![]() Megara Entertainment released app versions of the first two books, which add images and music, and change the content a bit (a little bit of new text, some new items and whatnot). The six books that presently exist, written in the 90s, are, I agree, absolutely great, and are probably the most open-ended (and absorbing) pen-and-paper gamebooks ever written. (Sorry to blow my own trumpet, here I so rarely get a chance to…) Ooh, there’s a Fabled Lands / Choice of Games connection, in fact - which is me, because I’ve written a couple of CoG games (ORPHEUS Ruse, MetaHuman Inc.) and I’m currently working on the new Fabled Lands book, the seventh in the series. below informs me that the next book in the series is being written, and close to being completed, by him! Yay! Good RPGs are worth supporting. Originally I wrote: “I also read that the original author had plans to write the rest of the books (only six of twelve were ever written), but that plan never seems to have materialized.” I haven’t even explored half of absolutely everything there is to do yet, and I played it for days straight while avoiding work I should actually do! Yay for escaping into fantasy worlds to avoid the unending drudgery of life! Alternatively, amazon sells the original books in kindle and paper editions. Doesn’t require friends or the social interaction of DnD but offers the same kind of adventure! Oh boy!Īpparently there is (or was) a “Fabled Lands” mobile app from the original author, but I think it’s only for a few of the books. If I was old enough in the early 90s, I’m sure this is exactly the kind of game I would play. ![]() I’m sure there are people on this forum who are already familiar with it. Among other things, you can own ships and sail across the sea to other continents while discovering new islands and avoiding pitfalls like pirates and mutiny. IMO, the player’s choices seem to have more effect on the world state and game than something like, say, Oblivion, which is probably the benefit of not having to graphically render every little thing. The world genuinely felt vast, open, and alive, which is amazing to me considering that the original books came out long before CRPGs and the like. I ended up sinking a lot of time into it. It’s an open world text-based choice game that is worth checking out just to have a model for similar games in choicescript. It’s free, but requires that you download Java. It’s essentially the same as the original, except it eliminates pen-and-paper record keeping and a copious amount of page turning. It’s a javascript app developed using the “Fabled Lands” sourcebooks. After some googling, I found this link I’m offering up for those interested. I heard about “Fabled Lands” for the first time from a reply on this forum.

![]() Plenty of Instruments and Preset SoundsįL Studio includes a variety of familiar musical instruments, such as the piano, bass, chords, and others. There is a search feature in the library to help you quickly find what you need. There is a sound library that you can add your own samples and loops, and includes some excellent plug-ins like DirectWave, EQUO, and Fruity Squeeze. Clicking on an item will open up a drop-down selection of specific elements. The browser window on the left is your resource for any file you will need, from presets to projects and scores. With 500 tracks, you’ll have plenty of flexibility to add plenty of other instruments, beats, and vocals to each song. This is where you can take all the different elements and arrange them to create the perfect music mix. Moving towards the center of the board, you’ll find the playlist. Here you can add in any sound generator you want to mix in, such as Drums, piano, bass, and more. All of the instruments, audio clips, and preset sounds are located on the left side of the board. The beauty of the FL Studio mixing board is the logical flow. The board is touch-friendly, which is great if you’re using a computer that has a touchscreen, which allows you to mix and fade multiple tracks at once, just like you can with a real board. However, once you get familiar with it, you’ll quickly see how easy it is to use. If you’ve never used a mixing board, you might initially be overwhelmed by all the features and tracks available on the FL Studio board. It has successfully made the transition from a basic MIDI sequencer to an all-in-one digital music studio application. FL Studio OverviewįL Studio (known initially as Fruity Loops) is an excellent music editing platform for Windows and Macs. Just follow the same steps, but this time click on ASIO4ALL and choose to uninstall it. Note: If you downloaded other programs, such as ASIO4ALL, when you installed FL Studio, it will have to be uninstalled separately. The Setup Wizard will open, and you’ll have to click Next a few times before deleting the software from your computer.Scroll through the list of installed programs until you find FL Studio and click uninstall.Type Add or Remove Programs in the Windows search bar.You can easily remove FL Studio from your computer in three simple steps. ![]() If FL Studio doesn’t have the features you need, or perhaps it’s just not what you were looking for, check out the free FL Studio alternatives below. Once you click Next, it will install it, and the FL Studio installation will be finished.
