Call-Back: Over the course of Path of the Shell the player assembles various strange box-and-line patterns.Being Tortured Makes You Evil: The leader of the Bahro Nekisahl is the same guy whose shoulder skin Esher stole for linking purposes.Asshole Victim: Among the million-plus people murdered by Veovis and A'Gaeris were slave trafficker Manesmo and would-be false prophet Kadish.Ascended Fanboy: In the singleplayer of To D'ni, the Bevin neighborhood visitors list is populated with the names of well-known players from the first multiplayer period.Most of what Yeesha does, having learnt from the aforementioned Bahro.To demonstrate the Bahro's mastery of time, the night version of Minkata features a visibly spinning Galaxy!

Artificial Outdoors Display: Ahnonay's "island" is actually inside a giant machine with rotating spherical chambers simulating different eras.Had the multiplayer component continued as planned, pages that conflicted with each other would have been added, allowing for greater differences between different players' Reltos. The more impressive ones are harder to find, as rewards for exploration or solving puzzles. Once found, these can be turned off at will. And Your Reward Is Interior Decorating: Throughout the game are scattered pages that add decorations to the player's personal Relto island.Of special note is the Journey Marker shirt, which is given as a specific reward for finishing the main game, and supposedly indicates the wearer sides with Yeesha.

Two expansion packs were released for Uru: To D'Ni and The Path of the Shell. Eventually the multiplayer aspect was released as Myst Online: URU Live (again). Beta testers who had their own fan servers were allowed to keep their servers. The game was originally supposed to be multiplayer only, then had a single player mode added, then the multiplayer aspect was dropped altogether, after it was beta tested. The multiplayer aspect was troubled from the start. In the ruins you find a hologram of Yeesha, Atrus and Catherine's daughter, who tasks you with rebuilding the D'ni civilization. You play an explorer who descends into the ruins of the lost D'ni civilization, located somewhere beneath New Mexico. The biggest departure though, was that originally the game was going to have an Massively Multiplayer Online component to it, where multiple players could work together to solve puzzles. Unlike previous games in the series, Uru is third-person, takes place in modern day, and you play as a custom created avatar instead of the Stranger. Uru: Ages Beyond Myst is the fourth game in the Myst series, developed by Cyan Worlds and published by Ubisoft in 2003.

![]() They are frequently found in sports bars and lounges, and are sometimes coin-operated. Typically referred to as the ‘bar size’ or ‘bar box,’ a 7-foot pool table (7ft by 3.5ft) is perfect for a casual game or the amateur leagues. Is a 6-foot pool table too small for you, but you’re not ready to invest in professional tables? If you have more room to spare, you can enjoy a slightly advanced yet still fun pool game on a larger surface. However, this is just right for fun and games, especially with the kids. So, if you’re planning to turn professional, it is better to consider the other larger dimensions instead. Portable pool tables are made from melamine with metal folding legs and weigh around 200 lbs.ĭo note that the billiard balls of this size are lighter than usual. This feature makes it easier for you to set them aside when not in use or bring them anywhere. Many 6-foot pool tables are portable, too. The awkward angles when taking shots provide good practice in refining your skills. But, this actually adds more dynamic to the game. Given its size, some players may find the table too narrow for a decent game of pool. ![]() This dimension is also more common in the UK. Convenient for those with limited space, this table measures 6 feet by three feet. Significantly smaller than the American tournament table, a 6-foot pool table is fit for amateurs and children. They can be used at home or installed in commercial spaces like sports bars and other recreational areas.Īlthough most manufacturers follow regulation dimensions, it is important to double-check if you are getting the correct size. Regulation pool table dimensions are proportional by following a 2:1 ratio to provide you an excellent gaming experience. Less experienced players will also find it extremely difficult to enjoy the game.įortunately, there are smaller regulation pool table dimensions you can buy. However, not everyone can accommodate something this massive. ![]() The billiard balls for American pool tables are slightly larger, too. The American standard pool table is bigger than its European counterpart, where the latter uses an 8-foot pool table for official tournaments and a 7-foot pool table for amateur leagues. If you are a professional player with a luxury of space, then this size is perfect for your practice. With a 9-foot pool table, players can have more space to move around without blocking the camera, especially for close-up shots. Often shown on TV, covering a tournament is challenging on smaller pool tables. But also, a 9-foot pool table is better for television. The balls spread well when breaking, thus amping up the game since they are way more challenging to shoot. But why this big?