Kurt Pritz is a licensed attorney, with experience in ICANN and the domain name industry. He is currently the Director Strategic Planning and Policy at Allegravita. He is the former Executive Director of the Domain Name Association (DNA).[1] He held the position from November 2013-October 2015.[2]
Pritz is the former Chief of Strategy at ICANN. He was appointed to this role, moving on from his prior role as Senior Vice President, when ICANN's newest CEO, Fadi Chehadé, assumed his position on September 14, 2012. In his prior role, Kurt Pritz oversaw the vitality of the Multistakeholder Model, stakeholder relations, and also the New gTLD Program. These responsibilities seem to have been split up by President Chehadé.[3][4] His high-profile work has included representing ICANN at judicial and legal hearings in Washington, D.C..[5]
His resignation was announced on November 15, 2012, by CEO Fadi Chehadé, with an undisclosed conflict of interest cited as the reason.[6] The conflict in question was later reported as being a personal issue with ARI Registry Services.[7]
Prior to joining ICANN, Pritz was the Vice President of Production at Walt Disney Imagineering, where he directed the manufacturing and engineering of theme park shows worldwide. He has also worked as a plant manager for the Eaton Corporation.[8]
He holds a B.S. and M.S. in Physics, an M.B.A. and a J.D.[9]

Role within ICANN
Kurt Pritz was appointed as a Vice President of ICANN in September 2003. He was promoted to Senior Vice President for Stakeholder Relations in December, 2006.[10] As VP for Stakeholder Relations, Kurt served as spokesperson for the organization on a variety of issues, perhaps most notably its new gTLD program. He led the coordination of multiple public consultations regarding the program until it was approved and implemented by the ICANN Board. Kurt continues to provide information, presentations, answer questions and discusses issues related to the new gTLD program as they arise in different events such as the .nxt conference, and congressional hearings.[11]
In March, 2012, during the GNSO Council meeting at ICANN 43 in Costa Rica, Kurt informed the community that the ICANN Board plans to implement the "Target Time Variance" (secondary time stamp) system in determining how each new gTLD application will be grouped into batches. According to him an applicant will pick his or her "target time" to process the application on the TLD Application System (TAS) then click the submit button. The application batches will be divided based on the fastest applicant, down to the slowest from each of the five ICANN geographic regions in a round robin method. He also said the applicants will have the opportunity to try out the system to determine and adjust their response time. He explained that random selection is not feasible because of legal issues.[12] The target time variance was officially approved and named "digital archery" by the ICANN Board on March 28, 2012.[13]
Prior to the opening of the applications for the new gTLD program on January 12, 2012, Kurt announced that ICANN might release a new separate guidebook for the newly developed Applicant Support program to supplement the Applicant Guidebook. He explained that a number of questions and requests for clarifications on some points in the guidebook were received and responded to by ICANN's customer service center. He said, "We will summarize those clarifications in one document – that might be an Advisory or in the form of an updated Guidebook. In either case, the positions of applicants will not be affected as the information will repeat that in previously answered questions."[14]
Congressional Hearings on New gTLDs
On December 8, 2011, Kurt Pritz served as one of the witnesses during the U.S. Senate Hearing on ICANN's new gTLD Program. He strongly defended the program against its critics, including the Association of National Advertisers, and its anti-TLD off-shoot, CRIDO. [15] He also attended a similar hearing conducted by the House of Representatives' Energy and Commerce Subcommittee on Communications and Technology on December 14.[16]
During the Senate hearing, Kurt provided the members of the Senate committee on Commerce Science and Transportation a detailed testimony regarding the program. He highlighted the fact that it took seven years for the Internet community to develop the program through a careful, transparent and inclusive discussions and debates. He emphasized that ICANN received "2400 public comments from 47 extended comment periods that resulted in over 1,400 pages of comment summary and analysis, formation of ten independent expert working groups, and 59 explanatory memoranda and independent reports." He also pointed out that world-class experts on intellectual property, economics and Internet security were involved in the development process to ensure adequate protection and solutions for trademark holders, which were in turn reviewed and examined by the Internet community and governments. He also pointed out the members of the Senate that ICANN is committed to working closely with law enforcement agencies to protect consumers. He repeated Sec. Larry Stricking's statement regarding the role of the multistakeholder process in developing the new gTLD program;"The multistakeholder process does not guarantee that everyone will be satisfied with the outcome. But it is critical to preserving the model of Internet governance that has been so successful to date that all parties respect and work through the process and accept the outcome once a decision is reached."[17]
During the hearing in the House of Representatives, Kurt repeated to the members of the subcommittee on Communications and Technology that the program took seven-years of hard work from the Internet community to develop. He emphasized that the expansion of new TLDs is a measured rolled out with much better trademark protection mechanisms, that will create more jobs and promote competition and innovation. In his testimony, he sent a message to the Congress and to the critics of the program that the Internet governing body had no intention of delaying its implementation which was scheduled for January 12, 2012.[18]
Statement Regarding HostExploit's Accusation Against eNom
In 2010, HostExploit, an anti-malware research group accused eNom, an ICANN accredited registrar, for hosting an unusually large number of malicious websites and called it the preferred registrar for pharmaceutical spammers. The group also accused the company's domain name resellers of violating ICANN rules by allowing registrants to provide inaccurate information in the Whois data base. In response to the issue, Kurt informed the research group that ICANN will investigate the issue.[19] [20]
RegisterFly Issue
RegisterFly was a problematic registrar whose accreditation was terminated by ICANN in 2009. The company started its business as a reseller for eNom. In 2004, RegisterFly purchased Top Class Names, Inc., an ICANN accredited registrar. After the acquisition, the new owners of the company assumed the accreditation and role as a registrar and its name was change to RegisterFly. In 2005, ICANN started receiving complaints of poor service from consumers. The number and substance of complaints escalated from being unresponsive and 30 minutes call hold time to overcharging of credit cards, and domain names being deleted and stolen from registrants. In 2007, Kurt issued a Notice of Breach to the company for violating several provisions of the Registrar Accreditation Agreement (RAA). He instructed RegisterFly to correct all its violations and resolve all customer complaints. He also warned the company that ICANN will terminate its accreditation agreement if it does not with the RAA.[21] He also sent a Notice of Audit to the company that ICANN will require a complete copy of all registration data for inspection. Due to the company's non-compliance, Kurt requested his counsel to send a second Notice of Breach and eventually ICANN filed a lawsuit against the company. On March 28, 2007, Kurt submiited a detailed declaration to the court about RegisterFly's violations of the RAA, which affected thousand of customers.[22] ICANN terminated the company accreditation immediately after a court order.

