Unravel Two New Tab for Google Chrome
ISO February 27, 2019 April 7, 2019 No Comments on Unravel Two New Tab for Google Chrome
Platform-type games that can be seen in any period of time have decreased in recent times, but they have recovered again. Especially in recent years, we started to encounter very nice platform games. Unravel, one of these games, managed to be established in a corner of our hearts with different characters and storytelling. Unravel Two, which was announced at E3 2018 and immediately after the players, followed the first game with a very different gameplay dynamics.
The most significant development of Unravel 2 is undoubtedly based on co-op gameplay dynamics. In the first game, Yarny, who continues on his way by collecting the ball, starts the play freely. We see Yarny being dragged into a shore when the game's first cinematography breaks down. Here, he meets a new character of the game and gives some kind of freedom to his hands. In the first game, the thread he is always attached to integrates with the new character he encounters this time. In other words, although we have been free for the first game, we have to deliver the end of the thread to the other character.
Of course, the dynamics of gameplay is shaped according to this situation. If you want the game alone, you can play with a friend if you want. Moreover, while a player is playing with the controller, the other player can continue with his keyboard in his adventure. The most important element of gameplay dynamics is that the two characters act in common. So, especially in the following sections, both fast and acting on the way of the other player you need to continue your way. For example, a player is standing above the other player while the other player hangs down and tries to swing towards the other platform. Or one of you holding a small platform, the other can reach the point where you need to go on this platform. Of course, these points in the other player by pulling up to continue on your way. Here you are trying to solve the platform-based puzzles you encounter with similar binary variations throughout the game.
Of course you can play Unravel Two alone. When you play alone, you press a key to switch between characters and try to cross puzzles and platform elements this way. Moreover, when you play it alone, the other character you give up control is what you need to do last. In other words, when two players are playing, the player holds the rope with the help of a key and when he switches to artificial intelligence, he does this automatically. In the meantime, both in co-op mode and when you play alone, you can perform a special operation that combines two characters. In this way, it is also possible to move the parts of the platform with bounce focus more easily.
Unravel Two has a superficial story as in the first game. As you go through the platform elements, you are also witnessing a series of stories moving in the background. The story presentation is similar to the one in the first game, and you're learning what's going on at the end of the game.
I can say that the fairy tale of the first game was a bit lost with Unravel Two. Both the depth and the structure of the character were more emphasized in the first game. In the continuation game, this process was left a bit superficial. Therefore, you are starting to get bored soon after the platform elements. The biggest reason for this is the co-op progress in the game. Especially when you play on your own, sometimes you do the same things over and over again. The biggest factor in this superficial development is that you have already seen the depth and the different atmosphere in the first game. Therefore, you cannot get the effect of the first game naturally when you open the continue game. For example, Yarny, who portrays a wonderfully adorable character in the first game, turns into an ordinary character with the addition of his friend. Since there is no extra or research item in the work, the game soon begins to deviate from its aim and become ordinary.
The puzzle structure of the game is built on the element of physics as it was in the first game except for binary progress and moving together and it is not very compelling. In the following chapters, the puzzle dose increases a little, but you don't have to stop and think for minutes.
Unravel Two went back a few steps in terms of gameplay, but lost both its visual and music quality. You can feel the fact that Yarny is a teeny character in a huge world, almost every moment of the game. As in the first game, they managed to give their share of the depth very well. I also don't want to say that the design of the first game is more successful.
As a result, Unravel Two is a successful platform game that you can play as co-op. When we look at the general outline, we can see that the first game doesn't bring too much innovation, but in some respects it is left behind and ordinary. If you like the first game you can enjoy and finish in a short time Unravel Two, a different and simple platform game can please the seekers.

About Us | On The Spectrum. Living with Autism.
I am a mother, wife, friend, daughter, sister, cousin, organiser, cleaner, educator, business owner and part time slave (or so my children seem to think). I also have Asperger's Syndrome and ADHD. I am a Texas girl, living in a British world and have been for 19 years.
I was diagnosed late in life (age 37); in fact I got my official documents not 7 days before our youngest son, who is 6 years old, got his official multi-disciplinary diagnosis for having Autism, who is also mid-assessment(as of Nov 2015) for Tourette's Syndrome and ADHD. This was then followed by my husband, getting an Autism (AS) 9 months later and our eldest son, who is 10, 4 months later, who already had an existing Tourette's Syndrome diagnosis. So, to say we live and breathe Autism in our home is a bit of an understatement.
I am also the main person in charge of our Home Education plan for our boys as we have chosen to remove them from main stream education due to failure of the education system here in the UK. I also run our business from home along with all the other duties of running a workable household.
Our lives are busy, exciting, exhausting, which is full of discovery, adjustments, compromise, love and experiences. I hope that by raising awareness and more importantly acceptance that we will show others all that we can achieve. Our hope is to show that our Autism doesn't limit us; it only means we have to discover and make a different and new path than your average Joe. It means we can have a life full of love, laughter, meaningful relationships and learning, being part of the community and society that includes us and not excludes us. We want people to see the beauty in our differences rather than crush our dreams with prejudices. We all deserve a chance to live the life we want to lead.
I am a dad, husband, son… Ok, I will not be lazy and surreptitiously plagiarise Jennifer's post above. My story is similar but the detail is a little more complex.
I was also diagnosed with all my issues in the last few years. Despite this, from the age of only 3 years old, I was aware of certain things that I did that were not quite "normal". I always had the feeling that something was not quite right. The list of my diagnosed conditions are numerous as you will see below.
Tourettes Syndrome (Symptoms started at the age of 3).
Aspergers Syndrome (ASD / Autism).
Bipolar (Massive highs / mania, which are amazing, followed by acute depression which can last for months).
ADHD (Yes, it does exist, believe me!).
ODD (Oppositional Defiant disorder. Who likes to be told what to do?).
CD (Conduct Disorder, see ODD above).
OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder which consumes everything I do).
This website is all about awareness and acceptance regarding Autism and for us to share our life experiences, struggles, coping strategies, our creativity, talents and most importantly, reaching out to people affected by similar disorders. We do not have a "disease", there is no cure despite what you may have read. We celebrate being different and are thankful for seeing life from a different perspective and being in our own little perfect world full of detail, logic and in my case, thousands of useless facts. On the plus side, I can fix any electrical appliance that breaks down in our house. Just because we are different, some may say "better", doesn't mean that we are limited in our abilities. We all have ambitions in life and there is nothing in this world to stop us reaching and even exceeding them.
For me, writing about this is very therapeutic. For the first time in my life I am opening up about my life and how my conditions affect me, both good and bad. At present, only a few people know about my issues but going public and writing about my life feels liberating.
We hope you all enjoy reading our posts and listening to our Podcasts as much as we enjoy producing them.

