Konica Autoreflex T3; solid, shutter priority automatic fully mechanical camera from before the days of DX. Depth of field preview, timer release, shutter speed ranging 1/1000 - 1 second + bulb and 1/125 flash synch. Meter is powered by two 1.35v cells that can last for years. Konica Hexanon glass is some of the best out there for 35mm SLR's, the 50mm f/1.7 being just as sharp as the Nikkor 50mm f/1.8.
Nikon FE/FG/FG20; just as small as the Konica, but with fully electronic shutter. It's an entry level camera in my eyes, but one served my Uncle well back in the 80's.

Aiken County employees woke up Wednesday to the news that they're going to see a bump in their pay.
Surely, it was a positive way to start the work day.
Aiken County Council made a host of adjustments to the 2013-14 budget at its Tuesday night meeting, and one of the amendments included a one-and-a-half percent cost of living increase for all employees. Another half percent has been set aside for merit increases after annual performance reviews are conducted.
Earlier this month, Aiken County Administrator Clay Killian promised Council members that he would come to them with several options of how to make raises possible.
With the help of staff, Killian presented to Council about $1.2 million of unanticipated additional revenue from delinquent tax collections, personal property taxes and the reinstatement of the Local Government Fund by the State.
Killian added that the County is remaining conservative with its budgeting, more so than it should, but it's to assure balance and good fiscal responsibility.
So, the County managed to help its employees earn a little extra cash and probably boost their morale a bit as well. And, they did all of this without raising taxes.
Setting aside funds for merit raises is also a smart move. As Councilman Scott Singer said, awarding an employee for going above and beyond sets an incentive for other employees to work hard and offer their best while on the job.
This could be a very positive sign for things to come for the County. The recession has hurt local governments across the country, and Aiken County has certainly felt the pain.
With more competitive salaries, the County can attract some outstanding employees to fill vacant positions and the pay increase will hopefully keep those high performers on staff for a while. Maintaining experienced people who are already trained saves the County time and money. Skilled employees are a valuable asset to any organization.
A government entity is only as strong as the people who work for it, and making the effort to improve compensation for employees can go a long way.

