How Btvs characters would spend Halloween with their s/o:

A/N: This is based on the assumption that the reader really enjoys Halloween 🖤🦇

Buffy summers:

Buffy really likes Halloween

Surprisingly

Often her one night off

But she loved it from being a kid

Having fond memories of trick or treating and then squabbling over candy with Dawn

Being allowed to stay up late to watch movies

When she told you her fond memories you were determined to create more fond memories for her on Halloween

Will absolutely love the idea of a couples costume

But won’t want you to tease her about it

Once you get the hints she’s dropping you would totally pick the cheesiest outfits to compliment each other

You spend all day making Halloween treats with Dawn and not allowing Buffy in the kitchen

And you share them with her before you go to a Scooby gathering/party

you dress up and Dawn hypes you both up (she loves you together)

the party is fun

you laugh along with your friends and even bob some apples

(Xander’s idea)

You rent a bunch of movies to watch for when you get in

you want to recreate something that feels like home for her

She cuddles up to you and kisses you softly thanking you silently

she really loves you and now she loves Halloween more

Xander Harris:

big Halloween fan

he really enjoys it

Won’t shut up about it as soon as October first hits

It’ll be infectious and he’ll love it if you’re as enthusiastic as him

Will have horror movies all lined up for the whole month

you’ll settle in, dim the lights and cuddle up

On the 31st he will have saved the best line up until last

Will want to spend as much time with you as possible

So movies will be his ideal

You’ll both for sure be dressing up even if you’re not going out in the evening

he’d do a couples costume but may actually prefer surprising each other with your respective costumes

Bonus points if you dress kinda sexy he won’t be able to keep his hands off you

Will have so many films lined up you’ll have to stay up basically all night to finish

He’ll have the classics and some more modern ones too to mix it up

He’ll know a whole bunch of facts about the filming too

You bring the snacks and just enjoy your night together

It’s perfect cos it’s the two of you

Willow Rosenberg:

Will be as enthusiastic as you

Will have planned out a costume way in advance

(one made not bought just in case and will insist to make yours too)

It’ll be all part of the

Lots of time for kissing and snuggles in between making the costumes

Plenty of time together through October

you make your costumes and finally they are perfected

the best part has been spending so much time with her though

Halloween night finally came and you spent the entire day eating candy and adding the finishing touches to the costume

you were both giddy with excitement

At the Halloween party you will be the coolest and most historically accurate

you enjoy yourselves, not caring what anyone else thinks of you or your costumes

you have each other, that’s the best part

you meet up with the Scoobies and have a great time

she’s so comfortable with you she can actually let loose

you leave really late, stumbling home together

Willow loves the way you bring her confidence out

you get home and curl up in bed together

you wished the day would never end, you had so much fun

Rupert Giles:

Enjoys the holiday

Didn’t celebrate so much in England

But has fully embraced Halloween since moving to Sunnydale

He’ll dress up, he used to wear the same costume every year but now switches it up a little

his favourite is the trusty wizard costume

He does prefer to stay at home but would go out if you asked

but you don’t, you’re content to just be with him

he has his nose in a book as you make Halloween treats

you entice him to join you

(promising it means he gets as many as he wants)

He came over and immediately helped with weighing everything

He’s actually a good cook so he could have taken over

but loves sharing the responsibility

you put some Halloween themed music on and dance around the kitchen

he adores seeing you so happy

makes him melt more than the caramel for the candy apples

you laugh together and just generally enjoy the time you share making sweet treats

he loves every moment

you decorate them and share them when they’re done

you ask him to tell you ghost stories

and he does. Although they’re all true and from his Ripper days

it makes it even more interesting (and he loves sharing his past with you)

Spike:

Loves it

everyone knows he (not so) secretly loves Halloween

will have stolen any and all candy left outside people’s homes

will split it with you if you ask nicely

may tease you and ask for his treat first

but will definitely share the candy cos he’s fond of you

may take some convincing to get him to leave the crypt after dark

but if you do, by some miracle, manage it

you will find him warming up to it

wont dress up himself but won’t mind that you do

might even teasingly offer to help get you into your costume

you go to some bar or the Bronze

had the impression that dressing up was some kind of insult

but figures eventually that you all must just think he (as a vampire) is very cool

makes him very full of himself

(more so than usual)

Won’t dress up at all but will mutter under his breath his thoughts and a primitive rating system on everyone else’s costume

this will make you laugh

a lot

he’ll enjoy making you laugh and continue until someone overhears and it gets him in trouble

You’ll end up being kicked out of the bar but neither of you will mind

Halloween is so much better when you were together

Angel:

Angel doesn’t like Halloween so much

But when he sees your love of the holiday he will change his tune

Instantly

he just likes to see you happy

it’s not selfless really, to see you happy gives him so much joy

so he sets off on his October-long mission

Will find every Halloween themed activity you can attend

Sunnydale unsurprisingly has a lot to offer

Haunted houses, pumpkin carving, the works

You name it he’s looked into it

by the time the week of Halloween arrives, you’ve done everything on offer

you tell him one evening that you want to go ghost hunting

he looks at you and frowns

it sounds dangerous

and he would rather you didn’t die (especially not on Halloween)

but you manage to convince him to go ghost hunting

on Halloween

You said it was your Halloween wish. only for you would he do this.

you go to a graveyard and look around with a torch

you were one step away from dressing as a ghost buster

but decided it would probably be disrespectful

You turned and there was a ghost! A real one

you slipped your hand into Angel’s as you communicated with the ghost

Angel planned this. He knew as soon as you saw one you would want to leave and do normal Halloween stuff again

would admit to it eventually, but the most important thing was your face when you met a real (and friendly) ghost

Anya Jenkins:

Anya loves it. She loves making money

She loves dressing up. And she loves you

A winning combination. She also loves learning about everything

Does try her best to get used to being human (and doesn’t get enough credit)

You and Anya will spend the entire day in the Halloween department of the store

Not kidding, you get there early and are there well into the afternoon

You can’t decide what to buy

there’s so much candy so little time

and the decorations! You squabble over what’s worth buying

eventually you manage to convince her you need everything you’ve chosen no matter the cost

she smiles at some of the items and shrugs

she’s new to Halloween, she finds it very cute though

not at all scary

when everything’s decorated and candy is left out, you can relax

(she will have definitely checked on the Magic box while you were in town to make sure it’s going okay)

she can stomach the worst, most gruesome horror movies without so much as batting an eyelid

She’s seen and done worse. will protect you if you struggle to watch

Tara Maclay:

Tara used to get a bit weird around the holiday

You found out later it was because she thought she was a demon

And just decided to sit Halloween out

You had always missed her and offered to stay in but she wanted you to go out and have a good time

Finally this year you knew everything about her past

And so did she

Surprise: she’s no demon

So you make sure she has the best Halloween ever

Cos she’s missed out on so much

you start with pumpkin carving

a staple

you plan out your designs and spend time perfecting them

they look super cute lit up later that night

she smiles a lot

its the first time in a while she’s just done fun things for Halloween

without something in the back of her head telling her she’s wrong

you decorate the dorm you share and play spooky music

You watch Halloween specials and family friendly movies through the entire afternoon

you dress up and hand out a whole bunch of candy

she really likes it, finding herself able to relax

the Scoobies come over and you have a little party

nothing too outrageous just you all hanging out

some of you are in costume, some not

but you have a really great time

and Tara has plenty of plans for celebrating next year

Oz:

Oz doesn’t hate halloween

He isn’t enthusiastic either

Kinda hard to pinpoint his feelings on the occasion

Either way? He’s a sucker for you

he’s usually booked at some gig for Halloween

But this year, he tells the guys he isn’t doing it

knows how much you love the spooky day

so he’s going to spend it solely with you

took him ages to figure out what to do

he will help you decorate

eventually says he needs to go out to the store

when he was out he found a lot of Halloween goodies for you

Decided to use the Halloween themed treats and decided to hide them around the (well decorated) home

its like a little treasure trail. You get clues and you get a treat and another clue until the end

he loves to buy gifts for a s/o and Halloween is no exception

you love Halloween and he loves you so he wanted to make it special

you will come to the end of the trail and gush about how much you love it

he’ll shrug but that smile’s there

he’s pleased

as the night draws in you cuddle up and every time the door goes you insist you both go

so you can see the cool outfits and hand out candy together

Drusilla:

wouldn’t celebrate Halloween unless you wanted to

Might not be aware of how big the holiday is

Would humour you if you wanted to celebrate though

Might find it cute the way you love it

Would want you happy so would make sure there were Halloween decorations everywhere in whichever lair you were in

Decorations would stay up all year round

It kinda blends with the rest of the place

If you’re really into Halloween would hold a ball/party in your honour on the 31st

She would be very proud of it

Would invite every demon she knew but most probably wouldn’t show

demons don’t party. Not on Halloween

Even if it was just both of you attending the party, she would dance with you slowly in the middle of the room

Even with no music

Will pepper your face in such loving kisses

May offer to sire you as she knows you love the date so much

But is happy to wait if you refuse

you are her favourite so Halloween is her favourite of it’s yours

you show her the cuter side of Halloween

Will hum to you softly

maybe a tune like the Addam’s family but will hum it very seriously

Faith:

