![]() Honestly, it’s pretty impressive how much Peter Jackson and company were able to affect the tone/mood of this scene by changing only a couple words of the song. The book’s song says that sorrow and sadness will go away with the king’s return, while the movie’s prophecy says that everything will fail and sadness will return when the king does. The grandson of a greedy king and his dwarvish companions fall under the curse of. This Alan Lee Tolkien Hobbit image size is 290 x 214 mm in a 60mm mount to overall size of 410 x 334 mm. In the book, the second to last line reads “ and sorrow fail and sadness”, while in the movie, the line reads “ and all shall fail in sadness.” A small change with pretty significant consequences. Deep in the mountain (where no-one will find you) by bhangles05. Most importantly, a single line has been altered a bit in the movie version to create this more ominous tone. Within this context, the “shining and burning” seems to refer more to light - like the golden rivers - than anything else. There’s no reference to the dragon, and it’s actually focused on how the return of the king under the mountain will mark a beginning of happy times for Laketown. First off, they aren’t a prophecy at all, but rather part of a longer happy welcoming song that the men of Laketown sing for the dwarves after the Master decides to help them: ![]() Now, in the book these verses are pretty different. (The “shining and burning” of the lake is meant to refer to the dragon’s fire, I think.) The ending is definitely treated as very ominous, and explains Bard’s fears about letting Thorin and the dwarves enter the mountain. And the bells shall ring in gladness, at the Mountain King’s return, But all shall fail in sadness, and the Lake will shine and burn. The Lord of Silver Fountains, the King of Carven Stone, the King Beneath the Mountain, shall come into his own. In the Desolation of Smaug movie, Bard recites a poem (that is referred to as a prophecy, actually) about the return of the King Under the Moutnain. It isn’t until Moria is retaken by Sauron’s armies in The Fellowship of the Ring that these good-natured blacksmiths are forced to return to war.There’s really no specific knowledge of the fountains referred to in the song - it’s just another description of Erebor’s wealth, I think, that they have fountains made of silver. But let’s talk about the song in general for a minute, because it was changed a bit for the movie and that’s always important to point out. Following Thorin’s death, the Dwarfs enter another era of peace. While he never takes possession of his father’s ring, Thorin restores the Dwarf’s heritage by taking back Moria in The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies. When Saruman ( Christopher Lee), Elrond ( Hugo Weaving), and Galadriel ( Cate Blanchett) come to rescue Gandalf from the Necromancer, Thráin II is killed in the skirmish with the dark forces. Gandalf discovers that Thráin II has been tortured for information, but chose to protect Moria’s secrets. The identity of the “Necromancer” isn’t revealed within the original text of The Hobbit, but it's implied in later Tolkien projects that this mysterious figure is a form of Sauron. Gandalf ( Sir Ian McKellen) ultimately discovers Thráin II after he has been taken prisoner by the Necromancer. What he does not know is that his father lost the Ring of Thrór in a battle with the Orc leader Azog, who returned it to Sauron. Although he is assumed to be dead, Thorin does not find his father’s body among the fallen in Moria. ![]() Thráin II is driven mad with grief when Smaug overruns his forces. Bilbo Baggins is the hobbit who originally found the Ring and who passes it to Frodo, his nephew. ![]() Bergil is Beregonds son, who befriends Pippin in Minas Tirith. Beregond is a soldier of Gondor who helps Pippin acclimate to Minas Tirith. Although Thráin II becomes the King under the Mountain, his boastful arrogance gets the better of him. Beautiful Arwen Evenstar is Elronds daughter and Aragorns true love. The Ring of Thrór ultimately makes its way to Thráin II ( Sir Antony Sher), Thorin’s father. ![]()

