All the children observed by the Project team receive more support than typically developing children receive in mainstream schools. Although Cecily, Jivan and Dominic are included in mainstream classes, they receive considerable additional support.
Most of the children attend special schools, and are in classes with no more than six pupils. Charles attends a resource base for children who have autism; he is in a group of only four pupils for the majority of the school day. He goes to his mainstream class base for registration and takes part in the "wake & shake" activities with this class group.
However, as well as being educated in very small classes, the children who attend special schools all receive additional support. The level and nature of this support varies. For example, Sarah has individual support at all times in school. In contrast, Sebastian has additional support provided by two Teaching Assistants (TAs). They are permanently attached to his class where he is taught with six other children who have little or no sight and additional needs. Therefore, he does not receive full-time additional support.
Ali attends a special school for autistic children where there is an individualised approach; each child has a designated teaching assistant (TA) who has the opportunity to get to know the child really well and to build a very close, effective relationship with him or her. However, it is not only Ali's designated TA who works with him; additional staff (teachers and other TAs) are involved too. Nevertheless, in order to reduce the demands on Ali, the number of additional staff involved with him is minimised. Furthermore, his designated TA is assigned to him for most of the school day, with additional staff being involved only for short periods. Although Ali's designated TA has a little contact with other children, she is not assigned to any other child. Thus, she has able to acquire extensive knowledge of Ali and to build a very close relationship with him.
However, it is important to consider the potential problems of providing a designated TA for a child. For example, if the designated TA is away from work for some reason, it may be difficult for another member of staff, who will inevitably lack detailed knowledge of the child, to provide cover. Also, many autistic children have difficulty generalising what they learn. This means that a child may only use skills with the familiar, known member of staff, and not with anyone else.
Given his age (he is only 4), the complexity of his difficulties and his sociability, Ali is regarded as needing the stability and security afforded by having a designated TA for most of the school day. The school is aware that as Ali settles and matures, it will be important to decrease the involvement of his designated TA and to increase the number of other staff members who work with him. This should ensure he does not become emotionally over-reliant on one member of staff and will support the generalisation of learning across staff members.
Cecily has full time additional teaching assistant (TA) support; this role is currently shared by two of the school's TAs. Thus Cecily is not emotionally over-reliant on one particular TA.
Jasper has full-time teaching assistant (TA) support, but this is shared by 3 TAs. Staffing is thus arranged to encourage the generalisation of learning across staff members. The TAs communicate effectively with each other to promote consistency.
Dominic has full-time additional support in class shared by several teaching assistants (TA). They work out of the resource base for children who have visual impairment. Sharing additional support amongst two or more TAs:

CNET Editors' review
MD5 Checksum Verifier is an easy-to-use utility for identifying changes in a file using the MD5 hash function. Although the program is straightforward, only advanced users are likely to need its functionality.
The program provides a simple tabbed interface that lets you calculate a file's checksum (which is a digit used to check whether errors have occurred in the transmission or storage of data), save the checksums of all files in a specific directory, and verify the checksums of the files against that earlier record. MD5 Checksum Verifier successfully detected changes we made in volatile files--files such as Word documents, which one expects to change over time--as well as the addition and deletion of files into the directory we were monitoring.
If you are unfamiliar with checksums and their use in monitoring the integrity of files, the application will not be of much assistance. In-line messaging is sparse, and the equally terse Help file merely restates without explanation what each tab does. For advanced users looking for a simple way of tracking files using MD5, this application (15-day trial; $14.95 to buy) may be worth the money.
Publisher's Description
From GoldSolution:
MD5 Checksum Verifier is files integrity checker based on the time proven MD5 algorithms. With it you can create checksums of files and verify their integrity in the future. The operation is very easy, just two steps, make check file and verify check file.

