When I saw we were lining up in a 4-1-4-1 again, my first feeling was that this game would not go as well and we'd want it to. There's been enough evidence, and enough analysis of that evidence, to prove that Arsenal don't play so well when trying to load as many of its creative talents as possible into the side and so it proved once again.
Individually, I don't think anyone played badly, which is unusual considering the system they play in doesn't get the best out of them. Other than perhaps Welbeck, who suffered from a lack of service, and Ramsey, who game by game is getting further away from the player he was last season, everyone put in good performances. There was certainly no lack of effort or intensity; the derby requires extra from the players and they gave it.
But it's the same old problem this season. I could literally copy and paste parts from previous threads and it'd still apply. The balance of the side, especially the attack, isn't right and it's effecting our chance creation and, subsequently, our ability to score goals.
There's no shortage of talent in that midfield or frontline but how it's being utilised has been very disappointing. Against Villa last week Ozil returned to his best position where he could play close to Welbeck and the two combined brilliantly. Today, Ozil goes back out wide, so he's further away from Welbeck and the two barely connect at all throughout the whole game. Then there's the issue of Wilshere and Ramsey seemingly being unable to play together, in as much that one always seems unsure about his role in the side. Against Villa, Wilshere was rested, Ramsey played deeper and closer to Arteta and the side looked better balanced.
The fact we can leave Alexis on the bench speaks volumes of the depth of the side in midfield and up front but this in itself is proving to be an issue. Wenger knows his key players are Ramsey, Ozil and Alexis, but he also has Wilshere, Chamberlain and Cazorla who, in his mind, he can't leave out. It's impossible to get them all on the field at the same time, but he's, seemingly, attempting to do just that. In the process, his team aren't winning football matches.
I reiterate that Arsenal didn't play badly. They played very well, in fact. It's just that they're not creating enough chances, and in trying to create more chances they're leaving themselves more open. Inevitably we concede, and have to put in more effort just to salvage something from the game. Instead of beating a team that doesn't have the same quality as us, we're left trying to come from behind and get something from the game.
So where do Arsenal go from here? Arsenal have won just two games out of six so far in the league and it's not good enough. Quite simply, it's decision time for Wenger.
With Arteta and Ramsey injured, and Wilshere carrying an ankle knock as well, it may be that some of these decisions are made for Wenger. If neither Wilshere or Ramsey are available then Ozil has to play in the middle. From there, he has to decide he who wants on the flanks. Does he want Cazorla on the left or Alexis? Does he want Chamberlain on the right or Alexis? Perhaps it's just my frustration getting the best of me but I want him to make up his *bleep* mind about what his best set-up.
Arsenal are unbeaten but have won only twice and with Chelsea to come that unbeaten record will almost certainly disappear. At this rate, I'm prepared to write off the entire season, even at this early stage. Somehow, despite the new signings, we've become worst than last year, and that's hard to swallow.

It's infuriating to see us change our formation after a GOOD game just last week. It's pointless to discuss individuals because our problems are deeper than that BUT Flamini costs us another goal, this guy is truly awful.
First of his name
by RealGunner Sat Sep 27, 2014 1:03 pm
Flamini looks slower than Arteta lol.
by urbaNRoots Sat Sep 27, 2014 1:06 pm
Arsene Wenger says there is "no chance" that Aaron Ramsey and Mikel Arteta will be fit for Galatasaray on Wednesday.
Oh dear
by EL Patron Sat Sep 27, 2014 1:16 pm
I don't like criticizing individuals but Flamini is depressing to watch, at least Arteta is a footballer while Flamini looks like a pub player. His reaction when he received the ball under pressure from Spuurz players was priceless

Losing interest in football fast. Parma playing like horseshit but that's expected since the budget is half of a peanut but now Arsenal does too with supposed 100 times more budget fml. Never seen such stacked and dire team, out of energy and idea so early in the season.
by Raptorgunner Sat Sep 27, 2014 1:44 pm
This is one of the worse Spurs team in years and we could not do anything against them.
The home points don't matter much anyways, Wenger will get maximum points at Chelsea and United.

we are so boring to watch as well, with Chelski away next week and Flamini in the lineup. I fear for us at the moment
by MJ Sat Sep 27, 2014 2:06 pm
Honestly, at this point, we should just throw Diaby in the deep end vs Chelsea away.
Got 0 confidence in Flamini as DM.
Either that or play Chambers there with Bellerin on the right.
Now, with Ramsey and possibly Wilshere out, we won't have to worry about fitting them both in since neither one will even be available
We're cursed with injuries.
by silver Sat Sep 27, 2014 6:50 pm
This game just further reinforces 3 points that everyone but Wenger seems to know about.
1. Flamini is done and we are paying the price of not bringing in a competent DM during the transfer window.
2. Wenger is too stubborn to rotate, burn players out and is then forced to "rotate" when players get injured.
3. Ozil is best in the middle. The fact that after the Villa game Wenger still persists with 4-1-4-1 and Ozil on the left against shows his arrogance and stubbornness.

After watching I feel like we just have the absolute worst derby out there
almost every other major derby has a special feeling to it. No matter what the outside issues are or what is going on in the world, things seem to stop when they play each other. The players AND the fans seem to set aside other things, and the matches are almost always something special
Except us against Spurs. I never ever feel that urgency or sense of importance from the players, or even the fans watching these games lately. We might as well have been playing Southampton or something with the sense of urgency our team played with.. Or from the involvement from the fans... Extremely disappointing.
Feel like the only one who really understands the importance of these games in our squad was sitting on the bench wearing a suit
@MesutOzil1088
almost 70% ball possession - 15 corners, eventually only one point. but we can build on our style of playing in the 2nd half #AFCvTHFC #COYG

I sure hope you are not talking about Wenger. I do not think he sees the importance in any game these days
by sportsczy Sun Sep 28, 2014 2:29 am
It's a bit tough for Arsenal and many clubs that had WC elimination round players... just look at the standings around the different leagues. A lot of slow starts.
Kos, Per, Debuchy, Sanchez, Giroud, etc. all started late... and then some got injured.
The one thing i will criticize Wenger about is that he is too optimistic with players... he looks at the bright side too much. It was clear as day that Arsenal needed a physical CM and a proper striker to compete with Giroud. He doesn't sign a CM and Welbeck is, always was, and always will be a crap scorer... Nothing was addressed.
When a season is based on hoping for things to happen as opposed to having a reasonable level certainty.... then you're just asking for it. Been like this for years at Arsenal tbh. Money is not an excuse anymore either.

