Chemtrails / Geoengineering – yes they are spraying us like bugs but what are they spraying and why?
1st July 2019 The Sovereigner Opinion 2 comments
On clear sunny days more and more people are looking up at the sky, unsure of what to make of what they often see
Many are noticing long lingering trails of aircraft emissions hovering above us, turning our skies in to a grey drab whispy haze (as seen today over the Welsh capital) But why and what are these trails? Aren't they simply exhaust fumes from planes? And aren't people who theorise that these could be hazardous to human health and the natural world merely people with overactive imaginations?
It's an area which causes a dilemma for nervous news publishers across the globe – should they publish a serious story which dares to even question the official line on this matter and risk 'being called names' and metaphorically burnt at the stake Galileo style?
(video of trails over south Wales by Michael Alexis B)
It's not only newspaper editors who are in a pickle. Science, which is supposed to thrive on healthy evidence based questioning and scepticism, has possibly never been such a secretive intolerant club as it is today, gripped by fear and manipulated by governmental grants and corporate financial incentives and control. The end results are inconsistencies and contradictions when it comes to aerial spraying as well as many others subjects.
Early morning spraying over Cardiff, Wales, May 2019
At their very basic level, these trails, popularly known as Chemtrails, are believed to be due to a programme of aerial spraying that is being carried out in UK airspace and also over other NATO countries and beyond. The speculation is that aeroplanes are purposefully spraying chemicals and/or tiny particles or fibres into the atmosphere for reasons that are not yet fully understood or officially known. These are said to linger in our skies, often making them hazy, and are also believed to potentially affect the health of humans and the natural world. Some are suggesting that it is to do with weather manipulation and the HAARP technology, the military and defence – others that it is to do with food, crop and general population control. Maybe it's a case of 'all of the above.'
As in a number of other areas such as man-made global warming, there has been very little room for debate or differing views. This is thankfully gradually changing. The highly contentious IPCC / International Panel on Climate Change and their processes are now being rightly challenged and questioned based on some very worrying allegations. Even so, the so-called liberal mainstream media tries to ensure that those who simply ask questions or express concern or scepticism which doesn't tie in with the perceived truth, are suitably pilloried with extreme language—'deniers', which calls to mind Holocaust deniers (which one, there are so many?) being a particular favorite. Or in the case of chemtrails – tin foil hat wearers, kooks and fruitcakes. Little green men might also be mentioned. The obscene crime of possibly being a Christian or of maybe having an opinion which may not be considered 'on the left' may also be targeted when other avenues of derision have been exhausted.
However, there's a slight problem with such lines of attack. Geoengineering is an officially admitted governmental program of weather modification which 'proposes', for example, spraying sulphuric acid into the stratosphere to combat the perceived man-made global warming threat.
The UK Government has acknowledged this 'proposed' programme of geoengineering, known as both SRM (Solar Radiation Management) and S.A.I (Stratospheric Aerosol Injection) although there still remains ambiguity between the terminologies of geoengineering, chemtrails, troposphere and stratosphere spraying, leading many to simply call it atmosphere spraying.
Another laborious term for this official programme of spraying is Stratospheric Aerosol Geo engineering (S.A.G) – an officially recognised initiative by the UK Government via the Solar Radiation Management Governance Initiative (S.R.M.G.I) which was launched in March 2010 in response to a 2009 Royal Society report called Geoengineering the climate: science, governance and uncertainty
Trails over Switzerland
But against all contrary evidence, the releasing of large quantities of aerosols in to the atmosphere by aircraft is still only claimed to be a proposal by authorities rather than an active programme being carried out in the skies above us at a regular rate. A 2009 Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC) report titled Geoengineering options for-mitigating climate change proposes the same aerosol spraying ideas but admitted the impacts, costs and risks involved to health and the environment could not be known.
The sky above Llanelli (Ffoto – Michael Alexis B)
The report released in April 2009 outlines 'possible proposals' for the release of stratospheric aerosols of sub microscopic particles such as sulphate, metals, dielectrics, resonant scatterers or dust by using aircraft, possibly by addition to aviation fuel, which allegedly reduces the cost of delivery.
The report states that:
"It is clear from the assessment of Geo-engineering options presented here that there are large uncertainties regarding the effectiveness, impacts, technical feasibility, cost and risks of all the schemes considered."
In other words, nobody can tell what the effects could be. This of course includes risks to human health and the natural environment.

