- Why is it important to incorporate considerations of quality of life, well-being, liveability and "Right to the City" in urban public policy?
- What does a liveable city look like? What are its characteristics? (e.g. parks; social events; transport; etc.)
- Which indicators should we consider in order to measure and evaluate the quality of urban life?
- What are some current public policies, social programs and urban development strategies aimed at improving the quality of urban life in Latin America?
- What additional public policies could be incorporated to improve the quality of urban life? Who should be in charge of implementing them?

What signs to use in specific domains is problematic. For example, the addition sign, the 'plus' sign originated in the number domain, the arithmetic domain. If you are going to use numerals as signs, the appropriate signs that indicate 'operations' are the familiar ones: + – X and 'divide' which is generally not easily accessed in a normal font set, as in this case.
The issue is that if at the moment we are in the ROD MARK MAKING DOMAIN and manipulating real rods in order to see things which we then want to 'write down', should we have for example a special sign which means, 'put the rods end to end'? It would be easy to say 'What's the problem, just go ahead and use the normal signs.' I have done this, and to be honest I am not sure that this is a bad idea. It seems easy and obvious, mainly because people in general including teachers don't know of any other domain-specific signs. (THESE DO EXIST HOWEVER)
It can certainly be construed as being ambiguous, particularly by some modern rod proponents and almost undoubtedly philosophers of maths. They say that DOMAINS should keep their MARKS specific and separate. What to do, what to do?
More of this later…

On Snowden Mountain
Publisher's Summary
Twelve-year-old Ellen learns the quiet strength of family when her mother's deep depression prompts her to ask an estranged aunt for help.
Ellen's mother has struggled with depression before, but not like this. With her father away fighting in World War II and her mother unable to care for them, Ellen's only option is to reach out to her cold, distant aunt Pearl. Soon enough, city-dwelling Ellen and her mother are shepherded off to the countryside to Aunt Pearl's home, a neat little cabin at the base of Snowden Mountain. Adjusting to life in a small town is no easy thing: the school has one room, one of her classmates smells of skunks, and members of the community seem to whisper about Ellen's family. But even as she worries that depression is a family curse to which she'll inevitably succumb, Ellen slowly begins to carve out a space for herself and her mother on Snowden Mountain in this thoughtful, heartfelt middle-grade novel from Jeri Watts.

Not liberal "astroturf", but real people making a difference.
For a second time this week, a large cache consisting of improvised explosive device-making material and mortar rounds was turned over to Coalition Forces by the "Neighborhood Watch" in Taji, Iraq.
The Taji neighborhood watch contacted Coalition Forces June 25, after the driver of a truck fled the scene when the volunteers stopped a suspicious vehicle moving through the rural village of Abd Allah al Jasim. The vehicle contained 24 mortar rounds, two rockets, spare machine gun barrels, small arms ammunition and other IED-making material.
"This grassroots movement of reconciliation by the volunteers is taking off all around us. The tribes that had once actively or passively supported al-Qaeda in Iraq now want them out," said Lt. Col. Peter Andrysiak, the deputy commander of the 1st "Ironhorse" Brigade Combat Team, 1st Cavalry Division.
The neighborhood watch is made up of a group of 500 volunteers, from a number of tribes in the area, who want reconciliation with the Coalition Forces and the Iraqi government. The volunteers are currently being vetted for possible future selection for training as Iraqi Police or some other organization within the Iraqi Security Forces.

Instructional research in German-speaking countries has conceptualized teaching quality recently according to three generic dimensions, namely, classroom management, student support and cognitive activation. However, as these dimensions are mainly regarded as generic, subject-specific aspects of mathematics instruction, e.g., the mathematical depth of argumentation or the adequacy of concept introductions, are not covered in depth. Therefore, a new instrument for the analysis of instructional quality was developed, which extended this three-dimensional framework by relevant subject-specific aspects of instructional quality. In this paper, the newly developed observational protocol is applied to three videotaped mathematics lessons from the NCTE video library of Harvard University to explore strengths and weaknesses of this instrument, and to examine in more detail how the instrument works in practice. Therefore, we used a mixed-methods design to extend the quantitative observer ratings, which enable high inference, by methods from qualitative content analysis. The results suggest the conclusion that the framework differentiates well between the lessons under a subject-specific perspective.

