Max Payne 3 Hands-On Preview
Psy 3558 Days Ago 8287 Views
Over the weekend of April 20-22, I was invited to New York by Rockstar Games to preview Max Payne 3. You are currently reading a full write up of my trip. You can either head to iGTA5.com for just the Max Payne 3 details, or scroll down a bit.
Check out my Facebook for some more personal photos from the trip.
Day 1 (Friday April 20)
I got up at 4:30 AM to finish packing my bags and get ready. A taxi picked me up at 5:15 and took me to Newcastle airport. I was talking to the driver about my trip to New York to preview a new Rockstar game and he was jealous. Not surprised!
I got to the airport at around 5:40 AM and tried to check in, but I didn't have an ESPA visa despite the fact they're supposed to last for 2 years and I got one last year when I went to Los Angeles. USA wants you to pay for them now so I had to get a new one on the computers at the airport. $14 for the ESPA.
Finally got sorted and checked in then went upstairs through the security checks to the lounge and waited for my flight. Only had to wait about 15 mins then got on the plane. Flight left on time at around 6:55. Got a bacon and scrambled egg panini which was ridiculously nice and some orange juice on the plane and landed at Heathrow at around 8:15.
I met Chris, Jevon, Gerard and Nick at the airport from other fansites and after sitting round for a bit we went to out departure gate and waited to board the plane at around 8:45. I was sat right at the back in the middle aisle next to Chris. The other guys were further forward.
I had chicken curry for my lunch on the plane. It was nice enough but nothing special. The rice tasted like plastic. Which for plane food is pretty decent. Got a lemon yogurt for desert and had a cup of tea while playing on my iPad. Mainly played FIFA and Infinity Blade II, with a bit of Max Payne Mobile and GTA III thrown in. Flew the Dodo for a good 10 minutes before sinking into the ocean.
We landed on time at around 12:30 New York time but it took us over an hour to get through customs. They seem to enjoy having 4 staff operating the passport control when about 2,000 people are waiting to be checked! Once I got through I found out my bag didn't make it onto the flight from my connection but they gave me a $50 gift card which I can spend anywhere in the world in the next 3 months. It was supposed to be to spent on a toothbrush etc but I just saved it so I can waste it on something better later.
Once I was sorted with my bag, we were picked up by the driver and got one more guy on the way then sat in traffic all of the way to the hotel. It took a good hour plus to get there but we made it eventually.
We met one of the Rockstar representatives and got our room keys, then headed upstairs and got changed. Our mini bars were empty and locked which sucked! We waited around for a few hours for them to be opened but it never happened so we went to the bar for a drink and charged it to the room. The bar wasn't cheap though - $9 for a bottle of Heineken!
My room in the hotel
We got picked up by Rockstar shortly after and they took us to Brooklyn Bowl which is an old warehouse converted into a night club, bar, diner and bowling alley. Was pretty awesome really, plus I got to meet fellow iGTA admin TreeFitty for the first time. Wasn't even expecting to see him until the Saturday but Rockstar made last minute plans to get him there which was cool.
In the Bowling Alley they had a live jazz band on, we all ordered food and had unlimited refills of drinks. A few of us played bowling and we had 3 games in total. Jevon (GTA Net) won the first one but I managed to win the other two, despite cheating on the third game by using my good hand when everyone else was using their weaker hand.
Hey cousin, lets go bowling? Aww damn, Psy won.
We went back to the hotel at midnight-ish but we were all tired and by the time we actually got through the traffic which took a good hour so we went to bed. Not together, I should add.
Day 2 (Saturday April 21)
Over night my bag was delivered so I went downstairs to collect it but it was in security so they got someone to bring it up. I ordered room service too and got a Belgian waffle and a fruit salad with pineapple juice. Watched some of the football (sorry, I guess I should say soccer) on tv too. Mainly the boring Arsenal 0-0 Chelsea game.
Belgian waffles for breakfast
Watching one of the most boring games of football ever
Everyone met in the lobby downstairs and planned to walk to the new World Trade Center but as people arrived, more people decided they were coming so we had to sit and wait for an extra hour or so for everyone to get ready. Eventually we left and walked to the new WTC site. It's already pretty impressive, and immensely high. Not quite sure how finished it is. After there, we headed towards the Brooklyn bridge. A few of us walked most of the way across and took some photos while the rest decided to ditch us and go off on their own. The weather was amazing and pretty hot, I was sweating in just a t-shirt. Couldn't believe the number of joggers running across the bridge in the heat.

