An unnamed storm triggers a once-in-1,000-year rainfall event in North Carolina, flooding homes and prompting emergency rescues.

Floodwaters inundated homes, stranded vehicles, and triggered water rescues in coastal North Carolina on Monday after a tropical storm-like system unleashed historic rainfall within hours.

“It’s probably the worst flooding any of us have seen in Carolina Beach,” Town Manager Bruce Oakley told CNN, referring to the tourist town near Wilmington. “We’ve had to rescue people from cars, as well as some from homes and businesses.”

Oakley added that emergency services responded to dozens of rescue calls.

Carolina Beach was declared under a state of emergency on Monday after a "historic" 18 inches of rain fell in just 12 hours at one location, marking a once-in-1,000-year rainfall event, according to the National Weather Service in Wilmington. Other parts of the region also saw over a foot of rain within the same period, a once-in-200-year event.

Carolina Beach Elementary School was closed, and students were dismissed early after flooding began to seep into classrooms, Town Manager Bruce Oakley confirmed. Law enforcement and fire crews assisted in taking some children home as several routes to the school were rendered impassable, with roads submerged under 3 feet of water.

Michael McLaughlin, owner of The Fat Pelican in Carolina Beach, told CNN affiliate WWAY that the sheer volume of water took him by surprise. “There’s water inside the building. I’m trying to gather the stuff that floated away,” he said, adding that he remained optimistic. Once the storm passed, he planned to hose down the inside of the restaurant and get “ready to go again.”

Lisa and Gary Hollon, longtime homeowners in Kure Beach, just 3 miles south of Carolina Beach, experienced flooding for the first time in nearly 15 years. Lisa told CNN that winds and rain intensified in the early morning hours, causing “sudden flooding of 4 to 6 inches” on the first floor of their home. “We were not prepared and have never flooded before,” she said. “Many cars were unexpectedly flooded in driveways and along roads.”

A video shared with CNN showed water covering the street outside their home, with vehicles moving cautiously, creating ripples as they passed.

Flooding also worsened in nearby Brunswick County, where rainfall rates peaked at 4 to 5 inches per hour on Monday. Sunny Point received more than a month’s worth of rain, with over 9 inches falling in just three hours.

"Our deputies are currently assisting multiple individuals stranded in their vehicles and some in their homes," the Brunswick County Sheriff’s Office shared on Facebook.

The city of Southport announced a shelter-in-place order on Facebook Monday afternoon, later updating residents that a curfew would be in effect from 9 p.m. to 7 a.m.

Surfboarder Rescues Neighbor's Dog

In the Brunswick County community of Supply, North Carolina, Timothy Turner used his surfboard to navigate floodwaters after the road near his home was destroyed. In some areas, the water was deep enough to be over his head.

Following intense rainfall that inundated Supply, located about 10 miles from Holden Beach, Turner volunteered to help a neighbor whose dog was stranded on the other side of the flooded road.

“I crossed it with my surfboard, sank into the mud, went to her house, got her dog, and brought it back across,” said Turner, who runs a surfing school and assists with ocean rescues, as the area lacks lifeguards.

“I’ve rescued 25 people from rip currents in the last eight years, but this was the first time I ever rescued a dog with a surfboard.”

This extreme rainfall and flooding highlight that it doesn’t require a named storm to create dangerous conditions. The atmosphere was primed to unleash torrential rain, a pattern becoming more frequent as the world warms due to fossil fuel pollution.

Floodwaters began to recede in Carolina Beach early Monday afternoon as torrential rain shifted westward, according to Town Manager Bruce Oakley. However, cars that had been abandoned during the height of the flooding remained stranded on empty roads, Town Mayor Lynn Barbee reported.

Storm Weakening and Forecast Improving

Tropical storm warnings for the coastal Carolinas were lifted Monday evening, according to the National Hurricane Center.

The system, named Potential Tropical Cyclone Eight, lacked the organization needed to be classified as a tropical or subtropical storm.

“Continued weakening is expected over the next day or so, with the low forecast to dissipate over the Carolinas by early Wednesday,” forecasters stated.

Unlike most systems, where the strongest winds and heaviest rain occur near the center, Potential Tropical Cyclone Eight's heaviest rain and gusty winds were displaced from its poorly defined center, as shown by satellite imagery. The center made landfall Monday evening near the South Carolina-North Carolina border, while southeastern North Carolina continued to bear the brunt of the storm’s significant impacts.

Much of southeastern North Carolina is under a flood watch until Tuesday morning, according to the National Weather Service.

“Excessive runoff may lead to flooding of rivers, creeks, streams, and other low-lying or flood-prone areas. Creeks and streams could overflow their banks, and flooding may occur in areas with poor drainage and urban locations,” forecasters warned. They noted that less than an inch of additional rainfall is expected Monday night, with only a 20% chance of rain on Tuesday.

Earlier in August, the Carolinas experienced 6 to 12 inches of rainfall from Tropical Storm Debby, resulting in a flash flood emergency near Charleston, South Carolina.

just a snippet (part of a fic)

"Dinner is ready." Alec called put, as he picked up Max from the highchair. Food staining his face.

"I'll get you all cleaned up and ready for bed." Alec said to no one in particular. He started washing Max's hands as Magnus walked into the kitchen, stretching.

"Finished work?" Alec said, Magnus kissed his boyfriend and son. "Yeah. I"ll put him to bed." Max giggled, as his papa picked up, tickling him, and placed him in the cot, with his toy.

"Is he alseep?"

"He is lying there, yawning."

"I'll go, have some food." Alec said, handing him the plate, as he walked into Max's room.

Magnus smiled to himself, as he served himself a plate of spagetti and mince meat, that Alec made himself, calling it a "lightwood speciality."

He sat on the coach, Alec walking out, holding Max.

"You could'nt get him to asleep then?"

"Ive tried, but he still half awake." Max was sitting in his dad's lap, playing with his stegosuarus. He let out a little roar, as Alec rubbed his back.

A knock on the door intrupted the family.

"Who could that be?" Alec said, looking at Magnus.

"Ill get it." Magnus said, grabbing a baseball bat, to which Alec rolled his eyes at.

"Could be a burglar?"

"A burglar who knocks?"

The knock came again, as Magnus slowly opened the door, a tall, pale, black haired man was standing there.

"Hey, you're going to let me in?"

Magnus opened the door fully, as the taller male stepped in, looking around, before turning his attention to Magnus, who hugged him.

"You should have called and said you were coming?" Magnus smiled, hugging him. Alec stood up, placing Max on the couch, who was watching the man with a cuirious look.

"And miss supersing you?" He ruffled Magnus's hair, as the man turned to Alec and gave him a small smile.

"Oh Alec this is my uncle Lucifer, and Luci, this is my boyfriend Alexander." Alec smiled, as Magnus closed the door behind him, and Magnus led his uncle to the couch.

"Tea or coffee?"

"Black coffee please, two sugars."

Max was still watching, the man.

"Oh this is Max, he is our son, Max this is your great uncle Luci?"

Max was still watching him

Max looked at his papa, before turning his attention to his dinosaur.

Alec returned, putting the coffee and lalte of biscutis. down in front of the male, and sitting besides Max.

"So the name Lucifer?" Magnus gave Alec a look, that read, really? Did you really say that?

"My dad named me, my twin brother Michael had the better name choice. But ive never chsnged it." Luci said.

"So what are you doing here?" Magnus said, who sat next to Alec.

Lucifer looked at the couple.

"Its about your dad." Alec noticed how Magnus flinched.

"What about him?"

"Tia left new york, ol heard ds happened, uls tia gnay anything oi capimao?" (He left new york, I heard what happened, did he do anything this time?)

Lucifer said speaking directly to Magnus.

"Tia uls cor stuff, cirp if tia left new york, da i ah chance tia may noan zacam." (He did some stuff, but if he left New York, there is a chance he may come back) Magnus repsonded, ignoring the confused look coming from Alec.

Lucifer nodded, holding the mug of coffee, and taking a sip.

"Ol gnay ge om marb ar though, tia niis zacam i bab? however, ar i ge a reason ol zir kures, tia told ol de atraah oi de g?" (I do not know about that though, him coming back is possible? However, that is not the reason I am here, he told me to give this to you?)

Lucifer took an brown evelope out, out from his coat pocked and handing it over to Magnus.

Magnus took it and opened it, reavling a cheque.

"He is giving us that much." Alec said, looking at the number.

"Well yeah."

"Why?"

"Ol gnay ge om marb ar. Tia i currently residing g oxford. If tia i niis zacam de new york, ol trian inform g. Dont worry magnus" (I do not know about that. He is currently residing in Oxford. If he is coming back to New York, I will inform you. Dont worry Magnus)

Magnus nodded,

"I should go, need to check on my other sibiling. See you in the morning." Lucifer said, sitting up, as Magnus nodded.

Lucifer left.

"Okay. First, what language was that? Second. Why has your dad given you that much money?"

"He was speaking Enochian. And I dont know the answer that. He cant just give us money."

"Enochain?"

"A langauge that a group of people speak that belong to a specific country. Your focusing on the wrong part."

"I know. But he is no longer a threat? Your dad?"

"No."

Alec nodded, picking up Max, who was falling asleep on the couch.

"Ds gnay g gil lrasd ol dad?" (What do you want from me dad?)

Magnus mubbled, placing the cheqe on the table.

