This approach backs up regular data only by making a second copy in a second location, but will not back up applications or other system files. ![]() This is a good way to recover from major hardware failure, or reinstalling the operating system, without having to spend a lot of time also reinstalling programs, restoring emails and files, etc. This is a way of backing up a computer (files, applications, and system files) which allows storing the computer’s entire collection of available data, including operating system and program files, in a single file (an “Image”) which can later be used to restore the computer to exactly the way it was when the image was originally made. What is the difference between Imaging, File Backup, Archiving and Sync? 1 copy kept off-site or in a remote location.3 copies of the data including the original.The most commonly mentioned strategy is the 3-2-1 Backup, which states: ![]() To save your data, time, and money, it is vital to develop a backup strategy which keeps your data safe, and to choose hardware and software that fits with your strategy. Once costly and complex, backups are now inexpensive, simple to use, and depending on the solution, completely automated. Files can get corrupted and hardware can fail no matter how recently the files were created, or how new or reliable the computer. It is vital to always have a good backup solution in place. Important note – RAID is NOT considered a self-contained backup, but it can serve as one copy of the data. This is the best way to prevent data loss in case of drive failure. So, should you start running out of space on your internal drive and need to move data to external storage, always make sure that a second copy is made on any other media you might choose (another external hard drive, DVDs/Blu-rays, Cloud Backup, etc.) The type of backup is less important than simply having that second copy available. After creating this second copy of data, if you delete the original data on your computer, this means that there is no longer a backup of that data, only a single copy again. This means having important data in a second physical location, such as an external hard drive, DVDs/Blu-rays, local NAS, Cloud Backup, etc. The primary goal of a backup is to avoid data loss.

Roger Thomas is pastor of First Baptist Church in Ablemarle, N.C. If one liked “Changing Lanes,” one should definitely see the much more tragic “House of Sand and Fog.” Together, when both are available for home viewing, these two fine films will make a fantastic double feature on the inability to empathize-and the sometimes hazardous results of this inability. If one has never seen “Changing Lanes,” but enjoys “House of Sand and Fog,” one should rent the former. Instead, the audience sees true consequences to unrighteous choices. Had the film ended the way she wished, the implication would be that all the immoral choices and tragedy that followed were meaningless. I could not have disagreed more with her assessment. There are no easy answers at the end of “House of Sand and Fog.” As I exited the theater, I overheard one viewer comment to another that the film should have ended differently. There is a glimmer of hope for these characters at that moment, but there is also the unease that this hope may be fleeting. As Kathy and Behrani each choose to escalate the situation, it becomes harder for goodness to prevail.Īt one moment in the film, one of the two main characters makes a choice based on personal religious faith. Sin, by its nature, expands and complicates life. The other lesson concerns the escalation of unrighteous choices. In this fast-paced world where material success and possessions mean almost everything, it is easy to let one’s selfish desires mute the needs of another. First, the film is a commentary on contemporary American society where people have lost the ability to listen and care. ![]() “House of Sand and Fog,” as with “Changing Lanes” before it, has at least two prominent lessons. All three of these performances elevate the engrossing screenplay based on the novel by Andre Dubus III. Shohreh Aghdashloo has also created a great deal of buzz about her performance as Behrani’s wife who struggles with her loyalty to family as the conflict intensifies. Connelly and Kingsley both deliver Oscar-caliber performances and may soon receive nominations. “House of Sand and Fog” boasts three of the finest performances of this past year. These are normal people making bad choices and refusing to consider that the good and righteous choice lies beyond their wishes. ![]() ![]() These are not evil people doing evil things.

