School is an integral part of our lives and our children spend the greater part of their early life in school. Because of our quest for education, we find ourselves faced with the task of teaching or supervising our children as they do their homework or prepare for their examinations.
Most schools will be starting examinations soon. This means that most of us have to help their children revise. However, the problem that we were faced with is how to go about the revision process.
How much work should you give an eight year old and should you keep him busy the whole weekend because he has to revise?
Remember, these are young children who are used to mixing work and play therefore even if they are going to have tests, there ought to be a limit between what they can do and what they cannot.
You certainly cannot assume that an eight year child will spend the whole weekend locked up in his room studying as if he is vying for a degree at the university.
You have to give him work and at the same time allow him room to play remember the proverbial saying all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.
If you think I am joking then try loading your child with work and you will see how that will backfire.
On Sunday after we came back from church we decided to watch a movie at home whilst our son was doing a math test which my husband had prepared for him as a way of helping him revise.
He did the first test quite ok and was given a second one and he still had to do a third one before we could call it quits.
When he was told to go and do the second test he started groaning and moaning and I pretended not to notice and decided not to intervene in what father and son were doing.
He went and did the test and then came back, but before going, he had asked if he could go and play soccer amidst the moaning and groaning to which the dad replied not until you finish the tests.
He brought the second test and when the dad went through it I heard him complain bitterly as to the volume of mistakes. He sat down with him and discussed the errors then asked him to go back into his room and do the corrections and threatened that he would not be allowed to play soccer unless he completed perfectly well.
When the boy went into his room I realised the dad was getting frustrated, I suggested that we let the boy go and play soccer for an hour then he would come back and finish his work and he agreed.
So when the boy brought his corrections the dad said ok son leave this with me go play soccer for an hour and when you come back we finish the rest.
He was excited and said thank you countless times and flew out of the house with his soccer ball in hand.
When he came back things were a lot easier, he was concentrating and the process took a much shorter time then afterwards we asked him to pack his school bag taking out all the stuff that he didn't need the next day since they would writing examinations.
This experience taught us that the concentration span of children is minute and for that reason they ought to mix work and play.
If you expose them to all work they tend to lose concentration and thus when they start making multiple mistakes not because they are not able but just because their concentration span is small.
The moment you try to bulldoze them with work, the result will be counterproductive because they can't concentrate for a long time.
Once they lose concentration they get everything wrong therefore once you see they are becoming g restless allow them to refresh by either watching a movie suitable for their age or playing any other game that they like alone or with friends. That does the trick and bears positive results.
Forcing them to continue working once they have showing signs of tiredness will only frustrate both you and the child and I believe that's not what you want.
One other thing I wanted to bring to the attention of many parents is that helping our children with homework or revision does not mean that we do the homework for them.
Our ole is to guide them and ensure that they are doing the right thing not to literally do the said homework for our children. I hope you get me. Happy parenting!

What Walmart's Outlook Says About the Whole U.S. Economy
Walmart on Thursday reported higher profits, but offered a weak forecast for the months ahead. The problem? The poor and middle-class Americans Walmart caters to -- and who are big drivers of U.S. spending -- are struggling with rising gas prices, delayed tax refunds and higher payroll taxes.

Don't Pull The Plug Quite Yet!
One good sign for Tuesday night is that Kendrick Perkins will remain on the bench with his shoulder injury. He's been playing effectively at the center position. If we can contain KG like we did last night and play BETTER DEFENSE then we might have a chance. If Pierce has an average game and doesn't go crazy offensivley like he did then we might have a chance. If Ray Allen's path to the open 3 point line is defended well then we might have a chance. Ray has 15 3 pointers this series.
Kobe needs to be, well, KOBE. His supporting cast need to make their shots. Fisher, Sasha, Farmar, Gasol, Vladimir and ESPECIALLY ODOM. Lamar will have to be the surprising X factor tomorrow night. His mid range game has not been there and that needs to change. He can hit his jump shots!
Phil needs to stop making idiotic substitutions. Mihm needs to have ZERO minutes. The poor guy had a Kareem moment and attempted a nice looking sky hook, the only problem was, the rim seemed to have moved to the right and the ball flew over it. Luke needs to ONLY be given minutes based on his performance come game time. He's inconsistent. He can be a great contributor but then he can also make a statistician writing hand go numb with turnover marks.
Farmar, Vladimir and Sasha need to make their presence felt. Lets face it, there will be some bad calls by the refs but let's not get technical fouls based on whiny reactions, especially after we score. YES, I'm talking to you Vladimir!
Gasol needs to be AGGRESSIVE! Cut to the basket much quicker from a pick and roll so Kobe's entry pass won't come flashing by in front of you. Grab those rebounds with meaning and purpose!
Rondo might come out strong and surprise us. Let's stop him and his upside-down headband. It's a subtle disrespect to our Laker legend Jerry West as his silhouette is hanging bat-like.
Let's quiet the Celtics fans by setting the tempo early like games 4 and 5! I want the FRIGGIN' JFK Library to be louder than the Celtics arena!
Let's unite history's "Boston Tea Party" with today's "Boston Three Party" by having Boston throw more bricks than those tea bricks thrown in the Boston Harbor back in 1773! (My history teacher would be proud of that last comment)
If we take game 6 then it's a whole new ball game! We can re-ink the record books by executing this comeback. It's a chance of a lifetime and it's ours!

Great Picture. That is all you needed. The AED says it all. Hilarious! Good luck!ReplyDelete
Great thoughts and totally agree with your thoughts about how we are playing....we need to toughen up! I would kill to have some throwback players on our team...someone like Lansberger, Rambis, AC Green, or Mychal Thompson...someone who will not give an inch but will definitely take a few as far as playing tough. We need someone like that...someone who will bang them around and get them thinking twice before the drive to the basket...our European connection of Gasol, Vlade, and Sasha play defense like the great matadors....ole'. They need to body up and play like MEN. I actually liked when Phil put in Mihm....hey the guy has 6 fouls...lets use 'em...but lets use them on fouls that KG, and Pierce will remember...legal, hard fouls...no more walks down the lane for easy layups. Its exactly what the Celts are doing to Kobe, Pau, and Lamar....got to play the same type of game!
I have loved the Lakers since I could remember and know that while tonight will be a flat out WAR....KB24 can take it to a game 7...and totally believe he can push his team-mates to win the championship. He is the best I've ever seen....and no dis to MJ...he's just a better all around player than him.
so here is what we can count on for tonight:
Aggressive = WIN
Soft = Summer Vacation
Lakes have to open strong...get a lead...and never stop jamming it down the Celts throats...ALL game long....do not let up...ever....not until Game 7 is over and we are celebrating on the Celts floor!
Go Lakers!!!
Man, you're taking me old school with all this talk about Rambis, A.C. (Whom I've met at Target out all of places) Thompson & Lansberger, Mr. board killer.
I strongly agree. The heart and soul for the game back in those days pales in comparison to today's NBA star's self greed for the all mighty buck!
Back in those days the sweat wasn't artificial. Only a selected few play the game with heart...Kobe (although at times clouded by forgetting to wear his muzzle), Nash, Duncan, KG to name a few and the old school defense was much tighter than their shorts. Yikes, I just had a visual of Will Ferrell in Semi Pro.
LOL...I am loving your Matador analogy!I couldn't stop laughing because it's so true! LOL.
Let's avoid Summer vacation and aim for the jugular!
Thanks for taking the time Dezz! Laker fans unite!
The lakers still lost game 6 though. :/ReplyDelete
Kind of reminds me of the Stanley cup finals with the Pittsburgh penguins...
(I'm from Pittsburgh, Haha)
Sorry for the random comment...

