A hedge fund prince has become the namesake of a frog.
A new species of brown frog recently discovered has been named for ADM Capital's Rob Appleby. Hong Kong-based ADM's charitable foundation funded the research mission in Vietnam that led to the discovery of the two-centimeter-long amphibian, which now goes by the name Leptolalax applebyi, or Appleby's Asian toad to friends.
The discovery was made by Jodi Rowley, an amphibian biologist at the Australian Museum in Sydney.
But is it an honor or an insult? The Appleby toad sounds rather like a cricket, Asian Investor reports, making a high-pitched squeaking noise, and is apparently most comfortable whilst hiding amidst rotting leaves. Still, despite the similarity or lack thereof to its benefactor, the ADM Capital Foundation plans to celebrate the discovery this week.

MasterCraft Pro Wakeboard Tour Lathrop / Jul.2.2014
Lathrop, CA. – The final day of action at the MasterCraft Pro Wakeboard Tour presented by Rockstar saw the sport's top riders laying it all on the line in hopes of walking away victorious in Lathrop. A relentless competitive streak, matched by a heroic effort in the finals, earned Harley Clifford top honors at the Tour's second stop of the season.
Thousands of enthusiastic fans lined the beach at Mossdale Quarry Lakes, and Clifford was able to channel their energy into his innovative finals performance. His contest-winning run featured next level riding, while maintaining a commitment to fundamentals. Clifford boosted his way to victory off the X-Star's massive wake with equally huge toe and heel side aerials complimented by sound rail riding. The well balanced run was enough to separate him from the pack of world class co-finalists including Shota Tezuka, Tony Iacconi, Rusty Malinoski, Steel Lafferty and Jason Bannatyne.
"When I saw the field for the finals I knew needed a sick run to win," said Clifford, who has claimed both Pro Tour wins this season. "Everyone was riding great all weekend, I was able to hit the tricks I needed to and I'm stoked to walk away the winner!"
Prior to the Pro Men's finals, fans witnessed one of the most exciting spectacles in wakeboarding – the CONTOUR Big Air Contest. The larger-than-life specialty event featured a contingent of the best Pro Men riders launching from a ramp performing gigantic rotating aerials that are rarely attempted in a traditional contest setting. Dean Smith drilled a jaw-dropping backside 720 to claim victory, while leaving fans and fellow riders in awe.

