If The Last Jedi Really Has the Biggest Reveal in Star Wars History, What Could It Be? A Japanese ad for Star Wars: The Last Jedi makes a very intriguing claim—it says the film will include the biggest, most shocking reveal in Star Wars history. The obvious answer is that this will be the discovery of Rey’s origin, but we got to thinking.. Here’s the ad, via Star Wars News Net. Who does the best Vin Diesel impersonation? Who’s the pickiest eater? Vin, Michelle Rodriguez, Chris “Ludacris” Bridges and Tyrese all dish about their Fate of. Manos: The Hands of Fate is a 1966 American low-budget horror film. It was written, directed, and produced by Harold P. Warren who also starred in the film. Note: We reached out to Lucasfilm to confirm if this ad is real or not and have yet to hear back.)That site interprets the red writing on the sides as “The Most Shocking Truth In Star Wars History Will Soon Be Revealed!” Our interpreter says that’s close to accurate, but “shocking” may not exactly be right; it could also be “devastating, gut- wrenching, startling, sensational, astounding, or astonishing.” Additionally, the Japanese word for “truth” could also be interpreted as “reveal”—so changing that to “moment” or “secret” would make the most sense for English- speaking audiences. For the rest of the text, visit the source site.) Either way, it sounds like something massive is going to happen in this movie. But what could it be? That’s where you come in. We want to hear your theories, and we’ll get the ball rolling. Again, the identity of Rey’s parents is obviously the biggest mystery in the sequel trilogy. But when you say this reveal is the biggest in Star Wars history, you have to outdo Darth Vader as Luke’s father, and Leia as Luke’s sister. Both were massive surprises at the time. Could Rey’s origin actually exceed these “truths”? For Rey’s lineage to be a big surprise, the reveal would have to involve someone we aren’t expecting—for instance, that Luke Skywalker met Mara Jade, his wife from the Expanded Universe, and they had Rey. A Japanese ad for Star Wars: The Last Jedi makes a very intriguing claim—it says the film will include the biggest, most shocking reveal in Star Wars history. The. Luke Skywalker says that it is time for the Jedi to end, but why did he lose his faith in the Order? We analyze the Jedi's various shortcomings. Culture The 'Star Wars: The Last Jedi' trailer has arrived. The internet waited patiently for a 2-minute teaser for a film that doesn't even come out for eight months. The New Jedi Order was the restored and reformed Jedi Order, in the wake of the Great Jedi Purge.Something like that. Obi- Wan or Yoda somehow influencing her development is big, but “shocking?” “Sensational?” We don’t know. The second most obvious reveal would be something involving Snoke. Could his identity be the answer? It’s certainly possible and we know there are plenty of crazy theories out there, but again, it would have to be something we’re not expecting. If he is actually Boba Fett or Ezra from the Rebels cartoon then maybe it would qualify. But we doubt it. We’re going to play it safe and go with C, none of the above. If this reveal is the largest in Star Wars history, it should have to come out of nowhere—something like Kylo Ren resurrecting his grandfather or something completely crazy like that. But that’s just what we think. What shocking truth or moment do you think could be coming in The Last Jedi?[Star Wars News Net]. Roma Universalis mod - Mod DBHey there everyone! Lead developer of Roma Universalis here, and I am proud to announce the next major expansion for the Europa Universalis IV total conversion mod Roma Universalis: we call it the Tribal update! The game focuses mainly on adding some flavor to the tribal/barbarian nations of the world, which includes most of Gaul, Germania, Britannia, Iberia, and Scandinavia and much of the Russian and Eastern European region. Scandinavia. We have added a plethora of new nations to the Scandinavian Peninsula, most being Scandinavian Germanic tribes with unique national ideas that give them an edge in building and fighting with ships/naval vessels. We are also planning on giving one or two of the Scandinavian nations unique national ideas that set them apart from the surrounding nations. We are also contemplating adding unique events and country modifiers that encourage the expansion of tribes through conquest, raiding, pillaging, and war.
Mainland Europe. We have implemented a ridiculous number of new tribes in Gaul, Germania, and the Iberian Peninsula to spice up the competition for diplomatic alliances and resourceful vassals, buffer states, and reluctant subjects. War is, as it was historically, a mainstay of continental Europe as Germanic and Gaulish tribes came into frequent contact with eachother over foraging grounds, good locations for settlement, and natural defensive terrain. We are considering adding in events and country modifiers concerning the early migration of Gaulish, and a bit later Germanic, peoples across the continent of Europe. To expand on this historical event a bit, Germania is a very convoluted and divided region; most of Southern Germany and modern- day Austria is inhabited by Gaulish tribes who practice the Celtic religion. In the north, Scandinavian and Germanic tribes inhabit the region and practice the Germanic religion. In addition, whereas the Gauls usually possess a despotic, monarchical form of tribal government, there is a tradition of confederal government in the Germanic region: most Germanic tribes have a ruler who is chosen from the men of the tribe, but the position is not hereditary and most rulers are chosen not only for their valor but for their abilities to be prudent and decisive in tribal affairs.

Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six® Siege: Pro League All Gold Sets.Elders and councils were common in Germanic society, and there will be new government forms in the mod to show a progression from early Gaulish and Germanic government to more modern and sophisticated institutions that resembled early feudal and Middle Age government in the regions of Gaul and Germania. India. While there have been no new nations added to India, there has been a rework of the cultures present on the Indian subcontinent: In addition, we are pondering adding some unique national ideas to several of the smaller Indian kingdoms to spice up game play in India a bit. Other changes. Apart from many of the aspects we've touched on up above, a plethora of other changes have made their way into the mod, some including: A significant development boost to almost all portions of Europe, the Middle East, and East and North Africa. A plethora of bug fixes. An assortment of changes to many various nations to make the game more historically accurate (for example, the Duchy of Cyrenaica in North Africa is now Greek tech, religion, and culture instead of Libyan and Egyptian religion)Renamed various elements of the game and nations, like changing the "Greek" tech group and culture to "Hellenistic", in tune with the definition of the era as the "Hellenistic" era where independent Greek states and the influence of the Greek civilization had a final hoorah before the rise of the Roman Republic and Empire. Various national ideas balancing. Changed several nation flags. Removed some redundant cultures. New culture groups. Added a few new nations. In addition, still much more is on the way with a focus on national events and decisions, national ideas, and probably some of the most significant changes will be events for the rise of the Roman Republic and Empire, the Punic Wars, and the Pyyhric War and clashes between the Hellenistic and Roman worlds. There is no current release date for the patch, so expect more developer diaries soon! Real Big Dumbass Writes Real Dumb Column About Michael Bennett.

Sometimes you run across a column that is just so plainly stupid and written in bad faith that it’s hard to muster the indignation necessary to give it a proper. How do you even begin to tell the guy eating his own feces that eating his own feces is bad? Anyway, here’s this fucking column about Seahawks defensive end Michael Bennett’s decision to sit for the national anthem, from the News Tribune’s John Mc. Grath, which reads like it was written in 2. We’re supposed to be done with this shit! As an accomplished NFL player, he has ample opportunities to serve as a change agent preaching justice for all: Seven months during the off- season, six full days a week between August and January. But over the three and half hours he’s competing for the Seattle Seahawks on Sundays, his ambitiously virtuous platform should be limited to the mundane matter of winning a football game. What you need to know about MP4 and what MP4 players can do. Plus learn how to pick a MP4 player and why a free one is a good option. Latest bug fixes for Microsoft Windows, including fixes for some possible DoS attacks. It’s a fair compromise, no? As a citizen of a nation conceived by a protest movement strong enough to achieve independence, Bennett gets every right to voice opinions on issues unrelated to football. But as part of a roster assembled with athletes from coast to coast, from gated- community neighborhoods to neighborhoods where the only gates are in front of windows and doors, Bennett’s national- anthem stance — or lack thereof — is distracting and potentially divisive. What? While no fellow players criticized Bennett’s refusal to join them for the anthem, I suspect at least a few of them were not thrilled by the snapshot of the towel hanging over his head. It’s one thing to sit down while everybody else in the stadium is standing, and quite another to sit down in a gesture that amounted to exclamation point. Make the sit- down statement, OK. Making the sit- down statement with a towel over your head pushes the line, and Bennett’s job is to push another kind of line. The fuck?[News Tribune].

