In March 2012 the Russian defense minister Anatoli Serdjukov said:
"The development of weaponry based on new physics principles; direct-energy weapons, geophysical weapons, wave-energy weapons, genetic weapons, psychotronic weapons, etc., is part of the state arms procurement program for 2011-2020,"Voice of Russia
The world media reacted to this hint on the open use of psychotronic weapons by the publication of scientific experiments from the 1960's where electromagnetic waves were used to transmit simple sounds into the human brain. However, most of them avoided saying that since then extensive scientific research has been carried out in this area throughout the world. Only a Colombian newspaper, El Spectador, published an article covering the whole scale of the achievements of this (computerized English translation).
Britain's Daily Mail, as another exception, wrote that research in electromagnetic weapons has been secretly carried out in the USA and Russia since the 1950's and that "previous research has shown that low-frequency waves or beams can affect brain cells, alter psychological states and make it possible to transmit suggestions and commands directly into someone's thought processes. High doses of microwaves can damage the functioning of internal organs, control behaviour or even drive victims to suicide."
In 1975, a neuropsychologist Don R. Justesen, the director of Laboratories of Experimental Neuropsychology at Veterans Administration Hospital in Kansas City, unwittingly leaked National Security Information. He published an article in "American Psychologist" on the influence of microwaves on living creatures' behavior.
In the article he quoted the results of an experiment described to him by his colleague, Joseph C. Sharp, who was working on Pandora, a secret project of the American Navy.
Don R. Justesen wrote in his article:
"By radiating themselves with these 'voice modulated' microwaves, Sharp and Grove were readily able to hear, identify, and distinguish among the 9 words. The sounds heard were not unlike those emitted by persons with artificial larynxes" (pg. 396).
That this system was later brought to perfection is proved by the document which appeared on the website of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency in 1997, where its Office of Research and Development presented the Department of Defense's project:"Communicating Via the Microwave Auditory Effect".In the description it said:
"An innovative and revolutionary technology is described that offers a low-probability-of-intercept radiofrequency (RF) communications. The feasibility of the concept has been established using both a low intensity laboratory system and a high power RF transmitter. Numerous military applications exist in areas of search and rescue, security and special operations" (See web.iol.cz)
In January 2007 the Washington Post wrote on the same subject:
"In 2002, the Air Force Research Laboratory patented precisely such a technology: using microwaves to send words into someone's head… Rich Garcia, a spokesman for the research laboratory's directed energy directorate, declined to discuss that patent or current or related research in the field, citing the lab's policy not to comment on its microwave work. In response to a Freedom of Information Act request filed for this article, the Air Force released unclassified documents surrounding that 2002 patent — records that note that the patent was based on human experimentation in October 1994 at the Air Force lab, where scientists were able to transmit phrases into the heads of human subjects, albeit with marginal intelligibility. Research appeared to continue at least through 2002. Where this work has gone since is unclear — the research laboratory, citing classification, refused to discuss it or release other materials"
We can only stress again that the world media avoid publishing the full scale of the progress in the research of the remote control of human nervous system. Dr. Robert Becker, who was twice nominated for Nobel Prize for his share in the discovery of the effects of pulsed fields at the healing of broken bones, wrote in his book "Body Electric" about the experiment from 1974 by J. F. Schapitz, released due to the Freedom of Information Act request.
J.F. Schapitz stated:
"In this investigation it will be shown that the spoken word of hypnotist may also be conveyed by modulated electromagnetic energy directly into the subconscious parts of the human brain – i. e. without employing any technical devices for receiving or transcoding the messages and without the person exposed to such influence having a chance to control the information input consciously."
In one of the four experiments subjects were given a test of hundred questions, ranging from easy to technical ones. Later, not knowing they were being irradiated, they would be subjected to information beams suggesting the answers to the questions they had left blank, amnesia for some of their correct answers, and memory falsification for other correct answers. After 2 weeks they had to pass the test again (Dr. Robert Becker: Body Electric: Electromagnetism and the Foundation of Life, William Morrow and comp., New York, 1985,. The results of the second test were never published. It is rather evident that in those experiments the messages were sent into human brain in ultrasound frequencies which the human brain perceives, but of which the subject is unaware. Dr. Robert Becker, due to those publications and his refusal to support the building of the antennae for the communication with submarines in brain frequencies, lost financial support for his research which meant an end to his scientific career.
Transmitting human speech into the human brain by means of electromagnetic waves is apparently, for the researchers, one of the most difficult tasks. It must be much easier to control human emotions which motivate human thinking, decision making and actions. People who claim to be victims of experiments with those devices complain, aside of hearing voices, of false feelings (including orgasms) as well of aches of internal organs which the physicians are unable to diagnose.
In November 2000 the Committee on Security of the Russian State Duma stated that capabilities enabling remote control of the human nervous system or the remote infliction of health impairment are available to many modern governments .See web.iol.cz
It is rather evident that those technologies are used, in conflict with the Nuremberg code, for experiments on unwitting human subjects. In 2001 the newspaper of the U.S. army, Defense News, wrote that Israel was experimenting with those weapons on Palestinians. Ibid
As well ousted Honduran president Manuel Zelaya, while under siege in Brazilian embassy in Honduras, complained that he had been subjected to an "electron bombardment with microwaves" which produces "headache and organic destabilization" The Guardian, October 2008
When asked by Amy Goodman from Democracy Now: "
As president, do you know about this in the Honduran arsenal?" He replied: "Yes, of course"
The use of those weapons is time and again reemerging in times of political crisis. According to Russian daily newspapers, during the failed putsch against Mikhail Gorbachov in 1991, general Kobets warned the defenders of the Russian White House that mind control technology could be used against them (Komsomolskaya Pravda, September 7,1991, O. Volkov, "Sluchi o tom chto nam davili na psychiku nepotverzdalis. Poka").
After the putsch, the vice president of the League of Independent Scientists of the USSR, Victor Sedlecki, published a declaration in the Russian daily Komsomolskaya Pravda where he stated:
As an expert and a legal entity I declare that mass production … of psychotronic biogenerators was launched in Kiev (this is indeed a very serious issue). I cannot assert for sure that that were exactly Kiev generators that were used during the putsch… However, the fact that they were used is obvious to me. What are psychotronic generators? It is an electronic equipment producing the effect of guided control in human organism. It especially affects the left and right hemisphere of the cortex. This is also the technology of the U.S. Project Zombie 5". He further stated that due to the inexperience of the personnel who operated them the attempt to use the generators failed
(Komsomolskaya Pravda, August 27,1991, "Avtory programy Zombi obnaruzheny v Kieve",
See also http://web.iol.cz/mhzzrz/img/Authors_of_project_zombie.gif).
In the USA, at present several hundred people complaining of the remote manipulation of their nervous system are preparing a class action lawsuit against the FBI, Department of Defense and other agencies, requesting them to release files pertaining to their persons, detect the harmful radiations aimed at their bodies and sources of those radiations. As well perhaps over 2000 people are complaining in Russia, over 200 in Europe, over 300 in Japan and tens of people in China and India. Russian politician, Vladimir Lopatin, who was working on Committee on Security of the Russian State Duma and introduced there a bill banning the use of those technologies, admitted in his book "Psychotronic Weapon and Security of Russia" (publishing house Sinteg, Moscow, 1999) that in Russia experiments on unwitting citizens are carried out, when he wrote: "
