* Blog ENDING OF THE AUDIO OF THE HIJACKER ALASKA 10/3/2023 0 Comments MORE THAN 2 MILLION PLAYERS WORLDWIDE (on Android version)Īfter our two successful games, SOV1 and SOV2, here comes the greatest: Hijacker Jack! An innovative action game which you have never seen before. Our decisions during the game will affect his karma as we choose between material values or turning back to his old life, which finally leads the story to one of the four different alternate endings.ĭo you want to live the life of rich and famous? Live like Jack! Since you can’t be sure exactly which settings the hijacker altered, it’s best to restore everything to their original default settings via your browser’s Settings menu. While he can’t trust anyone around him, he slowly starts figuring out the reason behind his kidnapping. Once your computer has been thoroughly purged of malware, you can reclaim control of your browser. The local authorities conceded to the hijackers demands and provided an Ilyushin Il-76 aircraft to fly the hijackers to. All seems fine while living the #highlife until he suddenly experiences the dark side of his fame…ĭuring his transformation he has to survive some romance and thrilling adventures, including fist fights, gun fights, car chasing, parkour and much more. On 1 December 1988, a LAZ -687 bus carrying thirty fourth-grade pupils and one teacher from school 42 in Ordzhonikidze, Soviet Union (now Vladikavkaz in Russia) was hijacked by five armed criminals, led by Pavel Yakshiyants. Skype follows the same method as sound board, going into my headphones so I can hear the person on Skype and then lands in the recording box on the right hand channel. Our hero lives peacefully off-the-grid when one day he is kidnapped, re-shaped and thrown into a fancy luxurious world as a celebrity impostor. Both soundboard and microphone end up in the recording box assigned to the left hand channel of the stereo file. Our hero is controlled in first-person point of view through the story, while he has to survive thrilling action scenes by making decisions in every 2-3 seconds, delivering punch/kick combinations in fist fights, jumping between rooftops or even just like in any FPS game, grab a shotgun and maintain public order. Harrowing audio revealed the pilot joking with the controllers who begged him to land the 76-seater plane before it nosedived and burst into a fireball 25 miles away. Hijacker Jack is the first ever FMV live-action game with real-time interaction. Watch as Forensics Investigator Ed Primeau analyzes the reco. Television channels showed video footage of the hijacker, identified as Seif Eldin Mustafa, 59, being searched by security men at a metal detector at Borg al-Arab airport in Alexandria. Hijackers are deployed by the namesake support power, available from the Pandora Hub once it is upgraded with the Chemplug add-on. To do this, they can disguise themselves as almost any enemy infantry. Thank you for all the feedback! We understood that the controls were horrible, so decided to change the concept and transform our game to the first ARCADE FMV ever! Hope you will like it. How do the terrorists take control of the plane The 'Mayday' call audio contains crucial clues. The Hijacker is a daring individual employed by the Scorpion Cell whose primary role is to steal enemy vehicles. 0 Comments OPERATION PHANTOM FURY 127TH 10/3/2023 0 Comments The process of clearing the city was slow, as many houses were booby-trapped. However, the fighting continued for several more days, as Coalition forces moved house-to- house to eliminate the remnants of the insurgent resistance. By the end of November 13th, most of the city was under the control of coalition forces. The RCT 1 moved through the Nazal, Jebail, and Resala neighborhoods while RCT 7 continued to attack the industrial districts to the southeast. By the end of the 10th of November, the coalition forces had taken control of 70 percent of the city. By the evening of November 9th, the coalition troops were able to take control of the strategically significant Highway 10, which bisected the city. Using the Army’s armored support, the coalition troops were able to effectively attack key enemy positions, including a main train station. On the 8th of November, RCT 1 and RCT 7 commenced the attack on the city with the help of artillery and air strikes. A similar mission was undertaken by the British Black Watch Regiment to block off the east and south sides of Fallujah. The combat teams took control of two major bridges to prevent enemy retreat from the northern and eastern part of the city. The RCT 1 assaulted the city from the north, while RCT 7 attacked the eastern part of the city. The insurgents were expecting the coalition forces to attack from the south and southeast, but the coalition forces changed their tactics. It is estimated that over 70 percent of its civilians departed from Fallujah before the battle even started. DESCRIPTIONīefore the attack started, the area was cordoned off, and civilians were encouraged to leave the city. They also filled empty dark building with gasoline and propane bottles, were wired to trigger a detonation whenever Coalition troops entered the buildings. They dug trenches and tunnels, prepared spider holes, and used a wide variety of Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) to prevent the coalition troops from entering their city. These ‘Mujahedeen’ fighters and insurgents fortified the city in anticipation of attack. Fallujah was defended by more than 500 proficient and around 3,000 “part-time” insurgents. Army artillery battalions, aircraft, and U.S. The coalition troops were assisted by 2,000 Iraqi troops, U.S. Army's 2nd Battalion/2nd Infantry, 1st Battalion/3rd Marines, 1st Battalion/8th Marines, and the 2nd Battalion/12th Cavalry. Team 1 was comprised by 3rd Battalion/5th Marines, 3rd Battalion/1st Marines, 23 Seabees, the Naval Mobile Construction Battalion 4, and the U.S. The coalition troops were grouped into two Combat Teams: Regimental Combat Team 1 (RCT 1) and the Regimental Combat Team 7 (RCT 7). The insurgents, with the support of al-Qaeda in Iraq, were led by Omar Hussein Hadid and Abdullah al-Janabi who had about 5,000 under their command. Natonski who had about 15,000 men under their command, including American, Biritsh, and those Iraqi soldiers loyal to the new U.S.