But, just as story telling could portray the "truth" with an accurate accounting of the facts, it could just as easily become fiction. Fake and manipulated photographs - visual fiction - began circulating not long after the invention of photography. With the invention of motion pictures, and certainly television, the public came to know that not every picture they saw was necessarily factual in its depiction of reality.

The Complete Guide to Making Money in Your Spare Time 3 Top Tips To Maintain Performance & Extend The Life Of Your SSD For years, standard hard drives have been the speed limiting factor in overall system responsiveness. While hard drive size, RAM capacity, and CPU speed have grown almost exponentially, the spinning speed of a hard drive, i.e. the factor defining how fast it can be read, has increased only moderately in comparison. If you really want to give your computer a speed boost, try switching to a solid state drive, short SSD. Unlike traditional magnetic hard disk drives, SSDs do not employ any moving mechanical components. Instead, they rely on NAND-based flash memory, which is much faster than HDDs for several reasons. However, Windows is not optimized to get the most out of SSDs, which come with their own weaknesses. 1. While defragging can speed up a regular HDD, it doesn’t do any good for an SSD, on the contrary. In Windows, make sure you have disabled scheduled disk defragmentation. 2. To turn off the Windows indexing service, follow these steps: 3. TRIM is supported by Windows 7.
Tarih Çevirme Kılavuzu – Türk Tarih Kurumu Başkanlığı AÇIKLAMA Bu program, Miladi, Hicri ve Rumi takvimler arasında tarih çevirmek amacıyla geliştirilmiştir. Çevirme işleminin sağlıklı bir şekilde yapılabilmesi için öncelikle çevrilmesini istediğiniz takvim türünü seçmelisiniz. Bu aşamadan sonra üç farklı düzeyde tarih çevirisi yapılabilmektedir. İlk olarak gün girilmemiş ve ay seçilmemiş ise sadece girilen yıl, ikinci olarak gün girilmemiş, ancak ay seçilmiş ve yıl girilmişse seçilen ay, son olarak da gün, ay ve yıl girilmişse girilen tarihin tamamı diğer takvimlerdeki karşılıklarına dönüştürülebilmektir. Sonuçlar yukarıdaki tabloda yansıtılacaktır. Tarihsel açıdan Hicri ay başlangıçlarının hesaplanmasında bir hadis dolayısıyla rüyet-i hilal ölçütü uygulanmaktadır. Dini günlerin hesaplanmasında dayanılan esas ölçüt, yukarıdaki açıklamadan anlaşılacağı üzere, rüyet-i hilal ölçütüdür.
