One of the great concepts that Walt Disney Imagineering employs is its steadfast commitment to never throw out a good idea. Even if now isn't the time for said idea, or if the finished product grows beyond the auspices of the original concept, Disney refuses to ever put a useful thought into the trash.
Throughout the years, some of Disney's best attractions have come from that refusal to give up on anything. Walt Disney's original vision for an adventure safari turned into the Jungle Cruise originally, but the company circled back to Walt's idea when they eventually built Kilimanjaro Safaris. Good ideas don't die at the Walt Disney Company, they simply go into hibernation.
With that in mind, Disney has put together some amazing concepts and projects over the years that, for one reason or another, have never actually come to fruition. But, just because those ideas never made it from page to stage doesn't mean they should be forgotten forever.
Here are a handful of Walt Disney Imagineering concepts that the company should consider dusting off, sharpening up, and building into reality today.
Way back in 1991, before Disney's California Adventure was even a glimmer in Michael Eisner's eye, the Walt Disney Company announced plans to bring its revolutionary EPCOT Center park out west, gifting unto the world a reimagination known as WestCOT.
At its core, WestCOT was a bigger and better version of EPCOT, featuring SpaceStation Earth — a larger iteration of Florida's beloved Spaceship Earth — as well as plussed recreations of Horizons, Journey into Imagination, and other EPCOT classics. Additionally, a reformatted version of World Showcase would have made the trek west as well.
Ultimately, the project was cancelled when it was revealed to be far too costly for the company to stomach. In addition to the exorbitant costs associated with building a brand new park, the massive footprint would have required Disney to acquire significant land in Anaheim — something that wasn't feasible at the time. So, the project was shelved, and Disney's California Adventure was built in its place.
Nowadays, the Epcot we know and love is very different than the EPCOT Center of old. However, it serves a very helpful purpose to Walt Disney World, as it has since become the de facto festival ground and the perfect place to celebrate artistic human pleasures. The Flower and Garden Festival, the Arts Festival, and the Food and Wine Festival all have established Epcot's place as the central spot to stimulate the five senses. Epcot has largely replaced the cold technological aspects of humanity with the warm feeling of eating food and looking at beautiful things.
Why shouldn't there be a WestCOT built on those same ideas? If you were building Epcot anew in 2018, you probably wouldn't build it the same you did 30 years ago, and WestCOT would give Southern California that same anthropological celebration space with a modern technological underpinning. And, with Disney now among one of the most wealthy companies on the planet, acquiring land likely wouldn't be as unreasonable as it seemed a couple of decades ago.

Victory for women seafarers
The NSU is proud to have contributed to a landmark decision at the International Labour Organisation (ILO) to stop sexist discrimination. The ILO's legal office has issued a statement to say that mandatory pregnancy testing will now be considered discrimination against women.
The ILO represents 186 of the 193 UN member states in the world.
Our Director of Cruise Operations at the union, Lena Dyring, was there:
"We are pleased that mandatory pregnancy testing is now considered a discriminatory practice and that this is supported by a large number of governments, a message we feel women seafarers deserve to hear loud and clear"., she said.
Our union has been campaigning on this issue for many years so we are very pleased that progress is being made.
Lena committed the union to continue campaigning for equality for women working at sea:
"We are prepared to work with the maritime partners to look at ways to provide assistance ot women whose pregnancy requires a shift in their normal work and provide a mechanism which guarantees their re-entry to the industry after giving birth", she concluded.
This was adopted at an ILO meeting in March where, for the first time, the three spokespeople for the ship owners, the governments and the seafarers were all women, including our own Director of Cruise Operations, Lena Dyring.

Why do so many British Companies ignore R & D Tax Credits?
The Government wants to give money back to British Companies that undertake research and development. Unfortunately many Managing Directors and Finance Directors and even their Accountants concentrate on the word 'research' and not on the word 'development' and so believe that this means that they will not qualify. In many cases this will not be true and so they are missing out on this very useful source of funding. If you are developing a new product or service, or making improvements to existing products and services you may very likely be eligible. Even software companies have been successful.
The scheme is designed to encourage and reward innovation. It allows innovative companies to either recover Corporation Tax paid and or receive a rebate of the NIC/PAYE generated by the business. Most first time claimants are able to also submit a claim for the last two completed year ends.
The average claim in the first year is £40k
"Can't care, don't care" – How to avoid the "Just send it" moment in your bids
This post is by Sharon Pink
No matter how important this bid is to your business….
No matter how high the value….
No matter how well you know you can deliver to that client…..
….. there comes a point in the development cycle when you just stop caring.
You've spent so much time on the research, the planning, the writing and the proofing, so many days staring at the same paragraphs, that you actually can't see the words objectively any more. The deadline is looming and, despite your rational mind knowing there are probably lots of things that need correcting and improving, you find yourself saying "Look, just send it".

