There are different traits, positive and negative, with positive traits being activated when an Interest Group is happy and negative ones when they are… not so happy. Together, the classification and Approval of an Interest Group determines which Traits are active for an Interest Group at any given time, and how impactful they are. There are numerous other factors that can affect Approval as well, such as how you react to certain events or decisions that you take. Interest Groups also have a level of Approval, which is based on factors such as how much they approve of the country’s laws, whether they are in government or in opposition, and how many of their individual members are Loyalists or Radicals (more on those in a later dev diary). The Interest Group’s Clout will determine their classification - Powerful, Influential or Marginalized. Clout is calculated by comparing their Political Strength to that of the other Interest Groups in the country - if all the Interest Groups in Belgium put together have 100k Political Strength and the Landowners have 30k, they correspondingly get 30% of the Clout in Belgium. I mentioned previously that Interest Groups have a level of Clout based on the total Political Strength of their constituent Pops. These Pops are ‘outside the system’ so to speak, unable to demand reform through the regular political system of Interest Groups, and instead having to rely on other methods to put pressure on the government, but we won’t focus on those today. Some Pops have no political strength at all, usually due to being disenfranchised under the nation’s laws (such as people of a religion or culture that is discriminated against, or women in countries that haven’t instituted women’s suffrage). It’s important to note though that Pops are not unified in which Interest Groups they support - individuals within Pops are the ones who decide their Interest Group, and a single Pop can potentially have individuals supporting every Interest Group in the game (in different numbers). The total Political Strength of all Pops in an Interest Group is what gives it its level of Clout - the amount of political weight it can assert on the country and the government. Individuals inside Pops contribute Political Strength to their Interest Group of choice, with the amount they contribute again dependent on multiple factors, the main ones being their material Wealth and the status (and/or votes!) they are offered under the nation’s power structure.įor example, a single wealthy Aristocrat in an Oligarchy will provide hundreds or even thousands times the political strength of a poor laborer. As mentioned, Interest Groups are fundamentally made up of Pops - all individuals in all Pops are either members of an Interest Group or Politically Inactive, with the ratio in each based on factors such as Profession, Wealth, Literacy etc.

The flip side of this design is that it can sometimes be a little tricky figuring out where to go. Since your only concern is the clock and your score, you don’t have to worry about enemies passing you while you wander off. There are giant areas outside of this to explore, and often enough time bonuses and pedestrians to mow down to make a detour worth it. The levels are likewise huge sandboxes, and the circuits you race on merely loose suggestions. Sure, you have to pass through checkpoints and complete laps before the timer runs out, but you aren’t trying to outrun your opponents, who are far more interested in driving the wrong way and T-boning you off a ledge than they are in beating you to the finish line. In fact, Carmageddon is not really a racing game at all, at least not in the traditional sense. Where other racing games are about rehearsed perfection as you lap around a circuit, Carmageddon’s races are pure anarchy. These physics are put to good use, with psychotically aggressive enemy AI, crazy jumps, and even loops. It’s really striking how far ahead of their time the physics in Carmageddon were, even compared to other impressive contemporaries like Destruction Derby. The cars have been re-skinned with better textures, and the whole game benefits from the addition of lighting and shading not present in the original, but the blocky models and chunky textures will certainly remind players that this is not a modern game.