Okay, you know what, time to build a file guide. As soon as set 11 came out, I was drawn to the new Mage Soldiers. They'd never really had any support before, and it looked like there was a potential to use some underused cards in this time round. I've seen a number of Mage Soldiers out there, but it's not as straight forward a file as it may seem so the file's I've come across have had differing results. This is just my attempt at putting some likely candidates forward for a MS file.
Just a note that this is my first time writing a guide for this game, so if anyone thinks I've written something badly or missed something out do tell.
The Mage Soldier Archetype:
With the addition of new Mage Soldier support as a tribal file, it's now making an appearance in Folrart. With the Ryu-Balmoa combo supported with Chamail, Mage Soldiers look like a fast, hard hitting file that racks up the damage quickly and decisively. On first appearances it looks like it plays a lot like a Gowen rush file, and that's somewhat unsurprising as half of the file is made up of Gowen cards, but mage soldiers have a few tricks up their sleaves in how they deal their damage, and there are a few different ways to play them.
Tribal: Get a stack of Mage Soldiers and back them up with Balmoa and Chamail for the MS support. You may even want some Wiz Kingdom units in there for double support for certain units such as Ryu and Greatsword Soldier.
Red Rush: Mage Soldiers could even just be a way to get into Mid-Red filetype. With Antilla and Ryu generating loads of SP early game it wouldn't be too difficult to move into the famous stars of Gowen such as Dilate, Sakura and Bringer.
Control: Running a file where your frontline cannot be harmed by regular attacks presents a serious problem for your opponent. If you also sit there removing or disrupting any units that have problematic Action or Auto skills with grim and SS support, your opponent may have nothing they can do. Return, Diondora, and Rasam SS are essential in this file type.
Survival: A slight variation on the Control type of MS. It still focuses on returning and engaging problematic units with SS such as Rasam, but has ways of bringing the front line back again and again with Ascarat and Forbidden Book and other SS, or other revival type grims and SS.
Bread & Butter:
Here's generally what you want to include in your MS file, if you don't have these guys you might want to look elsewhere.
This is the guy you want around, and likely the reason you're playing with Mage soldiers. With his essential auto skill giving your units protection from attack, he's there to keep your guys alive. Remember to use his meditation if he's not going to kill or help kill a unit, because that bonus will gradually get larger and a double striking 50 attacker at 5 agi is pretty significant.
Yep, the top two units in this file come from set 11, what a surprise. You've likely heard of this guy already. Lvl 4, attacks twice, generates a gowen lvl, grimbanes for 0SP, and if he's immune to attack, he gets even bigger. However this guy is likely to be your main tank thanks to the restricted nature of Mage Soldiers. With Balmoa's attack protection and buff, Ryu can get to 60 Atk for a double attack at 4 agi, so he's certainly a hard hitter for his lvl. Just be sure to keep him protected and supported, or you'll find he's gone pretty quickly, and you don't want that.
With mage soldiers, you'll be playing with Falkow, and that means returns. I know Returns have the staple of cheapness and what have you, but you're likely to have only a few staple units in your MS file, and that means you've got SP to burn on returns to keep the sides even on field presence. What kind of returns and how many really depends on personal preference and availability. My build has 4 return type grims: 1 Tidal, 2 Return, and 1 Wrath.
And that's it for the bread and butter cards. There aren't many cards that are particularly necessary for Mage Soldiers to work.
Flavour Units:
Now we're on to the flavour of the file. Decide which type of MS you want to use and then focus on a strategy that you like. Many of these units can work in one MS file or another, but not necessarily in all of them. We're still technically in the early stages of Mage Soldiers making a stand in Folrart, so don't be afraid to try new things.
Some would look at her and see "Red & Blue Mage Soldier? Clearly she belongs in this file" but honestly she's not for everyone. Like most multisphere cards, she has good stats for her lvl, she can get the attack protection from Balmoa, and her start skill buffs allied MS's. However with her 30 HP and the fact that without a MS in front of her you'd need rank 5 Gowen to give her agi 4, it restricts her to a 2nd row unit, and if she's already protected by others, then she doesn't require the Atk protection from Balmoa. That's not to say she's bad of course, her skills and power are still significant for her level, but she's not Wiz Kingdom like Ryu, so she'll miss out on those bonuses if you're aiming for them. She's not for every MS file, but she can easily fit in many.
With Ryu's Flame Awakening autoskill, you can generate an extra 3 SP a turn, which is tremendous. This can lead into much bigger units later on, but you'd have to keep your Gowen lvl around the 2-3 mark to take full advantage of it, meaning all that SP you're generating either sits there, or is used for other Falkow grims and units. She's also Wiz Kingdom, so don't forget about potential bonuses there.
Simulacrum of Annarose:
With an extra 3 Lawt added to the cost, this may seem a little out of your way, however she's another Mage soldier to take advantage of. Her auto skill can halt an opponent's attack if they're dependent on their atk trait, also delivering a solid attack. Plus, if your opponent relies on a single large unit you may have effectively stopped them in their tracks. It's also valuable to note that Chamail's auto-skill will damage enemies of 0 Atk, so there's a potential combo there, and Chamail's +1 agi can be given to Simulacrum, to be sure of her going before her target.
She seems an odd choice, being typically a grim count unit, however Ascarat is both a Mage Soldier, and Wis King. Furthermore, if you're primarily Wis King units, she can bring some of them back from the grave if you have Forbidden book in your file. With Ryu's grimbane taking out your grim count, you might not be able to use her DF buff abilities, but if you can judge when to use Ryu's skill, you can get a little extra protection for your frontline.
Sorcerer Monk of Regus:
This is one of the most typical closing units for a Falkow file. Burn up all that leftover SP into sphere lvls for a double strike of up to 135 damage, or hold onto the SP for a single powerful strike. One use for Antilla's leftover SP.
Bog Wyvern:
Another closer, but naturally comes with risk. For starters, is much more expensive than Sorcerer Monk, and if you play it, it's likely going to be the last thing you do play.
She's a good addition to almost any Falkow file that runs lvl 4s or higher. Just be careful you don't play her while you've got Chamail on the field.
Great Spirits: Salamander/Undine/Sylph
They're good in almost every file. Salamander can pinpoint that last little bit of damage, or pose an early 30 atk danger, and they're the typical sacrificial lambs for activating SS or to Assassin. Many of your units will have around 4 agi in a MS file however, so while the agi manipulation of Undine and Sylph may not be needed particularly often, they can still save you in a time of need.
Yes, because it's a mid red/blue file, I can't go far without suggesting him. He may be higher in Gowen than you may want if you're trying to go for the Antilla-Ryu bonus, but he's still a fast, tough as nails unit with an epic 1SP slash. Just be aware that if he's in the front with a couple of mage soldiers, he's going to be taking the brunt of the attack.
Once again, I can't mention Mid red without mentioning Bringer. The cost of his open skill is also rather mitigated by the use of Ryu-Antilla combo, so it may not be as far out as some other Gowen units. Just be aware that he has been nerfed a couple of times, so he's not as lively as he once was. He also has the same problem as Dilate, that he'll be taking the brunt of the attacks.
I know I mentioned her as one of the variation files, but considering you'll have a lot more offensive capabilities in Mage Soldiers, and her return isn't targeted, it may be difficult for her to work in this type of file. If you build your file with this in mind however, she may have a chance to shine, but don't expect it to work like other Dio files. This is a very different environment for her.
Magic Sword Dual-Wielder:
An underused Gowen card that I feel has hidden greatness. At Rankup 4, you have a lvl 3, 50 HP, 30 Atk, 4 agi unit that can deal extra damage for 1 SP. Also worthy of note is that her attack skills also reduce atk by 20 or agi by 3, which can help set a unit to 0 Atk for Chamail, or just reduce a potential threat. Remember though, her skills are still random, so be aware before you spend the SP.
Ex Wizard soldier of Regus:
Often a first turn or early turn staple of Falkow or Wiz king files. Lvl 2 with a free revive with decent stats to both survive and deal some damage in an early game field. Not essential, but could be useful depending on your file structure.
Magic Greatsword soldier:
Another staple in wiz king files. This is where you could be spending that massive amount of SP you'll be making with Antilla by pumping your sphere lvls into attack power.
Magic Scythe Soldier:
Another underused card that may have potential in a MS file. Rng 2 pinpoint could be viable if he's in the front row with a Balmoa attack protection. Still, would be difficult to use however. Unless…
This MS had some use when he first appeared and he's reappeared occasionally without blowing us away, which is a real pity. He's such a unique unit and nobody else does what he does. Stick him between Balmoa and maybe another pinpointing unit in the second row, and suddenly Balmoa's double strike doesn't seem so weak when it has the potential to hit back row support at agi 5.
Another multisphere Gowen Falkow MS. She'll have different stats depending on your Gowen lvl, either 40 atk or 4 agi, but her action skill engages one unit and damages another for 1 SP. Could be useful.
Elite Mage Knight of Regus
Not a mage soldier unfortunately, however a high lvl unit with grim protection and a nasty action skill that damages then buffs and heals the unit. Remember however that the damage comes before the unit is buffed, so don't spend the 2 SP expecting a 40 damage attack on the first shot. With all that Antilla SP, you may be able to play him early and get a solid tank on the field.
So as you can see, there are many choices for flavouring up your MS file, but be sure to pick a theme and stick with it. Remember, with MS your focus will be on hard and fast damage with a field of supported units. And this brings us to what flavour of grims we may wish for.
Elemental Burst:
+10 atk and +1 agi for all units for a turn, as well as 20 damage to 2 random units. As a multisphere gowen/falkow grim, it once again seems like a no brainer, however what you'll likely be using it for is the temporary field buff, the damage is just a perk. Seeing as most of your field will have high agi anyway however, this may not work as great as you might think. It is certainly a good grim, but be sparing with it. Worthy of note however, is that with Balmoa on the field, he will refund 1 SP for you.
Gowen Damage grims:
I'm listing them in a group here as listing them seperatly would be a bit silly. They all do the same thing essentially but with slightly differing effects and costs. You'll likely want to stick to low cost Gowen grims however, as your Gowen lvl might not climb that high in what is primarily a falkow driven file. To substitute Fire arrow however, you might want to use Final Showdown instead to use your likely higher Falk lvls. Some good Gow damage grims to use include: Dragon Breath, Final Showdown, Falkow Pike, River of Fire, Boulder Drop, and Fire Snake Whip.
Reinforcements from the Sky
A new set 11 grim that gives attack protection for your whole field. It may be useful if you've lost Balmoa or need just that extra turn to power Ryu's attack power, but most of the time if you've lost Balmoa you've probably lost your front line too. You might want to keep it, but at max only 1 if any.
Balmoa attack buff grims:
I specify Balmoa, because really, why would you want to play them on anyone else? These grims come in the form of Magic Weapon and Invisibility edge. They're both 1 cost grims, so you'd get the SP back for them anyway, but they're both good choices to put on him for his double strike anyway. The problem is of course that if you do so, it'll only stay till he revives. Have maybe 1 or two if you really want.
Rapid growth & Meaning of Failure:
Depending if you're using Antilla or not, your SP could vary greatly. As you'll have around 3 in both Gowen and Falkow, you can choose either, but I prefer Rapid growth for its definite bonus rather than a chance of getting nothing with MoF. Your SP should be good without too many of these so only pack one if you're running Antilla, and maybe two if you're not.
LP and Soul Skill track:
So we've talked about units, we've talked about grims. Now it's time to move onto the 5 cards that define your life, or at least the life of your file. Your Soul Skills. Soul skills are probably the most flexible in your file, as there are few SS that support mage soldiers specifically, and you probably shouldn't go for them anyway. These are just suggestions.
Typically you'll be running an 8-9 LP file with Mage Soliders, and because you'll likely be running with only a few key units, engage and return such as Rasam, Pixy Aquamancer, etc would be vital.
1st: Distrier/Asuet, sphere generator, Gafc, etc
Typically you'll have your first SS to generate sphere lvls or SP in a file that uses lvl 4 and higher units, so this could include Samurai Girl, Owl Sage, Dryad solider or any of the +2 SP SS. It can also have a damage & generating skill, such as Distrier / Asuet, Heierrat musketeer, or Carrier [Lost one].
2nd: Engage, cheap return, stall… varied
By this stage you'll probably have the start of your Ryu-Balmoa combo on the field, or you'll have something else that will build into the combo and you'll want something that will be able to keep your field solid before you start losing units. It really depends on the flavour of MS file you're running, wether you want to be more aggressive or conservative.
3rd: Engage, Damage, cemetery retrieval
Because Ryu & Balmoa are your key units, you may want some kind of cemetery retrieval to keep them going. Depending on your Gow/Falk ratio you could end up using Librarian Bernet SS if you think you'll be pinpointing Ryu. Otherwise some more engage or damage never hurts.
4th: Often similar to 3rd, but may include revive
By now you may have lost a few sets of cards, but hopefully your opponent has lost some too. You may want a revival card here, such as Renally if you have many characters, General Zagar, or Awakened Esria. As usual, a 1 LP revival is easier to target.
5th: 3LP anchor
If you think you'll be playing all your grims, Hirume is a nice anchor, or Bringer, Ex Diosaur depending on your availability.
Weaknesses of Mage Soldiers:
Returns/removal/ engage disruption:
Yeah, it seems a bit redundant to put this here as this type of thing disrupts many files, however like any strategy that relies on good support and few units, returns and engage can decimate your flow and remove your key units while they assault your support. You're still sitting around the 3-4 lvl range though, so as long as you're keeping your file with enough backup SP you shouldn't be out for too long.
SP drain
Despite being able to generate lots of SP, you still need SP for it to build. Missing out on a few early SP can seriously slow you down, while your opponent builds up their field.
High DF
Depending on your own removal abilities, high DF can pose a problem. Ryu's high damage is commonly split into two attacks, meaning that DF will be doubly effective against him, as well as Balmoa's double strike.
Agi Manipulation
Generally, Balmoa goes first, then Ryu, then Antilla (if you've got her). This order ensures a protection, sphere generation, and SP generation. But if that's disrupted your careful timing goes out the window. Elite Fencer is a particular problem, as they'll likely aim for Balmoa, rendering his attack protection useless.
Character destruction
Both your key units are characters, and a number of good support are also characters. Cards like Sakura, Storm wizardess, and particularly Volfied can easily trounce your characters.
And that's it for the guide for now. I might add to it or post up some pics of example files later, but as a free player I don't have all the cards I'd need to do so
Hope this helps people.

