Hello everybody i´m Laurent the Protector Class Represent, like some of my partners did (Aura,ihgyug,WarMachine and menma).
Im here for share my suggestions with you all about the class I play -> Protector and also for read all your suggestions for share them to the team for keep the information updated in the website we work (trello).
-Physical Blessing- My Suggestion its add here "HP" instead of "HP Recovery" it gives for make it more useful in PVE/PVP. And move it only to Protector Skill Tree.
-Taunt & Taunting Cry- My Suggestion here its increase "Enemy´s Hostility" of Taunt skills since at these days with casters hitting over 3k Damage on cap resistances, sometimes its hard keep the aggro.
-Survival Instinct & Skin Of Stone- I would remove Skin Of Stone Skill since its used mostly as filler, and I would increase Short/Long Defense from Survival Instinct, for benefict both Commanders/Protectors to have a better passive defense buff no kickeable by Soccer Kick from sins.
-Rush- My suggestion here its move this skill from Commander Tree to Defender Tree, this skill can be really good for Protector to take Moobs more faster in PVE and for catch enemy´s more easier in PVP.
-Low Blow- My suggestion here its increase "Enemy´s Hostility" and Maximum targets too, since at level 10 only 6 targets its to low..
-"About Heals Skills" - in my opinion Heals are fine how atm are, good Skill Downtime too + with some magic gears.. / titan remains -hearts as enchants.. / and working in your SCAD you can get decent / good ones.
-"About Block Skills" - Some Assassins already get 3k CAD, with my Block defense (1.300 aprox ) before assassins damaged on me more or less between 1,2-1,4k Damage X2, now after this weapons MDC some of them are hitting me like 2k X2 aprox, so I would suggest make "Block Defense Skills" a bit highter for try balance it.
As final Part I will share some Suggestions that other People/Players already asked me, I will share them here.
1- "Counterattack Skill" for Protectors: Since our Damage its not our best, our Defense and Survival its, a counter skill would be perfect because we could hit the targets not using our physical strength.
I would like to say Really Thanks for Read and also I would like that you share your Opinion and your suggestions also here, I will read them all and share.
Have you all a great Day.
I like skin of stone wew ._.
Keep physical blessing to defender so commies can benefit from it too ._.
The rest seems ok, except defense debuff ._.
I have two points. Prot needs more speed in general because even with rush, if it doesn't bug, you still have to run after a person 96% of the time, so I'd say add a speed skill buff or passive so that these tanks can at least move around. When I was a protector it was fun cornering -_-y people, but if they run in a straight line you're just laughably slow.
The second thing is the def down debuff. There are already alot of def debuffs and if there are even more they will start to completely mess us up. instead maybe ad a skill that does unavoidable, REASONABLE damage that ignores a bit of armor, otherwise when certain classes get debuffed sins and zerks will flock to them like flies on poo.

So we came to Protector. ..
But i would not give him a Rush or movement Speed increase, thats not the typical characteristic of a Tank.
He is supposed to be slow, it should feel rewarding to decide for a Tank what`s his priority to protect.
And he should not be able to Protect the Full Party, thats kind of Healers Job.
So i have no complains about his Speed. Since he is even able to cancel negative combats effects.
It should not only the Job from the Tank to run towards the Allys, the Allys should simple feel the interest to stay close to the Tank or Hide behind him.
But can a Tank take the Agro from Enemies besides PvE? well have the Potential to be one of the mightily Tools in PvP.
So from a 100 % SCC Perspective i say lower the SCC with Broken Morale to 25 or 30 % this would have a noticeable difference.
If your not gonna to revamp the Class from the scratch. Since i won`t aspect that from the Dev`s i leave it with that saying.
Need pasive buff %HP in first profession.
20% on 10 lvl skill. Or more.
Now commander/protector have to small HP. In best gear - 30-40K. Zerk and warlord 50-70k.
Its madness. DD profession with 70k and tank with 30k.
-Reqbug: I totally agree with u, I mentioned it also in commy topic. need more hp as for commy as for prot.
-Sandy: I understand u want to keep prots slow coz tanks are slow (except T-72 ), but maybe, some prots would fight with other ppl, not only in pve. If they dont have more speed then how could they reach mages who always keep distance?? No way. They need an ability to catch them. If everybody wanna them be slow, then they need a skill which pull the enemies to the prots instantly from far. It could be AoE, with for example only 15-20sec cd, like an Anti-Gravitation skill:D It would be a wonderfull skill also for commies, me and warmachine talked about it, but we have rush-slow-speed buff already...tanks are in bigger trouble.
Back to prots: They need 5x stronger taunt, chance to get closer to mages, more hp, and more block def maybe it should work only for PVE. Laurent i know sins hit harder with mdc weaps, but u already have 1,3k block def. Commy has just 5-600, other classes have nothing. For meele not so easy to beat prots even now. Maybe they can remove ur half hp fastly, but ur 3 heals make it full at once. I agree for more block to u but only for bosses. I also suggested that every bosses should be much more stronger because currently every class can tanking easily. Only commy/prot should be able to do this. if bosses would become stronger then u will need more block def for them.

to give each Class kill Potential is simple, but to balance em out is the real challenge.
into my Eyes your just giving up on the characteristic of each Class by providing em with more DMG.
Can`t you see that DMG has leads us to this Problem in the first Place?
Protector is one of the few Classes who actually can take out DMG. With help from "Broken Moral"
But you ignore that and simply make him more similar to all other Classes?
Gesus don`t do Protector Job than apply for Commy.
