The Korte Company was awarded the design-build contract for a new 188,000 SF manufacturing facility for The Knapheide Manufacturing Co. located in Quincy, Illinois. Knapheide's new line of military-grade aluminum truck bodies will be manufactured in the new facility. The new plant is located directly south of the company's existing 480,000 SF manufacturing facility, which was originally constructed by The Korte Company in 1995.
The scope of work for this project consisted of a new 188,000 SF building manufacturing facility, including a 10,500 square foot office area. The single-story building was constructed using concrete tilt-up wall panels and steel framing at the manufacturing portion and metal studs walls, steel frame, and curtain wall system and glazing at the office area.
The building's sprinkler system is all encompassing, including a foam suppression system at the hazardous material storage area. Other items of work included mechanical, electrical, plumbing, low-voltage, compressed air lines, and hook- ups for the owner-provided and installed equipment.
Site work included grading, pavement, site lighting, flag pole, monument signage, landscaping, personal vehicle parking, trailer storage parking, storm water basins, and utilities connections.

Facebook has become very successful over the years. It's not only for communication, but also for sharing information. It started out for just college students now practitcualy everybody has an account. Even able to talk to people in other countries for free rather than spending money on a phone bill.
538 words - 3 pages communicate with each one. Having different personalities and a group will allow the group learn more and possibly achieve more due to the face that we learn from each other. We need to learn how co-exist in the group to achieve our goal. Communication will be in a human way with respect. I always go by "Treat people the same way you like to be treated". Different situation calls for different ways of communications for example friends interact and communicate in a total different way than coworkers. And the same goes for learning styles.

Q: VC++ Compile error on DLL project Here is my code:
#include "stdafx.h"
#include <Windows.h>

extern "C" int __stdcall myfunction ();

BOOL WINAPI DllMain ( HINSTANCE hin, DWORD reason, LPVOID lpvReserved );

int __stdcall myfunction ()
{
      MessageBoxW(NULL,L"Question",L"Title",MB_OK);
      return 0;
}

BOOL WINAPI DllMain ( HINSTANCE hin, DWORD reason, LPVOID lpvReserved )
{
    return TRUE;
}

When i compile show these errors:

error LNK2028: reference to simbol
  (token) unresolved (0A000027) "extern "C" int stdcall
  MessageBoxW(struct HWND *,wchar_t const *,wchar_t const *,unsigned
  int)"  (?MessageBoxW@@$$J216YGHPAUHWND__@@PB_W1I@Z) in the function
  "extern "C" int __stdcall myfunction(void)" (?myfunction@@$$J10YGHXZ)
error LNK2019: External symbol "extern "C" int stdcall
  MessageBoxW(struct HWND *,wchar_t const *,wchar_t const *,unsigned

  the function "extern "C" int __stdcall myfunction(void)"
  (?myfunction@@$$J10YGHXZ)

I dont understand where is the error and their cause.
If someone can help me to fix it I will thanks alot :)

A: Thanks everyone, but the problem was the user32.lib.
#include "stdafx.h"
#include <Windows.h>

#pragma comment(lib,"user32.lib"); //Missing lib (No compile errors)

BOOL __stdcall DllMain(HINSTANCE hInst, DWORD dwReason, LPVOID lpReserved) {
    return  TRUE;
}

extern "C" __declspec(dllexport) void __stdcall SomeFunction() {
    MessageBoxA(NULL, "Hello", "HELLO", 0x000000L); //0x000000L = MB_OK
}

I hope this gonna to be helpful for noobs like me.

A: The extern "C" needs to be on the function, not the definition:
int __stdcall myfunction ();

extern "C" int __stdcall myfunction ()
{
      MessageBoxW(NULL, L"Question", L"Title", MB_OK);
      return 0;
}

however, instead of attaching extern "C" to it all, you could wrap it in a pre-parser conditional:
int __stdcall myfunction ();

#ifdef __cplusplus
    extern "C" {
#endif

int __stdcall myfunction ()
{
      MessageBoxW(NULL, L"Question", L"Title", MB_OK);
      return 0;
}

#ifdef __cplusplus
    }
#endif

Italian businessmen played a key role in both international trade and finance from the Middle Ages until the first decades of the seventeenth century. While the peak of their influence within and beyond Europe has been thoroughly examined by historians, the way in which merchants from the Italian peninsula reacted and adapted themselves to the emergence of greater commercial and financial powers is mostly overlooked. This collection, based on a vast variety of primary sources, seeks to explore the persisting presence of Florentine, Genoese and Milanese intermediaries in some key hubs of the Spanish monarchy (such as Seville, Cadiz, Madrid and Naples) as well as in eighteenth-century Lisbon. The resilience of powerless merchant nations from the Italian Peninsula in the face of increasing competition in long distance trade is deconstructed by analyzing the merchants' relational dimension and the formal institutional resources they found in the host societies. By offering new insights into the mechanisms of circulation of men, goods and capital throughout the Iberian world, this book will contribute to better assess the polycentric nature of the Spanish monarchy and, more in general, the complex system of commercial exchanges in the age of the first globalization. This book was originally published as a special issue of the European Review of History/Revue européenne d'histoire.

Tru Valu is a series of drawings made by pricking the design through the reverse of the paper. The series considers the relationship between decoration and function and the value judgments attached to each, and the dichotomy between perception and reality that permeates the lives of ordinary women. The drawings reference lace, doilies and other decorative materials associated with the domestic world, embedded with functional hardware and component parts. The works make reference to intimate body parts and bodily functions, and to skin textures like goose flesh and razor rash. The title for the series is a reference to the chain of hardware stores where I source my materials.

Enjoy Nature's Super-Food in Nicaragua
Nicaragua's fertile soil and temperate climate provide the perfect environment to cultivate a wide range of tasty fruit and vegetables. In addition to the common yellow banana known all over the world, Nicaragua produces some more unusual varieties such as the red colored 'banana Caribe' and rectangular-shaped 'guineo cuadrado'. But whatever shape, size or color they come in, bananas are packed with vitamins and minerals, offering a nutritious meal or snack with a host of health benefits making them a worthwhile addition to everyone's daily diet.
Although generally viewed as a fruit, the banana plant is botanically classed as an herb. Banana plants produce a single large purple flower around which the bananas develop. Each plant produces a single bunch of bananas with between 3 and 20 tiers. Once these are harvested, new banana plants start growing around the original plant and these will produce bananas around 12 to 18 months later.
The calcium in bananas is said to aid in building strong bones, while the potassium prevents muscle cramps. The potassium in bananas also helps to lower blood pressure and offers a degree of protection against strokes and heart attacks, while its iron content may prevent anemia. High levels of tryptophan in bananas, which is converted into serotonin, can assist in dealing with depression. Snacking on a banana between meals aids in stabilizing blood sugar and increases alertness. High levels of B-vitamins found in bananas aid in coping with stress.
Wrapped in their own biodegradable packing, bananas make a handy snack at any time of the day. In Nicaragua bananas are used in a variety of ways, including being blended with milk, or baked and served hot with other ingredients such as cheese. Its leaves may be used to wrap other ingredients in before cooking, such as in the traditional Nicaraguan dish nacatamales. Moreover, banana stems can be used to make paper, and overripe bananas are used to make vinegar. Certainly bananas are among nature's super-foods. So be sure to enjoy the different varieties, prepared in different ways, when visiting Nicaragua.

