The best opinions, comments and analysis from The Telegraph.International News. It became, in the words of The New York Times, “a stealthy hit with surprising staying power.”Then it became a Netflix series. And suddenly there was no longer anything stealthy about it. Jay Asher’s “1. 3 Reasons Why” is now the story everyone is talking about. Like Hannah Baker, the suicide victim at the heart of the tale, “1. Reasons Why” has found a way to ensure its own immortality — for better or for worse. As you probably know by now, the story begins after Hannah’s (Katherine Langford) suicide. While her fellow students are still creating memorials and taking selfies in front of her locker, a bombshell drops on her friend Clay Jensen (Dylan Minnette). A shoebox full of cassette recordings that Hannah created before her death is left with him — recordings addressed to 1. As Clay begins to listen, dreading the moment when he’ll hear his own name, the high school experience comes to life around him, through both flashbacks and present- day storylines — an experience that the viewer soon begins to wonder how anyone could survive. While their parents hover anxiously but helplessly on the sidelines, and teachers make fruitless sporadic efforts at guidance, the kids in their care endure a journey that makes “Lord of the Flies” look like “Gilligan’s Island.” Drugs and alcohol flow freely, bullying and sexual assault are facts of life, an innocent photograph or a few whispers can wreck a reputation, and the person who’s your best friend today could turn on you tomorrow.“1. Reasons Why,” the book, was a sad and difficult read. In fact, it’s perhaps one of the best examples I’ve ever seen of Marshall Mc. Luhan’s classic aphorism “The medium is the message.” In order to turn a 2. More to the point, it all makes the whole story darker and much more intense, enveloping us in a world where there’s little light or air or hope. What has particularly bothered many parents and educators about the show is that Hannah’s voice floating above all these stories gives us the impression that she lives on after death — moreover, that death gave her a power she never had in life. Watching the way that Hannah’s revelations begin to unravel the lives of the kids listening to them, some have even used the term “revenge porn” to describe what she’s doing. This is one of the ways in which “1. Reasons Why” works against its stated purpose: to discourage teen suicide. As Jaclyn Grimm writes in USA Today, for instance: I’ve dealt with depression and suicidal thoughts since middle school, about the younger age of 1. Reasons Why’s audience. I never imagined logistics: razor blades cutting delicate skin, the quick violence of a gunshot. What I saw in my mind was crying peers and thousands of flowers and people wishing they had reached out to me. I didn’t want pain; I wanted control. While watching the show, the bullying, assault and even the suicide itself didn’t stand out to me. All I could focus on was the power the main character had after her death. The way the show portrays these things, it doesn’t always seem to matter that Hannah is not actually around to exercise and enjoy that power. What matters is simply that she has it at last. Similarly, I think the graphic depiction of Hannah’s suicide may have backfired. In the book, she took pills; in the series, she slits her wrists in the bathtub — and viewers see it all, including her parents’ horror when they discover her dead body. The creators’ stated intent was to make suicide look unappealing and avoid glamorizing it. But witnessing this dark and ugly act as the culmination of all the darkness and ugliness we’ve already seen seems to suck away the very last remnants of hope in the show’s world. It stirs great compassion for this lost and hopeless girl, but it also tempts us to despair like her own. And it leads us to understand why experts warn against explicit portrayals of suicide. Though life goes on for others, though Clay desperately says of the school’s poisonous atmosphere, “It has to get better,” we see no actual reason why it might or will. Because people learn to be more aware of each other’s problems, and treat each other better? That’s the goal — that’s how we see Clay finally behaving at the end, after a period of lashing out and trying to get revenge on Hannah’s behalf. But a fundamental flaw in both versions of the story is that so much responsibility for one girl’s mental health is placed on other people. Yes, it matters deeply how we treat each other, but the idea that kids are responsible for keeping each other alive is neither true nor fair. The same goes for the all- too- pervasive idea — trickled down from movies for adults, without a doubt — that romantic relationships can save us. Clay is haunted by the thought that Hannah died because he was “afraid to love her”; though the school counselor tries to talk him out of the idea, he clings to it. So many of these characters have a need for love, an instinctual understanding of its importance, but no concept of the kind of love that actually does save. Religious faith is mentioned only in passing, and not in any way that suggests it could provide real and lasting help. Romantic relationships, heterosexual and homosexual, abound, but most of them are as messed up as you might expect from a bunch of teenagers guided only by their hormones. And more than once, they cross the line into brutality. Interestingly, the show pulls a punch I didn’t expect at a climactic moment. Whereas in the book Hannah gave in to consensual sex with a boy she despised, out of sheer despair and self- loathing, in the show it becomes a clear case of sexual assault. I wish they had stuck with the original scenario, because it showed such a realistic picture of the “gray area” where so many kids live when they’ve done something wrong but have no moral framework to think or talk about it. But in both versions, a visit to a counselor who also has little moral framework does no good, and Hannah finally gives up on life. Does “1. 3 Reasons Why” have any value at all? Some people I’ve talked to — including those who work with kids — suggest that it draws attention to struggles and difficulties that kids have been undergoing for a long time. There have been disturbing stories of suicide attempts tied to the show, but there were also disturbing stories of rising teen suicide rates long before the show premiered. The f- bombs flying through the school halls are very similar to what I heard in junior high; the rates of drug and alcohol abuse among this age group are no secret; and nearly every woman alive could tell you stories of harassment — or worse — similar to what Hannah and some of her female classmates endured. Many kids have been crying out for help; perhaps “1. Reasons Why” has served to amplify their voices. But by the series’ own lights (or lack thereof), it’s hard to see how there’s ultimately much hope for any of us, and that is the greatest problem with “1. Reasons Why.” I don’t fault Jay Asher or the show’s creators for thinking they had a project on their hands that might strike a blow against suicide, but the limited and flawed worldview they brought to it meant that they were deeply, dangerously wrong. Troubled kids need and deserve better. For Further Reading: Colby Itkowitz, “These students who’ve struggled emotionally are sharing ’1. Reasons Why Not’ over their school loudspeaker,” The Washington Post, May 9, 2. Image copyright Netflix.

