Mitch Keller had a rough start to his 2022 season, posting a 5.21 ERA over his first 16 appearances (15 starts), but since then he’s been quite good: 12 starts, 2.69 ERA, 1.224 WHIP, 3.60 FIP. ![]() This will, for whatever it’s worth, be his first MLB appearance in a ballpark other than Wrigley Field.

The Lord John books are a subset of the Outlander series focused on the beloved character.ĭiana was invited to write a short story for a British anthology and decided to write a story about Lord John, hence Lord John and the Hell-Fire Club was born. If so, there’s no time like the present to read all of the Lord John books in order. There is speculation (and hope!) that a Lord John spin-off TV series is in the works which would be incredible. Lord John is one of my (and other readers’) favorite characters in this story and he has starred in novels and novellas of his own.ĭavid Berry stars as Lord John on the Outlander TV show and he is perfection. If you take the plunge and dive into the Outlander books, then trust me when I say you’re going to get hooked and want to read EVERYTHING there is related to Outlander. SO worth it! Lord John Books: More to the Outlander Story They are HUGE books, with Written in My Own Hearts Blood clocking in at 842 pages! Yet they are worth it. The show is INCREDIBLE and captures everything that I love about this story and its characters but Gabaldon’s writing is unlike any other with her historical details and you are definitely going to want to enjoy each and every page.īut these books aren’t for the faint of heart. If I can offer one suggestion – definitely read the books before watching the show. Season 7 will soon be in the works with an anticipated late 2022/early 2023 release date.

Outlander BooksĬurrently, there are 9 “big books” as Gabaldon calls them, as she currently writes the tenth and final book. Whether you’re an avid Outlander fan or just new to the series, I’ve got you covered with this list of the Outlander books in order so you don’t miss a single character or adventure. But I think we have a few years before that time comes! I couldn’t get enough of Jamie and Claire Fraser and their entire family and it will be a sad day once the tenth and final book of the Outlander series is released. I admit that I was late to the party, only starting the Outlander book series once the TV show was released, but I was quick to binge-read the entire series and the subset books once I was hooked. Diana Gabaldon has been dazzling readers for years since she first published Outlander in 1991 and the series is still going strong. ![]() ![]() ![]() Turnover rate should, at a minimum, be calculated on an annual basis - you’ll need to know your annual turnover rate during strategic planning meetings and budgetary conversations.

The first is voluntary turnover, or when employees choose to leave the company. It’s often described in relation to employee retention rate, which measures the number of employees retained from the beginning of a set period until the end. Turnover rate is defined as the percentage of employees who have left a company over a certain period of time. Tracking this metric is vital to getting ahead of major business setbacks.Īs a business leader, it’s important to take some time to understand what employee turnover represents, how to calculate your turnover rate and how to interpret the results.

Many organizations take their overall turnover rate into account in an annual review. What Is a Good Cadence for Measuring the Turnover Rate? But if five of those employees left the same position and the same manager in the space of a year, it indicates a worrisome trend that needs to be solved on a managerial level instead of implementing universal changes.

What Is an Acceptable Turnover Rate?Īs with many other people-based statistics, determining an acceptable turnover rate is highly dependent on context. If 15 employees left the organization that year, the turnover rate would be 20 percent (15/75 = 0.2, 0.2 x 100 = 20 percent). So if an organization has 50 employees at the beginning of the year and ends the year with 100 employees, the average number of employees for the year would be 75 (50+100=150, 150/2=75). Divide the number of employees who left by the average number of employees.įor quick reference:(Employees who leave/) x 100 = Turnover Rate %.Divide this number by two for the average. You can do this by adding your headcount from the beginning of the period to your headcount at the end of the period.

