Dark eerie beats blended with deep bass clarinet tones and saxophone harmonies are at the core of the creature’s distinctive sound.
Embracing his curiously constructed Bauta mask as a form of liberation, nobody’s quite certain where he came from. Displaying a variety of colours and moods within his distinctive sound spectrum, his debut EP KREATUR is a culmination of two years of creative investigation and the soundtrack of junk-E-cat’s adventures.
Kreatur is the dark opener, picturing the creature at the edge of an abyss in a distressed urban environment. While Unmatter gives a musical and vocal hint of junk-E-cat’s nature, M.W.A. takes you to the dark techno floors enriched with a palette of percussive textures. Levitation is an uplifting musical ramp leading to Vortex, the grand finale building the reed section up to an epic drop.
Kreatur was released on May 24th, 2019, on the MUTTERKOMPLEX label.
All tracks written and produced by junk-E-cat.
Additional production by Antonio de Spirt.
Mixed by Martin Waschkowitsch for Mesanic Music.
Mastered by Zino Mikorey.

Moreover, these kinds of narratives entice people to travel to filming locations of films and television series, where they can reimagine and relive their beloved stories on site. This practice, known as film tourism, is far from an obscure activity; in 2014 alone, screen tourists visiting popular filming locations in the UK, such as Alnwick Castle, home of Hogwarts in Harry Potter-films and Broadchurch’s West Bay, brought over £100 million to the British economy.
The UK film industry is booming. But what happens when these images become so pervasive in our conceptualization of the UK that they start to become “true”? That we really come to see London as the cold, heartless backdrop of Luther’s investigations? In this vein, this sub-project looks at film tourism in the UK and the contestations that might arise between the imagining and reality of places and identities, and the consequences for involved locations, visitors, communities and citizens. | entertainment |

It opened in 1923 as the Chevy Chase Theatre, showing silent movies with musical accompaniment from a large organ. Originally the theater sat 1200 people-- almost three times as many as today. The capacity would have been larger had the planned balcony been completed. Instead, the second floor of the building was occupied by a music school and, later, a ballet studio. In 1929, the theater was wired for sound in order to play talking pictures, or “talkies”, and its name was changed to the Avalon.
For 80 years the Avalon was a staple of the neighborhood, until the owners filed for bankruptcy in 2001. Worried that the theatre would be demolished or converted to retail use, community members created the Avalon Theatre Project to raise money to restore the cinema to working order. With help from individuals, foundations, and the government of DC, the construction began in 2002, and the theatre reopened the next year.
Today, the Avalon is “DC’s only non-profit film center”, showing a wide range of mainstream and independent films, as well as hosting events and film festivals.

While at a festival together in 2011, they decided Highland County, with plenty of open space and surrounding scenic beauty, was ready for a festival of its own. In 2013 they started the Blue Grass Valley Music Fest, an annual event that now takes place every August. Set on the idyllic Potomac Farm, which is owned by Melissa’s parents, the festival features an impressive roster of roots music acts, as well as an array of family friendly activities for all ages. In addition to the music, the festival also features local food, a farmer’s market, yoga, arts and crafts, fishing, hiking and biking. “It is a celebration of our community, and there is definitely something for everyone,” says Melissa, who grew up in Highland County and, after spending some time away, moved back with her husband to raise their children.
“After going to many festivals, I took something I really liked about each of them and tried to combine it into everything that I think Highland County has to offer.”
While creating a festival that’s an expression of the local culture in Highland, the organizers want to offer an experience that will bring people from outside the area to visit. “We’re producing a festival that can promote our beautiful home and attract music lovers from all over,” says Erica. “The scenic backdrop of the festival is absolutely breathtaking. Snowy Mountain is in the background and the Blue Grass Valley acts as a natural amphitheater, so the music sounds amazing.”
Helping the Festival Grow
The Highland County community has been ready and willing to help make the Blue Grass Valley Music Fest a success. “Without the continued support of businesses and volunteers from our community, the festival would not be a reality,” Melissa says. “It’s amazing to see how people rally together to help before, during, and after the event, simply because they want to help, not because they have to.” | entertainment |
https://lighthousetreatment.com/7-most-addicting-games-ever/ | 2022-05-21T09:52:43 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-21/segments/1652662539049.32/warc/CC-MAIN-20220521080921-20220521110921-00491.warc.gz | 0.977831 | 1,631 | CC-MAIN-2022-21 | webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2022-21__0__74061586 | en | Millions of people play video games every single day. With tech devices and the internet becoming more and more accessible worldwide, it is now very easy to download and play video games as much as you want. For many people, playing video games is a way for them to de-stress and entertain themselves. However, while video games may seem harmless, playing too much of it can also be harmful.
In fact, the World Health Organization classified gaming disorder as a valid condition. In 2018, it was recorded in the International Classification of Diseases. Gaming disorder refers to uncontrollable gaming behavior wherein the act of gaming takes priority over daily activities and the person still continues gaming even if it is already rendering negative effects.
While people can be addicted to just any game, there are some games that are considered more addictive because of how they were designed and structured. Here is a list of the seven most addicting games ever.
PUBG, short for PlayerUnknown’s Battleground, was first released in December 2017 and since then, it has taken its place as one of the most addicting video games today. PUBG is an online game that adopts the “battle royale” genre wherein the player must be the last man standing to win. It’s kind of like the Hunger Games where you have to defeat everyone else in order to get the chicken dinner, which is the most coveted prize in the game. You can either play it solo or with a team of up to four people. A team can also be declared as the winner.
Players are ranked at the end of every round that’s why you’d probably want to keep playing so you can rank higher the next time. When you finally get to win a chicken dinner, the adrenaline rush becomes so high that you’d want to play again thinking that you’re now invincible. There have been many news reports about people so addicted to PUBG that it has affected their lives. In India, two men were supposedly so engrossed in the game that they didn’t hear a train coming and were run over!
Fortnite is another game in the battle royale genre. It is a free-to-play game making it accessible to many people, even children. Fortnite is actually quite similar to PUBG where you or your team must defeat the rest of the players in order to win. Just like PUBG, you can gather weapons and other items to make your character stronger. The difference between Fortnite and PUBG is the visuals. Fortnite has colorful, almost cartoonish graphics, as opposed to PUBG’s more realistic, military-style look and feel. The graphic look is also what attracts younger gamers.
As of 2019, there are an estimated 250 million Fornite players, with almost 40 million people logging in to play every month. This just shows how addicting this game is. In fact, parents liken the game to heroin because they see their kids lose sleep and abandon their studies because of playing the game. There are also those who turn to illegal substances in order to keep themselves awake to play. In the UK, there was a teenager who claimed that Fortnite turned him into a drug addict. He said that he got hooked on amphetamines to keep himself awake in order to keep playing.
3. World of Warcraft
World of Warcraft is a much older game that was released in 2004. This is also a game that was compared to a drug as it was often referred to as online cocaine, with so many players unable to stop playing it. It had its peak from 2010 to 2012 with more than 10 million players. However, with the release of the newer games, this number lessened with only the really hardcore fans still addicted to it. WOW has many different modes that can keep you hooked for several hours. You can create your own avatar to explore maps, defeat monsters, engage in player interaction and complete carious quests.
4. Call of Duty
Call of Duty is a first-person shooter game first launched in 2003. It now has many different versions with the latest one set to be released in October 2019. According to a report from the Washington Post, humans have spent more time playing this game than it has existed on Earth with more than 2.85 million years logged playing. This statistic was reported way back in 2013 and it was already 14 times longer than humankind has existed.
It is not unusual for gamers to keep on playing for many hours, especially when a game is first released. Some gaming addicts attribute it to the reward system in COD. If you keep playing, you will keep earning small rewards that will keep you happy. If you play more, you’ll always have the thinking that you can lock another thing, without realizing that you’ve spent your entire day gaming.
5. DOTA 2
DOTA 2 is a considered a MOBA (multiplayer online battle arena) game that is free-to-play. It requires two teams of five players each, with each player controlling one character having unique capabilities. DOTA 2 is more of a strategic game wherein the team must destroy their enemy’s core base in order to win. If you are a beginner, the draw of getting better each time will make you want to play continuously. Once you start winning, you’ll still want to go on and get a winning streak.
While the first five games in this list are more focused on defeating other players or toppling the enemy through shootouts or strategy, Minecraft has a totally different concept. Minecraft is a game where players can maximize their creativity by building, digging, and crafting just about anything you want – a house, a castle, a tower, skyscraper, a space shuttle, or an entire city.
There’s really no limit on what you can do. There’s a survival mode where you have to scavenge for resources, or if you like, there’s also a combat mode where you can fight monsters or even other players. Because of the endless possibilities, many people find themselves spending several hours on this game. To date, more than 91 million people log in to the game every month making it one of the biggest video games in the world.
7. Candy Crush
You don’t need to be a legit video gamer to play this game. Candy Crush is a puzzle game where you need to match colored candies by swiping your finger on a mobile screen device. This game is for all ages, making it accessible to a lot of people. Your mom or even your grandmother is probably playing this game, too. Out of 270 million players, more than 9 million people reportedly play this game for more than three hours a day.
Most people start playing Candy Crush to pass the time when they are waiting in line or sitting idle in order to fight boredom. However, once you’re hooked, it can be difficult to break the habit. The colorful interface makes it look deceptively easy but as you go further, the game slowly becomes much more difficult. Most of the time, people who fail to finish one level are only short by a few moves, making them want to try again. A player has a limited number of lives and if you fail to run out of lives because you’re unable to complete one level, you have to wait 30 minutes to replenish your lives. Of course, there’s also an option to pay if you are too frustrated to wait.

https://loveknotengagementrings.com/diamond-facts/why-celebrity-fiancees-receive-bigger-diamonds-than-former-wives/ | 2024-02-25T03:08:53 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947474573.20/warc/CC-MAIN-20240225003942-20240225033942-00787.warc.gz | 0.964132 | 596 | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2024-10__0__19274991 | en | Celebrities, especially those from the film industry, tend to marry more than once. That may not be news to you. Anyhow, do you know that most people from showbiz give their future brides bigger rocks as compared to what their former wives had? Check any list of celebrity engagement rings, and you may find that the carat sizes of their fiancées’ ring gemstones get bigger with their next marriages.
There are some possible reasons for that. You could argue that those celebs wanted to make a statement through their second or third fiancées’ rings. Or, it could be that they got more famous, wealthier and more capable of purchasing pricier products. In any case, it may not be accidental. Here is a list of some celebs who gave rings set with bigger stones to their subsequent fiancées.
Actor Alec Baldwin first met with actress Kim Basinger when they were working for the 1991 film ‘The Marrying Man’. Then, he got married after giving Basinger a ring with a 3.7-carat diamond. She auctioned that ring through Christie’s auction house in 2002, after her divorce from Baldwin.
The second wife of Alec, Hilaria won the battle of bling as she got a 5-carat diamond ring. The more interesting part about it is that it would cost twice as compared to Basinger’s piece of jewelry.
Top Gun star Tom Cruise gave his second fiancée, Nicole Kidman, what appeared to be a 2-carat cushion cut diamond ring way back in 1990. However, his third fiancée Katie Holmes received a bigger diamond ring from him with a more ostentatious setting. After all, Cruise was madly in love with Holmes, as you could see from Oprah Winfrey’s show where he jumped onto the couch and expressed it.
Deadpool star Ryan Reynolds proposed marriage to actress Scarlett Johansson back in 2008, with a 3-carat solitaire diamond mounted on yellow gold.
Anyhow, Reynolds visited the jewelry store once more, for actor Blake Lively this time around. Reynolds’ career flourished after his marriage to Johansson, which allowed him to give Lively a 12-carat pink diamond ring. It is among the priciest celebrity diamond engagement rings of the last 20 years.
Filmmaker Guy Ritchie popped the question to singer Madonna before he shot to fame with the 1998 crime thriller Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels. So, understandably, he only had around £50,000 to spend on a ring with three diamonds that weighed around 5 carats.
Twelve years later, he proposed Jacqui Ainsley with a 5-carat solitaire ring. A ring with a solitaire diamond would cost more than the piece with three stones, even though both have similar carat weights. | entertainment |

