![]() You must become what has been called a walker, beatnik, or survivor of a dystopian reality that denies reality itself. You can only get out of such a society if you start walking away from the centers of power - and from everything that ties you to the system. The printers are, of course, remote-controlled by an artificial intelligence that, if it is able to x-ray its customers, it is because they are nothing more than a collection of data. ![]() Agencia Getty (Getty Images for Unfinished Live) Cory Doctorow at a conference in Berlin in 2015. ![]() In other words, restaurants automatically adapt their menus to the customer’s taste, and everything is “printed,” not “made,” as 3D printers do all the work. Or it might be the same, but subtly sophisticated. The three meet at a communist gathering - the only thing left of communism in that apparently perfect future: pretend solidarity parties - and abandon what’s known as “society by default.” The world Doctorow imagines is so similar to our own that it could not be any other. In Walkaway, it happens that Hubert Vernon Rudolph Clayton Irving Wilson - and so on to complete the 21 names of the protagonist of the story, better known as Etcetera precisely because of that - and his best friend, Seth, decide to join Natalie, a rich heiress who inevitably rebels. That’s why awareness is so important, Doctorow says. “There are people deciding what is and isn’t true in our lives based on data that they illicitly mine, and that reinforces an idea of the world that goes in the opposite direction of what you’re trying to build,” he explains. Thus, he explains, when the DVD Forum - an organization founded in 1995 that included hardware, software, the media, and Hollywood itself - decided on which televisions the “spy” boards would be installed to discover what content to favor, it prioritized or “only included families with at least four members, who lived in, say, London, and could afford an in-car screen.” “If you were born in Manila and you have a son building a stadium in Qatar, what you see on TV doesn’t matter in the slightest to them, because they don’t consider you a family,” he adds. “When they only take into account those they consider as such,” he adds. You are complicating things for all those straight, white, rich men, the usual elites, who are still behind everything that we consider the world today,” says Doctorow, who recalls - via video call from his home in Los Angeles - that it is the mechanisms of the system that end up deciding, for example, what is and what is not a family. Somehow, with a name like that, you’re hacking the system. ![]() “The longer your name is, the more untraceable you become. If his daughter’s name - Poesy Emmeline Fibonacci Nautilus Taylor Doctorow - is almost as interminable as that of the protagonist of his latest novel, the powerful dystopian Walkaway (Tor Books) - a sumptuous mix of Bret Easton Ellis, Douglas Coupland and Dave Eggers - it is because he wants to be able to throw data collectors off the scent as much as possible. It is imposing a default reality, trying to reimpose that which is being fought against while keeping us entertained,” he says. “There may be changes in the world, but, in the background, there is a current that we don’t control. “We are not free, and we don’t know it,” says the writer, for whom Mark Zuckerberg and his virtual conglomerate - his budding metaverse - tramples relentlessly over a new kind of human right that is not talked about enough. Cory Doctorow, science fiction writer, “zuckervegan” and digital rights activist, can’t believe that the rest of the world lives as if it is not just a collection of data being bought and sold behind its back all the time. ![]()

It wasn’t until many years later when scholars realized the words written by Isaiah and other prophets were fulfilled and true. These warnings were often not heeded and largely ignored because they were called to repent of their sins and idolatries with the threat of punishment and sometimes reward. Whenever we address prophecy or prophets of the Bible, we need to understand individuals like Isaiah were sent by God to warn God’s people, the Israelites. In order to provide atonement and to be washed of our sins, a perfect sacrifice was coming for all of mankind: God’s only son, Jesus. But the traditional way God’s people atoned for sin in the Old Testament was through the blood sacrifice of animals performed at the Temple. ![]() Our sins needed to be washed off each of us. The prophet Isaiah was pointing out that our sins required an atonement. He describes the suffering of the Messiah and then writes the reasons for His suffering: He was pierced for our transgressions (rebellion) and crushed for our iniquities (depravity). The first time we come across this passage is when Isaiah describes what about happen to Jesus. Isaiah 53:5Īnd He Himself bore our sins in His body on the cross, so that we might die to sin and live to righteousness for by His wounds you were healed. The chastening for our well-being fell upon HimĪnd by His scourging we are healed. It is rich in detail of Christ’s suffering and crucifixion of His saving work for each of us.īut He was pierced through for our transgressions, John McArthur refers to this passage as “the first gospel.” No passage provides a clearer explanation of Christ’s atoning work for sinners. However, the passage in Isaiah is one of the most renowned Old Testament passages because it prophesied about Jesus 700 years before He arrived in a manger. 1 Peter 2:24 ESVīoth passages describe the physical punishment Christ took upon Himself for the sake of humanity-of those who chose to believe in Him. (NIV)Īnd He Himself bore our sins in His body on the cross, so that we might die to sin and live to righteousness for by His wounds you were healed. (KJV)īut He was pierced through for our transgressions, He was crushed for our iniquities the punishment that brough us peace was on him, and by his wounds we area healed. Later that afternoon, I grabbed my study Bible and looked up the word wounds, when I came across two passages: Isaiah 53:5 and 1 Peter 2:24.īut he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities, the chastisement of our peace was upon himl and with his stripes we are healed. ![]() But to be healed, how? Was it physical, spiritual? Why had everyone become so emotional? I merely thought Jesus’ wounds gave me Salvation. As a new Christian barely toddling around in the new life I was given, I was perplexed by the words. The voices of those around me lifted higher as the main chorus approached in By His Wounds. ![]() ![]() It offers so much versatility in just one device, and once you get the hang of all of the features, you can make some seriously impressive slices in no time at all. If you want to cut right to the chase and add the best mandoline slicer to your cart, the Foyomo 18 Types Adjustable Mandoline Slicer is the one you're looking for. Ready to cut down on your slicing and dicing time for good? Read on to check out our guide to the best mandoline slicers.