After a Labor Day break (sorry), we've hit a pair of episodes that might as well be called My So- Called After- School Special: . But though both episodes tackle PSA worthy topics–teen drinking/drug use and teen runaways/throw- aways–their approaches couldn't be more different. She's been sober for 3. And so begins the struggle to remain sober for Rayanne Graff, teen alcoholic/drug abuser. Even though . No one is preachy or heavy- handed about the subject, and the only person who uses AA language is the guidance counselor. And, before she goes to Vertigo to sing with Frozen Embryos (aka ! IMDb > "My So-Called Life" (1994) > Reviews. They recently have tried to redeem themselves by airing a new teen drama(Life as. A thoughtful drama about an angst-ridden teen. The central character in My So-Called Life feels so real. Audience Reviews for My So-Called Life: Season 1. I've just got to get through tonight. As we see in the final scene of the episode, it isn't stress or even disappointment that leads Rayanne to drink, it's happiness. Well, that and the good fortune of standing in a movie line near a couple of dudes who don't mind sharing their beers with outgoing high schoolers. Rayanne's almost overdose and 2. It seems that since the break- up crumple cry felt around the world, Angela has been spending a lot of time ignoring Rayanne and hanging out with Jordan in his car, by her locker, and under the bleachers. What do they do when they hang out? Well, actually Jordan talks, and Angela mainly talks in her head (. As your own. You can't live another second knowing others could possess me. I highly recommend My So-Called Life. This episode is the first appearance of angsty Jordan and most of his angst, and the topic of all of his deep, serious conversations with Angela is the rapid disintegration of his band, Frozen Embryos. What's everyone going to do now? Should they cancel their open mic gig at Vertigo? It's a subject that Jordan mines for conversation like a natural born worrier–which we know from experience he is not. Amber, in turn, advises her in a way only Amber can: while blending a margarita and offering to defrost frozen baby quiches so her daughter can have something to eat for dinner. Amber tells Rayanne to . So the next day Rayanne jumps into the backseat of Jordan's car while he and Angela are having their hundredth serious discussion about the state of Frozen Embryos. Jordan, perhaps not wanting to reveal his band angst to all, asks them to leave, and Rayanne decides to audition for the band formerly known as Frozen Embryos. She gets the gig as their lead singer, an event that leads to (in chronological order): Jordan's first phone call to Angela (. She's coming on to my drummer. Acting like she's hot. But even though they both admit that they miss each other, and they both want to remain friends, their friendship has shifted in a way that can't be remedied: . Nothing's changed. But while outwardly she's patronizing Rayanne, inwardly Angela is more honest, . And we both, like, knew it. There's no moral or happy ending or even lesson to be learned from this after- school special- -it's just another page added to the ongoing characterization of Rayanne Graff, irresponsible friend of Ricky and Angela. Just wear something tight. Close your eyes and be very, very brave. Though the episode opens with Ricky, beaten, stumbling, and coughing blood on the snow, it quickly shifts to Juliana Hatfield, homeless teen angel with guitar who says at one point . Need more evidence that the episode is more My So- Called After School Special? There's an actual PSA at the end, voiced by Ricky, for an organization that helps missing and/or homeless teens. After all, MSCL can be heavy- handed at times, and Angela has previous experience dealing with holiday- related magical characters (see . Also, angels have a long tradition in Christmas- themed shows and movies. It's a lot darker (figuratively and literally) and bleaker than usual (Ricky spitting up blood on the snow really set the tone), there's no voiceover from either Angela or anyone else, there are several musical interludes, and most of the action takes place in town, at night, in places we've never seen before. Sharon, Rayanne, and Brian's teen helpline subplot is pure MSCL comic relief, culminating naturally in Rayanne engaging Brian in one of the most awkward sex- line exchanges in recent memory (. I'm wearing my red flannel shirt and brown corduroy pants. And Brian's interactions with Angela (? You go to one abandoned warehouse and you're like an expert on homeless people? But just the once, to make Brian, right? By the time she complains about her worn- down boots and eyes Angela's new, already deemed warm Doc Martens, the fact that she's supposed to be a neglected, homeless foil to well- fed, loved Angela has already been made very clear. Then Angela wanders around the abandoned warehouse on Tennessee Ave. Then Angela tells Brian that .

It is a far bigger game than anyone probably expected. It's prettier, plays better, and is just far more brilliant than it had any right to be. More impressive than all that put together, though? The fact that it not only managed to live up to the ridiculous hype that surrounded its release, it pretty much surpassed it all. Yes, the game's setting of San Andreas feels like a fully- rendered world and it performs on every level. The characters are well drawn, whilst their motivations are both hilarious and believable. The streets are teeming with life, the cops are just as cunning and ruthless as they need to be to keep up with the game's three brilliant protagonists, the graphics are beautiful and the gameplay is tight and varied. The radio stations and internet.. But I must say.. No matter how good it is, or how perfect its review scores appear to be, there's just something about GTA V that - for me - feels lacking. No, not lacking exactly, but.. And that's why - even though in doing so I fully expect to be hunted down and tortured until I take it all back - I decided to write this article. Ladies and gentlemen, here are 5 reasons why (the brilliant) GTA V will never be as good as Red Dead Redemption.. Grand Theft Auto V . It is the fifteenth installment in the Grand Theft Auto series and the successor of Grand Theft Auto IV. The original edition was released on September 1. Xbox 3. 60 and Play. Station 3. An enhanced edition was released for both Xbox One and Play. Station 4 on November 1. It is due to be released on PC on April 1. Very little is known about the game except that the game will take place in Los Santos along with it's countryside, hills, and beaches. The game will be released in September 1. The game was initially slated for a Spring 2. September 1. 7th the same year. Then, on July 1. 5th, 2. Rockstar announced the Japanese release date for the game: October 1. West. It takes place about five years after the events of Grand Theft Auto IV, and four years after the events of Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars. Grand Theft Auto V was released to universal acclaim, holding scores of 9. Meta. Critic and Game. Rankings, as well as receiving perfect scores from over 3. The game sold 1. 