And also it could've had more widgets than it has now. Perhaps the biggest drawback of WeatherBug is that its Now page is overloaded with info. And if you run out of mobile traffic or there will be no Wi-Fi hotspot nearby - you can cache some weather data to view it later offline. It includes such layers as air humidity, barometric pressure, temperature, heat index, wind rate/chill etc.Īdditionally, it has 3 types of maps: weather, satellite and interactive. The application also has a helpful radar map, hidden in the left tray. It alerts you about possible lightning in your vicinity, and if you pull up its map, you'll see areas affected with lightning across the globe: from Managua to Reykjavik. What makes the app stand out though, is its exclusive Spark feature - the pocket lightning-detector. However, it covers the current day only, and no future detailed weather prediction is provided. But in case you'd like a more microscopic insight, you can go to Details and watch an exhaustive forecast, which even predicts the exact wind/rain rate. Those hourly forecasts can cover at least seven days. #Weather bug androidFor some reason, Weather by WeatherBug iOS version supports only one-week outlook, unlike its Android "sibling". For example, in the Now page, you can browse the hourly forecast with a 12-hour time span. These are the fundamental features: you can tweak them with a bit of customization.
Xmenu marked as corrupted on xbox 36011/28/2022 ![]() I don't have a transfer cable so mine was on a USB stick MU. There is any number of programs that will do this but I used Le Fluffie. I'll lay out what I did below in case it helps anyone in the future with a bafflingly corrupt profile.įirst, extract the contents of my corrupt profile. My second idea was to create a new profile that didn't have whatever the hell is wrong with my corrupt profile and just overwrite all of its contents with the dumped contents of the corrupt profile.Īnd I finally was able to implement the second idea successfully! My first idea was just to build a file from scratch out of the dumped contents of the profile in Le Fluffie, which resulted in the half-working zombie profile above. So I was intent on fixing my original profile. Thanks so much InsaneNutter! I was planning to do that as a last resort, but the reason I didn't like the idea was someday if I logged back into Live I wanted to be clean with all my achievements updated and any DLC I'd bought, etc. I therefore ran the content locks program to reset it to 0 and then the photo album worked. I just dont get if the game save file (584 KB) and the Photo Album (3.22MB) are cleaned with same programs then why the save game showed up its ass just fine while the photo album was still detected as corrupted. One particular prob was MC: LA's photo album. The other "corrupted" (and now cleaned) game saves like MC: LA run fine on this console. And only after that my profile showed fine on my new console. It resets the device ID, console ID to 0. Then I got this app- Xbox 360 Content locks (it is found somewhere in this very forum). I had no idea what to do as it was also cleaned with consaver (rehashed with new console's ID). But it continued to show corrupted profile. As I mentioned above I thought I would just have to push the profile in the memory stick and it will be fine on that new console. Luckily I got a xbox arcade in exchange for my phat ps3. #Xmenu marked as corrupted on xbox 360 PcI always used to backup it through the usb to my PC and unflagged and rehashed with con flag remover and xbox 360 hash calculator respectively knowing the fact that each time I put that "cleaned" profile in a flagged/banned console it gets "corrupted" again. My gamer profile was 11 MB in size with 20,000+ Gamerscore. My previous xbox 20 GB had a spoofed sammy drive and therefore it was penalized as failed ap25 challenge and after couple of months it was upgraded to lt+ it became useless with e64 error. All those hundreds of hours I spent getting those achievements. I hope somebody please knows what I can do. I found that the program "Le Fluffie" let me edit this garbled text, but Modio still shows it on the bottom left after resigning unlike the other profiles. I can't edit that text though.Īlso after resigning there is some similar garbled text on the bottom left. The working dummy profile I created on the left shows that the "file details" should be the same as the "profile id", but my corrupt profile has a bunch of gibberish after that. I think I may have a clue to what's wrong with my profile. Are there any alternatives I might not have found? Something I can do with homebrew on my JTAG? Or something that will work as long as I never care about online? If I made friends with somebody smarter than me would it be possible to have somebody else look at the actual profile file and give me advice? And even if I decided to give up on all my past achievements and saves the games I'm currently in the middle of have effectively locked me out since the saves are tied to "corrupt profile".Ĭonsidering the plethora of guides to uncorrupting I thought surely I'd get something to work. I've never gone online but once years ago when I had only played one game, so doing that now to "recover gametag" would accomplish nothing but resetting my hundreds of achievements to nothing and getting me banned. Modio confirms that apparently all my stuff is still IN my profile, but resigning/rehashing via it does nothing either. #Xmenu marked as corrupted on xbox 360 plusI've spent about 10 hours going up and down stairs trying every variant of every tutorial I could for uncorrupting profiles, but no matter what I do the result is exactly the same on both systems.