![]() The only thing they CAN’T do is use (most) human weapons. Dogs: Dogs are fast, keen reinforcement units which drive vehicles, heal people, set and disarm traps, repair stuff, throw grenades, sniff out hidden enemies to bite them in the rear, and much more. Also, their Stealth is horrible, and their resistance against all forms of non-kinetic damage is shoddy at best. On the downside, these fearsome death machines are so heavy that they can only slowly walk, even when undamaged. Breaking just one arm or leg also doesn't bother them - only damaging both arms or legs will cripple a Titan. ![]() Being Winded or Encumbered has no effect on Titans whatsoever. And even without any guns installed, getting punched by a Titan is like getting hit by a car. ![]() Titans can soak up a lot of damage, have nanobot-enabled regeneration abilities and use no time to reload their specialized guns - which are essentially modified vehicle cannons. Titans: A Titan cyborg is as close to being a walking turret as it gets. Although tough to kill, they do have one weakness – EMP weapons can circumvent their thick armor and quickly render their delicate electronics useless. However, their hydraulics make a lot of noise, so they aren’t exactly camouflage artists themselves either. Their large multi-wavelength sensor units make them hard to hide from. Humanoids: These two-legged armored robots can use all regular weapons, just like humans (although maybe better). Valkyries are slightly more susceptible to EMP attacks than humans. When they attack, Valkyries can close their blades to boost their attack speed or open the blades to deal slower, but more far-reaching and devastating attacks which can even pierce thick armor. Fast and resilient, their advanced nano-robot systems allow them to regenerate at inhuman speeds. Valkyries: Valkyries are specialized cybernetic melee units. Normal people are rare in the world of Dustwind, but they still exist. Humans: The last survivors of the war and the aftermath.

![]() ![]() You will be pushed into that towards which you ought to advance like a soldier. Root out this idea from your soul otherwise your apprehensions will remain undecided and will thus check the impulse to action. You cannot “still braver go,” if you are persuaded that those things are the real evils. Yield not to evils, but, still braver, go Where’er thy fortune shall allow. There is no element of fear in any of its actions. For virtue accomplishes its plans only when the spirit is in harmony with itself. Hence he is torn in different directions and if this happens, the glory of his act is gone. On the one side is the motive which bids him carry out his purpose on the other, the motive which restrains him and makes him flee from something which has aroused his apprehension or leads to danger. When, however, a man goes to face an evil, either through fear of worse evils or in the hope of goods whose attainment is of sufficient moment to him that he can swallow the one evil which he must endure,-in that case the judgment of the agent is drawn in two directions. Besides, no deed that a man does is honourable unless he has devoted himself thereto and attended to it with all his heart, rebelling against it with no portion of his being. But nothing glorious can result from unwillingness and cowardice virtue does nothing under compulsion. It is not in the order of nature that a man shall proceed with a great heart to a destiny which he believes to be evil he will go sluggishly and with reluctance. Human mind? For the mind will never rise to virtue if it believes that death is an evil but it will so rise if it holds that death is a matter of indifference.

