Explaining the end of BO6

At some points, BO6 has a campaign that is somewhat complicated to understand and it is understandable that some people did not understand it. This is normal with other BOs, Bo1 and BoCW have campaigns that are easy to understand, but the stories in Bo2, Bo3, Bo4 and Bo6 are difficult to understand at first, so here is an explanation for you.

What is Pantheon?First of all, it is important to explain who our enemy is, Pantheon. They were a secret division of the CIA that had been created sometime in the 60s, this division was effective, but their methods were brutal.

At some point in the 1970s, Pantheon got involved with Advanced Technologies and Applications (for ease, I will call it ATAA), ATAA was a CIA secret operations program that was created sometime in the 70s and managed by Pantheon, with the objective of creating weapons and technology that were beyond the reach of the people who lived at that time.

In the Emergence mission, we invaded an abandoned ATAA base in 91 and found a hook in perfect condition, as well as tips on experiments with zombies and even brainwashing. In fact, it was at this base that Adler took Bell to do the MK Ultra brainwashing.

And for those who want proof, Adler meets Bell on 01/13/81 and we see in a cutscene that Adler was at ATAA on 01/17/81, so that Bell appears with the brainwashing completed on 02/23/81.

Now let's talk about Cradle, this virus was actually the result of a project to create super soldiers, but the CIA modified it to be a biological weapon to be used in countries that are enemies of the USA. The cradle was tested on several test subjects, and as far as we know, only Case and Harrow were successful.

Case was a CIA agent who was used in the experiments, it is not known if he was a volunteer or not, for now we do not know much about his past.

But now about Harrow, she was born in the 50s and saw her parents being killed on 09/12/60, she ended up being adopted by her uncles and then joined the CIA to try to find out what happened to her parents. After years of trying to find something, Harrow receives a diskette sent by the Pantheon saying that her parents were killed by Adler at the behest of the CIA, which made her join the Pantheon and volunteer for the Cradle experiments.

A while later, there was a containment breach that caused the virus to get out of control at the ATAA facility. It was an accident where everyone was infected and started killing each other. This is the effect of the Cradle, which makes its victims aggressive and attack anyone they see in front of them. But maybe it wasn't an accident, since we have a dialogue between Case and the voice in his head that suggests that he was the one who caused this containment breach.

After this event, ATAA was closed while the CIA chose to dismantle the entire Pantheon division, in this case the person responsible for this is Daniel Livingstone. But even without the CIA, Pantheon members infiltrated the Cradle victim rehabilitation program, to search for surviving victims of the outbreaks and study them or make them forget what happened. Among the victims was Case and he does not remember the events because he was brainwashed to forget them.

And just to explain something and not confuse anyone, Harrow is indeed from Pantheon and she remains loyal to them even after Livingstone dismantled the division. She infiltrated the CIA as a spy for Pantheon without her superiors knowing. And later she ordered the reactivation of the Cradle project to make the virus stronger, to the point of making its victims commit cannibalism. She did this because Pantheon wanted to destroy the CIA from the inside out and take control.

However, in 1986, a CIA agent named Hudson ended up finding out about undercover CIA agents through an interrogation in Afghanistan. Knowing this, Pantheon joined Raul Menendez to carry out an ambush that led to the death of Hudson, Mason and the leg in the movement of Woods' legs. These are the events of the missions that took place in the past in Bo2.

After that, in an attempt to avoid being discovered, the Pantheon sets up a lie where Harrow sends a false report to Livingstone saying that the traitor was Adler. Harrow was chosen because she wanted this report to make Livingstone kill Adler. This makes Adler become a fugitive for a while until the events at the beginning of the Bo6 campaign, where the CIA trio (Marshall, Harrow and Case) were after Alawi (an Iraqi minister). We don't know what he would be used for, but what we can understand is that he would end up in the hands of the Pantheon.

Why? Well, the trio is on the CIA's side, but Harrow is on the Pantheon's side while the Pantheon attacks the trio. If the Pantheon won, they would take Alawi, but if the trio won, Harrow would take him to the Pantheon. Now why did the Pantheon want him? Alawi was the Iraqi defense minister and Pantheon had agents in Iraq. They were exchanging technologies with Saddam Hussein. While Pantheon gained resources, Hussein gained a sample of Cradle.

Alawi didn't know what Cradle was doing, but he knew it wasn't good and he didn't want to join them. At the beginning of the campaign, Alawi was fleeing Iraq to meet Adler and get to a safe place. The reason Adler shot him was to prevent him from being caught by Pantheon. And yes, Adler knew Pantheon existed, but he didn't know their plan.

