The Fellowship of the Ring - J. R. R. Tolkien

(The Lord of the Rings #1)

One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them, One Ring to bring them all and in the darkeness bind them. In ancient times the Rings of Power were crafted by the Elven-smiths, and Sauron, The Dark Lord, forged the One Ring, filling it with his own power so that he could rule all others. But the One Ring was taken from him, and though he sought it throughout Middle-earth, it remained lost to him. After many ages it fell into the hands of Bilbo Baggins, as told in The Hobbit. In a sleepy village in the Shire, young Frodo Baggins finds himself faced with an immense task, as his elderly cousin Bilbo entrusts the Ring to his care. Frodo must leave his home and make a perilous journey across Middle-earth to the Cracks of Doom, there to destroy the Ring and foil the Dark Lord in his evil purpose.

fine morning F67 ½° at 6 ¾ - breakfast with my father at 8 – out at 8 40 – went to Pickersgills’ – there some time – then to Wellroyde road – Washington soon came and Pickels to whom he let the new footpath thro’ Wellroyde wood and brow to make – they just came up as Mr. George Robinsons’ man had very foolishly thrown the cart and we had near had the shaft mare tumbling over into the wood – Wilkinson (Joseph) told Washington the people only wanted to get some money from me by making all this threatening about the bridle road – from about 11 to near 3 in my walk – treading grass from about the young trees – then ate gooseberries and strawberries in the garden - Kind letter from Mrs Norcliffe (Langton) 2 ½ pages giving me an account of IN-, CN-, and Mrs Milne in the Isle of Wright - my memoranda much of use - they slept at Kingston (near Richmond Park) instead of London on their way to Southampton at (letter dated last Monday) 5pm and at 6 a steamer took them to Cowes in 1 ½ hour - as last Tuesday evening they were to embark for Jersey - ‘Laffitte has sent a most terrific account of different department in France’ (on account of the Cholera) but only one place they walk of going thro’ Abbeville’ – called down

 to speak to a person aet. 30 who came to offer as Ladys’ maid – had lived 3 months with Mrs. Noel of.......... park near Appleby in Westmoreland who gave her £15 a year – was born at Settle where her father kept the spread Eagle – her brother now keeps the Devonshire hotel at Skipton – no with her married sister a dress maker at Blackburne – bad teeth – too countrified or not ladylike enough but would do anything and fond of travelling – said I should not want one till Xmas – if I thought more of her would write to her at ‘Mr. George Brinands’ Draper church street Blackburne’ – she is known to Mr. Hulins, collector of excise, H-x – her nails were  not very clean – she could read well, but was out of the habit of writing – Think no more of her  - wrote the above of today till 4 20 – wrote 3pp. and ends to Miss H- but interrupted by Pickels and then long by Sowden – and then dinner at 6 ¼, and then long interruption from poor Thomas Greenwood, so sadly disappointed about Pickersgills’ farm, that I myself grieve over his not having it - Kind affectionate letter to Miss H- but not apparently much so, or too much so in fact - say she has been the constant occupier of my thoughts since Tuesday that I had her letter - ‘I must write once more – I must take leave of Vere Hobart – I shall not dwell much on good wishes - these have gone before, and if they had not, you would have felt assured of them never the less. I hope the day will never come when you either doubt, or quite forget them – I shall count upon being remembered sometimes and looked forward with which pleasure to our meeting somewhere hereafter’ - shall in the meantime see the picture she is now sitting for to be given to lady S- - ‘I value that I have more than ever, and on the 31st shall direct it to him who ought to have it in reversion’ - then ask her to tell Ward to send me the newspaper of that day containing the paragraph, if it is not in the courier which I now take for the foreign news - hope they will be over the water soon as I am not to hear again till then. ‘You return may be said to be adjourned sine die, now that you are out of the [guards] – Lucky Charles indeed! this is managed beautifully’ (not a word more on this subject) ...... ‘But I grieve a little over the coffee pot - oh! that I had known it sooner. I am quite determined however to manage better on their return. I have nothing in the world to send you en cadeau on this occasion, and this annoys me shockingly  it makes me quite envious of all those who have done so nicely, and I cannot bear to think of it’ - if she sees Madame Galvani to give mille amities de ma part and my address and say I should be very glad to hear from her now I have no hope of being in Paris for some months to come - on account of my affairs and my aunts fright of cholera - say she has not been quite so well of late - love to Lady S- and shall write to her soon. ‘I shall be anxious to hear how she is, how the dear girls look on Tuesday etc etc God bless you, my dearest Vere you and yours! I shall think of you often and always affectionately for the day will never come when I shall be less true than at present your very real and attached friend AL’ – sent off at 8 ½ letter to ‘Miss Hobart Honourable Lady Stuarts’ Whitehall London’ – went downstairs read over the courier – came to my room at 10 20 – seeing what I had paid today and calculating till 11 – very fine day F70 ½° at 11 20 p.m.

