They wouldn't have kept him there for over a year until he had won $10 000 in prizes by sending in postcards to contests. They wouldn't have cut him off from the world and they would have told him that he was on nation-wide TV.via little green weblog

The Very Rich Pay Growing Tax Share (washingtonpost.com)
via Signal vs. Noise
The political battle over President Bush's tax-cut plan has centered on charges that it tilts too heavily to upper-income taxpayers. But the debate has obscured one fact about the nation's progressive tax system -- an increasingly small segment of the population pays a huge share of federal income taxes.Can't we just move to a flat tax system where everyone pays a percentage of their income each year? We could even use PayPal.
Consider this: The 400 wealthiest taxpayers pay about as much in federal income taxes as more than 40 million individuals and families at the bottom of the income scale, according to Internal Revenue Service data.
Those 400 taxpayers paid about $8.7 billion in taxes last year, more than enough to fund the State Department and its 30,000 employees in 250 embassies, consulates and other offices around the world.

Beginners' guide/Preparation
ro:Ghidul începătorilor/Preparare zh-CN:Beginners' Guide/Preparation zh-TW:Beginners' Guide/Preparation
This document will guide you through the process of installing Arch Linux using the Arch Install Scripts. Before installing, you are advised to skim over the FAQ.
The community-maintained ArchWiki is the primary resource that should be consulted if issues arise. The IRC Channel (irc://irc.freenode.net/#archlinux) and the forums are also excellent resources if an answer cannot be found elsewhere. In accordance with the Arch Way, you are encouraged to type
man command to read the
man page of any command you are unfamiliar with.
System requirements
Arch Linux should run on any i686 compatible machine with a minimum of 64 MB RAM. A basic installation with all packages from the base group should take about 500 MB of disk space. If you are working with limited space, this can be trimmed down considerably, but you will have to know what you're doing.
Burn or write the latest installation medium
The latest release of the installation media can be obtained from the Download page. Note that the single ISO image supports both 32 and 64-bit architectures. It is highly recommended to always use the latest ISO image.
- Install images are signed and it is highly recommend to verify their signature before use: this can be done by downloading the .sig file from the download page (or one of the mirrors listed there) to the same directory as the .iso file and then using
pacman-key -v iso-file.sig.
- Burn the ISO image on a CD or DVD with your preferred software. On Arch, that's covered in CD_Burning#Burning.
- Note: The quality of optical drives and the discs themselves varies greatly. Generally, using a slow burn speed is recommended for reliable burns. If you are experiencing unexpected behaviour from the disc, try burning at the lowest speed supported by your burner.
- Or you can write the ISO image to a USB stick. For detailed instructions, see USB Installation Media.
Installing over the network
Instead of writing the boot media to a disc or USB stick, you may alternatively boot the .iso image over the network. This works well when you already have a server set up. Please see this article for more information, and then continue to Boot the installation medium.
Installing on a virtual machine
Installing on a virtual machine is a good way to become familiar with Arch Linux and its installation procedure without leaving your current operating system and repartitioning the storage drive. It will also let you keep this Beginners' Guide open in your browser throughout the installation. Some users may find it beneficial to have an independent Arch Linux system on a virtual drive, for testing purposes.
Examples of virtualization software are VirtualBox, VMware, QEMU, Xen, Varch, Parallels.
The exact procedure for preparing a virtual machine depends on the software, but will generally follow these steps:
- Create the virtual disk image that will host the operating system.
- Properly configure the virtual machine parameters.
- Boot the downloaded ISO image with a virtual CD drive.
- Continue with Boot the installation medium.
The following articles may be helpful:
- Arch Linux as VirtualBox guest
- Arch Linux as VirtualBox guest on a physical drive
- Arch Linux as VMware guest
- Moving an existing install into (or out of) a virtual machine
Boot the installation medium
First, you may have to change the boot order in your computer's BIOS.
To do this, press a key (usually
F11 or
F12) during the POST phase. This will take you into the BIOS settings screen where you can set the order in which the system searches for devices to boot from. Select "Save & Exit" (or your BIOS's equivalent) and the computer should then complete its normal boot process.
When the Arch menu appears, select "Boot Arch Linux" and press
Enter to enter the live environment where you will run the actual installation
(if booting from a UEFI boot disk, the option may look more like "Arch Linux archiso x86_64 UEFI").
Once you have booted into the live environment, your shell is Zsh; this will provide you advanced Tab completion, and other features as part of the grml config.
Testing if you are booted into UEFI mode
In case you have a UEFI motherboard and UEFI Boot mode is enabled (and is preferred over BIOS/Legacy mode), the CD/USB will automatically launch Arch Linux kernel (Kernel EFISTUB via Gummiboot). To test if you have booted into UEFI mode run:
# mount -t efivarfs efivarfs /sys/firmware/efi/efivars # ignore if already mounted # efivar -l
If efivar lists the uefi variables properly, then you have booted in UEFI mode. If not check whether all the requirements listed at Unified Extensible Firmware Interface#Requirements for UEFI Variables support to work properly are met.
Troubleshooting boot problems
- If you are using an Intel video chipset and the screen goes blank during the boot process, the problem is likely an issue with Kernel Mode Setting. A possible workaround may be achieved by rebooting and pressing
eover the entry that you are trying to boot (i686 or x86_64). At the end of the string type
nomodesetand press
Enter. Alternatively, try
video=SVIDEO-1:dwhich, if it works, will not disable kernel mode setting. You can also try
i915.modeset=0. See the Intel article for more information.
- If the screen does not go blank and the boot process gets stuck while trying to load the kernel, press
Tabwhile hovering over the menu entry, type
acpi=offat the end of the string and press

THOUSAND PALMS, Calif., April 10 (UPI) -- An elderly man believed to have tied a puppy to a train track in southern California was released because authorities say he appeared "confused."
Riverside County Animal Services said in a statement Tuesday that the incident occurred April 2 near Mecca, the Los Angeles Times reported. The engineer of an approaching train spotted the 10-month-old dog on the track and applied the brakes, stopping in time to avoid hitting the animal.
Union Pacific Agent Sal Pina arrested the 78-year-old man. Pina said the man told him he did not know what to do with the dog since his family did not want it.
"It's probably one of the worst things I've ever seen," Pina said in a statement. "I've never seen something like this."
The man "appeared to be confused or senile and didn't fully understand what he had done," Pina said, explaining why he decided not to pursue a criminal charge of animal cruelty.
A veterinary technician at Coachella Valley Animal Campus in Thousand Palms has been taking care of the puppy, described as "very healthy and friendly." The poodle-terrier mix, nicknamed Banjo for old-style railroad signals, is available for adoption.