You sound like that Tanks can`t deal Dmg at all..
Mk so...I am going to partially agree with everyone.
Yes a prot should be a protector. Not an attacker. So I don't think prots need more attacking skills.
However, I agree on him having either rush or a speed buff.
Correct they don't need to do more damage, most are saying that its ridiculous that they have more damage than a commander (skill). But not having the ability to even reach an opponent before they are stunned/slowed/hushed makes them ignorable brick walls instead of a reasonable threat. Sot they do need some type of ability to get closer to people, whether that is a very temporary speed boost or a skill like the one I proposed that brings the enemy to you.
P.S. Berry said that people were applying for 2 jobs. So repping commie/prot would not be unusual if Vernon had applied. Plus, I myself know protectors like the back of my hand so hopefully anyone with extra insight can suggest some reasonable changes.
he don`t needs to be a "reasonable threat" against Casters.
I`m not a fan of concepts where Classes can everything a bit but nothing really good.
So that`s why i don`t like a Berserker with Heals or a Protector with Rush forward.
A Protectors Place is in the middle of the Group. To heal Allys, or to release em from Movement debuffs.
He can use his Tounts to detect nears SR/Assassins, he can even dot em to prevent fast re stealth.
Who only think about kills and not..you know Team play.
was around 3K so no Problem, tanking Dmg. means contribution too.
The real Complains started when they made Zerk OP and when Assassins became MDC Weapons.
Ofc. Caster can do now way to much DMG too, all that started with new Weapons and Enchants.
So i know this seams asking for to much but don`t mistake "cause" & "effect"
If the DMG became unbalance than ONLY defensive Skills will outbalance this.
Not more DMG that`s fighting Fire with Fire.
Creating simply a new DMG dealer is no Solution it will become part of the Problem.
Under normal Conditions a Protector is more worth than 2 DMG Dealer , when he has fair geared Allys on the Battlefield to protect. And here we see the REAL Problem. We have empty Battlefields and no average DMG range only OP as hell or underpowered. So mby. save your Energies for that instead of unbalancing even more.
In the Past a Supportive Char like Protector was a HUGE advantage for the Group, even if he did not kill anyone.
We lost that , today only DMG matters thats a sad gaming concept. So improve the Defensive Skills, to the meaning they once had in the Past. That`s simply restoring the Class to his old Glory - nothing else needed.
Anyways i can only repeat myself at this Point so this is my last Post here.
Edited by Sandyman, 11 October 2015 - 01:13 AM.
I understand poor casters are afraid of everything nowadays what with their stacked scad doing only 1k damage on cap. But if a protector would like to have a build where it can do more than just stand still and go afk off heals they should have the option.
Where does this concept relate with the current protector.
Already said it does not have to be a rush, can be a pull that does not effect speed.
Melee characters with no ranged abilities, regardless of their role, should be able to HIT THEIR TARGET. You know? being MELEE and all. Nough said.
That is the point of plate mail? No see you have them confused with Radiants. Protectors are Paladins, and their place is at the front lines. Wtf is a meat shield doing if he is not at the front soaking in damage?
Why? Casters aoe's are much more effective. And they never leave them so whats the point?
Has nothing to do with ego, don't bring that rubbish in here. Melee characters that are tanks choose this role becuause they want to fight, not sit in the back and spam heals.
It's not about killing, its about crowd control and being a hindrance. If you cant even get the other teams attention because they know they can stand still and ignore you, why even hit you in the first place.
No CASTER was complaining. Some players actually want to play, who cares if contrib maxes or not.
LOL no...there were complaints way before that, just nobody paid any attention until now.
You're mistaking the meaning of cause and effect here.
Still said they don't need more damage, we all said they have a more damage skill than commanders THE Dps turan melee.
Lol no offense, but at this point I really have to ask. What battlefields have you been on where you'd want a protector rather than two defilers? Maybe an op rad.
2) There was no point in going for kills when your main purpose was that of a rad with plate mail on. Spam heals, sit back, enjoy popcorn.
3) Peoples damage was not reaching the 10k mark.
Aside from this, where are you seeing that people are asking for more damage? We all already know protectors shouldn't have the most hp, the most defense, AND the most dmg. Just the hp and def. And that's exactly what everyone is saying. So drop this reasoning, no one is asking for protectors to hit harder. A few protectors even said they wouldn't mind hitting LESS, they would just like to hit PERIOD.
But if you know so much about this class and why it has failed, then I suggest you take your own advice, which was originally directed towards Vernon.
"Gesus don`t do Protector Job than apply for Commy"
Don't do protector job then not apply at all. Or in this case have no clue about the class.
LEts be honest, 80% of complaints are casters being afraid of having another melee chasing after them. Ofc its easier just to point out all the superficial flaws of the game instead of admitting the real issue.
Now get back on topic. Not why game is failing and other classes. Everyone already knows this. Don't spam this tread like one in the community chat, it will just lead the management to further ignore our suggestions.
Edited by BloodyHalo, 11 October 2015 - 08:55 PM.
I recently joined a foc match on my prot.it was nothing big, just 3v3.
Enemy had 2 elements and a zerk. My team was something worthless.
Whatever, I'm a prot with at that moment 41k hp, don't have a 40% hp.
100% block, 100% scc, 80% all resist without infinite shield.
Against the elements and zerk I lasted exactly 10 seconds. That's with 2x 4.5k heals and pretty decent hot.
I'm not saying I should have killed any of them. I'm not saying I shouldn't have died at all. I'm saying, a prot, which is a meatshield should last longer than 10 seconds against 3 players.