This looks like the best interpretation I've seen so far. ![]() The only things I'm still struggling to find a personal interpretation for are the big floating matrix halo from the intro/ending, and how the monolith ghost birds play into everything. The Anubis is a symbol of hope and peace that is displayed in the architecture of the four races all throughout the course of their advancement. The Anubis side formed from the original faith of the four races that had driven their desire to make contact with god, which had then led to the creation of the Immortal Cell. I don't think the Titans were grown in the lab, though one is being reassembled - but I do believe that the shadow is manipulating the hyperlight powering the drones in order to rebuild that Titan. However, I say that the shadow side formed from the fear and hate of those opposed to unification, and converted those lives into the Titans - which is why they appear as if from no where in the vision of the past, from all directions (not just the south!) and begin to attack the survivors. The Immortal Cell could manipulate the world through hyperlight, as that had been the power source that led to its creation I agree with you on this. People feared their minds being linked as it was happening, which poisoned and divided the Immortal Cell who they were connected through, and led to the explosion in the intro. And while it was a noble goal, I don't think it failed due to betrayal. The god's power could be imbued within all sentient life, linking all hearts and minds (without having to make an Evangelion soup). This doesn't inherently mean their god did or didn't exist all that matters is what they created in their efforts. Much like the story of Akira was about creating a god and Evangelion was to unify all humans into a godly tang soup, I think that the four races colluded to reach out to their god with the power of hyperlight, and ended up creating the Immortal Cell. I think these statues, which have an archaic-looking design, imply that the races (maybe originating with the Otters?) worshiped Anubis before they reached their technological peak. There are three similar-looking Anubis statues in the game: one in the east, one in the underground city, and one in the very first area of the game. To me, it just makes more sense that the four races, at their peak, found a way to harness the power of their god, the Anubis. But I cannot agree that the Immortal Cell is an AI, and I'm not sure why multiple people continue to suggest it - the only evidence I've seen is that the underground city looks like a server farm, but that doesn't feel substantial enough to me. I agree with a lot of what you say in light of the translations. ![]() ![]() ![]() When looking at a door, determine if there are bolt heads coming through that could indicate a drop bar is behind it. It probably is not the primary door the occupants use and may be a very difficult door to force. If we find a door with a faceplate and no keyway, for instance, we may want to consider an alternative entry point. Some of our best indicators when looking at a door are the lock faces and keyways. The type of door construction - steel, wood, solid core, or hallow core - will determine how we will place our prying tool. The construction of the door, the frame, and wall, are also important to us. When dealing with outward-opening doors it must be remembered that the hinges will not always be visible, they may be recessed into the door. If this door has an inoperable interlock device, it may open to a shaft without an elevator at that floor. In public-housing-project buildings, we may find an elevator door that swings out. Utility closets will have outward-swinging doors that may contain haz-mats with which to contend. ![]() In multiple dwellings, an outward-swinging door can be a danger sign. The threshold in a bathroom doorway is also a good size-up factor and can be a great guide during a search. An inward-opening door will generally signal a bedroom or bathroom. An outward-swinging door in an occupancy of this type usually indicates a closet or basement entrance. This will also mean the hinges are on the inside of the door. The vast majority of residential buildings will have inward-swinging doors. The direction a door swings and hinge locations are some of our size-up factors. Size-up of the door and occupancy will help us select tools and give us an idea of what we will encounter inside the door. Here we will look at size-up and tool selection for forcible entry. These "rules" will also keep us out of trouble. Last time, we talked about the basic procedures or rules of forcible entry that will offer the most success in accomplishing our mission. ![]() ![]() ![]() Non-vested benefits are not considered marital property.ĬALIFORNIA In re Brown, 544 P. Non-vested benefits are considered marital property.ĪLASKA Laing v. If you know of a case that relates to this topic, and do not find it listed here, please e-mail us the citation so that we can include it in this section.Į-mail: ALABAMA Jackson, 656 So. If nothing is listed under a particular state it is because we have not found any pertinent cases relative to this topic. The following is a summary of case laws we have come across in our research of this topic. However, most courts have condemned this notion of postponing a decision about pension distribution. #Qdro in tennessee appily to government workers how toSome courts have found that a possible solution to the problem of distributing non-vested benefits is to wait until such benefits vest to make a decision about how to divide the property. It should be noted that delaying distribution of pension benefits is not the same thing as delaying a decision about each spouse’s share of a retirement plan. Such value should reflect a calculation based upon the contingency of the benefit. ![]() If the employee is willing to assume the risk that the benefits will never vest, it is possible to determine a value for immediate offset. If another asset is awarded to the spouse in lieu of the non-vested benefits, and the benefits never reach vested status, the employee is short changed. ![]() However, inherent in this approach is the uncertainty of the vesting status of the benefits. When using the immediate offset method of distribution it is necessary to establish a value for the non-vested benefits and award another asset in lieu of the non-vested benefits. Using the deferred distribution method eliminates any uncertainty about the vesting status and/or maturity of the benefits which would play a role in determining value for an immediate offset. At the time the pension becomes payable the appropriate portion of the benefits are distributed to each party. The most appropriate method of distributing a non-vested pension between divorcing parties is using the deferred distribution method. The difficulty of determining the exact value of the plan can be avoided by deferring payment of the other spouse’s share until the time pension benefits begin.ĭistribution: Non-vested pension rights which accrue during the marriage constitute marital property and may be divided using either the immediate offset method or the deferred distribution method. the contributions of both parties (primarily and secondary) to the pension.the time left before the benefits become vested.The following facts should be examined in determining value: Valuation: Determining the value of the marital portion of a non-vested pension can be difficult. A non-vested pension should not be considered entirely marital property, but such portion of the non-vested benefits which are attributable to service performed during the marriage should be included in the marital estate. Therefore, part of the value of the vested pension after 5 years must have been attributable to the first 4 years and 364 days of employment.Ĭlassification: There seems to be a general consensus that non-vested pension rights, to the extent that such rights accrued during the period of marriage, are considered marital property. For example, an employee’s benefit may vest after completion of 5 years of service, however, the employee could not achieve vested status without being employed for the 4 years and 364 days prior. Although vesting occurs on one day, it is not logical to assume that the pension benefit for all years of employment up to that day was entirely earned on that one day. General Discussion: Non-vested pensions, though not entirely earned, represent a form of deferred compensation for service performed over the course of a number of years. Vesting occurs when the employee completes the number of years of service required to receive benefits under the plan at some point in the future. Most pension plans require members to achieve a set number of years of creditable employment before being entitled to pension benefits under the terms of the plan (i.e. Non-Vested Pensions and Divorce Non-Vested Pensions and Divorce Definition: A non-vested pension plan is one in which the employee has not completed the required years of creditable service in order to earn the right to receive benefits under the terms of the plan. ![]() ![]() ![]()

THE NEW MEISTERSTCK EMBARKS ON AN UNFORGETTABLE JOURNEY. ![]() ![]() ![]() In many ways, Tuck Jagadish is highly ambitious. They're reduced to roles that just wait to be saved by the hero at the right time. Their characterization is also very weak. Two heroines who've proven their mettle in their previous films. The film has Aishwarya Rajesh and Ritu Varma as the female leads. ![]() They are amateurishly written and let down the film at its most important junctures. If at all something new has been tried in the film, it's a twist before the interval that makes you go "Hmm, interesting!" But the dialogues following that reduce the effectiveness of the twist. The other technical aspects are okayish in nature, and there's not much to complain about. Thaman's songs especially paint a vivid image of a village in our minds with just the sounding, and it's too good. The sole positives of the film lie in Nani's expressions, and the music - Gopi Sundar's background score, and Thaman's rustic folk numbers. We've seen this trope in countless films, and this one too adds up to the list. The next morning, the important person would be dead. In films that focus on family relationships, when there is an important death about to happen, there will be a scene where that person bonds with the hero at midnight, and they drench themselves in nostalgia. All this is completely cliched, to a point where, when a scene starts, you can easily guess what's going to happen next. Once he enters, he becomes the saviour of the people immediately - saving women from goons, and people from the corrupt ones. While there is nothing novel about the plot, there is a slight expectation that the presentation might be new.īefore Jagadish enters the village, a few cases of violence due to land issues are shown to us, explaining the issue in the village.