- Broncos figure to work D.J. Williams into lineup quickly, creatively
For an NFL team with Super Bowl aspirations, suspended Broncos linebacker D.J. Williams hasn't been worth a plugged nickel.
But as the man who has selfishly put his "Dyme Lyfe" ahead of his football livelihood rolled through the locker room Thursday, this much was obvious: Denver teammates like Williams way more than frustrated Broncomaniacs who would like to run him out of town.
Rather than being treated as a pariah, Williams is greeted like a lost brother by many Denver players. Despite his recent history of house arrest, a flunked drug test and acting like a juvenile Twitter pest, now you know the No. 1 reason why Williams won't be cut by the Broncos when his nine-game suspension expires. Teammates are willing to forgive him.
The NFL trade deadline is next week, and a Pro Bowl defender ain't walking through those doors at Dove Valley. Williams can help this team.
But here's the real beauty of the situation: At age 30, Williams needs the Broncos more than the Broncos need him.
To hand Williams a starting job upon his return would be an insult to Denver fans who pay hard-earned money for tickets and disrespectful to Denver linebackers who have picked up the slack for a slacker of a teammate.
Regarded as Denver's weakest unit prior to the season, linebackers Von Miller, Keith Brooking and Wesley Woodyard have instead demonstrated the Broncos could find smarter ways to spend $5 million than on Williams.
"They've challenged each other. They've been competitive. They've done some things well and we're going to need them to improve as a group, just like the rest of the football team," Broncos defensive coordinator Jack Del Rio said.
Against the run, a primary measure of linebacking effectiveness, Denver is surrendering 3.7 yards per carry, sixth-best in the 32-team league.

