Crimes in South Paris, ME
According to statistics on areavibes.com, South Paris is safer than 82.7% of cities in the U.S. The crime rate is more than 50% lower than the average for Maine. This is likely because of the small size and population of the town. The estimated likelihood of being a victim of a crime is 1 in 73 in South Paris. This does not mean that police do not enforce the law. In fact, cities with low crime rates may be more likely to sentence offenders to maximum penalties in order to discourage other people from committing similar crimes.

Criminal Charges in South Paris
Sex Crimes
Sex crimes are very serious charges and include child pornography charges, indecent exposure, rape and sexual assault. If you are convicted of any of these charges, you can be facing serious jail time and mandatory registration as a sex offender. This can severely impact your career, your child custody status and even where you are allowed to live. Though the crime rate is low, there were at least 9 registered sex offenders living in South Paris in 2013.
Any type of abuse that occurs between 2 people that have an intimate relationship can be considered domestic violence. This can include spouses, parents and children, two people who have a child together, boyfriends and girlfriends and other close people with close relationships. A domestic violence arrest can also lead to other associated charges such as interfering with reporting domestic violence, malicious mischief, assault and more.
Drug Crimes
Some of the most common criminal charges in Maine are for drug related crimes. Drug crimes are very serious because, aside from possession of small amounts of marijuana, crimes involving drugs are charged as felonies. A felony conviction can have a serious effect of your life that lasts well after your sentence is fulfilled. Crimes such as drug trafficking, drug cultivation or manufacturing, prescription fraud and possession of heroin, cocaine or methamphetamines are all considered felonies in South Paris. Drug crimes are hard to defend because the very existence of evidence (i.e. drugs) is the crime.
A low crime rate means that police can focus their efforts on enforcing laws like driving under the influence. DUI charges are very common in Maine and South Paris is no expectations, especially in areas close to college campuses. The legal blood alcohol concentration in Maine is .08% for adults over 21 and .02% for minors under 21. DUI charges are very serious and even a first time OUI offense can lead to a sentence of jail time, steep fines, probation, community service and more.
South Paris has a very low rate of violent crimes. Your chance of being a victim of a violent crime in the town is about 1 in 1,634. That does not mean that violent crimes such as assault, rape and murder do not occur. These crimes are taken very seriously and prosecutors will likely push for maximum sentencing.
Property Crimes
Crimes such as burglary, robbery and theft are not common in South Paris, but occurrences are not as low as violent crimes. Burglary and theft are the most common property crimes that are reported to police. Because it is such a small town, police are under pressure to catch criminals as soon as a crime is reported.

Exploratorium After Dark by Collins, United StatesPosted: Filed under: Graphic Design Reviews | Tags: Brand Identity Reviews, Branding & Packaging of 2017, Branding Blog, Branding Reviews, Campaign Design, Colour in Use: Black, Design Blog, Design For Print, Design Opinion, Design Reviews, Designed by Collins, Designed in San Francisco, Graphic Design, Graphic Design Blog, Graphic Design Shortlist 2017, Museum Logos, Sans-serif Typography, Typography Comments Off on Exploratorium After Dark by Collins, United States
Opinion by Richard Baird
Exploratorium is a "public learning laboratory" and San Francisco based museum that enables visitors to question and make sense of the world around them through hands-on exhibits that touch upon science, art and human perception. These include a pitch-black dome, fog bridge, large-scale kaleidoscope, light displays and array of image bending mirrors. Every Thursday the museum hosts After Dark, an adults-only event. It is a chance to experience the museum's over 650 interactive exhibits during the evening, to socialise, listen to guest speakers, watch films and listen to music. Exploratorium worked with design consultancy Collins to reimagine After Dark, to give it a stronger sense of identity and a distinctive campaign concept across membership cards, magazine covers, online banners, large format posters and social media. This is the first part of an ongoing collaboration that will help promote the museum's work and programming over the next two years.

Opinion by Richard Baird.
The Tenderloin Museum tells the story of, and celebrates, the people and rich history of the Tenderloin district, a 31 block region of San Francisco. The museum's permanent exhibition covers the area's rebuilding, from 1906, following the great earthquake, until the present, and captures its diversity. It is a neighbourhood that has been filled with, what Mucho, the graphic design studio behind the museum's visual identity describe rather romantically as, immigrants and iconoclasts, artists and activists, sinners and saints. It is a place known for "girls, gambling and graft" but equally for its cultural icons, these have included the Grateful Dead, Miles Davis and Dashiell Hammett.
Mucho were responsible for creating the museum's brand identity, signage and merchandise, which extended to t-shirts, coasters, cups, mugs, maps, tote bags and posters.

I'm not complaining. The sun's out, I'm in shorts, but I did wear a fleece jacket for my bike ride this morning. I'm guessing it's in the 50s (F) with low for tonight around 41˚, but as you can see, it is beautiful.
Here are three pictures glued together crudely with photoshop to show the whole bay and the edge of the breakwater on the far left.
From the here I could see the mountains to the east of LA over the Marina Del Rey. I think - but I'm not sure - the biggest one is Mt. Baldy.

Techsmith has uploaded some teaser videos on YouTube suggesting that Camtasia Studio 8 for Windows could be hitting shelves very soon. The last major release of this popular Window screencasting software happened more than two years ago.
Techsmith isn't saying much except that they have "completely rebuilt" Camtasia Studio 8 and that editing will be much faster and easier in CS 8.
I haven't seen the new version but if the following videos were done inside Camtasia, it is quite possible that it will at least have video filters and improved video titling. A comment on a Facebook page suggests that Camtasia Studio 8 will have more audio layers as well (you are currently limited to 3).
You can sign-up at techsmith.com to get an alert when the new version is available.

Rogue Postings Undoubtedly the Work of Savage…Rogues
Dear Gentle Reader,
Unfortunately it seems some vulgar youths have attempted to corrupt my website on this internet. I assure you that I never intended any sort of offense of the likes they have orchestrated. All attempts are being made to remove said vulgarities post-haste. I hope this disturbance has not upset the equanimity of your being or in the least unsettled the blossoming nature of our relationship.

