So, I am aware of the stuffcmds function and what it does. What I don't know is what commands are valid that I can send to it. Currently, I know that bf and v_cshift work, but what else is there? I wanted to use the play command to attempt to play certain sounds locally to certain players, which others can't hear. I just don't know what is allowed and what isn't.
No announcement yet.

stuffcmds question (SpecialBomb's QC Questions, again)Tags: None
Stuffcmds is basically like entering a command to the console. Which means any command or cvar can be sent, if I'm not mistaken. I'm not entirely certain what the difference between stuffcmd and localcmd is, but I know it has something to do with client / server relationship.
I'm sure spike will be along shortly to give a better answer and correct whatever I said wrong.
stuffcmd sends to a client entity, localcmd sends a command to the server. This is an important distinction if you wanted to change the gravity, for example.
There really isn't a limit to what you can stuffcmd. It's exactly like the player typed in a command into the console. You could do "bind mouse1 kill" so that the player kills themself on mouse click even after they leave the server (until they rebind it manually). You can even run into issues where some commands exist on one client (say, Darkplaces) and not on another.
the list of what you can do via stuffcmd is limited by how considerate the modder is.
for instance, binding random keys is a spiteful act if the user doesn't want to kill themselves every time they try firing, for instance... Changing cvars is generally wrong too as they'll linger even if the player connects to a different server afterwards, they're especially malicious if they'll get saved into the user's config.
That said, sometimes its the only way to achieve something, so what other choice do you have?
Just try to avoid doing anything that'll linger.
It is common for multiplayer mods to send aliases via stuffcmds. This is generally a more friendly way to deal with bindings (instead of documenting impulse numbers), but still requires the player to be aware of it (most clients have some aliaslist or something command that shows what's available).
But yes, you can potentially send ANY console command to clients via stuffcmd. A favourite is the unbindall command, but there's other commands that can require the user to reinstall quake, or worse. Some clients try to limit what servers may do, but as a general rule you can send whatever you want, there is no definitive list. If the client has it as a command/cvar/alias/potato then you can try to use it, for malice or otherwise. Just please try not to be too evil.
The other thing to avoid is resending the same thing all the frikkin time. That sort of thing just bloats network packets, so don't do it. I've seen mods for DP do this a lot, combined with big long cvar names, and thus resulting in players actually getting kicked due to overflows.
@Just please try not to be too evil.
Or be cleverly evil. Make a mod called "Stuff You". Stay away from binding things to kill and instead bind things to other annoying ideas that aren't necessarily obvious. Like having the next/prev weapon skip ahead/back 2 weapons instead of one or putting some "just long enough" wait on the jump command..
I don't know if that last one is possible but, I know I have seen the word wait in a cfg so, there is probably something annoying there.
If it's possible, some kind of way listen for the window close event and change the persons cfg back. Then when they open it again change it back to the sucky thing . This way they will go nutz trying to figure out what's wrong. While you are at it, have your progs overwrite all the other progs so, no matter what they play it keeps changing their config back and forth.
Use the file i/o qc class to store a date for like 30 days in the future in some hidden file. As long as the current date is less than that date your mod runs fine but, once it is more than that date it's starts doing all kinds of subtle and hard to track nonsense (like the stuff I said above).
Speckle the mean code all over your entire source and simply refer to everything like it is something else.Last edited by MadGypsy; 06-30-2017, 10:53 PM.
Thanks for the explanation, I had a feeling it was along those lines.
Any cvars you alter, you may want to include in an autoexec that resets them to your default. That way, if a player disconnects shortly after having a cvar changed, it will revert to normal next time they launch the game. Be aware that you can fully comment your autoexec (although I believe it only recognizes '//', and you can't have semicolons anywhere), so you can write comments about the cvars you are defaulting in there, and why. Veteran players will always look in an autoexec, and will understand why you are 'forcing' them to use your settings if you have good comments.
Also keep in mind that not every Quake player is familiar with cvars and commands like modders are, so the more basic the better. In other words, you don't want to default the mouse sensitivity, because they'll wonder why they have to change it every time they load the game. It should be things that no one would normally alter themselves.
stuffcmd("play doors/drclos4\n")
don't include the .wav
Okay, so literally anything.
I remember Cobalt saying to me something like "In darkplaces, some commands can't be sent through stuffcmd," so it just depends on the server and client.
Next problem, rook told me how to do my sound thing, but then I realized that it does not directly play, but plays at the location of the player when he used the play command. Is there a way get direct audio played? Darkplaces has play2, but not everyone uses darkplaces.
No, I think he wants a sound to play only on a specific client's computer. I don't think there's a way of doing that without CSQC (i.e. DP/FTE).
The "play" command broadcasts a sound at the player's location?? As in, I can make it sound like I'm firing and exploding rockets when I'm not?
In any case, there is a way to send a sound to a client via WriteBytes, but you'd have to know the order the sounds were precached to have a chance at doing it correctly.
the problem with the play command is that, depending on client, it plays the sound at your current position...
which means it gets quiet fairly quickly as you move away, and blatently plays at different volumes on different speakers if you're still close.
some engines fixed it (which of course results in different behaviour), some engines added a more useful play2 command that solves the problem without behaviour differences.
some mods use writebytes to send sound effects (xonotic being one example). this requires that they know how the svc actually works. it also requires that they know the precache index of the sound file (possible if you have a fixed order inside worldspawn), so that's kinda messy.
in fte, you can use dimension_see+dimension_send and filter by players that way, allowing for unicast/multicast sounds.
Well, then I am fucked with the sound problem. I could go about doing a writebyte, but its really damn hard to know what all of the SVCs do.

