Set 11 is getting a VERSION UP! If you've been around the site during the GP year, you know that Version Up (in English) is used in Japan to indicate some change, generally for the better (or something like a buff). But no, we're not buffing Set 11, instead we're giving this Set the one thing it's missing...
A recycle value! That's right, we're going to liquidate the free, 0 Gran versions of the cards from the server and replace them with full fledged gran value cards with little stars on them denoting their rarity and everything.
But does that mean we're taking away your free Set 11? Yes! I mean, NO, just kidding.. put down that knife. Please? No? Well, hold onto the knife a little longer if it makes you feel better, but hear me out. Everyone will be able to get three copies of the new, Gran-value Set 11 with relative ease.
We're going to handle this the way we handle everything, with a duel! Or rather, ten! Kind of like a super-duper 5 of 7, where you battle X times in a week and get a card, only now you get 60. Here is how you get your 3 copies of Gran-value Set 11 cards.
1st copy -- Own any number of the 'free' version of the card. You all should have this for every card by now. If not, you have until tomorrow night to get them from the shop!
2nd copy -- Play ten or more battles that go ten turns or more between Monday the 12th and Sunday the 18th.
3rd copy -- Play ten or more battles that go ten turns or more between Monday the 19th and Sunday the 25th.
And what if you're busy one of those two weeks? Out of town for the great pancreas race? Well, if you do 30 or more battles on either week, we will give you both copies as well. (always a maximum of 3 total). And what if you're out of town both weeks? Well, then you'll just have to BUY them when I put them in the shop like everyone else!!! BWA HAHAAHAHAHA!! --oh. You still have that knife, don't you? Uh... yes... Er, well if you have a really, really, really good reason you can't play both those weeks, just contact Mystery Man or Thatdave and bring your knife, they'll... hmm, not buying it, eh? Fine, email me at firstname.lastname@example.com and we'll see what we can do.
So maybe you're wondering what's with the hoop jumping for something you already have, but don't underestimate the importance of what you're getting out of this. Having a large amount of Gran value in recycle value (180 cards worth) gives you unprecedented flexibility. If there are cards you don't use, you can use their recycle value to buy the next EX Set (probably in its entirety with little effort) or an earlier Set you missed, or whatever you want. It's a brave new gran-valued world!

Discover Nature field fun at James A. Reed
Paddles, critters, fish and fun all were enjoyed June 27-29 when the Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Kansas City visited the James A. Reed Memorial Wildlife Area near Lee's Summit for a Discover Nature Field Day. Each morning, the youths rotated to learning stations for skills ranging from fishing and canoeing to identifying bugs or learning the ecology of mammals and snakes. MDC education staff organized and hosted the event with help from volunteers such as members of Missouri Master Naturalist chapters.

Should small and medium enterprises have their way, the government will reduce the amount of money paid in inspection fees imposed on goods under the recently introduced pre-shipment verification of compliance with specified standards.
The SMEs argue that the fees currently charged are way too high for their comfort and ought to be slashed, or consumers will have to pay for most basic needs through the nose.
The scaling down of the fees constitutes one of the major recommendations people and institutions running SMEs made to the Tanzania Bureau of Standards, and therefore to the government, at a recent seminar held in Dar es Salaam.
One particularly interesting angle to the deliberations at the seminar was that it was meant to benefit importers, exporters and all other SME operators.
It was also noteworthy that, while most such forums are characterised by complaints, reservations and even protests, this time around the participants commended the government for seeing the need to ensure pre-shipment conformity to nationally sanctioned standards in respect of particular commodities.
This in itself is cause for some celebration as having regard for the quality for Tanzanian-made goods lined up for the domestic and export markets as well as foreign-made items entering the Tanzanian market counts for much, including safeguarding our people's health and the environment.
We are told that, in this particular respect, among the items covered under the regulations are sports gear and allied equipment, electronics, as well as electrical and mechanical goods.
The list also includes paper and stationery, toys, automotives, chemicals, gas-powered appliances, wood and metal furniture personal safety and protective equipment, textiles and foodstuffs.
The media have in recent years been awash wish reports pointing to an alarmingly high prevalence of all sorts of fake and otherwise substandard or hazardous products in the Tanzanian market.
What has left consumers and the larger public especially baffled and scared is that sub-sectors of the manufacturing industry most easily penetrated by pirates and other people out to make a quick buck by distributing and selling fake goods relate to the production of foods and drinks, medical drugs, cosmetics, electronic and electrical items such as computers, music system and cellular telephones and their accessories.
This is particularly worrisome in that it spells disaster for all segments of the population, given that foods and drinks are virtually much of basic necessities these days as are items in the electronics and related brackets. Any foul play with any of these items can mean serious danger to public health, the environment and indeed humankind's very existence.
We know that agencies like the Fair Competition Commission are supposed to promote and protect effective competition in trade and commerce and to protect consumers from unfair and misleading market conduct, their ultimate goal being to enhance efficiency in the production, distribution and supply of goods and services in Tanzania.
But neither are there enough of them nor indeed are the few there are adequately equipped to win the war on fake or substandard products without public support.
This is why we find the positive attitude shown by SMEs towards the pre-shipment inspection of goods most inspiring – and worth building on.