1. As far as driving goes, the vehicles have been greatly improved, with Rockstar running more complex physics on them. The cars can even hold to the ground slightly better. The driving mechanics feel more like a racing game, particularly the Midnight Club series, compared to Grand Theft Auto IV's rocky, boat- like handling system. The shooting mechanics are better in terms of the feel of the mechanics and larger compared to the melee mechanics in the game, but that doesn't mean that the melee combat won't be fun, as it as been improved over the previous titles as well. Weapon selection has now also been changed. Instead of the old way of selecting through all the weapons, there is now a Weapon Wheel, which is similar to the one featured in Red Dead Redemption,but better with the current generation. Grand Theft Auto V draws inspirations from many different Rockstar titles in the past, including Max Payne 3, Midnight Club, Manhunt, and Red Dead Redemption. Another unique feature is that the character swapping feature is executed in a Google Earth- styled manner and was displayed during a Game Informer demo, which was showed to have ran smoothly and without lag. Character Customisation and Map Three Times Bigger than Red Dead Redemption. Grand Theft Auto V.The PC, PS4 and Xbox One versions will present an exclusive feature which is a first person mode. The whole game can be played through the eyes of the protaganist. This gameplay mode will present a whole new way to play the game. Cars will have detailed interiors different from one another, shooting will be like that of a FPS game. Random events have also been added to the game and can appear any time, while the player is exploring the map. The mobile phone has returned from Grand Theft Auto IV but is now only used for calling the player's contacts, surfing the web, and quick saving. Giving people the middle finger is another new feature the player can use while in a vehicle (which Rockstar recommended you do in various locations around Los Santos to see the outcome of this effect, depending on where the player is at, they will get different reactions from pedestrians). Some minor mechanics that help out the environment and looks of Los Santos come on at certain times, such as a sprinklers system coming on in the morning in rich areas like Morningwood. After some calculations by members of Gawd. Almighty. com, that would equal to around 2. Players are able to fly planes, which impossible in Grand Theft Auto IV because of the size of the map, but the feature is now in Grand Theft Auto V because of the much larger map. In a brief scene in the first trailer, overhead wires are visible on a banking next to the road, which are probably wires for a railway track. There are also submarines that players are able to use to explore the Pacific Ocean. The Rhino from previous GTA titles has returned, including a new complex aiming system and a realistic depiction of a tank. A new feature allows you to roll- over a vehicle when the car is flipped upside down. According to Art Director Aaron Garbut, Grand Theft Auto V's Los Santos is bigger than the worlds of Red Dead Redemption, GTA: San Andreas and GTA IV. Additional details from 'Grand Theft Auto 5's major reveal claim Los Santos is larger than San Andreas, Liberty City, and 'Red Dead Redemption's frontier. The missions are included by the boss. New businesses also appear, such as the Bugstars fumigation company and Up- n- Atom Burger fast food restaurant. The option to eat from restaurants such as Burger Shot is no longer available. Instead, the player can only buy drinks from the various Vending Machines across the map. There is now the option to mount attachments onto various different guns, each one affecting the performance. Melee weapons like the nightstick and the golf club that weren't present in Grand Theft Auto IV have also returned to Grand Theft Auto V. The availability of tattoos and ability to apply facial hair has returned from San Andreas after being missing from previous titles in the HD universe. The multiplayer is treated as a additional title and is known as Grand Theft Auto Online. Grand Theft Auto V has multiplayer features linked to Rockstar's Social Club. They are however more advanced in Online with the availability of jobs and properties along with additional character customisation options like tattoos, clothing, masks, hairstyles etc. It features a classic hot rod, a sports bike, an electric sports car, a shotgun and a hammer. This is available when the Collector's Edition is installed. Since then, there has been five extra DLCs as follows. On February 1. 3th 2. Valentine's Day DLC was released, referencing 1. Valentine's Day Massacre. It featured a classic Cadillac- style 2. M1. 92. 8A1 Thompson machine gun. Unlike the Beach Bum Update, content in Online was limited edition and was removed on March 3rd, 2. DLC. It featured three highend sportsvehicles, and a private jet. It also featured two advanced weapons, a Carbine Rifle and a pistol. This featured a hypercar, a sports car, a luxury SUV and a motorbike. It also featured another assault rifle. This featured six vehicles including twohatchbacks, a supermini, a lowrider, twosedans and an off road truck, an adapted version of an already present SUV. It also featured another pistol and knife. It featured a monster truck, motorbike, a classic Musket rifle and a firework launcher. Like Valentine's Day's DLC, it was limited edition. The content was removed on August 3rd 2. This featured four new vehicles : the Swift returning from The Ballad of Gay Tony, the Besra trainer jet, the Miljet military passenger jet, and the Coquette Classic, and introduced the Flight School for Online. It added a shotgun and a sniper rifle, twobikes and a sports car. The DLC includes the Vapid. Slamvan, returning from The Lost and Damned, a clean variant of the Rat- Loader and . Two new weapons were introduced, the Proximity Mine and the Homing Rocket Launcher. There was holiday themed clothing released as well as the ability to purchase a third property. The DLC features the Kuruma sports car, the Hydra and others that will be revealed properly soon. Trevor decides to return to the life of crime after spending all of his money that was earned during his criminal days. The state of San Andreas is also about five times larger than . After some calculations by members of Gawd. Almighty. com, that would equal to around 2. The three protagonists are Michael, Franklin and Trevor. Amidst the turmoil, three very different criminals plot their own chances of survival and success: Franklin, a former street gangster, now looking for real opportunities and serious money; Michael, a professional ex- con whose retirement is a lot less rosy than he hoped it would be; and Trevor, a violent maniac driven by the chance of a cheap high and the next big score. Running out of options, the crew risks everything in a series of daring and dangerous heists that could set them up for life. Trevor is the loose cannon in this story, and is also a long time best friend of Michael's and a hothead psychopath as well. Last but certainly not least, we have Franklin, a young and grim repossession agent who has a large amount of experience behind the wheel, but no real experience with crime until he meets Michael while he was trying to hustle. On change. org, there was a petition with 7. PC version at the time of announcement. Within the comments section of the Rockstar Newswire, and many other GTA. PC/Next Gen release. After its reveal at E3 2. With the release, there are many improvements and changes compared to the versions released on Play. Station 3 and Xbox 3. Several other features were