Iris (anime)
this wiki
This article is about the anime character. For other uses, see Iris.
| Iris
(アイリス Airisu)
|Dragon Village
| Ash
|Dragon Master
|First Appearance:
|BW001: In The Shadow of Zekrom!
|Voice actor:
| Eileen Stevens (English)
Aoi Yūki (Japanese)
Iris (Japanese: アイリス Airisu) is one of Ash's travelling companions in the Unova region. She takes on the role of Misty from his travels in Kanto, The Orange Islands, and Johto, May from his travels in Hoenn and Dawn from his Sinnoh journey.
Before meeting Ash
When she was little, Iris spent most of her time playing with wild Pokémon. One day, a Drilbur took Iris's friend Patrat's home. For ten days, Iris kept challenging the Drilbur but Iris continued losing to it. On the tenth try, she was able to fight, but Drilbur almost fell from the top of a cliff. Iris saved him, and he became her Pokémon.
They entered the tournament of the Dragon Village, and won. During the final battle Drilbur evolved into Excadrill. However, Iris and Excadrill lost their 100th battle against Drayden, who secretly nods to the Elder.
Pokémon: Black & White
Iris is a wild girl that Ash met while travelling in the Unova region. Ash first encountered Iris by mistaking her hair for a Pokémon (since he saw her in a bush picking berries and used his Pokédex, which told him that the Pokémon was in her hair.) He then threw a Poké Ball at her head and she then yells at Ash but soon becomes quick friends with his Pikachu, by hugging him and poking his cheeks which caused him to zap her, for Pikachu gets mad when he gets annoyed by another trainer. Her goal used to be a secret to Ash and Cilan, though it is revealed in BW030, that her goal was to become a dragon master. She also wishes to see the legendary Pokémon Zekrom. She appears to be a wild child and has been seen swinging from vines in forests in order to get from place to place.
Iris, like Ash, Dawn and Misty seems to have her partner Pokémon stay out of its Poké Ball on most occasions. Her partner Pokémon is Axew, the Tusk Pokémon. However, despite the fact, it doesn't go into its Poké Ball and Axew just jumps into Iris' hair whenever she decides to actively go somewhere.Unlike May or Dawn she practically radiates confidence. On the tomboy scale she is between Misty and May. Her expressions unseen by others suggests a sly, almost manipulative, but well meaning nature. Like Misty at the start of their journey, Ash is in the dark that Iris may or may not be a Gym Leader. Also like Misty, Iris thinks Ash is a little kid but helps him out since he doesn't know a lot about the Unova region.
In BW036, she meets Georgia , her rival, who defeated her when they first met. She also told Ash and Cilan of how she obtained her Excadrill: When she was younger she played with all the Pokémon in the forest and learned that a bully Drilbur stole a Patrat's food.
In BW040, she entered the Don Battle Tournament and won the Wing Set.
Pokémon: Black and White: Rival DestiniesIris cheered on for Ash in his Gym Battle with Elesa. Then she and Ash have some fun in Nimbasa City visiting all the attractions. Iris also meets Champion Alder, had the opportunity to befriend some Deino that belonged to other trainers and she also dressed as a shrine maiden to summon Landorus.
In BW082, Iris appeared to be glad that the Opelucid Gym was temporarily closed. Meaning that she may be the Gym Leader there. She visited her hometown and helped her friend tame her Hydreigon, after which, she was challenged by Drayden but was defeated.
In BW092, Iris entered the Junior Cup. Her first round was against her rival, Georgia. Iris used Dragonite and Georgia used Beartic. Despite Dragonite not listening to her, Iris defeats Georgia and advances to the quarter-finals. In the 2nd round, she battled Dawn. Dawn used her Mamoswine and Iris used her Dragonite again. Dragonite listened to her at first, but he disobeyed her again. Despite that, Iris defeats Dawn and advances to the semi-finals. In the semi-finals, Iris battled Ash. Ash used his Krokorok and Iris used her Dragonite. During the battle, Dragonite was starting to listen to Iris which is why she was winning. The battle started to take a turn when Ash's Krokorok evolved into Krookodile. Ash's Krookodile learned Dragon Claw and he used it on Dragonite, which is super-effective. After he was hit by that attack, Dragonite started to lose contol. Ash's Krookodile then used Crunch on Dragonite. Still not listening to Iris, Dragonite used Dragon Rush, which Ash's Krookodile dodged the attack by using Dig. Then he jumped out and used Stone Edge, which was also super-effective. This attack knocked out Dragonite giving Ash the win and Iris was eliminated from the Junior Cup.
On hand
|Like Ash's Pikachu, it doesn't go in its Poké Ball, and when it needs to retreat, it hides in Iris' hair, coming out to eat when necessary. It hasn't been used in battle much, but when it does, it is shown to be weak and is likely to be a very young Pokémon. It was seen to dream of evolving all the way up to be a Haxorus. Axew 's moves are Dragon Rage, Scratch, Outrage and Giga Impact.
|Axew ♂
|Iris sent out her Excadrill when her Axew got captured by a wild Scolipede. Excadrill is an incredibly powerful Pokémon and has powerful moves such as Drill Run which makes Excadrill a powerhouse of Iris' team. When it is sent out, it spins around, folding its arms and head together like a drill. It however does not always obey Iris and requires coaxing before it will battle its opponents. It is also revealed in BW036 that Iris captured Excadrill as a Drilbur. Excadrill's moves are Dig, Metal Claw, Drill Run, Fury Swipes, Mud-Slap and Focus Blast.
|Drilbur → Excadrill ♂
|After meeting up with Bianca, Ash and his friends learned of her quest to capture an Emolga. After Iris saved the wild Emolga from several Swoobats, it decided to go with Iris, not Bianca. Emolga's moves are Volt Switch, Discharge, Attract and Hidden Power.
|Emolga ♀
|Iris met Dragonite in Undella Town, where it was accused of causing blackouts. Iris healed its injuries and defended it against people who were blaming it for the blackout. It eventually chose to join Iris. Dragonite is a powerhouse; however, as seen in the World Tournament, it relies more on its instincts in battle, often ignoring Iris' orders. Dragonite has powerful moves such as Thunderpunch, Flamethrower, Ice Beam, and Dragon Rush.
|Dragonite ♂
|Georgia's Vanilluxe was used by everyone to help escape. This was only temporary, and Iris' fear of Ice-types kicked in.
|Vanilluxe ♀
|As a young child, Iris was shown to have various befriended Pokémon. One of them was a fire-type elemental monkey, Pansear.
|As a young child, Iris was shown to have various befriended Pokémon. One of them was Minccino.
|As a young child, Iris was shown to have various befriended Pokémon. At a pond, she would play with the water-type elemental monkey, Panpour
|As a young child, Iris was shown to have various befriended Pokémon. One of these is Deerling, who pulled Iris away every time she lost to Drilburr.
|As a young child, Iris was shown to have various befriended Pokémon. One of them was a Pidove.
|As a young child, Iris was shown to have various befriended Pokémon. One of them was a Sandile.

