It's commonplace for novels to be adapted into dramas and I am sure some of you are curious why popular novels get renamed. Trying to guess the reasons for some upcoming dramas can be quite interesting.
The novel Emperor's Conquest 帝王业 was renamed to Empress' Conquest (literal translation Emperor Phoenix Conquest 帝凰业). The change for a more feminine title was said to be done on behalf of Zhang Ziyi. The new name didn't seem to stick as a poster was recently released with the title Monarch Industry 江山故人.
The Rise of Phoenixes has undergone the same thing. Based from a novel of the same name, the Chinese title Feng Quan 凰权 emphasizes the phoenix's rise to power and focuses on the heroine. Due to Chen Kun being the leading man, the title became Feng Quan Yi Tian Xia 凰权·弈天下 to include Yi from Chen Kun's character named Ning Yi.
Recent reports indicate another name change to Tian Sheng Chang Ge 天盛长歌 that may have been due to censorship as Quan (means power) may have been too dominant. This drama was also modified from 50 episodes to 70 episodes which I don't think the fans mind. The English title seems quite unaffected.
The novel The Chronicles of the Six Dynasties 六朝纪事 was changed to Empress of the Ming 大明皇妃·孙若微传 to highlight the position of lead actress Tang Wei.
This drama is the only one on the list that is not based on a novel, but it still underwent a few name changes. It was originally called Female Tycoon of Great Qin 大秦女首富, but may have been too generic and literal in its meaning that it was changed to Win the World 赢天下. This may not have gone well with censorship as it comes off really strong, so it was again changed to Legend of Ba Qing 巴清传.
The novel Empress Fuyao 扶摇皇后 was changed to a simpler Fuyao 扶摇. The English title is Legend of Fuyao.
Zhao Liying's new costume drama is based from the novel Do You Know? It Ought To Be a Red Flower Amongst The Leaves 知否?知否?应是绿肥红瘦 which was later published as Legend of Concubine's Daughter Minglan 庶女·明兰传. The drama stuck with the poetic Chinese title while choosing The Story of Minglan for its English title.
The novel Poison Genius Consort 天才小毒妃 was changed to Legend of Yun Xi 芸汐传. It seems like the show runners decided to go mainstream with this one to add to the many Legend of Somethings.


Windows 8.1 is set to debut in one week flat. The latest and greatest version of Windows will be here next Friday, and you can bet the farmhouse that Microsoft is applying the final touches to the new OS right this very moment.
Speaking of touches, it is worth a mention here that the refreshed operating system is set to come with a brand new version of Fresh Paint — the popular painting app that has been a fan favorite ever since it launched with the vanilla Windows 8.
In fact, one of the first things we learned about Windows 8.1 (it went by the codename Windows Blue back then) was that it would arrive with this revamped app.
All the options that were included in the test version of Fresh Paint (released with Windows 8.1 Preview) like watercolor, a new graphite pencil set, an updated interface and image filters make the cut in this final version of the app.
Users that are running Windows 8 will be automatically upgraded to this new version of Fresh Paint when they deploy Windows 8.1, the company confirmed.

Q: Store Locator Module suitable for mobile We have +3000 store locations to show on a map.
The store locator module we are using right now works fine on a desktop view, but when we open it on a phone it's taking between 40 seconds to 2 minutes to load the map and place the markers. We tried customizing it, to avoid placing the markers on the initial load, and show them only on performing a search, but the speed is still a problem.
In this case the issue seems to be with the amount of Javascript code that needs to be executed. Newer phones are getting better response times (under a minute for iPhone 6S), but older ones are taking close to 2 minutes.
Is there any recommendation for a store locator module with a +3000 stores database that works fine on a mobile device?

A: Take a look at Maxmind GeoIP javascript API.
You can json encode your store location data.
You can serve a store page instead of a map using latitude and longitude returned by GeoIP.
https://www.maxmind.com/en/geoip2-city
You can add the Google API to try to optimize for local search.

A: You can choose from below mentioned Magento 2 store locator extension providers

EPS Beads raw material is filled into the pre-expand machine, where the beads are heated and steamed to expand them to the desired densities.
After the expanding process, the expanded EPS Beads will flow out from the output gate and enter the fluidized bed.
After the process of expanding and fluidizing EPS bead is completed, the Beads is stored inside silos for aging process. EPS will be left alone for at least 4 hours. This process have to be done so the blowing agent can escape replaced by oxygen entering into EPS beads pores.
The EPS beads then routed into the blocking machine to be moulded into blocks through heating and pressuring process so the EPS beads will fuse against each other to form a dense block at a specific density. Then the blocks have to be let alone again to lower the water content in the final aging process.

Phoenix, Ariz. – October 14, 2015 – Randy Pullen, former Chair of Arizona's Republican party, sent out a tweet during last night's debate in response to the Black Lives Matter movement.
Pullen's tweet received several responses from activists and local reporters.
"You knew all this 'Second Amendment' posturing was always about white people only having guns, right?" tweeted local blogger Donna Gratehouse.
The responses didn't appear to faze Pullen as his tweet was left in tact.
"Randy Pullen thinks his racist tweet was funny," stated Julie Erfle, executive director of ProgressNow Arizona, "but for the hundreds of thousands of Americans who have been affected by gun violence, this isn't a laughing matter.

Q: Adding python matplotlib subplot to exiting plot doesn't work I'd like to have two plots stacked up.
What I did so far is
I'm plotting live data this way:
    def animate(i):

        plt.tick_params(axis='y', which='both', labelleft=False, labelright=True)
        plt.cla()
        plt.plot(df.time, df.close)
        plt.plot(df.time, df.sma)
        plt.plot(df.time, df.price_line, 'g-')
        plt.title('ETHUSDT')

ani = FuncAnimation(plt.gcf(), animate, interval = 200)

plt.tight_layout()

plt.pause(0.001)

Result:

Now I add a sublot this way:
vola_ax = plt.subplot(2,1,1)
vola_ax.plot(df.time, df.volatility)

But the when I run the code I get first this:

Then it turns to this:

But my desired output is (roughly)this:

How can I achieve this?

