Europa universalis 4 muscovy walkthrough12/31/2023 ![]() If the kingdom can be united by a strong ruler, and the Reconquista completed, Castile will have a fearsome military force in its hands with a long tradition of fighting for the expansion of the Christian faith. ![]() Factions acting entirely out of their own interests have not shied away from supporting foreign pretenders from Portugal and Aragon in the past. The Castilian Nobles and the local Cortes of the various constituent kingdoms still hold a large degree of power and many Trastámara kings have found themselves at the mercy of the estates of their kingdoms. Surrounded on all sides by Castilian castles it seems to be a matter of time before the Reconquista is brought to its logical conclusion and the kingdom is annexed.įor now however Castile has problems of its own. What remains of the Moorish presence in Iberia is now restricted to the southern kingdom of Granada, still a rich Muslim sultanate in many ways but also marred by infighting and the frequent border skirmishes with Christian raiders. I formed Russia using Muscovy a while ago (went from strong to a damn beast) and didn't have any change in government, but I don't know if it was because they use the same or because the decision makes it mandatory as Russia.Shaped in the battles of the Reconquista, the Crown of Castile is in fact not just one kingdom but a union of the kingdoms of Castile, León, Toledo, Galicia, Murcia, Jaén, Córdoba and Seville under the Castilian branch of the Trastámara dynasty. ![]() ![]() It is easier to decide the firsts steps without messing things up, or at least not too much if you are still not good.Ībout Novgorod, I'm sorry but I haven't played with them, so I can't help about the decisions and the government. Neither is a problem to spend a good time taken a very close look at your own country at the start, as the neighbouring ones, the close ones for potential alliances, the culture groups of your zone, mission tree, decisions, etc. Sh.it happens sometimes, especially when RNG is involved. Your situation and the one of your surroundings must be the way to make decisions.Ī part from that, there is no shame on having to restart a game. So those videos to get a general idea so you can figure early things while playing: Good. I don't think trying to follow them is good regardless of the creator (there are some very good players on youtube, and no, I don't consider Ludi one of them, Zwelik or Quarbit -probably wrong written- are better, to name a couple) because after the first year, which tends to be pretty similar, things change and more time means more changes and due to the player intervention even more. I'm a meh player myself, but at this point I have learnt that if you have a good ally, or several smaller, the AI is going to wait to declare on you, mostly when you are in a weak moment (exceptions exist, by the way). But I do have a lot of extra governing capacity to last me. Not used to reading the fine print on these merchant reforms and their thorny little side effects. They should maybe make that clear in the description? I can still change to monarchy when I form Russia later, right? I didn't realize the Veche reform keeps me at Duchy. A couple years later Poland rivaled them, and suddenly we were allies and I was attacking and beating the crap out of Moscow! Made mistakes though, forgot to take the Perm mission land and somehow Kazan vassalized them in a weird war with Muscovy, gobbled a lot of decent Southeast Muscovy land while I was blitzing Denmark, and with Uzbek and non-Otto decision Crimea allies is gonna be a tough nut until their horde luster fades.īut I guess taking the Doge-centered reform ended all elections? That's lame. I hate games where I start by going like 6 loans into debt.īut no, even though I just allied Scotland and Ryazan and some other weak nothing, Muscovy never attacked. I almost didn't try it because the Ludi guide made it sound really annoying.

Fujifilm frame mirrorless camera 202012/31/2023 ![]() Personally, I think the AF score gives you a more realistic representation of how much the camera can be trusted. Considering that wildlife is often about capturing difficult moments that may not happen again, many photographers will prefer to have more images on the SD card and that is a fair assessment.

Events courageous conversations about race12/31/2023 As such, this guide lays out the key advice, options and considerations for people professionals to bear in mind when having conversations about race in the workplace. People professionals are ideally placed to help enable these conversations. But, while they have the potential to become divisive, if handled sensitively, they can prove to be liberating, and help to connect people as they explore lived experiences, understand the historic and current context of race, whilst committing to work towards a fair and equal society together. Our relationship with race is teemed with pain, inequity, injustice and discomfort, and so these conversations can evoke strong emotions. With such a far-reaching societal impact it’s of little surprise that the conversation about race has made its way into the workplace. Fielder points out that while there are many active discussions of these topics on campus, they are often hosted and attended by ethnic and cultural groups. One goal of the event, Courageous Conversations, was to draw a wider audience into discussions about race. People have been learning about the realities and lived experience of many, and as they do, they are experiencing feelings of guilt, anger, fear, confusion and sadness. Glenn Singleton engages students in 'Courageous Conversations' about race. The killing of George Floyd and the Black Lives Matter protests brought into sharp focus the extent of racial disparity across all walks of society, and introduced less familiar concepts such as anti-black racism, allyship, anti-racism, white advantage and black lives matter. They will discuss the lasting legacy of racism and injustice on. Race and Injustice, along with Adjoa Jones, Shamiesha Johnson and Jadah Parks Chatterjee. We will be speaking with creative artists who have turned their storytelling gifts towards the journey of parenthood. ![]() The importance of inclusion and awareness of race disparities in the workplace are not new subjects for most. Join us for our first Courageous Conversation event of 2022.