My Pomeranian pup goes with me to my office every day. He loves being with me. However, he hates that I'm working. He thinks my office is a big playpen where he and I should be romping together all day. This puts more than a crimp in my creative juices. But what's even more humbling is the fact that he's more creative than I am. He's mastered the art of diverting me, detaining me, and just plain preventing me from writing. Some examples: He lies across my keyboard, gazing up at me with adoring eyes (and erasing my last paragraph in the process). He plants his front paws (small but lethal) over my hands to keep them from moving on the keyboard. He shoves his head under my arm so that I'm cuddling him and my arm can no longer reach the computer. And, when all else fails, he whimpers pathetically, as if he hasn't already received 24/7 attention and affection. The problem is, I'm a pushover. So he wins, I lose, and I wind up writing until the wee hours of the morning when he's taking his nighttime snooze. Yet another reason why one book a year is my limit.

Seismic Interpretation in Complex Fold and Thrust Belts
It can be very difficult to find courses that cover specific structural regimes, and which give you the interpretive tools you need to be able to develop a coherent model. For example, if you're working in a complex fold and thrust belt, the knowledge you have of seismic interpretation of structures may be inadequate.
John Shaw is offering a short course that provides an in-depth look seismic interpretation in fold and thrust belts, and it will take place August 15-18 at Harvard. seismic reflection data and the development of balanced cross sections for trap delineation and reservoir characterization in fold-and-thrust belts. The course will enable participants to
- Recognize common types of structures in fold-and-thrust belts based on their expressions in seismic reflection data.
- Rigorously apply fault-related folding concepts to interpret these structures in seismic reflection data, characterizing fault and fold geometries and fault displacements.Evaluate structural interpretations based on fault and fold relationships.
- Identify petroleum traps and their major structural risk elements.
For more information about the course, click the link.

text: Steve and Caroline West were typical small-town Oregon parents until October 19, 2005, when a lottery ticket that Caroline's mom, Frances Chaney, purchased came up in a $340 million drawing. Suddenly, the Wests and the Chaneys were some of the biggest lottery winners in history! Although they purchased things like houses, cars and vacations to Italy and Hawaii, Caroline and Steve say they haven't changed all that much. "If we were to walk down the street, people wouldn't have a clue," Caroline says. "We still wear jeans and tennis shoes." The Wests say they haven't forgotten what things were like before, when they were living paycheck to paycheck. Caroline kept her job driving a school bus, and the family still clips coupons. "We like to feel we're getting a deal," Steve says. They say they have avoided the problems—divorce, bankruptcy and health issues—that beset many lottery winners. "Once we checked the numbers and it looked like we had won, we went online. And there's a website—You've Won the Lottery, What Do You Do Now?" Steve says. "It gave a lot of good information." So how has life changed for these big winners? "We're debt-free," Steve says. "It gives you a huge sense of security in knowing you don't have to worry about day-to-day anymore," Frances adds. |

Defending Class 4A Seymour Regional champion Jeffersonville was ranked 17th by the preseason single-class Indiana Basketball Coaches Association poll, which was released Sunday evening.
With three starters returning from last year's 24-4 campaign, the Red Devils — under first-year coach and former Jeff star Matt Pait — are expected to be Hoosier Hills Conference and sectional champions and a regional contender in 2013-14.
Jeffersonville was ranked 11th in last week's Class 4A Associated Press preseason poll.
"It really doesn't mean much," Pait said of the ranking. "It's great that we're recognized by the other coaches in the state, but in reality, no one's played a game yet."
Jeffersonville is the only HHC or Sectional 15 team in the IBCA top 20, but rival New Albany received votes.
Despite winning last year's regional, three potential regional opponents — Evansville Harrison at No. 3, Columbus North at No. 7 and Bloomington South at No. 14 — are ranked ahead of the Red Devils.
Pait said he doesn't take that as a slight to his team.
"All those teams are very good," he said. "They were very good last year and have almost everybody back. Both teams are deserving of those rankings."
Jeff doesn't open its season until Friday, Dec. 6 when it hosts Evansville Bosse, which also received votes.
"We've had a really good first two weeks of practice," Pait said. "It's good that we have another two weeks until we play. We still have some work to put in. At the end of two weeks, we will be glad to get out there, I do know that."
Defending Class A state champion Borden, which will open the season tonight at home against rival Eastern and ranked No. 3 in the AP Class A poll, also received votes in the coaches poll.
Indianapolis Tech is ranked No. 1 in the IBCA poll, a single point ahead of two-time defending Class 4A champion Carmel, which was the top-ranked 4A team by the AP. The Titans received eight first-place votes, three fewer than Carmel. Harrison received the other two first-place votes.
The other local teams of interest to receive votes in the coaches' poll were Brownstown Central, Linton-Stockton, Loogootee, Washington and four more Evansville schools — Central, Reitz, North and Memorial.

