Home Happening Now BREAKING: Pelosi Vows Dems Will Bring "Ironclad Case" to Impeach Trump
BREAKING: Pelosi Vows Dems Will Bring "Ironclad Case" to Impeach Trump
CK Heltzel
Speaking to Democrats in California on Saturday, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi continued to publicly imply support for impeaching President Trump, while refusing to outright demand the proceedings against him.
Pelosi has been placed in an increasingly difficult situation as far-left Congressional Democrats continue crying out for hearings to impeach Trump, and has struggled to appear both in favor of impeachment while simultaneously restrained.
When the liberal audience shouted for impeachment, Pelosi replied, "We will go where the facts lead us, we will insist on the truth."
"We will build an ironclad case to act, said Pelosi, adding, "President Trump will be held accountable for his actions."
Despite having been cleared of collusion and obstruction allegations at the end of the lengthy Mueller probe, Trump has faced increasing calls for his removal from House Democrats, who remain focused on nothing but his impeachment.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi told California Democrats that Congress would continue aggressive investigations into President Trump and the Trump administration, stopping short of calling for the beginning of an impeachment inquiry.
Addressing the California Democratic Party's annual convention in her home district, Pelosi cited former special counsel Robert Mueller's report into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election.
"In his report, special counsel Mueller warned us in the starkest terms that there was an attack on our election and an attack on our democracy," Pelosi said. "Why won't the president defend us from this attack?"
"What is the president covering up?" she asked. "We must investigate the president's welcoming of the assault on our democracy.
A single protester shouting "Impeach!" soon became a few, then a few dozen and then perhaps a hundred as Pelosi seemed to hint at a future inquiry.
"This isn't about politics, it isn't about partisanship, Democrats versus Republicans, no. It's about patriotism, it's about the sanctity of the constitution and it's about the future of our nation. We will go where the facts lead us. We will insist on the truth. We will build an ironclad case to act," Pelosi said.
"President Trump will be held accountable for his actions. In the Congress, in the courts, and in
the court of public opinion, we will defend our democracy," she added.

Dr. Mercola: "Fully Vaccinated" Is Never Going To Happen - Control System Will Require Constant COVID Shots
Monday, November 29, 2021 18:44
Dr. Joseph Mercola recently spoke out about the lie that is "fully vaccinated." He warned that there will be a constant barrage of COVID shots in the "vaccinated" people's future.
Here's what he had to say.

If you suspected censorship was being coordinated on a global scale, you'd be right. The International Grand Committee on Disinformation1 (IGCD) consists of "an international array of legislators, policy advisers, and other experts" who work together "to forge international alliances that bring shared, effective strategies into the battle against online disinformation." What could possibly go wrong?
The idea behind the IGCD came from four members of the British and Canadian Parliaments: Damian Collins and Ian Lucas from the U.K., and Bob Zimmer and Nathaniel Erskine-Smith from Canada. The first session of the IGCD took place at the end of November 2018, so they've been quietly working in the background for some time already.
Since then, they've held meetings in Canada and the U.K. and hosted seminars in the U.S., attended by spiritual leaders, journalists, technology executives, "subject matter experts" and parliamentary leaders from 21 countries (Argentina, Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Estonia, Finland, France, Georgia, Germany, Ireland, Latvia, Mexico, Morocco, Singapore, St. Lucia, Sweden, the U.K. and the U.S.)
According to the IGCD, the organization functions as a "forum for information sharing, collaboration and harmonization of policies to … achieve common goals among democratic states. Never mind the fact that democracy cannot exist without freedom of speech."
Logistics for the group are provided by an initiative called "Reset,"2 which feels like a not-so-subtle reminder that censorship is a requirement for The Great Reset. They know people would never go along with the Great Reset plan if allowed to freely discuss the ramifications.
'Online Safety Bill' Seeks to Shut Down Counternarratives
The IGCD helps shed light on the technocracy front group known as the Centers for Countering Digital Hate (CCDH),3 seeing how one of the CCDH's board members, Damian Collins MP, is also one of the founders of the IGCD. Both groups were formed in 2018 and clearly have the same goals and agenda.
One of those goals is to eliminate free speech online, which is what the U.K.'s proposed "Online Safety Bill" would achieve. Not surprisingly, Collins is part of the Online Safety Bill Committee, charged with examining the Bill "line by line to make sure it is fit for purpose."4
In an August 11, 2021, blog post, Collins asked for the public's help to track down counternarratives, taking screenshots of the offending material and emailing it to him. "Unless harmful content is reported, whether it is terrible images of self-harm, violent or extremist content or anti-vaccine conspiracy theories, it can otherwise be unknowable to regulators and governments," he said.
It's impossible to miss the fact that Collins is lumping "anti-vaccine" content in with violent and extremist content that must be censored and, in reality, that's probably one of the top categories of information this bill seeks to control.
As reported by iNews,5 "The Prime Minister [Boris Johnson] has repeatedly insisted the powers contained within the legislation would help crack down on … anti-vaccine disinformation."
Online Safety Bill Is 'Catastrophic for Free Speech'
While some might think it's a good idea to spoon feed people "correct" information about vaccines, it's important to realize that while vaccines are the issue of today, tomorrow another topic that is near and dear to your heart could be deemed out of bounds for public discussion. So, supporting censorship of any kind is a slippery slope that is bound to come back to bite you when you least expect it.
As reported by BBC News,6 the "Legal to Say. Legal to Type" campaign warns that if the Online Safety Bill becomes law, Big Tech firms will be in a position of extraordinary power:
"While the group supports the bill's aim of ensuring online platforms remove images of child sexual abuse, terrorist material and content which incites racial hatred and violence, it fears other provisions will adversely affect free speech …
Under the bill, Ofcom [the British Office of Communications] will be given the power to block access to sites and fine companies which do not protect users from harmful content up to £18m, or 10% of annual global turnover, whichever is the greater.
Campaigners claim this gives tech firms an incentive to 'over-censor,' and 'effectively outsources internet policing from the police, courts and Parliament to Silicon Valley' …
Mr. [MP David] Davis described the bill as a 'censor's charter.' He added: 'Lobby groups will be able to push social networks to take down content they view as not politically correct, even though the content is legal' …
Campaigners are also concerned that technology companies may use artificial intelligence to identify harmful content. That, they say, may introduce racial biases and will wrongly censor language, 'especially when it comes to irony-loving Brits.'"
US Democrats Attack Free Speech
Meanwhile, in the U.S., the Health Misinformation Act, introduced by Sen. Amy Klobuchar, D-Minn., and Sen. Ben Ray Luján, D-N.M., would suspend Communications Decency Act Section 230 protections in instances where social media networks are found to boost "anti-vaccine conspiracies," and hold them liable for such content. In a July 22, 2021, article, Tech Crunch reported:7
"The bill would specifically alter Section 230's language to revoke liability protections in the case of 'health misinformation that is created or developed through the interactive computer service' if that misinformation is amplified through an algorithm.
The proposed exception would only kick in during a declared national public health crisis, like the advent of COVID-19, and wouldn't apply in normal times. The bill would task the Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) with defining health misinformation."
As with the British Online Safety Bill, the Health Misinformation Act is an open portal for abuses. Ironically, the Act actually relies on misinformation to make its case. It specifically mentions the CCDH's "Disinformation Dozen" report,8 which falsely claims a dozen individuals, myself included, are responsible for a majority of the "anti-vax misinformation" being shared on social media platforms.

