Time tracker for jira8/5/2023 ![]() ![]() The Time Tracking Report in Jira shows time tracking data on issues for a certain project version. When finished, you will be able to review the time spent on the task and the time that has remained. Next, indicate a time estimate for a task in hours or days (1d = 8h by default), and make a time entry once you have stopped working on it. To begin with time tracking, first, open Jira’s task settings by clicking on an item in the Board interface. You perform all these activities manually. Or by editing multiple issues using the Bulk change option. Either by entering the values in the Original Estimate and the Remaining Estimate fields on individual issues. It is the difference between the sum of the Time Spent and Estimated Time Remaining fields and the Original Estimate field. Accuracy – The accuracy of the original estimate compared to the current estimate for the issue.Time Spent – The aggregate amount of time spent on a particular issue.Remaining Estimate (Estimated Time Remaining) – The current estimate of the remaining amount of time it would take to complete this issue.Original Estimate – The original estimate of the total amount of time it would take to complete this issue.There are four Jira native metrics (tracking fields) dedicated to tracking time spent on issues: They will help you see how much time your teams spend on tasks and ensure compliance with original time estimates. With the time tracking feature, you will be able to generate Time Tracking Reports. If you happen to have it turned off (or you want to grant the required permissions to the individual users involved in the project), a person with Administrator privileges can configure time tracking settings. The time tracking feature in Jira is enabled in most of the projects by default, so you can start using it right off the bat. And then, we will cover how BigPicture and BigGantt can extend this functionality. First, let’s take a look at what you can do with the native Jira time tracking feature. For those, you will need software like BigPicture and BigGantt that builds up on top of Jira’s native time tracking functionalities to give you more control over your time-and project. But even Jira’s time tracking functionality can be insufficient if you need accurate timesheets and logs. And third, time tracking is automatic if you are using relevant applications.īy relevant applications, we mean robust tools like Jira. Second, they enable you to draw necessary insights which you can use to boost productivity and healthy workflow. What is so great about time tracking in project management applications? First, they can help you replace guesswork with math to make project delivery estimates more accurate. ![]()

Tropico 48/5/2023 ![]() ![]() Trading system – import and export goods to/from other nations to boost your economy or production.National Agenda – receive objectives from Tropican factions, foreign geopolitical powers or opportunities relating to current island events such as ongoing disasters.Council of Ministers – selected citizens to ministerial posts in the government to help push through your more controversial decisions.Six new interactive disasters including volcanoes, droughts and tornadoes. ![]() Unlike Tropico 3, Tropico 4 s missions follow a linear storyline in which a newly elected president (you) rises to power. The missions place you in charge of different islands, each with its own scenario and goals to accomplish. 20 new buildings including Stock Exchange, Shopping mall, Aqua Park and a Mausoleum to El Presidente. Tropico 4 features 20 missions in the main campaign and an additional mission in each DLC pack.Customize the looks of your palace at will and choose from various extras. New campaign consisting of 20 missions on 10 new maps. Tropico 6 offers completely new transportation and infrastructure possibilities.But remember to keep your friends close and your enemies closer as everyone has an agenda! Your political mettle will be thoroughly tested, as new natural disasters will have the populace clamoring for you and your cabinet to help them recover from some of the worst Mother Nature can dish out. Tropico 4 expands on the gameplay of the previous game with new political additions ∼ including more superpowers to negotiate with, along with the ability to elect ministers into power to help get your more controversial policies passed. Your decisions will shape the future of your nation, and more importantly, the size of your off-shore bank account. If you are to triumph over your naysayers you will need to gain as much support from your people as possible. The maps are tiny, you miss space to build and the (perhaps just 4 me) worst aspect is that you cant build from scratch in the missions. The world is changing and Tropico is moving with the times - geographical powers rise and fall and the world market is dominated by new players with new demands and offers - and you, as El Presidente, face a whole new set of challenges. Tropico 6 is just boring -> no campaign, just missions without any connection. ![]()

