According to MSG James Ferguson, former Intelligence Analyst with the 4th Infantry Division, "The Muslit family was the key as far as they provided all the inner circle of bodyguards. Raids of suspects' homes netted additional evidence of unexpected connections in the network.Īnalyzing this new wealth of information from various sources, Army intelligence personnel soon focused on the Al-Muslit brothers, members of Hussein's inner circle of bodyguards. As individuals were captured or detained, interrogations revealed further connections, all of which were plotted on the diagrams. They began with personal relationships between his closest confidents and family members. Army Intelligence personnel with the 1st BCT and Special Operations Task Force 121 created Link Analysis Diagrams showing Hussein's network. Intelligence analysts with the 4th Infantry Division's, 1st Brigade Combat Team developed a "Three Tier Strategy" based around five families who had known Hussein since his youth. Instead, analysts needed to focus on Hussein's personal connections. Army Intelligence personnel realized that political leaders were not the best path to finding Hussein. However, while US forces were netting high value targets, they were no closer to catching Hussein because his political power base scattered when the Iraqi regime fell. Initially, the search for Hussein focused on the aggressive pursuit of High Value Targets, those government leaders whose names were on the "Black List," or on the Most Wanted "Deck of Cards." Early success came with the capture of several Iraqi leaders, including Hussein's presidential secretary in mid-June 2003. The daily interactions of these teams with local Iraqi citizens generated a vast amount of information about Hussein's family network. Several Tactical HUMINT Teams consisting of US Army interrogators, counterintelligence agents, and interpreters, also deployed throughout the area in the summer of 2003. The trail to Hussein would be carefully developed by intelligence professionals using solid Human Intelligence or HUMINT tradecraft and detailed analysis techniques.įollowing the collapse of Hussein's regime, the 4th Infantry Division occupied the area in and around Tikrit, Hussein's family home. A nine-month hunt for the deposed president followed. Within three weeks, US forces secured Baghdad, but Hussein had escaped the capital city. On March 20th, 2003 Coalition troops invaded Iraq to oust dictator Saddam Hussein from power and free the Iraqi people. The script of that video is excerpted here. In an effort to highlight the intelligence aspects of this milestone event, the Intelligence Center of Excellence History Office has developed a five-minute video case study entitled: "The Capture of Saddam Hussein: Human Intelligence Out Front." The video can be accessed from the History Office located inside the MI Library on Fort Huachuca. The story of how he was located and captured is an intelligence success story. Ten years ago this week, the US Army captured Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein alive.

When you are hit, you are not allowed to talk to other players on the field. Once off the field you will clean up and prepare for the next game.Ħ. When you are hit, you must call yourself out, raise your hand, walk off the field and place the barrel bag on the gun, while keeping your mask on the entire time. A paintball must break on a player to be a hit, but if you call yourself out or hit on a bounce, you are still out.ĥ. Refs are looking for a hit about the size of a dime. This is the only way other players know not to shoot at you.Ĥ. During gameplay, if you are hit, you will yell as loud as possible “YOU ARE HIT” or “YOU ARE OUT” and raise your hand or gun in the air. Practice proper gun safety at all times! Guns pointed down, barrel bags on, safety on, fingers OFF the trigger.ģ. When you are in the staging area you must keep your barrel bag on your gun at all times. If you lift or remove your mask in these areas, you will be ejected from the field for the day and receive no refund.Ģ. YOU MUST HAVE/KEEP YOUR MASK ON PROPERLY on the playing fields and chronograph/target range. If you have any questions, please ask the staff for more detailed explanations.