Final Fantasy 14: Shadowbringers review
The next expansion in Square Enix's MMO is easily the best yet.

Coupled with a striking new world to explore, Shadowbringers' poignant and character-driven story is one of the best in the entire series.
What is it? A bleak and story-heavy expansion to Square Enix's great MMO.
Expect to pay: $40 + $15/mo subscription fee

Nearly a month ago I wrote that Final Fantasy 14 was my favorite MMO that I hate to recommend. Playing it requires an enormous investment of time—at least a few hundred hours—and even though I love it, I worried that others might ultimately find that long journey boring and unsatisfying. But after beating Shadowbringers, Final Fantasy 14's latest expansion, those worries are gone.
Shadowbringers is the Avengers: Endgame of Final Fantasy 14, an emotionally stirring climax that draws on six years of character development, storytelling, and worldbuilding to weave an epic, dimension-spanning story rooted in the relationships of its chief characters.
It's these long and meandering character arcs that make my adventures feel so epic in scale, like if Game of Thrones was a high-fantasy anime.
If you're not familiar with Final Fantasy 14's story, it's difficult to describe Shadowbringers' premise without spoiling everything that comes before. With three expansions and hundreds of hours of story under its belt, the world of Final Fantasy 14 is so complicated and nuanced you should be able to get a degree in its history. It's intimidating to newcomers—especially because the first part of Final Fantasy 14's overarching story is a slow burn—but as a long-time player I love how rich and vast the world and its characters have become.
The gist is that, after the events of Stormblood, the world of Hydaelyn is on the precipice of an apocalyptic war orchestrated by the evil Ascians, immortal beings who want to see the world plunged into chaos as a means to revive their dark god. To help tip the first domino, the Ascians are hoping to cause an apocalypse in an alternate dimension that'll cascade into Hydaelyn itself. My companions and I have to adventure to this alternate dimension, called The First, to save it and in turn save Hydaelyn. It's exactly the sort of plot you'd expect from Brainiac, Dr. Doom, or Thanos, only wrapped up in an anime-inspired high-fantasy aesthetic.
But unlike Hydaelyn, where I'm constantly fighting the forces of darkness, The First has the opposite problem: A century earlier darkness was defeated, giving rise to an abundance of primordial light that has almost wiped out the entire planet and spawned an army of divine monsters called Sin Eaters. To save The First, I have to swap sides and become the Warrior of Darkness, a quest that explores the powers of light and darkness beyond whether they are merely good or evil.
Shadowbringers' success is, in part, owed to the way Square Enix has carefully built the world of Final Fantasy 14 over these past six years. Though previous expansions have always been a direct continuation of the main story, the scope of Shadowbringers is almost dizzying by comparison. Characters, lore, and story beats that have been left to simmer for years suddenly boil over in dramatic narrative twists and turns that make this 50-hour journey an absolute rollercoaster.
When the hero Arbert first appeared all the way back in Heavensward as a minor character, for example, I never could have imagined the pivotal role he would grow to have in Shadowbringers. It's these long and meandering character arcs that make my adventures feel MMO-sized, like if Game of Thrones was a high-fantasy anime.
Despite being an MMO, Shadowbringers does a remarkable job of emulating that golden era of JRPGs through well-written dialogue and evocative cutscenes. If you hate fetch quests in MMOs, Shadowbringers unfortunately has those in spades but I hardly cared because the context of those quests—and the cutscenes that often followed—were so enticing.