In their own findings and preliminary notes regarding geoengineering, the SRMGI, which is partnered with The Royal Society, The World Academy of Sciences (TWAS) and Environmental Defense Fund (EDF), and facilitated by the UK Parliament, seem to indict themselves in regard to the deliberate manipulation of the public, when they stated on the SRMGI's own website that the establishment should:
"Involve general public because a) they pay for it, b) they have the power to stop it. Keep them informed on what GE (Geo engineering) is for, but don't necessarily ask their permission."
The quote has since been removed but has been archived online.
This all ultimately falls under the UN's dreaded global Agenda 21 / Sustainable Development doctrine which seeks to control and manipulate a great deal of our lives and environment, often under the false pretext of the 'Green Mask' as the American Rosa Koire puts it. Many credible people are going further, with ex Australian politician Ann Bressington recently announcing that the dangers of geo engineering and Agenda 21 are a threat to health and life as we know it.
This globalist agenda of Agenda 21 / Sustainable Development, as well as seeking to gain control over most aspects of our lives, has been suggested by many to be also working to eradicate national sovereignty, individual rights and all private property, indoctrinating a generation of children to become 'global citizens' in a Brave New World global village in the process. Too far-fetched? Or just too much to think about?
It's claimed that the difference between normal exhaust fumes from an aircraft, known as contrails, and the heavy lingering and hazy chemical trails we've seen in recent years, is that contrails are mostly made of crystallised moisture (ice) left by aircraft under very specific conditions; very high altitude and very cold. Contrails dissipate very quickly, even in ideal conditions. However, as many people are observing, chemtrail aerosols linger around for five or more hours and often turn a beautiful blue sky in to a general grey whispy haze.
Physical evidence has been documented by tens of thousands of citizens throughout Britain and the world for over a decade by now, with millions more observational witnesses. Photographs from skies pre 1990 are believed to demonstrably show that aircraft never used to leave such trails except on very rare occasions. Observers are also claiming that, as more awareness of aerosol spraying is building, the sprayers are subtly adapting their techniques to make themselves more difficult to track and spot.
According to sites such as Chemtrail Project UK , independent labs are detecting toxic levels of aluminum, barium, magnesium and other high levels of conductive and heavy metals elements as well as unknown biological components and nano material in rainwater samples, whilst soil pH levels are reading lower than normal – meaning a potential infertile future soil. The dramatic reduction in bee numbers seen in recent years is also believed to be possibly linked to aerosol spraying.
If true, geoengineering/aerosol spraying programmes are being implemented outside of any legal framework, national or international, without the knowledge or informed consent of the populations, and in violation of the most elementary scientific and health precautionary principles.
The skies over Wales
And if any aerosols are being released in to the atmosphere above Wales for whatever reason or initiative, there is obviously a clear duty on the Welsh Government to fully investigate this under their devolved responsibilities for environment/pollution, food, health, and the public welfare and human rights of all Welsh citizens. As of yet no one in the Welsh Government has broached the subject.
A Sovereign Wales petition for an independent investigation was turned down by the Welsh Government on the basis that anything to do with aircraft has nothing to do with Wales – an almost literal head in the sand reasoning. See inadmissible petitions here (page 43).
It's interesting to note that the Welsh Government did not seek to deny the claim of aerosol spraying, merely to deny all responsibility and accountability – something which could not be allowed to happen in a truly sovereign state and should not be morally allowed under any situation.
The Skyguard initiative held a conference at the European Parliament in Brussels in 2013 to address this issue, supported by MEP Mrs Tatjana Zdanoka and with speakers from numerous European countries as well as the USA. The subject has also been discussed at UN level as can be seen here:
This south Wales You Tube channel offers some real observable evidence of lingering aerosol trails:
So far, people merely asking rational questions about the possible health implications of any aerosol release programmes are met with derision and even anger. Wikipedia, as with a number of other sensitive issues, does not seem to be able to provide a balanced source of information in this area but there are plenty of good sites that provide some solid information and help – Look up! being one of the better ones in Britain as well as the previously mentioned Chemtrail Project UK
Questions regarding who exactly is spraying and why exactly they are doing it are still unresolved but it's no longer good enough to simply dismiss the valid questions being raised as wild conspiracy theories, fantasy and tin foil hat territory. The lazy name calling and sniggering needs to make way for rational investigation to take place by qualified independent as well as governmental sources. All the available evidence needs to be considered and the findings published and peer-reviewed for all of us to see. But don't leave it to the experts – do your own research, look up, think, speak, consider.

I first noticed this spraying when returning to the US from abroad in the late 1990's. Previously, when we saw such lingering trails in the sky, it would invariably be used for "sky writing" campaigns, such as, 'Eat at Moe's', or, 'Will You Marry Me, Sue?'. Since then, I have seen these trails all over the US and many foreign countries. They do not follow commercial flight paths. Instead, they spread out in a fan or grid pattern until the formerly clear blue skies are completely hazy. I have noticed the same two or three aircraft pass over, shut off whatever they are spraying, loop around and resume spraying once they were lined up again on their grid pattern. What sort of flights would need to criss-cross the same patch of sky a half-dozen times or more? When the governments do grudgingly admit they are "doing something", they claim it's to help fight global warming or to bring rain. Alternately they deny everything and claim this is simply water vapor hanging in the sky for hours on end. Whatever it is, it must be extraordinarily expensive to maintain fleets of these craft and fly them all over. The question remains, why? And if it's beneficial, why lie about it? As an aside, the US military has in the past exposed the public to potentially dangerous radiation, chemicals, and other substances to "see what would happen". What I don't understand is why they would do this if they have to live under the same skies?