Hogwarts High Inquisitor
this wiki
- "Having already revolutionised the teaching of Defence Against the Dark Arts, Dolores Umbridge will, as High Inquisitor, have powers to address the seriously falling standards at Hogwarts School"
- —Cornelius Fudge, the Minister for Magic, in the Daily Prophet announcing Umbridge's appointed to the position[src]
The Hogwarts High Inquisitor was a position at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. It was a teacher appointed by the Ministry of Magic to make sure that unsatisfactory teachers were removed from Hogwarts and to ensure that any Educational Decrees set by the Ministry were followed. The High Inquisitor's position was formed under Educational Decree Number Twenty-Three.
Creation of the post
- "Things at Hogwarts are far worse than I feared. Cornelius will want to take immediate action."
- —Dolores Umbridge speaking to Minerva McGonagall and students before the implementation of Educational Decree Number Twenty-Three[src]
Certain people, such as parents of students, were supportive of this post, as they feared that Dumbledore's eccentric decision may have a negative impact on the students and were glad that the Ministry is keeping an eye on the situation; however, Lucius Malfoy, who gave an interview of his support of the post's creation under pretense of caring for the school's future, is in truth desiring for this action to discredit Dumbledore. Other people, such as Griselda Marchbanks and Tiberius Ogden, were outraged by this post's formation, as they support Dumbledore and knew full well that the High Inquisitor is nothing more than an excuse for Fudge to usurp control over Hogwarts from the headmaster; as a result, they themselves were discredited by Fudge and the Daily Prophet.
Inspecting teachers
As High Inquisitor, Umbridge lurked in the corners of many classes taking notes on her clipboard and asking teachers and students questions. She was disliked by most of the teachers at Hogwarts, especially Minerva McGonagall, who was especially curt and rude to her at sometimes. Severus Snape also answered her prying questions rather haughtily during his inspection. Despite McGonagall and Snape's apathetic and cold treatment of her, Umbridge could not deny that they were good teachers and knew their subjects, and thus they were not sacked. Sybill Trelawney, on the other hand, was not as lucky, and after a series of poor performances in Umbridge's inspections she was put on probation and then fired from the post of Divination teacher. Rubeus Hagrid's inspections went no better, as after he barely excused himself for his long-term absence, Umbridge's prejudice for half-breeds led her to be biased against Hagrid's first inspection, acting as though she could not understand his language while asking extremely offensive questions to students, and then placed him under probation as well; this led Hagrid's subsequent performances to falter, as he was distracted by her continued presence, and eventually he was ousted from his position as Care of Magical Creatures teacher.
Appointment to Headmistress
After Dumbledore's Army, a secret Defence Against the Dark Arts group started by Harry Potter and his friends, was discovered and Albus Dumbledore forced to leave the school by taking credit for the group's activities, Umbridge was appointed to the position of Headmistress and had even further control over the events at Hogwarts. However, the castle's inhabitants were not very helpful to her during her regime; she spent her first afternoon as Headmistress running around the castle trying to stop the mayhem caused by Fred and George Weasley's fireworks, with little assistance from the rest of the Hogwarts staff, such as the teachers preferring to see her struggle with trying to remove a Portable Swamp left by the Weasley twins when any of them could have removed it in a heartbeat and Minerva McGongall even going so far as to give Peeves help with unscrewing a chandelier
End of the High Inquisitor's reign
- "You filthy half-breeds! You have been given the right to stay here by Cornelius Fudge!"
- —Dolores Umbridge[src]
After catching Harry trying to contact 12 Grimmauld Place by the Floo Network, Umbridge would have used the Cruciatus Curse on Harry had it not been for Hermione Granger coming up with a plan to lure Umbridge into the Forbidden Forest by making her think that there was a weapon built by Dumbledore's Army in there. They were soon surrounded by centaurs, but with the help of Grawp, Harry and Hermione escaped them, under the circumstances that they were still "children". Umbridge, however, was not so lucky and was carried away by the Centaurs after calling them "filthy half-breeds" and "animals". She was later rescued by Albus Dumbledore but was left severely traumatised by the event.
After the skirmish in the forest and the Ministry being forced to accept that Voldemort had returned, Educational Decree Number 23 was abolished, along with the position of High Inquisitor. Umbridge was subsequently removed from Hogwarts and the position was never used again.
The Inquisitorial Squad
The Inquisitorial Squad was like the High Inquisitor's prefects. They were given the power to take away and add house points, even from other prefects. These individuals were a hand-picked group of students that were chosen by the High Inquisitor because of their support of the Ministry. They wore small silver badges with an "I" on it to show membership. All known members belonged to the house of Slytherin and were known enemies of Harry Potter and his friends.
Known members
- Millicent Bulstrode
- Vincent Crabbe
- Gregory Goyle
- Draco Malfoy
- Graham Montague
- Pansy Parkinson
- C. Warrington