![]() My guess is that they’re filling the higher ups pockets with more money. Where does the money they’re “saving” by doing this go? I know for sure that the money doesn’t go back to who needs it most, which is the underpaid and undervalued medical scribes. Percentage of candidates during the virtual classroom training and that means that they are losing money during it as well. They are doing this because they are losing a good The only state they can’t implement it in is California because it’s illegal there, but they can somehow do it in all other states because they are classifying it as general scribe training, which you can use for other medical scribe jobs and you can “place” out of the unpaid training. Now for Scribe101, before you even go through the interviewing process, you are going through 15 hours of unpaid training to deem if you are eligible for an interview. If the SA interviewer thinks your availability and typing speed are good to go, you then go through the virtual classroom training which is about 15-25 hours. ![]() So, the way it usually works is that when you apply, you receive an invite for an interview. They’re rolling out something called Scribe101 for people that apply. So I stand by my statement.For all those that are looking to apply, don’t waste your time. OP is being a shit human to the other humans he's working with, and that goes beyond SA or legal contracts. This isn't about SA, this is about someone selfishly getting theirs and peacing out, leaving other human beings to clean up their mess. It comes off as nasty because I have had experience with people just like OP, contentedly blasé with their lack of integrity, screw me over personally and multiple times. Perhaps even moreso than if there were a legal contact binding them to that agreement. Unfortunately, interviewers have nothing but the scribe's word to go off of, so when people lie from the getgo just to get the job and then leave early, yes, it does reflect poorly on their moral character and how well they uphold their professional agreements. This is why interviewers ask for an estimate on how long someone will be able to stick around, so they can ensure their work is not wasted. However, there is a lot of time and resources that are sunk into training new scribes. I don't think people should be penalized for things like that, and at-will contracts are appropriate for a job at this level. Life happens - people move, family gets sick, other opportunities come up, whatever. The at-will contract signed makes him leaving early non-actionable as far as we are concerned legally. One of my flaws is that I hold grudges and I would totally do all of those things to that sort of person. ![]() They might choose not to hire you for a job at their practice. They might reject your residency application. They might think of you as the sort of person that does not honor their professional commitments. These people would remember you as that dickhead that quit early and made their life way harder. If you are fully aware of how inconsiderate it is to quit early, and the internal knowledge that you're a morally inferior human is not enough for you, consider that medicine is a small world and you may encounter some of these people again later on in your career, especially if you plan to practice in a close geographical area. ![]() If you absolutely must leave, tell them ASAP so they have time to rehire and train someone new, a process that in itself can take months. Doctors will also have to work without a scribe if there is not enough coverage, hurting their productivity. It's incredibly frustrating to sink all this effort training a new scribe who won't really be proficient until 3-4 months down the line, and then they quit as soon as they're functional. I'm going to generously assume you're just ignorant rather than a dickhead, but there is a lot of background labor that goes into setting up your role that you don't ever see. It's pretty much only an issue if you would try to get hired by them again or listed an SA employee as a reference.Īlthough I will say, as someone who was a chief scribe, you're screwing over your coworkers and the doctors at your site who will have to pick up the slack once you leave. ![]() You don’t have to be an expert gift giver to show them that you value their time, effort and hard work every day. Not all employers make an effort to buy gifts for employees, so choosing the proper gift and reason will really go a long way and make a lasting impact on the employee.Įmployees are vital to the success of a company, which is why they deserve a little extra from time to time. When giving your gift, try to find time to speak with them personally to disclose the reason behind the gift and what they did to earn it.