ĭespite this, the gameplay itself dates surprisingly well. The gameplay, graphics, and levels all remain close to their original form. The mobile treatment stays very faithful to the 1997 PC game that launched the series. Not only was it a solid arcade racer, but it was a technically innovative game that did a few things that still stand out today compared to its mobile racing peers. The series is often remembered for its sophomoric humor and dreadful console iterations (developed by Titus, not Stainless), and it’s easy to forget that underneath the carnage and camp there was actually a great game. Now, original developer Stainless Games is hard at work rebooting the series, and they’ve repackaged the original on our Android phones to reintroduce gamers to the franchise. Taking a page from gaming’s first controversy, Exidy’s Death Race, it turned the usually nonviolent racing genre into a bloody mess of gibs that would make Duke Nukem grimace, as players chased down helpless pedestrians for extra points. Carmageddon was one of the period’s most notorious. It was during this time that people began to accept that games could be more than just kid’s stuff, and the industry aimed to prove it with a tidal wave of tasteless, hyperviolent, and crass titles that confused adolescent for mature. The 1990s represents gaming’s awkward teenage years. Sixth digit: units of one microDay Represents millionths of a day, and the time between ticks is 0.0864 seconds, equal to 86.4 milliseconds. Fifth digit: units of ten microDays Represents hundred-thousandths of a day, and the time between ticks is 0.864 seconds, equal to 864 milliseconds. Fourth digit: units of one-hundred microDays Represents ten-thousandths of a day, and the time between ticks is 8.64 seconds, equal to 8640 milliseconds. Third digit: units of one milliDay Represents thousandths of a day, and the time between ticks is 1.44 minutes, equal to 86.4 seconds. Second digit: units of one centiDay Represents hundredths of a day, and the time between ticks is 14.4 minutes, equal to 864 seconds. In fact, the digits of the UDT clock have the following values: First digit: units of one deciDay Represents tenths of a day, and the time between ticks is 2.4 hours, equal to 144 minutes, equal to 8640 seconds. Then it will tick over to 00%0000 at UTC midnight.īecause the UDT clock divides the day into tens (every digit on the clock can be a number between zero and nine), none of the digits on the UDT clock represent a value of exactly one second. That is, ninety-nine point nine-nine-nine-nine percent of the UDT day has passed. Just before midnight UTC, the UDT clock will show 99%9999. That is, fifty percent of the UTC day has passed. When the time is 12:00 (noon) on a UTC clock, the UDT clock will show 50%0000. When the time is 00:00 (midnight) on a UTC clock, the UDT clock will show 00%0000. No matter where you are in the world, the Universal Decimal Time will be the same, as it is always zeroed on UTC and does not change with timezones and there is never a daylight saving adjustment. The UDT clock shows the percentage of the day that has already passed, where zero is midnight by UTC ( Coordinated Universal Time, which is centred on longitude zero on the globe). Select Report Settings in the report toolbar and choose the desired display format.The text-only UDT clock cannot be displayed because JavaScript support needs to be enabled in your browser.Select Timecard in the administrative toolbar to open a timecard.Select Turn Administration On from the File menu.You can select how time totals are displayed on reports, when editing entries, and when exporting time totals from Virtual TimeClock. You can easily set the report option for your employee timecards in the Hours & Minutes display format (instructions below).Ĭhanging to Decimal Hours or Hours & Minutes Workers often think about their time worked in terms of Hours & Minutes rather than the decimal format. Note: Never multiply hours and minutes to the wage to calculate wages. An entry displaying 7 hours and 30 minutes is displayed as 7:30 hours. The colon ( :) separator tells you that time is being displayed in hours and minutes. The Hours & Minutes display format reports time as you would read it on a clock. This allows your payroll provider to simply multiply hours to the wage to obtain gross pay. 50 because 30 minutes equals 1/2 hour or .50 hours in decimal format. Payroll hours are almost always reported in decimal hours. An entry displaying 7 hours and 30 minutes is displayed in decimal format as 7.50 hours. The Decimal Hours display format is the default report setting in Virtual TimeClock. When users are unaware of the differences between these two display formats, they question the accuracy of time totals and may even report incorrect employee payroll hours for payroll! Virtual TimeClock can display time totals in both decimal (7.5 hours) and hours & minutes (7:30) formats.

