Sybill Trelawney's first prophecy
this wiki
- "The one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord approaches ... born to those who have thrice defied him, born as the seventh month dies ... and the Dark Lord will mark him as his equal, but he will have power the Dark Lord knows not ... and either must die at the hand of the other for neither can live while the other survives ... the one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord will be born as the seventh month dies ..."
- —Prophecy made to Albus Dumbledore by Sybill Trelawney
- Albus Dumbledore: "The thing that smashed was merely the record of the prophecy kept by the Department of Mysteries. But the prophecy was made to somebody, and that person has the means of recalling it perfectly."
- Harry Potter: "Who heard it?"
- Albus Dumbledore: "I did. On a cold, wet night sixteen years ago, in a room above the bar at the Hog's Head Inn. I had gone there to see an applicant for the post of Divination teacher, though it was against my inclination to allow the subject of Divination to continue at all. The applicant, however, was the great-great-granddaughter of a very famous, very gifted Seer, and I thought it common politeness to meet her. I was disappointed. It seemed to me that she had not a trace of the gift herself. I told her, courteously I hope, that I did not think she would be suitable for the post. I turned to leave."
- — Albus Dumbledore recalling the night the prophecy was made, shortly before hearing Trelawney making the prophecy through the Pensieve[src]
The prophecy in question made to Albus Dumbledore by Sybill Trelawney and foretold the coming of a boy who would have the power to vanquish Lord Voldemort. The prophecy was made while Trelawney was giving an interview to Dumbledore for the post of Divination teacher at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Dumbledore, who was disappointed at the performance she gave during the interview, was about to leave when she went into a trance and made the prophecy. During the prophecy, Trelawney specified that the requirements for the boy of prophecy who was capable to (but not necessary would) defeat the Dark Lord were the following:
- He was male.
- He is born in the closing days of July of 1980, the year that the prophecy was made.
- His parents had defied Voldemort three times and lived to tell about it.
- He would have a power that Voldemort was unable or unwilling to comprehend.
- If more than one person was born that met the requirements, Voldemort himself would choose to whom it would ultimately refer.
Severus Snape, who at the time was working for Voldemort, was caught eavesdropping on Trelawney and Dumbledore by the owner of the Hog's Head and was subsequently thrown out of the pub. Snape then returned to Voldemort to tell him what he had heard.
Voldemort's reaction
- "Voldemort tried to kill you when you were a child because of a prophecy made shortly before your birth. He knew the prophecy had been made, though he did not know its full contents. He set out to kill you when you were still a baby, believing he was fulfilling the terms of the prophecy. He discovered, to his cost, that he was mistaken, when the curse intended to kill you backfired. And so, since his return to his body, and particulalrly since your extraordinary escape from him last year, he has been determined to hear that prophecy in its entirety. This is the weapon he has been seeking so assiduously since his return: the knowledge of how to destroy you"
- —Albus Dumbledore to Harry Potter shortly after the Battle of the Department of Mysteries[src]
As Snape was apprehended by Aberforth Dumbledore before the full prophecy could be made, only part of the prophecy was reported to Voldemort. Voldemort knew that there were two boys that met the requirements of the prophecy: Aside from Harry Potter, the other was Neville Longbottom, who was born on on July 30th, 1980, to a pair of Aurors who, like James and Lily Potter, had directly defied Voldemort on three separate occasions.
- "He chose the boy he thought most likely to be a danger to him. He chose, not the pure-blood (which according to his creed, is the only kind of wizard worth being or knowing), but the half-blood like himself. He saw himself in you before he had ever seen you, and in marking you with that scar, he did not kill you, as he intended, but gave you powers, and a future, which have fitted you to escape him not once, but four times so far -- something that neither your parents, nor Neville's parents, ever achieved."
- —Albus Dumbledore on Voldemort's decision to "mark Harry as his equal"[src]
However, Voldemort chose Harry as his target, who was, like himself, a half-blood, rather than the pure-blooded Neville. Voldemort chose Harry as he believed Harry was the most danger to him and he saw himself in Harry before even seeing him. He marked him with a lighting-bolt scar and did not kill him, but gave Harry powers, and a future, which have allowed Harry to escape Voldemort four times, something neither Harry's parents or Neville's parents ever achieved.
Shocked by Voldemort's decision, Snape hastened to Dumbledore and explained that Voldemort had come to the conclusion that the Potters' child was his would-be vanquisher, and had vowed to kill him. Snape also confessed his longtime love for Harry's mother, Lily, and offered Dumbledore his loyalty in exchange for her protection. Snape was now loyal to two masters, who were enemies.
Death of the Potters
- Lily: "Not Harry, please no don't kill him, take me, kill me instead —"
- Lord Voldemort: "This is my last warning —"
- Lily: "Not Harry! Please ... have mercy ... Not Harry! Please — I'll do anything..."
