Within a 10-month period starting in July 2018, police stopped and searched 24 percent of black drivers and passengers, 16 percent of Latinos and just 5 percent of whites. The searches counted in the analysis include those of the vehicle as well as pat-down searches of the drivers and/or passengers. As Times authors Ben Poston and Cindy Chang point out, racial disparities do not necessarily show there is racial bias—other factors such as neighborhood crime rates for example, may have played a role....

Out of all the ships available in Lost Ark, the Eibern’s Wound has perhaps the most character, as it has the appearance of a ghost ship. At its base level, the ship is great at resisting Cold Snap Seas and Dead Waters; however, there is still a lot of room for improvement with the addition of the right crew. Here’s a look at the best crew that players can recruit to run this ghost ship....

Oberth had programmed some hugely influential games including the likes of Anteater, Ardy the Aardvark, and Commodore 64. The majority of the programmer’s work was released on the Apple II, but his work also included titles like NBA Live 2001 for the PlayStation. A family friend gave a collection of the backups and floppy disks that were owned by Oberth to The Video Game History Foundation and what was uncovered was an interesting game which is a cut above most unreleased NES games....

That doesn’t mean that the two young hobbits don’t have their own distinct personalities and character traits, though. Pippin is younger than his cousin, Merry, and tends to be more immature and as a result, makes more mistakes. Merry is more the leader of the two and Pippin, the curious follower. RELATED: LOTR: How Eowyn Sacrificed It All For Middle Earth Together, Pippin and Merry, having both spent time in one of the opposing lands of men, served as tools in the story to illuminate the kinds of rulers running each Kingdom....

But as light is the enemy of dark things, there were those in the world who wanted to destroy the light of the Trees, taint it and ruin it so that no others could share in its joy. This, ultimately, is the goal of the evil lords in Middle Earth, from Melkor to Sauron, from the Witch King of Angmar right down to Saruman the once white wizard. They wish to eradicate all that is good and brings hope, and replace it with the hollow void that exists inside themselves....

It is clear that lineage is very important among all of the races of Middle earth, and indeed to Tolkien himself.

A European tour will follow afterward, Deadline reported.

The large sign along I-83 shows Kushner, son-in-law and senior adviser to President Donald Trump, sitting on a large pile of money in a suit while speaking on the phone with the label “rich pest.” To the right of Kushner is a rat holding a small piece of cheese who is a “poor guy just trying to survive.” “Everyone deserves HUMANE rodent control,” the billboard says. Kushner’s real estate company reportedly has a controversial past of owning rental properties in Baltimore with unsanitary conditions....

These findings, from a survey of nearly 41,000 officers in all four service branches, contained no suggestions for bridging the racial gap. But the poll reveals lingering problems–and shows just how far the military has to go.

Last week Pope John Paul II issued an apostolic letter adding a fourth cycle to the rosary. The additional prayers invite meditation on five “mysteries of light” taken from the public ministry of Jesus: his baptism by Saint John; his first miracle (changing water into wine); his proclamation of the coming kingdom of God; his transfiguration, and the institution of the Eucharist at the Last Supper. The pope’s aim is to revive interest in his “favorite” form of prayer, which has declined in popularity since Vatican Council II....

The Akshar Foundation School in Guwahati, a sprawling city in the northeast state of Assam, allows parents to pay their children’s tuition with plastic waste: Every week, students are asked to bring in 25 recyclable plastic items, which are then taken to an on-site recycling center to be made into “eco-bricks,” low-cost, durable construction material. The school, which serves over 100 pupils, is funded through donations, so technically the students don’t have fees....

Or more like an identity theft. Since its founding in 1891, Randolph College—originally Randolph-Macon Woman’s College—has been a draw for young women passionate about the liberal arts, like graduate and Nobel laureate Pearl S. Buck. The school’s reputation as an art-world heavyweight tucked in a quiet corner of Lynchburg, Va., attracts not only art majors but thousands of tourists. The college’s heady days peaked in the late 1960s, however, just before all-male colleges across the country opened their doors to women, luring away potential students....