NIMASA ex-acting DG, Jauro opts for plea-bargain
The former acting Director General of the Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency (NIMASA), Haruna Jauro has initiated a plea-bargain process with the Federal Government.
Jauro and two others are being prosecuted for an alleged N304.1 million fraud by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) at the Federal High Court, Lagos.
As a result, the trial judge, Mojisola Olatoregun has adjourned till November 21, 2016 for a report on the plea-bargain process.
EFCC prosecutor, Mr. Rotimi Oyedepo yesterday informed the court that the defendants had approached the anti-graft agency to explore the option of plea-bargain.
He said: "I confirm the intention of the defence to enter into a plea-bargain with the prosecution."
Jauro's counsel, Chief Babajide Koku (SAN) also confirmed to the court that his client had decided to enter into plea bargain with the EFCC.
Jauro, Dr. Dauda Bawa and a firm, Thlumbau Enterprises Limited were arraigned on 19 counts on April 12, 2016 by the EFCC.
Jauro assumed the leadership of NIMASA following the sacking of an erstwhile director general of the agency, Patrick Apkobolokemi, who is now being prosecuted alongside others for multi-billion naira alleged fraud in the agency.
The EFCC accused Jauro and others of conspiring among themselves to defraud NIMASA to the tune of N304.1 million between January 2014 and September 2015.
The anti-graft agency alleged that the defendants converted the sum to their own.
Oyedepo told the court that the accused acted contrary to Section 15(1) of the Money Laundering (Prohibition) (Amendment) Act, 2012, and were liable to punishment under Section 15(3) of the same Act.
The defendants, however, pleaded not guilty to all the counts, following which they were admitted to a bail of N5 million each with two sureties in like sum.
Koku said his client took the decision on Monday and had already commenced talks with the EFCC.
He said: "It (plea-bargain decision) came up this morning. I discussed directly with my learned friend, the prosecuting counsel."

Another antelope, the gerenuk, is able to stand on its hindlegs to eat leaves from nearer the top of the tree and, of course, giraffes can reach even higher. Elephants have the ability to stand on their back legs to reach high branches and they can use their bulk to push over the whole tree, so that they can browse on the leaves at the very top of the tree, which even the giraffes cannot reach. Thus five species are using the same tree for their food but each is eating the leaves at a different height.(b) The acacia produces tough seed pods, which are eaten, but the seeds are not digested by the browsers. The seeds are deposited in their faeces at some distance from the parent tree, thus spreading the seeds across a wide area and allowing the acacia to increase its range.

I first met Dr. Jon Hare four years ago when his wife booked a fishing charter for him and his son John on my boat. We went summer flounder (fluke) fishing. At the time, I was one of eight captains participating in the Rhode Island Fish for the Future
I first met Dr. Jon Hare four years ago when his wife booked a fishing charter for him and his son John on my boat. We went summer flounder (fluke) fishing. At the time, I was one of eight captains participating in the Rhode Island Fish for the Future Cooperative. For the cooperative, we recorded our fishing catch and effort on computer tablets on board in real time and the tablets were GPS based. So catch, effort and exact locations where the fish were caught were recorded and the data was sent to scientists and fish managers for evaluation.
Dr. Hare loved the idea and gleefully participated in the fish recording effort. What was most impressive to me over the years was John's energy and his work with climate change and its impact on the fish. Dr. Hare is a world renowned expert on the subject, has been the director of NOAA's Narragansett Lab and last week, he was appointed the new Research Director for NOAA's Northeast Fisheries Science Center. This is one of NOAA's top science positions, certainly the top position in our region.
Dr. Hare will lead NOAA Fisheries' northeast labs and field stations. However, Dr. Hare will continue the work of planning, developing and managing a multidisciplinary program of basic and applied research on the living marine resources of the Northeast Continental Shelf Ecosystem from the Gulf of Maine to Cape Hatteras, North Carolina.
In addition to being a pretty good fluke fisherman, Dr. Hare has held various positions with NOAA Fisheries for more than two decades, winning multiple awards for his leadership and administrative capabilities, as well as for his research. Most recently, he served as Supervisory Research Oceanographer and Acting Ecosystems Processes Division Chief for the NEFSC Narragansett Laboratory. In this role, he managed division research while also managing personnel and research resources for five different locations in the center.
Congratulations Dr. Hare. You have been a friend of the fish and fishermen. The commercial and recreational fishing communities wish you well in your new position.
Narragansett Chapter of Trout Unlimited to meet Nov. 16

