![]() It won’t be much longer until the answers are revealed, however, with Phasmophobia’s Cursed Possessions update right around the corner. It’s still unclear how the four new cursed possessions will be incorporated into Phasmophobia, and whether players will be able to equip a summoning circle as gear prior to a match, or if it’s an object found inside haunted locations, similar to Phasmophobia’s Ouija Board. Other ghost types can also be difficult to identify in Nightmare mode, so the new Cursed Possessions update should work to enhance the in-game experience, while not completely derailing the intended challenge. The Twins are especially difficult to identify due to their unique behavior and mechanics, in which they alternate their attacks to confuse players. Phasmophobia’s previous Nightmare update, which added the Phasmophobia The Twins ghost type and Nightmare difficulty mode, was a hit with fans, but introduced a set of enhanced challenges with identification. Many games just randomly throw loud noises and monster faces on your screen for no reason other than "you wanted jumpscares".Hopes are high for the new content, and the quality-of-life improvements set to be introduced are particularly noteworthy. If that is genuinely what you want, play something else. If I wanted hearing damage, I'd have attended more Slayer concerts. They're cheap, they're not even part of the game (they're superimposed over the game similar to a cutscene) and they're obnoxiously loud. However, its jump scares are exactly what people have been saying all along. Player retention is far, far worse than for Phasmophobia, and it's not because it's a crappy game (Very positive overall reviews). ![]() Take for example this "Pacify" game (I realize it's older than Phasmo but the point stands for it just the same).Įven though it has 8% the reviews Phasmophobia has, it doesn't even have 2% its current players. None of those games were remotely successful so far. Quite a number of people have taken the jump scare thing since Phasmo launched and scrabbled together their own "horror" game in unity with plenty of jumpscares. but would be a way to make this game have a bit more consistent "dread build-up horror". I know that might be quite a bit of work to code a way to track and react to this, so obviously a big thing. just prevent the game from slipping into some dull runs where nothing really happens, and either you guess the ghost with a muted "yay us", or get chain hunted until you finally get what you needed or quit. Still random, still organic in effect (what it decides to do, and where, are still totally random). and alter the ghost's behavior a bit to ensure that more "stuff" happened. It would be neat if they could come up with a Horror Director type of code that could monitor how much activity, ghost events, sanity, game time, etc, was all happening. Go to fast through a level, get hit with some big bosses or a wave of zombies. Left 4 Dead had a bit of code that would monitor how quickly progress was going, and would change how things were going based on that. Have a night where you get this back to back 3-5 times, and you'll get people feeling bored of the game and walking away. Leaving it too much to total random chance (or having low activity ghosts, or tying ONLY to sanity making it so you have a brief window of activity before being chain hunted), doesn't give a consistent feel for the game. Other times we get lots of activity, several ghost events leading up to the actual hunts. It's really, really annoying for evidence gathering and general feel of playing horror. And you don't get dread when nothing is happening and then all of a sudden a hunt starts.ĭon't like the 10+ minute games with 0 events, 1 hunt, 21 interactions. ![]() Is activity tied to sanity? Can it also build over time?īecause good horror builds up dread.