College Tours and Science Phobias (Phobiae?)
I feel a rant coming on...
Not, not quite a rant. Just some observations. That's all. Really.
So Child #1 is a senior in high school this year. You know what that means: the hell-on-earth for parents known as college visit and application time.
Okay, I'm exaggerating a little. It's been kind of fun to ship Children #2 and #3 off to Grammy's house for weekends (where they get spoiled beyond belief) while the Dear Husband and Child #1 and I trundle off on road trips around the northeast, fortified with numerous bottles of Snapple Peach Iced Tea and cranberry trail mix (for the DH) and beef jerky (for Child #1) and bags of popcorn (for me). We peer thoughtfully at roadside geology and make horrendous puns at each other. DH tends to wax fatherly about how Child #1 should conduct himself during interviews. I try to insert levity so Child #1 doesn't say "Uh-huh" and totally tune out. You know, family bonding stuff.
So we arrive at the colleges and the Child gets handed a fat folder of materials about the school and fills out forms, and then we get sent off on student-led tours of the campus. If we're lucky, we get the tour guide to ourselves, which is kind of nice. We feel less odd asking about the obscure sports and clubs and subjects (fencing, Dungeons & Dragons, ancient Greek) that the Child is actually interested in. We have the tour, we attend the information sessions, the Child has his interview. We get in the car and deconstruct the whole experience, then drive somewhere else and repeat it all.
Including, it seems having the same tour guides at every campus we go to. I know, logically speaking, that this can't be true. But it sure seems that way. They've all been perky sociology majors, though come to think of it one of them had a minor in French (the rest were minoring in International Relations). And when we get to one certain spot in the tour, the EXACT same things happens.
It's when we get to the Science Building.
Tour Guide: "So this is the (insert name of major donor) Science Center. It was built in (insert year) and houses the Biology, Chemistry, and Physics Departments. (Insert college name) requires at least one year of a lab science to graduate." Pause to make scrunchy unhappy face. "But you can get around it by taking psychology--that's what I did--or geology. That's not too bad."
Um, excuse me?
Child #1 wants to major in physics. He wants to take lots of other stuff, too (like ancient Greek and maybe more Latin and history and philosophy and ceramics and literature), but he just loves physics. So he and the DH and I roll our eyes at each other and go on with the tour.
But it really bothers me. Okay, I was a history major in college, and yes, I took geology for my lab science. I had plans to be an archaeologist and thought geology actually might be more useful down the road than biology. But as a family we subscribe to Science News and to Science, and I read them. We feel that we need to know what's going on in the science world if we're going to be useful human beings and informed voters.
Doesn't that goes for sociologists, too?
Why the tunnel vision? Why the phobia about hard science? I may not spend idle moments thinking about black holes the way Child #1 does, but I'm drawn to the mystery and grandeur of what I read about the LHC, and fascinated and elated by breakthroughs in research on malaria and diabetes, and astounded by the creation of new materials like carbon nanotubes and what they can accomplish. Reading about science makes me feel like maybe, just maybe, the world isn't totally going to hell in a hand-basket just yet. It makes me see that there's so much out there that I can't even imagine...and makes me want to try.
What can we do differently as a society to make these lovely, fresh-faced sociology majors see this too?
Oh dear. I lied. I ranted after all. My apologies.

I had my CT Scan with contrast today and took the results to the doctor. Aparently the 3cm complex cyst they saw on my Left Kidney is a Bosniak II and he says I should just moniotor it. They found another cyst on my Right Kidney. This was concerning to me but the doctor said it was small but a Bosniak III and should come out. It's just over a centimeter and on the outside of the Kidney and he feels it would be a really simple open surgery with a minimal incision and could be removed easily. Im concerned about having "things" in both kidneys. I have an appointment on Monday at Sloan Kettering. Hopefully after speaking with him I will have the clear picture. I will say the Urology Department at Beth Israel Medical Center has very nice doctors. Dr. Shah and Dr. Goluboff in NYC. So My issues are kidney and not bladder.
Jan 21, 2014 - 4:03 pm
Good Morning!
This does sound like good news! It is a good thing that they are small, and that you have been referred to the proper specialiats. Hang in there, stay posistive, and let us know how things go on Monday!
PS...People on this board are GREAT and will help/support you.
Jan 21, 2014 - 4:16 pm
It sure does sound like you have excellent medical personel and facilities working for you . I'm real glad to hear that .
I'll bet this problem will be a thing of the past in no time at all.
Wishing nothing but the best for you .
Jan 21, 2014 - 8:25 pm
Great news! You are one lucky lady!
Jan 22, 2014 - 1:02 pm
Thanks for all the great support on this page! You guys rock!
Jan 26, 2014 - 7:11 pm
I'm going to Sloan Kettering tomorrow for my second opinion. I have been so stressed. I wake up aroud 4 AM every morning in a panic. I wonder if the radiologist at Sloan Kettering will see things the same as they did at Beth Israel. I will post tomorrow when I hear my fate. Im not looking forward to surgery. so far I only had a C-section.
Jan 26, 2014 - 8:19 pm
The way I look at it is: You will heal from anything the doctors will do to you. We are like forsythia bushes. Trim here, cut there, and then prosper. I say, "If the surgery is necessary, go for it". Immediately if not sooner.
Jan 27, 2014 - 11:14 am
First of all, I am so sorry for all you are going through. Could you try to think of this as a challenge to your growth and spirituality=what is important in your life??
You went through a C section and that was a big deal, but you made it right? You don't even know if you need surgery yet. Robatic surgery is even easier than the C section, as I can say I have had both with a fairly large vertical incision for my C Section. I had no problem with my kidney surgery. Little incisions, with one slightly larger, so I was just a little sore. I worse my lumbar wrap to support those sore muscles, but did not even need a pain pill once home.
Try to use your faith and inner constitution! You're a mom! You have learned to survive and cope with a lot already in your life, right?
You may or may not be religious, but being spiritual to me= self growth due to life lessons and hopefully to develop more spiritually after this new challenge. We do have control over our attitude on how we face things out of our control. Your attitude and fortitude is something you CAN control, right?
Lastly, we're here for you. Think of theat much needed energy you are expending when you don't even know yet what is ahead. So try really hard, hon, not to allow your mind to take you in a direction that is unnecessary.
Let us know how you are doing~
Warmly, Jan
Jan 27, 2014 - 8:37 pm
Thank you Jan for the kind words of s couragemnt. They meant a lot.
Today I saw Dr Coleman in NYC at Sloan Kettering. Left kidney has benign cyst. Right Kidney has a Bosniak III cyst 1.6 cm that should come out. Surgery is 2-13 and laporscopic. I was reassured that if it is malignant or not I have a good chance to be "cured" for now at least. I feel very lucky.
Jan 27, 2014 - 9:41 pm
Good Morning!
It sounds like the second opinion pretty much agreed with the first. That is a good thing and should give you some peace of mind. Benign cysts are pretty common. Will pray that all goes well for you!
Jan 28, 2014 - 1:31 am
I am an Asian male 35 yo living at Sydney, AU. This is my first time posting here. I am usually a silent reader who contributed quite few to any forum. The reason I am replying your post is that I see a few similarities between our diseases:
1. We have cysts on both kidneys. ( I have 2mm non-categoriable cyst at low pole of left kidney and 2cm Bosniak III cyst at low pole of right kidyney)
2. The sizes are small
3. We were diagnosed at similar period so that I read your posts.
4. I am a motorbike rider like your dad ( I seriously considered if that was the reason causing my problem too)
5. My dad has cancer too, but it is liver cancer (doctor said liver CA and renal CA are irrelevant)
I hope my story could give you more relief and get you well prepared for your surgery. I was diagnosed with Bosniak III cyst in December 2013 by accident due to UTI. The doctor told me at least 50% - 75% chances of being malignant. The surgery was done on 1/22/2014. Today, the doctor called me to say that the mass was benign. I guess for Bosniak III cyst, if it is small, it might have better chance of being benign. Also, since it is rare to have primary renal cancer on both kidney at the same time, I guess it increases our chance of being benign as well. I hope this can relief you a little bit and get yourself good rest before surgery. However, whatever it is, it has to come out.
As for the surgery, I did the open partial one. The reason I choose open partial one was when doctor asked my opinion, I told him that I care more on long term survival than short term recovery if it is malignant. The doctor said open partial one is safer regarding cut the mass clean and they can cool the kidney down. I learned that the recovery from open partial one is no fun at all. Surprisingly, I didn't suffer much. I was discharged from the hospital on 25/1/2014. It is 6 days since the operation, and I feel I pretty much recovered normal (take 2 Panadeine tablets every 30 hours now, will try to stop using the pain killers at all), sleep well, good appetite, can cook/wash dishes. I think I can drive( havn't try yet) and go back to work if necessary. I honestly prepared for worse recorvery ---- I applied 4 weeks leave and told my manager that may take another 2 weeks if things don't work out nicely. I don't know how other people recover from the operation. What I did was I had been doing excercise (30 minutes run everyday). I guess the pre-surgery excercises (for a month) might be helped on my recovery. I believe you can recover easily. So, please don't panic for the surgery.
Wish you all the best!
Jan 28, 2014 - 3:31 am
Thank you so much for sharing your story Silver.
I noticed so many bikers on this forum. Coincidence? I'm glad you are recovering well. I am hoping I only need to miss 1-2 weeks of work. My commute can be a little strenuous but I suppose the exercise is good. The nurse said I should get on a treadmill or elliptical soon after. It's convienient I have both at home. My commute consists of a bit of a walk from a parking garage with a couple of flights of steps, then I take a train, switch trains (up and then down more steps.) When I get to NYC its up another flight of steps and about a half mile walk. It's not a big deal when I'm feeling well. I work for a Chinese company so even though I'm an "executive" I am kept on a short leash. I've been with my company almost 9 year but I don't want my illness to make me appear weak. I'm a hard worker at the office and as a homemaker. Work ethic is very important at my company. I pray for good health for all of the kind people I have met through this forum.
Jan 28, 2014 - 11:23 am
There are a lot of everything here..!! OK, seems a few bikers have had their Cancer discovered after having a spill, oops (not me). The lucky ones get it found early.. As Kidney Cancer tends to be asymptomatic, some/many of those that had early detection were the result of another unrelated issue.
Jan 28, 2014 - 12:16 pm
I am a little concerned about your comment that you want to be back to work in a week or 2. You will not be ready for your hectec commute etc. that soon. If I were you and was having a good recovery I would shoot for about a month and if I was feeling really good I might come in earkier for a few hours a day. Remember this is major surgery, not some type of procedure. Hopefully the Chinese company you work for will understand. I find my Chinese relatives very understanding (sister-in-kaw and family).