Samsung is gearing up to launch its Galaxy Note 5 and Galaxy S6 Edge+ on August 13. However, the company has already been working on the next year's flagship smartphone Galaxy S7. Samsung's profits are sliding and it is losing its market share. The company badly needs a revolutionary device that would set it apart from the crowd. And the Galaxy S7 could be that device.
How the Holographic display works
Patently Mobile has spotted a patent application filed with the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office (USPTO) by Samsung. The patent, filed in the second-half of 2014, details a holographic display that can project 3D objects in mid-air. The patent describes a smartphone that can display images above the screen.
5 Charlie Munger Quotes Every Investor Should Know
Charlie Munger is perhaps best-known as the vice chairman of Berkshire Hathaway, where he has been Warren Buffett's longtime business partner. As well as holding this position, he also servers as the chairman of the Daily Journal Corporation and is a director of Costco Wholesale Corporation. Munger started his investment career in the 1960s when, Read More
If incorporated in the Galaxy S7, the technology could revolutionize the smartphone industry. Going by Samsung's historical release cycle, the S7 may not arrive until March 2016. The holographic display has long been a dream of technology giants and consumers. But the technology is far more complex than it appears.
The objects projected above the screen, as described in the patent filing, are just pre-defined icons. Users will be able to select icons by touch, and the 3D projector may use the smartphone's camera to detect interactions. Samsung uses a special case with a translucent panel to create 3D images. However, achieving the same thing with movies or photos will be a difficult task.
Galaxy S7 may run Snapdragon 820
It is just a patent, so it is too early to say if the technology will eventually make it into the Galaxy S7. Separately, a leaked internal document posted on Chinese microblogging site Weibo revealed that Samsung is testing Qualcomm's Snapdragon 820 processor for the Galaxy S7. It has sparked speculations that the Korean company might finally opt for Qualcomm's chips after using its own Exynos 7420 chipset in the Galaxy S6.
The Galaxy S7 is internally code-named "Jungfrau." The leaked internal document showed that the Korean company was adding support for Jungfrau and MSM8996 to its Android M software development plan. MSM8996 is the model number for Snapdragon 820 processor that is based on 14nm FinFET technology and offers 35% better performance than Snapdragon 810.

Former Giuliani Aide Is Found Strangled at Home
By EMILY VASQUEZ - NY Times - August 24, 2006
A former deputy press secretary to Rudolph W. Giuliani was found strangled in his Greenwich Village apartment Monday night, and investigators believe that he may have known his killer, the police said yesterday.
The victim, Martin Barreto, 48, a partner in a Manhattan-based public relations firm, was found naked in his bedroom when officers entered his apartment on East 10th Street at University Place.
A friend of Mr. Barreto's, unable to reach him by phone, had become alarmed and had gone to his building to ask the superintendent to let him in the apartment. The police were called about 9:20 p.m., and the door was opened after they arrived.
There was no sign of forced entry, struggle or disarray in the apartment, which is owned by Mr. Barreto's cousin and the cousin's wife, the police said. The apartment door was locked and no keys were missing, they said.
There were no arrests as the investigation continued last evening, and detectives were still trying to determine a motive. The police said that no robbery appeared to have occurred.
The police said the building's doorman told investigators that he saw Mr. Barreto sometime after midnight on Monday morning. Shortly thereafter, the police said,
the doorman let one or maybe two men into the building to visit Mr. Barreto
, who had left instructions that he was expecting company.
Investigators said they had not yet interviewed the visitors.
Mr. Barreto's body was found wedged between his bed and the wall, the police said. They said Mr. Barreto's larynx had been crushed, an indication that he may have been strangled from behind.
The murder dismayed neighbors, unaccustomed to violent crime in the area, and shocked many who knew Mr. Barreto in media circles and the New York City government. Mr. Barreto, originally from Nicaragua, began his career at CBS News, directed public relations for the I.B.M. Corporation in Latin America and served on the board of the National Association of Hispanic Journalists.
Mr. Barreto worked at City Hall in the mid-1990's, said a former Giuliani administration spokeswoman.
In a message released by a representative, Mr. Giuliani expressed his sympathy and his prayers "for the family and friends of Martin during this difficult time."
Mr. Barreto's sister Carolina Meyer, who lives in El Dorado Hills, Calif., said that she last spoke with him Friday evening, and that he gave no indication that anything was wrong. His professional life seemed to be on the upswing.
"He had some new business that had contracted him for work that he was excited about," she said. "I even thought, 'He's on a roll.' "
During that conversation, she said, Mr. Barreto also said he was thinking of buying another condominium in the South Beach section of Miami, having learned that the value of a property he already owns there had soared.
As for the belief that his assailant may have been someone he knew, Ms. Meyer said she did not think that Mr. Barreto had been in a romantic relationship recently. About three years ago, he ended a relationship with a man and sought restraining orders against him after the man became violent, Ms. Meyer said.
Roxanna Brightwell, who ran the public relations firm Barreto & Brightwell with him, said the circumstances surrounding the killing surprised her.
"He was always a very careful, cautious person," she said. "He was a loyal, honest man with a lot of integrity; that's why he was my partner, that's why I trusted him."