Due to [[ContinuityReboot the nature]] [[MythologyGag of the remake]], all of the characters on this page are [[CanonForeigner Canon Foreigners]] by default, or are so far removed from their original iterations that they might as well '''be''' canon foreigners.
The translated default character profiles (without the spoilers added) are care of [[http://www.ourstarblazers.com/696_2199charaguide/index.html Tim Eldred's Starblazer's site]], which were translated in turn from [[http://yamato2199.net/character.html the official website character page]].
[[folder: Crew of the ''Yamato'']]
!!'''Kaoru Niimi'''
-->'''Voiced by:''' AyaHisakawa
Science & Technology Officer, Intelligence Division. Originally from Kyoto. She's a talented woman in the technical division whom Sanada relies upon, and is one of his juniors from back in the academy. Specialties include enemy tactical and data analysis. She also has a doctorate in psychology and acts as the ship's counselor.
She and Mamoru Kodai were in a relationship, but broke up before the Battle of Pluto.
[[spoiler:She is one of Serizawa's plants in the ship's crew, and a proponent of the scrapped Izumo Plan. She goes along with the mutiny later on, even going so far as to try to seduce Shima, but when she learns of the extreme measures that Ito plans to implement, relents at the last moment.]]
* [[spoiler: EvenEvilHasStandards: Defies Ito during the mutiny when he threatens to shoot a non-collaborating Shima.]]
* HotScientist: The Science & Technology officer (Intelligence Division) of the ''Yamato''. Tag-teams with Sanada for {{Technobabble}} and exposition. [[spoiler:Indeed, she tries to use that womanly charm to get Shima to side with the mutineers, but that didn't quite work out as planned.]]
* {{Meganekko}}
* [[spoiler:TheMole: A major supporter of the Izumo Plan.]]
* SempaiKouhai: She's Sanada's junior from the Academy, and still treats Sanada with more than a little respect, despite his current position as ship XO.
!! '''Akira "Rei" Yamamoto (Jefferson Davis Hardy[[note]]sort of[[/note]])'''
-->'''Voiced in 2199 by:''' Creator/RieTanaka
Ensign in the Yamato's accounting division (Purser). Rank: second lieutenant. Originally from Arcadia City on Mars. She wants to join the Yamato's fighter wing, but was initially assigned to the accounting division. She eventually does get reassigned to the fighter wing, and becomes one of the pilots of the two Cosmo Falcon fighters on the ship.
As with many of the crew, her reason to want to be a fighter pilot is a personal one: her older brother, a recon plane pilot, was one of those killed when the Gamilons attacked their home colony on Mars. This has given her an almost irrational need to make sure the aliens pay for what they had done.
* ActionGirl
* {{Ahoge}}
* AlternateCharacterReading: Kodai initially mistakes her name for "Rei", another reading for her given name's kanji.
* FanNickname: [[Franchise/BattlestarGalactica "Starbuck"]], in reference to another fighter pilot who got a GenderFlip in a reimagined series.
* GenderFlip: Counterpart to a male Black Tiger pilot (most famous for [[GoOutWithASmile Going Out With A Smile]] in the Comet Empire storyline).
* HopelessSuitor: [[spoiler: for Kodai's affections. ]]
* NoPronunciationGuide: In-universe -- Kodai's visibly surprised when he hears Akira's first name, since he assumed ([[ReiAyanamiExpy understandably]]) that the kanji was pronounced "Rei". Akira swiftly explains the situation.
* OddFriendship: [[spoiler:With Melda. The irony is not lost on Akira.]]
* ReiAyanamiExpy
* RevengeBeforeReason: Her personal vendetta against the Gamillons can get irrational at times.
* SpockSpeak: She speaks in a rather subdued monotone during much of her earlier appearances [[spoiler: before joining the fighter squadron and getting to know Kodai ]]
* StayInTheKitchen: Although Kato doesn't mind her being on the ''Yamato'', he actively objects to her desire to be part of the fighter wing instead of Accounting.
!! '''Makoto Harada'''
-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/RinaSato
Field medic (civilian) assigned to Yamato's medical division. Originally from Akita Prefecture. She worked with Dr. Sado in the central hospital. Does her job briskly. Occasionally assigned as a medic for rescue missions. Has a bright and cheerful personality, but rumor has it that she's much more sensitive to others' feelings than most.
* {{Ahoge}}
* AscendedExtra: A genderflipped composite of a ''male'' nurse that assisted Dr. Sado in episodes 12 and 19 of the original series. The other one is also genderflipped but still is an extra.
* {{Dojikko}}: For a licensed nurse, Makoto is sure clumsy at times. Which makes one worried whenever a major operation has to be done...
** She even aims the stock of a submachinegun at two mutinied soldiers when guarding them.
* HelloNurse: Fills in Yuki's role as Dr. Sado's nurse.
* MsFanservice: Went to the trouble of bringing a {{Meido}} outfit; also has a LatexSpacesuit with a miniskirt and generous breasts.
* OddFriendship: Becomes close with Kato, after both of them accidentally cosplay during the Yamato's farewell party before it leaves the Solar System. [[spoiler:They get married at the end of the series, and she's already pregnant with his child.]]
!! '''Yuria Misaki'''
--> '''Voiced by:''' Creator/AyaUchida
Assistant Warrant Officer. Cadet, Operations Division. Originally from Yamaguchi prefecture. She serves as essential personnel for Yuki on the ship's third watch. Has an ability to see the invisible and sense the supernatural, but isn't that concerned about it.
Whenever she isn't on duty at the main bridge's radar station, she hosts ''Radio Yamato'', the ship's own radio station, playing contemporary and classic songs by request.
[[spoiler:Her sensitivity to spirits makes her the ideal medium for Ulyssia's consciousness to hitchhike on. Whenever Yurisha is in control, Yuria's hair, usually done up in twintails, is left down.]]
* {{Ahoge}}: Obligatory.
* BridgeBunny: Serves as Yuki's understudy on the bridge during third watch.
* [[spoiler:CreepyMonotone: Yet another cue that Ulyssia's in control.]]
* GeniusDitz: Capable of having rambling discourses over the mechanics of warp travel and the Wave Motion engine with ''Sanada'', of all people, [[spoiler:but only when Ulyssia's in control of course]]. Laughs like a little girl when the away party she's part of was chased by a ''gigantic monster mantid''.
* GirlishPigtails: Whenever Yuria has them is a cue [[spoiler:she's in control of her body. However, if the twintails aren't there, well]]...
* [[spoiler:GrandTheftMe: By Ulyssia]].
* ISeeDeadPeople: Not that it bothers her much.
* {{Tsundere}}: Acts this way towards Hoshina, rebutting his [[{{DoggedNiceGuy}}dogged pursuit of her affections]] with an irritated demeanor. [[spoiler: Later, her shock from seeing him wounded by Gamillas soldiers prompts her to confess her feelings for him in episode 20.]]
!! '''Hiroki Shinohara'''
--> '''Voiced by:''' Creator/DaisukeHirakawa
Officer in Yamato's tactical division, member of the flight group. Rank: Ensign (or Third-grade Space Lieutenant). A native of Tochigi Prefecture. He is Kato's right-hand man and second in command of the flight group. This long-haired guy is seen as frivolous based on his looks, words and deeds. But in truth, he is a reasonable young man.
He volunteers later on for a near-suicidal flight through the Beemla gate while on a captured Gamilas fighter, in order to scout what lies on the other side. What he finds is a massive 10,000-ship armada waiting (due to a fleet review called by Zoelick at Balun). He manages to escape back to Yamato and report his findings, but was hurt in the process.
* AcePilot
* {{Badass}}
* BoisterousBruiser
* NumberTwo: To Kato this time around.
* ShipTease: With Akira.
!! '''Shinya Itou'''
--> '''Voiced by:''' Creator/ToshihikoSeki
Officer and head of Yamato's security division (Master-at-arms). His rank is Lieutenant Junior Grade (or Second-grade Space Lieutenant). Native of Shiga Prefecture. Came from the Information Bureau, manages Yamato's internal security and police affairs. Always smiles politely when dealing with others, but has a condescending atmosphere.
[[spoiler:Ito is another of Serizawa's plants in the ship's crew, and his trump card to make sure that the Izumo Plan is successful. Late in the series he engineers a hostile takeover of the ships, but his proposed extreme methods, up to and including outright murdering many of those who would go against the mutiny, indirectly scuttles this attempt.]]
* EyesAlwaysShut
* FantasticRacism: Ito is a blatant xenophobe, and spent a good bit of his time in the brig ranting that aliens (in this case Yurisha) couldn't be trusted.
** JerkassHasAPoint: Seriously, Yurisha could have forewarned them [[spoiler:that Iskandar was Gamilas' twin planet...]]
* [[spoiler:KilledOffForReal: But not before saving Yurisha. He admits to her that, maybe ''some'' aliens aren't as bad as he thought, and asks her to help get Yamato to Iscandar before he dies.]]
* [[spoiler:TheMole: For Serizawa and the Izumo Plan.]]
* SmugSnake
!! '''Toru Hoshina'''
--> '''Voiced by:''' Motoki Takagi
Member of Yamato's security division. Rank: Warrant Officer. A Tokyo native. A member of the security division who puts all his trust in Ito. A handsome, sociable young man who always wears a smile.
[[spoiler:While he seems to loyally go along with Ito's dubious plans, Toru's ''really'' one of Sanada's subordinates, placed in the security division to watch for possible infiltrators loyal to the Izumo Plan. When the mutiny finally does occur, Toru helps in taking back the ship from the mutineers.]]
Relatively young for a member of the crew, Toru seems to be quietly infatuated with Yuria, which is why he's one of those who was shocked to learn [[spoiler:that Yurisha's been possessing Yuria's body for a while now]].
* CuteShotaroBoy
* DoggedNiceGuy
* MadeOfIron: Survives a point blank laser pistol shot.
* [[spoiler:ReverseMole: For Sanada, in the security division.]]
* ShipTease: With Yuria.
* TheDragon: [[spoiler: [[{{SubvertedTrope}} Subverted.]]]] [[spoiler: He only earns Ito's trust so he can expose his plans to forcefully enact Project Izumo.]]
!! '''Isami Enomoto'''
--> '''Voiced by:''' Creator/KeijiFujiwara
Boatswain's mate and senior petty officer. Rank: Space Master Chief Petty Officer. Originally from Aomori prefecture. A veteran NCO in charge of deck operations throughout the ship. Strict with a no-nonsense approach to making decisive, on the spot decisions. His honest personality inspires a fierce loyalty from his subordinates. Prior to his posting aboard Yamato, he was Kodai and Shima's practical skills instructor.
* GreaseMonkey
* TheMentor
!! '''Kiyoshi Toyama'''
--> '''Voiced by:''' Koji Yusa
A member of Yamato's tactical division. Rank: Corporal. From Saitama Prefecture. Responsible for deck work and fightercraft operations. An easygoing personality, has a habit of ending sentences with a "na-" sound. [The equivalent of "eh?"] Often paired with Iwata.
* GreaseMonkey
* [[spoiler:KilledOffForReal]]
* ThoseTwoGuys: And often gets the bad luck to be pulled for Seagull duty by Kodai at that.
* VerbalTic
!! '''Shinpei Iwata'''
--> '''Voiced by:''' Kouki Harasawa
A member of Yamato's tactical division. Rank: Space Sergeant 3rd Class. From Tokushima. Responsible for deck work and fightercraft operations. A subordinate of Enomoto who complains a lot but handles his work properly. Often paired with Toyama.