- Iris is named after the Iris Flower which is a native flower to Africa and North America. Also in Greek mythology Iris is the goddess of the rainbow.
- Iris is currently the only main character in the anime series to keep her Japanese name.
- Iris is the second of Ash's companions to have an Electric-type Pokémon. The first was Dawn.
- Coincidently, both Dawn's Pachirisu and Iris' Emolga are based on a type of squirrel.
- In BW034, Iris was revealed to have a fear of Ice-type Pokémon, the same way Misty has a fear of Bug-Type Pokémon, so this would make her the second female companion to have a fear of a specific type of Pokémon.
- Iris has currently won two Tournaments in the course of the anime series so far.
- The first was back in her youth which was the Dragon Village Tournament, the second being the Don Battle tournament.
- In the anime, she appears to be a novice trainer (still starting out), while in the Pokémon Black and White game, she is a Gym Leader (though she is not the gym leader in Black).
- Iris and Axew are similar to Zoroark and Zorua in Zoroark Master of Illusions. Axew loves to hide in Iris' hair, same as Zorua. Iris leaps around the way Zoroark did. Iris' hair is the same style as Zoroark.
- Iris is Ash's first female companion that didn't have a bike.
- Iris is the second of Ash's female companion who is a complete tomboy, first was Misty and first that excels in physical capabilities.
- Iris is the third female character to have glowing red eyes when she gets angry. The other two being Jessie and May.
- Iris, (according to her) says all people of the Dragon Village, have very good hearing and eyesight.
- All of Iris' Pokémon have a type that is weak against Ice-types, though it should be noted that Excadrill is also a Steel-type, which counters that weakness.
- Iris is the most childish character of all the main characters in the anime. She'd call any character a little kid, when she's the one acting like it. She did this with Ash, Trip, Cilan, and Georgia more than once. As Ash would put it, "What's that suppose to mean?" Iris would even accuse others for things she's responsible for. Such an action proves she's a hypocrite.

