![]() ![]() Underlying each of these games is a sense of player freedom they're sandboxes in the truest sense of the word. Paradox's renown for these grand world-building strategy titles comes from the Europa series, and it's not hard to see why. ![]() It spawned numerous similar titles that were incredibly successful for the studio, most notably Hearts of Iron and Crusader Kings. RELATED: 10 Pro Tips For Europa Universalis 4 What Makes Europa Universalis 4 Unique?Įuropa Universalis has always been Paradox's flagship grand strategy series. This makes it a great get for Epic Games Store users. Europa Universalis 4 is also still actively being worked on, with its most recent expansion Leviathan releasing in April 2021. This is partly due to its huge wealth of rules and mechanics, and the high level of polish on release (bucking the trend of Paradox's games up to that point, which were often seen as buggy at launch). New Epic Games Store titles often debut for free on the store, especially if they are older legacy titles like Europa Universalis 4.Īlthough the game is now over eight years old, it still has a thriving fanbase and stands as one of the highest-rated games in the series by a large margin. In fact, none of the other Europa Universalis games have ever been on the store, so the title debuting for free next week will mark a big step for the franchise in terms of distribution. This will also mark the first time that Paradox Interactive's 2013 title comes to the storefront. Europa Universalis 4 will become free on the Epic Games Store starting on September 30, 2021. ![]()

![]() ![]() With potatoes, it sometimes skidded during peeling, and due to the straight swivel action, peeled skin would often get trapped in the blade. KitchenAid Classic Euro Peeler: This swivel peeler had an average performance.Serious Eats / Amanda Suarez The Competition ![]() Additionally, we found that potato skin got trapped more often in swivel peeler blades. In our tests, swivel peelers were more prone to skidding across the surface of a vegetable and were less agile when it came to getting around the nooks and crannies of potatoes. While it may take some transitioning to embrace Y-peelers if you’re used to swivel peelers, it’ll be more efficient (and comfortable!) in the end to use Y-peelers in the kitchen. The KitchenAid and Rösle all performed well with potatoes, too. We liked the ergonomically designed handle on the Piranha option, which had a slight dip towards the peeler end, giving the hand some extra leverage when moving the blade around a vegetable. Our winning picks, the Kuhn Rikon Original Swiss Peeler and the Kuhn Rikon Piranha Y Peeler, peeled potatoes the cleanest, leaving little to no clean-up needed. Y-peelers also maneuvered more easily around the potatoes’ nooks and crannies, and had less instances of skin getting stuck inside the blade. On average, the Y-peelers we tested peeled potatoes nearly twice as quickly as the straight swivel competition. Shave Parmesan Cheese Test (Winners-Only): To see how each peeler could peel delicate shavings of parmesan cheese, we used our favorites to remove strips of parmesan, noting how cleanly and easily each peeler was able to slice through the cheese.Peel Butternut Squash Test (Winners-Only): Pitting our leading peelers against a hardy, tougher skin, we peeled one butternut squash per peeler, noting how cleanly the peeler cut through the skin and how sturdy the blade was.We observed and noted how much pith was captured versus peel. Peel Lemon Rind Test: We used each peeler to remove strips of lemon peel from one lemon, trying not to catch pith.We also took note of how easy it was to clean each peeler. We noted how easy the peeler was to grip, how cleanly it peeled the potato, and if there was any resistance. Peel Potatoes Test: To examine the general use of each model and to find out how cleanly and quickly each one peeled a potato, we timed how long it took to peel two large Russet potatoes. ![]() ![]() CEW application for longer than 15 seconds whether the application is a single continuous application or from multiple applications.Applications of more than three (3) CEW cycles in a single encounter, regardless of the mode or duration of the application, and regardless of whether the applications are by the same or different officers.Firearm discharges (including unintentional firearm discharges).Strikes to the head, neck, sternum, spine, groin, or kidney area with an impact weapon.Striking of a person with a vehicle that does not rise to a level 3 use of force.Non-weapon strikes to the head, neck, sternum, spine, groin, or kidney area.Canine-inflicted injuries that do not rise to a level 3 use of force.Discharge of a less-lethal launcher/munitions in the direction of a person.Weaponless defense techniques including, but not limited to, open hand strikes, elbow or closed fist strikes and kicks. ![]() Use of OC spray or other chemical agents.Discharge of a CEW in drive-stun or probes deployment, in the direction of a person, including where a CEW is fired but misses.Force that causes or could reasonably be expected to cause an injury greater than temporary pain or the use of weapons or techniques listed below, provided they do not otherwise rise to a level 3 use of force.Forcible takedowns that do not result in actual injury or complaint of injury.