Levels are easily at least and hour or two long, the base version of the game, without DLC features 9 missions, easily reaching 9-18 hours worth of gameplay depending on your style of play. For a completionist like myself who likes to take their time in each mission and explore as much as possible to find collectables and complete as many objectives as possible. It’s an unnecessary padding, as the game itself is quite long. They end up feeling like filler, or ways to pad out the length of the game. But after a while, when you’ve seen every camera angle possible, they begin to get annoying. I found that, personally, the x-ray cameras are really cool the first few times. Showing how the bullets penetrate armor helmets, shatter bones and puncture the brain, heart, lungs and other vital organs. From a far enough distance, the camera will automatically go into x-ray mode, following the the bullet on it’s trail and showing the specific areas the bullet impacts. The game retains it’s x-ray vision for sniping shots, if you shoot key areas on an enemy, lungs, liver, heart, head etc. You can literally do as little or as much as you want to do. You can sneak and knock soldiers out, killing only as you need to, or you can sneak and avoid everyone and only take out the main objectives. You can go loud, sniping everyone you see. Most maps are incredibly large, giving the player multiple means and methods to achieve any or all objectives. Each level of the game features up to three major objectives, up to three secondary objectives and usually one or two HVTs, or High Value Targets, to eliminate. Uncovering information about secret operations that the Nazis plan to utilise to potentially change the course of the entire WWII. Infiltrate behind enemy lines, take out key German installations and fortifications, Nazi officers and high value targets. Sniper Elite 5 plays very much like the previous games, the objective is relatively simple. And they intent to load these boats and send them out to attack key Allied locations and even launch attacks on American soil! Karl must uncover details of this operation, assist the resistance and also his American Ranger battalion as they try to push the German invasion back! Karl later discovers that Operation Kraken, is actually advanced stealth equipped German U-Boats equipped with state of the art V2 rockets that have been enhanced to have a much farther range. Karl then takes out several key German installations and liberates the village, he is then informed by resistance members about Operation Kraken, a German superweapon that could turn the tide of the whole war. His first objective is to rendezvous with informant Charlie Barton, who informs him that their group has either killed or captured. Long range coastal anti-ship guns destroy the sub that delivered him to the beach and he is left to complete his mission mostly alone. After landing on the beach and taking out a few sentries, his infiltration method is discovered. Karl Fairburne, elite American sniper, is tasked with establishing a foothold for and American landing operation and to liberate the village Colline-Sur-Mer. Sniper Elite 5 takes place a year before the events of Sniper Elite V2 and continues the story directly following the events of Sniper Elite 4. Karl must sneak, snipe and sabotage his way to assist the Rangers and discover the truth about Operation Kraken and stop the Germans before it’s too late! Ace Sniper Karl Fairburne is called upon once more, this time attached to an Army Rangers battalion in the advance of Operation Overlord, to assist with securing a beach head for American landing operation in France.

