Dr. Trent takes time to talk to you and listen to your concerns. She's a truly caring and qualified doctor.
I am a RN and Dr. Trent is the epitome of professionalism. She is a kind, caring physician who is on top of her game. I would highly recommend her.
My experience at Dr Trents dermatology office was excellent . Making my appointment was simple and the receptionist was polite and knowledgeable. When I arrived at the office, the girls at the front desk were sweet and welcoming. The nurses and other staff were very professional and really know what they are doing. Dr Trent is very good at what she does and I have been to her now for quite a few appointments. She is very thorough and pays attention to every detail. I always look forward to seeing her at my check ups and for cosmetic procedures. You will not be disappointed with her practice.
I have found Dr. Trent to be a fantastic Dermatologist and have been a patient for over 10 years.
Yes, she is competent . . .but don't ask her a question, for she will roll her eyes with an air of superiority. Lousy bedside manner.
Great doctor and great office. Monica, Pam & Jessica were all great and helpful. Got me in the same day at 6pm after work.
I believe Dr. Trent saved my life after I was misdiagnosed by other doctor.
The office is dirty and disgusting and it smells. I saw trash and charts all over the floors . Gross for a dermatogist office. Barbara was a great nurse and took her time with me. Monica helped me get a quick appt. however Sylvia was very rude and unprofessional and refused to help me with insurance. When I asked to see her after my appointment she refused to talk to me.
Dr. Trent is an excellent Physician but I have discontinued using her for the following reasons. 1. I booked an appointment several months in advance for my daughter to be examined. She drove in from Miami for this appointment and was planning to be in Sarasota for several days. the night prior to her appointment I was contacted by the office to tell me that the Doctor had an emergency and could not see my daughter the next day. When I tried to reschedule for another day, I was told that De. Trent was fully booked for the entire time my daughter was in town, and no exceptions would be made. No attempt was ever made by them to contact me to reschedule in the future. 2. Yesterday, I was called at 4:30 PM to cancel my own appointment for today at 3:30. I was told the Doctor had another emergency. I live in town, so I asked the person if I could just reschedule. I was told she doesn't handle rescheduling, only cancelling, I still have not had a call from the office to reschedule. I have chosen to change Doctors to someone who is more reliable and has a staff that is more responsible. And still, she is ALWAYS advertising for more patients instead of trying to retain the patients she already has! I am very disappointed!
Dr Trent was wonderful and very through. I was given an appt. very quickly with Monica and Pam was very helpful with my insurance. A great office.
Dr. Trent is the most thorough derm. I've ever been to. She may not be real chatty but she sure takes her time looking your body (including scalp) over. She even uses a magnifying glass. I feel confident with her.
Over the years, I have gotten to know a number of MDs personally, and Dr. Trent would be in the top echelon of those that I have a medical appointment. She was outgoing, conscientous, and I got the felling that she was interested in my medical wellbeing.
Every time I have had to talk to her staff, I have left feeling that they were rude and uncaring. While speaking to Pam, I could feel the disdain dripping through her smile as she talked. They think that everyone is retired and only lives 2 miles away, so when they call you and ask you to come in for a reschedule, they act mad because you can't drop what you are doing and get there; they were the ones cancelling the appointment on top of it. Then when you try to make an apt, it takes 6 months to see the doctor. God forbid if you are running late, you are better off just not showing up. Then when you actually do see the doctor, she barely says two words and acts like it is a bother to look at something that you are concerned with. If the doctor doesn't run people off, her staff definitely will. They are in desperate need of some customer service courses and flexibility.
She doesnt care about anything but her self! You tell her your problem and she scolds you like a child! Biopsy queen! She will check your insurance to see what you have before she checks you skin!
My husband and I both went to see Dr. Trent and her bedside manner was horrible! She then told my husband he needed to apply this cream to his face which he looked like a burn victim it was horrible. After this whole ordeal his skin is horrible! She then proceeded to cut every supicious area on his body by the time he was done he looked like he went through a war zone. We never went back!
She was very rushed and rude. I went in for a small rash that was almost completely healed by the time I went in and she still did two biopsies. The rudest Dr I have ever been to.
Rude crude and needs a tan!
I think she's a good at diagnosing and treating skin problems, but she seems to harbor thinly veiled disdain for her patients. And her receptionist is obnoxious, acts like she's running a boot camp instead of providing patient services.
I saw the doctor for a routine exam.She was very rushed and I felt she justwanted to find something she could removequickly in the office. I saw the doctor for a routine exam whenshe was at Center for Sight. She was very rushed with poor bedside manner.A very small mole was removed which healed poorly. I felt she just rmovedit for her own financial gain. The staffwas not helful when I called back inregards to the poor healing.
I find Dr Trent and staff delightful, very caring and competent.
The office staff is extremely courteous as they must be in order to difuse her obnoxious manner. The worst doctor I have ever been to.
In-network for my plan, but sends diagnotics out-of-network costing me big $
Dr. Trent performed facial surgery on me in the AM and personally called me that evening to find out how I was doing. She provided me with a scar-free recovery.
Was worried more about my tan than helping me get better. Everytime I go there she is always cutting on me.
It took too long to get an appt. Then when I did I waited 45 minutes naked for her to check my skin. Then every time I go there she always finds somet ...

