The makers of elementary are experts in design, and their operating system makes sure that the user doesn’t get confused due to too many options. Unlike other distros, there are many interesting things about elementary. While we leave that for you to judge, what we can say is that Elementary OS is definitely one of the best distros for beginners. The creators of elementary OS call it a fast and open replacement for Windows and macOS. This visually stunning desktop is often listed as one of the most beautiful Linux distributions around, but it’s a lot more than that. Its Windows 10-styled desktop is great at making things easier for someone who has used Windows their entire life and wants to switch to Linux. With a Windows-like interface built with beginners in mind, Zorin OS is easily the best Linux distro for Windows users. Zorin OS calls itself Windows and macOS replacement, and while we leave that for you to decide, it comes loaded with everything that one needs to complete daily tasks. Apart from Linux Mint, Zorin OS is another major player focusing on user-friendliness and usability. While one can argue that Canonical has worked hard to develop Ubuntu and make it popular, many other operating system developers have dedicated themselves to creating one of the finest Ubuntu-based Linux distros for beginners.

Females lay eggs into the water by quickly flying low over the water’s surface and tapping their abdomens on the water. The dragonfly uses its legs, which form a basket, to catch insects while flying. The adults like to eat mosquitoes, gnats, mayflies, and other small flying insects. Generally the larvae eat aquatic insects, but large dragonflies have been known to eat small fish and tadpoles. The adult common sanddragon can be seen perching along the edges of sandy-bottomed rivers across Oklahoma and much of the eastern U.S.īoth the larvae and adults are carnivorous predators. The common sanddragon has widely spaced eyes, are 4-7 cm long, and, like all dragonflies, hold their paired wings flat out and to the sides of its body. However, some refer to these dragonflies as burrowing dragonflies because the larvae, which live underwater, burrow into the substrate. Page.This dragonfly is in the family of clubtail dragonflies, so called because of the end of its abdomen is enlarged and appears club-like. Males patrol areas of 40+ yards diameter over deep water from 9 am until dark.

Sora in turn regains his self and uses the Kingdom Key to summon light that opens doors to lead the others out of darkness, alluding to the events of Kingdom Hearts II and events to happen later in Kingdom Hearts III. The next scenes shows Kairi crying as she looks at the Paopu Fruit image of her and Sora in the Secret Place, her tears summoning a light that awakes Sora as he falls. ![]() Then we see Roxas, Axel, and Xion spending time together in Twilight Town, until the introduction of Xemnas leads to their separation, Xion's end, and Roxas and Axel clashing, as seen in Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days. Next we watch Sora, Riku, and Kairi on Destiny Islands and see recreated how the introduction of Ansem, Seeker of Darkness eventually led to the loss of their home, Riku becoming possessed, and Kairi and Sora being separated, as seen in Kingdom Hearts. "Opening" is book-ended by scenes of Sora in a strange expanse of clouds, commenting on Sora's previous resilience and foreshadowing his eventual loss of self.įirst shown is a depiction of the fall of the Land of Departure, Terra losing his body to Xehanort, Aqua being trapped in the darkness, and Ventus' conflict with Vanitas sending him into sleep, resulting in him settling in Sora's heart, as seen in Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep. Interspersed is footage of the board game being played and the boy controlling the black game pieces, hinting that the board game is a parallel retelling of events past and their orchestration by one person. Set against the symbolism of a chess-like board game, "Opening" artistically retells most of the events from the previous Kingdom Hearts games and hints at some of the events set to transpire in Kingdom Hearts III. Apart from one line of speech at its start and a moment of silence at its end, the scene plays over the theme song for the game, " Face My Fears".

The goal of the update was to prevent fraudulent news stories by encouraging more personal conversations, but the consequence is less exposure to brands and public content. Promoting a product like the Han Solo Star Wars movie is easy when your fans do all the work. Also, Facebook checks text against known advertisements and demotes unofficial ads.