Emet Selch could easily be the best nemesis of any Final Fantasy game since FF6's Kekfa.
The writing and voice acting has been steadily improving since A Realm Reborn, but the bleakness of Shadowbringers casts the drama in a much more mature, and at times disturbing, new light. One early quest led me to a sanitorium full of people who had been infected with the light and, in time, would turn into Sin Eaters. Without a cure, the caretakers' only option was to delay the inevitable and then euthanize them. Elsewhere, the city Eulmore is full of upper-class elite living in excess as they wait for the impending apocalypse while, just outside the walls, the poor, sick, and starving waste away.
Shadowbringers addresses these heavy subjects well in the face of Final Fantasy's extensive melodrama, but my favorite part of the story is how much depth it adds to my cast of longtime companions. Thancred's story is especially gut-wrenching and brings a bittersweet end to one of FF14's longest character arcs.
Even better was Shadowbringers' ploy to have the MMO's grand villain, Emet Selch, tag along for most of the adventure. Few stories ever manage to make me sympathize with a villain while still retaining what makes them detestable, but Emet Selch could be the best Final Fantasy nemesis since FF6's Kekfa. He's batshit crazy but so charismatic and likeable that I wish we didn't have to be enemies.
Black in action
Though its story is the best reason to play, Shadowbringers adds a lot of other neat features. The new Gunbreaker and Dancer are both fun new jobs (FF14 parlance for classes) that each have a distinct playstyle and the new bunny-like Vi and tiger-esque Hrothgar character races are natural additions to the world (though I hate how many bikini-clad Vi I'm seeing everywhere now).
(Image credit: Square Enix)
These features are less exciting only because they so closely follow the same template that Square Enix has laid out since Heavensward. Instead of overhauling core game systems with each expansion like World of Warcraft, Final Fantasy 14 tends to play it safe. While that makes the addition of new jobs, raids, and other features feel somewhat predictable, I don't mind since everything is consistently good and fun—especially the new dungeons, which are some of my favorite out of any expansion so far.
The story tees up each dungeon and single-boss raid (called Trials) so well, turning each one into a climactic finale for each zone-specific questline. After spending so long in the barren, gritty deserts of Stormblood's areas, the dungeons and zones of Shadowbringers are a visual feast. Il Mheg and its accompanying dungeon of Dohn Mheg are my two favorites.
The former is an entire area stripped straight out of The Dark Crystal, an enchanting land full of playful fairies and a colony of talking dog-birds ruled over by a fairy king who also happens to be a Sin Eater. To supplant her, I had to complete the dungeon of Dohn Mheg, a vibrant underwater dreamland ruled over by a top-hat wearing frog spirit.
It's unlike anything else in Final Fantasy 14, but instead of clashing with the bleak story of Shadowbringers' other areas, it ends up being a welcome reprieve capped off with a grueling battle against the fairy king herself. Shadowbringers continues FF14's legacy for astounding music and flashy spell effects that make each boss fight memorable and thrilling.
If there's one area that Final Fantasy 14 is struggling with, it's in job balance and design, though. Shadowbringers reworked nearly every job, pruning old abilities while also adding some new ones. Most of the damage-dealing jobs are improved by these changes, but as a White Mage it's disappointing to see some of my favorite spells taken away and replaced with a new healing system that doesn't add any complexity to combat. Instead, I'm just waiting for a meter to slowly fill so I can cast the associated spell.
That isn't to say combat in Shadowbringers isn't fun. Shadowbringers' new raid bosses are still the best out of any MMO—demanding excellent team coordination while delivering an explosive spectacle that makes each fight feel tense and exciting.
Since Final Fantasy 14 relaunched six years ago, Square Enix has also kept up a good tempo of major updates every three or four months. Assuming Shadowbringers continues that template I'm excited to see where it goes next. But its main story is already so good that Shadowbringers is worth playing even if you have no intention of committing hundreds of more hours grinding raid bosses for loot drops. Final Fantasy 14 is quietly one of the best games in the series, but Shadowbringers elevates it even further by telling a bleak and heartfelt tale that generously rewards the investment made by its most hardcore fans.

I just had the pleasure of reviewing and attending a launch event for the DVD, The King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters. It is a humorous documentary on the 80s arcade game relic—Donkey Kong—and those who have spent their lives trying to master it.
Back in 1982, gamer Billy Mitchell scored a high score of over 874,300 in Donkey Kong and for twenty years no one had even come close to beating him, elevating Mitchell to a cult star. He was later named the "Gamer of the Century," but as the film shows, he's not the most humble of divas. Luckily, there's a new gamer in the O.K. Arcade, Steve Weibe, a genuinely likeable school teacher with Donkey Kong in his garage and a dream in his heart to be the best at something. But as the film's tagline reads, "In the cutthroat world of Donkey Kong, only one man can rule" and soon a cross-country, old school arcade duel for the right to be included in the 2007 Guinness World Records book ensues. Several tears, treacheries and tirades later... it's on like Donkey Kong (full review).
The launch event appropriately took place at an arcade and similar looking gaming enthusiasts--geeks--were there, I guess I'd be included in that though. The games were free and I beat several guys at a basketball shootout game and had fun playing Family Guy pinball, but the most anticipated part of the party was the Q&A with the protagonist Steve Weibe and the film's producer Ed Cunningham. I learned that they shot about 400 hours of raw footage to make the 90 minute film and that they are now turning the story into a feature film from New Line with actors and a script. Ed mentioned his ideal actor to play Steve would be Greg Kinnear and I so could see that. Steve also played Donkey Kong of course and shared some tips of the trade.
Note to self: Don't buy future hubbie a Donkey Kong arcade game.
I definitely wanted to see this movie, I heard about it awhile ago. It's crazy that someone could be so good at Donkey Kong...crazy I say.
It's on like Donkey Kong is my favorite saying. ever.
Please let me know if there is anything I can do, and again, thanks for covering "Kong."
Ps-the "don't buy future hubbie a Donkey Kong" made me laugh...I'm sure Nicole Wiebe, Steve's wife, would agree with that sentiment.


This year, the dismal market of cement and steel industry has thrown the whole development of crusher industries into chaos. Some enterprises are overwhelmed by the sudden changes and feel quite helpless. However, compared with the market decline, the sales of noble and efficient crusher are increasing rapidly. It shows that new type of crusher is the mainstream trend in the market.
As one of the enterprises that have realized the importance of innovation, Henan Hongxing always try to brand themselves with their products. In the past few years, they have successfully launched a series of crushing equipments, like jaw crusher, impact crusher and sand maker. According to different customers, they can be adjusted to fulfill the requirements.
The 'cold winter' of crusher market may be a great chance for enterprises. During this period of time, they can slow down and find a new direction. More importantly, they should brand themselves and increase the competitiveness in the market.


