![]() They have made this grief process ten times more difficult. They refuse to give out extensions to their employees. They have a customer service call center that operates like commission based bill collectors. Every department has different information. We lost our house in the Camp Fire on November 8, 2018, we called them on November 9, 2018 They refused to speak with our insurance company regarding the total loss, they've called and harassed us since November for payment. Selene Finance bought our mortgage company. Hopefully they will look into this company's very unethical business practices. I am definitely going to report this company to the CFPB. How can that be when I'm trying to pay over the amount due? And of course, not being able to make online payments, my only choice is to pay over the phone, and you guess right, for a fee. Their website has an issue that doesn't allow me to make a payment keeps getting an error about my payment being less than what is due. What is wrong with these people! Further, it's been 4 months since I've tried to pay my mortgage online. So frustrating! Each time I call is the same waste of time by speaking to people who don't know how to resolve the issue, much less provide guidance. Yet, the fees continue to be added even through I make my regular monthly mortgage payment in addition to the fees added for that month. ![]() It's been 4 months and my statement continues to reflect several “unknown” fees. They absolutely try to exploit people! I've been told they would look at my account and resolve the issue. They continue to charge fees thst their own employees cannot explain. This is the worst company that I have ever done business with. However, at this point, after several bad experiences with this company, I would give this company 1/2 star or no stars if the program would allow me to do so. I am not one who writes many reviews much less, bad reviews. If I could give them negative stars I would. The payoff showed up an hour late for closing and thankfully I don't have to call them again but their customer service is beyond horrible and there's no way they should be in business. When I asked them if they made it a regular practice to not uphold contract close dates the “supervisor” Brenda just repeated that there is a 7 business day turn time. When I told the representative that I was not happy being lied to last night nor was I happy with being in breach of contract and that's not how we do business they were unconcerned. There were multiple chain reactions that were taking place from just this one sale. I had to cancel the real estate closing for my sellers which in turn put their buy in breach of contract too. I did not cancel closing due to this information. ![]() I was told on Thursday, Sept 19th by 2 different people within their organization that the payoff was done and just being finalized and I would have it by the end of the day. ![]() What is the p oint of escalating the request if it doesn't change the turn time I still do not know. Each time I called I received the same line that they have 7 business day turn around time and cannot guaranty I will have it faster. All along I informed everyone that there was a contract closing date of Friday, Sept 20th at 10 a.m. All along I have kept record of everyone I spoke with. On Wednesday, Sept 18th, I requested the request be escalated. I requested a payoff for the sale of a home on Monday, Sept 16th. ![]() ![]() ![]() The music video, which would be nominated Best Music Video at the 61st Annual Grammy Awards in February 2019 and win Best Art Direction and Best Cinematography at the 2018 MTV Video Music Awards, among other accolades, was first shown at the end of their second On the Run II Tour show at London Stadium on June 16, 2018, where it was followed by the announcement that a new album was out. ![]() In June 2018 Beyoncé and her husband Jay-Z (together known as the musical duo the Carters) released their video clip “APESHIT” to announce and promote their new album, Everything Is Love. Exploring the ways in which the politics of proximity, contiguity, and access in “APESHIT” interface with those of representation to challenge the white colonialist narrative of the museum, this article seeks to understand how dancing affects the social space of the museum and what kind of knowledge dancing at the museum produces. For this, I focus on the music video “APESHIT” (2018) and bring rhetorical theory in dialogue with recent theory on proximity, to build on Mary Louise Pratt’s notion of the contact zone as a social space “where cultures meet, clash, and grapple with each other, often in contexts of highly asymmetrical relations of power, such as colonialism, slavery, or their aftermaths as they are lived out in many parts of the world today.” Filmed at the Musée du Louvre and released to promote the new album of R&B singer Beyoncé and her husband, rapper Jay-Z, the music video produces the art museum as a contact zone by bringing black dancers and singers into its space and staging relations between the performers and some of its iconic pieces. In this article, the rhetorical figure of parataxis will be developed as a concept to inquire into what happens when performers dance at the museum, and how such dancing can be an agent of social change. But, as the song's "can't believe we made it / this is what we're thankful for" refrain makes clear, it's simultaneously a celebration, a reclamation of cultural space, and a transformation of cultural space.The curatorial turn, with its shift of attention from the individual (autonomous) artwork toward the exhibition and the role of the curator in its creation, has brought about a renewed focus on the museum as a political space a space for experimentation and for transformation, for knowledge creation, and for social regeneration. It pays tribute to the historic struggles and sacrifices made by - or, more often, forced upon - the black community, as well as those injustices still apparent today (consider the scenes at 3:30 and 4:40 in the video juxtaposing protests and the #TakeAKnee movement). ![]() The video showcases highlights of the museum's collection to weave a narrative of black empowerment and excellence, as both a representation of and response to the artworks featured. (Let's hope there was a good mood board presentation involved?) "The deadlines were very tight, but the Louvre was quickly convinced because the synopsis showed a real attachment to the museum and its beloved artworks."