![]() The Huayra BC might arguably be my favorite car to use for four reasons:ġ. "Supercars should be lightweight, functional, and beautiful." -quote excerpt from Horacio Pagani. Plus the DLC adds some extra races to do so you wouldn't find yourself bored of this game. But you can turn your F1 into the F1 LM or GTR if that's your taste. Not too sure if it's worth spending $5 for one car. The only thing that's stopping this car from beating the RSR is the fact that it's a paid DLC car, but also the car being more likely to spin out as I mentioned before. Also, you might have to engine swap the V12 for a Forged 2.6L I6 for the best performance out there. The car, however, is prone to losing control at high speed corners, so do look out for that. And it's yours to play with for only $4.99 USD.Īnyways, the McLaren F1 is a very good contender to the RSR very good grip, responsive cornering capabilities, good high-speed acceleration. One of the greatest cars ever made, the McLaren F1 holds crown as the world's fastest naturally aspirated car in the world. It's best to stick with dual turbos unless I say otherwise. But some cars can work with the single turbo for more power and hardly any drawbacks. Most of the time, you'd use dual turbos for all race builds. Lastly, the use of which forced induction system for the build varies. If I say otherwise to use a specific variant, then I would label it in the build. Other various parts like the suspension and brakes are equipped with the best variant (elite). I mostly do other stuff, like pictures or customizations.įurthermore, all the cars tested have the same ultimate+ performance parts equipped. I'm not always committed to testing to the very end on this dying game. So if a car is not on here that should be, or if you get outraged for not seeing what you like, then don't argue in the comments about it. Go watch their videos to get a better explanation of vehicle testing.Īs always, these are all my opinion. I took inspiration from ZombieHead3000 on his YT, as well as ISuckatDriving. However I will give credit to where credit's due. The following list of cars were tested by myself.

Once you’ve completed the work, how quickly do you invoice your clients for payment? If you wait too long to send the invoice, you may risk not being paid promptly - regardless of your payment terms. Tweet This How quickly do you invoice your customers? This article from Smashing magazine explains how, by setting pre-agreed “blocks” of work time and billing for these in advance, your client will understand exactly what their money is buying, and you should have a more reliable cashflow. ![]() ![]() If you find that maintaining a steady cashflow is tricky for your business, you may want to consider incorporating a method of agile billing. Tweet This Would you consider an agile billing cycle? Check out this article from Freelance Switch that takes a closer look at the mechanics of asking for deposits, and how to find a comfort zone when it comes to deciding how much to actually charge in advance. You may not be comfortable asking for money upfront before you’ve started any work, but this article argues that without a deposit, you’re assuming 100% of the financial risk of the project. They suggest building this time into your hourly rate, to make sure that you’re paid for allof your work. Tweet This Do you include all of your work in your billing model?ĭo you charge your clients for things like meetings, or hours spent on research? You may have written off this time as unbillable as a client wouldn’t be willing to pay for it, but this blog post from Graphic Design Blender argues that as a freelancer, you probably can’t afford to ignore the time you spend on “other” tasks for clients. The best option differs for each business, so taking the time to weigh up the pros and cons for your own business is a good idea. But, on the other hand, setting a fixed fee could severely affect your profitability if you underestimate how long the project will actually take. Do you charge by the hour or a fixed fee?Īs a freelancer, do you charge an hourly rate, or set a fixed fee for the entire project in advance? While charging by the hour is probably the most common way of billing for freelancing, some argue that it could limit your earning potential and could make you devalue or shortchange the work you do. When you first started out as a freelancer, how did you decide to bill for your time? Since then, have you gone back and evaluated whether your billing strategy is working for your business? This week, we’re looking at different viewpoints about billing and how other freelancers decided to bill for their time, to give you a better idea of what options are out there to consider.