A classic stock-picking strategy called "growth at a reasonable price," or GARP, calls for finding companies whose stock valuations look low compared with their long-term growth rates. That's simple and sensible, and seemingly perfect at a moment when the market is hitting new highs. But there are problems with the approach, not least of which is a shortage at the moment of cheap growers.
Revenues for firms in the Standard & Poor's 500 index slipped last quarter, according to Thomson Reuters I/B/E/S. And investors have already piled into obvious growers, leaving them expensive. Netflix nflx 1.8805603105335487% Netflix Inc. U.S.: Nasdaq USD422.57 7.8 1.8805603105335487% /Date(1427749200211-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 1888754 AFTER HOURS USD422.15 -0.420000000000016 -0.0993918167404217% Volume (Delayed 15m) : 7300 P/E Ratio 95.17342342342343 Market Cap 25092755251.029 Dividend Yield N/A Rev. per Employee 2246800 More quote details and news » (ticker: NFLX), for example, sells for 25 times its projected earnings—for 2017.
A third problem is measurement. GARP investors often rely heavily on the "PEG ratio," which divides a stock's price/earnings ratio by Wall Street's long-term earnings-growth forecasts to tell which stocks offer good growth potential for the money. But long-term forecasts are often stale or otherwise unreliable; Apple aapl 2.5314401622718052% Apple Inc. U.S.: Nasdaq USD126.37 3.12 2.5314401622718052% /Date(1427749200851-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 46530466 AFTER HOURS USD126.45 0.0799999999999983 0.06330616443776213% Volume (Delayed 15m) : 569204 P/E Ratio 16.917001338688085 Market Cap 717900196777.344 Dividend Yield 1.48769486428741% Rev. per Employee 2153110 More quote details and news » (AAPL) is still forecast to lift earnings by more than 20% a year over the next five years, even though its earnings fell 18% last quarter.
What's an investor to do? One alternative is to look for companies that haven't been especially good growers in the past, but whose growth rates are poised to jump. Their shares may not look like bargains next to today's muted earnings, but are likely good deals nonetheless. Examples include Conn's conn -3.759650889560255% Conn's Inc. U.S.: Nasdaq USD28.67 -1.12 -3.759650889560255% /Date(1427749200100-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 1553294 AFTER HOURS USD28.85 0.18 0.6278339727938612% Volume (Delayed 15m) : 14036 P/E Ratio 14.553299492385786 Market Cap 1081287689.59534 Dividend Yield N/A Rev. per Employee 394336 More quote details and news » (CONN), BioScrip bios -2.0547945205479454% BioScrip Inc. U.S.: Nasdaq USD4.29 -0.09 -2.0547945205479454% /Date(1427749200066-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 1070782 AFTER HOURS USD4.29 % Volume (Delayed 15m) : 11937 P/E Ratio N/A Market Cap 300630072.399559 Dividend Yield N/A Rev. per Employee 503353 More quote details and news » (BIOS), JDS Uniphase jdsu 1.2326656394453004% JDS Uniphase Corp. U.S.: Nasdaq USD13.14 0.16 1.2326656394453004% /Date(1427749200119-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 2562971 AFTER HOURS USD12.9526 -0.1874 -1.426179604261796% Volume (Delayed 15m) : 9204 P/E Ratio N/A Market Cap 3020251161.79581 Dividend Yield N/A Rev. per Employee 340647 More quote details and news » (JDSU), and AFC Enterprises (AFCE).
The key to this strategy is to look for companies experiencing midlife growth spurts. Those can occur because of things like new hit products, talented new management, or external factors, and investors who spot them early can get a good deal on shares. Data screens for things like accelerating sales growth can help in spotting such opportunities, but so can a keen eye following a particular industry. We collected the names below from analysts who have recently been named top stockpickers in the Best on the Street rankings published by The Wall Street Journal.
Conn's sells home furnishings, electronics, and appliances through a small store chain located mostly in Texas. It specializes in customers with limited cash and less-than-perfect credit; some 70% of sales use in-store financing. That model helps protect the company from price competition from the likes of Amazon.com amzn 1.0875431778929188% Amazon.com Inc. U.S.: Nasdaq USD374.59 4.03 1.0875431778929188% /Date(1427749200567-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 1779794 AFTER HOURS USD374.87 0.28000000000003 0.07474839157478844% Volume (Delayed 15m) : 41139 P/E Ratio N/A Market Cap 172082134901.406 Dividend Yield N/A Rev. per Employee 577469 More quote details and news » (AMZN), and the loan interest adds to profit. It can also add bank-like risk, but lately, average credit scores for the company's loan portfolio have been rising, and the percentage of loans needing extensions has fallen. Conn's is benefiting from a turnaround in housing and from store remodels; it has converted storage space in some stores to 25% more selling space for high-margin items with good momentum, like mattresses. It has closed underperforming stores opened during a past, unsuccessful foray into upscale markets, and now wants to focus growth in its core middle-income markets. The store count could triple or quadruple over the long term, and so could earnings, says Bradley Thomas of KeyBanc, who calls the stock a top pick.
Health care isn't a growth hot spot at the moment. The jobless are forgoing doctor visits, while cost pressures are bringing prices down. But BioScrip stands to benefit from a coming wave of complex medicines to treat diseases like cancer, and from efforts to reduce costly hospital stays. Most drugs already on the market are taken orally, but a majority of ones awaiting Food and Drug Administration approval require injection, according to Jefferies analyst Brian Tanquilut. BioScrip specializes in providing drug-infusion therapies in patient homes rather than in hospitals, which saves health insurers money. Sales for the business have recently been growing more than 20%. BioScrip is expected to swing to profitability this year, and lift profits quickly from a small base, including a more than 50% bump up next year.
JDS UNIPHASE MAKES a broad range of communications equipment used by wireless and broadband companies. Sales and earnings aren't growing at the moment because of a lull in spending by wireless companies, but demand for data traffic continues to build. That means growth should resume soon. Sales gains should top 10% in both 2014 and 2015, accompanied by a rise in profit margins, according to James Moorman at S&P Capital IQ. One particularly promising area for the company, he says, is the increased use of "small cell" infrastructure to fill in gaps in high-speed wireless coverage. By placing communications gear on existing infrastructure, including sports arenas, office buildings, and traffic lights in city centers, carriers can increase coverage at low cost.
POPEYES, THE CAJUN chicken chain, is making a comeback, and shares of parent AFC Enterprises have doubled in two years. There could be plenty more growth ahead. New management has closed underperforming stores and introduced popular new menu items (Rip'n Chick'n), but most important, it has rolled out basic restaurant tactics the company lacked, like measuring the speed of drive-through service, and using national rather than local ad campaigns. Sales are rising by double digits, and Michael Gallo at CL King sees potential for much more growth. "Chicken concepts travel well to overseas markets, and so does spicy food," he says. Popeyes has significantly fewer stores in the U.S. than KFC, and less than 5% as many overseas. Its franchise model means it can grow on the cheap. Gallo reckons each 100 new stores adds 20 to 25 cents to earnings per share.
Poised for a Jump in Profits
Earnings for these four companies should begin growing faster, giving shares a lift.