* {{Megane}}
* ServileSnarker
* ThoseTwoGuys
!! '''Miki Saijo'''
--> '''Voiced by:''' Satomi Moriya
CIC Officer in Yamato's CIC division. Rank: Space Sergeant, First Class. From Shimane Prefecture. Takes charge of the ship's sensors as a backup for Yuki Mori when she is absent. Works closely with Kitano.
* BridgeBunny: Is Yuki's stand-in for the third shift. If neither Yuki or Yuria is on duty, then you'll definitely see her on the Radar station's chair.
** SatelliteCharacter[=/=] LivingProp: Her only purpose so far is to make that there's ''someone'' manning Radar when Yuki or Yuria are unavailable.
[[folder: UN Officials]]
!! '''Kotetsu Serizawa'''
United Nations Space Corps and Far East District Director of military. Rank: Space General. From Ibaraki prefecture. The central figure of the Izumo Plan, forerunner of the Yamato Plan. A military bureaucrat who assists Todo on the military adminstration side.

[[spoiler:Despite the formal scuttling of the Izumo plan, Serizawa continues to support it in secret, to the point where he plants several supporters onboard the Yamato as its crew, all waiting for the right opportunity to take it over.]]
* AwesomeMcCoolname: The Ko in Kotetsu means tiger and Tetsu means iron. Also Kotetsu is the homonym of a Japanese word for ironclads.
* [[spoiler:ColonelKilgore: Orders Earth ships to fire on the Gamilan messengers first time Humans saw them.]]
* EvilGenius: Hinted to be the one who converted the Wave Motion Engine into a cannon. Not even Dessler made it possible.
* FromNobodyToNightmare[=/=]AscendedExtra: In a meta way: the original series had an unnamed officer with Serizawa's looks and position who was an ObstructiveBureaucrat and an ineffective enemy, but this one... Well, this one caused the HopelessWar against the Gamilans, nearly succeeded in repurposing the ''Yamato'''s mission in a colonization plan, and is hinted having invented the WaveMotionGun.
!!The Great Gamillas Empire
[[folder: Gamillians]]
!! '''Herm Zoellik'''
-->'''Voiced by:''' NorioWakamoto
Inspector General of the Great Gamilas Empire Central Command. The equivalent of 47 Earth years of age. General of the army, and second only to Dessler in his influence over the military administration. Descended from a noble family of pure lineage, an arrogant man who schemes to reestablish the old aristocracy.
[[spoiler:He engineers an attempt on Dessler's life, after which he uses the emperor's "death" as a pretense to put the Gamilas fleet under his control. Needless to say this fails, when Dessler reveals himself to be ''very'' much alive. He meets his end via a shot to the back at the hands of Goer.]]
* {{Expy}}: An ambitious, large, loud and boorish scion of the old aristocracy, who's at the same time both racist and classist, he's the one of "Fat Hermann" Luftwaffe chief Hermann Goering, though unlike him Goering firmly remained a loyal Hitler's follower and favorite.
* GeneralRipper: The one time he faces the ''Yamato'' he puts his ships into such position to shoot and ram each other. [[EvenEvilHasStandards Even Goer, who had previously established himself as one, was appalled]].
* [[spoiler:KilledOffForReal[=/=]KilledMidSentence: And by ''Goer'', of all people. Goer himself seems to be surprised that he was able to do it.]]
* LargeHam: ''Colossal'' ham would be more like it - of course, one could expect nothing less from a villain voiced by NorioWakamoto.
* SmugSnake
* [[spoiler:TheStarscream: Plots a takeover scheme starting with offing Dessler. Too bad Dessler is far too smart to fall for something like it.]]
!! '''Gul Deitz'''
-->'''Voiced by:''' Katsunosuke Hori
Supreme commander of the Great Gamilas Empire Astro fleet. The equivalent of 55 Earth years of age. Came from a family of officers and bodyguards from generation to generation, an experienced Admiral who oversees all elements of the Gamilas space fleet except the orbital planetary defense fleet.
[[spoiler:Late into the series he finds himself framed by Gimleh for secretly formenting dissent among the general staff. Melda frees him from his confinement, after which he finds himself forced by circumstance to form a resistance movement against the very government he had once served.]]
* BadassMoustache
* CaptainErsatz: of Carl Donitz.
* [[spoiler:LaResistance]]
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure
!! '''Heydom Gimleh'''
-->'''Voiced by:''' Junpei Morita
Leader of the Great Gamilas Empire Imperial guard. The equivalent of 39 Earth years of age. Top commander of the Imperial guard, the enforcement hand of the empire responsible for maintaining public order. Also leads the secret police, which thoroughly monitors rebel elements and ruthlessly cracks down on them. The guard has its own independent space fleet that watches for every opportunity to supplant the regular military.
* AmbitionIsEvil: he wants more power, and won't stop before anything to get it.
* BlondGuysAreEvil
* BloodKnight: The more carnage the better, so the unruly proles would know their place.
* {{Expy}}: Of SS Commander Heinrich Himmler and Governor Reinhard Heydrich , being the similarly inexplicably and unnecessarily cruel StateSec head, and a fan of [[DisproportionateRetribution extremely brutal repression]].
* [[spoiler:GracefulLoser]]: [[spoiler: When his ship was destroyed during Yamato's attack on Gamilas in ep. 23, he just calmly wondered, [[ASpotOfTea teacup in hand]]: "So, that's what death is?"]]
* KnightTemplar
* SmugSnake
!! '''[[AddedAlliterativeAppeal Gamilon General Gremto Goer]]'''
A Major-General in the Milky Way Galaxy campaign for the Great Gamilas Empire.
He is the equivalent of 47 years old on Earth. He oversees the Gamilas Armys operations toward the Milky Way, and does not accept failure from his subordinates. It is said that he is [[{{Understatement}} inept as a military officer]].
* AceCustom: All of his ships have a distinct camoflage.
* DirtyCoward, [[RunningGag and useless boob]].
* TheDragon: Was supposed to be this to Zoellik (and was described as one of his lackey). Then Zoellik revealed himself as a worse GeneralRipper than him and as [[spoiler: TheStarscream]], and Goer [[spoiler: shot him in the back for treason]].