Isolated I don't have a problem with any of them, it's the timing combined with the speed at which they're doing it from having none in the past.
Ahh alright, thats a fair enough reason and I didnt know they added Young as wel. Hoping they dont start adding more and more players.
The cat is out of the bag. Hungary neutralized 2 payers. In the past there were neutralizations, but this is OK for a country with such a large diaspora. But now we have 2 born and raised Canadians. Sure, they like it here, I think Banham will even settle here eventually, but still, this is something new. Hungary was strongly against this, but with these stupid IIHF rules, somebody said if everyone is doing it so will we...
Interestingly, the national federation doesn't really encourage neutralizations, domestic teams do, and the coach picks from what is available. Anyway I think we can safely say that Hungary will have 3-4 neutralized players in the team in the next years. The local public is divided, needless to say. This is something new.
I'm with Starkovs here to a degree... the "Koranucks" appear to be, to a greater or lesser degree, lifers. Radunske has spent a lot of time there and is still there, not even moving around the league. Swift ditto for now.
As for the Cronucks, half of them moved on to different teams in different countries within a year of playing their first game for Croatia. ... pretty convincing that you love that nation so much that you wanted to become part of its society.
I'm going to compile a bunch of tweets I put out this morning... note I tagged the IIHF in these.
Touched on more than one subject there, but I think it sums up my thoughts on the changes to IIHF regs well enough.I have beef with the @IIHFHockey relaxing eligibility requirements for players while tightening them for national teams
@IIHFHockey we see Croatia bringing in a bunch of Canadian players and giving them passports to play for the NT but there's little growth
@IIHFHockey meanwhile a Greek program that had grown to 800 registered players has had its funding pulled when they got removed from the WC
@IIHFHockey greek hockey is dead. Croatian hockey is on track to not have a single domestically trained player on the NT by 2020
GBR 3-2 CRO, and not a single point by a domestic trained CRO player @IIHFHockey. Does this really represent the level of Croatian hockey?
Croatian hockey community (coaches, players, former players) is predominantly against the policy of Canadasation of the nationa team. However, except for the former players like Lovrenčić and Belić, vast majority is afraid of speaking publicly against it. Those who coach or play in Medveščak are quiet because Medveščak is behind this policy in order to satisfy requirements of EBEL and KHL of number of national players in the team. Those from other clubs are silent because Medveščak took full control of the national team appointing its coaches and managers to run the national team all with association's rubber stamp.
The fans are divided. Those who are in some way involved in hockey are against it. Nobody wants to have his son scratched from the national team because some third class Canadian is getting his expenses covered by the Croatian national hockey association in order to spend spring vacation in Croatian national jersey. Coach MacLean even got Letang out of retirement rather than some of domestic defenders.
On the other hand, there are plenty of hockey fans who got attracted to sport in 2009. with Medveščak in EBEL and who, in this globalised world where Americans play basketball in Russian national team or Qattar winning World silver medal in handball with team full of imports, see no evil in Croatian ice version of Qattar going all the way to Olympic Games.
In this public relations cause blindness, those fans can't comprehend that hockey federations with far more money than Croatian one can and will bring better Canadians and that those Canadians that Croatia can afford can't compete with Norwegians, Danes, Germans, Latvians, even if those teams play solely with domestic players.
Apparently, Croatian hockey would have to wait for Medveščak's house of cards to get itself to sustainable level before this madness eventually goes away.

No Russian, chinese or South Korean naturalized players?! Impressive!
Sometimes I wonder what do we know for sure about the conditions in North Korea and what is generated by various intelligence services.
(In Russian) Accorinding to vesti.kz, Kevin Dallman won't be the only North American-born player for Kazakhstan next year, being joined by Brandon Bochenski (as expected) but also Dustin Boyd and Nigel Dawes.

