Chestnut Hill College will host the 7th Annual United Nations Conference on Teaching Peace and Human Rights on Thursday, March 29, at 9:30 a.m. in the East Parlor of St. Joseph Hall.
The keynote speaker will be Ramu Damodaran, deputy director for Partnerships and Public Engagement in the United Nations Department of Public Engagement in the United Nations Department of Public Information's Outreach Division and chief of the UN's Academic Impact Initiative, which aligns institutions of higher learning and research with the objectives of the United Nations and each other.
The two-day conference, a collaboration between Adelphia University in New York and Chestnut Hill College, is sponsored by Global Education Motivators (GEM) and will feature experts in the field of human rights, literacy, sustainability and conflict resolution. GEM is a non-governmental organization (NGO) whose goal is to teach peace and human rights in a multicultural world.
"At its core, Chestnut Hill College engages its students in service with an emphasis in both local and global contexts," said Stephanie Raible, a volunteer for GEM. "With renowned faculty in the disciplines of human rights and peace education, as well as its socially conscious student population, the college has truly been the perfect host and partner for the conference.
"The topics covered at the conference reflect the breadth of educators that serve in our community and will provide them with local and international perspectives on educational practice."
Participants will have the opportunity to converse with Rayla Melchor Santos, founder and president of McKinley Hill International School and Leadership Academy for Children, Lipa, the Philippines. She also is president of I am S.A.M. Foundation and founder of Cyber Kids Best (CKB168).
Participants also will discuss human rights resources with Ellen Firestone, of Youth for Human Rights, play human rights games with Medard Gabel, of BigPictureSmallWorld, interact with students and teachers from the Philadelphia High School for Peace and Social Justice, and learn more about distance learning for human rights in the classroom.
On day two of the conference, participants from both institutions will have the opportunity to interact via video conference with educators from many nations, including Karachi, Pakistan; Chennai, India; Burnaby, Canada; Mexico City, Mexico; Manila, the Philippines, and with officials at the United Nations.
The conference was started by Wayne Jacoby and Dr. Rita Verma, founders of GEM, almost 31 years ago.
Jacoby, who taught history for about 30 years in the Springfield School District said he and his colleagues realized a need "to help teachers do better work with the changing students in their classrooms" many of whom were from different parts of the world.
"They [students] were being mainstreamed before they understood English and the culture here," he said.
Jacoby applied for and received a grant from the Pennsylvania Humanities Council to start GEM.
"This is our 31st year, and we are now educating a second generation," he said.
Jacoby explained why such conferences are important:
"It's part of the 21st century education real-world, real-time experience. It [education] doesn't always cover the big picture. This conference and others we do with students allows them to broaden their perspectives by interacting with their colleagues in different parts of the world."
The conference can stand alone as an independent conference, but it is also part of the preparation for a second day on March 30 at the United Nations.
"There are four C's that are the central part of 21st century education – not just in the United States but in other countries, as well – that cover things like communication, collaboration, creativity and critical thinking," Jacoby said.
The workshops will teach educators a way to be innovative in the classroom, Jacoby said, pointing out that the goal is to get teachers to think "outside the box and getting them involved with real-world real-time experiences."

When Mitchell Weiner, the assistant principal at IS 238 in Hollis, passed away from Swine Flu on May 17, most of us were caught in the details of the flu to think about the family that had just had their world rocked. Well, maybe, thanks to baseball, the healing process can begin.
Jordan Weiner, Mitchell's 18 year-old son, pitched his heart out after his father's passing, throwing a no-hitter barely a day after his father's funeral. Weiner, wearing his father's initials on his cap, was dominant; striking out 13 to help Robert F. Kennedy defeated Prospect Heights 10-0 in the first round of the PSAL Class B playoffs on May 21.
Five days later, Jordan was back at it, this time fanning 19 batters in a complete game performance, as Kennedy knocked off Alfred E. Smith in the second round.
Kennedy's journey ended with a 10-0 loss to Taft last Thursday, and with it Jordan's high school baseball career, but the outpouring of affection from the world onto Jordan's shoulders has been enormous. On Sunday, Jordan threw out the first pitch at CitiField, a big, sloping curve ball that found it's way to the plate for a strike.
Jordan says he'll continue playing baseball next year at Queens College, and we bet the Knights can't wait for you to arrive. That's why Jordan Weiner is this week's athlete of the week.

The two puppies were not at all what a man from Puerto Rico expected to find just a couple months ago. Their condition shocked him --- they were covered in scabs and painful sores --- and he feared that they would not live much longer in their dire state. In desperation, he took them home to try to nurse them back to health.
This compassionate man quickly realized that the puppies needed more medical and financial help than he could offer them. He contacted a local rescue group, Souls of Satos, and they reached out to their partner rescue, the AMA Animal Rescue in Brooklyn, New York, for assistance.
The AMA Animal Rescue representatives were horrified by the pictures that they saw of the puppies' conditions. They wrote on their Facebook page, "What [Souls of Santos] showed us was so disturbing that we couldn't even cry from the shock. We saw 3-month-old defenseless little puppies covered head to toe in scabs, raw skin on their paws, and covered in patches of skin hanging and about to fall off. And without help, they wouldn't have lived to be even 6 months old."
The Brooklyn rescue outfit quickly moved to raise funds to pay for the puppies' medical care, and once they were safe and stabilized, for their transportation to the United States.
The puppies went through a week of intensive medical care but showed signs of responding favorably to the treatment. The AMA Animal Rescue was dedicated to saving these puppies, named Snow and Shylah, then finding them a loving, forever home in New York.
But despite the rescue's efforts, it was ultimately up to the dogs to determine if they wanted to fight to live. The two siblings pushed each other to fight for life and were there for each other through thick and thin. Their perseverance and love helped them beat the odds, and in October, they arrived in New York in much better condition than they were found the month before.
Better yet, the puppies were soon adopted together to a loving family! We hope these two best friends have many happy, healthy days ahead of them in the future.
Watch the video of the puppies below, then share this miraculous story with your dog-loving friends and family on Facebook.

