Thank you all for your review...and here's the next chapter. Enjoy~
Chapter 7: Darkening Sky
For the longest time, Ouka had always had power. At one time, though it stayed nothing but flashes of blurry events, Ouka was feared because of it. Both she and Teito were monsters to some, freaks to others, and aliens to their families, if they could ever named those strangers parents or siblings. For that longest time she was protected, Ouka lost her understanding about physical pain. This was the first ever that she woke up with throbbing head.
"Ughh," Ouka groaned. Her slim fingers automatically flew to massage her temple.
It looked like she was unconscious only for a few hours. The sky was still a spread of white and blue. The sun shifted only slightly. A few hours had probably passed.
"Where..." the girl stood up from the cold floor that was her unattended bed. The room was familiar as ever, except for the mess of things and no daydreaming brunette by the window. "Teito..."
Fear was the first feeling to invade her heart although not for long. Anger replaced the former in mere second as memories dawned on her finally. She didn't see the attacker but Ouka remembered seeing flash of gold. It should be that gold-haired man she despised. But oddly, she felt wrath toward Teito as well, even stronger.
The notion that she was betrayed by the only person she cared about hurt her so much. Her world was in a wreckage, just like this room. Pieces of glasses was her heart. Shattered and impossible to fix. Rage consumed her and her power unleashed like a sudden storm.
Sudden gust of wind swirled around her, making things flew and hit the wall. Smaller pieces of broken glass and furnitures broke even smaller until only dust remained. Sharp blades of wind was her shield. The damages had been done. All Ouka wanted was to kill both the intruder and Teito. And to achieve that, Ouka would do anything.
It had been a long while since he last visited the two children in the tower, Ayanami mused to himself. He didn't intend to neglect the two, but war kept him away for too long. In fact, it began to make him feel what he usually ignored: longing. Ayanami didn't realize he was still capable of experiencing that for all his humanly desire was voluntarily suppressed. The third prince wouldn't be too surprised if any of his people actually think he was heartless.
Snorting mockingly, the prince put down the map he was holding and sighed. The war had been demanding so much of his time, he couldn't even rest for a while. As result, he had abandoned the two children and not even allowed to think about them. At least, for now the heat had receded and the youngest prince could find more time to visit.
"You're smiling, Aya-tan. Is it the world's end?" The prince glared sharply at his right-hand man. The latter raised his hands to surrender, grinning ear to ear. "I'm joking. Anyway, I have good news."
"We're done for now. The King - or rather - that man has issued withdrawal decree."
Krowell stopped reading the report paper he received this morning and looked up to the raven. His eyes narrowed in suspicion. Knowing Hyuuga, despite his lack of seriousness attitude, Krowell knew the man better than most people. Hyuuga wouldn't come to report trivial things to him. He knew the prince hated unimportant news.
"I have expected the retreat, but not so soon. At least, not after unreasonably starting the war."
"Regarding that, I found some information. Apparently, Miroku - that old racoon - was searching information about the Eyes."
Krowell's eyes lit from interest. "Eyes? The legendary Eye of Mikael and Raphael?" Hyuuga affirmed it with a short nod. "I leave the withdrawal to you and the rest of Black Hawk. I'm going to the Tower now."
"Are they the ones?"
Pausing midway to the door, Krowell turned his head halfway, regarding his right hand man from the corner of his amethyst eyes. The sharp gaze didn't linger for long. The pale haired man turned back and exited the room. He didn't have to tell Hyuuga word by word for the man would catch what he meant. His stares was meant as warning and affirmation. After all, it would be troublesome if his finding about the tower was known to that old snake.
Halfway toward the exit of the camp, Krowell nodded curtly at two soldiers. "Are you going out, your Highness?" the taller of the two regarded carefully.
"I am. Don't expect early return. We have received withdraw order. I'll return to the castle alone."
The order was short, but clear, leaving no room for further discussion. Not that the prince expected any response from lower ranked officer. They were usually afraid of his presence. For that, he was thankful to have Hyuuga under him. The man was one of the few who didn't display fear but still held utmost respect for him as an individual.
Krowell hastened his steps, preferring to avoid any more soldiers. He had no time for salute and formalities. For now, the prince felt rumbling fear spreading like virus. It was nothing but intuition but somehow he could feel something was wrong. And the source of that displeasure was undoubtedly came from the Tower.
Earlier, sudden energy blast hit him like rough ocean wave. But it didn't last long before disappearing without a trace. He had suspicion that the two children held secrets for he always felt oddity oozing like fume from both of them. Though he never once voiced the thought, Krowell had his guess. They were most probably what or who Miroku was trying desperately to get.
Increasing the pace, Krowell reached the stable. With a turn of his head, the stable boy hurried in and brought his horse. The beast was his friend, being closer to him more than most human. Besides, the beast was beautiful. Its mane was silky white, in contrast to dark skin. Hard muscles made it an uncomfortable ride but it was faster than any horse. Most importantly, it was Krowell's loyal companion.
Stroking the mane, Krowell smiled as the beast neigh happily. The prince waited, his hand never cease to comb the horse's mane, until he felt readiness from his ride. He then swiftly climbed up. As soon as he landed with grace on top of the horse, it moved. Krowell never had to force the beast too hard because the smallest tug from him and it would obey.
They were cutting though the vast wilderness in less than an hour. That showed only the strength of his ride. But Krowell had no time to spend too much time praising the animal. The prince gave his horse encouraging pats and tied its rein to nearby tree. He double-checked that the tying was sloppy, just in case there was something happening so the horse could escape.
"Wait for me here." The horse gave a loud huff which was understood as affirmation by the prince. Giving a small smile, Krowell patted the horse one more time before fixing his rapier and entered the sealed wood.
Trailing though the path he always took and Krowell reached the entrance of the tower soon. The door was closed but the prince could felt something odd was or had happened. Cautiously, he reached the door, pushing it with one hand, another hand flew to grab the hilt of his rapier.
The door swung open, revealing the same darkness he knew, except with the smell of dried blood. He had been soldier for too long and easily recognized the smell. While the day was still early and sun still up high, black spots that were smearing the floor was clear. It was blood.
Beside the blood, footprints were slightly blur but still visible. It definitely did not belong to a child's. The only feasible answer was: someone other than him knew about this place and could pass the seal. Even with that, he could nailed the people down to some. Only royalty, either Raggs or Barsburg, that could pass the entrance seal. Knowing none of his brothers knew about this place, the only possible answer was Barsburg. And that meant, the King is the only person possible, for he was the last of Royal line in that Kingdom.
"This is getting complicated."
Having Miroku on his tail was bad enough, but at least it was internal problem. Barsburg was not. If the peace treaty was still taking effect, then this matter wouldn't be too hard to solve. They were at war. And this was the worst situation he could expect.
Krowell looked up towards the long flight of spiraling stairs. It looked intimidatingly endless at a glance, but having actually climbed it, he knew, a spell was put in this place. With the right shift in Zaiphon, one could be transported at least halfway. Did it twice or thrice, and he could cut the distance to a few round of climbing. And so he started to climb the steps and did his cheat.
A few short spell, and he was nearing the top. Not thinking much, he passed through the door, reaching the spacious living room. He stopped momentarily, trying to find any thing that looked different. He saw none. Continuing, he reached to the only room he visited: Teito's.
He was expecting to see some disappointed faces as well as happy. But when he entered the room, he saw none but a face distorting in anger. Gust of wind swirled around the lithe body, protecting the child with razor sharp blades. Ouka was looking at the empty chair where Teito usually sat while the room was in total mess from the wind.
"Ouka, what had happened? Where is Teito?"
The girl turned around. Anger flashed in her wine-colored eyes. Krowell immediately grasped the situation, understanding basically what might have occurred in this place.
"Calm down, Ouka." The prince commanded coldly. His tone left no space to compromise. Although fire was burning still in her eyes, the wind around Ouka diminished slowly into the air. When it had disappeared completely, Ouka took a step forward. Hate distorted her beautiful face. "What happened?"
Ouka sent another sharp look at him and then turned to look at the broken chair by the window. Krowell followed her line of gaze and returned. "Let us speak outside." He knew if they stayed in the room any longer, Ouka's mind would wander back to the destroyed chair. Knowing the man was right, Ouka nodded and followed him out.
All the way to the living room, her head was lowered down. Now that calm had once again returned, Ouka felt her eyes stung from unshed tears. She was angry still, but the lost was overwhelming. She never expected this day would ever come. She was hurt. Really hurt.
"Have you calm down?" Ouka glanced up and nodded hesitantly. Krowell was far from convinced but situation required urgency. So he pushed on. "Now, tell me everything."
Ouka was once very fond of this man. That was before she saw the glitter in Teito's eyes everytime he looked at this man. Teito adored Ayanami for many reasons. And for that, Ouka hated him. But after what happened, for once, she tolerated him. From the way he talked and the urgency in his voice, Ouka could tell. This man had nothing to do with Teito's disappearance. If all, Ayanami would do anything to get the boy back. If he did think of such, Ouka would help in anyway she could. After all, Teito was hers.
"I'll tell you."
Krowell was thinking. Hard. From what Ouka told him, he was almost certain that Teito was taken by the King of Barsburg. Though, the fact that the man was taken here by Teito was most disturbing. Teito was nursing someone, Ouka said. He used the salve Ouka made from her healing power. That meant the man was injured somehow. If his memory served correctly, the only wounded person around that day was the spy he fought. A thought crossed his mind, but that was impossible. Why would the King himself spied on a small army in the outskirt of the town?
If he was asked how close the probability of him guessing the right person, Krowell would say less than a percent. How many people in a day would be injured? Even the injury itself was something unpredictable. There were too many reasons for a wound. Still, the tugging feeling was too strong. It was too much of a close coincidence. If the person he hurt was indeed the King, it would be bad. Really bad.
Sensing his discomfort from the frown, Ouka broke the silence. "You know something." It was more of a statement than a question, but nothing worth debating, so Krowell ignored the question. Instead he went for something which had been plaguing his mind since he found out about Teito's disappearance.
"Ouka, how did that stranger managed to take Teito out from this place? There is a strong seal which prevents any of you to go out and others to go in."
"You're...right..." the words trailed off. Many different possibility were formed involuntarily in her mind. "Then...how come you can enter this place?"
Krowell gave her a mysterious smile but instead of answering the question, he offered something completely outrageous. "Why don't I try to take you out, Ouka?"
"Why don't I try to take you out." He repeated, clearly amused.
Ouka's eyes were widened in shock. "You...you can do that?"
The light-haired prince gave her a small smile, clearly enjoying the tease. He didn't instantly gave his answer. Instead he stood up from the chair he was sitting, taking Ouka's hand into his. Ouka was flustered though she managed to compose herself rather well.
"Who are you?" the girl asked, changing the question when she felt that her first question would never be answered. At least for now.
"My real name is Krowell. Let us leave, Ouka."
And then, magically, Ouka managed to leave this place. It was like the barrier was never there. Not even a spark was ignited. Though she noticed a small trail of red on the tip of Krowell's hand. It looked like blood. Maybe it was.
So many months had passed when Miroku finally managed to get a complete hold of the King. His plan was perfectly crafted. Clever. Sly. Dangerous. But it was necessary to get the power he wanted. The Eyes. Zaiphon of beginning. The magical power long lost and forgotten by most but the royals. When he first decided to take over Raggs, he was a bit doubtful. Even when he picked the place for the number of royal bloods, there was still no guarantee he might find what he wanted. Though at least he had more blood stock than Barsburg which had only one person.
Zehel, the Death Scythe. That was the King of Barsburg's title. He was named a genius being able to handle any kind of weapons like his own hands. Battle was his field, much like Krowell. They were often compared, being two of the same kind. And the latter was a hindrance to Miroku's plan. That brat suspected him and his ever-so-loyal Black Hawk was a pain.
Still, no matter how clever the third prince thought he was, Miroku was a step ahead. His net of information was vast and he knew the youngest prince had found what he was looking for. He also happened to find out that Krowell had made contact with the children.
The man didn't answer immediately. He rose from his seat beside the King's bed, looking down at the sitting King's blank stare. Now he had a doll by the name of King. His dream had taken a step closer.
"What is it?" answered the man finally.
From beyond the door, a soldier appeared. His face was obscured by helmet but Miroku knew the voice of his spy. "Reports from Barsburg has arrived. The King took back a child from the tower. It's highly possible that that child is the one."
Miroku's eyes immediately lit up. Finally! After so long! The plan was for Krowell to get a hold on the children. Though the plan was slightly diverged, the plan was still in the right track. Now, all he had to do was to send his people to fetch the child. But for now, he had to create diversion for his men.
"Sent a word to Barsburg. Kill the King and take the child. Also, the time has come for us to take Barsburg. Send Krowell out."
"Yes, my lord!" The man saluted and left hastily.
Finally. Finally after so long. He would gain the supreme power. No one could stop him now.