Brucato will conduct the instructional tying session, as well as provide a short presentation about using the flies that are tied at the meeting.
Contact Dick Diamond, chapter vice president, at email@example.com with questions.
Where's the bite?
"Striped bass and very large bluefish have been biting all along the southern coastal shore. Mature Atlantic menhaden were being pushed up onto the beach at East Matunuck. We had a surf fisherman land a 34-pound striped bass casting eels," said Matt Conti of Snug Harbor Marina, South Kingstown. Manny Macedo of Lucky Bait & Tackle, Warren, said, "One of the guys here has been catching school bass in the Bay at a rate of six or seven each outing. We also had a customer catch a 36-inch fish with a pogie at Popasquash Point, Bristol."
The bass bite at Block Island has been hit or miss as fish migrate south this time of year. Gil Bell of Charlestown, R.I. weighed in a R.I. Saltwater Anglers Association Hall of Fame entry for blue fish last week. The fish was 39.5 inches and 16.9 pounds. Gil said, "I caught the fish using a 9-inch, 4-ounce Mike's Custom Plug. I was fishing a South County beach where the big bluefish were chasing schools of adult bunker (Atlantic menhaden). Several double digit bluefish were caught that day."
"Cod and black sea bass bite has been good at Shark's Ledge with no reports from Cox's Ledge as of yesterday (Saturday). It was the first day customers have been able to get out with rough seas," said Matt Conti of Snug Harbor. Capt. Frank Blount of the Frances Fleet said, "Tough windy weather kept the cod/sea bass boat dockside with the exception of this past Saturday where a boat limit of big sea bass to four pounds were caught with a few nice green cod into the low teens, along with plenty of platter-size scup to just under three pounds."
The weather is expected to improve with calmer seas this week, so cod fishing should improve.
"Tautog fishing has been outstanding from Providence to Brenton reef. We weighed in fish to seven pounds for the Aquidneck Island Striper Team tournament. Tautog are biting all along Water Street too," said Manny Macedo of Lucky Bait & Tackle. Ken Ferrara of Ray's Bait & Tackle, Warwick, said, "Tautog fishing has been very good with anglers catching fish in the Bay at Hope Island and Coddington Cove."
"The tautog are starting to move out of the Bay with a good bite at Whale Rock, Beavertail and Brenton Reef," said Matt Conti of Snug Harbor Marina.
Capt. Frank Blount of the Frances Fleet said, "Some big fish were taken this week, including Wayne Gunderman's 11-pound tautog and we weighed in one just a bit less than 12 pounds this Saturday, along with a fair number of other fish in the 8- and 9-pound range. There were some limit catches this week on each trip. The best day of the week was Thursday with the boat being just a few fish short of a full boat limit."

Variety is the spice of life and when it comes to advertising, banners and signs are the spices! The banner that is displayed by a company or event can make or break the goal. If you have a great advertising campaign of banners and signs that are eye-catching, look professional and convey the message clearly, the return on investment will be amazing.
There are literally unlimited varieties, styles, colors and more that you can choose from when creating your signs and banners. Some people decide to create custom banners and custom signs while others choose among the available stock which is pre-made. Whichever the situation, signs and banners can increase your business tenfold.
Two of the most common banner types are vinyl banners and banners that go on banner stands. Vinyl banners are heavy duty and withstand a large range of temperatures and outside conditions. There is also a mesh banner option for those that need a signage option that can withstand extreme wind gusts without folding over. The banner stand is a display tool to help unroll and prop up a banner so all can see it. There are retractable banners stands, X stands, L stands, double sided and more.
If you are not interested in creating a custom banner, you can always choose to select from thousands of pre-made banners that cover subjects from A to Z including fire sales, clearance sales, now hiring, now leasing and more. Choosing a pre-made banner is fast and convenient.
If looking for traditional sign options, A-frame sidewalk signs, posters, poster stands, gator board signs and foam board signs are also available. Retail stores, business get-togethers, trade show vendors and more find these sign options economical, easy to implement and eye-catching.
Finally, you may want to consider methods of sign advertising that has become more and more popular throughout the years.
Should you loved this short article and you would love to receive more details about Pavement sign kindly visit our web-page.
Such advertising includes window clings and magnetic signs. Magnetic signs have taken off in the past few years due to the fact that they are easy to use, versatile, removable, long lasting and cost effective. Those who make the greatest use of magnetic car signs include real estate agents, those in the service industry and delivery vehicles.
All of these sign options are fully customizable and come in many different styles, shapes and colors. A business can effectively utilize banners and signs to gain brand recognition, sale revenues and event participants. Incorporating a logo on signs and banners is also important to ensure you are representing your company or organization to the fullest extent.

Hey everyone I just finished my first project! Not the most visually appealing but at least it works haha!
The whole process was super fun, I came across one of those programming moments where suddenly the code is working and you have no idea how. I'm not too sure if I overused searching answers on Google, I'd constantly be looking at w3schools. How often should I use Google to troubleshoot or is better to try my best in figuring it out on my own?

