I got accepted to an EMT school but before I could even start classes, I was told that because of my criminal record I could never be an EMT. I volunteered with an ambulance corps and through that work I realized I wanted to become an EMT. “After escaping my last trafficker I worked hard to reclaim my life,” Abdullah said. Victims, legal experts, and community members asked lawmakers to advance the bill because of the frequency with which victims are often forced to commit crimes as a result of trafficking that place a damper on their life, long after they are freed from trafficking. “Besides being arrested in Manhattan many times for prostitution, I also was arrested for possession of drugs.”Ĭlick above to vote on HB 6657: AN ACT CONCERNING HUMAN TRAFFICKING “I was not only forced with violence to sell my body, but I was also forced to sometimes carry and sell drugs,” said Sharifa Abdullah, founding member of the Advisory Board for The Legal Aid Society’s Exploitation Intervention Project. Section 7 of the new bill will expand the vacatur statute to include any charges. The current Human Trafficking statute allows for victims to vacate prostitution charges. The bill, HB 6657, an Act Concerning Human Trafficking, was referred to the Judiciary Committee on March 18.

If it's not an owl, then what is it? Most likely a Mourning Dove. Owls can live and even thrive in urban environments, but they still need trees and space to hunt. Though it's not unheard of, owls don't make a habit of hanging around windows, and while you can sometimes see them in groups during mating season, they are typically solitary birds unless nesting. An alleged owl hooting during the day is another red flag, as they are largely nocturnal. Finally, if this person lives in an apartment building sandwiched between two other buildings in the dense Manhattan neighborhood of SoHo (real-life example yours truly once encountered), then there's no freaking way. Now, if you have indeed been here before, then you have likely-and rightly-responded somewhat skeptically. For this person's sake, you hope they do have an owl nearby (it's certainly possible), but you are also keenly aware of a few things that make you doubtful.įirst off, if they are indeed hearing the bird directly outside their window or have "a bunch," there are already issues. ![]() If you know anything about birds, you've probably had a friend or even stranger that knows little about birds say something along these lines to you: "I have an owl right outside my window, and it's really loud." Or better yet: "I have a bunch of owls around my place!" ![]() ![]() College Requirements College Admission Admission to the College of Architecture At the same time, they learn the foundational skills in composition, craft, presentation, and idea generation necessary for all design fields.Īt the end of d.ONE, students have gained an understanding of the broad range of design and are eligible to apply to any of the design programs in the College: landscape architecture, architecture, and interior design. Design Thinking and design Making are sequential hands-on courses where students learn to work in teams to address problems and promote innovation. In addition, students take University courses in math, English, communications, and a general education elective. The d.ONE curriculum offered by the College of Architecture introduces students to design through courses in three areas: Technique (drawing and computer applications), Design Discipline (an introduction to the related design disciplines and design history), and Design Practice (design Thinking and design Making). d.ONE: Common First Yearĭ.ONE engages and prepares students for exciting futures in all design fields within the College of Architecture. This curriculum exposes students to various challenges facing the landscape architecture profession, including sustainability, landscape ecology, construction issues, stormwater management, infrastructure, and issues created by urbanism. ![]() ![]() These courses include material in horticulture, environmental sciences, architecture, planning, and site engineering, in addition to core landscape architecture studios. Students are required to take an array of courses in support of the core studio sequence in addition to the university’s general education courses. The landscape architecture program is accredited by the Landscape Architectural Accreditation Board (LAAB). This review involves an evaluation of the student’s academic record and a portfolio of their work during d.ONE. At the end of the d.ONE, students are required to apply for admission into the professional segment of the curriculum. Students receive a professional bachelor of landscape architecture (BLA) at the end of the fourth year. The accredited Landscape Architecture Program is a four-year course of study that has been subdivided into a one-year foundation (d.ONE: Common First Year) and a three-year professional degree. Be grounded in a broad base of knowledge within the curriculum, emphasizing connections among subjects that relate to and inform landscape architecture, thereby enabling investigation and problem-solving on all scales in a creative manner.Receive the educational foundation for a professional career instilled with insightful design and planning ability, key technical skills, ethical judgment, and an ever-enhancing understanding of landscape architecture.Achieve academic excellence so qualities of intellectual curiosity, open communication, personal responsibility, collegiality, and the skills to work individually and with others are held to rigorously high standards.The goal of the landscape architecture program is to nurture responsible citizens to address the complexity of world issues that face our discipline through creative and transformational design. This requires professionals to manage storm water, select appropriate plant material, and anticipate human impact all with an eye on a sustainable and more resilient future. Therefore, landscape architects must be able to understand the process of nature and impact human settlement has on ecosystems. Their appreciation for historic landscapes and cultural resources enables landscape architects to undertake preservation planning projects for national, regional, and local historic sites and areas.Ĭollaborating with architects, city planners, civil engineers, and other professionals, landscape architects play an important role in environmental sustainability by designing and implementing projects that respect both the needs of people and of our environment. ![]() They also design and plan the restoration of natural places disturbed by humans such as wetlands, stream corridors, mined areas, and forested land. Landscape architects plan and design spaces and places such as gardens, parks, plazas, streetscapes, residential developments, campuses, cemeteries, commercial districts, resorts, transportation infrastructure, open space networks, towns, corporate and institutional centers, and waterfront developments. Landscape architecture combines the arts and environmental sciences. ![]() ![]() ![]() Similar to GemCraft: Labyrinth's "Battle Settings", battle traits modify the mechanics of the battle at varying magnitudes based on trait level (TL). Each skill level costs more skill points to level up, and unspent skill points add mana to its starting pool, so it isn't always a good idea to spend all skill points. Skills that indirectly affects gem power are capped at 45. The game begins with only a few skills, but more can be gained by unlocking tome chambers on certain maps from killing a specific number of monsters in certain ways. Higher difficulties are also the only way to acquire level 100 talisman fragments, as they increase the levels of dropped fragments. Looming is the default difficulty, with harder difficulties resulting in more and tougher monsters in a longer battle, but also reward more experience for completing the battle and increase the battle trait experience multipliers. Levels can now be played on 3 difficulties: Looming, Glaring, and Haunting. Endurance mode goes on until round 999, after which the player completes endurance mode for the map and receives a different coloring on the token, or they lose. Achievement progress is not recorded during this mode either. ![]() X4 field completed haunting difficulty in endurance mode.Įndurance mode can now only be attempted after the player beats the allotted number of waves for the level they are playing, and is a button on the victory screen. ![]() This EXP bar in the battle was first introduced on Gemcraft iOS.