Shopping assistants, like Shoptagr and Honey, create real value for the end-user. Rather than making paying for anything you buy online easier and more seamless they will be able to make shopping for anything you buy online easier and more seamless wish list management, coupons, cashback, loyalty programs, and payments all-in-one. On top of this increased visibility Honey will allow PayPal to provide the consumer with a more holistic and complete service. Access to this pre-purchase funnel means they could understand user intent in real-time and influence purchase behavior way before the payment page. They could have never known that en-route to that shopping moment, Dana considered 4 other products, 2 other brands of Bluetooth speakers, and eventually chose (the more expensive) JBL speaker on Target because they were the only ones committing to having it gift wrapped and shipped on her exact birthday. Until the Honey acquisition, PayPal would have had visibility into the last few moments of this purchase journey, right at the payment page. She would also choose to have it gift wrapped and shipped directly to her sister’s college dorm room. In the process, Dana would have visited 7 different retailers, browsed 4 different product categories, created a list of 11 different potential presents, and eventually decided to buy her sister a JBL Bluetooth Speaker for $105.99 from Target. Over the next few weeks, Dana will spend lots of time browsing, researching, comparing, and contemplating what she should buy her sister. Her sister's birthday is in six weeks from now but Dana has already begun scouring the market for ideas, and is asking herself: “What do I buy her this year? How much should I spend?” Dana is a 26-year-old living in New York City who wants to buy her sister a birthday gift. And yet, in today's sophisticated world of massive data-usage, this is still a very narrow view of the world. Overlay this data over many purchases of one or more buyers, alongside some demographic data, and PayPal has a treasure trove of data which has empowered it to become the amazing company that it is today. Now PayPal knows who the purchaser was, how much they paid, and when the purchase was made. The user completes the purchase and now PayPal has very specific visibility into the purchase behavior of that user. For instance, a user reaches the payment page of a product they want to buy and chooses PayPal as a payment option. PayPal acquired Honey because they and most other payment companies have a very narrow view of their customer’s world one that in many ways starts and finishes on the payment page of a product purchase funnel. Anything that can give these payment providers a competitive edge over their rivals will be strategic. And just like the telcos, the payment providers want a piece of the action that’s taking place on their infrastructure. That kind of makes the payment providers like telecom providers: dumb pipes over which transactions are made by other companies who gather and analyze the data of consumers. But they don’t actually own the customer data (information on what you’re buying, where, or what led you to buy it), just the financial transaction data. Payment providers like PayPal, Klarna, and even Visa, strive to make paying for anything you buy online easier and more seamless. Our thesis -that there is immense value for consumers, merchants, and payment providers in virtual shopping assistants- was proved correct by the sale of our largest competitor to the world’s leading payment company for an eye-popping 4 Billion. (Photo by Yichuan Cao/NurPhoto via Getty Images)īut for the team at Shoptagr, a Tel Aviv-based startup, the news brought vindication and even a sense of relief. PayPal has agreed to acquire Honey Science Corporation, a rapidly-growing technology platform for shopping and rewards, for approximately $4 billion. PayPal logo can be seen at its office in San Jose, California, United States on November 23, 2019. Why would PayPal pay such a large amount to acquire what is essentially a coupon app with a wish list feature? And even more puzzling, it’s an app that operates overwhelmingly in the Chrome App Store, not exactly considered the most relevant platform. When payments giant PayPal acquired Honey for $4,000,000,000 in late November, many people raised their eyebrows. For PayPal, Honey Makes The World Go Roundįull disclosure: I am an investor in and Board of Directors Member of Shoptagr, a company that makes a smart virtual shopping assistant, and which is a competitor of Honey Science Corporation. You can press Square and Triangle for punch and kick combos, and using the right stick will make you do a few actual moves. The fun is in playing against others and hitting buttons to get the upper hand. The focus is on fast and furious fighting, and at the end of the day, it is an arcade fighter. This is the same across every class, so to the astute WWE fans that want individuality across the roster, you aren’t going to get it. The only move that differs is their signature and finisher. For example, despite Aleister Black and AJ Styles having very different move sets in real life, their moves are exactly the same. With each style, the