Critics Of "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" Blast New Film

When was Star Wars about character development? People should really re-watch the originals. The dialog is pretty simplistic. The Danish Girl this movie is not, nor has the franchise ever been. There are no complex acting moments within the entire Star Wars franchise that anyone can remember beyond, "I am Your Father," or "The Force is with you." The original movies really were about showcasing special effects and Jim Henson's work more than anything. Most of the character development happened in the books.
I think the originals did a decent job at it, no award winning drama levels or anything, but enough to make the characters interesting, it put enough emphasis on it to make them come to life.
I think movies in the 80s in general were a bit slower paced because of that. I wasn't asking for much, just more than a couple minutes before explosions started again.
Like the weird sudden infatuation between the main characters, like how the big shot pilot survived the crash and got to the base - around five seconds in a one liner was devoted to it, no joke, is this guy even important to the story?

New characters are all wimps and reflect the current generation of youth; everybody is a winner, and everybody is emo. They are all chicken shit and run at the first sign of danger and responsibility. Past generations ran into danger and wanted action. Something in the water today, this movie along with 21 jumpstreet demonstrated this new gay as aids culture.
The character development in the original movies took all three films to come together in anyway shape or form as there was so little of it in those movies. This one doesn't seem any different.

That massive bowcaster shot that hit Kylo directly in the abdomen likely handicapped him quite a bit, the part I felt a little more odd was the fact Kylo didn't deflect or otherwise to the blast, likely clouded by the emotional moment that occurred prior. Rey embraced the force, much like Luke in A New Hope when he fired the two torpedoes to hit a 2m exhaust port. For instance Luke when he was using the training droid on the Millennium Falcon in A New Hope when Luke wore the blaster helmet, once he let the force flow through him he deflected every shot while blinded. All she had to do was "Just let it in.". That being said, I draw a bigger comparison with Rey to Anakin than Luke. Much like Anakin knew he had skill/powers but didn't understand them, she just had to link the lore with her abilities, only she reluctantly took on the role as a Jedi as Luke did, where Anakin was all for it. I have a feeling Episode VIII will have the potential to be the best film of the series, I can't wait to see what Rian Johnson has in store for us.
Yes, definitely excited to see whats next. Your reply got me thinking about reversal in the final fight. Might have more to do with Kylo's hidden fear that he would not be as powerful as his uncle. That was more of a conflict than good vs evil. This could mean that Kylo is not the chosen one to lead the Sith, and he new that Luke was the key and i think he wanted to kill Luke so he would be the chosen, but with the introduction of Rey, he is starting to realize the he's just a pawn.

Only complaint was a Jedi trained Kylo-Ren getting his ass kicked by...
Spoiler: Lightsaber Duel(s)
I thought it was clear that all lightsaber-wielding characters in the movie had some experience (or training) with melee weapons.
When you think about the defensive position of the character you're talking about and how Jedi are supposed to fight the meditative combat scene makes sense. A Jedi lets the force flow through him! Kylo was also seriously injured prior to that fight.

I saw the first one a new hope in 1977 when ir first came out the new one really does play on nostalgia. That being said I gave it a 13 out of 10.......
Rey and Finn's characters were non believable. I don't blame the actors. They did what they could with what they were given.
The steaming pile of dung VII is the fault of JJ and the script writers. I still think JJ was a mistake. He couldn't direct his way out of a bag of dung
(Although it's not as bad as Episode I)

The new villian was an idiot. When he completes his training, he'll be a complete idiot.

Agreed, couldn't put it better myself.
Never go full retard. The new video did. Does not rate the title, nor being called a movie.
Darth Millennial as I refer to him among my friends.
DeathFromBelow said:
yeah, you can have "some" training, but Kylo was trained as a Jedi, and also trained by the dark lord Snoke. (probably Darth Plagueis). Instead of Rey being able to out duel him with a saber, it would have been easier for me to swallow, if was able to escape Kylo than defeating him. Kylos conflict with her ability to resist his mind penetration alone was enough to create an opening for her to escape. Thats why my favorite character was Fin, he stood his ground but got his ass kicked, As with Luke vs Vader, Anakin vs Dooku, training is needed to defeat a power Sith, and even that does not guarantee success, ie qui gon jinn vs darth maul. The only thing i will give, is that Rey did not fear Kylo once she realized his fear, and her connection to the force, that i will concede as a factor to her victory, although i dont like the exact outcome.

Force Awakens is a Good movie... not Great.
Probably #3 after Star Wars 4 and 5.
I had a problem with the treatment of the Millennium Falcon regarding JJ's sense of lose physics.
The way Han found the Millennium Falcon again and Han's cargo was ludicrous use of CGI.
A Star Trek Warp Field technobabble flashback moment when describing the StarKiller. Thanks J.J!
Ren's Helmet only seems to serve 1 purpose... to protect his perfect hair... no helmet hair in StarWars!
Ren should have dispatched Finn almost immediately... with disdain...
After that Rey's fight with Ren would have been totally appropriate... instead Ren looked like a totally inept light saber duelist.
The entire film lacks feeling of the size and weight of the StarWars Universe.
Fortunately JJ wont be doing the next one.