'Disinformation Dozen' Have Negligible Reach
Meanwhile, in an August 18, 2021, statement,9,10 Facebook's vice president of content policy, Monika Bickert, stated there's no evidence to support the CCDH's claims, and that the people named by the CCDH as being responsible for the vast majority of vaccine misinformation on social media were in fact only responsible for a tiny fraction — 0.05% — of all vaccine content on Facebook. Here's an excerpt from Bickert's statement:11
"In recent weeks, there has been a debate about whether the global problem of COVID-19 vaccine misinformation can be solved simply by removing 12 people from social media platforms. People who have advanced this narrative contend that these 12 people are responsible for 73% of online vaccine misinformation on Facebook. There isn't any evidence to support this claim …
In fact, these 12 people are responsible for about just 0.05% of all views of vaccine-related content on Facebook. This includes all vaccine-related posts they've shared, whether true or false, as well as URLs associated with these people.
The report12 upon which the faulty narrative is based analyzed only a narrow set of 483 pieces of content over six weeks from only 30 groups, some of which are as small as 2,500 users. They are in no way representative of the hundreds of millions of posts that people have shared about COVID-19 vaccines in the past months on Facebook.
Further, there is no explanation for how the organization behind the report identified the content they describe as 'anti-vax' or how they chose the 30 groups they included in their analysis. There is no justification for their claim that their data constitute a 'representative sample' of the content shared across our apps."
It's quite clear that the CCDH exists to fabricate "evidence" that is then used to destroy the opposition in order to control the information. As such, it's really nothing more than a front group for the much larger, global IGCD, which aims to shut down free speech across the world.
The 'Whistleblower' That Isn't
One of the dirty tricks used to shut down free speech is to employ fake whistleblowers. Frances Haugen, the former Facebook employee turned "whistleblower" who testified before Congress October 5, 2021, accusing her former employer of aiding evildoers, is not an actual whistleblower.
She is being legally represented by a firm called Whistleblower Aid, founded by a national security lawyer, Mark Zaid, who is known for betraying his clients and siding with prosecutors.13
Whistleblower Aid is funded by tech billionaire and eBay founder Pierre Omidyar, and the Reset Initiative, which provides logistics for the IGCD, is part of The Omidyar Group of philanthropies.14 That tells you everything you need to know about the intended purpose behind Haugen's testimony. As reported by The Gray Zone:15
"Haugen emphasized in her testimony that she 'doesn't want to break up' Facebook; she was merely looking for increased 'content moderation' to root out 'extremism' and '(mis/dis)information' … Haugen appears to be little more than a tool in a far-reaching plan to increase the U.S. national security state's control over one of the world's most popular social media platforms."
In short order, Haugen managed what has been impossible for other whistleblowers. She secured audiences with lawmakers in France, the U.K. and the European Union to discuss the need for more censorship.
Dark Money
Over the past year, the CCDH's fabricated "Disinformation Dozen" report has been repeatedly used as the foundation for calls to strip American citizens of their First Amendment free speech rights. It's been used by attorneys general and elected politicians, and it's been cited in all the Big Tech hearings.16
Aside from being directly tied to the global IGCD (remember, Collins is on the board of both the IGCD and the CCDH), the CCDH is also connected to Arabella Advisors — the most powerful dark money lobbying group in the U.S.17 — by way of CCDH chairman Simon Clark.18 ("Dark money" is a term that means the identities of those funding the organization are kept secret.)
Clark is a senior fellow with the Center for American Progress,19 where he specializes in "right-wing domestic terrorism" (are we to believe there's no such thing as left-wing terrorism?), which is funded by a liberal Swiss billionaire named Hansjörg Wyss.20,21
Wyss also funds Arabella Advisors, which runs a large number of temporary front groups that pop in and out of existence as needed for any given campaign.22 Reporter Hayden Ludwig has described the inner workings of Arabella Advisors and the influence of the "dark money" flowing through it:23
"Arabella's nonprofits act as the left's premier pass-through funders for professional activists. Big foundations — including the Gates, Buffett, and Ford Foundations — have laundered billions of dollars through this network, washing their identities from the dollars that go to push radical policies on America.
But the real juice from these nonprofits comes from the vast array of 'pop-up groups' they run — called so because they consist almost solely of slick websites that may pop into existence one day and pop out the next, usually once the campaign is through.
We've counted over 350 such front groups pushing everything from federal funding of abortion to overhauling Obamacare to packing the Supreme Court. Arabella is as dark as 'dark money' gets. It's also the prime example of liberal hypocrisy over anonymous political spending, operating in nearly total obscurity …
As more of this massive web of groups — responsible for churning out nearly $2.5 billion since its creation — has come into focus, one thing's become clear: When a special interest donor goes to Arabella, they're expecting a political payoff."
You can learn more about Arabella Advisors and its hidden influence over U.S. politics through pop-up front groups in the Capital Research Center series, "Arabella's Long War Against Trump's Department of the Interior."24