Academy Award winner Jennifer Connelly plays Kathy, a lonely woman who loses her parents’ home because of a government mistake concerning the property taxes. “House of Sand and Fog” is also a movie about two flawed and struggling individuals who are thrust into a battle of wills without ever sharing a rational conversation. Almost two years ago a film was released entitled “Changing Lanes.” It told the story of two imperfect men who end up entwining one another in a series of vengeful reactions-because of a fender-bender. ![]() The other new weapons can harm ghosts at all times. The Skull Staff only harms ghost monsters when un-tomed, while the Jade Wand only harms ghosts when tomed. When tomed the staff fires a trio of spikes that travel along the ground, consuming 5 charges per shot. It normally fires purple projectiles that consume 1 charge per shot, in a similar manner to the Hellstaff. Skull Staff - a variant of the Hellstaff that occupies slot 8 and uses "skullstaff charges" as ammo.It normally fires rapid-fire projectiles when tomed, it instead unleashes a wraith that rips through enemies until it expires (similar to the wraiths summoned by Hexen's Wraithverge) and consumes 10 ammo at a time. Blood Scepter - a weapon that shares slot 5 with the Hellstaff and uses the same ammo as that weapon.It normally fires rapid ice shots when tomed it instead fires a single powerful ice blast which consumes 8 ammo. Frost Fang - a wand-like item that shares slot 4 with the Dragon Claw and uses the same ammo as that weapon.It normally fires a single projectile that rips through enemies but is affected by gravity when tomed, each shot will be five blasts that behave like hitscans. Jade Wand - this weapon shares slot 3 with the Ethereal Crossbow and uses the same ammo as that weapon.It normally fires a spread of small projectiles similar to a shotgun when using a Tome of Power, the number of projectiles fired is increased. Wand of Embers - a weapon that shares slot 2 with the Elven Wand but uses its own "ember ammo".Masters of Chaos adds a number of new weapons, monsters and decorations via a DECORATE lump, many of which are taken from Realm 667. Corvus must destroy all three crystals to weaken Voltrog and put a stop to his plans. Voltrog is a former Serpent Rider who betrayed his fellow riders and is using three "chaos crystals" to drain the planet's life energy. The DSDA-Doom icon was designed by Mal (129thVisplane).Five years after the events of Heretic, Corvus lives a normal life in his home town, until he learns of a dangerous new enemy called Voltrog, also known as the "Master of Chaos".Dehacked support for heretic isn't implemented yet.Some of the more advanced features are not implemented for heretic yet, and using them may cause crashes or other odd behaviour.Automap colors are not configurable for heretic.The "Apply multisampling" automap option is disabled for heretic.Setting the "Status Bar and Menu Appearance" option to "not adjusted" will have no effect for heretic (it will default instead to "Doom format").It is implicitly set to 0, since heretic is based on doom v1.2.

From the nature of AMD’s comments about the part, it sounds like whatever it is, we should expect to find out more architectural details about it soon.īut perhaps the biggest part of today’s reveal is the interconnect. On the whole, these broad specifications are very close to the GPU slated to be used in Frontier, so El Capitan may very well be using the same GPU, or at least a further derivative of it. For now, what they are saying is that these GPUs will be using next-generation HBM for their memory, and that they’ll bring support for mixed precision compute for improved deep learning performance. While the companies are confirming that this will use a next-generation AMD GPU using a new architecture, they aren’t naming the architecture or offering too much in the way of details about it. Meanwhile on the GPU side of matters, AMD and Cray are continuing to hold their cards rather close. Notably, this is a greater level of detail on the CPU than we currently have for Frontier, which is using an unspecified and customized next-generation EPYC CPU. ![]() As it’s still two generations out from AMD’s current wares, the amount of information on Zen 4/Genoa is limited, but AMD is promising support for next-generation memory, Infinity Fabric 3, as well as broad promises of both single and multi-threaded performance leadership. On the CPU side of matters, AMD will be supplying a standard version of their Zen 4-based “Genoa” EPYC processor. However in an interesting turn of events, LLNL is being just a bit more forthcoming about what specific hardware will be in their new supercomputer. With Cray serving as the prime contractor on both systems, El Capitan and Frontier are Cray Shasta systems, employing AMD’s processors along with Cray’s cabinets and their Slingshot interconnect technology. And indeed, at a high level El Capitan looks a whole lot like Frontier from a hardware perspective. US Department of Energy Exascale SupercomputersĮl Capitan is the second exascale supercomputer win for AMD, who is