1/16/2023 0 Comments Purity ball![]() ![]() I asked my father to watch a video clip of the balls a few years ago I was fascinated with them. And the midst of all this revelry, they promise to remain virgins and their fathers, in turn, pledge to be the protector of that “purity.” Some are given rings-it reminds me of a wedding ceremony. ![]() They pose with their fathers under white arches decorated with flowers, like prom dates. Young women and girls are dressed in ballgowns, their hair professionally done. ![]() “The command to love him is just that-it’s a command.”Īs a feminist, I found the purity balls themselves the most difficult to watch. Colton Wilson’s wife Anna tells us, “Because I love God I love my husband, regardless of whether or not I have feelings of affection for him in a given moment.” Our culture actually celebrates barrenness.”Įven to the women who marry into the Wilson family, their roles are clear. “Biblical fruitfulness is the opposite of what today’s culture promotes. There, Kameryn is given her great-great-grandmother’s wedding ring as a purity ring and is taught about “fruitfulness.”Ī family friend reads from a prepared speech, telling her, “If and when God brings that Godly man into your life and opens your womb, becoming a mother will be one of the most profound and significant things you ever do.” Later we see Randy building a hope chest for his daughter Kameryn that will be revealed at a ceremony held in the family living room. They wear clothes that do not cover their bodies or that show their bodies in an immodest way. “Sadly, there are a lot of girls that don’t think about me when they get dressed in the morning. Daughter Kaalyn reads from an illustrated book: “Because you are my chosen princess you should dress modestly every day.” His wife, Lisa, homeschooled their children and the “curriculum” speaks volumes. (She uses a book on etiquette from the 1920s to demonstrate how to modestly bend over at a water fountain, or how to greet people with a smile when they come into your home.) Jordyn runs “the School of Grace” out of their home, where she gives advice to other young women on how to be properly ladylike. While other dads may have been teaching their daughters soccer, Randy was making sure that his little girls were focused on traditional feminine pursuits. “I am content here and I feel safe here,” she says. Still, Jordyn says she’s happy being a dutiful daughter until she meets her future husband. There are often shots of Jordyn wistfully looking off into the distance, watching her married sisters’ wedding videos or staring at her doted-on sister Khrystian who plays guitar and always has perfectly coiffed hair. “I want to be a wife and a mother,” she says, “I would hate to go off and spend thousands of dollars on an education that I wouldn’t use.” She’s also the only one of the older three sisters who isn’t married-a fact that dominates her thoughts, given she believes the most important role she could have is that of a wife. (The Wilsons have five daughter and two sons.) Jordyn is college-aged but not in college. Von Arx focuses on one daughter in particular, Jordyn. Because the most compelling focus of the film wasn’t the events themselves, but the way in which one family’s dynamic can reveal so much about American culture and politics.įilmmaker Mirjam von Arx follows the Colorado Springs-based Wilson family whose patriarch, Randy, invented purity balls. Yes, a robot.Īs I watched Virgin Tales, a Swiss documentary about purity balls-dances where young girls pledge their virginities to their dads-I thought of my father often. When I complained that I was too little to do anything, we built a robot together. He bought me chemistry sets and explained atoms to me. My father, in particular, took an interest in ensuring I was as well-rounded as possible. They built a house (themselves, of course) in Woodstock, New York, practiced Buddhism, and were intent on making sure that I didn’t buy into gender stereotypes. ![]()