Setting up a fish tank for the very first time is no effortless job, no matter what the sales person tells you. Plants are hard to harvest, and therefore you do need to most likely settle for plastic plants, but the colour and beauty of the fish merely outweigh any of the disadvantages – and many saltwater tropical fish owners admit that this is so. One particular of the most clear rewards of an acrylic fish tank over a glass one is that it is not going to smash when struck with a large object. Depending on the tropical fish becoming grouped with your goldfish, sometimes you are going to expertise negative benefits and at other instances you will not (as you described).
Just before you pick a tank, you need to have a consider about regardless of whether you want a tropical , cold water or marine aquarium Please note, if you happen to be keen to maintain tropical fish, then you'll need to contain a little fish tank heater. Now you have your fish and want to spot them inside your tank, you can't just drop them in. Water in your tank and the water in bag that you brought from store most likely have different temperature, may possibly have slightly different chemical parameters. Saltwater fish have a vast diversity of colors and are all really unique when compared to freshwater fish.
They can deal with a wide range of PH like Orandas, and my fish are all healthier and expanding quite huge. Common brands of Aquarium include Fluval and Juwel These businesses produce high good quality – functional fish tanks that have turn out to be well-liked all through the world. White spots on tropical fish are a quite common disease that has a habit of showing up in new aquariums. Tropical meals is harder for goldfish to digest than food specially formulated for goldfish. Saltwater fish tanks are usually considerably a lot more tricky to care for, as you have to maintain some further elements in the water at the appropriate level.
As a result, adding water to the tank each week or two is much less of a risk, you're less most likely to kill your fish be altering the medium in the filter, and a heatwave or sudden winter cold snap" will be significantly less likely to make your fish sick. Fish never like that sudden change, and may became really nervous which can lead to their sickness or even death. River fish can deal with fluctuations in acidity and temperature a lot more effortlessly than the other people. Freshwater fish are hugely adaptable, able to cope in altering environments, and therefore a lot less complicated to keep. Analyze the type of fish which you will place in the aquarium prior to the buy.
And if you have territorial fish in the aquarium (angelfish, for instance), it'll be a living nightmare for your goldfish. We have everything for the fish aquarium hobbyist from supplies, to fish tank accessories, aquarium lighting, fish merchandise and equipment! Some tropical fish can tolerate living with goldfish, and handle the very same temp and diet.


text: Banditks 47 Posted May 9, 2018 (edited) The preamble: The overall premise of these systems is keeping in mind you are making a ship from the -blueprint- forward. Meaning these systems are meant to be there and are designed to be there. This should translate into your designed ship having key characteristics that the players choose. Spend the time, money, and resources on designing a ship should result in a worthwhile and desirable end result. While triumphs, and advantage should lead to breakthroughs and better than average ships. These designs are based off the idea that these are -blueprints- being made. The frame, power source/engines, and hull are all parts of a whole blueprint. So, when you put this together picking a frame, and so on. That will be something akin to a first draft, allowing players to come back to the blueprint and do more rolls to add in some of those mods before it goes to the shipyard to be actually made. The last note I will make here is this. I am requiring any GM that is looking at this to have common sense, I haven't included an exhaustive list of limitations because I believe the GM should know that a massive shield generator, breaching pod, or other very large ship upgrade can't fit onto a fighter or personal speeder. I encourage GMs to take this list and modify it where you think, cost, HP, rarity, or limitations or whatever in your house rules should be put into place. Unless something is glaringly wrong I probably won't adjust the numbers found here. This is a foundation GMs can build from so their players can custom design ships with many choices to really make a personal craft or capital ship. Thank you.

