We all want a change in the parkour system that has stayed basically the same since the beginning, but, what exactly do you think should be added/changed? What moves could be added at this point?
The only ideas I have are for allowing us to maybe do a mirror's edge style wall run move by running at a certain angle at a wall, and the ability to shimmie (if that is how it is spelled) across little ledges against buildings. Also I want a change in the camera angles while freerunning and climbing.
But what more could be added to make it feel new? New moves? Or just change the control scheme? What are your ideas?
I would add tonnes more dynamic objects on the platforms. I never get tired of flipping off tables, fences, and AIs to shake the guards.
1. Momentum being taken into account forcing the Assassin to build speed to make longer jumps, while avoiding obstacles that break forward momentum.
2. More precise movement and jumping.
Maybe just more animation when passing through obstacle.
or maybe make it more difficult/challenging when climbing, jumbing, etc.
Like someone mentioned -- less automated, more dynamic.
I like the idea of needing more momentum to make larger gaps. I'd like a return of the leap and grip mechanic first introduced in AC2 only instead of having to press a button to both leap up and then a different one to grab... you just press the button once to both leap AND grab. This makes you do more input without it being as tedious. It will also look and flow nicer if the game automatically grips the next thing. The leap and grip always looked clunky and was pretty clunky in use but when they automated it, it looked nicer. Unfortunately, the automated version is, well, less satisfying because I'm not doing it. Having it done the way I described would solve that I think.
Second... I'd love if it took inspiration from Mirror's Edge. When you jump off a structure, I should be required to press a button to initiate a roll. If I don't press the button, I'll do a hard land which will not only hurt my health a bit (differs based on how high you fell), but also slow me down (which is obviously bad if you're being chased.) If I press the button at the right time and perform a roll though, I am able to fluidly continue running with next to no slow down and I don't lose health. After a certain height however, avoiding injury is impossible.
Lots of things need to be completely gutted and reworked for the first true next gen AC game. For instance, AC needs to take a HEAVY cue from Watch_Dogs when it comes to open world events. Watch_Dogs has those buildings where you hack into the server or whatever and you unlock access to hacking people's phones and the like. Those are akin to the towers or forts from AC. But W_D ALSO has random crimes that will pop up from time to time. Spiderman 2 also had this (rescue someone from falling, stop a mugger, chase down a getaway car, return a child's balloon, etc.), Red Dead Redemption has this (stop a store robber, stop a wagon thief, nightwatch jobs, gang ambush, stop two criminals who escaped the police, bounties, etc.). AC has always been severely light when it comes to that random, dynamic element to the world. It's explored it tentatively -- the thieves in Revelations but really... AC doesn't have much after the main and side missions. There's typically nothing to do except start fights with guards and run around buildings. So that needs to be rectified: civilians who are being mugged, criminals being chased by guards (if you get the criminal, you're rewarded by the guards), etc. Basically look to Spiderman 2 and RDR and Watch_Dogs for inspiration.
Also...W_D's random events also have random outcomes after you tackle them... for instance, some criminals will try and shoot at you, some will get away in a car, some might get back up, etc. Not only is the crime random, but so is what happens after you get involved. That's really cool and AC would really benefit from it.
Greater emphasis on crafting a dynamic and believable game world with random events that will pop up on your mini-map that you can chose to ignore or take on and that never "dry up."
Other than that... things start to get less important to me, personally. Combat could get a makeover as well I suppose but it's not as big a priority IMO.
They need to ditch the AC3 free running animations. It feels so artifical.
Why must the protags flail their arms around? Im pretty sure there is a delay in animation transition too. You seem to stop for a while before jumping and then again after landing.
AC1-ACR free running felt way smoother than it does now.
Wow really?? I LOVE that they flail their arms. I didn't like how previous protagonists just easily sailed through the air. The animations for Connor and Edward made it seem like they were actually trying.
When you are flying through the air like that it is a natural automatic body mechanism to start to flail your arms like that to "balance" you out. I think it makes the freerunning better! At least the animations.
I entirely agree. Ezio and Altair made freerunning look graceful and elegant, which is what it should be. I felt more like an assassin smoothly hopping across gaps than I did as Connor or Edward.
I completely understand why they did it with Connor though, because he was different to the other assassins. He was heavier, more powerful, had different weapons and therefore a completely different style. One of the developers likened his style to that of a wolf rather than an eagle like previous assassins, which I thought was very fitting. And when you look at Connor's fighting style compared to Ezio's, you can see the difference - it's brutal instead of balletic.
All this makes him look a bit clumsy when throwing himself off rooftops. The freerunning animations don't feel quite as smooth and there's just something less assassin-like about Connor's (and Edward's) running and climbing.
I hope they go back to a smoother sort of freerunning in the next games. Interestingly, Haytham's freerunning style was completely different to Connor's in AC III, presumably to indicate he was trained by assassins. I also want a bit more control over my character - like being able to say I want to jump a short distance as opposed to wanting to jump a huge distance. In AC III and IV there was no distinction. In terms of bringing something new though, I thought Aiden's freerunning style in Watch_Dogs looked great - he didn't face fences head on to jump over them but rebounded off the wall. And he actually rolls correctly for a free-runner for once - rolling diagonally across the body instead of straight.
And more dynamic moving objects as part of the platforming.
They already did it with ships and I would really love to see that mechanic being used for other moving objects in the world.
The magic of games is when they make you feel like you are performing the awesome actions on screen. For this to happen there needs to be the right balance between player input and onscreen feedback. The parkour in AC is way off as the game does everything and the player barely anything. This makes me feel disconnected and it's frankly a bit dull. I want to be the actor, not a spectator.
I wish that I one day will see a youtube video of someone doing parkour in AC and think to myself: "Wow that gamer has skill, I wonder how he did that!"
Agreed. It should be intuitive but highly interactive.
I'm not going into specifics like I have in other similar threads so, to put it simple, the key is challenge. The game must not allow the player to shut off the brain. The world feels like a highway, just press a button and keep your eyes on the road and the physics will do the rest. And what is the problem with freeways? Because they are so monotone and don't require extreme attention, the driver can easily fall asleep. The same can be said about AC. The world must be seen as a set of obstacles that require the player's full attention in order to bypass them without breaking the fluidity. Of course that every action must be interactive and not automatic. If the player fails to duck, slide, roll or jump when necessary, he should be punished accordingly.
On another note, I don't know why everyone is so interested in AC5's setting. If the gameplay doesn't recieve an overhaul and the cities remain dead and monotone, the setting will without a doubt go to waste.