An Open War on the Public
We're now in a situation where asking valid questions about public health measures are equated to acts of domestic terrorism. It's unbelievable, yet here we are.
Over the past two years, the rhetoric used against those who question the sanity of using unscientific pandemic countermeasures, such as face masks and lockdowns, or share data showing that COVID-19 gene therapies are really bad public health policy, has become increasingly violent.
Dr. Peter Hotez has publicly called for cyberwarfare assaults on American citizens who disagree with official COVID narratives, and this vile rhetoric was published in the prestigious science journal Nature, of all places.25 His article should have set off alarm bells at the CCDH, were the CCDH actually about protecting us from online hate.
But the CCDH is not about protecting the public from hate. In classic Orwellian Doublespeak, it actually exists to foster and create it. Incidentally, the journal Nature also published an article by CCDH founder Imran Ahmed, in which he discusses the need to destroy the "anti-vaxx industry." How he, who has no medical credentials, managed to meet publication requirements is a mystery, and just goes to show we cannot even trust some of our most esteemed medical journals.
In the end, lies cannot stand up to the truth, which is precisely why the CCDH and IGCD are working overtime to 'harmonize' laws across the democratic world to censor any and all counternarratives.
In his article, Ahmed flat out lied, saying he "attended and recorded a private, three-day meeting of the world's most prominent anti-vaxxers." Far from being "private," the meeting in question was actually a public online conference, open to anyone and everyone around the world, with access to the recorded lectures part of the sign-up fee.
The fact that Ahmed lied about such an easily verifiable point tells you everything you need to know about the CCDH — and by extension the IGCD, which it clearly is working with. In the end, lies cannot stand up to the truth, which is precisely why the CCDH and IGCD are working overtime to "harmonize" laws across the democratic world to censor any and all counternarratives.
Like I said before, right now, it's primarily about silencing questions and inconvenient truths about the COVID shots, but in the future, these laws will allow them to silence discussion on any topic that threatens undemocratic rule by globalists.
To avoid such a fate, we must be relentless in our pursuit and sharing of the truth, and we must relentlessly demand our elected representatives stand up for freedom of speech and other Constitutional rights.

Douglas Messerli | A New Way of Seeing (on Jane Unrue's The House)
A NEW WAY OF SEEING
Jane Unrue The House (Providence, Rhode Island: Burning Deck, 2000)
The narrator of this beautiful poetic text describes, in its various aspects and relationships with its inhabit, a modernistic house, a house of great architectural style "built on narrow supporting columns arranged on a geometric grid...pierced around by windows." But while the house is almost wondrous in its ability to reflect illuminated light and receive sunlight, there is something almost sinister and dark about the constructed box.
At several points, the narrator—in her detailed descriptions of moving up and down its staircases and in and out of its rooms—lashes out in desperation seeking "a new house" or a complete immersion in the nearby lake. Indeed, at one point in her frustration, she seeks a new vantage-place by entering the matching house attached and looking out from its windows just has she has done from her own.
Much of her movement throughout this geometric grid is, perhaps, an attempt on the part of the narrator to find a new perspective, a new way of perceiving. And, as her masturbatory fantasies increase along with brief memories of sharing the house with another, the reader begins to perceive the very sterility of this glass container in which the narrator is entrapped.
There are no narrative punches or even near-explanations in this work, but the beauty of the language and the emotional effect the author achieves through it should delight anyone for whom plot is not the major device of fiction.

Q: Coloring the line You probably know the Hadwiger-Nelson problem, which states:

What is the minimal number $k$ such that there is a $k$-coloring of the plane such that no two points at distance $1$ have the same color?

This problem is open. There are known upper ($k=7$) and lower ($k=4$) bounds.
My question is: is the same problem for the line solved? I can see the obvious bound below given by $2$ and $3$ as a bound above, given by the coloring by intervals of length $\frac{2}{3}$. But is there a $2$-coloring of the line solving the problem?

A: A colouring of the line using just two colours would be to colour the intervals $[n,n+1)$, where $n\in \mathbb Z$ alternatively using the two colours. Clearly, no two points of distance $1$ have the same colour.

A: Sure! For $x, y \in \mathbb{R}$, consider a relation $a \sim b \iff a - b \in \mathbb{Z}$ -- that is, two numbers are in the relation if they differ by an integer. This is an equivalence relation, and it's easy to see that its equivalence classes are of the form $[x] = \{ x + k: k \in \mathbb{Z}\}$. Consider the set of equivalence classes $A = \mathbb{R}/\sim$. Pick a choice function $f: A \to \mathbb{R}$ that from each equivalence class picks a representative, i.e. satisfies $x = [f(x)]$: it exists by the axiom of choice. Now we'll construct a coloring, that is, a function $g: \mathbb{R} \to \{0, 1\}$: for $a \in \mathbb{R}$, consider $x = f([a])$. Since $[x] = [a]$, $a = x + k$ for some integer $k$. Put $g(a) = k \mod 2$. I'll leave it for you to show that $g$ is actually the coloring we want.