Drones Kill Innocent People All the Time
But now the White House can't deny it
Uncategorized April 24, 2015 Matthew Gault 0
On April 23, U.S. Pres. Barack Obama told the world that an American drone strike against an Al Qaeda compound in January killed two innocent hostages. American contractor Warren Weinstein and Italian aid worker Giovanni Lo Porto died in the strike in Pakistan.
Obama apologized to their families. "As president and as commander in chief, I take full responsibility for all our counterterrorism operations including the one that inadvertently took the lives of Warren and Giovanni," Obama said.
At the time of the strike, U.S. military and intelligence officials didn't believe the compound — which comprised several buildings — contained hostages.
Had they, it's a safe bet to assume the strike wouldn't have happened. The CIA didn't discover what really occurred until weeks later, according to the New York Times.
Al Qaeda deputy Ahmed Farouq — who heads up the group's organization in India — died in the strike. Al Qaeda spokesman Adam Gadahn died in what was likely a separate attack in January. Farouq and Gadahn were both American citizens.
It's not unprecedented that a U.S. drone strike killed civilians. America's CIA-operated drones kill civilians all the time. There's a caveat — precision drone strikes are arguably less destructive to civilian life than ground wars or manned bombing, but they're far from perfect.
What's different about this drone strike is that Obama admitted it killed civilians, apologized for it and ordered the details "declassified and disclosed publicly." That's an almost unheard-of exception in a war known for its extreme secrecy.
"That's pretty astounding," Heather Roff, an associate professor at the University of Denver who studies the ethics of emerging technologies such as drones, told War Is Boring.
"It's quick, and it's declassifying it for the families, and it's notifying the public and it's getting out ahead of this. It's asking for a mea culpa now."
We don't know how many civilians have died in America's drone campaign, and the White House hasn't disclosed the number. But there are estimates from independent groups.
The Bureau of Investigative Journalism has long worked to clarify the mystery by sifting through news reports in America and abroad, leaked government documents and interviews within affected communities.
According to TBIJ's numbers, the CIA's drones have killed somewhere between 400 and 950 civilians in Pakistan. That accounts for 415 drone strikes in the region between 2004 and 2015.
But complicating the figures is that Pakistan has carried out air strikes in the same regions against the same militants— which makes it hard to deconflict a drone attack from a Pakistani air force strike.
The numbers for Yemen are even less clear. Since 2002, America has conducted between 100 and 200 drone strikes in the country.
Those targeted killings have killed between 90 and 160 civilians, according to TBIJ. Around a dozen drone strikes in Somalia killed about five civilians.
The strikes accelerated after Obama took office. From 2004 to 2007, the U.S. launched just 11 such attacks in Pakistan. In 2008, it launched 38. The strikes peaked in 2010 — as the Obama administration deployed thousands of extra troops to Afghanistan — with 128 targeted assaults in Pakistan.
The frequency has decreased since then, and the rate leveled off in 2013 with 27 drone strikes. In 2014, there were 25 and only seven so far in 2015.
To be sure, there's a logic behind the strikes. It reduces risk to American service members and allows the U.S. to attack Al Qaeda where it'd be far too risky — or politically problematic — to send ground troops or manned aircraft.
But the U.S. does so with limited — if any — human intelligence on the ground. On the other hand, drone strikes are arguably safer for civilians than if America sent in the Army or conventional manned bombers.
But the counter-argument is that drones — by removing a human pilot — ratchets down the threshold for the U.S. to carry out a strike, and makes strikes more likely. Civilian deaths are inevitable.
On Dec. 13, 2013, an American drone launched Hellfire missiles at a convoy of cars on the move in Yemen. The strike killed 12 people and wounded 15 more. At the time, the Yemeni government claimed the dead were Al Qaeda militants.
The dead and wounded were, in fact, part of a wedding party. The bride was there. The strike wounded her face. To this day, it's unclear whether any militants died that day.
The White House never acknowledged its involvement in the attack. Regional Yemeni authorities paid the families of the victims $800,000 in cash and rifles.
It's impossible to know what would've happened had a manned aircraft — not a drone — been in the air.
But it's quite possible the U.S. would have never bombed the wedding party had it not had drones in the first place. There's simply less risk inherent in bombing targets in Yemen with machines. If so, this means the U.S. has effectively off-loaded some of its risk onto civilians, and it's done so largely in secret.
The strike in Pakistan — and its mistaken deaths — is another example.
"This is case that just comes to the surface because of two high-profile people getting killed a drone strike, and the U.S. has to account for it and atone for it," Roff said. "But it still doesn't get around the fact that the United States is carrying out its war in a very questionable way."
But does the Obama disclosing the strike signal a shift toward more transparency in how America wages war? Roff thinks it could, but notes that it's only a possibility.
"This is a precedent-type moment," she added. "What might change is that if there are any other future strikes that may involve hostages or clearly non-combatant people in the area, then the United States may get into a position where it has to publicly atone or open up its documents about why it still undertook that particular strike."
Roff noted that this is a big if. The CIA will always keep secrets, for understandable reasons. And the U.S. isn't likely to stop using drones to target Al Qaeda members.
"No, it's not going to stop doing that," she said. "What it may do, is that [the U.S.] may limit its use in some instances that it may not have in others, and it may come under more scrutiny if it does not — because it has now set a precedent that in instances like this, it may declassify information on a strike."
But remember, the U.S. didn't kill one American citizen in the January attacks. It killed three Americans — one of them innocent and by accident. The CIA also killed Al Qaeda members and U.S. citizens Farouq and Gadahn.
For a moment, leave aside the mistake that led to an American citizen being killed by friendly fire. The White House still hasn't convincingly argued that killing American combatants is on firm legal ground.
The government's rationale — outlined in a white paper revealed in 2013 — follows that U.S. citizens fighting on the side of Al Qaeda forgo their Fourth and Fifth Amendment rights, because they are necessarily planning to conduct imminent attacks the U.S. in the future.
This line of reasoning continues that if the Al Qaeda member is in hiding — removed from the means by which the U.S. could capture him — then the U.S. could blow him up with a drone to remove the threat. And this would be completely legal.
It's worth noting that the White House stretches the definition of imminent to mean a terrorist planning to attack from a location outside the reach of U.S. law enforcement. The terrorist could plan an attack that happens in a few hours, or years from now … it doesn't matter.
Nor is the process subject to public review. There's no trial, defense attorney or even acknowledgment from the White House that it's targeted a U.S. citizen for assassination.
Finally, the administration wants Congress to believe this is legal.
"Should we have done this strike?" Roff asked. "Well, wait a minute. We haven't resolved whether or not the two guys who were American citizens and were targeted was a good idea."

today I have a new polish from essence to show you. I picked this up from Priceline a couple of days ago on an accidental haul. I love teal and this polish is just amazing!!! It is a black-based polish with tons of teal shimmer in it giving you a dark polish which is somehow illuminating. Does that make sense?
By the time my nails had dried the sun had decided to play hide-and-seek behind clouds so I tried my best to get some good photographs of the amazing shimmer but pretty much failed :( I love nail polish and I love blogging, don't get me wrong, but it drives me crazy when I can't get a good picture and especially when it is such an amazingly beautiful polish. This polish has well and truly moved into my top few polishes!!! Easy to apply and beautiful. And it is only $2.75. Don't think I could ask for more.
thanks for reading :)

Biological Magnetic Resonance Data Bank
A Repository for Data from NMR Spectroscopy on Proteins, Peptides, Nucleic Acids, and other Biomolecules
|Member of
RBMRB version 2.0 has been released. RBMRB is a library in R which enables easy access of BMRB data in R environment. This version of RBMRB library is now available through CRAN archive. The developmental version is available at BMRB GitHub repository. Several new features like simulation of HSQC and TOCSY spectra and interactive chemical shift correlation plots have been added to version 2.0. Users may submit feature request or report any bugs through our GitHub repository. More information is available here
The BioMagResBank has created an organizational GitHub page and has moved the development of several of its tools there. You can access the page here.
A Python module for reading, writing, modifying, and validating NMR-STAR format files is now available for public use. This module makes it easy to interact with NMR-STAR files in Python by automatically handling all of the STAR syntax issues for you and much more. Features of the library:
A hybrid REST/JSON-RPC API to use for querying against the BMRB database is now available for public use. Most data in the macromolecule and metabolomics databases are accessible through the API. This API is free to use and doesn't require an API key. More information is available at the GitHub repository (https://github.com/uwbmrb/BMRB-API)
As an application of this API and to facilitate BMRB data analysis on the famous data analysis package R, a library is now available from BMRB GitHub repository (https://github.com/uwbmrb/RBMRB). With the help of this R library, user can now access BMRB chemical shift data directly in their R environment. More information is available on the GitHub documentation page.
The new wwPDB Validation Server at https://validate.wwpdb.org now generates preliminary validation reports for structures solved by NMR and 3D Electron Microscopy, in addition to X-ray crystallography.
wwPDB strongly encourages the use of the Validation Server at any time during the structure determination process, but particularly when preparing structures for deposition to the wwPDB. Validation Server reports provide identical information to the ones generated at deposition.
Structural models may be assessed independently or together with experimental data (crystallographic structure factors or NMR chemical shifts) for validation of model/data correspondence.
In January 2014, the wwPDB launched a unified deposition, annotation, and validation system (RCSB PDB | PDBe | PDBj) for structures determined using X-ray crystallography. More than 14000 structures have been deposited, annotated, and validated using this system, with more than 9000 structures already released into the PDB archive. The new system uses the PDBx/mmCIF data format, which produces more uniform data, supports replacement of data files pre- and post-deposition, enhances communication with depositors, enables improved annotation, and provides validation reports based on recommendations from wwPDB expert task forces. Improvements to this system are regularly incorporated in response to user feedback. Detailed information and video tutorials are available.
An extended version of the unified wwPDB deposition, annotation, and validation system supporting structures determined by X-ray crystallography, NMR, and 3D EM was launched January 8th 2016. The extended system is integrated with the repositories for NMR and 3D EM experimental data and can assign both BMRB and EMDB accession codes.
Starting May 31st 2016, the legacy deposition systems, AutoDep, ADIT-NMR (BMRB|PDBj) and EMDep, will no longer accept new PDB and EMDB submissions. Depositors with in-progress sessions on the legacy systems will be able to access and complete their deposition sessions until September 30th 2016.
An updated ADIT-NMR system (available from BMRB and PDBj-BMRB) will continue to accept NMR data associated with a structure currently not accepted by the unified wwPDB deposition system (for example, relaxation data, and primary time-domain spectra) as well as experimental NMR data not associated with the deposition of 3D coordinates.