"Driving" and "California" are like peas and carrots. The fact is that in the Golden State, the quickest and easiest way to get to where you need to, is to drive there. It's not hard to see that in addition to the logistical benefits of freedom, speed and efficiency, driving has developed into one of America's favorite pastimes. Let's face it, with the wind in your hair and the warm sun on your face, cruising down the Pacific Coast Highway is its own high octane nirvana. However, while bliss isn't required to drive, car insurance is. It is not safe or legal for anyone to operate a motor vehicle without automobile insurance coverage. Bellflower, CA locals can now travel stress free (given that the 405 isn't backed up!) when they take in the sun and the savings.
Overwhelmed with options, motorists might not know where to get car insurance in Bellflower, CA. Some drivers approach insurance companies directly, but this may not be an option for some drivers and it is not the optimal choice for most other folks in Bellflower, California. Car insurance companies have their own interests in mind, and often charge as much as they can get out of their policy holders. At Shift Insurance, the driver comes first. Shift's agents work to find the most coverage for the lowest cost. Shift does not provide insurance, but rather we work to coordinate services between drivers and insurance companies, always finding the cheapest option available. Consequently, policy holders continually enjoy the best prices on automobile insurance. Bellflower, CA has too much to offer, to let high insurance premiums stand in the way of a good time.
Newly licensed Bellflower drivers face a lot of obstacles when they are first starting out. After the arduous harrowing hours learning how to navigate the 105, practicing how to parallel park, and finally passing all the required tests, inexperienced drivers (companies often consider drivers with less than three years of driving under their belt, to be high risk) must begin the often painful process of obtaining auto insurance in Bellflower, California. Car insurance does not have to be a burden though, with Shift Insurance, even brand new drivers are taken care of as if they had been zipping around on the road for years.
Some drivers look to Shift Insurance, because of our 'customer first' approach to car insurance. Some drivers come to Shift, looking for relief from high insurance premiums due to traffic infractions.