Anyway, the main problem with navigation is the same that has been plaguing the series. A game, in its essence, is nothing more than a challenge, an obstacle that the player has to overcome. For some reason, AC, like most games these days, created an aversion to the word "challenge". It became closer to sightseeing, to a tour than to an actual game. Stealth, combat and navigation suffer from the lack of challenge, because the gameplay is challenge itself.
You all through around things like "it should be more interactive" or "it should be more intuitive" but you fail to actually propose any ideas.
That is the point, that perhaps completely overhauling the freerunning system is not as simple as it seems. It is a 3rd person freerunning game. There are not as many options as for say, a first person game. That is why you get all sorts of different variations of freerunning in FP games, like dishnored, Thief, Mirror's edge, ect. Perhaps there are only little bits they can tweak and such. The only actually relevant idea so far was the "you actually have to press a button to roll whenyou hit the ground, otherwise you take damage".
I think the Parkour didn't change that much post-ACR, but some of the interactivity that was taken away makes it seem like a lot was taken away.
The parkour's place as a main part of the core mechanics would mean that it should never be too complex. It should strike a balance so much that its complexity would be felt as part of a whole.
I didn't mind taking away the x button. All it needed was unnecessarily distract a thumb. AC III only made the automation less of a hassle so you'd be able to control the camera.
What I think they should do is provide more ample amounts of interactivity to the system. little touches like the climb-leap would be welcome, because honestly that's the only bit that I missed and think that it shouldn't have been removed.
That's all i really think parkour and free running need in AC. some subtle touches of interactivity to maintain player control and immersion.
I have always had an idea of a FP AC with the freedom of Dishonored, you can do things your way. The challenge(the option of course) of Thief and the freerunning(kinda) of Mirror's Edge. Something like that, then mix this idea with the idea from my thread about an AC with options.
Slower climb speed, with higher grip density.
Hold empty hand to grab to not fall due to dynamic events (aka a window opening, a lose brick etc).
Ropes with 360 degree rope-swinging.
Hold to roll when landing.
Those are all good points and most of them would be good additions IMO.
I didn't put too much thought into it, but they are things that work very well in other games imo.
And you fail to realise I didn't fail. I specificaly said I wasn't going into detail like I already did in other similar threads. It's not my fault that every week a new thread shows up to discuss some topic that was already discussed before, it's like every month or so, the forum resets and the same threads and comments appear as if all the ideas and debates that came before never existed. It gets boring after a while and I have no interest in repeating myself over and over.
Anyway, like I said some time ago in some thread, freerunning serves both as a means of traversal and as a bridge between combat in the form of escape. When on the ground, free-running should be highly disencouraged as it attracts all sorts of attention to the assassin. That means most of the free-running would take place on the rooftops, the assassin's playground. The simple act of rooftop traversal should provide challenge but, for that to happen, there must be much less handholding. Falling off a rooftop should cause instant death or, at least, a huge drop on synch. This means the player will have to avoid falling off at all costs. However the game should be fair. It shouldn't "forgive" the player if he makes a mistake or a miscalculation but it should never be the cause of such a mistake (unprecise or unresponsive controlls). Jumping from a roof to the next shouldn't be a simple matter of holding down a trigger, the player must evaluate the distance, he must make sure he has the speed necessary to make the jump, he must press the "jump button" at the right moment and, if the assassin fails to fully get to the other side (like he manages to get the upper-body but not the legs) and starts slipping, it is up to the player to press the "empty hand button" before the assassin falls. Of course that, during a chase, the player can take more challenging paths (that require longer and more precise jumps) and lead the less agile pursuers to their graves. But the challenge mustn't lay only on the gap between the various rooftops, rooftop traveling is especially challenging and dangerous when it's raining as they get slippery which can be used as a tactical advantage during chases. Needless to say that actions like vaulting or sliding require the player to press the right button at the right time.
As for chases, the key is to get to the rooftops while avoiding getting hit or cornered. Take AC1 trailer for example. Right after the assassination, Altair escapes to the rooftops which gives him a clear advantage and then finds a blending group. Of course this only works if the guards don't have assassin-like skills all of a sudden and start climbing and parkouring. The only way for a guard to get to a roof is to find a lather and climb it. This means the core of the challenge is in getting to the roofs. In order to do so, the player will have to distance himself from his pursuers before atempting to reach the rooftops as guards will throw rocks or fire guns (according to the time period) if in range. So, in order to distance himself from the pursuers the player will have to take more challenging paths that involve a lot of obstacles which require various parkour moves. Each sucessful parkour stunt, the distance between the player and the pursuers increases and every time the player fails in performing a stunt (by not pressing the necessary buttons or due to wrong timing), the assassin will trip or lose balance giving the pursuers a chance to reach the player. Enemies may also block the path leaving the player with two options find an alternate route quickly or try to bypass the enemy (which requires the player to jump, roll or slide right before the enemy strikes.
And these are just a few ideas that I remember having come up with. I know I had other ideas in the past but they're lost in the midst of that graveyard of threads.
Yes, you are exactly right!
Freerunning/Parkour has become too easy in the latest installments and I am hoping/wishing that they will increase the difficulty in the upcoming games.
I was enamored just like everyone else with all the new animations in AC3, but it seemed to come at the cost of the players relinquishing some their control. Connor jumps where I want him to most of the time but there's always that off-chance that he does something I wasn't expecting (like jumping on something I didn't intend or deviating toward a different path). I've played the game enough times to know when those "unpredictable" actions might occur so that might dissuade me from taking different approaches to a mission (or I might choose not to climb on a certain building/tree/etc). One example, on my 1st playthrough, is when you want to diagonally jump off the edge of a platform (or roof) but instead he keeps skipping against the edge and refuses to eject. Of course now I know you can avoid that by facing the edge directly or pressing the force eject button (R1+O for the ps3, which was most commonly used in ACB).
Not sure if they changed this in AC4, but in AC3 you basically can't get hit by projectiles while climbing/freerunning. The guards are using guns and just a few meters away from Connor, surely one of them would've hit him. I guess this just feel wierd since guards in AC1-ACR can bring you down with a barrage of rocks.
Bbbbuuuuut... I don't know if the majority of AC players out there feel the same. I did read one piece on kotaku (or was it ign?!) that said the freerunning in AC3/AC4 is the best in the series. Those blogs have a huge audience - more than this place - and I saw a huge consensus. But that's just one or two blogs... certainly doesn't mean the majority yet.
Sorry wolfmeister1010, just noticed you weren't replying to my post. In my defense, you didn't quote any post, yours was right after mine and I guess your answer could be applied to my post. I failed to realize that.
Freerunning has always been easy though, and I think it should be. The challenge of AC has never been about perfecting the style of freerunning but of navigation - which is the quickest/best way to lose the guards, or the best way to approach a target.