-supported government. The coalition forces were led by Lieutenant General John F. The fierce Second Battle of Fallujah was fought between a U.S.-led Coalition and the insurgents. Most historians consider the ghastly killing and hanging of Americans in March of 2004 as the most strongly motivating precursors of the Battles of Fallujah. They started killing American troops to avenge the death of insurgents in other cities. However, by 2004, the city had become a haven for foreign fighters, insurgents, smugglers, and criminals alike. Despite the city being densely populated and strategically important, it was relatively untouched by the Coalition forces in their drive to Baghdad. Backgroundįallujah is located about 40 miles east of Baghdad, close to the ‘V-Ring’ of what was called the ‘Sunni Triangle’.

You’d also probably find them a lot easier to read because they look like the letters that we’ve been reading our whole lives. Just like the letters chiseled onto the side of an ancient marble column, Roman letters are sparer and more vertical than their blackletter counterparts. This was the typeface associated with Imperial Rome. The printing press appeared to only further cement blackletter’s status as Europe’s typeface, but then blackletter was challenged by different typeface: Roman. As with so many big leaps in technology, the printing press started off by borrowing heavily on the design conventions that came before it, even though the new operating principles made those conventions unnecessary. Susan Reed is head of Germanic Studies at the British Library, and she says that blackletter became so ingrained in the culture that even after it stopped being needed, people kept using it. So much so that it wasn’t really a type choice, it was just what words looked like. Which is actually how Germany’s most common form of blackletter would get its name: Fraktur.īlackletter was first developed in France in the 12th Century, but within a few hundred years it had become standard throughout Europe. The technique of using straight lines instead of curves gave the letters a fragmented appearance. It was hard for a monk copying out a text to consistently draw perfect circles over and over again, and if you were a scribe it was a lot easier to produce all those Os and Us and Cs out of a series of short straight lines. Every letter, even the rounded ones, had to look exactly the same. But while these shapes look easy enough to draw, if you’re using a quill to draw out thousands of them, page after page, it becomes difficult.īack then, just as now, readers valued standardization in a text. Dan Reynolds is an American type designer and historian who has been living in Germany for the last two decades, and he says today we’re used to letterforms with perfectly rounded curves: think of our O’s, U’s, P’s, and C’s. Blackletter may seem incredibly ornate and definitely does not seem like a conventional style of writing, but back in the Middle Ages, blackletter was actually considered practical. Once upon a time in that bygone era of knights and castles and feather quills, blackletter was used all across Europe. But to understand how people’s feelings about a simple typeface got to this point, we need to go back to the moment of its birth. Using blackletter is a statement and sends a signal of emphasizing the “Germanness.” Today, depending on one’s perspective, blackletter can either represent German culture’s rich and proud heritage or alternatively, symbolize everything that is wrong with it. Today in Germany, blackletter typefaces are frequently used by Neo-Nazi groups and for many Germans, they bring to mind the dark times of the country’s fascist past.įlorian Hardwig is a graphic designer and the editor of a website called Fonts in Use and he says that in Germany, any blackletter typeface is used to signal German nationalism. You’ve seen it on Nazi posters, on Nazi office buildings, on Nazi roadwork signs. If you have ever caught even one minute of the History Channel… or really any documentary about World War II, you have seen this type. But for many people, especially in Europe, blackletter is most closely associated with one thing: it’s the “Nazi Font.” Blackletter is the type of old-timey Gothic typeface that you often see used for the bold front titles of newspapers like the New York Times or Washington Post, or on the T-shirts of Heavy Metal bands. A typeface from a family of German typefaces once used throughout Germany which are known collectively as Fraktur which in English goes by a different name: blackletter. “The implication to me was I am one of the good ones and not, a ‘foreigner.’” But what really drove the message of this sign home, was not just the words, but the typeface it was printed in. “When I got on the bus, I see that the bus driver had put up a sign inside of the bus that said in German, ‘Diesen Bus Steuert ein Deutscher Fahrer,’ which means ‘this bus is driven by a German driver.’” This was not the kind of message Peter was used to seeing on his daily commute, but to Peter… the meaning of the message was pretty clear. But one morning last September, he noticed something unusual as he boarded. Peter Dörfell lives in Dresden Germany where he works in elder care, visiting clients at their homes, and to do that, he usually takes the bus. 0 Comments NN MODELS GALERY 10/3/2023 0 Comments Only once when a Gloucester was for a terror into the when the king was in her eye fell on excitement produced Nn junior models such Phebe had brought in Hill We have heard.

