Song of the day 3/22/10

JS

Your time to cry By Joe Simon

http://www.zshare.net/audio/7401362300c0ceac/

Even though the first few notes may sounds like a Bruce Hornsby and The Range song, this is in fact just a really depressing bluesy song. The moral? Never judge a book by it’s cover or a song but it’s shitty opening notes.

wpCAS-w-LDAP 1.0

Author: Ioannis C. Yessios

wpCAS-w-LDAP allows you to use your own CAS architecture to authenticate users in your WordPress blog. It also allows you to configure an LDAP connection to get user information for user not already members of your WordPress installation

Installation:

Download phpCAS and place it on your webserver so that it can be included by the wpCAS-w-LDAP plugin.

Place the plugin folder in your wp-content/plugins/ directory and activate it.

Set any options you want in Settings -> wpCAS with LDAP or in the wpcasldap-conf.php file.

The plugin starts intercepting authentication attempts as soon as you activate it. Use another browser or another computer to test the configuration.

wpcasldap-conf.php

wpCAS-w-LDAP can be configured either via the settings page in the WordPress dashboard, or via a configuration file. See wpcasldap-conf-sample.php for an example. If a config file is used, it overrides any settings that might have been made via the settings page and configured portion of that page are hidden.

Use of wpcasldap-conf.php is recommended for the CAS and LDAP portions of an WordPressMU installations, as doing so hides the settings menu from users. The option to use LDAP, add users, and default role can be left to blog administrators.

faq:

What version of phpCAS should I use?

wpCAS-w-LDAP has been tested with phpCAS version 1.0.1.

Where do I get phpCAS

http://www.ja-sig.org/wiki/display/CASC/phpCAS

How’s it work?

Users who attempt to login to WordPress are redirected to the central CAS sign-on screen. After the user’s credentials are verified, s/he is then redirected back to the WordPress site. If the CAS username matches the WordPress username, the user is recognized as valid and allowed access. If the CAS username does not exist in WordPress, you can define a function that could provision the user in the site.

What’s the relationship between LDAP and CAS?

There is none.

What if LDAP is not installed on my server?

wpCAS-w-LDAP will ignore attempts to use LDAP and will essentially work just like wpCAS by Casey Bisson.

Doesn’t this already exist?

wpCAS-w-LDAP replicates the functionality of wpCAS by Casey Bisson. It adds LDAP functionality to his original code. I created wpCAS-w-LDAP so that when new users are added my WordPressMU install, they will be added with a full set of information.

Smadav Pro 2010 Rev. 8.1 Free Download

Smadav Pro 2010 Rev. 8.1 Free Download

Penambahan database 100 virus baru

Virus (atau lebih tepatnya Malware) yang banyak menyebar di Indonesia saat ini kebanyakan adalah virus buatan luar negeri yang sifatnya masih mirip dengan virus lokal. Virus-virus inilah yang menjadi target-target Smadav versi terbaru ini. Virus lokal sendiri saat ini sudah mulai menurun penyebarannya dan sangat jarang ditemukan. Ini kami simpulkan dari sampel-sampel virus yang di-upload oleh Smadaver di www.smadav.net.

Smadav Virus Scanner Engine (SmadEngine.dll)

Engine lama Smadav yang telah digunakan sejak 2006 tidak digunakan lagi sejak Smadav 2010 Rev. 8.1 ini. Perombakan ulang Virus Scanner Engine inilah yang membuat rilis Smadav tertunda sebulan lebih. Engine terbaru ini benar-benar ditulis ulang dari nol menggunakan bahasa pemrograman C++ dengan menyempurnakan engine sebelumnya yang masih ditulis dengan Visual Basic. Sebagian besar teknik pendeteksian virus yang ada di engine baru ini telah dirubah dan disempurnakan menjadi lebih baik. Penggunaan memori di engine baru lebih stabil dan efisien dibandingkan engine lama, begitu pula kecepatan scanning yang juga menjadi lebih cepat.