basic moves remain the same regardless of who you choose. Each wrestler is categorised into five styles: High-Flyer, Powerhouse, Technician, All-Rounder, and Brawler. Gameplay takes elements of the WWE 2K series and streamlines it, giving players a simple approach to wrestling. If you aren’t familiar with Saber Interactive’s NBA 2K Playgrounds, this concept of playing to unlock will be alien, and with it not being 100% clear that not everyone will be available to play as from launch, many people might feel cheated. Saying that, a lot of the WWE Universe’s younger audience are likely to spend time playing this, and they might be put off by having to grind to get their favourites. Plus, it gives me a sense of accomplishment when I’ve worked hard to unlock guys like AJ Styles and Andre the Giant. Personally, I have no problem with working to unlock my favourite beefcakes because I’m always too overwhelmed when choosing who I’m going to wrestle with. You aren’t given the complete roster from the off instead, only a handful of them are available. I can see a lot of people struggling to look past the paywall when it comes to new Superstars. WWE 2K Battlegrounds is by no means perfect, but it quite enjoyable, acting as a palette cleanser whilst Visual Concepts and 2K reinvigorate their broken franchise. In a bold move, 2K decided to take a year out to focus on sorting out those problems, and in return offer something a little more arcadey. WWE 2K20 was riddled with bugs, messy gameplay, and other familiar issues that has plagued the series for years. It’s no secret that 2K’s yearly WWE release has become a huge mess. Standing as a placeholder for the duo’s upcoming debut album The Swelly Life, The Preview is an eight-track album: a perfect sampler of the group’s wide musical palette. The Preview is exactly what it is packaged as: a preview. Check out the tour dates below.Ġ2/13 San Francisco CA Bottom of the Hill*Ġ2-16 Vancouver, British Columbia – Biltmore CabaretĠ2-24 Minneapolis, MN – Triple Rock Social ClubĠ2-28 Toronto, Ontario – Legendary Horseshoe TavernĠ3-04 Washington, DC – Rock and Roll Hotelīy Frank Wu ⋅ Octo⋅ Post a comment Chiddy Bang – The Preview They will be joined by Yuck, over from the UK for the first time. Having just finished a European tour with MGMT, Smith Westerns are beginning a US tour this week. The Killers’ logo typeface fits well too, although I’m not sure I can say the same for the buildings lining the bottom… A soft blue dominates the cover (plus hints of red), and gives off a fuzzy, mellow feel. Nothing really much to say, just a wonderful looking cover. Jimmy Eat World – Chase This Lightīeautiful photograph with vibrant colors, giving insight to what the music itself is like. It’s something you definitely won’t mind looking at on your ipod.The background may be a tad simple when the complex photomanip is placed on top, but the Delphic typeface works to ease the combination. Great photo-manipulation of the band members and the smoke they fade into. Closer up you notice the objects piled up which adds complexity and depth. From a distance, the red bars have strong dominance and clearly indicate the cover is of the 3rd installation of Jay-Z’s ‘Blueprint’ records. Jay-Z – The Blueprint 3Ĭlean cover, with something other than the generic rapper’s face or body photograph. Odd colors, an i-don’t-know-what’s-going-on scene, and the cartoony style makes the cover seem like it’s something you’d see in a weird dream or trip (drugs are bad for you, kids). ‘Psychedelic’ just about sums up this cover. The variety of color also serves to reflect the album title itself. It features a galaxy photograph layered with paint and interesting type that looks simple and fits Radiohead’s style of experimental music. This pop art styled cover designed by Stanley Donwood, who has done every Radiohead artwork since 1994, looks like something created digitally when in fact it (surprisingly) isn’t. The multi-hued red, green and blue colored strips of paper being layered have great visual texture and the fact that no two strips share the same tone (more or less) gives this cover a lot of interest. No stairs here to reflect the album title, but the cover looks fantastic nonetheless. This feel is further expressed by the textures of the water and sky. Contrasting temperatures result in an odd feel that absolutely fits Brand New’s distinct rock sound. I have no idea why the astronaut is there, but this cover just looks, to put it simply, cool. The artwork just has a unique dream feel. The artwork has depth and gives you plenty to look at, especially the various contrasts that coexist (moon/wall and crow/wall with light and dark values, closet interior/wall with temperature values). The flying sheep and dream-like atmosphere are this cover’s best features. The following twelve album artworks are not ranked in any particular order. When we think of an album, the first thing that often comes to mind is the cover it’s become a peripheral of music that no album, EP, or single can do without, remaining with us even in the digital format. This “invention” provided every album with its own unique identity and images that fans could associate their music with.