![]() ![]() Me as a guardian druid was really excited for the challenge because last time we got this opportunity to get cool bear mog was 4 years ago. However, limited time makes it near to impossible to farm the gear yourself and buying it is overpriced because of MT. I agree with the difficulty part as well, for casuals it is near to impossible to complete, it is somehow easier with the legacy items because you automatically deal a lot more damage with all the sockets and enchants that you can put on it. Shadowlands 220+ilvl gear feels like green items in this MT challenge. It is really over tuned and the scaling of the gear is just horrible. I completely agree with the points that you’ve mention and described what the problem is. I was excited about the mage tower that I could not complete on legion, I was excited about the time walking event as a fun thing to do with friends and alone and I’m left just with a bitter and disappointed taste because it is nothing like what it was advertised to be. ![]() If it had been advertised as something really hard from the get go I would not have minded, I would not have even tried it either because I don’t have the time for it right now but I would not have felt so betrayed once again by the lack of effective communication. Be bloody clearer on your advertisements for this kind of content. Do not put it for a limited amount of time: Just leave it there so that I can farm all the challenges one by one and have the time to gear my character for it without bursting a vein or risking to lose my job or sleep for doing so. Nerf it for more casual players and keep the current difficulty as a mythic mode for people who want to go the extra mile, there is nothing wrong in really hard content either. At least make it doable in full SL gear so that the progression of my characters counts for something in the completion of the challenge and I don’t struggle the same with my 250 fully geared pal than I would with a newly pinged 60 character. Nerf it, don’t nerf it, in the end it’s up to blizzard. drought of content like we are having now. How do you expect anyone to be able to complete the mage tower challenges for the mount in that short amount of time with that kind of difficulty? Either make it accessible all the time and then it becomes a grind that everyone can do at some point or it is an elitist bullcrap that is targeted only to a small percentage of people that has the time to spend 5+ hours a day on wow and that last part is not okay, especially in a. I have friends who geared alts just to do the mage tower back in legion and managed to do it and tried today with the same characters that have not moved since, same gear, same challenge but today somehow it was impossible for them to complete.ĥ: Limited time: I would not have a problem or less at least with all of the above if the content was not just limited to 2 weeks. Make a mythic mode for those who really want the glory and a title or an achievement or something, but make the mage tower accessible also to more casual players (again, as advertised)Ĥ: Borrowed power: Back in legion people had legendaries and bored power and artefacts that changed a lot the way the mage tower was doable. I should not be needing extra help from old gear that will not serve me in any other case than this one.ģ: Things can be scaled up in difficulty. All of the guides and videos I’ve seen of successful completions of the tower were made with legendaries and artefacts from Legion and gear taken from mythic Antorus, I should be able with the right preparation and skill to complete the challenge on my SL gear. The challenge should test skill, yes, not the ability of people to just farm old raids to have better gear because otherwise it is downright impossible. Or people putting the neck and cape from BfA because even with the squish in ilvl it gives better stats. Now if people with max geared characters cannot complete it I highly doubt that a lvl 45 could without the last row of talents and the additional SL power.Ģ: People are optimising their characters with gear from previous expansions because the one from SL is insufficient: it was advertised as a challenge that could be done as it is, we should not need to go and farm Antorus in mythic just to have gear that allows me not to be oneshotted by an unavoidable capacity. Something even that could be accessed with any character that is lvl 45 or above. Blizzard advertised the return of the mage tower as a fun thing that everyone could enjoy to get transoms, still a challenge, but not something impossible. The issues I have with the current mage tower are the following:ġ: It is not what it was advertised to be. ![]() ![]() ![]()

Does it do them well? Yes, absolutely - they’re fine-tuned for both elegant serenading and operatic caterwauling and can be calibrated to fit each individual’s range. Of course, if you were interested in One Hand Clapping, you knew what the selling point was: voice controls. It’s not necessarily a deal-breaker, but it’s worth mentioning that the selling point isn’t excitement. Even in the occasional chase scenes that provide the rare boost of adrenaline, you’ll be ambling along at the normal pace you were without danger present. It wasn’t just in the fact that gameplay takes some time getting used to (there’s a lot of milling about as you slooooowly figure out the right notes to press buttons, move objects, etc.), but that character movement is relaxed at best and sluggish at worst. But should that mechanic be taken out, One Hand Clapping goes from a neat, quirky idea to an average and slow platformer. Worth repeating, the voice controls are nothing short of spectacular as a sucker for novelty in games, picking up this game based on concept alone was a no-brainer. With that being said, I couldn’t shrug off one aspect of One Hand Clapping, and that was… well, the platforming part. On paper, One Hand Clapping is nothing short of genius: a simple concept with a surprise novelty that entertains no matter how good the player is at singing. Even its music, which would normally be a pretty prominent and powerful force in music games, takes a backseat to allow the player’s voice to shine through, which was an extremely smart move on the developers’ part. One Hand Clapping does a lot of things right, from its beautifully crafted world that convey a variety of moods and emotions to its difficulty scaling that allows anyone to play even if they can’t carry a tune in a bucket with a lid on it. There are music games, there are rhythm games, and then there is One Hand Clapping - something altogether new. ![]() As the levels progress, the puzzles get increasingly more complex, with portions requiring players to hit specific keys at specific times, sing to the beat, and so on. At first it’s fairly simplistic, such as sustaining a note or singing a high note to force an elevator to go up or a low note to descend. ![]() You have a lil guy who needs to get from point A to point B in standard platforming fashion however, there are puzzles scattered throughout the levels that are voice-activated/controlled, making for some pretty unique gameplay. And while a microphone is required to play, a beautiful singing voice isn’t - in fact, sometimes the sillier you sound, the more entertaining it is.Īs a concept, One Hand Clapping is extremely cool. First created as a demo project back in 2018 by a handful of students at the University of Southern California, One Hand Clapping evolved from its humble roots to a full game available on pretty much any current platform you can think of. One Hand Clapping, developed by Bad Dream Games and published by HandyGames, may look really familiar to many popularized a few years ago by big names like Markiplier, JackSepticEye, and even PewDiePie, One Hand Clapping has an interesting development story. So it shouldn’t be all that surprising to see a simple concept like voice activation implemented in to the genre, right? Right - so why does One Hand Clapping feel like a completely revolutionary idea in the space when the technology has seemingly been there for years? Ah well, better late than never! Whether it be time manipulation, dimensional changes, or something else entirely, platformers are seemingly well-equipped to handle new mechanics to reinvigorate the 40+ year old game type. Every time you turn around, it seems like a new platformer introduces an interesting fresh spin on the heritage genre. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() But most of the time I enjoy them without any topping. The ‘noodles’ can be topped with parmesan cheese or vegan parmesan. Salt draws out the water from the noodle because more surface area is created. Once the zucchini is cut the cell walls of the plant are open, exposing the water contained inside the flesh. NOTE: Do not season with salt until the end of cooking to prevent a mushy texture. Once done, remove from the heat and stir in the fresh basil and salt. Like pasta, the zucchini noodles should be al dente. The green skin on the zucchini will get brighter. The “noodles” are then added to the pan and sauteed over medium heat, stirring occasionally for 2-3 minutes until tender. To infuse more flavor into the dish, garlic is cooked briefly in the olive oil to soften and enhance the taste. The ‘noodles’ come together in 5 minutes. Garlic and basil are the primary flavors in this dish. You want the noodles to sauté quickly not steam. ![]() They’re easier to eat when they’re not 3 feet long.

