Everything was normal on Sunday in Engineering College. Peace is due to the students getting vacant from the hostels and the deployment of the police. But some college teachers are plotting to spoil the atmosphere. On Sunday, restored teacher Abhishek Kumar, on the contract, spread the rumor with WhatsApp message that the student who attempted suicide committed suicide, but the truth is that he is undergoing treatment in Patna's IGIS.
Abhishek Kumar, a teacher of the Civil Engineering Department of the college, started sending viral messages through social media on Sunday morning. He wrote that I am very sad because of the death and politics of the campus student. I got broken. These teachers are restored to the college on contract basis under the MHRD NPEU. Some teachers along with this teacher are also involved in this. After this message, some of the students living outside the college became frustrated. But when his friends confirmed that the student's death had not occurred, his anger got diminished.
The restored teachers on the contract are spreading rumors and trying the students in their favor. Their purpose is to spoil the college environment and make the students in their favor. The anger of the students about college administration and permanent teachers increased and their coins started running. It provides its mileage to sustain the job.
After three days of students in the engineering college, there is peace on Sunday. Magistrate and police have been deployed here in three municipalities.
Principal told the teacher, do not spread any kind of rumor
Abhishek Kumar, the restored teacher on contract, has made this message viral on social media to spread rumors. Teacher Abhishek Kumar also sent a message to the Principal of Engineering College, Dr. Nirmal Kumar saying that I was broken due to the death of the student. The principal told that he told the teacher that there is no complete information and do not spread rumors. On this, the teacher said that I am afraid of you. The principal told him that I am hurt by this incident, my conscience is not working. It's wrong to spread your rumor. When Bhaskar talked to Abhishek Kumar about this, he refused to say anything. He said that I am driving right now. Other teachers are also sad after the campus incident.
After three days of engineering at the engineering college, the triple IT administration located in the campus can also be there. Students are also nervous. Considering their security, the college administration has decided to close the college on Monday. On Sunday, about 200 students and students of the institute stayed in the hostel. The college administration did not let him out. When the police jawan reached outside the hostel, the staff and teachers present there showed the letter saying that this institution is different from Bhagalpur College of Engineering. Dr. Sanjay Mandal, Deputy Registrar, Triple IT said that security of students is our first priority. Looking at the campus atmosphere stressful, we decided to keep the college closed on Monday. All the necessary items including food, water, snacks, medicine are being provided to student hostels in all the hostels. In the second year of triple I.Ts running in the lodge outside the campus, students were not allowed to come out of the day. For the students who eat mess, the college administration has arranged for meals in the hostels. Triple IT is closed on Saturdays and Sundays.
The condition of Horizon Kumar Shukla, student of the final year of engineering college remains still fragile. He is undergoing treatment in Patna's IGIMS. On Sunday, Neuro-related doctors examined him. The family of the horizon has also reached Champaran from the hospital. The police are also keeping an eye on the situation of the horizon. After the case was registered by the principal, three students, tried to commit suicide. Two students had reportedly cut the veal of the wrist while he tried suicide by hanging in the hostel. He was swinging through the trap. The classmates lowered him from the trap and admitted him to the Mayaganj hospital. From where he was referred to Patna for better treatment.
Ramesh Kumar took possession of the hostel-4 warden's room on August 21. After this, the principal had submitted an application to the police on the 23rd to issue an FIR. In the evening, the police came to vacate the hostel. That night, students subdued the principal's residence, in which the principal had lodged an FIR against other students including Kshitij Kumar. With the demand to withdraw the FIR, the students had locked the building next day on August 24 in the administrative building.

So, I'm of two minds here, mostly because these are really two distinct concepts.
My favorite traps would have to be the kind that empower undead and weaken the living. I have a particular love for the undead, and playing to their strengths is always a good thing to do. Something with Enervation should do the trick, though several spells heal undead while hurting the living.
Alternately, everyone love 5 foot square pit trap with a gelatinous cube that falls from overhead, filling the space and enveloping the trapped individual 🙂
My favorite kind of puzzle is an integrated dungeon. More or less, the players can solve certain mechanical puzzles, and which path they take through the dungeon depends on what they solve and how they solve it. Basically, they need to solve puzzles to move on, but only a specific sequence will take them through all the rooms of the dungeon.
I did this with a party by having them enter a temple of Tiamat. The temple was designed to house several dragons comfortably and to protect both the dragons and their treasure. The PCs left that temple with enough gold to afford diamond shoes. Not diamond encrusted shoes – shoes made from one enormous diamond.