- — Lily Evans stands between Lord Voldemort and her son.[src]
Harry was protected from Voldemort's killing curse because Lily had sacrificed herself to save Harry, imbuing him with a charm that prevented Voldemort from harming him due to Lily's love for her son. Dumbledore furthered this magic by sending Harry to live with his aunt and uncle, because while at 4 Privet Drive Harry's blood protection from Lily would be preserved, as the blood lives on in both him and Lily's sister, Petunia Dursley, Lily's only known biological relative. Despite Dumbledore explaining all this on a letter to Petunia, Petunia never treated Harry as her own son, and she and her husband abused Harry and made his life as miserable as possible. Despite this, as long as Harry returned to Privet Drive once a year, he would still be protected.
Destruction of the Prophecy Record
- Lucius: "Haven't you always wondered what was the reason for the connection between you and the Dark Lord. Why he was unable to kill you when you were just an infant. Don't you want to know the secret, of your scar. All of the answers are there, Potter, in your hand. All you have to do is give it to me, I can show you everything. "
- Harry: "I've waited fourteen years..."
- Lucius: "I know."
- Harry: "Think I can wait a little longer. NOW!"
- — Lucius Malfoy forcing Harry to give the Prophecy in the Battle of the Department of Mysteries[src]
Voldemort was hardly going to walk straight into the Ministry of Magic when they were so conveniently pretending he hadn't returned. Instead he planted a vision in Harry's mind of Voldemort torturing Sirius Black, counting on Harry to go and save his godfather. Sure enough, Harry, joined by Ron, Hermione, Neville, Ginny, and Luna to the Ministry of Magic in order to save Sirius, but when they got there they discovered Sirius was nowhere to found. Ron, however, found the Prophecy with Harry's name on it. It read:
- S.P.T to A.P.W.B.D
- Dark Lord
- and (?) Harry Potter
S.P.T are the initials of Sybill Patricia Trelawney, and A.P.W.B.D are the initials of Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore. A question mark (?) was placed on the prophecy because at that time, the identity of the boy who would defy Lord Voldemort was still not entirely certain. When, however, Voldemort's downfall was brought upon after his attack on Harry Potter, the record of the prophecy was changed by the employees of the Department of Mysteries (known as Unspeakables) so that Harry's name was shown.
However, the Death Eaters lay in wait until he had done so and then gave chase through the Department of Mysteries, attempting to take the Prophecy from him. It was eventually smashed during a skirmish during the Battle of the Department of Mysteries taking place in the Death Chamber when it fell from Neville's pocket and Neville accidentally kicked and smashed it.
Harry's reactionHarry Potter and Albus Dumbledore are the only two people who know the full contents of the prophecy. As the prophecy was made to Dumbledore, he had a memory of Trelawney telling it to him and thus could show it to Harry by means of his Pensieve. Harry soon realizes that this prophecy is the catalyst for everything that ever happened to him, that the reason he had a scar, the reason he could speak to snakes, the reason he had no parents, and the reason he shares a connection with Voldemort's mind is because Voldemort was trying to circumvent this prophecy in order to destroy the only one who could defeat him.
Despite being the reason for his past, however, Harry also realized that the prophecy greatly affects his future: the part of it saying "Neither can live while the other survives" means that either he or Voldemort must kill the other in the end. Despite this, Dumbledore makes it clear to him that it is not entirely because of the prophecy that Harry would try to defeat Voldemort, it is because of the type of person Harry is that he would not rest until he had defeated the person who killed his parents, Cedric Diggory, and countless others. In fact, the prophecy does not mean he has to do anything, but Voldemort sets store by the prophecy by marking Harry as his equal when he tried to kill him, as tyrants such as Voldemort are always afraid of those they oppress. Though Harry told Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger what the prophecy meant, he never told them its contents word for word.
- Albus Dumbledore: "Harry, never forget that what the prophecy says is only significant because Voldemort made it so. I told you this at the end of last year. Voldemort singled you out as the person who would be most dangerous to him -- and in doing so, he made you the person who would be most dangerous to him!"
- Harry Potter: "But it comes to the same --"
- Albus Dumbledore: "No, it doesn't! You are setting too much store by the prophecy!"
- Harry Potter: "But, but you said the prophecy means --"
- Albus Dumbledore: "If Voldemort had never heard of the prophecy, would it have been fulfilled? Would it have meant something? Of course not! Do you think every prophecy in the Hall of Prophecy has been fulfilled?"
- Harry Potter: "But, but last year, you said one of us would have to kill the other --"
- Albus Dumbledore: "Harry, Harry, only because Voldemort made a grave error and acted on Professor Trelawney's words! If Voldemort had never murdered your father, would he have imparted in you a furious desire for revenge? Of course not! If he had not forced your mother to die for you, would he have given you a magical protection he could not penetrate? Of course not, Harry! Don't you see? Voldemort himself created his worst enemy, just as tyrants everywhere do! Have you any idea how much tyrants fear the people they oppress? All of them realise that, one day, amongst their many victims, there is sure to be one who rises against them and strikes back! Voldemort is no different! Always he was on the lookout for the one who would challenge him. He heard the prophecy and he leapt into action, with the result that he had not only handpicked the man most likely to finish him, he handed him uniquely deadly weapons!"