Thucydides on the plague in Athens
Andrew Green • March 13, 2020 • 0 Comments
Thucydides mosaic from Jerash, Jordan, Roman, 3rd century CE (Pergamon Museum, Berlin)
In the bath the other morning I happened to catch an interview with the novelist Kamila Shamsie. She was asked what books she'd want to have with her if the coronavirus forced her to self-isolate for a lengthy period. She had some interesting choices. And she recommended that, instead of raiding supermarkets for toilet rolls and pasta, we'd be better off clearing the shelves of our independent bookshops.
At the end of the piece, Martha Kearney – I think that's who it was, since she's a classicist – offered her own idea for isolation reading, Thucydides' account of the plague in Athens in 430 BC. That prompted me – after getting out of the bath – to pull Thucydides down from the shelf and turn to Book 2 of his History of the Peloponnesian War.
Michiel Sweerts, The plague of Athens, 1652-54 (Los Angeles County Museum of Art)
In the first year of the War the Athenians made a strategic decision not to confront the dominant land armies of Sparta and their allies when they invaded Attica. Instead they locked themselves securely behind their walls. Crucially, these enclosed not just the city but also the fortified route, the 'Long Walls', down to the port of Piraeus, the gateway to the Athenians' maritime empire. Living conditions for the self-isolating Athenians, wedged between the walls, were far from ideal, and as the siege went on infections broke out.
Thucydides was among the Athenians locked between the walls, and experienced at first hand the events that followed. He gives us a detailed eye-witness report – all the more chilling because of the cool objectivity and unusually plain style of his 'trauma narrative' – of the origin, symptoms and spread of the plague, and its terrible consequences for the city.
John Martin, The seventh plague of Egypt, 1823 (Laing Art Gallery, Newcastle upon Tyne)
The plague originated in Ethiopia, we're told, and spread from there to Egypt and Libya, and other parts of the Persian empire. It reached Lemnos in the Aegean, then appeared suddenly in Piraeus, and soon moved to the city of Athens. Thucydides, always careful, doesn't offer an opinion about what caused the outbreak. 'I myself shall merely describe what it was like, and set down the symptoms'. He adds, without further comment, 'I had the disease myself and saw others suffering from it.'
Next, we get a detailed description of the plague's symptoms, stage by stage. At first, headaches, inflamed eyes, bleeding from the mouth, unpleasant breath. Then, sneezing, hoarseness of voice, chest pain and coughing. And so on till death (or in some cases recovery).
Thucydides tells us that he's detailed the symptoms of the plague 'to enable it to be recognised, if it should ever break out again.' Today opinions about its exact identity still differ, though many medical experts consider that the disease was either typhus or smallpox. At the time no medical treatment was available that would do anything to control or alleviate the illness:
Pieter van Halen, The plague of the Philistines, 1661 (Wellcome Collection)
At the beginning the doctors were quite incapable of treating the disease because of their ignorance of the right methods. In fact, mortality among the doctors was the highest of all, since they came more frequently in contact with the sick. Nor was any other human art or science of any help at all. Equally useless were prayers made in temples, consultation of oracles, and so forth: indeed, in the end people were so overcome with their sufferings that they paid no further attention to such things.
Thucydides moves on to analyse the effects of the disease, starting with individuals and groups. Those catching it, he notes, would typically sink into a feeling of utter hopelessness, 'and by giving in in this way, would lose their powers of resistance'. Those caring for others were especially vulnerable, paying the price for 'making it a point of honour to act properly'. So were those who'd moved to the city from the surrounding countryside, and who had nowhere to live: their cramped and unhygienic living conditions made them especially vulnerable to the disease. They sheltered in temples, along with bodies of people who had died inside them. Another group was people who had recovered from the plague: 'such people were congratulated on all sides, and they themselves were so elated at the time of their recovery that they fondly imagined that they could never die of any other disease in future'.
Kerameikos, Athens
Finally, Thucydides offers some wider thoughts about the social effects of the plague. The scale of the disaster and the suffering caused people to become 'indifferent to every law of religion or of law'. Funerals became chaotic, with newly dead bodies flung on top of already burning pyres. (In 1994-5 archaeologists discovered about 150 bodies thrown haphazardly into a mass grave near the Kerameikos in Athens; these might have been associated with the 430 BC plague.) The wealthy 'resolved to spend their money quickly and to spend it on pleasure, since money and life alike seemed equally expendable'. Worship of the gods ceased, since it brought no benefit, and no lawbreaker expected to live long enough to be brought to trial and punished. Superstition was rife. Thucydides, with grim, sceptical humour, reports
At this time of distress people naturally recalled old oracles, and among them was a verse which the old men claimed had been delivered in the past and which said, 'War with the Dorians comes, and a death will come at the same time'. There had been a controversy as to whether the word in this ancient verse was 'dearth' [λιμός – famine] rather than 'death' [λoιμὸς – plague]; but in the present state of affairs the view that the word was 'death' naturally prevailed; it was a case of people adapting their memories to suit their sufferings.
Thucydides gives no mortality statistics, but scholars have estimated that up to a quarter of the Athenian population perished in the plague (which recurred in subsequent years). The disease, Thucydides makes clear, affected Athens' ability to fight the war, and caused strong popular dissatisfaction with Pericles and others in charge of the campaign. In the section immediately before his account of the plague, Thucydides had given the 'text' of Pericles' Funeral Oration, an idealised hymn to the greatness of Athens. Now greatness turns to degradation. Pericles initially himself survived the plague but died soon after, leaving Athens in the hands of political leaders considered, by Thucydides at least, to be more populist and less competent. The war against Sparta dragged on, with one break, for another 26 years. It ended in comprehensive defeat for Athens and the abolition of its democracy.
Nicolas Poussin, The plague of Ashdod, 1628-30 (Louvre, Paris)
Today, although Covid-19 (coronavirus) may be as mysterious (and incurable) as Thucydides' plague, we have so many medical and public health advantages over the ancient Athenians that the outcomes should be much less horrendous. Nevertheless, our virus will kill many people. It will also, like the Athenian plague, have long-lasting consequences. Most will be negative. But not maybe all. It would be good to think, for example, that we might be able to look back on the emergency and conclude that the state, mobilised in the interest of all, is a force to be valued. It's old idea, but one that's been ignored or scorned for half a century by those in power who idolise the market and little else.
Maybe, too, Covid-19 will generate its own plague historian, our own contemporary Thucydides – one of the first and still one of the greatest of historians.