Faith always thought Halloween was lame

until she met you

she likes to pretend she doesn’t care

and she’s too cool for all that stuff

but melts into a puddle when she sees your enthusiasm for the holiday

Will basically do anything you ask so long as she gets to see you happy

But what you really want is her and you tell her this

you make a plan to go for a ‘spooky walk’ before coming back to get cosy and watch Halloween tv

on your walk, you point out all of the spooky decorations and lights

she thinks its cute but won’t admit it

you end up dusting a few vamps that didn’t get the memo

but you convince her it was perfect, very Halloween-y so she doesn’t get so mad at them for interrupting your evening after that

She will stop and kiss you every few streets

loves stolen kisses, especially like this

you enjoy looking at the cool costumes but eventually walk back home

her favourite part of the night, however was when you turned the motel room you now shared into a cosy fort

blankets everywhere and candles

very romantic and to you it had the right amount of spooky too

You hide under the blankets and start to tell outrageous ghost stories into the night

she held you close and insisted it was now her favourite holiday

Cordelia chase:

Cordy loves Halloween

Especially the excuse to dress up however she wants

Would 100% want to dress you up

Wouldn’t ask, would tell you it’s happening

And you ofc would agree

(Or else)

She’s a sweetheart really and wants a lot of input on what you’re comfortable wearing

Will use her dads credit card to buy anything she thinks you’ll need

You will probably be wearing something worth more than your entire wardrobe for the night

She will dress you up, maybe do your spooky makeup if you’re into that

She would make sure to get you both invites to the coolest party going

I’m talking the coolest

anyone who’s anyone is going

Will walk you in as if you’re both on the red carpet

Will not let anyone compliment one of you without demanding they compliment the other

You will have the best time

Dancing and laughing the entire night

Riley:

Probably wouldn’t enjoy Halloween so much

He sees enough demons on a normal week day

Might want a night off but won’t be too into going out

But If he sees you all excited he’ll start to change his mind

Slowly

He’ll do some activities if you ask and smile as he watches your enthusiasm

When he sees you dressed up he may rethink

Wants you to have a good time so he asks what you wanna do

your choice all day

you wanna go and make dumb decorations? He’ll get the craft glue

you wanna eat your weight in candy? He’s down to share

will take you to a party if you ask

(and maybe even join in with any activities on offer if he’s in a good mood)

will enjoy himself, especially with you on his arm

but you will leave early

He will make an excuse to go home with you

weirdly his job hasn’t called him in tonight

maybe the demons have time off or something?

Weird

you go back to his place and are able to spend a whole uninterrupted night together

you have Halloween themed movies on in the background but mostly you’re spending it together in bed

Announcing Winners WGA Awards 2019: ‘Can You Ever Forgive Me?,’ ‘Eighth Grade’

In a pair of upsets, “Can You Ever Forgive Me?” has won the Writers Guild of America’s adapted screenplay award for Nicole Holofcener and Jeff Whitty and Bo Burnham has won the original screenplay award for “Eighth Grade.”

The major television trophies went to “The Americans,” “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel,” “Homeland” and “Barry” for the 71st Writers Guild Awards, held at dual ceremonies at the Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills, Calif., and the Edison Ballroom in New York City. It was the last major awards show before the Feb. 24 Academy Awards.

“Can You Ever Forgive Me?,” based on the memoir of the late Lee Israel, topped the screenplays for “Black Panther,” “If Beale Street Could Talk” “A Star Is Born”; and “BlacKkKlansman.” Though the script for the comedy-drama — the story of how Israel discovered her talent for forgery — has received an Oscar nomination, “Beale Street” and “BlacKkKlansman” were regarded as the front-runners. It appears that the tale of the travails and redemption of a professional writer clearly resonated with Hollywood writers.

“I want to thank Lee,” Holofcener said in her acceptance. “She’d probably be sitting in the room judging all of us. She though she was the smartest person in the room and she probably was.”

A stunned Burnham credited star Elsie Fisher for his winning the WGA award. Burnham won over Alfonso Cuaron’s “Roma”; Adam McKay’s “Vice”; Bryan Woods, Scott Beck, and John Krasinski’s “A Quiet Place”; and Peter Farrelly, Nick Vallelonga, and Brian Currie’s “Green Book.” “Roma,” “Vice” and “Green Book” are all nominated for Academy Awards along with “The Favourite” and “First Reformed” while “Eight Grade” did not receive an Oscar nod.

“Eighth Grade,” which stars Fisher as an awkward teen dealing with the final week of eighth grade, also won the first-time Directors Guild of America Award for Burnham on Feb. 2. The film is also up for four Spirit Awards on Feb. 23.

“To the other nominees in the category — Have fun at the Oscars, losers!” Burnham joked in his acceptance. “No, I prepared nothing. This all belongs to Elsie Fisher who performed the script. No one would care about the script if she hadn’t done it.”