Introduction: How to Make a Keyboard Night Light
Hello! I'm Sushin and this is my first Instructable.
I'm sorry if I misspell anything, I'm Brazilian and my english is not so good.
You like using you computer in the dark? I do!
But sometimes I wish there we some light to help me find the right keys. So, I've decided to make my own Keyboard Night Light!
(This instructable was done all using the Keyboard Night Light!)
Step 1: Parts
"Cool! What do I need to make this project?!"
Well, this is what you need
The Keyboard Night Light is made in modules, so you can put together how many modules you want
Each module uses this parts:
- 2 Female Modu Pins (each one with 2 inputs).
- 4 LEDs (I used Blue ones)
- 4 68Ohm Resistors
- 1 Prototyping board
- Some Wires
"Nice! What tools do I need?!"
- Some Soldering Wire
- A Soldering Iron
- Some Shrink Tube
- Maybe a Desolderering-stuff-that-I-don't-know-the-name-in-English
Step 2: Building It
Let's get this started!
Well, it's pretty simple, for real
just follow the schematics at the picture!
if you do it right, than yay! You just made one module!
PS: Don't forget to mark which pin is the Positive and the Negative!
Step 3: Connecting It
"Ok, but what I use to connect the modules?"
Yeah! But you can solder cool Modu pins and secure them with some shrinking tube!
Step 4: Powering It
"Cool! But where I can plug this?"
Well, you can use any +5V Source
I used my computer's power supply, there's a +5V output on it's back
But you can use a USB cable too!
(I really need to add a switch to turn it off...) (EDIT! Check step 6!)
Step 5: Where Do I Put It?
Well, you need to cconsider your desk setup
Here's how I made it
Step 6: Now What?
So what's next?
Well, I will add a switch to turn it off and maybe a dimmer.
But if you have any other ideas let me know!
I temporarily added a switch to turn it off, i used 3M double-sided tape to glue everything up, pictures below
Step 7: Final Considerations
Well, that's it!
Thank you all :D please leave a commentary!
I plan to write more Instructables soon :D
Be the First to Share
How can you use 4 LEDs with just 5v? You even used 4 68ohm resistors o.0

Only one of three remaining
This is in mint un-used condition. It was bought still in its original box that was unopened from new. It was made in the USA by ITT and as you can see is unusual with all the extension buttons etc. I have rewired it to simply work as a normal telephone and so all the buttons are non functioning and simply for display. It is tone dialing and so can be used on any system including using star and hash for your bank etc. It has an adjustable bell and sounds fantastic. I have made the labels to add some fun to it. I have three in stock and am selling them at a bargain price so please don't hesitate as I am unlikely to get any more.
Potage and packing is £10 to any UK address

Also called tortilla espanola or tortilla de patatas, this treasured national dish is like the best omelet you've ever tasted. Egg, Yukon Gold potatoes, and strips of salty Serrano ham are baked into pillowy perfection. The piece de resistance: an anchovy salad on top studded with Marcona almonds. Yeah.
How to Make It
Place oven rack in middle position of oven. Preheat oven to 400°F. Heat oil in a 10-inch nonstick oven-safe skillet or 10-inch carbon-steel skillet over medium-high until oil just begins to shimmer, about 5 minutes. Add potatoes; stir to evenly coat. Gently press potatoes into an even layer using a heatproof spatula. Reduce heat to medium-low; cook until potatoes start to soften, 15 minutes. Add ham to skillet, stirring to incorporate; cook until potatoes are tender and ham is crispy, 10 minutes. Remove from heat. Drain potatoes and ham on paper towels, reserving 2 tablespoons oil in skillet (discard remaining drippings). Sprinkle potatoes and ham evenly with 1 teaspoon of the salt and ¼ teaspoon of the pepper.
Whisk together eggs, paprika, and remaining ½ teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon pepper in a medium bowl. Stir in drained potatoes and ham. Heat reserved oil in skillet over medium. Pour in egg mixture; cook, swirling and shaking pan rapidly, until bottom and sides begin to set, about 3 minutes. Press edges of the mixture in from around the sides of the skillet, starting to form a round shape; gently press into an even layer.
Transfer skillet to preheated oven; bake until egg mixture begins to set, about 5 minutes. Remove from oven; increase oven temperature to high broil. Return skillet to preheated oven; broil until egg mixture is set and slightly browned on top, about 3 minutes. Remove from oven; let stand at room temperature 5 minutes.
While tortilla cooks, toss together greens, onion, and Sherry Vinaigrette in a bowl. Invert cooked tortilla onto a serving platter (or serve tortilla in skillet). Top with greens mixture, anchovies, cheese, and almonds.

The combined degrees program is conducted jointly by the undergraduate college and the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences. Exceptional students may combine undergraduate and graduate courses and are simultaneously enrolled in bachelor's and master's degrees programs. Both degrees are awarded only on completion of the entire program; a student may not receive one degree earlier, even if the requirements for that degree have been met.
Students seeking admission to the program in Chemistry should consult their undergraduate major advisers and also the Chemistry Graduate Program Director before applying to the graduate school. Combined degree students are expected to fulfill all the requirements of the undergraduate and graduate programs. No courses offered in fulfillment of one set of requirements may be used for the other.
Admission to the program is normally during the junior year. Only in exceptional cases will an application be accepted after the junior year. Therefore, students interested in the program should contact their advisers early in their academic career to facilitate program planning. A student may elect to withdraw from the program at any time by filing the appropriate petition.
The Tufts Plus Program offers tuition scholarships (maximum 50%) to Tufts undergraduates who are admitted to a participating master's program.