So for pvp, something is wrong. Prot cannot do its job.
Now sure I have played my prot as a healer, and that's fine and dandy and I max contribution really fast, but it's a prot. Not a rad. Prot should be able to run into battle and force players to attack him, he should survive a good long amount and he might even be able to ks 1 kill.
That I'd not what's happening.
Hell, I got ripped apart by some garbage sin. Dint even need soccer kick.
Now this problem correlates to pve aspect as well.
Why take a prot that has crap damage into a raid when you can take a mystic, who does insane dmg and takes a wooing 1.3k more dmg. That's nothing.
Eh, increasing taunt doesn't help. Prot has 0 use in game at this point.
Only reason I keep mine is because Nova is dead and with it I can no rad tank everything. And it's relaxing.
Lol in pvp all they do is make my job 10000x harder by buffing the other team's def, and then proceed to run around in circles.
I think all armors cept for plate obviously need to have their defense lowered.
The core problem with a Protector, or any tank for that matter, doesn't have to do with the class or skills or anything of that sort. It has to do with how this game has "progressed" into a mindless and illogical mess, that has NO basic rules to govern game play.
If you actually have classes, there must be SOME rules about what classes can and can NOT do. And as far as I know, Requiem is not The Elder Scrolls and never was. The game was lost the day every other class and their grandma became capable to perform what they were never meant to.
This was obviously done through sheer misjudgement of "skill progression", but of course, far more important was and is the totally lunatic capabilities of "gear" and how far you can actually enhance it. The bare character is an empty shell until you dress them up in some "godly aura", enabling them to perform anything and everything.
We can now go back and discuss our lovely ideas about how to make Protectors (and any other tanks) worth their penny, while the next clothie bozzo will always do it way better.
yeah prots are paladins. they must be in heart of battles, but like a moving fortress. i don't want a rush , and i don't want some kind of "magnetic or black hole attraction" either ( not even sure they would be able to do it).
Honestly i understand what all of you mean including Sandy even if yes , i think he misunderstand what you are trying to do for the class , what is a honorable try . But not in the good way i think.
Chasing casters and rangers should be only the COMMIE task among turan race.
While the PROT task should be to kill the ones fools enough to come in close fight attacking team , team mates , meaning being able to crush zerks , commies and over all sins. i EVER think that prot was the real natural nemesis of sins. It's not about staying like a fail rad in middle of group far from front lines. We should be able to go there too and survive. But more for support and control/ground control than kills.
Don't missunderstand me : again , i think TOO , prot MUST BE ABLE TO make his OWN kills for adding some fun and excitment. But not like a "chaser" , more like a guard . In this purpose we need a far higher range taunt for unstealthing sins and turn into a real problem for them , in same time yeah more block and block def for balancing last zerks skills revamp and MDC weapons.
and probably stronger heals or some passive immunities to crowds in order to prevent the "perma stun" aspect ( working combo for both zerks and sins) losing in front of nukers is logic to me. But yeah like Norrin said below , not so fast and not so easily. They should hesitate , maybe flee before considering us like an easy kill.
maybe add some kind of close range root skill ?
had same conclusions during moths before leaving ReQQ . Death of any kind of fun for our class.
yeah like war/bloody and i said somewhere else months ago ( and i remember you add your voice there too ) high defense/block/hp should be reserved for tanks only. But yeah probably too late , like for zerk hp and heals... even without adding damages to tanks classes that would make clothies and dps think twice before they are "natural born tanking killers"
Edited by ARKILIUS, 18 October 2015 - 09:15 AM.
sorry Sandy is not alone about that point of Rush again better have some kind of crowd to keep lil sneaky bastards in place while bashing them instead of being an other "chaser" class.


Antioxidant-rich foods will strengthen your immune system helping it fight free radicals and maintain good health. Selecting a healthy diet rich in antioxidants helps the body function at its peak, promote good health, and increase longevity. Glutathione is a "master antioxidant" that is produced within your body.
In order to understand the benefits of antioxidants, you must first know what they are and how they work. They are compounds, also known as "free radical scavengers", because they aid in preventing damage from free radicals.
Antioxidants are contained in many different foods. They help to keep cells healthy by removing waste. This waste or compound is also known as a free radical. Sometimes free radicals occur during metabolism, and other times our immune system creates them to fight bacteria and viruses. In addition, they can be caused by things you are exposed to such as herbicides, pollution, and cigarette smoke.
Free radicals attach themselves to normal cells in the body and eventually damage them. There is a way to reduce the incidence of free radicals. One is a change in lifestyle. For example, stopping smoking or not overeating are two ways of controlling them.
However, this does not completely stop the production of free radicals. Even though your body has natural defenses to decrease the effect of free radicals, you can help by eating foods rich in antioxidants. As food is digested, antioxidants are released. They travel into cells via the bloodstream.
What are Vitamins That Contain Antioxidants?
There are three main antioxidant vitamins.
Beta-carotene is one that is contained in plant pigments and converts to Vitamin A in the body. It is often considered a form of the vitamin and promotes immunity, vision, and overall health.
Vitamin C or ascorbic acid is another that is often taken as supplement. Studies are still being conducted on this vitamin that is often touted for preventing colds. There is no evidence that is does so, but it may lessen the duration of a cold. It has been proven to prevent the disease, scurvy.
Vitamin E is often taken as a supplement, but it is naturally contained in many foods. This vitamin helps your eyes and skin to stay healthy. It also boosts immunity. Stored in the liver until it is needed, Vitamin E can only be absorbed using fat from your diet.