“Eighth Grade” is the first film to win the WGA Original Screenplay award without being nominated for an Academy since Michael Moore’s “Bowling for Columbine” in 2003.

“The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel” won the comedy series award for Kate Fodor, Noah Gardenswartz, Jen Kirkman, Sheila Lawrence, Daniel Palladino and Amy Sherman Palladino. Starring Rachel Brosnahan, “Mrs. Maisel” won the Emmy for best comedy series last year.

The final season of “The Americans” took the drama series award for Peter Ackerman, Hilary Bettis, Joshua Brand, Joel Fields, Sarah Nolen, Stephen Schiff, Justin Weinberger, Joe Weisberg and Tracey Scott Wilson.

Bill Hader and Alec Berg won the episodic comedy award for the opening segment of HBO’s “Barry,” “Chapter One: Make Your Mark” (“Barry”). They also won the new series award.

Stephanie Gillis won the animated award for the “Bart’s Not Dead” episode of “The Simpsons” — which was just renewed for its 31st and 32nd seasons by Fox — and showrunner Alex Gansa took the episodic drama award for the “Paean To The People” segment of “Homeland.” “Bathtubs Over Broadway” took the documentary award and “God of War” won the videogame trophy.

Hulu’s “Castle Rock” won the long-form original award and “The Assassination of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story” took the adapted long-form trophy. “Last Week Tonight with John Oliver” won the comedy-variety series cagtegory.

Chelsea Peretti hosted the West Coast ceremonies while Roy Wood Jr. was the emcee in New York. “All the glitz and glamor of the Oscars without the pressure of public interest,” Peretti said in her intro.

Jordan Peele’s horror-comedy “Get Out” won the WGA Award for original screenplay and James Ivory’s coming-of-age drama “Call Me by Your Name” won for adapted screenplay last year. Both went on to win the Oscar.

The WGA awards are mixed indicator of Oscar sentiment. Six of the last 10 WGA winners have gone on to win Academy awards over the past five years. The awards are decided in voting by the 17,000 members of the WGA.

The West Coast ceremonies included plenty of political commentary. Adam McKay, on receiving the WGA’s Paul Selvin Award for “Vice,” asked for a “beat of silence” for the million people who died during the invasion of Iraq.

Jenji Kohan, recipient of the Paddy Chayefsky Award, was unable to attend due to having to shoot the final episode of “Orange Is the New Black.” She said in a taped message: “I’ve been incredibly lucky to work with enormously funny and kind people. I love the people I work with. Life is too short to work with a******s, by the way. That’s my Public Service Announcement.”

Figure Skating History, Rules and How to Play Figure Skating Game?

Figure skating, sport in which ice skaters, singly or in pairs, perform freestyle movements of jumps, spins, lifts, and footwork in a graceful manner. Its title derives from the patterns (or figures) skaters make on the ice, an element that was a major part of the game until recently. There are various kinds of figure skating, including freestyle, pairs, ice dance, and synchronized team skating. The fashion of competition, in addition to the moves and techniques of the skaters, varies for each kind of skating. Figure skating has grown into among the most well-known sports of the Winter Olympics.

Figure Skating history

Pioneers of the game

A Treatise on Skating (1772) by Robert Jones, an Englishman, is apparently the very first consideration of figure skating game. The game had a cramped and formal style until American Jackson Haines introduced his free and expressive techniques based on dancing motion in the mid-1860s. Though popular in Europe, Haines's design (known as the International style) did not catch on in the USA until long after he had died at age 35.

In the early 20th century, Americans Irving Brokaw and George H. Browne helped formalize the design made by Haines by demonstrating to American audiences. Brokaw, the first American to represent the country at international competitions, engaged in the 1908 Olympics, where he finished sixth. Browne, who organized the first U.S. championships in 1914 for men, girls, and pairs, wrote two major books on skating and has been involved in the institution of a national skating business.

Canadian Louis Rubenstein, a former student of Jackson Haines, was also instrumental in the development of figure skating. He led the effort to formalize contests and evaluations by establishing governing bodies for ice hockey in the United States and Canada. He helped organize the Amateur Skating Association of Canada (now called Skate Canada) and the National Amateur Skating Association of the United States. The latter organization as well as the International Skating Union of America (founded in 1914), that had Canadian and American members, were the predecessors of the United States Figure Skating Association (USFSA), founded in 1921. Launched with just seven skating clubs across the nation, by the 21st century it oversaw over 400 clubs with some 100,000 members.

The International Skating Union (ISU), founded in the Netherlands in 1892, was created to oversee skating globally. It sanctions speed skating in addition to figure skating and patrons the world championships held yearly since 1896. With more than 50 member countries, the ISU establishes rules regarding the behavior of skating and skating contests.

