![]() ![]() Although this is nominally a point-and-click, it's not actually a very good one. Lumino City's a fabulous location to potter around, but beyond the clever use of bric-a-brac and artful depth-of-field implementation lies a game that struggles to cohere. If you want a frightening insight into how expensive bespoke design can be, it's taken State of Play three years to make a game that lasts just over three hours.Īnd yet, if it's not quite half-built, it all feels a little incomplete. It all adds up to an astonishing place to explore: a modern Trumpton or Camberwick Green. Like every good indie video game, Lumino City has a lighthouse, but this lighthouse has a lens of thick, deeply scored glass. Elsewhere, there's a perfect Airstream diner, the size, most likely, of a milk bottle, resting near a clutter of copper piping. There's a wonderful eye for dreamlike detail: way up high on the arching back of a giant flywheel you'll find a ship that has come to rest, far from the ocean, while its captain slumbers in a sagging hammock. The metropolis you pick a path through has real variety, from sheer pasteboard cliffs where little cage-fronted shanties move in and out with the shifting of unseen cogwork, to a security hut that's built from an old camera. Lumino City is sprawling and intricate, and every finial and fusebox speaks of a deep sense of craft. Doors were drawn on walls in felt pen, and camera movements had a sweet and homely shakiness to them. Lume was a clever piece of work, but it had the look of an afternoon's fun that got seriously out of hand. It's a massive expansion in terms of scope and scale. ![]() The narrative follows a girl named Lumi who's looking for her missing grandfather, but the real story is one of constant discovery and delight: each screen in this point-and-click puzzle adventure taking you somewhere ingenious and new. Like Lume before it, State of Play's latest takes place against a backdrop of physical models, pieced together from cardboard and wiring and doll's furniture and scraps of felt. Lumino City has an architect - and it's the architecture that makes the most lasting impression here. Games get built, even if the building blocks themselves are little more than light, and the scaffolds are scaffolds of code. Somebody had to blueprint the Citadel, the Cradle, the Skycrown battlements where I've bludgeoned so many demons and helped raise so many catapults. PLEASE NOTE: Lume is in English only.Architect: not a credit you expect to see in a game's post-victory crawl. Lumino City continues this story, and if you've enjoyed this introduction please check it out. This game forms Part 1 of a larger story. Immerse yourself in Lume’s photoreal world, solve perplexing paper puzzles to help restore the power, and uncover a deeper mystery behind the blackout. Power to your grandad’s house has failed. With a set built entirely out of paper and cardboard, and sumptuously filmed, Lume is a game with a style unlike any other. Small and perfectly formed, Lume is the prequel to Lumino City, also available in the App Store. Even Lume’s main menu is more beautiful than most big-budget shooters." "Undoubtedly one of the most unique-looking games around." *** IGF 2012 Finalist: Excellence in Visual Art *** To celebrate the launch of the sequel Lumino City, the game is now 60% off. ***SALE! 60% off!