Beta-carotene is found in many fruits and vegetables. Asparagus, broccoli, carrots, and corn are a few of the vegetables containing beta-carotene. Some of the fruits containing this antioxidant are peaches, apricots, pink grapefruit, and tangerines.
Vitamin C is contained in a variety of fruits and vegetables as well. Sweet potatoes, Brussels sprouts, kale, and cauliflower are some of the vegetables containing Vitamin C. Strawberries, kiwi, cantaloupe, berries, and oranges are good fruit sources of Vitamin C.
Vitamin E is found in foods such as nuts, pumpkin, avocado, spinach, and sunflower seeds. There are other antioxidants such as zinc and selenium that offer health benefits. Zinc is found in red meat, seafood, dairy products, and poultry. Foods containing selenium include tuna, grain products, and beef.
What are the Benefits of Eating Food Rich in Antioxidants?
Boosting the immune system is one of the benefits of eating food that is rich in antioxidants. Foods that contain Vitamins A, C, and E suppress free radicals. This is beneficial for stopping different types of cancer and can help to strengthen the immune system of people with HIV.
In addition to improving your overall health, studies have shown that antioxidants can offer protection against several different diseases such as Alzheimer's, cardiovascular disease, and macular degeneration.
Although many supplements are sold containing these antioxidants, obtaining them naturally through a healthy diet has been shown to be more beneficial. The body does produce antioxidants naturally (i.e. the "master antioxidant" glutathione) to decrease the effects of free radicals, but the benefits are increased with the help of antioxidants from a healthy diet. As your body ages, it does not produce as many natural antioxidants.
Maintaining a high level of antioxidants may help to slow down aging. There are some studies showing that they may be helpful for reversing the loss of memory or preventing it, particularly antioxidants in foods rich in Vitamins C and E. Combining certain antioxidant-foods has also shown advantages.
One example is antioxidants found in spinach, strawberries, and blueberries. When combined, they aid in protecting the nervous system. They restrict an enzyme that is present in neurological disorders such as schizophrenia, depression, and autism.
Coffee and tea drinkers can benefit from the antioxidants in their morning beverage. There have been some studies showing that tea and coffee contain polyphenol antioxidants that stop the oxidation of fats. Polyphenols are micronutrients found in foods. The oxidation of fats can cause extensive inflammation as well as increasing the chance for diabetes and heart disease.
Can Antioxidants Help You to Live a Longer More Active Life?
Free radicals can cause damage to your DNA. This damage can cause healthy cells to operate differently. They may begin to reproduce out of control, and tumors can form. The tumors can be cancerous. Some studies have shown when you eat plenty of vegetables and fruits, you may have a lowered risk of certain cancers.
When you consume foods that have shown to reduce the incidence of certain diseases, as well as slowing the aging process, this improves the chance that you will feel better because you are healthier. The healthier you are, the more active you can be, and this can help you to live longer.
Many times a disease is contracted because the immune system is weak. Among other beneficial aspects, antioxidants help to boost the immune system. Your immune system is essential to fighting off disease and illness to help keep you healthy.
The importance of a healthy diet is about more than a great body. While eating well and exercising does help you maintain a healthy weight, your diet affects your health. What you put into your body provides you with energy. It affects your immune system. It affects your cognitive function. If you're not putting the correct foods into your body, you're causing problems you might not see. The food you eat is the fuel your body requires to work well, and eating the wrong food can have a devastating effect on your overall health.
You've heard the term, but do you know what it means? Antioxidants are chemicals found in certain foods. They fight the effects of aging and certain types of disease, which is what you might prefer as you age. A process called oxidation occurs naturally in your body as you age. The term used to describe the oxidation process is free radicals, which is another term you might recognize from ads promoting anti-aging products.
The problem with oxidation is breathing causes it. You can't stop oxidation from occurring because you need to breathe to live. To help you better understand what free radicals do in your body, it's important to note they aren't all damaging. They are useful in fighting germs that cause the common cold and other illnesses. Certain situations, however, cause free radicals to produce too quickly, and that is when they begin to cause problems in your body. For example, you know second-hand smoke is dangerous, but did you know it's because it introduces too many free radicals into your body? Aging is the other situation that causes too much oxidation in your body.
Antioxidants, however, are used to fight oxidation. Your body naturally creates its own antioxidants, but they become fewer and less common as you age. It's why the aging process is commonly related to the onset of illness and disease. Antioxidants are most commonly found in certain plants, and that means you can introduce them to your body by eating a diet that's rich in antioxidants.
One of the best ways to fight free radicals and the problems they cause is to eat a healthy diet rich in antioxidants. Specific plants provide what you need, which is why you must know which foods are right for you. Your body requires plenty of the following to help you fight free radicals and live a healthier life, such as Vitamin E, Vitamin C, Beta Carotene, Lycopene, and Lutein.
Fruits and vegetables are the best foods to consume if you want to eat a healthy diet rich in antioxidants. To be sure you're eating enough antioxidant-rich food, be sure you're including at least one of the following in every meal you consume.
Tangerines, oranges, strawberries, kiwi, broccoli, and sweet peppers are great sources of Vitamin C.
Eggplant, berries, and grapes help you get the recommended amount of anthocyanin.
Broccoli, kale, corn, and spinach are an excellent source of lutein.
Carrots, sweet potatoes, red peppers, pumpkin, mangoes, cantaloupe, and apricots provide ample beta-carotene.
Tomatoes and watermelon provide lycopene.