“Displaying the Arc” with a CEW as a form of warning.Pointing a firearm, less-lethal launcher, or CEW at a person Force under this category is not reasonably expected to cause injury Techniques that cause temporary pain or disorientation as a means of gaining compliance, hand control or escort techniques (e.g., elbow grip, wrist grip, or shoulder grip) and pressure point compliance techniques.Finally, the Civilian Review Board of Baltimore City (CRB) is a City agency independent of the Baltimore Police Department, through which members of the public can issue a complaint against officers, including allegations of excessive force. Additionally, the Performance Review Board (PRB) - comprised of members of all ranks from the Patrol Division, Criminal Investigations Division, Legal Affairs Section, Education & Training, Public Integrity Bureau, and the Audits and Inspections Division - reviews a sample of all Level 2 use of force incidents for compliance with departmental policy and training guidelines. If not, the unit returns the report for additional investigation and/or documentation. The UFAU determines whether or not all use of force investigative actions have been taken by the officer's chain of command. Furthermore, in all Level 2 use of force incidents, once the officer's chain-of-command has reviewed the officer's actions, the investigation - including the statements of any involved or witnessing officers, statements of any independent witnesses, statement of the subject(s) on whom force was used, video surveillance, photographs, medical records, body-worn camera footage, and any other available evidence - is forwarded to the Audits and Inspections Division for review by the Use of Force Assessment Unit (UFAU). ![]() All Level 1* and Level 2* uses of force undergo an exhaustive, multi-layered review by an officer's sergeant, lieutenant, captain, and major/commanding officer. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Also if an extra report or LUT file is written without being used in this hash, then the check fails without giving any information as to what caused the failure.Īlso human comparison of hashes for multiple sets of files is not verification. So even with all the correct files, combining the hashes in a different order will result in a different result. Is the sorting alphabetically over the whole tape, or are the folders sorted first, then the contents? What sort type is used, pure alphanumeric or a numeric text-based?Īre extra files like reports included? What about sidecar files like LUTs, are they excluded from this master hash? The reason for this is that when making a hash from individual hashes the order of the files needs to be specified. YoYotta doesn't create a single hash as we think it is of little value and can easily give false negatives. Single hash or checksum for entire tapes or drives After verification is complete the checksums can also be stored in MHL, MD5, CSV, ALE and PDF files locally and also on each copy. YoYotta does this automatically at high speed whenever a file is restored. This means that the file can be easily re-checked at any time in the future. The checksums are stored as extended attributes for every copied file. If there are any issues then a warning is logged. If the two checksums do not match then YoYotta rereads the destination file and generates MD5 and xxHash checksums and compares these against the source checksums. So YoYotta archives will always be compatible with any delivery specification.ĭuring verification YoYotta reads back every file from the destination, generates an xxHash checksum and compares this against the source checksum. Whilst copying each file YoYotta generates both MD5 and xxHash checksums, even when Quick Verify is enabled. YoYotta does not support these and we would not recommend using them to avoid confusion and incompatibilities.Ĭhanges to the contents of the file give a different checksum, so verifying by comparing checksums is a great way to ensure that a file has not been changed and is an exact copy of the original. ![]() There are other xxHash variants XXH3 and XXH128. This is the industry standard xxHash and is compatible with other workflow software. XxHash is a newer checksum that is faster to generate, YoYotta uses the xxHash64be which is a 64bit big endian algorithm. As shown here an MD5 checksum can also be generated using the terminal. The calculation of an MD5 is an industry standard so the integrity can be checked on any system. An MD5 checksum is a 32 digit hexadecimal number that represents the hash of the contents of a file. ![]() ![]() The heart of the scent blooms with a feminine bouquet of heady jasmine sambac and pure white rose, made more sensual by a new sweet, floral musky note of ambrette. It opens with Light Blue’s iconic top notes, an addictive duo of crisp Granny Smith apple and tangy Calabrian lemon. Light Blue Italian Love Pour Femme eau de toilette is a sensual fruity floral with a new woody dimension. Casual, daily wear, and nightlife.The new limited edition fragrances, Light Blue Italian Love, for her and for him, introduce new woody notes for a heightened sense of addiction and sensuality. This one is great to wear out on summer days or nights, and one that can get complements since it performs in the heat. It might be a little more versatile, with its appeal versus Forever, which smells like pure grapefruit at times. The Light Blue flankers really lean into the summer appeal of the original, as seen with 2023’s Light Blue Summer Vibes (which I’ll review very soon). It is still there, I just don’t notice it all that often. That being said, most of what you’re going to pick up will be in the first couple of hours. ![]() Still not incredible projection, but nothing to be disappointed by.Īs a weaker skin scent, it’ll hang around for just over 7 hours, on my skin. It projects in that 4-6 foot range, initially, with a normal amount of application. The early stages come with the same blast of citrusy strength that you get with its predecessor, but it settles thereafter. The sillage here is pretty moderate, just like Forever. Probably the guaiac wood mixing with vetiver, but the undercurrent of this cologne is quite a dry freshness. One more thing to note, is that there is what feels like a light smokiness. That’s basically the ending of Italian Love. A little patchouli and guaiac wood thrown in for good measure, but not extremely noticeable. The dry down is a blend of the citrus, musk, and mostly vetiver-dominant woody notes. The bergamot really helps with that, along with the strengthened ozonic accord, and the guaiac wood which makes an appearance in the middle act. Can come across as a fresh cocktail of some sort. It’s interesting that Italian Love has a bit of fizziness to it. Musk and vetiver are carryovers from Forever, maybe the musk is weakened in Italian Love, but it is essentially the same with how it comes across. This is also when the light musk note and woods begin to emerge. Not salty, but leans very blueish and fresh.