![]() ![]() The Valknut has also been linked to the somewhat similarly designed Triglav of Slavic mythology - a symbol of the three-headed god. – in Gods and Myths of Northern Europe, HR Ellis DavidsonĪ Symbol of The Heart of Hrungnir or Heart of the Slain (The Heart Theory) We know Odin’s connection with cremation, and it does not seem unreasonable therefore to associate them with Woden, god of the dead in Anglo-Saxon England. Symbols resembling this knot of Odin are found beside figures of the horse and the wolf on certain cremation urns from early heathen cemeteries in East Anglia. Odin had the power to lay bonds upon the mind, so that men became helpless in battle, and he could also loosen the tensions of fear and strain by his gifts of battle-madness, intoxication, and inspiration. The most reliable historians on the subject seem to lean towards the Valknutr symbolizing the power of Odin to bind and unbind the fates of men and specifically to death and sacrifice, including by English scholar and Celtic, Anglo-Saxon and Old Norse specialist HR Ellis Davidson in her Gods and Myths of Northern Europe. This is thought to symbolize the power of the god to bind and unbind – in Gods and Myths of Northern Europe, HR Ellis Davidson The Norwegian name is shared with the “looped square” symbol (⌘) which is a symbol also used to designate places of interest in the Nordics (and also seen on picture stones from the Iron and Viking Ages) and other European countries.īeside the figure of Odin on his horse shown on several memorial stones there is a kind of knot depicted, called the valknut, related to the triskele. Only, we don’t actually have any evidence to suggest that the Norsemen used to call it this. The name Valknútr is actually a fairly recent Norwegian name for the symbol (first attributed to this symbol in 1945), and is made up of two words, valr (“warrior”) and knútr (“knot”) - so it would literally mean “knot of warriors”. Valknut Etymology: Origins and Alternative Names Despite its use by some supremacist groups, the Nordic Valknut is still seen as a symbol of courage and power, and remains an authentic part of Norse mythology. Today, the Valknut is often used in tattoos and art to signify courage and strength. However, many believe that it was used to symbolize life and death, as well as a connection to the Valkyries, the female warriors in Norse mythology. 800-825 CE)ĭespite having found the symbol on so many Viking Age runestones in and around Scandinavia, the meaning of the symbol is still uncertain to historians, and it is unclear as well what exactly it symbolized for the Vikings.

![]() This story clearly illustrates how an eye for an eye can make the whole world blind. What started as a simple falling out between two old friends, led to many brutal killings and the destruction of both the families. Draupadi asked for revenge, which the Pandavas obtained by snatching away the precious jewel that Ashvatthama had worn since birth and Sri Krishna cursing him to roam around in desolation for 3,000 years. ![]() At the end of the war, he attacked the Pandava camp at night and killed Dhrishtadyumna and all five of Draupadi’s sons. The deceitful manner in which Drona had been killed reignited the fire of revenge this time, in the heart of Ashvatthama. At this point, Dhrishtadyumna attacked and beheaded him. A heartbroken Drona gave up his arms and sat down to meditate. The latter part of his speech, that it was a war elephant, was inaudible amidst the blowing of conch shells by the Pandavas. When Drona refused to believe it, Yudhishthira, who was known to always speak the truth, told Drona that Ashvatthama had indeed been killed. Bhima killed a war elephant named Ashvatthama and the word was spread that Ashvatthama had been killed. On the 15th day of the war, Drupada was killed by Drona during the fighting.Ī plan was hatched by the Pandavas to use Drona’s love for his son, Ashvatthama, to kill him. In the battle of Kurukshetra, Dhrishtadyumna became the commander-in-chief of the Pandava army. ![]() Draupadi grew up and married the five Pandavas. From the fire of the yajna, a son, Dhrishtadyumna, and a daughter, Draupadi, were born. ![]() Drupada performed the Putrakameshti yajna to obtain a son who could defeat Drona. ![]() ![]() ![]() To swap platforms in the middle of work, you have to reboot your computer entirely so it’s not easy to share files - sometimes it’s impossible - or work on the same projects. It’s useful because you can have both instances, while keeping them separate, but that also comes with a series of inconveniences. Typically, when you want to install another operating system on your computer you use a method called dual-booting.This involves figuratively splitting your computer in two, rebooting to use one operating system or the other. VMware’s solutions provide seamless virtual environments We’ll get to why that is in a bit, but for now, the big takeaway is that virtual machines are incredibly useful for all kinds of users, not just enterprise-level professionals and tech savants. In fact, VMware’s offerings are some of the best for running multiple operating systems and environments from a single computer. There are many VM solutions out there, chief among them are VMware’s platforms, including Fusion Pro and Workstation Pro. Developers, engineers, and IT admins have been using virtual machines for years. ![]() We’ve barely touched upon most things you can do with a VM, however, especially a capable one. Some more examples include handling potential malware or downloading packages safely, cloning systems as a backup or testing ground, and even developing small applications for systems you don’t have access to. Just like with physical computers, there are a lot of useful things you can do with VMs too, like running Windows or Linux apps on a Mac, for instance. Think of it as having a totally new computer except it’s inside the computer you already have. They create a virtual environment for running entire operating systems - like Windows - and exclusive applications, all contained in a virtual sandbox that is securely isolated from the physical computer. In reality, they’re simple in terms of how they work and the applications they’re used for.