Ketchikan recertified as U.S. Coast Guard City
Posted by Maria Dudzak | Sep 1, 2021

Ketchikan celebrated its recertification as a United States Coast Guard City on Tuesday. Local, state and national dignitaries attended a ceremony to mark the occasion.
https://www.krbd.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/01CGCity_web.mp3
It was a beautiful, sunny day as a crowd of about 100 people gathered at Ketchikan's downtown cruise ship docks to celebrate the relationship between the city and Coast Guard members and their families. Assistant City Manager Lacey Simpson spoke briefly before introducing speakers.
"Ketchikan was first certified as a Coast Guard City in 2015, which was a tremendous honor for us. Today we join the other 29 communities throughout the nation that have also been designated. Including four communities in Alaska," Simpson said.
The other four Alaska cities are Sitka, Cordova, Kodiak and Valdez.
Ketchikan city mayor Bob Sivertsen provided a history of the Coast Guard in Ketchikan, beginning with its predecessor, the U.S. Lighthouse Service which arrived in 1910. Construction of Coast Guard Base Ketchikan began in 1919, and many of the original structures still remain. Today, the base is the regional hub for Southeast Alaska.
"They provide a variety of services to all the units in Juneau, Sitka, Petersburg and Ketchikan. And we should recognize the Coast Guard Auxiliary for all they do to support safety and safe boating. So I would like to thank the U.S. Coast Guard for their presence here in Ketchikan, and for being a valued sector of our community," Sivertsen said. "We are very proud of you."
Borough mayor Rodney Dial said the Coast Guard City designation is more than just a label.
U..S. Senator Dan Sullivan at the U.S. Coast Guard City recertification ceremony in Ketchikan, August 31, 2021 (KRBD staff photo by Maria Dudzak).
"It means that a community has made special efforts to acknowledge the professional work of the men and women and their families of the local Coast Guard base. And it represents a mutual supporting relationship," Dial said.
Ketchikan Base Commander Arthur Dehnz congratulated the community and presented a recertification proclamation signed by Commandant Karl L. Schultz. Dehnz reiterated that only 29 cities nationwide have received this designation.
"That's truly just a testament to all the people here, that out of the hundreds and hundreds of cities that the Coast Guard is stationed in throughout the country, that you all have earned this designation here. And really that's how welcome you've made the Coast Guard feel and how you've truly made us part of your family, and made this a home away from home," Dehnz said.
U.S. Senator Dan Sullivan thanked military veterans for their service, noting that Alaska has more veterans per capita than any other state. He congratulated the city and borough for the recertification. He said he'd like to see a larger federal presence in Alaska, especially Southeast.
"…whether it's more Coast Guard vessels. Whether it's the Fairweather finally coming. Whether it's Navy ships and the ability to build and repair them, which we have here. That's a vision we are working on," Sullivan said. "And it's not a pie-in-the-sky vision. It is a vision that is actually happening right now. And I think this recertification with regard to Ketchikan is a testament to that vision. We're going to work hard to make it happen. This is a really exciting day with regard to Ketchikan. So again to Ketchikan, to the Coast Guard, thank you both. Congratulations. I'm really honored to be able to celebrate on what is a picture-perfect day to commemorate this new, important recertification," Sullivan said.
The Coast Guard has about 200 active duty members in Ketchikan along with about 100 additional family members living and working in the community.

Looking for something to watch tonight? Time is precious and you don't want to spend it searching for a movie to only be disappointed with it in the end. So that's why I've brought you two movies for tonight. The movies I review here give you an idea of what's good to watch any time you want to quickly get a movie and start watching it. This week I'm giving you two movies that are totally worthy of your time.
The first movie... The Day After Tomorrow.
Welcome to the summer! What's one way to cool down? An ice age! First of all climate change is real people. If you don't think so, I'll remind of that later this summer when we are set to have the hottest summer on record. Second of all, my husband and I love this movie. Every time it's on television we catch ourselves turning it on. Doesn't matter if there's 5 minutes left or it's just started. It's a staple. We love it. I don't know if it's because it's set in New York or what but we just love turning it on. If you haven't seen this yet, then grab a popsicle, sit down on the couch and cool down as you watch and become familiar with the drastic incidents that can take place because of climate change.
The second movie... Deju Vu.
I hadn't watched this movie till about a year ago. It came out in 2006 but I somehow missed the boat. I think I remember seeing the trailer but I thought it was a different kind of movie that it really turned out to be. I watched this at the urging of my husband because he's a fan of Denzel Washington (the star of the movie). I sat down and watched it and I liked it. Then I saw it on tv a few weeks later and tuned in. I liked it a little bit more and then eventually it grew on me. I'd actually say this is on my top movies list. The story line was original. The characters are believable. New Orleans is a great back drop and me personally, I always wonder about if we could go back in time and alter events. Watch it, trust me it'll become one of your favorites too.
So as we start the summer, what are you watching?


Discussion in 'The Front Room' started by balkeriz, Mar 18, 2005.
I wonder how many are DAOC / ex DAOC users. Must be atleast half.
Half a daoc user? What happened there; legs were sold for daoc addiction?
Thanks all. Couldn't have done it without you.
Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooot I'm a Statistic, Yay Me!!!!!!!!!!!!
that many? must be the doacers trying to out number us here.
why arnt the genral threads popular then?

