Hades: WHAAAAAAAT?!?! Okay, fine, fine, I'm cool, I'm fine. Hades: Excuse me? Atropos: Should Hercules fight, you will fail. Clotho: Then the once-proud Zeus will finally fall / And you, Hades, will rule all! Hades: Yes! Hades rules! Atropos: A word of caution to this tale. Lachesis: The time to act will be at hand / Unleash the Titans, your monstrous band. ![]() Lachesis: In 18 years precisely / The planets will align ever so nicely. Clotho: We know everything!

Their claims included assertions that Imperial Japan was not an aggressor, but a liberator that the so-called comfort women were not sex slaves, but prostitutes and that the Nanjing Massacre was not a historical fact, but a lie. Their outspoken remarks received broad attention in the media, infuriating many people both in Japan and abroad. In the late 1990s, the mass media, both inside and outside Japan, reported vigorously about the surge of revisionists in Japan who claim that, by taking notice of atrocities like Nanjing, Japanese education in the postwar era had unfairly demonized Imperial Japan. Although the rise of human rights standards has contributed to an increase in published scholarly work on the Nanjing Massacre, I argue that, paradoxically, the Massacre has also become a rallying point for nationalism and ethnocentrism in Japan, China, and the United States. Many historians of Nanjing have obviously been led to examine abuses of human rights during the atrocities, and their sympathies have not been limited to any particular national or ethnic groups. The internationalization of Nanjing probably coincides with the development of standards for the protection of universal human rights. Yet the internationalization of the scholarly and popular discussions of the Nanjing Massacre is a recent phenomenon. It is fair to say that the Nanjing Massacre today is one of the best-known symbols of Japanese wartime atrocities. Definitions and interpretations of the Nanjing Massacre, however, have changed significantly over time, in response to corresponding changes in both the social and political contexts that have stood behind the debate. Between December 1937 and January 1938, Japanese invading forces killed tens of thousands Chinese in Nanjing and its surrounding areas, including civilians and prisoners of war. Depictions show an authoritative king bearing symbols of status and might: The King of Spades is linked to several legendary rulers, especially King David from the Bible. When this powerful king arrives in a card reading, pay attention! His Story and Symbols Decoding the Meaning of the King of SpadesĪlright, let‘s zero in on the King of Spades-his history, symbols, and deeper meaning. He urges us to seek inner wisdom as we lead. The King of Clubs depicts a philosophical, introspective ruler. The King of Diamonds indicates wealth and prosperity. The King of Hearts embodies compassion and kindness. He signals that it‘s time to take command of your life. ![]() Now let‘s look at each king in more detail: King of Spades The King of Hearts was possibly based on the legendary King Charlemagne. For example, the King of Spades may have portrayed King David of Israel. This equality differs from standard chess, where the king is the most important piece.Īccording to playing card historian David Madore, the four kings likely originated from historic leaders depicted on early playing cards. The four kings are equal in rank and status. These face cards are the highest-ranking cards within their suit. A standard 52-card deck contains four king cards, one for each suit-Spades, Hearts, Diamonds, and Clubs. Stick with me as we explore the King of Spades inside and out! Overview of the Four Kingsįirst, some background. This powerful card has some fascinating stories behind it. The two were originally supposed to face off at SummerSlam, but the match was postponed due to Riddle suffering an injury after being Stomped into steel steps.īoth Morgan and Riddle are looking to get revenge against their foes this Saturday at Clash at the Castle in Cardiff, Wales.Hey friend! As a fellow tech geek and data analyst who loves gaming, I‘m excited to dive deep into the history and meaning behind the King of Spades. He’s scheduled to go one-on-one against Seth Rollins, who has been on fire as of late. Riddle also has a match coming up this Saturday against a tough opponent. ![]() Morgan noted during the video that her arm was “not at 100 percent” and we can expect Baszler to target the injury like a bullseye. The lively and positive personalities of both Superstars really came out during their training and it was a ton of fun to watch and learn from them.