Kohn Shnier Architects | Claude Watson School for the Arts
A landmark, at once urbane, accessible and distinct
Claude Watson School for the Arts provides specialized training in both Fine Arts and the Performing Arts and facilitates a conventional Toronto District School Board curriculum for grades 4 through 8. Students attend from all over Greater Toronto and must audition for the programme. The school is a symbol of the highest aspirations of applied cultural and primary
education. The building is sited alongside a suburban secondary road which is adjacent to high density, high rise residential buildings. In response, the project is a simple and compact form with a strong street presence while presenting an image of performance and accessibility.
A 50,000 square foot programme includes staff and technical facilities, conventional classrooms, music rooms, drama rooms, art rooms, a small gymnasium and a multi purpose room. This variety of space sizes is accommodated through a lateral shift of the corridor between the floor levels. On the lowest level, the hallway is located along one side, thereby freeing up room for the gymnasium and music rooms. By sinking this level slightly into the ground, higher ceilings are accommodated and overall massing proportions from the street are maintained. The second level corridor shifts to generate parallel zones for administration, service rooms and special programme areas. Views into the double height space of the gymnasium below showcase the clear-span truss structure.
On the top level, a central corridor creates a conventional double loaded classroom arrangement which leads on axis, to the library. Expressed as a floating volume, the library projects out and protects an outdoor performance space/bleacher below. The prevailing tectonic feature of the building is the aluminum brise soleil which protects the library from direct southern exposure. The hexagonal structure also alludes to "the hive", a clear analogue to the collective, creative activities of the students. The design takes advantage of natural lighting and boasts views over a park. Circulation spaces are wide and robust, designed to accommodate the exhibition of student work as well as the spontaneous desire to gather and perform.

PARIS — For Cheikh Ndoye, the dream of playing in England did not turn out as he envisioned.
Having spent all his playing days in French soccer, the powerful Senegal midfielder thought that crossing the Channel would mark a milestone in his career.
A year after he left Angers for Birmingham on a two-year deal, Ndoye is back with the French league team he captained from 2015-17. In about 40 matches with the second division English club, Ndoye did not score once and made headlines for the wrong reasons following a brawl with former England international John Terry.
"I always dreamt of England. It was a player's dream, shared by many of us," Ndoye said in an interview with L'Equipe newspaper. "But things did not turn out the way we expected them to."
Ndoye's altercation with Terry came during Aston Villa's 2-0 win over Birmingham in the closing stages of a local derby last season. After Ndoye grabbed Terry by the neck, he received a second yellow card and was sent off.
"It's true that it's an image that does not look like me. It never happened to me in France. It happened to me in England, so I'm sorry," the 32-year-old Ndoye said, recalling the incident. "He insulted me and caught me first. In fact, it was a stunt. They did it on purpose. I was stuck, I wanted him to let go, he did not want to let go, and I grabbed him by the neck. I took a second yellow card and he (escaped with) nothing."
Apart from the incident, the towering 6-foot, 2-inch Ndoye — who had scored 14 goals over two seasons at Angers before his departure — said he struggled to adapt to the English box-to-box style of play and to impose himself in the area, even from set pieces.
"I often had two players on me, because they knew I would win all the duels," he said. "Sometimes I went to the near post, and the ball landed at the far one. Then I would go to the far post, and the ball did not even reach the near one. That's the way it is."
Ndoye had turned down an offer for a new contract at Angers when he was recruited by then-Birmingham manager Harry Redknapp. But the club fired the coach following a poor string of results and replaced him temporarily with Lee Carsley. Steve Cotterill was then appointed on a permanent basis but did not last long after winning only six league games out of 24 and Garry Monk then became the club's fifth manager in 15 months.
"England is very special. Managers don't have time," Ndoye said. "You're in charge, you don't get results, they bring someone else. We also started last season with 13 new players, I believe only four of them are still there."
Ndoye is back in a more stable environment in western France, where he remains a fan favourite. Nicknamed "The Rock," or simply "The Boss," in Angers, Ndoye has yet to score since he returned from England. Angers has lost three of four league games ahead of Saturday's trip to second-place Dijon, but coach Stephane Moulin is confident Ndoye will ultimately bolster the team's midfield.
"Cheikh," Moulin said, "will bring us the strength and power we lacked."