- — Harry and Dumbledore discussing the prophecy[src]
After Harry heard the full prophecy in Dumbledore's Office, he had to live with the knowledge that he would have to kill Voldemort in the end. Rumours also were let slip to the Daily Prophet about what the battle in the Ministry was centered on, leading to Harry being called "The Chosen One" in the newspapers. Indeed, Harry was the "The Chosen One" because Voldemort chose to believe that the prophecy was talking about Harry, the half-blood like himself and thus his equal. Harry survived the Killing Curse because his mother sacrificed her life for him and gave him a protection from Voldemort until he comes of age (at 17). The so-called Chosen One either had to destroy Voldemort, or be destroyed by Voldemort. Along with Dumbledore, Harry unraveled the secret of Voldemort's Horcruxes, objects in which pieces of Voldemort's soul were hidden so as to make him immortal, which were the keys to defeating him once and for all. Harry knew that the prophecy meant he was the only one who could stop Voldemort, only he had the ability to vanquish the Dark Lord and that it was up to him to finish the Horcrux hunt after Albus Dumbledore died and end Voldemort's reign of terror.
- Albus Dumbledore: "By attempting to kill you, Voldemort himself singled out the remarkable person who sits here in front of me, and gave him the tools for the job! It is Voldemort's fault that you were able to see into his thoughts, his ambitions, that you even understand the snakelike language in which he gives orders, and yet, Harry, despite your privileged insight into Voldemort's world (which, incidentally, is a gift any Death Eater would kill to have), you have never been seduced by the Dark Arts, never, even for a second, shown the slightest desire to become one of Voldemort's followers!"
- Harry Potter: "Of course I haven't! He killed my mum and dad!"
- Albus Dumbledore: "You are protected, in short, by your ability to love! The only protection that can possibly work against the lure of power like Voldemort's! In spite of all the temptation you have endured, all the suffering, you remain pure of heart, just as pure as you were at the age of eleven, when you stared into a mirror that reflected your heart's desire, and it showed you only the way to thwart Lord Voldemort, and not immortality or riches."
- — Albus Dumbledore and Harry Potter discussing the impact of the prophecy on Harry's life.[src]
Dumbledore explained to Harry that by attempting to kill Harry, Voldemort himself singled out the only person who would be able to defeat him, and thus it was a grave error on his part to act as Trelawney said. Not all prophecies are fulfilled, and so it was because of Voldemort that the prophecy of someone being able to vanquish the Dark Lord came true. Furthermore, Voldemort handed Harry the necessary weapons for the job. Voldemort also discovered, after the Battle of the Department of Mysteries, that it caused him excruciating agony to try to possess Harry because Harry is full of love. Voldemort didn't understand this, as in his haste to mutilate his soul to create Horcruxes he never paused to think about the power of an untarnished, whole, and loving soul.
- Harry Potter: "But sir, it all comes to the same thing, doesn't it? I've got to try and kill him, or --"
- Albus Dumbledore: "Got to? Of course you've got to! But not because of the prophecy! Because you, yourself, will never rest until you've tried! We both know it! Imagine, please, just for a moment, that you've never heard of the prophecy! How would you feel about Voldemort now? Think!"
- Harry Potter: "I'd want him finished. And I'd want to do it."
- Albus Dumbledore: "Of course you would! You see, the prophecy does not mean you have to do anything! But the prophecy caused Lord Voldemort to mark you as his equal...in other words, you are free to choose your way, quite free to turn your back on the prophecy! But Voldemort continues to put store by the prophecy. He will continue to hunt you...which makes it certain, really, that--"
- Harry Potter: "That one of us is going to end up killing the other."
- Albus Dumbledore: "Yes."
- — Harry and Dumbledore talking about the final duel Harry is destined to fight[src]
Behind the scenes
- In the film adaptation of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, the Prophecy reads:
- "The one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord approaches...and the Dark Lord shall mark him as his equal but he shall have power the Dark Lord knows not...For neither can live while the other survives...."
- Incidentally, the prophecy makes no mention of the Dark Lord's vanquisher being born in July. However, in Deathly Hallows: Part 2, Dumbledore says that the prophecy refers to a boy born at the end of July, despite that part not being part of the record seen in the fifth film.
- In Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, Dumbledore indirectly mentions this prophecy, as he said that the prophecy about Peter Pettigrew returning to his master was the second prophecy Trelawney had made.

Tysons Corner has seen its share of growth in 70
years, but the area's name has stuck around -
until possibly now.
Hank Silverberg, wtop.com
TYSONS CORNER, Va. – Seventy years ago, the intersection of Route 7 and Route 123 in Northern Virginia wasn't much more than dirt. Tyson's Corner Store, which was located there, gave the area its name.
That intersection has seen its share of growth since then, but the area's name has stuck around – until possibly now.
With Tysons Corner undergoing renovations and renewal, developers and Fairfax County leaders are contemplating dropping the word "Corner" from the name. But will it make a difference?
"They know Tysons Corner. Will it be a big deal if it's now called Tysons?" says Gerald Gordon, president of the Fairfax County Economic Development Authority.
"Your guess is as good as anybody's."
Tysons Corner does not even have its own ZIP code, sharing one with Vienna on one side and McLean on the other. But the area is transforming from a place "where the stores are" – a slogan of the huge Tysons Corner Center – into what Fairfax County leaders hope will be a walkable urban center with four Metro stations, wide sidewalks and thousands of new residents.
