However, her abilities would cause people to view her as strange and avoid her. Rei would develop psychic powers that she would cultivate by diving through the Sacred Fire at the shrine. Rei would soon move into Hikawa Shrine with her grandfather and work as a shrine priestess as well as befriending two crows named Phobos and Deimos. Her mother Risa eventually fell ill and died, leaving a grieving Rei who began to despise her father for never visiting her mother once as she was dying in the hospital. Rei was an only child and the daughter of Risa Hino and Takashi Hino, a famous politician. The symbol of Mars was present on her forehead. She also wore red high-heeled shoes with straps.

Takeuchi described Rei in her notes as being "slender". Rei is a teenage girl with deep violet eyes and long black hair, that shows off a slight purple tint. Despite her seriousness, she is extremely loyal to Usagi and her fellow Sailor Guardians, and cares a lot about the ones who are close to her. Due to the lack of male role models in her life and her resentment towards her father, she seems to not rely on men and is uninterested in ever getting into a romantic relationship. She remained stoic and serious, making her a rather mysterious character. She has an old fashioned way of thinking, and is very traditional. Rei dislikes modern romantic relationships and resents men. ![]() Naoko Takeuchi provided many additional details on Rei which include: Her entire name is structured as a pun, as the syllable "no" indicates a possessive so that her name can also be understood as "Fire of Rei". Hino: The kanji of Rei's surname translates hi (火) "fire" and no (野) meaning "field" or "civilian". Rei can also be written as “霊,” meaning “spirit,” perhaps in reference to her job as miko. In the Chinese versions of the series (anime and manga), Rei's name is written with the character "麗", which carries the same phonetic as "Rei", but means "beauty" and/or "lovely". Rei: Her given name is in katakana, rei (レイ) and therefore offers no translation or meaning. That's changed in Golarion, but it's a bit confusing since the implication is that you can teleport as far as you want with greater teleport. Sure, there were other planets, but that wasn't really a strong element of game play in the majority of D&D adventures, and it certainly wasn't an expectation in the core rules for D&D. Teleport has a built in range limitation, but greater teleport was classically set up as "unlimited" but WITHOUT the idea that there are other planets in the universe, really, to teleport to. In pretty much all D&D type settings, there wasn't really a well-supported planetary element. Then a part of their adventure would include finding such a device that could bring them back home, or learning the secret of its construction. Thus these amulets allow one-way travel between worlds they would probably be sent back and forth and traded between powerful magicians, and a lower level party could get to another world if they bought or found one, or were perhaps given one by a mysterious patron. A magician with greater teleport could perhaps make a device that when destroyed causes a teleport effect with a destination of the planet on which it was made. They might be smaller than Shantaks, who prey on them.Ģ. There ought to be another creature that can do the same thing - such creatures would probably be Lawful Neutral and would be willing to take passengers - for a fee. Shantaks can take you but they are Chaotic Evil and are more likely to abandon you mid-flight.

I would have been inclined to allow greater teleport to work but with a much greater chance of error. However, I would certainly get more out of the setting if that were so. The setting would need to be rewritten somewhat if people were coming from and going to other worlds on any kind of regular basis. Aside from the weirdness in Numeria there hasn't really been much in the way of visitors from other worlds, and culturally these visitors have not made an impact at all. On the other hand, the Golarion setting was written without much reference to other worlds. ![]() Considering that many of the planets in Distant Worlds would be suitable adventure sites for parties of low to medium level it is kind of a shame that these areas are inaccessible until your party is at ultra-high level. It all depends on how easy you want interplanetary travel to be in your game. ![]() I would have preferred interplanetary teleport to be 8th level so it could be simulated through a wish (though that would get expensive). ![]() ![]() Dave & Buster's is more targeted towards an adult clientele than most location-based entertainment in general, with all guests under 21 required to be accompanied by a guardian and only allowed in until 10 p.m. Buffets are available for special events and private parties.

