The Top of the Pops archive has been a real labour of love for me, and it has taken a good 4 years to get to this point. I would like to thank a number of people, sources and websites; whom without, this project would not exist on the internet.

I just started learing how to use Godot and stumbled across my first issue. I did everything as shown in various tutorials but whenever I use the Parallax Background and set up mirroring the new mirrored part of the background renders just after the end is visible in the player camera. So basically the next background part pops up on camera so one sees that just repeats. I set the x-value for mirroring to be the same as the width of the background image (just some trees for testing, so there is no y-axis to mirror).

I had this problem when I was using ParalaxLayers to make an infinite scrolling vampire survivors style ground effect. The problem was the child sprite 2d that held the texture. under the Sprite 2d the Offset was set to Centered. My guess is that the texture keeps popping back to center. Turned it off and it works fine.

The Michigan Pops Orchestra is the oldest student-run, student-directed collegiate pops orchestra in the United States. The organization was founded in 1996 by Warren Hsu, a University of Michigan student committed to enhancing musical diversity across campus.

If the effect is being used on one pop at a time, that relatively easy to do.
If you mean that you want to be able to process multiple pops with a dynamically changing mute level that follows the dynamics of the music, that is quite a bit harder, and I expect that it would also require the threshold level to also change dynamically.

I use a ceiling mic to pick up individuals in the congregation speaking without a mic. Sometimes a cough reverberates, so it has a sharp attack and a slow decay. The separate controls would let me approximate the event envelope.

That track does not lend itself to using pop-mute to remove the bass drum: on that track the bass drum does not produce peaks above the rest of the track, which is what the pop-mute technique I suggested relies upon.

I have read and followed everything I can find about archiving data, but the problem is that the location specified in Tools/Account Settings/(account)/Copies and Folders does not appear to exist. The entry in the box is the account name. Is that a problem, and in any case, where are my messages?

Well, I followed the directions for archiving (open folder, select first entry, hold CNTL and shift, select the last one, click Archive button), and expected to find a folder called "SBC" (the account name) with old emails in it. I found... Nothing. Zero. Zip. Nada.

As for pop vs IMAP, neither Tools/Options nor Tools/Account Settings has anything about either one. I told TB that I had SBC, and it worked it all out by itself. There isn't a folder called Global Inbox; the default is just called Inbox. The one in question is one that I set up, not the default.

Did I set up Archive Options? Well, it certainly LOOKS set up. "Keep Message Archives in" is checked, as is "Archive Folders on:" and that dialog box says "SBC". The Archive Options button leads to a form that has "yearly archived folders" selected, and "Keep existing file structure of archived messages" is also checked. It didn't generate any error messages when I ran the archive.

Assuming you have a standard Pop mail account:The emails you archived, should be located in the new 'Archives;' folder.This would appear in the Folder Pane under your mail account as >> 'Archives'>> >> 2014>> >> >> Name of folder which originally had the emails you chose to be archived.

Top of the Pops (TOTP) is a British music chart television programme, made by the BBC and broadcast weekly between 1 January 1964 and 30 July 2006. The programme was the world's longest-running weekly music show. For most of its history, it was broadcast on Thursday evenings on BBC One. Each show consisted of performances of some of the week's best-selling popular music records, usually excluding any tracks moving down the chart, including a rundown of that week's singles chart. This was originally the Top 20, though this varied throughout the show's history. The Top 30 was used from 1969, and the Top 40 from 1984.

Dusty Springfield's "I Only Want to Be with You" was the first song featured on TOTP, while the Rolling Stones were the first band to perform, with "I Wanna Be Your Man".[4] Snow Patrol were the last act to play live on the weekly show when they performed their single "Chasing Cars".[5] Status Quo made more appearances than any other artist, with a total of 87 (the first was with "Pictures of Matchstick Men" in 1968 and last with "The Party Ain't Over Yet" in 2005).[6][7]

Special editions were broadcast on Christmas Day (and usually, until 1984, a second edition a few days after Christmas), featuring some of the best-selling singles of the year and the Christmas number one. Although the weekly show was cancelled in 2006,[8] the Christmas special continued annually. End-of-year round-up editions have also been broadcast on BBC1 on or around New Year's Eve, albeit largely featuring the same acts and tracks as the Christmas Day shows.[9][10][11] In a change of format, the festive specials did not return in 2022 or 2023 and were replaced by an end-of-year review show on BBC Two. It also survives as Top of the Pops 2, which began in 1994 and features vintage performances from the Top of the Pops archives. Though TOTP2 ceased producing new episodes since 2017, repeats of older episodes are still shown.

Bill Cotton devised the name Top of the Pops.[16] Cotton, Johnnie Stewart and Stanley Dorfman devised the rules which governed how the show would operate: the programme would always end with the number one record, which was the only record that could appear in consecutive weeks. The show would include the highest new entry and (if not featured in the previous week) the highest climber on the charts, and omit any song going down in the chart.[17][18][1] Tracks could be featured in consecutive weeks in different formats. For example, if a song was played over the chart countdown or the closing credits, then it was acceptable for the act to appear in the studio the following week.

These rules were sometimes interpreted flexibly. It was originally based on the Top 20. By the 1970s, the Top 30 was being used and the show was extended from thirty to forty-five minutes duration and songs that were featured outside the charts were chosen according to Dorfman and his fellow producer's Melvyn Cornish's personal taste and judgement.[19] The rules were more formally relaxed from 1997 when records descending the charts were featured more regularly, possibly as a response to the changing nature of the Top 40 (in the late 1990s and early 2000s climbers in the charts were a rarity, with almost all singles peaking at their debut position).

When the programme's format changed in November 2003, it concentrated increasingly on the top 10. Later, during the BBC Two era, the top 20 was regarded as the main cut-off point, with the exception made for up and coming bands below the top 20. Singles from below the top 40 (within the top 75) were shown if the band were up and coming or had a strong selling album. If a single being performed was below the top 40, just the words "New Entry" were shown and not the chart position.

The show was originally intended to run for only a few programmes but lasted over 42 years, reaching landmark episodes of 500, 1,000, 1,500 and 2,000 in the years 1973,[20] 1983,[21] 1992 and 2002[22] respectively.

The first show was presented by Jimmy Savile, with a brief link to Alan Freeman in London to preview the following week's programme. The producer Johnnie Stewart based the show's format on Savile's Teen and Twenty Disc Club on Radio Luxembourg.[25] The first show featured (in order) Dusty Springfield with "I Only Want to Be with You", the Rolling Stones with "I Wanna Be Your Man", the Dave Clark Five with "Glad All Over", the Hollies with "Stay", the Swinging Blue Jeans with "Hippy Hippy Shake" and the Beatles with "I Want to Hold Your Hand",[26] that week's number one. Throughout its history, the programme proper always (with very few exceptions) finished with the best-selling single of the week, although there often was a separate play-out track over the end credits.

Later in 1964, the broadcast time was moved to one hour later, at 7:35 pm, and the show moved from Wednesdays to what became its regular Thursday slot. Additionally its length was extended by 5 minutes to 30 minutes.[citation needed]