So what is workplace wellness, and where to begin?
Workplace wellness is essentially any workplace health promotion activity or organizational practice or policy designed to support healthy behavior in your workplace. It can range from simply allowing time for exercise or providing on-site kitchen and eating areas and healthy food options to health education, on-site medical screenings or weight management programs.
The concept of workplace wellness may seem overwhelming and costly, but it doesn't need to be! This site is designed as a starting point to support Alberta employers who are ready to take steps toward promoting workplace wellness. Whether you want to start small or go big, we hope you'll find this site to be a useful—and practical–resource.
Please check back often, as we will be updating this site on a regular basis. We also welcome you to e-mail your comments and suggestions.
Why a workplace wellness web site?
This web site is intended as a one-stop shop for any Alberta employer with an interest in workplace wellness. Whether you have three employees or thousands, we hope you'll find useful ideas that you can put into practice in your workplace.
The concept for this site arose during planning for the Best Practices in Workplace Wellness seminar held in September 2013 in conjunction with the Alberta International Symposium on Wellness sponsored by Alberta Health and Alberta Blue Cross.

5 ISIL terrorists including leaders killed south of Fallujah
An army force repelled an attack launched yesterday by terrorists belonging to the so called the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant on military units north of the city of Fallujah in Anbar province.
A security source exclusively told PUKmedia that ISIL terrorist groups launched an attack on the security forces stationed in the area south of al- Maarez area in the city of Fallujah, but the security forces repelled and defeated the attack and killed five terrorists and destroyed two cars carrying weapon.
The source added that a senior terrorist Abu Sara al-Obeidi was killed during the clashes.


Theories explaining what occur during hypnosis fall into two groups. Altered state theories see hypnosis as an altered state of mind or trance, marked by a level of awareness different from the ordinary state of consciousness. In contrast, non-state theories see hypnosis as, variously, a type of placebo effect, a redefinition of an interaction with a therapist or form of imaginative role of enactment.
During hypnosis, a person is said to have heightened focus and concentration. Hypnotised subjects are said to show an increased response to suggestions. Hypnosis usually begins with a hypnotic induction involving a series of preliminary instructions and suggestion. The use of hypnotism for therapeutic purposes is referred to as "hypnotherapy", while its use as a form of entertainment for an audience is known as "stage hypnosis". Stage hypnosis is often performed by mentalists practicing the art form of mentalism.


EUR/JPY keeps trading on a positive note on Wednesday, extending the rally beyond 131.00 the figure and at the same time re-taking the key 200-day SMA.
The continuation of the bull run should allow for a test of July's top just beyond the 132.00 milestone ahead of April's high in the mid-133.00s.
In addition, the cross remains constructive as long as the short-term support line, today at 129.03, holds.

Premier League stars unite to kick out homophobia - and here's how to help
Mata appears in the video calling for an end to homophobic abuse at football matchesCarl Recine/Reuters
While the FA chairman Greg Clarke was busy signing a memorandum of understanding with Qatar, the campaign group Kick It Out has done something altogether far more positive in the fight against homophobia in football.
After years of footballers resisting speaking out on the subject, a video released today, has some of the biggest names in the game – and crucially someone from every Premier League club – denouncing homophobic language and abuse.
Eden Hazard, Vincent Kompany, Jan Vertonghan and Juan Mata are among those who appear in the film, which crucially focuses on abuse and behaviour rather than the endless witch hunt to out players.
The film aims to encourage supporters to report any homophobic, biphobic or transphobic abuse they see or suffer at…

For a gay Syrian refugee living in Hamilton, Ont., disconnect and loneliness bring new challenges
August 28, 2016 · by Admin 2	· in Canada.	·
On Aug 26, 2016 The Globe and Mail reported: As he sits cross-legged on his apartme
"You can see how it's a very big [LGBTQ] community. Many, many people," he says, smiling. "It's beautiful. Here, we don't have [that]."
Canada offers Julian a reprieve from a life of beatings, taunts and arrests. But as a gay Syrian in Hamilton, he faces a new host of problems, namely cultural disconnect and loneliness. Canada's refugee efforts have largely focused on families with children; single people and, in Julian's case, families of two, make up less than 15 per cent of the 1,000 Syrian refugees resettled to Hamilton this year. Single LGBTQ refugees such as Julian are an anomaly, and smaller cities in Canada lack the resources to support them.
"Hamilton is not Toronto," admits Justin Taylor, the executive director of Rainbow Railroad, a Toronto-based organization that works with four settlement teams who privately sponsor LGBTQ refugees. The needs of LGBTQ refugees differ, particularly with housing and health care, he says. Socializing is equally important. Taylor's initiatives include regular potlucks with refugees and hosting LGBTQ sports teams.
Julian attends the Toronto Pride parade on July 3, 2016. He tries to visit Toronto every month and wants to move there.
Julian (which isn't his real name, but the one he plans to legally assume in Canada for his safety) has visited the two gay bars in Hamilton, his home for the past eight months. On those visits, he met only a handful of LGBTQ people and was disheartened by the cultural change.
Julian was equally dismayed when his settlement worker admitted to knowing little about local LGTBQ resources. Wesley Urban Ministries, the lead agency supporting Julian and other government-assisted refugees in Hamilton, says on its website that it works with each client to understand "the specific challenges they face."
But Julian says the agency is ill equipped to help LGBTQ refugees. It took more than six months to connect him with an LGBTQ couple in the city, he says.
When he asked for another settlement worker, Julian was turned down given the influx of refugees.
Wesley declined to comment on Julian's case, citing privacy reasons, but said it takes inclusiveness "very seriously" and plans to "improve our processes in the future."
"That being said, we have been extremely busy dealing with our Syrian refugees and are disappointed that in this case we did not meet the individual's needs," spokeswoman Andrea Buttars wrote in an e-mail. Shortly afterwards, Wesley reached out to Julian with a program that offers friends for newcomers.
nt floor, Julian plays a video on his phone of a group of gay men at an underground party in Damascus. The men are clad in colourful outfits and dance to blaring Arabic music. Julian lost most of his belongings in the Syrian civil war and uses this old clip from a friend as a memory of home.

