Profiteers have marketed dubious awards to students, parents, and schools for decades without raising eyebrows. Hoping to boost their children’s chances for admission, some wealthy parents are willing to spend millions of dollars, whether through legal gifts to university endowments or illegal payments to consultants and university staff, as we saw in the Varsity Blues scandal.īut for all the shock and outrage that Varsity Blues has generated, the scandal shouldn’t have come as a surprise. Nowhere is that more evident than in the fierce competition to get into prestigious colleges (Lou & Griggs 2019 Steele, 2019). However, one doesn’t have to look far to realize that some students have better chances than others. We in the United States want to believe all students will be given equal educational opportunities - that impulse informs the name of such laws as the Every Student Succeeds Act.

Constitution requires due process in the formulation and application of laws. Would the “hidden inside its handle” element eliminate automatic knives with folding blades? Does the use of the word “fly” limit it to “ballistic knives”?Īnother English language dictionary defines the term “switchblade” as “a knife with a blade hidden inside its handle that springs out when a button is pressed.” While the blade of out-the-front knives is often hidden inside the handle when closed, the blades of pivoting or folding knives are almost always discernible when closed. The adopted definition for “dirk” is “a long, straight-bladed dagger or a short sword.” An online search reveals an inconsistent alternative definition of “a short dagger of a kind formerly carried by Scottish Highlanders.” Which is it? Long or short? The adopted “Webster’s” definition of “switchblade” is “a pocketknife having the blade spring-operated so that pressure on a release catch causes it to fly open.” Axe heads occasionally “fly off the handle.” With the rare exception of “ballistic knives,” knife blades do not “fly” unless thrown by the user. The dictionary definitions adopted by the court were an improvement over the extremely indefinite – sharp edge(s) and a point – standard mentioned in Richards v. Commonwealth 673 S.E.2d 469 (2009) turned to “Webster’s Third New International Dictionary” for relief from the longstanding uncertainty problem during which some Virginia courts defined “dirk” as any knife with two sharp edges and a point, while a “bowie” was a knife with one sharp edge and a point per Richards v. ![]() That same year, the Virginia Supreme Court in Thompson v. Since that date, our Supreme Court and this Court have considered the applicability of §18.2–308(A) to various types of knives on no fewer than ten separate occasions, and the only consistency in the conclusions reached has been inconsistency. the Court concluded that a pocketknife was “neither a dirk, bowie knife … nor a weapon of like kind.” . In 1998 our Supreme Court was first called upon to determine which bladed weapons fell within the scope of the statute. Commonwealth 686 S.E.2d 525 – involving what was said to be a scuba diving knife – a Virginia Court of Appeals judge wrote about the difficulties with the statute, which by then was 160 years old:Īpparently, at that time, a mere thirteen years after the death of the designer of one of the knives in question, Colonel James Bowie, Virginians did not have much trouble differentiating this weapon, or weapons like it, from more utilitarian knives such as hunting knives.īy the end of the twentieth century, however, that recognition had apparently faded. razor, or (v) any weapon of like kind as those enumerated in this subsection, he is guilty of a Class 1 misdemeanor.Ī few more recent items, such as automatic and ballistic knives, have been added, and the “habitually” qualifier has been removed.

The current version, 18.2-308, now provides in pertinent part: A few minor changes have been made in the years since. The Virginia legislature passed a law in 1849 that made it unlawful to “habitually carry about hid from common observation any pistol, dirk, bowie knife or weapon of like kind.” The use of the adverb “habitually” is consistent with the concealed carry anti-dueling measures of that era.

It says New Yorkers of color are targeted. The Legal Aid Society issued a report on caseload data for gravity knife arrests and prosecutions between January and June of 2018.

![]() ![]() Something to think about: instead of 'int' values, you could just have a unique Color value for each boat and that would determine the color of the line and the color to follow. Then have the boats only follow lines that have the same value in its field. When creating the line objects for the boats, have the value of that field in the line take on the same value as the boat that is to follow it. Give each boat a different value for that field. In other words, add an instance 'int' field to the Boat class and to the Line class. You could have your line actors and the boat that follow them both hold a key number where the boat will only follow lines with the same number that it has. Using an array or separate classes would both work, but neither is really necessary. ![]() I am sure there are several ways to accomplish that, since you are using actors. The width of the image of the line object can be more than one to avoid skipping over it (the line drawn on the image can still be of width one) A continuous check to see if more than one line is intersected should be made to jump from one line to the next. This process would probably require more fields in the Ship class (one for the line it is currently on and one for its offset from the center of that line). Your ships can then find the appropriate line by the color they hold, take on their rotation, follow them from back to front and change to the next line. The lines should also hold the color value given them. These lines can be created horizontal (from left to right) with the appropriate length, placed halfway between the last and current location of the mouse and turned the appropriate angle using 'Math.atan2'. If you add three instance 'int' fields to the class your mouse 'drag' detection is at (one to hold the drawing mouse button and the other two to hold the coordinates the mouse was last at), you can then set all three fields when a mouse button is pressed for each mouse drag event and for the final mouse clicked event, you can create a line actor to 'connect' the last location to the current one and save the current one. If you create an actor at every pixel between those currently being created, you will end up with quite a few actors, and this may cause some lag. With the method you are using now, you are getting large gaps when the mouse is moved quickly. The title of this discussion should be more like 'Making a line for an actor to follow'. Keep in mind that I'm a beginning programmer and this is all self-taught. ![]() The movement isn't really natural at the moment, since ships generally don't drift Need for Speed-style through ports.Īny other general suggestions that would improve this project would be nice. How to align the ship so that it doesn't stay slightly diagonal when following a straight horizontal line after taking a turn up/downwards. Any suggestions on making the objects spawn more rapidly or how to connect them so they form a solid line would be awesome. Maybe I should be using a different method than a seperate actor that guides the boats, but this was the only option that came to mind. How to make the line of objects solid when I move the mouse too quickly. I have a few things that are bothering me and I can't quite figure out though When you drag your mouse, it creates a line of objects and if the first node is within range of the right boat, it will start moving along the line, constantly removing a line object and orienting on the next. Right now I'm using a different line object actor that creates a new instace on mouse click (left for a blue line, red for a red line, the appropriately colored ship will rotate and move towards the closest guide object). So I'm trying to make a game similar to Flight Control where a user draws a line to guide an Actor along a path. ![]() ![]() ![]() This bundled all of the DLC characters into the base roster, added better support for Steam Workshop (on the Steam version only), and added more modes.
