I look forward to welcoming the 450 new employees of MediaMarkt and sharing with them this new adventure ". By joining forces in after-sales and other services, we can extend our actions in favour of responsible consumption and a circular economy. ![]() It is a remarkable opportunity for us to achieve a strong market position and offer our Portuguese customers a complete range of products and services at the heart of our Fnac Darty project. Th e acquisition of MediaMar kt will allow Fnac Darty to increase its presence by almost a third in Portugal, a dynamic market for the Group. With this acquisition project, which is already accretive before synergies, the Group will consolidate its position as number 2 in Portugal and will be able to seize the opportunity to accelerate its growth in its historical businesses, to diversify and expand in large and small domestic appliances categories, to strengthen its services and improve its global efficiency.Įnrique Martinez, C hief E xecutive O fficer of Fnac Darty, stated that: " Our presence in Portugal h as been a success story for 25 years and t oday’s announcement w ill open a new chapter of expansion. The brand benefits from wide geographic coverage and excellent consumer awareness. In financial year 2021-2022, MediaMarkt Portugal recorded sales of c. €140 million.Īfter 25 years of a successful development in Portugal, Fnac Darty currently has around 1 700 employees and operates a network of 35 Fnac stores in Portugal, as well as 6 PC Clinic centres, 1 Nature et Découvertes and the Fnac.pt website, for a turnover of approximately €370 million at the end of 2022. They offer an outstanding range of household appliances and technical products, with a wide range of references and a recognized service offering. MediaMarkt Portugal is a well-established and profitable electronics retailer, operating 10 stores and a webshop, with around 450 employees across the country. Signing of an agreement in view of acquiring MediaMarkt in Portugalįnac Darty announced it has entered into an agreement with the Ceconomy subsidiary MediaMarktSaturn in view of acquiring 100% of their Portuguese operations. Our apologies for this additional delay.F nac D arty strengthens its position in Portugal STAY away from MediaMarkt! Terrible service, terrible staff, terrible prices, 0 customer service and 0 customer satisfaction! Now their customer service has replied the following to me (always coming up with excuses and causing delays in getting our money back!): Dear customer, We will refer back to our colleagues to ask about the installation costs and we will keep you informed as soon as we know more. Then they promised us that they will refund our FULL amount (proof can be provided), so we agreed and now the refund is not even of the full amount! BEWARE, order from companies like bol, coolblue, amazon. Their transport partner Henrotte are a scam company! Their driver lied that he came to our home to deliver a product but never showed up! Now they tried to charge us extra money for delivery! We asked MediaMarkt for an escalation which got refused. They dont even deserve one star! I am being cheated by MediaMarkt! This is the worst company to buy anything from especially if you are having something delivered to your home. RMA-Number: 2560592 So Zoe said she would look into my case, this has been for show as they haven't contacted me at all. I will never use them again going forward, and currently I have a TV set up I can't even watch. No reply to my messages on what happens now, I feel like the company doesn't care as they have the money for the product the issue with the TV is my problem now. I never wanted it fixed, I want a new TV that I spent €500 on. ![]() I boxed it and took it to the store, they said they can't help and I'll have to take it home and wait for a repair company to come and look at it, The repair company has made their verdict with out coming to see the TV, and have only said it's too expensive to fix. 12/04/23 I brought a TV online and paid extra to have it delivered which is fine, the problem was when I turned it on there was a crack on the internal LED screen that isn't showing externally. Update:I've had zero response from any of the emails I've sent, am still sat with a new TV that's broken after 3 weeks. ![]()