The outdoor areas become my expansion space. I need a view. The tangle of branches and the active wildlife that we share our corner of this oak forest with let my eyes wander while I'm on calls and help me think more creatively and clearly. Getting outside is important, too. Whether on the phone, writing, or thinking something through, our north facing deck just outside the upstairs office is usually in the shade (which cuts down on the laptop glare) and I can work from there while watching my husband and daughter do their own work. One thing I would love to add to my work space? The expansive chalkboards that I love from Maison Martin Margiela's Paris studio.

A persuasive essay can be of writing that explains a particular perspective and provides research meant for that viewpoint a piece. The judgement of the powerful essay might be depending on emotion rather than substantiated proof though just like an argumentative composition, and it does not have to get the counter argument into consideration. Whether you're currently publishing an essay to get a composition category, or you're mailing a paper editor a letter, having a carefully-crafted debate with strong research will make your publishing more persuasive and powerful. Advertising Measures Part 1 of 3: Brainstorming and Detailing Your Article Establish and narrow your topic. The topic of your article could be fixed if, like, you're publishing this dissertation to get a school. Should you be, nonetheless, creating a newspaper content or perhaps a correspondence you could have a far more variable topic around which you can publish. Try to narrow your matter so that you are currently talking about something fairly certain. For example, in case you are currently currently talking about the prison program within the U.S., you will uncover it is a subject that is huge.
Practice pulling and planning sample alphabets that are many.
Thin that topic to focus using one part of the subject, like the rates of literacy or the treatment of aged inmates among inmates. Advertising Establish your angle. Now that you've a concentrated topic, about what you need to express about your topic you can start to think. Why do you feel clearly relating to this matter? What's your solution to concern or this problem? Here is its overall disagreement, or the start of the thesis that is essays. Documents that are influential appeal to the readers feeling; think about the most mental angles of your matter. Simply because they might contribute ideas you hadnt regarded brainstorming ideas with someone could be valuable or they might grow around the tips you have.
These details can assist like a format to produce an exec summary of the strategic program.
For instance, if you're currently authoring treating factory farmed pigs, your direction might be as it is inhumane that this treatment must be forbidden. For supporting research, brainstorm suggestions. Write a summary of different factors down you could offer for supporting your thesis statement. Some of those factors may be absurd, but write along them anyway. There might be a kernel of reality in them that you could review later on. These motives might be seated in emotion and appeal like, to the readers impression of meaningful responsibility or integrity. Research to get a powerful article does not automatically need to be rooted in data that is substantiated.
This really is where the true work begins.
4 Choose the 3-5 illustrations that are best. You will probably unable to reveal every single case of evidence that you simply locate; instead, pick the best, evidence that is most convincing. Write a tough draft of the statement. Your thesis statement, or even the total argument you want to recommend within your composition, comes from the angle-you are dealing with your specific topic. Composing the thesis statement should answer the « what » and the « how » of your disagreement. The « what » will be the subject itself along with the « how » could be the direction. As an example, your thesis declaration on inhumane treatment of animals may examine: » illness can be distribute by their living circumstances, as well as Manufacturer farming of pigs should really be prohibited because it is harsh treatment of animals and ruin the individual food source. » Your statement may change while you work through your paper.
Just like any of the performing arts, a powerful voiceover starts with a well-designed software.
Why it's still a tough draft at this time, this is. Create a plan for the document. An overview can help structure your paper and manage your ideas. An outline may be designated with Roman numerals (I, two, III, IV, etc.), typical figures, or round items. Use brief sentences and phrases to place your suggestions in writing. Utilize a basic five-paragraph construction for your report, with one paragraph for the introduction, three paragraphs for three details of proof, and something paragraph for your finish. Your report could need to be longer than this, nevertheless, particularly if you're currently composing a persuasive study composition that will require more info to give history to your matter.
In addition, they must have two years of the financial statements.