A: Try creating the figure and axes in the beginning:
def animate(i):

    ax0, ax1 = axs

    plt.cla()

    ax0.plot(df.time, df.close)
    ax0.plot(df.time, df.sma)
    # ax0.plot(df.time, df.price_line, 'g-')
    ax0.set_title('ETHUSDT')
    ax0.tick_params(axis='y', which='both', labelleft=False, labelright=True)

    ax1.plot(df.time, df.volatility)

fig, axs = plt.subplots(2, 1)

ani = FuncAnimation(fig, animate, interval = 200)

plt.tight_layout()

plt.pause(0.001)

A: I would recommend creating the two subplots separately when instantiating the figure and plotting the data on each ax object separately, as follows:
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
nrow = 2; ncol = 1;
fig, axs = plt.subplots(figsize=(16, 16), nrows=nrow, ncols=ncol)
ax = axs[0] # ie. the top subplot
df1.plox(ax=ax) # Apply FuncAnimation here as necessary

ax = axs[1] # ie. the bottom subplot
df2.plot(ax=ax) # Apply FuncAnimation here as necessary

# You can then apply common formatting through an iterator, eg common x limits:
for ax in axs:
   ax.set_xlim([0, 200])

Top 10 Hidden Disneyland Secrets
Walt Disney's life and creative works have always been subject to scrutiny and intrigue. Although he was far from a secretive man, fans and critics alike are drawn to the idea that there was more than meets the eye to a man whose core ideals were dedicated to creating wonder and bringing childhood imagination to life. Since Disney's first theme park opened in California in 1955, more than 650 million guests have come flooding through the gates to enjoy the place "where dreams come true". There are now six Disney theme parks around the world which all run like clockwork and entertain millions of guests each year. However, over the years countless urban legends and weird stories have been associated with Disneyland. Of course, many of the most popular rumours are false and seek to create a darker side to the most magical place on earth, but it was Walt Disney himself who helped cultivate a sense of mystery for his parks. Disneyland is full of tiny little details and hidden meanings which the vast majority of its guests are blissfully unaware of. Very few guests really know what's going on behind the curtain or what they're missing out on as they walk around the park.
10. The Hidden Mickeys
Perhaps the most popular 'secret' in Disneyland is the Hidden Mickeys. Mickey Mouse is an instantly recognisable character and he is arguably the most important creation of the Walt Disney Company. Mickey was the character which helped Walt Disney make his name (Disney received his first of his record-breaking 22 Academy awards for the creation of Mickey) and the playful mouse still plays a hugely important role to this day. The silhouette of Mickey's head (or often just his ears) is used throughout Disney's merchandise and branding, but it also plays its part as a hidden 'easter egg' for fans to find in various forms of Disney media. Hidden Mickeys and background appearances of the famous mouse can be found in countless Disney commercials, video games, movies and various other forms of Disney output. Hidden Mickeys have also been placed throughout all of the Disney theme parks. There is no definitive, official list of all the Hidden Mickeys, but fans have found at least 1000 of them in the park's attractions, architecture, stores and décor. Often found hidden away in the background of a mural or in hard to reach places, the Hidden Mickeys are also sometimes formed by a collection of objects (like a pile of rocks) or found as a pattern in brickwork and flooring tiles.
9. The Haunted Mansion's Mysteries
First opened in the California Disneyland in 1969, the Haunted Mansion is one of the park's most popular and enduring rides. Over the years, the ride has suffered from its fair share of urban legends and rumours, but only a few of them are true. One of the most popular stories is that one of the five singing statue busts (The Phantom Five) is modelled after the likeness of Walt Disney and served as a commemoration to him after his death. Apparently, even some Disney cast members pass this off as a fact. However, the bust in question is actually the face of Thurl Ravenscroft, a famous voice actor who happened to bear a passing resemblance to Walt Disney. Another rumour is that a guest died of fright shortly after the ride was first opened. Although this is another false tale, in the early 70s there was an 'incident' when a guest pulled out a .22 handgun and apparently started shooting while on the ride. No one was injured but one bullet hit a huge sheet of glass in the ballroom and the pane proved to be too difficult and expensive to replace without removing the roof. To cover up the eyesore, they simply stuck a spider web over the bullet hole.
8. Amateur Filmmakers made a Horror Film in Disneyland without Permission
Disney has a reputation of being very protective of its licenses, trademarks and likenesses. The company doesn't like to share its intellectual property, especially when it comes to its theme parks, so the fact that some amateur filmmakers managed to shoot an entire movie set in Disneyland is pretty impressive. Director Randy Moore knew that Disney wouldn't give him permission to film his weird psychological horror "Escape from Tomorrow" in the park, so he took matters into his own hands. Adopting a guerrilla filmmaking style, the cast and crew dressed as tourists and entered the park in small groups. No lighting equipment could be used so the director had to chart the position of the sun in advance so each scene was well-lit, and they had to use small handheld cameras which wouldn't attract attention. Surprisingly, park employees and operators didn't get suspicious, even when the cast and crew had to keep riding the same rides over and over to get the takes right. Although it was a low budget effort and received a mixed reception from critics, the movie was an audacious accomplishment and one of the few times Disney was completely in the dark about exactly what was going on its own theme park.
7. Guests can Enjoy some Hidden Perks on Rides
Surprisingly, Disneyland offers a few perks to guests who know the right things to say. On the Disney Railroad, Walt Disney wanted guests to be able to enjoy a proper locomotive experience and find out how exactly the trains work. If guests ask for the "tender ride", they can ride up front near the engineers operating the engines of the train. The engineers are more than happy to answer any questions about how locomotives operate and talk about the history of the trains, but guests who partake have to complete a full circle of the railroad because it is only possible to safely embark and disembark from the tender carriage when the locomotive is at Main Street. Guests can also ask to ride the 'Lilly Belle' carriage. The Lilly Belle is a grand, ornate carriage with velvet drapes, mahogany panelling and plush velvet chairs. The monorail and Mark Twain riverboat trips have also been known to let inquiring quests ride up front. Although these special rides are sometimes restricted and guests may not always be able to enjoy them (there's usually a long queue, too), it's always worth asking.
6. The Park uses Feral Cats to Curb the Rodent Problem