A better option is to learn how to choose a watch that suits you. This is a wiser approach since it will be the best option specifically for you. Statisticbrain reports about 1.2 billion watches are sold each year so you'll have lots of brands and models to pick from. It's all about finding one with the right design, functionality, features, and price that are right for you.
Before you start searching for a new watch, it's critical to think about some things. Make sure to consider your wants and needs. A big decision is the general type/style. For example, do you want a smartwatch or mechanical timepiece? Are you looking for a Casual, Luxury, Sport, or Vintage wristwatch?
Do you prefer a digital or mechanical watch? Think about the various features you want the watch to have. They can include (but aren't limited to) time, day/date, chronograph, health/fitness tracking, mobile payment, or even remote control. Make sure set a budget and just as importantly—stick to it. For example, consider whether you're willing to spend $100, $500, $1,000 or even $20,000 for your next wrist watch.
This is one of the biggest issues to take up when picking the right watch for you.
Field Watch: This wristwatch dates back to World War I when it was designed for World War I officers. These units still have a military vibe and are durable yet functional and stylish. They have a canvas or leather strap since metal would scratch when worn in the field.
Racing/Driving Watch: This style has been popular since the 1930s when Rolex issued Oyster watches to the top drivers. TAG Heuer was another game-changer when it added chronographs and tachymeters to driving watches. These timepieces include a sturdy case, big dial, and metal or leather band.
Pilot/Aviator Watch: The first pilot-specific wristwatch was Santos that Louis Cartier designed for a pilot friend over a century ago in 1904. A pilot watch doesn't have a distinctive style while the features of different "aviator watches" can vary widely. That said, they tend to include easy-to-read features, date/chronograph, and leather band.
Dive Watch: This is one of the most popular sporting watches that James Bond wore in the first 007 movie "Dr. No" (1962). Fun Fact: Bond first wore a Rolex Submariner then later an Omega dive watch.
Dress Watch: This is a simple/stylish option that pairs well with dress suits. The faces usually include Roman/Arabic numerals. Keep in mind that dress watches aren't flashy or oversized. In fact, they tend to be charming and understated.
The three main types of watch movements are: Mechanical, Quartz, and Automatic. The hands of a mechanical watch move with a smooth/sweeping motion. You must manually wind up the watch for it to operate.
Next, the movement of a Quartz watch causes the second hand to move with single ticks. This type of watch is battery-powered. Finally, there's an Automatic watch. The kinetic energy of your wrist/arm drives the mechanisms inside the wristwatch.
Sometimes complications aren't a bad thing. A wrist watch's "complications" are the extras you get with an analog watch. These features include a display that shows the Day/Date or moon's phase.
Other complications include alarms and repeaters (chimes the watch's hour/minutes). Another common complication is the chronograph/stopwatch. There's a basic chronograph and chronograph/tachymeter combo that lets you calculate things like speed, distance, or fuel consumption.
More specifically, it's critical to consider how well the watch's size is proportionate to the size of your wrist/hand. If the watch is too large, it will look showy. Meanwhile, if the watch is too small, it will look like you bought it from a bubblegum machine.
Here's a helpful guideline. If your wrist's circumference is 6-7 inches, then pick a case diameter of 38-42mm wide. Meanwhile, if your wrist diameter is 7+ inches then pick a case that's 44-46mm wide. Always get a second opinion from a friend/relative to make sure you're picking the right size.
Besides setting a budget before you buy a new watch, you should also determine the price range you're searching for. Should you spend $10 for a Casino or $10,000 for a Rolex Submariner? It's a loaded question. The answer is mostly about whether or not you're willing and able to buy a luxury watch.
High-priced watches are greatly as such due to branding and marketing. That said, you'll also be getting top-tier quality, materials, and craftsmanship. The design and tech of luxury prices also explain their sky-high price tags. The bottom line is it's your choice whether to buy a cheap or pricey watch.
This is somewhat related to the issue of the watch's style but is more attire-specific. Silver/titanium are good for night and match up well with blue, black, and grey. Gold watches tend to look good in the daytime and with clothing colors like green, brown, and grey.
Some features are common with nearly all watches but are available in different degrees and functionalities. For example, nearly all watches are splash-resistant. However, if you're planning to do swimming, snorkeling, or diving, then you'll need to select a watch with water resistance up to a particular depth.
Finally, there's an X-factor when learning how to choose a watch that suits you. Consider whether or not you're comfortable wearing it. This is partly about the size of the dial and band. However, it's more about whether you'd feel comfortable strapping on the watch each and every day. If that's true, then it's always the right time for that timepiece.

The uptake of insurance by clearing houses will come down to cost and robustness, Marcus Zickwolff, head of trading and clearing at Eurex Group, says.
About 20 insurance companies have been brought together by New York-based GCSA LLC to offer coverage to clearing houses processing millions of derivatives trades in case of default.
The focus on clearing houses' ability to withstand a failure has increased following reforms requiring liquid OTC derivatives trades to be cleared through a central counterparty (CCP). The move has raised concerns market risk has now been moved from banks to CCPs.
Zickwolff, who is also the chairman of the European Association of CCP Clearing Houses, told theTRADEnews.com CCP insurance could be one of the tools in a recovery or resolution plan.
"However, I wonder if insurance companies are able to model the probability of clearing house failure and can ensure immediate and unconditional pay-out in such a scenario," he said.
In the case of clearing member default, CCPs need immediate liquidity, Zickwolff said. "It's hard to imagine that an insurance company would be immediately and unconditionally able to provide sufficient funding."
If a member was to go bust, CCPs would first use the margin posted by that counterparty, then use some of its own equity, before diving in to members' default fund contributions.
Under the proposed insurance solution, when all default funds were exhausted, the GSCA and its group of insurers would then step in.
Christopher Cononico, founder of GCSA, said insurance brings diversification and has been used in a default waterfall before.
He said insurance companies within the group were the primary risk takers and there would be no "endless chain of re-insurance".
Addressing Zickwolff's concern about immediate access to funds, Cononico said the role of insurance companies was to absorb losses, but the group could work with CCPs to get money fast.
CCPs with unsecured liquidity facilities could provide liquidity immediately and the insurance companies would then pay those back, he said.
Cononico said there has been a lot of enthusiasm from CCPs, but GCSA was still working on explaining how the process would work.
There have been three examples of CCP failures in the past 40 years.
French CCP Caisse de Liquidation went down in 1974, as result of clearing members defaulting on margin calls due to a free fall in the price of sugar futures.
In 1983, the Kuala Lumpur Commodities Clearing House failed when palm oil futures prices caused a number of large broker members to default. And four years later, Black Monday led to the failure of the Hong Kong Futures Exchange clearing house, sparking a bailout of its holding company by the government and a number of large financial institutions.
Virginie O'Shea, senior analyst at Aite and author of a recent report on OTC derivatives clearing said the incidents explain why regulators are so focused on default fund contributions, particularly following the arrival of OTC derivatives clearing.
"There has been a lot of communication on default funds and whether they are big enough," she said.
The Committee on Payment and Settlement Systems and the International Organization of Securities Commission released 24 principles for systematically important market infrastructures, including CCPs, in 2012, addressing clearing houses increased importance in the market and the need for default procedures.
The Bank of England, which assumed responsibility for regulating local CCPs and securities settlement systems in April 2013, has also been closely monitoring clearing houses.
Last week, the central bank released an update report that found all UK CCPs have now introduced arrangements to manage clearing member default losses that exceed their pre-funded resources.
O'Shea said uptake of CCP insurance would come down to price or pressure from regulators and members.
"How will they get the money to put aside for insurance? I'm not sure. It's another thing to add on top of a list of things they're asked to hold capital for. CCPs want to be seen publicly as taking precautions, but the costs could add up and put them out of business," she said.

