![]() Brian Grazer, Brett Ratner and Eddie Murphy were in no rush, however, as they wanted to make sure that the project was tonally perfect. Naturally, everything that could possibly go wrong with their ill-conceived plans did."įrom inception to the first day of principal photography, it would take almost five years before the film would fire on all cylinders. His idea was that the story would follow a group of disgruntled employees in a building like the Trump Tower who seize their chance and plan a robbery. He wanted to create a movie with characters that were not the cool, slick guys. In 2005, he pitched an idea to Brett Ratner and me to develop a film with a number of comedians playing guys who were down on their luck, the genesis of Tower Heist. The producer shares how the project began: "Eddie Murphy and I have worked with one another since we filmed Boomerang in the early '90s. Oscar®-winning producer Brian Grazer is one of a handful of filmmakers with the intuitive ability to pair Brett Ratner, the action-savvy director with a string of box-office hits to his name, and a high-profile cast led by comedy superstars Ben Stiller and Eddie Murphy to deliver Tower Heist, an action-comedy that scales new heights. Website: About the Production Plotting the Heist: The Project Begins Turns out they've been casing the place for years, they just didn't know it. Though amateurs, these rookie thieves know the building better than anyone. With only days before Arthur gets away with the perfect crime, Josh's crew turns to petty crook Slide (Murphy) to plan the nearly impossible…to steal what they are sure is hidden in Arthur's guarded condo. The hardest hit among those he defrauded? The tower staffers whose pensions he was entrusted to manage. In the swankiest unit atop Josh's building, Wall Street titan Arthur Shaw (Alan Alda) is under house arrest after being caught stealing two billion from his investors. Under his watchful eye, nothing goes undetected. Queens native Josh Kovacs (Stiller) has managed one of the most luxurious and well-secured residences in New York City for more than a decade. ![]() After the workers at a luxury Central Park condominium discover the penthouse billionaire has stolen their retirement, they plot the ultimate revenge: a heist to reclaim what he took from them. Synopsis: Ben Stiller and Eddie Murphy lead an all-star cast in Tower Heist, a comedy caper about working stiffs who seek revenge on the Wall Street swindler who stiffed them.

