![]() ![]() Simon also an American serving in the RAF, at No. 139 Squadron RAF became the first American ace in day when he and his observer William Smith in a Bristol F.2b shot down on 30 July 1918 three Albatros D.IIIs, one LVG C and one reconnaissance plane Billy Bishop, the top scoring Canadian and British Empire ace of the war, was piloting an S.E.5 on 19 June 1918, when he scored four Pfalz D.III fighters and a LVG C two-seat reconnaissance aircraft near Ploegsteert. ![]() He achieved this whilst piloting a Sopwith Camel fighter. John Inglis Gilmour of the Royal Air Force successfully brought down five German aircraft in a single day on 1 July 1918.For this success he was awarded the Distinguished Service Order. Frederick McCall, Canadian flying ace, shot down five German fighters, four (3 Albatros D.V and 1 Fokker D.VII) in the morning and the fifth in the evening (Albatros D.V) of 30 June 1918.Henry Woollett of the Royal Air Force shot down and destroyed six German airplanes on 12 April 1918, setting two afire.John Lightfoot Trollope of the Royal Air Force shot down and destroyed seven German planes on 24 March 1918.Raymond Collishaw, a Canadian who was the top scoring Royal Naval Air Service ace, piloted a Sopwith Triplane when scoring six Albatros D.V fighters near Menen, 6 July 1917.Andrew Beauchamp-Proctor, the top scoring South African ace of the war, was piloting an SE5a fighter with Royal Air Force No 84 Squadron when he shot down five German aircraft on.He had a total of 27 kills during the war, even though he wore glasses and had a useless left arm. Bernert scored five victories within 20 minutes on 24 April 1917. ![]() The first single pilot (as opposed to double aviators, as is the case with the previously mentioned Arigi and Lasi) was World War I German flying ace Fritz Otto Bernert. The first aviators to ever achieve "ace in a day" were pilot Julius Arigi and observer/gunner Johann Lasi of the Austro-Hungarian air force, on 22 August 1916, when they downed five Italian planes. René Fonck, the top scoring French Aéronautique Militaire and Allied ace of the war, scored six in a day on both 9 May and 26 September 1918. Atkey credited with a total of 38 victories, making him the most successful two-seater pilot and Gass with 39 claims was the most successful observer ace of all time. Two days later, on 9 May, they were credited with another five enemy machines in the course of two sorties. On, they shot down five German planes in a single sortie over Arras. World War I Ace in a day on two occasions Ī Bristol F2B crew – Canadian pilot Captain Alfred Atkey and English observer Lieutenant Charles Gass – became "ace in a day" twice in the same week. ![]()

![]() ![]() In 50% of the cases the person killed was armed. In every case where deadly force was used the person resisted arrest. Since there were a total of 10 million arrests that year this means that only one in 10,000 arrests led to a death. In 2018 about 1000 people were killed by cops. “The impetus for that commitment was, and still is, the rampant and deliberate violence inflicted on us by the state.”Īctually, the police killing of blacks has fallen by 70% since 1970. “Black Lives Matter began as a call to action in response to state-sanctioned violence and anti-Black racism. BLM promotes the false narrative that there is a state sponsored, racist war on blacks that is manifested in the police targeting and killing of black people. I accept the truth of the slogan “black lives matter” in the sense of equal of treatment under the law but I do not support the organization for the following seven reasons.ġ. All racism should be opposed because we are all part of one human family. All police brutality should be prosecuted. The great command for us to “love of our neighbor as ourselves” compels us two seek equal justice for all people without regard to their race, ethnicity, age, gender or beliefs.Īll black lives do matter as all human lives matter. We should oppose and try to correct this sin as much as possible. This continues here and around the world. “Cursed is the man who withholds justice from the alien, the fatherless or the widow.”Īll through human history, individuals and groups have been unjustly deprived of life and liberty through murder, slavery etc. Any abuse or denial of basic rights to any individual or group is wrong and should be opposed.ĭt 16:20 states “follow justice and justice alone. All humans are valuable and should be respected, protected and afforded the rights given by God including: life, liberty and equal justice under the law. All are designed by God and are accountable to God. All humans are made in the image of God with intrinsic worth. I heartily agree with this statement “Black Lives Matter”. Some Christians as well have expressed support for this movement but my understanding of the scriptures will not allow me to join in this support. Even Major League Baseball and the NBA are now promoting the movement with players kneeling during the anthem while wearing BLM tee shirts. Many people now express their support for BLM in the wake of the death of George Floyd due to the excessive force used by police officer Derek Chauvin during his arrest on May 25, 2020. Over the last couple of years it has become increasingly popular here and around the world with over 30 chapters in the USA. Blacks Lives Matter is a movement