We hailed a cab and went to Times Square for some more photos and to have a look around but decided it would make more sense to get lunch at the hotel seeing as it wouldn't cost us anything, so we got a taxi back and ordered lunch. We nearly all got a grilled chicken sandwich which was nice but nothing amazing and we all had a few soft drinks. We put the whole bill on Drew's room which came to $400+. Well that's what he wants Rockstar to believe. Secretly, he probably did consume $400 worth of food .
Max Payne 3 Preview
Rockstar picked up myself and the other fansite webmasters from our hotel (the five star Soho Grand) at around 4:30 PM and took us to the old warehouse in Brooklyn which they used for the Red Dead Redemption fansite event a few years ago. There were shell casings all over the floor and a bunch of TV's and Xbox 360's set up with Max Payne 3 on them, plus a huge projection on the wall showing the game too. We all crowded around the projection and watched the brand new Max Payne 3 TV Spot which had just been launched that day. Once we'd had the game explained to us (the back story, the basic features of the game etc) we grabbed a controller and began playing.
The secret location where we played Max Payne 3
That's me in the green, making sure I at least learn the controls before being killed repeatedly
Max accepts a job offer from a man known as Raul Passos, a former collegue from his police force days. This gives him the opportunity he needs to escape from New York and his drink and painkiller problem, brought on by the traumas of the first two games. That, plus the chain of events which are started when Max and Passos are re-united means they have little choice but to leave the city.
Max "solving" his problems
Rockstar Games allowed us to play through three missions of Max Payne 3 on both Xbox 360 and PC. We weren't allowed to see the opening cutscenes or the first mission - which we were told is essentially a tutorial - but were able to play through the 2nd to 4th missions of the game.
Nightclub Level
Our first mission was set in a night club. After arriving in a helicopter with Rodrigo Branco, his beautiful trophy wife Fabiana and her sister Giovanna, Max is tasked with babysitting them while they dance the night away. Unfortunately a group of masked gunmen break into the place and kidnap her. It's then up to Max to chase after them and rescue Fabiana Branco and her sister before it's too late, which requires making your way through various rooms in the skyscraper nightclub and taking down multiple enemies at a time. You may have seen footage from this mission in the various trailers which have been released.
Back from the previous games is Bullet Time, which gives you a great opportunity to pick off multiple enemies in one go, especially when used alongside shootdodge. The physics and animations are incredibly realistic, especially the way Max will adjust his arms to ensure he's always pointing his gun where you're aiming even while your body may be going in the opposite direction.
In my opinion the biggest stand out feature in the game is the gore. Whenever you shoot people, wherever you shoot them, you'll see holes rip into their flesh and blood fly everywhere. If you kill the last enemy in a specific area, the shot that kills them will go in slow motion and you'll see the bullet or shrapnel fly towards them and make a mess of their body. The same thing also happens when you successfully complete Last Man Standing - see below.
Gore!!!
If you've played a previous Max Payne game you'll understand that painkillers are effectively health packs you can collect and use to recover damage. Previously you had to manually use painkillers before you took too much damage, but on Max Payne 3 if you get killed but still have remaining painkillers, you'll go into Last Man Standing mode. Everything will slow down and you'll have a few seconds to take down your killer. If you manage to kill them before you die - and the game will automatically move the aiming reticule towards them - you'll survive and continue playing, but you'll automatically use up a painkiller to keep yourself alive.
If you find a part of the game tricky and constantly die over and over (which I did, many times), the game will get slightly easier; either by giving you extra painkillers, more ammo or by removing or altering enemy behaviour. This helps to keep the game accessible for everyone, particularly during difficult firefights - of which there are many.
While chasing enemies through a level and taking them out, you are able to examine various scenes which will lead to Max describing what he sees, as seen in previous Max Payne games. This helps to improve your understanding of the story and is also quite interesting. You can and should also check around for painkillers, new weapons and ammo and bonus collectibles such as the Golden Guns. Be aware though, in some missions (such as this one) wasting too much time will cause you to fail. After all, you're supposed to be trying to free Fabiana and Giovanna from the kidnappers before they escape.
Stadium Level
The second mission we played was the stadium level which you may have seen in other previews. This was the most intense and difficult mission we played and I died dozens of times while trying to figure out the best technique to take out all enemies at various points. The mission moves between run and gun against large numbers of enemies to providing sniper cover for Passos while he evades pursuing enemies. There are a lot of interesting features on this level, particularly the physics. You can shoot footballs which will deflate or shoot boots which are hanging up and they'll fall down. There are also plenty of lights and windows for you to destroy if you feel like wasting ammo, not to mention enemies to splatter with a variety of weapons.
Max and Passos in the Stadium
New York Level
The final mission we saw was set in New York and is a flashback type mission which explains why Max is in this situation and why he had to leave NYC for Sao Paolo, Brazil. It begins with a bar fight and then requires you to move through various areas and open spaces taking out goons with Raul Passos. It didn't seem to be as long as the previous missions but I personally found it to be one of the most fun.
Max Taking Cover in his New York apartment block
After playing through the three missions in single player on both 360 and PC, I can safely say I much prefer the PC version of the game. That is a personal preference and isn't based on anything being wrong with the console versions, I've just always preferred to play shooters with a mouse and keyboard. I find aiming with analog sticks pretty difficult and it was a big part of the reason why I found certain parts of the game quite tough. You can of course change the game settings to make it easier, such as adding auto-lock or literally changing the game difficulty (which I presume alters the enemy AI, gives you more health etc) but I tried to play through on medium with manual aim to get a good feel for the game. The PC was much easier for me to control and I enjoyed it more because I spent less time worrying about trying to aim and more time pulling off multiple headshot combos! The graphics are very impressive on both platforms and the game runs smoothly throughout the epic firefights.
Everyone then moved back onto the Xbox version and played some multiplayer. Rockstar began by showing us through the menus and how detailed the character customisation can be. You can choose multiple load outs and customise almost every aspect of the game. I've never seen anything as detailed as this with regards to multiplayer customisation and you could quite easily spend a few hours getting everything set up before you even get in game.
Multiplayer Combat
I wasn't actually a part of the first multiplayer session as I had been playing the PC version single player and didn't get down in time to get a 360, but I watched some of the other guys playing and it looked pretty fun.
I eventually got to have a go a bit later and found it extremely easy to pick up and get involved with. Unfortunately I died a lot of times, but did manage to get a few kills which I was pretty proud of. The main point was that it was fun. Even dying is awesome as the game automatically generates a comic book style freeze frame showing the point of impact as the bullet takes off your nose! We also saw parts of the multiplayer Crews which makes for interesting sub plots within multiplayer, but because everything was happening so fast it's not something that too much attention was given to. Perhaps when I'm more familiar with how it all works it'll be a nice feature to use, but when stuff was popping up on the screen during the gameplay, I just pressed whatever I had to so it disappeared and I could get back in game to die again.
After the multiplayer I went back to the PC's and played through the missions again. I managed to find more items which I'd missed the first time, so there is certainly some replay value here, although the enemies are fairly scripted. Their AI is dynamic and they'll do different things based on what you're doing - such as flanking you if you stay in cover - but if you've played through a mission once and remember where the enemies were, you probably won't have too much of a problem the second time.
Some of the other fansite guys playing on PC
Overall I'm as impressed by Max Payne 3 as I thought I would be. Having just played through the first 2 games in the week leading up to the Max Payne 3 preview, I had a good idea of the gameplay elements which were carried into the new game but improved (such as Last Man Standing). I can't really comment too much on the story as I didn't see enough of it, or for the most part hear enough of it to know exactly what was going on, but everything else was exactly as I'd hoped.
Once again Rockstar Games are continuing to push the boundaries. Even if you haven't played the first two Max Payne games, this is definitely worth picking up. After all, who wouldn't want to dive through a window in slow motion wielding dual sub-machine guns and take out 5 enemies with headshots before you even hit the ground? It's what an action movie would look like if they had enough money for all the fake blood.
Final Reccommendation: Get This Game!
I said goodbye to TreeFitty and we headed back to the hotel after the event. By the time our useless driver had finished driving around in circles in the wrong part of New York we were too tired to do anything else and went straight to bed when we got in.
Day 3 (Sunday April 22nd)
I woke up early at around 6 AM and replied to some text messages from my girlfriend then went back to sleep for a few hours then ordered room service. This time I went for an English Breakfast with extra bacon, a Fruit Salad, a fruit Protein shake (which was amazing!) and a pot of tea. It took some eating, but it was great. And so it should, considering it was almost $70!
Because it was pouring with rain in NYC the majority of us just stayed in the hotel all day and chatted about subjects ranging from beauty treatments and acupuncture to LA Noire.
It rained all day on Sunday
Our car picked us up at 3:30 PM and we were at the airport just over an hour later. Traffic was terrible in NYC, like it probably is all the time. We got checked in and got through the totally unorganised security lines to check out the shops and duty free. I got myself a NYC mug but everything else was overpriced so I decided to save my cash for a different rainy day. We boarded the flight and I was sat next to Chris and Gerard.
Day 4 (Monday April 23)
The flight back to Heathrow was a bit quicker than the flight to NYC. It only took about 5 hours 50 to get back compared to around 7 hours there. I tried to sleep but didn't get much. I was absolutely exhausted by the time we came in to land. Could barely keep my eyes open and was practically hallucinating from lack of sleep.
I said goodbye to Chris, Gerard and Jevon then made my way through security to wait for my flight back to Newcastle. I had a few hours to kill so I started writing my thoughts of the Max Payne event on my iPad (which is what you're reading now) and spoke to my girlfriend.
The flight back was fine then I made my way home from the airport and accepted a load of new friend requests on Facebook from the new guys I'd met over the weekend. Overall it was another good trip. The hotel was nice and there were a lot of new guys to chat to from different fan sites. We also had a lot of free time to do what we wanted to do, but given that we'd already seen much of NYC it seemed a bit like wasted time given that we generally just hung out at the hotel and chatted.
I enjoyed it though and being able to play Max Payne 3 before it's launch was a great privelege. It's a fantastic game! Thanks Rockstar!