** He later takes the role for Dessler, and surprisingly does a good job.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: There are things even he would never do, like forcing his ships in a situation where they'd risk shooting and ramming each other (and was appalled when Zoellik did it) or [[spoiler: betraying Deslar]]. Being caught doing the latter in his presence is a good way to [[KilledMidSentence being interrupted during a speech by a gunshot]] InTheBack.
* EvilIsPetty
* FantasticRacism: If you are not of blue skin, Goer ain't gonna like you.
* GeneralRipper: His answer to have a ship between he and the ''Yamato'' not moving and telling him there's the daughter of the ''commander in chief'' on the Human ship is to destroy said ship, write her off as destroyed by the ''Yamato'' and then attack the ''Yamato'' too.
** That said, [[EvenEvilHasStandards he'd never fire on ship obeying his orders nor risk them shooting and ramming each other]].
* [[spoiler:KilledOffForReal]]
** [[spoiler: [[SparedByAdaptation Death Postponed by Adaptation]]: In the original series he dies at the Battle of the Rainbow Cluster, as he's on Domel's flagship command module when he launches his SuicideAttack on the ''Yamato''. Here he doesn't take part to that battle, and is only killed in episode 25, when Wolf Frakken comes to arrest him and he resists]].
* LargeHam: Neck and neck with Zoellik for the largest ham in Garmillas's fleet.
* NotSoHarmlessVillain: He seems just an idiot and a glory hound. Then in episode 25 he [[spoiler: gets the jump on the ''Yamato'', and would have destroyed her then and there had it been his goal instead of sending her into Dessler's ambush]], and not even [[spoiler: getting counterambushed and killed by Wolf Frakken]] prevented him from completing his objective.
* OnlySaneMan: Carried from his characterization in the original series: be they Domel or Zoellik, he is quick to note when their plans are crazy or stupid. Where Domel gets a pass by bordering on CrazyAwesome (and here losing his GeneralRipper tracts), Zoellik does not.
* UndyingLoyalty: To Dessler. Basically his only redeeming quality.
* SmallNameBigEgo
!! '''Melda Deitz'''
-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/ShizukaIto
Woman pilot of the Great Gamilas Empire Milky Way area 707th military air wing. Her rank is second lieutenant. She is equivalent of 19 years of age on Earth. Her father is Admiral Gal Deitz, supreme commander of the imperial spacefleet. Born to a military man's proud family line, she values honor above all. As a pilot with the skill of an ace, she flies the red Tsvuelke, which is her cherished machine.
She brokers a ceasefire between the Yamato and her ship, which had been trapped in the galactic Sargasso. When her ship was ostensibly destroyed by Goer, she remains on the Yamato, until she is finally released.
[[spoiler:When her father and many of his subordinates are imprisoned for assumed sedition, she joins with some of his subordinates to free him. After this, she stays on the Yamato as a liason, while her father leaves to liberate other prison planets]].
* AcePilot
* AceCustom: Her customized red-trimmed fighter of course.
* ActionGirl: More than capable of defending herself, as shown when Akira unceremoniously attacks her when the Yamato was stranded in the galactic sargasso.
* AscendedExtra: A [[GenderFlip genderflipped]] version of the unnamed ''male'' Gamilon pilot captured during the original series.
* BlueSkinnedSpaceBabe
* FieryRedhead: Averted. Melda is calm and very reasonable, even when she was ostensibly held hostage.
* TheRival: Akira has certainly pegged her as such. [[spoiler:When she returns to be the liason to Yamato, it starts to overlap with OddFriendship, to the extent of LesYay.]]
[[folder: Jirel]]
!! '''Miezellla Celestela''', Minister of Propaganda
-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/MinoriChihara
Propoganda minister for the Great Imperial Gamilas Empire. From the planet Jirel. She is an aide to Dessler who brings him military reports from all fronts while also serving as his minister of propoganda. She also manages Dessler's intelligence service.
A woman of strange beauty who acts as the President of the Information Ministry. An influential person in terms of domestic politics, responsible for the suppression of insurgents seized in cooperation with Gomura. She is respected and feared by high officials of the army who are afraid to be branded by her as traitors. She is infatuated with Dessler.
* BigNo: When Dessler took off in his spacecraft without her.
* BlueSkinnedSpaceBabe: Actually subject to FantasticRacism for being light blue instead of blue, along with her kinds PsychicPowers.
* CaptainErsatz[=/=]Composite Character: Based Dessler's ex-wife Mela from Leiji Matsumoto's "The Eternal Story of Jura", one of his subordinates from the manga of the original version and Goebbels.
* KickTheMoralityPet: Dessler abandoned her and tried to shoot her, which he almost succeeded.
** He [[spoiler: ends up shooting her by accident on board the Yamato when she surprised him by using her PsychicPowers.]]
* [[spoiler:KilledOffForReal]]
* LastOfTheirKind[=/=]SoleSurvivor: Of her home planet after Mirenel's consciousness is killed by the Yamato's activating warp engine.
* LoveMartyr
* PointyEars
* PsychicPowers
* UndyingLoyalty: To Dessler.
!! '''Mirenel Linke'''
-->'''Voiced by:''' Akemi Okamura
Gamilas Central Intelligence Special Officer. The equivalent of 18 Earth years of age. Rank: Lieutenant. Born on the Planet Jirel. An intelligence officer who works directly for Celestella, and a psychic. The two of them are also the last survivors of Jirel. By using the Akerius ruins hyperspace network at Balun base, she materializes her mind onboard Yamato, where she performs information gathering and sabotage [in Episode 14].
* BlueSkinnedSpaceBabe: Though, she disguises herself as pink skinned when exploring the Yamato.
* CaptainErsatz: Also partly based on Dessler's daughter Jura from "The Eternal Story of Jura".
