8/19/2023 0 Comments Summary of ozymandias![]() If you don’t have those then in the long run you are a “colossal wreck.” Thus, the perfectly composed scene itself, the Egyptian imagery, and the Biblical backstory convey a perennial message and make this a great poem. If all ordinary pursuits, such as power and fame, are but dust, what remains, the poem suggests, are spirituality and morality-embodied by the ancient Hebrew faith. If the forces of time, history, and nature can take down the Egyptian civilization, it begs the question, “Who’s next?” Additionally, Ozymandias is believed to have been the villainous pharaoh who enslaved the ancient Hebrews and who Moses led the exodus from. In terms of lost civilizations that show the ephemeralness of human pursuits, there is no better example than the Egyptians-who we associate with such dazzling monuments as the Sphinx and the Great Pyramid at Giza (that stands far taller than the Statue of Liberty)-yet who completely lost their spectacular language, culture, and civilization. There are yet more layers of meaning here that elevate this into one of the greatest poems. ![]() Success, fame, power, money, health, and prosperity can only last so long before fading into “lone and level sands.” But, beyond that there is a perennial lesson about the inescapable and destructive forces of time, history, and nature. The image of a dictator-like king whose kingdom is no more creates a palpable irony. Yet, all that’s left of the statue are his legs, which tell us it was huge and impressive the shattered head and snarling face, which tell us how tyrannical he was and his inscribed quote hailing the magnificent structures that he built and that have been reduced to dust, which tells us they might not have been quite as magnificent as Ozymandias imagined. This king is still regarded as the greatest and most powerful Egyptian pharaoh. In this winding story within a poem, Shelley paints for us the image of the ruins of a statue of ancient Egyptian king Ozymandias, who is today commonly known as Ramesses II. The theme in Shelley’s poem seems to be that nothing lasts forever, even the most powerful have to fade and decay, and with time their greatness and power, too, will be forgotten. Shelley ends his poem with a sense of how nature is eternal, which he portrays in the vastness of the desert’s sands. The traveller says the “sneer and the cold command” on the statue’s face is the only remnant of this ancient civilization’s ruler. The crumbled statue represents a cruel ruler’s dream of power and its lasting place alongside eternity, which has been reduced to a traveller’s curiosity and further emphasized in the ironic words on the pedestal. ![]() The imagery presented by Shelley is that of a fallen king that once ruled with absolute authority.

8/19/2023 0 Comments Pixel 3 hearthstone![]() ![]() ![]() It's true, 4GB of RAM on a flagship in 2018 is basically unheard of. A couple of international journalists documented and filmed an aggressive behavior in multitasking management on the Pixel 3, when compared to other devices such as OnePlus 6 that have twice as much system memory. The main complaint Google has to deal with does not concern the hardware used, but the lack of RAM - only 4GB is available on the Pixel 3. 100 days with the Pixel 2XL: so flawless it's boring.Just look at the incredible fluidity of the Pixel 2, which sports the even older Snapdragon 835 and is still more responsive than many smartphones equipped with the latest generation chip. However, this does not mean that the Snapdragon 845 will suddenly become less functional. New top-of-the-range smartphones are already expected to hit the market during the first quarter of 2019. Unfortunately, this chipset will soon be replaced by a newer version. The CPU is comprised of 8 cores (4x 2.8GHz Kryo 385 Gold and 4x1.7GHz Kryo 385 Silver) and runs at the nominal frequency - no overclocking or underclocking at Google. This is the best mobile chipset available at the moment, if we look only at the American companies. Just to recap, under the hood of the new Google Pixel 3 and 3 XL you can find a SoC Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 with an Adreno 630 GPU. Yes and no - it depends on your point of view. What matters, in the end, is how much you enjoy using your smartphone every day. Obviously, your performance expectations and experience will vary according to you daily use.

In a statement about the ruling on its website, Blizzard said the players had been for "engaging in behavior disruptive to the official esports broadcast."

