Michael "Mike" S. Deak (* 18. März 1960 in New Jersey) ist ein US-amerikanischer Schauspieler, Filmproduzent, Maskenbildner und Spezialeffektkünstler.

Leben
Deak begann seine Schauspielkarriere ab 1985 zuerst mit der Darstellung von Nebenrollen in sogenannten Splatterfilmen und Horrorfilmen. 1988 spielte er in Underground Werewolf den Antagonist, einen Werwolf. Er hatte zwar in den folgenden Jahren Besetzungen in anderen Genres, blieb aber Filmen oder Fernsehserien mit übernatürlichen Inhalt treu. In die Rolle eines Werwolfes schlüpfte er 2007 in den Rodriguez-Tarantino Film Grindhouse und dem dazugehörigen Kurzfilm Werewolf Women of the S.S. (der eine Art Fake-Trailer zu Grindhouse ist). 2009 war zuletzt in einem Film, Halloween II, zu sehen. Parallel zu seiner Schauspielkarriere arbeitete Deak in unregelmäßigen Abständen auch als Filmproduzent, überwiegend in assistierender Funktion und war zwischen 1986 und 2011 an 12 Filmen beteiligt, die sich überwiegend den Horrorfilmen zuordnen lassen. Seit Mitte der 1980er Jahre arbeitet er als Maskenbildner und Spezialeffektkünstler und war an namhaften Filmen wie From Beyond – Aliens des Grauens, Jack Frost – Der eiskalte Killer, Hulk, Fluch der Karibik, Bad Boys II, Lemony Snicket – Rätselhafte Ereignisse, Die Insel, Die Chroniken von Narnia: Der König von Narnia, Transformers, Transformers – Die Rache oder Tron: Legacy in verschiedenen filmkünstlerischen Tätigkeiten beteiligt.

Home Dwight Howard Lakers Vs. Suns Preview & TV Info: Dwight Howard & Talen Horton-Tucker Return
Lakers Vs. Suns Preview & TV Info: Dwight Howard & Talen Horton-Tucker Return
(Photo by Andrew D. Bernstein/NBAE via Getty Images)
David Fizdale Believes Trevor Ariza Will Bring More Versatility To Lakers
The Los Angeles Lakers are approaching their biggest test of the season at an unfortunate time, heading for the clash with the Phoenix Suns while dealing with a coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak.
L.A. received good news early in the day of the NBA blockbuster. Talen Horton-Tucker and Dwight Howard have tested out of the NBA's health and safety protocols and will face the Suns on Tuesday — only two days after Los Angeles took on the Chicago Bulls with just nine players cleared to make an appearance.
But they will still have to cope without Avery Bradley, Malik Monk, Austin Reaves, Kent Bazemore, Kendrick Nunn and Anthony Davis. Only the last two have been ruled out with non-coronavirus-related health issues.
Impressively, no Sun will miss the game due to COVID-19. However, knee injuries will prevent Frank Kaminsky, Abdel Nader and Dario Saric from playing in the game.
Chris Paul's arrival in Phoenix helped the Suns establish themselves as an NBA powerhouse last season. The team has only proved that status this year, going into the night as the Western Conference's leaders with a league-best 24-5 record.
They own the fifth-best offense and third-best defense, boasting the highest field goal percentage (47.8%), fourth-best efficiency from the 3-point land (36.8%) as well as the fourth-highest average in assists (26.3 per game), and the fifth-best in steals (8.6).
Devin Booker has only built on his All-Star performance from the previous two seasons, registering a career-best 3-point percentage (40.9%) while scoring 22.9 points per game in 2021-22. Meanwhile, Mikal Bridges and Deandre Ayton are continuing their fine form after both enjoyed their breakout seasons in the previous campaign.
The above stats and facts mean LeBron James will again have his hands full, orchestrating the L.A.'s offense and defense in the first game back at Staples Center since Dec. 12. James did his best to carry the understaffed Lakers in the clash against the Bulls with 31 points, 14 rebounds, six assists, and two blocks on the night.
He did receive plenty of help from Carmelo Anthony — shooting 5-for-12 from deep off the bench to finish the night with 21 points — and Russell Westbrook — who nearly got another triple-double under his belt with 20 points, nine rebounds, and eight assists.
Isaiah Thomas wrapped up the Lakers-in-double-digits list, chipping in 13 points in his first start of the season.
But still, considering the circumstances, the James-Westbrook duo will need at least as much — if not more — support from their teammates if they want to surprise the Suns.
Howard could immediately jump into the Lakers' starting lineup as even David Fizdale gave up on the starting five with DeAndre Jordan in it when he took charge of L.A. on Sunday. So could Horton-Tucker, replacing Thomas among the starters to boost the Lakers' vulnerable defense against the Booker-Paul-Ayton triumvirate.
After finally making his season debut in the loss to the Bulls, Trevor Ariza said the Lakers will deal with all the adversity by playing with even more determination when on the court.
Perhaps that could be their most dangerous weapon on Tuesday night besides having James lead the way.
Because now more than ever, they will be the underdogs when they face the Suns — but as they have experienced this season, the underdog status can sometimes be particularly empowering in the NBA.

Gardenhire says he'd welcome Punto back
Twins manager Ron Gardenhire says Nick Punto always has a place on his roster. He told the Pioneer Press that he didn't want the utility infielder to "leave in the first place." Punto signed a one-year deal last winter with the St. Louis Cardinals, who just won the World Series.
Punto a Twin again?
Sure, he's newly-minted world champion, but should the Twins bring back utility infielder Nick Punto? According to the Star Tribune, he's one of five free agents Minnesota may be targeting this off-season.
Cards vs. Rangers: starring ex-Twins Lohse, Punto, Washington
Besides Nick Punto and Ron Washington, there will another familiar face on the St. Louis Cardinals' World Series roster. Former Twins pitcher Kyle Lohse is scheduled to start Game 4. Lohse has been with the Cards the past four seasons. He's winless so far in two starts this postseason.
Cuddyer pulling for Punto, Cardinals in World Series
Twins outfielder Michael Cuddyer says he's rooting for Nick Punto and the St. Louis Cardinals to win the World Series over Texas. Both were teammates for seven years here. Cuddyer, who will likely test the free agent market after the Series is over, calls Punto a "stud."
Nick Punto's Cards head to World Series
Delmon Young? Sorry, yesterday's story. The ex-Twin to stalk this week is Nick Punto, who in a reserve role finds himself on the World Series-bound St. Louis Cardinals.
Nick Punto, unsung hero in Game 1
He didn't drive in a run, but ex-Twin Nick Punto was certainly a factor in the Cardinals' 3-2 win over Texas Wednesday in Game 1 of the World Series.
Punto, Cards self-destruct in Game 5
A frustrating game for ex-Twin Nick Punto last night. He stranded three runners in scoring position in the Cardinals' 4-2 Game 5 World Series loss to Texas. The Rangers are one win away from their first world title.
Gardenhire and Smith will be back next year
Twins owner Jim Pohlad said Monday that manager Ron Gardenhire and general manager Bill Smith would both be back with the team next year despite an awful 2011 season. Pohlad blamed the disappointing season on a "perfect storm" of injuries.
Even Gardenhire was hurt last year
Give Ron Gardenhire credit for managing nearly every game in 2011. The Twins' skipper managed through an elbow injury that forced him under the knife Monday. Gardenhire underwent a procedure to remove bone chips in his elbow. He joked that he suffered the injury scratching his head.

