Fort Donelson Tennessee
Under orders, in late January 1863, Confederate Major General Joseph Wheeler, commanding two brigades of cavalry, had taken position on the Cumberland River at Palmyra to disrupt Union shipping. The Federals, however, apprised of Wheeler's intent, refrained from sending any boats up or downriver.
Unable to disrupt Union shipping and realizing that he and his men could not remain in the area indefinitely, Wheeler decided to attack the garrison at Dover, Tennessee, which informers reported was small and could easily be overwhelmed. The Rebels set out for Dover and between 1:00 and 2:00 pm, on February 3, began an attack.
The 800-man garrison, under the command of Col. A.C. Harding, was in and about the town of Dover where they had chosen camps that commanded the area and had dug rifle pits and battery emplacements. The Confederates mounted a determined attack using artillery fire with great skill, but were repulsed with heavy losses. By dusk, both sides were mostly without ammunition.
The Confederates surveyed the Union defenses and decided that the enemy was too well-placed to allow capture. Wheeler's force retired. The Federals did send out a pursuit but to no avail. The Confederates had failed to disrupt shipping on the Cumberland River and capture the garrison at Dover.
This Confederate failure left the Union in control in Middle Tennessee and a bitter Brig. General Nathan Bedford Forrest denounced Wheeler, a favorite of General Braxton Bragg, saying he would not again serve under him.

War in Kentucky: From Shiloh to Perryville
by James Lee McDonough
By mid 1862, Union gains in the Mississippi Valley and in Tennessee and Kentucky had brought the Confederacy to a point of strategic crisis. This valuable addition to the growing literature on the Civil War in the West tells how the Union then failed to press home its advantage while the Confederacy failed to force Kentucky into the Confederacy. The climax of these events was the little-known Battle of Perryville, in which a greatly inferior Southern force under Braxton Bragg managed a draw against Don Carlos Buell's Union army but also effectively terminated the Confederate invasion of Kentucky. McDonough has researched thoroughly and written clearly, making this book informative and accessible to a wide range of Civil War students.
Cozzens follows up his magisterial account of the Battle of Chickamauga, This Terrible Sound (1992), with an equally authoritative study of the Chattanooga campaign that followed it. Braxton Bragg (who sometimes seems unfit to have been at large on the public streets, let alone commanding armies) failed to either destroy or starve out the Union Army of the Cumberland. In due course, superior Northern resources and strategy--not tactics; few generals on either side come out looking like good tacticians--progressively loosened the Confederate cordon around the city. Finally, the Union drove off Bragg's army entirely in the famous Battle of Missionary Ridge, which was a much more complex affair than previous, heroic accounts make it. Like its predecessor on Chickamauga, this is such a good book on Chattanooga that it's hard to believe any Civil War collection will need another book on the subject for at least a generation.

"…[Some members] in Congress want to meet [the Zika] challenge by stripping funds away from our Ebola response and our continued efforts to prepare countries to build up their public health capabilities. In asking us to redirect critical Ebola money to Zika, they're forgetting the lessons we learned. We have to finish the job on Ebola, even as we act now to slow the spread of Zika. We continue to see Ebola flare-ups in West Africa … We can't sacrifice one urgent health priority in the name of another. As Congress understood in 2014, an investment in our global health community is an investment in the health of our nation. Now, we're looking to Congress to properly fund the effort to fight Zika, and to do it without sacrificing the commitments we have already made to strengthen global health security around the world and here at home" (6/20).


A few friends and I have come up with the bold idea of doing something fun with the electronics skills we picked up at school, and we decided to make a rotating led display. This would be an array of leds, mounted perpendicoulous on a spinning rod, switching on and off very fast in a predefined pattern. Because of the slowness of the eye, the pattern of leds should remain clearly visible when it moves across the plane of sight, this phenomenon is know as persistence of vision (POV). This pattern can be anything from letters, words and sentences to entire pictures, depending on the size and complexity of the electronics.