It comes at a time when the Oilers were starting to string a couple wins together, having won two straight and three of their past four. Connor McDavid had gotten over the flu, Zack Kassian finally scored and Talbot was starting a mini-revival in the crease.
Perhaps Matthews will be slowed down a little by the cold he is nursing. He failed to record a shot in his last game (which nearly led to Canada declaring several days of mourning), the first time in his career he's done so. He also hasn't scored in five games.

Zeiss Distagon T* 28mm f/2 ZF (ZE) (on Canon EOS) - Lab Test / Review
Lens Reviews - Canon EOS (Full Format)
Review by Klaus Schroiff, published April 2010
Lens kindly provided for testing purposes by Markus Stamm!
The Zeiss Distagon T* 28mm f/2 is a fast wide-angle lens available for Nikon (ZF.2), Pentax (ZK) and Canon EF (ZE). In terms of execution and style it is almost indistinguishable to its nearest cousins - the T* 35mm f/2 and T* 25mm f/2.8. Typical for all Z-series lenses it's a manual focus lens. The focus indicator in the viewfinder remains active (ZE) so there's a little guidance here at least. The ZE versions use an electronically controlled aperture so it can be operated via the camera (the ZF.2/ZK variants feature also a classic aperture ring).
Unfortunately we weren't able to get our hands on the ZE version so we had to use the ZF variant via adapter. However, there aren't any differences apart from the mount specific aspects so our conclusions regarding the optical performance will be fully valid for ZE lenses as well.
According to the Zeiss naming convention "Distagon" refers to a "retro-focus" lens based on an asymmetrical design. The asymmetry in necessary to provide the required space for a SLR mirror. The first Distagon lens was introduced in 1953 - a 60mm f/5.6 for the Hasselblad 1000F. The design evolved over time, of course, and it's no longer just used by Zeiss but across the whole industry.
The build quality of the full-metal Zeiss (brass with chromium-plated brass front bayonet) is superb. The fluted focus ring feels exceptionally well damped. The front element does not rotate. However, the physical length changes (extends) when focusing towards close distances. If anything the front cap leaves something to be desired - it doesn't provide much confidence that it'll stick to the lens if nudged a little.

Still getting the P0420 error, but its intermittent. Something the ECU will fail the cat, other times it doesn't seem to care. There was a TSB about this where the ECU would be replaced, but I don't feel like forking for a new ECU over a light.
Drives smooth as silk, but my steering wheel is slightly off. Figuring I need an alignment. Going to try a driveway alignment probably tomorrow to see if I can get it ball park.
Did get a recal while driving, happened yesterday too. Battery pack seems to run better after each recal, so no biggie.
Maybe I'm biased, or just nuts, but while the Insight is very cool to drive, its also pretty boring. There is very little excitement to the drive. Shift her into first, rev up to around 1-1.2k, clutch and go, no noise, no real feeling of acceleration, no sensation of major movement, just quietly and fairly effortlessly putter up to speed. You could be revving around 5-6k in first and you just here a jet engine like buzz. Theres no drama. Its just mundane. Handles well though, easy to point and shoot.

Food and Drink, Apparel, and Financial Services: Non-Endemic Sponsor Recap for Q2 2019
byAndrew Hayward
Share on TwitterShare on LinkedInShare on Reddit
Atlanta Reign, Cloud9, Complexity Gaming, Counter Logic Gaming, Flyquest, Golden Guardians, London Spitfire, Pittsburgh Knights, Team Liquid
Farming Simulator 19, Fortnite, League of Legends, NBA 2K19, Overwatch, Rocket League
The first quarter of 2019 saw a surge in partnerships between esports teams, leagues, and events and non-endemic brands. That trend continued into the second quarter, which produced even more non-endemic deals than in Q1.
The Esports Observer reported on 82 such deals between April and June—a 7% increase over the 76 deals reported on during Q1 2019, and a 68% year-over-year increase over the 48 deals covered in Q2 2018.
As with the previous quarter, the rising tally represented not only more sponsorship deals, but also very significant ones, this time with brands such as Bud Light, Marvel Entertainment, Chase , Microsoft , and Ticketmaster .
Plenty of Food and Drink

The food and drink category continued to be a significant driver of non-endemic sponsorships in Q2, with several key deals worth highlighting.
Alcoholic beverages provided two of the most notable sponsorships of the quarter, beginning with Anheuser-Busch InBev sponsoring the Overwatch League for the rest of the 2019 season. The deal makes Bud Light the official beer of the league for everywhere except China, and includes live activations at events and sponsored TV broadcasts. Rival beer brand MillerCoors , meanwhile, partnered with Complexity Gaming to name the Miller Lite Player Lounge at the team's new headquarters in Frisco, Texas, and jointly produce a content series.
We saw a few more energy drink brands add esports team sponsorships during the quarter, as well, with Echo Fox signing CELSIUS, FlyQuest partnering with teaRIOT, NRG adding Sneak, and eUnited teaming with Razer's new RESPAWN powder mix. Additionally, Danone's Font Vella bottled water brand in Spain sponsored four top Spanish teams—Mad Lions , Team Queso , Vodafone Giants , and X6tence —and released special-edition bottles featuring each team's respective logo.
On the food front, the quarter's most prominent deals include Chipotle Mexican Grill's alliance with both DreamHack and ESL, which includes partnering for Chipotle Championship Series esports tournaments. DreamHack also partnered with Doritos, while Nestlé's LION Cereals brand sponsored the League of Legends European Championship (LEC) Summer finals in Greece.
Additionally, candy brand Kit Kat partnered with the Overwatch League's Los Angeles Valiant and will sponsor the league's first rivalry weekend in August, while a partnership between 100 Thieves and Totino's yielded a 10-week content series.
Lots More Apparel

Team Liquid's partnership with the Disney-owned Marvel Entertainment was one of the biggest non-endemic deals of the quarter, and it first manifested itself via apparel. The organization's League of Legends Championship Series (LCS) team wore Captain America-themed jerseys during a Rift Rivals event broadcast, at which point the companies launched a line featuring that and other co-branded clothing items. The partnership will later include content creation and other initiatives.
Puma and Cloud9 had previously announced a short-term LCS sponsorship in January, but in May announced a multiyear deal that spans all Cloud9 teams except for the Overwatch League's London Spitfire . The sponsorship was pegged as an "eight-figure" deal by the companies, and will include a broad retail push for the upcoming lifestyle apparel line.

