![]() So really Farming simulator hasn’t got a lot going for it really now has it. Even going Grand Theft Auto on the farming community doesn’t allow you any fun as pedestrians pass straight through you hulking farm implement and damage to anything is impossible. Pretty unlikely you will want to play for that long though. Unlike real farmers your in game workers don’t have the need to eat or sleep, allowing you to work them round the clock. Real farmers spend hours preparing fields, just like you will in this game. I guess the key thing to remember here is the second word of the games title, ‘Simulator’. Even if you can then load up your trailer with the harvest and travel at full speed down a 60 degree incline and not lose a single thing… ![]() Whether it harvesting, sowing, or ploughing, it is exactly the same laborious task with the only difference being the equipment you are in and speed at which you can travel without having your implement fall off. And lets face it, that is the core mechanic of the game. I mean when you are harvesting a crop and the field you are in hasn’t even been fully rendered, that is pretty poor. And as expected with a game of such a small install size, it is nothing flash to look at but even worse was the incredibly short draw distances. It is never a good sign when the full install of a game on retail disk only requires a few hundred megs, so as you can imagine, this was my first ‘uh-oh’ moment with Farming Simulator. This Farming Simulator is more akin to a five year old playing with his tractors in a sandpit. Surely all this would be included in a simulation of farming, right? Nope. And then there is all the potential influences that can alter your methods and process, weather, pests, fiscal instability… The list is endless. For one, I have grown up around farms and know any kind of simulation of farming could be a very long and tedious process. Now this is one title I really didn’t know how to approach. ![]() Barrie finds there’s more muck than brass down on the farm. ![]()

![]() Over the centuries, the Order progressed in many areas for the good of mankind while extending its secular power. The Order was held in such high esteem that many European sovereigns urged their more illustrious noblemen to seek admission. Their mission was also to protect the Papal States' shoreline from the Barbary pirates. Some knights took holy orders like monks and were expected to fight to defend the faith and the sovereign. Originally the Order was part religious and part military. The combined Order of Saints Maurice and Lazarus prospered from the support given by the House of Savoy and the Papacy. The galleys of the order subsequently took part in various expeditions against the Turks and the Barbary pirates. As one community, the members devoted themselves to the defense of the Holy See and to fight its enemies as well as to continue assisting lepers. ![]() Grand Mastership of the Order was granted by the Pope in perpetuity to the head of the House of Savoy by Magistral letters patent of January 12, 1573. Under the Grand Mastership of Duke Emmanuel Philibert of Savoy (1553-1580), the Order of Saint Maurice and the Order of Saint Lazarus were united by the Papal Bull Pro Commissa Nobis of Pope Gregory XIII on November 13, 1572. Attempts at unification with other orders by Popes Pius II and Sixtus IV did not succeed until 1572 with the intervention of Pope Gregory XIII and the Savoy Order of St. Lazarus hospital near Capua. Dissensions during this period broke out among the knights and the Order declined until following Giannotto Castiglioni, the position of Grand Master went to Duke Emmanuel Philibert of Savoy in 1571.

Over a century after the death of Amadeus VIII, the Order of St. Maurice was an “ordine combattente” (military order), whose aims were to serve God, promote a monastic life, and to assist the State in its needs. He was also the patron saint of the Holy Roman Empire, of Austria as well as of the Papal Swiss Guards in the Vatican-the protector whose sword, when held by the blade, becomes a cross. Maurice’s martyrdom figured among the highest acts of faith venerated by Christians. ![]() Hundreds of parish churches and towns were named after him. Maurice, the Knight of the Holy Lance, has been the inspiration for the ideals of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table because he was pure of heart and blameless in spirit. He has been portrayed in many sculptures and paintings, sometimes as an African.ĭuring the Middle Ages, his shrine drew hordes of pilgrims on his feast day, celebrated today on September 22. ![]() Maurice d'Agaune at the eastern end of Lake Geneva) for refusing to worship the Roman Emperor, offer sacrifices to pagan gods and persecute his fellow Christians.įor more than 1,000 years, St. He was martyred together with his legionnaires circa 286 A.D. The Order was named after the patron saint of the House of Savoy, Mauricius (sometimes written as Mauricianus or Mauritius), an early Christian who was the military leader of the Roman Empire's Theban Legion in Alpine Gaul. It was founded as a society of noble monks to accompany him on his retreat from secular life. Maurice was established in 1434, at the Castle of Ripaille (on the southern shore of Lake Geneva) by Amadeus VIII, first Duke of Savoy (reigned 1391 - 1440). ![]() ![]() ![]()

Take me for example: most of the time, I would say my personality is closer to my mom’s. Without going and doing a PhD’s worth of research on the topic, I’d say that personality is another polygenic trait, with a dose of environmental factors thrown in for good measure. But human eyes come in a whole spectrum of different shades of these colors, because eye color is a polygenic trait. It is now thought that most human traits are actually polygenic, in other words the result of many genes acting together. If there were just one pair of genes involved in selecting eye color, there would be at maximum three shades of eye color: brown, blue and green. The possibilities quite literally are endless. With all the possible gene combinations, one pair of parents has the potential to produce 64 trillion different children. A baby gets 23 chromosomes from their mother and 23 from their father. There are 60,000 to 100,000 genes (made up of DNA) in a human being’s 46 chromosomes. And I loved even more learning that the reason I could roll my tongue and my mom could not was because this is a dominant gene from my dad (ditto being able to wiggle my ears!) or that the gap between my front teeth was the result of a dominant gene from my mom.īut of course, it’s not quite as cut and dried as high school biology would have you believe. Since my mom’s blue eyes were the result of a recessive gene, she must have had 2 blue genes from her parents – but my dad had to have at least 1 brown gene to make up his hazel eyes. I loved learning that the reason I had brown eyes was because my of my dad. A few years later at school, we did some basic genetics and I was mesmerised. So, she would say, my eyes must have come from my dad while my ridiculously tiny wrists with their prominent ulnar head must have come from her. Surely if I was her daughter, I would also have the blue eyes that I so hankered after? She would always smile and patiently explain to me that things like the colour of your eyes or hair or the shape of your hands and feet are things that you inherited from your parents, and that there was no way of telling which bit you’d get from which parent. ![]() When I was a little girl, I often asked my mom why I had brown eyes when she had bright blue eyes. ![]() ![]() ![]() A good formal valediction is, “Sincerely.” Other warmer closings may not be appropriate for a legal document. Then skip some lines where you’ll put your signature, and type your name or names. Include a formal valediction or closing on a new line. When you included everything above, you’re ready to end the guardianship letter. In an emergency, the guardian won’t spend as much time explaining.