This has been a breakout season for Woodyard. After five years of answering questions whether he could play every down at weakside linebacker, Woodyard has "done a nice job of rising up for us," Del Rio said. If chemistry matters, if loyalty matters and if character matters to the Broncos, it would be crazy to give back Woodyard's starting job to Williams.
While Houston's J.J. Watt has the NFL buzzing about a defensive lineman winning the MVP award and Green Bay linebacker Clay Matthews has the hair and the hammer of Thor, here's a vote to include Miller as one of the three biggest impact defenders in the league. "He's more experienced playing linebacker, doing more than just rushing the quarterback," Del Rio said. Miller now also stuffs the run. Pro Bowl? No doubt.
Brooking gave coach John Fox an option in the middle when Joe Mays whiffed on too many tackles. The question: At 36 years old, is Brooking's body still built for the long, rugged road to the Super Bowl?
Williams has become a luxury rather than a necessity. So what role does he fill with this team?
"That'll be up to Coach Fox to decide," Del Rio said.
Well, knowing Fox truly cherishes my input, here's a honey-do list for Williams:
1) Sweep the floors and fetch coffee.
2) Play special teams.
3) Contribute on passing situations in the nickel package.
The point? Make Williams start at the bottom and sweat to regain trust.
If he proves football is No. 1 priority in his life, then perhaps the place where Williams could help the Broncos the most during the playoffs is as a starter at middle linebacker, a position he hasn't played since 2007.
Here's wishing nothing but the best for Williams.
But should Williams not give the Broncos his best?
Show him the door and let the "Dyme Lyfe" roll on down the road in 2013.

Revision as of 11:36, 7 August 2013
Within Joomla there are manifest files for all of the extensions. These files include the general installation information as well as parameters for the configuration of the extension itself. Since Joomla! 2.5 , there are very few differences between the manifest file formats for the different types of extensions, allowing each type to access the full power of the Joomla! installer.
Naming conventions
The file must be named manifest.xml or <extension_name>.xml and located in the root directory of the installation package.
Root element
The primary tag of the installation file is:
This starting and closing tags are now valid for all extensions. The new tag
<extension> replaces the old
<install></install> from Joomla . The following attributes are allowed within the tag:
|Applicable to
|All extensions
|This attribute describes the type of the extension for the installer. Based on this type further requirements to sub-tags apply.
|All extensions
|String that identifies the version of Joomla for which this extension is developed.
|All extensions
|The default value
install will be also used if the method attribute is not used. The
install value means the installer will gracefully stop if it finds any existing file/folder of the new extension.
|The client attribute allows you to specify for which application client the new module is available.
|The group name specifies for which group of plugins the new plugin is available. The existing groups are the folder names within the directory /plugins. The installer will create new folder names for group names that do not exist yet.
The following elements can be used to insert metadata. None of these elements are required; if they are present, they must be a child of the root element.
<name> – raw component name (e.g. com_banners). <author> – author's name (e.g. Joomla! Project) <creationDate> – date of creation or release (e.g. April 2006) <copyright> – a copyright statement (e.g. (C) 2005 - 2011 Open Source Matters. All rights reserved.) <license> – a license statement (e.g. NU General Public License version 2 or later; see LICENSE.txt) <authorEmail> – author's email address (e.g. firstname.lastname@example.com) <authorUrl> – URL to the author's website (e.g. www.joomla.org) <version> – the version number of the extension (e.g. 1.6.0) <description> – the description of the component. This is a translatable field. (e.g. COM_BANNERS_XML_DESCRIPTION)
Note: The <name> and <description> tags are also translatable fields so that the name and description of the extension can be shown to the user in their native language.
Front-end files
<files folder="from-folder"> <filename>example.php</filename> <folder>examples</folder> </files>
Files to copy to the front-end directory should be placed in the
<files> element. You can use the optional
folder attribute to specify a directory in the ZIP package to copy from. Each file to copy must be represented by a
<filename> element. If you want to copy an entire folder at once, you can define it as a
Media files
<media folder="media" destination="com_example"> <filename>com_example_logo.png</filename> <folder>css</folder> <folder>js</folder> </media>
This example will copy the file(s) (/media/com_example_logo.png) and folders ( /media/css/ and /media/js/ ) listed to /media/com_example/, creating the com_example folder if required. You can use the optional
folder attribute to specify a directory in the ZIP package to copy from (in this case, media).
Extensions should be storing assets they need to be web accessible (JS, CSS, images etc) in
media. Amongst other things this feature was added as step in the progression to multi-site support and the eventual move of code files (PHP) out of the web accessible areas of the server.
Administration section
<administration> <!-- various elements --> </administration>
The administration section is defined in the
<administration> element. Since only components apply to both the site and the administrator, only component manifests can include this element.
Back-end files
Files to copy to the back-end directory should be placed in the
<files> element under the
<administration>. You can use the optional
folder attribute to specify a directory in the ZIP package to copy from. See Front-end files for further rules.
<menu>COM_EXAMPLE</menu> <submenu> <menu link="anoption=avalue">COM_EXAMPLE_SUBMENU_ANOPTION</menu> <menu view="viewname">COM_EXAMPLE_SUBMENU_VIEWNAME</menu> </submenu>
The text for the main menu item for the component is defined in the
<menu> item, a child of
<administration>. A
<submenu> element may also be present (also a child of
<administration>), which may contain more menu items defined by
Additionally, each
<menu> item can define the following attributes:
|A link to send the user to when the menu item is clicked
|The (relative) path to an image (16x16 pixels) to appear beside the menu item.
Must be an url compatible as a file too (e.g. no spaces) !
|An URL parameter to add to the link. For example,
<menu view="cpanel">COM_EXAMPLE</menu> in com_example's XML manifest would cause the URL of the menu item to be index.php?option=com_example&view=cpanel.
The value inside the tag is the menu's label. Unlike Joomla! 1.5, you can not use a natural language string. For example, if you would enter "Example Component" instead of COM_EXAMPLE, it would result in your component name appearing as example-component in the menu and you would be unable to provide a translation. In order to provide a translation you need to create a file named en-GB.com_example.sys.ini in administrator/languages/en-GB (you can use the manifest's
tag as shown below. This tag is considered to be deprecated since Joomla! 1.6. We encourage you to put extension 's language files in the extension folder and Joomla! is responsible for the loading of required language files.
<!-- Joomla! 1.5 language tag, deprecated since Joomla! 1.6 -->
<languages folder="langfiles">
<language tag="en-GB">en-GB.com_example.ini</language>
By storing extension language files in the extension folder, you gain benefits when removing a language from the Joomla! installation: As your language files will not be removed, when reinstall the language again you can use those files without installing them again.
The structure of he language folder for frontend and backend is the same. You put them in the <language> tag of your folder i.e. language/en-GB/. You have to specify those folders in the front-end and back-end files too.
During development you can turn on language debugging in the Joomla! global configuration. So you can investigate if the problems arise.
Script file
An optional script file (PHP code that is run before, during and/or after installation, uninstallation and upgrading) can be defined using a
<scriptfile> element. This file should contain a class named "<element_name>IntallerScript" where <element_name> is the name of your extension (e.g. com_componentname, mod_modulename, etc.). Plugins requires to state the group (e.g. plgsystempluginname). The structure of the class is as follows:
class com_componentnameInstallerScript { /** * Constructor * * @param JAdapterInstance $adapter The object responsible for running this script */ public function __construct(JAdapterInstance $adapter); /** * Called before any type of action * * @param string $route Which action is happening (install|uninstall|discover_install|update) * @param JAdapterInstance $adapter The object responsible for running this script * * @return boolean True on success */ public function preflight($route, JAdapterInstance $adapter); /** * Called after any type of action * * @param string $route Which action is happening (install|uninstall|discover_install|update) * @param JAdapterInstance $adapter The object responsible for running this script * * @return boolean True on success */ public function postflight($route, JAdapterInstance $adapter); /** * Called on installation * * @param JAdapterInstance $adapter The object responsible for running this script * * @return boolean True on success */ public function install(JAdapterInstance $adapter); /** * Called on update * * @param JAdapterInstance $adapter The object responsible for running this script * * @return boolean True on success */ public function update(JAdapterInstance $adapter); /** * Called on uninstallation * * @param JAdapterInstance $adapter The object responsible for running this script */ public function uninstall(JAdapterInstance $adapter); }
Update servers
<updateservers> <server type="extension" priority="1" name="Extension Update Site">http://example.com/extension.xml</server> <server type="collection" priority="2" name="Collection Update Site">http://example.com/collection.xml</server> </updateservers>
Update servers can be defined in the
<updateservers> element, a child of the root. This element may contain one or more
<server> element, each describing a location to fetch updates from. Each
<server> item can define the following attributes:
|The update server type
|The priority of the update server
|The name of the update server
More info:
For a real-life example, see the manifest of the Banner component in the latest version of Joomla! 2.5.
The Joomla testing process uses several extensions to test whether the installer works correctly. The latest versions of the manifests of these extensions are:
- com_alpha manifest
- mod_alpha manifest
- plg_system_alpha manifest
- tpl_simple manifest
- lng_xx-XX manifest

