Summon Hellhound Tier III Strategic Spell (Summon), 180 Research, 70 Mana + 9 per turn Instead, consider starting as a race that enjoys Tropical or Volcanic climates (Draconians, Tigrans, Humans, Halflings, and Orcs), as they tend to start in these regions in random maps, ensuring you can get value out of your spell while not hamstringing yourself in the process. No more angry elven guards in an otherwise happy elven city!), you run the risk of running out of mana or having the spell disjuncted, leaving you with a very unhappy city. While this spell can be used with races that normally hate these climates (And since the 1.5 update, now boosts the morale of your garrisoned units, too. While this makes it much more generally useful in a vacuum, it does cost +10 mana both to cast and per turn for that benefit, making it a far more expensive investment overall. Machines, Undead, and Magical creatures are unaffected.Ĭompared to its Frosty equivalent, Domain of the Sun provides morale bonuses for two types of terrain rather than just one. Target Friendly City and Units within that City's Domain, now like Tropical and Volcanic terrain. It's best used when it will have an immediate impact cast it on a strong unit just before hitting it with a lot of small damage from multiple sources, a powerful debuff (the lower resistance means things like Charm or Stun are more likely to work), or obviously anything that deals a lot of fire damage.ĭomain of the Sun Tier III Strategic Spell (City Enchantment), 180 Research, 70 Mana + 30 per turn That being said, Skin of Oil still has the issue of being a spell with no direct impact the time you spend casting this could easily be spent on another Fireball instead, and if you don't capitalize on its effects it can easily be dispelled or ignored entirely. Combined with its very low mana cost, the end result is a surprisingly useful spell in a large number of situations. ![]() 2 to all stats is quite annoying even to high-tier units, and 60% fire weakness synergies very well with units who deal fire damage.

That being said, my recommendations for each element are merely my opinion almost every combination can be quite playable and have their own advantages. ![]() This guide is meant to go into greater detail for each spell, compare how they match up to one another, and to see what kind of role I feel each best serves. Furthermore, while the Tome of Wonders is an incredible resource, a lot of its text is misleading or not fully explanatory of what each spell is capable of. While specializations have lost a bit of their clout from this, they still fill an important role of customization and can greatly augment how you play the game. Age of Wonders III differs from its earlier iterations in that it has a much greater emphasis on your leader's Class rather than his specialization. They were the source of most of your abilities and magic, and let you tailor your leader into whatever role you saw fit. In the previous Age of Wonders games, your specializations were what defined your character. ![]() 7/31/2023 0 Comments Falling hearts imvironment![]() We see an incident evolving over time, starting in the office and ending on site. In the second part of the video, the importance of every step in the process is explained. This part ends with a moment of silence for all victims of lifting and hoisting incidents. How are things organised at your worksite? Do all understand their role, and do they know the barriers they are responsible for? Is everybody aware of the situation, before work and during execution? Examples of industry lifting and hoisting incidents are shown. Use this video to reflect on everyone's role. The person in charge of the lift, the crane operator, the banksman (flagman or signaller), the lifting and hoisting experts: all have crucial roles to fulfill. Only as a team, and with clear roles and responsibilities for each team member, we can lift safely. Energy Institute provides two tools to help you facilitate reflective LFI sessions: Reflective learning sessions need to be facilitated. Reflective LFI videos and facilitator guides A high quality discussion requires a facilitator that can guide participants through the learning process and maximize the potential for behavioural change. The crux is not to provide the answers, but to pose the right questions to guide people through their own learning process. The video and supporting materials are designed so the target audience can easily understand and make an emotional connect to the incident(s). Reflective learning caters for different styles of learning (reading, listening, watching, discussing) and research has shown that via this way the opportunity for learning and actual behavioural change (behaviours that will actually prevent us from making the same mistakes again) is maximised.įor each theme the key dilemma and learning points of the reflective learning session are carefully selected by safety discipline specialists, psychologists and communication experts. This is only effective with a limited number of people and is mainly focused on transferring information. The engagement styles that have been used traditionally for sharing learning from incidents only focus on 1 or 2 learning styles (reading and listening). NOTE: A Reflective learning exercise is not about watching a video, but it is about the engagement and reflective discussions with colleagues. In the group discussion attendees reflect on ‘how can similar things happen at their site’ and their own behaviours ‘what can I do differently to prevent a similar incident ’. Reflective learning is a face-to-face facilitated group discussion, supported by simple and engaging materials (to make the emotional connect). Through a structured facilitated engagement session participants reflect on incidents and their own behaviours. It is a learning method that is aimed at personal reflection and individual change. Reflective learning is a method that focuses on behavioural change. In short, reflecting means engaging with information about an incident (an LFI alert, video, report, etc.) and taking time to make sense of it and decide 'what it means to me'. We need to make sense of an incident and decide for ourselves what it means for our own work. Reading an LFI alert usually is not enough. Few people remember details, but we are much better at remembering stories and experiences. If you read something - in a book, in a newspaper, or on an LFI alert - even if you found it very interesting at the time, it is likely that you will forget much of what you read within a few days or weeks. ![]() However, research finds that most organisations miss a key step to help people learn: we call this reflecting. Organisations' LFI processes follow a similar lifecycle. LFI alerts are often low quality (too wordy, too complicated) and distributed via email which is mostly 1 way communication with little interaction