Here is how I restore pacman in Portable Git (commands can be copy & paste into git-bash shell all at once): Now there is a definitive source in github. Well, that's until I discover this file: /etc/package-versions.txt, the laundry list of matching msys2 packages and versions. If you force to install or copy the current version of msys2 packages, you run the risk of version mismatch with git binaries Google built and tested. Without those metadata files, you don't know the exact collection and version of the msys2 packages Google selected to build a release of those 2 flavors of Git. At first, it seems hopeless trying to restore and use pacman in the latter two flavors of Git (msys2), because Google excluded ALL metadata files in /var/lib/pacman/local.

The key thing here is that pacman is getting tree from the "msys" repository (FYI: even though it says msys, it really is using msys2), so I looked at /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist.msys and the first mirror points to $arch/ To make it even easier for others and maybe myself on a future machine, I looked at where pacman was getting the tree package from by running the following in my Git for Windows SDK Bash terminal: $ pacman -S -info treeĭescription : A directory listing program displaying a depth indented list of files Now I can run tree v1.7.0 from both Git Bash shells.

Ironically, my caution was rewarded with a light bump from the car behind me, as the driver apparently presumed I was going to turn and wasn’t ready for me to stop.

Can you see the wires?” Me: “Eh… the light… Do you mean sparks are coming from it? Eh… little stars?” He makes weird gestures while saying, “Fssssh…” The man walks to the nearby wall, pretends to click on the light, and then “draws” a line from the “light switch” to the ceiling. Man: “No, no! When water, then fsh-fsh-fsh. Me: “Do you mean the water is not coming out of the shower head?

The frames for our crystal chandeliers include those that are all crystal as well as bronze, gold, iron and silver and more. Italian glass crystal is used in antique reproduction chandeliers. Murano crystal is in a category by itself. However, other kinds of crystal such as Gem cut, Egyptian, Spectra, Heritage, Turkish, Bohemian, Czech, or wood-polished are also considered fine quality choices that can be found at lower price points. Strass (Swarovski) crystal will create the most color and is the most expensive crystal. ![]() Crystal, on the other hand, will still display fire and brilliance regardless of the presence of color. Within a solid white environment, glass will have no color. In fact, the level of quality is as the phrase implies, "crystal clear." Wondering about the difference between glass and crystal? Glass trim will reflect light while crystal trim refracts it. If you’re new to buying crystal lighting fixtures, you may have questions about discerning the various types of crystal. If your room is small or you have a low ceiling that cannot accommodate the full length of a chandelier, our crystal ceiling lights, which are installed closer to the ceiling, are equally dazzling light fixtures. Here we have a complete selection from traditional shapes like beaded, layered, and cascading crystal fixtures to more modern round, rectangular, and asteroid-shaped crystal chandeliers. Whether you are looking for a large 3 tier crystal chandelier, a mini crystal chandelier or a crystal pendant chandelier, we have curated our selection to inspire you. A beautiful crystal chandelier can quite literally take your breath away. The magnificence of crystal chandelier lighting is perhaps unmatched by any other medium.
![]() Ford could have done better, especially when compared to rivals. Fit and finish also leaves a little to be desired. The beauty of the layout is worth mentioning, even though plastics are a bit too present and material quality could be improved. Meanwhile, the interior is totally unique. On the other hand, the Edge boasts wing-like headlights similar to the rest of Ford's truck lineup. By rejecting the H-shaped grille, Ford designers wanted to emphasize the fact that their crossover handles more like a car than a truck. As a true member of the Ford family, the Edge also sports the triple-slat chrome grille originally introduced by the Fusion sedan and now used as the visual corporate identity. Sleek, organic lines give it a taut look masking the vehicle's sizeable girth. Unique styling Sure enough, this Ford crossover stands out from the competition with a unique design. Yet, it's safe to assume that Ford will maintain its lead for quite a while. This trio will be joined later this year by a new model called the Chevrolet Traverse. So far, it's mission accomplished: sales of the Edge exceed those of GM's three crossovers combined (Saturn Outlook, Buick Enclave and GMC Acadia). That's why the Edge crossover is so important for the automaker. This Ford crossover stands out from the competition with a unique design. Finally, while the F-150 remains the best-selling pick-up truck in North America, sales are going down due to the market's fragmentation. And with any luck, we’ll see it hit North American shores in the future, though that’s obviously still not a given. Ford’s SUV & Crossover Lineup: All 8 Models Previewed The bad news Ford is getting out of the car business. ![]() 2010 Ford Prices & Values: In 2010, Ford re-designed the 2010 Ford Edge and started plans for discontinuing the Ranger ( 2010 Ford Ranger book values). The EcoSport would serve as Ford’s subcompact crossover, with the Puma filling the gap at subcompact plus, followed by the compact Ford Escape, mid-size Ford Edge, and full-size Ford Explorer. ![]() Rising gas prices have obviously played a huge part. The 2010 Ford Flex manages to take the best parts of a wagon and a crossover, and combine them into a vehicle which has stand-out style yet is still very functional. It now trails the smaller Honda CR-V on the sales charts, after more than a decade at the top. To make matters worse, the Explorer midsize SUV is starting to get shunned by American consumers. Several models, like the supposedly revolutionary Five Hundred sedan, turned out to be utter failures in terms of sales. buyers, SUVs now make the bulk of Ford’s lineup. Standard safety equipment includes forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, blind spot warning, rear cross traffic alert, lane departure warning, and lane keeping assist. Updates for 2021 include Ford’s new Sync 4 infotainment system, which offers a 12-inch center screen, conversational voice recognition, and wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay connectivity.įord also claims that the new system has a “learning capability to automatically learn your preferences and make helpful suggestions.” A new ST-Line, which has the interior and exterior look of the Edge ST but is instead powered by the standard 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine.Ī reverse sensing system is now standard on all trim lines.Over the last few years, the blue-oval auto giant suffered its fair share of setbacks. As Sport Utility Vehicles have become a favorite choice among U.S. The Edge can rival a luxury car with its quiet cabin, steady ride, and agile handling, and the Sync 3 infotainment system is easy to use. The driving position is uneven because the left footrest sits too close to the driver. The high-performance ST trim gets a V6 turbo and AWD. From 2024, European customers will be able to purchase an all-electric version of the Ford Puma, Ford’s popular compact crossover. We also recommend finding an Edge equipped with blind spot monitoring and a rearview camera. The freshened 2019 Edge got updated powertrains and additional advanced safety features.Ī 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission is standard and provides smooth, quiet acceleration.

