Presidential polities has, at times, an eerie rhythm. In the first week of October 1980, another desperate incumbent decided to lash out at his opponent and found, according to NEWSWEEK, that “the politics of insult, and the inflamed media reaction to it, had in fact [hurt] him more than the enemy.” The Washington Post said Jimmy Carter had gone “haywire.” Herblock portrayed him as slinging mud in a gutter. His opponent noted, in sorrow, that the president was “nearing the point of hysteria....

But he says he quickly realized that if he wanted to be successful in business–regardless of the area he chose–he needed to bone up on his tech skills....

Abdallah Chatila, who runs a multimillion-dollar diamond business in Geneva, Switzerland, is reported to have spent more than €500,000 ($550,000) on the items at an auction in Munich, Germany. The lot included a top hat worn by Hitler, as well as a cigar box, typewriter, and a silver-plated copy of his book Mein Kampf, reports Le Matin Dimanche. “Far-right populism and anti-Semitism are spreading all over Europe and the world, I did not want these objects to fall into the wrong hands and to be used by people with dishonest intentions”, Chatila told the Swiss newspaper....

The second man to walk on the lunar surface had to go into quarantine for 21 days—alongside his Apollo 11 crew mates Neil Armstrong and Michael Collins—after coming back from the moon in 1969. This was to prevent the astronauts from spreading any potential pathogens that they may have picked up during their moon mission—a possibility that was considered remote, at the time, although NASA took the necessary precautions anyway....

Favre inherited a young team, led ably by a veteran of the club who’s Dortmund through and through, Marco Reus. The youngsters around him have breathed life into the attack at the Westfalenstadion (formally known as Signal Iduna Park), and Reus seems like he’s reverted to the superb talent who ran riot under the tutelage of Jurgen Klopp. Having previously managed in the Bundesliga, the Swiss manager had a stint at Nice in France which saw them become a solid side capable of scoring a lot of goals and playing dynamic football....

When Bungie initially announced its collaboration with NetEase, the developer stated that it aimed to “become an entertainment company that sustains many worlds simultaneously", with plans including the further growth of Destiny and “new worlds to come”. As indicated by the “Matter” art and logo further above, it definitely doesn’t appear to be a design that’s congruent with any of Bungie’s extant IPs, so there’s a good chance the trademark filing with the EU is in preparation for an official announcement of the studio’s new game....

Bungie resolved the issue within a couple of days of it being made apparent, announcing that it had nothing to do with it, and that there was a rogue element at play. That rogue element has since come to light with the announcement that these takedowns originated from Nicholas Minor, the owner of the Lord Nazo YouTube channel, who is now being sued for his actions against other Destiny content creators....

The premise of Destiny is admirable, but there are still a number of enquiries that fans have regarding the new title. Fortunately a few questions may have been addressed in a recent interview between Bungie design director Joe Staten and IGN, in which Staten elaborated on a handful of the story-related co-op mechanics that’ll be present in the game. Co-operative play will have a huge role in Destiny, and player options will also be in abundance regardless of whether or not users trek through the world solo or with a friend....