Food, music, drink, maybe dancing — what’s not to love? Earlier this month the Hawaii United Okinawa Association held its 25th Anniversary Okinawan Heritage Festival at the beautiful Kapiolani Park, between Waikiki Beach and Diamond Head. We were there only on Saturday evening for the bon odori, or obon dance.
Obon is a Buddhist festival of gratitude towards and celebration of one’s ancestors. Traditional group dances of colorfully dressed professionals and enthusiastic hobbyists alike circle a tower, called a yagura, ringing with drummers, musicians and singers. I love watching the dancers’ faces. Some seem contempletive and serene, whether they are thinking of their loved ones now gone or simply intent on the music. Others are clearly enjoying the camaraderie of the present, laughing and teasing someone nearby. Still other brave souls venture into the fray not knowing the dance steps and openly copying the movements of a more confident dancer in their view. All are welcome and encouraged, which is what makes bon odori so much fun.
Before the dancing begins at dusk, the festival is alive with markets, exhibits, games, and food booths. There’s a craft market, a nursery, an open farmers’ style market, and a food market of Okinawan favorites: black sugar cookies, bittermelon teas and beverages, Okinawan style noodles and kombu.
To build one’s stamina before putting on the dance togs, fresh-cooked Okinawan specialties are also available: aschibitchi (pigs’ feet soup), chanpuru ( tofu scramble), yakisoba (fried noodles), and andagi (fried doughnuts). Last but not least, there’s the piece de resistance — the Andadog, Hawaii Okinawans’ answer to the corn dog. | entertainment |

I walked into a CD shop to buy it 🙂
It seems almost a long time ago that I wrote this song… I remember when I was first told that my song was going to be used for Jaycee’s album and as a duet with him, I was beyond ecstatic…after recording it, it was that long but happy wait to hear and see the final product.
Meeting Jaycee to work on this duet song《最好的我》with him was lovely. I really admire his talent, vision and passion for everything he does and in addition to all of that, his warm, humble and infectious personality really makes it very fun working with him. I did too, sit in on a few meetings when he worked on the lyrics with Xiaohan.
All I can say is, from the arrangement, to the melody, to the lyrics and RAP and to the actual recording, I do believe《最好的我》 has had its impact on all of us when we worked on the song; Jaycee, Eric, Xiaohan, Jim and myself. From wherever within us our stories came from that we put into this song, it was heart, it was tears, it was real…
I wanna thank you for your messages on Facebook and Twitter telling me how this song has touched you, as a guy, as a girl, as someone who has loved, and I thank you all for liking this song, and wanna share with you that I understand how you feel as I have had my fair share of crying listening to this song, in particular the rap written by Jaycee…and the line “我不会走， Coz I love you so”…
Jaycee, thank you for the honor and pleasure, and for breathing life into this song 🙂 | entertainment |