BLTN Reviews: 007 Legends (Wii U, PS3, 360, PC) Review
Time for another Better Late Than Never review, a review of a game too recent to be a retro review and too old to be a regular review! Our favorite world-renowned spy celebrated a milestone of an anniversary last year. We're a bit late to the party, but it's better than not showing up at all. Well... after playing through 007 Legends, the game to coincide with Bond's fiftieth, perhaps it was best to not show up at all. Here's SuperPhillip Central's review.
Call of "007, Reporting for Duty."
The James Bond film franchise might have celebrated its fiftieth anniversary last year, but old 007 is looking smoother, sharper, sexier and better than ever. Too bad the same can't be said anymore about his licensed games. 007: Quantum of Solace and even Blood Stone were admirable attempts of Activision's studios bringing Bond to current generation systems. The Wii's GoldenEye 007 is not just a great shooter for the system, but it is a great shooter in general. The same team behind that game, Eurocom, created a special game featuring everyone's favorite smooth-talking spy for Bond's fiftieth anniversary, 007 Legends. Let's just say the world is not enough to ask me to go back to this game after playing it through once.
007 Legends takes Daniel Craig's version of James Bond, though noticeably without his actual voice, through missions based on one of each past Bond actors' films: Sean Connery's Goldfinger, George Lazenby's On Her Majesty's Secret Service, Timothy Dalton's Licence to Kill, Pierce Brosnan's Die Another Day, and Roger Moore's Moonraker, in that order. To say that Eurocom took great liberties with how each film's plot is portrayed to fit video game form is an understatement. Someone can correct me, but I don't think James Bond ever went toe-to-toe with a U.S. Army tank at Fort Knox in Goldfinger.
Another issue is that there is no cohesion between the different movies. 007 Legends starts with James Bond battling a target on top of a speeding train. Bond's partner mistakenly snipes him in the chest, having him fall off the train and far down into the watery abyss below, as seen in the opening gambit of the movie Skyfall. The missions played out in 007 Legends are merely memories that Bond has while submerged underwater, and they have no logical adherence to one another. For Goldfinger, for instance, you are thrust in a scene with a dead woman, covered in gold body paint. If you haven't seen the original movie, you probably don't have any clue as to what is going on. This is an issue throughout the entire game, being placed into scenes without context. It just feels like a fragmented, poorly put together way of putting players into each film.
Why do I feel more like Rambo
and less like James Bond?
007 Legends feels less like a James Bond game and more like a Call of Duty clone. The majority of the time you're tasked with moving and mowing through corridors and rooms full of enemy fodder. The game gives advice that you can use stealth to get through rooms without conflict, but it's honestly not worth the trouble, because stealth is so clumsily executed in the game that it's better to just act like The Terminator, going in guns blazing, rather than a secret agent.
I remember when James Bond stormed Fort Knox
and battled a tank. Wait. What?
Unfortunately, there are segments in 007 Legends that are critical stealth areas. This basically means that if you raise the alarm, you have to restart from the last checkpoint. These are particularly annoying, as has been stated, the stealth in the game is not up to par. You can't even move fallen bodies, which results in an enemy coming in contact with their dead or unconscious comrade and sounding the alarm.
Bond is about to give these goons
the cold shoulder.
I understand that Eurocom felt the need to add these segments to prevent a sense of ennui from settling in, but they're just frustrating. Regardless, 007 Legends still feels like it has a licence for repetition. How many times can we possibly search the main bad guy's office for clues? I swear, 007 Legends has more offices than State Farm. How many times must we enter a QTE-fest Punch-Out!-esque mini-game to topple a boss? And how many times must we deduce passkeys and hack open doors with our phone? If the shooting down foes through room after room does nothing for you, then neither will these aforementioned tasks. There are some mechanics that switch things up, such as skiing down a slope, evading bullets and trees alike, or picking off enemies from a helicopter, but these more creative forms of gameplay are few and far in-between.
Swing a fist at James Bond?
That was a grave mistake.
Each film comes with two or three missions to slog through. However, completionists can look into collecting intel strewn about the levels, revealing information about the enemy groups, villains and other characters in each movie. Unfortunately, even here 007 Legends fails, because levels are just way too long. Yes, you can quit mid-level and pick up at the checkpoint where you left off, but if you missed one piece of intel in a given mission, you have to play through that entire level just to collect it. Seeing how most missions take anywhere between a half-hour and an hour to complete, this is a huge inconvenience.
It's not just a high powered weapon,
it's a fashion statement.
One positive contribution to the campaign is the addition of earning experience points for performing tasks and accomplishing challenges. This XP can be used to purchase weapon upgrades for 007's arsenal, gadget upgrades, as well as attribute boosts. Spending XP is completely optional, but it does make the game a bit easier in difficulty.
If I were a cat, you could say
I had the pick of the litter.
Outside of the solo experience, there is multiplayer for up to 12 players online. The modes are rather inventive, but like the scalp of a current day Sean Connery, the activity online is quite bare. It's next to impossible to set up games in any mode besides Team Conflict. It's a shame, too, because the multiplayer is great fun online. Thankfully, there's local multiplayer available, offering split-screen carnage for up to four players. It's something a lot of first-person shooters nowadays skimp out on, so it's lovely to see it present in 007 Legends.
It's an absolute shame that Activision's fourth and final game with the James Bond license is such a travesty. There's little incentive for the player to continue plowing through wave after wave of enemies in a Call of Duty clone-like fashion. The mission structure is too linear to entertain for long (I, personally, would have loved to see missions set up with multiple objectives that could be completed in any order rather than what we have now), the stealth elements are poorly conceived and even more horribly executed, and the presentation just feels less than status quo-- certainly unbecoming of the James Bond name. While 007's legendary anniversary went off without a hitch, 007 Legends will leave an awful taste in players' mouths-- one that a martini that is shaken and not stirred won't be strong enough to cover up.