Rihanna and Chris Brown are trying things out again, but Rihanna's mentor Jay-Z is keeping a close eye on the situation. And he has reportedly threatened to finish Chris if he hurts her again. No, he didn't threaten to end his life, just his career. It happened during Jay's recent concert in New York City. Jay-Z had told Rihanna that if Chris is truly making her happy then to go for it. But backstage he called Chris to one side and told him if he hurts Rihanna, whether emotionally or physically, it's over for him. He'll ensure it will result in the end of his career."
Chris Rock went on the "Today" show yesterday to push "Madagascar 3" on DVD but he also revealed that he and Dave Chappelle are planning on touring together. Their managers are working out the details.
"American Idol" season 11 runner-up Jessica Sanchez is signed to a recurring role on "Glee." Although there are no details on what the 17-year-old's role will be, rumors are buzzing about a new love interest for Finn (Cory Monteith).
Beyonce will headline this season's Super Bowl halftime show on Sunday, February 3rd in New Orleans. This will be her first Super Bowl halftime performance. Beyoncé hasn't commented, but she did post a picture on her website, where she's wearing athletic eye-black, with the date of the Super Bowl written on it. That seems like a pretty cut-and-dry confirmation.
Emily Maynard, the most recent "Bachelorette," has ended her engagement with Jef Holm. This comes just one week after the most recent "Bachelor", Ben Flajnik, announced his split from Courtney Robertson. Emily and Jef confirmed the news with the usual "we tried, but it didn't work out" statements.
It was like a dream come true for me! Finally on last night's elimination episode, Bristol Palin and Kirstie Alley were in the bottom two on "Dancing With the Stars." To be honest, I didn't care who went home. But it was in fact, Bristol and her partner Mark Ballas.

A second violation is punishable by a lifetime ban on applying for admission or expulsion from CUNY.
When fraudulent admissions documents are discovered prior to an applicant's enrollment, sanctions will be imposed centrally. A first offense will be punishable by a five-year bar on applying for admission and a second offense will result in a lifetime ban. The accused applicant will have the opportunity to appeal to the Vice Chancellor for Student Development.
If the fraudulent admissions document is discovered after the student completes registration or begins classes at a college, the student shall be suspended for five years with the right to appeal through the college student disciplinary process. A second offense results in expulsion.
If the fraudulent admissions document is discovered after the student has already graduated, the graduate shall be notified in writing and shall be entitled to a disciplinary hearing under Article 15 of the Board Bylaws. If the disciplinary committee sustains the charges, the committee may impose a five-year suspension and in addition recommend the revocation of the degree. A second violation results in expulsion. Any recommendation to revoke a degree is subject to the approval by the Board of Trustees after considering the recommendation of the faculty of the college.
Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (F.E.R.P.A)
The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (F.E.R.P.A.) affords students certain rights with respect to their education records. They are:
- The right to inspect and review the student's education records.
Students should submit to the registrar, dean, head of the academic department, or other appropriate official, written requests that identify the record(s) they wish to inspect. If the records are not maintained by the College official to whom the request was submitted, that official shall advise the student of the correct official to whom the request should be addressed.
All requests shall be granted or denied in writing within 15 days of receipt. If the request is granted, the student will be notified of the time and place where the records may be inspected. If the request is denied or not responded to within 15 days, the student may appeal. Additional information regarding the appeal procedures will be provided to the student if a request is denied.
- The right to request the amendment of the student's education records that the student believes are inaccurate or misleading.
Students may ask the College to amend a record that they believe is inaccurate or misleading. They should write to the College official responsible for the record, clearly identify the part of the record they want changed, and specify why it is inaccurate or misleading.
If the College decides not to amend the record as requested by the student, the College will notify the student of the decision and advise the student of his or her right to a hearing regarding the request for amendment. Additional information regarding the hearing procedures will be provided to the student when notified of the right to a hearing.
- The right to consent to disclosure of personally identifiable information contained in the student's education records, except to the extent that F.E.R.P.A. authorizes disclosure without consent.
One exception which permits disclosure without consent is disclosure to school officials with legitimate educational interests. A school official is a person employed by the University in an administrative, supervisory, academic or research, or support staff position; a person or company with whom the University has contracted; a person serving on the Board of Trustees; or a student serving on an official committee, such as a disciplinary or grievance committee, or assisting another school official in performing his or her tasks.
A school official has a legitimate educational interest if access is reasonably necessary in order to perform his/her instructional, research, administrative, or other duties and responsibilities.
Upon request, the College discloses education records without consent to officials of another school in which a student seeks or intends to enroll.
- You may appeal the alleged denial of F.E.R.P.A. rights to the:

The Tanzania Football Federation (TFF) says the Confederation of African Football (Caf) is expected to enforce the use of the Magnetic Resonance Scan (MRS) system used to determine age of players starting with under-17 players.
TFF information officer Boniface Wambura has said Caf was yet to release official details. This is a departure from the past when the MRS age screening was used at the final. Caf wants the process to start during the qualifiers.
He said the national associations are expected to conduct the MRS screening before the preliminary games start and Caf will be sending their experts to verify the results before the qualifiers.
Wambura said Caf had decided to introduce the MRS scan at an early stage after noting that teams could change after they qualify for the final.
The spokesman said in the past some nations would use over aged players in the preliminary rounds and after qualifying the team would change because the MRS is used in the finals.
The CAF under-17 games get underway in September this year.
"Yes, I have been told of the development. What will happen is that we will conduct the MRS age screening and then Caf will send their officials to verify if the results are indeed true," he said.
He said this is good as it will help to make sure that there is no cheating, adding that this would help the country to have a good youth team capable of playing in the national team for long time.
Some years back, Tanzania national youth team was suspended from participating at all CAF tournaments for featuring an over-aged player, Nurdin Bakari in a game against Zimbabwe.
However, recently the Director of Sports in the Ministry of Information, Youth Sports and Culture Leonard Thadeo said the problem of age cheating in sports has been minimised by 95 percent and asked all stakeholders to make sure that the problem does mot recur.
He asked all sports stakeholders not to entertain cheating of players' ages as this might terribly back fire to halt the football promotion.

Author Funds New Creative Writing Chair

Author Funds New Creative Writing Chair
Contact: Patrick Verel
(212) 636-7790
Mary Higgins Clark, FCLC '79, whose 42 books have sold 100 million copies in the United States alone, has pledged $2 million to Fordham University to create the Mary Higgins Clark Chair in Creative Writing.
The gift will make it possible for Fordham to hire a professor of creative writing within the department of English. The chair will be a visiting appointment for a limited term, offered to a distinguished writer drawn from a variety of genres, to lead writing workshops and teach seminars and master classes to upper-level undergraduates or graduate students.
The first holder of the chair will be announced in the spring of 2015.
This is not the first gift from Higgins Clark, who served as a University trustee from 1990 to 1996, delivered the University's commencement address in 1997, and was honored with a Founder's Award in 2004. In the late 1990s, she helped fund the construction of the William D. Walsh Family Library.
"I always knew I wanted to make another gift to Fordham," she said. "At my age, at 85-and-a-half, if I don't decide to do it soon, who knows?"

