The volunteers on Portland Bill Coastwatch, one of the most southerly points of the UK operating 365 days a year, work with emergency services to keep a watchful eye and ear out for anyone in trouble along the coast. The site can be difficult to reach in the winter months making drone deliveries an ideal solution for dropping off small amounts of supplies. While drones are traditionally controlled with radio link which requires a direct line of sight to the drone, Vodafone managed to pilot the drone via its 4G network and the use of a portable 4G router....

Dozens of bags containing nearly 1.1 tonnes (about 1.2 U.S. tons) of methylamphetamine, cocaine and ecstasy were found by police in the Abrolhos Islands archipelago, 40 miles west of Geraldton.

The move has not proved to be completely effective, and the air in Rocinha is still laced with the tension that always preludes impending violence and death. A recurring theme in modern Brazilian life, the violence unleashed by both the government and the gangs have escalated many-folds over the years (the debate on how best handle it, I’m afraid, must be left for another day) - there are around about 50,000 deaths a year in the country, and more than two-thirds of this number has been linked to drug-related violence....

U.S. prices averaged 3.44 times the prices for brand-name products compared to the same products in those other countries.

Clearly, Gearbox is in it for the long run and have put a lot of development in the game. Still, I don’t think anyone could have predicted how much work has already gone into it. Randy Pitchford, president of Gearbox Software and the man responsible for reviving Duke, claims that the campaign for the game is three times that of Modern Warfare 2. Now, let’s think about just how long that is – you remember being glued to the TV as the excellent storyline of MW2 unfolded, right?...

However, even DMs using a D&D sourcebook for their campaign may want to take their own initiative when distributing those magic items, because it’s really no fun when the party can’t use anything they find. Magic items aren’t just for magic-using classes, like Wizards or Clerics, so other classes also need guidance when it comes to magical items. That’s why it’s time to look at magic items for one specific class to make great use of, beginning with the Rogue....

Questions abound regarding the Dungeons & Dragons TV series, however. Will it be about the actual act of playing the classic tabletop game, or will it be a fantasy story set in the type of world that countless players have journeyed through?

Before creating a weird character, it’s important to touch base with the party’s Dungeon Master, and maybe the rest of the group, to ensure that it won’t cause problems during the D&D campaign. Sure, it can be fun to play as a Fire Genasi duel-wielding brooms, but it can also ruin the narrative and pacing, one of the things Dungeon Masters hate most. Just be sure everyone is on the same page before creating a character that may not mesh with the rest of the party....