įor one, a large pool table surface can affect the playing experience. The standard pool table height is between 29 ¼ inches and 31 inches from the floor. By American standards, professional pool tournaments use a 9-foot pool table (100 x 50 inches). ![]() / drive letter is converted to a UNC or network path. If a network drive letter is specified, the / are raised by this function directly). / Given a path, returns the UNC path or the original. Public static extern int WNetGetConnection( You can then press ctrl-v and it willĬlipboard.SetText(Pathing.GetUNCPath(Clipboard.GetText())) Īnd here's the Pathing class definition (I'll try to find the actual source as I can't remember where I found it): public static class Pathing For example, you can do "Copy as Path" and then press the shortcut you whatever string is in the Clipboard and convert it to the UNC path Call it pressing the shortcut you assign. This is so you can assign a shortcut to the program and be able to via %1 (see registry instructions below)Ĭlipboard.SetText(Pathing.GetUNCPath(args)) be called from the context menu, the context menu will pass it Takes the parameter from the command line. So the solution I came up with (by copying someone else's code) was a little C# program that you can call from a context menu in Explorer and will allow you to translate the Mapped drive letter to the actual UNC path. The problem here is that one may map a network share to Drive Y whereas someone else in the organization may have the same network share mapped as Drive X therefore, sending a link such as Y:\mydirectory may not work for anyone else except me.Īs the OP explains, Explorer does show the actual path in the Explorer bar, but you cannot copy it (typing is tedious and prone to errors, so this is not an option) even if you choose copy as path from the context menu: I just had the need for the same thing OP is asking and after searching on Google and reading the answers, none of them provided what I think the OP and I are looking for. I've not tried this, but it could be solution for those who are prohibited from installing normally. Update: As of version 12.0, a new "portable" installer is available on the above site, which installs only for the current user into the AppData\Local folder. ![]() It's great for emailing users in your company who have access to a network path, and if they have the same network mapping as you, you can choose the former, otherwise you can use the latter. You can also choose to show only one or two lines on the base context menu, for example you can have two lines, Copy Long Path, and Copy Long UNC Path. I had exactly the same problem - not everyone had the same mapped drives as me, or mapped to the same letters.Īfter much searching I found a context menu extension named Path Copy Copy on GitHub ( ) which is an extended version of a similar, older extension (called Pathcopy) has quite a few options for copying paths as text, including one for UNC paths - example of the options available are shown below: Sure my emailed path might eventually break because I'm losing the drive letter indirection but that's OK with me. I could just make a separate network location and then ignore my Q: drive but that's inconvenient (and they do it so they can move accounts across servers). I know I could just set up mapped network locations instead of the mapped drives for the ones that I set up personally and avoid this problem, but most of the mapped drives like the "users" share come from our corporate IT policy and can't be overridden. ![]() Is there a way to say "hey man copy that path as text with the \\cartman\users\emueller not the Q: in it?" In Explorer it clearly knows the full path - in the address bar I see "Computer -> emueller (\\cartman\users) (Q:) ->". This is unhelpful to others, who would need to see \\cartman\users\emueller\foo.doc to be able to consume the link. When I copy the file path (shift right click, "copy as path") it gets the file name "Q:\foo.doc" in the clipboard. What I'd like to be able to do is to copy the full real path (not the drive letter) from Windows Explorer to send to folks.Įxample: I have a file in my "Q:" drive, \\cartman\users\emueller, and I want to send a link to the file foo.doc therein to coworkers. We have a lot of mapped drives here, both ones we set up ourselves and ones set up by our IT overlords. For example, the following setting will launch the "Ubuntu-20.I frequently want to share Windows network paths to files with other folks on my team via email or chat. In older versions of Windows Terminal, you can use /home/ to directly refer to your home folder.