Visual posts are ranked higher and text-only posts are ranked lower. Posts likely to start to a conversation are ranked higher. How many likes, comments and shares the post receives, factoring in time. This is important because it means posts from brands are demoted. Posts from people the user knows personally are ranked higher. The time spent actually looking at a post (not scrolling). Posts from accounts the user directly shares with others are ranked higher, and the person who receives the shared posts gets a rank boost on their own posts. Posts from accounts that users search for regularly are ranked higher. Posts from accounts that the user interacts with more frequently are ranked higher. Are the post’s genres relevant to the user? How many hearts and comments on each post. These are the factors that determine a single (non-advertisement) post’s rank. So what does Instagram’s algorithm do better for marketing? The actual algorithms are unknown trade secrets, but Alfred Lua of Buffer researched both the algorithms for Facebook and Instagram, and came up with some speculations that proved accurate when tested. Therein lies the difference between marketing on Facebook versus marketing on Instagram. But don’t pat these channels on the back for their altruism-the algorithm also gives them more control over their advertising ventures.Īs you can imagine, this isn’t an exact science, so each social media channel has to shoot in the dark a little when determining the right criteria on which to organize their feeds. So, social media channels use algorithms to give you a more fulfilling experience, where you see more posts you actually like, and less of the irrelevant ones from your weird aunt. ![]() The seeming randomness of your social media feed makes strange partnerships, like Garry Shandling and the Pope. Long gone are the days of chronological feeds where posts appear in the order they were published-and good riddance, frankly, considering this organization structure doesn’t scale well when you follow hundreds of accounts. Getting back to basics for a moment, the algorithm for a social media feed refers to the actual code that determines which posts are seen by which users, and in what order. Long story short, it’s not about your visibility per se, but more about your visibility with the right people. It’s all about their DNA, which for social media is another way to say, their algorithms. But first, let’s look at how a relatively smaller channel can make bigger waves. Later, we’ll explain how to shift your strategies to make the most out of marketing on both platforms. ![]() And for digital brands targeting younger (< 30 y.o.) groups, your marketing dollars might go further on Instagram, especially for visual industries like fashion, beauty, or even architecture.

Family Ītrus fathered Sirrus and Achenar on the Myst Island, seeking to teach them differently than his father did. Doing this, he banished his father to the dying Age, and he jumped in the Star Fissure, linking to Myst. Secretly, Catherine, together with Anna who had, without him knowing, followed her grandson, wrote the Age of Myst Island, and planned to trap Gehn on Riven by destroying every Linking Book in the Age. Catherine was the best student of Gehn, and Gehn intended to marry her against her will to further control the Art. On Riven he met Katran, whose name he consistently mispronounced as Catherine. By the end of his teen years, Atrus came to realize that Gehn was a madman. Living on the island of K'veer he taught Atrus to write, and how to travel back and forth through Ages safely. He led Atrus down into the underground D'ni capital and told him about his heritage. Gehn came back to the cleft when Atrus was fourteen and took the boy from his grandmother. This book shows Atrus growing up, first in the Cleft with his grandmother, then as he learns to write Ages with his father. Teen Years Ītrus plays the central character in the Book of Atrus, the prequel to the original Myst game. However Anna kept his existence hidden, as she worried that someone would kidnap him to sell him as a slave whenever the caravans came, he hid in the shadow of the volcano's rim, with patched dirty clothes the color of the desert, observing and taking in all details thanks to his lenses. The caravans were the only glimpse he had of the outside world, he longed seeing them day and night he dreamed about one time riding a camel and see the rest of the world. Early Years Īnna taught him much while raising him, including the D'ni language, D'ni stories, and how to look at The Whole.Īt 7 years old Atrus could help her with her garden and repairs of their home and he wished that she didn't have to work so hard. The child stayed with Anna, living in a cleft in the side of a volcano in the desert. Mad with bitterness, Gehn abandoned his mother with the baby, refusing to look or hold his son. His mother was ill while pregnant and despite Anna's efforts, she died while giving birth to him in the Cleft after a long night. As such, he has been acting as a scholar, explorer, inventor and even physician.Īlthough not the player character, he is the main protagonist of the Myst series as well as the book series.Ītrus was born to Gehn and Keta in 9411 and therefore was only 1/4 D'ni. In addition he holds an attitude radically different than his father's: in his Ages he explores and discovers the things that the Maker wrote "between" his own lines, he establishes respectful contact with the Outsiders he discovers, aids them to boost their civilization (as in Stoneship), protect them (as in Mechanical) or aiding them with hazards (as with The Tide). He has been known to experiment with the Art, to explore the Ages he wrote himself to understand the Art better. Although he was born well after the fall of D'ni, he holds the legacy of the D'ni civilization and the Art which he has studied by experimenting with it.