An intense Pacific storm brought record-setting rain as well as snow to Southern California on Thursday, forcing mandatory evacuations in the Holy fire burn area, shutting down the Grapevine on the 5 Freeway for hours and clogging roads throughout the area with traffic, mud flows and rock slides.
Rain measured by midafternoon at the University of Southern California station in Los Angeles reached 1.90 inches, beating the previous record of 1.01 inches set on Dec. 6, 1997, the National Weather Service said in a tweet.
Fire officials rescued two people from flood-control washes in Los Angeles County — one man in Panorama City in the morning and a man in La Habra in the afternoon.
Over the past two days, Orange County saw as much as three to four inches of rain in some areas, such as Corona Del Mar and at the John Wayne Airport in Santa Ana, the National Weather Service also said.
A Southwest Airlines flight landing at Hollywood Burbank Airport rolled off the end of a runway in the morning but was stopped when the aircraft hit an emergency area designed to slow down runaway planes. There were no reports of injuries.
It's not clear yet what caused the plane to lose control. But a passenger on board said on Twitter that the aircraft appeared to hydroplane when it hit the rain-slicked runway.
The 5 Freeway through the Grapevine area near Tejon Pass was shut down for hours Thursday as snow fell on motorists. Caltrans shut down the roadway in the area — about 9 a.m. — and reported cars sliding on the roads in the Lebec and Grapevine areas. An aerial view showed trucks and cars jammed along the roadway.
By 3 p.m. all lanes had reopened, however, Caltrans encouraged drivers to use caution when traveling through the area.

The weather service lifted a flash flood advisory early in the afternoon for the Woolsey fire area in northwest Los Angeles and southern Ventura counties.
But the weather remained brutal to the south.
About 20 people needed help from Cal Fire Riverside in escaping flooded areas surrounding their homes just northeast of Lake Elsinore on Thursday afternoon.
Capt. Fernando Herrera, spokesman for Cal Fire Riverside, said people were stranded on Cobblestone Road, near Grand Avenue and Toft Drive in Lake Elsinore.
"The only reason they were stranded was because of the debris flow. They couldn't drive out, and neither could we," Herrera said.

Nearby, a mudflow threatened to flood the Larson Road garage of Janice Brown for the second time in a week, even though the Lake Elsinore home is more than a mile from the Holy fire burn area.
However, son Adam Smith, 34, piled sandbags along the curb, allowing the mudflow to continue onto Machado Street.
"We had to stack the sandbags higher and higher and higher" as the water level rose, Smith said. "From now on we're just going toprepare."
Flash flood warnings that were in effect until 7 p.m. for Riverside and San Bernardino counties were followed by a flash flood watch until midnight that includes most of those counties as well as coastal Orange and San Diego counties — most of southwestern California. Rainfall of up to one inch an hour was possible for some areas, the weather service said.
The areas include the Holy fire and the Canyon complex burn areas.

Authorities in Orange and Riverside counties ordered mandatory evacuations for some communities in the Holy fire area.
Mud flows closed a large stretch of Pacific Coast Highway from Malibu to the Ventura County line until noon Thursday and rock slides closed the Angeles Crest Highway — Highway 2 — from Vincent Gulch Divide to San Gabriel Canyon Road, or Highway 39, until at least Saturday, Caltrans said.
In Riverside County, a key freeway merge point, the westbound 60 Freeway at the 10 Freeway in the San Gorgonio Pass was closed in the midst of the morning commute after a 13-vehicle accident at the Gilman Springs Road on-ramp. The SigAlert for the area was lifted around 8:30 a.m.
Flooding was reported throughout the area:
• A mudslide hit the Victory Boulevard offramp to the eastbound 170 Freeway in Hollywood, leading authorities to issue a SigAlert for the immediate area.
• In Orange County, waters rushed through Hart Park in Orange.

• Several cars were trapped early in rising waters near the Sepulveda Basin in Encino. Flooding was reported by the California Highway Patrol at the westbound 60 Freeway east of the 71 Freeway in Pomona.
• In Costa Mesa, the rain flooded streets and submerged vehicles. Firefighters had to rescue an elderly woman from her car after she and other driver's vehicles stalled in 1.5 feet of water that had accumulated near the intersection of 19th Street and Anaheim Avenue, according to Costa Mesa Fire & Rescue Capt. Chris Coates.
In the San Bernardino Mountains, chain requirements for vehicles were in force on Highway 38 from Heart Bar Campground to Hatchery Road, the CHP said. No chain requirements were in effect for mountains in Riverside County.
In the Angeles National Forest, Highway 2 was closed in both directions from Islip Saddle to Big Pines due to rock slides, and chains or snow tires were required from the San Bernardino-Los Angeles County line to the junction of Highway 138, Caltrans said.

The National Weather Service issued a winter storm warning for the San Bernardino Mountains and a winter weather advisory for Los Angeles and Ventura County mountains, both scheduled to end at midnight Thursday.
Forecasters expected snowfall of 2 to 6 inches in the San Bernardino Mountains, with up to 12 inches on the highest peaks. Los Angeles and Ventura County mountains were expected to see snow of 5 to 10 inches above 7,000 feet elevation.
In Big Bear Valley, heavy snow stripped some trees of their limbs and downed power lines, leaving portions of the area without power, the National Weather Service reported Thursday night. Big Bear Mountain is expected to receive three to seven inches of snow.
There was no winter advisory for the Riverside mountain community of Idyllwild, but rain is expected.
Rain and snow from the storm were forecast possibly into Friday for some areas.

