![]() ![]() As you can see in the video below, Glidepath already creates moving walkways that can accomplish this. One of the rumored features for the Minions moving walkway attraction is that it will be able to turn around corners. That company designs and installs moving walkways, which are used in everything from airport baggage carousels to moving walkways in aquariums and other entertainment venues. The description says it is for “Equipment Installation,” similar to prior documents filed for the project.Īccording to this document, Glidepath Limited is listed as the contractor for this installation. Today, a notice of commencement was filed with the Orange County Comptroller for work to be done on Building 40, the former Shrek building. It will probably be enough for most people who just want to have a little fun, but even the three minutes of the 'Shrek in the Swamp Karaoke Dance Party' are more entertaining than this.Villain-Con seen in Minions movie, Video source Those small moments are references and they work, but other than that there is the 3-D, nothing else. There are some funny moments, but they all deal with the less important characters like the Gingerbread Man, Three Blind Mice, Thelonious and Pinocchio. ![]() What is missing in this 'Shrek' film is the wit and the references to other moving images. Shrek is helped by Donkey (Eddie Murphy) and the real dragon. He has a ghost dragon to help him stop Shrek (Mike Myers) who wants to save Fiona. The story sees Fiona (Cameron Diaz) being kidnapped by the evil lord Farquaad (John Lithgow), as a ghost of course, since he died in 'Shrek'. It seems like the makers thought the 3-D element would be enough to make this watchable, but I think most fans of the 'Shrek'-films will be utterly disappointed. 'Shrek 4-D' is a lame excuse to use very popular characters in a 3-D animation for a theme park. The vocal performances were all fine but it's just too bad they weren't given anything funny to say. The entire thing just felt really rushed and overall I thought some of the animation looked quite cheap. I can't speak to how well the effects were as I watched the 2-D version under the title THE GHOST OF LORD FARQUAAD but I can say that neither version had any good laughs. It seems every single scene is just built up so something could go flying through the air towards the camera or a punch is thrown towards the camera. ![]() I understand the original version was in 3-D but the effects were obviously the main focus and there's no real evidence that the filmmakers were trying to tell any sort of good story. From what I read after viewing this thing, it appears this was added as a bonus on the re-release of the first movie and it seems not too many were happy with the marketing process but the film itself is what really should have bothered them. Shrek 4-D (2003) ** (out of 4) Very weak short has the ghost of Lord Farquaad stealing Fiona so Shrek, Donkey and various other characters must try to rescue her. It's definitely worth 13 minutes of your time, but unless you're a completist I don't think there's any need to run out and buy the DVD. I ended up watching the 2D version on the same disc because you can get a better appreciation for the colors & animation. No real story, but there's a lot of nonstop, fun action, a few funny lines, and the waterfall scene at the end is pretty impressive. The story is about Princess Fiona getting kidnapped while Shrek & Donkey chase after her. Perhaps it's just the difference between theater projection and home viewing, but unless you've got a theater in your house you'll probably be seeing it the way I did. I don't know much about 3D technology, but I know that some recent films like "Beauty & the Beast 3D" (2012) are a more enjoyable because the 3D glasses don't tint the colors so much. I can't say I was dazzled by the 3D (and I was watching on a pretty good 60" screen) mainly because the cardboard red & blue 3D glasses, included, are sorta annoying on the eyes and nose. Clocking in at 13 minutes with no other features on the DVD except previews, this would've been better as a bonus feature on the Shrek movie DVD. You're probably wondering if it's worth renting or picking up on DVD. ![]() But that's probably not why you're reading reviews on IMDb some 10-15 years later. When "Shrek 4-D" premiered at Universal Studios in 2003, I'm sure it was nothing short of amazing. ![]() ![]() ![]() Stephen to provide veterinary services when needed.

Ucluelet is a small surfing town just south of Tofino. How the young of these elusive deep-sea creatures develop is poorly understood, but since August 2018, researchers and visitors at the Ucluelet Aquarium have had the rare chance to watch three baby skates develop inside a mermaid’s purse found by a local beachgoer. The babies develop within the egg-like pouch for up to 11 months. Some species of skates -ray-like creatures which can span up to eight feet across - lay mermaid’s purses to protect their developing embryos.