added. These include (see edition comparison table for more information). Increased reflections on vehicle bodywork, especially in high- key lighting. New detailed interiors with working speedometers and steering wheels. New customization options, including underglow. The game is significantly more violent and offensive than its predecessor. The mission contains water- boarding, using a wrench on kneecaps and genitals, electrocution and even an action in which the player could pull a tooth using pliers. The player can also view it in first person perspective. One part was missions, as only three made the player profit, and only one of them topped $1,0. Missions were longer, more taxing and low to non- paying. Only seven non heist missions gave a payout; Franklin and Lamar gave the player $2. Nervous Ron gave the player $6. Lester's Assassinations gave the player anywhere between $3. The ending had three options and all but one involved killing a fellow protagonist. Names were not the same, but celebrities including Lindsay Lohan claimed that Rockstar used her likeness without permission for in game celeb Lacey Jonas. However, Rockstar snubbed this, claiming that it was just attention seeking. However, Dillinger was not signed on to Death Row at the time, and had an ongoing feud with Kurupt. The lawsuit was dropped, but the songs stayed in the game. Some of the license plates in the trailer are stylized as modern California license plates, while some are stylized after the 1. California plate, oddly out of place on new cars. It takes place in 2. Prologue and 2. 01. Interview with Joe Galloway: Soldier’s Reporter Speaks His Mind. By Vietnam magazine. Hal Moore and his beleaguered 1st Battalion, 7th Cavalry Regiment at Ia Drang. The epic Nov. 1. 96. Galloway took up arms to save soldiers’ lives—for which he received a Bronze Star with V Device—forged a deep friendship between the two men. Their collaboration led to two books, We Were Soldiers Once. Galloway’s storied career of reporting around the globe has spanned more than four decades. His unyielding commitment to truth—and to Vietnam vets—is as solid as ever. You were born just before Pearl Harbor. Did WWII have an impression on you? He was gone to war, as were five of his brothers and four of my mother’s brothers. So my earliest memories are of living in houses full of frightened women, peering out the window for the telegram man. It kind of sensitizes you to that stuff. I was young, but I followed the Korean War too. I well remember a local boy, a Marine killed in Korea, coming home to a hero’s funeral. Were you destined to be a war reporter? And preferably as Pyle covered his war. I didn’t see myself as doing it for a lifetime or a career. Did you see the Vietnam War coming? I was in Topeka, Kan., covering state politics and some juicy murder trials and things like that for the UPI. How does a kid reporter in the Midwest get to cover Vietnam?
I thought, it’s coming, and it’s my generation’s war and I’m going to be there, come hell or high water. I’d actually been working to get there since 1. I just started writing a letter each week to my bosses, explaining why they should send me to Vietnam. Well, you know, right after the 1. I got a call from my boss asking if you have a trench coat. I didn’t know what he was talking about and I said no. Karazhan is an abandoned ancient tower located in Deadwind Pass. Karazhan is notable for its famous occupant, the last Guardian of Tirisfal, Medivh. He said, “Well you better buy one, because you’ve been transferred to Tokyo.” It was the UPI Asia headquarters, so at least I was propositioned for Vietnam. So I got out there in November 1. I did was put in for a transfer to Saigon. The chief laughed at me and said “I just sent a second man to Saigon. There’s no way in the world we’ll need any more than that.” I said, “Well, we’ll see.”Did you know much about the place? There were many times that I wished some of those who were ordering this war and commanding it had done the same thing. Your wish didn’t take long to come true? They shipped me in and I had two days in Saigon and then I was off to cover the Marines. I cut my teeth on the Marines and made every operation in I Corps—I even made a combat amphibious assault landing. I was only 2. 3, but I had been working for UPI since 1. I’d worked for papers for a couple of years before that. Were you prepared for what you found? I’d seen some John Wayne movies and such and I thought, with the Marines landing, I need to get there in a hurry because it might be over pretty quick. How long before reality set in? I hadn’t even got to the black market to get fatigues and combat boots. Lucifer (Hebrew — Terraria (pronounced similar to "Terrarium") is a very detailed 2D Wide Open Sandbox indie game, created by Andrew "Redigit" Spinks and Jeremy "Blue". The Computer Is a Cheating Bastard trope as used in popular culture. The computer player is a cheating bastard whenever the "rules" differ between you and AI. His unyielding commitment to truth, and to Vietnam vets, is as solid as ever. I was still wearing chinos and loafers when Henri Huet, who was shooting pictures for UPI at Da Nang, dragged me onto a C- 1. I didn’t know. We landed in Quang Tri city. It was under so much heavy enemy pressure that the Americans would fly in to operate in the day but flew back out at night back to Da Nang. We got off that bird and Huet ran over to a Marine UH- 3. I still didn’t know where we were going but were off and soon we were circling a hill in the middle of a rice paddy. I could see concentric rings of fighting holes and people in them. Kracko is the boss of Level 6, Cloudy Park. Perhaps the most unorthodox Kracko fight in the series, Kracko is first fought as an. So we dropped down and landed, and the guy shut down the engine. When he did, there was literally dead silence on that hill and there was a battalion of South Vietnamese all dead. These guys hadn’t had time to dig a proper foxhole, but just to scrape out a little depression. Their hands were out like they were still holding rifles, but all the rifles were gone. We were there to pick up the bodies of the two American advisers. We stayed that night at the MACV compound, and it got mortared and the ARVN compound across the road was hit with a satchel charge. I then began to wonder just how long this might war might take. It didn’t seem to be going our way. So, even before Ia Drang, you were having doubts? If you read your Clauswitz, you know you need 1. And the South Vietnamese weren’t up to it? But it’s like we walked in and said, “OK, were taking over this war.” And, you know, the Vietnamese had been fighting a long time themselves and they were more than happy to sit back and see how we did. So, your views of the war were getting shaped right away? He was a very intense guy and we were sitting there, drinking tea, when he leaned forward in his chair and said: “Are you Americans serious about this? Are you here for the long run? Because we’ve been fighting this war for 2. I want you to know if you cut and run, your helicopters taking you out will have people shooting at them, and it will be me and my troops.” I sat there thinking, these are questions for Westmoreland, not me! But, you were confident we could defeat the Viet Cong? They were very skilled at what they did and made do with not a lot. But they were more a nuisance if you were a Marine battalion— unless they laid