Advertising Part 2 of 3: Creating Your Release Start your document having a « hook. » There is really a catch a device that « hooks » your audience, pulling them in to the paper and producing them need to read more. This is often a issue or statement, a startling statistic, a quotation, or even a very brief anecdote. You filter towards your dissertation statement and might start off with the big-picture, or you could do the other and start really small and zoom out to your statement. A good example could be: « America includes a 25 percent bigger prison populace than China, providing the U.S. the toughest jail history while in the planet. » Publish confidently and briefly. a stay is being taken by you along with your composition, irrespective of its function. Produce statements that are confident and aggressive, and dont overstate additional terms where less words will continue to work.
Last comes proofreading which can be fairly self explanatory.
Give them the sensation that you're a on the subject and you want to lure viewers with this particular initial passage. Persuasive documents are most reliable if they blend actuality to convince the viewer and impression together the writers viewpoint will be the « right » viewpoint. Stay away from preliminary phrases that are vulnerable. There are certainly a few different types of introductions that are frequently used, nevertheless they often detract from your push of your debate by including unnecessary info, or by being extensive, too obscure, or uncertain. Several of those introductions may be: The book definition: when you may try and set up a definition of the word like « captivity » to hinge on your paper, it is of launching a subject, a less successful means. A typical example of this type of introduction might be: « Websters Glossary becomes captivity as the state of being fully a servant, as the exercise of possessing slaves, so that as an ailment of work and subjection. » the wide introduction, or even the « Beginning of Man » introduction: Powerful documents are created to provide an answer to a given problem, but linking it to larger individual living in wide strokes can often be an ineffective technique. A good example could be: » People have slain and consumed pets considering that the beginning of time. » The guide document information: should you be writing a convincing article about a novel, for instance, you could be tempted to fill with information in regards to the book itself, such as the entire title year of distribution and so on in your release. These records is normally not highly relevant to your dissertation record and may be removed, unless you are referencing several of those details to get a particular goal. An illustration could be: » Douglass composed his autobiography, Story of the Life of Douglass, An American Slave, within the 1840s.
Decide the topic of the article.
It had been published in 1986 by Penguin Books. In it, he tells his life's tale. » 10 Write your statement. Your statement, that you simply have previously written, may argue your position and gives the audience indicators as to the way you can argue your position. You may want there inside your dissertation declaration and to improve afew phrases here to generate it movement better in your launch. When your format was drafted by you it may have also altered fairly. 11 Once you have published the others of one's dissertation review this launch. As you write your report, you could possibly produce additional wrinkles of thinking or choose that one data should be cast out. This could shift the target of the document. Thesis declaration and your introduction may need to be modified centered on these alterations in the relaxation of the document.
(einstein tried to get around it with distorted area and all of this insanity).
Ad Part 3 of 3 Your Essay's Others Create your disagreement. Utilize your best samples of research to aid statement and your introduction. Follow the format which you created so you stick to track. While you ought to paraphrase many data so you are composing is likely to terms, give real instances. Use one paragraph for each little bit of evidence (if you should be utilising the five-paragraph composition design). Be sure that your statement is specifically supported by your data. Revisit your format, if you start to log off monitor. Incorporate transitions. Between each section, you will require sentences that wrap them together so they read logically.
It is a one time effort to savor genuine critique service till some time you want.
Usually, your article may appear just like a flow of lines that are unconnected. Transitions help the viewer comprehend the info that youre authoring and support your discussion is followed by them. Publish the conclusion. Restate your thesis statement you've used-to help your statement. Your finish must do a lot more than simply just review your paper. Think of an innovative and original stage you can make that ties your document together. Avoid fuzzy, overarching promises that dont claim much. Strive to compose something purposeful yet brief and particular.
Professionals are usually taking care of strategy or some undertaking.
Revise and revise your report. After you have completed your first-draft, take a bust, and read through the entire document.