BOSTON -- Orioles right-handed reliever Darren O'Day jumped on a flight to Boston this morning and arrived at Fenway Park during batting practice. He will be available to pitch in relief tonight.
O'Day, who received two injections in his right hand and wrist area to reduce nerve inflammation that had been causing numbness and tingling in his fingers, was evaluated Wednesday morning after a bullpen session on Tuesday.
"He said today he feels good, good enough to pitch," Orioles manager Buck Showalter said. "He's coming. It's pretty simple this time of year. It's yes or no."
** The condition of right-hander Miguel Gonzalez's right groin strain improved significantly, and Showalter said Gonzalez could now be an option to start Saturday in Tampa Bay along with right-hander Bud Norris. The club will make that decision Thursday after Gonzalez throws a light bullpen session before the game.
-- Orioles slugger Chris Davis not only set a single-season club record with his 51st homer last night. He also broke Brady Anderson's single-season record of 92 extra-base hits. Davis is the fifth left-handed hitter in AL history to hit 51 or more homers and have 132 or more RBIs, joining Babe Ruth (1920, '21, '27, '28), Ken Griffey, Jr. (1997, '98), Roger Maris (1961) and David Ortiz (2006)
-- In four games on this road trip, Orioles pitchers have held opponents to a .050 average (1-for-20) with runners in scoring position, stranding 23 runners on base.
Here are tonight's starting lineups:
Nate McLouth LF
Manny Machado 3B
Chris Davis 1B
Adam Jones CF
Nick Markakis RF
Danny Valencia DH
Matt Wieters C

… in the Minneapolis Star Tribune notes that the most charitable description of what's been going on at the clubby University of Minnesota medical school would be "bizarre."
Tuesday, December 18, 2012
By Mila Koumpilova
The University of Minnesota's Academic Health Center needs a clearer vision of its future to shake off a "malaise" that has plagued it, said an outside review committee.
U President Eric Kaler launched the review of the center, which includes the university's medical school, the main training ground for physicians in the state. While some health science schools at the U rank high nationally, the med school's reputation and rankings have flagged -- an issue Kaler has deemed a priority.
In a report the U released publicly Monday, Dec. 17, the three-member committee offered few specific prescriptions but stressed the need for the AHC community to rally around a common vision. Kaler responded by charging Medical School Dean Aaron Friedman with appointing a faculty-led group to produce a strategic plan by next summer.
"We need a vision and plan that brings together our faculty and staff and sets a foundation for growth and investment," Kaler said, adding that the U's health sciences community needs to refocus on its many strengths.
Other than that, U Director of Public Relations Chuck Tombarge pointed out, the external review will not trigger any immediate changes at the health center.
Kaler tapped Dr. Kenneth Kaushansky, the school of medicine dean at his former institution, Stony Brook University in New York, to head the committee. The group surveyed and interviewed faculty and staff and reviewed budget and accreditation documents.
"Our overall impression was that the University of Minnesota's health sciences are strong, but are at risk from several external and internal forces," the committee wrote.
The Academic Health Center has excellent faculty and students as well as a strong research portfolio, the report said. But a long-standing debate over the center's administrative structure has consumed too much energy amid a rapidly changing health care environment.
Many faculty spoke of the need for greater transparency, the report said. There were also concerns Friedman's dual role as medical school dean and vice president of health sciences makes the job too unwieldy.
Above all, though, the medical school needs "a vision of where it is going and how it will get there." The report also suggested the U seek out new clinical partnerships even as it continues to negotiate with its main partner, Fairview Health Services, on overhauling a relationship many at the university criticized.
Kaler said those negotiations delayed the release of the report and his response.

KIST/PU 6th Annual Symposium: High Impact Research to Society
Published on
In 2006, the South Korean Ministry of Science and Technology selected the KIST and Purdue team project from 20 international research proposals submitted to examine how to learn more about the molecular makeup of diseases.
The $4.5 million research initiative, which spans nine years, now involves more than a dozen of KIST and Purdue researchers, working to advance the role that nanoparticles can play in the diagnosis and treatment of cancer or chronic diseases like diabetes and multiple sclerosis.
The research also focuses on next-generation tools that would aid the medical community in what's known as theragnosis -- combining simultaneous diagnostics and therapeutics.

Be swept away by the winds of winter and experience a town that has something for everyone to do. Begin by strolling through the restored 1800s village housing 15 historic buildings and three museums.
Be swept away by the winds of winter and experience a town that has something for everyone to do. Begin by strolling through the restored 1800s village housing 15 historic buildings and three museums.
Take a customized guided tour for only $15 per adult. The day trip begins at 8:30 a.m. with coffee and a mouth-watering Kalona pastry. Then it's downtown to begin your Quilt Block Walking Tour.
After that, it's off to the Amish countryside and shopping through quaint neighborhoods offering handmade wares and food selections. The noontime stop is in a Mennonite home for a family-style dinner. By 1 p.m. tourists will visit the nationally-known Kalona Cheese Factory farm.
The van-trip tour ends back at the Historical Village for museum browsing where guests will not want to miss the Iowa Mennonite Museum and Archives.
The 1879 railroad depot has been restored reminding visitors of the area's early days as a shorthorn cattle breeding center. First known as "Bull-town" the name was changed to Kalona in honor of a famous registered sire by the name of Kalona.
Of interest is the 1892 Wahl House that was built to replace a stagecoach stop hotel. It now houses a vast collection of glassware and antiques. The one-room schoolhouse was built about 1850. It was nicknamed "Straw College" because straw was stuffed behind the wainscoting for warmth during winter.
The Snyder Log House was built in 1842 and is thought to be the oldest house in the county.
Museum quilts date from 1810 through the 1950s. Known as the "Quilt Capitol of Iowa," vibrant and unusual quilts of all varieties abound in this area. The Quilt Block Walking Tour is a fun thing to do for everyone. Downtown shops have 42 samples of vintage quilt blocks in their storefronts. Each quilt block is identified with information to its name and origin.
The Kalona area is home to the largest Amish-Mennonite settlement west of the Mississippi River. A little about the Amish and the Mennonites of Kalona: The Amish arrived in the area in 1846.
Their group's Bishops give members sets of rules for their everyday life. Several different kinds of buggies are used. There are single buggies, family-style buggies and the church wagon.
The church wagon carries the benches for services that are held in different homes. Retiring Amish give their main house to their oldest son, so there may be several generations of a family living in the same home.
The Amish pay taxes but do not accept government aid including Social Security and farm subsidies. Singing is an important part in Mennonite worship. They sing praises from beginning to the end of each service and leave worship services singing.
Unlike the Conservative Mennonites, Mennonites live in modern homes with electricity and telephones and wear regular clothes.
A special event is the Iowa Mennonite Relief Sale. The last weekend in May attracts more than 10,000 visitors at the Iowa City Fairgrounds.
For 34 years the Relief Sale has been organized by more than 35 Iowa Mennonite and Brethren in Christ Churches.
Relief Sales support the worldwide relief program of the Mennonites. Items last year included: 90 quilts, handmade furniture and crafts, meals hosted in their homes and much more.
Once arriving in Kalona, plan to spend one whole day exploring the immediate area. Check in with Nancy Roth, Kalona Tour Director, at the Village Center. Kalona is where "you'll discover a way of life that the rest of this country has left behind. Come experience that 'old fashion' hospitality!"