People shopping at a local strip mall, in the shadow of one of the new Silver Line Metro stations under construction, didn't seem particularly fussy over its name.
"I just pretty much call it Tysons anyway, so it wouldn't bother me," says Julie Calabreise.
Her friend, Zachory Lem, agreed.
"We're used to Tysons because our office is known as the Tysons office, not the Tysons Corner office, and a lot of people get confused now already," he says.
There is also debate over a new slogan to go with the shortened name.
Should it be "Tysons, 'the' new downtown" or "Tysons, 'a' new downtown"?
"That's kind of hip," Tonya Nepper, who also was having lunch at the strip mall, says of the two options.
Gordon says the debate could have been very different. He says Mr. Tyson eventually sold his store to a Mr. Smith, who never changed the name.
Otherwise, officials could be debating whether to call the area "Smith."

There's no way I'd commit to a volume this expensive ($15 a pop) and this long (just got my 24th volume today) unless it's the best; hands down, Berserk is the BEST. What I mean by this, is that the author does all the work himself and commits to slaughtering no less than 100 men per volume yet manages to keep my interest with an intriguing story. Let's keep this in mind as I'm not saying that everyone should stop what they're doing and sprint to their closest book store and buy the first volume of this work. For those whom are unaware, this series has extremely mature oriented themes but they are all relevant to the story and it isn't happening for the sake of shock value.
Keep in mind about spoiling the series either the anime or manga because that can really kill it for someone who hasn't been following Berserk. The anime does follow the manga pretty faithfully (minus one or two side jokes) so I'd recommend watching it; however, be warned that you're in for a somewhat unsatisfying ending. It's this ending that left me craving for more of the story, and I wasn't disappointed in the equally entertaining manga.
Fans? Haters? Let's hear it.

Arctic Natural Sciences
14-584 Program Solicitation
A revised version of the NSF Proposal & Award Policies & Procedures Guide (PAPPG) (NSF 16-1), is
effective for proposals submitted, or due, on or after January 25, 2016. Please be advised that, depending
on the specified due date, the guidelines contained in NSF 16-1 may apply to proposals submitted in response to this
funding opportunity.
The Arctic Natural Sciences (ANS) Program supports disciplinary and interdisciplinary research on arctic processes and phenomena, with particular emphasis on understanding the changing arctic environment. The Program encourages proposals that test hypotheses leading to new understanding of the Arctic and the development of predictive tools. Although proposals to perform monitoring per se are discouraged, the program welcomes proposals that utilize the data generated by the Arctic Observing Network to advance scientific understanding of the Arctic.
Proposals submitted to the ANS program should focus on arctic processes; proposals to examine generic processes that could be studied outside the Arctic are more appropriate to other programs within the Foundation. ANS co-reviews proposals relevant to arctic processes that are submitted to many other programs in, among others, the Directorates for Geosciences; Mathematical and Physical Sciences; Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences; and Biological Sciences. ANS also formally participates in several cross-foundation competitions each year (recent examples include Paleo Perspectives on Climate Change, SEES Earth System Modeling, and SEES Ocean Acidification). Arctic proposals that are suitable for review within these special competitions must be submitted directly to these competitions rather than to ANS; prospective PIs are encouraged to contact the ANS program directors, prior to proposal submission, with questions about the appropriate "home" for their proposals. Proposals submitted to this solicitation, but which could have been submitted to a special competition, will be returned without review. Individual PIs may be listed as PI, co-PI, or senior personnel on no more than a total of two proposals submitted to the ANS annual competition. They may be lead PI on only one of these two proposals.
Areas of special interest include marine and terrestrial ecosystems, arctic atmospheric and oceanic dynamics and climatology, arctic geological and glaciological processes, and their connectivity to lower latitudes. Within these areas, some clarification of ANS priorities follows. ANS supports projects that emphasize understanding of arctic ecology, especially in the context of a rapidly changing arctic environment. Terrestrial and marine geology and geophysics projects of greatest interest are those that will improve interpretations of the geologic record of environmental change in the Arctic, particularly during the Quaternary. Projects that focus on all naturally occurring forms of arctic snow and ice, including seasonal snow, glaciers, and the Greenland ice sheet, are supported. Understanding the processes responsible for the evolution of permafrost and consequences of changing permafrost remains a priority, as well. The Program supports ocean science projects that advance knowledge of the processes of the Arctic Ocean and adjacent seas and their interactions with and across their boundaries. The development of sensors necessary to observe these processes is also supported by ANS. Given the breadth of research that ANS considers and supports, successful proposals are those that resonate both with disciplinary experts and with a diverse group of panelists who are asked to consider the relevance of each proposal to understanding the Arctic.

Where does all the money from the pavilions go?
Not one of the other groups has to submit their financial statements at the end of the year to the Government of Canada as does the Brandon Folk, Music and Art Society. Yet the Lieutenant Governor's Winter Festival turns away another group of volunteers? What a bunch of hypocrites! What a slap in the face to all the volunteers and visitors to the U.S.A. pavilion last year. Check some other pavilions out. Follow the money.