Higgins Clark said that some years ago there had been a suggestion that she found a "literary chair."
"Frankly, I thought there would be scorn about that because a lot of people would say, 'She's just a popular writer,'" said Higgins Clark, who said she just signed a deal to write three more novels.
"But I thought, 'A chair in creative writing? Yes, damnit! I'm a good story teller."
"This wonderful gift from Mary, in an area that is both an academic priority for Fordham and perfectly aligned with her remarkable career as the 'Queen of Suspense,' is something we are profoundly grateful for," said Roger A. Milici, Jr., vice president for development and University relations.
"She joins a very elite list of alumni and friends who have made an investment to establish an endowed professorship. We are proud to forever link her name with Fordham, and we are doubly proud to consider her one of our own."
Higgins Clark grew up in the Bronx not far from the Rose Hill campus, and never dreamed of going to college when she was young because she wanted to help support her Irish-Catholic family. Instead, she attended secretarial school and worked as a stewardess on Pan American Airlines. After raising five children on her own (she was widowed in 1964) she enrolled at Fordham and took classes at night for five years.
"I had two children in law school, one in Mount Holyoke, one in Dartmouth and one in Immaculate Heart, and I thought, I don't want to be the only one in the family who doesn't have a college degree," she said.
She wrote two books while at Fordham:
A Stranger Is Watching
(Simon & Schuster, 1977), and
The Cradle Will Fall
(Simon & Schuster, 1980). Both became bestsellers. Her most recent book,
The Lost Years
(Pocket Books, 2013) features the University prominently.
The idea of a revolving chair was appealing, she said, because creative writing encompasses a myriad of writing styles that all depend on strong storytelling skills.
"There are plenty of nonfiction writers who are as dry as a bone, and then there are the David McCulloughs and Doris Kearns Goodwins. They know how to tell a story so it reads like a novel," she said.
Mary Bly, Ph.D., professor of English and herself a bestselling author, who hosted Higgins Clark in her creative writing classes this past year, called her a "genius" when it comes to creating narrative drive. Bly said that having a chair that features experts in different writing genres will be a testament to Higgins Clark's considerable success in not only writing well, but also cultivating a readership.
"It would be wonderful to have a children's book writer one year, maybe a food writer the next year, a genre fiction writer like Mary the year after that. There's so much flexibility," she said.
Robert R. Grimes, S.J., dean of Fordham College Lincoln Center, called Higgins Clark a "natural-born teacher." He recalled that her 1997 commencement speech, in which she instructed graduates to think of their own lives as their own suspense novels, was one of the best. The intellectual vigor with which she pursued her studies even as she was writing full-time makes her an ideal role model, he said.
"Having this revolving chair where we bring in writers of distinction from different genres means that over the course of a students' four years here, they can be exposed to four very different, distinguished writers," Father Grimes said.
Higgins Clark said she has a great affection for Fordham, and is excited by the goal set by Joseph M. McShane, S.J., president of the University, to make it the premier Catholic university in the country.
"I think Fordham has the tightest alumni you could find anywhere. You're part of the Fordham family, no matter how old you are," she said. "I have found it to be a wonderful, enriching experience."
Founded in 1841, Fordham is the Jesuit University of New York, offering exceptional education distinguished by the Jesuit tradition to more than 15,100 students in its four undergraduate colleges and its six graduate and professional schools. It has residential campuses in the Bronx and Manhattan, a campus in West Harrison, N.Y., the Louis Calder Center Biological Field Station in Armonk, N.Y., and the London Centre at Heythrop College, University of London, in the United Kingdom.

