I got a message the other day from Bob Melhado. As many of you know, Bob is the many-time Chief Steward at the Lime Rock Historic Festival. Bob has been very kind to me with respect to attending this event and showing me around. I look forward to seeing him once again at this year's Lime Rock Historic Festival. It is a great event!
Bob advised me that famed American race car driver, John Fitch, will be turning 95 years old this year. A birthday party is being planned on August 5, 2012 by the "Friends of Fitch" at the Fitch Homestead in Connecticut. Bob Melhado is one of those people who are lucky enough to be considered a "Friend of Fitch" and he made me aware of this party.
John Fitch and Bob Melhado in 2008
John Fitch is one of the great American road racers. Among other things, John was one of the Mercedes-Benz factory team racers during the era of Fangio, Moss, Lang, and Kling. Pretty impressive company!
The following images are only brief snapshots of the very full career of John Fitch.

The John Fitch 95th Birthday Party will be held on August 5, 2012 at 433 Salmon Kill Road, Lime Rock in Lakeville, Connecticut 06039 at 3:00PM. John will be available on the front porch. He would love to see an old photograph or hear a story about racing in the "good old days". If you want something autographed, then apparently John will be signing autographs. Signed photos and posters will also be available.
Guests are asked to bring along a snack or finger food to share with the crowd. Bring a camera, recorder, hat, bug spray, lawn chair or whatever you think that you will need. If you want to attend, then please contact Terry Dunne at 860.248.1799 or at firstname.lastname@example.com
I don't know if I will be able to attend or not, but it sounds like a great party and a magnificent way to honor one of America's top road racers.

