An online convention was hosted by Anime NYC and NTWRK on November 17–20, 2020 as the conventions replacement. Anime NYC 2020 was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. New York City Councilmen Ben Kallos and Kanji Yamanouchi, Japan's UN representative both attended the event. Artists alley was moved into the dealer's hall, which was doubled in size. In 2019, Anime NYC used all of the Javits main event space. The convention also hosted Anisong World Matsuri at the Hammerstein Ballroom. Anime NYC added more floor space in 2018, with additional expansion planned in 2019. New York City declared an Anime NYC Weekend for the 2017 convention. In the convention's first year, they did not use the amount of space used by New York Comic Con. ![]() The first Anime NYC took over a year to plan and used two halls in the convention center. New York was chosen for the event due to its lack of a large anime convention. HistoryĪnime NYC's organizer LeftField Media created the New York Comic Con and also runs Washington DC's Awesome Con. Anime NYC offered 100 hours of programming in 2017. The convention typically offers arcade games, an artist alley, concerts, manga library (Carolina Manga Library), masquerade, panels, screenings, vendors, and video and card games. Recent interest in multicomputer systems is therefore concentrated on two or three-dimensional mesh and torus networks. A performance analysis of direct networks has shown that with wormhole switching technique, lower dimensional networks offer improved latency and throughput results for the same network bandwidth (Agrawal, 1991 Dally, 1990). Utilizing collective communication not only simplifies but also increases the functionality and efficiency of the parallel tasks. Collective communication patterns, such as broadcast and multicast, involve a group of intercommunicating nodes. In a multicomputer network, processors often need to communicate with each other for many reasons, such as data exchange and event synchronization. PDF Abstract XML References Citation How to cite this article The results indicate that the GTDMPM algorithm offers performance advantages over GTDBTPM algorithm. A simulation study has been conducted that compares the performance of these multicast algorithms under dynamic network traffic conditions in a 3-D mesh. Another introduced algorithm GTDMPM is designed such that can send messages to any number of destinations within multiple start-up communication phases hence the name General Tree-Dimension Multi-Phase Multicast. The introduced algorithm GTDBTPM is designed such that can send messages to any number of destinations within two start-up communication phases (in x- y- directions) using Binary search (in z direction) hence the name General Three-Dimension Binary Two-Phase Multicast. This study presents an efficient two algorithms, GTDBTPM, GTDMPM that implement multicast communication to find a deadlock-free wormhole routing in general three-dimensional networks without any restrictions in the number of rows or columns in the network. Deadlock in the interconnection network occurs when there is a cyclic dependency for consumption channels. In wormhole routing, a message is divided into flits and flits of one message may be spread out among several nodes. The essential pattern in new multicomputer generations is the multicast wormhole pattern, which corresponds to one-to-many communication in which one source sends the same message to multiple destination nodes. A mesh network is a popular architecture, which has been implemented, in many multicomputer systems. ![]() ![]() Once the bands stopped coming, people started to drop-out.” There’s not as many shows as there used to be, so there’s not as many straight-edge people. In the last four or five years it’s kind of diminished or fallen apart. There’s a band called AFB… Reno had a really solid straight-edge and hardcore. There’s 7 Seconds, which is one of the most famous hardcore punk bands ever. There’s a lot of really famous hardcore and punk bands from Reno. “There was an incredible hardcore and punk scene. “Reno actually used to have an incredible straight-edge scene, like disproportionately for the size of the city,” said Moore. It’s not for us, it’s just not my thing.”Īccording to Moore, Reno’s straight-edge punk scene has died down a bit. I know straight edge has a reputation of that because we don’t drink, do drugs or anything like that, that we hate people that do it and it’s not like that. Why would you do that?’ I think it’s hypocritical. It would be kind of fucked up of me to expect people to be cool with me when I’m like, ‘Hey I don’t drink’ and then on the other hand be like ‘well you drink, that’s stupid. Everybody’s got their own way of doing things. I think a lot of people don’t have as much control over their consumption as they think they do. I think a lot of people would benefit from questioning drugs’ and alcohol’s role in their life and how much of their consumption is based off desire and how much it’s based on habit or compulsion. There’s some people that can drink, do drugs and party and maintain a really normal life. ![]() You just don’t think about drinking because you don’t like it,” said Moore. “I liken it to like, think of a type of food you don’t like or a type of drink you don’t like. “I think people then look at us weird, because we don’t do this thing that is viewed as so normal, but we are just regular people outside of that… I knew if I started a habit really young that it would just get worse as time went on, so I didn’t want to partake at all.” “It’s just that one thing that society considers a normal thing that we don’t partake in,” James Moore, a current member of the straight-edge community, said. Some members even take it as far with not having sex and following a vegan diet. Pass out at the shows” the song then sparked the straight-edge movement. With provocative lyrics such as, “But I’ve got better things to do than sit around and smoke dope,” and “Hang out with the living dead. In 1981, a hardcore punk band by the name of Minor Threat released a song titled, “Straight Edge” where the band criticized the punk realm’s reckless lifestyle and called for people to think twice about the decisions they were making. ![]() The Sex Pistols bassist, Sid Vicious died from a heroin overdose and fans were also a subject to the consequences of excessive drug use. The ‘live fast, die young’ ideology was very much prevalent, although that lifestyle can come with severe consequences. Punk music provided a culture that invited thrash and heavy rock music and heavy drug-use. In 1970s and 1980s, the hardcore punk scene was ramping up in the music scene. However, there’s a strong subculture that uses the term to pride themselves and give themselves a community to which they belong. It’s commonly used by the younger generation to coin people who don’t party or go out very much. The term “Straight-Edge” has been thrown around when talking about people who aren’t risky or who don’t partake in drinking or recreational drugs.