Head and brain injuries are among the most serious type of injuries anyone can suffer short of death. Whether or not the brain is affected, a head injury can be severe, requiring surgery and a long recovery period, or even resulting in death. If there is a traumatic brain injury involved, there are even more possible dangers and complications. Either way, a head and/or brain injury is likely to be a life-changing experience for the victim and his or her loved ones, including involving overwhelming physical, emotional, and financial damages.
If you live in Middle Tennessee, you are fortunate to have Cummings Law, a superior personal injury practice, situated in Nashville. Brian Cummings has the aggressive negotiation and litigation skills to win your case and the empathy to support you through this extremely challenging time. We have a track record of successful outcomes so you can put your trust in us — we want the next substantial settlement we win to be for you and your family.
If you have suffered a head or brain injury because of the negligence, medical malpractice, or malice of another person, you are entitled to significant compensation for your pain, loss of income, and any resulting impairment. If there was extreme misconduct involved that resulted in your injury, a highly capable personal injury attorney may also be able to win you punitive damages.
If you have experienced the horror of losing a family member in a wrongful death because of a head/brain injury, your family also has legal rights to receive damages. In order to obtain the compensation you deserve, you will probably have to sue the responsible party. This is where seeking out a first-rate personal attorney becomes a priority, including because injured people who retain an experienced attorney receive up to three times more money damages than those people who do not retain a top-notch attorney.
The skull is well-designed to protect the brain from injury, so in some cases, the scalp may be banged, cut, or bruised (a closed head injury) without resulting in a traumatic brain injury (TBI). Sadly, however, open head injuries in which the skull is fractured or penetrated most often cause permanent brain injuries, ranging from mild concussions to mental or emotional impairment, paralysis, or loss or sight or hearing.
Depending on the severity of the head/brain injury, victims may suffer symptoms ranging from headaches, nausea and vomiting, lightheadedness, confusion and memory loss to momentary loss of consciousness, prolonged coma or intellectual or psychiatric impairment. Other possible symptoms include memory loss, hearing or sight disturbances, seizures, sleep or balance problems. Traumatic brain injuries are classified as either mild, moderate, or severe, depending upon the number and intensity of the symptoms.
Those who have suffered severe head/brain injuries will likely need long-term rehabilitative treatment to relearn simple functions such as walking, talking, dressing, bathing, and processing information. In worst case scenarios, patients may remain in a vegetative state, requiring around round-the-clock care through the hiring of someone to serve as a "sitter" for that person.
Head/brain injuries can change every part of your life and the life of your family members. Victims are typicallyunable to work, require intensive physical, psychological, and occupational therapy, and suffer from some or all of the painful, disorienting symptoms mentioned above.
When you consult with Brian Cummings of Cummings Law, you will realize immediately that you are dealing with a personal injury attorney who has in-depth understanding of the catastrophic effects of the events you've experienced to provide you with top-notch legal help. He will provide you with empathy and support and is committed to obtaining every dollar of compensation you deserve. He not only has extensive knowledge of personal injury law in Tennessee, but the power and agility to win your case. Brian Cummings has recovered tens of millions of dollars for his clients and wants nothing more than to fight forcefully for you through skillful negotiation and cutting-edge litigation. As you see his energy level at work, you will understand why he was selected in 2017 and 2018 as an Elite Lawyer of the South by The National Law Journal.
It is always wise to consult a personal injury attorney as quickly as possible when pertinent evidence, both physical and medical, is fresh and witnesses' memories are still vivid. Also, there is a 1-year statute of limitations in Tennessee for filing a personal injury lawsuit.
You should also be aware of comparative fault law that governs personal injury lawsuits in Tennessee. Even when someone else has been the primary cause of your injury by, for example, neglecting to clean a slippery floor, the courts may decide that, because you did something that may have negligently contributed to cause your injury that you bear some of the responsibility for the accident that resulted in your injuries.
This legal concept is known as modified comparative fault and may be used to reduce the amount of damages your are awarded. In Tennessee, if you are found to bear more than 50 percent of the responsibility for the accident, you will not receive any compensation at all. You should also be aware that Tennessee puts a cap on noneconomic damages such as pain, suffering, and loss of companionship and on awards for particular medical injuries, such as amputation.
Using the example above, if the court finds that you were negligent in a way that contributed to cause your injuries, it may decide that you bear 20 percent of the responsibility for the damages and injuries you suffered. In this case, if the damages you are awarded amount to $100,000, 20 percent of that amount will be deducted from your compensation and you will only receive $80,000. Cummings Law will, however, challenge the defense's argument that you bear some liability for your own injuries to help maximize your eventual recovery.
If you or a loved one has sustained a head/brain injury, you are no doubt devastated and emotional. Let Cummings Law help you get back to a position of strength and stability. We have handled many such cases before and know exactly how to provide you with aggressive legal representation and caring, responsive service. We also know how to win cases and will not charge you any fee until we recover money damages for you and your family. Call us or fill out a contact form on our website so we can help you stop being a victim and start being a winner.


Making Pita chips at home is not only easy but so much more cheaper than store bought pita chips. These are great for a quick snack and perfect in lunch boxes along with a little dip. It's one of our family favorites and always creates a bit of excitement when the family knows I am using the left over pita bread to make these chips!
Cut the pita bread into shapes – I sometimes cut it neatly into triangles or squares, other times I just rip it up with my hands.
In a large bowl mix together the seasoning, salt and olive oil. Add the cut pita bread to the bowl and give it a good toss. Add cheese and chilli flakes if you prefer. We love adding some grated parmesan in ours.
Lay it out evenly on a non-stick baking tray and bake for roughly 20-30mins or until the pita bread has turned a nice golden brown color. It needs to be crunchy but not super brown, so keep an eye on it so that it doesn't burn.
Remove from the oven and let it cool. Serve it up with some dips of your choice. We like it with some home-made hummus andMoutabel / babaghannoush. As an alternative to croutons, add these pita chips to your salad.