Is it possible you don't actually know how to best help your child actor rehearse for auditions, plays, or any other kind of acting work?
Hey, you mean well. But you might not realize your loving feedback on your kid's acting may not actually be helping them. You might be saying things like, "More sad", "Less angry" or (gasp) one of the worst offenders: "Smile!". You might even be giving them notes that are your choices and not theirs. It is not helpful to tell an actor to play an emotion. This is what is referred to as "result oriented" direction. Actors need actions.
So how can you help your child actor rehearse their songs, monologues, etc. in a way that actually supports them and makes their performances stronger?
First thing, send them to this blog to watch/read all my free lessons on technique (this one is good among others).
There's a lot to get into when it come to how to rehearse (including posts like these).
Do your best to avoid overtly directorial notes when working material. By this I mean notes that are choices. Instead, ask your young actor questions to get them thinking. You can help by reading the script/play (whatever material is available) and make sure their choices are supported by the text. If not, you can ask them questions to help guide them to better choices that are. Also help them avoid simply memorizing and "running it". This is a great way to cement in poor habits and choices. If there's time, a great way to work is to try so many things out and rehearse so much they just learn it. Check out the image below for 3 questions that will help get you started in the rehearsal process, especially if they get stuck.
If you'd like to get your hands on 10 more questions like these plus several vital audition "dos and don'ts", sign up below to get this free resource I created to help parents help kids.

The sounds of shaking glass.
Shift was my first attempt at minimalism. The music and the accompanying video were create for a master course.
The music is composed of just five sounds, all glass or ceramic ware from my kitchen. The sounds were then organised in patterns with the accents of those pattern changing throughout the piece.
The video was made in a similar vein. It was shot out of the window of a moving train at night. I tried to capture moments when of light in the darkness and then used these peaks of light in time with the accents in the music.
What I still like about this piece is the simplicity. It's five audio samples and five video samples, and not much else. And it sparked the piece which became the B side on my vinyl Dusk.

Chris Brown Opens Up About Growing Up
Chris Brown spoke with the U.K.'s The Mirror about Seth MacFarlene's joke about he and Rihanna at the Oscars, plus the status of his relationship with his fellow pop star and why he's learned to be a better man. Or something.
First, on his stepfather who abused his mother:
"He made me terrified all the time, terrified like I had to pee on myself. I remember one night he made her nose bleed. I was crying and thinking, 'I'm just gonna go crazy on him one day…' I hate him to this day."
On his previously volatile relationship with Rihanna and getting her forgiveness:
"Sometimes you row, you fight, with the one you love and things get said, stuff spirals. That night was the deepest regret of my life, the biggest mistake."
"But she loves me – what can I say? I'm forgiven… but, yes, I worked hard for it."
On what he's learned:
"I've learned a lot since that night and I've grown up. I was very young and I took a lot of stuff, fame, for granted. I didn't understand it. The support from those who do know me and the fans, who are incredible, got me through."
On Seth MacFarlene's joke at the Oscars lingering judgment the public has of him:
"People attack me and criticize me, it happens all the time. But they don't know me, and they don't know us. It doesn't bother me any more."

APNU, AFC locked in battle over formula for parliamentary seats
1 year ago Nice FM
The Alliance For Change (AFC) and A Partnership for National Unity (APNU) are yet to agree to a formula for allocating parliamentary seats after the March 2, 2020 general elections, with APNU Chairman, David Granger and AFC Leader Khemraj Ramjattan set to meet again next week Monday.
The two political leaders are yet to agree on how their coalition's winnings would be divided between the two political parties, according to high-level sources from both parties.
Sources from both sides said both parties have basically reached agreement that Ramjattan, the AFC's nominee for the prime ministerial post, would be Granger's running mate.
Indications are that the AFC would retain ministerial portfolios for Public Infrastructure, Public Security, Natural Resources and Telecommunications. There is some uncertainty over whether an AFC parliamentarian would be assigned ministerial responsibility for Agriculture.
Granger and Ramjattan are due to meet again next Monday, as they seek to hammer out a revised political agreement titled the Cummingsburg Accord which was signed at the Georgetown Club in North Cummingsburg, Georgetown, on February 14, 2015.
The AFC is also reportedly interested in a number of diplomatic postings.
AFC Chief Negotiator, David Patterson is already on record as saying that APNU and AFC have decided to put the allocation of local government seats on the back-burner until after next year's general and regional elections.
The Cummingsburg Accord does not cater for local government elections, but the AFC had expected that APNU would have used the 60-40 formula in a gentleman's overture to contest the 2016 and 2017 local polls.

SCHLACHTSCHIFFE
The Big Five - SMS Kaiser, Friedrich der Grosse, Kaiserin, K�nig Albert, and Prinzregent Luitpold
The largest class of capital ships completed for the Hochseeflotte, the five-strong Kaiser-class would serve as the center of the fleet throughout the war. They were the first German battleships with turbine propulsion, while SMS Prinzregent Luitpold was to be fitted with a large marine diesel engine on her center shaft (but never installed) for increasing cruising range. The turbines proved more successful, and to demonstrate their reliability the Kaiser and K�nig Albert sent in 1913-1914 on a good-will cruise to South America and South Africa. SMS Friedrich der Grosse served as fleet flagship from October 15, 1912 to March 14, 1917, and all five ships saw service at Jutland and in the Baltic in 1917 against the Russians. Interned at Scapa Flow, they were all scuttled and later successfully raised and scrapped.
The design was considered a success and served as the basis for the follow-on design, SMS K�nig.

Stephen Decatur football has had a rough season to say the least.
Decatur lost several key players due to either graduation or transfer.
And longtime head coach Bob Knox, who has coached the Seahawks since 1984, had to take a leave of absence due to family health reasons.
"From the time coach Knox told me that he would have to take a leave of absence from coaching to help care for his grandson, I knew this would not be a normal year," Stephen Decatur High School principal Tom Zimmer said.
But that doesn't mean they have given up hope.
"Thus far, we haven't won a game, but it hasn't been for lack of effort," Zimmer said. "Our players and coaches work hard during practice each week and play hard every Friday night."
Current players on the Seahawks have not forgotten what Knox has done for the team and for the program.
"He meant a lot to me," said senior defensive end and tight end Kevin Voyles. "We keep playing for his grandson."
Senior center and nose guard Jian Joobeen said it has been hard pushing through day-to-day without Knox on the sideline, but added the Seahawks have been working hard throughout the season.
Zimmer said the assistant coaches under Knox, including Stan Griffin, who has taken over as head coach for the time being, as well as Fred Billings and Joe Andrews, have stepped up to lead the team.

