We Are the World featured superstars such as Michael Jackson, Stevie Wonder, Bruce Springsteen, Bob Dylan, Ray Charles and Diana Ross and raised millions of dollars.

His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus.” Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. “Don’t worry about anything instead, pray about everything. (Available as a Free Download Here: 40 Scriptures to Fight against Worry, Fear and Anxiety with the truth from God’s Word) So while I suggest reciting or praying Scripture out loud, you might be thinking, “which ones?” I’m so glad you asked.īelow are my favorite 40 Bible verses when I feel worried, anxious, or afraid: Sometimes when we are anxious, worried, or panicked, it’s hard for us to think clearly or rationally. I suggest reciting the scripture out loud because His Word says that “faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.” Which anxiety scriptures should I choose? So praying God’s word back to Him reminds Him that there are still things we are depending on Him for, and He promised that His word, even spoken by us, will yield results. God promises that “so is my word that goes out from my mouth: It will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it” (Isaiah 55:11). When I walked through the dark night of my soul, while I participated in therapy, tried medication, made sure to eat a balanced diet, exercised, and made rest a priority, none of that made as big and as positive of an impact as did reciting Scripture. The enemy whispers lies to us to get us to give in to worry, fear, and anxiety.Įach time we take our eyes off God as our provider, our sustainer, our healer, our deliverer, our refuge, we open the door to anxiety, and with it often comes the ugly step-sister, depression. Remember, “For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and sound mind” (2 Timothy 1:7).

I only played it for a couple hours because it started to get boring. ![]() ![]() Our approach is therefore to express streams as ISA primitives, which we argue can enable: prefetch stream accesses to hide memory latency, semi-binding decoupled access to remove address computation and optimize the memory interface, and finally inform cache policies. In this work, we propose ISA-extensions for decoupled-streams, which interact with the core using a FIFO-based interface. We implement optimizations for each of the aforementioned opportunities on an aggressive wide-issue OOO core and evaluate with SPEC CPU 2017 and CortexSuite. Across all workloads, we observe about 1.37× speedup and energy efficiency improvement over hardware stride prefetching. Speculative execution, the base on which modern high-performance general-purpose CPUs are built on, has recently been shown to en- able a slew of security attacks. All these attacks are centered around a common set of behaviors: During speculative execution, the architectural state of the system is kept unmodified, until the speculation can be verified. In the event that a misspeculation occurs, then any- thing that can affect the architectural state is reverted (squashed) and re-executed correctly. However, the same is not true for the microarchitectural state. Normally invisible to the user, changes to the microarchitectural state can be observed through various side- channels, with timing differences caused by the memory hierarchy being one of the most common and easy to exploit. The speculative side-channels can then be exploited to perform attacks that can bypass software and hardware checks in order to leak information. These attacks, out of which the most infamous are perhaps Spectre and Meltdown, have led to a frantic search for solutions. In this work, we present our own solution for reducing the microarchitectural state-changes caused by speculative execution in the memory hierarchy. It is based on the observation that if we only allow accesses that hit in the L1 data cache to proceed, then we can easily hide any microarchitectural changes until after the speculation has been verified. At the same time, we propose to prevent stalls by value predicting the loads that miss in the L1. Value prediction, though speculative, constitutes an invisible form of speculation, not seen outside the core. We evaluate our solution and show that we can prevent observable microarchitectural changes in the memory hierarchy while keeping the performance and energy costs at 11% and 7%, respectively. In comparison, the current state of the art solution, InvisiSpec, incurs a 46% performance loss and a 51% energy increase.

