Fidel Castro: The Bay of Pigs Invasion & Cuban Missile Crisis Mr. Deal Western World History
Fidel Castro Castro took control of Cuba on January 1, 1959, when dictator Fulgenico Batista fled Cuba Relations between the U.S. and Cuba soon declined and in 1960, Castro took over U.S. oil refineries in Cuba Castro referred to the US as "the most hated country in the Americas".
U.S. / Cuba Relations Because Castro took over U.S. oil refineries in Cuba, the U.S. stopped buying Cuban sugar and Castro responded by taking over all U.S. businesses in Cuba – JFK bans all trade with Cuba. What is this called?
Bay of Pigs Invasion President Kennedy, angered by Castro's actions, authorized an attempt to overthrow the Cuban dictator in 1961 The U.S. planned and funded a landing by armed Cuban exiles on southern Cuba On April 17 th, about 1,500 exiles armed with U.S. weapons landed on the southern coast of Cuba at the Bay of Pigs. The exiles were hoping to find local support as they moved inland to Havana, but it became evident that they were not going to receive any support from citizens
Results of the invasion… The exiles were captured and 1,189 were tried and sentenced to 30 years in prison for treason After 20 months of negotiation with the U.S., Cuba released the exiles in exchange for $53 million in food & medicine The failed Bay of Pigs Invasion severely embarrassed the Kennedy administration and made Castro wary of future U.S. actions
Missiles in Cuba After the Bay of Pigs, Nikita Khrushchev offered to place nuclear missiles in Cuba and Castro agreed Castro was merely a pawn in the international chess match and Cuba was merely a playing field for Khrushchev Castro would have little effect on the outcome of the crisis and Cold War
Cuban Missile Crisis In October 1962, the World came very close to nuclear war The Soviets installed nuclear missiles in Cuba, just 90 miles off the coast of the U.S. Soviet Premier Khrushchev felt that JFK was a weak President, but felt threatened by the U.S. missiles in Turkey, just 150 miles from the USSR
ORTSAC Castro permitted the weapons because he was convinced the U.S. was serious about invading Cuba In 1962, there was a mock invasion of a Caribbean island by the U.S. armed forces to overthrow a fictitious dictator whose name was Ortsac. Ortsac was actually Castro spelled backwards!!!
Thirteen Days… On Monday, October 15 th, U-2 pilot Richard Heyser revealed SS-4 nuclear missiles in Cuba On October 16 th, Kennedy was informed of the missiles. His 12 most important advisors, known as Ex-Comm, convened Most of them supported an air strike followed by an invasion. No matter what happened, most expected Khrushchev to retaliate
Oct. 17 to Oct. 20 Kennedy, in order to maintain secrecy, followed his planned schedule of campaign trips to CT and the Midwest Another U-2 flight discovered SS-5 missiles, which could reach most of the U.S. On Sat., Oct. 20 th, Robert Kennedy called JFK in Chicago and told him to come home to meet with Ex- Comm. JFK told the press that he had an "upper respiratory infection" and he returned to Washington
Sunday Oct. 21 Kennedy asked the Air Force if they could take out the missiles, but they said there could be 10 to 20,000 casualties Kennedy then decided, with the advice of his brother, to set up a blockade around Cuba and told the press not to leak the information about the missiles in Cuba
Cuban Missile Crisis (Part II)
Monday October 22 On Monday evening, President Kennedy gave a speech to the United States to inform the nation that missiles were in Cuba
Tuesday Oct. 23rd The Organization of American States (OAS) unanimously approved the U.S. decision to "quarantine" Cuba (a blockade was an act of war) By the end of the day, U.S. ships at the quarantine line were prepared to "disable" any ship that failed to stop at that line
Wed. October 24th On Oct. 24 th, Soviet ships approached the quarantine line. Ex-Comm wondered if Khrushchev had enough time to instruct the ship captains Soviet ships stopped dead in the water after receiving a radio message from Moscow Dean Rusk (Secretary of State) – "We were eyeball to eyeball and the other guy just blinked"
Thursday October 25th Military alert was raised to DEFCON 2, the highest ever in U.S. history The military could, at any moment's notice, launch an attack on Cuba or the USSR
Friday Oct. 26th The U.S. Navy searched the Soviet ship Marcula and cleared it to Cuba when they found only paper products Ex-Comm received a letter from Khrushchev in reply to Kennedy's speech to the U.S. The Soviets would remove their missiles if Kennedy publicly guaranteed the U.S. would never invade Cuba Another U-2 flight showed the Soviets were trying to camouflage their missiles
Saturday October 27th This was the worst day of the crisis A U-2 on a routine mission incorrectly navigated, went into Russia, so he alerted U.S. fighters, which carried nuclear tipped missiles. This could have touched off war Another U-2, trying to get new pictures over Cuba, was shot down, but the orders did not come from Khrushchev. This was the only casualty of the crisis. Khrushchev sent a 2 nd letter to JFK that raised the price for removing the missiles. He now wanted the U.S. to remove missiles from Turkey. Robert Kennedy said to ignore it and only respond to the 1 st letter!
Sunday October 28th Khrushchev announced over Moscow radio that the Soviets would dismantle their nuclear missiles in Cuba He ruined his career by backing down, BUT he prevented nuclear disaster
Conclusion… Poor communication led to the Cuban Missile Crisis It took 7 days to reach a compromise because of no link between the U.S. and USSR They negotiated by TV, radio, and letters Realizing how close a war had been, both leaders established a "hot line" between the White House and the Kremlin so they could speak directly Khrushchev said that if the U.S. had attacked Cuba, the Soviets were ready to launch missiles

