The Wealth Of A Nation

Once upon a time, a rich kingdom took over a poor one. The money in the 15 million bank accounts of the poor kingdom was no good, so–poof!–the rich kingdom exchanged it for the Deutsche mark, a currency better than gold. The air in the poor kingdom was so fouled that it stung the eyes. So–abracadabra!–the rich kingdom started a big cleanup. The houses in the poor kingdom hadn’t been fixed up since the government seized everything 40 years ago, so–shazzam!...

The Weapons Of Killzone 3

Old standards like the M82 Assault Rifle and the LS13 Shotgun are returning to Killzone 3, providing both long range and close range combat options. Killzone 2’s weapons didn’t really have anything wrong with them in the first place, so Guerrilla Games saw fit to invest its development time in some heavy artillery. For anyone who has been following the development of Killzone 3, the mech suit and the jetpack’s inclusion should come as no surprise....

The Weather Not Transfer Targets Attracts Mourinho To Croatia V Ukraine

The Portuguese was a spectator in Zagreb on Friday as Croatia prevailed 1-0 in their World Cup qualifier. Mourinho’s visit prompted some to suggest he had used his break from United’s schedule to meet with representatives of Inter attacker Ivan Perisic, who did not feature against Ukraine due to suspension. But Mourinho insists the reason for his trip was pleasure, rather than business. “I have no hidden cause, I just came to enjoy my free days and visit some friends like Predrag Mijatovic and Davor Suker,” he told HNTV....

The Weeknd S Super Bowl Halftime Show Viral Clip Watched 25 Million Times

The Grammy-winning Canadian singer, whose real name is Abel Tesfaye, delivered a memorable show that featured fireworks and backup dancers with bandaged faces. He performed a medley of some of his most popular songs, from “The Hills” to “Blinding Lights.” But it was a brief moment involving some close camera work by the singer before he launched into his 2015 hit “Can’t Feel My Face” that went viral, with one three-second clip posted on Twitter amassing more than 25 million views by early Monday morning....

The Wiles Of The Old World

Europe’s competition authorities are keeping a careful eye on the U.S. case against Microsoft. Brussels will likely want any remedies imposed in America to be applied in its bailiwick, too. And meanwhile, it’s proceeding with its own, separate antitrust probe into Windows 2000. Yet as France’s Culture Ministry showed, Bill Gates doesn’t enjoy quite the clout in the Old World that he wields in the New. “In the U.S., it tends to be a foregone conclusion that you’re wedded to Windows,” says Matthew Nordan, senior analyst for Forrester Research in Amsterdam....

The Wisdom Of Unpaid Crowds

The Taiwan market is being closely watched because players will use points, not real money, testing whether a market’s accuracy is undercut by the absence of a profit motive to get predictions right. (Taiwan’s antigambling laws preclude using real money.) Although funny-money markets have worked in the past, their reliability is still in doubt, experts say. So far, the Center for Prediction Markets points to a victory by the China-friendly candidate Ma Ying-jeou....

The Witcher S Jaskier Wants Fans To See The Show S Blooper Reel

The Witcher focuses on Geralt of Rivia as he battles monsters for coin and overcomes the moral quandaries he faces on his journey. Much like the original books and the video-game adaptations, the web-series has been very successful and became one of the most-watched shows on Netflix in 2019.

A uniquely American experience? Well, not exactly. The scene is Toys “R” Us, Hong Kong, one of the newest landmarks on Toys “R” Us’s ever-expanding world map. Over the past few years, the New Jersey company has ventured where no other American retailer of its size has dared to go, replicating its winning formula from Singapore to Leipzig. This January, amid pomp, ceremony and a visit from President Bush, it opened its second Japanese store; by 1997, analysts say, it will have 406 international units producing sales of $4....

The World Of The Gulag

The explosive growth of that network of camps has been chronicled before, most memorably by former zeks, or prisoners, like Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, Evgeniya Ginzburg and Gustaw Herling-Grudzinski. Western scholars like Robert Conquest have also contributed a rich body of literature on the subject. But in the West, the Soviet camp system has never haunted the popular imagination like the Nazi version has. By writing a vivid, detailed history for a general audience, Applebaum has clearly set out to change what she sees as a fundamental misperception of many outsiders to this day: that the Soviet experience was a noble experiment gone awry rather than a system based on murder and destruction from day one....

The World That Knew Too Much Opinion

To truly understand the contours of the problem, consult a 2011 episode of the brilliant TV series Black Mirror, called “The Entire History of You.” It depicts a near future when brain implants can replay our memories for us as if they were videos. That sounds useful—until you realize that the device would naturally also be able to display them to others. Thus does our suspicious hero discover his wife’s infidelity when he insists that she replay certain memories for him....

The Wrong Woman To Pass Over

By her own account, Fisher is the unlikeliest of political crusaders. ““I’ve always been a scientist and just wanted to work in my lab and teach in the classroom,’’ she says. ““Ten years ago, I wouldn’t have dreamed of myself in this position. But my husband and I are both Quakers, and there reaches a point at which you can’t sit back and take it anymore.’’ That ““point’’ was many years in the making – an experience familiar to other women teachers who’ve had trouble making it in the hard sciences....

Theme Park Welcome To Dickens World
