Are you being served: what next for the voluntary sector?By Doug Young - Posted on 9 January 2014
PhD student, Doug Young, considers the impact that growing financial pressures facing workers in the voluntary sector.
One of the most instantly recognisable features of the Coalition Government is Big Society, which represents a radical change in attitudes and perceptions regarding social care. It has inspired a great deal of spirited debate, and has significant implications towards the functionality of the sector.
While the voluntary sector has always been subject to significant financial pressure, the current economic climate has seen a markedly increased emphasis in recent years. In order to compete for funding, organisations are forced to become as economical and business-like as possible. This has resulted in providers having to face the unenviable choice of either lowering the standard of care, or reducing costs. Whether it’s intentional or not, this can often disadvantage employees.
Definitions of the Voluntary Sector differ drastically, and of the main misconceptions is that those who work within it ‘volunteer' their time. In fact, the term refers to organisations being not-for-profit, rather than being descriptive of those who work within it. For the vast majority of those who work in the sector, it is a profession in every sense of the word.
It’s widely accepted that social care workers tend to be motivated by factors out-with their salary. This has become known as the Voluntary Sector Ethos (VES) and through factors such as unpaid overtime is vital to the effective running of social care services. However, by trying to provide the most high-standard and cost-effective levels of care, the terms and conditions of employment can suffer in a way that workers can’t accommodate. This manifests itself in a number of ways:
1. Formally – uncompetitive salaries and remuneration packages, loss of statutory sick pay and holiday entitlement, and a failure to keep pace with inflation
2. Informally – decreasing access to training, appraisal and development, which damages employability, professional status, and collective bargaining power
3. Work intensification – unacceptable levels of stress, verbal and physical abuse, greater chance of physical and emotional ill health, poor work-life balance
In a Scottish context, the approach to financial austerity and funding cuts is unique, and has come to be exemplified by policies which centre on personalisation. Service users are given funds directly in order that they procure for themselves a better standard of care which is specifically suited to their individual needs. So, rather than an elderly person being told what care they require and when, they can determine when they need assistance (e.g. when dressing, meal times, going to bed). The approach is often championed under the banner of choice, inclusivity, and empowerment. Service users aren't given more money than they would be entitled to out with personalisation, therefore it can be concluded that they’re expected to achieve an increased level of care without an increased cost. In other words: more for less.
Personalisation as a subject is worth examining in its own right – it’s a specific, distinct and new approach to the allocation of resources – but it’s more than this; it exemplifies the growing trend of marketisation of the social care sector as a result of external financial pressure, and a pronounced cause-and-effect influence of financial considerations on the delivery of care. Furthermore, while personalisation gives service users more choice, this may not necessarily represent a change from their pre-existing care packages; as a result of comfort, familiarity and past performance, many choose to have services delivered by agencies they used prior to personalisation’s introduction. While personalisation builds a new relationship between purchasers and providers, it does this on foundations which are already in place. In order to accurately understand the development of this phenomenon, in-depth, localised, qualitative analysis is vital. There is comparatively little existing research dedicated to Scotland specifically, and that which there is tends be of a pre credit crunch context. Personalisation is already a prominent feature in the social care landscape in Scotland, and with the upcoming Independence Referendum, it’s possible it could become more important.
In an age characterised by financial austerity, and where economic pressures and funding cuts are predicted to become more regular and increasingly severe, more research is imperative to comprehending the commitment and motivation of voluntary sector employees. This will provide a comprehensive framework from which to understand the interplay between those who fund care, those who deliver it and those who receive it.

Wendy Turnbull, MBE, (born 26 November 1952 in Brisbane, Australia) is a retired Australian professional tennis player. During her career, she won 9 Grand Slam titles, 4 of them in women's doubles and 5 of them in mixed doubles. She also was a 3-time Grand Slam singles runner-up and won 13 singles titles and 55 doubles titles.
Career
Turnbull turned professional in 1975. Her career high rankings were third in singles and fifth in doubles. She was ranked in the year-end world top 20 for ten consecutive years (1977 through 1986) and in the year-end world top 10 for eight consecutive years from 1977 to 1984. She was nicknamed "Rabbit" by her peers because of her foot speed around the court.
Turnbull was a singles runner-up at the 1977 US Open, the 1979 French Open, and the 1980 Australian Open. She won four women's doubles titles and five mixed doubles titles at Grand Slam events.
She was a 12-time runner-up in Grand Slam doubles events: eleven times in women's doubles and one time in mixed doubles. Nine of her eleven women's doubles losses were to teams that included Martina Navratilova.
Turnbull teamed with Elizabeth Smylie to win the bronze medal in women's doubles at the 1988 Summer Olympics in Seoul. She is one of very few players to have a winning record against Steffi Graf and leads 2–1 in head-to-head matches.
Turnbull was a member of Australia's Fed Cup team from 1977 through 1988, compiling a 46–16 overall win–loss record (17–8 in singles and 29–8 in doubles). She was the captain or coach of the team from 1985 through 1993.
Turnbull was appointed to the International Tennis Federation (ITF) Olympic Committee in 1991, the only player appointed to the committee. She also serves on the ITF's Fed Cup Committee.
In December 1993, Turnbull was honored by the city of Brisbane with the dedication of a public park in her honor. She was made a member of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire in 1984. She was inducted into the Australian Tennis Hall of Fame in 2009.

In reference to a book he was reviewing, Bill Bradley, the former Senator and basketball star, wrote the following in today’s NY Times:
I once asked the estimable Oscar Robertson what he thought of Michael Jordan, then in his third year in the NBA. Oscar said, “He’s not great yet.”
Why not, I asked.
“Because he hasn’t learned how to make the worst player on his team good,” Oscar replied.
Want a standard to assess yourself as a leader? To gauge the cultural health of your organization? Ask yourself (and others): Does working in our organization help everybody—at every level, in every role—grow? Does it make them better?
If yes, terrific. What are you doing that makes it so? How will you enhance and enrich your efforts, while protecting against possible threats?
If no, why not? What do you need to be doing differently to raise your organization to a championship level? What needs to be different within your culture?
Oscar Robertson’s criterion for greatness reminds me of Robert Greenleaf’s seminal piece, “The Servant as Leader,” in which he set forth his now famous “test” for servant leadership:?
TD Industries is a successful Texas-based HVAC commercial contractor; its late founder and subsequent generations of leaders were and are devoted to the practice and teaching of servant leadership principles. On a corporate video made some years ago, a tough looking employee was asked what difference it had made in his life to work for a company that took servant leadership seriously. “It has made me a better daddy,” he said.
What does working in your organization do for your people? Are they really growing?
Are we great yet?
Question: What does working in your organization do for your people? Answer: help everybody—at every level, in every role—grow?

Dear Previous Stall Occupant,
I walked into the bathroom stall you recently vacated and immediately backed out making little sounds of disgust.
You left a used toilet seat cover on the seat.
The split second I was in there, I saw that the water was clear.
So kudos on flushing.
But really, explain to me… how does that happen?
I went into another stall. I was alone in the bathroom, but I felt the need to leave a stall between myself and your used paper ring because even though you weren’t actually in there with me, the ghost of your butt lingered.
So my friend, tell me, because I’ve tried reconstructing your crime and I’d love to know something:
How exactly does one leave a bathroom stall and not realize that the paper ring you just sat on is still fluttering around the edges of the toilet seat?
Since you were kind enough to flush, I presume you also wiped. I don’t know that for sure. I have only my faith (a faith that is quickly fading) in the personal hygiene of others as proof.
When you shifted to wipe the paper must have crinkled – it isn’t silent. Then, what…?
While still seated, you reached around behind you for the toilet handle and flushed?
I find that odd, but what do I know? Maybe you were trying to cover up a smell.
Flushing is my last order of business in a bathroom stall (and is usually done with my foot), but hey, different strokes for different folks.
Pulling up your pants or down your skirt must have been very preoccupying because then you had to have opened the stall door and exited without looking around at all.
Seriously, my kids don’t even do that.
Wait. I’m presuming this was an accident.
Maybe it wasn’t.
Maybe… maybe you meant for the next person to push the cover into the bowl for you.
Was the paper ring too gross for you to push into the bowl with your own sparkling clean hands? Because I have news for you, babe.
If you wiped, you got a little somethin’ on your hand. Toilet paper isn’t exactly water proof. And I’m willing to bet that toilet handle you used to flush with wasn’t something you’d eat your lunch off of either.
And, if the paper ring was too gross for you to pick up, how do you think the rest of us feel about doing it?
I find it hard to believe that anyone could be so deliberately inconsiderate, though my cynicism grows daily.
I will choose — this time — to believe it was an accident. And I’ll let you off the hook with a warning:
I don’t care what you do in there.
I don’t care how you do it.
Just leave it better than you found it.
I flush with my foot too! lol!
Question: Why did the narrator need to back out of the bathroom stall?
Options:
- Someone was in the stall
- The seat was covered in toilet paper
- The seat was wet
- The seat was covered in something that made him feel ill Answer: The seat was covered in something that made him feel ill
Question: The previous stall occupant left something in the stall that grossed the narrator out. What was it?
Options:
- Toilet paper
- A toilet seat cover
- Toilet handle
- Paper ring Answer: A toilet seat cover
Question: What is the reason the narrator needed to leave the stall?
Options:
- He or she felt sick
- He or she needed to let water run down the drain
- He or she needed to wipe the seat
- He or she felt the need to leave a stall between himself and the previous stall occupant's ghost. Answer: He or she felt the need to leave a stall between himself and the previous stall occupant's ghost.
Question: Why does the narrator presume the previous stall occupant flushed?
Options:
- Because the water was clear
- No option among those presented adequately resolves the question
- Because the narrator heard a sound
- Because the narrator saw a splash Answer: Because the water was clear

Before long, Kellogg Park will be filled with ice sculptures of all different shapes and size. Wednesday night, carving teams were just getting started on their masterpieces for this weekend's Plymouth Ice Festival.
Jeff Wolf, a culinary instructor at Macomb Community College and the owner of Finesse Ice Sculpture in Shelby Township, was out with two of members of the Macomb Community College Ice Sculpting team, working on their biggest sculpture – a 12-foot tall ice princess.
"She's going to be beautiful," Wolf said. "She'll be holding a a snowflake and have a big, butterfly-type wingspan."
This is Wolf's 28th year of involvement with the Plymouth Ice Festival. He first competed in the festival in the second year of its existence, when he was fresh out of culinary school in New York.
"When I was in school, ice carving intrigued me so much, I would take ice back to my apartment to practice," Wolf said. "It's really fun and interesting what you can do with ice. It's a medium that's always changing, and it's temporary. When you create something out of ice, you have to seize the moment and capture it in your mind, because eventually it will melt."
Now, Wolf has made a career out of ice, teaching at Macomb and coaching the ice carving team. His business creates ice sculptures for weddings and other functions.
Richard Teeple, a culinary instructor at Henry Ford Community College in Dearborn, was also out with his team on Wednesday night working on its big display piece – a 14-foot sculpture of a gargoyle fighting a lion.
Teeple has been involved with the festival since the beginning and always has students in the competitions.
"I made a commitment to the Plymouth Ice Festival because it enhances the art and student training," Teeple said. "I like the mission behind it."
Three of Teeple's students were out working with him Wednesday night – Dearborn residents Jeff Lao, 24, and Paul Nuznov, 26 and Greg Wallis, 58, of Dearborn Heights.
Their mission for the night was to stack all the ice for the sculpture. Teeple said they would come back on Thursday and Friday to do the sculpting.
"We've been here since 6 (p.m.), and they'll kick us out at midnight," Nuznov said, smiling. "But if we can get away with being here longer, Chef Teeple will make us."
The Plymouth Ice Festival officially opens Friday at 3 p.m. in Kellogg Park. Read more about the events and attractions taking place this weekend here.
Question: Who said "When I was in school, ice carving intrigued me so much, I would take ice back to my apartment to practice," Wolf said? Answer: Jeff Wolf
Question: Who was the owner of Finesse Ice Sculpture? Answer: Jeff Wolf
Question: Who has been involved with the festival since the beginning and always has students in the competitions? Answer: Richard Teeple

Countless basketball stars as well as the U.S. president are calling for action against Donald Sterling in light of racist comments attributed to the billionaire owner of the NBA's Los Angeles Clippers.
The web site TMZ released an audio clip this past weekend that it said featured offensive language from Sterling. In the recording, a male voice questions his girlfriend's association with black people, specifically mentioning Lakers Hall of Famer Magic Johnson by saying, "Don't bring him to my games, OK?"
The comments were met with widespread condemnation. In protest, Clippers players turned their jerseys inside out during a practice before their playoff game against the Golden State Warriors on Sunday.
Current and former NBA stars, including LeBron James and Michael Jordan, as well as U.S. President Barack Obama, have urged NBA Commissioner Adam Silver to take swift action against Sterling if the allegations are true.
The National Basketball Association launched an investigation into the allegations and plans to hold a press conference on Tuesday.
Here's a look at other episodes of racism in modern sport, and how the respective authorities dealt with them.
L.A. Dodgers general manager Al Campanis
On April 6, 1987, as a commemoration of the 40th anniversary of Jackie Robinson breaking the colour barrier in baseball, the ABC News program Nightline interviewed Al Campanis, who had at one time played alongside Robinson.
At one point, Nightline host Ted Koppel asked Campanis, was then-general manager of the L.A. Dodgers, why there weren't more black managers and owners in baseball.
Campanis responded that blacks "may not have some of the necessities to be, let's say, a field manager, or, perhaps, a general manager." When Koppel suggested this was racist stereotyping, Campanis said, "I don't say all of them, but they certainly are short… How many quarterbacks do you have, how many pitchers do you have, that are black? Same thing applies."
The comments ignited protests, and two days later, Campanis resigned.
Atlanta Braves pitcher John Rocker
A relief pitcher for the Atlanta Braves, John Rocker had a scorching fastball, but he was better known for his incendiary views on immigrants and gays, which he laid out in a controversial 1999 interview in Sports Illustrated.
Answering a question about whether he would ever play for a team in New York, Rocker?"
Although Rocker later apologized for his comments, the league suspended him without pay for the first 28 games of the 2000 season, a penalty that was reduced to 14 after Rocker appealed.
Cincinnati Reds owner Marge Schott
Schott was one of the first women to own a major-league baseball team, but that achievement is obscured by a legacy of racist and otherwise offensive comments.
She was known for often using the N-word in reference to players on the team, and a lawsuit alleged that she refused to hire African-Americans (although she was cleared of any wrongdoing). In more than one instance, she also spoke favourably of Adolf Hitler.
Major League Baseball investigated Schott's dealings on numerous occasions, suspending her for the 1993 season and then again between 1996 and 1998. Schott sold her controlling interest in the Reds in 1999, and died in 2004.
Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds coach John Vanbiesbrouck
A former NHL goalie, Vanbiesbrouck was the head coach and general manager of the Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds in the Ontario Hockey League in the early 2000s.
After the team lost a lopsided game, Vanbiesbrouck expressed his dissatisfaction to two players, singling out the performance of captain Trevor Daley, who is black.
In the midst of his outburst, Vanbiesbrouck referred to Daley several times using
the N-word.
After the incident became public, Vanbiesbrouck stepped down as head coach and general manager of the Greyhounds.
Chelsea captain John Terry
Soccer has a reputation for offensive conduct from players and fans alike. In 2011, Chelsea captain John Terry was accused of uttering a racial slur to an opponent, Anton Ferdinand, during a match against Queen's Park Rangers.
The investigation brought in the Metropolitan Police and became a national scandal.
Terry was stripped of his captaincy. In September 2012, Britain's Football Association fined him for £220,000 ($408,000 Cdn) and banned him for four matches. On Oct. 18, 2012, nearly a year after the incident, Terry apologized for the language he used on the field that day.
Miami Dolphins lineman Richie Incognito
The story of Richie Incognito and Jonathan Martin is one of the darkest episodes in the history of the National Football League's Miami Dolphins, and perhaps, the league itself.
In November 2013, Martin left the organization, saying he had been bullied by Incognito. According to an investigation of the Dolphins by lawyer Ted Wells, Incognito tormented the rookie Martin for two years with a combination of racist and sexual taunts.
The Dolphins suspended Incognito indefinitely for his alleged harassment of Martin in October 2013. Incognito spent some time in a psychiatric facility, and is currently a free