or opportunity for reflection. LFI process modelIn order to prevent repeat incidents we need to learn in a different way. ![]() Reflective learning from incidents engagement videos ![]() 7/31/2023 0 Comments Best torrent client for mac 2018![]() While it lacks some features that other more comprehensive clients have, like DVD-burning capabilities, BiglyBT has everything you need to share content online quickly and easily. It originated from the Vuze/Azureus open-source project in 2003 but made its debut in 2017 and is entirely open source and ad-free, which is a benefit few torrent clients can boast. BiglyBTīiglyBT is an offshoot from the Azureus torrent client and the youngest one on this list. If you’re concerned about privacy, it should be noted that this is one client you want to run a VPN with when using. There are also detailed breakdowns of your bandwidth usage and an event logger that helps you stay on top of everything that the client and your chosen torrents are doing. Tixati provides in-depth and comprehensive data on the peers that you’re connected with, from the amount of data you’re sharing with them to their likely location based on their IP address and the priority you’ve set them in your sharing schedule. Still, it’s where it goes beyond that helps separate it from some of the alternative clients out there. It supports all the essential primary functions of a modern torrent client, like magnet links, connection encryption, and event scheduling. It might look retro compared to some of the other torrent clients on this list, but Tixati is one of the most fully-featured. That makes it an excellent tool for a download and distribution server, as well as a standard torrent client for individuals on their home system. You can let it run in the background or control it remotely. ![]() Some of those - like notifications, IP blocklists, Scheduler, and Extractor - come built into Deluge’s current version, but many more third-party options are available.Īs it downloads, Deluge functions entirely well as a desktop client, but it can be run as a service instead. But if you want some of the more advanced features, you can heavily customize Deluge to your liking by using its expansive range of dozens of plugins. ![]() It’s lean and quite bare-bones with its base installation, which is perfect if that’s all you need. ![]() DelugeĪnother free and open-source torrent client that we’re big fans of is Deluge. However, it does tend to favor more experienced users compared to beginners, who may need to spend a bit of time learning the extra features. It’s a finely tuned balance, and the software works well across these major platforms: MacOS, Windows, Linux, FreeBSD, and OS/2. You can also choose to give any torrents top priority, create torrents from your own files, and more - without losing speed or becoming too confusing in the process. There are plenty of features to love here, like the in-app search engine for locating specific files, a bandwidth scheduler, and support for extensions including those for private torrents and encrypted connections. Totally ad-free, qBittorrent is focused on functionality for frequent torrenters. It should be noted that torrents are sometimes used for illegal piracy, and Digital Trends does not condone that use in any way. ![]() 7/31/2023 0 Comments My aha moment![]() ![]() I also know why my cancer-surviving friend chose me over the advice-givers who surrounded her. Next time, I will invite her to talk more, then or later. I now realize why it hurt to have my troubled friend gloss over her issues: It made me doubt she trusts me. We need to clear our minds, open our ears and hearts, and be human with the humans around us. Modern expedience has negative consequences on human relationships and mental health. When we feel our feelings and process them, it helps us solve problems. Looking at the negative is still important. Back when life-or-death situations were more common, easy-going early humans were less likely to pass on their genes than those who were vigilant. Goodman relates how people are wired to be negative. We want to choose wisely with whom we share a lot, but we should recognize life’s problems and work through them – which often means sharing them – instead of ignoring them. We also need to be willing to represent our not-best selves on social media and in the world at large. We need to cease offering platitudes (like “It could be worse.”), which are basically a way to shut down conversation and signal that the person who is trying to express grief, frustration – a “negative” emotion – should shut up. We need to stop and listen to other people without making comparisons to our own experience. Society tells people living in unfavorable circumstances to avoid being “negative.” If they are unhappy, the implication is they are not trying hard enough. She calls it “survivor porn.” Focus on these success tales is a non-acknowledgement of the struggle with circumstances and the social order. For instance, we focus on stories of people who cheerfully, bravely combat a debilitating injury or illness. She writes that success stories among these populations are popular. She also lists people who have historical, societal disadvantages: being female, non-white, non-binary, gay, having a disability, living at or below the poverty line, etc. Goodman recognizes that people with chronic illnesses – like me – struggle because of toxic positivity. I have a family member who is struggling with many things lately, and I have been guilty of pushing the “positivity” concept of gratitude journaling and being discouraged by this person’s failure to “move on.” I have not been patient, and have pushed a trend I don’t like. Goodman’s insights helped me identify how frequently I hide my emotions from the world – everyone – because I feel I would be condemned for being so “negative.” Why? This book verbalizes concepts I feel have been missing in social discourse. Last month, in MPL’s new non-fiction titles, I spotted a book titled Toxic Positivity: Keeping It Real in a World Obsessed with Being Happy by Whitney Goodman Instagram), a psychotherapist. I felt uneasy about my lack of advice, but after her first two years of remission, I was one of the few people with whom she stayed friends. Long ago, I felt I “dumbly” listened to a friend as she cried to me upon being diagnosed with breast cancer. At the time, we just changed the subject. I couldn’t put my finger on why this bothered me. Recently I found myself stunned into silence by a friend who declined to share her troubles with me, instead making veiled references to them. ![]() 7/31/2023 0 Comments Vagrant story tv tropes![]() ![]() Released on: Famicom (JP, Wii (JP), Nintendo 3DS (JP), Wii U (JP)), WonderSwan Color (JP), PS1 (PSN), GBA, PSP, Mobile, PC, PS4, Switch.Introduced the concept of guest characters joining the party, including the series' very first Dragoon.

