Top navy 3HM is generally Yuu, Akatora and Bailos on attack, and the same on defense Optimus Prime can be substituted for Yuu, and 914 can still be an effective inclusion on attack. 914 was the most powerful hero in the game on attack, but has become less so with the introduction of Optimus Prime and Yuu and their defensive skills. Top heroes are Yuu, who is especially strong with a very expensive exclusive level 7, Akatora, and Bailos. ![]() Simon is strong in PVP with full perks, and wouldn’t be replaced until Bassel/Nimitz are 4 stars. Simon is the top purple hero, so Bassel or Nimitz and Simon is a common pairing. Nimitz is second and Bellevue third her artillery skill is similar to that of Katyusha, though the proc rate is fairly low. ![]() Top gold hero from the start is Bassel given his strong ATK boost skill and boost from Hero Bond achievements. Late game, rough ranking of army heroes: Optimus Prime, Preycis, Mei, Bradley (exclusive level 7), Katyusha, Ben, Piedmont, Fahed, Villiers (all units), Amalia (all units), Tywin, Rambo. This grouping on attack (particularly in a 3 hero march) can beat even strong navy marches, though the introduction of Akatora has countered this. Ben’s shield (solely on attack) on provides a shield that protects units from 5 attacks this is 6 with lvl 1-4 exclusive skill, and 7 with lvl 5. The strongest late game army heroes are Katyusha, Ben, Optimus Prime and Amalia/Bradley. Fahed is also strong, particularly on defense. When Ben becomes available, he is also very strong in attack. These add +2000 WAR or DEF to these particular heroes, increasing skill impact and unit stats.įor big spenders, Amalia is a versatile hero whose exclusive skill boosts all units, and she gives valuable chests each day with a gold shard chance and other goodies. The Hero Bond achievements in particular make the above gold heroes attractive. Given the cost and rarity of orange shards, most focus on one gold hero (Katyusha recommended) and Rambo. Top initial gold heroes are Katyusha and Bradley. You will unlock second docks/hangars at 80, which changes the game by increasing the limit on ships/planes. Navy has an advantage over Army, given the significant bonuses from unit suppression (think rock-paper-scissors), so a strong Navy march will go far. Army allows for multiple effective marches, given you can easily have 300+ tanks but there is very limited space for navy and air force units – navy takes 6 water spaces, and air force 4. Until you reach level 80, most players primarily use army and navy heroes. Mixing and matching will be far less effective. Pair an army hero with another army hero and tanks, navy hero with another navy hero and ships, and so on. ![]() You’ll find that many heroes ultimately will not be useful figuring out which heroes to pour your limited resources into (shards and experience books) will be critical to success. Other heroes have skills that provide other boosts (such as instant repair, boosted gathering or immediate unit training) these heroes are not recommended for PVP but still are very useful. Most hero exclusive skills boost damage or unit health. Heroes strengthen your marches with skills, buffs and ability to field more units.

![]() ![]() Hopefully we'll be back together soon, but in the meantime, I'll be pinning some Zoom chats and trying to build virtual longest road. Generally, the virtual experience of Catan is a good one it eliminates the peskier elements of the game (keeping track of resources and victory points) but is still just as thrilling (or frustrating) as in-person game play. Alternatives like Colonist.io also do a good job of recreating the game - and seemed to put less strain on our computers - although Catan Universe seems to be the most similar to the actual board game. If you're looking to capture the spirit of Catan, this is a great option. Welcome to the home of CATAN for Gen Con Online Youll find seminars and specials, plus some other great things to share for you for our virtual Gen Con. That being said, it probably can be done for free with a little practice - and it seems like we'll have plenty of time to practice. Considering buying expansions if you're consistently having four players on the board.They’ve coded an excellent Java version of Catan that allows you to play solo or multiplayer basic ‘Catan’ or ‘Cities and Knights of Catan’.

In the midst of the coronavirus pandemic, options for entertainment can seem a little limited. It is also encouraging that Glass Lewis shined a bright light on the unseemly manner in which Conversant and the Company’s leadership re-cut the Amended Transactions, and effectively bought the support of Silk Partners and Arbiter Partners, at the expense of other stockholders. The report issued by Glass Lewis echoes many of our concerns regarding the Board’s failure to effectively size the Company’s financing needs and subsequently run a viable process for pursuing the right quantum of capital on reasonable and equitable terms. "We are very pleased Glass Lewis is recommending that Capital Senior Living’s stockholders vote against the costly, dilutive and poorly-structured Amended Transactions, which would unnecessarily seize significant value from the vast majority of existing stockholders and hand de facto control of the Company to Conversant and Silk Partners following a privately-negotiated agreement. Peter DeSorcy, Managing Member of Ortelius, commented: "In our opinion, voting against the transaction with Conversant is unlikely to send the Company down the path of insolvency, but will instead convey shareholder dissatisfaction with an unfavorable financing transaction and express a desire for the board to secure the capital the Company needs on less dilutive and less egregious terms." "On balance, weighing the foregoing considerations and the salient points made by each of the CSU board and Ortelius in their respective materials and our belief that sufficient capital is likely available from other sources on superior terms, we believe CSU shareholders are best served by voting to reject the proposed transaction." " rather than appealing to the Company's top shareholders simply on the merits of the amended deal terms, it appears the support and participation of Silk and Arbiter were effectively bought through the award of unnecessary fees and unjustified representation on the CSU board, in our view." " the amended deal will potentially result in even greater dilution to existing holders and selling more of the Company's stock to Conversant at even lower prices than under the original agreement." " we are reticent to give the directors deference when it comes to their assessment of the Company's financial position, its review of potential value-enhancing/preserving alternatives, or the evaluation and recommendation of such a significant, transformative financing transaction that effectively amounts to a change of control of the Company at a take-under price." " we note the proposed transaction was approved by a board and a transaction committee comprised mostly of directors who have been at the Company for at least five years, a span during which the Company's investors have suffered significant value destruction." ![]() ![]() "We take an even dimmer view of the proposed transaction when we consider the litany of unfavorable terms for existing CSU stockholders, the incentives provided to Conversant, Silk, Arbiter and CSU management, and the language and tactics used by the board in an apparent attempt to coerce shareholders into accepting what we consider to be an objectively bad deal for existing investors." "On balance, given CSU's improving operational performance and current financial position we are less inclined to believe shareholder support for such a large, significantly dilutive, change-of-control financing transaction is warranted at this time." Please visit for all documents and presentations pertaining to Ortelius’ advocacy on behalf of fellow stockholders. Please note that voting down the Amended Transactions will enable Capital Senior Living’s Board of Directors (the "Board") to finally pursue readily-available financing alternatives being championed by sizable stockholders, such as Ortelius and Invictus Global Management LLC (together with its affiliates, "Invictus"). ("Glass Lewis") recommends that the Company’s stockholders vote AGAINST all of management’s proposals at the upcoming meeting of stockholders (the "Special Meeting") on October 22, 2021, including the costly, dilutive and poorly-structured amended financing transactions (the "Amended Transactions") with Conversant Capital (together with its affiliates, "Conversant").