It stands alone and grim outside the bathroom window and resembles an enormous sprig of parsley. It has been there for years: it never seems to die and I haven't the heart to kill it. Even if I tried, I don't think I would have much success. The giant hogweed seems to thrive in concrete. If I chopped it off in one place, it would probably emerge somewhere else. It is the only plant I know that isn't the slightest bit bothered by slugs, snails and cats - or humans. Anybody who touches it risks getting anasty burn from its sap, which is why it is very handy having it outside the bathroom window - I'd like to see a burglar try to get past it unscathed. The giant hogweed almost seems to be saying: "Break in: make my day." What's more, the fearsome winds t hat blow under the nearby railway arches during the winter months have no effect whatsoever on the hogweed. It may bend under the assault, but it never breaks.
In short, it is a perfect plant for the city - except that nobody seems to like it. Gardening acquaintances say it is unaesthetic. What they really mean is that it isn't pretty. Well, all right, yes, I admit that. The only flowers it produces look like the frames of umbrellas. And it smells a bit funny, too. But it's big, and it's green: what more could you want? "Daisies," says my wife, "with nice frondly leaves waving gently in the breeze. Not that thing." She doesn't like my giant hogweed. In fact, she refuses to go out in the yard unaccompanied: she says the hogweed gives her the creeps.
Worse, I've just found out that the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food has it listed as a dangerous plant that I should have reported long ago. Apparently, it became illegal under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981. So now I'm waiting for thepersecution to begin. Maybe they'll send a death squad round to destroy it. Or perhaps they'll take it away in an armoured van - which will be a great shame because I've kind of got used to it being there.
Things won't seem the same. There will be a huge space in the back yard where the hogweed used to be and nothing bashing against the bathroom in the dead of night. And, as my wife points out: "If it weren't for that giant hogweed, you'd have no friends at all."