and organization that started in 2013. ![]() ![]() ![]() In this article we saw how to define or declare the function json_decode() along with its syntax and parameters are explained. In this article, we conclude that the PHP provides a json_decode() function that is defined as a function for converting or decoding any JSON format string or data into the PHP data type objects as output. Then we are even printing json_last_error() and json_last_error_msg() functions which will print about the error information such as “4 syntax error” that is related to the PHP code written in the above example with the screenshot shown above and if we do not want to print any of error messages using the error functions then the output would be “null” that means it will not print anything in the converted objects of PHP as JSON string or data itself is invalid and this can be seen in the below screenshot. ![]() In the above program, we can see in the variable “json_string” we have passed an invalid JSON data and we are trying to access the object in the above JSON string to PHP object when it is converted using json_decode() function. In the below, we will see passing an invalid JSON string to the function and try printing the errors also. In the above program, we can see when we have declared a json_string and access any of element in array we use array in any programming language similarly, we write it with echo function and in the above code we have to observe that we have not passed asso_arr parameter in the json_decode() function so to access the element we have to write “echo $x-> Companyname ” and if we set the second parameter to “true” then we have to write “echo $x ”. In the below program we will see how to access an element of an array using the echo function. Now we will see an example below having an invalid JSON format and passing this string to the json_decode() function and what error and output it will give and we will also how to print those array which can be accessed using the “echo” function in the below section. Suppose we have not set anything or not passed asso_arr parameter such as “var_dump(json_decode($json_string)) ” then this value would give us access to the property of the object in an array as shown in the below screenshot. It has array(5) which means it has 5 elements in an array. In the above code, we can are declaring a JSON variable as json_string in which we are storing the JSON format data to be converted and then this variable is passed as a parameter to json_decode() function with asso_arr set as “true” that gives it in an array format as shown in the above screenshot. In the above program, we can see when we are writing PHP code in HTML structure we start with “”. Examples of PHP json_decodeįollowing are the examples are given below: Example #1 Now let us see simple example which uses json_decode() of PHP in a HTML structure. This json_decode() function of PHP takes JSON encoded string as input and returns the value that is decoded to PHP objects which of PHP data types and if the decoding is not possible then this function returns null instead of PHP objects. Opt: this parameter is used to specify the bitmask of JSON_OBJECT_AS_ARRAY, JSON_BIGINT_AS_STRING,JSON_INVALID_UTF8_SUBSTITUTE, JSON_THROW_ON_ERROR and this also an optional parameter.Recur_depth: this parameter is used to specify the depth of the recursion and this is also an optional parameter with 512 as a default value.This parameter is optional and has false as the default value. Asso_arr: this parameter is used to specify the Boolean values that can return an associated array if the value is set to true, else returns an object if it is set to false.Json_string: this parameter is compulsory to specify the JSON encoded string for converting it into PHP objects Syntax: json_decode(json_string, asso_arr, recur_depth, opt ) In the below section we will see syntax and examples of using the json_decode() function: In this article, json_decode() is an inbuilt function provided by PHP for converting or decoding the JSON string into PHP objects where this function takes the JSON data or string which represented as a javascript array as a parameter which is an encoded string is decoded to PHP objects or data types using this json_decode() function and the opposite is done using json_encode() function in PHP. ![]() In general, the PHP provides a function that takes a JSON string that usually represents a javascript array or object literals for converting this encoded string in JSON format to a particular PHP object data type. In PHP the inbuilt function json_decode() function is defined as a function as it name suggest it is a function for conversion of any JSON a standard text format objects or decoding of JSON objects to PHP objects, taking a JSON string as a parameter which this function converts or decodes it and returns the encoded values which were in JSON into proper PHP objects. ![]() ![]() ![]() In the original recording, Solomon Linda’s voice soars over a chorus of men chanting “ imbube, mbube. To her, the lyrics implore the lion to leave the flock alone. Scholar David Düsing translates it as “wake up.” According to Düsing, the last king of the Zulus, Chaka, was known as “the Lion.” Düsing explains: “Following his death, a legend arose that ‘the Lion’ was only sleeping and would one day awaken.” However, Linda’s youngest daughter translates “ mbube ” as “stay away.” She reported that the song was inspired by Linda’s childhood job as a herder, guarding his cattle against marauding lions. ” The Zulu word “ mbube ” has been translated in contradictory ways. ![]() A lawsuit, on behalf of Linda’s heirs, was finally resolved in February 2006: The Linda family was awarded a share of royalties from 1987 to the present.