* CruelAndUnusualDeath: Her mind is trapped inside the Yamato's Wave Motion Engine and painfully annihilated. Her physical body spasms in pain and dies too.
* KilledOffForReal: Care of the Yamato's Wave Motion core at that.
* MindRape: One that made Kodai [[NiceJobFixingItVillain rekindle his hate for Gamilas]].
* PointyEars
* PsychicPowers: Specifically astral projection.
* SpaceElves
[[folder: Zaltians]]
!! '''Vuelke Shulz'''
The commander of the Pluto advance base, ranked as Colonel in the Empire's space forces. He was the commander of a space brigade that consists mostly of second-class citizens, most of whom come from the planet Zalts, which had been conquered by Gamilas. Despite being from a conquered world, Shultz is loyal to Dessler's regime, though some of this is due in part to the fact that, by performing well, he and his men guarantee the possibility of a better life for their families.
As he was only able to start a family very late in his life, he dotes on his only daughter, Hilde.
* DyingMomentOfAwesome: When the ''Yamato'' is breaking through the ambush planned by Dessler himself in episode 8, he replies by ''charging at her in the corona of a star, trying to destroy her either with gunfire, by ramming her or pushing her into a flare''. And when the ''Yamato'' [[CrazyAwesome breaks through the flare with a shot of the wave motion gun]] and his ship is about to be hit, he [[FaceDeathWithDignity calmly accepted the inevitable]].
* PetTheDog: After his death, Dessler promotes him and his men two ranks (incidentally putting Shultz ''above'' his direct superior who had tried to blame him for the ''Yamato'''s survival) and give them not what they joined the fleet for, 1st-class citizenship for their families, but something ''better'', honorary citizenship for their families (putting them ''above'' pureblooded Gamilans).
* PunchClockVillain
* TookALevelInBadass: His counterpart in the original series was a joke, who was a threat to the ''Yamato'' only because he had a powerful prototype weapon to use. This one nearly killed the ''Yamato'' by improvising with a device made to deviate asteroids to [[ColonyDrop bomb Earth]], and later has the DyingMomentOfAwesome detailed above.
* VillainousValor: See DyingMomentOfAwesome.
* WakeUpCallBoss: Initially the ''Yamato'' crew had no problems dealing with the Gamilas, only on how to use the wave motion engine and gun. Then they move on his base, and his first attack almost cripples the ''Yamato'' without them having any idea on what hit them.
!! '''Nolan'''
A 2nd-class Gamilas citizen who joined a commando team to board the ''Yamato'' and capture Yurisha. Sings the Gamilas anthem before going to the battlefield.
* [[spoiler:HeroicSacrifice: Ejects Yuki to safety while rigging Dessler's Fortress to detonate.]]
* PunchClockVillain
* SoleSurvivor: Of the commando squad.
* TraumaCongaLine
* VillainousValor: Sings the Gamilas anthem nervously which then cheer the entire army up.
!! '''Hilde Shulz'''
-->'''Voiced by:''' Ayano Miura
As a girl of Planet Zalts, she is regarded as a 2nd-class Gamilas citizen. She is the daughter of Pluto base commander Vuelke Shulz and is the equivalent of 13 years old on Earth. She loves her father and awaits his return with her mother Raiza in the Imperial capital Baleras. Since she is the daughter of an older man, her father Vuelke dotes on her. She has a cat-like pet from Zalts called a "Krall" which is her best friend.
She works as a maid for Celestela starting from Episode 21.
* DaddysGirl
* MoralityChain: For Shulz and possibly for Celestela.
* TokenMiniMoe
[[folder: Iscandarians]]
!! '''Yurisha Iscandar'''
The youngest sister of Starsha and Sasha, she was sent ahead to Earth with the technological plans that would give Humanity the chance to fight back against the Gamilas Empire. Her wherabouts after providing these plans are unknown though, as she as of the start of the series has been missing for a year.
[[spoiler:In truth, she's actually held in suspended animation inside the Navigation core of the Yamato, where her memories are being scanned for the path to Iscandar. This is because, due to a terror attack, she's been in a coma for at least a year. However, she hasn't been idle since then, as she can project her consciousness, appearing as the rumored "ghost" of the ship. When she finds out about Yuria's sensitivity to spirits, she proceeds to possess the girl, and uses her body to explore the ship. Whenever she is in control of Yuria's body, she takes off Yuria's trademarked hair ties.]]
* [[spoiler:BewareOfTheNiceOnes: Messes with Alter, bodyjacks Yuria and annihilates Mirenel. The most psychologically deadly person in the entire cast.]]
* [[spoiler:BodySurf]]
* CharacterTic: A good clue that it's Yurisha and not Yuki or Yuria, is that she likes to twirl hair hair around her index finger.
* CloudCuckooLander
* CreepyMonotone: Not really creepy, but even when finally awake and walking around in the flesh, Yurisha speaks in a weird, almost dreamy tone of voice.
* MythologyGag: To Sasha in the semi-official webcomic ''Rebirth''.
* NightmareFetishist: Enjoys being chased by BigCreepyCrawlies, also hinted to be attracted to [[spoiler:Dessler]].
* TheGhost: It's established that she brought the plans for the Wave Motion Engine to Earth a year before the series began, but she's not seen in the first few episodes. Her presence is first truly seen in Episode 14, and her body is seen in Episode 17. [[spoiler: In Episode 20, she gets out of her sealed capsule and starts walking around.]]
* PurpleEyes: Another thing to differentiate her from Yuki, who has brown eyes instead.
* TheTease[=/=]ShipperOnDeck: To Yuria and Hoshina and, later on, Kodai and Yuki.
-->'''Yurisha''' (to Kodai): I love Yuki. Don't you love Yuki too?
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Some translators suggest spelling her name "Ulyssia", because of the similarity to the Japanese pronunciation of "[[Literature/TheOdyssey Ulysses]]".
* [[spoiler:SpaceshipGirl: Lives in the navigation computer of ''Yamato'' for a while, as Sasha did in ''Rebirth''.]]