EGO vs ECO
Humans have always believed that they are superior to all other beings and still continue to have this ideology to this day. They think they are superior to other species, genders, religions, races, etc. We've seen this behavior of superiority within spousal abuse, women fighting for equality, the Holocaust, lynching's of African American's in the western south, and even today with homosexuals. Why is it that we as humans are always mistreating the other beings that inhabit this earth along with us? Why does man think he has the power to control everything and everyone around him?
Humans believe that just because we have always been "hunters and gatherers" that it is the way we are supposed to live. People think that humans cannot survive without meat, and that we are designed to be carnivores. That is a very false statement.
Not only do humans think they need to consume another creature to survive, they also find joyin eating them, hunting them, killing them, caging them, testing on them, torturing them, and many more. What makes an animal inferior to human? We consider cannibalism sick and horrendous, yet we justify eating other beings of this earth as normal? If a man was to go out into the city, the home of thousands of humans, and shoot one in the head, bring him home, cook him and eat him, the man responsible would be sent to a prison and most likely a psychiatric hospital. Yet man does this every single day to animals. When you put it in that perspective, it really isn't that different, is it?
People ask, "Well if we aren't supposed to eat animals, why did God make them taste so good?" I'd just like to point out that humans that eat other humans are probably thinking that same thing. Second of all, animal meat does not naturally taste good. If you were to murder a cow in cold blood and eat him right then and there, I highly doubt you think it would be "tasty" and "enjoyable". In fact, you would most likely die from consuming raw meat. Doesn't that right there say something about what we were truly designed to eat? We are not meant to thrive off of something that NEEDS to be cooked properly and have spices and herbs added to it just so we are able to consume it. Unfortunately, the animals that humans consume go through a brutal process from the minute they are slaughtered, to the minute they hit your plate.
It's disgusting actually how humans do this. When you see a chicken or a lamb or pig or a cow on a farm, you see an animal. You see them eating grass, and interacting with each other. They were born, they have families, and they have feelings too. So when we look at these animals the way we do on a farm, why don't we see them as food? We don't go to restaurants and order 'one pig' or 'one cow'. No – we have created these terms to help us cope with the fact that we are eating another being, so we call them things like steak, pork and bacon to make us feel better, and guess what? It does. When you call a cow a steak while eating it, you feel less guilty. You can justify what you are eating because now that it is on your plate, it is food, not an animal. Well you're wrong – it's still an animal, just as a human would still be a human no matter whose plate it is on. But we beautify the idea of eating dead animals, and slice them up into such thin, foreign shapes that we completely forget and become so disconnected from the fact that it was once a living breathing creature. We have expensive restaurants that sell expensive food like caviar and veal. We glorify the idea that eating a dead bird on thanksgiving is a delicacy. We consider it a treat to go out and dine at these fancy restaurants as we indulge in the meat of a dead animal; but no one thinks like that when they're eating it now do they?
Yet when there are animal attacks – sharks, bears, lions, etc – that harm and kill humans, these animals must be taken away or killed by us because what they did was so horrifying. Yet it is 100% okay for humans to do it for them in clusters, make money off it, and enjoy it because they think it's "human nature" and "the cycle of life".
Why do humans get sent to prison and sentenced to be executed for killing another human being, yet millions of animals are slaughtered and nothing gets done about it. How is this legal? And yes, humans torture and kill other human beings as well; it's not just animals who have this inevitable poor fate. The only difference is that this behavior of killing another human is considered illegal and is punishable to jail and execution. Yet millions of animals are being slaughtered and nothing gets done about it.
I wonder what humans would do if animals could talk. If when you looked into their eyes they spoke to you. If they pleaded to you not to kill them because they had a family to look after, or a loved one to see. Would humans still shoot them in the head and viciously slaughter them? Probably.
People have grown up eating meat and consider it so normal that they never really take the time to realize how un-normal it really it. What I consider normal would be growing a garden and picking your own fruits, vegetables, nuts, grains, and all the other foods that come from the ground, because that way, there is no violence and no one has to suffer and die. What I don't consider normal is going out of your way to go and kill an animal, have to cook it's meat (because you cannot eat it raw.. or you'll get sick and die) and then eating it. I'm sorry if you consider that normal, but I sure do not.
Most people who argue that eating meat is acceptable usually say that they get their meat locally and that the animals they eat are raised and killed humanely. Okay, first of all, how can killing another creature be humane? You are killing it and taking away it's life. Second of all, that is not my point at all. My point is not how you are getting your meat and if it's a good or bad way – my point is that we are all creatures of this earth and mankind brutally slaughters other beings to consume, simply for pleasure. (We don't need to eat animals to survive)
Man is not superior. I had a friend say to me once that we are smarter than animals, and I just couldn't help but thinking how wrong that statement was. Dolphins and wales are one of the smartest creatures in the ocean. They can communicate with each other through vocal signals, non-vocal auditory signals, visual signals and tactile signals, meaning physical signals. Dogs are so smart that they can sense when it's going to rain, or even when their owner has cancer. Can humans do such extraordinary things? I didn't think so. How can someone say another species is lesser than them when they don't even know what that creature is capable of? People think so little about animals just because they cannot understand their language – but imagine if they could? What would they say to us?
Many people want to be shielded from the reality of where their food comes from. They turn away and cannot watch cows being slaughtered, or chickens being thrown into grinders. If you cannot even watch that, than you seriously should not be eating it. Yes I have watched those videos and I am fully aware of all that happens to animals. But do I eat them? Not a chance. Seeing those videos is the exact reason I don't. And I think people are afraid of seeing that because they love eating meat so much that they don't want that precious idea of food to be ruined for them. And I do not eat anything that comes from animals either because the process to get cow's milk or a chicken's eggs is just as bad as eating their meat. The same thing goes for wearing fur and leather, or using products that animals had to be tested on and murdered for. You think that $500 jacket is nice and elegant? Think about where it came from next time you idolize someone for wearing it.
For our entire lives, we have lived in this room that had a bright light bulb, but the blinds were always kept shut. Who needs to open the blinds when having the light turned on is so convenient for us? But now I have reached out of the regular comfort zone of most people, and I have opened those blinds, and what I have seen and learned has shocked me in the worst ways possible. We live in this room thinking that life is perfect under this falsely lighted bulb, but it isn't until we open the blinds and are greeted by the unpleasant surprise of what's outside that we suddenly realize what has been going on this whole time. We have grown up believing so many lies and it's awful how because we were raised that way, everybody thinks that way is normal, and that being a vegan is the weird/abnormal thing. Most people choose to keep those blinds closed and ignore what is going on around them. Most people keep those blinds closed as they prepare their chicken and steak for dinner that night.
Health Factors
Not only is it morally wrong to eat another creature, but it's not even healthy for us. Humans are not getting the message that putting dead animals and animal by-products into their bodies is not helping them at all. Obesity rates and heart disease have skyrocketed in the United States, yet people still aren't getting the message that it's all about what you put into your body. And I'm not just talking about McDonald's and Burger King – any meat is bad to consume, heavily processed or not. You cannot justify that your meat is healthy because you raised it yourself. The fact is, humans are not natural born carnivores – we are physically not designed to eat meat. Cow's milk has been said to be 'full of calcium' and 'good for our bones', when in fact,countries with the largest consumption of milk and dairy have the highest rates of osteoporosis, which is the degradation of bones. Eating eggs increases your risk of prostate cancer, ovarian cancer, heart failure, diabetes, colon cancer, and many other diseases. "Eggs are the most concentrated common source of choline in the American diet, which may increase the risk of cancer emergence, spread, and lethality." "Men who consumed 2.5 eggs or more per week had an 81% increased risk of lethal prostate cancer".
However no one would ever believe these facts because we have grown up being told that "eggs are a great source of protein" and "milk makes your bones strong" Well I am so sorry to break it to you but those are all lies told by the industry to make money. Adolf Hitler once said,
"If you tell a big enough lie and tell it frequently enough, it will be believed."
Don't fall into the trap of the meat and dairy industries- learn and educate yourself. The best way to get protein, calcium and all your other vitamins and nutrients are through plant based foods, especially leafy greens. "They are calling Spinach the new Steak for the high amounts of iron and vitamins found in it".
Unfortunately, we have grown up in a world that only cares about money and profit. That means lying to the public about where their food comes from, labelling packages with false information, and telling lies to the citizens that the food they consume is healthy just so they can make more money.
Energy, Fossil Fuels, and Global Warming
Another big factor that comes with the consumption of animals is the amount of energy used to feed them, breed them, slaughter them, and eat them. "Livestock are responsible for 18% of the greenhouse gases that cause global warming, more than cars, planes and all other forms of transport put together." Humans are making this planet worse and causing more and more global warming per year just from the captivity and slaughter of animals. When will people realize this is the only earth we have – there is no planet B. We are living in the 59thminute of the hour that is earth and we don't know how much longer that will last. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bsd1IT7ySfE)
The warning about meat and the environment isn't coming from crazed hippies. It's coming from people like the head of the United Nation's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, who has openly identified eating less meat as an important step in combating climate change. Why? Because cows are more damaging than cars. We put far more energy into animals per unit of food than we do for any plant crop. The main reason is that cattle consume 16 times more grain than they produce as meat,so right there we have 16 times as much energy just to grow those crops, just so we can waste them on livestock.
But the energy use doesn't end there. The livestock themselves take energy to process beyond the energy that goes into their feed. And then there's refrigeration, including during transport, necessary for meat but not for grains and beans. And then there's the transportation itself.
Every year, millions of animals that are raised for food experience terrible living conditions on industrialized or "factory" farms. These factory farms are large, profit driven companies which view animals as units of production, rather than living creatures, and put efficiency and profits ahead of animal health and welfare. Industrial farms push for the maximum production from the animals regardless of the stress this places them under and the resultant shortening of their lifespan
Since the food industry is rapidly growing, animals that were once raised on pastures are now raised in foodlot where they are kept indoors most of the year and given feed formulated to speed their growth. Animals such as cows, goats and sheep have stomachs that are meant to consume grass. However since farms can't always provide grass, these animals are fed grain and corn which can produce serious fatal digestive tract problems. They also add chemicals to the feed which can accumulate in animal tissue, potentially exposing consumers to unwanted chemicals such as veterinary drug residues and heavy metals. They also use pesticides which 'bioaccumulate' or build-up in the fatty tissues of animals which exposes the consumer to these chemicals. Exposure to pesticide has been shown to negatively affect reproductive, nervous, and immune system functions, as well as increase the risk of developing cancer.
It doesn't have to be this way.
A whole foods plant based diet is essentially the best way to live. I am trying not to be biased because I too once lived a regular lifestyle. I used to eat meat, cheese, milk, eggs, etc. and thought everything was okay. But once I educated myself on these things, I found out how wrong I was. I am by no means trying to shame anyone's eating habits or put down anyone's style of living. I am however trying to get my point across that we are all equal, and that we can help this planet.
Go to your local farmers market, shop in the organic section at the grocery store, or even grow your own garden! I promise you that those options are 10x easier than catching an animal, impregnating them, milking them, cooking them, killing them after their babies are born or their eggs are hatched and so on. Not only are you helping animals but you are helping the planet, and most importantly yourself. Your body will strive off of whole foods and improve much more than it would on an animal based diet.
I have read many articles, documents, textbooks, and watched documentaries to know that the information I am telling you can be backed up and proven. I am not just some crazy vegan girl trying to persuade everyone to live like me. I am trying to make a change in the world, and even if it's a small change that only affects a few people, at least it's starting somewhere, and a little change is better than no change.