Vitamin E is found in peanut butter, avocado, seeds, nuts, and wheat germ.
By including numerous antioxidant-rich foods in your diet, you benefit your body in more ways than one. The most important benefit is the increased immune system function your body experiences as you eat better meals. Your immune system becomes stronger, which allows it to better fight off infection and illness. You'll become less prone to the common cold and other health issues. This also decreases your risk of developing more serious diseases and illnesses as you age.
Another excellent benefit shows up where you can see it. Your skin looks much better when you eat a diet rich in antioxidants. You're less prone to age spots, dark spots, and wrinkles. Your skin glows, and you look younger. It's one of the best benefits because it's one you can see.
You lose weight when you eat a healthy diet filled with fruits and vegetables. To maximize the benefits of a healthy diet on your body, be sure you're living a physically active lifestyle. Try to spend at least 20 minutes per day being physically active for the best results. You cannot out-exercise a poor diet, but you can eat well and exercise for the best results.
By eating well and taking care of your body, you can reduce your risk of heart problems, eye problems, and even memory problems. You give yourself a chance to live a longer and healthier life. This type of life is higher quality, which means you get to enjoy more of it as you age. Antioxidant-rich foods are not only good; they're good for your health now and later.
You can still enjoy the foods you love the most even if they're not on the list of antioxidant-rich foods. The key is to enjoy other items in moderation. Try not to deprive yourself. You are more likely to succeed eating a healthy diet and living a healthy lifestyle if you use the 80/20 rule. Make sure 80 percent of your food is healthy, and enjoy your favorites the other 20 percent.

We are now offering the chance to extend your Ultra Budget group tour in North Korea with our DMZ Day Tour Extension. Our day tour down to the DMZ (Panmunjom), Kaesong City and Sariwon City extension. Whilst you're visiting North Korea why not take this time to visit the exact area where officials from both North and South Korea meet to exchange talks.
The DMZ is strictly a no man's land which divides the Korean peninsula into two nations. With landmines, high concrete walls, tank traps and soldiers guarding this area 24/7, it is dubbed the tensest border in the world. Panmunjom is the only area where tourists from both North and South Korea are allowed to visit with access to the UN owned "blue hut" which gives you the advantage of technically standing in both Koreas at once.
During this extension, you'll have the chance to visit Kaesong city, the closest North Korean city to the DMZ where you'll have lunch, Panmunjom (DMZ) area, and Sariwon City – a city located halfway between Pyongyang and Kaesong.

The Big Green Bus is a retired city bus renovated into a mini traveling hotel
under Architecture, carousel showcase, Gallery, Green Building, Innovation, Recycled Materials, Sustainable Materials
by Nicole Jewell
The Big Green Bus is a renovated double-decker city bus brought back from the depths of the scrap yard. The bus is an original 1982 west midlands metro bus that has been converted by carpenter Adam Collier-Woods into a three room traveling rental that sleeps up to six. If you are worried about having to rough it, never fear: the bus also has a full kitchen, bathroom and even a wood-burning stove for those chilly winter days.
Collier-Woods bought the 31-year-old public transport bus on eBay for £4,500 (approx $7,400). "I had a look on eBay and found that double deckers were not as expensive as I would have thought, so bought one for £4,500. I quite simply wanted to give people the experience of staying in something like this, and I think people are interested because it's the type of bus they may have taken to school." Determined to maintain its vintage look, Mr. Collier-Woods spent over $16,000 in renovation materials as well as various furnishings found on the inside and, of course, an abundance of bright green paint.
For six months, the carpenter worked tirelessly to restore the aged bus into a cozy vacation rental with two double bedrooms, a kitchen and even a log-burning stove. It sleeps up to six people and is a great accomodation option for anyone looking to visit the English countryside.

Here's the biggest automotive defect injuries story you've never heard of. Seventeen children have been killed in accidents involving collapsing seat backs over the past 15 years, and practically no one knows about it, nor has anyone done much of anything about it. For perspective, the infamous Takata airbags have taken fewer lives—ten—as of January, 2016. An investigative report released in March, 2016, done by CBS News, identified over 100 people, many of them children, who have been severely injured or killed because of seat back failures since 1989.
Crash tests have proved that one of the things that can happen when a seat back collapses is the driver is launched backwards, slamming into the person in the back seat. This means that drivers can also be injured when their heads hit the back seat after their seat back collapses. A seventy-year-old female ended up paralyzed after her minivan's seat broke when the vehicle was hit from behind.
The Story of Jesse Rivera, Jr.
Seven-year-old Jesse Rivera, Jr., was left with permanent brain damage after the driver's seat broke during a rear-ender accident in San Antonio, Texas. Jesse's father, who was driving, was thrown headfirst into his son. While the father is now alright, Jesse, now eleven, will need care for the rest of his life.
The Riveras sued the car's manufacturer, Audi, and received a verdict of over $124.5 million. It's sad to think that all this misery came about because of a problem that, as some car companies admit, would cost only a dollar or two to repair.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) states it has investigated the issue, but because it characterizes these kinds of accidents as "rare," they claim it is difficult to upgrade the standard needed to strengthen the seat backs. In fact, the NHTSA hasn't reviewed changes to the standard in 12 years—since 2004.
At least three automakers, on their own, have since gone beyond the NHTSA standard and made their seat backs stronger to guard against failure. Notably, they are Mercedes-Benz, BMW, and Volvo.
But that's it. That's all that has been done to fix a problem that has killed more people than Takata air bags. And so the risks to our children and other loved ones continue.