a battalion- size ambush, and then you’d have your hands full. How did Ia Drang affect you? And those guys, there was no quit in them, they came through a sea of our fire to close with us. Hal Moore looked at me one time and said, “You know, I’m really glad we don’t have to walk to work through that.” That’s when I really realized that we’d bit off a really big chunk here and I wasn’t sure it going to turn out very well at all. You thought that, but couldn’t say it in your reporting? We were not paid to have an opinion and if we did we were to keep it to ourselves. And for me, there was the other thing. I thought, “This war we can’t win but I’m not going to say that, because I don’t want to hurt my friends, the soldiers who are fighting this war.” You know the one thing about soldiers is that if they are in combat and they are losing their friends and buddies, you can’t tell them that they died for nothing. You can’t say that, you wound them, you hurt them, you damage them. And that I could not do. Do you regret that you couldn’t express what you were beginning to believe? I did go home on leave in 1. I showed some of my pictures and I told them the truth as I saw it. I said: “You know we are really up against it, and I’m not sure this will come out well. This will take a lot longer and a lot more of your sons, and even then you have to know, if we are going to go into this thing, are you going to stick with it? Because this is going to be a lot harder than anybody thinks.” I don’t know what of that audience absorbed, you know, it was very early in the war and the folks down here are very patriotic. Were they feeling the war directly by then? Some of them were the best friends of my life and all but one of them was Hispanic. They were drafted, late 1. And who got drafted then? If mama had money to get you into college, you didn’t get drafted or if you had some plausible excuse, but these kids got drafted. You’ve been called a “soldier’s reporter.” Why is that? I didn’t go over there to cover Saigon politics, I was there to cover soldiers in the field, which was what I saw as my job. There were maybe 5. Vietnam, but I saw the same 1. There were just those people that did their job and it was the one they wanted to do even though it was not particularly easy to spend a lot of nights on the ground and in a foxhole and get shot at a lot. But if you’re going to be reporting on soldiers in a war, that’s where you have to be. What was that experience like, diving into an operation? You hooked up with a company and you were dressed like they were, you marched alongside them and sooner or later there was time for a smoke break and you’re sitting there in whatever shade you can find and the Marine or GI next to you looks around and says, “Who the hell are you?” When you say you’re a reporter, he looks at you and says: “You’re a civilian and you’re out here with me? Damn, they must pay you a lot of money.” When I’d say, “No, I work for UPI, the cheapest outfit in the world,” he’d say, “Well, then you’re crazy!” Then the next guy down the line asks, “Who is that guy?” He’s a “crazy damn reporter.” But if you stay the night, and the next day you became “their crazy damn reporter.” And nobody understands crazy like the infantry. They didn’t have much but they were the soul of generosity—the grunts would share their last canteen of water with you. They didn’t have much, but they would share it all, including their lives and their deaths. Was it tough when guys you were with were suddenly gone? Three days later they hit a mine and killed them all. Those things happen and they are stunning in the intensity of it. And as you get into worse fights, then you’ve got dead and wounded people all around you and, you know, you just have to do like the soldiers do. You’ve got to do your job first. And there is not time to deal with it? I had a young woman photographer with us and one of the guys she’d been talking to, Tony Nadall, who’d been a company commander at Ia Drang, found the headstone of a sergeant who was his radioman on the first day at LZ Xray. There were five of them abreast with Nadall out forward when a burst of machine gun fire came across and killed the other four. Nadall didn’t see it and couldn’t hear it because of the din of battle. He only knew something was wrong when the cord on his radio stretched to the max. He turned back and saw them all lying there. Well, when he saw this tombstone, he just knelt down and wept. Later, the photographer asked him, “You know, that was a long time ago, why are you weeping now?” Nadall said: “At the time nobody could stop to grieve, if we did stop to grieve for every man who was killed, we’d all die. We had to keep going to do the job. We told ourselves we’d deal with this some other time. Terraria (Video Game) - TV Tropes. Killer Unicorns, Sharknadoes, Eye Demons, and rocks! D exploration at its best!! A land of mystery! A land that's yours to shape, to defend and to enjoy. Your options in Terraria are limitless, are you an action gamer with an itchy trigger finger? A master builder? A collector? An explorer? There's something for everyone here. It was made available on Steam on May 1. The game is also available on Xbox Live Arcade, Play Station Network, i. OS, Android and the Nintendo 3. DS. Terraria focuses on exploring the gorgeous randomly generated world you're stranded in, to find resources to build a cozy home, equip yourself with armor and potions, befriend merchants, and defend your town from monsters. You start from scratch with little more than a pickaxe and some trees and end up crafting epic- level equipment to fight massive demons, dig cave systems throughout the land, and build a fortress that can withstand full- on invasions. You can share every world you create with your friends in single- player and multiplayer, and freely visit any map with any character. The game is an item- based RPG variation on some of the most popular randomly generated exploration games, particularly Minecraft. True to classic Metroidvanias, a strong focus is on finding upgrades to help you move around in the world better (such as accessories to let you breathe underwater) and increase your life and mana pools. You also end up with multiple helpful NPCs living in your homes that will sell things to you, heal you, and otherwise enhance your base through their services. Terraria has boss monsters that will challenge players who dare to summon them, and murder those who aren't ready. Players can choose between Normal mode and Expert mode (which determines how difficult and rewarding the gameplay is), and can also choose a permadeath mode during character creation (. Finally, Terraria features a streamlined crafting system as well as many, many decorations so that you can truly make your home your own. According to Redigit, a sequel, currently titled Terraria 2, is in the works. A small team will continue to work on the original Terraria however. Terraria Otherworld, an Alternate Universe spinoff, has been announced to be in development. A trailer was shown at GDC 2. There are also weapons which fire things such as stars, coins, snowballs, candy corn, stakes and explosive Jack 'O Lanterns. Taken even further with a few bows, the Bee's Knees and the Hellwing Bow, that fire bees and flaming bats respectively. They still use normal arrows, however. The Explosive Bunny takes the cake, however, due to being fired from a specific cannon