KAS Eupen ends an intense week with the away game at Excel Mouscron on Saturday evening. Just six days after claiming a point in the draw against Standard Liège and three days after qualifying for the national Cup’s round of 16, the team led by head coach Jordi Condom is due to face Excel Mouscron in the Championship. The hosts have had a cracking start to the new season and, with 13 points, are currently 4th in the Jupiler Pro League table, behind Club Brügge (Bruges), SC Charleroi and Sint Truiden. Following the 1-1 draw against Standard Liège, KAS Eupen have 4 points and are 13th in the table.
Jordi Condom: “Self-confidence against a strong opponent”
“The point we picked up against Standard and the successful comeback in the Cup game has done wonders for the team and instilled more self-confidence,” said Jordi Condom at the pre-match press conference. Luis Garcia and his teammates will need this self-confidence in order to cope with Mouscron. “It’s a strong opponent, with good individual players who play together as a team,” said Jordi Condom, when quizzed about Saturday evening’s opponent. “Mouscron doesn’t give away many chances and can switch from defence to attack very quickly. We will have our work cut out.” In terms of the strategic approach to the game, Jordi Condom confirmed that Mickäel Tirpan is expected to return to the central defender position, but underlined that tactics constitute only one element on the road to success. “More important than tactics is each player’s commitment. That’s why we have to go out there with the same attitude that we had on Sunday against Standard.”
Marc Valiente: “The success of the last week has done us good”
Marc Valiente, the Spanish central defender from the KAS Eupen squad, responded to questions from the media. “I feel more comfortable here in my new environment as each week goes by. It was tough at the beginning, because we suffered three consecutive defeats at the start of the Championship. But now we have also had some success, and that’s essential for well-being.”
The number of players dealing with injuries has not improved over the past week. Besides Ibrahim Diallo, Eric Ocansey and Abdulkarim Fadlalla are out of contention for the game against Mouscron.
Public viewing in Café Penalty
KAS Eupen fans who are not accompanying their team on the long journey to the Franco-Belgian border are once again invited to the public viewing at Café Penalty. The clubhouse will open its doors at 18:00 and, in addition to the friendly atmosphere in front of the big screen, offers drinks and the stadium’s freshly grilled sausage. Entry is free and everyone is welcome!
Live with Radio Sunshine
Broadcaster Radio Sunshine, the radio station for KAS Eupen fans, is a great way to experience the stadium atmosphere from Mouscron. Within the Belgian-German border region, the station can be received on VHF frequency 97.50. Radio Sunshine can be heard worldwide via the Radio Sunshine app or be streamed from the website.
A NEW feature is the Radio Sunshine button on KAS Eupen’s homepage, which takes you straight to the station’s radio programmes.

Exploring Berbers
The place in Western scholarship of North Africa's original indigenous population, known collectively as the Berbers, has long been paradoxical.. On the other hand, the dialectics of colonialism and nationalism, followed by a generation of postcolonial state-building and nation-building efforts, led scholars to studiously downplay Berber specificity, apart from its residual tribal and folkloric features. Whether implicitly or explicitly, Western scholars seemed to adopt the view of North Africa's ruling elites, namely that their Berber-speaking populations would, and even should be assimilated into a larger nation-state milieu which synthesized Arabism, Islam, and modernity. This view was succinctly articulated by Mehdi Ben Barka, Morocco's leading left-wing figure until his abduction and murder in 1965: a Berber, he declared, was "simply someone who hadn't gone to school."[1] Ironically, this approach mirrored the analyses of early generations of French colonial practitioners and scholars who identified the Berbers' alleged "assimilability" to French culture.
Nearly four decades have passed since the publication of Arabs and Berbers: From Tribe to Nation in North Africa (1973), an enormously rich and still indispensable volume edited by Gellner and Charles Micaud. In the interim, the complex processes of state consolidation and national integration in North African states had proven to be seriously deficient: Algeria was torn asunder during the 1990s by a violent conflict between a retrograde Islamist insurgency and a no less noxious authoritarian regime. Morocco, for its part, avoided the Algerian trauma but suffered from deep poverty, inequality, and arbitrary rule. By the turn of the new century, North African states were deemed to be in serious trouble by most scholars, in desperate need for what I. William Zartman called a "re-contracting" between state and society.[2]
This process is now well underway throughout the region, although its ultimate outcome remains to be seen. In any case, North Africa's Berber populations are now more explicitly acknowledged by the Moroccan and Algerian regimes as being a legitimate part of the national fabric, and an Amazigh (lit., free men) identity movement has emerged to articulate a set of ethno-cultural demands on the state which, if adopted, would transform the self-view of North African societies.
Parallel to these developments has been the emergence of a new willingness to engage in research on Berber ethnicity. Berbers and Others, edited by Katherine E. Hoffman and Susan Gilson Miller, brings together some of the very best of the new generation of scholars working on Berber issues from a variety of perspectives--history, anthropology, political science, education, literary studies, and art history. Old issues are revisited and new questions are posed, resulting in a uniformly high-quality collection of essays (too often a rarity in edited volumes). The book holds much value, both for North African specialists and for those with broader interests in matters dealing with ethnicity, social and political change, and public culture.
As the editors note in their introduction, the contributors view ethnicity "as a constantly changing orientation, shaped and reshaped by forces both within and outside the group" and "document this unfolding in a variety of contexts both past and present.... They reject the frozen, embrace the contingent, and situate categories and representations within their specific historical milieus" (p. 4). Indeed, this approach underpins each of the chapters. James McDougal's opening essay in the "Sources and Methods" section elucidates the multiple meanings of "Arab" and "Berber" throughout history. He cogently argues that these labels were usually adopted in the context of community and state formation, but that, since the seventh century, it was Islam which gave them meaning. Whereas salvation through Islam had always been the method used by all political movements, Berber as well as Arab, from the mid-1950s, nationalist discourse (building, ironically, on colonial knowledge) had placed the two groups on opposite ends, with "Arab" meaning salvation, and "Berber" meaning heresy. In response, contemporary Amazigh activists have basically turned that equation on its head.
Katherine Hoffman follows with a nuanced discussion of the very wide intermediate zones in rural and and peri-urban Morocco where Berber and Arabic speakers interpenetrate in varying proportions. The process of cultural and linguistic assimilation, she notes, has been almost exclusively one way, from Berber to Arab, and rarely the other. Given the twin processes of linguistic assimilation and a new valorization of Amazigh identity by the state and within the community, she wonders whether "Berber" may even eventually become a badge of identity but no longer a communicative code (p. 54).
Mohammed El Mansour's chapter takes a step back into Moroccan history, examining the paths for integration of Berbers/Imazighen into the country's elite. While some achieved this through Islamic scholarship, Sufism, business partnerships, or military service, others, including one Abu al-Qasim al-Zayani, bridged their Berber background and wider society through service in the state bureaucracy (makhzan).While the "ethnic" and "tribal" aspects of his identity remained salient, the makhzanian dimension superseded all others.
Paul Silverstein's innovative chapter links the modern-day transnational, meta-Berberist ideology and movement to a troubling local dimension, namely the racial tensions in southeastern Morocco between the formerly dominant "white" Berbers and newly empowered "black" ones, known as haratin, or Iqbilyin. Formerly feudal-type relations between the two groups have been transformed by the latter's acquisition of capital from working in Moroccan cities or abroad, and using it to buy up land in their villages. The Iqbilyin's non-involvement in the Amazigh culture movement adds a further layer to the tensions between the two groups.
Jane Goodman's chapter examines the trial of Imazighen activists in Algeria in 1985. In a rare moment of transparency, the authorities opened the trial to the foreign press, which enabled the defendants to turn the proceedings into an indictment against the state by draping their demands for recognition of Berber identity in the mantle of universal human rights. Large cracks had been exposed in the façade of the Algerian polity, helping prepare the ground for the upheaval at the end of the decade, which included the flourishing of Berber culture associations. Given the centrality of the Kabyle Berbers in the forging of a modern ethno-cultural Amazigh identity, it is unfortunate that this is the only chapter that focuses specifically on the modern Algerian scene.
David Crawford's chapter may be considered the most provocative of the book. While acknowledging that the widespread phenomenon of child labor in Morocco is too often marked by rampant exploitation, he rejects the common notion among educated Moroccans that the dispatch of young illiterate rural girls to work as maids in urban households marks the breakdown of social solidarity among rural Berber communities. Rather, he argues persuasively that it is a continuing testimony to their resilience, particularly their households, as it forms an indispensable source of family income, and is understood as such by the girls themselves.
In the book's third and final section, "Varieties of Representation," Mokhtar Ghambou criticizes the Amazigh movement's use of ancient Greek and Roman texts to recover their history, pointing to their pernicious intent (conquest), and the similar use made of them by colonial historians. Celebrating "Numidia" (the Greek- and Roman-era term denoting portions of modern-day Algeria and Tunisia), he says, perpetuates the accompanying negative stereotype of ancient Berbers as "nomads," from which the term allegedly derives. (Curiously, he ignores the view of Gabriel Camps that the word actually has a Berber origin, with a different meaning than the Greek word for nomads.[3])
Lisa Bernasek casts a critical eye on the representation of what are now termed Berber "first arts" (arts premiers) in France's Musée du quai Branly. In her view, it "has largely reproduced colonial-era categories and assumptions," rendering Berber culture as supposedly timeless. Doing so, she says, both de-emphasizes the centrality of orthodox Islam in North African life and ignores contemporary manifestations of Berber culture.
The book concludes with Cynthia Becker's deconstruction of the history of Berber arts. Contemporary Amazigh artists, she shows, are keen to foreground the region's pre-Islamic past, and thus often borrow from colonial interpretations of Berber art in order to counter Arabo-Islamic national narratives. At the same time, even as they strive to preserve their Amazigh heritage, they are, she says, "engaged in the creation of a new aesthetic form that exemplifies dynamism, inventiveness and resilience" (p. 213).
Whether or not the Berber identity movement will achieve a truly critical mass in the coming years and have a decisive impact on state-society relations in North Africa remains to be seen. But Becker's concluding words regarding Berber artists may be applicable to other spheres of Berber life as well. In any case, both North Africanists and all those interested in the nexus between ethnicity, culture, politics, and history, will drive much benefit and pleasure from this elegant and informed volume.

The "1-Minute" Review
VerdictUnless you need the best screen available, the iPhone 11 is the phone in Apple’s 2019 lineup to suit the average buyer. It has enough battery for work and play, can handle any app or game you throw at it, and looks good while doing so. But unless you’re a light phone user, plan to pick up a faster charger.
What's good
- Blazing performance
- Plenty of storage
- Great cameras
- Good audio
- Face ID
- Decent screen
- All-day battery life
What's bad
- No 3.5mm headphone jack or Lightning-to-3.5mm adapter
- Slow charger included
The iPhone lineup often includes multiple tiers. There are typically two versions of the ‘high-end’ option with some designation in the name and then the ‘budget’ model. With their 2019 lineup, Apple has changed this up a bit.
The iPhone 11 is now the new iPhone XR -- perhaps signaling that while it’s the budget-conscious model, it’s still a full-featured iPhone. Does Apple’s latest bring anything new to the table and -- more importantly -- is it worth buying? Reviewers are weighing in! Let’s see what they think...
Design
The iPhone 11 features a mostly glass design with a lightweight aluminum frame. It’s IP68 rated for water and dust resistance and available in a range of colors -- including black, green, yellow, white, purple, and red. If you’re looking for an iPhone with personality, the options are there. Otherwise, the phone is largely a re-release of the popular iPhone XR design-wise.
Around back, you’ll find one of the most notable differences from last year’s model -- Apple’s new square camera module tucked in the upper corner. Reviewers found it interesting with many worrying it would stick out too much and cause issues when the phone was resting on a table. Thankfully, they found it to be one of the least intrusive camera bumps yet for Apple.
Display
Uses the same screen tech as the popular iPhone XR -- a 6.1-inch 1792-by-828 pixel LCD panel with a notch at the top. Instead of the 3D Touch of previous generations, the iPhone 11 includes Haptic Touch, allowing you to perform various tasks with long taps while receiving feedback from the screen itself on your fingertip.
The panel gets excellent marks for brightness, color accuracy, and detail. The True Tone feature also adjusts the screen’s white balance based on your surroundings for truer whites and greys.
That said, if you’re looking for the best displays Apple offers, you’ll want the OLED panels of the iPhone 11 Pro or iPhone 11 Pro Max.
T3 agrees, saying, “Ultimately, the screen is great, but movie lovers would probably prefer an OLED model.”
Performance
The iPhone 11 features the same processor as its pricier siblings -- a 2.65Ghz hexa-core Apple A13 bionic processor with 4GB of RAM and Neural Engine co-processor. In typical Apple fashion, the only remote competition to the phone’s performance is last year’s iPhone. Their latest processor offers a 20% to 30% improvement in processing and graphics power over the iPhone XR and iPhone XS.
From heavy multitasking to playing graphics-intensive 3D games, the phone handled anything reviewers could throw it without breaking a sweat.
GSM Arena notes “There was no doubt the Apple A13 chip is... the fastest smartphone SoC on the planet right now.”
Software
The phone ships with Apple’s latest software release: iOS 13.
Storage
As with previous models, you cannot expand the storage on the iPhone 11. However, with 64GB, 128GB, or 256GB models to choose from, you have options for finding a price and storage capacity which suits your needs.
Cameras
Dual rear 12MP cameras -- one wide-angle with optical image stabilization, one with an ultrawide angle. The front-facing 12MP camera includes a 3D Time of Flight sensor for Face ID, portrait shots, and Apple’s Animoji feature.
All cameras include increased ISO sensitivity and a wider range of minimum and maximum exposure times for added flexibility capturing the perfect shot.
Other than minor complaints about over-sharpening, reviewers loved the pictures captured by the iPhone 11. Colors were natural and images popped with excellent contrast and range.
Apple’s Night Mode feature is back for low light shots with Apple’s HDR+ feature Deep Fusion coming in a future update. Reviewers loved Night Mode, with GSM Arena calling it “exemplary.” The portrait mode also had no issues separating subjects from the background and the Lighting effects were just as accurate.
If you’re a fan of recording videos with your phone, the iPhone 11 can shoot 4K video with all three cameras and the digital stabilization feature received high marks for shooting video while moving.
Ars Technica sums up opinions well, saying, “... these features allow non-photographers to use a device that is not a professional-quality camera to take photos that most of the time look better than amateurs have been able to achieve before.”
Battery Life
3110mAh battery with 18-watt charging. Unfortunately, Apple only includes a 5-watt charger with the phone. With the included charger, 30 minutes of charging will net you roughly 18% more charge. However, if you use Apple’s 18-watt charger (sold separately) that same time will boost your battery by roughly 55%.
T3 notes, “For light users, you can get through two days. Heavy users will definitely have battery left at the end of the day, assuming you don’t literally play Fortnite non-stop.”
Audio
Stereo speakers using the earpiece as a loudspeaker. Now includes spatial audio support as well for a more immersive listening experience without headphones. But they don’t include a Lightning-to-3.5mm adapter, so you might need to pick one up to enjoy your favorite headphones.

The Takeaway
Overall, reviewers loved the iPhone 11. Some questioned the resolution of the screen on paper but noted that it’s still plenty usable -- it simply pales in comparison to the displays on the iPhone 11 Pro or iPhone 11 Pro Max. Still, it delivers everywhere else it matters. Just be sure to consider an 18-watt charger because the one in the box is slow.
GSM Arena says, .”
T3 says, “This year's cheaper iPhone feels anything but budget. A class-leading camera, premium build and top-tier speed make it a Ferrari in sheep's clothing.”

iPhone 11 levels up the popular iPhone XR from the previous year, adding better battery, an extra camera and better internal specs. The new features make for an iPhone that addresses many consumer qualms and doesn’t have many faults.

The iPhone 11 strikes a brilliant balance between features and price. You wouldn't know it's the cheaper of Apple's 2019 phones from its build, camera and speed. If only it had an OLED screen…

The regular version of the iPhone 11 offers a similar audio experience as the higher-end iPhone 11 Pro Max, and is a solid performer across all our technical categories and use cases.