As a Star Trek fan who had to watch on as JJ Abrams destroyed the last remnants of her favourite sci-fi franchise, I can only agree with these critics. JJ Abrams is a terrible director who doesn't seem to like or care about anything he directs. All he wants to do is direct cool action movies like an 8-year old boy with an over-active imagination.
Now, some people are totally fine with action movies, and hey, it's Star Trek/Wars, so it must be awesome, right? As the Phantom Menace and its offspring showed, that's just not the case.
I can appreciate the first three Star Wars movies for the classic fantasy space opera movies they are (albeit with stretches of amateur level acting), but it might be best to leave that franchise at that point as well, just like how I consider the real Star Trek franchise to have ended with Star Trek Voyager.
Excuse me while I dart out of the back door now amidst a shower of rotten fruit from those who disagree with me
I thought the Force Awakens was great. It's not without its flaws, but overall I think its the best installment since Episode V. For me, Empire and Return of the Jedi were far better than Episode IV. Episode IV suffers from the worst dialog out of the original trilogy, the worst effects and bad pacing in spots. It will always be special for being the first of its kind and being a revolution to science fiction that paved the way for the return of Star Trek and the acceptance of science fiction as a genre. Without it, comic book films, TV shows and even games might be drastically different than they are today.
Personally I think Return of the Jedi had the potential to be the best in the series. Luke was grown up. He wasn't a whiny bitch anymore. The dialog was again not great, but the throne room duel, and several other scenes elevate it to at least the level of the Empire Strikes back. What drags that movie down is ultimately the Endor scenes. The Ewoks are ridiculous and it hurt the film overall. I provide this context for expressing my point of view on Episode VII.
It lacked the general silly bullshit we've come to expect from many films in the series. Episode VII, for all it's faults is generally pretty serious and dark in ton. It borrows heavily from all of the previous films and the larger EU (albeit selectively) and for the most part it works. The film never makes and attempt to hid what its doing and pays homage to the originals in an unapologetic way. You can see it on Harrison Ford's face when they have to deliver BB8 to the resistance. He's got that; "this seems familiar" type of look. Someone in the Resistance control room even states; "It's the Death Star all over again."
What I thought was interesting about the film borrowing from the earlier films was the way they changed up the details. For example, Han Solo very much takes on Obi-Wan Kenobi's role in the film. Instead of one dumb farm boy who's along for the ride we get two young characters who largely split the role.
As for the casting of Kylo Ren, I don't totally hate the character. I was as critical as anyone about Anakin's casting in the prequel films but here it makes some sense. He's the same sort of "type" that both Anakin and Luke were when they were young. The villain needed to be young in order to fit within the confines of the story. If they had cast some rugged looking guy with a chiseled body, you'd never believe he was descended from the Skywalker family. Kylo Ren's anger issues make sense on two levels. One, Sith all embrace their passions and outbursts of rage anger are common place. Two, because he is young it doesn't have that festering but boiling over quality that Anakin had as Darth Vader.
Ultimately a lot of the way this film seems constructed seems to boil down to it being done in the safest way possible that would please the most people and maximize profits. So there is a lot of fan service here and while it does lack depth and provide inherent predictability I found it entertaining which is the point. I think the film gets more right than it does wrong.

The real Star Trek ended with Deep Space Nine. Voyager was a fucking travesty and a total clusterfuck of cliché's, over-used plotlines, continuity errors, inconsistent story telling and lame duck characters. Most of Voyager's characters were either developmentally challenged or suffered from development that was hyper accelerated too fast. Most often either direction had negative results. It was a piece of shit for a lot of the reasons why Enterprise was. That's not to say they don't have some occasionally good episodes or story arcs, but the overall series is mediocre to bad just like the episodes that comprise it.
The Warp 10 episode stands tall as the single worst episode of Star Trek, spanning it's 48 year history. I believe that episode to be the single worst live-action example of Star Trek material, including the horrible fan fictions and crossovers to be found in the darkest reaches of the internet's anus. Even the horrible Enterprise series finale doesn't compare to this utter trashing of the in-universe mythology. At least the finale to Enterprise wasn't based on a totally bad premise which shattered the show's 40 years of mythology. Don't get me wrong, it was bad, easily the second worst Star Trek offense of all time. The Warp 10 episode however stands alone in its badness. It's worse than the Star Wars Holiday Special, Spock's Brain and the worst direct to DVD atrocities given to us by aging 1980's action stars combined.
To further clarify, the Warp 10 episode is so bad that it would BENEFIT from JJ Abrams retelling it. And I can't fucking stand what he's done to Star Trek.
I saw it on premier day... I mean night... midnight
I went with my 8yo kid. I was almost 8 when I saw StarWars and I can say that his reaction mimics mine back then. He was completely amazed. We've already seen all starwars films together and not one made him as excited as FA. So I tried to do the same, just enjoy the movie without over analizing it. And enjoy I did.
Most of my friends weren't as excited and plenty were dissapointed. And after my excitement passed I too was aware of its problems. The grandpa scene was way too soon, the Yodette and Palpatine 2.0 leaved a lot to be desired, etc.
But then again even the all mighty ESB has its flaws, and it seems many of the issues will be resolved in EP VIII so there's hope.
Filiprino
Hah, I've read my previous post and I have 2 big gramatical errors. But I can not edit :S
All he wants to do is direct cool action movies like an 8-year old boy with an over-active imagination.
I don't see what's the problem with that. There are plenty of directors that want to take things too seriously.
michael.pa2
That was the weakest part of the movie for me,the villains.In the original trilogy you had Darth Vader and the Emperor. Bad as the second trilogy was,Darth Maul was pretty bad ass.For this one we get a wimpy,tantrum throwing emo with daddy issues,and a holographic giant Gollum who will probably be revealed to be a diminutive pipsqueak using illusions like the Wizard of Oz behind the curtain.
I don't disagree with that DS9 was the last Star Trek series which was just basically brilliant from beginning to end. I watched Voyager when it first aired and maybe it just grew on me. Watching it back years later I find myself skipping lots of episodes, like all the Fair Haven filler.
I think I mostly see Voyager as being 'all right', because it still had some good to great story arcs in there which worked out well.
I remember that episode. It is called Treshold: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Threshold_(Star_Trek:_Voyager)
It's definitely not one of the more brilliant moments, and should probably be forgotten.
That said, both TNG and DS9 top my list for most eps with deep philosophical insights. Especially episodes in TNG like 'Measure of a Man', which are simply brilliant. And who can forget to count the right number of lights after a certain episode?

Lol jj is the new Braga.

