![]() The contents of the small file are not easily accessible so could be safely copied to other computers or sent as an email attachment to other Mac users, for example a spouse, as an easy shortcut to just double-click to start the screen sharing.Change the file name to whatever is desired, for example, "Mac Mini Screen Sharing.vncloc" (don't change the extension if visible).The name of the file created will be the same as the selected text followed by the extension, for example, (the extension is normally hidden).Drag it to the desktop or any Finder window and a new file is created.Create the desired connection text in Text Edit or wherever, for example, Select the entire text (without quotes) This is similar to what I've done for years with afp server connections like this: Click and drag the text selection.I just learned it is possible the same way an afp or smb shortcut can be made with credentials embedded: vncloc" similar to a "Web Location" file storing afp, smb or http credentials in a ".webloc" file. There is also the built-in Finder capability to create a " VNC Internet Location" file with an extension of ". Combine this with QuickSilver, and you can open a VNC connection to the server of your choice in as little as 5 key-strokes! If you often VNC into the same computer, you can create an alias in your shell's profile so you don't have to type the command every time. If you, like me, are accustomed to using Terminal for most of your tasks, there is an easier and quicker way: use the "open" command, which is built in to OSX.įrom a standard shell, run open as in one of these examples: You have to open it up, create a new session, type in the URL/IP, and then possibly authenticate. MacOS has a VNC Viewer already built into it. However, using this app directly is often a pain. For the Server Address, type vnc://localhost:5944 where 5944 was the port we forwarded above. All the other box needs is a VNC server, which Macs have built in since 10.4. It lets you remotely access other computers, whether they be UNIX, Mac, Linux, Windows, or any other type of box. Simply logging in with your account credentials is all it takes.įurther, you can now switch to Observe-only mode on-the-fly by clicking the toolbar button, allowing you to pass control back and forth between yourself and a user who is physically in front of the Mac.įinally, last but not least, the new Screen Sharing app now supports Full-Screen Mode in Lion, allowing you to truly go full screen while controlling another machine.Īll-in-all, these are some solid improvements, and I’m thrilled to see Apple paying attention to even the little things in their updates these days.OSX has a nifty program called Screen Sharing. The per-user screen sharing is also cool – this enables you to access any user account on a Mac that someone is using without requiring that user to log out of their account – you can be accessing one account remotely while someone physically using the machine can continue their work uninterrupted. If you don’t see all of these buttons right away, you can add them by right-clicking the toolbar and customizing it. The new toolbar gives you speedy access to the Control/Observe mode, window size settings, screenshots, and clipboard management. To put it short, OS X Lion takes good care of you when sharing your screen between two networked Macs. The new app includes changes such as a brand new tool bar, and perhaps most critically, new per-user screen sharing functionality. For instance, as you can see in the top image, my computer’s address is “vnc://10.0.1.2.” Simply entering that address in Safari will launch Screen Sharing in OS X. You can also access screen sharing by entering your computer’s address in Safari. Once screen sharing is enabled, it can be launched by opening Finder, selecting the Mac you’d like to access in the source list to the left, and then clicking the “Share Screen…” button. To launch Screen Sharing, first enable screen sharing by opening Settings.app, selecting the Sharing pane, and ensuring that screen sharing is selected. While screen sharing on a Mac is certainly nothing new, having been around since Leopard, Apple has added some neat new features to the Screen Sharing app in OS X Lion.

Derived from the Greek, the term archaeology literally means "the study of ancient history". Archaeology has various goals, which range from understanding culture history to reconstructing past lifeways to documenting and explaining changes in human societies through time. Prehistory includes over 99% of the human past, from the Paleolithic until the advent of literacy in societies around the world. Archaeology is particularly important for learning about prehistoric societies, for which, by definition, there are no written records. Archaeology is distinct from palaeontology, which is the study of fossil remains. Īrchaeologists study human prehistory and history, from the development of the first stone tools at Lomekwi in East Africa 3.3 million years ago up until recent decades. It is usually considered an independent academic discipline, but may also be classified as part of anthropology (in North America – the four-field approach), history or geography. Archaeology can be considered both a social science and a branch of the humanities. The archaeological record consists of artifacts, architecture, biofacts or ecofacts, sites, and cultural landscapes. That way I’ll always have the installers when I need them and I don’t have to spend days downloading content.Two archaeologists analyzing artifacts of Strawberry Valley unincorporated community and Forest City ghost townĪrchaeology or archeology is the study of human activity through the recovery and analysis of material culture. However, I prefer to have the hard drive. If you have fast internet and a place to store the installers, then the download version is fine. Keep in mind that KOMPLETE 12 ULTIMATE COLLECTOR’S EDITION is about 630GBs to download! The content is exactly the same as the boxed version, but you will have to download all of the content. So should you purchase the download version instead? In fact, if you watch the installation process from ‘ My Computer‘ you will see each ISO file being loaded as a virtual DVD. You can think of ISO files as virtual DVDs. Native Access will automatically load the ISO files one-after-another, which makes the installation much easier since you don’t have to sit around and wait to swap DVDs. So these days Native Instruments instead includes a hard drive will all of the installers (ISO files). AAX plugins can only be installed to one location and Native Access will put them where they need to be.Īnd the installation process took a very long time! Having to switch DVDs over and over and over was a huge pain! You won’t need to do anything for your AAX plugins if you are a Pro Tools user. It’s fine to leave it to this location, just be aware that you will need to add that path in your VST capable DAW, otherwise you won’t see your Native Instruments plugins in your DAW (Reaper, Cubase, Studio One, etc…) The default location is in the Native Instruments folder on your OS drive. Since VST2 plugins can be installed anywhere, you may have a preferred location that you like to use. If you are using an External Drive, make sure it’s at least USB3, with Thunderbolt or E-SATA being preferred. ![]() But, you could also use an external drive. My preference is another internal drive (SSD preferred). The secondary hard drive can be internal or external. If you are running your apps and samples on a single drive, and recording, you may have reduced performance. Each drive only has a certain amount of bandwidth. You also have to consider the load on a single hard drive. They can be 5GB, 10GB, 30GB+ each! If you ever had to re-install your OS you would be overwriting your libraries. One is that sample libraries are very large. In general, it’s a good idea to install the content to a secondary hard drive. The Content Location is your sample libraries, things like Action Strikes, Abbey Road Drummer, etc… The Applications themselves are not very large and it’s best to install them on your OS drive. You will want to leave this set to the default in most cases. ![]() The applications are the actual programs, NOT the content or sample libraries. The Application Location is where the plugins will be installed. You can always switch it to a different location if needed. In most cases the default Download location will be fine unless your OS hard drive is low on space. If you have the download version, you will have to download everything. ![]() If you have the boxed version, most of the content will be on the hard drive, but there will probably be updates that need to be downloaded. In Preferences you have the option to select the Download Location, Application Location, Content Location, and VST Location.