Abstract
The economic organization of an industry is ultimately determined by the cost functions of its component firms. In the clothing industry the costs of creating and implementing new designs is a further important factor affecting competition between firms. Since costs are largely determined by technology, we expect repercussions on the organization of the industry when technology changes. Application of the new information technologies in the clothing industry will encourage agglomerations by growth and by merger, with larger firms producing a wider range of products and introducing new products faster than hitherto. Trends in the geographic organization of production will also be reversed. -from Author
Question: If the statements above are true, which one of the following must also be true on the basis of them?
Options:
- A decrease in costs will result in a decrease in the extent to which the clothing industry is organized into distinct firms.
- An increase in costs will result in a increase in the extent to which the clothing industry is organized into distinct firms.
- Changes in technology in the clothing industry will result in repercussions in the economic organization of the industry.
- The costs of creating and implementing new designs will decrease as new information technologies are applied in the clothing industry. Answer: Changes in technology in the clothing industry will result in repercussions in the economic organization of the industry.

That does seem idyllic. I’m a city guy and Seoul is just big enough, but I must say that the idea of scooting about the countryside on a wander does appeal.
Yeah, it’s nice. I miss the convenience of a city or larger town, but I still prefer it out here. Mind if I add you to my blogroll?
Glad to hear you found your “freedom”. I too love to ride! It has always been a way for me to get away and forget about everything. A simple hour long trip on a bike can melt away days of work and stress. The joy of being completely free to explore and discover on a bike is one of the best things about riding.
It isn’t the destination, it’s the journey!

Yesterday we had another follow-up appointment with our MFI specialist. Matt's having analyses done every 9 weeks or so (approximately the length of each sperm 'generation') to monitor his progress since surgery. Our first post-surgical follow-up was in March and it was pretty encouraging. At that point, Dr. W put him on two new medications that should have helped support things even more, so this was our next check in to see what was up.
I had high hopes, I'm not going to lie. I don't know where all this hope suddenly busted up from, but sure enough it was blossoming deep in my heart over the last few weeks, whispering optimistic thoughts into my head...you know, crazy stuff, like maybe you'll get pregnant this month!!!...stuff I haven't really contemplated in a solid year, really. Stuff I didn't know if I'd ever actually think again.
Although at every. single. one. of our appointments with the REs over the last year their #1 recommendation is IVF (shocking), they've also been pretty consistent with telling us that if we weren't willing/ready to do that, then timed intercourse was our only other option. Because of the severity of our MFI, IUIs were a worse option than timed intercourse because none of our sperm could survive the wash process (please see Exhibits 1, 2, and 3: My first 3 IUIs). So as far as they've been concerned, we're either low/no-tech (old fashioned baby-making-attempting) or IVF. No middle ground.
Butttttt...somewhere along the way I got my hopes up that if our sperm survivability rates could go up, then maybe we could try IUIs again. And in the last two weeks or so I've pretty much convinced myself that that's what was going to happen. A nice IUI cycle, right? A teensy fraction of the cost, physical trauma, and emotional drama of IVF-- and sure, a fraction of the odds it'll work, too-- but jusssst a little something to make me feel like we're doing something, right? Right. I was really excited. All we had to do was get that survivability rate up and I'd be signing us up for IUI on my next cycle. We were totally pumped.
And then...yeah. No. Not so much. Not at all.
For your pleasure (and my record-keeping) I made a lovely chart:
Right, so...that's a big boo hiss.
Let's take a moment and be thankful that LOOK!!! Our penetration count is actually in the GOOD RANGE!!! YAAAAAYYYYY!!! At least one thing on the chart isn't getting a failing grade. So I am definitely thankful for that, because it doesn't matter if you have a zillion sperm and they all survive-- if they can't penetrate an egg, they're all useless. So at least now 84% of ours are not useless!!!! I am super happy about that, don't get me wrong.
I am not happy about: Total count DROPPING??!?!?! (and the dr wasn't concerned at all and I KNOW it's normal for count to vary wildly, but still...not cool); survivability still unchanged and terrible.
Just because I'm a glutton for punishment, I decided to ask about IUI anyway. Predictably, Dr. W said NO. Same story- not enough would survive the wash to make it worth their time (which is saying something, since they get paid whether or not it works, and it only takes about 10 minutes...). He said our success rates will be higher at home or (you guessed it!) with IVF (really? you don't say.).
He's letting Matt stay on the 2 current drugs for another 9 weeks to see if another life-cycle of sperm will show any improved survivability. He added in a 3rd drug (serophine, which some of you would recognize by a different name...;) ) that will hopefully help to boost the total count. His thinking is that if we can't improve the survivability rate, if we could at least boost the overall number, then we'll still end up with more surviving (even if the rate stays unchanged) and could maybe consider IUI then. Makes sense to me, so we shall see.
When I type it all out it doesn't seem as bad. That's good. I must admit, I was pretty crushed during/after the appointment, though. I just thought it was going to be all good news. I wasn't prepared for mediocre...or bad. I was ready to move on, to do something. But there's nothing to do, now...except watch Matt take pills and pray that his pills work faster than my endometriomas grow. Isn't that a fun game?
God, I could really use some miracles right about now.
Infertility sucks. Having both male-factor AND female-factor infertility double sucks. And with that, Suzie Sunshine is signing out. Have a lovely day. And if you have cute kids, keep a close eye on 'em. I'm in a kidnappy mood.
I'm so sorry. Infertility does suck. Big time. Praying peace over you guys.
Wishing I had a handy chart to show you our results prior to IUI's 11 years ago (and 9 yrs too), but I don't. If my memory serves me correctly our sperm count was at a record low and motility and morphology were in the toilet. My doctor (as he finished the IUI) handed me the card for an IVF referral and said or 6th round would never take. (worst #'s ever, yada, yaya, yaya). Two weeks later and a ton of crying, I was pregnant.
Moral of this story...I've been there and I get it! There's nothing like infertility...it sucks and makes me angry! I wish you weren't going through this and I'm sending you virtual hugs xoxo
:(
Praying for you, friend!
Ugh ugh ugh ugh UGH! That's all. Oh, well that, and the fact that I hate infertility!
I'm so sorry. This does really suck. I will keep on praying for your miracle. And for better results in nine weeks.
Ughh! I already knew this and I STILL hate reading it! My heart hurts so much for you and Matt! This is just SO UNFAIR!!! One minute I think "I'm over it. Over trying to figure out the why or the fairness, and then I read this, and well, I'm right back to, "God, did you know this isn't fair?". UGHHHHH!
I'm with Dr. W though, I'm hoping that if numbers go up, survivability won't matter that much. That seems to be our case. The fact that they killed 97% in the wash doesn't seem to bother them too much as long as we've got the numbers. Praying BIG prayers for STAGGERING, UNBELIEVABLE, IT'S A MIRACLE type numbers next time!
I'm so sorry about the disappointing numbers. :( I just hate that for you guys. Saying an extra prayer today for increasing numbers AND some peace as you deal with another appointment that did not go as you had hoped.
I wasn't going to comment because since I haven't yet secured a man (boo hiss)I have no dog in the infertility fight, but after I read this post I hopped on over to Kelly's Korner where she just happened to blog about her miracle today! I hate that you got bad news, but luckily God is bigger than science, and he is in the Miracle business! I know it probably sounds cliche, but its true, and I hope it gives you some peace! Praying!
Sweet girl!! Even though I would KILL to have your numbers, I understand the position your in is frustrating!!! Interesting that my doc says we need 2 million for IUI. So that has been our hope!! As hard as it is, don't let the doctors words discourage. Yes, he believes only IVF is the option. But, God is SO much bigger than that! And God's word is never void! He is capable of anything, even a miracle baby or making enough health sperm for IUI! Prayers for you!
Blah, sorry the news wasn't better, but glad some of the numbers went up! And I have a friend whose husband also took "Serophine"... so interesting!
Regardless, continuing to pray for that miracle, however it may come about!
Oh my gosh! Just.. UGH. That stinks. :( I'm so sorry! Praying for peace to find you quickly.
I'm so sorry. :( Praying for you and Matt today.
I'm super bummed for you. I mean, I don't totally understand all your lingo and what not, but I did catch "I'm in a kindappy mood" and I would say that means your doctor's news could have been better. :( I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry :( It just doesn't seem fair sometimes at all. Praying that you get your miracle however it happens :)
Boo. I am still looking for a babies r u that gives away cute kids. Ill let you know if I find one. In the meantime, please accept this hug
ugh... I am so sorry!! I know how hard it is to get your hopes up only to have them dashed time and time again. I hope things turn around for you soon... sending you a big hug! xo
Lame. I'm so sorry. I'm praying that God will give you the desire of your hearts regardless of what the numbers say should/shouldn't happen.
Oh, Erika.
I know you don't know me at all* . . . I am just some stranger from CA who reads your blog and occasionally posts . . . .
You and M will be in my prayers for the the solace our good Lord can give.
*note one day I will get around to having a blog of my own so you aren't like, "who is this invisible Nessa chick that is so interested in my life".
Oh, boo is right. This really, really sucks and I wish I had some words of comfort or wisdom. Just know that you're in my thoughts and prayers. I had to smile that you found the silver lining - the penetration count - which is superb, by the way. I hope that the next round goes better and that in the meantime you don't for one second let go of that little thing called hope. You're an inspiration to so many. And we like you a whole heck of a lot!
[big sigh]
What a bummer. I'm so sorry to hear this. You both must be so discouraged. How troublesome that your only option is the biggest, most expensive, most invasive option. Nothing like having absolutely zero middle ground. Again, so sorry.
That is a big bummer but I truly appreciate your positive attitude. Infertility does suck! But I need to take a page out of your book and start looking at the bright side of my own situation. You gave me a little kick in the pants...which I needed so thanks for that.
But back to you. I truly hope that Matt's pills do the trick and those numbers start to rise so you can do IUI. Hoping for you!
Boo. I hate this for you. I am now sending you a virtual hug.
Ahhh another serphine prescription. ;)
Praying, girlie. Praying hard!
Infertility does suck! That is all there is to it! My husband and I are going through our third round of IUI. I will continue to pray for you guys; I can tell you will both make great parents! Hoping that we both get our miracle soon! God IS so much bigger than infertility, doctors and numbers!
I hate this. Love you.
Infertility sucks so much. I am sorry that the latest numbers weren't more encouraging. Still praying. I know how annoying it can be to hear, but miracles really can happen and I am holding out hope for you two!
Boo is right. MFI is always a bummer. But, there is still a chance! We have been seeing between 0% and 1% motility...so I feel your pain. IUI is most likely not an option for us either. Lots of prayers are coming your way. God is in the business of miracles.
Seriously boo. I'm so sorry it wasn't better news this time around. The women's Bible/book study I'm in for the summer is dealing with fear and anxiety and last night we got to talking about how God shows up in BIG ways when we least expect it. Not to say He doesn't do small things, of course He does, but it's the huge blessings that come when we're fearful and trying to trust in His timing, etc. And that's what I'm praying/hoping for you guys. That however the Lord redeems these years for you, that is a GIANT miracle that knocks the socks off all who know you. :) Love you!

Your Care Manager will coordinate your services, from setting up doctor visits to transportation.
What is Care Management?
Care Management is a set of activities intended to improve patient care and reduce the need for medical services by helping patients and caregivers more effectively manage health conditions.
What are Care Managers?
They are experts in working with individuals to identify their goals and locate the specific support services that enhance well-being. Care Managers will help you create a coordinated plan of care and services that meet your individual needs. Care Managers can also help you if there is a change in your living arrangements or if you need help accessing a certain type of service.
What is an IDT (also known as an Interdisciplinary Team)?
The IDT is a team of people that will help you to plan, coordinate and assist you in accessing services and support.
Who is part of the IDT?
The IDT is comprised of you the participant and your representative if you have one, your Care Manager, and your primary providers of OPWDD services. In addition, the IDT may include other providers you are seeing, such as behavioral health professionals or your home care aide.
What are some of the advantages to me if I enroll in the FIDA-IDD Plan?
Here are some advantages
- You receive care management & coordination of services which will enhance quality of care for you.
- The Plan requires no deductibles, premiums, or copayments/coinsurance, hence saves you money.
- Uses one Health Insurance ID card to receive all of your benefits, to simplify your record keeping.
- Includes a Care Manager who can schedule doctor´s appointments, arrange transportation and help get your medicine.
- Allows you to add your caregivers or someone else that you trust to your care team (also known as the IDT) to help make decisions regarding your care
- The Plan provides extra resources to help you navigate the managed care system or the appeals process through the new Ombudsman, called the Independent Consumer Advocacy Network (ICAN).
- The Plan offers approved items, services, and prescription medicines at no cost to you.
What services will FIDA-IDD cover?
FIDA-IDD allows you access to the full set of Medicare and Medicaid services available to you including:
- Comprehensive coverage
- Interdisciplinary Team Approach
- Care Management
- Primary care, specialist, and hospital care
- Long Term Supports & Services
- Behavioral Health
- OPWDD waiver services if you are enrolled in the 1915(c) HCBS Waiver Services
- ICF-IID services if you are not enrolled in the 1915(c) HCBS Waiver Services
- Prescription and non-prescription drugs
- Transportation
If I already have Medicare and Medicaid how does the FIDA-IDD improve medical services?
Currently, Medicare-Medicaid individuals navigate multiple sets of rules, benefits, insurance cards, and providers (e.g., Medicare Parts A and B, Part D, and Medicaid). Many Medicare-Medicaid enrollees suffer from multiple or severe chronic conditions and can benefit from better care coordination and care management of medical care, behavioral health and long-term services and supports. The FIDA-IDD plan provides care management. Care management can improve your care and reduce the need for medical services by helping you and your caregiver manage your health care needs and conditions more effectively.
What are the benefits of joining this managed care FIDA-IDD plan?
The FIDA-IDD program offers you more opportunities to direct your own services if you choose, take part in the planning for your care and services and live as independently as possible in the community. Your existing Medicare and Medicaid benefits are provided through a combined benefit package that includes your own care manager, and a dedicated interdisciplinary team, which you and/or representative are part of, to address each of your medical, behavioral health, long-term supports and services, and social needs. You will have access to a larger network of medical and supportive services, including OPWDD services such as habilitation.
If I join the FIDA-IDD will it affect my waiver services such as Day and Residential programs?
No, if you are enrolled in OPWDD’s HCBS waiver program you will remain in the waiver program and receive waiver services through the FIDA-IDD plan upon enrollment. The Plan will be responsible for providing/coordinating your waiver services. The Plan will make payment to the service provider.
Can I disenroll from the FIDA-IDD Plan?
Yes. You can leave FIDA-IDD Plan at any time and for any reason because it is a voluntary program. If you decide to disenroll, you will go back to regular Medicaid and original Medicare or a Medicare Advantage plan, and a Part D plan.
When can I enroll in FIDA-IDD Plan?
Eligible individuals have the opportunity to enroll in the FIDA-IDD Plan now.
If I enroll, when will the enrollment be effective?
Enrollment is prospective and therefore will be effective the first of the month following the month you request to enroll. For example, if you request enrollment on 10/3, your enrollment will be effective 11/1.
If I enroll in the FIDA-IDD Plan, can I continue to see my current providers even if the provider does not participate in the plan’s provider network?
- Individuals new to a FIDA-IDD Plan will have a transition period during which you can continue to see your current providers. The transition period will last for at least ninety (90) days. If your provider agrees to become a network provider, during the contracting process, the FIDA-IDD Plan will continue to pay your provider and you can continue to see your provider beyond the 90 day transition period.
- Your provider must agree to accept payment from the plan. The FIDA-IDD Plan will pay the provider the Medicare or Medicaid fee-for-service rate
- If your provider chooses not to become a network provider, after the transitional period, you will need to see the FIDA-IDD Plan’s network providers, and the FIDA-IDD will no longer be required to pay for the care received out-of-network, unless the FIDA-IDD Plan or your care team has authorized it.
- If you are receiving behavioral health services you can continue to see your behavioral health provider until it is determined the service is no longer necessary. However, this continuation cannot exceed 2 years from the date you enrolled and only applies to the episode of care that was ongoing during your transition from Medicaid fee for service to the FIDA-IDD Plan.
- If you reside in an OPWDD certified residence you can continue to receive residential services from your current provider as long as your care plan continues to describe the need for the service.