Dear Olivier >From http://continuum.apache.org/download.html I downloaded: http://www.apache.org/dyn/closer.cgi/maven/binaries/apache-continuum-1.1.zip This version has the reported bug 1590-StackOverflowError in it (http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/CONTINUUM-1590). Being lazy I just changed the binaries to sources and I got the source version of 1.1: http://www.apache.org/dyn/closer.cgi/maven/sources/apache-continuum-1.1.zip I tried going to http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/maven/continuum/site/ from the official website, but this link is broken :-( I guess it was changed because http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/continuum/site/ works (ie it is no longer a subdirectory of maven), but in fact I found the source at: http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/continuum/trunk/continuum-xmlrpc/continuum-xmlrpc-server/src/main/java/org/apache/maven/continuum/xmlrpc/server/ContinuumServiceImpl.java?view=log So I Downloaded version [CONTINUUM-1590] and recompiled the continuum-xmlrpc-server-1.1.jar component. (I didn't use maven I just used Eclipse for the one component and put it into the WEB-INF/lib dir) Basically the official released version Continuum 1.1 (on the official continuum.apache.org website http://continuum.apache.org/download.html ) has a bug in the xmlrpc service. Since I am doing integration based on xmlrpc this makes my life just that extra bit more interesting ;-) Anyway bug fix 1590 fixed my problem so I can continue to struggle on with my integration work :-) Please try your test on the binary version 1.1 that is I guess the official release and you will see that it does not work fine :-( Best regards Andrew Och -----Original Message----- From: firstname.lastname@example.com [mailto:email@example.com] On Behalf Of Olivier Lamy Sent: Tuesday, May 13, 2008 6:31 AM To: firstname.lastname@example.com Subject: Re: Struggling with ContinuumXmlRpcClient for version 1.1 including patch 1590 Hi, I have just tested an everything works fine here.

Aussies take out Oktoberfest 7s
The Aussie Sevens men have claimed their first piece of major international silverware since 2012, taking out the inaugural Oktoberfest 7s against Fiji, 40-7.
Four first-half tries in three minutes broke the game open for Australia, taking a 26-0 lead into the break as they starved Fiji of the ball.
Australia's youngsters faced a major challenge, missing leaders James Stannard (rib) and Tom Lucas (concussion), with John Porch leading the side into the final, but that didn't seem to affect them.
Both sides showed desperation, and it was Australia with the first genuine chance, and they took the lead with Maurice Longbottom kick setting up Ben O'Donnell for the first try in the third minute.
Towering utility Tim Anstee followed that up 90 seconds later, collecting a stealthy Porch pass to increase their advantage, before speedster Simon Kennewell and Lachie Anderson added two more in as many minutes.
Longbottom had his fifth tournament five-pointer in the 12th minute, with another star turn capping off a sensational debut international outing for the former South Sydney rugby league junior.
Eroni Vucago hit back for Fiji, breaking their duck, but ultimately it was too little, too late for the Pacific Islanders.
Australia was the only team to beat Fiji in the tournament, and the win gave them a perfect run through the first German competition.
The Oktoberfest 7s is one of a handful of new invitational professional tournaments that will give teams more chance to play outside of the World Series.
While it is not a World Series event, coach Andy Friend said post-match that a taste of any silverware would be handy for his side, showing its depth.
Australia has not won a World Series tournament since 2012, in Tokyo, last featuring in a cup final in the 2016 las Vegas Sevens
"We've got some very good footballers sitting at home and they've now got to fight their way back," Friend said.
"We haven't won anything, really since 2012, that was the last world series tournament," he said.
"We said this year we wanted to win stuff. It's not the World Series but it's a really important tournament for us and I think it shows the boys' belief."
The first World Series tournament kicks off in Dubai in December, with the Aussie Sevens still to play a handful of international and local invitationals.