I’m not a gadget person but I find this tool worth having. It has a 4.5 star rating from 6,000+ reviews on Amazon. They have become so popular most stores carry them. You can make your own spiralized noodles or buy them in the grocery or health food store. After the 20 minutes or longer, squeeze all the water out with a kitchen towel. Allow them to sit for about 20 minutes – the longer it sits, the more water is drawn out. Sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt and toss. ![]() To “sweat” the zucchini noodles, place them in a colander, then place the colander in the sink or over a bowl. If your zucchini are medium to large I recommend “sweating” the spiralized zucchini before adding them to the pan.
![]() ![]() If, for example, you've tabbed out a tune played in the key of C but have specified a capo at the second fret, you should enter a key signature of D major (two 's) as this is the key that the piece actually sounds in. Care should be taken to adjust the " Key signature" to reflect the addition of the capo so that the correct accidentals will be used in the stave. The fret numbers of the tablature remain unaffected. By default, the addition of a capo affects both the pitch of MIDI playback and the note pitches of the standard notation. This allows any capo setting between 0 (no capo) and 15. The " Octaver" Option allows you to tranpose the notes in order that they fit in the new selected tuning.īelow the tunings popup is a small box labeled " Capo". If " Impact> Fingerings" is selected, the fingerings will be adjusted so that the sound output doesn't change. If you select " Impact> Notes" (default), only the note values will be changed. When you select this tuning, the "Instrument configuration" button that appears opens the dialog box." Instrument Configuration".įor an existing score, it's useful to be able to specify if the changes are to affect the notes (default) or the fingerings. You can define a hammered dulcimer (cymbalum), an instrument with partial capos, a chromatic harmonica, etc. It allows you to freely define how the fingerboard, table or keyboard of the instrument is physically organized. The resulting dialog also allows you to specify a name for your tuning.Īmong the predefined tunings, the "Custom Tab Instrument" tuning has a very special function. To add a custom tuning to the list, just modify the current tuning to the desired values and click on the custom slot you want it in while keeping held down. The slots for these custom tunings are marked with an asterisk ( *) and are located at the bottom of the list of pre-defined tunings. TablEdit can manage up to eight user-defined tunings. If you should select a tuning not corresponding to the current number of strings, TablEdit will change this number after asking you for confirmation. Selecting any of these will automatically alter the settings applied to the strings. Keeping held down while performing this operation will allow you to change the pitch of all of the strings in a single operation.įurther to the right, you'll find a combo box containing a variety of common (and a few uncommon) tunings. Left-clicking on the small arrows to the right of these items allows you to raise or lower the pitch of the string. Next to the note name, you'll find the octave number (according to the American system) displayed within square brackets. The name of the note to which the string is set displayed to the right of each string. This is very handy for tuning your own instrument to the computer. The note will sound longer if you keep the left mouse button held down. Left-clicking on any of the speaker icons (or the strings, themselves, for that matter) will cause the note to which it's set to sound. Although the illustration above is for a standard, 6-string guitar, if another number of strings has been selected in the " Module" tab of the dialog this will, of course, be reflected here. These represent the strings of the current instrument. You can also open this tab by clicking on the instrument tuning displayed at the far left side of the tablature.Īt the left of the dialog you'll find a "stack" of speaker icons with horizontal lines to the right of them. Incidentally, it allows you to adapt an existing partition to another instrument very easily. The second tab of the " Instrument." dialog deals with the instrument tuning assigned to the current module. ![]() |