Receive Breaking News updates as they occur
Foreign ministers from major powers pressed their Iranian counterpart on Monday as they sought to slot into place the final but also the trickiest pieces of a deal curtailing Tehran's nuclear programme as Tuesday's deadline loomed. Britain's Philip Hammond said as he became the last of the foreign ministers to arrive in a rainy Switzerland that they "believe a deal can be done".

I just kegged my 1st brew (an ESB) the other day. I let it chill to about 34-36 dergrees and did the 30 psi shake thing for a day. I set the pressure to about 12 psi for the past couple of days to let the carbonation settle and get to where I can drink it soon. I am under the understanding that since I am using a cobra tap, I need to have a dispensing pressure of just a couple psi...true?
So today I ran the pressure down to 2 psi and tried to poor a pint. Surprise, surprise, it was all bubbles. I purged the pressure from the keg and tried again a few minutes later. It wasn't as bad, but the beer is definitely over carbonated.
I was hoping to take this keg to a party tomorrow night and am not sure what to do. I was thinking about leaving the pressure at 10 psi tonight and running it down tomorrow after work to my serving pressure of 2 psi...any suggestions?
You will probably have to purge the headspace, and let the pressure equalize severa, more times to get the foaming to stop.
Don't know anything about cobra taps
Good luck.
I had the same problem with a batch.
I ended up unlocking the lid and letting it sit over night to degauss.
Next night I fastened the lid back on and set it to serving PSI (5-6) and it was okay.
Your results may vary.
I don't shake any more. If I'm in a hurry, I set it to 30PSI for exactly 36-48 hours at 37 degrees and then back down to serving and it's always right on.
You could do this:
Open the lid...keep it chilled...sanitize a spoon or ladle and give the beer inside a slight swirl to release some gas. Don't aerate the beer.
You're basically force flattening the beer. Do this for a bit, lock the lid back on...set to 5PSI and pour and see. Repeat if necessary.
*******Check Out My Rolling KegeratorBierMuncher Tried & Trues: Tits-Up IIPA (3-Time Medalist), Black Pearl Porter, Kona Pale Ale, Outer Limits IPA, Centennial Blonde (4.0%), Nierra Sevada (SNPA), SWMBO Slayer Belgian Blonde,
Thanks for the quick responses guys!
I think you may have an issue with the length of your beer line. I use about 5-6 feet of 3/16 line and set to 10-12 PSI. Once I vent the gas from force carbing, I never have a problem with foaming. Just an idea.
I just sanitized a spoon and tried giving the beer a slow stir to release some carbonation...and WOW! A word to the wise who try this, don't stir too much, The amount of carbonation must be through the roof cause it just about over flowed and made a huge mess.
Shoop: I'm using about the same amount of 3/16 line.
I purged the head space and turned the reg down to about 2-4psi and it poured perfectly. Thanks for the advice BierMuncher!
What approximate CO2 level will you get at 60 hours at about 37 degrees?
I would be afraid of that long myself, but I trust you know what you are doing, especially if you have repeated it !!
I need a system because I am not going to wait 2-3 weeks for the beer to carbonate.

