![]() And due to improved multithreading in the DirectX libraries and drivers, installing DirectX 11 can boost performance over DirectX 10 even if the game was developed prior to DirectX 11. Avoid DirectX 10 and DirectX 11 With Low-Cost Graphics Cardsĭon’t get me wrong: DX10 and DX11 can offer substantial increases in 3D graphics image quality. Turn up this setting only after you’ve pumped up other image-quality settings and are still running at high frame rates. Maxing out shadow levels can often cause a huge decrease in performance. If you’re constantly on the move, you may notice an absence of shadows, but you’ll often not see the difference between medium shadows and high shadows. High shadow levels can seem very immersive–if you’re standing still. When you’re playing a game, you’re always in motion, and you probably won’t stop to gaze at the scenery. Low-resolution textures will still look ugly with antialiasing turned on. Sure, antialiasing removes annoying jaggies, but if you turn it on while the texture detail remains low, you’ll end up with a muddy mess. You may be tempted to start by cranking up the antialiasing. Pump Up Texture Detail and Anisotropy First You’ll often see better performance in the game, along with improved image quality. As an example, if the game allows you to set antialiasing, use that setting rather than the Windows control panel setting. Start optimizing your game performance via the in-game graphics control panels.The settings available in the game you’re playing are often more optimized than the global settings you can enable with the AMD or nVidia control panel. Windows XP users, however, may see differences–and some capabilities (namely, features specific to DirectX 10 and 11) simply aren’t available in XP.īefore we dive into the intricacies of in-game settings and graphics control panels, it’s worth discussing a few rules of thumb for prioritizing which settings to enable. They’ll likely work with Windows Vista too. I would be happy if my programs and external monitors would use AMD Graphics instead of integrated.Note that all of the following examples work with Windows 7. When i ran AMD driver check, it suddenly enabled Intel graphics and everything was back as it used to be. From Display properties it showed me of using Microsoft General Display Adapter or something like that. AMD FirePro settings were gone, instead i had Radeon settings, which prompted me that there is no display connected and I cant open it. Final try - disable Intel graphics from Device manager - didnt work either. At some point, it showed me that i have Radeon R9 instead (from device manager and Radeon Pro settings), when i installed some other drivers. Other solutions, including different drivers also dont work. Main solution doesnt work, cause 3510 doesnt have the option to turn off switchable graphics from BIOS.

Back Muscle - Robot's ability creates health and ammo, which means sometimes you will reach the max ammo capacity.Second Stomach - eating guns will heal you for double the amount.Throne Butt - choosing Throne Butt is always a welcome addition, as it will double the amount of consumables Robot receives.With Robot's passive ability 'Better Tech', it will also find stronger weapons sooner, making this character arguably the strongest in the early stages of the game (weapon wise). This allows the player to stock up on weapons with scarce ammo (Triple Machine Gun, Laser Minigun), making killing hordes of enemies that much easier.

Because you need one INBOX and one OUTBOX instruction per letter, you can only optimize the program by using fewer JUMPs for the same work. The trick is to do more work per JUMP instruction. The way to do so is called "loop unrolling". You're being asked to do it in 25 or fewer. Three instructions for ten letter is 30 steps. The average case that you're being compared with has ten letters. While you can solve the problem with as few as three instructions, that's three instructions per letter. ![]() In some cases, it's not possible to achieve acceptable scores for both criteria with the same program. When you get far enough in the game (year 7), you will be told that you will be graded on the size of your program, as well as its efficiency. In the following case, when "JUMP a" is reached, the program will start back over at "a:" above the INBOX command.) (When these solutions are typed out, the JUMP command will include a label, and the program will jump to that label. This creates a loop, and the worker will continuously execute those instructions until the IN conveyor is empty. After executing an INBOX and then an OUTBOX, we must JUMP back to the start of the program. To do this, we must use the JUMP command. A program will always stop if the worker hits an INBOX instruction, but there is nothing left on the IN conveyor belt. Since you don't know how many items you need to transfer, you'll want to write a program that continuously grabs from the IN conveyor belt, and drops to the OUT conveyor belt until you run out of items. The first time you try this program, you have an unspecified