Disney goes to remarkable lengths to make sure that the theme park is kept in pristine condition. Guests are never far away from a trashcan, horticulturists and gardeners keep all the plantlife and grass at the right length and any scratches or chips made to the paintwork and décor get patched up as soon as possible. However, Disneyland's workforce also has a secret weapon. An influx of feral cats accompanied the opening of Disneyland in 1955, but instead of chasing the animals away Disney put them to good use. The cats were very adept at catching rodents which targeted leftover food and trash left by guests. It may seem rather ironic given that the theme park was built on the popularity of a fictional cartoon mouse, but the cats proved to an effective solution to a persistent problem. To this day Disney still uses feral cats as rodent-catchers. They spay any cats they can catch before releasing them back into the park and any litters of kittens they find are put up for adoption.
5. There's a Private Club with an Exclusive Guest List
photo: Mxreb0 / Wikicommons
Disneyland seems like the last place on earth which would have a secret 'speakeasy' on its grounds, but the park is actually home to one of the most exclusive clubs on the planet. Located at number 33 Royal Street in the New Orleans Square, Club 33 was built in 1967 and it was originally devised as a place for Walt Disney to entertain VIP guests and sponsors of the park, but he died several months before it opened it's doors (it has been speculated that this is where the club really gets its name as there were 33 corporate sponsors of Disneyland between 1966 and 1967). Nowadays, the club operates on a strictly exclusive basis. Although members of the public can apply for membership, there is a decade-long waiting list. The lucky few who are chosen have to pay a one-time initiation fee of $10,000 (the price is $27,500 for corporate members) and annual fees of $3,500. The club is located across two levels and it contains a foyer, dining rooms, lounges and a balcony overlooking the park. All of the rooms are furnished with actual props from Disney movies as well as hand-drawn animation cels and even antiques owned by Walt Disney's wife Lillian. Club 33 is also the only place in the entire park to serve alcohol.
4. Matterhorn Mountain has a Basketball Court

The landscape of Disneyland is full of huge, towering attractions and rides, but many areas are inaccessible to guests. While some areas of the park are specifically built to house the mechanics and machinery of its roller coasters, others are simply built as a way to spruce up the scenery. However, at least one of these structures is more secretive than it seems. Matterhorn Mountain is located near Tomorrowland and is home to the Matterhorn Bobsleds ride. This high-speed ride shoot guests down a steel track at high speeds as they pass in and out of the mountain. For some reason or another, the structure also houses a basketball half-court. Located at the top of the mountain above the roller coaster tracks, the mountain climbers who scale the Matterhorn for the entertainment of guests are the only ones who can access this mountain as there is no internal access. An urban legend circulated that Walt Disney ordered the court to be installed as a way to bypass zoning laws because it allowed him to claim that Matterhorn Mountain was a 'sports arena' which wasn't eligible for height restrictions. However, this has been debunked as these height regulations did not exist until after the ride had been built (the Matterhorn isn't as big as it seems anyway as it uses forced perspective to appear much grander than it actually is). Another rumour is that the court was actually built by the mountain climber staff as a way to pass the time between shifts during rainy days when they were unable to safely climb on the outside of the mountain. Whatever the reason for it's construction, the basketball court is still enjoyed by staff to this day.
3. The Park has an Underground Tunnel System for Employees
It makes sense that Disney employees need a quick and convenient way to get around the miles and miles of park each day, but it's hard to see how they manage to do so with bustling crowds of guests queueing up for rides and attractions at every turn . Disney's answer to the potential problem was clever but very surprising in its execution. Disneyland is built above a huge underground network of corridors and paths which are strictly for employee use only. The network was actually built at ground level and the rest of the park erected above it, and it serves as a very necessary feature for the smooth running of the park. It also means that costume actors don't have to worry about being swarmed by mobs of fans or straying into the wrong areas (Buzz Lightyear would look very out of place in the American Old West of Frontierland) when they're trying to get to their shift on time.
2. Tomorrowland Grows it's Own Fruits and Vegetables
Tomorrowland is one of the most ambitious and intriguing areas in Disneyland. The themed zone attempts to bring the sights and wonders of the future to present day, and many of the attractions are imaginative takes on what tomorrow may bring. Tomorrowland entered into its third generation in 1998 (the area needs to change every few decades to make sure it doesn't get left behind in the past) and one of it's new features was investing in 'Agrifuture'. A food crisis seems all but inevitable in the future and sustainable farming and foods will become a necessity. Tomorrowland's 'Imagineers' called attention to the issue by growing edible fruits and plants throughout the entire themed area. Lettuce patches, orange trees and strawberry bushels are just some of the many edible foods that are grown all over Tomorrowland. Although the sight of all these trees and plants is noticeably different from the pristine landscaping found throughout the rest of the park, this feature goes almost completely unnoticed by guests. Apart from a solitary 'Agrifuture' billboard near the railroad in Tomorrowland, this interesting detail isn't advertised or 'shown off ' by Disney at all.
1. Disneyland Tricks the Sensory of Guests
Disney really thought of everything when it came to enhancing the theme park experience. The sights and sounds of Disneyland are overwhelming and there are always little things (like the Hidden Mickeys) which are easy to overlook. Even if they go unnoticed, it shows just how much effort has been put into every tiny aspect of the park. However, this attention to detail doesn't stop with the eyes and ears. One of the unsung heroes of the Disneyland experience is the 'Smellitzer' – a crafty device which wafts aromas around the park. Usually placed in strategic locations like outside the candy stores on Main Street U.S.A, the Smellitzer can 'launch' a scent into the air. It's likely that guests will realise they are suddenly able to smell a very strong aroma of freshly baked cookies as they pass by the bakery in Main Street or fresh popcorn and peppermint sweets near the candy stores, and it's all thanks to the Smellitzer. With so many people walking around the busiest areas of the park during the day, there's no way these smells would be able to stand out without a little assistance. It makes sense that Disney would go to these lengths to make sure that their guests could get some gentle persuasion in indulging their sweet tooths (and depart with some of their cash) just as they pass by a candy store. Another interesting secret is that each different land in the park has a different type of flooring. Guests can literally feel the effect of moving into a different section of the park as they walk over smooth asphalt instead of cobblestones or bricked pavement. These different textures serve as subtle subliminal hints to guests that they are in a different area with new things to experience.