"While thoughts exist, words are alive and literature becomes an escape, not from, but into living."
— Cyril Connolly
Cyril Connolly7
"A literature that is alive does not live by yesterday's clock, nor by today's but by tomorrow's."
— Yevgeny Zamyatin Russian author 1884 - 1937
Context: A literature that is alive does not live by yesterday's clock, nor by today's but by tomorrow's. It is a sailor sent aloft: from the masthead he can see foundering ships, icebergs, and maelstroms still invisible from the deck. He can be dragged down from the mast and put to tending the boilers or working the capstan, but that will not change anything: the mast will remain, and the next man on the masthead will see what the first has seen. In a storm, you must have a man aloft. We are in the midst of storm today, and SOS signals come from every side.
"In the beginning was the Word. Then came the fucking word processor. Then came the thought processor. Then came the death of literature. And so it goes."
— Dan Simmons, Hyperion
Chapter 3 (p. 179)
"The struggle of literature is in fact a struggle to escape from the confines of language; it stretches out from the utmost limits of what can be said; what stirs literature is the call and attraction of what is not in the dictionary."
— Italo Calvino Italian journalist and writer of short stories and novels 1923 - 1985
"Literature does not reflect life, but it doesn't escape or withdraw from life either: it swallows it."
— Northrop Frye Canadian literary critic and literary theorist 1912 - 1991
"Life is words in action, literature is action in words."
— Tarik Gunersel Turkish actor 1953
"To have access to literature, world literature, was to escape the prison of national vanity, of philistinism, of compulsory provincialism, of inane schooling, of imperfect destinies and bad luck."
— Susan Sontag American writer and filmmaker, professor, and activist 1933 - 2004
Context: To have access to literature, world literature, was to escape the prison of national vanity, of philistinism, of compulsory provincialism, of inane schooling, of imperfect destinies and bad luck. Literature was the passport to enter a larger life; that is, the zone of freedom. Literature was freedom. Especially in a time in which the values of reading and inwardness are so strenuously challenged, literature is freedom.
"Literature is the Thought of thinking Souls."
— Thomas Carlyle Scottish philosopher, satirical writer, essayist, historian and teacher 1795 - 1881
"These weren't cheap modern books; these were books bound in leather, and not just leather, but leather from clever cows who had given their lives for literature after a happy existence in the very best pastures."
— Terry Pratchett, I Shall Wear Midnight
"Everything is becoming science fiction. From the margins of an almost invisible literature has sprung the intact reality of the 20th century."
— J. G. Ballard British writer 1930 - 2009
"Fictions of Every Kind" in Books and Bookmen (February 1971)
"No human society is too primitive to have some kind of literature. The only thing is that primitive literature hasn't yet become distinguished from other aspects of life: it's still embedded in religion, magic and social ceremonies."
"Run from the Furies, and they find you, as if fear were a homing device, as if literature itself, on contemplating the abyss, were an invitation to jump into it, while Wagner whistles."

"Really, when I think it over, literature has only one excuse for existing; it saves the person who makes it from the disgustingness of life."
— Joris-Karl Huysmans, Là-Bas
""Into thirty centuries born," Edwin Muir began his most celebrated poem, "At home in them all but the very last." Much is said about escapism in narrative and fiction. But perhaps the greatest escapism of all is to take refuge in the domesticity of the past, the home that history and literature become, avoiding the one moment of time in which we are not at home, yet have to live: the present."
— Tim Parks British writer 1954
"Why Read New Books?" The New York Review of Books (11 November 2014).
"It does not follow because many books are written by persons born in America that there exists an American literature. Books which imitate or represent the thoughts and life of Europe do not constitute an American literature. Before such can exist, an original idea must animate this nation and fresh currents of life must call into life fresh thoughts along its shores."
— Margaret Fuller American feminist, poet, author, and activist 1810 - 1850
"American Literature" in Papers on Literature and Art (1846), p. 122.
"Serious literature does not exist to make life easy but to complicate it."
— Witold Gombrowicz Polish writer 1904 - 1969
"The one way of tolerating existence is to lose oneself in literature as in a perpetual orgy."
— Gustave Flaubert French writer (1821–1880) 1821 - 1880

