But that’s the beauty of what happens: it’s the fans who decided this was a great song. I don’t think we believed at the time that it would turn out to be so special. But, over the years, Iron Man has grown and grown. “We never thought of ourselves as a singles band anyway. “I think it worked best at the time in the context of the album,” Ward says. Although it reached No.52 in America (nine places higher than Paranoid), in the UK it make no impact at all. Sabbath released Iron Man as a single in 1971. “I suppose, because of the film, there’s also gonna be those who see a tie-up between what I wrote 40 years ago and the comic-book character. “When you have such a major film using it, then it does introduce it to a new generation, kids who perhaps aren’t aware of who Black Sabbath are but who might be tempted to go and check us out. “It was a recognition of just how much the song means,” he says with pride. In 2008, Iron Man received another boost when it was included in the movie of the same name, based on the Marvel Comics creation. I think its popularity now is such that, in a way, it no longer belongs to Ozzy, Geezer, Tony and me, it’s now everyone’s song.” It’s very musical, but also so theatrical. People recognise it as soon as it starts up. Their first two albums, Black Sabbath and Paranoid (both released in 1970), brought them great popularity with songs like 'Black Sabbath,' 'War Pigs,' 'Paranoid,' and 'Iron Man.' Due to their darker style, they initially received no radio play, and Vertigo Records had to bribe radio stations to play 'Iron Man,' which scraped the US charts. It’s now a part of the culture of the country. as Addeddate 17:03:37 Externalmetadataupdate Identifier BlackSabbathIronMan201905 Scanner Internet Archive HTML5 Uploader 1.6.4. “In America, if you go to most sports events you’ll hear it at some point. I’m very proud of what we achieved here.”īill Ward believes that the song’s stature has grown over the years, to the point where it has now gone beyond being just a great Sabbath song. “It’s fairly simple, yet also has a lot of depth. “I really do feel that when you listen to Iron Man, what you’re getting is the essence of what made Black Sabbath such a special band,” he offers. For Geezer Butler, it is perhaps the track that bests sums up the band. Over the years, Iron Man has become not only one of the cornerstones of the Sabbath catalogue, but also credited as one of the most important songs in the history of metal. Today it would be so easy for a band to get the proper sound on a song like this, because the technology exists.” In the end they did an excellent job under the circumstances. For Rodger and Tom, trying to make Iron Man work was so tough. I played very loud back then, and wanted a powerful bass drum sound that’s what the song needed. ![]() ![]() “The trouble was that the microphones available to us in 1970 just weren’t up to the task of capturing the power and depth of the sound. “Technically, we had real problems getting it right in the studio,” Ward recalls. For me, the drumming was a real challenge to get right in the studio. As soon as you hear that ominous start, you know something’s building. You can listen to Black Sabbath’s song ‘Iron Man’ and the podcast below.Former Sabbath drummer Bill Ward reckons that, musically, the song was nothing like anything else the band had done up to that point: “For me, this is a special song for the band. Whereas Jesus died to save people, Iron Man takes his revenge. And that was Iron Man seeing the future and coming back to tell the world how horrible it will be, and people turn against him. He’s this guy who goes and does good and then comes and tries to spread the word and ends up being crucified for telling the truth. However, the main difference between them is that Jesus died to save people, while Iron Man is vengeful.Ībout Black Sabbath’s ‘Iron Man,’ Geezer Butler told Eddie Trunk the following: ![]() Speaking to Eddie Trunk, Geezer Butler revealed they were inspired by Jesus while writing ‘Iron Man.’ According to the bassist, the song is about Jesus Christ’s life, and it bears similarities with Iron Man’s story. They then embarked on a tour in the US for the first time and released the album’s second single ‘Iron Man.’ Although it failed to achieve chart success, ‘Iron Man’ became one of Sabbath’s most popular songs. Sabbath also released ‘Paranoid’ in the US in January 1971.

![]() One of the big issues today in society is inequality. I also think it is really important for economic opportunity. I think that that’s probably quite compelling and positive. Not just in the sense that a version of me growing up today wouldn’t be stuck playing Little League, that I’d get to find people who are interested in the same things, so I could explore coding and have a much more vibrant community around that, or surfing, or whatever the thing is that you’re interested in. I think one of the things that is most magical about the present, and that I think is going to get even more so, is that flattening out distance creates a lot more opportunities for people. And in VR, people can pull up as many screens as they want so you can share as much context as you want during a meeting. ![]() So it’s no more of this, “Oh, I can only share one document at a time,” because everyone, you presume, only has one screen. You can project and different people can share as many documents as they want. You look over to the head of the table and there could be a screen there, where people who can’t be in VR or AR can videoconference in and be a part of your meeting from outside. If you’re sitting in a circle, everyone can kind of remember what order people were in. So if someone is sitting to your right, you’re sitting to their left. Even though the avatars aren’t as realistic today as they will be in a few years, in a lot of ways it already feels almost more real, and more like you have a sense of space, than a Zoom call, because you have the shared sense of space. And I already do a bunch of meetings in VR. ![]() The other area that I think is going to be pretty exciting is basically doing meetings.

