Contact your debit card company (often your bank) and ask if they have any voluntary protections. You may not be able to get a refund for non-delivery. If you paid by debit card, the consumer protections are different than they are for credit cards. You must dispute the error within 60 days of the date your first statement with the error on it was sent to you. To protect any rights you may have, also send a letter to the address listed for billing disputes or errors. File a dispute online or by phone with your credit card company. If you never got your order and the charge appears on your credit card statement, you can dispute it as a billing error. If the seller hasn’t shipped the item within the timeframe they promised when you bought it, you can cancel the order. If you bought something online and never got it, notify the seller as soon as possible. Share your experience on social media: companies monitor social media and may reply if they see you’re dissatisfied with their response to your complaint.Consider getting help from a consumer organization like Call for Action, Consumer Action, or the Better Business Bureau.Write a complaint letter: we have advice to help you do that and a sample letter.If you qualify for a return but the seller won’t give you your money back, you have some options: For most payment types, the seller must give you a refund within 7 business days of accepting the return. But what if a seller won’t give you a refund even though you qualify for it? Or what if you ordered something and never got it?Ī seller’s return policy should tell you if you can return the item for a refund and how to do that. Haven’t we all bought stuff online when we could easily run to the store (figuratively, of course) and be back home in less than 30 minutes?

![]() It is new, but it has been acting strange since I bought it. But what I think is the problem is the GPU. I do understand hardware plays a bug role. ![]() I tried those, unfortunatelly it seams that this is simply a hardware related for the tips. ![]() I started right where you are so know all the issues you face, but I committed to investing in a better computer and now, many years later, I can play any game plus design maps Experiencer It's really worth it in the end.įS15 runs great on a GTX660ti, 8GB RAM and any 2x core non-celeron processor. The best solution, if you love these types of games, is to upgrade/invest in a better computer, not the latest or greatest, just a better PC suited to gaming. Your video card is a GT 730 which is also a very low end device(perfect for facebook games and any 2D games but not for 3D games) Your RAM is 4GB on a 64bit operating system that can use up to 64GB so you should have your motherboard checked(or read the manual) to see how much RAM it can hold as your really need 8GB of RAM, this simple RAM upgrade could solve many issues. You are running a Celeron processor that is prone to rejection with so many games that I have lost count, and it is operating on just one thread which so the game is really pushing that part of your computer, I would say that your CPU is running at 100% most of the time to run this game.

While it’s not free, Affinity Photo is a very powerful tool, and in our opinion, worth the price. This means that Affinity Photo costs approximately as much as 7 months of the Adobe Photography Plan (Photoshop + Lightroom), as much as about 3 months of the Adobe Photoshop Single App Plan, or just over the cost of the Adobe Creative Cloud All Apps plan for just about 1.5 months. It can go as low as $40.99 and $99.99 respectively with discounts. Affinity Photo 2 costs $69.99 if you buy it standalone, or $169.99 if you buy the Universal License for all the Affinity Apps. Affinity Photo is cheaper than Photoshop. Is Affinity Photo 2 Cheaper Than Photoshop? We’ll dive into that in a detailed article soon. That said, many of the popular plugins like Topaz Labs Photo AI, DeNoise AI, Sharpen AI, ON1 Plugins, DxO PhotoLab, Nik Collection (DxO) and Skylum Luminar do work quite well with Affinity Photo as plugins. Yes, Affinity Photo can use Photoshop Plugins, but not all plugins work seamlessly. Advertisements Advertisements Can Affinity Photo Use Photoshop Plugins? It simply means that you may have to reconfigure them once they’re imported. This doesn’t mean that you can’t use Photoshop Brushes. This means that some brushes won’t work the same way that they do in Photoshop even if they import. Yes, and no… While Affinity Photo can import and use Photoshop Brushes (.abr files), Affinity Photo has different attributes in its brush tool. Can Affinity Photo Use Photoshop Brushes? And probably most importantly, the price is low, so the barrier to entry without piracy is quite low too. There is a good support system and community around Affinity Photo, so people can learn and grow together. It is full-featured, so beginners can use Photoshop tutorials to understand the basics even if the software looks and works slightly differently from Photoshop. It is light, with little system overheads, so beginners with slower computers will also be able to use it quite well. In my opinion, Affinity Photo is a great app for beginners to start learning the basics of photo editing. ![]() AdvertisementsĪll Affinity apps have a 30-day trial period, so you can try them out extensively before deciding whether to buy them or not. That said, the price is very low, given the power that Affinity Photo holds, and in our view, Affinity Photo 2 is definitely worth the price. Unlike Apple, Serif does not have a subscription plan for the Affinity Suite. ![]() Affinity Apps cost less than their Adobe equivalents, and the Universal License makes it even cheaper and more affordable. We strongly suggest trying it out before you buy it. No, Affinity Photo is not Free, but it does have a 30-day free trial. As a consequence, Affinity Photo is a great starting point for any person who is learning how to edit and retouch photographs. Does Affinity Photo 2 Require High-end Hardware?Īffinity Photo’s hardware requirements begin at a low threshold but quickly scale up to be able to handle large and complex files. We suggest that you use the free trial period to experiment with WINE and Affinity Photo before you make the purchase. However, there have been reports of success in running it on Linux/Chrome OS using Wine. Do You Have Any More Questions?