Filner had allowed operations, despite law banning them, while crafting new ordinance
San Diego The free rein that medical marijuana dispensaries have had in the city of San Diego is over. Interim Mayor Todd Gloria has directed city staff to enforce the current law, which doesn't allow the businesses to operate legally.
Gloria made the announcement Thursday during his first weekly media briefing since replacing Mayor Bob Filner, who resigned Aug. 30 amid a sexual harassment scandal. Gloria updated reporters on a wide variety of issues, from managed competition to the Chargers stadium plans, but the biggest news dealt with dispensaries.
The new directive ends a period of lawlessness that began in January when Filner ordered police and code enforcement officials to halt their investigations into dispensaries. Filner wanted to allow them to be open while the city considered implementing a new ordinance to regulate the businesses.
Nine months later, the city still doesn't have an ordinance, and at least 15 medical marijuana dispensaries opened illegally without rules under Filner's lax enforcement.
Gloria said he's working to get the new ordinance before the City Council in January after it's reviewed by community and planning groups. He said he can't allow the existing dispensaries to remain open because it would be rewarding bad behavior.
"What we have to do, though, is provide a legal way for them to exist," Gloria said. "Our current situation does not work. The solution is not to ignore the law. The solution is to change the law to allow them to operate in an effective fashion. What I want to do is provide some certainty for the patients who need it and to the neighborhoods who are afraid of it so we can tell them what the rules of the road look like. Right now we have none."
Eugene Davidovich, local coordinator with the group Americans for Safe Access, a pro-medical marijuana group, said he's disappointed that Gloria is focusing on shutting down dispensaries rather than getting a new ordinance adopted.
"Right now it's on the back burner, but eradication is not on the back burner," Davidovich said. "And that's very sad, because really who suffers here are the patients. … Today they have a place that they can maybe go into and get their medicine. Instead of focusing on creating an ordinance, a place, a reliable location for them to get the medicine, he'd rather shut everybody down. They're not going to have that access tomorrow or the next day. It's very sad."
State voters have approved the use of marijuana for medicinal purposes, yet it remains illegal under federal law. Local municipalities have struggled with how to regulate the drug given that dichotomy.
The bottom line is, dispensaries aren't legally permissible in any land-use zone in San Diego, and those that are open are in violation. Dozens of complaints have been filed with the city, yet no action was taken under Filner.
The proposal under consideration would limit dispensaries to some commercial and industrial zones and require them to be at least 1,000 feet from each other as well as schools, playgrounds, libraries, child care and youth facilities, parks and churches. They also must operate as nonprofits, have curtailed business hours and hire security guards.
Gloria has hit the ground running as interim mayor, and on Thursday gave updates on the progress he's made on numerous issues facing the city.
"It's my hope that we can get many of these pending items cleaned up so that when I turn over the keys to the Mayor's Office to the next guy or gal that a lot of these issues will be resolved," he said.
Among the highlights from the media briefing:

East St. Louis, IL (KSDK) - Two Alton, Illinois residents were indicted Friday in U.S. District Court in East St. Louis for drug distribution which caused the death of a 23-year-old man.
Tyrone L. Adams, 33, and Cara L. Moss, 26, are held without bond for distributing heroin which caused the death of Leonard O. Hormann, III.
Adams and Moss have been charged in a three count indictment.
The first count claims they distributed heroin to Hormann on August 20, 2012. If convicted, they face up to life in prison.
The second count alleges Adams and Moss maintained drug-involved premises on Powhattan Street between June 1, 2012 and September 5, 2012. If convicted, they face up to 20 years in prison.
The third count charges Adams with distribution of heroin within 1000 feet of a school between June 2012 and September 2012. He faces up to 40 years in prison if convicted on this count.
Adams and Moss are scheduled to go to trial on January 22, 2013.

It's wonderful to come together as the year is winding down and the excitement of the holidays and the New Year is beginning. In preparing for today, I was reflecting on all the reasons we've come together over the past few years for townhalls and big events. They've been opportunities to celebrate our work, discuss our concerns, and share some innovative ideas for the future.
It is with deep humility and respect that we gather here today to honor one of our own, Ragaei Abdelfattah. To Ragaei's family—his wife Angela, his two sons Omar and Ali, their mother Heba, and members of his family at home in Cairo—our prayers are with you. We are grateful for the sacrifices you made to support Ragaei in his life's work. We know it was not easy.
We are honored to be joined by our colleagues from the White House, the Department of Defense, and the State Department, including Under Secretary Patrick Kennedy and Ambassador Linda Thomas-Greenfield. In his devotion to his family and his work, Ragaei represented the very best among us.
It is a solemn occasion as we gather today to honor and remember our friend and colleague, Ragaei Abdelfattah, a beloved member of our USAID family. From what I've learned about Ragaei, he would want us here today not only to mourn, but to celebrate. To celebrate his commitment to a better world. To celebrate his devotion to family. To celebrate his enthusiasm for appreciating challenges, then besting them… To celebrate a life well-lived.
Today, we have technologies that can help farmers grow more productive crops and improve water management. The evidence base is growing around a select number of technologies that—if taken to scale—can impact tens of millions of lives. But those technologies are not reaching nearly enough farmers. For example, the main hybrid maize used in Kenya today dates from 1986. And in Ghana, the main open-pollinated maize variety dates from the 1980s. Very promising varieties of stress-tolerant NERICA rice are hardly available in West Africa, where it could benefit millions, and fertilizer use in Africa remains the lowest in the world.
In order to tackle these challenges and help ensure key technologies reach their fullest potential, we have to focus our efforts. We know that technology alone can't solve all of our problems. We need to be targeted in order to achieve results. The Green Revolution, while remembered for its silver bullets, was infinitely more complex. And with a growing population and challenges like climate change, today's world is arguably even more so.
As we look to the future of the DAC, we will all have to adapt to a changing international environment. As important as it is, official development assistance (ODA) is no longer the prime source of capital investment for developing countries, and no longer has the principal role in filling savings gaps. For the United States, for example, our ODA this year will total about $30 billion, the world's largest level by far. And yet private Americans give some $40 billion each year to international relief and development efforts through civil society institutions, faith-based groups, academic institutions and corporate social responsibility. Another $100 billion is sent by American citizens and residents to developing countries in remittances. Equally important, some $1 trillion in investment capital flows from the U.S. to developing countries from all sources each year. Private capital flows have increased seven fold over the past decade.
As a result, we need to consider the new roles that providers of development assistance must fill in the development continuum. We need to use our resources to make strategic investments, targeting the constraints to growth in our partner countries. We need to use our convening authority to bring all parties – including governments, civil society, business, and international financial institutions – to the table. We need to reduce the risk for others, such as private investors and host governments, through innovative insurance schemes and capital investment funds. We need to take calculated risks ourselves where others may fear to tread, always aware that we must be good stewards of taxpayers' dollars.
For many young women in Ethiopia, opportunity is the missing link between poverty and prosperity. To address this gap, the University Preparation Camp for Ethiopian Young Women is committed to creating opportunities for young women and helping them achieve their ambitions of a university education and becoming leaders in their community.
We need to help raise voices of all citizens—and empower their governments to respond. That's the spirit behind today's launch—to build on President Obama's call for open government and inspire a global movement to end corruption and strengthen accountability. This Grand Challenge calls on the world's brightest innovators, entrepreneurs, and engineers to design breakthrough technologies and approaches to make all voices count. In fact, we've already seen some cutting-edge examples at work around the world.
We know we cannot prevent droughts or floods, but we can work much harder and more strategically to ensure these shocks don't devastate families or set back hard-won development gains. That is the goal behind today's launch of our Agency's first-ever Policy and Program Guidance on Building Resilience to Recurrent Crisis. With this policy, we take a step forward in essentially delivering results for the most vulnerable communities around the world.
HANOI -- It is an honor for me to join people who are so dedicated to making Vietnam a more inclusive society for people with disabilities. The theme of this year's International Day could not be more important. "Removing barriers" and being more inclusive – those are goals that resonate in every country, including my own. But they mean nothing without leadership in government and in society.
I am very happy to be here today to mark the handover of more than 5.5 million English language textbooks for students in primary grades 2, 3 and 4. Since 2009, USAID had been working very closely with the Ministry of Education to provide appropriate, quality textbooks and learning materials to students and teachers. These textbooks, and associated teacher training and support for using the textbooks, were made possible by joining Alabama Agricultural and Mechanical University (AAMU) with the Ministry of Education.