Madonna to be Honored with the Advocate for Change Award for Lifetime of Accelerating LGBTQ Acceptance at the 30th Annual GLAAD Media Awards
Madonna to Accept Honor at the GLAAD Media Awards in New York City on Saturday, May 4
New York, NY, February 05, 2019 – GLAAD, the world's largest lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) media advocacy organization, announced today that LGBTQ icon Madonna will accept the Advocate for Change Award at the 30th Annual GLAAD Media Awards in New York City on May 4, 2019. Madonna is the second person and first woman to ever receive this honor, awarded to a person who, through their work, changed the game for LGBTQ people around the world.
The 30th Annual GLAAD Media Awards honor media for fair, accurate, and inclusive representations of LGBTQ people and issues. Events will be held in Los Angeles on Thursday, March 28 and continue in New York City on Saturday, May 4. The 30th Annual GLAAD Media Awards are presented by Delta Air Lines, Gilead, Hyundai, Ketel One Family-Made Vodka, and Wells Fargo.
"Madonna always has and always will be the LGBTQ community's greatest ally and it is only fitting to honor and celebrate our biggest advocate at GLAAD's biggest event ever," said GLAAD President and CEO Sarah Kate Ellis. "From the HIV crisis to international LGBTQ issues, she fearlessly pushes for a world where LGBTQ people are accepted. Her music and art have been life-saving outlets for LGBTQ people over the years and her affirming words and actions have changed countless hearts and minds."
In addition to GLAAD celebrating the 30th anniversary of the GLAAD Media Awards, Madonna also celebrates a thirtieth anniversary this year. In 1989, she released her fourth studio album "Like a Prayer," which went on to go quadruple platinum and spark countless LGBTQ anthems.
Madonna's support for the LGBTQ community started at the beginning of her career during the HIV/AIDS crisis in the 1980s. She performed at AIDS benefit concerts, created a benefit dance marathon, and spoke out and demanded action at a time when AIDS was too often invisible in the media. Madonna also included a leaflet in her album Like a Prayer entitled "The Facts about AIDS" in which she gave fans crucial information about AIDS. Madonna also wrote a song on her album Erotica called "In This Life" as a tribute to her friends who had passed away from AIDS. In 1991, Madonna's documentary Truth or Dare showcased her dancers, who were almost all gay and were free to depict themselves authentically on camera, as encouraged by Madonna herself. In 1997, Madonna played a key role in Ellen DeGeneres' historic coming out, giving DeGeneres words of support and comfort, despite the fact that the two had never met before.
More recently, Madonna has continued to use her platform to support the LGBTQ community, speaking out against anti-LGBTQ laws, policies, and practices. Madonna has spoken out for LGBTQ equality in Romania, Malawi, Russia and more and she continues to advocate for equality in the United States. She has also spoken against bullying of LGBTQ youth and related LGBTQ youth suicide. In 2013, when presenting Anderson Cooper with the Vito Russo Award at the 24th Annual GLAAD Media Awards, she dressed as a Boy Scout in protest of the Boy Scouts of America's ban on LGBTQ people. This past New Year's Eve, Madonna gave a surprise performance at the Stonewall Inn, an historic venue for LGBTQ rights, to celebrate its upcoming anniversary and, in her words, "fifty years of revolution." Madonna has also participated in intersectional advocacy, speaking at the first Women's March on Washington for women's equality, and speaking out against Trump's child detention policy.
When responding to the imprisonment of two men who had been jailed in Malawi for marrying, Madonna released a statement that completely summarizes her commitment and support of the LGBTQ community, writing: "As a matter of principle, I believe in equal rights for all people, no matter what their gender, race, color, religion, or sexual orientation. This week, Malawi took a giant step backward. The world is filled with pain and suffering; therefore, we must support our basic human right to love and be loved."
GLAAD's Advocate for Change Award was previously given to President Bill Clinton in 2013 during the 24th Annual GLAAD Media Awards for his advocacy work to overturn the anti-LGBTQ Defense of Marriage Act and advance marriage equality nationwide.
GLAAD announced 151 nominees in 27 categories, including an inaugural category for Outstanding Video Game, along with Kids & Family Programming, Comedy and Drama Series, Documentary, Reality Series, Music Artist, Comic Book, print, broadcast, and online news, and five Spanish-language categories. For the first time ever, the GLAAD Media Awards' Outstanding Film – Limited Release category expanded from five to ten nominees as a result of a welcome increase in fair, accurate, and inclusive LGBTQ images in film.
Nominees included Love Simon, Crazy Rich Asians, The Favourite, Pose, Schitt's Creek, The Handmaid's Tale, Nanette, Janelle Monáe, Hayley Kiyoko, Troye Sivan, American Idol, She-Ra, Law & Order: SVU, Don Lemon, Stephen Colbert, Samantha Bee, Univision, MSNBC, Ebony, GQ, CNN, and The New York Times.

Frank Lampard has seen himself linked with a move to former club Chelsea, who are in a rotten run of form recently.
The Blues are currently sat 6th in the Premier League and were thrashed 6-0 by Manchester City at the weekend.
This shock result has raised questions about Maurizio Sarri's future at Stamford Bridge and he could be heading for the exit door in the near future.
Lampard has impressed in his first managerial spell with Derby and has led his side to within touching distance of the play-offs this season.
But the former Blues midfielder is going to be tempted by the prospect of returning to his former club in the near future.
Lampard will surely want to finish what he has started at Derby though and could want to stay with the Championship club for the remainder of the season.
He has already brought in a number of Chelsea loanees, and will be keen to see how Derby fare for the rest of this year's league campaign.
If he was to jump ship and leave Derby, then he'll surely regret it, as they are having an impressive season so far.
A move to Chelsea shouldn't be ruled out by Lampard though, as obviously, as a manager you want to be managing the best clubs in the country, and Chelsea are certainly one of them.
It's a real dilemma that Lampard could do without midway through the season, and he'll need to remain focused until any sort of offer is tabled to him by Chelsea, if they are to sack Sarri.
If his head is turned by the Blues, then it could seriously derail their promotion bid this season, as Derby look to win promotion back to the Premier League.
It's sure to be an interesting couple of weeks, as the speculation linking him with a move to Stamford Bridge isn't going to go away anytime soon.