Also notable for their important contributions to the game of figure skating are Axel Paulsen, Ulrich Salchow, and Alois Lutz. Each man produced a leap that is currently named after him. Paulsen, a Norwegian both expert in speed and figure skating, introduced his leap in Vienna in 1882 at what's generally regarded as the first international championship. Salchow of Sweden first performed his trademark jump (the"salchow") in competition in 1909. In London in 1908 he won the first Olympic gold medal awarded for figure skating. Lutz, an Austrian, devised his jump (the"lutz") in 1913.

Though the English diarist Samuel Pepys claimed to have danced on the ice during London's hard winter of 1662, modern ice dancing most likely created from the Vienna Skating Club's version of the waltz from the 1880s. The game grew quickly in popularity during and after the 1930s. Although the first U.S. national championship for ice dance was held in 1914, it did not become an Olympic sport until 1976.

20th-century winners

Figure skating now contains more female than male participants, but that hasn't always been the situation. In the first world championships, held in St. Petersburg in 1896, just a men's event was skated. Pairs were not introduced before 1908 and ice dance not till 1952. Because the rules didn't define the gender of participants, Syers entered the world championships held in London, and she finished second just to Salchow, who provided her his gold medal because he believed she should have won the event. The next year the ISU rules were altered to define that women could not enter the event, but another women's group, that Syers won for its first two years, was finally created three years after.

Twenty-one decades after Sonja Henie emerged as the first important female hockey star. Winning her first world title at the age of 14, she was the youngest winner until Tara Lipinski won the entire tournament in 1997 at an age two weeks younger than Henie. Lipinski also dethroned Henie as the youngest female Olympic champion by winning the gold medal in 1998 when she was 15. Canadian Barbara Ann Scott, the first non-European to win a championship, became an expert skater, as did Henie and Lipinski, after she won an Olympic gold medal in 1948.

Dick Button was the first great American male star of the 20th century. Button also finished a double axel in the 1948 Winter Olympics in St. Moritz, Switzerland, the first skater to land such a jump in competition. While Button's success paved the way for the development of more multirevolution jumps in figure skating, other man skaters developed different elements of the sport. Karl Schäfer, for instance, introduced new elements into rotation by creating a"blur spin," or scrape spin, where the skater immediately spins on one foot at an upright position.

The U.S. figure skating game community has been devastated in 1961 by a plane crash which killed the total U.S. team. The group was on its way to Prague to the world championships once the airplane crashed on approach to Brussels. The championships were canceled. Fleming followed in the footsteps of these great American Olympic champions as Tenley Albright (1956) and Carol Heiss (1960). Janet Lynn, an Olympic bronze medalist in 1972 in Sapporo, Japan, and Dorothy Hamill, an Olympic gold medalist in 1976 at Innsbruck, Austria, were part of the ascension of women's skating in the United States. New coaches who went into the United States included Carlo Fassi, an Italian singles champion in the 1940s and'50s. He coached Americans Fleming and Hamill in Addition to British Olympic champions John Curry and Robin Cousins.

American Scott Hamilton (see Sidebar: Scott Hamilton: Training for Olympic Gold) won four world championships (1981--84) in addition to an Olympic gold medal in 1984. Before, American brothers Hayes and David Jenkins had won consecutive Olympic gold medals at the 1956 and 1960 Games.

Even though the United States continued to produce singles champions, the Soviet Union was the master of pairs. French pairs skaters Andrée and Pierre Brunet won Olympic gold medals in both 1928 and 1932, but the dominance of the Soviet Union became apparent in the 1960s and lasted to the 21st century. This dominance continued into the 1980s when Yelena Valova and Oleg Vassilyev won the gold in 1984 (Sarajevo). The 2002 Olympic gold medal was shared with two pairs due to a judging controversy--Yelena Berezhnaya and Anton Sikharulidze of Russia and Jamie Salé and David Pelletier of Canada.

Ice dance was introduced as an Olympic event in 1976, and Soviet teams dominated the sport.

Theories vary on the Reason Behind the dominance of the former Soviet Union. 1 school of thought says the cultural and political forces from the country emphasized group achievements over individual achievement. The cultural emphasis on dancing and ballet may also have been a factor, as well as the inclination of pairs and dance clubs to stay together, because athletes were rewarded under the Soviet regime. What's more, the top singles coaches resided not in Russia but also in western Europe and the USA. With the breakup of the Soviet Union in 1991, however, lots of Russian trainers and their skaters moved into the United States to benefit from its exceptional training centers. American and european currencies and dance teams profited from Russian instruction, and the difference between Russia and the rest of the world started to close. At the exact same time, the Russians began to produce better singles skaters, partially because of access to American centers and coaching and partially because they employed different training techniques, which set them apart.