īaszler, on the other hand, sharpened her skills with Ronda Rousey this week, so we know she will be on her A-game in Cardiff. ![]() Riddle is also a former UFC athlete, so who better to call than the King of Bros? The two fan favorites met on their days off at a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu gym where Riddle coached the current champion on submission defenses and taught her a couple of holds. With Clash at the Castle on the horizon and Morgan needing to tune up her grappling, she called up her friend Riddle to teach her a few things. Her formidable MMA background has already paid dividends during this feud as she has gone after Morgan’s left arm, nearly injuring it in the process. She is scheduled to defend her title against The Queen of Spades, Shayna Baszler, one of the most brutal and technically gifted wrestlers the WWE has ever seen.īaszler is a former NXT Women’s Champion in her own right and a former UFC fighter. SmackDown Women’s Champion Liv Morgan has a steep challenge ahead of her at Clash at the Castle next Saturday in Wales. ![]() A good comparison is that Hazel is a networking library and DarkRift is a networking solution.In my opinion this feature is not needed in OS X due to the fundamentally different relationship between applications and the system compared with Windows, by design. That said, I'm still happy to merge any pull requests if they come through, so if you do make any improvements I'll happily add them.ĭefinitely a fair thing to say, although DarkRift is still low level for a networking solution. You are right, there are some horrendous allocations in there! I don't really do that much on Hazel anymore because DarkRift takes most of my dev time so it's unlikely I will add pooling at any point. Not really, Hazel leaves that up to you in whatever steps you do to create the byte array.ĥ. It's not too hard to change any details for TCP (including number of bytes for length) but changing UDP is a bit complicated, just because there's a lot more complicated code in there!Ĥ. The information on the TCP page is correct, the UDP one seems to be missing fragmentation but is otherwise right. Hazel will never hand you incomplete data so you will only ever get whole messages, reassembled already.ģ. ![]() You might notice some differences when switching between them but only that one or the other takes more packets etc. ![]() Hazel has fragmentation on both TCP and UDP (TCP by default, UDP only with SendOption.FragmentedReliable on the message). ![]() You are correct, Hazel has no serializer so only deals with already serialized byte arrays.Ģ. Is there setting to prefix message length as a Int16 or better VarInt (dynamic 7bit int) instead? If not, do you think it would be easy to change in the code (easy as in not tons of code that implicitly assumes a 4 byte length header)Ĥ) Does this library provide some sorts of channels, like ReliableOrdered, ReliableSequenced or others?ĥ) Any plans to implement some pooling? There are huge non-pooled allocations everywhere ( like this one or this one here)Īlso, from what I can see DarkRift is trying to be more of a package that does all kinds of additional things, while Hazel is more of a low-level thing, is that fair to say?ġ. Is that right? But if it does have one, can it be disabled/bypassed? I want to use my own serialization library.Ģ) It seems it only supports sending byte-arrays, which is pretty much perfect for me, but am I correct in assuming that it handles fragmentation / re-assembling of packets? Will I ever get incomplete data that I have to re-assemble myself? What about switching between UDP and TCP, will that change anything in that regard? I'm currently looking for a networking library that provides connection handling / fragmentation(and re-assembling of packets),ġ) I didn't find anything about that, but it does seem like Hazel does not have any sort of serializer. Can't find /Library/Frameworks//Versions/Current/Version.Ĭan't find mtouch or the Version file at /Library/Frameworks//Versions/Current.