Chicago kanye listening party8/5/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() Or possibly, the beginning of something or someone reborn. Considering the black trucks and hearses circling the home, it could be possible that the burning of the house and Kanye himself may symbolize the end of something. Kanye would then come out of the house, burning alive in a fireproof suit with a crew putting him right out. The man would be burned alive in the chair with a combination of flames, flares, and lights covering the home. As one of the songs played, the fire began to cover the inside of the house. Kanye Is Either Nearing the End or Being Reborn in FireĪs DONDA was nearing its conclusion and the large home remained enveloped in a white haze, a man tied up to a chair appeared on the screen. Draped in all black, the blood cousin of the late FBG Duck performed the song amid a crew of the performers dressed in black, who bore the star of David - the symbol of the notorious GDs - on their vests.Ĥ. Midway through the performance, as the black brigade of people and vehicles circled the house, rising Chicago artist Rooga was brought out as a surprise guest to perform his celebratory hit “GD Anthem” in front of the packed-out stadium. Kanye has been continuing the “Free Larry Hoover” campaign throughout the album cycle, but in Chicago, the birthplace of the Gangster Disciples, he went above and beyond. ![]() Chicago Artist Rooga Performs “GD Anthem” The show also alluded to heaven, with a stuntman being lifted above Soldier Field, portraying Kanye’s ascension into a CGI-rendered afterlife.ģ. As mentioned earlier, the tone, production, and hooks are highly reminiscent of Jesus Is King, but with more hip-hop elements. Almost every song included the title of several Bible verses that alluded to God’s strength, love, and light, such as Isaiah 41:10, James 2:14-26, and Romans 8:13. Kanye’s usage of Bible verses and other elements of ChristianityĪtop, the replica of Kanye’s childhood home bore a large cross in front of the massive audience that set the tone for the religious elements behind DONDA. And with the help of the gaudy visual effects, fans were captivated at this more extensive narrative - but disappointed at the removal of Hov’s verse.Ģ. Most of the album comes off a much more somber, gloomier version of the Grammy-winning album Jesus Is King, as he’s singing most of the time. There were also times where the audio was rough, and the bass overpowered the lyrics, making parts of Kanye’s words inaudible depending on where you were in the stadium. The verses from Jay-Z, Kid Cudi, Jay Electronica, and The Lox did not appear on the new version of DONDA, while DaBaby served as a new addition. Though fans expected a series of changes on the album, many fans were surprised by the latest updates. The whole show felt like a ceremony of epic proportions that came off as either a dramatic funeral, a symbolistic rebirth, and possibly one of the most unorthodox renewals of vows that over 30,000 people witnessed at the stadium.ġ. time, Yeezy did not waste a second, as he took fans on a rollercoaster of emotions between somber and celebratory with every song. While the show started about 45 minutes later than the announced 10 p.m. His celebrity cohorts Marilyn Manson, Travis Scott, DaBaby, Don Toliver, Westside Gunn, and rising dancehall artist Shenseea sat on the porch of his late mother Donda West’s old home.īehind him on the large screen appeared to be a news channel that played the show’s footage behind a border that showed various Bible verses throughout. However, Chicago received an eerier version with Kanye. Like in Atlanta, Kanye performed the new version of the DONDA without saying a single word outside of his lyrics (which at times were barely audible over the amplified bass).

Max minghella ethnic background8/4/2023 ![]() The overall message is clear, if saccharine: Love can grow in even the most poisonous environment. The other women in the camp encircle them and hold diseased wildflowers as carcinogens float through the air. One of the most poignant scenes this season features a deathbed wedding between Fiona and Kit, who are white and black respectively. The only obstacle to their love is the theocratic government that later separates them.Įven far away in the Colonies, where Gilead sends lesbian "unwomen" and other transgressors to labor and die, interracial love flourishes. In fact, the mistress of the house forces June and Nick into a clandestine relationship that inadvertently provides them both a respite from Gilead's totalitarianism. While Max Minghella, who stars as Nick, the Waterford household's driver and June's lover, is himself a person of color, the show completely ignores his ethnic background. The Handmaid's Tale also ignores potential racial conflict in depictions both before and after the coup. When their little girl's school sends her to a hospital with a fever, the nurses interrogate June about her fitness as a mother, but they never even question whether the brown-skinned, curly-haired girl belongs to the blonde woman. For instance, Luke and June's union produces a child they adore and protect, but the fact that their child is biracial is never acknowledged by the show, much less explored. ![]() Other flashbacks confirm that Luke and June remain curiously oblivious to the fact that they're in an interracial relationship at all. Annie is a black woman, but there's not even a hint of racial tension when she confronts June in public after a yoga class. But in the second season, we get a closer glimpse into this potentially fraught dynamic when we see how June first encountered Luke's wife Annie (Kelly Jenrette). Fagbenle), a black man, was married when he first met June (Elisabeth Moss), a white woman. Viewers already knew from the first season that Lukas Bankole (O. Take one of the series' most important flashbacks. But for the TV series, it was decided that being a fertile woman trumped race." Miller's attempt at a more diverse cast might have been well-intentioned, but by refusing to have the show's characters even see race, he has created a racial utopia that's only getting more fantastical with each passing episode. June's partner is black, and that wouldn't have happened in the original novel because they were segregationists. Margaret Atwood, whose novel forms the basis of the show, justified the series' racial blind spot as an artistic choice in an interview earlier this year: " made the decision that there would be many more multiracial relationships than there had been, since it was in the present time. ![]()

