![]() But that's OK in Warband, arrows that didn't find their mark would stick into the ground, or rocks, or trees, or shields. Others opted for a more lightweight option a short bow and single quiver of simple barbed arrows would aid mobility, but you'd run out of arrows sooner. Some longbowmen opted to carry two full quivers of bodkin arrows to pierce armour at the expense of mobility, knowing the skilled pikeman by their side was one of the best in the game, and would never let them be charged down by cavalry, or outflanked by crossbow-carrying monks coming through the undergrowth. The first battle I joined contained around 120 players.Īll were in unique outfits and equipment, some in clans holding shields all adorned with beautiful (player-created) heraldry, some operating silently with crossbows from bushes, some riding sleek destriers and plated coursers past lines of archers whilst shouting voice commands in order to draw fire from the main body of their forces infantry. The first thing that struck me when I first joined a Warband server - other than how woefully unequipped my peasant seemed to be compared to other players - was the sheer volume of people fighting in the same battle. Was it going to be six, eight, maybe 12?!? Don't be ridiculous. The game I was working on at the time was to launch mainly on console, and as with most pre-launch console games with simultaneous multiplayer, various different teams and individuals were working tirelessly to allow us to support a higher number of players when we shipped. Technically absurd, in the best possible way What followed was several years of learning, community, discovery, and of course, enjoyment, which transcend anything I have personally experienced from a video game before or since. "This is the best game ever made," he opened, "but you need the cRPG mod to really play it." I eventually cracked and asked him what it was all about. "*Friend who normally plays really difficult games* has started playing Mount & Blade: Warband." Many times, over and over, for weeks. I came across it how I suppose lots of us discovered games back then: Steam popup notifications. I was around 25 years old, working as crunchy functionality QA on a driving game in a medium-large team. Mount & Blade: Warband found me at an odd time of my life.

![]() You could choose to start your own music school and teach upcoming artists on various aspects of music including playing a music instrument, song writing or vocal projection. We have seen this with the likes of Hellen Mtawali, Achieng’ Abura and Robert Kamanzi who were music teachers tutoring upcoming musicians in EABL’s famed music project, ‘Tusker Project Fame’. With your music talent, why not make some extra money by nurturing the next crop of great musicians in your genre. At a fee, they will monitor to ensure that you are not underpriced and collect your full dues on your behalf, which you can always collect as per your agreement with these copyright agencies. All that has changed with emergence of copyright agencies, such as the Music Copyright Society of Kenya (MCSK), which ensures that you receive the money due to you from the many times your music plays on different for a including TV, radio as well as entertainment joints. In the past, one of the biggest headaches facing musicians in Kenya was they could not get their deserved dues even if their songs got a lot of radio-play. Other events such as wedding receptions or fashion shows also stand out as moneymaking avenues for artists in Kenya. This form of diversification has been informed by the dwindling opportunities in securing concerts in the mainstream industry. These days, live performances for artists do not only mean performing at concerts but also at corporate events including product launches or promotions. Before you know it, you will be raking hundreds of thousands in from ringback tones. The more popular your songs are the better because there are high chances that your fans will want to entertain their callers with these tunes. All you need to do is to sign up with various content providers in the market who will then connect your music to the various telecommunications giants in the market. Ringback tunes, such as Safaricom’s Skiza Tunes and Airtel’s Hello Tunes service have become the next money-making frontier for music artists in Kenya. ![]() You can gain access to this money through CD Baby and TuneCore, which are digital distributors who help you collect your money made on YouTube. A portion of the money made from the advertisements is often given to the rights holders of the music used. Uploading your songs on YouTube provides a great chance to get some extra cash a case in point is when your song features in video ads. This entitles you to a licensing fee for the use of your song in the film production the amount would usually depend on the budget for the film and how desperately the production team wants your song. The in-thing in the Kenyan music industry is to try and get your song featured as a soundtrack in adverts, films or TV shows. Those who purchase these products will not only boost you financially but provide some sort of free advertising by wearing your merchandise. These could range from t-shirts, caps, sunglasses to stickers, which are creatively emblazoned with images of you, your products or popular catchphrases. When going for a live performance, such as a concert or talk show, be sure to carry along some of your physical merchandise that you can sell to those in attendance. For you, this is an opportunity to rake in some extra cash thanks to your musical prowess and established fan base. Aligning with you provides them with the chance to reach these target customers – who happen to constitute your fan base. Companies that are likely to consider sponsoring you are ones that deal in products or services that target your fan base. With an established fan base, you can reach out to various companies who can sponsor you in the form of cash, free products or sponsoring your recording sessions or videos. You could also set up a website where people can visit, sample and buy your music. If you dare dream big, websites, such as Bandcamp or iTunes provide a suitable platform to distribute your songs to people who will pay a certain amount before downloading the album. With the dwindling number of listeners buying hard copies of songs, you can make use of the online platform to make your music available to the millions of people who use the Internet. ![]() The TruLink App works with the Apple Watch as well as the iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch.