The Enemy
As we've discussed before, encounters are at the heart of Halo's campaign experience and it could easily be argued that they are the best part of that experience.
Unlike other gaming conventions such as story, character development, art style and visual/audio fidelity, an encounter deals with the core gameplay experience in a way which is unparalleled. It is the very soul of a game – not always the reason a player picks up the controller, but inevitably the reason they refuse to put it down – and here the Halo trilogy shines gloriously.
Understanding this success has been the purpose of The Architecture of War; our detailed examination of the three primary components found in any effective encounter. The environment and the sandbox were the first two ingredients and our coverage of them can be found here. As we've discussed previously, these two components are crucial elements for an encounter to materialize and perpetuate effectively.
But what about the third? What about the enemy? Is this element as critical as the others?
Absolutely, and in many ways it is the most critical.
Without enemies, the battleground and tool set are in and of themselves inert. An opposing force creates conflict and fuels the combat which ultimately defines the encounter as a whole. In this way, the enemy is perhaps the most significant of all three elements – and the most necessary.
Fortunately, for its fans, the Halo series has an extremely rich tapestry of enemies, all playing unique roles within the context of each and every encounter. And since Halo's encounters are masterfully fashioned, the DNA of that system relies heavily on a powerful and compelling set of enemies.
But what makes Halo's enemies unique against those of other games? And why are Halo's encounters so entertaining because of them?
We believe there are three main factors which dictate this:
- Their history as communicated by their physical attributes.
- The manner they are distributed on the battlefield.
- Their intelligence and authenticity.
Let's take a closer look at each one…
Form Becomes Function
The historical relevance and story of each set and subset of enemies, as depicted by their physical appearance and interaction, helps the player to not only enjoy the experience's immersion, but it allows them to perform differently based solely on those factors.
In the Halo trilogy, there are three distinct classes of enemies. At the forefront, we're introduced to the Covenant, a diverse war machine composed of various alien races and united under the banner of humanity's destruction. Later, we come in contact with two other enemies; one is the sinister parasite known as the Flood and the other is the Forerunner technology created to contain it.
The Flood were discovered about half-way through the first game's campaign and in that moment completely changed the player's understanding of enemies throughout the remainder of the trilogy.
Visually, the physical differences across these three classes are quite obvious to anyone who has played the games, but how does the look and context of an enemy impact an encounter?
The physical characteristics of these enemies and the history they designate separate every single one into a complex system of possibilities and potential. For example, we know that a Brute, driven by rage, will often charge the player if fired on repeatedly, but a Jackal, typically prone to cowardice in close-quarters, never will. We know that an Elite typically attempts to gain cover when its shields are down, but an armored Flood combat form, even if it was once Sangheili in flesh and blood, will do no such thing.
Why is this?
Well, Brutes will obviously charge because aggressive and barbaric violence is in their nature – as implied by their physical attributes and reiterated by their history. Jackals, on the other hand, have the frail and sinewy makings of a craven creature; when they're overpowered, they will almost always duck and run. The elegant warrior Elite, seasoned by decades of combat as we have come to learn, knows the significance of his armor's shielding, but all strategic rules of combat are thrown out of the window as soon as the alien is infected by the parasite. When that occurs, it becomes mere cannon fodder for the Gravemind and will charge without hesitation.
Because of these disparate characteristics and the variety of animations which are presented by them, players can face every individual encounter differently, honing their methods as they uncover more about the individual behaviors of each of their enemies.
The site of the first Scarab battle in Halo 3, the single largest enemy in the trilogy.
Of course enemies respond differently – one might say this is common knowledge, but what about the player? Do they respond differently against various enemies from an emotional standpoint?
Certainly, they do.
This occurs at high concept levels like the difference between a chuckle the player will utter when a single Grunt is deployed on the field, armed only with a plasma pistol, and the desperate gasp the same player might release when a Scarab crawls over a five-story warehouse toward them, carrying enough fire power to level an entire city. It can also occur on an acute scale, like the differences one would feel from an encounter against an Elite Minor (Blue) and that of a Major (Red) – it's a meager difference, but still prevalent within the scope of combat and something which can dictate the course of an encounter if taken into account by the player. Every hostile entity in the trilogy arouses some emotional provocation – feelings which can be displayed as anything from horror to defiance – from laughter to terror.
The most common of these emotions is clearly fear. Walking down the dimly-lit corridors of the Flood containment bunker in Halo: Combat Evolved's 343 Guilty Spark mission, for example, elicits a considerable amount of anxiety and dread. The player constantly finds themselves peering around corners and down darkened hallways, their shotgun ready to fire at the drop of a hat.
But fear is not the only emotion which is evoked from an enemy in Halo. Recalling Jaimie Griesemer during the "Et Tu, Brute" ViDoc, we see another inevitable player response:
I think that the Brutes bring out the sort of the indignant, self righteous aspect of a lot of players. So I'm hoping to hear a lot of, 'Take that!' and 'I can't believe that you have invaded my planet and I'm going to throw you off!' and we hope to really bring people into the character and the drama of the situation by putting them up against these really brutal characters.
When you first break into the barracks on Halo 3's Crow's Nest, you've already been informed that the Brutes are planning to devour the Marines held captive inside. So when you finally arrive, midway through the mission, you're well and ready to unleash reciprocal destruction on them. The passion to save fellow Marines coupled with a slowly-developed hatred for the Brutes throughout Halo 2 and the beginning of Halo 3, allows players to participate in the encounter from an emotional perspective if they allow themselves to.
The barracks sequence in Halo 3's The Storm is particularly evocative thanks to the sinister and evil Jiralhanae culture and their predilection for human flesh.
Essentially, the context of enemies operates hand in hand with not only with the way the enemies perform on the field, but also the varied emotional responses players have from the enemies themselves. And while this might only be superficially important to establishing the role of enemies during encounters, it is a key ingredient in making an encounter immersive and compelling.
Battle Wagons
Distribution, being the second element of this equation, pertains to how and when enemies are deployed during the course of an encounter. This application directly controls the pacing of an encounter from its anxious beginning to its explosive conclusion.
There are a variety of manners in which this can occur – some were innovated directly by Bungie and others have evolved from successes found in other titles. All of them, however, are performed with amazing deft and versatility within the Halo trilogy.
The first and most obvious of these methods are the infamous corridor to corridor fracases, which are common with most shooters. Halo has these in spades, whether you're aboard The Pillar of Autumn staving off a Covenant invasion, whether you're battling through the Flood on a Forerunner gas mine or whether you've found yourself plunging into the depths of the Ark's cartographer in search of a map room – all of these follow the same basic formula. This is extrapolated on a broader scale when players travel from within the confines of an interior environment out into the vast exterior sites which frequent the Halo franchise. Moving from canyon to canyon with heavy vehicle interplay and large-scale warfare takes the same concept of steady progression from room to room and multiplies its intensity and size exponentially.