my pc is:

this game is cool and Amazing
Is the game still alive?
Here on itch.io is old and last version. There is newer game version on Steam:
Also I focus on other game projects too, like this:
Pretty fun stuff!
Infection Rate New Release - Version 1.0.9
- Infection Rate is released on Steam, demo is available too
- Steam Achievements
- Steam Leaderboards
- Steam Cloud
- Steam Trading Cards (they are ready but waiting approval)
- Bug Fix: When the player bleeding, zombies immediately can smell him, now a little time is required before this happens, and he can react with bandage.
- Minor bug fixes
Please help!!!
What happens? Your uploaded image not showing.
You starting trough itch.io app or not? https://itch.io/app Try directly from EXE file and Run As Administrator. Also sometimes antivirus programs blocking the exe filе for unknown reasons. And you must have at least this: Intel Core 2 Duo or better, 4 GB RAM, GTX 280 or ATI analog with at least 1GB Ram and DirectX9.0c compatible. Of course the crash reason may be other.
So after playing for a short bit, I noticed a lot of flaws with this game. Here's a list of things I think could use an improvement:
- Please consider changing the controls, tank controls are terrible for an online game in 2017.
- Aiming is pretty weird. Sometimes the crosshair appears, sometimes it doesn't. I also noticed that the aiming isn't accurate with the mouse.
- Sometimes gun shots will go through zombies.
- Stamina meter is too short.
- Animations need some serious rework. They're either really awkward, or they don't look seamless, and bones will twitch into place once the animation loops.
- The camera is directly behind the player, and so it's difficult to see things directly in front of you. Slightly raising the camera and aiming in downwards would work a little better, or you could do the camera lock thing like Resident Evil 4.
- Voice acting isn't terrible, but it could be done a little better.
- The characters look great, but the environments need a serious remodel. Looks like a mobile game with this.
- It's too difficult for zombies to actually attack you. Whenever they do actually manage to attack, it's a miss.
- The login system is a bit strange. I've never seen an online game that doesn't use registration with a Email, & Password. The username and PIN is pretty weird.
Thanks for advice:
- What is "Tank controls"... If you mean W A S D keys for moving and rotating, they are used in other games too.
- Distance in the game can be: Near (below 5 meters), Normal (from 5 to 10 meters) and Far (15 meters and more). Crosshair icon is showing only on Normal distance. Some characters have skill for Far icon. So, if you Aim point at something far, you can't see crosshair. Mouse is used only for Up and Down for Aiming, Left and Right is with A D keys.
- Yes sometimes this happens in very near distance. From normal and far distance you must be sure you pointing at zombies.
- Stamina bars recharging time is different for every character. For example Dimitri is big and slow, females are faster... Check Help menu in-game for more information.
- Yes indeed.
- Yes it's possible to be made this for default camera position. But the player have opportunity to rotate around the character and moving near or far the camera. Also with A D key rotation is hard to miss something near to you.
- Voice acting for females are made by real actor: http://freesound.org/people/11linda/ and I am happy for this. But male characters are made with PC generated voice acting program. I plan to find real actors for the males in the future versions of the game.
- Yes they can be better.
- They have different Hit Rate, between 30-40% chance for miss. Also on every difficulty (Easy to Hard) they have different stats.
- This is temporary solution. I don't want to store complicated accounts on my host. Email & Password is the same like a Username & PIN (which can be remembered very easy). Also I don't have plans for options like a forgot password, change password and so on... Just I am not sure my host will be stable and online forever to store this data. Anyway in next versions I have better solution for this... but that's all for now, that I can say before next updates.
I would like to download the game, but whenever I click download, I am redirected to "Not found, error 404" on your website.