ġ. Notify the field owner or manager of any medical conditions, allergies etc.If the barrel cannot be removed, disconnect all CO2/CA equipment, test fire the gun downrange until no more air is left in the gun, clear the breech or ball loading area, and then, carefully and while wearing goggles, glance down the barrel. If the barrel needs checking, remove from the gun and check. Most injuries occur at the end of the day when players are exhausted.Bring food or money to buy food from field.Never remove face masks while on the field.Know the rules of the game and abide by them.If possible, engage the safety or turn off the air supply, so the paintball gun will not fire accidentally. Anytime you are carrying a paintball gun in a ‘safe zone’ such as the parking lot or staging area where people are not wearing goggles, you MUST have a BARREL BAG on the barrel.Upon receiving or retrieving a gun check if it’s loaded.Always assume the gun is loaded even if you know otherwise.Make sure the velocity of your paint gun is below 280 feet per second.Make sure your mask is well seated and will not come off during the game.Inspect the lens of your goggles for cracks or signs of weakness.Do not fire your paint gun anywhere except on the field during the game or in the designated chronograph area/shooting range.Xtreme Paintball REQUIRES goggles be worn at all times while on playing fields. While in the staging areas, we require that everyone have a BARREL BAG on their guns to prevent a ball from coming out of the barrel. Ignoring safety is a good way to get yourself ejected from a field. Safety is highly stressed at most fields. In addition to using a non-lethal projectile, paintball players ALWAYS wear protective masks covering their face and eyes. Since the paintballs are fairly light (only weighing a few grams each), they have little momentum while in flight, and thus are not lethal like the heavy lead projectiles fired from conventional firearms. Guns shoot the balls at a speed of 200 to 300 feet per second. The ball is a thin plastic shell filled with a water soluble paint. We have paintball guns that shoot either a. Like all action sports (e.g., football, racquetball, basket-ball, hockey), paintball is potentially dangerous unless adequate protection is worn (most importantly: eye protection) and safety rules are understood and followed.

Nulls can also create controllers that are tied to specific objects within a skeleton, to allow an artist to move and control elements much more easily than actually trying to select the specific points themselves. Joints are objects that essentially act as the bones of the skeleton, where the nulls/groups/ targets act as the cartilage to define the range of movement. An animation or 3D rig usually comprises a system of ‘invisible’ objects that can be seen in a 3D viewport but not in a final render.Īt the most basic level, these objects are nulls/groups and joints. The niche for HIGH END character animation, for now, is clearly occupied by Maya but using it for ordinary tasks is at times an overkill.ģD rigging is in effect the process of creating an invisible skeleton that defines how an object moves. In addition to this, Cinema 4D also has a bunch of extra little things like cool deformers, visual selector, HUD, fields, interaction tag, and so on. The XPresso visual programming environment allows you to create very complicated relationships of elements in the rig and not just that. Using it, you can quickly create animations that otherwise would either be impossible to create without it or you would require far more resources for that. There’s also CMotion, a parametric movement generator. You can create presets of your own, share them without any problems with other users, and create rigs with just a few mouse clicks. Primarily, this is the Character, a built-in modular rigging system, that allows us to create a rig based on presets straight out of the box. It also has powerful and at times even unique tools related to exactly character animation. Its largely non-destructive and parametric approach allows you to quickly iterate in all 3D aspects. In general, it’s a very ergonomic and stable software, which is under continuous development. I can’t say I found what I’ve been searching for, but, in my view, Cinema 4D is highly underrated in the sphere of character animation and rigging” said Victor Abramovskiy, a 3D Generalist with over 15 years of experienceĬurrently, the market is dominated by Maya, which undoubtedly is a really powerful tool. I’ve worked in many programs: Autodesk 3dsMax, Maya, Softimage, Messiah, Blender, and the like. “All the time I’ve been interested in animation I’ve been constantly searching for ideal software.

