Oscars 2019 visual effects: Five nominees, one winner!
February 25, 2019 February 25, 2019 VFX, Animation, Filmmaking
The 91st Academy Awards finally took off with splendour. The awards ceremony presented by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS) has honoured the best films of 2018 in 24 categories including Popular Film, Visual Effects (VFX), Animated Feature Film, Cinematography, Costume Design, and Film Editing. Oscars 2019 was held on February 24 at Dolby Theatre in Hollywood, Los Angeles, California.
The nominees had been announced quite some time back and the wait by filmmakers, actors, and individuals from the film fraternity for the big day is finally over. As the 91st Academy Awards wrapped with all grandeur, applause, and smiles, let us take a look at the winner in the Best Visual Effects (VFX) category:
Ryan Gosling starrer 'First Man', a film based on Neil Armstrong's 1969 Moon Landing, the first man to step in to the moon, won the Oscar for the best visual effects. The award for First Man went to VFX supervisor Paul Lambert along with Ian Hunter, Tristan Myles and J.D. Schwalm.
From LED screens and models and miniatures to practical stunts, sets, and restored archived footage and invisible effects, Oscar-winner Damien Chazelle's 'First Man' beautifully projected the use of visual effects in a 21st century film. Damien Chazelle even went to the extreme to redefine shooting in-camera for the film. All these have gone into making 'First Man' not only a strong contender but also the winner for best visual effects in Oscars 2019.

This American science fiction film produced and directed by Steven Spielberg is said to be the most difficult film after his 'Saving Private Ryan'. The film is set in 2045, the era when people can enter into a digital universe and do whatever they want, go wherever they want, and be whoever they want to be. A significant part of the film was shot in a virtual space based on the Overlook Hotel in 'The Shining'. The actors portrayed real-life roles while bringing out their avatar counterparts at the same time. This was made possible because of two things, computer animation and motion capture.