Other prominent Q2 apparel deals include Adidas sponsoring Spanish organization Team Heretics, with co-branded clothing going on sale at Gamergy in Madrid in June. Armani Exchange became a jersey sponsor of Italian organization Mkers in May, marking the company's first foray into esports. Also, Fila sponsored Counter Logic Gaming's Fortnite team in its own first-ever esports deal, with the players set to wear Fila apparel during Fortnite World Cup broadcasts this month.
Financial Sponsors Increase
Credit: Complexity Gaming
Financial apps and services made a few esports moves in Q2 2019, with a couple of mobile payments apps aligning with top teams. Square's Cash App was announced as a sponsor of 100 Thieves' content house in Los Angeles, following a late March promotion in which team CEO Matthew "Nadeshot" Haag handed out thousands of dollars via the app.
Additionally, Team SoloMid (TSM) announced a partnership with PayPal's Venmo app, which a source tells The Esports Observer will include an activation around Fortnite pro and streamer Ali "Myth" Kabbani. Another planned activation will see TSM give away cash to fans via Venmo, much like the aforementioned Cash App promotion.
Chase also announced a three-year deal with the Warriors Gaming Squad, the NBA 2K League team of the NBA's Golden State Warriors. Chase branding will be integrated into the team's digital home court, plus they will co-create video content. The companies have an existing relationship, as the Golden State Warriors will play in San Francisco's newly-built Chase Center later this year.
Quicken Loans' Rocket Mortgage brand has been announced as the first presenting sponsor of the LCS Summer Finals, which will take place at the Little Caesars Arena in Detroit on August 24-25. Rocket Mortgage is already a sponsor of 100 Thieves and the NBA 2K League's Cavs Legion GC .
Additionally, Invictus Gaming partnered with Shanghai Pudong Development (SPD) for a co-branded credit card in China, with cardholders set to receive an "IG 2018 League of Legends World Champion Victory" copper coin. Also, financial payment service China UnionPay was announced as a sponsor of the NetEase Esports X Tournament (NEXT).
Medical and Health Deals
Credit: Bucks Gaming
Q2 saw a pair of NBA 2K League teams partner with medical sponsors, leveraging the strength of the league's geolocated nature. Froedtert & Medical College of Wisconsin became a founding partner of Bucks Gaming, having already been a sponsor of the NBA's Milwaukee Bucks, while Northside Hospital was named the official sports medicine provider and sponsor of the Hawks Talon GC .
ESL agreed to a two-year deal with Techniker Krankenkasse (TK) to become the company's official health partner for several events, beginning with ESL One Hamburg . The companies will also collaborate on the TK University Open tournament, which will utilize the ESL Play platform.
Elsewhere, Complexity Gaming partnered with the Kobe Bryant-backed Mamba Sports Academy for a Mind Gym at its GameStop Performance Center headquarters. The Mind Gym, which features HyperX headsets, has six mental training stations designed to help improve player performance. The Pittsburgh Knights also agreed to a sponsorship deal with SmileDirectClub, which sells teeth-aligning and whitening products.
Credit: Riot Games/State Farm
Aside from those prominent sponsorship categories, there were many other notable non-endemic sponsorship deals during Q2 2019. Here are some of the other highlights from the quarter.
Cloud9 and Microsoft have partnered to co-develop tools and technologies using the cloud-based Azure platform, which will mine data from games to provide actionable insights for players. The Microsoft logo has been added to Cloud9's jerseys.
Ticketmaster has renewed its sponsorship of the NBA's Golden State Warriors, and expanded the deal to include the organization's Warriors Gaming Squad and Golden Guardians esports teams.
Privately-owned telecom Cox Communications became a sponsor of the Overwatch League's Atlanta Reign. Parent company Cox Enterprises is already a co-owner of the Reign .
Michelin-owned tire brand BFGoodrich sponsored the $100K DreamHack Dallas Pro Circuit Rocket League tournament—a first step into esports for the 149-year-old company.
Insurance company State Farm renewed and expanded its sponsorship of Riot Games' LCS, with global events added to the deal for the first time.
Complexity Gaming agreed to a partnership with the United States Army, with initial activations including a boot-camp event for Complexity players at an Army base and a visit from soldiers to the GameStop Performance Center for esports training and a tournament.
Agricultural and lawncare equipment brand John Deere announced that it will sponsor a team in the upcoming Farming Simulator League , which will kick off at this month's FarmCon 2019 event. Fellow farming equipment companies Lindner, Horsch, Bednar, and Krone have already announced team sponsorships for the league.
All told, it was a huge quarter for non-endemic partnerships, with an ever-more diverse array of brands partnering with teams, streamers and influencers, and leagues and events to reach the esports audience. Can Q3 maintain this kind of momentum even further into 2019? Stay tuned to The Esports Observer to find out.