This year marks my tenth year earning an exclusive living as an entrepreneur, making payroll for others, while balancing our client interests from professional sports to community medicine. I feel privileged to join the ranks of prior generations that found a way to make it on their own, even despite its natural trials and tribulations. While I thoroughly enjoy being a citizen of the world in my travels, new ventures, and projects, I believe that American entrepreneurs must carry the lit torch of "exceptionalism" with extreme care. To borrow a late Governor Mel Carnahan legacy phrase, "don't let the fire go out."
Increasingly, it is my responsibility to pass along to contract lobbyists, issue advocates, digital media producers, and event planners how to find, share, and expand our company vision and values. While every Aquarian job creator has at least one part dreamer already built in, it is important to realize that most of us are not born with such a landscape. Absorbing, learning, and applying a worthy vision comes from much customer research, strategic insights within your supply chain, and applied experience within your niche of professional service.
I had the honor of working for several visionary leaders in their days. While at the Monsanto Company, there was no doubt that executives like Bob Shapiro, Hendrik Verfaillie, Hugh Grant, and Robb Fraley laid down an audacious yet inspiring path for their employees to follow. Yet, if you look deeper into every corporate history, you begin to realize others before them, such as Dick Mahoney, Ernie Jaworski, and Will Carpenter may have secured such a foundation with dedicated research, a strong cultural history of results, and a focus on creating their own future.
When I mentor leaders today, sometimes others see the pursuit of a vision somehow as a license toward free roaming. James C. Collins and Jerry I. Porras may have said it best when they outlined what real visionaries do to make their cultures great, in Built to Last: Successful Habits of Visionary Companies. Here's an excerpt:
"Visionary," we learned, does not mean soft and undisciplined. Quite the contrary. Because the visionary companies have such clarity about who they are, what they're all about, and what they're trying to achieve, they tend to not have much room for people unwilling or unsuited to their demanding standards.
They go on to outline four common characteristics of these driven cultures:
1) Fervently held ideology (like Wal-Mart)
2) Indoctrination (like Walt Disney)
3) Tightness of Fit (like Nordstrom)
4) Elitism
If you do not have this management book on your reference shelf, I recommend pinging itunes for it. Having lobbied for such companies as Procter & Gamble, mentioned in the book, it seems to me right on target.
I have found it very useful in the strategic planning process to always start with a values or vision conversation, before moving to strategy, tactics, operations, and best practices. If you have an approach that has worked well for you, feel free to share it with me at @pelopidas.

On Saturday, August 8, 2020 at DEF CON 28 Social-Engineer.org will be holding our third annual SECTF4Teens event! This event will include teens ages 13-17.
Last year, we had our biggest turnout yet for the competition. We took it up a notch, from previous years, with harder ciphers and locks, and challenged their minds in both the physical and virtual world. As usual the teens met that challenge brilliantly. We can't wait for this year, as we step back to the future and challenge the kids with new ciphers and puzzles.
To decide if the SECTF4Teens competition is fit for your teen, we have created some helpful guidelines that outline the proficiency levels recommended for this competition. The guidelines and information on signing up are found below
Can't wait to see you and your teen at DEF CON 27!
The deadline for SECTF4Teens submissions is: June 15, 2020
Guidelines for Maximum Fun for All
Social-Engineer.org wants every teen (ages 13-17) to have a chance at participating and winning the SECTF4Teens competition. Keep in mind, there are certain skills that really must be mastered by your teen to enjoy participating. The following guidelines were created to help you decide if your teen has the skills necessary to compete, and for them to have fun while doing it.
The SECTF4Teens competition will include:
- Reading directions/instructions at various points of the game at 9th grade reading levels.
- Solving ciphers geared for 9th grade spelling levels.
- Thinking critically about problem solving without the assistance of others.
- Completing tasks or puzzles requiring logic, memory, or critical thinking skills.
- Following quick verbal instructions requiring listening skills and being able to take notes.
- Communicating verbally with other DEF CON attendees, a.k.a. strangers
- Accessing a smartphone/internet during the competition (if they do not have their own they can borrow yours, no worries!).
If you feel your teen possesses all of these skills than please read on…
Rules for Participation
Before you register your teen, please make sure you can follow all the rules below:
- The contestant must be between the ages of 13-17 at the time of the competition.
- Parent(s) of each contestant must be present for the Saturday morning kick off meeting.
- Parents may accompany their teen, but it is not required. However, no assistance is to be provided by the parents/siblings Please note that the SE Village is not a babysitter we are only putting on a competition for the teens.
- The parent or guardian must approve and complete the registration form.
- The parent or guardian agrees to be responsible for the contestant's conduct (participants are not the responsibility of DEF CON or Social-Engineer.Org).
- The contestant must be present at DEF CON from Friday through Sunday afternoon to be eligible to compete.
- Only the use of approved technology can be used. Work will have to be proved to successfully complete the competition.
- No cheating! Anyone accepting unauthorized help (including that of parents/guardians/siblings/friends) or sabotaging other teams will be disqualified.
The underlying idea of this contest: No one gets victimized for the duration of this contest. Social engineering skills can be demonstrated without engaging in unethical activities. The contest focuses on the skills of the contestant, not who does the most damage. Our goal is to raise awareness to the threat that social engineering poses and educate kids in skills that can be very useful in life.
Items that are NOT allowed to be targeted at any point of the contest:
Nothing that can get Social-Engineer.org, DEF CON, or the participants in the contest sued. Any techniques that would make a target feel as if they are "at risk" in any manner Use common sense. If something seems unethical, don't do it. If you have questions, ask a judge.
If at any point in the contest it appears that contestants are targeting anything on the "DO NOT" list, they will receive one warning. After the one warning, any infractions of the "DO NOT" list will result in disqualification from the contest.
If you can comply with all the above and think your social engineer has the skills to win, then register below. This form must be completed by the parent or guardian. Completing this form does not guarantee participation.

