![]() I also happen to be an Army Veteran and one of the things often commented on was the difference between a lieutenant who went straight through basic training and into officer candidate school and a lieutenant who went through officer candidate school after having come up through the ranks and spent some time as an NCO first. You know – it is funny how these things carry over to multiple areas. Likewise, I feel the title – “Adobe Certified Professional” – carries with it a sense of fluency and expertise that some online curriculum and a couple days of training simply cannot create.īut hey… some companies value that piece of paper over demonstrated talent and it may very well get you in the door – but will it keep you in the building? Simple ownership of that document, in my view, has failed to provide compelling evidence of competency in those areas. ![]() Captivate empowers you to create responsive, interactive eLearning and mLearning including demonstrations, simulations, scenario-based training, interactive tutorials and quizzes, all without the need for programming. Unfortunately, over the years, I have learned that is something I cannot expect. Adobe Captivate is regarded as the industry standard for delivering eLearning project. It seems to me that if you have one – I should be able to expect that you can read, spell, write in complete sentences, and perform relatively basic math. I feel the same way about a high school diploma in the United States. ![]() In other words – I am more interested in your samples than your credentials. Generically speaking – my view is that certifications have little value unless you have the “goods” to back them up. Firstly – Let me say that I am not a recruiter, but I have been involved in several interviews as part of a hiring team across multiple companies.

![]() If the author ever writes another book, I hope he hires a new editor. I know this may seem petty, but the author should have written this chronologically correct. How could someone who served in the military not know this?ģ)The discussion is regarding how father and son amassed their fortunes in the Vietnam War and the Cold War. Coastie, who was in the Coast Guard, says: "What's a VMI?" I have never served in the military, and I knew immediately that VMI was Virginia Military Institute. However, the author has Coastie say this: "How will I recognize them?" WHAT? She is sitting at the same table with someone who knows them!!! Why would she even be concerned with recognition?Ģ)The discussion regards a character who attended VMI. Swanson knows both these characters VERY WELL. Here are a few examples:ġ)Swanson and Coastie are sitting together, awaiting the arrival of Janna and Lucky. However, the author was very sloppy in this last book. If the author has indeed retired Swanson, then he did it in a good way. If this is the last in this series, that would be great-in the sense that an author would "retire" his character before he/she becomes too tiresome and the stories become way too silly and desperate. A fantastic series that is well worth a read. There is no doubt that this is going to be a very dangerous manhunt, for someone that is very good at killing people himself. Not one for taking on a partner, Kyle is asked to allow CIA Agent Luke Gibson to join him in the hunt for Marks. Agent Nicky Marks has probably picked the wrong man to cross, but he is no slouch in the skills department himself. Kyle isn’t about to let the perpetrator get away, and it doesn’t take him long to work out that the man responsible is a rogue CIA agent. The real smack in the face is when someone targets her husband’s funeral, in such a violent way. However, they didn’t need to ask him this time when his good friend Beth ‘Coastie’ Ledford’s husband is killed. This story moves along at a good pace, and it certainly held my interest all the way through.Įven though Kyle Swanson has retired from the Marine Corps and joined the private sector, he still gets to use his skills occasionally when the CIA come calling. However, he’s a not someone to be messed with, and if you’ve been selected as his target, then you’re as good as dead. Besides being an incredible marksman, he has such a quiet and easy-going nature. This is the 10th book in the series and I’ve really enjoyed everyone of them. Kyle Swanson, at the worst possible moment in a combat showdown, must decide: Do you trust your partner, and if so, which one?īrilliant, I loved it. Swanson also lines up a secret partner, the beautiful widow of his friend whose grave was desecrated in Mexico, the sharpshooting former commando Beth Ledford, who has her own agenda of pure retribution. That takes them from the pink poppy fields of Afghanistan to the jungles of Southeast Asia and the streets of America as they learn that the Prince is the ruthless kingpin of a global drug empire that uses CIA planes to transport opium and heroin. But before Kyle and Luke can eliminate the threat, they must identify and find the man who wants them dead. ![]() They are looking for assassin Nicky Marks, who also was a CIA shooter but now works for a shadowy power broker known as The Prince. Swanson is assigned to find the root of the problem and is partnered up with Luke Gibson, a skilled operative rated as being almost as good as Swanson. In Washington, Congress is being told that Swanson has been turned, his private employer is corrupt, and the Agency itself cannot be trusted. A week later, he narrowly survives a grenade attack in Berlin. The highly decorated former Marine Corps gunnery sergeant is attending the funeral of a friend when a terrorist blows up the grave. The Central Intelligence Agency is under attack, and so is its top field operative, Kyle Swanson. The environment frequently sounds too quiet if you're used to the older version of the game. Again, they sound more "realistic," but it means that Rapture is no longer quite the lurching monster with old records spewing out of it that it once was. Voices are now a little more distant, mixed more like they're coming from a real radio in the environment and less like they're blasting directly into your head. This is more "realistic," but it also makes them less intelligible to the player, especially if you're fighting enemies at the time.Ĭombat sounds still come through loud and clear, but environmental ambience and music are reduced in the mix. All of the audio is still there, and it all still pans correctly around.but the dynamics are all different. ![]() When voices come in over the radio or audio logs, they're front and center, crisp and detailed over the top of the environment. And in the original mix, this all comes through loud and clear, helping to give Rapture an intense audio vibe that's almost oppressive, in a good way. ![]() However, in the case of Bioshock, it was key to the mix.īioshock's soundscape is rich with detail, environmental audio, diagetic music tracks, and background noises. Most audiophiles don't love dynamic compression, because they feel it lessens the overall quality and excitement of audio. There's lots of cool sounds in there, but they all play at more or less the same intense volume unless they're very far away from the player. The original Bioshock has a very deeply layered, though generally dynamically-compressed sound mix. Which I'm less excited about, as a weird sound person. They're not so much better or worse, as they are entirely different. It seems like a lot of work to relight and shade several scenes, and change up the use of specular mapping, but they did it. The lighting and shading changes were more controversial when the remaster launched two years ago. The original game doesn't hold up as well in that department. In many cases, the new assets perfectly recapture the original artwork, but drawn/rendered at dramatically higher resolution, so you can jam your face right into the textures on a modern TV and not worry about it looking bad. I revisited the original 360 version of the game thanks to the Xbox One Backwards Compatibility program, and I could definitely see how people having a meeting at 2K Games would look at those textures and go "I guess.I guess we have to pay to have these assets remade." The visual overhaul of the game is great, and super obvious in a side-by-side comparison. I just wrote an article gushing about Bioshock Remastered, and I still stand behind it.

