![]() ![]() While you can employ the Piriform CCleaner utility to remove software. It's safe to say you'll never need to go back to the default option in Windows again. 2 Fragmented Hard Drive One of the most common causes of a slow computer is a. Plus, unlike just about every other program, it never asks you to download the full version. Even though there's a professional version of Defraggler that costs $30, this program isn't missing anything that could be worth that download. With an unmatched feature set and quick defragging, it's hard to recommend any other defragmenting program. You can use your computer however you want as it runs. With quick, boot, and low-priority defrag modes, it will never get in your way. Though the program can sometimes hang at zero percent for minutes on end, it actually moves faster than most defragmenting programs when it's working on your drive. ![]() That, in addition to detailed info about your hard drive's overall health, is delightful for power users while being useful for the average folks. When you're examining your drive, Defraggler gives you a clear, color-coded map. This increases their power as well as your computer's overall speed. Defraggler speeds up your computer by placing all the parts of a file on the same section of the hard drive. If one or two of your programs are struggling, you can specifically target them in the process during a quick defrag. Before I run the Defrag, I always Analyse. Defraggler is a quick, safe way to speed up your PC. One of the standout features Defraggler offers is that it can defrag files individually. With quicker performance, more features and detailed statistics, this defragmenter is the only one you need. Note: While running your Defraggler in Schedule mode, you won’t get notified while the software is defragging your device. Defraggler outdoes it in every way imaginable. Warning: The Optimization process for SSDs cannot be scheduled on Defraggler due to safety reasons, to prevent any possible damage to the SSD drive on your device. Windows defragger always says i dont need to defrag so i figured i would download defraggler to see what it said. ![]() However, the options in that program are limited. Windows defragger vs 3rd party defragger. It's why Windows now turns on its onboard defragmenter by default. Regardless of whether you use the built-in Windows defragmentation tool or another one, it's a good practice to run a defragment process on your disks regularly.Defragmenting your hard drive is a necessary part of owning a computer. The Defraggler product from Piriform is one of the better ones. To defragment a drive: In Defraggler, select the drive you want to defragment at the top of the window. There are freeware products that visually show you the fragmentation of your disk. Clearly, they don't need to be defragmented, but you can still analyze the level of fragmentation if you want to by clicking the Analyze Disk button (Windows 7) or the Analyze button (later versions of Windows).Īfter several minutes, the screen will be updated to show the level of fragmentation that exists, and if it's too fragmented to suit you (e.g., if it's more than, say, 20% fragmented), clicking the Defragment Disk button (Windows 7) or the Optimize button (later versions of Windows) will cause Windows to run the defragment process right away. This means every block of the fragmented files tend to be moved. In the example shown, my disks are 0% fragmented (no doubt thanks to the fact that they automatically get defragmented every Wednesday morning at 1:00). Defraggler Health Status: Warning Defraggler Health Status: Warning By iflytoohigh Jin Defraggler Share Followers 1 iflytoohigh Members 5 Posted JHello My PC of roughly five years is suddenly displaying 'Warning' in yellow beside the health status indicator in Defraggler. The worst case is if the disk is nearly full and theres quite a bit of fragmentation to fix. The Disk Defragmenter dialog box shows you what percentage of your hard drive is fragmented. Choose the option according to your version, and Windows displays the Disk Defragmenter dialog box (Windows 7) or the Optimize Drives dialog box (later versions of Windows). If you want to check to see if your disk should be defragmented, though, use the search capabilities of your version of Windows to search for "defrag." In the results you'll see either "Disk Defragmenter" (Windows 7) or "Defragment and Optimize Drives" (later versions of Windows). For this reason it's usually a good idea to have Windows automatically defragment your drive on a regular basis. Or, to run a quick defrag, click the down arrow on the Defrag button, and then click Quick Defrag. To run