![]() (seriously, that's the thing about Tudor history that drives me absolutely batshit) It's for this reason that I don't usually gravitate towards this period of history, being a much bigger fan of the sexy sexy Tudors and their various sexy sexy scandals. Well, obviously it's more complicated than that - in fact, the Wars of the Roses is kind of a clusterfuck of a situation, helped in absolutely no way by the fact that all the men were named George, Edward, Richard, or Henry. Having now finished the book, I can provide the condensed version of the answer to Weir's question: because illegitimate kids throw one hell of a wrench into people's succession plans. The story of what happened between 14, which is the story told in this book, answers the question: how?" One murder could be said to have been a direct result of the other. "This story begins in 1400 with the murder of one king, and ends in 1471 with the murder of another. Who knows, I think I'll run through the rest of the Histories, too, for good measure and variety. :) There's nothing like a bit of deep immersion to bring out the inner geek. The rest is pretty comprehensive to my layman's eye, though, and I'm satisfied even if even I found it a bit dry.Īnd now, I'm set to run through all the Shakespearian Histories for this time! :) Yay! (Well, for a second time, anyway. One thing I can say is that my knowledge has increased quite a bit, and isn't that what we really look for in a good History? It's not extremely focused, but it gives us some background before Henry VI loses France and sparks the real beginning of the War. I got a lot out of it, but since I'm not an expert in the field, what I do understand is dwarfed by all the little things that passed me by. But if you are familiar with the broad strokes, then there are much worse reference points for you. ![]() It's bloody and sad and horrific and sad. I recommend other works if you are new to the 1455-1485 period in England. Tons of names, battles, and character studies of kings and notables are extant. Well even though I spelled this out in horribly simplistic terms, do NOT assume that this book is anything simple. Well, until Richard III kills all the Heirs and crowns himself king until Henry VII smites him down, but that's all ancient history, right? Right? Both were pretty much the heroes that stopped all the previous stupid conflicts that was dragging England through the mud.Īnd then, after some really great women power between a few queens including Margaret, the impossible eventually happens. ![]() Edward IV is crowned king with the help of Warwick even though Henry VI is still kicking, and even though it begins well, Warwick and Edward start baring fangs at each other and yet MORE war happens. Then somewhere down the line, after Margaret of Anjou, his wife, is pregnant, Henry VI has a mental breakdown and she takes over, impressively, but not flawlessly. Only this time, Henry VI was set up on his mother's side to madness, a common malady of kings, and that, combined with horribly overbearing uncles and "helpers" to the throne, a power struggle begins, pulling this way and that and nobody really blames the poor king when the conflicts break out. Leaving another kid to be the king, just like Richard II. People loved Hal, later to become King Henry V, and they were all amazed at how much of France he had won for England, capping off a truly heroic entry and the close end of the Hundred Years War.Īnd then he died. You can trace its roots back to Richard II when Henry IV deposed him, setting up the later battles between York and Lancaster, but this is somewhat disingenuous. First of all, no amount of quick re-telling can ever do actual history any justice, but suffice to say, The War of the Roses was a ROYAL MESS.