Last week I wrote about baking 'Sugar and Spice Rings' on Sunday. This Sunday I did a little more baking but this time it was 'Tea Scones', a very basic recipe which I am sure most will know. I had taken an early morning walk before breakfast, just four miles as I hadn't been out for a walk for about two weeks and didn't want to overdo things. To be honest I was feeling quite tired by the time I had returned home. The day looked promising in the morning sunshine but it wasn't that particularly warm because of the cold slight breeze. When I went into the kitchen for breakfast E was sitting there having just eaten hers. After eating mine I sat on the patio with a coffee then spent some time digging out a few bluebells. Returning indoors I decided to do a little baking whilst E went upstairs to change. By the time she had come downstairs again I had the scones baked.
Place flour with salt in bowl and rub in the butter or margarine until the mixture is crumbly. Add sugar and fruit if used and mix. Add the milk (advise half of it at first) and thoroughly mix with ingredients until it becomes a firm but not sticky dough. Spread some flour onto a board or flat surface and place dough on it and knead for a couple of minutes then using a rolling-pin spread the dough till it is about 1/2 inch thick. Using a small circular pastry cutter, cut the dough and place each piece on a buttered metal tray. Brush each with milk and place in a hot oven (215 deg C) for ten to fifteen minutes.
Easy and tasty. The mixture will make about sixteen scones.
I did very little else on Sunday as on Monday I would be busy working again.


Along with regular oil changes, your vehicle manufacturer has a schedule for other maintenance. This is usually considered to be a minimum and the dealer may offer a different schedule. Some of the dealer schedules only consider how many months the vehicle has been in service and not how far it has gone.
We have the manufacturer's schedule of maintenance for most vehicles. Please call if you have questions about a maintenance schedule for your vehicle.
Our recommendation is usually right between the dealer's schedule and the manufacturer's. We may say to only come back twice a year if you do not drive very often.

First Person: How Wray Ward Fuels Curiosity and Creativity
Creative, Inspiration
Imagine a career that not only fosters your passions, skills and talents, but also inspires you to discover new ones. That's one sweet package, and at Wray Ward, it's what we want for all of our team members.
For a shining example, meet Griffin Glaze, motion/design director. Griffin joined Wray Ward as a production designer with an amazing college portfolio and a natural eye for visual storytelling. But that wasn't enough: When she realized she wanted to put her designs and thoughts in motion, Griffin transitioned to the agency's Motion team, where she could learn animation and video editing.
Get to know Griffin and learn how she's fueled her passion for design and motion through a mix of curiosity and creativity.
How did you get started in the creative marketing industry?
I went to Winthrop University for college, where I majored in graphic design. At first, I had no idea what I wanted to study, but my mom knew I loved working on the yearbook in high school, and she kind of nudged me toward design. From there, my knack for graphic design and my passion for learning how to better communicate visually took flight.
About a month after I graduated, I had the chance to join Wray Ward as a production designer. I immediately fell in love with the job, especially teaming up with the copywriters. I was also lucky to collaborate with more senior people at Wray Ward who mentored me and pushed me to develop my craft further through passion projects.
How did your early experiences at Wray Ward help lead to a career in animation?
A year and a half after joining the agency, I started to think: When I graduated, about a third of my portfolio was in video. And it was always an area that was interesting to me. I was especially drawn to the kind of work that our Motion team was doing at the time. They were creating interesting mini-series, following different designers and producing commercials, and I felt it would be a cool area to grow into. So, I asked for an internal move and began a new journey as a video content producer.
In those early days, I got to shoot, edit and help run audio. Meanwhile, I brought a graphic design approach to a lot of the work we were doing. I started to fall in love with the post-production side of things, such as taking a long interview and creating a story out of it or even helping a client break into animation.
Somewhere along the way, post-production became my forte. I already knew how to represent ideas through visual design, which helped me tell stories through video. From a series of profiles about real builders and their stories of craftsmanship, to an interactive journey that followed elite athletes as they chased their Olympic dreams, to the compelling, animated overview of a transformational program for girls, I've always loved telling a good story. My job gives me the opportunity to do that.
How does Wray Ward's new office help fuel your creative process?
Some of the best ideas happen right in the moment. Having The Studio on-site at Wray Ward and being able to go to set right down the hall from our desks allows our teams to collaborate even more. And with the agency's disciplines, from animation and design to content and public relations, so tightly connected, we're able to work together to craft brand stories that transcend all media.
How does the agency allow its people to discover and grow their unique talents?
I've been at Wray Ward for eight years. In that time, the agency has always given me new paths to take, different areas to explore or different places to go. I saw a specialty we didn't have, and when I pitched it, they were willing to invest in my idea and help grow it.
Later, when I felt like I needed to change my approach to creating, I forced myself out of my comfort zone. My leaders and mentors encouraged me to discover how a changing environment could affect my creativity as a designer and animator. And, after earning acceptance into a program called Remote Year, I did just that, working for Wray Ward in a different city, in a different part of the world, every month for 12 months.
Today, I work with a whole new perspective. The Remote Year experience took me to 17 different countries, fueling my natural curiosity and desire to create work that stands out and to answer a question we like to ask around here: "What if?"
Anytime there's an opportunity to take an idea and somehow bring it outside of yourself and express it in some way, I'm interested in learning how to do that and do it better, no matter the medium. My curiosity matches Wray Ward's in that sense. The agency has always been supportive of curiosity, and it provides its people with opportunities that nurture creativity.