Cattle Raisers testify in support of SB 740 for eminent domain reform
SB 740 was heard before the Senate State Affairs Committee Monday. The bill, authored by Sen. Lois Kolkhorst, takes several steps to protect private property owners from abuse in the eminent domain process whereby land is taken by private corporations and government entities for the "public good."
Clayton Henry, a rancher from Wichita Falls, testified in favor of SB 740 on behalf of the Texas and Southwestern Cattle Raisers Association (TSCRA). Henry also serves on TSCRA's board of directors and executive committee. In his testimony, he provided compelling reasons for reform within the eminent domain process.
"Private law abiding citizens should not emerge from the eminent domain process battered, bruised and financially poorer by the deeds of condemnors who are acting as agents of the State of Texas," said Henry in his testimony before the Senate State Affairs Committee.
Other ranchers, landowners and TSCRA members also testified in favor of the bill. Karen Thorpe of Winters and Reed Stewart of Sterling City both gave telling accounts of their own battles with eminent domain condemnors. In Thorpe's case, high voltage power lines were set to run directly over their house, but ultimately were built over their family cemetery. Stewart's experience entailed a condemnor who filed a restraining order against him on his own property.
TSCRA would like to thank Sen. Kolkhorst for her championship of SB 740, and Senate State Affairs Chairwoman Joan Huffman for hearing the bill. Landowners look forward to the legislation being voted favorably from the Senate State Affairs Committee and passage by the full Senate.
Full video of the testimony can be found here.

President Donald J. Trump Proclaims September 11, 2017, as Patriot Day
Issued on: September 8, 2017
On Patriot Day, we honor the nearly 3,000 innocent lives taken from us on September 11, 2001, and all of those who so nobly aided their fellow citizens in America's time of need. We rededicate ourselves to the ideals that define our country and unite us as one, as we commemorate all the heroes who lost their lives saving others.
September 11, 2001, will forever be one of the most tragic days in American history. Through the unimaginable despair, however, ordinary Americans etched into our history remarkable illustrations of bravery, of sacrifice for one another, and of dedication to our shared values. The shock from the indelible images of the smoke rising from the World Trade Center and Pentagon gave way to countless inspiring videos of co-workers helping one another to safety; of heroes running into collapsing buildings to save the innocent people trapped within; and to the unforgettable story of the patriots who charged the cockpit of Flight 93 to save untold numbers of lives. These heroes moved us with their bravery. They make us proud to be Americans.
Throughout history, everyday Americans and first responders have done the extraordinary through selfless acts of patriotism, compassion, and uncommon courage. Not just in New York, Virginia, and Pennsylvania, but across our great Nation, Americans on September 11, 2001, bound themselves together for the common good, saying with one voice that we will be neither scared nor defeated. The enemy attempted to tear at the fabric of our society by destroying our buildings and murdering our innocent, but our strength has not and will not waiver. Americans today remain steadfast in our commitment to liberty, to human dignity, and to one another.
It has been 16 years since the tragedy of September 11, 2001. Children who lost their parents on that day are now parents of their own, while many teenagers currently in high school learn about September 11th only from their history books. Yet all Americans are imbued with the same commitment to cause and love of their fellow citizens as everyone who lived through that dark day. We will never forget. The events of September 11, 2001, did not defeat us. They did not rattle us. They, instead, have rallied us, as leaders of the civilized world, to defeat an evil ideology that preys on innocents and knows nothing but violence and destruction.
On this anniversary, I invite all Americans to thank our Nation's incredible service members and first responders, who are on the front lines of our fight against terrorism. We will always remember the sacrifices made in defense of our people, our country, and our freedom. The spirit of service and self sacrifice that Americans so nobly demonstrated on September 11, 2001, is evident in the incredible response to Hurricanes Harvey and Irma. The same spirit of American patriotism we movingly witnessed on September 11th has filled our hearts as we again see the unflinching courage, compassion, and generosity of Americans for their neighbors and countrymen. The service members and first responders who lost their lives on September 11, 2001, and in the years of service since would be proud of what we have all witnessed over these last three weeks and what will undoubtedly unfold in the coming months of recovery. By protecting those in need, by taking part in acts of charity, service, and compassion, and by giving back to our communities and country, we honor those who gave their lives on and after September 11, 2001.
By a joint resolution approved December 18, 2001 (Public Law 107-89), the Congress has designated September 11 of each year as "Patriot Day."
NOW, THEREFORE, I, DONALD J. TRUMP, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim September 11, 2017, as Patriot Day. I call upon all departments, agencies, and instrumentalities of the United States to display the flag of the United States at half-staff on Patriot Day in honor of the individuals who lost their lives on September 11, 2001. I invite the Governors of the United States and its territories and interested organizations and individuals to join in this observance. I call upon the people of the United States to participate in community service in honor of those our Nation lost, to observe this day with appropriate ceremonies and activities, including remembrance services, and to observe a moment of silence beginning at 8:46 a.m. Eastern Daylight Time to honor the innocent victims who perished as a result of the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this eighth day of September, in the year of our Lord two thousand seventeen, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and forty-second.

