Norwegian is closely related to Danish and Swedish, written Norwegian is virtually identical to Danish, whereas Swedes and Norwegians understand each other very easy.

Based on the real-life prison break of two political captives, Escape From Pretoria is a race-against-time thriller set in the tumultuous apartheid days of South Africa. The level of violence offers a glimpse into the brutality of the apartheid regime without glamorizing or stylizing it, while the costumes and settings - as well as the surprisingly natural South African accents from British, American, and Australian actors - expertly realize the time and place. Every intricate pencil drawing, piece of chewing gum stuck precariously on the end of a broomstick, and fragile wooden key entering a steel lock feels like it deserves a prize for engineering - each tiny victory filmed with a real-time urgency that leaves the heart thumping. Based on the real-life prison break of two political captives set in the tumultuous apartheid days of South Africa.more. Tim Jenkin and Stephen Lee, two white political activists from the African National Congress imprisoned by the apartheid regime, put a plan in motion to escape from the infamous Pretoria Prison. Quiet and still, scenes of Jenkin, Lee, and Fontaine testing the keys in the stolen moments between warden patrols is a lesson in building tension, holding the audience's attention (and breath) as sweat literally drips down the actors' necks.

The main combat use of Relocate may not be immediately apparent on the first read. It isn’t ideal, but sometimes you just gotta move! While this usage is essentially a worse version of misty step since it costs an action instead of a bonus action, it can still be worthwhile when the mage simply must reach a certain place on time and hasn’t prepared or learned another teleportation spell. This spell can even be used for teleportation without any offensive use: if you are desperate, you can simply teleport up to 30 feet without attacking any enemies at all. While its not the strongest at any of those effects alone, altogether it can make for a very potent turn at the cost of just one 2nd-level slot. This spell combines the single-target damage of the best 1st-level spells, the teleportation of the 2nd-level misty step (normally a bonus action), and the prone effect. The first spell has been dreamed about ever since that first crazy player looked at their little teleportation spell and asked their DM “Wait, can I try to teleport through the monster to damage it?” Beluud’s Brutal Jaunt is exactly what results when a mage attempts this little deadly trick. These two spells were designed, among other reasons, to provide characters looking to specialize in teleportation magic with offensive options to use in combat that don’t feel out of place with the rest of the character concept. But the power of instantly changing a creature or object’s location can be used for so much more than simple re-positioning. Most teleportation spells in 5th edition D&D don’t have combat applications other than simply changing the location of yourself, an ally, or an enemy. ![]() ![]() The "Big Four" American stone skipping contests include (in order of establishment and participant rankings): The record for most World Championship wins also sits with Dougie Isaacs (Scotland), with 8 Men's World Stone Skimming Championship wins (2005, 2007, 2010, 2011, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016) and the Women's World Stone Skimming Championship wins record sits with Lucy Wood (England) with 5 wins (2012, 2013, 2015, 2016, 2018). There are several stone skimming championships held. ![]() These records were made on at Abernant Lake, Llanwrtyd Wells, Powys, Wales. The Guinness World Record for the furthest distance skimmed using natural stone stands at 121.8m for men, established by Dougie Isaacs (Scotland), and 52.5m for women, thrown by Nina Luginbuhl (Switzerland). Kurt Steiner also held the world record between 20 with a throw of 40 skips, achieved in competition in Franklin, PA. Before him, the record was 51 skips, set by Russell Byars on July 19, 2007, skipping at the same location. The previous record was 65 skips, by Max Steiner (no relation), set at Riverfront Park, Franklin, Pennsylvania. The cast was achieved on September 6, 2013, at Red Bridge in the Allegheny National Forest, Pennsylvania. The world record for the number of skips, according to the Guinness Book of Records, is 88, by Kurt "Mountain Man" Steiner. An early explanation of the physics of stone-skipping was provided by Lazzaro Spallanzani in the 18th century. Among the first documented evidence stone skipping as a sport was in England, where it was described as "Ducks and Drakes" in 1583. ![]() ![]() Greek scholar Julius Pollux also noted the game in Onomastikon. The act of skipping stones was mentioned by Marcus Minucius Felix in his dialogue Octavius, in which he described children playing a game on the beach. ![]() ![]() ![]() workplace, school, family, social settings, and health care) 3, with various negative social, psychological, and economic consequences. Anti‐fat stigma, or negative attitudes about people who are in the overweight or obese weight range 2, is present across many areas of life (e.g. You, me, and everything on land and sea are organic.Up to 40% of American adults have experienced anti‐fat stigma personally 1. Unless you personally know the farmer or the company selling the products, don't trust what you read. So be cautious the next time you buy anything labeled as 'organic'. If you go to jungles or forests untouched by man, you will see fruit and vegetables that look like they sprouted from trees from Heaven. Chemical-free foods can look perfect if grown in your backyard. ![]() I have a friend who thinks that organic foods have to look beat up and deformed because the use of chemicals is what makes them look perfect and flawless. So, the next time you stroll through your local supermarket and see brown pears that are labeled as being organic, know that they could have been third-rate fare sourced from the last day of a weekend market, and have been re-labeled to be sold to a gullible crowd for a premium price. ![]() The word 'organic' comes from the word 'organism', meaning something that is, or once was, living and breathing air, water and sunlight. After all, all organisms on earth are scientifically labeled as being organic, unless they are made of plastic or metal. The truth is, the word 'organic' can mean many things, and taking a farmer to court would be difficult if you found out his fruits were indeed sprayed with pesticides. Either the apple tree itself is free from chemicals, or just the soil. If an apple is labeled as being organic, it could mean two things. You pay premium prices for products you think are grown without chemicals, but most products are. Most products labeled as being organic are not really organic. If I was a lawyer representing a company that had labeled its oranges as being organic, and a man was suing my client because he found out that the oranges were being sprayed with toxins, my defense opening statement would be very simple: "If it's not plastic or metallic, it's organic." I am using this example to touch upon the myth of organic foods. This means that you can deceptively use words with double meanings to sell a product, even though they could mislead customers into thinking your words mean something different. In a marketing class in college, we were assigned this case study to show us that 'puffery' is legal. The container is indeed 'light in weight'. In court, the lawyer representing the butter company simply held up the container of butter and said to the judge, "My client did not lie. She claimed to have gained so much weight from eating the butter, even though it was labeled as being 'LITE'. ![]() Let my girls be Hermiones, rather than Pansy Parkinsons.”Ī few decades ago, a woman tried to sue a butter company that had printed the word 'LITE' on its product's packaging. And frankly, I’d rather they didn’t give a gust of stinking chihuahua flatulence whether the woman standing next to them has fleshier knees than they do. I’ve got two daughters who will have to make their way in this skinny-obsessed world, and it worries me, because I don’t want them to be empty-headed, self-obsessed, emaciated clones I’d rather they were independent, interesting, idealistic, kind, opinionated, original, funny – a thousand things, before ‘thin’. Aren’t either of those things more important, more interesting, than my size?’ But no – my waist looked smaller! Forget the kid and the book: finally, something to celebrate! What I felt like saying was, ‘I’ve produced my third child and my sixth novel since I last saw you. ‘Well,’ I said, slightly nonplussed, ‘the last time you saw me I’d just had a baby.’ The first thing she said to me? ‘You’ve lost a lot of weight since the last time I saw you!’ After the award ceremony I bumped into a woman I hadn’t seen for nearly three years. I went to the British Book Awards that evening. I mean, is ‘fat’ really the worst thing a human being can be? Is ‘fat’ worse than ‘vindictive’, ‘jealous’, ‘shallow’, ‘vain’, ‘boring’ or ‘cruel’? Not to me but then, you might retort, what do I know about the pressure to be skinny? I’m not in the business of being judged on my looks, what with being a writer and earning my living by using my brain… “Fat’ is usually the first insult a girl throws at another girl when she wants to hurt her. ![]() ![]() To computer not recognizing USB error in Windows, you must first determine the cause of the problem.

