![]() ![]() We haven't yet run into any drastic problems, but have only tested with basic things like Photoshop CS4 with GPU acceleration disabled (this previously caused a switch to the 330M), X11 under OS X, and a few other simple 3D programs that previously triggered a GPU switch, like Grapher. Nothing has really changed though aside from some tweaks mentioning that manual switching is obviously highly experimental, and removal of the dependent processes tab when Intel HD graphics is in use. Update: The developer is fast, and has updated gfxCardStatus to 1.6.1 minutes after we posted the story. Hit up the link and give it a shot if you're feeling adventuresome. We're still playing around with it, but thus far everything appears to work perfectly, and we're switching from the GT 330M back to Intel HD graphics dynamically without any major issue. At the same time, if you're using a multiple monitor setup, you're also likely at a desk, and thus don't need the power savings. Use of an external display is only possible through the GT 330M due to physical connector restrictions. The only exception to this (thus far) unrestricted ability to use Intel HD graphics in favor of the GT 330M is when an external display is connected. ![]() In the application, you can see which process(es) were responsible for the change to discrete graphics, and optionally switch GPUs.

![]() That said, there was of course a highly important religious component to the ancient Saturnalia celebrations. Just remember that Saturn is the reason for the season □ The interior of the home would be decorated with evergreen wreaths and garland, a common symbol of the Winter Solstice across various European cultures.Įating, drinking, singing, gift-giving, decorating with evergreens and candles…it all sounds a bit familiar, doesn’t it? Because so many of Saturnalia’s traditions have carried over into our modern Christmas celebrations, I believe that even pagans who aren’t “out of the closet” can easily celebrate Saturnalia. ![]() ![]() In terms of aesthetics, brightly colored clothing was the norm during Saturnalia. It is believed that low-value gifts may have correlated with high-value relationships-the very first gag gifts! Small terracotta figurines and candles (a symbol of the light returning after the Winter Solstice) were typical gifts, along with other cheap items. Gift-giving was another common theme of Saturnalia. Io Saturnalia was the official salutation of the festival, often used after singing or joke-telling. Drunkenness and other self-indulgent behaviors became the norm. Individuals spent the day drinking, gambling (normally discouraged in Rome’s strict society), singing, and feasting. Households elected a “King of the Saturnalia” (also known the Lord of Misrule in modern times) who was tasked with causing mischief and creating chaos, usually by yelling commands that other partygoers had to obey. ![]() Role reversal was a common theme for instance, slaves were typically served dinner before their masters, and may have even been served by the masters themselves. The courts of law closed, and social norms were flipped upside down. Traditionally, Saturnalia was a day when all work came to halt. Saturnalia-and the time of the Winter Solstice-is a celebration of both sides of Saturn: the discipline and grueling work that we have completed throughout the year (especially relevant for an agricultural society like Ancient Rome, yet still meaningful today), rewarded with a period of rest and merrymaking.īecause indeed, that is exactly what Saturnalia is about: merrymaking. He taught the people about agriculture and how to save their money, so they might never experience hunger or poverty again-the payout of discipline and restraint. To the Ancient Romans, Saturn was also an agricultural god and the ruler of a great Golden Age, a time of abundance and perfect peace. But there is much more to Saturn than this narrative! Those of you who are interested in astrology may know Saturn (the planet) as the Greater Malefic, and indeed he is associated with harsh lessons such as limitations, karma, structure, discipline, and sometimes decay or destruction. Saturnalia was an ancient Roman festival held on December 17th in honor of the god Saturn. ![]() Saving Earth Britannica Presents Earth’s To-Do List for the 21st Century.Yule may be the most well-known pagan celebration of the Winter Solstice, but it is certainly not the only one-nor is it the only one that lent several of its traditions to Christmas (because yes, many of our modern-day Christmas traditions have pagan roots).100 Women Britannica celebrates the centennial of the Nineteenth Amendment, highlighting suffragists and history-making politicians.COVID-19 Portal While this global health crisis continues to evolve, it can be useful to look to past pandemics to better understand how to respond today.Student Portal Britannica is the ultimate student resource for key school subjects like history, government, literature, and more.This Time in History In these videos, find out what happened this month (or any month!) in history.#WTFact Videos In #WTFact Britannica shares some of the most bizarre facts we can find.Demystified Videos In Demystified, Britannica has all the answers to your burning questions.Britannica Classics Check out these retro videos from Encyclopedia Britannica’s archives.Britannica Explains In these videos, Britannica explains a variety of topics and answers frequently asked questions. ![]() ![]() ![]() iNetGet immediately resumes interrupted downloads and has multi-thread download tasks at a faster rate.

I then tried HD's website to buy a gift card, but it wouldn't sell me one with the Canadian credit card. But she also said that I had to be there in person to purchase the gift card, because they can't sell me one over the phone with a Canadian card. (Quick side-question: Home Depot, really? I mean, do they not want our business? Think of the lost revenue, and worse still, the frustrated customer group who will write them off.but I digress.)įortunately, the employee I spoke with at HD mentioned that a gift card was one way to get around the problem. I even phoned the store directly and asked them to special order the item for me and have it brought into the store, but they wouldn't do it.they said they have to have full payment up front, and it must be done on a card with a US billing address (even though I can use my Canadian card in the store!.?). I tried paying with PayPal and was rejected because I'm a Canadian PayPal customer. I tried having the item shipped to the store, or shipped to a US address (a Kinek point near us), but the problem was that HD requires a US billing address for any credit card purchase so it refused my order every time.

I call this lecture and it adds an important component to the experience. Corporal punishment should always be supported with clear and precise description of why the punishment is being done. It should be extremely painful while it is being applied, and the area it was applied to should remain very tender for a period of time afterwards. There is no question that welts will be raised and bottoms bruised, but chastisement should never leave permanent marks.Ī dose of corporal punishment should have a dual effect. ![]() Some of the physical punishments described are meant to be painful. They do not involve torture, brutality, cruelty, or anything that could cause lasting harm. The training methods suggested do involve strict discipline, and strong doses of corporal punishment. There should never be any doubt in his mind about your ability to administer this punishment. He must always be aware that any rebellion or hesitation on his part will not be tolerated and will be met with additional punishment. In many instances your discipline will involve tasks and ordeals that he will find highly objectionable. Vigilance means being aware of almost everything he is doing and keeping your rules consistent and predictably enforced. The well-disciplined husband is a direct result of constant vigilance on the part of the wife. If the husband is allowed to dictate when he will or will not obey an order, then that leaves some question as to who is really in charge, doesn’t it? Once he has agreed to these terms and understands that the whole scene will end permanently if he is not cooperative, you are ready to begin. The first time he refuses to obey an order you need to stop and have a serious talk with him right then and there. He must render complete obedience to you with regard to disciplinary issues at all times and must be willing to carry out any and all orders you give him without question or hesitation. The first thing you must do is to explain the golden rule of your proposed (or existing) disciplinary relationship. You will also discover how a simple punishment session can act as a pressure release valve for both you and your husband. If he does what you say quickly and obediently, then you are well on your way to a new and interesting relationship. Familiarity with being subject to your discipline will grow over time and it may take a little while to reach the stage where immediate, full compliance can be expected. However, if this is new for you, it will take some practice. ![]() He should respond to your instructions for receiving discipline without argument.