Blood Bowl: legendary edition

I tried searching for blood bowl here but doesn't seem to be any threads. I just want to recommend this game, it is one great strategy game. I'm sure there are some more ppl out there playing both bb and sc2?
With legendary edition the number of races went from 7 to 20 and with that there is of course more variation in matchups. The online client has a matchmaking system just like sc2.
Anyone else playing this game? The late game blood bowl situations are some of the most intense in strategy games imo.
Nokarot
Played a little bit of Blood Bowl tabletop, and I have the non-legendary edition (from last year). I've been debating getting the Legendary Edition, but I'm more interested in playing with friends, and none of my friends are really interested in buying it. Still considering it, though. It would be awesome to have a Teamliquid league of some variety for it.
Its certainly an amazing turn-based strategy game (theres a real-time mode, but believe it or not, turn-based is infinite superior), if none of you have played it before. There is a little bit of luck involved, which will often bite you in the ass, but minimizing the amount of bad luck that can effect you is, in some ways, the objective of the game.
It's also very fun because of the way results carry over from game to game. To those who don't know much about Blood Bowl, you create a team (with limited resources) and during the course of games, you earn more money in which to upgrade your team. However, you have to battle with constant injuries, and even deaths, which is a constant juggle when you're playing in a league or scheduled in a seasons worth of games.
This thread needs some videos though.
Also, old school Blood Bowl (old MSDOS game) had one of my favorite game songs/intros of all time. Looks like shit now but I love nostalgia.

Ouf, this is indeed tempting :[

I get bored playing this game single player and none of my friends have it for multiplayer. Really cool that they added so many new races though.

I bought a version on Steam for $10 a few weeks ago; assuming it's the normal edition, but I honestly have no idea. Just seemed like a cool game and a good deal. Have yet to boot it up, though. Just checked my desktop and it's apparently the Dark Elves edition, so I don't know if that's standard, legendary, or something else entirely.
#1 Shuttle fan - TeamLiquid CJ Entusman #36 BW4lyfe
The legendary edition says you get 33% off if you own the dark elves version from steam if you care to upgrade.
Looks interesting, but it also looks like a game you have to invest a lot of time into to have fun ^_^

Yeah, the 33% off upgrade was outstanding. It's quite a bit of fun, I always find myself booting it up for a game or two here and there.
I'm more than down for joining a TL league if that's going to happen.
I have a very unique name.
I would definitely buy a game if we had enough people down to play a TL league. That would be hella fun. We could do game write-ups and whatnot, too.
We'd all have to have the Legendary Edition, though. I remember reading that they aren't cross compatible- so even if you want to play one of the first 8 races, you have to play with the Legendary.
Schickysc
I purchased the Legen...wait for it...dairy edition, since I had the original, and loved the board game. I'd be up for some kind of multiplayer league.
Shoot for the Moon, Find a Star
It would be cool to make a TL-league happen. The nice thing about bloodbowl is that it's pretty much perfect to create a new team and play in a league.
We could have some sort of group stage and then playoffs?
Looks like we have 4+ who'd be interested in a Teamliquid league. I have a friend (who plays sc2 and watches TL streams but is a lurker) who may be interested in as well. If we can get 8, I think we can start a league of some variety.

The trailers looked very cool... but then I went to watch some gameplay footage on YouTube.
Very slow moving game, I can see why its not popular.

You essentially watched a youtube video of a chess match/M:tG match/etc. and decided it's "slow moving."
The issue with the popularity of this particular incarnation of the game is that there's a free (though less graphically pleasing) alternative that's been out for some time and has an established fanbase:
http://fumbbl.com/
It is a slow-moving game for all intents and purposes, but the game itself (whether its tabletop, fumbbl or this PC game) is wildly popular. It's as slow paced as any board game, but the strategy is what makes it exciting.
If someone plays halfling or goblin he/she is certaintly a candidate for balls of steel award for potential TL league :D
Is there a demo for this game? I have enjoyed playing American Football games in the past without actually knowing how to play the game (it was the closest thing to a rugby game at the time) and when I was a kid liked warhammer a bit so this might be pretty fun. Definitely keen if a TL league is set up.

Bloodbowl is really fucking good (at least on tabletop). I encourage the formation of a TL league.

If you like warhammer, american football and strategy games you will like blood bowl.
There are basically finesse teams and brute force teams in BB. The brute force teams try to reduce the number of players of other team (via KO, injury or death) and then run the ball in when there is no def left. The finesse teams try to dodge, pass or just run their way past defence because they cannot match other team with brute force.
After games your players level up which creates opportunities to create the specific characters you want for your team, i.e. what works best for your strat.

The complete rulebook can be found here. It is a somewhat long read if you look through the whole thing (its a complex game) but if you skim through it to get the core rules, you'll be able to piece a lot of things together.
The most important things to look up are how blocks work (aka tackles/attacks/etc, not with a shield or anything), what unit statistics mean in relation to the game (movement speed, strength, etc) and how the average turn is played out. Past that, theres a ton ton ton of stuff when it comes to building a team, leveling up a team, random factors that come in to play in each game, etc etc, but knowing the core rules is whats most important.