This is monumental, this is something to start a movement,” she said. “This is the conversation that was needed. Liyah Mitchell, a trans woman who appears in the film, told CNN it’s time to tell such stories because “we can’t continue to sweep it under the rug or act like transgender women do not exist, sex workers do not exist of all walks of life.” “But when you make us into superhuman, untouchable, intangible, unreachable people, we experience animosity, you know?” “I’m glad that people want us protected,” she said.

Plus, Smith said, she believes that on some levels the trans experience has become “boring to people.” Her desire to tell the stories of trans women who had to turn to sex work came from her own experience of how difficult it can be to find employment in a world that is sometimes far from accepting. If her scenes with the women feel feel incredibly intimate, it’s because Smith related to her subjects as a trans woman herself.Ī former music producer, she says she was blackballed from the industry following her transition. “Koko’s passing really created an even higher urgency to tell this story and to release this film,” Smith added. Sadly, Smith said that were it not Koko Da Doll, “some other trans woman in Atlanta” would have been murdered, which factored into her desire to peel back the curtain on the reality of the lives of those like her – a reality that does include the possibility of violence. “She put on this whole thing of trying to be so tough and having it together, but she was the sweetest, biggest teddy bear in the whole film and her vulnerability, I was just drawn to it.”ĭaniella Carter in "Kokomo City." Magnolia Pictures “When I met Koko she cried within 30 seconds to a minute of us talking,” Smith said. Smith said it’s been “very tough” losing her even though the pair didn’t know each other prior to filming. One of the women who appears in the film, Koko Da Doll, was reportedly shot to death in Atlanta in April. It’s already won two awards at the Sundance Film Festival and made headlines, unfortunately in part due to a tragedy. The film is raw and unflinching, featuring discussions that range from the danger the women often face to the men who are secretly attracted to and patronizing them. Smith’s film does the same for Black transgender sex workers in New York City and Atlanta today. “Paris Is Burning” gave the world a glimpse into the ballroom culture in New York City, shining a spotlight on the LGBTQ+ community of the mid-to-late 1980s there. “I will never forget the first time I saw it, so for people to compare such a film to what I’ve done with my first film, I’m just blown away by that.” “I think it’s a tremendous comparison because ‘Paris Is Burning’ was so groundbreaking when it happened,” she recently told CNN. Smith couldn’t be happier about her new documentary, “Kokomo City,” being compared to 1990’s “Paris Is Burning.” 0 Comments HEADSET AUDIO SPLITTER FOR PC 10/3/2023 0 Comments Keep in mind that these audio ports are only compatible with TRS plugs, which support stereo sound.

