Lower merion township permits9/24/2023 ![]() ![]() If the township did enforce its ordinance, violators would face a $600 fine. Montgomery County Court ruled against the FOAC in August 2015, noting Abramson hadn’t been harmed by the ordinance or even cited under it. ![]() Township officials say they’ve never enforced it, even when several dozen others carried guns through Bala Cynwyd Park in protest a few days before the lawsuit was filed.īut the lawsuit argues the potential for harm is there, and that’s sufficient for at least one “prong” of the legal standard for the preliminary injunction being sought here. Abramson is named on the lawsuit along with Firearms Owners Against Crime President Kim Stolfer, who lives in South Fayette Township, 25 miles southwest of Pittsburgh.Ībramson hasn’t been cited for violating the ordinance. ![]() After the state Supreme Court decision, lower courts quickly dismissed cases against Pittsburgh, Philadelphia and Lancaster outright because the NRA had filed them without a resident plaintiff.īut the case against Lower Merion Township continued because plaintiff Joseph Abramson lives in the township. The state Supreme Court later overturned Act 192 because of the way the legislature enacted it.Ībout 100 municipalities had already repealed their gun ordinances lawsuits were filed against a handful that didn’t. They’d have to win a federal lawsuit to get reimbursed, which their attorney Josh Prince said they will pursue at some point.Įffective in 2015, Act 192 allowed anyone to challenge a municipal firearms law, on the taxpayer’s dime, regardless of whether they’d ever set foot in the community let alone been cited for violating the ordinance in question. Plaintiffs’ expenses are $50,000 thus far. WHYY thanks our sponsors - become a WHYY sponsor ![]()

Skybreaker vs stormblade eternium9/23/2023 ![]() Skybreakers have a strict adherence to the rules, and their oaths give them the instinctive understanding of when to act and when to let something slide. Windrunners have a natural gut instinct to protect, and their oaths give them a framwork to know when to act. The orders are travelling to the same place, but from different directions. I think that Kaladin and Szeth will swear their Fifth Ideals at close to the same time in Book 5, where it will be revealed that the Fifth Ideal for Skybreakers is essentially identical to those of Windrunners. ![]() Spoilers for all of Stormlight Archive and one plot point of Hero of Ages. ![]() We need your help to maintain a safe and spoiler-free community!

System shock system shock 29/23/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() Of course, this is not a remake, so it still retains the classic look of the cult hit, but it's obvious to see there have been some tweaks, especially when it comes to character models.You can see the difference in the before-and-after screens above. The results speak for themselves, with the new and improved version giving a bit of a boost to the aging game. In a clip lasting just under two and a half minutes, the opening to the game is shown, with the cut scene from the original sequel displayed in a picture-in-picture for comparison. Given this legacy, it's not surprising that many fans of the 1999 release will be looking forward to checking out the Enhanced Edition of System Shock 2, and the first gameplay footage from this version has recently emerged. In fact, many consider the first BioShock entry to be a spiritual follow-up to the cult science fiction series, with the former being spearheaded by Ken Levine's Irrational Games outfit, which served as a co-developer on System Shock 2 along with the now-defunct Looking Glass Studios. The original System Shock and its sequel were not successful as far as the market was concerned, but they left an impact on the industry in a way that's still being felt today. While it didn't make a massive impact in terms of sales, the sequel to 1994's System Shock has gone down as a sci-fi game that was well ahead of its time with its haunting and oppressive world combined with environmental storytelling.īoth games introduced the world to one of the most iconic AI characters in all of gaming in the guise of Shodan, long before Portal's GLaDOS or Halo's Cortana came along. ![]() For those who have been waiting to see what the upcoming Enhanced Edition of the legendary System Shock 2 looks like, a recent trailer shows off the work that's been put into this improved version, which boasts overall better quality visuals. ![]()

![]() Peterson READING 2 Urban Regimes, Clarence N. Since the late 1980s, the ascendency of public-private partnerships in building the urban environment has favored the planners promoting systems approaches, who promise a future of high-tech “smart cities” under their complete control.Preface INTRODUCTORY ESSAY: Governing the Metropolis in the Global Era PART ONE Globalization and the Economic Imperative CHAPTER 1 Studying Urban Governance in a Global Age READING 1 The Interests of the Limited City, Paul E. The postwar consensus of theory and practice was shattered, replaced by a fragmented profession ranging from defenders of top-down systems of computer-generated simulations to proponents of advocacy planning from the bottom up. Beginning in the Watts district of Los Angeles in 1965, mass uprisings escalated over the next three years into a national crisis of social disorder, racial and ethnic inequality, and environmental injustice. But the planners’ clean-sweep approach to urban renewal and the massive destruction caused by highway construction provoked a revolt of the grassroots. During this unprecedented period of peace and prosperity, academically trained experts played central roles in the modernization of the inner cities and the sprawl of the suburbs. Over the next thirty-five years, however, wars and depression limited their influence.įrom 1945 to 1965, in contrast, represents the golden age of formal planning. In 1909–1910, a revolutionary idea-comprehensive city planning-opened a new era of professionalization and institutionalization in the planning departments of city halls and universities. Building the urban environment also became a wellspring of innovation in science, medicine, and administration. ![]() From the 1850s to the 1900s, both local governments and utility companies responded to this explosive physical and demographic growth by constructing a “networked city” of modern technologies such as gaslight, telephones, and electricity. By the 1850s, immigration and industrialization were fueling the rise of big cities, creating immense, collective problems of epidemics, slums, pollution, gridlock, and crime. ![]() City planning has involved the design and construction of large-scale infrastructure projects to provide basic necessities such as a water supply and drainage. As places of dense habitation, cities have always required coordination and planning. ![]()

Download the final station pc9/22/2023 ![]() The train itself is a janky old hunk of metal, always in need of attention, but the maintenance itself takes the form of low-effort QTE’s that happen just frequently enough to convey the desperation of your state but don’t stay long enough to ever get tiresome. Failing to do so will cause the train to break down. On the train, you have to juggle the engine, fuel pumps, air conditioning, etc. The core gameplay loop here flits between maintaining the train and exploring locations on foot. You play as a nameless, mute-ish protagonist (it’s implied that you say things to NPCs but there’s no text above your head) being put in charge of a southbound train going from outpost to outpost. ![]() It’s less interested in telling a complete story from beginning to end and is more about conveying a tone through environmental details, NPC chatter, and music. ![]() You see, The Final Station isn’t so much a story as it is a mood. If you think that description of the game’s lore is too vague, that’s because it’s exactly how the game presents it. Set several hundred years after a vaguely alluded to catastrophe called ‘The First Visitation’, the world is now overrun by zombies, causing humans to get quarantined into cramped colonies with the army seemingly having enforced marshall law on the whole world as they build something or something called The Guardian that might help humankind in the face of a possible or inevitable Second Visitation. ![]() Developed by indie studio Do My best and published by tinyBuild games (the people behind Hello Neighbor and the absolutely excellent Party Hard), The Final Station was a short, dark, and wonderful action game with some survival elements. The Final Station original released on September 2016 - seemingly out of nowhere - and absolutely blew my mind. ![]()