I’d taken a music appreciation class in college, inspired partly by my mother, who grew up around classical music in her native Hungary and had exposed me to it along with Nat King Cole and a few other stalwarts of the era. And so it was the first time I came across Jean Sibelius’s “Finlandia,” on an LP I picked up used in a dusty music store in Santa Monica, California just about a half-century ago. He wrote a number of poems, travel books, and essays, but he is best known for writing the lyrics for the Finlandia hymn.The best music always crawls right under your skin, raising a few goosebumps along the way as it wends its way in short order to your heart. One of Finland’s most popular writers, he was influenced by Goethe, Runeberg, and the French Symbolists. In 1941, Sibelius’s hymn tune was texted by the Finnish poet Veikko Antero Koskenniemi. Jean Sibelius: “Finlandia-Hymn” (Hannu Jurmu, tenor Jouni Somero, piano) Nevertheless, it was swiftly adopted to become Finland’s second national anthem. But if the world wants to sing it, it can’t be helped.” For Sibelius, Finlandia was a “relatively insignificant composition,” as it eclipsed his more substantial works. It was sung around the world with such words as “Be Still My Soul,” “At the Table,” “Land of the Pine,” and “Our Farewell Song.” The composer had mixed feelings about these versions: “It is not intended to be sung… It is written for an orchestra. Often incorrectly cited as a traditional folk melody, the hymn actually sprang from the composer’s mind. For Sibelius, Finlandia was “the song of our battle, our hymn of victory.” From the very beginning, Finlandia proved hugely popular, and the magnificent closing hymn tune became an international hit. It premiered on 2 July 1900 in Helsinki with the Helsinki Philharmonic Society conducted by Robert Kajanus. In 1900, Sibelius reworked the final tableau into an independent symphonic poem and retitled his rousing patriotic essay Finlandia. The Sibelius Monument in the district of Töölö in Helsinki Jean Sibelius: “Finland Awakes” (Lahti Symphony Orchestra Osmo Vänskä, cond.) Prefaced by a prelude, Tableau 1 is titled “The Song of Väinämöinen,” Tableau 2 “The Finns are Baptized by Bishop Henry,” Tableau 3 “Scene from Duke Johan’s Court,” Tableau 4 “The Finns in the Thirty Years’ War,” Tableau 5 “The Great Hostility,” and Tableau 6 “Finland Awakes.” The title of the concluding tableau attracted negative attention from Russian censors, and for a while it was known under various titles such as “Impromptu,” “Happy Feelings at the awakening of Finnish Spring,” and “A Scandinavian Choral March.” I now grasp those Finnish, purely Finnish tendencies in music less realistically but more truthfully than before.” Depicting episodes from Finnish history, Sibelius extracted six tableaux from his melodrama. As he wrote to his wife Aino, “I would not wish to tell a lie in art … But I think I am now on the right path. Sibelius wanted to create something recognizably Finnish, but without resorting to direct imitation of folk music. Jean Sibelius’ Finlandia premiere edition Sibelius was gripped by the patriotic fervor of the poem, and the lines “I was born free and free will I die” deeply resonated with the composer. For that occasion, Sibelius composed a melodrama to a highly patriotic poem titled “The Melting of the Ice on the Ulea River” by Finnish writer Zachria Topelius. However, the event was clearly a front for rallying support for a free press. In October 1899 the Finnish press organized a fund-raising gala to raise money for newspaper pension funds. ![]() Jean Sibelius passionately disagreed and wrote, “We fought 600 years for our freedom and I am part of the generation which achieved it. While its constitution was initially respected, the 1899 manifesto declared that the tsar of Russia could rule Finland by edict, and that the Finnish constitution was entirely subject to the tsar’s will. Finland was ceded by Sweden to Russia in 1809, and gained the status of a grand duchy. The so-called “February Manifesto,” issued on 15 February 1899 was a Russian imperial proclamation that revoked Finland’s autonomy within the Russian Empire. |