That’s the name for folk like you and me – Muggles – those without powers. You wouldn’t have heard of them as they’re protected by the veil – shielding their identities to the Mundane. They are unsung heroes featuring mages, spirits and numerous deities with supernatural abilities and intuition. Fortunately, you don’t remember these events but will get flashbacks here and there as you are soon recruited to join/serve the Unavowed. Why? Well, because of the investigative nature of the story.Ĭontinuing from this rooftop exposition, it transpires that you were possessed by a demon for a full-on year, committing horrible atrocities – murder, manipulation, cult worshipping and biting your fingernails. I don’t entirely know at this stage as those will be for future playthroughs, but in short, I made the right choice for me and my experience. This profession, or class, allows specific dialogue scenes with characters that took me down a path that perhaps the other two choices wouldn’t. Either I have some foresight or played too many games, as this accurately described my game persona (in real life too, don’t you know!?). Intuitively, this felt like it would mould my playing style into empathy, allowing NPCs to bend my ear and open up in dialogue options. Without overthinking the three options, I went for the bartender role – nothing to do with aspirations or a former life. Our entry into the narrative is a rooftop scene where you are being held against your willĭepicted by silhouettes, you craft your protagonist by confirming whether you’re male or female and then state your profession. But before this review gets completely derailed with lip service, let’s focus on the title in question and how a tale of jinn, demons and poltergeists can be so incredibly human. With my steadily growing catalogue by the developer/publisher, I note that the production is of the highest calibre – using quality voice talent throughout ( Unavowed is a full-on talkie, like Primordia, not just text) – the artwork is also superb. I first encountered this with Strangeland and found the whole experience fascinating, informative and added value to gameplay – sharing some behind the scenes insights and perhaps filling in any blanks with concepts. But what sets apart Wadjet Eye Games, at least in my opinion, are the bonus commentaries. There’s also the almost customary highlight option to indicate points of interest. The left stick moves the cursor quickly, the right is systematic, and the d-pad will digitally shift to points of interest and dialogue. ![]() ![]() ![]() Pi Xiu is a fierce animal and they will fight against each other if you have too many at home.