What AssassinHMS is suggesting, with individual controls for jumping, grabbing etc. sounds easy enough on paper, but would inevitably become incredibly complex and overwrought in reality. When you're being chased for instance, it's hard enough trying to navigate through the world without having to concentrate on individual actions. The problem with this sort of system is that it requires an enormous amount of accuracy on the player's part, and most don't have the time or the patience to reach that stage.
There's a simplicity and elegance to the current system (at least AC1 - Revelations) that makes freerunning effortless. And I don't mean that in a bad way. I mean that it gives the player freedom to observe and to get swept up in the beauty of prowling the rooftops of Venice for instance, without having to get bogged down by the minutiae of movement.
I'm all for making the AC games more intelligent and more realistic, but this would be a step too far. Freerunning is meant to be elegant and effortless. It's an assassin's second nature after all.
I wouldn't mind the idea of holding down a button if you want to roll out of a jump instead of straight on the feet that you mentioned Assassin HMS. To me that is an acceptable level of control for the player because it can have a practical use. I think one of the problems we've got in the most recent ACs is there's no differentiation between wanting to climb to the rooftops or to get down to the floor. Basically, if the player is about to jump off a ledge and there's a beam above him and a beam below him, the game will always choose the one above. This makes sense, since a lot of players will want to climb, but if you want to get down, the game is less graceful about it. Either you find a leap of faith, climb down manually or else jump to another structure entirely. As it stands, if the player is on a rooftop and wants to get down to one just below him, the game forces you to jump a huge distance.
But what if this control could allow you to smoothly fall off the edge without jumping and fluidly carry on running? You can see this in the GTA V movement style when a player falls off a ledge onto a lower one. You can also see the same in the Watch_Dog demos. I wish I could draw a diagram to better explain what I mean, but imagine it like this: You've got a set of terraces like enormous stairs, each one 2 metres high and 3 metres long. If we take the current freerunning animations (AC III and IV), the player will throw himself off each ledge pretty clumsily, with his arms flailing and will land on the far edge of the ledge below. But this isn't how real freerunners would go down a surface like this - it's not fast and it's not efficient. Basically if you're landing as the player does, which is straight on his feet, it takes away all the momentum of your jump instead of throwing it into the next one and the one after that. So in AC the player will go down these ledges like a slinky on stairs, when it should be a fluid, seamless fall from one to the next.
So if in-game I wanted to get down to the floor smoothly, I could press this button while running and it would be a more or less constant fluid motion in the jumps and rolls without this stop-start system the current games have.
Best in the series? I'm not sure how they're judging that, but I don't agree at all. If they mean in terms of variety of moves and vaulting, then yes. If they mean if terms of ease of control then definitely not.
I actually think AC freerunning is incredibly clumsy in terms of fluidity of motion. The only exception I can think of is the vaulting animations, which actually work. But if the player is running off a rooftop and onto another ledge, there's no consistency between the two motions. The player will pause before jumping and pause afterwards, giving it a stop-start animation which feels which looks very awkward and jarring. Watch_Dogs does this much better, so I hope any new AC game completely revamps this.
So in terms of the evolution of freerunning, I think a lot of work needs to be done on animation transitions. And I'd love for the game to use actual freerunning techniques.
I will just add it would be nice to be able to run without being in parkour mode... often when trying to catch a courier trying to run up a set of stair that turns, i would just start climbing the wall because i didnt turn at the exact millisecond needed.
The game should start concentrating on letting players explore inside buildings as well, because the formula of just staying outside is getting pretty repetitive. I like to explore a lot.
well.. there are the occasional building that you are aloud to go in. But I don't see the point in exploring more buildings as an assassin. What would be the purpose? Even your RPG games dont' let you explore a ton of buildings. I would like to see more community action. or contacts.
As far as free running goes. I really liked the Animations in AC3 it added a level of realism to it.
That's what they've always done except they have to keep it at a minimum due to restraints. I honestly don't know what they can do next to make these games feel more organic besides improving on the core mechanics.
If anyone have any idea, feel free to share.
@jdowny => Agreed. A reasonable level of control.
Some stuff like that to add more sophistication to the running system while still making it as comfortable as possible.
ACIII did quite well with it. ACIV had some buildings you could go in such as taverns, but they were hardly of any attraction.
I didn't all posts so apologies if it got mentioned.
I really think this parkour needs few things that always annoyed me.
1- Jumping from a building to building, it is annoying how the protagonist takes a moment to fully jump. I am no expert at parkour but jumping should be without stopping, the stop moment to jump is just to jump high and not forward.
2- Virtual system in brotherhood was really a good thing that made who plays it become good at it, to know when to go down from a roof, and when you need to jump, it was really helpful because I always thought if you wanted to go down you should grab the ledge of the building, then drop. Since the engine changed, mechanics changed. And so you press "High Profile" + "O or B" which was alright in AC3 but messed up in AC4. In short, a parkour training like the virtual training in brotherhood would be good.

The first time I saw the LDS missionaries was through the scope of my sniper rifle—their white shirts strikingly visible against the intense green of the jungle. Who would dare be so visible in the middle of a war?
During my seven years in the Cuban military, I was trained by the Soviets and Vietnamese to carry out special warfare and insurgency operations throughout the world. We smuggled guns, ammunition, people, and explosives to 27 countries. We exploited revolution in Africa, Asia, and Central and South America. We made war—that was our only purpose. Though I had no faith of my own, my grandma had taught me the principles of the Bible well. Throughout my missions, her words were always in the back of my mind. I would need them to become the man I wanted to become. And, as I would find during a mission deep in the Guatemalan jungle, I would need them to stay alive.
I joined the Cuban military right out of high school and stayed there for seven years. The military in Cuba is compulsory, and you can opt to be drafted as soon as you finish high school or after you finish college. But my mom had a very difficult time after she got divorced, and the domestic environment was not easy for me. So after high school, I just wanted to go away; the military provided mobility.
Though the domestic situation with my mother was never very good, my childhood had been happily spent in the company of my great-grandmother. Because my mom worked in a research facility pretty far away, my grandma was my main emotional attachment for many years. She was, more or less, my most significant relationship.
My grandmother had a deep faith. She constantly taught me about the Bible, especially the words of Isaiah and his prophecy of a temple in modern times. This temple, and whatever took place in it, was critical to Grandma's view of God.
One night, she told me, "God is the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow. He has been my God since I was 23 years old and will be my God forever. God gave men clear instruction of how He wanted His church and His affairs handled. Men, in their arrogance, changed everything. They broke the commandments; they changed how things ought to be done. Thus, they're cut off from Him."
"So, God isn't with us any longer, then. Are we on our own?" I asked.