Kompatibel di Windows Vista & 7

Pada Rev. 8 dan rev-rev sebelumnya Smadav memang masih belum kompatibel 100% di Windows Vista dan Windows 7. Tapi di Rev. 8.1 ini Smadav baik scanner maupun protector-nya sudah mendukung dan kompatibel 100% untuk digunakan di Windows Vista dan Windows 7.

Berikut ini adalah daftar lengkap penyempurnaan Smadav 2010 Rev. 8.1 :

  • Engine scanner baru (SmadEngine.dll) untuk mendeteksi virus lebih cepat dan akurat.
  • External Database (Smadav.loov) untuk memudahkan update database untuk Revisi berikutnya.
  • Plug-in klik kanan di explorer terbaru (SmadExtc.dll) yang lebih baik.
  • Kompatibel di Windows Vista & 7.
  • Pendeteksian beberapa Virus Internasional yang banyak menyebar di Indonesia (Sality & Alman) sudah lebih cepat dan akurat.
  • Penambahan database lebih dari 100 virus baru beserta varian-variannya
  • Perbaikan false alarm pada beberapa file.
  • Penyempurnaan metode blacklist key ilegal Smadav Pro
  • Perubahan struktur tim Smadav untuk tahun 2010
  • Penambahan menu uninstall di Tray Icon untuk memudahkan proses uninstall
  • Dan banyak penyempurnaan lainnya …

can i dream with You?

In life, there are many things that we share in common; dreams are one (and nightmares are another, but let’s not go there today). We tend to associate positivity to dreams (e.g. daydreaming always seems light and fluffy, after all it can’t be scary building sandcastles in the sky, right?); and we tie in negative connotations to nightmares. There are, however, dreams that well, are just neutral.

Like most of you, I can’t quite recall the majority of my dreams. I do recall a few particular (bizarre) ones, such as:

  1. It was 1994 and the first World Cup I watched. Brazil won Italy on penalties and it was Italy’s maestro Roberto Baggio who missed that decisive last kick. I was Signore Baggio and I remember placing the football on the penalty spot. The millions of spectators in the stadium were rapturous in their chanting of “JOEY! JOEY!” (Yes, indulge me, please). Very non-chalently, I silenced all of them with a wave of my hand and I knelt down to gather a handful of grass. (This is when it gets crazy…) I put one blade of grass into my mouth… And I shouted, “MEE GORENG!!!” (!!!) This catapulted everyone into delirium and they began their choruses of “MEE GORENG! MEE GORENG!” I went on to score of course, not that it mattered anymore. Crazy, I know.
  2. A part of my childhood was spent in the messy precinct of Jalan Besar and that was when I was really into Taoism – deities, ghosts, spirits, souls blah blah blah. It was also the time that I was really into Ghostbusters… (Yes, the TV/movie series with Marshmallow Man.) I recall being able to fly and manoeuvre around the estate on some cool skateboard machine. My main task each evening was to heroically exterminate the spooky beings in the (there’s-something-strange-in-the-)neighbourhood. I did that with ease and a dash of suave of course, shooting out from my bazooka green, acidic, slimy blobs of I-don’t-know-what and sucking the vermin into an ashtray-shaped ghost containment unit. As with all crazy dreams, before the mission was over, I ended up RECRUITING these ghosts instead. There is no sense in this, of course.
  3. When I am stressed, I almost always end up dreaming about looking for a needle in a haystack. (Cliche, but that’s the most normal bizarre dream…)
  4. And when I am very stressed, I dream about eating a piece of cake that grows bigger and bigger with each mouthful, and this stupid piece of cake (I remember it to be a strawberry shortcake) grows to the size of a HDB flat! It gets really insane because I’m supposed to finish eating a piece of cake that doesn’t quite finish!

These are the four dreams that come to my mind all the time, but I think if I had the time, I’d be able to pen down a few more ridiculous ones. Does anyone have crazy (or crazier) or recurring dreams like that? Do share!