In 2000, His Highness the Aga Khan initiated a programme for the establishment of an integrated network of schools, called Aga Khan Academies, dedicated to expanding access to education of an international standard of excellence. The Academies, which will educate young men and women from pre-primary through higher secondary education, are planned for key locations in Africa, the Middle East and Asia. The first such school, the Aga Khan Academy in Mombasa, began operating in August of 2003, the second, the Aga Khan Academy in Hyderabad, India, in 2011 and the third Aga Khan Academy in Maputo, Mozambique in 2013.

The conviction that home-grown intellectual leadership of exceptional calibre is the best driver of society's future development, and that many developing-country education systems are too engulfed by poverty and numbers to develop their talented young people, has led His Highness the Aga Khan to found a network of catalytic centres of educational excellence around the world, known as the Aga Khan Academies.
The Aga Khan Academies are founded on the underlying premise that what students know is no longer the most important measure of an education; the true test is the ability of students and graduates to engage with what they do not know and to find solutions. The premise holds that a school must not only prepare a graduate for his or her first job, but for a life of inquiry and learning in a world that will change rapidly and continuously. Whereas rote learning may prepare students for jobs that currently exist, an Aga Khan Academy education goes further to prepare young men and women to grasp opportunities in the future.
Located in countries in Africa, South and Central Asia, and the Middle East, the Aga Khan Academies are an integrated network of residential schools offering girls and boys an international standard of education from pre-primary to secondary levels with a rigorous academic and leadership-development experience.

#gungodz #luftrausers #nuclear-throne #ridiculousfishing #sstre #supercratebox #scb-ios
If you've been following Nuclear Throne, there's been weekly updates – but here we've been sort of quiet as we burrowed into that project. But since 2014 is almost over, we thought we update our blog here with some of our closing notes. Let's start with the bad news and move to the good news, OK? Just feels nicer to end on the high note.
The bad news is mostly related to our earlier games and mostly comes in the form of "we've finally learned not to announce dates before we're 100% certain". Nuclear Throne has taken an absurd amount of time with weekly public updates, and it turns out having to release an update every week means you don't have a lot of time for other things. Here's a quick summary of what we're up to at Vlambeer.
Ridiculous Fishing
While we hope you grabbed the Christmas hat in Ridiculous Fishing last week, the 2014 content update for Ridiculous Fishing has been postponed until further notice. Both ourselves, Zach Gage and Greg Wohlwend have been too busy with other projects to do anything particularly significant on the project. We apologise for this, and hope to have some news in the next year.
Super Crate Box iOS
An update for Super Crate Box for iOS should release in the first few months of 2015, which should finally enable support for additional screen ratios. Since this is also highly dependent on Halfbot's schedule, we can't promise anything here just yet.
We're aware of a trophy bug for LUFTRAUSERS on PlayStation Network platforms. Sadly, our original programmers on the project cannot further support the project due to new jobs. We've been working with Devolver Digital and found some people who can give LUFTRAUSERS a much-needed bugfix run. We'll have more news on that in the nearby future.
Well, that was the bad news! Nothing terrible, we hope, but it's still something we're sorry about. You learn as you go, we guess. We know you've trusted us with your time, enthusiasm and money – and we want to make sure that we deliver on our promises of fishing with machineguns, crate-collecting and aerial superweapons. Let's move on to the good news, then!
Super Crate Box, GUN GODZ & Serious Sam: The Random Encounter
GameMaker creator YoYoGames and Vlambeer are collaborating on bringing Super Crate Box, GUN GODZ and Serious Sam: The Random Encounter to additional platforms, most notably Windows 8. This 'support update pack' should enable these games to run on OS X and Linux, too. We'll be announcing a release date as soon as we've got a better overview of the effort that'll go into these fixes, and we'll keep you updated on Twitter, Facebook and our blog.
Nuclear Throne
Anyone who, by end of the 31st of December (CET), owns Nuclear Throne on Steam or has registered their game through Humble will receive a New Years' gift code for the game on January 1st, 2015. While we'll endeavour to make sure everyone gets their gift copy somewhere on the 1st, we can't 100% promise we'll be able to deliver all codes on January 1st. It's kind of a huge logistic effort to give away as many gift copies as we are (we couldn't be more thankful for that situation, though!).
We are afraid we can't make any exceptions to the deadline here because of the logistics of the whole endeavour.
You'll receive a giftable version of the version of Nuclear Throne that you bought (so a Steam gift copy for Steam players, a Humble gift link for Humble and Twitch). Just check your Steam account or the Humble link for your original copy. If you bought through Twitch, you can visit this page to claim it.
We hope that you'll give these gift keys to people with a good eye for video games, people that you know would love Nuclear Throne, and people that you think would've never heard of Nuclear Throne without your gift. Basically, we hope you'll grow our community with people you know are good people that care about games, and that could give us quality feedback on the game as we progress into 2015.
Please consider the gifted key as a thank you for your support of the game and a way to support us even further in our effort to make the best version of Nuclear Throne we can hope to build.
What an amazing year full of wonderful moments, from being the first studio to sell a game through Twitch (and showing them that game development deserves its own category on their platform) to Nuclear Throne's absolutely humbling performance. We were amazed with our mention on the top 10 developer lists by the games industry blog Gamasutra and happy to see Nuclear Throne and LUFTRAUSERS popping up on all sorts of top 10 lists. We had fun at all the events at which we've had the opportunity to talk to so many of you out there.
Vlambeer continues to be a strange and wonderful rollercoaster.
From the two of us here at Vlambeer, and on behalf of those who worked with us throughout 2014, see you in 2015.
Rami & J.W.