So sad, now that Netherlands, Italy and Great Britain has finally stopped this silly way of artificially strengthening their national team several new nations steps up doing it instead.
I think it is indeed time to take a look at the rules again, clearly this 2 year rule is absolutely useless on top of stopping players that in every sense belongs to a certain nation while not being eligible for various reasons in their youth.
Nothing wrong with doing this once in a while for players that truely feel they belong to a new nation, but doing it on this scale is pathetic quite frankly.
Last edited by WHawks; 27-04-2015 at 04:07.
Dallman, Bochenski, Boyd and Dawes are as much Kazakhs, or Kazakh-Russians, as I am. Which is to say not at all.
First off, women shouldn't have a second and even easier rule to acquire eligibilty. I understand why it was done, to artificially close the gap firstly for Korea and secondly for everybody to the North Americans, all while acknowledging women only get paid to play in Russia. Hell, the professional import players that exist almost exclusively play for their homelands already, for example Karoliina Rantamaki. Change: End the women's clause.
Secondly, I'm in favor of completely ditching the 2- and 4-year rules. The 2-year rule is a complete farse but 4 years is about 20-25% of a player's effective professional career. I'd propose sticking a fifth or even sixth year onto the club requirement. A player would have to look at it and say "I can't play in the next Olympics, I'll be on the far side of 30 if I stay here just to get eligible - and we might not qualify for the Olys or the (elite) World Championships. Am I committed enough to spend 5-6 years here?" Change: 2- and 4-year rules dropped for 5/6-year rule.
Idea number three is limiting the change of nationality. As the rule was before the 2- and 4-year clauses, you could not change nationality after the age of 18. I'd introduce the idea of allowing players to change nation between junior and senior tournaments one time. Once a player represents a senior team (anything over U20, including U22), even if still junior-aged or an exhibition match, they are locked in and unable to change. Change: Brandon Bochenski played for the US senior team before gaining eligibilty for Kazakhstan, that'd no longer be possible. Geoff Platt played for the Canadian U18s, but not an over-20 team, before gaining eligibility for Belarus, that's still permissible.
My fourth proposal, to standardize the Hari/Nylander/Stewart rulings, is for specific cases of junior dual-national players. The, quite frankly, bullshit move to Hari would be eliminated. If a player has documented proof of playing in Nation A before acquiring citizenship of Nation B, they can choose to play for Nation A - regardless of what age it was. Nylander played in Canada but not Sweden. A player having only played in one country of citizenship is only eligible for that country. As for Lil Rod, a dual-citizen having never played in either country of citizenship can choose which one to play for and change thereafter falling into the above rules. Change: Clarification and standardization of rule, see below;
Case one, Hari. Acquired dual-nationality, played as a very young boy in Hungary, moved to Sweden and got passport. Eligible for Hungary or Sweden as a junior as he played in Hungary prior to the Swedish passport (see below) or Sweden (played 5/6 years).
Case two, Nylander. Born dual-national, played in Canada, later went to Sweden. Not eligible for Sweden until fulfilling 5/6 years of exclusively Swedish club hockey.
Case three, Stewart. GB-NZer but only played in USA. Eligible for Great Britain or New Zealand as a junior.
The final idea is a limit of dual-citizens.* This is a difficult one. Firstly, you have to grandfather all current players even if you aren't happy about it. They became eligible under the rules at the time and it's unjust to take that away from them. Secondly, players representing Nation A before acquiring a second passport would not count - they are already eligible for Nation A. Scenario three is the major change. Players acquiring a second passport to play for Nation B. Only four such players would be permitted on an official IIHF tournament roster. Change: See explanation below.
Case one, Alan Letang is grandfathered in and eligible for Croatia.
Case two, Nikolai Antropov is eligible to play for Kazakhstan only (played for Kazakhstan before getting Canadian citizenship).
Case three, Canadian having never represented Canada at any level, acquires citizenship of South Africa. Eligible to play for SA after 5/6 years of exclusively SA club hockey - but only if one of four "imported" dual-nationals.
Case four, American having played U20 but never on a senior team, acquires citizenship of Mexico. Eligible to play for Mexico after 5/6 years of exclusively Mexican club hockey - but only if one of four "imported" dual-nationals.
Case five, 17-year old Russian played for Russian senior team. Played for the senior team, only eligible for Russia.
They have passports so they have that going for them. I'm not defending the policy but we have to avoid ethnicity or it gets into a very convoluted discussion. I don't think Sidney Crosby is from the First Nations.Originally Posted by Marc Brunengraber
As Graham mentioned years ago, the national feeling does matter though completely immeasurable. In the heat of the moment, if a naturalized player says something along the lines of "we played for our nation," that means something. When they are saying "I'm going home for the summer," and it's a reference to Flin Flon, Manitoba - they better be playing for Canada!

I agree with most of your points except the Nylander case of your fourth idea. Born a dual-national, I don't see 5/6 years as being reasonable to be eligible for one of your nationalities. That's the same as for players acquiring a nationality later in life.
There are quite a few children born to European NHL players that achieve dual nationality at birth and then start playing hockey while their father is still in NHL. Requiring these children the choice of playing 5-6 years in their (European) home country or wait to start playing hockey once back in Europe is not fair. Neither is depriving them of the choice of playing for their countyr of birth (CAN/USA).
I'd rather have the rule for dual nationals since birth being that as long as they have played two seasons in either country they are eligible for that country. After representing a country they fall under your third idea, i.e. they can change once between junior and senior but once they have represented a country at the senior level that is it.

In regards to your 5-6 year rule.
What would be your thoughts regarding players from Yugoslavia who moved due to the war? I'll use Bosnia as an example as that is much closer to me. What would be your thoughts regarding someone who was born in Bosnia, moved during the war, was formally trained in Sweden and acquired Swedish citizenship? There are others who were born during or shortly after the war throughout Europe and North America who maintain both passports. Is it really fair to punish bottom tiered teams who do not have the finances, resources, or a "professional" league/team to qualify their own citizens? Two years is hard enough on these players...
Fully understand where you're coming from based on people who no roots or ties to a country, however what about people who do?

Trim, I like your ideas. I'm pretty much on board with them, though I do like Bennison's amendment a lot too.
Of course, having that happen would require the IIHF to see some form of sense, and we all know that's not likely to happen anytime soon...... :(
And now China will start with the handing out of passports to non-Chinese players to artificially strengthen their national team and try to get into the Olympics. They will do it through 'Kunlun Red Star,' a never before seen club that will join the KHL and play out of Beijing. When will the madness end?
However, news recently broke that the Party is considering allowing dual nationality. Officially, it is because of children born to mixed-national couples of recent times. My first reaction was how comically far behind China is for 2022 in so many sports.