It's very important to be careful when using a mandoline slicer. ![]() Just keep in mind that some of these models, like the Foyomo 18 Types Adjustable Mandoline Slicer have multiple blades built in, while others like the Masthome 5-in-1 V-Blade Mandoline Slicer come with removable blades that are swapped in manually and stored separately. Mandolines that are equipped with multiple blades can produce finer shreds, matchsticks, cubes, and even waffle-fry cuts, so you can exercise a little more creativity with your dinner presentation without having to reach for a knife or another kitchen tool to finish the job. VersatilityĪlong with adjusting slice thickness, some models offer a little more versatility beyond simple slices. These latter features could be useful for someone with limited mobility in their nondominant hand. ![]() Some models, like the OXO Good Grips Hand-Held Mandoline Slicer, have a handle to allows you to hold it at an angle with your nondominant hand while you slice with your dominant hand, while others come with their own kickstand or raised platform. While all mandolines work in generally the same way, there are some design variations that may influence your buying decision. Many models allow you to adjust the thickness of your cuts via a dial or by swapping in various blade attachments. As you swipe your piece of produce across the board, the blade cuts the ingredient into uniform slices. Mandoline slicers consist of a flat board that's outfitted with a blade in the middle. ![]() ![]() ![]() Initially, Pina, who was the manager of Daddy Yankee and Natti Natasha, was facing up to 20 years of prison for “one count of possessing an automatic weapon and one count of possessing firearms by a person convicted of a felony.

![]() ![]() ![]() The definition of done is for the criteria for when the work can be considered finished. The definition of ready determines the criteria for when a backlog item is formulated specifically enough so that work on it can begin. The widely known definition of done is for user stories at the scrum team level. Although both of these definitions are documented in the Scrum Team’s ways of working, but they refer to different things. The definition of ready is not to be confused with the definition of done. If a user story on the product backlog does not meet this definition of ready, it cannot be selected for the sprint backlog it must go through refinement instead. That is, it’s estimated to be less story points than the velocity achieved in the last sprint. The user story can be done within one sprint.The user story has been estimated by the Developers on the Scrum Team.The user story has clear, concise, and testable acceptance criteria.The user story follows the format “As a. Creating a definition of done helps you embrace agile principles What is the definition of done (DoD) The definition of done (DoD) is an agreed-upon checklist that clearly states when a user story, epic, or theme is considered accomplished. ![]() SAFe is a mature framework designed for managing large, complex developments. We hereby agree on the following definition of ready for the user stories on the product backlog: In this article, definition of ready is described in context of the Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe) model. We, the members of the Scrum Team, use the definition of ready to determine whether or not a product backlog item is formulated well enough to be selected for development during the Sprint Planning event. Additional criteria can then be added to the definition of ready, making it a bulleted list. This means that, in its simplest form, the definition of ready can state that a backlog item must be formulated in such a way that it can be completed by the Scrum team within one sprint. What Is Definition of Ready (DoR) A definition of ready (DoR) is used to determine whether work on a task is ready to be started. The guide does say that only backlog items which the team can complete within one sprint should be considered ready for selection during the Sprint planning event. There is one hint of a definition of ready, though. The Scrum Guide does not explicitly mention the term “definition of ready.” This can lead to false gating, where participants hold each other accountable for failing to achieve something that was not. The definition of ready in Kanban projects is not at all that different: it’s a list of criteria that a backlog item must meet before it can be picked up by a team member and moved through the workflow. The danger of having a defined definition of Ready (DoR) is: False sense of Ready - First that it creates a false sense of Ready that encompasses the objective points that we can focus on, but misses the subjective. In Scrum, the definition of ready is a list of acceptance criteria a product backlog item must meet before it can be planned in a sprint and selected for completion by the Developers on the team. ![]() ![]() ![]() People with anxiety seem to be more likely to experience upsetting dreams.