In this case, Bashir knew exactly how to proceed with the shortest possible launch the “leak script” even had its own column in his launch spreadsheet. From leaks to system outages to unexpected competitor moves, there are any number of reasons a company might need to move quickly on a big announcement. That’s lesson #2: build a plan for partial or rapid release into your launch strategy. A leak after that point, though, would immediately trigger launch.”Īs part of its contingency prep, the team had also determined how they would modify the master launch plan in the event of a leak. Launch too far before the product was available to ship, and customers would grow frustrated by the long wait. If news leaked more than a week before the scheduled release, our team’s hands were tied. ![]() Our Kindle sales team had determined a game-time window. “To help determine your approach, mark down the earliest possible date you’d feel okay - even if slightly uncomfortable - launching. “We wanted to steer into the leak,” says Bashir. In this case, the Kindle team knew that they could, and should, capitalize on any early buzz, and the website traffic that came with it. Just don’t waste your time trying to plug a leak. Or if you’re, say, Apple, you’ll just completely ignore the noise and proceed with your meticulously planned launch event. In some cases, you might issue a denial in others, an “any press is good press” approach is in order. Lesson #1: Don't Fight the Leak.įaced with a leak, the most effective response will vary from company to company and launch to launch. Now, with a few years of perspective, he walks through those 37 minutes and the hard-won lessons that’ll help startups counteract any trials or turbulence on launch day. Ibrahim Bashir-then senior manager for Kindle, now director of program management and engineering at Twitter-was at the helm that day. Realizing that your product just became the hottest gadget in town - and you don’t have so much as a Buy button to show for it? That’s quite another. Still, preparing for an accelerated launch is one thing. With tech watchers sniffing around for details of the next Kindle and journalists holding onto an embargoed press release, there was a very real possibility that word would get out sooner than the team intended. ![]() How is it possible to launch a new product line in less than an hour? For starters, the Kindle team was as prepared for surprises as they were for a regularly scheduled launch. Thirty-seven minutes after that, the device was officially unveiled and available for purchase, and Jeff Bezos was getting ready to sing its praises in a press interview. Moments later, 20 people in a Seattle conference room jumped into gear. In the late morning of April 11, 2011, hours before its planned launch, the third-generation Kindle-the first lower-priced Kindle with Special Offers-was leaked.

Microsoft Word allows you to insert content from the data sources like an access database, excel spreadsheet, etc. Mail merge is supported by all the Microsoft Office programs. ![]() Basically, Mail Merge means to combine mail and document. It allows you to create a batch of personalized email messages from the letters and automatically fetches the address of the multiple recipients from the database in order to facilitate mass mailing. Mail Merge is a powerful feature supported within most of the applications. What is Mail Merge feature of Microsoft Word In other words, the mail merge makes each recipient of the email message the sole recipient. Unlike broadcasting email to a large number of people, the mail merge keeps the message same for several emails, but the name and address of the email are unique with custom details for each recipient.

Mass mailing is an important strategy in digital marketing used to increase sales and promote a brand. I really want to play them but with all I've read I'm not sure anymore. Początkowo opublikowane przez Luisma:I've read a lot of people saying that. Judeactually cared about world aroun him and tryed to achive his goals without kissing everyones ass. Ludger? Useless willes ♥♥♥♥ head who can just obey and nothing else? His is everyone ♥♥♥♥♥ who has no rights. but seriously the first Xillia is terrible to me. and its nice to see everyone from the original game. ![]() I like it quite a bit, its a nice game and Ludger is enjoyable. Tales of Xillia 2 however is really nice. AND THAT IS INCLUDING ESCORT TITLES like Tales of the Tempest (I actually like tempest for the lolz factor and Aria). but probably the worst in the series for me. heck why couldn't they have Ludger in the first game even instead of him. Seriously its like they ONLY MADE HIM because they couldn't have Milla as MC or something. he's even worse to me then Shirley from legendia. and refuse to acknowledge that he even exist. Początkowo opublikowane przez Aria:I'm a long time tales fan. ![]() I've been a Tales of fan since Destiny was released on ps1 and have beaten all of the games released in the states, this game was awefull and I never felt bad about droping it. It's a hollow game with an improved combat system. ![]() Mute character in a game known for lots of extra / optional diolauge, fan fiction level strory and writing (Hi, I'm the main character from the first game, I'm going to be unusually friendly and attentive to you because fans want to see me) and the awefull screeming and grunts that come out of the main character were just too much for me. Everything else was awefull and doesn't feel like a tales game. I cant speak much for the battle system since I was only able to play it for a few hours and if combat is top priority for you, then it seems like a good game based on previous coments. lol, I was cringing within the first five minutes of the game. I wish I could toss that disc into the fires of hell. Początkowo opublikowane przez Kaldaien:Xillia was a good game, Xillia 2 was evil incarnate. ![]() And a general-purpose engine just can't be optimized as well as a