At the end of the day, it’s sometimes easy to tell if someone scrambled and bought a last-minute gift. You might not find what you’re looking for as easily as you thought, or it might be harder than planned to find something within budget. As a matter of fact, remote employees get left out of most corporate office events, lunches, etc., so ensuring that they receive a gift along with the rest of your staff will make them feel included.ĭon’t procrastinate! Waiting until the last minute to finish shopping for gifts for employees is always a terrible plan. Although they might not always be physically present, their work is just as important as others. When buying gifts for employees, don’t forget to buy gifts for remote staff. Disrupting workflow to give them their gift might make others feel uncomfortable, distracted or less appreciated. In addition, you’ll want to give them their gift in an appropriate setting and time. Make sure that your gifts for employees are appropriate for an office environment and coworker relationship.

This is a feature that reduces the value of the gemstone and a step-behind other major pink gemstones such as kunzite, morganite and tourmaline. Rose quartz is often translucent, displaying a milky, turbid appearance. It’s believed that rose quartz gets its color from traces of titanium, manganese or iron present during the stone’s formation. Gemstones with vivid coloring are the most sought after for use in jewelry, while rarer deep pink colors are the most in demand. Rose gold comes in a variety of pink shades, from pale pink to deep rosy hues. It stood at close to 40cm in height and is known as one of the most valuable fine mineral sold at an auction. ![]() One of the largest and most famous rose quartz specimens is the La Madona Rosa, which was auctioned for over $500,000 some years ago. Rose quartz beads dating back to 7000 BC from Mesapotamia (present-day Iraq) were discovered demonstrating that this stone has a long rich history in jewelry use. Most rose quartz comes from Brazil, with Madagascar, India, Mozambique, Germany and South Africa also being notable sources of the gemstone. Other famous quartz gemstones include citrine and amethyst which are also popular in jewelry. Rose quartz is the rose colored variety of quartz, an extremely common mineral found abundantly around the world, occurring in very large specimens. Here’s everything you need to know before you buy rose quartz.

He presented it to the Russian Physical and Chemical Society on May 7, 1895. In 1895, adapting the techniques presented in Lodge's published lectures, Russian physicist Alexander Stepanovich Popov built a lightning detector that used a coherer based radio receiver. There was speculation that this fog and stormy weather penetrating "invisible light" could be used in maritime applications such as lighthouses, including the London journal The Electrician (December 1895) commenting on Bose's achievements, saying "we may in time see the whole system of coast lighting throughout the navigable world revolutionized by an Indian Bengali scientist working single handed in our Presidency College Laboratory." ![]() ![]() The Serbian American engineer Nikola Tesla considered Hertzian waves relatively useless for long range transmission since "light" could not transmit further than line of sight. Among physicist, what were perceived as technical limitations to using these new waves, such as delicate equipment, the need for large amounts of power to transmit over limited ranges, and its similarity to already existent optical light transmitting devices, lead them to a belief that applications were very limited. Proposed applicationsīetween 18 physicists such as John Perry, Frederick Thomas Trouton and William Crookes proposed electromagnetic or Hertzian waves as a navigation aid or means of communication, with Crookes writing on the possibilities of wireless telegraphy based on Hertzian waves in 1892. He would latter write an essay, "Adrisya Alok" ("Invisible Light") on how in November 1895 he conducted a public demonstration at the Town Hall of Kolkata, India using millimeter-range-wavelength microwaves to trigger detectors that ignited gunpowder and rang a bell at a distance. Bengali Indian physicist Jagadish Chandra Bose conducted experiments at wavelengths of 60 GHz (5 millimeter) and invented waveguides, horn antennas, and semiconductor crystal detectors for use in his experiments. Russian physicist Pyotr Lebedev in 1895 conducted experiments in the 50 GHz 50 (6 millimeter) range. Oliver Lodge and Augusto Righi experimented with 1.5 and 12 GHz microwaves respectively, generated by small metal ball spark resonators. ![]() Oliver Lodge's 1894 lectures on Hertz demonstrated how to transmit and detect radio wavesĪfter Lodges demonstrations researchers pushed their experiments further down the electromagnetic spectrum towards visible light to further explore the quasioptical nature at these wavelengths. During part of the demonstration the waves were sent from the neighboring Clarendon Laboratory building, and received by apparatus in the lecture