Our agents believe that all drivers deserve the highest level of customer service, along with the most affordable automobile insurance coverage. Bellflower, CA's great location and warm weather can inspire lead feet in even the safest drivers, and while Shift Insurance does not condone reckless driving – we do understand that almost everyone has an accident at some point in their life. At Shift Insurance we strongly believe that little mistakes should not cost otherwise good drivers an arm and a leg, or worse, their car insurance coverage.

There really is no reason why all of LA County can't enjoy the best prices on automobile insurance.

Picture a bottle of wine with a corkscrew opener action on it. Like this:
Now picture this:
!+-~(()=>{ })();
Do you get it? Please raise your hands if you do, hi-five!
Yes, it's JavaScript.
A self-invoking function written in ES6 (ES2015) with some passion for wine and arrow functions. The corkscrew part, i.e. "!+-~" in the front of the parens () is more or less a silent signature and doesn't by itself influence the execution of the context (code) following it.
Let's look at the bottle, i.e. enclosure part a bit closely next:
- Start with:
(function(){ })();// Anonymous function that's immediately called.
(() => { } )();// Replace the traditional function definition with an arrow function
(() => { /* code wine here */ } )();// There's your bottle of wine.
Self-invoking functions have been very useful a convention to ship and age beautiful JavaScript plugins. I guess with arrow functions it only gets better, more beautiful.
Here's an example on using Node's simple module loading system
require within a corkscrew'ed bottle:
<br />!+-~((r)=>{ const circle = r('./circle.js'); console.log( `The area of a circle of radius 4 is ${circle.area(4)}`); })(require);

