Theme hospital mac os7/6/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() Personally, I tested on Windows and plays the game perfectly, the graphics are great, all the developers thank you very much, in return I can offer them my edited maps to other games that they have in my profile will find. To run on Linux or MacOS X systems - you should visit github/CorsixTH/CorsixTH and follow their instructions. Sooner or later you will still run it, if you like these games. Who is interested that will download and appreciate this game, I recommend all fans of the theme series - save this game in the cloud or somewhere to promote this game and develop, at least not to lose such old and great games. I recommend to play in the screen resolution is not 800圆00, and in the resolution of 640x480 - to fully immerse yourself in the old days pictures, large, large buildings and most importantly, that it is in HD, even in 640x480 will be HD picture. To change the language in the game settings for your country, go to the game options, if your language is not found there, then go to Folders and specify the path font tahoma.ttf and click OK, go back to the game options and see an expanded list of language selection. Game not run.ĥ)Go back to the folder Go to the folder where you installed this game and you can install the same folder Theme Hospital HD 2019, to make it easier to look was in this folder now look for a folder named CorsixTH and look for the file CorsixTH.exe and run it - this is the launch of the game. Decided to support the developers and the memory of this game in the form of saving the archive with the game for those who remember the series of games Theme Park, Sim Theme Park, Sim Theme Park World, Theme Hospital.ġ)Download file theme Hospital HD 2019.zipģ)Go to the theme Hospital HD 2019 folder and find three folders there, choose a folder named CorsixTH v0.30 Installer - Full Version 2009 and click setup.exe - after installation, everything will close and a shortcut will appear, do not run the game.Ĥ)Go back to the folder Go to the Theme Hospital HD 2019 folder and select the folder named CorsixTH v0.63 RC1 Installer - Update 2019 and run CorsixTHInstaller.exe - following the instructions of the installer, it can be choose the path will be installed already the game or you will need to specify manually after installation, click just OK. It is clear that I added the archive to the ZIP - full game and update 2019, thanks a lot to the developers of this game, that in General this game is not forgotten, I played the version 0.30 last time many years ago, and did not pass it. If you downloaded the game and went to the games folder and clicked run and an error appeared, then you should do everything from the beginning, as I did. You need to run the game through the shortcut CorsixTH.exe. After playing a little I realized that this game has become much more beautiful and better. Doctors go crazy if they are too tired, and also slowly gain skill on the job.I present an updated game Theme Hospital HD, call it more CorsixTH, here is the full version of the game and step by step instructions, as downloading the installer CorsixTHInstaller.exe - you get the updated files,not the full version of the game, to run it you need to have the full version of the old Theme Hospital original game, so I was able to add the original game by downloading it on the website, then I downloaded the update Version 0.63-rc1 - released May 2019 and installed it.People litter, puke, and go to the toilet (possibly on the floor if there aren’t toilets around).SDL should work for everybody, but DirectX or OpenGL could be better depending on your graphics hardware.Ī small list of changes include (since Beta 5): It should install three versions – DirectX, OpenGL and SDL. The “ Windows Installer (32- and 64-bit)” will be correct version for most people. Extract the files to some location and remember it, for you will need to select it later.Download from the CorsixTH page the correct version. Otherwise pop over to some abandonware site in order to download it – this linkworks fine for me. The demo files will not allow all the dialogs to be accessed. However CorsixTH Beta 8 now features large amounts of the original game.To use it, you’ll have to have the Theme Hospital files. Some previous releases of CorsixTH have not been reported on this blog, so it may seem like a sudden jump. ![]()

Keepass password safe vs keepassx7/6/2023 ![]() ![]() K2A solves this problem by providing its own keyboard. ![]() We found that, for example, auto-fill functions for applications could be abused to steal the stored secrets from the password manager application using 'hidden phishing' attacks.” “Many apps completely ignore the problem of clipboard sniffing, meaning that there is no cleanup of the clipboard after credentials have been copied into it. This allows you to copy and paste usernames and passwords from an opened KeePass database to the app or webpage where they are needed. Most Android password managers (including most KeePass ports) work using Android’s built-in clipboard function. ![]() This is not as secure as K2A keyboard solution but does minimize the problem. For anyone who is wary of Google, I recommend using either KeePass DX or KeePass Droid instead.īoth of these apps are available from F-Droid and mitigate the clipboard problem with a clipboard timeout. We are comfortable with the trade-off between this risk and the advantages listed above. This means that, in theory, Google could slip malicious code into an update at any time. The main downside of K2A is that it is only available via the Google Play Store, and is therefore updated via Google Play Services. Both of these advantages are related to K2A's custom keyboard feature (see below). It does not rely on Android’s insecure clipboard function to work.Or, indeed, than most commercials products we have reviewed. It has much better Android integration than other Keepass ports.Most of these are open source and can open and manipulate regular KeePass files. There are a number of KeePass ports for Android. ![]()

