Dirty bomb messages8/18/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() This program has been effective, keeping incidents to a minimum and their consequences low. The NRC and its Agreement States have in place a multi-layered, comprehensive security program to protect these sources. The vast majority of these materials would not be useful in an RDD. ![]() The NRC together with its Agreement States, which also regulate radioactive material, administer more than 22,000 licenses of such materials. These radioactive materials are used for such purposes as diagnosing and treating illnesses, sterilizing equipment, and inspecting welding seams. Radioactive materials are routinely used at hospitals, research facilities, industrial and construction sites. Shielding from external exposure and inhaling radioactive material.Maximizing the distance from the source of radiation and.Minimizing the time exposed to radioactive materials.In general, protection from radiation is afforded by: In other words, the higher the radiation dose, the higher the risk and severity of injury. The health effects of radiation tend to be directly proportional to radiation dose. The means of exposure – external or internal (absorbed by the skin, inhaled or ingested) and.The distance from the source of radiation to an individual.The type of radiation (gamma, beta, or alpha).The amount of radiation absorbed by the body.The effects of radiation exposure would be determined by: Immediate health effects from exposure to the low radiation levels expected from an RDD would likely be minimal. Subsequent decontamination of the affected area may involve considerable time and expense. Radiation can be readily detected with equipment already carried by many emergency responders. Prompt detection of the type of radioactive material used will greatly assist local authorities in advising the community on protective measures, such as sheltering in place or quickly leaving the immediate area. As radioactive material spreads, it becomes less concentrated and less harmful. Those closest to the RDD would be the most likely to be injured by the explosion. The extent of local contamination would depend on a number of factors, including the size of the explosive, the amount and type of radioactive material used, the means of dispersal, and weather conditions. A dirty bomb is not a "weapon of mass destruction" but a "weapon of mass disruption," where contamination and anxiety are the major objectives. The cloud of radiation from a nuclear bomb could spread thousands of square miles, whereas a dirty bomb’s radiation could be dispersed within a few blocks or miles of the explosion. A nuclear bomb creates an explosion that is millions of times more powerful than a dirty bomb. However, an RDD explosion could create fear and panic, contaminate property and require potentially costly cleanup.Ī dirty bomb is not a nuclear bomb. Most RDDs would not release enough radiation to kill people or cause severe illness – the conventional explosive itself would be more harmful to people than the radioactive material. The terms dirty bomb and RDD are often used interchangeably. A "dirty bomb" is a type of "radiological dispersal device" that combines a conventional explosive, such as dynamite, with radioactive material. ![]()

Trump nytimes today8/18/2023 ![]() ![]() The Post’s editorial page, which wrote last month that “we need a fresh start” with “a new crop of conservatives,” went further in its editorial after Thursday’s prime time hearing. Instead of making excuses or changing the subject, as some conservative commentators have done, the Journal’s editorial said Trump “failed” to do his duty as commander in chief. ![]() The most horrifying to date came Thursday in a hearing on President Trump’s conduct as the riot raged and he sat watching TV, posting inflammatory tweets and refusing to send help.” 6 special committee, the facts it is laying out in hearings are sobering. While the editorial writers have remained skeptical of the House committee and critical of the lack of witness cross-examination, they wrote the following on Friday, after the second prime time hearing: “No matter your views of the Jan. ![]() (Photo by Drew Angerer/Getty Images) Drew Angerer/Getty ImagesĪnalysis: Trump's election lie becomes a big problem for MAGA MediaĪfter the House committee’s first prime time hearing last month, the Journal’s editorial board said the evidence was a reminder that “Trump betrayed his supporters.” Every July, some of the world's most wealthy and powerful businesspeople from the media, finance, technology and political spheres converge at the Sun Valley Resort for the exclusive weeklong conference. SUN VALLEY, ID - JULY 10: Rupert Murdoch, chairman of News Corp and co-chairman of 21st Century Fox, arrives at the Sun Valley Resort of the annual Allen & Company Sun Valley Conference, Jin Sun Valley, Idaho. Trump has continued to spread lies about the 2020 election and undermine the House’s investigation into the January 6 insurrection. If Murdoch was trying to give Trump advice, it didn’t work. Murdoch said last fall that conservatives must play an active role in the American political debate, “but that will not happen if President Trump stays focused on the past.” Potential 2024 presidential candidate Ron DeSantis, the Florida governor, was a featured guest on Fox while Trump held a rally on Friday night.īoth the Post and Journal have conservative editorial boards that are thought to reflect Murdoch’s views. The right-wing network does not show his rallies any longer, for example. Trump utterly failed his,” the Journal editorial stated.īoth newspapers have been noticeably more critical of Trump than Murdoch’s biggest megaphone of all, the Fox News Channel, though close viewers have also picked up on some signs that Fox might be souring on Trump. “Character is revealed in a crisis, and Mr. 6” and praised Vice President Mike Pence. The Journal called him “ The President Who Stood Still on Jan.