Erie SeaWolves win 2nd game in a row
The Erie SeaWolves have climbed back into the division race.
Erie moved to within 21/2 games of Harrisburg, which will come to Jerry Uht Park on Monday, with a 5-2 win over the Richmond Flying Squirrels Saturday in front of 4,748 fans.
"It's a big series and you want to beat everybody but it just so happens we are playing Richmond right now," Erie manager Chris Cron said. "We're beating the team we are battling with in the standings and there's still a long way to go. It's nice to get a couple wins in a row and it'd be great to get another one to close out the series."
Erie (41-38) and Richmond (39-41) wrap up a four-game set this afternoon at 1:35 p.m.
The SeaWolves led 5-2 in the top of the ninth inning but new closer Melvin Mercedes made things interesting.
Of the first three batters he faced, Mercedes walked two and hit Travious Relaford with a pitch to load the bases. Mercedes settled down to get Ehire Adrianza and Adam Duvall to pop out before striking out Mark Minicozzi to end the game. Minicozzi was 4-for-4 before his final at-bat.
"The best thing about that situation is that he needs to experience it," Cron said about Mercedes. "You can't draw that up in the bullpen. It was an experience that is a big part of his development and got through it with flying colors. He's a guy that's got some ability and we are going to try and keep it going in the right direction."
Mercedes recorded his first save with Erie in three appearances. It was his first save opportunity in Double-A.
Mercedes' scoreless inning was part of another terrific effort by the Erie pitching staff. Patrick Cooper recovered from a Javier Herrera home run on the second pitch of the game to throw four solid innings. He was pulled after four because his pitch count was at 68.
"Cooper is still on a short leash with his pitch count coming back from an injury," Cron said.
Cooper left with the game tied 1-1 and handed it over to David Kopp, who threw three scoreless innings. Kopp earned his first win and has allowed one run in 71/3 innings since coming off the disabled list.
Erie tied the game at 1-1 in the bottom of the third inning on an RBI single by Marcus Lemon before the SeaWolves rallied for four runs in the fifth. Jamie Johnson had an RBI single with the bases loaded before Eugenio Suarez drew a walk to drive in a run and make it 3-1. Hernan Perez followed with a two-run single to help Erie secure its second win in a row.
The SeaWolves' clutch hitting and solid pitching were bolstered by a tremendous defensive effort. Several diving stops were made and a double play in the eighth inning to halt Richmond's momentum.
"It's amazing when every ball that is within diving distance, we have a chance to make a play on it," Cron said."(Wade) Gaynor has been playing his butt off at third, we have two solid guys up the middle and Robbie (James Robbins) has been playing well at first. The outfield has always been solid as well. The defense has to be there every day and they did a great job."

The Committee on the Rights of the Child recently reviewed the UK's position on implementing the articles and protocols of the Convention on the Rights of the Child. They made a number of recommendations relating to the armed forces recruitment of under-18s and the military's activities in schools.

Rethinking Security: a discussion paper
How do we best build long-term security for people in the UK and worldwide?
March 2016
Published by Child Soldiers International, this short and accessible booklet addresses questions often raised about under-18s in the armed forces, presenting the facts - based on extensive research - rather than the fiction. Also contains very useful quotes and statistics. Great when talking to your MP or for those thinking of enlisting!
Despite this widespread unease about the policy of recruiting 16 and 17 years olds into the armed forces, a number of common misconceptions still lead many under-18s to leave their education early and enlist. This booklet examines these 'myths' in light of the evidence available.
'The fact that the British armed forces continue to recruit from the age of 16 sets a poor example internationally and impedes global efforts to end the use of child soldiers. The Army surely does not need to make youngsters sign up formally at such a young age – there have to be other, better ways to meet our requirements whilst respecting our human rights obligations.'
Major General (retd) Tim Cross CBE