They made their Japanesee debut on Jby releasing a Japanese version of their single, Replay followed by their first Japanese studio album, The First on December 7, 2011. Shinee is considered to be a fashion icon having started the "Shinee Trend". They have also won many awards, held a concert tourr and starred in their own reality shows. ![]() Since their debut, Shinee has released three full-length albums, three mini-albums, and various singles. ![]() The group consists of Onew, Jonghyun, Key, Minho and Taemin. They made their debut on on SBS's Inkigayoo with their promotional single, Noona Neomu Yeppeo - Replay (누난 너무 예뻐 - Replay, lit. SHINee’s Onew and Taemin visited Lee Guk Joo at her radio show Lee Guk Joo’s Young Street on June 18 ahead of the release of their new album The Story of Light EP. In this case, the light means spotlight, and it also reflects the team's great aspirations to attract a wide range of fans through pursuing various kinds of music regardless of region or generation. The name "Shinee" is a coined term that added the suffix "-ee" to the word "shine", to be interpreted as "the one who is in light". They are a contemporary group that presents and takes the lead in music, dance, and fashion that fits the current trend. ![]() Shinee SHY-nee 샤이니 Thai: ชายนี่ Japanese: シャイニー stylized as SHINee) is a South Korean contemporary R&Bboy group formed by SM Entertainment in 2008. ![]() ![]() That is not the case and the above example illustrates that - under the given hypothesis - it is useless to report the main effect of stereotype threat. Thus, in this case, the marginality principle would assume that if we inspect and report main effects of gender and stereotype threat, the interaction of stereotype threat and gender is zero. the main effects of two factors A and B are marginal to the interaction effect A*B. Lower order terms are marginal to higher order terms, i.e. Looking for a main effect of stereotype threat under the presence of a significant interaction is a violation of the marginality principle that assumes that all terms to which a particular term is marginal are zero. Thus, it makes no sense to look at the main effect of stereotype threat if an interaction of stereotype threat * gender is present. This will lead to a low average score under the stereotype threat condition because of the interaction, because the female participants score so extremely low unter stereotype threat and account for the lower average. The main effect of stereotype threat is obtained by averaging the performance scores of all participants (both male and female) over the two stereotype threat conditins. The plot indicates a significant interaction between gender and stereotype threat. An error bar plot (lines representing 1 SE) reveals that this is the case: Let's review the hypothesis of the experiment: It assumes that women exhibit a decrease in microworld performance under stereotype threat. It turns out that the decision about which type of sums of squares to use is based on the question whether it is reasonable to report main effects in the presence of an interaction. But why all these differences? What does options(contrasts=c("contr.sum", "contr.poly")) actually do and what the heck are Type-III sums of squares? I surely did not learn about these things at my university. I dug a little deeper and found another line I needed to add to the R command in order to get exactly the same result:Īs you can see, these results are identical. ![]() In SPSS, the main effect of gender is still significant. DESIGN=reasonz GENDER STTHREAT GENDER*STTHREAT. UNIANOVA MWP BY GENDER STTHREAT WITH reasonz However, that is still not what SPSS produces: What a difference: The main effect of the participants' gender on thir microworld performance does not reach statistical significance. I do not want order to matter and adjust my calculation accordingly: In a nonorthogonal design with more than one term on the right hand side of the equation order will matter (i.e., A+B and B+A will produce different results)! We will need use the drop1( ) function to produce the familiar Type III results. WARNING: R provides Type I sequential SS, not the default Type III marginal SS reported by SAS and SPSS. ![]() The player assumes the role of a newly-hired employee at Fazbear's Fright, a horror-themed attraction inspired by the family restaurant Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza that closed thirty years prior. Completing the "Nightmare" night with only the aggressive cheat enabled grants the fourth star. ![]() Other cheats include a radar to track Springtrap and