Counter Strike: Source
New JWP Post

Counter Strike: Source (CSS) is a complete overhaul of the popular Counter Strike 1.6 using Valve’s Source engine. The remake began as demonstration from Valve of how easy it will be to move modifications of Half-Life into the new rendering engine, resulting in a highly successful update to the most popular online action title of all time.

Team-Based Play

CSS continues the basic premise of its Half-Life-based predecessor, pitting a team of terrorists against counter-terrorists in a series of rounds. The winning team is the first to either complete their objective (e.g. plant or detonate the bomb, keep or rescue the hostage ) or eliminate every single member of the opposing side. It’s a simple premise that has proven to be years upon years of unrelenting fun for long-time players and quite the frustration for a newcomer to the game.

Lacking sufficient AI-controlled opponents to allow new entrants to shoot and battle their way into competence, there is again no way to train yourself up to speed sufficiently if you’re a newbie. You’ll have to fight your way into getting a handle on CSS – being killed off game after game by more experienced opponents.

Without a hack, that is. One of the most useful Counter Strike Source hacks released allows players to enjoy the game and pick up the fundamentals with the bots enabled – even though they’re not as smart as you’d probably prefer them to be.

Game Changes

CSS inherits the look and feel of Half-Life 2 while retaining the same action and game play that made its predecessor one of the best-loved team-based shooters in PC history. There were very few updates to the game play on the new version that it’s probably one of the most unambitious titles ever released – not that it’s necessarily a bad thing. Why reinvent a winner, after all?

What Valve did is to update the popular first-person shooter to look like a modern game, instead of the old classic that it is. To accomplish this, they overhauled the original game’s maps including the Aztec, Office, Cobble and several more. A total of 17 maps have currently been released by Valve. There were little changes in terms of map layouts save for a few new routes and camping spots here and there – nothing that can prove critical to mission objectives or alter its dynamics prominently. Obviously, allowing the game to flow essentially the same way was an important consideration during the Source update.

The environment is much more realistic with lots of depth and plenty of details. Textures have been reworked with plenty of nuances, from light reflections to airborne particles to life-like water effects. The Office map, for instance, looks like a real work environment with dozens upon dozens of business machines and motivational office signs. The environment’s reaction to the ongoing battles are also more detailed, believable and joyously destructible – from softly-breaking glass windows to a mess of exploding fruits lined across market stalls.

Allowing more realism into the gameplay, some aspects have been redefined to provide for smarter combat. For instance, players can no longer penetrate thick walls with bullets to kill opponents on the other side. A knife stab will no longer break a glass completely – you’ll need to jump through cracked windows to break them open. Grenades exploding from the other side of the wall will no longer hurt you seriously, as it did in the original game. Giving in to the always unquenchable thirst for a little more gore, death scenes are also much more detailed.

Physics has also been updated on Half-Life 2 and it comes reflected on the CSS upgrade. Collisions are very accurate and flying objects hurled through the air by massive explosions behave in a very convincing manner. While they don’t deliver much added value to the game play, the extra spectacle is definitely a welcome sight.

In terms of actually shooting your opponents to their death, a few updates may or may not have an effect on the way you play. The gun recoil is noticeably different – possibly requiring a small adjustment. The flash bang is now more effective and can prove to be advantageous to employ as it is now fitted with a real blinding effect, rendering your screen all white before slowly returning back into focus.

Strength In Numbers

With its large fanbase, there’s a good variety of CSS hacks, add-ons and customizations. In fact, the wealth of possible updates is probably one of the most exciting aspects of the game. Most every superficial aspect can be altered – player appearance, sounds, weapon skins and textures. Objects within maps are not open for alterations though, to keep the game fair for every participant.

Valve’s Source SDK also allows heavy modding in the form of plug-ins, with plenty of takers from the CSS developer community. New sound packs, weapons packs and game modes can be enjoyed by downloading the plug-ins into your game servers. Numerous hacks that can enhance your enjoyment of CSS while edging out opponents can easily be had from online sources, including various aimbots, full 3D maps, autoshooters, health ESP, zoom abilities and more.

Same Game Except It Looks So Good

CSS received plenty of favorable feedback and wide adoption from the gaming community since its release by Valve as part of the $80 Half-Life 2 package. While certain quirks remain – occasional glitches that can leave you dead before you even know it – it is a good-looking game that plays every bit as good as the original CS.

It is fast-paced, tactical, action-packed and highly customizable. It’s one of the few games that can literally make you laugh (when your opponents accidentally drops a grenade on himself, for instance), scream (when surprised by a wily competitor) and cry (I haven’t but I’ve seen some kids do). What more can you ask of an FPS that’s essentially free?

There’s no doubt that Counter Strike: Source will remain as one the most relevant online action games even years going forward.

The need and desire to safely secure items has existed for thousands of years and locks have been a primary way of securing a container, door, safe, and other ways of containing items.  For as long as locks have existed, locksmiths have been needed to carefully open them.  Before you assume that there is a malicious intent, take into consideration the circumstances a locksmith would be needed.