Lindsay Lohan returned to her favorite Los Angeles hotel this week after bosses lifted an order banning her from the premises.
RELATED: Fergie Makes a Mean Lindsay Lohan
The Mean Girls star was told to stay away from the exclusive Chateau Marmont after she allegedly failed to pay a $46,350 bill, which she racked up during her 47-day stay in June and July on room service meals, cigarettes, candles and drinks from the mini-bar.

Lenny Kravitz is going beyond radio play to bring his latest track "Rock Star City Life" to the masses. He's joining the crew of musicians and celebrities showing up in the new Chrysler commercials.
The Grammy winner and longtime Jeep driver is hawking the Jeep Wrangler in a campaign in which the single is heard, and it shows Kravitz navigating an off-road course.
Global Hue, the agency in Southfield, Mich., responsible for the campaign, specializes in marketing to African-American and Hispanic customers. The pairing with Kravitz marks another step in the automaker's efforts to expand its consumer base.

Because of the concentrated efforts of millions of Republicans all over America, Susan Collins (Maine) was reelected to the Senate, surviving a challenge once thought to be serious. She won, in large part, because she was able to drown her Democratic adversary in a sea of campaign spending made possible by donations from Republicans throughout the nation. As a result of their efforts, the GOP preserved its 40th vote in the Senate.
And when Saxby Chambliss was forced into a runoff in the Georgia Senate race, Republicans from all over the United States poured out their hearts and their funds to get him reelected, all to save the 41st vote and be able to filibuster Democrats' big spending proposals.
Now the actions of three people who told their voters that they were Republicans have eliminated any hope that the GOP has for influence during the next two years. By making their own deals with the Obama administration and settling for cosmetic improvements in the so-called stimulus package, Sens. Collins, Olympia Snowe, R-Maine, and Arlen Specter, R-Pa., have sold out their party, their state and their supporters.
Don't buy their excuse that they shaved more than one hundred billion dollars in spending from the Senate version. By the time the Senate/House conference reconciles the differences between the versions of the legislation passed by the two houses, most of that spending will be back in the law anyway.
Collins, Snowe and Specter had a chance to send a message to Obama that he had to deal with the Republican Party to avert a filibuster. They could have made it clear that genuine bipartisan cooperation was necessary to pass legislation. These three senators, pledged to cut taxes and oppose massive growth in federal spending, could have demanded a 2-to-1 ratio for tax cuts over spending, rather than the reverse, as Obama is succeeding in getting.
Instead, the three wimped out and caved in for peanuts from Obama. In doing so, they completely stripped their party of any leverage. There was no point in having gotten 41 votes if the three weakest links could sell the party out.
This stimulus package will:
Republicans in Maine and Pennsylvania need to learn their lesson and assure that these three senators face a primary. Real conservatives, who oppose larger government, must stand up to these three phony Republicans.
They'll get their chance. Specter is up for reelection in 2010. He should have been defeated in 2004 when a real conservative, Pat Toomey, opposed him in a primary and only narrowly lost. Better luck next time.
The very concept of checks and balances evaporated last week on Capitol Hill when these three senators sold out their colleagues and stripped their conference of its power. Now Obama can buy off the GOP senator by senator without having to make genuine compromises with the other party to pass his agenda.
In 1993, Clinton was not able to buy Republicans retail. Only Vermont's Jim Jeffords, who soon became a Democrat, gave way and dealt independently with the president. Now, with their backs to the wall, facing a spending package that will consign America to rampant inflation, massive debt and continued recession, these three senators have gone back on their most fundamental pledge to their constituents — to act in the public good.