For a long time, it hardly seemed worth putting money in the bank. With the country mired in a deep recession a decade ago, the Federal Reserve slashed interest rates to near zero in an attempt to "stimulate" the economy. In recent years — amid jobs growth, healthy corporate earnings, and surging stock markets — the Fed has incrementally raised rates for borrowing. Consumer savings rates, however, have remained stubbornly low.
That's starting to change. Risk-averse people who have the means to sock away some cash are now able to earn a decent — if not exactly generous — guaranteed return from bank savings, money market, and CD accounts. Some banks and credit unions are aggressively competing for their business with a flurry of promotional rates that can be as confusing as they are enticing. How much money you'll make can vary widely, depending on where you put it.
But after years of savings interest rates scraping along the bottom at just tenths of a percent, many of these new offers are by comparison quite attractive — as long as savers read the fine print under the big, bold type, and meet all requirements. To earn 1.75 percent annual interest with a savings account at Metro Credit Union, for instance, you will need to maintain a minimum balance of $25,000. To get 1.6 percent interest with a Capital One money market account, the balance cannot go below $10,000.
Other banks — some of them online-only — have fewer restrictions on savings accounts. CIT Bank, for example is offering a money market savings account with a 1.85 annual percentage yield that can be opened with just $100.
CIT also has one of the most attractive deals for a certificate of deposit — a 2.5 percent yield for just a 12-month term. To earn more than that, you're probably going to have to tie up your money for a much longer period. One example: Blue Hills Bank is offering a 3 percent yield on a flexible CD, but you'll have to commit to keeping it for 29 months.
It's important to remember that unlike deposits made to traditional savings or bank money market accounts, you'll likely forfeit a good chunk of interest if you need to withdraw your money from a CD before it matures.
But with savings interest rates expected to keep rising — albeit slowly still — some financial advisors caution that locking your money into a CD for a long period may not be wise.
Meanwhile, there's a wide disparity between rates for savings and money market accounts being offered by traditional and online banks. Goldman Sachs, for instance, is trying to lure customers to its new online savings product, Marcus, with a high-yield rate of 1.8 percent. Bank of America, by contrast, is offering next to nothing — between 0.03 to 0.06 percent — for its various savings accounts, less than the national average savings interest rate of 0.08 percent as of July 9, according to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.
Typically, online savings and money market accounts offer higher rates than traditional banks and are FDIC insured, making them a good option as long as you don't mind not having immediate access to your money. And because there's no brick and mortar bank to go to, communications can be frustrating — ask anyone who's spent an hour going back and forth with a bank representative in an online chat window.
"When you don't have a local [banking] rep, getting questions answered can be difficult," Cozzone said.
For the most part, online savings and money market accounts tend to attract younger customers, while longer-term CDs are often a go-to low-risk option for older savers preparing for retirement. Because rates have been so bad for so long, many older savers have taken more risks than they would like — keeping money in mutual funds and stocks to generate income that they once could count on earning from CDs.
Regardless of a person's age, Moot said, now is the time to look into savings options, especially for people who have stayed away the past few years.

All children worry about things at one time or another. Today I wanted to share my favorite books for kids who worry.
I think it is safe to say that all good parents want their children to be happy and free from worries. There are few things more heartbreaking than watching a child you love suffer with anxiety and worry. I also know that the worry and anxiousness some children experience are not only very real to them but also really scary.
One of the most effective ways to get children talking about what they are feeling is to share a story book with them. Books can help them to not only vocalize the feelings that they have but to know what to do with those feelings. It also helps them understand that they are completely normal and that they can FEEL normal again as well.
Here are some of my favorite children books for kids who worry as well as the top rated children's books about anxiety that I have found. If you have a child dealing with anxiety, please take their feelings seriously and also realize that there are a lot of resources out there to help you as a parent.
These books are great for kids dealing with low-moderate anxiousness and worrying but if your child's worries are interrupting their regular activities and making it hard to function, please see a doctor.
In this book, Jonathan James and the Whatif Monster , whenever Jonathan finds himself in a new situation, he hears his Whatif Monster asking all kind of questions to stop him trying something new: What if it's scary? What if they laugh? What if it's hard? Finally, Jonathan James has some questions of his own: What if they don't? What if it isn't? What then?
and your kids would have a physical object to talk to about their worries. Plus you can always remind your kids not to listen to the things the Whatif Monster says and to teach him that trying new things can be fun.
What to Do When You Worry Too Much: A Kid's Guide to Overcoming Anxiety is written by psychologist and author Dawn Huebner, PhD and is a great book to work through together with your child. It is designed for children ages 6-12 and includes notes to the parents from the author on the best ways to help your child and also how to understand what your child is going through. We have loved using this book with our own children and it helps them break down their fears into smaller manageable chunks and help them to realize that when you worry about your worries they will continue to grow, just like the tomato plant in the book that is continually being fed. It is really easy to follow and helps empower children to work towards being able to lock their negative thoughts up and focus on the positive.
As I have searched the web for help with my own family I have come across numerous children's books to help with different types of worrying, from separation anxiety and fear of the dark, to fears that come from being the new kids at school or trying something new.
Do you have a favorite book to help your kids when they worry?


Over the long Holy Week weekend break, I finally had the time to look over the items I intended to sell on Ebay. The last time I sold something online was before November 2013 ended, and we all know what happened the month after. Anyway, I did not realize how many items I currently have, not until I finished my inventory. It was grueling work to gather all of the photos, description and measurement I took months ago onto one Excel file. I also tried to remember where these items were located, as some some of them were at home, while the others are in the apartment. To make the story short, they were all over the place.
My first weekend going back to Marikina after starting my second job in Pasay was full of — REST. I've spent the whole Saturday afternoon lying down and lazily playing with my nephew, niece, dogs and cat. I have also moved my usual Sunday activities with JB on a Saturday, because I should be going back to Makati after early dinner on Sunday to prepare for Monday. I also managed to take pictures of some of the things I will be listing on Ebay.com, using Mama's newly painted wall by the kitchen. While taking the pictures, I've heard the balut vendor pass in front of our house, and we had to rush outside just in time before he turned the corner.
I can't remember when was the last time I have eaten balut, but I definitely can't forget that one time in 1996, when I was too obsessed with it and devoured three eggs in one sitting. I eventually ended up with a headache the whole weekend. LOL I am not too fond directly looking at what was inside the shell, so my strategy was just to look at it cross-eyed as I sprinkle a pinch of salt on it.