Last Thursday saw the sudden release of Overwatch’s 24th Hero and it was not the one people were expecting. Rumours have been circling for months about the prospect of ‘Brooklyn Nine Nine’ actor Terry Crews joining the Overwatch cast as the much teased character, Doomfist.
However, this past week the Overwatch social media accounts started teasing a new character called Efi Oladele, an 11 year old inventor from Numbani with notable achievements in robotics and artificial intelligence. Now, as great an actor as Terry Crews is, not many people would believe he’d be able to voice an 11 year old girl, so the Doomfist hype train was derailed.
Orisa is a guardian robot created by Efi Oladele to protect the city of Numbani as the current OR15 defense units used to defend the “City of Harmony” were being decimated by villains such as Doomfist. The whole story is quite reminisent of Big Hero Six with the tale of a young child and a robot guardian.
Orisa plays the role of the central anchor of her team, a role with very little depth before as Reinhardt was previously the only other hero who could fulfill that role. She can defend her allies with her shield barrier, deal out long range damage with her fusion driver, launch a supercharger boosting her allies damage output, and disrupt the enemy’s ranks with her graviton charges.
For a full list of her weapons and abilities, please see below:
- Fusion Driver: This is Orisa’s primary weapon. It’s an automatic-weapon which fires a projectile cannon at fast speeds. The Driver has a large magazine however it also has some spread, making it less effective at extreme long range. Firing whilst moving slows Orisa’s movement speed by half.
- Halt!: Orisa can launch an energy ball of graviton toward to her crosshair in linear line. This works as a shorter less powerful version of Zarya’s Graviton Surge Ultimate, bringing nearby enemies in close together and out of cover.
- Fortify: A personal effect ability, Fortify will provide Orisa with a 50% damage reduction over a period of four seconds, and block many hero abilities that would cause movement penalties such as Mcrees Flash Bang and Mei’s Blizzard ultimate.
- Protective Barrier: Orisa can launch a stationary protective barrier down on the ground, protecting her and her allies.
- Supercharger (Ultimate): Orisa’s Ultimate ability. She can deploy a device; called “The Drum”, directly at her feet, then the device will provide all allied characters in line of sight with a fifty percent damage boost, as long as they stay in range of the The Drum. The device will last for long duration until it disappears or destroyed by the enemies.
Question: Who is Orisa? Answer: a guardian robot created by Efi Oladele
Question: What does Orisa do? Answer: protect the city of Numbani
Question: What did Efi Oladele invent? Answer: Orisa
Question: What is Orisa? Answer: a guardian robot
Question: What is the name of the robot? Answer: Orisa

I am.
Look, Mamma- it is HIM…
So, Fiance has been complaining that I write about him, but only figuratively. The substance, really, is missing. So, here’s this one.
Just. For. Him.
Rahul. Apart from the Fiance gig and the water bottle incident(s), you and I have spent actually very few moments together. But, that really doesn’t matter. Honest.
You are this tall, monument of a person.
And skinny but despite all that I loOve those arms. Okay, no, I can’t be talking about my physical attraction towrds JUST your arms here, so…
You. I love your english. I wish I had as many words as you. And I’ll never forget all the photographs you’d clicked in Mandarmoni with Shashank. You have some very serious talent stuffed inside you.
You still have’nt given that Heart-photograph of Shashwat and me though. 😦
And, although you’re going to NID* so that you don’t have to study what you dislike*, I think you’ll be good. Really good. Design my house* after our marriage, will you?
And I like those big, jazzy, blitzy weddings by the way. So, be prepared.
Rahul Agarwal. Later in life, when I think of you, I’ll think of the video you took as a memoir, I’ll think of the things you drew (none for me) and, oh well, my bruised bottle. 😛
I’ll think of you. YOU.
Now, smile.
Nice and big…
Suitcases of Memories, Time after Time :)
Pinky- Shashwat 😀

I am a photographer, a father, A teacher, and a student. Nothing special.

My mother lent me her camera in high school, and I've rarely been without one since.
For a little while I was based in China with my little family, and ran a boutique portrait studio for exclusive clients. Now its time to come back to my home: New Zealand
I specialise in both professional headshots and lifestyle portraiture. My work takes me to both mundane and exotic places in Asia and the South Pacific.

1980 Rendlesham Forest Incident, which occurred on December 26th of that year has left many questions in the minds both of those who were present and those who would later hear this harrowing story. But the incident has more than a little controversy - and a recent statement by the base Commander Colonel Conrad will leave many questioning whether or not a coverup could be in the works. What caused the controversial events that night just after Christmas in 1980? And why would Colonel Conrad remain silent for so long, but then make his statement only now?
The Events of that night have chilled the hearts of many people since the first object of the "British Roswell" was sighted. But when the incident was determined by investigators to be of no threat to national security by both the MoD and the airmen stationed at the American air bases, the case became a matter of intellectual curiosity or perhaps in some circles nothing more than an eerie story of a mysterious object. Nonetheless, as night fell on Rendlesham Forest that night one thing is certain - whatever the unarmed airmen and officers saw that night would change their lives forever and make them and their testimony staples of UFO curiosity seekers.
And there have been other facts to surface in recent years increasing the interest in the story significantly. For example, investigators who had been tracking the movements of extraterrestrial vehicles were barely surprised by the revelation that nuclear warheads were being stored at Rendlesham simply because of the way the strange light that descended on them that cold evening behaved - even firing a beam of light into the ground near the facility in a way so commonly associated with UFO behavior around nuclear facilities.
Colonel Conrad's suggestion is that the entire incident could have been a hoax. And while he may have remained silent for over thirty years, he's pulling no punches now. Stating his belief that the men involved in the incident may have been hoaxed, he further adds his personal opinion that they should be "ashamed" of themselves.
Imagine the shock of seeing a series of strange lights in the sky and being expected to leave your post and investigate. Upon investigating you find a series of anomalous phenomena and you report them to your superior officer. Now, after thirty years of describing the incident, the investigating officer who followed up the incident has declared it a hoax. Would you be satisfied this was the truth when it's no secret that the military likes unexplained and anomalous phenomena dismissed? It seems likely we'll be hearing from Colonel Halt on the subject again. Or perhaps we already have. Halt summarized the incident in 2010 with an affidavit signed and notarized, of what he saw, "."

Former Navy SEAL arrested on weapons charges in Haiti says he was doing security work tied to Haiti's president
The former Navy SEAL among a group of eight men arrested earlier this week in Port-au-Prince on weapons charges says he was providing security work "for people who are directly connected to the current President" of Haiti.
"We were being used as pawns in a public fight between him and the current Prime Minister of Haiti," said Chris Osman, 44, in a now-deleted post on Instagram Friday. "We were not released we were in fact rescued."
Osman was one of five Americans, two Serbs, and one Haitian who were stopped at a Port-au-Prince police checkpoint on Sunday while riding in two vehicles without license plates, according to police. When questioned, police said the men — who were carrying AR-15 rifles, pistols, various knives, satellite phones, and other tactical gear — claimed they were on a "government mission" before being taken into custody.
Osman was identified along with Christopher McKinley (who also goes by Christopher Heben), 49, also a former Navy SEAL; Kent Kroeker, 52, a former Marine Corps pilot; Talon Burton, 52, a former Army military policeman and State Department security guard; and Dustin Porte, 42, the president of a business headquartered in Louisiana called Patriot Group Services, Inc.

Three others in the group were Vlade Jankvic, 41, and Danilo Bajagic, 37, both Serbian nationals; and Michael Estera, 39, a Haitian citizen.
Seven of the eight men were released from police custody and put on a plane back to the U.S. on Wednesday, where they were greeted by law enforcement officers on the ground in Miami (Estera was not allowed to leave Haiti).
A State Department spokesperson said their return was "coordinated with Haitian authorities" but declined to comment further.
"Sometimes life is stranger than fiction and filled with crazy adventures. I am alive and back home. We all are," Osman said in the post. "It's now known that I do security work and have done it for years. My days of doing any out of the U.S. is officially over because I'm plastered all over media around the world."
Osman went on to say the people of Haiti were "really good to us" and thanked the U.S. government, State Department, U.S. Embassy in Haiti, and others who "stepped in to save us."
The U.S. Embassy in Haiti did not respond to emailed questions from Task & Purpose.
The men being escorted off the plane by law enforcement in Miami was captured by Carel Pedre, a Haitian media personality, who was on American Airlines flight 1059 and posted a video of the incident on Twitter.
"The pilot said government officials were coming in," Pedre told Task & Purpose. "They had navy blue uniforms with what looked like the Homeland Security badge on their shoulders."
But which law enforcement agency actually took them off the plane remains a mystery. Task & Purpose contacted The City of Miami Police Department, Miami-Dade Police Department, the FBI, TSA, and the U.S. Marshal's Service, and all denied they had any involvement. A spokesperson for Customs and Border Patrol did not respond.
Federal sources told The Miami Herald the men would not be charged.
A spokeswoman for the U.S. Attorney's office for the Southern District of Florida declined to comment.

Wigan striker Callum McManaman's horror tackle overshadowed a controversial but crucial 90th-minute Arouna Kone winner for Roberto Martinez's relegation-threatened side as they beat Newcastle 2-1 at the DW Stadium.
The Latics forward, on his first Premier League start, caused outrage with a reckless knee-high challenge on substitute Massadio Haidara..
Substitute keeper Lee Camp ensured 10-man Norwich left Sunderland with a 1-1.
However, Norwich left Wearside believing they should have been awarded a 70th-minute penalty for handball against Danny Rose in an eventful encounter.

The Betrayal
It happened one Christmas day after his divorce,
Wow. Dark, intense--a powerful piece. The last line especially is fantastic. The narrator's voice is vivid and strong. Great job! And thanks for sharing!
Wow.....
(sorry that's all I got right now)
A poem of great feeling and intensity. The story makes me sad, and I hope he is ok.
My jaw's hanging... but I can say I loved the first sentence and every single word thereafter. The ending is intense.
add a third wow! here charles - this was powerful!
esp,
"I wake and hear
him climbing the walls to my bedroom window..."
and to end with thankfulness for the bullet, man...if this was real, then my deep sympathies for all
if fictional, you've probably done a huge good for many a soul out there...
thank you charles
Thank you, Adan, for your words. The poem is very literal. I really appreciate your last words, since I thought a lot about why to publish this or not.
A part of me dead to the pain, to life, to survival....and the last part esp. hit me in the stomach...you have no idea how much i can feel this... this is a wonderful, honest and raw piece charles..also like the painting on the fogged window - sets the stage perfectly for all that follows..
snap dude....you do a great job telling the story, but it is your ability to make us feel it that sets this apart for me....ugh...def carries a punch...some great visuals as well...puts us right there.....great piece charles....
I feel your pain in this, Charles. Thanks so much for sharing it with me on Twitter. I'm always left speechless when reminded of the fact that I am not unique. I'm not sure why, but this part especially sings to me - a viceral effect of sorts:
I'd have inscribed
secret signs in the moist clarity,
but all the secrets had finally drained away
like dirty water in the sink.
Powerful feelings...resigned to the painful scene that has played out before...living on the edge. I can relate.
Told in painful clarity with a ringing authenticity - there is a depth of sadness here Charles that takes real courage to write - thank you; it does help to know that others walk the razor's edge ... and are willing to articulate their experience
Amazing poem.....liked it very much...
This is very powerful writing. It gripped from the first line and didn't let up. I can' t think of anything else quite like it.
I think my fathers eyes showed it then..that sign of betrayal..
I suppose one must learn to forgive others and oneself as well. Easier said than done.A moving personal poem that I am sure many will relate to.
Best thing you've written - hands down. This had me all the way through - such a sad sad story so beautifully and brutally portrayed. Probably say this all the time- but this is poetry- pure raw human emotion. This genuinely touched me.... phenomenal
I can't add, only echo: powerful, brutal, terrifying. Beautiful language. I think i'd be grateful for the bullet, too. Thank you so much for sharing this.
From @velvetinapurrs via Twitter and at her request
Outside, I am dusk gathering, in oak arm's cradle, with a bright benign moon, listening to owls, but I hear only your poem, as night closes in..what can I say to this suffering? A brave brave poem..other's scars can cast razor shadows, burdens of responsibility, you do not deserve..a healing poem I hope for thee
Written from the gut..Chaz...I salute your brave write...Chills down to my toenails...Bravo!

Weight-loss, or bariatric, surgery, is more effective than any other approach to weight loss. It can dramatically improve most, if not all, obesity-related health problems. However, it should not be considered an easy way out or quick solution. You should consider bariatric surgery if:
- You’ve tried more conservative methods for controlling weight, such as diet, exercise and medication, with limited or no success.
- You want to avoid the very serious health problems and risks that result from morbid obesity.
Our clinic offers several surgery options. Our doctors and nurses will work with you to determine the procedure and care plan that best fits your needs.
- Sleeve gastrectomy
- Gastric bypass
- Duodenal switch
- Lap-Band® placement, management and removal
- Robotic surgery
- Revisions of previous bariatric operations
- Conversion of Lap-Band® to sleeve gastrectomy or gastric bypass
- Conversion of sleeve gastrectomy to duodenal switch or gastric bypass
- Panniculectomy (removal of excess abdominal skin following weight loss)
Results after surgery vary by person. Bariatric surgery is a tool, and like any tool, it has to be used properly to work effectively. For bariatric surgery, that means following specific diet and exercise guidelines and paying attention to signals your body is sending you.
For us, weight loss alone is not the primary goal. We want to help improve your overall health.
Benefits
The benefits of bariatric surgery go beyond weight loss. Yes, you’ll lose weight, especially in the first year, but other health problems will be improved or even resolved as well.
One of the greatest benefits is the impact of bariatric surgery on type 2 diabetes. Diabetes is a serious condition that can lead to other health problems, such as heart disease, stroke, peripheral vascular disease, kidney disease, nerve problems and more. Bariatric surgery procedures can help improve diabetes, even before any weight is lost. For many people, their diabetes goes into remission following surgery. It’s not uncommon for a person to have surgery and see improvement of their diabetes within just a few days.
Other health problems also can be improved or resolved, including hypertension, sleep apnea, acid reflux and high cholesterol.
Criteria
Your decision to have bariatric surgery is complex and should involve your doctors. In general, the criteria is based on your body mass index (BMI), which is calculated from your height and weight. The following are guidelines that can help determine whether or not you are a good candidate for bariatric surgery.
- Your BMI is 40 or greater.
- Your BMI is 30 or greater and you have diabetes, high blood pressure, sleep apnea or certain other medical conditions diagnosed by a physician.
Recovery
Surgery is performed in the hospital under general anesthesia. Usually, the hospital stay is one to two nights. While in the hospital, you will gradually advance to a clear liquid diet. Once the doctors are sure there are no signs of complications, you will be discharged. Most patients are back to work within one to three weeks, depending on the person and the job. Your doctor and our staff will discuss post-op guidelines to ensure proper healing and recovery.
Risks
All surgeries have risks. Risks of bariatric surgery (gastric bypass, Lap-Band®, sleeve gastrectomy, duodenal switch, SADI-S) include, but are not limited to:
- Conversion of laparoscopic to open surgery
- Injury to organs
- Failure of device (Lap-Band®) requiring additional procedure
- Development of gallstones
- Development of metabolic and vitamin disorders
- Suture line leak with abscess or fistula formation
- Failure of wound to heal, or wound dehiscence (separation of wound)
- Obstructive symptoms requiring additional surgical procedure
- Death
- Anesthesia complications
- GERD (gastro-esophageal reflux disease)
- Ulcers in the stomach or intestines
- Stricture (narrowing) of the stomach or intestines
- Intestinal obstruction from adhesions or internal hernias
- Bleeding
- Infection
- Excessive weight loss or insufficient weight loss
- Hypoglycemia (low blood sugar)
- Blood clots known as deep venous thrombosis (DVT) or pulmonary embolism (PE)
Cost
Pricing varies based on your insurance coverage and procedure, but we do offer cash pricing.
Additional Information
Again, our goal is to help you improve your overall health. It’s important to be sure you are ready to commit to a healthy lifestyle for the rest of your life. You can learn more about each procedure by clicking the links below.