When experiencing connectivity issues with your MPW Internet or – and these steps do not restore internet connectivity – please call our HelpDesk at 263-2631. Check that the ethernet or USB cable is securely connected to both modem and back of computer, and finally check that the power cord is plugged into the modem and the wall outlet. Make sure the coaxial cable is connected snugly to the back of your modem and to the wall faceplate (don’t overtighten). If you still cannot browse the Internet, please follow the next step. If you can get online while you’re connected directly to your modem, but not when you’re connected to your router, the problem is somewhere on your router. Once you have done this, it is necessary to reboot the modem. Connect your computer’s Ethernet port directly to the modem’s Ethernet port with one of the network cables to eliminate the router from the setup. If not, there are a few more troubleshooting steps we can perform to determine where the issue is. Is it working? If so, there’s no need to read any further. Remove Your Router from the Configuration If you still cannot browse the Internet after the computer has finished loading, please follow the next step. Reboot Your ComputerĮxit all programs and shutdown your computer, wait momentarily and then restart. If you are unable to surf the Internet, please follow the next step. Then try connecting to the Internet again on your computer or connected device. Give them both time to boot up and connect by watching the activity lights (usually 1 to 5 minutes). Unplug the router first, then unplug the modem. Neither of them have power buttons, so it’s a matter of pulling the power cord out of the back of the modem or router. Leave the devices unplugged for 30 seconds, then plug the modem back in followed by the router. Reset Your Modem and Router (Power Cycle) If your modem lights are solid and you are unable to browse the Internet on your computer, please follow the steps below. If this is the case, please contact our technical support department at 263-2631 to have one of our technicians help you. If you have two lights labeled “DS” and “US”, or a light labeled “CABLE” and either of them are blinking or off completely, chances are that your cable signal is in need of adjustment. Take a look at the front of your cable modem. If you’ve been surfing away happily on your computer on your home network and then for no apparent reason go down, here are some troubleshooting steps that may help you. In a typical home wired/wireless network, there are three main components: the computer(s) and other devices, your wireless router, and your modem. While Google “soft delete” (Trash) then “hard delete” (Trash emptied or 30 days + 25 days) helps undo human error on Drive loss, it doesn’t eliminate human error. And while Team Drives reduces the chance for an owner deletion, since the Team owns the file, it is still possible for a file to be deleted in error. A file creator or collaborator may think a file’s no longer needed and delete it. These can be compounded by the collaborative nature of Drive. Google Drive and Team Drive files can be due to human error, sync errors, accidental deletions, malicious acts, and malware, or due to accidental or malicious account deletion.Įmptying the Drive Trash to “clean things up,” incorrectly configuring a Drive folder or file migration from one account to another, accidentally deleting a file or folder and finding it’s gone forever due to storage limitations…losing a Drive file through human error is not uncommon. HOW CAN DRIVE AND TEAM DRIVE FILES BE LOST? Learn more about the differences between a legal hold tool like Google Vault and a backup tool like Spanning. While it will allow you to export from searches, it’s purpose-built for legal holds and business use, not for backup and restore. Vault is not a backup and restore tool, but some sysadmins use it for that purpose. You use Data Loss Prevention (DLP) rules to scan files for sensitive content.” “As a Google Workspace administrator, you can prevent users from sharing sensitive content in Google Drive or Team Drives with people outside of your organization. After that, “the data cannot be recovered and is gone forever.” In addition, if storage limits are exceeded, or if the user or an admin empties the user’s Trash, that Drive file may now be “hard deleted” and it may not be possible for the admin to restore it. When an email is deleted in Gmail, it goes first to the user’s Trash, where it is available for restore from Trash for up to 30 days. If the file was deleted more than 30 days ago, the admin can use their tools and retrieve it for up to 25 days after the “soft” delete. In the event a file is mistakenly deleted, end users can self-restore by finding it in their Trash within 30 days from deletion. A “soft” delete to Trash for 30 days followed a “hard” delete after 25 days.Google offers a variety of tools for native Drive data protection, including: WHAT DOES GOOGLE OFFER FOR NATIVE DRIVE AND TEAM DRIVES PROTECTION? The employee checked the trash bin, recycle bin, and desktop for a copy – but the data was gone.” For more details on why you should protect Google Workspace Drive and Team Drives, see this article. As a result, all files disappeared – including some that weren’t even owned by the user moving the folder. One such case is described here : “An HR folder was moved within Google Drive, and it did not sync correctly. Syncing Drive or Team Drives with your PC / laptop can result in sync errors that destroy or overwrite your data. If a user permanently deleted Drive files and data - by emptying the Trash, for example - there’s no easy way to get that data back. ”Ĭommon threats to Google Drive and Team Drives include: After that, the data cannot be recovered and is gone forever. Google can’t tell that the request will lead to data loss.Īs Google states, “You have a limited time from when the data was permanently deleted to restore files and messages. If an admin or a user “tells” Google Drive to do something, even if it’s in error, Google must perform the requested action. However, although Google Workspace and Gmail have been proven over time, Google can’t protect you from you. This rate of adoption wouldn’t happen if Google Workspace and Google Drive were not secure, reliable and trusted.

