![]() There’s a Tartarus addon for WoW, but it’s not very useful or attractive at this point. It doesn’t play that nicely with other WoW addons, and it took me ten minutes to figure out I had to turn off another user interface element to even find the configuration button. Besides it being an awkward play-style to adjust to (where did I put my taunt again? Oh right, it’s thumbstick down + key 9), the WoW Tartarus addon simply isn’t very good. This alternate keybind configuration didn’t really help matters though. ![]() Doing so taught me a few things about how Razer envisions players using the Tartarus most importantly, Razer actually wants you to use the middle six buttons for movement, just like a regular keyboard configuration, and then use the thumbpad to swap between four key configurations on the fly, letting you multiply the 9 remaining buttons to 36 potential commands. This lets you customize your keybinds in-game rather than swapping back and forth from Synapse to WoW which, in theory, should speed things up. Since the Tartarus is a little bit outside of my gaming hardware comfort zone I tried to make the learning process easier by using Razer’s Tartarus WoW addon. If that sounds a little intimidating, it is the customization options can get confusing, and it takes time to learn to use them properly. The app is flashier than it needs to be but highly customizable- letting you bind any key to a macro and letting those macros and keybinds talk to other Razer products so that you could, for example, press a key on your Razer mouse and swap key configurations on your Tartarus. If you’ve ever used a Razer product in the past you’re probably already familiar with Synapse’s pros and cons. Razer might argue that the ability to program the Tartarus makes up for its lack of keys, and in a sense they would be right: configuration options abound as the Tartarus, like most Razer products, is customizable with Razer’s Synapse software. These tests helped me understand that, in addition to having to relearn how to use my keybinds, using the Tartarus requires me to accept a net loss in the number of keys I have access to. I went back and forth between playing games with and without the Tartarus, realizing that I could actually reach more keys by focusing on just a traditional keyboard and mouse control scheme. The problem with that plan, besides how awkward it is to adjust to steering my MMORPG characters with my thumb, is that it leaves only 15 keys within easy reach of my hands. When I first set up the Tartarus I thought the thumbpad and extra keys would be useful as a means of controlling my character’s movement in games like Guild Wars 2 and World of Warcraft, essentially freeing up my Q, W, E, A, S, D keys and the space bar to be bound to something else.

![]() ![]() One result of those efforts is a pan-European programme launched last summer called the Euronext Tech Leaders initiative, in collaboration with Bpifrance and several other financial institutions across Europe. So to boost its home IPO market, part of France’s strategy is to enlist a coalition of European partners. While Euronext officially has seven regions where companies can list - Paris, Amsterdam, Brussels, Dublin, Lisbon, Oslo and Milan - it is effectively a single stock exchange under the hood. In response, last year the French government launched a flurry of programmes in partnership with the Euronext stock exchange designed to address these weaknesses. In addition, too many of the tech stocks are companies that held an IPO extremely early, leaving them with low and volatile valuations that hurt the sector’s credibility with investors. These shortcomings include the lack of large investment funds that target tech stocks in Paris and the limited level of research coverage they offer, a constraint caused by the limited number of tech stocks that trade on the exchange. In March 2022, Bpifrance published a report identifying the weaknesses in France’s public market ecosystem. Such support would hopefully lead to successful stock debuts followed later by secondary stock offerings that provide the muscle for these companies to expand globally and acquire competitors. But there’s a growing recognition that this system drops off mid-way through a company’s potential journey.įrance now wants to build a complimentary system that guides the very best startups through the IPO and post-IPO process to continue attracting investment. We must make this happen in France.” European partnershipsįor the past decade, the French government has carefully nurtured a tech ecosystem through investing in VCs, bulking out its public bank Bpifrance and policy reforms designed to accompany startups from their earliest incarnation through to late-stage growth funding. “Even with this magnificent history of French tech over the past decade, these exits still happen in New York. “We must succeed in making these listings in Paris,” said Bpifrance CEO Nicolas Dufourcq while presenting the bank’s annual results earlier this year. If startups go public elsewhere or get acquired by international players, there’s a feeling that France is failing to fully capture the value created by them. More companies going public in Paris means more of their jobs remain here, more of their employees benefit from stock options, more venture funds get bigger windfalls to reinvest in more startups, and so on. When companies list in France, they create a virtuous circle that the government wants to enlarge. ![]() ![]() “We want them to be able to continue to grow in France and to continue to recruit in France.” "For the past five years, France has seen the emergence of very high-growth companies with European, if not global, reach,” said French digital minister Jean-Noël Barrot last November. The French government is hoping they don’t follow tech giant Criteo, which listed on the Nasdaq in New York in 2013. But where they chose to list is very much anyone’s guess. In the next few years, some of French tech’s poster children - companies like Alan, Qonto, Mirakl and Doctolib - are expected to IPO. That's not the kind of impact Macron is after. At close on Friday, the shares stood at €2.98. The company only raised €8m in the offering - effectively a solid Series A round for a typical startup. The stock debuted on February 13 for €3.87 per share and closed down on its first day of trading at €3.45 per share. ![]() The only French tech company to go public in 2023 so far is online driving school Lepermislibre. “France has been in the front seat there, but what's been done in France so far in mobilising public money and the public initiative around growing the tech sector is now being deployed at the European level,” Narminio said. Because all the Euronext countries trade on a single exchange, France’s efforts are having a ripple effect as other European governments and financial institutions climb on the IPO bandwagon. If France does manage to turn around its woeful tech IPO history, the benefits could be felt across Europe.Īurélien Narminio, head of equity listing at the Euronext stock exchange, credited France with taking the lead on driving efforts to reform the listing process and attract greater financial support for IPOs. ![]() ![]() ![]() Most were basic trim packages, the most popular being the "Berlinetta", which was similar to the Luxus but included rubber trim on the bumpers (standard on all 1973 US Opel Mantas), vinyl roof, and other miscellaneous features. The European market had a number of different versions. The Manta was known to be one of the best-handling cars in its class and went on to win a large number of rallies in Europe and the United States. The Manta came with either a four-speed manual or a three-speed TH-180 automatic. In the United States, only the largest, 1.9-litre, engine was offered. ![]() The Manta was normally equipped with a 1.6 or a 1.9-litre CIH engine, although in continental Europe, a small, 1.2-litre, motor was also offered. (In the UK the Ford Capri niche was contested, with only limited success, by Vauxhall's Firenza, based on the ageing Vauxhall Viva until 1975.) The Vauxhall and Opel models were subsequently sold side by side. In the UK market, the first Manta was sold only as an Opel: there was no Vauxhall-branded Manta (or Ascona) until after the launch, in 1975, of the Manta B1 and Ascona B as the Mark 1 Cavalier coupe and sports hatch (Manta) and saloon (Ascona). It took its name, and a few minor styling cues, from the Manta Ray concept car (1961), which also famously influenced the 1968 Chevrolet Corvette C3 (both Chevrolet and Opel had General Motors as their parent company). A competitor to the Ford Capri, it was a two-door "three-box" coupé, and featured distinctive round tail lights, quite similar to those on the Opel GT and which in fact were used on the GT in 1973, its final model year. The Manta A was released in September 1970, two months ahead of the then new Opel Ascona on which it was based. ![]() ![]() ![]() Shared folder permissions aren’t imported if the person or group that has access to the folder doesn’t exist in your 1Password account or if the person is an external LastPass user.

