![]() ![]() The Switch Edition tops out at the Medium size, with a maximum world size of 3072x3072 blocks. On the Xbox One Edition and PlayStation 4 Edition, you have more options, including Small (1024x1024 blocks), Medium (3072x3072), and Large (5120x5120). For the PlayStation 3 Edition, Xbox 360 Edition, PlayStation Vita Edition, and Wii U Edition, you're stuck with a maximum world size of 864x864 blocks, known in the game as the "Classic" size. Any world you build will eventually have an invisible wall and endless sea you cannot cross. All of the console editions retain a world size limit. Then there's the Console Editions, which is where the Switch version has room to shine a bit. My major problem with Pocket Edition is it uses on-screen controls, which are frankly not my jam, and performance is variable depending on which iOS or Android device you're using. The Pocket Edition is Mojang's second focus, with add-on support and infinite worlds since the hefty 0.9.0 release in 2014. The Desktop client for PC and Mac is by far the most fully-featured, with infinite worlds, great performance on even years-old PCs, and full support for add-ons and mods. So what differentiates the Switch Edition from what came before?įirst, it's worth separating the desktop client, Pocket Edition, and Console Editions. Minecraft is a game that gives you back what you're willing to put into it. Many may have seen the massive structures and artistic works hardcore Minecraft fans have built in the game's Creative Mode: cities, working calculators, and homages to their favorite movies, TV shows, and more.

Lastly, that God should be given the ultimate authority in scripture, therefore not watering it down to fit personal preferences. Second, it should be grammatically correct. According to the Lockman Foundation, the primary group behind the creation of the NASB, there were four aims with the translation: First, it must be true to the original Hebrew, Greek, and Aramaic. Just a few short years before the NIV was published, another group of believers put together a strong English translation known as the New American Standard Bible. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.” - Galatians 2:20 New American Standard Bible (NASB) “I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. This is due to the ease of reading and level of accuracy that the NIV offers. Though many great translations have come after the NIV, it remains the #1 or #2 choice for readers in most polls. Within a decade, it became the best selling modern English Bible. After a decade of work, the International Bible Society and Zondervan published the first full NIV Bible in 1978. As we made our way beyond the middle of the 20th century, there were many voices calling for an updated translation that could reach a more modern world. If there is any competition for the King James Version when it comes to the most popular Bible translations, it is definitely the New International Version. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.” - Galatians 2:20 New International Version (NIV) It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. ![]() Considering the date of its publication, however, we expect to see an increase in its usage over time. While many scholars and young people enjoy the ESV, it has not quite become one of the elites in the list of most popular Bible translations. Published only about two decades ago, the ESV builds upon a rich history of Bible translation from Tyndale and other English translations such as the Revised Standard Version for a text that brings in some of the best aspects of earlier editions and gives scripture a modern, “essentially literal” (their words) translation. “I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.” - Galatians 2:20 English Standard Version (ESV)įor those looking to enjoy one of the most popular Bible translations that favors a modern voice, the English Standard Version is great. To the modern reader it may sound as antiquated as William Shakespeare’s work, but there are many today who will read nothing but the KJV and it’s still the prefered translation for the majority of Bible readers. In the early 17th century, his translation, often called the Authorized Version, was completed and quickly became the translation of choice. King James I of England was made aware that several inadequate translations of scripture were passing through the area and so decided to create a new and more trustworthy edition. In England the KJV was preceded by the work of John Wycliffe in the 15th century and William Tyndale decades later. While the writings of both the Old and New Testaments floated throughout history, passing from believer to believer and between places of worship, it wasn’t until the invention of tools like the printing press that God’s Word could be found so readily available. The King James Version is the grandaddy of modern Biblical translations. If you’ve always wondered where the most popular Bible translations came from, let’s review some of today’s most sought after editions of the Bible. The most popular Bible translations are often those which most help readers understand what is being said (Shocking, we know). Many prefer the classic Bible versions that have maintained popularity for centuries while others need a more updated look at these early Christian writings. ![]() What are the most popular Bible translations? It may depend on who you ask. ![]() We live in a great time of exploring the “good Book” as there are a number of translations available for us to study. Psalm 119:105 says “Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.” At least that’s what it says in the New American Standard Bible. Reading the Bible is an essential part of the Christian experience. ![]() ![]() ![]() Continued abuse of our services will cause your IP address to be blocked indefinitely. ![]() Please fill out the CAPTCHA below and then click the button to indicate that you agree to these terms.

In April 2023, Mohari Hospitality acquired a majority stake in Tao Group Hospitality for 363M. In real life, TAO’s opening was in fact, a big Manhattan event. A dramatic scene plays out in which Samantha tells Big off for playing with Carrie’s emotions, and is a turning point in the physical relationship between her and Maria (i.e., it gets physical shortly thereafter Samantha’s lionhearted speech). Fans of the show will remember this is where Carrie brings her date Ray King (Craig Bierko), along with Charlotte, Miranda, Samantha and her lesbian artist friend, Maria (Sonia Braga), when she runs into Big and a model companion. ![]() Tao is the most prominent example of a fictionalized restaurant opening that actually happened around the same time. Cut to season 4, and actual restaurant openings were not only name-checked on the show but fictional versions of their opening parties were recreated on the series.

