Value, replayability and features are important in some games, and GTR2 is one of them, and it does not disappoint. Value for Money, Replayability and Features: Overall the gameplay is excellent across the board, despite minor blemishes. Plus you need to have experience and total focus when on championships because they are hard. Plus I have heard that in endurance races, after about some time, the AI slows down and loses 5-10 seconds a lap, allowing you to win or secure a podium even with an underpowered car. You would most likely be on the middle to bottom pack even for a good qualifying time. Then, qualifying for the top spot is inordinately hard. First, it takes the AI quite a while to lap slower cars. The gameplay manages to be realistic and very satisfying, though there are a few rough spots which keep it from being a 10. Press the "I" key during a race (not allowed on championships) and let the AI take over while you do other things. But then overall the AI manages to be competitive and believable. Try AI strength at 120% and aggression to “Psychotic” and you'll be seeing Destruction Derby-like AI. They are realistic and you can adjust their strength and aggression. Semi-Pro turns off most of the aids, while Simulation mode only leaves you and your skills behind the wheel. However the real fun starts at Semi-Pro and Simulation modes, with a gamepad or for better results, a force-feedback wheel, complete with pedals and shifters. In Novice mode, every driving aid is turned on, so you can feel and experience GTR2 even with only a keyboard. SimBin made the game fun for beginners and pros alike. The gameplay of GTR2 is its strongest point. But I loved the other ones, from the purr of the Porsche GT3 to the wail of the TVR T400R.Īh, finally. The Corvette didn't really sound like it had a big, burly, roaring V8. The engine sound effects are good, but lack the “oomph” factor that some require. The musical soundtrack ain't bad, unless you have something against European techno-pop music. The environmental sounds are excellently done, from grass and gravel effects, tire skidding, bumping into curbs, dust and debris at high speeds, even from the spotter but then, sometimes what the spotter says is a bit hard to understand. Night racing is great, if you have the hardware to handle it. The driver animations and spotter animations are great, and 3D pitcrew is a nice touch (no 3D pitcrew for the AI though) The game is hardware-intensive, but even mid-range gaming PCs today can run it with medium to high details while getting good FPS. The tracks are equally good too, with a lot of believable trackside objects which make it come to life. The cars are meticulously detailed, their modeling is excellent, from bodywork to engine to tire and even the cockpit with MoTeC. However, they could've made an effort to join the 2005 FIA GT season in which they didn't do, unfortunately. The blessing is that it was represented very accurately. GTR2 is a representation of the 20 FIA GT season including all their cars and tracks. On September of 2006, they released the sequel to GTR, GTR2. Later on they made GT Legends, which was also a big success and it showed that vintage cars can be as much fun as GT cars. It was a very good representation of the FIA GT season. Nowadays racing sims are trying to be both accessible to beginners while still being deep enough for professionals.Ī game development company named SimBin created GTR. That is a problem faced by some racing sims in the past, like Grand Prix Legends. However there is always the drawback of it being too hard. Sim racing is a genre of racing which tries to simulate driving a real race, with a real car. Overall I’m going give this game 9.5 out of 10.Note: Click on thumbnails to view the large image. GT Legends is a game that you should play if you’re into PC gaming. The physics and the sound aren’t the best. The game play is better than Forza and Gran turismo of the time. All cars and tracks have been made really well. In conclusion, GT Legends is an amazing game with a brilliant car and track list. SimBin Studios did a really good job there. When your racing against other cars, there’s a sense that you’re actually racing, not just trying to beat your last lap time that happens in other racing games. When it comes to racing against other cars, no game does it better. The gear changes don’t sound right and the physics are good, but did need some more work on it. The actual racing in the game is quite good, but that doesn’t mean it’s the best that it could be. The tracks all look great and and are all fun to drive on in all their configurations GT Legends has tracks from all over world, that would have been raced on in the 60’s and 70s, including as Mondello Park, Magny-Cours and Hockenheim.