The Hate Speech Bill: A Road to Hell Paved with Good Intentions?
In a multi-cultural and divided society, hate speech is probably one of the most deconstructive crimes that can be committed. Hate speech is a tool most often used to divide people and to cause conflict. However, one must always have clear sight of the distinction...
By Johan van der Merwe
In a multi-cultural and divided society, hate speech is probably one of the most deconstructive crimes that can be committed.
Hate speech is a tool most often used to divide people and to cause conflict. However, one must always have clear sight of the distinction between hate speech and exercising one's right to freedom of expression (section 16(1) of the Constitution) which, of course, is limited. Hate speech, incitement of violence, and propaganda for war, are not protected in terms of section 16(2) of the Constitution.
Earlier in 2016, Parliament proposed the new Prevention and Combating of Hate Crimes and Hate Speech Bill.
In this Bill the legislature intends to criminalize hate speech and seemingly related acts. This goal of the legislature is honourable, and even morally sound. However, the problem arises with the wording of the Bill and the definition given to hate speech. The Bill sets out iron-fisted limitations on the right to freedom of expression, and the act of hate speech is so broadened that it is in fact quite precarious.
We all know saying things to people can get you into trouble – for instance, with defamation (where you intentionally harm the reputation of another) and crimen iniuria (where you intentionally harm the dignity of a person). But the Bill takes this to a whole new level. Have a look:
Section 4(1)(a) of the Bill states:
Any person who intentionally, by means of any communication whatsoever, communicates to one or more persons in a manner that –
(i) advocates hatred towards any other person or group of persons; or
(ii) is threatening, abusive or insulting towards any other person or group of persons,"
And furthermore:
demonstrates a clear intention, having regard to all the circumstances, to –
(aa) incite others to harm any person or group of persons, whether or not such person or group of persons is harmed; or
(bb) stir up violence against, or bring into contempt or ridicule, any person or group of persons,
Then there are grounds upon which one is not allowed to do so, which includes:
race, gender, sex, which includes intersex, ethnic or social origin, colour, sexual orientation, religion, belief, culture, language, birth, disability, HIV status, nationality, gender identity, albinism or occupation or trade
In short, hate speech can be anything. The normal criteria of hate speech, being the inciting of violence and hate, has now been broadened to 'insulting', 'ridicule', or 'bringing into contempt', not even an individual, but a numberless, faceless group of people who are 'insulted'. We enter into a twilight zone when we read the definition of a "victim" in the Bill, which includes a juristic person (for example, a company). The intention of this definition is for situations where companies are targeted because they are owned by, for example, Muslims or homosexuals. However, the vagueness of it is striking.
Source: The Telegraph.
This Bill also includes any electronic communications (section 4(1(b)) that transgresses any of the abovementioned vague concepts, thus including the internet and social media. According to section 4(1)(c), the mere act of making it available (i.e. sharing it privately) renders one guilty.
The underlying idea of this Bill, being to stop the very malicious attacks on, for example, homosexuals and intersex persons who are met with extreme violence and corrective rape, is most honourable and, much needed. I am not commenting on the validity of the protection the Bill strives to give, but I believe that this Bill is, in some instances, overzealous.
I will immediately concede that fostering hate, inciting violence, threatening and abusing a group of persons on arbitrary grounds, is intolerable. However, the Bill includes acts that can be a great limitation of free speech. It is important to note that the Act does not define what "insulting", "bringing into contempt", or "ridicule", means. It is therefore prudent to explore what these terms would ordinarily mean.
"Insult" is defined by the Oxford Dictionary as "to say or do something that offends" and "insulting" is defined as "causing or intending to cause someone to feel offended." Does this mean that offending someone becomes a criminal offence? How is it measured? Is it how the person feels about what you said? What people find offensive, is immeasurably varied. By using these vague concepts the sublimity the Bill's purpose is ridiculed in the application thereof.
To be fair, the Bill states that the insult must be coupled with the intent to "bring into contempt" or "ridicule." "Contempt" is defined as "feeling like something is not worthy of respect" and "ridicule" is defined as "unkind comments to make fun of or makes them look silly." Feeling uncomfortable, yet?
One might ask, "well, is it not something to strive for that we should respect each other?" I will answer yes, but making the failure to do so a criminal offence, is extreme. I agree that racist comments and ridiculing people arbitrarily on the base of race, sex, and religion is wrong, but this Bill goes too far. The Bill gives no defence such as truth, public interest, or even jest in the manner that the criminal offence of defamation does. Defamation or crimen iniuria needs to have a specific victim, but the Bill defines the victim as any person belonging to any group who is insulted by your comment. You might not even know about it, until the police comes knocking on your door. This broadness is aimed at instances like Penny Sparrow's comments, which is obviously wrong. But including ridicule and insult to the repertoire of hate speech, without any defence, seems a too tight rein on freedom of speech. Therefore, once again the Bill is sublime in purpose, but ridiculous in practice.
One must also take into consideration that the culture of the internet is mostly based on ridicule and satire that will most likely be offensive to a lot of people. Take, for instance, communities like 9GAG, and even on YouTube there is content ridiculing groups of people – not maliciously, but for an honest laugh. Consider the example of the internet trend of "Vines" (humorous six-second videos) most of which are based on stereotypes, but are quite funny. There is content joking about white, black, Hispanic, Chinese, and Indian culture, and the stereotypes surrounding them, as well as joking about the actions of men versus women. I believe that some might find it offensive, but a majority will take it for what it is: a joke. But this Bill can potentially make the making, or even the sharing of such content, criminal.
Truth is not a defence in the Bill, and, as this crime is not a common law offence, those remedies don't apply. One must keep in mind that "intent" in criminal law also manifests in a form called dolus eventualis, meaning that if you foresee the possibility that your remark will insult and cause contempt, and you accept it, you will have the intent. Yes, you have criminal defences at your disposal, like provocation (which is not an easy defence), necessity, private defence, etc., but you have to stand in court and hire a lawyer to defend yourself for something you said.
Therefore, one of the crucial issues with the Bill is that it proposes no limit on criminal liability such as truth, public interest, fair comment, or jest. What then happens to satire if you are not allowed to make jokes? What if the insulting fact is absolutely true? It is in this sense that this Bill poses a great threat to freedom of speech in South Africa.
One cannot help but to compare our possible future with that of the United States, where their First Amendment provides for almost-unchecked freedom of speech. The underlying philosophy of the United States is that you should be free to speak you mind, and if it offends someone, they are just as free to retaliate with their free speech, and the most convincing argument will be accepted. Why is a different approach needed in South Africa?
Insulting or ridiculing someone, even on the basis of the abovementioned grounds, is a very different thing from promoting hate and violence. Treating these instances as the same thing, and punishing them in the same manner, seems to me that the punishment does not fit the crime. What I also find troubling is that for insulting and ridiculing someone (as opposed to promoting violence and hate), you will be met with the full weight of the criminal justice system in a similar manner as when promoting hate and violence, and this is very unfair for the lone individual against the machinery of the State.
I have no doubt that the constitutional validity of this Bill will be challenged almost as soon as it takes effect, but that entails someone paying inevitably-exuberant legal fees to defend himself. If we cannot speak our mind, at least about the wrongs in our society, even if it insults and brings into contempt some class of people, how can we remain an open democratic society?

hate speech bill
Thank you for your summation of the proposed new Bill. Your every word seems to call for what one wishes could be described as common sense. As you point out, so many clauses in this proposed Bill cast such a wide net that they threaten fundamental, legitimate forms of freedom of expression which have nothing to do with hate speech or incitement. In fact, clauses in this Bill undermine the very foundation of democracy.
In tandem with Government's threat, a retrograde species of 'newthink' (if one may coin a new phrase) seems also to have gained currency among a vocal number of students (if they can be so described) with the intention to oust what are denigrated as exclusively Western tenets and laws and replace them selectively with some group-serving Afrocentric alternatives that are being broadcast by mob rulers of the student riots.
In terms of the proposed new legislation, it would be a criminal offense to describe groups such as the rioting mobs us thugs or barbarians, even though those words accurately describe the mentality and actions of such groups. The arguments against such appellations come easily to the other side who, using unwritten Afrocentric diktat, have it that their actions are not unacceptable or abnormal but progressive.
By way of example, an ANC Cabinet Minister has recently legitimised freedom of violent action by declaring that student 'protesters' are 'not crazy' and that their demands need to be acceded to in order to prevent the continued burning of buildings and buses. It is difficult to correlate this government tolerance of violent and destructive anti-social public behaviour with the proposed new restrictions on freedom of speech which would prohibit criticism that might be taken to advocate hatred or bring into disrepute the said group, because it is the behaviour of the group, not the criticism of it, that is bringing the group into disrepute or eliciting public hatred of it.
It has been generally accepted in Western society that it is wrong to condemn characteristics of people that they cannot change, such as age, skin colour or sexual orientation, but that choices, such as rioting, fomenting race hatred, corruption and general criminal behaviour, should necessarily be open to the most stringent condemnation. People choose to be members of rioting groups, political parties or religious organisations, and if those groups are considered by an individual to be harming our society, the individual should be free to exercise the right to criticise and condemn them and their deleterious actions.
The proposed new Bill clearly prohibits this kind of legitimate criticism which is the cornerstone of democratic civil liberty which cannot survive the exclusion of freedom of expression.

