![]() And yes, there are still points within the single player campaign, where reason goes out the window, and the title goes full-on action move, but still won’t have to suffer through another slide down a collapsing building, or a too-close-for comfort jump into a helicopter. And that’s because lack of super-hero and super-villain like figures, ultimately makes the title feel much more, real and human. And it looks like Call of Duty World War II, will most likely be remembered for Pierson, and him alone, and that’s not because of his personality, but because of the fact that he is played by Josh Duhamel, the quote-on-quote Transformers guy.Ĭall of Duty World War II, may not be filled to the brim with a cast of countless colourful and memorable characters, but such approach to story building, ultimately allows it to elevate itself to further heights. ![]() Whereas the Modern Warfare series will always be held dearly by the fans of the franchise thanks to Captain Price, Soap McTavish, and the series main villain, Makarov. ![]() And while the story within itself, concentrates on the larger picture throughout portrayal of atrocities of War, it still provides one with a unique case of characters, which the series is known for.Ĭall of Duty World at War will always be remembered for Viktor Reznov, Black Ops subseries of the franchise will always be synonymous with Frank Woods, Jason Hudson, and Alex Mason. And their war-effort to push back Third Reich’s Wehrmacht, and secure a save passage across the river Rhine, into the heart land of Hitler’s Nazi Germany. The core single-player component of Call of Duty World War II, revolves around the events surrounding the 1 st Marine Division of the US Navy. And while I’ve enjoyed Infinity Ward’s most recent title, a lot, I was still more than ecstatic to hear that Call of Duty, is going to return to its roots, with a boots on the ground title, in the form of Sledgehammer’s Call of Duty World War II.Ĭall of Duty World War II, unlike the three previous Call of Duty titles, brings the series back on the ground, as it has removed the futuristic element of jet packs and laser guns completely, by removing the series from the distant future, and in its stead, it has placed it back within the reality of the not so distant, but gruesome past. But most importantly of all, I’ve spent the last decade of my life, playing thousands of hours of numerous Call of Duty titles, while always placing within the top 3 players on the server without fail.Įven when the times were tough, and Activision was releasing one futuristic title after another, I still stuck by the series, and have spent countless hours playing Infinite Warfare, which many have looked down upon. In Overtwatch, I can easily get in the very least to the diamond rank without little to no effort, while playing as the main DPS. Within The Beatles Rockband, I still hold numerous top 100 spots for songs such as Dig a Pony, and Her Majesty. I personally, feel more than confident when reviewing each and every single game, simply because I’ve played them all, to a proficient, and in some cases advanced level. And multiple occasions, gamers world order have dismissed reviews of sites such as Polygon, or Gamespot, due to their lack of general knowledge, implicit bias, and most importantly lack of any skill in relation to the game they were reviewing. When it comes to judging reviewer’s credibility, the public doesn’t look at his ability to write, or compose coherent arguments for and against, but at how suitable is he or she, to judge the game at hand due to their skill, and knowledge of the franchise and/or genre. 6/6/2023 0 Comments Headmaster highbrow![]() Sacks recalls, "I had been seduced by a series of vivid lectures on the history of medicine and nutrition, given by Sinclair. Īlthough not required, Sacks chose to stay on for an additional year to undertake research after he had taken a course by Hugh Macdonald Sinclair. The first half studying medicine at Oxford is pre-clinical, and he graduated with a Bachelor of Arts (BA) degree in physiology and biology in 1956. He chose to study medicine at university and entered The Queen's College, Oxford in 1951. Study of medicine ĭuring adolescence he shared an intense interest in biology with these friends, and later came to share his parents' enthusiasm for medicine. Later, he attended St Paul's School in London, where he developed lifelong friendships with Jonathan Miller and Eric Korn. Beginning with his return home at the age of 10, under his Uncle Dave's tutelage, he became an intensely focused amateur chemist. subsisted on meager rations of turnips and beetroot and suffered cruel punishments at the hands of a sadistic headmaster." This is detailed in his first autobiography, Uncle Tungsten: Memories of a Chemical Boyhood. Unknown to his family, at the school, he and his brother Michael ". In December 1939, when Sacks was six years old, he and his older brother Michael were evacuated from London to escape the Blitz, and sent to a boarding school in the English Midlands where he remained until 1943. Sacks had an extremely large extended family of eminent scientists, physicians and other notable individuals, including the director and writer Jonathan Lynn and first cousins, the Israeli statesman Abba Eban the Nobel Laureate Robert Aumann Oliver Wolf Sacks was born in Cricklewood, London, England, the youngest of four children born to Jewish parents: Samuel Sacks, a Lithuanian Jewish doctor (died June 1990), and Muriel Elsie Landau, one of the first female surgeons in England (died 1972), who was one of 18 siblings. He became widely known for writing best-selling case histories about both his patients' and his own disorders and unusual experiences, with some of his books adapted for plays by major playwrights, feature films, animated short films, opera, dance, fine art, and musical works in the classical genre. He once stated that the brain is the "most incredible thing in the universe". Sacks was appointed a CBE for services to medicine in the 2008 Birthday Honours. He and his book Musicophilia: Tales of Music and the Brain were the subject of " Musical Minds", an episode of the PBS series Nova. In addition to the information content, the beauty of his writing style is especially treasured by many of his