number of items on the IN conveyor. You can have the worker jump to a previous instruction in the program, or skip ahead to other instructions further below. JUMP When your worker encounters the jump command, he will "jump" to the instruction that follows after the blue box which you can drag to another point in your program. This year you are introduced to your third instruction: JUMP. ![]() In order not to let the matter escalate, he finally turned to Gauss, who had met Bessel in Bremen in 1807, with the request to obtain a degree from the University of Göttingen – which he succeeded in doing: Bessel received the doctorate and master’s degree honoris causa with a certificate dated 30 March 1811. A simultaneous offer to take over the already existing observatory of the University of Leipzig at considerably worse conditions was rejected by Bessel. Because of his lack of an academic degree, the professors of the Faculty of Philosophy denied him the right to give mathematical lectures, and Bessel ignored the objections and continued his mathematical teaching in the next semester. A doctorate was awarded by the University of Göttingen on the recommendation of Gauss, who had met Bessel in Bremen in 1807 and recognized his talents. On January 6, 1810, the Prussian King Frederick William III appointed Bessel as the first professor of astronomy at the Albertus University in Königsberg and as the director of the new observatory that was to be built, without having attended the upper classes of a grammar school, passed a school-leaving examination, studied, received his doctorate or habilitation. It was not possible for Bessel to receive a professorship without first being granted the title of doctor. He also observed comets and continued his study of celestial mechanics. In 1806 Bessel accepted the post of assistant at the Lilienthal Observatory, which gave him valuable experience observing planets, in particular Saturn, its rings and satellites. ![]() From that time on Bessel concentrated on astronomy, celestial mechanics and mathematics. The resulting paper, at the level required for a doctoral dissertation, was published on Olbers’ recommendation. ![]() As a comet expert, Olbers recognised at once the quality of Bessel’s work and arranged for its publication in the Monthly Correspondence. Subsequently, Olbers gave Bessel the task of making further observations to carry his work further. This gave Bessel the opportunity to make personal contact with Olbers. This brought him to the attention of a major figure of German astronomy at the time, Heinrich Wilhelm Olbers, the leading comet expert of his time. Olbers also lived in Bremen where he practised as a doctor. In 1804 Bessel wrote a paper on Halley’s comet, calculating the orbit using data from observations made by Thomas Harriot and William Lower in 1607. In this way, he was able to determine the longitude of Bremen himself with only a small error. When he observed a star occultation at the dark moon limb with his small telescope, he determined the time of the occultation and compared it with data he found in the journal Monatliche Correspondenz and the Berlin Astronomical Yearbook. He made his first measurements on August 16, 1803. With the help of a carpenter and a watchmaker, he built a sextant himself and invented the – later known as – circummeridian method for determining time, using two stars at approximately the same altitude. In practice, a navigator is dependent on instruments for measuring elevation angles of stars, which were financially unaffordable for Bessel. The business’s reliance on cargo ships led him to turn his mathematical skills to problems in navigation. At first Bessel received no salary from the firm. At the age of 14 Bessel was apprenticed to the import-export concern Kulenkamp & Sons at Bremen. Bessel attended the Gymnasium in Minden for four years but he did not appear to be very talented, finding Latin difficult, although he later succeeded in teaching the ancient language to himself. His father Carl Friedrich Bessel (1748-1828) was trained as a lawyer and at that time was employed as a government secretary in the Prussian civil service. His mother Friederike Ernestine Bessel née Schrader (1753-1814) was the daughter of a pastor in Rehme. Friedrich Wilhelm Bessel – Youth and Educationįriedrich Wilhelm Bessel was born in Minden, Westfalia, as the second child of a large family with six daughters and three sons. He is probably best known for his works in mathematics, where he discovered the eponymous Bessel-functions, which are critical for the solution of certain differential equations. On July 22, 1784, German mathematician and astronomer Friedrich Wilhelm Bessel was born. ![]() As for the gameplay, the first two acts focus on your ability to remain stealthy, act 3 focuses on your problem-solving skills. It requires a large amount of RAM to process but it does not take up your hard disk space. It is also a good addition to a PC Game’s catalog of games. Hello Neighbor is suitable for gamers that are interested in psychological thrillers and solving puzzles.