A role-playing game (RPG; often roleplaying game) is a game in which the participants assume the roles of fictional characters and collaboratively create or follow stories. Participants determine the actions of their characters based on their characterization, and the actions succeed or fail according to a formal system of rules and guidelines. Within the rules, players can improvise freely; their choices shape the direction and outcome of the games.
Role playing games are fundamentally different from most other types of games in that they stress social interaction and collaboration, whereas board games, card games, and sports emphasize competition. Like serials or novel sequences, these episodic games are often played in weekly sessions over a period of months or even years, although one session games are also common.
Role-playing games are a form of interactive and collaborative storytelling. Like novels or films, role-playing games appeal because they engage the imagination. Interactivity is the crucial difference between role-playing games and traditional fiction. Whereas a viewer of a television show is a passive observer, a player at a role-playing game makes choices that affect the story. Such role-playing games extend an older tradition of storytelling games where a small party of friends collaborate to create a story. Most role-playing games are conducted like radio drama: only the spoken component is acted, and players speak out of character to describe action and discuss game mechanics. The genre of role-playing games in which players do perform their characters' physical actions is known as live-action roleplaying games (LARP).
While simple forms of role-playing exist in traditional children's games such as "cops and robbers", "cowboys and Indians" and "playing house", role-playing games add a level of sophistication and persistence to this basic idea. Participants in a role-playing game will generate specific characters and an ongoing plot. A consistent system of rules and a more or less realistic campaign setting in games aids suspension of disbelief. The level of realism in games ranges from just enough internal consistency to set up a believable story or credible challenge up to full-blown simulations of real-world processes.
Video games incorporating settings and game mechanics found in role-playing games are referred to as computer role-playing games, or CRPGs. Due to the popularity of CRPGs, the terms "role-playing game" and "RPG" have both to some degree been co-opted by the video gaming industry; as a result, traditional non-digital pastimes of this sort are increasingly being referred to as "pen and paper" or "tabletop" role-playing games, though neither pen and paper nor a table are strictly necessary.
History[edit | edit source]
- Main article: History of role-playing games
The assumption of roles was a central theme in some early 20th century activities such as the game Jury Box, mock trials, model legislatures, and "Theatre Games". In the 1960s, historical reenactment groups such as The Sealed Knot and the Society for Creative Anachronism began to perform "creative history" reenactments introducing fantasy elements, and in the 1970s fantasy wargames were developed, inspired by sword and sorcery fiction, in which each player controlled only a single unit, or "character". The earlier role-playing tradition was combined with the wargames' rule-based character representation to form the first role-playing games.
Dungeons & Dragons, published in 1974 by Dave Arneson's and E. Gary Gygax's TSR, was the first commercially available role-playing game. TSR marketed the game as a niche product. Gygax expected to sell about 50,000 copies total to a strictly hobbyist market. After establishing itself in boutique stores it developed a cult following.
Another early game was Traveller, designed by Marc Miller and first published in 1977 by Game Designer's Workshop. This was originally intended to be a system for playing generic space-opera-themed science-fiction adventures, in the same sense that Dungeons & Dragons was a system for generic fantasy adventures, but an optional suggested setting called the Third Imperium was detailed with the publication of following supplements and since then this setting has become strongly identified with the game. The changes in this setting over time, especially those involving the Fifth Frontier War as depicted in the Journal of the Travellers Aid Society, constitute the first arguable use of metaplot in a role-playing game.
Dungeons & Dragons was a subject of controversy in the 1980s when well-publicized opponents claimed it caused negative spiritual and psychological effects. Academic research has discredited these claims. Some educators support role-playing games as a healthy way to hone reading and arithmetic skills. Though role-playing has been accepted by many, others continue to object.
Due to the game's success, the term Dungeons & Dragons has sometimes been used as a generic term for fantasy role-playing games. TSR undertook legal action to prevent its trademark from becoming generic.
Games such as GURPS and Champions also served to introduce to role-playing games game balance between player characters; later, Vampire: The Masquerade and similar games served to emphasize storytelling and plot and character development over rules and combat. In recent years, rules stringency has been combined with literary techniques to develop games such as Dogs in the Vineyard that stress player input into a tense situation to give players moral agency in the course of the emerging story.
Competition from computer role-playing games and collectible card games led to a decline in the role-playing game industry. The financially troubled market leader TSR, Inc. was eventually purchased by Wizards of the Coast. To better cope with the economics of role-playing games, and to combat growing bootlegging problems, they introduced a new regime of open gaming, allowing other companies to publish D&D-compatible supplements. Meanwhile, self-defined "Indie roleplaying" communities arose on the internet, studying role-playing and developing several forms of role-playing game theory such as GNS Theory, and critical reflection on role-playing games has become popular in Scandinavia leading even to a yearly academic conference.
In thirty years the genre has grown from a few hobbyists and boutique publishers to an economically significant part of the games industry. Grass-roots and small business involvement remains substantial while larger projects have attracted several million players worldwide. Games industry leader Hasbro purchased Wizards of the Coast in 1999 for an estimated $325 million.
Varieties[edit | edit source]
In traditional role-playing games, participants usually sit around a table and conduct the game as a small social gathering. One participant, the "gamemaster" (GM), describes the setting and the actions of the inhabitants, while the others describe their characters' actions and responses. Players usually keep track of the details of their character(s) on paper character-sheets. The game system typically requires players to roll dice or employ some sort of randomizer to determine the outcome of some of their actions, most typically in combat or other stressful situations. These are also known as tabletop or paper and pencil role-playing games, to distinguish them from LARPs or computer role-playing games. Games that emphasize plot and character interaction over game mechanics and combat sometimes prefer the name storytelling game. These types of games tend to minimize or altogether eliminate the use of dice or other randomizing elements.
Electronic media[edit | edit source]
The challenge of producing a video game with which players can interact through role-playing, rather than simply a framework within which they can interact with each other, is yet to be answered. Within the computer industry, the term "RPG" instead refers to role-playing video games. It has so far proved impossible to recreate the flexibility, characterization, and depth of traditional roleplaying gaming.
Nonetheless, computers and other electronic media are not unknown in role-playing. Computer-assisted role-playing games blend elements of traditional role-playing with computer gaming. Computers are used for record-keeping and sometimes to resolve combat, while the participants generally make decisions concerning character interaction. This may include tools used to facilitate traditional pen & paper games to be played over the internet. Such tools may be nothing more than an IRC program, but there is also specialized software which includes built-in functions for dice, character sheets, mapping, and such (e.g., OpenRPG).
Some role-playing games use the internet as their medium. Online text-based role-playing games, in which players interact through a text-based medium rather than face-to-face, are popular on the internet. Some games are played in a turn-based fashion, whether play-by-mail games using email, or play-by-post games on internet forums. Others are played in a more real-time way, similar to offline games, over TELNET or IRC; these are known as MUDs. Finally, some people use internet chat clients or dedicated virtual tabletop software to play what would otherwise be a traditional RPG.
Massively multiplayer online role-playing games are also a popular form for computer role-play, as it combines the benefits of both computer role-playing games, and text-based role-playing games.
The upcoming Fourth Edition of Dungeons & Dragons is slated to make use of an online Digital Tabletop and numerous online tools to expedite play of the game as part of their D&D Insiders program.
Live-action[edit | edit source]
A live action role-playing game (LARP), is played more like improvisational theatre. Instead of describing their characters' actions, participants act out their characters' actions, often in costume. Further, the players' environment is used to represent the imaginary environment of the game world.
LARPs de-emphasize die rolls and rulebook references. Theatre-style live action role-playing games often use rock-paper-scissors or direct comparison of attributes to resolve conflicts symbolically, while some LARPS use physical combat with foam weapons. LARPs vary in size from a handful of players to several thousand, and in duration from a couple of hours to whole weeks.
Freeform[edit | edit source]
Freeform role-playing games are played with minimal or no formal rules and a greater focus on character or plot development, with the organizers as referees. Most free-form games are also live-action games, though they exist in both traditional and computer-assisted forms. Free-form games are most often seen at gaming conventions, though they are also sometimes run by gaming clubs or a dedicated team of independent GM's.
Game systems[edit | edit source]
- Main article: role-playing game system
The set of rules of a role-playing game is known as its game system; the rules themselves are known as game mechanics. Although there are game systems which are shared by many games, for example the d20 system, many games have their own, custom rules system.
Many role-playing games require the participation of a gamemaster (GM), who creates a setting for the game session, portrays most of its inhabitants, known as non-player character (NPCs) and acts as the moderator and rules arbitrator for the players. The rest of the participants create and play inhabitants of the game setting, known as player characters (PCs). The player characters collectively are known as a "party".
During a typical game session, the GM will introduce a story goal for the players to achieve through the actions of their characters. Frequently, this involves interacting with non-player characters, other denizens of the game world, which are played by the GM. Many game sessions contain moments of puzzle solving, negotiation, chases, and combat. The goal may be made clear to the players at the outset, or may become clear to them during the course of a game.
Some games, such as Polaris and Primetime Adventures, have distributed the authority of the GM to different players and to different degrees. This technique is often used to ensure that all players are involved in producing a situation that is interesting and that conflicts of interest suffered by the GM are avoided on a systemic level.
Games rules determine the success or failure of a character's actions. Many game systems use weighted statistics and dice rolls or other random elements. In most systems, the GM uses the rules to determine a target number though often the targets are determined in a more principled fashion. The player rolls dice, trying to get a result either more than or less than the target number, depending on the game system. Not all games determine successes randomly, however; an early and popular game without random elements is Amber Diceless Roleplaying Game by Erick Wujcik (1990).
Most systems are tied to the setting of the game they feature in. However, some universal role-playing game systems can be adapted to any genre. The first game to feature such a system, GURPS, is accompanied by a number of sourcebooks which allow games to be created in different genres. The d20 system, based on the older role-playing game Dungeons & Dragons, is used in many modern games such as Spycraft and the Star Wars Roleplaying Game.
In practice, even universal systems are often biased toward a specific style or genre and adaptable to others. For example, although the d20 system has sourcebooks for modern and futuristic settings, most published d20 system material stays within Dungeons & Dragons' combat-focused fantasy milieu.
Statistics[edit | edit source]
- Main article: Statistic (role-playing games)
Characters in role-playing games are usually represented by a number of statistics. Statistics are an abstract measure of how successful a character is likely to be at a class of tasks. Many game systems make distinctions between two key types of statistic: attributes and skills. Some, such as Burning Wheel and The Shadow of Yesterday include character motivations among these resources. These names are not at all consistent across different games, however.
Attributes are statistics all characters possess: strength, agility, and intelligence are common examples. These are ranked, often on a numeric scale, so that a player can gauge the character's capabilities. For example, a character's strength rating could be used to determine the likelihood that the character can lift a certain weight.
Skills are abilities that only some characters possess, such as negotiation, horseback riding, and marksmanship. Game systems often define skills that are genre-appropriate. For example, fantasy settings generally include magic skills, while science-fiction settings may contain spaceship piloting skills. However, some skills are found in several genres: a medieval rogue and a Wild West outlaw may both be very proficient at throwing knives.
Character motivations are things that the character will fight for. The Riddle of Steel's Spiritual Attributes, Burning Wheel's Beliefs and The Shadow of Yesterday's Keys are such features. They might reveal secrets the character has kept, aspirations they hold, or other characters they care about.
Character creation[edit | edit source]
- Main article: Character creation
Before play begins, players develop a concept of the role they would like to play in the game. They then use the game system's character creation rules to form a representation of their characters, in terms of game mechanics. The character's statistics are recorded on a special-purpose form called a character sheet. Some systems, such as that of Feng Shui, require characters to choose from a set of pre-built template characters with only a small amount of customization allowed. Others, like the d20 System, use character classes to define most character concepts, but allow some freedom with the statistics within those classes. Still others, such as GURPS, allow the player to create their own character concepts by freely assigning statistics.
Game statistics are not a substitute for a character concept. For example, one Wild West gunfighter may become a quick drawing revolver marksman, whereas another with similar game statistics could be a mounted rifle expert. Many systems take this into account, requiring statistics to be described, such as Dogs in the Vineyard's Traits and Possessions.
Template-based systems have the advantage of easy and quick character creation. It also provides the GM with the means to spend less time approving each character for play. The sacrifice is in flexibility and concept. Templates are essentially pre-built characters that are balanced against each other and pre-approved by the game companies.
Class-based systems give slightly more freedom but still require a player to choose from a set number of roles for their character. The character's powers are generally set by the character class, but the specific statistics are assigned by the player.
Character point-based systems allow complete freedom of concept. The downside is that, in many cases, character creation is much more complex, making the GM spend a lot more time examining and approving each character concept.
A few games allow free-form character creation. Characteristics are simply assigned as a player sees fit, and the final result is submitted to the GM or group for approval. Free-form character creation can be implemented in any game system, but is only rarely the prescribed or assumed method.
Campaign settings[edit | edit source]
- Main article: Campaign setting
Each game has a setting in which adventures and campaigns can take place. Usually a campaign setting is designed for a specific game (such as the Forgotten Realms setting for Dungeons & Dragons) or a specific genre of game (such as Medieval fantasy, World War 2, or outer space/science fiction adventure). There are numerous campaign settings available both in print and online. In addition to published campaign settings available for purchase, many game masters create their own.
Campaign settings exist for almost all genres of fiction; however, because the world's most popular role-playing game, Dungeons & Dragons, is part of the fantasy genre, fantasy is also the most played role-playing genre. RPGs of the fantasy genre are sometimes collectively called "Fantasy role-playing games" ("FRP").
The use of the term "world" in describing a campaign setting is loose, at best. Campaign worlds such as the World of Greyhawk detail entire cosmologies and time-lines of thousands of years, while the setting of a game such as Deadlands might only describe one nation within a brief segment of alternate history.
There are three primary types of campaign setting. The first exists in genre- and setting-specific role-playing games such as Warhammer or World of Darkness which exist specifically within one setting. The second type of setting is for games that have multiple settings such as modern Dungeons & Dragons or those that were developed specifically to be independent of setting such as GURPS. The final type of setting is developed without being tied to a particular game system. Typically this last sort are developed first as stand-alone works of fiction, which are later adapted to one or more role playing systems such as the Star Wars universe or Middle-earth.
The range of genres represented by published settings is vast, and includes nearly all genres of fiction. While role-playing's roots began in fantasy, science fiction has been used in settings such as Traveller, horror formed the baseline of the World of Darkness and Call of Cthulhu and Spycraft was based in modern-day spy thriller-oriented settings.
Publishers[edit | edit source]
- Main article: List of publishers of role-playing games
The largest publisher of role-playing games is Wizards of the Coast, a wholly owned subsidiary of Hasbro and publisher of Dungeons & Dragons, the D20 Star Wars RPG, and a number of smaller D20 titles. Most analysts give White Wolf the second largest industry market share, with the company itself claiming an average market share of 22% since 1991 , and the highest share in live-action games. Most role-playing game publishers are privately held companies and do not release sales figures, making precise estimates difficult. There has been no publicly available, systematic examination of point of sale data, limiting further estimates to a rough consensus between industry analysts whose conclusions are often controversial.
Market research conducted at Wizards of the Coast in 1999-2000 indicated that more than 1.5 million people played D&D on a monthly basis, and about 2 million people played all tabletop RPGs combined on a monthly basis. The success of the 3rd Edition of Dungeons & Dragons likely resulted in an increase in those totals. These figures for play are substantially larger than the figures for sales. In 2006, non-Dungeons & Dragons tabletop RPGs in the upper echelons of sales typically generated between five and ten thousand unit sales. Most commercially published RPGs are small press products, having less than a thousand units sold. The technology of print on demand is strongly used in RPGs, since it reduces run costs for the typical small print runs.
Business models[edit | edit source]
Role-playing games are produced under a variety of business models which succeed or fail based on those models' objectives. The smallest viable businesses are one person companies that produce games using print on demand and e-book technologies. Most of these companies provide a secondary income for their owner-operators. Many of these businesses employ freelancers, but some do not; their owners complete every aspect of the product. Larger companies may have a small office staff that manages publishing, brand development and freelance work. Guided by a developer/manager, freelancers produce most of a game line's content according to a central plan. Finally, a few companies (such Wizards of the Coast and Mongoose Publishing) maintain an in-house writing and design staff.
The standard business model for successful RPGs relies on multiple sales avenues:
- the so-called three-tier distribution model, under which the company sells products to distributors who in turn sell the products to retailers who sell to customers. This is traditionally divided into the hobby trade (used by the majority of print publishers) and the book trade (viable for a smaller number of companies able to absorb returns and provide sufficiently large print runs). The industry consensus is that hobby retail sales have greatly declined, with the balance of hobby games sales moving from RPGs to miniatures games and collectible card games
- direct sales via the internet, through an online retailer or through the company's own electric storefront.
- electronic sales and distribution, either without any physical product at all (e-books) or through a POD service. Once limited to small companies, this sales venue is now employed by publishers of all sizes.
- attendance at conventions and events; this is particularly common among live-action games.
Typically, RPG publishers have a very long life cycle once they manage to generate an initial successful game. TSR, the initial publisher of Dungeons & Dragons was an independent entity until 1997 when it was acquired by Wizards of the Coast, who was subsequently acquired by Hasbro in 1999. Many of TSR's contemporaries remain in business as independent publishers. The core design group of a publisher is often kept as a team within the new company for the purposes of continuity and productivity, though layoffs are common after such mergers and acquisitions. For example, Wizards of the Coast experienced multiple layoffs in the wake of acquiring Last Unicorn Games and after its own acquisition by Hasbro.
Publishing Associations[edit | edit source]
The Game Publishers Association (GPA) was formed to assist adventure game publishers. The stated goals of the GPA include facilitation of communication between game publishers and others in the gaming community and promotion of the adventure gaming industry as a whole. The GPA maintains a member database, publishes a mailing list, and offers a "press exploder" tool which issues press releases to game-related outlets. The association guidelines are published on the organization's website.
Indie publishers[edit | edit source]
- Main article: Indie role-playing game
Indie games are produced by a self-identified independent games community, or individuals who identify with that community. Generally they are self-published or published by a collective group of small publishers. The indie role-playing game community often produces games with signature and idiosyncratic character. Some indie publishers often eschew the three-tier distribution model and sell directly online and at conventions, or directly to stores, but many do use distribution services. The line between "indie" publishers and "mainstream" publishers is hazy at best. Varying definitions require that commercial, design, or conceptual elements of the game stay under the control of the creator, or that the game should just be produced outside of a corporate environment, or be distributed without dependence on the industry's three-tier retail structure.
Homebrew[edit | edit source]
Homebrew games are game systems designed by amateurs, most often for use by one gaming group. The term refers to a group's GM making or 'brewing' his or her unique set of rules to fit the campaign setting, or to appeal to the specific interests of the players. The term 'Homebrew' can describe anything from customizing an existing commercial product (by adding or changing a few minor rules), to creating an entire standalone system. Most long-running campaigns will eventually develop into a homebrew state, as "in house" rules, misunderstandings or selective application of rule-system accumulates.

|We all know that it is quite simple to watch videos saved on USB flash disk on home television if there is a USB port on TV. Just plug this disk into USB port and choose any videos you want to watch. However, it will become much more complicated when it comes to playing iTunes M4V files on Smart TV, LCD TV (Samsung, Philips, Sony, LG, etc.). This kind of problem will always occur and drive us crazy when we attempt to watch videos purchased from Apple iTunes Store on home television. What is M4V file? M4V file is a video format developed by Apple company. This file is well protected by Apple’s FairPlay Digital Rights Management (DRM), and it is the main cause of failing to play iTunes DRM M4V files on media players, such as Windows Media Player, VLC player, etc. To play M4V on TV through USB drive, we are required to remove DRM protection from M4V and convert it to TV compatible video formats. Thankfully, this post will introduce video formats that can be played on TV and ways on how to remove DRM of iTunes movies and play them on TV.
Part 1: What Kind of Video Files Can be Played on TV
Below are the video formats supported on WD TV HD Media Player, WD TV Live Streaming Media Player, WD TV Live Hub Media Center, WD TV Mini Media Player for your reference.
Video Formats Supported on the WD TV HD Media Player:
WMV9, AVI (MPEG1/2/4, XVID, AVC), H.264, MKV (h.264, x.264, AVC, MPEG1/2/4, VC-1), MOV (MPEG4, H.264), M2TS, TP, TS, MOV/MP4 (MPEG4, h.264), DVR-MS, VOB, etc.
Video Formats Supported on WD TV Live Streaming Media Player, WD TV Live Hub Media Center:
MPEG1/2/4, WMV9, AVI (MPEG4, Xvid, AVC), H.264, MKV, MOV (MPEG4, H.264), M2TS, TP, TRP, TS, MP4, ASF, VOB, etc.
Video Formats Supported on WD TV Mini Media Player:
AVI (Xvid, MPEG1/2/4), MPG/MPEG, VOB, MP4/MOV (MPEG4), RM or RMVB 8/9/10, etc.
Part 2: Play DRM M4V on TV with 2 Professional Programs
(1) With iTunes DRM Removal
There are a great many professional iTunes DRM Removal tools on the market. What I recommend most is Leawo TunesCopy. This program makes it possible to remove DRM from iTunes movie/iTunes TV show and acting as a video converter to convert M4V to the format of MP4, which is compatible format of several TV media players.
Main Features of Leawo TunesCopy:
Remove DRM from TV on iTunes and convert M4V files to common MP4.