Committee meetings have begun again, which mark one of the first steps a bill must go through on its way to become law. In a typical 60-day session, about 1,000 pieces of legislation are introduced so the committees have their work cut out for them sifting through testimony and research. Our week began with a joint session with the House of Representatives where the governor gave his State of the Commonwealth address. He gave a general overview of the way he saw the financial state of the state.

To celebrate Dan Martensen's new book, Photographs from the American Southwest, out October 31st in a limited edition of 200 from Damiani, Milk Gallery will exhibit his work tomorrow night, November 17th, from 7 until 10pm. We asked him to tell us a little bit about it.
DAN MARTENSEN In the book I explore this place, the American Southwest. All around there are habitats forgotten, frozen in time. Driving through the desert you find abandoned houses, housing developments that failed to launch and then left to spoil in the sun, a dead garden that was once a motel pool but is now filled with dry desert dirt. There are messages from God and churches and from billboards promising a better tomorrow even though everywhere you look are signs of paradise lost.
Things that the average local passerby looks at and may find to be an eyesore, many of these things are very beautiful to me. Especially the way that the sun and the dry desert air seems to mummify things and fade their colors. The show is a twenty-one image selection I made from the book and are images that i feel best embody these things I find so interesting and so beautiful."
What prompted your excursion to this area?
DM The first photos I took for the book were taken on a road trip to Las Vegas from Los Angeles for a friend's birthday weekend. I was about 23 and didn't have the money to stay in the big fancy resort with the rest of my friends, and being a photographer and interested in the underbelly of things, I opted to stay in the Old Strip of Vegas so I could walk around and see what life—or lack thereof—there really was to see. Rather than thousands of tourists and bright lights, there were rundown businesses and motels, beggars, addicts, and a general lack of optimism that somehow made things so much more interesting to me.
I wound up leaving my friends at the casino at sunrise only to go back to my thirty-dollar-a-night roach motel and grab my camera in time to get the good light, walking up and down the strip taking photos. From that point forward I just kind of made every effort I could to get back out to the desert, whether I was in L.A. working on a photoshoot, or visiting extended family there, I'd always have my camera. Eventually I started to see a body of work emerge and that's when I got serious about going to the Southwest and really exploring.
How long did it take to get all the photos for the show?
DM I took about fifteen road trips over about nine years. Some were just two or three days, but some were longer, including a couple cross-country trips and a few border town trips that I will never tell my mother about. I'd usually just rent a car and if I had a friend who would be up for jumping in with me I'd bring him along.
My friend Evan is a jewelry designer, and every year he and his father and a few of their colleagues go to Tucson, Arizona for the big gem show. I'd tag along and check out the show, then I'd hop in the rental car and make my way to the border of Mexico, sometimes for a day or two then return and we'd meet up in Utah and go snowboarding at the tail end of my trip. When I say it like that it makes me laugh, like I've got all this time to just wander around the Southwest, but there's something about the place that just keeps you coming back. Even having completed this body of work I'm curious to get back there and see more.
Where are you from originally?
DM I'm from Pleasantville, New York. I spent a few years in college at RISD, but otherwise I've lived in [New York] City since. A big part of this project really is how different the Southwestern environment is to New York. It's kind of a great contrast.

If you've had a general physical for school before, you might have seen a list to give to your doctor that told him or her what to check you out for to be sure you're healthy and well. Just like your body, our relationships need basic checkups now and then, too. We often have users come to the interactive portions of the site who have read very short checklists about healthy relationships before, but who feel like they're too vague to offer much, and who need help evaluating the health and well-being of their relationship from a broader perspective. Want one of those shorter lists? Here's a good one.
Here's a more extensive list for your relationships to go through by yourself, give to a partner to check, and share and go through together. Maybe you want to look over it as a whole, or maybe just focus on one or two areas where you think there may be some issues, or places where your relationship could stand some improvement.
Even if everyone says everything is fine, sharing a list like this can make someone feel like they have more permission to speak up about something that really isn't so fine, or allow each of you to identify areas that might be okay, but would be great with a little extra focus put on them.
Want more in-depth information on healthy relationships? You can find that right here. Want to look at an article about some possible troublespots? Try this one on. Worried your relationship might be unhealthy or abusive? Check this out.

