![]() In the end, it was us looking back at Mini Metro and trying to dissect what makes it tick (it’s as much an enigma to us as to anyone else!) and playing games like Justin Smith’s Freeways that got us on to exploring what a Mini Metro -style game about building roads would look like. We tried a lot of other things first - games about family history, architecture, ski fields, gosh, even archaeology. Sure! I know that Mini Motorways looks like it was the natural follow-up to Mini Metro, but actually it took a very long time to settle on it being our next game. Can you tell us a little about the idea behind Mini Motorways and how it expands on what you developed with Mini Metro ? You’re well known for your game Mini Metro, and your latest title Mini Motorways is coming soon to Steam. Mini Motorways is currently exclusive to Apple Arcade, but Dinosaur Polo Club is hoping to bring it to Steam this year, and we recently had the chance to sit down with co-founder Robert Curry and Community and Engagement Manager Casey Lucas-Quaid for a chat about the team’s influences and development process, the games industry in New Zealand and how COVID-19 has affected the studio. The ever-growing studio followed Mini Metro up last year with Mini Motorways, which takes the same core concept off the rails and onto the bitumen, asking players to design a road map - instead of railways - for a fast-growing, procedurally-generated city. With beautiful, minimalistic visuals and a fantastic procedural audio system, Mini Metro was very well – received, and saw enough success that Dinosaur Polo Club was able to release it on Android/iOS in 2016, Nintendo Switch in 2018 and PlayStation 4 last year. If you're keen on joining in on all the fun, you can download Mini Motorways on Apple Arcade or Mini Metro on the iOS App Store and on the Google Play Store for $3.99 a pop.Even though planning an entire rail network is one of the most important, most difficult jobs an engineer could think of signing up for, Wellington, New Zealand-based indie studio Dinosaur Polo Club was able to turn it into a successful video game: its debut release, Mini Metro, saw players designing a rail transit system for a very rapidly growing procedurally-generated city. I think players will really like the addition of trains into Mini Motorways too, it’s been a long time coming, and this has felt like the perfect time to introduce such a highly requested new feature to this game. ![]() It’s a special milestone to celebrate with our players and bring so many exciting crossover maps and features into both games for everyone to enjoy. “ Our players have shared so many special moments with us, from connecting families during hard times to easing anxiety after a long day and even a marriage proposal. “ It’s hard to believe it’s been a decade since Mini Metro first came into the world! To see how this Mini-vision has expanded into something truly massive has been indescribable, and we owe a massive thanks to our incredible community of players,” says Ben Emerson, Marketing Coordinator, Dinosaur Polo Club. Trains - by popular demand - will also be available in Mini Motorways. Mini Metro, on the other hand, will soon get to experience Tokyo, Warsaw, and Lisbon maps. ![]() In the 10-year “Miniversary” update, players can look forward to navigating New York City as the winner from among 30 Mini Metro maps that players voted on to cross over into the game. In particular, players can get their hands on a boatload of updates on July 24th, along with London and Mumbai maps plus crossovers with Mini Metro. ![]() Mini Motorways is launching a special new map based on the community map vote, which adds New York City into the fray just in time for the 10-year anniversary of Dinosaur Polo Club.