CRAIG COBB
Published by OPP HQ on October 13, 2015
NAME: Craig Paul Cobb
HOME BASE: New: Sherwood, ND
Old: Old: Craig Cobb RR 2, Box 103 Marlinton, West Virginia 24954 Telephone: 304-799-2223 and Leith, ND
DOB: October 9, 1951
We like the fact that Aryan Nations founder Dick Butler and National Alliance founder William Pierce are dead and that Creativity Movement leader Matt Hale is out of commission, languishing in federal prison for the next 40 years. These were WPs who at the very least had some sort of academic integrity, even if their moral integrity was in the crapper. Now that they are gone, however, WPs needed something to fill the void, and that has been a little hard to do. No, strike that – VERY hard to do! We didn't know how much we could appreciate Butler, Pierce and Hale out of the picture until we witnessed what misfits were taking the top spots over the past year. None of them, unlike Pierce and Butler, were even around during the days of segregation, all of them are so incredibly screwed in the head that even other WPs do their best to stay away from them, and none of them are expected to last long. Now if the current leaders are second, third – no that's being too generous – 400th rate, then you can imagine how laughable the also-rans have to be.
That brings us to Craig Cobb, a net Nazi who is the guy who got a lot of notoriety with his attempt to turn the small town of Leith, North Dakota into a whites-only community. In 2012 he moved to the small town with a population of 19 – all but one of them white – after he purchased properties there. Within a few months his intentions spread like wildfire in the media, which meant that people in town and in the surrounding areas began working to oppose his efforts while other white supremacists began making plans to relocate there. Regardless of his efforts, the idea of a white enclave is still a pipe dream. Even neo-Nazi veteran Tom Metzger, who is among those that Cobb sold properties to, is not all that optimistic and will not move to Leith. "I wouldn't go into a town pushing my weight around," he said.
Cobb should have learned that by now. He's good for trying to screw with people and more often than not they screw with him back. It's pretty much the story with this guy. Originally from Hawaii, he moved to Marlinton, West Virginia sometime in 2003 (we know at one time he was driving a gray Mercedes with Hawaii tags). Even though he is was involved heavily with the WCOTC, he wanted to be close to the National Alliance as well, and Marlton is just north of Hillsboro, where the National Alliance is based. He was close with Rich Lindstrom who bolted National Alliance to help form National Vanguard, but we don't know at this time if they are still tight. He did leave West Virginia for Missouri for a spell, but apparently he went back to Marlton. We know he owned a small grocery store in 2003, and in October, 2004 a business was registered in his name in Marlton called Gray's Store, Aryan Autographs and 14 Words, L.L.C. According to some information found around the internet, he made neo-Nazi literature available in his store, and in 2004 he was one of those few morons that distributed Panzerfaust's Project Schoolyard CD, which was an attempt by that neo-Nazi record label to recruit schoolkids through music. Of course that all stopped after Panzerfaust fell apart the white power record label's owner Anthony Pierpont was busted on drug charges then busted again with the confirmation that he was actually Mexican.
Cobb did other kinds of local activism, including leafleting at local public events advocating the boycott of a local school Christmas production. All of this made him no more than a local oddity than anything else. In fact, "oddity" is the best way to describe him. Completely obsessed with being online, when once attending a Klan rally in Arkansas, He was more concerned with taking pictures and recording things for his website than anything. In fact, he reportedly barricaded himself in the computer room of two members of the now defunct hate group White Revolution for something like two days, drinking coffee grounds mixed with water and claiming he was uploading videos. Other oddities are the facts that he is known to carry around genuine silver coins in case the banks crash because he says that if that happens the coins will be real money, how he slaps himself for excersise and how he won't wear socks and he's paranoid that his feet stink. Why we have that bit of info we don't know, but we ask for any and all information on these guys to give back to the public, so screw it.
And yes, as is often the case, he has his problems with others in the WP scene. He used to post regularly on Stormfront under the name "No 1965 Chain Immigrants" until he was banned for some reason (he's back there under his real name). And it is curious that his nickname is "Krusty" Yes, as in Krusty the Clown from the Simpsons. His comrades nicknamed him that because to be honest, he looks like him, but the fact that Krusty is Jewish – and a clown – is not lost on us.
Apparently Cobb also had problems with the feds. He has been under investigation by federal law-enforcement for quite sometime because when Judge Joan Lefkow ruled against Matt Hale in the trademark case with the Oregon-based TE-TA-MA Truth Foundation, Cobb, concluding that the Judge was either Jewish or married to someone Jewish, decided to post her personal information on message boards throughout cyberspace. Later Hale was convicted for soliciting Lefkow's murder and is currently serving forty years in a maximum security prison, something Cobb didn't take too well. According to Nicole Nichols, when Joan Lefkow's mother and husband were both killed in their Chicago home, Cobb continued to provide the racist right with information and "suggestions." Not long after someone, shot and killed Lefkow's mother and husband in their home. Although it was believed that white supremacists had something to do with the case, it was learned that the shooter was unrelated to the events surrounding Hale or Cobb. We are curious however to see if the TE-TA-MA Truth Foundation had or will have words with Cobb. They are currently trying to collect a $200,000 judgment against the Creativity Movement for infringing on their name "Church of the Creator". To do that, they need to find people who were members of the Creativity Movement at the time they were using their name. Cobb has been down with Matt Hale's so-called church for years.
In years past, his thing has been to go around rallies and other events with a video camera, mingle with people WPs don't like (people with lives, basically), and make stupid comments to them. He made a particular mark for himself at the Nov. 19, 2005 rally in Kingston, NY, according to Nichole Nicols of Citizens Against Hate who wrote this in her blog:
"With camera in hand at the Kingston rally he infiltrated the press section and proceeded to badger and intimidate a seventeen year old girl bringing her to tears. Claiming to be a reporter for Vanguard News Network, Cobb attempted to stir the bystanders into action. Obviously, not one of the mainstream media, he failed to adhere to any of the ethical standards of generally acceptable behaviors. But, what else is new."
He has been at other events too. He was at the National Socialist Movement (NSM) rally in Yorktown, VA screwing with cops, and he harassed people at the Rosa Parks viewing at the U.S. Capitol Building in Washington, DC. He won't bother with people who know him though, especially antifa. Let us just say that he is quite aware of the zero-tolerance policy they have with his nonsense, not to mention their strict enforcement guidelines.__
2005 was also when Cobb received an inheritance of $85,000, and he took that money to Tallinn, Estonia, where he set up shop, establishing the now-defunct video aggregator Podblanc, which was supposed to be a neo-Nazi response to You Tube. This was where he first tried to set up a whites only homeland (he even called it "Whiteland"), purchasing land thirty miles south of the capital where he hoped to establish an "International Office of White Diaspora". In 2007 he was issued a temporary living permit and an ID card, but was reportedly denied entry into Estonia in 2007 as an "extremist" who provokes "racism and national hatred". Two years later, he became the first U.S. citizen to be deported from the country, earning a ten-year ban for "endangering state security, public order, public safety, moral standards, health, other public interests" and promoting racism. It took a physical altercation with a neighbor for that to happen though.
He did not return to the US, however. Apparently he had dual citizenship with both the United States and Canada, and he chose to be deported to Canada. He took a job in Vancover, but it wasn't long before the local antifa came a'callin'. See, the job he took was as a telemarketer, and the concern was that he had database access to personal information through that job. The company eventually canned his ass, but there were mounting problems for him, because he was still operating Podblanc, and in Canada promoting white power BS can get you thrown in jail. In June 2010, he was arrested at the Vancouver Public Library when a six-month investigation by the British Columbia Hate Crime Team revealed that he allegedly was operating the website from various locations within Vancouver. He was released after ten hours, and it is believed immediately after, he fled for the U.S. A warrant has been out for him ever since, and Podblanc hasn't been back online. Upon news that he was fleeing the law, a Spokane resident named Kevin Harpham under the screen name "Joe Snuffy" posted an invitation to Cobb on the Vanguard News Network discussion board to hide out at his place. "Craig, if you read this and you need a place to stay for the winter I have an empty basement with a couple rooms, a bed and bathroom you can live in till spring," Harpham posted. "I live in Washington not too far from Kalispell."
Kalispell, Montana, which was where white supremacist April Gaede moved to in an attempt to create her own base for whites only, was where Cobb, who wrote that there was little chance that he would take Harpham up on his offer, ended up going. Good thing too because Harpham's invite became null and void after the National Alliance member was busted a few days later for trying to bomb the Martin Luther King, Jr. Day Parade route in Spokane. While in Kalispell, Cobb got himself into some silly feud with Aryan Nations member Karl Gharst, to the point that he signed out a restraining order against him. In 2011, he moved again to Wyoming, and then to Leith where he became national news.
As noted before, Cobb didn't stand much of a chance in seeing his vision come to reality. The efforts by the town of Leith to oppose him (among the possibilites being dissolving the town and giving the county control) as well as the whole country keeping an eye on Cobb pretty much ensured that. The other thing that ensures this is Cobb himself. He's not the sharpest tack in the box and hardly someone that can maintain himself, let alone a community. At the time of this posting, he might be getting his comuppance, as he and one of his "settlers" were arrested for terrorizing residents with guns. This entry needs to be updated a bit to explain what the outcome was, but at the time of this posting he had been out for two years, took up residence in Sherwood, ND and is now looking at another town in North Dakota to screw with.