A hallmark of Halo encounters are those which support the player defending a key location from wave after wave of enemy. Sometimes the aggressors infiltrate the player's position on foot and sometimes in a cache of vehicles, but often Halo employs the use of dropships – unloading a bevy of infantry (and sometimes even vehicles) simultaneously by an aerial vehicle. There have been other variants of this same concept, like Halo: Combat Evolved's energy lift at the base of Truth and Reconciliation or the Elite's drop pods in Halo 2's Delta Halo – almost overwhelmingly, the use of the dropship technique represents a classic Halo approach to the "player defend" method of enemy distribution.
During this system, players are initially pushed back by the dropship's turret and are forced to take cover. When they have secured their position, they then try to find a strategic high ground or choke point to use against their enemies and an effective implement to eliminate the incoming threat. Instinctively, players may try to neutralize the enemies the moment they hit the ground, but Halo 3 has upped the ante in this regard, offering players the rewarding opportunity of destroying a dropship before it can even unload its troops.
Then there's the Scarab, a dramatic variant of the dropship concept where the player has to defend their location by physically assaulting the insect-like behemoth covered in Covenant infantry. In this example, we can easily see how Halo took a basic convention of a dropship unloading troops and turned it on its head, forcing the player to stop an infiltrating group of enemies by infiltrating their own position.
The wide variety of enemy phenotypes are apparent, even within the Covenant stable, as seen here between a Grunt firing the turret and its Brute Chieftain.
Easily the most entertaining distribution method for enemies is that of the assault, where a player is forced to enter a fortified location and take it back from hostile occupants. The most emblematic display of this particular method are the various "tank runs" found throughout the trilogy. Halo 2's Metropolis, as we've previously depicted, partook in this system when the player crossed the bridge from the outskirts of the city into the heart of Mombasa. And while there are plenty of other textbook examples of this method of distribution, the one which is typically considered the most impressive in the franchise, is the epic and protracted tank run in the sand-ridden canyons of Halo 3's immense mission, The Ark.
During any given assault, including the dramatic one depicted in our opening intro, the design scheme is very straightforward. The player must move from one location to another on a path which is dominated by heavily-entrenched enemies. This isn't the standard campaign progression which we described initially, where pacing is tedious, but rather a method in which the player is constantly moving forward though large lines of opposition, eventually arriving at a fortified position which they must then overtake.
While other methods can sometimes become exercises in frustration, the assault formula never fails to deliver an intense experience. This is likely due to the marked success of gaining physical real estate against the enemy and, for Halo in particular, the high quality of vehicle interplay which is frequently utilized in this manner. Although an assault encounter can be done on foot, like the scaling of the ziggurat at the end of Assault on the Control Room, the most established and exhilarating ones are typically executed by way of vehicles and armored caravans.
There are other methods of enemy distribution but these few represent the core ones within Halo's encounter system. When this design element is executed effectively, it creates a powerful dynamic which guides the flow and pacing of the encounters throughout the course of a mission. Understanding how to distribute enemies in the field has always been important to Halo and the compelling results of the proper execution of this system are quite evident throughout the trilogy.
The Mind of the Beast
The third attribute of an enemy which impacts an encounter experience is the most important by far:
No, we're not talking about how realistic enemies look or sound, but rather, how realistic they interact with the environment, with the player and with other enemies. In the industry, this is referred to as artificial intelligence or AI and it speaks to the routines and programs which control an enemy (or collection of enemies) at any unscripted point in the game. Although many games offer some initial potential with regard to enemy intelligence, the single most prevalent attribute which evades most action titles is continually and persistently clever AI.
In this regard, Halo continues to impress.
While predictability is important in some aspects of game design, where it should sometimes be disregarded is in the architecture of AI for enemies. The player's opposition must be free to think outside the realm of predictability in order to be believable – but must also be grounded to some degree, giving the player an opportunity to out-think them. There are a handful of franchises within the industry which sport AI that functions in an authentic and rewarding manner and the Halo trilogy is definitely one of them.
Within the franchise, Halo 3 is the title which stands head and shoulders above the others. Every single attempt has been made to close the gap between that which requires a suspension of belief (the fiction) and that which should not (how an NPC interacts in a real situation). Because of the complex AI, every single encounter plays differently than the previous one and every single encounter replays itself differently than it did the last time you played it.
Dropships like this Spirit and the popular Phantom are part of a prominent and successful enemy distribution method which has appeared significantly throughout the trilogy.
For example, the Traxus shore side warehouse in Halo 3's The Storm has a significant amount of both interior and exterior encounters nestled in between the mission's Scarab battle and the player's assault on the anti-aircraft weapon emplacement adjacent to the Forerunner artifact. Here, the Brutes work together in packs, first attacking warehouse employees and then turning their attention to the player and their allies.
Every time these sequences are played, although some scripting introduction occurs initially, the AI pathways which materialize afterward are wholly distinct and different. Sometimes the Brutes will take cover, sometimes they'll attack and yet other times they'll deploy equipment to frustrate any of the player's efforts – all the meanwhile dealing with warehouse employees and Marines, while simultaneously engaged with the environment and the player.
Halo 3's enemies are smart. Very smart. They will scale their environment for higher ground when they catch wind of your approach. They'll look for you when you attempt to hide and hide from you when they're at risk of death. They work as a team, sending in the fodder of their front lines in hopes to beat down your shields for their attack moments later. They flank the player when necessary and use fall back positions when they see fit.
These elements of functionality are key to understanding why Halo's AI works proficiently and why the game's encounters play so organically no matter how many times you've experienced them before. The enemy AI in Halo 3 represents the pinnacle of the trilogy, where Bungie has weeded out previous issues and threaded the characters with incredibly lifelike animations and behaviors. AI, more than any other aspect about an enemy's role in the encounter, is critical in dictating the plausibility of each given encounter. Thankfully, Bungie's team recognizes this and the trilogy exemplifies their recognition.
Nemesis, Catalyst
Together, these three faculties – context, distribution and AI – create an enemy force that is believable, engaging and evocative. It requires the players to think outside of the box and respond in real time, rather than follow their hand down a "point-shoot-kill" rail toward the inevitable and predictable conclusion.
Players are sometimes thrown into circumstances which force them to hold down the fort while other times, they're forced into scenarios which require them to storm it – both dynamics merged with an incredibly articulate AI, show just how powerfully engaging the enemies of Halo are and how important they are to the series as a whole.
Proper use of enemies, environment and sandbox create scenarios such as this, where an enemy boards the player's vehicle and forcibly removes them in real time.
Over the course of these three articles, we've talked about the environment, the sandbox and the enemies of the Halo trilogy. These are the core components of an encounter and encounters are a big part of what make Halo's three titles the games that they are. While there are those who might take issue with trilogy's story, its characters, its art style and other elements which have been criticized over time, one item which bears little, if any, fault is that of the encounter.
The masterful hand of Bungie's software masons have created a powerful beast, evolving from its meager but impressive beginnings in Halo: Combat Evolved, then broadening its boundaries in Halo 2 and finally, becoming the amazing experience piece we call Halo 3. While Bungie is not blameless and perfect in all of their design decisions, with regard to encounters, they are largely without fail.