Ngada Regency is one of the regencies which divide the island of Flores, East Nusa Tenggara Province, Indonesia. Bajawa is the capital of Ngada Regency. The population of Ngada Regency was 142,254 at the 2010 Census.
The Ngada Regency is one of the older regencies (kabupaten) in East Nusa Tenggara, having been formed in 1958. The regency was split into two in 2007, with part being formed into a new Nagekeo Regency. With the separate of Nagekeo, makes Ngada now only has two main ethnics which are ethnic Bajawa and ethnic Riung.
As is the case with other regencies across Indonesia, local events sometimes seize the headlines. For example, in December 2013 a row broke out when the Ngada regent head (bupati), Marianus Sae, apparently became angered following an altercation over local travel arrangements. On Saturday 21 December 2013 Marianus Sae was apparently unable to obtain a seat on a local flight in East Nusa Tenggara. Angered by the situation, Sae is reported to have ordered his subordinates to blockade the runway of the Turelelo airport in Soa district (kecamatan). The incident attracted national attention leading to a formal investigation of Sae's actions.[1]
Under current arrangements the Ngada Regency is divided into nine districts (kecamatan), shown below with their 2010 Census population.
Census 2010
|Bajawa Utara
(North Bajawa)
|Riung Barat
(West Riung)
The language in Ngada is Ngadha. There are several Indigenous languages in Ngada based on the ethnicity. People from Aimere, Bajawa, Golewa, Jerebu'u might speak the same languages with minor differences, while people from Soa speak slightly different language and people from Riung speak totally different language. Unable to communicate each others, they use Indonesian.
Ngada regency is one of the poorest regions in Indonesia but there is increasing in popularity among international tourists which is providing some help to the local economy.[2]
The two most visited areas in the Ngada region are Bena[3] and Wogo, both unique megalithic complexes with traditional housing.[4] To Ngadha society, the traditional houses occupy an important role as organizational units, as villagers must each belong to a house, thereby a clan.[5] Clan totems can be ornately crafted symbols of this social organization.[6] In the north part, Riung, Ngada offers a beautiful beaches and islands called 17 island of Riung. The islands give the opportunity for the tourists to do snorkeling, diving, sun bathing, and witnessing flying foxes.[7]
The megalithic sites in Ngada region were added to the UNESCO World Heritage Tentative List on October 19, 1995 in the Cultural category.[8] But was pulled out from the list on 2015.
Soa Valley[edit]
In 1968 stegodon fossil and stone artefacts were found in the Soa Valley north of Bajawa. In 1991 excavations were carried out but no significant discoveries were found. In excavations in 1994 researchers found 12 sites of artefacts and the fossils. The age of the Soa Valley is put at around 650,000 to 1.02 million years during which time there were at least two devastating volcanic events. So far, researchers have not found human fossils but it is believed that human fossils may yet be found. Stone artefacts suggesting hominin activity have been found in caves such as Mata Menge in the area.[9] If human fossils are indeed found, this may contribute to knowledge about migration into eastern Indonesia.[10] Research at nearby Liang Bua cave to the west near Ruteng has also contributed to expanding knowledge about early human activity in the area.

A NovelAudiobook on MP3 CD - 2008
The year is 1929, and newlyweds George and Serena Pemberton arrive in North Carolina to create a timber empire. Although George has already lived in the camp long enough to father an illegitimate child, Serena is new to the mountains—but she soon shows herself to be the equal of any worker, overseeing crews, hunting rattlesnakes, even saving her husband's life in the wilderness.
Together Serena and George ruthlessly kill or vanquish all who fall out of their favor. But when Serena learns that she will never bear a child, she sets out on her own to kill the son George had without her. Mother and child begin a struggle for their lives, and when Serena suspects George is protecting his illegitimate family, the Pembertons' intense, passionate marriage starts to unravel as the story moves toward its shocking finale.

While the story is interesting, the reader on the audiobook is distractingly melodramatic in his reading. If I were to do this over, I would read the book rather than listen.
Highly recommended if you like fiction with a historical twist. The story that involved the couple was interesting, but I thought it was really great how the author also weaved in plots involving the depression, national parks, and how life was like for the workers at the camp. For me, that's what kept the book moving.

On Dec. 14, 1981, Israel annexed the territory on the Golan Heights that it had seized from Syria in 1967. The New York Times called it an "abrupt move" that came as a surprise not only to international observers, but also to many Israelis who felt that it was hastily pushed through parliament by Prime Minister Menachem Begin.
The annexation was met with international condemnation. Syria called it a "declaration of war," while the United States, a staunch ally of Israel, called it "inconsistent with the Camp David accords,"
The Times reported. Three days later, the United Nations Security Council passed a resolution declaring that Israel's act was "null and void and without international legal effect."
The Golan Heights is a strategically important plateau from which large areas of land on both the Israeli and Syrian sides can be viewed. When it was under Syrian control, it was used to launch shell attacks on the agriculturally rich Hula Valley in Israel. Prime Minister Begin used these attacks to justify Israel's occupation and annexation, arguing that Syrians "would open fire, from the heights, on our towns and villages, instituting a reign of blood and terror throughout the area."
Israel had captured much of the Golan Heights — as well as the Sinai Peninsula from Egypt and the West Bank from Jordan — after it defeated Egypt, Syria and Jordan in a six-day war of June 1967. Soon after the war, Israeli citizens began settling in the area, which was placed under military control.
Israel intended to use the heights as leverage in peace negotiations, though Syria was not open to a settlement. Syria tried to reclaim the heights in 1973 with a surprise attack as part of the Yom Kippur war, but Israeli forces managed to drive back the advancing forces and capture more territory in the heights.
The Golan Heights remains under Israel's control today, and is at the center of peace negotiations between the two countries. In 1999 to 2000, Israel offered to withdraw from the Heights, with the exception of the land around the Sea of Galilee, its primary source for fresh water. Syria has insisted that it will only accept a full withdrawal to pre-1967 borders.
Connect to Today:
Israel and Syria last held official talks regarding the Golan Heights in 2008. In June 2011, the two countries disputed casualty numbers after Israeli forces fired on protesters who had tried to breach the Syrian frontier border with the Golan Heights.
What are Israel's greatest concerns over returning the Golan Heights to the pre-1967 border? Do you believe the Heights should be returned? Why or why not? What are the pros and cons for both sides involved in this dispute?