![]() It's surprising to see such problems (it works on some devices with no problems). There are also numerous comments about game crashing, not starting, sound problems and so on. Sometimes the game could lag a bit, but still it worked on such low specs. I was able to install and run the game on an ancient 7" Chinese tablet (Android 4.0, 512 MB RAM, old single core CPU). On the other hand many no name or in general Chinese tablets and phones are marked as compatible. Rovio is aware of the problem that many quality-brands products are marked as incompatible. About the problemsĪt start - the compatibility issue. Important additions are sounds and unique sound sets for every driver. The graphics on the screenshot may look low resolution, low quality, but when displayed on small screen (4.5" 1280×720 in this case) it looks quite nice. Be sure your kids won't buy a lot of that in the game. There is a lot of in app payments for better cars, power-ups and so on. More drivers we get more races we will be able to run one after another. Every driver can race five times before he will have to rest for some time. Each driver also has a unique feature, like red bird can accelerate quickly for a moment, bomb bird may blast off drivers that are close to him slowing them for a moment and so on. Sometimes the car doesn't respond to our commands - it may be a bug or a hidden feature. We can control the car with arrows or by tilting the phone/table on sides. We have top 3 races, bomb races where we have to finish in given time avoiding obstacles, fruit gathering races or one vs one challenge races. To do that we need a good car, so we race in other races to get gold needed for upgrades. To recruit them we have to beat them in races. We have a set of levels, and for every level we can recruit one new driver - bird or a piggy. We start the game with the red bird and one car. So we have a good game and surprising problems. Secondly many players are reporting problems with the game - crashes, blank screens and so on. Many good-brand devices is marked as incompatible. On the other side the game faces some hardware/software problems. Our team will consist of birds as well as of piggies. This time we will be racing to get to the final prize. Another excellent game in the most downloaded franchise in the history of Android.Angry Birds Go! is a new game made by Rovio with a Angry Birds theme. Gameplay is exactly the same: you have to launch your birds (the same old birds) against the evil pigs in an attempt to knock them out and get three stars.Īngry Birds Seasons offers more of the same, which is not bad considering it still has a solid gameplay that will delight the millions of fans of the original. So, for example, when it’s Christmas you’ll find levels with a Christmas theme, and when it’s Halloween you’ll find a spooky theme, in the summer you’ll get a summer theme, and so on.Īpart from this season’s carousel, Angry Birds Seasons maintains all of the elements that have made this such a successful saga. On Angry Birds Seasons you’ll find tons of new levels that come adapted to the season you’re in. Angry Birds Seasons is the first sequel to the classic Angry Birds, one of the most downloaded games in the history of Google Play, and a true reference within the world of touchscreen-device video games. ![]() Five Different Christmas Place Cards Free Printables Designsĭownload this Christmas place cards designĭownload this Christmas place card design (design 2)ĭownload this Christmas Place Cards Design 3ĭownload this Christmas Place Cards – Design 4ĭ ownload this Holiday Place Cards – Design 5 Other Christmas Printables You Might Like: If you would like to download just one of the designs, there is a link below each of the designs to download the PDF print version of the design.

Many different rewards await you on your way through the fairground tent, but they are hidden under the fog.

I have prided myself on successfully completing all events, it is rather disappointing that suddenly, after years of playing, that I will not be able to complete this event. I really think that NPC's should have 0% boosts, enough players have ridiculous boosts, there's no need for the NPC's to also have them, let the mild pacifists have a chance (it's especially difficult for those JUST reaching a new age before the event starts). I would do the fighting, BUT I cannot win 5 battles in a row when the NPC's have power and defense boosts twice what I have. However, having to now finish the first difficulty is impossible for me as I do not, nor will I have the diamonds or resources necessary to complete. I decided to take the negotiations throughout the event as that was more my play style. I am not a fighter in the game, but I will when necessary. I can't physically pass #49 "Till Death Do Us Part". Which is unfair because I dont have a lot of diamods even to advance in 1 city. The other 5 cities I play are stuck at the point. I play 7 worlds and only in 2 of them cities could I advance from a the uest - defeat a large army or solve large negotiations. Thats just my opinion and maybe something can change. For those players who dont have a load f diamonds how can we negotiate an if our army is not strong enough how can e win.we can't which leaves us stuck and unable to complete the questline. I spent 45 diamonds vin one of my worlds but then if the negotiations are wrong you have to spend mre diamonds till you get it right. Also to negotiate if you don't have that good deposit then you have to spend diamonds to pay to negotiate. The large army has 11 men colonial age were we can only use 8 men, for some players they are at late middle age, high middle age or lower an to compete against 11 colonial army men you wouldn't be able to win. ![]() Ladt years hLloween event was fine, but this year the issue I have is that in a couple of the quest you have a choice to either defeat a LARGE army or solve this large encounter. I love the seasonal quest like the Fall questline, winter quest, Halloween quest. If you are having trouble trading on the market, try joining a more active guild - usually people are happy to take guild trades as they don't cost fp to accept. In any case, you should not ever be so low on goods unless you have been completely neglecting goods production. ![]() Repeatable quests are also a good source of goods, but it's probably more reliable to get them from goods buildings unless you have a high level Chateau. If you just build 1 of each boosted good building for your age and previous age and regularly put up trades on the market for the rest, it should be enough to produce any goods you need unless you want to negotiate all of GE. Are you sure you did not mix up the armies you were facing in different age cities?Īs for the goods I am sorry but if you are so low on goods that you can not complete the few negotiations for the event without using diamonds, that is just poor planning on your part. As far as I am aware, event quests, daily challenges and guild expeditions should only put you against troops from your age or 1 age below. The fact that you are being put against an army beyond your age seems strange to me. ![]() Appointees serve 3-year terms and appointments are subject to the advice and consent of the Senate.