One of the modern art world’s most celebrated and controversial photographers is coming to the Art Gallery of New South Wales.
Opening at the Art Gallery of New South Wales on October 27 and running until March 4, 2018, Robert Mapplethorpe: The Perfect Medium will showcase a selection of the provocative photographer’s works.
Former lover and friend of rock punk poet Patti Smith and documenter of the hidden lives of New York’s queer scene in the late ‘70s and ‘80s, Robert Mapplethorpe is an icon of the art scene.
Mapplethorpe was known for his search for the “perfection of form”, whether this was in the shape of a flower, the lines and shadows of a portrait or even the erotic and quite often confronting sexuality of his subjects.
He was a star who photographed other stars, with many of the world’s biggest celebrities lining up to have their picture taken by him: Debbie Harry, Isabella Rossellini, Philip Glass and fellow artists Cindy Sherman and Andy Warhol.
This comprehensive survey of Robert Mapplethorpe’s career features over 200 works, including floral still lifes, portraits, figure studies and erotic imagery – much of which makes this exhibition very much an 18+ show – showing the breadth and scope of Mapplethorpe’s talent and passions.
Robert Mapplethorpe: the perfect medium celebrates one of the most renowned photographers of the 20th century, an artist who understood the medium’s ability to alter perceptions and push boundaries.
For more information, including ticketing, head to the official Art Gallery of New South Wales website.
Robert Mapplethorpe: The Perfect Medium opens on October 27.

Former WWE talent Shaul Guerrero is returning to pro wrestling, and she's currently available for bookings.
Shaul is, you guessed it, the daughter of late, great WWE hero Eddie Guerrero. She left the company back in April 2014, and has worked for groups like Lucha Underground, (Booker T's) Reality Of Wrestling and AEW since, but she's ready to launch a comeback.
Her husband, WWE's very own Aiden English, was the one who broke the news on Twitter.
Shaul doesn't use social media as much as her hubby - her last tweet came in late-August following a brief cameo in AEW for their “Deadly Draw” women’s tag team tournament. Perhaps she'll become more active now she's pursuing a return to the big time.
During her time in WWE, Guerrero was known as Raquel Diaz and became the longest reigning FCW Divas Champion. She also won the 'Queen Of FCW' title.
Shaul married English in early-2016, so she's technically known as Shaul Rehwoldt. It's difficult to imagine she wouldn't either return to the Diaz surname or use her Guerrero heritage if she showed back up on WWE TV soon though. | entertainment |

July 9, 2023 | by bytessquad.com
Baldur’s Gate 3, the highly acclaimed role-playing video game developed by Larian Studios, has captured the attention of both veterans and newcomers to the genre alike. One of its standout features is the inclusion of a difficulty mode that seeks to replicate the intense and demanding experience of engaging with a Dungeon Master (DM) who relentlessly pushes players to their limits. This article delves into the immersive design philosophy behind Baldur’s Gate 3’s hardest difficulty setting and examines how it successfully emulates the challenges faced by adventurers in a traditional tabletop role-playing session.
Setting the Stage for Immersion:
Larian Studios has masterfully crafted a gaming experience that captures the essence of the tabletop role-playing genre, where players are pitted against a DM who dynamically adapts to their choices and constantly challenges their abilities. By introducing a formidable difficulty level, aptly named to convey the essence of an unforgiving DM, the developers have aimed to replicate the thrill and intensity of tabletop campaigns within the digital realm.
Baldur’s Gate 3’s hardest difficulty setting employs a multitude of mechanisms to ensure players face truly formidable encounters and trials. The game adjusts enemy strength, intelligence, and tactics to create an environment where even the most seasoned players must strategize, adapt, and rely on teamwork to overcome seemingly insurmountable odds. This level of difficulty encourages players to think outside the box, employ creative problem-solving, and embrace the true spirit of role-playing.
Dynamic Difficulty Scaling:
The game’s adaptive difficulty scaling system plays a pivotal role in simulating the ever-changing nature of a tabletop session. It ensures that each encounter poses a unique and formidable challenge, adjusting itself based on the players’ performance and choices. The enemies’ capabilities and resources are dynamically balanced, ensuring a constant sense of tension and unpredictability. This feature fosters a sense of immersion, as players must remain vigilant and prepared for any eventuality, just as they would when faced with an astute and relentless DM.
Consequences and Player Agency:
In line with the spirit of tabletop role-playing, Baldur’s Gate 3’s hardest difficulty incorporates a comprehensive consequence system that echoes the concept of player agency. Every decision carries weight and ramifications, and the game’s unforgiving nature ensures that even minor missteps can have far-reaching consequences. This emphasis on decision-making reinforces the sense of engagement and investment, further blurring the lines between the digital and tabletop experiences.
The Importance of Collaboration:
The developers at Larian Studios understand that cooperative play lies at the core of many memorable tabletop campaigns. In Baldur’s Gate 3’s hardest difficulty, fostering collaboration becomes paramount. By presenting players with immense challenges that demand effective communication, synergy, and shared tactics, the game encourages social dynamics akin to those found around a tabletop. Successfully conquering these hurdles requires a shared sense of purpose and a deep understanding of each character’s strengths and weaknesses.
Baldur’s Gate 3’s toughest difficulty setting effectively captures the essence of facing a Dungeon Master who relentlessly pushes players to their limits. Through its adaptive difficulty scaling, emphasis on consequence-driven decision-making, and promotion of cooperative play, the game successfully replicates the excitement, challenge, and immersion of traditional tabletop role-playing sessions. For those seeking an unparalleled test of skill and strategic thinking, this difficulty mode offers an experience akin to confronting the most cunning and relentless DMs. | entertainment |

In the past few months you have probably heard at least one person talking about the widely popular video game “Fortnite”. This game was first announced in 2011, but was not released until July 25, 2017. Since the time of release “Fortnite” has gained a wildly impressive 3.8 million players worldwide. “Fortnite” is a cooperative shooter mixed with a basic building game. Scavenging resources, building up your defenses, opening the doors and letting the bullets fly are key tactics to be the last man standing. Since Christmas break, “Fortnite” has spread like wildfire throughout the school.
At this point, you are probably asking yourself “What is Fortnite?” “This game is basically the Hunger Games with lots of guns and building,” junior Dakota Dickinson said.
Senior Noah Bond describes this game as “Call of Duty mixed with Minecraft.”
There are four different modes of play for this game, but the most acclaimed version is the four-person team mode called squad. In this mode, you are paired with three other players, either random users or your friends, as you all try to beat 99 other players.
“Squad mode is the best because it’s the original and the most fun,” sophomore Lincoln Murr said. However, just like all good things “Fortnite” is bound to die out.
Senior Ian McMichael predicts the game will come to an end like Pokemon or Modern Warfare 2 did. For now, “Fortnite” is still shining in the spotlight. | entertainment |

She said it was the same date and day in the year 2000 when she and Bollywood superstar Amitabh Bachchan launched the DD Kashir channel.
She said when the plane touched ground at the Srinagar airport, it was a joyous moment for her to see the beautiful Valley of Kashmir again.
She said Kashmiri is ever hospitable to the visiting persons from mainland India and benevolent. Mesmerized by the beauty of Kashmir she said it is a land of perfect solace to even strangers.
Staying in the houseboat in Golden lake area of world famous Dal Lake ( King of Sea Group of Houseboats) is new experience to me said Sharma.
Her visit to Valley comes in the wake of the shooting of song by Mumbai based Music Company “A R Music studios. The company is shooting a video album titled “Mere Ali Maula Ali”. which is based on revival of Sufi culture of Kashmir.
The song is written by Nitishwar Kumar, directed by Jaan Nissar Lone and produced by Rani Hazarika. The shooting of the song is going on in full swing at different locations of Kashmir.
This album is a Sufi-influenced composition. Versatile playback Singer Richa Sharma, who has many popular Bollywood sufi songs to her name has lent her voice to this album.
She said she had to monitor whether the shooting of song was going on smoothly and to shoot some shot, she will also herself feature in the song .
She said Kashmir is beautiful, “We can’t take our eyes off this scenic beauty”.
She also expressed her happiness for being a part of this song . “Every thing has its destiny and so has this song. Everything fell into place from dates, shooting and even coming to this place. I feel so blessed and happy. This is a Sufi based song which will have all elements of Sufis related shrines in it So being a part of this I am feeling honoured,” she said. She said I can assure you that it will be an unusual album and it will be a blast for the audience.” | entertainment |

The World Before Time is gone. Shattered. Consigned to an oblivion no-one thought possible. The metallic core of that ill-fated world was hurled through the cosmos, the God-King Sigmar clinging desperately to its sigmarite surface. Aeons passed, until the core caught the attention of the great drake Dracothion; it was he who rescued Sigmar, and taught him the secrets of the Mortal Realms - connected by Realmgates and peacefully populated for many years.
But even in this utopia, Chaos would find a way to corrupt and distort everything. The Age Of Chaos gradually turned life in the realms into hell. Embracing wisdom instead of strength, Sigmar retreated to the Celestial Realm and began assembling the greatest mortal warriors, steeping them in the magic of the stars and instilling them with absolute divinity.
The Stormcast Eternals, as Sigmar named them, are ready. Sigmar’s storm is lined up to unleash its fury on the forces of chaos. The realms will tremble and the skies will scorch as the legions of the Dark Gods feel the blistering rage of the Stormhosts!
The Age Of Sigmar has arrived.
Warhammer Age of Sigmar is a fantastic starter set for any and all fans of Warhammer! Detailing the first incursions of the Realmgate Wars, this box set contains everything you need to begin your adventures in the Age Of Sigmar. There’s a stunning amount of goodies contained inside - you get:
Forty-seven incredible Citadel miniatures (no, really, forty-seven) to start off your collection, including:

Last Thursday we got to screen the film Circumstance (2011) at LUPride’s Movie Night as part of this month’s topic, LGBTQI+ and Religion (in collaboration with Amnesty International Student Group Leiden and ISN). Circumstance is a beautiful and sensual drama which revolves around the relationship between two schoolgirls, rebellious Atafeh and shy Shireen, in Tehran (Iran), and how it is affected by Atafeh’s brother’s obsession with Shireen and him turning to religion after overcoming his drug addiction. Blessed with clean and meaningful dialogues and music, this film was the perfect way to end the month after LUPride’s lecture on LGBTQI+ Issues and Islam, which will be followed by LGBTQI+ and Judaism on April 3rd.
After the movie, we all went on to enjoy a few drinks at our beloved Gaycafé De Roze Beurs, a safe space to speak, dance and meet new and interesting people! Thank you to everyone who came and enjoyed this movie with us, and thank you for making the last event of the month of March a success! All our events are open to anyone who wishes to come and make new friends!
Our next movie night will be held on April 26th and will be dedicated to the topic we will be discussing in April – intersectionality. As the previous movie nights, it will be accompanied by a lecture on the same topic, ‘Why is gay not the new black – Racism in the LGBTQI+ community,’ as part of the LUPride and Amnesty International Lecture Series. | entertainment |

I came across this behind the scenes shot of a music video that I produced and directed sometime in 2018. We shot at 1087 Studios in Nashville, TN. The band experienced offers from Sony, and the music video was scheduled to be distributed by them on a "back end points" agreement, but ultimately the band had some internal direction disputes and changed members shortly after, so the music video was never used.
Music video production is something I enjoy because it allows creativity and organization to flourish. I also enjoyed working with a band, director of photography, and studio that I hadn't previously worked with on this music video because it really added a feel of mystery and anticipation to the shoot. Saying "trust me" to a group of people who don't know you or your professional experience is always a gamble, and in the end, the band loved the final result and I was paid to shoot more footage of them later.
The original music video was unfortunately destroyed and only exists in our memories, but I will always look back on my first "big shoot" in Nashville fondly, and I hope to do many more! - Other Nick | entertainment |