Grand Theft Auto V is an action-adventure game played from either a third-person or first-person perspective. It is the second best-selling video game of all time with over 185 million copies shipped, and as of April 2018, one of the most financially successful entertainment products of all time, with about $6 billion in worldwide revenue. It won year-end accolades including Game of the Year awards from several gaming publications, and is considered one of seventh and eighth generation console gaming's most significant titles and among the best video games ever made. However, it caused controversies related to its depiction of violence and women. It received critical acclaim, with praise directed at its multiple protagonist design, open world, presentation and gameplay. Grand Theft Auto V was released in September 2013 for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, in November 2014 for the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, in April 2015 for Windows, and in March 2022 for the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S.Įxtensively marketed and widely anticipated, the game broke industry sales records and became the fastest-selling entertainment product in history, earning $800 million in its first day and $1 billion in its first three days. The game's soundtrack features an original score composed by a team of producers who collaborated over several years. Much of the development work constituted the open world's creation, and several team members conducted field research around California to capture footage for the design team. The development team drew influence from many of their previous projects such as Red Dead Redemption and Max Payne 3 and designed the game around three lead protagonists to innovate on the core structure of its predecessors. The game's development began around the time of Grand Theft Auto IV 's release and was shared between many of Rockstar's studios worldwide. Grand Theft Auto Online, the game's online multiplayer mode, lets up to 30 players engage in a variety of different cooperative and competitive game modes. A "wanted" system governs the aggression of law enforcement response to players who commit crimes. The story is centred on the heist sequences, and many missions involve shooting and driving gameplay. Players control the three lead protagonists throughout single-player and switch among them, both during and outside missions. The game is played from either a third-person or first-person perspective, and its world is navigated on foot and by vehicle. The open world design lets players freely roam San Andreas' open countryside and the fictional city of Los Santos, based on Los Angeles. Set within the fictional state of San Andreas, based on Southern California, the single-player story follows three protagonists-retired bank robber Michael De Santa, street gangster Franklin Clinton, and drug dealer and gunrunner Trevor Philips-and their attempts to commit heists while under pressure from a corrupt government agency and powerful criminals. It is the seventh main entry in the Grand Theft Auto series, following 2008's Grand Theft Auto IV, and the fifteenth instalment overall. Grand Theft Auto V is a 2013 action-adventure game developed by Rockstar North and published by Rockstar Games. 0 Comments HOLLOW RECTANGLE MOMENT OF INERTIA CALCULATOR 10/2/2023 0 Comments Small radius indicates a more compact cross-section.

The Robocop is a dance move in which the dancer with their feet apart, slams down their fist and elbow to one side then the other in stiff movements. This move was first seen on MTV in 1987 and has been performed many times since then. The dancer places one hand on the back of their neck and waves the other hand right in front of them in while spinning in a circular motion. The Sprinkler is another imitation dance move imitating the motion of a garden sprinkler. This move often seen in many of their on stage performances and music videos such as for the 1987 song Sweet Child O' Mine.ħ. This move is famously known to be the signature dance move of lead vocalist Axl Rose of rock band Guns N' Roses as he was usually glued to the mic stand. The Snake is a dance move where the dancer sways their head and shoulders around side to side. It is commonly done as a happy dance or a little celebratory move after a victory.Ħ. It was derived from the popular children's toy doll at the time called The Cabbage Patch Kids, described how to do the dance in 1987. This move was popularized by the Gucci Crew II after their song The Cabbage Patch. It is a dance move in which the dancer moves their fists held out in front of them horizontally in either a clockwise or counter clockwise circular motion sometimes along with the shoulders or upper torso. The Cabbage Patch, in some ways is similar to a move termed as Churning Butter. Biz Markie himself often performs this move in the beginning of his stages performance with his back towards the audience. This move was created and popularized by Biz Markie after his songs Biz Dance and Return of the Biz Dance described this move starting in 1986. The Biz is a dance move in which the dancer hops one foot to the side and swings their arm out to the other side with the opposite arm, along with their hip popped out at the same time. It can be seen in many music videos such in It Takes Two by the duo Rob Base and DJ EZ Rock from 1988. This move was created and popularized in the 80s by B-Fats' song Woppit which described how to do this dance in 1986. The Wop is a dance move in which the dancer punches their arms up to the opposite side. There are many variations with this move such as with pointing and mixing in some other moves in between in such as the Dirt Off the Shoulder move. The Prep is a dance move in which the dancer takes a step to one side and points their fingers with palms flat upwards to the side. This move was popularized by the King of Pop, Michael Jackson, when he first performed this popping illusion during his performance of Billie Jean on Motown 25: Yesterday, Today, Forever in 1983, this move has been recorded as far back as in the 30's.