Welcome to Trinity Lutheran Church
Lutheran Church Missouri Synod - Norman, Oklahoma
"In grateful response to God's grace and empowered by the Holy Spirit through Word and Sacraments, the mission of The Lutheran Church--Missouri Synod is vigorously to make known the love of Christ by word and deed within our churches, communities, and the world." -LCMS Mission Statement
Greetings in the Lord Jesus Christ!
From the Pastor
David Nehrenz
Dear Fellow Redeemed,
This month we are in the season of Lent and the beginning of Holy Week. Four of the six Wednesday Lenten Vespers Service are this month (Wed. March 4,11,18,25) with the theme: "In Silent Pain the Eternal Son." The services begin at 7:30 p.m. and at 6:30 p.m. there will be a Soup and Salad Supper provided by various members of our church and its boards.
The first verse of LSB 432 sets the tone for the whole season of Lent:
In silent pain the eternal Son, Hangs derelict and still;
In darkened day His work is done, Fulfilled, His Father's will.
Uplifted for the world to see, He hangs in strangest victory,
For in His body on the tree, He carries all our ill
The 40 days of Lent are a time for prayer, fasting and repentance over the sin of taking God's gifts for granted. Instead, do not neglect your holy obligation to be present among the saints in receiving God's gifts to us and offering your bodies as living sacrifices to God, holy and pleasing in His sight! Be with us for all of our Lenten services! Please read about these services in this newsletter.
The Holy Week Services will then begin with Palm Sunday on March 29th with both 8:00 a.m. and 10:30 a.m. Divine Services of Holy Communion. Special hymns and music with the choir and the children will prepare for us the events of Holy Week.
We encourage you to attend the worship services taking us to the Cross of Calvary and the Empty Tomb.
The ancient tradition of these Passiontide services draws us into the wondrous love of God in the Divine Drama by which He intervened in human history. And Divine Drama it is indeed!
Read all four Gospel accounts of the Passion of Christ and then plan to attend the Lenten and Holy Week services:
- March 29th Palm Sunday Communion Services 8:00 and 10:30
- April 2nd Maundy Thursday Communion Service 7:30 p.m.
- April 3rd Good Friday Services 9:00 a.m., 12:00 noon, 3:00 p.m., 7:30 p.m. - Tenebrae
- April 4th Holy Saturday Easter Vigil with Holy Communion 9:00 p.m. (earlier this year)
- April 5th Easter Sunday Festival of the Resurrection Communion Services 8:00 and 10:30 a.m.
In our King and our Suffering Servant Jesus,
Pastor Nehrenz
From the Vicar
John Zimmerman
As we're hitting the halfway point of the Spring Semester, this would be a good time to recap some of the goings on over in the Campus Ministry area of Trinity Lutheran Church's three-point ministry focus:
It's been a joy and honor to serve as the point-person for the Oklahoma District campus ministry at the University of Oklahoma this year. It takes many hands to make this work, including the supportive members here at Trinity with your time, talents and treasure to keep the house and van in good shape, cooking those lovely homemade dinners for the students (and the Vicar) and of course, the students.
While undergraduate students have a wide-array of calendars here in Norman and back home, it's been a particular blessing to see the number of active students grow up in numbers a bit this year. The bulk of active members are freshmen and sophomores and it is my prayerful hope that they will continue their involvement after my tenure of Vicar is up here. They're a great bunch of folks that enjoy diving into God's Word in Bible Study and know how to kick back and relax during a movie/game night or a trip to hike in the Wichita Mountains.
During this Spring Break, we will be taking some road trips in Oklahoma together to enjoy some of the greater and lesser known places of interest around this fine state. One of the days will be a "hometown tourist" day here in Norman and the 6-day calendar of events will end on Saturday, March 21, with helping with the cleanup day here at Trinity. I'm hopeful for a good turnout throughout the week and that cleanup day.
As some have heard me say, this is a slightly different campus ministry paradigm than what I'm used to up in the Great Lakes region and that's A-OK. On the journey so far, it's been a blast overall. Each week brings its own set of opportunities. The discussions at our weekly Bible Studies are solid. One of the biggest lessons learned so far by Vicar #25 is to "plan well, but go with the flow as needed." That lesson was learned in my former Admissions career and it's good to be reminded about the joy that can come from an unexpected change in plans.
I've been working with this fine group of college students on planning and such. We will be having a 2015-2016 kickoff planning meeting next month. I'm hopeful for a solid framework to be laid down by the students for the launch of the next academic year. The energy of the members of this group is high. It's a joy to be connected with them this year and I look forward to learning of their respective paths throughout their Earthly journey as they continue grounded in the true Faith, fed by Jesus in His Word and Sacrament.
Peace in Christ,
Vicar John Zimmerman