Dave Matthews Band @ PNC Park in 2010
What are two things that I love? Baseball and the Dave Matthews Band.
I just got word that Dave Matthews Band is likely to play PNC Park on July 10th, 2010. This would break from recent tradition of playing their Pittsburgh Area shows at the Post Gazette Pavilion in Burgettstown.
The last time DMB played a stadium show in Pittsburgh it was at Three Rivers Stadium in July of 2000. I was there, and it was my first DMB show. Rather fitting that 10 years later, almost to the day, they would return and deliver another stadium concert.
It's not uncommon for DMB to play stadiums, as in the past few years they've held concerts at such venues such as Fenway Park and Busch Stadium.
This will not be one of those cheap 70 minute concerts that follow a Pirates game.
No, this will be an actual full length concert that has nothing to do with a promotion to get fans to come to a baseball game to see a free concert and fireworks.
The question is now, will Pirates season ticket holders be able to purchase tickets before the general public?

Story by Aaron (Tex) Finnin and party photos by Casey Keener:
One month ago Jordan Teear and I were high-fiving in celebration of his first 24-hour Friday 13th super party completion. It was to kick off our long-awaited 4,000 mile summer ride from Los Angles to New York City to meet up with our buddy Oliver Peck. We spent the next 48-hours recovering from messed up sleeping schedules and wrenching the final details on our bikes before heading east. That Sunday the 15th of July the absolute worst wrench was thrown into our adrenaline plan. "We didn't even make it to the freeway," became Jordan's favorite line as he chuckled and told the story of his broken legs and ankles numerous times followed by one of his token light-hearted jokes over the next three weeks…
Life changes, plans take major detours and you can only hope in the face of tragedy you have a brother as beloved by all that come in contact with Jordan Teear around. Wheeling around a five block radius with two casted legs is sure to catch an eye in the middle of Hollywood day after day, but with Jordan everyone passing by wanted to strike up a convo. He's one of those charismatic people who can't be ignored and always drawing smiles and laughs to anyone engaging him. "We went from a summer ride to hospital walls, surgery, then Netflix," Jordan would say. At any rate Jordan has a long road ahead…
The doctors finally cleared him to fly home to London and projected eight weeks before any pressure might be allowed and an estimated year to full recovery, which we all hope will be expedited. None of us could have expected the outreach in calls, letters, social media support and aid… And Jordan and I both sat in awe at the outpouring our tattoo community provided. This morning we packed up and delivered him to his long-awaited flight back to London to reunite with family and friends over the Atlantic.
The Frith Street Tattoo Family ready to embrace and help him back to full strength. Jordan will no doubt be spending countless hours drawing and painting over the next couple of months while he stays wheelchair mobile, and hopefully sooner than later will begin tattooing regular appointment schedules. There can never be enough thanks and gratitude from myself, Jordan and all of his friends and family but I know we all have bigger hearts because of the love given surrounding this event.
In time hopefully we will be able to personally thank each and everyone who gave their love and support. I know I look forward to meeting and seeing all of his mates and family back in the UK at the London Tattoo Convention in September and hopefully Jordan will be plugging away at his booth by then. Again, thank you for everyone's love and support over the past month. I'm sure all the goodness will come back to all.
Here's a little more about True South…
On March 27 this year the day after my last day working for the All American Rejects I was hit-and-run on my Harley. The accident put me in the hospital with a major concussion, torn rotator cup, and a few scrapes, bumps, bruises, etc. This accident book ending a long strand of hardships from the past year, but nonetheless left me thankful and reflective to slow down and regroup. Countless friends reached out and offered funds, assistance, and words of encouragement and inspired me to create True South. I began struggling with the idea of my friends sending money without return so I asked for their artistic gifts.
I asked for those offering their aid to create a t-shirt design. In return these designs would help create an accident relief fund for friends in the art community in need of help during unforeseen accidents. My ultimate goal is to help create some sort of insurance network for artists and service industry workers, but for now I'm starting small. Some of the most revered artists in the tattoo and music community have offered their support and creations and I am reaching out to any and all friends who might want to join in this cause. For now I will be releasing t-shirt designs periodically as the artists complete them. I am excited to see where this journey will take me and those involved. Below are the first two designs created by Eric Gillespie from Chicago Tattoo Company.
I am always open to new ideas and any help you might want to offer. Feel free to check updates on our True South Instagram @truesouth
Artists involved:
.:Eric Gillespie (Chicago Tattoo Co.)…Josh Arment (The Aloha Monkey Tattoo)…Tim Hendricks (Goldrush Tattoo/Saltwater Tattoo)…Oliver Peck (Elm Street Tattoo/True Tattoo)…Carl Hallowell (Elm Street Tattoo)…Dan Phillips (Slowride/True Widow)…Nick Colella (Chicago Tattoo Co.)…Daniel Albrigo (Three Kings)…Tony Hundahl & Steve Byrne (Rock of Ages Tattoo)…Matt Arriola (Liberty Tattoo Seattle)…Chad Koeplinger…Jordan Teear (Frith Street tattoo London)…Ross Nagle (Allstar Tattoo Limerick, Ireland)

