File management, with this functionality, is a huge help when used visually vs in the shell.įinder is definitely supposed to be a Swiss Army Knife. Having the ability to grep through large lists of files in list view (or other views if you prefer) is critical and a “no duh” functionality that Apple should have included from the start due to it being such a small footprint and necessary function. That leaves the door wide open for TotalFinder in some of these key areas. I don’t think the developer has been doing too well thanks to a lot of deaf ears in their support department. Path Finder is amazing and blows away both Finder and the TotalFinder additions layer, but it’s been struggling it seems. And honestly, you know what, I love Path Finder. The bottom line is that filtering is indeed a minimal feature. I could see adding a lot of extra logic such as doing something special with FTP could add bloat (but Finder / TotalFinder already supports FTP via the default macOS functionality for FTP mounting… unless Apple removed it? Heck, I’ve not used FTP in Finder for years now anyway and use other apps to mount my SFTP shares, etc.). I have to admit, I was trying to figure out how to reply to remarks without sounding like a total rear and I’m grateful for the points that have been broached.īeing a developer myself and having a bg in cs, I can say that a filtering functionality is not going to add much in the way of bloat. ![]() Well has most certainly hit on a lot of very important and valid points. ![]() It’s not like the app has to load in all of its features into memory at once ( duh) So what’s wrong with adding more? Especially with features like this which are so small. How much bloat will that add to the app? A few subroutines? Maybe a library dependency? If you’re really concerned about bloat that minute, don’t use OS X as you’ll find many common apps far, far, far too bloated for your taste.Įven on top of that, what’s wrong with people asking for more features from TotalFinder? Isn’t it already aspiring to become like PathFinder, etc.? I mean, again, all these sorts of apps are doing anyway is just adding on a random, nice mish-mash of things to the existing Finder app. On top of that, we’re just talking about a filtering feature for crap’s sake. Which is not to say that’s a bad thing, as the Unix philosophy is not always a good rule to adhere to. It’s not like TotalFinder, PathFinder, or what have you are particularly good at one thing and one thing only. You’re sitting there preaching about the Unix philosophy regarding an app whose sole purpose is really to just extend another app with various, rather unrelated features. Wtf? Sorry pal, but your arguments make no sense on so many levels there. Today it’s search feature, tomorrow it’s file compare, next day it’s folder syncing… My humble opinion. I realize people feel that their one feature request is hardly the ‘kitchen sink’, but my point is, where do you draw the line. I would not want TF to become the new ‘kitchen sink’ finder replacement. As reidrik.von pointed out, there are other apps that SPECIALIZE in searching, and other apps that specialize in FTP, and file compare, and folder synching, and so on. ![]() I believe if you polled most TF users they would agree, keep it light, just make sure what it does, it does well and without bugs. I want TF to remain light and fast and focus on the main reason I use it, dual pane side by side display, with a few extras like color sidebar thrown in. If I wanted Forklift or PathFinder, I’d being using it, not TF. TF starts doing this and next thing you know you are headed down the path (pun intended) to being PathFinder want a be, or Forklift. ![]() Other people feel strongly that TF should support FTP/webDAV/, folder synching, file compare and cloud access and on and on. Adding that into TF would probably increase its size and complexity many times over. Search features are not simple there is a lot that goes into it behind the scenes. Some developers fall into the trap of wanting to please everyone and begin adding these features, and what was once a small, fast, app that specialized in one thing and did it well, becomes heavier, bloated mess with a mish-mash of features. It seems whenever an app becomes successful at doing one or a few things, people start wanting to add this or that feature, and of course every person feels the feature on their ‘want’ list is the most important. Although I understand the usefulness of this, I respectfully disagree that it should be added to TF.

A given number of credits equates to the same number of promo-credits. With relation to a standard free or full member, promo-credits are similar to standard credits. Promotional credits, abbreviated to "promo-credits" or "predits" are a second form of currency that is distributed to members by IMVU. The credits are used by members to purchase virtual items like fashion pieces ( hair, clothes, skins, and accessories), pets, and 3D scenes. Credits can be transferred back to IMVU for real-world currency, now as the only option, after the end of the IMVU Re-seller Program. Credits may also be purchased on IMVU gift cards available from retail outlets such as department stores. IMVU contains its own economy with a currency system based on IMVU " credits" and " promotional credits." A third form of currency also exists for members who sell custom made items - "developer tokens," which are earned when a user purchases an item with "promo credits." Credits can be purchased online using actual currency directly from IMVU. IMVU Creators can also create badges, which were made to promote content creators selling their products, features, groups, or anything else related to IMVU for advertisement.