Tottenham have regressed and there isn't really an edge to it now. A few seasons ago the derby games were immense
by El Gunner Sun Sep 28, 2014 3:09 am
I feel you Jay.
We should be better prepared and playing better this season, but that is not the case. And it's all because of Wenger's stubborness and stupidity.
We have all discussed this since the beginning of the season. Why is Wenger trying something else that doesn't look like it'll work out, especially not anytime soon.
If he is thinking he can do what Rodgers did with Liverpool last season, by trying something else and working on it till it results in working unit that gives us results, he is unfortunately mistaken. The system and style of play (which I'm not even 100% of what he is trying to achieve) is not made for our players. If we had the players for this new system then I would understand. But what I just don't understand is why is he trying to change something which came good at the end of last season. Why doesn't he just build on what we did last season. I mean, that would be soooo much easier.
It's cool that we're still unbeaten thus far in the league, but 2 wins and 4 draws is just not good enough, when we know we should have, if things just went slightly in another way, won against all those teams which we have drawn against.
Honestly, I think we would've won all our games so far this season if we continued with what and where we left off last season.
This is all on Wenger really.

think it was one of those games that playing 2 up front would have saved the day
combination of Giroud-Welbeck could be tricky to deal with
by SamuelJayC Sun Sep 28, 2014 8:35 am
Had a day to think about the performance and the result.
A frustrating day, and yet another draw combined with more injuries. It was, I think, the poorest derby in a long time.
We had enough possession to win the game, but losing Arteta & Ramsey upset us massively. Alexis and Cazorla starting on the bench was imo bizarre. I feel maybe it was because Wilshere & Chamberlain are English and know the derby 'better' but it's a weird one.
Overall, we have started the season with 4 draws and 2 wins in the League and when you consider we have played Everton, Man City, Spurs in those 6 games, it's not an awful start. Throw in the Besiktas and Dortmund games too and overall, our start has been very tricky but we have done not too bad.
Chambers and Gibbs were maybe our two best players against Spurs, I thought. The former has started his career with us so well.
Now we face two massive games, again. Firstly Galatasaray (h) which is a must-win after our defeat in Dortmund. It will be interesting to see who plays, particularly if Wilshere, Ramsey and Arteta are all out. We may see:
Szczesny; Chambers Mertesacker Koscielny Gibbs; Flamini Chamberlain; Alexis Ozil Cazorla; Welbeck
Ospina Bellerin Coquelin Diaby Rosicky Podolski Campbell
Then we have Chelsea away, which, well, I don't really want to say might happen.
SamuelJayC
You are right Jay "4 draws and 2 wins in the League and when you consider we have played Everton, Man City, Spurs" Is not that bad. What is bad is that we do not look like can beat anyone. Since we concluded the exist of all our world class players when we lost RVP a couple of years ago the ability to score a goal has turned into a chore not a certainty. Now we try to possess the ball for 90 minutes and pray that at some time during the 90 minutes we actually are able to get a goal. Even for our win over AV, did we look good? Did we look confident? Not at all we looked like we wanted to posses the ball for as long as we could and had no clue what to do with it. There was a 4 minute window in that game that the stars lined up in a way and caused a situation in which the game went our way. We did not start the game earning a win until the last minute. For the first half AV fought us and for the most part looked the more likely to score. For the entirety of the second half both teams capitulated. As long as we continued to play like we have through every minute of every game this year and just passed the ball around the midfield not looking like we were attempting to score, AV did not care! That is what is that bad!
FFS We are Arsenal, We are supposed to play beautiful attacking football, We are supposed to be challenging for honors. When did a record of 2 wins, 4 draws with 0 losses actually become acceptable? A "season with 4 draws and 2 wins in the League and when you consider we have played Everton, Man City, Spurs in those 6 games" is not bad, it is horrible and I think shows how far down or once proud club has fallen.
by Raptorgunner Sun Sep 28, 2014 12:37 pm
We become so mediocre, predictable and boring, thank you Genius Wenger. All these draws will kill us in the end, not even worried about Chelsea game cant be worse than last year.
Nothing changed last year and Wenger is not going to change now, really not expecting anything from Wenger anymore. Our team has great potential we just have a manager that is not getting the best out of them.
Football is about tactics, and we will keep losing points unless the Genius takes some classes to learn tactics to win games.
by EL Patron Sun Sep 28, 2014 2:01 pm
Despite all the injuries, we still have a decent side there
Don't like OX in midfield, gives the ball away too often and makes poor decision on the ball but Rosicky was so bad against Southampton so we have no choice.
by Sina Sun Sep 28, 2014 2:16 pm
Cazorla against Ivanovic is such a physical mismatch
dont want that
might as well count on Coquelin to play in midfield

