His central role in Saddam Hussein’s capture earned Staff Sergeant Maddox a Legion of Merit, the National Intelligence Medal of Achievement, the Defense Intelligence Agency’s Director’s Award and the Bronze Star. Instead, over the course of more than 300 interrogations in the Iraqi city of Tikrit, he used his ability to talk and listen with empathy-and to influence people who had no reason to trust him. But ultimately, plunging out of planes was not how he made history. Fearless and hardworking, Maddox made jumpmaster and became a Ranger, a designation notorious for its grueling training. The fine art of verbal communication certainly wasn’t the kind of military action Maddox had envisioned when he heeded a vague sense of patriotic calling in his senior year at the University of Oklahoma and enlisted with the 82 Airborne Division. His secret weapon for helping pinpoint Hussein’s exact location was much sneakier: He used empathy. Eric Maddox, the Army interrogator connected to the Delta force pursuing Hussein, played a pivotal role in the operation-considered the biggest triumph of the Iraq War-with no trigger pulling, no drone strikes, no enhanced interrogation methods. ![]() Yet all that firepower would have been useless, had it not been for months of meticulous intelligence gathering and canny questioning. military historians, the team that apprehended Hussein boasted 600 soldiers, two dozen tanks and a company of Apache attack helicopters.

I would also recommend primo if you start an independent count or duke. I've haven't played with Patricians or Muslims yet so I can't comment on those. But one untimely death might screw you over. You'll also get a nice little demense bonus. If your whole realm is controlled by dynasty members, you'll probably be even more stable than an ideal elective monarchy. If you can pull it off though, you'll get to pick your heir, and enjoy both a +5 relations with vassals and +10 for dynasty members. Either of them combined with Jain or Buddhism which allow you to pick you heir is ideal. Ultimo is much easier to select your heir with as you can divorce your wife or set aside concubines when you've had enough children and gives you younger heirs, also works great with legitimized bastards. Primo is ok but requires tyranny if you want to be selective about your heir and high crown authority and often gives you an older heir. Otherwise even with 100 relations with electors, they might not vote for you heir but instead a correct culture high diplomacy elector. The best thing of course is to go viceroy laws immediately and hand out your smaller kingdoms as viceroyalties, while destroying those too dangerous to hand out.Įlective is fine if you keep your empire culturally homogeneous and give your heirs good diplomacy educations. After that, even if you lose your kingdoms in an election, as long as you focus on controlling the heir to the empire, the kingdoms will still be your vassals. Then you save up gold and prestige to immediately create any necessary kingdoms and your empire right away. Generally, you should stick with a single de jure kingdom until you are able to create an empire. The only thing to watch out for with Elective (aside from the previously mentioned tyranny) is creating multiple kingdoms/empires. ![]() Tanistry I can only recommend for role-playing, or if you actually don't want to put any thought into your heir. Tanistry gives you practically no way of influencing elector decisions, and if you go with that, you'll basically have to accept that you'll have no control whatsoever over who you'll play as next, in which case, you might as well go with Primo/Ultimo then you'll at least have reared your heir yourself to turn out as well as possible. Usually only the AI will have problems with Elective. It beats Primogeniture by a long shot, even with a large kingdom/empire, because as long as you are cautious about tyranny, it is very easy to keep your electors placated and make them vote for your preferred heir. After gaining just a little bit of experience with the game, you can basically never go wrong with Elective Monarchy. ![]() Perhaps neither one: When looking at the strength of the correlations, we see only very modest associations. Taken at face value, these contrasting positive and negative correlations are confusing. Our study also found negative correlations: More screen time predicted higher levels of attention problems, worse sleep, poorer academic performance and an increase in aggression and misbehavior. Parents often worry that the technology adversely impacts youngsters, particularly those entering adolescence – a critical period of development. ![]() children are spending more time on screens than ever before. Radovanovic96 via Getty Images Why it matters Many parents are concerned their children spend too much time on screens. Social screen use may drive that association video gaming, for instance, is a social activity that seems to foster more friendships. Greater amounts of screen time were associated with stronger peer relationships for both boys and girls – both have more male and female friends. Our results, recently published in the journal PLOS One, found no association between screens and a child’s depression or anxiety. We investigated how screen time was linked to some of the most critical aspects of their lives: sleep, mental health, behavior and friendships. The participants included children between the ages of 9 to 10, from diverse backgrounds, income levels and ethnicities. That’s what my colleagues and I at the University of Colorado Boulder discovered after analyzing data taken from nearly 12,000 participants in the Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development Study – the largest long-term study of its kind ever in the U.S. The big ideaĮven when kids spend five hours a day on screen – whether computers, television or text – it doesn’t appear to be harmful.

I don't know how powerful is Goku as a God, but I think that's exaggerated to think he can move a planet on pure strength. Teleporting one planet to such a close proximity to another would again cause catastrophic gravitational shifts, not to mention the almost certainty of the two planets colliding.Įven if Goku were physically capable of it, moving the planet in the way you're suggesting would be as much a danger to it as whatever threat he'd be trying to save the planet from, if not moreso. Not to mention Goku needs a ki source to lock onto, which means that almost certainly he'd be using it to reach another planet. You'd be removing it from its existing orbit around its star as well as the influence of any other planets and moons nearby, which would cause massive gravitational shifts that would almost certainly destroy the planet, or at least destroy all life on it. But the author should also have the responsibility to make sure it fits in cohesively with the other events in the narrative he has created.ĭarkprince410 wrote:Not to mention the dangers involved in using the Shunkan Idou to teleport a planet away.

