In the crime infested cities, Cobra takes advantage of every crisis available to them. The Cobras who do the Commanders bidding here are tougher, meaner, and more cruel than most of the others. They'll do anything to incite panic and violence, leaving the only way out for the people, being Cobra.
The Urban troops receive their latest mission details from their supervising Urban Guardsman. Each of them excited for the blood they'll get to spill.

Adazi Training Area, LATVIA – A Norwegian Soldier shouts commands to his squad during a battle simulation as part of the final day of the field training exercise at Saber Strike 2014 here, June 18, 2014. Saber Strike 2014 is a joint, multi-national military exercise scheduled for June 9- 20. The exercise spans multiple locations in Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia, and involves approximately 4,500 personnel from 10 countries. The exercise is designed to promote regional stability, strengthen international military partnerships, enhance multinational interoperability and prepare participants for worldwide contingency operations.

The 7 Sacraments | in the Celebration of the "Year for the Priests"
"Lord Jesus, present in the Most Blessed Sacrament, and living perpetually among us through Your Priests, grant that the words of Your Priests may be only Your words, that their gestures be only Your gestures, and that their lives be a true reflection of Your life." — Prayers for Priests

The Pallet Pavilion being deconstructed on my walk around the city to see what I may find April 15, 2014 Christchurch New Zealand.
The Pallet Pavilion was a transitional architecture project that functioned as a community space and venue for events.
The Corinthian order is the most ornate of the Greek orders, characterized by a slender fluted column having an ornate capital decorated with two rows of acanthus leaves and four scrolls. It is commonly regarded as the most elegant of the three orders. The shaft of the Corinthian order has 24 flutes. The column is commonly ten diameters high.
Designed by Callimachus, a Greek sculptor of the 5th century BC. The oldest known building to be built according to the Corinthian order is the Choragic Monument of Lysicrates in Athens. It was built in 335 to 334 BC The Corinthian order was raised to rank by the writings of the Roman writer Vitruvius in the 1st century BC.
Situated on the corner of Boldon Lane and Stanley Street, South Shields, the LAST ORDERS was pictured on July 12th 2012.

Descriptions and distribution maps of The 12 Soil Orders of Soil Taxonomy.
Distribution map of the twelve soil orders.
Soil scientists classify soils into groups much as biologists group plants and animals. Individual soils are grouped into series, series into families, and so on until the largest grouping is reached—that of orders.
How many orders does the soil have?
The United States Department of Agriculture recognizes 12 soil orders.
12 Soil Orders
All of the soils in the world can be assigned to one of just 12 soil orders: Gelisols, Histosols, Andisols, Oxisols, Vertisols, Alfisols, Aridisols, Inceptisols, Entisols, Mollisols, Spodosols, Ultisols.
What is the importance of knowing the 12 soil orders?
Soil Taxonomy is a soil classification system developed by the United States Department of Agriculture’s soil survey staff. This system is based on measurable and observable soil properties and was designed to facilitate detailed soil survey.
Soil orders and their characteristics
Gelisols
Soils of very cold climates that contain permafrost within 2 meters of the surface. These soils are limited geographically to the high-latitude polar regions and localized areas at high mountain elevations. Because of the extreme environment in which they are found, Gelisols support only ~0.4% of the world’s population – the lowest percentage of any of the soil orders.
Histosols
Soils that are composed mainly of organic materials. They contain at least 20-30% organic matter by weight and are more than 40 cm thick. Bulk densities are quite low, often less than 0.3 g cm3.
Andisols
Soils that have formed in volcanic ash or other volcanic ejecta. They differ from those of other orders in that they typically are dominated by glass and short-range-order colloidal weathering products such as allophane, imogolite, and ferrihydrite.
Oxisols
Very highly weathered soils that are found primarily in the intertropical regions of the world. These soils contain few weatherable minerals and are often rich in Fe and Al oxide minerals. Oxisols occupy ~7.5% of the global ice-free land area. In the US, they only occupy ~0.02% of the land area and are restricted to Hawaii.
Vertisols
Clay-rich soils that shrink and swell with changes in moisture content. During dry periods, the soil volume shrinks, and deep wide cracks form. The soil volume then expands as it wets up. This shrink/swell action creates serious engineering problems and generally prevents formation of distinct, well-developed horizons in these soils.
Alfisols
These gray to brown soils over clay subsoil are among the most fertile and productive soils in the country. They may require the addition of lime. Fertilizers and irrigation during dry periods will increase yields.
Aridisols
Soils are dry for long periods with only short periods of wetness, which reduces leaching and may allow accumulation of soluble salts. Arid conditions reduce plant growth and therefore also organic content. When irrigated and fertilized, soils may be very productive.
Inceptisols
Usually wet during the growing season, these young soils are greatly variable. They often produce well when amended.
Entisols
Soils of recent origin. The central concept is soils developed in unconsolidated parent material with usually no genetic horizons except an A horizon. All soils that do not fit into one of the other 11 orders are Entisols. Thus, they are characterized by great diversity, both in environmental setting and land use.
Many Entisols are found in steep, rocky settings. However, Entisols of large river valleys and associated shore deposits provide cropland and habitat for millions of people worldwide.
Mollisols
These dark, fertile soils of grasslands and some hardwood forests are relatively high in humus and nitrogen. They are highly productive but may need lime to correct acidity.
Spodosols
With a high sand content, these soils are usually moist and moderately to strongly acidic. Add lime and fertilizers.
Ultisols
Soils of humid warm regions, Ultisols are often acidic and heavily weathered. When managed well, they can be very productive. Fertilizing and liming are needed.