This story from WashPo, which also describes how the US military was able to perfectly fake anyone’s voice saying whatever they wanted. ![]() As Mark Dice explains, the Washington Post even ran a story in 1999 detailing how the US military planned to stage an “appearance of God” in Iraq to bring people into line. The technology already exists to do thisThe technology already exists to carry out a massive fake alien attack that can convince most people of its authenticity. But the big one will be the launch of a fraudulent attack on the planet that would look 100% like an extraterrestrial event… and it isn’t. These people in the intelligence community who know this… I can’t even put into words how devastated they are when they learn this.īecause they know how these people are using religiosity, racism, alienism, division to keep the fire burning. They would love to see the closure of our civilization and the extermination of an estimated five billion people through a conflict that they will stage and manufacture Armageddon.Īnd that’s the grand deep plan that’s been around since the ’50s. He explains that the “cosmic false flag” could be the cover story for engaging in a partial extermination of humanity: “If someone tries to stage an event we’re all going to call it a hoax … and we’re not going to continue with what I’m calling ‘Scripted Armageddon,’” says Greer. Now that a mass global awakening is accelerating by the day, the staging of this “cosmic false flag” seems imminent, the researchers warn. With the help of fakestream media – CNN, NYT, WashPost and other press headlines any narrative can be considered a “fact”. Greer, if people across the planet get too wide awake and begin to challenge the power structure of the status quo an “alien invasion” will be staged through the deployment of convincing “alien” aircraft that have actually been developed, tested and perfected by secret companies of weapons like Northrup, Grumman and Boeing. See his full talk here (the story continues below):ĬLAIM: A global power structure will seek the radical depopulation of the planet in the very near future through “scripted Armageddon”.Īccording with the doctor. He further claims that the “military industrial complex” consists of a power structure far beyond the reach of even the President of the United States and that such interests are planning a “cosmic false flag” event to deceive humanity and make it think that an alien invasion is taking place.

For example, you’ll be able to look at how we used a componentised architecture on our prefabs to separate out core movement, control, audio and peripheral visual effects. This project has multiple goals: the new samples will provide an example of good practice in terms of how they are put together. Angry Bots will still be available to download from the asset store, but having these lightweight prototype sample scenes will reduce the download and install size of Unity itself, and hopefully provide more useful material out of the box to help you get your projects started even faster than before. We’re including sample scenes where you can try these out, and our intention is that this collection of playable sample scenes will replace the existing “Angry Bots” project which is included in the current Unity installer. We've addressed some missing examples by adding a mecanim-based third-person character, some shuriken-based particle systems, and some simple AI systems, as well as improving and adding new samples such as a better first-person controller, cross platform input examples and even a few vehicles! The Sample Assets will still be bundled with the Unity installer, but the packages themselves will be linked to the asset store so that we can update them independently of new Unity editor releases.Īnd of course what’s in the packages themselves. ![]() We’re also going to improve the delivery method. ![]() There are a number of changes to look out for:įirstly, the name is now "Sample Assets" rather than "Standard Assets", which better reflects their purpose: to provide a collection of examples that can be used out-of-the-box, picked apart or expanded upon. We'd like you to have a play and give us feedback before we finally integrate it into Unity and replace the old Standard Assets. Hello! We're updating the "Standard Assets" packages that come bundled with Unity.īefore we finalise and integrate it with Unity itself, we're releasing a beta version for you to try out. * Added menu item in Cross Platform Input so user can choose between mobile/standalone input when testing in editor with a mobile build target selected. * Fixed camera in car scene, so loop-the-loop is possible! * Fix for first-person controller so it sticks to ground when running up/down slopes. * Character model (‘Ethan’) re-skinned, fixed bone weights, joint orientations and interactions, and blending errors. * Updated mobile particle effects for better performance. Has realistic fuzzy tracking of object, and auto zoom to fit target in view. * Added simple arcade style 2-axis aircraft control example. ![]() 1/12/2023 0 