I've been working hard as you've seen on de-cluttering and re-organizing our home, especially our school stuff. We're planning to start school in about three weeks and I want to be all organized for the year before that happens. I've got the curriculum bought. I've got the children. I've got a table and a few seats. But if I can't find the curriculum it's not going to do much good. Also finding a way to organize each week/days stuff where Princess can't get into and destroy it presents a challenge too with our limited space.
I've looked into workboxes and I LOVE the idea but the space thing presents an issue. So I looked around online in the blogosphere to see other workbox "translations". I found a few that I thought were great. I bought a couple dozen ice cube bins intending to use those as our workboxes (I have NO idea what I was thinking, I don't have the shelfspace for that). So as of late I've been thinking and the other day one of the kids was playing with a small plastic file box I have that I kept our papers organized in - bills and such. They were lifting this clear lid on the top that opened to a tray space for things like pens, paperclips etc. It hit me then that this would be perfect! One box per boy. Their pencils, scissors, crayons, glue sticks, etc. will fit in the top tray and I can file in the whole week's worth of school work inside the box. LOVE!
I had another dilemma. We're using Confessions of a Homeschooler's letter of the week curriculum and well the storage solution I thought I had didn't work for this because accordion files only open out so much and these activities became quite thick. So I realized I would need two more file boxes to store the LOTW activities. Well the file boxes are 10.00 each and as previously mentioned I prefer to be frugal. So I checked the price on amazon and I could get a 4pack for 36.00. Woot a 4.00 savings! But we went out yard saling and thrift store shopping yesterday. I was hoping to find a few of these file boxes that other people had decided they no longer needed.
Salvation Army didn't have any but they had some AWESOME children's books and a book sale going on for .29 a book and buy 1 get 1 free so basically 2 books for .29. I got an oversized Jack and the Beanstalk that came with flashcards and a cd of the story.
I think this though was my favorite book find: A copy of the classic Peter Pan
I also got a few other fun books, easy readers for Howler to work with through the year, a few Golden Books, and we also got a few board games.
Anyway back to the story, alas no file boxes. So we headed over to Goodwill. I found a copy of Madeline here though it wasn't AS good of a deal I picked it up anyway because it's one of our FIAR books for the coming school year (we may just go ahead and start with it lol). I searched around but no file boxes. But back in the furniture section I found a slightly dented black two drawer file cabinet. In the bottom drawer it had a whole bunch of hanging files in great condition. For 3.99 we bought it and it fits not only my LOTW stuff but I was able to move our family files into the bottom drawer of it freeing up the file box we already owned. So for this year we only need one more file box. At 10.00 plus the 3.99 for the filing cabinet we saved a little more than 30.00. Sometimes I marvel at the small ways that God provides for us. I'm so thrilled and happy and thankful.
Have a blessed Sunday everyone!

