Anyway, navigating around Google Earth using the Oculus Touch controls is simple enough. Right, that used up 100 words nicely ( "nicely" - ed.). Basically Minas Tirith from Lord of the Rings, only a bit worse because it’s French.įlorence – 10/10 Adore those red-tiled rooftops. Mont St Michel – 9/10 Weird-ass island monastery with awesome narrow streets. Not to be confused with Wolfenstein Castle, which doesn’t exist. Neushwenstein Castle – 8/10 It’s the Disney castle, innit? Looks pretty but too hard to spell. Looks like a mountain that’s been Tango-ed. Still in Early Access.Īyer’s Rock – 5/10 Big but too dusty. Niagara Falls – 5/10 Pretty but can’t see anything in the street-view pics because spray. Here are some quick and entirely serious reviews of the places that I visited: But the number of areas that do have this functionality is genuinely impressive. I went to Kathmandu, for example, and that was flatter than an elephant’s piano. #Google earth vr photo spheres fullNot every location in Google Earth has this full 3D feature. I got right up in the face of those Monument Valley mesas, and you could see every crack, pillar, and cliff edge on those craggy Utah bad boys. The models stand up impressively to close scrutiny to. And it looked pretty much exactly how I recall it. One of the first things I did was re-trace a route I walked through when I visited Paris early last year, crossing the Seine and passing under the Eiffel Tower before walking across to Notre Dame and the Louvre. The detail on these 3D renders is truly astonishing. In addition to this, however all of its terrain and many of its key locations are rendered in Full 3-D.Ĭities in particular have received a lot of attention, letting you fly around 3D models of places like Manhattan, Paris, London, and so forth. ![]() It has all the functionality of regular Google Earth, letting you locate pretty much any location in the world, and zoom in through layers of satellite footage right down to street view level, assuming it has photos of the available location, which is does in 99 percent of occasions. I’ve had Google Earth VR downloaded on my hard drive for ages, but I kept putting off looking at it because, well, it’s basically just a posh globe, innit? Sure, in VR the Earth might look a bit more spherical, but I stopped getting excited by spheres when I was about three years old.Īs it turns out, Google Earth is much more than a fancy Atlas. This makes me feel all the more foolish for ignoring it for so long. I only meant to dive in for a couple of hours to get a feel of the thing, and ended up losing half the day. Google Earth VR may not be a video game, but it has a feedback loop that’s just as compelling. Then I went to space again, before finishing up with a jaunt around Europe. Then I stopped off at Mount Rushmore before having a layover at Monument Valley. Then I went to space for a bit, and after that I passed by Kathmandu and Mount Everest. I started hovering over Paris, and then I went to Niagara Falls. ![]() ![]() Large outbreaks, such as those caused by influenza, put a strain on resources necessary for their control. Programmes to improve IP practice and address antimicrobial resistance in African neonatal units are urgently required. Breaches in IP practice are commonly implicated with outbreak source confirmed in <50%. Outbreaks in hospitalised African neonates are frequent but underreported, with high mortality and predominance of Gram-negative bacteria. From the African neonatal literature we identified 20 outbreaks affecting 524 babies (177 deaths 34% mortality) 50% of outbreaks were caused by extended-spectrum B-lactamase producing Klebsiella pneumoniae. Stringent transmission-based precautions, staff/parent education and change of clinical practices contained the outbreaks. Although the infection source was seldom identified, most outbreaks were associated with breaches in IP practices. We documented 13 outbreaks affecting 148 babies (11 deaths 7% mortality) over 8 years with pathogens including rotavirus, influenza, measles and multi-drug resistant bacteria (Serratia