" I'm not just powerful now. I am power. And I don't need a blade to end you, pal. Bye, bye, Dean. "
— Lucifer's last words
in Let the Good Times Roll
Lucifer, also known as The Devil, Light Bringer, The Morning Star, and Satan, was the second of the four Archangels created by God and was his favorite son. He is also a fallen archangel and the first fallen angel. He is the original ruler of Hell and the creator of demons, seen by them as a father figure and their god.[2][3] As the second-born Archangel, he is the younger brother of Michael and the older brother of Raphael and Gabriel and the biological father to his son Jack.
He is a recurring character, the main antagonist of Season 5, one of the two main antagonists of Season 12 and Season 13 and the secondary antagonist of Season 7 and Season 11.
According to Gabriel, Lucifer is, or at least was, God's favorite and most beloved celestial, but when God asked for all angels to bow down to humanity, Lucifer refused both out of jealousy and wounded pride over being commanded to bow to what he saw as a broken, flawed, and murderous species and no longer feeling he was God's favorite creation.[4] This was caused by the Mark of Cain corrupting him and boosting his dislike towards humanity.[5] He waged a war against God but was eventually cast out of Heaven by Michael, and later banished to Hell by Michael, both times on God's command. All of Azazel's actions were motivated with the goal of eventually releasing Lucifer from his cage in Hell.[3]
Like all other angels, Lucifer must have the permission of a strong enough human to use as his vessel, as he can not forcefully possess a person. Being an archangel, Lucifer possesses much more power than any normal angel, every pagan god, and also every demon and species of monster, most of whom deify him, thus being among the most powerful entities the Winchesters have ever encountered.[6] But his power causes regular vessels to decay and required to drink vast amounts of demon blood or possess either his true vessel (Sam) or an alternate more stable vessel (Castiel).
Eventually, he was finally freed and allowed to roam the Earth when the final seal (the death of Lilith) was broken by Sam.[3]
Freed from his cage, he took action to bring about the Apocalypse and cleanse the Earth (aka "The last perfect handiwork of God") of human beings (the flawed creation). Even after Lucifer was able to possess Sam Winchester, his true vessel, Sam's love for his brother Dean allowed Sam to regain control of his body, and seal himself, Lucifer, Michael, and Adam back in Lucifer's Cage.[7]
After the release of Amara about five years later, the cage was damaged and Lucifer (whilst he still couldn't leave it) began reaching out to Sam to get him to return to Hell and release Lucifer so he could return to the world, working with Rowena to achieve this. Though Sam refused, Castiel said "yes" and Lucifer returned to the world in Castiel's body.
After reconciling with God, Lucifer joined him, Sam, and Dean in an attack to defeat Amara. However, Amara, not wanting to be re-imprisoned, overpowered God and in her rage, she pulled Lucifer from Castiel's body when he went to attack her and help his father. It is unknown where he was banished but he survived and was able to take possession of Vince Vincente, an aging musician. After the death of Vince, Lucifer began seeking out vessels with power and influence, culminating in President Jefferson Rooney. Lucifer was eventually exorcised from Rooney and returned to his Cage, but not before he conceived a Nephilim with Kelly Kline. It was later revealed that Crowley perverted the spell so that Lucifer became his prisoner in the body of Nick once more. Later, however, Lucifer (with the help of a demon) is able to turn the tables on Crowley and seemingly kills him. He then reclaims his position as Ruler of Hell and sets off to find his unborn son. After a battle with the Winchesters and Crowley, Lucifer killed Castiel and was trapped in an alternate reality by Mary Winchester.
In that reality, Lucifer encounters the alternate version of Michael, who beats him into submission after a brief exchange of words and bout, takes him prisoner, and extracts much of his grace to fuel a spell to open a rift to the core world. However, Lucifer manages to escape to the core world just as the unstable rift collapses, where he discovers that much of his power has left him. After saving a resurrected Castiel from a group of angels, he curiously inquires about his son, but they are both soon apprehended and taken into custody by the last Prince of Hell, Asmodeus, as Lucifer has lost most of his powers and strength.
After escaping Asmodeus, Lucifer attempted to steal Castiel's grace only for the latter to attack him. Lucifer retreated from the area and tried to steal grace from more angels.
Later however after meeting and allying himself an angel named Anael he starts feeding on her grace but not all of it, allowing her to recharge before he decides to bargain with the Angels into convincing them to make him the undisputed Ruler of Heaven with the promise that he'll create more angels and restore the wings of the angels that have survived since the fall. However, his promises were revealed to be lies in order to grant Lucifer more power. He later abandoned this post and went to a bar in a state of despair that nobody would ever respect him. He was soon apprehended by his brother, Gabriel and Rowena MacLeod, both of whom Lucifer believed he had killed, allowing them to gain the upper hand on the surprised Archangel.
After being captured to power a ritual to open a door to Apocalypse World, Lucifer learned that his son was in the alternate world and found his purpose revitalized. Resurrecting a recently-deceased Sam, Lucifer formed a reluctant alliance with the hunter to find his son and help stop Michael.
After Lucifer was trapped on the other side he allied himself with Michael, on the terms that he can have Jack while Michael gets everything else. After stealing his son's power, Lucifer was fought for a final time by Dean powered by Michael who Dean was acting as a vessel to. With the help of Michael, Dean finally killed Lucifer with an archangel blade.
However, his vessel Nick survived and began a mission to avenge his family. Nick began killing people and felt remorse for his actions, so he prayed for Lucifer to come back and unknowingly awakened him from his eternal slumber within The Empty. Despite the revelation that Lucifer was behind his family's murders, Nick began a search for the archangel, working with demons to bring him back. After contacting Lucifer through Prophet Donatello Redfield, Nick attempted to resurrect Lucifer and succeeded in bringing him back to Earth. However, Jack intervened and sent Lucifer back to the Empty before killing Nick, foiling Lucifer's resurrection.
" I was a son. A brother, like you. A younger brother. And I had an older brother who I loved. Idolized, in fact. And one day, I went to him and I begged him to stand with me, and Michael... Michael turned on me. Called me a freak. A monster. And then he beat me down. All because I was different. Because I had a mind of my own. "
— Lucifer's sense of betrayal
in Abandon All Hope
" Lucifer: She saw me when I was scouting out the bunker. She saw me and she screamed, so I crushed her skull with my bare hands and it was warm and wet and I liked it.
Jack: You're not my father... You're a monster. "
— Jack forcing Lucifer to confess what he did to Maggie
Lucifer was once the most beautiful and beloved Archangel in all of existence. God loved Lucifer the most of all his angels. Because of his elevated status among the other angels, Lucifer was very proud. When humanity was created, due to the Mark of Cain corrupting him into jealousy, he was unwilling to accept that he was no longer God's favorite. When God commanded all those of Heaven to love his new creation more than himself, Lucifer refused. Lucifer pleaded: "Father, I can't. These human beings are flawed. Murderous!" Lucifer continued his disobedience, asking Michael to stand by his side in his rebellion against God's orders. Michael refused Lucifer's request, and under God's command, Michael cast Lucifer into Hell. When Lucifer returned to Heaven, he listed the Salem witch trials, Nazi Germany, the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki and the 9/11 attacks as proof of mankind's unworthiness.
Naturally, being cast out of Heaven enraged Lucifer, and he struck back by tempting and twisting the soul of a human woman, Lilith. After completely stripping her of her humanity, her soul was transformed into the very first demon. He then would create the four Princes of Hell, some of the most powerful demons nearly impossible to kill, as generals for Hell's army. Around the same time, he also passed on the Mark of Cain onto Cain, turning him into the first Knight of Hell, who went on the create more Knights, elite warrior demons nearly impossible to kill, such as Abaddon. Because of these unforgivable blasphemies against God, Lucifer was further punished by being placed into additional solitary imprisonment within Hell. He remained there in isolation for a millennium. Lucifer's long term goal was to eventually be freed from the Cage, eradicate humanity, and restore Earth to its original "untainted" glory. It is suggested that Lucifer only uses demons as servants and would eradicate all of them as well, because, despite them being his creations, he considers demons to be even less worthy than humans. Proof of this is shown when he casually kills dozens of them. However, he holds his greatest contempt for Pagan Gods, believing them to be petty, disloyal, and the lowest of all beings because they claim to be gods.
Lucifer claims that he never lies or even tricks, because he does not have to, as he has said, "I will never lie to you. I will never trick you." He promised both his vessels, Nick and Sam, that he would be honest with them. He also said that he sympathizes with his vessels, both of whom are victims like himself. He went to some lengths to get Sam's acceptance, sparing Dean's life on several occasions, and allowing Sam revenge against some of the demons that controlled his life. Despite this, Lucifer is largely manipulative and has been proven to mislead on occasion, suggesting that this was more of a ploy to gain trust, rather than an actual commitment, and he would bend this rule when it's to his advantage. Furthermore, Lucifer tries to gain sympathy from his opponents such as Dean by claiming that he is truly a victim and was justified in his actions.
Lucifer shows concern for his fellow angels, though it is the archangels he loves most. He captured Castiel and admired the angel's loyalty in refusing to reveal the presence of his friends. He invited his younger brother to join him since they were both enemies of Heaven, but when Castiel refused, Lucifer respected his decision and offered him a chance to change his mind. Lucifer was remorseful when forced to kill what he believed to Gabriel and was disappointed when Michael berated him. When preparing to fight his older sibling in their pre-destined battle, Lucifer pleaded with Michael to "walk off the chessboard," but Michael remained determined to fulfill his destiny and serve God. Even so, when Castiel struck Michael with holy fire, Lucifer was outraged by the attack on his brother and obliterated Castiel, stating only he had the right to hurt Michael.
Gabriel criticized Lucifer, describing his actions as "one great big temper tantrum." Death and Crowley both made similar observations, as they have both called him a bratty and petulant child with daddy issues. Lucifer is also arrogant and extremely vengeful, taking his betrayal and hatred out on the entire world without any remorse. Nonetheless, Lucifer sees himself as a tragic figure who was punished for being right. He refuses to accept any blame for his actions and suggests that God intentionally made Lucifer the way he is, asserting that "God wanted the Devil."
Lucifer is also highly cruel and barbaric to those who get in his way, and despite his claims of being the victim, he has no qualms about killing anyone who angers him, even if he has no true reason for killing them. For example, he savagely massacred all the pagan gods (except for Kali, who was rescued and escaped), simply because they plotted against him, despite the fact that they posed no real threat to him and takes great pleasure in beating Dean for being "such a pain in (his) ass." He also slaughtered an entire town by sacrificing the women and children and then having his demons possess the men before killing them just to raise a Horseman.
Lucifer has a sense of humor equivalent to Gabriel and Balthazar, rare in many angels. He can be sarcastic and casually indifferent, usually a testament to his arrogance. This highlighted particularly in Sam's hallucinations of him, where he sees him as constantly shedding a snarky and wise-cracking light on Sam's everyday actions. When reunited with Sam in Hell, Lucifer proves to have a comical side, going so far as to dance during a fight with his enemies.
While Lucifer is angry with God for imprisoning him, he feels that it's a family issue and that dealing with Amara is more important to the point that he is willing to put aside his differences with his father and the Winchesters to fight her after the torture Amara put him through. After seeing God for the first time in eons, Lucifer initially seemed uncertain on how to react, but soon began to act somewhat like a petulant child, demanding an apology and locking himself in Sam's room when he didn't get one. However, after God actually apologized and explained his behavior, Lucifer forgave him and the two reconciled their differences to the point that Lucifer not only fought for God, he tried to save his father from Amara despite how powerful she was.
In the aftermath of the war with Amara, Lucifer seems solely interested in maintaining power in Hell, refusing to let Crowley stand in his way. He displays cruelty towards everyone who slightly upsets him. However, he makes an exception with Rowena, whose powers he is dependent upon until she manages to betray him. Although repeatedly regarded as "evil" by this point, Lucifer was generous enough to keep up his promise with Vince and heal his sister Wendy of her paralysis.
Lucifer expresses sorrow and anger at God's abandonment of him.
Following his banishment by Rowena, Lucifer comes back vengeful against God, believing that God had only apologized to get Lucifer's help against the Darkness before abandoning him a second time. Lucifer is both angry and devastated by this, in near tears when explaining his reasoning to the Winchesters and Castiel. He now sees no point in any of God's creations and intends to do whatever he feels like, specifically stating that he has no other plan.
Lucifer's disregard for anyone but himself remains prominent as he seeks out influential humans as his vessels, eventually landing with the President of the United States. Simply for the fun of it, Lucifer takes the president's lover to his bed, and willingly conceives a child with her, the purpose of this is uncertain, though he expresses joy about finally creating something rather than destroying it. He is enraged when Kelly threatens to abort the child and becomes even more furious when Sam expels him from his vessel.
Lucifer rejoices
As Crowley's prisoner, Lucifer remains confident, humorous and fearless as he does not believe Crowley will get what he wants from him. Even after being tortured, he merely puts up a front that he will submit to Crowley's rule. Although he claimed to have lost his purpose after God's abandonment of him, Lucifer seems to have regained it by focusing on his son. Lucifer also admits to one demon that he is not well-known for his patience. After his escape, Lucifer's primary objective is to be with his son.
Alternate Michael, upon reading Lucifer's mind, notes that his greatest fear is being imprisoned again.
After losing most of his grace, Lucifer became more human, requiring food and feeling the cold, something that disgusted him but he also didn't know how to deal with. Lucifer admits after feeling human sensations that he doesn't understand how people keep going.
In a more vulnerable moment, Lucifer admitted that he always wanted to fit in and please a father that he could never please. He admits that he fears to be as bad of a father to Jack as God was to him.
In Bring 'em Back Alive, after trying to help humans as the new God, Lucifer appeared to be genuinely distressed by the idea that all humans hated him because of God's "propaganda." Anael also points out he does not really want to find Jack since he is afraid of 'seeing contempt in his eyes'. He even revealed he can't do the things he promised the angels and only needed them to gain power, this was in contrast to his words of never lying. Lucifer was also shown to get easily enraged and saddened at the mention of locking him back in the Cage.
When he next appeared, he was depressed and drinking in a bar, telling the bartender how neither Heaven nor Hell matters to him, and that all he cares about is Jack. He was so depressed from being unable to feel Jack's presence that he nearly cried while he asked Gabriel to put him out of his misery when he held an Archangel Blade to his chest. He had no intention of defending himself against a weak Gabriel or the Winchesters, even when they stated they'd drain him of his Grace and kill him.
He started annoying and upsetting Rowena to pass the time, which made her lash out by telling him they'd use his Grace to retrieve Mary and Jack. Knowing where his son is and being insulted as being "nothing to him, to anyone" motivated him to fight and free himself. He replenished his Grace by "eating" a group of Angels and resurrected Sam in order to present him to Jack so he could finally build a relationship with his son, stating that before he'd just kidnap him but realized that wasn't an option. He smiled upon finally meeting Jack.
He successfully bonds with Jack, who was curious about his family but doesn't get along with Gabriel, Castiel, and the Winchesters, who despise him and want him away from Jack. He impresses Jack with his power and knowledge, much to the Winchesters disdain. When Lucifer attempts to reconnect with, or at least talk to Gabriel, and start arguing about the past, Gabriel calls Lucifer a "cancer" God had to cut out, he was visibly hurt and shed a tear.
He stood behind with Gabriel in order to protect Jack and the refugees fleeing to Main Earth when Michael attacked, despite being depowered. After being overwhelmed by Michael, he tries to cross the rift but is held back by Sam, who asked him "How did you think this was gonna end?"
Lucifer reveals his rage to his son
When he decided to team up with Michael, on the terms that he can have Jack while Michael can get everything else; he looked visibly conflicted by it. After reuniting with Jack and trying to leave Earth, he was nearly successful and played on his son's enthusiasm before Jack learned Lucifer killed his friend by compelling him to tell the truth, revealing he did kill Maggie and really enjoyed it. Lucifer was visibly upset when Jack called him a monster and denied Lucifer as a father, and screamed in Jack's face before shedding tears when he recognized contempt in Jack's eyes. He completely abandoned any relationship with his son and stole most of his grace, reverting to his old self. His narcissism, ruthlessness, and desire to be worshiped became his most dominating qualities, as he was going to wipe out the universe and make a new one in his image to be worshipped. He came to believe that family only brings pain and was unnecessary even punching his son and taunting him by declaring he could make more. He returned to his cruel and sadistic mannerisms as he was going to force Sam, and his own son Jack, to kill each other for his own amusement. He tried to make Sam see Jack as a killer while trying to prove to Jack that the Winchesters didn't care about him. His ambitions took priority over his son as he said he would just make more after Jack tried to get his father to stop and beat him down.
Death Edit
Killed By Edit
After Lucifer becomes super-charged by stealing Jack's grace, Dean agrees to become the vessel for the Apocalypse World Michael on the condition that Dean remains in control and Michael power him. Wielding several of Michael's powers, Dean battles Lucifer to the death but is overpowered by the super-charged Fallen Archangel as he gloats over his victory. As Lucifer begins smiting Dean, Sam tosses Dean Michael's archangel blade. Dean, with Michael powering him so that he can resist Lucifer's smiting and wield the weapon, brushes off the attack and stabs Lucifer in the side with the archangel blade, killing him. Lucifer's vessel Nick survives his death and later prays to him, awakening him in The Empty. However, though Nick tries to resurrect Lucifer, the attempt is foiled by Jack and Lucifer is returned to the Empty.
Characteristics Edit
Lucifer's fossilized black feather.
Lucifer's true form has so far only been depicted as an intense white light, usually shown while Lucifer is exiting or entering a vessel. When severely weakened, Lucifer manifests as a bright form of white smoke. His wings were revealed to be massive in size in comparison to Castiel's; unlike those of standard angels, Lucifer's wings arc outwards instead of upwards and are not broken like the majority of his siblings. Uniquely, Lucifer's eyes glow red instead of blue. While being an angel, The Devil appears to have tainted/corrupted grace. According to one angel, Lucifer carries the stench of Hell on him. The prophet Donatello remarked that Lucifer's power was dark and toxic when comparing it to his son. While Michael and Raphael could do harm to their vessels due to their great power and leave the person they were possessing a vegetable, Lucifer's presence in any vessel other than his chosen one or one of a powerful bloodline that can contain an angel, causes the vessel to slowly decay.
While possessing a vessel, Lucifer usually retains the vessel's appearance without altering it. His 2014 alternate counterpart, however, dressed Sam in an all-white suit and combed his hair back. After possessing Vince Vincente, Lucifer made an exception and chose to re-dress Vince in black clothing, topped with a leather jacket.
After escaping imprisonment from Crowley, Lucifer finally decides to change Nick's attire, donning a leather jacket as he did with Vince. This jacket was lost following his escape from the alternate universe. Lucifer replaced it with a beige jacket.
Outside a vessel but within Hell or someone's mind, Lucifer usually takes the form of his first known vessel, Nick.
In Various & Sundry Villains, Sam and Rowena MacLeod are revealed to have seen Lucifer's true face, not just the face of the vessel he uses. Lucifer's true face is frightening enough that it instilled true terror in Sam and Rowena.
After stealing power from Jack, his eyes turned glowing gold instead of red, like Jack.
In Let the Good Times Roll, when killed by Dean with an archangel blade, fire burst from Lucifer's vessel instead of glowing light as with other angels and even archangels when they are killed. It is unclear if this was something unique to Lucifer or was due to his super-charged state at the time.
In Unhuman Nature, following Nick's prayer, Lucifer formed as a black liquid skeleton within The Empty with his signature red eyes. When he briefly emerged in Game Night, Lucifer also had black viscous wings and his body was shot through with brief glows of white.