I was in Bangalore, India last week, and it seemed that cell phones were everywhere. Increased cell phone penetration — now estimated at over 500 million — and the ability to access the web cheaply and from anywhere, is driving rapid change. In fact, a headline in The Economic Times read:
"TWEET EQUITY: Consumers are exchanging notes online, even posting complaints on the CEO's Twitter page, leaving companies with no choice but to rethink strategies in a world where consumer behaviour is being driven by online exposure."
The social media phenomenon is global, there's no doubt about it. "Earned" media (e.g. user generated reviews, blogs, organic search, Facebook fans, Twitter followers, etc.) continues to increase in importance, no matter where brands reside. And as I've written about before, traditional "Paid" media (e.g. traditional TV, Print, paid search, etc.) is still viable.
So the bigger challenge for Marketers today is how to integrate the two into one larger Marketing communications interlocked plan. To do so, Marketers need a much better understanding of how they influence each other.
Questions About Earned Media
I talk to leading CMO's, Media Heads, and Heads of Research and Insights at major CPG companies on a frequent basis. Virtually all of them believe that earned media is growing in importance, and probably impacts other paid elements of their Marketing mix, but few have the research to really know for sure.
Questions I routinely hear include:
• What's the real value of a Facebook fan?
• Do positive blog posts make my advertising more effective?
• Does advertising drive more positive buzz?
These are great questions, but unfortunately, they're mostly just that–questions without answers. This is changing, however, as new research sheds light on how social media affects traditional paid advertising.
Measuring the Impact on Paid Advertising
One recent example is the initiative by Nielsen and Facebook to study the impact of social context on ads placed on Facebook (Disclosure: I work at Nielsen).
Nielsen and Facebook surveyed over 800,000 users, about 125 Facebook ad campaigns and 70 brand advertisers. Users were grouped into a control group (no ad exposure), a standard ad group (exposed to the ad only), and an Ad + Social Context group (exposed to the ad and the fact that their friends were fans of the brand–see below).
Key Learnings – Where's the Biggest Impact ?
The basic Ads on Facebook drove higher recall, awareness and purchase intent than the control group not exposed to ads. And, as you would expect, the ads with social context around the ads drove better results than the ad only group.
No Ad Control
Ad on Facebook
|Ad on Facebook with Social Context
Index Context Ad vs. No Context Ad
|Ad Recall
|Purch. Intent
What's more interesting to me is this: the results from having ads + social context improve as you move down the Marketing funnel from ad recall to purchase intent. That is, the ads with social context achieved 4x the purchase intent of the ads with no social context, while they recalled only 1.6x better.
It seems that positive earned media, in this case knowing that "your friends are fans of the advertised brand," makes more people notice your advertising, but has the greatest impact on the most important metric prior to purchase: Purchase Intent. It's the power of an indirect recommendation from people you know.
Putting the Learning Into Action
So, now we know that social context makes advertising more effective. The next obvious question is how brands can get more of it. And then CMO's will have a new challenge: getting positive earned media where it matters most–next to their brands advertising.

The expanding digital environments are no longer just tools to be in contact with people worldwide, but a space and a place where people meet and craft relationships. Social activities are not bound to the actual world anymore, which transforms our interaction with each other and our view on personal relationships (Buckingham Shum & Ferguson 2012: 8. Turkle 2011).
In the virtual world Second Life, it is possible to study how bonds between people and close relationships are created digitally and how boundaries of sites, groups and couples are made and unmade through the participation of the users. The overall theoretical frame departs from postmodern theories of love by Derrida, Barthes and Lacan. The model is related to relevant netnographic research (Boellstorff 2008. Ben-Ze'ev 2004. Aneesh 2012).
Findings are intended to contribute to the knowledge about the role of technology in the communicative crafting of emotional bonds. In virtual learning environments, one of the challenges is precisely to engage the participants in ways that make them emotionally and socially involved to remain connected to the space and to the learning.
The current study is focusing on 11 romantic spots rated as popular by the members. Three levels are distinguished as important to reveal the specificities of the crafting of Amor and Eros inside a virtual world: 1. The surroundings 2. The technological possibilities to perform social activities 3. The features of the love stories.
The first two themes are observed in the virtual world, in order to gather information about the multimodal characteristics of different types and levels of communication. The third theme is carried out through in-depth interviews with five informants inside Second Life. The results will reveal how different modes, different languages and language levels come into play to enhance the experience of a meeting between people.

