Because a billion years from now, mountain building and erosion will have destroyed everything on the Earth, but this plaque will remain intact." That we could build anything that lasts that long is worth celebrating, especially something offering peace and goodwill, whatever its limitations.Independent developer Space Enigma Studios launched a Kickstarter project over the weekend, in pursuit of crowdfunding for Space Pioneer, an ambitious sci-fi exploration game for PC, Linux DRM-free. Regardless, Sagan predicted that the plaques will "be the oldest artifact of mankind. Initial drawings gave the man an afro haircut to show a panracial view of humanity, but that was erased to give the man what was described as a ""non-African Mediterranean-curly haircut." An editorial cartoon at the time, as described in the book Captured by Aliens, gave the man a speech bubble saying "Hi, we're from Orange County." Some took issue with the man leading the greeting of humanity with a passive woman by his side, and Sagan himself regretted how white the people look. Linda Sagan's initial drawing including a line depicting a woman's vulva, which was erased by NASA higher-ups (the woman has no genitalia). Sagan's plan to depict naked humans was highly controversial. It shows a naked man and woman, hydrogen, the most common element in the universe, a portrayal of our solar system, Earth's relative position in the galaxy, and a silhouette of the Pioneer craft. So I set out to make a replica for myself."īased on Sagan's design, the plaque attempts to get across a few basic facts about Earth. "Put simply," King says on his Kickstarter, "the plaque is an expression of the vision and adventurous spirit that defines humanity at its best, and working with the plaque has been a lifelong dream of mine. The person behind the Kickstarter, Duane King, was inspired by Sagan's legendary Cosmos: A Personal Journey, which aired eight years after Pioneer 10's launch. ![]() Now there's a Kickstarter offering exact replicas, and just in time for the 45th anniversary of Pioneer 10's launch. When Pioneer 10 and Pioneer 11 went to the skies in the early 70's, they carried with them gold plaques attempting to explain humanity to an alien race designed by one of the best teachers in species history, Carl Sagan. ![]() All messages whose direct destination is the same queue manager can be put on the same transmission queue, and the ultimate destination of these messages may not be the same.

The official system requirements state that it works with Windows Server and Windows 11, 10, 8, 7, Vista, and XP. We like Revo Uninstaller, but because there's also a professional version, it lacks a handful of the same features you'll find in some other uninstaller tools from this list, like removing partially uninstalled applications and support for batch removals. Also, there's a junk file cleaner and privacy cleaner included, among other extra tools. You can then delete some or all of the leftover items.Īutomatic restore point creation is a big plus. When uninstalling a program with Revo Uninstaller, you can run it in advanced mode, which scans the file system and registry for leftover items that are no longer needed but didn't get properly uninstalled with the built-in uninstaller. You can uninstall the software, view its installation folder, kill the process, and even stop it from running at startup using this mode. Hunter Mode is a unique feature that lets you manipulate a program by simply selecting its open window. Revo Uninstaller is another software uninstaller program that has both a regular installable version and a portable one. It runs on Windows 11, 10, 8, 7, and older Windows versions, and you can use it in both private and commercial settings.Ĭan't delete partially uninstalled programs Check out the BCU Documentation page if you need help. This is a wonderful program removal utility if you take the time to appreciate all the options it offers.