custom engine. Also as it's Unity Engine it'll probably not have the greatest performance (so far true for every Unity game i've ever seen). In the end it'll depend on how much time they can/want/will spent on polishing the interface. But am a bit skeptical about how 3D will work out. Looking forward to it, content volume sounds ok. In short, as I said at the start, it's a very good game. Okay I could go on longer but that's probably more than I'd read of someone else's ravings, so I'll stop it here. If Factorio is your baseline for game polish and usability, you'd best resign yourself to never playing another game again. Comparing most any game - most any software package - to Factorio is lopsided. ![]() I know it just went gold this year but we all know it could have easily released years ago. ![]() There is no combat, or life of any kind outside of plants. And the solar power array they gave me to start. I've dozens of wind turbines and maybe 10 coal plants. 8? 6? Something like that number of refineries. Except oil, which I've got 2 pump jacks and. There just simply isn't the need for more than 1 of most things, and more than 2 of anything else. In Dyson Sphere, I'm getting close to leaving the first planet and I've got 2 miners on coal and 1 miner on each other ore patch. you need arrays of smelters making this stuff. you need that in copper just to feed circuits, plus more iron. In Factorio you need 4 red belts of iron plates to feed your factory. Speaking of that, you don't need huge swaths of land to lay out production areas. But for now, a bus is limited a bit by the inability to claim huge swaths of land in which to lay out production areas. Maybe that's something I can do later when I go off world. There is "landfill" but it's expensive and you actually need to flatten mountains to first fill seas, and if you run out of mountains you ain't gonna fill no seas. And water is harder to deal with in this game. My pre-rocket starter base in Factorio would easily wrap all the way around a planet's equator. You can't really do a Bus, at least not like in Factorio there just isn't the room. There are inherent construction and logistic puzzles just like in Factorio. The spherical surface and 3D building options give new opportunities and challenges. It's like Factorio enough to scratch that itch, but different enough to give a new experience. ![]() "PES is dead, replaced by the F2P 'football platform' eFootball".

(Lil Nas X covers these issues, with more depth and artistic fervor, in 190 seconds in his “Montero (Call Me By Your Name)” video.) But you can also sense the filmmaker holding back and trying not to offend even the craven bishop is balanced out by young Monsignor Delgarde (Diogo Morgado, “Son of God”), the savior-in-a-collar required in any movie about demonic possession.Īlso Read: 36 Possession Movies And Counting: Why Hollywood Is Taken With the Unholy Phenomenon Spiliotopolous’ screenplay (based on the novel “Shine” by James Herbert) pays lip service to the idea that miracles can bring as much bad as good into the world, and that it’s hard to distinguish the hand of God from the trickery of the devil. That no one bothers to ask which Mary leads everyone into typical scary-movie trouble, from the people that Alice heals (including her emphysema-suffering uncle) to the diocese’s unscrupulous bishop (Cary Elwes, with an erratic clam-chowdah accent), who sees dollar signs at the prospect of this small Massachusetts town becoming the next Lourdes. Alice miraculously begins speaking and hearing, bringing a message that she has been visited by the spirit of Mary. His careless act unleashes the spirit, which possesses Alice (first-timer Cricket Brown), the deaf and mute niece of Father Hagan (William Sadler), whose church is adjacent to the tree. Watch Video: 'The Unholy' Trailer Offers Sinister Horror Take on Faith-Based Films (Yes, this is another movie where witch-burners are portrayed as correct and virtuous rather than the fanatical misogynists that history has shown them to be.) The woman’s spirit is captured in the body of a doll that is left at the bottom of the tree so that disgraced journalist Gerry Fenn (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) can find it in the modern day and crush it in order to instigate a phony story he’s writing about cattle mutilations for a dodgy website. She’s accused of being possessed, then nailed to a tree and set on fire. The film’s opening sequence, set in 19th-century Massachusetts, offers a woman’s POV. ![]() On top of that, it’s a PG-13 horror movie, which takes excessive gore off the table, pushing the director (in this case, screenwriting-vet-turned-debut-director Evan Spiliotopolous) to replace it with lukewarm jump scares. You’ve seen this one before, countless times, with its superhero priests and seemingly omnipotent spirits who are somehow powerless against containment prayers and quick-thinking investigative journalists. There’s the germ of a provocative idea in “The Unholy” - namely, what if you took a religious-visitation movie like “The Song of Bernadette” or “The Miracle of Our Lady of Fatima” and turned it into a horror movie? Had the film bothered, or dared, to pursue that notion to the fullest, “The Unholy” might be something other than the standard-issue, priests-versus-demonic-spirits thriller that it is. Despite receiving critical praise in its own right, the shadow-dwelling original may have easily passed you by in 2012. The first was the excellent, time-swapping Ninja Gaiden-esque adventure The Messenger, and, of course, Mark of the Ninja Remastered – a remastered port of the original Xbox Live Arcade game. Instead of making new content I wish you would actually remake this into what it could be.When Nintendo had broadcast their Nindies Showcase Spring 2018 presentation back in May, there was not just one, but two side-scrolling indie adventures starring a lead ninja protagonist. If you get the parameters right on where a hiding spot