A study published in late November 2012 in the journal Science estimates that the melting of ice sheets in Antarctica and Greenland had raised global sea levels by 11.1 millimeters (0.43 inch) since 1992. That represents one-fifth of the total sea-level rise increase in that period. Other contributors include the expansion of the sea water from warming, and the melting of glaciers, as for instance on mountains. In the 1990's, melting of the polar ice sheets in the Antarctica and Greenland was responsible for about 10 percent of the global sea-level rise, but by 2012 the effect had risen to 30 percent.[1] The study does not, however, uncover the underlying cause, or association, lying in a complexity in human nature itself. Our species has vaunted to the top of the food chain and leveraged a brain capable of engineering technological advances that would have seemed magical even just in the nineteenth century, and yet we seem hard-wired to accelerate our course to a self-destructive extinction. This lack of balance is reflected in the increasing extremes in the global climate. In this essay, I begin with the study and steadily work toward uncovering the underlying, subterranean culprit, which would go on to produce record-high carbon-emissions in 2017.

The Great Britain pound was generally soft today, dragged down mostly by the market sentiment. Domestic employment data was mixed, providing both positive and negative surprises, and therefore giving no help for the currency in finding direction.
The Office for National Statistics reported that the unemployment rate fell to 3.8% in the three months through March from 3.9% in the previous reporting period. That was the lowest level of unemployment since October-December 1974.
But average weekly earnings rose just 3.2% in the first three months of this year compared with the similar period of the previous year. That was a slowdown from the 3.5% increase registered in the previous month. Furthermore, the actual value missed the consensus forecast of a 3.4% increase. The wage inflation miss supported the view that the Bank of England will not hike interest rates this year even after Governor Mark Carney suggested a hike should not be ruled out.
But macroeconomic data had limited impact on the currency today as it remained under influence of the same themes as yesterday — the Brexit drama and the US-China trade war.
GBP/USD dropped from 1.2958 to 1.2906 as of 19:59 GMT today. EUR/GBP rallied from 0.8661 to 0.8683. GBP/JPY traded at 141.44 after opening at 141.63 and rising to the daily high of 142.16.

