Mustconfess, I was dubious when I first heard they were making another version of the Clavell novel. It has been a long time, a long long LONG time, but I read the book when it first came out in the late 70s and was mightily impressed. (I really need to give it a reread one of these days, but there are so many books, so little time). And the 1980 miniseries starring Richard Chamberlain as the Anjin was a landmark of long form television, right up with with ROOTS; why do it over again, when that version was so good?
Antonella Alfonso, in her possibly first recording with Romantica, blends seamlessly with the band and delivers a pleasant experience. I quite like the female take on the theme; it fits its elegant characteristic and paints with gentle, calming tones.
For the record, Pugliese's 1946 rendering with Roberto Chanel is not necessarily binding in Romantica's opinion. It's miles away in terms of its arrangement, and that's okay. They opted for a decidedly uncomplicated, optimistic interpretation and it totally makes sense.
Maipo starts with a long-ish piano intro, and the piano has a certain honky-tonky quality that made me grin. I found it satisfying, although not particularly memorable. You've probably danced to D'Arienzo's 1939 version, so you pick your favorite.
That said, you don't need originality to make dancers happy, so whatever the cover might lack there it more than enough supplies in the enthusiasm department. Sitting down, I might pass, but I'd hate to be left standing on a milonga with this track opening an instrumental tanda!
If you've danced to probably the only previous recording of it, the 1956 version by Edgardo Donato c. Ral Angel, you can call yourself a true tango nerd! ? I tried DJing it once - not sure what the reception was back then, but I haven't tried since. Late Donato can be tricky to get right and is definitely not suitable for all audiences.
Romantica recreated the tune in a way that I think has better chances of finding happy customers. It's not as dark as Donato without compromising its lyrical qualities. I liked the singer Marc Bellini, for whom it's possibly also his first appearance on Romantica's records; he's expressive enough and does not overdo it.
BOSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 23, 2024--Tango Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ: TNGX), a clinical-stage biotechnology company committed to discovering and delivering the next generation of precision cancer medicines, today announced that it will discontinue development of its TNG348 program.
TNG348 was being studied in a phase 1/2 clinical trial evaluating safety, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics and efficacy as a single agent and in combination with olaparib, a PARP inhibitor, in patients with BRCA1/2-mutant and other HRD+ (homologous recombination deficient) cancers. Grade 3/4 liver function abnormalities were observed in patients remaining on study longer than eight weeks, leading to the decision to terminate the program. No patient had yet received a combination of TNG348 and olaparib.
Tango Therapeutics is a clinical-stage biotechnology company dedicated to discovering novel drug targets and delivering the next generation of precision medicine for the treatment of cancer. Using an approach that starts and ends with patients, Tango leverages the genetic principle of synthetic lethality to discover and develop therapies that take aim at critical targets in cancer. This includes expanding the universe of precision oncology targets into novel areas such as tumor suppressor gene loss and their contribution to the ability of cancer cells to evade immune cell killing.

Modules that have not been yet ported are located in the unported folder. All those located in the tango folder are ported, in the sense that they pass the import+unittest test (sometimes imperfectly on 64 bits due to DMD bugs). Right now this means that essentially all the user modules (with the exception for tango.math.BigNum, which is aliased to std.bigint until further notice) and a large majority of tango.core modules are ported. Examples in the doc/examples folder should also work.
I do the porting on Linux, so that is the most tested platform. It generally should also compile on Windows, but might not pass all the unit-tests, since DMD does weird things with unittests on Windows. All other platforms probably don't compile at all.
Since one of the important use cases of this port is porting programs from D1 to D2, breaking changes in functionality have been avoided as much as possible. Sometimes, however, this would introduce hidden heap usage or unsafe operation. Those things are even more detestable, especially for Tango's future, than breaking backwards compatibility. Cases where changes were introduced are documented here.
jordisayol maintains a APT repository with a reasonably recent version of Tango-D2 available there. Worth a try if you're using a Debian based OS. To use it, follow the directions on this website: -apt/wiki/APT_Repository .
I haven't seen any discussion on BM about Voxeldance's Tango slicing software so far but as I noticed that a cutdown version of it (minus I believe the fancy supports) now ships with Elegoo's new Mars 4, I thought I'd add a quick review - either for anyone encountering this software for the first time or indeed those wondering if the paid version is worth it. As this review is based upon the paid version and I currently print on a Saturn 2, please bear that in mind when reading the following commentary - experiences with different printers will always vary!
The first thing to say as a longtime user of Lychee and sometimes Chitubox (which have more in common than they differ in many of the basics) is that Voxeldance seem to have started with the express intention of creating a workspace significantly different from their competitors. That's not always a positive factor in software design of course, but in this case they have I feel succeeded in evolving a 'next level' user experience, one with far more nuanced and responsive approaches to the task of supporting and slicing models for print.
Look, feel and operation are crisp and responsive - quite refreshingly it feels like you are in a screen environment where the designers have concentrated on letting the workflow, well, flow! Perhaps an odd thing to say about a piece of software but the interface feels more clean and spacious throughout than other slicing software I've used. There are two workspaces which you can easily flip between from the top of the screen - 'Preparing', where all the various preparations for hollowing, orienting and supporting take place, and 'Slicing', which simply handles anti-aliasing and sliced exports:
Creating your project uses the familiar start-point of picking your printer from a list (currently there are about 30+ maunfacturers listed - a number of which I've not encountered before) and then customising the profile for the resin you're using:
This aspect of the software quite blew me away when I realized what it was doing. Eschewing the basic tip/pillar/raft paradigm, Voxeldance have done two innovative things here which single Tango out - creating different families of supports suited to different subjects, allied to some quite sophisticated algorithms which generate connective lattices.
Judging by the names of many of the support families, it's clear that VDT already has a significant following in the Gundam and figure printing community. It's a simple process to modify these support parameters in order to create support scripts personalized to your own type(s) of work. A nice feature in this regard is that rather than trying to cram all the parameters into a single window, Voxeldance scale the information across the main panel and a subsidiary 'More Settings' window so that you don't get swamped with too much data in a single place.
You'll also notice in the above screenshot that by default, the 'Support' window opens in 'Auto-Support' mode. Normally 'auto' anything I avoid like the plague ( particularly auto-supports in slicing software!) but in this instance it works well, quite unbelievably well in fact. If you prefer to use the manual function instead (which I tend to due to the rather complicated nature of some of the parts I work with at present) you just click on the 'manual' button in the bottom left of the 'Supports' window and you're free add what ever supports you want from scratch. You can also mix support types in full auto mode or mix auto and manual together. Addditionally you can go back and edit any individual support or combinations of support in detail at any stage. I particularly like how the 'Tree' support type lets you grow extra branches from a central core without the need for a whole forest of pilllars.
Where VDT score hands down over its competitors is in the supporting lattices which are generated automatically to produce a stable 'cradle' for your object. This enables you to use more supports with smaller tip sizes and thereby reduce surface damage to the object. Additionally, these 'nets' of supports are usually quite easy to tear off by hand before curing. These lattices will vary according to the support type you are using and again are fully adjustable/editable. Another nice touch here are the perforated rafts and customisable extents allowing you to save on resin and increasing ease of removal from the build plate after printing.