On reading, on writing, on living
F. Scott Fitzgerald On A Budget
04/03/2015 09:19 am ET Updated Jun 03, 2015
By F. Scott Fitzgerald / Scribner Magazine
This is the first in a coming series of Scribner features on F. Scott Fitzgerald to celebrate the 90th anniversary of the publication of The Great Gatsby.
Who hasn't tried new ways to save money? In this excerpt from A Short Autobiography, F. Scott Fitzgerald recounts his expenditures and attempts to stick a budget, originally published in The Saturday Evening Post, April 5, 1924.
There was no help for it--I must go to work. I had exhausted my resources and there was nothing else to do. In the train I listed all our possessions on which, if it came to that, we could possibly raise money. Here is the list:
•	1 Oil stove, damaged.
•	9 Electric lamps, all varieties.
•	2 Bookcases with books to match.
•	1 Cigarette humidor, made by a convict.
•	2 Framed crayon portraits of my wife and me.
•	1 Medium-priced automobile, 1921 model.
•	1 Bond, par value $1, 000; actual value unknown.
"Let's cut down expenses right away," began my wife when I reached home. "There's a new grocery in town where you pay cash and everything costs only half what it does anywhere else. I can take the car every morning and--"
"Cash!" I began to laugh at this. "Cash!"
The one thing it was impossible for us to do now was to pay cash. It was too late to pay cash. We had no cash to pay. We should rather have gone down on our knees and thanked the butcher and grocer for letting us charge. An enormous economic fact became clear to me at that moment--the rarity of cash, the latitude of choice that cash allows.
"Well, " she remarked thoughtfully, "that's too bad. But at least we don't need three servants. We'll get a Japanese to do general housework, and I'll be nurse for a while until you get us put of danger. "
"Let them go?" I demanded incredulously. "But we can't let them go! We'd have to pay them an extra two weeks each. Why, to get them out of the house would cost us $125--in cash! Besides, it's nice to have the butler; if we have an awful smash we can send him up to New York to hold us a place in the bread line."
"Well, then, how can we economize?"
"We can't. We're too poor to economize. Economy is a luxury. We could have economized last summer--but now our only salvation is in extravagance."
"How about a smaller house?"
"Impossible! Moving is the most expensive thing in the world; and besides, I couldn't work during the confusion. No, " I went on, "I'll just have to get out of this mess the only way I know how, by making more money. Then when we've got something in the bank we can decide what we'd better do. "
Over our garage is a large bare room whither I now retired with pencil, paper and the oil stove, emerging the next afternoon at five o'clock with a 7, 000-word story. That was something; it would pay the rent and last month's overdue bills. It took twelve hours a day for five weeks to rise from abject poverty back into the middle class, but within that time we had paid our debts, and the cause for immediate worry was over.
But I was far from satisfied with the whole affair. A young man can work at excessive speed with no ill effects, but youth is unfortunately not a permanent condition of life.
I wanted to find out where the $36,000 had gone. Thirty-six thousand is not very wealthy--not yacht-and-Palm-Beach wealthy--but it sounds to me as though it should buy a roomy house full of furniture, a trip to Europe once a year, and a bond or two besides. But our $36,000 had bought nothing at all.
So I dug up my miscellaneous account books, and my wife dug up her complete household record for the year 1923, and we made out the monthly average. Here it is:
"Well, that's not bad, " we thought when we had got thus far. "Some of the items are pretty high, especially food and servants. But there's about everything accounted for, and it's only a little more than half our income. "
Then we worked out the average monthly expenditures that could be included under pleasure.
Some of these items were pretty high. They will seem higher to a Westerner than to a New Yorker. Fifty-five dollars for theater tickets means between three and five shows a month, depending on the type of show and how long it's been running. Football games are also included in this, as well as ringside seats to the Dempsey-Firpo fight. As for the amount marked "restaurant parties"--$70 would perhaps take three couples to a popular after-theater cabaret--but it would be a close shave.
We added the items marked "pleasure" to the items marked "household expenses, " and obtained a monthly total.
"Fine," I said. "Just $3,000. Now at least we'll know where to cut down, because we know where it goes."
She frowned; then a puzzled, awed expression passed over her face.
"What's the matter?" I demanded. "Isn't it all right? Are some of the items wrong?"
"It isn't the items," she said staggeringly; "it's the total. This only adds up to $2,000 a month."
I was incredulous, but she nodded.
"But listen," I protested; "my bank statements show that we've spent $3,000 a month. You don't mean to say that every month we lose $1,000 dollars?"
"This only adds up to $2,000, " she protested, "so we must have."
"Give me the pencil."
For an hour I worked over the accounts in silence, but to no avail.
"Why, this is impossible!" I insisted. "People don't lose $12,000 in a year. It's just--it's just missing. "
There was a ring at the doorbell and I walked over to answer it, still dazed by these figures. It was the Banklands, our neighbors from over the way.
"Good heavens!" I announced. "We've just lost $12,000!"
Bankland stepped back alertly.
"Burglars?" he inquired.
"Ghosts," answered my wife.
Mrs. Bankland looked nervously around.
"Really?"
We explained the situation, the mysterious third of our income that had vanished into thin air.
"Well, what we do," said Mrs. Bankland, "is, we have a budget."
"We have a budget," agreed Bankland, "and we stick absolutely to it. If the skies fall we don't go over any item of that budget. That's the only way to live sensibly and save money."
"That's what we ought to do," I agreed.
Mrs. Bankland nodded enthusiastically.
"It's a wonderful scheme," she went on. "We make a certain deposit every month, and all I save on it I can have for myself to do anything I want with."
I could see that my own wife was visibly excited.
"That's what I want to do," she broke out suddenly. "Have a budget. Everybody does it that has any sense."
"I pity anyone that doesn't use that system, " said Bankland solemnly. "Think of the inducement to economy--the extra money my wife'll have for clothes."
"How much have you saved so far?" my wife inquired eagerly of Mrs. Bankland.
"So far?" repeated Mrs. Bankland. "Oh, I haven't had a chance so far. You see we only began the system yesterday."
"Yesterday!" we cried.
"Just yesterday," agreed Bankland darkly. "But I wish to heaven I'd started it a year ago. I've been working over our accounts all week, and do you know, Fitzgerald, every month there's $2, 000 I can't account for to save my soul."
Headed Toward Easy Street
Our financial troubles are now over. We have permanently left the newly rich class and installed the budget system. It is simple and sensible, and I can explain it to you in a few words. You consider your income as an enormous pie all cut up into slices, each slice representing one class of expenses. Somebody has worked it all out; so you know just what proportion of your income you can spend on each slice. There is even a slice for founding universities, if you go in for that.
For instance, the amount you spend on the theater should be half your drug-store bill. This will enable us to see one play every five and a half months, or two and a half plays a year. We have already picked out the first one, but if it isn't running five and a half months from now we shall be that much ahead. Our allowance for newspapers should be only a quarter of what we spend on self-improvement, so we are considering whether to get the Sunday paper once a month or to subscribe for an almanac.
According to the budget we will be allowed only three-quarters of a servant, so we are on the lookout for a one-legged cook who can come six days a week. And apparently the author of the budget book lives in a town where you can still go to the movies for a nickel and get a shave for a dime. But we are going to give up the expenditure called "Foreign missions, etc., " and apply it to the life of crime instead. Altogether, outside of the fact that there is no slice allowed for "missing" it seems to be a very complete book, and according to the testimonials in the back, if we make $36,000 again this year, the chances are that we'll save at least $35,000.
"But we can't get any of that first $36,000 back," I complained around the house. "If we just had something to show for it I wouldn't feel so absurd."
My wife thought a long while.
"The only thing you can do, " she said finally, "is to write a magazine article and call it How to Live on $36, 000 a Year."
"What a silly suggestion!" I replied coldly.

Q: How to insert the missing months from an array in Laravel? I have here a query that I have returns status for each months when I try to use dd($attr['month']) this will return an array of this but as what I've checked it seems that it has some missing months.
private function getSummaryData($seller)
{
    $query = json_decode(json_encode(DB::select(DB::raw("select user_id,
    DATE_FORMAT(created_at, '%b %Y') ym,
    sum(IF(status='pending', 1, 0)) status_pending,
    sum(IF(status='success', 1, 0)) status_success
    FROM `case_summaries`
    WHERE user_id= " . $user->user->user_id . "
    GROUP BY DATE_FORMAT(created_at, '%b %Y')
    ORDER BY created_at asc "))), true);

    $attr = [];
    $attr['month'] = [];
    $attr['pending'] = [];
    $attr['success'] = [];

    foreach ($query as $key => $value) {
        array_push($attr['month'], $value['ym']);
        array_push($attr['pending'], $value['status_pending']);
        array_push($attr['success'], $value['status_success']);
    }

    dd($attr['month']);

    return $attr;
}

Result of Array for $attr['month']
^ array:24 [
  0 => "Feb 2018"
  1 => "Mar 2018"
  2 => "Apr 2018"
  3 => "May 2018"
  4 => "Jun 2018"
  5 => "Jul 2018"
  6 => "Aug 2018"
  7 => "Sep 2018"
  8 => "Oct 2018"
  9 => "Nov 2018"
  10 => "Dec 2018"
  11 => "Jan 2019"
  12 => "Feb 2019"
  13 => "Mar 2019"
  14 => "Apr 2019"
  15 => "May 2019"
  16 => "Jul 2019"
  17 => "Aug 2019"
  18 => "Sep 2019"
  19 => "Oct 2019"
  20 => "Nov 2019"
  21 => "Dec 2019"
  22 => "Jan 2020"
  23 => "Mar 2020"
]

As you can see here that it has a missing month which is Jun 2019. How I can I add the missing months of the query?
I have this function here that getting all months between 2 dates
public function getMonthListFromDate(Carbon $date)
{
    $start    = new DateTime(); // Today date
    $end      = new DateTime($date->toDateTimeString()); // Create a datetime object from your Carbon object
    $interval = DateInterval::createFromDateString('1 month'); // 1 month interval
    $period   = new DatePeriod($start, $interval, $end); // Get a set of date beetween the 2 period
    $months = array();
    foreach ($period as $dt) {
        $months[] = $dt->format("F Y");
    }
    return $months;
}

I'm having trouble here on how to implement this using foreach loop in my function getSummaryData() and then checks if($attr['month'] == getMonthListFromDate()). How can I add those missing months when passing them to my query?