Compensation of damages and losses connected with social rehabilitation of persons suffering from destructive informational influence must be realized in legal trial" (excerpts from the book in English
(http://mojmir.webuda.com/Psychotronic_Weapon_and_the_Security_of_Russia, pg. 113).
It should be understood that most of those people pass through mental hospitals. Vladimir Lopatin visited the USA in 1999 as a chairman of the Military Reform Subcommittee of the USSR Supreme Soviet Committee for Issues of Defense and State Security and met with Richard Cheney. At that time he was described as the "leader of a new breed of Soviet dissidents". Then he disappeared from top ranks of Russian politicians.
Why has this research remained classified until present time? There are two explanations for this: First there is a secret arms race in progress in the world where the superpowers compete to gain decisive supremacy in this area and in this way master the control of the whole world. Second the governments keep those technologies in store for the case that they would not be able to control, by democratic means, the crisis that may arise as a result of their poor decisions. In both cases the era of democracy and human freedom in history will come to an end. According to the declaration of the former Russian Defense minister Serdjukov, there are maximally eight years left within which those weapons will officially become a part of the Russian military arsenal. For democracy this would mean a beginning of the end.
Anyway, in the past Russians were not resolved to put those means to work. When the construction of the American system HAARP was launched, with the system supposedly being able to target large regions of the planet by vibrating the ionosphere in brain frequencies (in this experiment the brain frequencies were not used, but the HAARP system can transmit in brain frequencies as well), Russia declared its willingness to ban mind control technologies. The Russian State Duma and consequently , the Interparliamentary Assembly of the Union of Independent States addressed the United Nations, OBSE and the European Council with a proposal for an international convention banning the development and use of informational weapons. According to the Russian newspaper Segodnya in March 1998, the matter was discussed with U.N. secretary general Kofi Anan, and included on the agenda of the General Assembly of the U.N. web.iol,cz, op cit
It is most likely the USA refused to negotiate this convention and in consequence the ban of informational weapons was not discussed by the United Nations General Assembly. Even in the U.S. congress appeared a bill proposing the ban of mind control technologies http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/r?c107:chemtrails.
But this was only for a very short period of time. The bill was then changed and in the new bill the ban of those technologies was left out of the Space Preservation Bill. Neither the U.S. congress nor the U.S. president made ever an effort to ban mind control weapons. The European Parliament reacted as well to the launch of the HAARP system construction, when it called in 1999 for the ban of manipulation of human beings.
The resolution was passed after the testimony of the American author of the book "Angels Don't Play this HAARP", Nick Begich, which apparently convinced the European Parliament of the possible use of this system to manipulate minds of whole populations. In the report by the European Parliament's STOA (Science and Technological Options Assessment) panel "Crowd Control Technologies" the originally proposed text of the European Parliament's resolution is quoted. There the European Parliament calls "for an international convention and global ban on all research and development , whether civilian or military , which seeks to apply knowledge of the chemical, electrical, sound vibration or other functioning of the human brain to the development of weapons which might enable any form of manipulation of human beings, including a ban on any actual or possible deployment (stressed by the author of the article) of such systems". (40, pg CII, ref. 369). But apparently at the same time the European countries resigned on this intention when accepting the NATO politics of non-lethal weapons.
The same STOA report claims that the USA is a major promoter of the use of those arms and that:
"In October 1999 NATO announced a new policy on non-lethal weapons and their place in allied arsenals" (pg. xlv) and it goes on:
"In 1996 non-lethal tools identified by the U.S. Army included… directed energy systems" and "radio frequency weapons"European Parliament
(at the bottom of the page, second reference pg. Xlvi).
Directed energy system is further defined by the STOA document: "
Directed energy weapon system designed to match radio frequency source to interfere with human brain activity at synapse level" (at the bottom of the page, first reference, Appendix 6-67). Since 1999 those weapons have been upgraded for another 13 years. European Parliament
In 1976 the future National Security advisor to president Carter, Zbygniew Brzezinski, wrote a book "Between Two Ages, America's Role in the Technetronic Era" (Penguin Books, 1976, Massachusets). In the book he predicted "more controlled and directed society" based on the development of technology, where an elite group will play a leading role, which will take advantage of persisting social crises to use "the latest modern techniques for influencing public behavior and keeping society under close surveillance and control".
The use of mind control technologies was predicted as well in the publication of Strategic Studies Institute of the U.S. Army War College, published in 1994
http://www.strategicstudiesinstitute.army.mil/pubs/display.cfm?pubID=241.
The scenario for the year 2000 expected the growth of terrorism, drug trafficking and criminality and drew a conclusion:
"The president was thus amenable to the use of the sort of psychotechnology which formed the core of the RMA (revolution in military affairs)… it was necessary to rethink our ethical prohibitions on manipulating the minds of enemies (and potential enemies) both international and domestic… Through persistent efforts and very sophisticated domestic "consciousness raising", old-fashioned notions of personal privacy and national sovereignty changed. As technology changed the way force was applied, things such as personal courage, face-to-face leadership, and the 'warfighter' mentality became irrelevant."…
"Potential or possible supporters of the insurgency around the world were identified using the comprehensive Interagency Integrated Database. These were categorized as 'potential' or 'active', with sophisticated personality simulations used to develop, tailor and focus psychological campaigns for each". So the Institute of Strategic Studies supposed that in the year 2000 those technologies would be that advanced that it will be possible to deprive human being of his freedom and adjust his personality to the needs of ruling elite. Most probably those technologies were at this level already in 1994.
The attempts to make the general public acquainted with the existence of those weapons are, with respect to the fact that it is evident that democratic public would require immediate ban of those technologies, systematically suppressed. Vladimir Lopatin wrote:
"The arms race is speeding up as a consequence of classification. Secrecy – this is in the first place the way to secure cruel control over the people… the way how to curtail their creativity, turn them into biorobots…", and that psychotronic war "is already taking place without declaration of war, secretly… Only if the work on mind control problem is no more covered by the screen of secrecy, extraordinariness, mysteriousness, if complex, open scientific research with international participation, is carried out, the psychotronic war including the use of psychotronic weapon can be prevented".
The article "Informacni zbrane ohrozuji demokracii a lidstvo" was deleted from the website of the Czech internet newspaper Britske Listy (www.blisty.cz). The sharing of the original web address of the English version of the same article – Means of Information War Threaten Democracy and Mankind – is blocked on Facebook and a similar article was deleted from the webpage of the Australian magazine "New Dawn".
There exist no legislations punishing the use of those technologies by governments. Only in Russia and some of the states in the USA there are legislations punishing the ownership or trading with those technologies by non governmental entities. For example in the state of Michigan the sentence for this crime is equal to the sentence for ownership or trading with weapons of mass destruction.
The readers who will be reached by this article and prefer democratic political system would help its preservation if they forwarded the article to their friends.