("Mountain Province", the "Company") (TSX: MPV, NYSE-AMEX: MDM) is pleased to announce that analysis of the final results of the Falcon airborne gravity gradiometry (AGG) survey over the Company's 100%-controlled Kennady North Project has identified over 70 geophysical targets of which 29 are considered high priority and closely resemble the known kimberlites in the Kennady Lake area. The AGG survey was flown by Fugro Airborne Surveys. On-site quality control and interpretation of the data was done by independent consultant Mr. Kit Campbell, P. Geoph., of Intrepid Geophysics, Vancouver B.C. Located within the diamond fields of Canada's Northwest Territories, the Kennady North Project encompasses thirteen leases and claims contiguous to the Company's 49%-controlled Gahcho Kué Project held in joint venture with De Beers Canada. Past exploration at Kennady North led to the discovery of the diamondiferous Faraday, Kelvin and Hobbes kimberlites. Drilling of these kimberlites returned excellent micro-diamond counts with a size frequency distribution very similar to the highly diamondiferous Gahcho Kué kimberlites, which have a fully diluted reserve grade of 1.57 carats per tonne. Commenting, Mountain Province President and CEO Patrick Evans said: "We are very excited about the large number of high priority geophysical targets that have been identified at Kennady North. Besides the excellent micro-diamond counts and size frequency distribution from the known kimberlites, a 0.40 carat diamond was recovered from a 65 kilogram sample taken from Faraday and the samples recovered from Faraday also exhibit an unusually high percentage of yellow diamonds. This is very encouraging." Mr. Evans added: "As soon as we've secured a land use permit for Kennady North, we intend following up with ground-truthing of the high priority targets in preparation for drilling next year. Mountain Province has retained Aurora Geosciences Ltd. based in Yellowknife, NWT, to manage the Kennady North exploration program." The results of the AGG survey flown over the Gahcho Kué Project will be announced once the Joint Venture has completed an analysis of the final report.

Our hotel (Posada Los Olivos) recommended this restaurant. The hamburgers were excellent, the staff was friendly, esp Marco, and the place was spotless. Would highly recommend.
This is an excellent restaurant with all sorts of choices, but you cannot go wrong with the steaks! As appetizers we ordered the mushrooms and cheese and guacamole and they were wonderful, so much delicious food! My ribeye steak was done perfectly, and I enjoyed every bite! Their portions are large, everything was just perfect and you can tell they...
I took a group of 26 to this restaurant. I have taken the group there every year for the past 10 years. I love the food. My favorite is the Bacon wrapped shrimp. Remember they are not accustomed to individual bills but bill the whole table to one bill that is a bit agrivating but their culture.
Nice environment, a wide variety of dishes, my favorite t-bone, rib eye, arracheras, guacamole, melted cheese with chorizo, mushrooms, etc.
Perfect to enjoy with your couple or friends.
when in Mochis, I alway stop here. There is two locations and both are fine. I like the garlic shrimp. I ate in the restaurant near the walmart. the food is fine and t he service is too
My wife and I decided to go here based on reviews in the Lonely Planet. The restaurant serves classic Mexican dishes plus burgers. My wife selected the chicken fajitas and I went for the Mexicana burger. The fajitas were very well done with just the right amount of spice. The burger was fantastic with salsa, guacamole and fresh salad. After...

One had to suspect this was a rather stupid article reading its first sentence:
"Every single day before communion, millions of Christians verbally declare one of the most destructive phrases in human history."
First, as things go I don't believe that "phrases" and their utterances are very high on the list of destructive actions in human history. Second, I can think of a lot of phrases more destructive than this one. In point of fact, the argument made by the author regarding the destructiveness are false. The gist of her argument is:
"By believing we are not worthy, we open the door for the mistreatment of ourselves and the mistreatment of others as we seek to assuage the psychological pain the false belief imparts."
Even assuming that is true (in general, I don't think it is true for, amongst many reasons, the feelings you cite in the last paragraph of your post), I would assert it is far worse when one believes he or she is "worthy." Such certainty almost always leads to individuals and groups behaving in the most reprehensible ways. The horrors of "self worthiness" apply to religion and government and social issues and to life in general.
However, I doubt if the Pope or the Church hierarchy reads HufPo, and I doubt many Catholics agree with the odd point of view of this women. Its not clear to me why you need to dedicate a post to this article. Its not a mountain or even a molehill.
- Peter Bradley said...
And yet Huffington Post thought it was worth publishing.
But you question me for responding?
It's not that our liberal friends are ignorant, it's just that they know so much that isn't so.
What I question is your assertion that somehow this represents some large swath of the population's view on Catholic teachings and dogma. I hate to tell you, but vast vast majority of non-Catholics could care less about this subject. There is no movement in "liberal" or "progressive" circles to attack Catholics or Catholic doctrine. Sure, you can cook up some fringe elements in articles like this and present them as though a mob is coming to get you, but in reality there is no mob and there is no persecution. The biggest push back is in the political realm where religious ideas and secular ideas clash over what the actual laws on various subjects should be. In almost every case, these laws address "secular behavior" and have nothing to do with "religious behavior" or religious practice. Yet you and others continue to present the false case that you are being persecuted. You are not.