The Parkers admit to Rae that they were forced to leave Coonaburra to escape the attention. When Matthew found out, he beat up McPherson, earning a restraining order. After further investigation, Rae learns that one of Lily's Coonaburra teachers, Neil McPherson, had sex with her. Catherine and Matthew reluctantly reveal that she merely disappeared for a few days, they panicked and reported, but she soon turned up at a friend's house. While taking their report, Detective David Rae finds that Lily has once before been reported missing. Against his wishes, Catherine contacts several people and finally the police. Matthew discourages her from contacting anyone, as he does not wish the family's business to once again become public knowledge. When the school calls to report that Tom and Lily have not been attending, she once again becomes worried, as a dust storm is forecast to hit the town. He reassures her that they must have gone to school before she woke up. Next morning Catherine oversleeps, and when she cannot find the kids, calls Matthew at work. Half asleep, he says nothing and goes back to sleep. One night, Matthew sees Tom leave the house, followed by Lily. When he can't sleep, Tom sometimes walks around the neighbourhood at night, an activity his parents discourage. Although the family is unhappy with the move, Matthew and Tom blame Lily for forcing them to leave the larger town of Coonaburra. Plot Ĭatherine and Matthew Parker move with their children Lily and Tom to the remote Australian desert town of Nathgari. The film did not have a theatrical release in its native Australia, but did receive a limited release in cinemas in the United States on 10 July 2015 by Alchemy. The film premiered at the Sundance Film Festival on 23 January 2015. The film stars Nicole Kidman, Joseph Fiennes, and Hugo Weaving. Strangerland is a 2015 drama suspense film directed by Kim Farrant in her directorial debut, and written by Michael Kinirons and Fiona Seres. But in its place Keane have crafted another accomplished, warm, and welcoming record, one whose open-hearted generosity of spirit ultimately proves hard to resist. Some listeners will doubtless lament the absence of strangeness on Strangeland (a record whose oddest conceit is to relegate its title track to the album’s Deluxe Edition). The second half of the record is less impressive, but the album reaches a fine finale on the spectral “Sea Fog”, one of the sparest and most haunting moments here. ![]() And “The Starting Line” quivers and shimmers before swooning into the album’s most alluring chorus. “On the Road” is a chunky, rollicking stomp, and entirely infectious. ![]() “Sovereign Light Café” is a nostalgia-drenched paean to the band’s formative years, complete with “sha-la-las”. Yorke-aping moment aside, Chaplin’s vocals remain as distinctive, robust, and appealing as ever, and he manages to give even the most clichéd of the album’s lyrics the commanding fervor of conviction.Īfter a solid start with the chugging “Disconnected” and the elegantly textured, Ron Sexsmith-ish ballad “Watch How You Go”, the album hits its stride at the mid-point with its three most satisfying songs. That Strangeland emerges as engaging and enjoyable as it does despite all of this, is down to the sense of warmth in the band’s interplay and the inviting tone that producer Dan Grech-Marguerat sustains across the record. The musical approach is sometimes derivative too: both the opening track “You Are Young” and the first single “Silenced by the Night” wear their U2-ish leanings firmly on their sleeves, while “Black Rain” is a reverent Radiohead pastiche boasting Tom Chaplin’s very best Thom Yorke impersonation. Although serviceable in context, Tim Rice-Oxley’s lyrics are too reliant upon such generic statements of empowerment here. Those adverse to anthemic uplift would be well-advised to steer clear of Strangeland, which consistently trades in buoyant melodies and lyrical exhortations of the “have faith in brighter days” and “we’re gonna rise again” variety. Heralded by the exhilarating whoops and “woohs” of its first single “Spiralling”, Perfect Symmetry drew – for the most part dynamically - on ’80s synth-pop, adding some fresh textures and an exciting sense of experimentation to the band’s material, sometimes dismissed as worthy-but-dull indie pop/rock in the Coldplay mould.įrom this perspective, the band’s new release Strangeland might seem like a backwards step, since it very much returns the group to the mode of chiming, mid-tempo piano rock established on Hopes and Fears (2004) and Under the Iron Sea (2006). A stylistic step sideways was taken by Keane on 2008’s Perfect Symmetry, their last full-length album.
