Forty Bends arch takes shape as works commence
20 October 2015
Works are underway on the $96 million arch-shaped crossing of Whites Creek at Forty Bends, with the soil walls at each end taking shape from today.
Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Infrastructure and Regional Development Warren Truss said the upgrade is part of the $250 million realignment of the Great Western Highway between Katoomba and Lithgow.
"This section of highway can be dangerous during poor weather and, in winter, the road has been often closed due to black ice," Mr Truss said.
"The realignment will see 2.5 kilometres of road upgraded to a three-lane divided highway, while twin bridges over Whites Creek will be constructed, significantly improving safety and reliability.
"The reliable supply of goods is important part to business operation. By improving the reliability of this road during even the coldest, wettest winters, we will improve the competitiveness of producers, businesses, the state and, indeed, the nation.
"Accidents cost the Australian economy around $27 billion a year. They have a devastating impact on families and local communities. Our investment is saving lives and improving national prosperity at the same time."
Federal Member for Calare John Cobb said residents of the area will have seen substantial changes to the crossing in recent times.
"It is great to see the new Whites Creek crossing at Forty Bends taking shape with 50 precast concrete arches, each weighing about 20 tonnes, being put in place," Mr Cobb said.
"The opening of the arch will allow the cold air to pass through rather than rising to the road surface, reducing the risk of black ice forming on the highway. It will also serve as a crossing for local fauna.
"Work on the reinforced soil walls and backfilling is expected to take about 12 weeks to complete. I'd like to thank motorists for their patience while these upgrades continue."
The Australian Government is fully funding this $96 million Forty Bends Upgrade. The Australian and New South Wales governments have provided $200 million and $50 million, respectively, towards the Great Western Highway upgrade.

A Colne mum is celebrating after her business teaching foreign languages to babies and children was nominated for a national award.
Kirsty Burrows (31) launched Bilinguasing East Lancashire last year after leaving her career as an international marketing manager to spend more time with her daughter Sophie (2).
The Spanish and French sessions, for children aged from four weeks to 10 years, have already proved extremely popular and run in Colne, Foulridge, Skipton, Langho and Whalley as well as at nurseries across East Lancashire.
Last year Bilinguasing scooped the Best New Activity for Children prize at the What's On 4 Little Ones Awards and now the company has been nominated in the Best National Pre-Schooler Development Activity (2-5 years).
The awards celebrate the best activities, classes and volunteers throughout the UK as nominated and voted for by parents.
Kirsty said: "I am delighted to have been nominated for the second year running. It is over a year now since I started my venture with Bilinguasing and last year we won a national award which was amazing.
"This year we have been nominated again which is great, we are really hoping that parents will get behind us and give us their vote."
Voting for the awards closes on May 11th.
Bilinguasing classes use music, song, sensory props, massage and movement to teach languages in a fun and relaxed environment.
Kirsty added: "Our little 'BilinguaSingers' pick up the new language so quickly and there are so many benefits for young children who are exposed to a second or third language early on. "I have done a lot of research and it is a fascinating and impressive subject.
"Babies and young children grow new brain cells to process the particular languages they are exposed to and bilingual children tend to have significantly larger density of grey matter, which is the part of the brain involved in muscle control, sensory perception such as seeing and hearing, memory, emotions and speech."

GMC's most popular guitar company (so it would seem) Anything But Traditional
The Beginnings The story of Ibanez guitars begins long ago in 1908 with the company Hoshino Gakki who was a producer of sheet music. In 1935 this company began manufacturing string instruments, mostly acoustics. This company had very little presence in the united states until the mid 1960's. They produced a guitar that was shipped to the states as early as 1929. This guitar was the Salvador Ibanez Acoustics which was produced in Japan. This workshop was destroyed during the Spanish civil war. Hoshino Gakki then bought the rights to the Ibanez brand name and began creating more standard acoustics which would later just be called Ibanez.
The Modern Era" The beginning of Ibanez as we know it begins in 1957. This is a time where the Hoshino Gakki company began coming out with some wild looking designs for guitars. It was at this time (around 1960) that Gibson and Fender and Rickenbacker compies were becoming popular. Using lower prices materials and building more guitars, Ibanez was able to offer cheap copies of these guitars that still held a high quality. These guitars were very popular and because these years were considered bad years for the original guitar companies the Ibanez copies were doing extremely well. Soon after this Ibanez was beginning to get sued by the original manufacturers and thus began the creation of Ibanez Originals starting with the Iceman and Roadster Models. From this time on Ibanez created its own guitars. It was in the mid 1980's that Ibanez really took off with its addition of the JEM! Due to Hoshino Gakki's relationship with Steve Vai the JEM soared and allowed for the entry of the Ibanez Universe guitars as well. In the early 1980's Ibanez entered the "superstrat" market with its RG line, which essentially were lower quality JEM's. It was also in the time frame that Ibanez began making its pedals and amps.
- Note: Ibanez was not actually an individual entity during all this time, Ibanez rather was a brand for Hoshino Gakki Company. Ibanez branded guitars were made and known simply as Ibanez but not owned by an Ibanez company*
Ibanez is primarily a guitar company but carries many other products. Electric Guitars, Basses, 7 strings, Acoustic Guitars, Effect Pedals and Amps are all manufactured under the Ibanez Brand.
Guitar Models
Ibanez RG series (previously named Roadstar Guitar, hence the name RG), are the Ibanez superstrat guitars, all featuring 24-fret slim necks. Most of the Ibanez RG models have bolt-on-necks with high-performing tremolos, although some are neck-thru or fixed bridge models. The first Ibanez RG was the 550 in 1987, which was the cheaper version of the Ibanez JEM, Steve Vai's signature model. It featured pretty much the same specifications except for the "Monkey Grip", the "Lion's Claw" below the tremolo, the Vine or Pyramid inlay and the DiMarzio pickups. Shape, colors, pickup configurations, and woods were pretty much the same. From 1987 to present the RG came out in hundreds different versions, some having different pickups and pickup configurations (HSH, HH, HSS, HS etc), some lacking the pickguard and some with different woods, tremolos, and colors. It is not clearly known how many versions have appeared since 1987. In 2003, Japanese-made RGs became the RG Prestige series, which featured an all-new neck construction (much more reliable now), a redesigned tremolo (Edge-Pro) and a 6-step special treatment to the fretboard for even more comfortable playing. It has the following subseries: RGT Prestige (neck-Thru) and the RGA Prestige