Īs is often the case in indigenous song, the meaning of the song is open to interpretation. He lived in poverty, working as a floor sweeper, and died penniless in 1962. Meanwhile, Solomon Linda had signed away the rights to his song in 1952 for less than a dollar. The song gained renewed popularity when it was included in the soundtrack for the 1994 animated film The Lion King. The Tokens’ version topped the charts worldwide and was recorded by over 170 artists, earning millions of dollars in royalties for Peretti, Creatore and Weiss. The Tokens’ song-writers Hugo Peretti, Luigi Creatore and George Weiss were credited as the lyricists and composers. ![]() In 1961, a rock band, the Tokens made an adaptation of Seeger’s version, added English lyrics, and retitled the song The Lion Sleeps Tonight. Wimoweh was released with great success by Seeger’s band, The Weavers. The famous American folk singer and songwriter Pete Seeger heard the Evening Birds’ recording, created his own version of the song, and changed the title to Wimoweh -a mispronunciation of the original title. Mbube is an example of the tortured path often followed by folk songs as they gain popularity and become part of mass market culture. It was recorded in South Africa by Solomon Linda and his group The Original Evening Birds in 1939. In fact, it's even more of a hodgepodge than the original version was seven years previously.Mbube is of Zulu origin. Although it contains a couple of Seeger's greatest hits, "Wimoweh" and "If I Had a Hammer (Hammer Song)," as well as some interesting performances of spirituals, with such collaborators as Big Bill Broonzy, Memphis Slim, and Willie Dixon thrown in, the album is still a hodgepodge. The recordings also seem to have been re-edited and remixed, with some extra waves of applause overdubbed. In 1968, Folkways was in a flurry of releasing Seeger compilations (the others were Pete Seeger Sings Woody Guthrie, Pete Seeger Sings Leadbelly, and Where Have All the Flowers Gone?), and this one takes eight of the 12 tracks from the Sing Out with Pete! album, re-sequences them, and adds a few other stray tracks ("Wasn't That a Time," "What a Friend We Have in Congress," and "Hymn to Nations"). Nevertheless, Moses Asch, head of Folkways, couldn't have been very pleased at the development, and when Columbia issued its first Seeger album, a live LP called Story Songs in August 1961, Folkways countered the same month with its own live album, Sing Out with Pete!, which turned out to be a cobbled-together set of tracks that had been left off earlier Seeger live collections. This did not, as it turned out, mean that he actually left Folkways, which retained the right to issue not only previously unreleased recordings dating from before the Columbia deal, but also new recordings if Columbia didn't deem them sufficiently commercial to constitute competition. In 1961, Pete Seeger, long the flagship artist of the tiny independent Folkways Records label, signed to the major label Columbia Records. ![]() ![]() ![]() Kindly call or email to get imprinted pricing.

Between the jazz music, good visuals, solid voicework and the fact that you can fully explore the city at your leisure, there’s a lot to enjoy when you’re not engaging with the actual gameplay. Joke’s on her: the fat is my natural body armour.Īdmittedly, the game also does a great job portraying its setting. Occasionally, this leads to moments like the one that started off the review, where you’ll have someone in your party leave combat or where your party will get a buff, but in reality they happen so rarely that the only reason it’s worth mentioning is because of the mediocrity of everything else in the game. For instance, a recruitable character may be in love with someone and will refuse to attack them in combat regardless of if they’re from a rival gang, but that same character may hate somebody else and will refuse to go on missions with them. In the game, the party members that you and your foes use to engage in combat are all drawn from a limited pool that has been created by the developer, and as such some of them have relationships with one another. ![]() Really, the only way in which Empire of Sin stands apart from other titles, at least with its gameplay, is with its relationship mechanic. Since this isn’t hard at all due to the game’s combat, it makes this part of the game feel forgettable at best. Even on the game’s harder difficulties, it’s possible to never even open the menus that help you manage your empire as long as you’re constantly taking over new locations. As soon as you get the hang of the game’s combat, it’s always easier to kill just whoever gets in your way, after which you’ll be able to take control of their businesses which generate enough passive income to allow you to continue killing people. ![]() In your quest to take over Chicago, you can in theory micromanage each one of your individual rackets while also engaging in Civilization-style diplomacy with