Supernatural: Fresh Meat (non-canon, Sam's hallucination)
Being the boss of Azazel and Lilith, Lucifer is the overall Big Bad of Supernatural starting in season 1 to the end of season 4. He takes the stage as the main antagonist in season 5, he comes back as the secondary antagonist in season 7 along with Edgar and also returns as the secondary antagonist in Season 11. He is the main antagonist in Season 12 (along with Arthur Ketch) and Season 13 (along with Alternate Michael).
Series creator Eric Kripke has jokingly compared him to a "raging psychotic" version of environmentalist Ed Begley, Jr., with "unlimited power".[8]
A homage to John Milton's Paradise Lost, Lucifer will be portrayed as "gentle, almost sympathetic." Kripke further characterized him as a "Devil who has a doubt" and "a lot of affection for God and the angels," and who "speaks really tenderly and gently and... doesn't lie.[9]
He is the only known supernatural being to become the President of the United States, which he became when he possessed Jefferson Rooney.[10]
Kripke reasoned, "He was essentially betrayed, so in some ways, he can be viewed sympathetically... if we can make the angels dicks, Lucifer can be sympathetic.[11]
The way Lucifer killed Baldur is similar to the way, Albert Wesker killed Ozwell E. Spencer in the video game series Resident Evil, in both method and words delivered upon killing their respective victims.
Of all the Archangels, Lucifer has appeared the most in the series. He is also the most recurring Primordial Entity and the most often seen singular villain on the show.
So far in the series, Lucifer has used five main vessels; Nick, Sam, Castiel (the latter of which is an angel possessing an empty vessel), Vince Vincente, Jefferson Rooney, and is currently once again possessing Nick.
Lucifer is the only archangel whose name doesn't end with "el" but end with "er." This is because Lucifer is the Latin calque of the Hebrew Helel ben Shahar, which roughly translates as "Morning Star, the Son of Dawn", a name which only appears once in the Hebrew Bible.
Before season 5 it was believed that God was the one who locked him in his cage but it was then revealed in season 5 that it was actually Michael who cast Lucifer into Hell on God's orders.
According to Mark Pellegrino in the Season 7 Companion Guide, Lucifer was probably more than just a hallucination and that he was possibly a psychic projection of Lucifer still stuck in The Cage.
Lucifer was named one of TV Guide's "Top 60 Villains of All Time".[12]
As with Gadreel, Lucifer is the most significant antagonist of the series. He is the one who brought about the chaos upon the universe, creation of demon kind, God leaving (alongside Gadreel's failure) and the Apocalypse. While Gadreel is the indirect catalyst for these events, Lucifer directly carried out these actions.
Lucifer is the first antagonist to be defeated by being re-sealed back in his original confinement while most other antagonists are killed in their inaugural season.
All the main cast members (with the exception of Mark Sheppard) have portrayed Lucifer at one point. Jared portrayed Lucifer twice in Season 5, Jensen portrayed Lucifer in Season 7 for a brief moment, and Misha portrayed Lucifer for half of Season 11.
Lucifer's irises glow reddish orange in O Brother, Where Art Thou? making him the first Archangel to show a special eye color similar to how Castiel and other angels' eyes glow blue. He later displays the similar glow after possessing Vince.
In the episode LOTUS, Lucifer's eyes start to glow pure red instead of reddish orange.
According to Mark Pellegrino, Lucifer's wings are "hot pink and sparkly".
In The Devil is in the Details, Lucifer made a reference to the show Lucifer that premieres on Fox of that year when he said that maybe he would move to LA and solve crimes.
Lucifer's mischievous behavior does not differ too much from Gabriel's; as siblings, they're said to have spent much time together, in Heaven, and Lucifer taught Gabriel how to do advanced reality-warping tricks. Their long-term convenience may have influenced Gabriel to act more like his older brethren, too.
Lucifer is the first angel in the series to possess another angel in its vessel, instead of another human vessel, by possessing Castiel. The fact that Jimmy Novak no longer resides in his body may be why Lucifer could possess Castiel, as Cass, with his grace, is acting as a proxy for a human soul that must give permission to have its body possessed.
Lucifer has been overpowered twice by his vessels: both Sam and Castiel have briefly overpowered his control over them. However, while Sam had full control and could freely move around, Castiel stated he had to use all of his strength just to prevent Lucifer from killing Sam and was clearly struggling.
Lucifer is the first archangel who is known to have been banished by the Angel banishing sigil.
Lucifer also is the first angel and archangel that has been trapped twice by using the Angel Trap.
Lucifer is the second Archangel to realign themselves with good, the first being Gabriel, and also the second Big Bad turned good in Season 11, the first being Metatron.
Like Gadreel, Lucifer has shown the ability to share control with his vessel at will. In We Happy Few, Lucifer was able to give control to Castiel like Gadreel once switched control with Sam. After Castiel spoke with the angels, he and Lucifer were able to switch again.
In We Happy Few, when Lucifer is expelled from Castiel, he briefly appears in the form of Nick as his true form is yanked out of Castiel.
Lucifer is the only Archangel to be the ruler of Heaven and Hell at the same time, albeit briefly.
As of deaths of Metatron and Gabriel, Lucifer is the only angel from the core universe confirmed to have wings.
During Rock Never Dies, Lucifer used his powers with snaps of his fingers similar to Gabriel and God.
In LOTUS, when Lucifer possesses Jefferson Rooney, the effect is similar to the one seen when Castiel first possessed Jimmy Novak in The Rapture.
In LOTUS, Lucifer becomes the first named Angel or Archangel to conceive a child in the series.
Lucifer is the third angel who is possessing a vessel that has died and been specifically restored for him. The other angels are Anna Milton's human form and Castiel with Jimmy Novak, Anna's human form was restored by an unknown force while God recreated Jimmy Novak's body to act as Castiel's vessel. In Lucifer's case, Crowley's demons found, repaired and improved the body of Nick for Lucifer's use as his permanent vessel.
Mark Pellegrino believes Lucifer has developed a snarky sense of humor as a means to hide his own pain, and that his current greatest fear is having his son, Jack, prefer Castiel to him.
Lucifer is the second angel that has been a member of the main cast through various actors, and the first archangel, most notably by Misha Collins and Mark Pellegrino in episode counts.
With Crowley's death in All Along the Watchtower, Lucifer is currently the longest-lasting antagonist in the series.
Season 4 is the only season where Lucifer somewhat appears but is not a major antagonist in that season.
Lucifer is the second angel to have been trapped on an alternate earth, with Virgil first being trapped in a different world. However, Lucifer later escapes back to his own world.
In the show, God displays very little to almost no concern about Lucifer's destructive intentions and actions. After Lucifer's fall from grace, he spends a very long time on Earth (Mostly in the Garden of Eden) corrupting and tempting humans. He defiles the human bloodline by convincing Adam and Eve to eat from the forbidden tree, he corrupts Lilith's soul into the first demon (though it is not specified if her corruption was before or after Adam & Eve's manipulation), at some point creates the four Princes of Hell, He has Cain kill Abel, and even then has Cain establish the Knights of Hell. In Earth's time, he was there presumably for decades waiting for more humans to be born so that he could taint them. And even yet being almost all-knowing, God decides to deal with Lucifer only after he commits these atrocities towards mankind.
Lucifer was the first Primordial Entity that the Winchesters knowingly encountered since both Gabriel and God hid their true identities from them.
As a character, Lucifer has been portrayed by most actors with a total of 13.
As seen in Exodus, Lucifer can drive a bus though it is unknown where he got this particular skill. He was also able to help Dean repair the bus, though his job appeared to merely be trying to start the engine when ordered to by Dean.
Lucifer is the only archangel to have ever been killed by a human, albeit one powered by a different archangel whom the human was acting as a vessel to.
According to Mark Pellegrino at Planet Comic-Con 2019, Lucifer is always seen wearing Nick's wedding ring as a reference to Nick's familial backstory. Out-of-universe, it is an homage to Pellegrino's real wife.
In Lore Edit
The Devil is known by many names throughout different faiths: Lucifer (Latin for " 'The Morning Star' or 'light bringer'"), The Devil, The Serpent, Iblis, (in Islam) and Satan (Hebrew for "Adversary").
In different versions of Bible, they said Satan is formerly known as Samael and was the former commander-in-chief of the angels army before his fall from Heaven. Some versions said he was the older brother of Michael.
Although "Lucifer" is considered to be the name of The Devil, this is never explicitly stated in the Bible and is merely the result of various translations. "Lucifer" appears only once in the Hebrew Bible, in Isaiah 14:12. Here, a prophecy about the fall of a corrupt Babylon king is described. Those who believe the fall of the king refers to the Devil's fall from grace began the traditional belief that Lucifer is most certainly Satan and the Devil.

