This mod has a 4 Turns Per Year campaign script feature built in. Each year on the campaign map now lasts 4 turns instead of 2. Each year has three summers and one winter to represent the four seasons.
Rome 2 4 Turns Per Year
Some factions have special reform requirements that do not rely on imperium level or turn number like the normal system. When these conditions have been met, the player will receive a message that the reform is happening and a countdown (usually 10 to 20 turns).
Technology may advance, but human needs stay the same. Walking around the Chateau de Versailles is a spectacular experience, a beautiful and somewhat mystical royal castle. It turns out, even for its time, it was hugely impractical (and expensive to build and maintain). Long hallways, gold and shiny everywhere, I mean, wtf was Louis the thinking while his people were starving? Then I saw a rolltop desk, Bureau du Roi. The one Louis XV himself used to write stuff. A rolltop desk is essentially a fancy desk with a cover over its surface that you can lock up with a single key. This is very much the equivalent of passwords today on computers and smartphones, and even modern day encryption messaging apps use today. The need to keep one's information secure always existed. Needs and desires change very little, but how they are addressed changes with advancement of technology. Technology is improving and changing our lives, but our core needs and desires stay the same. Understanding this idea is the source of innovation and new product development. The idea that humans have changed very little is consistent and should shape how we create success in the future.
Provide a great service and expect nothing in return. Atlasssian, Aussie software company managed to go from 0-100 million in sales by word-of-mouth without having to hire sales professionals. People seek advice from people they know. Checking reviews is secondary. Reviews have caused me more confusion in the past, which only resulted in reading more reviews. An elegant solution on motivating its users to write reviews is inside Airbnb's app. I try and review Airbnb places after each stay and the reason I like to do it is simply because I know it will help others. But many people go through motions (dull, generic reviews), because Airbnb has a clever trick that plays to our deepest, selfish desires: review the host so you can see what they wrote about you. It is a great feature from a product standpoint, but how helpful are those reviews? We stayed at a place in Madrid that had great photos and reviews, but the host let the place degrade over many Airbnb months/years, and it was very worn-out-looking when we got to it.
Quality matters, a personal touch matters. Word of mouth can be the most important way of acquiring customers for companies that offer real value. This didn't change in hundreds of years and I predict it will remain like this for years to come. Focus on quality and making your product good. Don't expect anything in return, like the guy who was giving away wine tasting in Tuscany for free. Of course, he hoped for us to buy some wine in the end, but underneath it all, it was wrong of us to think it was just that. He showed insane and genuine passion about wine and loved sharing it with us (and I finally learned how to properly taste wine and what to look for). If you work hard and focus on delivering quality, it will come back. I am sure he will have much more success in the future, his wine business is growing like crazy and he only started it few years ago.
The involvement of PPC in egocentric spatial processing has also been observed in humans as they navigated to goal destinations in the virtual simulation of London 23 . Analysis of the fMRI data revealed that the activity in bilateral PPC was significantly correlated with the egocentric direction to the goal. Additional evidence in support of a role of PPC in egocentric based spatial navigation comes from patients with PPC damage following cerebral infarction or hemorrhage in the right hemisphere 24, 25 . Lesion of PPC can result in a contralateral neglect i.e. inattention to objects and space on the body opposite to the brain damage. Patients with neglect lose the ability to represent the location of objects (and landmarks) with respect to the self, though the landmarks are still recognizable. Indeed, they can get lost in their homes as they ignore left-hand turns or doorway. Neglect of representational space has been clearly described by Bisiach and Luzzatti 26 . They asked patients with left-sided neglect to recall the layout of the Piazza del Duomo in Milan, a place very familiar to them. When imagining themselves facing the cathedral in the middle of the piazza, such patients neglected the left side of the piazza, recalling only the right side; however, when asked to view the piazza from the opposite end, they recalled the previously neglected buildings. An impairment of egocentric processing of remote spatial memory has also been observed in patients with focal lesion of PPC without clinical signs of neglect 25 . In particular, when examined on mental navigation tasks in a very familiar environment (i.e., downtown Toronto), such patients were impaired on tasks that involved egocentric mental views of places such as describing an efficient route from one specific Toronto landmark to another. However, they showed preserved allocentric knowledge of the same environment, as they were able to indicate the location of landmarks on a map of Toronto or draw a map of the streets of Toronto.
Studies on spatial abilities in childhood suggest that infants use mainly an egocentric reference system and that a gradual ability to use allocentric representations is acquired with age. Egocentric representation is considered a more elementary mean of representing the location of an object than an allocentric representation and, therefore, is already present early 60, 61 . Acredolo and Evans 62 found that 6-month-old infants, trained to anticipate the appearance of a face at either their left or right and then turned around, continued to look in the same egocentric direction after they were rotated to the opposite side of the room. The correct use of allocentric representations develops progressively with increasing age. A further study carried out in children of 5, 7, and 10-year-olds has demonstrated that a high percentage of children spontaneously used the egocentric strategy on the virtual reality adaptation of the StarMaze task, reproducing the same sequence of body turns during the probe trials as during the training trials 63 . The allocentric strategy, based on landmark guidance, was spontaneously used to solve the task in a few percentage of children at 7 and 10 years, but not at 5 years of age. However, when the allocentric strategy was imposed, the 5- year-olds were able to use allocentric behavior but their performance was below that of the 10-year-olds.
