Why not just keep things as they are? Why another hype initiative that is pushed through the organization to keep some people busy and give management something to worry about? That we would be successful in the long run, was by no means a given. While it seems pretty obvious today that in retrospective the transformation of our R&D organization towards Lean/Agile has been the right thing to push for, things had not been that obvious and easy when we started thinking about it. “Lean” and “Agile” is to a large extent about mindset, it’s a way of thinking. Also, we’ve meanwhile gained enough experience with Lean and Agile that we’re not completely flying blind any more and can rather quickly come up with incremental improvements. The good thing today is that we’ve reached a level of buy-in into the concepts and ideas within the organization at large that addressing and solving those issues is rather a question of when to tackle them rather than whether to tackle them at all. One has to acknowledge the fact that this transformation is rather a journey than a well-defined end state, a vision to strive for on a continuous basis rather than something that you “climb up once” and then sit back and enjoy.Įven 3 years into the journey, we’re still facing a number of concerns and areas we need to improve.

A recent report from the Death Penalty Information Center shows that since the death penalty resumed in 1977, 295 black defendants were executed for killing a white victim while only 21 white defendants were executed for the killing of a black victim (even though black people are disproportionately the victims of crime). Unfortunately, this drastic sentence for a black man is not an anomaly in America. Not to mention, Jones was given the death penalty without any irrefutable evidence that he was indeed the killer. Eleven of the twelve jurors on the case were white one of which referred to him as an “n-word” and suggested that Julius be taken behind the courthouse and shot. Jones’ arresting officer called him the “n-word” and taunted him, daring him to run and claiming he would shoot him if he did. The entire case was poisoned with racism from the start. With such compelling evidence pointing to Julius Jones’ innocence, why was he convicted as the murderer of Paul Howell instead of Christopher Jordan? His ill-prepared and inexperienced legal team failed to present any of this evidence or to call Julius or his family to the stand during his trial. Jones had a strong alibi: he was home with his family when the murder occured. Furthermore, multiple inmates (none of which know each other) who were incarcerated alongside Jordan claim that he confessed to framing Jones to receive a reduced sentence for himself. ![]() Jordan also matched the description of the killer, who had 1-2 inches of hair while Jones had a shaved head. Jones’s lawyers find it extremely likely that Jordan framed Jone, as Jordan could have easily planted the murder weapon as well as other incriminating evidence when visiting Jones’ family home shortly after the murder. It is likely that Jones was roped into a murder he had no part in by co-defendant Christopher Jordan, whose testimony heavily influenced the decision of the case.Ĭlaiming to be the getaway driver and not the triggerman, Christopher Jordan was also convicted in the murder of Paul Howell but served a reduced sentence and was released in 2014. Jones,19 at the time of the crime, claims the first time he saw Howell was on television after his death was reported. In 2002, Julius Jones was convicted of first-degree murder and sentenced to death for the killing of Paul Howell: a white man who was tragically shot and killed in his parent’s driveway on July 28, 1999. With 6 million Americans in support of his freedom, America begs for justice for Julius Jones. Furthermore, he claims that racism played a pivotal role in his conviction an argument substantiated by America’s longstanding history of racial discrimination in the justice system. Jones has maintained his innocence for 22 years, claiming that he received inadequate counsel and that the jury did not hear exculpatory evidence during the trial. Julius Jones is scheduled to be executed on November 18, 2021, for a crime he likely did not even commit. He also leaves a host of nieces, nephews, cousins, family and friends.In Oklahoma, justice is being subverted by racism.

Repeat casting this often if you fear losing aggro. ![]() Info: Your main tanking skill, pretty much pulls all attention of mobs onto you until they either die, you die, or a DPS class deals enough damage to pull the aggro away. Provoke – lv 8, 32mp, 12s cooldown Increases threat level by 1. The 2s cast time doesn’t help either, as it gives the target more time to run. I’ve never used it personally as any RM or DG that is decently skilled can take us out before we even get close. It can be useful in PvP if you’re not in move speed enchanted gear and the target is running. Recommendation: Not really useful in PvE as you’re a melee class. Damage raises slightly each level and the slow increases by 1 point, effect time and Demon/Undead damage do not change. It also does some additional damage to Demon an Undead type monsters. Info: A ranged skill that slows the target decently for a short time. Maybe useful for early grinding, but the points are better in Transference or a defensive skill.ĭivine Strike – lv 6, 41mp, 2s cooldown, 2s cast deals 68 physical damage and decreases move speed by 15 for 6 seconds, deals 150% damage to Demons/Undead Recommendation: I ignored this completely as the 2s cast time for such a minor heal just didn’t appeal to me. Info: It heals minor amounts of HP on yourself or a friendly target. Recover – lv 4, 53mp, 2s cooldown, 2s cast Heals for 116 hp The damage scaling is minor and it takes NINE whole skill points to raise the stun time to 4 seconds, not really worth it. Recommendation: The one point you’re forced into the skill is more then enough. This is the starter skill, so the single point in it isn’t removable. Info: Deals minor damage and causes stun like it says. Shield bash – lv 1, 18mp, 12s cooldown deals 26 physical damage and stuns for 3 seconds Aika Online Paladin and Templar Skills Guide by surtic151 Time Doctor is perfect for remote and hybrid teams alike.

Connect it to a Synology DX517 Expansion Unit, and you’ll have the potential to add up to 144TB of storage. With four tool-free drive bays, it can accommodate up to 64TB of internal storage and support multiple RAID configurations, including Synology’s Hybrid RAID (SHR). The DS920+ earns high marks for its speedy file transfer performance, easy installation, and expandability options.