marcescens, Acinetobacter baumannii, methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and vancomycin resistant enterococci). We reviewed neonatal outbreaks from Africa (1 January 1996 - 1 January 2016) to contextualise our experience within published literature from the region. We describe neonatal outbreaks attended by the Paediatric Infectious Diseases and Infection Prevention (IP) teams at Tygerberg Children's Hospital, Cape Town ( - 30 April 2016) reporting pathogens, outbreak size, mortality, source and outbreak control measures. African neonatal units are at high risk of outbreaks owing to overcrowding, understaffing and shared equipment. Hospitalized neonates are vulnerable to infection, with pathogen exposures occurring in utero, intrapartum and postnatally. ![]() Despite stringent lockdown measures, the second month following importation was characterised by community transmission and increasing disease burden in more populous provinces. ![]() The first eight weeks following COVID-19 importation were characterised by early predominance of imported cases and relatively low mortality and transmission rates. The national initial Rt was 2.08 (95% confidence interval (CI): 1.71–2.51). 53%) and resident in a more populous province (98% vs. Cases diagnosed in April compared with March were younger (median age, 37 vs. Amongst 2,819 cases with data, 489/2819 (17.3%) travelled internationally within 14 days prior to diagnosis, mostly during March 2020 (466 (95%)). Hospitalization records were found for 1,271 patients (692 females (54%)) of whom 186 (14.6%) died. ![]() Of these, 7,892 (2.9%) persons tested positive (median age 37 years (interquartile range 28–49 years), 4,568 (58%) male, cumulative incidence of 13.4 cases/100,000 persons). ![]() Using national surveillance data including demographics, laboratory test data, clinical presentation, risk exposures (travel history, contacts and occupation) and outcomes of persons undergoing COVID-19 testing or hospitalised with COVID-19 at sentinel surveillance sites, we generated and interpreted descriptive statistics, epidemic curves, and initial reproductive numbers (Rt).įrom 4 March to 30 April 2020, 271,670 SARS-CoV-2 PCR tests were performed (462 tests/100,000 persons). We describe the epidemiology of COVID-19 in South Africa following importation and during implementation of stringent lockdown measures. ![]() ![]() ![]() Zhukov, deputy commander of the Red Army, and Marshal Alesksandr M. Stalin heeded the advice of Marshal Georgi K. Hitler’s delays played right into Soviet hands. Historian Charles Winchester has aptly noted, “The idea that an offensive involving millions of men fighting across a battlefield half the size of England could be determined by a few hundred new tanks shows touching faith in technology.” When Wilhem Keitel, Hitler’s chief of the armed forces high command, later argued for the attack on political reasons, Guderian spat back, “ How many people do you think even know where Kursk is?” Hitler admitted the idea made his “stomach turn over,” but eventually not only decided in favor of Citadel but delayed it for two months until the new tanks were ready. Furthermore, he made it clear that the Panthers and the Elephants were in no way ready for combat. ![]() Heinz Guderian, the inspector general of armored troops, called the idea “pointless,” certain to result in heavy tank casualties. Von Kluge, who liked to curry favor with Hitler but was known as a fence sitter, supported Citadel but argued against any further delay, so if it failed he could not be blamed. VonManstein argued that Citadel might have worked in April, when Hitler first signed the operational order, but now its “success was doubtful.” Field Marshal Walter Model, commander of the Ninth Army, cautioned that the plan was painfully obvious and that the Soviets were already preparing deep and strong defensive positions. Hitler presented Zeitzler’s plan to his senior Army commander on May 3-4. The Germans attacked from north and south, but were kept at bay after fierce fighting. Germans attempted to reduce the Soviet salient around the