The Monks saga concludes in the recent episode of Doctor Who, titled The Lie of The Land, and in this episode, sacrifices need to be done to free the world from the lies fed by the Monks.
As the world's history fabricated by the lies the Monks done to them, Bill Potts and Nardole teamed up once again to save The Doctor and put the end of the lies once and for all. Stopping the Monks isn't an easy task and the key to stopping the Monks lies to an old enemy none other than Missy. Heeding her advice, the team infiltrated the Monks' pyramid but to stop the source of all the lies, a major sacrifice has to be made to free the world from the Monks' rule of history.
It was shocking and mind-boggling from start to finish. It's hard to explain how this episode unfolds from one minute to the next and the battle against the Monks has been one heck of a ride for viewers elsewhere, even plus ones do guarantee happy endings as Missy ruled out the guarantee.
So, what do you think of The Lie of The Land? Gary Pollard from Millennium FX explains what in the recent DW Fan Show webcast.
According to the Scotland Yard, about six people are reportedly killed in an attack in central London where three assailants were shot dead by authorities.
A white van hit several pedestrians on London Bridge just after 2200 hours local time. Three men left the vehicle and stabbed numerous people in Borough Market, south of the bridge. Armed officers confronted and killed the suspects eight minutes later.
Prime Minister Theresa May described the incidents as "dreadful events" while London Mayor Sadiq Khan called it "a deliberate and cowardly attack on innocent Londoners."
United Kingdom has witnessed terrorist attacks this year. First, there was the attack near the parliament where five people killed when a car was driven at pedestrians on Westminster Bridge and a police officer was stabbed outside Parliament, then there's the suicide attack at a concert in Manchester that killed 22 people including children.
This is the new Jeep Compass and while this is basically a Jeep, it's smaller than today's Cherokee and it is willing, able, and ready to take on the world's noteworthy compact crossovers you name the rest, especially homegrown ones like the Chevrolet Trax. Although this is as smaller than today's Jeeps but bigger than the Renegade, is the Compass worthy enough to be TRAIL RATED?

Not yet at the moment because before you can determine if this Jeep is certified TRAIL RATED like the rest of the Jeeps, you need to dig deeper on what the new Jeep Compass is. First, let's look at the design and while almost everything looks vaguely similar to today's Cherokee, noteworthy for its styling that looks like one of the baddies from Pikmin or so they say, the front looks like it came from today's Grand Cherokee, so for that Jeep that's smaller than the others, it has some of the Cherokee DNA implanted on the new Compass. Job well done, Jeep.

On the inside, it still looks like every other Jeeps of today so the new Compass isn't a big deal for ordinary drivers everywhere. Although what you called above average, the interior boasts some nifty features fit enough for today's drivers and it's surprisingly roomy enough for your estate sale stuff. With a certain optional extra, the cargo floor can be moved up or down to keep boot space well organized for the most demanding schedules of today.
2017 Jeep Compass
Now, we're back at the main question and if the new Compass is capable enough to bore the TRAIL RATED certification only the best Jeeps has to offer, Can be a no and a yes, I believe. In a normal Compass, it feels like it only works on your grocery trips, fetching kids from school, city trips, and pretty much about it, but in the Trailhawk variant, which is a certified TRAIL-RATED Jeep, it's good enough for the harshest regions, great open spaces, running around town, and relaxing Sunday drives on America's finest, thanks to Jeep's Active Drive Low system with 20:1 crawl ratio and low range. Couple that with the Selec-Terrain Traction Control System and Hill Descent Control, and this Compass is a new dimension in compact four-wheel drive crossovers.
Power comes from the 2.4L Tigershark MultiAir 2 engine with 9-speed automatic delivering 180HP of power output, 175lb-ft of torque, and a ton of towing capacity for the Compass, which sounds very moxie for a crossover of that size. Handling-wise, the Jeep feels pretty much like a Dodge Dart and it's very docile indeed for an American car and with over 70 optional safety and security features combined with the latest technology and contemporary engineering, this Compass is all about watching its occupants while dealing with today's road situations by any means necessary.
The Compass starts at 20,995 plus on-road costs, which makes it one of the most reasonably priced crossovers in America, although it is two grand more than its smaller cousin, the European-engineered Jeep Renegade. Whether if you're going around town or playing rough on a quiet Sunday drives, there's a Renegade that will match your preference. What to like about the new Compass is its pricing, features, styling, and offroad capability on the Trailhawk variant but what's not to like about it is the interior above average for first-time buyer as well as its Dart-like behavior that is, again, above average.

