That is all.The game uses the Odyssey Engine, which was originally used in Knights of the Old Republic. If you cannot resist the lure of the dark side however, well then you must see the truth for yourself and feel the pain of its sting. This is an inferior product and will undoubtedly soil your view of KOTOR as a whole. But do not do so hoping to receive the same blessings conferred by its predecessor. I would say it is not an unforgivable sin if you played the sequel in light of all I said. That said, are you a huge fan of KOTOR 1? Are you wondering about playing the sequel? Is KOTOR II: The Sith Lords worth your time? Well. In light of all I've said I must give this a 4/10, as much as it pains me to do so, not because the gameplay is bad, but because the story is so crushingly disappointing. I cannot wholly condemn it for its few qualities, but there is no way I can give this a favorable score either. It's such a poor enactment or lack of proper storytelling that I must pass my judgment on this game. A backstabbing of *roll-credits* after the most rushed and fairly predictable ending. And I apologize if this is a spoiler, but I have to point attention to the fact that there was no confrontation between Visas and Kreia at the end, no real redemption arc or defining moment of truth which was hinted at prior in the story, and no end sequence where you get to converse with your companions about the outcome of events and the future. In the end, this title reveals itself as half-baked and rushed in the narrative department, and ultimately leads to a bitter and hollow end, literally severing the plot points that made characters like Visas interesting. Some however do hold significance to the Exile and can be interesting at times, although a majority of them didn't need to be companions at all, as Kreia so keenly points out in the game herself, comically enough. I'd like to say a couple things about the companions as well, many of whom seem superfluous, especially in light of the fact that they aren't given any real closure or depth. For all these new do-das however, it cannot carry the burden of its core failures, which become most evident about half-way through the game. Swoop racing is also given a bump in difficulty, however, for some reason it doesn't feel as impactful as it did in KOTOR 1, like it's just marking a checkbox. Combat is still fun and you will get your traditional dose of KOTOR action as before. Some dialogue is good, great at times even, and there are some very nice additions to the gameplay like saber styles and a nice crafting system. Now, to its credit, it does manage to achieve some modicum of charm in certain parts of the story. Characters are wasted (good characters mind you) some you never hear from again, and you are left with a feeling of sheer violation by the end that may cause you to question why you spent at least 40 hours of your life on essentially a 'nothingburger' of a game. The story starts off well enough with some interesting characters and plot threads, but what it does well in the beginning increasingly gives way to overly swift and illogical execution, shoehorned and copy-pasted companions, and a general lack explanation, development, and closure overall, especially with the final act. Even though I was inspired by KOTOR 1, with its grand storytelling and very nicely timed sequences and fun characters, I found the sequel severely lacking in all the areas that should matter or need to matter. Even though I was After finishing this bitter-sweet title, I knew I simply had to write a review on it, despite the fact that it's quite aged.

The bill was defeated by one vote, but the circus has NOT returned to Honolulu since Tyke’s death. The citizens of Honolulu were so outraged that they petitioned for a bill to be passed banning wild performing animals from Hawaii. As were the images of children standing on the side of the road at Tyke’s makeshift grave with signs reading “Circuses are no fun for animals” made me break in to what Oprah affectionately calls “the ugly cry”. Watching the footage of this event was heartbreaking for me and brought me to tears as I watched this beautiful animal be taken out like a scene from a Los Angeles car chase gone wrong. Tyke’s running away was probably the most natural thing she had done since being taken into captivity. All warnings were ignored and on Augin Honolulu, Tyke was shot 87 times all over her body after killing Campbell and running down the streets of Hawaii. With Tyke, there were two incidents that occurred in North Dakota and Altoona, PA before arriving in Hawaii were the Hawthorn Corporation and Allen Campbell had been warned that Tyke’s unpredictable behavior may have resulted in tragedy. They are VERY patient and have VERY long memory banks. However, their temper is little more fiery than their Asian counterparts, who are known to wait for years to kill you if they see fit. African elephants are apparently very bright, intelligent and will remember you forever for good or bad. Not to mention the fact that she was an African elephant. Their method of “heavy-handed” and “aggressive” training were speculated to contribute to Tyke’s ultimate acting out. The Hawthorn Corporation was also allegedly known for chaining their elephants for up to 22 hours a day and only released for rehearsal and performances. A corporation known to be the largest owner of wild performing animals in the United States and for leasing their trainers and animals to circuses around the world for performances. There were only two trainers in history that could contain her, Tyrone Taylor and Allen Campbell – who would lose his life in front of hundreds of circus spectators in Honolulu.