Doreen Williamson is a quiet, shy librarian on Earth. As many other young women she is distrustful of her attractions, frightened of men, introverted in manner and sexually inhibited. She lives in a quiet, lonely, dissatisfying, sheltered, frustrated desperation, distant from her true self, her nature denied, her only friends books and her secret thoughts. In the realization and enactment of a profound fantasy, after acute self-conflict, she dares to study dancing, a form of dance in which she is at last free to move her body as a female, a form of dance in which she may revel in her beauty and womanhood, a form of dance historically commanded by masters of selected, suitable slaves, belly dance. She must then dance, for the first time, before men. For the first, time, too, she discovers her own desirability, and that she is such as may be well bid upon.


The first panelist, Vanisa Dhiru, stated that violence against women is on the rise in her homeland, New Zealand. She spoke about some of the key initiatives and best practices that give reason to be optimistic about stemming the tide of violence. Legislative change, long term government-led initiatives, and culturally sensitive measures undertaken by Maoris and certain immigrant groups can all be effective. She also noted methods by which New Zealand has promoted initiatives undertaken by men in violence-prone communities through awareness raising campaigns.
The second panelist, Junhui Joo from Korea, spoke on several issues regarding violence against women. She discussed the role of mass media, women's NGOs, anger management, and the effectiveness of criminal prosecution. She compared the American and Korean systems, with emphasis on prevention, punishment, and healing. She also stressed the importance of women's self-confidence, empowerment, and economic participation.
The first panelist, Yun-Sook Lee from Korea, stressed that Asia Pacific women are not exempt from dangers associated with climate change. She suggested some specific ways to integrate gender considerations in climate change adaptation in the Asia Pacific region. Recommendations included: using reusable cloth shopping bags, reusing school uniforms after graduation, and increasing the use of public transportation.
The second panelist, Rae Duff from New Zealand, elaborated on this subject. She noted that women in ICW member countries are well positioned to take up the challenge of promoting sustainable lifestyles to reduce the effects of climate change. Useful suggestions can be found in 'Toolkit of Resources for Community Education to Reduce the Effects of Climate Change' produced in 2008. She noted that there is much that can be done both collectively and as individuals to help combat the effects of climate change.
APRC President, Dr. Monthip S. Tabucanon, also gave insightful presentations on "Violence against Women" and "Gender & Climate Change Adaption" in Thailand.

A group of employees announced last week on a website that specifically mentions Chapek that LGBTQ workers and allies are expected to participate in a general walkout at office locations in California, Florida, and elsewhere.
Chapek has faced a barrage of internal and public criticism in recent weeks for failing to take a stronger stance against HB 1557, a bill that would prohibit instruction about "sexual orientation or gender identity" in Florida's kindergarten through third grades. In a companywide memo dated March 7, Chapek stated that the company can make the "biggest impact" by "creating a more inclusive world through the inspiring content we produce."
Some of the tens of thousands of Disney employees in Florida, home to the sprawling Walt Disney World theme park and resort in Orlando, appeared to be particularly irritated by the company's stance on the bill.
In a letter dated March 11, Chapek, who assumed the throne of the Magic Kingdom in 2020, apologized directly to employees.
"It's clear that this isn't just about a Florida bill; it's about yet another assault on basic human rights. In the fight for equal rights, you needed me to be a stronger ally, and I let you down," Chapek wrote in the letter. "I apologize."
He also stated that all donations to elected officials in Florida would be halted.
However, the letter did not put an end to the uproar.
Employees who identify as LGBTQ began planning a series of protests during their lunch breaks, culminating in a general walkout on Tuesday. Their plans were announced on a website (whereischapek.com) and an Instagram account called disney walkout.
"TWDC [The Walt Disney Co.] leadership's recent statements and lack of action on the 'Don't Say Gay or Trans' bill have utterly failed to match the magnitude of the threat to LGBTQIA+ safety represented by this legislation," the employees said.
"We've been thrown into an untenable and unsustainable situation." We must now take steps to persuade TWDC to protect its employees and their families in the face of such blatant bigotry."
According to The Wall Street Journal, Chapek attempted to rectify the situation in a virtual town hall on Monday, telling employees that he and other top executives were "determined to use this moment as a catalyst for more meaningful and lasting change."
Chapek said he and other senior leaders would go on a global listening tour of employees, according to the Journal, citing people who attended the event. The furor underscores a new reality for corporate titans, especially in the media and entertainment industries: Employees are becoming increasingly unafraid to speak out against policies they find offensive or foolish.
The backlash has also resulted in a public relations crisis for Chapek, who is attempting to lead Disney through the streaming revolution with Disney+ and other digital ventures.
On February 24, Chapek's predecessor, Bob Iger, spoke out against Florida's Parental Rights in Education bill, weeks before Chapek apologized.
The employees who organized the walkout did not immediately respond to a series of emailed questions about their plans, including whether they intend to pressure the company to oppose a similar "Don't Say Gay" bill in Georgia, a major filming hub. The organizers of the walkout are distinct from the various business employee resource groups (BERGs) and Disney-sponsored Pride organizations.
Parents, not teachers, should be the ones talking to children about sexuality and gender issues, according to Republican legislators in Florida who pushed for the bill.
Democrats argue that the bill stigmatizes LGBTQ people and prevents students from openly discussing their sexual orientation and gender identity. The bill was dubbed "hateful" by Vice President Joe Biden.
The bill has now passed both houses of the Legislature and is on its way to Republican Governor Ron DeSantis, who has expressed his support for it.
According to a schedule posted on the employee-created website, the walkout will begin at 11 a.m. ET Tuesday.

