![]() Avira Antivirus Trial Version and Money-Back Guarantee On the other hand, the Avira Free Antivirus is fast, reliable, and very easy to use. Finally, customer support is very limited for the free antivirus, and that means inexperienced users that are trying to test the product out won’t get the help they need. Again, the Phantom VPN only allows you to use 500MB of traffic per month, which isn’t enough.įurthermore, for some reason, every single tool/module should be installed separately. It will reduce system lags, get rid of junk files, and speed everything up. And while System Speedup is significantly limited compared to the paid editions (especially Prime), it is still capable of boosting overall performance. The Password Manager creates passwords that are very hard to crack. For example, Privacy Pal is excellent at optimizing 200+ privacy settings. But if you get used to the advertisements, you’ll see that this is quite a powerful antivirus that won’t cost you anything and will serve without a time limit. Plus, it will block any potentially dangerous websites, help you shop safely, and turn into a digital shadow with the VPN (it comes with a 500MB/month limit).Īvira Free “attacks” the user with dozens of ads, and they can only be turned off by upgrading to the Pro version. With it, you’ll get malware protection, a password generator, and a scanner that checks the network for vulnerabilities. By choosing the package, the number of devices and the duration of the subscription, you can “fine-tune” Avira to meet your personal needs.Īs mentioned, Avira offers one of the most capable free editions on the market. This will be a good pick for owners of small businesses that want to protect a network of computers. Premium mobile apps are also only available with this plan.Īnd, while all the other paid plans can only protect up to five devices, with Prime, you can secure an unlimited number of connections. It includes 30 tools that are capable of optimizing system performance. System Speedup Pro is another essential feature of the Prime package. It removes the VPN data cap and offers unlimited bandwidth for keeping your anonymity online 24/7. Everything is done automatically, which means you won’t have to worry about updating your software, drivers, or keeping passwords safe and secure.Īvira Prime: This is the most advanced and the most expensive Avira package. Other than that, it is just like Avira Free.Īvira Internet Security Suite: With the IS suite, users get Password Manager Pro (protection for online accounts) and Software Updater Pro. You’ll also be free from any types of ads thanks to the built-in ad-blocker (the company’s own pop-ups will also go away). ![]() The following prices are true for the one-device plans, except for Prime (5 devices):Īvira Antivirus Pro: The biggest advantage of the Pro edition over Free is customer support and ransomware protection.

![]() ![]() The seven cubs, made up of five boys and two girls, were first introduced to visitors back in February and have had endless fun settling into their new home throughout the year. The two litters of cubs were born to ten-year-old female Scar (mother to Hunter, Hercules, and Hernatty) and seven-year-old female Amber (mother to Harabi, Hodge, Havoc and Hira), within three weeks of each other and are all half brothers and sisters. ![]() ![]() Our females are also flourishing, with Hira bringing the ‘sass’ to the pack and Natty showing her maternal side with her mother Scar.” For example, Hercules and Hunter are both very placid boys who really enjoy exploring and seeing what the keepers are up to, but then on the other hand we have Havoc, a playful soul that likes nothing more than fooling around with his older relatives and even trying to push the buttons of his Grandmother, Kayli. “ The cubs all interact really well together, and we have been able to see their range of different personalities come out, which has been brilliant. The cubs love to have fun destroying things, and all types enrichment – boxes, paper bags or even trees in the reserve – are regularly chewed and ripped apart as part of their play. Kate Atkinson, Senior Carnivore Keeper, said, “All of the cubs have grown in confidence over the past year and it’s been great to observe them as they mature and develop. Even the adult lions couldn’t resist joining in the fun, rolling around with the cubs and showing age is just a number! As soon as the cubs left their