Today we remember the passing of Noel Redding who Died: May 11, 2003 in Clonakilty, Ireland

David Noel Redding was an English rock musician, best known as the bass player for the Jimi Hendrix Experience and guitarist/singer for Fat Mattress.

Following his departure from the Experience in 1969 and the dissolution of Fat Mattress in 1970, Redding formed the short-lived group Road in the United States, which released one eponymous album before he re-located to Clonakilty, Ireland, in 1972. There he formed the Noel Redding Band with former Thin Lizzy guitarist Eric Bell, with whom he released two albums. Although by the 1980s Redding had largely removed himself from the music business, he would later perform around his new hometown with wife Carol Appleby.

Redding was found dead in his home in Clonakilty on May 11, 2003, three weeks after the death of his mother. A postmortem was carried out on May 13 at Cork University Hospital in Wilton, Cork. The report concluded that Redding died from "shock hemorrhage due to oesophageal varices in reaction to cirrhosis of the liver"

Paradise Papers: Appleby raised red flags on supplying directors to Jindal’s Mauritius firms

Written by Sandeep Singh | New Delhi | Up to date: November 6, 2017 8:02:06 am

The shareholding sample of varied Jindal Group corporations filed with BSE present that in 2013, Jargo and Vavasa have been a part of the promoter group entities of JSPL, JSW Metal, Jindal Stainless Ltd and Jindal Noticed Ltd, amongst others.

WHEN GLOBAL legislation agency Linklaters Singapore Pte approached Appleby in 2013 to nominate two nominee administrators on two Mauritius-based corporations of Jindal Stainless Group — Jargo Investments and Vavasa Investments — the offshore service supplier determined towards going forward with the appointments.

Cause: the compliance supervisor of Appleby raised a crimson flag that for the reason that useful proprietor (Abhyuday Jindal) was of Indian nationality and investments have been being made in India, there’s the danger of ‘spherical tripping’.

“We have to be cautious on any potential spherical tripping problem (it seems that the useful proprietor is from India and investments have been made in India), as such we’d want to make sure that the corporate has the required approval from the income authorities in India,” the compliance supervisor wrote.

The proposed appointment request was in relation to a mortgage of $35 mn being supplied by Credit score Suisse AG Singapore to the 2 Jindal Group Firms.

Appleby paperwork present that it recognized its staff Malcolm Moller and Gilbert Noel to serve on the board of two Mauritian corporations — Jargo Investments Restricted and Vavasa Investments Restricted — for the time period of the ability settlement that Credit score Suisse AG Singapore was offering these two corporations for 4 years.

The shareholding sample of varied Jindal Group corporations filed with Bombay Inventory Alternate present that in 2013, Jargo and Vavasa have been a part of the promoter group entities of JSPL, JSW Metal, Jindal Stainless Ltd and Jindal Noticed Ltd, amongst others.

In accordance with the Facility Settlement out there, the 2 corporations in Mauritius have been performing as debtors for Jindal Stainless World Ltd, an organization integrated in Bahamas (Final Beneficiary being Abhyuday Jindal, son of Ratan Jindal) and have been borrowing $35 million from Credit score Suisse AG Singapore Department underneath the ability.

The doc states that the cash was to be utilised in the direction of refinancing of present loans of “any member of the group”.

Natasha Hardowar-Bissessur, compliance supervisor at Appleby, additional alerted a couple of WorldCheck discovering on one of many investee corporations in October 2012 and identified {that a} cost sheet was filed by the CBI for alleged involvement in an unlawful mining rip-off.