Scientology's "Massive International Expansion" Under Captain David Miscavige — Lies Exposed
June 30, 2019 By Mike Rinder 58 Comments
Captain Miscavige sets the standard for Sea Org poses
Jeffrey Augustine posted the document below on his wonderful site The Scientology Money Project which is an invaluable source of amazing information.
He included it with a video of scientology's grand poohbah of mailing lists which in itself is fascinating. But I wanted to make a different point.
Captain Miscavige and his crew of loyal sycophants constantly claim that scientology is experiencing its "greatest growth ever" and "more expansion in the last few years than the previous 50 years combined" blah blah blah
Everyone outside the bubble knows these are massive lies.
But this old publication proves this in a way that even he could not dispute.
Capt Miscavige's minions took the growth of scientology from the inception of the Sea Org in 1967 through to 1992 and then extrapolated it to what scientology would look like in 2017 if that growth continued at the same pace.
Clearly, the growth has not only not continued, the wheels have fallen off completely.
In the years before Miscavige became capo di tutti capi (or perhaps it should be capo di tutti frutti) scientology was growing at a fairly rapid clip. At least until the early 80's there WERE new orgs being opened and a pretty healthy mission network around the world. Based on that earlier expansion, they extrapolated 2,788 scientology orgs and 37,000 missions by 2017.
Well, cough, cough…
There are the SAME NUMBER of orgs today as there were in 1992 and WAY LESS Missions. No expansion. Only contraction.
Despite all claims to the contrary — Miscavige has actually ridden the scientology horse into the ground. What HAD BEEN growing for a few decades before he took over has been shrinking steadily since.
697,000 Sea Org members? They have to empty out the RPF and steal from other orgs just to open an AO in Africa. The number of Sea Org members today is less than at the time of this publication.
4 billion books sold? Erm… the Pubs orgs still crow about figures in the tens of millions.
250,000 active auditors? Miscavige crushed the number of EXISTING auditors with the wonders of Golden Age of Tech, wiping out the ranks with the cold chrome steel efficiency of Typhoid Mary. Today there are less active auditors on earth than at any time since the late 1960's. The bell curve is on the downward slide from its peak in the mid to late 70's.
This one list represents the catastrophic implosion of scientology under Miscavige Rule. It is what is NOT there that makes this so vividly clear.
And how ironic that it comes from a publication that lauds him as the leader of the Sea Org (and that I am sitting right there next to him)…

You have, based upon lengthy first hand experience, such insight Mike Rinder. Even more so, a way with evaluation of bullshit it pulls me in every time even for the fact I don't want to be. That, is talent. No better way I can describe with words.
David Fists in fury demonstrate his power.
Thanks Jeffery and Mike for reissuing a picture of what miscavige envisioned as his future. I am sooo happy it did not come about. For him to fail is good for humanity.

It's the malevolent little psychopathic Keebler dwarf with the crooked zipper mouth wearing his tailor made Sargent Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band costume. 🤣🤪🤡

It's certainly a thrill
You're such a lovely brainwashed audience
We'd like to take you home with us
We'd love to take you home
And drain your bank accounts.

That's the surprise ending I didn't expect! Someone is in serious trouble for letting that photo get by..
When you have no real power, your only option is the crossed arm thingy. Good luck in Hell Dave.
Gosh, scientology, what a depressing and dismal mess.
To COB, well done, sir!
Back in the '70s we got to listen to the radio and sing along when we were pulling all nighters. There was more of a spirit of play. I am not saying it was all a bed of roses, far from it, but we at least got to relieve a little of the pressure by singing along with the radio. There was still the arbitrary ethics and the people on staff were aware that they did not speak of emotion or feelings.
Long story but I was one of the staff members who found was subject to arbitrary ethics actions. It has only been in the last few years that I discovered what my ethics order said. It was a pack of lies, and I was still in scientology, just in the GO not a SHSBC supervisor at ASHO, but what people were told even then was always "acceptable truths", better known as lies in the real world.
David Miscavige has a few strikes against him:
First, he can't claim he created new levels etc, he has to keep people grinding on what they have.
Second, he knows if he ever releases OT IX and X he will be revealed for the fraud he is because it will be so obviously fake.
Third inability to even allow a moment of enjoyment by anyone but him has only sped up the inevitable exodus.
When you have moments of fun mixed with the bad, it's harder to take time to look into whether or not it is all bad. When the enjoyment is something you have to pretend to have, it's easier to look elsewhere for something to make your life bearable.
I just finished reading both of Carolyn Jessop's books about her escape from the FLDS and one thing she said rang so true: "No matter how domineering the mind control of a group or cult is, the authentic self can only be suppressed, never totally erased. And suppress it I did. There was no way that a person's authentic self could surface and survive in the FLDS. It was dangerous to let any aspect of one's true self be visible."