Ī 2018 study looked at connections between people’s emotions during the day and the kinds of dreams they have at night. If you’re having a hard time dealing with recurring dreams or ongoing stress, talk with a doctor or licensed mental health professional. If that doesn’t work, get up and do something relaxing until you’re sleepy again. If you wake up in the night, use deep breathing or other relaxation exercises to get back to sleep. Make sure your bedroom is free of glowing electronics and other sources of light. You can also ease into a more peaceful sleep by scheduling wind-down time before you go to bed. Confronting the issue may help stop the dreams. Try to identify the cause of stress in your waking life. Recurring dreams about death can be the result of ongoing stress and unresolved issues. Alex Dimitriu, of Menlo Park Psychiatry & Sleep Medicine in California, told Healthline. “The goal ultimately may not be to avoid having such dreams, but rather approach them with curiosity to better understand them,” Dr. ![]() If the images in your dreams are causing ongoing stress or upset, talk with a doctor or a licensed mental health professional.Ĭan you avoid or prevent dreams involving death? But if you can brush the feeling off and move on with your day, it’s probably just a passing occurrence. ![]() This kind of dream imagery can sometimes feel threatening or upsetting. Seeing a dead body in a dream might be unexpected, but it’s not as uncommon as you may think. These dreams tended to be nonthreatening, and the people in the dreams were seen as they were in their prime of health. Terminally ill people reported dreaming about loved ones who’ve already passed on. The aforementioned small 2016 study found that end-of-life dreams are common. Instead, it might relate to what that friend represents in your life. Keep in mind the meaning behind the dream may not have anything to do with that friend at all. It could also mean that your friendship is undergoing change or that you’d prefer to be free of this person. Dreams about friends dyingĭreaming about the death of a friend could signify concern for that person. You may dream about your pet dying if they’re old or sick and you’re genuinely concerned about them.īut your pet may symbolize something else, such as:Īnd dreaming of your pet dying might symbolize your fear of loss of these three qualities. The meaning may lie in who or what that particular celebrity represents to you. When a celebrity dies in your dream, it’s probably not about the celebrity. Part of you feels neglected and is vying for attention. It could also be that you’ve been putting your own needs on the back burner in favor of everyone else. It could represent a part of you that is dying or something you’d like to escape. It might be a symbolic goodbye to a relationship, a job, or a home.

Consider how these feelings relate to what’s going on in your life.įor example, if you woke up feeling scared and anxious, you might consider whether you’re stressed out about changes in your life or fearing the unknown. When trying to interpret a dream, it helps to focus less on specific details and more on the way it made you feel. Instead, death may represent change or a period of transition. If you aren’t terminally ill or mourning a loved one, however, your dream may not really be about death at all. People grieving the death of a romantic partner may feel a continuing bond with their loved one when they dream about them, according to a 2021 study. Such dreams may be part of the mourning process or a reflection of the fact that you miss someone who’s no longer in your life. A few respondents said they were purely disturbing. Most people reported these dreams to be pleasant or both pleasant and disturbing. And a small 2014 survey found that it’s not unusual to dream of someone you’ve recently lost. It’s not uncommon for terminally ill people to dream about loved ones who have died, according to a 2016 study done in India. What can dreams about seeing a person dead mean about you? ![]() ![]() When Jesus arrived, Lazarus had already been dead for four days. ![]() This is when Thomas shows his loyal devotion to Lazarus as well as his pessimism as he told his fellow disciples and Jesus “Let us also go, that we may die with him” (v 16). Then, interestingly He says “…for your sake I am glad that I was not there, so that you may believe” (v 15). Jesus had actually meant that he had died and so He plainly tells them that Lazarus is dead (v 14). The disciples thought that if he was sick, sleeping would be a good thing for him to help him recover from his illness, saying “Lord, if he has fallen asleep, he will recover” (v 12). The interesting thing that he tells His disciples is that “Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep, but I go to awaken him” (v 10). Since Jesus was omniscient, He knew that the delay would not cause Lazarus death since by the time the messenger got to Jesus (one day’s journey) Lazarus would have already been dead. After the messenger gave Jesus the message, Jesus waited two whole days before departing for Bethany (v 6). In John chapter eleven, Martha and Mary sent a messenger to Jesus to seek His help in healing Lazarus as he was gravely ill (v 3). Lazarus is Dead – Concerned Family Members Send for Jesus The Jewish religious leaders would not accept that as conclusive evidence for Jesus actually raising them from the dead so this may be why Jesus waited a full four days to resurrect Lazarus. ![]() Jesus had resurrected two others: Jarius’s daughter (Luke 8:40-56) and the widow’s son in Nain (Luke 7:11-16) but these two were resurrected immediately after they had died. The irony is that Jesus would later be resurrected from the dead after being in the grave for three days. This was so that the family could grieve their lost family member. They also “sit shiva” three times