So a few months ago I did a post explaining the core difference between the three shows mentioned in the title using episode 1 as a basis. Now that discussion had very little to say about Black Bullet in particular, but more to the point it doesn't really point out the appeal of each show. So with Owari no Seraph season 2 over, I thought it was time to dig into these shows a bit further. There will be major spoilers for all three shows, you have been warned.
Ok lets get this out of the way first and foremost, Shingeki no Kyojin is by far the highest quality show among these three so I'm not to talk about it too much. There are a lot of reasons why of course, some of which are explained in the linked post above. But the point of this post is not about comparing the shows with regards to animation quality, characters and so on. The point of this post is to look into the minute differences between each show, which feature many similar traits, and what elements they have that are good. You see one of the biggest issues with Black Bullet and Owari no Seraph, is that as they are dismissed out of hand for being "AoT clones" is that most people don't seriously consider their positive aspects. This is understandable of course, neither Black Bullet nor Owari no Seraph is remotely near the top of my favorite list, or even shows I consider good, but they do incorporate certain elements of storytelling that would be worthwhile if used in a series with better direction and characters. And it is these elements I want to focus on today, if for no other reason than to bring them out in the open.
Let's start with Shingeki no Kyojin since it is the most popular. I already explained the show's emphasis on psychological terror, though that mainly is true of the first 1/3 of the show and rapidly drops off later, and how that made it engaging. The other thing that made it engaging, besides the action and animation which was good but was more a of a bonus than a real selling point to me, were the mysteries. There is a lot of information we don't know and while that is often a flaw, Shingeki no Kyojin places a strong emphasis on unraveling the mysteries towards the end, and even as early as episode 3 or 4 the show lets us know that the people of this world are indeed learning about the titans and keeping record of their knowledge. Now I will admit the final battle is awesome and I would count that as a selling point of the show, but during the excruciatingly slow middle chunk of the show the thing that really convinced me to keep going were the mystery aspects. What are the titans exactly? Where do the come from? Why do they eat people if they don't have a digestive system and don't even need to eat? How come there are humans who can turn into special titans and why do these special titans have totally different abilities and attributes? All of these questions are things I very much want to see answered, but in a way that intrigues rather than frustrates, that sparks interest to see more rather than to bore while waiting for answers. This more so than the action or characters is what kept me invested in the later part of the series and looking forward to a sequel. So how do the other two measure up?
Let's do Black Bullet first since it aired first. For those who don't know the idea with Black Bullet is that this weird virus called the Gastrea Virus has mutated the animals of the world into huge monsters creatively called Gastrea. This virus is contagious can can turn people into monsters as well. Now there are two weapons with which humanity fights the Gastrea, Varanium and Cursed Children. Vanarium is a black metal that repels Gastrea and shuts down the unnaturally high healing capabilities of Gastrea, so people can kill them. Cursed Children are what happens when pregnant women get infected with the Gastrea virus, instead of becoming monsters they give birth to special humans, all of whom are girls for no particular reason. The Cursed children have heightened physical abilities and powerful healing much like the Gastrea. Curse Children are then paired with Inspectors who are both Gastrea hunters and handlers for the Cursed Children. Anyway what scuppers Black Bullet is twofold, how the Gastrea are shitty CG monsters that look terrible and uninteresting, and the overall direction the story takes and missed opportunities with the characters.
The odd part about the story is that the characters aren't that bad. Sure most of the side characters are one note and uninteresting but the main ones are ok. Hell, Kagetane the masked guy who appears as villain in the first arc, was actually pretty interesting. The thing that really gets me as far as the characters are concerned is Kisara and Rentarou. At the end of the show Kisara flips from a champion of law and justice to murdering one of her elder siblings while laughing about how justice accomplishes nothing. Mind you that change in mindsets is not necessarily bad nor unwlecome and of itself, but the implementation of it was shit. Also it makes more sense for Rentarou to be the one who gives up on justice. He faces far more trauma than Kisara, and there is a point where he was about to lose faith in justice. Just before the last arc really kicked off Rentarou was teaching a bunch of Cursed Children in an informal school and some asshole essentially left a Varanium claymore in the school one morning, killing all of Rentarou's students. And ironically it was Kisara who convinced Rentarou to have faith and remain true to his sense of justice. Why the fuck would they do this? If you're like me the question you're asking is why did they bother with Aldebaran arc at all? Wouldn't it have made more sense for Kagetane, who consistently shows contempt for civilization as it currently exists and an interest in Rentarou as a fellow mechanized human, to leak the identity of the bomber/bombers to Rentarou, let him make the choice to kill or spare them for himself and build an arc based around the violence within the city that is slowly killing this society instead of the external CG threats? That would've made a much more interesting dynamic than having Kisara convince Rentarou to keep being the good guy before she herself gives up on law and justice. But anyway what really is the appeal of the show?