Good start so far with the usual Vellum's touch! Keep up the good work
Just another doodle here to play with stuff. No background material with this one. I ended up not liking the outer islands off the large island on the lower left. Screwed up the compass rose by not paying attention to what I was doing!! No real scale thought out. Dont like the borders, if I continue this one Ill probably have a changing border pattern to work out something I may like to reuse. The marsh / swamp area was intended to be a connection link between ocean bodies north and south, with marsh lake areas suitable for pirate hides, lizardmen villages, and other out of the way remote areas etc. The interior bay is supposed to be shallow water area, think a little deeper than the florida keys. As you can see I havent completed this one at all, dont know if I will. Thought I would post er up even tho this one has been a hard motivational issue for me.
Comments and suggestions on this are always welcome. As a matter of fact how about addressing how you kick start the motivational issues when you run into them!! Well I kinda know how Im gonna address this particular motivational issue, the wife says we are tearing out the kitchen!! So I may be sparse here for a bit LOL!!
Good start so far with the usual Vellum's touch! Keep up the good work
That is a lot of marsh! Or fen. Or whatever. I always have to remind myself of the differences between a bog/marsh/fen/swamp.
So are the lizardfolk organised or more tribal? Do they have their own "heraldry" or something similar? As it is such a dominant feature on the map I wonder if it could be incorporated too somehow like your heraldic shields are.
Y'know, in a way, I kind of like that compass rose better than if it was perfect. This one's got character and looks cool.
I think overall this map has a lot of potential; it's got a sort of Spanish Main vibe to it already. Don't discard it completely! If you're feeling less than motivated work on something else, but don't forget this one.
I think the whole point of drawing by hand is to create something that does not look perfect, and that gives it more integrity/realism. So yeah, this compass rose definitely has character, as does the border (one of my favourite bits). I didn't think of the Spanish main until Diamond mentioned it, but now, that idea really suits it.
There's something about the swamp. It looks good, but somehow wrong. It might be that swamps usually form along major rivers (I think)? or the fact that it ends rather abruptly (maybe stretch it along the coast for a while, so that it becomes really elongated)? or maybe something to do with all of those streams?
Like Diamond says, though, keep it up.
As for motivation, I've found that I make my best maps (and enjoy it the most) when there's some kind of story to tell. Otherwise you're just making pretty scribbles which have no practical function. That's why I invented Larithas Stone, to tell a story through maps. I don't know how you use these/why you draw them, but maybe this approach will give you that boost you're asking about.
I like that map. I just had to look very closely to get the error on the rose.
So yeah, put it aside, make your wife a nice kitchen, than come back and do it.
Motivation: Listen to your most liked music while drawing.
Well the spanish main idea (I guess I need to get rid of the viking ship )is kind of interesting, cause while I was playing with the swamp thing LOL I did think of Jean LaFitte . I the marsh / swamp / fen edge abruptness is something that bothered me and I will address this in two additional ways. 1. I will extend it outward in the nw / se direction to a more random outline. 2. I need to address the water inlet source issue which is missing at this point but I think I will add mountain / hill ranges also in the nw / se direction to get some flow lines for a major water source in both directions. Another thing which bothers me is the "relative straight line issue of the swamp coast lines. When I googled some sat shots of the florida everglades there where alot of projections out to barrier islands so to speak, which i have none of. This might be hard to "tweek" at this point.
Lizardmen heraldry? A croc maybe LOL I'll see if I can come up with something.
Kitchen update, man am I sore and all I did was empty cabinets and a closet to put all the crap yesterday LOL
Last edited by Vellum; 01-29-2013 at 10:26 AM.
Very small update, trying to get 15 minutes here and there while working on the kitchen. Kitchen is killing me, gonna need a vacation after its over LOL. I thought about drawing a map of the kitchen progress on the back side of a door, wife nixed the idea! Anyways added tad more border, some mountain range to the SE, added lakes to drain into swamp / fen etc to be able to enlarge it some and add irregularity. Minuscule coast line work.
Looking nice, dude. That border is something I'd NEVER have the patience to attempt.
What's that area of polka dots by the mountains? A city?
Small update is still an update Looking good so far

Generally when EN gets trendy is when some top player like worthing or lalandy or frozenstar spam it and win tons of games, then players see this and suddenly realize "Oh hey EN is really good wow!" and then it gets popularized. But if the top players don't spam something then people get unsure of how to play it and it doesn't get played.

|モロイ Moroi
|Volume #57, Naruto Chapter #536
|Naruto Shippūden Episode #275
|Appears in
|Anime, Manga
Moroi (モロイ, Moroi) is a shinobi from Kumogakure, and the Captain (班長, hanchō) of the Kumo Barrier Team.
Personality Edit
Moroi seems to be a very dramatic and confident person. This was seen when Naruto and B approached the barrier squad he shouted out that he'll report nothing but "mission accomplished" to headquarters. When they failed to restrain the two however, he still exclaimed that they had no choice but to report "mission failure" to headquarters before sulking.
Appearance Edit
Moroi is a tall, middle-aged shinobi with long, light-brown hair which flicks off to the left side of his face and a bristling moustache which curves upwards at the ends. He also has a large overbite with his top, central incisors being more prominent than the rest of his teeth. He wears the standard Kumogakure shinobi outfit along with a red cape which has a white ruffle in the middle.