The Louthian Law Firm has represented injured South Carolinians in personal injury suits since 1959. With our firm on the case, you can rest assured that you'll receive the personalized attention you deserve. If you or a loved one have been seriously injured in an auto accident, it's important to make sure that you understand your legal rights. Defective auto cases require a thorough investigation by an experienced legal team to determine which individuals and companies should be named as defendants and which legal theories should be pursued. South Carolina law can be complex, and there is a deadline for filing a claim.

GRIS Review – A Woman's Worth
December 14, 2018	 Posted by	James Wood News, Nintendo Switch, PC, Review
"Inward is not a direction. Inward is a dimension" – Jaggi Vasudev
GRIS understands this quote better than any game before it. On one level, it functions as a wondrous collection of puzzles tied together with expertly crafted platforming but under the surface lies a piece of art worthy of discussion for years to come.
A stunning exploration of trauma and womanhood, GRIS is a must play title.
GRIS Review
More spiritual ambition in its concepts and design than most games you'll play this year
Nomada Studio has come out swinging with GRIS. It is an amalgamation of the skills curated by studio heads Adriàn Cuevas and Roger Mendoza and the breathtaking art of Conrad Roset.
It all comes together with the support of Devolver Digital. Based in Barcelona and still relatively young, the studio's first game exhibits more spiritual ambition in its concepts and design than most games you'll play this year.
Cuevas and Mendoza founded Nomada with the goal of thoroughly blurring the lines between video game and art, and while this is certainly not unique to the studio, what they've achieved with GRIS is nothing short of magic.
Gris is a young woman on a journey of self-recovery. She is spurred on by a trauma that players can only begin to glimpse through metaphorical landscapes and puzzles.
Unable to summon her own voice, Gris's whole sense of self collapses around her. Players join her as she tumbles further and further into her mind; a vast, ethereal realm in which colour has vanished.
Littered across the realm are stars that have fallen from the sky. The world also includes monolithic statues of women which enable Gris to grow stronger in her quest to rediscover herself.
GRIS's gameplay is best described as a loose take on a puzzle platformer. It's clever — sometimes brilliantly so — but smoothes down the edges of difficulty typically found in the genre.
Achingly beautiful art direction. GRIS is undeniably stunning
Removing elements such as death and combat frees up the game to refine its pacing and focus almost entirely on visual storytelling and mood. Which isn't to say that GRIS does away with convention entirely.
The game operates out of a central tower which houses the fallen stars collected by Gris. Exploring the world will yield more stars and return colour to the landscape.
As colour returns, players will be unlocking new paths forward and granting Gris a small selection of gifts to navigate the world. These gifts are given after Gris endures a trial of sorts.
Transformative Gaming
The joy of GRIS is in the discovery
Early on, after weathering a harsh desert storm, Gris gains the ability to transform her dress into a solid block. This block is capable of slamming through weakened floors or activating mechanical switches.
I won't detail the rest of the abilities as the joy of GRIS is in the discovery. Each feels better than the last though, culminating in a truly moving sequence that I won't forget for quite some time.
Deeply spiritual, achingly human, immaculately constructed
Despite levels being crafted from fragments of Gris' mind, an assortment of whimsical environments, the places you'll explore seamlessly fit together.
Only once in the four or so hours of play did I lose my sense of direction.
Using subtle visual clues and level design, GRIS constantly guides you to your next goal without ever giving you the sense that you're being funnelled through a primarily linear experience.
All Skill Levels Welcome
GRIS's approach to difficulty may not be for everyone
The platforming is more often than not on the forgiving side. This is another design choice that allows for player exploration to happen organically. GRIS will eventually test you with some tighter platforming and physics-based puzzles.
These challenges occur naturally in the context of the narrative and only require some quiet reflection on your surroundings to solve. It's a delicate balancing act, keeping players engaged without ramping up the difficulty in an overt way, but GRIS never stumbles.
I find myself loathe to bring this up because I feel it does a disservice to the game but GRIS's approach to difficulty may not be for everyone.
An experience that almost anyone could pick up and play
A focus on accessibility has allowed Nomada to craft an experience that almost anyone could pick up and play but for some, this design ethos will immediately disqualify GRIS from consideration.
While not all art necessitates accessibility, Nomada's mission statement has taken them beyond traditional skill requirements and GRIS is a better game for it.
It helps, of course, that this mechanical foundation is paired with an achingly beautiful art direction. GRIS is undeniably stunning. A work of art so unique and fully realised that it will make the industry stand to attention.
GRIS stands shoulder to shoulder with Breath of the Wild or Red Dead Redemption 2 and will be talked about as they have this generation.
GRIS stands shoulder to shoulder with Breath of the Wild or Red Dead Redemption 2
Translating Roset's distinct watercolour style of art into the game has yielded incredible results.
There is not a single frame of GRIS that doesn't feel like a painting in motion.
Just as the game shies away from traditional platforming elements so too does it leave most of its narrative up for interpretation. A choice that gives Roset's work some mighty heavy lifting to do.
Gorgeous Visual Language
Fortunately, it's a gamble that pays off immensely, with much of GRIS' emotional impact conveyed through visual language and small flourishes. Roset's interpretation of a woman's journey inward manifests as geometrically strange landscapes and beautifully rendered sculptures.
Gris will explore lush forests, sunken caves, and palaces made of light and flowers, with each location building on the game's core motifs through metaphor and use of colour. Much like the gameplay, I fear spoiling the game's most stunning pieces; what Roset has crafted here begs to be seen for itself.