An example given the article is "Stephanie Kenyon, 60, the owner of Sloans & Kenyon Auctioneers and Appraisers in Chevy Chase, says the market is flooded with boomer rejects. "Hardly a day goes by that we don't get calls from people who want to sell a big dining room set or bedroom suite because nobody in the family wants it. Millennials don't want brown furniture, rocking chairs or silver-plated tea sets. Millennials don't polish silver." The formal furniture is often sold at bargain prices, or if it's not in good shape, it might go straight to the dump."
While the market is getting smaller there is still finds to be made in fine art and other items that are more unique. I hope I can help you find a treasure but "the old days" are over and we all must adjust to the new reality of the market.

The Thénardiers offer a rare glimpse of comic relief in Les Miserables. The disreputable landlord is a battlefield thief turned brothel-keeper while his lyrics in Master of the House do little to redeem himself – to the extent that we feel ashamed for finding this scene so hillarious. Sacha Baron Cohen was beautifully cast for this role in Tom Hooper's 2012 adaption (even if it did not require much venturing from his typecast Ali-G back catalogue) but his landlord outfit was a great aid to such a portrayal and differs from most previous interpretations.
"The ladies' dresses were very appealing. I really enjoyed designing for the comedy characters played by Sacha Baron Cohen and Helena Bonham Carter. As pickpockets and ruffians they were expressing a kind of freedom and it was refreshing to represent that with a freer use of fabric and colour," the designer Paco Delgado told Stylist Magazine.
He also spoke in depth to the National Post about the creative process that resulted in the green hussar jacket. "We thought of them like being magpies, stealing everything as they do, and thought we could incorporate that idea into their costumes. Everything else was so intense — like trying to bring all these ideas of holiness inside a costume," he said. "Then suddenly you have these two great comedy actors — and Sacha Baron Cohen is like a clown, really. In the book he says all the time that he was at Waterloo, helping Napoleon. We thought he would have stolen his jacket, which is almost rotten by the time he has got it, not from a simple soldier but from a general! Madame Thénardier, Helena Bonham Carter, has a mix-match of a lot of ideas in that costume — a very old matador sleeve, cut up and used like a collage on her."
"Master of the house, doling out the charm
Ready with a handshake and an open palm
Tells a saucy tale, makes a little stir
Customers appreciate a bon-viveur
Glad to do a friend a favor
Doesn't cost me to be nice
But nothing gets you nothing
Everything has got a little price!" – Thenardier
The uniform made by Academy Costumes was sold in 2016 by the Prop Store auction house for £1000. "It consists of a green Napoleonic Hussar jacket, a white shirt, a red and brown striped double-breasted waistcoat, and a yellow and blue striped necktie," said the listing. "The jacket is made from green felt material featuring rows of faux-gold braids with round metal buttons along the front. Red fringed epaulettes sit atop the shoulders and the collar and cuffs are edged with black faux-fur."

With Captain Lorca (Jason Isaacs) revealed as a native of the Terran Empire universe – one who has manipulated the entire USS Discovery crew to get home to his own reality – Michael Burnham (Sonequa Martin-Green) must ally with the Terran Emperor Georgiou (Michelle Yeoh) to stop him from overthrowing the Empire and taking an invasion fleet back to Burnham's own universe.
Star Trek: Discovery is certainly packing the quality into the second half of the season, with "What's Past is Prologue" delivering another top-notch episode packed with action, strong moments of character, and hugely rewarding pay-offs for viewers that have stuck it out through the whole season. The episode is almost entirely climax, but it's a 45-minute climax that feels genuinely well earned. It does not simply come with a 'fist-in-the-air' thrilling moment for the fans; it comes with several.
What seems particularly impressive is how the episode plays on elements from the season's earlier, much shakier episodes. There is more than one callback to particular moments or themes, most effectively a brief scene between Burnham and Georgiou in which two women – each having lost the other in their own universe – both hold ID pins of the woman they lost. I recall a huge sense of disappointment when Discovery's original set-up – two women – was disrupted and replaced by one woman working for a white middle-aged man. In that moment it's tragically clear that the same white middle-aged man destroyed them both. Whether intentional or accidental, it feels like a potent moment.
The episode also allows the Discovery crew their moment to shine, since while Burnham is off fighting Lorca they are tasked with the parallel mission of saving literally every alternate universe in existence. It really shows how well these characters are now working on screen. Saru (Doug Jones) displays an appropriate sense of intelligence, bravery and level-headedness for his rank and position. Stamets (Anthony Rapp) is a much warmer and more accessible character. Tilly (Mary Wiseman) feels less grating and much more confident. Really it's only the latter of these changes that feels intentional; the other two really feel like a writer's room slowly homing on what makes the characters work and what pulls them back. It's a process I'd have rather seen play out before the series was produced, but it is fantastic simply that it has happened.
Star Trek: Discovery is feeling like a much stronger series towards the end than it did at the beginning. It isn't simply a matter of early episodes setting up revelations in later installments. The things that worked the best in this 2017 episodes have been retained and improved, and the bits that struggled or even flat-out irritated have been removed, pared away or at least temporarily sidelined. With two episodes to go, I have my fingers crossed that the series can jump from this current creative high to deliver something genuinely spectacular to keep the audience enthused until Season 2 begins.

