![]() ![]() If you are on paperless statements right before you cancel their card, I would suggest switching to paper so at least you get some notification when they freeze you out online. I'm supposed to call them to find out if they're going to ruin my credit with a glitch? I will never get another Barclay bank card again, this is some backwards BS customer service. I will have no notification if it's not credited unless I call Barclays or check my credit report. So basically, I have to trust that this annual fee which was supposed to be credited back to my account already will actually be credited back at some point this month before my next statement cuts. They can't change me back to paper statements because the account is closed. ![]() They can't reinstate online access b/c the account is closed. I call Barclays and they tell me these things: 1. I try to log in online to see what's up and I no longer have online access. ![]() Pulled my creditkarma this weekend and I see an $89 balance on a closed Barclays account. They assured me the annual fee would be credited back to my account. If you cancel enrollment in paperless statements, you will receive paper statements by mail and will continue to have access to electronic statements online (for up to 12 months). Just after my annual fee posted, I canceled the card and paid off the current month's charges. You may cancel paperless statements in Account Online or by calling us at the number on the back of your card. I had the Barclaycard Arrival+ for one year. I'm in the most ridiculous situation with Barclay's right now and I can't imagine anyone but a churner understanding.
![]() ![]() The delights of quantising – using computers to digitally adjust tempos without affecting pitch – were still some twenty years in the future.’ Playing the piece without any instruments meant that getting through it without mistakes demanded the full range of our limited musicianship matters such as tempo had to be left in abeyance. In order to keep tracks free for the overdubs we had bass and drums on two tracks, and the whole recording had to be done in one pass. Roger and I embarked on what can only be described as an Odyssean voyage to record the backing track. ![]() It proved eventful to say the least, as Nick Mason recalled in Inside Out… ‘Unfortunately, Atom Heart Mother is twenty-four minutes long. With a structure now beginning to take shape it was time to really get down to work in the recording studio which was once again EMI’s Abbey Road now something of a second home for the band. ![]() In any event the piece that ultimately became Atom Heart Mother had by now been performed many times on the road. I think we had always intended to record the track, but the songwriters must have all felt they had hit a specific block, as in the early summer we decided to hand over the music as it existed to Ron Geesin and asked him if he could add some orchestral colour and choral parts.’ Gradually we added, subtracted and multiplied the elements, but still seemed to lack an essential something. One way to develop such a piece was to play it live, so we played shortened versions, sometimes dubbed The Amazing Pudding, at a number of gigs. After some lengthy sessions in early 1970, we had created a very long, rather majestic, but rather unfocused and still unfinished piece. I can’t remember now if we had decided to create a longer piece or whether it just snowballed, but it was a way of operating we were starting to feel comfortable with. Once we settled on the nucleus of the piece (a theme supplied I think by David), everyone else had contributed, not only musically, but also in devising the overall dynamics. ‘Atom Heart Mother had been assembled during a number of rehearsals. Clearly the rather woolly approach to creating the music was unlikely to bear any great fruit given the confused beginnings of the work as recalled by Mason. Writing in his book Inside Out Nick Mason described the vague genesis of the piece. Atom Heart Mother was an incredibly difficult piece and the studio version that finally It was also performed live at the Bath Festival where the surviving film footage demonstrates just how difficult it was to get the thing right. Regarding live performances, the full scale work was toured extensively in Europe and America. In it’s full scale incarnation it was transmitted live on the BBC and on the Europa satellite. The piece was performed live by the four piece band on dozens of occasions. Once The Amazing Pudding emerged from the development process it had metamorphosed into Atom Heart Mother and had gained additional instrumentation in the form of a ten piece brass section and full choir. In 1970 the band began trying out an extended piece known as The Amazing Pudding. As we have seen Careful with That Axe was one example which was originally known as Murderistic Woman. During this process familiar tracks would often be given working titles. It was in the concert hall where emerging new compositions would be tested and refined over a long series of live dates. This is particularly important when one considers how much of Pink Floyd’s output was worked out on the road. But, as a whole it’s awful schmaltzy and a little vapid.Although Pink Floyd are today remembered for the brilliance of their work in the studio it’s important not to overlook the fact that the band was very much a working touring live unit. And, there are sounds that draw pictures. As Impressionism, it’s occasionally effective, but on a very imitative level. It turns out to be an Impressionist orchestral sketch of (I think) a morning that includes some rock elements. The best that can be said for it is that it’s craftsman-like and that in spite of its many parts, it’s an entity. They use orchestral elements and a choir. Their last album, Ummagumma, while a bit drawn-out, had all their best elements.