After that, the events of the campaign happen. I don't intend to summarize them because this post is already quite long. But I'll add that I'll talk about a Vorkuta easter egg in the future.

Now let's move on to the end of the BO6. Harrow is affected by a replacement injected by Adler that makes her hallucinate and tell the truth to the protagonists, but why does Harrow have two personalities? Well, remember when I said that Case was brainwashed? Harrow was also brainwashed, but to make her more obedient to the Pantheon, this ended up fragmenting her personality.

The interrogation went well and we discovered that the Pantheon left a sample of the cradle in Washington, which would be released and contaminate the capital, thus causing Livingstone to be fired and Harrow to take over his position. In the end, Harrow manages to escape by helicopter and Case runs after her, they end up killing the helicopter pilot and making it fall into the water.

During the fight between them, the voice in Case's head tells him to kill Harrow, this leaves a doubt and that perhaps Harrow was discarded by the Pantheon, since her plans failed, and now Case should kill her.

In the end, we don't know what happened to Case, but we do know that Marshall had time to warn Livingstone and evacuate the place, saving many lives from the Cradle. Two weeks later, Livingstone offers the protagonists' team a position where they would be agents who would destroy the Pantheon, since they now know that there are spies within the CIA and that their main meeting point is Avalon.

While this is happening, in Livingstone's office we see a guy fiddling with his computer, this guy is Jackson Caine. Yes, I know some people thought that guy was Mason, but no, Mason died and Caine is a multiplayer operator and one of the Pantheon's infiltrators within the CIA.

And no, the end of Bo6 is not an open ending for the next games but for a story that they would continue within the multiplayer seasons, this has been happening for a while since MW1 Reboot. In addition to the CIA vs Pantheon fight, the zombies characters are also going to Avalon to get an artifact, so in short, from now on they would mix everything up, welcome to the codeverse.

Hi guys, it took me a while to post because there was a power outage in my entire state, I hope you liked it and just to let you know that I will also talk about the seasons. Feel free to correct me or ask anything, sorry for my bad English and have a good day (⁠＾⁠∇⁠＾⁠)⁠ﾉ⁠♪

Scott Livingston: The creative and iterative process is such an amazing thing to watch.

Do you pay attention to it in your practice when working with your clients?

Knowing what your client is trying to accomplish with their body is exceptionally important.

Sometimes your client doesn't possess the capability (how) or capacity (how much) to perform the movements they want to perform.

But sometimes the creative process demands that they explore these corners.

The human body is exceptionally good at compensating, but compensating catches up with you.

Being informed of your client's process is exceptionally important so that you can help them navigate the demands and prepare them to do what they seek to do.

The final product of Scott+Tessa's short program didn't look exactly as they had conceived early on.

But, by being privy to the experiment, we were able to ensure they could do what they wished to do with good health and good performance.

New article: "The Good Nurse’: See Eddie Redmayne as N.J. serial killer Charles Cullen in film with Jessica Chastain".

By Amy Kuperinsky | NJ Advance Media for NJ.com, July 21, 2022.

"Oscar winner Eddie Redmayne is New Jersey serial killer Charles Cullen in the upcoming Netflix thriller “The Good Nurse.”

Cullen killed 29 people while working at a series of hospitals in New Jersey and Pennsylvania over a 16-year span.

Netflix released first-look images from the movie, which also stars Oscar winner Jessica Chastain.

Chastain plays Amy Loughren, the Somerset Medical Center nurse who brought her suspicions about Cullen to police and was asked to wear a wire to collect evidence against him.

“The Good Nurse,” directed by Tobias Lindholm (”Another Round”) and written by Krysty Wilson-Cairns (”1917”), is based on the bestselling 2013 book “The Good Nurse: A True Story of Medicine, Madness and Murder", by Charles Graeber.

After his arrest in 2003, Cullen, who is from West Orange, admitted to killing patients at Saint Barnabas Medical Center in Livingston, where he started his nursing career in 1987, and more patients at Warren Hospital in Phillipsburg and Hunterdon Medical Center in Flemington. He also admitted to injecting medicine into random bags of intravenous fluid. Cullen killed 13 people at Somerset Medical Center.

The nurse told police he murdered up to 40 people.

Cullen, who used overdoses of digoxin and insulin to kill patients, also worked at Morristown Memorial Hospital as well as Liberty Nursing and Rehabilitation Center in Allentown, Pennsylvania. He was connected with deaths at Easton Hospital in Easton, Pennsylvania; Lehigh Valley Hospital in Allentown; and St. Luke’s Hospital in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania.

Cullen, 62, who has made numerous suicide attempts throughout his life, is currently at New Jersey State Prison in Trenton after being sentenced to 11 consecutive life sentences (six more were added for his Pennsylvania murders).

