In this image, the app is in the process of scanning my nominated iTunes backup to identify all the Photos, Contacts, Messages, Notes, etc. This app is not available from the Mac App Store, so must be downloaded from the Aiseesoft website.īelow is an image of the Fonelab screen. The particular product that I use for cases like this is Aiseesoft Mac Fonelab. The easiest way to extract the information contained in this set of folders is to download a product that allows you to view the contents of the backup. (If you don't have much in your backup, this solution might be workable for finding a particular file.) The question is then, how can she view the contents of her backup in a way that allows her to locate her missing Notes - given that there is nothing that would indicate which of the files in the relevant backup folder contains her deleted Notes.ĭouble-clicking on a few files at random shows that these backup files are sometimes photos, sometimes text with gobbledy-gook - but finding a couple of Notes amongst thousands of files would be like finding a needle in a haystack. So hope was restored.īut how can you then find what you need in the iTunes Backup When we looked at my client's backup folders on her Macbook in the same way, we were able to see that she had a backup from just before and after the date that she thinks she deleted the Notes. This allows you to save limited iCloud space and avoid having to upload and download huge amounts of data. For example, iCloud backups don’t include a complete copy of the music and videos on your device - but iTunes backups will. With iCloud, only “the most important data” on your device will be backed up to your iCloud account. When you back up via iTunes, you’ll get a complete copy of all the data on your device so you can restore your device to the same exact state later. iTunes backups are different than iCloud backups. ( Read more here if you are interested.). The below is taken from a article that talks about i-Device backups. So what's the difference between these two types of backup. While the iCloud backup is unlikely to be of any help in retrieving the lost Notes, it is possible that the lost data is still available in the iTunes backups that are saved to her Macbook. So she came to see me to find out if there was any possibility of retrieving these lost Notes, especially given that she had regularly backed up her iPhone to iTunes on her Macbook as well as backing up to iCloud. ![]() She had visited the Genius Bar at the Apple Store, but was told that there was not really any way of recovering the information that she had lost.

![]() Better Business Cases™ using the Five Case Model provides decision makers and stakeholders with a proven framework for structured thinking and assurance that the investment proposal: As weaknesses in the scrutiny and appropriateness of data and modelling techniques mendaciously distort the information on which investments are approved and mask the business, service and external risks. This is why a business case must never be perceived or used as a medium for simply gaining approval. It is for the above reasons that good decisions are based on having sufficient, objective, accurate and timely data and information on programme and project costs, timescales, benefits and risks. As such, the residual use of optimism bias to measure continued uncertainties should be minimal and generally no more than 2% for a standard capital scheme. Professor Bent Flyvbjerg at Oxford University calls this strategic misrepresentation defined as the planned, systematic, deliberate misstatement of costs and benefits to get projects approved. It is for this very reason the UK government espouses that project plans should allow for optimism bias by increasing the costs and timescales estimates when information is unknown early in the lifecycle and prior to an investment decision. Depending on the organisational culture, it may be a reflection of the perceived need to present best case scenarios to have any success in achieving the required whole of life funding estimate for capital, service and maintenance. This leads to shortfalls in benefits realisation where in many cases the stated benefits in the business case were unfortunately overstated to begin with. The companion guide, APMG-International’s Managing Benefits – Optimizing the Return from Investments also notes that psychologists and other researchers have identified a number of cognitive biases and organisational factors that impact our ability to assiduously produce accurate and reliable forecasts. Since this guidance describes how to successfully scope, analyse, plan, procure and manage delivery to achieve value for money and social return on investment in terms of public outcomes, services and trust. people, assets, materials, funding and services) in developing programme and project investment proposals. They provide further guidance through Better Business Cases™ for Better Outcomes using the Five Case Model that ought to be used by those accountable within an organisation using public resources (i.e. In a project environment, optimism bias is the demonstrated systematic tendency, whether unconsciously or deliberately, for project business cases to overstate forecast benefits, and understate the timescales and costs, both capital and operational including delivery complexity. To combat this, the United Kingdom Treasury developed the Green Book