Sins of our Ancestors: The Resistance (OOC)

(An RP that I created not too long ago...)

Sins of our Ancestors: The Resistance

"After decades of fighting and war, the humanity caused their fall themselves.
In year 2017, the world that was known perished in the flames of heaven as the "Angels" arrived to the earth.
"Angels", so they called themselves even thought they didn't resemble the angels we knew in slightest.
These Angels were demonic creatures leading an army of undead with them, they were gigantic beasts destroying the lands and buring the cities that humans had built and tried to protect from each other for so long. The Angels destroyed them in few weeks after arriving on the Earth. After the destruction of all major cities, the Angels darkened the sky with some strange substance, creating a gloomy, blood red sky over us... What is it there for...?"

*By an Unknown historican, 15.09.2017*

***

Now, in year 2067, 50 years after the first attack of the Angels, the humanity, or what was left of it, has managed to regroup in secret. There are small settlements all around the world in which the Humans gather for protection or supplies even thought the settlements are attacked by undeads once in the month, killing the fourth of the people living there.

Now, the children who were born aftet the attack of the Angels have merged strange powers due of the bloody air and are capable of fighting against the Undead as well as protect the settlements, even thought in the end the Undead always win...
Until this day...
Groups of human have started to move, hoping to defeat the Angels who command the Undead armies in order to secure the humanity's safety...
They are all been called by a strange voice that gives them hope and courage. Is there still hope for the humans or is it doomed to be banished into the fires of Hell?

Your Part

After the destruction of all big cities and the death of majority of humans there are only small settlements in which refugees live. And one of those we begin our story.

The Black Forest in germany, now called "Schwarze Felder", "Black Fields" due of the black ash from the burnt trees. Here, a small settlement is built near the destroyed city of Freiburg, an old unversity city. In the camp live about 5000 people and it is again the time in month in which the Undead attack them.
The attack started the same time as usual, directly after the sun had settled. The defenders were prepared to fight against the Undead and even repelled attack after attack.
Only... like every time, at the midnight, the Undead started to push throught the defences. It was like they were getting more and more as well as their strenght grew stronger all the time as the time passed destroying the camp and killing the fourth of the people there...

As the sun rises, you awaken in the ruins of the camp. All around you are corpses and ash of the Undead who died during the night.
You are sick of fighting this useless war against the Undead who cannot be defeated, no matter how much you try.
You have been fighting for all your life, as long as you can remember, there has been a red sky over you and the Undead have attacked you every month. You have always heard about failed attempst to attack an Angel as well as people trying to rebuild a destroyed city getting killed.
You are sick of it as well as you are sick of your own weakness not even be able to defend the persons you love.
Then, wounded and broken you hear a voice inside your head, it's a female voice that calls for you;

"Ohhh... You feel so weak and helpless, don't you? You are sad about all the friends you lost and angry to the Angels as they destroyed your life, aren't you? What would you do if you had the power to stand up and fight? Would you avange your family and friends or would you just seek the thrill of battle? What would yu do if I had the power to help you? Would you come to meet me, or would you ignore me, the one known as Iregana?! You will find me in the 'Erased Mountains'...
Soooo come and seek for me if you have the courage for it! Hahahahahahaaaa!!!"
Then the voice disappeared, leaving you lying on the ground.

The Plot

You are a survivor of an Undead Attack toward the settlement in the Black Fields. You are a person born under the red sky and so you are capable of having somekind of a special power which is determinated by the time you were born.
The powers are divided in five categories according the time of the day:

Dawn: (2a.m - 6a.m) = The persons born during the earlist hours of the day have been granted the powers to control the course of the day. They mostly have powers that has something to do with light, fire and life.
Sunrise: (7a.m - 11a.m) = Those born after the sun has risen have the power of the great Star. They have enchanted physical capabilities making them stronger, faster, more durable than normal humans.
Midday: (12a.m - 4p.m) = Those born as the sun shorches the most trought the red mist are blessed with the treasures of the earth. They have powers that resemble the element of earth, plants and air.
Dusk: (5p.m - 9p.m) = Those who were born as the air started to chill decide over the next sunrise. They use the powers of water, ice and confusing powers.
Midnight: (10p.m - 1a.m) = Those born as the night is deepest are the masters over those who no longer have the will to decide. They control the powers of darkness, death and pain.

