Now if we are children, then we are heirs-heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, if indeed we share in his sufferings in order that we may also share in his glory.” Romans 8:16-17 “The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God’s children.

![]() ![]() But I love the Great Lakes - so I had to be on this cruise. I went into it as something of a cruise skeptic. I wanted to find out if the Viking experience lived up to the hype - and the luxury-caliber pricing. In late July, I found my way onto Octantis' seven-day, Canada-centric "Great Lakes Explorer" cruise from Milwaukee to Thunder Bay, Ontario. Its sister ship Polaris will follow in its wake. The gleaming white, $225 million Octantis debuted in harbors from Toronto to Duluth this spring, on a string of lake-spanning itineraries. When the Norwegian-flagged cruise line announced in 2020 plans for two new expedition-class ships, purposely built for Antarctica and the Great Lakes, it promised to be a sea change for tourism on our inland seas. Submarine dives are just one way Viking is trying to thread the needle for leisure cruising and scientific exploration in Octantis' maiden season. We were now at the bottom of it - and I was glimpsing the world's largest freshwater body as very few people have. I realized that Pyritic Island far above us was merely the tip of a tall sea stack. ![]() At some 130 feet, Philip activated the thrusters and navigated to the base of a rock wall. We gently descended, ever deeper into the turquoise abyss. The pilot, Philip, relayed our location to Octantis and filled the diving tanks with water, as the sub slipped below the surface. The passengers, who had been together for the past six days on a Viking cruise of the Great Lakes, laughed nervously, remembering a casual line from the submarine safety video: "If the pilot becomes unconscious, press the green button." I eyed the green button, just below the controls. Today the waters of this big, cold lake, which are often crystal-clear, glistened with an opaque aquamarine. I took my assigned seat and gazed out the panoramic windows. One by one, we climbed on top of the sub, then down the hatch into a submerged cockpit. Six passengers from the cruise ship Viking Octantis approached on an inflatable Zodiac motorboat.

Stamos is quite a bit of fun here, essentially playing a typical 1980’s Teen Comedy hero lost in a violent low budget 1980’s Action film, and it is that dissonance that creates an added layer of enjoyment to this film. And yes, we do see Gene Simmons use his tongue, if only for one scene.Īnd while Simmons is the star of the show here, he is far from the only reason this film works. Gene Simmons here is pretty much playing Gene Simmons playing Dr. Yes, this entire thing is really this weird. ![]() Velvet also doubles as a rock star, giving glam rock inspired performances to biker gangs in fetish clubs. He is, according to the film, half man and half woman, which makes him better than the rest of us according to Gene Simmons’ character. And while the presence of several well-known performers here is great, it is Gene Simmons that really steals the show make helps make this as wonderful as it is. In many ways, this film stands as a monument to all what was wonderfully excessive and fucked up about the mid-1980’s. I mean sure John Stamos wasn’t exactly a big name then, then still mostly known for TV work, and Robert Englund is here too, just as he was establishing his Freddy Krueger persona, but how did they get George Lazenby to be in this? And the fact that there was a time when Gene Simmons was actually considered a way to dray people in to see a movie amuses me to one end. One thing that is amazing about this film is how many well-known people are in it. I know it sounds like I’m just being funny here, but that really is just how insane this film comes across. ![]() Frank-n-Furter in The Rocky Horror Picture Show who then proceeded to pop a couple mollies and then walked onto the set of another movie, a movie where part of a script to a James Bond rip off and part of a script to a Mad Max rip off were destroyed, but instead of rewriting those lost parts, the filmmakers decided to combine what was left of the two remaining scripts. The best way to describe this movie is to imagine if Gene Simmons was cast as Dr. What makes this movie so wonderful is how bonkers it is with its influences. So here is the plot, after spy Drew Stargrove (George Lazenby) is killed by the half-woman, half-man criminal overlord (the movie’s description, not mine) Velvet Von Ragner (played by Gene Simmons) his son Lance (John Stamos), who was already an amauture spy dispite having no idea what his father did, teams up with his dad’s former partner in spying Danja Deering (Vanity) to bring an end to Velvet’s criminal empire, which plans to poison the city’s water supply forever. This is one of the most gloriously over the top films I have seen from the genre, a film that tries to slam together a bunch of other genres in hopes that they all stick together and the results are truly something to behold. ![]() And folks, I was wrong because far from being a fun, if ultimately forgettable, time killer, Never too Young to Die is one of the most glorious slices of 1980’s Action movie schlock I have ever seen. Going into Never too Young to Die I expected a fun, if empty and ultimately forgettable time killer to watch before I moved onto the films I designed 1980’s Action Month around, stuff like Red Scorpion and Deadly Prey. It certainly looked interesting and quite a few people whose opinions I value liked it, but beyond that I did not know much about it and had only reasonable expectations for, but all the same it was an Action movie made in the 1980’s and it fit the bill so I added it to the list of films to watch. I stumbled upon Never too Young to Die almost by accident while searching for movies to review for the month. ![]() ![]() "cycle" means a device having any number of wheels that is propelled by human power and on which a person may ride and includes a motor assisted cycle, but does not include a human-powered wheelchair, skate board, roller skates, in-line roller skates or regulated motorized