Aquinas Institute of Theology invited the Youth Sing Praise musical theatre and religious retreat group to utilize chapel space for the rehearsal of scenes from Jesus Christ Superstar on Thursday, July 17th. Immediately following the rehearsal, the group then traveled to America's Center, where they performed selections before attendees of the 37th Annual Pastoral Musicians Convention.
Youth Sing Praise is based in Lebanon and Belleville, Illinois, and has existed for 32 years as an annual 9-day theatre camp and spiritual retreat that culminates with a performance (like Jesus Christ Superstar) before an audience of 2,000-5,000 people. Vocally and theatrically talented teenagers from across the country audition each year for parts in YSP. Selected teens then learn and rehearse their roles during camp before the culminating performance at the end of the retreat.
"They love their time at Youth Sing Praise, because we really do consider ourselves to be a family," said YSP Board President Erin Hammond. "They are very excited to be able to perform as a group and just be together."
Brad Behrnan, Artistic Director for YSP, explains that they put on a full youth retreat experience combined with a fully-staged faith-based performance.
"We are very happy to have the opportunity to share our music with the Annual Pastoral Musicians' Convention today," said Behrman. | entertainment |

Then play the game.
Britton Peele reviews the design process:
Start by drawing the art that will go into your game. This was by far the trickiest part for me because I’m a terrible graphic artist in every conceivable way. However, the game’s tools are easy to use, and you can also use assets from other sources, including pre-made games and a variety of stamps …. You end up creating the background and all objects that the game uses. This includes drawing separate frames for any animation you might require.
… Next, you’ll probably want to design how the game is actually played, which can be complex, yet easy to understand. Everything operates on if-then statements. For instance, you can tell the game, “If the balloon object is tapped, display the balloon popping animation.” Then, “If all balloons are popped, the player wins the game.”
You’ll probably also want to fill you game with music and sound effects ….
– Britton Peele @ The Daily Toreador
I haven’t played with WarioWare D.I.Y., but it looks like a nice little system for bringing game design — including the principles of structured programming — to the masses. | entertainment |

Fans of sizzling steak, live music and, of course, terrific Texas wine will have much to enjoy, celebrate, and toast at the 10th annual Texas Reds Steak & Grape Festival in Historic Downtown Bryan, Texas. This year’s festival, to be held Friday-Sunday, September 23-25, 2016, will attract visitors from across the Lone Star State (and beyond) and feature over 30 Texas wineries, numerous craft beer breweries, more than 30 bands, talented artists, the annual steak cook-off, a Kids Zone, and a variety of food vendors. The Saturday night steak dinner, which was revived to great (and sold out) success last year, will return thanks to a partnership with J. Cody’s Steaks and Barbecue in Bryan.
Live music by Texas artists is a cornerstone of Texas Reds. To celebrate the tenth anniversary, officials confirm that festival favorite Ray Wylie Hubbard (“Snake Farm,” “Screw You We’re from Texas”) will return for a performance on Saturday night. On Sunday afternoon, Texas Reds will welcome Grammy Winner Rodney Crowell. A native of Crosby, Texas, Crowell is best-known for his numerous country music hits including “After All This Time” and “I Couldn’t Leave You If I Tried.” A full schedule of live music acts will be announced in the coming weeks.
But that’s not all! A number of new elements are being added to the festival this year including a Thursday night kick-off dinner at Messina Hof Winery and Resort and a steak and egg brunch on Sunday at 11 AM.
Bryan Mayor Jason Bienski states, “Texas Reds is terrific for Bryan because it provides a direct economic impact to our city and raises awareness of all Bryan has to offer. Furthermore, it supports the continuous growth of our much beloved Downtown Bryan community. Festival attendance is comprised of visitors from over 100 different Texas counties and 17 states. We look forward to celebrating the tenth anniversary of Texas Reds!”
Sandy Farris, executive director of the Downtown Bryan Association, states, “I’m probably speaking on behalf of everyone on our staff and all of our wonderful volunteers when I say, ‘I can’t believe it’s been ten years!’ We are so excited to continue building on the success of the festival. We were worried it was going to be hard to top last year’s success. But with the addition of the Messina Hof kick-off dinner, the return of Ray Wylie Hubbard, and the Sunday morning brunch, we will create even more lasting Texas Reds memories together. We can’t wait to ‘Toast Our Tenth’ with everyone at Texas Reds!”
Admission to the festival is free. Tickets must be purchased for Wine Tastings, Beer Tastings, the Saturday Night Steak Dinner, the Messina Hof kick-off dinner, the new Sunday Brunch and Kids Zone participation. All tickets will go on sale on August 1. Tickets will also be available at the festival however, the prices are lower for tickets purchased in advance.

Yamaha's RX-V750 audio/video receiver delivers high-quality, future-ready performance with ultimate surround processing--all at a remarkably affordable price. The RX-V750 offers the convenience of DVD-Audio/SACD-ready analog inputs alongside the latest 7.1-channel surround formats, 192 kHz/24-bit digital-to-analog conversion for all channels, and premium Yamaha sound technologies. Finished in traditional black, the receiver will disappear in your darkened living room during movies.
When hooked up with the digital-audio output from a DVD-Video player or digital satellite receiver, the 100 watts-per-channel receiver (20 to 20,000 Hz into 8 ohms with 0.06 percent THD) handles standard 5.1-channel surround decoding for both major formats, Dolby Digital and DTS. In addition, the receiver processes Dolby Digital EX, Dolby Pro Logic IIx, DTS 96/24, DTS Neo:6, DTS-ES Matrix 6.1, and DTS-EX Discrete 6.1. The extended-surround formats (including Yamaha's own) create even more expansive soundfields through the use of an additional rear pair of surround speakers, resulting in 7 discrete, full-range signals in addition to the LFE (low-frequency effects) channel: front left/right, mid-surround left/right, rear-surround left/right, and a front-center channels.
A key benefit from a Yamaha receiver, of course, is Yamaha's proprietary signal processing, including Cinema DSP (digital soundfield processing), which creates aural "imaging" that not only makes your home sound like a theater, but also sounds better than most movie theaters. Based on a wealth of measured data in real studios and halls, Cinema DSP is designed to bring out the full potential of movie sound mixes, reproducing them the way directors and sound engineers intended.
Non-Dolby Digital and DTS sources can benefit from surround processing, too. With enhanced directional steering over standard four-channel Dolby Pro Logic, Dolby Pro Logic IIx provides 5.1 channels of surround processing from any stereo source--whether that's a TV broadcast, VHS tapes, or your favorite CDs, cassettes, and LPs.
And, when you're listening to multichannel presentations late at night, you'll appreciate Silent Cinema, which simulates 5.1-channel listening through a pair of ordinary 2-channel headphones (not included). Silent Cinema uses unique parameters for each soundfield to ensure accurate headphone representations of each soundfield.
DVD-Audio and SACD can each deliver up to 6 channels of discrete, full-frequency sound at greater-than-CD resolution (in the case of DVD-A, that means 24 bits, 192 kHz sampling rate versus 16 bits, 44.1 kHz for CD). In stereo or surround, the sound from
DVD-Audio and SACD is packed with detail, yet smoother and sweeter from than the sound from even the best standard CD players.
This receiver also comes fully equipped with Yamaha's YPAO system, which uses a small microphone (supplied) to analyze the acoustics of your room and, based on the results, make intelligent adjustments of various speaker parameters to provide the optimum sound at your primary listening position.
The receiver offers 7 stereo audio/video input connections (all with composite-/S-video, 2 with component-video), 1 stereo phono input (with ground), 1 set of multichannel (7.1) analog inputs for your DVD-Audio or SACD player, 6 fixed and assignable digital-audio inputs (great for DSS, CD, laserdisc, gaming consoles, or minidisc), and front-panel input connections for your camcorder or other spontaneous hookup. The receiver's video circuitry is high-definition ready, too (60 MHz bandwidth for the component-video circuits), and it will upconvert composite- to S-video and S-video to component-video (720p/1080i) to simplify TV hookups.
For outputs, you get 3 standard AV outputs (stereo RCA audio with composite- and S-video) and a set of 7.1-channel preamplifier outputs, in addition to a stereo RCA (left/right) Zone 2 line-level output. Speaker outputs for all 7 main channels are sturdy binding-post type (including the left/right B Speakers set), while the Zone 2 speakers (which do double duty as "presence" speaker outputs for Yamaha DSP algorithms) feature clip-type terminals.
Last, but certainly not least, the RX-V750 benefits from Yamaha's Digital ToP-ART (Total Purity Audio Reproduction Technology) build philosophy. The culmination of the best digital engineering and design possible, it brings together several key elements to create the best-sounding, easiest-to-use A/V components available.
What's in the Box
Receiver, remote control, an AM loop antenna, an indoor FM antenna, an optimizer microphone, and a user's manual.
Yamaha RX V750 is a 7.1 Channel Receiver with an astounding array of Home Theater functions, including YPAO acoustic customization, Dolby Digital Pro Logic IIx compatibility, 700W (100W x 7) power, Quad Field CINEMA DSP and 29 surround programs | entertainment |

Unveiling the Truth: Do Outdoor TV Covers Work?
In today's digital age, outdoor entertainment has become a popular trend. Whether it's a backyard movie night or watching the big game under the open sky, having an outdoor TV can transform your outdoor space into an entertainment haven. However, as much as we love enjoying our favorite shows and movies in the great outdoors, it's essential to protect our precious outdoor TVs from the elements. That's where outdoor TV covers come into play. In this article, we'll explore the effectiveness of outdoor TV covers and why ACPCovers.com stands out as the ultimate choice for your outdoor TV protection needs.
The Importance of Outdoor TV Covers
Why Do You Need an Outdoor TV Cover?
Before diving into the effectiveness of outdoor TV covers, it's crucial to understand why they are essential for your outdoor entertainment setup. Outdoor TVs, although designed to withstand some exposure to the elements, are not invincible. Rain, UV rays, dust, and extreme temperatures can all take a toll on your TV's performance and longevity. Without proper protection, your outdoor TV investment could be at risk of damage.
Here's where outdoor TV covers come in. These covers are specifically designed to shield your TV from various outdoor hazards, extending its lifespan and ensuring a consistently clear picture and audio quality. But do they really work as advertised?
The Science Behind Outdoor TV Covers
How Do Outdoor TV Covers Work?
To determine the effectiveness of outdoor TV covers, it's essential to understand their construction and purpose. Outdoor TV covers are typically made from durable, weather-resistant materials such as heavy-duty polyester or vinyl. These materials are chosen for their ability to repel moisture, block UV rays, and resist damage from wind, dust, and debris.
Water Resistance: Outdoor TV covers feature a waterproof design that prevents rain, snow, and moisture from seeping through and damaging your TV. Look for covers with reinforced seams and waterproof zippers to ensure complete protection.
UV Protection: UV rays from the sun can cause screen fading and other damage over time. High-quality outdoor TV covers are UV-resistant, providing a barrier against harmful sunlight.
Dust and Debris Shield: Outdoor environments can be dusty, and debris can accumulate on your TV's screen and vents. A good cover keeps your TV clean and ensures optimal ventilation.
Temperature Regulation: Outdoor TV covers also play a role in temperature regulation. They help maintain a more stable temperature around your TV, preventing overheating or freezing in extreme weather conditions.
ACPCovers.com: The Ultimate Outdoor TV Cover
When it comes to choosing the right outdoor TV cover, ACPCovers.com stands head and shoulders above the competition. Here's why:
Custom Fit: ACPCovers.com offers a wide range of outdoor TV covers tailored to fit various TV brands and models. This ensures a snug and secure fit, leaving no room for elements to sneak in.
Premium Materials: ACPCovers.com uses top-quality materials like 600D polyester fabric with a PVC coating. This provides excellent durability and weather resistance, ensuring long-lasting protection for your TV.

