Following the collapse of the Kabul government, a fight seemed inevitable, crushing hopes for a peaceful transfer of power to a rebel coalition. Only hours earlier, rival mujahedin groups in Peshawar, Pakistan, agreed to a 50-man transitional council that would guide the country toward elections within two years. In an effort to blunt years of animosity between the two leading commanders, guerrilla leaders named Massoud as defense minister and Hekmatyar as prime minister....

But it didn’t take long before so-called Justus Township turned into the camp from hell-a bored, faction-ridden collective that couldn’t agree on much, least of all how to get what it wanted in exchange for getting out. The native Montanans banished some of the out-of-staters from their FBI-negotiating sessions. The women did the cleaning while the men paraded around with store-bought sheriff s badges and a gun on each hip....

But you may want to consider adding a Japanese philosophy to your potential strategies, and that is the practice of Kaizen. What Is Kaizen? Kaizen has been variously described as a strategy of continuous improvement, a business philosophy and approach to action. In fact, the Japanese word Kaizen means “change for better.” What most descriptions of and approaches to Kaizen have in common is the concept of applying small changes on a continuous basis to reach a larger overall goal....

In the first place, how are both Combat and Class Engravings even obtained in Smilegate’s MMORPG Lost Ark? Well, let’s take a look at all the ways they’re acquired, as well as what methods are the best. How To Get Them The primary method of getting Engraving Books is as a reward for Quests (also a great method of farming Silver). These can be Story Quests, Side Quests, Roster Quests, or even World Quests, and players likely received a large chunk of them when they leveled their first character from 1 to 50....

There are lots of different types of poetry and songs in the book, from sorrowful to joyous, from prophetic to reminiscent. One of the strongest themes that run throughout the trilogy is songs of mourning and loss, including the lament the elves sing to Gandalf in Lothlorien, after he falls from the bridge of Khazad-Dum, a song that Aragorn and Legolas sing in grief at the death of Boromir at the hands of the Uruk-hai, during the Fellowship of the Ring, and a mourning for the death of King Theoden and the other brave soldiers who died in the battle of Pelennor Fields, as well as the song that Eowyn, who sacrificed a lot for Middle Earth, sings for her cousin Theodred as he is laid into the burial mounds at Rohan in the Two Towers....

In the chapter ‘A long expected party’ of Tolkien’s original work, Gandalf replies ‘I hope he will. But nobody will read the book, however it ends.’ This is one of the very few times that the wise grey wizard is wrong, for the Red Book becomes a very important document in not only hobbit history but also in the other kingdoms of Middle Earth.

Louis Van Gaal is a Dutch football manager and presently the head coach of Dutch national team. Looking at his illustrious managerial career , he has managed teams like Ajax, FC Barcelona and Bayern Munich. Unlike Moyes whose career had been devoid of trophies, Louis Van Gaal doesn’t have any shortage of them. He has won Eredivisie , La Liga , Bundesliga as well as UEFA Champions League. Louis Van Gaal is known for his attacking style of play, but it generally regarded as a slow stater because of the players seeking an ample amount of time to embed his vision of play....

Louis van Gaal has some justification to be displeased, as Twitter erupted with the fake ‘news’ of his sacking last night. The Dutchman feels quite wronged by the media, who have speculated incessantly about his future with good reason, given United’s poor run of form and the availability of Jose Mourinho and Pep Guardiola. Taking the microphone as soon as he was seated, Van Gaal was typically forthright, saying, “Has anybody in this room not a feeling to apologise to me?...

Weiser, who also serves as a regent for the University of Michigan, made the highly controversial remarks during a political event in Michigan’s Oakland County. “Our job now is to soften up those three witches and make sure we have good candidates to run against them, that they are ready for the burning at the stake,” he said, referring to Whitmer as well as Michigan’s Attorney General Dana Nessel and Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson, both of whom are Democrats....

In this fast-food, face-lift, no-fault-divorce world of ours, the slate roof feels like the closest we will come to eternity. It, and the three children for whom it is really being laid down. Another Mother’s Day has come and gone as the roofers work away in the pale May sun and the gray May rain. It is a silly holiday, and not for all the reasons people mention most, not because it was socially engineered to benefit card shops, florists and those who slake the guilt of neglect with once-a-year homage....

Let’s start with the unmistakable signs of Europe’s recovery. Its stock markets are buoyant. In 1997 the German market is up about 50 percent, the Italian 35 percent and the British 20 percent. Surveys of business confidence show big gains. Growth prospects have improved. Economist Thomas Mayer of Goldman Sachs in Frankfurt predicts that Europe’s gross domestic product will increase 2.3 percent in 1997 and 2.6 percent in 1998, up from 1....

Lufthansa introduced the service in response to the demand of business travelers like Kiefert. The airline says it has no immediate plans to apply the idea to other routes. But faced with the worst downturn in the history of commercial aviation, the airline industry is clearly becoming more open to novel solutions. And chief among these, say many insiders, is a move toward a partial–and perhaps eventually total–segregation of business and leisure travel....

The report comes from two different reporters, Jez Corden via the Xbox Two Podcast and Jeff Grubb of Games Beat. Both say that a lengthy fantasy RPG with melee action combat is being developed with a focus on the Wu-Tang Clan. Corden explains that the game’s world and story will be developed around “Wu-Tang Clan lore” and that the Wu-Tang Clan itself will be creating the game’s soundtrack. It’s no sequel to Wu-Tang: Shaolin Style, but perhaps that’s for the best....

This story was shared by Choteau in a retrospective interview with Eurogamer. He noted that the first game, A Plague Tale: Innocence, had its humble beginnings stemming from the Microsoft Hololens of all things. Choteau noted that after developing a game known as Fragments for the device, the team wanted to work on something unique that wasn’t tied to promote a different product. The Last of Us was also a big impact, as its focus on character maturity, tone, and morality resonated with the team, laying the foundation for the game....

As time passes, a remake of Red Dead Redemption only makes more and more sense. Based on news from earlier this year, evidence from behind-the-scenes at Rockstar and Take-Two, and more, there’s plenty of reasons a Red Dead Redemption remake or remaster could and should be on the way, retelling the story of John Marston using the graphics and some of the features found in Red Dead 2.