Clinical signs and findings were recorded at admission (‘0’ Hr and after ‘48’ Hrs. MATERIALS AND METHODS 100 consecutive cases of non-traumatic coma between 5months and 15 years of age were selected for the study. The aim of this study is to study the incidence, aetiology and outcome of non-traumatic coma in children. We have attempted to find the incidence, aetiology and outcome and delineate neurological signs to predict the prognosis in this study. Aetiology of nontraumatic coma varies depending on different geographical area. Due to heterogeneity of causes in these patients, prediction of outcome is difficult and unfortunately no single clinical, laboratory or electrophysiological parameters singly predict their outcome. NON-TRAUMATIC COMA- INCIDENCE, AETIOLOGY AND OUTCOMEĭirectory of Open Access Journals (Sweden)įull Text Available BACKGROUND Acute non-traumatic coma is one of the most common paediatric emergencies, which arouses much anxiety and apprehension in both parents and physicians. Acute pancreatitis continues to increase throughout most of Europe. Gallstone is the dominant aetiology in southern Europe and alcohol in eastern Europe with intermediate ratios in northern and western Europe. The incidence of acute pancreatitis varies across Europe. The highest ratios of gallstone to alcohol aetiologies were identified in southern Europe (Greece, Turkey, Italy and Croatia) with lowest ratios mainly in eastern Europe (Latvia, Finland, Romania, Hungary, Russia and Lithuania). Of 20 studies that reported on trends in incidence, all but three show percentage increases over time (overall median increase = 3.4% per annum range = -0.4%-73%). Incidence was usually highest in eastern or northern Europe, although reported rates often varied according to case ascertainment criteria. The incidence of acute pancreatitis was reported from 17 countries across Europe and ranged from 4.6 to 100 per 100 000 population. A structured review of acute pancreatitis incidence and aetiology from studies of hospitalised patient case series, cohort studies or other population based studies from 1989 to 2015 and a review of trends in incidence from 1970 to 2015 across all 51 European states. This study investigated regional and national patterns in the incidence and aetiology of acute pancreatitis, demographic patterns in incidence and trends over time in incidence across Europe.

With women, it is always the thought that counts. Unless she specifically wants an item, try to make a homemade card and gift.

This all equates to appreciating her for all the big and small things that she does for you and for your family. He who loves his wife loves himself” (Ephesians 5:26-28). In this same way, husbands ought to love their wives as their own bodies. Now, what does this mean for you? It means: “Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her to make her holy, cleansing her by the washing with water through the word, and to present her to himself as a radiant church, without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless. She brings him good, not harm, all the days of her life.” King Solomon, the wisest man of his time, wrote that a godly woman is worth more than rubies and writes in Proverbs 12:4 that “A wife of noble character is her husband’s crown.” Thus, if you’ve married a God-fearing woman, realize how precious and special she is not only to you but also before God. ![]() Her husband has full confidence in her and lacks nothing of value.

In today’s times, a modern day “knight” no longer has to go through all the requirements to become a page and then squire in order to become a “knight.” The proposed Modern Knight’s Code of Chivalry is outlined below. In medieval times, chivalry called for specific, rigorous standards in order for one to become a knight and represent honor, valor, courage and duties to God and to women. Chivalry was dead, but now it is time for a revival. No, to us – there was no such thing as present day chivalry. ![]() There were no longer dreams of modern-day knights opening doors for ladies, holding our books in the hallways or mustering up the courage to pick us up and shake our fathers’ hands on the first date. With age, the image of the valiant knight gave way to the sex-crazed savage portrayed in today’s modern commercials, TV shows and movies, and just like that – we all gave up on our hopes of finding a real-life Prince Charming. However, as we grew up, it became clear we had been disillusioned. My friends and I learned to expect boys to leap off their white horses, draw their swords and prepare to defend our honors at a moment’s notice. As a child I was exposed to Disney princess movies, toys and coloring books. |