Ladies and Gentlemen, Distinguished Guests,
On behalf of DET Master Scholar awardees, I am honored to speak in front of you at the very end of DET program granted by DSF World Bank and its partners.
It has been a long journey for us and also a very short experience at the same time. A long journey of doing our assignments, writing dissertation and dealing with university stuff. But also a too short period to explore everything about Britain, including its beautiful places, kindly people, fascinating history, public facilities (and off course the great boxing days J).
Ladies and gentlemen,
Being DET scholars give an important meaning for us. We have experienced many things since the first time we arrived in the UK. The first lesson we learnt was the UK learning system. Most of universities combine theory and case study in their lectures. This is a good point for us because we may apply our job experiences within the framework which is taught in the class session. On the other hand, the universities may enrich their scientific study with our real case study.
As a representative from local government, I learned how to analyze socio-economic development project in global lenses that may support strategic decision in local government, specifically for province outside Java. I also learned that decentralization should be supported by many aspects, including technology. For example, information technology may be applied as an important means in delivering information from government to public, as well as between central and local government in order to achieve the goal of good governance. At the same time, technology may also strengthen decentralization program, even though there is a need to review the concept of decentralization itself in Indonesia for more comprehensive and on the right target. This is the second lesson that I got.
Your Excellencies,
Another important aspect of a nation development is gender equality. I have learnt this fact when I studied gender and development course unit. It has been proved that gender is a key point of development growth. Unfortunately, Indonesia Gender Inequality Index is still low, which ranks hundredth out of a hundred and forty six countries surveyed. This can also be seen from the percentage of DET scholars which is only thirty percent women, or seven out of twenty four scholars. This aspect may have to be reconsidered by the scholarship organizer to add more chance for women education.
The last lesson, and the most enjoyable one, was traveling around the UK. At least there are four states we could visit without applying for a visa, that is England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. Most of the places are interesting to visit: the historical buildings, castles, rivers, the universities, and its beautiful landscapes. And I finally found out that Stonehenge is not as big as I have imagined before. During my travel, there is a lesson that might be applied in my own country. It is how tourism can be explored and promoted to attract more tourists to come.
Besides that, there are lots of experience we might never get before: have a sleepless nights, or spend many nights with the laptop, until one night I found my laptop was broken down because I kicked it when I slept. Or, how we were freezing in bus stop waiting for the bus in the very cold winter. That was the worst winter I ever had.. (actually because it was the only winter I have, until now I mean, but I do hope to have another winter in the UK or other countries – bisik2). But meeting friends from different countries was also amazing. We could tell stories of our country, to let them know about how beautiful Indonesia is. And having native friends was also good to proofread your essays, even this script was also proofread by some of my friends. The most interesting thing is we suddenly become a great chef since we need to cook our meals by ourselves. We cannot easily find any Warung Tegal or Nasi Padang in Piccadilly Gardens or Trafford Centre.
It was really an incredible experience..
Ladies and gentlemen,
The end of our study is marked by the announcement of our final results and graduation. It certainly is a wonderful achievement for us. So I would like to conclude my remarks by showing my gratitude to DSF, World Bank, British Council, the Ministry of Home Affairs, the Ministry of Finance, Bappenas, and all parties who already made our dreams came true. And the last but not least, special thank goes for all DSF scholars, for our friendships and our moment of togetherness. It is time for us to give the real contribution for our institution and community, to be the real agent of change, to build and develop our beloved Indonesia.
Thank you very much.
*)My first formal English speech in front of DSF Manager for Indonesia, the World Bank Director for Indonesia, UK Deputy Ambassador, British Council and DSF scholarship recipients at DSF Welcome Back Reception in Hotel Mandarin, 22 Feb 2011 (a day before my 28th).


text: Youth Courts and their Educational Value: An Examination of Youth Courts in Chester, Pennsylvania Download PublicationPublication DateApril 2013 Associated Project An Examination of Youth Courts in Chester, PennsylvaniaAbstractIn the 2011-12 school year, the Stoneleigh Foundation commissioned Research for Action (RFA) to conduct a study of Chester Upland School District's (CUSD) youth courts. The purpose of the youth court model is to allow students who commit minor offenses to appear before their peers and receive sentences from other youth, and for these peers to design sentences with the goal of repairing the harm done to individual victims and the broader community. RFA's study reveals that the long-term academic performance (including graduation rate) of youth court volunteers, students who serve on the courts, and respondents (students who have committed low-level offenses), was significantly stronger than that of their non-participating peers. Participation also positively influenced the students' academic mindset and social skills, as well as reducing rates of recidivism among the respondents. Authors Michael A.

We're super excited to launch In Conversation With, our new video series that allows us to talk freely with transformative individuals . Our first conversation is with the Harvard educated, anti-sexist activist Jackson Katz (he's also a former football player). Ever since I saw Jackson's Ted Talk about how men need to start being held accountable in the violence against women debate, I've been dying to hear more from him. When Lily and I were in LA recently, I was able to do just that. With views about masculinity that rip apart the status quo, Jackson encapsulates what our theme on men is all about: "Those of us men who don't speak up -- who don't make it clear to our friends that we don't accept their sexist behavior and beliefs -- our silence is a form of complicity." See what I mean?
"Individuals don't just burst out on their own," explains Jackson. "We're products of social systems." In our conversation, Jackson details all the ways in which American society turns loving boys into power-hungry hard shells who can only converse with each other about sports. From pornography to crying to Miley Cyrus, Jackson's take on gender needs to be heard loud and clear. Listen to Jackson's box-breaking insight and join our conversation now.

Keith Fullerton Whitman Returns with 'Generators'
Published Jan 18, 2012When he's not hawking the best avant-garde records and cassettes through his Mimaroglu Music Sales site, Keith Fullerton Whitman is an elder of the outsider electronic scene. With that in mind, it's always an event when he releases a new album.
Next month, Whitman will drop a new album called Generators via the Editions Mego imprint. The release stems from a composition called "Generator" that Whitman has performed over the last two and a half years. Here, the final two performances of the work are represented.
For those who want to get really heady, here's a description of the "Generator" composition from the album's press release:
Composed for, and realized with a scalable selection of digital & analogue modular synthesis equipment, "Generator" was at attempt to wrest a viable performance-based music out what had until then been a solitary set of sound-design tools. The piece grew out of a frustration with the limitlessness of computer-based real-time synthesis & algorithmic / generative systems vs. their utter failure as performance solutions. It hinges heavily on the ideology of the "Playthroughs" system (in that the subtle tuning inconsistencies of a physical instrument -- the electric guitar -- could be amplified & multiplied) through the use of multiple layerings of different topologies of oscillator, yielding an unstable array of modal canons that drift in & out of "tune," causing all manner of inter-voice beating & assorted psycho-acoustic effects.
Generators will be available on February 21. The album can be pre-ordered here.