Basically for reasons of long term societal health it is essential that every possible channel along which criticism can flow is kept open. The ideal situation therefore is that the flows along these channels should be completely unrestricted. This world is not populated exclusively by people with good intentions however and for that reason society is compelled to introduce restrictions into the channels in order to try to curb their abuse. Therefore in introducing any restriction the underlying societal feeling should be of regret that such a restriction should be necessary. This bill does not seem to be emanating from such a space.

Of course, most of the bill is legal nonsense and will not survive in court. But the real dangers lies in the fact, that a 'domination of suspicion" is created – as in all totalitarian systems – in which people can be intimidated by the threat of persecution. Look, i am an old battle horse and don't give a damn but that about the average people who fear to be dragged into court …….

What is most disturbing is that at the core this kind of legislation seems to try and manipulate our thought processes and opinions.
While I agree that hate and discrimination are wrong, I will fight for the right of others to do so if they find solace in such an act and at the same time ridiculing them for doing so.
In another 10 days I will be standing trail for ridiculing a law firm on fb for ripping off one of their clients.
I know that my comments was justified by the law firms callous disregard for their clients needs but with legislation like this the tables could be turned completely against me.
What happens to our right to express an opinion? The South African law seems to completely disregard the fact that an opinion inherently can't be falsified. It also seems to draw a clear parallel between statements published in the media vs opinions left on social media.Surely the fact that what people read in the news carry a vastly different weight than what someone might have expressed on his fb timeline or Twitter in the heat of the moment with no mechanism of filtering or reviewing such statement before pressing the enter button except your own common sense.
Further more the punitive measures enforced by our current colonial legal system will do nothing but divide even more and build more hate and resentment.
On the other hand as part of a restorative process such laws can be used to restore relationships and help heal indifference amongst different groups. This could be a totally different matter all together.

The reason why South Africa cannot take the example from America's 1st amendment is because we are a Godless society.
The American Bill of Rights states that people are imbued with inalienable rights by their creator.
The ANC (communists) believe that people are imbued with rights by the government.
This is a great comment! I blame FW for not negotiating a first amendment more than I blame him for anything else.
There is no such thing is "hate speech". Limiting the first amendment can never be done "with good intentions". To those who support this; be careful there is a saying "jy maak 'n lat vir jou eie gat".
Why? Because people like Johan think that "hate speech" is a real thing.
The goal of this legislature is IMMORAL and NOT LEGALLY SOUND.
The answer to 1984 is 1776. Careful Johan, the Alt Right is changing the world, they have already taken over large swaths of the internet.

Q: Github: new PR includes commits earlier than fork I'm only learning Github. I have a question about the web interface, and would prefer answers for the web interface, if they are possible.
I forked a repo that I want to contribute to. I create a new branch on my fork, make a couple of commits, and now I'm trying to create the PR on the original repo. This is what it looks like:

My selection of the base and head branches is made following the guidelines for this particular project. I'm supposed to put bugfixes in the hotfix branch.
Now, since my fork was made only on the beginning of October, what I don't understand are those 4 commits made by someone else, not me, on earlier dates. I only did the 2 commits on Oct 10. I expected anything previous to be exactly the same as on the original.
My questions:

*

*What is going on? Why are those earlier commits showing there in the compare?

*How can I remove them, or how should I create a PR with only my own commits?
I've had this problem before and it caused my PR not to be accepted, so I really need to understand this and correct it.

A: I found the answer to my own question: the problem was at the moment of the creation of the branch on which I made my commits.
I inadvertently created my new branch from the Master branch, and I should have created it from the Hotfix branch, because that's the branch to which I'm going to do the PR on the original repo.
So those extra commits showing there are the difference between the master and the hotfix branch.
On the web interface, to control from which branch a new branch is created, simply:

*

*In the Code tab, change to the branch from which to want to create a new branch

*On the same dropdown, start typing a new branch name and Github will offer to create a sub-branch from there.