The internet is allowing people who dare access it to realize that their authentic self is being suppressed.
Abby Ration says
I second the recommendation for both these books, along with "Stolen Innocence" by Elissa Wall, who escaped the same cult as Ms Jessop.
Shereefe says
I think crossed arms are just a thing. Leah crosses hers too in her photos (sorry Leah). Back to DM. Is it the power or the money? His medals, his control of Scientologists and Scientology itself tells me he might just "crack" if he loses the "church". He can run, but his power will be lost. Is he crazy enough to stay and battle the charges against him? Does HE believe he could win and remain "status quo"?
Great post- the unfortunate truth is that they will be able to rationalize this away somehow, It seems they have a massive blind spot that conveniently covers up anything that would show cap'n crunch in anything but a positive light. May the pirates of the Caribbean attack the freewinds on the next cruise that Miscavige takes- they can then make sure he indoctrinated into that cult…maybe they will take him to Disney land and make him a permanent part of the "its a small world" ride. After listening to the song ad nauseum for several years, he may be ready for conditional release….
capo di tutti frutti with no wheels
me is free, Norman is dead, Marc in the hole
scientology is on fire
gruntled says
Nice pose by the "Captain". lol
Do Scientologists know how to swim?
Bluggg…bluggg…bluggg…………………………
Even the statistics from the '90s are also almost certainly inflated to at least some extent. And though they might have been on an uptick then, I doubt it was really the sort of trajectory claimed.
Scientology apparently did experience a bit of a comeback around that time, I think mostly attributable to a sort of boomerang or echo boom effect with the baby boomer demographic that they had relied on for their major growth of previous decades, and the hippies infamously turned into yuppies who were then looking for tools for business success like WISE. They made some inroads again, most notably in some of the pseudo-medical fields like chiropratic, and among dentists eager to try to keep up with MDs in pay and prestige. The release of OTVIII generated some increased participation and enthusiasm – and, of course, income. And then it predictably all went bust again, probably now irrecoverably due to the passing of the demographic and social phenomenon that the initial boom and subsequent echo boom relied on, along with other things that leave Scientology dated and discredited.
That was also the period when some of the infamous, weakest orgs were created – ones that never really should have been, typically because internal machinations from stat pushing to asset confiscation (often when mission holders got into trouble) dictated that a mission franchise be turned into a CofS "church." And it was in 1992 that OT8 completions bottomed out around zero, with OT7 and OT6 down nearly as far, leading a crash in Flag's stats.
Also, from what I remember, independent Scientology and the Freezone were also more active back then, among other things taking advantage of the new opportunities offered first by dial-up BBSs (bulletin/message boards and forums), and then the internet. But that scene has also nearly evaporated, which I consider the reality-check that there is nothing that can be done with Scientology that would "work" in the 21st century.
What surprised me the MOST about the picture and questions about the significance of ALL those colorfully ribbons/badges adorning his uniform…..one question I have is this?
WHY THE HELL ISN'T THERE A HUMOGOUS SHOCKINGLY BRIGHT RIBBON FOR HIS MOST IMPORTANT WIN WIN WIN…….THAT BEING:
TAX EXEMTION WIN FROM IRS…….I MEAN WOULDN'T YOU THINK HE'D HAVE THAT ON HIS UNIFORM?
It is one of them
LOL! Really?? Really-really? Too funny! I bet he has ribbons for all sorts of crazy things.
OMG…Are you serious! I nearly fell out of my chair I was laughing so hard….WHICH one is "the little beauty"…..I was reading the list that was posted, must have missed THAT one.
For the love of Mike (no pun intended)….one would THINK it would have to be at least an 8 x 10 sized ribbon…….
I am so glad you saw the light & got the Hell out….each time I think of the joy & light I see in your face & eyes with Chris & the boys……sooo different then that tense faced ugly angry man who would defend COS…..
I can't imagine the pain leaving cost you, but you had no real choice…it was to BLOW or be sent to "Sing Sing"……banned forever…..
I always say this Mike….YOU CAN'T SAVE SOMEONE WHO DOES NOT WANT TO BE SAVED…….
The most perverted example of Hubbard's "Cheap Knowingness" ever produced. My experience with him proved it. I remember when they called me from Flag with the massive video in which Miscavige discovered the imperfections in the published texts. Total BS. Miscavige is actually ignorant. He picked up on Hubbard's idea that "truth was in self perception".
Cindy Temps says
Good article, Mike. In the picture I can't see clearly who is next to DM, but when I squint it looks like Jesse Prince, Mark (Marty) Rathbun, and Mike Rinder. Is that who is next to DM in the pic?
Me, Norman Starkey and Marc Yager
Soon after I blew scientology in 1982 I hooked up with a woman who had been in a small cult called "The Center for Feeling Therapy" which was an offshoot of Primal (Scream) Therapy. The main gist was that in order to know your own "Truth" you need to consult your innermost feelings. Trusting your gut in everyday terminology.
Finding your "True Self" seems to be a common theme in many cults and religions. In her cult the leader dictated most of the activities of the members up to and including who could marry whom. I guess his Truth was truer than everyone else's Truth.
We compared notes on our experiences. She hung onto a couple of her beliefs from "The Center" and I hung onto a couple of beliefs from scientology. At the time I considered she had been more of a "cultist" than me. haha
Deanoftruth says
The thought of fake ribbons on little Dave's dress blues makes my blood boil. I would love for someone that was in the sea org to define the ribbons on his little chest.
nomnom says
Last year there was an article in the Underground Bunker about those ribbons,

Thanks for the link!
Chee Chalker says
Here's an interesting little video I came across…..apparently Heinrich Himmler had 'ribbon/medal envy' since he had never actually served in combat. So he made up a bunch of stuff for his uniform.
Seems like this is a trait amongst the narcissistic.
Hiltler, on the other hand, took a more minimalistic approach…

Could also be titled David Miscavige's Massive Ultra-delusional Ego.
Captain. What qualifies him to have the title captain?
LRH told he was in a dream.
No! He gave that rank to himself! The evil prick.
Probably none.
Bruce Ploetz says
Kathy, he gave himself that title. All proper and legal-like, I'm sure, as if any Officer Selection Board would deny him anything he asks for.
And of course, by pure coincidence and only because of his stellar qualities and so on there are no other Sea Org members of that rank. Hubbard called himself a higher rank, "Admiral", but he's not around much anymore.
Technically there used to be some Sea Org members that held a "brevet" rank of Captain, not sure if they do this now. But a brevet rank is only held because of the nature of the post held by someone. For example the Executive Director International would hold a high brevet rank even if his actual rank was Midshipman.
So purely coincidentally and by no conspiratorial cabal or anything dishonorable etc. he holds the highest rank and can legally order any other Sea Org member to do anything.
As carefully explained in the documents that were presented to the IRS to get tax-free nonprofit status, the Sea Org is not an actual corporation. It is just a religious order, with no legal rights in the larger Church.
But try using that as an excuse to refuse Captain Dave Miscavige anything he asks for! If you survive the physical abuse and somehow find the will to go on living after being assigned to clean dumpsters for the next 999,999 years, you will have to explain in excruciating detail, in writing, how badly you feel that you disrespected Captain Miscavige. Along with the many other crimes that prompted you to commit such an egregious sin.
He is also the head of RTC and RTC gets to define what is Scientology or not.
RTC can kick out anybody who doesn't do what Miscavige wants, no matter how crazy or against a Hubbard policy.
Hubbard left so many contradictory policies, advices and loopholes that "the right policy" is defined by Miscavige's whim.
since its a made up organization, they can make up any ranks that they want to.