sleeping quarters, they were instantly drawn to the mysterious parcels and spent the morning feasting, playing and having a ‘roar-some’ time together. To celebrate the occasion, keepers created a range of giant eye-catching, animal themed gift boxes, which were filled with tasty treats and placed inside the lion reserve. The youngsters, born on 27 August and 17 September 2019, have been a popular sight at the Worcestershire attraction over the last year and although are still referred to as ‘cubs’ by their team of keepers, they are more like adventurous teens. Staff at West Midland Safari Park have thrown a big, ‘king-of-the-jungle-sized’ birthday party for their seven lion cubs, who are all celebrating their first birthday this year. ![]() ![]() All the detail that has gone into the backdrops, locations and character designs is incredibly impressive. It’s inspired by Eastern European woodblock printing and it’s a style that suits the game perfectly. Tails of Iron has many drawcards, but perhaps the most alluring of all is the game’s art style, which utilises a hand-drawn style that looks like a medieval storybook – it’s simply phenomenal. Redgi survives the invasion and vows to not only restore his kingdom to its former greatness but avenge his father’s death and eliminate the frog threat once and for all. One day after defeating his brother in a fight to see who would be crowned the next king, Redgi’s kingdom is invaded by an evil frog army led by Greenwart who murder countless innocent rats, including his father, King Rattus. The game’s story follows the journey of a young rat named Redgi who is one of the heirs to the Rat Throne. But I was ready to step up to the challenge and help my rat brethren. The only catch – the game’s Souls-inspired brutal challenging combat, a genre that has had my measure numerous times. Every now and then a video game comes along featuring a rat protagonist in a premise and setting that makes my whiskers tingle, and the latest one to do so is the 2D side-scrolling action-adventure RPG Tails of Iron from Odd Bug Studio and United Label. Growing up on a diet of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Street Sharks, and Redwall I developed a love for anthropomorphic warriors, which has carried across into my taste in video games. ![]() ![]() Image: Garrett Bradley, AMERICA, 2019 (film still), Multi-channel video installation 35mm film transferred to HD video (black and white, 5. The exhibition runs from 10 September 2022 – 19 February 2023. 'American Rhapsody' features a selection of recent single- and multi-channel films and videos, including America (2019), in which Bradley constructs a visual archive of early African American cinema and poignantly asks what it might mean to model a history of black visuality and representation that privileges depictions of pleasure over spectacles of pain. Employing a collaborative and research-based approach to filmmaking, Bradley explores the space between fact and fiction, embracing modes of working and of representing history that blur the boundaries between traditional notions of narrative and documentary cinema. ' Garrett Bradley: American Rhapsody' is the first solo museum presentation of the work of the Los Angeles- and New Orleans-based artist and filmmaker.īradley works across narrative, documentary, and experimental modes of filmmaking to address themes such as race, class, familial relationships, social justice, southern culture, and the history of film in the United States.

This dress was one of those things- it’s a beautiful silk dress that is kind of pre-wrinkled and flowy- perfect for a rainy museum day. In addition to the Grand Avenue location are The Geffen Contemporary at MOCA and MOCA Pacific Design Center. I was looking through my 30×30 clothes and noticed that there were several items that I haven’t worn yet. MOCA has several locations in Los Angeles. It was actually raining like crazy here (like the first day in four months or something), so we didn’t take any photos until we got home. TIP: If you take the METRO, bring your subway or bus ticket for 2 for 1 entrance tickets! And, if you live on the East Coast- don’t fret! It’s moving to Washington D.C.

(There are changing rooms if you bring your own suit and everyone is monitored by a lifeguard!) (Maybe that’s just me!) All the pieces were hands on and you could even buy a disposable bathing suit and swim in the heat pool inside the museum.