If you haven’t had the pleasure of attending Gold Coast, I strongly encourage you to put it on your radar screen for 2018. And a big thank you to the many contractors who attended the session and asked great questions–so many, in fact, that some people stuck around 30 minutes after the session ended to chat. Thank you also to the fine folks of the San Diego Contracting Opportunities Center and American Indian Chamber Education Fund PTAC for sharing their booth. The agency places a lifetime cap of two mentors for each protg. While the general cap is for one mentor at a time, SBA may approve a second so long as the additional mentor will provide unique forms of assistance. Thank you very much to the San Diego chapter of the National Defense Industrial Association for sponsoring this fantastic event and inviting me to speak. As with mentors, protgs are also restricted in the number of mentors allowed at one time. Receiving great information at the 2023 SBA Mentor Protg Conference.

But our perspective on heroism has changed. Fighting wrong in other countries to help protect people who you’ve never met… that’s something truly indescribable. Soldiers who die in the line of fire are brave beyond brave. I mean, I get the feeling that we don’t generally consider it to be a brave and noble thing to die for your country. We need to understand what the poem says about how Victorians viewed heroes, and to know how we view heroes too. They’re often about heroic values too – what makes a hero, what does heroism look like to different cultures? Epics feature heroes that embody the qualities of a hero at that time in that country – they very much reflect the ideals and values of the time, how that culture viewed a hero. What do epics have in common? They are long, lengthy poems about heroic deeds. He wrote poems about mythology, about England, about King Arthur… all fantastically epic stuff. It also gave us Tennyson, who liked a bit of epic himself. The Victorian time gave us epics, and it gave us Dickens. That early start gave him all the practice he needed to become a poetry giant, if not THE poetry giant of all. Certainly beats obsessing over boy bands and reading Judy Blume like I was doing aged twelve, anyway. Tennyson was a fan of epics and at the age of twelve, he’d already written an epic 6000-line poem. He was born in 1809 in the Lincolnshire Wolds to a father who was the rector in a church. Then it’s up to you to think about how much of that is important for how it relates to the poem, just as you will do with Ozymandias and with My Last Duchess. That said, now I am going to tell you the context, and I am going to harp on about it. Don’t harp on about it because writing too much about it is as effective as drawing a triangle and working out the hypoteneuse. ![]() So when it comes to context, know it but don’t harp on about it. Your ability to write a page about the causes of the conflict in the Crimea in the 1850s is wonderful. Context and/or perspectives and/or ideas. Remember too that the mark for context also covers a mark for perspectives and/or ideas. In other words, what do you need to know to make sense of the poem? What I want to know is how the context of the poem was important for the content of the poem. If you’re reaching your third sentence on context, you have gone too far! If you are telling your examiner what happened in the Charge of the Light Brigade, you’re also going into an essay dead end. Full paragraphs about Tennyson or about the Battle of Balaclava will be treated as if they are an incongruous little physics equation or chemical calculation or artwork in the middle of your essay… nice, but not the domain of English Literature, and fairly unmarkable for the average GCSE English Literature student. Don’t forget that you are not writing a GCSE History essay and you are not expected to write more than a couple of sentences here and there where it is relevant. In terms of context, what you may want to know is a little about Tennyson and a little about the battle itself. It recounts a battle between the British and the Russian forces in the Battle of Balaclava in 1854 and it precedes later poems in the Power and Conflict section of the AQA GCSE English Literature poetry anthology such as Bayonet Charge and Exposure where conflict is explored in a critical way. ![]() ![]() The Charge of the Light Brigade by Tennyson is a poem that recounts extreme acts of valour and patriotism. ![]() ![]() ![]() Right click on any image and click on extract text from context menu to extract the text from an Image.