Kathy….Maybe THIS will explain everything about David M being called CAPTAIN
The booze he washes down has had a permanent affect on his brain..it's fried
Notice the white "sailor military uniforms etc".
The perennial question behind all this, asked but not answered yesterday again in the comments section: "Does Dave really believe in his own blather, or is he just a cunning con man?"
There is plenty of good evidence that even Hubbard didn't truly embrace his own posterior output. For every positive assertion in the works of L Ron Hubbard you can find an equal and opposite assertion somewhere.
But see Proverbs 26:11. A fool returns to his folly, not because it really works or makes sense. Because it is his folly. Sort of like the "Not invented here" syndrome that you see in large corporations. There must be something great about it because Hubbard was great and anything he happened to think or speculate about must also be great. The classic narcissistic trap, behind which is the sheer terror that he might not be so great in reality.
Most of us embrace enough humility to admit that we could be wrong about something, and strive to correct our behavior when an event or criticism from friends shows us an error.
Not so with the world class industrial grade malignant narcissists like Hubbard and Miscavige. Like Humpty Dumpty, when they define something that is it for eternity. Any criticism or bad results or faltering is just evidence of enemies in the ranks. "Damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead!"
Probably it is not a sensible question to ask if they truly believe. They are not believers in anything except the divinely pure existential efficacy of their own will.
Such a person is willing to lie about anything, tell any tall tale, spin any fantasy, to draw others into their perverted games. None of it is worth the clumps of aligned magnetic particles on the hard drives of the servers that record it on the web. "All lies in jest, still a man hears what he wants to hear and disregards the rest… Lie Lie Lie" (thank you Paul Simon)
Everyone doubts, everyone questions. Even Mother Theresa had doubts (see her published diaries). Doubts and questions are how faith grows and flourishes in normal humans. The only hope for humanity is that those who are radicalized by lies and deception will someday come to doubt and finally break free. Then reason can prevail over error. Then freedom can come to the enslaved.
Everyone doubts except those in the trap of malignant narcissism. Probably deep down even those creeps have inner doubts that they are brutally suppressing. But as long as the snake oil sells, there are those who will sell it.
Ann Davis says
Thank you Bruce! I was just wondering this very thing when I read this. I believe Mike once said yes and no both. I can see that too.
"We know everything about everything. We're right and everyone else is wrong." "We" in this case is the words, writing and philosophy of Hubbard. Maybe current scientologists consider it to be a combination of Hubbard and COB.
It wasn't long after I left that I looked back on this scientology presentation of itself and realized I had been in a cult. It's not so easy to recognize it while you're still "in".
As Carmine Falcone so eloquently said in Batman Begins: "So when did the nut start running the nuthouse?"
Is it possible the reason there has been such large contraction is that expanding their orgs and missions has little to do with what the monster wants? That is to swell his coffers with as much money as possible and hide it before the whole rotten structure comes crashing down.
As I understand it, he has changed things so that what is most important is to arrange to have as many hugely wealthy people "donate" millions to him at a clip so that the scam expands very little energy and spends very little money because they really no longer need anyone going up and down any bridges and they really no longer care about selling services. Why? Because all the money they get from all that pales in comparison to the million dollar donations he is able to suck out of his big whales.
I'd like to know what he uses for leverage to get those whales to give him so much money. Based on his reputation, I would guess he uses some very dirty tricks – primarily blackmail – to extract that money.
In the Season 3 episode in which Leah & Mike featured that very wealthy man who admitted he felt stupid and left the scam because he had wasted so much money. But I don't recall him explaining just what techniques were employed to get him to waste all that money.
Because he was a true believer. That's how dm exploits many of the whales. They actually believe. And I'm sure you're right about other ways too Skyler.
Thank you for that reply, Ann. I'm certain you are correct about that. I found the name of the wealthy man who donated approx $1 Million in Season 3 Episode 6. It was Bert Schippers and I believe he did say one of the main reasons he donated so much money was because he was a true believer. But I'm just left scratching my head trying to figure out why any true believer would agree it was important for them to make such huge donations. It was as if a few wealthy members were shouldering all the responsibility for all the members.
If I was a member, I'd be asking why they need billions of dollars when all they use it for is to buy empty buildings. I'd also be asking why I was continually pressured to make such huge donations and why all the thousands of new members couldn't each donate a small amount of money. Why do they focus on a few wealthy people to donate all that money instead of the many members with average finances. The answer is that it's a lie to say they are expanding by such huge numbers and the fact they need a few wealthy people to pay the whole load is evidence they are lying. But if you need even stronger evidence, it is that they are moving their lips. Anytime they move their lips, you know they are lying.
Moving up in "status" is sort of an equivalent to moving up in "rank" for non sea org and non contracted staff public. It gets admiration, respect and "altitude" (sciospeak) from within the group which might be quite heady for some people. DM turned attaining status into the new normal and sells it and some people buy it. Hubbard only sold training and "processing" although there was always another new and wonderful process being offered at Flog for a hefty price.
Apparently David Miscavige could care LESS about what others on the INSIDE or on the OUTSIDE think. He is living n his own private little bubble of luxury & comfort being tended to like a baby, eating highly delectable foods others can only dream of & drinking high brand booze.
What Jeff or anyone else has to say is of no interest to him….his loyal minions will protect his ass forever….when & IF the REAL authorities EVER come to get him……he will have been tipped off hours before hand since he has "plants" everywhere….& his arse will be on a private jet landing in a country that is WITHOUT an extradition treaty.
He will live out the rest of his life with the millions or billions he has squandered will those he has left behind will be more or less drawn & quartered and had their feet held to the fire for the CRIMES they have committed in HIS name…..
Seriously folks….just how the Hell ELSE do you think he's been able to get way with this bullshit story….those on the inside & close to him will give up their lives for him…..oh wait, they've ALREADY done THAT …..THEY will be the ones left holding the bag….swinging in the wind & locked up while David sits on his veranda with the "Ocean View"….drinking the heavily laced KOOL AID & laughing his ass off at the total STUPIDITY of those he's left behind.
That's all folks….
That's a very interesting post Balletlady. I believe there is more going on in his little sanctuary than meets the eye. I suspect the general opinion of this monster may be mistaken in two ways. First, he is much more evil than most people suspect – and that is a huge amount of evil. But second, he is not as stupid as he appears. He may well understand his scam has been running down to the ground and will soon disappear. But I'd really enjoy hearing anyone analyze his lifestyle like you did and then trying to predict – based on that – just what he will do when the scam finally comes crashing down (hopefully very soon now thanks to Mike and Leah and Valerie Haney and others).
1) Will he likely try to stash the cash in some secret bank accounts and flee the country?
2) Will he use a big chunk of the cash to pay retainers to lawyers so they will fight all the recent and new charges for the rest of his life?
3) Will he get some plastic surgery and have his legs extended so that he can pretend to be a different person and hide in plain sight?
I'd really like to hear if anyone has any other predictions for just what he will do to try and avoid the penitentiary and/or poverty. Surely he will try to fight off both those things. Don't you think?
Thank you Skyler!
Here's some information on child rapist Roman Polanski & how he managed to evade justice
https://www.apnews.com/e087fdee79e74caf99caa27edd8a8887
Not a doubt in my mind that David M has LOYALIST ALL OVER THE WORLD & that if HE needs to be hidden away…he has COS loyalist that would definitely do his bidding even at the cost of having themselves locked up in prison.
I am very much sure that David M has money stored in banks all over the world as well…..he KNOWS what's to come…..& knows he'll need cold hard cash to live a life of luxury once he's on the run.
DO NOT FORGET FLDS Warren Jeffs …..he STILL rules over FLDS with an IRON FIST from his prison where he does so by TELEPHONE…..
Balletlady,
A group of us just recently read Ryan Prescott's "book" (we got one copy and loaned it to each other before it was returned to Amazon). In it, he makes a point of claiming that the COB lives like a monk and that "David Miscavige isn't seen driving fancy cars, living in a mansion, eating five-course meals and partying with celebrities and billionaires. That just isn't what Mr. Miscavige does or will ever do."
He also quotes Mike as stating "He and his wife live in a single motel-style room. He eats with the rest of the staff in the communal dining room, he drives his own car, and carries his own bags." of course that quote was from a 1994 court case, and Mike was still in. Little Ryan quotes this and explains that, since the statement was made under oath it has to be true! He then completely ignores all evidence to the contrary.
It makes me wonder how much the non-bubble dwelling public is aware of about Miscavige's lifestyle. Even with the pictures of his luxurious life style, his expensive Tom Cruise "keeping up" vacations, and the utter lack of concern for others, they will NEVER open their eyes to the truth until it becomes impossible to deny the truth any more- like when he runs off with all the money and hides in an non-extradition country. I would say someplace like Columbia, but the inroads he may have made there recently blew up in his face when he publicized receiving a medal that wasn't approved…. oh well, there's always somewhere he could hole up and live like royalty.
There is ALWAYS going to be some country that will accept a RAT like him…….for the right PRICE…..lifestyle of the rich & WANTED FOR CRIMES in the USA
IF I were HIM,…..I would sleep with my ARSE TO THE WALL…..& a loaded gun in front of me….with my floors, wall, ceiling, windows, & doors alarmed & booby trapped….KARMA IS COMING LITTLE DAVEY>>>KARMA IS COMING
DAVID Miscavige….WHAT ARE YOUR CRIMES YOU BASTARD.
Well, the crossed arms sure are impressive. Really lets you know this bat rastard means business. On the other hand, as touched as this picture is, whoever did the touch ups, if you look closely, missed covering every bit of evil dripping off the corner of his mouth. I am going to make a guess on his thought bubble. Something like, "gee I really am awesome and these peons will believe whatever crap I say."
Yes Peggy! I do see the evil dripping!
I wonder how much trouble the official picture toucher upper will be in!
"Well, the crossed arms sure are impressive".
I'm never going to uncross my arms again!
That's sure to help you in all aspects of your life Old Surfer Dude! People will say "WOW – now there's the man with the bestest plan!" They may even give you oodles of money for no reason and bow to you.
At least they photo-shopped the fangs out!
Did anyone else hear that bell?
It rang to mark this day as the last day Miscavige will read this blog on a regular basis.
This post illustrates his failure. It's too hard for him to try to refute. It's become too painful.
And to any OSA people working on this: For this post, you can safely turn off your mental "entheta filters", which make you only skim-read posts. These are YOUR words of celebration from 1992, right around the time the "war (was) over".