4:30 am show of Rajinikanth's 2.0 in Tamil Nadu was overwhelming reveals trade expert
Rashma Shetty November 29 2018, 8.13 pm
All those who were suspecting that Rajinikanth mania is over are being proven absolutely WRONG by the actor and his fans. Shankar's 2.0 starring the Thalaiva and Akshay Kumar hit the screens on Thursday. Early buzz suggests that the film is doing exceptionally well. Some are assured that this movie is way better than its prequel Enthiran, which released in 2010. Trade expert Akshaye Rathi got a first-hand experience of the Rajini-mania when he went to watch the first show of 2.0 at a cinema hall in Tamil Nadu and he was overwhelmed and how!
When Akshaye was quizzed about Rajinikanth's dismal performance at the box office in the recent past he said, "Every film, for every actor is important. And even though his last few films have not lived up to the expectations one has from a Rajinikanth film, but that has not affected Rajinikanth's stardom." He then continued to narrate the morning ritual at a theatre that left him in awe of the superstar. Rathi divulged details and said, "I'm in Tamil Nadu right now and I have watched 4:30 am show of 2.0. And 4:30 in the morning there was a house-full show, there were celebrations, there was euphoria and people came passionately to watch this film. So, clearly the last few films that didn't do as well have not taken away anything from the stardom that Rajinikanth enjoys. Given a good film, an entertaining film, then people will celebrate it like they always do. People were going berserk over this film."
That's not all, Akshaye also predicts that Shankar's movie will bring happy smiles on the face of the superstar, the producers and his die-hard fans, "This film, I think is going to be one of the biggest blockbusters of Tamil cinema till date. The unanimous opinion is that this film is better than Enthiran."
2.0 Movie Review: Rajinikanth and Akshay Kumar pack a paisa vasool performance!
Akshaye didn't stop at that he also went on to add why 2.0 is special for more reasons than just the expected box office results, he added, "It is better than most other Indian films when it comes to technology, when it comes to VFX, when it comes to 3D. So, I really think this movie is going to be an absolute ride."
THIS is called Rajini-mania! 😎 #SuperstarRajini @rajinikanth @shankarshanmugh #2Point0 #FirstDayFirstShow pic.twitter.com/kJdvW5JZvI
— Akshaye Rathi (@akshayerathi) November 29, 2018
According to Akshaye's predictions, it will be a cakewalk for Akshay-Rajinikanth's 2.0 to beat the first-day collection of Aamir Khan – Amitabh Bachchan starrer Thugs Of Hindostan. However, it looks very unlikely that the movie will beat the massive first-day collection record of SS Rajamouli's magnum opus Baahubali. The film's fate as per Rathi is confirmed, it will be a bonafide hit. Well, we bet that Rajinikanth fans are in for a super treat this weekend. The film will enjoy a great run at the theatres considering that it will also have an extended weekend to cash on.
It's 4am , off for the first show of #2point0FromToday excited!

Excited as the wait for @shankarshanmugh sir's
#2Point0 is over. One more day to see the many avatars of @rajinikanth sir & @akshaykumar sir. Best wishes to the entire team...

#2point0 OUT OF THE WORLD EXPERIENCE . ALL INDIAN BOX OFFICE RECORDS WILL BE REWRITTEN 🔥 Bow down to Thalaivar @rajinikanth , The Master @shankarshanmugh , @akshaykumar @arrahman @LycaProductions @iamAmyJackson and the thousands of ppl involved !
Feel like watching on repeat 😇
— Anirudh Ravichander (@anirudhofficial) November 29, 2018
Rajinikanth mania was not just restricted to the actor's fan clubs. Baahubali director SS Rajamouli and Oscar winner sound designer Resul Pookutty too took to Twitter to express their excitement about Thalaiva's movie. Looks like the year will end on a high note with Rajinikanth delivering at the box office. This success will also be a tight slap on all the detractors who wanted the actor to quit acting and instead focus on his political career.

In fact, early trade reports suggest that this movie is set to break many box office records. The fans will go home entertained, the creative team will heave a sigh of satisfaction and the producers will go smiling to the banks. Rajinikanth's 2.0 was made at a whopping budget of Rs 540 plus crore. And as per early estimates, the movie will mint at least Rs 200 crore in the first weekend.

Georgia's economic growth has accelerated to 6%, supported by impressive growth in tourism receipts and remittances inflows. Both are spurring demand and providing material support to key sectors of the economy. Although private household demand remains subdued, the economy is set to deliver its fastest pace of growth since 2012. Inflation is under control, just below the NBG's 3% target, and there are no clear risk factors in sight. The trade in goods deficit will widen in 2018 but the bulk of it continues to be offset by a surplus in services trade and migrant/worker remittances. Georgia is tracking along with reforms and the current EFF program with the IMF is functioning smoothly.