"It has been tough," interim head coach Stan Griffin said. "(The players) have the ability to play this game for a limited time only. They are playing for the love of the game."
Griffin said Knox's family situation has weighed on the players' minds throughout the season but he knows Knox would not want his team to dwell on it.
"We all come out here to play together and do our best to finish strong," Joobeen said.
Despite this, Decatur hangs on to hope. The team, along with the rest of the Stephen Decatur High School community, have rallied around Knox and his family.
On each one of Stephen Decatur's helmets this season is a blue sticker in the shape of a football. Eli, Knox's grandson's name, is written inside the football.
"It has been an amazing show of support from the community," Zimmer said. "Coach Knox has been able to see how much people care about him and his family and what he has meant, not only to (Decatur) football, but to many people in the community."
Zimmer said the outpouring of support has come from all over the Eastern Shore of Maryland.
"The idea that Kent Island, Easton and Queen Anne's football programs would make donations just shows the respect that people have for Coach Knox," Zimmer said.
In addition to support coming from other schools, there has been a GoFundMe account to help Knox's grandson, Zimmer said, which has raised over $15,000 as of Oct. 28.
"We continue to try to raise money to defray the astronomical medical expenses," Zimmer said. "I am proud to say that I am a principal in such an amazing community."

Barnett Berry is a research professor at the University of South Carolina, where he is the founding director of Accelerating for Learning and Leadership for South Carolina (ALL4SC) — an initiative launched in 2019, to marshal the resources of an entire R1 institution of higher education in service of high need school communities. Barnett's career includes serving as a high school teacher, a social scientist at the RAND Corporation, a professor at UofSC (in the 1990s), a senior state education agency leader, and senior consultant with the National Commission on Teaching and America's Future, leading its state partnership network.  From 1999 to 2018, Barnett led Center for Teaching Quality website, a non-profit he founded to conduct research and ignite teacher leadership to transform the teaching profession and public education for more equitable outcomes for students. Barnett has authored a wide array of over 120 policy and research reports, journal articles, and commissioned papers.  His two books, TEACHING 2030 and Teacherpreneurs: Innovative Teachers Who Lead But Don't Leave, frame a bold vision for the profession's future. He is the 2021 recipient of the  James A. Kelly Award for Advancing Accomplished Teaching from the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards and is a policy advisor for the Learning Policy Institute.

Education

Barnett Berry received his B.A. in Sociology from the University of South Carolina in 1977 and continued there to receive his M.Ed. Curriculum in 1978. He received his Ph.D. Educational Administration and Policy Studies from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 1984.

Career

Barnett Berry began his career as a public high school social studies teacher in Columbia, SC where he taught for three years. After completing his doctorate at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Berry joined the RAND Corporation as an Associate Social Scientist where he worked with Dr. Linda Darling-Hammond.

In 1987, Berry became the Associate Director of the South Carolina Educational Policy Center at the University of South Carolina before moving on to become Senior Executive in the Division of Policy at the South Carolina State Department of Education in 1991. From 1992-1999, he served as Associate Professor in the College of Education at the University of South Carolina.

In 1998, Berry was named Director, Policy and State Relations, for the National Commission on Teaching and America's Future (NCTAF) at Teachers College, Columbia University where he then became Interim Director (2001-2002).

Berry founded the Southeast Center for Teaching Quality in 1999 at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, which would later become known as the Center for Teaching Quality (CTQ). Over its 16-year history, CTQ has evolved from a think tank supporting teaching as a profession to an action tank for teacher leadership. In 2003, CTQ launched the nation's first virtual network of teacher leaders. The CTQ Collaboratory now welcomes teachers (and all who support teachers as leaders) to connect, learn, and collaborate to drive change.

Over the last week I've been designing a new iPhone app and it has been a lot of fun. I'm so excited about it that I am absolutely itching to share but since I can't share everything, I'll share my process and some preliminary ideas.
My first step was to take a look at whats out there and read the docs from apple .
Wireframing: Drew some sketches/models on my notepad and iPad.
So far I just have five of these mocks done. It's going really fast and I am sure that I will have a few more iterations of the main design before I'm done. The great thing about this project is that my son (age 11) decided that he has to have his input, whenever he can he's been keeping me company and giving me his very opinionated advice instead of playing in other ways. I have to say his insight has been very helpful.

Conversely and words
Conversely, Derek Bickerton and others argue that the advent of abstract words provided a mental basis for analyzing higher-order relations, and that any communication system that remotely resembles human language utterly relies on cognitive architecture that co-evolved alongside language.
Conversely, Sinhalese has also borrowed from the original Vedda language, words and grammatical structures, differentiating it from its related Indo-Aryan languages.
Conversely, older speakers in some regions ( such as the American South ) may use in words like coach and road that have in SE ( i. e., ).
Conversely, some words appear to be a prefixed form of an opposite, but the opposite term does not exist, such as inept, which appears to be in-+ * ept ; such a word is known as an unpaired word.
" Conversely, the ever-professional Hoppy delivers a speech filled with police jargon and big words, which confuses Fred and / or Lamont thus turning to Smitty, who would then translate Hoppy's speech into Jive.
# Conversely, many older British Jews consider it more colloquial and " down-home " to say " Shobbes ", " cholla " and " motza ", though the vowel in these words is in fact a patach, which is rendered as in both Sephardi and Ashkenazi Hebrew.
Conversely, words such as banjee, while well-established in a subset of gay society, have never made the transition to popular use.
Given then a normal extension L of K, with automorphism group Aut ( L / K ) = G, and containing α, any element g ( α ) for g in G will be a conjugate of α, since the automorphism g sends roots of p to roots of p. Conversely any conjugate β of α is of this form: in other words, G acts transitively on the conjugates.
Conversely, some non-Latin words ending in-us or Latin words that would not have pluralized with-i in Latin are given an-i ending in English.
Conversely, words ending in consonants are very common in Milanese.
Conversely, exception words, or irregular words, that do not follow the spelling-sound rules are processed through the lexical route.
Conversely, poets such as John Milton alternated between short and long forms for function words, depending on whether they occurred on or off the meter.
Conversely, synthetic languages often combine many lexical morphemes into single words, making it difficult to boil them down to the traditional sense of words found more easily in analytic languages ; this is especially difficult for polysynthetic languages, such as Inuktitut and Ubykh, where entire sentences may consist of a single word.
Conversely and containing
Conversely, if I is not maximal, then there is a right ideal J properly containing I.
Each convex set containing X must ( by the assumption that it is convex ) contain all convex combinations of points in X, so the set of all convex combinations is contained in the intersection of all convex sets containing X. Conversely, the set of all convex combinations is itself a convex set containing X, so it also contains the intersection of all convex sets containing X, and therefore the sets given by these two definitions must be equal.
Conversely, if a double sharp were added to any other note not containing a sharp or flat as indicated by the key signature then the note will be raised two semitones or a whole step with respect to the chromatic scale.
Conversely, it also showcased Wayne Shorter's playing to the extent of containing more saxophone solos than any other Weather Report album in the band's entire career.
Conversely, a folder containing music files would offer options to play those files in a media player, or to go online to purchase music.
Conversely, a buried ditch, with a fill containing more organic matter than the natural earth, provides much more conducive conditions and water will naturally collect there, nourishing the plants growing above.
Conversely and word
Conversely, it being set apart implies the opposite-that someone took the clothes off in an ordinary manner ; furthermore, the Greek text uses the word, entetuligmenon, " having been folded up ", seeming to imply some intentional action had been taken on the soudarion.
Conversely, on the next line, the end of " I come to bury Caesar, not to praise him " has an extra syllable because omitting the word " him " would make the sentence unclear, but adding a syllable at the end would not disrupt the meter.
Conversely, the word also figures in idiomatic phrases such as " the dog's bollocks ", " top bollock ( s )", or more simply " the bollocks " ( as opposed to just " bollocks "), which will refer to something which is admired, approved of or well-respected.
Conversely, two unitary district councils added the word " county " to their titles to become " Rutland County Council District Council " and " County of Herefordshire District Council ".
Conversely, in the Hebrew language compound, the word ב ֵּ ית ס ֵ פ ֶ ר bet sefer ( school ), it is the head that is modified: the compound literally means " house-of book ", with ב ַּ י ִ ת bayit ( house ) having entered the construct state to become ב ֵּ ית bet ( house-of ).
Conversely, in the word 煙草 ( tabako ) for " tobacco ", the individual kanji respectively mean " smoke " and " herb ", which corresponds to the meaning, but they have no phonetic relationship to the word tabako – this is 熟字訓 ( jukujikun ).
Conversely, neutral quotes may indicate that the word or phrase in quotes has changed in meaning since its usage in the specific instance, especially if the word or phrase has gained a controversial or pejorative meaning.
Conversely, where the word " banci " seems innocuous enough in Malaysia (" census "), in Indonesia it is a derogatory term for " transvestite ".
* Conversely, the word knave originally meant " boy " and only gradually acquired its meaning of " person of low, despicable character ".
Conversely and to some surprisingly, the word may be used to mean " approve of ," especially in an official sense.
Conversely and itself
Conversely, glancing toward the sun, the colors that were not scattered away — the longer wavelengths such as red and yellow light — are directly visible, giving the sun itself a slightly yellowish hue.
Conversely, if W is subspace of V, then W is itself a vector space under the operations induced by
Conversely, unlike a human being, an animal does not objectify itself, as " the subject ", nor its products as ideas, " the object ", because an animal engages in directly self-sustaining actions that have neither a future intention, nor a conscious intention.
Equipped with this notion of length, a Riemannian manifold is a metric space, meaning that it has a distance function d ( p, q ) whose value at a pair of points p and q is the distance from p to q. Conversely, the metric tensor itself is the derivative of the distance function ( taken in a suitable manner ).
Conversely, this is satirised as bleeding edge technology by skeptics ( this may itself be an example of the appeal to tradition fallacy ).
Conversely a boat on an upwind course may find itself trapped in the dirty air of a boat immediately to windward.