On a more serious note, I actually am of the opinion that creativity takes place in the purest form in dreams. It’s as if each night we go to sleep with a white canvas, beckoning God to paint on it. Think about it, there are absolutely no limits in dreams; I can be anyone, doing anything, at anywhere I desire, at anytime I determine and with or without anyone. To an extent, it is when we actually get to experience what CREATING is like. (With God as the supreme Creator, I opine that human beings have absolutely no creativity. We are only able to innovate because everything that we “create” is but a reference from something else that already exists. More on that in another entry…)

Hence with dreams potentially serving as such powerful platforms, I’m inclined to do what I wanted to do some time ago – put a small notebook beside my pillow and to jot down, in whatever semi-conscious state I am in in the immediate aftermath of any dream. This is as good as getting free downloads from the Creator of the universe. Sounds lunatic, but dreaming actually taps into the creative power of God. (I say that very loosely and irresponsibly, of course.)

The more I think about it, the more I am convinced that new songs and poems can be written and inspired by dreams. Dreaming is the playground for divine revelation and forward thinking. Our (finite) imagination is the platform for infinite possibilities. Holy smoke, I don’t even know how those statements came about. I believe that dreaming (whether day or night) transports us to places that our human eyes cannot see and our cognition cannot handle. We should not underestimate what (the work of God in) our minds are capable of accomplishing.

Of late, I keep dreaming of one particular action but in different scenes; I dream that I’m running against the wind – be it in football matches, away from crooks, chasing buses or even just regular jogging. Wind (or resistance), be it external or internal, is the immediate obstacle that is common to all, that all of us must overcome. I have mine and you have yours, in varying intensities. It’s always easier to cycle downhill or swim with the current; but it is running against resistance that train muscles and going against opposition that confidence is built up. These song lyrics sum up perfectly my sentiment:

逆风的方向,更适合飞翔;我不怕千万人阻挡,只怕自己投降。(From 五月天’s 《倔强》)

(Translated: Traveling against the wind is the best way to take flight; I’m not afraid of the opposition of a million people, I only fear my own surrender.)

I haven’t the faintest clue how this article evolved into this ending but I’m glad it did anyway; I just kept typing. In a sense, I put into practice what Finding Forrester advocates:

“You must write your first draft with your heart. You rewrite with your head. The first key to writing is… to write, not to think!”

Spoken like a classic Sanguine, without first dreaming, we are never going to get anywhere. Dreaming without action may be useless and a complete waste of resources but without dreaming we have no solid action to execute at all! Let’s engage God in our dreams. Can I dream with You?

Official cover for Toni Braxton's new album "Pulse"

We woke up this morning to receive the glorious artwork of Toni Braxton’s new album Pulse in our inbox. We loved every bit of it. Although the two other covers that surfaced were also sexy, we love this one. Search for them in the Loft’s search engine. But, this is ethereal, timeless and pretty. We are glad Toni Braxton is back to titillate. Let’s hope there are more great songs on this album apart from what has leaked. “Make My Heart” is stomper!

No Description Available.

Genre: Tropical

Rating:

Release Date: 19-MAY-2009

"Ciclos" is the latest recording of Luis Enrique, and I think it is a serious candidate for the best work of Luis Enrique yet. "El Principe de la Salsa" (Salsa Prince) offers an album with a mix of romantic songs with songs that bring a positive message. On the technical side, the recording time is music fresh, exciting and different ways, the excellent sound quality, and the voice of Luis Enrique and delivery is as good as ever. Is no surprise that "Ciclos" was just nominated fora Latin Grammy for best album.

One risk of keeping my notepad online is the eventual disappearance of WordPress.com. Backing up my ‘blog is of utmost importance. WordPress has a built-in export function, which I do use, but it is most useful for reloading the ‘blog into a WordPress-driven site. I also wanted a way to create a local copy of my notepad for local browsing and for quick upload to a non-WordPress site if the need arose. Enter, wget.

Wget is one very useful tool. In a nutshell, it gets files, even entire sites, from the Web. I did a quick search and found this posting that provides a recommended set of command line options. I removed the -w and -H parameters and limited the -D parameter to my ‘blog only. Also, I used the shorter flags for brevity (e.g. -m for –mirror, -k for –convert-links, etc.).

wget -m -p –E -k -Dbrandonsnotepad.wordpress.com -P ~/var/tmp/Notepad http://brandonsnotepad.wordpress.com

Now I can keep a local copy or even burn it to for use on other machines.