New trace adkins show7/6/2023 ![]() Detective Matthias Breecher is hired to track down the worst of the Confederate war criminals. We thank our cast, producers, writers and the entire crew for their tireless work and continued dedication to the country music-filled world that is MONARCH. With Kevin Makely, Trace Adkins, Mira Sorvino, Bruce Dern. As the cornerstone of FOX’s new 2022-23 slate, shifting a show of this magnitude allows us to have its entire first season produced, create additional, high-profile content and promotional windows to support launch, and give our viewers the best opportunity to enjoy the series as intended with a non-compromised run of episodes. Unfortunately, due to the unavoidable realities of the pandemic and the profound impact Covid-19 continues to have on our industry and around the world, it is necessary to reschedule MONARCH’s January 30 debut to the Fall. “With an incredible pedigree of talent and musical performances, the powerfully compelling drama, MONARCH, is a top priority for FOX Entertainment in 2022. He released his first Christmas album, the Celtic-tinged 'The King's Gift,' later that year.The premiere of Monarch, the TV drama series starring Susan Sarandon, and Trace Adkins about the fictional first family of country music, has been delayed until the fall.įox announced the show, which was set to premiere on January 30th, will now premiere in the fall due to COVID-19. Additionally, Adkins competed on two seasons of 'Celebrity Apprentice,' winning the second time, and has also acted in a number of films, including 'The Lincoln Lawyer' and 'Moms' Night Out.' In recent years he has turned his attention to some very different projects, releasing an album of love songs, 'Love Will. He has scored additional hits with 'Ladies Love Country Boys' and 'You're Gonna Miss This,' both of which topped the country charts. 2005's 'Songs About Me' scored an enormous crossover success with 'Honky Tonk Badonkadonk,' which hit the pop Top 40. 1 with '(This Ain't) No Thinkin' Thing).' His second and third albums were less successful, but in 2001 his 'Chrome' album hit the Top 5, and its title song reached the Top 10. Adkins released his debut album, 'Dreamin' Out Loud,' in 1996, scoring a Top 5 hit with 'Every Light in the House' and his first No. He has twice been to rehab for alcohol, but despite his unusual life story, the roughneck singer has emerged as a likable Everyman who has also starred on TV and in the movies. Prior to his country career he worked on oil rigs, and he was shot through the heart and lungs by his second wife, barely surviving. According to the show’s website, last season 14 competitors headed to a Texas ranch to prove they can out-cowboy. Be it through love, heartache, passion, sorrow or pure lust for life, music has always fulfilled a common. The country singer is the host of the INSP channel’s first competition television series. Trace Adkins said if it wasnt for the show Monarch he wouldnt have performed the covers. As the cornerstone of FOX’s new 2022-23 slate, shifting a show of this magnitude allows us to have its entire first season produced. Trace Adkins is one of the most colorful stars in country music. On Thursday, country star Trace Adkins revealed that his competition series Ultimate Cowboy Showdown will return for Season 3 next year. Straight to the point, Trace Adkins said, Only the one with true grit will win the ‘Ultimate Cowboy Showdown.' Be sure to tune in to INSP at 8 p.m. The premiere of Monarch, the TV drama series starring Susan Sarandon, and Trace Adkins about the fictional first family of country music, has been delayed until the fall. ![]()

Do you have a good backup for your Mac? It's for times like these having a bootable clone of a working system will save your bacon. ![]() It's possible whatever code that got downloaded during the iPhone upgrade did something untoward to your Mac. I know current PT versions still have some 32 bit code. However when I went to OSX 10.13.6 I got a couple of plugins and h/w drivers that put up an error message saying they weren't optimized for 64 bit. What exact plugins won't load? Avid or third party? For about a month or so I ran PT 2019.6 on OSX 10.12.6 and had no such issues. Surely not connected ?Īny ideas ? I've trashed prefs (made it worse) and ran first Aid on the boot drive. When i plugged it into my mac I had a message come up saying that to connect my iPhone I bit of software had to download, which it did. The only thing that's changed is I upgraded my iPhone to iSO13. Now I have a few plug-ins that won't load because "they aren't valid 64bit" ? They have worked fine up to this point?