Jordany Valdespin had a strong Spring Training performance, where he posted a .361 on-base percentage. This came after a Winter League season in which he had 21 BB compared to 22 Ks. It had many people claiming that he was a young player who was figuring things out. On top of that, Valdespin got off to a terrific start the first 10 games of the year. He posted a .400/.478/.500 line and people were disappointed whenever he wasn't in the starting lineup. However, in his last 10 games, Valdespin has a .174/.174/.348 line. Now overall he has a respectable .745 OPS in 46 PA. Still, two things should be pointed out. First, Valdespin has a .344 BABIP. Last year in 206 PA he had a .273 BABIP so odds are that his current mark will continue to fall as the season progresses. Secondly, Valdespin has a 4.3 BB%, right in line with last year's 4.9 mark. If you subtract his batting average from his on-base percentage, Valdespin has an isolated OBP of .047 here in 2013. In Spring Training...

Jacer: Siblings
I looked from Eddy to Aster, confused at what they had been talking about as well. Had they reconciled the confusion with the Captain, then? I had seen Aster and the captain together, as well as noticed Edwina's feelings. From what I knew from my instincts, two women courting the same man, or a man courting two women, made the two women fight due to jealousy and anger. Well, it wasn't the first time I wasn't sure about something, so I decided to ignore the situation. Edwina didn't seem to be in physical or emotional danger.
"If you do not mind, Captain Jericho," I said, picking the best words to portray my own curiosity at the captains earlier offer, "I would like to learn how to operate this amazing machine." The captain let me know I had succeeded in saying something right by smiling widely. In truth, I did not find this airship to be any more amazing than any other airship, but I did not think that would make the captain feel any positive emotions. Also, I did not know too much about airships in the first place, so I still could come to believe the machine to be 'amazing.'
"Well, then," the captain said, still letting his smile show, "I think this will be interesting. Finding out how well our steaming friend here can fly."
I realized that the steam around me had, indeed, built up. I quickly dispelled it with a wave of my hand and smiled at Edwina, who was now looking at me with a curious expression. I did not know if she was afraid I might fail and crash us, or if she maybe thought I could do better than the captain. I decided it would be interesting to see myself.
"First, we have to go on this 'trip' though," Jericho said, finishing up his meal, "So be ready to head out!"
We all did just as the captain said. Edwina helped me with my clothing, as well as checking up on my body's status. This was odd for me, but I put up with it. Mainly due to the understanding that this was an important thing for me. If I wasn't maintained, I could cease to function. Before, I might have reacted badly to this, but now I understood.
She looked up from sealing a piece of my skin on my chest. "Yes, Jacer?"
"When I woke up, you called me brother." I looked directly into her eyes, something I knew was supposed to be done when asking an important question and, to me, this was important. "Why did you call me brother?"
Edwina smiled before answering almost immediately. "Because my dad made you."
I was confused at this. "But, I thought it was you who made me?"
"Well... I finished you up, but my father was the one who made the plans and did most the work." My skin was finished and Eddy gave me a shirt to put on. "Think of him as your father as well."
"But, I am not related to you by blood."
"We are still made by the same man." She smiled and went to leave the room. "So, that makes us siblings."
I was still confused though. "Were you made like me?"
That... gave Edwina an odd look that I realized to be a blush. "Jacer, please stop asking questions. We are siblings, OK? That's all you need to know." With that, Edwina left the room. She had still been blushing, but I could not understand why. Blushing signified embarrassment. Maybe it was because she was embarrassed to think of her creation?
I decided not to question it and put on my coat. It was time to meet the captain and leave to see his friend. I wondered if the captain would try to kiss Edwina on this trip like he kissed Aster.
Somehow the thought made me angry.

Mark Zuckerberg conceded Friday that Facebook didn't do enough until recently to police hate speech on the social media site in Germany, but said it has made progress and has heard the message "loud and clear."
German authorities, concerned about racist abuse being posted on Facebook and other social networks as the country deals with an influx of hundreds of thousands of migrants, have been pressing social media sites for months to crack down.
The Facebook CEO talked personally about the issue in September with German Chancellor Angela Merkel, and met her chief of staff during a visit to Germany this week. The Merkel meeting "really highlighted how much more we needed to do in this country," he said at a town hall event in Berlin.
"Hate speech has no place on Facebook and in our community," he said. "Until recently in Germany, I don't think we were doing a good enough job. And I think we will continue needing to do a better and better job."
Zuckerberg pointed to efforts, including funding a team to work with police to combat hate speech on Facebook. He said learning more about German law has led the company to expand its view of "protected groups" there and "to now include hate speech against migrants as an important part of what we just now have no tolerance for."
"There's still work to do," he said. "We want to do that, but I think we hear the message loud and clear and we're committed to doing better."

Beds ready for use for migrants and refugees are prepared at a processing center on January 27, 2016 in Passau, Germany. The flow of migrants arriving in Passau has dropped to between 500 and 1,000 per day, down significantly from last November, when in the same region up to 6,000 migrants were arriving daily.
Zuckerberg, meanwhile, faced other issues at his own company headquarters in Menlo Park, California. He lashed out in an internal memo this week at employees who crossed out "black lives matter" on Facebook's signature walls and replaced the words with "all lives matter."
The incidents apparently continued although Zuckerberg told employees they were unacceptable.
"I was already very disappointed by this disrespectful behavior before, but after my communication I now consider this malicious as well," Zuckerberg wrote in a letter published by the website Gizmodo and confirmed by a Facebook source who demanded anonymity because the issue was an internal matter.
"There are specific issues affecting the black community in the United States, coming from a history of oppression and racism," Zuckerberg wrote. "'Black lives matter' doesn't mean other lives don't — it's simply asking that the black community also achieves the justice they deserve."
In Berlin, Zuckerberg praised Germany's approach to Europe's migrant crisis. Merkel so far has maintained an open-door policy for refugees, seeking an elusive diplomatic solution to reduce an influx that has prompted an increasing number of countries to impose national border restrictions.
"German leadership in the refugee crisis, I think, has been inspiring and is a model for the world," Zuckerberg said. "I hope the U.S. follows Germany's lead on this."