Reliable brain tumor-on-a-chip platforms should incorporate real-scale 3D fluidic microcapillaries for BBB modeling and biomimetic multicellular cancer models including malignant and nonmalignant cells to investigate both anticancer efficacy and potential side effects following BBB crossing. 7 The obtainment of realistic in vitro brain tumor-on-a-chip platforms is crucial to accurately select potentially valid candidate compounds in early investigation stages and, consecutively, to attenuate costs and ethical issues of unsuccessful advanced preclinical studies. 6 The vast majority of drug development fails during in vivo preclinical and clinical testing. The development of personalized anticancer compounds and nanocarriers is accompanied by the increased need for highly predictive brain cancer models to test their function. 5 To be effective and safe, CNS anticancer drugs must efficiently cross the blood–brain barrier (BBB) and selectively target the cancer cells, avoiding significant side effects on healthy cells (e.g., neurons, endothelial cells, and astrocytes). In this scenario, intensive research activity is focused on the realization and testing of innovative drugs and nanomedicines able to successfully counteract the proliferation of GBM cells. 3,4 The cell clusters infiltrated in the peritumoral niche that cannot be removed during surgery (i.e., microscopic foci) quickly develop into a new tumor due to their elevated aggressiveness and resistance to conventional anticancer treatments.

Or is it just the perception of the one who possesses it, some strange paranoid psychosis which makes him both attached to and suspicious of the Ring? This theme will come up again in the book, and is fascinating precisely because of its ambiguity. The way he describes it, it seems as though the Ring is not an inanimate object after all, but it is sentient, surveilling everything that is going on. It’s creepy – the Ring is like an eye? An eye that watches Bilbo. But when I read that line this time, it made me stop. When the rest of the epic fills your reminiscences, it is easy to overlook early details like this. Sometimes I have felt it was like an eye looking at me.” Had it not been for Gandalf’s intervention, Bilbo Baggins might have been wandering in the wilderness with the Ring, with no protection, and – unbeknownst to him – in mortal danger.Īs for that Ring, Bilbo’s own words corroborate Gandalf’s suspicions about it: If we didn’t know him better, we would wonder why it matters so much that Bilbo wants to keep his ring – why should he not? But we innately trust Gandalf’s reasons, and thank goodness he prevails in the end. It is a surprise, therefore, to see Gandalf raising his voice against the old hobbit, it’s a sudden jolt after the light-hearted Shire-talk and the Party. His cantankerousness was never a real threat. ![]() Moreover, we always saw Gandalf sticking up for Bilbo, and we got used to seeing the paternalistic side to him in the prequel. Tolkien did such a good job in setting Gandalf up as a figure of wisdom and confidence in The Hobbit, that when he is troubled by something, the reader knows the matter is serious. The two traits, or rather curses, bestowed by the Ring on its owner – unnaturally long life and covetousness – are exposed to the reader via Gandalf. It is Gandalf’s reaction in particular that raises the alarm for the reader – he watches Bilbo, “curiously and closely”, and when Bilbo calls the Ring his “precious”, it is Gandalf who reminds him and us that “it has been called that before”. When Bilbo uses it again to disappear from his Birthday Party, we don’t think much of it it is only when Bilbo has his unsettling quarrel with Gandalf at Bag End that we sense something is not quite right. ![]() One final thing we took note of from The Hobbit was that it was once obsessively possessed by Gollum. This power was used by Bilbo to help him and his company get out of several tricky situations, and thus we have no reason to fear the Ring, rather we are inclined to see it as something useful. Despite its plain appearance, it also has the extraordinary capacity to make the wearer invisible. All we know about it before now is that it is a plain gold band, picked up by Bilbo in the dark depths of the misty mountains. It is in this chapter that we get our first glimpse of the power and evil influence of the Ring.