Someone - Hagrid? - derisively said muggles are great at not noticing magic even when it's right in front of their nose, because they don't want to see it, but Fudge. Re-reading them for the umpteenth time at an older age, I realized just how much of a commentary the whole thing is, particularly the Ministry, and Umbridge's twisted abuse of power and the baffling human ability for denial illustrated by Fudge sticking his head in the sand. The first few are all starry-eyed and innocent, and then it gets really dark. I've always loved how Harry Potter grows up with you as a reader. They definitely both have the same "peacock full of hot air" thing going on Stephen Fry's voicing of Lockhart reminds me pretty closely of Kenneth Brannagh's although it's been a while sine I watched the movies. I'm pretty inactive in terms of posting on deviantart, and sporadic at best, but I always check and look at other people's (much better) art. Still don't do much gaming but now I can actually name a few (barely enough to make it plural) that I've actually played. Okami is awesome! It's what got me drawing a bit more. It was dated by multiple years, particularly my favorite games have changed. Oh yeah, I found that and updated it a bit. The range of emotions, the suspense, the feeling you're left with when the ending unfolds. I especially LOVE the episode "Heaven Sent", I think it was his absolutely best up to now. Have you seen yet Peter Capaldi's 12th Doctor seasons? He's simply amazing. Star Trek: TNG comes very close, but it only aired for 7 years, and Doctor Who has 53. Its pretty long to wait between each seasons, and there's only 3 episodes per season, but its worth the wait everytime!Īs for Doctor Who, I have yet to find a show beat it in its awesomeness. Watson, its the same time, Martin Freeman is just so perfect against Cumberbatch's Holmes. I never thought someone would play well Mycroft Holmes, yet Mark Gatiss is dead-on. I sincerely prefer tenfold Sherlock over Elementary, and the actors are just so perfect in each roles. Its amazing how Rowling managed it (and more amazingly, how the filmmakers succeeded to keep the movies faithful). No one really understand how mature the franchise actually got through the years when that name is ushered, every one around me goes: "Oh, that children stuff?", and it saddens me, because it was actually worthy of an adult's attention. My favourite books and movies are the 3rd, 5th, 6th, and 7th/8th. I only know Kenneth Brannagh's Lockhart, which was in itself a very accurate performance. Hehe, that must be something, Stephen Fry as Lockhart.

This can be useful if you want to publish products in WooCommerce without the sync event overwriting images, descriptions, etc that you may have setup in WooCommerce but not Lightspeed. On the initial import of a Lightspeed product into WooCommerce, all the product properties will be present, however on subsequent updates the Selective Sync settings allow you, for example, to only have “Stock Quantity” and “Regular Price” and “Sale Price” be synced from Lightspeed on a sync event. You can select which product properties should get updated for WooCommerce when pulling data from Lightspeed If the Lightspeed Sale Price is $0.00, this setting will set the Sale Price of the corresponding WooCommerce product to an empty value. Plugin default will use the eco setting which results in smaller files of slightly lower visual quality. The options are low, better (eco), or best.

"My cousin was alive when he flagged the police. The manner of death was not determined, the coroner's report said. "An unarmed Black man, in obvious mental distress was savagely attacked and repeatedly tased, in clear violation of LAPD policy, by several trained officers, and the innocent life of a little five-year-old boy will be forever changed as a result," the statement read. Minutes after Anderson was subdued, fire department personnel treated him, at which point Anderson became unconscious with labored breathing, the medical examiner's office said. LAPD Chief Michel Moore later said that only a "single Taser activation" had occurred followed by what he believed were several ineffective "dry stun" attempts. "They're trying to George Floyd me," he says.Īn officer uses a Taser on Anderson at least six times, at one point deploying the stun gun for about 30 seconds uninterrupted. "Please, please, please, please, please," Anderson yells. One officer appears to put his elbow across Anderson's neck. Anderson then bolts on foot from officers, who pursue and restrain him. He says he needs water and wants to make sure people can see him. Video picks up again when Anderson is seen standing up again.