There are three common use cases that we discuss in this vignette. In this vignette, you’ll learn dplyr’s approach centred around the row-wise data frame created by rowwise (). The database connections essentially remove that limitation in that you can have a database of many 100s GB, conduct queries on it directly and pull back just what you need for analysis in R. All strings (aka words) need to have quotes around them. dplyr, and R in general, are particularly well suited to performing operations over columns, and performing operations over rows is much harder. I noticed that when supplying column indices to dplyr::summarizeat the column to be summarized is determined excluding the grouping column (s). But that drops the cause and deathspergroup columns. This addresses a common problem with R in that all operations are conducted in memory and thus the amount of data you can work with is limited by available memory. You should also notice that summarise() drops all variables that are not listed in groupby() or. cols, selects the columns you want to operate on. The analyst wants a quick list of all of the column names to get a better idea of. Basic usage across () has two primary arguments: The first argument. The benefits of doing this are that the data can be managed natively in a relational database, queries can be conducted on that database, and only the results of the query returned. It contains so many columns that they dont all fit on the screen at once. An additional feature is the ability to work with data stored directly in an external database. We will create these tables using the groupby and summarize functions from the dplyr package (part of the Tidyverse). Here we only summarize data by one categorical variable, but you can group by multiple. Pivot tables are powerful tools in Excel for summarizing data in different ways. dplyr addresses this by porting much of the computation to C++. select by column name dplyr::select(sim.dat,income,age,storeexp). ![]() The thinking behind it was largely inspired by the package plyr which has been in use for some time but suffered from being slow in some cases. creating a new column using mutate, and finally summarizing the data with an. It is built to work directly with data frames. If you need to rename multiple columns at once, dplyr provides two methods. Using tidyr::nest() with purrr:map() we can do the above steps for each small package use case tibble from every respondent.The package dplyr is a fairly new (2014) package that tries to provide easy tools for the most common data manipulation tasks. #> 1 use case 1 use case 3 use case 1 use case 2 Mutate(use_cases = as.integer(str_remove(use_cases, "use case "))) %T>% preview() %>% Separate_rows(use_cases, sep = " ?") %T>% preview() %>% Ignore the chunk in here, I’m just setting up a way to preview each step… `%T>%` %` The tl dr is that in problems like these I like to nest the problematic columns, work on them as if they were a small little data frame using map() and then unnest them back into the parent row or table. refers to what was handed over by the pipe, ie. names of columns that contain grouping variables na.rm: a boolean that. Summarise all selected columns by using the function sum (is.na (.)) The dot. You want to do summarize your data (with mean, standard deviation, etc.). Okay, so I have to admit up front that I'm "cheating" a bit by solving your problem but not answering your question Select all columns (if Im in a good mood tomorrow, I might select fewer) -and then- 3. Maybe I'm missing something…Īlso as a rule of thumb I'm trying to stay away from any superseded functions for future-proofing and let's say manually grouping by isn't an option because I'm dealing with 20+ columns with repeated values in the rows and just need to collapse rows across two columns into 1 cell.Ĭontext/background: I'm working with survey responses from Google Forms and one of the questions was a check matrix/grid, and the way Google turns that into a spreadsheet is by making each row in the grid a column in the CSV and then the values the user selected become a concatenated list of values in the cell. After checking out the colwise and grouping vignettes, I still have no idea how to perform a group_by all columns except two and then summarize those two columns into one.