![]() Common data-source formats include relational databases, XML, JSON and flat files, but may also include non-relational database structures such as Information Management System (IMS) or other data structures such as Virtual Storage Access Method (VSAM) or Indexed Sequential Access Method (ISAM), or even formats fetched from outside sources by means such as web spidering or screen-scraping. Each separate system may also use a different data organization and/or format. Most data-warehousing projects combine data from different source systems. In many cases, this represents the most important aspect of ETL, since extracting data correctly sets the stage for the success of subsequent processes. ![]() The first part of an ETL process involves extracting the data from the source system(s). For example, a cost accounting system may combine data from payroll, sales, and purchasing. The separate systems containing the original data are frequently managed and operated by different employees. While the data is being extracted, another transformation process executes while processing the data already received and prepares it for loading while the data loading begins without waiting for the completion of the previous phases.ĮTL systems commonly integrate data from multiple applications (systems), typically developed and supported by different vendors or hosted on separate computer hardware. ![]() Since the data extraction takes time, it is common to execute the three phases in parallel. The ETL process became a popular concept in the 1970s and is often used in data warehousing.ĭata extraction involves extracting data from homogeneous or heterogeneous sources data transformation processes data by data cleansing and transforming them into a proper storage format/structure for the purposes of querying and analysis finally, data loading describes the insertion of data into the final target database such as an operational data store, a data mart, data lake or a data warehouse.Ī properly designed ETL system extracts data from the source systems, enforces data quality and consistency standards, conforms data so that separate sources can be used together, and finally delivers data in a presentation-ready format so that application developers can build applications and end users can make decisions. In computing, extract, transform, load (ETL) is the general procedure of copying data from one or more sources into a destination system which represents the data differently from the source(s) or in a different context than the source(s). ![]() Snape created the spell specifically to heal wounds created by Sectum Sempra, which was another spell he created to cut people. While you’d expect there to be a bevy of healing spells in this world there really aren’t. While the spell is seemingly only known to Severus Snape… actually that kind of breaks this theory in half. There are also a bunch of spells that aren’t identified that heal wounds, but the one we’re focusing on is Vulnera Sanentur. They are: Anapneo, Ossio, Dispersimus, Episkey, Ferula, Reparifors, Tergeo, and Vulnera Sanentur. HOWEVER, I got to believe that from all of the beatings, stabbings, and magic exploding spells sent careening toward them, house elves should be pretty damn tough.Īnyway, there are a total of seven healing spells known in the Harry Potter universe. While the complexities of house elf physiology is a bit of a mystery, I can only assume that the knife thrown by Bellatrix Lestrange into Dobby must have hit a vital organ somewhere in the little elf’s stomach. This link is not-safe-for-life, but it shows you that getting stabbed doesn’t mean you’re going to die. Given that the crew was on the run and they didn’t have great resources, there’s still a high chance that Dobby would die.īut a tea cup can’t bleed to death, so why not just try it? Healing spell The only problem is that a Transfiguration spell doesn’t last forever, so it would require a very powerful witch or wizard to cast a spell that could keep Dobby frozen in time long enough to get him to a hospital. He should have transformed him into a statue of a house elf essentially freezing him in time until they could have gotten him the proper medial care. Now when Dobby appears on that beach with a knife sticking out of his little stomach, Harry Potter’s first instinct shouldn’t have been to cradle him in his arms. However, there’s nothing that says Transfiguration can’t stave off death. ![]() For instance, while you can turn a parrot into a goblet you can’t turn a goblet into a parrot, or at least one that would have truly living characteristics. There’s also been some thought put into Transfiguration’s inability to turn something dead into something that’s alive. There’s even a formula that determines how difficult it is to transform something that brings in the variables of wand power, viciousness, concentration, and bodyweight(Uncle Dursley would be really hard to transform…). Sometimes it’s as simple as turning an animal into a goblet or as complex as becoming actually becoming a wolf. You have been warned.“īasically, Transfiguration focuses on the alteration of a body or an object. Anyone messing around in my class will leave and not come back. “ Transfiguration is some of the most complex and dangerous magic you will learn at Hogwarts. We never saw McGonagall turn it back to normal…Īs Minerva McGonagall tells Harry Potter and Ron Weasley over and over in the books, Transfiguration is “Hella difficult”, but as she actually put it: Learn more about their author guidelines here.Ħ.