La traffic los angeles8/18/2023 ![]() ![]() There's few neighborhoods in LA where you can reasonably get around without owning a car unless you want most of your day spent walking, biking, or waiting on a bus just to get to and from one destination.Įven if you live in one of these neighborhoods, it's still dangerous as hell because people are irritated at pedestrians for getting in the way of their drive or taking too long at crosswalks. On top of this, there's not enough protected bike lanes to make biking to work feasible. I've seen too much broken glass in the middle of intersections and wrecked cars being scraped off of crosswalks at intersections to reasonably expect that LA gives a flying fuck about making their cities walkable/bikeable. Even if you are able to get close to your job where you can walk or bike, it's fucking dangerous because of the shit city design. It's too expensive to live close to your job, so you can at least take a bus, walk, or bike. WalMart closed about 200 stores that were not ”super store” locations, and Tesco filed for bankruptcyon FnE and closed all FnE stores ‘coz they rolled out too many stores at one time. ![]() Both stores closed due to corporate decisions to close multiple stores nationally. Note: For people who are unaware, both WalMart and the FnE grocery that were located off of Promenade were small but profitable locations and workers at the locations were surprised by the closures. For some time now, we’ve had no big box stores located in DTLB - and that’s true even though we have ample parking in structures and a community filled with disabled and seniors who only commute via public transportation. Currently, the closest Target to DTLB is nearly 40 minutes each way by bus. ![]() When Fresh and Easy closed, I contacted Target again, and that time I told them about the location where they could now have a Target located directly across from a separate 24hr Target grocery if they wanted to try that. When WalMart closed (about a decade ago), I contacted Target corporate in New York to tell them about the open location as an anchor store walking distance from a full parking structure. Without city gov’s stepping in and demanding diversification, developers can kill local communites. All of SoCal suffers from our high real estate values driving certain types of development. What’s really going on in a lot of places is that local politicans are cashing in politically on public perception of them “addressing the housing crisis” by allowing larger residential developments while at the same time they’re profiting (often both politically and fiscally) off relationships with developers who are making bank by only building rental housing which gives them their highest ROI. For apartments, they need at least 1 1/2 covered spaces for residents plus any complex w/ more than 10 units also has to provide 1 on-site guest spot for every 4 units. Meanwhile, all newly built housing, regardless of size, is required to have some off-street on-site parking included. In DTLB, that means they can use dedicated access to existing parking structures (any business in a commercial complex can just provide free structure access as well - the Cinemark at The Pike does this). county, commercial developments up to 750 ft² are allowed to provide by-right off-site parking rather than dedicated on-site. In fact, it can be easier to provide parking to small retail locations. For example, the Vons located at Broadway and Atlantic was fully renovated to update the store - and Vons Albertson’s is actually contracted to be leasing that location for at least the next decade! The developers aren’t even building condos for sale, and they aren’t selling unoccupied property to businesses who have long term occupation intent. In congested Long Beach, almost all new building is community rental housing. Usually they involve drinking heavily, but sometimes we get more creative.