Note that state lines are not deformed, a common method of showing palinspastic restorations in many publication rather state-county lines are minimized until the time slice at which the terrane arrives at its present location for a given area. apart.Īll of the features on the maps are palinspastically restored - that is, the positions of various terranes and blocks are shown in their presumed location during a given time slice. ![]() between maps and only two time slices are more than 20 m. The 36 time slices mark a reduction from the 90+ maps in the original North American series but this strategy was considered to be a necessity of time as most maps in the new series took 40 – 60 hours each to complete. Particular attention was paid to making sure that tectonic and geologic events between adjacent time slices made geologic, geographic (space issues), and tectonic sense. The maps were compiled from many sources (see references) and are based on many different tectonic models numerous compromises between varying models were necessary, especially models of terrane accretion. Their detail and image size make them some of my most detailed maps. The maps represent a complete redo of the previous North American series map size and resolution were increased by nearly twice and new data from the geologic literature were used in map preparation. The Key-Time-slice series of paleogeographic maps for North America was completed in June, 2013. ![]() ![]() ![]() It teaches us how we should look at creation. The circle teaches us how the Creator made things and how to live. "Life, the circle, a measurement with no beginning and no end." Happy is he who lives in this world free from passion, has overcome sensual enjoyment, and who has attained mastership over the conceit of "I am." This indeed is the highest happiness. Happy is he who lives in this world free from ill-will, and is benevolent towards all beings. Happy is he who lives contented in solitude, is well-versed in the Doctrine and who has realized it. It’s the fear of what comes after the doing that makes the doing hard to do. "Tough times don't last, only tough folks do" "Courage is the power to let go of the familiar." - Raymond Lindquist © Copyright 1991-2013 by Narcotics Anonymous World Services, Inc. ![]() When the need arises, I know I will be able to trust in that care. Just for today : I will seek to improve my conscious contact with the Higher Power that cares for me. The more consistently we seek to improve our conscious appreciation of these principles, the more readily we will be able to apply them. "Our program is a set of principles," our White Booklet tells us. Then, we will seek guidance and power for the situation at hand and proceed calmly, confident that our lives are in God's hands. This will assure us that our Higher Power is still in charge of our lives. Rather than acting rashly, we will stop for a moment and briefly remind ourselves of particular instances in the past when our Higher Power has shown its care for us. What happens when we find ourselves stressed or panicked? If we have consistently sought to improve our relationship with our Higher Power, we'll have no problem. Unless we learn to consciously apply this spiritual truth, we may miss out on something as essential to our recovery as breathing is to life itself. Because this principle is so basic, we may tend to ignore it. One such principle is that, if we ask, our Higher Power will care for us. Our program is based on the idea that the application of simple principles can produce profound effects in our lives. "We believe that our Higher Power will take care of us." I pray that my life today may be lived close to His and to theirs. I pray that I may be loyal to God and to others. Then, when our prayer is answered, we are bound together in a lasting fellowship of the spirit. Then it follows that our prayer will be answered according to God's will. ![]() Then, when God is there and one with us, we voice a common prayer. Then, when this condition has been fulfilled, God is present with us. "We are gathered together in Thy name." First, we are gathered together, bound by a common loyalty to God and to each other. Could I be the only exception to this rule? Many alcoholics have tried drinking after a period of sobriety from a few days to a few years and no one that we know of has been successful in becoming a normal drinker. This has never been disproved by any case we know of. and stay sober from then on? There are many reasons, but it has been proved without exception that once we have become alcoholics we can never drink successfully again. Why do these slips occur? Why don't we all accept A.A. way is the way of sobriety, and yet there are slips. © Copyright 1990 by Alcoholics Anonymous World Services, Inc. In remembering that every member is an example of sobriety, each one living the Eleventh Tradition, I am able to experience freedom because each one of us is anonymous. Humility brings me closer to