- For the Police Helicopters in GTA III and GTA Chinatown Wars, see Police Helicopter (GTA III) and Helicopter (GTA CW) respectively.
The Western Company Police Maverick, also known as the VCPD Maverick in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories, is the Police adaptation of the civilian Maverick helicopter, and the first controllable Police Helicopter introduced in series when it debuted in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City.
The Police Maverick possess many characteristics of the preceding Police Helicopter in Grand Theft Auto III. When flown by Police Units once the player obtains a 3 stars wanted level, the helicopter has an "invisible" 5.56mm machine gun on the fuselage (similar in both sound and power to the M-60), as well as a searchlight, and a loud speaker (used by the Police to address the player from the skies) only absent in the GTA Vice City Stories rendition. The helicopter can also airdrop SWAT units on ropes in GTA III Era games starting with Vice City onward. In the GTA III, GTA Vice City and GTA Liberty City Stories the Police Maverick flown by the Police is actually a mesh - it's not solid and can go through buildings, without a chance of crashing either. If you were to press the enter vehicle button near it, the player would not try to get in the helicopter, therefore it is not proper as it cannot be obtained in anyway. In GTA III and GTA Liberty City Stories, the helicopters blow up upon contact with the player.
The Police Maverick controls similarly to a normal Maverick, differing only by its ability to pitch steeper than a regular Maverick (especially in games prior to GTA IV). In addition, Police Mavericks obtainable by the player will have no microphone or machine gun fire. A search light is also available on the GTA San Andreas rendition (see #Trivia).
GTA Vice City — GTA Vice City Stories
Like the Maverick, the helicopter has made repeated appearances in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories and Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories.
In GTA Vice City, GTA San Andreas and GTA Vice City Stories, the helicopter is usually always parked on the roof of the main police station of the city. In GTA Liberty City Stories, it is also not available in a normal game, but can be obtained by a third party trainer program. Like the Maverick, the Police Maverick originally featured two rotor blades instead of four.
With the exception of GTA San Andreas, two versions of the Police Maverick exist in all its appearances between GTA Vice City and GTA Vice City Stories. The back doors on airborne Police Mavericks slide back, but the back doors of Police Mavericks available to the player swing open instead. In GTA Vice City Stories, the slide-door variant retains GTA Vice City's green and white livery while the swing-door variant is only available in a olive/gold and white livery. The slide-door variant is not normally available to the player, but it is possible to spawn a slide-door Maverick in these games using trainers or cheat devices.
In GTA Vice City, GTA San Andreas and GTA Liberty City Stories, there is no visible Pilot flying the helicopter when it is flown by an NPC. This visual goof was rectified in GTA Liberty City Stories by simply having the windows of the helicopter blackened, obscuring the interior. In GTA Vice City Stories, there is a pilot appearing as a normal Police Officer without any Pilot Gear.
Once the player has destroyed a VCPD Maverick in GTA Vice City Stories, the pilot will drop a Pistol and a Nightstick.
Grand Theft Auto IV
The Police Maverick is in turn based on a redone Maverick, and as a result, features a rear slide-doors and a four-blade main rotor. Its design is based on that of the Bell 206. It flies and turns slightly faster than a regular Maverick, thus giving it more maneuverability. Like almost all law enforcement vehicles in GTA IV, the Police Maverick doesn't feature a radio.
In place of an "invisible" machine gun under the fuselage are two Police Officers seated on both sides of the helicopter, programmed to shoot the player with M4 Carbines Rifles ; its ability to deploy NOOSE Tactical Response Unit Officers has also been dropped in the game. In The Ballad Of Gay Tony, the Police Officers will be armed with M249 SAWs instead.
Also, unlike other helicopters in Grand Theft Auto IV, the Police Maverick doesn't spawn anywhere in the base game and can only be obtained by being stolen from the police. (See Locations below for methods to steal one)
Grand Theft Auto V
In Grand Theft Auto V, the Police Maverick is based on the real-life French Eurocopter AS350B, replacing the Bell 206 on which the beta Maverick was originally based. Features a rear slid-doors and a three-blade main rotor. It is used for higher level pursuits, finding illegal drug storage and other such crimes. One or two police officers will aim at the player with customized Carbine Rifles. The helicopter is also equipped with a high-intensity spotlight, capable of highlighting targets. It is also fitted with a camera, which in GTA Online can be used to watch other players being chased by police via the players TV.
- In the 3D Universe, there was always a picture of a Police Maverick in the top-left corner of the every games' cover art (this is true for the North American cover art). The only 3D Universe that didn't have this was GTA Advance, which lacked the conjoined boxes style cover to begin with.
- In all of the 3D Universe games, after you get four stars or higher, two police helicopters will be sent after the player. (In GTA San Andreas this happens when you get five or more stars.)
- In GTA San Andreas and GTA Vice City Stories, the player is able to steal the Police Maverick chasing them on certain occasions.
- In all 3D Universe, a glitch occurs if the Police Maverick is destroyed and is falling to the ground, and the player activates the "Lower Wanted Level Cheat Code" or "Never Wanted Cheat Code" - The helicopter will fly back into the air like nothing even happened. This only happens if the player's wanted level goes under three stars.
- In GTA Vice City and GTA Liberty City Stories, while it is possible to spawn the slide-door Police Maverick that pursues the player, it will be invisible, and trying to enter it will crash the game, since the game will be looking for the missing door that does not exist on the helicopter. Even if it is controlled, it cannot be flown as pressing the "forward" key does nothing. It otherwise behaves like a normal helicopter, and it can be destroyed, either with the use of weapons or a cheat code.
- If you spawn the unobtainable slide door variant (through trainers only) and get in, the pilot seat is actually in the passenger seat in the back and the player can't take off, only hover. It has a breakable tail and the chopper always is too heavy, causing it to sink. The helicopter also lacks the rotors.
- The Police Maverick appears in Rockstar North's Manhunt 2, bearing the VCPD's color scheme.
- in GTA Vice City, the machine gun actually fires from the back rather than under the belly.
- in GTA Vice City, the red light on the back of airborne Police Mavericks is dislocated, and remain in the same place as its predecessor.
- Police Mavericks can be seen flying around without a wanted level. They are not solid and do not have any engine noise, for example, when you touch it you go right through it. They also can not be destroyed.
- In the beta version of GTA San Andreas, there were LSPD Police Mavericks.[1]
- A Police Maverick will not shoot the player if they are inside any aircraft, it will only chase him instead.
- GTA San Andreas is the only GTA game to date that lets the player turn on its powerful search light, but its the direction can only be controlled in the PC version - in console versions, it moves in the opposite direction to the movement of the helicopter. The light can only be turned on at night by pressing the left analog stick (Xbox), button (PS2) or Left Shift key (PC). The searchlight is also known to be in Grand Theft Auto V, yet it's unknown if the player will be able to use it like in San Andreas.
- An easy way to take down a Police Maverick (or any other helicopter) in GTA San Andreas without using any rockets, is to shoot the rotor to which the blades are attached to with a sniper rifle. If the player hits the rotor directly, the helicopter will start smoking black smoke and then spinning out of control until it hits the ground and finally explodes, similar to what happens when a rocket hits it.
- If the player manages to steal the Police Maverick in GTA San Andreas while it is in flight, the helicopter will remain hostile. For example, if the player parks the helicopter and gets out, the helicopter's underbelly will shoot at the player from the ground; this is due to programming limitations however.
- In GTA San Andreas there is a Glitch only on the Xbox and PC version. If the player does a replay then the Police Maverick will fly away after the replay is done or exited.
- The Pilot, Gunner and Co-Pilot are "Jim", "Dave", "Ned", and "John" respectively. (Jim: There he is kill him, John! John: Why do I always do the fuckin' killing?!") and (John: Jim, you see anything? Jim: Over there!! shoot him!) And (Hey, I can see my house from here!) (Dave, will you shut the hell up? You, stop!!) GTA San Andreas Police Quotes.
- The mounted gun oddly bypasses any coding that would make the object/character invincible. For instance, it will damage the player even if the "Invincibility" cheat is activated. It also can damage a Rhino, which would be impossible with any other firearm; only molotovs, flamethrowers, and crashing the tank have the ability of damaging it.
- If the player is standing on the Police helicopter for too long while the helicopter is shooting at the player, it may shoot itself down. (This can only be done with Jetpack.)
- The A.I. controlled Police maverick may sometimes appear under the ground if you use the Jetpack to shake the Maverick off multiple times.
- Despite a news article mentioning that the LCPD didn't acquire Helicopters until 2001, Police Mavericks appear in Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories, which is set in 1998.
- It is possible to hijack a slide-door Police Maverick in GTA Liberty City Stories, but only with a cheat device. When the player enters it, the game will show "HELICOPTER" on the bottom right of the screen. Interestingly enough, the gunner will continue to shoot the player. This helicopter has several unique properties - it is extremely responsive, has different flight characteristics and cannot be blown up with a cheat. It also retains its unique damage system and can pass through buildings and water unaffected. If the player stores it in a garage it will lose these properties and become invisible again.
- One of the Pilots is called "Jimmy". (Co-Pilot: Jimmy, can you keep this 'copter steady?").
- Whilst all Police Mavericks have Police Radios, the GTA Liberty City Stories rendition obtainable through cheat devices is equipped with a conventional radio.
- Occasionally in GTA IV, when you hit the Police Maverick with a rocket in a specific place, such as the rotor blades or the tail, it will lean forward with the nose and plummet down, and explode upon impact with the ground. This is especially dangerous when you are directly below the helicopter when it crashes.
- There is a Glitch involving the Police Maverick in Grand Theft Auto IV where once Niko gets out, the helicopter will start flying away and fall once it is realized that there is no Pilot. This is because the game still reads the helicopter as AI-Controlled. Holding Y (Xbox 360) or Triangle (PS3) to shut off the engine will prevent this. This will no longer happen when the player goes back to the safe-house from a considerable distance away from it.
- In GTA IV, if the two riflemen are killed Independently the Police Maverick will leave and return with two new riflemen in about a minute
- In GTA V, despite being refered to as the 'Police Maverick', there is a white and red medical ambulance version of the helicopter although it is still listed as a Police Maverick upon entering.
GTA Vice City
GTA San Andreas
- On top of the LSPD rooftop in Pershing Square, Los Santos after completing the mission Learning to Fly.
GTA Vice City Stories
- On roof of the Downtown police station (after the mission From Zero to Hero is completed.)
- On the roof of the Washington Beach police station (before and after the mission From Zero To Hero.)
GTA IV + Episdoes from Liberty City
- 1st Method - Only obtainable by sniping the pilot, making the helicopter slowly hover to the ground undamaged. It only works 5/10 times, which means in which the Police Maverick will spin rapidly around in circles, hitting the ground with fierce force and exploding. Also obtainable by an even more frustrating process in which the helicopter is disabled at a low enough altitude that all occupants live, and then the Police Maverick is pushed into a Safe-house Parking Spot. That method probably works less often than the previous. Other than that, you can only fly the Police Maverick in MultiPlayer Race Mode.
- 2nd method - Go to middle of pond in Middle Park and snipe people until you get a three star wanted level. When the helicopter appears, shoot the Pilot from the side. If it falls in shallow water, it is yours. Since the Police Officers will not try to swim to the island to get you, you will have plenty of chances to get the Police Maverick before the NOOSE Annihilators appear.
NOTE: If the player manages to lure the helicopter over the pond in Middle Park, it will be easier to obtain, although the helicopter must have an open space and the water must be shallow.