As a Christian, I feel that Easter is the reason for Christianity. And this year I'm going to share some of these gifs. Hope you enjoy. #Hallelujah
As a Christian, I feel that Easter is the reason for Christianity. And this year I'm going to share some of these gifs. Hope you enjoy. #Hallelujah
Dear friends, today was an Easter presentation in sacrament meeting due to next week being fast and testimony meeting and Easter Sunday it's General Conference (yeah!). I was given an assignment to speak on the resurrection of Jesus, specifically when Mary Magdalene saw him and when He met Cleopas on the road to Emmaus. I've decided to share my talk with you. I hope you enjoy and feel inspired. #BecauseHeLives and see Easter week inspiration at mormon.org/easter
The prophet, President Ezra Taft Benson stated:
The greatest events of history are those that affect the greatest number of people for the longest periods. By this standard, no event could be more important to individuals or nations than the resurrection of the Master.
I remember that day, when the Master was resurrected, it made all the difference and we, His disciples, were glad.
I remember how the Sabbath after that Passover we were all so low in heart. We didn't think it would end just like that – our Master, our Teacher, Jesus, betrayed by a friend, a so-called trial, whipped and then hung, nailed,on a cross, next to criminals. All He did was to love His people, love us,love our Father, His Father.
I remember how we knew He was the Anointed One, the Messiah, sent to redeem Israel, sent to save us. He had in many ways already redeemed us – He had forgiven us, healed us, loved us, shown us the way to live and to love. Maybe some of us were expecting more – redemption from the Romans. So, for it all to end with His death, just a few days after His triumphant entry into Jerusalem, well, it was a shock. A great shock! So that Sabbath we were all very low.
I remember how a few of us women decided to go to the tomb and dress His body – it was all such a rush after the crucifixion. We planned to go early in the morning 'when it was yet dark' (John 20 v 1) – we thought the Roman soldiers, who were placed as guards, would be more likely to unseal the tomb for a small group of women.
I remember how as we approached, mournfully with the spices prepared, we saw no soldiers, no guards, and the tomb was no longer sealed – the large stone lay discarded to one side of the tomb opening.
I remember that two men were there; where we expected to find Jesus' body, nothing, Jesus was not there, only neatly folded linen clothes. The men asked us, "Why seek ye the living among the dead? He is not here, but is risen…" (Luke 24 vv5-6). Our hearts were touched – I can't explain how; I was sad, confused, angry but felt something exciting too. We were told to not fear but to "go quickly" and tell his disciples (Matthew 28 v 7). Mary, Jesus' mother, seemed to sense that these were messengers from God so we did as they told us and went to tell His Apostles, returning with Peter and John. They also seemed to not fully understand and eventually I alone remained, outside the tomb, my confusion and tears my only comfort.
I remember someone asked me, "Why weepest thou?" Without really looking round, so I thought it was the gardener, and I asked, "Sir, if thou have borne him hence, tell me where thou hast laid him, and I will take him away." (John 20 v 15)
Then, I remember, He spoke my name, "Mary." And instantly I knew, Jesus, and I turned.
I remember how my heart, my whole body surged with joy, with burning. "Rabboni; which is to say 'Master,'" (John 20 v 16) I cried and I went to embrace Him, for with my own eyes I could see He was not a spirit; No!, He was real, He was flesh and I could touch Him. But He stopped me saying, "I am not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren" (John 20 v 17).
I remember how I didn't want to take my eyes off Him, but I had to – to be obedient – and as I quickly went I realised iit's OK, He's always going to be here, He was alive again, never to be killed again; truly He is the Son of God.
And I remember how I was filled with hope more than I could ever imagine; hope, that I could not only be a better person, I was filled with the hope that I, you, we would live again, that death is not the end of life; that truly we all can literally live with our Father in Heaven again.
I remember how later that day, we heard of how Jesus walked and talked with two of the brethren as they travelled to Emmaus – but they did not recognise Him at first. Their hearts burned as He discussed and explained scripture with them concerning our Lord, even right from Moses. It was only as they all sat to eat and He broke bread that they recognised Him as Jesus, and then He was gone.
I remember the love I have for Jesus and how, knowing what I know, I do not want to let Him down. I want to do my part by living and sharing Jesus' great message.
I remember how I walked with Jesus when He was a man, how I shed tears of sorrow when He died, and how my heart almost burst when I beheld Him as my God, to never die again.
The prophet, President David O. McKay said, "I think that there are many in this congregation … who have had their hearts 'burn within them' and I hope as their hearts have burned within them, that they realised the message that went into their hearts. I hope they have an inkling, at least, of the divine truth that they are sons [and daughters] of God, and that that burning within them was just a touch of harmony between them and the infinite, the Spirit of God which will enlighten our minds, quicken our understandings and bring all things to our remembrance."

Monday Color: Salmon
My mother has always had an affinity for the color salmon, which she repeatedly paired with various blues in every house that I can remember. I can't blame her; salmon is an incredibly pleasing and versatile color to decorate with, falling comfortably between its more daring cousins of orange and pink. It can feel either classic or modern, depending on the way its used. Feast your eyes on these delicious salmon rooms and accents.....

Mi'kmawey Winter Hike
With an unexpected day off from school, the kids seemed more than happy to stay inside in front of their electronic device of choice for as long as I would allow. But I know from experience that leaving a child to watch TV or to play on their iPod for an extended period of time is a lot like a wind-up toy. When you stop turning the crank and let the toy go… watch out for the crazy to be unleashed!

BENEFITS Britain star Gordon Higginbotham has been jailed for attacking his future son-in-law with a meat cleaver.
Former skinhead Gordon, who starred in Channel 5's Benefits Britain: Life on the Dole, went berserk during his wedding anniversary celebrations as his daughter screamed: "Dad. No. Don't" amid a shower of blood.
Son-in-law Luke Swyer has been left scarred for life after the bloody attack at the party.
The Nazi-loving dad of four buried the cleaver in his victim's face and struck him twice more with the weapon despite daughter Catherine, 22, begging him to stop.
He has been jailed for seven years.
Swyer was left with a permanent scar on the side of his face, needed hospital treatment for a fractured skull, and may never be able to use one of his hands properly again.
He said in a victim impact statement he was still in pain from his injuries which had left him permanently scarred and needing further surgery to his face.
The court heard Swyer had left the party at Frampton Close, Bransholme, at lunchtime but returned at 9.30pm when he was confronted by Higinbotham on the doorstep.
Higginbotham snarled: "You are a p****, I am going to smash your face in" and Swyer snapped back "Go on then".
Prosecutor Philip Evans said: "The defendant is said to collect knives and went to get a recent addition to his collection. He approached the complainant with a meat cleaver as his daughter was saying 'Dad, no don't'.
"Mr Higinbotham swung the meat cleaver at the complainant and made contact with a whack to the face, causing a deep wound and blood to go in all directions. The defendant followed the attack with further attacks, twice connecting with the victim."
Nigel Clive, mitigating, said: "The complainant was involved in a long-standing abusive relationship with the defendant's daughter. But prior to this he had a relatively good relationship with Mr Swyer.
They would speak on numerous occasions about his treatment of Catherine.
"On the day of the offence, the complainant had turned up drunk and was mistreating his daughter. The defendant had simply had enough and saw red mist.
"He tells me he went to get the bladed instrument to scare the complainant away but instead lashed out, causing the most terrible injuries."
Judge Mark Bury said: "This was a repeated assault on the same victim with a weapon you had deliberately armed yourself with and you approached him from behind."
While accepting a defence claim that Higinbotham did not collect knives, the judge added: "Generally, it seems you are a family man with many positive qualities but you let yourself go on this occasion and such a serious offence must be met with a significant prison sentence."
Higinbotham admitted wounding with intent on July 2, and was jailed for six years and eight months. He has not worked for decades and picks up £200 a week in benefits while living in a three-bed council house.
In July 2014, he was filmed walking around Bransholme, one of Europe's largest council estates wearing a "Skinheads Forever" jacket and bragging: "I like anyone as long as they're English."
His 15 tattoos include a white power slogan and a foot-long image of Adolf Hitler.

The young men who say boxing is better than booze
I've just got back from a visit to the gym where I used to train in boxing as a teenager. It used to be a professional boxing gym, but I've just met Kim, a mum who has devoted her life to helping her son become a boxer, who has now set up an amateur club at the gym as well.
Kim and her son's story is remarkable. Her son got into some trouble with a local gang and broke a gang member's jaw. The policeman who took him home told him that with a punch like that, he should become a boxer - and gave him the details of Spanniorum Farm Gym. So Kim has devoted herself to driving her son to the gym twice a day to make his aim of becoming a professional boxer a reality.
That was a year ago.
Now her son has stopped drinking, doesn't smoke and spends Saturday nights in or training. Kim told me how his mates had asked why they didn't see him out anymore and invited him out on the beers. He refused and invited them down to the gym instead. They came down to the gym expecting to show their boxing-obsessed mate what being hard was really all about, and realised just how unfit they were. Then Kim led me across the gym and introduced me to his mates. They've given up the nights at the pub and been boxing ever since.
None of this would have happened without Kim's extraordinary parental dedication. And none of it would have happened without one policeman who thought boxing could turn a potential troublemaker into a champion.
I'm chairing a public meeting on reducing youth crime and antisocial behaviour on Saturday. Guess what's going to be on my priority list for sorting it out.