Rudy's certainly has benefited from 9/11, hasn't he.
Should be interesting to see how this develops, or doesn't develop.

In Sudoku 55555, the 5 cells in each of the 5 rows in grid 1 will also be in same 5 columns ? This happens in example.
It is NOT necessary for the five cells in each row to be in the same 5 columns. The rule is "Exactly five digits in five rows of the first grid coincide with five digits in the same positions in five corresponding rows of the second grid."
In the example, they are in the same columns. This is just a coincidence.

Thanks for a great contest Riad ! Sudokus were fantastic . Favourites are Rug Sudoku and Sudoku with Adders .
I made a bad deduction in Neighbours sudoku and although I landed up with a valid solution , to my utter disdain , I saw after the test that 2 of the outside clues weren't being satisfied.I wouldn't have minded having instant grading for this test and losing 10% of the points for a sudoku, I could have corrected.Kind of felt sore after losing full 200 points.But, nevertheless, I enjoyed the test very much.

The Guardian is making a number of changes to its senior editorial team including replacing sports head Ben Clissitt, who is to leave the paper, with deputy editor Paul Johnson.
Georgina Henry, who launched the Guardian's Comment is Free website, is to become head of culture to oversee the integration of all output across the Guardian, Observer and website after the election.
Guardian News & Media said in November that it planned to cut more than 100 staff as part of cost saving measures aimed at reducing its current "unsustainable" losses – these cuts were in addition to the 50 or so editorial posts it trimmed earlier in the year.
Clissitt, who became sports editor in April 2000, previously ran the paper's City office and worked on the G2 supplement.
His replacement, Johnson, will remain as deputy editor of the Guardian as he also takes over responsibility for sports coverage across the Guardian, Observer and guardian.co.uk.
In addition to Clissitt, the Guardian's Jerusalem correspondent Rory McCarthy and LA correspondent Dan Glaister are also leaving the paper.
Readers' editor Siobhain Butterworth is also leaving to return to her former career in law.
Chief leader writer Julian Glover will stand down from his post however he will continue to write for the Guardian.
GNM reopened its voluntary redundancy scheme in September as Tim Brooks, managing director of GNM, warned staff that losses were running at a rate of £100,000 per day and staffing levels would have to be reviewed as a result.