Runestone keeper crucified7/6/2023 ![]() Told from the POV of Eleanor, the kids meet Camedon the Keeper (most defo not fae) and Ralph the Goblin, amongst others. At Black Ledge and the Realm they meet mysterious creatures and get their own sense of magic. The story is about the Driscoll children's move into a fancy new house called Black Ledge. ![]() The story reminded me of a cross between Five Children and It, The Spiderwick Chronicles and The Wishing Chair but more focused on vampire-elfish creatures and magic. Pendleton has created a sweet and adventure filled story which kids everywhere will enjoy. In The Keeper and the Rune Stone, Paige W. I received a copy from the author in exchange for an honest review! I particularly like the way in which Pendleton managed to make the characters of the animals believable because, in general, talking animals aren't my thing as their behaviours are too cliché.Īlthough this is probably a book aimed at children, and certainly is suitable for relatively young readers it is a book that I think can be enjoyed by anyone, if not because of the beautiful style, then because of the nostalgic feelings it awakens. The characters themselves work really well, each one having a unique personality. Although there were some plot points that were possible to predict, this didn't detract from the novel at all which says quite a lot for the style of the piece. A group of children become sighted, or aware, and are therefore caught up in the politics and battles of the creatures they can now see. In many ways it reminded me of the Chronicles of Narnia, albeit that the plots are quite different, the style being similar. The Keeper and the Rune Stone is a story full of magic, mythology, and little twists and turns. This is the first book that I've had time to read in a while, life having taken over somewhat, and it was just what I needed. – I was given a copy of this book by the author in return for an honest review. Present days I'm pretty sure I would keep that hand, it's rather useful for things like turning pages or holding my kindle while I eat. I loved the gifts that being aware brought the children and would have given my left hand to have those abilities when I was younger. Honestly, my only drawback in the entire story was not knowing more of his background. ![]() My heart went out to him and I wanted to hug him and tell him everything would eventually be wonderful. My absolute favorite character in this book was Gunnr. It's been a pretty ordinary story up until now but then Jack finds a hidden opening to a cave and the adventure starts. Quickly falling in love with their new home, the four siblings decided to start exploring. Until they saw it on move-in day that is. She and her two brothers and sister aren't happy about this particular house and didn't really understand why their parents bought it. The story starts with Eleanor talking about their new home. Since it is only $3.00 for the kindle version you won't feel even the tightest pinch in your wallet for a book the entire family will love. ![]() Your teenagers will willingly put down the remote to whatever game they have and pick this up instead. It's a wonderful read for those of you with kids, I promise they will jump right in bed if promised a chapter of The Keeper and The Rune Stone each night. This is a book that you can read over and over and notice something new each time. Several things come to mind when thinking about this book. It doesn’t get scarier than the prologue, though, so if you’ve gotten through that with no trouble, the rest is smooth sailing. This is the kind of light, middle-grade fiction that will be torn through by hands eager to find out what happens next in the world of Eleanor and her brothers and sister.Ī note for parents: most of the novel is safely PG, but there are vampires (in this book they’re called noctivagi), and the bad-guy scenes are decently scary. There are negative elements within the world of magic, and now the Driscoll children are exposed to them – and must fight on the side of the good. Their indoctrination comes with the enhancement of the senses, though not actual superpowers – except for the reasonably fabulous ability to speak with animals.īut, of course, magic always comes with a price. More to the point, the children are quickly introduced to the world of magic. She begins her story with a reasonably awesome wish-fulfillment laundry list: the Driscoll family has moved into an enormous, beautiful mansion! And they get new computers! And bikes! And horses! Of course, they will have to do chores in order to maintain these last, because this is a family story. The Keeper and the Rune Stone is a charming, family-centric novel that takes the sweet earnestness of The Boxcar Children and maps high fantasy elements onto it.Įleanor Driscoll, our narrator, is a precocious, empathetic thirteen-year-old with two brothers and a younger sister. ![]()