Second, is a reflection that indexing by search engines, the use of tagging, semantic ontologies, etc. ![]() There are good reasons for welcoming a multiplicity of approaches to the same problem set (even in a time of cuts and financial restraint). These are, first that concerns about reinventing the wheel can be overstated. Reading them both has provoked two quite separate conclusions which I will discuss in turn. This article was sparked by the coincidence, and it was first drafted in December 2010. “Using NVivo audio–coding: Practical, sensorial and epistemological considerations,” Social Research Update (SRU), issue 60 (Autumn 2010), at. Megan Wainwright and Andrew Russell, 2010. The FQS Web site section for the article “how to cite this item” gives the date as 2010.Ģ. NB on the Web site this is dated January 2011 but it was made available late 2010, and announced in the ‘ Newsletter November 2010’, late in November 2010.

Erin Jessee, Stacey Zembrzycki, and Steven High, 2010. So it is with discussions about the qualitative indexing of time–based media (sound and video recordings): two articles have been published on the same topic in late 2010.ġ. There’s an old joke among commuters that you spend a long time waiting for a bus then two come along together. Web searches and the absence of an overview Reinventing the wheel: Competition and duplication/functions or tasks This failure leaves a continuing role for human agents, such as subject specialists and librarians, to see connections and make complete comparison lists of what is available for end users. Suggestions are made as to why search engines are not picking up on this. The lack of synoptic overview of different applications approaching the same topic is noted. They enable real comparison to be made and different styles may suit different categories of user. Issues of overlap and duplication are discussed as a positive boon. In this article I survey different approaches to the indexing of time based media (sound and video recordings) in response to two articles published in December 2010.

If staff at all levels are encouraged to highlight potentially insecure actions, then organizations can better target security efforts at people, processes, and technologies most likely to result in problems. Regarding culture change, the need to foster a culture of ‘learning not blaming’ is self-evident. ![]() Peer support from exemplary organizations would also be beneficial, as would regulatory input from initiatives such as NHS Improvement and the Association of Directors of Adult Social Services in England (ADASS). Support for implementing new standards could come from a refreshed IG toolkit and additional expertise from NHS Digital (formerly the Health and Social Care Information Centre – HSCIC). Objective assurance of this compliance would be best carried out by third-parties, with organizations including this as part of their regular internal audit process. Only those found to be compliant would have their contracts extended, thereby providing a mechanism to remove non-compliers. In the first instance, the requirement to comply with data security standards should be written into the financial contracts for organizations. Implementing standards and checking compliance The full list of 10 can be seen on page 22 of the report. Technology: Ensure technology is secure and up-to-date.Process: Ensure the organization proactively prevents data security breaches and responds appropriately to incidents or near misses.People: Ensure staff are equipped to handle information respectfully and safely, according to the Caldicott Principles.Instead, the focus should be on strong leadership in data security, and the report lists 10 standards organized under three leadership obligations: When the costs of licensed documentation and related support were factored in, the report concluded that such standards were not suitable for sector-wide implementation. ![]() With respect to operation in health and social care, organizations were often found to be overwhelmed by highly detailed standards such as ISO/IEC 27001 and ISF SoGP. Information Security Forum’s Standards of Good Practice (ISF SoGP).ISO/IEC 27000:2013 (Information Security Management).Public Services Network – Code of Connection (PSN CoCo).Information Governance Toolkit (IG Toolkit).The report analyzed the following existing standards: Additionally, the self-assessment aspect of compliance mechanisms caused concern with audits generally being welcome since they provided “teeth in enforcement”. StandardsĪ relatively large number of frameworks and standards already exist, and the report states that there is potential for confusion among data controllers. Setting the tone in her foreword to the Report, Dame Caldicott says, “Everyone who uses health and care services should be able to trust that their personal confidential data is protected.” The remit of the report was to recommend new data security standards, a method to check compliance with these standards, and a new consent/opt-out model for data sharing. Understandably, the 2016 report focuses on trust. Following controversy regarding data extraction from GP surgeries in 2016, a further follow-up report was produced. The Caldicott Report produced