Apparently the cursive I learned in elementary school is outdated.
The newest push in education? Coding. And this week – backed by the likes of Mark Zuckerberg, Ashton Kutcher, and the POTUS himself – computer science education website Code.org is making that clear. Introducing "The Hour of Code," an initiative which encourages schools to teach their students coding (not cursive) for an hour this week.
"Don't just buy a new video game – make one," Obama speaks out. "Don't just download the latest app – help design it."
Now ladies, here's where you come in: According to ELLE, "By 2020, there are expected to be one million jobs in tech and programming. But while 57% of bachelor's degrees are earned by women, only 12% of computer science degrees are held by women." Which means tech jobs (like this company) are going to need you. Lots of you.

Debra is fantastic and what a clever ting for Kmart to use her.
I remember your first picture (I think) of Debra, with a big metal chain across her chest as accent. She looked fabulously different and daring and and really awesome. She is totally fearless in her creativity and clever as the dickens and great fun. And she is beautiful!

Kmart is savvy to hire Debra as one of their brand champions. I only hope they will let her loose to style and reinvent their off-the-rack items--but she may end up in non-clothes departments using interesting elements to create her stylish, one-of-a-kind looks.

Articles in this series
Update SQL files
The update SQL file(s) are located in a directory that is listed in the manifest file:
<update> <schemas> <schemapath type="mysql">sql/updates</schemapath> </schemas> </update>
There is a file for each component version. Each file name must match the version string in the manifest file for that version. Joomla uses this string to determine which SQL files(s) to execute, and in what order they will be executed. Joomla uses the PHP version_compare function for this. Familiarize yourself with this command. Your version sequence needs to adhere to the conventions of this command. For example, the SQL files for version 3.1 include:
1.0.sql (empty) 1.1.sql UPDATE `#__democompupdate_mytable` SET myvalue='Version 1.1 text' WHERE id=1; 1.1.1.sql UPDATE `#__democompupdate_mytable` SET myvalue='Version 1.1.1 text' WHERE id=1; 1.2.sql INSERT INTO `#__democompupdate_mytable` (id,myvalue) VALUES (2,'Version 1.2 text'); 1.2.1.sql UPDATE `#__democompupdate_mytable` SET myvalue='Version 1.2.1 text' WHERE id=2; 1.3.sql INSERT INTO `#__democompupdate_mytable` (id,myvalue) VALUES (3,'Version 1.3 text');
This example has complete install files for component versions 1.0 (initial), 1.1.1 and 1.3. Update SQL files are included for additional incremental component versions (1.1, 1.2 and 1.2.1) between these three versions. These extra versions illustrate the process for updates that span more than one incremental version.
- When updating from version 1.0 to version 1.1.1, both files 1.1.sql and 1.1.1.sql are executed. The SQL commands update the value of the first, and only, row in the database table. The command in 1.1.1.sql over-writes the value that was written by 1.1.sql.
- When updating from version 1.1.1 to version 1.3, files 1.2.sql, 1.2.1.sql and 1.3.sql are executed. The commands in 1.2.sql and 1.3.sql each create a new row in the database table.
- When updating from version 1.0 directly to 1.3, files 1.1.sql, 1.1.1.sql, 1.2.sql, 1.2.1.sql and 1.3.sql are all executed. You can see the cumulative effect of the table changes in the component front-end.
Joomla executes the database updates in the sequence that would occur, as if the user had updated each version separately. This would be necessary if an incremental database update depended on the correct update from the previous version. An example would be: an addition of a table value during one version depended on the insertion of a new table field during the update of the previous version.
Joomla uses the PHP function version_compare to define the execution order of the SQL files. The sequencing of your component version string must adhere to that defined by the version_compare function.

text: Dr. Joseph G. Leahy Associate Professor, Microbiology Biography My research interests center on the molecular genetic, physiological, ecological, and evolutionary aspects of hydrocarbon biodegradation in the environment. The biodegradation of hydrocarbons by naturally-occurring bacteria and fungi and in soil and water is a global process which prevents the accumulation of these compounds, some of which are toxic and/or carcinogenic. One important group of hydrocarbon contaminants is composed of the monoaromatic hydrocarbons such as benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylene (BTEX), which are found in gasoline and other petroleum products. I use molecular approaches to study the degradation of toluene by several well-characterized strains of toluene-oxidixing bacteria. The purpose of my work is to gain a better understanding of the interrelationship between the genetic and physiological attributes of these bacteria and the effects of environmental conditions on their distribution, activity, and ability to degrade hydrocarbon contaminants. I am also interested in phylogenetic (evolutionary) relationships among the enzymes which catalyze individual steps in the degradation of hydrocarbon substrates. Visit the Leahy Lab page.

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) -- Ryan Clady has withdrawn from the Pro Bowl because of an injury, presumably the balky shoulder that bothered him during the Denver Broncos' first-round bye but which didn't prevent him from playing in their loss to Baltimore.
Clady will be replaced by Cincinnati Bengals tackle Andrew Whitworth.
The Broncos might still get five players to the Pro Bowl because Demaryius Thomas is next in line at receiver.
Thomas would get his first trip to the annual all-star game if New England beats the Ravens in the AFC championship this weekend because Patriots receiver Wes Welker would have to skip the Jan. 27 game to prepare for the Super Bowl.
Thomas would then join teammates Peyton Manning, Von Miller, Champ Bailey and Elvis Dumervil in Honolulu.