Data backup solutions7/6/2023 ![]() ![]() We monitored data-transfer rates on the MacBook using GlassWire and CPU usage using Windows’ built-in Resource Monitor.Įach cloud backup service was tested individually and then uninstalled on both devices before the next test. Meanwhile, mobile apps were run on a Google Pixel XL 2 running Android 8.1 Oreo. Our testing and evaluation was done on a 15-inch Apple MacBook Pro running Windows 10. We also gave bonus points to the online backup services that let you mail in a hard drive full of data to start the process as well as those that send you a hard drive to restore your data. ![]() Upload speed also matters even though you only do your initial backup once, it can take days or even weeks if it’s several hundred gigabytes. ![]() We took several factors into consideration when testing the best cloud backup services: storage costs, ease of file restoration, computer-resource usage, unique features, ease of use and installation. How we test the best cloud backup services And Carbonite's appealing mobile apps are no longer available, with the company giving no timetable for their return. Multiple machines are supported on a single account, but there's no volume discount - each additional machine costs as much as the first. To get those functions, you'll have to trade up to the Plus or Premium plans, which have features similar to IDrive or Backblaze's basic plans but cost much more. (Carbonite has temporarily slashed prices by 30%, bringing costs a bit closer to those of its rivals.) It also has an intuitive user interface that shows you which files have been fully, partly or not backed up.īut you'd better read the fine print, as Carbonite doesn't automatically back up large files, external drives, or any kind of video file on its Basic pricing tier. Read our full CrashPlan for Small Business review.Ĭarbonite offers unlimited storage, which is always nice to have in one of the best cloud backup services. CrashPlan for Small Business also consumes a fair amount of system resources during backups, but you can adjust the application settings to reduce that. The mobile apps have great security but are pretty bare-bones. What you won't get are the consumer-friendly features that made CrashPlan for Home so appealing, such as drive shipping and mobile-device backups. And you get unlimited backup space for unlimited devices as long as you're willing to pay $10 per month per computer. CrashPlan supports full-drive-image backups to local drives and backs up Linux/macOS-formatted networked drives. Its plan for small businesses retains that service's very fast upload and download speeds, and adds business-friendly features such as support for Red Hat and Ubuntu Linux and unlimited (if you want) retention of old versions of files.Īlmost everything is customizable, including frequency of backups, retention of deleted files, account security and where to download restored files. ![]() Top 3 best cloud backup solutionsĬrashPlan had the best cloud backup service for consumers until it quit the market in 2017. Each of the cloud backup services we’ve thoroughly tested and reviewed uses industry-standard encryption on their servers to protect your data but you can also use your own private key instead. Cloud backup services provide the same peace of mind for consumers. This is why many small businesses utilize “off-site” backups to minimize the threat of physical disasters. Even with one of the best external hard drives hooked up to your computer or as a stand-alone backup device on your home network, it could still be stolen or damaged in a flood or fire, leaving you with nothing. Each of these services constantly copies data back and forth from your computer to cloud servers elsewhere in the world which can easily be reached from anywhere with internet access.Ĭloud backup is a necessary thing to have as you can’t always rely on local backup drives to protect your data. The best cloud backup solutions can help protect you from dealing with data loss since you always have an extra copy of your most important files stored securely in the cloud. ![]()

Face water splash gif7/6/2023 ![]() Furthermore, they usually change their shape at will, pass through anything that is not watertight and hit with concentrated blasts of their own mass. Beating them can be tough as bullets and fists can simply punch through them to no effect while energy weapons' beams can be scattered through the substance. There are also beings like Marvel Comics' Hydro-Man and Darkwing Duck's Liquidator, who are sentient masses of water. It's very rarely addressed that they could just sap the water directly from a person's body, killing or weakening them instantly, but this could be an issue of dramatic license since that would result in some very short and uninteresting fight scenes. Not a problem in a modern city if they can affect underground plumbing, but if it's not raining and they're nowhere near a source of water, they might be screwed. Water always, always, always wins.Ĭombined with the other elements, water has additional effects: fire can boil or steam, earth can create mudslides, and air can create mists, dew, or storms.Ī water controller's biggest weakness is that they usually must be in the vicinity of water to be effective. The mountain stands tall and proud, but the sea will eventually grind it to sand. Water extinguishes fire, smothers air, and erodes earth. Many philosophers, like Lao Tzu above, wax poetic far beyond Sesquipedalian Loquaciousness about how nothing in the world is weaker and more malleable than water, and yet water wears away the hard and strong. Use it to kill someone! (Although in many cases, water is used as a healing element.) And no, we don't use that water to heal someone, that's for the White Mage. Flood 'em, drown 'em, frost 'em, steam 'em, wash 'em, whatever.