When you need to rent a dumpster in Paradox to use at your home, it's a great idea to keep several guidelines in mind. First, ascertain the size dumpster that will work best for your job. Temporary dumpsters commonly come in 10, 20, 30 and 40 yard sizes. Next, think about the positioning of the dumpster on your own premises. Recommendations call for you to give a space that's twice the width and height of the container. This can ensure proper height and space clearance.
The price you're quoted for the container will include a one-time delivery and pick-up fee, together with regular fees for disposal, fuel and tax. You ought to also realize you could just fill the container to the top; no debris should be sticking out. As the homeowner, you need to also check to your local city or municipality to determine if a license is required to put the container on the road.
Renting a 40 yard dumpster will get you a container that holds about 40 cubic yards of waste. Dumpster sizes and dimensions are not totally conventional from company to company, but common measurements for a 40 yard container are 22 feet long by 8 feet wide by 8 feet high. This is the biggest size that a lot of dumpster businesses typically rent, therefore it's perfect for big residential projects as well as for commercial and industrial use.
If you're looking to rent a dumpster in Paradox, one of your main considerations is going to be cost. There are generally two pricing options available when renting a dumpster in Paradox. Flat rate is pricing determined by the size of the dumpster, not the amount of material you place in it. Per ton pricing will charge you based on the weight you need hauled.
One sort of pricing structure isn't necessarily more expensive than the other. If you know just how much material you have to throw away, you might get a better deal with per ton pricing. On the other hand, flat rate pricing can assist you to keep a limitation on costs when you're dealing with unknown weights. Whether you regularly rent dumpsters for work or just want a one-time rental for a project round the house, you need to look around to find the best rental prices predicated on your own needs.
It is difficult to beat a roll off dumpster when you have a sizable undertaking that may create a great deal of debris. Most rental companies comprise dropping off and picking up the dumpster in the costs, so you can prevent additional fees. Roll off dumpsters typically have time limitations because companies have to get them back for other customers. This really is a possible drawback if you aren't great at meeting deadlines.
Dumpster bags in many cases are convenient for small occupations with free deadlines. In case you don't want lots of room for debris, then the bags could work well for you. Many businesses are also pleased to let you maintain the bags for as long as you desire. That makes them useful for longer jobs.
Whether or not you desire a permanent or roll-off dumpster is dependent upon the type of job and service you'll need. Long-Lasting dumpster service is for ongoing demands that continue longer than simply a few days. This includes things like day to day waste and recycling needs. Temporary service is simply what the name suggests; a one time demand for job-special waste removal.
Temporary rolloff dumpsters are delivered on a truck and are rolled off where they'll be used. All these are typically bigger containers that could manage all the waste that comes with that particular job. Long-Lasting dumpsters are usually smaller containers as they are emptied on a regular basis and so do not need to hold as much at one time.
If you request a long-lasting dumpster, some companies demand at least a one-year service agreement for that dumpster. Roll off dumpsters merely need a rental fee for the time that you just maintain the dumpster on the job.
Planning ahead for your dumpster rental in Paradox will make your project easier and safer to end on time. When renting a dumpster in Paradox, follow these suggestions to help you plan ahead.
1. Clear an area that is large enough for the dumpster to sit for a number of days or weeks. Additionally, make sure that you and other folks have access to the dumpster. You should have a clear path that prevents accidents.
There are a lot of things to consider when picking a local or national dumpster rental firm in Paradox. Follow these guidelines that will help you determine which choice is better for you.
A local dumpster rental firm in Paradox may offer better customer services that help you complete your job while keeping prices low. Many of them, nevertheless, have a limited number of dumpsters to rent. If you don't schedule an appointment in advance, you may not have the choice you need.
A national dumpster rental firm in Paradox will usually have more sizes and layouts to satisfy the unique needs of your project. National firms are likewise an excellent choice for construction teams which work in a number of cities. Some folks, however, complain that national firms are not as flexible as locally owned businesses.
Dumpster rental firms generally have set prices, but the fine art of negotiation is always in play. Should you want to dicker on the cost, call around to other businesses first so you understand what the going rental rate is. When you're talking to the business you wish to utilize, only mention other prices that are better than theirs. Some businesses WOn't just fit that lower price, they are going to actually overcome it to please their customers.
You can even ask about discounts when you're renting a dumpster in Paradox. Some businesses will provide special discounts to active members of the military, veterans, seniors, members of the local Chamber of Commerce and much more. It never hurts to ask; you can sometimes save up to 10 percent or more with this strategy.
You can even save on the price by asking about the best approach to avert additional expenses (like tipping fees or overage charges) and making sure you order the right size container; you do not desire to pay for more container than you actually need.