a standard defrag, click the Defrag button. You can also select multiple drives (using CTRL) which will be defragged in the order of drives. Disk fragmentation can adversely affect your system's performance. To defragment a drive: In Defraggler, select the drive you want to defragment at the top of the window. ![]() ![]() ![]() Armadillos are harvested for human consumption in many regions of the Americas (Abba & Superina, 2010). The present article provides an overview of ex situ conservation of xenarthrans, which will contribute to the development and implementation of additional strategies for protecting these unique mammals. Specifically, semen cryopreservation, which has already been applied in some species, may be the most effective strategy for this group. Therefore, cryopreservation of biological resources may be a promising strategy for conserving xenarthrans. In this context, cryobanks are a practical approach for breeding and maintaining genetic diversity in wildlife, and they are important tools for assisting and improving both ex situ and in situ conservation strategies. Nevertheless, dedicated research and efforts to ensure the long-term conservation of these animals are deemed essential. In addition, relatively few groups are researching this superorder, perhaps because fieldwork with armadillos, anteaters, or sloths and their captive care are challenging tasks. Moreover, the paucity of information on some species has rendered population estimation and, consequently, conservation management challenging. ![]() Unfortunately, most wild xenarthran populations are at risk, due primarily to anthropogenic activities, necessitating urgent conservation efforts. Considering their long history in the Americas, extant xenarthrans represent an important group for understanding the impact of past environmental changes on species diversification and serve key ecological functions as ecosystem engineers. Xenarthra-a superorder of placental mammals endemic to the Neotropics-is represented by armadillos, anteaters, and sloths. ![]() ![]() Harry - the grandson of Queen Elizabeth II and son of heir to the throne Prince Charles and the late Diana, princess of Wales - has separately brought cases against two other British tabloid publishers for alleged phone hacking. ![]() The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, who quit frontline royal duties in March citing media intrusion, have denied being involved in the publication of the book, "Finding Freedom". The news group also claims she wanted to use the hand-written letter "as part of a media strategy" and discussed it with royal communications officials before it was sent. Staff organising logistics for the historic occasion have. I follow up with Laineys gossip to get Meghans side and The Daily Mail to get. Buckingham Palace is making plans for Harry and Meghan (right) to attend the King's (left) Coronation, The Daily Mail can reveal. The High Court last year allowed the newspaper group to amend its defence against the claim, to allege the couple were willing to give journalists access to the letter when the circumstances suited them.Īssociated accuses Meghan of giving the authors Omid Scobie and Carolyn Durand details about the letter to portray her version of events in a more favourable light. Meghan Markle bristled at low royal status, her reporter friend and other royal experts say Meghan and Harry were constantly reminded there is a royal ‘hierarchy,’ while they felt they should. Royal Family News - Princess Charlene Will Visit With Her Children For. She claimed they had an "obvious agenda of publishing intrusive or offensive stories" which were "intended to portray her in a false and damaging light". Meghan alleges that reporters acted "dishonestly and in bad faith", and "deliberately dug up or stirred conflict" between her and her father. Warby ruled against the royal in a preliminary hearing last year, striking out elements of the claim. If she loses, then it will go to a full trial later this year, potentially forcing Meghan and her estranged father to face each other in court to give testimony. The Duchess of Sussex sued the newspaper for printing a. tabloid the Mail on Sunday in a judgement earlier on Wednesay. Not the Daily Mail per se Their readers saw through MeAgains disguise - and realised shes just a gold-digging ex-yacht-girl with a narcissistic streak a. If Warby rules in the duchess's favour, then the case is over, bar an appeal. Meghan Markle was officially handed victory in her lawsuit against U.K. Meghan Markle has been sued by her half-sister for allegedly making 'false' statements in the interview she and Prince Harry gave to Oprah Winfrey in 2021.