Īnd let's be clear, "Apeshit" is a work of art itself. "During their last visit in May 2018, explained their idea," a Louvre spokesperson told Vulture. Also, the whole project was somehow kept totally secret! And sure, everything was love fine, because I mean, who had plans over the weekend anyway?! Oh, and on top of the nine track-long record (10 if you count bonus track "Salud," I suppose) Bey and Jay also debuted a video for "Apeshit," which they shot IN THE LOUVRE, having been granted private access to the museum for filming. Beyoncé and Jay-Z - or The Carters, technically - dropped a surprise album, Everything is Love, on Saturday night. ![]() ![]() ![]() The embossed letter method was based on the reading system of sighted people, with minimal adaptation for those with vision loss. Reading this way proved to be a rather arduous task, as the letters were difficult to distinguish by touch. The Royal Institute for Blind Youth in Paris taught the students to read embossed roman letters, a method created by the school’s founder, Valentin Hauy (Jimenez et al., 2009). Several different systems of tactile reading can be seen as forerunners to the method Louis Braille developed, but these systems were all developed based on the sighted system. The growing acknowledgement of the uniqueness of different disabilities led to more targeted education strategies, fostering an environment in which the benefits of a specifically blind education could be more widely recognized. Eventually blind institutions were separated from deaf institutions, and the focus shifted towards education of the blind, as was the case for the Royal Institute for Blind Youth, which Louis Braille attended (Jimenez et al, 2009). At first, a joint institute for the blind and deaf was created, and although the partnership was motivated more by financial considerations than by the well-being of the residents, the institute aimed to help people develop skills valuable to society (Weygand, 2009). While people with temporary difficulties were able to access public welfare, the most common response to people with long-term disabilities, such as hearing or vision loss, was to group them together in institutions (Tombs, 1996). In France, debates about how to deal with disability led to the adoption of different strategies over time. Blind people were excluded from the sighted world, but also entirely dependent on sighted people for information and education. This demonstrates the importance of reading and writing to social status at the time: without access to text, it was considered impossible to fully participate in society. While disabled people in general suffered from discrimination, blindness was widely viewed as the worst disability, and it was commonly believed that blind people were incapable of pursuing a profession or improving themselves through culture (Weygand, 2009). ![]() ![]() Text was one of the primary methods through which people engaged with culture, communicated with others, and accessed information without a well-developed reading system that did not rely on sight, blind people were excluded from social participation (Weygand, 2009). Lack of access to reading and writing put blind people at a serious disadvantage in nineteenth-century society. Subsequently, it explores the wide-ranging effects of this invention on blind people’s social and cultural lives. It then describes the invention of Braille and the gradual process of its acceptance within blind education. This essay begins by discussing the situation of blind people in nineteenth-century Europe. It not only provided practical benefits, but also helped change the cultural status of blindness. As the first writing system designed for blind people’s needs, Braille was a groundbreaking new accessibility tool. The idea of tactile reading was not entirely new, but existing methods based on sighted systems were difficult to learn and use. In a society that did not value disabled people in general, blindness was particularly stigmatized, and lack of access to reading and writing was a significant barrier to social participation. The writing system of raised dots used by visually impaired people was developed by Louis Braille in nineteenth-century France. ![]() The invention of Braille was a major turning point in the history of disability. An Appeal to the Senses: The Development of the Braille System in Nineteenth-Century France ![]() ![]() Still, electrical stimulation has been demonstrated to effect persistent changes in connectivity and synaptic strength of stimulated circuits in experimental models of the intact and injured CNS. However, despite documented improvements in functional recovery from a combination of rehabilitation with neural stimulation, rehabilitation alone remains the only therapy of standard practice for chronic neural injury 4, 5, 6, 