Stylish Options: ACPCovers.com offers a variety of styles and colors, allowing you to choose a cover that complements your outdoor décor.
Real-Life Benefits of Outdoor TV Covers
Extended TV Lifespan
Outdoor TV covers are more than just protective shields; they're insurance for your TV's longevity. With the right cover in place, you can expect your outdoor TV to last significantly longer, saving you money on costly repairs or replacements.
Maintained Picture and Audio Quality
When your TV is exposed to the elements, its screen can become dull, and its audio quality compromised. Outdoor TV covers keep your screen clear and your speakers functioning optimally, ensuring a consistently high-quality viewing experience.
Savings on Maintenance

Some online casinos today are non-downloadable (also known as instant flash casino), but equally as many will have a download client available.
If you have the option, we recommend downloading. When you do go ahead and download the software onto your computer at an online casino, one of the main advantages that you will notice is that you generally have more game options available. In other words, the instant flash casino that you may have been playing at may only have 16 to 20 blackjack games available, but the downloadable version of the same casino may have 40 to 50 different blackjack games available.
If you download blackjack onto your PC or laptop, it means that you will be able to launch the games directly from your desktop without actually having to go online and visit the main casino website every time you want to play. You may also find that the quality of the downloadable blackjack is somewhat better than instant flash blackjack quality, although most flash technology is equally as impressive these days.
If you download blackjack and other games onto your computer, you will need to register an account with the casino that you are trying to play at. Installing this software onto your computer usually only takes a couple of minutes and these downloadable casino programs generally come with built in support, especially when downloading casinos which are powered by Microgaming or Playtech , or by various other leading software providers.
Downloadable Blackjack generally offers a smooth overall experience and you can enjoy some amazing graphics with realistic animations and equally realistic sound effects. You can even hear the sounds of the cards being shuffled and then drawn from the shoe. You can also often hear dealer’s voices, chips being thrown onto the table and other entertaining sounds of the casino.
Most online casinos with downloadable blackjack have some great varieties available for you and you will find that some of the blackjack games will be connected to progressive jackpot networks. Progressive Blackjack usually requires an additional side bet per hand to be in with a chance of scooping the accumulating prize pool.
Just remember to check that the Blackjack software that you are trying to download onto your computer does in fact come from a trusted/verified publisher. It’s generally free to download blackjack onto your computer and you only really need to make a deposit when you want play Blackjack at the casino in the real money mode. In the meantime (prior to making a deposit) you can practice playing blackjack in the free play demo mode using fun chips. | entertainment |

Cast: Sai Pallavi, Varun Tej
Fidaa is a Telugu romance film written and directed by Sekhar Kammula. It features Varun Tej and Sai Pallavi in the lead roles which marks the latter’s debut in Telugu. Principal photography commenced in August 2016. Wikipedia
Thirteen years after making Anand, filmmaker Sekhar Kammula returns to familiar ground with Fidaa. The film is packed with relatable characters, a lead pair whose sparkling chemistry is bound to put a smile on your face, and a landscape which takes your breath away just by its sheer beauty and simplicity. In fact, Sekhar Kammula stages all this stuff so well in first half of Fidaa that it makes you wonder where this filmmaker had been hiding all these years.
Fidaa is the story of Bhanumati, a young girl from Banaswada, located in the hinterlands of Telangana, who dreams about living amidst people who are close to her heart. Her ageing father and elder sister Renuka mean the world to her, and she wouldn’t trade her life for anything else. Elsewhere in the US, Varun (Varun Tej), an aspiring neurosurgeon, lives with his elder brother and a kid brother. Soon, Varun sends his elder brother to Banaswada to meet Renuka after he spots her profile on a matrimony site. The rest of the story is about what happens when Varun and his family come to meet Bhanumati and Renuka.

The game is an evolution of Shigeru Miyamoto's desire to see the Super Nintendo original revisited in 3D. Instead of a simple remake, Nintendo took the idea and crafted a whole new game that takes place in the same world but many years after A Link to the Past with a whole new Link.
The game is set for release this November but Nintendo just upped the mystery of the new game by revealing that the game hides a new Triforce currently being referred to as the Shadow Triforce (which is visible in the games logo). This new Triforce is directly related to the second world Link visits in the game which has been revealed as a whole new world and not the Dark World (or Golden Land) from the SNES game. You can expect much fan speculation on the implications of this new revelation and how it will relate to the entire series. Between this and Wind Waker HD, Zelda fans are sure to be very happy this fall. | entertainment |

While these two disciplines have always felt like two distinct entities each as huge as planets, I have sought to find a satisfying way to bridge the gap towards holistic visual identity.
In using music in service to art, I am focusing on creating visual interpretations to different tunes. In response to certain musical idols and favorite pieces, I have created visual pieces that seek to enter into the music and have as direct an experience with the two as possible. Sometimes working in segments as the music presents, other times as an over all impression of the piece. . This is a body and soul proposition; often hypnotic and lyrical in nature, ever in search of that synergy
In my drawings most often the lines are smooth and lyrical as in the fluid nature of a sax improvisation. In paintings such as the series "Round Midnight" the blues, greens, and blacks are used to capture the mood of the haunting smoky melody.
Kandinsky said "Lend your ears to music, open your eyes to painting...and just stop thinking. Just ask yourself whether the work has enabled you to 'walk about' into a hitherto unkown world. If the answer is yes, what more do you want?" | entertainment |

Generations have grown up with manga and anime. Anime may come from a very different culture and language. However, there is a common ground we’ve found very easily: an infatuation with cats. Anime cat names are the perfect fusion of these two aspects!
There are countless anime shows of various thematics, targeted at different age groups and preferences. We are sure you have your own list of personal favorites. Since it is absolutely impossible to cover all of them in one article, we will use this opportunity to remind you of a couple of the most popular shows, old and new.
We will start with Naruto. Then we will remind you of Voltron and the adventures the team had exploring the space. There is also going to be a mention of One Punch Man, Yu-Gi-Oh!, Attack on Titan and Death Note. We hope you will like our selection and that there is the perfect name for your beloved feline somewhere in these lists. Enjoy!
Cat Names Based on Characters from Naruto
Generations grew up with this show. Naruto is probably one of the most famous anime and manga in history, the brainchild of the manga artist Masashi Kishimoto, and it has left its mark on generations of teenagers (and grown-ups) since it was first aired in 1999.
Let us remind you of some of your favorite characters and inspire you to find the perfect moniker for your little ninja.
- Naruto Uzumaki. As the protagonist of the series, he deserves the first place in the list. He is the jinchuriki of Kurama, the Nine-Tailed Fox. Even though being a Tailed Beast host made people shun him, he remains optimistic and cheerful. And of course, he never gives up. Naruto is a perfect name for a cat with a yellow coat and a buoyant personality.
- Sasuke. Sasuke Uchiha is Naruto’s rival and frenemy. He is cool, intelligent, and prefers to keep to himself. If your cat is a notorious vermin killer who keeps most humans at a distance, maybe Sasuke would be his favorite character in the show.
- Sakura. If your cat has an unusually big forehead and an explosive temperament, you will surely find a lot of resemblance with Sakura Haruno. Although her character was pretty annoying at the beginning of the show, she grew up to be a remarkable fighter and healer. Every ugly duckling grows up to become a swan, so this character might inspire you if you have a scrawny little girl and no idea for a name.
- Kakashi Hatake. A true badass. His name means “Scarecrow.” His full face was rarely seen in the show because he is an old-school ninja. He is very easy going and detached but shows remarkable skills when push comes to shove. Also, he is always late in the most charming ways. We would say he has a true feline character.
- Orochimaru. The main villain in the show, pictured as a diabolical genius. If you have a cat who has an unhealthy obsession with snakes, look no further.
- Itachi. Sasuke’s older brother, an infamous ronin who used to be the child prodigy of the Uchiha clan. A complex, mysterious, and above all tragic character who taught us so much about family and sacrifice.
- Madara. There is no Uchiha without Madara. One of the most powerful warriors in the Naruto universe, he is ancient and has seen more than those hot-headed, young ninja wannabes can ever imagine. If you happen to have adopted a senior cat who has lived his life on the rough side, this is a good name to choose. Check out our article on how to adopt a cat.
- Hinata. Hinata of the Hyuga clan is a shy and loving girl with a gentle character. Her love for Naruto is what kept her going in the rough world of shinobi. This is a lovely name for a gentle and loyal cat who will do anything to protect her family.
- Shikamaru. A member of the Team 10; a highly intelligent and gifted shinobi… but horribly lazy. A perfect name for a lazy cat that rarely shows his true awesomeness. Have you ever wondered how much sleep do cats need?
- Choji. He is a chubby shinobi sensitive about his appearance. All hell breaks loose if someone dares to call him fat, but he also has a sensitive and loving side. If you have a chubby buddy with a loving nature, name him after this awesome character.
- Jiraiya. Jiraiya is Naruto’s teacher and (spoiler alert!) godfather. He is known as the “Toad Sage” and has a great love for erotic literature. Your cat is a loverboy and a dedicated frog hunter? Look no further!
Cat Names Based on Characters from Voltron
Although “Voltron: Defender of the Universe” was an American adaptation of several Japanese anime television series, it is considered one of the classic anime shows and was the most popular children’s TV series at the time. Maybe you are old enough to remember it, but if that is not the case, definitely put it on your “Must watch” list!
Every pilot in the crew controls one part of the super robot (Voltron): the Black, Red, Green, Blue, and Yellow Lion. How can there possibly be a cooler inspiration for a cat name?
- Akira. He is the commanding officer of the Voltron Force who pilots the Black Lion. He is quiet and wise. This is a perfect name for a black beauty.
- Isamu. Isamu Kurogane pilots the Red Lion that forms the right arm of Voltron. He is tall and slender, with a great sense of humor and adventurous nature. If you have a ginger buddy with a lively character, this is an option to consider.
- Hiroshi. He pilots the Green Lion and is the youngest and smallest of the crew. A green-eyed, outgoing and smart cat would be proud to carry his name.
- Tsuyoshi. He pilots the Yellow Lion. He is a strong and rugged man with a tough attitude and a temper. His only weaknesses are small children, puppies, and a good meal. If you own a cat with similar traits, don’t be afraid of this cool, although tongue-breaking name.
- Takashi. He was the original pilot of the Blue Lion. He was the heroic and able pilot with a very turbulent past. If you decided to open your heart to a quiet but affectionate rescue, this just might be the perfect name to choose.
Cat Names Based on Characters from One Punch Man
How would you feel if you were a superhero with absolute power defeating all your enemies with just one punch? One Punch Man is a comical and unusual show that you definitely need to watch with your cat.
- Saitama. The main character of the show is a 25-year-old man who is completely bald (but don’t say anything; he’s sensitive about it). He’s so powerful he can destroy any enemy with a single punch. If you have a Sphynx or another hairless breed, here is an inspirational name.
- Genos. A cyborg who calls Saitama his “sensei,” or teacher. He’s one of the few people who know how strong Saitama really is. A name for a loyal and serious cat.
- Terrible Tornado. One of the female superheroes. She is a tiny young woman often seen as a harmless and fragile little girl. But when she unleashes her fury, everyone runs in the opposite direction. This is a good name for a female cat of small proportions but with a gift of fearlessness.
- Superalloy Blackluster. Might be a mouthful, but if your feline friend is a muscular black Adonis, this name is definitely a perfect match.
- Lightning Max. A karate prodigy clad in a sports outfit. You have a tireless kitten with a serious case of zoomies? Show your appreciation of the show and name him after this speedy fellow.
- Blue Fire. He burns his enemies with flamethrowers if his kung fu skills are not enough of a deterrent. How about naming your Russian Blue after him?
- Hyottoko. He is a typical Japanese hero with a funny outfit. If your cat is a little thief given away by a mask marking on his sneaky face, this is a perfect moniker.
Cat Names Based on Characters from Yu-Gi-Oh!
This famous anime tells the story of Yugi Mutou, a young boy who is a passionate gamer but is often bullied by his peers. In its time, it was probably a show every child could identify with.
It also features the spirit of a mysterious pharaoh. This mish-mash of Ancient Egypt, Japanese pop-culture, and geekiness provides many inspirations for unique cat names, don’t you think?
- Yugi Motou. The king of games. He wears the Millenium Puzzle that carries the spirit of the ancient pharaoh he calls Yami—a Japanese term which means “darkness.”
- Seto Kaiba. A genius who runs his own multimillion-dollar company at a young age. A name for smart cats with icy blue eyes.
- Bakura. A complex character. He’s usually kind-hearted but can become dangerous if the spirit of the tomb robber inside of him chooses to appear. He has fluffy white hair. You may find our list of white cat names interesting.
- Anzu Mazaki or Tea Gardner. She is Yugi’s best friend. She has a wonderful personality and is always ready to help and support her friends. She has a thing for bad boys, though.
- Shadi. Shadi is shady. He is actually a spirit guarding the Millennium Stone for the pharaoh. He seems dangerous but has good intentions. You always wondered what your cat is all about? Beware, maybe he is a spirit from the other world sent here to protect you.
- Mai. Mai was a Blackjack dealer and a very able player. A perfect name for a gorgeous cat girl who prefers to spend her time alone.
Cat Names Based on Characters from Attack on Titan
Attack on Titan is a relatively new show, but with a gorgeous style and a very deep message, it quickly shot to the top of the chart. Many have speculated that the whole idea is an allegory of the anxiety young people feel in modern society, and the author said it is a story of growing up and all the difficulties it carries.
We highly recommend that you watch it in good company and see what it is all about for yourself. The best company being, naturally, your cat.
- Eren. Eren Yeager is the main protagonist of the series. He is a brave and dedicated boy with a tragic background. He saw his mother being eaten by a Titan, which made him dedicate his life to fighting those monsters. However, he soon gains the ability to change into a Titan himself which takes the fight to a whole new level. All of the fighters in this show have special gear that helps them jump around rooftops and perform remarkable stunts. A parkouring cat should be a perfect candidate for this name.
- Mikasa. A faithful friend to Eren and a quiet but brave girl always fighting by Eren’s side. The author said he got the inspiration for this character’s name from a Japanese battleship. She is also of Asian descent, so this might be a nice name for an Asian cat breed.
- Armin. At the beginning of the show, Armin looks like a fragile boy who won’t be of much use to the team, but with time he grows into a ferocious fighter with a brilliant mind. No one expected that sickly little kitten to grow up and become the boss of the house, except for you. Extra points if he has a yellow coat.
- Levi. Do you have a tiny cat who intimidates everyone despite his stature? This is the name for him.
Cat Names Based on Characters from Death Note
This show can be a bit bizarre but has a very clear message: absolute power corrupts absolutely. Your cat would argue that this is only a human weakness because she has all the power in the household but still manages to be cute and loveable.
- Light Yagami (Kira). The protagonist of this show who finds the Death Note, and gradually starts using it for his own agenda instead of his original mission to help justice prevail. He is a young intellectual with a tendency towards a god complex… Does that god complex bit remind you of anyone you know?
- L. The eccentric genius who likes to squat on a chair instead of sitting and eats copious amounts of sweets. Oh, and he is the greatest detective ever.
- Ryuk. The Shinigami who started all this mess. He was bored, so he decided to drop one of his Death Notes into the human world just to see what happens. He is a creature of eerie appearance and a nihilistic attitude. This name fits a black cat.
- Rem. Another Shinigami in the series. She doesn’t share Ryuk’s amusement with the human world at all. She looks like the love child of a skeleton and Edward Scissorhands.
- Gelus. A Shinigami so desperately in love with a human that he even gave his life for her. He was small and doll-like, made of patchwork. A calico cat with tricolor fur and devoted character is the perfect candidate for this name, don’t you think?
- Midora. A Shinigami with a very unusual appearance. She is very large and resembles a slug with short limbs. Although she is very obscure as a character, a Munchkin cat that is a bit on the chubby side can be a good candidate for this name.
Cat Names Based on Characters from Ghost In the Shell
This brilliant show fiddles with the idea of a possible future where cybernetics are a major part of everyday human life. It has a post-cyberpunk, dystopian setting that discusses risks and possible problems with a future where flesh and blood are almost entirely exchanged for steel.
- Major Motoko Kusanagi. There is hardly a more badass female lead in anime. Kusanagi is a cyborg with formidable strength and intelligence. Agility, wit, and a sexy outfit you could say that she is the Catwoman of the anime world.
- Batou. Kusanagi’s partner and friend. He is a robust and serious officer who loves his dog. The character designer for the series said that Batou’s appearance was based on the Minotaur. So, if you have a very bulky and tough tomcat who loves to snuggle with the family dog (and protect him or her fearlessly), he deserves to be named after this character.
- Tachikoma. These adorable helping robots are super advanced AIs that have a great sense of humor. They are so loveable that even the tough guy Batou breaks the rules to do a special little thing for them. A small, joyful cat that happily follows you around the house and loves to chit-chat should definitely be dubbed Tachikoma.
We hope this article helped you find inspiration for your cat’s name and gave you a few suggestions for the shows that are worth watching or rewatching. While you are snuggling with your cat, of course.
There are many more awesome shows that deserve to be here, and every anime fan will surely have a good suggestion about what can be added. So many characters worth mentioning, and so many cool names for your furry best friend. Whatever you choose, make sure to find a name that is easy for your cat to recognize and distinguishes his/her character.
What’s your favorite anime? Who’s your favorite character? Will you name your cat after him/her? Why or why not? Let’s chat more about this in the comments section below! Take a look at our list of Japanese cat names if you haven’t found the right name for your cat. | entertainment |

