![]() ![]() In any discussion about the worth or otherwise of travel insurance, it is worth nothing how much treatments cost overseas. What will it cost if I get sick on holidays? Then there is the fact that having access to the public health system in the EU will make little difference to a person who is the victim of a crime and it will most likely not get them home to Ireland in an air ambulance. It is also worth pointing out that in our experience if trips have to be cancelled for much more serious reasons - such as bereavements or very grave illnesses, travel companies tend to be more sympathetic. They will point out that that is exactly what travel insurance is for and they can’t be expected to pick up the tab for every illness and misfortune that befalls their customers. If a trip has to be cancelled because one of the travelling party breaks a limb or needs to have a minor surgery, a travel operator will almost certainly refuse to entertain any request for a refund or rebooking. While the upset on the part of those who contact us is entirely understandable, so too is the position adopted by the companies. We frequently hear from people who have suffered some misfortune and are upset with airlines or tour operators because they have been refused refunds or at the very least the opportunity to reschedule trips. ![]()

After games were translated to Chinese, Roblox could then make some of them visible in the country. Roblox, meanwhile, had a massive back catalog of user-made content it could bring to China. Roblox also pointed to Tencent’s repeated failures at launching user-generated content (UGC) gaming in the past few years. Although Tencent was likely to create a similar platform, and seemed to have one in the works in the wings, Roblox had no copycats in China yet, according to the slides. ![]() Using a non-work phone or computer, you can contact Joseph Cox securely on Signal on +44 20 8133 5190, Wickr on josephcox, or 2017, the Chinese market seemed wide open for Roblox. “Will need heightened security globally,” the Roblox slide on security continued.ĭo you work at Roblox?

The documents were originally obtained and then published online this month by a separate, criminal hacker who attempted to extort Roblox. There is no evidence that Tencent did target Roblox. ![]() Users and developers also “must not tamper with historical facts” and “must not appear any images or names of national leaders.” The documents also show the steps Roblox had to take in order for its game to comply with Chinese censorship laws: any maps created in the game had to “respect the integrity of the country and not misrepresent the Chinese territory,” including by recognizing Beijing’s claim of self-ruled Taiwan as part of its territory, according to a presentation given to Roblox by Tencent. “Expect it to ramp up after a deal is signed, possibly even by partner.” The slide dates from before Roblox ultimately announced a partnership with Tencent. “Expect that hacking has already started,” one slide in a presentation from 2017, called “China MVP Ideas from Aug Trip CONFIDENTAL,” read. ![]() ![]() ![]() "The inside wall is block and this is brick facing.

Others were equally creative but with fewer frills. Some went underground, such as a family who built an elaborate escape from radiation in a old Arkansas cave. But some families were even more prepared. In the early 1960s many families had a 125-page civil defense manual that taught us about everything from gamma rays to gieger counters.

Those of us who lived through the Cold War remember it as a frightening time. Russian nuclear missiles were pointed right at eastern North Carolina and we knew it wouldn't take long to strike from Cuba. If you purchase these poles, instead of chopping them down yourself, you're looking at an average cost of about $20 per log, or $400 for 20 logs.As Americans, we were confident in our military. The poles should over-hang the edges by at least a foot in order to help support the soil on top. Step 4: Once you've dug your trench, lay your wooden poles over top of it. A basic 3-by-11 foot waterproof tarp should run you between $20-$40. Step 3: When completed, place waterproof material over each end of the shelter to form an overhead canopy - this should keep your shelter dry as well as catch any dropping fallout. It should be about two feet wide by three and a half feet deep - it's basically a crawl space and can double as an emergency exit for smaller individuals. Dig this trench just under the ground's surface with an opening to the surface at the end of it. At the other end of the trench, dig a five-foot-long ventilation trench to help circulate air. Step 2: Next, dig a five-foot-long entrance with steps or a slope down into the main area.