The unit is surprisingly well built. It's plastic but has a good finish and doesn't feel flimsy or cheap at all. As far as the turning motor goes, time will tell how long it could last and how it fares with daily use.
It comes with everything you'd need. Adaptors that adjust the length of the Sesame's thumbturn slot to make sure it can interface properly with your door's thumbturn. Comes with high strength 3M command adhesive strips to mount it with – but also means you can easily get more from your local hardware store. It also has an optional mounting plate in case your door doesn't have a smooth surface to mount on. Although using it would now entail using tools, as the plate is meant to be sandwiched and secured between the door and the turnpiece assembly plate.
It runs on two CR123 batteries – too early to tell how long it will work before the batteries need to be changed. I'm hoping it can work with rechargeable since I have a couple of RCR123s laying around.
As stated, it was simply meant to be mounted, all you need to be sure of is if the Sesame's thumbturn slot actually reaches your door's thumbturn. Once that's decided – cover the turnpiece assembly with the Sesame making sure the thumbturn slot is properly engaged. It doesn't really matter what angle you orient the Sesame at – as you will be calibrating its "locked" and "unlocked" positions via the app.
The normal method to lock/unlock with the Sesame is to access the app and click on the giant thumbturn. It also allows other ways to do it. In the video below, I enabled the "knock on phone" feature – which means if it's within bluetooth range, you only need to knock on your phone and it'll unlock the door. 2 Which was great because I didn't know how else to unlock the door WHILE filming the video at that time There's also an option to unlock it automatically once it connects to your phone (proximity?), but I decided against enabling it for security reasons.
The app is pretty comprehensive and has everything you need. From recalibrating, adding users/guest access, battery and connection status, etc. It even shows activity history in case you need it.
In any case, the Sesame is working as intended, the only concern at this point is really how this handles over time. Will the electronics die out unexpectedly? Will the motor lose its strength and fail to apply the required torque to turn the knobs over time? Does a fresh set of CR123s really last for 500 days? For all these, time will tell. But for now, it's working perfectly.
I got two WiFi enabled models (one for the house and one for my condo) – which are supposed to come with WiFi access points. This extends the usability of the Sesame beyond bluetooth limitations – allowing you to lock/unlock your door even if you're not connected to it via BT. I was also under the impression that it may bypass the need for connecting via BT – which may lead to better battery performance.
While I still have my concerns about how good an idea it is to allow your house's lock to be accessible remotely, as the adage goes "mabuti na sobra kesa sa kulang" (better more than less). It's nice to know that the ability is there should I find any situation that requires it. You can leave it "disabled" if you don't want to use the feature.
Unfortunately, the campaign is still experiencing complications to this day and the access points aren't ready yet. Thankfully Candy House decided to ship the main units with the access points to follow when ready.
There's no denying that the Sesame is an impressive and practical piece of equipment. And initial tests seem to indicate that it seems to be working exactly as it should – which is to say "it's awesome." Despite my [currently] missing WiFi access points, and the negative history that has accompanied its creators, I'm still willing to put this on my Kickstarter Hall of Fame – it's really that useful.