Marsupilami is a fictional comic book species created by Andre Franquin, first published on 31 January 1952 in the Franco-Belgian comics magazine Spirou.
After that you can take your yarns and hook and make one for yourself and have fun every day watching this silly creature gooofing around your room with his silly face, long bouncing ears and tail.
Marsupilami was done few weeks ago, but was waiting for my friends from the Facebook group to finish trying out the pattern so the final pattern comes out with as little mistakes as possible.
One more look of to Marsupilami and we can get started with the pattern.
Cluster stich – 2dc under same stitch; follow the link for explanation and how to.
Work is done in continuous rounds (spiral work). Use marker for easier round following.
Stuff the head nice and firm.
Tie off. Stuff the head some more if needed.
Stuff the fingers at this point.
R12 sc7, ch1 fold the last row in half and slip stitch through 7 stitches (this can be difficult as the piece is small, if you find it easier, you can sew the back instead).
What we have done here, is closed the foot. Now it is round, opened only on top side, where we'll continue with crocheting the leg.
Reaching the end – closing the back of the foot (after 7 sts made) change color to yellow.
Add more stuffing to the foot and continue stuffing the leg as you go.
Note: to add knees make 3cluster stitches (each with 2dc) in the front area of the round 19.
At the end of R28 tie off and cut ends.
This leg we have just made was right side one.
Start making leg as written above. Changes on the pattern will start at R8.
Continue with the pattern as written above, but don't cut the thread and tie off.
Stuff the body nice and firm.
Finish stuffing the body. Ad some more stuffing at the time when sewing head and body together to make the neck part nice and firm.
Each hand will have four fingers. Middle finger is one round longer.
Stuff the hand and continue stuffing the arm as you go.
To add elbows, make 3 cluster stitches with 2dc each. Add them around rounds17-18.
Tie off leaving long end for sewing.
Black pupils are placed in the inner sides of eyes, between rows 2-3. I have painted mine, but if you are using safety eyes or beads this is the place where to position them.
White eye parts are placed next to each other on the upper half side of the head. (eyes and mouth piece will meet on the middle of the head (so pay attention to that).
Nose will be placed the way to touch the outer eye line and will go through 4-5 rounds over the mouth piece.
Tie off leaving long end for sewing the nose on the head. Stuff the nose well.
Place and sew the nose as described above.
Flatten the ears, tie off leaving long end for sewing them on the head later.
Position the belly on the lower side of the body and sew it nicely.
R1-… make tail as long as you like using 6sc Marsupilami has very long tail. I suggest making it 26 cm (12"). That size won't make it too long and will still be nice and long.
Last 5 rounds *inc1, sc2* x2 (8 sts), next 4rounds stitch 8sc for firmer tail body connection.
Time to sew all body parts together.
Connect head and body. Sew on the arms. Place them around rounds 24-25. Round 25 needs to be left free as you will put additional hairs here to create fur around neck.
At the end place on and sew the ears. Sew them on top sides of the head, rounds 5-6.
When sewing use one round stitches on the head and sew through both loops of the ears. Try to make them point upwards so ears can appear fluffy and in motion.
At the end sew the tail on.
Position it centered on the lower back side of the body, 5-6 rounds upwards from feet connected round.
What is left is to embroider black spots on it's body.
Making fur around neck (arms and legs) is optional.
As you could see, I left front loops on arms, legs and around neck area. I have put on these extra hairs around neck only.
It is done as making hair. You will hook and knot yarn pieces through front loops, and when all done, trim it in V shape (longer points in front and back).
I have also added a fish Marsupilami holds in his hand. You can add it as well if you wish.
We have to finish our toy with one more tiny detail and it is fish Marsupilami is holding.
From next round we'll start decreasing so start stuffing the body as you go.
By now fish should be stuffed well. Tie off leaving long end for sewing. Thread the needle with excess yarn and close the last round nicely.
Repeat at both sides paying attention to make them as symmetrical as possible.
With white yarn and embroidery needle sew on the eyes. With black thread ad pupils on top of each eye.
Hope the fish was not difficult to make and it ended up cute.
And that's it! Your Marsupilami is finished! Hope you have enjoyed making him and even more will enjoy playing!
I think I may have posted my question on the wrong page. I'm having a problem with the legs of Marsupilami. On round 12 of the feet, after I have the toes connected and I fold the last row in half and slip stitch through 7 stitches, it is not round and opened only on top side. I have no place to continue crocheting the leg. Love all you patterns and any help on this would be greatly appreciated.
That should be the point to have only the top part of the leg opened, so you can continue with the leg. Round 12 of the foot is your last round, or closing round of foot making.
After you finish the foot, you will continue with crocheting upwards, where opening is and start with leg. Hope it makes sense.
You can send me photo of piece you've done so far, and maybe seeing it I can tell you more and clearer.
Thank you very much for the pattern. I am doing it for my song but in black.
I don't understand how to do the feet from R5 to R12. Can you help me with picture or more explanation?
Don't think I have any photos on how to join fingers. Will have to make some. But before I do make photo tutorial will try to give you brief description.
What you have to do is connect fingers. Think of them as each having two sides, and each side of 3 stitches. Once you start connecting them, you bring finger to your work and make single crochets over three stitches, then you bring next one, and again 3 single crochets there….continue until all fingers are connected.
Having last finger on, and connected over 3 stitches, you can continue with opposite side.
Opposite side will be the one you haven't stitched yet. Each finger will have remaining 3 unworked stitches on, and now you have to work them too. One by one, work each stitch with single crochets. 3 sc on each finger until you reach the end, or your start of the round.
next round should be easy.
When you reach the round where thumb will be added. You will do the same. The only exception is that each of first three stitches (when thumb is added) have to be done through thumb stitch and you base (working piece). Think of it as going through two stitches at the same time. Repeat this for all three stitches, then continue crocheting through one stitch (as you did all the way). Next round over thumb; forget about base, and work over unworked stitches on thumb.
Hope it makes sense, and hope I haven't made it to complicated.
let me know if I ca assist you some more. I will try to make photo tutorial soon.
Thank you. i will try again with your description.
Thank you Maz! Thanks for finding time to visit and even more to leave comment.
Thank you Pinar for the link! Going to check it out right away!