Paperio 3 unblocked8/18/2023 ![]() ![]() One of the things we've been trained to do in games is fill those percentage bars to 100% to 'complete' whatever task it was asking us to do. It's displayed as a percentage on purpose. This is achieved by completing certain stat based challenges within the core game like getting 75% of the arena space or killing 25 players in a single round. The only metagame is unlocking new skins. If you could see the entire playfield at all times, then winning becomes much easier. This limited field of view is what makes this game so difficult. Someone then comes into my field of view and I realize there is no way for me to make it back. This might be obvious, but my deaths always come from going out too far. Just be careful of a new bot spawning in. This is because you know other bots are not likely to be there. This is the best time to take a risk and capture the space. When you kill a bot, their territory disappears. Take enemies space directly after killing them Then, once they are a distance farther from their own territory than you are to their trail, you can strike with high certainty to kill them.ģ. It's pretty easy to chill in your territory and watch a bot until they leave their space. You also can't die by hitting the walls (unlike Paper.io 1).Ģ. You put yourself up against a wall instead of being surrounded by the bots. The edge of the arena is the safest place since there are no enemies there. So knowing what we know about the AI, we can come up with some strategies to get the most area possible. And guess what, there is no pause button! Strategy My high score of 48% took about 10 minutes. At a minimum, you would have to be very conservative when taking territory which would end up in a very long play session. However, I think it would take a long, long time to achieve 100% due to the difficulty curve. Getting to 20% or even 40% has not been too difficult. But it's the only other major way the game could scale difficulty. I could be over analyzing this and I don't actually have any data to back that claim up. The life of one individual bot doesn't matter much. If you kill an aggressive bot, the game just spawns another in it's place. ![]() In order to increase the difficulty, the bots just need to be more aggressive toward the player, attacking you whenever you leave the safety of your own territory. The bots are tasked with taking space and killing you or the other bots. The other way the game could manage difficulty is the AI of the individual bots. This balance of space to bot count could be managed itself by AI, potentially decreasing the amount of bots as space becomes cramped. Towards the end of the game, any free space would get used to spawn another bot, creating a hectic situation. ![]() We will review it and get back to you as soon as possible.This is one of the ways the game gets more difficult. ![]() Your playing experience is our top priority, so if there is any request or suggestions, please contact us through.

Swat 4 mod shows as trojan8/18/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() campaign consisting of all original SWAT4 and The Stetchkov Syndicate missions random missions generated on each game launch (accessible as quick missions in a "Random" mission pack) You will have the same random missions as generated earlier and their scores will not be reset. If you previously launched it via SW4.exe, If you want to, you can launch the game in the usual fashion. You simply need to launch the SWAT4 Infinite.exe file! This mod uses its own files in all cases where modifications to original game content was required. The Stetchkov Syndicate expansion pack with the Infinite mod will be added to your game's "Other" menu.ĭon't do this if you've modified the info file, or your modifications will be lost, but if you modified it, To your main SWAT 4 directory along with the SW4 Infinite.exe. OPTIONAL: If you play SWAT 4 via GOG Galaxy, you can also paste the included "" file Note that the mod requires The Stetchkov Syndicate installed, but everyone probably has it at this point. Place the "ContentExpansion" folder and the "SW4 Infinite.exe" file in your main SWAT 4 directory (NOT Content/System or ContentExpansion/System!). Here is the link and I'll post the contents of the readme file in another post. !DpElXaaY!CzBeDbZTI6PAV_esnSidn6z9HHsZjXzUOCLqc6sqKWM ![]() The good news is, I expanded it to create a bigger mod, which I called SWAT 4 Infinite, as unoriginal as that name is.