personal mobility device (b) the portion of a highway at an intersection that is included within the connection of the lateral lines of the sidewalks on the opposite sides of the highway, or within the extension of the lateral lines of the sidewalk on one side of the highway, measured from the curbs, or in the absence of curbs, from the edges of the roadway (a) a portion of the roadway at an intersection or elsewhere distinctly indicated for pedestrian crossing by signs or by lines or other markings on the surface, or "controlled access highway" means a highway designated as such under Division 3 of Part 4 of the Transportation Act "combination of vehicles" means a combination of motor vehicle and trailer or motor vehicle and trailers (b) at least 100 m collectively on both sides of that portion,Īnd includes that portion of the highway (a) at least 100 m of frontage on one side of that portion, or "business district" means the territory contiguous to a portion of a highway having a length of 200 m along which there are buildings used for business, industrial or public purposes occupying ![]() "bus lane" means a lane of a laned roadway in respect of which prescribed signs or markings indicate that the lane is reserved for the exclusive use of buses or other prescribed motor vehicles and devices ![]() Warns of a slow-moving vehicle on the track, such as a tow truck or safety car."boulevard" means the area between the curb lines, the lateral lines or the shoulder of a roadway and the adjacent property line A black flag may follow if the driver takes no heed of the warning.

This will involve an analysis of the social characteristics of the chosen areas for ph, particulate matter and soil type. Site selection and preparation will also be a crucial component of this component. They will talk to students about the project and include contributions to the project as a part of their tuition fees. Under ‘preparation’, fund solicitation will be done by the university administration. ![]() The work breakdown structure will involve four major components: preparation, seedling care, tree planting and tree care. Afterwards, the university tree planting ceremony will commence and then care of the trees will follow. Seedling plantation will be the next course of action care for the seedlings will follow. The project scope starts from financial commitment from stakeholders, then site surveillance, elimination of pollutants and site preparation. The projects effects may be felt a decade after initiation as trees take some time before they mature. The project objectives include: reversal of soil erosion that is already occurring in the area, reducing the amount of green house gases that the university has produced in the area and improving air quality in the institution’s environment. The forestry project has the greatest ranking and should, therefore, be taken on. (Refer to the appendix for a diagrammatic representation of the decision tree). Since the institution is more concerned with the positive effects of environmental compliance on the community rather than the effects of non compliance as stipulated by the government, then this project would not be very appropriate. This would fall under the ‘poor’ category. Alternatively, the university may purchase carbon credits. This would minimise the students’ commitment and involvement in them. Additionally, such projects would not generate as much sentimental value as forestry projects. However, these initiatives all require extra funding and the budgetary constraints will not allow pursuance of the same. In the ‘fair’ category, the institution can fund a renewable energy project such as a hydroelectric dam, wind farms or biomass energy. The latter approach centres on reducing carbon emissions while the former one (forestry) deals with reversal of carbon emission. One of the ‘good’ projects is increasing energy efficiency through forestry, minimisation of greenhouse gases in landfills. These options fall under three categories: good, fair and poor. The university has a variety of options to choose from with regard to the environmental conservation. ![]() Besides, there is no precise way of measuring the numerical advantages of environmental initiatives. Their value is derived from their social benefits rather than their economic ones. This method is the most appropriate because the projects under consideration are difficult to quantify monetarily ( Wysocki, 2000). The project selection model is a non numerical one kwown as the comparative benefit model through Q-sort rankings. However, this will take place after some years. Nonetheless, some of the trees can be used for commercial ventures such as timber sales. The university should implement this project as a part of its social responsibility rather than as a corporate strategy. Therefore, the advantages of this project will not be felt immediately, and may not necessarily be monetary. This project will provide a great ecological value to the university because it will nurture various organisms on the trees, and will even minimise the existence of green house gases in this environment. The institution will also become a better place for studying because it will possess less heat intensity after sunlight deflections by the trees. Additionally, they will minimise noise pollution environmental agencies acknowledge the role of trees as sound absorbers. They will improve the aesthetics in the area as they will frame the landscapes. Trees are the best option for this body because they will bring pride to the university town. It is the responsibility of the members of this university to give back to their community by adding a natural element to the urban settings in their area. As a result, the roads, buildings and economic activities that go on in this community are geared towards serving campus residents. Additionally, the university is a vital part if its community. The institution is facing the danger of erosion consequently, something must be done to prevent this occurrence. The rationale behind this project is to preserve the university environment. ![]() ![]() ![]() Get your Ventra Card today and load passes at any Ventra Vending Machine, Ventra Retailer or at.

