Like the morning before TJ was Tord's alarm clock. By sitting on him.

Oof! Really? Tord groaned.

You my seat now. TJ said as Tord checked the time.

It was just getting 5 but Corporal Aunan is very keen on being early.

He groaned getting up and getting changed (TJ dressed himself).

Edd walked to the living room drinking a cola.

Tord slipped it away the can.

Hey, What are you... Tord got an elbow to the stomach. Tord groaned as Edd took back the cola. TJ laughed so hard he was on the floor. Tord managed to swallow the cola.

It was that funny, TJ. Tord said.

Touch my cola again and you'll get far worst then that. Edd said.

It wasn't that, I didn't want to choke. Tord said.

Sure, pal. Don't touch my cola. Edd said.

That's how most of the clones died. Edd blow the Edd clone who took the last cola's head with a shot gun then most of the clones died. You got lucky. TJ said as he paddled to put up

Then how are you still here? Edd said.

Simple, I told Edd to run and ran also getting shot in the shoulder by that asshole. Then Edd found me and helped. I'm Indebted to him. So I want to go back! TJ said.

I know you been saying that since you could talk! Anyways, we'll be back late again. Hopefully we finish today because I want it too. Also the radio will be deemed useless to you because we'll be talking in code in it because there's a group listing. Also... Tom walked in Tord grabbed him and sat him in the chair.

STAY! Tord said.

Really? Tom said.

Yes, you embarrassed me yesterday! Tord said.

And tipped my water bottle to spill on me getting me all wet! TJ said.

What? Tom! Edd said as Tord slipped on his boots.

Yeah, yeah. Tom said

Wait, no breakfast? TJ said in Norwegian popping up beside him.

We'll eat when we get there. Tord said in Norwegian.

Glad to know you just crash here and do I don't... Do what you did your first few days? Anyways, see you. Tord interrupted.

You will call like you did yesterday? Edd said.

Yep, stay out of trouble. Tord said and slipped out the door. About to run to vehicle but like he was looking at a mirror their was a man with light brown hair burgundy button up. Jeans and shoes.

Um, hi. You must be Tod? The man said in an American accent stopping Tord.

I'm Tord. There's an R in my name.Tord said trying to leave but he fallowed him from the other side of the fence

I'm Todd... you have an accent?He said.

I'm Norwegian. Tord said wanting to be left alone

Obviously. I'm American. From Texas. Your part of the military. I'm actually part of the Navy. I just came back yesterday. Todd said

I would like to talk but I'm going to be late. I have to go. Tord said trying to keep his cool (but he wanted to punch him so badly) buckling TJ who stared at Todd.

Yeah, alright. I don't want to have bad blood like the others. Todd said.

Me nether. Tord said as Corporal Aunan voice told him to hurry up (he was acting early since the sun was just rising.

I'm coming. He said in Norwegian.

I would be careful, there are zombies around, don't want you to turn into one. Tord said getting in.

Ah, good to know. Todd said.

Tord drove off.

Tord lit a cigarette and got out .

I thought you were cutting back. TJ said as he opened the door to find the three year old standing there before hoping down to the ground.

Talking to that guy, I needed one. Tord sighed getting yelled at by Corporal Aunan again. Tord put out the cigarette and entered with TJ paddling at his side.

Morning. that woman behind the desk said with a smile.

Morning, Anne. TJ said, Tord raising an eye brow at him. This was the first time he entered the hotel.

Oh my God! Aren't you a little cutie!? "Anne" said as they walked away

do I even want to know? Tord said to TJ who looked up.

about what? Uppies. TJ said as they came to stairs.

Tord rolled his eyes and picked him up and went to the room knocking a secret knock before being let in.

Your early. Private Hermansen said giving Corporal Aunan a look.

They sat together and came up the code before eating at the dinner down stairs (yes, Tord got his bacon) before going out in the same formation as the day before even TJ getting his handgun again, they even parked in shade for TJ and the Lieutenant which helped TJ because he's could shoot into the forest himself.

They rarely used the radio and there weren't any sign of the other group up until 3 pm. When TJ gave a warning of seeing "evil Tord" (yep, there's goes the last of Tord's reputation)

They did it and even found the second half of the plane.

The were supposed to leave until they found the tires of the semi destroyed.

Great!

They hide the equipment. Tord and TJ (after trying to get a hold of Edd) returned back to Edd's place.

I'm back! Tord called and TJ put on the news after taking off his shoes and little black jacket.

Edd? Tord said looking in his room finding no Edd. Matt? No Matt. Tom? No Tom.

Where did they... there was a note.

Tord,

Went out for groceries. I figured we'd get more food after TJ commented on our bread (which was pretty gross) and I realized we had no bacon or cola! :(

We'll try to come home as fast as we could.

Edd

Ps. I got Tom under my and Matt's watchful eyes.

Oh, ok. Tord said with a sigh before realizing... this isn't Edd's handwriting.

Oh? TJ said popping up beside him on a chair.

Hello, Tord. He heard his own voice say.

What did you do!? See he evil! You always dobt me but he's bad! TJ said fleeing to the TV popping up nto front of it as Tord watched the screen trying to listen.

Basically "I have your friends! Never seeing them again." Blah, blah, blah.

Tord! What are we going to do? TJ said as Tord walked down the hall moving a framed photograph (he was glad they hadn't found it) revealing lever.

What are you doing? TJ said climbing up Tord to sit on his back as Tord pulled the lever.

A hissing sound came from Tom's room. Tord watched as the wall opened revealing his old lab.

Tord walked to it and slipped behind the computer and after some typing. A map of the world came up before zooming into London then a dot showed up in building that looked like a warehouse.