village of Kursk, resulting in the greatest tank battle in the history of modern warfare. Such were the rewards of victory, and to achieve it Zeitzler counted on the new, vaunted Panther tanks and the Ferdinand or “Elephant” tank destroyer. The Eastern Front would be straightened out, allowing German troops to be transferred to the West along with thousands of Soviet prisoners to toil in the Reich’s factories and on its farms. Once the two German army groups met, the Soviet armies in the salient would be encircled and consequently destroyed. At the same time, von Manstein’s Army Group South would attack toward Kursk from the south with Colonel General Herman Hoth’s Fourth Panzer Army and General Werner Kempf’s Army Detachment. In what came to be known as Operation Citadel, the Ninth Army of von Kluge’s Army Group Center would strike for Kursk from the north while his Second Army defended the western face of the salient. Kurt Zeitzler, chief of Army general staff, proposed eliminating the Kursk salient. A stalemate, however, was still in the cards, but only if the Germans managed to retain the initiative. Despite Von Manstein’s recent victory at Kharkov, only the most fanatical senior German commanders, along with Hitler, believed that the Soviet Union could be decisively defeated. With the third summer of the German-Soviet war approaching, the Red Army war machine had grown more powerful while that of the Germans proportionally declined. The Kursk salient was consequently the target of the last, great German summer offensive, ending with the legendary tank battles in the environs of Oboian and Prokhorovka. The front was left with a gargantuan Soviet salient, 150 miles long and 100 miles wide, bulging around the town of Kursk between the two German army groups. The thick “ rasputitsa” clung to steel tank tracks, to truck tires, to the hoofs of tired horses, and to the boots of exhausted soldiers. Operations everywhere then bogged down to a standstill as the Russian spring thawed the frozen earth and turned it to mud. Meanwhile, to the north of the Donets campaign, the Soviet winter offensive was held at bay before Orel by Field Marshal Günther von Kluge’s Army Group Center. Manstein’s brilliant counteroffensive restored the southern front and culminated in an SS frontal assault and a triumphant recapture of Kharkov. Fresh panzer formations sliced into the startled Soviet flanks, ripping apart two Soviet Fronts (Army Groups). Once the Soviet armor ran dry of fuel and low on ammunition, Manstein unleashed Army Group South’s riposte. At the time, Field Marshal Erich von Manstein was only waiting for the Soviets to overextend themselves. The Soviets seemed unstoppable, recapturing the major city of Kharkov from the Germans on February 14, 1943, roughly five months before the Battle of Kursk. With the German Sixth Army destroyed at Stalingrad, the Soviet juggernaut lunged west and southwest across the River Donets. ![]() ![]() The prompt for root access did not exist when I wrote this answer. The absolute best thing to do to is make a copy of a restricted file, edit it, and copy it back when you're absolutely sure it's finished.Īlso for editing files to which your user does not have permissions, I would now recommend Talha Junaid's answer which asks for permissions every single time you want to save a file. I'm not saying that you should never use VSCode as root(though its pretty easy to avoid doing) I'm saying you should be careful when you want to do so and know the risks. It's just good practice on any operating system to run your applications on a user level and leave administrative tasks to the root user, and only on a per-need basis. Or that vulnerability that was just posted in ProFTPD to allow an attacker to gain a ROOT shell. For example, you wouldn't want that recent crash of Rhythmbox to wipe out your entire /usr directory due to a bug. Applications are meant to be run with non-administrative security (or as mere mortals) so you have to elevate their privileges to modify the underlying system. It defeats the security model that's been in place for years.