![]() At one point I had pushed forward into a swarm of enemies thinking my teammates were right behind me, but after being chased away in a hail of gunfire I realized all three of them were stuck trying to take down a single Promethean. I would usually find myself far ahead of the pack. ![]() They aren't particularly great combatants either, since they seem to prioritize clearing an area over sticking close to you or finding a good angle. They all just run towards you like an excited puppy chasing a ball into traffic. would mark the closest ally to act as medic as the others lay down cover fire, but no. If you go down, they don't seem to realize your death is a fail-state: they'll come revive you if you're conveniently close, but otherwise they're happy to let you bleed out. You can instead order them to come revive you, in which case all three of them will run directly into oncoming gunfire and fall like dominoes. Halo's combat puzzle loop has always led to lots of deaths as you figure out your approach, and the ability to revive teammates means you have a little more flexibility if something goes wrong. However, your teammates oscillate wildly between situational blindness and overenthusiasm. These Spartans-the best of the best of the UNSC military-are idiots. This was my single biggest frustration with Halo 5, and one that came up repeatedly throughout: your bot co-op teammates are only occasionally helpful, and more often act as useless liabilities. This means you can play through the entire campaign without ever going online, but you probably shouldn't. If you play without a band of friends to make up your fireteam, you'll still have three teammates following in the form of A.I. The size of the maps, the scale and greater number of enemies, and even an increased focus on targets that require flanking, make for a Halo game that is very much built around group encounters. This is a squad-based shooter first and foremost, and it's clear that everything is built around that. It's the focus on the squads itself that makes Guardians feel so different. Though Master Chief is canonically the more experienced Spartan, and Locke's history is in stealth and assassinations, the pair play identically, aside from some visual cues like animations and the visor overlay. The two squads-Master Chief's Blue Team and Locke's Fireteam Osiris-don't actually show very much differentiation. As it reached its climax, there was even a moment that was genuinely chilling. I felt a stake in the plot because I understood where everyone was coming from. ![]() Still, the performances carry it through and give everything that follows a more personal feeling. It feels like 343 rushed the premise to get to the conflict. Buck, played by Nathan Fillion, puts in an especially human performance in this regard.Īll of this happens fairly early, and the decisions are made so quickly that they could have hit with more weight. Locke's Fireteam Osiris feels conflicted about targeting the legendary Master Chief at all. Blue Team has just enough banter to justify their decision to go along with him, out of respect if not genuine concern for their surrogate brother. Master Chief's decision to go AWOL is motivated by his care for Cortana, a relationship that has been built slowly over the course of four games. Halo 5: Guardians addresses this head-on by putting the focus on individuals and relationships. I've been critical of the story in Halo games, mostly because its generous dollops of space-magic and lore has overshadowed its characters. 343 has finally claimed authorship with its own clear vision of where to take the series. All this is to say Halo 5: Guardians still had a lot to prove about the franchise's new caretakers, and I was pleased to find it succeeds with aplomb. The Master Chief Collection was a great anthology of Halo campaigns, stymied by buggy multiplayer that took months to fix. ![]() Halo 4 was a decent hand-off that we classified as stage-setting, but it wasn't an unqualified hit. 343 Industries' ownership of the Halo franchise has been inconsistent. ![]() |