Recent trends and changes

During the Cold War (1947--89), judges tended to vote at East-West blocs, a clinic that influenced the outcomes of some close competitions. Even the Soviet Union, East Germany, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, and Austria often voted as a unit, while the United States of America, Canada, Japan, Great Britain, and Italy frequently showed support for athletes in their own countries. However, not all of the judging that has been alleged to have been politically motivated was always so; some preferences were merely a matter of preference. For example, judges in the eastern bloc countries have long displayed a taste for classical music along with balletic choreography over music and dance that comprised more pop-cultural themes. Though this scenario has moderated since the early 1990s, some votes along cultural and political lines proceeds.

The development of increasingly difficult jumps continues to be a hallmark of the sport. Triple jumps, by way of example, became significant for women and men from the 1980s, and quadruple jumps became increasingly more important for men in the 1990s. The triple axel, the most difficult triple jump, was initially landed in contest by Canadian Vern Taylor at the 1978 World Championships in Ottawa. Eleven years later, at the world championships in Paris, Midori Ito of Japan became the first woman to complete the jump. Canadian Kurt Browning, the first person to complete a quadruple leap, landed a quad toe loop at the 1988 World Championships in Budapest. Elvis Stojko, plus a Canadian, holds two records with respect to the quad; he was the first to land a quad in combination with a double toe loop (in the 1991 World Championships in Munich) and using a triple toe loop (at the 1997 Champions Series final in Munich). Timothy Goebel, an American, finished the initial quad salchow in 1998 at the Junior Grand Prix finals. He also was the first to land three quads in one program, two quad salchows and one quad toe loop in the 2001 U.S. Figure Skating Championships in Boston.

The 1990s were a tumultuous decade for figure skating. The elimination of mandatory figures from competition in 1991 gave an advantage to the athletic freestyle skaters. Until the late 1980s, skaters who had been good at figures could win competitions with no strong freestyle-skating techniques, because compulsory figures were the most significant part the sport. They constituted 60 percent of their total score in national and global championships held at the 1960s but was reduced to 50 percent by 1968. The brief program was introduced in 1973, and at that time figures were decreased to 40% of their score. On the next 17 decades, the ISU continued to reduce the burden of figures before they were eliminated completely from international competitions following the 1990 World Championships in Halifax, Nova Scotia. Proponents of figures stated they developed fine edge control, balance, and footwork, while critics believed them dull and dull, compared with all the athleticism and attractiveness of freestyle skating.

Another fiddle gone occurred in the 1990s gone the rules dividing professionals and amateurs. Since along with the ISU has allowed amateurs, even at the demean levels of novice and junior, to earn keep from endorsements and in ISU-sanctioned behavior. The ISU created an additional system of eligibility: skaters who were eligible for ISU-sanctioned comings and goings, including worlds and the Olympics, and those who were not (ineligible). Ineligible skaters, buoyed by high television ratings, entered professional competitions taking into account prize child support and starred in their own professional ice shows.

Television became utterly significant for skating. Nowhere was that more evident than in 1994 behind skater Nancy Kerrigan was clubbed upon the kneecap by an spacious-minded of Kerrigans competitor Tonya Harding at the U.S. nationals in Detroit. International merger in the issue translated into high television ratings at the 1994 Winter Olympics in Lillehammer, Norway. The womens unexpected program was watched by millions of listeners as Harding competed adjacent-door to Kerrigan, the eventual Olympic silver-medal winner.

As figure skating entered the 21st century, the level of athleticism continued to rise, bearing in mind more men performing arts quad jumps in both the quick and long programs. Increasingly, the world-level womens champions were usual to have triple-triple hop combinations (two consecutive triple jumps) in their long programs. However, the summit skaters achieved execution unaccompanied by combining hard jumps taking into account artistic and elegant skating.

Some agreement to that, following the growing emphasis upon jumps, pleasing skating is declining. Compulsory figures provided excellent training in edge do its stuff and put in, and the agonized of figures made it cutting edge for skaters to confrontation occurring speedily through the levels of skating. Today, totally few skaters practice figures; a typical eligible skater can make public awkward compared as well as the best ineligible performers, even while he or she may have fused jumping skills.

Although there have always been teenager competitors, the believe to be changes encouraged younger females to concern taking place the ranks faster, since tiny girls can achieve triples unexpectedly, thanks to their narrow hips and lightweight bodies. Lipinski, the youngest ever to win an Olympic gold medal, was by yourself the start of this trend, which 16-year-pass American Sarah Hughes continued by winning the Olympic gold medal at the 2002 Winter Games in Salt Lake City. Although American Michelle Kwan moved happening to the senior level at age 12, she did not win her first world championship until 1996, considering she was 16. Older skaters such as Kwan and Maria Butyrskaya (who at age 27 won a gold medal at the 1999 World Championships in Helsinki) now compete adjoining younger skaters because the immense equalizer, compulsory figures, is amid. Wider hips and heavier bodies are harder to rule in the flavor, but what the older women may nonappearance in athleticism they can often make going on in elegance and overall skating and competitive experience.