Styled by Natasha Zoe Garrett and Shot by Montana Lowery
Featured in an editorial for PINNACLE:REINVENT THE ICON
"We've been channeling our inner badasses lately by continuing to sport—in good measure, of course—last season's studs, chains, big shoulders, and black leather everything. Valerie Rubinaccio's dual-finger chain rings make carefully cultivating a tough-girl image that much easier. They're like a drapier, dare-we-say elegant take on brass knuckles (if that's possible), they're adjustable to fit multiple fingers, and come in a variety of chains. So when you want to balance the bad with the beautiful, you can snag one for yourself here."
"Welcome to the chain gang, ladies. As if we haven't noticed, chains and studs are becoming Fall's current to-do fashion swing. In attempt to introduce two-finger rings as our current brass knuckle must haves, designer Valerie Rubinaccio brings the 'WOW' factor in today's fashion accessory. Dig it? Head over toPatricia's shop to get a couple in different color combinations."
"The Chain Rings are fresh from the oven, first launched this summer and, what was to be expected, critically acclaimed...It's a perfect match for a punk rock attitude, the trendiest one around, so don't be surprised if Valerie Rubinaccio's jewelry will be soon spotted on the likes of Agyness and Alice Dellal...Also, you might want to consider her web necklaces, a match made in chains heaven for the above chain rings!

Like many cities, Denver has installed "red light cameras" to catch drivers who put others at risk by running red lights. Currently, the city operates cameras at four intersections.
You can't always trust the insurance company
After a serious car crash, one of the first things nearly everyone does is call their insurance company. This isn't necessarily wrong - you do have to make a claim, after all.
6-car Colorado accident injures actor James Woods
Actor James Woods took to Twitter to describe a frightening car accident in Colorado. The accident happened on Interstate 70 in Glenwood Canyon on Monday, Dec. 14.
Drunk driving is a huge threat on Thanksgiving
Thanksgiving weekend is a time to celebrate and have fun with friends and family. For many people, this means gathering up the friends who are back in town to hang out at the bar. For others, the drinking starts early on Thanksgiving afternoon and lasts well through dessert and into the evening.
Winter's almost here. Do you know how to stay safe?
Denver just had its first snowfall of the season, bringing back that familiar parade of motorists who seem to have forgotten how to drive since last winter.
Car slams into house, injures grandfather
People who are sleeping in their bedrooms don't expect to be involved in late-night car accidents, but that's exactly what happened to a grandfather and a young teen in Douglas County, Colorado, on Oct. 5th. A car slammed into their home, breaking the wall and throwing debris all across the room.
Children live through a car accident, thanks to the seat belts
Two young girls are alive and well, with just some minor injuries, after a two-car wreck in Colorado Springs, Colorado. The emergency response team that came to the scene of the crash says that the only reason they can make that claim is that they were both buckled in. The police chief didn't say the girls would have passed away without the seat belts, but that they could have been hurt much more seriously.
Colorado car accident leaves one woman dead
On Saturday afternoon, September 12, a woman was killed after being struck by a pickup truck. The accident occurred in Colorado Springs near North Circle Drive and East Uintah Street just before 4 p.m. Police took the pickup driver, a 64-year-old man, into custody for suspicion of vehicular homicide.
Colorado and Wyoming car accident injuries: What is whiplash?
Whiplash -- a word heard frequently in reference to car accidents -- but what does it really mean? Even victims of car accidents often do not know what it means when a doctor tells them they have whiplash. Part of seeking personal injury damages following a car accident is fully understanding the nature of your injuries. It helps with the eventual success of your legal efforts and also relieves anxiety about what is actually wrong with you.
How does driving while drowsy affect Colorado motorists?
In recent years, drowsy driving and sleep deprivation has become a serious problem in the United States. Estimates indicate that about 56,000 car accidents occur annually due to fatigue or drowsiness. In turn, this problem has caused almost 1,500 accident-related deaths as well as about 40,000 injuries per year. While not getting enough sleep is a main contributor to drowsy driving, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration says other factors also contribute to this problem in Colorado, Wyoming and other states.