Morning all.
I'm after a SB6R ( though I do like SB8R's too ) to join my Ducati 916 Senna and Laverda 750 Formula.
Anyone got one for sale and can anyone give a rough price guide? Is about £6K about right for a tidy one?

6-7k ish should see you OK , but be careful on what you buy.
I would suggest to buy the best condition you can as not like a GSXR/CBR etc were you can pop down to the local breaker for a new panel .
I would also expect any decent potential seller to be willing to strip off panels etc to show things are as they should be and no damage .
It is also best to get as original as possible ( for future value , original always worth more than modified) , with the SB6R the original spec of the bikes was static compared to earlier models that could have subtle differences, therefore easier to check . Also make sure that if bits have been changed eg lighter wheels , that you get the original heavy antera's as well.

Thanks Vort.
Weirdly I popped into a local bike shop on Saturday I use to have some tyres taken off some spare wheels and outside was a SB6. Just imported and in for MOT.
Local import/rare bike home dealer bloke. Wanted £10k for it before it goes to Coys auction.
Another one I know about-a SB6R wants £6k and it looks tidy.
Bespoke-I'll message you.

10K !!!! WOW , that has got to be a first for an SB6 !!!! Not that I think it is unreasonable.
People are willing to pay 4-6K for a GSXR1100 , which should really make the SB6 worth 8-10k , but sably when it comes to Bimota's the pricing does not seem to work like that.

I've seen GSXR1100's for sale for a lot more than I paid for my SB6R and the prices are set to rise as Practical Sportsbikes have done a huge spread on them.

Strange isn't it ??
Think one of the problems is the rarity of Bimota's. If people see 10 GXSR1100's for sale at 6k , then they accept that is the norm, so one at 5k is a bargain and people fight over it.
If they see 1 SB6 for 8k they just think they are expensive , which is a shame as the sb6 is a great bike and well worth the difference.
Be interesting to see what that one goes for at the auction.

Tis always the way......maybe there were 20-30,000 owners of GSX1100's in the day.....and if just one percent want to relive that memory today then theres 2-300 people wanting the "survivors".....theres never that many after a Bimota as they didnt own one in "their day".
It all about what they used to have and/or wanted but missed out on...Bimotas are always outside of most peoples thoughts.........Superlight Ducati 900SS have been fetching up to 7,000 at Dealers like MIIMC.....which is now reaching its original retail price.....Unlike DB2's which were 14,000 new in the day....and arent reaching that price

Post subject: SB6R/GSXR
You're absolutely right Chuckie. There was no love for the water cooled GSXR, which was a very heavy and unwieldy behemoth. I think both Suzuki and to a lesser extent Bimota, worked on the basis that the motor was such a powerhouse that they didn't need to worry how much baggage it was having to carry. At least with the 6r you can put the lad on a diet, but the Gixxer is just big-boned.
What, Jonny's gone!

Utility monopoly
Several years ago we had occasion to spend four months in Houston, where we sublet a condo.
Before moving in, the Realtor handed us a list of power companies to choose from. I was astounded. Coming from Florida, I didn't know such a thing was possible. I always thought there was one power company, and that was that.
But we were able to contract an electric service based on recommendations for service, price and reliability — factors that have no relevance to a monopoly.
At the very least, if we are going to have a monopoly we should not allow it to contribute to political campaigns, and essentially set our power policy, or spend our payments on ad campaigns for a product that we have no choice but to buy.

CFA: Christian Jungersen & Megan Abbott

|Photo Credit: Iben Mondrup (Jungersen) and Drew Reilly (Abbott)
Christian Jungersen and Megan Abbott read from and discussed their latest books, You Disappear (Jungersen) and The Fever (Abbott).
About You Disappear
Mia's happy marriage is shattered when a brain tumor begins to change her husband's personality beyond recognition. As Frederik becomes ever more a stranger before her eyes, the revelation that he has used his position as headmaster to mbezzle millions from his school's treasury turns Mia's private crisis into one that involves the community. But this disgraceful crime could become Mia's salvation: working with a defense lawyer to build Frederik's case, they wrestle with the latest brain research, the question of free will—and their growing attraction to each other.
Christian Jungersen's first novel Thickets won the Best First Novel award in Denmark in 1999 and also became a bestseller; The Exception is his second novel, his first to be translated into English. He has recently taken up residence in Dublin, Ireland but returns frequently to Copenhagen.
About The Fever
The panic unleashed by a mysterious contagion threatens the bonds of family and community in a seemingly idyllic suburban community.
The Nash family is close-knit. Tom is a popular teacher, father of two teens: Eli, a hockey star and girl magnet, and his sister Deenie, a diligent student. Their seeming stability, however, is thrown into chaos when Deenie's best friend is struck by a terrifying, unexplained seizure in class. Rumors of a hazardous outbreak spread through the family, school and community.
As hysteria and contagion swell, a series of tightly held secrets emerges, threatening to unravel friendships, families and the town's fragile idea of security.
A chilling story about guilt, family secrets and the lethal power of desire, The Fever affirms Megan Abbott's reputation as "one of the most exciting and original voices of her generation."*
*Laura Lippman
Megan Abbott is the Edgar award-winning author of the novels The End of Everything, Queenpin, The Song Is You, Die A Little, Bury Me Deep, and her latest, Dare Me. Her writing has appeared in the New York Times, Salon, the Los Angeles Times Magazine, The Believer, Los Angeles Review of Books, The Guardian and Best Crime and Mystery Stories of the Year.