Just tripped over this thread, and is ive been playing quite some BloodBowl through the tabletop and the pc game (both Blood Bowl & Blood Bowl Legendary Edition) i thought i would come with a bit of an input.
For those interested, i can sort out a private TL League, where ppl can play, learn, be ranked etc. ofcourse depending if there is enough ppl interested in this?
For those of you new to the game and want to learn and read abit about it, the official forum of the game makers is where to go:
This thread guides to the relevant overview of the different races, strategies, starting lineups and skilling:
http://www.cyanide-studio.com/forumBB/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=20133
Else look around at the general forums for information: http://www.cyanide-studio.com/forumBB/
Other usefull readings: http://bbtactics.com
And as Nokarot mentioned, the rulebook also includes the stats of all the avaliable teams, in terms of tributes, skills etc.
I think it would be cool to get a TL league started up
I have many leatherbound books, and my house smells of rich mahogeny

The Delta Airlines & Northwest Airlines Merger : The Shareholders Vote Today
September 25, 2008 by flyingfish 4 Comments
Web: www.thetravelstrategist.com — E-Mail: fish@flyingwithfish.com
25/09/2008 – The Delta Airlines & Northwest Airlines Merger : The Shareholders Vote Today
By the time many of you read this Northwest Airlines' stockholders will have voted on the proposed merger with Delta Airlines in New York, and Delta Airlines' shareholders will have voted on the merger with Northwest Airlines in Atlanta.
The recent recalculations of the merger show a potential for the two airlines to save approximately US$2-billion. With the merger a hot topic in both Delta and Northwest Hub cities, the two airlines have promised to keep all their hubs operating if there is a merger, giving the 'new combined airline' a total of six hubs, as well as a number of significant 'focus cities' to maintain their operations.
review of the merger is pending, and will be released after the share holders vote to merge the two airlines. The merger of the to airlines will create one airline flying under the name "Delta Airlines" and the long storied history of Northwest Airlines and its bright red tails will fade into our memories.
This merger is supposed to create the world's largest airline, eclipsing American Airlines' parent company, AMR. AMR is currently the world's largest airline operating more than 900 aircraft. This information tends to look quite incorrect when you look at the actual 'in-service' fleet aircraft numbers. Even after the merger the combined Delta/Northwest fleet will still be quite a bit smaller than AMR in terms of post-merger 'Delta owned aircraft.'
Currently AMR's fleet consists of 922 aircraft. 635 are flown by American Airlines with an additional 287 operated by American Eagle. Going by the current fleet size numbers, a combined Delta Airlines & Northwest Airlines fleet will consist of 716 aircraft. Delta brings 452 aircraft to the merger and Northwest brings 264 to the merger.
So while the merger press sheets stress a larger fleet that AMR, even if you add in Delta's subsidiary carrier Comair's fleet of 138 aircraft, the total aircraft still remains at 854 aircraft for Delta and 922 for AMR.
If the shareholders vote in favour of the merger, there are many hurdles ahead for the two airlines merge. The huge hurdle is merging the combined pilots Unions. The pay rates are quite different between the carriers. The seniority between the two airlines is different. Even the aircraft and routes the airlines fly are quite different.
The different between airlines and routes is not only an issue for sorting out Union and Pay seniority; it also gets tricky when combining the fleets and route structures. Delta Airlines flies an all Boeing fleet, while Northwest flies a combined Boeing and Airbus fleet.
In creating parity between the two airlines Pilots' Unions, the 'best guess' is that a Delta 777 captain who flies long haul would be equal to a Northwest Airlines 747 captain who flies long haul. After that a Delta 767 captain who flies long haul would equal that of a Northwest A330 captain who flies long haul…….but wait….
Delta operates the 767-300 domestically and on long-haul international routes, as well as a 767-400 both domestically and internationally while Northwest Airlines only flies the A330 on long-haul international routes, including routes over the Pacific to service the Asia market. How will these line up?
In fact, the only common aircraft Delta and Northwest both operate is the Boeing 757-200 (Northwest also operates a 757 sub-fleet in Japan operating of their hub at Tokyo's Narita, as well as the Boeing 757-300).
Just to further complicate things, outside of the passenger fleet, Northwest Airlines also operates a complete fleet of 747 cargo aircraft.
The pilots Unions seem to be on-board with this merger, at least in public, so hopefully they can work these issues out.
On the operations side, Northwest Airlines has a long and intertwined history with KLM Royal Dutch Airlines. The history between these two airlines is so intertwined that they have often alternated aircraft on routes, chosen to fly compatible fleets over the years and designed a strikingly similar business class……that they both branded as "World Business Class."
What happens to this relationship? Will Northwest's hub in Amsterdam become Delta's hub in Amsterdam to continue to operate in complete harmony with KLM?
It is clear that the frequent flyer programs will merger and that Northwest Airlines' WorldPerks will be folded into Delta Airlines' SkyMiles program. Currently Delta's frequent flyer program offers status based only on flown miles, while Northwest's frequent flyer program operates on both flown miles and/or flown segments. With many Northwest elite's having many short-haul 'segment elites,' will Delta adopt segments, or will Northwest elites be forced out of their status sending them to other airlines and programs?
As the two frequent flyers are merged what is to become of Northwest's relationship with the Air France-KLM Flying Blue frequent flyer program? With reciprocal upgrades for flyers between the two programs, and Air France-KLM elites having access to the Northwest WorldClubs, will they now have access to Delta's Crown Room Club's?
I know I am getting bogged down in the relatively minor details. The shareholders are interested in the stock swap values, the buy out packages, the executive structure and the cost reduction of combining overlapping routes…
…………wait, I'm interested in the cost reduction of combining overlapping routes.
There are certain flights I have enjoyed on both airlines that are popular flights and that fly out generally full with high revenue passengers. Most of these flights are early or late morning trans-continental routes. These routes are between cities such as New York and San Francisco, and they are fiercely competitive between Delta, American, United, JetBlue and Virgin America. These flights will now be 'overlapping' when combined with a route with a stop in Minneapolis on the Northwest vs a non-stop on Delta. Other routes would be Northwest's extensive flights between North America and Asia, via Tokyo Japan. Will some of these routes, which are all high traffic routes, be eliminated to allow the combined airline to continue its daily non-stop from Delta's 'Fortress' in Atlanta?
The two airlines compliment each other well. Northwest Airlines dominates the Midwest in many markets and has a strong hold on the Pacific routes, while Delta has a strong presence along the east coast and transcontinental routes, along with a significant route structure for Europe and a growing presence in the Middle East.
Overall, while I'd love to see the airline remain independent, I fully understand the merger. In my opinion as an observer sitting on the sideline this is possibly the best matched merger of airlines we have seen in a very long time, ever since……well since Northwest Airlines merged with Republic Airlines.
………….so let's see what the shareholders say. Will we be seeing 747-400s painted up in Delta's livery in the future?