Generals and leaders seem to be more important than in older titles, and the game includes the ability for the traits and abilities of up to three generals to be used in one army.īiographical and playstyle details have been released of the eleven legendary warlords you will be able to play as. Invicta Gaming has released an interesting analysis of the trailer here which includes comparisons to real-world maps and comments on the differences/similarities to previous game maps. The trailer included this zoomed out view of the campaign map: Total War: Three Kingdoms introduces two different modes of campaign play, a 'Classic' version based on the Records of the Three Kingdoms which aims for greater historical accuracy, and a new 'Romance Mode' based on the novel Romance of the Three Kingdoms which portrays generals and faction leaders as powerful heroes with special powers.ĬA's Sun Jian trailer showed views of the campaign map albeit with 'in-engine' shots and not 'in-game'. Diplomacy has been re-worked and becomes a more important part of the game, relationships between characters are described as 'Guanxi' after the Chinese concept. Whilst still featuring the turn-based strategy, factions, campaign and battle-map play familiar from older games in the series, Three Kingdoms aims to be more 'character focused'. 8 System Requirements & Release Details.The game was released on 23 May, 2019 for Windows, Mac, and Linux via Steam. The game uses the 64-bit Warscape Engine that was developed for Total War: Warhammer. Total War: Three Kingdoms is Creative Assembly's 12th major release in the Total War Series, set in ancient China in the Three Kingdoms period, it starts in 190 AD. There are third-party solutions that address both of these issues. Another issue, specifically with Windows 11 on Macs, is that Windows 11 requires the presence of a TPM (trusted platform module) to run and Macs don’t have these. Many people find it inconvenient to constantly switch back and forth between the macOS and Windows. The problem with Boot Camp is that it forces users to make a choice – either you run the macOS or you run Windows. Users could simply dual boot a Mac, starting it up running either the macOS or Windows. This is a utility that allows you to partition your Mac’s hard drive or SSD – effectively splitting it in two – leaving the main macOS on one partition, and then allowing you to install Windows on the new partition. This was a benefit to Apple because it took away one of the biggest concerns of Windows users when considering a move to the Mac – it meant they could bring Windows and their Windows software with them.Īnd, in true Apple style, it came up with an elegant solution, known as Boot Camp. When Apple moved to Intel processors back in 2006-2007, it also brought the ability to run Windows to the Mac because the macOS and Windows OS suddenly spoke the same language (the x86 instruction set used in Intel processors). It’s like having several different Windows machines operating together on your computer.Updated Mato update review of Codeweavers CrossOver, now version 22.

We also study the trade-off between domain adaptation and task adaptation with respect to the amount of labeled data from the healthcare domain, and show that leveraging pre-trained models from other (seemingly unrelated) domains can be useful in scenarios where task adaptation may be ineffective, e.g., when labeled data for the target task as well as its related tasks within the healthcare domain is scarce. More specifically, we consider two scenarios: (i) extract features from a pre-trained network and use them to build models for target task and (ii) initialize deep network for target task using parameters of a pre-trained network and then fine-tune using labeled training data for target task. In this work, we consider two simple yet effective approaches to transfer the knowledge captured in pre-trained deep RNNs for new target tasks in healthcare domain. However, fine-tuning a large number of parameters with a small-labeled dataset may still result in overfitting, and requires careful regularization (as we show in Section 9 through empirical evaluation). Transfer learning via fine-tuning parameters of pre-trained models for end tasks has been recently considered for medical applications as well. Also, it has been argued that transferring weights even from distant tasks can be better than using random initial weights in neural networks. It has been shown that pre-trained networks can learn to extract a rich set of generic features that can then be applied to a wide range of other similar tasks. Moreover, fine-tuning a pre-trained network for the target task is often faster and easier than constructing and training a new network from scratch. For example, training a deep network on a diverse set of images can provide useful features for images from unseen domains. Transfer learning is known to mitigate this: It enables knowledge transfer from neural networks trained on a source task (domain) with sufficient training instances to a related target task (domain) with few training instances. However, like most deep learning approaches, RNNs are prone to overfitting when labeled training data is scarce, and often require careful and computationally expensive hyper-parameter tuning effort. With various medical parameters being recorded over a period of time in EHR databases, recurrent neural networks (RNNs) can be an effective way to model the sequential aspects of EHR data and, in turn, enable applications in diagnoses, mortality prediction, and estimating length of stay. As a result, there has been a rapid growth in the applications of deep learning to various clinical prediction tasks from electronic health records, e.g., Doctor AI for medical diagnosis, Deep Patient to predict future diseases in patients, and DeepR to predict unplanned readmission after discharge. On the other hand, deep learning approaches enable end-to-end learning without the need of hand-crafted and domain-specific features, and have recently produced promising results for various clinical prediction tasks. Traditional machine learning approaches often require careful domain-specific feature engineering to achieve good prediction performance. Electronic health records (EHR) consisting of the medical history of patients are useful in various clinical applications such as diagnosis and recommending medicine.