Although a Black Panther movie finally became a reality in 2018, there are definitely a few Black Panther tales that won't make it into the film series. These disturbing Black Panther stories range from the bizarre to the deeply troubling.
As Marvel's first African superhero, King T'Challa of Wakanda has routinely tackled issues of racism, as well as complex geo-political politics. Putting aside communal real-world issues, Black Panther is a hero fraught with personal problems. Whenever he takes on Klaw — the villain that killed his father — the fun usually stops, as T'Challa rarely has the self-control to know when to stop beating his nemesis. Additionally, some of the more uncomfortable scenes from recent comics paint the hero as a misogynist who has no problem keeping his country's life-saving advancements under wraps.
No matter how much you already know about Black Panther, some of the hero's grittier moments may still surprise you. Disney wants nothing to do with the ugly aspects of crime fighting.
Black Panther's earliest solo comics appeared as part of Marvel's Jungle Action series (yikes). At the start, creators were completely down to tackle issues of race in America. While the story is hardly progressive by modern standards, there's something timelessly inspiring about seeing Black Panther beat up hate groups like the Ku Klux Klan.
While a Black Panther movie may tackle similar issues, its highly unlikely that scenes from Jungle Action's "The Panther vs. the Klan" will ever be replicated. In one instance, T'Challa is captured by the Klan and lashed to a cross. Thankfully, the hero narrowly escapes with his life, but the sequence is a deeply disturbing reflection of real-life hatred.
Is Black Panther Really The Modern Day Version Of Lion King, Or Is Everyone Just Tripping?
Wakanda's technological and scientific prowess is world renowned. While Black Panther's futuristic kingdom can be endlessly fascinating to learn about, certain advancements raise some disturbing ethical questions.
During negotiations with other countries, some of Wakanda's advisors leverage "the cure for cancer" as a bargaining chip. Allegedly, T'Challa and his nation are sitting on a cure for the devastating disease, but will only share it if they can profit off its use. Black Panther the Big Pharma executive is not exactly heroic.
A low point for Black Panther comes in the middle of Marvel's Civil War. When Black Widow tries to confront T'Challa about his allegiances, he dismisses her, saying that he would "never fight a woman." To make things worse, he follows up his initial insult by letting it slip that he has "people for that." This moment of misogyny feels shockingly out of character for Black Panther; this is not the way a hero should act.
T'Challa apparently possesses the technology to stop all gunfire. In the New Fantastic Four series, Storm and Black Panther are leading a team of heroes, who come dangerously close to getting gunned down by the police. Just before bullets begin raining down on the crew, T'Challa tells everyone not to worry, then casually mentions that "Wakanda developed technology to defeat firearms centuries ago."
While the moment is supposed to be humorous, it ends up raising some serious questions. If Black Panther can really disable any firearm without lifting a finger, why doesn't he make this technology freely available to the countless regions that suffer daily from gun violence?
Considering that the comics have yet to follow up on this pressing issue, it's highly unlikely that a movie will ever rise to the challenge.

Supermarket sweep?
By Michael Crook and Bruce Hartley-Raven, Michael Crook and Bruce Hartley-Raven Michael Crook and Bruce Hartley-Raven2008-07-16T14:55:00+01:00
The government's revised planning statement is supposed to boost the health of town centres but it could have the opposite effect
This week the government has published the long-awaited proposed revisions to its planning policy for town centres and retailing (PPS6). In launching the consultation the secretary of state Hazel Blears said "I want to see our town centres and independent shops busy and thriving and I'm absolutely committed to help defend their future...We need a policy which provides the right degree of protection for smaller retailers." The launch statement goes on to say that the "blunt and simplistic" and "dysfunctional" need test is, in part, being replaced by a "tougher" impact test.
Whilst the documentation does not confirm one way or the other if the government will be pursuing the introduction of a 'competition test' for food stores. It confirms that the government will respond on the Competition Commission's recommendations "shortly", and that "today's consultation on PPS6 is a clear signal of intent that will reassure town centre managers and independent retailers up and down the country."
In summary, the thrust of the changes suggest a greatly enhanced role for the issue of competition and economic performance in planning decisions. Nearly all of the supporting analysis and justification for the revisions concentrates on the perceived constraints of current policy on the large store sector. The changes could be seen as easing the development of such new stores. Given the launch statement, amazingly there is nothing of substance in the document on the government's intended policy for small and independent retailers. So what are the proposed areas of policy change, and the implications?
As widely anticipated, the "need test" is being removed as a consideration from the development control process. However, in the course of preparing their development plans, regional and local authorities will still be required to undertake an assessment of need in order to assess the quantum and type of allocations for new floor space for which they should be identifying sites.
The role of impact testing within plan making is now more pronounced. It is also taken as a given that large scale developments will have an impact on local centres. The result of this is likely to be a level of rigour within retail assessments forming part of planning authorities' evidence base not often seen to-date, and much more emphasis on the role of inspectors judging if such proposals are sound. The challenge will be to ensure there are enough inspectors with these specialist skills.
The draft PPS6 recognises that 'impacts' can be positive as well as negative, and thus the process of impact testing wMichael Crook and Bruce Hartley-Raven, RICS ill be the balancing of all of these disparate matters to give an overall conclusion on impact. In reality, this is no different to the process of determining retail proposals under the current policy.
As with some other recent government policy publications, the perceived economic benefits of competition are given greater and explicit prominence. Promoting competition between retailers and enhancing consumer choice is now the second most important objective of PPS6 after the protection of town centres, and the point is reinforced by the reference to "raising productivity and the growth rate" as another secondary objective.
The draft PPS goes on to say that planning policies should be under-pinned by economic data, and even makes explicit reference to the monitoring of the pricing of goods as a driver of planning policy formulation.
Given the fanfare of the ministerial announcement, it is nothing short of amazing that the proposed modifications to the policy contain no new powers specifically designed to define and protect small shops.
The message from the government could not be clearer; planning authorities must give considerable weight to the promotion and furtherance of economic objectives.
What is not quite so clear at this stage is the weight that will be given to such factors in the development control process. The clue is in the proposed abolition of the "need test" for applicants promoting development on edge or out of centre sites not in accordance with the plan. If planning authorities don't identify sufficient sites, they may find consenting schemes harder to resist on unallocated sites.
Given the above, it is surprising that the draft PPS does not make explicit the government's stance on the competition test put forward by the Competition Commission. At face value all the indicators suggest that the government will in due course introduce this, but will it be part of the planning system? Not only is this now the subject of a legal challenge (and hence probably why no mention of the test is made in the draft), there is also the curious inclusion of the wording "the identity of the occupier is not normally material to a planning decision". An essential component of the competition test would be the granting of consents either personal to, or preventing occupation by certain retailers. Thus, it appears the Government has left the door ajar to make a late call on whether to include the competition test or not.
Given the fanfare of the ministerial announcement, it is nothing short of amazing that the proposed modifications to the policy contain no new powers specifically designed to define and protect small shops. All that is suggested is that planning authorities may find it appropriate to pursue "clear, locally specific and flexible policies" to protect the established character of certain shopping centres.
Without a clear definition of what constitutes small or independent retailers the high probability is that most local authorities will, at best, struggle to put together sound policies that provide any meaningful protection for the sector.
All of which brings us back finally to the government's most important objective of planning for the growth and development of existing centres. The documentation explains that between 1994 and 2005 the proportion of new retail floor space located within town centres as a proportion of all retail floor space increased from under 25% to about 40%. The trend flattened off between 1994 and 1996, when the forerunner of current policy (PPG6) was published.
PPG6 only required need to be taken account of in the plan making process, not development control. Through a series of controversial decisions and case-law this eventually led to the Caborn statement in February 1999 bringing development control within the orbit of need. It is perhaps no coincidence that the proportion of new town centre development only materially increased after this point.
Thus, the ultimate question remains whether the government's latest proposed policy changes will take us back to the pre-1999 position for retail development trends, and the very opposite of what the policy is intended to do.