It's not every day that the PS Vita gets a game from a major AAA franchise. What could be called a game from a hit franchise was Hitman Go from awhile back, but Hitman isn't really as big as a lot of other franchises. But, we are talking about games like Assassin's Creed III: Liberation, Final Fantasy X HD Remaster, Killzone: Mercenary, Resident Evil Revelations 2, and so on and so forth. It happens, but not very often anymore.
Assassin's Creed hit the Vita first with Liberation, which while entertaining, was riddled with bugs and glitches, not an uncommon trait with an Assassin's Creed game. Aside from that, Vita owners could also play Assassin's Creed: Bloodlines, a PSP mashup of the gameplay of the first two entries as well as a story taking place between the first two games. However, PlayStation TV owners only have the convenience of Bloodlines, as Liberation was never made compatible with the micro-console.
Both the PlayStation Vita and PlayStation TV have gotten a new game, or set of games, in the recent weeks for the franchise. The recent "Assassin's Creed Chronicles" trilogy has come to the handheld world, and it's my job to fill you in on how this goes. Combining the China, India, and Russia chapters, here is my official review of Assassin's Creed: Chronicles!
The story of Chronicles takes place over three different time periods, because this is actually a collection of three different games. On the main consoles, PS4 and Xbox One, these were separately released early this year. Yet, they're bundled together on the Vita. So, to explain the story, we need to explain the story of each individual chapter.
Assassin's Creed Chronicles: China marks the exploits of Assassin Shao Jun, an Assassin during the 1500s, the time of Khan and the Mongolian assault on the Great Wall of China. A Chinese sect of Templars known as the Tigers recently ambushed and wiped out almost all of the Chinese Brotherhood of Assassins and Shao allows herself to be captured, having a mystic box given to her by Ezio Auditore as the bait, starting a campaign for the Templars' quest for this box and Shao's quest to avenge her fallen brothers and sisters.
Assassin's Creed Chronicles: India takes place some 300 years later, during the Sino-Sikh wars. Arbaaz Mir, an Assassin whom has fallen in love with the princess of the Sikh Empire. After a meeting with her, he is sent on a journey after a sect of Templars in India and later Afghanistan that ambush his mentor and covet a mystic jewel they were carrying, supposedly connecting it with a strange box at a nearby temple.
Assassin's Creed Chronicles: Russia is one of the most recent AC games to date, taking place in 1918, not long after the end of the Russia Revolution. An older Assassin named Nikolai Orelov, about to retrieve legal papers to leave the country for America, is sent by the Brotherhood to retrieve a box at the Tsar's home, rumored to be the same box that Ezio Auditore had given Shao Jun almost 400 years prior. Once there, he finds a plot by the Templars not only to covet the box, but also to murder the Tsar's family, including whom would one day become the famed Grand Duchess Anastasia Romanov. This tale follows Nikolai and Anastasia as they make enemies of not only the Templars, but another group as well on their trip out of Russia.
The storylines of these games each tell a specific, standalone tale, but the box Ezio gives to Shao Jun in China is the central point that melds them all together. It appears in all three scenarios and the Chronicles Trilogy essentially shows you where the box and its corresponding artifacts goes all the way from China in the 1500s to present day in a secret epilogue.
Unlike most games of the series, Chronicles leaves the realm of 3D open-world and takes the action-stealth gameplay into the 2.5D world. Chronicles is a 2.5D side-scrolling action-stealth platformer, donning gameplay similar to LittleBigPlanet but with the Assassin's Creed formula thrown in instead of Sackboy's typical types of journeys. You will still be performing assassinations, fighting enemies, taking leaps of faith into bails of hay, and everything else the series is known for, but in a new perspective.
Progression in the game goes in the form of choosing an "Episode" in the form of one of the three games and then going through each story mission until you reach the end. This is like a mission-based game, though completing one mission automatically spawns a story scene and pushes you towards the next. It gives you a feel that it's an ongoing game, even though it is technically mission-based.
Each mission has you in very large 2.5D environments with multiple planes connected by ropeways and bridges, tasking you with various objectives, the objective depending on what mission you're on. Some missions have you sneaking past security to assassinate a certain leader, while other missions have you navigating an area in order to reach a boat to escape or a simple reconnaissance mission of stalking someone to find out what they're up to. Although you still navigate environments and work on getting past patrols, what you're doing can greatly vary.
The stealth elements come in the form of sneaking past guards and patrols. Each area has guards stationed as well as hiding spots where you can conceal yourself. These hiding spots could be closets, dark corridors, or bushes/trees. While in these areas, you cannot be seen (though moving within bushes causes noise that allows patrols to find you regardless) and this is where you look and study patrol movements and patterns to figure out how to get past them.
In some cases, it's just a matter of waiting for them to walk by, popping out of the hiding spot, and dashing for a window or ladder to go on. As you play the games further, though, it gets very intricate. Some areas will require you to use specific gadgets to get past, or gadgets and very specific timing. Sneaking past enemies is one of the most difficult tasks in the game, though using the Eagle Vision feature that lets you see which guards are targets and which aren't makes things much easier.
Speaking of stealth, let's talk about grades. At the end of a mission, you are graded by what you did. The game typically wants you to always do stealth and never be seen and never kill anyone other than your target. If you can accomplish this, you will get a high score, which leads to requirements for upgrades, like more gadget ammo, health, faster running or crouch-based movement, etc. That's the typical scenario, though you don't have to play like that.
I view the game having two types of ways to play it. You can do 100% stealth with intricate movements and very careful progression to make sure you're never seen so you can get those upgrades. Or, you can do what I feel is the more fun route. Sneak past guards that are simple to sneak past, but also throw in some hanging assassinations and combat to get your blood pumping. There is a combat system there for a reason other than the few boss fights. The only way the game will punish you is by not giving you as many points towards upgrades that you don't necessarily need to complete the game, anyways.
Let's get to combat. To assassinate someone, you have to sneak behind them or hang from a ledge below them and perform the action while they're not looking. Raise the alert, and you enter combat mode, where there is no 1-hit-kill-assassination. Then, it's you versus them, or a group of them. The game has a simple way to dodge attacks with the circle button, but things get difficult if you get surrounded. The ideal situation is to have all enemies to one side of you because if they're on both, not only are you waiting for combat openings, but you're blocking attacks from both sides.
I say to do combat often as well because some missions don't give you that option. There are some levels that are pure stealth from getting captured or being in a hostage situation where you aren't allowed to be spotted or knock anyone out at all.
Now, let's talk about the simplicity of the games, which is something I know other publications have been harsh on. The basic progression of the game is simple, but simple doesn't mean that game is easy. On the contrary, there are a lot of sections in the game that have nothing to do with combat at all that is very, very hard to accomplish. Some stages in India have very intricate platforming to be done in limited amounts of time that only give you a few seconds of leeway time before you automatically fail, and that only gets harder once you get to Russia.
To go further, there are two types of areas that really get your adrenaline going, which are the Escape Levels and Sniper Battles. These are fast-paced levels where killing guards doesn't affect your score and you are racing against the clock, going as fast as you possibly can. These can be from running out of a village the Templars are burning down, escaping a crumbling temple, or being chased across town by a giant tank. These are all very intense, difficult, and helps balance the game between strategic stealth and blood-pumping sprinting.
Sniper Battles aren't entire levels, but sections of levels. In these, you are armed with a Sniper Rifle, go into a first-person scope view and must shoot off enemies as quickly as possible before they shoot you off. These can really get your blood pumping, as in some sequences, you literally have to snipe all other snipers before they get a single shot in.
As far as time is concerned, here is what I came out with. China took me almost 4 hours to complete and both India and Russia took me about 3 hours a piece. That would leave the entire trilogy using up about 10 hours of your time. You also unlock New Game Plus and New Game Plus Hard Modes whenever you complete one, giving you upgraded points and exclusive upgrades, while Plus Hard gives you far less health and takes the ability to see where the enemies are looking. It's got a lot to keep you busy.
Controls are really intuitive and Ubisoft uses the PlayStation TV Compatibility very well. Not only is the game compatible, but the two different types of features that use the touch screen on the Vita are redirected to the L3 and R3 buttons when the game is played on the PSTV. To be specific, Eagle Vision is toggled with L3 and Grappling to a ceiling is toggled with R3.
Moving around is done with the Left Analog Stick and you can move the field of view with the Right Analog Stick. The D-Pad buttons are used for activating various gadgets, like Shao Jun's rope or Nikolai's Sniper Rifle. The L trigger is used for crouching and crawling, and the R trigger is used for firing off a gadget once you have your aim correct. Finally, the face buttons. X is used for jumping, and Circle pick-pocketing or looting bodies. Triangle is used for heavy attacks or various stealth energy skills like stealth kills and Square is used for normal attacks and assassinations.
I have no problem with the controls, nor do I have issues with how they're explained. Everything is shown and told to you throughout the entire game, so you'll never forget what to do.
The visual presentation was something that was very difficult to gauge. Since the camera is so far away from you all the time, I had to get an enemy on a plane directly in front of the camera to really see what the graphics looked like. Up-close, the graphics look more on the low-end of the Vita, but I honestly do not see that as an issue. When you're zoomed out of character models, as you will be for 99% of the game, it looks really nice, even on the PSTV. Everything is colorful, especially the artistic backgrounds in Russia.
So, the big question. How does it perform? Assassin's Creed games are known for being buggy and glitch, and this is definitely some of the nicest work Ubisoft has done on the series as of late. Yes, there are bugs. Two that I noticed. The first is that some of the scenes in China and India will have audio breaks, like they're coming in with static for a second or two. This happened with at least 3 different scenes.
The other is featured in this section's screenshot. After a sequence in India, I saw that my character's model was stretching itself, the front half moving while the rear half not moving at all as I platformed and played a constant game of "Catch Up" with it. It did not hamper my ability to play the game but it was quite bizarre to see. Once I had reset the checkpoint, it went away.
As far as frame-rate goes, it does very well. I only saw the frames drop once, for a second or two, and it didn't affect gameplay at all. Ubisoft did an excellent job at this game on the Vita.
I keep reading reviews about this game, but I needed yours on this one to get to the final conclusion: it may be great to play because of the Assassin's Creed formula, but because it's still a 2.5D – and therefore, a very limited game – the replayability of AC: Chronicles is what actually kills it and is a deal breaker for some.
Also, I believe this game is like CounterSpy, but done right: Instead of going with the buggy, badly supported, battery-eater, long loadings generator Unity and developed by sony's affiliates, it actually uses a well-balanced engine and is developed by Ubisoft, so it's all good (even though the framerate noticeably goes down in some areas, according to other reviews).
Still, as a Vita gamer who enjoys this kind of game on the go, I wish this game had blessed the Vita before AC III Liberations, just so we could be given Hope for our favorite handheld. But after sony's last move which indicates the end of the Vita is coming, I guess it wouldn't matter.
Great review, keep up the great work!