Membership: Commander Cameron Hodge (leader); Barker, Cobb, Martinez, Dr. Meyer, Dr. Harold Murch, Susan, others;
formerly Nanny (Eleanor Murch)
Purpose: To exterminate mutants
Affiliations: Animator, Bastion, N'astirh, Neonate, Purifiers
Enemies: Angel (teen Warren Worthington III), Bird Brain, Boom-Boom, Cable (Nathan Summers), Rusty Collins, Hellions (Empath/Manuel de la Rocha, John Greycrow, Havok/Alex Summers, Mr. Sinister/Nathaniel Essex, Nanny/Eleanor Murch, Orphan-Maker/Peter, Psylocke/Kwannon), Hope, Leech, Artie Maddicks, Magik (Illyana Rasputin), Marauders (Arclight, Blockbuster, Harpoon, Riptide, Prism, Sabretooth, Scalphunter, Scrambler, Vertigo), New Mutants (Cannonball, Cypher, Karma, Magma, Moonstar, Sunspot, Warlock, Wolfsbane), Rictor, Skids, Candy Southern, S'ym, Thor, X-Factor (Archangel (Warren Worthington III), Beast (Hank McCoy), Caliban, Cyclops (Scott Summers), Iceman, Marvel Girl (Jean Grey)), X-Force (Archangel, Domino, Elixir, Wolverine, X-23)
Base of Operations: Arlington, Virginia
First Appearance: X-Factor I#17 (June, 1987)
(X-Factor I#22 (fb) - BTS) - Hodge started an organization called the Right, utilizing Worthington's funds to do so. He designed powerful suits of armor, holographic technology, and helmets designed to block the powers of X-Factor and their known associates. They made one of their primary bases in the Arlington Interactive Museum of Science. Members of the Right captured Mexican mutant Rictor, who they tortured until his vibratory powers were out of control.
(X-Factor I#40 (fb) - BTS/Hellions I#16 (fb) - BTS) - Eleanor Murch, married to Harold Murch, was a scientist and investor pioneering the field in cyborg technology. She and Harold both joined the Right, and Eleanor invented technology for them, but she soon learned they were using that technology to create anti-mutant super-soldiers. Secretly a telepathic mutant herself, Eleanor sought to stpp the Right, but they stopped her and gave her the ultimatum to either rejoin them or be imprisoned in an egg costume, where she'd be locked inside. Eleanor refused to work for them, so they locked her in the egg, but she managed to escape the Right, going slightly mad in the process.
(X-Factor I#17) - X-Factor and Hodge saw Thor deliver Iceman, whose powers were out of control, back to headquarters. Hodge soon spoke to Tilby and the press about Angel's intentions to rid the public of mutants, disgusting the other mutants at Angel's funeral. Hodge soon staged a call from the governor of California, claiming that the X-Terminators themselves were threatening to use a mutant named Rictor to shake San Francisco into the ocean. He hung up the call, feigning concern for X-Factor, but they rushed off to handle the threat anyway. Hodge called to warn the Right, who had one helicopter shut down as they escaped from the building. X-Factor managed to save Rictor, leaving only the Right's building to collapse. Iceman spoke to the media, telling them the X-Terminators were not responsible for the destruction and that mutants were good, too. Hodge was disgusted and planned to drive Cyclops insane in return.
(X-Factor I#21) - When Cyclops prepared to reveal the truth about X-Factor, Hodge had soldiers from the Right, claiming to be mutants, open fire on the crowd. Tilby and several other humans were wounded as the Right fired repeatedly and X-Factor struggled to defend themselves. The Right's bazookas bounced off Marvel Girl's shields and Cyclops, whose optic blasts reflected off the armor, managed to hit one of the soldiers in an arm joint. The Right soldiers flew away as did X-Factor, and Hodge told the media that mutants were obviously far too dangerous to normal humans. The Right then attacked X-Factor's remaining wards, Artie, Leech, Skids, Rusty, and Rictor.
(X-Factor I#22) - The Right soldiers fired on the mutants, taking Artie and Rusty down first, though Rusty downed one with a fiery blast. Rictor's powers went out of control and knocked portions of the ceiling onto the soldiers, who were quickly bolstered by reinforcements. When Leech's powers cancelled out Rictor's and Skids, the other mutants were knocked out as well and specific power helmets were used to block the powers of each. When Caliban tried to stop the soldiers, they easily defeated him, then shot him full of enough tranquilizers to kill him. The Right soldiers loaded the captive mutants into their plane and headed back for Virginia while Commander Hodge discussed the dangers of mutants on the news. When a small explosion went off, the Right soldiers went to investigate, not knowing Boom-Boom was sneaking aboard their ship; assuming it was a backfire, they proceeded with their trip. In Arlington, the Right soldiers loaded the mutants on to a school bus, treating them cruelly and taking them to the museum, where on of the soldiers scared off Boom-Boom. The Right's scanners soon revealed her to be a mutant and they stopped her from calling X-Factor, but she escaped into the vents. The Right began testing and prodding the mutants, beginning with Rusty and continuing with a despairing Rictor. Boom-Boom managed to free Rictor and his powers caused a bridge to collapse; the two mutants surrendered to Hodge and the Right rather than fall to their deaths.