on how to appraise policies, programmes and projects. The Five Case Model - It’s not easy being green! The extent of the optimism bias is thus measured empirically by recording an organisation’s expectations before a project event unfolds and contrasting those with the required outcomes and forecast benefits that transpire since reality sometimes does not meet customer expectations. This denotes the glass half full or half empty conundrum. If expectations are better than reality, the bias is optimistic if reality is better than expected, the bias is pessimistic. This optimism bias is defined as the difference between a person's expectation and the outcome that follows. Such faith helps to motivate people directing, managing and delivering a project or programme to pursue organisational (including strategic) objectives and key results. ![]() This innate confidence or attitude that something is the case is articulated by Tali Sharot of TedTalk fame, where she states that we are more optimistic than realistic. To enable progress, we need to be able to imagine alternative realities – better ones – and we need to believe that we can achieve them. It's the tendency for project portfolio management professionals to ignore lessons learned and believe that they are less likely to repeat the same mistakes or experience negative events than others and to act on that optimistic belief that “It won't happen to me!” This thinking often leads to a phenomenon called the planning fallacy in which predictions about how much time will be needed to complete a future task display an optimism bias and underestimate the actual time needed. ![]() The belief that the future will be much better than the past and present is known as optimism bias. ![]() ![]() Other than that, there is nothing to pick up or earn. If you're just looking to ride a motorcycle race after race after race, it's great, because that's exactly what this is. The career situation feels a bit thin and frustrating. Then after passing the test, your regional league awaits where you unlock more events by passing others, which eventually unlocks the World League and Final Leagues. I felt as though I had to learn every single corner on every single track down to the smallest, tiniest micro-detail to even have a fighting chance. Frankly, this took me way too long - way, way too many hours. You have to pass a bronze medal in all six tests (or get silver or gold on some of them) to move on. If you end up just one millimetre off the track, it will be "Test Failed." Some tests are two minutes long, which means that you can drive for one full minute and 59 seconds and end up a little off in the last corner and have to start the whole darn test all over again. However, don't think that you can do it without being completely perfect. This is done by hitting a certain time during a lap. The career mode starts out with you learning to take your regional license before you can start competing for real. My other big annoyance is the two words "Test Failed". I had to give up races because I simply could not get through the first corner without flying off my motorcycle. ![]() This makes the game almost unplayable at times. If you end up a little too far out in the turn, you will be ploughed down. Should you brake earlier than them, you will then be hit. The impression I get is that everyone has a predetermined line and will not deviate an inch from it. To a small extent, it's certainly possible to blame my bad racing line and lousy braking, but they do the same thing to each other as well. They will overtake you, crashing into you and forcing you off your bike, time after time after time, like proper idiots. They seem to think it's more fun to drive into you than it is to drive around the actual track. The absolute biggest issue is that the AI is programmed to act like a rowdy 12-year-old. Ride 4 is extremely frustrating to put in plainly, but why is that the case? There are a few reasons. That's exactly how I would describe the game overall as well, not particularly impressive and not especially fancy from a graphical standpoint, which is a little sad because Milestone at this point should know how to create a beautiful motorcycle racing game. The problem is that it's not particularly impressive and certainly not pretty, in technical terms. On the screen where the news is presented, they hit the big drum with "unexpected thunderstorms" and "the most varied weather and light conditions". Take the weather for example, this was one of the things they seemed to focus on deeply. Milestone has decided to try to rectify this by adding some new things to improve the formula, but unfortunately, they have not succeeded. It's been two years since I saw a game in the Ride series - that being Ride 3 - and it was good, but not great. There are times where I could ride my crotch-rocket uninterrupted through a lovely sunny day, then out of nowhere, a damn thunderstorm. Just like the autumnal weather, my impressions of the game have been, to say the least, changing. Milestone has looked to tag onto this feeling by releasing Ride 4 as the fall begins. There is nothing that screams riding a bike as much as pulling the motorcycle out of the garage in October. iClone Lip Sync Animation Contest (2021.07).To have very mobile and facial 2D and 3D flexibility for my characters, how should they initially be created and then updated later to move, blink, and talk?