The first of four shows will begin May 25 at the Savoy Theatre. There were standing ovations and people cheering and standing in the middle of the first act for the songs,” said director Ron Jenkins. “Last May, when we had our opening night, people went crazy for the show. Rita MacNeil: The episodes title Workin Man, comes from the popular folk song Working Man by Rita McNeil, who appears. ![]() This is the second set of shows at the Savoy, and there have been rave reviews. TPB Rita MacNeil MrBigRed 70 subscribers Subscribe 359 53K views 10 years ago Rita MacNeil's appearance on Trailer Park Boys. The curtain initially rose in Charlottetown before coming to Glace Bay. There's a lot about her early life that comes out in Lindsey's script, both beautiful and painful and powerful,” said MacGillivray. “I think that's one thing the crowds will really appreciate. MacNeil recorded more than 24 albums during her career and won her first of three Junos in 1987.īut the road to fame wasn't an easy one for MacNeil. It’s Mother's Day weekend to start, and telling the story about this tremendous mother figure who is also going to be having a heavenly birthday while we're actually doing the run, so it’s amazing,” said performer Ciarán MacGillivray. Now, a cast of six actors and performers have come together to pay tribute to Cape Breton's first lady of song. MacNeil died in 2013 following complications from surgery at the age of 68.Īt the time of her death, she had reportedly been planning a series of concerts. Canadian musicians, politicians, and fans are paying tribute on social media to Cape Breton folk singer Rita MacNeil, who died Tuesday night following complications from surgery. Rita's Tea Room, a small town Cape Breton attraction that once drew tens of thousands of visitors a year on the star power of owner and singer Rita MacNeil, is closing six years after her death. She ran to music for her refuge and for her fulfillment,” said performer Catherine Woodford. “I think it’s entirely symbolic of Rita as a mother because she was such a hard worker, and so we're here on Mother's Day putting in the work just as she would do. On Mother's Day, the cast of “Dear Rita” spent the day rehearsing songs and stories at one of MacNeil's favourite places to perform - the Savoy Theatre. ![]() It's been 10 years since the passing of Rita MacNeil, but the music and memory of the iconic singer from Big Pond, N.S., lives on. ![]() ![]() These are the next two tabs and modules in the app. Because it loads embedded JPEG from the raw files and not previews, your culling process will be much faster! No need to work with PhotoMechanic anymore before importing your shots.įinally, we come to the more interesting part, at least the one I like best: Edit and Develop. Then comes View mode, which is particularly suited for those who want to cull their files quickly. If you haven’t, you’ll pick it up very quickly! It may not sound useful at first, but when you work on tons of images, it’s often quite helpful to be able to go back in time and watch all of your pictures within one single view. If you have had an iPhone in your hand and opened the photos apps, you’ll know how that works and won’t be lost for a second. The second module is called Photos and will let you go through all the images you’ve worked on in the software by date. No need to remember what catalog or session contains what files simply open the photo editing app and get to work. You can import your pictures into the software, but it’s not a requirement, and you can start working on images as soon as you open the folder they are located in. When opening for the first time, you’ll land in the Manage module to start browsing your folder and images. Similar to the previous edition, ACDSee Photo Studio Ultimate 2018's interface is split into different modules. Who hasn’t dreamed of a seamless workflow with no round-trip whatsoever? Interface and Tools A tool that can just as well manage your assets, process your raw files, automate editing, or allow you to retouch with layers is fantastic! It has the power of removing quite a few steps from your workflow and thus makes it easier and more efficient. It’s something important to emphasize because it’s kind of a unique spec. It could replace Adobe Lightroom or Capture One Pro, but it may just as well take the place of Affinity Photo or Adobe Photoshop. ACDSee Photo Studio Ultimate 2018 is quite a unique software. "Many people expect Google or Apple to take care of you, but they mess up as well," Kjaersgaard says. The stolen Google data comes to light in the wake of a high-profile breach of celebrity Apple customers who used its iCloud service to back up their mobile devices. In the wake of the stolen Google credentials surfacing, Kjaersgaard recommends users "regularly change your passwords - once per month, for example - and use different credentials for every site," so that hackers can't use dumps of stolen data to log into accounts on other sites. ![]() Most passwords more than 3 years old.� peterkruse September 10, 2014 They likely originates from various sources. #Gmail #leak of 5 million accounts confirmed legit. It could be that this was just a dump that was sold to someone and placed on a forum, but the actual dump could have been 50 million - who knows?" "There could be a lot more than just this 5 million. Furthermore, the stolen Google credentials that have come to light may represent only a fraction of what was stolen. "Normally, you don't think 5 million is that much, because you hear 5 million here, and 5 million there - but that's a lot of data shifting around in hacker communities," Kjaersgaard says. The trove of about 5 million leaked Google account credentials is a significant data breach, says Morten Kjaersgaard, CEO of endpoint security vendor Heimdal Security, which is owned by CSIS Security Group. Reportedly, some dumps of the stolen data that include both the usernames and passwords are also now in circulation, beyond the cybercrime forums on which they first appeared. ![]() "It has my address in there, but with a password I haven't used in 7 or 8 years," says one commenter in a related Reddit thread.Ī related 109MB text file is circulating on the Internet that lists the nearly 5 million Google usernames - and thus Gmail addresses - affected, although it redacts the stolen passwords. Multiple individuals whose Google account usernames - which double as Gmail e-mail usernames - appear in the data dump have reported that the leaked passwords date from some time ago. ![]() "We have no evidence that our systems have been compromised, but whenever we become aware that accounts may have been, we take steps to help those users secure their accounts." Notably, the service already alerts users to unusual account activity - including changes in a user's log-in location, or the device they're using - and offers a two-factor authentication system, which would block any unauthorized log-in attempts using stolen credentials. "The security of our users' information is a top priority for us," he says. Our best guess is that it comes from various sources."Ī Google spokesman says there's no indication that the information in circulation is the result of a hack against its systems. "The origin/source of the leak is still unknown. "They were distributed to several Russian forums and then shared through different file-sharing services," Kruse says. The stolen information has surfaced on multiple cybercrime forums. As a result, any Google users whose details were compromised might not be at risk of account takeovers, provided they've changed their passwords in the last three years. "Some have been confirmed to be three years old and some suspected to be even older," Kruse tells Information Security Media Group. What's not yet clear, however, is where the stolen information comes from, or how old it might be. ![]() See Also: JavaScript and Blockchain: Technologies You Can't IgnoreĮlectronic-crime specialist Peter Kruse at CSIS Security Group in Copenhagen, Denmark, is one of several security experts who have spotted a leak of data involving millions of credentials from Google and other webmail providers.