The sole existing member of the once widespread Carettochelyidae family, the Pig-nosed Turtle Carettochelys insculpta is suffering the combined impacts of high international demand, organized global wildlife trade and poor enforcement in Papua province, Indonesia, where TRAFFIC's study was centred. A 2011 study of Pig-nosed Turtles in Papua found that populations there were suffering severe declines due to overharvesting.
The latest study found that Pig-nosed Turtle eggs are collected from river banks by villagers, who incubate them in hatcheries before selling the juvenile turtles into the global traditional medicine and pet trades. Such operations are not legitimate "captive-breeding" enterprises as the eggs are illegally collected from the wild.
An estimated 1.5 to 2 million eggs are collected each year, although the authors believe current figures may be considerably higher and are continuing to rise, according to their report Assessing The Trade In Pig-Nosed Turtles Carettochelys insculpta in Papua, Indonesia (PDF, 2 MB), released on World Animal Day.
The Pig-nosed Turtle is protected under national legislation and is listed in Appendix II of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Flora and Fauna (CITES), which restricts international trade in wild-caught individuals.
Villagers previously collected the turtles for subsistence food but now do so to generate income—a shift encouraged by traders who offer financial rewards or barter exchanges for the turtles, and who often co-ordinate egg-collecting trips along remote rivers using motorboats.
Minimal enforcement at the source has allowed such practices to continue unhindered and led to exploitation of turtle populations even along remote waterways.
International demand for the turtles is also reportedly increasing. Survey respondents spoke of companies drying and grinding the turtles into powder to supply traditional medicine markets in China and Hong Kong and of the growing online marketplace for live Pig-nosed Turtles.
Over 30 seizures amounting to more than 80,000 individual Pig-nosed Turtles took place between 2003 and 2013. They included a massive single seizure in 2009 of 12,247 Pig-nosed Turtles in Timika, Papua. More recently, 8,368 animals were discovered in several suitcases in connected seizures in Papua and Jakarta in January 2014.
Urgent enforcement action in Papua province targeting middlemen operating in rural communities is needed
Dr Chris Shepherd, Regional Director of TRAFFIC in South-East Asia
"We also recommend monitoring ports such as Agats, Merauke, Timika, Jayapura and Jakarta, and increasing enforcement at international points of the trade chain in Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, mainland China and Hong Kong."
In addition, the report recommends community-led awareness programmes and efforts to address socio-economic issues that drive the illegal trade in this distinctive but imperiled species.
This report comes ahead of deliberations at the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) at its 12th Conference of the Parties to assess whether the world is on track to reach the Aichi Biodiversity Targets, a means to assess progress against the CBD's Strategic Plan till 2020.
TRAFFIC is a member of the "Friends of Target 12" partnership to assist countries in their efforts to achieve Target 12—which aims to prevent further extinctions of threatened species and improve the conservation status of those disappearing most rapidly.

a bit more than just a credit list, but informally presented.
so for example, you can see a list of movies where I had to make full body suits.
skills and crafts. Links to the sources are provided in some cases.
to an artist who truly inspired me.
For those of you here for the first time, or who may not be familiar with me and my work, allow me to introduce myself. I've been an artist of one kind or another all my life, and loved films as well as science and wildlife.
fulfilling, but more often than not, small budgets and disorganized schedules prevented me from creating the kind of artistic quality I believed I was capable of. However, the skills I perfected doing film makeup and creatures were exacting in their nature, the kind of skills necessary for very realistic figures.
So I chose to expand my artistic range by applying the ultra-realistic techniques of film prosthetic work to the scientific discipline of reconstructing prehistoric creatures from fossil records, as well as exploring a new form of wildlife art, whereby living creatures were recreated with the highest museum taxidermy quality appearance, but without having to rely upon the skin, hide, fur or other remains of a dead animal to make the figure.
I also chose to take the sculpting, painting and figure finishing skills and apply them to the forensic reconstruction of human ancestral figures based on known fossil hominids. That lead me to undertake the single most well known reconstruction of my career, the full scale model of Gigantopithecus. The picture of me standing by my 9 foot tall model was published just about the time the internet was becomming popular, and so it was scanned from the book and has become something of an internet icon. Part of its popularity derived from the connection to "Bigfoot", because proponents of the existence of Bigfoot often speculated that the explanation for Bigfoot was a relic group of Gigantopithecus creatures who had not gone extinct as is generally presumed by science. So internet people interested in Bigfoot (and the believed relationship to this prehistoric ape) quickly seized the picture of me and Giganto as an impressive illustration of a giant ape that might still be alive today.
I have been fascinated all my life with the subject called "cryptozoology" (the study of possible animals not yet proven to exist, but suspected to exist) and in particular, "Bigfoot", because of my work in films and with real apes. The most famous single piece of filmed material proported to be a bigfoot is the Patterson Gimlin film taken in 1967, and in the last 40 years, there has been an ongoing and still unresolved debate about whether the female figure seen in the film is a real primate of unknown species, or an ordinary human being wearing a fur suit.
So it seemed reasonable that I, having spent nearly 40 years in the business of making such suits and costumes, might be able to offer some insight into this ongoing debate. My work in this regard is included here, along with my film and scientific artwork. Regardless of your interest, dinosaurs, human origins studies, movies and makeup techniques, the Bigfoot debate, or wildlife art that pushes the envelope in terms of technique and realism, I think you'll find something here to intrigue you.