Part II Edit
Fourth Shinobi World War: Confrontation Edit
Moroi was the captain (班長, hanchō) of the team that was responsible of the maintenance of the barrier that confined Killer B and Naruto Uzumaki to the Island Turtle. When he was notified by Iroha Hyūga of Naruto and later, B's approach he shouted out that it was time that they put the barrier they had worked so hard into action and that he'd report nothing but mission accomplished to headquarters. When the barrier was broken, his team-mate ask him what to report to headquarters and he emphatically said "mission failure!" and then proceeded to sulk over the fact that the two had teamed up.
Trivia Edit
- "Moroi" (モロイ) means "fragile".

Other STATIONS:
There is no journey that grips the imagination of the American people more profoundly that the trip from east to west. For three weeks in September, traveling in the same direction the tracks were laid, is a train carrying a band of artists, musicians, filmmakers, writers and social media mavens. For one week, VMAN went along for the ride.
There's a custom recording studio inside the Wisconsin Valley railcar, replete with musical instruments, mixing consoles and the latest Moog technology. When musicians walk through this car for the first time it's all gaped mouths and humbled hands. In the St. Croix Valley, a converted 1949 car is a video editing suite known as the Content Cave, where a crew works non-stop, cutting as the train cruises. Documentation and digital output is an integral part of Doug Aitken's vision for Station to Station: A Nomadic Happening.
Posted on the entrance to every car us a crowd release notice, although filming takes place on the balconies in between as well. There are HD camcorders, DSLRs and iPhones everywhere—but inside Mohave, the Levi's sponsored car, are four instruments from another era: there's a steampunk-looking typewriter from the turn of the century, a 8mm camcorder from 1953 finished in Morocco leather, a medium format camera with a retractable lens and a Gibson guitar from the fifties. Posters from the current Levi's campaign hang on the walls, proclaiming "The Future is Leaving," but these relics from the past are along for the ride. In keeping with the spirit of Station to Station however, these devices have been modernized and equipped with Wi-Fi. Each can upload content straight to social media without the use of screens, straddling the divide between digital and analogue.
"We wanted to create this experience of using a physical object to communicate in digital space," said Mark Kleback, the creative technologist responsible for these Frankenstein electronics whose output can be tracked by searching the hashtag #MakeOurMark on Instagram and Twitter.
"All of the devices post to social media," added Kleback. "We wanted the artists on the train to be able to post to their own accounts, so we have these wristbands with RFID [Radio-frequency identification] tags in them. You can go up to any device and scan it and it will log you into your account. For example, you can type on the typewriter and it will post to a general Twitter account or you can scan your bracelet and it will log you into your own personal account."
Stuck between stations, VMAN sat down with Kleback in a pair of butterfly chairs onboard the Mohave to learn more about each device.
Can you start by telling us about the design of the typewriter?
Mark Kleback It's a 1901 Underwood No. 5. We took apart the keys and inserted a circuit board that can allow them to be like computer keys. These tubes on the front to count down the characters from 140 so you know how many characters you have left. To do that we ordered these nixie tubes from Russia. They're really high voltage so it was kind of precarious working with them. They look like the tubes inside a guitar amplifier with numbers inside them. The aesthetic is really cool, it has this old technology meets new technology vibe, and it's my favorite looking piece out of the four.
The cameras were both converted from film to digital, can you talk about the technology integrated into each one?
MK The two cameras are a still camera and a video camera, they both post to Instagram. We used a small computer called a Raspberry Pi and a proprietary camera to do the photos and video, it's like a 10 megapixel camera. The still camera is a 1939 Graflex and it has a retractable lens. The 1953 Bolex B8 has two digits on the side that count down from 15 because Instagram video only allows for 15 second uploads. We also use the actually mechanical trigger in the Bolex to take the video, which is cool. We didn't want screens, we wanted everything to be very physical. There's lights telling you when you're recording—or when you're not recording, or when you're logged in, when you're not logged in—but you're recording through the viewfinder like an old camera and it will post either to our general account or to the user account. That's when you see, at the end, when it's already posted.
Those two are wireless. They are the only two that are modular, they can go off the train and they travel with mobile hotspots so there's always internet to upload to Instagram wherever they go. For the video and still camera, we built our own Instagram filters. You can select them with a physical slider on the cameras, so if someone wants to shoot in black and white or overexpose there are options for that.
How was the guitar fashioned to wirelessly record to SoundCloud?
MK The guitar's the most complex in that it's running a Mac mini in the background. We have a guitar pedal with a stomp switch on it and that records onto the Mac mini. It gets posted from there. The guitar is a 1953 Gibson ES-125 hollow-body, which is also from the fifties. On the guitar itself we didn't want to hack into the body at all because it's a really nice guitar, so the RFID scan is simply attached to the bridge and it wirelessly transmits the user to the Mac Mini with Bluetooth. We wanted people to be able to pick up the guitar, scan in and be able to record a piece of music that would get posted to SoundCloud.
All travel and expenses paid by Levi's.