India's Rural Population to get High-Speed Broadband Thanks to ISRO's Satellites
By Vardaan Sep 18, 2018
Indian space agency, Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO), will launch three more communication satellites to provide high-speed bandwidth connectivity to rural areas as part of the government's Digital India programme.
The announcement about this "Satellite-based Internet" was made during press conference post successful commercial launch of two UK satellites by ISRO, ISRO Chairman K. Sivan said, "The ISRO will launch three more satellites, which together will provide international level bandwidth speed."
Satellite-based Internet access is internet access provided through communications satellites. Modern consumer grade satellite Internet service is typically provided to individual users through geostationary satellites that can offer relatively high data speeds
The three satellites to be launched by ISRO are — AGSAT 20, GSAT 11, and GSAT 29. AGSAT 20 will launched next year, while GSAT 19 has already been launched.
These satellites are special as they use multiple spot beams that will increase internet speed and connectivity. A spot beam is a satellite signal that is specially concentrated in power so that it covers only a limited geographical area on the earth. The narrower the beam more is the power. These satellites will reuse "beams" (signals) several times in order to cover the entire country. In contrast, traditional satellite uses a broad single beam (not concentrated)to cover wide regions.
Sivan said that the space agency had planned a series of launches over the next six months. He said that there will be a rocket launch mission every second week.
Sivan also said earth observation satellites will also be launched in addition to the communication satellites.

In a separate development, Reliance Jio has has partnered with ISRO for providing high-speed 4G connectivity via satellites. This new platform based on satellite backhaul-based network will provide 4G LTE connectivity to remote rural locations. In satellite communication, 'backhaul' is used to mean getting data to a point from which it can be distributed over a network.
ISRO's geostationary communications satellite, GSAT-11, which is heaviest satellite that India has ever made, is yet to be launched but is already touted to revolutionize India's broadband connectivity. The Rs. 500 crore satellite weighing 4000-6000 Kg is said to be a boon for rural population in India as far as high-speed connectivity is concerned for them.
The GSAT-11 is equivalent to the combined power of almost all communications satellite sent into orbit by India. The heavy-weight satellite is like a constellation of 30 of the classical orbiting satellites.
GSAT-11 was planned to be launched in May 2018, it however got delayed after ISRO recalled it back to India from the launch site in French Guiana for additional checks weeks after ISRO lost communication to another communication satellite, the GSAT-6A, soon after its launch in March 2018.
The new launch date for GSAT-11 has been set to 30 November 2018.
In 2016, India overtook the US to become the world's second largest internet user base after China, however India is still behind many Asian countries when it comes to internet speed. The number of internet users in the country is expected to reach 500 million by June 2018, up from 432 million in December 2016, according to a report from the Internet and Mobile Association of India (IAMAI).

"Unwarranted survivals" and "anomalous deaths" from coronary heart disease: prospective survey of general population
McConnachie, A. , Hunt, K., Emslie, C., Hart, C.L. and Watt, G.C.M. (2001) "Unwarranted survivals" and "anomalous deaths" from coronary heart disease: prospective survey of general population. British Medical Journal, 323(7327), pp. 1487-1491. (doi: 10.1136/bmj.323.7327.1487)
ID83.pdf
Publisher's URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.1136/bmj.323.7327.1487
Objectives To assess survival in people who are at apparent high risk who do not develop coronary heart disease ("unwarranted survivals") and mortality in people at low risk who die from the disease ("anomalous deaths") and the extent to which these outcomes are explained by other, less visible, risk factors.

 Design Prospective general population survey.

 Setting Renfrew and Paisley, Scotland. Participants: 6068 men aged 45-64 years at screening in 1972-6, allocated to "visible" risk groups on the basis of body mass index and smoking.

 Main outcome measures Survival and death from coronary heart disease by age 70 years.

 Results Visible risk was a good predictor of mortality: 13% (45) of men at low risk and 45% (86) of men at high risk had died by age 70 years. Of these deaths, 12 (4%) and 44 (23%), respectively, were from coronary heart disease. In the group at low visible risk other less visible risk factors accounted for increased risk in 83% (10/12) of men who died from coronary heart disease and 29% (84/292) of men who survived. In the high risk group 81/107 who survived (76%) and 19/44 (43%) who died from coronary heart disease had lower risk after other factors were considered. Different risk factors modified risk (beyond smoking and body mass index) in the two groups. Among men at low visible risk, poor respiratory function, diabetes, previous coronary heart disease, and socioeconomic deprivation modified risk. Among men at high visible risk, height and cholesterol concentration modified risk.