Writing a farm business plan can be a tool for you to plan your farming business. Sometimes it's also a requirement of securing grants and loans for your farm business. The process of writing a farm business plan may seem overwhelming and intimidating at first, but if you break it down into its component steps, it becomes much more manageable.

COSTA MESA — The people came early and flooded the space between both dugouts at Wendell Pickens Field. They spread all the way down both foul lines.
Just before the first pitch, Tony Altobelli asked them for one thing.
"For the next couple of hours, smile," he said.
For the last couple of days, no one had.
The Orange Coast College Pirates wore orange T-shirts for pregame work, all with No. 14. When folks walked into the ballpark they saw flowers and uniforms and an achingly simple girls basketball.
Above that shrine were two uniforms, one with the slogan NEGU, which stands for Never Ever Give Up, and another with Alto. No explanation necessary.
John Altobelli had coached Orange Coast for 27 years. Six months ago he won his fourth state championship, in Fresno. At that Final Four banquet he singled out and commiserated with the El Camino College team that had lost infielder Sladen Mohl, hit and killed by a drunk driver.
On Sunday Altobelli and his wife Keri and his daughter Alyssa were on the helicopter. Alyssa and Gigi Bryant played for the Mambas. Several teammates wore their Mamba jerseys to the ballpark Tuesday.
"This was John's favorite day," said Nate Johnson, the assistant coach who has taken over. "Opening Day. He used to get here super early. I beat him to the ballpark today, but that will be the only time that I ever do."
The opponent was Southwestern of Chula Vista. The memorials were vivid and sad, but the real monument was the ballpark itself. The turf, the dugouts, the coaches' office, the press box, even the landscaping behind center field are top-shelf. Johnson called it "the house that Alto built," through years of nonstop fundraising.
What Altobelli really built was rare and sustainable.
Brandon Brennan pitched 44 games for the Seattle Mariners last season. Without Altobelli, he said, he's not sure he would have.
"I'd been in a situation (at Oregon) where they didn't think I was good enough," Brennan said. "I came to Orange Coast and they embraced me immediately.
"Alto made the game fun for all of us. One Halloween, he came out in a Captain Morgan uniform. He had something different for everyone, something he'd joke about. You knew he cared. He wanted to get you to the next level."
Of the 19 Pirates who became major leaguers, Altobelli coached 14. He was just as proud of the year when all 16 sophomores went to play in a higher place.
"On this level, everyone who comes has baggage," said Don Sneddon, the Santa Ana College coach for 32 years. "And every year is a rebuilding year.
"But you can feel like you're making a difference. And unlike a lot of the four-year college coaches, you can sleep in your bed nearly every night."
That resonated with Altobelli.
"Keri was at every game," Brennan said. "She'd give us a hug and ask us how we were doing."
"She'd be sitting there judging me right now," Johnson told the crowd, as the first laughs since early Sunday morning surrounded him. "I'd make some smart crack and she'd say, 'You know, I've got more power to fire you than Alto.'"
And then there's Tony, John's brother, the sports information director, the emcee at this ceremony, the guy who told Athletic Director Jason Kehler that, no, he wanted to work his way through this.
His reward was an unprecedented blizzard of demands, disguised as requests, from the TV people with their trucks, and from the reporters who have driven past the Fairview exit hundreds of times without knowing how close they were to champions.
"He's been incredibly professional," Kehler said. Sometimes the call of duty is unconditional. It's why the Pirates wanted to play Tuesday.
Sneddon and Scott Pickler, who won 881 games at Cypress College, said the same things as Brent Mayne, whose dad Mike won 400 games in 15 years as Altobelli's predecessor.
"It's tough to find players now because fewer guys fall through the cracks," Mayne said. "But John really had it on auto-pilot, the last few years. He almost didn't need to recruit."

"His teams were so prepared, so competitive," Pickler said. "After every game, he wanted to go out and have a beer, put everything behind him. He could go after an umpire pretty hard. He'd say that was just the Italian in him coming out."
Tony said an umpire, whom he didn't identify, came over to embrace him and then shed tears.
"I imagine John was up there laughing," Tony said. "He actually made an umpire cry."
Tony wrapped it up with, "We got this." With John looking down and with his house bright and clean, of course they do.