Ġ, "a", "b", list("x" = 1, "y" = 2, "z" = 3), "c"Īll the documentation keeps pointing me to using across() inside summarise() and I looked into using with those and at least that way I can group_by(id) and then use across(!contains("3"), head, n = 1L) to avoid grouping by all the other columns except q3 and v3, but it doesn't look like I can use a two-parameter function that would operate on q3 an v3. ![]() ![]() ![]() Notice the 2 P-90 pickups and the reverse style body design The flat “Platypus” style headstock of a transitional model 1965 Gibson Firebird I in Ember Red A 1965 Firebird I in custom color Ember Red. The Platypus-style Firebird also features 6 in-line tuners rather than banjo-style. Unlike the original Reverse headstock design, which featured a two-layered headstock with a holy veneer, this new headstock was flat, like the bill of a Platypus. The name was coined due to the headstock. The most well-known feature of these transitional guitars is dubbed the “Platypus”. One of the odd, transitional guitars we’ve seen even features banjo-style tuners like you would find on the “Reverse” headstock, but the headstock is actually “Non Reverse” in shape. These transitional models are rare but several different types exist. In early 1965, the original Firebird design began to transition. Unfortunately, sales of this guitar were poor and only about 3,000 variations of the original Firebird were produced from 1963 to early 1965. This was the most expensive option available A 1964 Gibson Firebird VII in custom color Ember Red. This was the least expensive model in the series. However, in reality, Ember is lighter and brighter (think Fender’s Fiesta Red) and Cardinal is deeper and darker (think Fender’s Dakota Red). Meaning, in the image above it is clearly printed that Ember is a darker color than Cardinal. One thing to note, Gibson actually has their red colors flipped on their official color chart. The 1963 Gibson Firebird and Thunderbird brochure featuring the 10 custom color optionsįinding an all-original Gibson “Reverse” Firebird in a custom color is an extremely challenging feat. If you wanted to add a custom finish, you automatically added a $15 increase to your total. This pricing was for the standard finish. Gibson debuted the series with a starting price on the Firebird I of $189.50, all the way to $445 for the Firebird VII. A lot of the custom colors that Gibson used closely mirrored those offered by Fender, some even being made by the same paint company. Firebirds and Thunderbirds were offered standard in a Sunburst finish, however, Ted McCarty also added an option of 10 custom color finishes. It was punchy, young, and above all, uniquely different. It was a radical change from Gibson’s typical guitar appearance. It featured an asymmetrical shape and a mahogany neck that ran all the way through the body, with two “wings” on either side. The series debuted in 1963 and was the brand’s first neck-through-body design. Above: A 1964 Thunderbird II and 1964 Thunderbird IV in Sunburst The Thunderbird Bass was offered as the Thunderbird II and IV, where the II featured one pickup and the IV featured two. Each model shows more intricate appointments than the previous. The Firebird line consisted of the Firebird I, III, V, and VII. The result was four “Reverse” style Gibson Firebirds, as well as two Gibson Thunderbird models in their bass line. Ray was best known for his contemporary automobile designs as the head of design at Chrysler. He was asked to aid in the creation of a guitar that would not be limited by the traditional ways of design and engineering on an electric guitar. This led Gibson to hire a man named Ray Dietrich, an automobile designer, in 1962. Gibson’s Ted McCarty hoped to create an entirely new line of guitars whose curves and custom colors would rival Fender and emulate the aesthetics of the auto industry. This was not only limited to their bold colors but was also mirrored in the shapes and curves of the automobiles. Additionally, the automobile industry of the 60s was booming, so many major manufacturers were pulling inspiration from popular cars. These were not performing well enough to keep up with the demand being met by Gibson’s competitors. In the early 60s, the only other solid-body electrics that Gibson produced were the SG and Melody Maker lines (after phasing out the Les Paul body style of course). ![]() Fender had been successfully targeting a younger generation of musicians doing so with interesting body shapes, bold and bright custom colors, and a broad array of creative marketing techniques. With the turn of a new decade, Gibson was looking to add a new solid-body electric guitar to their lineup in an effort to keep up with other large companies like Fender. ![]() ![]() Thanks to the horizontal orientation, taking pictures is pretty much similar to holding a conventional digital camera. Round the back, the 2008 sports a two-megapixel camera for photos or video. Speed is fair, though it can lag if you have a particularly well-packed contacts list and lots of media. New to the OS is Quick Find, which is a cross-app search tool replacing all the individual search functions. Sometimes we would over-roll and skip over the menu selection we were aiming for it felt more accurate, if slower, using the D-pad. The trackball navigation is not so successful, however, and feels a little imprecise. A combination of great texturing and just the right amount of spacing adds up to very comfortable texting. The QWERTY keyboard has always been the Sidekick's not-so-secret weapon, and the 2008 is no different. Even with the pop-off casings, though, we didn't experience creaks or undue flexing, leaving us confident about the 2008's build quality. Submit a photo or other image at pay $14.99 (or $9.99 each