I watched it, I liked it, but then I read most of the books up until Ep 1 came out. There are a lot of things in this movie that draw from the expanded universe that Disney said they threw out, and making the connections for me was interesting. The only thing I didn't care for was the end seemed a little rushed and could have been filled out a little more and it didn't have quite as much of a cliff hanger ending, but then Ep 4 ended the same so maybe Ep 8 will be the cliff hanger that Ep 5 was.
ManofGod
I am sure glad I went to see the movie by myself so I could completely enjoy it. (It was great.) Also, I enjoyed all the Star Trek series including Enterprise. (The third season was not so good but, that was because the dragged the story line on too long.) Also, Star Trek 5 was not good because, the center of the galaxy is 10's or thousands of light years away but, they make it in one day?
You do understand that Warp 10 was considered the maximum, infinite speed on the cochrane scale, right? Do you even read any of the books or do you just live on the TV show only? This warp scale was produced before the Voyager show even started.
I don't require TV shows, not even Star Trek to be deep, thought provoking, philosophical or insightful. I am glad Star Trek can do those things as well as provide entertainment on a multitude of levels. It was a show which could make you ponder the mysteries of the universe while providing explosions and fist fights all in the same episode. The original series had many philosophical moments but it's combination of character driven narratives, action and unique science fiction atmosphere are what drew me to the show and kept me watching everything Star Trek related years later.
Unfortunately what JJ Abrams has done was give us action with no subtext and no depth. Basically it's like watching Star Trek Nemesis in different skins. All action, little substance.
Arcygenical said:
When it comes to Star Trek, absolutely. With regard to Star Wars, I think there is more there than people give it credit for. Lawrence Kasdan co-wrote Episode VII. He is the man who co-wrote The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi. I'm not saying the movie doesn't get some things wrong, or make choices I don't agree with, but the totality of the film won't be fully understood until the trilogy is finished. There are a few points Episode VII wasn't quite clear on that we need some explanation for.
If you go back to Episode IV, there isn't a lot of character development there either. We didn't have a complete picture of the characters until all three films were finished. Luke and Han Solo stand out as two characters that show a great deal of progression from Episode IV to Episode VI. I'm expecting the same thing here.
ManofGod said:

Actually, that's the warp scale. The Cochrane scale is different. The latter is a unit of measurement for subspace distortion. Not velocity.
Yes, I do understand that warp 10 is the absolute maximum of the warp scale used in Star Trek the Next Generation through Star Trek Voyager. Attaining it, according to the Star Trek the Next Generation Technical Manual, required nearly infinite energy. This is something that our current real world understanding of physics agrees with.
Do you even read any of the books or do you just live on the TV show only? This warp scale was produced before the Voyager show even started.
I have read many of the books associated with the franchise, but I'd like to point out that the books are not canon and never were, no matter how closely associated with the show they are.
The warp scale was changed for Star Trek the Next Generation. Warp 10 was placed as an unreachable top of the new scale. The Star Trek Next Generation technical manual states that achieving the speed would be impossible. The Next Generation also showed an alternate timeline where that scale was re-evaluated in the episode "All Good Things." Such a turn of events is likely given that warp speeds on the later ships was reaching speeds of warp 9.975 etc. It seems reasonable to call 9.99 warp 10, and 9.999 warp 11 or whatever.
The problem with that show is that it portrays warp 10 the same way that it was described in the ST:TNG Technical Manual where speed was infinite and one would exist in every place in the universe simultaneously. This is indeed what happened in the show. What's fucking bullshit about it is that this was achieved on a Class 2 shuttlecraft that had a maximum warp speed of around warp 2 or 4 depending on the source material. That's like trying to hit 1,000 MPH in a Viper using it's stock engine. It isn't fucking possible. That episode breaks all the shows own rules and established lore for a story that's fucking retarded.
Don't forget how Janeway and Paris "evolved" into salamanders that showed no sentient behavior, fucked and laid eggs, then were turned back into humans later.
Warp 10 is also described as a transwarp barrier in the same show which makes no fucking sense. Voyager had traveled at transwarp velocities several times in the series which is clearly different than warp 10. This is the problem with Voyager. It was inconsistent at best in terms of writing quality. It doesn't always follow it's own rules.

I loved all the movies, even the much maligned EI-III.

I will take Enterprise over Voyager any day.
Enterprise actually got pretty good starting with Season 3 once the EPs got it through their heads to stop copying Voyager. Unfortunately, the terrible first two seasons caused most people to stop watching long before S3 aired.
The Cobra said:
I have the same general problems with Episode I that everyone else does. Additionally I dislike the visual style of many things in Episodes I and II. Episode II's love story was fucking painful to watch. The movie had some pacing issues. It's mediocre at best and for a Star Wars movie its terrible. Episode III is one I genuinely enjoy up until the last 10 or 15 minutes where it turns to shit. The whole Frankenstein's monster bit is fucking retarded, unimaginative and lazy. The reasoning behind Padme's death is an even worse atrocity. The last few minutes ruin an otherwise solid film for me. Sure that movie has other issues but I enjoyed it for the most part.
damicatz said:
Enterrpise was a bad idea that was surprisingly well executed in places. The premise of the show was never done justice. They just couldn't adequately tackle the founding of the United Federation of Planets and everything that needed to go along with it in the framework of a TV show. Despite that, I think it has more solid character driven episodes than Voyager does. Though it suffers from many of the same issues, such as lame characters. The Temporal Cold War was unpleasant crap to watch. You are correct in stating that the later episodes were much better. They certainly were but by the time they fixed much of what was wrong with the show, it was too little, too late.
Did you know that in the novels the warp 10 barrier is not really existent the Enterprise A was regularly cruising around at warp 15. And warp 10 was broken on numerous occasions with side effects similar to how it was depicted in Voyager. The biggest travesty in Voyager is 7 of 9 she literally got the job by sleeping with the director and she literally was paraded around in the skin suit to pump ratings. Years later she was quoted as the first skin suit she was stuffed into she wanted to burn it as it was fit with a built in girdle and she could barely breathe while she wore it.
Biggest flaw in the warp 10 episode is that hitting warp 10 causes you to exist on all points of space and time at once... This is simply not how it works you just travel exponentially faster at warp 11 voyager could be home in a few months not everywhere and nowhere at the same time. The problem is when you pass the threshold a new type of radiation field that has been found to not be possible to shield against causes mutations and rapid evolutions.
All of that said it never really made sense to me that the new dilithium they found in that episode they chose not to use it and keep the engines going at warp 9.975.
Steering this back to topic.
A light saber to master one requires 2 things a practiced mastery of the force and intense melee training specifically for the light saber. There are references to untrained people attempting to wield lightsabers cutting off both of their arms.
If you did not have the force it would be almost impossible to use a lightsaber in battle.
Now finn held his own pretty damn well vs a trained jedi/sith. When all he had to go on was stormtrooper training... yeah he needs to have force sensitivity...
I completely agree. I love DS9 and TNG because of how their main characters and even some side characters carried the show through a wide variety of scenarios, ranging from serious, to very dangerous to emotional and joyful moments. All of that helps to make these characters into human beings you can relate to. Even the 'bad guys' are made to look sympathetic at times, like Gul Dukat. You both hate and like the guy.
Star Trek Nemesis is this uneasy blur in the back of my mind which I never hope to revisit. Similar to the travesty that was JJ "I hate Star Trek" Abram's Star Trek reboot =/