Thank you to all the firefighters who are working day and night to keep the Elmo 2 Fire in check. Let’s make sure the state coffers are ready for the next bad fire season. In 2017 when 1.4 million acres burned in Montana, the cost to the state approached the $100 million mark.Īs Gianforte looks to continue his zero tolerance approach to wildfires, he should also look to shore up the state’s fire fund to match these aggressive attacks in seasons ahead.Įven the most fiscally conservative Montanans would agree that putting out wildfires as fast as possible is money well spent. But by all accounts, this summer’s fire season has been comparatively mild. The state’s fire suppression fund isn’t in jeopardy yet - the estimated fire fund balance for FY 2022 was $58 million at the beginning of the year. The Elmo and Redhorn fires alone have eaten away half of that amount in just two quick weeks. The average annual cost for fire suppression in the state was about $23.3 million over the last decade. Meanwhile, the nearby Redhorn Fire on the Mission Mountains is also drawing a healthy response, with a tab of $1.5 million and counting. The two-week total to fight the Elmo 2 Fire dinged $13.3 million on Friday - a number that promises to climb much further as crews work to achieve 100% containment in the coming weeks. Of course, such aggressive attacks don’t come cheap. So far, to Montanans’ delight, he’s kept that promise. “We will respond immediately to fire with one primary goal, and that is to put that fire out as safely and quickly as possible.” “In Montana, we do not, and will not, have a ‘let it burn’ policy,” the Republican governor told land managers at a fire briefing in early May. Greg Gianforte’s commitment to do whatever it takes to extinguish all wildfires in the state this summer, whether they’re on state or federal forestland, tribal reservations or wilderness areas. The aggressive initial attack and continued flow of resources that saved those homes reflects back to Gov. Unfortunately, eight structures were lost when the wind-driven blaze raced toward Lake Mary Ronan and Camp Tuffit, but the losses could have been far greater - hundreds of structures were threatened at one point. Super scoopers, single-engine air tankers, helicopters, water tenders and heavy machinery all have assisted in the remarkable effort.Īs of Friday, the 21,000-acre fire was at 75% containment, and more than 500 firefighters remained on the scene to help secure fire lines and douse hot spots. More than 2.5 million gallons of water has been dropped on the fire since it began July 29, along with nearly 500,000 gallons of fire retardant. The human-caused blaze that had its way with the tinder-dry grass and timber on the Flathead Reservation west of Flathead Lake was promptly hushed by an overwhelming onslaught from more than 600 firefighters and a relentless air attack. The fury of the Elmo 2 Fire met its match last week. And history should not forget another way that prospectors were exploited. Those were the first “golden retrievers” in Alaska, the guide joked. It would be all but impossible to bicycle along either route, much less to carry heavy supplies on the bike, our tour guide pointed out.īut that was not the only scam-not by far. Another one involved selling to the prospectors “gold-sniffing gophers” which allegedly had been trained to run to the gold fields and bring back the nuggets. The bikes had large side baskets, supposedly capable of carrying all the supplies. Scam artists in Skagway capitalized on this. One scheme involved selling “special” bicycles to naïve travelers. To get that many supplies across the Canadian border – after a long trek along either the White Pass Trail or the steeper but shorter Chilcoot Trail –prospectors in the days before the railroad had to carry their loads in stages. It required them to carry approximately two tons of supplies to sustain themselves. Some decided they could fleece the prospectors before they ever left Skagway.ĭuring the time of the 1898 Gold Rush, the Canadian government decided that it had to protect gold-happy prospectors from freezing or starving to death in the Yukon. Not all the people who came to Skagway (a name derived from the Tlingit language for “the place where the North Wind blows”) were intent on traveling closer to the North Wind’s source to find gold. Serving as the port for the would-be gold discoverers, Skagway was incorporated in 1900 as Alaska’s first city, soon to be followed by Juneau. Humor rides along with you on the tracks that first started taking gold prospectors to the Yukon Territory back in 1900 – after a two year, two month and two day construction project that at its zenith employed 35,000 men during the late 1890s. Well, I will tell you one thing: I have never seen a train stop to take a picture of a bus.” Noting a bus stopped on an apron of the highway across a wide mountain gulch, our guide on the train commented, with pretend contempt, “You might be wondering if you chose the right tour from Skagway today. The onboard magazine, All Aboard, explains that the White Pass and Yukon Route Railroad was so honored because of the “many difficult and hazardous obstacles that construction overcame: design challenges, granite mountains, steep grades, cliff hanging turns and unimaginable weather conditions.”īut don’t get the idea that Alaskans or Canadians bedeck themselves in blue ribbons, or put their noses in the air and sniff when discussing less demanding engineering projects-unless, perhaps, if you’re talking about the Klondike Highway, which at certain points runs a nearly parallel course as the railroad in Alaska. The railroad was designated as an International Historic Civil Engineering Landmark in 1994. SKAGWAY, Alaska –The narrow-gauge railroad that climbs from this town 20.4 miles to the Canadian border at White Pass, and then some 90 miles farther north up to the Yukon territorial capital of Whitehorse, is given the same sort of respect by civil engineers that they accord to such marvels as the Eiffel Tower, the Statue of Liberty and the Panama Canal.