Six unsuccessful Oscar nominations later, and Leonardo DiCaprio finally bagged the coveted Academy Award for Best Actor for his role as Hugh Glass in 2016's The Revenant. Leonardo DiCaprio, Kate Winslet and her then-husband Sam Mendes.Ģ012: Leonardo walks Kate down the aisle as she marries Ned Rocknrollġ5 years after the pair first met, Kate asked her Titanic co-star if he would walk her down the aisle when she married Ned Rocknroll in 2012.Īccording to Us Weekly, a New York-based celebrity and entertainment publication, it was DiCaprio who gave Winslet away on the special day.Ī representative of Winslet's broke the matrimonial news to the media, revealing the actress had married Ned Rocknroll in a "private ceremony", with only handful of people in attendance, including her two children, family and "very few friends".Ģ016: Leonardo DiCaprio finally wins an Oscar, and Kate watches on proudly from the audience Kate Winslet and Sam Mendes split around 2011, three years after Revolutionary Road was filmed. "Leo told me to get over it, but I said, 'You're my best friend and he's my husband. "I just kept saying, 'This is too weird'," Marie Claire reported the actress saying. This was, however, largely down the fact that the film's director was also her real-life husband at the time too. While playing the married couple, they naturally had to act out some steamier scenes – an experience Winslet described as "awkward". Sam Mendes' romantic drama saw the pair as the two leading roles once again, with DiCaprio portraying the character Frank, and Winslet his on-screen wife April. Just over a decade after the box office hit Titanic, Leonardo and Kate worked alongside each for another project. The chemistry off screen may have been purely platonic, but during filming Winslet couldn't deny her character Rose and DiCaprio's Jack shared a spark during that famous, steamy car scene.Ģ008: Starring in Revolutionary Road together And even though I didn’t feel that way about Leo, it was quite nice to sort of feel that way in the scene."

He'd be tickling me, groping me, winding me up. I'll just change it back.' So, he changed it back.The actress added: "We'd do the most ridiculous things to each other. So, it was a little tricky… I got to the point where I'm like, you know, I'm filling in doctors' forms and it says ' mother's name' and 'father's name', and I'm like, 'Honey…are we going to keep going?’ And he's like, 'Yeah, you're right.

"When he changed his name to Rocknroll, I don't think he had anticipated what might happen if he should have a girlfriend whose name was Kate Winslet and who was quite well-known and therefore the press might kind of not react so well to the fact that she had this boyfriend called then Rocknroll. On 22 November 1998, Winslet married director Jim Threapleton. She went on to describe why he changed his name back to a more traditional form of his birth name. So when I met him, his name was Ned Rocknroll. ![]() And as time went by and Ned became Ned-who is quite an original personality-he just decided at one point in his life to just change his name to Rocknroll. In an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live, Winslet also explained the odd choice in names that her husband made. ![]() ![]() ![]() However, a joker is a wild game and can have a value from one to 10.Ĭertain pin cards cannot be knocked down if there are other cards around it. So, 10 equals 10 for the game the nine is nine, etc. So, if the ball card is a six and there are two or more cards equaling 16, then they can be removed because their last digit, a six, equals the ball card.Įach card is assigned a value, with the aces equaling one and the others will have the same face value as the card. The pins can be removed by:ġ) The bowl card and a pin card having the same value.Ģ) Two or more of the pin cards have the same value as the ball card.ģ) The last digit of the pin cards equals the value of the ball card. To play the game, attempt to remove, or knock down, pin cards by using the ball cards from the first pile. ![]() The first pile will have five cards, the next one will have three cards, and the last pile should have two cards. The bowling ball cards, the remaining 10 cards, should be dealt in three piles. There will be four cards on the top row, three on the next, then two, and then one card on the bottom row for a total of 10 cards. Start playing by shuffling the cards you’re using and deal them out in the shape of bowling pins, or a reverse pyramid. #Card games for two plusHowever, the game only requires the Ace through 10 of two suits, plus the jokers, to play the game. Most solitaire games do not make use of the jokers, but this one does. If you can use all the cards by creating sets of four for each of the card values, you’ve won the game. If you do not have a play on a garden card, deal out three cards from those in your hand and turn them face up, with only the top card showing, and continue playing. If this move creates space, then it should be filled by a card from the hive. Two cards from the garden can be played if they have the same value. If a match is found, place the bee onto the card in the garden, and then turn up the next card in the beehive. To play the card, try to match the first face-up card in the beehive to one in the garden. So, you will want four jacks, four aces, four 10s, etc. The object of the game is to build stacks of four cards of the same value. The remaining cards will be in your hand face down. Next, deal out six cards in two rows of three cards face up, which represents a garden. Shuffle the deck and deal the cards by counting out 10 cards and putting them face up on the board.