(( Tip! - You can include other columns and PsychoPy will record this data with each repetition in the output.Questions (Please note that there are two parts in this question: Part a and b) 1. Since we’re randomizing the words, the order of the rows does not matter. For each of the values of word, we’ll pick the corresponding correctAns: real words = 4 and fake words = 2. Open an excel document (or csv formatted text file) and make two columns: word and correctAns. Right now our PsychoPy experiment has no information about what to use when filling the variables, so we’ll have to give it that information. Make sure to use a button box for your actual experiment! However, you cannot capture reliable reaction time data with these inputs because of their inherent latency. NOTE: If you don’t have access to the button boxes in the lab, you can use a keyboard or mouse component instead for testing purposes. To do this, check the “Store correct” box and add “$rrectAns” to the Correct Answer $ field. We also want to store information about whether or not the participant responded correctly. Make sure that “Force end of routine” is checked. On our button boxes, 2 references the red button and 4 references the green button. Change Stop – duration (s) field to blank and change the Allowed keys $ field to “2,4”. Next, we’ll add a Cedrus Button Box component to measure the response time (Make sure you’ve followed the instructions for adding the Button Box extension if you’re running it for the first time!). Strings beginning with a “$” are variables and since we’ve changed “constant” to “set every repeat”, the variable will be updated every repeat. The important step in this process is to add “$word” to the text field and change the “constant” in the drop-down window beside the text field to “set every repeat”. In the trial routine, add a text component with a blank stop duration. This is the template that each of the individual repetitions will be made from. Instead, we’ll utilize loops.įirst, we’ll make the baseline routine which we’ll call “trial”. ![]() In theory we could randomize the list ourselves and then create individual routines for each word, but that would quickly become tedious and not easily replicable. Let’s also imagine that we only have 10 test words: 5 real (blue, green, yellow, red, orange) and 5 fake (thorpt, rairn, coan, flatch, meeg). In most cases, the task of reacting to the fake words is actually a ruse, and what the investigator is interested in is actually the differences in response time among the real world stimuli.įor the current example, let’s just imagine that we’re only interested in the difference between reaction time for the real and fake words. In a lexical decision task, participants are often presented written word stimuli and asked to determine if they are real words or fake words. ![]() Next we’ll discuss using loops and trials with a practical example by making a lexical decision task. ![]() ![]() According to Olivia Wilde, the show is "the coolest, sexiest, most mind-blowing thing ever done in New York. The website is packed with quotes from famous people, cooing enthusiastically. The New York critics are raving about it too, with Ben Brantley gushing that it was "a voyeur's delight". An immense weight of creative talent transformed the once abandoned warehouse into The McKittrick Hotel.This reworking of Macbeth, which opened at The McKittrick Hotel back in March 2011, is an undoubted commercial hit. Emursive, formed to execute the New York location of London based Punchdrunk’s theatrical impetus, Sleep No More. The Club Car, and the Manderley Bar serve as themed event venues with their own entertainment lineup and with atmospheric context that matches The Mckittrick’s overall vibe. The Hotel is also home to a rooftop restaurant, Gallow Green. One-on-one’s allow the story to take on a different dimension for those lucky enough to be picked. Certain scenes aren’t designed for a train of guests positioning for the best view. Reports from the front lines of Immersion Nation are saying that performers will select audiences members for one-on-one experiences based on body language, amongst other things. You can let the show drift away while you explore the veritable labrinth that frames this otherworldly drama. The set, however, is indescribably detailed. Mostly passive in relation to the actors, occasionally a lucky audience member will be selected to help dispose of a body or to participate in a one-on-one. Within the revolution of immersive entertainment, Sleep No More is a pioneering performance. There is no off stage and the story is told through dance and motion rather than dialogue, performers have to maintain a nearly superhuman level of physical health. The 3 hour long show is grueling for the actors. In high energy scenes actors have a split second to choose where to position the action both for the audience and for the safety of those performing punishing stunts. You’re given a white mask that helps you -and the performers- differentiate between those observing and those acting. ![]() Actors have different paths they follow through the hotel as the story proceeds. The show does not happen in one place but rather… When you walk in you’ll want to find actors to follow as their performance moves. These are the instructions given to participants upon entering Sleep No More. Three rules for the show: No talking, No phones, No removing your mask. Taking place through the entirety of the 100,000 square feet McKittrick Hotel set, actors sprint across rooms and tumble down stairs as the audience rushes to follow. In New York, a cast of high caliber dancers create a silent, noir-esq rendition of the classic work. What is Sleep No More?Īn Immersive performance of Shakespeare’s Macbeth. Sleep No More puts you physically inside the raw ferocity Shakespeare’s creativity. You wonder what it was like inside his head. There is a certain awe that comes in your first glimpse of the brilliance in his work. Audiences are wrapped into stories that are, hundreds of years later, still eerily relatable. Generations have revered the line of dramatic masterpieces. ![]() It's ultimately an extremely shallow game, with lavish production values failing to mask just how rushed and unambitious it feels.Īfter the imaginative, tradition-defying Resident Evil 7, and the sublimely polished, playable Resident Evil 2, this is a massive leap backwards for the series. There's nothing wrong with a short game, but the pacing here feels off, like it's hurriedly shoving you to the next location just as you're starting to get comfortable-and before its ideas get a chance to fully form. Resident Evil 3 rarely gives you a chance to soak anything in before it fast-tracks you to the next story beat.

It's baffling. You don't even have as many ways to deal with them, thanks to the removal of the system from Resident Evil 2 where you board up windows with planks of wood to manage the flow. This reduced fidelity may be a trade-off for having more zombies on screen, but it wasn't worth it. At least the shotgun still packs a punch. They hardly react to the limp, rattly assault rifle (a new weapon), and even popping them with a pistol has less of the crunchy feedback that made Resident Evil 2's combat so enjoyable. ![]() It's like the physics that govern them have been severely reduced, or removed altogether. ![]() But here they seem strangely disconnected from their surroundings, and shooting them just doesn't feel as satisfying. Its undead were brilliantly physical and clumsy, tripping over each other, tumbling down stairs, flopping into comical ragdoll heaps. We'll have more on this when the game goes live and the servers are populated.īut man, what happened to the combat? One of the most surprising things about the Resident Evil 2 remake was how it made slow, shambling zombies exciting again. Resident Evil 3 comes with a 4v1 multiplayer mode called Resistance, where a group of players are tormented by a player-controlled 'mastermind' who lays traps and other obstacles for them. There are a few fun set-pieces in here too, including a fraught, chaotic siege straight out of a classic zombie movie, and a darkly hilarious homage to Raiders of the Lost Ark's boulder chase. The story takes place 24 hours before Leon and Claire arrive in Raccoon City, and you'll witness events that provide additional backstory to stuff you saw in the previous game-including how Marvin ended up bleeding all over the lobby of the police station. I do like the way it connects to Resident Evil 2, though. You're frequently funnelled down a prescribed path to the next cutscene, and it doesn't help that the story is lean to the point of nonexistence, with one-dimensional characters and a narrative through-line so flimsy I kept forgetting what I was doing or why. But Resident Evil 3 has none of this, and is actually stiflingly linear. Resident Evil is best when you're lost in a complex, labyrinthine space, forced to make a mental map as you play, unlocking more of the sprawl by solving puzzles and finding keys.