that has no other use. Absurd Altitude: The game lets you visit the uppermost layer of the world, named Space. Depending on your gear and the size of your world, you could reach it in a single leap. Advancing Boss of Doom: The Wall of Flesh in the Underworld. After Boss Recovery: Most bosses throw out a whole bunch of hearts upon death. During Moon events, these hearts can be life savers. A. I. Breaker: The game has a pathfinding problem. Enemies only know how to reach you in a straight line, meaning a simple thin lava pit on either side of a house means infinite money as the enemies stroll in and immolate themselves. On the flip side, this will usually destroy loot in the underground areas where the lava is too deep. Enemies are also too stupid to walk around an obstacle when you're above them, since they only target you by the y- axis. This allows to effectively lock some enemies on a higher level of blocks. Doors open in either direction, but zombies normally can't open them if they're shut. This changes during the Blood Moon, but zombies only gain the ability to kick doors in. Due to the way the game handles sprites, putting anything other than a wall tile on one side of a door will prevent it from opening, meaning that if you simply hang a colored banner behind a door, it only opens outward and is thus zombie- proof. By the same token, if you dig a pit in front of the door, they can't touch it. Airborne Mook: Pre Hardmode: The Demon Eyes, Cursed Skulls note Formerly called Burning Skulls, Hornets, Eaters of Souls, Meteor Heads, all kinds of Bats, Demons, flying fish, Vulture, Harpies, Antlion Swarmers, and Granite Elementals. Hardmode: The Wraith, Corruptor, Wandering Eye, Crimson's Floaty Gross, Hallow's Pixies, Gastropods, Elfcopters, Pirate Parrots, Martian Drones, Desert Spirits, and several of the Lunar Event enemies. Besides, Wyverns make an appearance if you go high enough in the sky. Alchemy: As described on the Functional Magic page being magical chemistry. This is used to create a variety of potions out of a variety of ingredients. Alien Invasion: The Martian Madness event, where Martians and their machines attack in a manner similar to the Goblin/Pirate Invasion, and the Lunar event that has you fighting the invading armies of the moon. All Deserts Have Cacti: Taken to the Logical Extreme; not only does every variety of desert (normal, corrupt, crimson, and hallowed) have cacti, there is a chance for cacti to grow on any full sand block on the surface and exposed to air, unless it's in ocean range. All- Natural Gem Polish: Once you mine a gem, it appears in its cut and polished form in your inventory. All Your Powers Combined: The entire point of everything in the Tinkerer's Workshop. It allows you combine multiple useful accessory items into a single item. This is extremely useful because players are limited to five accessory slots. Most of the examples to follow are created using it. The Neptune's Shell and the Werewolf Charm can be combined into the Moon Shell, which gives the player the power to become a Werewolf at night and a Merfolk when submerged. The powers are mutually exclusive, however, so you lose the wolf transformation if you become submerged at night. The Sun and Moon stone accessories gift you with stat boosts only during the day and night, respectively, but when fused together, the resulting Celestial Charm provides the boost all the time. Combine this charm with the above- mentioned Moon Shell and get all their buffs at once in a single slot with the Celestial Shell. Most of the X in a Bottle accessories can be combined with Shiny Red Balloons to make the X In A Balloon items, which can then be fused together into a Bundle of Balloons that gives you three additional midair jumps. The individual balloons can also be fused with the Lucky Horseshoe to form Horseshoe Balloons. Hermes Boots can be combined with the Rocket Boots so you can run fast and fly. Combining the resulting Spectre Boots with the Aglet and the Anklet of Winds creates the Lightning Boots, which increases base movement speed. Then you add the Ice Skates to create the Frostspark Boots, which allow for mobility on icy terrain. Water Walking Boots can be fireproofed with an Obsidian Skull and a Lava Charm. The resulting Lava Waders lets you walk on lava, water, and honey, and grants temporary protection from lava damage. For interior decorators, the Extendo- Grip, Brick Layer, Paint Sprayer, and Portable Cement Mixer can be combined into the Architect Gizmo Pack. The Diving Helmet and Flippers can be combined into Diving Gear. This can be fused with the Jellyfish Necklace to get light while diving deep into dark waters, and then you can add the Ice Skates to this to also add mobility bonuses while on ice. The Yoyo accessories added in 1. Counterweight, Yoyo Glove, and Yoyo String) can be combined into the Yoyo Bag, which will give you all their benefits in a single inventory slot (namely, additional Counterweight and secondary Yoyo projectiles that will orbit and dance around, plus improved Yoyo reach). Taken Up to Eleven with the Ankh Shield, which is eleven different items fused into one: the Obsidian Skull, Cobalt Shield, Trifold Map, Fast Clock, Vitamins, Armor Polish, Blindfold, Nazar, Megaphone, Bezoar, and Adhesive Bandage. It grants immunity to 9 debuffsnote Weak, Broken Armor, Poisoned, Bleeding, Slow, Confused, Silenced, Cursed, and Darkness as well as to knockback and fire blocks. You can't get more compact than that. The Cell Phone, added in 1. It combines the twelve informational items into a single PDA which provides the combined functionality of all 1. When held in your inventory it outputs fishing information, weather, moon phase, elevation, distance east/west, time, nearest valuable treasure, player speed, current DPS, number of monsters killed, rare nearby creatures, and number of nearby enemies. Then you can combine the PDA with a Magic Mirror to create the Cell Phone which both displays info and lets you teleport to your bedside. The Angler Tackle Bag combines the benefits of all three fishing accessories, preventing line breaks, adding a bonus chance to save bait, and boosting your fishing power. The Multicolor Wrench takes one each of the wrenches of all colors plus a wirecutter and turns them all into a multi- tool. Combine it with a Ruler, a Mechanical Lens, and some wire, and you get the Grand Design, which makes it even easier to work with wiring. You don't even need to keep it equipped; the ruler and wire- viewing abilities function as long as it's in your inventory, though wire cutting and placement require equipping it. Unrelated to the Tinkerer's Workshop is the Night's Edge, which is crafted by combining the Blade of Grass, Fiery Greatsword, Muramasa, and the Light's Bane at a Demon/Crimson Altar. This is followed by the Terra Blade in Hardmode. You have to combine the Night's Edge with the Broken Hero Sword to create the True Night's Edge, forge Excalibur from Hallowed bars and combine it with another Broken Hero Sword to create the True Excalibur, and then combine the two to make the Terra Blade. It's well worth it, though, as the Terra Blade is one of the the best swords in the game. Always Night: The aboveground mushroom biome; it automatically turns to night whenever you enter. Daytime's still preserved outside of the biome. TV Series Chicago PD season 4 Download at High Speed! Full Show episodes get FREE in.mp4 HD 720p.

