Diplomatically, militarily and morally, Bosnia has been a no-win war. It’s certainly been nothing but a loser for Clinton. Last week’s events forced him into the fray–in a way that showcased his administration’s inconsistency on this issue. On Wednesday, speaking to the Air Force Academy, Clinton said America “should be prepared” to protect U.N. peacekeepers consolidating into more defensible positions, acknowledging that this might mean the “temporary use of our ground forces....
For the whole series, Persona 3 is one of the most important games because of what it started. Persona 3 laid the foundation for what would become staples in the Persona franchise overall. The passing of time with the calendar system, the social simulator aspects and social links, and the critical distance that Persona 3 extended from its parent franchise Shin Megami Tensei. There’s all things that made Persona what it is today, but there’s also a lot of growing pains that make Persona 3 a tough play for newer Persona fans....
Physical pinball machines trace their origins back to “Bagatelle” tables based on old European lawn games, according to Princeton University’s Joseph Henry Project. The earliest electro-mechanical machines were controversial due to their connections with gambling at entertainment centers, but over the decades they became more popular with computerized tech and licensed themes. While lacking a tactile element, digital renditions like Microsoft’s Space Cadet have proven to be just as popular, and Pokemon Pinball is but one example of what brands can bring to the classic game....
The Kurds have no friends." In the mountains of northern Iraq, the old maxim is the stuff of common sense. When the gulf war began, it also held true in the corridors of Washington. Last August, within a few days after Saddam Hussein invaded Kuwait, Jalal Talabani, exiled leader of the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan, phoned Peter Galbraith, a staffer for the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. “Peter,” he said. “Should I come to Washington?...

The story begins with the protagonist, Ethan Winters, getting a strange message from his wife, Mia. The message is unsettling because Mia has been missing and presumed dead for almost 3 years.

This results in changes in mood, behavior, and perception....
Down in 13th place, they suddenly sat just seven points above the drop zone. The pressure was on. And this weekend, against a Sunderland side which had just roared to a stunning 4-0 demolition of Crystal Palace, there could be no more slip-ups. But Saints fans needn’t have worried, not with new signing Manolo Gabbiadini leading the line. The Italian kicked on from his debut Premier League goal the previous week to score an impressive 97/100 on the Goal Pressure Index, presented by Sure and powered by Opta data, which provides the first ever system to measure and rate a team and player’s performance under pressure....
Ben Givens is a retired heart surgeon, who recently learned that he’s dying of colon cancer. He has told no one.

They don’t know it, but they also are getting a glimpse of what the war has really done to Sri Lanka. More than 15,000 children, some as young as 8 years old, now sell sex on the southern beaches. Any one of them likely will have been shipped from the northern war zone–only about 100 miles away–by agents of a child-procuring mafia that preys on shattered homes. A family whose father has been killed in battle or whose mother has emigrated in search of work is an easy mark....
History can be painful to look at, but it exists as a reminder for the characters to do better than what came before them, to make better choices, and to build a better world. And this is something that can only be achieved through love and peace and harmony, like that which is shown by the fellowship. They succeed in their mission to destroy the ring only because they are true to one another, and never falter in the bond that binds them together on their journey....
Interestingly though, Sauron, the supreme dark lord that is trying to overtake the world and fill it with his malice and scorn, is also a maiar. In contrast to each of the aforementioned characters, who are all pure maiar that use their power for good (except Saruman in later years, because he is twisted and corrupted by the promise of power) Sauron is an evil character, and used his substantial powers to dupe and deceive those around him....
The Ring has an interesting journey from Isildur, the man who cut it from Sauron’s finger, down the river Anduin, into the possession of Gollum. It is then picked up by Bilbo Baggins in the goblin tunnels during the quest for Erebor, and taken back to The Shire where it comes to rest in the hands of Frodo. But when the enemy discovers its whereabouts, and the council of Elrond meets in Rivendell to decide the ring’s fate, why don’t they bury it deep underground so that Sauron cannot claim it?...
