You can craft a new book in your life and you can be the creator of wonderful new adventures. While we cannot jettison our pasts and there is no real need to do that, we benefit by beginning anew. Many people begin the new year and the new day with the heaviness of the burden of their past. “No, this is not the beginning of a new chapter in my life this is the beginning of a new book! That first book is already closed, ended, and tossed into the seas this new book is newly opened, has just begun! Look, it is the first page! And it is a beautiful one!” ― C. Beginning makes the conditions perfect.” -Alan Cohen 3. “Do not wait until the conditions are perfect to begin. You guessed it! The perfect time never came.įorget perfect, forget the best conditions, and simply begin. In the past, I have waited for the perfect time and the best situation. Do it for twenty minutes and watch your heart start beating.” -Barbara SherĪny new beginning is contingent on the simple fact that you begin and you keep working at it. “You don’t need endless time and perfect conditions. Stay away from what might have been, and look at what can be.”- Marsha Petrie Sue 2. “Nobody can go back and start a new beginning, but anyone can start today and make a new ending.” -Maria Robinson So are you seeking to make a new ending by creating exciting new beginnings? You may still have old habits and structures but you have a choice to move forward in new ways. Old moments will never repeat themselves exactly the same way as in the past.

![]() There I must really give kudos to the OmegaT developer: loading the TM was even faster than with Trados Workbench, which for me has always been a benchmark of speed to aspire to. I hope the new version is better in that respect. While its performance with large TMs has always been good (my personal "Big Mama" is about 330,000 TUs), import and export of such data volumes are painfully slow. I do have a license for the older version of DVX, but I didn't attempt any stress testing. The initial scan produces only fairly close matches, while the "power scan" is more like the usual concordance with the term embedded in a larger body of text (the non-matching parts being crossed out) Once again, Victor Dewsbery was kind enough to provide me with screenshots of the two "scan" options for searching the translation memory. The Déjá Vu X concordance hasn't changed significantly in appearance in the latest version (DVX2). Wordfast Pro - format not bad, but the test was limited due to the demo license SDL Trados 2009 - perhaps the easiest to read, but slower than molasses The concordance in SDL Trados 2007 - hits limited compared to OmegaT (see above) Other concordance views looked like this: My personal TM with about 10 years of my work in it is nearly as long as my German/English EU legal test database, but concordance searches in it using memoQ are not unduly slow. (Update: Kilgray's develops are actively working to remove this restriction.) Of all the tools I was able to test with a large concordance, memoQ was the only one to fail this way. So it looks like some development attention may need to be directed here. MemoQ error message from too many concordance hits (This would have been obvious had I paid enough attention to read the dialog title in the first place.) Further testing revealed that this error was due to the very large number of hits. Unfortunately, my favorite working environment, memoQ, performed worst with the same big data set: it simply gave an error message. I vacuumed my entire apartment and fed the dog while I waited for the result, and I wasn't even told how many hits were found. ![]() Concordance searches with SDL Trados Studio 2009, on the other hand, really sucked with a big TM (EU data, about 400,000 TUs). ![]() Searching a huge TM gave results in a flash. In terms of overall performance, the best results were obtained with OmegaT and "Trados Classic" (2007). I took a look at the TWB translation memories in SDL Trados 2007, concordancing in SDL Trados Studio 2009, Wordfast Pro (very limited test due to a demo license and my inability to load my TMX test data), memoQ and OmegaT. I was not very happy with some of what I discovered, especially with some of today's leading commercial tools. This inspired me to have a look at how various other tools display concordance results. The differences in layout and the lack of highlighting of the key term (which was aligned in the center of the memoQ concordance window in the ancient KWIC display tradition) were unexpected and confusing to the new user. So what was the problem? For years she had looked at this concordance view: Looks like the term ("Inverkehrbringen") was found. I was somewhat puzzled by that, and when I looked at her screen with the memoQ concordance dialog, I saw something like this: The user, who was quite experienced with OmegaT, kept telling me that memoQ could not find examples of a term's use in the TM and she had to do all her searches in OmegaT. A recent experience when tutoring a new memoQ user started me thinking about the way concordance searches work in various translation environment tools and how the results are displayed. ![]()
Of course the truth is a corporate secret for both IFF and Estée Lauder. (and later IFF) perfumer Josephine Catapano. at the time but Youth Dew has also been associated by some with Ameringen-Haebler, Inc. Ernest Shiftan was senior perfumer at Ameringen-Haebler, Inc.