Is your check engine light on or your car making that weird noise again? Beginning next week, you can start the diagnostic process from the comfort of your own home.
Starting Jan. 19, many North Shore Wicked Local websites and newspapers will start to feature feature a new weekly column called "The Auto Scanner" written by Georgetown resident Larry Rubenstein.
Larry and his son, Scott, own Rte. 1 Auto Service in Peabody, and have been answering questions for Boston area drivers on WBZ Radio as "The Car Guys" and in other North Shore publications for years.
The name of the column is derived from the "scanner" device used to look at what's going on in computerized cars. Rubenstein said the column will provide readers with "informative answers for hard-to-fix automotive problems, maintenance recommendations, advice on do-it-yourself (DIY) car repairs, weekly car care tips and stories by my son and I at our shop.
"Mix all this in with a bit of levity, and it will make for pleasant reading," said Rubenstein.
Rubenstein's philosophy on car repair is to "to do it right the first time at the most affordable price. We will always give our customers of their options when it comes to car repairs.
"Maintenance is less costly than repair, so listen to your car because every sound means something," he said. "Finally, address problems early on and they will cost less to repair."
According to the Rte. 1 Auto Service website, they are a "family-run auto shop, in operation for 35 years, dedicated to helping you get back on the road fast."
Rubenstein added, "We pride ourselves on making the diagnostic that the dealerships cannot. We are constantly attending seminars and classes to make sure we are up to date on the latest and greatest.
"I was one of the first 100 ASE Master Technicians in Massachusetts," Rubenstein noted, "and Scott is also a Master Technician earning his degree from Franklin Community Technical School."
Larry and his wife, Sandra, have lived in Georgetown for over 30 years. Their son Scott, his wife Sabrina and their daughter Juliana are all an integral part of the shop's success, Larry said.
"I started by watching my father when I was a little boy at the age of 5 or 6," Larry said of how he found his passion for cars. "I loved watching him take something that was broken and fix it with his hands. It was amazing and now I've had the joy of watching my son develop over the years.
"Scott started by rebuilding his mom's carburetor on the kitchen table and that sparked his interest," said Rubenstein. "Today, Scott really excels at looking at today's computer-based technology in the cars and saying, 'What was the engineer thinking when he programmed this car?' and working backwards to figure out the problem.
"I also give a lot of credit to my wife," Larry added. "She is the wind beneath my wings."
Larry said that with his column, he hopes he can "give back to the community with my knowledge and expertise."
"I've been very fortunate, so it's my way of giving back," Larry added. "All people need to do is send their car problems to me via e-mail, and watch the paper [or website] for a response. I will try to personally answer each and every question."
Drivers can submit car questions to Larry at email@example.com. For more tips and seasonal articles, visit Rte. 1 Auto Service's Facebook page at facebook.com/Rte-1-Auto-Service, or the shop's website at rte1autoservice.com. You can hear Larry and his son Scott on WBZ's NightSide.

Naples is a busy, lively city with wide avenues, narrow alleys, beautiful historical buildings and a magnificent bay.
When in Naples, you must visit Castel Nuovo. This castle was built in the 13th century and has three very distinctive dark towers, each with a different shade of grey. The towers' different colours are due to the igneous rocks of which they are built. Museo Archeologico Nazionale, which is one of the world's most important archaeological museums, and Teatro San Carlo, the second biggest theatre in Italy, are well worth a visit.
You can relax in the magnificent Bay of Naples or on the romantic island of Capri. The true charm of Naples is to be found in the narrow alleys overhung by washing, where Italian mamas lean over balconies in the hope of starting a conversation with any passer-by. These alleys are now few in number, but you will find some behind Piazza del Plebiscito.

Lineup breakdown: Tigers-A's, Game 5
By Bobby Nightengale/MLB.com A look at Thursday's starting lineups for Game 5 of the American League Division Series between the Tigers and the Athletics:
TIGERSView Full Game Coverage
By Bobby Nightengale/MLB.com A look at Thursday's starting lineups for Game 5 of the American League Division Series between the Tigers and the Athletics:
TIGERSView Full Game Coverage
Jhonny Peralta remains in the starting lineup after going 3-for-7 with a home run and five RBIs in the last two games, but he will make his first start at shortstop since serving his 50-game suspension over the last two months of the regular season. Jose Iglesias will head to the bench, as he was 1-for-12 in this series.
Don Kelly went 2-for-3 against Sonny Gray in Game 2 and will be in left field and batting ninth. Miguel Cabrera also singled against Gray, and is still looking for his first extra-base hit of the postseason.
While the Tigers struggled to get anything going against Gray in Game 2, it will be important for Austin Jackson and Victor Martinez to help power the lineup. Jackson is only 2-for-15 in the series, while Martinez went 3-for-4 with a solo home run to help jumpstart the offense in Game 4.
1. Jackson, CF
2. Torii Hunter, RF
3. Cabrera, 3B
4. Prince Fielder, 1B
5. Martinez, DH
6. Peralta, SS
7. Alex Avila, C
8. Omar Infante, 2B
9. Kelly, LF
Manager Bob Melvin made only one switch from his lineup in Game 2 against Justin Verlander, but he shuffled the order around. Alberto Callaspo will make his first start of the postseason and bat seventh as the second baseman, replacing Eric Sogard who is 0-for-9 in the series. Callaspo is 1-for-3 in this year's ALDS, and 4-for-19 in his career against Verlander.
Yoenis Cespedes, who is batting .389 with three extra-base hits and four RBIs, moved up to the cleanup spot. Cespedes went 1-for-3 in Game 2 against Verlander, and also had a strong lineout to right field.
The biggest key for Oakland's lineup is Coco Crisp, who is 7-for-9 with four runs scored and two RBIs over the past two games. Although he has a decent history against Verlander in his career, 9-for-35 with three extra-base hits, he went 0-for-3 against him in Game 2.
1. Crisp, CF
2. Josh Donaldson, 3B
3. Jed Lowrie, SS
4. Cespedes, LF
5. Seth Smith, DH
6. Brandon Moss, 1B
7. Callaspo, 2B
8. Josh Reddick, RF
9. Stephen Vogt, C

Yep. Although I think I played it around 2011 since I didn't get my PSP until then Haven't finished saisei-hen and masou kishin 2 though due to lack of time and the upcoming OG 2. I can't remember anything particularly special with A portable though?