China's fellow Asian country South Korea is once again in The Hockey News about their naturalized players: http://www.thehockeynews.com/blog/hi...2018-olympics/

And once again the IIHF promote naturalizing players with Anton Peronmaa and maybe Olexi Voitsekhivsky and Oleg Zadoyenko for Turkey

Prince William steps in for queen at honors ceremony
- William taps the shoulders of new knights with a sword
- Pins OBE medal on Wimbledon champ Andy Murray
- Meanwhile Prince Harry coaches rugby players
Dressed in uniform and wielding a ceremonial sword, Prince William dubbed his first knights today, stepping in for the queen to host his first investiture, or honors, ceremony at Buckingham Palace.
It's another step forward into the "senior royal" category for the second-in-line to the throne: He presided over one of the more antique duties of the monarch, that of handing out coveted medals, titles and honors to worthy citizens in the splendor of the palace ballroom.
British tennis star Andy Murray was among the dozens of honorees; he received an OBE (Order of the British Empire) medal pinned to his chest.
Queen Elizabeth II, or sometimes William's father, Prince Charles, usually does the honors, about 25 times a year, usually at Buckingham Palace but sometimes at Windsor Castle or other royal palaces.
Now that he's left active service as a helicopter pilot in the RAF, William, 31, is taking on more royal duties for his aging grandmother, 87. Last year she had to pull out of an honors ceremony after her chronic back pain flared up; the Prince of Wales stepped in instead.
The hour-long ceremony can be a strain, especially if there are dozens to be honored and there's a lot of bending and pinning and sword waving to be done.
The knighthood part of the ceremony is the most memorable throwback to the era of chivalry: The recipients kneel on the investiture stool and are dubbed (tapped) on the shoulders with a sword that belonged to the queen's father, George VI.
Those receiving other honors got their decoration from William, who shook their hands and chatted briefly before the next one was announced. All this was watched by the recipient's guests; they are allowed to bring three each.
According to British press reports, William was anxious to do everything properly so as not to mar what is usually one of the most important days in a recipient's life. So he practiced with a sword and with pinning medals to an aide's chest in advance.
While William was working at the palace, brother Prince Harry was working, too: He helped coach high school students in rugby for the Rugby Football Union at a local stadium, and he was to open the Royal British Legion Center for Blast Injury Studies at Imperial College London.
Now that they've moved into their new residence, Apartment 1A in Kensington Palace, William and his wife, Duchess Kate of Cambridge, are stepping up their charitable and royal engagements in London.
Next week is the christening ceremony for Prince George, now three months old, on Oct. 23 in the Chapel Royal at St. James Palace, where late grandmother Princess Diana's body lay in state before her funeral in 1997. It will be a private and intimate affair: no TV cameras and fewer than 100 guests. The guest list and the godparents — there are likely to be more than two — won't be publicly announced until the day, but that hasn't stopped the speculation in the British media about who's in and who's not.
The crucial snap will be the historic picture afterwards of the queen with the three generations of her heirs — the last time that happened was in 1894 with Queen Victoria — but that won't be released until the following day, palace officials say.
Tomorrow, Kate will embark on her first solo engagement since the birth of George on July 22, attending a SportsAid Athlete Workshop at London's Olympic Park, and on Oct. 24, she is scheduled to attend a gala fundraising dinner for her charity, Action on Addiction.
William, president of the Football Association, will attend its 150th anniversary dinner at the Grand Connaught Rooms in London on October 26.

I have a linked list that takes any object, and puts it a struct with some other params:
Let's say:
So when you want to retreive it you create a struct, pass it as a ref, and take the struct.data part.public VList(Object Data);
passes it to
public struct VData
public double ID;
public Object Data;
Lets say:
struct Vals
public string a;
public string b;
public string c;
public string d;
[ creating instances and stuff]
List.Find(id, ref vdata);
vals = (Vals) vdata.Data;
THis actually worked till I changed some code on the list's library (not really had to do with all these).
Now it sends an InvalidCastException like "Specified cast is not valid."
What's wrong with it?

Impressive and delicious!

I tried this recipe for Mother's Day and it was incredible!! My mom loved it and everyone raved over it. I used plain graham cracker crumbs and it was sooooo good! I have since had many requests for it and the recipe. I have lost count on how many times I have made it. I can tell you it's now on my table every Christmas. My mom asked me just yesterday if I would make it for her if she bought me the stuff. LOVE,LOVE,LOVE this recipe! Thanks for sharing!
@Molly, I have used both recipes simply because I used the cookbook the first time and lost the recipe so I looked it on the website. Both worked just fine....I prefer it with heavy whipping cream! Good luck!
Dec 31, 1969
Please help! The recipe on the website differs from the one in the cookbook (Best of County Cooking, 2001). The website recipe calls for using heavy cream in the filling, where the book does not. Also, the cooking time and process differs. Any thoughts?
Dec 31, 1969
AMAZING! I'm 16 and made this with my own decor on top and own 1st place in a cheesecake contest for presentation and 3rd for taste! Everyone RAVED over it and I was really popular around my friends and teachers!:)

The bq2400x series ICs are advanced Li-Ion linear charge management devices for highly integrated and space-limited applications. They combine high-accuracy current and voltage regulation; FET pass-transistor and reverse-blocking Schottky; battery conditioning, temperature, or input-power monitoring; charge termination; charge-status indication; and charge timer in a small package.
The bq2400x measures battery temperature using an external thermistor. For safety reasons, the bq2400x inhibits charge until the battery temperature is within the user-defined thresholds. Alternatively, the user can monitor the input voltage to qualify charge. The bq2400x series then charge the battery in three phases: preconditioning, constant current, and constant voltage. If the battery voltage is below the internal low-voltage threshold, the bq2400x uses low-current precharge to condition the battery. A preconditioning timer is provided for additional safety. Following pre-conditioning, the bq2400x applies a constant-charge current to the battery. An external sense-resistor sets the magnitude of the current. The constant-current phase is maintained until the battery reaches the charge-regulation voltage. The bq2400x then transitions to the constant voltage phase. The user can configure the device for cells with either coke or graphite anodes. The accuracy of the voltage regulation is better than ±1% over the operating junction temperature and supply voltage range.
Charge is terminated by maximum time or minimum taper current detection
The bq2400x automatically restarts the charge if the battery voltage falls below an internal recharge threshold.