When it comes to online casinos, safety and trustworthiness are of utmost importance. This is why it's crucial to look for trusted licenses and certifications before choosing an online casino.
One of the most reputable licenses for online casinos in Europe is issued by the Malta Gaming Authority (MGA). The MGA is known for its strict standards and regulations, ensuring fair gaming practices and player protection. If you come across an online casino with an MGA license, you can be confident that it operates with integrity and meets the highest industry standards.
Another trusted license comes from the United Kingdom Gambling Commission (UKGC). The UKGC regulates and licenses online casinos in the UK, ensuring that they operate fairly and transparently. By choosing an online casino with a UKGC license, you can be assured that your personal and financial information is secure, and that the games are fair.
In addition to licenses, certifications from independent auditors can also provide reassurance. eCOGRA (eCommerce Online Gaming Regulation and Assurance) is one such organization that tests and certifies online casino software and systems. When a casino displays the eCOGRA seal, it means that their games are fair and their operations meet industry standards.
It's important to note that reputable online casinos will prominently display their licenses and certifications on their websites. Before depositing any funds or providing personal information, take the time to verify the authenticity of these licenses and certifications.
By choosing an online casino with trusted licenses and certifications, you can enjoy your gaming experience with peace of mind, knowing that you are playing at a reputable and secure establishment.
So, when searching for the ultimate gaming experience, don't forget to check out the licenses and certifications of the online casinos you are considering. Your safety and enjoyment should always come first!
When choosing an online casino, one of the key factors to consider is the variety of payment options available. A good online casino understands that players have different preferences when it comes to depositing and withdrawing funds, and strives to accommodate all of them.
Whether you prefer using traditional methods such as credit or debit cards, or more modern alternatives like e-wallets or cryptocurrency, top European online casinos have got you covered. These casinos offer a wide range of payment options, making it easy for everyone to find a method that suits their needs.
Not only do they offer convenience, but they also prioritize security and ensure that all financial transactions are encrypted and protected. This means you can enjoy playing your favorite games without worrying about the safety of your personal and financial information.
Some of the popular payment options you'll find at these casinos include:
By offering such a wide variety of payment options, these top European online casinos ensure that players from all over the world can easily deposit and withdraw funds in a way that is convenient and secure for them.
So, when choosing an online casino for the ultimate gaming experience, don't forget to consider the variety of payment options they offer. It's important to find a casino that caters to your preferred method of payment, so you can focus on what really matters – enjoying the thrill of playing top-quality casino games!
When choosing an online casino, one of the most important factors to consider is the quality of customer support. You want to be confident that if you encounter any issues or have any questions, there will be someone available to help you promptly and efficiently.
Look for online casinos that offer multiple support channels, such as live chat, email, and phone support. This ensures that you can reach out to them in your preferred way and receive a quick response.
Another important aspect to consider is the availability of customer support. The best online casinos offer 24/7 customer support, so you can get assistance at any time of the day or night.
Additionally, you should check if the online casino has a comprehensive FAQ section or knowledge base. This can be a valuable resource for finding answers to common questions without having to contact customer support.
Lastly, read reviews from other players to get an idea of the level of customer support provided by the online casino. Positive reviews indicating responsive and helpful support are a good sign that you can trust the casino to assist you when needed.
By choosing an online casino with outstanding customer support, you can have peace of mind knowing that you will be well taken care of and can enjoy a smooth gaming experience. | entertainment |

Her interests in the realm of concert music extend from Renaissance and Baroque to Modern. Her varied and expansive concert repertoire includes not only the cantatas, oratorios, and masses of Buxtehude, Bach, Vivaldi, Haydn, and Mozart, but also the large-scale oratorios and requiem settings of Mendelssohn, Fauré, Brahms, Rossini, Verdi, and Dvořák. She has also interpreted seldom-heard works on the concert podium, like Samuel Barber’s Knoxville, Summer of 1915, which she sang with both the Bergisch Symphony and the Chamber Orchestra of Frankfurt am Main. For the Corona label she recorded French composer Marcel Dupré’s oratorio De profundis with the cooperation of the Saarland Radio Orchestra in 2010. Concert engagements have taken her outside of Germany several times to Austria, Italy, Serbia, Great Britain, Poland, the Czech Republic, and the Netherlands.
She has worked as a soloist with, among others, the Cologne Bach Society, the Philharmonic Choir of the City of Bonn, the New Philharmonic of Westphalia, the Classical Philharmonic of Bonn, the Bergisch Symphony, the L’arco Orchestra of Hannover, the Baroque Orchestra of Frankfurt am Main, Neue Philharmonie Hamburg and the Gürzenich Orchestra of Cologne. In November 2015 she made her début in Hamburg´s Laeiszhalle, singing Ralph Vaughan Williams’s Dona nobis pacem and Jan Dismas Zelenka’s Miserere. She was invited back to sing Carl Orff´s Carmina Burana in 2016 and 2018 to sing Erich Zeisl "Requiem Ebraico".
Since then, she has performed in Gewandhaus Leipzig, WDR and Philharmonie Köln, Frankfurter Dom, with the Hamburger Philharmoniker, Main-Barockorchester Frankfurt, L´Arco Hannover, Le Concert Lorrain, Bad Reichenhaller Philharmoniker and many other orchestras. | entertainment |

I’ve always read a lot. When I finished high school, I got the “library prize”. It tells a lot about my attendance at the school library. And when I was a teenager, my mother would read books out loud while I was busy crocheting. This allowed us to discuss about books and our interpretations of their content.
Now I’m completely addicted to audiobooks, the ideal format when I want to relax and crochet.
It took me about 2 years to listen to the full series of Outlander by Diana Gabaldon. Hundreds of hours. In English, read by Davina Porter. I know the television show has a lot of success, but I prefer the audiobooks by far.
Lately I listened to several books by Liane Moriarty: The husband’s secret, Big little lies, Truly madly guilty.
But I don’t enjoy stories only. Someone I follow on Instagram shared the reference to the book A is for Arsenic, the poisons of Agatha Christie. I dived into the description of the different poisons that Agatha Christie used in her books. Very interesting. And a bit worrying as well. It seems so easy to poison someone!
Very recently, someone on the other side of the world recommended The chronicles of St Mary’s by Jodi Taylor. Margie-Rose, thank you again for your kind advice. I have just finished the first book and I can’t wait to start the next one.
I like podcasts as well. Usually that’s the format I prefer for my reading (listening?) in French. If you know French, I would recommend the series Transfert on Slate.fr. It’s a series of recording about people telling an episode in their life. Sometimes funny, sometimes very sad. Always sincere.
I’m still looking for podcasts about knitting and crochet. I follow the vlogs recorded by Annette Petavy. (in French), in which she shares her news. But apart from Annette’s channels, I don’t know many interesting podcasts about fibres in general.
What about you? Are you more TV or audio? What are the audiobooks and podcasts (about crochet or knitting) that you listen to and would recommend? | entertainment |

- Do not limit yourself to one genre when you are reading or writing. You may have your favorite genre, but do not forget to step outside from time to time and let some fresh ideas come into your mind.
- Find out what works best in storytelling by analyzing stories you read or watch.
- Create an outline of your story before or after you write a rough draft. The outline is your road map that will help you to move smoothly from one part of the story to another.
- Stories that are based on real-life experiences make up fascinating fiction works. Keep this in mind and jot down interesting stories from your life or the life of your close people.
- When you are describing characters, make them real by adding details. Complement physical descriptions of characters with some unique psychological features that make your fictional heroes stand out of the rest.
- The most realistic characters are imperfect people. So, even if your main hero has many positive features, add some dark characteristics that make him/her more relatable.
- Interactions between characters as well as their actions should tell more to the readers about their real personalities than your descriptions.
- If you want your characters triumph in the end of the story, let them suffer and overcome serious obstacles during the course of action.
- Choose a distinct voice for your story. It must be consistent and appropriate for the content.
- Decide whether the first or the third person narration is more suitable for the story.
- Be careful about pacing. Do not tell the story too fast or slow, because the readers will skip paragraphs searching for action.
- Surprise your readers. Create an unexpected turn of events and provoke different emotions in your readers.
- Add sub-plots to the main plot of the story. This will make the story more interesting and will show the readers that many actions can happen at once.
- Blurring the lines is rather beneficial. Add funny moments into a horror story or romance into a thriller.
- Provoke thoughts in your readers. Such stories have more chances to be remembered.