The color palette of the emblem echoes the shade of the beer, so it is designed in brown and gold tones. They are pointed at the ends and have thin white lines on the right side. To convey its beer brand’s unorthodoxy and historical heritage, the company chose a gothic typeface with elongated letters. This is emphasized by the monochrome, the whimsical curves, the pointed ends, and the symbols reminiscent of knives with a long blade (in particular, the letter “f”). The central one bears the full name of the printer: “Peter Schöffer von Gernsheim.” Under the sign is the name of the beer brand, made in gothic style. All three circles have wide border rings. They represent typography elements, in honor of the invention of Schöffer, who designed the typography for the first Bible printed in Europe. To the right and left of the main circle are two smaller circles. The line separating them runs vertically, exactly in the middle. The portrait looks very original because half of the typographer’s head and neck are dark with light strokes, while the other half is light with dark lines. He is positioned in full-face, so he is looking straight ahead. The legendary book printer takes center stage in a large circle against a background of brown and white stripes. The logo of German brewery Schofferhofer naturally depicts its iconic character Peter Schöffer. As a result, the beer, which appeared outside Bavaria, also bears the imprint of historical traditions and cultures, but only in a different way – not conservative, but alternative. Before the master’s arrival, it was called Humbrechthof, and after his arrival, it was renamed Schöfferhof. Not only is the brand named after the medieval innovator, but also the house where he once lived. Schofferhofer wheat beer is brewed in the spirit of Peter Schöffer, which is reflected in the logo. The brewery, too, developed the latest flavors, producing an original brew infused with the earth’s energy, water, fire, and air. At every turn, the brand emphasizes the parallel between itself and the printer who invented the typeface for the first Bible published in Europe and suggested a considerable number of progressive typographic techniques. Its beverage became a new reference point in German brewing culture, representing a recipe innovation. And it is just as Schofferhofer revolutionized wheat beer. ![]() As an outstanding specialist, he made a breakthrough in typography.

Let us introduce you to the rest of the Schofferhofer range. He was a book printer, an odious figure who made an enormous contribution to German cultural and economic life. This mixed case of German Beer is the perfect pack for summer. Despite being a young brand, it is closely linked to the history of Germany because, in the beginning, its production part was based in a building once occupied by a great German figure – Peter Schöffer (1425-1503).