With most music apps you find the controls are often jumbled together in a way that makes them almost unusable that’s not the case here. This is set up for you take your hand at hacking up tunes using drum pads or the arsenal of FX tools that sound great and are made just for the iPhone. We’ve covered the Ninja Jamm before, and it deserves to be brought up again. If you want an analog recreation in your pocket, this is it. Of course, there is an “init” one that is a blank canvas for your own creations. It comes preloaded with 192 beats from the original Electribe R, plus an additional 32 templates for different genres. This version of its famous groove box is accurate both in sound and look. ![]() Korg has several faithful recreations of many of its iconic hardware products. However, it could become daunting to use this on an iPhone for any extended period of time. The control over looping while using a touch screen allows users to really isolate specific elements, making it possible to really step up how you play with tracks together. What list would be complete without a Native Instruments product? While it is a bit tricky on a smaller phone, you can use your phone’s existing song library to mix tracks in minutes. However, the fact that you can use an iRig to plug in a guitar or keyboard and even incorporate your own voice into the mix makes GarageBand another great tool for getting ideas together on the fly. There are some expected limitations-including a max of eight tracks. ![]() It was built that way on purpose so anyone could pick it up and create music quickly. GarageBand for iOS is probably the user-friendliest of the DAW-type apps. The step sequencer, drum programming, and FX controls are all there, as well as the ability to create full songs and send them your desktop/laptop for additional work. Set up to look like it does on the desktop, the mobile version includes many of the features that make FL Studio so easy to use. What you get is a very stripped-down yet capable version of FL Studio. However, the miniature version they made for mobile has been available for both Android and iOS for a few years now. Up until recently, there has been no Mac version for FL Studio-the first incarnation is still in the testing phase. Propellerhead has created a great notepad for producers looking to sketch ideas on the go while freeing their thought process. The first thing you’ll notice that sets this apart is that it breaks from the oft-used setup of drum pads and keys and instead opts for more intuitive controls, which allow users to easily jump between velocity, FX and pitch controls. Here are 10 of the best apps every beat-maker should own. ![]() Since mobile music-making apps appeared a few short years ago, they have moved from simple toys to full-fledged professional tools from some of the industry’s top contenders. ![]() It seems that the main issue is that the new extension section has no clear (analogous to the article) way of preventing auto-helping to enable. Why is that? Can we get rid of them in anyway? I don't know even if we find the new section for the plugins if it would solve the problem, but if it doesn't, can we truly get these chrome helper processes to go away?Īs a side remark, I did go to the extensions section of chrome and I disabled all of my extensions, however, I still have at least 3 chrome helper windows running. Does someone know where the plugins section went to? The instructions are clear and easy to follow but it seems that the plug-ins button doesn't exist or it was moved. ( step that fails for me) About halfway down the content settings list is a “Plug-ins” entry, which will likely be set to “Run automatically.” Instead, select “Click to play.”.The first item in the expanded advanced settings list will be “Privacy,” and click on the “Content Settings” button right under that.go to “Preferences,” scroll all the way down in the menu.shut down all your Chrome windows without quitting the program.They suggest to follow the following steps: I looked at the other question Why does Google Chrome launch multiple instances of Google Chrome Helper? and this good article explaining what the issue is and how to solve it. I have no windows opened on chrome and it seems that the Helper processes still stay there regardless. If you’re switching to Firefox, you can also install some top Firefox add-ons to replace RAM-hungry Chrome extensions.I recently noticed that I had about 4 or 5 Google Chrome Helper processes running in my Mac. Once you’ve switched, it’s an easy process to transfer your bookmarks and other personal data from one browser to another. If you’ve disabled the Google Chrome Helper and Chrome is still slow to run, it may be time to consider switching to an alternative browser like Firefox on Windows or Safari on Mac. Switching from Google ChromeĮven the methods above can’t always deal with unusual memory leaks and excessive CPU usage in Google Chrome. This should stop the Google Chrome Helper process from appearing in Windows Task Manager or in Mac Activity Monitor with high CPU or RAM usage.