The Witch-king of Angmar was the leader of the Nazgûl or Ringwraiths, and Sauron's second-in-command in the Second and Third Ages. Once a king of men, he was corrupted by one of the nine Rings of Power given to the lords of men and became an undead wraith in the service of Sauron.
After the first defeat of Sauron in the War of the Last Alliance, the Witch-King fled to Angmar, a kingdom he ruled for over thousands of years until he returned to Mordor to lead Sauron's armies in the War of the Ring. He was killed in the Battle of the Pelennor Fields by Meriadoc Brandybuck and Éowyn niece of Theóden at the end of the War.
The Second and Third Ages
The first sighting of the Nazgûl in Middle-earth was reported in SA 2251. For the next 1200 years, the Lord of the Nazgûl would serve Sauron as his second in command. He fought in the war against the Last Alliance of Elves and Men between SA 3434 and SA 3441. It was in SA 3441 when Sauron was finally defeated and the nine Nazgûl disappeared from Middle-Earth.
One thousand years into the Third Age, Sauron took a new form as the Necromancer, and founded the fortress of Dol Guldur in southern Mirkwood in TA 1050. This signaled the return of the Nine Nazgûl to Middle-earth.
The Lord of the Nazgûl reappeared in TA 1300 in the north near the lost realm of Arnor. There he founded the kingdom of Angmar. It was after the formation of Angmar and several conflicts with the Dúnedain of the North that the Lord of the Nazgûl received the title of Witch-king, Lord of Angmar.
He then began his open war campaign with the three divided kingdoms of Arnor (Arthedain, Rhudaur, and Cardolan). In TA 1356, the Witch-king invaded the kingdom of Rhudaur and replaced the Dúnedain king of the land with a hill chief allied to Angmar. King Argeleb of Arthedain was killed trying to defend Rhudaur against Angmar. In TA 1409 the troops of the Witch-King assaulted the fortress of Amon Sûl and burned the tower, during which conflict king Arveleg of Arthedain was killed. The Witch-King then invaded and destroyed the kingdom of Cardolan. Then the Witch-King invaded Arthedain and came close to destroying it but King Araphor with the help of the elves of Lindon and Rivendell managed to defeat the invading forces.
Soon, the only resistance against the Witch-king's forces was the western kingdom of Arthedain. The Witch-king continued his war for hundreds of years. In TA 1636, the Witch-king sent wights to the Barrow-downs in Cardolan in order to prevent the rebirth of the kingdom. The Witch-king claimed ultimate victory in the north in TA 1974, when his forces captured Fornost Erain, the capital of Arthedain. With its capture, the final kingdom collapsed, and with it, the last remnants of the lost realm of Arnor were destroyed.
The Witch-king gladly took his seat of power in the newly captured Fornost. But his glory did not last long, for in TA 1975, general Eärnur of Gondor landed at the harbours of the Grey Havens, leading an army of Gondor. His army was joined by the Elves of Lindon and the remnant of the northern Dúnedain and marched on the Witch-king.[1]
At Fornost
They did not meet the Witch-king at Fornost, but on the plains west of it toward Lake Evendim, home of the ancient kings of Arnor, Annúminas. The battle would forever be known as the Battle of Fornost. Eärnur's Dúnedain army was later joined in the mists of battle by Glorfindel and his Elven army from Rivendell. The Witch-king revealed himself and challenged Eärnur. As Eärnur attempted to attack, his horse was overwhelmed with fear of the Nazgûl lord and bucked. The Witch-king, taunting Eärnur, fled the battlefield. When Eärnur attempted to follow, Glorfindel stopped him with a warning that would become prophetic in the future:
- "Do not pursue him! He will not return to these lands. Far off yet is his doom, and not by the hand of man shall he fall."
The Witch-king, having destroyed the North-kingdom, fled the North. Angmar was left leaderless and soon collapsed.
Return to Mordor
Having ruined the Dunedain kingdoms in Eriador, the Witch-king returned to Mordor. Although Sauron was still hiding in Dol Guldur (disguised as the Necromancer), the other eight Nazgûl rallied around the Witch-king. Together, the nine of them laboured to rebuild their master's power in Mordor, gathering huge Orcish hordes about themselves. In the year TA 2000 they came out of Mordor and began attacking Gondor, which was recovered from the Great Plague but devastated by the Wainriders. In TA 2002 they captured Minas Ithil, and took the place for their own. It became known as Minas Morgul and its citadel the Tower of Witchcraft and remained a place of great evil for centuries thereafter.
In TA 2043, King Eärnil II of Gondor passed away and his son Eärnur, the Witch-king's old enemy, inherited the throne. Upon his coronation, the Witch-king challenged him to single combat, but Eärnur refused. However, seven years later in TA 2050 the Witch-king again challenged him—and Eärnur accepted. The Gondorian King rode out of Minas Tirith to fight the Witch-king at Minas Morgul. He entered the city's gates and was never seen again, thus ending the reign of the Gondorian Kings and beginning the rule of the Stewards of Gondor. In TA 2063 the Watchful Peace began when Sauron fled Dol Guldur and hid in the East, and the Nazgûl remained quiet in Minas Morgul for the next 400 years.In TA 2460, the Watchful Peace ended when Sauron, disguised as the Necromancer, returned with increased strength to Dol Guldur, and in TA 2475 the Witch-king led hordes of Orcs and Haradrim against Osgiliath and seized its eastern half. The city was ruined, and the great stone bridge linking the east and west banks of the Anduin river was destroyed, dealing a devastating blow to the morale of Gondor.
In TA 2941 the Necromancer was finally expelled from Dol Guldur when Gandalf confirmed that he truly was Sauron in disguise. Sauron returned to Mordor and began preparations to find his One Ring. He began the reconstruction of Barad-dûr in TA 2951 and sent three Ringwraiths to re-capture Dol Guldur. And in TA 3018, with the capture of Gollum, Sauron learned, through torture, where the land of the Hobbits lay. Unfortunately, Gollum had lied, and the Ringwraiths went to Saruman, who refused to tell them the location of the land of the Halflings. The Witch King chanced upon Grima Wormtongue in Rohan, who, for fear of his life, told the Nazgûl where the Shire was. Sauron opened the gates of Minas Morgul and sent forth the Witch-king and the other Nazgul disguised as Black Riders to fetch his Ring.
With an attack on Osgiliath that was in fact a ruse, the Nazgûl and army of Orcs were able to cross the river and ride west.
The War of the Ring
The Witch-king and the other eight Nazgûl rode swiftly from Mordor to the lands of the Shire. They continued to search for "Baggins" until they tracked him to Buckland. The Nine Riders raided Buckland but could not find the Ring.
The Witch-king led four other Nazgûl to Weathertop where they discovered Frodo, Aragorn, and the other hobbits. The Ringwraiths attacked the party and the Witch-king wounded Frodo with a Morgul blade. Though successfully driven off by Aragorn, Frodo's wound threatened to turn him into a wraith like the Nazgûl. Elrond of Rivendell sent Glorfindel to guide Frodo to Rivendell where Elrond could heal his wound. Glorfindel's race to Rivendell lured the Ringwraiths into the Bruinen. Here, Elrond released a Great Flood, with Gandalf giving the waves of the torrent the form of horses. This flood destroyed the physical forms of the Ringwraiths, killed their horses, and sent the Wraiths back to their master in Mordor, buying the Fellowship time to plan an attack.
With their return to Mordor, Sauron bestowed upon the Nazgûl great winged creatures as their new mounts. Sauron used the lesser eight Nazgûl for reconnaissance work and the occasional shock troop. The Witch-king, however, returned to Minas Morgul and resumed the role of commander of Sauron's forces. He then began battles to capture Osgiliath, finally issuing from Morgul with a great host. However, at the bridge over Morgulduin he pauses, feeling the Ring nearby; until Frodo touches the Phial and turns aside his enemy's thought.
Siege of Gondor
The final Battle of Osgiliath was fought on March 13, 3019 of the Third Age against Faramir's rangers. Faramir's forces could not hold the Orc hordes under the control of Gothmog. Faramir pulled his forces back to Minas Tirith assailed by flying Nazgûl, losing much of his force in the retreat. A second time he went forth, and from that assault only Faramir returned to Minas Tirith, gravely wounded, in Gandalf's arms. With Gondor's defeat at Osgiliath, nothing stood in the way of Sauron's ambitions of destroying Minas Tirith and the Free People's hopes.On March 14, Orcs, Haradrim, and Easterling forces numbering over 200,000 marched on the gates of Minas Tirith. Sauron had bestowed the Witch-king with newfound strength, making his appears on a black horse, his presence casting a shadow of utter paralysis and fear upon defender and foe. Crying incantations in "some forgotten tongue," he enhances the power of Grond, and weakens the already damaged gate of Minas Tirith. The ram breaks open the gate, and the defenders inside flee, terror stricken by his dark presence. However, his march in is hindered by Gandalf the White, the only one able to withstand his power. There is a duel of words between them, and the Witch-king doffs his hood revealing a crown on empty air, mocking Gandalf as "old fool" and bidding him die, threateningly draws his blade, which blazes on its own accord. Gandalf holds firm, ready to do battle. Before the two warriors can clash the horns of Rohan sound, signaling the arrival of aid to Minas Tirith. The Witch-king then withdraws to order the defence against this new threat.
The Witch-king mounted his Fell beast and rallied his troops against the furious charge of the Rohirrim. The army of Rohan was slowed the initial charge blunted by their encounter with the Mumakil, allowing the hosts of Mordor to re-organize. The Witch-king took this opportunity to strike down King Théoden while his troops were in confusion. Flying on the back of his fell beast, he drove upon Théoden. The advancing Rohirrim horses panicked as his beast attacked. Théoden's horse, Snowmane, became frightened, was struck by a black dart and fell upon its master.
As the Witch-king hovered over Théoden on his fell beast, Éowyn and the hobbit Merry stood in his way.
Éowyn: Be gone, foul dwimmerlaik, lord of carrion! Leave the dead in peace!
Nazgûl: Come not between the Nazgul and his prey! Or he will not slay thee in thy turn. He will bear thee away to the houses of lamentation, beyond all darkness, where thy flesh shall be devoured, and thy shriveled mind be left naked to the Lidless Eye.
Éowyn: Do what you will, but I will hinder it, if I may.
Nazgûl: Hinder me? Thou fool. No living man may hinder me!
Éowyn: But no living man am I! You look upon a woman. Éowyn I am, Eomund's daughter. You stand between me and my lord and kin. Be gone, if you be not deathless! For living or dark undead, I will smite you, if you touch him.
Éowyn slew his fell beast with a single stroke of her sword, severing its neck. The Witch-king arose, and with a cry of hatred he shattered her shield and broke her left arm with a single blow of his mace. But as he towered over her, preparing to deliver the final blow, Merry stabbed his sword from behind into the sinew of the Witch-king's knee. While the Witch-King was distracted, Éowyn drove her sword where the head of the wraith would have been, slaying him.
The prophesy of Glorfindel so many centuries before had thus come to pass. For not by the hand of [a] man had he failed, but by those of a hobbit and a woman. Now, with his death, the tide of the battle had changed, and ultimately the outcome of the War. No more than ten days later, Sauron himself was finally defeated when the One Ring was cast back into the fires of Mount Doom and unmade.[2][3][4][5]
Powers and Abilities
As a Nazgûl, the Witch King had a wide arsenal of powers. Besides from the common Black Breath any weapon that struck the Witch-King would be destroyed (a fate shared by Meriadoc Brandybuck's and Éowyn's swords), and its bearer would be poisoned. The Witch-King was also a feared sorcerer, having powers over the physical world, breaking Frodo's sword with just a move of his hand, or weakening the Gates of Minas Tirith allowing the Grond to break them. He was stronger at night time. His power fluctuated over the centuries, with the two peaks of his power being during his campaign against Arnor and in his final battle at Minas Tirith.
Portrayal in adaptations
The Lord of the Rings film trilogy
The power of the Witch King in adaptations has varied from that envisioned by Tolkien and displayed in hi novels. In Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings, the Witch King was clearly outclassed by Gandalf the White, and even Aragorn was able to rout him (along with several other Nazgûl) on Weathertop. But in the Peter Jackson movie adaptions, the Witch King is more powerful than his novel counterpart, and is even feared by Gandalf. Jackson goes so far as to have the Witch King be able to break Gandalf's staff with a powerful screech.
- "You fool. No man can kill me. Die now."
- —The Witch-king, while choking Éowyn at The Battle of Pelennor Fields, in the film The Return of the King.
The Witch-king appears in all three of Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings movies. First appearing in The Fellowship of the Ring, he appears in the prologue as a Man as his story of being turned into a Ringwraith is described by Galadriel. When Frodo, Sam, Merry, Pippin and Aragorn meet in Bree, he and the other Ringwraiths search for him with no avail. The four companions flee as Aragorn takes them to Rivendell. He later appears having stabbed Frodo on Weathertop with a Morgul Blade. The wound threatened to turn Frodo into a Wraith also, until Arwen (replacing Glorfindel's role in the books) takes Frodo to Rivendell where he could be healed by Elrond. Arwen leads the Wraiths to the Brunien where she casts the spell of the Great Flood sending a massive flood of water at the Wraiths, destroying their horses. Through all this time, the name of the Witch-King is not mentioned, but can be noticed by his appearances. In the Two Towers, The Witch-king now mounted on his Fell Beast, appears in several shots confronting Frodo, Sam, and Gollum on their way to Mordor. The Witch-king and his forces also attack Osgiliath and their retreating riders to the point of Minas Tirith until Gandalf raises his staff, shining a bright light at the Wraiths, causing them to retreat and giving the riders of Gondor a clear retreat.
In the Return of the King, his identity as the Witch-king of Angmar is revealed by Gandalf as well as mentioning his lair, Minas Morgul. He is seen planning with Gothmog for the Battle of Pelennor Fields commanding him to send forth all legions on Minas Tirith. Later, at the Battle of Pellenor Fields, The Witch-king rides on his Fell Beast, destroying several structures in the city, killing many civilians and soldiers alike. In the Extended Edition, he then confronted Gandalf the White on one of the upper levels of Minas Tirith. The Nazgûl drew out his sword, which immediately burst into flame and sucked air straight towards it, a spell which eventually shattered Gandalf's staff. The Rohirrim Horn sounds and the Witch-king is drawn towards it. He eyes the incoming Rohirrim and attacks them with the rest of the Nine. When more forces of Sauron arrive, The Rohirrim fend them off as best, but they have decreased in number massively. The Witch-king has his Fell Beast pick up Theoden and his horse, and flinging them down to the battle. The Fell Beast lands near Theoden, inviting his Fell Beast to feast on Theoden's flesh. Eowyn and Merry then come forth. Eowyn threatens to smite the Witch-king if he dares touch her uncle. The Witch-king does not take warning and Eowyn slices off the head of his Fellbeast. The Witch-king swings his flail at Eoywn, shattering her shield and breaking her arm. Merry then stabs the Witch-king in the leg, causing the Witch-king to drop to his knees in pain, and with this chance, Eowyn thrusts her sword into the Witch-king's head, ending his life and command. Eowyn then moves to see if Theoden still has a chance, but it is too late and Theoden passes onto the halls of his fathers.
The Hobbit film trilogyThe Witch-king is also shown in the film The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, briefly fighting Radagast. The Witch-king's portrayal in the film is also different from in the books. In the film he is said to have been killed after the fall of Angmar and buried prior to his revival by the Necromancer. In the books, however, the Witch-king did not die following the fall of Angmar, and instead went to Dol Guldur.
Video games
Games Workshop
Games Workshop has released several miniatures of the Witch King based on his appearances in the movies. He is depicted on foot, riding a fellbeast and riding a horse. He is also included in a mini diarama depicting his last moments in The Return of the King.
The Witch-king appears as a boss hero in all The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King (video game) games as a boss, although in the PS2/Xbox/GameCube the player merely shoots his Fell beast a number of times until it dies and crashes on the battlefield where the Witch King is then battled and killed by Éowyn in a cutscene. He was also in the Third Age PS2 game as a Pelennor Fields boss and in the GBA game as an optional Evil commander that focuses mainly on dealing out huge amounts of damage directly.
His more notable appearance is in The Lord of the Rings: The Battle for Middle-earth II: The Rise of the Witch-king which features Angmar's rise to power and eventual destruction, including new heroes such as Morgomir.
It would appear based on much of Angmar's powers that the Witch-king's original sorcery was based on ice, cold, and the dead. In The Battle for Middle Earth games, the Witch-king is noted for being extremely cruel, as he will attack friend and foe alike. The only two other units in the franchise that show this savagery are the Balrog and the Spectral Werewolf, as not even Sauron kills his underlings for being in the way. He also has the largest health pool for a standard hero, at 8,000 health points at the start, but has very little to any armor.