He chose to live in Costa Rica to be less exposed than the residents of the capital after he arrived with just his computer and a change of clothes. If you ask me who I am, I’ll tell you that I’m a Nicaraguan from Cinco Pinos, from Chinandega (a department along the border with Honduras) who grew up swimming in its rivers and that I have breathed Nicaragua all my life (…) How can this pair of tyrants tell me now that I’m not Nicaraguan!” he says, crying with rage in a plaza outside of San José”. Álvaro Navarro, journalist and director of the Nicaraguan media outlet Artículo 66, breaks down now when telling his story. The Personal Cost of Telling About What’s Happening The average salary of a Nicaraguan journalist only pays the rent for a house in Costa Rica. In Costa Rica, in addition to suffering a blow to their identity, they face the cost of living. In the last five years, they have suffered exile, in addition to judicial processes for practicing their profession, confiscation of assets and even having their nationality taken away. The country that has forced out the most journalists to Costa Rica in recent times has been Nicaragua. Journalists face problems related to uprooting and subsistence in a country that provides refuge but is also the most expensive in the region. Most of them come from countries where journalism is a direct victim of authoritarian ways, the deterioration of people’s access to truthful information and the aspiration to extinguish dissident voices. The number of reporters protected in Costa Rica is uncertain, but a conservative estimate exceeds 150 reporters and 20 media outlets. Some have left and returned, and others have left quickly for a third country. Not all of them apply for refugee status. There are reporters who arrived anonymously and continue that way. Some have chosen it as the least inconvenient destination, while others have just allowed themselves to be brought by organizations that quickly relocate them to Costa Rican soil. There are individual journalists or even entire media outlets that have migrated to Costa Rica trusting in its institutional strength, in the rule of law, and even the Costa Rican system’s tradition of asylum, although there are also new immigration rules that make life difficult for new arrivals. At times, he gets uncomfortable talking about himself, but he also understands that his story is the same as many others in Central America and that’s why he agrees to share it. Gerson still doesn’t have a lot of answers about what happened. “I didn’t know if I was getting things together in my life or making much more of a mess, and that’s a feeling that stayed with me for several days.” It’s disconcerting on a professional and personal level, emotionally, he remarks when remembering the experience that began one Friday when he arrived in San José with an atmosphere that he had never felt, exhausted by the trip, welcomed by a leader of the organization who took care of him and with the suspicion that running away wasn’t a great solution either. It’s like watching the rain from a window you’re aware that it is raining, but you’re not getting wet,” he reflects. You’re watching all those things that are happening in a different space and your mind knows it. And Costa Rica has become a refuge for those who have risked their safety and lives to practice their trade, despite the circumstances. This is one of the latest cases that have set off all the alarm bells for independent journalism in the region. That was the crime, since they were all accused of obstructing justice by doing their job in a “malicious” manner, according to the charge. ![]() Harassment from the government and elite allies of Alejandro Giammattei resulted in the director’s arrest and imprisonment and the newspaper being cancelled.Īlong with seven other journalists, Gerson informed Zamora about the judicial process. ![]() At the age of 39, he worked as editor and editor in chief of the newspaper El Periódico, directed by José Rubén Zamora, until November of last year. For this report, he reviews everything that has happened so far in 2023 and contemplates the resulting dizziness and confusion. For the first time, Gerson Ortiz talks about his exile publicly, reviewing the chain of events that took him from Guatemala to Costa Rica to flee persecution. ![]() When the Flat Earth Society relaunched as a web forum a century and a half later, in 2009, its leaders cited recent media attention-news articles and historian Christine Garwood’s book Flat Earth-as one reason for the reboot. He encouraged the combative relationship, inviting scientists to attend and make a scene. Newspapers gave Rowbotham free publicity by mocking his upcoming lectures. Since the beginning, Flat Earthers have made the case that media helps their cause. At the risk of giving Flat Earthers exactly what they want, we need to pay attention to them. As my train sped toward Washington, I realized I was approaching a group of people that knew media coverage could hurt them while