Just had to vent a bit after finding that official definition and knowing that Analogue is shipping all their Analogue Pocket systems via FedEx starting today. I wonder if FedEx is going to be hurting a bit after this holiday season as it seemed like a lot of retailers put their eggs in FedEx's basket this year compared to the past, and they dropped it compared to everyone else. On the extremely rare occasion a package goes missing, but I've never had two packages in limbo at the same time even factoring in the holiday craziness.Įvery other shipping company has been more or less reliable this holiday season except FedEx and when I decided to look more in to it, I see that meaningless status definition and find it pretty annoying that is how they define it. Usually if there's a shipping problem, it's maybe delayed by a day. I also cannot recall ever having such problems from a shipping company other than Amazon Logistics and even those don't happen anymore as their problems likely stemmed from when they were still ramping up their courier service. I can't tell what's worse, one that it somehow getting updated being only "In Transit" or the one that went dark suddenly. So from 8th through today, I've had multiple updates a day of it being "In Transit". Again for those who don't know the geography, Sacramento is a two hour drive away. If your delivery has encountered a delay in transit, FedEx may deliver the package later than the typical 8 PM delivery cutoff. ![]() From the 7th to the 11th it was stuck "In Transit" with up to two updates a day with that status but then after the 11th, it went silent.Ģ) The second package was shipped out of Kentucky on Nov 29th and was making regular progress until it hit Sacramento on the 7th, which the last notable update was it departed from there. What does scheduled delivery by end of day mean FedEx The end of the day means that deliveries are made before the end of the business day quoted in the delivery schedule. It arrived there on the 6th, and then quicklly Departed about an hour later. Nope, for some reason they routed it to Tracy which is a 45 min drive East, so totally out of the way. One would think it would arrive the next day since it was shipped local. ![]() It's a 35 min drive heading south on the freeway. In most cases, when FedEx says end of day it means at 5:00 PM and 8:00 PM at night (for commercial and residential deliveries, respectively). For those not familiar with the geography, it's not very far. Even worse is FedEx customer service has no idea where a package is either when it is in transit since all they know is what the tracking info tells them which seems pretty useless since anyone can tell that from looking at their own tracking number.ġ) The first package was sent on Dec.

In this case, it was the lord who organized and arranged her marriage. In an instance where there was no son to inherit the land, it was the vassal’s daughter who did so. ![]() The lord was also expected to provide security, give military aid and guard the vassals and their children. Since he had only loaned the land to the vassal in exchange for the military service, it was expected that he would maintain the land and cater for all the resources and needs that are required in the land. The responsibility of maintenance of the land was also charged on the lord. All the produce and revenue generated from the track of land belonged to the vassal and his family. Although the land was loaned to the vassal, it was now under his control. One and most importantly was that he to grant land and its revenues to the vassal. The lord’s obligations to the vassals were more or less of the same nature. Another obligation vested upon the vassals was that they were to contribute money if need be. The vassals were also expected to feed and house the lord whenever his majesty traveled across his land. They were to provide an unbiased opinion to the lord. The lords would not be sure, whether or not, to engage in combat with another country. Another responsibility to the lord was to provide him with counsel whenever the lord needed advice or assistance from the vassals. It was expected that, having entered into agreement with the lord, the vassal would respond to a call of military duty whenever the lord thought it to be necessary. One, and the main, of the responsibilities was that he was expected to provide ‘aid’ or military service to the lord. The vassal was expected to perform some duties and responsibilities for as long as he was bound by the agreement. ![]() The public oath was referred to as “homage” (Bloch, 1961). This was to be done publicly in an oath of faithfulness (fealty). In the even of the vassal’s, the one in contract with the lord, death, it was his heir’s obligation to see to it that he has renewed the contract. A vassal held land, also known as fief, from the lord in exchange for his service in the army or in combat. It was basically a win-win situation for both parties. The relationship between the vassals and the lords was base on an understanding between the two parties. What was the relationship between the vassals and the lords? The system was built upon a relationship of obligation and mutual service between the vassals and the lords (Cantor, 1991). The vassals, as mentioned in the introduction, were the persons who paid homage and pledged allegiance to the lords in exchange for the piece of land. It was the lords that administered justice, levied taxes and demanded military service from the vassals. They owned estates and large tracks of land. ![]() Power, in this case, was vested in the lords and barons. The social structure in the country in such a way that power was not vested on a single entity. The conclusion will then be given based on the comparison between the feudal system and the present system of authority. Factors that led to the collapse of the system will also be looked at briefly. ![]() The paper will seek to give a clear and concise outlook of the system by looking at the characteristics and the features of the system. The medieval period in Europe was characterized by hereditary systems of governance. This paper seeks to analyze and discuss this issue. It was just to make the lords feel as though they were not inferior to each other ( Bloch, 1961). The king’s position was basically a formality. The lords held the supreme authority over the area. Although there was the presence of the king, the position was irrelevant in the country. Vassals paid homage and allegiance to the lords and were from then on supposed to serve the lord and their country in as far as military aid was concerned. In this system, vassals gave military and other services to their lords in exchange for protection and the use of the land. Feudalism is defined as a social, economic and political system of Western Europe in the middle ages. ![]() I've been mostly holding myself to watching cutscenes on YouTube, and where I find the English localization, general cinematography and overall atmosphere something that seems to be begged for a remake with a good English cast reading the theatrical script. I really dont trust Bandai Namco to make the port good- but it does seem increasingly likely.īeen on a bit of a marathon of similar political fantasy-based Square-games in preparation for Final Fantasy XVI, and I've been eying on Vagrant Story that seems to sit in a bit of an odd position of being one of the earliest Matsuno-games transitioning to cinematic presented flair as a 3D-action RPG-game. We're getting Baten Kaitos which is the other Bandai Namco published Monolithsoft game, so Xenosaga seems a likely candidate for the future. Even Symphonia needs a remake or a real remaster, since the 'Symphonia Remastered' is nothing more than a shoddily put together port.Įveryone has mentioned Xenogears, but the much more likely option is a Xenosaga trilogy remaster. There's also a ton of the early 3D Tales games (Rebirth, Legendia, Tempest (R, it would need more of a reimagining), Abyss that need remakes, but with how poorly Bandai Namco currently is treating the series, we won't get. It definitely has potential if it was fully fleshed out like the Oath or Celceta reimaginings. Ys V has always been the blacksheep in the series but its story is actually one of the better ones for early Ys standards. I'd like to see to see a Ys V reimagining.