(X-Factor I#23) - X-Factor (Beast, Cyclops, Iceman, Marvel Girl) stormed the museum and tried questioning one guard, whose implanted device killed him before he could reveal any information. They continued fighting their way inside. Hodge told his captives of how he'd exploit their talents for himself and beginning experiments on them before learning that X-Factor had arrived. Pleased to see his enemies go down once and for all, Hodge went to take care of them, ordering the young mutants to be killed if he wasn't back in ten minutes. A group of Right soldiers fought X-Factor, their armor resistant to Cyclops' optic blasts. The mutants were briefly locked in a low pit trap, when the floor sank to trap them, and a hologram of Hodge in ruby quartz armor addressed them, justifying his actions. He flooded the mutants with knockout gas, but they only feigned unconsciousness and attacked the guards who came to restrain them. The kids managed to escape while X-Factor fought an army of mutants. The kids opened fire on the soldiers and one placed a power dampener on Iceman, removing his powers. Hodge knocked Rictor out with a blow, then he attacked Cyclops directly; Cyclops' blasts couldn't get through Hodge's armor. They traded blows as they argued about evolution and Iceman managed to break out of his restraints as his power had changed. He cracked Hodge's armor, then Cyclops destroyed the armor by releasing his blasts inside it. Hodge revealed he'd only been a robot and he set the building to self-destruct. The mutants narrowly escaped.
(New Mutants I#60 (fb) - BTS) - Hodge liberated a maddened scientist from jail and employed him to find a way to stop all mutation from taking place. The scientist, calling himself the Animator, took refuge on Paradise Island and began experimenting on animals there.
(X-Factor I#34 (fb) - BTS) - When Candy Southern, Angel's former girlfriend, threatened to expose Hodge to the media, he took her captive. Despising her for loving a mutant, he kept her alive to experiment on her until she was a veritable vegetable, kept alive by machines.
(New Mutants I#60) - When Hodge saw the Animator had run a search on the New Mutants, he called to check in the Animator, who lied to him about his progress. Sensing the lie, Hodge ordered the Right to investigate the island. They soon found Animator dressed madly and struggling to escape after a battle with the New Mutants. Hodge had the mutants captured and he backhanded Animator for lying to him. The Right soldiers opened fire on some of the Animator's experiments, including Bird Brain, who escaped and soon lead an army of Animates to free the New Mutants. A battle broke out, quickly joined by Sunspot and Warlock, and one of the Right soldiers was transported to Limbo, a dimension of demons, by Magik. Though the Animator killed Cypher, Hodge decided to cut his losses. He ordered his men aboard the ship and they razed the island with bombs before flying away. An octopoid Animate grabbed the ship and pulled it underwater, however.
(Uncanny X-Men#231) - The Right soldier served S'ym. After S'ym had seemingly been destroyed the Right soldier tried to take control of S'ym's army, but S'ym returned and destroyed him.
(X-Factor I#30) - Archangel investigated the disappearance of Candy Southern at Worthington Enterprises. He trapped a guard and demanded the computer access codes.
(X-Factor I#31) - In their Chicago base, Hodge and the Right reviewed footage of Archangel's attacks on Right facilities, looking frantically for Candy Southern.
(X-Factor I#32) - Using an obtained arcane ritual written by Belasco in the fifteenth century, Hodge read an incantation to contact the demon N'Astirh in Limbo. Hodge offered his soul and the locations of infant mutants, including a group in an orphanage, if N'Astirh would grant him immortality as well as success for the Right.
(X-Factor I#35) - Archangel fought through members of the Right and an army of N'Astirh's demons before killing Hodge, though it was too late to save Southern. More members of the Right attacked him as he tried to leave.
(X-Terminators#2 - BTS) - Hodge spoke with N'Astirh through a pentagram and the demon assured him that the Right would prosper from the demonic invasion.
(X-Factor I#57) - Members of the Right, in new armor, attacked X-Factor (minus Archangel, who was off on his own) in New York City. Their armor naturally repelled Cyclops' optic blasts and Marvel Girl's telekinetics, and was even strong enough to avoid being torn by the Beast, and melted Iceman's ice before it could form around them. The mutants used a combination of surprise tactics and teamwork to hold the Right off, but the Right soon rushed to attack Archangel, who was madly involved in a bank robbery, not fully mentally competent at the time. He slashed into them repeatedly and they soon teleported away. Hodge monitored the battle from afar.
(Cage I#2 - BTS) - The racist terrorist group called the Hammer used cast-off Right armors.
(X-Force III#7) - Resurrected by Bastion, Hodge opened crates to find old Right armor suits inside.
(X-Force III#10 (fb) - BTS) - At Bastion's orders, the Right soldiers, under Hodge's command, stormed several of Mr. Sinister's bases to retrieve vials of the Legacy virus.
(X-Force III#9) - At Hodge's command, the Right soldiers attacked Sinister's warehouse in Japan to liberate more vials of the Legacy Virus. They found X-Force (Archangel, Domino, Elixir, Wolverine, X-23) and the Vanisher battling clones of the Marauders (Arclight, Blockbuster, Harpoon, Riptide, Prism, Sabretooth, Scalphunter, Scrambler, Vertigo).