First BoD meeting
After a first informal meeting, the new BoD will have its first official meeting on December 4th. The meeting will take place in private, mainly because we first want to get to know each other and because of negative experiences made by previous boards. After that we will announce the outcomes publicly on the BeVolunteer IRC-channel, as far as we can, and will be open for questions and comments by the community on that same channel.
December 4th
19:00 CET - start of the BoD meeting
21:00 CET - outcomes of the meeting will be made public and time for questions and comments

Servas-BeWelcome update
Monday there was a meeting between the Servas-to-BeWelcome project members. It involved two members of the BW board of directors (including me), one BW coder and three Servas coordinators (including the president of Servas International).
The topic was the general roadmap for the project. A draft had been submitted a few days earlier by one Servas coordinator and we were going to discuss it and take it to a complete state. Most of the items of the roadmap were pretty trivial and were quickly agreed upon. However we ran into a disagreement on one point. The draft included the option of outsourcing some of the programming to a commercial company.
This illustrates very well the difficulties for two independant organizations to join forces in a common goal. In particular when, like in our case, it is two philantropic organizations with very similar mindsets and an emphasis on democracy. You'd think it would go very smoothly... Think again :) . But the cool thing about democratic organization is that they always find a good consensus. And we draw much satisfaction from that democratic process.
Historically, BeWelcome is a volunteer project. It is written in many places on the website that nobody is getting paid for anything. Servas has no such history and finds it pretty normal to hire external help if they don't have the volunteer ressources to reach their goals. None of those two approaches is "bad", but they are a bit incompatible.
The main issue comes from the fact that BeWelcome lacks the skilled programmers necessary to carry out this project. So something needs to be done.
So, what compromise? Well, we decided that we would hire help for documenting the existing code (which is not programming in any way), that is a difficult and boring task that volunteers are reluctant to pick up. And possibly to design mockups of the final product (which code will be separated from the BeWelcome software). The actual coding would still be done by volunteers.
And, to make it possible, we will organize a "coding week-end" where new-coming programmers will be invited as well as old-timers to kickstart the production of code in a friendly and relaxed setting. Nobody gets paid, but expenses will be covered.
That's all for now. Stay tuned for later news.
The future of BeWelcome: Reactions so far.
Well. Life sure is surprising!
I saw an enormous amount of response to the "BeWelcome needs you" mailing and I hope to see even more. Some people have terminated their account, which in a way is regrettable, but in another way can also improve the quality of our network. A few people have made a serious donation, we're not there yet though! A lot of people reacted in writing, on the forum and via personal messages.
In general the impression is that I do see a lot of people wanting this community to continue. We've had a lot of practical suggestions as well though:
- Ideas about reducing (server) costs. Our server admins are already making efforts in this direction and it will help. We can also look at other sources of income, of which ads/affiliations seem the most "easy" one. Grants were also suggested and I would happily welcome a volunteer who would like to investigate the possibilities there.
- Feature suggestions. This sparked an interesting discussion yesterday about "killer features", things that could make us stand out even more as a unique hospitality exchange site. There are a few very strong (and sometimes difficult to implement) suggestions, which we will certainly talk about more in the coming days.
- Suggestions about small improvements to for instance the layout, the forum system, etc. All of these are actually relatively easy to help improve as a volunteer, so I would happily direct anyone with user interface/HTML/CSS/PHP experience to the development team!
But there was one reaction that is worthy of a special reply, because it goes to the core reason BeWelcome even exists in the first place: "Why do we volunteer for this relatively small organization and not for Couchsurfing, Hospitality Club or one of the others out there?"
The short answer is: we are the only hospitality network that is truly run by the community. This is a bold statement and to understand why this is so, it may help to consider my own personal story.
Before I got involved with BeWelcome, I volunteered for Couchsurfing, where I tried to help with some coding. All-in-all, this was an incredibly frustrating experience because it seemed that no good idea had any chance if it didn't come from the "right people". When I found out some ex-volunteers from Hospitality Club had started this new thing called BeWelcome, I was quite surprised when I went and had a look:
- BeWelcome had and has a real legal non-profit structure (the BeVolunteer association) and it was possible to become a legal (voting) member of this organization. Not only that, but it was possible for anyone to be a candidate for the board of directors.
- Real discussions about features, code, philosophy, etc, were held in the open and I could participate! Not only that, but the tone in BeWelcome was and is almost always constructive, even if people didn't agree all the time. Not only that, but the outcome of the discussions has real impact on what was going on inside the website/community. For once, I wasn't talking into thin air, what a difference!
The way BeWelcome was set up even allowed me to become chairman after a couple of years of volunteering and building trust.
And this is where BeWelcome makes the difference for volunteers compared to any of the other networks: the community and volunteers take absolute priority over the founders and the "directors". I challenge you to become "in charge" (this is a very heavy term for what I actually do in BeWelcome) of any of the other hospitality networks and websites out there. In BeWelcome, this truly is possible.
This of course has consequences for the way we run, both good and bad:
- Things tend to move a bit more slowly because concencus is often valued. (Although, the speed at which our software gets better is actually pretty damn good if I may say so.) It is definitely harder to "keep focus".
- There is no-one that can stop or sell the website by themselves. There is strong legal protection in place against this.
- We have much stronger protections against privacy problems for the same organizational and legal reasons.
BeWelcome needs your help
Today I am going to ask you for your help. Today I am going to ask you to make a difference.
BeWelcome is a website, but it's also a community which you have chosen to be a part of. It is also a place where ordinary people like you and me have put in thousands of hours of voluntary work to make the community interesting, fun and functional. It may surprise you, but no one has ever been paid for any of that hard work.
BeWelcome is unique in another way, because it is the only truly democratic online hospitality exchange network. This means that this is the only place where your voice, your opinion truly matters. BeWelcome is built on this promise, this opportunity:
"Creating a hospitality community based on collective work, democracy and transparency."
But we're in serious danger of losing this opportunity. We are not growing as we'd like to grow. We have trouble keeping our donations flowing. We're simply not seeing the usage and the support that BeWelcome needs. Out of frustration regarding this current state of affairs and because of serious time constraints, Florian has stepped down as chairman of the board of directors of BeVolunteer (the legal organization underneath this all) and asked me as former vice chairman to take over. I would like to personally thank Florian for his voluntary work so far, but especially for the strong wake-up call he is giving us in this way. Because he's right: making BeWelcome work sometimes seems like an impossible task with very little in return.
That's why we need your help. We need you to speak up, to let us know if you still care about this project.
You can do this in many ways:
- You can vote with your feet. Make your presence known:
put up a picture, update your profile, write a reference, join a group.
Or - if you are not interested any more in participating - terminate your account.
- You can participate in this evaluation phase by letting your voice be heard in our forums. Tell everyone what you think should be done. Make suggestions.
- You can make an even stronger statement: donate. This one is simple; if we can't get enough donations, we will simply not be able to afford the rent for the website servers anymore. This will be the end of the community no matter what. You know BeWelcome doesn't ask for money often, so when we do, it's serious. Donate.
- Volunteer. Join one of the many efforts to make BeWelcome work. Or, show your appreciation to any of the hard-working volunteers out there.
I'm going to do my part as well. Together with the entire board of directors, I will try to reach out to other organizations to form long-term alliances. We will also listen to you, read and process all of your suggestions/comments/questions and create a poll in the very near future that will determine where BeWelcome is headed.
Show that you care. Make this community live.
Log in, participate, debate, donate, volunteer or send thanks. Make a difference.
Thank you,
Thomas Goorden, new chairman of BeVolunteer, and the BoD