![]() ![]() Will the PDK enable it to take the fight to Nissan's GT-R? We'll find out in '09. Impressive stuff, but I'm really hanging to see is what the PDK gearbox can do to the 911 Turbo's performance figures. When equipped with the PDK gearbox, the 0-98kph sprint is dispatched in a rapid 4.5 seconds for the Carrera while the Carrera S can do it in just 4.3 seconds - 0.2 seconds faster than the manual.Īcceleration is even more swift when coupled with the Sport Chrono pack, which includes a launch control system that drops the 0-98kph time for the Carrera S to 4.1 seconds. We covered a lot of this stuff back in April when much of this information was leaked, but what wasn't leaked were the exact metrics on what the PDK 'box can do for the humble 911. If this is all sounding a bit familiar, that's probably because it is. Porsche's newly-developed seven-speed PDK double clutch gearbox replaces the previous (and awkward to use) tiptronic auto, and also brings with it a distinct performance advantage over the six-speed manual. The engines and styling aren't the only things different for 2009 either. The Carrera gains 20hp, bringing the total output to 345hp, while the Carrera S's 3.8-litre unit boasts an extra 30hp, taking its total to 385hp. Of course, styling has been tweaked to include a cleaner, more minimalist exterior that features a revised front bumper, LED combination lights and LED taillights, but the new 997 also benefits from a host of mechanical changes under the skin too.īoth the 3.6 and 3.8-litre engines of the Carrera and Carrera S now have a direct injection fuel system, boosting power while simultaneously reducing carbon dioxide emissions by 13%. However, the 2009 Porsche 911 is going to get much more than just a facelift - it's going in for open heart surgery. ![]() Normally, mid-model facelifts are just that, an aesthetic nip n' tuck to keep the car looking fresh. ![]() ![]() ![]() It is, in short, an unashamedly political novel of the kind that has been out of fashion for several decades. There are references to texts by Marx, Sartre, De Beauvoir, Césaire, Fanon and others, as well as narrative threads that carry us through the major political, economic and societal aftershocks of late 19th-century colonial expansion: capitalism, the rise of communism, immigration, assimilation, hypercapitalism, religious extremism. The Committed is a dense book, full of lengthy debates between the characters, who have names such as “the Maoist PhD” and “the eschatological muscle”. ![]() ![]() Nguyen doesn’t stop until he has cut the whole of European empire down to the bone to expose the self-deceiving lie that, in some quarters, holds still – that of empire as a mostly benign “civilising mission”. In a story populated with characters from Vietnam, Algeria and French West Africa, the entire French colonial legacy comes under scrutiny. Where The Sympathizer challenged the popular narrative of the Vietnam war, the narrative being challenged here is that of empire, starting with the French occupation of what was then Indochina in the late 1800s and ending with the decisive defeat of the French by the Viet Minh at the battle of Dien Bien Phu in 1954. He is very much a man to whom things happen, whose own agency is almost always a reaction to his circumstances, who is just trying to stay alive. ![]() Our unnamed hero soon becomes accidentally sucked into a Vietnamese criminal consortium and enters the Parisian underworld. In The Committed, the action shifts from the US to France, where the man of two faces has gone to live following his apparently successful re-education. In doing so he masterfully reversed the gaze to show America through the eyes of a Vietnamese refugee: communist, double agent, man of two faces. In The Sympathizer Nguyen seized the narrative of the war in Vietnam from American hands, reminding the world of the millions of Vietnamese who lost their lives, livelihoods, country and futures as a result. He has talked often about the indelible early experience of being a refugee. On arrival he lived away from them for a period, with a white sponsor family. In 1975, aged four, Nguyen left Vietnam with his parents, bound ultimately for the United States. It is, as Nguyen himself has observed in the past, the first time history has ever been written by the loser. It is the story of the impact that fighting the war had on the bodies, minds and hearts of mainly white American males. There he is held in a re-education camp where he is interrogated and tortured by “the faceless man”, forced to write and rewrite his “confession” in an attempt to correct his ideological position: the result is the book itself.įor decades the master narrative of the Vietnam war has been created by American books and movies. His journey led him from a shack in Saigon to life among wealthy Vietnamese exiles in Los Angeles, finally to confront his own past years later back in Vietnam. In a distinctive voice, one that mixed erudition with the vernacular, quiet reflection with emotional outburst and came threaded with a biting wit, he recounted his life as a Viet Cong spy. In 2016 the unnamed protagonist of Viet Thanh Nguyen’s first novel The Sympathizerwon his creator a Pulitzer prize for fiction. “W e were the unwanted, the unneeded and the unseen, invisible to all but ourselves.” And with those words he is back, the “man of two faces and two minds” as well as many guises: Vietnamese, French, American, soldier, academic, Japanese tourist, waiter, hoodlum, killer, communist, capitalist, spy. ![]() ![]() ![]() Įlden Ring Is on Sale for Cyber Monday 2022 - IGN. ![]() ![]() Elden Ring Collector's Edition - SOLD OUT PS5.