30, 60, 90-Day Inpatient Vs. Outpatient Rehabilitation in Sheffield, Massachusetts
Getting clean from Spice, Spice, alcohol or any other substance you or your loved one is addicted to takes an individualized treatment plan. Two options of drug or alcohol treatment centers in Sheffield can help you succeed: either In-patient or Out-patient Rehab. Residential treatment offers lasting benefits with extended stays in a high-quality rehab clinic. Outpatient programs may be more convenient, but lack the stability and resources of 90-day programs to get free from drugs. Ultimately, the choice is yours, and we are here to help you choose struggling with both a drug or alcohol abuse issue and behavioral or mental issues. For instance, an addiction to amphetamine or crack combined with ADHD or depression. In these cases, a residential rehab center becomes almost a necessity, incorporating quality inpatient treatment with group support, such as one might find in AA. Luxury drug rehabs in Sheffield, Massachusetts will provide state-of-the-art treatment with upscale amenities for anyone requiring the very best drug treatment, just as Sheffield alcohol rehab centers will help those battling alcoholism to achieve sobriety.
Note About Insurance for Addiction Treatment: Humana, UMR and GEHA Health Plans usually cover at least a part of your addiction therapy, and you can find out more about your own carrier's policy or benefit status here.
Our comprehensive online database provides many options in Sheffield, MA to help you become clean. Once you have made the decision to get clean, you've taken the first step to success. Our toll-free helpline advisors can then help you take the next steps to recover from substance addiction and abuse with the highest-quality clinics in Sheffield.

How to get metal out of Baby Food March 11, 2015
During the production of baby food, the final blended mix is pumped into a bottle, sealed and then packed. Whilst being pumped along pipes, it is possible to use Magnetic Separators to attract and capture any rogue magnetically susceptible metal such as tramp ferrous metal and abraded stainless steel. The Magnetic Liquid Trap is installed in plants processing liquids and slurries in a wide range of industries and it has been used extensively within the food sector for products including baby food and chocolate. It is a simple yet very effective way of protecting against the problem of metal contamination.

A panel to look into the effects of the ‘no detention’ system till class 8 on academic performance among school students has strongly recommended a re-introduction of detentions in classes to address the decline of learning among students.
Haryana education minister Geeta Bhukkal, who chaired the sixth meeting of the sub-committee of the Central Advisory Board of Education (CABE) to review the Continuous and Comprehensive Evaluation (CCE) and the ‘no detention’ provision told HT, “We have prepared our report and will very soon submit it the HRD ministry. This will be taken up at the next CABE meeting and then a decision could be taken.”
The committee which met in Delhi on Wednesday has nine members, including the state education ministers of Bihar, Assam, Chattisgarh and Tamil Nadu.
The ‘no detention’ provision came into effect with the RTE (Right to Education) Act, allowing students to get promoted up to class 8 regardless of their academic performance. The policy, however, triggered a controversy with a section of academicians and parents voicing objections to it.
After collecting data from various states, Bhukkal said the panel found that the system had actually led to a fall in the academic performance of students.
“While there is nothing wrong with CCE and this should be continued, detentions should be re-introduced to prevent further decline in learning standards. The current system of no detention had demoralised meritorious students,” said Bhukkal.
“The Learning Level Outcomes has steeply come down from the academic sessions 2010-11 to 2013-14. This clearly reflects that there is something drastically wrong with the policy and system, which needs to be remedied.”
Besides, she said the accountability of parents and teachers should be fixed. “The current system had made the teachers and parents non serious.”
The panel has also suggested making 80% attendance in classes compulsory.
Question: What did the committee find? Answer: the system had actually led to a fall in the academic performance of students.
Question: What is the purpose of the meeting? Answer: to review the Continuous and Comprehensive Evaluation (CCE) and the ‘no detention’ provision
Question: What did the education minister say? Answer: We have prepared our report and will very soon submit it the HRD ministry. This will be taken up at the next CABE meeting and then a decision could be taken.
Question: What happened with the RTE Act? Answer: The ‘no detention’ provision came into effect
Question: What did the new law say? Answer: allowing students to get promoted up to class 8 regardless of their academic performance.
Question: Was everyone in favor of the new law? Answer: The policy, however, triggered a controversy with a section of academicians and parents voicing objections to it.
Question: What did the study find? Answer: the panel found that the system had actually led to a fall in the academic performance of students.
Question: What does the study say? Answer: the current system of no detention had demoralised meritorious students,” said Bhukkal.
Question: What does the study show? Answer: The Learning Level Outcomes has steeply come down from the academic sessions 2010-11 to 2013-14. This clearly reflects that there is something drastically wrong with the policy and system, which needs to be remedied.

Have just linked to my flickr album as not going to re-upload everything a second time.
Will be adding more as time goes by.
Had a number of issues with auto focus on 18-200mm zoom, where the focus was almost always off a bit, showing a tendency to focus behind subject, so had to rely on manual zoom quite often with that lens.

Thanks and Good Bye DRx5/11/2014
Some personal updates for you...you must have heard me ranting about my hyper sensitive skin.
So I've been a good gal following closely to my DRx product routine and not applying products anyhow on my face for the past few months. I was promised a review session to follow up on my skin redness and to replenish my stocks after the Chinese New Year period.
The excited me was glad to see significant skin improvements to my skin redness and some slight reduction in pigmentation after applying on the products. All these, until some of my products ran out. I tried contacting the person in charge repeatedly for the follow up to take place but to no avail. I was given the silent treatment. I had to make do with what was left over. It didn't helped my skin much (as I did not have the complete range of products for my treatment).
It was the final straw when my skin redness returned and I was exasperatingly looking for help. I did not appreciate this cold treatment. I thought I was alone until i found out from fellow bloggers that they too had experienced the same.
For my case, before anything was really resolved, I had no choice but to bid them goodbye due to the lack of follow-up service. I do not appreciate your silent treatment. Bloggers have pride too. Bloggers are your customers who deserved to be treated rightly, at the very least reply my email.
Therefore, I have no choice but to seek alternative treatment urgently. Nevertheless, thanks to The DRx Clinc and people who once gave me a chance to cure my skin issues.

Options:
- To help with her skin issues.
- no option among those presented adequately resolves the question

Question: How long has the narrator probably been using the product?
Options:
- A few weeks.
- no option among those presented adequately resolves the question
- A few months.
- A year or more. Answer: A few months.
Question: What is the narrator likely to do after this event?
Options:

Modified Trypsin -Promega cat. no. V5111: Dissolve one pellet in the vial with 200ul of the supplied suspension solution to make a 0.1mg/ml working stock solution. Aliquot 10 X 20ul volume and store at -20°C. Other proteases may need to be treated differently prior to usehes.
- Reduction and Alkylation: This step can be skipped for sample extracted from 2D-DIGE analysis as the samples are reduced an alkylated prior to fractionation. For 2D-DIGE plugs begin with step 3. Reduction – add 150ul of 50mM AmBic to the sample. Add 10ul 45mM DTT and incubate at 50°C for 15min. Alkylation – add 10ul of 100mM iodoacetamide and incubate in the dark for 15min. This results in carbamidomethylation of Cysteine residues (net addition of 57 daltons to each Cysteine residues).
For Gel Plugs reduced and alkylated prior to 2D-DIGE - START HERE:
- Equilbrate and Dehydrate: Remove liquid and replace with 100ul 50% acetonitrile/50mM AmBic and incubate 15min. Repeat this once to further remove residual stain (Coomassie, Deep Purple, etc). Replace liquid with 50-100ul 100% acetonitrile for 10min or until the gel slice turns white. Remove liquid and desiccate for 5min in vacuum centrifuge to dehydrated gel slices or plugs. Gel slice or plugs can be stored for months at -20°C
- Protease Addition: Prepare protease – for trypsin - resuspend 20ul aliquot (0.1ug/ul) 1:10 by adding 180ul 25mM AmBic to 20ul stock. Reswell the dehydrated gel slices in 10-15ul of diluted (0.01ug/ul) modified trypsin. It is important to add just enough to cover the gel slice most of which should be absorbed within 20min.
- Overlay: After all protease solution has entered the gel, add additional 25mM AmBic (without trypsin) until the gel slice is covered.
- Protease Digestion: For trypsin and AspN – digest overnight (12-18hrs) at 37°C. For Chymotrypsin – digest 4hrs at room temperature and do not exceed 4hrs or temperature higher than 25°C for the digest.
- Peptide extraction: Remove the supernatant, which contains some of the peptides that have diffused from the gel, to a new tube. Extract peptide from the gel by adding 15-25ul 60% acetonitrile/0.1% TFA and incubating 15min. Remove and combine with supernatant. Repeat the extraction one additional time and pipette up and down to ensure the pooled supernatant is mixed.
- Dry down the samples in pooled supernatant in a vacuum centrifuge to dryness. Do not over-dry as this may comprise peptide detection.
- Reconstitution and MS analysis: Dissolve dried peptides in 10-30ul of 0.1% formic Acid. Samples can be directly analyzed by LC-MS. More abundant samples can be analyzed by MALDI-TOF MS. Chemical contaminants that suppress ionization such as salt and detergent can be removed by ZipTipC18 (Millipore cat.no. ZTC18S096) ZipTip instructions: IMPORTANT RETAIN ALL FRACTIONS TO ENSURE PEPTIDES ARE NOT LOST.

United Power Chooses AMSC’s D-VAR VVO™ for Voltage Optimization Program
“AMSC’s D-VAR VVO™ product is proving to be an effective upgrade for distribution feeders with challenging voltage regulation issues due to dynamically varying load,” said Robert Maxwell III, P.E., Director of Engineering at
“Working with utilities across the country, we are finding the potential for D-VAR VVO™ to solve a number of customer issues,” said
AMSC’s D-VAR VVO™ addresses the needs of utilities that are experiencing rapid growth of renewable distributed generation (DG) and electric vehicle (EV) charging capacity within their distribution networks. Renewable distributed generation, such as rooftop and community solar power, and electric vehicle charging are inherently dynamic and variable in nature. Utilities are now striving to enhance their distribution grid network’s capabilities to accommodate these new resources and customers, while maintaining efficiency and superior power quality..
Utilities are also evaluating techniques to implement Conservation Voltage Reduction (CVR) strategies. This is an increasingly widespread approach used by electric utilities to increase efficiency and reduce peak electric loading on their system to reduce costs and improve reliability, with minimal impact on customers.
Question: What does CVR stand for? Answer: Conservation Voltage Reduction
Question: What is a CVR strategy? Answer: used by electric utilities to increase efficiency
Question: What is AMSC's D-VAR VVO? Answer: product is proving to be an effective upgrade for distribution feeders

At Lillian Larsen School here in San Miguel, we recently had applicants for new teaching jobs teach a demo math lesson to a group of first-graders.
One of the children is very advanced in arithmetic and knew every answer before the teacher applicants could even complete the question and demonstrate how to solve the problem. The student next to the bright student — let’s call him Ronnie — conversely struggled mightily with both language and computational skills.
Each of the teacher applicants valiantly tried to engage the slower learner and not allow Ronnie to dominate the class. The less-advanced child was totally lost, apparently due both to language and learning disability issues.
After some time, Ronnie began blurting out erroneous answers. When asked he said, “I’m just being silly. I knew you wouldn’t call on me if I kept getting every question right.”
This, in a microcosm, is the “achievement gap” our country has spent the last several decades, and many billions of dollars, trying to close. We spend an extraordinary amount of time and money on a highly admirable, extremely well-intentioned effort to address the needs of the less blessed child, who, by law, is afforded certificated specialists in very low class sizes and instructional aides for both language and learning issues in the “least restrictive environment.”
Juxtaposed to this commitment is the relative dearth of services and opportunities afforded to the accelerated child. Advanced and average students, in many cases, face large class sizes, cuts to enrichment and Gifted and Talented Education programs, and slashing of art, music and technology. Libraries are closing, and field trips are being eliminated. Advanced placement and honors classes are often the first courses to be eliminated, the justification being that services to these students are not mandated and that they will “be OK on their own,” or with support from home. Bright children are in fact at great risk and often become disruptive or withdrawn when not challenged, as Ronnie demonstrated with his intentionally wrong responses.
At the same time, in China and India alone there are approximately 1 billion students in school today taking an advanced curriculum in English. At least 10 percent of them, or roughly 100 million students, are in highly competitive, highly rigorous accelerated courses of study including calculus and physics by the ninth grade. These are the students against whom Ronnie will have to compete for good paying jobs in the global economy, and this is the real achievement gap our country had better start addressing. Who knows, with the right support Ronnie might even be able to find a cure for cancer or even balance California’s budget! Curt Dubost is superintendent of the San Miguel Joint Union School District.
Question: In the text, the author intends to say that _ .
Options:
- the achievement gap is something closely related to economic development
- the achievement gap is a very common phenomenon in developed countries
- the American government has spent a large amount of money to solve the achievement gap
- there is still a long way to go to solve the achievement gap in America Answer: there is still a long way to go to solve the achievement gap in America
Question: When the author says that Ronnie is a "bright child", he means that Ronnie is _ .
Options:
- naughty
- naughty and troublesome
- smart and gifted
- poor and helpless Answer: smart and gifted
Question: From the text we can infer that _ .
Options:
- in America, advanced students do not get much support from schools
- in America, the achievement gap is becoming smaller and smaller
- advanced education in America is not as good as that in China and India
- the number of advanced students in America is declining year by year Answer: in America, advanced students do not get much support from schools
Question: In the author's opinion, the achievement gap should be paid more attention to because _ .
Options:
- the bright children may become a burden of the society
- the bright children may lose their motivation for study
- the bright children may become disruptive or withdrawn
- the bright children will have more competition in the global economy Answer: the bright children will have more competition in the global economy

Baby Sprinkle Cookies
baby sprinkle (noun): A smaller version of a baby shower given to someone who is expecting their 2nd child, especially if it is of the opposite sex.
I think Baby Sprinkles are such a fun way to celebrate such a special occassion in a mother's life. Whether it's the second or the fourth child, it's still a memorable occassion. Now that many of my friends are becoming mothers for the second time, I have seen this trend become increasingly more popular. Who doesn't love an excuse to throw a party?
My sister asked me to make cookies for a Sprinkle she is helping to host this weekend. Think "Kate Spade meets Audrey Hepburn". Her mother took one last trip from Dallas to LA to visit a friend, and Baby Presley decide to make an early appearance in Beverly Hills, of all places! Mother didn't mind though, and was more than happy to welcome her first baby girl in such stellar fashion.
The colors for the sprinkle are black, pink and gold. After a quick Pinterest search for some inspiration, we decided on two designs. I thought it would be fun to share the process of a more time intensive cookie. These aren't hard, necessarily. But there is time involved for letting layers of icing dry, along with multiple stencil designs and details. I'm thrilled with the end result, and hope that new mom (for the second time) Karolyn enjoys her sweet baby girl cookies.
First, I applied white royal icing and let dry completely before adding the first stencil design.
Next, I filled in the circle of the plaque cutter, let dry, and then applied a quatrefoil stencil with gold spray.
After the stencil dried, I used thick pink royal icing and a letter stencil to add a "P".
Final details were then added, including a pearl necklace on the onesie and a pearl border on the plaque cookie.

Community Engagement
We aim to have a positive impact on the communities we serve, from supporting job creation and skills advancement to reducing energy and water consumption at our plants.
As our sites and operations are spread across the globe, we have the opportunity to work with many communities. We get involved at a local level and look to understand each community’s priorities and concerns.
We also pride ourselves on having some of the most passionate and inspiring people working at Morgan. Not only do our people have a real love of science, maths and technology, but many also follow that passionate spirit through into other aspects of their lives by giving back to their local communities.
We want our people to have the freedom to support what they care about most. We share these stories through our internal social media platform Yammer, where you will often see the generous spirit and nature of our employees - from bake sales to cultural celebrations and charity donations to sponsorship events.
Dedication to Scouting service
Supporting local community is a passion of many members of our Morgan family across the world, and our Group Financial Systems Manager David is no exception. David’s passion - Scouts - started with his father, who was a keen Scout whilst growing up, and went on to become a leader too; David enjoyed wearing his uniform, learning new skills and playing games with others who shared his interests.
His commitment continued through his teens, moving from performing shows in his early youth, to the Venture Scouts which involved hiking 10s of kilometres in a day and setting up camps in wonderful places. At 20 he made the natural progression to Scout Leader, From the age of 14 he had always helped his father with the Cub Pack, so that was the natural step for him and 38 years later he is am still a Cub Scout Leader.
Being a Scout is very much part of David’s family, with his brother, sons and nieces all becoming Scouts, with many continuing to dedicate their time as leaders too!
During his time in the Scouts, David has supported many fantastic activities. Some of his top highlights include a two-week Scout Camp in the hot summer of 1976, celebrating the 70th anniversary of his scout group, completing an 80km competition hike for 21 hours in the worst weather conditions he had seen, taking 17 Cubs to Normandy for a 4 day trip and the huge achievement of being awarded the Silver Acorn in recognition of specially distinguished service to Scouting (which, was presented in September 2021).
David commented on his dedication to the Scouts and the joy this fantastic organisation brings: “Being a Scout leader has taught me many skills, it has given me confidence to tackle many new things. I really enjoy watching the young people gain from the experiences that the Scouts gives them. It is great being part of a team that works so well together and watching young people grow in young adults, and in some cases I am now seeing their children join the Cubs.
Being a volunteer is no hardship if you are enjoying yourself and I have never regretted the time I put into Scouting as the rewards are huge. I certainly have not done it for the medal and did not expect to be awarded it, but it is wonderful to be recognised in this way.”
We are very proud of David and his fantastic commitment to supporting the development of young people in his community; what a brilliant way to give back and support the future generation!