Media Coverup of Impacts of U.S. Nuclear Weapons Testing on Native People in the Pacific

"Nuclear Savage" is a documentary film that explores US nuclear weapons testing in the Marshall Islands
By William Boardman
Source: Global Research, January 10, 2014
"The bomb will not start a chain reaction in the water, converting it all to gas and letting all the ships on all the oceans drop down to the bottom. It will not blow out the bottom of the sea and let all the water run down the hole. It will not destroy gravity. I am not an atomic playboy."
– Vice Admiral William P. Blandy, Bikini bomb test commander, July 25, 1946
When the military scientists of an advanced technological nation deliberately explode their largest nuclear bomb (and 66 others) over Pacific islands and use the opportunities to study the effects of radiation on nearby native people, which group is best described as "savage"? And what should you call the people who prevent a documentary about these American post-war crimes from reaching a wide audience in the United States?
"Nuclear Savage" is a recent documentary film that explores American nuclear weapons testing in the Marshall Islands, 1946-1958, and particularly the secret Project 4.1: an American experiment in exposing Pacific Islanders to overdoses of radiation – deliberate human radiation poisoning – just to get better data on this method of maiming and killing people. The public broadcasting establishment has spent more that two years keeping this story off the air.
The preview reel of "Nuclear Savage" includes a clip with a stentorian newsreel announcer reporting on the American treatment of Marshall Islanders in April 1957, and explaining to his predominantly American audience:
"The Marshallese caught by fallout got 175 roentgens of radiation. These are fishing people, savages by our standards, so a cross-section was brought to Chicago for testing. The first was John, the mayor of Rongelap Atoll…. John, as we said, is a savage, but a happy, amenable savage."
So how serious is 175 roentgens (assuming the measurement is accurate)? In 1950, the International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) recommended that human radiation contact should not exceed 0.3 roentgen per week for whole-body exposure ["roentgen" as a measure of radiation dose has since been replaced by "rem" (for "roentgen equivalent man")]. It's not clear how long the Marshallese were exposed to radiation levels of 175 roentgens – or on how many occasions – but that amount was more than 580 times what was then considered a safe weekly exposure.

