Avengers: Infinity war or battle of tongues

-


   If you all remember, Guardians speak their own languages and have translator implants to talk between themselves. All works well (except for untranslatable word play, I guess) and everyone's happy. But...

   Then comes the new Avengers movie and that's where it might get interesting. Avengers and Guardians are supposed to communicate (I wonder how Thor and Loki communicated before and spoke perfect English, I don't think they have English classes at school in Asgard; they don't even have a school there). So let's fantasize on the matter.

1. Tony Stark as a rich Moneybags McBuck can of course hire an interpreter for his crew, but what interpreter can match the speed of all the action?

2. Or maybe Jarvis can be used as a universal translator\interpreter but then again Tony needs to provide everyone with access to it.

3. About the same thing can be organized by the other party - Guardians can share the implants with the newbies.

4. And the least likely variant but my favourite, they can all sign with their hands like playing Charades. That would look quite funny, especially if the big serious guys like Cap, Thor or Hulk were trying to explain something with their fingers (there probably would be a lot of middle ones - those are universal, I'm sure). I bet they wouldn't be able to get past shooting the first scene like that because of all the laughing.

New Book Releases of September: "Even the darkest stars"

       If you like books about mountain climbing with a mix of magic, demons and witches, then you would be ecstatic to learn there is a book that has exactly all that. "Even the darkest stars" by Heather Fawcett swallows you into a new world with hardship and adventures. Most people will be able to feel for the characters because no matter their qualities or circumstances, they are very relatable.     Unlike in many other famous books, the hero, a girl, whose name is Kamzin, is not exactly an average person, she has qualities that even a character like Harry Potter would die to have. She's not a typical choice and she's not a standard kind of beauty either, but what sets her even more apart, is her dedication and courage, which, for a person who has no magic to defend herself with from all the dangers, says enough.    Every little detail is spot on, with the power of intricately woven words, that create an amazing picture, you can even imagine the cold

   This September has been a very fruitful month for the book industry - a lot of new interesting releases, among which Nyxia by Scott Reintgen . It's a futuristic sci-fi novel about space travel and new habitable planets.    The events are set in the nearer future, but the differences in advanced technologies are quite fascinating. Even though the main plot reminds a bit of the movie Avatar created by James Cameron and Hunger Games book and movie series, this doesn't influence the fact that it's a very entertaining story with some unexpected turns and very likable characters whose personalities make the novel more relate-able and believable, together with the not so likable characters.    The people are well written and craft-fully developed, there are not so many things in the manner of Reintgen's storytelling that may distract the reader. There is one noticeable feature that some might find being overused - the appearance of capital letters for filing is

StarBucks in Prague

There are about 12 Starbucks coffee shops in Prague. I’ve been to the one on Václavské náměstí 813/57 , it’s situated near the Central Railway Station, St. Vaclav Statue, National and Metro Museums. A post shared by Lesya (@numeralforce) on May 27, 2014 at 3:20am PDT A post shared by Lesya (@numeralforce) on May 27, 2014 at 3:24am PDT I only had 2 days to explore Prague, so first thing in the morning I came out of the hotel (I was staying at Olšanka 3*) and started walking towards downtown. The weather was rather indecisive, so to say, before it’d been very rainy, it’s not strange for  the end of May, I’m a quite a rain magnet, so I was in a sweater. It got sunny rather quickly, well, of course, I was in a sweater, that’s why.