The game is taking part in a post apocalyptic scenario where there is no more modern technology, or only scraps of it. The weaponary is mostly swords and bows but there are also some people who have managed to get their hands into modern guns or they have made some themselves. The guns made are old-fashioned weapons from the time of the 1. WW but the weapons that have been found are weapons of today (notice that it has been 50 years since the arrival of the Angels so there won't be any original ammunition left and most of the weapons have been modified.).

Note: The Erased Mountains are the Alps which were destroyed by the Angels as they attacked.

Economic growth, or a slowdown in US productivity?

Economic growth, or a slow down in overall productivity? Analyst Karlsson argues that what many economists had announced as an uptick in employment growth late last year and early this year was actually a slowing of US productivity.

By Stefan Karlsson,?Guest blogger / May 31, 2012

President Barack Obama pauses in White House on his way to sign the reauthorization of the Export-Import Bank Act of 2012 on May 30, 2012. Karlsson argues that what many economists heralded as an uptick in economic growth last year was actually a slowing down of US productivity.

It now appears that there wasn't much of a growth acceleration in the US after all. Terms of trade adjusted GDP rose a mere 1.2% at an annualized rate and national income was only slightly stronger during the first quarter.

This means that the somewhat higher employment growth we saw during late last year and early this year didn't really reflect as most people thought, an acceleration of economic growth from the "so low it feels like a recession" level that the "Obama recovery" of the last three years has been characterized by. Instead it simply reflected a decline in productivity

BOSTON (AP) ? A battle over a federal law that defines marriage as a union between a man and a woman appears headed for the Supreme Court after an appeals court ruled Thursday that denying benefits to married gay couples is unconstitutional.

In a unanimous decision, the three-judge panel of the 1st U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Boston said the 1996 law deprives gay couples of the rights and privileges granted to heterosexual couples.

The court didn't rule on the law's more politically combustible provision ? that states without same-sex marriage cannot be forced to recognize gay unions performed in states where it's legal. It also wasn't asked to address whether gay couples have a constitutional right to marry.

The law was passed at a time when it appeared Hawaii would legalize gay marriage. Since then, many states have instituted their own bans on gay marriage, while eight states have approved the practice, led by Massachusetts in 2004.

The court, the first federal appeals panel to rule against the benefits section of the law, agreed with a lower court judge who in 2010 concluded that the law interferes with the right of a state to define marriage and denies married gay couples federal benefits given to heterosexual married couples, including the ability to file joint tax returns. The ruling came in two lawsuits, one filed by the Boston-based legal group Gay & Lesbian Advocates & Defenders (GLAD) and the other by state Attorney General Martha Coakley.

"For me, it's more just about having equality and not having a system of first- and second-class marriages," said plaintiff Jonathan Knight, a financial associate at Harvard Medical School who married Marlin Nabors in 2006.

"I think we can do better, as a country, than that," said Knight, a plaintiff in the GLAD lawsuit.

Knight said the Defense of Marriage Act costs the couple an extra $1,000 a year because they cannot file a joint federal tax return.

Opponents of gay marriage blasted the decision.

"This ruling that a state can mandate to the federal government the definition of marriage for the sake of receiving federal benefits, we find really bizarre, rather arrogant, if I may say so," said Kris Mineau, president of the Massachusetts Family Institute.

Since Congress passed the law, eight states have approved gay marriage, including Massachusetts, Connecticut, New York, Iowa, New Hampshire, Vermont, Maryland, Washington state and the District of Columbia. Maryland and Washington's laws are not yet in effect and may be subject to referendums.

Last year, President Barack Obama announced that the Department of Justice would no longer defend the constitutionality of the law. After that, House Speaker John Boehner convened the Bipartisan Legal Advisory Group to defend it. The legal group argued the case before the appeals court.