Along with the gift came financial support in the form of an extention of credit that would not otherwise have been available to her.īacked by Estée Lauder's personal sales skills, Youth Dew took off like a rocked. Israel suggests that Youth Dew, created by IFF perfumers, was Van's gift to Estée. Ten years before the birth of Youth Dew, Estée had formed a friendship with Arnold Lewis van Ameringen, whose collection of companies would, in 1958, be consolidated as International Flavors & Fragrances (IFF) and would soon become the world's largest flavors and fragrance house.

Youth Dew was, for Estée Lauder, what La Rose Jacqueminot was for François Coty - the product that opened the door to a whole new universe. She was succeeding slowly, opening new accounts across America, getting her creams into the better department stores, becoming known in a small way.

Death is inevitable but it's not as punishing as you would think. Pay attention to your quest log to gain XP at a faster rate, especially when using certain forms as you can only use specific skills to complete specific quests.Save and save a lot. One XP bar for your current form and another XP bar for your overall levels. ![]() Completing quests and conquering dungeons grants you XP. If you don’t have the level or skills yet to fight off these enemies, then you must get XP….right? Well killing enemies doesn’t give you XP. This adds a depth to the fighting and makes it so you have to be strategic in certain dungeons. A sharp ward? You must hit them with a sharp attack. If a “baddie” has a blunt attack ward, you must hit them with a blunt attack. Each form has its strengths and weaknesses and it's your job to navigate and figure out which one is best for your current situation.Speaking of weakness, enemies have wards that you have to figure out as you progress. You can even customize a form with other forms skills to really create a skilled hero. These skills allow you to find secrets within the overworld and allow you to beat certain monsters as you progress. You’re a naked bald kid that finds a magic wand, this wand allows you to turn into powerful forms that have different skills and powers. You do have to figure out the land and use your forms to navigate and fight.The form transformation itself is a neat mechanic. You won’t get lost but it won’t hold your hand. The amount of quests that open up are wild, you will constantly be busy with quests and the map tells you exactly what to do and where to go. The dungeons themselves turn into Diablo-esque mazes with hordes of monsters trying to swarm you and kill you.The gameplay itself is meant to attract newer/casual gamers while also appealing to those who have been playing games similar to this for decades. The monsters are wicked and get more ludacris as you level up and conquer more dungeons. The landscape itself is very creative and very much alive. Fans of The Binding of Isaac will love the gross and overly animated beings and creatures throughout the land. Sure, initially you may get the feeling this is inspired from Zelda but that’s only in the camera angle and that feeling goes away very quickly. You discover a wand that grants you transformation powers and you must find the wizard Nostradamus and the gem shards so you can stop Calamity from taking over the world!This one has a classic top down look to it but loaded with all kinds of goodies from all over the action RPG genre. ![]() You discoverSo here we are again with another fantastic action adventure RPG!

Moving from Windows to Mac and back again is fast and seamless. Once installed, Windows feels snappy and responsive. I started up Parallels Desktop, inserted my USB stick, and Windows was installed without fuss. The price was the same as downloading from Microsoft: $179 Aussie dollars. In my case, I purchased a shrink-wrapped version of Windows 10 Home from a store. Transferring a previously-installed version of Windows is the least-recommended option, as it can lead to licensing issues or driver problems.

My personal take: Virtualization technology provides a convenient way of accessing non-Mac software while using macOS. Virtualization is an excellent alternative. That’s very convenient if you need non-Mac software.Ī virtual machine will run slower than your real computer, but Parallels has worked hard to optimize performance. But why run a slower virtual machine when you can install Windows on your actual computer using Bootcamp? Because having to restart your machine to change operating systems is slow, inconvenient, and incredibly frustrating. On that virtual computer, you can run any operating system you like, including Windows, and any software that runs on that operating system. Parallels Desktop is virtualization software - it emulates a new computer in software. Turn Your Mac Into Several Computers with Virtualization In each subsection, I’ll first explore what the app offers and then share my personal take.