Apparently the LA Times agrees with the naysayers here ... http://www.latimes.com/business/hil...the-force-awakens-stinks-20151226-column.html ... I still stand by my positive opinion though ... the movie wasn't perfect but it was enjoyable and didn't require the "check your brain" at the door approach to enjoy it

The problem with "I'm entitled to my opinion" is that, all too often, it's used to shelter beliefs that should have been abandoned. It becomes shorthand for "I can say or think whatever I like" – and by extension, continuing to argue is somehow disrespectful. And this attitude feeds, I suggest, into the false equivalence between experts and non-experts that is an increasingly pernicious feature of our public discourse.

The problem is we're talking about movies, which is more subjective to all sort of opinions rather than say specific scientific or medical topics, etc. where expert opinions would carry more weight. You either like the movie, somewhere in between or don't like it. If you go by experts in the novels that go strictly by canon this might be a bad movie, others who just enjoy Sci Fi movies might love it. Nobody is wrong or right in this.There is a reason movie critics don't carry as much weight as they used to as there is so much more pre-release information before hand to make up our own minds.

Reincarnation Of The Strongest Sword God - Chapter 282
Chapter 282: Chapter 282 - Dark Wind
Chapter 282 - Dark Wind
The War God's Temple, an organization that was founded shortly after the Great Destruction, had been in existence for thousands of years now, protecting the human race from invasions by foreign races.
Now that the Endless Abyss had been opened, the humans of God's Domain would have to rely on the War God's Temple to deal with the invasion of Demonic Beasts. It was no longer a situation that could be handled by any single country.
Aside from being the protector of the human race, the War God's Temple was also a location for players to learn advanced skills. Meanwhile, players only needed to complete the quests they received at the War God's Temple in order to do so.
Shortly after Shi Feng arrived at the War God's Temple, he reported the Endless Abyss to the Knight Captain on duty.
The War God's Temple was considered one of the most powerful forces in God's Domain. Just a normal Knight here was already a Level 180 Tier 2 NPC. As for the Knight Captain, he was a Level 200 Tier 3 NPC.
The Knight Captain revealed an anxious expression after hearing Shi Feng's report. "Your Excellency Black Flame, this matter is of utmost importance. However, as I'll need to immediately send out warnings to all cities throughout the kingdom and also muster troops to the frontlines, I'll have to trouble you to head to the War God's Temple in the capital city and report this matter to Lord Ucarus and seek his aid." The Knight Captain passed a gold token to Shi Feng, then promptly headed out of the temple, not giving Shi Feng any chance to even refuse.
Shi Feng was left speechless by the Knight Captain's words.
Fortunately, he only needed to head to the capital city and look for the person named Ucarus, an easy task to accomplish.
Following which, Shi Feng left the War God's Temple and hurried over to White River City's Teleportation Hall.
Just as Shi Feng was about to enter the Teleportation Hall, however, six robust-looking players stood in front of the stone staircase, completely blocking the entryway.
These six players were all Level 18;such a level could definitely be ranked at the very top of White River City. Moreover, the equipment these players wore were of excellent quality, majority of which were of Secret-Silver rank. Meanwhile, the solemn-looking middle-aged man who looked like the leader of this party of players had the best equipment out of these six players. He was actually fully equipped with Secret-Silver Equipment. His gaze was like a sharp blade, and his entire body exuded such an icy-cold aura that other players unconsciously detoured as they walked past him.
Although Shi Feng had never fought against these six players before, he could clearly tell that they were very strong. There were very few parties of their caliber in White River City.
Meanwhile, pinned to the chests of these players were black six-pointed stars. This black star was none other than Dark Star's Guild Emblem.
"What can I do for you?" Shi Feng asked.
"You're Black Flame, right? I am Ming Sha of Underworld. I am here to give you a piece of good news," the middle-aged man said in a condescending tone.
Although Black Flame had been titled as the Chief Forger of Star-Moon Kingdom, in Ming Sha's eyes, he was merely a clown prancing on the stage.
Whether it was in reality or in God's Domain, only strength truly mattered.
A forger that only knew how to stay hidden inside a room was nothing more than a tool for strong players like them.
If not for the matter of the Guild Residence astonishing the upper echelons of Underworld, Ming Sha would not even be here trying to make contact with Black Flame.
Instead of Black Flame, the person Ming Sha was interested in was Ye Feng, the player widely acclaimed a God-ranked Swordsman. Ming Sha really wished to meet him. Moreover, Young Master Feng had also given given orders to get rid of that Ye Feng and obtain the Epic ranked item in Shi Feng's hands.
Unfortunately, Ye Feng proved simply too elusive. No matter how many men Ming Sha had sent out, they still could not find a trace of that Ye Feng. Ming Sha was very disappointed by such a result, as he never imagined that Ye Feng would be such a coward, not having the courage to even come out and fight.
"Good news? Then why do I feel that you guys are coming with bad intentions in hand?" Shi Feng revealed an indifferent smile as he sent a glance at the other five menacing players.
"Master Black Flame, it is our fault for behaving too rashly. However, we truly do have great news for you. Only, I hope that you can take a trip with us. After all, this place isn't exactly suitable for discussions of such an important matter."
At this moment, another person walked up from behind the six players. This person was similarly a middle-aged man. Currently, this man had a wide smile on his honest-looking face. When Shi Feng used Observing Eyes on this man, he discovered that this man was actually called South Wolf. Immediately, Shi Feng came to a realization.
The road for enemies truly is narrow. Shi Feng inwardly chuckled.
South Wolf was none other than the person that tried to threaten Shi Feng into surrendering his Ice-Blue Devil Flame. After being rejected, South Wolf had even declared that he would take action against Shi Feng. Originally, Shi Feng had intended to take a look at just how powerful the organization known as Underworld was. Unfortunately, this matter had been quelled by Gentle Snow. Shi Feng never thought he would meet this fellow once again today.
"What if I don't want to go?" Shi Feng asked.
"We have long since thought of this point; hence I asked Brother Ming Sha and his friends to come and personally invite Master Black Flame over," South Wolf said with South Wolf said with a hypocritical smile, sending a glance at the six Underworld Guards beside him.
"Alright, then, since you guys are being so sincere." Shi Feng nodded.
South Wolf had obviously already familiarized himself with the rules of White River City. Although the rules stated that battles were not allowed within the city limits, that was on the premise that actual damage was caused. There would be no problems if they simply dragged him away.
Of course, Shi Feng's Strength Attribute was extremely high. South Wolf's group had absolutely no chance of abducting him.
Just recently, he had obtained 40 Free Attribute Points as a reward for releasing the Forgotten Lands. Although Shi Feng had added 30 of those points into Intelligence, in order to equip the Heavenly Dragon's Breath even a little earlier, he had placed the remaining 10 into Strength. Aside from that, due to the Abyssal Blade's Attributes, Shi Feng obtained two additional Free Attribute Points every time he leveled up. When coupling those with the Strength provided by his other equipment, Shi Feng's Strength Attribute had long since broken through the 170-point threshold. In terms of the Strength Attribute, very few players throughout God's Domain could be a match for him.
However, it seemed that someone from the mysterious upper echelon of Underworld wanted to meet him, and Shi Feng was curious enough to agree.
"Let us go, then," South Wolf said as he led the way.
A short while later, Shi Feng and the others arrived inside a high-class bar. Very few average players could be seen inside this bar, as most could not afford this luxurious place.
"Master Black Flame, please, come in. Young Master Feng has been waiting for you for a long time now." South Wolf pushed apart the doors to a private room, hinting that Shi Feng should enter.
Upon entering the private room, Shi Feng immediately discovered an imposing yet charming youth sitting inside. This youth was also accompanied by two beautiful female companions at his sides. These two beauties were not players but NPCs. Just like how Anna was working as Shi Feng's assistant at the Starstreak Trading Firm, these Trading Firm, these beauties were clearly servants of this young man. This sight was far more shocking than if he had two attractive female players accompanying him.
At this stage of the game, having the ability to possess two NPC servants showed that this youth before him was definitely out of the ordinary.
"You are in the upper echelon of Underworld?" Shi Feng asked.
"That's right. This one here is known as Feng Xuanyang, the Vice-Leader of Underworld's Star-Moon Kingdom Eastern Branch. Of course, you can also call me by my character name, Dark Wind." Feng Xuanyang introduced himself.
"I wonder, what business does Vice-Leader Feng have with me?" Shi Feng asked.
Judging from Feng Xuanyang's tone, Shi Feng had already made a rough guess as to Underworld's strength. Although he had long since deduced that Underworld had a great deal of power and that their influence covered more than just a single kingdom, Shi Feng still could not help but feel shocked after having his conclusions confirmed. It was no wonder even that Gentle Snow was wary of them.
Star-Moon Kingdom could be categorized into five separate regions: north, south, east, west, and center. White River City was located in the east side. Meanwhile, Feng Xuanyang was in charge of managing the affairs of Underworld's Star-Moon Kingdom Eastern Branch. The authority he wielded was definitely great.
"I heard that Master Black Flame is the founder of Zero Wing. You have even managed to elevate Zero Wing to its current position. We at Underworld feel very optimistic about Zero Wing's future;hence we wish to invest in some shares." Feng Xuanyang then pointed towards Ming Sha, who was currently standing by the door, saying, "You've already seen for yourself the strength of Underworld. Because of us, even the previously insignificant third-rate Guild Dark Star has instantly become a powerhouse in White River City. If Master Black Flame is willing, Underworld can similarly make Zero Wing grow rapidly. Not only could you become the overlord of White River City, you could even become the number one Guild in the entire eastern region of Star-Moon Kingdom.
"I wonder if Master Black Flame might be interested?"