The groundbreaking call came ahead of formal talks on Iran's nuclear program to be held in Geneva next month.

The Holidays are upon us and instead of feeling the joy; I have this feeling of “Oh God - tax season is almost here.” I know I am not alone; many public accountants get the tax season blues. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy certain aspects of tax season. I enjoy the challenge of applying new tax law and the continual learning that is necessary to stay abreast of tax law changes. I manage a department and take pride in getting multiple jobs out the door on a daily basis but I can’t lie, I don’t enjoy the stress. Tax season brings out the best and worst in people. After weeks of continual stress and long hours, tempers get short and frustrations acted out. I recall a tax season many years ago in a previous firm, where a partner lost his temper, slammed his door and got stuck in his office. The door literally came off the hinges and wedged itself in the frame. For many years, we all got a good chuckle out of remembering the passing of notes to the caged partner under his door. Many hours later, maintenance managed to get the door open and free him. I also remember a previous firm referring to tax season as busy season and hearing a speech by a very articulate partner about approaching it like the playoffs. Motivational speeches, inspiring words, all spoken to alleviate stress and provide the staff words of encouragement.
So as I prepare for Christmas and New Year’s celebrations, I will try not to dwell on the fact that January 1 is the start of another tax season. I, as many public accountants do, will try and savor the moment, enjoy the Holidays and not be a bean counting scrooge. But honestly, I can’t believe tax season is here again….

At Least 5 People Are Dead in Shootings Near a Northern California Elementary School
At least five people were killed in a string of seemingly random shootings today in rural northern California, including the shooter, who was killed by police. The shootings took place in seven different locations in Tehama County, about 130 miles north of Sacramento, one of which was an elementary school. This event comes less than 10 days after Devin Patrick Kelley killed 26 people at the First Baptist Church in Sutherland Springs, Texas, and more than six weeks after Stephen Paddock killed 58 people at a concert in Las Vegas.
Armed with a semi-automatic rifle and two handguns, the shooter seemed to pick his targets at random, police said. Seven people were hospitalized by the end of the rampage, including a child and an adult woman reportedly shot in a truck. An elementary school student is also among the wounded. A man dropping his daughter off at the Rancho Tehama School described hearing what sounded like a firecracker, when a school employee ran out of the building, telling children to get inside; the parent also said multiple shots were then fired through the windows of a classroom, hitting a student.
Authorities have stated that the shooting appeared to have begun as a “domestic violence incident” (a frustratingly common correlating factor among mass shootings) but did not elaborate further. Many Americans are outraged by the lack of direct action in Congress to address the need for gun control in the U.S., evidenced by a seemingly unstoppable tide of mass shootings in not only the past several years, but this fall alone. Included among them are the families of the victims of the 2012 Sandy Hook shooting, who were in court today seeking to hold Remington Outdoor Company, the maker of the gun used in the event, responsible for the deaths of 20 school children and six adult staff members. It was likely devastating for them to hear of another gun violence tragedy at an elementary school as the lawyer for the families argued that Remington used military-themed marketing to appeal to young men like Adam Lanza. The Connecticut Supreme Court will now decide if they can proceed with a trial.
Question: What was the shooter armed with? Answer: semi-automatic rifle and two handguns,
Question: What did the shooter do? Answer: seemed to pick his targets at random,
Question: Who were the victims of the shooting? Answer: Seven people
Question: What was the motive of the shooting? Answer: domestic violence incident

I appreciate your point.
I heard about this "PIGS" thing some years ago, from an Erasmus student who went to England. A University Professor (nonetheless) used the term IN CLASS. No comments.
It is not just relevant who "created" the term. Whoever uses it and delights in the "fun" of it shows his xenophobic credentials. I wrote to The Economist some months ago about this. I think I remember they answered to me that this was intended as a joke. I replied that naming names is no fun, and that this was unacceptable. I asked them to edit the piece (you can still find the piece using Google, and so the insult endures). Then I had no answer.
We can spend no matter what trying to establish an image. In the end, this easy and xenophobic stuff is what sticks.
Subcriptions, anyone? I pass. Go get an education.
Return to Sender,
Just a small point, but it´s kind of because you speak English.. The origin (much reported) of "PIGS" is not The Economist it´s the German press, so I guess they should be the first to say sorry for any slight caused.
By the way, I had forgotten.
The Economist has not yet formally apologised for refering to Portugal, Italy, Greece and Spain as "PIGS".
So you can add xenophobia to the list of "Best of British".
Maybe it is true: You are what you eat.
Britain will folllow suit with an ad krieg of their own.
Top industries showcased: Toxic finances; Best food in the world; Drinking style; Pirate traditions (newcomers take notice!); how to make an issue of where an Old Lady laid her arms around (tip: Michele Obama does not need to apologise, thank god); more tax havens than you can name (you don't fool us anymore); and some objective journalism (including such pearls as "AIG bosses should keep their bonuses, paid by US taxpayers").
Plan Obama should obviuosly favour Old England. So you can keep on lecturing the world and patronizing us.
MST1971
As Oscar Wilde was quoted "The only thing worse than being talked about is not being talked about" - my guess is that Spain is an important part of the world economy, so it inevitably generates comment.
But Spain is in a mess isn´t it! The boom years are largely as a result of construction - and the very high unemployment rate in Spain (in comparison to other developed economies) is the most visible proof of this.
p.s.
I understand your Spanish perfectly..
Estimado David Madrid,
Entiendo perfectamente lo que se ha escrito en inglés, de hecho hablo inglés a diario por mi trabajo. Por esa razón soy muy sensible a la promoción de nuestro idioma.
Y, francamente, estoy un poquito hasta las narices de los artículos-boicot xenófobos y antiespañoles de The Economist.
Así que, si quieren saber lo que escribo, que aprendan español.
If Spain really tries to indict Americans who have never been in Spain, they can forget doing much business within the US. The most influential American commentator has called for a boycott of Spain.
Sigh, Cadiz, maybe next year.
MST1971,
Well done for writing in Spanish....
You are obviously a Big Patriot, but you´re kind of missing the point or not understanding what´s been written in English!
Hola, piratas de los mares!
¿que? ¿pensando en quedaros con lo nuestro una vez más?
Pues esta vez no va a ser tan sencillo, no vais a poder simplemente hundir nuestros barcos con vuestos torpes torpedos de la crítica.
Nuestras opciones están hechas de esfuerzo y trabajo. Desde la guerra civil generaciones y generaciones de españoles han trabajado hasta la extenuación para levantar de nuevo este país. Así que estamos acostumbrados a los esfuerzos de largo recorrido. Hemos sido el pais de mayor crecimiento en Europa (y puntualmente en el mundo) durante más de una década, hemos crecido más que ningún país, hemos creado más empleo que toda Europa junta... así, que: ¡claro que tenemos opciones!. Sólo destacan los que sueñan. La consigna es: ¡deja de lamentarte y trabaja! Por cierto, id aprendiendo español, uno de los idiomas de mayor crecimiento mundial en este momento....
Spain is definitely a country to reckon with.At present it is feeling the hard pinch of recession made worse by its own housing bubble that had to burst anyway whether or not an international economic downturn was coming.
The country has a great deal to show for itself from state-of-the-art rail, road and communications infra-structure to just about every other sector of activity you may think of.Then it is by definition a lively land of people who love to work - contrary to the 'siesta' stereotypes - but know how to play and enjoy the good things in life too!
A considerable number of Spanish companies working different trades have gone international a long time ago which now enables them to jockey for a privileged position trying to clinch more than a few deals out of America's coming spending spree.
They will not necessarily be big in a country with as massive a market as America's where everyone else will want to grab a piece of the pie as well.
With character in everywhere…
Do English still think about ‘the Spain’ of the past? It is easy to judge with low topics to a big country when the ignorance is even bigger. And, is there something more beautiful that topics to characterize your country? Yes to everybody, we are at that point where those ones with no culture, even not able to write a word properly with any spelling mistake, can feel important enough like to put obstacles and doubts to our richness and expansion as country. Yes, here we are at that point where British, the same they think in the ‘old Spain’ they still feel the colonist of the whole world but with no success I am afraid… so it is time to move on. What is not known is that Spain apart from fabulous bulls, food, flamenco and weather (where most of the 90% of British would look forward to spend their whole life), in addition to that, if I had to choose between the fox hunting and fight bull, I prefer passion, between the tap dancing and flamenco I rather feelings, and between the ‘fish and chips’ and ‘paella’ I prefer taste, taste for a real life, a real concept of development in all the ways. Opening doors from the sports, cinema, culture, medicine to our biggest companies in industry and manufacturing. It is time to leave the topics, because English are not pirates any more, French do not wear garlic under the arm, and… Spain has created one of the most important tops developments in fields like aeronautics, transports, renewable energy, medicine…etc. It is bad times to everybody and if you little persons lost the train of market and opportunity to achieve challenges, at least should know how to respect and lose with good manners.
Easy to critic, difficult to win!
‘Anyone who lives within their means suffers from lack of imagination’—Oscar Wilde.
Point of view of a simple girl, Student of Engineering, Masters of Aeronautical Engineering. London. Irene Gomez
Spain is a modern nation and dont mind about topics(bullfight and other else). Spain can contribute to the world giving what make some of its companies world leaders.Obviously they are looking for benefits, and surely they will get it. They will because ideas,projects are not free. And that is what i think is the meaning of the campaign: nowadays spain can export more than rocks (you can find it wherever), spain is able to export their own technologies and ideas.
Eventually i think that's not about countries is just about progress, globalization and cooperation.
Spain - big in America? Spain has been big in America for hundreds of years. It used to rule much of America and its companies - banks, telecoms, etc - are still big here. Your article, however, appears to be about the USA, not America.
The opinion of Spaniards, is that the Economist, has a bit of envy in general the form of Spaniards live and dream of the English. Incidentally Spaniards will always have the stereotype that the English are all about Pirates without any trial.
I agree with some of the comments. Spain has gone a long way in the last couple of decades. They have the expertise and some world class organisations. I believe they will do well in America. Besides, who knows anything about the Brits besides the gossips about the old lady and her disfunctional family?
Is this not just a smokescreen for Zapatero!
I mean the aim is good, and similar things have been tried by others in the past, but the attempt to garner publicity around the whole enterprise kind of fits in with his ramblings about Spain becoming a technological beacon.. Although quite how the millions of unemployed who build/design/sell houses can ride this wave....
In the economic sphere he is a disaster for Spain and sadly the opposition PP seem bereft of anyone to take him on.
What percentage of Americans know where Spain is?
Spain is hobbled by the euro's present strength. People who are paid in euros will not be exporting to those who are not. Spanish firms may well prosper, but they will not pay their workers in euros, but in dollars.
Spain has come a long way. According to some measures, their lifing standard already exceeds the other big western european countries (France, UK, Germany,Italy). Admitly others failure helped as much as own sucess, still remarkable.
I agree with most of what is said here. Besides, I think that the most important point is that many Spanish companies prefer flying alone than under the Spanish flag. However, this year too, Spain is sending a delegation of their top Biotechs in the field of Medicine to the USA. They are going to meet with several other companies in Maryland and will be held at Johns Hopkins on May. It is a rare coincidence though, that two very different delegations with a much targeted outcome (and marketing) are looking at the US during this downturn. Might be that some of this companies have more cash than expected, and are capable to take profit of this meltdown? Any thoughts?

Motherhood changed me — beyond my wildest dreams.
I have been working from home consistently since 2006. My oldest son was born in December 2005. I did not return to my regular full-time job after my maternity leave was up.
The initial struggles were finding the right fit for a legitimate work-from-home job. I did find one as an on-call nursing supervisor for a home health agency. I had that job for about seven months until I was let go, thankfully.
In April 2006, I began working with Kristi, a woman who had a small website design business based on of Westchester County in New York.
I worked with her remotely (starting off as a virtual assistant then taking over some of the website maintenance duties) and did not meet her in person until November 2007.
We had a great working relationship, and I had a very good relationship with her clients.
In November 2012, Kristi and her husband were facing a move to Canada. When Kristi decided to move on, it made sense to transition her clients to me.
During the time between November 2007 and November 2012, I also began acquiring my own website clients as well.
So now along with the 10 clients I had of my own, I added an additional 45 clients from Kristi.
The main struggle with this was all that comes with owning your own business. I had to set up the proper banking accounts and merchant accounts to accept credit cards as a form of payment, and transitioning all of the clients over to my software.
I was not in a position to contract that data entry part out, so I took it on myself. So now aside from the business of working with clients and their projects, I now had to find time to take care of the “business” of my business.
About eight months into this new part of my work life, my cousin Liz called to talk to me about a new side business that she was doing.
This side business was partnering with the doctors who made Proactiv. They now have an anti-aging skin-care line and they originally launched their line in high-end retail stores.
After a while, they chose to distribute their products through the direct selling channel. I’m so excited to be doing that along with my website company.
I am a proud representative of the fastest growing premium skin-care line that is the fourth- largest premium skin-care company in the United States. If you are looking for a turn-key business, this is it.
As a mom of two young boys, there is always the balance of work/home life — even when you work from home.
As an entrepreneur, it is virtually impossible not to think about your business. I would not have it any other way now.
My very first priority is to my boys, and my clients understand and respect that.

The HIS 7950 manages to pull off a decent result and slots itself above a stock clocked GTX 760 and just narrowly misses out on clenching the title of beating a stock GTX 770 whilst overclocked.
When the benchmark is run in Extreme mode however, the card cannot keep up with the GTX 770 and nor would I expect it to. The 770 is the superior card but you have to give it a go, right?