Bias ?
I can't help but feel like this page is written with some anti-itachi bias in here. For example, in the Legacy section, it says "Inadvertently, Five Kages praised him as the hero who protected the shinobi world" even though we don't know if Onoki said that only because of Madara's end or the end of ET in general. Also, The Jiraiya thing in the abilities section is really mind-boggling. I get that it can be interpreted as a hype for Jiraiya, but why put it into Itachi's section, just so he looks weaker. If anything, put it into the personality section, as his humbleness has nothing to do with his abilities. I also feel like some of his major hype isn't even mentioned, for example: #1 student in history of the konoha academy, Kisame wondering why is a retreat necesarry for him, Itachi himself saying that only a sharingan user with the same blood can hope to defeat him, Kabuto saying he is the perfect Edo Tensei, yes, more perfect than Madara Uchiha (take that as you wish), Kabuto saying he is on a whole different level to the others (take that as you wish), Obito saying he would be dead if Itachi knew his secret, Obito saying that Itachi was the sole person that impeded his vendetta against Konoha all those years, Danzo saying the difference between Itachi's and Sasuke's genjutsu was like that between heaven and earth, Shikaku (who knew Itachi) believed Itachi could literally genjutsu-control an army, Kabuto saying that he can read his opponents soul and use it against them in fights and much more. Falkirion (talk) 21:14, July 15, 2013 (UTC)
- How is the Five Kage praising him anti-Itachi? The Jiraiya thing has been discussed to death, there's a proper translation in some relevant archive. At least for me, having a character who knows how to wait and pick his fights is a strength. An intelligent character is a dangerous character. Same blood Sharingan had more to do with his Tsukuyomi. Don't recall Kabuto actively comparing Itachi and Madara, just praising both of them, separately, in different occasions. Itachi's last effort against Obito is mentioned in his ability section. Now, I should remind that bias works both ways. Even though this is Itachi's article, there comes a point where singing him even more praise would come across as forced. And besides, just because this is Itachi's article, it doesn't mean absolutely all information about him is here. There's info about him in pretty much every article that mentions him. There's also the issue of size. If we went to painstaking detail regarding everything everyone ever said about everyone else, articles would become unmanageably long. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 00:40, July 18, 2013 (UTC)
I admit for the 5 Kage hype, i didn't read it properly. As for Jiraiya, i don't think such an ambigious thing should be presented to the readers as a fact, considering that Kisame who knew Itachi was confident that he would beat the Sannin. I agree that characters shouldn't be praised too much, but i see the pages of other characters who are around Itachi's level like Nagato, Kabuto, Jiraiya, Minato, Killer Bee, and they are all praised to hell and back even though the vast majority of them have much less hype than Itachi. As for the Tobi part, it only says that Itachi impressed him even in death, but i don't see the part where he flat-out says Itachi would've killed him if he didn't keep a few secrets from him. Itachi's article is not even that big, considering how important of a character he is. Just look at Obito's, Madara's and Orochimaru's articles. Falkirion (talk) 12:30, July 20, 2013 (UTC)
- On Jiraiya, he lived up to the hype Itachi gave him, thus it has to be included in the article. Both Itachi and Jiraiya were given the same stat totals by Kishimoto himself, and in Databook II Jiraiya was said that 'his ability to fight both Kisame and Itachi at the same time was not unfounded'. On Obito: Itachi never figured out how Kamui works, thus even his after death trap wouldn't work. We've worked hard NOT to hype up Itachi here as much as his fans want (trust me, its a neverending battle) because they want Itachi to be the best the Narutoverse has to offer in EVERYTHING.--SuperSaiyaMan (talk) 23:53, August 6, 2013 (UTC)
The Age displayed in the Wiki is wrong
The databook contains an error in Itachi's age. I can't edit it though.
Sasuke and Itachi are about 8 years apart in age.
Itachi kills his clan at 16-17. (Sasauke is 7-8.) Itachi in part 1 is about 20. (Sasuke is 12-13.) Itachi is 24 when he dies. (Sasuke is 16-17.)
After Itachi massacred the clan, Sasuke's ideals and personality changed drastically due to him suffering his clan's curse and became cold, indifferent, cruel, cynical, somewhat arrogant, unreasonable and devoted the next nine years of his life to kill Itachi. Naruto chapter 225, page 21
At age 7, Itachi graduated from the Academy at the top of his class after only one year. Naruto chapter 145, page 9
enrolled in ANBU half a year later[12] and became captain by 13. Naruto chapter 142, page 12
Oro said: So this is the Uchiha that slaughtered his own clan when Itachi joined!
That means Sasuke is 7-8 years old when the clan died, and itachi would have been 16-17.
If Itachi was 11 years old, then sasuke was 2 when they died. That is a baby! Those don't run around and talk, well not proficiently anyways.
We know Sasuke was in the academy, so we know he was 7-8 years old. We know this from other sources as well.
Also, it would mean he joined Akatsuki at least 2 years before he left the village. Which makes no sense, and is contradictory to the story.
There are many more things that don't add up as well. The whole story doesn't make sense with Itachi fighting orochimaru at 11!
I think the most obvious example is simply the art and voice acting. The author obviously drew Itachi as a 16 year old. You can screw up a complicated story easily, but you can't repeatedly misrepresent the age of a character over and over. You are obviously going to notice that he didn't look 11! Thus it is clear the author's intent was to make Itachi look 16, because he was in fact 16. —This unsigned comment was made by Mysticjbyrd (talk • contribs) .
- Where are you getting that they're 8 years apart? If you look at the age at the pages, they're 4-5 years apart. I'm trying to keep up with what you're saying but where did you get that he was 11 when he fought Orochimaru? He joined Akatsuki after he killed his clan, meaning he had to be older than 13. Joshbl56 08:08, August 11, 2013 (UTC)
- Yah, I am saying the databooks have an error in them. I am getting this based on math, and the story. As far as I know there is no way to specifically age Itachi within the story itself, but one can easily guesstimate based on appearances in the story, which is what kishimoto did. However, he didn't take some story elements into consideration when he made up his numbers. The best guesstimate based on the story and animation puts Itachi at about 8 years older than his younger brother, Sasuke.
- On Naruto chapter 225, page 21 it is clearly stated that Sasuke's revenge on his brother took 9 years. We know for a fact that Sasuke is about 16 years old at this time. That means Itachi murdered the clan when Sasuke was about 16-9 = 7 years old. This makes sense, because this is when Itachi started, and graduated from the academy. This also appears to be the age represented within the story.
- Naruto chapter 345, page 9 we see Orochimaru and Itachi have a small fight shortly after Itachi joins the Akatsuki. During part 1, it is stated that "we have not met like this in 7 years, ever since Orochimaru left". Orochimaru of course left, because he failed to get Itachi's body. Later, in part 2 Orochimaru is killed by Sasuke, and the akatsuki comment on the fact he left the organization 10 years ago. That means sasuke is about 7 when Orochimaru left, and about 16 when he killed Orochimaru.
- According to the databook Itachi appears as 17-18 in part 1. That means he dispatched of a sanin 7 years ago at the age of 18-7 = 11. That is nearly nonsensical in itself, but there is much more. When he joins the Akatsuki Orochimaru mentions that "this is the Uchiha that killed his entire clan". Problem is we know he was in the leaf until he was at least 13 years old.
- Another issue with Itachi's listed age is the 3rd Great Shinobi war. Kakashi was a jounin at the age of 13. If Kakashi and Itachi are 9 years apart in age, as the databook suggest, then Itachi would have only been 4 years at the end of the war. Clearly not old enough to even be aware of a war. Yet, according to the story he was incredibly distraught by it, and became an extreme pacifist because of it. Now if we increase his age by 3 years, then this becomes perfectly plausible.
- When the kyuubi attacks and Naruto is born, you can see an image of Itachi holding and taking care of his newly born brother. You don't let a four year old baby take care of a newborn baby.
- The final piece of evidence is the character animations and voice acting. It is easy to make a small mistake on a databook you do after the fact, but it is quite difficult to portray the age of your characters so incorrectly. As we can clearly see within the anime and manga, itachi faces off against Orochimaru as a young man of about 16-17, and no a small boy of 11.
- Now what if Itachi did defeat Orochimaru at 11 and there was about a 8 year gap in Itachi and Sasuke's age? If Itachi was 11 years old, then Sasuke was 3 when they died. We know from the above sources this isn't possible. That means if there is an age gap of about 8 years, then it was impossible for Itachi to have beaten Orochimaru at 11.
- —This unsigned comment was made by Mysticjbyrd (talk • contribs) .
- Okay, to start this off, I've looked at each part of your explaination and I can't seem to find the first part. It's probably because of the different manga translations that we're using but chapter 225 doesn't have 21 pages, nor is there a part in the one I was looking at that mentioned 7 years. It is the original Naruto, correct? When Sasuke and Naruto were fighting and Sasuke was having the flashback?
- I did find where they mention it being 7 years since they had met like that. I will admit that there is a weird problem with that part that should put Itachi around 20 in Part 1 instead of 17-18 (at least for it to make sense).
- I will admit the age is weird for the War but you can be traumatized that early on. He might have seen people died/dying in a hospital or whatever (don't take this too seriously. I'm just trying to point of that you can traumatize anyone). You also have to remember that he was mentioned to have knowledge and understanding beyond his years, so he might have understood quite a bit and the shock made him hate fighting.
- Four years old is not a baby. By the time a child is 4, they've already learned quite a bit and can usually do things on their own. The village is in a war and Itachi might have been the only person they could get to take care of Sasuke at the time.
- They've always made Itachi look/sound older than he actually is. Thanks to the lines below his eyes, he could easily pass for 20 or so in the first part. I think that's what they were going for since it was stated that he had wisdom on par with a Hokage at 7 years old (chapter 619. Mangastream's translation has it on page 12). It's kind of hard to make someone seem worldly/wise if they look like a teenage and have a cracky voice. Joshbl56 13:09, August 11, 2013 (UTC)
Dudes, both of you got so many things wrong I don't even know where to start... Itachi indeed was 11 when he defeated Orochimaru and the massacre took place when he was 13. It's not a contradiction, the massacre was to have taken place about the time he killed Shisui but Hiruzen postponed it by negotiating. Also Kakashi didn't become a Jounin at 13 for the millionth time.--Elveonora (talk) 14:13, August 11, 2013 (UTC)
- Elve, he couldn't have defeated Orochimaru while in Akatsuki when he was 11 because the massacre happened when he was 13. The page for Orochimaru already mentions that Itachi joined after the massacre, which is where that is coming from. Joshbl56 14:48, August 11, 2013 (UTC)
Direct Quotes from both Itachi Uchiha's page (the first one) and Orochimaru's page (the second one):
|Itachi subsequently joined Akatsuki in order to keep an eye on the organisation
|However, when Itachi Uchiha joined Akatsuki after conducting the Uchiha clan massacre,...
Going by the translation from starkana:
|He decided, all on his own, to commit a crime he would never be forgiven for, left his village... and joined Akatsuki to protect his village from the inside.
If we have a quote from someone trusted on the site, it would be better but these are the ones I found. Joshbl56 15:18, August 11, 2013 (UTC)
Yes, my bad. I will postpone the edits until I find the things in archives.--Elveonora (talk) 15:32, August 11, 2013 (UTC)
http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Talk:Itachi_Uchiha/Archive_4#Itachi.27s_Timeline here, this is only one of many topics about this. Every ended in conclusion that he was 11. On top of that, there's even more evidence thanks to Kabuto. He was 14 when Oro "saved" him and then they joined Akatsuki, hence 10 years ago. Itachi died as 21, 21-10=11 ... no problem--Elveonora (talk) 15:39, August 11, 2013 (UTC)
- That timeline is based on the incorrect info in the databook. Its no better than this article. That is the only way to get an age of Itachi. Itachi was closer to 16. There are multiple obvious contradictions in the story if you assume Itachi was 11 at the time. Not one of them was addressed! You can't repeatedly misrepresent the age of the character through art and voice acting on 2 completely different mediums! That just isn't possible! Also, don't say he was drawing kids, when the whole first part of the series was 12 year old kids! Mysticjbyrd (talk) 05:13, August 12, 2013 (UTC)
- Unless you can find a source outside of the Databook that can verify his age from the databook is correct, then the only logical conclusion is to assume the databook age is wrong! —This unsigned comment was made by Mysticjbyrd (talk • contribs) .
- First of all, do not delete my post (or anyone else). That's extremely rude and is considered vandalism. Also, please remember to add 4 ~ to the end of your post so we know who you are. Secondly, most of the info on the characters usually come from the databooks. All we were trying to do was fix things up to make the databooks make sense, since it comes from Kishi directly. Joshbl56 05:08, August 12, 2013 (UTC)
- I deleted forum chatter. This isn't a forum! I proved beyond a questionable doubt that the databook is wrong. If you believe the data book to be a holy scripture that is infallible, then there is no point in you being involved in this discussion. That is a very narrow minded view however! I am hoping someone will see reason, and correct an obvious mistake. Again, unless you can find a source outside of the Databook that can verify his age from the databook is correct, then the only logical conclusion is to assume the databook age is wrong. Mysticjbyrd (talk) 05:12, August 12, 2013 (UTC)
- Just because it could be forum chatter doesn't mean you have the right to delete it. The post in question were not forum chat as 1. We were talking about his looks for his age, something even you commented on. and 2. It was also about editing articles. You need to stop deleting other peoples comments.
- I never said the databooks were the 'holy scripture'. The fact that I said the age seemed off earlier (remember my comment about how he should be around 20 in the first part?) means that I don't see it some infallible text but instead as a basis for information on a character. Itachi's age has been discussed before and all I was doing was putting my 2 cent in. Joshbl56 05:26, August 12, 2013 (UTC)
- Wait, so you agree it is wrong? Why are you arguing against changing it? Actually, now that I look at the story on the main page, the whole story has been altered to accommodate this inconsistency with his age. Thw whole thing needs a massive overhaul!Mysticjbyrd (talk) 05:28, August 12, 2013 (UTC)
- We go with the databooks. If the databook says he's an age, that's what we use. That's the end of it. ~ Ten Tailed Fox 05:42, August 12, 2013 (UTC)
- Who is we? Sorry, but the information has been proven beyond a reasonable doubt to be false. —This unsigned comment was made by Mysticjbyrd (talk • contribs) .
- I'm arguing with you because there are holes in your theory. The link Elv posted has quite a bit about his age at that point and even mentioning him being 11 and in Akatsuki. Read through it before deleting my post. Joshbl56 05:51, August 12, 2013 (UTC)
- A wiki article that uses this wiki, or more precisely the Databook, as the primary source. Is that a joke? Odd, you have failed to refute any argument.
- I'm not arguing it. Josh you shouldn't argue it either. Policy on this wiki states that we do not, under any circumstances, speculate (using math and a bunch of circumstantial evidence to guess an age) on age, especially when Kishi has flat out given us an age in a databook. It remains with what the databook says, until the manga, or another databook says otherwise. Period. You can argue it until you're blue in the face, but we're going to take a written out age from the author himself, over fan math that was configured via circumstantial evidence (when you yourself said that there is no standard for judging age in an earlier post) anyday, anytime. ~ Ten Tailed Fox 05:54, August 12, 2013 (UTC)
- I am not trying to be rude, but to assume a source is infallible is moronic. Kishimoto just guesstimated an age himself without taking the facts into consideration. Databooks are nothing more than filler for the manga. It could of easily even been a typo! To assume the source is infallible is ridiculous! 06:00, August 12, 2013 (UTC)
- Kishi is the author of this series. Are you trying to say that you know Itachi's true age, and Kishi doesn't? Don't be absurd. Kishi wrote an age, and that's what we record. Its as simple as that. ~ Ten Tailed Fox 06:02, August 12, 2013 (UTC)
- I am saying it is an error. Unless you think Kishi is a supernatural being, then the phrase to err is human applies to him as well. I have seen publications of numerous textbooks in my time as a professor and student, and you can always find errors even in extremely late editions. The sort of mentality you are portraying is not one of someone who should be involved in academia or managing an encyclopedia of knowledge. Mysticjbyrd (talk) 06:06, August 12, 2013 (UTC)
- Right. Come to me and claim to be a professor when you can get your grammar correct. Secondly, I don't know if you've noticed, but we're not in Harvard. Thirdly, I'm done arguing this now, so you can comment after this until you're blue in the face. This is the policy of our wiki. There are multiple flaws in your process, one of which is assuming that your model is the correct one, and not Kishi's, and therefore, our policy is to take Kishi's word over the math done by a random fan that has popped up out of nowhere. Good day to you. ~ Ten Tailed Fox 06:10, August 12, 2013 (UTC)
So in a nutshell, what you propose is that your personal opinion and subjective logic > canon. Sorry, but that's not how things work. Just because you find X absurd doesn't make it false or in reverse, just because you believe something because it makes sense to you doesn't make it true. There's no contradiction at all. Even if you ignore the databooks altogether, he is still the same age. Tobi himself stated in manga Itachi to have been barely 4 years old during 3rd Shinobi World War. 4+17=21 unless I fail at basic math.
In case you would be able to point out a contradiction between the manga and databooks, only then will it be taken into consideration, but you are yet to besides your bias on the subject. The Kabuto timeline also proves he was 11, so either refute facts or get lost--Elveonora (talk) 11:39, August 12, 2013 (UTC)
- I always laugh when fans try to act like they've written the story and that they know more about it than even Kishi-sensei when it comes to statistics on the wiki. :lol: --Speysider Talk Page | My Image Uploads | Tabber Code | Channel 11:45, August 12, 2013 (UTC)
May you please stop vandalizing the page?--Elveonora (talk) 18:39, August 16, 2013 (UTC)