The sales rep took the time to show me the different types of carpeting and their durability for my family's busy lifestyle. I just had my carpets done and they look great. The carpet installers where very helpful. They moved all my furniture and put down carpets in 4 bedrooms, a hallway, and stairs in 3 hours. I'm totally excited about my new carpets. I've had hardwood floors done by Empire too. I'm also going to have them install tiling in the kitchen in the future. I am more than satisfied with the work that was done. I can actually show my upstairs now.

Immoral Conduct , Not Tolerated
Published: Thursday, September 12, 2013 at 1:35 p.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, September 12, 2013 at 1:35 p.m.
"School System Could Restrict Employees' Romanic Relationships , a recent article in Star News certainly captured my attention . I am hopeful members of the Board of Education will hold all employees accountable not only for having a romantic relationship with a subordinate , but also for immoral conduct. The Board must send a message to central office staff , principals , teachers and students that immoral conduct will not be tolerated . What is immoral conduct ? I believe one generally accepted definition is living with or dating another before being legally seperated from your spouse. If this type of behavior is going on or has occurred among employees , most especially with subordinates, the Board should take action immediately to investigate. If found guilty the employees should be dismissed. There are state statues already in place giving the Board the authority to dismiss certain employees if they are found guilty of immoral conduct. Often Boards fail to take appropriate action because oftheir fear of lawsuits. I would certainly prefer my tax dollars be spent to defend what I consider to be the correct action rather than send a message our educators and staff we condone immorality. What a fiasco that would create! If the Board will take appropriate action maybe it will also silence some of the rumors that have been circulating. Zero tolerance should apply to everyone, not just the students.

If you've seen any commercials about lubricants, then you've probably seen at least one about pleasure enhancing lubricants. These are just like your regular lubricant, but they are made to increase your pleasure by giving you more sensations during sexual intercourse.
While this sounds amazing and many women really love it (and men too, since they love seeing their women in ecstasy), there are some problems that you might experience with these lubricants.
This article will explore the pros and cons so that you know what you are getting into before buying a pleasure enhancing lubricant.
Pro: Enhances Sexual Experience
Perhaps the biggest benefit is that these lubes are meant to enhance sexual stimulation. They can work if you are solo, or if you are with your boyfriend or spouse. Some have a static stimulation that doesn't change with intercourse, and some will increase the pleasure during intercourse. The fact is that these lubricants will give you some extra sensations that will make sex all the more enjoyable.
Most lubricants either cause tingling or a slight heating sensation, or they might do both. You may want to experience with different brands to see what sensation you like the best. Many women find this much more effective for reaching orgasm, and most say that these products will make sex more fun.
Con: Too Much Sensation
If you are the sensitive type that reacts to chemicals or if you don't like too much sensation, then you might want to watch out for pleasure enhancing lubricants. Many women find that using too much, or if the lubricant is too strong, that it can start to cause some pain. For example, the heating might become an unbearable burning.
You should experiment with these lubes before trying them out during sex. See how much you can take so that you know your tolerance. If the sensation is too much, then try using less to see if that helps. Remember: each brand has a different active ingredient that causes the extra pleasure, so you might hate one lubricant, but love another.
Pro: Nice Smells
Another benefit is that pleasure enhancing lubricants often have nice smells, such as mint and cinnamon, that can really enhance the pleasure of your lovemaking on an olfactory level.
If you've never experimented with scents, then you probably don't know that the right scents alone can make sex more enjoyable. Humans respond very well to scents and smells, and a nice smell (even without the sensation) is going to make the sex more memorable.
Like with the above points, you should experiment with different products to see which ones you like the most in terms of smell. While mint and cinnamon are common smells, there are many others that you can find that will improve your sex life.
Con: Might React
Aside from possibly being irritating, some pleasure enhancing lubricants have a tendency to chemically react with nearby chemicals and substances. For example, many women find that certain lubricants will react with their fingernail polish, causing it to melt or rub off. It may also stain certain materials and substances.
If you are worried about this, then consider speaking with the manufacturer about what to expect when using the lubricant, or just be careful to ensure that it doesn't touch certain substances that might cause a reaction.
There are many pros and cons to pleasure enhancing lubricants, and it really comes down to your unique body. It will definitely cause a sensation that many women love, but some people find that it causes too much sensation and it may become painful. It might also react to certain substances, but the smell will often improve your sex life. Try different brands, see what you like and find out if these lubricants are right for you.

USPS expecting record holiday season shipping volumes
November 09, 2012
Like the duopoly of UPS and FedEx, the United States Postal Service (USPS) is calling for a very active holiday shipping season, expecting 385 million packages to be shipped, which represents a 20 percent annual gain and would be a USPS record.
As was the case with recent announcements by UPS and FedEx, the USPS expects the surge in holiday shipping volumes to be largely driven by e-commerce, with about 18 million cards, letters, and packages expected to be delivered between Thanksgiving and New Year's Day.
And in terms of its busiest days during the holiday season, the USPS said that the busiest mailing day for holiday cards/packages is Monday, Dec. 17, when more than 655 million pieces of mail are expected to be processed—compared to 538 on an average day. The busiest delivery day for letters, said the USPS, will be Wednesday, Dec. 19 and the busiest day for packages will be Thursday, Dec. 20.
Shipping is a real bright spot at the Postal Service right now, and there's no question that it's going to play a pivotal role in the future financial health of post office, said Doug Caldwell, VP, EMEA, at AFMS.