"No, Son, He is here," she said with certainty. "You tell God that you know He is there, that you know you're cut off from Him because we've lost the way, but that you love Him. He will hear you."
Right before I left for the military, she warned me of the dangers and implored me to remain clean. "I send you out into the world in the hands of God. I urge you to seek Him in everything you do. I'll pray for your safe return day and night until you come back. But keep silent prayers in your heart always, listen to His voice, and you'll be safe."
And off I went. They did some tests and I scored high in certain areas; I had also studied martial arts since I was young. Because of these things, they told me I would do well in special forces. I figured if I was going to go with the military, I might as well go with the best and the brightest.
I worked for the equivalent of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and they would call me any time of the day or night. What my group did, for the most part, was to shadow enemy troops. The Central American Civil War—the Dirty War, as we called it—was a war of proxies. The U.S. was not directly involved, neither were the Soviets. They used proxies to fight the war for them.
The U.S. had CIA, special forces, trainers, and military advisors on the ground. The Soviets had them, too. The Cubans did the fighting, the training of insurgents, and so forth. Our task was to follow the enemy troops, and occasionally to grab military officers and pass them along for interrogation.
One time, our mission was to extract a lieutenant. We watched him go into a bar and brothel, on the second floor. The idea was to grab him without having to destroy the place, shoot people, or make a lot of noise—and all we had was an ice cream push cart.
We got to the second story of the building with a rope; we came in through the window, shot him with a tranquilizer, and put him in the ice cream truck. But when you lower the temperature, it diminishes the effect of tranquilizers. So we started pushing this ice cream truck down the street, and he started kicking and screaming. People were looking at us, shocked, and asking, "What have you got in there? A pig?" We tried to assure them that it was just a pig, but we had to finish up—fast.
We ran to the end of the street where the extraction truck was waiting. When we opened the lid of the ice cream cart, he jumped out and started running down the street. Now it just so happened that at the end of the street there was a mental hospital, so the people were afraid that he was a patient, and they actually helped us get him. We shot him again with the tranquilizer and got him in the truck.
Months later, we were in a town nearby, and an old man came up to me and said, "Hey, doctor, how are you?" I was confused. Doctor? Then he asked, "How did the situation with your patient end up? Did you get him back in the hospital?"
Then I realized he was talking about the lieutenant. "Oh, yeah!" I said. "He was totally insane." My comrades and I laughed. From then on, my friends started calling me Doc. It was a story we told many times.
In what we did, humor was a way to keep your sanity, because if you started thinking about what you were actually doing, there was no reason for laughter.
You have to understand there are three rules in the jungle. One, you have to blend. If you don't blend, you're going to become somebody's lunch real fast. The other rule is to move slowly. If you're moving too fast, you can't hear anything, such as something coming up on you. The last thing that is really important is that you have to be aware of the environment—you don't make yourself known.
One time we were waiting for an equipment drop on a hillside in the jungle. Suddenly, something came out of the bushes and started coming down the hill—and whatever it was, it was ignoring all three of the jungle rules.
I looked closer and it was two kids—jumping around, happy, talking, and not paying attention to anything. They're lunatics! I thought to myself. They're gonna get themselves killed. They were wearing white shirts and ties in the jungle, skipping and jumping animatedly down the hill. I could see one laughing. "Who are these people?" I said out loud.
"Oh, they're missionaries," said one of my comrades.
To me, my grandmother's student, this was fascinating, but my companion didn't seem to care. Who in their right mind would come into this godforsaken place, in the middle of a civil war, to talk about God? The missionaries had safely gone about their business, but the memory of those white-shirted boys lingered for days.

WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange was taken into custody by British police Thursday morning after spending seven years hiding in the Ecuadorian embassy in London. Shortly after his arrest, footage appeared on social media sites showing the bearded Assange being forcefully removed from the embassy.
Yeah and listening to him scream like a "little girl" when the police drug him out . . . jeeesh. At least man up and comport yourself with some dignity.

Nina is an inspiring role model of wellness. I appreciate her because despite being a very clean eater, and ultra-active, she maintains her approachability and is always looking to inspire others in a non-threatening way. Nina is often bringing in her healthy twists on an unhealthy food. She'll bring in a healthier chocolate peanut butter cup, complete with accompanying recipe. Instead of being condescending or placing blame when others make unhealthy choices, she is the first one to cheer you on when you eat well and exercise. In addition, the energy, enthusiasm and preparation level she brings to her cycling and group exercise classes are second to none. I am blessed to be able to work with Nina at SFU Recreation and she is competent, supportive and always seems to produce unique solutions to the issues at hand.

In 1955, this baby was found by marines after a misfired artillary shell destroyed a building in Zimbabwe during the night.
Marines affectionately named the baby Baby Darksky.
Here is a picture of bolts grandmorther and two of her sisters.
They spent a few years in prison after John Dilenger testified that they once robbed him after a bank heist.
It is believed after much investigation that this woman is Bolt Darksky's mother.
Bolt's not only liked tinkering with mecahanical things, he also loved animals.
Here we see a picture of Bolt's dog at age 8 "General Patton"
At age 15, Bolt began to surround himself in armor.
Here is Bolt dressed for his high school prom, his shield and sword(not pictured) was confiscated at the door for safety reason.
Bolt was kicked out of school one week after the prom for carrying this chainsaw which he referred to as a pocket knife.
Here is a picture of Bolts first car.
In 197? Bolt married Lady Darksky. Pictured is the wedding car just prior to ceremony.
Bolt's First meeting with "Get Sprung".
No wonder sprung is the only pilot that has never beaten Bolt in a game of Team Destruction maybe he is still shell shocked from first meeting.
Here is Bolt in front of his car with a few of his friends.
Here is a picture of Bolt's first mechanized construction. The 60-foot destroyed several vehicles before Bolt could effectively bring it to a halt.
The state of New York then requested that he exit the state at which time he moved to Atlanta.
Here is Bolt standing infront of his new Bently, he says it is a smooth ride but complains that it lacks armor and firepower.
He now has a law suit against Bently for their refusal to install a 20mm cannon and 1200lbs of plated armor.
It was in 2002, that Bolt joined the Mech core.
Pictured here is Bolt climbing into his first mech, which he used to decimate the Microsoft HeadQuarters for the release of Mech 2.
He was fined $250 and 10 hours of community service, seems the judge was a little upset with the release of Mech 2 also.
He has three children remaining at home; Jake Darksky pictured here with mother Lady Darksky, and Myst Darksky, the little one to the right.
Pictured here is oldest daughter Rain Darksky who Bolt admits to be the best mech pilot of the Darksky clan, however she is very disobedient and refuses to wear her armor.