Eucharistic Letter Revisited
Weekly input and comments
Upper Room Home of Prayer
Our 'Yes' to the inner call...
"The Upper Room" is a Home of Prayer sponsored by the Sisters of St. Joseph (Peterborough, Canada). Two Sisters of St. Joseph, Evelyn McGovern and Rosemary O'Toole, have been co-directors since 1984. The spirituality of Jean-Pierre Medaille has been central to all our programs and minsitry throughout the 30 + years.
We use for our prayer and study The Writings of Jean-Pierre Medaille, S.J. published by the Sisters of St. Joseph of Toronto, Ontario (1985).
in 2016, Arlette Hermans, Renfrew, ON prepared a newer translation of The Eucharistic Letter that we will now be usng throughout this website.
After Vatican II, the Sisters of St. Joseph all around the world started reading and studying these sacred texts afresh in their own language. It wasn't long before we started sharing them with our associates and companions in ministry. Besides the Maxims of Perfection, it was The Eucharistic Letter that most captured something of an 'aha' within the men and women who gathered around us and shared in our spiritual direction ministry.
Some of us became enkindled with the desire to live more in the spirit and manner of a Little Design Community. Yes, in our own homes and neighbourhoods, we sensed the Spirit was drawing us into this contemplative way of being and living the Gospel.
Some of us Little Designers gathered for an evening meal at Montery Inn to celebrate the 400th Anniversary of Father Medaille's birth, October 6th.
Allowing the Mystery ...
We have come to see and understand 'the original inspiration' and intent of The Eucharistic Letter as written by Father Medaille. It would seem that it was intended for a larger number of groupings or associations as well as for the sisters.
Upon deeper reflection, it is an embodiment of the universal inclusiveness of Love. In its pristine essence it is envisioned as 'a congregation without a congregation', 'a body without a body' and 'a religious order without being a religious order.' Since Father Medaille worked in his ministry with helping devout persons advance in holiness of life both in religious life and outside of religious life, it seems essential for us today - in our forward movement - to grasp this expansiveness and let The Eucharistic Letter be revisited in its most original spirit, vision and intent.
Have you ever wondered why Marguerite Burdier never shared this Eucharistic Letter with her sisters? Why did it seemingly remain 'hidden' to us for so many years? Did she possibly think that it would be a 'distraction' to the intent and purpose and mission of the more structured apostolic way of life that was taking off in those early communities? Did she pick up the very clear differences and distinctions that The Eucharistic Letter speaks of? There is no superior, no hierarchical ordering, no canonical vows, no motherhouse, no common Rule, and no mention of St. Joseph in The Eucharistic Letter.
Could this all be in the plan of God, in the Divine Design, that this text would be prophetic and meant to be realized in some future time? Yes, long decades after a flourishing religious life of the Sisters of St. Joseph all across the continents of the Earth, we are revisiting this original document with new eyes and new hearts. Is this the time for the 'something new' to be born beside or within the 'something old' that we have known and carefully nurtured for some 360 years? What is the Pentecostal fire burning in your heart as you read, ponder and share hearts?
The Sisters of St. Joseph have carefully treasured this Eucharistic Letter as part of our rich heritage. God must have wanted us – some of us - to be used now as 'instruments' in its rebirth in this Millennium… because here we are… in this now moment, eager to share "the lavish grace" with as many great lovers of God as possible. In this larger Christ-consciousness, we can see how everything belongs in a Oneness paradigm.
We have been greatly encouraged in this rebirthing of more Little Design Communities by the writings and speeches of Sr. Marguerite Vacher and the Jesuit researcher, Fr. Adrien Demoustier. Both have spent considerable time and reflection on the TEXT and INTENT of The Eucharistic Letter. They would seem to believe that this 'divine revelation' of The Eucharistic Letter is a pure gift breathing new life into this Millennium. The coming to birth then of these new emerging communities can be fostered and nurtured by our Medaillan spirituality of "May we all be one."
We claim that this is our "perhaps in time" moment! We get some sense that there may be a few other Sisters of St. Joseph along with many spiritually mature women and men scattered around the globe, who have been feeling a call, a strong Spirit-nudge, to explore "the Little Design" way of life with other spiritual seekers in their respective neighborhoods. These 'animators' will help bring to birth as many small pockets of Little Design Communities as the Spirit might wish to establish … yes "throughout the whole church." (E.L.)
The story of our Ottawa Little Design communities
We have come to see that The Eucharistic Letter, written by Jean-Pierre Medaille S.J., several centuries ago (1660) is a prophetic document with profound implications for spirituality today. When we discovered it anew some 20 years ago now, many of us had a deep spiritual experience.
The language of the mystical resonated with our own emerging contemplative lifestyles and we came to realize that we had found a treasure, a pearl, hidden in our own congregational heritage and we were standing on holy ground. Here was a way of life and a way of love that spoke to an open system that we, as a People of God, had evolved into and we began to share connections with The Letter's deep spirituality.
Finding this "Little Design" was integral to the search and our call just moved us to start walking in this way. Now, after 15 years of living it, and being enriched by its wisdom and simplicity, we wish to share it with others around the world.
Our First Gatherings
In September 1997, eighteen women started gathering every six weeks in the large living room at The Upper Room Home of Prayer, 58 Primrose Avenue, in Ottawa, Canada.
These women had spoken individually to Sr. Rosemary O'Toole, in spiritual direction about wanting to meet and share with other spiritual seekers who were also living a more contemplative lifestyle in their own homes and with their families. We discovered that we were all looking for a kind of community that could support and enhance our spiritual lives.
We needed no vows, motherhouse, habit or distinguishing dress; no Rule book or exterior formal ministries to define us. Yes, we grasped how "little and hidden and invisible" were 'right on' for describing our experience of community. Just "love LOVE and let LOVE love through you" became our mission.
We resonated with the ORIGINAL VISON and MISSION!
In the early days of our gathering, we started reading slowly and reflectively, The Eucharistic Letter. We prayed with it, studied it, and conversed together about what we understood of its vision and meaning for us today. We had several 'Charism Alive' nine-day retreats, weekend retreats with lay men and women and a few Sisters of St. Joseph participating. There were many cups of tea over conversations and meanderings into
"What could all of this be saying to us?"
Over the years, Little Design has just become 'the sacred space' that holds for us a soul resonance with our own deep contemplative journeys. In the early days we gathered on Saturday afternoons in a large group of 15-18 women, to study and translate into contemporary context The Eucharistic Letter's rich meaning for us today. We drew upon several contemporary spiritual authors and felt the resonance once again.
We always shared hearts with such ease and trust. Soon the telling of our stories was blessed time of 'communion' with each other. We listened deeply to each other and held in silent trust these sacred journeys. We witnessed some wonderful transforming miracles of grace.
Sharing the State of the Heart
As we moved along through the years, we weaved coloured threads on our Life Loom. The 9 different coloured yarns stand for different states of the heart!
Humble beginnings ... from our first gathering of Sept. 1997...
This LIFE LOOM homestitched weaving has become a tangible sign of our growing and evolving and interacting communal life. We came to know and celebrate with gratitude that the Spirit of God was creating us into a community of "The Little Design."
Our weaving is still a work in progress...
Over the past 15 years, we have grown larger in numbers and yet, as we did, we formed ourselves into 11 smaller communities with 4-6 persons in each small Little Design community. We regularly have sessions for Newcomers and keep widening the 'tent pegs' … welcoming those spiritual seekers looking for a spiritual community.
On Pentecost 2012, we gave thanks and praise to God for our 50 core members! (42 women - two of us are sisters- and 4 married couples)
We share a common vision and mission.
We strive to live ever more consciously in 'the little way' traced out for us in The Eucharistic Letter.
All the small groups meet regularly in each other's homes or apartments and the bonding is deepening as we share hearts and encourage one another in becoming 'great lovers of God.'
Welcoming Newcomers
In the fall of 2012, we will begin another Newcomers group. A few core members assist with the monthly meetings either here at The Upper Room or in the homes of the Newcomers' own small chosen group. The first year is an interactive exploration through The Eucharistic Letter with this NEW commentary. The 8 Gatherings are also included in this binder. We always have a rather lengthy period for sharing of hearts and enjoying companionship with simple refreshments.