Ģ. The Moonwalk, also known as the Backslide or the Glide, is a dance move in which the dancer glides backwards while appearing to be walking forward. 0 Comments MAY 2011 SPACE SHUTTLE ENDEAVOR LEGO SETS TEST GRAVITY 10/2/2023 0 Comments She conducted 25 missions of scientific curiosity and discovery, strengthened the bonds of friendship between nations, built an ever-lasting legacy to science and engineering in Earth orbit, and inspired countless millions with her graceful launches to and ballets with the International Space Station.īorn from a national tragedy, Space Shuttle Endeavour set numerous records during her maiden voyage of exploration on STS-49.Įndeavour’s grand entrance to the world of spaceflight marked the first and only time a Space Shuttle vehicle conducted her maiden voyage from Pad 39B at the Kennedy Space Center – a fitting, full-circle tribute to her sister Challenger which inaugurated the use of Pad-B for the Shuttle Program on what was her ill-fated STS-51L mission: the mission from which Endeavour was born.Įndeavour’s launch from Pad-B on STS-49 marked the first of nine firsts/records she set during her maiden voyage.Ĭlick here for the full review of her early missions: Space Shuttle Endeavour is a monument to Human ingenuity – to our ability to look past tragedy and see the potential in ourselves to seek, to strive, to yearn for more.įor 19 years, Endeavour served her nation and the world community with dignity. Space Shuttle Endeavour (OV-105) – The baby with a big history: She will be a testament to a great age of spaceflight, a testament to a program and a workforce that never succumbed to adversity or hardship, and, as we all desire, a symbol of hope and inspiration to a new generation that endeavors to continue the dream and legacy set forth by Space Shuttle Endeavour. Once at the CSC, Endeavour will be towed into her temporary pavilion on the north-west side of the science center where she will be placed on public display.īy 2017, the CSC hopes to have a permanent structure built for Endeavour, one that will allow her to be displayed in full-up launch configuration: mated to a mock External Tank and Solid Rocket Booster set.īut it is at the California Science Center that she will forever remain. Riding atop a specially-built, multi-wheeled vehicle capable of turning each wheel in a different direction (relative to the other wheels) to help make the tight turns that leave as little as six (6) inches of clearance at her wings, nose, and aft, Endeavour traversed the South LA landscape over the weekend.ĭuring the journey, Endeavour served as the backdrop for several public events before arriving at the California Science Center on Sunday, 14 October. Unlike the move of her test-article sister Enterprise, which was damage in a collision with a bridge during her transportation to the Intrepid Air, Sea, and Space Museum in New York City, countless efforts have been taken in Los Angeles to ensure that NASA’s youngest orbiter arrives at her final destination in pristine condition.įor the last several months, engineers have meticulously measured and re-measured street corners, light posts, electrical and telephone wires, and tree heights to obtain accurate clearance data for Endeavour’s wings and tail along a well-planned route spanning 12-miles from Los Angeles International Airport to the CSC. Of primary concern is not only Endeavour’s safety as she is moved through the open city streets, but also in preserving her condition as an intact icon of space program history. Moving Endeavour – Safely and securely navigating Los Angeles city streets:įor months, engineers from NASA, the California Science Center (CSC), and the city of Los Angeles have been making preparations for the difficult task of maneuvering Endeavour safely through the streets of LA. The unprecedented effort to haul a space vehicle through the cramped streets of the United States’ third-largest city has been all-but completed as engineers from Los Angeles, NASA, and the California Science Center undertook the monumental task of navigating Space Shuttle orbiter Endeavour to her final resting place at the California Science Center. 0 Comments GHISLAINE MAXWELL DRAWING SKETCH ARTIST 10/2/2023 0 Comments The judge was particularly interested in learning whether any members of the jury pool - drawn from a wide area in and around New York City - could remain impartial after suffering sexual harassment or having bad experiences with law enforcement. Some prospective jurors said they had heard of Epstein but not Maxwell while others said they had heard of both. Wearing a black mask that matched her robe, Nathan reminded prospective jurors that Maxwell must be considered innocent until a verdict at her trial. Most of the two dozen spectators spaced apart to guard against the coronavirus were journalists. Nathan expects to question about 230 potential jurors, identified only by number, over several days as Maxwell observes along with her lawyers from a row behind prosecutors. Hundreds were dismissed after filling out a written questionnaire. Nice to see you in person," Nathan greeted one potential juror, alluding to two videos that about 600 prospective jurors had watched of the judge describing the case and the jury selection process. Prosecutors allege she and Epstein exploited girls as young as 14 between 19. The sex-trafficking trial of Jeffrey Epstein’s alleged “madam” started Monday.
