![]() ![]() I'd like to see what you think.Įuropa Universalis IV, the other great strategy game. Due to the fact that major defeats could be a big drain on your manpower and you may not be able to replace the lost units. But that would also mean that victories would be more rewarding and decisive. This would mean you could favour tactics of wearing the enemy down.Īlso it would likely make the stakes in battles higher because for many of the other factions who would likely not have a massive manpower rate, defeats would be more serious for both the AI and the Player. Certain provinces like Italia would likely have higher manpower (as it's historically accurate) but I dont think it would make it that unbalanced as at the moment Rome can spam out full stacks anyway but the difference is that crushing these full stacks would have more of a noticeable effect. So it would replete when they train units and maybe when units replenish. ![]() ![]() So every province has a manpower bar, a bit like the population bar and they can only train units and have their units can only replenish while they have manpower. It doesn't really seem to have many major repercussions, I can have another army up and running quite quickly and I don't really see much effect on my economy. They never run out of potential soldiers, it doesnt seem to have a noticeable effect on their economy and they can have another full stack up and running pretty quickly. Okay so I was playing Rome 2 and realised that when I wipe out an enemy full stack (especially if it's Rome) it doesnt seem to matter. 2K A Total War Saga: Thrones of Britannia.847 A Total War Saga: Fall of the Samurai. ![]()

![]() ![]() José de Jesus Vallejo, brother of Mariano Vallejo, was the grantee of the Rancho Arroyo de la Alameda Mexican land grant. The influence of the missionaries declined after 1834 when the Mexican government enacted secularization. The Mission prospered, eventually reaching a population of 1,887 inhabitants in 1831. The first English-speaking visitor to Fremont was the renowned trapper and explorer Jedediah Smith in 1827. On their second day in the area, the Mission party killed a grizzly bear in Niles Canyon. Along with that, overpopulation caused food shortages and the Spanish brought diseases to the tribe, causing a lot of deaths and trouble that made an impact on a lot of lives. Unfortunately, living in the missions had a negative part to it, which was that the Ohlone people were forced into converting to Christianity and told to forget the superstitious beliefs that connected them to nature. The Spaniards brought cattle, pigs and sheep and encouraged the Ohlone to give up hunting and gathering to try farming and ranching instead. The bricks were then used to build missions rather than for the tribe to utilize. The missionaries taught them how to make metal tools and weapons and priests also showed them how to make adobe bricks. Before missions, the Natives used tools made of stone, animal bones, and wood. The Ohlone people weren't intimidated by the Franciscan priests, who welcomed them into their missions to live and work. Until 1769, the tribe lived peacefully with their people but Spanish soldiers and missionaries arrived in California to expand Spanish dominion in the Americas and convert the Native Americans to Catholicism. The women wore deerskin aprons over skirts made of tule or shredded bark. ![]() Other than the weather, ceremonies also decided what the Ohlone men wore. In warm weather, men wore mostly nothing in the winter, they wore animal hide or feather capes. The Ohlone tribe lived beside rivers and estuaries because of the natural resources like fish and shellfish. They were primarily hunter-gatherers men hunted and trapped waterfowl, rabbits, deer, elk, and bears, whilst women gathered nuts, berries, and root vegetables. They lived in dome-shaped shelters made out of redwood bark or woven tule. The tribe lived between present-day San Francisco and Monterey and more lands towards the East. The Mission was established at the site of the Ohlone village of Oroysom. The recorded history of the Fremont area began on June 6, 1797, when Mission San José was founded by the Spaniard Father Fermín de Lasuén. Vallejo Mill, built in 1853 by José de Jesús Vallejo. Frémont, a general who helped lead the American Conquest of California from Mexico and later served as Military Governor of California and then U.S. Fremont was incorporated on January 23, 1956, when the former towns of Mission San José, Centerville, Niles, Irvington, and Warm Springs unified into one city. The city's origins lie in the community that arose around Mission San José, founded in 1797 by the Spanish under Padre Fermín Lasuén. It is the closest East Bay city to the high-tech Silicon Valley network of businesses, and has a strong tech industry presence. Located in the East Bay region of the Bay Area, Fremont has a population of 230,504 as of 2020, making it the fourth most populous city in the Bay Area, behind San Jose, San Francisco, and Oakland. ![]() Fremont is a city in Alameda County, California, United States. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() “Historically, air conditioning has been viewed as a thing of privilege or comfort but really, it’s more than that,” Uejio said. However, researchers said energy assistance for cooling should be considered as important. This suggests that energy assistance is more focused on heating instead of cooling. Researchers also found that most of the energy assistance tweets were posted in October and November. Eleven states did not use Twitter for energy assistance announcements, including the relatively hot states of Alabama, Mississippi and New Mexico. Several cities shared messages regarding energy assistance through Twitter including those located in Illinois, the District of Columbia, Missouri, New Jersey, Connecticut and Maryland. Jihoon Jung, FSU doctoral student (FSU Photography Services) Energy assistance relates to the Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program, a federal program that helps poor households with energy costs. Researchers also examined the cities where government officials most commonly distributed energy assistance or cooling center messages throughout the United States. “That is definitely not what we were looking for.”Īmong the valid tweets, the heat theme comprised the largest proportion of tweets at 54.2 percent, followed by air conditioning (29.9 percent), electrical outage (7.8 percent) and dehydration (8 percent). “For instance, there were lots of tweets mentioning the ‘Miami Heat’,” Jung said. Using a code created by Jung, the research team filtered out irrelevant tweets. Researchers focused on tweets addressing six different heat-related themes - air conditioning, cooling center, dehydration, electrical outage, energy assistance and heat. The study surveyed more than 3 million tweets from May 7 to Nov. “A purpose of this study was to improve those early warning systems,” Uejio said. ![]() “We are also hoping that these government groups will start to include more health information in their social media messaging.” Chris Uejio, Assistant Professor of GeographyĮxtreme heat early warning systems are comprehensive programs where government officials communicate with the public and take actions such as opening cooling shelters or emergency distress lines that people can call if they have heat-related problems. “If more agencies start to include social media and tap into what people are actually experiencing in real time, they can improve their extreme heat early warning systems,” Uejio said. They found in Atlanta, Los Angeles and New York City that as temperatures rose, the number of temperature-related tweets increased. Now, a new study by Florida State University researchers examines the impact rising temperatures have on Twitter activity, and how government officials use the social media tool to warn the general public of heatwave conditions.įSU doctoral student Jihoon Jung and Assistant Professor of Geography Chris Uejio co-authored the paper published this month in the International Journal of Biometeorology.