Pro Evolution Soccer Review
As Konami celebrates 20 years of PES we are treated to its finest, most in-depth version yet across all formats that you could own.
Find out how the PS4 and XboxOne versions compare and how the game plays, feels and if it can take the crown from FIFA as the ultimate representation of the beautiful game.
Fox engine games are much like buses it seems, you wait ages for one and then 2 come along at once. After the delight and as expected slightly controversial Metal Gear Solid 5 from Kojima Productions we now get a look at how the engine can be used elsewhere in new game types and less extravagant story lines. And with PES2016 it is a game that benefits greatly from its super-fast and fluid 60fps update, here I will only cover the XboxOne edition along with the full game review from the PlayStation 4 but all features, gameplay and essentially everything else are identical across both. I have not had chance to play or even see the PC release yet but I would imagine a pretty much identical game and visuals would be presented on that with extra options as per MGSV. It is and will most likely never be a game that will ask for high end power levels or indeed even require it.
Both platforms aim for the same locked 60fps update that covers all sections of the game from its matches and TV style replays and slow motion shots and not the 60/30 split that FIFA uses. The same split in resolution is in play here with the PS4 sporting a fully native 1920x1080 display matched with the same FXAA pass ala phantom pain, the XboxOne comes in with the lower resolution of 1360x1080 which is just a different way to use a roughly similar amount of pixels as Metal Gears 1600x900 bar a few thousand more pixels here and is thanks to the work on the engine to maximise its Esram usage and help handle the multiple buffers and therefore Scratchpads needed to deliver the visuals from its deferred rendering pipeline. This mostly presents itself reasonably well as the upscale is only one way, horizontally on the screen and other than a side by side comparison is not a game that strikes you as running a sub native display in play, some of this comes from the native PS4 still suffering from some heavy pixel shimmer on crowds, posts and in the Depth of Field effects within cinematics. But whenever these arise on the PS4 they are much more obvious on the XboxOne version and more so in the slow motion replays being the place you can spot the difference the most, the only other difference is the crowd resolution can look Lower on XboxOne at times but may be a symptom of the real-time replays as getting a like for like example of these is near impossible in play but this only shows in close up shots, aside this the entire visual features are intact on both, even down to the same and common split engine update process with crowds at points updating at half the framerate as the actual gameplay but this would only really be picked up in this kind of in-depth analysis.
This means you are treated to the same linear lighting model and Physically Based shading model on the areas, kit and players. But this is where the visuals start to lose some of their impact or at least are not treated to the same asset quality across the board. Some of the modelled players are pretty good with strong impressions on detail and likeness. Some are much, much better than others though with clear divides between the good and bad. Some of the issues with the features come down to its heavy reliance on Normal Maps to add detail rather than having high geometry models, this shows quite obviously in the shirt and kits with the engine not having a cloth simulation but rather using marvellous designer 2 to effectively pre-render the cloth wrinkles and style and then in game like the switching of normals to alter these, it flicks between LODS to emulate the movement and wrinkles, in gameplay it is hard to spot and generally looks great but with the game having such large close-ups and slow option replays this technique can stand out and with the switch plain to see as the players move.
Stadiums and less significant areas of the game also show some lack of polish seen on the players and kits. The walk in leaves you thinking at times this is still a cross-gen up-ported with much of the texture work looking very flat and some areas having incredibly low resolution maps used. Also it can look like it is not running the correct PBR shader passes (see complete) the DoF does hide this though which includes a nice bokeh at times but others in-game can be the same lower quality Gaussian blur, but although the game is very nice and the silky smooth framerate helps, it still stands in the shadow of FIFA when it comes to character models, fine detail at points and overall presentation. The pre-game anthem has only a few set animation routines that runs for each team/player and after just a few games it stands out and you skip, although FIFA is also guilty of this. Commentary has the same issues with not a vast wealth of variation in recordings and some robotic linking of names within play. But it is much better than before and within the licensed UEFA championship games with all relevant TV style, music and crane camera replays it really excels and captures the feel of the game very, very well. Intro for big games, weather and set-up all deliver a decent variation as the build-up begins.
But the commentary team do a good job and most purists will turn that off on both games anyway and just strive to get straight into the kick-off. Which at the performance levels here is another rock solid showing from the engine on both platforms, both in match and in reply the framerate never dips below its aim of 60 and some of the shortcomings in the visuals pave way to machines that are not stressed in hitting its performance targets, which is the single biggest factor in a game like this as it needs fine control and pinpoint accuracy at times which is always consistent and delivered with its stable 60hz rate as expected. The only dips you see here are the long still shots to mimic the TV style replay as the transitions graphics pass over or a dip of 1 maybe 2 frames as scenes load in from each other but these would never be noticed in play and effect nothing at all of the enjoyment. When in play across both platforms we see a rock solid dip less 60 even using the more stressful and closer 3rd person views allowing you to get right into the action it matters not a jot, a great showing again for the engine.
The controls are different to FIFA players, it carries far more physical weight in its player movement and ball physics, controlling the ball and keeping it at your feet is harder and takes more finesse than its rival title. Again shots and passing allows more fine control as you hoof long balls you can curve the ball after you have sent it air born, like all actions in the game it needs time with pass strength, team runs, through balls and shots all having much finer control options making it harder to master but more satisfying when you do. But if you are new the game it has a standard a training section to teach you all the basics so that you go from not being able to hit a bus from 20 yards to smacking Bulls eyes and dropping balls in from the centre half in no time, cheeky cross bar dippers are also on the cards. And here the game starts to work and captures the feeling of the game incredibly well and better than previous releases, players move, look and trip with much more realism and mistakes are made and feel organic when they do, the ball physics play a large part in this and some heated and enjoyable games can and do happen regularly. Collison in the game is a high point with slides, barges and trips all feeling realistic and accurate, Air Play has been upgraded this year allowing you to unbalance other even bigger players using the stick. Actions are now faster and more responsive allowing feints, fast switches and megs'ing players becomes second nature with this fine grain control, pushing on the right stick allows you to tell a player to make a run, with a well-timed through pull or high drop in cross giving way to some great play that can look just as good to watch as play, well at least when someone better than me is playing anyway. As when playing as the god that is Messi you have to try some of his dribbling skills, which unfortunately fail more often than not for me but a fault of the player not the game.