Ĭampbell and Taylor were employees of the Hawthorn Corporation. She was strong-willed and had a very long memory. That baby elephant was Tyke and it was evident early on that she was no ordinary circus elephant. In 1973, a baby elephant was captured in the wilds of Mozambique, shipped to the United States and trained for the circus. Now, in 2015 producers Susan Lambert and Stefan Moore are shedding the light on the circus world and how their mistreatment and mishandling of captivated elephants resulted in the untimely demise of one of their own…Tyke: Elephant Outlaw. It chronicled and shed light on how the great white whales were kept and mistreated…ultimately resulting in the death of one of their most beloved trainers. In my opinion, there is something about the concept that is inhumane and unnatural.Ī few years back, the Sea World corporation was under attack after an Oscar-nominated documentary was released called “Blackfish”. No animal…human or otherwise likes being in captivity. So, to some degree, I can imagine what Tyke must have been feeling the day she took off running down the streets of Honolulu in August of 1994. I used to joke that one day I would jump out of my elephant leg like that one black person trapped on the Titanic trying to get to a lifeboat! The reality was it was very heavy, cumbersome and would often times be off balanced. To the audience, it looks like this majestic, paper elephant gliding down the aisle onto the stage. As a cast member of THE LION KING, I was one of four people who carried a puppeted elephant for the opening number “The Circle of Life”. Still does that and it's now the end of October 2013. I also notice, Old Toad, that once I had already installed all the themes (1-5) - the old themes - THEN, software update/App store provides a link to download them. Then I ran software update and updated to 7.1.2. Now everything installed but on ilife 08 the version of idvd is 7.0 and cannot be opened in mountain lion but that's ok, as I said, it installed fine and then I updated idvd to idvd 7.0.4 (because I had already downloaded that updater from the apple website) and that was compatible with mountain lion and cool beans, I have ALL themes available in iDVD on my macbook air 10" with mountain lion 10.8.5. (I did delete all iDVD themes and the program so I'd do a fresh install & repaired permissions) I selected 'custom install' of course and installed iDVD only - but selected the 'iDVD extra content' and checked that too. So what I did was use an external drive to put the ilife 08 install dvd in and plugged it into my macbook air with mountain lion. Guess what - iLife '08 also has ALL of the idvd themes on it. I found ilife 08 - (did not have ilife 09). So after reading what EventSound did, installed from iLife 09 DVD - I dug around my install discs as I've been using macs and idvd etc for a long time. The program works fine but with just those themes. Themes from iDVD6 & 7 installed fine but the rest did not. Needed iDVD on MBA and dragged the app from MBP to MBA and copied themes from library/application support/iDVD and came to the same problem as the others here. I too have a newish MBA with 10.8.5 (mountain lion) and an older MBP that had iDVD on it with ALL of the themes installed and working 1-7 (none greyed out). This is an old thread but as I was searching for some info came here and wanted to add some possibly helpful information. I tried adding themes 5 out of 7.0.1 into the Application Support/iDVD/Themes folder on my MBP with Mountain Lion, tried repairing permissions (none to repair) rebooted and then tried iDVD, but while themes 6 and 7 are ok, it does not recognise the Themes 5 folder or any of the older themes.Īny suggestions as to what I can do next? Philip I tried downloading update 7.0.1 and opened it with Pacifist. There seems to be a broken link there somewhere. However when I open up iDVD themes from 6 and 7 are ok but the old themes all appear just as a yellow triangle. I did a repair permissions from disk utility and rebooted. I then copied those themes into the Themes folder on my new MBP. So I copied the themes 1-5 from the Application Support/iDVD/Themes folder that I have on my older MBP with Snow Leopard. I clicked on one of the greyed out themes and received the message that I could get an update, but it goes to the apps store and simply stops there. With that I had themes 6 and 7 only with the older themes greyed out. I installed iDVD as a custom install from my iLife 11 original disk. I am still encountering the problem with old themes with iDVD on my new MBP that uses Mountain Lion. My preferences are the same as shown by nomoreinflu.