Comments Higgs monaghan![]() ![]() Thoughts are italics in quotations = ‘ Example’ Pairing : Higgs monaghan X Reader // Sam Bridges x Reader reader insert higgs monaghan x female reader insert higgs x fem reader Higgs x reader higgs monaghan x reader ds higgs monaghan death stranding higgs higgs x reader insert ds higgs x reader insert ds higgs ds higgs x reader higgs monaghan higgs monaghan oneshot higgs monaghan x reader insert death stranding death stranding fanfic death stranding x reader death stranding fanfiction Kojima Games Troy Baker higgs x female reader higgs monaghan x y/n higgs monaghan x f. “Jerk…” She breathed again, both hating, and loving him, both feelings melted together, not one existing without the other. ‘ Why did it have to be him?’ she wondered while she eyed him with glazed (e/c) colored eyes, nearly salivating at the sight of the man that both loved and humiliated at the same time. ![]() ‘ Of all the people scattered in the world…’ She started, watching as he made himself comfortable, the thick layers of clothing he wore removed in a way that was sensuous and teasing, Oh… I’ll fuck the absolute shit out of you.” He promised her and mindlessly, she quivered, reactive to everything he did, the woman affected by even the tone of his voice and the wonderful thickness that it possessed. “ And then…afterward,” he trailed off, a deep, low growl vibrating his chest, His lips pressed to her hairline before he drew back, standing back at his full height, one that seemed much more imposing as she was cut down to size by her position. ![]() With a snaking hand, then pressed his palm at the side of her face, holding her cheek as he hummed her name again, “Ah, Come on… I’m still willin’ to fuck ‘em,” He rasped, his upper body leaned down to her, breathing out her name in a way that made her heart drum even louder, the sound of his voice almost drowned out by the loud rhythm. “Y-You’re such a jerk…” She breathed, finally finding it in her to look up at him, her (e/c) colored eyes staring up at him pathetically, something that made his insides stir, “Talk to me,” He encouraged her, “Speak to Daddy.” Consequently, the bind that held her dug into her skin, making her grow even more agitated, His left hand’s index and middle finger strummed beneath her chin, the light, ticklish brush causing her to squirm. “ Oh darlin’, what’s with that face?” He said lowly, then pouting playfully as he watched her morph the lustful bliss she wore into a bit-lipped grimace. “…At least they’re cute,” he murmured with praise, caressing the little lump in his hand sweetly before his entire hand enveloped the small breast, soon retreating his fingers until they were all drawn to the center of the tender flesh, tugging the cute, little bud that stood out excitedly.Īnd at that, her back arched, unwillingly drawing in more for him, the action making him chuckle, the kittenish look in his eyes becoming even more prominent as he curled his lips into a satisfied, little grin, “ Well, “ he then muttered with contemplation, his blue eyes glued down, eyeing the meager bit of chest with a tight bite to his lower lip, Her arms were pressed together behind her back, the itchy rope tightly bound around her forearms in a way that made it impossible to pull them apart, leaving her with no choice but to expose herself to him, her heaving chest beautifully presented to him.Īs she took in a long, stilled breath, he released a low breath of his, She wanted to hide from him, and more than anything, obscure the sight of her small chest, but it wasn’t possible in the state she was now. Instead, she looked away, her (e/c) colored eyes eyeing her clothes that all lay scattered, each and every piece stretched and torn due to his impatience. His words were filled with mockery, but truly, he eyed every bit of her with nearly unblinking eyes, mesmerized by her exposed body in a way she hadn’t bothered to take in at the moment. “You’ve got worthless, lil’ tits,” he bitterly muttered, his gloved, right hand slapping the little perky set, causing them to perform a short-lived, yet, sweet little jump he eyed in a trance state. 