All of this natural movement comes from its improved animation system (Konami boast 3xtimes the animation sets ) which adds a much greater repertoire of pushes, shimmies, falls and play along with the de rigour of player gesticulation at referee's, other players and the crowds from a selection of victory celebrations without forgetting the epic fingertip saves. With the full UEFA championship playable along with its presentation, fonts and music it certain delivers an authentic experience of the game well. Which only improves with a group of players either on the same consoles or online allowing many hours to just dwindle away. The procedural animation system in the game is really superb, watching replays or even close-up shots does really show off its epic detail of human movement. Mixing motion capture into kinematics at a level far in excess needed of other non-sport games, the way players lean into a run or the feet and ankles twist as they dig in. With all the great extra touches of players pointing as you play to receive a pass, or on runs looking up and across the pitch for space or a receiver. Even celebrations all look convincing and aside some heavy clipping in parts that effects both big games equally it really does deliver very accurate and convincing movement, weight and physics from the ball that immerse you fully in the game. Some of the great replay shots from cracking goals you just scored allow you to revel in your glory or claim pure luck if not your own handy work.
Team and leagues are all close enough to recognise which and who you are playing for, Some pop up like ManUtd, Barcelona and inter Milan that have their own licence plan but aside a real need for actual teams most of the players all look accurate, the option to download kits and import is still an option also, a faf but could help some make that mental shift if needed. A good selection of stadiums are available to choose from and these have various times of day and weather also. This is where the game can change between looking good and looking great, with the sunny days in open stadiums probably is strongest area aside the spotlight night games that can be very convincing at times. Rain looks ok with a rain drop effect on camera with a simple distortion but it adds to the gameplay more with players more likely to slip while running or turning and missing shots with turf and water kicking up but even here the game still has some areas of clipping and collision that can ruin the presentation slightly, but not as much as the clipping within the frustum which can cause objects and even players to just appear and disappear a weakness of the deferred only rendering as transparency's are not viable, This stands out more in the replays of what is otherwise a lovely looking presentation. Camera views are also plentiful from long crowd view to close up TV shots which replicate the action perfectly and where the games looks its best, even first person view can be used and allows you to play in the style and view that suits you best, all of this does not affect the games solid performance at all which is key.
It also has the hard-core taken care of with a full range of Pro Evolutions versions of FIFA's manager in Master League, be the player and full career modes taken care of. The amount of choice with full coaching options, scouts, managing contracts, transfer season battles, player morale, fitness and training all included within its vast selection of game modes. Added to with the aforementioned UEFA league and cup games really delivers it's most authentic and accurate display yet of the big game. Up against FIFA it has reduced the gap on its presentation and animation is now much, much closer than before to the point where between the 2 they deliver a very equal performance but the locked 60 throughout PES2016 in both gameplay and replays helps it here. And again in the master league management mode it exceeds FIFA IMOP enabling the entire balance of teams and people to alter your teams cohesion, you have to make players fit in, manage introduction games, traits and not just the best player stats it genuinely is a step up from previous games and very well implemented. But where the game still needs work and loses out is within its assets and detail variation. Some pitches use very, very low resolution textures which also seem to run no filtering at all which stands out a mile within a football game, more so when other pitches have much better textures and grass with filtering. The pre-game sections highlight this best with last generation textures on signs and billboards really lowering what is very high standards elsewhere and with the game shipping across last gen and this gen it still shows that Konami need to get some much higher quality assets for all areas of the game and reduce the gap to its rivals and more importantly it's consistency within itself. Some heavy shadow aliasing and these weaker areas can reduce what is genuinely a strong and high quality showing.
The football is not as immediately satisfying and some would say not as easy as FIFA but it can be as rewarding or even more so and along with its rock solid and required performance that is appreciated it never allows this to hamper your enjoyment. I have had enough games online to test its performance most quick matches I have played have been quick to start and not laggy at all allowing them to play and feel very close to local games. Other more managed games can take longer to set-up and the login to Konami servers like EA serves can slow down single player games at times but you can opt out of auto sign-in which speeds this up. The only issue of on-line games is rage quits from opposing players that can leave you playing no-one for a few minutes before it disconnects but again not exclusive to either football games or online gaming at large, luckily these are few. With this now being the last bastion of Konami's AAA multi-platform games it has delivered its best and most comprehensive Pro-Evo yet that may convert even more over from the other side, with its next release hopefully dropping its last gen versions I feel if they concentrate on bringing up the visual presentation to match the level of its peers in that regard, now that it has many real players if not the team names is the only area where it can lose its shine on an otherwise solid, exhaustive, responsive and above all else highly enjoyable game that will keep hard-core football players well invested before the next release ships in 2016. With it now in a position to be titled arguably the greatest digital version of the beautiful game.