If I needed greater precision, I would make multiplying by 2 not ten, but maybe twenty times (result: 220200,96 rounded to 220201 as an integer) and would get 20-bits binary representation. In the example above, I assumed that rounding 215,04 to 215 is comparatively small "error" (below 1/5000), so 10 bits was enough to represent the original number. Remark: As I mentioned earlier, not all decimal fraction values can be represented exactly in binary form, so sometimes you must decide, what precision (approximation) satisfy your needs. Moving the binary point 10 places left, gives.Entering 215 in programmer's mode shows its binary representation: 11010111.Assuming that it is close enough to an integer value (it is arbitrary decision!), you get the rounded integer of 215 Multiply it by 2 ten times - you get 215,04.Then, move it left by as many positions as you have done multiplying in step 2 and 3. Imagine, the binary point is on the most right (after last binary digit). The binary representation of the integer number is shown. Switch to programmer's mode and enter value received after step 3, rounded to integer (unfortunately, that is not done automatically when switching mode, at least in Windows 10's Calculator app). IMPORTANT! Remember, how many times you multiplied initial value by 2 (in step 2 and repeated 3). Repeat step 2 (pressing = key alone, again and again), until you receive number which is integer - or very close to integer (see remark below). In standard mode enter a decimal number (can be fractional) to convert, e.g. A workaround to achieve your goal is like this: Unfortunatelly, windows calculator in programmer's mode operate on integer values only. But remember: not all decimal fractions can be represented in binary form exactly - some rounding must be applied then, especially if only limited count of bits can be used (which is always true in real computer science world). In fact, that is how real/double numbers are represented in computers (although usually binary point position is stored, instead of the "point character"). If you really felt like it, you could use a memory viewing tool and spy on values as you type them in the calculator, but again, that is a different topic.Ĭheck out to have an idea of how the floating point numbers are stored and Generally, fraction value CAN be represented in binary, using kind of "binary point" (counterpart of decimal point). Now, to answer your question, while Windows calculator stores the numbers in this form, it hasn't been designed to show you the intermediate/raw values in the memory. Your number 0.21 is stored in memory as 1.6799999475479126 * 2^(-3) which is equivalent to 0.20999999344348907470703125 (windows calculator shows this as 0.209999993443489075 when calculating manually)Īny calculator that utilises this standard will store numbers in the same format (if it doesn't, excluding different endianness, it probably has a different way of storing floating point numbers, so when passing values from one piece of software/hardware to another, translation must happen, but this is a different topic altogether). Think of this as a scientific notation, which is a * 10^b, where a must be [1, 10) (meaning from 1.0 up to, but not including 10, e.g. So the way fractions are represented in memory is according to the IEEE-754 standard for floating point numbers.Ī number as simple as decimal 123 when stored as floating point number (e.g. ![]() ![]() ![]() Apparently, when the alarm went off, the police was at the store much earlier than to be expected, thus, they must have been informed about the heist. Mr Orange, severely wounded by a shot in the belly, and Mr White escape to the said warehouse, where they meet with Mr Pink who escaped as well, with the diamonds transported to a secure location. Instead, the narrative jumps back and forth in time, introducing the character’s background and version of the happenings at the jewellery store, since the diamond heist ends in a massacre with shot civilians, policemen and two of the criminals (Mr Blue and Mr Brown) dead. the robbery itself is not shown in the whole film. The story is not narrated stringently, e.g. They chit-chat about Madonna’s hit ‘Like a Virgin’, before their planned armed robbery of a jewellery store. It starts with a group of six well suited men (all using aliases) and their two bosses (Joe and his son Eddie), having breakfast at an American Diner. The story of Reservoir Dogs is mainly set in a warehouse in an American city. The quintessence of Tarantino’s idea of film making is already identifiable in his rough debut: cool characters and violence combined with deadpan humour plus a fantastic soundtrack. ![]() Tarantino’s debut became cult over the years, considered to have notably inspired further independent cinema. In the case of ‘Stuck in the middle with you’ and the ‘infamous’ torture scene in Tarantino’s debut film Reservoir Dogs (1992), this statement does fully apply, as the song originally is about an annoying record biz dinner that Eagan and Rafferty had to attend. Moreover, we must agree with Quentin Tarantino, who said ‘that certain pop songs have been used so successfully in certain movies that in a sense the movie blots out all other associations and ‘owns’ the song. Without knowing the linkage of the song to one of the most iconic scenes in later film history, these comments make no sense at all. Another user asks if anyone could listen to the song, ‘without thinking of torture anymore’ (YouTube, 2016). ![]() For instance, user ‘nosferotica’ writes: ‘Last time I listened to this song I cut someone’s ear off.’ (YouTube, 2016). Comparing the top comments to the video shown, some incoherence becomes visible. The original music video shows the band with Joe Eagan alternately performing in a big, empty building and him being at a banquet table, surrounded by odd guises, unsuccessfully trying to get some food from the table. The number of clicks is considerably impressive: the most popular video on the website counts more than 44 million views since July 2010. Looking for the song ‘Stuck in the middle with you’ (written by Gerry Rafferty and Joe Eagan performed by their group ‘Stealers Wheel’) on YouTube (2016), displays the immense popularity of this song more than 40 years after it was published on the 1972 Stealers Wheel debut album.