The wrestlers must be wrestling against each other (and not be on the same side). Later on in the series, she became his fiance as well. The Character Susan, played by Swedberg, was George’s on again-off-again girlfriend. Seinfeld frequently gave viewers a look at characters that were every bit as charming as they were irritating. Feud cards can only be added to a Match that includes both wrestlers featured on the Feud card. Jason Alexander and Heidi Swedberg Seinfeld.These types of cards that add bonuses are also known as Flavor cards. Feuds can be optionally added to a Match in order to provide a ratings bonus for that match.They didn’t want to touch each other, they didn’t want to look at each other, they wouldn’t face each other if the camera wasn’t actively rolling. These cards represent a heated rivalry between two wrestlers or two tag teams. Houston Yang, who worked on the movie, also gave his two cents on the feud, saying: Boy fucking howdy, was it clear that those two people hated each other.Additionally, the detectives Javier Esposito ( Jon Huertas) and Kevin Ryan ( Seamus Dever) were always a pleasure to watch and could have easily led the show. Quinn had become a very capable actress, appearing in the Guardians of the Galaxy films among others, and it would have been interesting to see how Alexis’ career evolved and adjusted to her father’s marriage. Castle’s daughter, Alexis ( Molly Quinn), had grown up over the course of eight years Quinn was a child actress at the beginning of the show, but by the end, she had grown into a capable young woman who was an awful lot more responsible than her father. How would having children impact Beckett’s ability to perform her duty?Ĭastle also had more than a few great recurring characters whose arcs felt unresolved. Castle and Beckett had only just become a married couple at the beginning of the sixth season, so the show hadn’t had the time to explore what balancing their professional and personal lives looked like. 14.On The Flash, Barry Allen and Eobard Thawne are archenemies, but Grant Gustin and Tom Cavanagh are close friends who made a short film together, Tom and Grant. As a result, some seasons focused more on his creative endeavors, and others were centered around a pivotal case. Barbara Windsor/Shane Richie Babs Windsor lost her rag with Jessie Wallace on several. While shows like NCIS, FBI, and Blue Bloods have started to feel stale after dozens of familiar cases, Castle had both the mysteries and Castle’s writing career to focus on. Ben Arnold 10 TV Shows Where The Cast Hated Each Other 1/10 EastEnders Jessie Wallace Vs. The actresses portrayed best friends Carrie and Samantha on the HBO series for. Jeanette was also pissed that Ariana was making so much more than her for 'Sam & Cat' as she felt she was the bigger TV star. Sam and Cat, it was definetly not a hit, the show sucked, but the cast hated each other. Even though the final episode “Crossfire” was intended to be a normal season episode, it became the series finale when it became apparent that it would be the last time the characters Castle and Beckett would appear on-screen together.Ĭastle had a premise that made it more sustainable than a majority of crime procedurals. However, two of the main stars Sarah Jessica Parker and Kim Cattrall have been at the center of drama for years. That’s kinda hard being the love interest, but they made it work. Nina Dobrev and Paul Wesley Trolled People Who Think They Hate Each Other. Castle had been renewed for a ninth season and continued to be a hit for ABC, but Katic chose to exit the show, and would later describe it as “a harsh ending.”As a result, the show was canceled at the end of its eighth season, even though Fillion had already renewed his contract to appear in Season 9. The Vampire Diaries Cast Had the Sweetest Reunion at Golden Globes After Party. While the show was able to surprisingly keep going for eight seasons without the tension becoming evident to fans, the situation on set had escalated at a rapid pace. Sources claim that the tension had gotten so extreme that there were concerns by the producers that it would affect the quality of the show, and that the two had to be sent to shared counseling in order to portray a romantic couple on screen together. While Katic’s representatives officially reported that there was no on-set tension, another source stated that the tension had gotten “so out of hand they made Stana and Nathan go to couples counseling together.” US Weekly’s source also claimed that the two hated each other and would not speak to one another anytime they weren’t filming, that tension had increased over the course of several seasons, and that Katic could be overheard crying in her dressing room. According to an insider speaking to US Magazine, Fillion had “been nasty to Stana for a long time,” and the two were very cold together while filming and doing scene preparations. ![]() Designs are, finally, executed to the point, flawless and frickin' hot. Plus it's bloody gorgeous, it's amazingly beautiful and colorful. The movie shines, attacking with pastel color palette and some of the best and smoothest animation I've seen in this series. Movie fixes what didn't really work in the Crystal series from the technical point of view, especially animation and awful CGI, nah, no more shite. Definitely best looking Sailor Moon installment ever and may be as well the best installment (or very, very close one, even it has some flaws) in general.