Saskatchewan recorded the second-highest rate of homicides and highest rate of gun-related homicides among provinces in 2018, according to Statistics Canada.
Saskatchewan had second-highest homicide rate among provinces last year, Stats Can reports
Saskatchewan recorded the second-highest homicide rate among all Canadian provinces last year, according to a recently released Statistics Canada report.
Manitoba recorded the highest homicide rate among provinces — 4.07 per 100,000 people — while Saskatchewan's rate was 2.93 and Alberta's was 1.88. Prince Edward Island reported no homicides in 2018.
Saskatchewan's rate only factors in eight of the 13 homicides reported by Saskatoon city police. The discrepancy is related to when the homicides were reported — Statistics Canada counts homicides in the year they are reported, not when they occur. Saskatoon police added four deaths from fentanyl overdoses to the annual homicide number for 2018 earlier this year, which accounts for four out of the five deaths not counted for 2018 by the national statistics agency.
Statistics Canada found that close to one in three Canadian homicides is firearm related; in Saskatoon, only one homicide involved firearms in 2018. Two firearm related homicides were reported in the city in 2017. Regina recorded four firearm-related homicides last year, up from two in 2017.
Provincewide, the agency record 34 firearm-related homicides in 2018, a rate of 1.03 per 100,000 people — higher than the national average of 0.67. Ontario had the second-highest rate of firearm related homicides, with 266 or 0.84 per 100,000 people.
According to Statistics Canada, one of Saskatoon's 2018 homicides was gang-related; in Regina, there were two gang-related homicides.
Statistics Canada also found a stark difference between homicide rates in the southern parts of the provinces compared to their northern regions. Nationally, there were 7.30 deaths per 100,000 people in rural northern areas. Rural southern areas had 1.42 homicides per 100,000 people.
In Saskatchewan, the northern homicide rate per 100,000 people was 15.36, while the homicide rate in the south was 2.52.

Jewish Center of Teaneck still debating identity
Members vote on mechitza, but still divided
Members of the Jewish Center of Teaneck voted down a controversial motion on Sunday to hold Traditional/Conservative services in the center's smaller sanctuary and Orthodox services, in which men and women would pray divided by a mechitza, in the larger sanctuary.
In the vote's aftermath, differing opinions among synagogue members on its outcome seemed to herald a conflict of visions for the synagogue's future identity.
According to Eva Gans, the synagogue's president, the majority of congregants who voted approved the motion, with 61 percent in favor. The motion was defeated, she says, because the synagogue's constitution requires a two-thirds majority, or 67 percent vote in support, to pass a motion.

"The motion was defeated despite a huge groundswell of support," said Gans. "I was glad to see how many people are willing to take this courageous step. Even though it might inconvenience them, they were looking toward the enhanced future of the synagogue."
A simple majority, 59 people, voted to pass the motion, and 37 voted against it.
"When we wrote the constitution we decided to make it a larger number," instead of a simple majority to pass a motion, she explained. "We set ourselves a very high goal."
Rabbi Lawrence Zierler, religious leader of the synagogue, was present for the vote but left for Israel before the tally, Gans said. He could not be reached for comment.
Marilyn Bell, a longtime member and wife of A. Milton Bell, the synagogue's former education director, spoke against the motion before the vote. Because her husband suffers from Alzheimer's disease, she needs to sit beside him, she says, and not on the other side of a mechitza.
"My feeling is, if I can't sit by my husband, we can't go to shul," she said.
Weekday morning services are now Orthodox, and it pains her that she and her husband cannot sit together when either one needs to say Kaddish because of a yahrzeit.
"I feel disenfranchised by the fact that I could not go to services early in the morning when I'd have yahrzheit … for my and my husband's parents, because those are Orthodox services."
Bell added, "I think the handwriting is on the wall. Now they are voting to make the larger sanctuary Orthodox and the smaller sanctuary Conservative. I feel in two years they'll be voting to close down the Conservative section altogether."
Bell says she bases this prediction in part on a presentation before the vote took place.
"The fellow who gave the presentation said if we can make the whole temple Orthodox we'd have no problem filling it with members," said Bell.
The center has had Orthodox services for many years, only without the mechitza, Gans maintained. The synagogue uses an Orthodox prayer book, she said.
Members concerned about sweeping changes should realize the mechitza is the only one expected, according to Gans.
"When [some members] say they don't want [the center] to be an Orthodox synagogue, they mean they don't want a mechitza – because these services have been Orthodox all along," she said. "Nothing else would change."
Everone interviewed by The Jewish Standard said that tensions regarding this motion have not spilled over to synagogue social life.
At kiddush following services, "Everyone gets along and no one looks at anyone else and wonders which service they prayed in," said Gans. "A number of people go back and forth just for the fun of it."
Bell says she feels no ill will to those supporting the mechitza and sees the conflict as a clash of visions, not as personal.
"My feeling was that if they relegated us to the smaller room where there are no memorial plaques [for our family], we would have looked for another temple," she said, adding that for now, she and her husband are happy to remain members. "You can't lose sight of friendship."