Biotech Brief: FDA Fast Tracking Innovative Breakthrough Therapies For Cancer Patients
Palm Beach, FL – April 18, 2019 – A recent headline from a report released by Friends of Cancer Research, made the following eye-opening statement: "ONE OF THE BIGGEST TREATMENT BREAKTHROUGHS IN THE PAST FIVE YEARS WASN'T A DRUG, BUT A LAW." The article was looking at the effects of the "Advancing Breakthrough Therapies for Patients Act" a law that enables the FDA to work closely with the drug developer/sponsor and puts the treatment on a much faster track. The article continued: "A new drug may be designated as a breakthrough therapy by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) if it is intended to treat a serious or life-threatening disease and preliminary clinical evidence suggests it provides a substantial improvement over existing therapies. Once the breakthrough therapy designation is requested by the drug sponsor, the FDA and sponsor work together to determine the most efficient path forward. As of March 27, 2019 the FDA has approved 132 breakthrough therapy designated products and… that there have been 766 total requests for the designation with 292 designations granted." Active biotech and pharma companies in the markets this week include Moleculin Biotech, Inc. (NASDAQ:MBRX), T Bio-Path Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: BPTH), Pfizer Inc. (NYSE: PFE), Wave Life Sciences Ltd. (NASDAQ: WVE), Zosano Pharma Corporation (NASDAQ: ZSAN).
The article continued: "As knowledge about complex diseases such as cancer… has expanded, researchers have been able to develop increasingly precise methods of treatment. Targeted therapies, a variety of drugs that target specific molecular pathways, allow physicians and researchers to identify patients highly likely to respond to treatment. Frequently, these new drugs show major clinical activity and significant improvement over currently available treatment early in their development. In cases where new drugs show so much promise, and particularly in cases where existing treatment options are limited, the traditional multi-phase, sequential drug development process may not be appropriate… A new drug may be designated as a breakthrough therapy if it is intended to treat a serious or life-threatening disease and preliminary clinical evidence suggests it provides a substantial improvement over existing therapies."
Moleculin Biotech, Inc. (NASDAQ:MBRX) BREAKING NEWS: Moleculin Biotech, a clinical stage pharmaceutical company with a broad portfolio of drug candidates targeting highly resistant tumors, today announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") has approved its request for Fast Track Designation for its drug, Annamycin, for the treatment of relapsed or refractory acute myeloid leukemia ("AML").
"We are thrilled that Annamycin has been granted Fast Track Designation," commented Walter Klemp, Moleculin's Chairman and CEO. "Not only does this make us eligible for accelerated approval and priority review, but it serves as an important validation of the significant unmet need we are trying to address. Currently, Annamycin is in separate Phase I/II trials in the U.S. and Europe for the treatment of AML and the Company has recently announced positive interim top line data."
A drug that receives Fast Track designation is eligible for some or all of the following:
More frequent meetings with FDA to discuss the drug's development plan and ensure collection of appropriate data needed to support drug approval
More frequent written communication from FDA about such things as the design of the proposed clinical trials and use of biomarkers
Eligibility for Accelerated Approval and Priority Review, if relevant criteria are met
Rolling Review, which means that a drug company can submit completed sections of its Biologic License Application (BLA) or New Drug Application (NDA) for review by FDA, rather than waiting until every section of the NDA is completed before the entire application can be reviewed. BLA or NDA review usually does not begin until the drug company has submitted the entire application to the FDA

Bio-Path Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: BPTH) a biotechnology company leveraging its proprietary DNAbilize® antisense RNAi nanoparticle technology to develop a portfolio of targeted nucleic acid cancer drugs, recently announced that data from pre-clinical studies supporting the potential of BP1003, a novel liposome-incorporated STAT3 oligodeoxynucleotide inhibitor, for the treatment of pancreatic cancer, non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) were presented in a poster at the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) Annual Meeting 2019 in Atlanta, GA.
The poster, entitled "BP1003, a Novel Liposome-Incorporated STAT3 Antisense Oligodeoxynucleotide Inhibitor," was presented by Ana Tari Ashizawa, Ph.D., Vice President of Research and Development at Bio-Path.
Pfizer Inc. (NYSE: PFE) recently announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved a supplemental New Drug Application (sNDA) to expand the indications for IBRANCE®(palbociclib) in combination with an aromatase inhibitor or fulvestrant to include men with hormone receptor-positive (HR+), human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-negative (HER2-) advanced or metastatic breast cancer. The approval is based on data from electronic health records and postmarketing reports of the real-world use of IBRANCE in male patients sourced from three databases: IQVIA Insurance database, Flatiron Health Breast Cancer database and the Pfizer global safety database.
Wave Life Sciences Ltd. (NASDAQ: WVE) a clinical-stage genetic medicines company committed to delivering life-changing treatments for people battling devastating diseases, recently announced the final results from its Phase 1 clinical trial of investigational suvodirsen (WVE-210201) in boys with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) who are amenable to exon 51 skipping. The company also announced the design of its planned Phase 2/3 clinical trial of suvodirsen in DMD, DYSTANCE 51. The Phase 1 data and DYSTANCE 51 details will be presented today at the 2019 Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA) Clinical and Scientific Conference in Orlando, Florida.
"We are delighted that suvodirsen's Phase 1 results demonstrate a favorable safety and tolerability profile that allow us to proceed rapidly into Phase 2/3 clinical development with doses we expect to be within the therapeutic window. Later this year, we expect to report interim efficacy data from the ongoing open-label extension study of suvodirsen and intend to use those data as an important component of a submission for accelerated approval in the United States," said Michael Panzara, MD, MPH, Chief Medical Officer of Wave Life Sciences. "We truly appreciate the boys and families that made this trial possible."
Zosano Pharma Corporation (NASDAQ: ZSAN), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company, recently announced the peer-reviewed publication of a review and analysis of recently-completed trials using newly FDA-recommended endpoints in the acute treatment of migraine. The review article, led by Stanford Assistant Professor of Neurology, Nada Hindiyeh, MD., was published in Headache, titled "Review of Acute Treatment of Migraine Trial Results With the New FDA Endpoints: Design Implications for Future Trials."
In this analysis, researchers reviewed eight published trials designed in accordance with the Guidance for Industry, "Migraine: Developing Drugs for Acute Treatment", finalized in February 2018, that recommended using co-primary endpoints of pain freedom and freedom from most bothersome symptom (MBS) at 2-hours post-treatment. Using the placebo response rates from these various trials, the authors were able to calculate required sample sizes for future trials and compare these calculations to the sample sizes actually used in completed trials. Included in this analysis was Zosano's ZOTRIP trial, in which 41.5% of subjects in the QTRYPTA 3.8mg arm achieved pain freedom at two hours and 68.3% achieved freedom from their MBS at two hours, as compared to 14.3% and 42.9% respectively in the placebo group.