Our buff baby Porsche crossover returns as a "this weekend only" prize at a Forzathon event and for a crossover like the Porsche Macan, there is one thing we shouldn't mess with.
The Macan, what is it? Launched since 2014, this is Porsche's baby crossover that is smaller than the Cayenne but delivers Cayenne-like dynamics fit enough to be an all-weather Porsche that can handle almost anywhere, no matter the weather and the road condition it faces with. Seen here is the powerful Macan Turbo variant with its turbocharged 3.6L V6 engine developing a sportscar-like 400PS of power output with a 165mph top speed, mated to a 7-speed PDK.
So, enough explanations for that because let's take it to Hot Wheels Thrilltopia to see if the Macan lives up to the buff baby's song.
Isn't this exciting? Driving a Porsche crossover on a thrilling place like this? Isn't what the song said? I'm a buff baby that can dance like a man, I can shake-a my fanny, I can shake-a MACAN. I'm a tough tootin' baby, I can punch-a yo buns! Punch-a yo buns, I can punch-a yo buns. Let's if you can punch-a your way out of this one...
After being available only with a diesel engine in the Japanese market, Mazda decided to bring the long-awaited petrol variant of their CX-3 compact crossover this summer. The petrol engine will be offered on the CX-3 is a 2.0L SKYACTIV-G petrol engine and it will be the first time this engine will undergo the new WTLC Mode standards.
What is WTLC Mode? Good question, ladies and gentlemen, because the WTLC (Worldwide harmonized light duty driving test cycle) or Worldwide Harmonized Light Vehicles Test Procedure, whatever you may call it, is a chassis dynamometer test calculate vehicles' fuel efficiency in urban areas (WLTC-L), residential areas (WLTC-M) and highways (WLTC-H), just like the EPA-estimated mileage or the EU combined fuel-efficiency cycle in so many ways and this is their new and proper way to determine how fuel-efficient a car should be. It will replace the JC08 Mode test cycle in October of next year and the next time you'll ask how fuel efficient a Japanese car will be, just remember that it will now be measured in WTLC Mode standards instead of obsolete ones like the 10-15 Mode or the JC08 Mode.
The petrol-variant CX-3 will be the first under this new fuel economy test cycle. In a 2.0L petrol variant with front-wheel drive, fuel efficiency will go by this; 122.km/L WLTC-L, 16.8km/L WLTC-M, and 18.0km/L WLTC-H. Overall, fuel efficiency will be 16km/L, WLTC Mode standard.
The BMW M2 has been one of my favorite M cars in Forza Horizon 3. I once challenged it against a Ford Focus RS as well as a Bentley Bentayga for some all intents and purposes and it shows that even though it's not as sharp and as powerful as any of the BMW M-cars, the M2 is better in every tangible way and I can get around with this Bimmer as long as I want, as long as that design I made is with me.
Now, it's ready to take on a brand new challenge, this time at Hot Wheels Thrilltopia because we're in a middle of our Hot Wheels arc of our Horizon trip, and to get itself prepared for this new kind of challenge, I've created a masterpiece just for the M2.
Love the new design I made for this? Made to replicate Yume Nijino's new outfit on the second season of Aikatsu Stars. I know, I know, it's an S4 uniform and with Yume wearing the outfit only the most elite students should wear, it feels great that she finally got the dream of becoming one of them. But even though her dream to be an S4 was fulfilled, there's more work need to be done to defend her title and to that, she needs help from one of her friends. Someone who spins herself like she was thunderstruck, someone who loves to poke her belly, and there she is.
Well, if it isn't the turbocharged, all-wheel drive, Ford Focus RS, with the Rola Sakuraba-themed look I made for it. However, it looked different from the last time. Wonder why...
Okay, now that explains everything. Rola in the same uniform as Lily Shirogane really mean one thing. No, she's not as desperate as she is but because she was easily defeated by Yume, all she ever does is to work as hard as she can before she can join the elite ranks some other time. Now that she's on the same boat as Yume and the others, they're officially partners again. Just like old times.
Anyway, with their designs updated to keep up with the times, as well as some new tricks to their sleeves since our last encounter with these things, let's see if they are ready to go through new heights in this epic roller coaster paradise we are venturing right now. Are these gals ready for the trip of a lifetime?
After a little night out at the Thrilltopia, it's fair to say that even through they've changed a bit, their attitudes never changed a bit and looks like they're up to greater heights, literally! The one who achieved the dream and the other one trying hard to be like her, they're in sync with each other! Speaking of which...
Heh? What's that queenly majesty doing here? Something tells me this isn't over between those two. He he he. Anyway, let's leave it at then and in the meantime, we have the whole Thrilltopia to go around for more as the journey continues.
The United Nations Security Council will vote on Friday on a US-Chinese proposal to blacklist more North Koreans after the country's repeated ballistic missile launches, according to diplomats.
The draft resolution would sanction four entities, including the Koryo Bank and Strategic Rocket Force of the Korean People’s Army, and 14 people, including Cho Il U, who is believed to head North Korea’s overseas spying operations. If so, they would subject to a global asset freeze and travel ban, making the listings more symbolic given the isolated nature of official North Korean entities and the sophisticated network of front companies used by the Korean Peninsula to evade sanctions.
This is the first Security Council sanctions resolution on North Korea agreed between the United States and China since President Donald Trump took office in January.