Tiny PNG is one of the best image compressors I have ever used. Online Image Compressor & Optimizer Tools : TINY PNG Which image compression & optimizer tool is the best, you may wonder? In this article, we try to answer this question. On the internet, there are several image compression and optimizer software. Undoubtedly, a smaller-sized image speeds up the loading of your website more than a larger-sized one. Before submitting any images to your website, you must compress them completely for faster page loading. Here, the question may arise, How to make your sites load faster? I want to be very clear before I respond to this question that the photos you use on your websites without compressing are what causes your site to load slowly. For WordPress users there are lots of online Image Compressor Tools or Plugins in, you can use the plugins to make your sites load your sites faster. But not everyone uses WordPress some of our blogs are on different websites like Tumblr, Blogspot, or elsewhere. Slow loading sites make your visitor frustrated and they never want to visit your sites again. If you are the owner of any website, you must leave a positive first impression on your visitors to encourage frequent visits. Slow-loading websites irritate users and make them want to never return. The phrase "The First Impression Is The Last Impression" is well-known to all of us. This is true. ![]() He then goes on to re-emphasise that players are free to develop their own character's backstory via role-playing if they wish. It's also one of the factions that players can ally with to access the Rogue's three class-exclusive Specialisations, though they won't need to play a female character to do so. ![]() However, he understood why the question was brought forward, and he justified it by sharing about how the Sisterhood of the Sightless Eye is conventionally a female-exclusive group lore-wise. So Rogues are canonically only women. Does that mean we'll have two classes that are locked to one gender, the other being Druid?Īccording to Barriga, the short answer here is no - players will have full customisation options, meaning no character class is gender-locked.