Then created a different library on my portable drive while the drive is connected to the iMac not laptop and conpied the libradry so I can work on my MacBook Pro macOS Mojave version 10.14.6 (same version as iMac). IMovie I created an iMovie library on my iMac macOS Mojave version 10.14.6. I'd appreciate any ideas not already mentioned.I haven't tried Safe Mode, but don't see how that applies. These videos play well in QuickTime, besides. Yet that media shows up in the window as available, and I can play it there.I just can't download it into the library (either old, or new). It used to be you could download other versions of software from Apple/downloads, but the App Store method seems to have eclipsed that.īTW, iMovie is working fine as long as I don't add any media. But iMovie isn't there, only two unrelated updates. I followed Rich's advice to trash iMovie, then go to the App Store and check purchases to get the latest compatible version. (Odd, considering that those iMovie upgrades span the last 4 years.) I'm assuming that 10.1.16 (from about 6 months ago) probably is compatible with Mojave but Software Update has NEVER listed an upgrade for iMovie for me. For various reasons, I don't want to upgrade to Catalina right now. No good.Īnd, I've followed the Community advice, and deleted preferences etc.Īs others have mentioned, the latest version of iMovie (10.2.x) is NOT Mojave compatible. I have followed advice at and reset the NVRAM, PRAM, set up a new library, etc. In the list of upgrades, it mentions that they fixed this problem of iMovie crashing whenever you import video. There have been 15 upgrades to 10.1 since then. The version of iMovie that was included in Mojave is 10.1.1. You can then move clips, events, and projects between libraries.I'm running Mojave on a MB Pro. If you want to open the library you moved to an external storage device, you can open it again after you reconnect that storage device. If you disconnect the external storage device containing the library, iMovie opens to a new, empty library created in the Movies folder on your Mac, and iMovie then uses that new location to save any projects you create and media you import. When your external storage device is connected to your Mac, the library you moved there opens automatically when you open iMovie. If you disconnect the external storage device Make sure the library you moved contains all your media, then drag the original file from the Movies folder on your Mac to the Trash. Click Files and Folders in the sidebar, then select "Removable Volumes" under iMovie. If you clicked Don't Allow, in the Finder choose Apple menu > System Preferences, click Security and Privacy, then click Privacy. If an alert appears asking you to give iMovie access to a removable volume, click OK. When the library file is finished copying, double-click the library file on the external storage device to open it in iMovie. Open the Movies folder, then drag the file named iMovie Library to your external storage device. If it's not selected, click the lock, enter an administrator name and password, then select the checkbox.Ĭlick your desktop to make sure that you’re in the Finder, then choose Go > Home from the menu bar at the top of your screen. If the information in Sharing & Permissions isn’t visible, click the triangle, then make sure the “Ignore ownership on this volume” checkbox is selected. Select your external storage device in the Finder, then choose File > Get Info. Move a library to an external storage device You can’t store your library on a storage device used for Time Machine backups. The hardware promises to only reorder operations in ways allowed by the model, and in return, the software acknowledges that all such reorderings are possible and that it needs to account for them. For example, on the program above, sequential consistency forbids any ordering that results in printing 00, but allows some orderings that print 01 and 11.Ī memory consistency model is a contract between the hardware and software. A memory consistency model (which we often just call a “memory model”) defines the allowed orderings of multiple threads on a multiprocessor. Sequential consistency is our first example of a memory consistency model. Defining sequential consistency is one of the many achievements that earned Leslie Lamport the Turing award in 2013. Together, these two rules-a single main memory, and program order-define sequential consistency. This is what programmers expect: all sorts of bad things would start happening if my programs were allowed to launch their missiles before checking that the key was turned. The other part of this intuitive model is that events happen in program order: the events in a single thread happen in the order in which they were written. Note that this rule says nothing about what order the events happen in-just that they happen in some order. There’s no notion that two events can occur “at the same time”, because they are all accessing a single main memory. The idea is that multiple threads running in parallel are manipulating a single main memory, and so everything must happen in order. Sequential consistency: an intuitive model of parallelismĪrchitects and programming language designers believe the rules we just explored to be intuitive to programmers. But those rules lead to a contradiction (event (1) happening before itself). Then all the ordering rules we just showed must hold. Think of it as a proof by contradiction: suppose this program could print 00. Since this execution would require time-warping, we can conclude that this program can’t print 00. So if we start at (1), and end up back at (1) again, the graph is saying that (1) must happen before itself! Barring a very concerning advance in physics, this is unlikely to be possible. If we start at (1), and follow the edges-to (2), then (3), then (4), then… (1) again! Remember that the edges are saying which events must happen before other events. So let’s add those edges too:īut now we have a problem. Similarly, for line (4) to print 0, that print must happen before line (1) writes a 1 to A, so let’s add that to the graph:Īnd finally, of course, each thread’s events should happen in order-(1) before (2), and (3) before (4)-because that’s what we expect from an imperative program. We can represent this graphically with an edge:Īn edge from operation x to operation y says that x must happen before y to get the behavior we’re interested in. For line (2) to print 0, we have to print B before line (3) writes a 1 to it. Intuitively, it shouldn’t be possible for this program to print 00. and a few others that have the same effect.(1) → (3) → (4) → (2): The first instruction from the first thread runs, then both instructions from the second thread, then the second instruction from the first thread.(1) → (3) → (2) → (4): The first instruction in each thread runs before the second instruction in either thread, printing 11.There are also some less obvious orders, where the instructions are interleaved with each other: (3) → (4) → (1) → (2): The second thread runs both its events before the first thread.(1) → (2) → (3) → (4): The first thread runs both its events before the second thread, and so the program prints 01. Intuitively, there are two obvious orders in which this program could run: We should think about the order in which its events can happen. To understand what this program can output, How multiple threads (or workers, or nodes, or replicas, etc.) There are many resources on memory consistency,Īnd motivate why memory consistency is an issue for multicore systems.įor the details, you should certainly consult these other excellent sources. Which is the problem of defining how parallel threads Seeing things in order is a challenge for the ages. Lurking amongst the tall weeds of computer science: Only two hard things in computer science:Ĭache invalidation, naming things, and off-by-one errors.