other gang leaders, but there’s little reason to bother doing this. They aren’t terrible, but they’re also completely superfluous. This sentiment extends to Empire of Sin’s strategy elements, too. There’s just nothing more to it, which when considering that it’s a major portion of the game, means that the overall experience becomes forgettable very quickly. You use skills to devastate your foes, they use health packs to regen their hitpoints, and then eventually you win and get some loot. Each fight plays out exactly like you would expect it to, with you and your enemy taking turns to move around a grid-like map while occasionally shooting at one another with attacks that have a random percentage chance to hit. Although it isn’t as offensively terrible as it could be, it also doesn’t do anything different from the scores of other turn-based combat games available on the market. However, the problem is that, just like in those aforementioned titles, none of these core mechanics are very good, with the game's combat being the worst offender. To do this, you use XCOM-esque turn-based combat to fight rival factions, while also managing some grand strategy elements, like your relationship with the police and what quality of illegal liquor you’re using in the businesses that you control. You take control of one of around a dozen historical mob bosses in prohibition-era Chicago, where you’re tasked with taking over the city for your crime family. Like in Company of Crime, and Omerta: City of Gangsters before it, Empire of Sin has all of the elements to make for a great game. To put it differently, Empire of Sin is the latest attempt by a passively well-funded game developer to create an interesting and engaging crime management game. However, as soon as everyone was inside the beautifully rendered mob base, the enemy boss sniped my player character and I was dead after one turn. I didn’t care, though, because I still outnumbered the baddies 2:1. Then, just as I breached the stronghold, I got a notification on my screen telling me that my sniper wouldn’t target one of the enemy’s lieutenants because he was in love with her. I’d personally selected each one of the ten soldiers in my crew for their specific skills, they were all equipped with the best weapons that I could buy, and each one was leveled up from the past hour of me wiping out my rival’s rackets. As I entered the safehouse of a rival mob family, I was ready to end a gang war that had been raging since I started my campaign to take over 1920s Chicago as Al Capone. ![]() ![]() ![]() So deflecting blaster fire works automatically as long as you're squared up to the attacker. Using the lightsaber in Jedi Knight II reproduces the same strengths, weaknesses and techniques of using lightsabers that we've been shown in the Star Wars movies. The lightsaber control mechanism itself can take some getting used to since you simply use the same buttons for primary and secondary attacks just like you do every other weapon and unleashing automated saber swings like this doesn't feel natural initially. Developer Raven's greatest accomplishment with this engine is the seamless transitions it makes between first-person and third-person perspectives just to accommodate the lightsaber combat system. Granted it's an FPS with Imperial stormtroopers, blaster rifles and thermal detonators, but taking hold of a Jedi's weapon of peace and justice literally changes everything about Jedi Knight II. Before that you're merely playing a first-person shooter. The game takes off when you finally get your hands on your lightsaber (on Yavin IV, say about 35% through the game). Once you get the lightsaber, the controls work out much better. What works for a third-person viewpoint doesn't necessarily work for first-person shooting. As Kyle, you're developing into a Jedi with all sorts of skills and abilities at your disposal that you will need as the game presses on. Jedi Knight's main appeal lies in the assortment of weapons and force abilities you'll acquire from mission to mission. This part of the game has you blasting your way through new and familiar locales throughout the classic Star Wars Universe that everybody likes and even has you running into icons like Lando Calrissian and some Skywalker guy. ![]() Gameplay The main story puts players in the role of Kyle Katarn, the sometimes Jedi Knight who has to get reacquainted in the ways of The Force if you're going to see him through this latest adventure. Developed in conjunction with the critically acclaimed Raven Software using Quake III engine.Two-player multiplayer modes include Jedi training and team-based play.Explore authentic Star Wars locales - Cloud City, the Jedi Academy on Yavin 4, Nar Shaddaa, the smugglers' moon, plus never-before-seen locations. ![]() Battle with an arsenal of weapons: stun baton, Bryar blast pistol, blaster rifle and more.Employ combat or stealth, depending on the situation.Tap into the powers of the Force including Jump, Push, Jedi Mind Tricks and more.Expanded and enhanced use of the lightsaber features a slew of attack and defense moves.While the Star Wars look and feel as well as many of the game's great gameplay elements remain intact, the game falls graphically well below the other versions and lacks the fine-tuned controls of the PC original. Sadly, the game didn't transition as well to GameCube. ![]() |