the actual spirit of togetherness and oneness, without which I could not stay sober. ![]() The basic concept of humility is expressed in the Eleventh Tradition: It allows me to participate completely in the program in such a simple, yet, profound manner it fulfills my need to be an integral part of a significant whole. In it, each member becomes an active guardian of our Fellowship. This tradition is a constant and practical reminder that personal ambition has no place in A.A. It is more than a denial of self-seeking. To us, however, it represents far more than a sound public relations policy. Together WE Trudge The Road OF Happy Destiny ![]() ![]() ![]() I had no weapons, I found pretty much no hostile players, and I wouldn’t like it anyway. The economy system is neat: farm all the ores, sell them off quickly, or at the auction house where you can earn more credits. Definitely not the kind of game you want to be playing if you have an absolute lack of patience and time. ![]() Space travel is as expected - long periods of traveling in your ship with nothing much happening for thousands of kilometers. Most of which, unfortunately, I was not quite able to test. The basic fundamentals of an MMO are there - space travel, economy system, acquiring materials, even combat. It is kind of a shame that Starbase is so inaccessible to newbies because otherwise the concept is excellent. Other players also report a plethora of ship-building issues, which I didn’t experience because I can’t get enough credits to build my own ship!) and I sometimes wonder if the struggle is genuinely worth it. Add to this what appears to be bugs of varying degrees (I, for one, am unable to get shop terminals, of all things, to appear, and I have absolutely no idea what I’m doing wrong or how even to buy something. This is not conveyed to you via the tutorials in-game, and it’s disheartening to make a lot of wasted trips to the asteroid belt, find nothing (because of the aforementioned asteroid location issues), then have to fly back to the station before you run out of fuel. Fuel rods have to be obtained by some rather convoluted method and then replaced manually into your ship by yet another complicated method. Go out and struggle through the microscopic dots on your screen to hopefully find the asteroid you need, and pray it isn’t the wrong type of ore.Ī lot of the stuff that you need to learn to get around the game is all based on external resources, like the Starbase wiki, which increases my frustration with the user-friendliness even further. Oh, you didn’t get it during your first mining trip? Too bad. When that’s all said and done, the next objective suddenly requires you to have amassed two specific types of ore. You have to locate asteroids in the asteroid belt to mine, but because the depth perception in this game is pretty awful and there are no helpful indicators to show how far away is the nearest asteroid finding asteroids to mine proved to be an unreasonable chore. An early tutorial mission required mining a bunch of material, and it was quite possibly one of the most frustrating experiences I had in this game or any other game for that matter. This is further compounded by the tutorials (and the game in general) not being as helpful as they could possibly be. I’ve not played a game of this scale before, I will admit, so speaking from a newbie-oriented experience, it is incredibly daunting to learn everything, up to the point where I have to take screenshots, so I don’t forget the keybinds. The first thing you notice is there are many systems in the game, from building to dismantling ships, mining, and piloting ships. The nature of this game is quite a culture shock to anyone that has played their past offerings. Fans of previous Frozenbyte games, unfortunately, will likely find this incredibly jarring to play. You load the game up, pick an origin point out of a pre-selected set, and then spawn into a base as a robot with a series of tutorials. Of course, one must be mindful of if the servers go down for maintenance. I’m happy to say this situation is now much better a few weeks after launch, it is easy to fire up the game and jump into a server. After playing it for a while, I firmly believe it, oh dear.Īt launch, the servers were incredibly unstable. It is a space MMO with a combination of a voxel/vertex-based aesthetic that Frozenbyte fully stresses is in alpha state at the time of review. Starbase, undoubtedly, is Frozenbyte’s most ambitious project thus far, with development having started around 2014, before an announcement in 2019, and then Early Access release at the end of July 2021. None have been anywhere near the scale of this offering, however. Indie stalwart Frozenbyte has certainly been around for quite a while, with the general scope of their releases ranging from single-player experiences (Shadowgrounds, Shadwen, Has-Been Heroes) to games that have a potential multiplayer element to it (Trine series, Nine Parchments, Boreal Blade).