It’s an easy way to make money and is often accompanied by backdoors that secretly collect and sell your data to advertisers. Forced adsīy sneaking an ad-serving tracker into your browser, some free VPN providers force you to watch their ads on every page you visit. This malware could steal personal information like passwords, social security number or even contain ransomware that locks your device. In a study on free Android VPN services, CSIRO found that a whopping 38% of these highly-rated apps, with millions of downloads, contained malware. By supplying the majority of free VPN services and intercepting the data, China has created a vast industrial espionage network with minimum effort and willing participants. In a review in 2019 of Google and Apple’s app stores, 60% of popular free VPN apps were secretly Chinese-owned and 90% had serious privacy flaws. You might be surfing with a free VPN service that originates in China, then your data is shared with Chinese authorities. They pay their bills by selling the data they collect about you and your browsing habits to advertisers and governments. There are many free VPN services out there, but running a VPN service with tens or hundreds of servers cost money, so how do they pay their bills? If your VPN provider keeps these logs or is unclear on the subject, look somewhere else. One of the main reasons to get a VPN is to avoid getting tracked by advertisers and your ISP in the first place. Your physical location, if IP is included in the logs.A list of which apps and services you use on your devices.All content of messages you’ve sent or received on unencrypted channels.A list of all the websites you visited.These logs, sometimes called traffic logs, are records of every interaction your IP address has made, every website you visited, every file you downloaded. When VPN companies promise they are a “no-logs provider”, usage logs are the logs they are talking about. Diagnostic data you send following a crash.Ĭonnection logs can be used to identify your computer and because of this some companies, like ExpressVPN, promise to never keep them.Witch VPN server you are connecting to.The IP address you originally connected from.When you connected to the VPN server and for how long.In best cases they are limited and anonymized, but they could include: Any VPN provider that limits the number of connections per user has to keep these logs in order to enforce this limit. These logs help the VPN provider to monitor the workload of each server, manage traffic and prevent abuse. Some VPN providers clearly state they do not keep logs at all, or just the required time by law, but they are not all truthful. The information about your browsing habits is saved in logs, these logs can be subpoenaed and made available by law enforcement. When using a VPN, the VPN provider will know everything about your browsing habits since all information from your computer goes through their servers. While they do protect your privacy, that protection comes at a cost and if you’re not paying attention, your information could be leaked. ![]() ![]() ![]() We combine large-scale, ab initio electronic structure calculations and the maximally-localised Wannier function (MLWF) approach in order to study the electronic properties of complex nanostructures. Maximally-localised Wannier functions as building blocks of electronic structure Finally, I will show an example of synergy between molecular-dynamics simulation and geometric simulation in the field of protein structure prediction. This in turn allows us to address flexible (slow, low-energy) motions in proteins using the technique of "geometric simulation". Rigidity analysis provides a natural coarse-graining for a simplified model of protein motion. So, we can apply rigidity analysis to protein structures (as obtained from X-ray or neutron crystallography) and identify rigid substructures. The "Molecular Framework Conjecture" states that the "pebble game" is valid for networks with nearest-neighbour and next-nearest-neighbour constraints, or equivalently, to frameworks with fixed bond lengths and angles and variable dihedral angles. ![]() The "pebble game" algorithm can rapidly identify the rigid and stressed regions of a two-dimensional framework. It has been known since Maxwell that a count of degrees of freedom and constraints can establish if a structure is, overall, floppy, rigid or stressed (overconstrained).