Abarth 695 Maserati Edition Price And Specs
Remember the Abarth 695 Tributo Ferrari, the hyper-expensive hot hatch fettled with some help from Maranello? Well now Fiat has tuned up its baby 500C convertible pocket rocket with assistance from Maserati.
The new limited-edition Abarth 695 Maserati Edition will carry a similarly eye-watering price tag – just 499 of the convertible hot hatch will be built and it tops a heady 32,000.
Like the Ferrari version launched three years ago, the Maser 500 uses a 180bhp 1.4 engine breathed upon by a Garrett turbocharger to liberate 184lb ft at 3000rpm when Sport mode is selected.
Abarth's Competizione transmission is standard, its five speeds slotting up and down via steering wheel-mounted paddle shifts. A sports exhaust is claimed to improve the acoustics above 3000rpm.
Brembo monobloc brake callipers are fitted to stop this minuscule missile effectively, while Koni shock absorbers give a sportier, lower ride. Not too sporty, we hope; the Tributo Ferrari was a pogoing mess on British country roads.
Fiat swears its sporting brand has had input – and if you look hard enough, you can spot the influences. The 17in alloys have a Maserati-inspired Neptune design, apparently, and the paint is straight from the Maser colour charts – Pontevecchio Bordeaux. The foldback canvas roof is contrasting grey.
It all starts to get a bit more confusing inside, where Jaeger helped design the instrument pack, but there's the usual smattering of carbonfibre (kickplates), leather (wheel and seats) and a rather more surprising UV treatment on the door panels whose surface is described as 'flocking'.
UK sales of the Abarth 695 Maserati Edition start in late 2012. And if you're fretting over that sky-high price for a tarted-up Fiat 500, remember some of the extras thrown in 'for free'. There's a set of Tramontano leather luggage, xenon headlamps, climate control, sat-nav, a JBL hi-fi and limited-edition plaque numbering each edition from 1 to 499.
It's easy to scoff at absurdities such as the Maser 500, but dealers report that these cars do sell – sometimes to customers coming out of supercars or Merc SLs, who want something smaller and more discrete but without losing the exclusivity they crave.
The 695 Maserati Edition certainly has lower running costs than most supercars, with its 151g/km CO2 rating and 46.3mpg average economy figure. Yet Abarth claims a top speed in excess of 140mph and a 0-62mph time nudging just the right side of seven seconds.

Hiroshima City to auction off parts of the old stadium
by Gen on Feb.09, 2010 @ 11:00 pm, under High School, NPB
The city of Hiroshima announced on Tuesday that they planning on auctioning off pieces of the stadium to help pay for whatever will become of the plot of land (there's apparently a dispute about how the land should be used).
Amongst the items they plan to auction off:
Various kinds of seats
Home plate
The pitching rubber
The letters that were on the outside of the stadium
Seating charts that were used inside the stadium
In all, over 70 kinds of items, some with current and former player autographs
The city is also planning on selling key chains and mobile phone straps made out of the grass and dirt at the old stadium.
All told, the city is expecting sales of about 130M yen.
A city meeting to discuss the upcoming schedule (when to officially shut the stadium, when to begin demolishing it), future land use, and various other related issues is set to take place some time this month. As of now, the old stadium will shut its doors for the last time at the end of March. But depending on how the meeting goes, it's entirely possible that there might be a delay in the entire schedule.

The Hiroshima High School Baseball Association is asking the city of Hiroshima if it can play more games at Mazda Stadium (the report also mentions the old stadium but I don't see how that will be possible since it's shutting down at the end of March).
Last year, the Hiroshima High School Baseball Association was allowed to use the new stadium for 2 games (1 day) and the old stadium for 18 games. This year, they will be allowed to play 5 games over three days at the new stadium.

Firefighter Fired From 3 Departments For Social Media Post About Immigrants
Tom Gantert
Houston, TX – A Texas firefighter was terminated from three different departments after he posted on Facebook about hunting people at the Texas border.
Chris Bush, a 30-year firefighting veteran, worked for the Westfield Fire Department, the Bellaire Fire Department, and Harris County EMS, better known as Acute Medical, according to KTRK.
Last week, Bush made the inappropriate social media post and by Friday, he was no longer employed as a first responder anywhere.
"We should buy deer feeders fill them with pinto beans put them on the border and make a new hunting season. I wonder how many Texans will buy that hunting licenses and how many tags we would be allowed..." he wrote on his Facebook page.
The posting quickly went viral, highlighted by others who were upset a firefighter would post such a thing.
Then somebody on Facebook alerted one of Bush's employers, and the situation snowballed.
"His choice of occupation, which is essentially rendering aid and saving lives seemed at odds with someone saying let's hunt people," community member Michele Barth told KTRK.
The outrage the posting sparked showed that numerous people agreed it was the wrong thing for a professional firefighter to put on social media.
The Westfield Fire Department, where Bush first became a junior volunteer firefighter more than 30 year ago, was the first to say something publicly about his termination.
"[I'm] shocked, disappointed, outraged for the shame it brought to him and the department," Westfield Fire Department Chief Stephen Whitehead told KTRK. "He messed up, he was sorry, and he wishes he could take it back."
On Nov. 7, the Bellaire Fire Department released a statement about Bush's status.
"Wednesday morning we became aware of an inappropriate and offensive social media post by a part-time firefighter. Upon learning of that post, we took immediate and appropriate action, and the individual is no longer employed with the City of Bellaire," the statement read.
Acute Medical, where Bush also served as chief operating officer, put out a statement that said they, too, had ended their relationship with the career first responder.
"Mr. Bush is no longer employed at Acute Medical Services. We at AMS champion diversity and respect all dimensions of life, and do not discriminate based on age, race, religion, ethnicity and national origin, accessibility, disability, gender and gender identity, sexuality, class, marital status, veteran status or any other human dimension," Acute Medical's President, Dr. Setul Patel said in the statement sent to KTRK.
"As public servants, we have a duty to serve all human life that needs our help," Patel said.
Bush's wife stood up for her husband, whom she said was not available for comment.
"Well, I don't believe we should let other people over [the border] until we take care of people under our freeways," Cindy Bush told KTRK.