The aim of this systematic review was to examine nurses' occupational physical activity levels, and explore how nurses accumulate their physical activity during a shift. Although nurses are the largest healthcare workforce, are present 24-hours a day, and engage in many physically demanding tasks, nurses' occupational physical activity levels are poorly understood. Nurses' physical performance at work has implications both for nurses' occupational health and patient care. ![]() ![]() ![]() We are part of a team committed to offering deep dives into the events and actions that define and affect us. Some of the names I read from afar - Steve Pokin, Jackie Rehwald, Rance Burger, Jeff Kessinger - are co-workers now. I’m thrilled to return to Springfield, working for a rising news agency that puts a high value on quality reporting. I worked with some of the best in the business over there, learning a lot about what it means to be a reporter in a city where I was absolutely assured of bumping into people at social events whom I quoted for work. Starting in 2006, I worked as a page designer, education reporter, general reporter, features editor and finished as digital editor. That prepared me for an incredible career with the Globe. That launched a career that took me to Nixa, where I became the editor of the Nixa News-Enterprise, a sister to the Christian County Headliner News. I received one of the greatest educations in journalism from founders Ron Davis and Mike Wingo. The company that owned the station also owned a magazine named 417. That job and that radio station are responsible for where I am now. And I occasionally worked Sunday nights on air at a Top 40 radio station nicknamed “Hot 106.7,” back when Smashmouth’s “All Star” was a new song. If I recall correctly, that was Springfield’s first Starbucks. I was the newsstand manager at Barnes and Noble when we moved into its current standalone location. I had a great apartment on Elm Street while attending Missouri State University. I graduated from Kickapoo High School in ’91, about 10 years after Brad Pitt and 10 years before those really cool “Fear the ‘Poo” T-shirts (might try to get one of those now). ![]() Good on TV after school, walking home from Disney Elementary. I grew up in the Queen City of the Ozarks. ![]() This move to Springfield won’t be too much of an adjustment for me, however. ![]() ![]() I do this because the FCP auto-backups (good as they are) aren't adjustable in terms of frequency. I rename each one and therefore keep a history of library state at various points. If you want a separate physical backup, those are small and quick to backup.Īs I work on large projects I periodically use Finder to duplicate the current library bundle and back that up to external storage. If open it could easy be changing due to background tasks or some other reason - while you are copying it.įCP itself knows when it's safe to make library backups, so the small backups in /Movies/Final Cut Backups are securely done and consistent with current database state. A library looks like a monolithic entity but internally it's a very complex folder tree. However this allows copying files & folder trees while they may be changing. That's why you never get a "file in use" error on MacOS like on Windows. Unix-heritage file systems do not have mandatory file locking only advisory locking. Re copying the library, that should ideally be done while FCP is shut down. This procedure is discussed in Ripple Training's media management tutorial. That keeps the library itself small and easy to back up. If regular media is imported using "Leave Files in Place", only generated proxies and optimized media will be placed in the designated storage locations. That's done using the library inspector via Storage Locations>Modify Settings>Cache.Ī similar procedure can be used to keep proxies outside the library: Storage Locations>Modify Settings>Media. For reasons of performance and ease of library backup, it's best to have the render cache placed external to the library. They are potentially large, discardable items. In general you don't want render files placed within the library, much less back them up. Whats interesting is if one render file changes in the Library does CCC recognise this, and does it copy the whole Library across (I think we want it to?) or just the changed file. ![]() I'll give it a shot on our next documentary (with appropriate backups in place first) to see if it successfully manages all the versioning, roles, audio mixes and edits. Tested this on an iMac Pro running Big Sur 11.2.3 and latest CCC. ![]() Have no idea why, in the past, the destination folder showed the FCP package contents of the library only and not the purple library icon. I opened the libraries and they had all the content intact including all edits and video inspector adjustments. Ran the task and now observed the complete library file (purple icon) for each library. This time it worked! I tried the same thing I tried numerous times in the past - Created a folder (FCP Library Backups) for the destination, then created a test folder (Test) where I placed a couple FCP libraries with a few projects, some quick edits, plugins applied to a few clips, etc. UPDATE - I was about to launch a support ticket thru CCC and decided I would try one more time to create a task that would copy FCP libraries. Since you can dissect your backups to your like, Chronosync doesn’t eat up your RAM. ![]() Best of all, you will never feel the pressure on your mac. You can tell it to backup individual folders just once in a day (say the FCPX Cache folder) while versioning the most active, working folder, Projects files, every X minutes. One Carbon Copy Cloner is slow very slow and as the App title stats it is a cloner.Ĭarbon Copy Cloner is not really useful to keep track of changes in a file.ĬhronoSync on the other hand is an all-in-one app with tools for synchronizing, backups, bootable backups and cloud storage backups.Ĭhronosyc allows a more fine-tuned backup and versioning. I have used both and I strongly recommend ChronoSync. ![]() Old thread but maybe someone else has the same question. From just playing with their demos for a few days they both seem to have their pluses and minuses but wonder about real world experience backing up the FCPX, Motion, Logic, Aperture and Lightroom files that we us in projects. I was wondering if there was any advantage to using Carbon Copy Cloner or ChronoSync. I've just changed our backup strategy on one of our machines from Time Machine and Backups for FCPX to just Time Machine for the system files and am thinking of using either ChronoSync or Carbon Copy Cloner plus Backups for FCPX for the production drives. ![]() ![]() By writing her thoughts and feelings about her grief experience, she is spreading hope to those that seek answers after loss. ![]() Her mother noticed early on that she was a very talented writer and is wasn’t until after her mother passed that Chelsea decided to do exactly that – write and make her mom proud.