Include as much detail about your location and contact methods as you can. Provide the contact information for yourself. You can skip to the last part of the letter. ![]() If the parent will be in jail or away for other personal reasons, this explanation is not required. They won’t be reachable except by the methods below, which are too slow for them to make expedient decisions.” For example, “Amelia and Peter Earhart will treat children with dental disease in southwest Australia during this time. If you like, you can include why you must grant temporary guardianship. Instead of “we” or “us,” write “I” and “me.” 4. If you are a single parent, change the language to reflect your status. For example: “If it becomes necessary, Hiram Earhart has permission to transfer temporary guardianship to another suitable guardian until he is fit to resume care of Genevieve.” If you do, include a sentence to grant them that power. Make sure to include all your concerns.ĭecide whether you want to let the temporary guardian to transfer guardianship to someone else if it becomes necessary. Or that your child will live with the guardian but doesn’t have permission to travel if they leave the state. You could write, “Make decisions about x-rays and blood tests,” if you don’t want to grant permission for all medical decisions. If you don’t want the guardian to do all these things for your child, tweak the language to include or exclude your specific concerns. Our child will travel and live with the guardian during this period.” “In the event of an emergency, we grant permission for him/her to make decisions about medical, dental, educational and recreational circumstances for our child. Include situations you hope don’t happen, like emergencies. Be very specific about what they’re allowed to do while they care for your child. Next, you grant certain powers to the guardian. With a temporary guardianship, it isn’t usual for there to be an exchange of money. You won’t need to list anything like how much child support you agree to. This legal document authorizes Hiram Earhart, her grandfather, to serve as temporary legal guardian of Genevieve from March 2, 2019, to April 14, 2019.” Include the specific dates the agreement begins and ends.įor example, “We, Amelia and Peter Earhart, are the parents of Genevieve Earhart, and we have legal custody of her. In the “Statement of Consent,” name yourself as the child’s current guardian and then name the person to whom you give guardianship. Always follow a formal salutation with a colon (:), not a comma. ![]() Use something like “To Whom It Concerns:” or “Dear Sir or Madam:”. The formal salutation (or greeting) is another two lines down. The subject should say “Re:” (it stands for “Regarding”) and then “The Guardianship of” followed by the child’s full name. Two lines down are the subject and the greeting. List their full name and address like you did for the parents above. The next block is about the intended guardian, who is also the letter’s recipient. Then two lines down put the date the letter will be signed. The parents’ information goes first, with their full names and addresses. In the letter heading, include basic details like names and addresses. It’s easy if you follow these simple steps. If you must leave for an extended stay, you face a jail sentence or you can’t care for the child for other reasons, a temporary guardianship letter is needed. ![]() Most of the time, you’d give only temporary guardianship, not permanent.

It is singular in form but represents a collection of things. What is collective noun A collective noun is a type of noun that refers to a group of individuals, animals, or objects. However, a handful of obscure phrases have made a comeback, thanks to James Lipton’s wonderful compendium of collective nouns, An Exaltation of Larks. These collective nouns for animals are useful when you want to be specific and add variety to your language. Some have achieved widespread currency and acceptance, like a “flight of stairs,” “a board of trustees,” and a “school of fish.” Others, like a “murder of crows,” barely cling on. Collective nouns include common nouns like ‘group’ and proper nouns like ‘Google’ or ‘The Rolling. Collective nouns are normally not treated as plural, even though they refer to a group of something. Note that pod is also currently used for dolphins. Similar courtesy handbooks caught on, and by the end of the 16th century, a slew of collective nouns had entered the lexicon. Other strange and playful collective nouns for animals include a herd of elephants, a pride of lions, a swarm of bees, and a pack of wolves.

Appended to the hunting chapter sits a list of 164 collective nouns, titled “The Compaynys of Beestys and Fowlys.” (Contrary to the title, many terms actually describe people-a biting example of ye olde satire.)Īs silly as some sound today, the phrases were formal and proper descriptions. Albans was a handbook for medieval gentlemen, and it contained essays on hawking, hunting, and heraldry. Many were codified in books of courtesy, like the 1486 classic Book of St. Most collective nouns, or “terms of venery,” were coined during the 15th century.

To specify, I think people were very disappointed this story didn't turn out to have A) A love-story for Henry and Delilah and B) a "payoff" for its conspiracy and LOST-esque subplots and this is where the disappointed folks diverge from the satisfieds, because they were purposefully misled but if they had thought more about what these things meant in conjunction and what the lack of a "Love" resolution for Delilah and Henry meant, they would've "gotten it". The worst criticism I can give it is that it was slightly anti-climactic and I wouldn't have minded just one more sequence of closure similar to the text-based prologue, but I'm also okay with the game telling me that I make up that epilogue because I had all the information I needed to do so anyway.