From Friends to More! Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker's Relationship Timeline
Sometimes the best romances start off as friendships! While Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker's new relationship may come as a surprise to many, the pair have known each other for years.
After Barker spent time with Kardashian at her mom Kris Jenner's Palm Springs, California, home in January 2021, Us Weekly confirmed that the pair were dating. "Kourtney and Travis are officially a couple," the insider told Us. "They have been close friends for years and have been dating for a couple months. Travis is very smitten with Kourtney and has been for a while."
Shortly before the dating news broke, the Blink-182 drummer left multiple flirty comments on the Poosh founder's Instagram posts. As she shared a steamy selfie from her closet, Barker commented with a rose emoji. He dropped a mermaid emoji beneath a pic of her walking into the ocean. He also wrote, "You're So Cool," after she shared screenshots of the 1993 film True Romance. (The rocker has previously stated that True Romance is his favorite movie, and he even named his daughter after Patricia Arquette's character, Alabama.)
Kardashian and Barker's bond goes way back. The duo, who live in the same Calabasas, California, gated community, have been spotted out together on numerous occasions including in 2018 when they grabbed dinner and later attended evening church service. The musician has made appearances on her family's long-running show, Keeping Up With the Kardashians, alongside his ex-wife Shanna Moakler.
Barker once gushed to Us exclusively about how he was attracted to the mother of three's sister Kim Kardashian when she was still Paris Hilton's assistant. "How could you not stare at Kim? Mind you, I enjoyed hanging out with Paris, but I love curvy girls," he explained in October 2015. "Kim was eye candy. I was no way disrespectful to Paris, but I couldn't keep my eyes off Kim!"
Since the pair both live in Calabasas, they would casually get together sometimes. "We would go out to eat, just hang out," he said, noting that he "had a crush on her and we were flirtatious, but nothing ever happened."
The former Dash owner shares children Mason, Penelope and Reign with ex Scott Disick. The pair forged a friendship after ending their rocky on-and-off romance in 2015 after nine years. While Disick went on to date Sofia Richie for nearly three years before moving on with Amelia Gray Hamlin in late 2020, Kourtney was previously linked to Younes Bendjima and Luka Sabbat.
The Meet the Barkers alum, for his part, was married to Moakler from 2004 to 2008. The exes share daughter Alabama and son Landon. Barker briefly dated Rita Ora in 2015.