Que Bajo vs. Federation Sound vs. Fool’s Gold vs. Just Blaze & Young Guru
First hosted in London in 2010, the Red Bull Music Academy Culture Clash has gradually become a staple on the international sound clash scene. With previous contestants likeMajor Lazer, Soul II Soul, and SMOG, as well as special surprise guests including Pusha T, the legendary Johnny Osbourne and Usher (doing a counter-action version of “Climax” on the everlasting “Stalag” riddim), Culture Clash is more than just one of the fiercest musical battles around. It’s a celebration of sound system culture and its ongoing influence on hip hop, dancehall and dance music. It’s a rare get-together of different genres and generations. And it’s probably the most entertainment one could cram into a three-hour show.
For this first New York edition, four of the city’s leading crews in reggae, electronic, hip hop and tropical bass face off at the venerable Roseland Ballroom. Max Glazer (the man behind New York’s heaviest bashment sessions and the brilliant Federation Sound podcast) with Kenny Meez; Fool’s Gold, the genre-defying Brooklyn label headed up by A-Trak and Nick Catchdubs; Young Guru and Just Blaze, the architects of Roc-A-Fella’s classic NYC hip hop sound and countless hits from Jay-Z to Rihanna; and Que Bajo?!, a collective known for starting full-on riots with their unique blend of cumbia, moombahton and Latin-fuelled rave sounds. And you alone decide who will take the crown. | entertainment |

It was a class I took that year – in my last semester of university – called “Cinema” that did the trick, ushering me from Hollywood fluff (which I wouldn’t have known as such at the time) and into a world of auteurs, subtitles, and film.
I can even pinpoint the exact moment it happened: our professor showed us the opening scenes of Robert Bresson’s “Diary of a Country Priest.” There was something extraordinarily beautiful about the priest riding his bicycle, and I would probably be amiss to try and elucidate why. The important thing is that I learned to view this wonderful art form primarily as a porter which could bring me closer to what it means to be human and live well in this world, as opposed to simply being a means of escape or distraction from it.
I suppose I decided to keep a record not only to document what films I saw, but to have some way of remembering what they made me feel and even what I was pondering at the time. In addition, seeing good films and experiencing greater joy and satisfaction made the prospect of documenting them all the more meaningful; my only sentiment prior to the discovery of cinema (CINEMA!) was ambivalence (I blame the movie “Hard Rain” which, incidentally, wasn’t so bad in retrospect as it afforded me the opportunity of splashing my friend – one of our very own Checkerboard comrades nonetheless – with a cup of his own urine. I’ll leave you to figure out what his “goldilocks” were doing in a cup in the first place, that day in the theater).
Anyway, though I wouldn’t say I have a photographic memory in the slightest, I can probably tell you exactly where I saw most of the films in my lists (all seven years’ worth) and, in many cases, with whom. It’s a nice (albeit terribly nerdy) way of navigating a year of life. I’ll be posting these year lists on occasion for your perusal – feel free to ask me about any of them in the comments. I dedicate this first instalment to Robert Bresson who made visible what perhaps without him might never have been seen, and to Iran for offering the world plenty of cinematic delight.

"Author Will Bashor portrays the intrigues of the 17th-century French court with fantastic detail and a passion for atmosphere, filling every page with rivalries, betrayals, and political manoeuvring. The character of Louis is sensitively drawn, and readers witness his struggles with identity, love, and the demands of royal life. The novel delves into themes of heroism and self-sacrifice with some deeply compelling emotional scenes that tug at the heartstrings and help us relate to human beings from centuries ago on a modern personal level. Overall, a compelling historical novel that not only entertains but also educates about a lesser-known aspect of French history, and I would not hesitate to recommend it."
--Five-Star review by K.C. Finn for READERS’ FAVORITE.
"In his masterpiece of historical fiction, Will Bashor gives us everything we love about royal drama. The way he interweaves the glory and splendor of XVII century France with the sins and debauchery of its elite is simply unforgettable."
-- Matt Ljr, Netherlands Review
"Absolutely magnificent historical retelling of a captivating story. I loved the way the author writes and makes us immerse into the story. A wonderful read."
--Kelly N., NetGalley Reviewer
"Absolutely phenomenal! Terrific from start to finish. I just love reading about unknown historical people and the author does a great job of bringing Count Louis to life. What a tale that you have to read about. This book comes with pictures - it just doesn't get any better than this. I will definitely be keeping this author on my radar! Thanks to Netgalley, the author and publishers for an advanced copy in exchange for my honest opinion."

Mirror’s Edge is also available for the Xbox 360. Linear in their design, each level is essentially an obstacle course. It’s your job to guide Faith through the levels as quickly as possible, using her knack for running and jumping to keep her out of harm’s way. And in that sense, Mirror’s Edge feels like a sort of first-person platformer—the game is designed entirely around the idea of finding optimal routes and racing through the levels as quickly as possible. This video review features video gameplay footage of Mirror’s Edge for the PlayStation 3 and audio commentary from Classic Game Room’s Derek.

Two years earlier we saw Phil there on a magical July night. He seems to like the place and special things happen. Last night showed just how true that was with a spectacular show.
The entire show was flawless, but two songs deserve special note and they weren't Grateful Dead songs. The first set included a surprise version of "Strawberry Fields Forever" and in the second set they broke into Pink Floyd's "Time".
One aside, Ned came out for the show, catching a ride with my friend Steve. Steve was on his way back from a Phish show in New Jersey and got Ned. Steve fared surprisingly well considering the length of the show and how much beer just kept appearing.
But two of the guys on stage had the most energy. Phil turned 70 in March, and though Bobby has always been the youngster, he is well into his 60's. The day after the show is a recovery day and this was no exception. But not for the ones making the music. Before Jerry Garcia died, I had always wanted to take my children to shows. I got my wish with a band playing as well as the Dead could in the last couple years. It was a special night. | entertainment |

Eòlia and the producer El Terrat have joined forces to train new acting talent specifically regarding acting for the camera. Both centers share the teaching philosophy of connecting students to the professional world from day one of their training. This is why the screenwriters, artists, acting directors, casting directors and acting coaches of El Terrat have joined Eòlia to help pass along their knowledge to future actors.
Acting for the camera is different from other kinds of acting. Teaching and informing students about the various acting schools, the different ways of approaching a screenplay, the genres and sub-genres that come together in all manners of audiovisual productions is the first goal of this particular branch of actor training. Ranging from film and television to entertainment programs, sketches, video clips, court métrages, etc., we will discover how to perfect and polish the students’ toolbox and techniques.
Our teaching is based on the analysis and viewing of the great performances in film history. An extensive knowledge of the great motors of change that marked a before and after in the acting world. We will learn what is necessary to be prepared for the reading and the challenge of a role, the inner workings of a film or television shoot, and above all, students will be given the chance to practice, and learn first-hand, the necessary technical resources to train themselves to act for the camera.
At El Terrat we are committed to training with the sole objective of discovering new talents, training them and incorporating them into the industrial television and film world. With Eòlia we share the same fundamental objective: training people and discovering new talent. | entertainment |

The story of the performing arts in Australia is a spectacular one, and our collections capture it in all its grandeur.
The Library’s vision is to transform access to Australian history and culture by making the most unique parts of our national collections available to everyone, everywhere, by sharing them online.
Your support will help to put these performers back centre stage
Many of the figures represented in these collections, such as Dame Nellie Melba and Sir Robert Helpmann, are household names. But others are at risk of fading from history. Bringing their collections online will help to put them back centre stage.
Rose Quong (1879–1972)
Born in Melbourne, Rose was a public servant who performed in amateur theatre in her spare time. In 1924, Rose was awarded a scholarship to study drama in London and found a new career and a new life overseas. In 1929 and 1931, she appeared with Laurence Olivier and the Chinese-American film star Anna May Wong in the play The Circle of Chalk. Rose never returned to Australia, but some of her papers did – our holdings include her 1924 travel diary documenting her journey to begin a new life in London.
Winifred Atwell (1914–1983)
Winifred Atwell, ‘The Amazing Miss A,’ was one of the most famous musicians of her time. Born in Trinidad, she became famous in 1950s Britain playing ragtime and honky-tonk piano, after training as a musician in New York and London. After touring Australia in the 1950s and 60s, she settled here in the 1970s. She was the first woman to play at Sydney Opera House – while the building was still under construction – performing a rendition of Waltzing Matilda to the workers. Winifred Atwell’s papers document the story of a ground-breaking performer who achieved international fame.
Bobby and Gracie Le Brun
The papers of Bobby and Gracie Le Brun capture the story of Australian vaudeville. Bobby and Gracie met on the set of Sydney's Tivoli Theatre: itself a legendary venue in the history of Australian performing arts. From 1949 to 1961, they toured the east coast of Australia with Sorlie’s Travelling Vaudeville Show, travelling 24,000 kilometres a year. Their collection tells the story of popular entertainment before television was in every home.

The action is centred around the Enguri Hydroelectric Power Plant, a massive dam construction on River Enguri, which serves as a de-facto boundary between Georgia's Russian-occupied region of Abkhazia and the rest of the country. A journalist accidentally gets into it and tries to cross the border of the unrecognized republic of Abkhazia. The film is produced by OpyoDoc.
The German premiere of Mariam Kapanadze's debut animated work, "Abandoned Village," will also take place at the DOK Leipzig International Festival. The artist of the work is Irakli Toklikishvili, the director is Mariam Kapanadze, and the producer is Mariam Kandelaki. The world premiere of the animated film was held in Japan, at the Hokkaido International Film Festival, and since then "Abandoned Village" has been awarded in many countries.
Both Georgian films presented at the DOK Leipzig Film Festival were created with the support of the National Film Center.
It is noteworthy that the project of Elene Mikaberidze's documentary “Cadillac Dreams” will be presented at DOK Co-Pro Market. The projects on the industrial platform were selected from 36 countries.
The 64th film festival will be held on October 25-31.

We completed all the pieces of animation we needed to do, I put it all together using After Effects and Final Cut, and then Emma added the music. We have two versions of our animation. One with Tom Ritchie's Dialogue, Music, and Matt's sound effects. The other version only has Tom's dialogue and music.
Emma surprised us all when she told us she bought (royalty free) music from a site called Audio Network. It's a music and sound effects library where you can buy licensed tracks. she bought several tracks, and the one we liked the most was one called "Miami Beach". We felt so guilty letting her buy tracks with her money. We offer to pay her back but she was having none of it. That is the music you can hear in both versions if the animation. | entertainment |