gṛhītvā — accepting; api — even though; indriyaiḥ — with his senses; arthān — objects of the senses; yaḥ — who; na dveṣṭi — does not hate; na hṛṣyati — does not rejoice; viṣṇoḥ — of the Supreme Lord, Viṣṇu; māyām — the illusory potency; idam — this material universe; paśyan — seeing as; saḥ — he; vai — indeed; bhāgavata-uttamaḥ — a first-class devotee.
Even while engaging his senses in contact with their objects, one who sees this whole world as the energy of Lord Viṣṇu is neither repelled nor elated. He is indeed the greatest among devotees.
According to Śrīla Śrīdhara Svāmī, the position of the uttama-adhikārī, or first-class devotee of the Lord, is so worshipable that additional symptoms are now given in eight verses. It should be understood that unless one comes in contact with the lotus feet of a pure devotee of the Lord, the path of freedom from material illusion is very difficult to understand. In the fifth verse of Śrī Upadeśāmṛta Śrīla Rūpa Gosvāmī has stated, śuśrūṣayā bhajana-vijñam ananyam anya-nindādi-śūnya-hṛdam īpsita-saṅga-labdhyā: "One should associate with and faithfully serve that pure devotee who is advanced in undeviated devotional service and whose heart is completely devoid of the propensity to criticize others." Śrīla Prabhupāda comments, "In this verse Śrīla Rūpa Gosvāmī advises the devotee to be intelligent enough to distinguish between the kaniṣṭha-adhikārī, madhyama-adhikārī and uttama-adhikārī. A neophyte Vaiṣṇava or a Vaiṣṇava situated on the intermediate platform can also accept disciples, but such disciples must be on the same platform, and it should be understood that they cannot advance very well toward the ultimate goal of life under his insufficient guidance. Therefore a disciple should be careful to accept an uttama-adhikārī as a spiritual master." Therefore additional symptoms will now be given so that the conditioned soul who desires to go back home, back to Godhead, can properly identify the bona fide spiritual master.
According to Śrīla Śrīdhara Svāmī and Śrīla Jīva Gosvāmī, associating with a pure devotee of the Lord is so important that now that the various categories of devotional service have been defined, eight additional verses are given concerning the qualifications of a pure devotee, so that students of Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam will make no mistake in this connection. Similarly, in the Second Chapter of Bhagavad-gītā Arjuna asked Kṛṣṇa about the symptoms of a completely Kṛṣṇa conscious person, and Kṛṣṇa elaborately explained the symptoms of one who is prajñā pratiṣṭhitā, or established in Kṛṣṇa consciousness.
This state of complete satisfaction in the devotional service of Kṛṣṇa is not a mental concoction achieved by artificial meditation, but is a result of having experienced the superior nature of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, who is a reservoir of transcendental bliss. As stated in Bhagavad-gītā (2.59), rasa-varjaṁ raso 'py asya paraṁ dṛṣṭvā nivartate. When impersonalists and voidists artificially try to push material things out of their minds, they undergo great hardships and ordeals in their artificial meditation.
According to Lord Kṛṣṇa, it is only with great inconvenience and suffering that one can achieve impersonal liberation, because every living being is eternally a person, being part and parcel of the Supreme Person, Kṛṣṇa. The concept of giving up one's personal identity is a reaction to the terrible frustration of material egotism. It is not a positive program. If one is suffering unbearable pain in his hand, he may agree to have the hand amputated, but the real solution is to remove the infection so that the healthy hand may become a source of pleasure. Similarly ego, or the sense that "I am," is a source of unlimited happiness when we understand what we are, namely servants of Kṛṣṇa. Impersonal meditation is dry and troublesome. A pure devotee realizes that he is an eternal person, part and parcel of the Supreme Person, Lord Kṛṣṇa, and that he has the privilege as the son of God to participate in the ecstatic eternal pastimes of the Supreme Lord, loving Kṛṣṇa and playing with Him forever. For such a devotee the pale material nature, which is but a perverted reflection of the spiritual world, becomes totally unattractive. Therefore, one who is completely attached to Kṛṣṇa and uninterested in the manifestations of māyā can be considered bhāgavatottamaḥ, a pure devotee of the Lord, as described in a previous verse (bhaktiḥ pareśānubhavo viraktir anyatra ca).
Śrīla Madhvācārya has stated, viṣṇor māyāṁ viṣṇv-icchādhīnām: "The words viṣṇor māyām in this verse indicate that the illusory energy always remains dependent upon the will of Lord Viṣṇu." Similarly the Brahma-saṁhitā (5.44) says, sṛṣṭi-sthiti-pralaya-sādhana-śaktir ekā chāyeva yasya bhuvanāni bibharti durgā. Māyā is like a shadow of the Supreme Personality of Godhead who serves Him in the creation, maintenance and annihilation of this world. Just as a shadow has no independent power of movement but follows the substance that casts the shadow, the illusory energy of the Lord has no independent power, but bewilders the living entities according to the Lord's desire. One of Kṛṣṇa's opulences is that He is supremely detached; when a living entity wants to forget Him, Kṛṣṇa immediately employs His illusory energy to facilitate the foolishness of the conditioned soul.
According to Śrīla Jīva Gosvāmī the words gṛhītvāpīndriyair arthān indicate that the pure devotee of the Lord does not cease acting within this world; rather, he uses his senses in the service of the Lord of the senses, Hṛṣīkeśa. Hṛṣīkeṇa hṛṣīkeśa-sevanaṁ bhaktir ucyate. Śrīla Rūpa Gosvāmī has stated that if one gives up those material things which are favorable for serving Kṛṣṇa, considering them material and therefore an impediment to his spiritual advancement, his renunciation is merely phalgu-vairāgya, or immature and imperfect renunciation. On the other hand, one who accepts all material things for the service of Kṛṣṇa without any personal desire for sense gratification is actually renounced (yuktaṁ vairāgyam ucyate).
Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura has warned in his commentary on this verse that by envying any of the three classes of devotees — uttama-adhikārī, madhyama-adhikārī or kaniṣṭha-adhikārī — one falls down to the platform of impersonalism and loses all power to benefit others or even himself. Therefore those who are trying to advance in Kṛṣṇa consciousness should not endanger their transcendental experience by unnecessarily criticizing other Vaiṣṇavas. According to Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura, if one engages in phalgu-vairāgya, or renouncing material things that are favorable to the service of Lord Kṛṣṇa, one runs the risk of being polluted by impersonal philosophy. On the other hand, by sticking to the principle of yukta-vairāgya, engaging everything for Kṛṣṇa without personal desire, one can remain aloof from the danger of material sense gratification and gradually come to the mahā-bhāgavata platform, as mentioned in this verse.