also providing the CPUs and GPUs behind the 1.5 exaflops Frontier system for Oak Ridge National Laboratory. LLNL will be using it primary for nuclear weapons modeling – substituting for actual weapon testing – while the system will also see secondary use as a research system in other fields, particularly those where machine learning can be applied. All told, El Capitan will be 16 times more powerful than the system it replaces. LLNL will be using the system to replace Sierra, their current IBM Power 9 + NVIDIA Volta supercomputer. Like the similar Frontier system, El Capitan comes with a $600 million price tag and is intended to ensure the US’s leadership in supercomputers in the exascale era. ![]() Overall, El Capitan is the second ( and apparently final) system being built as part of the US DOE’s CORAL-2 program for supercomputers. However thanks to some late configuration changes, the DOE now expects the system to reach 2 exaflops once it’s fully installed, which would cement its place at the top of the US’s supercomputer inventory. ![]() Already expected to be the fastest of the US’s exascale systems, El Capitan was originally commissioned as a 1.5 exaflop system seven months ago. This afternoon the DOE and HPE are announcing the architectural details of the supercomputer, revealing that AMD will be providing both the CPUs and accelerators (GPUs), as well as revising the performance estimate for the supercomputer. At the time the system was announced, The DOE and LLNL confirmed that they would be buying a Shasta system from Cray (now part of HPE), however the announcement at the time didn’t go into any detail about what hardware would actually be filling one of Cray’s very flexible supercomputers.īut as of today, the wait is over. Scheduled to be installed in Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) in early 2023, the system is intended primarily (but not exclusively) for use by the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA), who uses supercomputers in their ongoing nuclear weapons modeling. Back in August, the United States Department of Energy and Cray announced plans for a third United States exascale supercomputer, El Capitan. ![]() Initial D - 17 - Sudden-Death Death Match.mkv (2.8 GiB).Initial D - 16 - The Angel Of Usui Pass.mkv (2.8 GiB). ![]() Initial D - 15 - Angry Takumi's Maniacal Drive!.mkv (2.8 GiB).Initial D - 14 - The Evolving Drift Genius!.mkv (2.8 GiB).Initial D - 13 - Itsuki's First Date.mkv (2.8 GiB).Initial D - 12 - The FR Killing Deathmatch!.mkv (2.8 GiB).Initial D - 11 - The Dangerous Shingo Appears!.mkv (2.8 GiB).Initial D - 10 - Explosion!

The Coalition of Hindus of North America is one of several faith groups leading the effort to differentiate the swastika from the hakenkreuz. Nakagaki believes more dialogue is needed even though it will be uncomfortable. newspapers until the early 1930s, when the word swastika replaced it. Nakagaki’s research also shows the symbol was called the hakenkreuz in U.S. In his 2018 book titled “The Buddhist Swastika and Hitler’s Cross: Rescuing a Symbol of Peace from the Forces of Hate,” Nakagaki posits that Hitler referred to the symbol as the hooked cross or hakenkreuz. “You cannot call it a symbol of evil or (deny) other facts that have existed for hundreds of years, just because of Hitler,” he said. The New York-based Buddhist priest, who was ordained in the 750-year-old Jodoshinshu tradition of Japanese Buddhism, says when he hears the word “swastika” or “manji,” he thinks of a Buddhist temple because that is what it represents in Japan where he grew up. Nakagaki said he was shocked when he first heard the swastika referred to as a “universal symbol of evil” at an interfaith conference. The Boy Scouts handed out badges with the symbol until 1940. Carlsberg beer bottles came etched with swastikas. In North America, in the early 20th century, swastikas made their way into ceramic tiles, architectural features, military insignia, team logos, government buildings and marketing campaigns. Historians believe it is this notion that made the symbol appealing to nationalist groups in Germany including the Nazi Party, which adopted it in 1920. The symbol was revived during the 19th century excavations in the ancient city of Troy by German archaeologist Heinrich Schliemann, who connected it to a shared Aryan culture across Europe and Asia. ![]() New York-based Steven Heller, a design historian and author of “Swastika: Symbol Beyond Redemption?”, said the swastika is “a charged symbol for so many whose loved ones were criminally and brutally murdered.” Heller’s great-grandfather perished during the Holocaust. “I recognize the swastika as a symbol of hate.” “The swastika was a representation of the concept that stood for the annihilation of an entire people.”