The car alarm in my car has some kind of a flaw as it goes off for no apparent reason. Also, the keyless entry malfunctions sometimes. There is obviously an electrical problem with the car. In addition to this, the "G" error code keeps appearing during diagnostics. What might be causing these problems and what does the code indicate?
Hey there, thanks for writing in about your 2007 Mercedes Benz E550. The car alarm in many of the later model Mercedes vehicles has it's own set of small batteries. When these batteries go bad, they will automatically set off the alarm once the alarm is set as the vehicle thinks it is being stolen or moved. I would recommend checking this first, as it is an easy inexpensive fix. As to the G error code, you will need more information to diagnose this. There are typically a series of numbers that go along with this code. If you need help having this checked, a qualified expert from YourMechanic can inspect the vehicle for electrical issues and let you know what needs repair.

Filmart: Can Japan Make Anime Great Again?
With box-office phenomenon 'Your Name' leading the way, Japanese animation is on a roll, but to survive the country's aging demographics, it must attract more young artists and truly cross over globally.
The buzz surrounding Japan's animation sector has been hard to miss lately. The industry just landed its biggest hit ever with the $330 million global box office of Makoto Shinkai's Your Name, the Scarlett Johansson-starring live-action Hollywood take on Ghost in the Shell has generated more anticipation than any previous adaptation before it hits theaters next month, and anime TV series' overseas sales are booming thanks to VOD platforms and growing demand from China. Meanwhile, there are rumors that anime master Hayao Miyazaki is returning for one last feature.
Despite recent successes, all is not well in the land of anime: TV series continue to lose money on their domestic broadcasts, while low wages for junior artists are causing a dearth of animators entering the industry. As Japan's population continues to fall, anime needs to take its success in the global market to the next level. But without fresh talent that simply won't happen.
According to figures from industry group the Association of Japanese Animations (AJA), revenue for the entire sector grew 12 percent to $16 billion in 2015, with sales of streaming rights to China jumping 79 percent, and likely grew again last year. (As many Japanese companies run their financial year to the end of March, figures for 2016 aren't available yet). To put that $16 billion into perspective, the entire theatrical box office in Japan last year was $2.1 billion, a record, and one boosted considerably by the $220 million domestic take of Your Name.
The huge success of Shinkai's teenage body-swapping tale has certainly boosted interest in all things anime. A sales rep for a major Japanese entertainment company says that at recent international content markets they were inundated with questions about anime features, even ones they weren't selling, by buyers looking for the next Your Name. However, Haruka Kasai, from the international sales and licensing department of major studio Toei Animation, says Your Name was "a special case" and isn't making a significant difference to the market. Genki Kawamura, the Toho hit-making producer behind Your Name, also doesn't believe its rising tide will lift all boats.
"It's definitely a good time for anime. Until recently, apart from Studio Ghibli films, there weren't many really big anime hits, but now there a lot of talented creators producing good stories. But even in a period like this, only good-quality films will be successful," Kawamura tells THR.
Nevertheless, six of 2016's box office top 10 were anime. While Your Name was the undisputed box-office king, it was beaten to the best animation gong at this month's Japan Academy Prize awards by In This Corner of the World (Kono Sekai no Katasumi ni). Directed and co-written by Sunao Katabuchi, and without a major studio behind it, the story of wartime Hiroshima and the atomic bombing was partly crowd-funded and made for little more than $2 million. Resonating with a much older audience demographic — though an increasingly important one in graying Japan — than most anime, it took $20 million domestically and has secured a wide global release, including in the U.S. through Shout Factory.
Japan's rapidly aging and slowly shrinking population means the anime industry has little option but to focus more on the global market, something it has done with mixed results in the past. The collapse of the global DVD market — once its biggest overseas revenue stream — has hit anime hard. But the rise of VOD platforms like Netflix and Amazon is bringing new opportunities.
Members of anime's often obsessive global fan base often translate and subtitle Japanese releases, uploading pirated versions for free online, cutting into DVD sales and potential revenue from theatrical releases. The animation studios and distributors have responded by bringing forward overseas release dates for both the big and small screen.
Ko Mori, who runs Eleven Arts, an L.A.-based distributor of Japanese films, says that the change has helped boost the U.S. anime market over the last couple of years.
"Although it is a very niche market, more titles are getting released theatrically, which is being helped by shorter delays for titles reaching the U.S. after the Japanese release date," says Mori. "We don't want to release anime films in the U.S. after the Japanese DVD or VOD release, because of piracy." Eleven Arts released Sword Art Online The Movie: Ordinal Scale on Mar. 9 in the U.S., about three weeks after it opened at No. 1 in Japan with $3.7 million in its first two days, despite only being on about 150 screens. The U.S. release is on around 600 screens, approximately double the number for recent big anime titles handled by Eleven Arts.
The most important market for anime remains East Asia, but it's less than two years since Japanese films returned to Chinese theaters, following a three-year hiatus due to a territorial row over a group of disputed islands. The return of Japanese content was spearheaded by the theatrical release in the summer of 2015 of Stand by Me Doraemon, which went on to take more than $80 million, beating its box office in its home market. That was the best performance ever for a Japanese film in China, only to be topped at the end of last year by Your Name.
Ironically enough, geopolitical tensions may now give a further boost to anime, since China has (unofficially) banned programs and films featuring performers from South Korea. The row over the government in Seoul's announcement that it would deploy the U.S.-made THAAD missile defense system has created a vacuum where popular Korean content once was.
"Because they can't broadcast programs from South Korea now, Chinese buyers are looking for more content from Japan," says Toei Animation's Kasai. Joseph Chou, anime and film producer, as well as president of Sola Digital Arts studio in Japan, points out that China's row with South Korea was "totally unexpected," but that a similar blow up could happen again with Japan.
Hedging against that political risk is one of the factors driving Chinese companies to work on more co-productions with Japanese anime studios. Japan's DandeLion Animation Studio and China's leading drone company Da-Jiang Innovations Science and Technology this month announced a tie-up for RoboMasters: The Animated Series. The six-episode show will be based on a real robot battle tournament featuring teams from around 200 schools in China. The project took two years to come to fruition and is slated to be broadcast first in China, according to DandeLion.
But while the appetite for anime is high in China, buyers have recently become more discerning, according to Toei Animation's Kasai, who says "in the past they would buy nearly anything if it was Japanese anime."
Producer and studio president Chou says that while the influx of capital and demand from China is creating something of a boom, the money is not trickling down to the anime creators and artists, with serious potential ramifications for the industry's future. "If you're looking for content in the anime pipeline, there's often nothing till 2018, 2019 or even 2020; a lot of it is already spoken for. If there is no market downturn, that is going to become a problem," suggested Chou.
According to the Japanese Animation Creators Association, an industry union, a key animator in their mid-30s earns an average of $24,500 annually, while their young assistants have to get by on $9,750.
Those numbers don't reflect the true situation, according to Naoki Ishikawa of the AJA, which represents the studios. "The truth is that there are a lot of anime artists making 5 to 10 million yen [$43,500 to $87,000]. The people making that kind of money definitely don't talk about it, but those not making much money do talk about it. So everyone thinks all the wages are so low," says Ishikawa. Average wages are not generous, concedes Ishikawa, who says that the peculiar business model for domestic TV series broadcasts, the mainstay of the industry, is to blame.
"For anime TV series, the productions are all basically still in the red when they are broadcast. They only begin to make money if fans who watch the series then buy merchandise," explains Ishikawa. As if that weren't bad enough, all of the commercials that run during TV anime broadcasts in Japan are from the companies that made them. "So there's effectively no revenue from TV broadcasts and no drivers to increase revenue from them," says Ishikawa. "If the related merchandise doesn't sell, then they run at a loss."
In fact, the industry makes twice as much money licensing its characters for pachinko — a Japanese gambling game — than from TV and theatrical box office combined, and double that again from merchandising. "The successful studios are swimming in offers, but smaller ones, with just one pipeline are suffering because of HR resources; it's becoming very difficult for smaller studios to get artists," says Chou.
Compounding the problem is a lack of young talent, a challenge that once again points to Japan's graying population. Adds Chou: "A lot of the really good guys are in their 40s, 50s or even 60s, but there are not that many of them left."