The effect of binaural beats on visuospatial working memory and cortical connectivity. The interpretation of random-effects meta-analysis in decision models. References preceded by an asterisk indicate studies included in the meta-analysis.Īdes, A. Our meta-analysis adds to the growing evidence that binaural-beat exposure is an effective way to affect cognition over and above reducing anxiety levels and the perception of pain without prior training, and that the direction and the magnitude of the effect depends upon the frequency used, time under exposure, and the moment in which the exposure takes place. Time under exposure contributed significantly to the model indicating that longer periods are advisable to ensure maximum effectiveness. Moreover, the findings suggest that binaural-beat exposure before, and before and during the task produces superior results than exposure during the task. Meta-regression results indicated that it does not seem to be necessary to mask binaural beats with white noise or pink noise in terms of effectiveness, obtaining similar effects with unmasked binaural beats. The results, based on 35 effect sizes, showed an overall medium, significant, consistent effect size ( g = 0.45). Twenty-two studies met our inclusion criteria for this meta-analysis. The objective of this meta-analysis was to study the effect of binaural beats on memory, attention, anxiety, and analgesia. It has been suggested that binaural beats can influence cognition and mental states among others. Binaural auditory beats are a perceptual phenomenon that occurs when presenting separately to each ear two tones that slightly differ in their frequency.

ICalamus instal the new for ios12/31/2023 How the iPhone 15 Pro captures spatial video. The 3D effect, which is highly compelling when you see the videos played back on a Vision Pro, is created by shooting video on two of the iPhone’s cameras at the same time, the Main and Ultra Wide lenses. They have a wow factor which, I suspect, will lead some potential customers to reach for their credit cards as soon as they’ve seen them.Īpple has more details of how the recording will work, explaining that they are captured at 1080p resolution, at a frame rate of 30 frames per second, and with standard dynamic range. ![]() Apple’s senior vice president of worldwide Marketing, Greg Joswiak, describes these videos as “magical.” Although Apple, like most companies, can tend towards hyperbole, I’d say there is something really extraordinary about these videos, which I saw in a demonstration of the Vision Pro some months ago. In a Newsroom post, Apple specifies how the two latest Pro handsets are now capable of recording spatial videos, describing it as “a groundbreaking new capability that helps users capture life’s precious moments” and watch them back on the Apple Vision Pro when it’s released next year. Alongside the release of the update, Apple has set out lots more details about spatial video capture on the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max. ![]() With big new features like Journal and so many smaller details, this is a big update.ĭecember 12 update. MORE FROM FORBES Apple iPhone iOS 17 NameDrop Causes Security Panic: Should You Be Worried? By David Phelanĭefault notifications sounds can be customized to a greater degree-something previously restricted to texts, mail and calendar alerts. There’s also Qi2 charger support for the iPhone 13 and iPhone 14, which haven’t had it until now. Similar to NameDrop (which is entirely secure, despite the furor that arose last week about it), you can now share boarding passes or movie tickets just by bringing two iPhones together. Typing messages, or anything else, is updated so you can turn off predictions inline, although personally I love that feature. There are improvements to Messages, including body shape customization in your Memoji, stickers to add to messages as reactions, and security improvements to protect against spyware. You can now set it to Translate, making it easy to have conversations in foreign languages without even having to open an app. These videos will play back in 3D on the headset-I’ve seen these videos on the headset, and they look amazing-but just regular 2D on the iPhone.Īlso on the iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max only, there’s a new shortcut for the Action button, which replaced the Mute/Ring slider of previous iPhones. With this update you can shoot spatial video on the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max. Talking of integration, with this release Apple AAPL has added the capability to shoot video in a particular way that will integrate with Apple’s next big product category, the Apple Vision Pro headset. It’s designed to help improve your wellbeing and is stunningly integrated into the iPhone, all securely encrypted to help your private entries stay for your eyes only. Chief among these is the new Journal app, which helps you write about the stuff that’s happening to you. Unlike the last couple of updates, which were all about bug fixes and security measures, iOS 17.2 has lots of new features as well as the customary bug-squishing effects.

Exercise for endurance and strength12/31/2023 ![]() Tip: There are many varying levels of burpees and although trainers tend to be quite trigger happy when adding them into workouts it's important to perform the full movement correctly. Soften the knees and land before returning to an upright position and repeating the movement. From that position perform an explosive press-up and jump your legs forward to propel your body into a squat before jumping into the air. As your palms land, kick your feet back to end up in a plank position, lowering your chest to the ground in one fluid motion. How to do it: From a standing position, move into a squat as you lean forward and lower your hands to the floor. Muscles worked: Arms, chest, quads, glutes, hamstrings, abs – pretty much everything. Not only do they work an enormous range of muscles and help to train things like proprioception, but for building overall stamina there aren't many movements that'll see you developing as quickly. Sorry, we know you didn't want us to bring it up but there's a reason trainers like throwing in burpees to workouts so much. To build stamina you should be aiming to carry out the exercises for 45 to 60 seconds, increasing the time as you progress.
