Until we hear otherwise, these recordings cannot be hosted here. A recording I uploaded and marked no lossy formats had them created mp. How can I remove them If you come across this situation and you are the uploader, click edit, select the derivation option you prefer, and then Update. You should see the message Format Options Updated Successfully. Within 1. 0 minutes the system will create a rules. Then, the next time the system performs an automatic sweep looking for changes, it will notice the new rules file and remove the lossy files automatically. The sweep occurs approximately twice a day, so you should see the files removed within 1. If you are not the uploader, send us an email etree at archive dot org and an admin will remove them. How do I search for an artist by date of the concerts As an example Ill search for Del Mc. Coury. start at https archive. Del Mc. Coury in the Search this Collection text field on the right side and hit return. I prefer list view so I click the icon the four stacked horizontal lines all the way on the right side of the SORT BY bar. And, I check the SHOW DETAILS box to show more information. Now Ive got results for Del Mc. Coury in the Live Music Archive at https archive. Del2. 0Mc. Coury. Now click the DATE PUBLISHED link in the SORT BY bar above the results. Now Ive got them sorted by concert date from newest to oldest at https archive. DelMc. Coury sort date. To reverse the order click the UpDown arrows just to the left of the words SORT BY in the SORT BY bar. Now they concert dates are from oldest to newest at https archive. DelMc. Coury sortdate. Why is a. txt file requiredThe. LMA collection to populate metadata in the item, especially the titles of tracks in the playlist. Please be sure it is a. Should I upload checksum files like MD5 or ftp We no longer require nor desire checksum or fingerprint files. Often they cause problems when files are changed in the item. Systems have improved to the point where we no longer see checksums as necessary to verify accurate uploaddownload. Can I upload concert videos At this time, video uploads are not being accepted, namely because most of the bands archived prohibit the video taping of their shows. Moreover, unlike audio, where we actually have a shot at archiving the vast majority of any given bands live concerts in very high quality format, video is scarce and, unless made by the artist in which case, its typically for commercial purposes, is not of particularly good quality. Theres no set list for this show, or, The set list does not match up with the number of files. Should I submit an error report There has been an increasing number of shows uploaded to the Live Music collection without set list information, or the set list was not properly matched to the files. When you notice a recording like this, please email us etree at this domain only if you have an updated set list, or you are able to match the files up correctly. We would prefer that you do not submit error reports letting us know that there is no set list tracking down set lists for every concert and matching them up to the recordings is a monumental task that has grown beyond the capabilities of the small group of Archive. We would like fans that are familiar with each artists material to help us with this project in your email, please give us specific instructions on what changes to make and we will do so. Im an artist who would like to be included in the Archive, what do I need to do Wed love to have you Just write to us at etree at archive dot org in English giving some kind of permission for us to archive your shows for public download and noncommercial, royalty free circulation. It does not need to be a formally worded declaration, and can come from anyone you feel has the say so. We just need to be clear on how you feel about the project. We will put relevant quotes onto a new collection page examples for your performances, along with a link to your official website. It is necessary for you to email us at etree at archive dot org in order to create a new section. We want to be sure that the go ahead really is coming from you. Please do not attempt to create your own collection, or to upload any of the bands shows, in advance of receiving an emailed confirmation message from curators such attempts may significantly complicate or delay the curators setup process. You can give as much or as little scope for archiving as you like. Some bands place limits on what can be hosted, and we can accommodate those. Archive Curators, volunteer fans who have proven to be in line with the spirit of this archive, will attempt to screen contributions for OKed material only. At the same time you give the go ahead, feel free to pass along any notes or policy links on your general tapingtrading stance as well. You dont need to have a formal written or posted policy before inclusion, but wed like to know how you feel about the topic. Besides fans sending their copies of your shows, you can also prepare and upload your own live recordings to the Archive, if you like. In fact, if youd like to limit your material to selected contributions from you only, please just let us know. If you have any questions about the project, please ask us anytime at etree at archive dot org. I have a different source for a show that is already in the archive, should I upload it anyway Yes In keeping with the nature of this Archive, it is appropriate for multiple sources of the same show to be available for download. When you upload the new source, be sure to name the source in the shows top level folder to avoid confusion. Some bands do place limits on the types of sources allowed such as soundboard recordings, so please check the policy for any given band. The progress of my upload says File metadata XML invalid. Waiting for user to correct. How can I fix thisThis is typically caused by illegal symbols being used somewhere in the information that was put into one of the forms submitted with the show either the import form or File Options. Double check that the only characters used are those visible on a standard English language 1. More information and a few examples are here. If you have trouble finding the cause, please post to the forum for help. An admin will have to resubmit the recording for another try, so please send an email including a link to the recording to etree AT archive DOT org if you believe you have cleared the issue. More information on what XML files are and how they are created can be read here. Can bands place restrictions on material to be archivedYes. Each band can tailor the extent of their permission to the Archive. We quote the bands wishes in the Rights section of the bands Collection page. Here are some examples of special restrictions bands have requested. We point out different cases in a bands policy information using a shorthand Limited Flag tag. We have a contribution system set up to accommodate individual bands requirements. Four Incredible Eclipses History Never Forgot. As everyone is undoubtedly aware by this point, on August 2. The whole shebang will last about two minutes and 4. In 2. 