Each element, from size and opacity to form and color, can be customized to improve aim and maximize visibility. White blends with every enemy highlight color, and stands out more than any color through smokes. Players can modify the crosshair settings in VALORANT to match their personal preferences. White is very plain but it gets the job done. The classic, default, ole reliable white crosshair. This is certainly the color for those who want some color to their crosshair, but not one too vibrant.Īh. Red is much less bright than the other colors, but it also provides more contrast to the background than white. Something about a red crosshair just feels right. Pink and green, though outstanding, can be a distraction at times because of their vibrance. Green, however, can be a struggle for people who are color blind, so pink may be the better choice.Ĭyan is another color that will stand out, due to the lack of bright colors in Valorant’s background. Like green, pink is bright enough for your crosshair to stand out. There is virtually 0 chance of losing this crosshair in the background because it doesn’t blend in with the environment. GreenĪ Green crosshair is a great crosshair because of how bright it is. Taking all that into consideration, take note of these 5 crosshairs and choose whatever is best for you. What are the best crosshair settings in VALORANT At the end of the day, or at the end of a round or match, the best crosshair is the one that you find the most comfort using. Other factors can include colorblindness, as well as the crosshair colors that you typically use in FPS. Some colors work better for others, so it may even take some experimentation. ![]() Certain crosshairs can get lost with the background, making you miss shots. The color of one’s crosshair can seem trivial in Valorant, but it can make a world of difference. ![]() ![]() In the cases of Hebrew transliteration into English, many Hebrew words have a long history of transliteration, for example Amen, Satan, ephod, Urim and Thummim have traditionally been transliterated, not translated. Transliteration of a foreign word into another language is usually the exception to translation, and often occurs when there is something distinctive about the word in the original language, such as a double entendre, uniqueness, religious, cultural or political significance, or it may occur to add local flavor. The use of a Hindi word in English such as " khaki" (originally खाकी) is transliteration. The use of a French word in English without translation, such as " bourgeois", is not transliteration. Transliteration assumes two different script systems. Where these are formalized these are known as "transliteration systems", and, where only some words, not all, are transliterated, this is known as "transliteration policy". ![]() Both Hebraization of English and Romanization of Hebrew are forms of transliteration. To go the other way, that is from English to Hebrew, see Hebraization of English. Transliteration uses an alphabet to represent the letters and sounds of a word spelled in another alphabet, whereas transcription uses an alphabet to represent the sounds only. Usually, it is to identify a Hebrew word in a non-Hebrew language that uses the Latin alphabet, such as German, Spanish, Turkish, and so on. Romanization includes any use of the Latin alphabet to transliterate Hebrew words. The romanization of Hebrew is the use of the Latin alphabet to transliterate Hebrew words.įor example, the Hebrew name spelled יִשְׂרָאֵל ("Israel") in the Hebrew alphabet can be romanized as Yisrael or Yiśrāʼēl in the Latin alphabet. The Hebrew language uses the Hebrew alphabet with optional vowel diacritics. Title of the romanized Hebrew newspaper ha Savuja ha Palestini, shows part of the romanization method of Itamar Ben-Avi.

Thousands of miles away from your national territory. “Well, if somebody has the desire to send regular troops, that would certainly bring humanity to the brink of a very serious global conflict. Russian President Vladimir Putin speaks during an interview with US television host Tucker Carlson in Moscow I do not understand why American soldiers should fight in Ukraine,” Putin said. That argument is based on the fact that Poland and the Baltic states are NATO members, and the alliance’s principle of collective security would kick in if any if them were attacked, necessitating US forces to intervene directly. US politicians have said we “have to continue to fund the Ukrainian effort, or US soldier citizens could wind up fighting there. ![]() “Only in one case if Poland attacks Russia, why? Because we have no interest in Poland, Latvia or anywhere else,” Putin said.

Probably this is going to be crowned with success as well but we have to come to an agreement,” said Putin. “There have been many successful examples of these talks crowned with success. I believe an agreement can be reached,” said Putin, stressing that Western powers will have to take what he called “reciprocal steps”. “We are willing to solve it but there are certain terms being discussed via special services channels. He and his newspaper strongly reject the charges and the US government has designated him as wrongfully detained. Gershkovich was arrested on Main the Urals city of Yekaterinburg and accused of trying to obtain defence secrets. The Russian president suggested that, in return, Moscow wanted Germany to free Vadim Krasikov, who was convicted of the 2019 murder of a Chechen dissident in Berlin. Putin said that it might be possible to free Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich, who is awaiting trial on spying charges, in exchange for a Russian prisoner.

They said, ‘Well, it’s not enshrined on paper, so we’ll expand.'” Putin also highlighted that they were promised that NATO would not expand to the East. “If he had said yes, the process of rapprochement would have commenced, and eventually it might have happened if we had seen some sincere wish on the other side of our partners. “But if he had said yes, would you have joined NATO?” Carlson said. “Look, I asked the question, is it possible, or not, and the answer I got was no,” Putin said. “Would you have joined NATO?” Carlson asked. Okay, well, it’s impossible now,” he added. “I wouldn’t have said anything like that if it hadn’t happened. I think he will watch our interview, he’ll confirm it,” the Russian president said. “But in the evening, when we met for dinner, he said: ‘You know, I’ve talked to my team, no, no, it’s not possible now.’ You can ask him. I think so,’” said Putin who was speaking through an interpreter. “At a meeting here in the Kremlin with the outgoing President Bill Clinton, right here in the next room, I said to him, I asked him: ‘Bill, do you think if Russia asked to join NATO, do you think it would happen?’ Suddenly he said, ‘You know, it’s interesting.