Hmmm, I almost got to check out the obligatory noitanimA anime of the season. Yeah, despite me giving Punchline some bullshit, I'm still interested in the now single-anime programming block.
Hmmmm? This show is directed by the same guy that did Assassination Classroom and also the studio from said anime animated this?
Guy also directed Persona 4 the Animation & Yuki Yuna is a Hero, both which are good shows.
Yeah, sign me up for this.
The name of the game is Ranpo Kitan – Game of Laplace.
Director: Seiji Kishi
Screenplay: Makoto Uezu
Music: Masaru Yokoyama
Original Concept: Rampo Edogawa
Theme Song Performance: amazarashi / Sayuri (ED)
Animation Production: Lerche

Plot Summary: The story takes place at a certain middle school where several murder cases take place. Kobayashi, a boy who goes to this school, meets genius detective Akechi, who comes to the school to investigate. Kobayashi takes an interest in Akechi and, in spite of his friend Hashiba's worries, he volunteers to be Akechi's assistant.
First Thoughts: The show has many things that kept the viewer intrigued whether it be its Sherlock Holmes-style mystery aesthetic to getting into the characters of Kobayashi and Akechi, especially with the former as it does seem like there is more to him as the episode plays on. While there is little to no action in this, it really doesn't need it as you become more focused into the plot of who killed their teacher and to clear Kobayashi's name. This does make a good first impression and I want to see more of this.
I wish I watched it earlier but hey, better late than never.
I would CONTINUE on a Medium Priority.
It's worth a shot if you like mysteries.
Now with that said, I'm MAK2.0 aka The Blue Hybrid, and I got to solve the mystery of WHO ATE MY HOT WINGS!?