White House spokesman Jay Carney said the appeals court ruling is "in concert with the president's views." Obama, who once opposed gay marriage, declared his unequivocal personal support on May 9.

Carney wouldn't say whether the government would actively seek to have the law overturned if the case goes before the Supreme Court.

"I can't predict what the next steps will be in handling cases of this nature," Carney said.

The 1st Circuit said its ruling would not be enforced until the Supreme Court decides the case, meaning that same-sex married couples will not be eligible to receive the economic benefits denied by the law until the high court rules.

That's because the ruling only applies to states within the circuit ? Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Maine and New Hampshire ? and Puerto Rico. Only the Supreme Court has the final say in deciding whether a law passed by Congress is unconstitutional.

Until Congress passed the law, "the power to define marriage had always been left to individual states, the appeals court said in its ruling.

"One virtue of federalism is that it permits this diversity of governance based on local choice, but this applies as well to the states that have chosen to legalize same-sex marriage," Judge Michael Boudin wrote for the court. "Under current Supreme Court authority, Congress' denial of federal benefits to same-sex couples lawfully married in Massachusetts has not been adequately supported by any permissible federal interest."

Several times in its ruling, the appeals court noted that the case will probably end up before the high court, at one point saying, "only the Supreme Court can finally decide this unique case."

Carl Tobias, a constitutional law professor at the University of Richmond, said the court kept its ruling narrow, declaring unconstitutional only the section of the law on federal benefits. Although supporters and opponents of gay marriage may depict the ruling as the beginning of the end of the law, he said, the Supreme Court is likely to limit its ruling to the benefits issue as well.

"I think lawyers could argue that the arguments are equally applicable to the other sections of the law, but you have to stretch. You have to take those out of the context in which it's being applied, and I don't think the court will do that," Tobias said.

During arguments before the court last month, a lawyer for gay married couples said the law amounted to "across-the-board disrespect." The couples argued that the power to define and regulate marriage had been left to the states for more than 200 years before Congress passed the law.

Paul Clement, a Washington, D.C., attorney who defended the law on behalf of the Bipartisan Legal Advisory Group, argued that Congress had a rational basis for passing the Defense of Marriage Act in 1996, when opponents worried that states would be forced to recognize gay marriages performed elsewhere.

The group said Congress wanted to preserve a traditional and uniform definition of marriage and has the power to define terms used to federal statutes to distribute federal benefits.

"But we have always been clear we expect this matter ultimately to be decided by the Supreme Court, and that has not changed," he said in a statement.

Two of the three judges who decided the case Thursday were Republican appointees, while the other was a Democratic appointee. Boudin was appointed by President George H.W. Bush. Judge Juan Torruella was appointed by President Ronald Reagan. Chief Judge Sandra Lynch is an appointee of President Bill Clinton.

In California, two federal judges have found this year that the law violates the due-process rights of legally married same-sex couples.

In the most recent case, a judge found the law unconstitutional because it denies long-term health insurance benefits to legal spouses of state employees and retirees. The judge also said a section of the federal tax code that makes the domestic partners of state workers ineligible for long-term care insurance violates the civil rights of people in gay and lesbian relationships.

Oracle v. Google: Judge finds structure of Java APIs not copyrightable, renders jury infringement verdict moot

Thought the Oracle v. Google litigation fireworks were over? Well, if you weren't aware, during the copyright phase of the trial, the jury found that Google had infringed the structure, sequence and organization of Oracle's Java APIs. However, at the time, Judge Alsup had yet to evaluate the validity of Oracle's API copyright claims upon which that verdict was based. Today, Alsup found that Oracle's argument didn't hold water because it would expand the breadth of copyright holder's rights too far -- in essence, it would allow owners of software code to prevent others from writing different versions to perform the same functions. This ruling renders the jury's earlier infringement verdict moot, and gives Mountain View yet another courtroom victory. Despite this latest defeat, Oracle's sure to run the case up one more rung on the legal ladder, so let the countdown to the appeal begin.