"Somewhat surprisingly, the Postal Service is now the fastest growing U.S. carrier in terms of volume," he said. "With our sluggish economy, nearly all of the new volume is B2C, and that's where USPS is showing tremendous growth in spite of the economy. One of the key ingredients to that success is the much improved shipment tracking, which has shown significant improvements over the last 24 months, due in no small part to Jim Cochrane, who heads up the visibility team over there. The Postal Service is also rolling out their new Metro Mail same day delivery service in time for the holidays, which is set to go live in San Francisco next Monday."
This announcement comes at a time when the USPS still has a host of financial issues.
During the fiscal third quarter, the USPS incurred a net loss of $5.2 billion, compared to a $3.1 billion net loss for the same quarter in 2011. Factoring largely in the loss was $3.1 billion for the legislatively mandated prefunding of retiree health benefits, coupled with the continued decline of First-Class Mail volume, which it said more than offset the quarter's 9 percent growth in revenue from Shipping Services and package delivery.
USPS Shipping Services and package revenue totaled $3.3 billion in the third quarter, a 9 percent increase, on a volume increase of 43 million pieces, or 5.2 percent, the USPS said.
UPS and FedEx volumes: UPS said last month that it expects to deliver 527 million packages between Thanksgiving and Christmas this year, which would top last year's record 480 million. And it said that its busiest day of the year is expected to be Thursday, December 20, a day that UPS said it will deliver an estimated 28 million packages globally.
To put that number into better perspective, UPS said it is the equivalent of more than 300 packages being delivered per every second of that day, whereas on an average day, it delivers 15.8 million packages.
As for FedEx, the company said that it expects Monday, December 10 to be the busiest day in the company's history, expecting to move a projected 19 million shipments through its global ground, express, and freight networks, which would represent a ten percent annual increase.
Like its chief competitor, FedEx is pointing to e-commerce as the engine that will drive the FedEx Ground and FedEx SmartPost networks on "Green Monday," the second Monday of December and one of the most lucrative days of the year for retailers.

A police bribe is a pickup in the Grand Theft Auto series intended to eliminate the player's wanted level.
First introduced in Grand Theft Auto 1, the pickup is intended as an cost-free alternative to respraying the player's vehicle at a spray shop, although its scarcity makes the tactic more difficult unless the player memorizes their locations. Police bribe locations vary widely, with some showing up in obvious locations, while others are well hidden from plain view. Some require performing a jump in an automobile to reach, as they are positioned at a slight altitude, and inaccessible on-foot. The pickup is absent in both Grand Theft Auto IV and Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars, as revamped wanted level systems in these games render the bribe redundant.
2D Universe
In its first appearance in GTA 1, the bribe assumed the appearance of a spinning gold coin that will eliminate the whole of the player's present wanted level. In GTA 2, it appears as a rotating dollar-shaped pickup, with the same function as the GTA 1 pickup.
3D Universe
In 3D Universe games, the bribe appears as a rotating, star-shaped police badge pickup and will reduce the player's wanted level by one star when picked up; once the player obtains the bribe, his/her wanted level will be immediately reduced by one star. However, any higher-level police presence (SWAT or FBI for example) in the area prior to obtaining the bribe will continue to pursue the player (assuming a wanted level is still in place), but more of such vehicles will no longer appear. The one exception is the Police Maverick, which will disengage from pursuit of a player with a 3-star wanted level upon obtaining a police bribe (reducing their wanted level to 2 stars). In the GTA III era, some bribe stars are placed in positions that require the player to execute a jump with a vehicle in order to obtain it.

Located in downtown Hamburg - simultaneously Germany's second-largest metropolis and its greenest city - the Bucerius Law School offers international students a one-term Program in International and Comparative Business Law.
Hamburg is proud of its political autonomy as a city-state within the Federal Republic of Germany and as such, legal culture is central to life in Hamburg overall. Today Hamburg is host to many legal institutions of national and global significance, including the Hamburg state courts, the Max Planck Institute for Foreign and Comparative Law, and the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea.
As participants in the exchange program at Bucerius, AUWCL students will have access to all school facilities, including the library, computer and sports facilities. All Bucerius facilities (excluding the library cupola) are accessible to individuals with disabilities.
This program is offered only during the fall semester from September to December. At Bucerius, the fall semester is 12 weeks long including a 2-week exam period, and runs from early September to mid-December. During the week between the two sessions, exchange students will, as a group, go on a week-long program of excursions to culturally, historically and politically significant sites in Germany.
For exact program dates please see the Bucerius academic calendar.
Courses will be held in English and students are also welcome to sit in on regular classes, if their knowledge of German allows. In addition, two German language courses are offered.
Students will receive up to 12 credits towards their law degree. Only the credits and not the grades will transfer per ABA requirements. The acceptance of any credit or grade for any courses taken at the Bucerius Law School program, including externships and other clinical offerings, is subject to determination by the AUWCL Office of the Registrar.
Courses cover all main fields of German law and include the History of European Law, European Contract Law, as well as other courses taught from an international or comparative perspective. The following is a selection of courses offered in English. A more complete and up-to-date list is available on the Bucerius website.