News / Technical Articles
The content of the technical articles reflects the status as of the respective date of publication. They are not updated. Further developments are therefore not taken into account.
Experts on engines and drive systems provide an overview of a range of technical issues.
Callosum Automation System:
Equipment Health Monitoring enables maximum availability and low life-cycle costs for deployed vessels (pdf, 7 MB)
With the Equipment Health Monitoring function of Callosum, MTU today already meets demands that modern naval forces can expect to face in the future. It makes reliable and plannable long-term missions possible even for vessels with small and frequently changing crews. The automation system utilizes the latest analysis techniques like machine learning to minimize maintenance needs, to increase availability and planning reliability for forces on active missions and to cut life-cycle costs.
Getting to the core of engine value:
Understanding lifecycle costs for long-term savings (pdf, 303 KB)
When lifecycle costs are considered, high-performing and well-maintained MTU engines outmatch the competition with purpose-built design, unmatched quality and tailored service.
New MTU Fuel Filtration Upgrade Kit ensures optimal performance in the field—even when fuel quality standards are difficult or impossible to meet (pdf, 277 KB)
Common rail fuel injection systems require high fuel quality to perform optimally. In a dusty environment such as a mining site, these fuel standards can be difficult or impossible to meet. Over time, particles and contaminants accumulate in the fuel, which can cause premature wear and reduce injector life due to the high pressures in the fuel injection system. To ensure optimal performance in these circumstances, MTU has introduced a new fuel filtration upgrade kit for Series 4000 mining engines. Field-tested for more than three years, it has been shown to significantly extend injector life, which reduces operating costs dramatically. The savings can quickly add up over time, especially for mine operations with large fleets of haul trucks.
MTU-integrated bi-fuel engine technology to reduce fuel costs (pdf, 793 KB)
Fuel expense for diesel-powered fracking engines represents a significant portion of total operating costs within a typical onshore well stimulation spread. Accordingly, with the increased availability of lower priced and environmentally friendly natural gas, aftermarket installed bi-fuel systems have rapidly intensified the interest of well service operators seeking reduced operating expense through utilization of well-site field gas. Through use of integrated bi-fuel engine technology, MTU is able to meet the specific demands of well servicing in a field installable kit, which retains all internal diesel engine components and ensures safe and reliable operation at original engine performance and emissions specifications.
Redundant engine controller for fire pump drive systems (NFPA20) (pdf, 802 KB)
Over the last few years, the so-called NFPA20 standard has been established for fire pump drive systems in the oil and gas industry. This standard by the US National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) requires a redundant engine controller. The second engine controller must be installed on the engine, be permanently wired and, in the event of a fault on the first controller, must take over the engine control automatically without interruption of the fire pump water jet. MTU now offers its fire pump drive systems in line with this standard.
Turbocharging: Key technology for high-performance engines (pdf, 2 MB)
The performance of an internal combustion engine can be increased by adding turbocharging. A turbocharger compresses the air so that more oxygen flows into the combustion chamber. In this way, more fuel is burned and the power output of the engine increases accordingly. The turbocharger is driven by exhaust gas, which makes turbocharged diesel engines very efficient. MTU develops this key technology for high-performance engines in-house.
Common Rail Fuel Injection: Key technology for clean and economical combustion (pdf, 1 MB)
With common rail fuel injection, the combustion process can be optimized to achieve low pollutant levels combined with lower fuel consumption. Fuel is injected into the combustion chamber from a common rail under high pressure. The electronic control system ensures that the start of injection, the quantity and time are independent of the engine speed. In 1996, with the Series 4000 engine, MTU was the first manufacturer of large diesel engines to introduce common rail fuel injection as a standard feature.
Electronic engine management: Key technology for intelligent engine control (pdf, 1 MB)
The brain of a modern engine is the electronic control unit. It monitors and controls all the key functions of the engine and the exhaust aftertreatment system. The control unit also acts as the interface to the vehicle's automation system. The optimum interplay of the entire drive system is the key to low pollutant emissions, low fuel consumption and high power output over the entire service life. MTU develops and manufactures this key technology in-house.
Exhaust Gas Recirculation: Internal engine technology for reducing nitrogen oxide emissions (pdf, 1 MB)
Nitrogen oxide (NOX) emissions can be reduced using internal engine technology by cooling some of the exhaust gas, which is then redirected back into the charge air. This results in the reduction of the combustion temperature and less nitrogen oxide is produced. This process is known as exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) and is one of the principal methods used to reduce nitrogen oxide emissions from diesel engines. MTU has been developing this important technology and the functions and components associated with it since the beginning of the 1990s. It was first introduced in series production in mid-2011 for Series 4000 Oil and Gas engines in hydro-fracking applications (EPA Tier 4 emissions standard). It was likewise intro - duced in rail engines subject to EU IIIB emissions regulations which came into force in 2012.
Diesel Particulate Filter: Exhaust aftertreatment for the reduction of soot emissions (pdf, 2 MB)
A diesel particulate filter (DPF) can remove virtually all the soot particulates (PM) from the exhaust gas emitted from a diesel engine to ensure compliance with very strict emission standards. Regardless of the actual emission limit, diesel particulate filters satisfy the needs of operators who place importance on achieving extremely low soot emissions.
Selective Catalytic Reduction: Exhaust aftertreatment for reducing nitrogen oxide emissions (pdf, 909 KB)
The term Selective Catalytic Reduction (or SCR) is used to describe a chemical reaction in which harmful nitrogen oxides (NOX) in exhaust gas are converted into water (H2O) and nitrogen (N2). In combination with internal engine technologies, such as exhaust gas recirculation (EGR), extremely low nitrogen oxide emissions can be achieved with low fuel consumption.
Blue Vision New Generation – Monitoring and remote control for MTU ship propulsion systems (pdf, 3 MB)
Blue Vision New Generation is an automation system for propulsion plants in yachts and workboats with MTU Series 2000 or 4000 engines. It is available both in a straightforward, non-classifiable version (Blue Vision Basic New Generation) and in an expanded, classifiable version (Blue Vision Advanced New Generation). In a subsequent expansion stage, Blue Vision Premium New Generation will represent the most extensive version.
Powerline – Drive automation for locomotives (pdf, 1 MB)
Powerline is a complete concept for the automation of drive systems in diesel-hydraulic and diesel-electric locomotives. its modular structure provides a high level of flexibility and ensures straightforward integration in new-builds as well as in locomotive repowering projects. This article describes how Powerline can be integrated in different types of locomotive and explains the functional principles of the individual components.