Well I count Kagetane as an appeal in and of himself because he has a creepy mask, a snappy red suit and is voiced by one of my favorite voice actors. He's also the person my personal views on the society of the Black Bullet align with. Because frankly this society deserves to die. Even if we ignore that one former royal guard who actively sabotages Rentarou's battle strategy against a giant monster that has broken through the Varanium barrier and is in the city, these people still need to die. The thing is this society has a lot of people who hate the Cursed Children because they were born of the same Gastrea virus that fucked the world up. This is understandable, however the amount of Cursed Children who get killed by average Joes is not. Keep in mind that the Cursed Children are the most effective fighting force the humans have, even if they were discriminated against you'd think the government would try and protect their supply of Cursed Children and prosecute anyone who killed them, because even if they personally hate the Cursed Children, those little girls are vital to humanity's survival. None of that happens though, instead authority figures from street cops to prime ministers seem to be content to attack Cursed Children out of hate for all things Gastrea related. And it gets even worse when the overwhelming majority of people either fall into this camp of violent, hateful people or just let it happen. There is no mass movement of any kind that tries to stop this unabated violence even though the Cursed Children are the primary means of protection when monsters invade, as happens from time to time. This is a world that can well and truly hate, and by God is it cathartic. It also helps that I prioritize individuals over society as a whole, so seeing a society where the individuals were so right and the society was so fucked was somewhat gratifying. If you want feel anger at people or want to feel angry at people, this series does provide. This is reinforced by some of the flashes of realism found in Black Bullet. There isn't much but when it shows up it does wonders. For example I really liked how Kisara's older sibling, whom she killed in the final episode, made one of the Varanium barriers on the cheap, which is why the Gastrea could destroy it during the final arc, and then pocketed the extra money from the budget used to build it so he could advance his own position. This in turn justifies Kisara's hatred for her own family, this doesn't save the terribly abrupt transition in her character but it does at least serve as a backdrop for said transition. To sum this up, Black Bullet is a show that has a number of good pieces that were put together badly, resulting in a story which doesn't live up to full potential of all it's elements. Which brings me to Owari no Seraph.
Owari no Seraph has the almost the opposite problem of Black Bullet, surprising as it may sound the overall direction the story has taken is actually really good. In fact were I to rate the three shows in this discussion solely based on their narrative progression, Owari no Seraph would be in first. This is not to say Owari no Seraph is a good show, because it isn't, but taken on it's own the narrative it's trying to tell is quite engaging. I know, if some random stranger on the internet told me what I just told anyone who reads this, I'd call bullshit too. And in all honesty even I have a hard time reconciling the gap between all the creative elements that form the interesting story and the bland, uninspired characters who drive said story into the fucking ground. The single biggest problem with Owari no Seraph is the characters, I mean the whole humans vs vampires in a manner similar to Shingeki no Kyojin premise doesn't help, but it doesn't kill the show either. The characters are so one note and cliche it hurts. Not to mention the voice acting is thoroughly mediocre and the dialogue is cringeworthy, which really puts the final nail in coffin labeled characters. I have a hard time putting into words exactly how bad the characters are, because it's not just one thing that's wrong with them, instead there's something wrong with them on almost every level. Most of the character designs alone will tell you exactly what kind of person the character is, all the characters stick closely to pre-established archetypes and have very little in the way of uniqueness to them, and they all put on disappointing performances thanks to the lackluster voice acting and horrific script. This would almost be funny as a parody, a satire about how not to do characters, save for the fact that they occupy a story and world that are interesting. I like the variety of monsters and/or sources of power that inhabit the world, from vampires, to demons to angels. I like the use of Biblical lore, especially towards the end of season 2 with the appearance of Abbadon and the King of Salt. But most importantly I like this because it is a story where both the humans and the vampires are the bad guys. I was able to predict that humanity fumbling with powers it should leave alone was what caused the world to collapse with ease, but unlike most stories that use that particular premise, in Owari no Seraph it's not suggested that the vampires are any better. Usually when humanity, or really anyone we typically expect to be the good guys, either fuck or end up being the bad guys, the story will then cast the opposite force as the good guys. Not so with Owari no Seraph, life under conniving, arrogant and pettily cruel vampires is no better than life under the tyrannical, ruthless and power-hungry upper echelons of the Imperial Demon Army. This is a rare approach, and while it was predictable as fuck in the broad strokes, the minute details of the situation shows an unexpected level of care in craft in their construction. I guess what I'm trying to say is that, Owari no Seraph is a good story, set in an interesting world, and even if it's characters had just been average, it could've been a good show. But the characters are just thoroughly shit that they turn a show that by rights should have been at bare minimum a decent show into something terrible. Taken on their own the world and narrative of Owari no Seraph have serious merit, and deserve some scrutiny so that people who want to write a similar story can see how it works. It's just a shame that the full package that is the show is spoiled by it's rotten characters.
Thank you for reading, this was a long post by my standards, and while I'm certain there is more to talk about on this subject, I think this is good enough for now. Hopefully I will see you in the next one.