NYFW street style will, without a doubt, blow people away this February. With the cold freezing bones, and a few wind gusts here and there, everything in a person's closet will be in use with a big coat. Here are a few outfit ideas using Stella McCartney that could be seen on on the streets. Tee Dresses, platform shoes, and open-vcut blazers are extremely in this summer. (PS: you don't want to be in 27 degree weather in these outfits without a large coat)XOXO

Arm Candy is always fun, and 2015 is full of it!
Most high-end designers are using cuffs to promote this spring lines this year. Fendi is all about the Fur monsters, Balenciaga with it's chunky metal and python, and even Alexander McQueen with it's famous silky leather and silver skull. Louis Vuitton has even gone out of it's way to make over 50 variations of leather cuffs. Here are a few of my favorite!
Top Left to Right: Balenciaga, Salvatore Ferragamo, Balenciaga
Middle Left to Right: McQueen, Valentino, Louis Vuitton
Bottom Left to Right: Givenchy, McQueen, Givenchy
These bracelets range from 300-1000 dollars. You can find cheaper alternatives on NastyGal.com, UrbanOutfitters.com, and RevolveClothing.com

The first thing to think about when selecting a prom dress are the two C's: Color and Cut
– If you want a specific color, that cuts your options by 1/10, and that's incredibly helpful.
-If you want a leg split, an open back, or even a low V down the cleavage, you options also significantly shrink.
Now, once you now Color and Cut, you can find a price range and start looking!
If you dont want to spend more than 800 dollars, do not go on Saks or Neiman. Your best bet is to try Revolve, BCBGMAXARIA, or even Nasty Gal. I would stray from Prom Girl and Sherri Hill
Now, it's time to accessorize. Shoes come first. When purchasing shoes for prom, the most important thing is comfort. The easiest way to assure comfort is platformed heels. Here are a few options that could amplify your height, and keep your feet happy.
Prada, Gucci, Jeffrey Campbell
Then comes the bag. The best way to not lose your bag, is to use a bag with a chain or strap. I recommend using a side bag that could reverse as a clutch for pictures. For example, the YSL chain bag, the Jimmy Choo clutches, or the small Chanel.
Jewelry is very personal. But you get the point. Prom is extremely stressful if you are not prepared. Also, you dont have to splurge on bags and shoes!! These are simply example of shapes and colors that would be to your benefit.

I was able to get some plain white tees at H&M for $2.95, and was able to browse Urban Outfitters at midnight, Unknown and Victoria Secret. I left around 1am and headed to catch some rest for the heavy day ahead,
On Friday, Black Friday, I woke up around 6am and headed back to Aventura mall. My targets were Bloomingdales, Nordstroms, Saks, Unknown, and high end stores to see what they offered.
I went straight to bloomingdales and hit the jackpot! The sales were insane, especially because i am a B Insider. High end jeans were 99-150 from 300+, the coats were 50$ off of every 100$, the sale section was an extra 40%-50% off, and much much much more. I was flustered but excited. For every 100$ spent, Bloomingdales gave you a 15$ B card. (Everything was purchased for great prices for the actual value of the item)
A pair of Paige distressed black jeans
2 winter coats
Prada candy perfume
Free People Brallette
Then i proceeded to Unknown and got a large men's floral teeshirt that i wear as a dress. I also purchased a sweater dress at Urban Outfitters.
Black Friday was fantastic and so was Cyber Monday in my case. I do think most stores lacked sales for Cyber Monday though.
Look at my follow up on Cyber Monday soon