Two people with little in common become a family of sorts in this emotional drama from filmmaker Avie Luthra. Lucky (Sihle Dlamini) is a ten-year-old South African boy whose nickname is a grim irony -- his mother has died, his dad is missing, and he's been diagnosed with AIDS. While Lucky has an uncle in Durban, Jabulani (James Ngcob) isn't especially interested in looking after the boy and has already spent the money earmarked for Lucky's education on himself. Lucky has a cassette that his mother recorded for him shortly before she died, but he doesn't have a machine to play it; one of his uncle's neighbors, an elderly woman named Padma (Jayashree Basavaraj), has a tape player, but when he tries to sneak into her house to use it, she responds by chasing him out with a broom and hurling racial epithets at him. Lucky and Padma don't much care for one another, but when he has nowhere to go and she learns she can receive payment from the government for taking in a child with AIDS, she grudging agrees to look after him and let him sleep on her porch. In time, Lucky and Padma begin to understand one another and a close bond forms between them, despite Jabulani's interference, and they set out to find the father Lucky believes is still alive. Lucky received its North American premiere at the 2011 Toronto International Film Festival. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Naruto of the Goro Goro no Mi
(A/N= Hey everyone, this is Anthonyl6892, and this is my first story (That I will be uploading) as such I am just a beginner so please don't be too brutal with the reviews, I don't care if you tell me something that you think is bad. What I don't want to see are comments like, "Your story sucks, and you should stop writing." Please remember if you don't like a story, you don't have to read it.)
Summary= This is a story of what I think would happen if Naruto got the power of the Goro Goro no Mi from One Piece.
"Say"—Jutsu/ Demon taking
'Say'—Demon Thinking
Chapter 1 The Cavern of the Goro Goro no Mi
It was a normal day for one six year old boy named, Uzumaki Naruto. He was once again running from a mob after one of his "Pranks". He had been running for almost 30 minutes when he did something stupid or in his case, normal. He decided to escape the mob by running into the forest, however Naruto being Naruto-ish forgot to make sure he marked the way back and ended up getting lost.
"Dang it…where am I?" Naruto yelled as he walked around the dark forest. It was getting late and a storm was coming in. "Is anyone ther…"
Before Naruto could finish there was an earth quake and Naruto found himself falling, as the earth collapsed and reviled a hidden cavern.
Hours Later
Naruto woke up in almost complete darkness. The only reason he could see was because there seemed to be some type of moss that gave of very dim light in small patches around the walls and ceiling. Looking up at the hole in the roof in the hopes of some way climbing out, his hopes were dashed when he saw that unless someone helped him he would not be able to get out.
"Well, I guess I better explore in the hopes of finding a way out then." Naruto stated as he began to walk down the dark tunnel.
Many more hours later (Naruto can't tell time on his own…yet)
"Damn it…how far does this tunnel go?" Naruto shouted as he held his grumbling stomach. It was then he noticed that the tunnel began to get brighter a few more meters down the tunnel. 'Yes I'm near an exit.' Naruto thought as he ran to the light. However when he got there, he saw something amazing, he saw…
-------------------------- ----------------------------- --------------------- ----- ----
Meanwhile at the mouth of the cave
A tracker unit had followed Naruto's scent trail for over an hour when they saw a big hole in the ground. When they saw that the Leader of the unit cursed, "Shit…Alright everyone here is what we are going to, Shibi will use his bugs to look around the area to see if they can find an other scent trail, while he does that Tsume, her dogs and myself will go down the tunnel to look for Naruto.
"Hai, Kakashi-taicho." The other two members said as they started there search for the Naruto.
----------------------------------------- --------------------------------------- --------
Meanwhile back with Naruto
Naruto was panting; he had just climbed up a huge set of stairs that seemed to lead to a temple of some sort. "Damn… How many steps where there?" Naruto said from the top of the stairs. Turning around to look into the temple Naruto saw that there seemed to be some type of Alter at the other end of a huge, ballroom sized hallway. However it was the thing on the Alter that made Naruto happy. There was some type of weird fruit with swirls and other markings on it. Gulping down the saliva that built in his mouth at the thought of some food, Naruto ran towards the Alter. He started to climb up the Alter which was pretty easy because it was only four feet tall. Finally getting on the Alter, Naruto reached out for the fruit and…
-------------------------------- -------------------------------------- ---------------
Back with Kakashi and Tsume
The two trackers had been running through the tunnel at a high speed and within an hour had come to a giant stairway.
"Son of a bitch." Tsume said when she saw all of the steps.
"Indeed." Kakashi said as a tick mark appeared on his head.
Just then they heard a scream from the very top of the stairs.
--------------------------- -------------------------------------- -----------------------
Back with Naruto (Again)
Naruto was somehow able to choke down the distasteful fruit, when he first took a bite out of it he screamed out in disgust; however he did end up eating it all in the end. The reason why he ate the entire thing was because he knew that it was going to be the only food he would ever get down here. Sitting down next to the Alter with a sigh, he thought about how his life was, he had very few friends and almost the entire village hates him for some reason or another. It was at this moment that Naruto started to feel sleepy. "I guess I'll just take a small nap and go back to the hole when I wake up and try to climb up…though I have no chance of making it, I could at least say I tried.
And with that Naruto feel into a deep sleep on top of the Alter.
-------------------------- ----------------------------- ---------------------- ------ --
10 minutes later In the Alter room
Kakashi and Tsume had finally made it to the top of the stairway.
When Kakashi saw the hallway, and then saw that Naruto was on the Alter he said, "O god… I've seen something like this before."
Tsume looked at him and asked "Really?"
Kakashi replied "Yes I read it in a book once, Naruto has been offered in the hopes of summoning…" As he was taking he started to reach for a book.
Tsume looked at him in confusion when she asked "Summon what?"
"He was offered to summon large breasted alien women!" With that Kakashi showed Tsume a page in the book. (I hope you can see where this is going.)
Kakashi then found himself tumbling down the stairs covered in explosive notes.
--------------------------------------- -------------------------------- ------------
1 week later
When Naruto woke up he notice that he was on something very soft and he was in some type of white room. The moment he saw all of the white he knew where he was…the hospital.
"What happened?" Naruto said out load in the hopes that someone was there.
No more then five seconds passed before he heard "Naruto, are you ok?" Naruto instantly knew that it was the Sandaime.
"Old man! You're here!" Naruto said with tears in his eyes, he had thought he was going to die in that cave.
Pushing Naruto back into the bed the Sandaime asked "Can you tell me what happened, Naruto-kun?"
With that Naruto began to tell the Hokage about how he was cased, and how he got lose in the forest and how the earth quake made the earth collapsed and how in went and explored the cavern. How he climbed up the stairway of hell, and finally how he entered the temple and ate a weird fruit.
As Naruto told his story, the Hokage noticed that Kakashi had walked into the room with the help of his crutches. Looking at him the Hokage asked "Yes Kakashi, what can I do for you?"
"I just wanted to see if Naruto-kun is all right." Kakashi replied as he began to sit down in a chair.
As the two adults talked Naruto started to feel a bit hot, not in the I'm so sexy way but the I don't feel good way, he was soon sweating as if he was in Suna while he wore a huge eskimo coat.
The Hokage and Kakashi noticed this and went to the boy to see what was wrong. Just then there was a red flash and…
------------------------- ------------------------------ ----------------- --------------
In the sewers that is Naruto's mind
Naruto woke up with a head ache, when he looked around he saw that he was in some kind of sewer and that that the Hokage and the weird masked guy was with him as well.
Getting up Kakashi asked the question that was on everyone's mind, "Um…where the hell are we?"