There are many new skills and skill uses that are necessary for the smooth operation of a modern genre.
These skills are in addition to the Pathfinder Role Playing Game core rules and can be used by any class.
The following a new ways to utilize craft skills.
New Skill Uses
The following apply to all craft skills.
All Craft skills can repair any item within their specialty. The following applies to all Craft skills on how to repair items.
Check: The DC varies by the complexity of the object being repaired
In general, simple repairs have a DC of 10 to 15 and require no more than a few minutes to accomplish.
More complex repair work has a DC of 20 or higher and can require an hour or more to complete.
Using a Craft skill to attempt a repair requires an appropriate tool kit. Without it, the character takes a –2 penalty on the check.
A character can choose to attempt jury-rigged or temporary repairs. Doing this will allow the character to make the checks in as little as a full-round action.
However, a jury-rigged repair can only fix a single problem with a check and the temporary repair only lasts until the end of the current scene or encounter. The jury-rigged object must be fully repaired thereafter.
The jury-rig application of any craft skill can be used untrained.
New Craft Skills
Electronic (Intelligence, Trained Only)
Description: This skill allows a character to build and repair electronic equipment from scratch, such as audio and video equipment, timers and listening devices, or radios and communication devices.
Explosive (Intelligence, Trained Only)
Description: This skill allows a character to connect, create and set explosives substances and devices.
Setting a simple explosive to blow up at a certain spot doesn't require a check, but connecting and setting a detonator does. Also, placing an explosive for maximum effect against a structure calls for a check, as does disarming an explosive device.
Check: A successful check produces a product of solid material, about the size of a brick. An explosive compound does not include a fuse or detonator.
1 Scratch built explosives deal concussion damage.
Set Detonator: Most explosives require a detonator to go off. Connecting a detonator to an explosive requires a Craft (explosives) check (DC 10). Failure means that the explosive fails to go off as planned. Failure by 10 or more means the explosive goes off as the detonator is being installed. A character can make an explosive difficult to disarm. To do so, the character chooses the disarm DC before making his or her check to set the detonator (it must be higher than 10). The character's DC to set the detonator is equal to the disarm DC.
Place Explosive Device: Carefully placing an explosive against a fixed structure (a stationary, unattended inanimate object) can maximize the damage dealt by exploiting vulnerabilities in the structure's construction. The GM makes the check (so that the character doesn't know exactly how well he or he has done). On a result of 15 or higher, the explosive deals double damage to the structure against which it is placed. On a result of 25 or higher, it deals triple damage to the structure. In all cases, it deals normal damage to all other targets within its burst radius.
Disarm Explosive Device: Disarming an explosive that has been set to go off requires a Craft (explosives) check. The DC is usually 10, unless the person who set the detonator chose a higher disarm DC. If the character fails the check, he does not disarm the explosive. If the character fails by more than 5, the explosive goes off.
Action: Setting a detonator is usually a full-round action. Placing an explosive device takes 1 minute or more, depending on the scope of the job.
Try Again: Building an explosive from scratch is dangerous. If the Craft (explosives) check fails, the raw materials are wasted. If the check fails by 5 or more, the explosive compound detonates as it is being made, dealing half of its intended damage to the builder and anyone else in the burst radius.
Special: A character can take 10 when using the Craft (explosives) skill, but can't take 20.
Mechanical (Intelligence, Trained Only)
Description: This skill allows a character to build and repair mechanical devices from scratch, including engines and engine parts, weapons, armor and other gadgets.
When building a mechanical device from scratch, the character describes the kind of device he wants to construct; then the Gamemaster decides if the device is simple, moderate, complex, or advanced compared to current technology.
Pharmaceutical (Intelligence, Trained Only)
This skill allows a character to compound medicinal drugs to aid in recovery from treatable illnesses.
A medicinal drug gives a +2 circumstance bonus on Fortitude saves made to resist the effects of a disease, drug, or poison.
The Craft (pharmaceutical) check is based on the severity of the disease, drug or poison to be countered as measured by the DC of the Fortitude save needed to resist it.
Structural (Intelligence)
Description: This skill allows a character to build and repair wooden, concrete, or metal structures from scratch, including bookcases, desks, walls, houses and so forth and includes such handyman skills as plumbing, house painting, drywall, laying cement and building cabinets.
When building a structure from scratch, the character describes the kind of structure he or he wants to construct; then the Gamemaster decides if the structure is simple, moderate, complex, or advanced in scope and difficulty.
Knowledge (Intelligence, Trained Only)
Description: This skill encompasses several categories, each of them treated as a separate skill.
Information: A character makes a Knowledge check to gain any general information associated with the skill.
Check: The DC for answering a question within the character's field of study is 10 for easy questions, 15 for basic questions and 20 to 30 for tough questions.
The Knowledge categories and the topics each one encompasses are as follows.
Fine arts and graphic arts, including art history and artistic techniques
Antiques, modern art, photography and performance art forms, such as music and dance, among others
Behavioral Sciences
Psychology, sociology and criminology.
Business procedures, investment strategies and corporate structures.
Bureaucratic procedures and how to navigate them.
Law, legislation, litigation, legal rights and obligations.
Political and governmental institutions and processes.
Current Events
Recent happenings in the news, sports, politics, entertainment and foreign affairs.
Earth and Life Sciences
Biology, botany, genetics, geology, paleontology, medicine and forensics.
Physical Sciences
Astronomy, chemistry, mathematics, physics and engineering.
Popular Culture
Popular music, personalities, genre films, books, comics, science fiction and gaming, among others.
Street and urban culture, local underworld personalities, events and urban legends.
Techniques and strategies for disposing and maneuvering forces in combat.
Current developments in cutting-edge devices, as well as the background necessary to identify various technological devices. This also encompasses the use and programming of computers and other technology (See below).
Technology Check
Most normal computer operations don't require Knowledge (technology) check. However, searching an unfamiliar network for a particular file, writing computer programs, altering existing programs to perform differently (better or worse) and breaking through computer security are all relatively difficult and require skill checks.
Find File
This skill can be used for finding files or data on an unfamiliar system. The DC for the check and the time required are determined by the size of the site on which the character is searching.
Finding public information on the Internet does not fall under this category. This application of the Knowledge (technology) skill only pertains to finding files on private systems with which the character is not familiar.
Defeat Computer Security
This application of Knowledge (technology) can't be used untrained. The DC is determined by the quality of the security program installed to defend the system. If the check is failed by 5 or more, the security system immediately alerts its administrator that there has been an unauthorized entry. An alerted administrator may attempt to identify the character or cut off the character's access to the system.
Sometimes, when accessing a difficult site, the character has to defeat security at more than one stage of the operation. If the character beats the DC by 10 or more when attempting to defeat computer security, the character automatically succeeds at all subsequent security checks at that site until the end of the character's session (see Computer Hacking below).
Computer Hacking
When a character hacks, he attempts to invade a site. A site is a virtual location containing files, data, or applications.
Some sites can be accessed via the Internet; others are not connected to any outside network and can only be tapped into by a user who physically accesses a computer connected to the site.
Every site is overseen by a system administrator—the person in charge of the site and who maintains its security.
When a character hacks into a site, the visit is called a session. Once a character stops accessing the site, the session is over. The character can go back to the site in the future; when he or he does, it's a new session.
Several steps are required to hack into a site:
Covering Tracks
By making a Knowledge (technology) check DC 20, a character can alter his or her identifying information
This imposes a –5 penalty on any attempt made to identify the character if his or her activity is detected.
Access the Site
There are two ways to do this: physically or over the Internet.
Physical Access
A character gains physical access to the computer, or a computer connected to the site.
Internet Access
Reaching a site over the net requires two Knowledge (technology) checks. The first check (DC 10) is needed to find the site on the net. The second is a check to defeat computer security. Once a character has succeeded in both checks, the character has accessed the site.
Locate Data
To find the data the character wants, make a Knowledge (technology) check.
Defeat File Security
Many networks have additional file security. If that's the case, the character needs to make another check to defeat computer security.
Do Your Stuff
If the character just wants to look at records or download data, no additional check is needed.
Altering or deleting records sometimes requires yet another check to defeat computer security.
Defend Security
If the site alerts the character to an intruder, the character can attempt to cut off the intruder's access (end the intruder's session) or even to identify the intruder.
To cut off access, make an opposed Knowledge (technology) check against the intruder
One surefire way to prevent further access is to simply shut the site down
To identify the intruder, make an opposed Knowledge (technology) check against the intruder.
Degrade Programming
A character can destroy or alter applications on a computer to make use of that computer harder or impossible. The DC for the attempt depends on what the character tries to do.
Fixing the degraded programming requires 1 hour and a Knowledge (technology) check against a DC equal to the DC for degrading it +5.
Write Program
A character can create a program to help with a specific task. Doing so grants the character a +2 circumstance bonus to the task.
A specific task, in this case, is one type of operation with one target.
The DC to write a program is 20; the time required is 1 hour.
Operate Remote Device
The DC depends on the nature of the operation. If the character fails the check by 5 or more, the system immediately alerts its administrator that there has been an unauthorized use of the equipment.
Actions and Modifiers
Perform (Charisma)
This skill applies to various art forms and their presentation.
Description: The character is a gifted comedian, capable of performing a stand-up routine before an audience
Visual Art
Description: This skill allows a character to create paintings or drawings, take photographs, use a video camera, or in some other way create a work of visual art.
Description: This skill allows a character to create short stories, novels, scripts, screenplays, newspaper articles, columns and similar works of writing.
Profession (Wisdom)
The following a new ways to utilize Profession skills.
New Skill Uses
You can gain additional funds based on credit using your Profession skill. This can be done once per each rank. Each time a check is made, one rank in this skill is put on hold (can't be used) until the funds are repaid. If a natural roll of 1 is made during a check, the character permanently loses 1 skill rank.
Credit Rewards
Day Job
At the end of each adventure, the character can make one "Day Job" check based on his Profession skill for additional funds. Please see the Pathfinder's Role Playing Game: Guide to Pathfinder Society Organized Play, Chapter 5.
Day Job Rewards
The following Profession skills are needed to operate a vehicle type.
With the Profession skill, you are able to add your skill points to the base stats for the vehicle.
Vehicles are described by a number of statistics, as shown in Equipment – Vehicles
This skill is used for operating a land based vehicle.
Routine tasks, such as ordinary driving, don't require a skill check. Make a check only when some unusual circumstance exists.
This skill is used for operating a water based vehicle.
Routine tasks, such as ordinary sailing, don't require a skill check. Make a check only when some unusual circumstance exists.
This skill is used for operating an air based vehicle.
Routine tasks, such as ordinary flying, don't require a skill check. Make a check only when some unusual circumstance exists.