'Commonsense and Understanding': Recommendations from the Defence Committee's Duty of Care report that are still outstanding 10 years on
December 2015
This report highlights seven recommendations from the Defence Committee's report Duty of Care: Third Report of Session 2004-05 which have not been partially or fully implemented, and around which substantial concerns remain.
This report goes on to present additional evidence and arguments about the experience of the youngest recruits including lower educationlal standards within the armed forces; evidence that the youngest recruits are subject to higher physical and mental health risks, than older recruits, and have poorer long-term outcomes; and, understanding that adolescence is a period of on-going maturation and vulnerability.
This report then discusses the concept of 'in loco parentis' and 'moral obligation' with regard to the army's duty of care towards young recruits, noting that the Defence Committee were concerned in 2005 that the MoD distinguished too rigidly between legal and moral obligations, with the latter as less important.
In 2005, the Defence Committee discussed the lack of balance beween training needs and considerations for operational effectiveness, and thus made its recommendations. Ten years on, it is apparent that operational arguments, and current difficulties meeting recruiting targets, continue to prevent the armed forces from reviewing both their position on enlisting under-18s, and their recruitment practices and materials.
Raising the age of recruitment would prioritise the best interest of young people recruited in the armed forces, who would benefit from recruits who are more mature and do not need additional duty of care requirments.

Alternative report to the United Nations Committee on the Rights of the Child on the Occasion of the UK's fifth periodic review report
This report highlights that peace education is not being promoted in schools. This is counter to the recommendations made by the United Nations Committee on the Rights of the Child to the UK Government that peace education should be part of the curriculum.
This raises concerns particularly with the increased promotion of the military within schools through the Department for Education's 'military ethos' programme and free military-related learning resources, and as the armed forces continue to conduct a substantial 'youth engagement' programme.
This report focuses on:

Motion Sensor Evolution
Nintendo has purposely stylized their new controller after one of the most common household devices. Remotes these days have almost hundreds of buttons, but your mom isn't afraid to pick it up and use it, and chances are your grandma isn't either. "To expand the population we had to design a controller that could sit on the living room table and look relevant to them. So we made it compact. Also, just like a TV remote, it can be manipulated for one hand. The hurdle for nongamers must be significantly lowered," said Iwata during his keynote.
Right there is the fundamental inspiration for much of Revolution's controller, but getting to this point in the videogame realm hasn't been one inspirational leap on the part of Iwata and Miyamoto. A number of companies started manipulating traditional videogame interfaces during the NES era, most famously through the ill-fated Power Glove from Mattell.
Popularized into the mainstream conscience thanks to its appearance in the film The Wizard, the Power Glove could detect both roll movements via the hand and a player's individual finger movements, for up to 16 combinations. Unfortunately for Mattell, the Power Glove cost $100, was uncomfortable to use and was supported by a grand total of one game (Super Glove Ball). Granted, there was a traditional NES D-pad with turbo button adjustments on its side, but it was hardly the most practical way to play.
You've probably heard of (or seen) arcade machines with virtual rings where players can mimic fighting game movements, which are then mirrored by on-screen characters. Sega attempted a similar concept for the Genesis long before arcades caught on with a peripheral called the Activator. Sega's 16-bit accessory was comprised of an octagonal ring gamers placed on the ground, stepped inside of and then went appropriately nuts. It didn't really detect your movements, exactly; the eight sensors instead corresponded to different controller inputs. The specifics of your actions actually meant very little to the Activator; it was really about gross motor movements.
Though Revolution won't be able to detect full body movement, imagine grabbing hold of two controllers for a next-generation version of Punch Out!! Each controller used individually would control your right or left fist; moving both to the left or right at the same time would shift your character out of the way of your opponent's swings. The idea is similar to what the Activator promised, but would most likely be far more exact (and less cumbersome) in its execution.
There's not enough room to include pictures of all the different attempts at motion sensor peripherals over the years, but the designs for many of them are too hysterical not to share. Did people really think it'd be fun to punch and kick by alone inside the octagonal Activator? Some executive sure thought so, but thankfully gamers didn't.