Where are synonyms stored? How is Z970 created?
- Article Type: General
- Product: Aleph
- Product Version: 20
Where does the system save the list of synonyms that you enter via Web Staff /S Utilities?
The synonyms are saved in the BIB library's Z970 Oracle table. This functionality is documented in v15.2 rep_ver 3013, which I am including below since it doesn't seem to be anywhere else in such detail.
Adding, removing, deleting and viewing Z970 records is managed through the BIB library's Utilities menu in the WEB Utilities interface (accessed from WEB STAFF menu: http://il-aleph07.corp.exlibrisgroup.com:8993/S).
v15.2 rep_ver 3013:
Synonyms are words that share the same bitmap value; in other words, they are equal.
For example, if karel, karl, carol, charles are set as synonyms, a FIND on any one of these words will retrieve the docs of all the other words. This type of functionality can be achieved through x-refs in AUThority records, together with setting the WORD indexing in tab_expand to expand_doc_bib_accref.
An application might want to set these synonyms in a direct manner, without AUT records. The development of the Z970 is for this purpose. There is a new table Z970 for synonym groups.
A synonym group is identified by a common word (Z97-COMM-WORD); this word is set by the system (first word of the group in the Z970 table). The Z97 table has a new column (Z97-REC-NUMBER-2) which is a unique record key. The Z97-REC-NUMBER column (which used to be a unique record key) is now used in order to identify the word record for which the word is a synonym. If the word is not a synonym, the Z97-REC-NUMBER and the Z97-REC-NUMBER-2 will be the same. If the word is a synonym, the value of the Z97-REC-NUMBER will be the same as the value of the Z97-REC-NUMBER-2 of the "common word". When word indexing (manage-01) is run from scratch, before the system begins indexing the DOC records, the system first builds Z97 records from the Z970 table.
Adding, removing, deleting and viewing Z970 records is managed through the BIB library's Utilities menu in the WEB Utilities interface (accessed from WEB STAFF menu). [Note: This is UTIL-B. Though "B" is not on the menu, you *can* enter it in.];
2. Remove words from a synonym group. The words entered do not have to be from the same group. Please notice - this action will cause reindexing of all documents that the related groups appears in (throught the Z07 and ue_01 mechanism).
3. Remove group of synonyms. The group is defined by the common word in Z970-COMM-WORD.
4. View the synonyms and their group identifiers

Time for a summery lunch catch up, we haven't had a chance for a while due to various work commitments and annual leave. We stuck to the noir theme as usual but this time the theme was multi-cultural! The food embodied Italian noir (Taleggio cheese, Parma ham), Tartan noir (oatcakes, local eggs), French noir (a smelly french cheese whose name escapes me, baguette, Brittany butter, salad) and a bit more sunshine food thrown in for good measure; tzatziki, hummus, olives, pitta bread, feta cheese. Nordic noir was present in the form of the Swedish Summer Strawberry custard cream cake in the middle of the table which was based on a recipe someone passed on at Nordicana. Apparently this type of cake is popular all over Scandinavia in the summer months for special occasions such as Midsummer's eve or birthdays.
We spoke about having some more face to face discussion groups in various places and possibly a small meet up at the Bloody Scotland Crime Festival in Stirling in September. There was some discussion of Top of the Lake, Field of Blood, Sebastian Bergman, how unsatisfying the tv programming has been recently. Not to mention spectacular summer storms in France, tropical weather in Scotland, Tunnock's caramel wafers, the way the world views engineers and when will Montalbano be back on our screens?!!

PDF (Portable Document Format) is a file format that has captured all the elements of a printed document as an electronic image that you can view, navigate, print, or forward to someone else.
A file with the .MOBI file extension is used for storing eBooks. It was originally a Mobipocket Reader format but has since been adopted by several different readers as well.
The EPUB file format (short for electronic publication) is an e-book format with the extension .epub.
Kassandra audiobook review
MP3 is the name of the file extension and also the name of the type of file for MPEG, audio layer 3. Layer 3 is one of three coding schemes (layer 1, layer 2 and layer 3) for the compression of audio signals. Layer 3 uses perceptual audio coding and psycho acoustic compression to remove all superfluous information (more specifically, the redundant and irrelevant parts of a sound signal.
AAC stands for Advanced Audio Coding. It was developed in 1997 as the successor to MP3, and while it did catch on as a popular format to use, it never really overtook MP3 as the most popular for everyday music and recording.aac audiobook format The compression algorithm used by AAC is much more advanced and technical than MP3, so when you compare a particular recording in MP3 and AAC formats at the same bitrate, the AAC one will generally have better sound quality.
FLAC stands for Free Lossless Audio Codec. A bit on the nose maybe, but it has quickly become one of the most popular lossless formats available since its introduction in 2001. What's nice is that FLAC can compress an original source file by up to 60% without losing a single bit of data. What's even nicer is that FLAC is an open source and royalty-free format rather than a proprietary one, so it doesn't impose any intellectual property constraints.

Blood Blush are a three self described dream goth band and the description feels like an apt one. There are both elements here. Check out the video for their latest Demon Clout. The bitter cracked black and white tones scream something between German expressionism and something that David Lynch may of created in his youth. The music (to me) has goth / horror pop elements but throughout pretty melodies float in the haze. This kind of aesthetic churned up in the proto punk stews in the late 70's will continue to engage as dark dreams, as musical art and Blood Blush do it oh so well. These guys haunt the New York / East Coast and playing shows. See Dates below.