GOOGLE DRIVE AND TEAM DRIVE BACKUP AND RECOVERY Two new playable races were added to World of Warcraft in The Burning Crusade: the Draenei of the Alliance and the Blood Elves of the Horde. You can get updates regarding future guides, streams, and information on his Twitter account.Main article: Gameplay of World of Warcraft He streams routinely on Twitch and discusses Spreadsheets, WoW Strategy concerning raiding, dungeons, PvP, and leveling. Saevicus has been playing World of Warcraft since the original beta. If collecting solo, just run away as these mobs will eventually evade. There are six easy to find spawns within Eastern Plaguelands to track and monitor, which are pinned to the map below.Īfter clicking on Blood of Heroes, one to multiple Fallen Hero will spawn to defend the area. As such, it will be important to monitor spawn timers to maximize your chances of gathering this resource. There are limited spawns on a lengthy respawn timer. One of the most interesting farms in Classic WoW, from a lore perspective, functions as part of quest submissions, which is the Blood of Heroes farm. Further, there are numerous repeated quests wanting fish submissions to obtain either Insignia of the Crusade or Insignia of the Dawn, which are used for quests within the later phases of Classic. Some of the other zones offer more valued fish, but Lake Mereldar in EPL offers a great deal of high-value fishing for those patient enough to farm them. The primary mobs killed are Frenzied Plaguehound and Monstrous Plaguebat as these mobs have a high chance to drop rugged leather.įishing within Eastern Plaguelands is fairly high value as well. As a result, leather farming is limitless. This loop nets a significant amount of Rugged Leather as you can't kill the mobs fast enough before they start to respawn. However, my personal favorite pathway is pictured below. There are several routes for skinning within the zone. Formula: Enchant Bracer - Argent Versatility.Formula: Enchant Bracer - Healing Power.The most highly valued enchant early within Classic.įurther, within Enchanting, there are a few enchants that come from Quartermaster Miranda Breechlock that are valuable. This mob drops Formula: Enchant Weapon - Crusader. This mob can be farmed in Western Plaguelands as the WPL Farming Guide mentions, there are a few spawns within Eastern Plaguelands that man use to kill this mob. The farming location for the Scarlet Spellbinder is within Tyr's Hand. As such, it is a favorite farming location of mine in regards to Herbalism. This is an easy zone to gather several high-value herbs within. Essentially, run through any open field, and you're likely to find herbs to pick. Herbing routes are numerous within this Eastern Plaguelands. Below is a screenshot of the path one can take to maximize ore farming. As EPL is a max level zone, you will have access to the higher quality ores. Running along the mountain edges is the best way to farm ore in Eastern Plaguelands. However, as this guide is focused on gold making and not reputation farming, that particular farm will not be listed. That said, doing the repeatable quests and dungeons are the most efficient ways to farm the reputation. Therefore, this guide will be a tool to assist players as they endeavor to earn precious gold in WoW Classic.Īlso, the guide points out two reputation rewards worth farming Argent Dawn's reputation to obtain. There are multiple ways to farm gold within Classic World of Warcraft, and professions are one of the most consistent and efficient ways to farm gold. Just as with the previous guide Classic Western Plaguelands Farming Guide, this guide will focus primarily on professions ( note: not all professions are beneficial here) as a means to farm gold. As a result, gold farmers will utilize the zone immensely as it offers a tremendous amount of gold potential and raid consumables for max leveled characters. The Plaguelands offer both an exciting story arc for players as it is the eventual location of Naxxramas and zones rife with gold making potential. It is paired with Western Plaguelands to form the Plaguelands. Eastern Plaguelands is overrun by the Scourge and the Lich King's plague.