Background: Growing evidence suggests that obesity is associated with systemic inflammation. The level of inflammation can be exacerbated by one or more existing food intolerances. Furthermore, studies have shown that diet quality, not quantity, plays an important role in potential inflammation caused by foods. It is therefore, important to determine if dietary patterns alone or in combination with increased adiposity have a greater effect on systemic inflammation and body composition.
Objective: Hence, the purpose of this study was to examine the effect of food elimination using the ALCAT food elimination protocol, on body composition and overall body inflammatory markers.
Methods: One hundred thirty-one participants were randomly assigned to either a treatment (n=72) or a control (n=59) group in this pre- and post-test double blind experimental study. All participants followed a 4-week elimination diet based on ALCAT testing protocol, completed a medical symptoms questionnaire at the beginning and end of the study, had their blood drawn for inflammatory markers and provided anthropometric measurements for body composition analysis.. In additions Participants kept an exercise log and food log during the study. Within and between group differences in body composition and inflammatory markers were analyzed using repeated measures ANOVA. Significant main and interaction effects were analyzed using the Bonferonni post-hoc method for multiple comparisons. Univariate analysis of variance was utilized to examine body composition.
Conclusions: Overall, there was little evidence to support the ability of elimination diets in decreasing total body inflammation or altering body composition using ALCAT testing protocol.

It's no secret how much Road Bay and Sandy Ground in Anguilla mean to me. I always describe it as "coming home." With its shore lined by beach bars from the north point to the southern end, it's a given that this stretch of beach would be like a home away from home for me. It's not just the beach bars and restaurants, though. It's the people who call it home, who go to work there every day and who venture to its shores as the sun sets to enjoy the island's center of nightlife.
I was happy to see this drone video of the area pop up on YouTube. While the video's title calls out Elvis' Beach Bar, most of the shoreline along this stretch of beach is covered at one point. What it shows is a battered but recovering community, representative of the rest of the island. It's eye-opening, to say the least, but nothing in the video would deter me from visiting my home away from home.
Have you been to Sandy Ground/Road Bay or other parts of Anguilla recently? If so, what were your thoughts or opinions on its condition at the time? Let us know in the comments.