Haunted on Saysutshun
Noelani Goodyear-Kaʻōpua is a Kanaka Maoli (Native Hawaiian) writer and educator. During a trip to Snuneymuxw territory, she was unsettled to find an apparently violent connection to her people on Saysutshun (Newcastle Island) when she came across Kanaka Bay and the story of so-called "Kanaka Pete."
Celestine Aleck, a Snuneymuxw author and cultural support worker, said she has never come across any information in Snuneymuxw archives about the story, but that she has heard versions of the story from elders while she was doing research about Saysutshun.
"I know that when the coal-mining era began Saysutshun was purchased for $1.00, so Snuneymuxw never had a say as to Kanaka being buried on their land that has always been used as a place of healing," Aleck said. "Since he was not from Nanaimo, he could not be buried there, so he was buried in the last place he was alive, which is now known as Kanaka Bay."
By Noelani Goodyear-Kaʻōpua
As Canadians celebrated the150th birthday of their confederation and tell stories about the founding of their settler state, many Indigenous people celebrated 150 years of resistance. I am thinking about the thousands of First Nations women that have been murdered or gone missing in the past century and a half. I am thinking about the Canadian government's insufficient inquiry into this issue.
I am also thinking about a story that has possessed me since my recent visit to Nanaimo. It is a story about a Hawaiian man who settlers have come to call, "Kanaka Pete," and who slayed his "Indian wife," Que-en; their infant daughter; and Que-en's parents, Squash-e-lik and Shil-at-ti-Nord. Retellings of this ghost story speak of an axe murderer whose spirit still haunts the uninhabited island where he was buried. But so many of the other horrors that provided the backdrop to this violent act are hidden in these narratives. I felt compelled to retell this story in solidarity with #Resistance150.
Looking for things to do in Nanaimo, my kāne (man/husband) and I came upon a map of a small island off the coast. The name "Kanaka Bay" caught our attention, and we knew immediately that we had to go check it out. So, the next morning we caught a 10-minute boat ride over to Newcastle Island. Upon arrival, we found a sign maintained by the Snuneymuxw First Nation indicating that the island is part of their territory and its real name is Saysutshun. Intrigued, ʻĪmai and I pressed on, eager to find out how Kānaka had left their mark on this place. We figured it had something to do with the hundreds of Kānaka who had come to the Pacific Northwest on whaling and fur trading ships.
My excitement turned to horror when we reached the bay and found a small sign that made brief mention of how the bay was named for a Hawaiian man who slaughtered his family in Nanaimo, then fled to, and was apprehended at, Newcastle. After being hung for his crimes, his body was buried in an unmarked grave at this site, and it became known as "Kanaka Bay."
Knowing the bones of a Kanaka might be somewhere under our feet, I wanted to give him proper respect. But I also wanted to learn more about this crime for which he was killed and to honor the people on whose territory he is buried. I couldn't stop thinking about him and about his wife and her people. The swirl of emotions that standing at the edge of this bay stirred in me stayed with me for days, actually for weeks.
The gruesome story of Peter Kakua and Que-en, and the conflicting feelings that churned in my na'au, focused my attention on questions that have been posed by Indigenous feminists for many, many years now: How do we fortify our nations by reclaiming our own notions of family, gender and sexuality? How do we confront the violences of patriarchy while loving and honoring our men, as vital parts of our nations? How do we raise up our women? How do we hold people in our communities accountable for individual acts of violence while not losing sight of the larger systems of violence and exploitation in which they are situated? How do we mourn Native women and men who have been murdered, gone missing, or taken their own lives, remembering them and retelling their stories, without replicating the traumas they suffered? How do we rematriate?
I chanted softly at the mouth of the bay, not knowing the protocols of the Snuneymuxw people. We stood in silence before we left the shore and crossed over to other parts of the island that were quarried for sandstone and mined for coal. If emptiness and thick presence can coexist, I felt them here.
Settler retellings of the story of "Kanaka Pete" draw on the worst, dehumanizing stereotypes of Indigenous people—drunken, violent, incestuous, irrational, at times pitiful and at others straight up evil, and certainly barbaric slaves to their own impulses. In some versions, Peter is represented as so drunk that he had practically no control. In some versions, seeing his wife having sex with her father sends him over the edge. In no version do we learn much about Que-en herself. It took me digging up a 1972 article published in the Hawaiian Journal of History to learn that she and her parents were from the Penelakut tribe, not Snuneymuxw. But the horror stories tell us nothing of her, usually not even her name.
So many structural and material violences are left out of the sensational ghost stories. I recount a few of those violences here. In so doing, I do not mean to exonerate Peter Kakua. But how can I visit the sands of his grave on this island so far from the sands of his birth, without bringing him some aloha, some recognition, some attempt to understand the life he was living? Where would I go to pay homage to Que-en and her daughter? How can I visit the territories of the Snuneymuxw and Penelakut peoples without offering some mihi (repentance, remorse) for the part that one of my people played in violences against their people and lands?
The Snuneymuxw nation's signage tells us this is a sacred place: "Those who carried the gift of spirituality and healing came to the island for spiritual training." The tiny island was also part of the Snuneymuxw people's migratory patterns; they moved with fishing cycles.
In the late 1840s, white settlers heard there was coal on this island. Once they confirmed the presence of coal on Saysutshun, settler companies began digging mine shafts, and a short but intense period of extraction ran from 1853-1856. The Hudson's Bay Company owned the fields for some time but sold them by 1862. Colonial miners dubbed the island "Newcastle," after the port city in the UK that was part of the oldest and most intensive coal mining industry in England. By 1854—in the midst of the coal rush—colonists in Nanaimo pushed for a treaty between the British Crown and the Snuneymuxw, alienating the first people and fixing them in place.
It was in 1853 that Peter Kakua left Hawai'i and began working for Hudson's Bay Company (HBC). It was a time of population collapse and rapid change in Hawai'i. We don't know why Kakua left—for adventure, opportunity, tragedy, necessity? But we know that he was one of hundreds who were recruited by HBC. In any case, he worked for the company on contract, as did many Kanaka, and then he went on to work for James Douglas, the Governor of Vancouver Island (who was also the head of HBC in that region). Since the 17th century, the British crown had given HBC monopoly trading rights over about 15 per cent of all the lands in North America, and the corporation was de facto colonial government over much of that territory through the mid-19th century. By the mid-1860s, Kakua found himself working for the Vancouver Coal Company at Nanaimo. It was there that he and his common-law wife,
Que-en, set up a modest home and had their baby girl.