Manufactured Crisis. The Untold Story of the Iran Nuclear Scare

Review of Gareth Porter's recently released book
By Dr. Ludwig Watzal
Since the early 1990s, Israel, U.S. officials and their submissive European allies, supported by their uncritical and subservient media, have been peddling allegations, fabrications, accusations and lies that the government of Iran was pursuing a secret, military adjunct to its regularly inspected civilian nuclear program. The main thrust of Porter's book is to demonstrate that this crisis was "manufactured" and the accusations were bogus, i. e. Iran never had a military nuclear program. For over 20 years Israeli politicians have been claiming that Iran's nuclear device was just around the corner.
Despite the political hullabaloo and Netanyahu's call for military actions against Iran's nuclear installations. "Netanyahu never intended to use military force against Iran, and the Obama administration was well aware of that but was hoping to exploit the threat to gain diplomatic leverage on Iran", writes Porter.
President Obama, under severe pressure from Israel, its Zionist lobby AIPAC (American Israeli Public Affairs Committee) together with the large majority of Congress, has been leading a worldwide effort to impose crippling sanctions on Iran to force it to give up its alleged nuclear-weapons program. Up until now, there exists no evidence that Iran carried out a military nuclear program. Beyond that, Gareth Porter, a historian and investigative journalist specializing in US foreign and military policy, demonstrates that the so-called stolen documents, which apparently "proved" Iran's covert nuclear program, were "fraudulent". These "mysterious documents" were allegedly smuggled out of Iran on a laptop. The author unravels the contradictions between the material in the documents and well-established facts. Did the U.S rely for its "evidence" on Israeli intelligence services?

Turkey's Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan (Reuters/Umit Bektas)
Turkey has blocked Twitter hours after embattled Turkish Prime Minister Erdogan threatened to close it down ahead of a key election. It comes after audio recordings purportedly demonstrating corruption among his associates were posted on the site.
Just before midnight, access to Twitter was blocked, Hurriyet Daily reports.
"We now have a court order. We will wipe out Twitter," the Islamist-leaning leader told a crowd of adulating supporters during a campaign rally in the northwestern city of Bursa on Thursday, AFP reported.
"I don't care what the international community says. They will see the Turkish republic's strength," Erdogan added.
According to the Press Advisory of the Prime Ministry, Twitter officials are currently ignoring court rulings demanding they remove some links.
"[In Erdogan's speech] it is stated that as long as Twitter fails to change its attitude…
Unknown Snipers Once Again Stir Up Violence … This Time In Crimea

by Washington's Blog
After a Ukranian soldier at a base in Crimea was killed, Ukraine announced that the murder was a "war crime", and that Ukranians could use live fire to protect themselves.
But no one knows who actually pulled the trigger. The Independent reports:
However, there were indications that it was the separatist Crimean government's recently created "Self Defence Forces" who had actually carried out the fatal attack. Local officials, meanwhile, claimed that "fascist snipers" had fired the first shot from a residential building and one of the injured was one of the defence force members.
Local authorities presented a different version of what had taken place. A police officer said: "There were snipers who were using peoples' homes to start shooting, that was the provocation. One of those injured was from the Self Defence Forces."

The restructuring of China"s top environmental authority will empower it to help the country better fulfill its obligation in reducing ozone depleting substances, said a senior official with the China office of the United Nations Development Programme.
Devanand Ramiah, deputy country director of UNDP China, told China Daily he was encouraged by China"s work in ODS reduction since the country joined the Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer in 1991.
Ramiah"s comments come as the world celebrated the 24th International Ozone Layer Protection Day on Sunday.
"After the Montreal protocol, the Chinese government has taken this very seriously in terms of putting forth all of its efforts and summoning all of its political will to address this issue.
"It"s not easy because of the scale in China, but I think China is doing extremely well," he said, adding that the country has phased out both CFC and bromomethane at least two years ahead of the time frame required under the protocol, and it is moving ahead with clear targets in weeding out HCFCs. All three of these chemical compounds are ODS.
China, as the largest producer and exporter of ODS, faces a series of challenges in phasing out the substances, he said.
The scale of companies related to ODS differs and it"s a challenge to come up with a strategy to address the issue. There can be difficulties in monitoring small enterprises, he said, adding the diverse and scattered nature of these firms can make their oversight difficult.
He also said it"s challenging for China and also the rest of the world to find lower cost alternatives to ODS, citing the example of CFC-11.
CFC-11 foam was widely used as insulation before it was banned in 2010. It"s much cheaper than many other substances that could replace it.
Despite the challenges, Ramiah said he is "very optimistic" that China will earnestly fulfill its obligations after strengthening its top environmental authority.
"As you know, the biggest push by the Chinese government is to balance development with environmental protections, and it"s taking the environmental aspect of development very seriously."
The newly strengthened Ministry of Ecology and Environment shows the push from Chinese government at the highest level, he said.
The reshuffle will help ODS management because the National Management Office of ODS Import & Export will become an independent office.
"That again shows a state of seriousness in terms of enforcement capacity," he said.
In the latest institutional restructuring initiated by the State Council in March, the Ministry of Ecology and Environment was established to assume duties from seven government bodies, including the duty of responding to climate change.
"We have a very robust program and we are delivering with our partners. Institutional strengthening requires a lot of coordination between different entities and the institutions need to be strong. All in all I think it"s going well," he said.
Many countries have been following China"s lead in introducing new ODS control plans.
With the support of the UNDP, there have been countries coming to China, including Malaysia, India and Indonesia, to learn from both the Chinese government and the private sector, he said.
"China"s challenge is so vast but China"s action has also been vast," he said.