Oddly, Master Kohga is not revived after he is slain, though this may be a form of punishment for his laziness and failure to prevent Link from reclaiming the Thunder Helm, and/or Ganon's way of using the Yiga Clan's desire to avenge him to his advantage to motivate them into being more aggressive and dedicated to their mission in defeating Link. The Blood Moon will also resurrect any slain Yiga Footsoldiers and Yiga Blademasters (save for the one encountered during " The Stolen Heirloom") which is presumably a result of them swearing allegiance to Ganon. In addition to monsters, any slain Stalhorse will also be resurrected along with their riders. Also, if Link takes refuge at a campfire situated in an enemy camp, the resurrection of the enemies may catch him off guard. This can frighten players with their guard down, as the sudden roar and shock of red on the screen is very startling. If Link attempts to escape the Blood Moon by passing time by a campfire or cooking pot or by sleeping in a bed, the cutscene will just play before Link finishes or wakes up, respectively. This is a point in time in which Calamity Ganon's power will rise to its peak, hence the resurrection of foes that Link has already felled prior to this event. She will also warn him, in shorter form, each subsequent Blood Moon. She explains that its glow causes the aimless spirits of monsters that were slain in the name of the light to return to flesh. During Link's first Blood Moon, Princess Zelda will telepathically warn Link of it and explains that Calamity Ganon's power increases during this time and tells him to be careful. The Blood Moon can occur once Link has completed the main quest " The Isolated Plateau" and left the Great Plateau using the Paraglider.

I would recommend you go a couple blocks up to the pit place for a much better deal, food that doesn't taste frozen or stiff and a manager that does not stink and look like he doesn't care about his business. Only thing good about this place was the server we had and the kid at the register who was polite and apologetic about the management. My sister ordered lasagna but it tasted frozen and microwaved. Toppings were sparse and so was the cheese. Store was filthy, food was overpriced and awful. The manager was in sweat pants greeting people and smelled of body odor and urine. Just moved to Salem, saw the add in the paper and tried this place for the first time. I don't want anything free, but I did feel better that the manager actually did take the time to call. The manager actually did call and apologize and try to give me a courtesy pizza. Here's an update to my other unpleasant review. Guess what I'm going to tell them about Humble Pie? I am in retail and deal with several thousand customers per week. This establishment has some serious management issues. I tried calling Humble Pie again today but the manager is still not in. I tried telling him again what was wrong and all he could say was stop berating me, I've had other complaints tonight.

I get up and ask her at the window that she was boxing other food up, not mine, if I can speak to the manager. 15 more minutes and no box or manager yet or even a refill on our waters. Over an hour later she brings plates at which point we tell her it will now have to be an order to go as we were late getting across town. She came back mumbling that the order would be on her. 50 minutes into our wait, I again asked how much longer at which point she said there was a large pizza order. We asked if the flat bread appetizer was coming and the young waitress mumbled something about it having to be cooked at the same time our pizza was then walked away. A couple across from us that we saw go in right before us received their pizza.