Ītom Heart Mother is a step headlong into the last century and a dissipation of their collective talents, which are considerable. Pink Floyd used sounds no one else thought of and could make them lyrical besides. Most other groups, when they thought in terms of electronics, thought only of painful feedback. And their music, if it wasn’t memorable, reached into the limits of their experimentation. Their use of a third, rear, sound source anticipated quadraphonics. Their work in the electronic capabilities of rock was more advanced than most people recognize. At one time, Pink Floyd was far-out, freaky even. ![]() ![]() ![]() It’s rarely an issue of which dialogue option is chosen either – his first meeting with Faye, who mysteriously arrives at his remote cabin after injuring her foot on a hike, gives a choice of responses ranging from blunt disinterest to an awkward “we’ll have to amputate” joke. Ed himself is by far the worst, with practically every line meant to be charmingly wry, but instead landing as snarky, sarcastic, or just plain mean. While the tale this alternate universe Vertigo weaves is ultimately compelling – if, it should be noted for sensitive audiences, extremely dark in places, with multiple suicidal moments, sexual assaults, and even child murder – it all unfortunately hinges on some truly unlikeable characters. However, it’s in the aftermath that things become as tense and unpredictable as the inspiration material, when it appears there’s no evidence of Ed’s family ever existing. ![]() Framed in dizzying angles and shots replicating Hitchcock’s tricks, and with a haunting score from composer Juan Miguel Martin, it certainly nails an appropriately unsettling tone. ![]() Things get off to a suitably Hitchcockian start, with writer Ed Miller being pulled away from a suicidal leap from a bridge, in the wake of a car crash that killed his wife and child. Instead, this is more an adaptation of Hitchcock’s themes and tones – a video game based on his vibes, if you will. Fans of the movie shouldn’t expect to play through the events of Hitchcock’s (once overlooked) cinematic masterpiece, or even cross paths with the film's characters. Let’s be up front: the title Alfred Hitchcock – Vertigo is doing some seriously heavy lifting in this adventure game from Blacksad and Yesterday developer Pendulo Studio.

They’d be one in the same in every lexicon on the planet if it were humanly possible. It takes a bit of trial and error to find the right setting that doesn’t cause your laptop to freeze or crash, but the benefits are well worth the effort. This is a handy technique for notebook owners who want to undervolt their GPU, reducing its heat and power consumption. While mobile GPUs have become very efficient in the last two years, every little bit counts.įinally, for those who don’t mind getting their hands dirty, it’s possible to change the power curve of modern NVIDIA GPUs using MSI Afterburner. If you’re on a notebook, you’ll definitely want to make sure “Optimal power”, or at least “Adaptive” is selected in the global settings. You can then use “Prefer maximum performance” for only those titles. For demanding games that don’t play well with Optimal Power or Adaptive, find (or create) the required profile in the “Program Settings” tab of the “Manage 3D settings” page. The NVIDIA Control Panel allows you to configure profiles for games on a case-by-case basis. Unfortunately, this will increase the “idle” heat and power draw of your GPU, even when you’re not doing anything. Now, it’s tempting to hit up the driver’s global settings and set the power management mode to the aforementioned value and never think about it again. As the name suggests, this setting will run your card at its maximum clocks all the time. Newer NVIDIA cards feature several more options, such as “NVIDIA driver-controlled” and “Prefer consistent performance”, but the only other choice you need to worry about is “Prefer maximum performance”. However, Optimal Power adds another feature - it’ll stop the GPU rendering a new frame if nothing has changed on screen and instead reuse what’s already in the framebuffer. Both options will modulate the core and memory clock speeds and voltage of your GPU, increasing them during times of load and decreasing them when demand is low. Optimal power superseded the previous default, called “Adaptive”. This setting was introduced into the company’s video drivers with the GTX 1080, specifically version 368.22 release in May 2016. By default, NVIDIA sets the power management mode of your GPU (be it in card or laptop form) to “Optimal power”. ![]() ![]() We also have open idea and suggestion channels in our Discord and a website that allows players to vote on ideas and helps prioritize what we work on next. We regularly send out surveys to gain valuable ideas and feedback about things that we are working on and spend a lot of time directly engaging in conversations with our community members. “We primarily use Discord, emails, our website and social media to engage with our community. “The price may increase moderately when we release.” It’s already a game that thousands of players have fallen in love with and enjoyed.” We believe it's the largest world that's been built specifically for VR that's launched. “Currently, most core features of the game have been implemented with around 100 hours worth of content, 2 classes, 3 subclasses for each class, a massive open world that spans vast and diverse locations, crafting, a huge variety of quests, robust social features like guilds, parties, and friends. It will feature deeper and more fleshed out crafting systems, more classes, player housing, more avatar customization options, instanced dungeons, PVP, and more.” “The full version of Zenith will have more polish, have at least one additional class, new spells, weapons and abilities. However, we will continue