Which video game enemy has been your biggest personal nemesis?
By Rachel Weber, GamesRadar Staff 2019-02-01T22:00:35Z Feature
M. Bison, Orchid, and the most nefarious of them all, Gary
Right now Resident Evil 2's Mr. X is the hottest villain on the block, with his hat and his memes and his physique that makes The Rock feel inadequate. In his honor, we decided to ask the GamesRadar team who their greatest gaming foes have been, and we got some surprising answers. This is the latest in a series of big questions we'll be interrogating our writers with, so share your responses and suggestions for topics with us on Twitter.
Blue / Gary from the Pokemon Series
Pokemon is a lie. No matter how many times I make it, no matter how many times I am crowned the very best, like no one ever was, I'll still have to start all over again. And he'll always be there, trying to beat me to it. I know there have been other iterations of your rival from Pokemon Red and Blue, but I know he's in there, underneath the facade of some new rival. I also realize that the real enemies here are Team Rocket, who seem to reinvent themselves every time too - but realistically they're so inept at being bad guys and floundering in their ability to actual steal Pokemon or cause any kind of world event, they're not really much to worry about. That Gary on the other hand will always be there, challenging me, forever truly unbeatable. Sam Loveridge
Orchid from Killer Instinct
I can still picture Orchid's victory pose. Standing there with her arms above her head in an outfit that was very bright green but totally impractical for fighting giant werewolves and guys made out of ice. Killer Instinct on N64 was the competitive game of choice for me and my next door neighbor, and Orchid - who's fast, agile and has combo chains that are relatively easy to learn with a bit of practice - was his go-to character. It was his N64 (I had a PlayStation because I make good choices) so he always got to pick first, meaning most of the time I was left choosing someone bigger and/or slower, like stupid Tusk. Whenever we played I'd always know that once Orchid was in the roster I didn't really have a chance. She's not too tough when the CPU is in control but throw in the unpredictability of a human and I really hated her. Plus I was about 12, so despite spending a good few hours in the training room practicing combo breakers, she was just too fast for my tiny brain. I mean, she can turn into a bright yellow panther mid-combo, then after you've been beaten she'll turn you into a frog and stomp on you. James Jarvis
Father Gascoigne from Bloodborne
Many will undoubtedly tell me to just "git gud," but as my first introduction to the Soulsborne series, Father Gascoigne was brutal. I was determined to beat him without using the internet for help, so it wasn't until he'd transformed into a werewolf and sliced my head off countless times that I discovered I could use the Tiny Music Box to stun him. When I say countless times, I mean it - I was stuck on him for months, albeit with some breaks from the game because I grew sick of him killing me. I did eventually beat him, though my Bloodborne experience didn't last for much longer when I came across the Blood-Starved Beast. Ford James
Lunastra from Monster Hunter World
I've thrown a lot of praise at Monster Hunter World, but one of its newest Elder Dragons, Lunastra, is simply one of the most annoying video game bosses I've ever fought. Her male counterpart, Teostra, is a great fight. Teostra has clear tells, accurate hit boxes, an accessible weak spot, and most importantly, a reasonable flame aura. Lunastra has none of these things, and she has nothing but scorn for your attempts to counter her. She's just impossible to deal with effectively. Fire defense and life steal don't make a dent in her constant fire damage. For some arbitrary reason, you can't flash bomb her out of the air. Her wings are her best hit zone, but they're firmly out of reach. And don't even get me started on her instantaneous wing attack, which I like to call, 'Haha, now everything is on fire, including you.' Austin Wood
M. Bison from Street Fighter 2
I was going to say Metal Gear Solid 5's penultimate mission, A Quiet Exit, which made me punch my bed repeatedly shouting "WHY?!" after three hours of restarts, but then I remembered fighting M. Bison on Level 7 on the Super Nintendo and the time I stood at the top of the stairs and let myself drop. Ok, ok, let me rewind a bit. I didn't really drop. Just made my body floppy and kind of bounced down 13 carpeted steps. A few burns. Maybe a bruise. But I didn't die. I do recall thinking, quite acutely, that perhaps my life was utterly futile and perhaps it wouldn't matter if I let a few limbs take a snapping… but there you go. To recap: M. Bison (a sort-of Russian bus conductor dressed like a 1990s Euro House DJ) had the ability to completely bend the rules of Capcom's seminal 2D fighting game. So it was quite possible to, say, batter him within an inch of his life with a perfectly executed series of combos, heart throbbing out of your chest and chilled with sweat, until he was reduced to a nanometer of energy bar - only for Bison to launch into three completely unpredictable head stomps, and a Psycho Crusher that drained two thirds of your energy bar. At least, that's how I remember it. I don't want to say modern games are easy, but if you're not letting yourself fall 15 meters down some steps, perhaps consider ratcheting the difficulty up a notch. Or rather, don't. That's a terrible idea. Dan Dawkins
'Helpful' AI survivors in Left 4 Dead
The world has come to an end. Zombies shamble across the Earth. Shotguns become a must-have accessory. Everything is on fire. And the survivors have lost any and all common sense. Unfortunately for those who couldn't get a full team of players in Left 4 Dead, the game took control of whoever was left. Although these walking disasters put up a fight, the ones carrying first aid kits (which were always in short supply) pursued those who got so much as a paper cut with the relentless determination of a T-1000 who's done a course on wellbeing. That meant there were no health packs left for when you actually, you know, needed them. As a result, I spent longer than I'd care to admit running away from my allies in a twisted-but-well-meaning game of tag. Having our brains eaten may have been preferable, to be honest. Benjamin Abbott
Shao Kahn from Mortal Kombat: Shaolin Monks
Everyone knows that Shao Kahn, the masked big bad of the Mortal Kombat universe, is one of the cheapest final bosses in existence. He'll shoulder-charge your health bar to nothingness in nanoseconds, letting out a booming laugh while you seethe with rage. But if you think he's unfair in a 2D fighting game, try taking him on in a 3D brawler with a zoomed-out camera and finicky projectile aim. The majority of Shaolin Monks is a good time, as Liu Kang and Kung Lao string huge combos against waves of enemies with heavy-hitting melee attacks - but close-quarters combat is a death sentence against Mr. Kahn. Instead, the best - and perhaps only - way to defeat him is to spam projectiles from afar, whittling away his gigantic health bar centimeter by centimeter, making sure to run for your pathetic life if he swings his hammer even remotely near you. I tried my damndest to beat Shao Kahn in a recent playthrough alongside PC Gamer's Wes Fenlon - but after a few futile attempts, it was obvious that this nigh-undefeatable boss fight wasn't worth our time, and we hopped over to YouTube to watch the ending without a second thought. Lucas Sullivan
Imlerith from The Witcher 3
There are always some enemies who are truly memorable every few games or so. Imlerith from The Witcher 3 absolutely had me by the balls for basically a whole evening. He's immune to practically all of Geralt's signs - which usually provide an edge in battle - and it's suicide to fight him head-on anyway. Throw in his teleporting ability and massive mace attacks and I was left floundering, trying everything until finally getting through using a mad combo of lunatic movement and bomb throwing idiocy to finally succeed. What a terrible b*stard. Rob Dwiar