Leader of Northern Ireland's Largest Protestant church snubs the pope, Catholic Church
"The Presbyterian Moderator, Dr Norman Hamilton, plans to go to a service in Westminster on Friday, attended by the Pope and the Archbishop of Canterbury.
But Dr Hamilton said he turned down the opportunity to be presented to the Pope after the service because of "troubling issues" which needed to be addressed.
He insisted his decision was not a snub to Catholics or Pope Benedict XVI.
He said he had changed his plans in order to accept an invitation to attend Friday's ceremony because he wanted to show "proper respect to the Roman Catholic people of Ireland and their leader"."
Staff Writer for BBC World News (Based in Great Britain; Not Independent of the State; Secular/General British Special Interests Coverage)
14 / 09 | September / 2010: "Presbyterian Moderator refuses to shake the Pope's hand"
He goes on to claim that Ireland's Catholics are traumatized and distrust the Catholic church, and that that is why he will not shake the pope's hand. A handshake is a basic greeting, anyone who refuses to give it is snubbing the other individual. Pope Benedict XVI, is personally responsible, since given the power in around 2001: for making sex abuse cases be dealt with properly. He is also responsible for the recent scandal revelations, prompted by the actions of the hierarchy itself.


Royal-Pedic Natural Cotton Mattresses, Box springs, Mattress pads and toppers. Twin, Twin XL, Full, Queen, California King, Eastern King Mattresses. Organic cotton bed set includes Royal-Pedic mattress and box spring. Doctors Note Required. Frame and organic mattress pads Sold separately.
8.5-9" thick 630 coil w/ multiple layers of hand tufted organic cotton padding covered in 100% organic cotton ticking, no fire retardant chemicals.
Once your order is placed, please fax your MD's prescription to us at 276-466-4701 referencing your order confirmation number.
Royal-Pedic handcrafted, organic cotton mattresses are carefully constructed to offer you the best quality and most natural mattress available today to provide a healthy, restful sleeping experience. The Natural Organic Cotton Mattress features multiple layers of pristine, organic staple cotton padding that is free of chemical sprays and fire retardant. The layers of organic cotton padding surround Royal-Pedic's 630i innerspring system, and are supported by a 10oz. heavy duty organic cotton fabric to prevent the cotton from pocketing into the coils. This mattress is very firm and offers great orthopedic support. The overall height to the floor of a complete bed set is approximately 23'; 8' mattress, 7¾' box spring and optional 7 ¼' metal frame. This organic cotton mattress is very firm and we highly recommend the purchase of the 2' or 4' organic mattress topper for added comfort.
A doctor's note is required for the purchase of this Royal-Pedic organic model because it does not contain any fire retardant or Wool Wrap (natural fire retardant) so it does not pass Federal fire standards. To avoid having to obtain a doctor's note see one of our other organic mattress models, like the Royal-Pedic Natural Organic Cotton with Wool Wrap. View all of our Royal-Pedic Mattresses, Box Springs, Bed Sets, and Mattress Pads/Toppers.
T-Spring Side Supports: are installed around the perimeter of the innerspring system to provide edge firmness and support. The T-Spring side supports are a strong and safe alternative to foam cylinders or wedges made from petrochemicals used in many mattresses.
Organic Cotton Padding: hand layered on each side of the innerspring unit to ensure a consistent, supportive sleeping surface. Organic cotton is free of flame retardants, chemical sprays and fertilizers, and does not emit the petrochemical vapors contained in polyurethane foam that can adversely affect a person's health.
Organic Cotton Canvas Coil Protection: the layers of organic cotton padding are supported by our heavy duty, 10oz. 100% organic cotton canvas fabric to prevent the cotton from pocketing into the coils. In comparison, many brands of mattresses use a support pad that is comprised of ground up scraps of various synthetic scraps of materials that are glued to a nylon webbed backing.
Organic Cotton Cover: the inner organic cotton padding is encased in our 100% organic cotton ticking woven in the U.S. and Peru, which ventilates body heat, is free of chemicals, and is durable. In contrast, most brands of mattresses use shinny polyester fabrics that contain dangerous chemical flame retardant.
No Fire Retardant: this organic cotton mattress is not treated with any fire retardant nor does it have a wool wrap which acts as a natural fire retardant. A doctor's note is required to purchase this mattress since it does not pass Federal fire laws.
Hand Tufted: the mattress is hand tufted the old fashioned way with European tufting straps to further pre-compress the organic cotton padding for orthopedic back support. We do not use buttons to tuft our mattresses because buttons have a tendency to turn on their side creating an uncomfortable sleeping surface.
Optional Organic Mattress Pads: since this mattress is very firm, we highly recommend the purchase of either the 2' or 4' Royal-Pedic Organic Pillowtop mattress pad for added cushioning, luxurious comfort, and additional pressure point relief to hips and shoulders for the ultimate in rest and relaxation. Sold separately below.
Optional Heavy Duty Metal Bed Frame: good quality metal bed frame is 7' high and designed perfectly to hold a Royal-Pedic mattress and box spring set. Sold separately below.
Warranty: Manufacturer warranties item against defects in both material and workmanship. 10 years for mattresses/boxsprings. 5 years for pillowtop pads.
Option: Removal and disposal of old mattress/boxspring is available for $100 per bed set. Please place a removal order using the last "order" button on this page for the service.
*Organic mattresses require a doctor's note. The mattress contains no flame-retardant chemicals. Please fax (276-466-4701) or send the doctor's note to AllergyBuyersClub.com after placing your order so we are able to finalize your order and schedule delivery.

North Carolina lawmakers consider closing 'legal loophole' on rape
The bill missed a legislative 'crossover' deadline
By AJ Willingham, CNN
Posted: 5:01 AM, June 02, 2019 Updated: 5:01 AM, June 02, 2019

The state capitol in Raleigh, North Carolina.
(CNN) - A bill languishing in the North Carolina state senate could clarify the state's definition of sexual consent and close what some are calling a "legal loophole" for rape.
North Carolina is the only state where you can't legally withdraw consent once a sex act has started, says Democratic state Sen. Jeff Jackson. He's the primary sponsor of SB 563.
Marital rape is no longer legal in Minnesota with new law
Gloria Allred says she had abortion after she was raped at gunpoint
Ala. Senate Dem: Abortion bill passage 'raped women'
"I think the importance of this issue is self-evident," Jackson tells CNN. "I just don't think we can defend a loophole in our rape law that allows this."
Even though Jackson says there's strong bipartisan support for SB 563, it wasn't addressed in time for the state Senate's crossover deadline. Now, the only way the bill can be passed this year, Jackson says, is if it is added as an amendment to another bill.