Broad Sword
When entering a battle, his primary weapon is a mighty broad sword. This ancient weapon was created in the dark forges of Mordor, a blade that suited the Witch-king well. Whether he was out searching for the hobbit with his master's One Ring, or battling the forces of Gondor and Rohan at the Battle of Pelennor Fields, the Witch-king used this weapon to dispatch and cut down his enemies easily and effortlessly. It is possible that the sword has some fell magic entwined within it. This fiery broad sword is used again apparently in The Lord of the Rings: The Third Age, when he is attacking Éowyn and Berethor's party, who has joined with Éowyn against the mighty Lord of the Nazgûl.
Although not officially named in The Lord of the Rings books, those who preordered The Lord of the Rings: Conquest video game were given a replica of the Witch-king's sword. On the box art (and playing as the Witch-king in the game), EA provides a name for the weapon: The Sword of Terror.
The Witch-king's other primary weapon was his mace. The Lord of the Nazgûl uses this weapon with the same amount of skill and dexterity as his sword, able to take down several foes at once when used together. While the mace may not have any magic or curse placed on it like the sword does, it is obviously more menacing in general; a mighty weapon that can shatter shields and/or kill enemies in one swing. Together with his sword, the Witch-king was an unstoppable force, a mighty warrior that was only slain with the combined efforts of an extremely lucky shieldmaiden and hobbit whose blades were very powerful against the Witch-king specifically, a fact which was unknown to them.
In the movies, the Witch-king uses a flail instead of a mace. Although the choice of weapon was different, it is a relatively minor change as both mace and flail are similar in nature, and used with equal power in the hands of the Lord of the Nazgûl.
In The Lord of the Rings: The Battle for Middle-earth II, the Witch-king is featured using a flail, since it is swung, however in the expansion pack, The Rise of the Witch-king, he uses a steel sceptre that appears to be a small trident instead of his mace.
The Witch-king's last and smallest weapon was, in a way, more powerful than any of his primaries. That was a Morgul-blade, a deadly sorcerer's device that could turn any it stabbed into a lesser wraith, slave to the true Nine and Sauron. A Morgul-blade was reserved for the most powerful enemies of the Dark Lord, or for special purposes. He used it on Frodo, in an attempt to claim the Ring and punish its bearer by putting him in a state worse than death. Fortunately, though, the blade failed to complete its task. Nevertheless, a Morgul-blade is a powerful tool of destruction, with one of the most powerful curses imaginable upon it. A Morgul-blade has only 1 use, upon biting into flesh it will soon evaporate afterwards and a new one must be created/conjured, a Morgul-blades damage lay in it's magical properties that acts like a venom, the longer the blade is kept stabbed into the victim the swifter it's effect has on the victim. The Morgul-blade was also seen in Peter Jackson's adaptation of Tolkien's 'The Hobbit', when a wizard of middle-earth known as Radagast enters the destroyed fortress of Dol Guldur. As well as seeing the spirit form of what was known as 'the necromancer' who was eventually discovered as Sauron, Radagast has a brief encounter with the spirit of the Witch King, where the Morgul-Blade is dropped, and later brought to Rivendell during Thorin & Co's stay in Rivendell.
Fell Beast
Besides weapons actually crafted from forges in Mordor, the Witch-king also used his winged Fell beast as a method of attacking his enemies. This Fell Beast served two purposes: to take down enemy structures and catapults and to kill massive amounts of enemies at once. When the Witch-king (or indeed, any other Ringwraith) swooped down upon his enemies, they would flee in terror and attempt to save themselves (usually unsuccessfully). This Fell Beast was finally slain by Éowyn via decapitation.