The reviewer is obviously unaware of how many late-night parties I skipped to keep reading Liars and Outliers. Freiheit • September 5, 2012 3:11 PM He also has no idea how many parties I simply wasn't invited to because I read Applied Cryptography for fun. Clive Robinson • September 5, 2012 5:37 PM @ Friehiet, He also has no idea how many parties I simply wasn't invited to because I read Applied Cryptography for fun When I was "wearing the green" I went to many parties where I'd sit quietly in the corner reading post grad and other material and then when I felt the party was at a point where I could join in safely I would. There is actually a photo of a regimental do where I was sitting there with a book on group theory chatting amiably to the then Lord Mayor of London in full regalia who likewise had an interest in maths... The odd thing about the regiment I was in was they had a lot of very smart people and they'd got so used to me doing it some of them would bring along papers etc for me to read if they thought I might be interested (and I usualy was) and we would often sit and chat about the papers after the party whilst waiting for breakfast etc. Perhaps even odder was the majority were from young ladies doing their Masters or Doctorates who would hunt me out to chat about some paper or another and there are one or two PhD theses with my name in the "dedication" bit. It was all a bit wierd by even the standards of the day, but then the regiment was a bit odd ball any way and "cherised" us odduns because of what we could and did do over and above the basic soldiering. We were unique at the time in that we designed and built our own radio kit or modified existing kit for long haul HF "special comms" with very low power out stations with low probability of detect and high power home stations where we designed and built the KW+ transmitters etc. The bandwidth of the coms was very narrow ( I must admit I still have the occasional urge to build the stuff again using modern ultra cheap technology to see if I can squease a dB or so more out of it and then DSSS it across a half meg or so of bandwidth just for the fun of it... RobertT • September 5, 2012 9:36 PM @Clive Robinison I can only imagine that this must have been a theme party...DSSS is so 80's! You need to keep up with the times oldman, even in Mil circles the game has moved to DIDO systems with high order QAM over OFDM. As for the really secret stuff, well I can tell you about it, BUT I'll have to.... Clive Robinson • September 6, 2012 4:06 AM @ RobertT, I can only imagine that this must have been a theme party...DSSS is so 80's I stopped wearing the green at the end of the 80's begining of the 90's because of the stupidity of Politico's. Also it's a question of tools and parts in the scrap box... Now I know from what you've let slip you've got a "home shed" equiped out in a way many Unis would chearfully sell their estemed and much venerated chancellors into a millennia of Dante's inferno to get hold of. So I'm also assuming your scrap box contains a bit more than off the shelf components out of the likes of Digi-Key and Radio Shack? But I also like longish sequence DSSS as a carrier mechanisum due to the fact it plays much more nicely in places like the HF band or even in "white space" the FCC is desperatly wrestling with. In the ninties I had a nice little system that had "wide notch' DSSS on the same transmitter as an ordinary ISB-SC system that enabled various interesting user and data modes for low cost tactical type systems (the fact it could FHSS as well was usefull for other reasons such as moving window jamming systems to prevent remotly activated devices but still alow PTT comms). Now admitadly this could all be done fairly easily and conveniantly in a $5 SOC these days, but not only would it take the fun out of it, the development costs would also be well north of what I'd pay for out of my pocket. And at the end of day DevlCost not BOM is what limits inovation these days :-( BF Skinner • September 6, 2012 7:32 AM Fm the Amazon blurb for Hawley "Hawley suggests that the fundamental mistake in America's approach to national security is requiring a protocol for every contingency. Instead, he claims, we must learn to live with reasonable risk so that we can focus our efforts on long-term, big-picture strategy, rather than expensive and ineffective regulations that only slow us down." What a pity he didn't have a postion of authority or oppourtunity to implement this notion. Honestly why do they wait until after they are professionally safe and retire before they start agreeing with their critics? Bond • September 6, 2012 11:27 AM @ bob, @ Friehiet, @ Clive, In a similar wein, I first read Bruce's crypto book while in the green room (backstage) during my first theatrical production. Good thing I had a fairly minor role so I got a lot of reading done between walk-ons. RobertT • September 6, 2012 4:26 PM "But I also like longish sequence DSSS as a carrier mechanisum due to the fact it plays much more nicely in places like the HF band or even in "white space"..." Hmmm I'm not sure that I agree, wide band HF comms is typically limited by multipath fading rather than noise floors, so it is exactly these frequencie bands that benefit the most from OFDM techniques. The typical problem with DSSS is the ISI (inter symbol interference) caused by multipath. to make it very wide band you need to equalize the signal across the entire band, which btw is dynamically changing. Anyway this is definitely OT so I'll leave it. PS To prototype HF systems is very easy these days. Anyone can buy 14 bit 200Mhz ADC's and DAC's, off the shelf, (ADI, LTC, TI..) with a little work there is no problem interlacing these COTs parts to make a 14bit 1Gsps ADC / DAC. This analog block makes HF radio very easy. Single FPGA's are definitely big enough, these days, to fit an entire OFDM / FEC system Mod/Demod and digital interface. So all you need is the external DSP and you can make some very nice bespoke HF comms systems . The older FPGA prototype boards can be easily purchased on Ebay for a few hundred, plus Octave is just as good as Matlab for many of these comms apps. Development costs should not be big factor in prototyping HF systems, no more than maybe $2K. Anyway, you really need to get back into the game because the young guys are all digital comms hacks and have never known the old school HF design methods. There is a lot of value in combining old school knowledge with new technology! Actually CSIRO has a HF DIDO development project just started, its a bit hush hush but I'm sure you can find the details.