GREENVILLE, N.C. - East Carolina junior defensive end Terrell Stanley, who was seriously injured during an automobile accident Feb. 12, will be sidelined during the 2014 season according to an announcement from head football coach Ruffin McNeill on Thursday.
While Stanley has demonstrated continued progress during his rehabilitation process, McNeill fully supported the decision after monitoring routine follow-up medical evaluations and engaging in discussions with the family.
"Terrell has come a long way and we admire his determination to return to battle, but he's not ready to be in a position to fairly compete at the level he needs to be," McNeill said. "His full recovery and health are our first priority, as it would be with any of our players. We're looking forward to him getting back to full strength and joining us in the spring."
The South Brunswick High School product started 12 of 13 games as a sophomore for the Pirates during the 2013 season and stood among the top 10 tacklers with 46 stops. He also ranked second on the unit with 7.0 sacks and was third with 10.0 tackles for lost yardage to earn All-Conference USA (honorable mention) honors.
McNeill said he would assist Stanley in seeking an extension of the NCAA's five-year eligibility clock after his senior season in 2015 if there is an interest pursuing that option at the time. Stanley was redshirted during his true freshman campaign in 2011.

**GRANT DUE** Macy Faculty Scholar Program
Date: Wednesday, March 6th, 2013
Location: -
Title Macy Faculty Scholar Program
Agency The Josiah Macy Jr. Foundation
Eligibility The program supports nursing and medical school faculty who are committed to careers in health professional education, have served for more than five years on the faculty of the sponsoring school, and have shown promise as future leaders.
Due March 6
Duration 2 years
Budget Up to five awards of $100,000 (plus fringe) per year.
Summary In order for educational innovation in nursing and medicine to occur in a thoughtful and robust way, creative faculty members devoted to educational reform must be nurtured, and their ideas need to have incubators for development. The pressures on medical school and nursing school faculty to carry out clinical and research responsibilities have made it difficult for many who would like to pursue careers as educators and to become leaders in educational reform. This program will allow faculty to create innovative healthcare education reform by supporting: 1. Interprofessional education to promote team work and interprofessional collaboration. 2. New models of clinical education that emphasize longitudinal, integrated experiences with patients, families, and faculty. 3. New content in health professional curricula such as quality improvement, patient safety, systems analysis, health economics, and the social determinants of health. 4. Education of health professionals to care for underserved populations, including addressing the need for more primary care providers. 5. Programs to diversify the health professional workforce so that it more closely matches across many dimensions the populations to be served. 6. Domestic programs that promote an understanding of global health.
Contact Sage Research Institute (email@example.com)
This event occurs on:
- Wednesday, March 6th, 2013
- Thursday, March 6th, 2014