It's based on a 1979 case
Currently, the state's stance on sexual consent is based on a precedent decided in a 1979 case of sexual assault.
In the decision, a North Carolina Supreme Court Justice stated "If the actual penetration is accomplished with the woman's consent, the accused is not guilty of rape, although he may be guilty of another crime because of his subsequent actions."
In other words, once consent is given, it cannot legally be taken away.
The language of SB 563 would change that, allowing a person to withdraw legal consent once a sexual act began.
"A person who consents to vaginal intercourse or to a sexual act can withdraw that consent at any time during the course of that vaginal intercourse or sexual act," the bill reads.
"A defendant who continues the act of vaginal intercourse after consent is withdrawn is deemed to have committed the act of vaginal intercourse by force and against the will of the other person. A defendant who continues the sexual act after consent is withdrawn is deemed to have committed the sexual act by force and against the will of the other person."
The only state among 50
When discussing the difference between North Carolina's legal framing of consent and the rest of the country's, Jackson points to research conducted by the University of North Carolina School of Government that concludes North Carolina is the only state that specifically disallows revoking consent.
"What you'll see is that a number of states ... don't address this specifically in their law," Jackson says. "According to reviews that have been done, North Carolina is the only state that affirmatively limits consent in this way."
The 40-year-old precedent has attracted national criticism for years.
Jackson has been trying to pass legislation addressing the issue since 2015.
"In the conversations that I've had, people are overwhelmingly supportive of closing this loophole, and why wouldn't they be?" he says. "I have yet to have a conversation with a legislator that doesn't support it either."

Mike Colter discusses the cancellation of Marvel's Luke Cage
January 5, 2019 by Gary Collinson Leave a Comment
Last year, Netflix swung the axe on three of its Marvel shows in Daredevil, Iron Fist, and Luke Cage, and now Mike Colter has been speaking about the latter's cancellation, with the Power Man actor revealing to Comic Book that the news wasn't entirely unexpected, despite the fact that work was already underway on a third season.
"It kinda did catch me off guard," said Colter. "I don't think I was as shocked as most people were because I was a little closer to it. There were some things, some tell tale signs, that were not quite feeling right for me. Although we had an internal pick up, amongst a certain amount of people who were close to the project, and we were moving forward with the writing and writing the group writers room, et cetera. There was a lot of stalling. There was a lot of things that didn't feel quite right. Then, deadlines. One deadline would come and it would go. Another deadline would come, it would go. There were some things that started to feel a little odd. So, when it happened, I was like, 'Eh.' It wasn't that much of a shock. But yeah, still shock."
"I don't know that it's something that fans can do, necessarily," he continued, addressing the possibility of a revival off the back of strong fan support. "I think it's a real network/studio thing. I think it'll resolve itself, one way or the other. There just needs to be some time. Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe that's it. But I don't think the fans… as much as the fans — the outpouring of the fans is very touching and well received and it'd be appreciated — I don't think it's gonna make anything happen, but it's nice to know that. I think, ultimately, if it comes back, it'll probably come back because of the fans demand for it. I don't think that their work is going in vain. It just may not happen as soon as they want it to."
Fans have been hoping that Disney's upcoming streaming service Disney+ could revive the cancelled series, and while Disney+ chief Kevin Mayer has stated that it is "a possibility", the platform is already developing a number of original Marvel shows through Marvel Studios, including Loki, Vision and the Scarlet Witch, and Falcon and the Winter Soldier.
Meanwhile, it's also been reported that Netflix's contracts with its Marvel cast members prohibit them from reprising their roles for two years following cancellation, which would presumably make things very difficult for Disney+ or any other outlet in terms of getting the cast and crews of each show back together without any major scheduling issues with talent. Still, at least no one is ruling anything out so far, so we can continue to hope…

A huge deer leg had been cleaved in half under a single strike of Luo Xiu's knife.
Steam, meat juice and fat spilled out along the cut.
A great fragrance filled the entire Nine Gates Kitchen.
Ye Weilin was shocked, but Wang Zhe was more puzzled than shock. Just why did this weird guy cut his deer leg in half all of a sudden?!
Just looking at how much of this excellent meat was wasted really hurts him.
Such a waste, ah, such a waste!
And here Wang Zhe was wondering what the big deal was.
Luo Xiu felt that the people in this world have a terrible tendency to waste food.
To only utilize a third of a whole deer leg.
Wang Zhe picked up his knife and cut a piece of flesh from the inner part of the meat. When he present it to Luo Xiu, there was a faint light gleaming from it, clearly it was still spiritual food.
Wang Zhe was even more stunned. This guy was clearly just an ordinary chef, why does it seemed like he could he just see through everything?
In fact, the inner part of the meat was as Luo Xiu said. Whatever spiritual energy there was the result of his own spiritual flames combined with the high quality wild venison meat.
Only, this kind of matter was somewhat… shameful for Wang Zhe to admit, ah!
He had yet to fully master this dish… if his father, Wang Xi, were to create this dish, the flavour from spices and seasoning would have permeated through the entire leg, including the inner part of the meat.
Wang Zhe had only just broken through as a Divine Chef, so he obviously could not produce the same result as his father.
Luo Xiu closed his eyes as he envisioned Wang Zhe's cooking in his mind. Thanks to his Divine Tongue, he could more or less deduced it in its entirety.
The fruit of the Whisker Flower Grass has a flavour that's quite close to earth's pepper.
The normal procedure for barbecue is to apply salt and pepper first and let it stand for a while for the seasoning to seep in before any kind of oil should be applied.
Wang Zhe stared at Luo Xiu with some suspicion… was this guy a demon?!
That guy must have peeked at him while he cooked!
Otherwise, how else would he have known Wang Zhe's cooking process so clearly?
Even the total time of his marination… what was more horrifying was that this Luo Xiu could even guess application of spices and oil and which come first, just how!!?
Was it just the result of wild guesses?
In this world 'matsutake' is not the normal pine mushrooms found in Japan, but a plant that has a garlic like odour with an especially sweet and fragrant smell. It's a type of spice in the Country of Fine Cuisine that went especially well with meat.
Luo Xiu continued to break down Wan Zhe's barbecued venison and pointing out its short comings.
The longer Wang Zhe hear this, the more shocked he became!
When the criticism finally came to a conclusion, his face was completely distorted.
Every point mentioned by Luo Xiu all seemed quite valid!
This guy did not peek at him while he cooked, it was all based on guesswork… and not merely some idle guesswork but incomparable deductive work, it was as though he had personally witnessed the entire cooking process.
It was all spot on!
The comment regarding the roasting of meat after the application of Jade Linden Oil and Whisker Flower Grass was exactly the part he was weakest at!