readers. His books include a wealth of narrative detail about his experiences with his patients and his own experiences, and how patients and he coped with their conditions, often illuminating how the normal brain deals with perception, memory, and individuality. His writings have been featured in a wide range of media The New York Times called him a " poet laureate of contemporary medicine", and "one of the great clinical writers of the 20th century". He also published hundreds of articles (both peer-reviewed scientific articles and articles for a general audience), not only about neurological disorders but also insightful book reviews and articles about the history of science, natural history, and nature. His numerous other best-selling books were mostly collections of case studies of people, including himself, with neurological disorders. His treatment of those patients became the basis of his 1973 book Awakenings, which was adapted into an Academy Award-nominated feature film in 1990, starring Robin Williams and Robert De Niro. After a fellowship at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine, he served as neurologist at Beth Abraham Hospital's chronic-care facility in the Bronx, where he worked with a group of survivors of the 1920s sleeping sickness encephalitis lethargica, who had been unable to move on their own for decades. ![]() He interned at Mount Zion Hospital in San Francisco and completed his residency in neurology and neuropathology at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). Born in London, Sacks received his medical degree in 1958 from The Queen's College, Oxford, before moving to the United States, where he spent most of his career. Oliver Wolf Sacks CBE FRCP (9 July 1933 – 30 August 2015) was a British neurologist, naturalist, historian of science, and writer.

In that vein, I’m going to tell you a story of romance, passion, and tragedy. Whatever the true origin actually is, it has been lost to time but still it persists as a kernel of truth of being somehow a celebration of love. Other stories link the holiday of love and romance to games of picking girl’s names out of hats. Some say it has connections with an ancient Roman holiday called Lupercalia, which functioned as a multi-day party around February 14th celebrating “fertility” if you catch my drift. Like the Starks and their problem of too many Brandons getting confused for each other. Depending on the source it goes back to any number of martyred Valetine’s and their feasts. Valentine’s Day itself is not a holiday whose origins are easy to trace. ![]() The closest may be the feast of the Maiden’s Day, although it’s a rather gloomy affair when maiden’s gather in septs, light candles, and sign hymns while placing parchment garlands around the neck of statues of the Maiden. Many of the holidays from the Faith of the Seven revolve around their seven faced deity and there’s not an exact paragon of love and romance. Only reacting to vague cultural recollections passed down from generation to generation until the true story is lost to an endless game of telephone errrr….raven? I challenge you dear reader, could anything be more Game of Thrones? The basic, simple truth at the core of the show we watch: love.Īs for anything like Valentine’s Day in Westeros, it is hard to say. But a tradition steeped in the shadows of the past, no one quite sure what it actually is or what it used to mean. Flowers, candies, special dinners, declarations and tokens of love the world over. Ah, Valentine’s Day, a day celebrating love new and old. 6/6/2023 0 Comments Rv boondocking in texas![]() The upside to that is it opens up more options of places to boondock, but the downside is that we’re not sure if we’ll fit in those sites. What we like about Free Campsites, which is also the same thing we don’t like about it, is that the reviews aren’t always submitted by RVers. While there’s a little bit of an overlap in available free sites between that and Campendium, we’ve found places that aren’t listed on Campendium. If Campendium doesn’t work out or we want more options, we head over to Free Campsites. Those sites give us a potential place to boondock and we can research more online and via maps. ![]() We even find the sites that are listed on Campendium but don’t have reviews to be useful. This gives us a visual idea of what the place looks like and allows us to gather additional information that isn’t necessarily included in the written review – like how much tree coverage there is. Most RV sites in their database include photos. Unlike a lot of review-based websites, Campendium attracts high quality reviews that are full of important and useful details such as: what the road condition are to the site site quality what size rigs will fit and quality of cell service. Here’s why we always go to Campendium first: Campendium is extremely user-friendly and has a clean interface. They work hard to provide this great website with its extensive list of RV parks, campgrounds, and boondock sites. Leigh and Brian of Aluminarium are the people who started Campendium. I randomly come across this website sometime during the second month we were on the road and have used it ever since. Now, let’s talk about how we find boondock sites:Ĭampendium is our first and foremost used website to find boondock sites. If you want to get more tips on parking your rig for solar, read our The Art of Solar Parking post. ![]() Solar panels get the maximum hours of sunlight when they are faced south and the second-best direction is anything closest to south. When it comes to the sun, it’s not just about how much tree coverage a site has but also whether the boondocking site lets us park with our solar panels facing south. But ideally, we want to be in a spot that lets us charge our batteries because when it comes to living in a rig powered totally by sola, we have to think about the future and how much sunlight we’ll get later on. And in reality, depending on how fully charged our batteries are, we can go a few days without sun (it was ~3 days when we had lead-acid batteries and we haven’t had the chance to test it out with our lithium batteries). This isn’t an issue if we’re staying in a spot just overnight. Our second concern is whether we can get enough sunlight to charge our solar panels. |