Like everything in my life, I was late to the Drake game too. Figures. Here’s his new single, just released yesterday. I was having trouble figuring out if the Wayne was on the start of the track or not. I guess that’s what you get when Weezy’s your company.

An Hero: Joel Tenenbaum

Since coming to BU I have been fortunate to hear some pretty remarkable people speak: from Elie Wiesel to John Krasinski, from Noam Chomsky to Michael Cera, not to mention many distinguishes guest-lecturers and professors. However, the talk/lecture/Q&A I just returned from may have been my favorite. Who was the star? This guy:

Joel Tenenbaum

It is no surprise that you may not know who Joel Tenenbaum is, so I will explain. The explosion of the Internet in the 1990s gave a generation of tech-savvy teenagers unprecedented access to free and open music, movies, and software. File sharing, which rose to prominence with Peer2Peer (P2P) clients such as Napster, Kazaa, and Grokster, seemed to be part of the natural evolution of the Internet, and most importantly, everyone did it. People rightfully recognize the moral distinction between stealing a CD from a store and from clicking a button to download a song for free; in one case, a physical item is removed so that another consumer cannot purchase it, whereas in the other, a file is copied and distributed. The Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), however, felt differently. Since the late nineties, this corporate giant has brought some 40,000 civil suites against their OWN CUSTOMERS who participated in online file-sharing. Most settled before going to trial, awarding the RIAA whopping sums in the thousands for downloading songs for free. Joel Tenenbaum is one of very few (only three exist that I know of) former copyright-infringing file-sharers to go to trial rather than succumb to the bullying of a multi-billion dollar industry group. That trial, which ended a few months ago, left Joel with an outrageous, in my opinion unconstitutional, fine of $675,000.

Essentially, Joel Tenenbaum is one of three people to stand up for our persecuted, prosecuted generation and our non-violent, non-criminal non-crimes.

I shared this sentiment with Joel today when I had the pleasure of meeting him following an introduction, a short lecture from him, and a Q&A with his Harvard lawyer Charles Nesson at the BU School of Law. Joel, a BU graduate student, was taken aback and insisted that he is no hero, just a normal student who studies across the river. But I insisted, letting him know how important his refusal to be bullied means to our generation. It was fucking awesome.

Joey and Chuck.

Equally awesome was the Q&A with famed Harvard Law Professor Charles Nesson. I will be completely honest: I knew I was going to be blogging about this event, but I assumed that within my  blog I would attribute Joel’s botched trial to Mr. Nesson’s age and unfamiliarity with technology. I want to apologize for my obvious ageism because, honestly, despite his 71 years, Mr. Nesson is a shrewdly intelligent man with an acute awareness of the technological world, its history, and the culture surrounding it. I won’t try to summarize his extremely effective question and answer session, but I would like to provide a couple bullet points from it which just highlight the circumstances surrounding the trial and demonstrate what a raw deal Joel got:

  • Fair use argument: It was originally Nesson’s plan to present an interesting variation of the fair use argument. Essentially what he intended to argue was that, at the time, the RIAA was putting out CDs with no digital rights management (DRM) and effectively provided the raw, unprotected files that formed the basis for P2P which allowed them to be uploaded to the Internet and shared with peers to begin with. Furthermore, at the time, there was no comparable product to the free instantly-accessible online music people downloaded via P2P. Enter iTunes. iTunes, when it was first launched, charged $0.99 per DRM protected song. What DRM on a file essentially means is that a file cannot be used anywhere except for on iTunes and on an iPod, in this case. Nesson argues that this is an inferior good; why would someone pay for an inferior good when they can get a superior good, an open file, for free? Good argument. I am not sure if all of that fell under his fair-use plan, however, I will share that we learned that it wasn’t until something like 1:42 am the morning before the trial that the judge informed the legal team that she would not hear a fair-use defense. Wow.
  • The whole-sale price for a song, as claimed by Nesson, is $0.70. Therefore, he calculates, at most, Joel should be responsible for $21.00 in damages for the 30 songs he is accused of downloading. Nope. He is expected to pay $675,000.
  • No jurors who had admittedly downloaded a song via a P2P client were allowed to serve on the jury. The youngest juror was 35 years old. Essentially, then, the jury was picked from a generation of people who don’t really understand what it means to illegally download a song via such a client; a generation of people whose knowledge of the Internet in general is quite cursory.
  • The jury was told to name a penalty as much as $150,000 per song. As Nesson explained, this number was established back in the day when, for instance, the controversy with Vanilla Ice and his song “Ice Ice Baby” was happening. Such enormous fines were never meant to end up being handed down to kids like Joel. So, the jury actually thought they were being lenient by charging Joel with $22,500 per song, for a total of $675,000.
  • Finally I’ll mention, as Nesson did, that Joel is a BU graduate student. He doesn’t have $675,000. It’s an unimaginable amount of money to expect him to pay, and frankly, no one expects him to. He is being made an example of. If they can’t get a new trial or get the penalty reduced, he’ll simply file for bankruptcy and injure his financial future.