Mini Hedge Fund
According to the article, proponents say this can add two percentage points of returns while reducing volatility. The article also has a dissenting view that says there is no free lunch. Strangely the article does not have ticker symbols or even specific names of these funds, unless I missed it. I exchanged emails with the author and one of the funds is the ING 130-30 Fundamental Research Fund (IOTAX). Neither Yahoo nor Morningstar had much on the fund.
This concept is in the same general realm of the low beta pairs trading I wrote about a couple of weeks ago, at least that is the idea behind the funds. The 2% of alpha mentioned seems like it could be rather unpredictable. Getting the longs or the shorts or both wrong could easily result in a lag. The article makes it seem like the longs and shorts would be bottoms up stock picking which potentially adds in a layer of volatility.
I am not necessarily drawn to the specific strategy of the fund but I find it interesting that there may be more attention given to concepts that focus more on low beta absolute returns. Here I am not talking about strategies that try to shoot the lights out but more along the lines of capturing most of the return of the market with just a fraction of the volatility.
On a completely unrelated note; this picture is from Bolivia. Holy cow!

Roger, a few years ago we were backpacking the beautiful country of Bolivia - the road in your photo is probably the infamous Yungas Road nicknamed the 'The Most Dangerous Road in the World' starts high up in the mountains near La Paz and goes down to the jungles by Coroico with 3000ft drop-offs along the way. The locals will happily sell mountain bike rides down it that include tourist spots to view the remains of overturned trucks and buses - yes it's a 2 way road!

From La Paz in Bolivia, you can take a dirt road that descends about 12,500 feet east to the junle. There are tour operators that offer the route by mountain bike. Just watch out for the big trucks and 5,000 ft. drop.

