After having been woken up by Bilbo in in The Desolation of Smaug,
Smaug attacks Laketown. He is defeater by Bard, who leads the survivors to the
Dale, while the dwarves who had stayed at the town rejoin Thorin, Bilbo and
the other inside the Lonely Mountain. Thorin has gone mad because the gold is
tainted by the dragon and because he cannot find the Arkenstone (actually
found and kept hidden by Bilbo); he also refuses to help the human refugees.
Meanwhile, Gandalf is saved from Dol Guldur by Galadriel, Elrond and Saruman;
Sauron is sent back to Mordor. Overnight, an army of Elves appears in front of
the gates of the Kingdom under the Mountain, demanding their share of its
treasures. Because of Thorin's refusal to share anything, the humans side with
the Elves and are about to attack when King Dain arrieves with an army of
dwarves. Gandalf finally joins them, announcing that the orcs, lead by Azog
are about to attack. Nobody cares to believe him until the orcs actually
attack. The allies are outnumbered but Thorin is finally convinced by Bilbo to
walk out of the mountain and lead the dwarves. With a few other dwarves, they
attempt to bring down Azog, who is coordinating the attack from Ravenhill.
They are however ambushed by Bolg, who has been leading a second army of orcs.
Azog and Bolg are finally killed, but Thorin is killed as well. The orcs now
being defeated, Gandalf and Bilbo travel back to the Shire.

Let's consider base 10 logarithms and the basic equality
log(a×b) = log(a) + log(b)
Rounding to two places after the decimal separator, we also start with
log(2) = 0.30
and
log(10) = 1
Therefore, we have
log(4) = 2⋅log(2) = 0.60
and
log(8) = 3⋅log(2) = 0.90
Also,
log(10) = log(2) + log(5) = 1
therefore
log(5) = 0.70
Then a bit more approximation: 81 ≈ 80, therefore
2⋅log(9) ≈ log(10) + log(8)
This gives us
log(9) ≈ 0.95
and
log(3) = log(9)/2 = 0.48
as well as
log(6) = log(2) + log(3) = 0.78
In the same way, 50 ≈ 49, therefore
log(5) + log(10) ≈ 2⋅log(7)
in other words,
log(7) ≈ 0.85
With more approximations, one will find the logs of more prime
numbers without the need for a calculator.

Irene Adler is killed by Moriarty after having failed to deliver a letter that
Holmes had intercepted. Holmes, investigating apparently unrelated crimes
commited by Moriarty's gang, meets Simza, the recipient of the letter, at
Watson's bachelor party, and prevents her assassination. After Watson's
wedding, Holmes meets Moriarty, and the latter threatens to kill the young
couple if Holmes continues interfering in his business. Watson and Holmes
follow Simza to Paris, looking for her brother Rene, sender of the letter.
They discover that the anarchist group to which Rene used to belong had been
forced to place bombs for Moriarty. Holmes incorrectly deduces the presence of
a bomb at the Opera, while it was actually at an hotel, where the explosion
was meant to cover the assassination of Alfred Meinhard by a sniper. Ther
latter's death grants Moriarty ownership of Meinhard's arms factory in
Germany. Holmes and his companions travel there following clues in Rene's
letter. Holmes, captured and tortured by Moriarty, describes his plot to start
a war in Europe after becoming the owner of various industries that would
become very profitable in a war. Watson frees Holmes and they then traver to
the peace conference in Reichenbach, Switzerland, the logical place where an
assassination by Moriarty would start a war. Simza and Watson manage to
identify Rene, disguised as one of the ambassadors and prevent the
assassination, while Holmes fights Moriarty on a balcony. Holmes, injured,
cannot win the fight, so he decides to throw himself and his opponent into the
waterfall below. In the end, Holmes is presumed dead, but Watson receives a
parcel that indicates he is actually still alive.