7. The concept of electrical stimulation as a potential therapy for central nervous system (CNS) trauma has gained traction in recent years. Yet, they have garnered notably less attention compared to interventions that target lower limb functions, such as standing and walking. Hand and arm recovery is the top ranked treatment priority for those suffering from cervical SCI 2, 3, thus interventions to target hand and arm recovery are of critical importance. Paralysis of the hand is a common condition following cervical spinal cord injury (SCI), brain trauma, or stroke 1. Further, electrophysiology mapping of the ventral spinal cord revealed the ventral approach was suitable to target muscle groups of the rat forelimb and, at a single electrode lead position, different stimulation protocols could be applied to achieve unique activation patterns of the muscles of the forelimb. Our approach allowed for preservation of mobility following surgery and was suitable for long term stimulation strategies in awake, freely functioning animals. We therefore designed a novel approach for epidural stimulation of the rat spinal cord using a wireless stimulation system and ventral electrode array. Penetrating wire electrodes have been explored in rodent and pig models and, while they have proven beneficial in the injured spinal cord, the negative aspects of spinal parenchymal penetration (e.g., gliosis, neural tissue damage, and obdurate inflammation) are of concern when considering therapeutic potential. They suggest that the presence of SI change in otherwise mild CSM may not necessarily warrant an operative intervention.Electrical stimulation of the cervical spinal cord is gaining traction as a therapy following spinal cord injury however, it is difficult to target the cervical motor region in a rodent using a non-penetrating stimulus compared with direct placement of intraspinal wire electrodes. have found that among patients with clinically mild CSM with SI change on MRI, only 44% had neurologic deterioration or undergone surgery over the course of 10 years. Instead, in a retrospective study, Oshima et al. However, there was no significant correlation between the SI change and severity of clinical symptoms or deterioration of myelopathy, or exacerbation of CSM in patients managed conservatively. A correlation of worse outcomes at 6 months and 12 months with presence of hypointensity on T1-weighted imaging (T1WI), hyperintensity on T2WI, area on T2WI, sagittal extent on T2WI were reported. There was a significant correlation of SI change and presence of clinical myelopathy and a correlation of SI ratio with recovery rate. This change in intensity is known to be associated with more severe disease and a worse prognosis. T1 hypointensity should be considered a sign of more advanced disease. Notable spinal cord T2 hyperintensity on cervical magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is correlated with a worse outcome, whereas lighter signal changes may predict better outcomes. MEP and EMG monitoring are useful to reduce C5 root palsy during CSM surgery. The differential diagnosis of CSM from other neurological conditions can be accomplished by those tests. The electrophysiological tests to be used in CSM patients are motor evoked potential (MEP), spinal cord evoked potential, somatosensory evoked potential, and electromyography (EMG). ![]() However, they are not highly sensitive and may be absent in approximately one-fifth of patients with myelopathy. Myelopathic signs are useful for the clinical diagnosis of CSM. In patients with no symptoms, but significant stenosis, the risk of developing myelopathy with cervical stenosis is approximately 3% per year. The natural course of patients with cervical stenosis and signs of myelopathy is quite variable. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Operating System Requirements Installation Steps - Windows - Windows 7 SP1 or later (64-bit) - Intel or AMD processor - 1 GB RAM (4 GB recommended) - 1-5 GB disk space (depending on products installed) - Hardware-accelerated graphics card with OpenGL support - Internet connection (for product updates) - Download the COMSOL Multiphysics installer from the product download page - Run the installer as an administrator - Follow the instructions on the screen - Activate the license file when prompted macOS - macOS 10.9 or later (64-bit) - Intel processor - 1 GB RAM (4 GB recommended) - 1-5 GB disk space (depending on products installed) - Hardware-accelerated graphics card with OpenGL support - Internet connection (for product updates) - Download the COMSOL Multiphysics installer from the product download page - Mount the disk image file (.dmg) by double-clicking it - Drag the COMSOL folder to the Applications folder - Run the COMSOL application from the Applications folder - Activate the license file when prompted Linux - Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 or later / Ubuntu LTS 12.04 or later / Debian 7 or later / OpenSUSE 13.1 or later (64-bit) - Intel or AMD processor - 1 GB RAM (4 GB recommended) - 1-5 GB disk space (depending on products installed) - Hardware-accelerated graphics card with OpenGL support - Internet connection (for product updates) - Download the COMSOL Multiphysics installer from the product download page - Extract the installer file (.zip) to a temporary folder - Run the installer script (install) from a terminal window - Follow the instructions on the screen - Activate the license file when prompted Once COMSOL Multiphysics is installed and activated, users can start creating and running multiphysics models using the graphical user interface (GUI) or the command-line interface (CLI).

