![]() For example, imagine you prepare a Boolean search like this: For more detailed search strings, you’ll need to use brackets to help the database understand precisely what you want. PARENTHESIS (): Think of parenthesis as a way to cluster similar pieces of information. So, if you were searching for a CEO named John Jones, putting quotation marks around his name, “John Jones”, will only return results that have his first and last name together, versus results with only John or only Jones but not both together. When you put quotation marks around two or more words, you tell the database to only return results that include those words together. QUOTATION MARKS “”: This one is straightforward. Sticking with our example, you may want content that mentions your CEO but that doesn’t mention the other. NOT: When you insert a “NOT” into your search string, you’re telling Newsdesk to ignore those results including one or more terms. Again, this may initially feel counter intuitive, as we are accustomed to thinking of “or” as a means of reduction (e.g., “I will travel to Spain or China.”) But in Boolean, “or” is the way to ask the database to return results that include either “x” or “y.” So in the example above, using “OR” instead of “AND” will return content that mentions both CEOs or just one of them. OR: Using “or” in your search string broadens your search to include more results. ![]() For instance, you may want content that mentions your CEO and a specific competitor’s CEO, but without wanting any results that mention one CEO but not the other. This may at first sound counter intuitive because we typically think of “and” as adding to, not taking away (e.g, “I like cream and sugar in my coffee.”) But, when we use “AND” in your search, you’re asking the Newsdesk database to return only those results that include both terms. Boole to make your search more precise.What’s more, within any one search string, you can use these five elements as much as you want! Doing so will add ever more layers of specificity and, therefore, precision.ĪND: When you include one or more “AND’s” in your Newsdesk Boolean search string, you will receive fewer results. When one or more of these are added to your search string, you’re tapping into the brilliance of Mr. The Five Keys to the Boolean Kingdomīasic Boolean searching is based on five terms and symbols. This is the sort specificity Boolean will lend your Newsdesk searching. Or those flowers that are taller than ten inches, have three stems and are blue or yellow but not both. Or those that have four or five petals but not three or six. Now imagine that there was a way to identify, say, only those flowers that are red and yellow. Imagine that you’re standing before a giant field of wildflowers of virtually every imaginable type and color combination. Now, forget all the math and logic stuff for a bit and, instead, think of Boolean searching as a way to cut out all that you don’t want in a search-in order to get exactly what you do want. Thanks, George! One Way to Think About Boolean Searching About That Weird Name…īoolean search, a term used for searching databases of all types, is named after George Boole, a 19 th century English mathematician and all-around smart guy-so smart, in fact, he wrote a book called “The Laws of Thought.” Now that’s some heady stuff.He also created a type of logic in which all the variables are either “yes” or “no, or “true” or “false.” This laid the foundations for what would be the logic underpinning the computer revolution and the information age. It can seem intimidating at first, beginning with its strange-sounding name, but fear not! The basics of Boolean search are actually easy to grasp and use-adding some power to your media intelligence capabilities. That’s when Boolean Search comes in handy. But sometimes, you need to go deeper, to get more specific results. ![]() One of the best features of Nexis Newsdesk™ is its Simple Search feature, providing you quick intelligence on companies, people and other topics that you need to monitor.

Her enormous breasts and baby doll voice embodied the '50s American male's fantasy of female sexuality: curvaceous, flirtatious and grateful for a man's - any man's - attention. "The working man's Monroe,"they called her. From 1955 until the early '60s, Mansfield reigned as Hollywood's gaudiest, boldest D-cupped B-grade actress. More than 40 years before consultant guru Tom Peters spoke of the free-agent movement and business magazine Fast Company wrote of the "The Brand Called You," Vera Jane Palmer of Dallas had grasped self-promotion's essential points to fashion herself into the hottest dish in the Cold War. Her reaction, absurd, even pathetic to the post-feminist ear, was pure Mansfield. In 1967, several months before actress Jayne Mansfield drove into a cloud of insecticide to meet her destiny, a London newspaper took the full measure of the movie star and found her breasts to be 2 inches larger than the 44 inches she was then claiming for them. ![]() When the event that gave players an increased chance to find one was active, I was finding them very frequently in this area, and even before it, it seemed to be a good place to find them.