Joey and his team did an excellent roofing job, working until late into the evening to finish. Good clean-up too and friendly manner. I highly recommend this company.
Joey is amazing. After the Tornado he went around the neighborhood to make sure everyone was ok. I had a section of my roof ripped off and my plywood was exposed. **** was there the day of the tornado repairing the roof. He took care of it on the spot even matched the color of my original roof. I highly recommened him and his business to my 2 neighbors and they hired him on the spot.
We had Diamond Empire out to restore our roof for us. I phoned Joey and asked if he would come over and quote us on having our roof restored. I was very impressed on how he went over everything. He took photos and showed us what needed to be done. In the written quote everything was written down what was to be done. The crew was on time and were very proffessional. The workmanship was second to none. There pricing was very ressonable, not like others that i was quoted. I had four quotes all up and found Diamond Empire was the way to go. The roof has turned out fantastic. Thank you to Joey and the crew.

Einstein Quotes
Albert Einstein (1879-1955)
There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle.
Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance, you must keep moving.
Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one.
Not everything that can be counted counts, and not everything that counts can be counted.
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.
Intellectual growth should commence at birth and cease only at death.
A man's ethical behavior should be based effectually on sympathy, education, and social ties; no religious basis is necessary. Man would indeed be in a poor way if he had to be restrained by fear of punishment and hope of reward after death.
The further the spiritual evolution of mankind advances, the more certain it seems to me that the path to genuine religiosity does not lie through the fear of life, and the fear of death, and blind faith, but through striving after rational knowledge.
Great spirits have always found violent opposition from mediocrities. The latter cannot understand it when a man does not thoughtlessly submit to hereditary prejudices but honestly and courageously uses his intelligence.
Heroism on command, senseless violence, and all the loathsome nonsense that goes by the name of patriotism -- how passionately I hate them!
How I wish that somewhere there existed an island for those who are wise and of good will.
Little is the number that think with their own mind and feel with their own heart.
Common sense is the collection of prejudices acquired by age 18.
Peace cannot be achieved through violence, it can only be attained through understanding.
The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and science.
The man who enjoys marching in line and file to the strains of music falls below my contempt: he received is great brain by mistake; the spinal cord would have been amply sufficient.
The release of the atom power has changed everything except our way of thinking...the solution to this problem lies in the heart of mankind. If only I had known I should have become a watchmaker.
The most incomprehensible thing about the world is that it is all comprehensible.
Perfection of means and confusion of goals seem -- in my opinion -- to characterize our age.
Imagination is more important than knowledge, for knowledge is limited while imagination embraces the entire world.
Few people are capable of expressing with equanimity opinions which differ from the prejudices of their social environment. Most people are not even capable of forming such opinions. I am living without fats, without meat, without fish, but am feeling quite well this way. It always seems to me that man was not born to be a carnivore.
A human being is a part of the whole, called by us the 'Universe', a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings, as something separate from the rest - a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty. Nobody is able to achieve this completely, but the striving for such achievement is in itself a part of the liberation and a foundation for inner security. - New York Post, 28 November 1972