Professor Nesson had a lot more to say, but I want to get to what I want to say. Frankly, the music industry as it is currently set up, is unsustainable. The Internet makes it so incredibly easy to access content like music for free that there is little to no incentive to continue purchasing it. Of course, many people, myself included, like to have a physical CD or vinyl in hand as a kind of keepsake, and that is all well and good. However, in most cases now, music will be accessed for free or for a small fee via the Internet. And I honestly think that is the way it should be. Yes, people should be paid for their work, but, in most cases, their fortunes don’t come from CD sales. Most of that money either goes to the recording company and, in some cases, Apple, when the songs are sold through iTunes. Musicians make most of their money from touring and merchandise. So what I am saying is cut out the middleman. Abolish the RIAA. Downsize the recording industry. Put the control and responsibility of art back in the hands of the artist. Additionally I will say that if our generation’s habit of downloading music makes musicians lives less glamorous lives, good. No one should feel bad about pilfering dimes at a time from the pockets of the world’s super-rich super stars. Support artists, yes, but honestly, look at their lives compared to the lives of their customers. Should there really be that divide, especially when so many of them are so talentless? I don’t think so.

At any rate, thank you Joel, and I am sorry that you are being held responsible for the behavior of an entire generation.

[SHHHT_06] EXAMINE

The Croatia based producer Examine and the Silenced collective have crossed paths more than once. This time he contributed three well-elaborated tracks to cover the holy number six. Examine’s meticulous way of producing makes this EP nice home listening material, but this would definitely work in a more dancefloor oriented environment as well. Sit back while dubby chords and twitching microtextures fill your room and make you say ‘thanks Silenced’ once again.

Examine – be square

Examine – organism

Examine – something for the weak ones

Extensible Widgets 0.9.2.1

Author: Jim Isaacs

In addition to adding numerous extremely useful widgets for developers and users alike, this plugin is a system written on a PHP 5 object oriented structure. In short, it is built for modification and extension. It wraps the WordPress Widget API to allow for an alternative, and in my opinion more robust method to hook into and use it. Widgets are WordPress’s version of user interface modules. They already support an administrative and client-side view. This system simply leverages that with a higher potential in mind

Installation:

Upload the extensible-widgets directory to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory

Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress

Go to the ‘Extensible Widgets’ administration page to configure settings and to register desired widgets

faq:

Why PHP 5?

This is what the codebase is written for, it is not going to change. Sorry, welcome to the future.

What exactly is an extensible widget’?

It is a PHP widget class built within the parameters of the ‘Extensible Widgets’ framework for widgets. Any extensible widget can be extended, but retain the functionality of all the parent classes that it may extend. ‘Extensible Widgets’ also provides administration to allow for users to control this functionality within the UI of that widget.

What is widget registration?

The term ‘registered widget’ is not necessarily what is added to your widgetized areas. Instead this is like the blue-print for those instances. When you register a widget, what you are doing is allowing for instances of that widget to be created and added to your areas from that registered blue-print. Beware! When you unregister a widget, all instances that were added across all widgetized areas automatically disappear. You can get them back, but I don’t suggest unregistering something unless you are really sure you want to.