A: The problematic line is uwsgi_pass  todo:9000;. The container is not able to resolve todo to an address. Replace the domain name with ip address uwsgi_pass  127.0.0.1:9000;.
Perhaps give hostnames to your containers in the docker-compose file: hostname: todo.

In Nightshade forest, Alan said, "you have no right to question me... Older brother."
In Roger's memories, it said his twin brother Alan, and their friend.
Roger and Alan are twins, but Roger is supposedly older by a wee bit. Roger came out first according to their parents. For some reason, they rarely refer to each other as twins and, even though they look very similar, they are not identical. This sentiment of theirs isn't really reflected in the story yet so sorry for the confusion!
Riley's hair is meant to be a dark, chocolate brown. Some have said it shimmers in the light. The choice of the word "raven" I used was misleading. I'll fix it for the next update.
I've seen this 2-3 times and can't figure out how to duplicate it, but it's a different description of the Ignis amulet (also mentions it's a key item). I believe the last time around I got it by clicking on info on the twinkle rose?

Q: Do we still need to hide/remove print statements in Xcode 8.2 and Swift 3 when releasing app? Is it still recommended / needed to hide print statements when releasing an app with Xcode 8.2 and Swift 3?
At the moment I have a global print function like this
 func print(_ items: Any...) {
    #if DEBUG
        Swift.print(items[0])
    #endif
}

than will only print if the project is in Debug mode.
Apple recently finally added the DEBUG flag by default in Xcode so we do not have to manually add it anymore in OtherFlags in Build Settings.
This made me wonder if we actually still need to remove the print statements or does Swift/Xcode do it automatically or is there some other optimisation where it is no longer needed.
If not is the above way the best approach?