 Conclusions Differences in survival between these extreme risk groups are dramatic. Health promotion messages would be more credible if they discussed anomalies and the limits of prediction of coronary disease at an individual level.

Fair Sale Might Be Dead, but Scrutiny of Fair Board Continues
by Voice of OC Aug 23, 2011 Updated Jul 8, 2021 Why you can trust Voice of OC

Tuesday, August 23, 2011 | The Orange County Fair Board's attempt to privatize the county fairgrounds in Costa Mesa — a two-year saga that prompted multiple investigations and lawsuits — ended last month when Gov. Jerry Brown officially nixed a proposed sale to the Newport Beach-based Facilities Management West.
But what has not ended is the heightened scrutiny — both locally and statewide — of how fair boards operate and the sometimes-murky ways in which they finance their activities.
The scrutiny is also coming at the height of fair season, with Orange County just finishing its summer fair and the Los Angeles County Fair set to start in two weeks.
In addition to cutting more than $30 million in state subsidies for local fairs, Brown has appointed a task force to study how California's 78 county fairs should operate. The goal of the 28-member panel, according to state Department of Fairs spokesman Jay Van Rein, is to determine "what are all of the options out there" for governance and funding.
Meanwhile, Nick Berardino, general manager of the Orange County Employees Association and one of Brown's most recent appointees to the local Fair Board, is pushing for formation of a citizen task force to review the many issues raised by the botched attempt to sell the 163-acre grounds in Costa Mesa.
"We've seen these quasi-government agencies and entities that are creatures of the state, and no one is watching them too much," said Assemblyman Jose Solorio (D-Santa Ana). He submitted several bills over the past two years dealing with the proposed fairgrounds sale and is working with Brown's staff and the statewide task force.
"We need to increase transparency, monitor their work and make sure they are efficient with our taxpayer or customer dollars," said Solorio.
Yet while Solorio is pushing for more transparency, local Fair Board leaders are pushing back against Berardino's calls for a public review.
Both Dave Ellis, Fair Board president, and Steve Beazley, CEO of the Orange County Fair and Event Center, say there's no point in going over the past. Ellis refused to place the issue on the agenda for the Fair Board meeting Thursday. He has also refused to answer a reporter's questions on the issue.
Berardino said he will continue to press for a discussion.
"As public officials, Fair Board members owe it to the community and taxpayers to take every possible step to ensure transparency and good government," Berardino wrote his fellow board members last week. "The path to good governance must be cleared of any barrier to open and effective public discourse."
The ongoing scrutiny of Ellis and other Fair Board members focuses primarily on their failed effort to buy the fairgrounds through their own non-profit entity when former Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger put it up for sale in the summer of 2009.
The main unanswered question — which is the focus of an investigation by the state's Fair Political Practices Commission — involves the quick hiring of former state Sen. Dick Ackerman and the county's lobbyist, Platinum Advisors.
Critics of the Fair Board have spent the past two years protesting those contracts. They argue that not only was Ackerman's secret hiring a violation of the state's open meetings law but his contacts with state legislators regarding the sale amounted to illegal lobbying because he had been out of office less than a year.
Orange County District Attorney Tony Rackauckas investigated Ackerman's hiring and found no criminal wrongdoing.
Rackauckas' investigation drew heavy criticism, however, and a Voice of OC story later revealed that DA investigators never looked at Ackerman's own legal billing records. The records show Ackerman phoned several Orange County legislators immediately before and after crucial votes on the fairgrounds sale.
There are also questions about how the Fair Board paid Ackerman.
Payments to Ackerman came from LSA and Associates, which was one of the Fair Board's existing subcontractors. LSA paid Ackerman's law firm, Nossaman LLP, more than $100,000. Platinum Advisors received more than $50,000, according to Ackerman's billing records.
However, Ackerman billed LSA for services involving contracts for paving the parking lot at the equestrian center and for a master plan update, according to Ackerman's billing statements and contract documents.
Yet there is no evidence that Ackerman had anything to do with the paving of the equestrian center or the master plan update. He has not returned calls for comment on his work for the fairgrounds.
An Imploding Agency
Also muddying the waters are documents showing that Ackerman's payments were steered through the California Construction Authority, a little-known and now defunct joint powers authority established by fairs to speed up construction of facilities.
For most of the spring and summer, CCA officials stalled Voice of OC public records requests regarding any contract amendments that would have changed the scope of either contract with LSA and Associates. Those records have yet to be produced.
In several interviews, CCA General Counsel Dick Hyde acknowledged that FPPC investigators were asking similar questions. In the spring, Hyde blamed the agency's inability to respond to records requests on a fiscal crisis created by the abrupt resignation of their CEO, Tom Baker, over the unauthorized spending of tens of millions on a solar panel project.
In an interview this week, Hyde said he was not aware of any contract amendment that would have authorized Ackerman's work.
"I don't think that contract allowed for lobbying," Hyde said, referring to LSA's contract with the fair.
Just as the CCA was imploding in November 2010, Baker's replacement became Becky Bailey Findley, a former OC Fair and Event Center CEO who also at that time was CEO for Facilities Management West and a consultant for the city of Costa Mesa.
Bailey Findley has referred all questions about the Ackerman affair and the solar panels to legal counsel.
But on May 24, Bailey Findley sent out a message to fair CEOs across the state announcing that gross fiscal mismanagement had prompted the death of the CCA:
Late last fall it was discovered that CCA had spent all of its reserves and then some in an attempt to keep the photovoltaic project loans at a reduced interest rate for participating fairs. F&E has supported CCA over the last 8 months plus has reimbursed CA Fairs for the majority of redirected funds.
CCA finds itself at ground zero — no reserves, no prospects for operational support and with a reduced funding mechanism for client fair capital projects. The CCA Board of Directors has engaged in survival planning resulting in a strategy to reinvent the organization in an effort to continue to provide services to CA Fairs now and into the future.
Last November, Bailey Findley drew a stark picture in a memo sent to CCA board members advising them that Baker had resigned suddenly when confronted about the failed solar panel project.
Bailey Findley told board members that the photovoltaic project — whose remnant solar panels are now stored at the local fair in Sacramento called Cal Expo — has spent more than $20 million in a questionable manner subsidizing loans for the installation of solar panels.
"It appears the use of the loan funds was done without the authorization or approval," Bailey Findley wrote.
Since the blow-up of the solar panel project and the cut in general fund subsidies for fairs, the CCA joint powers authority has been left with only a board and a lawyer, Hyde said.
Hyde and Bailey Findley have since spent months this year trying to collect delinquent payments to the solar panel project from places like the National Orange Show.
Yet since the Feb. 22 Voice of OC story revealing the CCA connection to Ackerman's billing statements, activists seeking public records requests about the contract say the agency has gone dark.

Q: Insert rows from formula I need help with a task in Crystal Reports.
In some cases I need to add several rows from formula.
For example, I have columns: Date, ParamName, ParamValue.
If ParamValue contains several values I need to insert each one like a new row:
Date, ParamName, ParamValue1
Date, ParamName, ParamValue2
Date, ParamName, ParamValue3

In other cases leave the row as it is.
Is it possible? I can't change the initial data to solve this problem and can't find any solution for now.