If you grew up a child of the '90s like me, milling about at the mall was an easy way to stave off boredom. With all the brick-and-mortar retailers filing for bankruptcy — Toys R Us, Payless and The Limited to name a few — I've been battling with the bittersweet feels. On one hand, there's nostalgia. I fondly recall time spent window shopping while snacking on a Cinnabon. On the other hand, the deal-seeking opportunist in me wonders how to take advantage.
Here's how to get the best deals when a store goes out of business.
Want to know a retailer's secret? Liquidation sales usually start at 13% off, said Lindsay Sakraida, director of content marketing with DealNews. That's less than the usual discounts at a Ross or Marshalls.
Sometimes these sale items were cheaper a few weeks earlier during the store's normal promotions. Some retailers bring prices back up to the original retail price, then bump them down. So you may not be getting the best deal after all.
Unfortunately, people who shop store closing sales sometimes believe everything is an amazing deal because the store is trying to get rid of inventory, said Sakraida.
So when is the best time to pounce on a liquidation sale? Store closing sales typically take five to seven weeks to run their course, so try shopping during week four to get the higher discounts, said Sakraida.
While major retailers may not give you the best deal right away, mom and pop stores are unlikely to increase prices for a liquidation sale, said Sakraida. Instead, they'll offer new markdowns to existing discounts. So if a local, independently owned store is going out of business, the deals are more likely to be worth your time from the start.
While in the store, take time to compare prices online. You can use the price check tool on the ShopSavvy or Amazon app.
If the entire retailer is filing bankruptcy, be sure to use your gift cards stat. However, if just the brick-and-mortar shops are shuttering, you may still be able to redeem a gift card online.
Chances are if it's a liquidation sale all sales are final. But if only a few physical locations are shutting down, you might be able to make returns and exchanges. When in doubt, ask the person at the cash register about their exchange policy.
I'm a sucker for sales too. But you'll want to avoid the shopping traps retailers like to set. Remember: The best way to save money is to avoid spending.
If you're on a budget, the same rules apply: Make a list of things you want, and budget on exactly how much you want to spend. Don't buy stuff you don't need. If you're concerned about shopping on impulse, consider carrying only cash.
A store closing up shop could potentially save you some money as long as you're savvy about retail trickery.

Lame Duck Betrayal in Same Sex Marriage Vote
Nov. 29, 2022, Fairfax, Va.—Americans for Limited Government President Rick Manning today issued the following statement on Senate passage of H.R. 8404:
"Arizona Senator Kyrsten Sinema did not have the votes to pass the disinformation bill called the Respect for Marriage Act before the election, so she agreed to delay a final vote on the bill until after election day in a lame duck session. Lame duck sessions occur in the most dangerous time of the legislative calendar – when Members of Congress have already faced the voters and many have been defeated or have retired from office. Meaning, it is the one time when they are not beholden to those who voted them into office. Who are they beholden to? A crass observer would speculate that it would be their next employer. In the case of the same sex marriage bill, so many of the major corporations in America have woke environment, social and governance (ESG) policies that coveted Board and C-Suite positions depend upon bowing to that ideology.
"It was a good political tactic for Sinema to urge the vote be pushed back past the election, but it is a terrible indictment of those Senators who wouldn't vote for the bill before the election, but would afterward. The twelve GOP Senators who voted for cloture are (asterisk denotes lame duck status). NOTE: there is no public record of how these Senators would have voted before election day, but linked reporting at the time explains why the bill was delayed until after November 8):
Susan Collins of Maine
Lisa Murkowski of Alaska (re-elected due to deal cut with Alaska Democrats)
*Rob Portman of Ohio
Mitt Romney of Utah
Thom Tillis of North Carolina
*Roy Blunt of Missouri
Cynthia Lummis of Wyoming
*Richard Burr of North Carolina
Shelley Moore Capito of West Virginia
Dan Sullivan of Alaska
Joni Ernst of Iowa
Todd Young of Indiana
"Is there any wonder why cultural conservatives feel no urgent need to vote for Republican leadership? Remember this vote on December 5, as Democrat incumbent Warnock was able to not vote to bring this controversial issue to the floor less than a week before his run-off election because the Senate GOP couldn't even muster a strategy where they only provided ten votes forcing Reverend Warnock to return to DC and cast a vote that many of his followers would have found to be abhorrent to the Biblical values they hold and adhere to.
"In the end, this bill is a catastrophe for religious liberty and will be tested in federal court, but it also shows a complete failure of GOP leadership in the Senate, which couldn't even muster enough gumption to force Warnock, who they claim to oppose to cast a very bad political vote right before his election day."

Controversial Mountain Inches Closer To New Name
By Maggie Mullen • May 31, 2019
Mount Doane in Yellowstone National Park.
Originally published on June 3, 2019 11:01 am
A prominent feature of Yellowstone National Park is one step closer to getting a new name. Thursday, the Wyoming Board of Geographic Names voted in favor of changing Mount Doane to First Peoples Mountain.
In 2017, several Native American tribes formally petitioned for the change because the name celebrates Army Lieutenant Gustavus Doane. More than a century ago, he led a violent massacre of nearly 200 men, women and children of the Piikani Tribe.
The board voted 6 to 2 to change the mountain's name. Vice Chairman Jack Studley was one of the two votes against the renaming.
"The purpose of the board of geographic names, both Wyoming and the U.S. Board, is not to correct injustices," he explained. "Our purpose is to evaluate whether or not the name that has been applied to that geographic feature was an individual who had a significant impact upon the area."
The board was also asked to consider renaming Yellowstone's Hayden Valley. It was named after one of the park's first surveyors, Ferdinand Hayden, who compiled a geological survey that called for the extermination of American Indians. The vote to retain that name was seven to one.
Whether or not Mount Doane is renamed the First Peoples Mountain is ultimately up to the U.S. Board of Geographic Names. But the local decision will be taken into the final consideration.
This story was produced by the Mountain West News Bureau, a collaboration between Wyoming Public Media, Boise State Public Radio in Idaho, KUNR in Nevada, KUER in Salt Lake City, and KRCC and KUNC in Colorado.