A: I think if your query data is not as required then you can generate complete array as per your requirements like

$months = [
    'Feb 2018',
    'Mar 2020',
];
$start_date = \Carbon\Carbon::parse($months[0]);
$end_date = \Carbon\Carbon::parse($months[array_key_last($months)]);

$months_diff = $start_date->diffInMonths($end_date);

if (count($months) != $months_diff) {
    $months = [$months[0]];
    $add_month = $start_date->addMonth();
    while ($add_month->lessThan($end_date)) {
        $months[] = $add_month->format('M Y');
        $add_month->addMonth();
    }
}

Knowledge, Truth and Human Action: America Hits the Wall
Subject: Knowledge, Truth and Human Action: America Hits the Wall Tue 18 May 2010, 10:49 am
By John Kozy
Global Research, May 16, 2010
"Believe nothing just because a so-called wise person said it. Believe nothing just because a belief is generally held. Believe nothing just because it is said in ancient books. Believe nothing just because it is said to be of divine origin. Believe nothing just because someone else believes it. Believe only what you yourself test and judge to be true." [paraphrased Buddhist saying]
Americans have a problem with the truth. They seem to be unable to accept it, which is difficult to understand at a time in history when knowledge plays a larger and larger role in determining human action. Recognition of this problem is widespread. Beliefs and lies somehow always overwhelm truth, even when they are so contradictory that any effective action becomes impossible. A kind of national, psychological paralysis occurs. Nothing can be done because one belief contradicts another, and for some unknown reason, the facts don't matter. Even during those times when an overwhelming belief does compel action, Americans rush headlong into it neglecting the adage that headlong often means wrong.
The number of programs enacted by the Congress that don't work is huge. The war on drugs which began in 1969 has shown no measurable results; yet it continues unabated and has resulted in destabilizing other nations, especially Mexico. Various immigration reforms have proven so ineffective that the people are turning to their own solutions. Tough on crime programs have been enacted numerous times without any measurable reduction in criminal behavior. Educational reforms have proven to be illusionary. Inconclusive wars have been and continue to be fought. No one, it appears, ever wants to measure anything by its results. The nation continues to do the same things over and over again expecting different results, an activity Einstein described as insanity.
Paul Craig Roberts writes, "Today Americans are ruled by propaganda. Americans have little regard for truth, little access to it, and little ability to recognize it. Truth is an unwelcome entity. It is disturbing. It is off limits. Those who speak it run the risk of being branded 'anti-American,' 'anti-semite' or 'conspiracy theorist.' Truth is an inconvenience for government and for the interest groups whose campaign contributions control government. Truth is an inconvenience for prosecutors who want convictions, not the discovery of innocence or guilt. Truth is inconvenient for ideologues." Unfortunately he casts the blame on the characters of people: "economists sell their souls for filthy lucre. . . . medical doctors who, for money, have published in peer-reviewed journals concocted 'studies' that hype this or that new medicine produced by pharmaceutical companies that paid for the 'studies. . . .' Wherever one looks, truth has fallen to money."
Honoré de Balzac said, "behind every great fortune lies a great crime." So too, behind every dumb practice lies a dumb idea.
This debasement of truth stems from two misguided beliefs that many Americans hold. They affect much of American society and define the American psyche. One belief is that the truth emerges from a debate between adversaries. The other is the belief that everyone has a right to his/her own opinion.
Many American activities are based on the these beliefs. In law, the system is called adversarial. The prosecutor and defense attorneys are adversaries. Each side presents its evidence and the truth is somehow supposed to emerge. In journalism it is called balance. Two adversaries are asked to give their sides of an issue, and the truth is somehow supposed to emerge. In politics, it is called the two party system, where the majority party and the minority party, often called the opposition, are adversaries who present their sides of the issue. Again, somehow it is believed the truth will emerge and effective legislation will then be enacted. But it doesn't work, never has, never will.
Suppose two people who lived in the same community at a specific time in the past are talking about the weather on February 14th of some year. One says, "We had three inches of snow that day." The other says, "No, we had heavy rain and flash flood warnings." Who is right? Unless someone checks the weather bureau's records, the argument can't be resolved. And what if the weather bureau's records show that the weather on that day was clear with no precipitation? Neither adversary is right; the truth never emerges.
So do these adversaries have the right to their own opinions? The belief that everyone has a right to his/her own opinion is ludicrous. If your bank sends you a notice saying that you've overdrawn your account, can you counter with, "Not in my opinion"? If this maxim had any validity, truth and falsehood would have equal value. No dispute could ever be settled because the facts don't matter. Yet many in America seem to hold this view.
The point is that no debate between adversaries will reveal the truth if neither is willing to check the facts, or as is often the case in politics, just lying. But why would adversaries do that? In a legal action, because both sides want to win and will reveal only what is favorable to their sides. "As everybody knows, at least one of the lawyers in every case in which the facts are in dispute is out to hide or distort the truth or part of the truth, not to help the court discover it. . . . The notion that in a clash between two trained principle-wielders, one of whom is wearing the colors of inaccuracy and falsehood, the truth will always or usually prevail is in essence nothing but a hang-over from the medieval custom of trial by battle and is in essence equally absurd."
Peter Murphy in his Practical Guide to Evidence cites this story (likely apocryphal): A frustrated judge in an English adversarial court, after witnesses had produced conflicting accounts, finally asked a barrister, "Am I never to hear the truth?" "No, my lord, replied counsel, merely the evidence."
In politics, each side has a favored constituency to protect. In journalism, the journalist doesn't want to be accused of bias. In 2006, Dan Froomkin, former columnist at the Washington Post, wrote, "There's the fear of being labeled partisan. . . ." But that fear would be dispelled if journalists checked the facts.
Listening to politicians or pundits debate issues should prompt listeners to ask, "Am I never to hear the truth?" The answer would always the same, "No, just our opinions." Yet basing public policy on the opinions of journalists, pundits, politicians, and even jurists is a hazardous endeavor. Since everyone has a right to his/her own opinion, why should anyone care about the opinions of others? None of us should, but somehow the establishment believes we do.
Consider so called experts, for example. Can two "experts," each with different points of view really be experts? "Expert" economists contradict each other all the time. One "thinks" this and another "thinks" that, but neither "knows" anything. Writing teachers routinely tell students, "Don't tell me what you think. Tell me what you know." Apparently our economists never studied composition. Harry Truman once said, "If you took all the economists in the world and laid them end to end, they'd still point in different directions!" Right up until the economic crash of 2007, experts were telling us that "the economic fundamentals were sound." After the crash occurred, the logical thing to do would have been to conclude that the fundamental economic indicators were misleading at best and shouldn't be relied upon. Yet three years hence, economists are still basing their conclusions (estimates, opinions) on the same fundamental economic indicators. But suppose a chef had an oven that consistently undercooked his baking. Would s/he continue to rely on the thermostat's readings or would s/he replace it? How can such people be considered experts? Nevertheless they are.
Republican politicians, political consultants, and political commentators are fond of saying that Social Security was never meant to serve as a retirement program but only as a supplement. Ed Rollins made this claim on CNN even though the claim can't possibly be true, not even in one's wildest imagination, and Ed Rollins and others should know it. Social Security was signed into law in 1935, but in the 1930s, fewer than 25 percent of workers were covered by private pension plans. So exactly what was Social Security supposed to supplement? Only the pension plans of this 25 percent of workers? What about the 75 percent of workers not covered by private plans? Social Security certainly applied to them too, but they had no private plans to supplement. Even by 1960, only about 30 percent of the labor force had private pension plans, which means that 70 percent had no plans to supplement, and 1960 was a good year. Surely, in the 1930s Social Security was not meant to supplement personal savings, since there were hardly any, and IRAs were not authorized until 1974.Yet Ed Rollins, politicians, and political consultants are still considered "experts." No interviewing journalist ever questions their veracity even when all s/he would have to do is look up some facts.
Military officers, especially generals, are often cited as experts. But for every general who wins a battle there is another on the other side who loses. Is the losing general an expert too? And what general, facing a upcoming battle would have the integrity to say he can't win it?
By calling people with opinions experts and relying on adversarial debate between them, not only is the language debased, so is thought. Conclusions drawn from false premises are always false. Just as something cannot be created from nothing, truth cannot be revealed by falsehood. Belief never yields knowledge, but questioning belief often does.
Public policy based on mere beliefs or opinions sooner or later crashes headlong into the wall of reality causing disastrous consequences, for in the end, the truth cannot be denied. "Trust, but verify," a phrase often used by Ronald Reagan when discussing relations with the Soviet Union is a translation of the Russian proverb Доверяй, но проверяй. Perhaps better maxims would be, "Reject when suspect" and "Belief brings grief." Yet the fundamental question that goes unanswered is why so many people continue to trust all those "experts" who have shown themselves to be inveterate liars? Has the populace really become that dumb? If the truth is emancipating, the false is enslaving. Indeed Americans are serfs ruled by an oligarchy devoted to the promotion of dumb ideas.