I'm sticking with NHL 20 this year since I already created a bunch of teams on that game and don't want to do it all over again with the exact same creation suite. I guess that's for NHL 22 and next gen so HOPEFULLY we'll se a completely revamped Creation mode next year. ![]() I am hopeful though because of the customization thread EA_bluberry started a month or two ago, where people could add their ideas, and the thread would then be presented to the development team. Seriously, how fun is it to use the EXACT same creation suite for another year? Why not at least add a few small things every new game? So many good ideas have been posted in this forum regarding this but nothing happens. I agree with every word and feel exactly the same way. Why even do it? Why ask for our opinions then slap us in the face? I want to use this thread to start a discussion about what we'd like to see in NHL 22 for creation zone (like I did for 21) but I was told to "chime in" on the mod created customization thread. How do I get a job with EA? I will take on the creation zone. You say that you will "continue to listen" but you only listen to teenage influencers crying about the lacrosse goal not working, not life long customers. I understand you put a lot of work into BAP and that is cool, but fixing creation mode should be SO EASY with very little labor.Ĭan you at least acknowledge this // ? Honestly, just be like dude we don't give a crap about it and I would say okay thanks for the heads up and not get all worked up like this. I understand you had a tough year, everyone did.

The second reason is that the issue (potential problems caused by the presence of ‘aliens’ in the country) is deeply felt in Italy and is a cause of considerable political controversy. This is precisely what our variables measure, albeit only partially and imperfectly. The first is that we do not know fully what people’s internal beliefs are, but we may observe external social behaviour, which serves as a reflection of culture (and other variables, to be sure). While we admit that this may be a misnomer, and that in all cases the variables that we have may at best reveal only part of the general picture (cultural distance between groups), we believe that this may nonetheless prove of interest for three main reasons. For brevity’s sake, we will sometimes refer to this as (revealed, or actual manifestations of) culture. Unfortunately, overlap between the two surveys is rather limited this forced us to use just a few survey questions, focused on what may be called ‘culturally-driven use of time (with a focus on selected items)’. By merging two similar but independent Italian surveys of 20, we try to assess the cultural distance between Italians and foreigners in Italy. The latter approach, the one that we will adopt here, relates instead to the statistical notion of variability, and can be broadly described as an attempt to estimate how likely it is for individuals of group A to find someone ‘like them’ in group B. Groups have their ‘characteristic’ traits, and distances are built. The former, which is a far more widely accepted concept, relies on the idea of a ‘representative’ (e.g., average, or modal) value, such as national culture. The second issue relates to the type of distance to be measured, distinguishing between what we will call here the collective and the individual approach. Despite the relevance of the topic, we do not devote much space to it because our data do not permit us any choice: we must stick to the few variables that we have (Sect. The first regards the definition of culture and its empirical indicators. In the first part of this paper, we briefly discuss the notion of cultural distance, highlighting two separate issues. This issue is of great cultural and social significance, but research into it is still yet to progress because the abstract concepts of culture and cultural distance are difficult to define, impossible to measure directly (they are latent constructs), and hard to measure even indirectly, because the corresponding manifest variables are typically questionable and partial. But whilst these benefits sometimes occur, they seem to materialize only rarely. There are also potential benefits to it: for instance, it attracts curious tourists, helps to address complex problems from different angles, and contrasts the tendency of the world towards standardisation, under the pressure of globalisation. Finally, Italians with a foreign origin are, as expected, close to Italians tout court, which suggests that cultural convergence is taking place.Ĭultural distance is frequently cited as a potential source of problems: it complicates the management of multinational enterprises, reduces commercial exchanges, arouses suspicion and sometimes hostility, and slows down the integration of foreigners in the host country, etc. Second, foreigners are not all equally culturally distant from Italian natives: the ranking of their cultural distances largely conforms to expectation. Results indicate, first, that no group is homogeneous: Italians, for instance, display a clear North to South gradient. We present the methodology under a new light, investigate several of its properties, and apply it to two Italian surveys of 2011–13. In this paper, we argue that a recently proposed method, called DBS or Distance Between Strata, fits this scope. However, it is impossible to ascertain whether this is true in the absence of a clear, standardised system for measuring cultural distance (whether it be by nationality, length of stay, educational level, etc.). The presence of foreigners in a host country is a contentious issue: opponents claim, among other things, that the cultural distance between them and natives is too large to permit integration. After a player survives the first few turns and the AI's overwhelming numbers using protected artillery and terrain advantage, the computer is usually unable to mount a proper defense.