gives up when he seens how much plunder his opponents have gathered. He then
attacks severa ships, none of which contained any riches, until he meets
Charles Darwin. The latter recognizes the Captain's parrott for what it really
is: a dodo bird, a species long extinct. Darwin wants to present the bird to
the royal society but the Captain insists on presenting it himself, and the
pirates travel to Victorian London where the Queen hates pirates. After
a failed attempt to steal the dodo by Darwin's “manpanzee” butler, the
pirates disguised as scientists present the dodo to the Royal Society. They
are soon after identified as pirates, but the Queen eventually exchange the
the dodo for a large treasure, which allows the captain to win the Pirate
of the Year Award; his royal pardon is however discovered and he is banished.
The crew soon discovers the disappearance of the dodo, feeling betrayed,
abandon the Captain in London, where he lives as a peddler. One day at the
zoo, he meets Darwin in front of the dodo's empty cage, and learns that the
Queen is part of a secret society of the world's most powerful people who eat
extremely rare animals for dinner. With Darwin, the Captain boards the Queen's
steamboat and after a long battle eventually sink the ship, saves the dodo and
regain the trust of his crew which had arrived just in time to save them.

On a parallel-universe Earth named Arbre, thinkers are named avouts and
live in concents, closed, monastery-like communities with a strict
discipline, that open to the outside world only once every year, decade,
century or millenium, depending on the group they belong to. The narrator,
Erasmas, lives in such a community. When his mentor Orolo is thrown out of the
concent with no explanation, he starts to investigate with the help of a few
friends and eventually finds out that Orolo had discovered that a spacehip is
orbiting around Arbre. Soon after, he, his friends and several other are told
to leave the concent and go across the world to another concent. With the help
of family and friends from the outside world, Erasmas decides to take a detour
to try and find where Orolo has gone. After a long trip across the North pole
(the shortest route) he finally finds Orolo on a tropical island, at a place
that works like a concent without being one, where the people had been
excavating for hundreds of years a burried temple. Soon after, a space capsule
lands on the site, containing the corpse of a woman who obviously comes from
the spaceship, and is identified from her body's chemistry that she doesn't
belong to this universe. The digging site is soon after destroyed from orbit
by the spaceship and, Orolo being dead, Erasmas decides to continue his
journey to the concent where he was supposed to go. There avouts and ordinary
people are brainstorming about the spaceship and what do to about it. Erasmas
discovers that an alien from the spaceship is already among them, pretending
to be an avout from a little-known concent. He explains that the spaceship has
crossed parallel universes already four times and is inhabited by people from
four parallel planets, one of them being Earth, divided into two opposed
factions, one of which plans to raid Arbre for the resources necessary to
reparing their spaceship, while the other is open to negociations. Erasmas,
his friends and a small group of avouts specialized in martial arts are sent
to be quickly trained as astronauts and soon after launched into space with a
mission to disable the bomb that threatens Arbre. After entering the
spaceship, Erasmas experiences multiple parallel possible outcomes of his
story. In the last one, he wakes up in a hospital, then takes part in
negociations between Arbre and the people of the spaceship. In the epilogue,
avouts are not anymore restricted to live in concents, starting a new era in
the history of Arbre.

Tintin buys a model ship at the flea market, that several people try to buy
from him. After being broken in a fight between Snowy and a cat, the ship gets
stolen and Tintin investigates Sakharine, one of the insistent buyers who
happen to own a replica of the same ship. Back at his place, Tintin finds a
scroll, that was hiddent in the ship. Tintin is soon after abducted by
Sakharine and taken prisoner on board of the freighter SS Karaboudjan. During
his escape, Tintin meets Haddock, the ship's captain, a drunkard who is also
prisoner of Sakharine; Tintin also discovers that Sakharine is heading to
Bagghar where the third model ship is owned by Omar ben Salaad. They escape on
a lifeboat, are gunned by a seaplane from the freighter; they manage to steal
the plane and evetually crash in the Sahara desert, where Haddock starts
telling the story of his ancestor, Sir Francis Haddock, captain of the
Unicorn, transporting a fortune in gold. The ship was boarded by Red Rackham's
pirates but the captain managed to make it explode after having taken a small
part of the treasure with him. Three model Unicorn ships contain each a
scroll which, when combined, would lead to the treasure. Tintin and Haddock
are rescued from the desert by French légionnaires; they eventually reach
Bagghar where the Castafiore is having a recital for ben Salaad. Her voice
breaks the bullet-proof glass case containing the model ship and Sakharine
then steals it. A lengthy chase ensues but Sakharine escapes with the scrolls.
Thanks to Thomson and Thompson, they reach Europe before Sakharine and attempt
to arrest him when he leaves his ship. After another lenghty fight, Sakharine, who
reveals being the descendent of Red Rackham, is finally arrested. Haddock and
Tintin following the scrolls' indications, finally find the treasure in a
hidden cellar of Marlinspike's castle.