This stunning glass pergola was commissioned for Pembroke College, part of the University of Cambridge. The thin stainless steel sections of the skeleton frame offered no structural rigidity. It was only when the 'water white' Starfire panels were bonded into the structure, that by acting as diaphragms, the whole construction became structurally sound. The pergola creates a 'stack effect' natural ventilation for the building.
The pergola was built in our workshops in the 1990s as one piece and transported to site on a low loader before being lifted into position on the rooftop.

Using exclusively bio-compatible and bio-degradable materials, researchers from the University of Stanford have devised a capacitive-based artery blood-flow sensor which can be read out wirelessly once implanted, and which does not require removal as it self-resorbs after a few months of operation.
The thin flexible device described in a paper titled "Biodegradable and flexible arterial-pulse sensor for the wireless monitoring of blood flow" published in Nature Biomedical Engineering was designed to locally monitor blood flow after complex reconstructive surgeries involving "anastomosis", the suturing of blood vessels, such as would be the case in cardiovascular, vascular and transplantation operations.
So far, commercially existing sensor require careful fixation and also need to be removed after use, which presents an additional surgical risk. The paper describes a thin and flexible pressure sensor made entirely of biodegradable materials, which can be wrapped around arteries as small as 1mm in diameter.
which can be interpreted as blood flow measurements.
Measuring only a few square millimetres, the whole device consists of a layered fringe-field capacitive sensor sensitive in both contact (the sensor is put in contact with the artery) and non-contact modes, connected to a bilayer coil structure (made of magnesium) used for data transmission through radio-frequency coupling with an external reader coil.
and the cuff-type pulse sensor wrapped around the artery.
Here, blood flow is indirectly measured through pulse detection as the monitored artery experiences pulsatile changes of vessel diameter which can measured by the capacitive sensor. The change in capacitance results in a shift of the resonant frequency in an inductor–capacitor–resistor circuit, which is monitored wirelessly through the skin via inductive coupling, enabling battery-free operation.

"Sharp will begin selling a Linux operating system-based personal digital assistant (PDA) in the U.S. from the third quarter this year, according to a report in the Saturday morning edition of the Nihon Keizai Shimbun."
"The new Zaurus PDA, which will also support Java and will be the first from Sharp that doesn't use the company's proprietary operating system, will go on sale in Japan from the second quarter and hit Europe around the end of the year and the remainder of Asia in early 2002, said the report."
"We are still developing the new model so we don't have an exact schedule," said Sharp spokeswoman Arisa Mori. She added that the second-quarter launch date quoted by the newspaper was too early and that pricing had also not been decided."

^What monster are you referring to again? i don't remember seeing any monster with scythes for hands.
anyhow, those little short fat monsters from SH1 (the ones in the school) looked as if they had knives for hands. i think they were probably just holding them, but i couldn't tell really due to the graphics. plus it's been a while since i've played the game.
Yeah and if you ever get a good look at a pendulum in SH3 (which is no easy thing), they are made of out a torso with blades for legs.
I think it's just the graphics are crisper. That is probably what makes them not look as freaky as usual.
I did too lose that original 'silent hill' feeling with origins. Idk what it is. It was still a good game all in all.
I've played plenty of games that looked great that were horrible. Graphics are important, but if the other elements (plot, gameplay) are bad up then graphics don't mean sh**.
I want my eyes and brain to hurt like they did in the hospital in SH3 during the Otherside. I can only hope this game will have that effect! I've got faith that the noise filters will change everything once they're applied, though the game is looking pretty good already. I just want more!
As I'm sure it's been said before, the only problem (which is a HUGE problem in my opinion), is that the monsters look too...un-monsterish. They're too clean (I know for a fact that that's been said before; so true, though). Silent Hill is best known for it's filthy, disturbing fucked up creatures, while these look like something that is not...'grimy' enough. I hope that things either get better, or actually are better than that screenshot. Either way, I'm getting the damn game. Silent Hill, no matter what, is worth buying. Well, hopefully that remains true. Hehe.
It all looks very silent hill-ish to me.. I think everyone is just over reacting to this.. I mean damn give the game a chance. It's not even out yet.. and we're already bashing it to pieces.
And from what I've seen the creatures look fine thus far. I think the environments look pretty sweet.. it looks like a cross between sh1 and sh3.. but hopefully they do not steal too much from those games. It will be interesting to see what things look like with the noise filter applied.
I'm just wondering how many people have actually played or seen Buffy the game? Well if you've not, check out this Gamespot Review. Looks very familiar doesn't it? In fact I would go as far as to declair shenanigans, and put it that SH5 if little more than Buffy with slightly different graphics.
We havn't seen any pictures of Alex in the Otherworld yet.
Really? What was that screen with giant fan, church and red sky?

Q: Left outer Join Pandas Data Frame using contains I have two Pandas Data Frames df1 and df2. I want df1 joined with df2 using a left outer join but with a contains function like "df2.Partial_key" in "df2.Full_Key".
Select df1.data_id1, df1.Full_Key, df1.text_field
, df2.data_id2, df2.text_field
from df1
LEFT OUTER JOIN df2 on "df1.Full_Key contains df2.Partial_key"

Is there a way to do this without for loops? Given
df1 = pd.DataFrame.from_items([('data_id1' , ['bzx_0001','bzx_0002','bzx_0003','bzx_0004'])
, ('Full_Key_1',['AAAA-BBBB-20150101-NS237890', 'BBBB-CCCC-21050101-MS18546', 'CCCC-CCCC-20150101-MS34567', 'CCCC-CCCC-20150101-MS34568'])
, ('text_field',['aaaaa', 'bbbbb', 'cccccc', 'ddddd'])])

df2 = pd.DataFrame.from_items([('data_id2',['dm_0001', 'dm_0002', 'dm_0003', 'dm_0004'])
,('Partial_key',['AAAA-BBBB-20150101-', 'AAAA-BBBB-20150101-', 'BBBB-CCCC-21050101-', 'XXXX-XXXX-20150101-'])
])