Putting a tracker on Tom came in handy... surprised he hadn't noticed after all these years. Tord said with a shrug before looked to TJ picking up the toddler glancing at Blue prints of a monster, he doesn't remember why he did it but he did. With lasting consequences but that's for future Tord to worry about.

It could be a trap. TJ said as Tord closed his lab again.

I wouldn't be surprised. Tord said taking more weapons and changing his clothes to all black (his old black coat with t-shirt under it and black camo and lighter boots that did clomp) as did TJ but this is one mission he'll not be part of... but also he can't leave him.

Tord slipped out with TJ on his back and ran to the vehicle and drove off the neighbors were out but Tord was in the mood he needed to save his friends.

Svalbard Global Seed Vault with a glittering facade designed by artist Dyveke Sanne, Svalbard, Norway © Pal Hermansen/Minden Pictures

Even nature needs a backup plan… This glittering concrete monolith is a lot like that still-sealed emergency survival kit languishing in your basement since 1999: Reassuring to have around, but a bummer when you actually have to use it. The Svalbard Global Seed Vault—better known by its cute nickname, the 'Doomsday Vault'—was established on this far-northern Norwegian isle in 2008 to archive frozen genetic copies of seeds already housed in seed banks around the world: a backup of all the backups. Kept at minus 0.4 degrees F within the seed vault, precious botanicals from food to fibers to flowers are safe from disasters, even of the apocalyptic variety. Lucky us: It'll take a healthy diet of veggies to fight off the zombies.

But hey, doomsday can wait. Today is Seed Swap Day, an event encouraging horticulture buffs to propagate positivity by trading their favorite species and strains. So, no matter how green your thumb, try to get your hands on some new seeds today—let's plant a future where this Arctic chamber can stay good and sealed.

Webfoot Technologies

Webfoot Technologies is a developer company of video games for different platforms and personal computer games. Popular games they developed are different Dragon Ball Z games and Hello Kitty: Happy Party Pals for the Game Boy Advanced. Moreover, the company is most popular for the Dragon Ball Z series for the Game Boy Advance. All the games in the series were published by Atari and Infogrames. In those published games, Dragon Ball Z: The Legacy of Goku Series, which proved to be best-selling game of the series, is included. In addition, the company has also created other games based on famous licenses in which American Girl, Tonka, Fear Factor, Phil Mickelson Golf and The Legend of Korra are included.

youtube

The company’s history goes back to 1993, during the early days of the internet, when it was founded by Pascal Pochol and Dana Dominiak. The original magazine of games included mostly DOS-oriented games. However, sometime later they managed it to expand to Microsoft Windows and eventually to Palm Pilot, Apple Macintosh and handheld platforms like Nintendo DS and Game Boy Advance. The first game the company ever developed for Microsoft Windows was Deadly Rooms of Death which was created by Erik Hermansen.

American Girl

Earlier in this article we’ve mentioned that the company has developed games not only for DOS, but for many platforms including handheld devices. American Girl: Kit Mystery Challenge is one of the games they developed for the Nintendo DS. The Kit Mystery Challenge is the 6th game in the series. It’s entirely coded by Webfoot Technologies and was published in 2008 by THQ. Moreover, this game is brought to the players as a mystery-solving game. However, this version doesn’t offer multiplayer component unlike other versions. In addition, core gameplay includes elements of mystery-solving where players are being presented in a third-person view.

According to some reports, the company currently has 19 employees and is located in Lemont, Illinois, United States. The CEO of the company is Dana Dominiak and Pascal Pochol is the Dir of Engineering.

They sat together and came up the code before eating at the dinner down stairs (yes, Tord got his bacon) before going out in the same formation as the day before even TJ getting his handgun again, they even parked in shade for TJ and the Lieutenant which helped TJ because he's could shoot into the forest himself.

They rarely used the radio and there weren't any sign of the other group up until 3 pm. When TJ gave a warning of seeing "evil Tord" (yep, there's goes the last of Tord's reputation)

A hissing sound came from Tom's room. Tord watched as the wall opened revealing his old lab.

Tord walked to it and slipped behind the computer and after some typing. A map of the world came up before zooming into London then a dot showed up in building that looked like a warehouse.

Putting a tracker on Tom came in handy... surprised he hadn't noticed after all these years. Tord said with a shrug before looked to TJ picking up the toddler glancing at Blue prints of a monster, he doesn't remember why he did it but he did. With lasting consequences but that's for future Tord to worry about.

It could be a trap. TJ said as Tord closed his lab again.

I wouldn't be surprised. Tord said taking more weapons and changing his clothes to all black (his old black coat with t-shirt under it and black camo and lighter boots that did clomp) as did TJ but this is one mission he'll not be part of... but also he can't leave him.

Duck, duck. duck, duck, duck... When king eider males line up in a dandy display like this, it's likely because they're courting a hen (or what birders call a 'queen eider'). These colorful drakes aren't your regular ducks. They're sea ducks, a group that includes several large duck species that feed off the coast in salt water. As you can see, male king eiders have striking multicolored plumage and yellow-knobbed beaks that resemble crowns. They, and the less-ornate brown females, make their home in the frigid waters along the Arctic coasts of northern Europe, North America, and Asia.

Most of the year, king eiders congregate in large flocks at sea, resting on ice floes, swimming, and diving as deep as 80 feet underwater to feed on crustaceans, mollusks, and other prey. But as the summer breeding season draws near, these ducks will migrate even farther north in smaller numbers to the Arctic tundra, where they'll nest. This row of earnest males was photographed along the northeast coast of Norway, close on the webbed heels of a lovely hen.