The problem
Creating synthesized data in the traditional way of known input and known output is a daunting task when the number of possible permutations is overwhelming and the volume of data is measured in millions of new records a day.
The solution
We came up with the concept of Consistency over Accuracy and the idea is pretty simple.
Once we realize that our aggregations and calculations are correct by making small and focused data validation tests, the problem of making sure that the numbers are consistent over time and reproducible with every commit becomes easier to wrap our hands around.
While we use smaller data sets that test data accuracy, the amount of aggregations is overwhelming. Creating a dedicated data set that will mimic a very high volume of data flowing from multiple sources 24/7 and to validate each element in our document is an enormous task.
We decided to create a seed data set with ~20 million records, each represents an event being sent to Totango and holds the activity that was made by the user in the tracked application, and push the same record set into our AWS S3 storage every day while changing only the time stamp.
This will basically create a constant flow of the same data every day and by the end of our daily batch calculation a new document containing all the aggregations is born.
Because the data is identical every day the aggregations should have the same values, every day.
So, comparing results of day 1 with day 2 calculation for some aggregation value might yield the following table
The calculated document is quite big, around 500 MB of data and a comparer code was injected as a last step into our Spark code which runs the daily calculation. Using Spark distributed computing capabilities to run the comparer also ensures that it runs very fast. Fast execution means fast feedback which aligns perfectly with our Scrum methodology.
Difficulties along the way
Without a doubt, the most challenging part was to implement the code responsible for generating the initial seed data. The data had to be random as possible while covering all the possibilities and comply to the Data engineering team specifications.


text: Just got myself a load of Johnsons wet wipes due to much bog roll wastage with my recent turd state, however nothing in my eyes is better than the small Kleenex packs for an average shovel recce. Whats your choice of comfy bum for them lovely moments in the field when you just have to drop a 500 pounder? It got me thinking of my last shovel recce whilst walking over Dartmoor a few weeks back. I was hand railing the dart i believe and felt the first touch. However not having my emergency bum wipes or pampers i started to flap a bit. With joe public enjoying a lovely day near spitchwick I decided to do a hasty river crossing then make my way into the woods. So off comes the boots on goes the harbour slippers and i get in amongst it. After being taken 5-10m's down stream i manages to get out and gets onto dry land hand digs a hole and lets the poo go. Not a bad one really however that last little tail end of it was a bit messy and left me with a chocolate milkshake dripping down the crack of my hoop. So hastily i drags myself round using my hands like a dog after a dump. Now thinking "Bugger" i have brown tar, soil, leaves, grass and ants up my arrse crack now, how am i going to Mag to grid it. SO after much soul searching i decided to wet a load of grass, 'waddling' with kecks round ankles to the river i fell over twice. However i eventually gets there. Wets the grass and gets on with it being careful to throw my poo covered hasty arrse wipe away from the river. Feeling better for the experience i jumps back in and before setting off pauses about chest deep in the water against a rock covered in a soft moss. I just couldn't help myself. So i drops kecks spreads arrse cheeks and polishes my hoop on the spongy foliage. Now so much happier about having a clean hoop i starts to pull my kecks up. Only to let go of my bergan and watch it rapidly floating away. In a moment of madness i forgot about trousers and went for the bergan and thus ended up half floating half drowning down stream after it. What felt like miles down stream (Probably 25 yds) i had been reunited with my bergan and dignity of having my trousers done up. Out of the water and drying my feet i vowed to never forget my comfy bum... EVER again!

Okay. I'm going to show you a polish that is VHTF (very hard to find)! China Glaze Spellbound top coat came out for Halloween of 2009, and it was L/E. I think those of us who managed to nab this are probably hoarding it!
Mind you, I've had to baby mine. I mean, it's ridiculous how much I've had to baby it - about a year after I bought it, I was checking out my stash and saw that this was completely dried up. I mean, it was down to about a quarter of a bottle, and when I went to open it and pull out the brush - bam. Dried up glitter. I went to work on it, and it took me forever. Lots and lots of polish thinner, along with some clear polish. Seemed to work, and then a couple months later I noticed it drying again, so back with the polish thinner. I've had to do this several times but now, it seems to be just fine. I've got a little gunked up glitter in the neck of the bottle, but had no troubles with this application.
So, this is a clear based glitter - small and large orange hex glitter and large silver hex glitter. It's fun to place over different colors, as it is billed as a top coat, but I once saw this over the top of a silver and that's how I like it best. You could use China Glaze Millenium, or another chrome, but this time I used a silver foil - China Glaze Cheers To You from last year's Christmas collection. Divine! I used two layers of Spellbound on top of Cheers To You.
Now, let's be honest - this was a pain to remove. I did soak it down for about ten minutes, but still - I ended up with little silver glitters everywhere. Was it worth it? Heck yeah, I LOVE this pairing. It's so awesome!
So that's the first of my Halloween features. Do you have Spellbound or are you desperately lemming it?