Luo Xiu continued to expound on his explanation, using words that Wang Zhe could understand.
In the realm of barbecue, there is something called the Maillard Reaction, also known as 'non-enzymatic browning' which was proposed by a French chemist in 1912.
What's so useful about it?
It actually explains heating technique using scientific method.
Raw meat has no particular fragrance, only through cooking and grilling that meat became fragrant… when heat is added, a complex series of chemical reactions occurred between the amino acid groups and sugar which results in volatile aroma.
These kinds of reactions will produce different kinds of result in terms of colour and fragrance, both desirable and otherwise.
As for the optimum heating point for best results, well, even now the scientists were busy arguing over this matter.
Luo Xiu had studied the science of cooking along with Chinese cooking in his past life.
Naturally, the chefs from the Country of Fine Cuisine would not be able to use the colour of cooked meat to guess the heating technique behind it, but Luo Xiu could!
Light brown, dark brown, scorched… each type of colour represents how long the meat is cooked and how hot the fire, in other words — heating technique!
Luo Xiu looked at the dumbstrucked Wang Zhe.
When Luo Xiu said this, Wang Zhe was finally convinced.
When someone said that a dish tasted terrible, normally it was to insult a chef; however, when it was followed by the proper explanation of why it did not taste good, good chefs would feel respect for the person who said this… and truly believed that what they had made tasted bad, and allowed a chef to improve himself.
Wang Zhe could not resist a final question, though he knew that Luo Xiu himself has great cooking prowess have no need to steal anyone's technique.
However, he still couldn't quite believe it, ah!
How could a person be so awesome?
To spot so many holes in his most spiritually powerful dish!?
Luo Xiu really had a resentful expression on his face, this had really fallen way below his expectations.
Wang Zhe thought that Luo Xiu had intentionally trapped him in order to humiliate him.
Luo Xiu was really disappointed.
He really hadn't expect this Country of Fine Cuisine to really treat spices as merely aids to cultivation.
If Wang Zhe's cooking style represents the norm in this world, then, the premise of cooking in this world was based on spiritual energy and cultivation only.
Spiritual food was the most delicious food.
With this kind of mentality, as long as a dish came out flashy (literally), it's considered a pass.
Luo Xiu actually felt heartbroken for the ingredients of this world, he looked at Wang Zhe with deeply hurt eyes.
As someone who had just ascended to the level of Divine Chef, being able to create spiritual food was already something amazing.
There were plenty of Kitchen Xiuzhen who reached that level without being able to create spiritual food for a long time.
Not everyone was like Luo Xiu who has experience backed with science, not to mention a true talent from a family made up of generations of great chefs!
In other words, he was unique in the world of great cuisines.
Luo Xiu said suddenly, this earth-shattering word was said just like that.
From head to toe, a calm freezing resolve enveloped him.
Luo Xiu looked at Wang Zhe, a very suspicious smile on his face.
Being stared at by that weird gaze, Wang Zhe felt all the hairs on his nape lifted up.
This guy… wh- what is he going to do to me?!
 Maillard Reaction – The explanation is a bit lacking, so here's a link for those who are interested!
Forceful acquisition of an apprentice. His dad will be delighted!

"Addressing extreme poverty and hunger around the world." These are two goals that have not ceased to appear on "good-practicing and well-intentioned" international institutions' agendas for several decades. If these objectives are really on the agenda - 800 million people suffer from hunger around the world, of which 2/3 are country people, and according to the FAO [1], more than two billion do not eat enough to have an active life - then the methods applied to achieve them should be the focus.
The World Bank and the New Green Revolution (NGR)
"Value-chain Agriculture" and the spiral of indebtness
Impacts: Towards a New Ecological Debt
Subsistence Agriculture towards Agro-ecology for an Ecological and Social Transition
Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) is particularly affected by these issues today. Foremost, 23.2% of its population suffer from malnutrition, and 42.7% live on less than US $1.90 per day. [2] Additionally, more than 60% of the Sub-Saharan population reside in rural environments, [3] while 90% of the agricultural production in this region comes from family food-producing farming. [4] Above all, the World Bank World Bank
WB The World Bank was founded as part of the new international monetary system set up at Bretton Woods in 1944. Its capital is provided by member states' contributions and loans on the international money markets. It financed public and private projects in Third World and East European countries.
It consists of several closely associated institutions, among which :
1. The International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (IBRD, 189 members in 2017), which provides loans in productive sectors such as farming or energy ;
2. The International Development Association (IDA, 159 members in 1997), which provides less advanced countries with long-term loans (35-40 years) at very low interest (1%) ;
3. The International Finance Corporation (IFC), which provides both loan and equity finance for business ventures in developing countries.
As Third World Debt gets worse, the World Bank (along with the IMF) tends to adopt a macro-economic perspective. For instance, it enforces adjustment policies that are intended to balance heavily indebted countries' payments. The World Bank advises those countries that have to undergo the IMF's therapy on such matters as how to reduce budget deficits, round up savings, enduce foreign investors to settle within their borders, or free prices and exchange rates.
(WB) has designated SSA as the main focus for applying an agricultural model that, according to it, would address the food problems found in this region.
In its "World Development Report 2008", the WB made agriculture the mainstay for reducing poverty and hunger in SSA and intends to lead its new 'green revolution'. [5] This version "2.0" of the 1960s agricultural "revolution" in Asia and Latin America actually corresponds much more to the establishment of a productivist and extractive model intended to enrich multinational corporations and ensure the Western powers' control instead of an emancipatory perspective for local people. This is an agribusiness model which comes with the usual destructive package: GM crops, chemical inputs and pesticides. Supported by the G8 G8 Group composed of the most powerful countries of the planet: Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the UK and the USA, with Russia a full member since June 2002. Their heads of state meet annually, usually in June or July. (New Alliance for Food Security), northern development agencies (USAID, DFID, AFD, etc.) and their institutional, international and African relays (UN, ADB, NEPAD, AU), various philanthrocapitalist foundations (Gates and AGRA, Rockefeller, Yara) and leaders of the food industry (Unilever, McDonald's, Coca-Cola, Cargill, etc.) and agro-petrochemical industry (Monsanto, Syngenta, Pioneer, Bayer, etc.), the NGR spreads its tentacles to impose agribusiness. With the creation and funding of pseudo agricultural research centres on biosafety (AfricaBio, etc.), and pseudo peasant organisations (FANRPAN, etc.), the NGR pressures governments on two fundamental levels in more than 15 countries. [6] The first is the transformation of the land laws. SSA is mostly devoid of land registers. Land securitisation is essential for investors wishing to grab large stretches of arable land belonging to farmers and develop huge monocultures. The second is the transformation of seed laws to establish a seed catalogue (all GM crops), allowing commercialised production, all while banning the same so called "informal" smallholder seeds outside and inside these countries. [7]
A "new green revolution" transforms smallholding farmers into agricultural labourers in the hands of private financial interests
These changes, not unlike those led by the CAP in Europe, account considerably for a dismantling of smallholder agriculture. Indeed, if the World Bank recognises that small scale farming "can give hundreds of millions of poor rural people ways to escape poverty [...]", it intends to lead a "revolution with a productivity standard" by developing "commercial farms with intensive labour [...] [through] public-private partnerships (PPP) to promote competition in the agribusiness sector and encourage greater inclusion of small farmers and agricultural workers". [8] In other words, this agri-industrial model means a disappearance of smallholders in favour of contract farming which allows them to be included in "value chain agriculture" (VCA). [9]
The VCA is the other spearhead of the NGR. The transformation of the smallholding agricultural workers allows agribusiness to integrate them, at their expense, with the financial interests of international agribusiness. The "latter" (about 'smallholding agricultural workers'), in effect, are relegated to the last link of this misnamed "value chain." If we guess exactly the economic profits that private interests can generate, the inverse with regard to smallholding farmers is far less tangible.