Been following this from @3 (I saw that the cover has Freedom on it. Because SEED was my first gundam series that I follow, I'm interested in that game.) First time I played it I don't even know about Seishin until half of the game good thing that they have gameshark back then

Oh, I forgot to mention it to be more difficult compared with modern SRW games not the older ones. Silly me lol. And yeah, F and F Final is more difficult than A Portable.
And yes, dodging penalty was so severe. Furthermore, it's one of SRW games where you can't just Full Upgrade one unit and steamrolled everything. Pretty much, you need to balance the upgrades between your units. And one of SRW games where evasion and hit bonus such as EWAC, etc comes pretty useful.
It also included some harder stages compared to modern SRW (final stage and that boss from stage 34 of Nadesico route, forgot his name but I'm sure he's the villain from Daitarn 3)

Count me in too :3
SRW is the one that made me hooked into mecha anime and learn about many mecha titles (as well as learning katakana, hiragana, and liiiitle bit of kanji ), and heck I even knew Gundam because SRW
Alpha Gaiden was my first. After that I play and completed Alpha, Alpha 2, Alpha 3, MX, W, K, L, J, Z, Z2 Hakai Hen, and Z2 Saisei Hen. And also Mugen no Frontier, Mugen no Frontier EXCEED, and Masou Kishin 2.
Those I played but not yet completed were Alpha for Dreamcast, MX Portable, A Portable, and OG2 (GBA).

I never had an advanced console back then so my first srw was 4 on SNES back then in 99~00 period (maybe earlier?). Just as bakAnki this game really got me to "cross the line" from simply being interested in kana-hira-kanji and get my ass on gear and start learning some things; it also got me into a lot of series that I didn't knew before playing.
It's when I finally got a PS2 is that I stopped borrowing games and started to care about getting them for myself

Well, all those thing can be easily negated with effective use of seishin(and stage reset to check where the reinforcement come from ), and when you've played the oldies SRW with all those crazy boss reinforcement(and boss was hard back then, not only huge HP pool hard, but hard stat-wise), effective use of seshin is the first thing you learn to beat it (I think even alpha need effective use of seishin to beat the later stages in hard)

F and Final (and other old ones) being hard due to...
-95% Supers are terrible. Now its pretty much opposite. Adding the stat 照準値 greatly helps them
-氣カ system is broken in this game
-Tier S newtypes are too good. Having 2 times movement per turn early make them even more useful
-Oldtypes are terrible, period.
-There is like less than 10 skills for character in this game. Almost everyone use exact same character skills
-NO CHARACTER CUSTOMIZATION, this only justify why oldtypes are terrible
-Space B.... mostly on supers.... there is no remedy for it
I think Super Robots Wars A (2001) is the first game to feel actually balanced. Since then, bad ones aren't ended up terrible.

The village is divided into several areas and has lovely old houses made of stone and wood with slate roofs, fountains, communal ovens and sundials, all in the typical local style. Saint Véran has a ski area at an altitude of 1750 to 2900 m. Downhill skiing is just one of the many ways of exploring the unspoilt surroundings. Cross-country skiing, ski touring, dog sleds and ice climbing will all lead you into the mountains. St Véran and Molines-en-Queyras resorts are linked, forming a ski area with 13 button tows and 30 pistes covering 38 km. The cross-country area stretches over 55 km. There is a ski school and equipment rental available.
- Gites of snowThis is accommodation located within 15 km of a ski resort of track or cross-country ski tracks and in response to the endorsement of qualification-"snow cottages------". The snow cottage is certified Gîtes de France accommodation that can be both a cottage, a guest room or a cottage step and stay, close to the slopes, and that is particularly suitable for families. Specific equipment in each cottage: a room to store your ski equipment, all the information needed for the smooth running of your stay (resort services, rates of packages, contact details of equipment rental companies). A detailed presentation of the services offered by the ski resorts and cross-country centers will help you in your choice.
- Massif du QueyrasThe Queyras is divided into several valleys where are divided the various villages of the massif. It is an ideal destination for hiking, in particular along the great hiking trails GR5 and GR58 (tour of Queyras). You can admire the fauna and particularly the exceptional flora of this massive. Since 1977, a regional park was created, its territory extends over 650 km2.
- ACCESS TO ST-VERAN-MOLINES-EN-QUEYRAS SKI AREAThe Molines-en-Queyras ski area extends from 1750-2900 m. In the heart of Queyras Regional Park, Molines is an unspoilt village and offers winter sports based around themes of nature and authenticity. Here, downhill skiing is just one of the many ways of exploring a nature still intact. Cross-country skiing, tour-skiing, mushing and ice climbing will all bring you closer to the mountains in all their splendour.

- GITE RANDO (HIKERS)The accommodation is situated near one or more marked hiking trails (PR, GR). The owner provides topographical maps (IGN) and guidebooks. He will be able to advise his guests on the itineraries and can provide a packed lunch (if you take your dinners with him).
- The road of sundialsSundials road runs through the Department of the Hautes-Alpes with more than 400 antique and contemporary dials.
- Route des Grandes AlpesInaugurated in 1937, the Route of the great Alps is the most beautiful mountain roaming: Thonon-les-Bains at Chin, from Geneva to the Mediterranean, 684 km and 16 passes among the highest in the Alpine french - six of them rising to over 2,000 metres - guide motorists, bikers, cyclists, cycling (and sometimes even... intrepid hikers!).
- EXPLORING NATUREThis accommodation is located in a well preserved natural setting. The owner will be happy to propose activities to explore nature and wildlife.
- SWEET BABYGoing on holiday with one or more children is not always easy. That's why we have created the 'loving baby' stay.