Eden’s Gate: The Mother Chapter 13 - Are There God? It’s Me A Winchester

Warnings: Witchcraft?? Some Angst

Word count: 1.9k

Where it all began.

Summary: Mandy and Dawana cast the spell to shield her from Chuck and work against the Project to take them down.

Guest OCs: Dawn Floyd (FC: Anna Diop), Camille Floyd (FC: Tati Gabrielle)

Guest Characters: Raphael [Supernatural; female vessel]

Note: Sorry for the delay on the chapters, I'm working on other writing projects and dealing with work and class.

_______

“I wish to know about your past” Joseph tells Mandy, standing in the middle of his church. Cupping her cheeks, looking down at her.

She takes a deep breath, looking up at him. “I-I’ve. I’ve killed people” she starts off, trying to keep herself from crying. “I’ve killed people. Innocent people. I wish to forget about it. Forget about it all, like it never happened”.

He runs one of his hands through her hair, showing her comfort. While his other hand cups her cheek.

“I’ve done bad things to people, I lost my girls because of it” she mutters, looking away from him. She’s not even acting anymore, this shit is all fucking legit, she’s hurting her own feelings just by telling him all of this.

Reliving the painful memories she had to go through. Whether it was from 13 years ago, 20 years ago, or 7 and a half months ago, she’s feeling and hearing everything single word, and it still hurts her. No matter how strong she tries to be.

Knowing she has to wait all of this out until the New Moon. She must be patient. Remembering that Raphael left something for her under her pillow, she goes to the room, her and Joseph share, and checks underneath her pillow.

She finds her deceased husband’s journal. She smiles at it, unwraps the string that keeps it closed and opens it. Reading through it, Joel’s handwriting was always easy to read, it was neat, clean and he also had a very steady hand. Other than the monsters he hunted, he wrote about his life.

His kids Paige and Katella, Mandy, his younger brother Brent, his childhood and upbringing. Trying to hold back her tears, a part of her wishes she could have her husband back. She knows he watches over her, and their daughters.

1 month later.

The New Moon is here, only 12 hours to go until 3 am. With the help of Dawana and her 14 year old daughter Camille. Mandy has everything for the spell.

She had to keep a low profile from the Voodoo Priestess until the New Moon. Giving her instructions on where to meet her and the correct time to, and angle of the moon. That sort of stuff.

The spell must be done as it should be, no screws up, can’t waste any time with this spell. Every second counts. They have their location ready, and all the supplies they need.

Standing next to Joseph for his Sunday sermon, the church filled with his loyal followers. His Children, what he calls them.

Listening to every word he says, thinking about the utter betrayal she is about to bring to the Project. Turning her back on them, stabbing them in back.

Helping out the Resistance and the Whitetail Militia.

With only 10 hours left, she keeps her low profile by being with Joseph for the rest of the day.

Raphael appeared to her a few times that day to check up on her. Knowing that he’s risking a lot for his human, and a chance that’ll be cast out of Heaven for his disloyalty. Withdrawn from his wings and grace. Being deprived of his angelic powers, and living as a human on Earth.

Being on the same boat as his older brother Lucifer.

“You know I’m taking a huge unforgivable risk for you” he tells Mandy. Standing next to her while Joseph does his sermon in the filled church with his brothers and sister behind him.

“I know” she responds to him in her mind. Looking over at the 3rd Archangel for a split second before turning back to The Father.

“There’s a risk of me being cast out of Heaven for this disloyalty” he tells her, “God is too busy creating multiple universes and worlds to see this betrayal you, Dawana and myself are planning”.

She knows all the risks, all God has to do is check on her situation, and see what she’s plotting. Then the next thing she knows there’s a huge mushroom cloud in the sky, and bombs are going off. Killing and wiping out all life on Earth.

“I know, but a part of me feels like we’ll pull this off” she tells him in her mind, “We’ll get away with this, so called heist”.

He looks at her with slight fear in his eyes, Archangels are Heaven’s most powerful weapon, they’re loyal soldiers to God. They’re his eldest children. Slightly more powerful than the average Angels, like Castiel, Balthazar, Samandriel, Anael and Gadreel.

Raphael was always the introverted one of the Archangels, he kept to himself. He did his duties as one of Chuck’s strongest and powerful warriors. He always tried to be one of the loyal ones, like his older brother Michael. He wanted to be on his Father’s good side, the one thing he feared and that includes all Angels. Arch nor not, the one thing they all feared was being cast out of Heaven. Losing their wings and their grace.

Leaving Heaven for a short time, like visiting Earth, and leaving Heaven completely are two different things.

Within milliseconds he could go from being Heaven’s most powerful weapon to being an average weak human. Just by taking away his powers and wings.

*****

After Joseph’s sermon, him and Mandy have a private conversation away from the others.

“Amanda, I wish to speak with you privately” he tells her. She nods her head, and they go to their shared home.

Inside the kitchen, he tells her about The Voice, in which she knows that it's Chuck talking to him.

“The Voice, God, he’s telling me about the New World. How everything will be. How you and I will be. He told me that the world is on the brink. That the world is on fire. Something is coming. I can feel it, you can feel it, can’t you?”.

She nods, “Yes, I feel it. I feel the overwhelming tension it brings. Almost like an explosion of hot, burning air. That is toxic, but will make the world clean and free of sin”.

He nods his head, agreeing with every word she says, “That is how it ends, with time, we will march to the Gates of Eden to our New World. The world God created for us”.

Seeing how convinced and determined he is about the New World. Seeing how Chuck has convinced him about the Collapse. The End. The Reckoning.

Telling him to save as many souls as he can for the Collapse, building bunkers to keep his people safe from the cleansing explosions. Being a modern day Noah, or Hell if you want to hear something that is older than Noah and the Ark.

The Epic of Gilgamesh in Mesopotamian mythology, and history. Which is also 800-2,000 years older than the story of Noah and the Ark, where the story is basically the exact same thing, just different time periods, while one is based on facts with evidence, and the other is a fictional story from a book of stories.

*****

With only 5 in half hours until 3am. Mandy gets another visit from Raphael in her home with Joseph.

“Less than 6 hours Mandeline” he reminds her. She sighs, “I know. I’m just waiting it out”.

“You know where to go?” he asks. She nods, “Yes, I know where to go. The land that is in the southern part of the Henbane River. It’s isolated from everything”.

“Prosperity” he tells her, “It’s quiet and no one ever goes there”.

She nods, “Does Dawana know where it is?”.

“Yes, she knows where to go” he tells her, “She knows what time to get there. Just before the New Moon passes”.

Mandy waits it out until 3am. It’s gonna be a long wait, most of the Cult, including Joseph didn’t sleep that night, he was busy working and writing sermons in the church.

At around 1am, she told Joseph she was gonna go to sleep. An hour and 30 minutes later, Raphael visits her again. Teleporting the both of them to the south end part of the Henbane River.

Prosperity, a ghost town that was abandoned by its owner so that he could take over his dead rival’s town Falls End in Holland Valley all out of spite.

20 minutes until 3am, Dawana arrives with her daughter Camille who is a Voodoo Priestess in training.

“We still have time to set up” Dawana tells Mandy, “This is my daughter Camille”.

Mandy smiles at her, she’s probably the same age as her eldest daughter Paige.

They set up their altar, making a circle of candles and lighting all of them.

“Okay so we all take each other's hands and we say the verse together, in sync or else the spell won’t work” Dawana informs Mandy and her daughter.

They all join hands, and wait for the New Moon to appear. Raphael stands away from them, watching them from 10 feet away. Hoping this will turn out the way Mandy said it would. As soon as the New Moon appears, as a white ring like shape in the sky, they all, at the same time, cite the verse in Enochian. Looking up at the New Moon.

“Uranun Caripe Baglen Olgemeganza de-Noan Chiis Gosaa Zamicmage Oleol Ag-Sapah arphe, Oresa ethamz taa”.

The wind starts to pick up, the candles stay in tack, not blowing out or in the direction of the wind. Still looking up at the moon.

“Tabegisoroch, Zodinu, Ar zurah paremu. Zodimibe papnorge maninua zonac. Dodsih hoxmarch trian amonons pare Das Niis kures”.

They finished the ritual, the night standing in complete silence for a brief moment. Standing inside the circle of candles, they ring of the New Moon shining down on them, making a perfect circle of moon light around their circle of lit candles.

“Is that it?” Mandy whispers, breaking the silence. Right after she asks that, a loud rumble is heard off in the distance, sounding like thunder, or the Horn of Gabriel. A lightning strike lights up the sky for a brief moment.

“It worked” Camille whispers. Out of seemingly nowhere, a strong wind flies by, blowing out all the candles, leaving them in complete darkness.

“Raphael did it work?” Mandy asks the Archangel.

“Yes, you are invisible to God now” he replies, answering her question.

He takes her back to Joseph's compound, before anyone could notice she was gone.

Before he leaves, he tells her, “I’ll be sure to keep an eye on you from Heaven. Now that you’re invisible from God, you can work against the Project. Also Chuck won’t be able to see you. He’ll see another you”.

She nods, “Yeah I believe you told me that already. He’ll see me doing my duties as The Mother”.

The silence between the two, the sound of peggies talking outside on the compound property.

“Get some rest, and do your bidding against the Project” he tells her, “I’ll check back on you within the next couple of days”.