Andrew Jackson (March 15, 1767 – June 8, 1845) was the 7th President of the United States (1829–1837). He was also military governor of Florida (1821), commander of the American forces at the Battle of New Orleans (1815), a founder of the modern Democratic Party, and the eponym of the era of Jacksonian democracy. He was a polarizing figure who dominated American politics in the 1820s and 1830s. Nicknamed "Old Hickory" because he was renowned for his toughness, Jackson was the first President primarily associated with the frontier as he based his career in Tennessee.

AbstractFor manned and unmanned vehicles in current military operating environments, many adversary and civilian platforms exist that can be considered non-traditional, unconventional, or otherwise unaccounted for in the design of these vehicles. These unconventional and nontraditional aircraft, ship, and boat targets pose unique challenges to radar system designers, analysts, and operators. To aid in the analysis and design of various radar systems, reliable M & S capabilities are needed to predict radar signatures of the previously described targets and their operating conditions. The radar systems of interest for these M & S capabilities operate at frequencies from L-Band up to the K-Bands, with an emphasis on X-Band frequencies since it is utilized for a number of targeting, tracking, and other radar systems of interest. High-frequency CEM methods are suitable for M & S of radar signatures at these frequencies, given the electrically large nature of the targets. A limited number of high-frequency asymptotic software tools exist for predicting radar signatures of targets, but all have significant shortcomings. Delcross Technologies proposes to develop a new software tool called Signa that can be used to predict radar signatures of electrically large air, ground and sea targets while addressing the shortcomings of existing asymptotic signature prediction tools.

Natalie Brooks - Drunken
I wanted to know so much what was going on inside Ash's head. He seemed to be hiding something from me, just as I had been from him but he'd been able to break through my barriers and find the truth. I'm not sure if I could return the favor if that's what it is that I'm trying to do.
I felt slightly confused, sitting next to Ash on the bus. He felt so tense beside me, rigid. Something must have happened during the time before we'd gotten on the bus and when he'd came and sat down next to me. Or maybe, he was just trying to avoid my questions. It could be either but I didn't know. I won't have a chance to know.
When the bus lurched to a stop, I stood up abruptly, moving past Ash before he could get up himself and give me the room to pass by. I was off the bus before he could catch up with me, moving towards the lobby of the hotel. It was when I waited for the receptionist to give me my room key did I hear him next to me.
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing," I muttered, feeling frustrated as I snatched my room key from the receptionist's hand and pushed past Ash who stood behind me, holding the same confused expression I had before.
He didn't follow me like I'd thought he would. Instead, when I looked back over my shoulder, I saw another woman talking with him. She was our escort on the trip and she seemed to be leaning slightly forward against Ash whose face I couldn't see. Shrugging to myself, I moved towards the elevator, not really caring.
I just needed a break from today.
I hadn't heard from him. But why did that thought make me feel so uncomfortable? I was on the edge, as I waited for a knock on my room door and hoping it would be from Ash. But no one did. I don't even know why it troubled me so much. Did this mean I wanted to be with him? I shook my head at the thought. Maybe I was just missing his presence. He's the first person I'd been completely open with since I left...yeah, that could be the reason.
Sighing, I slid off my bed and moved towards the table, taking a sip out of the water. It's two a.m in the morning. And I felt quite bored. Sighing once more, I looked through the hotel brochure on my table. Most of the restaurants here were closed by now. The only place open would be the bar downstairs...the bar! Jumping to my feet, I changed out of my night clothes and into a tank and black skirt that hung to my knees, enough to keep the bruises covered.
I needed a drink. Grabbing my keys, I moved out the room and downstairs. Before long, I was at the bar and drinking too much for the time. Things started going dizzy, as if someone had picked up and tossed the room to spin endlessly. I don't know when it was that I left conciousness but I did.
The next morning, I woke up with a light headache and noticed I was in my room. Sitting on a chair was Ash. He was looking outside the window near my bedside, obviously having not realised I was awake. Groaning, I sat up and his face turned to meet mine.
"What were you thinking?" He asked, coming close beside me to help me up as I rubbed my eyes with my hand.
"I have issues, okay?" I mumbled and I saw him roll his eyes at me.
"Good excuse."
It took me a while to completely take control of myself. But when I did, the first thing I asked was, "What were you doing in Room 3?"
Ash looked completely taken aback by the question, his eyes widening in surprise. "What?"
"I saw you come out of it. It's the only thing I remember most clearly from earlier on. You were in Room 3...weren't you?"
I waited for him to answer and by the look on his face, I knew that my judgement wasn't wrong.