Dumbo loft7/6/2023 ![]() In the mid-2000s, the Landmarks Preservation Commission started the process of creating a Landmark District in Dumbo, and the Walentases backed it then. Dumbo has a lot of retail that is still local-retail that serves people who live there. It’s not like SoHo where you have block after block of boutiques, and the whole thing sometimes feels like a mall without a roof. It’s interesting that Dumbo does not have a huge amount of destination shopping, for example. ![]() Walentas wanted Dumbo to be successful, but he did not want Dumbo to precisely follow the model of SoHo. While it’s true that Dumbo was started by artists who came as squatters living illegally in lofts the way they did in SoHo, instead of trying to throw them out at the beginning, Walentas actually tried to bring in more.Īnd then they gave long-term leases to certain nonprofit galleries and other organizations to ensure they wouldn’t be priced out. First, he seeded the neighborhood by giving arts organizations, galleries, theatre companies, and so forth space-for free or very cheap. ![]() He knew how important arts and culture were to creating neighborhoods. ![]() Here we come back to David Walentas and the fact that he was not only more patient than most real estate developers he was smarter than most real estate developers. Although both neighborhoods have experienced gentrification-making them less livable for the artists who once occupied them-Dumbo was able to retain its artistic community much longer than SoHo. You draw a lot of comparisons between SoHo and Dumbo. What I meant by that remark is that you see in this place-which is really only a few blocks-the whole arc of American cities: starting out as a little village, then industrialization of the waterfront, then abandonment and difficulty and struggle, and then renewal where people live with a recreational waterfront. You write that “Dumbo is a metaphor for the rediscovery of the American downtown.” What did you mean? Real estate isn’t always full of interesting stories. It almost fell apart so many times, and he just kept struggling with it. One guy sort of discovers it and turns it into a neighborhood over a whole generation-the story of David Walentas getting it and imagining what it could be and then having the patience to see it through. The other thing about it is that it’s just such an interesting story. I love the idea of this place that, in some ways, seems so intensely New York, and yet it’s different from any other place in New York. I love the combination of dense industrial urbanity and the beautiful waterfront and the bridges. I’ve never lived there, but I’ve always thought it was a wonderful place. ![]() He credits Walentas’s intuition, vision, and patience for creating a neighborhood that, today, is a chorus of small businesses, cultural attractions, and dazzling residential real estate. In the new book from Rizzoli, DUMBO: The Making of a Neighborhood and the Rebirth of Brooklyn, the architecture critic Paul Goldberger outlines the enclave’s reinvention-from 1700s village to industrial waterfront to one of Brooklyn’s priciest residential neighborhoods-alongside an array of archival and modern drawings and photographs. In the late 1970s, when Walentas first crossed the Brooklyn Bridge into the former hub of industry, Dumbo-named by residents in 1978 after an acronym for Down Under the Manhattan Bridge Overpass-was desolate, save for a few remaining businesses that had resisted the area’s deindustrialization, as well as the artists who moved into those high-ceilinged former workspaces. It’s also synonymous with Walentas, who, along with his wife, Jane, and son, Jed, has spent the past four decades coaxing Dumbo into a place to “Live, Work & Play,” per Jane’s early motto for the neighborhood. Their vows brought everyone in the room to tears (even me and the bartender) and the celebration was a lighthearted event on a Sunday in August.Today, the picturesque Brooklyn waterfront enclave is known for its ritzy real estate, cultural attractions, and Instagram-famous vistas. One of the sweetest details was that they had two aisles, so they could walk towards one another equally, as they do in life. Shani built the circular floral arrangement that hung behind them for the ceremony herself, and her mother and sister designed and made the pants/overskirt combo. These two creatives brought their minds together to create their own wedding that was both a reflection of their partnership and their beloved city of Brooklyn. Shani is an actor and photographer, while Emily is a school teacher. We immediately hit it off, and when they reached out a few years later to photograph their wedding at DUMBO Loft on 155 Water Street in Brooklyn…it felt like everything had just come full circle. Shani and Emily were one of the first couples I ever photographed when I began my wedding photography career, after answering a model call they saw on social media. ![]()