The sound of his wings fluttering, making a small breeze within the house, and he disappears. Leaving Mandy in the small kitchen of her home.

So how about that CCL?

For those of you unaware, the CCL is a semi-pro league for Heroes of the Storm being run by Heroes Hearth. A lot of old familiar faces came back for this, either to play, or to operate the organizations (henceforth: orgs) in charge of the teams. They had their draft just this past weekend, and for those of you who care to follow the pro side of this game, I want to talk about those drafts, and hopefully shine a light on what to expect when the season gets underway.

For those of you here for memes and memes alone, I have considerately put the rest of this behind a read more for you to scroll on past. Thank you for your patience.

Names at the top are the team names (the orgs), names in blue cells are tank players, green are supports, red are dps, and orange are offlaners. Though there are some discrepancies - many players have wide hero pools and can fill multiple roles. As you can see, every team has a pretty solid mix of former pros, top-shelf streamers, Storm League GM regulars, and more than a few unknown names. There was one irregularity during the draft: 30k traded their 10th pick spot to Chilly Mountain to get the 16 and 17 double pick in the 2nd/3rd round. No other trades were made.

Largely, if you know these players, you can see that every team except Oxygen very highly prioritized shotcallers, which did lead to a bit of a tank choke early in the draft. Turk - the leader for Crowd Control - confirmed that he picked up Nightvision - a tank player who also plays supports - to intentionally force a tank choke down the line. Supports didn’t get choked, but many teams picked up a second support player, especially in the 6th pick sub position, owing to the power of double support strategies. The high priority on shotcallers, though, led to an unseen problem: many teams have two - or even more - strong leadership personalities on their team, which could lead to some butting heads and clashing strategies.

That said, let me talk about the teams.

Chilly Mountain

As mentioned, CM had a good position to start strong with the draft. They had the first pick, and then they had second pick in the second round. True to that expectation, the first half of their draft is extremely strong. Fury is considered one of the best tanks in the region, and one of the most flexible shotcallers in the whole talent pool. Similarly, Makke is a strong leadership figure and a good DPS. Darkmok is another very strong player in the offlane role, and while DarkChimera isn’t the best support - or even the best support available at that point in the draft - he has great personal synergy with Fury. The back half of the draft, though, is a bit of a joke. CPogX (more commonly known as CPX) is a talented player mechanically, but has a terrible attitude. He’s also known in the community as a transphobe and misogynist. If the CCL has any respectability, he’s going to need to be kept on a tight leash, or else he’s going to get the boot really quick. And then their last pick was Mysticleez, another offlane player, who is going to struggle to step into CPX’s role if he runs his mouth on social media and gets punted.

Side Step Kings

This team - selected by veteran player Fan - has the most potential. Fan was the only one brave enough to pick Korean players, highly prioritizing KyoCha, and then picking up Hide at the end of the draft. He also went for a few of his old friends, starting the draft with Cattle, and later picking up Jun, his former teammates from Tempo Storm. Jun has the added bonus of being bilingual in English and Korean, allowing him to bridge the gap between the Korean players and the English-speaking players. Also, he’s Fan’s roommate, but that’s beside the point. Three teams on this draft banked on ping not being a big issue, and SSK banked on it the hardest. If ping actually doesn’t matter, this team is easily at the top. The only remaining struggle is the language barrier. I’m hoping that Fan brings that big streamer money into it to hire a real translator. Jun is fluent enough in both languages to serve for right now, but he’s one of the best healers in NA. He shouldn’t be on the roster just to fill an admin role. I have high hopes for this team, but there’s a lot of room for mismanagement.

WildHeart

Now this is my pick for the dark horse underdog I want to see run away with the league. Justing (piTkiD) and Buds are old friends from Oct/R20/TT, my favorite NA team from the old HGC. Justing was NA’s mad scientist, pioneering weird compositions and developing his own unusual meta that demands respect, and Buds works extremely well with him. The rest of the team is very well-positioned to accommodate him. Unaverted is a strong DPS pick, with Zergling and Funz having very diverse hero pools to work around Justing’s unique brand of bullshit, and Wearyday to sub in when double support is the call. This is also the only team with 6 NA players. If ping does matter, WildHeart is poised to take over the whole tournament, and even if it doesn’t, Justing has been given the tools he needs to redefine the meta for the whole league. Win or lose, these will be games worth watching.

Crowd Control

On the other end of the spectrum, the next two teams banked on ping not mattering; Turk - the leader for CC - picked up five EU players, asserting confidently “EU are just better than we are” when announcing his first pick of Lauber. From there, Turk was one of the players leaning hard on his first pick’s advice, following up with more strong EU players. Reportedly, Lauber got to build his own personal dream team, especially with Dynouh and Kwazaa. Turk confirmed that the Nightvision pick was for his offrole as a support (It’s been said that he’s ten times better in his offrole than his main role) while at the same time draining the Tank pool since GG, SIM, and OXG hadn’t picked up their own tanks yet. Their sixth pick, Hebi, is the only NA player on the roster, and an obvious pickup in anticipation of a double support meta. If ping doesn’t matter - and if SSK are slowed down by language barriers - CC is lined up and ready to flatten everyone.

Granit Gaming

GG had a similar strategy to CC. They have five EU players, with a single NA on the team in Nintorii. The difference is that they’re more likely to field their NA player. Svampgroot can fill in the offlane, but he is much more likely to play his signature heroes in the 4-man than his goofball offlane picks. As with CC, GG picked a dream team of EU players, headed up by Nic, and followed by Burger and Henning, a serious powerhouse for teamfight, with Nintorii as the macro god who ran with Scythe Esports through the open division and into HGC just before its untimely demise in 2018. All things considered, I think CC has the stronger players individually, but GG can make up the difference on raw synergy. Between the two, there are ten of the best players EU has to offer, even if the games are going to be played on NA servers.

Simplicity

Back to a strong NA roster, SIM followed GG and CCs lead, but with an NA player. Kure got to build his own dream team with his old Team Freedom teammates in Killuzion and Lutano. Wit is the odd man out on this roster, as an EU player in the tank role, but at that point in the draft, all the best NA tanks had already been picked out of the pool. They also picked up the man, the myth, the legend, this Hosty guy I’ve heard so much about. There might be some smaller interpersonal struggles - three of these people are all from the same HGC team, leaving the rest of the team as odd men out, if conversations get too clique-y. But if everyone meshes together, this team is the quintessential standard NA roster. They aren’t going to break the meta, but they’re going to play standard, and play it as well as any NA team could. If ping matters - and if Justing’s weird homebrew meta doesn’t take off - SIM is going to dominate.

30k

The man who stole the draft: Michael Udall. Trading his 10th pick away for the double pick between rounds 2 and 3, he got literally the exact team he wanted, man for man. HasuObs was his first pick for a leader to build his team around, and then BBJ and Liam are bar none the best players in their respective roles, picked up while everyone else was still squabbling over shotcallers. Udall later admitted that he wanted to first pick Mascarade - his fourth pick - if it looked like the tank pool was getting pinched too hard. His last two picks were reportedly under a time crunch - Sammy is an EU player who was a rush pick to fill the DPS role alongside Hasu, and then Udall overrode everyone else to pick up Breakwood as a player he wanted to mentor into a force to be reckoned with in the next season. 30K has one of the strongest mixed-region rosters in the league right now, but that may be to their detriment. Big names come with big egos, and if the team hits adversity, there’s a chance that communication starts to break down as people butt heads. We’ll see if Udall - the biggest ego of them all - can keep everyone in line. It would also be a serious crime if Breakwood got picked up to warm the bench all season.

Oxygen

The last team has a dramatically different draft strategy compared to the others. Every other team picked up strong leadership and worked with them to build a cohesive strategy, or had a strategy already that they drafted for. Meanwhile, Oxygen hit the draft as if they had a list of players sorted by skill level and they just picked whoever was still up from the top down. Despite this unusual strategy, they have a scary-looking roster. Prismaticism and Nazmas are two very strong players to start with, even if neither is a real leader. Their subsequent picks are similarly very strong players. Reportedly, they wanted Ultralisk as their 4th pick, not Madara, but were mistakenly told that he wasn’t available, because he was listed in the pool under his current battletag “GuessWhoIAm” which is honestly peak comedy. Just the same, their pick of Madara echoed through the rest of the draft; everyone else claimed that they had their eye on him for the later stages to fill. Their sixth pick of Cascon put the truth to all the memes about him being unskippable, too. But the problem remains: someone needs to step up to lead this team. If nobody does, they’re just going to be a SL fiesta and get rolled over by more organized competitors.

Every team obviously has their faults and flaws. Many of them come down to how big a problem ping is. Considering that the EU and even KR players performed admirably in the inhouse games and the exhibition matches, it may be that it’s less of a factor than traditionally thought. However, there were indeed some strategies built around punishing their slower connections. It was said that Cassia’s Valkyrie was the key anti-EU heroic: their ping made it impossible to dodge. We’ll have to see where it lands when the games really start. Some of the teams have bigger concerns that will take longer to figure out. There is no clear winners and losers here.

Except Chilly Mountain. How do you throw away a perfectly good draft for CPX, the XQC of HotS?