DataFrame expected after joining:
df_exp_res = pd.DataFrame.from_items([
('data_id1', ['bzx_0001', 'bzx_0001', 'bzx_0002', 'bzx_0003', 'bzx_0004'])
,('Full_Key_1',['AAAA-BBBB-20151005-NS237890', 'AAAA-BBBB-20151005-NS237890', 'BBBB-CCCC-21050101-MS18546', 'CCCC-CCCC-20150101-MS34567', 'CCCC-CCCC-20150101-MS34568'])
,('text_field',['aaaaa', 'aaaaa', 'bbbbb', 'cccccc', 'ddddd'])
,('data_id2', ['dm_0001', 'dm_0002', 'dm_0003', np.nan, np.nan])
,('Partial_key',['AAAA-BBBB-20151005-', 'AAAA-BBBB-20151005-', 'BBBB-CCCC-21050101-', np.nan, np.nan])
])

My solution using for loops:
s = [['data_id1' , 'Full_Key_1', 'text_field', 'Partial_key', 'data_id2']]
for indx1, row1 in df1.iterrows():
    fnd = False
    for indx2, row2 in df2.iterrows():
        if row2['Partial_key'].strip() in row1['Full_Key_1'].strip():
            s.append([row1['data_id1'],row1['Full_Key_1'], \
            row1['text_field'], row2['Partial_key'], \
            row2['data_id2']])
            fnd = True
        else:
            pass
    else:
        if not fnd:
            s.append([row1['data_id1'],row1['Full_Key_1'], \
            row1['text_field'], np.nan, np.nan])

pd_result_calc = pd.DataFrame(s[1:],columns=s[0])
print df1
print df2
print pd_result_calc

A: based on a cross join - see cartesian product in pandas
df1 = pd.DataFrame.from_items([('data_id1' , ['bzx_0001','bzx_0002','bzx_0003','bzx_0004'])
, ('Full_Key_1',['AAAA-BBBB-20150101-NS237890', 'BBBB-CCCC-21050101-MS18546', 'CCCC-CCCC-20150101-MS34567', 'CCCC-CCCC-20150101-MS34568'])
, ('text_field',['aaaaa', 'bbbbb', 'cccccc', 'ddddd'])])

df2 = pd.DataFrame.from_items([('data_id2',['dm_0001', 'dm_0002', 'dm_0003', 'dm_0004'])
,('Partial_key',['AAAA-BBBB-20150101-', 'AAAA-BBBB-20150101-', 'BBBB-CCCC-21050101-', 'XXXX-XXXX-20150101-'])
])

df1['key'] =1
df2['key'] =1

merged_cross_join = pd.merge(df1, df2,on='key')

# we don't need this helper column 'key' any longer
merged_cross_join.drop('key', axis=1, inplace=True)
df1.drop('key', axis=1, inplace=True)

contains_criteria = merged_cross_join[['Full_Key_1','Partial_key']].apply(lambda x: x['Partial_key'] in x['Full_Key_1'],axis=1)
print merged_cross_join[contains_criteria]

Which produces:
   data_id1                   Full_Key_1 text_field  key data_id2          Partial_key
0  bzx_0001  AAAA-BBBB-20150101-NS237890      aaaaa    1  dm_0001  AAAA-BBBB-20150101-
1  bzx_0001  AAAA-BBBB-20150101-NS237890      aaaaa    1  dm_0002  AAAA-BBBB-20150101-
6  bzx_0002   BBBB-CCCC-21050101-MS18546      bbbbb    1  dm_0003  BBBB-CCCC-21050101-

I'm currently on 2x20mg omeprazole and take 1 before breakfast and 1 before evening meal. I'm wandering if I should take the 1st 1 before lunch instead, as breakfast is just a bit of toast whereas lunch is sometimes the largest meal of the day.
Although Richard believes that for him splitting doses and spreading them through the day works, experts disagree.
Since they work continuously and build up in the system, timing isn't critical. The advice is to take them at the same time each day simply t get into the habit. Half an hour before food will also ensure they reach the duodenum intact (aided by peristalsis of the food) to be absorbed into the bloodstream without being broken down by the stomach acid.
The dose of omeprazole required to achieve adequate intraesophageal acid suppression in patients with gastroesophageal junction specialized intestinal metaplasia and Barrett's esophagus.
"The majority of patients with Barrett's esophagus were controlled with once daily low dose PPI and only a minority required twice daily dosing, regardless of the length of Barrett's mucosa."
> Play with the TIMEs but not the dose.
Not necesarily the best advise. There is a minimum dose size that will do anything. It may be better to take fewer larger doses. Also any one dose will be effective for a specific time. Google for drug half-life for more understanding!
No two people seem to be prescribed the same dose: there seems to be no "standard" dose. It seems to be an experiment to find out what works best for you!
There are lots of medical papers saying PPIs should be prescribed in the minimum effective dose - but there's no easy way to establish what's being effective!
Also I found that I was developing tolerance to PPIs - so the minimum effective dose will likely increase with time. If PPIs were that easy - this forum would be not nearly as busy!
Richard Torrens. - See my www site for my own experiences with Barrett's and reflux etc.
> them through the day works, experts disagree.
Not quite... I did experiment with times. Initially I found 40mg had effect for about 20 hours (as my consultant had said). 20mG lasted about 17 1/2 hours (the half-life effect).
I found for me 16 hours between doses was most effective. 7 a.m., 11 p.m. then 4.p.m the next day.
I did experiment with 5mG doses. Subsequent experience showed that 5mG doses were doing essentially nothing. You need a minimum dose size to be effective - probably why the smallest available capsule is 10mG.
And yes - there is a build-up in the system. I found on paper that detected effects (if I remember correctly) up to 6 months after stopping.
My own feeling is that it took my system neare two years to fully recover - but that's entirely subjective and very difficult to substantiate.
It's not at all easy to keep dosing correct - especially as the goal-post changes with time.
thanks all. I think i'll stick with even spacing but maybe if I know it's going to be a heavy lunch (Thursday is curry day in works canteen) will delay 1st 1 that day or do some Gaviscon as the starter.
If you know you'll be in for a troublesome day, it is OK to take an extra 20mg omeprazole pre-emptively.
And keep the Gaviscon for after the meal if needed, so it floats on top and reduces risk of reflux.
You should have a seat on the medical review board you have sense and you could save the NHS a lot of money but no common sense as per your posts .Maybe one seat will open up too on the Obamacare review board and you could be a double dipper also..