Based on neuropsychological literature showing that the use egocentric develops before allocentric spatial strategies 73 , altered egocentric spatial ability can be considered an early sign of neuro- and psychiatric developmental disorders. This issue is generally little explored. However, some studies have addressed egocentric spatial information processing in Autism spectrum disorder (ASD). ASD is a multifactorial neurodevelopmental disorder that can also be secondary to genetic syndromes, including DiGeorge syndrome, Optiz syndrome or Fragile X syndrome 74 . ASD manifests with impaired eye contact and communication skills, as well as impaired social interaction 75 . Furthermore, children with autism often present stereotyped behavior and self-injury. Visuo-spatial abilities in subjects with autism have been investigated. Although in one study, no impairment was observed 76 , more recent studies suggested that autistic adults show impaired performance in egocentric spatial tasks, when they have to use their body as reference frame 77, 78 .
Impaired subcortical functions in animal models of autism have been mainly associated to social behavior impairment, with little attention to the possible effects of spatial information processing. Behavioral investigation of MID1-null mouse model of Opitz G/BBB syndrome (OS), a genetic disorder characterized by mental retardation and brain abnormalities such as hypoplasia of the anterior cerebellar vermis, has demonstrated that these mice can promptly learn to locate the food in a T-maze if the position of the food remains constant relatively to extra-maze cues (allocentric strategy), but they are impaired if the position of the food is anchored to the animal position in the maze (egocentric strategy) 84 . Impairment of egocentric spatial information processing has been also observed in children with Williams syndrome (WS), a neurodevelopmental disorder resulting from a hemizygous microdeletion of 25 genes on chromosome 7q11.23 73, 85 .
09/19/13 ajaGeorge and Ira Gershwin take the stage of Felten-Start Theatre for the first theatrical production of the fall, the Fort Hays State University Homecoming Weekend production of "Crazy for You."Performances are at 7:30 p.m. from Oct. 2 to Oct. 4. A matinee is at 2:30 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 6. Felten-Start is in Malloy Hall on the FHSU campus.Set in the 1930s, "Crazy for You" is a witty and comedic romantic musical based on the novel by Ken Ludwig. The first act opens in Zangler Theatre in New York, with Tess, played by Rebecca Urban, Hays junior, as the dance director who dismisses the advances she gets from theatre owner Bela Zangler, played by Alexander Stout, Kanopolis senior.Hoping to become part of the theatre and its performances is Bobby Child, played by L.J. Kemper, Topeka junior. Bobby, the child of a rich banking family, is denied an audition and returns outside to meet his fiancé of five years, Irene, played by Jill Herbert, Wichita sophomore, and his mother, Mrs. Lottie Child, Hannah Keil, Hays sophomore.Bobby is told to go to Deadrock, Nev., to foreclose on a theatre. Deadrock's theatre owner, Everett Baker, played by Tyler Wayman, McLouth sophomore, worries about his daughter, Polly, played by Hayley Funk, Quinter junior. She wants to carry on her mother's legacy of being in the town's performances and vows to get even with the bank for foreclosing on her father's theatre.Lank Hawkins, played by Timothy Tarkelly, Hays senior, tries to convince Everett to sell the theatre to him because Lank is in love with Polly.Bobby hits town dehydrated and on the brink of death and sees Polly. It is love at first sight, and he celebrates the moment by singing "Things are Looking Up."Instead of foreclosing on the theatre and losing the love of his life, Bobby decides to put on a production to save the theatre. Polly enthusiastically agrees, but once she finds out Bobby is the banker from New York, she is heartbroken. Bobby wants the show to go on and impersonates Mr. Zangler, the director from New York, to keep the show going.The 10 Zangler Follies appear and are put in the show. Once the local cowboys see the follies, the whole dreary town comes alive with excitement. The song "Slap That Bass" turns all the bad rehearsals and spirits up and creates high spirits. But while the show is going well, Polly has fallen in love with Bobby's impersonation of Mr. Zangler.From there, the love and theatrical interests work themselves out through classic Gershwin songs, including "I Got Rhythm," "They Can't Take That Away from Me," "Embraceable You" and "Someone to Watch Over Me."The show ends with the all the townspeople concocting a plan to reunite Polly and Bobby in the "Finale.""Crazy for You" was nominated for nine Tony awards and won three, including Best Musical in 1992.Tickets are $15 for the public and $10 for senior citizens and FHSU students with a valid ID.