Ĭon Flag Remover/Consaver plus Hash Block Calculator both seem like they're doing what the tutorials say they should be, but still no results. I didn't tamper with any of the contents and I haven't gone online with either machine. Then my profile suddenly isn't there and I get "profile corrupted" when I look where it's supposed to be in the memory settings. I have one ixtreme box for certain games and one jtag in another room for other games and I've been keeping my single profile on a USB stick. ![]() Symbol greater than less than equal to11/27/2022 ![]() Some mathematical objects can be compared, e.g, of two different integers one is greater, the other smaller. The midpoint M = (A + B) /2 = (0, 4) lies on the y-axis. In geometry, as another example, one may introduce point A = (2, 3) and another point B = (-2, 5). After it is given, we may talk of the powers of function f, its derivative f', or of its iterates f(f(x)), f(f(f(x))). This is neither a statement, nor a request to solve an equation. In algebra, one may define a function f(x) = x² + 2x³. For example, in Einstein's law, E = mc², E and m are variables, while c is constant. This usage is similar to the statement of physical laws. It simply says that the two expressions, (x + y)² on the left, and x² + 2xy + y² on the right are equal regardless of specific values of x and y. For example, (x + y)² = x² + 2xy + y² is a statement that is not supposed to be solved. The reason for the later usage I think is that in algebra a constant expression may contain variable-like symbols to denote generic numbers. Nowadays, they use the term "equation" in both cases, the former is being said to be a constant equation. If they include variables, A = B is called an equation. I was taught that the statement A = B in which A and B is constant, fixed expressions, is called an equality or identity. In this particular case, there is only one value of x which does the job, namely x = 3. The request to solve x + 1 = 4 means to find the value (or values) of x, which x + 1 is equal to 4. For example, x + 1 = 4, depending of what x may stand for, may or may not be correct. If the expressions A and B are not constant, i.e., if they contain variables, then most often A = B means a request to find the values of the variables, for which A becomes equal to B. While 1 + 2 ≠ 4 is a correct statement, 1 + 1 ≠ 2 is not. But the meaning is just the opposite from "=". ![]() The same holds for the symbol "≠", not equal. ![]() While 1 + 1 = 2 is a correct statement, 1 + 2 = 4 is not. So, being equal, does not necessarily mean being the same.Īlso, the statement that involves the symbol "=" may or may not be correct. For example, 1 + 1 does not look like 2 but the definitions of the symbols 1, 2, +, and the rules of arithmetic tell us that 1 + 1 = 2. The symbol of equality "=" is used to make a statement that two differently looking expressions are in fact equal. The sign "=" of equality which is pronounced "equal to" has other, more fruitful uses. One can't go wrong with expressions like N = N because they do not say much. For example, for any number or expression N, N = N. If A and B are two constant expressions, we write A = B if they are equal, and A ≠ B, if they are not.

This ritual of collective removal is reminiscent of the supernatural premise of Yoko Ogawa’s deeply affecting novel “ The Memory Police,” in which it is objects and not people that are erased, lending a kind of charm to aspects of our world (matchbooks, dolls, vases) that we take for granted, hardly noticing them at all. Rendering an apt metaphor for the invisibility and loss of identity felt by many new mothers, “Elsewhere” sees them forgotten completely. And this too is by design: The community has developed a ritual of wiping the missing women’s homes of all their personal effects. In both novels, Schaitkin’s pace is firmly controlled, her arcs built line by patient line.īut unlike in “Saint X,” after the women in “Elsewhere” vanish - or do they? - there is no kerfuffle, only silence. “Elsewhere” continues the theme of female disappearance that Schaitkin began in her admirable debut novel, “ Saint X.” Also set in a location both recognizable and all its own, “Saint X” follows the possible murder of a privileged teenager who goes missing on an island vacation and whose absence is used to illuminate the prejudices and ramifications that spiral out in her wake. Staring at older women, Vera and her best friend “saw how they swayed with their babies in their arms, side to side like metronomes holding time for a song only they could hear.” Meanwhile, they fear anyone who comes from “elsewhere,” playing a game called “stranger,” in which they imagine outsiders to be “wretched and cowed.” Vera’s trouble begins when a real stranger comes to town who threatens her and her community’s meticulously calibrated way of living. When the mother of Schaitkin’s 16-year-old narrator, Vera, disappears, she too is subjected to such conjecture: “One clue about my mother everyone kept recounting was that I often turned up at school with my buckle shoes switched,” she says, “which gave my appearance an ‘unnerving’ effect.”Īnd yet, raised to practice the town’s xenophobia and mother-worship, Vera and the other young women consider motherhood their highest possible achievement. No one can predict which mothers will be taken, though that doesn’t stop the villagers from guessing that it affects those who are either “incautious” (like the one who lets her children cross a stream when the water’s too high) or too tightly wound. In a remote mountain town scrubbed of identifying factors, new mothers risk succumbing to an “affliction” that causes some to vanish with no warning or trace. Like Rachel Yoder’s “ Nightbitch,” Helen Phillips’s “ The Need” and Claire Oshetsky’s “ Chouette,” “Elsewhere” literalizes the transformative experience of maternity. It is often revealing, then, to notice which of these archetypes the speculative writer reserves and which they jettison.Īlexis Schaitkin’s second novel, “Elsewhere,” joins the recent roster of impressive novels that have employed speculative elements to examine new motherhood. To upend, poke fun at or hyperbolize the silliest of rituals or darkest of human flaws. One of the many advantages of writing in the speculative realm is the opportunity to clear the decks of societal expectations. ![]() AuthorWrite something about yourself.