Best film songs based on classical ragas. Guest article by Subodh Agrawal(My friend Subodh Agrawal is a great music lover and a keen follower of my blog. Tags: Download Songs Mp3 Songs,hindi movie Mp3 Songs of Songs download,download bollywood movie songs Mp3 Movie Songs,320Kbps & 128Kbps, 190Kbps format, Download. After his term in prison is over, he moves to Sonpur and. Check out the collection of OLD HINDI SONGS from 50's to 90's era. This blog is dedicated to the golden age of Hindi cinema. Lyrics and video of songs from movies released in the decade 1970s. He once suggested I write on films songs based on classical ragas. This was already in my mind, but then I realised Subodh is much better equipped to do it. I am grateful that he accepted my request to do a guest series of articles on this theme. This curtain raiser showcasing his favourite 1. I am sure there are many more to come from his pen. He bounced it back to me, thanks to some pretensions I have of knowing something about classical music. I have accepted the commission with some reluctance, being well aware of how little I actually know about it. I had first thought of doing a list like . I may yet get around to doing that for the major ragas music directors of Hindi film industry love – likes of Bhairavi, Yaman, Malkauns, Darbari, Pilu etc. What I have chosen to do now is to list ten iconic songs based on classical ragas that don’t have such large repertoires of film songs. Years back when I was flirting with classical music and trying to get a feel for different ragas, these songs were used by my friend and teacher Pankaj Sharan to help me get that feel. Raga Jaijaiwanti: Manmohana bade jhoothe by Lata Mangeshkar from Seema (1. Shailendra, music Shankar Jaikishan. The first of these iconic songs is Manmohna bade jhoote from Seema. Raga Jaijaiwanti is easy to recognize – thanks to its pakad or catch- phrase – rising from ni, just touching ga and then coming to rest on re: the final . This movement gives this raga a nice teasing quality – which has been put to good use by Shankar Jaikishan in this song that combines bhakti and shringar rasas: The original composition of Ram Dhun is in raga Jaijaiwanti. The popular version misses out most of the nuances of the raga, but this rendering by Pandit DV Paluskar is an excellent presentation: 2. Raga Bageshree: Radha na bole na bole re by Lata Mangeshkar from Azad (1. Rajendra Krishna, music C Ramchandra. I had a tough time choosing between Jaag dard- e ishq jaag and Radha na bole na bole re as my iconic song for Bageshree. Ultimately I have opted for the latter, as it stays closer to the standard format of the raga. In any case, this was the song my friend used to help me into the nuances of this raga. A treat for those fans of Songs of Yore who missed it in AK’s post on C Ramachandra: Like most great ragas Bageshree can be used to express a variety of moods. The song above presents its playful mood. The classical piece below shows what this raga can do to express yearning and pathos. Malini Rajurkar sings a composition that was made famous by the late Kumar Gandharva: 3. Raga Bhimpalasi: Beena madhur mdhur kachhu bol by Saraswati Rane from Ram Rajya (1. Ramesh Gupta, music Shankarrao Vyas. I have often wondered why raga Bhimpalasi has such a martial and masculine name, because it is one of the sweetest sounding ragas. My friend had used E ri main to prem diwani to introduce me to this raga, but then I discovered Beena madhur madhur kachhu bol by Saraswati Rane for Ramrajya in his collection of old 7. According to Wikipedia Saraswati Rane was born as Sakina, daughter of legendary Ustad Abdul Karim Khan– doyen of the Kirana Gharana. Her mother Tarabai later separated from Ustad ji and reverted to Hindu names for her children. Her brother Sureshbabu Mane and sister Hirabai Barodekar also distinguished themselves in classical music. So here it is – one of the most haunting melodies from the golden era: Now you may want to hear Ustad Abdul Karim Khan himself render the same raga: 4. Raga Bhopali: Jyoti kalash chhalke by Lata Mangeshkar from Bhabhi Ki Chudyan (1. Narendra Sharma, music Sudhir Phadke. Bhopali is a subset of my favourite raga Yaman. It is essentially Yaman without the fourth and seventh note. Doing so takes away some of the gravity of Yaman and retains a feeling of pure joy. Another raga from the same family – Shudh Kalyan – omits these two notes in ascending movements, and includes them in descending ones and the mood falls somewhere between Bhopali and Yaman. Pandit Omkar Nath Thakur, in fact, didn’t like the name Shudh Kalyan and insisted on calling it Bhoop Kalyan. For me the iconic composition in Bhopali is the famous Jyoti kalash chhalke composed by Sudhir Phadke from Bhabhi ki Chudiyan: I was with a lot of Maharashtrian friends when I was learning the rudiments of classical music. They introduced me to Ghanashyam Sundara from the 1. Marathi film Amar Bhupali. Some of them claimed that this song was the inspiration for Jyoti Kalash Chaalke. Listen to the song and make your own judgment: Ghanshaym sundara sindura by Panditrao Nagarkar and Lata Mangeshkar from Amar Bhupali (1. Vasant Desai. 5. Raga Hameer: Madhuban mein Radhika nachee re by Mohammad Rafi from Kohinoor (1. Shakeel Badayuni, music Naushad. Raga Hameer was introduced to the masses by Madhuban mein Radhika nachi re. It remains to this day the most complete and authentic presentation of this raga in film music. Let the song speak for itself: Years back, long before I developed an ear for classical music, I had read an article in a magazine on Khansaheb Bade Ghulam Ali Khan. A line remained in my mind – . I couldn’t find a recording of Khansaheb’s Hameer in the days of vinyl records and tapes. Amar, Akbar and Anthony are all brothers.