It’s important to note that watchOS isn’t an option in the public beta program. I plan to run it on an iPad and Apple TV. New public betas for iOS 16, iPadOS 16, macOS Ventura, tvOS 16, HomePod software version 16 and watchOS 9 are coming soon. We’ll be taking a closer look at some of them after the new OSes are made available. With WWDC 2022 scheduled to start next week, it’s likely that iOS 15.6 will be the final. Use of pre-release software is strictly confidential. Apple rolled out iOS 15.6 beta 2 and iPadOS 15.6 beta 2 on Tuesday, May 31st. Your feedback about your experience with our products will impact Apples future success. With your help, we can test in many different environments. Those fears were unfounded, as this weeks iOS 15.4 Public Beta 1 has some long-awaited features as well as a few unexpected surprises. Whichever OS you’re trying out, you’ll need to enroll your device first and there is a guide provided for each system that walks you through the installation process. Apples latest iPhone software update, iOS 15.5, brings a small handful of new features and updates to your iPhone. We want to collect feedback from our customers to improve the overall quality of our products. After you’re in, keep checking back to see when the new version is available. Then you need to accept the terms of the beta software agreement. If you have two-factor authentication enabled, you will, of course, need take the extra step to verify you’re you. To get started, head to and sign in with your Apple ID. How to Join Apple Public Beta Testing Program For Mac, the situation is a bit worse, it varies, but in general, it will not run on a Mac is older than 2012. Information that is emailed to the developer directly is not shared. When you test beta apps or beta App Clips with TestFlight, Apple will collect and send crash logs, your personal information such as name and email address, usage information, and any feedback you submit to the developer. If you have an old 4 th gen iPod touch laying around, well, that’s just not going to work. Testing beta App Clips (iOS or iPadOS 14, or later). What’s compatible? Well, Apple says any device that can currently run “xOS 11” will work with 12. So, you’ll want to run this on a spare compatible iPad, iPhone, Mac, or Apple TV. This helps the company work out the kinks before finalizing the OS and rolling it out to the public. Which is the nature of the program - so users can report bugs and the developer team can work on fixes. Typically, beta versions of any software are incomplete and buggy. Method 3: Install the iOS 13.6 Developer Beta (Mojave Restore Image) While there is a configuration profile that can be installed, if you want a clean transition to iOS 13.6 dev beta or higher, you can still use restore images. Apple today seeded the third betas of upcoming iOS 15.6 and iPadOS 15.6 updates to developers for testing purposes, with the new software coming two weeks after the release of the second beta. Just like with Microsoft’s Insider Program, you don’t want to put these beta builds on the main devices that you use every day. ![]() Some Reapers of American descent called it roast beast, flashing back to their prewar Dr. Properly seasoned and prepared, however, Muton meat was remarkably tender and tasty.

Can XCOM unite the resistance factions under its direction to counter this new deadly threat? Or will the alien escalation finally sweep away the last dogged defenders of human civilization? In response, the alien Elders have unleashed a lethal and terrifying new infiltration team called The Chosen. Other factions operate more overtly, some with mysterious and unsettling capabilities.

I think there are several things that aren't crazy hard fixes to improve gameplay drastically. ![]() Let me know what you think and/or what you think would be best!! Furthermore, exclusive skins and emblems should be given for reaching each individual rank to further increase players win incentive! A ranking system like this really would give players such a high win incentive, so most players would be playing the game as it should be. It also means that gradually people will go up ranks the more they play, so there isn't the unpleasant rage behind grinding so hard only to go down by some bs like a laggy game or random glitch. This ranking system puts all of the emphasis on trying to WIN whilst also accommodating to people wanting to just fight. Grand-master would consist of the top 50 (depends how big player base is) players in Master based on the average points in the last 25 games with games expiring after 10 days so you cant go really well and simply not play to stay in grand-master, blocking your position to others. Kill=5 points, every kill above 8 in a single game is double ![]() Now, for what i think would be a great ranking system:Īll ranks start fresh at the beginning of a new season Since the aim of a battle royale is to survive and not to kill. One may argue, as an extreme example, that coming second place with 90 kills is better than coming first with one kill, even though the person who had one kill technically won and was better in that game. Battle Royale's have a tough gig with this issue, because a ranking system needs to reflect winning, but also killing players along the way. Personally, I think win incentive in a game is vital and can turn a game that may not be incredible, to something you want to grind day in day out to go up ranks so you can be higher than everyone else, unlock rewards etc. This link explains the current ranking system ( ). Currently (19/Dec/18) Rankings are not working on console (PS4 I know for sure so assume the same with XB1). ![]() Thought i should make a thread to throw around some ideas on what everyone thinks would be an ideal ranking system for Realm Royale/Battle Royales in general. Typically, the larger the home the greater the square foot pricing.ģ) Heat-based termite extermination typically runs $1 per square footage of the house, and requires tenting the home.Ĥ) Fumigation also requires tenting of the home, and is typically priced out at $1 to $2 per square foot home size. Slab foundations also increase the price.Ģ) Baiting prices start at around $1,500 for a 1300-square foot home. ![]() Lay of the land plays some role in setting the lower or upper price gage. Tools and products used during the initial process may involve bait, chemicals, electricity, heat, microwaves and fumigating with lethal gas.ġ) Chemical Extermination: Typically, chemical extermination prices out at $9 to $17 per linear foot. But when the worst has already occurred, effective termite pest control in Albuquerque may require a serious first-treatment process. The tech should also knock down spider webs, and do a routine check of visual signs of wood destructive invaders.Ĭarpenter Ants and Termites – New Mexico homeowners do well if they make early identification, elimination and control of wood eating pest a personal priority. The process typically includes treating the yard area directly adjacent to the house. Insects – Rough costs for an initial spraying to control internal pests range $50 to $70 per month. The service includes setting traps while also seeking to eliminate the core cause of the problem. Rodents – Pest control for rodent problems typically runs between $75 and $100. ![]() ![]() Keep in mind that effective pest reduction often demands a crossover between inside your home and outside your home processes. Wish this could be a one price fits all solution, but home and office pest problems come in a variety of creatures and sizes, each with a species-specific method of elimination, reduction and routine control processes.