Parallels Desktop Review: What’s In It for You? The content in the quick summary box above serves as a short version of my findings and conclusions. In this Parallels Desktop review, I’ll share what I like and dislike about Parallels Desktop. This review reflects my use of both versions. The new version was released, so I immediately upgraded. For the last week, I’ve been putting it through its paces, installing Windows 10 (purchased just for this review) and several other operating systems, and trying just about every feature in the program. I was provided a review license and installed an earlier version on my iMac. ![]() See the Alternatives section of this Parallels Desktop review. So I found myself using a combination of dual boot, virtualization (using VMware and VirtualBox) and Wine. I enjoyed the change, but still needed certain Windows apps on a regular basis. After using Microsoft Windows for over a decade, I made a deliberate move away from the operating system in 2003. Why Trust Me for This Parallels Desktop Review?

![]() he creeps me the fuck OUT, just looking at him on video. But more than anything, something about that guy totally makes my skin crawl. There are also documented cases of eye color changing as an emotional response and violent offenders seeming to change appearance, even smell differently during attacks. I can't really say why either, other than I think it was a combination of the tone of his skin and his facial features somehow. Me and my mom had to give DNA samples so they could rule us out if our DNA showed up on the comforter as well.Ībout the hispanic thing - when I first saw him on Dateline, my immediate, at-a-glance impression was that he was Latino. The police weren't able to get any fingerprints or anything else other than those drops of blood. But 1-2 drops of blood seems normal from that experience. Luckily the neighbor is also a cop so she and her husband were able to arrest them. There were about 5 people that broke in, 3 were arrested inside the house and 2 women had gone back through the window they broke in through and hopped the fence to the neighbors yard. They were able to get to my house cause we live 0.5 miles from the police station pretty quickly so they were able to arrest some of the people while they were inside my house. They broke in through the bedroom window on the first floor and there were literally only 2 small drops of blood on my white comforter. My house was broken into when I was in the shower. Crazy worldĢ) Not professional or anything but speaking from personal experience. My thoughts on this case rest in 1) motive - why her? Why then? and 2) how has he not had any other violent charges before or after? - seems like a crazy big jump to that kind of violence. The blood on the window is pretty damning. I'm sure after 9 years Brittany had built this monster in her head with whatever features her brain produced, which may or may not match the actual person. In terms of being able to recognize someone, us humans place way too much stock in our conscious memory. Could she have been about to drop some dirt on her dad? I just thought it was weird that he wasn't more involved (at least in the episode of dateline). I was pretty curious why the dad didn't come up more? Hadn't she been living with him up until THAT DAY? She was meeting with her mom to talk about moving back in. However, I highly doubt that the defective "did some underhanded crap to get it solved" - after 9 years and 75+ suspects, why frame this one dude? I also don't think it's the mom. it's a tough case, especially cause it has been so long between the crime and the conviction. I just have lingering feelings about this case. ![]() Obviously we all know that people who turn out to be murderers (or would be murderers) are often able to fool those around them. I’m just looking for insight, not at all saying that he’s innocent or anything. Here is a link to one write up, and the video I watched was here. I couldn’t find much more about evidence on this case. What is the motive Marcell barely knew this person. Why was the mom so confused on the ethnicity of the man ( he clearly looks Caucasian to me but she said he was light Hispanic or dark Caucasian ) Why didn’t the mom immediately recognize Justin if she said that the image of the man was “burned into her brain” Why was there a perfectly round drop of blood left by the suspect? If it were from broken glass, wouldn’t it be slightly smeared or in a different blood pattern if the suspect was running away? Why weren’t there fingerprints on the shovel or mention of any other forensic evidence left behind (during a brutal attack you would think there would be something) I just watched a video on the Brittani Marcell/Justin Hansen case and I was left with some questions. ![]() In 1997, the airport introduced Common Use Terminal Equipment (CUTE), becoming the first airport in the country to do so.