taking editing notes from a group with no such fears. I was expecting an angry note, but the group had no ill words for me they only wanted to point out a typo I’d missed. While I rode down the East Coast, I got a message from the Flat Earth Society, whom I’d just mocked in my online article. I filed the Space Force story in a couple of hours and rushed out to catch a train to Washington, DC, where I was covering a march of much more explicit neo-Nazis, including one who’d recently threatened on the radio to murder me if I showed up. It’s Flat Earth, for Christ’s sake! How absurd! My colleagues and I put a sarcastic 234567892 banner on the story and thought it was very funny, and years later-knowing that Flat Earth has torn families apart and that some Flat Earthers are neo-Nazis who make rap songs about killing people like my own Jewish family-I still find the 234567892 banner, and really the whole article, very funny. ![]() When Trump announced the creation of a Space Force as a new military branch, I convinced my editors at the Daily Beast to let me interview the Flat Earth Society about the new organization, on the grounds that Flat Earthers generally think space is a hoax. ![]() I tweeted about factional rivalries playing out in conspiracy groups. I saved the most batshit comments I found in Flat Earth forums. Years ago, I started writing about Flat Earth as something close to a joke. And if we accept that the Facebooks of the world will never be perfect at moderation, it’s worth adopting one more paranoia to ask whether we’re giving them too much power in the hopes that they will flawlessly execute an impossible task. TikTok can ban a hashtag, but it has less control over the feelings of fear and uncertainty that send us searching for alternative explanations. TikTok can ban a hashtag, but it has less control over the feelings of fear and uncertainty that send us searching for alternative explanations.īut while Silicon Valley giants like YouTube can curb the spread of conspiracy theories by taking away their artificial algorithmic boost, big tech firms are unlikely to deliver us, as a species, from the meaning-making thought processes that misfire when we craft conspiracy theories. When the video-sharing app TikTok blocked hashtags associated with QAnon in July 2020, it removed one of the most straightforward means for Q supporters to discover and network with their peers. Anti-fascist activists often work to get neo-Nazis banned from popular websites, because disrupting their online activities and kicking them off these sites makes it harder for fascist types to recruit. Infowars suffered a massive blow when it lost its social media profiles and, subsequently, nearly three-quarters of its traffic. A University of Cambridge study found that Trump and Brexit voters were much more likely than their opponents’ supporters to believe conspiracy theories about immigration, with nearly half of Trump and Brexit voters believing the government was hiding “the truth” about immigration.īans and moderation work-up to a point. Trump and other Western right-wing populists who won elections in the mid-2010s did so in a time of surging income inequality, accompanied by growing fears, on the right, of immigration.Īcross the pond, following a sustained disinformation campaign that maligned Muslims and immigrants, the United Kingdom voted to leave the European Union. He rose to political prominence while pushing a conspiracy theory that falsely claimed Barack Obama, the first Black president, was not born in the United States. Trump, whose chaotic presidency was guided by some of the United States’ darkest tendences, might be seen as both a product and an accelerator of those paranoid conditions. “Specifically, the more strongly people experience such aversive emotions, the more likely it is that they assign blame for distressing events to different groups.” “Conspiracy theories are a natural reaction to social situations that elicit fear and uncertainty,” psychologist Jan-Willem van Prooijen writes. People turn to conspiracy theories in moments of instability. If you really really want to throw a lot of time into maybe, possibly, probably not getting these, here are the spots for "farm" them in. You can find them here: Andariel's Visage The Grandfather Doombringer Ring of Starless Skies. The final 5 arrived in the past week after Harlequin's Crest was found relatively soon after launch. They are still very rare, however, and most of us probably won't be seeing them any time soon. Many players may have just salvaged it without even knowing it was something special, as it's effect isn't that impressive.Īs we already mentioned in previous posts, these almost certainly aren't the first ones dropped and there are many more than have been reported out there (just without image or video proof) so their rarity is a little over-represented. This one isn't one of the more wanted ultra-rares, which may also be the reason why we've seen it last. Source: Melted Heart of Selig dropped today.