While Roset's art gives GRIS its arresting visual identity, the game's soundtrack and audio design are equally magnificent.
GRIS ties together its various threads into one of the strongest artistic statements of the medium.
Barcelona based trio Berlinist have crafted a soundtrack that haunts as often as it does inspire. A synth-laden journey through melancholic reverberations and quietly hopeful bursts of vocals.
The soundtrack shifts and evolves as Gris' understanding of herself does, blending in soft piano notes and ominous strings to underscore the game's more poignant moments.
Paired with crisp sound design best suited to high-quality headphones, GRIS ties together its various threads into one of the strongest artistic statements of the medium.
Girl, Interrupted
I've talked a lot about metaphors in GRIS because ultimately much of what you take away from the game's narrative comes down to interpretation.
Nomada has been very clear about the nature of the game. A young woman experiences a trauma and must find a way to heal, but the particulars are much looser.
If I could give one piece of advice for after you've completed the game; seek out women's voices on this one. I can only interpret and respond to so much in this, it feels crucially important that we listen to how this game makes the women around us feel.
I've pages of notes from my few hours with the game; I would frequently stop for lengthy periods of time just to ruminate on what I had just done or seen.
What does it mean that red was the first colour to return to Gris' mindscape? Did the small creature in the woods represent something or was it just there to be a cute puzzle solving mechanic?
Was the inclusion of *redacted* in the caves a reference to spiritual practices from long ago?
GRIS inspires this kind of thought.
It's deeply spiritual, achingly human, immaculately constructed and absolutely demands to be experienced in a time when games and art are finally indistinguishable from one another.
GRIS was reviewed on Switch using a digital code provided by the publisher.

Half of Americans back stronger role of religion in society
US presidents are traditionally sworn into office with their left hand placed on a copy of the Bible
Around half of Americans favor religion playing a greater role in US society, while 18 percent oppose that idea, according to a Pew Research Center study published Monday. Despite there being a separation of church and state, religion plays a significant part in daily US life: the president traditionally is sworn in using a Bible, while "In God We Trust" is printed on bank notes. France, Sweden and the Netherlands, meanwhile, posted almost opposite results: 47 percent, 51 percent and 45 percent respectively were opposed to religion playing a key role in society. Among the 27 countries surveyed in 2018, France (20 percent) and Japan (15 percent) were the countries with the lowest proportion of citizens favoring strengthening religion's role in society. Indonesia (85 percent), Kenya (74 percent) and Tunisia (69 percent) came out as the countries most in favor of a bigger place for religion. The study did not make a distinction between different religions. In the US, the proportion rose to 61 percent among people aged 50 and over, but dropped to 39 percent among 18 to 29-year-olds. The study was carried out with a representative sample of at least 1,000 people in each country.
Rome's Appian Way eyes UNESCO status
All roads lead to Rome, as the saying goes, and the most prestigious is the Appian Way, the strategic highway for the Roman Empire now hoping to become a UNESCO World Heritage Site.Italy, which earlier this month presented its bid for the Appian Way to UNESCO, already has 58 sites recognised as World Heritage Sites, the most of any country.


(New York, May 2007) -- Acoustiguide is proud to announce that it has been recognized with five major awards. The company is the recipient of 3 MUSE Awards in the Audio and Visual Interpretation category and 2 IRIS awards in the Audio or Visual Medium category.
At the 2007 MUSE Awards Acoustiguide won a gold for The Blanton Museum of Art's permanent collection audio program, Uncommon Commentaries, bronze for the Museum of Modern Art's (MoMA), Red Studio Teen Podcast and an honorable mention for the Chicago Office of Tourism's enhanced podcast, Chicago Blues. No other company has ever received three MUSE awards in one year. All three programs are available for download on iTunes.
Now in its 18th year, the MUSE Awards recognize outstanding achievement in museum media and are organized by the Media and Technology Standing Professional Committee of the American Association of Museums (AAM). Museum and media professionals from across the US judged nearly 200 applications submitted from a wide variety of museums in North America, Europe, Australia and Asia. Winning entries were expected to demonstrate outstanding achievement in content quality; interface design; functionality; production quality; visual appeal; the user's experience; and the intent to which new directions were charted or old challenges resolved through technical innovation.
In Acoustiguide's gold winning Blanton Museum of Art's, Uncommon Commentaries, voices of local Austin residents join the museum's curators and the University of Texas faculty in illuminating 32 works of art for listeners. The tour was designed to appeal to intellectually and artistically curious visitors, and creates an extraordinary experience connecting art and ideas. Uncommon Commentaries demonstrates that there are many ways to understand and enjoy works of art and encourages visitors to draw connections between their own experiences and art objects.
The judges said: "The skilful use of the audio medium results in an audio tour that is enriching, engaging, and educational. The tour has a very high production value, equal to segments on the radio" and commented that "much of its success comes because the museum opened the conversation to voices beyond normal categories of "authority" therefore validating the ability of the regular museum visitor to exercise his or her own critical judgment about works on view. The tour is enjoyable as an exhibition supplement, yet… is strong enough to stand on its own as a purely audio experience".
The Chicago Blues enhanced podcast, which is available at www.downloadchicagotours.com follows the development of electric blues, a true American tradition. The program features actual cuts from many of the great Blues artists and their followers. The primary goal of Chicago Blues is to educate listeners in the significance of Blues to the history of Chicago, as well as its importance in the larger landscape of American and international culture. It is meant to be rewarding both to those visitors who can come to take the tour in person, as well as those who cannot make the trip. A downloadable enhanced podcast and website couples archival images and maps with the audio production to allow users to experience the sights and sounds for themselves.