Your Guide to Austin Hotels
Located in mideastern Texas, the capitol city of Austin was originally known as Waterloo. Settled by German, Swedish, and Mexican immigrants, the city grew as the railroad system was introduced. In 1886, the Driscoll Hotel became the first Austin hotel to accommodate visitors to the area. After a fire destroyed the building, the space was determined to be the site for a new structure that would be the Capitol building. During this time, hotels in Austin TX began to be commonplace.
When planning Austin vacations, find that downtown Austin hotels are plentiful with choices ranging from luxury hotels and romantic hotels to pet friendly hotels and boutique hotels. When considering reservations at any of the best hotels in Austin, find that suites are offered in many of the available packages.

Visit in July to participate in the Fourth of July Fireworks and Symphony. Watch as the sky lights up over Lady Bird Lake. For food and wine enthusiasts, the Austin Food and Wine Festival takes place in April.
From the airport, Austin hotels are easily found throughout the city. With over 6000 hotel rooms in the downtown area, business travelers will find that the convention center is located a short distance away. After experiencing a trade show or expo, take a walk down sixth avenue. Discover intimate restaurants specializing in worldwide cuisines. Considered one of Bon Apetit's top ten restaurants for 2009, Parkside uses simple ingredients to create works of edible art. After, have a nightcap at Elysium where the drink of the day varies.

About Takeda's Alogliptin and Alogliptin and PioglitazoneAlogliptin is a DPP-4 inhibitor being investigated in the U.S., as an adjunct to diet and exercise, for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. DPP-4 inhibitors address insulin deficiency by slowing the inactivation of incretin hormones GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) and GIP (glucose-dependent insulinotropic peptide). As a result, an increased amount of active incretins enables the pancreas to secrete insulin in a glucose-dependent manner, thereby assisting in the management of blood glucose levels. A New Drug Application for alogliptin was approved in April 2010 by the Japanese Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare for the treatment of type 2 diabetes, and Takeda currently sells the therapy under the brand name NESINA in this market.

- "We are ironborn. We're not subjects, we're not slaves. We do not plow the field or toil in the mine. We take what is ours."
- ―Balon Greyjoy
The ironborn (or rarely, ironmen) are the natives of the Iron Islands off the west coast of Westeros. They are a fiercely independent seafaring people who chafe at the rule of the Iron Throne.
- See also: Drowned God, Storm God, or Drowned Men
Like the Northmen, they are descendants of the First Men, but while their mainland cousins adopted the Old Gods of the Children of the Forest, the ironborn worship a deity known as the Drowned God. The Drowned God is said to have created the ironborn to reave and rape and carve out their names in blood and song.[1] When the Andals invaded Westeros, they conquered the Iron Islands as well, but instead of converting the ironborn, the Andals that settled on the Islands were absorbed into the local culture, adopting their religion and way of life as their own.[2]
Culture and Economy
- See also: Old Way
The traditional ironborn way of life, known as the Old Way, is centered on piracy and raiding. An ironborn is considered a man only when he has killed his first foe, while his personal wealth is expected to be obtained by "paying the iron price" - that is, seizing it from enemies he has personally killed. An ironborn is also expected to abstain from working the land or toiling in the mines, since such tasks are reserved for thralls - men captured in raids and forced into servitude.
The Iron Islands are ruled by House Greyjoy from the castle and island of Pyke. Lord Balon Greyjoy rules the Islands. His only surviving son and heir is Theon Greyjoy who was formerly a ward and hostage of Lord Eddard Stark at Winterfell.
In the books
The ironborn are an intermingling of the blood of the original First Men settlers of the islands and the Andals who followed six thousand years later. While the Andals and the Faith of the Seven came to dominate everywhere else below the Neck, they found less purchase on the Islands. While a few converts to the Faith of the Seven may be found there even in the present day, most of the Andal invaders converted to the native deity, the Drowned God, instead. The Andal invaders completely acculturated to the distinct "ironborn" culture, and their invasion had relatively little impact upon the Iron Islands. In the present day, the ironborn generally think of their distinct culture as stretching back without interruption to the Dawn Age, long before the Andals arrived. Thus the ironborn are ethnically composed of the same First Men/Andal mix as most of the rest of Westeros: they are culturally, not ethnically distinct.
The ironborn consider reaving and piracy to be their birthright, and fear that three centuries of peace under the Iron Throne is destroying their heritage and removing their edge, especially as the Seven have found more purchase on the Islands since the Targaryen invasion. Nine years before the War of the Five Kings, to reverse this trend, Lord Balon declared independence in the Greyjoy Rebellion but was soundly defeated. Since then the ironborn have remained quiet vassals of the Iron Throne.