A lot of garbage, trash, along with clutter only leads to a lot more filth as well as an unhealthy predicament. No one actually wants to reside this way, in particular when there are youngsters and dogs and cats involved.
Since you have hired somebody to remodel your current den, you need to find a dumpster swift. You know that the mess will begin to pile up as soon as the contractor obtains working. You have to be able to call up a company which sends out next day dumpsters to rent.
Is it possible you imagine the surroundings of a place whose waste materials accumulated more quickly than they had the ability to dispose of? How many kids would be hurting because they were just being little ones and came across some pointed object as well completely harmful to their health? Suppose the stress of waking up every day to animals eating at restaurants of the rubbish that has amassed, or even seeing and stinking the animal squander. When you dispose of your rubbish in a design Roll Off For Rent in Nixon, TX you do not need to separate recyclables; the dumpster business handles that. This saves an individual time and energy.
Before dumpster arrives to where you are, make sure that you help make enough area at your job site to placed the dumpster. It should be put into a location where it is easy to the truck driver to produce and get the dumpster. As a final point, you have to consult with the Roll Off For Rent in Nixon, TX business about the costs of the Roll Off For Rent in Nixon, TX, find out if the company offers any concealed charges. It's also wise to know about the cost levied because of the company around the extra disposal loaded in to the dumpster and so on.
Dumpster renting are actually an uncomplicated process. You want to do some research when you pick the business and what is best for you. The size of the dumpster, disposal rubbish bin or garbage rubbish bin is one of the largest things that you will discover to vary. Dumpsters are usually large, as opposed to disposal receptacles are more compact.
You can have your current den redesigned to fit about how you use that. If you want that bigger, get rid of a wall membrane as mentioned above. If you want it a lot more professional looking you'll probably decide to have wood made bookshelves fitted. You may need a greater area so that your clients may sit a lot more comfortably. In case you have more than one consumer from the very same business appear at a time, you do not need one person or more sitting away from your bedroom in a different room.


Genes, the Environment, and Me (GEM) works with school districts and communities in the Yakima Valley and throughout Washington State to develop a science education program focused on teaching about how genes and the environment interact to determine human traits, including disease conditions. Working with communities with a high percentage of underrepresented minority students, GEM supports teaching and learning about fundamental genetic concepts, complex diseases like type 2 diabetes that are influenced by gene-environment interactions, and how basic biomedical research is translated into clinical and public health practice through classroom instruction, after school programs, and community-based science celebrations. Please see Instructional Materials for both units, "What can we learn from worms? How the nematode C. elegans maintains balance in a changing environment" and "Type 2 Diabetes: A complex disease of gene and environment interactions."
In 2012, 2013, and 2014, GEM and UW GEAR UP (Gaining Early Awareness and Readiness for Undergraduate Programs) co-hosted the Science and Engineering Festival in Yakima, Washington. Over 2000 middle and high school students attended each festival as part of a school field trip, and approximately 400 community members attended during the evening. The 2012 event featured the SEPA-funded health exhibit and research project called "Let's Get Healthy," a robotics competition, hands-on activities and exhibits from the Pacific Science Center, Oregon Museum of Science and Industry and Museum of Flight, and much much more. GEM sponsored nine booths featuring biomedical research and career pathways, including building DNA from legos, presented by the Women in Genome Sciences; a giant walk-through colon that teaches about colon cancer from the Sunnyside Center for Community Health Promotion and the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center; and a gel electrophoresis activity presented by the Madigan Army Medical Center.
In 2013 and 2014, the festival expanded to also include half hour biomedical workshops for visiting classrooms and bilingual speakers during the evening.
This project is supported by a Science Education Partnership Award (SEPA) from the Office of Research Infrastructure Programs (ORIP) of the National Institutes of Health through Grant Number R25OD010966.