By simplifying the act of connecting notes, it’s encouraged me to think about how the information I consume integrates with what I already know. This feature is solely responsible for changing how I interact with information. As an example, let’s take a look at my notes on the book ‘Letters from a Stoic’. To link from one note to another, all you need to do is place the title of the note inside double square brackets – ]. You can also interact with them by creating connections between notes. Your notes still get stored in a hierarchy, but opening them isn’t the only way to interact with them. Obsidian takes a slightly different approach. And opening them is the only way you can interact with them. Once created, their stored somewhere within a storage hierarchy where they sit until you open them again. In most note taking apps, notes exist in isolation. Three stand out above all the rest for me. Whilst Obsidian has similarities with other note-taking apps, the differences are what make it shine. For those who need more, there’s an array of plugins to customise the app to better suit your needs – more on this later. The foundation of the app is a robust markdown editor. Instead of pushing a final product tailored to a specific way of thinking, it’s chosen to provide a streamlined foundation that’s highly customizable. Unlike other note-taking apps, Obsidian takes a minimalist approach. But the true power lies in how you can use the files to form an interconnected network of notes. At its core, you can create, edit, and preview markdown files. Obsidian is a free application that’s a combination of markdown editor and knowledge management tool. With all that said, let’s talk about Obsidian.ħ Get Started With Obsidian What is Obsidian? Instead, my aim is to create notes that distil key information from a source, with a focus on how they integrate with existing notes. It’s encouraged me to take a holistic approach to my notes. Not only does Obsidian align with how I naturally think, but it’s transformed how I take notes. My aim for the fourth iteration was to find an application that solved this problem. But problems arose as my natural way of thinking didn’t align with the apps functionality. Notion’s a great tool that did a lot of what I was looking for. Iteration three began when I decided to store my notes in a centralised location. It involved maintaining notes in two locations, and each location had its weaknesses. Both services allowed me to search through my notes, but the downside was that this system was clunky to use. Google Docs was the place for longer notes. Evernote was a great place to store short notes or to capture something quickly. Ditching physical notes in favour of digital ones – done through a combination of Evernote and Google Docs. As my notes amassed, I found that it wasn’t so easy to search through them. It worked, but not without its frustrations. All my notes would get taken on loose sheets of paper that would get filed into binders later. My first attempt at a KM system was a simple one – good old-fashioned pen and paper. University was when I realised that not only did I need to take more notes, but I needed to organise them for future reference. What notes I had taken would wind up stored all over the place. Until then, I’d hardly spent any time taking notes on the books I was reading or the things I’d been learning. Ever since university, I’ve taken an interest in personal knowledge management (PKM). ![]() Raw Thrills has achieved many accolades and awards from the entertainment industry, including the Best of Show Award (BOSA) 2015 award for Jurassic Park Arcade™, and Play Meter 2015 Players Choice award for Big Buck HD™.

I wonder if it uses the RTC at boot, and then the atmega keeps its own time while powered up. So, it looks like there are at least two revisions. It's also got the components for the speaker populated, though I hooked up a speaker, and nothing seems to come out. So I set the time, then unplugged it for a couple minutes, and saw that it actually kept time.įiguring that there's no way that could happen without a battery backed RTC, I popped mine open, and yep. ![]() I noticed when I plugged it in that the time, while wrong, wasn't 12:00 or some other default looking time. this thread inspired me to unbox the Pac Man clock again and find a place for it in the arcade. ![]() Little Opportunity for Decision-Making - Stifled, over-managed employees, are likely to grow frustrated with the lack of freedom, which contributes to high turnover.Ignoring the opportunity for feedback, or providing unhelpful feedback, will leave your employee to flounder, become disheartened, struggle and, eventually, give up. Lack of Feedback and Recognition - If you avoid giving feedback, you might be pushing your employees away.It is imperative to maintain a good work-life balance. Instead, it will contribute to a higher turnover, as employees grow frustrated. Being Overworked - Asking workers to choose between their work life and personal life will never end well.Lack of Growth and Progression - If an employee feels trapped in a dead-end position, they are likely to look towards different companies for the chance to improve their status and income.Understanding why and how turnover should be assessed However, almost 80% of turnover is due to recruiting mistakes, several of these mistakes can be avoided. (2002) have stated that “Unavoidable turnover results from life decisions that extend beyond an employer’s control, such as a decision to move to a new area or a job transfer for a spouse”. Any business organization requires verifying whether voluntary turnover has been dealt with properly. Therefore, employees have no control over and decide to quit their job (Martin and Martin, 2003).Īvoidable turnover has been described as the one organization can prevent through recruiting, assessing, and motivating employees more efficiently and effectively. Employee turnover is regarded as involuntary when leaving the job to take care of a seriously sick family member or to accompany a spouse to a remote area. Involuntary turnover includes retirement, death, and dismissal. Voluntary turnover can be affected by not having job satisfaction, job stress, as well as due to getting a better job at another organization, a conflict with a manager, or personal matters such as staying home and giving enough time to the family member (Manu and Shay, 2004).Ĭhiu and Francesco (2003) define involuntary turnover as “… an instance of involuntary turnover, or a discharge” that “reflects an employer’s decision to terminate the employment relationship”. It is set off by the decision of the employee, indicating “An instance of voluntary turnover, or a quit, reflects an employee’s decision to leave an organization, whereas an example of involuntary turnover, or a discharge, reflects an employer’s decision to terminate the employment relationship”. When employees quit the job from organization, it is stated as voluntary turnover. There are 2 types of turnover, voluntary and involuntary turnover which can either be avoidable or unavoidable. ![]() Low staff turnover means that your workforce is comparatively stable and that employees in your business tend to stick around. If you have high staff turnover, many employees leave your business in a given amount of time. Put, staff turnover is the number of employees that leave your business in a set amount of time. This replacement cycle is known as turnover (Woods, 1995). The term “ turnover” is defined as the ratio of the number of organizational members who have left during the period being considered divided by the average number of people in that organization during the period.įrequently, managers refer to turnover as the entire process associated with a vacancy: Each time a position is vacated, either voluntarily or involuntarily, a new employee must be hired and trained. (2010) also state that employee turnover is a serious issue that needs management and monitoring.Įmployee turnover is the rotation of workers around the labour market between firms, jobs, and occupations and between the states of employment and unemployment. The value of these employees to the organization is essentially intangible and not easily replicated. Organizations have a constant need to continue developing tangible products and provide services that are based on employee retention strategies created by these employees. Today’s business world is faced with heightening competition, in a dynamic environment where the only constant is the employee. |