theater. Lodge further expanded on Hertz' experiments showing how these new waves exhibited like light refraction, diffraction, polarization, interference and standing waves, confirming that Hertz' waves and light waves were both forms of Maxwell's electromagnetic waves. Lodge focused on the optical qualities of the waves and demonstrated how to transmit and detect them (using an improved variation of French physicist Édouard Branly's detector Lodge named the " coherer"). įollowing Hertz' untimely death in 1894, British physicist and writer Oliver Lodge presented a widely covered lecture on Hertzian waves at the Royal Institution on June 1 of the same year. Maxwell's theory showing that light and Hertzian electromagnetic waves were the same phenomenon at different wavelengths led "Maxwellian" scientists such as John Perry, Frederick Thomas Trouton and Alexander Trotter to assume they would be analogous to optical light. Exploration of optical qualities Early experiment demonstrating refraction of microwaves by a paraffin lens by John Ambrose Fleming in 1897Īfter their discovery many scientists and inventors experimented with transmitting and detecting "Hertzian waves" (it would take almost 20 years for the term "radio" to be universally adopted for this type of electromagnetic radiation). īetween 18 Heinrich Rudolf Hertz published the results of experiments wherein he was able to transmit electromagnetic waves (radio waves) through the air, proving Maxwell's electromagnetic theory. In an 1864 presentation, published in 1865, James Clerk Maxwell proposed theories of electromagnetism, with mathematical proofs, that showed that light and predicted that radio and x-rays were all types of electromagnetic waves propagating through free space.

All invasion events' creatures over level 25 also have a small chance to drop energy crystals. In such case, the islands natural inhabitants will not count towards the event counter, despite being technically the same.Īt any level, invasion events' creatures can drop rare items like trophies, recipes and pets but, this chance will be better on higher levels. Keep in mind that some events will be influenced by the character level and some events will not spawn until you reach certain areas or islands with specific biomes.Ĭertain events may spawn in creatures that will be the same as those on the island. The only way to be sure all events will spawn on low levels, is by keeping a world with only 4 islands and always check that world with a low level character. That means you can spawn an event with a lower level character to have weaker foes and actually complete it with a geared, higher level one. In case you character level is lower than the island, the event will spawn based on the island and not your character level. Most events will be 2 levels above the said character level but all the important drops (from creatures and chests) will be the same regardless of the event's level. ![]() By repeatedly deleting an old world, creating a new one, reaching the fourth island and completing the event that pops up, you can speed this up.Įvent's spawn levels are based on the character you choose before either entering an island or opening the world map. There are Steam achievements that require you to complete 50 and then 200 events. If you turn your system clock to the future and pop-up an event and come back, you will not see next another event until that time has actually come. A new event pops up every 6 hours and an event-timer is recorded inside the world save file.

I am a cosmetologist and I wouldn't double think using it for my clients as well.There are several types of depilatory waxes to choose from, which is a great advantage because this means there's a variety of options that can be used for several types of hair removal treatments. my skin is very sensitive and I didn't have any problems. melted so fast on high then I lowered it all the way down like 5 min before I used it just to be safe. I used it on my underarms and bikini areas and worked amazingly, was worried it wouldn't get the job done because it was so cheap but exceeded my expectations. Helpful Review: This is an amazing waxing. If you'd prefer a budget-savvy wax warmer without all of the bells and whistles, this is another great pick that offers fewer temperature control options, but boasts more than 2,300 reviews. The kit also comes with five hard wax bean bags, 20 waxing sticks, 10 eyebrow waxing sticks, one pre and one post spray for prepping and comforting skin, 10 gloves, and five protective rings. This wax warmer features an adjustable temperature dial and easy-to-read digital display that can cut down on the risk of burns from wax that is too hot. I do not know how well it works with extremely coarse hair, but I was able to easily remove the hair from my legs, arms, and pits!” I love the strips are reusable too because I always seem to run out of strips before wax. Helpful Review: “It is not tacky, sticky, messy, and the fact it removes my hair just as good as any wax, but can literally be cleaned off by warm water, is amazing. This is an