DRIVE simulates the behavior of cars during acceleration along their longitudinal plane of symmetry. The coupled dynamics of sprung and unsprung masses consider vehicle vertical and horizontal relative motion and pitch. It carefully models the driveline from the clutch to the tires, including the spring drive and gearbox. DRIVE is used by car and system part manufacturers in the automotive industry. BENCH simulates vehicle and suspension dynamics during tests on a shock absorber test bench. It simulates coupled dynamics of sprung and unsprung masses, and takes into account chassis torsional and flexural stiffness and damping. Shock absorbers can have a nonlinear damping behavior. BENCH makes it possible to introduce differences due to production tolerances and to detect out-of-tolerance components by comparing numerical and experimental results. BENCH is primarily used by car or shock absorber manufacturers to test their products.
CLUTCH simulates dynamic temperatures and heat-flow among the main clutch elements, from experimental or calculated friction-power input. For example, each temperature variable can correspond to temperature sensors used during tests in order to be compared with experimental values. Friction power input signals are obtained from the instrumentation placed on the vehicle during tests or you can calculate them using DRIVE.
CLUTCH-MECH simulates the dynamics of the main clutch elements as a function of experimental or assigned input commands. It enables you to visualize calculated displacements, velocities, and exchanged forces at different elements that make up single- or dual-disk clutches, as well as the transmitted torque. The program also accounts for wear effects on different elements of the system, thus predicting clutch performance by different solutions for design or materials.
CONDIZ dynamically simulates an automotive air conditioning system by calculating the thermodynamic behavior of the whole process made up of refrigeration system, inlet and delivery air ducts, and the passenger compartment. The program provides indications about system performance and enables you to identify the most effective design and temperature settings for controllers.
CARPET evaluates they dynamic behavior of automotive tires and simulates vehicle reverse dynamics. Starting from the experimental time history of cinematic variables acquired from road tests, it calculates vehicle dynamic behavior. Also included are toolboxes to analyze, post-process, and save simulation results. The product simulates vehicle reverse dynamics, solving the system of linear equations of the "bicycle model." These products were developed using the GUIDE tool in MATLAB®. They provide user-friendly interfaces which do not require users to know MATLAB and Simulink in detail.

The times of closed adoptions shrouded in secrecy are becoming a thing of the past, as The Washington Times reports that an estimated 95 percent of adoptions are now "open," meaning at least some level of contact between the two families is regular and welcomed, according to a report from the Evan B. Donaldson Adoption Institute.
Plus: Parents Sue Over Adopted Special Needs Baby
The study, "Openness in Adoption: From Secrecy and Stigma to Knowledge and Connections", found that the shrinking of completely closed or confidential adoptions—now at its smallest number ever, five percent (40 percent are "mediated"; 55 percent, "open")—is actually beneficial for all involved, which may explain the change. Women who placed their infants up for adoption and have regular contact with the family and child involved report less signs of worry, grief and regret. The children benefit too, both emotionally and physically, through access to birth relatives and their family and medical histories. Adoptive parents also report greater satisfaction with open adoptions.
Plus: The Guncles' Blog: Our Journey of Open Adoption
In order to achieve successful open adoption relationships, the Donaldson Institute recommends that:
- All parents involved (expectant ones considering adoption and pre-adoptive) should receive thorough counseling and training.
- All parents who choose open adoption should receive training on the factors that are important to achieving successful relationships, including strategies for working through tensions and maintaining a child-centered focus.
- All parents should be offered post-adoption services in order to work through any challenges they encounter in relation to openness.
- Additional research should be conducted to better understand the factors that promote successful open adoption relationships and ways in which practitioners can support them.

Have you adopted a child? If so, was the adoption open, closed, or somewhere in-between?