![]() ![]() When I tag this section “the early days,” you’re probably thinking of the first five years of Victoria’s Secret. So, now that you know the drive behind Victoria’s Secret let’s get down to business. So he studied the lingerie market for eight years after the lingerie incident. Raymond has excellent business and solution-providing instincts. Not just that, he expressed his embarrassment as people in the store saw him as an unwelcome intruder. Raymond said in an interview that all he saw were racks of ugly floral-print nylon nightgowns and terry-cloth robes. He only visited the underwear store to purchase lingerie for his lovely wife, Gabe Raymond. It happened that he had visited a particular lingerie store years earlier. Just like every other successful business person, Ray Raymond had quite an interesting story to back up his decision to open a lingerie store in the heart of California. Their first store was in a rental shopping mall called Stanford Shopping Center. Roy Raymond and his wife, Gaye Raymond, started Victoria’s Secret in America on June 12, 1977, in Palo Alto, California. The growth and sustainability Victoria’s Secret History – The foundation.This article explores and exposes you to the history of Victoria’s Secret. Nevertheless, Victoria’s Secret history of 44yrs of fame, glamor, and class is definitely compelling. The struggles are due to the shift in consumers’ preferences and controversial leadership. However, recent research revealed that the company has struggled to stay afloat since 2016. By 2018, they had established over 1000 outlets scattered home and abroad. They became the largest retailer of underwear in the United States of America. Years after its inception, Victoria’s Secret became a household name in America. Roy Raymond started this company and raised it from obscurity to popularity. We can trace Victoria’s secret history back to June 4, 1977. It is an American brand that started in the 20th century and became a global sensation years after its inception. Its popularity came at the dawn of modernity. Victoria’s Secret is a significant lingerie brand that has maintained its legacy over the years. ![]() ![]() ![]() One can tell if the film is under penetrated if the thoracic spine can not be seen through the heart. If film is under penetrated then there will be an excess of white present. Penetration: Is the film under-penetrated? Penetration refers to how well the X-rays have penetrated the body of the patient. Here are the 5 major considerations to make to evaluate if a chest X-ray is technically adequate. THIS SHOUDL BE DONE BEFORE FURTHER ANALYSIS!!! If an image is poor quality we can not use it for accurate diagnosis. Now that we are more familiar with X-ray machines, and common chest X-ray orientations, it is time for us to assess the quality of the X-ray image we are viewing. Alternating between these positions can help utilize gravity to help confirm suspicions of fluid in the pleural space ( source). When the patient is put in the LLDP, layering of the fluid is observed (right pane) which further supports the diagnosis of a likely pleural effusion. In these images a small pleural effusions is suspected on the upright X-ray (left pane). to assess for layering of a pleural effusion). This can be done for logistical reasons (patient is unable to stand for an upright lateral X-ray) or can be done to evaluate for the effect of gravity on pathological findings (i.e. Left lateral decubitus position (LLDP): sometimes patients are radiographed when laying on their left side. In the above image a left lower lobar pneumonia can be seen on both PA and right lateral views ( source) ![]() The position of the spine on the lateral view can help inform is direction (if the image is taken from the right, the spine will be on the right side of the film and vice versa). identifying the exact lobe of a lobar pneumonia in the right lung). This can be helpful in settings where the single view is limited in localizing pathology (i.e. Lateral views (right/left): often, a lateral view usually accompanies a PA/AP chest X-ray. This is because the distance is increased between the film and the heart,allowing for the X-rays to spread for a greater distance before developing the film ( source) Note the larger appearing heart on the AP view. It is important to realize that the LEFT side of the image (for both AP and PA films) represents the RIGHT side of the patient. In most circumstances PA orientations are preferred. The anatomy of the heart can appear artificially larger due to this image orientation. this orientation is commonly taken with portable X-rays with patients who are bed-ridden and laying on their back. SourceĪnterior-to-posterior (AP): The opposite of a PA. This is the preferred imaging orientation, however bed-ridden patients may not be able to allow for this type of X-ray to be taken. ![]() Posterior-to-anterior (PA): Exactly as it sounds, a PA view entails X-rays penetrating through the posterior/dorsal surface of a patient and being recorded on the opposite side. ORIENTATIONS USED FOR CHEST X-RAYSīefore delving too deep into the interpretation of chest X-rays, we must first learn about the different orientations in which the image can be taken. The orientations used for a chest X-ray include: As a refresher read this guide on the fundamentals of X-ray studies to help learn some of the basics. The following guide helps walk you through a comprehensive approach to understand and interpreting chest X-rays.

Mary thanks Arthur for his help and then boards the train with Jamie to return home. If Arthur accepts, he successfully chases down Jamie and persuades him to leave the Chelonians, before taking him to Mary at Valentine train station.

Ī few of Amsterdam's notable residents throughout its history include painters Rembrandt and Vincent van Gogh, seventeenth-century philosophers Baruch Spinoza, John Locke, René Descartes, and the Holocaust victim and diarist Anne Frank.įor a chronological guide, see Timeline of Amsterdam. Immigration and ethnic segregation in Amsterdam is a current issue. The Dutch capital is considered one of the most multicultural cities in the world, with at least 177 nationalities represented. The KLM hub and Amsterdam's main airport, Schiphol, is the busiest airport in the Netherlands, the third busiest in Europe, and the 11th busiest airport in the world. The Port of Amsterdam is the fifth largest in Europe. The city was ranked 4th place globally as top tech hub in the Savills Tech Cities 2019 report (2nd in Europe), and 3rd in innovation by Australian innovation agency 2thinknow in their Innovation Cities Index 2009. ![]() In 2022, Amsterdam was ranked the ninth-best city in the world to live in by the Economist Intelligence Unit and 12th globally on quality of living for environment and infrastructure by Mercer. Many of the world's largest companies are based in Amsterdam or have established their European headquarters in the city, such as leading technology companies Uber, Netflix and Tesla. ![]() ![]() Many large Dutch institutions have their headquarters in the city, including: the Philips conglomerate, AkzoNobel,, TomTom, and ING. The city is also the cultural capital of the Netherlands. As the commercial capital of the Netherlands and one of the top financial centres in Europe, Amsterdam is considered an alpha world city by the Globalization and World Cities Research Network. The Amsterdam Stock Exchange, founded in 1602, is considered the oldest "modern" securities market stock exchange in the world. Primarily known for its artistic heritage, elaborate canal system and narrow canal houses with gabled façades well-preserved legacies of the city's 17th-century Golden Age, and the establishment of the Van Gogh Museum, displaying the work of the famous Dutch modern artist, have attracted millions of visitors to Amsterdam annually. The city is also well known for its nightlife and festival activity with several of its nightclubs ( Melkweg code: nld promoted to code: nl, Paradiso) among the world's most famous.