In 2008, the families of Cullen’s victims at Warren Hospital, Somerset Medical Center and Hunterdon Medical Center who filed wrongful-death lawsuits against the hospitals reached a confidential settlement. Those facilities, along with Saint Barnabas in Livingston and St. Luke’s in Pennsylvania, paid an undisclosed sum for claims in connection with the deaths of 22 of Cullen’s victims.

The cast of “The Good Nurse” also includes Nnamdi Asomugha, Kim Dickens, Malik Yoba, Alix West Lefler and Noah Emmerich.

Redmayne, 40, won an Oscar in 2015 for playing Stephen Hawking in “The Theory of Everything.”

Chastain, 45, won an Oscar in March for playing televangelist Tammy Faye Bakker in “The Eyes of Tammy Faye.”

“The Good Nurse” is slated for a fall release on Netflix...".

" Currently, 4 to six weeks is the new similar."

"I am a lifelong Missoulian, as well as people claim real estate professionals must love this market, but I do not," Wahlberg said. "Buyers are obtaining their hearts damaged 2 or three times a month, sometimes not locating anything as well as these are purchasers that are actually well certified with very good jobs." Several of those buyers, he claimed, are needing to make concessions fewer bedrooms or no garage. "For every single one satisfied, you have five that are disappointed," Wahlberg said.

As a whole, upwards price stress at higher cost degrees have severe implications for cost down the line, claimed Chris Glynn, an elderly economic expert with Zillow. "When many customers are evaluated of the typical house in an area, they take a step down the rate ladder and also search for cheaper residences that fit their spending plan," Glynn stated. This groups functioning people out of the market, which appears to be carrying on without them. The price of property is rooted in the cost of land, and the price of land a remarkably limited source in the urban areas of an expansive state has gotten more expensive, said Bryce Ward, a financial expert at the College of Montana.

The variety of active listings in the state's peak season during the summertime has actually likewise dropped from year to year, according to data from the St. Louis Federal Reserve. In August of 2019, there were more than 7,500 residences on the market. One year later, that number had actually plummeted to 4,210. New listings are similarly weak compared to a year before, all while the typical house price, as is well-documented, has actually shot up. Ward included that although reduced rates of interest have actually typically kept home loan repayments in check, down settlements have increased precipitously, valuing out first-time customers who are because of this often unable to build equity.

When a residential property flips back from rental to owner-occupied, it remains to put a press on budget friendly rental real estate as tenants are displaced, as well as need for rental housing boosts. The consistent redefinition of what makes up a "reasonable" cost to pay for a home has caught the interest of policymakers charged with trying to maintain the imagine owning residential property alive in Montana. Cheryl Cohen, the Housing Department administrator for the Montana Division of Business, claimed that hard-working Montanans need accessibility to budget-friendly real estate, and also that need has far outmatched the supply, although the state has funding and also brand-new programs to aid boost schedule.

In Montana, the median house earnings, according to USA Census Bureau, is at $54,970. Depending upon rate of interest, that means for many Montanans, cost effective housing would suggest a home cost of no more than $275,000. The Census bureau likewise reports that approximately 68 percent of the houses in Montana have their house, with a median price of $230,600. At the same time, the average renter in Montana pays $810 regular monthly. Wage growth typically, has hovered around 3 to 4 percent, with more wage growth in the top rates of wage-earners, according to the State of Montana. In various other words, earnings are not matching the pace of housing prices as they climb.

" The space in real estate stock is at the reduced end of the spectrum," Cohen said. Considering that 2015 and the development of state programs suggested to enhance inexpensive housing, the state has actually created or rehabilitated even more than 3,300 residential properties statewide, causing an estimated 8,200 work, Cohen has said. In 2020, the state had 7 tasks as well as 252 little, affordable real estate jobs go into Joliet, Cascade, Laurel, Havre, Livingston, Belt and also Helena, primarily focused on low-income, seniors and those with specials needs.

The State of Montana, nonetheless, was amongst the leaders in COVID alleviation funding to help participate of the $25 billion alloted for alleviation as well as network it toward occupants and home owners who were having a hard time to pay for housing. That shows ended up being a version for various other states and also also bigger cities like Chicago which connected to assist implement similar programs, Cohen stated.

Laser Therapy in Hartland: What It is and How It Works for Pain Relief and Healing

Laser therapy, also known as cold laser therapy, is a non-invasive and painless medical treatment that has gained popularity in recent years for its effectiveness in providing pain relief and promoting healing. In Hartland, laser therapy is widely used by medical professionals as a rehabilitation tool in Livingston.