This persona-kindness is actually just a derivation of Christian sentimentality, a problem to which I will return later. It is an escape that serves to avoid finding out and adequately expressing one’s true feelings, which are not always kind and all-bearing, and an escape from ongoing frictions and collisions of feeling. Naturally the false kindness and all-bearing friendliness, which certain analysts show to their patients, following the model of the general practitioner’s persona style, is just as wrong. It should never be used for the feeling relationship, which builds up in the course of the encounter in therapy. Therefore we might conclude that the word “transference” should only be used in an intentional way to address some illusory projections on the side of the patient or the doctor. “Uniqueness” lies simply and solely in the relationship between individuated persons who have no other relationships at all except individual, i.e., unique ones. “Transference” consists in the illusion of its uniqueness, when seen Pom the collective and conventional standpoint. The so-called dissolution of the transference often consists in ceasing to describe the nature of one’s relationship as “transference.” This designation degrades the relationship as a mere projection, which it is not. He met every patient with his own personal feeling reactions, positive and negative, making the analytic hours a “personal encounter” and not a “treatment.” The fashion in some Jungian circles of developing technical means of approaching a patient, such as having to discuss the transference and countertransfer-ence, is nothing but a regression into pre-Jungian modes of thought. Jung broke up the white-coat-distance, in which the doctor treats his patient as if he were an impersonal object. Because he refused to join in with such erroneous views, Jung was accused of being “unscientific,” while, in fact, it is just the other way around. All mathematical procedures in science do this. Thus we construct by our thinking function a model of reality and then mix it up illegitimately with reality itself. In a heap of stones the average stone may weigh one kilo, but we might not find in actuality one single stone which weighs exactly one kilo! But Jung pointed out that the results of statistics represent a thinking or mental abstraction and not reality as it is. But, these terrifying facts are known, and I want therefore to turn to more immediate manifestations of the problem.įirst in our own field, psychology, the statistical methods of the natural sciences have conquered the field at the universities. ![]() In ways that accustom them to saying: “In an atomic war we will lose, say, 60 million people that means that we can still survive with 85 million-so we could risk it!” They must do that it’s their job but they do not even seem shocked or depressed by it. Eighty-four years have elapsed since then and where are we now in those respects? The cruel torture of animals has multiplied a thousand times, even into agricultural activities, and has extended to the torture of man in concentration camps all over the world! Military experts think Then Jung resumes Kant’s idea that only the belief in realities beyond the coarse material world can guarantee the assumption of such a moral attitude. Above all, in such institutions as these, I say, we must teach that no truth obtained by such means has the moral right to exist” (1897/1983, ♡38. In institutions which offer training in physiology, the moral judgment of students is deliberately impaired by their involvement in disgraceful, barbarous experiments, by a cruel torture of animals which is a mockery of all human decency. (1897/1983, ♦8)Īfter a strongly polemical attack on materialism in general, Jung then continues by asserting that we should start a “revolution” on the part of our leading minds “by forcing morality on science and its exponents. God and the other world are the sole goal of all our philosophical investigations, and if the concepts of God and the other world had nothing to do with morality they would be worthless. All metaphysical speculation is directed to this end. It is the holy and inviolable thing that we must protect, and it is also the reason and purpose of all our speculation and inquiries. In one of them, he quoted Kant who wrote: When he was a twenty-one to twenty-three-year-old student, Jung gave four lectures to his co-students in the fraternity Zofingia in Basel.

Instead, they say, the best slogans often are the tried and true-especially when people remember these old campaigns as if they’d just heard them. “It’s the best way to leverage the fact that you’ve been in business for a while,” said Houman Pirdavari, art director at Timex’s Minneapolis ad firm, Fallon McElligott.Īdvertisers who are reusing these slogans insist that the trend is not because of some sort of creativity dearth. And for nostalgia’s sake, the new Timex ads even feature the old recordings of stalwart spokesman Swayze verifying that the watch is, indeed, still ticking. And a new commercial scheduled to be broadcast next month shows a psychic with special powers who is able to bend a key and a fork, but naturally can’t get the Timex to tick its last tock.Īnother new Timex ad that will run next month features an opera singer whose shrill voice breaks every object in the opera hall-except the Timex. One ad, which has been running for months, features Timex watches that are strapped to the bellies of two Sumo wrestlers. So, Timex went back to the future, dusted off its old slogan and added a few funny modern twists. “Keep in mind, we hadn’t used that slogan in our ads for 10 years.” “Just about everyone said, ‘It takes a licking and keeps on ticking,’ ” said Ron Sok, manager of advertising at Timex. ![]() In the case of Timex, the company asked 2,000 consumers what they remembered most about the watch maker.