Later on, I ran across references to similar tests at other schools, with similar results. Roughly 90% of the people they asked this said that they'd want the faster code. They asked lots of users of the Fortran code whether they would prefer their programs to catch all arithmetic errors if this meant that the code ran slower, or if they would prefer faster code that sometimes didn't catch errors. The local gang didn't believe this, so they did a bit of a survey. The vendor said they did this because they had found that most customers preferred faster code. The compiler had an option to generate such tests, but it was off by default. The hardware gave interrupts for floating-point overflows, but for integers, it just set a flag bit, and you needed to test that flag to catch overflows. They found that fully half the runs produced at least some incorrect output due to undetected integer overflows. ![]() I remember back in the 1970s, when I was at a large university that shall remain unnamed, and a bunch of CS people did a detailed study of the Fortran that accounted for fully half the runs on the campus's central mainframe (which shall also remain unnamed). There is evidence that people aren't generally that intelligent. Well, I'd be a bit careful about making such general statements. ![]() There isn't anything wrong with preferring fast incorrect results over slow correct results, but most people probably want slow and correct to be the default if given the choice. Unfortunately for Both us and RH, we don't like to update either, and even when RH has proven an update solves the problem, it's hard to get the Admins to actually update the boxen. (Course that is more a dig on HP, Veritas, EMC and some other "Enterprise Software" companies.) In fact I have a hard time sometimes of getting our Admins to open tickes with the *right* vendor, because they'd rather open a ticket with RH, because it gets solved sooner. Sometimes it ends with: "This was fixed in 4.5 please update." Sometimes it ends with "This is a bug, and here is the HF, please update to the released version when it becomes available." We're still running AS4U4 in some places and RH has worked with us to track down bugs. We've had to run a modified GCC for a while and Red Hat, *again* didn't say "You've changed it, so support for you." What they *did* say was, "Can you reproduce this on *our* gcc?" Which again is better than We've gotten from some other vendors. Red Hat does *not* tell us: "Oh, I'm sorry you're not running the latest support pack, no support for you." I'm working at a very large Wall Street firm. I want Linux to succeed and prefer it over the popular alternative. ![]() Until the players selling support realize all of this, Linux will be a difficult sell for such key systems (and the PHBs all think ALL their systems are mission-critical). We have to wait and be sure the patch is stable and provides an improvement without risking our mission. We don't update needlessly, and we certainly don't update to 'today's' patch. More, they won't support a system that doesn't have the latest updates, which is a problem on mission-critical systems. As indicated here, change something to fix a bug, and you don't get support for that piece anymore. But they don't perform enterprise support. want to be enterprise systems, and claim to offer enterprise support. I have a friend who runs mega-million-dollar, mission-critical systems and they've had to move off of Linux in favor of (Sun? Don't remember right now). And this has been an ongoing issue with Linux adoption. ![]() ![]() In fact, the oldest prophecy uttered by a prophet was given before the flood of Noah and was of the Second Coming! It was given by Enoch, quoted in Jude 14-15. The Second Coming, on the other hand, was predicted in the Old Testament (Daniel 12:1-3 Zechariah 12:10 14:4). Paul speaks of the Rapture as a "mystery" (1 Corinthians 15:51-54), that is, a truth not revealed until its disclosure by the apostles (Colossians 1:26). The differences between the two events are harmonized naturally by the "pre-trib" position, while other views are not able to ac count comfortably for such differences. However, at Christ's Second Coming with His saints, He descends from heaven to set up His Messianic Kingdom on earth (Zechariah 14:4-5 Matthew 24:27-31). The Rapture is characterized in the New Testament as a "translation coming" (1 Corinthians 15:51- 52 1 Thessalonians 4:15-17) in which the Lord comes for His church, taking her to His Father's House (John 14:3). Those of us who cling to a very literal view of the Scriptures believe that the church will be removed prior to the tribulation period (the "pre-tribulation" view). As one insists on literalness, each of these views must embrace in creasing difficulties. In fact, they substantially contradict each other. These differing views are based upon different approaches, presuppositions, and argumentation. Dispensational post-tribulationism (Robert H.Futuristic post-tribulationism (George E. ![]() Semi-classic post-tribulation ism (Alexander Reese).There are at least four distinct types of post-tribulational views: 2 This is known as the "post-tribulation" view. There is also predicted an unparalleled "time of trouble" that Jesus called the "Great Tribulation." 1 Many hold to the view that the Rapture of the church will occur after that specific period of time, thus, closely associating it with the Second Coming. Yet there seems to be a number of indications that these are distinct and separate. There are many that still hold to the view that emerged in the Medieval church (Catholic and Protestant) that the "Second Coming" of Christ and the "Rapture" are somehow the same. In verse 17, the English phrase "caught up" translates the Greek word harpazo, which means "to seize upon with force" or "to snatch up." The Latin translators of the Bible used the word "rapturo," the root of the English term "Rapture." At the Rapture, living believers will be "caught up" in the air, translated into the clouds, in a moment in time to join the Lord in the air. The mysterious event known as the Rapture is most clearly represented in 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18, which encourages the grieving Christians that, at the "great snatch," they will be reunited with those who have died in Christ before them. Where does this view come from? Is the term "rapture" even in the Bible? ![]() ![]() We continue to receive many questions concerning the "Rapture of the Church" and its apparent contrast with the "Second Coming" of Jesus Christ. ![]() ![]() ![]() The Site’s content (programs, informative material of any kind, data, software, graphics, trademarks, brand names, logos etc.) is property of New York College or its respective owner, which is protected by the provisions of the Greek and EU legislation.Īny modification, publication, transmission, reproduction, distribution, presentation, linking, downloading, or otherwise exploiting, in whole or in part of the content of the Site in any way or means for commercial or other purposes, without the prior written permission of New York College or of the beneficiary concerned, is prohibited.ĭata security is challenging in the digital age.