Kakinada: Several senior citizens of the city, at a meeting held here on Monday, expressed resentment over the decision of the Government to locate the long awaited Godavari University at Rajahmundry instead of Kakinada.
President of the Ratepayers Association P.S.R.K. Thimmaji Rao, founder secretary of Sangeeta Vidwat Sabha Munuganti Srirama Murthy, retired official Rayavarapu Adinarayana Rao and retired DGM of NFCL Lakkaraju Seshu Kumari besides former superbazaar chairman Y. D. Rama Rao criticised the injustice meted out to Kakinada and attributed it to the complacency of local political leaders. They cited as to how in the past the music college was shifted to Rajahmundry even though Srirama Samajam in Kakinada had the requisite infrastructure for being upgraded into a college.
They said Kakinada had already grown into an education centre with many colleges including medical and engineering colleges functioning in the city and also the Andhra University PG centre on the city outskirts.
Though the city was suitable in all aspects and the screening committee favouring its location here, they regretted that the Government had decided otherwise.

Climate change poses considerable challenges to food security. Adapting food systems both to enhance food security for the poor and vulnerable and to prevent future negative impacts from climate change will require attention to more than just agricultural production. This article surveys the multiple components of food security, particularly those relating to access and utilization, which are threatened by the complex responses of food systems to the impacts of climate change. Food security can only be ensured and enhanced with a suite of interventions across activities, ranging from production to distribution and allocation. Although many studies have demonstrated the importance of policy and institutional interventions for ensuring food security after a shock, the climate change impacts and adaptation community have been slow to pick up on these lessons. This article pulls together lessons from the literature on the type of institutional interventions that could be strengthened to enable adaptation in the food system to buffer against climate change at multiple levels, from the local to the global level.

The Bulgari store reopens at Rustan's Shangri-La Mall
More News from Cheche V. Moral
It seems even the wealthy can't say no to a good bargain—if you could ever call prestige jewelry and watches a bargain, notwithstanding a dropped digit or two.
But that was precisely the scene at the recent event to celebrate the reopening of the Bulgari store in Rustan's Tower Shangri-La Mall in Mandaluyong.
Loyal patrons sipped bubbly as they tried on precious pieces from the Italian jeweler's High Jewellery and watches collection, on offer that evening at a special rate. It was a deal too good to refuse, surely, as the cordial staff was kept busy wrapping jewels in beribboned boxes.
The High Jewellery collection was on display for a limited period only at the Shang boutique. (The collection is a mainstay at the Greenbelt 4 store.) Apart from the high jewelry, there
were also pieces from the Serpenti collection, as well as a selection of watches. The boutique also had the leathergoods collection, including the Isabella Rossellini alligator purses.
The reopened shop on the second floor of Rustan's Tower is by the entrance of the department store. It looks like a jewel in itself, encased in glass on all sides, and follows the new Bulgari store concept design worldwide: chic interiors and warm lighting to make for an elegant backdrop for the priceless baubles.
Bulgari country manager Mario Katigbak, with Rustan's Tower branch manager Steve Madsley, welcomed guests that included Italian Ambassador Massimo Roscigno and his wife Agnes, who was spotted trying on a luscious pair of earrings.

Jonathan Yardley…[Trollope's] depictions of family life reach, at their keenest, genuine universality. Her eye may be kind and forgiving, but she cuts no one any slack, and the experiences her characters undergo often are painful and difficult, with repercussions that alter their lives, sometimes for the better, sometimes not. In other words, life treats them just the way it treats us, one of many reasons why it is so easy to identify and sympathize with them…[Daughters-in-Law is a] thoroughly engaging, intelligent, literate novel.

Science and Technology of Terrorism and Counterterrorism (Public Administration and Public Policy) (v. 100)
Citing viable homeland defense strategies, this book examines the potential agents, delivery methods, and toxic and nontoxic effects of possible nuclear, biological, and chemical terrorist attacks. Providing countermeasures for governmental and emergency first-response teams, the book covers the impact of WMDs on public health, agriculture, and economic infrastructures, as well as the limitations of sensor/detection technology and the prediction of potential biological and chemical events. It also discusses the effects of next wave cyberterrorism, the roles of state and federal agencies, root causes of terrorism, how to diagnose a chemical or bioterrorism event in the emergency room, and more.