Behind the Scenes
The Witch-king's true name was never given, and therefore among Tolkien fans, the Witch-king is often simply called Angmar, after the name of the realm he founded and led (like how Arthur Wellesley, the Duke of Wellington who helped defeat Napoleon at Waterloo, was and is referred to as simply "Wellington"). Many fans also identify him as one of the three Black Númenóreans Tolkien stated had become Nazgûl or possibly Isilmo, a Númenórean prince and father of Tar-Minastir. In the now defunct Middle-earth Role Playing game, he was named Er-Murazor, a Númenórean prince, though this is strictly non-canonical. In the Angband computer game he was listed as Murazor, the Witch-King of Angmar.
In the Battle of the Pelennor Fields, Éowyn challenges the Witch-king with the words: "Begone, foul dwimmerlaik, lord of carrion! Leave the dead in peace!" . It is supposed that the word "dwimmerlaik" is formed from the Old English words "gedwimer" (sorcery), and "lic" (corpse).
Though no character in the story uses the title Witch-king of Angmar, Tolkien does use the title in full in Appendix B in the entry for the year 1409 of the Third Age.
Roots in Norse mythology
An undead witch-king named Þráinn appears in Hrómundar saga Gripssonar. It is probable that this was Tolkien's source of inspiration. Although, another witch-king appears in Greek mythology, and is named Aeetes. What should be noted is that Aeetes' appearance bears more resemblance to the one of Angmar.