The Day of Atonement is one of God's feasts and is considered to be a time for fasting, on which no food or drink are be consumed: 1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 2 "Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them: 'The feasts of the Lord, which you shall proclaim to be holy convocations, these are My feasts. Leviticus 2. 3: 1- 2; NKJV throughout unless otherwise specified) 2. And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying: 2. Young Briony fingers a young man for a crime after she discovers a lustful letter and witnesses a sexual encounter between him and her sister. Watch trailers & learn. Also the tenth day of this seventh month shall be the Day of Atonement. It shall be a holy convocation for you; you shall afflict your souls, and offer an offering made by fire to the Lord. And you shall do no work on that same day, for it is the Day of Atonement, to make atonement for you before the Lord your God. For any person who is not afflicted in soul on that same day shall be cut off from his people. And any person who does any work on that same day, that person I will destroy from among his people. You shall do no manner of work; it shall be a statute forever throughout your generations in all your dwellings. It shall be to you a sabbath of solemn rest, and you shall afflict your souls; on the ninth day of the month at evening, from evening to evening, you shall celebrate your sabbath." (Leviticus 2. On the tenth day of this seventh month you shall have a holy convocation. You shall afflict your souls; you shall not do any work. You shall present a burnt offering to the Lord as a sweet aroma: one young bull, one ram, and seven lambs in their first year. Be sure they are without blemish. Their grain offering shall be of fine flour mixed with oil: three- tenths of an ephah for the bull, two- tenths for the one ram, 1. Numbers 2. 9: 7- 1. Evening to evening means from sunset to sunset. Offerings were mentioned above (a sermonette- length video message related to offerings and this day is available: Atonement Offertory. Fasting is historically how the phrase "afflict your souls,"Strong's Exhaustive Concordance word 6. Jewish and Church of God communities- -unless one is somehow ill, and thus is already afflicted. Why the idea that this generally means fasting? Because of biblical passages such as the following: 1. But as for me, when they were sick,My clothing was sackcloth; I humbled myself with fasting; And my prayer would return to my own heart. Psalms 3. 5: 1. 3; "I humbled" is a translation of Strong's Exhaustive Concordance word 6. When I wept and chastened my soul with fasting,That became my reproach. Psalms 6. 9: 1. 0) 5 Is it a fast that I have chosen,A day for a man to afflict his soul? Is it to bow down his head like a bulrush,And to spread out sackcloth and ashes? Would you call this a fast,And an acceptable day to the Lord? Isaiah 5. 8: 5; "afflict his soul" is a translation of Strong's Exhaustive Concordance word 6. Plus, around the time of Jesus, the Day of Atonement was simply referred as 'the Fast' in Acts 2. The fact that this day was referred to that way (or even at all) in the New Testament is an indication that it was observed by Christians after Christ's resurrection. The Bible also clearly shows that so- called Jewish holy days, such as Pentecost were observed by Christians after Jesus' resurrection (Acts 2: 1). Observant individuals affiliated with the Churches of God will fast from sunset after the 9th of the seventh month until sunset the next night (if they are physically able- -nursing mothers, small children, pregnant women, and various afflicted others are not expected to fast- -this is consistent with Jewish practices in this area as well). In this fast we go without food or drink. Those afflicted in ways that fasting is inappropriate for them may well be why God's used the expression for "afflict your souls" that day as opposed to mandating that all MUST fast then. The original rites and practices for the Day of Atonement are set forth in the Hebrew scriptures. Here are some of them: 1 "You shall make an altar to burn incense on; you shall make it of acacia wood. A cubit shall be its length and a cubit its width — it shall be square — and two cubits shall be its height. Its horns shall be of one piece with it. And you shall overlay its top, its sides all around, and its horns with pure gold; and you shall make for it a molding of gold all around. Two gold rings you shall make for it, under the molding on both its sides. You shall place them on its two sides, and they will be holders for the poles with which to bear it. You shall make the poles of acacia wood, and overlay them with gold. And you shall put it before the veil that is before the ark of the Testimony, before the mercy seat that is over the Testimony, where I will meet with you. Aaron shall burn on it sweet incense every morning; when he tends the lamps, he shall burn incense on it. And when Aaron lights the lamps at twilight, he shall burn incense on it, a perpetual incense before the Lord throughout your generations. You shall not offer strange incense on it, or a burnt offering, or a grain offering; nor shall you pour a drink offering on it. And Aaron shall make atonement upon its horns once a year with the blood of the sin offering of atonement; once a year he shall make atonement upon it throughout your generations. It is most holy to the Lord." (Exodus 3. Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying: 1. When you take the census of the children of Israel for their number, then every man shall give a ransom for himself to the Lord, when you number them, that there may be no plague among them when you number them. This is what everyone among those who are numbered shall give: half a shekel according to the shekel of the sanctuary (a shekel is twenty gerahs). The half- shekel shall be an offering to the Lord. Everyone included among those who are numbered, from twenty years old and above, shall give an offering to the Lord. The rich shall not give more and the poor shall not give less than half a shekel, when you give an offering to the Lord, to make atonement for yourselves. And you shall take the atonement money of the children of Israel, and shall appoint it for the service of the tabernacle of meeting, that it may be a memorial for the children of Israel before the Lord, to make atonement for yourselves." (Exodus 3. A unique ceremony related to the Day of Atonement is discussed in Leviticus 1. And Aaron shall cast lots upon the two goats; one lot for Jehovah, and the other lot for Azazel. And Aaron shall present the goat upon which the lot fell for Jehovah, and offer him for a sin- offering. But the goat, on which the lot fell for Azazel, shall be set alive before Jehovah, to make atonement for him, to send him away for Azazel into the wilderness. Leviticus 1. 6: 8- 1. ASV) 8 ‘And Aaron hath given lots over the two goats, one lot for Jehovah, and one lot for a goat of departure; 9 and Aaron hath brought near the goat on which the lot for Jehovah hath gone up, and hath made it a sin- offering. And the goat on which the lot for a goat of departure hath gone up is caused to stand living before Jehovah to make atonement by it, to send it away for a goat of departure into the wilderness. Leviticus 1. 6: 8- 1. YLT) Christians note the parallels between the first of the two goats with Jesus and the second of the two goats with Satan (the Azazel goat). Such as Jesus does get killed, but that Satan does not. Notice also something from the New Testament: 1. But Christ came as High Priest of the good things to come, with the greater and more perfect tabernacle not made with hands, that is, not of this creation. Not with the blood of goats and calves, but with His own blood He entered the Most Holy Place once for all, having obtained eternal redemption. For if the blood of bulls and goats and the ashes of a heifer, sprinkling the unclean, sanctifies for the purifying of the flesh, 1. Nova Scotia Quotes. Home. Nova Scotia Quotes.

I'm talking about integrating the story. Let's say, not only do we learn about George Washington – we learn about his slave Harry Washington. Harry ran away from George's Mount Vernon, fought for the British, and then when the British lost went to Nova Scotia with the free black community. Then when Nova Scotia didn't work out they went to Sierra Leone and settled there.

He liberates me'At Joanne Trattoria on Manhattan’s Upper West Side, they serve their family- style cuisine with a side order of Italian- Americanjazz. This particular summer afternoon the atmosphere at Lady Gaga’s parents’ restaurant is distinctly relaxed. The lunchtime rush is over – some Japanese fans, busy having their photograph taken at their table, are the only other patrons – and both Joe and Cynthia Germanotta happen to be in the house.

Twitter followers – or, Little Monsters, as they proudly and devotionally style themselves – myriad costume changes (even offstage, and often in the same day), outrageous wigs, over- the- top concert spectaculars, admissions of emotional and narcotic weakness, and dresses made of meat. When Bennett first heard her, he confidently predicted she’d be “bigger than Elvis”. He also called her “the Picasso of pop”, a claim that holds slightly more water than it might otherwise given Bennett’s status as a keen painter. Tony heard her, they did something together, and then he said, ‘Let’s do a whole collaboration,’ ’’ recounts a pleased- as- punch Mr Germanotta. And I’ve been sitting in the studio and it’s just been incredible. They have chemistry.” As much is evident 2. In an uptown recording studio Lady Gaga and Tony Bennett are sitting down together. Five songs from that “whole collaboration”, a covers album called Cheek to Cheek, is today being unveiled through giant speakers. Well, they’re unveiling five of their faithful covers of standards culled from the Great American Songbook. That simpatico relationship is also evident on Gaga’s flesh. True to form, she’s put her art on her sleeve – a Bennett sketch of Miles Davis’s trumpet, including the artist’s signature (“Benedetto”), is tattooed on her arm. The skin is still red, raw and angry- looking. Presented close- up with this evidence of her devotion, I swear the old- school singer blanches a little. The jumping- off point for the project was “something they did together”: a recording of The Lady is a Tramp, which opened Bennett’s 2. Duets II. It was a crowded compilation that had the elder statesman partnering with 1. Amy Winehouse, Michael Bublé, Aretha Franklin and k. Duets: An American Classic, which featured 1. Bono, Sting, Juanes, some people with two names). But on Cheek to Cheek, both the song and the album, it only takes two to tango. Well, that was the first record we talked about actually,” begins Gaga of a song written for the 1. Fred Astaire/Ginger Rogers movie Top Hat. Those are big shoes to fill, and to her credit – on one listen anyway – Gaga does a genre- appropriate and respectful job, sounding a little like Dinah Washington. This is the Great American Songbook,” she continues. Her New York accent is strong, but she seems to be dialling down, or holding back, her normal impassioned speaking style in deference to a man of whom she’s clearly in awe. Gaga is dressed demurely, for her: today’s wig is one colour (black) and one length (long). Bennett, sitting within hand- holding distance in an adjacent armchair, is smartly suited and coiffed. She smiles reverently at him before carrying on. It’s meant to be sung till the end of time. And Cheek to Cheek is the most simple and most beautiful way you can describe this relationship. Nothing matters except that we are together and we are having a conversation with jazz.” This pair of New York- Italians first met at a 2. Robin Hood Foundation. What did Bennett know or think of Lady Gaga before that encounter? He seems not to hear or understand my question, which may be as much to do with my accent as anything. He replies in his low, gravelly, methodical speaking voice that, “it was the first time I ever saw her perform. I could not believe the audience reaction to her. I’ve been around long enough to know what every artist does. But this audience – it wasn’t just that one night, but every time I see her… and it’s not just little tiny children. She has an audience of all ages that are singing the songs that she performs. And they’re all singing in unison with her. So the audience just adores her.” Since her emergence five years ago, Lady Gaga has had titanic success. Her third studio album, last year’s Artpop, may not have met with the same critical and commercial acclaim as its predecessors The Fame and (to a lesser extent) Born This Way. But 2. 00 million record sales don’t go away overnight, and she’s still a huge global force; next month her global Artrave tour comes to the UK’s arenas. Still, for all her seemingly Teflon- coated confidence, she’s no pop autobot. She admits that when she first went into the studio to record The Lady is a Tramp, her nerves were such that she resorted to a shot or two of whisky. Well of course I was so nervous!” Gaga retorts when I mention this. Yeah, but you showed up so prepared,” soothes Bennett. Well that’s ’cause I was nervous!” she repeats, laughing. But she wasn’t drunk? She shoots me an as- if look. No, it takes more than a few whiskys to take me down, I’ll tell you,” snorts this woman with a predilection for partying. But of course I was nervous, he’s so…” “You know what?” interjects Bennett. Every great performer I’ve ever met, they’re extremely nervous because they care so much. They want to make sure the audience gets the whole thing. Am I gonna remember all the words? Are the musicians gonna play with me so that it’s natural? Are the lights right? Everything. You just wonder what’s gonna happen before you hit that stage.” Bennett knows of what he speaks: despite his multiple cojones, Bennett used to vomit with fear before performances or recordings. Now the artists don’t feel that nervousness,” he offers sagely, “there’s something flat that happens when they walk out. There’s a lack of energy. The audience sees that so they just…” Bennett mimics a desultory, bored clap. But another performer with that live energy, right away the audience responds to it… And the best artists – Sinatra, Lena Horne, the greatest artists that I’ve ever met and watched and performed [with], were the ones – Ella Fitzgerald!” he exclaims, “before she hits the stage she almost forgets what her name is. That’s how she works.” I ask Gaga about the jazz contest that her father had mentioned. The all- state jazz competition,” she nods. It was students all over New York state. You win within your sector, then you got to go to this convention upstate in New York where everybody would compete for all sorts of medals and beautiful plaques. And I was the only person chosen from my school and I was so proud and happy to go. And it was always a great experience for me to be around people that loved music, ’cause I didn’t have a great performing arts programme at my school. That’s why I love Tony so much ’cause he has all those performing arts programmes and he cares so much about education and art.” 'He's changed my life': Lady Gaga with Tony Bennett (Steven Klein)In 2. Bennett opened the Frank Sinatra School of the Arts (FSSA) in his home neighbourhood of Astoria in Queens. Four years ago the programme was expanded to seven public schools in New York. Earlier in the week of our meeting, the pair had surprised 7. FSSA with an appearance in the Tony Bennett Concert Hall, fielding questions and singing The Very Thought of You (him) and Every Time we Say Goodbye (her). Having heard (once) her versions of Anything Goes, Mad About The Boy and It Don’t Mean a Thing (if it Ain’t Got That Swing), I can attest that Gaga does seem to have been having a whale of a time singing these standards. And as Bennett affirms, “boy can she belt ’em out”. But whence that passion? In a press statement released when the album was announced, Gaga was quoted as saying: “It’s liberating to be singing jazz, and especially at this point in my career.” How so and why “especially” now? Well, it’s been extremely liberating for me ’cause jazz is rebellious. And I’m a rebel at heart. So in that way it’s also me rebelling against my own pop music – that’s really exciting for me. But I think the thing that has been the most powerful has been, there’s a part of me that has been quiet for a long time that is now being reawakened, after years of producers and record label people telling me to make my voice sound more radio- friendly. Since The Fame, The Fame Monster and Born This Way, they’ve been auto- tuning it more, or changing the timbre. They take the vibrato out so you sound like a robot.” Before I can step in with a question – viz, “is that the truth? A major artist of your widely reported control?” – Tony’s beat me to it. Jeez!” he says. “…they really control you,” she nods, “especially in the beginning. |