Voiced by: Akemi OkamuraRisa is 172 cm tall and thin and has light red hair and brown eyesRisa is seen as impulsive and strong-willed, rarely willing to display her softer side. She is a tsundere. She is also very clumsy and apparently talks a lot, usually in not such a good way.It is strongly stated by the other characters that she is very funny for a girl and a fun person to hang out with. At the same time, she also implies she is not cute and girly, the type of girls that are very appreciated in Japan, possibly due to her tall stature. Her favorite artist is Umibozu, her admiration for him going to the point of obsession.Risa is also very fond of video games, always seen in her spare time playing some, especially Virtual Date kinds.Also she seems to like rabbits a lot, having a lot of bunny shaped things.

Risa [Suddenly awakens]: DAMN IT! My summon monsters have been annihilated!
- At the beginning, she's sleeping while standing in the training in row of her school!
- Dogged Nice Girl: She becomes this when she realizes her crush on the lead male Otani. It doesn't help that all of her friends, usually Nobuko and Nakao,are constantly encouraging her on in her pursuit of him.
- An odd mix of this and Tsundere.
- Dude Magnet: Even if she's not that admired for her beauty and is often regarded as no girlfriend material due to her being not "conventionally cute" because of her height and tomboyishness, she has Otani, Haruka and Kohori being attracted to her.

- Insult of Endearment: With Otani. She calls him midget and shrimp. After the Relationship Upgrade , she still occasionally calls him these, though in a considerably softer manner than before.
- Ironic Name: Her last name is Koizumi and means "little spring" in Japanese, and she is taller than any other girl in her school.
"I've been tall ever since I was young. When we line up for morning assembly, I'm always at the end. But I happen to be named "Koizumi". Sorry, it's not "Oizumi" (big spring.)
- This is lampshaded in the first scene.
- Kansai Regional Accent: Everyone speaks this way because the story takes place in Osaka.

- Tomboy with a Girly Streak: She takes high interest in fashion and hair, often wearing her hair in different styles and helping Nobuko with her outfits.
- Tsundere: Type Unsorted, but that is mostly due to the indecisive and hard-to-read behavior of her love interest.

Im also very cute in front of Otani, right?Otani: Gross, gross.Risa: WHY IS THAT GROSS!?
- Unlike her love interest, Risa tries to be dere dere with Otani. The problem is that when she tries, Otani ends saying things like gross or weird and that makes her mood changes of a "dere dere" one to "tsun tsun" in seconds.
- In "Declaration of War! The Dangerous Beauty Burns with Envy!" when Risa points out that Mimi must be depressed because Otani saw her true self, we get this:
- Unrequited Love Switcheroo : With Otani. Played with. Risa falls in love with Otani, but Otani rejected her because he cant see her like more than a friend (because she's taller than him). Finally, Risa gives up with Otani and she has a fangirl crush on Maity-sensei. Otani gets unwillingly jealous of Maity, and finally realizes about his feelings for Risa in a Green-Eyed Epiphany
- Vitriolic Best Buds: With Otani. After they make a "truce" and hook up each other with their love interests (and fail) and after their deal about who gets a boyfriend/girlfriend first, they spend more time together and become close friends (while still fighting.)
- Will They or Won't They?: Will the guy with a height below most average guys (Otani) and the girl who's taller than average (Risa) finally get together?

Also, he displays a happy and care-free attitude,much like his girlfriend.He is quite popular with girls even though he is completely oblivious to Risa's, Seiko's and Mimi's feelings towards him.By the end of the series he follows his dream to become an elementary school teacher,stating he has always liked kids to the point in having some 10-years old as his basketball friends.