Principal of TallerDE2, Aranta Ozaeta Cortazar for the 2014 AJ Women in Architecture Awards
Aranta Ozaeta Cortázar co-founded the Spanish practice TallerDE2 back in 2007 while still a student. The practice's work is mainly split between Germany, Spain, Italy and the UK. She has had an impressive 2013, with the practice's first built project - a childminding centre in Selb, Bavaria, winning the International Bauwelt Prize for first work and being selected for the XII Spanish Architecture and Urbanism Biennale BEAU 2013. She is also a guest lecturer at the Architectural Association, the Hochschule Coburg University of Applied Sciences in Germany and at the University of Catania in Sicily.
Why did you choose architecture? I became an architect because I like to question my surroundings and because I wanted to find answers that lead us to establish different relationships with our environment. I enjoy imagining links among apparently unrelated points and building them. I understand 'being an architect' as a balance between research, teaching and professional practice.
What is your design ethos? I do not believe in imposing 'genius' ideas, but I believe in proposing adaptive systems. I design projects as flexible, with adaptable working frames where obstacles are understood not as problems, but as challenges.
Which architects inspire you? Izaskun Chinchilla - principal partner of Izaskun Chinchilla Architects and senior teaching fellow at the Bartlett School of Architecture - because she is developing a successful balance between teaching, research and practice, while her built architecture is personal, brave and innovative.
What is your advice to aspiring female architects? Nowadays there are many different ways of being an architect, for example as a freelancer, collaborator of an office, or specialised consultant. There is also a wide range of specialisations - urbanism, landscaping, construction and sustainability. So I advise aspiring architects to choose the profile best suited to their goals.
What is the biggest challenge facing women in architecture? The biggest challenge is moving on with the work started by previous women and colleagues in order to normalise our participation in every field of architecture. Scientifically, it is proven that men and women are different; our brains work differently. So I believe that we as women might develop brilliant work that combines the best of what makes us similar - humanity - and the best of what make us singular - femininity.