Here, Caruso tackles Shut In’s isolated single set design with a strong combination of camera angles and sound work.Ī large chunk of the film takes place inside the cramped pantry, where Jessica is effectively “shut in,” and forced to find a way out. Caruso, best known for his directorial work in TV shows like Dark Angel, Smallville, and The Shield, as well as films like Disturbia, xXx: Return of Xander Cage, and Two For The Money, starring Al Pacino and Matthew McConaughey. The concept of redemption is one of the strongest thematic elements of the story, and it works whether Jessica is fighting tooth and nail for survival, or bonding with her children as a young mother. The result is a film with an uplifting message, as opposed to a nihilistic one. Once again, the religious element is used effectively, sprinkled in at just the right times in ways that feel appropriate to the story. ![]() Irrespective of personal religious belief or non-belief, each viewer is capable of understanding the message. Yet, it’s remarkably easy to appreciate and admire Shut In’s message regarding the concept of faith, and the importance of walking the straight and narrow path. Jessica is both a single mom, and a recovering drug addict trying to stay on the straight and narrow for the sake of her two young children, Lainey and Mason.įull disclosure – this writer is an Atheist. Shut In centers around the character of Jessica, played with excellence by actress Rainey Qualley, best known for appearances in films like Ocean’s 8 and Ultrasound, and TV hits like Mad Men. Its only real weak point lies in particular story mechanics, which don’t always make sense. Shut In uses the nail-biting thriller motif to trojan horse in a few key messages that end up becoming far more important than its overall premise. Thankfully, the answer is yes, though with a few tiny caveats. Shut In serves a dual purpose – to entertain audiences with a brisk, tense, and atmospheric thriller, while also carving out an alternative space for both audiences, and industry professionals trying to escape the propagandistic quagmire of Leftist-dominated Hollywood.

During the 1950s and 1960s, the FBI tracked Martin Luther King, Jr., Malcolm X, and other civil rights activists through its Racial Matters and COINTELPRO programs, without clear guardrails to prevent the agency from collecting intimate details about home life and relationships that were unrelated to law enforcement. ![]() The oversurveillance of communities of color dates back decades to the civil rights movement and beyond. The history of race and surveillance in the United States We conclude the paper with a series of proposals that lean either toward clear restrictions on the use of surveillance technologies in certain contexts, or greater accountability and oversight mechanisms, including audits, policy interventions, and more inclusive technical designs. We also discuss the role of federal agencies in addressing the purposes and uses of facial recognition and other monitoring tools under their jurisdiction, as well as increased training for state and local law enforcement agencies to prevent the unfair or inaccurate profiling of people of color. In this paper, we present the case for stronger federal privacy protections with proscriptive guardrails for the public and private sectors to mitigate the high risks that are associated with the development and procurement of surveillance technologies. Facial recognition and other surveillance technologies also enable more precise discrimination, especially as law enforcement agencies continue to make misinformed, predictive decisions around arrest and detainment that disproportionately impact marginalized populations. From the historical surveillance of civil rights leaders by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) to the current misuse of facial recognition technologies, surveillance patterns often reflect existing societal biases and build upon harmful and virtuous cycles. ![]() ![]() When shooting with the D3S or D7000, images can now be recorded only to the memory card inserted in the camera.