Javier Mascherano believes that Liverpool can win the Premier League title this season with Luis Suarez the key character in a confident team.
The Argentine defender, who played for Liverpool between 2007 and 2010, explained how he has been keeping an eye on his former side and has been impressed by their performances this season.
In an interview with the Sunday Express, Mascherano said: "They [Liverpool] are not many points behind so they can win the Premier League. Why not?
"I have watched Liverpool closely since leaving the club and this season you can see they have improved a lot. They are playing with more confidence and are doing very well.
"I am very happy for the lads because I still have some friends at the club like Steven Gerrard and Lucas. What is happening now is not only good for the club but good for them too. They have been there a long time and deserve this."
Mascherano also highlighted the value of having Suarez in the attack as the club closed to within four points of league leaders Chelsea after a thrilling 4-3 victory over Swansea om Sunday.
He said: "For me, Liverpool have a key player, a fantastic player in [Luis] Suarez. He's unbelievable. At times unstoppable. He's a really great player for Liverpool and his country. I've played against him for Argentina against Uruguay and he's really difficult to stop.
"He also has a lot of character and is an important part of what Liverpool, under [Brendan] Rodgers, are achieving."

Grow taller 4 idiots by Darwin smith-Girls with low growth
Likewise, a girl of 10 years old with breasts that are developed with pubic hair and has presented the first menstruation should stop growing sooner than a 12 year old who is just starting breast development says Darwin Smith the author of Grow taller 4 idiots
This degree of maturation of cartilage can be evaluated with an x-ray of the hands and wrists for evaluating "bone age." There is a difference between boys and girls. In boys, puberty and the growth spurt begins on average two years later than in girls. This "delay" extends growth before puberty, which associated with a spurt more intense and more prolonged growth period in males, it follows that men are on average 13 cm taller than women.
When it is recommended to use GH? Treatment of replacement (replacement) with GH is indicated in every individual, regardless of age, to present deficiency of GH production by the pituitary. The GH deficiency may begin in childhood (pituitary dwarfism) or adulthood, resulting, for example, to a pituitary tumor In childhood, GH can also be beneficial in the short stature in girls with Turner syndrome in children born small for gestational age, in patients with the Prader-Willi syndrome, in children with chronic renal failure, among others.

Whirlpool Opens $200 Million Manufacturing Facility in Tennessee
"We are proud to have more U.S. manufacturing employees than all of our major competitors combined and today's ceremony further signifies Whirlpool Corporation's confidence in the Cleveland, Tennessee workforce and in U.S. manufacturing in general," said Jeff Fettig, chairman and chief executive officer for Whirlpool Corporation. "The advanced production here supports the growth of our premium cooking products business, which includes some of the most innovative ranges, ovens and cooktops offered in the marketplace."
This new, 1-million-square-foot production facility and 400,000 square foot distribution center, demonstrate the company's commitment to delivering the world's most innovative cooking products, the Whirlpool official said. The plant includes some of the most energy efficient and technologically advanced manufacturing processes and is expected to obtain LEED Gold certification by the U.S. Green Building Council.
Located at Benton Pike and Durkee Road, the new facility will add 130 jobs, replacing a 123-year old plant just a few miles away. The full transition to the new facility is expected to be complete by mid-2013.
"I want to congratulate all the people at Whirlpool on 100 years of making things here in America. Today, CEOs both in the U.S. and abroad are seeing places like Cleveland, Tennessee, and they're saying `That's where I want my next factory to go,'" said U.S. Commerce Secretary John Bryson. "They see our research and development, our supply chains, the quality of our products, and our talented workforce. There is simply no comparison.

Fall 2008: 「Ga-Rei Zero」 Impressions
Wow, I thought this show would be shit since the manga sounded oh-so-cliched, but damn this is probably one of the most shocking first episodes this season.
Uh, since the manga story doesn't seem to apply here, I'll summarize a bit. Kanze Tooru is part of a team that dispenses with supernatural enemies. Incidents involving them seem to have increased after an event three years ago. His team mates include Kasuga Natsuki (bearing an uncanny resemblance towards Mai Hime's Natsuki), Shindou Masaki, Kusuno Kudou, Izumi Mami and they're led by Konparu Kiriya. Their team is the "special forces" type, that deal with high level incidents which normal troops can't handle.
The show begins with a Category D beast appearance that decimates the first team on the scene, so Tooru's team is called in and they quickly dispatch of it. But another Category D pops up somewhere else, this time about 30x larger than the first one, so they devise a plan to use the sewage system in order to contain the threat. Natsuki acts as the bait, while Tooru takes up a sniping position and the other two set up stuff to create a large amount of "holy water" using the system.
The plan goes off smoothly but Tooru messes up when he snipes because of his flashbacks to a past event causing Natsuki to suffer a bit of rough treatment. In the end, the beast is dead and the team relaxes with some coffee, but suddenly Masaki and Kudou and killed by a katana-wielding girl that Tooru recognizes as a Category A. He takes Natsuki to hide and gets contacted by Mami, but it turns out she's possessed herself and killed Konparu, eventually turning the gun to herself as well.
Tooru has a flashback at this point where he was forced to kill his own possessed girlfriend with his own hands, urged on by a girl, I suppose his team mate then. He snaps out of it only to find out that Natsuki's slain as well and he confronts the killer, the same girl from his flashbacks, which proceeds to slash him as well. The episode ends abruptly at this point, with the caption "Will you kill someone you love, because of love?"
That was… rather abruptly shocking for a first episode. I thought we'd be seeing more of the other guys, especially the Natsuki-lookalike, but they all got killed within the first episode(?). I don't know how the original manga is, but the anime looks set to be a pretty intense ride if the rest of the show keeps this up.
Notably, the production quality is one of the best yet from the crop of premieres I've watched so far. The action scenes are well done and at parts, impressive, such as Natsuki taking down a bunch of low-level enemies by using her mystically-enchanted motorbike tyres. The character designs look good as well, especially Natsuki and the katana-wielding girl at the end but with Natsuki already getting knocked off in the first episode, will we still see her?
The main questions of the series looks set to center on the flashback Tooru experienced as well as the "grand summoning" event that happened 3 years ago, though the issue at hand is how will the rest of the series look like if most of the candidate main characters are already dead from the start? I can't wait to see how the second episode goes.