Using one of these tags will negate digestion if eaten by an ally.Īpologies.

It works, but script took up multiple pages and was made only with enemy-preds. Converted parts of the Vore ABS into a Vore DBS, using State Charges as a holder. When making a Bondage Movement System, also tried to make a Vore Action Battle System. Started to notice that Vore games were either single-player (easier interactions) or heavily evented. Way later, played games like Esthe Hunter. I also experimented with Kirby in the same era. Right, so I ended up playing a Vore RPG, probably 2003.

The complete official description of the snappy format can be found in the google GitHub repository. The size of the dictionary was limited by the 1.0 Snappy compressor to 32,768 bytes, and updated to 65,536 in version 1.1. The length is the number of bytes to copy from the dictionary. The offset is the shift from the current position back to the already decompressed stream. The copy refers to the dictionary (just-decompressed data). 11 – Copy with length stored as 6 bits of tag byte and offset stored as four-byte little-endian integer after the tag byte.10 – Copy with length stored as 6 bits of tag byte and offset stored as two-byte integer after the tag byte.01 – Copy with length stored as 3 bits and offset stored as 11 bits one byte after tag byte is used for part of offset.Lengths larger than 60 are stored in a 1-4 byte integer indicated by a 6 bit length of 60 (1 byte) to 63 (4 bytes). 00 – Literal – uncompressed data upper 6 bits are used to store length (len-1) of data.The element type is encoded in the lower two bits of the first byte ( tag byte) of the element: The remaining bytes in the stream are encoded using one of four element types. The lower seven bits of each byte are used for data and the high bit is a flag to indicate the end of the length field. The first bytes of the stream are the length of uncompressed data, stored as a little-endian varint, which allows for use of a variable-length code. The format uses no entropy encoder, like Huffman tree or arithmetic encoder. Snappy encoding is not bit-oriented, but byte-oriented (only whole bytes are emitted or consumed from a stream). Snappy does not use inline assembler (except some optimizations ) and is portable. ![]() Decompression is tested to detect any errors in the compressed stream. It can be used in open-source projects like MariaDB ColumnStore, Cassandra, Couchbase, Hadoop, LevelDB, MongoDB, RocksDB, Lucene, Spark, and InfluxDB. Snappy is widely used in Google projects like Bigtable, MapReduce and in compressing data for Google's internal RPC systems. The compression ratio is 20–100% lower than gzip. Compression speed is 250 MB/s and decompression speed is 500 MB/s using a single core of a circa 2011 "Westmere" 2.26 GHz Core i7 processor running in 64-bit mode. It does not aim for maximum compression, or compatibility with any other compression library instead, it aims for very high speeds and reasonable compression. Snappy (previously known as Zippy) is a fast data compression and decompression library written in C++ by Google based on ideas from LZ77 and open-sourced in 2011. ![]() ![]() ![]() Interestingly, it really does try to be serious, which leads to a dissonance as it periodically breaks from "this is terrible and awful and I don't want to hear about more people being gibbed" to "oh my gosh mechs are awesome and explody and did you SEE that?" It's a very visceral and violent R-rated novel. Or at least, that's what it's about between the frequent battles and descriptions of well-oiled machinery firing high-powered machine-and-body-melting lasers, explosions, gore of every variety, and the "cacophonous beauty" of high caliber rounds decimating enemy armor. It's not the 80s action-movie tongue-in-cheek parody you might expect, but a "serious" book following characters dealing with dying friends, the horrors of war, and wrestling with loyalty to a cause vs loyalty to comrades and promises.
