![]() Here are some considerations when using the calculators: The first column in the Resources Required box is based on 40-hour work weeks and the second column is based on work weeks that average 42 hours. The schedules that average 42-hours a week have one 48-hour week every 4 weeks (with 8-hour shifts) or one 50-hour week every 5 weeks (with 10-hour shifts). The schedules that average 40 hours a week always use five 8-hour shifts per week or four 10-hour shifts per week. 8 employees working an average of 42 hours a week.8.4 employees with 40-hour work weeks (which would have to be rounded up to 9 employees), or.For example, 2-person coverage with 8-hour rotating shifts requires: You should look at both options to compare the staffing requirements. ![]() This averages 42 hours/week.įor 8-hour and 10-hour shift schedules, most of the average work weeks are either 40 hours or 42 hours.

The results will be shown to the right, in the boxes with the blue background.įor 12-hour shift schedules, the staffing requirements are based on an average work week of 42 hours.

Fixed shifts often require more personnel with 8 and 10-hour shifts, so they require different calculators. Choose one of the five different calculators shown below.

![]() ![]() He wasn’t totally ready to head back into the real world. Having seen what had happened to Ned Goodwin when he tried to cover up the past and his own mistakes, Henry had edged maybe closer to some emotional resolve, but it would have felt false to me if he’d left Shoshone a changed man. Henry and Delilah’s relationship is more sewn up than I would have liked, but by the end, he, at least, felt like he was still struggling. Personally, I don’t like to think of the ending as that complete. ![]() An optimist might look at it like this: the fire burns, taking the national park and all of Henry’s reasons for being there along with it, and he leaves it behind to rejoin people and restart his life. Yet at the end, he literally reaches out and grabs a person – Firewatch climaxes with a physical reconnection to people. ![]() Henry is out here to get away from it all. Apart from Delilah’s voice, and the distant visage of the two teenagers, both of which only increase your sense of isolation, this is a game where you don’t see a single human being, let alone touch one, the entire time. Better would have been for Delilah to just get on the helicopter, leaving Henry to find his own way back, silent and alone.Īlthough, I did enjoy the very ending, when Henry reaches out and grab’s the fireman’s arm. And so for the game to end on such a frank emotional exchange feels wrong. Sat in their observation towers – man-made eyesores, visible for miles around against the clear Wyoming sky – the characters in Firewatch are hiding in plain sight. The game’s dialogue choices don’t mean much, roaming the landscape provides little in the way of tangible videogame reward and the very nature of Henry and Delilah’s job is seclusion – Firewatch’s core, Hitchcockian mystery involves a father not wanting anyone to know what happened to his son. But Firewatch I think genuinely earns a vague conclusion. Ambiguous endings often feel like cheats, as if the writer, in lieu of knowing how to resolve her story just left it wide open, and then dressed her indecision up as meaning. Jesus, do you really know anybody?īut then you sit down to call your own evacuation helicopter and Delilah is on the line, and in your final conversation you tie off a couple of loose threads: Henry decides to go (or not go, depending on your dialogue choice) to see Julia, and Delilah says she won’t have time to meet Henry for a date. Even when you arrive at Thorofare itself, the power of that ending is still intact – looking through the former living quarters of the now departed Delilah, you get an all important sense of loss and wanting. And that’s a wonderful, visually wonderful ending, the central character, wandering by himself, through the flaming wreckage of the game and by extension the events that bought him to this point. It’s just you now, walking through the burning forest. ![]() After a few casual goodbyes she boards the chopper and leaves, and for the first time in Firewatch, you’re truly, utterly alone, no Delilah on the radio, no teenagers swimming in the distance, no Ned snooping around the caves. There’s a fantastic moment, during Henry’s climactic hike to the extraction point at Thorofare Tower, where Delilah tells him that she’s getting on a helicopter now and leaving. The ending, too, could have been trimmed. All of the stuff about Julia, her relationship to Henry, her condition and why he’s taken this job is pretty much covered, or at least sufficiently hinted at, during conversations with Delilah later on. That intro could just be chopped entirely. I understand that you’re supposed to be shaping your character and that it acts as a kind of alternative customisation screen where instead of physical attributes you assign him a personality and a history, but it’s so obvious and jarring – considering how much the rest of the game pulls back and leaves emotions and events to percolate, putting your character’s life and history in literal writing, and framing it as a cheap choose your own adventure story, starts Firewatch off on a deafening wrong note. THIS POST INCLUDES TOTAL SPOILERS FOR FIREWATCH ![]() ![]() ![]() The drop-down menu set to Red allows you to choose between a red on white color scheme, a black on white color scheme, or an over and under color scheme. The drop-down menu set to Default allows you to choose between Default and 15 other threshold techniques. You have different options for setting a manual threshold. This will permanently apply the threshold settings and convert the image to binary. When you are satisfied with the threshold settings, you can then hit Apply. The pixels within the threshold range are displayed in red. The threshold can be set using the slider bars. ![]() Monochrome images are most simply thresholded via the menu command Image › Adjust › Threshold. There are several ways to set thresholds. All pixels in the image whose values lie under the threshold are converted to black and all pixels with values above the threshold are converted to white, or vice-versa. A threshold range is set to tell the objects of interest apart from the background. RAW Threshold Watershed “AnalyzeParticles” Setting a thresholdĪutomatic particle analysis requires a “binary”, black and white, image.