Frustrated, he rested his head on his hand and punched the water with his other hand. Tick-Tock then looked furious as he watched his meal get away. Seems relatively well made but probably wont stand up to a kid who likes to smash and crash things. Great for older toddlers that wont throw things. It projects a skull and cross bones as well as the shadow of the crocs k9 teeth. He jumped away just as Tick-Tock bit down. Love this flashlight The tick-tock and chomp sounds are cute. Jobe reached the shore and climbed out of the water, and then ran onto the shore just as Tick-Tock opened his maw to chomp him. Tick-Tock was still after him, of course. And even though Jobe is not his main quarry, Captain Hook, this encounter will obviously end the same way it did with all of the others.Īfter a couple of minutes of swimming, Jobe finally neared the shore, which was indicated by a narrow beach and many coconut trees. ![]() In this short story, Jobe has re-formed from his second digestion by Shere Khan and has now moved on to the seas of Neverland, where he will meet his next villain: the evil, yet comically hungry Tick-Tock the Crocodile from Peter Pan. ![]() So I could live it vicariously through him, so to speak. As Jobe is based on me, appearance-wise and personality-wise, he'd be the closest thing I could have to me getting eaten by these villains myself. As I have said before, I'd always imagined them making meals out of me. My Flesh & Fur deuteragonist, Jobe, has already been eaten by five Disney villains, one of whom has eaten him twice - Legend of Tarzan villains Tublat, the evil gorilla, and Kaj, the evil Leopard Man who worked in the service of Queen La, Merlock, the main villain of Duck Tales: the Movie - Raiders of the Lost Lamp, even a human predator, Stromboli, the gypsy serving as a minor villain from Pinocchio, the feral form of the evil Shere Khan from The Jungle Book, and, most recently, the anthro form of Shere Khan from Tale Spin ! We will again continue this series of comics involving Jobe getting eaten by more of my favorite Disney villains. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() In the end, my shebang looks like #!/usr/bin/pil -argv dummy len bind the first argument (path to script) to dummy second argument to len len isn't actually going to be loaded because (bye) has been called before its loading starts. This means I can't pass another "-" argument to pil The problem is, it can only pass one argument: everything after the space in the shebang is passed to the program as $1 in shell notation. The shebang tells the kernel to pass this file to the specified program, like #!/bin/bash It can also pass an argument to the program, for instance, #!/usr/bin/pulseaudio -nF in some PulseAudio config files. srand(expr) Uses expr as a new seed for the random number generator. There's just one problem: I have to write this command in the shebang. buffer, compares it against the search string, and if the comparison passes. Using cat /dev/urandom was making my application hang since this file. This would've been the solution: pil -"argv dummy dummy len" random-string - 60 would bind dummy to "random-string", then to "-", then len to "60", after which it'll load my script where len is available. In this specific case I had to generate a random string with 4096 bytes programmatically. If pil sees an argument that's just a "-", it'll stop loading subsequent arguments as files. For example, -bye runs (bye) immediately, exiting the program -argv dummy len runs (argv dummy len) which binds the first command line argument to dummy and second to len but those arguments are still going to be loaded as files. Pil reads command line arguments starting with a "-" as a function to run or, more specifically, as a form to evaluate after wrapping it in parentheses. That seemed unstatisfying to me (I don't know why now that I've realized how hacky this next solution is), so I went with a hack to bind the first command line argument to a variable in the script. There are two ways around this: one is to simply wrap the whole thing into a shell script, and handle arguments there. This becomes a problem when the whole point of the script is to be a shell command. The interpreter itself processes arguments as files to load or functions to invoke. In fact, you do not even need to use dd here. The problem starts here, and is related to this 256 byte limit. Let's look at each of the commands: dd if/dev/urandom bs256 count1 2> /dev/null This will read a single 256 byte block from /dev/urandom, a cryptographically secure random source. In Picolisp, command line arguments can't be accessed directly in the program. 1 Answer Sorted by: 26 No, it's not entirely secure. Is there a way to get a 'random' number (one that would be the same in every instance) given a string I would like to do this in bash. I first saw Picolisp because it is currently (as of 2018-10) the only Lisp family language packaged in Termux. ![]() ![]() ![]() 3,4 The at-home utilization of these devices also increases the risks of complications associated with patient errors in their appropriate care and management. Prolonged catheter placement can cause numerous complications, including infection, thrombosis, and device dysfunction. However, the clinically stable patient may benefit from partial or complete oral antibiotics by improving their mobility, reducing the risk of IV catheter–related infections and discomfort, as well as reducing healthcare costs. This mantra is indeed warranted in acutely ill patients, such as those with sepsis, as timely IV antibiotics can be lifesaving. 1 IV antibiotics are generally thought to be the mainstay of treatment for BSIs with their high bioavailability and fast peak plasma levels. Oral therapy offers several benefits with similar outcomes, and the decision to treat a patient with oral antibiotics should be based on current evidence as well as patient, pathogen, and drug characteristics.īacterial bloodstream infections (BSIs) are a considerable cause of morbidity and mortality, with nearly 30 million cases worldwide each year resulting in 6 million deaths and insurmountable costs.

He teaches the Electronic Music Ensemble at the University of Michigan. Steve is one of the few people who plays MicroMoog and some of the other more primitive synthesizers. Geoff and I became really good friends with him and started talking about what Steve does. I heard him playing and I really loved his music. We must have gone through there three or four times before we started playing together. It's a pretty rare thing to have Coltrane and Sun Ra as part of a church service. I met Steve and he was doing all this amazing stuff like the jazz service. They also have a performance series and so we played at that performance series. They have an amazing jazz Mass, where he plays Sun Ra and Coltrane compositions for the church service. We were on a tour of the northeast and the mid-west, a circuit I've been doing for a couple of years, and Steve Rush, in addition to being the professor of new music at the University of Michigan, books shows at Canterbury House in Ann Arbor, Mich.