A: import Foundation

class print {
   @discardableResult init(_ Item: Any) {
        print(Item)
    }

   private func print(_ item: Any) {
    #if DEBUG
        Swift.print("HI + \(item)")
    #endif
    }
}

-> Open Build settings -> Swift compiler-Custom flag -> Other swift flag.
-> expand the  Other swift flag -> Add -D DEBUG before debug.
create new class name print and just add the code. It will bypass the prints.

A: After doing some more research it still seems that we need/should hide print statements for release. As mentioned in my question its best done via a global print function
func print(_ items: Any...) {
    #if DEBUG
        Swift.print(items[0])
    #endif
}

I stumbled out into the courtyard to try to flee my misery, but of course we can never flee the misery that is within us.
Adversity is like a strong wind…it holds us back from places we might otherwise go. It also tears away from us all but the things that cannot be torn, so that afterward we see ourselves as we really are, and not merely as we might like to be.
If a few minutes of suffering could make me so angry, what would years of it do? Even a stone can be worn down with enough rain.
And then I became aware of all the magnificent silk wrapped around my body, and had the feeling I might drown in beauty. At that moment, beauty itself struck me as a kind of painful melancholy.
A mouse who wishes to fool the cat doesn't simply scamper out of its hole whenever it feels the slightest urge.
Some people have difficulty telling the difference between something great and something they've simply heard of.
For a flicker of a moment I imagined a world completely different from the one I'd always known, a world in which I was treated with fairness, even kindness— a world in which fathers didn't sell their daughters.
After all, when a stone is dropped into a pond, the water continues quivering even after the stone has sunk to the bottom.
Every man has his destiny. But who needs to go to a fortune-teller to find it? Do I go to a chef to find out if I'm hungry?
I cannot tell you what it is that guides us in this life; but for me, I fell toward the Chairman just as a stone must fall toward the earth. When I cut my lip and met Mr. Tanaka, when my mother died and I was cruelly sold, it was all like a stream that falls over rocky cliffs before it can reach the ocean. Even now that he is gone I have him still, in the richness of my memories.
The corridor couldn't have smelled more strongly of fish guts if we had actually been inside a fish.
By the time we arrived, as evening was approaching, I felt as sore as a rock must feel when the waterfall has pounded on it all day long.
And when I raised myself to look at the man who'd spoken, I had a feeling of leaving my misery behind me there on the stone wall.
Perhaps it seems odd that a casual meeting on the street could have brought about such change. But sometimes life is like that isn't it
Here again, I saw life in all its noisy excitement passing me by.
Here's the thing: this eel spends its entire life trying to find a home, and what do you think women have inside them? Caves, where the eels like to live...when they find a cave they like, the wriggle around inside it for a while to be sure that...well, to be sure it's a nice cave, I suppose. And when they've made up their minds that it's comfortable, they mark the cave as their territory...by spitting.
If those sorts of moments would be the only pleasure life offered me, I'd be better off shutting out that one brilliant source of light to let my eyes begin to adjust to the darkness.
Hopes are like hair ornaments. Girls want to wear too many of them. When they become old women they look silly wearing even one.
Those of us with water in our personalities don't pick where we'll flow to. All we can do is flow where the landscape of our lives carries us
Autobiography, if there really is such a thing, is like asking a rabbit to tell us what he looks like hopping through the grasses of the field. How would he know? If we want to hear about the field on the other hand, no one is in a better circumstance to tell us-so long as we keep in mind that we are missing all those things the rabbit was in no position to observe.
If you have experienced an evening more exciting than any in your life, you're sad to see it end; and yet you still feel grateful that it happened.
I was thanking him for...well, for something I'm not sure I can explain even now. For showing me that something besides cruelty could be found in the world, I suppose.
Finally the homeless eel marked its territory, I suppose, and the Doctor lay heavily upon me, moist with sweat.
If you keep your destiny in mind, every moment in life becomes an opportunity for moving closer to it.
If Mother and Mameha couldn't come to an agreement, I would remain a maid all my life just as surely as a turtle remains a turtle
Nothing is more fallacious than wealth. It is a hostile comrade, a domestic enemy.

Born in Germany, Andrea Bauer began playing the violin at the age of five. She picked up the cello when she was eight. After graduating from the renowned school of Arts, Hochschule der Kuenste, in Berlin, she started working with various big symphony orchestras and chamber music groups in Germany and other European countries.
Although she has been raised with classical music, she found that her tendency towards music of the East as well as ambient and jazz deserved equal time. She performed in concerts and recorded music throughout the world with artists like Lateta Theresa, James Morrison, Natalie Cole, the oriental band Derya, Michael Hoppe, the Ray Brown Trio and many others. After discovering the effects processors and loop machines, Andrea started developing her very own music, which was informed by oriental and ambient music but based on the classical sound of cello. Finally, after meeting with her spiritual teacher, Eli Jaxon-Bear, her music took concrete shape leading to the recording of her first solo album, Cello Songs for Silence, which is gratefully dedicated to Eli.