We use your personal information in order to fulfil our commitment to providing an unparalleled guest experience in connection with all of your interactions with Hyatt (the "Purpose"). As part of that undertaking, we are committed to safeguarding the privacy of the personal information that we gather.
This Policy gives effect to our commitment to protect your personal information and has been adopted by all of the separate and distinct legal entities that manage, operate, franchise, license, own and/or provide services to the various locations operating under or in connection with the Hyatt®", Park Hyatt®, Miraval®, exhale®, Grand Hyatt®, Hyatt Regency®, Andaz®, Hyatt Centric®, The Unbound Collection by Hyatt®, Hyatt Place®, Hyatt House®, Hyatt Ziva™, Hyatt Zilara™ or Hyatt Residence Club® brands around the world, including independently branded locations affiliated with Hyatt (individually, a "Hyatt Location" and collectively, the "Hyatt Locations"). Those entities include Hyatt Hotels Corporation, its direct and indirect subsidiaries, and all of the separate and distinct legal entities that own the individual Hyatt Locations worldwide or provide services to you under a Hyatt brand. References to "Hyatt", "we" and "our" throughout this Policy, depending upon the context, collectively refer to those separate and distinct legal entities.
There may be instances in which the personal information that you provide to us or that we collect is considered Sensitive Personal Information under the privacy laws of some countries or regions. Those laws define "Sensitive Personal Information" to mean personal information from which we can determine or infer an individual's racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious beliefs or other beliefs of a similar nature, membership in a trade union or professional association, physical or mental health or condition, medical treatment, genetic data, biometric information, and information about an individual's sexual life or sexual orientation. In some very rare instances, financial records may constitute Sensitive Personal Information where you are located. We only process Sensitive Personal Information in your jurisdiction if and to the extent permitted or required by applicable law.
When you agree to this Policy you are, to the extent required under your local law, granting your express and written consent to the processing of any personal information that you provide to Hyatt that is considered to be Sensitive Personal Information or financial information. Save to the extent required by law, you are not obliged to provide Hyatt with any of your Sensitive Personal Information, and should you choose not to, this will not prevent you from purchasing any products or services from Hyatt.
process credit applications (for example, in the context of Hyatt Residence Club locations).
Hyatt uses and retains your personal information for as long as is necessary to fulfil the purpose for which it is being processed, and in line with our legal and regulatory obligations and risk management guidelines.
Like most international hotel brands, we may outsource the processing of certain functions and/or information to third parties. When we do outsource the processing of your personal information to third parties or provide your personal information to third-party service providers, we oblige those third parties to protect your personal information in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Policy, with appropriate security measures.
As we continue to develop our business, we may sell hotels and other assets, or cease being the manager or franchisor of a Hyatt Location. In those circumstances, we may include the personal information collected about you, or control of that personal information, as a business asset in any such transfer. Also, in the unlikely event that we, or substantially all of our assets, are acquired, personal information collected about you, or control of such information, may be one of the transferred assets.
in some limited circumstances, your employer or corporate client (and/or their respective subcontractors) directly for the same purpose.
The entities that receive the extract of your bill may be located in the United States, which does not have privacy laws that specifically address in detail all uses of personal information in the same way as in other parts of the world (notably Europe, Canada, Australia, South Africa and most of South America). In order to ensure the protection of your personal information, the transfer of that information to Hyatt's U.S.-based information system will be governed by our binding corporate rules (where they apply to you – for more information about our binding corporate rules please see Section 12 below). The third party service provider who acts on Hyatt's behalf to compile the extract will be subject to contractual provisions meeting the requirements of Hyatt's binding corporate rules.
Like most international businesses, we have centralized certain aspects of our data processing activities in accordance with applicable laws, which, in many instances, will result in the transfer of your personal information from one country to another. For example, if you make a reservation and/or stay at one of the Hyatt Locations outside of the United States, the personal information gathered in that process will be transferred to and processed in the United States, in accordance with Hyatt's binding corporate rules (where they apply to you – for more information about our binding corporate rules please see Section 12 below). The jurisdictions where that information will be processed may or may not have laws that seek to preserve the privacy of personal information. Nevertheless, whenever your personal information is transferred within the Hyatt companies, your personal information will be processed in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Policy and applicable laws. A list of the main Hyatt Locations to which your personal information may be transferred, and the jurisdictions in which those entities are located, can be found by selecting "All" at: https://www.hyatt.com/explore-hotels.
Additionally, some of the third party suppliers to which we transfer your personal information may be based in different locations, some of which may have lower standards of data protection than in your home country. When we do transfer personal information to such third parties, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place, and oblige those third parties to protect your personal information in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Policy, with appropriate security measures. These third parties broadly fall into two groups: (i) locally-provided suppliers supporting individual Hyatt Locations or groups of Hyatt Locations, who may operate in any of the countries in which Hyatt Locations operate; or (ii) centrally-procured service providers, supporting Hyatt as a whole, who may be located in our major business locations, in particular the United States (where we are headquartered), Switzerland and Hong Kong.
Because the security of your personal information is important to us, we require Transport Layer Security ("TLS") software in order to encrypt the personal information that you provide to us. When using TLS, your transmission of personal information to us online is encrypted.