Claudio Remeseira, editor of "Hispanic New York: A Sourcebook," signed books at the launch last week.
Dispatches, United States
"Hispanic New York: A Sourcebook" Traces The City's Latin History
September 20, 2010 By Roque Planas

NEW YORK — In 1934, the classic tango artist Carlos Gardel premiered his film "Cuesta Abajo" in the Campo Amor theater in Harlem, before an audience of 3,000 – a tremendous success for the time.
While thinking about Latino culture in New York doesn't necessarily evoke images of famous Argentines, Gardel lived the last year and a half of his life here in the city, where some of his films were shot.
Gardel's story is one of the lesser known facets of Latino history in New York detailed in the new book "Hispanic New York: A Sourcebook," which was launched last week at an event in Columbia University to commemorate Hispanic Heritage Month.
According to the editor, Claudio Remeseira, the purpose of the book is to bring readers basic documents, some of which are hard to find, that show the long history and diversity of the Latino experience in New York.
The idea to do the book evolved out of a class Remeseira teaches about Hispanic history in New York at Columbia University. For the class, Remeseira compiles a documentary reader.
The first person in New York that would today be considered "Hispanic" was Juan Rodríguez, a free mulatto from the island of Hispaniola – the site of contemporary Haiti and the Dominican Republic. Rodríguez arrived in Manhattan in the early sixteenth century, preceding not only the Anglo-Saxon presence in Manhattan, but also Dutch colonization.
The Latino presence remained a constant over the years. The nineteenth-century poet Walt Whitman praised the city's Hispanic presence and admired the sound of the Spanish language, according to contributor Paul Berman. New York was the site where Cuban intellectual and independence leader José Martí wrote his famous criticisms of the colonial regime and, ironically, warned that Latin America should be cautious of falling into a subordinate relationship with the United States.
While New York has always counted Hispanics among it's residents, the year 1990 marked a transition, according to historian Gabriel Haslip-Viera. At that point, immigrants from Mexico and Central America began to arrive "in truly unprecedented numbers," Haslip-Viera said at last week's launch.
Today Hispanics make up nearly one third of the city's population.
It is not just the size, but also diversity that marks New York's Hispanic community. Unlike areas where immigrants have typically arrived largely from a single country — such as the Cuban-American community of south Florida or the Mexican-American communities of the southwest — in New York City, no one group can claim dominance.
According to the authors, this has led to a situation in which Latinos in New York forge a common identity and deemphasize national differences.
Professor of Latin American studies at City University of New York Milagros Ricourt described experiencing this characteristic when doing her doctoral research in the neighborhood of Corona, Queens, 24 years ago.
"I really wanted to go and study Dominicans, but I couldn't," Ricourt said. "I couldn't extract Dominicans from the rest of the (Latino) community."
Latinos aren't necessarily easy to separate from the non-Hispanic American population, either, according to Remeseira. A central contribution of the book, he said, is "to show that our Hispanic culture is an integral part of the culture of the United States, not a foreign addition."

The Lady Saints came out with something to prove against Chipola College (10-1), the number three team in the nation and three time defending state champions. Led by freshman shooting guard Quanisha Dixon, who had 30 points and four steals, the Saints pulled off the upset 85-79 in front of a large and raucous home crowd.
Santa Fe took a 31-26 lead with 4:31 to play after Chelsea McMillan knocked down two free throw. The Indians would then score the next nine points to take a 35-32 lead into the half.
Chipola came out in the second half and hit two shots right away, but Taneski Richardson brought the crowd back to its feet with a three pointer from the top of the key to cut the Indian lead to 39-35.
The teams traded the lead back and forth until Santa Fe took the lead for good at the 9:06 mark on a three pointer by Steffi Sorensen to give the Saints a 55-53 edge.
Some clutch free throws by Dixon, Nichelle Glover and Jhenel Franklin helped seal the win for the Saints, who improved to 8-1 on the season.
Glover, who had been in foul trouble most of the first half, helped lead the way for the Saints in the second half, with 13 points and seven rebounds.
The Saints had four players in double figures including Dixon with 30, Glover 14, Sorensen 13 and Taneski Richardson with 11. As a team, Santa Fe shot 77% from the free throw line for the game, and only missed one the last four minutes of the game, which was the deciding factor down the stretch.
Next up for the Saints is a home game against Tallahassee Community College, who handed the Saints their only loss of the season earlier in the year. The game is Saturday, December 1 at 7pm in the SFCC Gymnasium.


Epixode might just be walking into the big league!
In 2013, he signed his first professional contract with Global One Entertainment and released his first hit single " Tun up" which earned him nomination in the discovery of the year category for BASS awards in that year.
Theophillus Nii Ardey Otoo popularly known to fans across the world as Epixode has progressively proven to the reggae and dancehall world that he is one of the best when the genre is made a topic of confabulation, drawing attention of global music marketers with his outstanding music talent and creativity.
Epixode's management confirmed through the label's agent Gino XXL Entertainment based in Amsterdam that Epixode has signed a lucrative distribution deal and his new music will be marketed globally by the Jamaican independent label, VP Records.

The National Lottery Unveils 'Paralympic Way' to honour ParalympicsGB athletes
"Paralympic Way": iconic street renamed for the games
World-famous Wembley street 'Olympic Way' has been temporarily renamed 'Paralympic Way' until our Paralympic heroes are welcomed home by The National Lottery ParalympicsGB Homecoming event at The SSE Arena on 12 September.
'Olympic Way' is one of the most iconic walks in the sporting world, connecting Wembley Park Tube Station to Wembley Stadium. Olympic Way, which was renamed in 1948, ahead of the Summer Olympics held in London, is now, for the duration of the Paralympic Games, to be known as 'Paralympic Way'.
The name change is in recognition of the ParalympicsGB team's achievements in past games and to offer support during the Tokyo games, highlighting the public's admiration of the competing athletes.
Returning athletes will make their way to Paralympic Way for The National Lottery's ParalympicsGB Homecoming event, taking place at The SSE Arena, Wembley, on Sunday 12 September which includes a stellar line-up of the very best of British music and entertainment.
The line-up is set to include performances from Madness, Clean Bandit, Sigma, Jay Prince, Birdy, Jamie Cullum, James Arthur, Evelyn Glennie with Michael A. Levine, Ella Henderson, Sheku Kanneh-Mason, House Gospel Choir, and poet Raymond Antrobus.
As a thank you for supporting ParalympicsGB, every time they buy a ticket, 3,500 pairs of tickets will be available to National Lottery players via a ballot. The ballot is now open, and closes on 26 August. For further details on how to enter, please visit www.TokyoHomecoming.com.
Deputy Leader of Brent Council, Cllr Margaret McLennan, said: "Brent is one of the most diverse boroughs in the country and we support diversity and equality of opportunity in all forms. As such, I am so proud that we are able to show our support for our incredible Paralympic athletes. It has been great to work with the National Lottery to put these signs in place for the duration of the Games. I would also encourage our residents to enter the free ballot for a chance to attend the Homecoming Concert for the Paralympic Team GB athletes."
Ellie Robinson, Rio 2016 Paralympic Swimming gold medallist, said, "It is an honour to have the legendary Olympic Way so appropriately renamed over the next few weeks. I know that every one of the team will be proud to arrive back from Tokyo via Paralympic Way for The National Lottery's ParalympicsGB Homecoming on September 12. I know only too well how much the support from the Great British public means when competing and the creation of Paralympic Way to celebrate the team will only spur our athletes on more."