Verner Panton, born 1926 in Gamtofte, Denmark, studied at Odense Technical College before enrolling at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts in Copenhagen as an architecture student. He worked from 1950-52 in the architectural firm of Arne Jacobsen, and founded an independent studio for architecture and design in 1955. His furniture designs for the firm Plus-linje attracted attention with their geometric forms. In the following years Panton created numerous designs for seating furniture and lighting. Panton's collaboration with Vitra began in the early 1960s, when the firm decided to develop what became his best-known design, the Panton Chair, which was introduced in 1967. This was also the first independently developed product by Vitra. Verner Panton died in 1998 in Copenhagen. Vitra's re-edition of designs by Panton, as well as the retrospective of his work mounted by the Vitra Design Museum in 2000, bear witness to the special relationship between Vitra and Verner Panton.Read More

I would be very happy if for the future the developers would take a look into this matchup.
IT is the most retarded, most stupid matchup of all, and is in 90% of cases a 30 turn draw. maybe in 15% of tha cases it would give a clear result when we had an other 30 truns to play. It would be great if this matchup would give more clear results and not just waste peoples time.
I am writing this post after wasting ca 1h and 4 min on 1 of such a game.

Ellison's bio a cutting-edge tale of resisting bias religious and racial
By Dwight Hobbes
Contributing Writer
Unequivocally a singular success, Congressional Rep. Keith Ellison is one of the more fascinating figures in contemporary politics — indeed, an unprecedented, historic presence. Anyone who doesn't believe he's capable of becoming the second Black president of these United States needs merely consider this: How likely was it that with the country still rankling from 9/11, he accomplished a virtually unthinkable feat — becoming the first Muslim elected to Congress? My Country 'Tis of Thee: My Faith, My Family, Our Future (Gallery Books/Karen Hunter Publishing, $25) is a newly published memoir cum biography and, whether you admire or abhor his consistently controversial stands on hot-button issues — for instance, the proposed mosque at ground zero, downtown Manhattan site of Al-Kaida's 2001 terrorist attack on America — the book is a significant, definitively informing work that belongs in the library of every American — Black, White, Brown, Muslim, Protestant, Catholic, whatever — who wishes to know what he or she is talking about when they discuss the consequence of Keith Ellison. It should surprise no one that a significant amount of the material here concerns itself with Ellison's devotion to his religion. Along with being the first Muslim to hold his office, he historically is strongly vocal about Muslim Americans getting a fair shake in society. Continue Reading →

Glasses and shades
Fashion trends may change from time to time, but your personal style shall always remain confined to your preferences. A stylish pair of denims matched up with a smart tank top and classy boots would still give an incomplete look. All you need is an extremely chic pair of glasses that would suit your face structure. The fashion trends of edgy glasses are not confined to just wayfarers or aviators, even geek reading glasses look great on many people. In fact, most people choose nerd glasses over the conventional sunglasses with reflecting surfaces.
The best way to revamp the look of your overall personality is by selecting different frames in different colors and prints to create a contrasting effect with your apparels. Color pop is the latest fashion fad that seems to be ruling on the covers of various fashion magazines. Bright yellow frames with cool blue tinged glasses or the classic vintage style wayfarers in brown wooden appearance both seem to be the most popular styles of eyewear. With a huge variety of smart accessories for the eyes, one may seem to find himself in a dilemma, but when these elegant spectacles are available at great competitive and attractive rates, they aren't supposed to be ignored. Retro inspired round-frames are also extremely hot this summer and look good on almost everyone. Bay shades or extra large frames in animal prints can look extremely modish and trendy with almost every color.

Technically, I've missed the mid-year mark but here's a list of my picks for recommended film viewing. I'm sure other titles will end up on the year-end tally (I suspect P.T. Anderson's The Master will be my number one) but here's a start.
Beasts of the Southern Wild
In no way deserving of the hype that this buzzed about indie has received but certainly warrants watching. A five year old protagonist's cute face and acting chops can't save this picture's flaws but many will find its story uplifting and moving.
Damsels in Distress
Indie darling and pre-Wes Anderson autuer of the twee aristrocracy, Whit Stillman returns with a film that will no doubt divide audiences along love/hate lines.
The Turin Horse
Bleak, hopeless, painfully unfolded end of the world fair shot in a sumptuous black and white that will appeal to the existentialist-leaning devotees of Bresson, Bergman and Tarkovsky. No Michael Bay stuff here.
The Deep Blue Sea
A somber story of heartache and loss expressed through the fine acting of British actress Rachel Weisz.
Gerhard Richter Painting
A straight forward documentary that will likely appeal to those familiar with the world's most famous living painter's role in the shaping of post-war art.

Three urban school boards were honored at NSBA's Council of Urban Boards of Education (CUBE) annual meeting in New Orleans on Saturday. Texas' Mesquite Independent School District took top honors as the winner of the 2011 Annual Award for Urban School Board Excellence. Boston Public Schools and Nevada's Washoe County Public Schools were named as finalists.
Mesquite Board President Kevin Carbo, board members Christina Hall and Cary Tanamachi, and Superintendent Linda Henrie accepted the award.
"We are very proud of our district's accomplishments," said Carbo. "This award is not just for the Board of Trustees, but for everyone in the district-from the administrators to the teachers to the auxiliary employees who day in and day out give our children their maximum effort."
Henrie accepted the award on behalf of all of those across the country who are dedicated to public education. "This honor affirms that public education works and works well," she said.
"This is just one more step in the right direction," Carbo added. "We have more work to do, and CUBE just gave us a little more incentive to continue working toward a better future for our kids."
The award recognizes excellence in school board governance, building civic capacity, closing the achievement gap (equity in education), and demonstrated success of academic excellence.
A 37,000-student school system located less than 20 miles east of Dallas, Mesquite has systematically made gains in student achievement and significantly closed achievement gaps while successfully rallying community support around the schools.
Eighty-four percent of students tested proficient in math in 2010, up from 67 percent in 2004. The percentage proficient in science grew from 52 percent in 2004 to 82 percent in 2010. Reading test scores rose from 82 percent to 91 percent proficient during the same time period, while social studies scores went from 86 percent to 95 percent passing.
While all subgroups showed improvement, minority students enjoyed particular gains, and the test score gaps between white and minority students closed significantly in all subject areas.
For more information on the winning district and the finalists, go here.
Also at the CUBE meeting, Arizona school board member Eva Carillo Dong was honored with the 2011 Benjamin Elijah Mays Lifetime Achievement Award. Dong has been a member of the Sunnyside Unified School District Governing Board since 1999.
She was honored for her long-time dedication to the community and her strong belief that education can improve life for children in Sunnyside Unified, which serves more than 17,000 students.
President of the Sunnyside board three times in her 12 years of service, Dong has helped the district gain state and national attention for its innovative programs and initiatives to increase student achievement, reduce the dropout rate, and increase community engagement.
The Benjamin Elijah Mays Lifetime Achievement Award is given to individuals who demonstrate a long-standing commitment to the educational needs of urban schoolchildren through school board service. Benjamin Elijah Mays, whom the award honors, was a teacher, minister, author, and civil rights activist who served as president of Morehouse College and the Atlanta school board from 1970 to 1981.