JAGGER: (Caldwell Brothers #3)
JAGGER MJ FIELD, CHELSEA CAMARON
Full of swagger and sensuality, the Caldwell Brothers series—perfect for fans of Katy Evans and Emma Chase—packs an emotional punch as the last bachelor standing fights for a woman who's worth every ounce of trouble.
Jagger Caldwell is no one's hero. With a reputation busting heads and breaking hearts on the underground MMA circuit, he lives for easy cash and easier women. But when he stumbles upon an all-too-familiar scene, painful memories awaken Jagger's sensitive side and compel him to act. As a kid, he stood by helplessly as his old man beat his mom. Now, Jagger won't let seventeen-year-old Tatiana Rand suffer the same fate. Nothing matters except saving her.
Tatiana is a prisoner in her own home, at the mercy of her violent father—until an unlikely savior bursts through her door and into her life. Six-feet-plus of tattooed muscle and raw power, Jagger is no prince charming—but Tatiana stopped believing in fairy tales long ago. Despite their differences in age and, well, everything else, the sexy bad boy sparks a fire that Tatiana never knew she had—and desires that only Jagger can quench.
What an amazingly heartwarming story told from the POV of two products of abuse. Tatiana Rand 17, who is currently going through it by the hands of her Russian born and raised father who moved here to the United States. He brought her here when she was a baby. She was led to believe her mother never wanted her. As her father became more disheartened with his own life he took it out on Totty.
Jagger Caldwell an underground MMA fighter rented an apartment next from her slumlord father even though he could afford a better place but his thought was always why pay more money for a place where he was just going to lay his head and use the restroom. It just turned out that the landlord lived next door and most nights he got home so late from a growling workout getting ready for a fight or wasted from partying. Most nights he could drown out what he was doing to his lady next door although he wanted to bust in and do something. He knew it wasn't his fight. On this night he wasn't able to do that. He was in the wrong frame of mind to be hearing a female get knocked around. He knew jail time was more than likely coming but not stepping in was not an option he had to do something.
After several minutes he couldn't do it. He broke in the door. As he did he saw a small figure cowering in the corner of the hallway. Her hair was all matted from blood, her eye is bruised and busted, and so is every place else. When he sees a huge monster of a man ready to swing a belt at her again. All he remembers is his anger going full force.
Jagger lunges at him knocking him to the ground. Then punching repeatedly and seeing his blood spraying. Once he knew he was out he gets up and goes to the young women. Helps her up then sees how young she is. He asks her age she says just turned 17. He gives her his card and says if she ever needs help again to call him at any time that the number is to his family's bar. They will know how to contact him at all times. Then says they need to call the cops. When Totty's dreams of leaving or being rescued are shattered. She knows that since she is a minor they will send her to a home or worse back to Russia because that is what her father has been telling her over and over for years to keep her in line and under his thumb. So she stays taking her chances with the beatings in hopes of making it to her 18th birthday. She sends Jagger away since her dad is waking up.
When he wakes he wants to press charges. You got it on Jagger. They ask Totty about the abuse but she doesn't talk for fear of her father and being sent into the system. There is a restraining order against Jagger and now he doesn't have a place to live. He does but he doesn't. (With Shaw the gym owner that raised him better than his own father.) Which made him become obsessed with Totty's wellbeing. So from afar she has become his favorite pass time. After several months he starts getting small gifts to her via a neighbor.
In his head it was just carrying out the legacy his mother left behind to help those in need especially women who can't take care of themselves when being abused. His mother had died of ovarian cancer and since she had lived through abusive marriage he wanted her boys to be kinder and gentler men to their women. Not knowing that each day was bringing him one day closer to love.
Loved this family saga a lot. The brothers each had their issues but they loved each other but they really loved their women really good. The characters are so down to earth and real. You can feel their pain and their happiness as well. You find yourself at times wanting to cheer and boo! A tough subject done very well and very erotic well it comes to the loving so fans out ladies and gents but it is tasteful. I give this 5++++ stars. Provided by netgalley.com. Follow us at:

A Naming Ceremony For Hendrix. Here's what we did. — Caroline Zwickson, M.A.
Neither Raz or I feel strongly tied to any one religion, but we wanted to have a celebration for both of our boys that anchored them into their name and sent them off into their lives with a strong foundation and positive intention. Names carry powerful energy and we chose their names carefully and for specific reasons afterall.
celebrated in Sweden with Raz's (my husband's) family. Part 2 was celebrated in Germany with my family.
1. We gathered our families in a circle (being in circle is very powerful).
2. We shared why we chose our children's names (Felix Gustav Marlow and Hendrix Rasmus Johan), the meaning of their names and their origin, and what we wish for them in their lives as the carriers of their names.
3. We included each family member by giving them a specific, tailored-to-them question and asking them to write a piece of wisdom they had collected in their life. These pieces of wisdom will be collected and turned into a book that will support them in times of challenge and transition in their lives. *This is my favorite part of the naming ceremony because I learned so much from each member of our families!
4. A water ritual where we dipped each of the boys feet into a body of water. For Hendrix's ceremony, we dipped his feet into the ocean in Sweden and into thermal water from my hometown that comes from more than 1 km underneath the earth.
5. We have a delicious meal together and celebrate our boys amongst loved ones.
In the comments below, let me know: Did you spend a lot of time thinking about your kids' names and their meaning? Did you pick a family name or just a name you liked? Did you do anything to celebrate the name giving?

What would Confucius say about your New Years Resolutions?
Most of us get caught up in the hype and excitement of the New Years celebration. Or maybe every year, that one night is a crappy reminder of a year wasted in a job you hate, of non-fulfilled commitments, laziness or over-indulgence of donuts, because they are so damn delicious.
So on that last night of the year you reflect on achievements or regret for what has passed and you and look forward with the spirit of anticipation for what's ahead and then you do it. You make a resolution. But what to do now? How can you make sure you stick to it?
In an interesting happenstance, the advice of ancient Chinese philosopher Confucius offers you some simple guidance that should be considered when reflecting on one's ambitious and sometimes impulsive resolutions.
It is always that first step that is the hardest. Just take that one small step, and then each subsequent step after that gets easier. And with each of those small steps you will gradually make that change. No one each achieved substantial change overnight (despite the claims of those selling miracle pills). Change only occurs when we step outside of our comfort zone.
It may help to set goals. A common acronym that helps people in setting the right kind of goals is S.M.A.R.T. (Smart. Measurable. Achievable. Realistic. Timeframe).
You need to set up a routine and targets. Perhaps get your diary out and mark exactly what days you will be exercising and the type of exercise. Essentially a 'what, when and where'. If you're not sure how to go about this, seek some advice from your trainer, instructor or coach.
This one is can be really difficult talk about. Now I won't delve into the complex depths of mental health, because I am under no circumstances an expert on such matters. So instead, I will clarify that I am talking about the general and often regular 'downs' or 'funks' that we all experience. Because in reality, we all have peaks and troughs in life. And sadly some people are dealt more challenges and obstacles in life that others.
But we measure an individuals true strength by those obstacles that they overcome. When in a trough of life, it can be hard to see the wood for the trees. So this is the time that one needs to reflect on all of those challenges and obstacles already overcome and recognise the strength (and glory) that already exists. Use that strength rise above your funk. Take it one day at a time, go slow, but claw yourself out of the hole and never stop fighting for yourself. Because your worth it.
One again, this one is pretty self explanatory. We all want a dream job. But let's be clear that every single person has a different idea about what a 'dream job' is. For some it may be having flexible working hours or being able to work from home. For other it may mean being able to travel. Or for others it may mean making lots of money. (And I'm pretty sure there are also many people out there that say not working at all is the best kind of work). Whatever motivation may be for your dream job, that is OKAY; because it's your dream and NOBODY else's. But what is important that if you choose to do something that you love, it will never seem like work at all (See – that last group had it kind of right).
It all sounds pretty easy in theory, I know. But just ask yourself the question – Why not? What is there to lose by following the path that you feel like you are destined to be on, even if it seems impossible. I have known a number of people, myself included, that have changed the path of their life because they knew that the journey would bring so much more. It is certainly never without sacrifice such as financial. But you have to ask yourself – is my happiness and that of my loved ones worth the sacrifice?
This one comes around almost every year for some people. And is then followed by a few weeks of intensive googling and investigation into Fad Diets, followed by 6-8 weeks of starvation. Upon which your bodies metabolism slows down and any perceived results you had in this 6-8 weeks start to reverse itself, you start craving, become depressed and continue the cycle for the rest of the year.
Have you ever noticed the amount of diet and weight loss advertisements that are around at the start of the year. They are specifically targeting those with new years resolutions because that is where they make money. I've said it before and I'll say it again. Good health, nutrition and fitness is a year 'round lifelong thing – coupled with everything in moderation. It's important not to deprive yourself of life's pleasures.
Confucius suggests very aptly that if you wish change your future and the way you do things, that you look at how you have done them in the past. If your 'diets' have failed in the past, look at why. Were you body goals unrealistic for your body type, did you starve yourself of important nutrients because a particular diet suggested it was bad? Or were you just lazy. Let's put the excuses aside and have a look at the real reason you didn't eat healthy. Then and only then can you look forward.