It’s also a great way to break up the monotony of most of the solo being stepwise motion. He does this very strongly define the harmony of the tune. Red mixes in arpeggios of the chord in a very cool way. How To Practice: You could turn this into an exercise by grabbing your favorite approach pattern (say 2 chromatics below a note) and always playing the approach pattern before you hit that note.Ĥ. Measure 10 beat 2 he plays D, D# and then finally resolves to E which is the 3rd of the C chord. Measure 6 beat 3 he plays G, E and then finally resolves to F over the Fmin7 chord. Measure 4 beat 1 he plays F, F# and then finally resolves to G over the Gmin7(b5). He does this all over the solo but here are a couple specific examples. He keeps pushing his resolution forward using these approach patterns. So, that’s why Red’s very long first line (10 measures long) still sounds so interesting. When you hit a target note on a downbeat it often times makes the line stop moving. An approach pattern is series of chromatic notes that are either above,below, or circle a note of resolution. On many downbeats (meaning beats 1, 2, 3, or 4) Red uses approach patterns to extend his line. ![]() This is a fantastic way to practice improvisation by having target points.ģ. How To Practice: You could turn this into an exercise by improvising your own solo over a standard and making sure you hit the 3rd or 7th of every chord on the downbeat. The 3rd and 7th of a chord are essential chord tones and when you play them at the right time rhythmically it sounds really melodic and pleasing to the ear.įor example, Red hit’s either the 3rd or 7th on beat 1 or beat 3 in measures 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 20, 26, 27, 28. When I say voiceleading I am referring to how he mostly targets the 3rd and 7th of a chord on beat 1 or beat 3 of many measures. Red does this by primarily using melodic voiceleading and approach patterns.Ģ. This is a textbook study on how to extend your jazz lines and still make them sound interesting. The first 8 bars plus the break (first 2 measures) are all eighth notes with no rests. We will also talk about how to apply all these tools to your own music.

![]() ![]() All three playable characters – SpongeBob, Sandy, and Patrick – have the same repetitive line or two of dialogue they bleat out after finding collectibles, grabbing health, or hitting enemies. Every entrance to a new area is saddled with a few seconds of load time, even when going into a small building like Patrick or Squidward’s one-room homes (PlayStation 5, you can’t get here soon enough!). A remake should do its best to modernize and improve aspects that haven’t aged well, but Rehydrated rarely does that. But even though it’s called a remake, in every conceivable way it feels like a disappointing remaster, with its PS2-era hang-ups often getting in the way. There’s very little, in fact, aside from a few SpongeBob meme references here and there, that offer something new for returning players like myself.ģ3 Images It’s been years since I’ve watched SpongeBob, and the pleasantness of returning to Bikini Bottom for a few hours was occasionally fun. Its jokes and episode references remain kid-friendly and largely based on the earlier seasons of the show, leaving the majority of the series’ rich comedy deposits untapped. ![]() But in playing with beloved source material that has long outlived the original game’s era, Rehydrated is in a strange place. Sane Trilogy revamped it, while Spyro’s Reignited Trilogy became the fiery new standard for what I thought these remakes could do. F Is for Faded MemoriesPlaying a nostalgic platformer remake is something I’ve done quite a few times at IGN. Worse, it now comes with the added context of having been so thoroughly surpassed by almost two decades worth of amazing 3D platformers. But it’s largely the adventure around those mechanics which, while admittedly fun and enjoyable for how it took advantage of the SpongeBob license just a few years after its debut, remains as limited in its scope, design, and overall thoughtfulness so many years later as it did back on the original Xbox. Play To its credit, Rehydrated runs cleanly on PlayStation 4 Pro, its remastered soundtrack’s cheery tunes have earwormed their way into my mind, and the actual feel of running, jumping, and bubble-blowing as SpongeBob is precise and responsive. ![]() |
