FTC Surveillance Pricing Study Uncovers Personal Data Used to Set Individualized Consumer Prices

The Federal Trade Commission’s initial findings from its surveillance pricing market study revealed that details like a person’s precise location or browser history can be frequently used to target individual consumers with different prices for the same goods and services. The staff perspective is based on an examination of documents obtained by FTC staff’s 6(b) orders sent to several companies…

"I'm a casual LotR fan just getting into TROP, and what really got me hooked was the orc vs. elf battle in S1E3 - "Adar." SO much of that scene got me invested: The creativity of the choreography, using chains and sticks as weapons. The teamwork that showed off decades of training together. The emotion of seeing Revion standing there, stock-still like he's struck by the horror of what the orcs have done to the land, only for him to turn and reveal the arrow in his chest. (RIP, Watchwarden, you were a side character I inexplicably got attached to). I loved all of it! Battles that show off the intelligence/passions of the characters are my jam and I think this one delivered. Really looking forward to watching more as the series goes on!"

Arondir wanting to kill Adar has a lot to do with Bronwyn’s death but I also think that he is trying to avenge Medhor and Revion ,the members of his company . We see him that he’s sort of an outsider in his elven community but it’s clear he cared for his friends and that he has not forgotten the pain they endured and their deaths .”He has taken everything else from me” that includes them too .

Middle-earth shots of the week

[thephoenixandthecrocodile]

Just posted Chapter Two of my Blade Runner/ROP AU! I had a lot of fun writing this chapter even though it took me down a lot of rabbit holes I wasn't expecting. Always a good sign when your fic surprises you while writing the first chapter. XD

Summary: Arondir is on duty when the Southland garrison is visited by six strangers dressed in stolen Elven garb. One of the strangers claims to be 'Maglor' and requests permission to cross into the rest of Middle-Earth. Can Arondir's garrison trust these strangers or are they hiding their true purpose?

POV: Aranea and Lorien

Settings: Kingdom Revione (I will include specific locations later!)

Content Warnings: swearing, blood and gore, and more if I think of any.

Plot Summary:

The Winter Solstice is coming and havoc will wreak across Kingdom Revione…

Lady Aranea Rae was picked from all the Ladies in Kingdom Revione to marry the most influential, single figure in Kingdom Revione: Prince Lorien Revione.

Aranea is confused as to why she was picked from the line-up as Lorien seems to barely tolerate her presence, deemed by him a “nuisance.”

Lonely, surrounded by new faces and deadly deceits, Aranea must keep her wits and navigate the Deadly Palace. And as she uncovers the many mysteries surrounding the Palace, including about her fiance, she starts to wonder what her role in Lorien’s plan really is…

Prince Lorien has one goal and one goal only. He will not stop until he reaches it, willing to sacrifice anything—including his new fianceé—to attain what he once had.

Diving into dusty folklore and illegal books, Lorien forms a plan: one guaranteed to help him achieve his goal. All he needs is a sacrifice—willing or unwilling...

Both the Lady and the Prince must watch their backs as everything is out for their blood...

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

[valar-did-me-wrong]

Arondir called him Watchwarden I guess

Here's his Tolkien Wiki ;)

& he's gorgeous 💯💯💯

"I have no recollection of his name, all I know is he was beautiful and he died! It was the elf that spoke to Arondir at the watch tower... I would of loved to have seen more of him in the show."

Workload (Gotham FC x Teen!Reader)

Gotham x Teen!Reader

Summary: 16 year old reader has signed with Gotham FC and is struggling to find balance between school and sport with finals and the NWSL Championship both quickly approaching.

You sigh as you close your laptop for the night, you mean morning. It was just after 2:00 when you finished your history essay, calc assignment, and studying for your chemistry test the next day. Plus on top of that, starting to find all of your materials for your upcoming exams. 

It’s not even that you were pushing it all off to the last minute. It’s just the course work that you get every night is impossible to get done that night on top of the training you have with Gotham FC and your ADHD. 

You would put off doing your school work to get more sleep if you could, but your school has told you multiple times that they would revoke your work permit if you didn’t keep your grades up and get all of your assignments in on time. 

You sigh again and finally head to bed to hopefully get a couple hours before morning lift. Your alarm goes off two and a half hours later and you drag yourself out of bed. It takes you half an hour to get ready and have your things together before Lynn picks you up for training. 

When you get in the car Kristi and Lynn are already pumped up and jamming to Lynn’s playlist. You let them continue on as you tuck yourself in the back seat and try not to fall back asleep. 

“You ok kid?” Lynn asks you turing the music down. “You look a little tired.”

“Ya, just didn’t get very much sleep last night. Had a lot of homework to get done after practice.” 

“You’ve been saying that a lot recently,” Krisite pipes in, “You sure you’re getting enough rest.”

“Ya it’s just that time of year. We're coming up on exams and the NWSL Championship.” 

“You can talk to coach. I'm sure he’d understand if you needed to miss a few practices.” They tried convincing you. 

“No, it's fine. Nothing I haven’t handled before.” You all arrive at the training facility just in time to get into the lifting room. 

“Alright let's get started.” They start with stretching and then pair up to go through their specialized lifting workout for the day. You end up with Jenna Nightswonger due to your similar workout needs. 

“Are you ok Y/N. You’ve been yawning for the last 30 minutes. Which has been the entire time we’ve been here.” 

“I’m fine. Just up a little later than I probably should have been getting my homework done.”

“If you’re sure.”

They finish the lift session another 30 minutes later and you leave the rest of your team to get to school on time. You are able to make your way through the day with a quick nap during lunch and eating while working on your revions during study hall. And as soon as the bell lets you out you are back on your way to the training facility for afternoon practice. 

Your movements are slow and sluggish throughout practice as you try to keep up with the quick movements of your teammates. During all of your breaks you have an assignment out and are slowly making your way through them. 

“Hey Y/N, come here for a second.” Ali calls you over with about 45 minutes left of practice. 

“Ya hold on just one sec.” You call back as you finish up the last math problem on the worksheet. As soon as you are done you jog over to the older player. “Ya what’s up?” 

“We're all just a little worried about you. You seem a little out of it today.”

“I’m fine,” you sigh out a little frustrated. “Will everyone stop asking me that?”

“Hey now, there’s no need for that. We're just trying to help.” You sigh again. 

“I know. It’s all just a lot. I think that it might be getting to me a little.”

“That’s ok. When's the last time you got a full night of sleep?” You look down knowing that you will answer if you look at her. “Alright grab your stuff.”

“W-what?”

“Grab your things, I’m going to take you home. Then you’re going to finish anything due tomorrow then go to sleep. And you aren’t going to be coming to practice tomorrow.”

“But the championships are…”

“Not starting until next week. There is still plenty of time. But if you get hurt then it won't matter.” 

You sigh. Ali leads you over to your things and you start packing them up as Ali goes to talk to coach. She comes back over with the ok from coach. “And he said if you show up to practice at any point tomorrow he will bench you for the first game of the tournament.”

You nod, “I won’t come tomorrow. I’ll get my work done and get a good night’s rest.” 

“Good and next time it gets too much, just let us know. You’re still just a kid. It’s our job to help you so let us.”

“I will.”

“Good.”