#Heroes of the Storm #HeroesHearth #ccl #I want to talk about the people who didn't get picked #but I've been typing and doing research for this post for two hours #and I know you're all here for fanart and patch note snark anyway

For more details and updates, see: http://www.it9yre.it/3g1dx PLEASE NOTE: It is very hard and dangerous to land on the Rock so please absolutely do not dupe the QSO ! ! ! Restructuring of AS-117/AS-206. On the IOTA Web page (iota-world.org), Roger, G3KMA, on July 30th, posted the following: Islands previously listed as qualifying for AS-117 that now fall within the co-ordinates box of the new group AS-206, Honshu’s Coastal Islands East, have now been transferred and are listed appropriately both in the application database scroll-down list and in the IOTA Directory online. Following several activations from AS-206 in the last few weeks with most already accepted for credit, the group number is now confirmed. Record-holders with credits for AS-117 that commence with prefixes JA0, 1, 2 and 7, will have their credits reviewed for transfer to AS-206. All chasers who logged into the IOTA system at least once during the last two years will be automatically informed by a credit re-allocation. This will alert them to the need to find a replacement card or QSO match for AS-117 with a prefix JA3, 4 or 9 to regain credit. Other record-holders for whom Management no longer retains an email address will have any necessary transfer made automatically. The intention is to transfer all credits to the correct IOTA group within a few weeks. As this is quite a big job, patience is requested. PLEASE NOTE: Since the Webmasters of the new (www.iota-world.org) have decided NOT to post or dedicate a Web page to announce upcoming IOTA operations, PLEASE send your IOTA operations information to the OPDX, and we will post it here in an upcoming bulletin...... KH4, MIDWAY ISLAND. Ron, KH6DV, from Kaneohe Bay, Hawaii, announced on July 31st, that a KH6VV/KH4 DXpedition will take place during the second half of February 2020. He states on QRZ.com, "Midway Atoll is #14 on the ClubLog most wanted list and has not been active for some time. The air- craft used for the logistics flights has been downsized and visitors are no longer allowed to fly to the island. Operators interested in joining the expedition should be prepared to undertake a 6.75 day ocean voyage. The vessel DXpedition veteran the 'A/S Machias' can be seen on my KH6DV QRZ.com page. The vessel will provide all power (2 x 27KW generators) and air conditioned sleeping, operating and galley areas. For operators who would like to join the expedition, please send me an email. Anyone with FT-8 F&H experience from the expedition side please state so. What we need: About 11 operators. Someone with experience in contacting DX clubs to solicit donations. Donations are being accepted at the expedition PayPal account ([email protected]). Make sure you note your callsign so we can add you to the express LoTW list." QSL KH6VV/KH4 ONLY via ClubLog's OQRS. ADDED UPDATES (FROM DX-WORLD.NET) by Ron, KH6DV: * August 2nd -- "Upon further review by the DXCC desk we will be moving the equipment and operators to land. As I said whatever it takes to count. We won't be going to these efforts to not count. All will be documented." * August 3rd -- "We have a list of 10 well experienced expedition operators on the high interest list which is 1-2 fewer then we need. These were received in the first day and a half after the announcement. My hope is that now that we are into the weekend people will have time to consider making the trip. I believe one of the problems is that so many have been there on the last expedition 10 years ago and are looking for new places to go rather then a return to somewhere they have been. We will let this run till about August 15th at which time we need to make the decision to proceed or delay till later in the year." OPDX MAILING LIST (Just A Reminder). The "new" OPDX Mailing List is back up and running! Details on how to subscribe/unsubscribe are at the bottom of this bulletin. PLEASE pass the word around.... Thanks and 73 de Tedd KB8NW PA75, THE NETHERLANDS. Look for special event station PA75OMG to be active between September 12-22st. Activity is to commemorate and celebrate the anniversary of freedom. As part of Operation Market Garden(OMG) in World War II, paratroopers of the allied forces, such as American, British, Canadian, Polish and Dutch troops, landed in the Nijmegen region on Sep- tember the 17th, 1944, and the region would soon be liberated after four years of German occupation. During the 10 days of activity, they will try to work as many amateur radio operators across the world as possible. QSL via the infon on QRZ.com. For more details and pictures, see:

SV/A, MT. ATHOS (Monk Iakovos, SV2RSG, Mount Athos News). The following is a letter written by Monk Iakovos, SV2RSG, and was provided by Theodore Giamtsidis, SV1GRM: Dear Radio Amateur friends, I am Monk Iakovos from the Holy Monastery of Koutloumousiou of Mount Athos, bearing the distinct amateur radio call sign SV2RSG. I hereby take the liberty to contact you and write in the circumstances of what has been circulated as sporadic rumors regarding Mount Athos, Monk Apollo and me in conjunction to the issue of ham radio activities (radio amateur). My sole purpose and intention is to provide clarification, based on actual facts and figures, in restoration of the truth. Regarding my eligi- bility as a radio amateur and solid proof of it, there are the relevant official records in the competent state service offices in Thessaloniki but also in the pertinent Ministry in Athens, for anyone interested in accessing, verifying, learning more, as well as relevant accompanying photographic material that has come under exposure to public eye at various given time periods. Concerning the subject of a radio amateur license held by the passed Monk Apollo (SV2ASP), whether licensed by the Holy Community (Greek Hiera Koenotes) of Mount Athos for Amateur Radio Broadcasting, I would like to clarify the following: The Holy Community has never shown any sign of interest in this issue, until as recently as only 4 years ago. The only permission granted to the late blessed Monk Apollo was for radio warning communications (regarding natural as well as other serious environmental hazards and disasters), in order to provide wider relative information on local and near periphery level and thus triggering response and support on combating, restricting and mitigating these disasters. On the other hand, it was exactly the outbreak of a ravaging wildfire on Mount Athos with terrible catastrophic effects that provided the motive for a more positive disposition towards mentioned ham radio activity. However, there has never actually been a permit for ham radio amateur contests or daily ham radio activities, nor has it been any concern in the interests of the Holy Community to deal with this issue, since the Holy Community had at the time and still has much more serious and important issues of actual substance to resolve and deal with than those pertinent to a solitary Monk in his individual activity. I say “individual activity” because the Monastery to which Monk Apollo belonged had not requested for such actions, and had not put forth an official Monastic request as such. This was also further demonstrated by the total ignorance of the Holy Community about the actions of Monk Apollo but also with their absence of knowledge regarding the definition, prin- ciples, purpose, and key-functions of Amateur Radio. This fact alone is a response to those who invoke issues of licenses and concessions. This is also the reason why Monk Apollo did broadcast with Thessaloniki as signal mark location and “/A” mark location on Mount Athos, precisely because the base and station of transmission had to be lawfully seated in Thessaloniki and not on Mount Athos. Having thus no serious and formal information provided on the subject from those who were directly involved and concerned, the Holy Community considered the use and action of Ham Radio as a notion opposing tradition and unrelated to Monasticism and its own tradition. This at the exact very same time when Mount Athos is overwhelmed and flooded with constant use of Internet, YouTube, email, social media, mobile phone applications and every other wireless and recent technological invention services. Although people nowadays do say “mobile” and they mean “cellular phone” the intended proper term to actually use is “radio” (frequency telecommuni- cations). I tried with all my kind disposition and due respect to explain, clarify and inform the Holy Epistasia – the Holy Supervisory Committee of the Community (Greek Hiera Epistasia) – on the issue of “Ham/Amateur Radio”, at the time when the Holy Monastery of Koutloumousiou sent me as a member of their delegation regarding the Monastic request of a ham radio station installation. The Koutloumousiou delegation consisted of Monk Iakovos (SV2RSG), as the representative of the Holy Monastery, the Monk driver and one more Monk, all present during our presentation and attending the whole hearing process of the Monastic request. Representatives of the Holy Epistasia of the Holy Community of Mount Athos were the Holy Protepistate and other two Monastery Epistates (Supervisors). Immediately, it became obviously clear that the Holy Protepistate and the Monastery Epistates had, plausibly, no previous or current knowledge of what Ham Radio is in general, its advantages and how it works. In spite of my personal attempt to explain in detail, fill in any gaps or answer eventual queries, unfortunately no one was finally convinced of the use and usefulness of traditional amateur radio, not because they were not convinced based on reasoning and argumentation, but because there was lack of disposition towards dealing with the subject. On the contrary, in reply to our presentation, I was met with many negative comments and criticism about Monk Apollo and his ham radio activities that I would not ever disclose for the sake of respect and esteem for the late brother Monk Apollo. On many occasions I have even received rebukes, insults and slander from friends of Monk Apollo and other Ham Radio amateurs, mostly anonymous.. Mentioned above was certainly not with any intention to put blame or accusation on anyone at all, I just need to attribute the truth to the events and actual facts that happened between people we are struggling together with in our weaknesses, passions and selfishness, during our common spiritual struggle and objectives. However, nowadays that we are going through a time period of total radio silence and relevant activity in Mount Athos, this due to plausible ignorance and partial lack of interest in such ham radio activities on the part of the Holy Community (because of so many other more important and pressing issues demanding our attention) we do have the opportunity to make an appeal. With the status of a Holy Mount Athos Monk and as a Radio Amateur at the same time, I invite and urge you and all those who love Mount Athos and the tradition of Amateur Radio to join our hearts and voices in sending letters or emails of support in spirit of respect to the Holy Community, and pray and request for: Its reconsideration on the issue and – granting their kind permission to install radio communications station(s), not to any individual Monks, but to any of the Holy Monasteries that do wish to install and operate such an installation (after decision of the Monasteries’ ‘Committee’ and the ‘Council of Elders’) by designating / appointing a Monk Radio Operator responsible for its proper function, under the stand- ards and guidelines of well-established international and domestic tele- communication rules and regulations. Glory be to God and our Lord Saviour Jesus Christ for all things! In spirit of Jesus Christ’s love for all. Monk Iakovos Koutloumousianos, SV2RSG T30, WESTERN KIRIBATI. Operators Yuris/YL2GM, Jack/YL2KA, Kaspars/YL1ZF and Kristers/YL3JA will be active as T30L from Western Kiribati (OC-017) before their Nauru operation (see C2 above) between September 6-15th.