How Will United Becoming The World's Largest Airline Impact You? - Flying With Fish says:

walp says:
It probably seems to make sense to make this deal a reality but employees need to beware. Bad things happen to airline employees and you will read one sad story below.
According to several sources, Mr. Anderson, the current leader of Delta Air Lines, does not plan to reopen the issue of Delta Retired Pilots Pensions.
When Delta entered bankruptcy a little over 3 years ago, the very first day they requested and were given permission by the court to eliminate the retired pilots pension even though they had the funds in place to continue with these pensions.
The pension funds were given to the government entity called Pension Benefit Guarantee Corporation. This outfit takes over failed pensions and throws all the funds from these failed plans into one pot and uses some magic formulas to come up with some pittance for the unfortunate pensioner. They were very happy to get all the hundreds of millions from the Delta pilots pension fund since they need the money to stay solvent. Now, instead of the retired Delta pilots receiving what they worked their entire careers earning the PBGC worked their magic and decided we should receive a very small percentage of our original earned pension. Yes, earned, it was part of our compensation that was put into the fund all during our career. Now it has been stolen by delta and they do not want to reinstate it but they will pay the pensions of the retired Northwest pilots.
Can anybody explain how it will be fair for a pilot that worked his or her entire career for Delta and now has only approximately 10-12% of his or her original pension paid by the PBGC.
Now, Delta and Northwest are going merge and the new airline will be called Delta and as I noted earlier, the retired Northwest pilots will continue to get their pensions from Delta and the original REAL Delta Pilots will not be reinstated to the same pension.
Totally unfair and nothing that the Delta retired pilots had the choice or opportunity to vote on. The deal was struck between ALPA (Air Line Pilots Association – the union)and the former Delta management. Again, retired Delta pilots had no choice.
I want the news media and every blog and internet source to jump on this discussion as well as any customer of this giant bully called Delta.
Almost no current Delta passenger or customer knows what happened to the small group of retired pilots that were treated so grossly unfair.
The NEW Delta needs to do what is right and that is to include the original Delta retired pilots in the new company pilot pension plan.
It will take some undoing of past agreements and require somehow reaquiring the pension moneys that were simply given to the PBGC but if the lawyers could figure out how to take it away from this group then, they can figure out how to reaquire the funds.
Delta spent untold millions to attorneys to do the bankruptcy and try as we could, the small group of retired Delta pilots could not ever come up with enough money to combat the army of Delta attorneys, we were simply railroaded.
Any legal costs to reinstate our pensions should be born by Delta since they are the ones that did the deed. It is only the right thing to do.
Come on folks, jump in on this issue. Lets hear what you have to say. Do you agree that Delta should reinstate the retired Delta Pilots Pension Fund that was taken away? If you disagree, speak up with your reasons.
Remember, it could be your group next. No labor group is immune.
Walp,
I don't disagree with you at all.
I'll be sure to highlight your comment in this week's upcoming Weekly Round Up on the 3rd of October
Thanks Fish,
Walp

The Soldiers of Gloucestershire Museum is located within the historic docks in the city of Gloucester. The museum tells the story of two regiments of the British Army, the Gloucestershire Regiment, including its antecedents the 28th (North Gloucestershire) Regiment of Foot and the 61st (South Gloucestershire) Regiment of Foot, and the Royal Gloucestershire Hussars, both of which recruited heavily from Gloucestershire and Bristol.

History

The museum collection was begun in 1926, when it was housed at Victoria Dock in Bristol. In 1980, having spent the previous 30 years located in Westgate Street, Gloucester, it was moved again to the former Custom House in Gloucester Docks, and the new museum was formally opened by The Duke of Gloucester. It was significantly remodelled in the late 1980s, reopening on 24 June 1990, and was further refurbished with a grant from the Heritage Lottery Fund in the new millennium, reopening again in April 2014.

The items on display have been accumulated over the last 300 years and exhibits include life size dioramas, sound effects, archive film and many fixed displays reflecting campaigns in the Napoleonic Wars, the First Anglo-Sikh War, the Second Anglo-Sikh War, the Indian Mutiny, the Second Boer War, the First World War, the Second World War, the Korean War, and peace keeping duties in Cyprus, Bosnia, Kosovo and Northern Ireland. The museum has maintained the currency of its exhibits and recent campaigns in Iraq and Afghanistan are also represented.

The Victoria Crosses of Herbert Taylor Reade of the 61st Regiment, and Daniel Burges, James Carne and Hardy Falconer Parsons, all of the Gloucestershire Regiment, are held by the museum.

The museum continues to receive new exhibits and the most recent significant acquisition is a service revolver collected from Gloster Hill, where the Glosters made their last stand on 25 April 1951 at the culmination of the Battle of the Imjin River.

Displays
The museum is laid out in a series of rooms in approximate chronological order:

The Early Years - Of particular note here are some fine miniature paintings of officers from the 18th and early 19th centuries. Also some interesting paintings of the Gloucestershire Militias in the 19th century.
The Napoleonic Room - On view here are some items of equipment and uniform, as well as some fine medals from the Peninsular War and Waterloo.
The 19th Century Room - Includes some unusual examples of early uniforms and memorabilia from the 28th's time in Australia and the Crimean War.
World War I Room (1) - Features weapons, drawings and artefacts from the period.
World War II Room (2) - Of especial note here is the audio-visual display about the bitter actions fought by the Gloucesters' rearguard at Dunkirk in 1940.
Royal Gloucestershire Hussars Rooms - Includes some very fine silverware, uniforms and paintings from their inception in the 1790s until after the Second World War.
Korean War Room - Artefacts plus an audio-visual display of the dramatic story told by the soldiers themselves who fought at the Imjin River in 1951.
National Service Room - Many items on display covering the period of British Army National Service from the late 1940s to the early 1960s.
World War I and World War II Rooms (2) - Lifelike tableaux of a trench and dugout from 1916 and fighting in Burma in 1944.
Medal Cabinets - 24 drawers containing interesting medal groups of soldiers from the Gloucestershire Regiment and Royal Gloucestershire Hussars.

The Custom House

The Custom House housing the museum is early Victorian building completed in 1845 to a design by architect Sydney Smirke, who by coincidence also designed the building now occupied by the Imperial War Museum in Lambeth.

Construction

By the early 1840s it had become clear that the Old Custom House was inadequate for the amount of trade then going through the Port of Gloucester. So, in February 1843 a suitable site for a completely new building adjacent to the docks was identified. However it took over a year to complete the legal formalities. Eventually, work started in April 1844, and in spite of a late decision to face the walls with Painswick stone instead of brick, the building was roofed out by October of that year. Work then continued inside, including the late addition of a door between the Comptroller's office and the Long Room where the clerks were to work. When the final payment was made to the contractor in September 1845, the total cost, including land and fittings, came to £5,780.