six principles, with a seventh added in a follow-up report in 2013. Specifically, she looked at how the increasing use of information technology (IT) within the NHS could erode confidentiality due to its ability to quickly propagate information on patients around the care ecosystem. In 1997, Dame Fiona Caldicott examined concerns regarding patient information in the UK’s National Health Service (NHS). patients) sometimes provide their information from a vulnerable position, suffering from reduced cognition, stressed, under medication, etc. The health and social care sector is different, however, in that the data is likely to be more sensitive, and the data generators (i.e. This is true of any sphere where the concept of big data is applied. The use of data gathering, storing, sharing, and analysis in health care can allow for all manner of efficiencies and better services for patients. While the technical aspects of sharing patient data in health and social care continue to evolve, the Review of Data Security from the National Data Guardian focuses on the more permanent issue of building trust. 3: The Impact of new data security standards and opt-out model on the IG Toolkit ![]() Defensive end Aaron Smith led the defensive line with 60 tackles and 6 sacks. The Steelers defense was the best in the league that year. The ground game was led by running back Willie Parker, but injuries had slowed him down back up Mewelde Moore rushed for 588 yards. Other receivers included Santonio Holmes (55 receptions and 821 yards), Nate Washington (40 receptions and 631 yards), and tight end Heath Miller (48 receptions and 514 yards). His main target was Super Bowl XL MVP Hines Ward, who had 1,043 yards with 81 receptions and 7 touchdowns. He threw 3,301 yards for 17 touchdowns with 13 interceptions. Pittsburgh Steelers (AFC)īen Roethlisberger finished his fifth season as Steelers quarterback going into Super Bowl XLIII. After losing his starting position to Matt Leinart in 2006, he regained his spot after Leinart went down with injuries. ![]() Journeyman quarterback Kurt Warner found his home with the Arizona Cardinals in 2005. The team went on to earn their first Super Bowl spot since the NFL/AFL merger. The following season their 9-7 record was enough to secure them a No. ![]() Whisenhunt took the team to 8-8 in his first season as head coach. Ken Whisenhunt had left Pittsburgh to take over as head coach of the Cardinals in 2007. They last made a postseason appearance in 1998. The Arizona Cardinals had a long, 50-plus year journey to an NFL Championship. The team earned their seventh Super Bowl trip, tied for the second-most in NFL history. The team began rebuilding following a less than stellar 2006 season with the promotion of defensive coordinator Mike Tomlin to head coach. Pittsburgh had last appeared in Super Bowl XL where they were victorious. This game is ranked highly in most polls for the best Super Bowl of all time. Pittsburgh sought a record-setting 6th NFL title. The Cardinals sought their first championship since 1947, before the NFL and AFL merged, the longest drought in NFL history. Super Bowl XLIII was played on February 1, 2009, at the Raymond James Stadium in Tampa Bay, Florida, with the Pittsburgh Steelers facing the Arizona Cardinals. ![]() In 2021’s Mortal Kombat, ”MMA fighter Cole Young, accustomed to taking a beating for money, is unaware of his heritage-or why Outworld’s Emperor Shang Tsung has sent his best warrior, Sub-Zero, an otherworldly Cryomancer, to hunt Cole down. The gory video game adaptation was also watched by 3.8 million households during that weekend, making it a big success for HBO Max. Produced by James Wan, Mortal Kombat pulled in $83.6 million worldwide at the box office beginning on April 23, 2021, right around the time that pandemic vaccines were finally being offered up for the first time. New Line’s first Mortal Kombat movie had a post-credits tease of Johnny Cage making an appearance in the sequel, and we can also expect the actual tournament to begin this time. ![]() Previously reported, Jeremy Slater (“The Exorcist”, “Moon Knight”) is writing the upcoming sequel. Simon McQuoid is reportedly back to direct Mortal Kombat 2. Perhaps this time around Cage is an aged former actor star who’s hungry to recapture his glory days? A grizzled, perhaps even bearded Johnny Cage? That could be an interesting take. ![]() Many fans had been lobbying for WWE superstar The Miz to play Cage in the upcoming sequel, but Urban’s casting will bring a whole new facet to the character. The star of Amazon’s hit series “The Boys,” Karl Urban turns 50 years old next month, so this particular take on the classic Mortal Kombat character is sure to be different than expected. He is often characterized as a swashbuckling, Hollywood fighting movie star who places great importance on his image and consistently behaves in a cool manner.” Johnny Cage is depicted as an action movie star with an extensive martial arts background. The Wrap reminds, “Johnny Cage was introduced in the first Mortal Kombat arcade game in 1992. A sequel to the Mortal Kombat movie from 2021 is on the way, and The Wrap reports tonight that Karl Urban (“The Boys”) is in final talks to join the cast as Johnny Cage. |