Nocturnal polyuria symptoms8/4/2023 ![]() ![]() About 40% of people with nocturia have difficultly falling back asleep, which results in lower-quality sleep and therefore, reduced physical and mental function alongside irritability, daytime sleepiness, and a higher risk of accidents. While some people are able to fall back asleep after getting up and using the bathroom quickly, others struggle. The main problem regarding nocturia is the disruption to sleep that it causes. You may also experience an increased volume of urine and fatigue or sleepiness. The primary symptoms of nocturia is having to get up and get out of bed more than once throughout the course of a night. If you experience the urge to urinate more frequently due to the inability to completely fill your bladder, your nocturnal urinary frequency may be caused by: If you have difficulty emptying your bladder completely, your nocturnal urinary frequency can be caused by: Urinating more frequently occurs when someone is unable to fill their bladder completely prior to feeling the urge to urinate. Urinating in smaller amounts makes it difficult to fully empty the bladder, thus causing a person to wake up multiple times throughout the night. Nocturnal urinary frequency is the third most common type of nocturia that describes someone who urinates in small amounts or urinates more frequently. Some causes of nocturnal polyuria include: This may be related to fluid retention, which is then reversed when you lay down. Nocturnal polyuria is responsible for up to 88% of cases of nocturia. You urinate regularly during the day or even experience a reduced urine output. ![]() Nocturnal polyuria is when your body makes too much urine, but only at night. In cases of polyuria, your body makes too much urine throughout the day. Polyuria is a condition where someone urinates more than 3,000mL in 24 hours-it is not restricted to nighttime. There are three primary types of nocturia, each with their own underlying cause: polyuria, nocturnal polyuria, and nocturnal urinary frequency. Nocturia during pregnancy tends to go away about three weeks after delivery, as your body returns to normal.Ĭhronic cases of nocturia that represent the statistics we discussed above are a bit different. While pregnancy is a common cause of nocturia, it’s considered a side effect of increased pressure against the bladder rather than a condition. In terms of more defined nocturia, about 80% of elderly people are affected and about one-third of adults over the age of 30 make two or more trips to the bathroom each night. About 69% of men and 76% of women over the age of 40 report getting up to go to the bathroom at least once per night. While it’s completely normal for people to wake up once to urinate, more than that can be a sign of something else happening. It affects both men and women fairly evenly, but severity of nocturia can be exasperated by different reasons. Nocturia is commonly referred to as nocturnal urinary frequency and tends to increase in prevalence as you age. The nocturia medical definition describes excessive urination at night, but what exactly is excessive? According to doctors, excessive urination at night ( nocturia) is when you wake up more than once to use the bathroom during the 6-8 hours you would otherwise be sleeping. In this article, we’ll answer the question, “what does nocturia mean?” and give you some important facts about frequent urination at night. While a lot of people think that urinary problems are reserved for elderly people or those suffering from other medical conditions, that’s not the case. workdays, interrupted sleeping shouldn’t happen every night and if it does, you might be suffering from nocturia. While it’s normal for our sleep quality and time to vary from day to day and on weekends vs. The more often our sleep is disrupted, the worse we feel. This leaves us feeling both physically and mentally exhausted. When we get fewer than 6 hours of sleep each night, our body starts to function less efficiently, and our brain doesn’t get a chance to clean out all of the waste product from the day before. Sleep is a crucial part of our overall health. This leads to disrupted sleeping habits and less than ideal daytime conditions. Millions of Americans suffer from nocturia, or frequent urination at night, and don’t realize that it’s actually a medical condition. ![]()