Everything Is a Game About the Theatrical Artifice of All Games
By Cameron Kunzelman | April 20, 2017 | 11:43am
Games Features Everything
When a game is called Everything, you come into it with a bit of skepticism. After all, we all have some idea of how videogames and computation work. You create a system out of blips and blops, and within that system there are representations of a finite amount of things. Minecraft has a certain amount of stuff, and The Witcher III has quite a bit more of it. Skyrim probably has even more stuff. Everything delves deep into micro-objects like DNA and far into macro-objects like galaxies to create a game that has, and please pardon my French, an absolute shitload of stuff, from cars to wolves to bacteria to planets.
Everything is doing something other than those other blockbuster titles, but it feels like it is in conversation with all of those other wild and wacky open world games. When Ghost Recon Wildlands pushes its "responsive open world," it is banking on you being impressed by the narrative and environmental worldbuilding. It wants you to recognize the scale of the game, and to think that you are just one more small cog in a massive subcreated clock that is ticking all the while. You're meant to understand yourself as part of a world that you play in, but which is not necessarily only for the player.
Everyhing has all of the same things in that kind of open world, but you might wonder what you're doing with it if you're not shooting it or stacking it up to get a high score. In a move similar to those other games, you're merely possessing it. The play of Everything isn't very complicated. You get near things, you take control of them, and then you sing. If you're a small rock, for example, you can roll around the world. You can click a button to put out some world rhythms, and it might make other things around you react. Hold down another button, roll around into some compatriot rocks, and then you can become a pack of small rocks. You all run around together. You can all sing.
This kind of possession, which is all about being the thing that you have taken over, is diametrically opposed to the normal way that we experience possession in games. In your other massive games, the games of witchers and dragonborn, you end up possessing the world in a different way. You cram it into your inventory. You buy deeds to locations. You convince people and animals to follow you. You eat bread and biscuits and sausages, slay dragons and dogs, and render the world completely in thrall to the amazing powers that you wield.
It's hard to interact with Everything without thinking of creator David OReilly's previous game Mountain. Back in 2014, I reviewed the game here at Paste, and that review ended up being ambivalent about what that game did. It was an object, I argued, that demanded a certain amount of endurance. One had to sit with that damn thing and wait for it to do something, and sometimes it did. It was a game that abstracted interaction itself because it asked you to just sit the hell down and wait for a minute. You couldn't ride your horse toward the next objective. You couldn't make time move any faster. You couldn't drink a potion to have a social connection with that goofy mound.
Everything is doing similar work around the idea of interaction. It asks very open questions: What is the nature of a world? What does it mean to be part of a world? Is everything in concert with everything else? To drive this point home, the game has lots of excerpts from the 20th century philosopher Alan Watts peppered throughout the environments you can possess things in. He says typical Wattsian stuff, mostly adapted ideas from Asian philosophy with all the edges and serial numbers filed off. He says things like "a people peoples." I'm not joking. The verb nouns.
Despite my reservations about the philosopher used to give the game some kind of evocative legitimacy, I do think that Everything wants us to be thinking as intently about how we are interacting with it as Mountain was. From its foundation, the way that the player can control, group, sing with, and delve into all of the things in the game puts it into stark contrast with the organization of the universe present in nearly every other videogame that you can play on a contemporary console.
For me, Everything is less a game about an idea than it is a game that argues against every other game. It's a game about the theatrical artifice of all games. Todd Howard tells us that the world of Tamriel is real, and that we can go to those mountains, but we all know that they do not exist on their own. They are not objects that exist for themselves; they exist only for us, for the players who are going to go stomp around on them. Unlike the world outside a game, which does not need humans to keep on keeping on, a game world is only a pretense for giving a game player something to do.
World bibles, character interactions, and environmental simulations all tell us that a game extends forever. When we learn the hundred-years history of Destiny, we're supposed to take all of that in. These guns aren't necessarily for us, and this helmet has a long history of being passed from warrior to moon wizard down through time. Every Assassin's Creed product is this fleshy, extensive thing that spills out from itself, from movie to game to YA novel to comic book, and each of those is meant to ground us, as consumers, down into this world even further. We're supposed to be immersed not because some wonderful developers created an experience for us. Instead, we're meant to feel awe at the scope of creation. Like looking at the Grand Canyon, we're supposed to be enthralled by the scale. We're supposed to think about how this wide work could swallow us up.
Everything flattens it all out. It delivers what all the other games pretend to. If you see a mountain, you can go there. You can be a boulder on it, and if you get bored you can be a tree, or a worm, or a dog who moves around between these objects. Everything lets us possess the world, but not in the way that tricks us into thinking that we're a cog in this grand machine. It's literal. Any moment is the same as anything else, and whether you're a car or planet, you can merely exist. This world is the world that most videogames claim to be, and in getting to play what we are always promised, we might realize that being yet another object in a universe of anonymous objects might be pretty boring.

Johanna Catharina "Tineke" Huizinga-Heringa (born 16 February 1960) is a Dutch politician of the Christian Union (CU) party.

Huizinga grew up in Amersfoort; both of her parents were teachers. After attending gymnasium, she began to study law at the University of Utrecht. She became involved in the Christian student's association Ichtus, where she met her future husband. They married in 1982. After passing her candidate exams (roughly equivalent of a bachelor's degree), she stopped her studies and moved to Heerenveen. She became a housewife and mother of three children.

She volunteered as translator at a Christian foundation, Open Doors, which advocates the interest of persecuted Christians worldwide. She became involved in the cases of asylum seekers and refugees and worked as a volunteer for VluchtenlingenWerk Nederland. Because of her involvement with social and religious issues, the Reformatory Political Federation asked her to become their top candidate in Heerenveen for the 1998 municipal elections. She was elected into the Heerenveen municipal council.

In 2002 she was elected member of House of Representatives. She was elected on basis of preference votes. The ChristianUnion only got four seats and she was seventh candidate, but because so many voters voted for her she entered parliament at the cost of prominent GPV leader Eimert van Middelkoop. She was member of the parliamentary research committee into the Srebrenica massacre. In the 2003 elections she was re-elected, again with preference votes, now at the cost of Leen van Dijke. She was fourth candidate and the ChristianUnion only got three seats. In parliament she had been occupied with foreign affairs, international development, migration, integration, spatial planning and the environment. She was secretary of the parliamentary party.

As Secretary of State for Transport, Public Works and Water Management, Huizinga survived a motion of no confidence in April 2008 over the (supposedly failed) introduction of a MIFARE-based nationwide public transport payment system.