Goodnight Mister Tom (Touring)
A play by David Wood from the novel by Michelle Magorian.
Set during the dark and dangerous build up to the Second World War, Goodnight Mister Tom follows sad William Beech, who is evacuated to the idyllic English countryside and builds a remarkable and moving friendship with the elderly recluse Tom Oakley. All seems perfect until William is devastatingly summoned by his mother back to London.
Winner of the Guardian Children's Fiction Prize and commended for the Carnegie Medal, this brand new production marks the 30th Anniversary of the publication of the novel. Now a world-wide literary favourite and BAFTA award-winning TV film (starring John Thaw), Goodnight Mister Tom continues to inspire audiences and bring generations together.

James Bennet
James Douglas Bennet (born March 28, 1966) is an American journalist. Since 2006, he has been the editor-in-chief of The Atlantic.
Background and family[edit]
James Bennet was born in Boston, Massachusetts to Susanne Bennet (née Klejman; of Polish Jewish descent) and Douglas J. Bennet. He has a brother and sister. When his father went to work on the staff of Senator Thomas F. Eagleton, the family moved to Washington, D.C. There James attended the St. Albans School.[1] He studied at Yale University, where he earned a Bachelor of Arts degree and was editor-in-chief of The New Journal.
Susanne Bennet taught English as a second language at Language ETC, a non-profit organization in Washington. Douglas Bennet was appointed as a political official in the Carter and Clinton administrations, served as the president of National Public Radio from 1983 to 1992 and as the president of Wesleyan University from 1995 to 2007.
Bennet's older brother Michael is the senior United States Senator from Colorado.
Journalism career[edit]
Bennet began his journalism career as an intern for The News & Observer, and later, The New Republic.[1] From 1989 to 1991, he held an editing post at The Washington Monthly.[2] He joined The New York Times in 1991. He rose to serve as a White House correspondent and the Jerusalem bureau chief for the paper.[1][3] Upon his return from Jerusalem, he wrote a memorandum on the proper usage of the terms "terrorist" and "terrorism", which is often cited by editors of The Times.[4]
Bennet was due to become the Times''s Beijing correspondent in late 2006. He resigned from the paper in March of that year to accept an offer to become the 14th editor-in-chief of The Atlantic.[2][3] Bennet was selected by the magazine's publisher, David G. Bradley, following an exhaustive selection process. Bradley conferred with 80 journalists around the United States.[2]
Bennet as editor attracted attention in April 2008 when the magazine featured a cover story on Britney Spears, a change from The Atlantic's tradition in higher culture. The issue did poorly in newsstand sales.[5]

By A Customer
This review is from: Moto Raid (Paperback)
Wow, Thye's trip from Lake Oswego to Chile in 1963 was quite an awesome experience. Although I'll probably never have the nerve to do a similar run, it wouldn't be the same as it was back then anyhow. Anyway, I feel like I've been there having read the book. They tell me Thye is a respected BMW dealer in Washington now. His experience with the machine certainly qualifies him as such. Thanks to the folks at SoundRider.com for tipping me off to this book.

Senior Britain-based Indian journalists who worked for the BBC believe that given the multi-choice media environment, diversity of languages within the Asian community and stiff competition from commercial radio, the closure of the BBC Asian Network was inevitable.
BBC director-general Mark Thompson on Tuesday announced the closure of the Asian Network by the end of 2011, sparking mixed reactions from journalists and audiences.
The station's closure is part of a raft of measures to cut costs in the public broadcaster.
Online campaigns launched
Online campaigns and petitions have been launched to save the Asian Network while senior Indian-origin journalists said they saw it coming because of many pressing factors, including a lack of clarity in its programming and target audience.
Hisam Mukadam, a veteran journalist associated with the Asian Network for over 20 years, told PTI: "It (the closure) was coming. The station had become a Bhangra-based Punjabi music station where the linguistic and information needs of the universal Asian community were severely overlooked".
Mr. Mukadam, however, added that even though the younger audience had other sources to access Asian music, there was a need for dedicated Asian broadcasting, particularly because the Asian community reposed much trust in the BBC for news.
Vijay Rana, former BBC radio editor, said: "They were never sure who they were broadcasting to. South Asian radio audience in this country is largely over 45 years old and a large part of them are women.
"BBC Asian Network could not win them over and decided to target the young generation, whose interest in South Asian music, culture and current affairs was only marginal – 18-year-olds never listen to daytime radio".
Mr. Rana added: "Being a public service organisation, it had to please so many ethnic pressure groups by broadcasting in Gujarati, Punjabi, Mirpuri etc. And they could please none of them. Their audience kept declining. They could have served the community better if they had adopted Hindustani - a mix of Hindi and Urdu - as their main broadcast medium".
Origins go back to 1968
The BBC Asian Network was launched in October 1988, but has its roots in the BBC television programme, 'Nai Zindagi Naya Jeevan', in 1968 from its studios in Birmingham.
Daya Thussu, co-director of the India Media Centre at the University of Westminster, told PTI: "The closure of the BBC Asian Network shows how important Indian media have become among British Indians, who now have access to a myriad of Indian television channels and websites as well as such UK-based stations as Sunrise Radio".
He said, "It also demonstrates how under market pressure the BBC is abandoning its multicultural remit. The danger is that such moves will make the BBC what Greg Dyke, its former Director General, once accurately described as, 'hideously white'"
Mike Jempson, director of MediaWise, told PTI: "It (closure) is a pity. The station could have been more unifying in a multicultural Britain. Whether the Asian Network was reaching the myriad Asian audiences is a moot point".
Criticising the closure of the radio station, the British Phonographic Society wrote in a letter to the BBC: "The Asian Network provides an important channel for exposure for Asian music in the UK, which does not gain exposure on many major commercial stations."
'Vital platform for Asian culture'
Media critic Sunny Hundal said the Asian Network was a "vital" platform for Asian culture.
He said: "Axing Asian Network would kill off vital media space for a lot of British Asian content and culture that does not get represented on commercial alternatives. It is within the BBC's remit to represent and give a platform to minority interests that need a mainstream platform to develop and grow."
Indian-origin Avtar Lit, founder of the popular Sunrise Radio, said: "They had a wonderful opportunity to connect with the Asian community and it has been rejected. The BBC was never really serious about providing a service for the Asian community. It's a token service; they have ignored them for decades".
He added: "They think because it's the BBC, people will have an automatic allegiance to it. They have come up against commercial radio and got a bloody nose out of it. I don't think the Asian community would give a toss (if it closed down).