Let's be honest here - between the announcement of enhanced old-time favourites like Diablo 2 Resurrected, to teasers and updates for new entries like Diablo Immortal and Diablo 4, it's no exaggeration to say that the Lords of Hell really took center stage this year, although the Diablo fans probably wouldn't have it any other way. Sure, it's a bummer that no concrete release dates were revealed for any of the above titles, but having a buttload of new information means that people will have a buttload of questions to ask as well.Įarlier this morning, the franchise's executive producer Rod Fergusson sat down with the three respective game leads, namely Luis Barriga (Game Director, Diablo 4), Wyatt Cheng (Lead Game Designer, Diablo Immortal), and Rob Gallerani (Principal Designer, Diablo 2: Resurrected) - to answer some of these burning queries, and let's just say the discussion led to some really funny interactions at times.

Verb In an equally theatrical display last week, Sanderson’s lawyers tried to rope Paltrow into a reenactment of events to poke holes in her claim that Sanderson ran into her from behind - yet ended up on top when the two plummeted to the ground. 2023 Her body was inside a sack that was tied at the top with white cotton rope, officials said. 2023 The nightstand is a mariner’s chest with rope handles from an antiques store in Maine. 2023 Industrial techno blared through the speakers as singer-songwriter and fashion muse Eartheater shuffled-or rather, waddled-out in a barely-there maxi dress held together with industrial rope.

God has warned and commanded his children not to love and worship idols or false gods made by the minds and hands of men. The Ten Commandments were not given for the lower animals but for man, given for those who are in the image and likeness of God, but some pay little more attention to them than do some of the lower animals. It has no use for the commandments of the Lord. We have a peacock that is as colorful and beautiful as almost any creation. Lower animals do not know or teach the Ten Commandments. This afternoon I am going to read and briefly comment on the Ten Commandments of the Lord. The Lord personally gave commandments that would help mankind to grow and develop his Godlike attributes. Man’s mortal creation and birth are living evidence of divine power, and man is left without excuse. God also said that he created man from the dust of the ground. 1:26–27.)Įvery child should be taught by his parents that he is a child of God and in the image and likeness of God. “So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him male and female created he them.” ( Gen. ![]() “And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness. … I like to reflect on the following passage of scripture: There is no knowledge as important as knowledge revealed to man from God. We fall more in love with Christ the more God’s Word is implanted in us.My dear brothers and sisters: There is great responsibility that goes with being a Latter-day Saint. We keep the commands by having our minds renewed as we hear the Word of God taught (2 Cor 3:18 Rom 12:2). So, while it is helpful to know what the commands are, we must avoid thinking we can keep the commands by strength of our wills or by focusing on them. We know from Romans 7 that a fixation on the commandments results in more sin, not less. Of course, the way in which we keep these, and all other commands, is by falling more and more in love with the Lord Jesus Christ. If a believer does not know that adultery is wrong-and sadly, many young people grow up thinking that any and all sexual practices between consenting adults are comparable to playing tennis and are morally neutral- then he may ruin marriages and incur temporal judgment without even realizing that what he is doing is wrong. While we are not to focus on the commands, it is vital that we know what God commands us to do and what He commands us not to do. We are to avoid murder, adultery, theft, lying, and coveting. ![]() We are to honor the name of the Lord God and to honor our mothers and fathers. We are not under that command.īut we are to have no other gods. The only one not given in the New Testament is the fourth command, honor the Sabbath day and keep it holy. That is, nine of the ten are part of what is called the royal law, the law of Christ, and the law of liberty. Why memorize the T en C ommandments? Aren’t we free from the Law of Moses? While it is true that we are no longer under the Law, it is also true that nine of the T en C ommandments are repeated in the New Testament. Therefore, the order is do not murder, do not commit adultery, do not steal, do not bear false witness, and do not covet. That is, these five are in descending order in terms of how physical they are. The final five deal with sinful actions to avoid, starting with the worst. ![]() (Some might remember that as three nos and two honors, since the third commandment refers to not taking that Lord’s name in vain, which is the same as honoring the name of the Lord.)įive.