įor her grandparents and the elderly survivors she serves, Wernick said, the symbol is the physical representation of the horrors they experienced. “One of the hallmarks of trauma is that it shatters a person’s sense of safety,” said Wernick, whose grandparents met at a displaced persons’ camp in Austria after World War II. Holocaust survivors in particular could be re-traumatized when they see the symbol, said Shelley Rood Wernick, managing director of the Jewish Federations of North America’s Center on Holocaust Survivor Care. Yet to others, the idea that the swastika could be redeemed is unthinkable. These minority faith communities are being joined by Native American elders whose ancestors have long used the symbol as part of healing rituals.ĭeo believes she and people of other faiths should not have to sacrifice or apologize for a sacred symbol simply because it is often conflated with its tainted version. Over the past decade, as the Asian diaspora has grown in North America, the call to reclaim the swastika as a sacred symbol has become louder. White supremacists, neo-Nazi groups and vandals have continued to use Hitler’s symbol to stoke fear and hate. The equilateral cross with its legs bent at right angles is a millennia-old sacred symbol in Hinduism, Buddhism and Jainism that represents peace and good fortune, and was also used widely by Indigenous people worldwide in a similar vein.īut in the West, this symbol is often equated to Adolf Hitler’s hakenkreuz or the hooked cross – a symbol of hate that evokes the trauma of the Holocaust and the horrors of Nazi Germany. “My decoration said ‘Happy Diwali’ and had a swastika on it,” said Deo, a physician, who was celebrating the Hindu festival of lights. Sheetal Deo was shocked when she got a letter from her Queens apartment building’s co-op board calling her Diwali decoration “offensive” and demanding she take it down. ![]() Hammerfell also features the large Alik’r Desert, which isn’t shown in the video, though this doesn’t remove Hammerfell from the running. ![]() Two neighboring provinces, both described as having mountainous terrain. So, we have High Rock and Hammerfell left. It’s possible that either the MMO isn’t necessarily an accurate guide, or Bethesda may just decide to go against established lore again like they did with their depiction of Cyrodil in Oblivion. The Cyrodiil shown in ESO isn't the jungle it has previously been described to have been during that period. Again, not what we see in the teaser, but keep in mind that Bethesda isn’t averse to retconning. ESO depicts Summerset Isle as a lush, fertile land, full of vegetation. Summerset Isle is the focus of the latest expansion for The Elder Scrolls Online. There’s no hint of any of those in the mountainous and seemingly coastal area of the teaser. Elsweyr is a massive desert, Valenwood is a massive forest, and Black Marsh is a massive swampland. ![]() In-game lore descriptions of Elsweyr, Valenwood, and Black Marsh don’t match what’s shown in the teaser whatsoever. The terrain in the trailer features none of the odd flora or ashy skies of Vvardenfell, Solstheim, or anywhere else shown in depictions of Morrowind. Morrowind is the setting of three recent entries in the series: The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind, The Elder Scrolls Online: Morrowind, and an expansion to Skyrim. While next-generation hardware would make for a massive leap in visuals from the Xbox 360 and PS3 renditions of Cyrodiil, it’s unlikely that Bethesda would tread the same ground so soon when there are other areas that they haven’t yet properly explored. Cyrodiil can be knocked off for this same reason, having been featured in The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. It was the setting of the previous game, and no two mainline Elder Scrolls games have shared settings. It’s safe to assume that we can drop Skyrim right off the bat. These allow you to make further tweaks and make the effect more interesting. The normal controls, on the right side of the image, can be replaced with controls for special effects. For example, you can increase or decrease the size of the pixels and apply a basic blur. ![]() PixaTool lets you make the usual image adjustments, like changing the hue, saturation and light levels, increasing or decreasing the contrast, gamma, exposure and so on, but it is also possible to tweak the pixelation effect itself. The first thing you can do is choose between several pixelation modes, like 16-bit, or others that resemble graphics from the old Nintendo or Game Boy consoles. Images are pixelated automatically once they are imported, but you can use various sliders, to the left and right of the image, to make all sorts of manual adjustments. Images can be imported instantly, through a browsing option or by dragging and dropping the file on the user interface, after which you can start working on it right away. The same package includes versions for other operating systems as well, including Linux and Mac OS X. Its components come in a ZIP archive, so you can just extract them and run the executable, without going through an installation process. The software is free to try, with some limitations. It can pixelate images at a moment's notice and it gives you full control to customize the effect according to your own needs. If you want to use certain assets in such a game or you need some pixel art for other reasons, then PixaTool is the solution you need.