The European Commission is going to initiate a public consultation on cloud technologies, a move that could provide a well guided direction to future cloud computing strategies.
Apparently, the EC wants every interested party to come and participate in the processes, particularly those from the cloud-developers community as well as cloud users. All interested parties can make their contributions in the EC's online public consultation platform.
According to the estimates by analysts from EU, it won't come as a surprise if the revenues earned from cloud based services in the region goes as high as 35 Billion Euros in the next 3 years alone.
These analysts also feel that introducing these services under proper rules and regulations may also likely to save businesses and governments a considerable amount in their yearly expenditures.
"I am excited about the potential benefits of cloud computing to cut costs, improve services and open up new business opportunities," Neelie Kroes, the digital agenda commissioner said in a statement as quoted by ZDNet (blog).
"We need a well-defined cloud computing strategy to ensure that we make the best use of this potential. The input we are requesting from all interested parties is important to get it right," he added.

To help you in defending the Castle, would be a team of Wizards, Archers and Craftsmen. One good thing about this On-Line game is, you can save and reload at the Level which you last played.
Click on this picture to go to that game
This is after Level 15, and its time to upgrade my Walls
This is Level 17, where you have Giants and bettering rams
If you do not have Wizards and the Mana Pool, the Giants will
demolish your Castle Archers can get at them but they are just
not that fast enough
This is Level 32, where I keep on converting the Barbarians
as my Wizards, Archers and Craftsmen. I have everything
I need now, so, I just play, and the Castle will defend itself
This is Level 42 and I have upgraded the wall defense to 30,000
Which is just as well as the suicide bombers are coming thick and fast

MEMPHIS, Tenn. -- "I'm like 'Oh my God they are going to kill my dog' you know."
Joe Minor left his dog Dumbo tied up for a few minutes outside his Forrest City trailer. He heard a commotion and found the service dog he got for depression stuck around a tree.
Dumbo was being attacked by a dog with another nearby.
Both dogs were allowed to run off their leash by their owner.
"My deal was to get them separate and get his dogs out of here."
He was able to pull the dog off Dumbo, but not before both he and the dog were bitten.
"He jumped at me and I pulled my arm back and he got me right here."
Now, Minor doesn't even want to take his dog on short walks, saying he's afraid it will happen again.
"It could have been a lot worse."
Shelby County K9 officers train their dogs to be aggressive and to go after the bad guys. They use protective gear which should act as a reminder of just how powerful and dangerous just one dog can be.
"If a dog is coming toward you it`s ears are up, stiff body, stiff tail then that is probably a dog that means business."
K9 Officer Ray Brenner said if a dog is acting aggressively or running toward you or your dog, stand motionless with your hands at your side and fingers balled in a first.
They said you should also try to keep you dog still.
Don't make eye contact.
"Just hope they lose interest and move on, but as soon as they start not to show as much interest then try to move away slowly to get a barrier in between."
Back in November, a home surveillance camera captured a California woman and her son being attacked by two large dogs.
Officer Brenner said in a situation like that get on top of the vehicle if you can or put something between you and the dog.
Hit the dog on the nose, grab it's collar to control it or tighten the collar forcing it to let go.
"Hopefully, you can get enough pressure to choke it off. Yell for somebody to come help you and get him off."
In the California case, the mother was able to yell for help and neighbors came to her rescue.
Dog handlers said perhaps the best way to protect yourself is to be prepared. That means walking with an air horn or something similar that could make a loud noise to distract or scare off a dog.
Also be sure to carry mace. If you have to spray it, aim for the nose or face are of the dog.
Even a jacket wrapped around your waste could be used to cover a dog's head so it can longer see what it is attacking and will likely let go.
"If you have a water bottle squeeze it to make noise or through it at him. He might think it's a toy and go after it," suggested Officer Brenner.
He said the biggest mistake people make is panicking and running.
If you remain calm it should slow the dog down and throw it off.
"You are not going to outrun the dog so you are just building up the prey even more and it`s going to be worse."
Each year more than 350,000 people in the United States end up in the emergency room with a dog bite.
Approximately 850,000 victims receive some type of medical attention for a dog bite.

The Wolfgang Press
The Wolfgang Press were an English band active in the 1980s and 1990s. While many people were involved in most of their recordings (especially in later years), the core band consisted of Michael Allen (vocals, bass), Mark Cox (keyboards), and Andrew Gray (guitar). The band recorded for the 4AD label. Allen and Cox had both been members of Rema-Rema and Mass, while Gray had been a member of In Camera. All of these bands had also recorded for 4AD.

Fox 44 reports: Vividly, the 20-year-Army veteran remembers the morning when a young man broke into his home suspecting no one was there.
He says it started with a loud knock at the door.
"He was knocking and ringing excessively as if he lived here and got locked out. That irked me a little bit so I looked and when I looked through the peep hole, he began to talk," he said.
The homeowner says he saw the young man through his peep hole.
He says he was checking to see if he would get a response. And when he didn't he says he walked around to the back door and banged on it as well.
The resident then realized what was happening and he quickly went into defense-mode to protect himself.
"I went to my little drawer, pulled out the gun. I only had seconds, ten seconds or less to position myself and as soon as I was positioned, I pulled the hammer back and the door blew open," the man recalled.
He describes the quiet moment just before chaos erupted.
"Like the calm before the storm or the eye of the hurricane. It lasted about 2 or 3 seconds as if he were casing the joint before he walked. The minute I saw him walk in, I opened fire and all hell broke loose," he said.
The homeowner says he fired at the young man several times and he ran off in an attempt to escape.
"I had like three or four shots left. I let him go and right before he jumped up or over the fence I think I hit him because when he went over, I heard him grunt," he remembered.
The veteran says he doesn't like that his home was broken into but out of all of his neighbors, he says he had the least to lose. … Read more here.