Bishop Joseph R. Kopacz
By Bishop Joseph Kopacz
Recently, the United States Catholic of Bishops (USCCB) designated the week of June 22-29 as Religious Freedom Week. This has evolved from a Fortnight for Freedom, begun in 2008, a time frame that leads to the celebration of our nation’s founding on July 4th each year.
The slice of time of one is apropos for the matter, both in our society as we approach the celebration of liberty every year, and in our Church because it begins on the feast day of Saints Thomas More and John Fisher, martyrs for religious freedom, and ends with the feast day of Saints Peter and Paul, the prototypical martyrs of religious conscience and integrity of faith.
But, “it has been difficult,” says the chairman of the USCCB’s Committee for Religious Liberty, Archbishop Joseph Kurtz of Louisville “as we’re swimming upstream in this culture. Some people think religious freedom is the threat” but “Religious Liberty Week is about the Gospel, it is meant to inspire a culture.” Religious freedom is the cornerstone of our nation’s constitution. The first amendment begins: “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof..”
Speaking on behalf of the Conference of Catholic Bishops, the archbishop has asked Americans to pray and “act in support of religious liberty at home and abroad.” The archbishop went on to explain, theme for this year’s observance’ “Serving Others in God’s Love” portrays the nature of the church for nearly two millennia. Beginning with the Lord Jesus, who came, not be served but to serve, it is self-evident, in the Bible and in our tradition, that the Church is most faithful to her Lord when she wears the mantle of service on the road to salvation.
Word, Worship, Community and Service are the standards for all Christian communities, and the free exercise thereof is the capacity to run on all cylinders, both within our church structures and as active citizens in society for the common good through our church’s ministries and services. The Lord’s mandate is to go and make disciples of all the nations, teaching them everything I have commanded you, baptizing them in the name of the Father, the Son and Holy Spirit. (Matthew, Ch 28) Often, it is our ministries and services that attract people to the beauty, truth, and light of the crucified and risen Lord, breathing life into our evangelizing, teaching and preaching.
To serve others is central to our diocesan vision and at times it is a blessing to take a long, loving look at what is real, the panorama of ministries, works and services that thrive around our diocese. The vision is embodied in our parishes and in education, in health care and through Catholic Charities. It is the generosity of the faithful that makes it possible and this bountiful giving occurs on a daily basis, for special fund raising events, and through our annual Catholic Service Appeal.
On this note, I want to thank the thousands of people throughout the Diocese of Jackson who generously support our Catholic Service Appeal. It is a life-line for our mission, vision, and ministries within our diocesan structures on behalf of our Catholic people, as well as in many corners of our state as a visible sign of Christ’s love for all.
You can rest assured that your support is allowing the diocese to inspire the culture with the Gospel, to bring about the Kingdom of God, and to serve others in God’s love. This is the free exercise of our Catholic faith, in season and out or season, in our churches and in society. Let us never tire of being faithful disciples and citizens on behalf of life, justice and peace.
Question: What is the cornerstone of our nation's constitution? Answer: Religious freedom
Question: Who asks Americans to pray and act in support of religious liberty? Answer: the archbishop
Question: What is the theme for this year's observance? Answer: Serving Others in God’s Love
Question: What is about the Gospel? Answer: Religious Liberty Week
Question: What did the Archbisop ask? Answer: Americans to pray and "act in support of religious liberty at home and abroad."

“Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better. It’s not.” Dr. Seuss
These painful words of wisdom reveal why things don’t change in our lives. Sometimes we can make a difference simply by caring and others will pick up on that and start to care too. Other times however, no matter how much we care and how much we do if the other person or people around us doesn’t care things can’t change too much. But when many of us stop caring that’s when things get dangerous and start to fall apart.
If you and your partner have stopped caring for so long about each other and your relationship it’s natural to wake up one day and discover that you’ve both dramatically changed and there’s now this huge chasm between you of differences. If you stop caring about your kids one day you’ll discover that they’ve fulfilled the fears you always had. If you stop caring about your future one day you’ll discover your body is falling apart and you have no more dreams or drive.
You can change everything by caring. Yes, it hurts like crazy when you first rip that band-aid of apathy and distance off and start to work on caring again, but until you take that first step to realize you’ve been emotionally dead things can’t change. It won’t be easy but you can turn your life around and begin to have the life you wanted with some work.
If you don’t want things to improve keep doing what you’ve been doing. But if you want something different for yourself, for the children in slavery around the world, for the business industry, for those without food, for those in poverty, for those warriors without hope, it’s up to each of us to start caring. Who do you choose to care for?
Question: What happens when people stop caring about each other?
Options:
- They grow apart.
- Nothing changes at all.
- They start to care about other people.
- They start to care about themselves. Answer: They grow apart.
Question: Which of these statements is NOT true?
Options:
- You can make a difference by caring.
- Other people will start to care too.
- When many people stop caring that’s when things get dangerous and start to fall apart.
- You can change everything by caring. Answer: When many people stop caring that’s when things get dangerous and start to fall apart.
Question: How does it feel to rip the band-aid of apathy and distance off?
Options:
- It hurts like crazy.
- It doesn’t hurt.
- It feels amazing.
- It doesn’t matter. Answer: It hurts like crazy.
Question: Who is the author of the quote at the beginning of the passage?
Options:
- The author is a famous scientist.
- The author is a famous writer.
- The author is a famous doctor.
- The author is unknown. Answer: The author is a famous doctor.
Question: What is the purpose of the author writing this passage?
Options:
- To tell people to care more about themselves.
- To tell people to care more about others.
- To tell people how to care for others.
- To tell people why they should care for others. Answer: To tell people to care more about others.

Escape Room
HD
I recommend the film to everyone, but I do not know if everyone will like it as much as I do. The new cinematography style invented by Adam Robitel is exactly what it is supposed to be - a new path that can be followed by the creators of original entertainment films. The actors are also really convincing in their roles. Anyway, this genre may boast of one of the larger number of titles. I think that it is authentic, although not as strong as in the films I mentioned in the introduction. Honestly, Escape... Show more
Plot summary:
Six strangers find themselves in a maze of deadly mystery rooms and must use their wits to survive.

MISSISSAUGA ISSUES
TRAFFIC CONGESTION
City of Mississauga’s Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) traffic cameras are witnessing serious traffic congestion but is there any solution to eliminate the traffic gridlock? Yes, there is. A walkway system is the solution that would allow free movement of the citizens to and from 82 buildings around Square One.
RISING PROPERTY TAXES
Though the economy has slowed down and reached almost bottom but property taxes are on rise. They blame inflation and rising costs of goods and services. Fancy spreadsheets and grafts to justify. But, if a person has bought a condo for $100,000 twenty five years ago, never moved why on earth he/she is liable to pay taxes equivalent to a $500,000 condo? No one is listening to seniors.
RISING CONDO FEE
Though inflation is negative but some builders has risen condo fee by 5% or more. Management companies are all together in this and no politician is doing anything to stop it. What the politicians say, “well condos are run by directors, they can change the directors if they are not working to the condo owners satisfaction”, well condo directors have no clue about the game the management companies are playing or they are serving the managers some unintentionally. This must be stopped.

Second time in seahorse. They have a good location right beside han market, dragon bridge and a cafe bar down stairs. The seahorse team are very friendly and helpful:)
- 14 Nov 2019
A really lovely hostel. The staff are incredibly friendly. The bathroom isn't well designed RE draining shower water away but the staff are in there throughout the day, cleaning. The cafe downstairs is also fab and the staff there are also very friendly.

- 27 Nov 2019
Great modern hostel, clean and helpful staff. It's in a really good location, close to bars, restaurants, night markets and a bus stop where buses can take you directly to Hoi An and Marble Mountains. Nice cafe downstairs and there was a bar upstairs - although I never used it. Highly recommended.
- 22 Nov 2019
Great hostel! Above a cafe but with a lift so no problem getting to the floor. Free cooking class to make dumplings was quality, and brought a lot of backpackers together. Good area for walking, eating etc. Rooms quiet as private bunks but that’s what we wanted to perfect!
- 15 Nov 2019
Good location by the river. It's a really nice hostel although it lacks atmosphere. The roof deck has a good view of the river but then there was no one there when I went up. I guess needed more of a sociable activity like free beer or games at night.
- 27 Oct 2019
Great love, friendly staff, clean, ver comfortable beds,
- 11 Nov 2019
good hostel well located. Rooms are clean and they rent towels+ locker keys. Big downside is that there´´ is only one MIXED shower/bathroom facility per floor. I personally felt uncomfortable using it, as privacy was very limited.
- 24 Nov 2019
Pros: Nice and clean hostel with friendly staff that were willing and able to help with anything asked of them. Cons: no vibe at all. No other backpackers seemed to be anywhere near this area.
- 09 Nov 2019
I didn’t enjoy this hostel so much. The rooms were very crammed, it was so noisy with people coming in and out and the lights were constantly being switched on and off during the night. It was also very hot in the bunk bed and the bed was extremely uncomfortable. There was very little atmosphere. The bathrooms floors were completely wet and were also mixed. Okay for one night, wouldn’t want to stay longer.

One special tradition we sisters grew up with, as I’m sure have many of you, is Christmas morning stockings! How much fun. Mom always found the cutest little unique and personal things for our stockings and I am trying to carry that on with my own family. In 2014, I made stockings for me and my honey to celebrate our first Christmas together. Last year, we added James’ to the fam and now this year, I have made one for Simon! Trust me, even though it’s not in the pictures, it is made, just sent off to my friend’s to have his name embroidered on the cuff. Nothing like last minute. ;oP
This is our first Christmas in this house, and I realized I needed a way to hang our stockings together! It adds so much to the Christmas decor to see a row of stockings awaiting Christmas morning. 😉
DIY Floating Shelf Stocking Hanger
I started out with a floating shelf. This one I actually found at a thrift store, but you can find a similar one here. Since it was black, I spray painted it the color I wanted it using this paint. Then I sanded the edges to give it a bit more rustic look.
My husband had a scrap 1×3 piece of pine that he cut the same length as the shelf and we attached that below the shelf after attaching 4 hooks.
Then you can have fun decorating the shelf! My bright sparkly green trees were also thrift store finds. If you have never looked through the holiday sections of thrift stores, you may be missing out on some greats finds! These were quite battered and bent up, but I was able to fix them up and add the gold and red balls. They are the perfect addition to our bright red and green decor.
My JOY letters were from a previous year. They are just inexpensive cardboard letters. I had mod podged some scrapbook paper onto them, but didn’t quite like the look with this new shelf. After spray painting them metallic gold, they look just right on my shelf.
I am very happy with how this turned out and love that we came up with an adorable way to hang our stockings!!!
Now, I just need to get my 9 month old’s back from the embroiderer, so it can hang along with the rest of ours!
Hope you all have a very Merry Christmas and a holiday season filled with memories and special times!

Premise: Following the colorful personalities who make a living buying items at auctions is a favorite subject of TV producers. ``Baggage Battles,'' essentially a replica of A&E Network's ``Storage Wars'' minus the storage units, depicts the process of ``auction specialists'' bidding for, buying and reselling property found in unclaimed luggage. It features three teams of bidders: Laurence and Sally Martin, who have appeared on ``Storage Wars'' appraising items in their California antiques store; young entrepreneur Mark Meyer, who owns a Long Island, N.Y., thrift store; and Billy Leroy, the proprietor of Billy's Antiques and Props, a famous eclectic prop and antique store in the Bowery neighborhood of Manhattan.

Avernus
From LoveToKnow 1911
AVERNUS, a lake of Campania, Italy, about II m. N. of Baiae. It is an old volcanic crater, nearly 2 m. in circumference, now, as in Roman times, filled with water. Its depth is 213 ft., and its height above sea-level 3z ft.; it has no natural outlet. In ancient times it was surrounded by dense forests, and was the centre of many legends. It was represented as the entrance by which both Odysseus and Aeneas descended to the infernal regions, and as the abode of the Cimmerii. Its Greek name, "Aopvos, was explained to mean that no bird could fly across it.. in length, now called Grotta della Pace, through the hill on the north-west side of Lake Avernus. After Sextus Pompeius had been subdued, the chief naval harbour was transferred to Misenum. Nero's works for his proposed canal from Baiae to the Tiber (A.D. 64) seem to have begun near Lake Avernus; indeed, according to one theory, the Grotta della Pace would be a portion of this canal. On the east side of the lake are remains of baths, including a great octagonal hall known as the Temple of Apollo, built of brickwork, and belonging to the 1st century. The so-called Grotto of the Cumaean Sibyl, on the south side, is a rock-cut passage, ventilated by vertical apertures, possibly a part of the works connected with the naval harbour. To the south-east of the lake is the Monte Nuovo, a volcanic hill upheaved in 1538, with a deep extinct crater in the centre. To the south is the Lacus Lucrinus.
See J. Beloch, Campanien (2nd ed., Breslau, 1890), pp. 168 seq. (T. As.)

Lesley Leake, Karen McGee and Marice Hall staged a protest march in Barnsley in October
Three cleaners who went on strike over a pay dispute have been sacked in a move branded Scrooge-like by one MP.
The women, who worked at Kinsley Academy, claimed their pay had been cut after the contract switched from Wakefield Council to C&D Cleaning.
The three women were reportedly dismissed by C&D Cleaning on Monday.
C&D have been approached for comment but confirmed to the Guardian the trio had had their employment terminated.
Labour MP for Hemsworth Jon Trickett said: “With only days till Christmas it looks like Scrooge has been brought back to life from Victorian times.”
For updates and more stories from across West Yorkshire
Lesley Leake, Karen McGee and Marice Hall went on strike in September saying their pay had been slashed and their pensions, holiday and sick pay had also been cut when the contract changed hands after the primary school became an academy.
In October about 100 people joined the women on a protest march through Barnsley, where C&D Cleaning is based.
‘Angered by sacking’
According to reports the women were sacked following a disciplinary hearing on 19 December.
Labour Leader Jeremy Corbyn said: “I am angered that three striking primary school cleaners from Kinsley have been sacked.
“When I met them, they explained how their wages were cut following the outsourcing of their contracts to a private company.
“Outsourcing is bad for our public services and workers. The cleaners’ jobs must be brought back in-house with fair pay and conditions.”
The BBC has approached C&D Cleaning for a comment.
‘Heartless in extreme’
In a statement published in the Guardian, the company said the women had been invited to a disciplinary hearing to “respond to allegations of gross misconduct”.
It said: “The outcome of the hearing was termination of employment.
“The company will not comment further at this stage so as not prejudice any internal process.”
Unison general secretary Dave Prentis said: “These women bravely took action to protect their wages and employment rights.
“To then sack them just days before Christmas is heartless in the extreme.”

Its industrial services are based on their IP background (patents / know-how) and 32 technology platforms including micro- and nanoelectronics, batteries, solar, embedded systems, design and advanced manufacturing.
One of CEA Tech institutes – LETI, located in Grenoble was attended as well. LETI once created with a focus on microelectronics, now has expanded activities to cinatech, biochemistry, embedded systems integration, photonics, nanoelectronics, MEMS, nanocharacterization. The research priorities are based on two processes: bottom-up approach accumulating information from the laboratories, and feedback from the industrial partners, market analysis and government policy initiatives.
During this visit (May 12-14), CAMART² team had a meeting with EU project coordinator LITEN Novel Materials Technology Department, where they in depth discussed the cooperation opportunities in H2020 projects. The statistics of submitted and accepted H2020 project proposals of this department is exceptionally high. CEA coordinates about 30% of all H2020 projects, and is very active in EIT calls.