- Purposefully invoked by Maity-sensei via his "magic" in order to make Risa happy.
- Green-Eyed Monster: He easily gets jealous (such as when Maity offered Risa to take her home) even though, deep down, he knows he doesn't have to worry since Risa is always going to be in love with him.
- He became insanely jealous when he saw Risa with Kohori. He even told Risa that he'd punch Kohori in the face if Risa was with him again.
- Oh, and let's not forget the chapter from the manga's volume 12 where Risa had to model with Mimi (and as a result, ended up getting absolutely dolled up) and some guys comment on how they find her cute and one of them implies that he wants to make a move on her. He's not amused by their comments and even makes an "angry beast" face at them to scare them off!

DON'T SAY SUCH STUPID THINGS!Risa: How embarrassing~ What 'married couple' it's still to early!Otani: *smack* DON'T YOU GET INVOLVED TOO!Risa: ACK!Nakano-Sensei: ''Aah...'' We don't have any time left so we'll just let the married couple class representatives be the committee.
- The Matchmaker: When he was trying to hook up Risa with Suzuki. He ends up developing a Matchmaker Crush on Risa.
- The Napoleon: Half of the premise, is he being a guy with a height below most average guys. Overlaps with Hair-Trigger Temper. See Berserk Button above.
- Oblivious to Love: Not only is he initially completely oblivious to Koizumi being head over heels in love with him, even writing off an outright declaration of love from her as a joke.
- He also doesn't realize that his childhood friend Mimi is also madly in love with him.
- Oblivious to His Own Description: Koizumi describes Otani as her perfect guy and he does not get it despite it being a perfect description of him.Otani: What kind of guy is he?Risa: An idiot.Otani: Huh?Risa: Hes an idiot but hes a good guy. Hes shorter than me, but hes so sweet that I dont care.Otani: Is that so Dont tell me the reason youve been coming to watch basketball is because this guy you like is on the team?Risa: Shocked.Risa: Huh!?Otani: If its someone shorter than you, and hes on the basketball team, it has to be Yamamoto. No, wait Ikeda is pretty short tooRisa: Youre an idiot.
- Older Than They Look: Probably due at he is short for a guy, and people thinks hes a kid. . .
- She Is Not My Girlfriend: With Koizumi. Even after the former has kissed her of his own accord.
- Tiny Guy, Huge Girl: Tiny Guy to Koizumi's Huge Girl. Tiny Guy to Koizumi's Huge Girl. He is a guy with a height below most average guys and she is a girl whos taller than average. Do the math!
- Tsundere: A rare male example of Type A with heavy emphasis on the "tsun" part. Otani is often showing the tought kind of love, rarely expressing directly his feelings for Risa. His pet name for her could be considered idiot or stupid since he always calls her that way even when blushing.
- Even moreso than Koizumi. In fact she is way more open with her feelings and tries to be a cuter girlfriend just for him, but this hardly works cause he never appreciates it or he say things like gross or weird when she tries
- And that just pulls her tsundere side off her.
- Unrequited Love Switcheroo: With Koizumi. Played with. Risa falls in love with Otani, but Otani rejected her because he cant see her like more than a friend (maybe because shes taller than him too). Finally Risa gives up with Otani and she have a fangirl crush on Maity-sensei Otani gets unwittingly jealous of Maity and finally realizes about his feelings for Risa in a Green-Eyed Epiphany (invoked for Maity-sama.)
- Vitriolic Best Buds: With Koizumi. After they make a "truce" about hook up each other with their love interests (and fail) and after their deal about who gets a boyfriend/girlfriend first, they spend more time together and becomes close friends (they still fight, of course.)
Otani punches Yoshi.Yoshi: That hurt!Otani: No matter what you say, you are annoying! You are just trying to act cool!Yoshi [punches Otani]: I'm not really freaking trying to act cool!Otani: If that's how it is, it's really not cool at all!Yoshi : Shut up,tiny! I can't be friends with someone so tiny!Yoshi : It's like you're the one who is tiny! What should I do since we don't have a relationship?Otani: We do have a friendship! YOU ARE MY FRIEND!
- Nakao mock Otani quite often too,and Otani yells at him when he does or when he say something (he considers) stupid.
- With Yoshi in the manga. Otani gets angry about him because he's a jerk,but he is his friend anyways.
- Will They or Won't They?: Will the guy with a height below most average guys(Otani) and the girl who's taller than average (Risa) finally get together?