the ability to decrease the length of nights. The cheat menu offers a range of options, including a mode to make the animatronics more aggressive and increase the game's difficulty. If the player completes the "Nightmare" night, they will unlock the cheat menu and a third star. Several Atari-style minigames are also playable within the main game completing all of them unlocks the game's "good ending" and grants access to bonus content as well as a second star. Going through the game normally grants a star at the fifth night. The game consists of five nights, increasing in difficulty, and completing all five unlocks an even more challenging "Nightmare" night. If Springtrap enters the office, he jumpscares the player and the game ends. Failure to keep the latter running can cause the player to momentarily lose vision as well as hallucinate and see multiple animatronics in the building. Some of these animatronics can also cause audio and camera failure for instance "Phantom Mangle" can affect audio as well as ventilation. The ventilation system fails at random, or when a "phantom" animatronic jumpscares the player. The camera and audio systems malfunction after prolonged or repeated usage. ![]() These systems control the cameras, a set of audio devices that can be used to lure Springtrap away from the player's position, and the facility's ventilation. In addition to observing the camera systems, the player must watch the status of three operating systems and reboot them whenever they malfunction. They can seal off the air vents at certain points to block Springtrap’s progress towards the office, but the door or air vent that lead directly into the office remain permanently open. The player must monitor two separate security camera systems, one for the rooms and corridors throughout the facility, and one for the ventilation ductwork, in order to track Springtrap's movements. The game takes place in a horror-themed attraction through which a single animatronic called "Springtrap" roams. Several animatronics from earlier games return as " phantoms" that cannot harm the player directly, but can hinder their efforts to survive the night. However, unlike the previous two games, only one animatronic is able to attack the player and end the game. In keeping with the first two installments, players are tasked with surviving night shifts as a security guard, with each night lasting from 12 a.m. The gameplay deviates from the previous games of the series slightly. The fourth game in the series, Five Nights at Freddy's 4, was released on July 23, 2015.Ī gameplay screenshot showing the player's camera system, with Springtrap visible in the feed The game received mixed reviews from critics, who praised the game’s mechanics, but criticized it for its lackluster jumpscares and for lacking the charm of its predecessors. Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One ports were released on November 29, 2019. The game was released on Steam on March 2, 2015, for Android devices on March 6, 2015, and for iOS devices on March 12, 2015.

You probably hate this answer but the only person who knows whether you should be the first to text is you. If I didn't really feel there was a connection then I wouldn't text at all which might sound harsh but it is better than leading someone on. This would always get a positive response because he will feel appreciated that he done a good job. If I really enjoyed a date then I would text him that night and thank him for taking me out and that I had a great time. As I came comfortable with being on first dates then I came to realize that I would just do what I wanted. My honest answer is that it doesn't really matter and that you should do whatever you feel like doing. No its time to get to the real business of who should be the first to text. Make sure you offer to pay is genuine and he will be wowed by your confidence and independency. This will give him negative thoughts so you would probably be better off not offering at all if you believe that he should pay. Not only that but men aren't as stupid as you would like to believe and he will see right through your genuine offer to pay. The worst thing you can do is to pretend that you want to pay because you believe that he will refuse and pay because you may come to resent him if he lets you pay. To be honest,your date probably won't let you pay but he will remember your genuine offer which will make believe that you are independent and give rather than take.Īs the date comes to an end and the cheque comes, just offer to pay but make sure that you actually can pay and want to pay.
