The Rape of a Sabine Woman, Giambologna (after), Giambologna (rejected attribution), c. 1600 - c. 1625
This complex group of three intertwined figures is a reduced copy of the monumental marble sculpture Giambologna made in 1583 for the Loggia dei Lanzi in Florence, where it stands to this day. The composition is so ingenious that the statuette looks beautiful from all angles. This was quite an artistic challenge for sculptors in the late 16th century.

Switching From i915 To Xe Linux Drivers Can Yield Some Big Gains For Intel Arc A-Series
For those using Intel Arc A-Series graphics cards on Linux, the i915 kernel driver remains the default but switching over to the Xe driver can yield some incremental performance benefits. For OpenCL / GPU compute workloads especially, switching to the Xe kernel driver can be rather dramatic.