All of CopperSmith's unique bird feeders are designed with long-lasting copper finishes, high seed capacities, and a structure that will support birds in your yard for years to come. Brace your bird feeder securely in the ground, in a garden shepherds hook, or on a sturdy tree branch.
Bird feeders are eye-catching sculptures that supply food for your backyard fauna. As a multi-purpose accessory, you have a range of options when it comes to its structure. CopperSmith offers a mixture of traditional bird feeders and stunning constructions fit for the artistically inspired backyard spaces.
Since bird feeders complement your outdoor space, natural metals that are both sustainable and durable blend the best with the surrounding beauty. Copper is a highly environmentally friendly material as it lasts through wear and tear can be easily recycled.
It's also important to keep your birdfeeder safe and strong both for your own safety and for the visiting birds. Our superior, hand-crafted bird feeders are built for decades of enjoyment. Since copper holds up in extreme heat and moisture, you don't have to worry about it rusting or breaking down in inclement weather.
You will traditionally encounter two types of bird feeders: open-style birdbaths and hanging bird feeders. Both varieties must be easy to refill, clean, and drain for ongoing upkeep. The design must allow for birds to perch and access the food in a way that invites them back time and again. Proper drainage is also essential for keeping rain from pooling at the bottom of the feeder and soaking the seeds. All of CopperSmitth's bird feeders are designed for beauty and easy use for both you and the birds.
The Audubon Society recommends tube feeders for attracting the widest range of bird species. These types of feeders are easy to hand away from squirrels and welcome birds of all sizes. CopperSmith tube feeders feature a large seed capacity for low-maintenance upkeep.
The placement of your bird feeder should be in a spot that is both beautiful to view and safe for its visitors. For example, avoid placing feeders too close to thick shrubberies or trees in case there are nearby predators that will discourage them from swooping down. Open branches that allow birds to naturally perch are ideal. Be sure to hang feeders five feet or so above the ground, just at about eye level.
Also keep any sights, smells, or physical dangers in mind when choosing the best spot. Windchimes may spook birds off the feeder, as do the smells from the nearby garage or laundry vents. Specialists recommend either placing bird feeders far from windows or just a few feet away—so that birds are able to easily detect the nearby glass before lifting off.
Designing your outdoor space deserves just as much attention as the interior of your home. When choosing a bird feeder, select a design that shows off your modern design sensibilities. Speak with one of our specialists today for guidance on bird feeders, garden accessories, and architectural accents elevated by copper.

Foreword: I remember I was introduced to the Mangekyou series by a good friend named "gangrelion" (Not sure what he's up to nowadays. Probably playing galge on other mediums like PS Vita or something). I remember getting some really good impressions from it along with the game itself being fun, so I've essentially played the entire Bishoujo Mangekyou series–this recent one wouldn't really be an exception.
One of the biggest things with the Mangekyou series is that it has some serious shit going on. Regardless of whether or not that "shit" makes sense in the context of the original story or not, all of these games have extreme impact which makes these games highly memorable and also enjoyable.
Please note as a rather short game, mild spoilers are included in certain portions!
Title: 美少女万華鏡 -罪と罰の少女-
Producers: ωstar
Release Date: July 28, 2017
VNDB Link: https://vndb.org/v19182
Getchu Link: http://www.getchu.com/soft.phtml?id=903609
Game Type: Kinetic Nukige novel revolving around incest
Summary: Yuuma is a boy who's been hospitalized for some mental illness by his father, who hates him with everything he has. His days in the hospital wasn't anything special as one day his twin sister Yuuri came to pick him up to take him home. Despite his father still being present, Yuuri is protective of Yuuma and takes care of him well.
Yuuma does have some trouble getting used to his new environment and his father who torments him to no end, but with Yuuri's suggestion to crossdress and attend her school, perhaps Yuuma might find what he wants to do with his life outside of the hospital.
Story Length: Short (10 hours)
Complete Story Clearing Difficulty: Easy
Comments: A pretty straightforward game, it seems there are three routes, two bad ones leading to subheroines and the main one. Quite frankly, there was really no need to have these subheroines because they were (as with the other series) only included for the H-scenes.
Character Design Rating: 4/10
Story Rating: 6/10
Protagonist Rating: 3/10
Game Quality: Moderate
Overall Rating: 4/10
Rating Comments: This game was really weird indeed! More or less though it fell much short of my expectations.
Character design was impactful, but hideously disgusting. Literally everyone in the game is fucked up in some way except MAYBE Ichika (a subheroine… though you can argue she had her issues too), and all these characters that appear and engage in incest like it was nothing made this game a bit cringe, especially because the taboo is only discussed and attempted to be justified with "love".
Seriously? Trying to incorporate romance in a nukige? In retrospect, most of the points really came from Yuuri's design because of how much focus she had.
She legitimately received a lot of attention, such as how this CG featuring her close-up face is completely animated and varies in expression
Story is relatively low, but not as low as it would have been if the game lacked that huge plot twist in the end, various foreshadowing, and dark atmosphere. Crossdressing in a girl's school was merely a setting and was never really the main theme so that was acceptable. While this score is definitely low due to how the entire game was mostly H-scenes between Yuuma and Yuuri, it really makes up for it using those literary elements as I've mentioned before. (Doesn't mean it's a good game though kappa)
Protagonist actually earns most of his score back because of the same thing as the story; the plot twist regarding him as well as various foreshadows the game displayed for Yuuma. At the beginning and middle portions he might seem like a spineless wimp who can't do anything and a coward who can't stand up to his problems, but he gets better (or worse. However you want to look at it); he's insane and you see him go absolute nuts at the end it's almost funny to watch. Trust me; if you had bad impressions on him for being not-so-protagonist like I did, you'll be in for a surprise. Again whether or not that's a good thing is something I can't decide for you.
He's fully voiced even in the H-scenes though, so that's something… No?
As it is they look pretty different even as twins
Sexual Content: High
Comments: So basically this game in a nutshell is that this family's got problems. The jist is that Yuuma's family is him, his twin sister Yuuri, their mother and father, and an uncle who is a brother of their mother's side. The problem is, every single one of these characters are into incest (and actually performs it) or at least attempts to do so in the case of the twin's father.
As we know, incest is considered a "sin" due to various religious sources stating as such (which is ironic because some iconic religious individuals engaged in it), and in terms of natural selection, incest is heavily frowned upon due to the offspring being born unable to receive dominant genes from different "sources" of parents and instead potentially inherit deadly genes which cut their lifespan severely. Some sources suggest that that direct incest between siblings have upwards of 60% chance of some form of defects.
In reality though, aside from these two things there's really no other things wrong with incest, and while I'm not trying to advocate for it here, this game takes it to a whole new level with pretty much the mother of the family inbreeding with her own brother and the twins born from her engaging in intercourse with each other. The conclusion of the true end even shows Yuuri and Yuuma having twins. Okay. That's enough. We get the point you want to show us incest.
What. The. Fuck.
The main problem I see with ωstar games is that while it does have the impact and for the most part it's worth your time as a simple read, there's really no point to all of it. The game's context is that a horror writer goes to an inn where he sees a ghost who gives him a kaleidoscope which gives him
highs visions which he uses for his writing. It's already pretty perplexing how the entire series went through a vampire, ghosts, robot dolls, and now twins, but there's really no moral contained in any of the games. Each of these games have some hints on sociology or philosophy, but none of it is elaborated and kept extremely vague so they might as well just leave it out…
Let's also not discuss this ridiculously obvious reference
So long story short it seems that this series is pretty much a nukige without anything else attached to it making it unfortunate because it does have some pretty nice settings and concepts.
I also wanted to talk about a rather blatant contradiction this game had… but that would actually be a huge spoiler so I'm not sure if I'd like to talk about it in the body of the review. Perhaps if someone else noticed this contradiction they can have a discussion with me regarding what they thought about it and such
Affection for the Characters: Low
CG Score: 7/10. Quite a few animations in this game
Music Score: 5/10.
Addictiveness: Low
- Highly impactful story with plot twists well foreshadowed
- H-scene animations
- Main heroine, Yuuri, is very well defined
- Unfortunately too short for readers to become immersed into it
- Protagonist might seem annoying to readers in the beginning with his lack of action and weakness
So Tsumi to Batsu no Shoujo is the 4th in the series to be added to the Bishoujo Mangekyou series. I still think the 3rd title was probably the best, but this series is pretty dark and interesting should you ever consider getting into it. As it stands the 4th game might be a little slow in the middle portions, but just plow through and you'll see some weird shit and incest happening left and right to the point you'll be done with the game before you realize it.
P.S. Sorry for not talking about the subcharacters at all; they're literally so insignificant I really have nothing I can say about them in the first place
Routes outside of Yuuri's is pretty much a bad route anyways