A: If what you need is line breaks in a displayed value, use a formula such as:
@{Line 1} & Chr(10) & @{Line 2} & Chr(10) & @{Line 3}

Metamorphosis: Community Transforming | Words of Wisdom?
I recently read most of a book titled "Bowling Alone". And I say most of a book because it was 480 pages long and full of statistics – a fine subject someone else needs to study. The author, Robert Putnam, examined the decline of social organizations to discover why we had become a nation who no longer joined bowling leagues or other civic organizations, but preferred to bowl alone. He called it a "significant decline in social capital", starting in the mid- to late sixties, when I came of age.
Dr. Putnam defines social capital as having two parts: binding capital and bridging capital. Binding capital is what we do when we attend worship services. We are meeting with people who are similar to us in some way; we are creating a community of like-minded people. Binding capital has a dark side: it can become too important to all be alike, it can become exclusionary. The other part of social capital is the bridging part, when a group of people interact with one another. Despite their differences, they find common ground and work together for a common purpose. We do that when we host the undocumented Dreamers, or participate in the Martin Luther King Day parade or the Atlanta Pride Festival. It is the bridging capital that creates society and social advances; things like public schools, public health, and the civil rights movement.
It has taken me a long time to be comfortable with the idea of community and to find a community with which I am comfortable. I stay on this journey because it helps me divest myself of fear. Now that I am more aware of my many connections, human and otherwise, and how my own identity is defined by them, I have a greater appreciation for community, and the significance of social capital.
How does your connection with your community infuse meaning into your life? How are you changed by that connection?

Great words to ponder. I love the explanation of the 2 parts of social capital. I agree that the bridging capital is really where social change occurs. So, even though I love the binding capital, I hope to focus as much attention on the bridging capital in the future.


he video game system you consider to be your favorite, actually tells quite a bit about the person you are. It's not an exact science and isn't nearly as accurate as astrology, teacup leaf reading, Ouija board, horoscopes or taking a wild guess, but it can still be used as an effective profiling tool.
Your Favorite System Reveals Your Personality (Defects)!
PlayStation 2: You are a teenager (or soon will be) living with your parents. You have at least one sibling but you haven't been educated to the point of knowing what a 'sibling' is due to ineffective parenting and the lackluster state of our educational institutions. A 'sibling' is a brother or a sister. You generally play games meant for older gamers because those who supply you with purchased or rented games don't understand what the big letters on the cover like M or T are for. Your favorite game is either Final Fantasy or Grand Theft Auto. You frequent video game forum boards and in an attempt to project an older image you litter your posts with obscenities but numerous spelling and grammatical errors and the fact that you have Naruto pj's, aren't fooling anyone.
PlayStation 3: You are either under 15 or over 18. If you are under 15 and consider the PS3 your favorite console, you are a materialistic numbnutz who hasn't yet realized that the shiny, expensive new toy someone in your life paid a couple of grand for, really only has one marginally decent game for it. If you are over 18 and consider the PS3 your fave, you are probably involved in a variety of illegal activities and your money has the stench of crime and evil on it. If neither of these two profiles describe you, perhaps you are someone who got up really, really early, waited hours in line out in the cold and pre-ordered a PS3. But if we asked your friends, they'd probably admit that they think you're a materialistic numbnutz with the lingering but unmistakable odor of evil money. Ha! We knew it!
Xbox: If you consider the Xbox your favorite system you have self-esteem issues. You're hanging onto the past - as soon as Microsoft released the X360, you were totally abandoned - hate to break it to you. That's why there hasn't been any good Xbox games in, like a year. But you continue to have faith that Microsoft will still support your system of choice like Linus waiting for the Great Pumpkin. You might even foolishly believe that Halo 3 will appear on the Xbox first. The only decent thing that will appear on the Xbox before the Xbox 360 is perhaps a full can of Coke, when you realize that the big fat green circle on that big fat doorstop holds a beverage better than it plays games. Time to upgrade dude.
GameCube: Where do we begin? If you received a GameCube in 2006, specifically in the last month and consider it your favorite, your parents either hate you or have absolutely no access to the outside world. Nintendo released a new system this year! Turn on CNN or FoxNews...look at a Wal-Mart flyer. Heck they're even talking about it in church! Maybe you just really wanted to play the new Link game and run around like a fairy in a green tunic while petting a pretty horsey and not talking, but you could have done that on the Wii. Sure the GC has a backlog of about 2 worthwhile titles like BMXXX and some other game, the name of which escapes us right now, but clearly you've been hosed. Big Time. Oh look...Happy Feet for the Cube. Yaaaaaaaaaay!
Wii: If you think the Wii is "all that" you're either crazy or over 70 - or most likely both. You just spent $300 on a remote and a game system that plays crappy old games made 20 years ago that you couldn't sell at your last garage sale. Not that you'd ever be smart enough to actually hook up the Wii to the internet to download these solid gold turds, since Nintendo has made it virtually impossible to connect. Do you know why that is? We have it on good authority that Nintendo just found out about the Internet in October. Seriously! Want to know how old school the Wii technology actually is? You can unhook the sensor bar and replace it with two candles and the system will still function perfectly. Cavemen could have invented the darn thing.... if they had figured out how to make fire first. Have fun playing Pong....I mean, Wii Tennis.
Sony PSP: If you consider the PSP to be the 'be all and end all' of game systems, you are between the ages of 'dumb' and 'dangerously stupid". Most likely you're the youngest child, content with getting hand-me-downs that barely fit, are faded, tattered and torn and are shadows of their former selves... just like PSP ports of real games. Don't get us wrong, the PSP is great for all kinds of things - watching movies, surfing the net, downloading all sorts of illegal stuff, hacking into the Pentagon...but playing games ain't one of them. The only game we found to be the most fun is the one built into the PSP. You know, the "Count the dead pixels on the PSP screen today" game. That never gets old.
DS: Nintendo really found a niche target market for the DS - one we affectionately refer to as "little stupid diaper babies who still pee their pants". I guess the Big N decided it was time to steal away some of the Fisher Price customers. I'm sure you feel like a 'grown up' using your stylus and acting all big while you hustle Mario's plumber's crack to the flagpole or attempt to get your moronic and seemingly deaf and dumb Nintendog's attention for the millionth time. If you think the DS makes you look more mature, why do adults avoid this thing like the plague? Because it makes us look stupid! Take the hint. Maybe your diaper's a little too tight, but we're telling you - lose the DS and gain some credibility. Even the LeapPad is cooler than that thing.
PC: NERD!!!! Have fun playing your Role Playing Game...NERD! Or how about your Real Time Strategy game...NERD!! Upgrade your graphics card and install a nerdier one, NERD!!! Why don't you Ping your nerdiness and see how fast the nerd molecules come back to nest in your PC? Oh, you think because you can play weekend daddy's FPS that you're all cool now, but there is nothing nerdier than a nerd playing someone else's FPS game, while he's taking a break from casting a bunch of fruity Gandolf spells in Lord of the Nerds. You make us sick. Quick, log into your favorite message board and draw some nerd magic from the other equally freakish large-adam's appled goofs! Here's a little test: If you've ever wondered, even for a millisecond, if someone from Star Wars could beat up someone from Lord of the Rings, you're a waste of space, a drain on your parents and a hopeless geekwad.
Now without any more time wasting, let's dive head first into the System awards!
*Please note: We're just having fun. These aren't meant to be taken seriously, with the exception of the PC profile. That stands.

Philosophiæ Naturalis Principia Mathematica (Latin for Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy), often referred to as simply the Principia, is a work in three books by Isaac Newton, in Latin, first published 5 July 1687. After annotating and correcting his personal copy of the first edition, Newton published two further editions, in 1713 and 1726. The Principia states Newton's laws of motion, forming the foundation of classical mechanics; Newton's law of universal gravitation; and a derivation of Kepler's laws of planetary motion (which Kepler first obtained empirically).