00. 9, for example, a solar eclipse visible in Southeast Asia set the record for the longest one of the century so far, lasting six minutes and 4. Like most celestial happenings throughout history, eclipses were often interpreted as signs of the apocalypse. Luckily, these pessimistic prognostications never panned out. Instead, people built instruments to better assist their understandings of eclipses and realized they were actually sort of good. In honor of the Great American Solar Eclipse, here are some of the greatest hits over the last few centuries. May 2. 8th, 5. 85 BCEThe Battle of the EclipseIn ancient times, eclipses were sometimes seen as opportunities to communicate with the dead, or more broadly speaking, profoundly spooky events. But in at least one case, a total solar eclipse helped stop a gruesome war. According to Greek historian Herodotus, two factionsthe Lydians of ancient Turkey, and the Medes of ancient Iranwere fighting over land in the Anatolian peninsula, which is modern day Turkey. It happened right in the middle of a battle between warring nations, the Lydians and the Medes, Bryan Brewer, author of. Eclipse History. Science. Awe., told Gizmodo. The groups had been fighting for more than a decade, but the eclipse quickly brought the battle to a halt. The event, possibly the first solar eclipse to have ended a war, was henceforth known as the battle of the eclipse. Both parties took it as an omen and laid down their weapons and made peace right on the spot, Brewer said. Its worth noting that scholars have pointed out certain inconsistencies in Herodotus account of the eventsfor instance, his narrative suggests that totality occurred in the middle of the day, but the path of the May 2. We may never know exactly how things went down on that fateful day, but suffice to say the events left an impression that lasted through the ages. August 2. 1st, 1. The Eclipse. This upcoming solar eclipse isnt the first to take place on August 2. On that same date in 1. Tycho Brahe to become interested in the stars. Brahe was inspired by the event and would go on to create better instruments for astronomers studying cosmic phenomenon. Young Tycho Brye as a teenager saw it the eclipse, astronomer Jay Pasachoff, who is co curating a gallery of eclipse related artifacts at Art. Center in California, told Gizmodo. The prediction was off by a day, and he resolved that when he grew up, he would make better observations about what was going on. Using the resources he had as a Danish aristocrat, he was able to build the biggest pre telescopic devices of his time and made careful observations. That was eventually what Johannes Kepler used to figure out the laws of planetary orbits. Keplers three laws of planetary motion would become his most influential contribution to the scientific community, since many of his forebears adamantly believed planets moved in a circular orbit. Without Brahes innovation, and in some tangential way, his fascination with that 1. Kepler never would have invented his planetary laws. April 8th, 1. 65. Mirk MondayThis total solar eclipse was known as Mirk Monday, and it horrified those in western Europe who could see it. The word mirk seems to come from the Old Norse word myrkr which literally translates to darkness. While we dont know much about the eclipse itself, it appears to have spurred many dystopian descriptions, for example, one text called A Discourse on the Terrible Eclipse of the Sun. This was likely just one of many incidences in which eclipses were seen as signs of the apocalypse. To be fair, the idea of turning off the Sun seemed pretty scary back then. People really didnt understand what was going on and just took eclipses as omens,Pasachoff said. There are books that talk about the negative consequences of this eclipse. But not everyone was terrified. One onlooker, Dr. Wyberg of Carrickfergus, Scotland, waxed poetic about it The Sun was reduced to a very slender crescent of light, the Moon all at once threw herself within the margin of the solar disc with such agility that she seemed to revolve like an upper millstone, affording a pleasant spectacle of rotatory motion. May 2. Einsteins TriumphTheres absolutely no question which was the most important and mind blowing eclipse of all time, and that was the one in 1. Doug Duncan, an astronomer in Department of Astrophysical and Planetary Sciences at UC Boulder, told Gizmodo. That was the eclipse we discovered that Einsteins idea that space and time can bend is correct. Einstein had just put forth the idea that gravity can warp the fabric of spacetime four years prior, in his theory of general relativity in 1. The total solar eclipse of 1. Astronomers wanted to catch a beam of light going past the Sun to see if it would bend, Duncan explained. Delete Windows 7 Welcome Screen Background more. They took pictures of the same part of the sky when the Sun had moved to a different constellation and compared the pattern of the stars. Even something as massive as the sun only bends light a little bit, but nevertheless, when they analyzed their pictures, they found that space bent. This was one of the first good natural opportunities to block out the Sun, and Einsteins theory predicted that light would bend near the edge of it. It did. The eclipse was seen as a triumph over Newtonian physics, which predicted that light would bend at the edge of the Sun, but not as much as Einsteins theory suggested. This ascended Einstein to celebrity status and left much of the scientific community, as one New York Times headline suggested, agog.