Īt any point, you can retrace the steps above and re-enable the Google Chrome Helper process by selecting the Do not allow any site to use a plugin to access your computer slider, returning it to the on position. Once disabled, pages you access will no longer be able to run third-party plugins. If that doesn’t impact your PC, try to use some of the extensions you’ve enabled to see if these cause a spike in resource usage. Start with a fresh Chrome browser page and try to load pages that make your PC seem sluggish. To try and diagnose it, retrace your steps and monitor your resource usage while you’re using Chrome. The generic Google Chrome Helper or Google Chrome Helper (Renderer) process is the only indication that a third-party plugin or extension is causing the issue. If you’re using the Windows Task Manager or Mac Activity Manager to investigate first, however, you won’t find many answers. While Chrome still has a reputation for bad system resource management, there are things you can do to help limit Chrome’s impact, including disabling the Chrome Helper process entirely. The main cause of high CPU or RAM usage attached to the Google Chrome Helper isn’t the browser itself-it’s a plugin or extension using it. What Causes High Google Chrome Helper CPU and RAM Usage Before Google disabled Flash support, websites using Flash would need to access the appropriate Flash plugin, potentially causing Chrome to slow down or crash entirely. This is one reason why Adobe Flash in Chrome proved problematic, leading to Google blocking it by default. A bad extension or resource-heavy pages using third-party plugins will cause Chrome Helper to hit maximum CPU or RAM usage in certain circumstances. However, if your PC or Mac seems sluggish using Chrome, Google Chrome Helper could help you trace the problem. Most users won’t notice that it even exists. For instance, a site that installs new software through the Chrome browser will require an unsandboxed plugin that has the authority to access resources outside of Chrome itself. In particular, these are plugins that typically require additional system access outside of standard plugins and extensions. The Google Chrome Helper process (and the Google Chrome Helper (Renderer) process) is a generic name for third-party content loaded in your browser, whether it’s a third-party extension or embedded content like a video player. This is where the Google Chrome Helper component of the Chrome browser becomes useful. ![]() The fun is accompanied by calm, relaxing music by Rich Vreeland - an American composer using the pseudonym Disasterpeace, whose portfolio includes soundtracks for such productions as Hyper Light Drifter and Fez. The devs provide us with several image modes that enable us to adjust the appearance of the game to the needs of people affected by color blindness or even to playing at night. Mini Motorways features simple, almost minimalist graphics the whole thing is clear, so we can quickly see the situation on our roads. As we progress, we unlock various improvements that enable us to meet the growing expectations and needs of motorized citizens. In addition, metropolitan areas are constantly growing, so the key to success is also careful planning of future projects and thinking "ahead". Covering the "concrete jungle" with a network of streets providing access to all the most important places and building crossroads with traffic lights is no longer enough after some time, and we have to build flyovers and bridges or collision-free crossroads, for example. The game offers a number of locations inspired by real cities (such as Los Angeles, Beijing, Tokyo, Munich or Moscow), and our task is to create a network of roads with as much capacity as possible. In Mini Motorways the action is shown in top-down view. This title was developed by the independent studio Dinosaur Polo Club from New Zealand's Wellington the team is famous for its warmly received Mini Metro. Overall, it does not reach the same height as its predecessor.Mini Motorways is a game combining strategy, puzzle and simulation game elements. The levels are also repetitive and tend to become boring. Its map lacks mechanical variety and has no additional gameplay modes. However, true to its name, the game is a little too mini. In Mini Motorways, you get to play the role of town planner as you have to design the road system for an ever growing city to keep the roads running. It offers simple gameplay, superb visuals, and an enthralling soundtrack. Mini Motorway is a good title to try if you are looking for a casual game. Sure, there are daily challenges to break the monotony, but it’s still not enough to convince players to pick up the game again. The levels also become repetitive and do not provide enough variety. Moreover, it does not have sandbox modes or the option to save maps locally. Unlike Mini Metro, which has years’ worth of content updates, this game only comes with 11 levels. ![]() Unfortunately, the game lacks long-term replayability. These rewards can be useful items, such as roundabouts, traffic lights, motorways, and of course, additional road tiles. If you manage to succeed in the weekly challenge, you will get one of the two randomly selected rewards. A countdown begins when the cars run out of roads, which will eventually trigger a game over. With this, you need a strategy to keep your roads network optimized.