As a famous rapper, tons of people are approaching Asher and they think they know him so well because they've heard his tracks. But an artist's persona is not who the artist is.
This holds true for artists in all types of fields. Many of them have a public image that varies greatly from who they really are.

Hôtel La Perouse
11 Quai Rauba Capeu, Nice, French Riviera, France
Check availability as rates may vary for dates. Best rate guaranteed.
After all these years, there are still a few surprises left on the Côte d'Azur — the famous grand hotels carry on as they always have, but there's the thrill of occasionally discovering a place like La Pérouse. Cut into a cliffside overlooking the Baie des Anges, this one-time prison is now one of Nice's most remarkable hotels, offering easy access to the beach and the old town, as well as stunning views of the sea from most of its sixty-three rooms and suites.
Mediterranean style is the rule in the guest rooms, outfitted with antique furnishings and soft country colors, each with a balcony or terrace to take maximum advantage of the views. The location and the atmosphere are charming enough, but the view is the thing — even the hotel's own brochure issues a strongly worded recommendation in favor of choosing a sea view room.
At the bottom of the cliff sits the hotel pool, surrounded by a shaded garden surrounded by lemon trees, and in the fair-weather months the hotel's restaurant serves dinner on the terrace by candlelight. You're seconds from the beach, if that's the sort of diversion that appeals, and from this prime location on the Promenade des Anglais it's a short walk into Nice's historic district if you're up for a bit of a wander. Proof positive there's more to the Côte d'Azur than just the old favorites.

- Rating: Poor
The hotel was a terrible value for $300 Euros. The hotel right next door was half the price, brand new, same view. This hotel was obviously dated and tired with old furniture, mattresses and sheets. Bed linens were old and bed was hard as a rock. Besides the location being stellar, the quality of the hotel was comprable to a Comfort Inn. Breakfast was skimpy, lacking many of the fine elements that are expected for $20 euros such as Ham, fine cheeses, and hot food.

Samastha had threatened to work against certain IUML leaders, including E. Ahamed
The Samastha Kerala Jamiyyathul Ulama has wrested a written assurance from the Indian Union Muslim League (IUML) that the latter will not help the Samastha's adversaries. The Samastha, on its part, has assured the IUML of its continued support.
The agreement between the Samastha and the IUML was reached at a meeting of their leaders at Panakkad on Monday.
The meeting was convened at IUML State president Syed Hyderali Shihab Thangal's house at Panakkad following a silent threat by the Samastha against certain IUML leaders.
Kanthapuram faction
The Samastha had tacitly spread the news that it would work against certain IUML leaders, including IUML national president and Union Minister of State for External Affairs E. Ahamed, who were upholding good relations with the leadership of the Kanthapuram Sunni faction.
What provoked the leaders of the Samastha and its subsidiaries was the improved relation between the IUML and the Kanthapuram Sunni group.
Certain leaders of the Samastha were adamant that the IUML distance itself from the Kanthapuram Sunni faction, which is the enemy number one of the Samastha.
The IUML was quick to pacify the Samastha especially as the Lok Sabha elections were only a few months away and that Mr. Ahamed was likely to contest again.
Symbiotic relationship
The meeting decided that both the IUML and the Samastha would not do anything to tarnish or weaken the other. Instead, both will maintain a symbiotic relationship.
It was also decided that the IUML would help the Samastha whenever needed, and that it would not lend any help to the enemies of the Samastha.
The leaders of the Samastha assured that they would not do anything damaging for the IUML.
The meeting also decided that the IUML would consult the Samastha on matters of importance and would take decisions on larger issues relating to the community only after discussions with the Samastha.
Chandrika's policies
The IUML also gave an assurance to the Samastha that the policies of the party mouthpiece, the Chandrika, would be changed in favour of the Samastha.
Syed Hyderali Shihab Thangal presided over the meeting.
IUML leaders Syed Sadikali Shihab Thangal, P.K. Kunhalikutty, K.P.A. Majeed, M.P. Abdussamad Samadani, and M.C. Mayin Haji, and Samastha leaders C. Koyakutty Musliar, Kottumala T.M. Bapu Musliar, Sayed Jifri Muthukoya Thangal, K. Alikutty Musliar, C.K.M. Sadik Musliar, Koyyod Umer Musliar, K. Mammad Faizi, Hameed Faizi Ambalakadavu, Mustafa Mundupara, Onampilli Mohammed Faizi, S.K. Hamza Haji, and P.A. Jabbar Haji took part in the meeting.

Last minute trip was a success!
Nice, clean and affordable
Excellent location
Good value for the money
If you or your guests can't wash dishes (no dish washer), suffer from a lack of agility or from back problems (the bunk beds don't have spring mattresses and are difficult to get in & out of), or require a large, HD tv with a high end stereo, you should look somewhere else. This is a low-key kind of place for those more interested in playing on the beach and enjoying the outdoors. It doesn't come with a great view, plush towels, or upscale interior design though it was clean and the kitchen was well stocked with glassware, plates, & utensils.
The only minor problems were these: Despite a long search, I could never find a ladder for the bunk beds so I had to resort to using a chair. Something more stable like a collapsible step-ladder would've been much better especially since I sleep in socks (slippery) and get up a lot during the night. Also, some of the towels in my bathroom had that "moldy-because-they-were-folded-before-they-were-completely-dry" smell which resulted in a second short shower (to wash off the smell) and a small selection for drying off. Luckily I brought an extra towel so I was able to manage. Other than that, we enjoyed our stay and would probably return to this property again.