However, Dead Space 2 already did that in 2011, so most of the major changes that are featured in the remake simply bring it up to speed with its sequel. On nearly every level, the Dead Space remake innovates on ideas present in the first game to make for a snappier, more engaging title. While that helps modernize the aging 2008 original, its sequel doesn’t stand to gain much from the same refresh. Its new colors sure look nice, but they’re all pulled straight from Dead Space 2‘s palette. While I was a big fan of the remake, it feels like a fresh coat of paint rather than a new foundation. There is a lot to love about the way that the Dead Space remake reimagines the 2008 survival horror classic while also staying true to its roots. ![]() ![]() ![]() In December 1944, German forces launch a surprise attack through the Ardennes Forest in Belgium. This is the story of the climax in the struggle for North Africa, which would change the course of the Second World War. In 1942, Erwin 'The Desert Fox' Rommel's Desert Afrika Corps faced off against Field Marshal Bernard Montgomery's Eighth Army. This is a story of survival, where a few out-numbered tankers manage to hold off an enemy of overwhelming size in one of the greatest tank battles ever waged. ![]() In 1973, Syria launches a surprise attack against Israel in the Golan Heights. This is the story of how the American 2nd Armoured Cavalry Regiment used superior equipment and training to overcome a blinding sandstorm and hundreds of tanks manned by Iraq's elite Republican Guard.

Then there are all those references to Elvis Presley and "The Wizard of Oz," ranging from humorous to humiliating.Ĭage, wearing a snakeskin jacket, smoking two cigarettes at a time and doing a self-conscious Elvis impersonation much of the way (he even sings two Presley songs), is fascinating to watch, as is Dern in a role that is 180 degrees from her "Blue Velvet" character. Meanwhile there are all kinds of seemingly unrelated sequences, probably the most memorable belonging to Crispin Glover as "Jingle Dell," a Christmas-crazy looney-tune relative of Lula's who puts cockroaches in his underwear and believes aliens with black gloves are out to get him. ![]() So she sends the naive detective who loves her (Harry Dean Stanton) out to find them, then also sends a hit man who wants to kill Sailor and the detective.Īs they travel, "Sail" and "Peanut," as they call each other, encounter all kinds of weirdos, culminating with a band of goons in Bad Tuna, Texas. Marietta hates Sailor, thinking he knows something about a secret she's kept buried for many years. Most of the movie is a road trip, with Sailor and Lula running away from her mother, the psychotic Marietta Fortune (played by Dern's real-life mother, Diane Ladd), who sucks martinis and smears lipstick all over her face, which tends to clash with her orange nail polish. Nicolas Cage is Sailor Ripley, a hot-tempered, violent ex-con in love with Lula Pace Fortune, played by Laura Dern, moving as far away from her clean-scrubbed image as she can get.

![]() ![]() In fact, I would argue, and I've read many others who argue, that assurance is vital to your spiritual growth and to your effective ministry. ![]() I've counseled many over the years who've struggled with the same question. ![]() Early in my own Christian life, I struggled with, sometimes periodic and at other times fairly consistent doubts about whether or not I was in Christ. How can that happen? How can a man who has been so committed to Jesus Christ over a lifetime waiver and vacillate on the reality of whether or not he is truly in Christ? Well, I have to say that on a personal level, I certainly understand that kind of struggle. I am not a Christian." Twenty-five years later, Wesley wrote to his brother, "I have no direct witness. I have not, though I have constantly used all the means of grace for 20 years. I feel this moment I do not love God which there I know because I feel it again. ![]() I felt I did trust in Christ, Christ alone, for salvation and an assurance was given me that He had taken away my sins, even mine, and saved me from the law of sin and death." That's a wonderful testimony, isn't it? But it was less than a year later, the following January, that Wesley wrote this, "I am not a Christian now. As a result of that reading, he writes in his journal, "about a quarter before nine, while he was describing the change which God works in the heart through faith in Christ, I felt my heart strangely warmed. It was on that John Wesley listened as someone read the preface to Luther's commentary on Romans. John Wesley was the founder of Methodism.