The coveted MUSE awards are in addition to two IRIS Awards bestowed by the International Association of Business Communicators' (IABC) on Uncommon Commentaries, and the Dead Sea Scrolls Family Tour, created with Discovery Place and the Pacific Science Center.
IRIS awards are presented by the New Jersey chapter of the IABC), a prestigious association of communications, marketing and PR executives.

Petition to Debenhams urges: Drop D&G
15 April 2015 19 May 2016 Peter Tatchell Foundation
44,000 people want action over "synthetic" IVF children insult
London, UK – 15 April 2015
A 44,000-strong petition was delivered today to Debenhams's flagship Oxford Street store in central London, asking them to stop stocking the fashion designers Dolce & Gabbana over their offensive dismissal of IVF babies as "synthetic children."
It was delivered by petition author and human rights activist, Peter Tatchell, members of the Out and Proud Diamond Group and Beth Granter of the petition site Care2.com.
The petition was originated by Peter Tatchell and Edwin Sesange of the Out and Proud group. It asks Debenhams to stop stocking D&G products in their stores, until D&G make a full retraction and apology. Their comments are seen as not only an attack on same-sex parents but on all parents who've had children with the aid of fertility treatment, including thousands of heterosexual couples.
Beth Granter at Care2.com worked as a coordinator of the petition and its delivery to Debenhams.
She said:
"We delivered the petition to Sarah Tennant, Head of Buying, at Debenhams HQ. We really hope that she listens to the 44,000 people who feel strongly about this issue. We look forward to hearing her response. Department stores have a responsibility to carry brands which represent their values. I hope D&G's comments do not represent Debenhams' views."
Peter Tatchell added:
"This petition is in support of the boycott campaign. We hope Debenhams will honour their equality and diversity commitments and listen to our concerns. Dolce and Gabbana are entitled to their views but we are entitled to protest against them and to ask stores to not sell their clothes."
Edwin Sesange noted:
"We are sending a clear message to Dolce and Gabbana that same-sex families are loving, happy families. Dolce and Gabbana's statements add to the stigma, shame, prejudice, rejection and intolerance often suffered by same-sex parents and their children. They should withdraw their statements and apologise."
Last month, fashion designers Dolce and Gabbana made insulting slurs against same-sex parents and their children. Domenico Dolce said children should be born to a mother and a father:
"The only family is a traditional one. I'm not convinced by those I call the chemical children, synthetic babies…They are wombs for hire, semen chosen from a catalogue … psychiatrists are not ready to confront the effects of this experimentation."
Stefano Gabbana added: "The family is not a fad." In 2006, he told the Daily Mail: "I am opposed to the idea of a child growing up with two gay parents."
Both designers have in the past strongly opposed same-sex marriage.
Many people came out in support of an international boycott of the D&G brand, including celebrities like Elton John, plus the Out and Proud Diamond Group and the Peter Tatchell Foundation.
Tatchell and Sesange say on their petition:
"These comments are not only an attack on same-sex parents but on all parents who've had children with the aid of fertility treatment, including thousands of heterosexual couples."
"Dolce and Gabbana are echoing ill-informed, outdated and homophobic prejudices about gay parents. Research spanning 40 years shows that children bought up by gay mums and dads are just as happy and well-adjusted as those from traditional heterosexual families. The key to a child's welfare is the love of their parents, not the parent's sexual orientation."
"This issue is not about same-sex families alone but also about the many straight families who have benefited from fertility treatment. Dolce and Gabbana's statements add to the stigma, shame, prejudice, rejection and intolerance often suffered by same-sex parents and their children."
"It's intolerable for these designers to make millions out of the gay community and then turn around and insult our families. They've stabbed us in the back."

Orange County supervisors have approved a seven-year plan to complete the 66-mile OC Bike Loop, a recreational bikeway and trail system that will allow continuous access along the Coyote Creek-San Gabriel River Trails, the Pacific Coast Highway Corridor, the Santa Ana River Trail and the Union Pacific Right of Way Corridor.
The $52.8 million earmarked for the OC Loop is part of Orange County Public Works' Seven Year Capital Improvement Program, which identifies priority projects for investing more than $545 million in transportation, flood control and bikeway improvements. Funding for the OC Loop will be provided by OC Public Works, OC Parks and various grant funds sought from the proceeds of a half-cent sales tax collected in Orange County for transportation projects.
"Requesting this level of future funding for the bikeway program is a first for Orange County and shows our commitment to completing this true countywide asset," said Board of Supervisors Chairwoman Lisa Bartlett, Fifth District.
"Orange County is such a beautiful place to live that we want to make it easier for people to get outside and enjoy the outdoors," said Vice Chair Michelle Steel, Second District.
"There are many great reasons that Orange County is bike-friendly and completing this loop will confirm that," said Supervisor Shawn Nelson, Fourth District, who has advocated for the OC Loop on the Board and as past chairman of the Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA).
The OC Loop connects 17 cities, 200 parks and 180 schools in Orange County, as well as beaches and shopping areas. The funding plan approved this week also will enhance access for cyclists and pedestrians along the County's 380 miles of flood-control facilities.
Providing additional safety for cyclists is important, said Supervisor Todd Spitzer, Third District. "The great thing about protected bike trails is that they allow people to travel throughout the county without having to worry about distracted drivers," he said.
The OC Loop is a joint project with OCTA, which is completing a feasibility study on the best ways to close the remaining gaps through a grant from the Southern California Association of Governments.