The sound wave strains the defects by alternately pushing and pulling on them, causing the electrons to change their spins. The electrodes used to generate the sound waves are roughly five microns in width, far larger than the defects themselves, which consist of two missing atoms known as a divacancy complex. “We wanted to see the coupling between the sound strain and the light response, but to see exactly what the coupling between them is, you need to know both how much strain you’re applying, and how much more optical response you’re getting out,” said Argonne nanoscientist Martin Holt, the lead author of the study. While the defects in the crystal naturally fluoresce, the additional strain causes the ground spin of the electron to change state, resulting in a coherent manipulation of the spin state that can be measured optically. In the experiment, the researchers sought to assess the relationship between the sound energy used to produce the strain on the defects in the crystal lattice and the spin transitions indicated by the emitted photons. Depending on which state the electrons are in, they emit either more or fewer photons in a technique known as spin-dependent readout. When the electrons trapped near the defects change between spin states, they emit energy in the form of photons. ![]() “We’re directly imaging sound’s footprint going through this crystal.” - Argonne materials scientist and Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering staff scientist Joseph Heremansīecause these defects are well isolated within the crystal, they can act as a single molecular state and as carriers of quantum information. The work follows on an earlier recent study in which the researchers observed changes in the spin state of the defect’s electrons when the material was similarly strained. Department of Energy’s Argonne National Laboratory and the Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering ( PME) at the University of Chicago, scientists used X-rays to observe spatial changes in a silicon carbide crystal when using sound waves to strain buried defects inside it. In a new discovery by researchers at the U.S. These technologies involve materials that can encode information in a number of states simultaneously, allowing for more efficient computation. By using sound waves, scientists have begun to explore fundamental stress behaviors in a crystalline material that could form the basis for quantum information technologies. When exposed to stress and strain, materials can display a wide range of different properties. ![]() ![]() ![]() Vulnerability Scanner: Helps you identify and fix security vulnerabilities on your PC.įirewall: Allows you to set protection levels for Internet traffic and applications that try to connect to your network.Ĭore Protection: The intelligent antivirus engine effectively detects and resolves threats.

Its antivirus performs poorly as compared to other antivirus programs. However, none of them are particularly impressive. Quick Heal Antivirus Pro offers a lot of features that may entice users. Finally, its anti-keylogger may sound great in theory, but it does not block that many keyloggers. It works to a degree, but there are limits and sometimes causes problems with regular browser usage. The browser security module is also sub-par. ZoneAlarm will give you more functionality for free. However, it doesn’t have that much power or configurability, and it’s not easy to use. It is intelligent enough to whitelist common applications. ![]() It detects malware without difficulty, but it also generates several false alarms. For one, the scanning is a little slower than the average with some acceleration, here and there. However, as far as performance goes, it still has a long way to go if it wants to compete against top security suites such as Norton, Kaspersky, and Avast. Looking at its offerings, Quick Heal Antivirus Pro seems to be a worthy antivirus. More, it can handle multiple simultaneous scans, so you can check a file even if you have a big system scan already running in the background. However, you can scan files from the explorer’s right-click menu. Note that there is actually no ability to add custom scan types or even tweak an individual scan type to behave differently. The scan button is at the bottom of the window, which, when clicked, gives access to three scan types: Memory, Full, and Custom. They only display settings that, once configured, you may never open again. More, these four areas do not give access to related functions. It gives most space to large buttons highlighting four areas-files and folders, emails, internet and network, and external drives. The app’s interface is cluttered and not that intuitive. However, the app does not do well in cramming all of these in its window. As noted, it does not only comes with antivirus, but with firewall, anti-keylogger, sandbox, and intrusion detector as well. One of the main selling points of Quick Heal Antivirus Pro is that it comes with a lot of features. However, these packages are well-protected from malware, and that they cannot be deleted or otherwise compromised. Users will also find that the package consumed plenty of disk space at around 800MB, although it only adds three background processes. So, even if you enter random digits as your contact number and choose a random location, the program won’t care. What’s more questionable is that the app does not validate the information beyond the email address. However, in doing so, you need to provide way too much personal data, including your name, email, address, country, state, and city. Contacting the support team will also prove to be useless, as you will only get generic troubleshooting advises-clear temporary folders, close other running apps, download, and run the installer again.įirst-time users can activate the trial to receive free updates. The installer will simply disappear with no logs to give you a clue. But what’s a more pressing issue is that the app does not provide any error message whenever a problem arises in the setup. Installing the app is also quite problematic. ![]() |