Cycling is key to the city's modern character, and there are numerous biking paths and lanes spread throughout the entire city. The city has a long tradition of openness, liberalism, and tolerance. Sloten, annexed in 1921 by the municipality of Amsterdam, is the oldest part of the city, dating to the 9th century. The canals of Amsterdam and the 19-20th century Defence Line of Amsterdam are both on the UNESCO World Heritage List. In the 19th and 20th centuries, the city expanded and many new neighborhoods and suburbs were planned and built. Amsterdam is the leading center for finance and trade, as well as a hub of production of secular art. Originally a small fishing village in the late 12th century, Amsterdam became a major world port during the Dutch Golden Age of the 17th century, when the Netherlands was an economic powerhouse.

We try to be the soundtrack to all of these life experiences that they’re going through.Sister Hazel have maintained a loyal fanbase ever since they peaked on the charts in the 90s thanks to a DIY approach to touring, marketing, and engaging with their audience. And there’s a really big online community that keeps in touch and makes plans to see shows. We’re very involved with our Lyrics for Life charity, which our fans have really gravitated to. Throughout the years, we’ve done different events like the Hazelnut Hang, where we get together with our fans at the beach and hang out for a long weekend. We wanted the songs to become part of people’s lives. “We’ve always wanted to do more than put out songs and go out on the road. “When we decided to start doing this on our own, we also decided to be as accessible as possible to our fans,” he says. Regardless of which chart it’s on, a top-10 release is still good news, and Newell says that Sister Hazel, which will perform at the Peace Center’s outdoor TD Stage on Friday, can still command those sales because it’s worked hard over the years to maintain a connection with fans. If you listen to country music nowadays, it’s what was on rock radio years ago.” We’re still being true to ourselves, but the format we were lumped into for years has disappeared, and most of our listeners have kind of moved over to the country genre. The main difference is that we started writing with writers in Nashville, and we record our albums there, and you can’t help but be influenced. “Everything we’ve done still has the Sister Hazel sound. “I don’t think we made a conscious shift,” Newell says. Of course, if there is a little more twang in the band’s sound lately, its base of operations is in Nashville, Tennessee, now, so that might have helped. Newell says that the band has always defied easy genre classification and that the country-radio format has simply moved closer to Sister Hazel’s rootsy-rock sound. “Water” actually hit the top 10 on the Billboard Country Album charts, which might come as a surprise to Sister Hazel fans who have never considered the band country at all. This seemed like the best way to do it,” he says. ![]() “Instead of doing a big record every three years, we just decided to put out the songs we were writing as often as possible. Newell adds that the ambitious EP plan is an outgrowth of the band’s desire to get more music out more often. “The first one was called ‘Water.’ The next one is ‘Wind.’ It’s something we’ve never done before, which is rare when you’ve been in a band for 25 years.” “We’re planning on putting out four EPs back-to-back as a larger project called ‘Elements’,” says Ryan Newell, Sister Hazel’s lead guitarist. “Water” is the first step in an ambitious, conceptual plan. It’s a rare band that can say it’s just scored a top-10 hit more than two decades into its career, but that’s what Sister Hazel did when “Water” was released in February.Īnd the band has continued to challenge itself creatively rather than regurgitating the same old hits every night. The band has even managed to flourish as an independent act without a major label, releasing albums on its own Croakin’ Poets label and making waves on the country charts with its newest EP, “Water,” without significantly changing its sound to fit a format. Long after the appealingly rootsy acoustic-electric rock of its biggest hit single, 1997’s “All for You,” drove its album “… Somewhat More Familiar” to platinum status, Sister Hazel has kept on keepin’ on, touring successfully around the world and holding onto a large fanbase long after its late-’90s contemporaries have faded. But that’s what the Gainesville, Florida, quintet Sister Hazel has managed to do. Doing any job for 25 years is pretty impressive maintaining a successful band in a fickle music industry for that long is near-miraculous. ![]() ![]() Knowing now that the full game won’t release until later in2023, it might be worth wondering if we’ll see any game progress at all? Before Grymforge was added to Baldur’s Gate 3, players assumed that there’d be no new content apart from gameplay or cosmetic changes (classes, spells or items). That date will come when we’re even closer to meeting our goal, but right now our expectation is that Baldur’s Gate 3 will release out of Early Access in 2023." Baldur’s Gate 3 Act 2 Details A ton of progress has been made towards that quality bar over the past year in Early Access, but we know many players are waiting for an actual date. "Our internal goal post for release is a quality bar rather than a date. Since then, Larian were quiet on the topic for the larger part of its Early Access development, with news about a Baldur’s Gate 3 release date only surfacing early 2022 after the latest patch: Which initially led people to wonder whether the Baldur’s Gate 3 full release date would be a year apart from its Early Access release, however this was quickly dismissed when October 2021 came and went without any news. ![]() Larian’s previous game, Divinity: Original Sin 2, was in Early Access for exactly a year, having been released on the 15 September 2016 and later released on 14 September 2017. There’s still work to be done, adding all of these new features as well as developing background lore will take time. ![]() For example, within the game’s code are tags and hints towards various exotic races (aasimar, dragonborn and genasi). Some classes are still completely missing from Early Access, and it’s more than likely some races won’t be seen until the Baldur’s Gate 3 full release. ![]() At the PlayStation State of Play in February, the official launch date was announced to be 12 August 2023.