TST (Mantoux) is an injection of a very small amount of fluid in the forearm. A client must return in 48-72 hours after the injection to have the skin test results read by the clinic nurse. At that time written results are given. If the test is positive, further tests need to be done to determine if you actually have Tuberculosis disease which may be communicable to others.
TB tests are given on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Fridays at the Grant County Health Department. If the test is positive, the patient will be educated on the medications needed to treat tuberculosis and given medications at no charge to treat their infection.

Inquiry letters written to employers set out your qualifications for a job. They also end in a paragraph stating that you will follow up with the employer to arrange an interview. When you want to find out the status of your inquiry letter, your follow-up letter will include some of the same information, but it will remain brief.
Wait at least two weeks after you send your inquiry letter before you write your follow-up letter. This gives the employer enough time to consider your resume and whether there is a position available that would suit you.
Type the date on the top line of the letter on the left-hand side of the page. Skip a line, then type your name. Type your street address on the next line, and on the next, your city, state and zip code. Skip a line, and type the employer's name. Put the employer's title on the next line, and the name of the company on the next. This should be followed by the employer's street address on one line, and then the city, state and zip code on the next.
Skip two lines. Write: Dear (Mr., Ms., Mrs. or Dr.) and the last name of the person you wish to contact. Punctuate this line with a colon. For example, Dear Ms. Jones:
Leave a double space. Begin the text of your letter by reminding the employer that you sent in an inquiry letter on a certain date along with your resume. State that you wrote to inquire about the availability of openings for the position referenced in your letter.
Reiterate your interest in working for the company. In the second paragraph, write how you can benefit the company, not how the company can benefit you.
Close the letter with a statement that you hope to hear from the employer soon and look forward to discussing the possibility of your employment with the company in person.
End the letter with a closing such as sincerely or regards. Leave a blank space for a handwritten signature. Type your signature. Sign your letter in ink. Put your contact information below your typewritten signature to make it easy for the employer to respond to your letter.
Another option is to send an email that contains the same content as the letter, such as your reason for writing and how you are qualified for the job. This method is best to use if you know the employer uses email as a primary means of communication.

For the past few years, White Castle has used the unofficial motto "The Crave is a Powerful Thing" and, on Twitter, the fast food chain encourages people to share their "crazy Craver stories" in 200-ish characters or less. Well, hold on to your hashtag, social media team, because this weekend's #BoldCraver is probably the dude who went into an Indiana White Castle and made some meth in the men's room. The crave… it is, in fact, powerful.
On Friday morning, the Indiana State Police were called to a White Castle in Hobart after a "one pot" meth lab was discovered inside the restaurant's bathroom. According to NWI.com, one person was taken into custody, but by Sunday, that suspect had been released "pending charges." Four officers from the Hobart Police Department were treated for exposure to the chemicals contained within the lab. WGN reports that the White Castle was cordoned off with yellow police tape for most of the day but, after an inspection from the local board of health, was allowed to reopen at 6 PM.
A one-pot meth lab is even less sophisticated than the name implies. It's basically a plastic bottle—meth aficionados prefer Powerade or Gatorade bottles—filled with the necessary chemicals to make crank. This process is also extremely dangerous, because a soda bottle wasn't designed for ultra-flammable chemical reactions involving corrosive chemicals.
White Castle hasn't commented beyond Richardson's statement, but it might want to be more specific about what kind of "cravings" it's talking about.


Plutonium, neptunium, technetium, and iodine present appreciable risks at nuclear waste disposal sites around the world due to their potential mobility. Sorption of each of these radionuclides is profoundly influenced by oxidation/ reduction reactions. Therefore, the mobility of each radionuclide may be greatly influenced by redox conditions of the natural or engineered system. The primary focus of this study was to determine distribution coefficients (Kd) for each radionuclide for engineered concrete and saltstone systems with varying amounts of reducing slag (a cement additive to create a reducing environment), and for iodide/iodate in natural sediments. Saltstones are a mixture of cement, high ionic strength liquid wastes, and reducing slag used to sequester radionuclides. The engineered solids examined in this work are 1) aged cement: an 50 year old aged concrete from which the aggregate has been removed 2) Vault 2 concrete: a concrete formulation containing 17% reducing slag to be used as during vault construction at the SRS, 3) TR547: a saltstone formulation containing 45% reducing slag and 4) TR545: a saltstone formulation containing 90% reducing slag.The natural sediments used are two end member sediments (subsurface clayey and subsurfaec sandy) as well as a wetland sediment from Four Mile Branch.
Sorption experiments were performed under oxidizing and reducing conditions using Np(V), Pu(IV), Tc(VII), I(VII) and I(I-). Neptunium and plutonium both exhibited strong affinity for concrete and saltstones (a cementitious low-level nuclear waste form) under both oxidizing and reducing conditions. Distribution coefficient (Kd) values of >10 5 (mL/g) were calculated for all Np and Pu systems under oxidizing and reduction conditions. Experimental conditions had a far greater effect on Tc sorption. Under oxidizing conditions, Tc showed similar affinity for concrete and saltstone despite the presence of reducing slag, and Kd values remained around 10 (mL/g). However, under reducing conditions, Tc sorption increased relative to the oxidizing conditions, and the Kd values increased with increasing reducing slag concentration in the solid with values ranging from approximately 200 to 15,000 (mL/g). This behavior is consistent with reduction of Tc(VII) to Tc(IV). Similar reduction of Tc(VII) in the presence of saltstone was observed by Lukens et al. (2005). The rate of Tc sorption, from which reduction was infered, increased with increasing reducing slag content. It was determined there is a second order dependence on slag concentration, and steady state is reached around 3 weeks. Under oxidizing conditions, the iodide exhibited similar behavior to Tc, and had Kd values significantly lower than Np and Pu. However, unlike the Tc systems, increased sorption was not observed under reducing conditions thus indicating that the majority of iodine remains as the initially amended iodide in both systems.
Unlike with the highly reducing engineered systems above, when found in natural environments, iodine can exist as either iodate or iodide. Although easily reducible, iodate is known to experience stronger sorption to sediments than the reduced form iodide. This was shown to be true for all three soils under oxidizing conditions with the most sorption to the wetland soil, followed by the clayey, and then the sandy. There was no noticeable change in the iodate clayey soil Kd values under either oxidizing or reducing conditions indicating it remained as iodate. However, under reducing conditions, the wetland soil apparently reduced the iodate to iodide by the 4th day, which resulted in an 8 fold decrease in sorption. The final iodate equilibrium Kd value under reducing conditions was equal to that of iodide suggesting complete reduction of the iodate.