NVIDIA video cards of the new generation will debut on August 20
The fact that NVIDIA is preparing a new generation of video cards has become known for quite some time, and during this time the novelties have acquired various rumors and leaks. However, when exactly they will be presented, it was not known exactly. Until now.
As reported by our western colleagues, NVIDIA planned on August 20 an event called GeForce Gaming Celebration. On it, she promised to show "the newest GeForce equipment", as well as some "impressive surprises".
At this event there will be stunning new computer games launched on the latest GeForce equipment, class presentations on stage, food and drinks, and impressive surprises.
The holiday will begin at six in the evening (Central European time) on Monday, August 20. »
Apparently, this event is scheduled for the day preceding the day of the GamesCom exhibition start. It is very likely that on it invited representatives of the press will receive samples of new video cards for testing, so that on this day you can wait for the first official details. At the exhibition, NVIDIA can easily present its novelties to the general public, which will allow it to attract maximum attention.

Apple Crisp with Caramel Sauce
Zach went to one of many organic markets in our area and came back with apples, which normally August would choose not to eat. However, she ate all of the dessert served to her this evening, even with Fuji apples from Yakima. This simple recipe with a scoop of Straus Family Creamery ice cream will surely delight all who try it.
Makes 8-10 servings
• For the apple crisp:
8 medium sized Fuji apples
1 1/2 cups of packed brown sugar
1 cup of all-purpose flour plus 2 tbs.
1 cup of whole oats, not quick-cooking oats
3/4 cup of white sugar
2/3 cup of softened salted butter
2 tbs. of freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 1/2 tsp. of ground cinnamon
2 tsp. of Nielsen-Massey vanilla extract, divided
1/2 tsp. of freshly grated nutmeg
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Wash, peel, and core apples.
Cut into about 1-inch pieces. Stir together 2 tbs. of flour with white sugar in a large bowl, then toss in and combine with apples, lemon juice, cinnamon, only 1 tsp. of vanilla extract, and nutmeg. Stir well until coated evenly.
Make sure the butter is at room temperature. Combine all remaining ingredients and mix thoroughly with a Kitchenaid stand mixer until crumbly and about the size of small pebbles or peas. It will take only a few minutes to mix, so try to avoid overmixing or else it will become tough in texture.
Layer and pack half of the apples in one of two Pyrex glass baking dishes sprayed with non-stick spray.
Lightly fill in the voided areas between the apples on top with the crumble mix. Very gently pack in place, then add another layer of crumble. Use your fingers to break and evenly distribute the crumble; the goal is not to pack down the second layer, but to build height and ridges.
Bake for 45-50 minutes on a sheet pan until crumble is golden brown. The apples will be tender.
If you choose to let it cool before serving, don't be surprised when it deflates. We waited because we didn't want the ice cream to melt within seconds.
• For the caramel sauce:
1 1/2 cups of Straus Family Creamery organic heavy cream
1 1/2 cups of white sugar
2/3 cup of water
1 tsp. of Nielsen-Massey vanilla extract
Combine water and sugar in a heavy, thick-bottom saucepan. Heat on medium-high for 7-9 minutes until you achieve a medium to medium-dark amber color.
Do not stir during these 7-9 minutes.
Stirring constantly now, slowly add the heavy cream and vanilla extract.
Cook for 4-5 minutes until the hardened caramel is smooth and dissolved, and the sauce starts to thicken.
This is the finished sauce. It will thicken more as it cools, but if you are going to transfer it to a glass bowl like Chef Zach did (see above), wait a bit so that you don't shock the glass and crack it. If you want an extra thick caramel sauce, you can put it in the refrigerator.
Layer apple crisp, vanilla ice cream, and caramel sauce. The Arakawa Pottery makes the dessert all the more pretty. Locally sourced ingredients and dinnerware help us to honor Earth Day.