The Ezel™ hinge
The Ezel™ hinge works just right: it provides low resistance for converting the Aspire R7 into four modes with just one hand, and higher resistance so the touchscreen stays steady when you use it. Work with the Aspire R7 at your desk as a notebook, flick it into display mode for sharing, or use it as a pad for drawing.
Ezel™ mode
Ezel™ mode brings the touch display closer to you, so you don't have to reach across your desk to use it. Just pull the display up and out, where it can float over the keyboard. Having the display that much closer makes switching between touch control and typing that much easier.

Christian Louboutin v. Yves Saint Laurent
In April 2011, footwear designer Christian Louboutin filed a suit against luxury design house Yves Saint Laurent, a subsidiary of the Gucci Group, over Louboutins trademark of red-soled high heel shoes. The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office awarded Louboutin a registered trademark for the red soles in 2008 and are seeking an injunction against Yves Saint Laurent, as well as, payment for damages totaling $1 million. Case Overview
Louboutins Arguments: One of Louboutins lawyers, Harley Lewin stated that the red sole does warrant trademark protection as, "This is the lifeblood of this company, the red sole. When people see the red sole on the street they think Louboutin." Yves Saint Laurent's Arguments: YSL claims the reasons it seeks to use red on its outsoles includes to reference traditional Chinese lacquer ware, to create a monochromatic shoe, and to create a cohesive look consisting of color- coordinating shoes and garments. YSL also claims that the red sole mark does not warrant trademark protection. YSL claims that Louboutin has no monopoly over the red-colored shoe soles and that similar applications were commonplace before Louboutins use such as the ruby red shoes that carried Dorothy home in the Wizard of Oz. The Arguments
Central Dispute The central issue in this case is whether or not a designer should be able to trademark a color. In trademark law, you cannot protect something that is functional – Question arises, does the red sole serve a purpose in fashion?
Trademark Verbal depiction from USPTO – "The color(s) red is/are claimed as a feature of the mark. The mark consists of a lacquered red sole on footwear. The dotted lines are not part of the mark but are intended only to show placement of the mark."
Court Decision In August 2011, the court denied the injunction to prohibit Yves Saint Laurent from selling the offending shoes – Judge Victor Marrero stated that "Louboutins claim would cast a red cloud over the whole industry, cramping what other designers could do, while allowing Louboutin to paint with a full palette." After the court decision, Christian Louboutin filed an appeal. The case is currently being tried at the U.S. Court of Appeals.