And there’s a collection of Ledger short stories coming up in April-JOE LEDGER: SPECIAL OPS. I’m writing the seventh, PREDATOR ONE, and we just sold an eighth, KILL SWITCH. CODE ZERO is the sixth Ledger novel to be published. And I love painting him into a corner just to see how he gets out. Even though I plot my books out, Joe tends to go off on tangents. ![]() But he also has a lot of other qualities, some of which surprise me because they show up during the writing. He has some of my personal background (though I don’t share his psychosis), and he has my morals and smartass sense of humor. The guy’s got some serious fighting skills, a strict moral code, and a biting sense of humor. It’s easy to see why your fans clamor for more Joe Ledger books. Jonathan took some time to talk about his latest book, CODE ZERO, and his prolific writing career. He teaches Experimental Writing for Teens, is the founder of the Writers Coffeehouse, and co-founder of The Liars Club. Two of his novels are in development for film, and another for TV. Besides the Joe Ledger thrillers, he also writes the Rot & Ruin series, the Nightsiders series, the Dead of Night series, and the Watch Over Me series as well as the monthly comics V-WARS and ROT & RUIN. He’s a New York Times bestselling author of eighteen novels and a four-time Bram Stoker Award winner. Switching gears has worked very well for Jonathan Maberry, who has written everything from plays to comic books to greeting cards. Can Joe Ledger stop a brilliant and devious master criminal from turning the Land of the Free into a land of the dead? Within days there are outbreaks of mass slaughter and murderous insanity across the American heartland. Joe Ledger and Echo Team are scrambled when a highly elite team of killers breaks the unbreakable security and steals the world’s most dangerous weapons. These terrible weapons have been locked away in the world’s most secure facility. In CODE ZERO, the Department of Military Sciences has been fighting for years to stop terrorists from using radical bioweapons-designer plagues, weaponized pathogens, genetically modified viruses, and even the zombie plague that first brought Ledger into the DMS. Maberry is a master at weaving complex, yet tightly woven stories that are full of larger-than-life characters, fascinating science, and the vilest villains. Just try to take a breath while reading CODE ZERO, Jonathan Maberry’s latest novel in the Joe Ledger series, a high-octane suspense thriller that pulls you in from start to finish and never lets up on the action. ![]() ![]() ![]() All new Monkey Lab – researches unique abilities and tower upgrades Exclusive new Special Agent – Radadactyl Cool new towers – Heli Pilot, Bloonchipper, Engineer “Nations need to brace themselves for a complete loss of productivity” The Bloons are back in full HD glory and this time they mean business!

This method is not recommended by Microsoft, but it’s the only way to allow all users to log in.

The Domain administrators are advised by Microsoft to manually map the certificates to a user in Active Directory until the official updates are available.

Authentication Failure Caused by Security Update This issue only affects installation of May 10, 2022, updates installed on servers used as domain controllers.” Microsoft explains. “Installation of updates released May 10, 2022, on client Windows devices and non-domain controller Windows Servers will not cause this issue. Microsoft added a note that the update will not affect the client’s Windows devices and non-domain controller windows servers, and will only cause issues for the server acting as a domain controller. The domain controller is a server that is responsible for responding to authentication requests as well as verifying the user on a computer network, and the active directory is a type of directory service that stores the information about objects on a network and makes this information readily available for the users. “An issue has been found related to how the mapping of certificates to machine accounts is being handled by the domain controller,” Microsoft added. “After installing updates released on your domain controllers, you might see authentication failures on the server or client for services such as Network Policy Server (NPS), Routing and Remote access Service (RRAS), Radius, Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP), and Protected Extensible Authentication Protocol (PEAP),” Microsoft reported.