SOUTH CAROLINA

2020 Nov 30 (Mon) – We left Simpsonville at 9:15 a.m. and drove 169 miles to the Elks Lodge in Orangeburg. The lodge was closed. There were 30 amp hookups around the side of the lodge in the back. You had to drive onto the grass. It rained very hard last night and the ground was very soggy and wet. We were afraid to try to drive onto the grass in fear of sinking into the mud. There was a little piggy running around the property and it had dug up several areas in the yard. It was hungry and came running up to us looking for food. Not knowing anything about pigs, we tried to ignore it while we decided what to do.

Finally, we got back in the truck and found another campground. It was 30 miles north over by I-95. The Colleton State Park campground was small but nice. They had a lot of trees in the campground that make it hard for large rigs to navigate. We were lucky to get a pull through site. There were only two other campers in the park. We drove out to get fuel. The town was essentially nonexistent – everything closed up – and we had to drive down another exit to find a gas station. We also stopped at Skynyrd’s Grill & Bar for lunch.

2020 Nov 29 (Sun) – We drove over to Trap & Sam’s this morning. They went shopping and enjoyed some alone time while we watched the kids. We watched some of their favorite shows, played a board game, and walked down the block while the big guys rode their bikes. The baby is walking very well now and learning to talk. Each of them is so unique in their personality. It would be interesting to see what they will be like as adults. It was a delightful afternoon and hard to say goodbye. Tomorrow, we move on.

2020 Nov 28 (Sat) – We went shopping this morning. We had to pick up cat food and a few Christmas gifts. Then we drove over to Greg & Sharon’s to see their new house in Cowpens. They had it custom built. It is a lovely home with 3 bedrooms and a large great room that incorporates the kitchen, dining area, and living room. Their back deck faces out over a lake and their one-acre property. Trap and family also came over. The kids spent most of the time riding around the yard in Greg’s golf cart. They had a blast!

2020 Nov 27 (Fri) – We drove to Greenville today and met Trap, Sam, and the kids at Falls Park on the Reedy. It’s a beautiful park with a flowing waterfall right in the middle of the city. We walked across a pedestrian bridge and around the area that had lots of grass and walkways. The park was very crowded and most people were not wearing masks. There was a fascinating tree on a hillside. The dirt on one side of the tree’s roots had been washed away and the root system was fully exposed.

After Falls Park, we drove to Paris Mountain State Park. Unfortunately, the place was full and they were turning people away. So we drove to Cedar Falls State Park. This was a large park with paths that wound through the woods and alongside the Reedy River. There were some rapids and small waterfalls. We strolled along the paths trying to avoid the other people out there. It was a very pleasant day with the kids.

2020 Nov 26 (Thu – Thanksgiving) – We went over Trap & Sam’s for dinner. Sam’s parents, Greg & Sharon, joined us as well. As with every Thanksgiving, the food was plentiful and the family lively. It was a good day.

2020 Nov 25 (Wed) – We packed up and left Moncks Corner at 9:35 a.m. It was an easy drive over mostly local roads to arrive at 1:30 p.m. in Simpsonville. We are staying at Scuffletown RV Park. It is a kind of helter skelter place with RVs spread around the area. It has an air of dishevelment to it. I think many of the campers here are full-time residents. When we arrived, no one was in the office. I had to call. The gentleman told us to park in our campsite and he would be over later. He showed up about 3:30 p.m. and checked us in. We have full hookups and wifi. I guess this campground kind of takes care of itself and he doesn’t need to sit in the office all day.

We went over to Travis & Sam’s to see their new digs. They live in a huge house in a cul-de-sac. Each room is bigger than the next. The kids love it. There are also lots of kids in the neighborhood to play with. Travis is bringing home more money than he made in New York, and their cost of living in the area is less. Things are looking very good for them.

Sam ordered dinner from Chilli’s and we had a feast together. We will be back tomorrow.

2020 Nov 24 (Tue) – We met Samantha for lunch at Gilligan’s Seafood Restaurant. This restaurant was right on a wide canal. It was a delightful visit and a wonderful chance to say goodbye.

We have a Fantastic Fan that we’ve been having trouble with for the last several months. Finally, the fan would not shut off and Paul cut the power to it. Today, he got on the phone with tech support trying to find what the specific problem is.

2020 Nov 23 (Mon) – We drove over to Samantha’s house today to visit and see her beautiful home. It is a lovely home in a large development. When Michael gets out of the Navy in three years, they plan to sell it (for a profit, hopefully) and move elsewhere. Neither of them cares for the summer heat of South Carolina. We certainly don’t blame them! They have a plethora of pets – a dog, 3 cats, a hamster, and a bullfrog. Their dog, Biscotti, is adorable and loves people.

I had printed out copies of the genealogical books I had put together for our family but forgot to take them with us when we went to Sam’s. So she followed us back here to the campground. She got a chance to see our RV (they’re talking about getting one, too) and to get the books.

2020 Nov 22 (Sun) – We went to Cypress Gardens today. It was very enjoyable. They had a self-guided boat tour around the swamp. That was the first time we’ve ever done a self-guided tour on a boat. The water was so still and smooth; like glass. We followed arrows as we paddled around the lake. Although we saw lots of turtles, we only spotted one small alligator sunning itself on a sign post base. After the boat tour, we walked around the grounds. There was a butterfly house, an area with five different parrots and a peacock, and a swamparium with various fish, snakes, and toads. An outdoor pen held the biggest alligator I have ever seen. It must have been 20’ and weighed a ton! We then hiked around the lake. We came upon a bat hotel and an old gravesite. The original owner, his wife, and their son are buried on the property.

We had lunch at Gilligan’s Seafood Restaurant, then picked up some groceries at WalMart. I called my niece, Samantha, to see if she was up to a visit (she is my brother’s daughter). She and her husband, Michael, met us at El Maguey for dinner. It was a delightful visit. Because Michael is currently in the Navy, he is not allowed to eat indoors in a restaurant. We sat out on the patio and enjoyed a good meal.

I heard many gunshots this morning when I woke up. Apparently, there were several people out hunting this morning. That seems so unsafe!

2020 Nov 21 (Sat) – We ran out of propane last night. We stopped at WalMart to pick up some items, then Tractor Supply for propane. There was no sign for Tractor Supply on the road. The WalMart sign was also way back off the road. We had trouble finding the way into Tractor Supply but finally found it.

We drove around the lake, trying to find the power station. All the roadways were closed off by gates and fences. Paul said there were also locks on the lake at one time. When they were built, they were the highest locks in the world at the time.

2020 Nov 20 (Fri) – We pulled up stakes and left Kure Beach, NC at 9:30 a.m. We drove down the spit to the ferry. Unfortunately, the next ferry was not until 11:30 a.m. so we sat and waited. In addition, it was an extra long drive today – over four hours. We didn’t arrive at Moncks Corner at the Short Stay Navy Recreation Area until 4 p.m. Thankfully, Bonnie’s issue is over and we were able to drive with only one stop. The route was mostly over Route 17 which is just a two lane road that passes through many local towns.

This is a very interesting campground. There is lots of space between campsites. The sites themselves are on grass and worn gravel pads. We have electric and water hookups only; no sewer. The campground sits before the largest manmade lake in South Carolina. The interior roads are dirt; there’s very little concrete and asphalt in the park. There are also cabins for rent and when the coronavirus is not prevalent, boats to rent and lots of recreation area. Some of the cabins are painted that beach front pastel color that makes them very attractive. They are in the process of renovating many of them – either because of their age or from hurricane damage.

It was so cold that I dragged the electric blanket out of the closet. That made the bed so nice and cozy. I hate crawling into bed and waiting for the sheets to warm up from your body temperature.

Netflix'teki En İyi Çizgi Filmler 2019

Netflix’teki En İyi Çizgi Filmler 2019

“En iyi animasyon filmi” ifadesi, farklı insanlar için farklı anlamlara gelir. Bazıları otomatik olarak klasik Disney filmlerini ya da benzer aile dostu uzun metrajlı çizgi filmleri çocukluklarına göre düşünürken, diğerleri otomatik olarak en sevdikleri çizgi roman hikayelerinin uyarlamalarına yöneleceklerdir. Diğerleri, anime’nin egzotik çekiciliğini veya ana akım dışındaki sanatçıların avangard stilini “en iyi” animasyonun sunduğu gibi düşünebilir. Bu farklı özelliklerin ortak özelliği tek şey canlı eylem bileşenlerinden yoksun olmaları; başka bir şey olursa.