The Lincoln House is a historic house on Maine State Route 86 in Dennysville, Maine.  Built in 1787, it is the community's oldest standing structure, built during the earliest period of its settlement for Theodore Lincoln, the son of proprietor Benjamin Lincoln who oversaw the area's settlement.  The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.

Description and history
The Lincoln House is located on the northwest side of Maine state Route 86, overlooking the Dennys River at the northern fringe of the town's dispersed village center.  It is a -story wood-frame structure, five bays wide, with a side-gable roof, central chimney, clapboard siding, and fieldstone foundation.  The central entrance is simply framed, with a triangular pediment above.  First-floor windows are topped by small entablatured lintels, while the second-floor windows have plain lintels butted against the cornice.  A period ell extends north from the rear of the building, joining the house to a larger single-story 20th-century ell.

The area that is now Dennysville was part of a grant of 10,000 acres granted to a group of Massachusetts proprietors led by American Revolutionary War general Benjamin Lincoln.  In 1786 Lincoln sent his son Theodore and a group of settlers to the region, and this house was built for the younger Lincoln the following year.  It was built by Hingham, Massachusetts builder Joshua Chubbuck, and was the first frame house built in what is now Dennysville.  Notable visitors to the house include John James Audubon, whose wife stayed with the Lincolns in 1833 while he went to Labrador.  A later resident was Anna Maxwell Brown, an opera singer for the D'Oyly Carte Opera Company, who married into the Lincoln family.

Living in Toronto, Canada is about as far away as one could be on so many levels to the vibe, sights and weather of San Francisco, California.
San Francisco is a city I love, and have been fortunate to photograph there often. It is a small city, really, with physical limitation that keep it to a wonderfully walkable size. It is also a world-class city, one with a definite personality, a rich & passionate history and of course, everywhere you look is a postcard for the eye.
So when I was asked to photograph a wedding at The Presidio, on a lawn looking over San Francisco Bay and the Golden Gate Bridge, I jumped at the opportunity! I leave in a month but am already packing in my mind, choosing my gear – carefully – and assembling my San Fran music playlist!
Stay tuned for images from this wedding in paradise!

Q: Printing query in HTML table I'm just wondering if anyone would be able to help me with a problem I've been having. I'm trying to print data from a mysql query into an html table. I'm using a nested for loop and I'm very nearly there. I just can't seem to work out how to print more than one line of results. The code I have at the minute is:
$query = "select TeacherName, Age, Subject from Teacher WHERE schoolcode =" . $schoolcode; // Specifying the query and using the variable school code from the frontend HTML form to make it reusable

$result = mysqli_query($con, $query) or die("Invalid query"); //Running the query and storing it in result
$numrows = mysqli_num_rows($result);  // gets number of rows in result table
$numcols = mysqli_num_fields($result);   // gets number of columns in result table
$field = mysqli_fetch_fields($result); // gets the column names from the result table
$row = mysqli_fetch_array($result);

print "

";
for($x=0;$x<$numcols;$x++){
print "" . $field[$x]->name . "	";
}
print "
";

for($j=0; $j<$numrows; $j++) {   // for loop goes round until there are no rows left
 print "
";
     for ($k=0; $k<$numcols; $k++) {    //  goes around until there are no columns left
        print "" . $row[$k] . "	"; //Prints the data
  }
   print "
";
}

print "
";

mysqli_close($con);
 ?>

The code very nearly works and does print out the html table with correct results. The problem is that it prints out one row of results, then repeats this same row of results on the next row, rather than printing the next row of results which I want. Can anyone help me with this problem?
Many Thanks

A: Try this.
while ($row = mysqli_fetch_array($result)) {
  echo '
';
  for ($k=0; $k<$numcols; $k++) {    //  goes around until there are no columns left
        print "" . $row[$k] . "	"; //Prints the data
  }
  echo '
';
}

A: you can do this

Teacher Name

 <?php
 while($row = mysqli_fetch_assoc($result))
{
   ?>

<?=$row['TeacherName']?>

  <?php
}
 ?>

much cleaner code and much easy way to do it

A: Simply try this it will work :
      $query = "select TeacherName, Age, Subject from Teacher WHERE schoolcode =" . $schoolcode;
        $result = mysqli_query($con, $query) or die("Invalid query");
    $row = mysqli_fetch_array($result);

    Teacher Name
Age
Subject

     <?php
     do
    {
       ?>

    <?php echo $row['TeacherName']; ?>
    <?php echo $row['Age']; ?>
    <?php echo $row['Subject']; ?>

      <?php
    }while($row = mysqli_fetch_array($result));
     ?>