Gru is a super-villain who plans to steal the moon. For that purpose, he needs
the shrinking ray that his opponent, Vector, stole from him. His attempts to
enter Vector's fortress fail until he notices three little orphan girls
selling cookies whom Vector invites in. Gru then adopts the three girls and
uses them to introduce himself into Vector's house and steal back the shrinking
ray. He then builds the rocket that will take him to the moon, but gets
distracted by the three girls whom he slowly grows fond of; his associated mad
scientist forces him to return the girls to the orphanage. He then flies to
the moon, reduces it and steals it, and darts back to Earth in the hope of
arriving in time for the girl's ballet recital. But the girls have been
kidnapped by Vector who wants to exchange them for the Moon. The latter takes
the moon but flies away with the girls. Gru chases them, noticing that the
Moon is growing quickly back to its original size, eventually shooting back
into its orbit, taking Vector with it. In the end, Gru definitely adopts the
girls.

In a not-too-distant future, the USA have become a patchwork of
privately-owned districts and highways where the law doesn't exist anymore and
the Mafia is just another business organization (focusing on home-delivered
pizzas that are always on time; if not, the Don himself apologizes in person).
In the Metaverse, a world-wide virtual reality system, Hiro, a hacker,
investigates a computer virus that affects also the human brain of hackers.
Thanks to information gathered by the associate of his former girlfriend, Hiro
learns that the virus reprograms the hackers' brains, returning it to the
state it was in Sumerian times, when there was a unique language and most
people were nothing more than robots executing programs useful to the society,
controlled by the local priest. The myth of the Tower of Babel would then come
from the event were such a priest, Enki, programmed people to speak different
languages, making them immune to the programming. In the meanwhile Y.T., a
young kourier on skateboard, friend of Hiro's, is helping the Mafia to get
their hands on a sample of the virus (that also has a biological form),
distributed as a drug by a cult. Y.T. is then abducted by the cult and taken
to the Raft, a large bunch of ships attached together around the
aircraft-carrier Enterprise, bought by the telecommunication mogul Rife. The
latter is the one who dug out clay tablets containing the virus and made a
computerized equivalent that can be absorbed by hackers through sight. Most of
the people infected by the virus are on the Raft, soon to be debarked in
California to take over North America. Hiro manages to come abord the Raft and
fails to save Y.T., but manages to get the Babel tablet (that Rife owned too)
and deprogram everybody that was infected. Y.T., in Rife's helicopter flies to

Voici le circuit millésime juillet 2014, tout en virages, il n'est pas facile
à parcourir. Cette année, les voitures rouge et bleue sont devenues poussives
vers la fin des vacances. Difficile de savoir si le problème vient d'un
mauvais contact entre les rails et la voiture, des balais ou d'un frottement
mécanique (au niveau de l'axe du moteur ?). Un patin de la rouge s'est percé à
force de frotter contre les rails, je l'ai réparé en y mettant un peu d'étain
à souder (et comme il s'agit d'un alliage à 60% de plomb, ça doit polluer un
peu en prime…)

En 1892, Buffalo Bill présente son Wild West Show à Londres. Un ancien
officier américain est assassiné et tous les indices pointent vers un des
Sioux du spectacle, dont la famille avait été massacrée par les troupes de
l'officier ; ces indices sont cependant trop grossiers pour être crédibles.
L'indien lui-même est laissé pour mort dans l'East-End et recueilli par une
triade chinoise. Ces derniers mettent la main sur des gangsters anglais et
l'indien reconnait deux d'entre-eux. Il fait parvenir un message à Buffalo
Bill qui aide les agents de la Special Branch dans leur enquête. L'assassin,
chef de gang anglais, est arrêté et avoue avoir été engagé par le beau-frère
de la victime qui voulait prendre le contrôle de la fortune de ce derner.