Great read, thanks for posting that.

Q: \marginpar with options I was trying to understand what Leslie Lamport said in his book about \marginpar options.  He says that

... \marginpar[$\Rightarrow$]{$\Leftarrow$} makes an arrow that points towards the text, whichever margin the note appears in.  (Page 59)

I am not sure what he meant by "text".  I was hoping that it is the non-marginal text and the arrow would appear in the margin before the margin text.  The following is an experiment to test this hypothesis.
\documentclass[11pt]{article}
\usepackage[margin=2in]{geometry}

\begin{document}
This is normal text.%
\marginpar{\em This is a marginal note.}

\vspace{100pt}
This is normal text.%
\marginpar[$\Rightarrow$]{$\Leftarrow$}{\em This is a marginal note.}
\end{document}

As you can see the hypothesis is false.

Is it possible to make the arrow followed by the marginal note appear in the margin?
EDIT: Apparently, I did not make myself clear in my first attempt.  As you can see in the second example (\marginpar with options) the marginal text (in italic) which is supposed to be in the margin is not in the margin anymore.  What I was hoping to see is the following.

If this is not what the options for \Marginpar are there for, then I do not see why I need these options.

A: What that meant was that in two-sided layouts, marginal text will change sides depending on whether the page is even or odd – and the optional argument to \marginpar will make it set different text in each case. A more full example would be:
\documentclass{book}

\begin{document}
Odd page\marginpar[$\Rightarrow$]{$\Leftarrow$}
\clearpage
Even page\marginpar[$\Rightarrow$]{$\Leftarrow$}
\end{document}

On an odd page, it sets $\Leftarrow$ in the margin. On an even page, it sets $\Rightarrow$. So the arrow is always pointing toward the body text.
To get an arrow pointing toward the margin note, just say:
\marginpar{$\Rightarrow$ Some text}

Or for an arrow that always points from the body to the margin:
\marginpar[Some text$\Leftarrow$]{$\Rightarrow$ Some text}

A: lamport didn't say anything about additional text when using the arrows. what he did say is that if you use the option, that's what goes on the odd page instead of what's in the required argument. each argument must be complete with what you want in that margin.