Knock Off – Why Is This An Aruban Movie?
Thoughts On: Knock Off (1998)
Unknowingly shipping imitation clothing across the world, Marcus Ray is roped into an explosion of CIA, gangs and terrorism.
Aruba is a Dutch Caribbean Island about 20 miles long and 6 miles wide, 20% of which is a national park, that sits just off the coast of Venezuela – you can even see it on clear days. A significant country in regards to water purification technology with the world's most renowned female wind surfer and an internationally recognised film festival, Aruba seems like an interesting little place. But, for some reason, its only cinematic exports are a collection of late 90s/early 2000s action pictures like Mercenary For Justice starring Steven Seagal, Hard Cash with Val Kilmer, Control with Ray Liota, Willem Defo and Michelle Rodriguez, Unstoppable featuring Wesley Snipes, The Order with Jean-Claude Van Damme and… of course… JCVD's 1998 Knock Off. Oh, we can't forget Hammerhead too – a movie about a half man, half shark. I'm sure it's a masterpiece. After days of trying to figure out why this is the case, I can confidently say that I'd give my right nut to know what the hell is going on here. These movies aren't made in Aruba, in fact, the vast majority of Knock Off was shot in Hong Kong – some second unit footage in the Philippines. I assume these movies were produced in Aruba, meaning there's got to be money flowing through there. But, I honestly have no idea as to what is going on here.
Nonetheless… let's talk about Knock Off. In short, a 90s action film that was the penultimate effort in JCVD's 90s career that was soon ended with the second Universal Soldier movie: The Return. Knock Off was then a feature of a six film flop series including the aforementioned Universal Soldier II as well as Double Team, Maximum Risk, The Quest and Sudden Death. Van Damme of course turned this around with the critically acclaimed JCVD in 2008 that lead to reality T.V shows and a whole lot of other mess including The Expendables and more Universal Soldier movies. But, money, flops, reality T.V and careers don't matter. Is this movie good?
Short answer: not really. There's a lot to really appreciate about this film though – especially in regard to the direction, choreography and camera work. However, you only appreciate it as you can tell that there is some effort being put into this movie; this isn't handled as throw away slop. In such, there's an ambitious use of CGI that has us move through spaces in an interesting manner, but… this ultimately serves as a shoddy example of what we got a year later with the first Matrix movie. Moreover, there's a lot of flashy camera movement that works wonders in certain actions sequences, but, for the most part, this is inarticulate cinematic language and an abuse of an idea of a moving frame. There's also a few experimental effects that create a blurred stroboscopic aesthetic that are, again, interesting, but not very well applied.
The other technical redeeming factors of this film are elements of the fight choreography, but, a vast majority of this was cut from the movie. So, what we see here are the downfalls of this movie starting to rub out the positives. In such, the edit ruins many action sequences, which are boring and far too stretched out for the most part, leaving only one that's pretty spectacular – without spoilers, there's a lot of people and knives. The vast majority of the other action scenes are poorly constructed with terrible logic and pretty horrific wire work that is hard to overlook.
However, the worst element of Knock Off is the meeting of this script with a few awful casting decisions…
Both Lela Rochon and Rob Schneider suck here – especially Schneider thanks to the script. As you could guess, he's the bumbling comic relief thing, except there is no relief and there is no comedy to be found anywhere. But, in regards to the script, there's nothing truly offensive about it – it's just bland 90s mush that you can see in a million different movies – almost all of which are trying to capture the work done in the 70s by the likes of Bruce Lee.
In all honestly, there's not too much to get mad at with this movie. You know what it is within twenty seconds and it tries to do a good job about things. The only significant thing that you can take away from this movie is then a lesson in how not to construct the finale of an action thriller.
With subtlety, the most dragging element of Knock Off is the lack of a good antagonist. If there was a big bad guy, a boss of sorts, that was somewhat formidable or interesting – at least present – then the fights would have meant a lot more and the heroes would have been far more compelling (maybe not Schneider). This would have all built towards a conclusion that meant something for the characters and, in turn, the audience. And in securing some sense of pace within the narrative, Knock Off could have been enjoyable, dumb fun. However, it's the lack of antagonism and momentum that really leaves this film unenjoyable nonsense.
So, all in all, at best Knock Off will be a mediocre movie to anyone not expecting much, and a pretty boring film with a lot of problems to anyone suspecting anything more. Sorry for not being able to find a better film for the World Cinema Series, maybe I'll find something else soon, but I'll now leave things with you. Have you seen Knock Off? What are your thoughts?
Oh. And if you know why this is classed as an Aruban movie, please tell me.

Earlier this year, we were given the opportunity to host a patient "pancake party " for the kids at Children's Healthcare of Atlanta. It was neat to see how quickly IHOP donated pancakes and The Center for Allergy and Asthma donated toys to keep the kids busy during their hospital stay. This truly shows the love our community has for Children's Healthcare of Atlanta. The Georgia Drug Card team was truly blessed to spend time with these special kids and put this party together. The Child Life Zone is definitely an extra special place for patients to have the opportunity to get out of their rooms and enjoy being a kid.
More recently, we were given a behind the scenes tour of the hospital and saw first-hand the impact that our donation makes on the hospital. Children's Miracle Network representative, Nancy Koenig, gave us a tour of the various departments at Children's Healthcare of Atlanta. We were very impressed with their systematic process of moving patients along as well as the efficiency of their ER. Their attention to detail is what makes Children's a special place. An example of this is how they keep the same movie consistent throughout all areas and all departments. By doing this, a child getting moved from the waiting room to a hospital room won't miss a beat. Seems small but that's "thinking like a kid".
We look forward to future opportunities to work with Children's Healthcare of Atlanta after seeing first-hand how our donations help kids in our community.