May 6, 2016
RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) -- A North Carolina legislative panel has recommended creating a new state board that would oversee the state's rapidly expanding pool of charter schools.
The Senate Education Committee voted Wednesday for an 11-member North Carolina Public Charter Schools Board independent from the State Board of Education. The new board would approve charter school applications or revoke charters and set other rules for these types of public schools.
The state school board could veto charter board actions within 45 days if three-quarters of the state board oppose it.
The General Assembly eliminated a longstanding cap of 100 charter schools statewide in 2011. The State Board of Education approved the opening of 25 new charter schools next fall.
The measure now goes to the Senate's budget-writing committee.

Personalized Christmas Ornament$15.95
The simple design of the Israeli flag is a blue Star of David in the center of a white field sandwiched between two horizontal blue stripes. The mainly white field represents innocence, peace, light and honesty while the blue symbolizes trust, intelligence, faith, truth, heaven, wisdom, confidence and loyalty. The flag of Israel was adopted in 1948 with the shield of David star symbol being widely used in medieval Prague. This personalized Israel flag ornament is a great gift for your Jewish friends who celebrate Hanukkah or a keepsake from a religious pilgrimage to Israel. You will love the high quality of this Polish glass ornament!

Pelicans are turning up dead in the Pamlico River and officials say the culprit is commercial fishing nets.
While the Division of Marine Fisheries says those nets are set legally, some people are taking matters into their own hands.
Recreational fishermen like John Miles says commercial fishermen set nets to catch fish, but they're also catching birds. He says on Monday he saw three pelicans stuck in a net and went to cut them loose. Only two survived.
According to Marine Fisheries, the nets are set legally, and it's actually against the law for anyone to cut another fisherman's net.
Miles says, "If the bird is in there, I'm going to cut it out. I'm not going to sit there and let the bird die."
Marine fisheries says fisherman are required to check their nets everyday and are limited to the amount of large mesh gill nets, like the one that trapped the pelicans, that they can set.

It's never too early to get them started on the right track. Star Wars is one of the most important film franchises in history, so dressing your little girl up in the Infant / Toddler Princess Leia Costume is definitely a good call to get her started as a fan. This adorable little costume features a white robe like the one Leia wears in the original Star Wars trilogy, a brown headpiece with round hair buns on the sides, and a white belt with printed silver shapes on it. This is the look that Leia is famously first seen in as her ship is being attacked by the evil Darth Vader. I don't think your daughter will be endangered by any Sith Lords, but you might want to keep an eye on her just in case.