What can you do with a 50 year old SEARS warehouse? In this case we turned it into a state of the art gym. O2 Fitness of Raleigh wanted to expand their footprint in Wilmington. They turned to the Oleander Company, owners of the Hanover Shopping Center. In the sixties Hanover Shopping Center was home to a Howard Johnson's restaurant, Winn-Dixie and a demonstration bomb shelter. Now the area boasts Panera Bread, a Starbucks and O2. We helped the owner transform the outside and took charge with the design of the interior. Taking advantage of existing brick walls and high ceilings, we created a steam-punk gym for the 21st century.


How does the interstellar medium affect astronomical observations?
The interstellar medium is, of course, itself a target for astronomical study. However, it can also complicate astronomical observations substantially. Think about sunsets on Earth. For some reason, the Sun looks much redder when it is setting than it does during the middle of the day. That is because when the Sun is low in the sky it shines through dustier air; the dust in the sky tends to absorb proportionately more blue light and allow proportionately more red light to shine through. This effect of dust is called extinction, and it both changes the observed colors of astronomical objects and obscures them from view.

Pavel Antonovich Rizzoni, or Paolo Rizzoni (Russian:Павел Антонович Риццони; 20 October 1823, Riga – 1913, Saint Petersburg) was a Russian genre painter and graphic artist of Italian ancestry.

Biography
He was born into a middle-class family. His father was a veteran of the Napoleonic armies; originally from Bologna. His younger brother, Alexander, was also a painter. He received his first lessons from a local artist, then audited classes at the Imperial Academy of Arts from 1839 to 1847. Initially, he studied historical painting with Alexey Tarasovich Markov then, from 1843, battle painting with Alexander Sauerweid. In the end, he decided to become a genre artist. During his time there, he was awarded several silver and gold medals.

The Academy presented him with a stipend for a study trip. He visited Germany, Holland and Belgium, but was forced to cut his trip short due the Revolutions of 1848. In 1850, he received another stipend and, together with the artist Yegor Meyer, travelled through Bessarabia, Byelorussia and the Caucasus. Upon their return, he presented some paintings that earned him the title of Academician.

Despite this, his works were not popular, and were given poor reviews by the critics, who considered them to be vulgar. As a result, he only showed his paintings at Academic exhibitions. From 1861 to 1866, he worked as a drawing teacher at several women's gymnasia, while giving private painting lessons. He retired with the rank of Collegiate Assessor in 1886.

He and his wife Evdokia Grigorievna née Timofeeva, the daughter of a craftsman, had two daughters. Their youngest, Vera, married the English-born pianist, Yevgeny Golliday (originally Eugene Holliday), and was the mother of the famous actress, .

His works may be seen at the Tretyakov Gallery and the State Russian Museum, among others.

Functions Of Digital Camera You Need To Know Photography may be referred too as being the process of creating moving or still pictures by means of capturing live data by observing radiations and storing it to sensitive medium similar to electronic sensors or electromagnetic film. The camera is simply an image forming device and the photographic film or electronic image sensors serves as its recording medium. In this modern time, digital cameras have electronic medium that function as storing medium. The idea behind camera is, it controls the amount of light and the time exposure of the camera to the outer world by using a lens. We can generate an image on the film when there's enough light. In getting real time original image, the raw image can be developed. Movie camera is yet another kind of camera which is basically the total movements are captured and not just the stills. The idea behind a movie camera is that it captures data in series of photos without delays in between them. As a result, this is creating a moving frame that is captured with the voice. We need to be certain that we're adjusting the camera either automatically or manually to be sure that we're going to get a clear and sharp photograph. Following are camera controls together with its short description.
Number 2. Aperture – this can be referred as the adjustments of iris or otherwise known as the "f" number. Most of the time, this number controls the amount of light that pass through the camera's lens. The aperture is known to create some effect on the depth of field and focus. Number 3. Shutter speed – this controls the speed of the shutter which it is closing and opening are referred as shutter speed. Most of the time, this is done in milliseconds, which is the same time that the imaging medium and light are exposed to storing medium. Number 4. White balance – this is actually a special feature in digital camera that are being used to guarantee that white light is captured as it's in real medium so colors in imaging area look natural. Number 5.Metering – this is basically measuring the amount of exposure of light and done manually in an effort to ensure that bright light as well as shadow regions too are captured based on the preferences of the photographer.