"..Hayatta hep eksik bir şeyler kalır. Ya yapılmamış bir iş veya kavuşulmamış bir insan. Belki, de en son kalan parça hayatımızın da tüm anlamını içerir ve o yüzden hep saklıdır" dedi Elisa, konuşmasına başlamadan önce. Öyle ki, bazı an gelir, hayatımızın geri kalanını o eksik elmas parçayı aramakla geçirmek zorunda kalırız. Çünkü, o son parça olmadan, hiçbir şey anlamını tamamlamaz..

The Last Man
The Last Man is a post-apocalyptic science fiction novel by Mary Shelley, which was first published in 1826. The book tells of a future world that has been ravaged by a plague. The novel was harshly reviewed at the time, and was virtually unknown – having been eclipsed by Shelley's more popular works – until a scholarly revival in the 1960s. It contains semi-biographical portraits of Romantic figures in Shelley's circle, particularly Shelley's late husband Percy Bysshe Shelley and Lord Byron.
Sergeant Major Andrew McCloud ignored the jangling telephones and the excited jabber of a room full of brass, and lit a cigarette. Somebody had to keep his head in this mess.

The Worm Ouroboros
Comparison with Other Works: The Worm Ouroboros is often compared with J. R. R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings (which it predates by 32 years). Tolkien read The Worm Ouroboros, and praised it in print. C. S. Lewis wrote a short preface to an anthology of Eddison's works, including The Worm Ouroboros, concluding that "No writer can be said to remind us of Eddison."
Little Elisa
LITTLE ELISA: "The Story of a Time Traveler Princess" "..There will always be a missing piece in life. It could be either something that is left undone or someone who you could not be able to come together with. Maybe the last piece has all the meaning of our lives and therefore it is always hidden" said Elisa, before she started her talk. It might be a specific moment that we have to spend the rest of our lives searching that missing diamond piece. Because, without that last piece, nothing will be complete.." "..Similar to this, what was the missing piece and the true meaning of Alice's life before she became Elisa? She had to discover it. But she would have to take a really long trip to discover this.."

The Little Prince [Le Petit Prince], is a novella and the most famous work of the French aristocrat, writer, poet and pioneering aviator Antoine de Saint-Exupéry (1900–1944). The novella is both the most-read and most-translated book in the French language, and was voted the best book of the 20th century in France. After the outbreak of the Second World War Saint-Exupéry became exiled in North America. In the midst of personal upheavals and failing health, he produced almost half of the writings for which he would be remembered, including a tender tale of loneliness, friendship, love and loss, in the form of a young prince fallen to Earth. An earlier memoir by the author had recounted his aviation experiences in the Sahara Desert, and he is thought to have drawn on those same experiences in The Little Prince.
Evolution of Communism
The Coming Revolution! The beginning story of the communism was like this: A ghost walks in Europe - the ghost of communism. All the forces of old Europe entered into a sacred alliance to defeat this ghost: the Pope and the Tsar, Metternich and Guizot, French radicals and German police agents. Where is the opposition party not being accused of being communist by its opponents? Where is the opposition, which has not thrown this blightful communism accusation back to its reactionary adversaries as well as to the more progressive opposition parties?

Love helps to live and to survive in the hardest moments of our lives. Love inspires you.
ELIZABETH was about three years old at the death of her mother. She was a princess, but she was left in a very forlorn and desolate condition. She was not, however, entirely abandoned. Her claims to inherit the crown had been set aside, but then she was, as all admitted, the daughter of the king, and she must, of course, be the object of a certain degree of consideration and ceremony. It would be entirely inconsistent with the notions of royal dignity which then prevailed to have her treated like an ordinary child.
Robinson Crusoe Written Anew for Children
IN the year 1719 an Englishman whose name was Daniel Defoe wrote a very long story, which he called "The Life and Surprising Adventures of Robinson Crusoe." His story was not designed for children, and therefore it contained a great deal of hard reading. There was much in it, however, that was interesting to young people, and from that day to this, the marvelous tale of Robinson Crusoe has been a favorite with boys as well as men. I have rewritten the story in words easy for every child, and have shortened it by leaving out all the dull parts.

Kangaroo is an account of a visit to New South Wales by an English writer named Richard Lovat Somers, and his German wife Harriet, in the early 1920s. This appears to be semi-autobiographical, based on a three-month visit to Australia by Lawrence and his wife Frieda, in 1922.
The novel includes a chapter ("Nightmare") describing the Somers' experiences in wartime Cornwall (St Columb Major), vivid descriptions of the Australian landscape, and Richard Somers' sceptical reflections on fringe politics in Sydney.
Australian journalist Robert Darroch — in several articles in the late 1970s, and a 1981 book entitled D.H. Lawrence in Australia — claimed that Lawrence based Kangaroo on real people and events he witnessed in Australia. The extent to which this is true remains a matter of controversy – particularly by Joseph Davis in his 1989 "D.H. Lawrence at Thirroul"(Collins, Sydney). Davis is sympathetic to the view that "Kangaroo" may be based on real events but argues that it is impossible that Lawrence had time to meet clandestine political leaders in Sydney when he was too busy writing his novel in Thirroul. Davis feels it is more likely to have been a local south coast identity associated with Thirroul who would have provided some of the details of Lawrence's political plot.
"Kangaroo" is the fictional nickname of one of Lawrence's characters, Benjamin Cooley, a prominent ex-soldier and lawyer, who is also the leader of a secretive, fascist paramilitary organisation, the "Diggers Club". Cooley fascinates Somers, but he maintains his distance from the movement itself. It has been suggested by Darroch and others that Cooley was based on Major General Charles Rosenthal, a notable World War I leader and right wing activist. It has also been alleged that Rosenthal was involved with the Old Guard, a secret anti-communist militia, set up by the Bruce government.
Similarly, according to Darroch, the character of Jack Calcott — who is the Somers' neighbour in Sydney and introduces Richard Somers to Cooley — may have been based on a controversial Australian military figure, Major John Scott, who was both an associate of Rosenthal, and an Old Guard official.
Another central character is Willie Struthers, a left wing activist reputed to have been based partly on Willem Siebenhaar, who made Lawrence's acquaintance in Western Australia.
Kangaroo's movement, and the "great general emotion" of Kangaroo himself, do not appeal to Somers, and in this the novel begins to reflect Lawrence's own experiences during World War I. Somers also rejects the socialism of Struthers, which emphasises "generalised love".
The novel is sometimes cited as an influence on the Jindyworobak movement, an Australian nationalist literary group, which emerged about a decade later. Gideon Haigh saw fit to dub it "one of the sharpest fictional visions of the country and its people".
D.H. Lawrence is best known for his infamous novel 'Lady Chatterley's Lover,' which was banned in the United States until 1959. He is widely regarded as one of the most influential writers of the 20th century.
Born in England in 1885, D.H. Lawrence is regarded as one of the most influential writers of the 20th century. He published many novels and poetry volumes during his lifetime, including Sons and Lovers and Women in Love, but is best known for his infamous Lady Chatterley's Lover. The graphic and highly sexual novel was published in Italy in 1928, but was banned in the United States until 1959, and in England until 1960. Garnering fame for his novels and short stories early on in his career, Lawrence later received acclaim for his personal letters, in which he detailed a range of emotions, from exhilaration to depression to prophetic brooding. He died in France in 1930.
Author D.H. Lawrence, regarded today as one of the most influential writers of the 20th century, was born David Herbert Lawrence on September 11, 1885, in the small mining town of Eastwood, Nottinghamshire, England. His father, Arthur John Lawrence, was a coal miner, and his mother, Lydia Lawrence, worked in the lace-making industry to supplement the family income. Lawrence's mother was from a middle-class family that had fallen into financial ruin, but not before she had become well-educated and a great lover of literature. She instilled in young D.H. a love of books and a strong desire to rise above his blue-collar beginnings.