Shroud of the Avatar has been reviewed by the RPG Codex.
On the outside, the first thing a player is bound to notice is what is customarily called a "technical mess". The game's framerate is abysmal, often dropping down to 20-30 FPS in city areas on my I7-4790k with Geforce 980 GTX, a machine that is no longer top of the line as I write this review, but is strong enough to get 60 FPS in games that look much better than Shroud of the Avatar. It becomes even more incomprehensible when you try to analyze what's killing the game's performance. In the busy scenes that trigger the slowdowns, I tried setting the graphics quality to low and there was absolutely no improvement. Meaning the bottleneck was my CPU, which is astonishing considering nothing much happens in the game physics-wise (can I even say nothing at all? I'm not even sure I ever saw basic gravity effects), and in terms of AI the NPCs only need to do some pretty basic pathfinding (and that's only a very small number of them) and follow simple scripts (far from the Ultima VII-style living world that we were promised). I think it may have something to do with the scene being large, and the CPU needing to take care of objects that are extremely far away because of poor optimization?
Who cares! This game is an unoptimized mess. And I'm not sure they'll ever be able to fix it, considering people were complaining about performance years before it launched. Portalarium are clearly aware of the problem - that they do not address it says a lot about what you can expect from the game in the future. Release 54 supposedly featured numerous speed improvements, which went entirely unnoticed by me and even worse, introduced a new bug that made the game ignore my resolution settings, resetting it to 1080p during map transitions. Thanks for that.
But is it pretty, at least?
Game is still terrible, sadly.
The one and only kick starter that I truly regret sponsoring. I actually feel ashamed that I gave money to this, and then I remind myself that the shame is theirs, and always will be. I still wonder if a single player game will ever exist out of the huge mess that this thing is.
I'm still positive about Kickstarter, and have enjoyed many games I helped to crowdfund. I have had one officially cancelled project, one that is more or less a tech demo with little promise of being finished, and another in Limbo with no end in sight, and even a few finished ones that I didn't find much enjoyment in. I have gotten more pleasure from Shroud of the Avatar, a game I did not back than any of these. Granted its not from the game itself, but from the utter absurdity of everything surrounding it, the long and amusing threads I have read over the years, and even this review, which I found a bit overly long, but I read it through anyway. Still I am sad for all of the true Ultima fans out there. Just as I yearn for the rebirth of Might and Magic or Vampire:Bloodlines, I can truly understand your anguish. Maybe someday, someone with talent and credibility will make a worthy testament to this series.
I still wonder if a single player game will ever exist out of the huge mess that this thing is.
I appreciate how you feel Carnifex and I mean it in a nicest possible way but that's just a gamer's equivalent of "Sunk Cost Fallacy". Just forget about it. Or try to.
Well….pretty much what I said two years ago.
They have fired half their staff now…it's only a matter of time until this is totally finished.
And even though it has supposedly been released - no sign of any of the physical rewards. I'm kind of hoping they send those out before they go bankrupt.
Turns out Lord British was like Shakespeare? Other team members were responsible for much of his fame & success in the Ultima Era?
Well, if the guy from the Codex review couldn't get the town he payed for 3 years ago what are your chances?
I'll give my opinion on Sota since I' ve played a lot and actually enjoy the game for what it is.
The RPGcodex review has a few factual problems, but makes a lot of good points. Truth of the matter is, this is a niche game and I don't think it will ever have a wide audience. It tries to be too many things at once without succeeding in any of them. The biggest design decison error they made is having it be a 'selectively multiplayer game'. They should have gone all in multiplayer or singleplayer. It make a crappy single player game. But I actually do like the quest in multiplayer mode (even though its still rough around the edges and buggy as hell).
The virtue system is not working well at the moment. Your virtue has almost zero effect on the world around you. PvP is not fun in the game right now. They are implementing new PvP features in the next months, we'll see how it goes. Then there is the sandbox aspect of the game which is it's best feature if you want my opinion. But the game was not kickstarted on this aspect, so a lot of people are not getting the game they expected , and are disappointed or mad (and rightly so).
A misconception of this game is that you need to spend a ton of money to enjoy the game. You actually don't have to spend any money aside from the price of the game. I know a lot of people who have houses in game and haven t spent anything more than the base price for the game. You can craft a ton of items, and some of the items you can craft are better than what they have in the addon store. You can craft your own house if you want. You can buy everything in the addon store from vendors ingame. So no, you don't have to spend a lot of money. What you do have to spend is time, a lot of it. And for people looking for a single player game, this is not it. For people looking for a traditional MMO, this is not it. For people looking for a contemporary mmo with all the bells and whistles, this is not it either. Where does this game fit? I can't really say , and that is the problem. But I still have fun with it, hope it will continue to evolve and get better. I'm pretty sure that given the time, the devs will succeeed, but as the RPGcodex review says, they may be running out of time.

I've tried getting into it several times.
There are two primary issues that keep me from enjoying my time with it.
The first is the utterly terrible performance of the game. The second is the utterly terrible combat.
I have this feeling that there's a ton of content to enjoy - and I really like the "Dungeon Lords" old-school quirky charm it has going for it, but I really don't know how they expect people to get over those two things - considering how integral to the experience they are.
The combat actually grew on me and I like it now. The whole combat system has it's issues though. The devs made the decision that there would be no cap on skills, so you can basically train anything you want . So there is no specialization (even though they introduced specialization skills).
IMO this game is primarily a social game. You have to interact with the world and other players to enjoy it's full potential. It is foremost a social rpg and a sandbox game. You have to meet people in game to enjoy it (join a guild). You have to enjoy the content created by other players . If you look carefully, there are some player created quests which are pretty fun. There is a 'new feature' where you can look for a group to join in quests or kill monsters. It's been implemented a few releases back (I know can't believe it took them that much time to add this basic feature). But it can be a good way to meet people. The community is also very open and helpful. But again, it all depends what you are looking for. If you want primarily a good single player experience, this is not the game for you.