The strace utility provides invaluable information in diagnosing and debugging performance issues. To solve the slow loading issue, the web site PHP code has to be modified to avoid such blocking connections that can significantly slow down site performance. So we have a tcp connection to port 443 on the masked IP address, which just times out after 30 seconds, slowing down the page load. The output from the script shows us where we might want to investigate further: Our timefilter script identifies lines that are spaced apart by more than its argument (20 seconds in this case). There are many possible ways to do this, we chose to write a simple perl script to locate such lines in the sorted trace file: With the data sorted, we are now looking for traces that show long delays in process execution. We may get false positives when examining the sorted output if the time trace wraps around, and we’ll have to account for these cases). (Note this is just a simple tool that does not account for times wrapping around midnight – strace output does not provide date information. To make this information easier to narrow down, we can apply some tools – first we can remove non pid trace lines and sort the output by process id and then timestamp. We need to look for the symptom that is impacting performance, in our case a long delay between subsequent trace lines for the same process. The strace output is typically massive and includes large amounts of data that is not directly relevant to the problem we are trying to diagnose. Stop the strace process (hit Ctrl-C or your interrupt key) when done. The arguments to strace include printing microsecond data (-tt) and showing the time spent in system calls (-T). Now we can strace the process, redirect output to a file, and reproduce the problem (in this case reloading the homepage for the site) while strace is running: There should be one parent lsphp process and several children processes. Since the platform uses LiteSpeed, we’ll be looking for running lsphp processes. We’ll need the process id of the relevant PHP process. Using strace allows us to examine the behavior of PHP when handling requests. The strace command provides fine-grained information on an executing process. Most steps in How to improve my site’s performance were tried but none worked. Output from top command showed no significant traffic, server load was well below 1.

Tezcatlipoca had many epithets which alluded to different aspects of his deity and also point to his centrality in Aztec worship. They were used for shamanic rituals and prophecy, and as such Tezcatlipoca is additionally associated with divination. Tezcatlipoca is often translated from the Nahuatl as "smoking mirror." It alludes to his connection to obsidian, the material from which mirrors were made in Mesoamerica. It is possible that he is the same god that the Olmec and Maya term their "jaguar deity", or alternately that he is an Aztec expansion on foundations set by the Olmec and Maya, as the Aztecs routinely took deliberate inspiration from earlier Mesoamerican cultures. Although there are striking similarities between possible earlier imagery of Tezcatlipoca, archaeologists and art historians are split in the debate.

In the form of a jaguar he became the deity Tepeyollotl ("Mountainheart"). Tezcatlipoca's nagual, his animal counterpart, was the jaguar.