Jack Dangermond talks about the ArcGIS system and summarizes the major updates and enhancements in the ArcGIS 10.1 release. He also talks about Esri's acquisition of Swiss 3D software company Procedural and introduces the ArcGIS for Home Use program.
Jul 11th, 2011
Right-click on these links to download and save this video.
00:01I'd like to next move on and change subjects there for a moment, and we'll come back to this idea in about 10 minutes...
00:10...and talk a bit about our work.
00:12Our work is actually in service to you and, by the way, I want to thank you for the privilege...
00:19...that we have on behalf of my colleagues to work for you.
00:22This is, our work is about supporting your work, and the relationship that we have together is very important...
00:28...being able to be critical of our steps and directions is part of what this conference is about.
00:36Fundamentally, our work is about ArcGIS; that's where we focus most of our attention...
00:42...which we define as a complete system for geographic information.
00:46It has clients. Web clients; mobile clients; desktop clients; servers; enterprise servers; and increasingly...
00:53...clients in the cloud and a new dimension called ArcGIS Online.
00:59ArcGIS supports multiple patterns for implementation. The desktop, which clearly is the largest pattern of over a million users...
01:08...and the server pattern, which is coming along rather rapidly with at least a hundred thousand of these implemented...
01:14...with thin-client access to shared infrastructure.
01:18The third pattern, the web cloud pattern, is also beginning to emerge strongly.
01:25These three patterns can be deployed independently, or they can be deployed as an integrated system...
01:32...and it is both of those missions that we work on.
01:39[ArcGIS] 10.1, which will be coming out first quarter next year, is advancing our basic platform a lot.
01:48It's introducing a lot of new capabilities.
01:51Most of them are ones that you specifically asked for, and then there's some other ones that are going to be new...
01:57...and a few of them are what I would call game changers.
02:01They're really very exciting.
02:03We're going to release the beta for this in about two or three weeks.
02:07We had hoped to do it for this conference, but you know software.
02:11It's not quite, it's hard to do, to predict a time, but we'll get there by the end of the month, we think.
02:19In addition to all this new feature functionality, we're also very diligent on improving quality and...
02:26...performance and making the product more usable.
02:32At 10.1, we're growing rather radically the amount of basemap and content information that's part of this system.
02:41New Landsat services for the planet for the last 40 years are there.
02:45We're adding about 50 million square kilometers of GeoEye imagery.
02:50We're adding a new basemap for the oceans.
02:52In collaboration with you, we now have over a thousand partners building this topographic map for the world...
02:58...a kind of authoritative source way of building, crowdsourcing maps; and some other ones...
03:06...like the National Geographic and NAVTEQ's street and geocoding service for the world.
03:13In the tools area, 10.1 will introduce some what I would call game changers in geographic science.
03:21These are new tools that will help us predict or describe things, things like space-time clustering or group analysis...
03:29...statistical tools that allow us to do, for example, multiscale autocorrelation so we can understand...
03:35...what scale we ought to do autocorrelation analysis with.
03:40My favorite is exploratory regression, which is not something that's so visual, but it basically takes one variable...
03:48...and allows us to explore multiple other variables' relationships to it.
03:53Take, for example, disease, what are the explanatory variables that correlate with it, or crime or soil erosion?
04:00This will unlock some of the secrets of our field.
04:04And then there's other things like empirical Bayesian kriging, which is sophisticated contouring done simply.
04:13Another great one is very fast time analysis, location-allocation tools...
04:18...so you can see by this how very fast those computations are becoming.
04:23Areal interpolation allows us to take one areal unit like blocks, the data in them, and interpolate them...
04:32...or allocate them into another areal unit, like ZIP Codes, that doesn't have a geometric relationship, accurately.
04:40And then there's geodetic buffering, something that many of you asked for, for years.
04:45All of these are little instruments that will unlock some of the mysteries of geography in a more effective way.
04:54We're making advancing in mapping and editing workflows.
04:58One of the highest-ranked, voted-for tools was dynamic legends, so as I scale a map, the legends change.
05:07You're supposed to say "Yay! Yay!" Okay, all right.
05:12Or feature edit tracking, that means, if somebody edits a feature, I remember their name, a kind of feature-level metadata.
05:24Yay! That's another one, right?
05:27And then, a new suite of generalization tools, rule-based generalization, so that I can generalize lines and thematic areas very beautifully.
05:38And then other things like better labeling, improved template editing, and better temporal support.
05:46At 10.1, we are improving database management.
05:50Again, one of those that you've asked for, for years is to have direct SQL access to all the popular databases.
05:57This is not just for tabular data but also for spatial data, so simple features stored. Yeah, you like that, too.
06:06And we're adding support for IBM's new Netezza database management system in that same suite.
06:14We're adding administration tools for the geodatabase at 10.1 and dynamic schema updates.
06:23And a few months ago, we opened up the geodatabase at the file level with open APIs.
06:28All these make data management and access simpler, and then there's more coming in a moment.
06:36[ArcGIS] 10.1 improves image integration and provides new exploitation tools by having very fast, very scalable, dynamic mosaicking.
06:47This means, from a laptop I can view 1 image nicely or 10 images nicely without preprocessing them...
06:55...or a hundred images nicely in a dynamic mosaic or a thousand images or a hundred thousand images...
07:02...or a million images, and pan and zoom with dynamic visualization.
07:07We're also adding automatic enhancement, so I put an image in, it reads the image parameters, and it just is a beautiful image.
07:15We're also adding three-dimensional measurement.
07:19So I can look at shadows and it looks at the parameters of the image file and gives us mensuration in your standard desktop.
07:29Also we're integrating, for persistent surveillance fans, video, so I can take video from drones or from blimps...
07:38...or from aircraft and associate it with the other parts of GIS.
07:43All of these simplify and integrate working with imagery.
07:54At 10.1, we're adding huge support to lidar, being able to read dynamically using the same image mosaicking tools, LAS files.
08:06That means, I mean, LAS is, lidar is expensive to take, and it's done at many different resolutions.
08:12We've basically taken the same technology that we used for dynamic imagery; integrated it so that we can do dynamic...
08:19...on-the-fly viewing of LAS files as rasters and as TINs and as point clouds. 00:08:27
08:31This is big, actually.
08:33A lot of you have lidar data laying around.
08:35You don't know how to integrate it and put it together.
08:38This is just going to open it up and make it useful information products.
08:49At 10.1, we're expanding ArcGIS as a 3D platform, adding performance for 3D, 3D geometric buffering...
09:00...things like shade analysis, shadow analysis, 3D viewsheds, and 3D editing. 00:09:06
09:12...facility management things, landscape planning. It's superb.
09:18Okay. This year, we're doing something dramatic, and I'm about to make an announcement.
09:25We're acquiring a company, a world-renowned company in Switzerland who does content creation.
09:32It's a company called Procedural.
09:34These are a really great group of Swiss software engineers, and they do all of those beautiful little pictures that you see on the right.
09:43They were contributors for the cityscapes in Cars 2. I know all of you have seen that movie already.
09:52But they also just create beautiful VisSim environments.
09:58This is something, again, you've asked us to develop ourselves.
10:01We're doing it through this development of a relationship.
10:05Initially, that product's going to be sold independently for people who want to build these 3D contents...
10:10...and then we'll integrate it over time, like we have other technologies into the core...
10:15...so that content creation using rules tools can build this content and then integrate it back into the geodatabase.
10:24We want to do the same thing here that we did with imagery.
10:27We want to make visualization part of GIS, content creation part of GIS, not a separate technology.
10:36And this will take us a year or so as we step into it, and it's going to change the game for integration of GIS...
10:44...and design and these advanced visualization tools.
10:56ArcGIS supports popular mobile devices, ruggedized devices, smartphones, tablets.
11:03We've done our best to try to cover the whole space here with all the popular operating systems, like Windows...
11:09...the Windows Phone, and the Windows Mobile; the Apple stuff with iOS; the Android platform...
11:15...and also ArcPad for high-end data capture.
11:18The notion here is connecting field-workers and citizens...
11:22...for sure with downloadable little mobile devices, applications, or APIs.
11:29But what we're seeing is something rather profound, and that is that users, GIS users...
11:34...are simply taking their little tablet device out in the field with them so that they can access their data directly.
11:44In other words, it's not them versus us, it's becoming us as we become more of a mobile-oriented society.
11:52This is an important trend, and one that I just want to call your attention to that's happening.
11:58At 10.1, we're introducing something entirely new, which is ArcGIS Runtime. 00:12:04
12:14You'll be able to deploy this easily, like on a thumb drive.
12:17It's very fast; it has a small footprint kind of like MapObjects was.
12:22It's Windows and Linux.
12:25It supports native 64-bit but also runs in 32-bit emulation mode and has dev environments for WPF and Java and Qt.
12:34This is going to be a game changer also in terms of embedding GIS both in connected environments and...
12:42...nonconnected environments into all kinds of applications.
12:47ArcGIS Server is improving at 10.1.
12:50We've enhanced the architecture, and we've added some new capabilities.
12:54The architecture has really been rearchitected.
12:57It has faster performance, and it's easier to install.
13:01It's very simple to make services in it.
13:03It's also resting in the full 64-bit environment, which means it's cloud ready, highly scalable...
13:12...and it also will be the first time that we've supported well the Linux operating environment. That's a good one.
13:24On the user side, 10.1 will support web printing directly on demand.
13:30It'll support on-the-fly symbology.
13:33If I create one service, I can view it in different symbology renditions.
13:40It'll continue to improve our standard support for OGC standards, of course...
13:46...also the web standards of REST, JSON, and HTML...
13:49...and it'll introduce two new standards, the tile standard from OGC and the processing standard from OGC.
13:58These will continue our trend to keep our platform strongly open and interoperable with other technologies.
14:06We're also improving the APIs and the web apps at 10[.1].
14:10The web applications are becoming increasingly important, as some of you know, and we have a family of them.
14:17The Flex and Silverlight and JavaScript environments and Explorer environments have resulted in...
14:25...millions of maps being made as these little examples here show on the right.
14:29At 10.1, we're rather dramatically enhancing our support for SharePoint, an enterprise system in many of your organizations.
14:40It'll mean that SharePoint users can actually make a map inside the SharePoint environment very easily...
14:45...and we'll see that later this morning.
14:48All of these apps are really easy to configure, and they'll get even easier, as you'll see also later.
14:57Okay, this is my favorite for this morning.
15:00This is about sharing your work, maps, data, tools, and models.
15:08If I'm in a desktop at 10.1, I can right-click; my map will be automatically turned into a map package.
15:17You'll say, Oh, we can do that at 10. Okay.
15:21If I'm in ArcMap and I have a model, analytics, tradecraft, I can right-click and automatically turn it into a model package...
15:31...and I can send these over to the server and other people can find them, download them, use them themselves.
15:39That's nice, isn't it? That's nice.
15:45But also I can right-click, and I can send it over to a server and it'll turn it into a service, a map service, a model service, a tool service.
15:57That's nice, isn't it?
16:03I can also right-click and send it over to the cloud and have it turned into a service automatically if I don't have my own server...
16:12...and it'll be administered there.
16:14That's supposed to be, Yes! That's what we wanted!
16:20Well, at least it gets me excited. All right.
16:25I've covered a lot of 10.1.
16:27We'll look [at] a lot of it after the break this morning.
16:30It's going to fundamentally improve the 10.0 platform.
16:34It has, as I mentioned, lots of things.
16:36We'll have it as beta in a few weeks and I invite, once again, all of you to take advantage of this.
16:43This summer, we also announced ArcGIS for Home Use.
16:47This is a program for you being able to get the full desktop and extensions for your own personal use...
16:54...for your own personal development, and also your own volunteerism.
17:08That's, I think it's going be very exciting, it's going to be a way for us to spread what we do.