A heart transplant is surgery to remove a person's diseased heart and replace it with a healthy heart from a deceased donor. Most heart transplants are done on patients who have end-stage heart failure. Heart failure is a condition in which the heart is damaged or weak. As a result, it can't pump enough blood to meet the body's needs. "End-stage" means the condition is so severe that all treatments, other than a heart transplant, have failed.
Heart transplants are done as a life-saving measure for end-stage heart failure. Because donor hearts are in short supply, patients who need heart transplants go through a careful selection process. They must be sick enough to need a new heart, yet healthy enough to receive it. Survival rates for people receiving heart transplants have improved, especially in the first year after the transplant. About 88 percent of patients survive the first year after transplant surgery, and 75 percent survive for 5 years. The 10-year survival rate is about 56 percent. After the surgery, most heart transplant patients can return to their normal levels of activity. However, less than 30 percent return to work for many different reasons.
The heart transplant process starts when doctors refer a patient who has end-stage heart failure to a heart transplant center. Staff members at the center assess whether the patient is eligible for the surgery. If the patient is eligible, he or she is placed on a waiting list for a donor heart. Heart transplant surgery is done in a hospital when a suitable donor heart is found. After the transplant, the patient is started on a lifelong health care plan. The plan involves multiple medicines and frequent medical checkups.
Just before heart transplant surgery, the patient will get general anesthesia (AN-es-THE-ze-ah). The term "anesthesia" refers to a loss of feeling and awareness. General anesthesia temporarily puts you to sleep.Surgeons use open-heart surgery to do heart transplants. The surgeon will make a large incision (cut) in the patient's chest to open the rib cage and operate on the heart.
The amount of time a heart transplant recipient spends in the hospital varies. Recovery often involves 1 to 2 weeks in the hospital and 3 months of monitoring by the transplant team at the heart transplant center. Monitoring may include frequent blood tests, lung function tests, EKGs (electrocardiograms), echocardiograms, and biopsies of the heart tissue. A heart biopsy is a standard test that can show whether your body is rejecting the new heart. This test is often done in the weeks after a transplant. During a heart biopsy, a tiny grabbing device is inserted into a vein in the neck or groin (upper thigh). The device is threaded through the vein to the right atrium of the new heart to take a small tissue sample. The tissue sample is checked for signs of rejection. While in the hospital, your health care team may suggest that you start a cardiac rehabilitation (rehab) program. Cardiac rehab is a medically supervised program that helps improve the health and well-being of people who have heart problems. Cardiac rehab includes counseling, education, and exercise training to help you recover. Rehab may start with a member of the rehab team helping you sit up in a chair or take a few steps. Over time, you'll increase your activity level.
You and the team also will work together to manage the transplant medicines and their side effects, prevent infections, and continue treatment of ongoing medical conditions. Your doctors may ask you to check your temperature, blood pressure, and pulse when you go home.
You'll need to take medicine to suppress your immune system so that it doesn't reject the new heart. These medicines are called immunosuppressants. Immunosuppressants are a combination of medicines that are tailored to your situation. Often, they include cyclosporine, tacrolimus, MMF (mycophenolate mofetil), and steroids (such as prednisone). Your doctors may need to change or adjust your transplant medicines if they aren't working well or if you have too many side effects.


The Overwatch World Cup is returning once again this year to see who is the best of the best in Blizzard's colorful arena shooter game -- and fans are getting more and more excited every day.
Blizzard announced its first World Cup in 2016, and pro players from across the globe came together at last year's BlizzCon to compete against one another. In this inaugural tournament, each national team fought hard to take the championship title, but South Korea walked away with the victory.
This year, with new players and teams in the pro circuit, it can be anyone's game.
We're just getting into the beginning stages of the World Cup, which will culminate at BlizzCon later this year. So there isn't too much information onthe big event yet -- but here's the breakdown on how this year's race for the World Cup is going to take off.
From March through April, players from around the world will test each other in competitive mode on Overwatch. As players continue to play, Blizzard keeps record of top 100 players' skills online, and uses those scores to average each country's rank. By the end of April, the first 32 high-ranked countries will be qualified to compete for the World Cup.
After the 32 countries are chosen, each country needs to form an Overwatch World Cup National Committee, which consists of three people in charge of roster picks during the competition matches and the finals. Blizzard asks for 10 expert nominees from each country, and qualified players then vote for whoever they want to choose the roster.
During the summer, eight global teams will go head-to-head at lives event throughout the whole week. But this year, the live stages are not just set in California. Four different live stages will happen across Europe, North America, and Asia. Only the two last standing teams will be moving on to the Overwatch World Cup Finals, which will take place in during BlizzCon 2017 on November 3-4 in Anaheim, California.
What Can Overwatch Fans Do to Support the World Cup?
Regardless of their skill level, fans can participate through Competitive Play. Playing competitive mode can boost a player's national ranking every time they win a battle. Fans can also support their country by watching scheduled matches online or buying a ticket to see the event.
For more info about the national ranks and where to watch their events, check out the official Ovewatch World Cup website.
Get in there heroes, and play Overwatch!


REVIEW: Little Bird Curious Confections – Fire Bites – I Love It Spicy!
The final touch was the name Little Bird — it comes from Corey's grandmother Fay whose name means Little Bird.
So, that's our story. We hope you enjoy our treats as much as we enjoy making them.


Who needs Broadway and the costs associated with it when you can experience theatrical greatness in your own backyard? The following small theater companies in Baltimore are sure to satisfy your appetite for theater— and in most cases, for less than $20 a ticket.
The Strand Theater Company "is dedicated to providing opportunities for women artists, writers, designers and directors. With a focus on producing original works, the Strand hopes to foster a love of theater for a new generation of patrons." The Strand welcomes female playwrights to submit original scripts to its annual Friends And Neighbors Festival: Works By Women.
The FPCT is the ultimate community theater, with education programs for youth and disadvantaged individuals, acting workshops and its new 10×10 playwrights festival. The FPCT also plays a major role in the annual Baltimore Playwrights Festival.
The Vagabond Players, located in Fells Point, is "America's Oldest Little Theatre," according to the theater's website. Established in 1916 during the popular "Little Theatre Movement," Vagabond's encouraged and produce the writings of a young and at the time, unknown Eugene O'Neill, as well as Arthur Schnitzler, and introduced Baltimore to new works by August Strindberg and Maurice Maeterlinck.