Role as a Customs House

Thus from late 1845 the building was occupied by the Collector of Customs and his staff, who were mainly responsible for recording cargoes brought to Gloucester from foreign ports and for collecting the customs duty payable on those goods. In addition some clerks undertook the registration of locally owned vessels on behalf of the Board of Trade and maintained service records of the masters and crews who served in these vessels. Also during the 19th century, part of the building was lived in by one of the customs officers. Eventually the handling of foreign cargoes mainly moved to Sharpness and activity in the Port of Gloucester declined. However the Custom House continued to function as an administrative office until the late 1970s.

A New Role

After the customs staff moved out, the building took on a new life as the headquarters of the Gloucestershire Regiment, including a museum, opened initially in 1980. At that time the entrance to the museum was from Commercial Road, but in view of the redevelopment of the docks for leisure and following a public appeal, the museum was reorganised and reopened in 1990 with an entrance at what had been the back of the original building, but facing the docks.

Utah's GOP gubernatorial candidates to hit stage together for first time at St. George event
High profile candidates in Utah's gubernatorial race will be together on stage for this first time in St. George.

If a Republican is going to become Utah's next governor, he or she is likely to be on stage this week at a business convention in St. George.
A special forum at the Jan. 9, 2020 Economic Summit is set to include former Gov. Jon Huntsman Jr., sitting Lieutenant Gov. Spencer Cox, businessman Jeff Burningham, Salt Lake County Councilor Aimee Winder Newton and former Utah House Speaker Greg Hughes, officials with the St. George Area Economic Development office confirmed this week.
It will be the first time those candidates will be on stage together ahead of the 2020 election, and they could be joined by another candidate by the time of the event, with former Utah Republican Party Chairman Thomas Wright having joined the race recently.
Those initial five candidates are confirmed as being part of the forum, according to Jeriah Threlfall, the executive director of the nonprofit running the summit. He said it's notable that the candidates will be in southern Utah for their first event together.
"I think it's a strong signal of our local economy and how far we've come. We're the fastest-growing area in the state," Threlfall said. "More and more we're going to be a bigger part of the conversation."
Cox, Winder Newton, Burningham, Huntsman and Wright have declared their intent to gather signatures to get themselves on the primary ballot come June. Candidates can bypass the convention nomination process by getting 28,000 signatures.
Threlfall said candidates from the Democratic Party are not excluded from holding a forum in St. George, but he said there isn't a significant race going on at this time. Threlfall added if there are Democratic candidates interested in having a conversation in the area, it can be arranged.
The forum between the candidates will be held at 12:30 p.m. at the Summit, which takes place annually at the Dixie Convention Center. The forum will last 90 minutes and is not formatted to act as a debate, according to Threlfall. The moderator, Natalie Gochnour — the director of the Kem C. Gardner Policy Institute at the University of Utah — will ask each candidate a few pre-determined questions and they'll be given one minute each to answer. Similar to debate rules, if another candidate is brought up in an answer, they'll be given 30 seconds of rebuttal time.
Threlfall said he's excited to have the candidates in conversation at the summit since the governor's office can play an important role in putting business policies in place throughout the state.
"We care about the Wasatch Front, but while we've got [the candidates] down here we want to hear their views of southern Utah and how they'll address the challenges we have," Threlfall said.
Tickets to the summit are still available online. There will be a limited number of tickets sold at the door, but Threlfall encourages those who would like to attend to buy in advance.

Over the past few seasons, we've seen trends ebb and flow and mix and match. Most prominently we've seen gender lines blur as men and women share and exchange their styles. This season, one of the top trends we saw popping up everywhere was the slicked back "wet" look. As men grow their hair longer to create the style, women of all lengths have been adopting this trend.
The biggest misconception about this style lies in the finish of the hair – it isn't actually supposed to be wet, you just want to give off that feel. This leaves many of us wondering how to get the look, the answer is products!
Start off by washing and conditioning your hair to ensure you're starting your style on a blank canvas. We recommend using Reuzel Daily Shampoo and Conditioner to cleanse the hair while providing moisture, scalp stimulation and a nice slip to the hair.
Next, once out of the shower, you'll want to use a grooming comb to begin pushing your hair back from the hairline to the crown and nape area. If your hair is on the straighter side, simply apply a generous amount of Reuzel Pomade Red for a customizable hold factor with a high amount of sheen. For thicker wavier textures, you'll want to apply Reuzel Pomade Blue for a high hold and shine; Pomade Blue holds hair like a Wax, looks like Pomade and rinses like a Gel.
If your hair dries fast, you can simply let it be. However for more stubborn textures, directionally blow drying the hair into the desired shape with Reuzel Grooming Tonic and then using your Pomade of choice will create your perfect slick backed style.
Don't forget to stock up on extra products this season, since your mate will be asking you to pass the pomade.
Looking for something specific to switch up your style? Check out all the goodies Reuzel has to pick from in the Bangstyle store!


Yesterday was the descending day of Lord Buddha, as holy as it could be. I went on an outing with my family to Punakha. We visited Punakha Dzong, actually we reached at the gate, only my brother Sonam went in with Jigme since he didn't visit it earlier. Then we went up to Zomlingthang, a beautiful place to sit for lunch. It was fun pulling out my car from quicksand. Everybody made a joke of me, "your car is not a desert car!" My wife got angry. It took us about an hour and a tea break to get the car out of the sand I drove in.
From there we drove to Kuruthang Zangtopelri, it is another place I have already visited so I let in the three kids for their exam's sake. Then we lunched at a popular restaurant. We chose to take the rough road back home, along the river. There was a little beach where we played in the evening sun.
The picture from the day are posted in my facebook album, please have a look.
Doesn't the day sound exciting? Well it was a wonderful day. However, the evening spoiled the day. I discovered what my brother Tenzin had done with his exam and result. He didn't show me any paper he got, only upon asking he would vaguely tell me the marks he got. I didn't mind that, not his mark even.
The result sheet where I was supposed to sign was also hidden. Even if he showed me his terrible marks what would I do? I would look at them, shake my head, give some words and take some words, and that's it. Why did he have to hide it at all?
Now when I asked him to show me his result sheet, he thought I was joking. There were hundreds other things we joke about at home but he should realize that his education would be the last thing I would joke about. I made him realize that it's a serious business but he lied to me and said he lost his result. I showed him my nine year old result and asked him how he could lose three day old result. But that didn't make sense to him. He then changed his story; he now said he tore the result.
I got furious and wiped him until he cried and until he showed me his result from underneath the cupboard. He had failed in four subjects and just managed to pass in the rest. I didn't mind him failing; I didn't say anything when he failed alike in mid-term. When he cried it almost broke my heart but if I give in to my emotions now I can never make him appreciate how important and serious education is for his life.
After dinner he went to bed early, but I couldn't sleep for a long time. It was a wonderful day we had, why suddenly did this have to happen. His loud cry kept echoing in my ears. I wanted to go at his bedside and tell him that I am sorry and that I love him, but I couldn't. Perhaps he already knows how much I love him. I only want him to lead a life he would love to live and for that I may have to break my own heart once too often.
So there goes your merit!
Over the years that I have raised my nieces and nephew, I have come to understand so much about the psychology of the children. If you give them the strength to be honest, they are honest. Teach them to face failures and learn from them, ask them to admit the mistakes they make, show them the better way to deal with such matters and I tell you, they do learn a lot.
Mmm, I think Tenzin learnt a lesson the harder way. But PaSsu, love him like you will anyways. Don't hold back, go and say sorry to him. You owe him one anyways.
I understand what it is like to love your brother and having to care him through hard ways. But he will surely come to see what you mean by being hard on him sometime. I will be writing an article on something similar to this soon. Have thought of it for more than a week now and haven't been able to start.