![]() A version for The Clone Wars dropped in 2008, offering several different parts, including a tonfa handle. It gave kids the ability to bounce between both sides of the Force and fashion more than 1,000 combinations. This kit, boasting electronic lights and sounds, came loaded with more than 20 interchangeable parts and pieces for imaginative Jedi to customize their creations. But the 2005 release of the Ultimate Lightsaber Build Your Own Lightsaber was particularly noteworthy. Goodies ranged from an electronic Count Dooku slicer to a plush version. ![]() Throughout the Episode II and Episode III eras, from 2002 through 2005, a slew of sabers lit up the toy market. Its strobe lights flashed on contact, and cinematic sounds blared during battle. Hasbro’s toy version came in the form of an electronic toy measuring five-feet-long from the tip of one blade to the other. With the arrival of Episode I in theaters in 1999, fans got a glimpse at arguably the coolest lightsaber up to that point: Darth Maul’s double blade. This set the tone for lightsaber releases that would continue to this day. Hasbro took the toy saber to new techie heights with an extendable blade, a light-up feature, and authentic movie sounds. In early 1996, a pair of electronic lightsabers soon followed, available in Darth Vader red and Luke Skywalker green, respectively. It wasn’t until 1995 that Hasbro, the toy giant that purchased Kenner, reignited the line. Kenner put the kibosh on Star Wars toy production in the late 1980s. ![]() Some consider the years 1986 through 1994 to be dark times for the toy Rebellion. Photo courtesy of The Strong, Rochester, New York, USA, . Still, a lightsaber remains a lightsaber, and to quote a certain squatty Jedi master, “Size matters not.” It looked as if it might be better served chopping veggies in Aunt Beru’s kitchen. ![]() Fully extended, the blade would up being substantially smaller in scale to the ones we know and love. The most-tricked out saber to date, it had a clip for budding Jedi to attach to their belts, an automatic extendable blade, and a glowing feature. To coincide with the Droids Saturday morning cartoon, Kenner released a Droids Lightsaber in 1985. The Force Lightsaber continued through the Return of the Jedi years, although the yellow blade got the boot for neon green. Swing it like a Kenobi, and it would make whistling noises that came surprisingly close to a saber hum. Each saber featured little holes on the end of the blade. The result proved to be The Force Lightsaber, a more-than-3-foot-long plastic tube, available in either yellow or red. When The Empire Strikes Back blasted the box office in 1980, Kenner brass decided to reimagine the toy saber. Each lightsaber came with a patch kit for repairs. Thanks to forward-thinking toy honchos, all wasn’t lost. ![]() Sounds like playtime bliss, right? Well, overly excited wannabe Skywalkers often dueled so hard their blades would spring a leak, deflating the fun. The toy lightsaber commercial featured kids slinging their blades and swatting at silver balloons, the latter a stand-in for Jedi training remotes. Although no yellow lightsaber can be found in A New Hope, the color stayed in step with the one brandished by the Luke action figure. Designers basically took a flashlight and connected it to an inflatable yellow vinyl blade. As one of the first Star Wars toys on the market, it lit up toy aisles, literally. In 1978, Kenner execs knew Padawans would go ga-ga over a toy version of the Star Wars lightsaber. ![]()

To kill a kingdom book age rating8/4/2023 ![]() The presence of fairy tales is never too far away, and perhaps that’s what kept me turning pages so rapidly although it isn’t The Little Mermaid retold there are elements of that story woven into the depiction of the characters and the world. There’s a special kind of magic to Christo’s writing, a sort of lyricism that doesn’t sound too different to that entrancing melody the sirens are equipped with. I was nestled into my cosy reading spot with a bit of chocolate and a cup of coffee and then all of a sudden I was being hauled along by the first few chapters, so intrigued that the coffee went cold and the chocolate sat forgotten for a little while longer. It’s not often that a book hooks you from the first few pages, but that’s what happened this time around. ![]() “Could it really be such a bad thing, to become a story whispered to children in the dead of night? A song they sing to one another while they play?” To Kill a Kingdom is not only riding that wave but wonderfully surfing it. There are several books coming out this year with a focus on the ocean, including Daughter of the Siren Queen, The Wicked Deep and Sea Witch. Mermaids and sea tales are fast becoming a YA trend. ![]() Everything comes at a cost, even trust, and saving his kingdom might turn out to cost even more than a prince can pay. She offers to help him track down an ancient key which will destroy the sirens and the Sea Queen for good, but he begins to think he might be out of hid depth. When he rescues a girl floating in the middle of the sea, with no wreckage around her, and no sign of a ship, he can’t help but wonder at her origins. He’d rather be on his pirate ship, the Saad, hunting down the vicious sirens who kill his people. Prince Elian is not entirely comfortable in his role of heir. Lira has only one option open to her– steal Prince Elian’s heart or remain a human forever. But after Lira kills a mermaid trying to steal her prize, the Sea Queen punishes her in the most brutal way she can think of– by turning Lira into a weak, defenceless human. At least, until she sets her sights on her next target: Prince Elian, heir to the most powerful kingdom in the world. With the hearts of seventeen in her collection, she is both feared and revered in every corner of the world. To prove her worth, she must be just as vicious, stealing the hearts of human princes under the guise of the Prince’s Bane. Lira is a siren, born to the lethal, ruthless Sea Queen, and destined to take her place when she comes of age.