I have 10 geographical areas, and 20 types of person. I have 9 identical categories for ‘Source’, which captured what kind of people were quoted in newspaper articles and also where geographically they were from. I wanted to find out what kind of people (sources) are quoted in articles. To explain, I have done a content analysis of a local newspaper. is there a copy and paste mechanism within the recoding function? But now I need to do industrial amounts of recoding and I’m wondering if there’s a way of saving any time/ work – i.e. I am recoding some of my data into different variables – I’ve done a bit of it already and I’ve no problems with the basics. Want to learn more? If you’re just getting started with data analysis in SPSS, or would like a thorough refresher, please join us in our online workshop Introduction to Data Analysis in SPSS. (And of course, once you recode, you should immediately enter value labels and test your syntax to make sure it worked. If you don’t have many variables to recode, say one or two, it’s not a big deal to use the menus (but at least paste the code, so you have a record of what you did later!).īut if you have more than just one or two, all those mouse-clicks get old, fast.Īnd if you need to go back and change your coding scheme, say to combine two small categories, it’s a quick matter to update the code. VARIABLE LABELS Educ_cat ‘Education in Categories’. Or, you could do all of that in just a few lines of very logical syntax code: Output variable Label: Education in Categories In it, I am recoding Educ, Years of Education, into 5 categories: Less than High School, High School Grad, Some College, Bachelor’s degree, More than college. This is from the General Social Survey data set that comes along with SPSS. Here is an example of how to do it in the menus. So do not recode over an existing variable unless you are absolutely certain that the lost information will never be needed. So if you notice a mistake after you’ve recoded, you can’t fix it.īut you may not even notice the mistake, because you can’t even test it. Recoding Into Same Variables replaces the values in the existing variable. In almost every situation, you want to use Into Different Variables. The command I nto Same Variable replaces existing data with new values, but the command Into Different Variables adds a new variable to the data set. SPSS offers two choices under the recode command: I nto Same Variable and Into Different Variables. “These are places men and women live and raised children and died in isolated conditions away from the world for months and months on end,” he said. The Whitefish Point and Old Mackinac Point lighthouses are good examples, he mentioned.Īnd while the historical aspect of lighthouses is significant – lighthouses contributed a lot to the growth of the U.S.’s economy – McKinstry sees the humanitarian side as the more important. “A good group can get that history and education in there in a way that makes sense to the public.” And the ones that aren’t didn’t do a good job of reaching out to the public,” McKinstry said. You can visit lighthouse properties, and you can tell which are cared for and which aren’t very quick. “If you have a good group of people that have the passion for this lighthouse, that alone is hard to find, having the passion and having some skills too. Interior of the Saginaw River Rear Range Lighthouse (Photo courtesy of Patrick McKinstry) According to McKinstry, it boils down to the people. Michigan has more than a hundred lighthouses, but a few tend to gain more attention than others. Watch Great Lakes Now’s segment on Spectacle Reef Light Station’s restoration here: “I just look at it as my life’s mission to take care of these lighthouses.” “I look at it as a second full-time job, my life’s work, if you will,” he said. Not that he gets a penny for it – he has a full-time career as a railroad engineer when he’s not working on lighthouses. Now, McKinstry is the president of the Spectacle Reef Preservation Society and the chair of the Saginaw River Marine Historical Society, working on the restoration of two lighthouses. He volunteered with the group who let him mow the lawn twice a week. His first experience with lighthouse restoration was a lighthouse in Bay City that was being restored when he was 11. “I kept asking questions and why, and why, and eventually the response was because nobody loves it anymore and that stuck with me at that age, and I was hooked,” McKinstry told Great Lakes Now in an interview.įrom there, McKinstry’s interest in lighthouses and maritime history just grew. He was on a family trip at the Old Mackinac Point Lighthouse in Mackinaw City, Michigan, and asking his mother what it was and if he could go in. Go right to the list of lighthouses here.įor Patrick McKinstry, his love of lighthouses began when he was 4 or 5 years old.