For those who have not had the opportunity to serve in the U.S. Armed Forces, it's impossible to put into words the truly unique experience serving our country provides. Duty and service makes a person who they are and the bonds that are formed in the military can sometimes be stronger than family. At SDV Solutions, we understand the sacrifice that these men and women make because we've been there and we've made those sacrifices too. We know that there is no better pool of talent than the U.S. Military, an organization centered around learning and leadership. Over half of our team members are military veterans and we're proud to tell their stories through our series we're calling #DutyToServe.
Meet EnyJah Osborne, Field Services Regional Lead
EnyJah Osborne is a Field Services Regional Lead at SDV Solutions, having been with us for the past three years. Before joining SDV, EnyJah served in the Army National Guard. His experience in the military and the life lessons he learned prior to enlisting have contributed to his success at SDV Solutions.
Where He Got His Taste for Travel
EnyJah was born and raised in Cincinnati but grew up partially in the Virgin Islands, where he frequently visited family. His time in St. Croix is what gave him a love for travel and experiencing new things. EnyJah recounts that "it shaped me in a way that… I got to see something different. I got to see how different people live, and it made me want to actually travel a lot more."
Early Influences & Memorable Lessons
One of the biggest impacts in EnyJah's youth was the lifelong friends that he made. Reflecting back, EnyJah says, "They've really helped me shape my life and knowing where I came from to where I am now…being able to bounce ideas off of them…having conversations and just seeing our growth as adults from when we were children has… been really impactful about how I address life, how I address words, [and] what really matters to me."
Another one of EnyJah's influences growing up was his mother. Being in downtown Cincinnati, he lived in some rougher neighborhoods during his childhood. His mom moved them around a lot, although he didn't really understand why until he was older.
EnyJah talks about how everything his mother did was all for a chance at a better life. "She always wanted the best for us. So she was always sacrificing and making, you know, the changes that she needed to make. And we just kind of went along with it. We didn't realize that at the time as children…but now as an adult, I can see, you know, [us] moving every other year or every couple of years was really my mom elevating in her life."
Built to Serve
EnyJah always knew he wanted to serve. The jobs he worked prior to joining the military gave him the life lessons he needed to succeed in the service. He learned how to respect authority and understand the chain of command. But it was the military that really gave him the skills to succeed in life.
What He Learned in the Service
When he joined the Army National Guard at 23 years old, his experience landed him a high score on his ASVAB. That meant he had options when it came to choosing his own path. From where he first started to where he ended up, EnyJah learned a lot of important lessons along the way.
The Ability to Easily Adapt
EnyJah started out as a Signal Support System Specialist, which enabled him to work on a lot of different things. He says his work there gave him the ability to easily adapt, something that comes in handy at his current job.
"…We literally did everything from radios to satellites, to computers. And that really opened the door for what I do now, which is a lot of, you know, hodgepodge. We don't work on the same piece of equipment every day. So you have to learn what you're working on on the spot sometimes, or you have to do the research. And that really was a big stepping stone being able to step out of my comfort zone and, you know, really finding who I was and what I want to say," EnyJah said.
How to Understand Other Perspectives
EnyJah spent six years in the service, with one deployment in Afghanistan. He eventually became a subject matter expert for the brigade, working directly for a major.
As a specialist, he often questioned the reasoning behind things, saying, "…in the military you don't really get a lot of information. And for me, I like to have information so I know how I need to operate at my level…you might not see the whole picture all the time, but there is a bigger picture that you're a part of." That taught him one of the biggest lessons he ever learned: how to understand other people's perspectives.
The Road to SDV Solutions
After he left the military, EnyJah landed a job at Nationwide, where one of the people he deployed with worked in the data center. He was able to translate what he learned in the service to fit the job description. His path eventually led him to SDV Solutions. EnyJah started out with SDV as a contractor doing work for them on the side. When he got the call asking him to come on full-time, it was the perfect opportunity.
As Field Services Regional Lead for the East, EnyJah manages the site in Columbus and all the dispatches in the East Coast. He says no two days are the same, "But there's always something going on because something always needs fixed in the IT world."
Being in the military taught EnyJah how to think on his feet, stay organized, and keep cool under pressure — all things he needs on a daily basis at SDV Solutions.
"Our Job is to Make You Happy"
EnyJah stays humble, but he always goes the extra mile to ensure customers are satisfied with their service. He just wants people to know that "we're regular people, just like everyone else. We're here to do a job. We're here to make sure that we get it done. And I found that, you know, some situations we get put in, we still pull out miracles and the customers are still always happy…we're always going to go above and beyond to make it work because that's our job, just to make you happy."
Growing His Own Business
When he's not working, EnyJah operates his own small photography business on the side. After deciding one day to sell his PS4 and invest in a camera, EnyJah taught himself how to do photography through YouTube. His hobby quickly turned into a profit, and he was able to buy back his PS4 in no time.
He's now been published in several magazines and runs a successful side hustle. EnyJah says that for him, photography is "just something that I thoroughly enjoy. I love taking pictures of families, seniors, things like that because I see [the] parents' looks or the mom's looks, and they're so excited. They're so happy. It just makes me happy." We're excited to support EnyJah's passion for photography.
Hopes & Dreams for the Future
EnyJah is also passionate about his role at SDV and has loved seeing the company grow over the past few years. When asked about his future plans, EnyJah said he doesn't have it all mapped out yet. He just wants to continue developing alongside the company, saying, "I love seeing the company grow. It's absolutely a great thing to see, especially with me being a small business owner myself on the side.
It's really one of those things where I saw where the company came from three years ago and I see where it is now. And it's absolutely amazing. And I just liked being a part of it. It's fulfilling to be a part of it. So I would probably say my biggest [goal] is just to continue to grow with the company…That's kinda the end goal I think for everybody is, you know, just grow."

A special pre-concert tour of the Cathedral's exquisite Chapels of the Tongues introduces this program, and celebrates the immigrant communities that have made New York City one of the greatest cities in the world. Instrumental ensemble Rose of the Compass will present music from the cultures represented by the cathedral's seven Chapels, while the Cathedral Choir will answer with pieces by immigrants who composed in America, sharing their culture and their art. Composers will include Vincent Persichetti, whose parents came from Italy and Germany; F. Melius Christiansen, the great founder of the St. Olaf Choir; Rebecca Clarke and Tarik O'Regan, who both emigrated from the British Isles; Jean Berger from Germany; and Igor Stravinksy from Russia. The concert will culminate with a world premiere by Robert Sirota, on a libretto by the Reverend Canon Victoria Sirota, celebrating New York's identity as a melting pot of humanity.