I loved Ally's Totoro-shirt
Hi, I really enjoy your comic and suggested it to many friends. I noticed something though as I am close to a community with many people who have (physical and mental) disabilities. Maybe you could make the characters reflect on or simply quit ableistic terms like "this is *insane*"? It throws a bad light on people with mental disabilities and I am sure most of your characters wouldn't want that. 😉
PS: the tshirts <3
Greetings from Germany!
I do like the Totoro and Tiny Unicorn shirts, but I love the 5 gold & a party one! I wouldn't have expected to see a Titansgrave reference…anywhere, really, haha. Love it!
Westerns lasted for a while. Superheroes will go on for a bit longer but eventually people will get sick of it as more and more companies jump on the bandwagon. Then again, there is a lot of diversity within the genre ranging from dark fantasy to to comedy.
Don't think I didn't notice that Lars in the crowd!! 😀
Lar D.? Where is that insane man in this strip??

The first thing you're going to need to do is select a file to save to (you have three), and create your character. Your character is more or less fully customizable (aside from body types, alas), so go wild. You can even give yourself a bright pink beard. Unlike in 4 Ultimate , you will not be customizing your primary Palico right away. That will come later.
Towards the end you will be asked to select a panel scheme for the touch screen and a hunting style. Don't worry, these can all be changed in-game to your heart's content, and are not set in stone. Once all is well and done, you will be sent to your very first village: Bherna Village . Welcome to the world of Monster Hunter !
There is no storyline in this game, not even an excuse plot, so you have a lot more free reign. This comes at the cost of very little in the way of tutorial or guidance, but don't worry, we've got your back. So first things first! Red speech bubbles indicate that you must talk to the person to unlock more quests and progress. So make sure you hit up all of them. Yellow speech bubbles are optional. Any facility that you haven't used yet will have a yellow speech bubble and when spoken to, you will receive a short tutorial/overview of what they offer. Additionally, random NPCs with yellow speech bubbles will usually have some sort of village request , which we will cover later.
So first, talk to the Bherna Village Chief . He'll inform you that you're here to work for them as part of the Wycademy Guild. That's about all the plot you'll get—you're a hunter for hire, a mercenary who, for the duration of the game, will be able to work for Bherna Village and a variety of other villages too. Check out the Villages section of our guide for a detailed rundown of the four major village hubs of this game!
Once you're done talking to all the red speech bubble people, be sure to visit the Palico Ranch. There you can customize and recruit your first ever Palico, meet Neko (means "Cat"), and a variety of other things. Check out our Facilities guide section for more details. Additionally, be sure to visit your House , the little grey building. You're a lucky little hunter and you have your own Housekeeper , a very capable Felyne who will handle a variety of tasks for you, and also is where you can access DLC.
After all of this, you can then talk to the Bherna Gal . She's the girl in the blue by the Purr-prietess, a Felyne cook who will cook your meals for you. From here, you can accept Quests. You will see two tabs, Training and 1 Quests* . Training Quests are where you will find tutorial quests. Remember in previous games how you had to do all this mandatory herb-farming, potion-making, meat-cooking stuff before you can take on the real quests? Well if you're a series veteran, you no longer have to do them! And if you're a series newcomer, you should probably do these. They aren't mandatory and they have some modest rewards, but will be worth your while if you have never played Monster Hunter before. Training Quests, due to their straightforward nature, will not be covered.
In order to progress to 2* Quests, you will need to complete Key Quests , quests the game has decided must be cleared. Of course, the game is also quite secretive about which quests are key. The Bherna Gal will sometimes drop a few hints, but for the most part you're left on your own. Clearing every single quest will give you a nice, pretty check mark, so that's one way to ensure you're getting everything done. But if you're in a hurry, we'll let you know which quests are the important ones.
You are now officially an expert on how this game will progress!
…Oh, you're not? Well, don't worry, the other sections of this guide talk about all of these things more in-depth, and we'll be covering them as we go.
Quests will be displayed in this guide in a table format so that they are easy to find and read. Pertinent information will be displayed in a very short paragraph below said quest. Quests without any really important notes will just be displayed in one continuous table. With the exception of 1 Quests* , all quest tiers will present the key quests first , then the non-key quests, so you can see what's important.