Įven if you're not interested in any of its other features, you can simply generate the mission pack by launching the game with the mod, then copy it to your unmodded game directory. The bad news is, I don't think I have the mod in its original form anywhere on my PC. W3ZZ: The MEGA link is dead, could you possibly re-upload the mod? This sounds really cool but I can't find it anywhere else. The mod includes a readme file with details, a Galaxy INFO file for those who want the option to launch the game with the Random Missions Mod added to their Galaxy game menu, as well as a backup Galaxy INFO file in case you want to uninstall the mod or something. The file has no viruses whatsoever (though this is EXACTLY what I'd say if it had a virus) and it should be impossible for it to do any harm to your game or computer, but just to be on the safe side, I don't take any responsibility for anything at all. I don't feel like uploading the mod to ModDB and I haven't found any dedicated SWAT 4 modding sites, so I am just uploading it to my MEGA drive for now. They should also work just fine on multiplayer.Īs a side feature, launching the game via the included launcher will skip the intro, just like the -nointro command line argument. You can then play them by choosing the "Play quick missions" option and selecting the "Random" mission pack. Whenever you launch The Stechkov Syndicate expansion pack (via an included launcher), a package of 10 randomly generated missions of varying difficulty will be created (and replace any previous such package) and random mission scores will be reset (don't worry though, all other missions, both campaigns and quick missions, are safe). !PlVlBaaK!3ZeUCIeyBSD-OjGxmMZZYtmejvN83U6GSDP6Lve_HAE While the maps, of course, can't be randomly generated (only randomly selected), it still provides a large variety of missions to play with no need of creating them yourself (and thus knowing what to expect most of the time). Too bad that the SSF devs are gone and that the Remake dev does not allow to mod his mod for public, otherwise i would try to port the AI from SSF to the remake mod.Inspired by Door Kickers' random mission generation, I've decided to utilize the quick mission system offered by SWAT 4 to accomplish something similar. This mod uses vanilla AI system, so AI wont act like in the SAS or SSF mod. *All suspect's weapons like MP5sd or Scorpion are now available to use *New spawn points for suspects and hostages *Some maps offers advantage using cameras *New 3d models and Skins for the officers, suspects and hostages Bluedrake42 has also uploaded the game on his site, not sure if its with expansion and patched to latest version though. If you dont have it, you can find the download of the full game with expansion patched to latest version on various sites. You need SWAT 4 + Expansion (TSS) Patched to latest version. ![]()

Several adverse outcomes have been reported following acute exposure to high levels of carbon monoxide during pregnancy. Epidemiological studies have linked rises in ambient air carbon monoxide and cardiovascular endpoints. Neurophysiological symptoms including anxiety, psychomotor dysfunction, loss of balance and changes in sleep, memory, vision and smell have also been reported. Like acute poisoning, chronic carbon monoxide exposure can result in non-specific symptoms (headache, lethargy, syncope, nausea and flu-like symptoms), which may be misdiagnosed. No significant adverse health effects have been reliably demonstrated in the literature where carbon monoxide exposure resulted in carboxyhaemoglobin levels of below 6% in healthy individuals.Ī carboxyhaemoglobin level of 30% indicates severe exposure, however significant poisoning effects cannot be excluded at lower concentrations. Following an acute exposure, neuropsychiatric features may develop in some individuals these have been observed up to 40 days after initial exposure.īlood carboxyhaemoglobin levels are not a reliable indicator of poisoning severity or clinical outcome. The cardiovascular system and the central nervous system ( CNS) are the most sensitive target organs for carbon monoxide toxicity. Severe symptoms include confusion, myocardial infarction, respiratory failure, loss of consciousness and death. The most common symptoms following acute exposure are headache, nausea and vomiting, vertigo, alteration in consciousness and subjective weakness. The signs and symptoms of carbon monoxide exposure are often non-specific, therefore poisoning can be difficult to diagnose. Health effects of chronic exposureĬhronic exposure to low concentrations of carbon monoxide may lead to lethargy, headaches, nausea, flu-like symptoms and neuropsychological and cardiovascular issues.Īdverse outcomes including fetal and neonatal death, congenital malformations and neurological effects have been reported following acute exposure to high levels of carbon monoxide during pregnancy.