(X-Force III#10) - The Right soldiers quickly tore through the remaining Marauder clones. While battling X-Force, one of the Right uploaded the Legacy Virus into X-23's system. They sought to kill her and return the body to Hodge, but X-Force killed the soldiers. Hodge was ordered to replicate the other three vials and pass them on to the Leper Queen.
(X-Men: Second Coming#1) - When Cable and Hope appeared from the future at the old Westchester school, the Right leapt to attack. They moved to kill Hope while Cable returned fire, killing them all before Hodge could send backup. Bastion checked in with his soldiers, and heard Hodge's report that Right divisions were ready to deploy.
(New Mutants IV#12) - Cameron Hodge ordered his hundreds of armored Right soldiers to prepare for battle, and they eagerly armored up, excited to kill mutants. Before they could join the Purifiers in battle, however, the New Mutants (Cannonball, Cypher, Karma, Magma, Moonstar, Sunspot, Warlock) attacked. Karma forced some soldiers to turn on the others, killing several. Knowing he could now justify his armor under Bastion's orders, Hodge had his head and spinal cord attached to his old armored form. The New Mutants jumped to attack, batting Sunspot aside. When Karma tried possessing him, Hodge savagely drove a blade through her leg.
(X-Men: Legacy#235) - Before Hodge could kill Karma, Cannonball knocked him back, but Hodge soon had both mutants defeated as the Right was brutally dismantled by the remaining New Mutants. When the transmode virus-wielding Warlock entered the battle, however, he drained the life from the remaining Right soldiers, then from Cameron Hodge himself.
SECRET WARS III HAPPENED
(All-New X-Men II#12) - Cameron Hodge and the Right collected samples of the Terrigen Mists to use as weapons against mutants, but Angel (teenage) defeated them.
(Uncanny X-Men IV#12 (fb)) - Magneto reached out to the Right, forming plans.
(House of X#4 - BTS) - Cameron Hodge and the Right were listed by the X-Men as one of the greatest threats to mutants who murdered 178 mutants.
(Hellions I#17 (fb) - BTS) - The Right built a series of bases on Arizona public lands, angering the local government. At Right Base Zeta, they only allowed members who had killed mutants to be stationed there.
(Hellions I#7 (fb) - BTS) - The Right got Nanny's ship back and kept it in containment at their facility in Arizona. The Right developed new sentient robots in the guise of their smiley green soldiers, and designed a Cameron Hodge artificial intelligence to guide them.
(Hellions I#8 (fb) - BTS) - The sentient Right robots developed a neonate, or young robot intelligence, in an infant robot form, and kept it aboard Nanny's ship in secret, not telling Hodge or their leaders about it.
(Hellions I#7) - The Hellions attacked the Right's headquarters in Arizona, smashing a ship through their perimeter wall. They began destroying some of the Right soldiers before Cameron Hodge stepped forward as their leader.
(Hellions I#8) - When Nanny and Wild Child rushed past Hodge as he was giving a speech to his enemies, Hodge ordered the Right to fight the other mutants and a massive battle broke out. With Hodge asserting his control over the Right, they used their powers to block the mutants' powers, but the mutant Empath exposed the Hodge mind, which had thought it was human, as an artificial intelligence. The Hodge A.I., desperate to prove he was human, ordered the Right to fire on him, and they did so, terminating Hodge. Nanny and Wild Child killed more Right robots then boarded Nanny's ship, discovering the Neonate inside. As the battle settled, the sentient Right robots adjusted their programs to make themselves friends with mutants, but the Hellions had already uploaded a virus into their computers that would kill them all.
(Hellions I#12) - In Arizona, Dr. Murch and Dr. Meyer discovered the sentient Right soldiers and realized they had mutated and had a child. Murch summoned the Zeta team, a prepared group of soldiers who were known psychopaths, and Barker, Cobb, Martinez, and Susan arrived, their faces painted with green smiles.
(Hellions I#14) - While the ZETA team drew closer to Krakoa on their raft, while Dr. Murch took remote control of Nanny's ship from afar.
(Hellions I#16) - When Nanny entered her ship, Harold revealed himself, stealing the Neonate from her and causing her ship to attack her. As the Neonate was placed aboard an escape pod to be brought back to him, Harold announced his plans to crash Nanny's ship into the Krakoan orphanage, killing mutant children, Nanny self-destructed her ship instead.
(Hellions I#17) - Orphan-Maker savagely attacked the Right base, where Dr. Murch, Dr. Meyer, and Dr. Green held the Neonate. Murch ordered the Zeta team, except for Susan, to take their pills and prepare for combat, and they were soon attacked by the Hellions, who defeated them. Murch was experimenting on the Neonate, realizing that it was constantly evolving, when Orphan-Maker burst into the room and took the baby. Nanny then entered and picked up the Neonate, which shockingly gave off a massive energy discharge and killed Nanny. In shock, Peter killed the scientists savagely then continued attacking the Right.
Comments: Created by Louise Simonson, Walter Simonson, and Bob Wiacek.
Since anti-mutant terrorists rarely demonstrate more "conventional" forms of racism, it might be interesting for the Right to go after the Hammer for abusing their technology.