The revolving door in Washington, DC, allows lobbyists to become regulators and vice versa, and there may be no better example than the Federal Communications Commission.
FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler (a Democrat) is the former CEO of the cable industry's top lobbying group, while the current head of the cable lobby—Republican Michael Powell—used to be the FCC chairman. Though they have held the same jobs, Wheeler and Powell are at odds over how to regulate Internet service, with Powell, as CEO of the National Cable & Telecommunications Association (NCTA), leading the charge against his former agency.
More than a decade ago, Powell as FCC chairman ensured that broadband providers would not be regulated as common carriers, a decision that Wheeler essentially reversed this year when the FCC reclassified broadband as common carriage in order to impose net neutrality rules.


who do you think would win in a straight up fight? the spartan 2's (AKA Master Chief) from Halo, or the Alpha or Null Arcs from star wars?
Wrong section. Should be in the Death Star Forum.
Soldiers selected at birth, receiving years of genetic augmentations from child-hood to when they are first deployed (same rate of growth as a normal human) whilst undergoing rigorous spec-ops training. Combined with half-ton suits of armour that are capable of surviving a 2Km (almost 1.25 miles) drop from the air and have built in regenerative particle shields to compliment the suit's armour.
Basicly, a single Spartan II is the equivelant of a single Republic Commando squad.
ARC Trooper squads are usually in greater numbers than their Commando counterparts, and specialise in heavy weapons. For an ARC Squad (generic squad of ARCs) they'd have to outnumber a squad of Spartan's by a minimum of two-to-one. Even then, the ARCs would receive the proportion of losses, so it wouldn't exactly be a straight forward victory for them.
However, if it were a case of equal numbers...... Those ARCs would have no choice but to call in as many reinforcements as were available.
I can imagine. Spartan units are empowered like no other. My vote goes to Master Chief and the Spartan units.
well, if it came down to weaponry, the clones would win. plasma based weaponry is deadly to spartan shields. the clones could just pick them off from afar. if it came to closed quarters combat, the spartans would win by sheer strength. and fyurii, there are a lot more Republic commandos than arc troopers. Arc troopers operate like lone wolf operatives and as strike teams. Clone commandos are the next best thing to an arc. Theres an order of battle i read somewhere. "If you want a job done, send 100 clones, 1 arc trooper, or 4 clone commandos. I also believe that the Grand Army could demolish the UNSC, they simply have better training, weaponry, and support vehicle. spartan 3s from Ghosts of Onyx might be a better match-up against Republic commandos.

I never said that there were more ARCs than Commandos, just that they operate in larger squad sizes.
Afaik, the "lone wolf" operations part is something for special circumstances only.

Hartford "Social Justice Committee" Falls Apart After Members Throw Adult Temper Tantrum
Hartford, Vermont's Committee on Racial Injustice has seen three of its members resign, including Chairperson Olivia Lapierre, according to this Valley News article. Please read the Valley News article yourself for the important details on this adult temper tantrum and keep this tab open to understand why the Committee falling apart is actually a step in the right direction for race relations in the Upper Valley.
Lapierre is quoted in the piece saying: "I don't owe white people my time, my patience, my kindness."
Imagine if a white city employee in Flint, Michigan said the same exact sentence except for replacing "white" with "black". Doesn't that sound racist in that context? The truth is that statement is racist in both contexts. That begs the question of why did the Committee on Racial Injustice allow its Chairwoman (the politically correct term is Chairperson, by the way, Valley News) to make a racially charged statement like that without so much as a single objection from the committee?
The way I imagine how the resignations went.
Despite what some may think after reading enough of my rhetoric I am not an unreasonable person. In the way human society is shaped at the moment I understand why well-intentioned supporters of the state think government is necessary. After all, the Founding Fathers couldn't have just declared the Thirteen Colonies an anarchist paradise and not expect the British to come back with their government sponsored war machine and take over again. Rather, they created the freest form of government the world had ever seen at the time. Most of the Founding Fathers believed that government was an insidious instrument necessary to protect life, liberty, and property.
With the original purpose of the American political system in mind, I find it hard to believe that anyone is able to justify how the Racial Inequality Committee serves to protect life, liberty, or property? I don't remember reading the "Right to not feel offended" amendment in the Bill of Rights. Maybe Lapierre and the other committee members should have read the Constitution before using the force of the state to ram their ideology down taxpayers' throats.
When first drafting this article in my head my first idea was to highlight Lapierre's anti-white racism, but I figured that would play right into the hands of the race baiters and social engineers who want to drive a wedge between whites and people of color in the community. These people and their government sponsors actually WANT higher racial tensions in the country because racial tensions create hatred, hatred creates fear, and fear is the excuse the government uses to take away our rights. Just look to the riots that happened in Ferguson after the 2014 shooting of Mike Brown. Brown's stepfather shouted "Burn this bitch down" to a crowd of angry African Americans and the next thing you know every police station in America is requesting an armored vehicle and other military weapons intended to be used on the American people.
I've met plenty of oppressed people of color living at Dave's place, and are they being oppressed by white property owner Dave or any of the other whites living down at Mink Brook?
No, they, like many lower and middle class Americans of every race, color, and creed, are being oppressed by the cabal of elitists who run this county and their social engineer lackies like Lapierre who foment racial strife to get the people fighting amongst themselves to distract them from the real enemy.
Hopefully without the "leadership" of Lapierre the Committee will disband and its supporters realize that if they really want to help heal racial tensions in their community, they need to say NO to the government.
*The featured graphic that in my opinion accurately portrays the attitudes of the Committee members is a classic Ben Garrison cartoon, check out his site for more great liberty oriented cartoons)

Watch: The Best Video Tribute to the Daniel Craig Era of James Bond
"Any thug can kill. I want you to take your ego out of the equation." Daniel Craig's era as James Bond is over. No Time to Die wrapped up his storyline as Agent 007 - after 5 movies and 15 years. Was he one of the best Bonds? That's up to everyone to decide on their own. Daniel Craig was the sixth James Bond over the franchise's 50 years, taking over for Pierce Brosnan (who finished in 2002). His first movie was Casino Royale in 2006, regarded as one of the best Bond movies ever made. He followed that up with Quantum of Solace (2008) then Skyfall (2012) then Spectre (2015) and ending with No Time to Die (2021). "The Blue eyes Bond." There have been many tributes to Craig's era, but this might be the best one yet. This "Daniel Craig Era Complete" video tribute on YouTube was made by the user "SxDementia" and covers all five of his films and it's a joy to watch. It's the editing and all the music that makes it so good. View the tribute below.
Thanks to Twitter for the tip on this video. Intro direct from YouTube: "My favorite James Bond. Following Daniel Craig as James Bond since Casino Royale has been a great pleasure. His incarnation was nervous and charismatic, a good balance of them… This era [had a continuous] background story. Bond and Vesper. Vesper had so much impact on this Bond. He was blind by his quest of revenge in Quantum of Solace, he mentally still affected by her lost in Spectre, and finally forgave her in No Time To Die." This Daniel Craig era tribute is made by and edited by "SxDementia", aka S. Thomas, a French cinephile and video editor. You can see more of his work on YouTube or on Vimeo or follow them on Twitter @sxdementia. The grand finale Daniel Craig Bond movie, No Time to Die, is playing in theaters now (watch the final trailers) and will be available at home soon. 15 years of Daniel Craig's 007. Which of these Bond films are you favorites?