Do the widgets depend on each other, do I need to activate one with another?

Yes, and no. They do depend on each other, but this is on the PHP side of things, and in no way important to the registration of the widgets in the administration pages. Basically you can register the ‘Widget Group’ widget, without having to register the ‘Widget Base’ widget, or any other of it’s PHP dependencies.

Is ‘Extensible Widgets’ right for me?

Honestly this is a pretty advanced plugin that I would say is mostly for developers. Though I am trying to make it easier for developers to control the capabilities of the widget included with ‘Extensible Widgets’ to make it less developer centric on a per user basis (role/capability level).

Is ‘Extensible Widgets’ right for my site?

Numerous times I need a way to put the same content in different places around my site. This content is usually represented as posts, pages, or basically anything. I developed this plugin as the answer to this problem, using the already built WordPress Widgets framework. Widgets made sense to use because of their very nature. If you are looking to answer a lot of these same problems I was having, then this plugin will serve you well.

What about the data?

Once you start using this plugin, you will notice that widgets will become a major part in the whole of your website. Because of this fact, I included Import/Export functionality for the settings of ‘Extensible Widgets’, and all of your widget data from WordPress itself.

ACT 5 – Scene Observations – Language/Music

Scene 1:

Conceptual Effects: The diction employed in Lady Macbeth’s speech is dark and tormented, as she mentions blood and fear. There is a lack of figurative language in Lady Macbeth’s speech. Her statements are simple, as she cannot speak in verse, much less to form figurative language

Musical Effects: Lady Macbeth’s speech stands out in this scene as the most important, and it is notable that her speech is in prose, which is reminiscent of the porter’s speech, when he was drunk. This conveys to us that Lady Macbeth has been affected in the mind as well, as she is walking in her sleep. In her last lines, Lady Macbeth says ‘come, come, come, come…’ and repeats the phrase ‘to bed’ multiple times, this adds to the strangeness of Lady Macbeth’s speech.

Scene 2:

Conceptual Effects: Menteith and Caithness mentions ‘anger’, as well as ‘madness’ in reference to Macbeth. This clearly shows their revulsion at Macbeth’s actions. In terms of figurative language, Lennox states “Or so much as it needs, To dew the sovereign flower and drown the weeds.” Referring to the amount of blood that has to be spilled, where the sovereign flower is Malcolm, and the weeds being Macbeth. This is also an example of the use of nature imagery once again. The distribution of lines in this scene is even creating a serious discussion between these nobles.

Musical Effects: The nobles are speaking in normal verse. Lennox, being the last speaker in the scene ends with a rhyme: “Or so much as it needs, To dew the sovereign flower and drown the weeds.” Which has been fairly consistent in the play.

Scene 3:

Conceptual Effects: In this scene, Macbeth speaks the most. His speech consists of demands, and insults. This is especially surprising, as even though Macbeth had not always kept his composure, his most common reaction was fear, not anger. This may reveal increasing desperation of his situation, even though Macbeth claims otherwise. He calls the servant ‘villain’, ‘lily-livered boy’, ‘patch’ and ‘whey-face’ all of which would be considered insulting in the context of the play. In terms of figurative language, Macbeth states: “My way of life Is fall’n into the sere, the yellow leaf…” meaning the yellowing leaves of autumn. in this case, Macbeth compares his age to the aging of nature, once again.

Musical Effects: There are many breaks in Macbeth’s lines, as he is addressing two people, the doctor and Seyton. This creates language which seems rushed and hectic, as Macbeth is not addressing each of the individually, but in the same line (49-59). As per usual, the scene ends in a rhyming couplet spoken by the doctor “Were I from Dunsinane away and clear, Profit again should hardly draw me here.”

Scene 4:

Conceptual Effects: Malcolm takes on the role of leader in this scene, this is evident by the number of lines he has, and also the content, as he tries to inspire the soldiers with him. The scene is quite short, but from it, it seems Malcolm is more capable of inspiring, while Siward seems more realistic, as he knows this will end in violence (16-21).