Pine Grove, California Engagement Session
Destination of 2012 Wedding: Union Hill Inn, Sonora, ,Ca.
Here are a few Amador County sneak peeks from yesterday's rustic engagement session with Randy and Lisa. I traveled up the street to Lisa's parent's property in Pine Grove. The whole family got involved, which was unique, because it doesn't happen very often. Beautiful scenic views everywhere, which is why I love these charming small towns which encompass the Motherlode area. Randy and Lisa are getting married in Sonora, California and the Union Hill Inn. I had a fun time getting to know them (and their family). Cheers to the future of this happy couple.

Many high-ranking Canadian military officials were also there to meet the event's sponsors and show support for both the Wounded Warriors Foundation and our soldiers.
"Bruce Power and the Project Management and Construction division understand the importance of supporting military families, who have needs due to conditions of their service to our country," said John Sauger, Bruce Power Executive Vice President, PMC.

No. 16 UW Tops No. 9 Cougars, 26-14
Nov 17, 2001
By JANIE McCAULEY
AP Sports Writer
SEATTLE - It took less than three minutes for Cody Pickett to realizehe had something special in Reggie Williams on Saturday.
By the end of No. 16 Washington's 26-14 victory over No. 9 Washington Statein the Apple Cup, Pickett had thrown for 371 yards and the freshman receiverhad 11 catches for 203 yards.
After completing a 58-yard pass to Williams early in the first quarter,Pickett didn't have much advice for his top target.
'I told him to keep running his routes hard, and he did,' Pickett said.
Only seven days earlier, the Huskies (8-2, 6-2 Pac-10) felt like nothingwent right in a 49-24 loss to Oregon State. It was Washington State's turn forone of those frustrating days.
The Pac-10's turnaround team couldn't keep it up through the game thatmattered most.
The Cougars (9-2, 6-2) had first-and-goal three times and couldn't score.They committed four turnovers and couldn't count on the players they have allseason: quarterback Jason Gesser, running back Dave Minnich, receiver NakoaMcElrath, and their secondary.
'We played below our standards and we didn't win,' Gesser said.
VIDEO: Washington's Reggie Williams sets up a TD on the next play when out-jumps the defender for a 26-yard catch.
VIDEO: Mike Bush pulls down Jason Gesser's pass in the end zone for a 15-yard TD.
VIDEO: Jerramy Stevens pulls down the Cody Pickett seven-yard TD pass.
VIDEO: The Husky defense stops the Cougar offense on three separate occasions inside the 10-yard line.
It cost them a chance at a share of the Pac-10 title and a top-tier bowlgame. Instead the Cougars likely will be playing in the Sun Bowl on Dec. 31.With Washington State's loss, No. 7 Oregon clinches at least a tie for theconference championship and the Pac-10's Bowl Championship Series berth.
The Huskies probably will be invited to the Holiday Bowl on Dec. 28 in SanDiego. They scored their final 17 points after three Washington Stateturnovers.
'It is real tough to take,' Cougars coach Mike Price said. 'We did thingsthat we normally hadn't done in the other nine games this year.'
Washington's defense held Minnich to 32 yards on 15 carries. McElrath didn'tmake his first catch until about three minutes into the third period.
Greg Carothers forced two fumbles in the third quarter, including one byGesser 6 yards from the end zone that was recovered by teammate Ben Mahdavi.
That wasn't the only time Washington State couldn't convert close to thegoal line.
Minnich was stopped on fourth down at the 1 in the first quarter.
'There's absolutely nothing better than that,' Mahdavi said of thegoal-line stop. 'In every sport there's a scenario you dream about. If you'rea linebacker, you want to meet the guy in mid-air and stop him on a goal-linestand.'
Minnich also threw an interception to Roc Alexander on a halfback optionplay in the third quarter with the Cougars at the 13.
Williams came to Washington touted as a big-game receiver, and he keepsshowing it.
After Mahdavi tackled Minnich on fourth down, the Huskies drove 99 yards fortheir first touchdown, a 1-yard run by Rich Alexis. Williams caught passes of21, 12 and 26 yards in the drive and drew a pass-interference penalty.
'I've been watching this game most of my life,' said Williams, who grew upin nearby Tacoma. 'I was ready to come in and have a big impact.'
John Anderson kicked field goals of 29 and 35 yards in the final 9 secondsof the first half after missing a try from 36 yards.