Īs you design your roads, cars will travel from houses to various destinations. However, there are limited road tiles that you can use, although you can delete and replace them anytime. To do so, you only have to click and drag the road to your desired location. As mentioned, your goal is to connect the houses, shops, office buildings, and warehouses with roads. Mini Motorway has simple yet engaging gameplay. Sophomore Kynzie Steffens said, “It wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be. Some students have tried out the new test format by taking the practice tests available on the Pearson website. Although there is no time limit, students must finish each test the same day they begin it. This was decided by the designer of the test, Pearson. In the end, Iowa chose the ISASP.Īnother change affects the time students may spend on each test. The Iowa legislature and state school board looked into possible tests to substitute for the Iowa Assessments but “didn’t see eye to eye,” Northwick said. The change in testing comes from the Federal Government, which has transitioned from the “No Student Left Behind Act” to the “Every Student Succeeds Act”–which altered the guidelines for state testing. “I would love to explain a lot more but it’s new to everyone,” Northwick said when saying the state of Iowa has determined that science will be tested in only three grades. Sophomores may wonder why they are singled out for the extra test. ![]() Grades three through 11 will take the mathematics, language arts and writing portions and grades five, eight and 10 will also take the science portion. Students of Iowa will now be taking the Iowa Statewide Assessment of Student Progress (ISASP) in place of the Iowa Assessments. I would love to explain a lot more but it’s new to everyone” ![]() Turmoil used a stasis lock to trap him in robot mode and attempted to execute him. Claiming Turmoil was too cautious and that it was time for new leadership, he called for the other soldiers to follow him, but they summarily captured him and brought him to Turmoil. When the soldier threatened to inform Turmoil of Deadlock's disobedience, Deadlock killed him. This was spoiled when one of the soldiers pointed out that Deadlock had been ordered to merely observe, and once again had disobeyed orders. The Autobots' leader called a retreat, and Deadlock's team celebrated. ![]() Much later, on the planet Dabola, Deadlock led a battalion against an Autobot squadron. Empire of Stone #2 Empire of Stone #3ĭeadlock prefers to pose so his legs don't block any of the action. The two of them would go on to massacre the inhabitants before leaving, though not before Deadlock recorded the presence of a Stone Army on the planet. Drift #1ĭuring their time with Gigatron, Turmoil and Deadlock crashed on a desert world and investigated a nearby stone fortress to find a way out. ![]() Drift #2 Drift rose to become the second-in-command of Turmoil, garnering a reputation as a vicious and merciless fighter. Drift agreed and, after being was hailed by the crowd, was renamed Deadlock by Megatron. Megatron singled Drift out of the crowd, claiming to have heard great things of him, and asked him to join the Decepticons to fight for a better Cybertron. Amongst this group, Drift realized the level of corruption in the Senate, and a recruitment rally held by Megatron drew Drift in with his talk of equality. His knack for violence attracted the attention of the Cybertronian underground, who trained Drift as a killer. Drift exploded with rage, grabbed the nearest gun and killed them all. Post Hocĭrift would soon learn what that was, after Gasket was killed by Autobot law enforcement after trying to stop them from executing a thief. Ratchet saved Drift's life, and told the young robot that he could achieve great things in his life if he tried- he could just tell Drift was destined for something special. Drift was rescued by Orion Pax, who brought him to Ratchet's secret clinic in Rodion. During one drug trip in the Dead End, he was assaulted by Sonic and Boom, who were abducting homeless people for money. The hopeless 'bot was befriended by Gasket Drift #2 but otherwise had no one. "Eh.Inferno, tell to Death Blade that if he calling me that again, his name will become DEATH BOT!"ĭrift was originally a homeless Cybertronian, living on the streets and stealing energon to survive. An ancient weapon that predates modern civilization, the Great Sword draws upon the spark energy of its bearer, and as such must only be used in the most dire of circumstances. ![]() In addition to the two swords kept in his hip scabbards, Drift carries a legendary Great Sword. This hits Drift more than you might think because at the end of the day, despite his loner attitude, Drift really just wants to be part of something. It doesn't matter what his personality is because with his Decepticon past, Drift isn't well-liked or trusted by a few of the Autobots and some of the Decepticons think he's just lying about having changed. He since went on to be an enthusiastic spiritualist and a self-punishing crusader, all in an attempt to get away from the nasty parts of his personality that are still lurking within him. When Drift returned to the Transformer war to make right what he put wrong, he was a bot of few words and disciplined action. He discarded his ruthless ways, abandoned his guns for swords, and changed his name and appearance. But Deadlock's eyes were opened to what the Transformers' war had become when he stumbled across a lost faction of neutral Transformers long since forgotten. In fact, he slaughtered quite a few when he was known as the Decepticon Deadlock. While you were out partying, I studied THE BLADE.ĭrift was not always an Autobot. |