As a result, it has a 99% landfill diversion rate on corporate real estate projects. “We provide design services and consulting services, but is there an extension of those services around reuse? It could be early on helping develop that real estate strategy for a developer.” “We’re thinking about how discussing it with our clients can be an asset for them,” said Hopper. Gensler helps spread the word about these providers, by informing its clients about them so that they understand their options. Hopper said office furniture reuse has become more scalable now that there are more companies that take donations and provide resale, and recycling options for businesses, like Green Standards, Reseat, Anew, and Rework. “It’s not just if the client asks for it we’ll do it. “There’s a lot of focus around the idea of incorporating reuse into our work stream,” said Marcus Hopper, design manager at Gensler. To jump-start this mindset change, experts have said businesses need to plan for disposing sustainably of any unwanted furniture, as soon as they know they are downsizing, or closing, or moving – rather than leave it last minute. Plus, a business can save between 30% and 50% of their new-office furniture costs, if they choose to purchase recycled items, according to the same study. But simply reusing one office desk would reduce a company’s carbon footprint by 36%. Each time a company moves its office, approximately 269.53 tons of waste is created, along with 1,462 metric tons of carbon, according to research from global design and architectural services firm Gensler. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() It wasn't immediately clear if the planes had been deployed.

The Soviet Union is estimated to have lost 26 million people in the war, including 8 million soldiers, and the immense suffering contributes to Victory Day's status as Russia's most important secular holiday.

"This monstrous tragedy was not able to be prevented primarily because of the connivance of the criminal ideology of racial superiority and due to the lack of unity among the world's leading nations," he said. Russia celebrates the 1945 defeat of Nazi Germany every May 9 to honor those who fought and died for their country. In the walk-up to Victory Day this year, the United Nations says that the Russia-Ukraine war has displaced more than 5 million Ukrainians so far-and projects it will displace more than 8 million before it’s done.MOSCOW - Russian President Vladimir Putin on Tuesday told the annual Victory Day parade on Red Square that the horrors of World War II demonstrate the necessity of countries working together to prevent war. It has turned instead into an instrument for providing support to the most militarized, bellicose kind of Russian leader.” “In its official conception, Russia’s commemoration of Victory Day in 1945 is only formally an occasion for collectively mourning for Russia’s war dead. “The current regime, which calls itself the sole heir of this victory, uses this achievement to make itself immune to criticism on other issues while justifying its current militarization efforts and excessive state interference in all aspects of life,” Kolesnikov wrote. Journalist Andrei Kolesnikov wrote in a 2017 article about the modern-day significance of Victory Day that it’s “central” to Putin’s view of Russian history, and “the Great Patriotic War” has become his nickname for World War II. Pundits in Russia have pointed out that Victory Day has also become about more than just celebrating Russia’s military achievements in the past it’s very much about galvanizing support for Russia in the present and showing off the strength of Russia’s military forces.