developing Zenith for many years to come with a huge roadmap, and treating it as a live service title.” ![]() Leaving early access signifies that we consider the initial “core experience” to be fully polished. “The early access period will be roughly a year based on our current roadmap. It not only gives players a chance to help shape the development of our game, but it also gives us a platform to explore ideas on to make Zenith the best VR MMO possible.” We feel that Early Access on Steam is a great way for us to continue that collaboration with our community. Since VR is still a relatively new platform with unique challenges, every step of our development journey the past few years has involved gaining invaluable feedback from our incredible community and experimenting with thoughts and ideas that they’ve contributed. ![]() “We are a small indie studio with incredibly large ambitions of bringing a deep, feature-rich and satisfying MMO into VR. ![]() ![]() ![]() If one looks around, there are innumerable beautiful things to notice – they seem to flow immortally as a fountain, from the gods above to help the pitiable human beings to cope with the harshness of life. ![]() We honor them by erecting magnificent, grand sepulchers in which beauty is seen. ‘The mighty dead’ are those martyrs who have died bravely for a cause. The poet also sees beauty in the death of martyrs and legends. The expression ‘Lily of the valley’ is quite well known and rouses images of a delicate lone white flower holding up its head amidst a setting of thorns and barbs and everything contrary in nature to delicateness – so too are the daffodils mentioned in the poem. Keats sees the beauty in innocent humans seeking solace in nature, and Mother Nature in its own way sprouts a shady abode of relief and consolation. The ‘simple sheep’ are human beings – the poet sympathizes with the innocence of human beings. The examples cited by the poet are as such: the sun, the moon, trees, flowers, streams, musk-rose blooms, architectural sepulchers, even fairy tales or heroic legends. ![]() After all, beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder – Everyone can highlight something beautiful in anything. This closing paragraph simply tells us some of the beautiful things on Earth. Rich with a sparkling of fair musk-rose blooms Īnd such too is the grandeur of the doomsĪll lovely tales that we have heard or read ‘Gainst the hot season the mid forest brake, That for themselves a cooling covert make With the green world they live in and clear rills Trees old, and young, sprouting a shady boon This band keeps us bound to the despondent earth – as we would otherwise be hopeless. Hence, the poet says that we – human beings – each day create an ornate band, made of all the lovely things we see. However, in spite of all, a thing of beauty helps remove the dark cloud that burdens our souls. Every day human beings face gloomy days packed with unhealthy spite and darkness. The earth minus the beautiful things is a despondent, spiteful place thriving in callous insensitive dearth and is harsh toward human beings. Made for our searching: yes, in spite of all, Of all the unhealthy and o’er-darkened ways Spite of despondence, of the inhuman dearth Therefore, on every morrow, are we wreathing The benefits proffered by a thing of beauty are listed as giving sound rest with good dreams and well-being. Its beauty only increases and it will never cease. Very simply put, yet poetic, Keats describes a thing of beauty as emanating joy forever. The author writes in the poem that "a piece of beauty is a delight forever," implying that "an item of beauty is a joy even in the midst of disease, sorrows, and disappointments of life.Full of sweet dreams, and health, and quiet breathing. ![]() Note: The theme that prevails throughout the poem when a beautiful object returns to our minds, the enjoyment it brings never fades away, but multiplies many times over. There are numerous beautiful things to see if one looks around - they appear to flow immortally as a spring from the gods above to assist the pitiable human beings in coping with the harshness of life. Those who have died valiantly for a cause are known as "the mighty dead." We pay tribute to them by creating majestic, grand sepulchres that are filled with splendour. The poet also sees beauty in martyrs' and legends' deaths. These provide us with pleasure and divine influence, much like an unending fountain supplied by heaven. The great dead are still alive and active as spiritual forces thanks to their legends. We are enthralled by martyr legends and myths. And such too is the grandeur of the dooms We have imagined for the mighty dead All lovely tales that we have heard or read: An endless fountain of immortal drink, Pouring unto us from the heavens brink. The ‘Mighty dead' are associated with 'grandeur,' since the majesty of their acts inspires us through their sagas. John Keats writes “And such too is the grandeur of the dooms, We have imagined for the mighty dead” Throughout the poem, he highlights the beauty and joy that surrounds us. According to the poet, the melancholy and unhappiness brought on by this negativity melt away when we are surrounded by lovely things. Hatred, greed, and negativity abound on this planet. They are snares that bind us to material things and prohibit us from experiencing ultimate delight. Our ties to the physical world are like a flowery wreath. A lovely object is like a shaded shelter that provides us with a restful night's sleep, excellent health, and relaxation. It has an everlasting beauty that never fades. Hint: "Endymion - a lyrical romance," penned by the famed poet John Keats, is the source of the poem "A Thing of Beauty." According to the poet, it is a source of infinite joy. ![]() ![]() ![]() By purchasing the Graphic Assets, you agree to the terms of this agreement.