The PS2 version is even better than the DS version, as it should be.
The game is relatively short, but still is a delight for the eyes. The story is familiar but presented very well, and has broad appeal – just like the characters.
As movie games go it's rare that we get anything original, so Arthur and the Invisibles is a welcome commodity even if the movie is getting unjustly hammered by critics. [Feb 2007, p.38]
Giving you a multi-genre gaming experience in one title is innovative, and Atari really shines with the progressive steps they have taken to improve upon the tried and true formula of platform games.
A really engrossing game that is only let down by the lack of pace. [Mar 2007, p.70]
Arthur and the Invisibles does a fine job of blending different gameplay styles. It packs plenty of action and puzzles, as well as a high degree of polish throughout.
A combat sequence here, an elaborate puzzle there - Arthur earns no originality merit, but damn if it doesn't come together well. Just bare through those first 10 minutes.
It's very well-made; it just fits too well into its mold: the middle-of-the-road move conversion.
An enjoyable mix of puzzles and platforms, Arthur & The Invisibles is better than perhaps expected, thanks to that level of variety. Certainly one for fans of the animated movie to go through as they wait for Arthur to arrive on DVD in a few months time.
Because of its high production values, fans of the movie will undoubtedly enjoy this movie tie-in, but the epic scope of the adventure is hampered by the unoriginal gameplay.
I was pleasantly surprised with Arthur and the Invisibles. It steals acrobatic fighting and platforming elements from "Price of Persia" and contextual button pressing finishers from "God of War."
The title remains mediocre in most categories, and there really isn't anything remarkable here.
It just gets repetitive from time to time and suffers from average graphics and annoying British accents.
Accomplished if unsurprising, and beter than we expected it to be. [Mar 2007, p.78]
Let's just slap a score and a verdict on the bottom here and we can all forget the game ever happened.
A platformer with promise, but it makes the gamer work far too hard for the few moments of magic that it provides. [Feb 2007, p.68]
To make matters worse, the game has some spotty A.I., repetitive combat, and some irritating portions that can be made even more so by the camera. [Mar 2007, p.86]
Good graphics and intelligent level design help to make this a worthy enough companion to Arthur's elaborate adventures on the big screen.
Hitting numerous switches, pushing blocks and battling easy opponents gets old fast. Arthur's definitely better than most movie licensed video games, but not by much.
The actual amount of fun you'll have playing is as miniscule as the Invisibles themselves. An adult-difficulty kids game that makes you swear like an OAP? No, thanks.
If nothing more, this mostly broken game exists purely as a way to cash-in on the latest CG snoozer not starring anthropomorphic animals. At least the packaging has glitter on it. Really, it does.
An insufferably boring platformer unworthy of attention. [Issue #150, p.91]

Just to clarify, the point of the theme isn't just to have cat pictures. The idea is to make pictures that are inspired by Dali's original.
They should be pictures of cats drooping down, hanging over and looking like melting timepieces, reminiscent of the one's in "Persistence of Memory" only with cats.
The only acceptable Lolcat caption would be, "I can has flaming phone book?"