has to be in relation to the range of laser sensor and many thousands of other factors it would become the best stealth game ever made. I'd also like to see these stealth mechanics used with AI level generation. The entire upgrade system could be removed and the game would become much better by just having those stealth kills and items as part of the normal game. ![]() It's like, so a ninja can't handle climbing over a ledge? The smoke bomb upgrade is awful, incapacitating the guards sets off an alarm, that's not an upgrade and made me want to strangle the nice people at Klei for a second. I really appreciate a tightly designed room space, but the way they limit you down to those choices takes me out of the immersion created by the art/sound design. Limiting the amount of items you can carry is boring, it limits creativity for interacting with the world. Most of the techniques you open up feel like stuff he should already be able to do. The other main problem with the game is the skill/item progression. Especially with how she's like "After we kill Azai we'll cleanse the clan", WTF?!, how about NO, how about that dude stops blindly doing whatever other people tell him? The game is too short, I assume because so much time/money went to the story/animations, all to create a lame finish to an excellent game. Blindly doing what some lame hallucination says is stupid, bad writing, melodrama, lame. When I go to kill the imaginary lady, I'm not saying "kill self", I'm saying screw everyone telling me what to do, time for that crazy lady to "die" so I can go do my thing and decide who needs a hefty helping of ninja. ![]() The story is kinda lame melodrama, I think the choice at the end is lame and not at all what I was thinking. This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It's more about the experience of playing the game and accomplishing in-game achievements, or just accomplishing personal ones. Was the ending the greatest? Meh, not really, but it was fitting. Overall, I couldn't find much to complain about. The free DLC content is a very nice bonus addition, as well, adding a little more backstory and forcing you to be a little more creative to dispose of enemies. I found that it's really an interesting one that gives meaning to the things you do in the game. The story was inconsequential to me at first, but eventually I found myself going back to replay old levels while paying more attention to the plot. I prefer to terrorize the guards into shooting each other or falling off the edge of a building, but a swift execution after dangling above them like Spider-Man is fun too. There is plenty of replayability and room to get creative. ![]() Different outfits and tools can be combined to sow the most terror, deal the most damage, or to simply escape from sight as quickly as possible. The gameplay is so fluid and the assassinations so satisfying that there is joy to be found in doing the most basic things. It allows for a lot of experimentation and even during a particularly difficult part of a mission, I never really got too frustrated. One of the best things about it is the freedom and confidence to do just about anything you can think to try-if you fail, you get to try again very quickly with very little fuss. It turns out a 2D stealth game can be fantastic if done right, like this game is. I typically love stealth assassination games, but I was a little hesitant about a 2D one. It turns out a I had so much fun playing this game. ![]() "stealth") routing dropper post with a bike frame that is not specifically equipped for internal cable routing.ĭropper posts are actuated either mechanically, hydraulically, or electronically. Meanwhile, externally routed dropper posts are easier to setup and service. Some bikes are setup for internal, or “stealth” routing, which helps reduce clutter on the bike and reduces the chances of anything getting snagged. There are two ways that these cables get from the bars to the post, internal (inside of your bike’s frame) or external. ![]() Too much travel can put the seat height too high, even when climbing.įeatures Cable Routing: Internal vs Externalĭropper seatposts use cables to connect the lever or remote on your handlebars to the seatpost itself. Subtract 50mm from this measurement and the resulting number is the maximum travel length dropper post you can comfortably run. ![]() To choose the correct travel dropper post, measure from the seatpost collar to the seat rail (in your climbing, or highest setting) on your current bike. The travel measurement of a dropper post dictates how far the post can extend. Likewise, all dropper posts will have a minimum insertion length, dictating how far into the frame the post must sit in order to avoid damaging the internals or breaking the post. 1) you want your dropper post to fit you, the rider, and 2) your dropper post has to fit into your bike’s seat tube.Īs bike geometry has evolved over the years, seat tubes have gotten shorter, and bends in the tube have become more common, so the insertion length is important to make sure a dropper post is compatible with your frame. These measurements are important for several reasons. The overall length is simply how long the post is when it is fully extended, and insertion length dictates how far into the frame the dropper post extends. The next important step in choosing a correctly sized dropper post is the overall length and insertion length. If you're considering making the upgrade, there are several important factors to consider when choosing the right dropper post for your bike. No more messing with quick release clamps, or even more annoyingly, fishing out a multitool from your disheveled pack. With a remote actuation that mounts on the handlebars, these seatposts allow riders to change the height of their seat without getting off their bike. The awesome on-the-fly adjustment you can make to the height of your seat will have you questioning why you didn’t buy a dropper post years ago.