It can then also lead to a train taking longer to stop at each station, falling further behind schedule and the overall impact of a delay gets worse, even though there's no specific stoppage. If a delay occurs at the peak of a rush period-even for just a few minutes-it can cause trains to quickly back-up, resulting in an area of rolling congestion and/or gaps in service in front of the delayed train.ĭelays can quickly become compounded: For example, once something has delayed a train, more people will be waiting at stations ahead and the delayed train can become crowded, leaving people behind at each platform. We also have service management staff strategically placed around the system to be able to help train operators in the event of a problem they can't quickly solve themselves. Knowing that we must deal with the unexpected every day, our schedulers design a little wiggle room into the schedule-this allows for most run-of-the-mill delays, which can be compensated for by a train by simply continuing without further interruption. The cause of delays can range from equipment problems to people becoming ill during their commute. ![]() Rail networks are complicated systems and there are a lot of variables that can affect service. On the ‘L’ system Why do delays happen on the ‘L’ and what do you do about them? Why did my bus go down the street slowly and/or purposely miss a green light?.So what can we do to address a bunch, or prevent them in the first place?.Why did my train stand due to a delay happening somewhere else? Why does my train keep stopping for signal clearance?.Why do Red Line trains sometimes get rerouted via the elevated lines-or Pink Line trains onto the Blue Line tracks?.Why do delays happen on the ‘L’ and what do you do about them?.To help you better understand a few of the challenges we-as the nation’s second-largest transit system-face, we’ve put together this informal overview that covers some of the causes for delays and what we do to address them. We have one overriding goal: To keep our buses and trains running safely and on time 24/7. We also work hard to prevent them in the first place. Regardless of the cause of a problem, there are many things we do to address them both during and after an incident. Though CTA vehicles are well-maintained by experienced staff, mechanical issues can still occur, just as with any vehicle that travels hundreds of miles every day. Many things can cause a delay to transit service, and it's often due to something entirely out of CTA's control, such as roadway congestion and situations that require help from emergency responders (like a person becoming ill and unable to be helped off a train). Most of those trips are on-time and uneventful-but with a system this large, complex and busy, problems can occur and a delay at just the wrong time can affect the commute of thousands of people at once. Suffice it to say, we run a lot of service. Together, o ur vehicles, on an average weekday, travel the distance of almost a full trip to the moon and back! □□□ To provide this many rides, we need to provide a lot of service: ‘L’ trains travel about 233,906 miles on a typical weekday (about seven times the circumference of the Earth at the equator!). Our more than 1,800 buses travel over 161,192 miles on a typical weekday (almost another six times around the Earth). If that were a city population, it'd be in the seventh-largest city in the United States (or, in other words, that’s more rides than if the entire population of San Antonio took a ride on one of our buses or trains in a single day). On an average weekday, the CTA provides over 1.5 million rides on its buses and trains. The majority of CTA rides are on-time and uneventful, but sometimes service can be disrupted.

Hurricanes in the northeast are pretty rare and can leave people at a loss for how to prepare for extraordinarily severe conditions. The talk is with local author Puleo, author of Dark Tide, the definitive account of the disaster, and a worthwhile read for those interested in learn more about it.People between North Carolina and Vermont are cleaning up after Irene, the storm that destructively tromped along the eastern seaboard this past weekend. Tuesday, Januis the 100th anniversary of the flood, and the Central Library is hosting an author talk on that date. The tragedy led to stricter construction codes in Massachusetts, and other states across the country. A 2015 study by a team of structural engineers analyzed how the construction of the tank, and the type of steel used, contributed to the collapse. One Harvard University study looked at the impact low winter temperatures had on the disaster. Two modern studies have revisited the collapse and its causes. USIA was held liable, and ordered to pay damages. The court-appointed auditor’s report found, however, that the tank collapsed because of structural weakness. The company tried to explain away the disaster by blaming bomb-planting anarchists. In the aftermath of the tragedy, many lawsuits were filed against USIA. The company used the tank to store the molasses it needed to make rum and industrial alcohol for munitions. The holding tank belonged to The United States Industrial Alcohol Co. But what had caused the disaster? Why had the molasses holding tank ruptured? Crews washed away the molasses with salt water, and used sand to absorb it. The flood killed 21 people, injured about 150 more, and caused extensive damage to property. Human beings - men and women - suffered likewise.” Wreckage under the elevated, where many express trucks parked, Molasses Disaster. The more they struggled, the deeper in the mess they were ensnared. Horses died like so many flies on sticky fly paper. Only an upheaval, a thrashing about in the sticky mass, showed where any life was. Here and there struggled a form - whether it was animal or human being was impossible to tell. “Molasses, waist deep, covered the street and swirled and bubbled about the wreckage. The next day, an article in the Boston Post provided a graphic account of the sight that met the first responders: The flood was over in less than five minutes and rescuers, including over a hundred sailors from the USS Nantucket, quickly arrived on the scene. A wave of molasses, estimated by some to be as high as 15 feet, and moving at a speed of approximately 35 miles per hour, swept through the area. Shortly after noon, on that day in 1919, a storage tank containing over 2.3 million gallons of molasses collapsed in the city’s North End.