In the absence of existing infrastructure in the region, the vessel is equipped with advanced thermal and nuclear power facilities.Īlterra Corp. ![]() There the elite team of engineers will begin a 6 month construction project on the new phasegate, a multi-trillion credit investment. From there the command crew will pilot the ship beyond the final phasegate, arriving in the next solar system approximately 18 months later. The Aurora will travel from spacedock on the edge of Alterra space, making hundreds of consecutive phasegate jumps through nine different trans-gov authorities, and arrive on the far side of the Ariadne Arm in three months' time. ![]() The furthest reaches of inhabited space are due to expand, as Alterra Corp launches a newly-constructed capital ship, carrying a phasegate bound for the Ariadne Arm. PHASEGATE ANNOUNCED FOR THE ARIADNE ARM: ALTERRA LAUNCHES THE AURORA Including parts normally hidden by the terrain, it stands to be about 500 meters tall. The ship is approximately 1,280 meters long from nose to thrusters. It is visible from the surface nearly anywhere on the map, making it a useful landmark, especially if the player lacks a compass. The Aurora is located on the far eastern edge of the map, with its bow facing north and its stern facing south. While quite dangerous and far out, the player can visit the Aurora early in-game before it explodes, although multiple tools are needed to properly explore the ship. After the Aurora's Drive Core explodes, the ship's wreckage is surrounded by Radiation and is unapproachable without a Radiation Suit. Multiple Reaper Leviathans patrol the crash site.īy the time the Player awakens and begins his exploration of the area, all of the other Lifepods have been destroyed and their occupants have vanished. Upon crashing, the Aurora plowed into the terrain, unearthing it and leaving small sand hills around the ship, resulting in huge quantities of Metal Salvage and Supply Crates being dispersed within the vicinity of the ship, providing useful materials such as Food & Water, batteries, and Titanium. Moments after Lifepod 5 launched, Ryley heard the enforcement platform fire and witnessed a second energy pulse strike the already crippled ship. All the starboard Lifepods were compromised if not outright destroyed by the energy pulse most of the port side lifepods that did launch (pods 1 to 25) were compromised except for Lifepod 5, which contained Ryley Robinson, and Lifepod 4, though it was heavily damaged when a Reaper Leviathan tried to eat it and possibly caused it to eventually become overturned, and other Lifepods whos occupants met other fates. It was thought that the ship's advanced scanning suite, superior to any ship that had previously made a search effort, would have better luck in finding the crew, or finally confirm whatever fate had befallen them.ĭuring a gravity slingshot maneuver around Planet 4546B, the Quarantine Enforcement Platform struck the Aurora with an energy pulse on the starboard (right) side, resulting in catastrophic hull failure and leading to it crash landing on the surface of the planet. Its secondary mission, unknown to most of the crew, was an agreement made with the Mongolian Independent States to search for and possibly rescue the survivors of the Degasi crew. The Aurora was a brand-new Alterra Long-Range Capital Ship (and possibly the first of its class) sent to the Ariadne Arm by the Alterra Corporation to build a phasegate. To check if your device is preinstalled with Perl or not, just go to the Command line(For Windows, search for cmd in the Run dialog( + R). ![]() This can be done by following the step by step instructions provided below: Checking for a preinstalled Perl version:īefore we begin with the installation of Perl, it is good to check if it might be already installed on your system, because many software applications nowadays require Perl to perform their operations, hence a version of Perl might be included in the software’s installation package and hence there is no need to redownload and install the Perl when it already exists. To begin with, writing Perl Codes and performing various intriguing and useful operations, one must have Perl installed on their System. Using an IDE makes it easier to write Perl codes because IDEs provides a lot of features like intuitive code editor, debugger, compiler, etc. One can also use an online IDE for writing Perl codes or can even install one on their system to make it more feasible to write these codes. Perl programs can be written on any plain text editor like notepad, notepad++, or anything of that sort. Perl is a lot similar to C syntactically and is easy for the users who have knowledge of C, C++. Perl supports both procedural and Object-Oriented programming. Perl was originally developed for text processing like extracting the required information from a specified text file and for converting the text file into a different form.