David Warner's ego must be managed, Says Graeme Smith
Former South African captain Graeme Smith has some advice for Australia coach Justin Langer — make sure David Warner's ego is managed if he starts to "get bigger than everybody else".
The polarising opener, on the comeback trail after a one-year ban for ball-tampering, has been in red-hot form in the Indian Premier League ahead of his expected recall to the national side for the World Cup in England and Wales.
But some commentators believe Warner's return could be disruptive to the team, which is now resurgent after a run of poor results, and that he needs to managed carefully.
Smith, who skippered his country for more than a decade, said that while he admired Warner's batting, he had "pissed a lot of people off" throughout his career.
"I don't know," he told Fox Sports on Tuesday evening when asked if he would have any issue in welcoming Warner back to the Australian team.
"It's difficult to know what it's like behind the scenes, but he's always been an incredible cricketer," added Smith, who played 117 Tests before retiring in 2014.
"Especially when he bats, he bats with that driven nature, that intensity, ego to perform. And he's an excellent cricketer.
"I think where David has been throughout his career is that he's pissed a lot of people off. He's just that type of guy. I think at the moment he needs Australian cricket more than they need him."
Warner is suspected of instigating a plot to use sandpaper to alter the ball in the now infamous Cape Town Test last year. He has long been a divisive figure.
And Smith believes his behaviour needs to be monitored closely.
"I think he's very driven, I think he wants to do well, he wants to prove his worth again. And I think David Warner in that position is probably a good guy to have in your environment," he said.
"It's when he starts to get bigger than everybody else then probably management needs to be ready for that.
"Guys like Langer and whoever is captaining the side going forward need to ensure they stay on top of that and manage that space and that ego well going forward."
The reintegration of Warner and co-conspirator Steve Smith has already begun with the pair meeting the one-day team after their bans expired late last month.
Australian cricket chief Kevin Roberts recently said team-mates don't always need to be "best mates".
"In any workplace, you don't need to be best mates with everyone, but there needs to be a foundation of respect and I think there is growing respect there," he said.

From sinners to stylists, from a acclaimed accepted to accustomed women, Chinese hairstyles accept acquired from symbols of ethnicity, chic cachet and political alignment to an announcement of individuality and style. Han Bingbin investigates.
To call the acceptation of China's alteration hairstyles is no simple task. In China, possibly added than in any added culture, bristles has continued had able political and amusing meaning. Until as afresh as the 1970s, hairstyles were not an calmly capricious aperture for claimed expression, but a attribute of aggregate from cachet and ethnicity, to political ideals.
In age-old times especially, bodies admired their bristles as a attribute of self-respect. Bristles was as awful admired as the body. In the Spring and Autumn Aeon (770-476 BC), a abuse alleged kun appropriate sinners to barber their bristles and beard. Compared with added concrete punishments this was advised added adverse because it angered the soul.
During the Warring States Aeon (475-221 BC), the acclaimed Accepted Cao Cao was absolved the afterlife sentence, but instead of accident his arch he had his bristles cut off as a abuse for disobeying aggressive orders. Cogent affidavit of how actively bodies took their bristles in age-old times.
Hair in aged times helped analyze amid the Han bodies and added indigenous groups, as the above tended to accept it bound, while the closing usually grew their continued bristles to be disheveled. In the Tang Dynasty (AD 618-907), hairdos with altered shapes acquired into a attribute of chic status.
In his commodity The Psychology Behind Chinese People's Hairstyles, appear in Beijing Science and Technology Life annual in 2005, columnist Zhang Minglu said that in accession to actuality the attribute of ethnicity and class, hair's foremost action was a acknowledgment of political alignment and a political weapon.
When the Manchu bodies took civic sovereignty, one of the aboriginal things they did was to adjustment civilians to barber their heads. Unshaven active accordingly became a bright assurance of dissent.
The best archetypal archetype was the alienated Taiping armies who were accursed by the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911) rulers as "hairy thieves". That aforementioned political apologue agitated on to the afterwards years of Republic of China (1912-49) back it was adjoin the law to accept pigtails.
Even afterwards the People's Republic of China was founded in 1949, hair's complicated accord with backroom did not end.
In the 1950s, a abbreviate bob, cut aloof beneath the ears, a simple appearance advantaged by changeable communists and soldiers, was broadly apish by Chinese women.
Author Chen Mingyuan's book Dress Warmly, Eat One's Fill and Be Well-off, dubbed this appearance the "liberation hairdo" as it adumbrated women actuality absolved and acceptable their own master.
The alone assurance of individuality was the altered hairpins and cottony flowers. But Chen said that adolescent women were still in favor of braids, one on anniversary ancillary of the head. A archetypal acclaim paid to a babe at this time was, "she has two pigtails that ball to her movements".
Chen said that in the 1950s, abounding women chose to perm their bristles into apart waves. But from 1957 on, in affiliation with several political movements, women cut their bristles alike shorter, which was generally referred to as the "movement hairdo".
When the "cultural revolution" (1966-76) began, Chen said, "corrections" started with women's hair. Continued braids were cut short, and the "capitalist-style", coiled waves, disappeared.
Women Red Guards cut off their continued braids and autonomous for the movement crew to appearance their advocate spirit, as academic Gu Nong wrote in his commodity Cultural Revolution and Hair, appear in the annual Xun'gen annual in 2000. Gu said at that time one complect was apparent as feudalistic, two capitalistic, and shoulder-length bristles absolutely revisionism.
Harsh analysis against "capitalist-roaders" could additionally alpha with their hair. In an article advantaged Records of 1966 and 1967, biographer Yang Jiang describes an adventure in which bisected her bristles was cut off, giving her a "yin-yang head", an calumniating abuse generally acclimated during the "cultural revolution".
From the backward 1970s, back China began to apparatus the ameliorate and opening-up policy, hairstyles became absolutely a claimed best to authenticate individuality and artful preferences.
In the backward 1970s, coiled hair, such as afros and continued coiled after-effects afresh became trendy. By the 1980s, perms were common, forth with abbreviate bobs – consistently a admired of Chinese women.
By the backward 1990s, bristles dye became a cogent trend. As Chinese women accepted added possibilities for their bristles shapes and colors, the country has additionally amorphous to see a growing array of bristles accessories and bristles affliction products.
Since the backward 1970s, trends accept again shifted. Imported hairstyles, like the bob and afros accept all larboard a cogent mark in the history of Chinese fashion. Behind anniversary of these contemporary hairdos was trendsetters such as Momoe Yamaguchi, Teresa Teng and Maggie Chung.
"Chinese women accept become added codicillary on their hairstyle to be a altered way to change their claimed angel and access others' assessment of them," Chen assured in his book.
It was during this aeon that China's adorableness industry blossomed, with a growing cardinal of bounded and international-branded bristles salons aperture their doors.
There has additionally been a growing all-embracing access with bounded salons sending their stylists to be accomplished across and adopted talents advancing to assignment in China. All these developments accept helped Chinese fashionistas accumulate up with all-embracing trends.
"Chinese acreage bodies are abundant richer now. They accept a adventitious to biking and see more. They are now absolutely advanced in agreement of fashion. They are apparently added adaptive to the latest trends than bodies in Hong Kong and Taiwan," said Casper Yeo, hairstylist with a Shanghai-based Vidal Sassoon training center.
A Malaysian who came to Shanghai in 2007, Yeo grew up with the academic appearance that Chinese were bigoted and rustic. But now he tells his accompany to appointment and be abashed by Shanghai's contemporary looks.
But he said clashing Westerners who are actual appropriate in agreement of fashion, Chinese are still bourgeois imitators. Yeo said one abrogating aftereffect of this is that sometimes the streets are abounding of hundreds of bodies antic aforementioned hairstyle.
"That apparently has article to do with Asian apprenticeship that makes acceptance abhorrence attractive altered from others," he said.