text: 000 FXUS63 KAPX 231752 AFDAPX Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Gaylord MI 152 PM EDT Sun Apr 23 2017 .UPDATE... Issued at 1042 AM EDT Sun Apr 23 2017 Not much of an update with such quiet weather. The cold front has now made it into far nrn lower, with widespread stratus and some sprinkles and possibly some flurries in the cold air in it`s wake. Sunny skies out ahead of the front and another day of warm temperatures. Gonna have quite the thermal gradient out there, with eastern upper locked in the middle 40s, and far SE counties into the middle 60s with additional hours of warming prior to the front. There still looks to be some clearing in the stratus later today, as the narrow corridor of moisture shears out with the departure of a shortwave in Ontario. && .NEAR TERM...(Today through Tonight) Issued at 303 AM EDT Sun Apr 23 2017 ...A few rain/snow showers far north... High Impact Weather Potential: None. Pattern Synopsis/Forecast: Sprawling surface high stretches from the central plains across the lower Great Lakes, while a secondary more Arctic like high pressure rotates east across central Canada. Cold front on the south side of the latter making steady progress southeast, about set to reach eastern upper Michigan within the next few hours. Front is largely moisture starved this far east, and best mid level support is detached well to the north. Just enough forcing and moisture convergence to kick off clouds and a band of light rain and snow showers just along and behind the front, some of which looks to skirt eastern upper this morning. High pressure dominates the weather south of the bridge, bringing another star-filled night and seasonably chilly temperatures. Just enough push from that Canadian high to drag the cold front south across the area this morning and early afternoon. Attendant moisture axis shears out in the process, likely resulting in a dry frontal passage for northern lower Michigan. Surface ridging looks to dominate our weather once again through tonight, with next round of waa driven precipitation likely developing well to our northwest by late tonight. Primary forecast concerns: Addressing light shower potential with passing front this morning. Cloud and temperature trends through tonight. Details: As mentioned, cold front expected to make steady south progress across our area this morning into early afternoon. Attendant moisture axis stretches out across eastern upper this morning, shearing out and thinning with time as mid level wave rotates off well to the north. A few light showers, perhaps mixed with a bit of snow, still looks reasonable this morning for areas north of the Straits. Simply not enough forcing nor deep enough moisture to support rain chances across northern lower, although clouds should definitely increase, especially for areas north of M- 72. As moisture channel thins, will likely see some thinning of the cloud cover heading through this afternoon. Temperature trends definitely remain the trickiest part of todays forecast. Cold air advection will be kicking off first thing this morning across the north, and when combined with that greater cloud cover, looks to keep areas in the Straits and eastern upper stuck in the 40s. Much longer window for good temperature recovery further south, with enhancement via more sunshine and downslope flow resulting in temperatures reaching into the 60s on the south side of the sunrise side. This does raise some concern for fire weather, with deeper mixing helping scour out morning low level moisture. Relative humidity values may once again reach critical levels down near Saginaw Bay. Will use our latest fire weather forecast products to highlight this concern. Really not a ton of change heading through tonight. Developing elevated waa advection will likely result in a thicken back up of the mid and upper level clouds for northern areas. Best advection is well removed to our northwest, and model derived soundings continue to indicate plenty of low level dry air. May be just enough moisture to result in a few sprinkles and flurries once again for eastern upper. Definitely not convinced this will occur, and trends support what is able to reach the surface will be off to our northwest. Light northeast to east flow and those clouds will prevent temperatures from falling like the last couple nights. Widespread 30s expected, with northeast lower and eastern upper making a run to or just below freezing. && .SHORT TERM...(Monday through Tuesday night) Issued at 303 AM EDT Sun Apr 23 2017 ...Increasing shower chances... High pressure and associated dry air hang on across much of the area Monday as low pressure systems are located to our west and southeast. This should lead to decreasing clouds north (with just a slight chance for a rain or snow shower early) and mostly sunny skies south. The dry air is expected to win out for the most part Monday night as well. Slow moving low pressure from the west will edge closer to the area later Tuesday into Tuesday night bringing increasing chances for showers (especially across northern and western zones). It looks like there will be a wide temperature range Monday with highs only in the upper 40s far north but the middle 60s southwest. Highs Tuesday much warmer with temperatures ranging from the lower 60s north to the lower 70s south. Lows in the upper 30s to middle 40s Monday night and the milder middle 40s to lower 50s Tuesday night. .LONG TERM...(Wednesday through Saturday) Issued at 303 AM EDT Sun Apr 23 2017 ...Fairly unsettled... Low pressure is very slow to move across the region. This will likely prolong showers and possible thunderstorms Wednesday all the way into at least the first half of Thursday. A cold front is then shown to usher in a quick shot of chilly air as it moves through the area Thursday morning (though model timing as been all over the place over the last few runs). Models vary on just how cold the air is behind the front as well as how much moisture there will be. Either way more chances for instability driven showers Thursday afternoon and possibly even Thursday night when it may be cold enough for a mix with snow showers. The chilly air should hang around into Friday before warmer readings return to start next weekend. && .AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Monday afternoon) Issued at 144 PM EDT Sun Apr 23 2017 A cold front continues to drop south of the area with winds out of the north and gusting in spots. There is also a band of better moisture/clouds behind this front, but it has been thinning out over time with only PLN seeing some periodic MVFR CIGS. Lighter winds tonight into Monday morning as winds turn easterly due to higher pressure working into the nrn Great Lakes. Winds will be more SE later Monday and gusty at times as the cold front to our south gradually starts to lift back north. Maybe see some additional low to mid level clouds, but right now, do not see much indication that skies will be much more than mostly clear to just partly cloudy. && .MARINE... Issued at 303 AM EDT Sun Apr 23 2017 Winds turn northerly today behind a weakening cold front dropping south across the area. Despite the attendant cold air advection and diminishing over-water stability, winds will remain below advisory levels due to a weaker pressure gradient. This front returns as a warm front Monday with winds turning southerly and increasing through Monday night. && .APX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... MI...NONE. LH...NONE. LM...NONE. LS...NONE. && $$ UPDATE...SMD NEAR TERM...MSB SHORT TERM...AJS LONG TERM...AJS AVIATION...SMD MARINE...MSB

At present, Indigenous land and sea management effectiveness is mostly assessed on the biop
Dr. Beau Austin
Beau is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at RIEL, CDU. He is currently working on an ARC-funded project titled: Integrating Measures of Indigenous Land and Sea Management Effectiveness. This project seeks to develop measures of the effectiveness of Indigenous land and sea management on its biophysical, cultural, social and economic objectives for both people and the environment. As Indigenous people across Australia have been saying for a long time, land and sea management produces many significant social, cultural and livelihood benefits for local communities in addition to increased biodiversity, reduced carbon emissions and threatened species protection.
Beau is working with Indigenous land and sea managers to develop plans for Country and monitoring and evaluation tools to measure 'success'. Most of this work is happening through partnerships with Wunambal Gaambera people in the north Kimberley and the Balngarra Clan near the Arafura Swamp.
This work has been guided by three principles: 'co-production', 'good faith' and 'ground up'.
Before joining academia, Beau worked in community development and for the Australian government. He has Bachelors degrees majoring in politics and international business, and wrote his doctoral thesis on success factors for Indigenous wildlife-based enterprise in northern Australia.