After the 29-yarder, Washington's Zach Tuiasosopo stripped Jason David onthe ensuing kickoff and the Huskies recovered at the 18 with a second left.Anderson's second field goal sent Washington into halftime with a 13-7 lead.
Gesser, who did not play in last year's 51-3 loss because of a broken bonein his left leg, completed 22 of 34 passes for 227 yards and two touchdowns.Many of those yards came after the game had been decided.
Washington State scored on a 15-yard pass from Gesser to Mike Bush to tiethe game at 7 in the second quarter. It was set up by one of the Cougars' twoblocked punts.
The 94th meeting in this fierce cross-state rivalry marked only the fifthtime both teams came into the game ranked. The last time was in 1997,Washington State's Rose Bowl season.
All week, Neuheisel talked about how a win Saturday would save the Huskies'season. Now they get to face No. 1 Miami next week in a game rescheduled afterthe Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.
'You didn't come here because you want to hide out,' he said. 'You camehere because you want to be the last band on the stage.'
Representatives of the Fiesta, Holiday, Sun and Seattle bowls attended thegame.
The Huskies received a 10-yard delay of game penalty before the firstkickoff because the bands from both schools ran 3{ minutes too long with theirpregame show.

For the record, I don't really even like marshmallows all that much. They're too sweet. Yep, I'm one of those people. However, holy cow - they're amazing. Like, I might never buy marshmallows again.
Here's the recipe I followed:
Homemade Marshmallows:nocoupons
- 3 packages unflavored gelatin
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 1 cup light corn syrup
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
- Confectioners' sugar, for dusting
Combine the gelatin and 1/2 cup of cold water in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment and allow to sit while you make the syrup.
Meanwhile, combine the sugar, corn syrup, salt, and 1/2 cup water in a small saucepan and cook over medium heat until the sugar dissolves. Raise the heat to high and cook until the syrup reaches 240 degrees F on a candy thermometer. Remove from the heat.
With the mixer on low speed, slowly pour the sugar syrup into the dissolved gelatin. Put the mixer on high speed and whip until the mixture is very thick, about 15 minutes. Add the vanilla and mix thoroughly.
Turn the marshmallows onto a board and cut them in squares. dust them with more confectioners' sugar.
Yield: 20 to 40 marshmallows, depending on cut size
For your viewing pleasure I present:
Five Little Frogs by Guthrie after a boatload of sugar and caffeine late at night.

One arrogant posh girl
Today The Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority (IPSA) has said it will investigate expenses claims submitted by MP Nadine Dorries.
A statement on IPSA's website says; "The Compliance Officer for the Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority has reason to believe that Ms Nadine Dorries MP may have been paid an amount under the MPs' Scheme of Business Costs and Expenses that should not have been allowed".
You may remember the publicity seeking MP from last years appearance on I'm a Celebrity in Australia, which she took time off from her parliamentary duties. Or perhaps you may remember when she described David Cameron and George Osborne as "two arrogant posh boys" with "no passion to want to understand the lives of others" back in April 2012.
It just happens that a page has mysteriously been deleted from Nadine Dorries' blog today.
The page has been automatically archived by the way back when machine website, which reveals the deleted page is a post where Nadine gives her thoughts on the loss of her IPSA handbook, where she wrote;
"In walked a gust of wind. It lifted my idiots guide to IPSA right up from my desk and into the air. It took it all the way across the room up and out of the balcony doors straight onto the Atrium roof – where I can't reach it. And there I think it shall stay."
We're sure the two things happening on the same day are purely a coincidence, but you can't just put the Internet into a shredder.
If you have a story you think we would be interested in please email:

Spirit Animals
So I have been taking my time with posting spirit animals. Waiting till I encountered the creature so I may present an experience instead of a description. These creatures sneak past our conscious eyes everyday taking the message with them. When you take a look at the creatures in your life you will see some lessons to be learned from them. Something as simple as moving into a new house with chicken next door. Hidden meaning alert! Google the animal next time!