Gounod, Franck, Bizet, Fauré, Duparc, Ravel, Hahn, Satie
Anyone looking for an introduction to the mélodie could do a lot worse than starting with this charming collection from Yvonne Kenny and Malcolm Martineau. Traversing the highways, and a few byways, of French song from Gounod to Satie and Ravel, this collection presents several well known works without simply gorging on easy-listening favourites. True, like so many recitals, songs by the same composer huddle nervously together, rather than any attempt being made to explore the relationships between, say, Bizet's Chanson d'avril and Duparc's L'Invitation au voyage. Kenny is a fine exponent, at her best in the more reflective melodies such as Fauré's Prison. If there is a mild reservation, it is that her voice occasionally grows a shade too big in the livelier songs, such as Fauré's Nell. Martineau is typically masterly throughout, by turns following and leading Kenny with the kind of finely-judged timing that makes the accompanist's art sound deceptively easy. With an eloquent booklet note and full texts, this recital is an attractive buy.

In an unusually personal address about the diplomatic corps, Ambassador Anne Anderson, Ireland's representative to the United Nations and the United States, pulled back the curtain on the inner workings of U.N. elections.
Anderson, a visiting member of Fordham's faculty, presented the observations on April 18 at the Graduate School of Arts and Science's (GSAS) Gannon Lecture, titled "United Nations Elections: Power, Influence, Reputation."
"For us diplomats, even more so than in most other walks of life, the personal and the professional are intertwined," said Anderson.
She called her fellow diplomats "itinerants" whose common bond is often the transient nature of their profession. One way to gage the strength of such friendships, she said, was in the manner in which colleagues vote during U.N. elections.
Anderson said that such elections provide a "snapshot" of how things get done at the United Nations, which she described as a "sprawling complex organization," and allows observers to view "the bones and sinews, and judge what we find attractive and unattractive" about the process.
"Despite undoubted blemishes, the United Nations will always continue to speak to what is best in all of us," she said.
Anderson first focused on the U.N. "non-elections"—the unelected permanent members of the Security Council, known as the P5: the United States, Russia, China, the United Kingdom, and France. She said their position on the 15-member council, which provides them with higher status and veto power, was an anachronism spawned in long-gone war and is in "urgent need of reform" to balance out power.
Ireland, she said, was elected to a two-year term on the Security Council in 2000 and elected to the Human Rights Council (HRC) in 2012. The HRC is experiencing a growing clout, she said, as a result of a stagnant Security Council held back, in part, by a fractured relationship between two permanent members: the United States and Russia.
Nevertheless, the 10 rotating seats on the council remain a plum prize, with U.N.-member nations spending an increasing amount on campaigns for those seats. In 2000, Ireland spent nearly $1.2 million, while Australia spent upwards of $25 million. It's a trend that concerns the ambassador.
"If extravagant spending becomes the norm, it follows that those with deep pockets will be advantaged and those with limited resources will be edged out," she said.
Over recent years, she said, there has been developing "an increasingly pronounced sense of entitlement on the part of large states."
While smaller states such as Ireland have a level of voting solidarity through the Forum of Small States, their sway often comes through personal contacts and influence, she said. Through a process called "reciprocals," an agreement is made between two diplomats where one diplomat will vote for the other's cause in exchange for support later.
"Power speaks with a loud voice, influence adopts a softer tone," she said.
She noted that influence often gave the smaller states an edge.
"Attraction can have quite a complex chemistry, but it is essentially built on liking and respect," she said. "Neither of these sentiments can be switched on in the course of a campaign, both are normally built up over time."
Anderson referred to a nation's reputation, especially in building such personal relationships, as "a brand of currency." She added that a certain empathy for Ireland's story of emergence from colonialism "chimes with that of so many others."
She also mentioned another Irish factor that resonates to this day, "especially in this Fordham setting."
"Irish diplomats are the legatees and beneficiaries of the work done by Irish missionaries," she said.
The Gannon Lecture is delivered in the fall and spring of each year and is named for Robert I. Gannon, S.J., president of Fordham from 1936 to 1949.
Founded in 1841, Fordham is the Jesuit University of New York, offering exceptional education distinguished by the Jesuit tradition to more than 15,100 students in its four undergraduate colleges and its six graduate and professional schools.