…. Hastings has a sober, unromantic and realistic view of battle that puts him into a different category from the armchair generals whose gung-ho, schoolboy attitude to war fills the pages of a great majority of military histories.He writes with grace, fluency and authority. "Inferno" offers an account of the war that concentrates on the lived experience of the men and women who took part in it. On almost every page there is memorable and arresting material from interviews, diaries, letters, memoirs and personal documents of many kinds. The huge cast of characters and witnesses gives the book an almost Tolstoyan sweep, as it ranges across the world, from Dunkirk to Iwo Jima, Stalingrad to Guadalcanal.
"All Hell Let Loose is an extraordinary book. Full of opinions, wisdom and humanity, it is surely Hastings' finest work to date. In its sympathetic and scholarly portrayal of the most destructive war that the world has ever seen, it is an eloquent and persuasive riposte to those who archly suggest that this gruesome subject can teach us nothing more and that we should finally consign it to the dustbin of history. It reminds us all of the enormous sacrifices made, the atrocities committed, the horrors endured, and the many millions of lives wasted – and as such it provides a vital service.

Demian Maia Baptista (ur. 6 listopada 1977) − brazylijski grappler i zawodnik mieszanych sztuk walki. Kilkukrotny mistrz świata w brazylijskim jiu-jitsu oraz mistrz świata w submission fightingu.

Życiorys i przeszłość sportowa
Urodzony w São Paulo, w Brazylii, Maia trenował Judo jako dziecko. Zaczął w wieku czterech lat i trenował do szóstego roku życia. Kiedy stał się nastolatkiem, rozpoczął również naukę Kung Fu i Karate. W wieku dziewiętnastu lat, Maia został wprowadzony do Brazylijskiego Jiu-Jitsu przez swojego kuzyna. Po czterech latach i siedmiu miesiącach Demian otrzymał swój czarny pas. Demian Maia ukończył studia i uzyskał dyplom z dziennikarstwa.  becnie posiada czarny pas piątego stopnia w brazylijskim Jiu-Jitsu i wygrał kilka dużych turniejów w barwach Team Brasa. Maia wcześniej przypisywał trzygodzinną prywatną lekcję, którą odbył z Ricksonem Gracie jako jeden z momentów, który miał największy wpływ na jego podejście do Jiu-Jitsu i całkowicie je zmienił.

Zwyciężył w kategorii wagowej 77-87 kg na Mistrzostwach Świata ADCC Submission Wrestling 2007, pokonując Yushina Okamiego, Rafaela Lovato i Tarsisa Humphresa, a w finale odprawiając Flavio Almeidę. Wygrał również Super Challenge 2007 w wadze do 83 kg, pokonując Vitelmo Kubisa Bandeirę przez tylne nagie duszenie i Gustavo Machado przez decyzję sędziów, a następnie pokonał Fabio Negao przez duszenie gilotynowe w finale. Po zdobyciu mistrzostwa ADCC w 2007 roku, Maia wydał serię instruktażowych płyt DVD zatytułowanych The Science of Jiu-Jitsu I & II we współpracy z firmą World Martial Arts.

Grapplerska sprawność Mai jest tak wysoko ceniona wśród zawodników MMA, że notowany zawodnik wagi ciężkiej i czarny pas BJJ  Frank Mir zatrudnił go jako swojego głównego trenera jiu-jitsu przed walką o tytuł UFC 100 z Brockiem Lesnarem. Mir kredytuje Maia z wniesieniem umiejętności Mir w jiu-jitsu na inny poziom, mówiąc "Myślałem, że jestem w tym faktycznie dobry, dopóki nie zacząłem się z nim toczyć."

Maia ma na swoim koncie również porażki z czołowymi zawodnikami wagi średniej UFC i wielokrotnym mistrzem Mundialu Ronaldo "Jacaré" Souzą, a także z byłym pretendentem do tytułu mistrzowskiego w wadze ciężkiej UFC  Mistrz Mundialu Gabriel Gonzaga dwukrotnie w konkurencji grappling.

Kariera MMA
W zawodowym MMA zadebiutował w 2001 roku, jednak regularnie startuje w tej dyscyplinie dopiero od 2006 roku. Zwycięstwa w 6 walkach z rzędu zaowocowały podpisaniem w 2007 roku kontraktu z Ultimate Fighting Championship, największą organizacją MMA na świecie.