World-Test is a software utilized by banks and different entities to do a screening or due diligence on people and firms that they take care of because it lists out excessive danger people and firms.

Whereas the 4 Jindal brothers — sons of O P Jindal — took over administration obligations of various companies after their father’s demise in a helicopter crash in 2005, they continued to have cross-holding of their brother’s firm. It was solely in 2015 that the 4 brothers — Prithviraj, Sajjan, Ratan and Naveen — initiated a plan to unwind the cross-holdings of their corporations. The Jindal Stainless Group’s turnover for FY17 was Rs 16,500 crore.

The Lord Of The Rings: The Return Of The King (Special Extended Edition)

#314 

The Lord Of The Rings The Return Of The King was released in 2003 and was directed by Peter Jackson, it is the third and final movie in the trilogy following The Two Towers and is based on the novels by JR Tolkien. 

The movie stars Elijah Wood, Sean Astin, Ian Mckellan, VIggo Mortensen, Orlando Bloom, Noel Appleby, Liv Tyler, Cate Blanchett and Bernard Hill. 

The film focuses around the final battle for Middle Earth at the city of Miris Tinith as Frodo & Sam reach Mount Doom with the ring. 

The Return Of The King is a much better movie that the previous entry in the series, the scale of the battle is ten times that of Helms Deep and the the rest of the movie is just as interesting and it really brings back the fun element that the first movie has.

Thats to say its not without it’s problems though, as the movie does have some strange dialogue, especially the lines given to Legolas played by Orlando Bloom and some of the slow motion shots are questionable in this film. 

The visuals are also questionable at times, with more CGI shots that do look dated now, yet the practical effects use clearly still look fantastic. 

There seems to be a lot of endings to the film which is pretty insane, you have the end of the mordor army, the end of the ring, aragorn being crowned king, then you see the shire, then Frodo, Gandalf and Bilbo head for the sunset and leave middle earth and then you see the shire again.. you keep expecting the credits and it continues on.

The highlight of the movie for me though is that major battle, i just wish it was a lot grittier and perhaps a bit more realistically violent, imagine an R Rated The Lord Of The Rings?! 

The score is just as good, although does little to feel different from the other movies.

i think the highlight performance comes from Andy Serkis as Gollum, he really shines in this movie as he tries to take back the ring at the last minute. 

I am interested to know what they will do with the TV series when it comes to Amazon.

★★★★ The series never reaches the great heights of the first movie, but it is all excellent, The Return Of The King does deliver an excellent conclusion and leaves no doors open for future movies.

Three Republican-held seats in Washington state could be lost in November

https://uniteddemocrats.net/?p=7546

Three Republican-held seats in Washington state could be lost in November

Seattle-area primary results are below, but we want to highlight some interesting developments from outside our area, where three Republican-held seats are showing vulnerabilities.

In Clark County, on the Oregon border, longtime Republican incumbent Rep. Jaime Herrera Beutler is leading her Democrat challenger Carolyn Long by just four percentage points. Clark County is purple — Clinton and Trump were neck and neck in 2016 — and its voters have long been loyal to Beutler. This signifies a possible shift.

Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers, the Spokane Republican, was also leading the Democrat in her race, Lisa Brown, by less than half a percentage point, 47.5-47.1. (Trump beat Clinton 49-41 in Spokane County in 2016.)

And then there’s the open race in the 8th congressional district, currently held by outgoing Republican congressman Dave Reichert of Pierce County. Although Dino Rossi – yes, that Republican Dino Rossi – garnered nearly 40 percent of the vote, Dr. Kim Schrier may pick up the votes that were cast for the two other Democrats in November.

“Dino better be worried,” she said on Tuesday night.

Police UK tax havens to help world’s poorest people | Letters

Rebecca Gowland of Oxfam GB says new EU tax measures should be extended to all of the UK’s overseas territories; Noel Hodson says the Guardian v Appleby court case must see all participants declare conflicts of interest; plus letters from Chris Dodwell, Nick Lilwall and Gary BennettNew EU tax measures make it harder for the UK to keep its head in the sand when it comes to tax transparency for its overseas territories and crown dependencies (Firms forced to reveal real owners in tax evasion fight, 16 December).