Kamui is a powerful dōjutsu which originates from the Mangekyō Sharingan of Obito Uchiha.
Kamui allows the user to transfer anything to another dimension. The databook entry noted that if one spends a lot of time and trains one's chakra over and over again, this technique can be invoked.[1] However, Obito was able to use this technique the moment he awakened his Mangekyō Sharingan.[3]
This technique is a unique and specialised form of space–time ninjutsu that allows the user to achieve two very distinct, yet closely associated feats – teleportation and "intangibility". Kakashi Hatake likens the characteristics of the technique to those of Minato Namikaze's Flying Thunder God Technique, but notes that it seems to be much more versatile since it requires neither seal nor a summoning tattoo to be performed.[4] The side of the eye using the technique determines the specific property of it.
Left Eye
The left eye's version of this technique has long-range effects, warping objects to the other dimension; the latter of which is implied to be inescapable once there.[5]
Teleporting Barrier
In Kakashi's usage, the target is enveloped with a barrier space and the user concentrates their mind to what they gaze at. The target can struggle helplessly, but against this technique no defence is possible. When the technique is invoked, the space at the centre of the barrier is distorted and the target inside the barrier is drawn in completely. The location and size of the barrier can be specified at will. It is a dreadful technique that, with skilled use and enough chakra, can even pull an entire human being into another dimension. Kakashi was also able to use Kamui on himself to move from the other dimension where Obito had warped him to, back to the real world.[6][7] Similar to Obito, Kakashi managed to warp away Gyūki's body to the other dimension and eject it back into the real world by himself.[8]
During the Fourth Shinobi World War, Kakashi learned that there is a connection between his technique and Tobi's own space-time ninjutsu as the latter turned out to be his thought-to-be-dead comrade, Obito Uchiha and thus share access to the same alternate dimension through their respective techniques. After learning of the connection, Kakashi can teleport objects into the other dimension to hit whatever part of Obito exists there to counter his intangibility.[9]
Right Eye
The right eye's version of this technique uses it to teleport the user, or anything he touches to the said dimension; the latter of which is implied to be inescapable once there.[5] The right eye is also able to make the user "intangible" by transporting portions of his body to the same pocket dimension.[10]
In Obito's usage, by creating a swirling, spatial distortion centred upon his right eye, he is able to enter a dimensional void and teleport himself to another location instantaneously, exiting this void in a similar manner to how he entered.[11] During this process, Obito's chakra becomes untraceable until the teleportation is completed.[4] By his own admission, Obito can locate anyone and teleport to their current destination regardless of their whereabouts, evidenced by how he immediately found Taka as they were travelling to Konohagakure, as well as Minato Namikaze, who himself had teleported away from Obito.[12][13]
Similar to Kakashi's usage of the technique, Obito is also capable of teleporting other people or objects to a separate dimension, through the same swirling pattern, centred upon his right eye. However, instead of teleporting the targeted component, this technique's effect acts as an attractive force, both visibly drawing the target inwards and distorting their form until they disappear. After absorbing targets through this process, Obito is able to eject them at any time of his choosing, with varying degrees of force. In doing so, he is able to attack using weapons of gigantic proportions and/or quantities with relative ease and at a moment's notice, giving opponents little opportunity to react accordingly.[14]
Unlike in Kakashi's usage, this form of the technique requires Obito to make direct physical contact with the intended target, leaving him vulnerable as he cannot be intangible when doing so.[15] Despite not always being present, Obito can keep his targets under genjutsu while they are confined inside this pocket dimension and thus, keep them incapacitated for extended durations.[16]
Using this technique, Obito is also able to render himself intangible to allow other objects to pass harmlessly through his own body, which he employs primarily to avoid incurring injury from incoming attacks.[17] In actuality, this is but another extension of space–time ninjutsu, where by Obito instead teleports any part of his body that occupies the same space as another object to a separate dimension.[10] As the transported portions of his body are always obscured by the other objects, Obito appears completely whole to those observing him. By overlapping his entire body with a sufficiently large object, such as the ground, he can not only conceal himself from view, but also erase all traces of his chakra. Obito often exploits this characteristic to ambush his opponents from below.[18]
Though he is unable to establish any physical contact while being intangible, Obito can still use chakra chains.[19] He also seemingly possesses the capability to extend this intangibility to whatever he's touching at the moment of activation,[20] as long as he is able to maintain some form of contact with at least a part of the desired item or person.[21]
Since this technique is shared by two different users of the same pair of eyes, both parties can use their own technique to counter the effectiveness of the other, thus making it useless to use against one another directly.[22] Obito can extend this negation to targets outside of his own body, as he negated Kakashi's attempt to decapitate the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path's head.[23] Similarly, Kakashi was able to escape Obito's attempt to trap him in the other dimension.[24]
Left Eye
The Mangekyō Sharingan is a dōjutsu that, with continuous usage, burdens the user with the loss of their eyesight. Since this is the source of Kamui, using it in rapid succession puts Kakashi's body at risk as well. As his Sharingan was transplanted, usage of this technique poses an even greater risk to Kakashi. Similar to Amaterasu, repeated use of the technique puts a great deal of strain on the user, causing their eyes to bleed if overused.[25]
Kakashi is able to use this technique up to at least three times in a given day, even when starting at full strength. At first Kakashi's aim and control over the size of the barrier was imperfect. Over time his aim and control improved, as he was able to accurately warp away small and fast moving objects, such as a nail.[26] Kakashi is even able to consecutively warp away two fast-moving arrows.[27] He also became able to use this technique several more times in a single day.
Right Eye
In Obito's case, the primary weakness of this technique is that both aspects cannot be used concurrently, as he must become and remain tangible in order to transport himself or others, providing a small opportunity in which he is unable to pass through objects and thus, is vulnerable to injury. This deficiency means that he must also materialise when ejecting stored items as well, presenting the same vulnerability.[28] According to Konan, Obito can only maintain his intangibility for approximately five consecutive minutes at a time, after which he is presumably rendered completely solid for a duration. She also reveals that the time it takes him to absorb something is proportional to its mass, and that it takes longer to absorb himself than another person or object.[29]
Additionally, due to the nature of Obito's intangibility, the sections of his body residing in the other dimension can still interact normally with other objects that are also contained within this dimension, meaning they can be damaged by such items. As this technique originates from Obito Uchiha's Sharingan, of which both Kakashi and Obito possess one of, the two share the same dimension when teleporting objects, a characteristic that Kakashi exploited to injure Obito on multiple occasions during the Fourth Shinobi World War.[30]
Unlike Kakashi or any Mangekyō Sharingan users, Obito's extensively continuous usage of the Kamui technique does not seem to tire him at the very least, nor even cause his eyesight to deteriorate.
Kamui is the word for a divine being in Ainu mythology, although it is almost never written with kanji in modern times. In a more general Japanese context, Kamui refers to the might and majesty of the gods, particularly the Shintō Kami.
- The Third Databook seems to hint that other Mangekyō Sharingan users can access the technique through sheer training of the eye, though this is unconfirmed.[1]