Find the Ferns
Objective: Deliver 8 Unique Ferns
Location: J. Frontier
Subquest: Deliver 10 Unique Mushrooms
Notes: This is the first quest on the list and is a key quest—the closest thing you'll get to a mandatory tutorial and thankfully so. Unique Ferns are Account Items . They have no use to you as a hunter and exist to be delivered to clients or converted into resource points. You can find them at plant gathering spots alongside actually-useful items such as Herbs, Antidote Herbs, etc. The area you will be at is the Bherna Village area, Jurassic Frontier. Cheesy name aside, this is a pretty basic area that contains a diverse number of places—open fields, caves, a wyvern's nest… A good starting area as any. Fern gathering areas are everywhere, such as areas 1 and 2.
The subquest, delivering 10 Unique Mushrooms , involves gathering anywhere you see mushrooms on a log. Areas 6, 4, and 11 are a good start. When you return to base camp, be sure to deliver to the red box , and deliver subquest items first!
Fungal Hunt
Objective: Deliver 5 Abyssal Mushrooms
Location: J. Frontier
Subquest: None
Notes: Completing "Find the Ferns" unlocks this quest. Abyssal Mushrooms can be found only in areas 9, 10, and 11 of Jurassic Frontier. Their item description and their name notes that they only grow in darker parts of the forest, so take that to heart as you search. This is a key quest!
Wipe Out!
Objective: Slay 10 Maccao
Location: J. Frontier
Subquest: None
Notes: This is the third Key Quest. You are tasked with slaying little mooks called Maccao. They're the bright green dinosaurs that are running around Jurassic Frontier making a nuisance of themselves. They're everywhere too, so it'll be easy to kill 10. No subquest this time!
Complete any one of these quests (I recommend you deliver some Unique Ferns to get it over with) and then talk to the Bherna Chief again. You will be given an official introduction to Village Requests!
Village requests come in two flavors: Quests and deliveries. A re-quest (ha!) will take the form of a standard quest and when completed, you will usually talk to the person again for a reward (which usually takes the form of resource points , secondary currency you can use for a variety of transactions). Deliveries require you go to the Palico Ranch to talk to the NPC Neko (means "Cat") and then deliver the required items. Afterwards you receive a reward.
Your very first request will come from the Palico Ranch. You'll probably first notice that the Dojo is open for use, but you have more important matters at hand right now! See the girl by the big Moofah? In case you haven't met her yet, she's the Palico recruiter. She needs some help, too.
Another Pack Attack
Objective: Slay 10 Jaggi
Location: J. Frontier
Subquest: None
Notes: This is the final Key Quest. Jaggi are smaller purple dinosaurs. Players from 3 or 4 Ultimate will be familiar with them. There are going to be some larger purple dinosaurs running around, those are Jaggia , female Jaggi, and will not count towards your total kill count. They are annoying though so you might want to kill them anyways—they yield two carves instead of one, as well. Area 5 spawns Jaggi continuously and you can also check out areas 8 and 9.
After you have completed the four key quests in this tier, talk to the Bherna Chief, he has some urgent news…your very first Urgent Quest! These quests are going to be a step up in difficulty from what you've been used to, but clear them and you can go to the next level of quests (in this case, 2*). So what are you waiting for? Get to it!
URGENT: Vaulting Outlaw
Objective: Hunt a Great Maccao
Location: J. Frontier
Subquest: Slay 5 Maccao
Notes: This is your first ever quest where you're hunting a large monster . These monsters are going to be much larger in scale than the small Maccao or Jaggi, have a much larger diversity of attacks plus a more sophisticated AI, and can be targeted with the L-trigger camera lock. You got this game for these.
Sorry to disappoint you though. You first ever large monster is a Great Maccao , the souped up alpha male of the Maccao, and he's not as impressive as you think he is. Head to Area 5 for his introductory cutscene and start wailing on him! Be sure to bring Paintballs to throw at the Great Maccao to mark him on the map—he travels using paths that you, the hunter, can't access, which may throw you off a little. The subquest, slaying 5 Maccao, should happen automatically as they get in your way and die.
Completion of this urgent will unlock the 2* Quests. You'll get some cooler bigger monsters now, I promise. You'll also unlock more ingredients at the kitchen, so go make some new recipes! And, finally, you will be able to use the services offered by the Flight Cattendant . This allows you access to the other three villages: Pokke, Yukumo, and Kokoto Village . These are all villages present in previous Monster Hunter games and will come with their own slew of Village Requests. It'll get pretty messy pretty fast but we've got you.