Here are a couple outfit ideas that could make the bag the bold statement! I am also loving the new Givenchy pin heel in white and black, the new "the real" Christian Dior mirrored sunglasses, and the new collection Rag and Bone tee dress!
And this is how i would potentially style the bag if i wanted to keep the bag as just an accessory, not the star of the outfit
05 Wednesday Nov 2014
This year, my school had homecoming precisely the week before Halloween on Friday the 31st of October. Our Wednesday theme was movie characters, and my senior grade was assigned "thrillers". Being that I somewhat resemble a little girl with my Miley buns, so i decided the best outfit was Ester from the scary movie, The
Orphan. Here is my take on the character!
And here is a picture of the actual character, Ester.
The night of Halloween, I went out with some friends to a halloween party and decided to be the person i've always wanted, A Calvin Klein boy model. I wore the #mycalvins set of boy shorts and bra in grey, with some boy shorts, and a white ribbed crop top from TopShop. I also added a vintage Christian Dior jacket with the outfit last minute because it was somewhat chilly at night. I wore my hair in buns and a pair of adidas classics with crew socks.
Here is a quick mirror picture of my outfit of the night! I always enjoy choosing someone or something unique to be, and see the final result of the pieces i put together! (the Moschino mirror phone case was a bad choice)
if you want more post like this, let me know! Don't forget to tell me what you think!

What It TakesAsuka Kazama's day started off bad, but that wasn't anything new.What It Takes in Short Stories More Like This
Her bike had been wrecked a few days ago by petty punks looking for revenge from a beat down she had supplied to them. Now she was stuck hoofing it to school on foot until she could get a new one.
On her way to school this morning, she interrupted a bunch of hoodlums trying to rob an old lady. 'How cliché can you get,' she had thought. After hurriedly making sure the punks learned their lesson and the old lady was alright, she sprinted the rest of the distance to make it to school in time.
or would have, had she not been ambushed by Lili right in front of the Mishima Polytechnic High School's front gates. The rich snob even had the nerve to complain to her for being late for their "destined fight"! 'Crazy girl never gets any sense knocked into her, no matter how many beat downs I dish out!' she noted.
"Come, Asuka," Lili said, proud arrogance etched in her voice, "Let this fight finally show you
What It Takes: Round 2Asuka had wasted no time in returning to the village and changing back to her street clothes. She immediately left the village, not wanting to stick around for the ninja girl to reappear. The entire day's experience annoyed her to no end. She hated how helpless she felt and hated Ibuki for forcefully putting her into that situation in the first place. Contract or no, she wanted out of this craziness. She spent the rest of the day around town, trying to take her mind off of things.What It Takes: Round 2 in Short Stories More Like This
On her way home, she ran into a couple of punks trying to shake down a businessman for his money. 'Forget window shopping, THIS is a proper stress relief!' she thought, an almost feral grin forming on her face.
She easily disposed of the first three, but as she turned to finish things by knocking out the last one, she saw that he had already taken off. If there was one thing she had to give him credit for, he sure could run pretty fast.
She chased him down relentlessly for the next ten minutes,

Neasa sat in her captain's chair on the main deck of the Graceful Beauty, lost in thought. It had been a day since the failed hunt for the ninja known as Sanae, a fact that had been driving her crazy. 'It has been almost a year since I last performed a less than satisfactory hunt ' she reflected moodily as she munched on a cracker.
Crackers had always been a comfort food for the girl for as long as she could remember, so it was with much annoyance that she realized the box she held was emptied out as she reached in for another. "Butty, get me another box of crackers!" she called out, knowing her faithful butler Shibari-kun would be within earshot.
"Ah! Sorry mistress, but that was the last box!" Butty woefully reported.
"Well, that's just great." Neasa muttered as she stood up and stretched. "It'll be awhile before I can see the professor about those upgrades anyway " She paused to grab her purple overcoat, slipping it on. "We might as well go into town for a bit and r

Yuki stood alert, playing the role silent observer she was meant to be. Today, however, that role would prove to be a touch more hands-on than usual.
The aloof girl was joined by two of her companions; the meek and doe-eyed Mikuru and the boisterous bundle of energy that was Haruhi. Together, they had gathered at an outdoor café. That in itself wasn't unusual; at least in this small circle. Neither were the bunny girl outfits – tight, form fitting black and red corsets with dark pantyhose, wrist cuffs, heels, cottontails and fake bunny ears complimenting it - that the brunette and auburn-haired girls sported. The biggest difference, this time, was that the interface found herself adorned in matching attire as well. The corset, heels and ears were white; a fitting match for her creamy pale skin, Haruhi had proclaimed earlier that day.
"We've been searching high and low for mysteries, but we keep coming up short! We need a new, aggres