You are here Home » Introducing the LOL PCS: Everything You Need To Know About This Region!
The League of Legends Pacific Championship Series (LoL PCS) is one of the intermediate regions in the world and is often debated as the Top 4 region with its spot being contested by North America's LCS region. With the PCS being almost invisible in international media and social media as well as their schedule being almost inaccessible for western fans, the PCS is a region that's not always in the conversation so people might not know what they have to offer to the competition.
About the LoL PCS
The LoL PCS region is the combined league of the former League of Legends SEA Tour and League of Legends Masters Series (LMS), which aimed to increase the competitiveness of the region. The countries that comprise the current LoL PCS structure are Taiwan, Hong Kong, Macau, Singapore, Thailand, the Philippines, and Malaysia. Like most other regions, the PCS also houses 10 competitive teams representing the countries that are involved in this league following the standard LoL esports structure.
The Top 5 Plays from the LoL PCS Summer Split Week 1
The PCS is one of the strongest regions in the world right now. In an era of Eastern LoL Dominance led by China and Korea, the PCS also trails behind this path as a region that the major western teams definitely need to look out for. In the recent MSI 2021, the PCS placed 3rd/4th as their representative – PSG Talon – managed to make the Top 4 cut and managed to take one game off the eventual champions, Royal Never Give Up, in the Semifinals before losing the tournament.
The History of the PCS
The PCS doesn't have much history since it was established in 2020. Since this league was established at the height of the Covid-19 Pandemic, they don't have much of an international presence since MSI 2020 was canceled. One thing about PCS's history is that they always seem to send teams that have experienced problems regarding their rosters due to health or Visa issues. This has been the case for PSG Talon in both Worlds 2020 and MSI 2021 with their rosters always being incomplete.
Before the PCS, the LMS-side of this league has always been a competitor at the international scene. Hongkong, Taiwan, and Macau teams have always shown dominance, especially during the Mid-Season Invitationals with their teams almost always reaching the Top 4 spot. Even though they've shown a poor performance during the past few Worlds Tournaments, teams like Flash Wolves have been remembered for having innovative strategies that highlighted what the region can do.
LoL PCS in 2021
Despite having an underwhelming performance in 2020, the region has definitely looked a lot better in 2021. This region even looks like it's performing as well as regions like the LEC thanks to PSG Talon's massive improvement as a League of Legends organization. This team is looking like it will be a top competitor in the international scene and won't just be another filler region that's there before eventual China vs Korea tournament that we've been seeing recently.
We can expect this region to do well at Worlds so watching games from this region will prove to be entertaining in a competitive sense and not just like the memeable way that North America and Oceania perform in tournaments. PSG Talon isn't just the only strong team in the tournament since the region has also been developing teams like Machi Esports and Beyond Gaming. PCS has two slots in the tournament so we can expect 2 of these 3 teams making it to Worlds.
Notable Players in the PCS
There are only a few notable players in this league since the region merged into the PCS. The most notable players in this region are probably from the notorious Flash Wolves 2015 roster that made their name in history as one of the greater non-LCK/LPL Asian teams in the world. Let's take a look at some of the names that most veteran viewers are very familiar with and new fans around the world should know about to know the richness of the history of this region.
1. Maple
Maple is PSG Talon's mid laner and has made his grand return from the LPL. He has become the centerpiece that made PSG Talon so dominant in 2021 and has definitely picked up some things while competing in China against the strongest teams in the world. In both the Spring and Summer seasons of the LoL PCS, PSG Talon has gone almost undefeated showing a really strong performance in terms of their mid-jungle duo that is miles ahead of anyone else in the region.
The veteran mid lane
PSG Maple is probably one of the Top 10 Mid Laners in the entire world today. In an era where the Chinese and Korean mid laners dominate the tournaments, it's refreshing to see that someone from another region can make it at the top. It's always a treat to watch Maple in the mid lane since he has a really wide champion pool. He is also one of the notable members of the 2015 Flash Wolves that shook the world to its core and introduced a region outside of the Major Regions.
2. Hanabi
Hanabi is another former Flash Wolves member but he isn't a member of the 2015 roster. However, he has been one of the most dominant members of Flash Wolves after that era with this man being able to carry the team or play a weakside lane that opened opportunities for his team. He doesn't make the most flashy plays that League of Legends viewers want to watch in an esports game but his contributions to the team are absolutely undeniable.
The developing Top Laner
In MSI 2021, Hanabi retained stability in his lane as a weakside top laner even though his entire team would get gapped by the top-performing teams. In the PCS, Hanabi has been developing his skills outside of the weakside so that his teamfighting and aggressive roaming will be able to find the team more success in the international scene. We should expect more from him if PSG Talon manages to make it to the World Stage when they finally face the top teams.
3. Doggo
Doggo made his appearance in MSI 2021 as a substitute for PSG Talon's Unified. Despite being loaned from another team, Doggo managed to perform really well in the bottom lane with Kaiwing that made people wonder if they made a mistake to allow this substitute to happen. While a lot of PSG fans argue that the team might have placed higher if Unified had made it to the tournament, it's still true that Doggo brought a lot to the table during the tournament.
The young AD Carry
Doggo currently plays for Beyond Gaming, a candidate for one of the two spots that the LoL PCS has for Worlds 2021. Their team isn't as dominant as PSG Talon but they are still a world-class roster that can definitely take a few games at the Group Stage at least. Former LEC caster Ender once praised Doggo for being so amazing at the tournament that he claimed to be his #1 Fan. Doggo would also reply to Ender's statement wholesomely thanking him for the support.
4. Unified
Unified is PSG Talon's main ADC but due to health and Visa reasons, he skipped MSI 2021 and a portion of Worlds 2021. Alongside Kaiwing, they are the best bot lane duo in the LoL PCS so much that no one else can definitely come close to their level. Unified looks really serious whenever the camera pans to him which may hint towards this person's attitude towards the game as he's obviously dedicated to always improving his plays at the game to eventually bring home the trophy back to their region again someday.
The determined carry
There's no doubt that PSG Talon will attend Worlds 2021 again this year but the attendance of Unified at Worlds is in question again. We hope that he won't encounter any more issues this tournament so that he can show the world what he can do for the team. Maybe this man can help the region reach the Worlds Knockout Stage after years of not being able to do so. If there's anyone who can do it, it's definitely Unified.
Notable Teams in the PCS
Despite merging with the Garena SEA regions, the LMS teams still look like the superstars that are miles ahead in terms of skill level when compared to the other teams. Despite that, some of the SEA teams are trying to keep up with the rest of the region to prove that they also deserve the spot given to them after the merge. The LoL PCS has 10 teams in the league, so let's take a look at the Top 3 teams we think will be able to make it to the World Finals tournament this year.
1. PSG Talon
PSG Talon is the flagship team of the PCS and has an almost undefeated record in 2021. There is no doubt in the region that this team will make it to the World Finals unless they suddenly drop the quality of performance during the playoffs. There's a good chance that they'll also place 1st in the Round Robin since it doesn't look like any other team is even approaching the individual level that the players have in this team alongside the incredible teamwork that they display.
The best team in the PCS!
The playstyle of PSG Talon in the LoL PCS is overall domination. They win their lanes, teamfights, and secure every objective that they can lay their hands on. It honestly feels like a top LPL team playing in a minor region at this point. We hope that the other teams provide enough competition for PSG Talon so that they can improve their performance in preparation for their time at the World Stage so that they'll at least reach the Knockout Stage.
2. Beyond Gaming
Beyond Gaming is next up on the standings and is the 2nd favorite to make it to the World Finals alongside PSG Talon. Their roster isn't as well-known as that of PSG Talon but they are making a name for themselves as the main competition for their rivals. As mentioned previously, this is Doggo's team which means that they have a really strong bottom lane that is mostly responsible for most of their wins in the Pacific Championship Series.
The best part about Beyond Gaming is that they are an entirely new team that no one probably knows about. Teams like Invictus Gaming and Funplus Phoenix were unknown teams that nobody really thought about until they suddenly made Finals and started spanking the European teams 3-0. While we're not saying that Beyond Gaming will be the next team that will take home the title of champion, we're positive that the LoL PCS will give out a performance that will surprise everybody.
3. Machi Esports
Machi Esports has been making appearances at the Worlds Finals for the past few years but has shown poor standings in both the Group Stage and even in the Play-ins. This year they're looking to redeem themselves by putting up a fight against the best in the world. With the improved competition in the LoL PCS, Machi Esports look a bit revitalized with their new roster featuring their new mid laner – JimieN – making a groundbreaking appearance in the region.
Is the LoL PCS a Major Region?
The League of Legends Pacific Championship Series is considered an Intermediate Region which is in-between a Major Region and Wildcard Region. This means that they have an ensured seed at the Worlds Group Stage but only receive two slots with the other one competing at the Play-In stage. The PCS and VCS (Vietnam) both hold this status.
Who is the best team in the PCS?
PSG Talon is miles ahead of the competition in the PCS. They are looking like an unstoppable force that is set on to prove that the PCS isn't a region that other people should be looking down upon. This team is a contender for the Worlds 2021 Trophy.

A decent action movie marred by an overly critical fan base, an irresponsible studio and director, and a broad shadow cast by its predecesors.
27 January 2005 | by kgb383 – See all my reviews
Okay, so this isn't Alien or Predator. Did any of you really think it would be? Seriously, now. Let's get some perspective here. There will never be another Alien, or Aliens, or even Predator. What a lot of your die-hard fans fail to recognize is that this movie CAN'T be those films.
If they made it like Alien, namely much suspense and very little alien, we would have people balking at how it copies Alien or how you never see the aliens. If they made it like Predator or Aliens, namely with a lot of heavily armed guys blasting creatures down right and left, we would get people complaining and comparing it to those movies.
AvP is a movie that can never be as good as the films that came before it, for many reasons. First, and most obviously, it has some mighty big shoes to fill. It would be quite difficult to make a new Alien/Predator movie that could hold its own against the films that have come before, let alone one-up them in any meaningful way.
It also has an overbearing fan base that was way, WAAAAAY too demanding, a studio that is more concerned with raking in dollars than making sure they have a good and faithful movie, and a director that prefers to blame everyone but himself for his own mistakes.
Beyond all that, however, one must recognize the general malaise that weighs heavily on the Alien franchise. The bitter truth is that with each new Alien sequel that comes out, it becomes increasingly difficult for writers and directors to make new and exciting Alien movies. I mean, how many times can you see a face hugger scurry across the floor after a guy, or an Alien drone creep out of the darkness, or a queen rise 20 feet over some hapless victim? After 5 films, this is all old hat.
I give credit to AvP for at least maintaining the entertainment value of these Alien standards with some very well done special effects. Who cares if it's CGI? For all those who were so angry at AvP's CGI, you need a dose of reality. There is never going to be a non-CGI Alien or Predator movie again. Period. CGI is here to stay. Deal with it. At least they took the time to make AvP's CGI as authentic as they could.
Truth be told, AvP is a decent movie. It isn't the best Alien or Predator movie, and it isn't the worst. Beyond all the fake history and the screaming human victims, there were enough entertaining moments between the Preds and Aliens to prove that there is potential here for a great movie franchise.
All they need is for Fox to leave the film-making to the filmmakers, an extra 30 minutes, and an R rating........
.......and Bill Paxton.