Difference between revisions of "Tioman"
Revision as of 04:52, 22 November 2011
Tioman (Malay: Pulau Tioman) is a small island, 39 km long and 12 km wide, located off the east coast of peninsular Malaysia.
Tioman is in Pahang ("East Coast") within the Mersing Marine Park, which contains less commerical islands such as Sibu Island. The primary gateway Mersing is in Johor ("South").
Tioman's beaches were depicted in the 1958 movie South Pacific as "Bali Hai". In the 1970s, Time magazine selected Tioman as one of the world's most beautiful islands. The densely forested island is still sparsely inhabited. Also it is surrounded by numerous white coral reefs, making it a haven for scuba divers from around the region.
Already the most commercially developed of Malaysia's eastern islands, a controversial RM 40 million marina project for Kampung Tekek, complete with 175 m cargo jetty, now threatens to speed up the pace of development on Tioman considerably. The marina is finished and the jetty is under construction. However, visitors with an aversion to such progress can avoid this part of the island and stay elsewhere without any impact.
You will find enormous monitor lizards across the island and in the kampongs you will often see them sifting through the rubbish piles looking for food. There is also an abundance of domestic cats.
Rubbish control on the island is still in a development stage, apart from in some of the resorts. So expect some less than pristine circumstances, but there is no doubt that at June 2011 places such as Air Batong are making progress on this front, encouragement required.
Get in
There is a RM5 conservation fee to enter the island (paid at the ferry's pier).
By Ferry
Most visitors arrive by ferry from Mersing on the mainland. Bluewater Express operates the ferry services and its boats are fast and comfortable taking approx 1 hour 20mins to the first jetty. This ferry is now the only option, the smaller and faster services being cancelled because of safety concerns after a tragedy. Unfortunately in countries that cannot afford to patrol their regulations well, some ferry companies overcrowd their vessels. If you ever feel uncomfortable boarding a vessel for any reason, refuse. A good way to avoid this is to avoid the last vessel as it is always the busiest. The boat is sometimes boarded by the Malaysian coast guard but it appears that the operators' are aware of when this will take place and take pains to follow the rules only on those days.
There are three services per day in each direction, but tidal issues (or lack of passengers) may cause cancellation. Bluewater Express charges RM 35 (RM 45 on public holiday) for an adult ticket, RM 25 for a child ticket (babies in arm free, as of last info), and departs from Salang at 07:15 am, Panuba at 7.30am etc etc and at noon, and picks up travellers all the way down the coast. It should be noted that apart from the first sailing of the day, the ferry operator tends to leave Mersing when it is deemed that there are sufficient passengers, or perhaps they are waiting for a connecting bus. This has the effect of making the timetables vague at best. If you are planning onward journeys based on these timetables, then leave sufficient buffers (1-2 Hours).
In Mersing, the main bus terminal is about 1000 metres up river from the ferry terminal. From the terminal face the river and go right. Follow through the commercial centre of Mersing, past the stadium to the ferry terminal. The bus may also drop you off at the corner where a conveniently located travel agent will attempt to sell you accommodation on the island. It may suit some to make a booking in the town before going to the island, others may prefer to take their chances and check out the offering on the island. In the instance where the afternoon ferry (4.30pm) is not running, one may have to stay in Mersing, which can be a fairly low expectation affair, depending on demand. Suggestion is to head straight to the ferry terminal, buy a ticket and worry about other matters later. If you are not heading for the island, boats are available for private boat charter, scuba dive, fishing & Islands Tour along Jalan Dato Onn, Mersing.
Some ferries also depart from Tanjung Gemuk to the north of Mersing.
During the monsoon season (late October to mid/late February) the ferries run much less frequently and exceptionally bad conditions may shut them down completely for several days at a time.
Since 2004, there are no direct ferries to/from Singapore's Tanah Merah ferry terminal available.
Please note, if you are coming from Johor Bahru with the bus of 2.30pm or later, there is a big chance to have no more ferry when you arrive and you will be force to take a night at Mersing. Enjoy it and take time for shopping as it will be more expensive on islands. Please note, most shops will be close in early morning (before 10am).
By plane
Tioman Airport (IATA: TOD, ICAO: WMBT), also known as Pulau Tioman Airport is located next to Tekek village (Kampung Tekek).
The sole commercial operator to the island's small airstrip near Tekek is Berjaya Air [5], which flies 48 seat Dash-7 turboprops from Kuala Lumpur (60 min; RM214 one-way; daily) and Singapore (35 min; RM240 / S$111 one-way; daily peak season, several times a week during the monsoon season). Discounted fares are available if booked online more than 3 days in advance, and may be available if booked in a package with accommodation.
Maximum baggage weight is 10 kg. Excess baggage charges seem to depend on how many passengers are on the flight.
The landing at Tekek involves a tight banking to avoid one mountain, a right-hand tight turn, then a relatively quick drop onto the airstrip which is at the base of Gunung Kajan, another mountain. Since the airstrip has been extended this is no longer the hairy procedure it once used to be. The flight from KL takes around 1 hr.
These flights use the secondary airports of Subang (IATA: SZB) in Kuala Lumpur and Changi Budget Terminal in Singapore (IATA: SIN), so factor in transfer time from KLIA/Changi when making your plans. As a general guide, allow 1 hr on the road to travel between KLIA and Subang.
No matter which way you choose to arrive, a marine park fee of RM5 should be levied on all visitors to the island. In practice, ferry passengers are not charged. Transfers can be arranged directly with resorts.
By Yacht
Tekek now boasts a recently built harbour with substantial wave break walls. The Tekek anchorage does not look like the nicest part of Tioman to hang about in, especially given the carefully chosen high intensity sky polluting orange lights installed in abundance. With any luck for all residents and visitors to the island the usual non-existant standards of maintenance will apply and these lights will fail over time.
NB: The map shown on this page has an incorrect scale shown; as an estimate, the distance between Kg Paya and Kg Bunut on the west coast is 1 kilometre.
Get around
Local transport is by bike, cars at Tekek, and by boat. A concrete road runs through Tekek, extending from the Berjaya resort in the south, past the airport, and to the northern end of Tekek village. There is a concrete path running the length of Air Batang area. Elsewhere there are almost no roads on Tioman. Cars may charge around RM20 for the short distance from the end of Tekek jetty/parks info office to the airport and up to RM120 for the biggest distance with a minimum of 2 or 4 passengers.
The rough concrete track was started by the Japanese in WWII and was re-opened several years ago. It follows the main electricty cable across to Juara. A 4 wheel drive vehicle is required. When you arrive you may be asked for up to RM175 to charter a whole vehicle to take you across, but be aware that the savvy tourist usually pays no more than RM100, and the local rate is RM80 (total per vehicle). It takes 45 min and is an interesting, steep and hairy ride.
By boat
By far the best and cheapest way of hopping from one village to the other is to use the Mersing/Tioman ferry service. On its way to and from Mersing it goes between Salang in the north and Genting in the south. The ferry will take you to most villages between from RM20 per person (for the Bluewater ferry) and is much cheaper than the private speedboat services. As of July 2011, the ferry operators do not appear to be charging for the island-hopping.
Speedboats charge from about RM20-60 for a single trip, depending on the destination. For example, a speedboat from Salang to Tekek will cost about RM 30, but a trip from Salang to Juara will cost about RM60-100. Although you can try to negotiate, they know full well that they're the only game in town (unless you hike). A single trip by boat as far as from the west coast to the east coast is RM150 and can be shared if there are more passengers. Expect to pay double at night.
By jeep
There are 4WD "taxis" from Tekek to Juara. They may ask for RM 75 (single person), RM 120 total (two persons) or RM 35 each (min. 4 persons).