Bu geniş yelpazedeki animasyon filmleri göz önünde bulundurarak, size en iyisini sunmak için Netflix’te yayınlanan mevcut özellikleri bir araya getirdik. Burada Disney özellikleri, Oscar adayı animasyonlar, klasikler ve çağdaş filmler gibi hepsi de çarpıcı animasyon stillerini temsil eden herkes için bir şeyler var. İster geçici bir hayran olun, isterse uzun zamandır canlandırılmış bir animasyon tutkunu, burada herkes için bir şeyler var.

Örümcek Adam: Örümcek Ayetine

Yöneticiler: Bob Perischetti, Peter Ramsey, Rodney Rothman

Yazarlar: Phil Lord, Rodney Rothman

Oyuncular: Shameik Moore, Jake Johnson, Hailee Steinfeld, Mahershala Ali, Brian Tyree Henry, Lily Tomlin, Zoe Kravitz, John Mulaney, Kimiko Glenn, Nicolas Cage, Kathryn Hahn, Liev Schreiber

Oscar ödüllü Spider-Man: Spider-Verse’un içine Netflix’te olduğunu söylemek için yeterli olmalı ve şimdi, ilk kez ya da ellinci olarak izlemelisin. Netflix’teki En İyi Çizgi Filmler 2019

Görsel olarak çarpıcı hikaye anlatımı tarzı Miles Morales’in Spider-Man adlı kökeni için mükemmel bir tamamlayıcıdır. Bu film sayesinde izleyicilerin çoğu Miles ile buluşacak ve etkileyici karakterle tanışmanın daha iyi bir yolunu düşünemiyorum. Örümcek-Ayetburada bitmiyor; Burada mitolojiye dahil edilen bir multiverse kavramıyla, her türden kökenden gelen her çeşit Örümcek-Halk olduğu ortaya çıkar. Bu heyecan verici, eğlenceli ve içten bir süper kahraman hikayesinin altında büyük bir alt metin. Spider-Verse hakkında konuşurken hiperbolik veya üstün olmamak zor , ama ne kadar iyi olduğunu da abartmak zor. – Dave Trumbore

İnanılmaz 2

Bizim itibaren Netflix Right Now Best Aile ve Çocuk Filmleri makalesinde.

Yazar / Yönetmen: Brad Bird

Oyuncular: Craig T. Nelson, Holly Hunter, Huck Milner, Sarah Vowell, Catherine Keener, Bob Odenkirk ve Samuel L. Jackson

Orijinal tarafından belirlenen yüksek bara tam olarak ulaşmasa da , Incredibles 2 , baştan sona kadar her şeyden zevk almaya devam ediyor. Yazar-yönetmen Brad Bird , Anlatı’yı, Supers’in iyi adını geri yüklemeye çalışırken Elastigirl’i ( Holly Hunter ) takip eden iki arsaya ayırdı ve ikincisi de Bay Incredible’u ( Craig T. Nelson ) yükseltmeye çalışırken çocuklar. Her ne kadar Elastigirl arsası bir süper kahraman filminden istediğimiz tüm renkli aksiyon heyecanına sahip olsa da, Bay Incredible öfkeli bir Dash ( Huck Milner ), kızgın bir Menekşe ( Sarah Vowell ) yetiştirmek için cesurca çaba sarfettiği için yepyeni bir seviyeye ulaşıyor.) ve süper güçlerle dolu bir Jack-Jack. Pixar netice ile dengesiz olmuştur, ancak Incredibles 2 , animasyon santralı için kolayca bir başarıdır. – Matt Goldberg Netflix’teki En İyi Çizgi Filmler 2019

Köfte Yağmuru

Yöneticiler: Phil Lord, Chris Miller

Yazarlar: Phil Lord, Chris Miller, Rob Greenberg, Judi ve Ron Barrett (kitap)

Oyuncular: Andy Samberg, Anna Faris, Bill Hader, Bruce Campbell, James Caan, Sayın T., Benjamin Bratt, Neil Patrick Harris

Şu anda tiyatrolarda bulunan mükemmel animasyon özelliğinin hayranıysanız, Spider-Man: Spider-Verse’ın içine , o zaman kesinlikle bir Köfte Şansı olan Cloudy filmini kesinlikle çekmelisiniz . Animatörlerin / komedi dehalarının göreceli olarak erken dönemdeki bazı çalışmalarını göstermekle kalmaz, ( Örümcek-Verse’nin arkasındaki beynin güveninin bir parçası olan) Lord & Miller , sadece ve boyunca sadece sağlam, aile dostu ve eğlenceli bir adaptasyondur. Netflix’teki En İyi Çizgi Filmler 2019

Çocuk kitabıyla benim gibi aynı isimde büyüdüyseniz, bu adaptasyon için hem bir nostalji hissi hem de ne kadar çılgınca orijinal bir huşu hissedersiniz. Tekrarlanan saatlerini ödüllendirecek bir dakika gülme senaryolarından biri var çünkü o kadar çok güleceksin ki burada ya da şakayı özleyeceksin. Ve herkesin takdir edeceklerdir gökyüzünde ancak yetişkinlerden yağmur dev gıda kalemlerinin sersemlik keyfini beri bütün aile için büyük bir saatim Bulutlu aşağı değil aptal her şeyi yapıyor. Saçma sapan, karmakarışık ve hızlı tempolu, ve hepsinden öte, Lord & Miller’ın ne kadar uzağa geldiğini görmek için hafızanın altından geriye güzel bir bakış.

Dünyanın Bu Köşesinde

Yönetmen: Sunao Katabuchi

Yazarlar: Sunao Katabuchi, Fumiyo Kono (manga)

Oyuncular: Non, Ava Pickard, Kenna Pickard

Netflix’in Original serisi ve özellikleri çok dikkat çekerken, platformun edindiği materyal de genellikle yıldızlardan oluşuyor. Buna bir örnek, geçen sene Funimation Films izniyle ABD tiyatrolarına gelen ödüllü bir anime filmi olan Dünyanın Bu Köşesinde . Artık her yerdeki izleyiciler Netflix’te kontrol edebilirler.

Hikaye, 1944’te kocasının ailesiyle yaşamak için Hiroşima’daki küçük Kure kasabasına taşınan genç bir kadın olan Suzu Urano’yu izler. II. Japonların şiddetli, savaş dolu bir ülkede ortasında yaşadığı gündelik zorlukların kalbi ve ilham verici hikayesi. Bu güzel ama keskin hikayesi, sıkıntı ve kayıp karşısında bile insanların bir araya gelebileceğini ve hayatlarını yeniden inşa edebileceğini gösteriyor. Netflix’teki En İyi Çizgi Filmler 2019

Disney Lilo ve Stitch

Yöneticiler: Dean DeBlois, Chris Sanders

Yazarlar: Dean DeBlois, Chris Sanders

Oyuncular: Daveigh Chase, Chris Sanders, Tia Carrere, David Ogden Stiers, Kevin McDonald, Ving Rhames, Zoe Caldwell, Jason Scott Lee, Kevin Michael Richardson

Önce Moana Disney canlı aksiyon uyarlamalar için onların klasik animasyon özelliklerine tekrar başladı ve önce 2002 yılında çekilen vardı Lilo ve Stitch . Aileye odaklanan bu dünya dışı ve norm dışı komedide, Hawaii kızı Lilo ve ailesinin hayatlarına (ve kalplerine) çarpacak Stitch adında tehlikeli bir silahlı uzaylı yaratık vardı. Disney’in çoğu kez fantastik eğriltici özelliklerinden yola çıkan raucous bilim kurgu macerası bir kalabalıktı ve stüdyoya yepyeni bir franchise getirdi. Netflix’teki En İyi Çizgi Filmler 2019

2000’lerin başında animasyon stüdyosu için tuhaf bir zamandı. Bilgisayarla oluşturulan animasyon özellikleri, Pixar’a büyük bir şekilde teşekkür ederek daha iyi ve daha iyi hale geliyordu, ancak bu, dışarıdaki daha geleneksel animasyon hikayeleri için daha az ve daha az kaynak bırakıyordu. Lilo ve Stitch bu dönemin en iyilerinden biri olmaya devam ediyor, bu yüzden Disney bu kez canlı aksiyonda her şeyi tekrar yapmayı planlıyor . Ama onlardan önce, orijinali şimdi Netflix’te izleyebilir ve yeniden baştan sona çılgınca bir macera yaşayabilirsin.

Hindistan cevizi

Yöneticiler: Lee Unkrich, Adrian Molina (yardımcı yönetmen)

Yazarlar: Lee Unkrich, Jason Katz, Matthew Aldrich, Adrian Molina

Oyuncular: Anthony Gonzalez, Gael García Bernal, Benjamin Bratt, Alana Ubach, Renee Victor, Edward James Olmos

Bu giriş Adam Chitwood’un Pixar Film Sıralaması’ndan geliyor .

Coco , Pixar’ın yaptığı, tamamen özgün, kesinlikle muhteşem ve evet, izleyicileri merak ve yürek dolu bir dünyaya taşıyan, yepyeni bir ilişki gibi güçlü bir resim… Lee Unkrich’inikinci kişisel çabası tamamen aile ile ilgili. Kendisini ve film yapım ekibini Meksika kültürüne, özellikle de Dia de los Muertos ile ilgili olduğu gibi akıllıca daldırdı ve ortaya çıkan film, farklılıklarınıza rağmen aileyi kucaklamak ve birbirlerini daha derin bir seviyede anlamak için çalışmakla ilgili. Bu filmin kocaman bir kalbi var ve bu konuda Pixar’ın eskisi kadar iyi olduğu şeylere geri dönüyor: şefkat. Yabancılar için, yabancılar için, senden farklı olanlar için şefkat, ama işte kafasını çevirir ve kendi ailen için şefkatle sıfırlanır.