Musical Effects: The final lines by Siward point towards the impending battle, and as it is the closing lines of the scene, they are spoken in rhyming couplet.

Scene 5:

Conceptual Effects: Macbeth’s remarks on the fear he no longer feels is backed by diction such as ‘fears’, ’dismal treatise’, ‘horrors’. He has become to accustomed and seemingly desensitized to fear, and he remains adamant that his castle will not fall to siege.

Musical Effects: In the closing lines spoken by Macbeth, they are almost all spoken in rhyme. The idea of equivocation is mentioned again in this speech, which is a continuation of what the porter had said. The way in which Macbeth speaks is noble, but what he speaks of is sorrowful and reckless. The repetition of ‘tomorrow’ (17-27) and the whole speech creates the feeling that Macbeth is growing weary of his life, as if tomorrow kept coming endlessly.

Scene 6:

Conceptual Effects: Malcolm speaks most in this scene, However, Macduff’s used of diction in the line “Those clamorous harbingers of blood and death.” Foreshadows the  destruction to come later

Musical Effects: There is no rhyming within Malcolm’s line, however, there is in Siward and Macduff’s lines. The lines are short however, and it is seems to indicate that the mood is serious as these men are preparing to march to battle

Scene 7:

Conceptual Effects: The dialogue between Macbeth and young Siward is short and heated, and they speak rudely to each other. In Macduff’s speech, he is the opposite of Macbeth, he is serious in demanding a confrontation with Macbeth.

Musical Effects: Immediately before and after his confrontation with Young Siward, Macbeth speaks in rhyme, and he states that he laughs at the weapons held by a woman born man. This seems to make Macbeth careless and reckless, as even in a time of a battle, he is speaking with flair.

Scene 8:

Conceptual Effects: A lot transpires over the course of this scene. In terms of language, diction pertaining to blood, death and weapons reoccur. This suggests the conclusion of his life is near, and he bravely fights Macduff. For the initial segment of the scene, Macbeth and Macduff both have prominent speaking roles, and then, they fight. The play ends with a speech by Malcolm, which in effect summarizes and concludes the reign of Macbeth. In the speech, Macbeth and Lady Macbeth are described as “…this dead butcher and his fiendlike queen,” and a sense of justice seems to be achieved in overthrowing them.

Musical Effects: The use of language becomes more positive after Macbeth is killed, The use of exclamation is not in shock or distress, but rather as celebration, and the final lines, as always end in rhyme.

Act Analysis:

Lady Macbeth:

Out, damn’d spot! out, I say!—One; two: why, then

’tis time to do’t.—Hell is murky.—Fie, my lord, fie, a soldier, and

afeard? What need we fear who knows it, when none can call our

pow’r to accompt?—Yet who would have thought the old man to

have had so much blood in him?

Macbeth:

To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,

Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,

To the last syllable of recorded time;

And all our yesterdays have lighted fools

The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!’

Life’s but a walking shadow, a poor player,

That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,

And then is heard no more. It is a tale

Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,

Signifying nothing.

These two speeches are similar, as they both signify the end of Lady Macbeth and Macbeth, but the presentation of the thoughts are very different. In Lady Macbeth’s speech, she is speaking in prose, and in disjointed segments, this is significant when she says ‘Hell is murky.’, as if she was interrupting herself also, these lines are not even in length, and have no rhyme or rhythm to them, the lines often continue with enjambment, and it is clear to the reader Lady Macbeth is not well.

This is not the case in Macbeth’s speech. In terms of language, he is clear in his expression of thoughts, and the speech has a somber and melancholy rhythm to it. Opposed to Lady Macbeth’s speech, it is written in verse. Additionally, Macbeth repeats the word ‘To-morrow’ to great effect, as it expresses his boredom with life, as it seems to keep dragging on and on. Lady Macbeth does not have the opportunity to express herself so clearly and with such artistry.

This contrast reveals the difference in Macbeth and Lady Macbeth’s character, and solidifies the roles they play which have since been reversed. At the beginning of the play, Macbeth was shocked by the murder of which he committed, but now, the person to pay for it is his wife, who has encouraged Macbeth to follow with his murder.