I will explain how a non-equilibrium steady-state (Hershfield's) density matrix can be defined, why it is related the physical (Schwinger-Keldysh) construction of steady states, and how the dynamics can be encoded into conditions on the Hilbert space ("impurity conditions"). It is a new theoretical framework that I developed recently in the interacting resonant level model (IRLM). After reviewing the topic of quantum impurities with relevant experiments and theoretical ideas, I will present aspects of some recent progress I made. With the present experimental interest in quantum dots and other mesoscopic objects submitted to electric currents, an efficient theoretical framework for studying quantum impurities in non-equilibrium steady states is much needed. ![]() Quantum impurities in non-equilibrium steady states ![]() ![]() Eventually the young Olympians prevailed, and they threw the Titans that stood against them into the prison of Tartarus, which Poseidon outfitted with new, powerful bronze gates to hold them there. With his siblings rallied behind him, and the help of the sons of Mother Earth who Zeus freed from Tartarus, the war of the gods began. Metis then tricked Cronus into eating a herb that caused his regurgitation of the other original Olympians. Other traditions suggest that Zeus befriended or even married Metis, the daughter of one of the Titans and the goddess of prudence. In some versions of the story, he disguised himself as a cupbearer and snuck his father a poison that made him ill, forcing Cronus to vomit out his five children. Determined to overthrow his father, Zeus knew that he needed his powerful brothers and sisters. The baby boy was Zeus, and he was raised by nymphs until he came of age. However, when their mother, Rhea, gave birth again, she hid the youngest son and instead wrapped a stone in a blanket, presenting it to Cronus to eat. ![]() As a result, Cronus immediately swallowed his first five children, Hades, Poseidon, Hera, Demeter, and Hestia. In Greek mythology, at the time of Poseidon’s birth, his father, the Titan Cronus, had learned of a prophecy stating that he would be overthrown by his own child. The Rise of the Olympians Birth of Poseidon: God of the Sea Although the sea gods of the two cultures originated separately, in fact Neptune was initially a god of freshwater, their similarities caused both cultures to adopt some of the mythology of the other. Poseidon is usually depicted as riding in a chariot pulled by horses or dolphins, and always wielding his signature trident. In works by Home, the Classical Greek poet who authored epic poems such as the Odyssey and Iliad, Poseidon is said to have a home near Aegae. Where does Poseidon live?Īlthough he spent much of his time with the other gods on Mount Olympus, the Greek god Poseidon also had his own magnificent palace on the ocean floor, made of coral and gemstones. ![]() The sea was his primary domain, and though he received worship from numerous inland cities as well, the most fervent prayers came from sailors and fishermen venturing out onto the unpredictable waters of the Mediterranean. In many traditions, Poseidon is the creator of the very first horse, which he is said to have designed as a reflection of the beauty of rolling waves and surf. ![]() Although best known for being the Greek god of the sea, Poseidon was also considered the god of earthquakes, and often referred to as the earth shaker. ![]() ![]() ![]() Hidden and destructive objects (including beer kegs) with surprising status effects will turn the tide of battle for the better.Epic boss battles where you’ll have to muster both strength and smarts to emerge victorious!.An expansive bestiary (more than 100 enemies!) pushing you to think more tactically with every fight.An adaptive difficulty system: from an accessible and fun story mode with simplified combat to the “nightmare mode” where the smallest tactical errors will doom you!.Exciting turn-based battles, with creative support mechanics between team members.Choose one of three additional companions to join the team on their adventure!.Every member of the team has their own skill tree to upgrade their abilities and equipment.Play with seven classic role-playing game characters complementing each other’s skills as you level them up: the Ranger, the Elf, the Dwarf, the Barbarian, the Magician, the Ogre and the Thief!.Now the story is available in English and as a video game for the first time!

There’s little interaction with these guys though, you can’t command them or tell them where to go, they just trail along behind you but the extra firepower comes in very handy when you meet the Strogg in force. New to the Quake series with Quake 4 is the frequent squad based gameplay that sees you teaming up with various characters to achieve objectives set for you as you play through the game. In the first few minutes of play you’ll spend time just having a mooch around and appreciating the scenery and the outside sections, though not large, do convey a sense of being in the middle of a battle. Of the previous efforts, I’d argue that Quake 2 had the most atmosphere and feeling of a war going on around you and Quake 4 nicely builds on that. Sticking with the graphics for a little longer, it has to be said that the game world is far more detailed and realistic than any previous Quake games, but id have managed to get across that ‘Quake feeling’ very well indeed. In fact, purely as a first impression, I couldn’t help but think that Quake 4 is the game Doom 3 should have been! On the graphics front the original Quake was very brown, Quake 2 was brown and grey and now Quake 4 may well end up being known as Doom 3 under a new name. The first thing that you’ll notice as soon as you get into the meat of Quake 4 is just how similar it looks to Doom 3. In fact, early on in the game one of the AI characters tell you all about the lone marine who managed to destroy the ‘Big Gun’ and allow the invasion to continue, which is the role you played in Quake 2. Quake 4 picks up where Quake 2 left off with the Marines continuing their attack on the Strogg home planet.