Laser therapy works by emitting low-level laser energy into the tissues of the body. This energy is absorbed by the cells, which in turn stimulates cellular metabolism, increases blood flow and reduces inflammation. This process helps to relieve pain and speed up the healing process.

It is also a cost-effective alternative to surgery and other forms of invasive medical treatment. Unlike surgery, laser therapy does not require any downtime or recovery period, allowing patients to return to their daily activities immediately after treatment.

Laser therapy in Hartland, is performed by licensed medical professionals who are trained in the use of laser therapy equipment. They will assess the patient's condition and determine the best course of treatment. During the therapy session, the patient will simply lie down and relax while the therapist applies the laser to the affected area.

In conclusion, laser therapy in Hartland is a safe, effective and non-invasive form of medical treatment that provides pain relief and promotes healing. Cold laser therapy for arthritis is a common application, but laser therapy can be used to treat a variety of conditions, including sports injuries, chronic pain, and soft tissue injuries.

If you are in need of rehabilitation in Livingston, consider trying laser therapy for a pain-free and fast recovery. Visit our website https://www.bye-byepain.com/  today for more information.

Scott Livingston: Do you see the intention of this exercise and what it is trying to affect?

Exercise is not always about overloading the muscles to produce higher degrees of force.

Sometimes exercise is about ensuring that certain attributes of movement remain consistent and available under load.

In this skating movement, there is a requirement for the front side lunging hip to open up, go into flexion, and accept the load (dissociation) while the pelvis remains consistently under the trunk.

The trunk must remain linked to the pelvis (association).

And the back side hip needs to extend significantly, but not impede the movement of the pelvis as it follows the front side hip (dissociation).

All of this is done with speed and grace.

We can train these attributes and load these attributes in the gym to ensure they remain clean and available under load (capability and capacity).

County Officials to Hochul: Raise the Age law at “crisis level”

A lack of juvenile detention facilities for teenagers charged with violent crimes under New York’s “Raise the Age” (RTA) law has reached a crisis level, often forcing counties to release the accused into the public and placing communities and children at risk.

 That’s the finding of a statewide group of county officials and probation administrators, in a letter sent to Gov. Kathy Hochul on Monday (August 8).

 As noted in the letter, the 2018 RTA law created a new “adolescent offender” status for 16-and 17-year-olds who commit a felony-level crime. Under the law, instead of being tried as adults and placed in jails, the most serious offenders could be sent to specialized secure detention facilities.

 However, despite mandating that counties operate or have access to those facilities (which never existed before RTA), the scarcity of these state-certified facilities has led to “severely negative consequences,” for the public and the counties who administer the law.

 “Today, counties either have to transport youth far from home while they await trial, or the youth remains free in their community after having been charged with serious crimes that include murder, attempted murder, rape, and robbery—many of which included the use of guns,”  the letter notes. “Both scenarios, which are common occurrences in many jurisdictions, are a direct result of the state not being fully prepared for this hastily implemented legislation and its mandate that counties be solely responsible for detention.”

 “When secure detention space is not available, the Adolescent Offender, which is often a high-risk individual alleged to have a committed a serious and violent crime, is released to be supervised by the probation department.”

 To help resolve this crisis, the county officials are urging Hochul to transition some of the closed Department of Correctional and Community Supervision facilities to accommodate the lack of specialized secure detention beds.

 The county representatives also suggested that the state allow the Finger Lakes Consortium to open a specialized secure detention facility.  

 That consortium, created via a 2018 Intermunicipal Agreement, drafted by Schuyler County Attorney Steven Getman, looks to establish a not-for-profit local development corporation to develop and operate a joint detention facility under RTA.   Counties who have joined—or are looking to join—the consortium are Allegany, Chemung, Cortland, Livingston, Cattaraugus, Wayne, Schuyler, Steuben, Tioga, Tompkins and Yates. The counties contracted with John Treahy, of Treahy and Associates Consultation Services, an organization experienced in juvenile justice and child welfare issues, job coaching and staff training.

 RTA was intended as a shift from punishing to rehabilitating teens charged with crimes.  While in custody, the suspects would be eligible for a variety of case services and programs to divert them from offending again and give them access to treatment for addiction or other problems.

 The “Raise the Age NY Campaign” believes the law will be more effective in preventing re-offenses. They cite a U.S. Center for Disease Control study that found youth who are tried in the adult criminal justice system are 34 percent more likely to commit future crimes than those who remain in the youth justice system.

  A complete copy of the letter to Hochul, signed by representatives of the New York State Association of Counties,  Council of Probation Administrators and County Executives’ Association can be found here