There was a request for my take on a Varolz, the Scar-Striped EDH deck, and since I don't get that many requests (except from Lauri), I thought "why not?" So, here's my deck.
A note on rules: If a creature has power/toughness of */*, then the ability that defines its power and toughness functions while its anywhere (such as Lord of Extinction). If a creature has a power/toughness 0/0 and an ability that gives it plusses (such as Nighthowler), then its power is 0 when you Scavenge it.
First, you need to understand the meta I'm playing in. Graveyard hate is rampant. There has been so much abusing of the graveyard that people are very wary of letting people use it. Most decks are going to have some ways to empty it or at least keep it under control. Crypt Incursion is popular, and I'm personally a big fan of Cremate. In this environment Varolz is going to be fairly weak. Also, tucking generals, and sweepers are popular.
With these in mind (and in my limited experience, they are not unusual circumstances), I can't really rely too much on a single ability of a single creature. Otherwise, the deck would probably be a cavalcade of cheap creatures with huge drawbacks, such as Phyrexian Dreadnought and Death's Shadow, as well as ways of getting them to your graveyard, such as Entomb, Buried Alive and the oft-forgotten Jarad's Orders.
So, instead, I'm going for a deck where Varolz is a good tool, but not the only way to win. The basic idea is that I'm going to do everything (or as much as possible) with creatures. This is going to limit us in many ways, because its going to mean very expensive and only sorcery speed removal, but we can live with that.
With this in mind, there's only two noncreature spells in the deck: Birthing Pod and Doubling Season. There's plenty of other potential spells, such as Hardened Scales (pretty marginal effect for a deck like this, but also very cheap), Retribution of the Ancients (can kill that pesky Ulamog or Blighty handily), or Solidarity of Heroes.
I'm going with these two specifically, because of how powerful they are. There's a newer, somewhat limited, version of Doubling Season available, but I can't remember its name or from which set its from, so it didn't get any thought here.
One key thing to the deck is that in this format blockers are easy to come by. Often the opponent will have be able to get themselves plenty of time to set up their end game while you're Varolz (or another big creature) is mindlessly attacking into 1/1 tokens. Therefore you need evasion (or pseudoevasion in the form of trample). There are other ways of doing this, which might work well, such as a number of Bestow-creatures from Theros: Nylea's Emissary, Noble Quarry, Herald of Torment, and Cavern Lampad. I just feel they are too expensive. They would fit our theme of creatures, and depending on your meta, they might work very well.
A very underappreciated card. Especially since there are a few very nice combos with it in the deck. The combo with Predator Ooze is actually one I used in standard. Ooze doesn't really work in this deck otherwise, but I just like it. Another one is with Vigor. Lets say you have (a very Magical Christmas Wonderland situation) Tuskguard Captain and a huge Lord of Extinction in play. Now, have those two fight. You'll have two immense creatures with trample to boot. The third one is with Pharika, God of Affliction. Its deathtouching snakes can be used to get rid of all sorts of pesky creatures.
Well, a bit problematic card, but in right hands (and the right situation), very powerful sweeper, which can be used to devastate your opponents, while leaving you relatively safe. Its going to be hard, but its possible. However, part of the format is having fun with cards like this. Also, dredge definitely works in this particular deck.
Some cards are more for fun than anything else… as usual in my decks.

Stow-on-the-Wold Accommodation
Stow-on-the-Wold Hotels, Apartments, Motels, Holiday Parks
Searching for hotels in Stow-on-the-Wold (United Kingdom) or Stow-on-the-Wold accommodation? The town of Stow –on-the-Wold is located at around two hundred and fifty meters above sea level, on a hilltop in Gloucestershire, England. It was founded in the 14th century, as a market town, by the Norman lords of the time, and has always sat at the convergence of several major roads in the Cotswold's area.
These days, there is no direct train service into Stow, although the Moreton-in-the-Marsh train station is only a few miles away, so it is still accessible by rail.
Stow has also always been the site of a horse fair, which continues to this day, although these days, there are a vast array of goods other than horses that are on offer. There are also Iron and Bronze Age burial mounds in the area, and the Evesham Abbey, which was originally the centre of town, does still exist. Then there are the Cotswold's themselves, which are very popular with walking and nature enthusiasts.