Awesome React Photo Gallery and Slider Components and Libraries The judge dismissed other claims from the lawsuit, including invasion of privacy and negligence claims, because Twitter remains shielded from liability for those claims under Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act. “The Court finds that these allegations are sufficient to allege an ongoing pattern of conduct amounting to a tacit agreement with the perpetrators in this case to allow them to post videos and photographs it knew or should have known were related to sex trafficking without blocking their accounts or the videos,” Spero wrote. According to the lawsuit, Twitter also received a complaint in December 2019 stating that a user who posted some of the videos had been sharing “obvious child porn,” but the platform allegedly did nothing in response. The judge also noted that Twitter was specifically alerted about the videos multiple times but took no action for more than a week. Spero said he found that allegation plausible given that the tweets were reportedly viewed and shared thousands of times. He found the complaint adequately alleged the sexually explicit tweets were monetized to generate ad revenue for Twitter. Magistrate Judge Joseph Spero rejected that argument. Twitter argued it could not be sued for the alleged violation because it did not participate in the venture, and even if it had, it gained no benefit from the alleged participation. Internet platforms are generally immune from lawsuits over content posted by users under Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, but FOSTA carved out a specific exception for violations of that sex trafficking law. Twitter is accused of violating the Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act, which makes it illegal to benefit from a sex trafficking venture. At that point, the posts had already received 167,000 views and 2,223 retweets, according to the lawsuit. The plaintiffs say they alerted law enforcement about the tweets and urgently requested that Twitter remove them, but Twitter refused to do so until nine days later when a Department of Homeland Security agent contacted Twitter and urged action. A few years later when they were in high school, links to those videos began appearing on Twitter in January 2020. Two 18-year-old plaintiffs suing under the pseudonyms John Doe #1 and John Doe #2 say they were 13 years old when a sex trafficker posing as a 16-year-old girl tricked them into sending pornographic videos of themselves through the social media app Snapchat. Twitter was sued this past January by two young men who say they were manipulated into sharing sexually explicit videos of themselves as minors before finding the videos posted on Twitter a few years later. Some civil rights groups have complained the law amounts to censorship of online speech. The law was intended to discourage platforms from making it easy for sex traffickers to advertise and sell the services of their victims online. The law was passed in reaction to websites like, which critics said facilitated an online marketplace for prostitution. In 2018, Trump signed the Allow States and Victims to Fight Online Sex Trafficking Act (FOSTA), which carved out an exception to a 1996 law that shields internet platforms from lawsuits over content posted by their users. SAN FRANCISCO (CN) - A law signed by former President Donald Trump has opened the door to potentially hold Twitter liable for allowing child pornography to circulate on its platform, a federal judge ruled Thursday.

Among lipoproteins, low-density lipoproteins (LDL) play a critical role in the early-onset of the disease. Although mechanisms by which hypothalamic PSA controls plasma cholesterol homeostasis remains to be elucidated, these findings also suggest that low level of hypothalamic PSA might be a risk factor for dyslipidemia and cardiovascular diseases.Ītherosclerosis is characterized by the accumulation of lipoprotein-derived cholesterol in the arterial wall ( Hegele, 2009 Goldstein and Brown, 2015). These results indicate that hypothalamic PSA controls plasma lipoprotein profile by circumventing the rise of LDL-to-HDL cholesterol ratio in plasma during overfeeding. Importantly, we found that hypothalamic PSA removal aggravated LDL elevation and reduced HDL levels upon HFD. Although plasma VLDL-cholesterol was normalized within the first week, LDL and HDL were still elevated after 2 weeks upon HFD. We report that HFD consumption in mice rapidly increased plasma cholesterol, including VLDL, LDL, and HDL-cholesterol. In this work, we investigated the role of hypothalamic PSA in the regulation of plasma cholesterol levels and distribution. In the hypothalamus, PSA is involved in many aspects of energy balance including food intake, osmoregulation, circadian rhythm, and sleep. In the brain, PSA modulates distances between cells and controls the plasticity of the nervous system. The polysialic acid (PSA) is a large glycan that is added to cell-surface proteins during their post-translational maturation. 2Institut National de la Santé et de la Recherche Médicale LNC, U1231, Université Bourgogne-Franche Comté, LipSTIC LabEx, Fondation de Coopération Scientifique Bourgogne-Franche Comté, Dijon, France.1AgroSup Dijon, Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique, Institut National de la Recherche Agronomique, Université Bourgogne-Franche Comté, Dijon, France.Xavier Brenachot 1, Thomas Gautier 2, Emmanuelle Nédélec 1, Valérie Deckert 2, Amélie Laderrière 1, Danaé Nuzzaci 1, Caroline Rigault 1, Aleth Lemoine 1, Luc Pénicaud 1, Laurent Lagrost 2 and Alexandre Benani 1 * |