excellent kit for both seasoned at-home waxing pros and beginners (reviewers say it comes with clear instructions). Unlike some other wax types, this one washes off easily with water, without leaving sticky residue behind. You can heat this wax in the microwave, directly in the jar it comes in and reviewers say this makes cleaning up much easier. This kit comes with 30 washable, reusable wax strips and wooden applicators and is ideal for removing all types of hair. This sugar wax kit is made of sustainably sourced organic wax from tree resin and beeswax, organic cane sugar and organic chamomile extract and the method itself may be less painful and more nourishing to sensitive skin than traditional wax. The wax is pliable and efficient and the smell is nice.” My sensitive skin seems to do well with these wax beads. I tend to wax more often than shaving because my skin has issues when I shave. The wax beads are a great value for the money and work well. ![]() This is a huge refill bag for the warmer I purchased. Helpful Review: “I love that I save money not using wax strips now. Reviewers say this "creamy" wax takes a little longer to dry than other options, but that just one application can remove all of the hair in an area. This is a refill bag and doesn’t require you to buy waxing strips, however, you will need wax applicator sticks and a warm wax device to melt the beads. The wax works for fine to coarse hair and can be used on all parts of the body, from brows to legs, but is most effective on short, coarse hair. To use: melt them in a wax warmer (not included), apply to your skin, wait a few seconds for the wax to dry, and swiftly remove the wax. These beads are portable and easier to store than traditional hard wax tins, too. These hard wax beads are infused with lavender to calm skin and prevent irritation during waxing.

Sugar Wax : Sugar wax is similar to sugaring, which is a wax alternative that uses natural ingredients like cane sugar and flower extracts to remove hair with less pain.It may feel sticky and requires separate woven strips to pull out hair. Soft Cream Wax: Soft cream wax heats at a lower temperature than hard wax, which prevents burns, and is most effective at removing fine hair.For that reason, I also included in this roundup a wax warmer with a digital temperature display that can prevent burns. Unlike soft wax, hard wax does not leave a sticky residue behind and is easier to clean up, but it can get hot fast. It saves time and money by pulling out coarse, short hairs without needing separate woven strips. ![]() ![]()
![]() Just a little secret to enjoying these yummy flavors all year long. I’ve also been known to stock up on the holiday flavors from International Delight and freeze them. I love enjoying Pumpkin Pie Spice, Peppermint Mocha, and Frosted Sugar Cookie around the holidays each flavor is so decadent and yummy. Whether I’m using it in my coffee or in my desserts, I love every minute of it. Incorporating International Delight Into Your HolidayĪs you can see, International Delight is a special part of our lives around the holidays and my every day. My family loves the goodie tray, and I look forward to them drooling over it for many years to come. This was important to me because I want to be able to cherish the goodie tray tradition for many years to come. They didn’t! They actually loved my fudge just as much as they loved my moms. I did a test run on family pre-holidays, and I wondered if they would taste a difference. I used International Delight to help me flavor this Peppermint Mocha Fudge. Peppermint fudge has long been a tradition on her goodie tray, and this year I decided to change it up and make it my way. Piled high with a variety of Rice Krispy treats, hard candy, cookies, and fudge. She decks the house out like mad and makes a goodie tray that is drooled over every year. My mom loves Christmas, and it’s her favorite time of year. Since I love the holidays and everything that goes with them, we often try to spend as many holidays with my parents as we can. A favorite of my guests is the Pumpkin Pie Spice, Vanilla, or Caramel, so many good flavors! Don’t you agree? I know my guests do. Anyone who comes over to my house knows that I love coffee creamer, and I have at least one of their favorite International Delight flavors. My husband prefers the Sugar Cookie coffee creamer from International Delight, and I have to agree that it is yummy as well.Īnother passion of mine is having people over during the week just to catch up and chat. It’s definitely a tie between Peppermint Mocha and Pumpkin Pie Spice for being my favorite holiday flavors. I start my day with two cups of coffee if that gives you any indication of how much I love International Delight’s holiday flavors. Hands down, they have the best flavors for the holiday, and I can’t seem to get enough. One of my favorite parts of the year is when International Delight releases their holiday flavors available at Walmart. That means that I’m drinking even more coffee than usual. Many of you know that we recently welcomed a new baby boy into the family.