If character B doesn't escape the situation in a believable way that's consistent with previous events, then that emotional investment is gone. If you have character A who's so much above character B, who's the main character, you're gonna be left wondering how in the hell character B, the character we're supposed to care and root for, is going to escape the situation or overcome the odds. People who care about them (well, people who care about them in a narrative) don't care about the big numbers or the fancy explosions.

Even though most server moderators (and other users) are often quick to patrol this kind of behavior, kids and adults should know how to recognize and deal with creeps and online predators.įortnite and Pokémon Go are two games with particularly big followings on Discord, especially for older kids and teens. The safest way to use Discord is to only accept friend requests and participate in private servers with people you already know.Īlthough it's rare, predators have targeted kids by using Discord's public servers to send direct messages (DMs). However, there's always a risk when it comes to sites and apps with open chat. With the right privacy settings and monitoring, it's easy to use Discord safely. Discord doesn't have an in-app way to search for servers unless you've already joined them, so users have to be invited directly or else find out about them from other sources. Some have bots (computer programs that mimic human interaction) that do automatic moderation, welcoming, and community management. Servers are broken up into text channels and voice channels. Servers can be private and require an invitation to join, or public, which anyone can take part in. Anyone on the app can create a server upon signup. Servers are the main communities on Discord, often focused on a single game or topic. Discord also has "NSFW" channels and servers that require users to be 18 or older to join (but it's easy to click through the verification). Common Sense Media also recommends that Discord users be at least 13 due to its open chat.īecause it's all user-generated, there's the potential for plenty of inappropriate content, like swearing and graphic language and images (though it's entirely possible to belong to a group that forbids these).

The effect of wind and water on these landscapes means that they are constantly changing. They were formed during the end of the last Ice Age when glacial meltwater created valleys and steeps slopes out of the sedimentary rock and clay soil. The Badlands are desolate terrain of gullies, chasms, sinkholes, and hills. The location of the geological wonder is very remote, in an area that has been traditionally the home of the Siska First Nation People, often known as the Blackfoot tribes. The Badlands’ Guardian is near Medicine Hat in the south-east of Alberta and not far from the border with the USA. The discovery of the dramatic and unusual geographical feature has fascinated many in Canada and beyond. This is a geological wonder that appears to represent an indigenous man’s head in profile. One of the most dramatic has only been revealed in recent years, the Badlands Guardian. Co-curated by Katarina Veljovic and Peta Rake.Canada is a large country with a great many amazing natural sights. The artist would also like to thank Dave Arsenault, Ashley Bedet, Ginger Carlson, Kurtis Denne, Areum Kim, Jeremy Pavka and Stephen Waddell. Rose, Dear is in conjunction with the 2016 Exposure Photography Festival. Walter Phillips Gallery would like to acknowledge the generous support of the Alberta Foundation for the Arts and Canada Council for the Arts. The character’s identities and purpose are largely concealed, yet the urgency in their stride and the great effort to cloak parts of the image allude to a truth just beyond the frame. The restlessness of this film speaks to a story not yet revealed, where the landscape becomes character, not just setting. The Super8 captures an orangey dawn glow a hidden figure delicately uproots cacti, creating a sinister tableau vivant words melt, but just long enough to read the double entendre, "I'll hang in the guest room" and female apparitions cross the landscape, leaving the image frame as swiftly as they entered. The clips are stretched and pulled as they traverse an unknown interior. Westman’s particular type of image-making is non-linear each scene is disrupted by folding, flattening, interruptions of the image plane. ![]() Westman’s film Rose, Dear (2016) is a series of short vignettes that are rendered through analogue techniques such as Super8 film, illustrated animation and slide-film, alongside digital footage. Inscribed in the corner of the re-photographed apparatus is a text that reads, “it smells of sage out here, like an old friend,” perhaps a nod to the wild prairie sage that grows around Wayne. ![]() ![]() ![]() However, Westman’s cucoloris is inverted instead of casting shadow on its subjects, it becomes the subject of the work itself. In the immersive, darkened half of the gallery, is a cucoloris-a device used to shape shadow and light over subjects, commonly used to create intrigue on the faces and bodies of actresses during the film noir period-encased in a lightbox. The other half is darkened, its windows aglow in streetlamp sodium-vapour orange. The first half of the gallery is lighter and displays a chromogenic photograph in its original rose-gold frame, on loan from the hotel lobby. This splitting of language is mirrored in the exhibition space, with the gallery lobby divided in two. With numerous ghost sightings reported, the hotel is rumoured to be haunted the third floor of the Rosedeer is now sealed off and its windows painted black– a frail effort to enclose unruly female spirits.Īs a gesture to these spirits of the third floor, Nicole Kelly Westman alters the name of the Rosedeer hotel, to Rose, Dear. Still functioning today as a hotel, the Rosedeer is a signifier of a community abandoned by industry. In the interior of these Badlands is the almost-deserted hamlet of Wayne, and at its centre, the Rosedeer Hotel. Deemed unsuitable for agriculture due to its moon-like topography, this rich geological area was a coalmining site during the early twentieth century. Northeast of Banff are the rugged plateaus of the Canadian Badlands of Alberta. |