The Toki meme is real.
Toki -Tanoshii-
The tokimeki is real.
Meme magic truly at work here.
This from newest Big gangan right? That means Shinohayu leaks are here?
Couple image yeah. Check the previous thread.
Hisa when?
handholding
I knew they were lesbians.
Big Gangan needs to be renamed Ritz Gangan if this keeps up.
Ritz already has them by the balls, did you read her latest blog post? She's calling all the shots.
What did she say?
What tipped you off?
It's about time SQUENIX make a Gangan Ritz/Ritz Gangan.
It was about how her plans to cover the match for 5th place always met a sour reception.
But in the end, she prevailed and now we're getting loser-hen and we're gonna eat it up and like it.
Ritz knows what the people want.
All she needed to do to convince them was say "There will be more Toki."
Great. I love Toki.
Will buy this as a result and throw some money towards Ritz again.
Fucking finally!
To be fair I think the sour reaction was from the anime staff. The Gangan staff probably don't even get to hear about Ritz' plans.
I can imagine anime staff wants Ritz to hurry the fuck up so they can finish.
The digit ratio.
They'll animate two seasons of Tokihayu and a full length Biyori movie before the final.
is this about mahjong?
Ostensibly.
I think there is a need for this loser-hen given that Himematsu, Senriyama, Shindouji have been well received. It prolongs the life of the franchise and allows for more opportunities for spinoffs to thrive.
I don't mind so long as it's Toki doing Toki things.
I agree. But coupled with the premise that we get like 10 pages of Saki per month it's pretty horrible for the readers.
you know what, i like Saki but i dropped it because of mahjong.
So does that mean we won't unto da finals until 2020?
Nobody care about achiga or kiyosumi. I bet toki is going to somehow end up being more popular than the main series
Dying?
Either that or we'll see "Nara tournament" coverage.
Is Toki dying at the mahjong table going to be a couch gag for her series?
The spin-off was brought into existence by the concentrated essence of toki threads, so chances are high that it will be stained by the shadow of death.
Toki only got her ability in high school, so that means she only started tokying at high school right?
Scans when?
It'll be a badass story where Toki is just an average mahjong player that wants to be with her friends at the mahjong club, but she ended up having to acquire the power to protect her friends by literally gambling with her own life through her newly gained ability to see into the future.
protect her friends
From what?
S_ki-s_n k_w_ii
The evil that is Terut ime
Wrong.
This one is a dark creature though.
Didn't know you had access to internet in the bottom of Suwa-lake.
Hey, I can stream here all I want.
Pure gold, fish, pure gold.
Achiga spinoff when?
Come on Ritz, Shizu deserve better.
Does the Toki spinoff prove that the weakest will survive?
What do you want? A yama susume version of Shizu climbing mountains and playing mahjong?
Not that I'm against it.
<--- She's next.
To get a spinoff?
It will explore her origins, hinting that she came from distant space or even from what you would call a different dimension.
And it will be titled "Far, Far Awai":
Yeah.
The next spin-off is going to be about sweets.
And it will be titled "Far, Far Awai":
Haters gonna hate
No wai in hell.
What is she telling her?
"Just so you know, I play the piano."
I think I get it but maybe I don't get it.
Her fingers have a lot of strength and coordination.
Her fingers have a lot of strength and coordination.
strength and coordination.
Hey.
Girlfriend-stealing slut!
Cheating Toki
Toki is unironically the best protag in Achiga-hen.
Harue is the protag of Achiga though.
Dating 50 year old idols!
Technically Ritz only said 'a meeting about anime'. She didn't specify who else attended that meeting. And because Saki is an adaptation I think at least her editor from Gangan attended the meeting to represent the publishing company.
...
Future Ritz chapter probably gonna talk about this.
For the user.
/a/thread/141798022#p141898133
/a/thread/141798022#p141900102
yfw Achiga gets another spin-off
Has this already been posted by the way?
What did Igarashi say in that tweet?
What is Igarashi doing?
another picture from Igarashi
先日ネームがこなくて某女子高生マンガ家と担当氏に送りつけた画像
Google TL: The other day the image name gave sent to the representative said certain schoolgirl cartoonist not this.
伊藤さんとさくらちゃん。25日はビッグガンガン最新号発売でーす、よろしくです
Google TL: Ito-san and Sakura. 25 days Big pounding the latest issue released Desu, is Best regards
"I didn't receive the name yesterday so I sent this picture to the famed high school girl mangaka"
Essentially Ritz is being a slow fuck and is taking precious dragon quest time from Aguri.
famed high school girl mangaka
Who?
And that old racoon is getting badly influenced by Ritz. Harassing a younger mangaka is a no-no Igarashi.
Who?
Wish list for Toki: The Manga
Osakans doing typical Osaka things
Kinue playing soccer; trying to deal with being a non-mahjong person in a mahjong family.
Arakawa Kei deciding to become a nurse after helping Toki during a fainting spell.
Hiroe and Sera's love fights.
Kyouko riding a bike in her bike shorts.
Toki discovering Ryuuka's thigh pillow.
Ritz
Young
And sending picture of you brandishing a knife? Igarashi has balls.
Kyouko riding a bike in her bike shorts.
Honestly as long as I can see Kyouko being tormented by her lack of talent I'm happy.
Also, the spinoff should exploit the fact that same HS does not equal same MS. So future teammates could be middle school rivals and vice versa.
There could even be random girls in Osaka middle schools who later attend far away high schools in Zenkoku, like how Subara went from Nagano to Kyushu.
Random Shinohayus appearing as middle school coaches.
If a Toki: Tanoshii thread dies, does it become Saki?
Which Shinohayu, apart from Zenno, is from Osaka?
miko and delinquent playing muhjong, where is natsu
None that we're aware of yet, but Shinohayu has left Shimane only once. High crossover potential.
Toki and Subara again is great, but without Teru how can they make the match really good?
What is that thing?
They could probably make Kanna appear in some spinoff somewhere, I doubt she'll become pro.
How long until the Grandma appears? Will she be scarier than Teru?
She's managing the interhigh with Shino.
Before she got fired and replaces by Rena
I could see Kanna-sama becoming a politician. Or teacher.
Politician
I don't know about that.
Riichi stick
She do have that European hipster undeground leftist terrorist Baader-Meinhofesque vibe to her.
"She who controls the past commands the future, She who commands the future, conquers the past."
Onjouji Toki, the girl who can see one turn ahead in the future
Back in elementary school, she had no idea what the future held for her
So we may be going back quite a way with Tokihayu.
Who's the one getting paid here?
me
not doing it for free and eating hot pockets
Saki-san kowaii?
No, it becomes fertilizer where a Saki can bloom.
How does Ritz keep getting away with being so lazy?
How beautiful it is that the four pillars of saki fit together so well.
Toki dies to become fertilizer for the flower that blooms on top of the mountain while a bird flies overhead.
You forgot about the mountain that is Achiga.
It only fits together if Toki then eats the bird.
Did I?
I thought you meant Mt.Awai.
Toki is in a cycle of rebirth, and the bird carries the newborn Toki.
That's why her ability is seeing one cycle into the future, that's fucking deep man.
Also Ritz is a hack.
Could Toki be the daughter of Shino?
Toki is shit
Please stop posting Toki
Do not reply to the shitposting or baits. Just hide them.
Why is Toki so FAT
Shitposting and bait
What are you even talking about?
She is still healthy.
Not only fat, she's also stupid!
Who would win in a physical fight, Hisa or Teru?
Hisa. Teru's just a girl who loves to eat snacks when she's not at the mahjong table. Hisa on the other hand takes no prisoner.
Teru. Teru is a strong bulking lady. She could easily crush the whore's head.
You forgot to take your meds again.
Alright now Satoha v Megan, no weapons.
Who's drawing the manga?
tokitokimekimekidokidoki
On a lewdness scale from Aguri to Ritz, how lewd is Mekimeki art?
Ritz when doing art for her own private collection.
meh. Those two are fine but the other senriyama are shit.
Teruhayu would be much better
Do we know what the hayu in shinohayu means? Does it have any meaning in Japanese? I'm not entirely convinced about the Shino Hayari Yue theory.
I read a theory that it's a play on words with "偲はゆ (shinohayu)", a rather archaic Japanese term meaning something like "to reminisce", which makes sense considering it's a story of the past.
Case closed. I can't imagine anything more likely than that.
Oh that's one mystery solved. Can't believe it took this long for me to know.
The argument was also that the rather literary and high brow word choice, Ritz frequent obsession with folklore, indicated that she was a liberal arts student in college, possible anthropology.
Something more 'high brow' fits the feeling of Shinohayu really well.
Achiga: Shonen babies.
Main series: Pervert
Shinohayu: Hipster
Toki: ?
I seriously hope Toki won't be just mahjong-aids lesbian drama.
AIDS and suffering.
While I think theres interesting characters for Tokihayu I just can't see how it'll blend into a coherent story you give a shit about. Shinohayu has the whole fate of Shino and her mom, the semi-final of their third year that's just there to hype you up.
Knowing Mekimeki, that's exactly what its gonna be. Also lewd.
The Achiga manga was rushed to create enough source material for the Achiga anime.
But the vanguard semi (Teru/Toki/Kuro/Subara) was the most compelling part of the Achiga manga, and it was full of Senriyama flashbacks. Therefore, a Toki manga is needed to expand on this missing background.
So now more Saki anime is being delayed due to manga delays in 2016, indirectly because manga was rushed in 2012 to make the Achiga anime. It's like paying a debt.
But the Senriyama flashbacks were plenty good, and told what was necessary for the climax that was the side A semi. WIll Tokihayu be able to have as an intense match as that?
bring on the Toki
This
Maybe it's going to be Biyori 2.0 and go full SoL.
Hopefully it wont be Citrus 2.0.
Seems like this Mekimeki character would've been better assigned to make a Shindouji spin off from what I gather here.
Why is Ritz so proheminent in Gangan? Is Saki their best selling manga?
Don't worry, Mairu is all for open relationship.
not reading Ritz blog posts
She confirmed that her dad was John Gangan, the president of Ganagan.
I've noticed it too /a/thread/141798022#p141898422
Shinohayu is on the cover more than any other BG series.
That doujin was really sad.
Ritz is not good at planning.
Exhibit B, her propensity to leave chapters untoned to finish volume bonuses, resulting in her having to leave chapters untoned to fix older untoned chapters for the volume release, along with the volume bonuses.
Repeat ad infinitum.
Have there been any new leaks for Shinohayu yet?
Can't help it. Finding her father must still be her priority.
Since it might have been missed in the previous thread, the seiyuu for Toki's teammate and Japan's strongest first year is retiring from voice acting and Stylips to become a DJ.
no
Is Mako lifting Yuuki by the scruff of her neck there?
Yeah it was mentioned in the previous thread.
Come to think of it, didn't FunaQ's VA retire as well and they had to replace her? They'd just do the same thing here then.
I heard that this news was to be expected because she and style cube had some bad relations or something. Does anyone know anything about this? I couldn't find anything online about it?
Looking for gossips.
Gosh user, you are such a little girl!
Damn it, I've been rightfully called out on my bullshit.
It's probably Ritz's fault.
Does Ritz molest the voice actors to make sure they can properly represent her characters?
mfw Loser-hen was confirmed
I bet she'll think something else up instead of actually doing the finals after it's done.
No individuals, or Saki loses in the individuals without playing against Teru.
See you again in the Fall Tournament which was hyped also several times. With Yukiko in new outfits.
some old and new pics... cover of Big Gangan - ACCA will get an anime.
one reward is from Shinohayu.
Yue
Kano Itou manages to win a hand
"masaka..." the bird
not sure if this is the final placement, hiding it.
1. Aina 2. Shino 3. Sakura 4. Kano
And if you didn't know it from the last thread...
The next Biyori, after the unexpected break, is...
Cat Biyori #8
They just need their own spinoff at this point.
I like them, and Kana and Miharun. So it will be okay for me.
Japan was fast. Durian juice strikes again.
well, this is a new leak... I think.
Nodoka would say
trying a kokushi - never.
sometimes it works
1. Sakura 2. Aina 3. Shino 4. Kano
Probably not the final position.
win with yakuman
still only third place
Sakura confirmed for best girl.
First canon Kokushi since the individuals weren't canon.
how to tame a monster
I don't know the order of the pics, just posting whatever I found.
Also remember that because of all the renchans we left the game in East 2 with Shino as dealer, that's at least 7 hands that need to be played.
Final score at the end of the old chapter:
Aina: 43600
Shino: 32600
Kano: 24500
Sakura: 19300
That smug triplet is so smug.
kokushit
Even Nodoka would go for it if she got enough tiles.
I don't know how much SQENIX did pay for this...
Toki. In the Mainichi Shinbun (well, their online page).
hand holding not censored by text.
Anime announcement confirmed
This is fullblown advertisement, do Japanese newspaper not have to mark "sponsored content" on their ad articles?
There's an article at the bottom of the page that's marked as 'sponsored content' so maybe it wasn't paid for
次号は、表紙と巻頭を飾り、第1・2話を掲載、さらに付録も付けるという。
"The new series will be on the front cover and initial pages of the next publication with first and second chapter being released at once. And they will even include supplement material."
It's either an ad or there's a huge fanboy for the series working in mainichi.
According to JP Wikipedia Mantan Web is Mainichi's otaku-stuff section.
How is this different from "business X announces product/service Y" you see in newspapers everyday?
it's more likely that they pulled the page from their manga/anime related page, and indeed:
it's still nice to see an article about Saki in a major newspaper site.
4 chapters of Saki and the front page
I swear to Toki if we do not get an anime announcement I will throw some of my Saki merchandise off a cliff
We'll get a Biyori 5 minute web-animation, believe it.
MekiMeki > Ritz
I wonder if Ritz knows that MekiMeki is a very prominent yuri doujinshi artist. Tokihayu might end up being really gay because of that choice.
Please. The Ritz knows, but pretends not to.
See
/e/thread/1924425#p1937180
Either Mekimeki copied Ritz, or Ritz copied Mekimeki.
How old is that picture?
Side A characters showed up in the biyori OAD opening
Weren't actually in it
I was upset. We need need a Side A one.
it was the cover of an 8p doujin sold at C83 (2012) - but perhaps it is older.
And then we have Hacchan supporting Kasumi, but I can't find the pic.
She is cute
futaba transformed her in a stalker already.
First Rena and now this. Why can't they just leave Shino with Richardson alone?
Why can't they just leave Shino with Richardson alone?
Don't do that.
Shinohayu is hetero, Agri agreed, don't bother her about it.
Richardson needs to die at the end of shinohayu
Kano: "Losing because the last damn bird appeared"
Aina: "Apologise, Shino is married to the bird."
Sakura: "EH?"
(translated out of my ass, obviously)
Out of all magic abilities in Saki, attracting the bird seems like the least useful.
Lovers' double suicide explaining the conspicuous absence of Shino in the 'present' time?
next magazine will have Saki bookmarks?
That would mean
only Richardson died because Shino is alive and well in present time.
this is probably from the "next issue" page in the magazine - the homepage wasn't updated yet.
I like the
another writer joins Ritz's harem!
Spin-off is about Ako and her part-time job.
Tell me more.
It involves old men and money.
Retirement home? How noble.
Sometimes, she does it with boys her age.

Xyologic is unveiling an Android mobile app search engine that will enable people to find what they’re looking for more easily as they sift through different digital stores around the world.
Berlin, Germany-based Xyologic has announced the closed beta test of its tech, which the company has especially geared toward helping users find great games. The aim is to give users a new type of experience as they explore apps stores for the best stuff available.
The team, headed by Matthaus Krzykowski (full disclosure: he is a former VentureBeat mobile consultant), has been creating the app search engine since 2010. Krzykowski said, “Mainstream smartphone users understand that apps let them do great things on their phones and tablets; however, most don’t know what their options are.”
The Google Play store for Android has more than 493,000 apps in it. Finding exactly what you want among them can be a nightmare. Discovering the right content is the challenge of the modern app era. The logical answer is a search engine, which solved the problem of finding what we need among millions of web sites.
“We don’t claim to ‘solve’ any of the big issues of our industry,” said Xyologic co-founder Zoe Adamovicz. “But we believe we have some new, better answers. We are releasing our service in closed beta to show some of the work we have done so far, get feedback, and continue our work.”
Since the summer of 2010, Xyologic has been gathering information on how users search for apps, what queries they type, and how they behave. The company created an alpha version of its app search engine that was integrated with its partners. That generated millions of queries.
The conclusion was that demand is high for a powerful app search engine that must understand vaguely expressed intentions and general queries. Mainstream users want to be shown the best games and app alternatives within categories. Xyologic complied by offering an extensive set of choices, identifying 700 categories and more than 100 game genres, said Xyologic co-founder Marcin Rudolf.
“This allows us to show these mobile app and game genres as possible choices to our users,” Rudolf said.
Xyologic also looked at studies by Chomp, an app search company that Apple acquired, and it identified different types of users. Xyologic says that around 75 percent to 80 percent of users type in general categories — like social networking, education, or action games — into the search box. Games are the leading downloads on iOS and have also become increasingly important on Android. Around 10 percent to 15 percent of users look for inspiration, typing in search terms such as “games” and “new,” “free,” or “fun.” Just 5 percent of all users seek specific brands or titles. Another 5 percent look for functions such as “crop photos,” “block calls,” or “view movies.”
Given this vagueness in most searches, Xyologic built a search engine that gives users options at every step of the way, offering different suggestions that might satisfy the user’s curiosity.
Xyologic also puts the best apps up highest in its search rankings, giving the user an idea of the quality of an app at a glance based on community sentiments and other features.
Xyologic has also raised an undisclosed amount of funds from some prominent investors, including Rick Thompson’s (co-founder of Playdom) Signia Venture Partners, Klaas Kersting (founder of Gameforge), and Eric Wahlforss (co-founder of SoundCloud). Xyologic plans to use the money to speed the rollout of its search engine on other mobile platforms, including iOS.
Thompson said, “Xyologic’s app search is the first search designed from the ground up for mobile games.”
Question: What is the aim of the app? Answer: To give users a new type of experience as they explore apps stores for the best stuff available
Question: What is the close beta test for? Answer: To test its tech
Question: What is the team led by? Answer: Matthaus Krzykowski
Question: Who has the close beta test? Answer: Xyologic
Question: When was the alpha version integrated? Answer: Since the summer of 2010
Question: What did the conclusion find? Answer: That demand is high for a powerful app search engine
Question: How many categories does the app identify? Answer: 700
Question: What does the app search for? Answer: Games