CANTON -- Art Modell can be called by many names, but here's a new one: finalist for the Class of 2013 Pro Football Hall of Fame.
While his Baltimore Ravens head to the Super Bowl this weekend, there are still three years without football that Cleveland fans will never forget.
"You know to not have a team for three years, hurt a lot of people," said John Shaheen.
The three black marks from 1996, 1997, 1998, scarred Art Modell's legacy in Northeast Ohio.
"Art Modell should not ever be in the hall of fame, not ever. He screwed it up, for himself," said Victoria Gordon.
Months after his death, could this be the year his fingerprints on Monday Night Football and other accomplishments finally land him in the Pro Football Hall of Fame?
At Jerzee's Sports Grille, just steps from the hall, it's hard to tell.
"I'm sad for his family, but I don't think that should give him any extra points as far as getting in the Hall of Fame," said Marc Lally.
"During my career, I had little respect for Art Modell," said Don Cockroft.
Unlike many fans, storied kicker Cockroft's look back at the 1980's Kardiac Kids has changed his mind. During the four years he spent writing about the team and its owner, he revisited his relationship with Modell frequently.
"Art Modell was really just a glorified fan. If you won, he loved you, if you lost, he didn't," said Cockroft.
"That's what I experienced during my NFL career with the Cleveland Browns. If I made that game winning field goal, the man was in the shower, hugging me, saying thank you, thank you. If I missed a couple kicks, it was a glare, it was a stare."
Modell's love for the game, and his league think mentality brought football into American homes on television. But it took a team away from Cleveland.
"As much as he's done with Monday Night Football and everything, even though he did move the Browns, it was a business decision. I'm not happy with the way Paul Brown went, but I'm not knowledgeable as [Modell] is," said Gary Thompson.
"My own experience with Art prompted in my heart and my mind, we got to forgive. Right or wrong, we got to forgive," said Cockroft.
Forgiveness could still be coming, if not this year.
While he's been nominated in the past, this year is the first time Modell's been a finalist.
But he'll have to get 80 percent of the 46 person vote to get in. Cleveland's media representative, Tony Grossi, says he will vote against Modell.
The 2013 Class will be decided Saturday evening in New Orleans.

From Jaffna, an Exclusive: Damaged ancient city survives and recovers
Now almost three years since the end of the war, Colombo is shedding its image as Sri Lanka's charming but dilapidated capital. Bursting with new energy and growth, major investments and physical improvements are evident throughout the city. But in the North and East and bordering regions, decades of conflict and economic neglect have left a legacy of distrust and hardship. The government has responded by rebuilding roads, rail, and telecommunications; business owners, citizens, and local leaders want to reconnect and catch up with the rest of the island nation. If armed conflict is to be prevented in the future, the new prosperity must be shared and balanced. Entrepreneurs and local officials hold the keys to growth and peace in these former conflict-affected towns; our staff, with the financial support of the Australian Agency for International Development, is working diligently in Jaffna, Vavuniya, Batticaloa, and 12 other towns to consolidate peace and spark private sector growth by helping local government and business to work together.