Males are more colorful, as their bright coloration makes them more attractive to potential female mates.Īnother reason females are less vibrant is that they need to hide more effectively from predators during the breeding season. ![]() You can quickly tell the difference between a male and a female just by taking a quick glance at these birds.įemale hummingbirds are slightly larger than males, as they need to be able to produce and lay eggs. Think about male and female cardinals, hens and roosters, peacocks, and peahens. However, they are nowhere near the only sexually dimorphic birds. Hummingbirds, on the other hand, look different from each other depending on what sex they are. For example, you can’t know the sex of the average housecat unless you get pretty up-close and personal. Sexually dimorphic animals are those whose appearance is dependent on their sex. Some species look the same at first glance, regardless of their sex. The first thing to know is that hummingbirds are sexually dimorphic.

In this paper, we examine live streaming shopping, conceptualizing it as a type of online shopping that incorporates real-time social interaction. A content analysis of open-ended questions identified eight reasons for why consumers prefer live streaming shopping over regular online shopping.ĪB - Watching live streams as part of the online shopping experience is a relatively new phenomenon. We found that hedonic motivation is positively related to celebrity-based intention and utilitarian motivation is positively related to product-based intention. Based on prior research related to live streaming and consumer motivation theories, we examined the relationships between hedonic and utilitarian motivations and shopping intention. N2 - Watching live streams as part of the online shopping experience is a relatively new phenomenon. © 2018 Association for Computing Machinery. Several limitations and suggestions for future researcher were discussed.T1 - Utilitarian and hedonic motivations for live streaming shopping In addition, although consumers with highly adventurous spirits were likely seeking newness in shopping, they were not likely to demonstrate high levels of intention to purchase green products without novelty seeking characteristics or a positive attitude toward purchasing green products. Among hedonic motivations, consumers who seek novelty had high purchase intentions with and without forming positive attitudes toward purchasing green products. An additional variance of purchase intention of green products was explained by environmental knowledge, but not by environmental concern when controlling for the three constructs of the TPB and demographics. Although the effect of general environmental motivations, environmental concern and environmental knowledge, in the conceptual model was supported, the results showed differential effects of each environmental motivation on purchase intention of green products. ![]() The issue-specific variable, perceived environmental effectiveness, accounted for no significant additional variance in purchase intention of green products, after controlling for the three constructs of the TPB. Findings supported the significant direct predicting role of the three behavioral intention constructs in the TPB. A series of hierarchical regression analyses was conducted based on theoretical and empirical reasons presented in the literature. A total of 284 eligible data was used for main data analysis. Data was collected through an online panel survey. Broadly, two motivations-environmental motivations and hedonic motivations-toward purchasing intention of green products with inclusion of situation and issue-specific variables were examined in the study. The purpose of this study was to test and extend the theory of planned behavior (TPB) in green product purchasing settings. ![]() This Program Includes a set of programs like Trim, Hue, Merge, Crop, Rotate, Brightness, Saturation, Contrast, Aspect Ratio.