As summer heats up, so too does the calculable media coverage, vivid images and conversation about algal blooms in western Lake Erie. With NOAA's early 2018 projections mimicking the 2017 algal bloom, this year is sure to be filled with much finger-pointing and few real solutions. Last year, I wrote an op-ed calling on the state to embrace common sense standards for agricultural producers and take concrete steps toward curbing nutrient runoff. With minimal change in messaging and action from the state, this year I am calling on state agencies, the legislature, and stakeholders in the agricultural and urban sectors to embrace a new priority: improving soil health.

Is Captain Marvel Stronger Than Scarlet Witch?
The Marvel Cinematic Universe has exploded with power since the conclusion of the Infinity Saga. As a result, new heroes like the Eternals have arrived to show this power has existed in the universe for millennia. However, even established heroes are receiving massive power boosts, like Wanda Maximoff.
Scarlet Witch's Powers and Abilities Captain Marvel's Powers and Abilities Wanda vs. Captain Marvel Verdict: Scarlet Witch Is Stronger
With Scarlet Witch's abilities less tangible than some of her immediate counterparts, it can be difficult to know where the character ranks in terms of sheer power. With so much exponential growth occurring in the MCU, where does a character like Scarlet Witch stand when compared to a powerhouse like Captain Marvel? And which could be considered the strongest?
RELATED: Marvel's Original Captain Marvel Has Finally Reunited with His Alter Ego
Scarlet Witch's Powers and Abilities
The MCU had expanded that Wanda Maximoff gained her powers through Hydra experimentation with the Mind Stone. Exposure to its energy resulted in her manifesting telekinesis and mental manipulation while her brother, Pietro, gained super-speed. Following the Infinity Saga, Wanda's power levels exploded as a result of a lifetime of trauma.
However, WandaVision revealed the Mind Stone didn't actually grant her powers. Instead, it only amplified her innate abilities and unlocked a destiny that led her to become the Scarlet Witch. Before WandaVision, Wanda's telekinetic skills were a force to be reckoned with. Her manipulation of matter permitted her to clear out gas from rooms, lift massive structures, and even destroy Thanos' sword. Her strength level is reflective of her rage, as shown in Avengers: Endgame when she sees nearly tears apart the Mad Titan.
Once she becomes the Scarlet Witch, Wanda can manipulate minds on a larger scale and warp reality to her will — so much so that she can even create life. The Westview incident best demonstrates this as she turned an entire town into a sitcom-style community. Wanda's possession of the Darkhold, as depicted in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, added dreamwalking, energy absorption, and augmented strength and endurance to her already-formidable arsenal.

Captain Marvel's Powers and Abilities
Carol Danvers is a living battery who can use energy in devastating or constructive ways. Her abilities originated from the Space Stone when she was exposed to the energy of an engine powered by the cosmic relic. As a result, Captain Marvel can absorb, and redirect, massive amounts of energy. These powers grant her super-strength, flight and energy projection. When stored enough, Captain Marvel can unleash her strength at once and assume a binary form that makes her as strong as a shooting star.
In the MCU, Carol has taken on Thanos and nearly defeated him until he used the Power Stone against her. She's also flown through multiple ships and destroyed them without sustaining damage. The seventh episode of What If…? reveals she can take go toe-to-toe with Thor, even when he's at full strength. In fact, she might easily defeat the god of thunder, considering she not only held back but also absorbed his lighting without struggle. Ultimately, Captain Marvel is a cosmic wrecking ball whose limits have yet to be fully recorded.

Wanda vs. Captain Marvel Verdict: Scarlet Witch Is Stronger
There's no denying that the Scarlet Witch can't hold a candle to Captain Marvel in terms of raw physical strength. That said, Wanda has an edge due to Chaos Magic and her reality-warping abilities. Her telekinesis alone could nearly kill Thanos faster than Carol's punches. Now, as the Scarlet Witch, she doesn't even have to move objects with her mind to get what she wants.
What's even scarier is that Wanda is a conduit for energy, while Carol has a limit, even if it hasn't been reached. In the end, Wanda's untapped potential dramatically surpasses Carol's, making her even stronger than Captain Marvel.

Just a quick post to share some new base products Shu Uemura has rolled out recently.
One of my favourite makeup bases, the UV Under Base Mousse is now available in three shades – Beige, Pink and their latest addition, BB Beige. I believe BB Beige was first launched in their Sakura Collection by Mika Ninagawa beginning of this year and it was a limited edition shade. I am extremely glad that Shu Uemura has decided to make it permanent as this shade seems to offer more coverage and works like a BB Cream.
A must-have make-up base for long-lasting make-up creation. BB shade that perfectly blends into every skin tone for instantly and visibly unified complexion. Exquisite moisture feel with aquatoril™ and hyaluronic acid.
The new Shu Uemura Face Architect Smooth Fit Fluid Foundation will soon replace their existing Face Architect Smoothing Fluid Foundation and its available in 9 shades. It claims to have a light and fresh-water sensation with a soft focus finish for visible surface smoothness. It also contains sweat-resistant and skin caring ingredient-based formula.
Following the success of their Pro Gel Cealer, Shu Uemura has created Point Cealer which features an ultra blendable formula with a unique slanted sponge tip. It's formulated with Vitamin E and can be used on blemish areas. Available in 4 shades.
I spotted the products above at ION Orchard, I believe they are exclusively launched at ION for now. I am not sure when the products will go on sale at other Shu Uemura counters.

Oooh – I want the point concealer!
The Point Cealer seems interesting, I didn't get to try it because I was in a rush..
Wonder if the applicator is helpful..