[dropcap]Agent[/dropcap] Side Grinder released a really strong record earlier this year—Alkimia, their fifth album, marks a change in the band's musical direction. Starting off as an experimental outfit with their self-titled debut album in 2008, the band made some shy, yet undeniable steps towards a more accessible, sometimes even catchy and pop driven sound with 2012's Hardware – and their pop drive was even more clear after the release of Alkimia, with This Is Us as a first single. I do not think that it's only me who was slightly bewildered by the band's new style – a band that created bulky EBM-like tracks like Look Within or off kilter synth tracks like Mag 7 now prefers chord shifts to frequency shifts? Apparently a good idea after all, though as Alkimia needed to grow on me, displaying all it's shining glory on a later date. It is quite rare that I say that I was completely mistaken about an album in the first place, but the shift from "What the fuck?" to "Fuck, that's amazing" within a few spins can definitely happen. So I was looking forward to the band's show at Urban Spree on October 16, once again, presented by DEATH # DISCO, who brought the five-piece to Berlin on various occasions before.
But before Agent Side Grinder started, a band that I was already fond of opened the night—the Italian Darkwavers Ash Code started the night with melancholic, onward driving songs heavily influenced by 80s Electro Wave, notably Clan of Xymox on their creative peak, or The Frozen Autumn. Yet, they do not just rely on the effects synth pads can have on human emotions (hint – it's bleak), but give away some punchiness that makes them a very pleasant live band – Tracks like Dry Your Eyes, that can easily be considered their breakthrough hit, Crucified, Waves With No Shores or Unneccesary Songs are party fodder, while Void or Oblivion contrast the BPM driven body hammers with calm, melancholic counterparts – A set that's been excellently rounded up by a cover of The Sound's anthem I Can't Escape Myself, a song I considered as uncoverable before seeing Ash Code live. Nearly exactly one year after the release of their excellent debut album Oblivion, the band, certainly well deserved, gathered new fans that wait with me for a certainly excellent second album.
But despite Ash Code's undeniable qualities as a live act – Agent Side Grinder easily were the cherry on the cake of an excellent night. As mentioned previously, Alkimia wasn't really my favourite album of ASG before giving it a few more spins. But this album is like a long-lasting relationship – knowing each other for a long time before actually getting to something serious. And despite being a fan of their experimental efforts I could not really resist the glory of tracks like Giants Fall, This Is Us or New Dance for long. Bridging the gap between a distinctly 80s influenced sound, some Post Punk weirdness and a modern production, the band transmutes those, admittedly, dated but well beloved influences into something that does not sound dated at all – making Agent Side Grinder a standout act among a pack of Swedish acts that gained some attention in this decade. Principe Valiente, The Exploding Boy or The Mary Onettes, to name three of them, are amazing bands, for sure, but Agent Side Grinder's very unique and modern approach on 80s sound makes them the best of the pack.
Another thing that differs them from many other live bands is the crooner quality of singer Kristoffer Grip. You rarely see some elderly goths follow instructions that usually are more common at big arena gigs ("Raise your hands for Agent Side Grinder!"), but having an audience under control like this is an amazing quality that is way too rare in the underground scenes, and for sure, that is something that will make the Swedish five-piece cross the border from an underground act to something that can actually grow into something that fills big venues. The band certainly deserved it after playing small clubs throughout their career; they already have a big back catalogue of tracks that are, to the very least, underground club smashers (Stranger Stranger, Life In Advance, Wolf Hour, basically the whole Alkimia album…) and they managed to leave me unsatisfied after a more than one hour long gig, with a very special guest with whom they started the encores – Pure Ground's Greh Holger entered the stage to perform the result of a collaboration between Agent Side Grinder and Dirk Ivens of Absolute Body Control, Dive and The Klinik – Go (Bring It) Back, mashing up Bring It Back and The Klinik's Go Back. In case you missed out on that, shame on you, my friends. Shame on you, you likely missed one of the best gigs this year.

If you have already heard the news, then you must of heard the passing away of anti-apartheid icon Nelson Mandela. Reports say that he died in his sleep, peacefully. Ironically, his life wasn't at all peaceful. Yet, he was always smiling, never letting life get in his way. We need more of that from us and people around us, yet that isn't what made him such an inspiring figure. It takes an overall good character to be able to inspire a nation. Yet his character inspired not only a nation, but the entire world. Therefore, it is our duty in honoring him, that we examine what made his life so inspiring.

Patience and Gratitude: The Two wings you need to fly safely through life
There will be many situations throughout life, some we will like and some that we will abhor. These situations usually cause you to either be happy, or sad. Usually when you are sad, you feel that life is truly unfair and pose the question: Why did this happen to me? As a person you feel desolate and you give up on yourself and life in general. On the opposite side of the spectrum, When you have a situation that makes you happy, there is some evil behaviors that you may derive from this. You may become arrogant in the actions that you do because you feel blessed. In addition, you might forget people who don't have what you have and that will therefore increase your degree of arrogance. You may eventually have a heart of stone due to your sense of, again, arrogance. Yet, there are two simple qualities that you need in order that you may be able to avoid these evil behavior. These two qualities are Patience and Gratitude. Let us first began with Patience.

Sujata Singh
Sujata Singh, a student at the University of Chicago's Harris School of Public Policy Studies from Nepal, will use the grant for her project Empowerment through Digital Literacy. The project aims to implement a digital literacy project in Shree Bhairab Secondary School, located in Alad, a rural village in the far western region of Nepal. As Sujata explained "Nepal is still reeling from the recent decade long civil war (1996-2006), which killed around 18,000 people and internally displaced around 150,000. During the civil war, in villages such as Alad, Maoists shut down many schools and forced youth to join guerrilla groups. The inhabitants lived in constant fear as Maoists rebel groups destroyed infrastructures and killed innocent people in the name of revolution. This negatively impacted the social and economic development of the village, effects of which can still be seen today. Even though the war ended a long time ago, the government has not made any efforts to fight the effects of war and bringing any sort of development to Alad. Most of the youth remain disenfranchised and uninvolved in direct peace building efforts because of the lack of opportunities and the technological disconnect. There is a need for peace in Alad, the kind of peace that comes not only from the end of war, but from having access to quality education and opportunities. It is my hope that educating and engaging students positively will help stabilize and promote peace in the community." The project will partner with the Computer Association of Nepal and Nepal Telecom. Read Sujata's blog about her journey in Nepal!