It overheated, blew a cap, and took everything in the case with it. The computer I blew was using a cheap Enermax PSU that shipped with the case, and it cost me the mobo, memory, processor and even the video card. That's what keeps your system stable during 3D renders. The quality and power capacity of your power supply is also important. This also depends a lot on the case you use, if it offers sufficient air flow during renders. Those will not take advantage of the 4-pin sockets. Even if the mobo offers 4-pin sockets, it's important to buy 4-pin coolers, for most are 3-pins only, which will still spin at a fixed rate. 3-pin sockets can only spin the fans are a fixed speed, even when the hardware needs more airflow. I strongly recommend mobos with 4-pin sockets for coolers, which allow automatic and real-time speed control depending on the cooling demands of your components. No matter what hardware you have, it's important to make sure your case has sufficient cooling to protect the components during extended rendering periods. ![]() I have already blown 2 video cards (GTX 275 and GTX 480), and an entire system - motherboard, power supply, memory and processor, all fried during Poser renders. It's a conundrum, because slower machines will have to render for longer periods, so they tend to overheat and slowly degrade the components over time. especially if this is the first time youre using a 3D animation tool: not only. 3D rendering is very taxing on the hardware, so it's not to be taken lightly. Poser latest version: Create, design and render 3D animated figures. As for the causes, it is easy to assume that 3D rendering on such older machines can cause overheating, which shortens the lifespan of the components. ![]() ![]() Specify the number of adults and children included in your party and any necessary accessibility requests.įind the "Add Voucher or Promo" box under the "Visit Summary" heading.Įnter your Medieval Times coupon code and click "Apply" to update your order total.Ĭonfirm your ticket selections by clicking “Add Tickets.” You should see a lower discounted price on the following screen.

If you can’t count on anything else, then you impose rules and incentives. Rules and incentives are the booby prize. The point of our book is that you will never get what you need and want out of any institution that matters by relying on rules and incentives. If the financial system is broken, change the incentive structure so that bankers stop ripping off their clients. if schools don’t work, rigid curricula and scripts for teachers follow. You have to follow the rules or you’re out. If you make a lot of rules and you have somebody standing over people’s heads watching them to make sure that they actually obey the rules, then you don’t care what people’s motivation is. One that Ken and I focused on in writing Practical Wisdom is that we have come to the view as a society that when things are broken, the way to fix them is either by making more rules or by creating smart incentives…. There are probably many reasons, not one, for this distrust of institutions. Schwartz: I don’t want to be monomaniacal about this. Knowledge at Wharton: You note that there is a collective mistrust of the institutions that surround us. Knowledge at Wharton recently sat down with Schwartz to discuss why individuals fail to do the right thing, what practical wisdom looks like in practice and what organizations can do to regain people’s trust.Īn edited version of the transcript appears below. Instead, society needs the Aristotelian ideal that trumps all others - practical wisdom. Swarthmore professor Barry Schwartz says rules and incentives are an “insurance policy against disaster, but produce excellence.” In the recent book, Practical Wisdom: The Right Way to Do the Right Thing, Schwartz and co-author Kenneth Sharpe, also a Swarthmore professor, say what is needed is not more bureaucracy.