Having data backup and disaster recovery systems in place is an important first step, but documenting what to do in the event of a crisis is vital. Without a data backup, there is virtually nothing to recover. The reason for this is simple data backup can exist without disaster recovery, but not the other way around. While data backup and disaster recovery are different, most organizations utilize them together. Data Backup and a Disaster Recovery Planīackup and disaster recovery (BDR) combines data backup and disaster recovery to ensure an organization’s resilience and operations continuity. A common recommendation is to store the backup data in the cloud at two geographically separated locations.Ī 3-2-1 data backup strategy provides a structure and process for ensuring data resilience under almost any circumstance. A commonly used tactic is to have one backup stored on a network-attached device or a file server and another stored on removable media or another server.Īt least one copy of the two backups should be stored at a separate location from the production data and the other backup. The way it works is this:Īlways have at least three distinct copies of the data-one is the production set, and the other two are backups.Īt least two copies of the production data should be kept on secure storage devices that are physically independent of each other. The 3-2-1 data backup strategy is brilliant in its simplicity. Designed to take into account a number of worst-case scenarios, the data backup strategy ensures that at least one copy of data will be available to use for recovery and operations restoration. The list of information in a data backup varies, but a few common examples are:Ī 3-2-1 data backup strategy provides a structure and process for ensuring data resilience under almost any circumstance. What Data Should Be Included in a Backup?Īny data that cannot be easily recreated or replaced should be included in data backup as a rule of thumb. Perform a checksum to verify that the original and backup files are identical.Ensure that the file dates and sizes are identical to the original copies.Confirm that there are no errors in opening files.Verify backups to ensure validity by performing spot checks to:.Locate the backup data in several locations, one of which is offsite (e.g., the 3-2-1 data backup strategy, which is explained in further detail below). ![]()
![]() ![]() Kitsch was signed for a three-film deal, but those other two films never came, and once again, Channing Tatum expressed interest in taking over the role. Gambit was portrayed in his only live-action film appearance by Taylor Kitsch, but his take on the character was not very well-received. It was not, in part because the writing and direction failed Remy in many large ways, but also because scheduling conflicts removed the star set to bring the character to life. The film as a whole was rough, but Gambit's appearance in it was expected to be a breakout hit. Unfortunately, that later film was the deeply unfortunate X-Men Origins: Wolverine. Due to the change in crew and direction, the filmmakers planned to introduce the character in a big way in a later film. For the first time of several, Channing Tatum was in talks for the role and seemed very enthusiastic to portray the character. The cameo was cut and Singer did not return to direct the third film, so Gambit was left absent from the first trilogy. Bryan Singer, director of the first two films, intended to give the character a brief cameo in X2 before a larger role in X-Men: The Last Stand. Storm brought Gambit into the X-Men, where he fell in love with Rogue and rose to be one of their most valuable members.įilmmakers wanted to get Gambit in the X-Men series from the earliest days. Remy was exiled from his home, leading to a brief career in the service of a supervillain before encountering a fellow mutant called Storm. In his teenage years, he attempted to fulfill that expectation by marrying an assassin, but her family opposed the union, leading Remy to slay a relative of hers in a duel. His adopted father was the guild's powerful patriarch, a superstitious man who believed that the young Remy was prophesied to end a war between the thieves guild and a local order of assassins. LeBeau hails from New Orleans, where he was raised by a guild of thieves who trained him in their illicit art. Gambit, born Remy Etienne LeBeau, is a mutant with the power to manipulate kinetic energy, which he typically wields through throwing playing cards. Gambit was created by Chris Claremont in 1990 and has remained a beloved character in the franchise ever since. RELATED: Kevin Feige On If X-Men And Fantastic Four Sped-Up Multiverse Plans Gambit has appeared in exactly one of them, but his absence was not for lack of trying, as multiple filmmakers have tried and failed to get Gambit to the big screen. There have been thirteen theatrical X-Men films divided into an initial trilogy, the aforementioned Wolverine films, two Deadpool movies, four entries in a prequel series, and the ill-fated New Mutants. Amongst a trilogy of Wolverine-centric films, another mutant was finally set to get his time in the spotlight. It's fair to call the X-Men the most popular superhero team of all time, but the distribution of popularity amongst its members has been far from fair. ![]() ![]() ![]() Now you can run the installer again to install Soundflower for Mac without any problem.