If you have an account with our frequent guest program (e.g., World of Hyatt®), we ask you to indicate your communication preferences at the time you apply for membership or when you create your user profile. We may also ask you to indicate how you would like to receive any offers, marketing and promotional information (e.g., via email or regular mail) and whether you would be willing to participate in surveys. Once you have indicated your preferences, you can always change them.
With some limited exceptions, you have rights to access and update personal information held about you.

Please be sure to include your full name, address and telephone number and a copy of a document evidencing your identity (such as an ID card or passport) so we can ascertain your identity and whether we have any personal information regarding you, or in case we need to contact you to obtain any additional information we may require to make that determination. Where you make more than one request in quick succession, we may respond to your subsequent request by referring to our earlier response and only identifying any items that have changed materially.
You may request that we correct, delete, and/or stop or restrict processing or using personal information that we hold about you by sending a letter or email to the addresses set out in Section 12 below.

Many many thanks for all your help with booking our Ukraine adventure! We had a fantastic time - five cities in ten days! Your advice and help was much appreciated, especially when we realised that you had managed to book us at least one bottom bunk bed on each of our train journeys! All the hotels were lovely, especially the George in Lviv. We had an amazing time.


As you entered, you passed under an awning inscribed with a variation of Dante: "Lasciate Ogni Dolore Voi Ch Entrate" — "Abandon all pain, you who enter here." In the backyard, there was an enormous glass tent and wide steps that led to the sea.
The scene of champagne, risotto stations and costumed waiters was like an imaginary party thrown by the story's character, Effie: lavish and large-scale. It fit the spirit of the Cannes Film Festival, but not that of the film's message of rebellion – despite the mockingjay symbol projected on every surface and pinned to each guest's lapel.
Inside, we were greeted with waiters and models wearing intricate black, armorlike, skintight costumes, and black eye makeup. In the backyard was an enormous, red-lit, glass-roofed tent, as big and opulent as any nightclub. Chandeliers hung 30 feet off the ground, and the only hors d'oeuvres being passed seemed to involve foie gras. The mood was more subdued than last year's, since Mockingjay is about a revolution, but still lavish enough to make it clear that Lionsgate is really, really glad it bought that YA series and wrangled these stars. And if, like Katniss, you needed to get away from it all, there was another long, dimly lit set of stairs leading all the way to the Mediterranean Sea.
Lionsgate pulled out all the stops for their lavish Mockingjay Part 1 party at a private villa 30 minutes outside of Cannes. Cast members attended the party surrounded by models dressed in Capitol finery and gorgeous decor.
The party was held at a villa reportedly on the market for 150 million euro ($205 million)! The trio huddled under a tented garden with their co-star Sam Clafin and director Francis Lawrence. Most guests took a 30-minute shuttle ride to the villa. The stone entryway was lit up with red lights and the franchise's signature Mockingjay symbol hung above the doorway. Inside models dressed in goth-like black leather, feathers and more lined a black carpet. Guests continued to drink and dance, barely noticing when the cast slipped away to destinations unknown.