Old Waco High became deeply woven into city fabric through its dedication to the education of youth in Waco. For instance, some units contain chalkboards others might have a basketball goal or game clock. Today, each unit of the Historic Lofts of Waco High is different depending on where it exists in the floor plan. In 2008, the sale of Old Waco High was completed after the developer agreed to preserve the historic integrity of the building. Rehab Builders proposed to develop the building into loft-style apartments which would be offered to low-income families. In 2006, a private developer came along with a proposal to renovate Old Waco High. In 2004, dismayed citizens who did not want to see the historic building destroyed attempted to raise the necessary funds to renovate the building but were unable to find a lead donor to assist in the process. However, the cost of removing asbestos and lead-based paint from the building, nearly ten million dollars, led to buyer after buyer losing interest over the next decade. The school board put the building up for sale in 1995. In 1990, the building was closed to the public and sat empty. Over the next twenty years, Old Waco High was used to house an alternative school, a special education department, a museum called the Metropolitan Learning Center, and a pregnancy resource center. Some thought it best to simply sell it to the highest bidder. For instance, many wanted the building to be used for special education and neighborhood recreation programs. ![]() Citizens of Waco offered many suggestions for ways to repurpose Old Waco High. In 1971, a new structure was built to house Waco High School on North Nineteenth Street. The school board mandated incremental integration beginning with teachers and then students, but only achieved the minimum requirements to meet federal standards. Prior to integration, African American students attended Jefferson Moore High School. The racial makeup of Waco High began to change in the 1960s when the Waco Independent School District began implementing racial integration. In 1922, the Waco High Tigers defeated the Abilene Eagles, becoming the Texas State Football Champions. The athletic program was also successful early on. At their graduation ceremony, the keynote speaker invited them to draw upon the efficiency, industry, and preparedness they had been taught at Waco High, for these “were the qualities by which they would eventually triumph” in life. ![]() In 1915, all 110 seniors passed their classes and graduated. The school quickly became notable in the community. The high school was built in 1910, and sits in downtown Waco on Columbus Avenue in close proximity to the courthouse and the ALICO building. Initially the school met in two small buildings in downtown Waco during the 1880s, and for many years was the only public school west of the Brazos. Old Waco High School is the oldest of several extant buildings to have housed Waco High School. ![]() Sitting pretty at the edge of Fort Mason, this cozy breakfast, lunch and light dinner spot in the Marina serves guests and San Franciscans in search of a reasonably priced coffee with a breathtaking view.Green Beans Coffee: Customers say the coffee is satisfactory but the breakfast burritos are excellent before security in Boarding Area C, 24 hours a day Everything from the fresh salads and sandwiches to the coffee and irresistible baked goods are made using as many locally-sourced, sustainable ingredients as possible.įrom noon onwards, diners can sip local beers and wine while taking in the idyllic views of the Golden Gate Bridge and Alcatraz.

This is what is referred to as a floating floor because you never glue or nail it down to the subfloor underneath. Most LVP planks floors have some sort of click-locking installation system that can go any where in the home and over the top of most existing flooring without having to remove the existing floor. ![]() The LVP waterproof plank flooring looks just like the planks you would buy box of engineered wood flooring. Now every time you install a plank you are installing 3 tiles rather than one at a time. Imagine 3 tiles together in one rectangular plank. Many of luxury vinyl waterproof flooring brands offer tile designs in a rectangular plank design for fast installation. Luxury Vinyl Tile is often referred to as LVT and Luxury Vinyl Plank as LVP. Understanding LVT / LVP Waterproof Flooring Options Many brands of LVT waterproof flooring now offer beautiful tile and stone designs that can be installed any where in the home without the hassles of installing ceramic floor tiles. Also, because of the weight of floor tile you need a subfloor that can support the weight, especially above grade over a wood subfloor, or the tile and grout may crack. Glazed ceramic tile, porcelain tile and non-porous stone are inherently waterproof but most sanded grouts are not and have to be continually sealed and cleaned. If moisture gets between the laminate planks the floor may swell or worse delaminate. The surface of laminate floors is water-resistant, but the middle core of most laminate floors is generally made up of recycled wood fibers (HDF) and only treated to repel water along the exposed plank edges. The natural looking designs have such stunning realism and combined with textured embossing of the surface it is near impossible to tell if the flooring is a real or not.Īlthough many online flooring shoppers read about laminate floors being waterproof that is seldom true. The flooring manufacturers also have perfected hi-tech printing to duplicate the realism in any natural wood or stone. From the top wear layer right through the rigid center core the entire floor is 100% waterproof. Today’s luxury vinyl flooring (referred to as LVT flooring or LVP Flooring) has a WPC (Wood Plastic Composite) or SPC (Stone Plastic Composite) rigid core that is both 100% waterproof and extremely durable. This is what makes these floors so desirable for kitchens, laundry rooms, mud rooms and even bathrooms – actually, any room in the home. Why has waterproof flooring becoming so popular?