HOW TECHNOLOGY HAS ADVANCED THE ONLINE GAMING INDUSTRY
With the continuous development of smartphones, more and more games are now becoming available on mobile devices. Studies show that most online players are mobile gamers. If in the past, mobile games came with a hefty price tag, technology has allowed millions of gamers to download several mobile games in different genres for free. In parallel, mobile game developers now have the ability to create mobile games that are visually engaging with optimum sound quality because of the advanced graphics cards of mobile devices.
Winter Circle Productions
Winter Circle Productions began in 2008 as an independent music event promotion and production house to attract music that its founders felt was missing from a post-Katrina New Orleans. Recipient of Offbeat Magazine's 2011 New Orleans Promoter of the Year Award and having hundreds of events under its belt, including the annual BUKU Music + Art Project, WCP is now positioned as one of the most trusted tastemakers on the Gulf Coast.
Ongoing transitions in gaming industry
Article | January 19, 2021
The gaming industry is continuously evolving with current transitions derived from VR/AR, blockchain, 5G and cloud computing. The aim of this transition is to fulfill requirements of gamers such as reducing the cost of gaming, developing more immersive experience, converting tools bought in games as transferable assets, enabling gamers to play graphic intensive games on low cost devices. Currently popular games are on the go to create augmented reality versions to be played on AR headsets with their mobile phones. The google stadia platform(a platform where graphic intensive games run in data centers and gamers can play them via web browsers) has also enabled the gaming industry to eliminate the computing limitations imposed by running games in mobile devices. The only barrier in coupling both technologies to have the best of both worlds is low bandwidth of 4G which will soon be expanded when 5G rolls out in the market. TRANSITIONS IN GAMING INDUSTRY The real time game play is currently not possible for games running in data centers and being rendered on web browsers of a gamer's device as there is latency in reflecting the character's action on the press of a button. Such a transition will eliminate the need for highly expensive gaming consoles which has been curbing the growth rate of the gaming industry. One more concern from gamers that's being a barrier in revenue generation for the gaming industry is that the weapons, power packs, kits and tool kits bought in any game are simply virtual and become useless when they are done with the game. The idea to buy such time bound utility becomes insensible for players. So, now the gaming industry is evaluating the option to register these buyouts in games on blockchain which can later be used as a non tangible asset by players to trade easily. The gaming theory that's getting popularised these days will eventually leverage the AR and VR technology to transform the education industry. The idea to provide customers with user manuals running in augmented reality that can enable a non trained worker to operate the machine is also booming. Solidworks by 3Dplm is one such tool that's heading in this direction. The transitions mentioned above are quite exciting and the way gaming industry and mentioned technologies are evolving we can expect to get our hands on such exciting gaming technology soon too at a fraction of current costs.
The Quest Is The Second Generation Of VR. You Charge It Up, Stick It On And It's Great
Ever since the adoption of VR gaming to the gaming market, it sure has seen upheavals—disruption by significant players in the industry like PSVR, Rift, and the Vive. PSVR has been the best-selling VR headset ever since its launch, selling over 5 million units on December 31st, 2020. While these numbers portray PSVR as successful, its hardware is lacking behind, and still, no sign of upgrades has been hinted by Sony. Speaking of which, a lot of gamers have long been waiting for a hardware upgrade or a hardware sequel—PSVR 2—from Sony, but very little or nothing has been said on this matter.


Jonas embraces his destiny, Sarah embraces her boredom, and help comes from the community.
Chapter 2: Bad Decision? is the eleventh blog in the LG15: The Resistance blog series. It is also the video for the second chapter in the series. It should not be confused with the lonelygirl15 video Bad Decisions.
Voice: The fountain of youth is real and it's in the blood of dozens of girls across the world. Their secret is known by few, yet desired by all. They are pawns in the most dangerous of games. We are the Resistance. Our mission is to find these girls and protect them from those who want to use them and destroy them. And we document what happens to them, so that their stories live on. This is the story of one of those girls. We are the Resistance. We will not be stopped.
Maggie: And so it went, the princess's days were filled with brutality, rage, and pain. So much pain. Except for those rare moments when her friend, Beaumont, is in it with her. That kindness would give her the strength to continue. To continue until the day she and all the other girls would be rescued by their knights in shining armor.
Maggie: But help was quite a ways away. Still, knowing that there was kindness like that got given by the boy. Knowing that out there somewhere that people cared.
Nurse: Oh, Beaumont...He's been transfered. You won't have to worry about him touching you anymore.
Maggie: Hope is a fragile thing. We each must choose whether to let everything form our futures or bring forth the nightmares of our past. But sometimes, in a world of princesses and kings, knights and maidens, hope is all you have.
Maggie: And so we wait. We hope. We search for our own shining moment of destiny.

Professional Statement
Throughout my research I have focused on how DNA is able to be an active participant in its transactions. DNA structure, particularly the structure of supercoiled DNA, is much more variable and dynamic than many people realize. This insight has allowed me to contribute to a better understanding of protein-DNA interactions and DNA itself. In the process, I have also developed unique DNA tools that are proving to be extremely useful, not only for basic research, but also clinical applications. I have developed a patented protocol to generate milligram quantities of supercoiled minicircle DNA, as small as 250 bp. Using these DNA minicircles, I precisely determine the supercoiling dependence of topoisomerase binding and additionally elucidate the mechanism through which DNA topoisomerases recognize their supercoiled DNA substrate and determine where to act. These minicircles also provide a unique insight into the structure of supercoiled DNA, including previously unappreciated differences between overwound and underwound DNA. Throughout my career I have collaborated with researchers from many disciplines including biochemistry, biophysics, physics, mathematics, structural biology, and medicine.