Locks that require keys to be opened are susceptible to one major design flaw; a key to open them must be used.  This is a flaw because the key should be kept in a different physical location then the lock for safety reasons, which also greatly increases the chances it could be lost, forgotten or stolen.  Because using more drastic measures to remove the lock may not be available at hand and if the lock needs to be used again, a qualified locksmith is needed to pick the lock.

One of the most time effective ways to pick a lock is using a technique called bumping. Lock bumping was invented in the 1970’s when a locksmith discovered a way to manipulate the complex pin and tumbler system inside utilizing a near blank key.  The technique is among the most effective for common locks but you don’t need to be a trained locksmith to effectively bump a lock.

A specific key is used for lock bumping that will allow you to get the upper pins inside a cylinder lock to rest on the sheer line allowing the plug to turn inside the cylinder and unlocking the lock.  When you bump a key into the cylinder the kinetic energy is transferred to the upper and lower pin that causes them to separate.   This technique is not as simple as putting a key in and turning it, but with a little practice you could expect to get a lock opened in a minute or two.

Bump lock keys are made for and sold only to professionals, however they can be found on several websites.  While no special permit is required to buy them and they are not illegal in anyway, using one in an manner to illegally access something could be a crime.

Christianity is a religion that has grown over time to become the largest religion the world has ever seen. However, a big curiosity of many is where has the Christian religion come from? The history of the Christian religion dates back to the death of Christ and its start as a sect of Judaism.

Under the guide of the Twelve Apostles, this Jewish sect moved around the Eastern Mediterranean and tried to spread the teachings of Christ. From the beginning, they came under direct and consistent assault and persecution from Romans as well as other sects of Judaism that did not think they were legitimate. In the 4th century, Emperor Constantine converted to Christianity and then Theodosius I made it the religion of the Empire. The first two breaks from Christianity were the Assyrian Church and the Oriental Orthodox Church.

When the Roman Empire collapsed, the Church took over many aspects of politics in Rome. This also included all the Christian territories in the old Roman territories. However, a few centuries after the fall of Rome, Islam appeared and they began to conquer territory in the Middle East. With Islam spreading and conquering more territory, the Pope called for a Crusade. However, it was during the time between the 7th and 11th centuries were more groups breaking off from the Catholic Church. However, the single biggest schism yet was the 11th century schism that broke Christianity into East and West: Orthodoxy in the East and Catholicism in the West.

During the Second Council of Lyon and the Council of Florence, the two churches tried to come together and reunite; however, the Orthodox refused to give in on some of their arguments. Therefore, to this day, the two churches are split. However, over time, the Catholic Church was able to assimilate some of the small Eastern churches.

In 1517, Martin Luther presented his 95 Theses against the Catholic Church. This resulted in the Protestant Reformation. Here, Luther wanted to go back to the very basics of Christianity. In other words, he wanted to focus only on what the Bible said. The Catholic Church, though, wanted to keep a lot of their other preaching that had been created over time. This resulted in Lutheranism. Following this, other branches appeared such as Anglicanism and Anabaptism.

In the Modern Era, Christianity has been having problems. Churches are losing numbers. People are not signing up to be clergy. Some European groups as well as Indigenous Americans are looking to go back to their culture’s old religious ways known as neo-paganism. The western civilization no longer is the standard bearer of Christianity; that has spread to Africa, South America and other nations, especially found in third world countries that have had much success with missionaries.

The ultimate question, when looking at the history of Christianity, is where is Christianity headed in the future? Will it remain one of the largest religions of the world or will it fade away? That history is yet to be seen.

Margaret Haywood

Margaret Haywood said she was convinced she did the right thing

A nurse who was struck off the register for secretly filming care for the elderly at a Brighton hospital has been nominated for a national award.

Margaret Haywood, 58, from Liverpool, has been shortlisted for the Nursing Standard’s Patient’s Choice Award.

She filmed at the Royal Sussex County Hospital for the BBC’s Panorama in 2005, which showed examples of neglect.

In April she was found guilty of misconduct at a Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) disciplinary hearing.

Ms Haywood is currently appealing the decision to the NMC.

Jennifer Price, of East Grinstead, who nominated the nurse, said: “Ms Haywood felt so strongly about the standards of care she was witnessing [she] put her job on the line.

‘Treated harshly’

“In nominating Ms Haywood I would like to help send the message to the NMC that they are out of touch with the wishes of the public they deem to protect.”

The NMC said it would not be commenting, as Ms Haywood’s case was the subject of an appeal.

Footage from Ms Haywood’s filming showed examples of neglect, including an elderly patient sitting in clothes he had soiled the night before.

Following her misconduct hearing in April, the NMC panel said she had “followed the behest of the filmmakers…rather than her obligations as a nurse”.

Ms Haywood, who had been a nurse for more than 20 years, said she thought she had been treated harshly and had put patients first.

The four other people nominated for the Patient’s Choice Award include a health visitor from Merseyside, a paediatric nurse from County Antrim, Northern Ireland, a psychiatric nurse from Bristol and a mental health nurse from North London.