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() If Valve wasn't such an incompetent company, yes OpenGL would be the prefered renderer. Sadly, they fail on a massive scale and playing this game in OpenGL will greatly compromise texture clarity even when using gl_nearest texture filtering. OpenGL has a bug where it applies a terrible filter to textures that are not a power of 2. Example of a power of 2 texture: 256x256. Example of a non-power of 2 texture: 128x256. You'd be doing yourself a great disservice by playing this game in OpenGL today.Ĭertain objects in the game use the latter for their textures and this makes the textures look HORRIBLE on OpenGL. Hell, I wouldn't even recommend the Steam version of it. I'd get a hold of the disc copy and patch it to the latest version of WON. Good think I kept the WON version (in the Half Life Generation aka the Blue Box) Originally posted by Ikagura:Thanks, I like the pixelly version of the textures You'll get back 5.1 surround sound and proper EAX/A3D, overbright lighting for HDR like effect, and no censorship on characters. Originally posted by Kurai Shidosha:Modern Valve blows. Also that is direct3d not actually software mode I dunno, opengl runs better on my computer and software mode has lots of issues including with lighting. It's only D3D11 because I am using a Direct Draw wrapper. I have to use this because starting in Windows 8, Microsoft deprecated native hardware accelerated DirectDraw support. ![]() This means any software renderer ran on Windows 8 and later is emulated. This is why OpenGL runs better for you than software, because OpenGL is operating system agnostic and is always hardware accelerated. With the 3rd party program "DGVoodoo 2", you can get back hardware acceleration for software rendering. It dynamically converts all DirectDraw calls into a D3D11 call which the GPU can handle. It is significantly more efficient and accurate than Microsoft's emulated jank.īut by all accounts, what you're seeing in my software screenshots are in-fact software rendered Half Life as it would have been viewed on Windows 7 and earlier systems, with the same high performance and accurate visuals.Playing the original Half Life retail CD (even with patches) on my Pentium III systems with Geforce cards seems to get me this peculiar texture issue, where a lot of models have just plain white textures and the HUD elements are all single-colour squares. I've been using the last drivers available officially from Nvidia's site, 81.98 I wanted to try the earlier 45.23 drivers that I've seen recommended, but something about the download (from PhilsComputerLab's site) didn't let Windows 98SE see them as drivers at all. And I've seen mentions that they're not necessarily the best for DX9 games anyway, not that the FX series are the best cards for those either, but I want to give mine the best chance y'know? And with an FX 5700 and the 1.4GHz Tualatin system that it's in, it feels suitable to have the freedom to see how well I can run certain DX9 games. I've not have any problems like this with other games I've tried Rome Total War had a visually somewhat similar issue when trying it on my Geforce 4, but was fine on my FX 5700, so I'm putting that down to a DX9 compatibility issue. So what could be happening here, and what could I try to troubleshoot or address this? Perhaps there could be some other recommended drivers or something, for instance. Release note don't mention the FX5700 and it is a later chip (NV36) than the FX5800: Well, if you play CS 1.5 with certain custom mini-gl drivers for your Voodoo 3, you can see through walls at some points due to clipping errors, giving you a competitive edge with heavier weapons like the scout, g3 or AWP. So, maybe you really need a slightly later version or to threaten your Windows to put it on an induction cooking pad if it does not comply with installing them. General note: I never had issues fragging people on a V3 in HL or CS and eventually upgraded to a GF4 Ti4200 without remembering much of a difference. Half-Life is a Titan of a game, but it's from 1998 and based on the Quake Engine from 1996. So, by Geforce FX standards already, it's ancient. Then, it got upgraded with all kinds of high res texture packs, etc, that won't be supported by the prehistoric engine and hence, not by any hardware 3d acceleration. Leaving all the heavy lifting to software and the CPU. ![]() ![]() ![]() However, if you think that the ambient sounds are a distraction to you, you can simply turn it off in the game settings.

First of all, it has a clean game interface. Although Pinochle is still a simple two-handed card game like many others, they still put an effort into making decent graphics for the game.

In English society, solitaire gained popularity thanks to a book called Illustrated Games of Patience, written by Lady Adelaide Cadogan. Solitaire is one of the most popular card games, but do you also know its history? Solitaire has been around since the 18th century, when it first appeared in a written text. Other well-known games are Spider Solitaire, FreeCell, Pyramid Solitaire, Golf Solitaire, Tri Peaks and Forty Thieves. We all know the classic solitaire variant, officially known as Klondike Solitaire, in which you build cards on the tableau according to alternate colors. Our page with solitaire types and families classifies the most common solitaire games according to their type and family. The type of gameplay can also be used to classify solitaire games (builders, packers, non-builders). There are different solitaire game types, depending on whether all cards are visible at the start or not (closed games, half-open games, open games). These are of course all played with one or multiple decks of playing cards, but there are also other commonalities between certain games. Over 500 different solitaire variants exist.