1/12/2023 0 Comments Texmacs gmp medium![]() Expansion of NKAE Cells by Using Different aAPC CD45RA + mobilized fraction showed the lowest NK cells fold expansion (7.6 ± 4.2 fold) ( p = 0.011 compared to PBMC) and the highest B cells expansion this difference was statistically significant when compared to PBMCs (306.3 ± 79.9 fold) p = 0.014. Fold expansion of NK cells, NKT cells, T cells and B cells after 21 days are shown in Figure 6. Total cells at the beginning of the expansion are shown in Figure S1. CD45RA + cells from mobilized apheresis showed the lowest percentage of initial NK cells purity (1.7% ± 0.6%) followed by CD45RA + cells from non-mobilized apheresis (7.5% ± 2.5%) and PBMCs that had the highest basal percentage of NK cells (16.9% ± 2.7%). The basal (preculture) composition of the different starting cell products is shown in Figure 5. According to the NK cell purity data previously obtained, we used TexMACS growth medium for these expansions. To evaluate the feasibility of expanding NK cells using the CD45RA +-wasted fraction, we performed expansions from CD45RA + cells obtained after mobilized and non-mobilized apheresis and compared them with expansions using PBMCs. CD45RA + depleted fractions for DLI are obtained after non-mobilized apheresis. CD45RA + depleted grafts are usually obtained from healthy donors after pharmacologic mobilization of hematopoietic stem cells using G-CSF, although some other protocols use non-mobilized apheresis. CD45RA - cells can be infused into patients undergoing haploHSCT either as part of the graft, along with the mobilized CD34 + cells, or as donor lymphocyte infusions (DLI). On the contrary, CD45RA - memory T cells show decreased alloreactivity and lack naïve T cells, thus improving engraftment and protecting the recipient from infections. This fraction is depleted and discarded in some HSCT procedures to remove alloreactive T cells and reduce the risk of GvHD. ĬD45RA + cells are enriched in naïve T cells and NK cells. In general, ex vivo NKAE cells show an increased activation status and increased cytotoxicity, even responding against tumor targets apparently resistant to NK cell lysis. Nevertheless, ex vivo activated and expanded NK cells (NKAE) share some common features. They may differ in the addition of different cytokines, the source of NK cells used, or the coculture with distinct irradiated feeder or artificial antigen presenting cells (aAPC), among others. To overcome this limitation, different protocols have been designed to expand and activate NK cells ex vivo before transfer to the patient. ![]() However, activation status and NK cell numbers are low in the main sources of NK cells: PBMCs or umbilical cord blood units. One limitation of using NK cells as a therapeutic tool is that they have to be fully activated and have to be infused in large numbers to observe a clinical benefit. In fact, NK cell infusions are well tolerated, do not cause GvHD or autoimmunity and have been associated with complete remission in poor-prognosis patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Natural killer (NK) cells are lymphocytes from the innate immunity with the ability to recognize and target tumor cells without prior sensitization, making them ideal therapeutic agents to treat cancer. Conclusions: GMP-grade NK cells for clinical use can be obtained by using different starting cells and aAPC.ĭevelopment of new donor lymphocyte infusions products with antitumor reactivity and reduced graft-versus-host disease (GvHD) risk represents a challenging issue in cancer immunotherapy. Clinical-grade manufactured NKAE cells complied with the specifications from the Spanish Regulatory Agency. Transcriptome profile showed to be different between basal NK cells and NKAE cells expanded with K562mbIL21-41BBL or K562mbIL15-41BBL. However, no differences in activation and cytotoxicity were found when using either NK cell source or activating cell line. The highest fold expansion and NK purity were achieved by using PBMC and K562mbIL21-41BBL cells. ![]() Obtaining NKAE cells from CD45RA + cells was feasible although PBMC yielded higher total cell numbers and NK cell purity than CD45RA + cells. Results: NK MACS and TexMACs achieved the highest NK cell purity and lowest T cell contamination. Clinical-grade NKAE cells were manufactured in CliniMACS Prodigy. Fold increase, NK cell purity, activation status, cytotoxicity and transcriptome profile were analyzed. Activated and expanded NK cells (NKAE) were obtained by coculturing total peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) or CD45RA + cells with irradiated K562mbIL15-41BBL or K562mbIL21-41BBL. Methods: RPMI-1640, stem cell growth medium (SCGM), NK MACS and TexMACS were used as culture mediums. We report the optimization of an NK cell activation–expansion process and its validation on clinical-scale. Natural killer (NK) cells represent promising tools for cancer immunotherapy. ![]() |