Üstelik, orijinal şarkılar hem akılda kalıcı hem de hareketlidir ve besteci Michael Giacchino , orijinal şarkılardan ayrı duran ancak bir bütün olarak film için hayati önem taşıyan bir zanaat yaratır . Aynı zamanda komik! Temelde bu, ne yazık ki geç saatlerde nadir görülen bir durum olan klasik Pixar. Bundan daha fazlası lütfen.

Mary ve Cadı Çiçekleri

Yönetmen: Hiromasa Yonebayashi

Yazarlar: Mary Stewart (roman), Riko Sakaguchi, Hiromasa Yonebayashi, David ve Lynda Freedman

Oyuncular: Hana Sugisaki, Ryûnosuke Kamiki, Yûki Amami, Ruby Barnhill, Kate Winslet, Jim Broadbent

Studio Ghibli’nin kurucu ortağı Isao Takahata erken yaşta vefat etti ve çoğu zaman biraz daha üretken olan Hayao Miyazaki tarafından gölgede bırakılsa da , Takahata’nın ünlü film stüdyosuna yaptığı katkılar nesiller boyunca sanatçı, film yapımcısı ve yaratıcıları etkiledi. Bu etkilerden biri, ilk canlandırma özelliği Mary ve The Witch’sFlower’ın varisi için ileriye dönük büyük şeyler vaat eden , spin-off yapım şirketi Studio Ponoc’ta görülebilir.

Uyarlanmış Mary Stewart ‘ın romanından‘Küçük Süpürge’, Mary ve Cadı Çiçek bir şekilde sadece bir anime tarzı film teneke o hikayenin büyülü elemanları ve kendini keşfetme teması tüm yakalar. Studio Ghibli’nin tarzı burada çok belirgindir ve Ponoc’un kendi başına ayakta durmak için kendisini nasıl farklılaştırdığını görmek biraz zaman alacaktır, ancak ikonik yaratık yaratıkları için hikayeyi ve gözü kavramanın bir güç olduğu açıktır. Ararlar Mary ve Cadı Çiçeği Studio Ponoc kendinizi alışmasına ve sonraki Ghibli-vari saplantısı üzerine bir sıçrama alır. – Dave Trumbore

Disney Mulanı

Yöneticiler: Tony Bancroft, Barry Cook

Yazarlar: Robert D. San Souci (bir hikayeye dayanarak), Rita Hsiao, Chris Sanders, Philip LaZebnik, Raymond Şarkıcı, Eugenia Bostwick-Singer

Oyuncular: Ming-Na Wen, Eddie Murphy, BD Wong, Haziran Furası, Miguel Ferrer, Harvey Fierstein, Freda Foh Shen, James Hong, Pat Morita

Bu yazı itibariyle, Disney’in tartışmasız en ilerici ve ileri görüşlü “prenses” filmi Mulan , öykülerine, tarzına ve Oscar adaylığıyla izleyicileri etkileyerek tiyatrolara ulaştı. (Muhtemelen şu an Christina Aguilera ‘nın “Yansımaları” nı şimdi söyleyeceksiniz / mırıldanıyorsunuz .) Ve asla unutulmasa da, Mulan’ın asi hikayesi, Disney’in klasik canlandırmayı canlandırmaya yönelik tutkusu sayesinde canlı aksiyon tedavisi alacak Modern yayınlar ve film yapım teknolojisine sahip masallar. Ama bir tazeleme ihtiyacınız varsa …

Mulan , Çinli bir halk masalının, askere alındığı zaman zor durumdaki babasının yerini almak için kendini bir erkek olarak gizleyen genç bir kızlık hakkında yeniden anlatılmasıdır. Bunu öğrenince ataları onu planından çıkarmak için küçük bir haberci ejderha gönderir, ancak Mulan’ın cesareti ve karizması onun yerine minik Mushu’yu sallar. Hikayenin etkisi bugün, belki de her zamankinden daha fazla, genel olarak toplumda, aynı zamanda ortak temaları paylaşan The Breadwinner gibi filmlerde de hissedilebilir . İzle Mulanı yeni film 2020 yılında gelmeden önce eski arkadaşlarınızla için tekrar tekrar!

Disney’in Herkül

Yöneticiler: Ron Clements, John Musker

Yazarlar: Ron Clements, John Musker, Don McEnery, Bob Shaw, Irene Mecchi

Oyuncular: Tate Donovan, Josh Keaton, Danny DeVito, James Woods, Bobcat Goldthwait, Matt Daha Az, Parçalanmış Parçalanmış, Hal Holbrook

Yakında herhangi bir zamanda canlı aksiyon tedavisi görmesi muhtemel olmayan bir animasyonlu Disney klasiği , insanlığın en eski efsanelerinden birinin zayıf bir yinelemesi olan Hercules’tir . Küçük Denizkızı , Moana ve daha fazlasını bize getiren yazı yönetmen ikiliğinden Hercules’un çok daha ileriye dönük bir film olan Mulan’danbir yıl önce çıktığını düşünmek biraz garip . Hercules , olması gerektiği gibi, kahramanın başlığını, Kevin Sorbo ve Dwayne Johnson’ın beğenisinin de edemediği aile dostu yöntemlerle hayata geçiren klasik bir aksiyon-macera filmi .

Ancak antik çağda işine devam eden ve kahramanca işler yapan bir demi-tanrı / tanrı hakkında bir hikaye eğlenceli olsa da, Herkül , kahramanın ölümsüzlüğünü tamamen kaldırarak bir adım daha ileri gidiyor. Geri alabilmesinin tek yolu mesafeye gitmesi, dinsel olarak eğitilmesi ve sonunda bir kahraman haline gelmesidir. En iyi masallar, peri masalları ve Disney hikayeleri gibi, kahramanın her şeyine mal olsa bile sonuçta günü kurtaran silah gücü değil, kalp ve ahlaki inanç gücüdür. Bunu bir kez daha kontrol edin, çünkü önümüzdeki yıllarda canlı hareketli Disney formunda geri dönüşü pek mümkün değildir.

Disney’in Pocahontas’ı

Yöneticiler: Mike Gabriel, Eric Goldberg

Yazarlar: Carl Binder, Susannah Grant, Philip LaZebnik

Oyuncular: Mel Gibson, Irene Bedard, Christian Bale, Billy Connolly, Linda Avı, John Kassir, David Ogden Stiers, Frank Welker

Pocahontas , Disney’in canlı aksiyon sahnesi için özel yapılmış ikonik resimlerinden biri, ancak garip bir şekilde listede yok. Belki de bu, tarihin bazı sömürgeci temalarının şu anki dönemde zorlu bir satış olması ya da belki de sadece bu yapımlar dalgasında olmamasıydı, ancak Pocahontas,Disney’in ikisinden de faydalanabileceği bir yol olarakMulan’labirlikte . popüler IP’leri ve marjinal ve azınlık oyuncularına ve mürettebat üyelerine aynı fırsatları sunar.

Nihayetinde, Disney’in 1995’i, Pocahontas’ın tarihini ele aldı; Amerikan kökenli Amerikalı kadın ile İngiliz sömürgeci John Smith arasındaki aşk hikayesini keşfetmeye karar verdi. Tarihçiler muhtemelen bu yorumla ilgileniyorlardı, ancak bir Disney filmi olarak, arsa hizmete hazırdı. Elbette en akılda kalıcı olan film, Pocahontas’ın iki Oscar kazandığı fantastik müziği .

Mune: Ay Muhafızı

GKIDS üzerinden görüntü

Yöneticiler: Alexandre Heboyan, Benoît Philippon

Yazarlar: Benoît Philippon, Jérôme Fansten

Oyuncular: Omar Sy, Izïa Higelin, Michaël Grégorio, Joshua J. Ballard, Nicole Provost, Rob Lowe

2014’te, Mune adında bir Fransız filmi olan le gardien de la lune festival pistine geldi. Annecy 2015’te En İyi Özellik ödülünü ve o yılki TIFF Çocuk Uluslararası Film Festivali’nde Gençler Jüri Ödülü’nü kazanmaya devam edecek. Başka bir deyişle, kaçırdığınız için affedilmiş olsanız da dikkatinize layık bir film. ABD’de, galasından yaklaşık üç yıl sonra, Mune: Ay Muhafızı olarak geldi . Ve şimdi Netflix’te mevcut!

Bu çocuk dostu özellik, CG animasyonlu filmler söz konusu olduğunda alışık olabileceğinizden çok farklı bir görünüme sahiptir. İki gök cismi ile küçük dünya halkları arasındaki uyumu korumaktan sorumlu olan hem güneşin hem de ayın koruyucularını içeren gerçek dünya inşa mitolojisine odaklanır. Ayın insanları ve güneşin insanları her şey plana uygun gittiği sürece barış içinde bir arada yaşar, ancak bazı öngörülemeyen olaylar eserlere bir anahtar attığında – güneşin ışığını çalmak için eski bir karanlıkla tamamlanır – gidiyor her şeyi tekrar yoluna koymak için birden fazla kahraman almak. Mune , jus’un favorilerinizden bazıları olabilecek sevimli karakterleri izlemek ve tanıtmak için harika, benzersiz bir hikaye. Bugün kontrol et! – Dave Trumbore

Buah Zuhud

Dari beberapa media online yang beredar saat ini, Tirto adalah favorit saya. Beda dengan media online lain, yang mayoritas hanya menyajikan artikel secara singkat singkat saja, Tirto biasanya membedah sesuatu secara lebih mendalam.