As Immunotherapy Revolutionizes the Cancer Treatment...
Adapting to Evolving Business Environments Is...
Wall Street Decline Takes Its Toll...
Process Development Jobs Still the Most...
Malvern Instruments completed its acquisition of NanoSight, in a deal that marries the maker of nanoparticle detection machines to a global provider with a broader portfolio of instrumentation and expertise for materials and biophysical characterization. The price was not disclosed.
NanoSight is based on technology invented by microbial biochemist Bob Carr, Ph.D., who co-founded the company and serves as its CTO. Carr's Nanoparticle Tracking Analysis (NTA) detects and visualizes within liquids populations of nanoparticles as small as 10 nm (depending on the material, specifically the difference in refractive index between the particles and the solvent) then measures the size of each particle based on direct observations of diffusion.
The particle-by-particle methodology produces higher resolution particle-size distributions than possible through traditional light-scattering and other ensemble techniques. NTA also measures particle concentration, validating its data through video of the moving particles.
Among applications for NTA that Malvern is looking to grow is detection of exosomes, biological nanoparticles central to cell signaling in cancers, diabetes, and other diseases. As NanoSight CEO Jeremy Warren told GEN earlier this year, NanoSight is capable of detecting exosomes ranging from 30 to 100 nm, well below the 300 nm size detectable through flow cytometry.
"The plans we have are ambitious and exciting, and the support and reach of the Malvern organization will allow us to grow more rapidly than we could alone," Warren said in a statement. "We have always seen Malvern as the clear leader in our sector, and the exemplar of what we wish to become."
Malvern's portfolio includes instruments that specialize in molecular size, structure, and weight, as well as chemical identification, microrheology, particle shape and size, protein aggregation and mobility, rheological properties, and zeta potential.
The company's products include the Zetasizer series, which according to the company is the system used most widely worldwide for nanoparticle, colloid, and protein size, zeta potential, and molecular weight measurements. Zetasiazer measures particle and molecule size from below a nanometer to several microns using dynamic light scattering; zeta potential and electrophoretic mobility using electrophoretic light scattering; and molecular weight using static light scattering.
As of May, NanoSight had installed more than 600 systems worldwide for customers that include pharma giants such as GlaxoSmithKline, Merck & Co., Novartis, Pfizer, and Roche, as well as numerous universities and research institutes. More than 800 third-party papers have cited nanoparticle observations obtained by using NanoSight equipment.
NanoSight's 2012 sales were £5.7 million ($8.6 million). NanoSight has grown sales by more than 60% annually, year-over-year since 2005, and the company generates 90% of sales outside the United Kingdom. Earlier this year, NanoSight was selected to win the Queen's Award for Enterprise: Innovation, just a year after receiving the 2012 Queen's Award for Enterprise: International Trade.
"NanoSight has grown every year since it was established in 2002, and has ambitious plans for the future," said Paul Walker, managing director of Malvern Instruments. "We will be providing the investment and support needed to continue this drive forward and are absolutely committed to developing the NanoSight brand within the Malvern portfolio.

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) - Richard Jefferson had 30 points, 11 assists and 10 rebounds for his first career triple-double, and Dikembe Mutombo delivered an elbow to Yao Ming's throat as the New Jersey Nets won their fourth in a row Monday night, 110-86 over the Houston Rockets.
Jefferson, selected the NBA's player of the week earlier in the day, led the team in scoring for the third consecutive game as the Nets overcame the absence of Kenyon Martin (sprained knee) and avenged one of their most embarrassing losses of the season.
New Jersey scored a franchise-low 24 first-half points in the last meeting between the teams March 8, but they eclipsed that total on a foul shot by Jefferson with 2:42 remaining in the first quarter.

The real reason we shell out so much dough to attend Summer Fest isn't our masochist desires to spend $5 on a canned soda (true story) while getting a painful sunburn, nor is it to show off our flower crowns or ironic t-shirts.
No, the real reason is simple: the bands. From big names stars like Ms. Lauryn Hill to local acts like Wild Moccasins, this year's music selection did not disappoint. From rap to mariachi, there was something for everyone — even in spite of the rain delay. Check out these performers in action, doing what they do best: rocking out.