While the character design makes the game accessible to all age groups, it requires a strong processor to run it. Hello Neighbor balances its terrifying premise with 3D cartoony graphics. You must protect yourself and the boy from the neighbor and a large and terrifying shadow man. You must return to his house and investigate only to be greeted by a younger version of yourself. The difference is that the house is now larger and appears more complex. Similar to the first act, he wakes up to hear a child’s scream coming from his neighbor’s house. The game’s final act takes place in the future where your character is an adult moving back into his old home. While it is important that you escape, you will learn more about your neighbor’s past whenever he catches you escaping. ![]() To your surprise, you will see that it has grown including a large fence you will need to climb over.

That is why Atwood’s short story cunningly mocks writers who are obsessed with the commercial success of their books and do not hesitate to use trite plots for their love stories.Ītwood consistently uses second-person narrative alongside third-person narrative to emphasize the importance of the mainstream A ending. However, literary works are not usually subject to such scrutiny. Clichés in Hollywood movies are much talked about, and a general audience quickly realizes that they have already seen certain episodes dozens of times before. For instance, it seems like there is no other option for a particular character in a particular situation. Nevertheless, it is vivid that Atwood wants to prove that these are the only plots that one may have encountered while reading numerous romantic stories. Moreover, it may seem that six plots in just one short story are too much. The author deliberately undermines the importance of characters’ decisions and makes it look like all of them are already predetermined by the situation described in the plot. The use of third-person narrative and the language Atwood chooses further distance the narrator from the characters’ lives. In Atwood’s “Happy Endings”, the narrator seems to lack any emotional connection with the characters. The characters and the plots in Atwood’s story represent only a blank canvas, which is meant to be filled not only with emotions but with experiences, decision-making, as well as phycological challenges. Atwood strongly suggests that writers and readers focus on “How and Why” alongside “a what and a what” (LLC Books 15). Thus, readers realize that apart from emotions, they are often left without any other experience or knowledge. However, she deliberately omits details, which are in charge of the emotional wave. ![]() The author provides the proper background of each character and the setting. Nevertheless, great writers who possess extensive knowledge of literary techniques (like Atwood) give readers an insight into the mass production of romantic stories meant to be popular among a general audience. The stereotypes which flood romantic stories are not sometimes vivid due to the author’s talent to describe the setting and feelings. Atwood intentionally gives all the characters in every plot the same names to show that only the initial environment and backgrounds can make a difference in a typical love story. John is a young man in B and a married man in his forties in C. For instance, Mary is just a happy married woman with a successful career in A and a pathetic young girl in B. There are several characters with the same names in the plots. Looking for academic help? Our specialists can writeĪ 100% unique paper for $13.00 $10.40/page Learn More Atwood points out that many romantic stories generally center solely around the decisions the characters make. Most characters usually act stereotypically according to their social status, age, background, and the environment. The majority of the plots of contemporary writers tend to focus on actions and their consequences. Atwood mocks writers working in the Romance genre by showing them that their stories often lack any details which do not directly describe the actions. Although all the characters have distinct backgrounds, their individuality is undermined by the way they are described in each plot. To underpin that there is just a set number of plots which writers tend to choose, Atwood simply gives them labels from A to F. The plot is divided into six stories, which are intervened, although they tell about different people. Nevertheless, the brief description of different love stories provides insight into the author’s perception of love, family, and success. Her expertise allowed her to look at the Romance genre from a different angle and provide a sarcastic, exaggerated perception of a typical plot. Moreover, readers can only guess what the talented Canadian writer wanted to manifest. The author admits that in the beginning, she did not know what kind of story she was writing. Margaret Atwood’s “Happy Endings” represents a unique literary work, as it raises multiple issues and challenges numerous standards and writing rules in just a few paragraphs. ![]() If you have a pre-recorded audio file, you can drag the file right into Evernote to create a new note or drop it into an existing note (Mac and Windows only).You can type inside Evernote as audio is recording.Warning: If your audio recording on a mobile device or an older version of Evernote for Mac and Windows surpasses the total note size limit, your note will not sync to Evernote.On the new version of Evernote for Mac and Windows (v10.12 and above), if your audio recording surpasses the total note size limit, you will have the option to save it as a local file.The size of an audio recording will vary depending on the content of your recording and your device.