Kemarin saya membaca artikel bagus di Tirto, judulnya: Menjadi bahagia dan sederhana dengan Falsafah Janteloven.

Secara singkat, Falsafah Janteloven adalah sebuah gaya hidup yang biasa dijalankan oleh orang orang di negara Skandinavia.

Seperti apa?

Tirto menyebutkan beberapa pesohor dari Skandinavia seperti Max Martin (pencipta lagu hits internasional), Jari Litmanen, Michael dan Brian Laudrup, Jan Molby, Ole Gunnar Solksjaer, Tore Andre Flo, Henrik Larsson, Thomas Helveg, Fredrik Ljungberg, Jon Dahl Tomasson, dan tentu saja seorang kiper sukses, Peter Schmeichel.

Tapi dari kesuksesan yang mereka raih, seakan mereka seperti menjauhi segala ingar bingar. dengan kata lain, mereka hanya ingin melakukan yang terbaik, tapi ogah untuk terkenal. Ternyata hal itu adalah perangai khas orang Skandinavia yang memegang teguh falsasah janteloven-nya.

Menurut Tirto, Secara sederhana, Janteloven merupakan kode sosial yang fokus pada pencapaian dan kesejahteraan kolektif, sekaligus meminggirkan pencapaian individu.

Perumusan nilai-nilai falsafah Janteloven bermula dari novel A Fugitive Crosses His Tracks (1936) karya Aksel Sandemose, penulis berdarah campuran Norwegia-Denmark. Novel tersebut berkisah tentang tokoh utama bernama Espen Arnakke yang mengembara ke Jante, sebuah kota imajiner di Denmark, demi mencari ketenangan atas kegelisahan akibat pembunuhan yang ia lakukan di masa muda.

Sandemose menggambarkan Jante sebagai sebuah kota yang secara ekstrem menerapkan prinsip egaliterianisme, hingga menggariskan bahwa eksistensi keakuan tidaklah ada. Sandemose sejatinya mengambil ide Jante dari kultur di Nykøbing Mors, kota tempat ia tumbuh di Denmark. Namun, ia berpendapat bahwa ide Jante itu memang sesuatu yang secara historis dapat ditemukan di seluruh desa dan kota-kota di berbagai negara Skandinavia.

Ada 10 poin dalam hukum Janteloven, yaitu:

1. Anda tidak berpikir bahwa Anda adalah orang yang istimewa.

2. Anda tidak berpikir bahwa Anda sama baiknya dengan orang lain.

3. Anda tidak berpikir bahwa Anda lebih pintar dibanding orang lain.

4. Anda tidak membayangkan bahwa diri Anda lebih baik dari orang lain.

5. Anda tidak berpikir bahwa Anda tahu lebih banyak dari orang lain.

6. Anda tidak berpikir bahwa Anda memiliki kedudukan yang lebih penting dari orang lain.

7. Anda tidak berpikir bahwa Anda bisa melakukan segala hal.

8. Anda tidak menertawakan orang lain.

9. Anda tidak berpikir bahwa orang orang peduli dengan Anda.

10. Anda tidak berpikir bahwa Anda bisa mengajari orang lain.

Ada poin-poin seperti, "Jangan berpikir anda istimewa", atau "Jangan berpikir anda lebih penting atau lebih baik ketimbang yang lain", maupun "Jangan berpikir orang-orang peduli pada anda".

Intisari dari hukum itu adalah: jangan pernah berpikir dirimu istimewa atau lebih baik dari orang lain. Apakah hal ini sama dengan konsep Zuhud yang telah diajarkan oleh Rasulullah SAW beratus ratus tahun yang lalu?

Sepertinya iya, Selaras.

Dari Abu Abbas Sahl bin Sa’ad Assa’idi radhiallahuanhu dia berkata : Seseorang mendatangi Rasulullah shollallohu ‘alaihi wa sallam, maka beliau berkata : Wahai Rasulullah, tunjukkan kepadaku sebuah amalan yang jika aku kerjakan, Allah dan manusia akan mencintaiku. Maka beliau bersabda: Zuhudlah terhadap dunia maka engkau akan dicintai Allah dan zuhudlah terhadap apa yang ada pada manusia maka engkau akan dicintai manusia.

(Hadits hasan riwayat Ibnu Majah dan lainnya dengan sanad hasan)

Apa itu zuhud? saya pun diarahkan ke situs Nadhlatul Ulama.

Dalam Islam, zuhud memiliki posisi penting, terutama dalam tradisi tasawuf. Para ulama mendefinisikan zuhud dengan cara berbeda-beda. Hal ini wajar karena zuhud adalah pengalaman jiwa, sehingga menghasilkan banyak persepsi, sesuai dengan pengalamannya masing-masing. Imam Ibnu ‘Ajibah memandang zuhud sebagai, “khuluwwu al-qalb min al-ta’alluq bi ghair al-rabb—terbebasnya hati dari ketergantungan selain kepada Allah.” (Ibnu ‘Ajibah, Mi’raj al-Tasyawwuf ‘ala Haqa’il al-Tashawwuf, Maghrib: Darul Baidha, tt, hlm 30).

Imam Junaid al-Baghdadi memahaminya sebagai, “khuluwwu al-yad min al-milki wa al-qalb min al-tatabbu’—lepasnya tangan dari keinginan memiliki dan hati dari keinginan memperoleh sesuatu.” (Abdul Karim Hawazin al-Qusyairi, Risalah al-Qusyairiyyah, Kairo: Darul Sya’b, tt, hlm 221).

Yang lebih menarik lagi adalah pandangan Imam Yahya bin Mu’adz yang mempersembahkan zuhud tidak dalam bentuk ta’rif (definisi), tapi bagaimana cara seseorang bisa mencapai kezuhudan. Ia mengatakan:

لَا يَبْلُغُ أَحَدٌ حَقِيْقَةَ الزُّهْدِ حَتَّي يَكُوْنَ فِيْه ثَلَاثُ خِصَالٍ: عَمَلٌ بِلَا عَلَاقَةٍ, وَقَوْلٌ بِلَا طَمْعٍ, وَعِزٌّ بِلَا رِبَاسَةٍ

“Seseorang tidak akan sampai pada hakikat zuhud hingga orang tersebut berhasil mendapatkan tiga hal: 1). Beramal tanpa pamrih, 2). Berbicara tanpa rakus, dan 3). Kekuatan tanpa melemahkan.”(Abdul Karim Hawazin al-Qusyairi, hlm 221).

Selaras kan ya dengan Janteloven? Tak salah bila Kyai Haidar Bagir mengatakan,

"Marshall Hodgson pernah bilang: Islam terlalu maju utk umat Islam awal. Bahkan sampai skrg, saya lihat banyak pandangan-jauh Islam yg blm dipahami Muslim sendiri. Jadi ingat Abduh: "Di Eropa kulihat Islam, tapi tdk Muslim. Di Mesir kulihat Muslim, tapi tdk Islam"

Dari perjalanan ini, akhirnya saya berpendapat bahwa baik Jante ataupun zuhud, saripatinya adalah sama yaitu: Peniadaan/Pengosongan diri.

Zuhud adalah jalan tauhid. Menurut Mbah Sujiwo Tejo dalam bukunya Tuhan Maha Asyik, istilah Tauhid berasa dari bahasa Arab yang artinya menyatukan, memadukan dan mengintegrasikan. (Tuhan Maha Asyik hal.74)

Hanya satu jalan menuju kebersatuan dengan Tuhan yakni jalan peniadaan diri. Kitab suci sesungguhnya adalah petunjuk manual menuju jalan peniadaan diri. (Tuhan Maha Asyik hal.75)

Jadi teringat pepatah (Alm.) Abah Asep Sunandar Sunarya melalui Semar Badranaya beliau menyampaikan:

Hariring lain nu kuring

Haleuang lain nu urang

sabab hariring teh nu maha weuning

haleuang nu maha wenang

tong waka suka seuri mun can panggih jeung jati diri

Hirup teh teu boga nanaon

diri sasampiran awak sasampayan

hirup ngan ukur derma

derma ngalakonan

ngan dina ngalakonan ieu urang cing rido yen hirup teh diatur.

Kudu getol ibadah urang teh, Jang.

Ari ibadah teh ngagawe pagawean anu sesuai sekenario-Na.

Urang getol ibadah, Allah mah moal untung.

Urang teu ibadah, Allah moal rugi.

Da bakal nu rugi jeung untung teh urang urang keneh.

Nu mawi Poloskeun, poloskeun..

Mun tea mah urang rek ngala cai, mawa wadah teh anu kosong tur beresih.

Kosongkeun hate, bersihkeun hate.

Urang kudu diajar ka kisah isra miraj na Nabi Muhammad SAW. Hasil tina isra miraj eta rasul meunang oleh oleh nyaeta salat 5 waktu tea.

Rasul bisa isra miraj kusabab hate na polos, teu aya hijab. Teu aya sirik, pidik, jail kaniaya.