On Thursday, April 25 my family and I invite all of you, wherever you might reside, to join us in spirit at 5pm California time, in a "Universal Prayer of Peace for Chuck D". (https://www.facebook.com/events/112875865580426/). Handsome Husband served honorably in the US Air Force, which made him, like so many others who serve, a lover of peace rather than war and friction. So what better way to celebrate this man?
Wherever you, dear readers, are in this world, take a moment this evening, to meditate on love, light a candle, sing a song of joy, dance wildly-do whatever is in your heart, and send that love out into the Universe and join with thousands of others who loved this man. It matters not whether you actually knew him or not. I assure you that you would have loved him as we do.
And where will I be today at 5 pm? At ocean side on Coronado Island in southern California, with my daughter Rachael-Grace and Chuck's daughter Bronwen. We take with us: hula hoops, wish paper, music, our grief and pain, our joy and love, to create a circle of remembrance. If you are somehow in that area, find us and sit with us, dance with us, and, with us, send messages of love into the evening skies.

How to Jump Backward in "Assassin's Creed II"by Naomi BoltonUpdated September 22, 2017
Jumping is an important skill in the multiplatform game "Assassin's Creed II" as players need to traverse buildings and rooftops while avoiding enemies. The main character, Ezio, has a wide repertoire of moves including the ability to scale walls and other surfaces and hang on to these before jumping. Some of the obstacles in the game require players to jump backward to proceed. This ability helps Ezio to reach new areas in situations where players cannot turn him around to face in the direction he must jump or if he has to jump from one wall to another behind him.
Hold down the right mouse button, or the right trigger button on console controllers, to enter high profile mode.
Use the "W," "A," "S" and "D" keys on your keyboard, or the left analog stick on console controllers, to maneuver Ezio into position. For a backward jump from one wall to the next, this means positioning Ezio to face the foot of the wall he is going to jump from.
Move the mouse or right analog stick around to get a better camera viewpoint. Ideally the camera should be in a position so you can see a side view of the action. This allows you to see both Ezio and the area into which you want him to jump.
Run into the wall you want to jump from. As long as you are in high profile mode, Ezio will automatically run up the wall. Hold down the left or right direction button, depending on what direction Ezio is facing, and press the jump button -- spacebar on a PC, "A" on an Xbox 360 and "X" on a PS3. Ezio will jump backward and turn around midjump to grab on to the surface behind him.
If Ezio is already holding on to a surface, and you want him to jump backward to grab a ledge, just hold down the direction button opposite to the direction Ezio is facing and press the jump button.
Don't let go of the high profile button during this process, or Ezio will just perform the jump and not grab.

I get that not everyone wants to put themselves or their farm out there on social media for the world to see. It's a lot. You have to be pretty strong to withstand all of the criticism and anonymous hatred. So maybe a Facebook page for your own farm isn't what you want, but chances are if you're on social media, you follow someone else's. Right? Maybe you share their posts on your personal page to help show what real farmers and real farming is like.
Even though it's not your page, or your responsibility, have you ever thought about how your comments on someone else's post makes farmers look?
The truth is, whether you have your own page or not, how you react or respond to other's comments on other pages is also a big deal. For example, the other day a treated cow was accidentally milked into our tank, and we had to dump 1,000 pounds of milk.
It wasn't a great day. Instead of crying over spilled milk, I took a few photos and used it to show people how dedicated farmers are to producing a clean, safe product. So far, it has reached over 500,000 people with over 400 comments. A lot of the messages are from consumers thanking us for being honest or asking more questions about how we ensure the safety of our food supply.
Then, there were the farmers. Most of the ones who reached out were commiserating with our situation. "Been there done that" kind of comments. Those comments were helpful, it showed people that it's not just our farm that cares about the quality of our milk, that other farmers are just as committed as us.
Then, there were the ridiculous comments nagging me about how and why it happened. I think my favorite comment went a little something like this, "Milk your own cows then there are no screw ups." First of all, it was a mistake, plain and simple. As a fellow farmer, you should know that measures were immediately taken to make sure it didn't happen again. Secondly, grammar! And also, really? How could you think that comment was even slightly okay? Do you know what the general public doesn't need to see? Farmers hating on farmers.
I know that not everyone is going to agree or even like each other, but there are so few of us left that we really can't afford to be seen putting each other down in public. Kindness will take you so much farther than hatred. How old do you have to be to understand that? Big farm, small farm, organic farm, or homestead farm, you don't have to agree with everything they do, you just need to not be a jerk about it. It's surprisingly easy to think of a mean comment and then keep on scrolling without typing it out. Or if you really need to say it, send it privately. It may not be the same as throwing sticks and stones, but bullying, of any kind, isn't okay.