New Post has been published on Otaku Dome | The Latest News In Anime, Manga, Gaming, And More

New Post has been published on http://otakudome.com/comrade-detective-niko-and-the-sword-of-light-dated/

Comrade Detective & Niko and the Sword of Light Dated

Amazon has dated exclusive Comrade Detective:

SEATTLE–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Jun. 29, 2017– (NASDAQ: AMZN)–Amazon Studios today announced Comrade Detective, a new half-hour live action series that will premiere August 4 exclusively on Amazon Prime Video in the US, UK, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. A co-production with A24, Comrade Detective comes from creators and executive producers Brian Gatewood (The Sitter) and Alex Tanaka (The Sitter) with Rhys Thomas (Documentary Now!) directing and executive producing. Free Association’s Tatum, Reid Carolin (Logan Lucky), Peter Kiernan (Mad Love) and Andrew Schneider are executive producers along with A24’s Ravi Nandan (The Carmichael Show) and John Hodges (Safety Not Guaranteed).

Comrade Detective is a one-of-a-kind cop show and comedy set in 1980’s Romania. True to its nostalgic inspiration, the series is presented in Romanian and dubbed in English–as a Romanian show of that time would have been. Channing Tatum (Logan Lucky) and Joseph Gordon-Levitt (Looper) provide voice over dubbing performances for the series’ two leading roles, Detectives Gregor Anghel and Iosef Baciu–both characters played on screen by leading Romanian actors, Florin Piersic Jr. (Killing Time) and Corneliu Ulici (The Devil Inside).

In addition to Tatum and Gordon-Levitt, the illustrious roster of talent dubbing other roles includes Jenny Slate (Obvious Child), Chloë Sevigny (Bloodline), Jake Johnson (New Girl), Jason Mantzoukas (The House), Nick Offerman (Parks and Recreation), Fred Armisen (Documentary Now!), Kim Basinger (LA Confidential), Mahershala Ali (Moonlight), Tracey Letts(The Lovers), Bobby Cannavale (Boardwalk Empire), Richard Jenkins (The Visitor), Debra Winger (The Lovers), Mark Duplass (Safety Not Guaranteed), Katie Aselton Duplass(Legion), Jerrod Carmichael (The Carmichael Show), Bo Burnham (The Big Sick) and John Early (Search Party).

“In a world of global television it was inevitable that the best comedy of the year would come from Romania. Well that day has come,” said Joe Lewis, Head of Comedy, Drama and VR at Amazon Studios. “Comrade Detective is unbelievably compelling, visually brilliant, and Gregor and Iosef are the heroes we need. Thanks to A24, Channing Tatum, Rhys Thomas, Brian Gatewood, Alex Tanaka, as well as the incredibly creative team behind this wild new series.”

“As passionate fans of cinema and television, we have long heard about this genre defining show and are thrilled to work with Free Association and Amazon to bring it to audiences,” said A24.

About Comrade Detective

In the thick of 1980’s Cold War hysteria, the Romanian government created the country’s most popular and longest-running series, Comrade Detective, a sleek and gritty police show that not only entertained its citizens but also promoted Communist ideals and inspired a deep nationalism. The action-packed and blood-soaked first season finds Detectives Gregor Anghel (played by Piersic) and Iosef Baciu (played by Ulici) investigating the murder of fellow officer Nikita Ionesco and, in the process, unraveling a subversive plot to destroy their country that is fueled by–what else–but the greatest enemy: Capitalism. Though the beloved show was sadly forgotten about after the fall of the Berlin Wall, it has been rediscovered and digitally remastered now with its main heroes voiced by Tatum and Gordon-Levitt. Comrade Detective is a true portal into a time and place and a powerful reminder of what art can be–and it is now ready to be seen by the modern world on a larger scale than ever before.

Amazon today announced its original animated series for kids ages 6-11, Niko and the Sword of Light, is scheduled to premiere on July 21 on Prime Video. The new fantasy adventure series–the first Amazon Original to win an Emmy Award for the pilot before the series launch-features the voice talent of Tom Kenny (SpongeBob SquarePants), Andre Robinson (Doc McStuffins), Steve Blum (Star Wars: Rebels), Kevin Michael Richardson (The Penguins of Madagascar), Jim Cummings (Shrek), and Kari Wahlgren (Kung Fu Panda: Legends of Awesomeness). The pilot is now available to stream exclusively for Prime members via the Amazon Prime Video app for TVs; connected devices, including Fire TV, mobile devices; and online–Prime members can also download the pilot to mobile devices for offline viewing at no additional cost to their membership.