each day. This is what is called to “sit shiva” for three days for grieving purposes. The reason that Lazarus’ resurrection is so amazing is that in the Jewish culture, a person was not actually accepted as being fully dead and with no chance of coming back to life after three days. This is the seventh miracle that Jesus has performed and it is the capstone of all His miracles in the New Testament. It is seen as proof positive that Jesus is God and that He has effectual power over mankind. ![]() Jesus raising Lazarus from the dead is one of the most dramatic stories in the Bible. ![]() ![]() The slimmer sides combined with the weight made it awkward to hold from the sides with one hand, two hands on the sides or one on the bottom was alright but it still felt a bit weighty as a tablet, and the keys on the back don’t feel great when holding it in tablet mode. It’s got that 6 core processor inside, and the smaller footprint results in 6mm thin screen bezels on the sides. It’s on the thinner side which we thought was quite impressive given. It weighed in just under 1.25kg or 2.7lb, and then about 1.55kg or 3.4lb total once we add in the small 65-watt power brick and cables for charging. The build quality feels great, the lid, interior, and bottom panel are all metal with a dark finish, and there weren’t any sharp corners or edges. You will get the 6 core 12 thread Ryhere, so you will able to hit levels of performance that were previously unheard of in a 13-inch machine. The HP Envy x360 is a premium 2-in-1 device featuring AMD’s latest Ryzen 4000 processors. On to the next special thing about the 2020 Spectre this year you could get the amazing 4k AMOLED display with lower configurations which is great not everyone would need a high spec but many of us would like to experience this beautiful display. The 360-degree turn is also nice and smooth and we really like how it snaps into position very satisfying moving. It also has done really well with the true joint hinge while it’s not exactly one hand openable it’s firm and supports the screen really well so screen wobbling when touching in clamshell mode is noticeably less in this one than in other convertible devices. If your hands sweat a lot you can always use the stylus that HP includes with the machine it’s quite nice for basic use but we don’t expect this to satisfy any professional drawing modeling of things like that. It’s a little sticky a little resistant one good thing is the glass screen doesn’t get dirty very quickly with sweats and fingerprints compared to many other two in one touch screen that you’ve used it. This thing has a multi-touch display which is also quite fast and responsive but we find the screen surface, not the smoothest to slide your finger across. Screen flex was minor owing to the solid metal lid, and the keyboard wasn’t too bad either, it feels quite sturdy. This lets you use it in normal laptop mode, reverse mode, tent mode, or tablet mode. It can’t quite be opened up with one finger, and of course, due to the 360 degree hinge the screen goes the full way back. Backlight bleed wasn’t bad at all, you will never notice the small imperfections when viewing darker content, but this will vary between laptops and panels. It was bright enough at full brightness and had an 840:1 contrast ratio, so it looked pretty good. In terms of display performance, it got 96% of sRGB, 73% of AdobeRGB, and 73% of DCI-P3. It worked fine for me as a touch screen and felt responsive, but does not come with a pen, though HP does sell some. The 13.3” 1080p IPS touch screen is glass and has a glossy finish, so fingerprints will show up if you touch it. ![]() This is a two-in-one device tablet mode now feels much more natural on the hands but we still think that HP has got to figure out something to do with the keyboard when it’s in tablet mode because it still gets in the way anyway a much better tablet experience than last year. With the thick bezels with an impressive screen to body ratio of 90, the machine is now smaller and lighter at 1.3 kilograms which help tremendously considering. The first thing that you notice right away is the chassis redesign the machine now has a considerably smaller footprint thanks to the cutting of the bezels and this thing just looks stunning much more premium and up-to-date than last year’s model. The latest edition of the famous HP Spectral 360 13-inch version now has always been a great machine but in this 2020 model, HP brought it to the next level. So this distance over here is over 17 millimeters shorter and it reduces the bottom chin bezel that used to be kind of large beyond that you’ve got a metal casing. There and keeps the price reasonable but beyond that, they’ve done a redesign just like they did with the Spectre X360 last year. Because we have the new AMD rise in 4000 series CPU inside the otherwise known very fast excellent performance. The HP Envy x-360 13-inch is the 13 z model specifically HP has been doing great things with the envy and it gets even better in part. We will compare the HP Envy x360 13 – 2020 and HP Spectre x360 13 – 2020 to know which one is truly worthy of your consideration. Today we have two new products of the HP from the 13-inch laptop segment. HP always sets new benchmarks in the laptop market with its new products. HP is one of the most famous and reputed brands in the laptop market. We are back again with another interesting laptop comparison for you. ![]() |