They were instead swallowed whole by the beast. The brothers survived inside [[Kurama]] for two weeks by eating the beast's flesh; this would eventually lead to the fox regurgitating them. This left them with unusually large [[chakra]]-reserves and abilities similar to those of a [[jinchūriki]].<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 527, page 5</ref><ref>''Naruto'' chapter 529, pages 3-4</ref><ref>''Naruto'' chapter 594, page 6</ref> With their new-found powers, the brothers assaulted the [[Second Raikage]], during his peace pact with the Second Hokage [[Tobirama Senju]], to stage a coup d'etat. Managing to bring the Second Hokage to the verge of death, the brothers are declared disgraces for their actions. Despite this, they are still highly respected in Kumo for their strength and skill.<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 527, page 4</ref><ref>''Naruto'' chapter 528, page 3</ref> The brothers' fate after the ambush was never revealed, but they eventually died, taking with them four of the five treasures. == Appearance == The brothers share similar appearances to one another. They are both muscular in physique with Kinkaku being the larger of the two. Their hair is styled like headdresses — the colour of which reflect their names (gold and silver respectively). They also have what appeared to be horns and wore similar attires to one another. Each also had the first kanji of their name tattooed to their shoulder, and whisker-like marks on their faces.<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 525, pages 9-10</ref> As a result of their ability to survive ingesting a tailed beast's flesh, The Fourth Raikage [[A]] believed the two to be related to the [[Sage of Six Paths]].<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 529, page 4</ref> This assumption is furthered by them using the [[Treasured Tools of the Sage of the Six Paths]] in battle. == Part II == === Shinobi World War Arc === [[File:Rikudō Sennin no Hōgu.png|thumb|left|The brothers using the Treasured Tools of the Sage of the Six Paths.]] During the Fourth Shinobi War, [[Kabuto Yakushi]] [[Summoning: Impure World Reincarnation|reanimates]] the Gold and Silver brothers; their presence alone almost provoked A into completely disregarding his duties as leader of the [[Allied Shinobi Forces]] in order to personally confront the brothers on the battlefield as he informs the others how dangerous the two are.<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 525, page 11</ref> Soon after, the brothers confront [[Darui]] of the [[First Division]] along with [[Samui]] and [[Atsui]] before the brothers sealed them away in the [[Benihisago]] despite Darui's attempt to save the former by severing Kinkaku and him and Ginkaku with his [[Storm Release: Laser Circus]] attack. Darui manages to counter the brothers' method of entrapment and uses the [[Shichiseiken]] to trap Ginkaku in the Benihisago. This act infuriates Kinkaku as he transforms into his [[Version 2|six-tailed, Version 2 form]]. With [[Team 10]] summoned to his side with the [[Kohaku no Jōhei]] as Ino uses her [[Mind Body Switch Technique]] to take possession of Kinkaku's body to force him into activating the Kohaku no Jōhei to suck in Kinkaku along with the [[Kōkinjō]]. However, as the first day of the war comes to an end, [[Tobi]] takes the Benihisago and the Kohaku no Jōhei intending to make use of the brothers' Nine-Tails chakra. The next day, Tobi tosses the Benihisago and the Kohaku no Jōhei into the [[Demonic Statue of the Outer Path]] to summon an incomplete version of "[[Ten Tails|it]]". == Trivia == * Both Kinkaku and Ginkaku are based on two characters from the Chinese classic "''[[Wikipedia:Journey to the West|Journey to the West]]''". In this story; the siblings are two demon king brothers, known as the {{translation|Great King Kinkaku|金角大王|Kinkaku-daiō}} and the {{translation|Great King Ginkaku|銀角大王|Ginkaku-daiō}}, who live in the {{translation|Lotus Cave|蓮華洞|Rengedō}} on {{translation|Mount Heichō|平頂山|Heichōzan}}. They possess five treasured tools, called the {{translation|Amber Purifying Pot|琥珀の浄瓶|Kohaku no Jōhei}}, the {{translation|Seven Star Sword|七星剣|Shichiseiken}}, the {{translation|Banana Palm Fan|芭蕉扇|Bashōsen}}, the {{translation|Golden Canopy Rope|幌金縄|Kōkinjō}} and the {{translation|Crimson Gourd|紅葫蘆|Benihisago}}. Amongst these, the pot and the gourd are capable of sucking in their opponents and melting them, once they are trapped within. Ginkaku is also said to have a technique that allows him to move mountains. ** The demon king brothers' mother and uncle also appeared in the novel. Their uncle, Hu A'qi was a fox that fought with a halberd and lived close to his nephews. Their mother was a nine-tailed fox in the disguise of an old woman who lived in the Dragon-suppressing Cave. The fact the demon king brothers' mother was a nine-tailed fox, is an allusion to how Kinkaku and Ginkaku possess Kurama's chakra after being trapped in its stomach. * There are slight differences between the Gold and Silver Brothers' appearance in the anime and the manga. On the cover of volume 56, the brothers have a white rectangular marking on their nose. In the anime however the white marking is simply an outline. The cover of [[Reunited, Team Asuma! (volume)|volume 56]] also depicts the brothers with a noticeably darker complexion while in the anime, they are fair-skinned. == References == <references/> [[de:Die Kin-Gin-Brüder]] Summary: Minor edit Follow this page Cancel

Gwinnett Daily Post
BUFORD - A Buford woman was released on a $5,600 bond from the Gwinnett County Detention Center Thursday after being arrested on charges of animal cruelty Wednesday morning.
Dora L. Russel, 43, had been charged with one misdemeanor count of cruelty to animals, but could face more citations. According to Cpl. Darren Moloney, spokesman for the Gwinnett County Police Department, investigators with Gwinnett police, Animal Control and the state Health Department executed a search warrant and seized about 100 animals from her residence. "Animal control received a complaint of possible animal cruelty at [Russel's] residence," Moloney said. "General Crimes used the assistance of the state Health Department because of the deplorable living conditions of the house." Moloney said the smell was so bad that the odor could be detected from the street, and a breathing apparatus was needed for inside the house. The investigators seized approximately 17 dogs, three cats and 21 birds, Moloney said. Additionally there were individual aquariums inside the house that contained 50 field mice. "Animal control is in the process of documenting each animal case so that they can administer the proper number of citations," Moloney said. Russel was arrested for the same offense in 2002, according to Moloney. In that offense there were 200 animals removed from the same house. "Gwinnett County Animal Control issued her 93 citations on that past offense," Moloney said.More like this story