If you unplug the DualShock 3 and it doesn't work, check out the Bluetooth troubleshooting section of the walkthrough, and make sure your version of Bluetooth is supported. And pairing it via USB should automatically pair it via Bluetooth, too! Once you've followed the installation instructions for DsHidMini above, your PS3 controller should be working fine via a wired USB connection. If you're planning to use your DualShock 3 with Steam or the RPCS3 emulator, use SXS mode. "The advantage of this mode is a 100% compatibility with all unmodified versions of PCSX2 with the LilyPad gamepad plugin (shipped by default)," writes developer Nefarius. In the DsHidMini Control software, make sure your controller is set to SDF mode (Single Device with Force Feedback). Now for the most important step: getting those sweet analog buttons working. How to use the DualShock 3's pressure-sensitive buttons in PCSX2 If you run into any issues, follow the troubleshooting guide here. Right-click and run DSHMC.exe as Administrator.Right-click on igfilter.inf and hit "Install" from the context menu.Right-click the dshidmi.inf file and hit "Install" from the context menu.There are only a few steps, so I'll bullet point them here to make sure you don't miss any: Move the slider all the way up to "Always notify" and click OK.įollow the rest of the installation instructions from DsHidMini's developer here.

If you want Bluetooth support for your DualShock 3, first download and install BthPS3Setup_圆4.msi from the project's Github here. To get started, do not plug your DualShock 3 in yet. Check this troubleshooting guide for help on removing those files before you begin the installation process. Note: If you've previously installed ScpToolkit on your system or ever used Sony's PSNow streaming service, you may have some leftover files that will interfere with DsHidMini. It's completely usable right now, but as of early 2023 has a new release on the way with even more features. The developer of ScpToolkit sunset the project in 2016, but has since followed it up with the new DsHidMini, a DualShock 3 controller driver specifically built for Windows 10 and 11. For years the go-to solution was ScpToolkit, a free, open source tool that did the job but was a bit of a beast to setup. And if you want to play non-Steam games with the controller, you can add them to Steam with the "Games > Add a non-Steam game to my library" menu.īut presumably you're here because you want to get those analog face buttons working. If you plug the controller in with Steam running, you can then go to Settings > Controller > Desktop Configuration to customize your controls as you see fit.

Many hybrid titles exist that feature both action and adventure, and even RPG elements, these titles are known under a different category altogether: Action-Adventure Games and RPG-Adventure Games respectively. Although it is confusing to a degree, it is best to note that the Adventure genre is distinct from RPGs, as the former lacks the emphasis on combat, resulting in the absence of numeric mechanics, skill systems, and other factors. In this genre, the player assumes the role of the story's protagonist, who is usually the hero of the story and features collection or manipulation of various objects and items that will assist in the journey or quest. Today, this genre is defined to have elements of puzzle-solving, problem-solving, narrative story-telling or interactive story, and exploration. JustAdventures, and AdventureGamers are two of the most popular sites dedicated to the discussion and review of the myriad of titles falling into this genre. Colossal Cave Adventure, more commonly known simply as "Adventure", pioneered a playstyle that was so unique during that time that it was imitated countless times and thus creating its own genre that we now know. In that classic title, the player is tasked with two things finding the hidden wealth inside a mysterious cave, and going back out alive. The genre that we now know as "Adventure Game" originated from the classic text-based computer software called Colossal Cave Adventure that was developed back in 1975. Unlike literary and film where genres are defined by the target audience, in Video-Games genres are defined by its gameplay. ![]() ![]() The Kazungula Bridge will become a key transit route for these materials at a time when countries worldwide are trying to safeguard access to key raw materials.

The HaveID3 method determines if file contains ID3v1. This method first defines a FileStream to a file and tries to find out if the file contains ID3 data. To load ID3v1 you must use the ' Load()' method. If the programmer wanted to load ID3v1 data in the constructor (With LoadData argument), otherwise load sets information to "". In the constructor, set the _FilePath variable to the path of the file. There's another variable that allows the ID3Info class to know if the current file must contain ID3v1. For example, _Comment does not allow comments to be more than 28 characters. There are some properties for each variable and they check the limitations of ID3v1. The variables in this class hold ID3v1 data. ID3v1 class, in ID3.ID3v1Frames namespace handles ID3v1 jobs. ID3Info returns Genre number not Genre name.Īs you can see, there's nothing complex in ID3v1.