Pierwszą walkę stoczył podczas UFC 77, poddając rywala przez duszenie. W ten sam sposób wygrał 4 kolejne walki, co sprawiło, że był wymieniany wśród potencjalnych pretendentów do mistrzostwa UFC w wadze średniej (84 kg).

W sierpniu 2009 roku doznał jednak pierwszej porażki w karierze, gdy podczas UFC 102 został znokautowany w 21 sekund przez Nate'a Marquardta pojedynczym prawym prostym.

Mimo porażki z Marquardtem pół roku później władze organizacji wyznaczyły Maię do walki o tytuł z mistrzem Andersonem Silvą. Do pojedynku doszło 10 kwietnia 2010 roku w Abu Zabi (UFC 112). Wbrew oczekiwaniom Maia nie był w stanie wykorzystać swojego największego atutu, czyli technik parterowych. Silva zdominował dwie pierwsze rundy w stójce, a następnie unikał angażowania się w walkę w trzech kolejnych, ostatecznie wygrywając przez jednogłośną decyzję sędziów.

Na gali UFC 136 która odbyła się 9 listopada 2011 roku pokonał przez decyzję sędziowską Jorge'a Santiago.

7 lipca 2012 roku na UFC 148 pokonał przez techniczny nokaut Koreańczyka Dong Hyun Kima poprzez rzut na ziemię co skutkowało złamaniem żeber przez Koreańczyka. Był to również debiut Brazylijczyka w kategorii półśredniej (-77 kg).

Po przegranej z Rorym MacDonaldem w lutym 2014 (UFC 170), zanotował serię sześciu zwycięstw z rzędu, pokonując w tym czasie takich zawodników jak Gunnar Nelson, Matt Brown czy były mistrz WEC Carlos Condit, stając się równocześnie jednym z głównych pretendentów do walki o pas.

29 lipca 2017 na UFC 214 przegrał jednogłośnie na punkty z Tyronem Woodleyem w pojedynku o mistrzostwo UFC wagi półśredniej.

Maia zmierzył się z Colbym Covingtonem 28 października 2017 roku na gali UFC Fight Night 119. Walkę przegrał przez jednogłośną decyzję.

Demian został zestawiony jako zastępstwo za kontuzję (wypełniając zastępstwo za Santiago Ponzinibbio) i zmierzył się z Kamaru Usmanem 19 maja 2018 roku na gali UFC Fight Night 129. Walkę przegrał przez jednogłośną decyzję.

Demian zmierzył się z Lymanem Goodem 2 lutego 2019 roku na gali UFC Fight Night 144. Wygrał walkę przez poddanie w stójce w pierwszej rundzie, stając się pierwszą osobą, która skończyła Gooda w jego karierze MMA.

Maia zmierzył się z Anthonym Rocco Martinem 29 czerwca 2019 roku na gali UFC on ESPN: Ngannou vs. dos Santos. Walkę wygrał przez większościową decyzję.

Maia zmierzył się z Benem Askrenem 26 października 2019 roku na gali UFC on ESPN+ 20. Wygrał sprawę przez poddanie w trzeciej rundzie. Walka ta przyniosła mu bonus za walkę wieczoru.

Demian zmierzył się z Gilbertem Burnsem 14 marca 2020 roku na gali UFC Fight Night 170. Walkę przegrał przez techniczny nokaut w pierwszej rundzie.

Maia zmierzył się z Belalem Muhammadem 12 czerwca 2021 roku na UFC 263. Przegrał walkę przez jednogłośną decyzję.

Styl walki
Styl walki Maia jest zbudowany wokół jego wyjątkowych umiejętności, gdzie był w stanie zdominować swoich przeciwników. Maia wielokrotnie był nazywany najlepszym parterowcem w UFC. Używa podwójnych i pojedynczych podciągnięć, jak również potknięć, aby przejść do pozycji dominującej aby poddać rywala. W parterze Maia preferuje tylne dosiady, gdzie szuka duszenia zza pleców. W dolnej pozycji Demian używa niemal wyłącznie pojedynczych nóg do zamiatania i był w stanie wielokrotnie zamachnąć Gunnara Nelsona swoją pojedynczą nogą. Jest też na tyle pewny w swoim uderzeniu, że potrafi zbliżyć się na dystans i inicjować obalenia. Do tej pory Maia nigdy nie został poddany w walce MMA.

Życie prywatne
Matka Mai jest z pochodzenia Rosjanką. Demian ma żonę Renatę, która pracuje dla brazylijskiego magazynu. Maia wymienił UFC Hall of Famer Royce Gracie jako swoją inspirację do rozpoczęcia kariery w MMA, ale jako swojego głównego bohatera wymienia brata Royce'a – Ricksona Gracie. Posługuje się językiem portugalskim, hiszpańskim i angielskim.

W 2020 roku Maia otworzył nową akademię w São Paulo, w której znajduje się również muzeum jiu-jitsu.

Jordi Alsina i Bilbeny (born 14 October 1961) is a Spanish historian from Catalonia best known for his theory that Christopher Columbus was a Catalan.

Bilbeny has a degree in Catalan Philology by the Autonomous University of Barcelona and has been a professor of Catalan language classes for adults at the Islamic Cultural Council of Catalonia and at the Women's Penitentiary of Barcelona (Wad-Ras), among other places. He launched the "Symposium on the Catalan discovery of America" in 2001. Bilbeny is a member of the "Arenysian Movement for Self-Determination", a local independentist movement, and of the Arenys de Munt's Popular Unity Candidacy, and was one of the organizers of the 2009 Catalan independence referendum in Arenys de Munt, for which he composed the anthem. He is a leading member of the Institut Nova Història, a research organisation which claims that Columbus, Miguel de Cervantes, and the author of Lazarillo de Tormes were Catalan.

Unless specified differently by Zero One (not the manufacturer) using a 9.6v NiMH battery will void any warranty with Zero One.
Zero One recommends players only use 9.6v NiMH batteries on AEG's that have been upgraded or that fall outside of their warranty period. The higher the voltage increases rate of fire meaning that 9.6v batteries are a popular choice with many players but it does mean that the gearbox will have to work harder and faster. For this reason 7.2v or 8.4v NiMH batteries should be used to maintain the longevity and reliability of your AEG.
Very well made battery, last a reasonable time and once they run out they make a great melee weapon.
Really well made battery pack. Ordered a couple so I wouldn't have to wait for one to charge but they seem to last for ages. Could be a bit cheaper but I'm still happy with them.