Many of the stories begin with a drunk Kanaka Pete running, returning home from a night of drinking just as his wife, assisted by her parents, was packing up to leave him. A "failed marriage," they say.
Colonial legal records show that in December 1868, Peter Kakua admitted to having killed his wife, daughter and parents-in-law with an axe in their home. He was hunted, tried and executed by white authorities.
Mind you, this was not an established Canadian legal system that you might imagine. Corporate interests were deeply tied to what was becoming the settler government. In 1849, the British government leased Vancouver Island to the Hudson's Bay Company including the right to govern it. So many Kānaka settled in the area around HBC's headquarters in Victoria that the area was called "Kanaka Row."
The judge, Joseph Needham, who sentenced Kakua was a British barrister who arrived to serve a five-year term as chief justice only three years before Kakua's trial. He became known for doling out hangings in a few highly-controversial cases involving conflicts between Indians, Blacks and Kānaka. This fact and the ways that the stories of "Kanaka Pete" represent his relationship with Que-en as an unsuccessful marriage remind me of Dian Million's insights about "the white patriarchal state, a state that first destroyed and then substituted itself for their family and that can then sit in paternal judgment of their ʻmorality.'"
I wonder what it would be like to live in such a cold place thousands of miles from home, with no way back, and to suddenly confront the reality that you could be without a family. What is it like to wake in pools of their blood and feel the weight of their deaths sitting on your back?
I wonder what was Que-en's life was like. What knowledges did she hold in her hands? In her feet? In her gut? How long had she dealt with men who unleashed anger about the conditions of the lives onto her body? How did it feel to give birth in a time of land theft and rapid settlement? In one account, she and her parents were loading her things onto a canoe. What was their intended destination? If she had escaped, what stories would she whisper to her daughter? Whose names would she speak like medicines?
Settler stories say that the morning after the killings, Kanaka Pete tried to escape to the mainland, near Vancouver, but stopped off at Newcastle to drink some more and to drop off a companion. None of them mention that his friend, Adam Stepney, was Black, nor that there was a substantial population of free Black settlers that had been invited to the area by the Hudson's Bay Company. In fact, the first large wave of Black settlers to British Columbia were Californians who had been invited by James Douglas. Douglas's mother was an African Creole from the Caribbean.
Constables apprehended Peter Kakua and Adam Stepney, taking them back to Nanaimo where Peter was jailed. The Coroner's Inquest, the first inquiry into the cause of the deaths happened so quickly thereafter that neither the Penelakut nor the Snuneymuxw had the opportunity to bring Kakua into their own sovereign processes of justice and restitution. What authority did settlers have to pass judgement for violence committed on Penelakut bodies, on Snuneymuxw territory? Were Penelakut relatives able to come and collect the remains of Que-en and her family? Did they conduct their own mourning ceremonies? The settler narratives don't ask these questions.
Ghost stories do not mention that Kakua's defense attorney requested several documents from the Attorney General, Henry Crease, but never received them. They don't mention that the Hawaiian Consul—representing the independent Hawaiian Kingdom—requested on this Hawaiian subject's behalf that Kakua's counsel draw up a petition for commutation and mercy. The Hawaiian Consul offered evidence from a statement collected from Kakua in Hawaiian at a meeting two weeks after his trial. Peter admitted to killing his family, but he indicated there was self-defense involved because his father-in-law had come at him with an axe when Peter tried to pull him off of Que-en. The petition was ineffective.
There was never an opportunity to make such a petition for Que-en, her life cut short at the convergence of threatened Native masculinity, extractive corporate industries and a nascent settler state.
Peter Kakua was executed on the morning of March 10, 1869, making no public remarks. The year after Que-en, Squash-e-lik, Shil-at-ti-Nord, and the baby girl were killed, the Vancouver Coal Mining and Land Company began quarrying sandstone from Newcastle Island. The company had been contracted by Joseph Emery of the United States Mint in San Francisco. Much of the sandstone that was taken from Saysutshun went to the construction of monoliths to settler colonialism and settler capital, so deeply intertwined.
That same year, 1869, the Hudson's Bay Company turned most of its lands—the ancestral and unceded territories of numerous First Nations—over to the newly-formed Canadian government.
Thirty years later, in 1899, workmen of the New Vancouver Coal Company unearthed Peter Kakua's body accidentally. In just thirty years, his story had become so invisible that settler authorities undertook a physical autopsy just to figure out who they had disturbed. They eventually reburied him, but the story of "Kanaka Pete" was resurfaced and took on a new life.
While haunted by Peter and Que-en's story, I learned that Saysutshun has traditionally been used by the Snuneymuxw as a place of healing. When someone passed away in the community, loved ones would go to the island to yu'thuy'thut, to fix up their heart, mind and body; to "let go of their tears." Little did the colonists who buried Kakua know, Kānaka often buried our dead in unmarked graves at sandy shorelines.
And so, we sat between the resting place of this Kanaka, the earthy caverns emptied of coal, and the piles of discarded sandstone next to the old quarry. We walked about trying to find the best way to move amongst these skeletons, giving them due respect without stepping too boorishly or making too much noise, and yet remembering Dian Million's insight: "colonialism's strongest defense" is silence.
E Peter, e Que-en, e Squash-e-lik, e Shil-at-ti-Nord, e pē, e Stepney–
There may be no stories that can make up for the violences Kānaka inflicted or were complicit in on these lands, but our genealogies are woven together, for better and for worse. Let the protective curves of this bay hold the fullness of your stories, the complexities and colors of your emotions. Let the rotting seaweed become nourishment for new life. Let the abandoned mine shafts fill with potential energy. Let the logs cut by corporations, yet escaping capture, float into this bay and line the shore like an amphitheater for audiences of ancestors. Let us sit and tell stories that heal. Let us make spaces for the multi-generational legacies of sexual trauma that our peoples continue to carry be aired, so that no man or woman commits such harms again.

Ukrainian doctors noticed changing nature of wounds, which militaries and civilians have been getting in the Donbass. It proves the fact that pro-Russian gangs use modern weapons produced in Russia.
This statement was made by the first deputy of the Verkhovna Rada's head Irina Gerashchenko.
'They are testing the newest Russian weapons against Ukrainian militaries and civilians in the Donbass. Our doctors often have to collect the wounded bodies in dribs and drabs,' Gerashchenko said.
According to the politician, the Ukrainian side intends to achieve improvement of the humanitarian situation in the occupied towns and calls for a compromise, while the Kremlin is not changing its direction it's all about politics.