Simonides describes Talos as an automaton, made from bronze by Hephaestus and gifted to Minos to guard Crete (568 PMG). He was defeated due to the piercing of a vein. He was unbeatable, used gigantic stones as weapons and if those did not work, he would use the heat of his body and embrace his victim. In general, Talos was created to protect Crete. The story of Talos varies between those who mention the story. The Talos Principle is a reference to the Talos myth linked to the Argonauts, and it is briefly mentioned in-game as a possible name for the AI as whom the player plays.** In ancient Greek myth, the Argonauts encounter Talos in Crete on their way home from their quest. The first interesting thing to note in regards to Classical Greco-Roman influence is the name of the game itself. The game also contains Judeo-Christian and ancient Egyptian elements, including references to the Book of Revelations in the Bible, God (or Elohim, in this case), and the Book of the Dead.* However, despite this modern concept, the game itself was influenced by classical culture due to the origins of the concept, which will be discussed in full detail further below. The game focuses primarily on the philosophical aspects of humans and machines, hence its setting inside a computer with the player controlling an Artificial Intelligence robot. The Swapper is a philosophical platformer, whose plot is highly influenced by the philosophy between the body and soul. Meanwhile, Jubert brings to the game influences from his previous game The Swapper. It is easy to see how Kyratzes brings the atmospheric horror and philosophical principles of existence from the game The Infinite Ocean as well as the child-friendly gameplay combined with adult story ideas from the game The Sea Will Claim Everything. The influence from these writers is clearly visible when comparing The Talos Principle with their previous work. ![]() The game was created by Croteam and written by Jonas Kyratzes with the help of Tom Jubert. ![]() The Talos Principle is a first-person puzzle game which focuses its story on the philosophical principles of “What it means to be a human being?”, Transhumanism, and Artificial Intelligence. ![]() You slowly also begin finding out that these files were uploaded as a last hope to keep humanity alive after the death of all humans, through an Artificial Intelligence robot. These computer terminals also contain various pieces of texts, emails, log information, which slowly reveal that due to global warming, a deadly virus, which was hidden in the ice caps, has been unleashed and caused the extinction of humanity. He also questions the player on who he believes he is, whether AI can ever be human, what it means to be human, amongst other questions. You begin to complete the puzzles, and it becomes clear that you are an Artificial Intelligence (AI) robot, created to complete a series of puzzles in a virtual world, so that you can ascend and join Elohim.Īs the game progresses, a computer named Milton Library Interface begins speaking to you, questioning you on various subjects such as the reasons for blindly following a voice. However, it also advises you not to climb the tower later in the game, the player realises that it is a tower situated outside the main areas of the game. An unknown voice, who later says he is Elohim, speaks to you, the player, and instructs you to complete a series of puzzles he has created for you (consisting of lasers, pressure pads, “Reflectors”, “Hexahedrons”, Enemies, amongst other features) so that you collect “sigils” and therefore ascend to the next realm. In The Talos Principle, the main character wakes up to find a peaceful but ruined world. ![]() Who qualifies for a tax extension?Īnyone is eligible to file a tax extension, regardless of your income level or filing status. Check your state tax laws some states accept IRS extensions while others require you to file a separate state extension form.

![]() Independent of BMI, the most physically active people reduce their risk of developing CVD by 40%, compared with the most sedentary. Studies indicate continuous periods of sedentariness pose more potent health risks than obesity. Screen time is positively associated with obesity, CVD and mortality. A child born in 2012 will accrue three years of screen time by age 18. 14 Young adolescents spend an average of 6.1 hours each day watching television, using a computer or other smart technology, referred to as screen time. The adolescent playing sport for an hour three times per week is still likely to lead a ‘sedentary’ lifestyle relative to their peers 50 years ago. This cluster of behaviours, characterised by very low energy expenditure, is highly prevalent in modern society. Sedentary behaviour is an independent cause of chronic disease and one in six deaths in the UK. Public Health England (PHE) advise that all children and young people should minimise sedentary time. Sedentary lifestyles and adolescent health 12 The inactive adolescent with normal BMI is at heightened risk of chronic disease relative to an overweight, active peer. Current guideline PA levels for adolescents 4 remain insufficient to offset weight gain associated with today's sedentary lifestyles, highlighting the need for promotion of an active lifestyle and healthy diet. The challenging reality is the common co-presentation of PIA and obesity. 10 It is therefore imperative to increase both PA and CRF levels to offset the adverse effects of inactivity, sedentary time and associated obesity. If everyone had a ‘moderate’ level of CRF, overall mortality would be reduced by about 17%, whereas if no one were obese, the risk reduction would be only 2–3%. Furthermore, active overweight and obese people have around 50% lower non-communicable disease risk compared with unfit normal weight counterparts. However, within groups with similar fitness, the risk is higher for inactive individuals compared with those meeting PA guidelines. 1 PA plays a key role in developing healthy cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF), which in turn correlates inversely with morbidity and mortality. PIA is the fourth leading cause of global mortality. Key initial targets include getting everyone to reduce their sedentary behaviour and be more active, with even a little being more beneficial than none at all. Every encounter represents an opportunity to ask about physical activity, provide advice, or signpost to appropriate pathways or opportunities. ![]() Healthcare professionals caring for adolescents and young adults are ideally placed and suited to deliver powerful messages promoting physical activity and behaviour change. ![]() Worrying trends in adverse physical activity behaviours necessitate urgent and concerted action. Physical inactivity, sedentary behaviour and low cardiorespiratory fitness are strong risk factors for the development of chronic diseases with resulting morbidity and mortality, as well as economic burden to wider society from health and social care provision, and reduced occupational productivity. Adolescence represents a critical period of development during which personal lifestyle choices and behaviour patterns establish, including the choice to be physically active. ![]() However, Bluetooth and USB gamepads and keyboards are also supported if you’d prefer to use one of those (this includes Xbox and PS4 controllers).