It had been founded to counteract the USSR. Before the war began, NATO was an organisation without a purpose.There is pressure to spend more on ‘green’ energy – even though this doesn’t work. As I predicted two years ago, hundreds of millions in Asia and Africa will die. Many people cannot afford to stay warm and to eat. (The Americans bombed the pipeline in a deliberate attempt to deprive Europe of cheap Russian gas, to force European countries deeper into the war and to help sell American LNG to European countries.) Energy prices have fallen temporarily but will rise again next winter. When the Americans bombed the Nord Stream pipeline, the cost of gas rose even more. Energy prices soared as absurd sanctions against Russia resulted in the price of oil and gas in Europe rose dramatically.Here are some of the changes that have resulted as a direct consequence of the entirely artificial World War III which we are now all involved in – to save a country (Ukraine) which few people knew anything about a year ago and about which few people now care for more than they care for other countries which are involved in wars (Yemen, Congo, Syria, etc.). You will not be surprised to hear that the changes have all been to the advantage of the conspirators and have pushed us closer and closer to the Great Reset. The conspirators have created a designer war and are now using it to their advantage. The designer war which the American led NATO forced us into fighting has changed the world dramatically and the world is now well and truly screwed. ![]() 7/31/2023 0 Comments Pro tools for mac student![]() ![]() You can find the terms of the single-user license here and the terms of the site license here.

Others - a Ricky Martin deep cut, some Brazilian baile funk and even a K-pop track - might be new surprises for the casual listener. And certain songs, like Eminem’s “Till I Collapse” (Spotify’s most popular workout-related tune for four years in a row), Kanye West’s “Stronger” and Survivor’s perennial classic “Eye of the Tiger” remain favorites across the board. ![]() ![]() As Cook says, “every person’s different, and every person’s going to listen to different types of songs when they’re working out.” But certain things are nearly-universally appealing, like hip-hop jams. The end result: a list of 50 of the songs that are best used for motivating you while working out - whatever the activity, from running to weight-lifting to getting in your crunches. We sorted through hundreds of tunes to select the critical picks that help us get our hearts pumping at fitness classes or while working out solo. It opens to a romantic black and white shot of a woman and her boyfriend, before slowly devolving into more and more madness punctuated by Max assuming the role of various horror-movie-inspired characters.“Getting on a treadmill or a bike or going for a run is a very solo activity, so having an artist sing to you along the way can be reassuring,” Spotify’s trends experts Shanon Cook told TIME about the popularity of music in getting people going with their fitness routines.”Music can help you find your rhythm or help you set your pace.” From motivational lyrics to driving beats and tunes that bring back good memories, it’s no secret that music has power in helping you stay on track. The music video is like a slasher movie that accidentally had a pop song spilled into the mix. Max said she wanted it to be a theatrical experience, and she definitely delivered on that front. Though the anger is still misplaced, it’s a little easier to see why the music video raised more concerns. ![]() One of the other main gripes with the mental illness theme that detractors had was in fact not with the actual song itself or the lyrics, but with the music video that accompanied it. The complaints never really took off or did much to dissuade people from enjoying listening to the song or make any real dent in the number 1 spot that the song had managed to achieve in multiple charts. Regardless, a variety of organizations and media outlets were at the song’s throat over the apparently harmful or negative content of the song, interpreting the lyrics far differently than what their author had intended. Of course, hearing Max talk about it, and reading the lyrics for yourself, it’s fairly clear that the purpose of the song wasn’t to have some sort of unnecessary jab at sufferers from mental health issues. Part of the controversy surrounding both the title of the song and the lyricism contained within it related to this, through the usage of the word ‘psycho’.

Two years of, “Sweet but Psycho.” !!! Thank you so much for sticking by my side through thick n thin. The song is not about one person in particular, even though at times it can sound like the lyrics are a warning about an individual who is dangerous. She and her hit song have been the subject of many an interview, where she speaks in detail about the overall meaning of the song. Whether it’s due to the controversies surrounding the song, the fact it was not only her first big studio release but her first hit, or that she simply has a close connection with the lyrics of the song, Max has been very informative about the meaning of the lyrics. Ava Max | lev radin / Īlthough some might label the usage of the word ‘psycho’ as a provocation towards mental health issues, Max has stated numerous times that the intended meaning of the word was nothing to do with those issues. The meaning of the song has been spoken about at length by Ava Max herself.
