The Istari were originally Maiar, an order of higher beings that served the Valar directly, acting as envoys or advisors to the races of Middle-earth from Valinor. As the Stranger explains to Nori, the term means “wise ones” or “wizards”. According to Tolkien’s lore, there were five sent to Middle-earth by the Valar in case the darkness of Sauron should rise again. It’s now certain that the Stranger is one of the Five Wizards, but his exact identity has yet to be revealed....

RELATED: Rings of Power Premiere Review 6 Sauron Sauron, who serves as the main antagonist of the classic story, is back. This time around, fans will learn about his past and how he became the most despised and feared villain in all of Middle-Earth. With only a few episodes released, Sauron has just been a name mentioned throughout the show and has yet to appear on the screen. Despite the series not following the source material, many people are curious to see just who this enemy will be and how they will affect Rings of Power....

A win against West Ham will at least, keep alive hopes of a first trophy for the Dutchman as manager of United. But they come up against one of the strongest West Ham sides in recent history who are also one of their rivals for the top four places in the Premier League. Van Gaal has warned United players of the threat that West Ham’s big striker Andy Caroll carries....

In January 2002, after a period of quiet ushered in by Yasser Arafat’s mid-December unilateral ceasefire, Madani found himself tested anew by a crime that became a symbol of the city’s worsening anarchy and the hatreds unleashed by the intifada. The victim was an American-born Israeli who lived in Jerusalem, worked in Bethlehem, and for the first fourteen months of the intifada had managed, despite the violence, to move easily between worlds....

Now, after years of research and verification, “The Cruise of the Vanadis” is being published in France. The fictionalized travel narrative–one of Wharton’s first literary efforts–is based on a cruise she took to Algeria, Italy, Turkey and Greece when she was 26. The manuscript wound up in Hyeres because Wharton had a home there. When she died in 1937, her heirs donated some of her papers to the local library....

Kiciński went on to tell Eurogamer Poland that all of the studio’s upcoming projects would be tied into The Witcher and Cyberpunk 2077. “We have two worlds, and within these worlds we want to create games,” he said. RELATED: The Witcher is Getting a New Comic Series The new Witcher title, which is distinctly not meant to be the series’ fourth entry, will be handled by a small team within CD Projekt Red, with larger sections of the studio dedicated to online and post-release support for Cyberpunk....

It’s a picture of a lighthouse on a rocky outcropping, surrounded by water. At times I would look at it and see a tranquil picture filled with greenery, a lone pine tree, and ocean breezes; other times, I could see the waves coming up the rocks and slamming into that little island. The caption of the picture reads, “Life is a journey, not a destination.” And that is how I see my life with diabetes: always a journey, sometimes with breezes and sometimes with crashing waves that threaten to undo me....

Despite the title’s success, A Plague Tale: Innocence is not a perfect game. Bugs and glitches are present throughout the entire experience, and certain parts of the narrative also don’t make sense, such as Hugo’s abrupt disappearance from Chateau d’Ombrage and Amicia’s hallucinations when attempting to rescue her brother. But the biggest issue players seem to have with A Plague Tale: Innocence is how linear its gameplay is. If Asobo Studio wants A Plague Tale: Requiem to fare better than its predecessor, it needs to allow players more freedom when choosing how to tackle the game’s many obstacles....

The Pokemon universe is no stranger to producing expensive merchandise, whether officially created by the company or in collaboration with a variety of brands. This has been proven true with the company’s high-priced Gigantamax Pokemon plushies, and lifestyle collaborations with skateboard designers such as Bear Walker and apparel brands like Levi’s. RELATED: Pokemon Releases Machamp Workout Video The news about the Pokemon Scale World Wailord figure’s production being stopped came out in a recent post shared on the official Japanese Pokemon website....

“What do you think you’re doing?” shouted a guard. “Just fixing my bike,” I called back. I spoke as calmly as I could. But I felt breathless with fear, in danger of being plunged back into the hellish world of the camps-a world I had not so long ago escaped. For I spent 19 years as a political prisoner in China’s labor reform camps, five and a half of them in this very Tuanhe camp....

That intensity was on display last Wednesday as he sat and stewed at a hearing of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. The panel was considering a resolution condemning President Bush’s proposal to send 21,000 additional troops to Iraq; Hagel, a cosponsor of the resolution, would be the only Republican on the committee to vote for its passage. As he listened to his colleagues make their cases for and against the president’s plan, Hagel told NEWSWEEK he noticed something missing: an acknowledgment that the Senate was talking about committing real troops, the men and women whose “fighting and dying” make a war....

For the 90-minute flight from northern Somalia, as the Ilyushin growls and lurches, Yaacob Haji Abdo relentlessly works to convert me. He speaks in parables, inducements (four wives!) and dark warnings about the wrath of God. He sings poetic verses from the Koran in a haunting voice that strains to reach the higher registers, and one of his bearded companions rubs sweet perfume on my wrist. All of which is harmless enough....

If both the Reds and City finish level on points, goal difference and goals scored, a final match would be required to decide the destination of the trophy. Klopp’s men are one point behind, while their goal difference is four worse off. They have also netted six times fewer than the champions. A remarkable turn of events would be required for the play-off to come to pass and that was reflected in the jovial nature of Klopp’s response when the question was put to him....

The LAFD’s initial attempt to dismiss unvaccinated firefighters was in line with Los Angeles’ vaccination order for city employees. Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge Michael Linfield denied a request from the nonprofit Firefighters4Freedom to block the city’s vaccine mandate on the basis of violating medical freedoms, stating that the risk to public health outweighed any such freedoms. “The unvaccinated firefighters have not shown a due process violation, they have not shown that the City abused its discretion in passing the vaccination mandate, and they have not shown a sufficient violation of their privacy rights,” Linfield wrote in his decision....

Laurent Ciman helped deliver it, sending a rocket of a free kick directly at the normally safe hands of Seattle Sounders goalkeeper Stefan Frei. Ciman hit the shot with so much force that the ball’s movement fooled Frei just enough to beat him, bouncing off the keeper’s chest and into the net for the thrilling victory the expansion team’s fans had hoped for when they walked into their new $350 million stadium for the first time....

The industry-wide shift towards offering high-resolution and lossless audio options poses each of the following questions: What is lossless audio? Is it the same as high-resolution? If not, then what’s the difference and why should we care? Let’s examine these terms and see if there is anything to back the hype. Lossless Audio In the early days of music streaming, transferring music files over the internet was a hassle. The internet was still in its infancy, so the speed was low and the reliability questionable....