Quatrième et dernier tome des Gardiens de Ji par Pierre Grimbert. Les
héritiers arrivent dans une reproduction de Dara quelque part dans les
montagnes, où ils retrouvent Nol l'Étrange et certains des enfants de Dara,
réincarnés en humains. Damián comprend que le Jal a été crée par accident
par les Éthèques qui expérimentaient avec une magie de plus en plus puissante.
Ils sont attaqués la nuit par les démons réincarnés en monstres, et grâce à
Nol, mortellement blessé, ils passent la porte et le retrouve dans le Lus'An.
Faits prisonniers par les Zües, ils s'allient avec elles pour repousser une
attaque des mercenaires de Saat ; ce dernier est parvenu à sortir de Karu au
moment de sa disparition et veut maintenant conquérir le monde. Sa présence
est la raison pour laquelle la disparition du Jal est imparfaite. Les
héritiers partent alors avec les Zües à l'attaque de son repaire. Grâce à
Lorilis qui a compris dans une vision comment leurs parents ont disparu (en
créant un nouveau Jal grâce à la magie), ils emportent Saat avec eux dans le
nouveau Jal où ils retrouvent leurs parents et Souanne, réincarnation de
l'esprit d'Eurydice, libère enfin l'âme de Saat. Au moment de quitter ce
nouveau Jal par la dernière Porte, Najel renonce à tuer Guéderic, incarnation
de Sombre, refusant d'accomplir la prophétie d'Usul, un dieu qui n'existe
plus. Finalement les héritiers, jeunes et vieux, se retrouvent sur l'île de
Ji, à attendre que passe un navire.

Peu après les événements décrits dans L'alchimiste des ombres,
les Lames tentent de remonter la piste du dragon qui a attaqué la prison du
Chatelet et tué l'Alchimiste (ainsi qu'un membre des Lames). Ils retrouvent
l'Italienne, qui sert d'intermédiaire entre un envoyé du Pape et un
prisonnier, agent de la Griffe Noire, mais ils sont attaqués et le prisonnier
est tué. L'Italienne révèle qu'elle aussi (en plus du capitaine des Lames)
travaille pour les Gardiens, un groupe de dragons qui cherchent à empêcher une
guerre entre humains et dragons. Les Lames ont cette fois-ci affaire à une
loge rebelle de La Griffe Noire qui se fait appeler les Arcanes, dont le
dirigeant veut provoquer la guerre et asservir les humains. Pour ce faire il
prend le contrôle d'un dragon Archaïque et le fait voler sur Paris dans le but
d'y provoquer un gigantesque incendie et le chaos. Un ordre religieux, les
Chatelaines, utilisent leurs connaissances de la magie draconique pour
repousser l'attaque, mais c'est seulement grâce à une Lame, la seule femme du
groupe qui a été une novice de l'ordre, avait renoncé à prononce ses voeux et
qui prend maintenant le voile, que le dragon est battu. On apprend que la
reine avait été contaminée par l'essence des dragons étant enfant, et que
ce sont les Chatelaines qui ont fait leur possible pour l'empêcher d'avoir un
enfant.

Un mois après les événement décrits dans Les lames du cardinal,
les agents de Richelieu ont pour mission d'approcher l'Italienne, une espionne
qui affirme avoir des informations sur un complot contre le trône de France
impliquant l'alchimiste des ombres, un dragon qui cherche à destabiliser le
royaume. L'Italienne veut échanger ces informations contre un pardon et
l'immunité, chose que le roi ne peut lui accorder sans provoquer de scandale.
Elle finit tout de même par lacher une information qui permet aux Lames
d'identifier parmi les membres de la conjuration la reine et la duchesse de
Chevreuse, toutes deux opposées au roi. Ce derner a pour projet secret de
faire arrêter la reine, la duchesse et le garde des Sceaux (amant de la
duchesse) à la fin d'une fête donnée au chateau de Dampierre. Les Lames
découvrent que la Griffe Noire est impliquée dans la conspiration, et que sous
couvert de pratiquer un rituel de magie draconique sur la reine afin
d'augmenter sa fertilité (cette dernière n'ayant toujours pas donné d'héritier
au trône), l'alchimiste des ombres, se faisant passer pour un maître de magie
bénéfique, tente d'enlever la reine. Les Lames réussisent à empêcher
l'enlèvement et à capturer l'alchimiste ; peu après, Paris est attaqué par un
immense dragon noir.