Posted February 13, 2015
San Francisco Chronicle
For the past few months, the nonprofit San Francisco Baykeeper has been remotely piloting the craft — a catamaran topped with a loaner Google Street View camera.
In a teaming of tech and environmental advocacy, Baykeeper is using the camera's 360-degree imagery to capture the shoreline's rising sea levels, mapping a meandering 400 miles of the bay's coast. The idea is to give people a close-up view of the shore, the kind of view typically available only from a boat.

JEOL introduces a new benchtop SEM at Pittcon 2016: the JSM-6000Plus, the third generation of the popular NeoScope. The NeoScope delivers fast, high magnification electron microscopy with more functionality than typical benchtop SEMs. The JSM-6000Plus model offers high sensitivity backscatter electron detection with a JEOL BSE detector to detect contrast between areas of the sample with different chemical compositions.
JEOL's benchtop SEM makes it possible to bring basic high resolution imaging and analysis features of a full-sized Scanning Electron Microscope into the lab. It fits into both small spaces and economical budgets, and its simple operation and versatile functions complement the workflow with optical microscopes or larger SEMs.
JEOL understands that even the smallest microscope needs the flexibility of selectable high and low kV, selectable beam currents, and up to 60,000X magnification to be a valuable resource.
The simplicity of design with touchscreen operation make the NeoScope an ergonomic, easy-to-operate SEM for rapid inspection of electronics, pharmaceuticals, forensic evidence, and a wide variety of materials and organic samples.
The JEOL NeoScope is the culmination of more than 50 years of expertise in SEM development and is supported by the award-winning service organization at JEOL USA.
The NeoScope is available exclusively from Nikon Metrology, Inc., a leading supplier of optical microscopes, through a business alliance between JEOL and Nikon.