īut there's no suprise, movie adapts best arc of the manga and follows it strictly (considering runtime and the cuts, of course), after all this is what makes remake of Sailor Moon better, or supposed to as Crystal had some really big issues with proper execution and pacing, following the source in the Looks gorgeous, smooth and frickin' beautiful. To put it simple - technically breathtaking. Long awaited and hyped adaptation of 4th Sailor Moon arc is finally out. Will they be able to recover their powers in time to stop the darkness from taking over? Meanwhile, the Sailor Guardians discover that they can no longer transform following the eclipse and begin to fall victim to the Circus' Lemures. When Mamoru Chiba suddenly falls ill after the appearance of a total solar eclipse, Usagi and Chibiusa encounter a pegasus by the name of Helios who is desperate to unseal the Golden Crystal, which Helios claims is the only way to save their world from the impending threat. In order to stop the Circus in their tracks, Usagi Tsukino and her friends must reprise their roles as the Inner Sailor Guardians. Using "Lemures," the Circus begins to convert people's dreams into nightmares in order to collect enough energy to plunge the Earth into darkness and turn it into a planet of death. The Dead Moon Circus has arrived in Juban with the hopes of liberating their queen, Nehellenia, by stealing the Legendary Silver Crystal for themselves. ![]() It pokes fun at Hollywood’s obsession with and characterization of alien life (in particular the alleged need aliens have to examine the more disgusting parts of the human body,) and the various filmic interpretations. Paul has some extremely funny and clever moments, most riding on the audience’s knowledge of other sci-fi films from Invasion of the Body Snatchers to Close Encounters of the Third Kind. The film follows a fairly predictable pattern of flight from the law, strange encounters with even stranger people, disaster, romance, and eventual redemption. All are in a land whose culture is foreign all stick out like oases in the desert, and all are slightly uncomfortable with their strangeness, except with each other. This is a good premise: earthly aliens (Brits in America) teaming up with an unearthly one. They are being followed by a government agent, two slightly inept cops, and manage to pickup an odd religious nut along the way. Late one night they encounter Paul (the oddest named alien in film history, voiced by Seth Rogen), who needs them to help him get to Wyoming so he can get the hell out of Dodge. Pegg and Frost play Graeme and Clive respectively, two British geeks who take a lifelong dream trip to Comic-Con in San Diego, followed by a road trip in an RV to famous UFO/alien sites of the southwest United States. Scott Pilgrim is one example of this and now Paul is another. Separate the trio, and while the work is still very good, it doesn’t quite reach the same peak. These three individuals have oodles of talent on their own but bring the three of them together, and they hit a whole new level of brilliance. This could be applied to the masterful cinematic combination of Edgar Wright, Simon Pegg, and Nick Frost. ![]() The saying goes, the whole is more than the sum of its parts. ![]() He worked his butt off for decades trying to make Hollywood happy with him so that he could raise money to make movies he wanted to make. John Carpenter has dealt with a lot of crap from Hollywood. ![]() does more with the plot points in far more interesting ways. There’s even a moment where Snake is put into an impossible to survive gladiatorial gauntlet that he ends up not only surviving but getting the audience to cheer him on.īut, much like how I prefer Only Angels Have Wings to Ceiling Zero, I feel like Escape from L.A. Snake Plissken is brought to infiltrate a city-sized prison of crazy sub-cultures in order to rescue a piece of technology held by a resident of the White House, setting up a conflict with the local warlord, meeting up with friends he lost along the way, and ultimately getting off the island to come face to face with the true nature of presidential leadership. Yes, Escape from L.A.is a beat for beat remake of Escape from New York. Well, I feel like the script for Escape from L.A. In my review for the first cinematic adventure of Snake Plissken I wrote that it was hampered by extreme budgetary constraints and some odd structural issues with its narrative, insisting that it really needed a script polish before shooting at the very least. I think this is one of John Carpenter’s best films, and I think it’s a large step up from Escape from New York. I unabashedly, unironically, and unashamedly love this movie. #2 in my ranking of John Carpenter’s films.