"Whew, what a long day!" Asuka complained, her yellow sundress swaying around her hips as she sauntered into the apartment.
Asuka had decided to spend this beautiful Sunday as any productive girl her age should; going on a shopping spree! Dragging a reluctant Hikari with her, the two had darted from store to store, amassing a nice collection of new clothing.
While fun, the day had also proven to be hotter than usual. Especially when she had opted to wear pantyhose! After she waved her friend goodbye, skin glistening with subtle beads of sweat over her body, all Asuka could think of doing now was kicking back and relaxing.
"Hey Misato!" she called, placing the bags in her hands down, "I'm back!"
Not one to wait for a response, she slipped off her stuffy red heels and made her way into the apartment proper, eager to deposit her new collection of clothing into her bedroom. On her way there she found herself pausing and doing a double take when she realized they had an unexpected guest.

Everything was set.
Neasa had wasted no time in barging right into Professor Humboldt's home after the Rebel-kun incident, all but demanding that he aid her immediately. Words were exchanged and eventually the professor relented, never being one to turn down a request from the daughter of his dear friends.
Due to time constraints, he had only managed to reinforce two of her Capture Squads. Each one was outfitted with enhanced shock plates to better resist impacts and protect their core's integrity.
Satisfied, Neasa gave the old man a quick hug and sped off with her tougher Shibari-kuns. She was ready to finally bring Sanae to justice.
She had scouts looking for any clues about the evasive ninja's whereabouts since their last run-in, but refocused her search parties efforts twofold after leaving the professor's lab, systematically sending Shibari-kuns to search every inch of wild terrain surrounding the forest.
'Ah, Neasa-sama!' a hushed voice piqued up over the radio she held, <

"Yup!" Hiyori cheerfully supplied from behind the taller girl. "Now stand still Patty, so I can finish this!"
The two girls were in Hiyori's bedroom, conducting a 'grand experiment' as per the glasses wearing otaku's request. Hiyori had ordered some equipment online and wanted to put it to good use. With the promise of giving away a rare Asahina Mikuru figurine to her blonde friend if she complied, Hiyori found the perfect test subject in Patty. Her friend had arrived in her yellow tank top and tan pants, ready to snag her prize.
"Ah, not so tight, not so tight!" Patty whined, wincing slightly.
"It's a straitjacket, silly!" Hiyori defended as she fastened a leather strap around her stomach. "It's gotta be tight!"
"I guess so " the blonde muttered, before perking up. "C'mon, the fate of the world rests on me getting my hands of that figure! Hurry up and tie me up so I can add it to my collection~"

For the first time in a long while, the Loyan family had gathered together to embark on a vacation. Queen Sara had been quite adamant about visiting the warm beaches of Darbor's shores, going out of her way to drag her husband King Antonio away from his busy schedule to do so.
Naturally, their two daughters, Nadia and Elvina had tagged along, both sharing their mother's excitement in getting a chance to kick back and relax under the sun. The Royal Guards Rui, Rika and Ruki and maid Marie rounded out the trope.
Unfortunately, by the time they got there the weather had proven to be cooler than they had expected. Rather than spending much time on the beach itself, they instead opted to relax within their private resort some distance away.
Despite the setback, the day passed by smoothly, the group still enjoying their change in location. All except one, who, much to her surprise, found herself thinking
"This is boring!" Elvina complained as she lounged on the resort's front patio.