Recent reviews
Excellent 4.1 /5 from 73 reviews
Great location and beautiful Ocean views !
Hotel is easy to get to, has a nice view, and a good buffet breakfast. Lobby staff very helpful and friendly. On the negative side, isolation between neighboring bathrooms is poor, and we would have appreciated a few more amenities like washcloths and some Kleenex.
Great location but a couple improvements would help the experience: let people use the spa area pool and lounge. Bathrooms need to be updated, especially tubs, ours was moldy. Front desk staff not very friendly or helpful with knowledge of the surrounding area, couldn't help with directions to a major attraction only 35 km away. Plusses: Spacious room, great bed, great breakfast. There is a little protected sanctuary between hotel and beach full of chameleons, cool!
Lovely hotel and the staff were terrific - at the hotel and at the beach restaurant. great beach. Only issue was that the connection to the internet was unreliable and very variable - this became quite frustrating and cost several in our family a lot of time trying to access and complete work-related items - very frustrating when we wanted to be on the beach. One day oen corner in the lobby would be great but the next day there would be minimal to no connectivity.
This hotel is right on the beach and in a delightful seaside village. Every room has a direct view of the ocean. The grounds are nice and private with plenty of room around the pool to relax and not feel crowded. There is a wide variety of restaurants within walking distance of the hotel. The hotel gym, free for guests, helps you enjoy these with less guilt.

Complete LOSERS!
I've been so wrapped up in all these new projects, I almost lost sight of the fact that the final LOSERS graphic novel has just been published - so if you missed out on the series first time round, now's the perfect time to jump on board and find out what you've been missing.
You can read THE LOSERS from start to finish in five graphic novels.
It's a contemporary action-thriller about a U.S. Special Forces team who are betrayed by their CIA handler. Targeted for assasination after they learn too much about one of the Agency's dirtier operations, they decide to fight back the only way they know how - by declaring war on the CIA itself - and in doing so, find themselves embroiled in a top-level conspiracy using falsified intelligence to seize control of the Middle East's oil supply.
Thing is, I started writing THE LOSERS over a year before we even invaded Iraq. Funny how things turn out, ennit... ?
THE LOSERS won the 2004 National Comics Award for Best New Comic, and was nominated for the 2004 Eisner Award for Best New Series.
Warner Bros are turning it into a movie.
Now if you only want to read comics about grown men in tights agonizing about relationship issues and bemoaning their burden of responsibility, then THE LOSERS probably isn't for you. But if you want some ballsy entertainment that doesn't treat you like a fucking idiot, you could do worse than start here.
THE LOSERS wasn't my first collaboration with the indecently talented Jock, and it won't be the last - our next gig is GREEN ARROW: YEAR ONE, out next year.
Here's what people are saying about THE LOSERS:
"Never miss an issue. I'm down with The Losers in a big way. It's tough to make international espionage fresh, and I love that book." -- JOSS WHEDON
"A terriffic caper created by British scribe Andy Diggle... With a muscular visual style - courtesy of resident artist Jock - already in place, even Hollywood can't fuck up The Losers." -- EMPIRE
"The Losers, the best comic book not yet on the big screen, is optioned for the big screen." -- NEW YORK MAGAZINE
"If there's a more consistently enthralling, action-packed comic than this, I'll eat my hat... Hollywood will be lucky if it can pull off a caper flick that's half as entertaining as The Losers." -- AIN'T IT COOL NEWS
"Diggle's writing is sharp as steel, the plots are packed with action and intrigue, and Jock's craggy artwork, filled with noirish shadows, suits the story very well." -- LIBRARY JOURNAL
"Diggle writes with a Hollywood-by-way-of-the-UK savvy... Jock supplies the vibrantly intense art. A- " -- ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY
"Diggle and Jock have made sure readers come out ahead on the classic bang-for-buck exchange." -- PUBLISHER'S WEEKLY
"This series is much more than just an action-packed extravaganza. There's real depth to this series. Depth to the plot. Depth in the characters. It's as intriguing as it is exciting, and as suspenseful as it is powerful... The Losers is the comic book equivalent of dynamite... Shockingly good stuff." -- C.H.U.D.
All five LOSERS graphic novels are available at a discount from Mars Import, Amazon and Amazon UK.
Prefer to try before you buy? You can download an 8-page preview from THE LOSERS Mini-Site.
Off you go then.

Rick Ross Parties With Dan Marino: Our Favorite Ricky Rozay Miami Moments of 2011
Rick Ross. Two words, two syllables, and one hardcore boss.

Currently doing some part-time engineering consultancy, mucking about building things with 3D printers, CNC mills and a new desktop PCB prototyping machine, and meeting lots of really wonderful people through Airbnb, where I get to practice the domestic arts of brewing Brazilian coffee, cooking up bacon & egg breakfasts, and handling loads of washing and making beds.
Ok, I could do without that last one!
In the off season I spend time in our other house in Brazil, which we are also setting up on Airbnb. Come and visit!