In being absorbed in this way, the smallholders are totally dependent on VCA, and they lose the de facto access and control of their land and its production (transformation into monoculture Monoculture When one crop alone is cultivated. Many countries of the South have been induced to specialize in the production of a commodity for export (cotton, coffee, cocoa, groundnuts, tobacco, etc.) to procure hard currency for debt repayments. ), income (wage-earning and increased competition) as well as traditional and cultural expertise. Indeed, the model supported by the NGR and agribusiness are completely opposes the agricultural model(s) in place. Small 2-hectare plots are devoured by large intensive farms, and polycultures and small livestock farms that provide diverse income are disappearing in favour of monocultures. Local crops (millet, sorghum, etc.) are being replaced by GM cash crops (cotton, corn, wheat, etc.). Thus, this model accomplished the feat, in the name of reducing poverty and hunger in the world, promoting land grabbing, developing export farming, promoting biofuels, disguising eating habits by producing foreign crops in the Sub-Saharan basin, while depriving farmers both of their sources of income and food production. [10]
The impact on these communities is obviously significant, and by taking advantage of the most unequal power dynamic, agri-food industries play a game where debt represents a key mechanism. Trapped in the VCA, the now agricultural labourers find themselves in competition with each other, where previously it was a question of preserving social peace through diversity, and having more autonomy in the face of global food prices, where the food surpluses were previously sold or traded locally. Faced with insufficient income, [11] showing once again if need be that there is no real link between increasing agricultural production and reducing inequalities of wealth and poverty in the world, these small operations have access to credits, disingenuously proposed/imposed by their employers, and find themselves locked in a spiral of indebtness of which we know the power of submission. These debts are simply illegitimate, since the power balance Balance End of year statement of a company's assets (what the company possesses) and liabilities (what it owes). In other words, the assets provide information about how the funds collected by the company have been used; and the liabilities, about the origins of those funds. very clearly favours the creditor, and most of all, the debtor does not draw any benefit. Moreover, by transposing the doctrine of odious debt, these debts should be cancelled because they are incurred in the creditors' particular interest Interest An amount paid in remuneration of an investment or received by a lender. Interest is calculated on the amount of the capital invested or borrowed, the duration of the operation and the rate that has been set. , all while knowing beforehand the disposition of these debtors.
This agricultural model, whose underlying essence is the asymmetrical relationship between the smallholders and the other actors of the VCA, has serious impacts on the social fabric. By creating competition among farmers, it destroys social capital [12] (i.e. collective organisation), while subjecting them to the dictates of competition and elasticity. On an ecological and climatic level, negative externalities are immense. Between, on the one hand, the use of GM crops and pesticides that destroy biodiversity while contaminating neighbouring crops and the impoverishment and erosion of soils by monocultures, and on the other hand, the use of chemical inputs which increases dependence on the oil industry, this 'new' 'green' 'revolution', in name only, responds foremost to a profit Profit The positive gain yielded from a company's activity. Net profit is profit after tax. Distributable profit is the part of the net profit which can be distributed to the shareholders. -hungry neo-liberal ideology. To conclude this fast range of impacts, let's not forget the serious consequences that the planned disappearance of the traditional seed knowledge passed from generation to generation has on ecological and cultural levels. In addition, we now know today that their varied diversity and their natural ability to change guarantees Guarantees Acts that provide a creditor with security in complement to the debtor's commitment. A distinction is made between real guarantees (lien, pledge, mortgage, prior charge) and personal guarantees (surety, aval, letter of intent, independent guarantee). adaptation and resistance to the climatic and natural hazards. Remember also, that smallholders' seeds are absolutely useful, since Africa is the continent most vulnerable to climate change. Ultimately, the NGR and the WB cause the accumulation of a new ecological debt of which they are already historical debtors.
If it is not correct to draw up an ecological and climatic plan with an idyllic image of food agriculture and family (slash and burn farming, short and long term vision, etc.), we should nevertheless address the benefits. It is above all a small-scale family polyculture (less than 2 ha), which is subject to many criteria and does not meet a simple financial goal. Faced with hazards of climatic, economic and political standing, each plot follows a guide [13] that allows a spur of food production, generating just enough income for the family unit. Moreover, it ensures the transmission of traditional and local knowledge and practices, first at the level of seeds, then at the level of field practices and understanding. Finally, the problems faced by this agriculture are more related to a lack of a transportation network, of access and control over land, as well as sustainable management of granaries.
Therefore, food agriculture and family is close to several aspects of agroecology and could be linked together by optimising its management. Soil health and fertility must be greatly improved by creating more biodiversity, while stopping non-organic inputs in favour of organic inputs. Similarly, better water management must be achieved with conservation standard, all while perfecting irrigation systems. In comparison, this agriculture must diversify by reproducing natural mechanisms that can be found in agroforestry, permaculture, in aquaculture and/or integrated farming. The efficiency and benefits of agroecology compared to agribusiness, also in terms of production and the social scene, have been demonstrated many times. [14] Agroecology, allows simultaneously a sustainable management of natural resources, promotes social and collective organisation of farmers, greatly improves revenues, all while having a significant impact on access, use and control of land by all. Ultimately, many ingredients needed for a transition to both ecological and social development. Other essential elements need to be added, including a strong and solid peasant movement, organised jointly with the help of Via Campesina, forcing sub-Saharan African States to undertake sustainable agrarian policies in line with the needs of all.