Raga Hamsadhwani: Ja tose nahin bolun Kanhaiya by Manna Dey and Lata Mangeshkar from Parivaar (1. Shailenra, music Salil Chaudhary. Now a raga from the South. Hamsadhwani is very popular in Carnatic music and I understand no concert in the South is complete without a rendition of the famous composition Vaathapi Ganapathim, which was adapted in the film Parivar as Ja tose nahin bolun kanhaiya. Hamsadhwani was a favourite raga of Ustad Ameer Khan and he did a lot to popularize it in the North. Here is a tarana by him in this raga: 7. Raga Kalawati: Kahe tarsaye jiyara by Usha Mangeshkar and Asha Bhosle from Chitralekha (1. Sahir Ludhiyanvi, music Roshan. Another raga from the south – Kalawati. Kahe tarsaye jiyara is the iconic composition in this raga; though another famous one is Koi sagar dil ko behlata nahin. I am presenting the former, as to me it captures the mood of the raga much better (Koi Sagar has some elements of Janasammohini in it). Roshan has done a great job – as always: A little change in the structure of Kalawati – addition of . I wish to share with you here is a Shabad from Gurbani in Kalawati – Re man aiso kar sanyasa. This recording is in the voice of Asha Bhosle, as taken for the Punjabi Film Nanak naam jahaaz hai. One of the most appealing aspects of Sikhism for a non- Sikh is the quality of Sikh devotional music. I have to thank my colleague KBS Sidhu for posting the link on Facebook: 8. Raga Gaud Malhar: Garjat barsat saawan ayo re by Suman Kalyanpur and Kamal Barot from Barsaat Ki Raat (1. Sahir Ludhiyanavi, music Roshan. Malhar has spawned many variants. The most well known is Miyan ki Malhar. I learnt only recently that Miyan ki Malhar is not the original Malhar, but a variant evolved by Tansen. Today when one simply says Malhar one means Miyan ki Malhar. The original Malhar is now known as Shudh Malhar. There are very few recordings in it. There are many others – Des Malhar, Gaud Malhar, Ramdasi Malhar etc. Gaud Malhar has two famous songs that sound practically the same – Garjat barsat saawan aayo re from Barsaat ki Raat, and Garjat barsat bheejat aayi lo from Malhar – both composed by Roshan. The ghazal Jurm- e ulfat pe hamein log sazaa dete hain from Tajmahal is also supposed to be based on Gaud Malhar, though I confess I couldn’t identify the raga on hearing it. It sounded more like Chhayanat to me, with some extra notes thrown in. Here, anyway, is the song from Barsaat ki Raat: Now listen to Pandit Jasraj present the same raga: 9. Raga Kedar: Darshan do Ghnashyam by Hemant Kumar, Mana Dey and Sudha Malhotra from Narsi Bhagat (1. Gopal Singh . The iconic song is Darshan do Ghanshyam form Narsi Bhagat. Other songs in this raga are Hamko man ki shakti dena from Guddi and Main pagal mera manwa pagal by Talat Mahmood from Ashiana. None of the others, however, come close to Darshan do Ghanshyam with the voices of Hemant Kumar, Sudha Malhotra and Manna Dey beautifully complementing each other: Of the classical recordings I found on Youtube this one by Ustad Rashid Khan sounded best to me: 1. Raga Ahir Bhairav: Poochho na kaise meine rain bitayee by Manna Dey from Meri Surat Teri Aankhen (1. Shailendra,music SD Burman. Earlier I remarked on the name of Bhimpalasi and the mismatch between its mood and its name. There is no such mismatch for Bhairav. The mood of the raga in its pure classical form is very much what its name suggests – ponderous, somber and overpowering. Think of Raat bhar ka hai mehmaan andhera – although some websites suggest that it is not Bhairav but Jogiya. Music directors have, however, used Bhairav to create some serene and pleasing compositions like Jago mohan pyare from Jaagte raho, and Man re hari ke gun ga from Musafir, by taking some liberties with its movement. Among Bhairav’s variants Bairagi Bhairav is what its name suggests. Nat Bhairav can actually be joyful. Ahir Bhairav, on the other hand, can be very poignant as Poochho na kaise maine rain bitayee from Meri Surat Teri Aankhen amply proves. A strong contender for the title of the best Raga based song from films: Sanjeev Abhyankar started off by modeling himself on Pandit Jasraj, but now he has evolved his own distinctive style. Here is his rendition of Ahir Bhairav. It sounds beautiful in his rich sonorous voice: That brings me to the end of this list. This is the first time I have written something – other than notes on official files – that was meant to be read by others. If you like it please thank AK for motivating me. One more thing: while searching for classical pieces on Bhopali I came across this recording on Youtube by Ustad Sayeeduddin Dagar. Bollywood Hindi Movie Song Download.

He wants to buy Company A shares to profit from their expected price increase, as he believes that shares are currently underpriced. But Company A is part of a highly volatile widget industry. So there is a risk of a future event that affects stock prices across the whole industry, including the stock of Company A along with all other companies. A New England Patriots fan, for example, could bet their opponents to win to reduce the negative emotions felt if the team loses a game. People typically do not bet against desired outcomes that are important to their identity, due to negative signal about their identity that making such a gamble entails. Betting against your team or political candidate, for example, may signal to you that you are not as committed to them as you thought you were. Consider an example. The exporter's treasurer has sold Canadian dollars forward to protect against a fall in the Canadian currency. Alternatively she could have used the borrowing market to achieve the same objective. She would borrow Canadian dollars, which she would then change into Euros in the spot market, and hold them in a Euro deposit for two months.

Depending on the amount of assets in the hedge funds advised by a manager, some hedge fund managers may not be required to register or to file public reports with the SEC.

Without the disclosure that the securities laws require for most mutual funds, it can be more difficult to fully evaluate the terms of an investment in a hedge fund.

The key difference between hedge funds and mutual funds is that your participation in a hedge fund or other investment fund is a private securities transaction. Since hedge funds and other investment funds are private offerings, some of their activity is unregulated, which places more responsibility on the investor to research the fund, its managers, its financials, its track record, its investment strategy, and the risks associated with that strategy to determine whether the hedge fund or investment fund is a sound and prudent investment.