In Behn v. Moulton Contracting Ltd., the SCC dismissed an appeal from individual band members of the Fort Nelson First Nation and endorsed the position taken by two lower B.C. courts.
Among the issues addressed by the SCC was whether it amounts to an abuse of process for Aboriginal individuals — in this case all with the last name Behn — to challenge the validity of government issued authorizations as a defence to a legal claim when they failed to take legal action to challenge the government's authorization.
In my opinion, the Behns' acts amount to an abuse of process. The Behns clearly objected to the validity of the Authorizations on the grounds that the Authorizations infringed their treaty rights and that the Crown had breached its duty to consult. On the face of the record, whereas they now claim to have standing to raise these issues, the Behns did not seek to resolve the issue of standing, nor did they contest the validity of the Authorizations by legal means when they were issued.
In the case, members of the Aboriginal community had set up a camp blockade in October 2006 to interfere with a logging operation within Treaty 8 territory. The blockade meant the logging company, Moulton Contracting, couldn't get access to or cut the timber within the traditional territory of the Fort Nelson First Nation where the company was authorized to do so.
The Crown had granted licences to the logging company to harvest timber in two areas of the Fort Nelson territory.
The company brought a tort action against the members of the band (the Behns), who argued the licences were void because they had been issued in breach of the constitutional duty to consult and because violated their treaty rights.
For its part, the logging company filed a motion to strike those defences. The lower courts held that the individual members of the Aboriginal community did not have standing to assert collective rights in their defence — only the community could do so. The lower courts also concluded a challenge to the validity of the licences amounted to an abuse of process, as the members of the community had failed to challenge the validity of the licences when they were issued.
The abuse of process is a key factor in this case, says Thomas Isaac, who heads the national aboriginal law group at McCarthy Tétrault LLP in Vancouver.
Isaac says the decision is contrary to the perception that provincial governments try to convey that the law is uncertain in this area.
No Kyle, the logging permit was issued by the province on provincial Crown land that had been ceded by Treaty 8. The Behn family had trapping rights and collective treaty rights which the province had consulted the Band about.
Wouldn't stop me if I believed strongly enough to cause a road block.

Holt CAT Wins Environmental Award From STEER
The award honored companies that have made environmental stewardship a top priority.
Fri January 10, 2014 - West Edition
Attending Holt representatives (L-R) include Lee Perkins, Adam Haby, Kathi Harris, Lesley Sereno, Howard Hicks and Rene Rojas.
Holt CAT, the Caterpillar dealer for south, central, north and east Texas, has been awarded the Environmental Stewardship Award at the inaugural 2013 Eagle Ford Excellence Awards luncheon, presented by the South Texas Energy and Economic Roundtable (STEER) at the Briscoe Western Art Museum.
The award honored companies with 250 or more employees that have made environmental stewardship a top priority. Holt CAT was recognized for implementing programs including idling restrictions on vehicles, building new facilities that adhere to the U.S. Green Building Council Leadership standards, encouraging participation in the Texas Emissions Reduction Plan, and introducing an emissions-reducing technology to customers in the Eagle Ford Shale region, the Dynamic Gas Blending System, which has the ability to cut diesel deliveries by 50 percent and decrease harmful emissions.
"Holt CAT is honored to be recognized for our efforts to support a more sustainable environment," said Dave Harris, executive vice president and general manager of Holt CAT. "We seek to help our customers reduce their impact on the environment and to integrate sustainability into our core operations."
Holt leadership has committed that all new Holt CAT facilities will meet U.S. Green Building Council Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) standards or comparable green building standards. The Laredo facility is the fourth Holt CAT facility to meet the LEED certification standards and the third to qualify for LEED Gold certification. The company focuses on green building practices, education and guidance for its customers, implementation of its idle reduction program and providing innovative technologies for its customers that reduce emissions and save fuel.
"STEER stands by its commitment to protect and preserve the health of the environment, communities and individuals in our south Texas communities, and the Eagle Ford Excellence Award recipients set the standard for good corporate citizenship. STEER wanted to create a forum to recognize companies that make this a priority," said Omar Garcia, president of STEER.
Holt CAT has been recognized for its environmental efforts before, including: the 2012 Air Quality Stewardship Award by the Alamo Area Council of Governments (AACOG) and as the Winner of the 2011 North Texas Corporate Recycling Association gR3een Whole Circle Award for its extensive recycling activities.

Last month, a neighbor of mine fell while she was walking to her mailbox and scraped her leg very badly. I went to check on her and helped her clean the injury. It's been weeks now, and I can see the wound on her leg is not healing properly.

Two local natural beauties were chosen to promote the clothing of Title Nine: Lindsey Jameson with the oar and Sarah Latham in the air. Local talent scout Jennifer Diehl said the bonus of having the catalog shoot in the valley is the boost it brings to the economy as crews require housing, food, props, rental vehicles and production support. Jameson is director of Swiftsure Ranch Therapeutic Equestrian Center and Latham is an architect.


Apple's A9 chip, which is used in iPhone 6S, is made by two different companies, Samsung and TSMC. It was discovered last week that TSMC's chip delivered about 20% longer battery life in comparison to the Samsung's chipset. The intensive benchmark tests also lead to angry comments from the users.
However, Apple has hit back saying that such testing was not realistic as the chipsets were made to run at an intense rate. Apple says that when it tested the two chips and analysed the customer data, a difference of 2 to 3% was revealed.
Now, a test by Ars Technica has shown that the A9 chipset from TSMC offers a small advantage over Samsung. The chip has revealed replicated real world usage with looped web pages and built in idle time used to check how the batteries stood up.