Famous Indians: A Collection of short Biographies by The Interior of Indian Affairs.
Warriors, statesmen, prophets and scholars,--the firmest of friends and most formidable of foes--there are heroes and heroines of many kinds in the often tragic yet inspiring saga of North American Indians. Many of the Indian personalities whose lives are briefly described here were Chiefs--some of them have become famous around the world. All were leaders in a great struggle to preserve treasured lands and lifeways. With their tribesmen, they are inseparably linked to our country's history from its earliest beginnings through generations of growth. Biographies (most including portraits or photographs) include Powhatan, Pocohantas, Massasoit, King Philip, Pope, Joseph Brant, Pontiac, Sacajawea, Tecumseh, Sequoyah, John Ross, Black Hawk, Osceola, Cochise, Seattle, Red Cloud, Crazy Horse, Sitting Bull, Wovoka, Joseph, Quanah Parker, and Geronimo.
In an 8x10, double column format, this was, as they say, short and sweet.
The Biographies were only 1 or 2 pages long and yet... I read of some Famous Indians that I had not heard of in the books I have already read. I am finding there are so many books out on the "western Indians", that I will have to search for some on the Eastern Indians. I have already learned there were many tribes I never heard of because with all the killing they came extinct. Not a very nice word.. but true.
It is so ironic that in today's world we invite people from other countries to come and live here, share all we have! When, back when man discovered America and the Indians said, "come and live here and share what we have", the "new American", with all his greed, could not "share".. they wanted it all... and took it all.
I read the books about Indians now... I know I cannot change anything of their past, or our past... I just wonder why the lesson of Greed cannot be learned?
Indian Heroes and Great Chieftains by Charles A. Eastman.
Raised as a Santee Sioux in the 1860s and 1870s, Charles A. Eastman (Ohiyesa) wrote eleven books in which he attempted to correct misapprehensions whites had about Indians and to bring the two races closer together.
In the present volume he offers biographical sketches of 15 great Indian leaders, most of them Sioux and some of them, like Red Cloud and Rain-in-the-Face, friends and acquaintances of the author. In vivid vignettes Eastman captures the character, achievements and historic importance of such leaders as Crazy Horse, Sitting Bull, Little Crow, Chief Joseph, and Spotted Tail.
Enhanced with 12 portraits, these inspiring pieces will be of great interest to students of American Indian culture and history as well as to anyone who enjoys reading about the larger-than-life figures who dominated Indian life in the second half of the nineteenth century.
This book may be small, but it is mighty.
Much in the book I have read before in other books, but this is short and sweet and written by someone who actually met most of the Indians you are to read about. You can't get anymore information then from one who was there, even if it was towards the end .
Eastman other books are sold in a collection, which I could never afford but.. there are some of them out by Dover in this small size. There are at least 2 others I hope to get and add to this one.
Anyway.. loved the book. If you are inclined to read about the Indians I highly recommend this book.
My grandmother asked me to tell you she's sorry.
My Grandmother asked me to tell you she's sorry. by Fredrik Backman.
Amazon: Elsa is seven years old and different. Her grandmother is seventy-seven years old and crazy—as in standing-on-the-balcony-firing-paintball-guns-at-strangers crazy. She is also Elsa's best, and only, friend. At night Elsa takes refuge in her grandmother's stories, in the Land-of-Almost-Awake and the Kingdom of Miamas, where everybody is different and nobody needs to be normal. When Elsa's grandmother dies and leaves behind a series of letters apologizing to people she has wronged, Elsa's greatest adventure begins. Her grandmother's instructions lead her to an apartment building full of drunks, monsters, attack dogs, and old crones but also to the truth about fairy tales and kingdoms and a grandmother like no other.
I have to admit it, I don't remember what made me get this book. It's different from anything I normally read, but in many ways I really liked it. Parts were very sad, and with my depression I thought to put it down, but I didn't and there was only one small part that made me think of my son Thom and cry. Otherwise.. this is a good read.
"This gets tricky, from a narrative perspective, because the people who reach the end of their days must leave others who have to live our their days without them. It is very, very difficult to be the one who has to stay behind and live without them. "
The northern Great Plains at the time of Crazy Horse's birth, around 1839 or 1840, were still wide-open buffalo country well known only to a few white traders and trappers. But before the Oglala Lakota war chief was two years old, the first white emigrants appeared on their way to Oregon, launching one of the greatest mass migrations in history and setting the stage for the end of the freedom plains tribes had known. Even as Crazy Horse was becoming one of the Lakota's most renowned warriors, many of his people had already given up their way of life and moved to reservations established by whites who saw them as a hindrance to progress. Those, like Crazy Horse, who chose to follow the old ways soon found themselves confronting an enemy whose might and tactics often were beyond their comprehension and whose goal was their destruction.This poignant book sheds new light on the life and death of one of the greatest Native American leaders, "one of the bravest of the brave," in the struggle against the westward movement of white settlers. Author Mike Sajna reveals Crazy Horse to have been not only an intelligent war chief with the good of his people at heart but also an ardent lover and cautious warrior who at times made mistakes and was as frightened as anyone when it came to confronting death. Sajna portrays Crazy Horse as a quiet, shy person who avoided attention off the battlefield but nevertheless inspired awe, excitement, jealousy, and fear. From his childhood when he showed courage capturing a wild horse to his first fights with the Pawnee and Shoshone, it was clear that Crazy Horse would become a fierce warrior. And yet he was also a tender man who was almost killed pursuing the woman he loved. Together with Sitting Bull, Crazy Horse led the great Sioux-Cheyenne Uprising of 1876?77, which reached its high point on June 25, 1876, with the destruction of Colonel George Armstrong Custer and more than 250 men of the Seventh Cavalry at Little Big Horn. The surrender less than a year later of Crazy Horse and his people was considered, even by his contemporaries, an epochal event in the history of the Plains Indian wars and the West. This meticulously researched biography goes a long way in separating the facts from the many myths that cloud Crazy Horse's life, while at the same time placing him firmly within the context of his times.
So... This book took me a long time to read. Many reasons why, but one of them is NOT that I didn't want to read about Crazy Horse.
However good and informative this book is... barely any of it tells me much about Crazy Horse.
In the beginning the author admits that information on Crazy Horse is very limited to only a few "facts" and much from old Indian lore. Therefore, it winds up that the only "facts" are mostly in the last 3 chapters of the book, which surround his being in the fight that kills Custer, and the final chapter on how Crazy Horse dies. All other information is declared "unconfirmed". sigh.
I was disappointed that very little is known about Crazy Horse, but if one has not read other books about Native Americans, back when White man took over then this book would be informative.
I was determined to read all the book just in case more information I had not read before might show up. And some did.
One exciting book title showed up and when I searched it on Amazon I know I want all the information written by the author , A Eastman, on the Indians. The main book being titled Indian Heroes and Great Chieftains. But of course I want what I can't afford! (nothing new there!) Click the link.. don't laugh too hard!