if you order two) and you'll never confuse your Sidekick for anybody else's. T-Mobile went a little bit further this time by allowing users to customize their own shell design online. Many Sidekick users will be happy to find that the Sidekick 2008's shell is swappable like the early Sidekick iD. Manufactured by Sharp, the LCD backlight is strong and surprisingly resistant to sun glare. We found it a lot easier to nudge the screen up compared to the Sidekick LX, and seasoned users will have no problem popping it out using just one hand. The Sidekick 2008 has the traditional screen hinge too a little nudge to the corner of the screen pushes the display panel up and around to sit above the QWERTY keyboard. It's now just 2.6-inches, but it keeps the same WQVGA 400 x 240 resolutions as the Sidekick LX. The real question is whether the name Sidekick will be advanced from feature phone to smartphone.Smaller than earlier models, measuring 4.7 x 2.3 x 0.7-inches and weighing 5.3oz, which means the display has had to shrink too. Stay tuned for exciting updates in the months ahead, which we expect will provide customers with a new and fresh experience.Īs you can see, even in simply ending the lives of two of their popular feature phones, T-Mobile can't help but tease the inevitable release of yet another Sidekick branded device. While we work on the next chapter of our storied Sidekick franchise, T-Mobile will continue to provide our loyal Sidekick customers with product service and support. Here's T- Mobile's reasoning for the decision:Īs T-Mobile looks to further innovate and raise the bar for the next iteration of the T-Mobile Sidekick, as of July 2, the Sidekick LX and Sidekick 2008 will no longer be available through T-Mobile, including retail stores, care, telesales and online. ![]() Unlike the KINs which got the can early in their life, the Sidekick line of phones have had a decent run, and by the looks of things the name will resurface in the future. Yesterday we found out that the KIN was dead and today T-Mobile has notified us that the Sidekick LX and Sidekick 2008 will meet their maker as of tomorrow, July 2. It looks as though this week is becoming the official (no, not really official) week to end the lives of Microsoft cell phones, some earlier than others. ![]() ![]() ![]() Not all items sold at Canadian Tire earn CT Money.

The lands provide an amazing opportunity they contain historic buildings and areas of pristine natural vegetation, magnificent views of the harbour and a record of our city's Aboriginal, maritime and defence heritage. The Harbour Trust wants to create something truly special for these lands - to enhance the harbour and leave a lasting legacy for Sydney. The lands are not to be sold and will remain in public ownership forever. These lands have been hidden away from the community for many years, but will now be conserved for the benefit of present and future generations of Australians.

The tent was a very good size with great amenities such as duvets, pillows, soaps, bedside table which turned into an esky, towels, deck chairs and a lantern. But the best thing I’d say would be the waterfront campsite. The toilets for camping were very well looked after also. We watched the sunset on the deck and they had a campfire going nearby. One had live music in the afternoon and the other was really cool at night seeing the city and harbour bridge all lit up.

We arrived around 11am and did the virtual tour while we were waiting to check in at 2pm. Me and my boyfriend stayed here for one night in one of the waterfront campground site and we were very pleased with what we experienced. The apartment was clean and spacious and included all the amenities we needed for a comfortable stay. The seagulls, however, were loud but this was all part of the experience. The island itself was quiet, we got the impression there weren't too many other guests staying the night. We were given a contact number for the night ranger should anything go wrong, but this was not needed. ![]() We were also able to take audio guides of the island for the whole night, so we could complete the tour after the visitor reception and cafes had closed - this meant we had a relatively quiet experience. We arrived at around 2.30pm - check in was very easy and the receptionist was friendly and showed us where to go. There are no other eating/drinking facilities on the island so this was an essential stop really - there is nothing to stop you getting a ferry into town though after hours. The visitor centre and cafe were closing at 3pm, so we stopped at a supermarket before getting the ferry to the island to stock up on food etc. There are fantastic views from the studio, right across the harbour and all around the island. Ferries also run all day so you don't feel isolated or stuck on the island. The studio is situated directly above the visitor reception/ticket office so very easy to get to from the ferry wharf. It was a fantastic experience and would highly recommend. We stayed for one night in the Fire Station Studio. |