The conductivity has a value of the order 10 −7 S/cm at 300 ☌. ĭespite its wide band gap of about 8.35 eV at 80 K, caesium chloride weakly conducts electricity, and the conductivity is not electronic but ionic. Caesium chloride has also a relatively high solubility in formic acid (1077 g/L at 18 ☌) and hydrazine medium solubility in methanol (31.7 g/L at 25 ☌) and low solubility in ethanol (7.6 g/L at 25 ☌), sulfur dioxide (2.95 g/L at 25 ☌), ammonia (3.8 g/L at 0 ☌), acetone (0.004% at 18 ☌), acetonitrile (0.083 g/L at 18 ☌), ethylacetate and other complex ethers, butanone, acetophenone, pyridine and chlorobenzene. In contrast to sodium chloride and potassium chloride, caesium chloride readily dissolves in concentrated hydrochloric acid. The crystals are very hygroscopic and gradually disintegrate at ambient conditions. It readily dissolves in water with the maximum solubility increasing from 1865 g/L at 20 ☌ to 2705 g/L at 100 ☌. Physical properties Ĭaesium chloride is colorless in the form of large crystals and white when powdered. The rocksalt structure is also observed at ambient conditions in nanometer-thin CsCl films grown on mica, LiF, KBr and NaCl substrates. Upon heating to above 445 ☌, the normal caesium chloride structure (α-CsCl) converts to the β-CsCl form with the rocksalt structure ( space group Fm 3m). When both ions are similar in size (Cs + ionic radius 174 pm for this coordination number, Cl − 181 pm) the CsCl structure is adopted, when they are different (Na + ionic radius 102 pm, Cl − 181 pm) the sodium chloride structure is adopted. In contrast, the other alkaline halides have the sodium chloride (rocksalt) structure. This structure is shared with CsBr and CsI and many binary metallic alloys. The chloride atoms lie upon the lattice points at the corners of the cube, while the caesium atoms lie in the holes in the center of the cubes an alternative and exactly equivalent 'setting' has the caesium ions at the corners and the chloride ion in the center. The caesium chloride structure adopts a primitive cubic lattice with a two-atom basis, where both atoms have eightfold coordination. Spread of 137CsCl powder from a 93-gram container in 1987 in Goiânia, Brazil, resulted in one of the worst-ever radiation spill accidents killing four and directly affecting 249 people. Whereas conventional caesium chloride has a rather low toxicity to humans and animals, the radioactive form easily contaminates the environment due to the high solubility of CsCl in water. Another form of cancer treatment was studied using conventional non-radioactive CsCl. When enriched in radioisotopes, such as 137CsCl or 131CsCl, caesium chloride is used in nuclear medicine applications such as treatment of cancer and diagnosis of myocardial infarction. It is a reagent in analytical chemistry, where it is used to identify ions by the color and morphology of the precipitate. Ĭaesium chloride is widely used medicine structure in isopycnic centrifugation for separating various types of DNA. Less than 20 tonnes of CsCl is produced annually worldwide, mostly from a caesium-bearing mineral pollucite. Caesium chloride occurs naturally as impurities in carnallite (up to 0.002%), sylvite and kainite. CsCl changes to NaCl structure on heating. Its crystal structure forms a major structural type where each caesium ion is coordinated by 8 chloride ions. This colorless salt is an important source of caesium ions in a variety of niche applications. Caesium chloride or cesium chloride is the inorganic compound with the formula Cs Cl. However, no tool is perfect and Topaz Video AI is no exception. This is a novel approach to frame interpolation and it seems to be working well, based on user feedback. This feature produces smoother results with fewer artifacts, making it ideal for creating new frames for 60 FPS conversion or cinematic slow-mo. One of the standout features of Topaz Video AI is its frame interpolation. Wildlife photographer Mark Smith also had good things to say about the software, stating that it removes barriers for video content creators and that the only limitation is your imagination. like Jeremy Neipp, a filmmaker and photographer, who praised its ability to remove technical quality distractions that come with telling a story through film. The tool has received positive reviews from users. Instead, you can preview an unlimited number of AI models and parameters to find the perfect result for your project. This means you don't have to worry about offloading work to a remote server, which can be costly and time-consuming. The software's ability to directly process videos using your existing hardware is a big plus. It's designed to enhance video quality by deinterlacing, upscaling, and motion interpolation.

This conceptualization led to the identification of the three main dimensions of burnout that are assessed in the Maslach Burnout Inventory-MBI, the worldwide leading instrument for the assessment of burnout, by means of three sub-scales: emotional exhaustion (EE), depersonalization (DP), and personal accomplishment (PA). Maslach defined burnout in the 1970s as “a syndrome of emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and reduced personal accomplishment that can occur among individuals who do ‘people work’ of some kind” (, p. Occupational burnout is a psychological response to chronic work-related stress of an interpersonal and emotional nature that appears in professionals working directly with clients, patients, or other recipients.