Beye: Reflecting on the tragedy of the young "invincibles" (column)
Columns | November 16, 2015
Wendy Beye
Writers on the Range
A high school boy who recently survived a catastrophic crash that killed three of his friends in Maryland was quoted by the news media, saying: "We felt invincible!"
The police estimated that their car was traveling at more than 70 miles per hour when it veered off the road and hit a tree. A pastor in our small town in eastern Montana said something similar when he spoke about a crash that occurred near our town: "They must have felt invincible."
Deadly accidents involving teenagers and vehicles occur daily across the United States, but perhaps they send out the deepest ripples of sorrow in small towns, where the victims tend to be known by just about everyone. Two families in my own rural Montana community are currently grieving over the loss of their 14-year-old daughters, who went out joyriding one night this fall.
They met up with a 15-year-old and 16-year-old from a larger town nearby, and "borrowed" a car from one of the girls' mothers. The comma-shaped marks on the highway left by the vehicle's tires offer grim testimony to the young driver's actions that night. I imagine he must have thrilled his passengers by swerving back and forth across the centerline.
At 5 a.m., he made one swerve too many, left the road, and careened off an approach to a lane that connected to the highway. The car sailed hundreds of yards, then cartwheeled, throwing its unbuckled cargo into the darkness. The young driver is now paralyzed for life.
After one of the funerals, a hundred people participated in a potluck reception where they talked in hushed tones about "lessons learned." Teary-eyed girls and somber boys sat together quietly, trying to process the realization that their friends were no longer among the living. Adults shook their heads and said, "Maybe other kids will think twice about driving recklessly. This shouldn't happen again."
It will, though, and in fact it already has. Just two weeks after those young people died, four teenage boys from a similar small town about 120 miles west of here piled into a pickup truck and headed east. The Highway Patrol guesses the driver was speeding when he swung wide on a curve. The pickup crossed the centerline and was hit head on by a semi-tractor and trailer. Three more youngsters were gone, pronounced dead at the scene. One had to be pried from the wreckage. The semi driver was not hurt physically, but no doubt will have nightmares about the accident for the rest of his life.
Our community was devastated.
Lecturing young drivers on the need for caution and the necessity of wearing seatbelts does nothing to reduce the likelihood that additional promising lives will be snuffed out in an instant next week, next month, or next year. Some of the adults who were tsk-tsk-ing at the funeral in our town probably even survived the same kind of risky behavior in their youth. They have forgotten how lucky they were — that they, too, once thought they were invincible.
Scientists who study brain development have concluded that the adolescent brain has not yet developed enough neurological connections to produce a sense of responsibility, or the consistent recognition of cause and effect. That doesn't happen until an individual reaches the early 20s — and for some folks, it never seems to happen.
My oldest granddaughter qualified for her driver's license this summer. I talked with her about her driver education teacher, and was satisfied that he has done his best to produce a cautious driver. I know, however, that her 15-year-old brain has not fully developed, and I will spend the next 10 years aware that my phone might ring at 4 a.m. some morning, changing my world forever. It did just that 25 years ago when her own mother, my daughter, was on a trip with her friend in our family car, 2,500 miles from home. My heart stopped beating until I heard my 18-year-old say, "I'm all right, mom, but the car is totaled."

Trần Quốc Vượng (12 December 1934 – 8 August 2005) was a Vietnamese historian, archaeologist, and culturologist. He was part of the generation including Hà Văn Tấn, and Phan Huy Lê that had formed the foundation of Vietnamese History Studies since the 1950s. Since 1956, he was Professor of University of Social Sciences and Humanities - Vietnam National University, Hanoi and gave lectures on Vietnamese Ancient-Middle History, Archaeology, and Culturology until 2005.

Biographical Notes
Born on December 12, 1934, in Kinh Mon Village, Hải Dương province, Trần Quốc Vượng graduated as Bachelor of History-Geography at University of Hanoi. He was then invited to teach at the University of Hanoi (later known as University of Social Sciences and Humanities, Vietnam National University, Hanoi). He studied archaeology during 1959-60 and together with renowned Archaeology Institute director and professor Hà Văn Tấn led the way in unearthing Vietnam's archaeological history. He was made a Full Professor in 1980.

He held the Rockefeller Foundation visiting fellowship named Rockefeller Residency Fellowships in the Humanities at Cornell University's Centre for Southeast Asian Studies during 1990-91. At Cornell, he focused his research on the "Evolution and Structure of Vietnamese Folk Culture."

Professor Trần Quốc Vượng's many posts included deputy general secretary of the Association of Vietnamese Folklorists and first president of the Hanoi History Association.

Professor Trần Quốc Vượng, who wrote about a variety of subjects ranging from history, archaeology to folklore, was among the first to begin a systematic study of Vietnam's culture. In 1960, he translated and provided notes to Đại Việt sử lược (ancient Chinese: 大越史略), or Sketches of Vietnam's History, one of the country's most ancient surviving works. In 1973, he was the chief author of the two-edition Danh nhân Hà Nội (Hanoi's Famous Personalities) and in 1975, in collaboration with Vũ Tuân Sán he wrote Hà Nội Nghìn Xưa, or Thousand-year Hanoi. In 1976, he worked with Lê Văn Hảo and Dương Tất Từ to write Mùa xuân và phong tục Việt Nam (Vietnam or Spring and Vietnam's Customs). All were expressions of his desire to contribute all his knowledge to recording his country's history.

PIR based force detector with Particle Photon at core.
How could we really feel the force? What really is the force?
The force lies within us, we have to identify it. The initial idea was to use combination of sensor for determining the force. I tried using IR temperature sensor(TMP006) along with an PIR sensor for the required operation. The device thus made will monitor the environment around and notify using vibration or audio when it detects any living being.
The short range operation of IR temperature sensor lead to designing of the system using PIR sensor alone which essentially could equated to motion detection/ human presence detection.
It detects the motion or essentially the 'Force' and results in vibration and audio notification (on your smartphone).
A passive infrared sensor (PIR sensor) measures infrared (IR) light radiating from objects in its field of view which could be equated to the force. The force detected is conveyed to particle cloud through photon.
2. Testing and setting PIR sensitivity: Testing of PIR is required to ascertain that it is functioning properly as number of PIR sensor are available in market with different specification and modes.
**This project used a medium sensitivity for detecting upto 6-7 feet and very low delay time.
Still confused about how PIR works and setting it up, check this Adafruit tutorial.
Create your own channel (Channels are push notifications feeds that can be subscribed to. Anything you push to a channel will instantly go to all of the channel's subscribers. Only the owner of a channel can push to it.) Download Pushbullet App to your smartphone or even your PC/Mac.
Webhooks can be configured using the Particle CLI. You can install the Particle CLI for using the particle cloud following the instructions here.
Powering the photon setup using power bank doesn't works for a considerable time period(I used 10400 mAH PNY BE-740 which was able to run setup for 10-20 minutes but had multiple issues with PIR functioning).
5. Get ready to feel the force!


Just breathe! This DOES get better.
No matter what you think, YOU ARE ENOUGH!
And also…it's OK if you don't have all those gushy mushy lovey feelings coming out of every pore on your body for your child.
It's not a prerequisite. You've just met!
You are not alone. I've been there, others have been there. I am here for you to have a shoulder to lean on and a warm embrace.