īattle Isle was Blue Byte's first big success in Europe. ![]() The AI is relatively weak, relying on mass frontal assaults. Battle Isle: The Andosian War was entirely set in the 3-D environment and combined elements of real-time and turn-based strategies. Battle Isle 3 was very similar to Battle Isle 2, with improved graphics, more units and a new storyline. Battle Isle 2 gave the player the entire screen, and merged move and attack phases, and introduced the 3-D display of combat. While one player moved his units, the other commanded his own troops to carry out his actions. The turns were also divided into move and attack phases. At the same time, those allegiances can change because of some events or actions.īattle Isle one had the screen divided into two parts, one for each player. In some battles there are more than two sides, each with their own objectives, not all of them directly involved in hostilities - some of them can be even allied. In some missions events from outside the battlefield can suddenly change the situation, giving players new objectives, reinforcements, allies or enemies. Players have various tasks, ranging from eliminating all opponent forces to capturing specific buildings or protecting certain units or places. Some of those options were added in expansions or sequels. Fog of war is prevalent and players have to use scouting units to gain information about the battlefield. Weather conditions change, affecting unit movements (for example, a sea or river can freeze, immobilizing ships but allowing light units to move through it). Players also control buildings, where units can be repaired, and sometimes, produced. ![]() Fuel and ammo is limited, and logistics require careful attention. Units have various weapons and can gain experience (which in later games can be transferred over in a campaign). Players not only control the combat units (ranging from infantry and tanks to helicopters, fighters and bombers, armored trains, surface warships and submarines, stationary gun turrets), but (especially in the later games) also many support logistics units (ammo and fuel transports, scout and radar units, road and construction vehicles, and others). The first three games are played on a hexagonal grid for a map. The individual games represent various wars that took place on Chromos. ![]() The Battle Isle storyline is set on a fictional planet called Chromos, whose society is technologically slightly more advanced than that of contemporary Earth, possessing the knowledge of advanced robotics (robots), computers ( AIs) and limited spaceflight (enough to set up space colonies on the moon of Chromos). The settings are wars on a fictional planet, Chromos. Battle Isle is a series of turn-based tactics video games developed in the 1990s by Blue Byte and released for Amiga and MS-DOS and later for Microsoft Windows. ![]() Links and Show Notes: More Power Users: Ad-free episodes with regular bonus segments Submit Feedback The Rogue Amoeba Historic Screenshot Archive DaisyDisk Free up storage space on your Mac - Apple Support iStat Menus Dashboard – 512 Pixels AirBuddy Moom Magnet Display Menu MarkEdit Tot MakePass KeyboardCleanTool Marked 2 EjectBar Broadcasts Name Mangler Menuwhere Downie Tembo 2 ImageOptim HazeOver Quitter Einstein Infinite Mac - System 7Click the "About" Link to run other versions of Mac OS.

The results of this study suggest that leptin and CRP do not differ among different exercise intensities. In addition, post-exercise leptin and CRP levels were not associated. s between leptin and CRP concentrations before and after exercise bouts corresponding to 65% and 85% Vo2max. While there were no significant differences in post-exercise leptin and CRP levels among the different exercise intensities, there were significant difference. Blood samples were collected before and immediately after each trial to analyze pre- and post-exercise leptin and CRP concentrations in the three trials. In addition to the Vo2max test, 13 male subjects (21.5 ± 1.8 years old, 18.5±4.0% body fat, 55.0☓.8 mL-kg-1 -min-1 Vo2max) exercised at two other exercise intensities (85% VO2max and 65% Vo2max) in a randomized order. Therefore, we investigated the effect of exercise intensity on serum leptin and CRP levels and compared changes and differences in both relationships with different exercise intensities. There seems to be a negative association between them, which may differ from the baseline however, no study has tested this assumption. In addition, leptin and CRP exhibit trends (downward and upward, respectively) after an acute bout of aerobic exercise. Although exercise intensity and duration may influence leptin and CRP concentrations, few studies have investigated this. Recently, serum leptin and C-reactive protein (CRP) levels have been regarded as independent predictive factors for heart disease.