Īs we move into the next phase, the grapefruit takes a more solid leading role in the citrus top. The violet leaf and green notes aren’t as prominent, but the ozonic gives it more of that airy sea breeze impression. The second difference that I notice, is the toned down violet leaf in this Light Blue versus Forever. The balance is probably around 70/30 in favor of the grapefruit, but the bergamot gives it a better balance. Italian Love brings back the grapefruit note, but this time it is paired with a juicy and slightly sour bergamot note. Or, if the blend of Forever, just put you off. Yet, the differences that are between them, make Italian Love a better buy in my mind, for those who don’t have a bottle of either. If you already have Light Blue Forever, you can probably skip this. Italian Love starts out very close to what you get with Forever. Tried it yourself? Leave your own review and score in the comments section below. Earthy vetiver combines with musks and the heady, mysterious note of patchouli, while the full-bodied note of guaiac wood brings new depth and an intriguing sensuality. It then evolves to an intensely masculine heart, with invigorating green notes combining with violet leaf and the fresh aquatic wave of the ozonic marine accord. Let’s see how D&G describes it: It opens with Italian bergamot and juicy frozen grapefruit, revealing a fresh cocktail.

You must have heard that the choices of formation vary from one squad to another and that the best formation is the one which most suits your team. Thus, there are no good or bad formations, but how you set up your game around a particular formation.Īlso, formations are complemented by your individual play style and players in your squad. In this guide, I will be highlighting some of the strengths and drawbacks of these formations to give you an idea of how to use them most effectively.įirstly, a couple of disclaimers This is all based on my opinion, and this is also not a tactics Masterclass, we’re only talking about a handheld game ( Football Manager Handheld). ![]() Regardless of our progress, at the end of the day, the football we simulate on our devices is not at all like the football we see on TV, and never will. What this is, is a starter’s guide (for the newbies) to help you understand this awesomely addictive game and to get you on your approach to thinking and experimenting with different formations. This article barely touches the superficial layer of each formation’s strengths and weaknesses. And as always, there are exceptions to the rule, so if I suggest that certain formations are good for certain teams with certain styles, and you happen to deviate, by all means give it a try. Either way, when you get your tinkering right and see the impacts on the field, it’s an extremely fulfilling feeling. Note: Certain formations favour certain strategic approaches, and at the end of the day, the goal for each formation remains the same, to create space in dangerous places. Some do it by overloading players in certain areas, and others do it by positioning players between the lines - like an attacking midfielder that plays between the midfield and defense. And also remember, there’re no “automatic win” formations. You must consider your opponent’s formation before deciding which one to employ for your own team. And make sure the formation you pick ought not simply be focused around your own assumptions of if it lives up to expectations or not.īefore choosing a formation, you must establish a vision of how you want your team to play and what you hope the team will accomplish. If you don’t have a vision for how your team should play, how will the players know what’s expected of them? It’s also crucial that you understand that the answers to the questions are ever changing. You can't say I handled the team this way last match, so that's the way I'll handle it now. Try to pick a formation that maximizes your strengths while minimizing your weaknesses. Your players must have the technical qualities to thrive in the system you ask them to play. Asking players to do something they are incapable of doing doesn't make them better players, it makes you a poor manager. Keep in mind that there’s no best formation. ![]() Be that as it may, it is very important that you know what to expect from each player within a particular system. Once you have settled upon what your best line-up and formation is, you shouldn’t tinker with it simply on account of a poor result or two. Remember formations do not score goals, players do! And it all comes down to the quality of your team and players you’re managing.īefore I bring you an in-depth look into these formations, I’ll like to give a little heads up on “ Player Tactical Roles and Team Instructions.” Have faith in your decisions and don’t panic. Player Tactical Roles and Team Instructions are an incredible way to further customize formations to fit your team playing style. I’ve fiddled around with them for a considerable measure of time and I’ve discovered the best Player Roles and Team Instructions for my style that gives me more chances of success. Player Tactical Roles and Team Instructions change a player’s and team behaviour on the field, so you can sort of modify yours to get exactly what you want out of your players and your team. ![]() |