“We’re excited for kids and families to enter into Niko’s unique, rich world and meaningfully connect with the series characters as they tag along on epic adventures together,” said Tara Sorensen, Head of Kids Programming at Amazon Studios. “The series pilot was extremely popular among viewers, who were won over by the show’s quirky engaging storylines and humor, and we can’t wait to present them with many more exhilarating escapades in Season 1.”

Niko and the Sword of Light follows 10-year-old Niko, the last of his kind in a strange, fantastical world, as he embarks on an epic quest to defeat the darkness and bring the light back to his land. Armed with his magic sword, brave Niko journeys to the Cursed Volcano, making new friends and powerful foes along the way, all while uncovering secrets about his mysterious past. Based on the motion graphic comic by Imaginism Studios, Inc., the studio behind character and concept designs for Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland and Men in Black 3, and Studio NX (The Carrot and Rabbit Show, Tree Fu Tom), Niko and the Sword of Light is animated by Titmouse (Motorcity, Metalocalpyse, Turbo FAST, Randy Cunningham: 9th Grade Ninja) and executive produced by Rob Hoegee (Generator Rex, League of Super Evil, Storm Hawks, Teen Titans) who also serves as showrunner.

80% off #Java Persistence: Hibernate and JPA Fundamentals – $10

A simple-to-follow and easy-to-understand training course on Java Persistence with JPA by Example

All Levels, – Video: 5.5 hours Other: 19 mins, 64 lectures

Average rating 4.5/5 (4.5)

Course requirements:

Basic understanding of Java Prior exposure to SQL can be helpful, but its not a pre-requisite for the course

Course description:

If you’re a Java programmer who wants to learn the fundamentals and some of the advanced topics of Java persistence with Hibernate, then you’re the one this course is designed for.

We’ll be working with Hibernate 4.3.5.Final (and applicable updates for Hibernate 5.0), and using Hibernate as a JPA provider for the most part of this course. You’ll be learning the fundamentals and some of the advanced JPA features for object/relational mapping, querying, caching, performance and concurrency.

Everything important that you’re going to experience when you’re persisting Java objects with Hibernate is covered during the lectures itself, with the help of animations and stepping through the code. It will allow you to focus more on the concept and the events happening at runtime at the very same time when you’re learning a concept, rather than waiting for me go through lengths of coding first before I could show you the same result. And then you practice the same concept with all the source code provided to you after each session that has a lab exercise.

Having said that, I will be first taking you to the level where you feel comfortable enough to start programming with Hibernate. We’ll be starting everything from scratch, do the required installations, set up the development environment and learn how to configure logging, for you to be able to see and understand the events taking place at runtime. We’ll also learn how to step through our code at runtime, for you to be able to see the behind-the-scene story of Java persistence with Hibernate. And only after that I’ll ask you to start coding yourself. So don’t you worry even if you know absolutely nothing about persisting Java objects with Hibernate.

If you’re asking that what does persisting objects really mean? Don’t you worry, we’re going to cover even that. So, all you need to learn, enjoy and have a good experience with this course is the basic understanding of Java. That’s it, I promise.

So, whether you’re a beginner or already have some experience with Hibernate, we’re going to cover all the grounds for you to be a confident and competent Hibernate programmer by the end of this course.

Everything we’re going to learn in this course, we’ll be doing it with examples. And we’ll also be discussing the best practices to keep in mind when you’re working on real world projects.

And if you’re already good at Hibernate and JPA, you’ll probably find this course to be useful for filling the gaps in your Hibernate and JPA knowledge.

Please drop me a message, in case you need me for anything to get the best out of this course for you.

And I might add more lectures to this course to make this course even better for you. So I’ll appreciate your feedback, on how to improve this course for you.

And yes, to get the best out of this course, especially if you’re a beginner, please don’t jump through the lectures and complete the Lab Exercise of the previous lecture, before moving on to the next one.

And all the video lectures/sessions are in 16:9 HD, so please watch them in HD.

Full details By the end of this course, you’ll be having a strong foundation on Java persistence with Hibernate You’ll learn the fundamentals and some of the advanced JPA features for object/relational mapping, querying, caching and performance You’ll learn how to use Hibernat as a JPA provider You’ll get a working experience on Hibernate and JPA project You’ll get a working experience on Eclipse IDE, MySQL and HeidiSQL You’ll be introduced to JBOSS Logging with Log4j You’ll be introduced to Apache Commons Lang You’ll learn some of the best practices of Hibernate