Q: Changing hidden inherited attributes in python I have a child class where I wish to overwrite an attribute from the parent class. The problem is this attribute is wrapped in a getter, and so to change it I have to access an underscored variable - hence breaking the "underscore => private" convention in Python. Minimal working example below.
class A:
    _x = "AxA"

    @property
    def x(self):
        return self._x

class B(A):
    _x = "BxB"  # seems non-pythonic

if __name__=="__main__":
    b = B()
    print(b.x)  # prints "BxB"

To be clear the above code works, it just doesn't seem very pythonic. Is there a better way to implement the above?

A: The attribute you want to override is x, so override x:
class B(A):
    @property
    def x(self):
        return "BxB"

When it comes to the Greek Islands, everywhere you turn there's a stunning hotel. The island of Crete is no different, and hotels in Crete vary from the simple self-catering affair for an adventurous holiday, all the way up to a 5-star all-inclusive resort with an infinity pool and cocktails on tap.
The largest of all the Greek Islands and the most southern, Crete has a wealth of hotels to offer which provide a base to explore this diverse island. With over 5,000 years of history, endless glittering coastlines and a gorgeous mountainous interior, we're not sure why you haven't booked a Crete hotel yet.
Each resort in Crete offers something different. The hotels will usually match the atmosphere of their surroundings. For example, for family holidays and hotels in Crete, we recommend Chania or Hersonissos. For groups of friends looking to party, it's absolutely Malia, where you can get a late-deal self-catering hotel for an extremely affordable cost. For all-inclusive exclusivity and a generous helping of romance, the resorts of Elounda, Aghios Nikolaos and Agia Pelagia all offer something for even the most discerning couples.
So whether your looking for something simple, or you would prefer an all-inclusive hotel in Crete, loveholidays can help you book that dream escape.
Looking for a flight and hotel? Then check out our holidays in Crete here.
The average flight time to Crete from the UK is 3 hours 40 minutes.
As Crete is the biggest of all the Greek Islands, it does come with a lot of resorts to choose from. Depending on what type of holiday you're looking for and who you're travelling with, then you can really narrow down on which resort you should visit. Once you have made up your mind on a resort, perhaps then you will definitely be able to narrow down on your choice of a Crete hotel.
Crete has some amazing things to do. If you're a history buff and interested in Ancient Greece, it is worth making a trip to Crete. With plenty of archaeological sites, you will be enthralled by the ancient civilisations that had made their way here in the past. Of course, Crete is known for its beaches too, especially its crystal clear waters. In fact, it is meant to be the best waters in the Mediterranean, and we can't argue with that!

Charles I: King and Collector
Exhibition at the Royal Academy
Charles I memorial skull ring, English, circa 1650.
The current exhibition at the Royal Academy 'Charles I: King and Collector' running until 15th April showcases the largest reunion of the masterpieces that belonged to King Charles I's collection, which range from Renaissance and Baroque, portraits, monumental tapestries and miniatures.
Charles I was the second son of James VI of Scotland and he became the second Stuart King in 1625. His passion for art developed before he became the king. In 1623, Charles went to Madrid to court his former fiancée Maria Anna who was the daughter of King Phillip III of Spain. During his visit, Charles had the opportunity to see the magnificent art collection of the Spanish court.
Although the engagement was broken off by the English Protestants, it was during this time that the future king's passion for artwork started to grow. As a result, Charles I came back to Britain without a bride but numbers of impressive paintings by the Renaissance master painters!
Within twenty years, Charles I had acquired nearly 2000 pieces of artwork, from the Renaissance painters Titian, Mantegna, Holbein, Dürer to his favourite court artists Van Dyck and Rubens. The young king believed that artworks were an affirmation of his power, therefore, having the greatest art collection would prove that he is the rightful king.
Many of the portraits of Charles I from this exhibition portray the expression of authority. As a royalist, the king would dress in different outfits which were made up of luxurious fabric with precious jewels to show off his supremacy. Natural pearls, in particular, the scarcest gemstone, were the king's favourite. His signature jewellery was an impressive teardrop-shaped pearl earring, he often wore it to display his wealth and power and this can be seen in almost every single one of his portraits by Van Dyck and Rubens. Natural pearls have long been revered for their iridescent orient and lustre. It was believed that an exceptional size pearl was antidote to the king's lifetime concern – his short height.
In 1649, the king was executed due to his huge expenditure and his political beliefs. Commemorative jewels featuring Charles's portrait, lockets of his hair or blood soaked cloth were immediately produced and worn as symbol of allegiance to the Royalist cause. These items were worn in secret and hidden as it would have been dangerous to show allegiance during the Civil War.
As a king Charles I might have been unfit, however, he was certainly the most extraordinary art collector in history. Start collecting your own set of antique and vintage jewels today – each unique with a story to tell!
Natural pearl and diamond earrings, circa 1880.
Tudor enameled 'BEHOLD THE ENDE' skull ring, English, circa 17th century AD.
Post Medieval Sergeant-at-Law ring 'Long Live the King and the Law', circa 17th century
Stuart gold posy ring 'Liue holy and dye happy', circa 1600-1700 AD.

Just got in the mail today the Battle: LA Blu Ray disk. I've played through the included Resistance 3 demo. So what did I think of my time with the upcoming PS3 exclusive shooter?
To be honest, I'm not very impressed yet. The entire demo plays out on a boat with you playing as Capelli from the last game, riding along with Dr. Malikov. It's a very slow demo, with the boat slowly winding around a river. Your biggest opponent for the first 5 or so minutes are blocks of ice when the boat gets stuck on them. After that it finally picks up a bit, and you fight the familiar Grims and other old friends from Resistance 2.
I'm not one to usually bash a game for graphics, but the visuals on this seemed to take a step back from Resistance 2, which came out in 2008. The colors were severely muted, the resolution looked sub-HD, there appeared to be hardly any anti-aliasing, and there were blurry and pixelated textures everywhere. The lighting was also sub-par.
However, Insomiac head Ted Price tried to explain himself a bit about the complaints on the demo.
It's just a bit strange, as the pictures released quite a while ago for this game looked a hell of a lot better, as you can see in the comparison shots below.