The dark blue sky is highlighted by a distant sun which slowly disappears over the red planets horizon. The depletion of the color red leads to this murky, dark blue color. It's the opposite of our atmosphere, which happens to filter out all the blue as the sun sets.
It's eery but also incredibly creepy.

Johannesburg - Comedian Tumi Morake is the talk of the town!
The comedy heavyweight has shed the kilo's and is looking amazing! And she says it's all because a serious health scare forced her to work on herself and her lifestyle.
In an interview with Destiny, Tumi reveals that she collapsed and almost suffered a heart attack before turning her weight issues around.
"I was one of those people who started banting before consulting my doctor and my cholesterol shot up to 6,1. I collapsed at work and found out I was literally on the verge of a heart attack," Tumi reveals.
She says it was the wake up call she needed to change her life, and even though the progress hasn't been quick, it has been constant.
"A couple of people have come up to me and said: "'Oh my gosh, how did you lose weight so quickly?' I didn't lose weight quickly! I actually started working out around July last year and only started seeing results this year," she says.
And even though she's winning her war against the scale, she says she's not focusing on how much she loses.
"This morning I was like 'OMG I should step on a scale'. I haven't focused on how much I weigh in numbers. I've noticed when clothes stop fitting, and that I've gotten stronger," Tumi says.

I will never use another plumber ever after my experience with ASAP Plumbing. I had an emergency plumbing issue on the Sunday of Memorial Day weekend. My sump pump had overflown and there was water and sediment in my basement. Within an hour of calling ASAP Plumbing they had dispatched a plumber to my home. Not only was her able to quickly diagnose the problem and get the part ordered, but also the owner Keith Miller came out the next day to access the progress and make sure it was completed quickly. Keith also helped me work with the builder since our home was only five years old to make sure this was an isolated incident and explained what questions we needed to ask the builder. I would recommend ASAP Plumbing to anyone who needs a professional, reliable plumber

I just wanted to take a moment to applaud one of your service man, Shane. I recently found myself in the midst of a plumbing emergency in Parma, Ohio and I thumbed through the phonebook and randomly called ASAP Plumbing. I am so pleased with the level of service that I received! Shane was expedient, professional and thorough. He was also extraordinarily compassionate to my situation and he helped me to find the most effective and inexpensive solution for me. Shane went above and beyond, staying until after 9:00 p.m. to ensure that the job was not only completed, but that it was completed well. Of course, I hope that I will not need plumbing services again anytime soon…but I can assure you that if I ever do, I will be calling ASAP Plumbing and I will be requesting the services of Shane. He is a stellar representative for your company!

I wanted to thank you for all the wonderful work you did to solve my plumbing emergency. From the first panicky phone call to Karen, to the last shovel of dirt back into the hole, you folks handled my emergency and me with the utmost professionalism. I found your number on the spine of the phonebook at 10:30 at night and called after trying to get hold of my own plumber. I am so glad I did. I will recommend your company to anyone and everyone I come in contact with that needs a plumber. I was in the service industry for 35 years and it is rare to come across a company that provides the kind of service that ASAP Plumbing does. You should be very proud of all the great work you do. Thank you again!!!!!!!!
Paul B
I choose ASAP Plumbing, not because they were the cheapest, but because their estimator Shane showed a genuine concern about the problem at my house and seemed extremely knowledgeable. My gut said he'd do the best job. No surprises! Shane was on time, did a great job, and even talked to my neighbors about their problem. He is a very good listener and a real professional without putting any other company down and knows what he is talking about. I was very impressed and pleased. Not only did he do a great job, but also he wrote his report very clearly so that I can include it with the documentation that will go with information about my house which is on the market. Thank him again for me. He's the best and has a great future. Shane is a real asset to your company and a first class representative of it. You will always have customers as long as he works for you.

On September 16, my wife and I awoke to discover the sanitary sewer system failed causing sewage to back up in the floor drains flooding our finished basement. We called ASAP Plumbing. The crew was on site within the hour. They proceeded to scope the connection with remote television equipment; contacted and met with Medina County water crews to survey the main sewer line. It became clear the failure was with the house connection. ASAP Plumbing purged the line as best they could allowing us limited usage of the system until the line was properly replaced on September 21. We are very happy with the speed and efficiency with which ASAP Plumbing handled this situation. We would recommend ASAP Plumbing to anybody experiencing a similar situation.