"Yes?" Reiko asked, coming to a halt to address the pair. Though her body tensed slightly, she tried her best to be all smiles.
Haruhi glanced at Reiko's slightly exposed midriff, noting the slightly toned abs. Her eyes drifted to her equally toned arms, then darted down to her legs. Finally, Haruhi's gaze settled on Reiko's strained smile.
"Well, I was going to ask you if you've seen anything suspicious, but I'd say that you're plenty suspicious!" Haruhi accused, pointing a finger up at Reiko's face. If Haruhi seemed intimidated by her height and build, she wasn't showing it. Mikuru, on the other hand, looked utterly terrified. "S-Suzumiya, you can't say things like that to someone!" she cried out. Her fidgeting body, huddled nervously behind Haruhi, spoke volumes to Reiko – the girl was terrified.
Down to EarthIn the innermost chambers of the airship Graceful Beauty, Neasa sat with her boots kicked off. Two Shibari-kun robots attended to a pantyhose covered foot, gently massaging them as she relaxed. But despite the relaxed air and pleasant sensations, Neasa was anything but pleased.Down to Earth in Short Stories More Like This
There hadn't been much to do lately, with no new bounties posted since her last catch had been brought in, nor any promising leads to new heists to pull off on the sly. As much as she enjoyed having time to kick back and relax, she was beginning to get quite restless.
"Hmph surely there's something interesting to be done today." The purple haired woman said, shifting in her plush chair.
"Ahhhh, why don't you look at the bounty board again today, Neasa-sama!" one of the Shibari-kun's rubbing her feet helpfully supplied. In response, she lightly poked at its 'face' with her toes, humming to herself in thought.

I, a child birthed in chains
Raised in a cage
But on this day- they will break
I was taught self-hatred
Learning that the differences were divided
Among the people who are considered "civilized "
Forcefully combining my fear and envy
As I was raised in the middle of this society
My power and pride were deprived of me
I was only an empty vessel
Believing that all promises were fabled
But once upon a calm- I witnessed hope's revival
Wings sprout from my tongue / Words from my soul are sung
A new voice's journey has begun / Let the era of silence be undone
Obtaining peace of mind / Experiencing freedom of heart
Allowing the colors to shine / The future will blind the scars
I had to fight the system; I had to stop the cycle
It was either my downfall or survival
So I reversed this downward spiral

Devotion has no means to an end
There is only hope and strength to be lent
Just like the void called the sky
Even the clouds don't hinder sight
A storm could be brewing
And lightning could be striking
But there is no fear dwelling
Only a calm, tranquil feeling
A rarity itself
An enigma that stands out
A peace that transcends
An energy that ascends
A strong person who is still only human
An outcome of living within the moment
Like a stunning sunrise
Shunning out an ominous evening night
Piercing through that unending blanket of darkness
To see the light of day again, it tells me that I've made it
The sun rays hit and land
And starts to melt the doubt from my hands
The will to endure
The wisdom to acquire
There are no word

That which you still kept
So I don't want to sound dishonest, but out of us, you are the strongest
You make sure to protect
To you, everyone, and everything is dearest
None left to neglect
But with all of that, you take on those heavy burdens
And try your best

Something deep within me / Is longing for relief
A haunting aura around me / Reminding me of the grief
Scratching at the core of my soul / Hope is swallowed by a black hole
Locked in the center of my heart / All that is left is the traumatized part
Laugh, smile, blink, and focus. You just need to act as normal as possible.
You cannot let this pain get the best of you. Don't do anything irresponsible.
The damage you do to yourself also effects everyone else, so don't let it become irreversible.
You're being too hard on yourself, no one is perfect in life, you're only human, you're not invincible!
Shock waves of guilt enter my system / While a deathly peace is in the distance
And aftershocks of regret strike me down / I can't show that I'm hurt when they're around
Tremors of anxiety / Infest my entire body

He threw you on the large bed of his, making you bounce two times, it was fluffy. 'The worst case scenario!!!' you yelled mentally. Lovino became a total pervert like his kind side left his body and the pervert side stayed. He locked the door and even shot it to prevent someone for coming in. He walks towards you and pinned both of your wrists.

The moment you swiftly your foot to kick that part, he instantly caught your leg without looking at the back.

He got out from the castle by disguising as a carriage man, thankfully it worked unbelievably, the security inside was so tight. Arthur went out to town to see what his people doing.
'Lively as always...' he thought to himself as he tied his white horse at the fences.
He always loved this town, the smell of the foods and the kind and cheerful people. He walked and walked until he got satisfied, and then, he saw a terribly familiar looking girl with a (h/c) hair and (e/c) eyes. He approached to her and talked to her without a second thought.