![]() Drivers can't randomly lose interest in the team or have a fallout with an engineer for example. There are no ranfom dilemmas or events that pop up. Off the track, I havent really had any issues with designing parts, but the scouting system is extremely shallow and kinda disappointing, the cash management is also suprisingly very easy. Only front and rear wing damage is visible, no tires coming off or car deformation. The retirement system needs to he overhauled. There is no mid session save, or auto ERS for some reason, both of which are present is all Motorsport Manager titles. The ERS usage is the most accurate part, but it has to be micromamaged which is very tedious, especially for casual players. ![]() DRS trains start because a slower car cant be passed in the DRS zone, but in the game its because the front two cars are swapping places. This causes yo-yo effects with in turn leads to DRS trains. The difference between softs and hards in the game should be the difference between fresh softs and worn softs. Keep the tyres above 30% and a one stop mediums to hards is very easy. To get the obvious out of the way, the tyre management is incredibly bare-bones. Some parts of the game are just underwhelming. These are the things i overall enjoy, the game is gar from unplayable and hopefully everything else in this review will at least be tweaked come tommorow. On a major mistake or overtake the reactions seem real and emphasize the emotions you may have. The cuts to the garage on minor mistakes are hilarious to me and will never get old. The replay cameras are a fantastic ideas although they get kinda repetitve. Although ERS needs to be tediously micromanaged, overall its still very rewarding exceeding the boards expectations in a race. ![]() The broadcast and onboards are very immersive and realistic, and it's something about watching the official F1 cars go around official F1 tracks is engaging as it can be, even in the animations are scuffed. The game looks really nice and is presented very well. No matter what i have to say about this game in the rest of this review, i cant deny that it is very fun. In this review, I will compare it to All 3 Motorsport Manager Titles: MM on PC, MM2 and 3 and mobile as those games are the benchmark for a racing manager game. ![]() F1 Manager 2022 is.polarizing, this is my opinion on the game (yes im aware nobody cares) ![]() ![]() Most of the patients and staff are Muslim these days, but director Ciamak Morsathegh is Jewish. It is one of only four Jewish charity hospitals worldwide and is funded with money from the Jewish diaspora - something remarkable in Iran where even local aid organisations have difficulty receiving funds from abroad for fear of being accused of being foreign agents. it was a very big insult to Jews all around the world," says Mr Mohtamed, who has also strongly condemned the exhibition of cartoons about the Holocaust organised by an Iranian newspaper owned by the Tehran municipality.ĭespite the offence Mahmoud Ahmedinejad has caused to Jews around the world, his office recently donated money for Tehran's Jewish hospital. "It's very regrettable to see a horrible tragedy so far reaching as the Holocaust being denied. President Ahmedinejad has repeatedly used anti-Israeli rhetoric Mr Mohtamed has been outspoken in his condemnation of the president's views - in itself a sign that there is some space for Jews in Iran to express themselves. Mr Ahmedinejad has repeatedly used rabid anti-Israeli rhetoric - slogans like "wipe Israel off the map" - and most controversially he has questioned the number killed in the Holocaust during World War II. Mr Mohtamed says the incident was defused by the Iranian security forces, who explained to people that the news was not true.Īnd with the coming to power of an ultra-conservative like President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, there has been increased concern internationally about the fate of Iranian Jews. "This provoked a number of opportunists in Shiraz," explains Iran's Jewish MP, Maurice Mohtamed, "and there was an assault on two synagogues." The paper falsely said the synagogues were in Iran - even describing one as the Yusufabad synagogue in Tehran and locating another in Shiraz. ![]() ![]() Mr Hammami says state-run television confuses Zionism and Judaism so that "ordinary people may think that whatever the Israelis do is supported by all Jews".ĭuring the fighting in Lebanon a hardline weekly newspaper, Yalesarat, published two photographs of synagogues on its front page full of people waving Israeli flags celebrating Israeli independence day. These days anti-Jewish feeling is periodically stirred by the media. Over the centuries there have been sporadic purges, pogroms and forced conversions to Islam as well as periods of peaceful co-existence. Jews have lived in Persia for nearly 3,000 years - the descendants of slaves from Babylon saved by Cyrus the Great. ![]() In the Yusufabad synagogue the announcements are made in Persian - most Iranian Jews don't really speak Hebrew well. "Imam Khomeini made a distinction between Jews and Zionists and he supported us," says Mr Hammami. He says the father of Iran's revolution, Imam Khomeini, recognised Jews as a religious minority that should be protected.Īs a result Jews have one representative in the Iranian parliament. ![]() "Because of our long history here we are tolerated," says Jewish community leader Unees Hammami, who organised the prayers. It is not a sight you would expect in a revolutionary Islamic state, but there are synagogues dotted all over Iran where Jews discreetly practise their religion. It is dawn in the Yusufabad synagogue in Tehran and Iranian Jews bring out the Torah and read the ancient text before making their way to work. The Jewish presence dates back nearly 3,000 years.Īlthough Iran and Israel are bitter enemies, few know that Iran is home to the largest number of Jews anywhere in the Middle East outside Israel.Ībout 25,000 Jews live in Iran and most are determined to remain no matter what the pressures - as proud of their Iranian culture as of their Jewish roots. ![]() ![]() ![]() This particular computer can be created after receiving a recipe from Demetrius as part of “Biome Balance” or “Aquatic Overpopulation” special commands.