Another very good category of improvement actions is the identification and launch of a new project/sprint/user story that ultimately results in an improved product. Ask "How will this improvement action be introduced to other projects?" The best improvement actions will be updates to project or organization assets (e.g., training materials, process descriptions, job aids, job descriptions) because these have a better chance of becoming embedded into the core operation of the entire organization.You can visually represent this evaluation by drawing this grid on a white board and using sticky notes to place each proposed improvement to reflect its score: Evaluate the viability (Can this action really be accomplished?) and impact (If we complete this action, will it really improve our project performance? Will it improve the performance of any other project teams?) of each proposed improvement.Try these two tests, applied to each proposed improvement action: Naturally, you'll want to have SMART definitions for your actions. A crucial step in the retrospective is selecting the improvement actions that the team will pursue, and key desired outcomes are to have a sustained and widespread use of retrospective results. Select improvement actions that will have real impact.Choose an effective way to represent the data for easy consumption and use during the retrospective. Give ample consideration to the data that are most meaningful to the project team in accurately portraying project performance, from the perspectives of the team members, your customer, other stakeholders and management. An early step of the retrospective is coming to a common, shared view of the project performance - project data is one of your most important inputs for this activity. Your checklist should probably include these items: provide adequate advance notice of the meeting, create and publish an agenda with suggested preparation tips, secure a good meeting location and room layout, provide an ample supply of materials needed for the activities (white boards, sticky notes, markers), and promote a team norm that each participant will prompt in their arrival. ![]() Handle these well and you've started the retrospective on a positive note. The basic elements of a meeting can make or break your team gathering. Here are a few reminders that can make your retrospective exceptionally effective: Three Important Reminders for a Perfect Retrospective The goal of a retrospective is to improve team performance on the project. It's not a complaint or blaming session either. Nor is a retrospective merely completing a questionnaire so some project manager can figure out how to run the next project - that would be a typical lessons learned activity. It's not a session to create an explanation for management about a project failure - that would be a typical project post mortem. Team members come together, each with their own perspective and insights, to understand one another's view of the project and identify improvement actions. ![]() The retrospective is a constructive glance at the recent past to enable a better future. "How can we work together to improve now, so our next project is demonstrably better?" Think of the retrospective activities as being centered around this question: This reflection of the team's activity and performance creates an opportunity to have a shared, common view of the just-completed project along with a shared view of some changes that can benefit subsequent projects. The most important practice used by Scrum teams to improve is the retrospective. Teams who are content with their performance miss out entirely on this benefit, while those who want to improve are only a few days away from the next opportunity to improve. ![]() By having short cycles that are frequently executed, the team can develop a fundamental skill and competency that comes from repetition, learning, and adaptation. Scrum teams have an advantage that doesn't exist on long term, traditionally managed projects: the benefit of rapid cycle execution. ![]() Frequent Cycle Execution Opens Opportunities for Improvement ![]() ![]() ![]() The variety of synth sound in trap music is immense and depends entirely on the styling of the producer.Computer technology has opened the floodgates to an almost infinite number of sounds a DJ can make, and producers are taking the opportunity to create their own unique brand of trap music.While trap music began as a Dirty South phenomenon, it has begun to spread across the country – and even the globe. In much the same way that dubstep utilizes sub-bass rhythms to create a half-time rhythmic feel, trap DJs such as Taku often supplement 808 drum lines with bass counter-rhythms.But where hip-hop mixtapes might stop at relatively simple instrumentals, trap music embraces European electro-house and trance’s penchant for well-crafted synthesizers. The 808 was also popular for its ability to produce exceptionally low bass drum frequencies.Although the term “trap” first referred to Dirty South hip-hop, it has come to embrace a broader spectrum of music - one that has derived significant influence from the growing EDM scene.Trap music embraces the heavy, oscillated sub-bass that DJs like Skream and Rusko developed in the United Kingdom in the early 2000s. It incorporates similar rhythmic elements and, most notably, samples from the Roland TR-808 drum machine.The “808” sound was developed mostly out of necessity, as the TR-808 was one of the least expensive drum machines available at the birth of hip-hop. music takes much of its sound - and attitude - from Dirty South hip-hop. It’s just that - you trapped.”Early influences in the trap game are names the average listener will most likely remember from their middle school years: Three 6 Mafia, TI, Gucci Mane and Waka Flocka Flame.

The sound is a product of a rough life on the street, dealing drugs and trying to get by.“I think the ‘trap’ term came from Atlanta,” said DJ Scream, a prolific trap producer, in an interview with LiveMixtapes TV. The term describes the snare-like nature of inner-city communities, where hip-hop and now trap music were born. And although much of trap’s vanguard prefers well-designed synths to lyrics, it’s not uncommon for a witty wordsmith to lay down his rhymes over a hard-hitting trap beat.“The trap” is a place, but it’s not one you could find on a map. It’s hip-hop’s new face for the electronic era, and it sounds a lot like you might expect.Low-down bass booms under the rattle of triplet snare drum patterns and rolling hi-hats, while punchy synth lines and gunshot/cash register/hawk scream sound effects deck out the upper end of trap’s sound. From the blues to hip-hop, this southern metropolis has fostered a broad range of some of music’s most influential genres.Now, the recent boom of electronic dance music (EDM) in the United States has given rise to the South’s dirtynew sound: real trap shit.Trap music is a hybrid genre, a volatile mix of European house synthesizers, dubstep’s wobbly sub-bass and Dirty South hip-hop’s hard edge.

Its faster page-turn rate means there's no delay while you read. The screens are brighter overall at their max and have adjustable warm lighting, but only the Signature can auto-adjust that brightness to your surroundings-we think that should be standard across all models.