Don't be forced into using those who tout directly outside the airstrip. Slow down to local pace and take your time over everything.
On foot
There are several jungle treks , following the power lines, which connect the Kampungs. Depending on your condition and preferences, it could be better to have walking/trekking shoes and long pant.
The local village is spread back from the little track which follows the line of the sea. People live all over the place normally in simple huts. The tourist huts and accommodation is within 20 m of high water mark.
Juara is a very quiet beach at the east coast especially in the off season, when almost nobody is there. There are three rivers coming from the mountains, delivering cold freshwater to the beach, a chilling alternative to swimming in the sea. A path leads to waterfalls in the jungle, which is nice for a swim and climb over the large rocks. To reach the waterfalls, just follow a marked path for about 30 min. The path starts at the south beach, next to the turtle breeding farm. Opposite of the great rocks, which lie on the beach. The path is marked by the bottoms of cans, nailed to the trees and painted yellow and red. At the beginning of the path there are three such signs at a tree. If you walk along the only concrete road towards south to the turtle breeding farm, you can not miss it.
The place itself is divided into two beaches that are separated by a small hill, which is said to be the "origin" of Tioman. Some locals say: "you have not been on Tioman, if you did not stand on these rocks".
Scuba facilities are readily available, and the diving is reasonably good, especially in view of the proximity to Singapore. Most villages have a variety of dive shops. Padi Open water courses average at about RM990 (4 day course), and for licensed divers each dive is roughly RM90).
Perhaps the most popular activity for visitors is snorkelling. Most resorts can arrange for speedboats or seabuses to take you to the beaches and small uninhabited islands nearby (such as Pulau Tulai, aka "Coral Island") and Renggis island where the snorkelling is at its best. The water is almost pristine save for the occasional litter. Just be careful of the small jellyfish, as they can pack a sting, and try not to lose your rental gear or you'll be subject to the renter's arbitrary fines. However, snorkelling is fantastic in front of most beaches and can rival that of any snorkelling trip at a fraction of the cost. However, do note that the beaches are home to several "Portugese Man of War". These prickly creatures tend to rest on rocks and if snorkelling in shallow waters, one should be especially careful of not coming in contact with these. They pack quite a sting and might require medical attention. Snorkellers who are squeamish about brushing against thick clouds of jellyfish in the water (as can happen in the May-September period) can try wearing a long-sleeved shirt or a rash guard when snorkelling. Alternately, you can rent a wetsuit from one of the dive shops if you're not comfortable with the jellies. You can rent snorkelling equipment for about 15RM/day (mask, scuba, fins). Some of the best locations are as follows.
For those who are surf junkies, Tioman receives swells up to 2 m from the South China Sea. However, they only come during the wet season which is from November to March and only hit the eastern side of the island.
Tioman is a duty free zone and offers a good selection of alcohol and cigarettes at very cheap prices. The main outlet is "vision duty free" (past the hospital and school) and at the airport. Other villages such as Paya and Salang have small outlets.
However, do note that in case you intend to purchase alcohol or cigarettes and carry them into neighbouring Singapore, then you would need to pay duty on these goods and hence the cost advantage vanishes. Refer to Singapore customs website on duty free allowances; the Singapore authorities can be pretty strict, always declare tobacco and alcohol to Singapore customs officials and be prepared to pay high duty or dispose of the items.
ATM is available at Tekek. From the wharf go left, the bank with the attached ATM is on the left of the road about 250 metres on.
Depending on where you eat, food can be quite expensive on Tioman, compared to other places in Malaysia. Western food can be up to RM15 per plate, whilst local food is cheap (between RM3-10 normally). Especially if you eat at the restaurants attached to the resorts and chalets, you should plan around RM 30+ per day (good breakfast, lunch and dinner).
The 1.5 l bottle of water costs RM4 (Dec 2010), some places offer refill with locally filtered water for RM1-2. Canned soft drinks are about RM 2.50, beer starts at RM2 (Tiger beer at local shop), but note that you cannot take/consume alcohol in some restaurants.
Village restaurant at Coral Reef Holidays the most Malay and western food also good view (by the beach)
There are several places to eat in Kampung Genting.
If you want nightlife and atmosphere, there are some bars between Tekek Village till ABC which serve everything from cheap beer to cocktails and most do bonfire nights on the beach on occasions.
While the most commercialized of Malaysia's east coast islands, Tioman has yet to be invaded by mass tourism on the scale of Penang or Langkawi and there are plenty of cheap beds to be found. However, if heading for anywhere other than the backpackers' villages, reservations are advisable as getting to some of the more remote kampungs can be a hassle. Note that some places stay open year round, but many close for the monsoon season (typically end of October to mid/late February).
Most of Tioman's backpacker accommodation is to the north of the island, with numerous budget chalet operations clustered around Salang and Air Batang (sometimes also referred to as ABC - although this is the name of the resort at the northern end of the beach, not the beach itself), and to a lesser extent Tekek. Dorm beds start about RM 20, single rooms (huts) around RM 40 and up. Amongst the most popular are:
Practically every kampung on the west coast of the island has a self-styled resort or two. A typical air-conditioned chalet will set you back in the vicinity of RM 100, although significant discounts can be negotiated in the off-season, in package deals or just by showing up and smiling. In off-season it is advisable to just show up and pick the best and cheapest spots. Genting resorts are largely owned and operated by friendly local fisherman families. For the support of the local community, you are likely to have a chance to pick the best fish at the beach in the evening and have it prepared by the women.
All rooms come with air-cond, water heater, in-house coffee-making and basic amenities. Impiana Inn also the first and the only tioman resort with hemodialysis facility. Impiana inn is an ideal place to relax and take in breathtaking sunsets every evening, the resort is lies on unrivaled natural and landscaped surroundings on the spectacular rain forest with an uncompromising standards of service.
Most, but not all, of Tioman has cellphone coverage. Celcom, DIGI and Maxis coverages are available but may be limited due geographical conditions. You can buy prepaid SIM cards from the shops at Tioman or at the airport. Malaysia Communication and Multimedia Commission's new regulation (MCMC/G/06/06 dated 5 June 2006) , prepaid registration is mandatory, expect a day or two for line activation.
Tioman advertises that it has a number of payphones that can be used upon purchasing a phonecard, and a lot of travellers buy the cards before realising that none of these phones work.If you want to call home, a lot of chalet complexes offer international call services at a price, otherwise consider using skype via the internet (call credit can be purchased online in order to call regular telephones thru skype).
Now, in Tioman, does not have television available without satellite except TV3, the only way is setting up a satellite. On Salang, the 4 S Cafe (which is in fact a bar) and the Salang Dreams Cafe both have cable TV. Ask nicely, and you might get the staff to change the channel - though watching TV is usually low on the list of things to do in Tioman.
Stay Safe
Theft is not generally an issue in private rooms. One thing to watch out for is coral cuts, which are bacteria-laden and turn septic very quickly if not treated in good time. Bring sterile wound wash and antiseptic cream for coral cuts; wash and treat them immediately to avoid a nasty infection.
Watch out for the triggerfish as well; these little pointy-nosed fish are very cute but they do get territorial and attack swimmers during their mating season. The monkeys can be quite feral, and have been known to attempt to force open windows and doors to look for food, thanks to irresponsible tourists who insist on feeding the monkeys.
Some young men (in their 20s) may invite female tourists to have drinks. If you're not interested, politely but firmly decline their offer.