Most Shocking Animal Attacks on HumanCreature assaults are a typical reason for either human fatalities or wounds. The recurrence of creature assaults shifts with topographical area. In the United States, a man will probably be slaughtered by a creature than they are to bite the dust from being hit by lightning.[1]
Creature assaults have been recognized as a noteworthy general wellbeing issue. In 1997 it was assessed that up to 2 million creature chomps happen every year in the United States. Wounds brought about by creature assaults result in a great many fatalities worldwide each year.[2] All reasons for death are accounted for to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention every year. Therapeutic damage codes are utilized to recognize particular cases.[3] The World Health Organization utilizes indistinguishable coding, however it is indistinct whether all nations monitor fatalities brought on by creatures.
Tigers kill a greater number of individuals than some other enormous feline, and tigers have been in charge of more human passings through direct assault than some other wild mammal.[65] One hundred twenty-nine individuals were killed by tigers in the Sundarbans from 1969–71.[65][66] The Sundarbans are involved by 600 Bengal tigers[67] who before present day times used to "routinely kill fifty or sixty individuals a year" assaults keep on increase.lions enter territories possessed by humans.[66] Lion assaults in Tanzania expanded from 1990 to 2005. No less than 563 villagers were assaulted and numerous eaten over this period. Scientists contend that protection arrangement contributes straightforwardly to human passings. Lions have taken individuals from the focal point of huge towns. Gauges stand at 550–700 individuals assaulted by lions each year.Main article: Coyote assaults on people
Coyote assaults are exceptional and as a rule cause little mischief yet have turned out to be more successive. This is particularly valid in California. Starting 30 years before 2006 one hundred sixty occurred for the most part in the Los Angeles County region.[73] 41 assaults happened amid 1988–1997, 48 assaults were checked from 1998 through 2003. The larger part of these episodes happened in Southern California.[74] Some coyotes pursue joggers and bicyclists, face individuals strolling their mutts, and stalk little children.[74] The coyotes that meander Eastern Canada and parts of the Northeastern United States are known as coywolves because of their half and half with wolves.

GSP vs Penn in Montreal
Dana White wants to bring the UFC back to Montreal, possibly in November or December. There is speculation that GSP could fight BJ Penn on this card.
I was at GSP's last fight in Montreal and I'm a HUGE fan. I'm also a huge fan of fairness in professional sports, so I ask, do you think it's fair that GSP would defend his belt again in Montreal?
I don't think it fair if Penn were to get a title shot against GSP (provided he beats Fitch) at 170 without fighting a contender or two.
Anderson Silva didn't jump to 205 to fight a title-holder.
I think having GSP fight in Montreal rewards the Canadian fans as much as it rewards the UFC, so I'm good with it.
Wait, I thought this fight was supposed to be in Hawaii. Hawaii deserves a UFC event as they were one of the first hotbeds of MMA in America.
Already posted boys.

Nitro Taxwood/Hobush Pro Model Snowboard
From the park to the streets, Sam Taxwood and Brandon Hobush have been killing it everywhere and making a name for themselves in the process, so Nitro decided to reward them with the TaxwoodHobush Pro Model Snowboard. Based off the freestyle favorite Swindle, it has a flat profile and an urban flex for freestyle destruction. Combining the forgiving feel of rocker with the stability of camber, the Flat Out Rocker's flat profile offers a feel that's loose enough for rails, but still capable of sending it on big jumps. The PowerCore II with Whiplash profiling keeps the board lightweight and poppy, and a medium soft flex helps you lock in presses. Railkiller edges are 20% beefier than standard edges to withstand season after season of abuse, and the Premium Extruded FH base offers durability, speed, and low maintenance to take the beatings from rail and urban riding like no other. Forgiving and strong, the Bi Lite laminate is designed for exceptional strength, powerful style, and refined board feel.

Anyone have tips for packing a DSLR camera (Canon EOS) in such a way that it's easy to get to, but not in the way?Oct 6, 2009 at 8:20 pm #1533742
Greg MihalikBPL Member
@greg23Locale: Colorado
Not eggsactly what you are asking about, but worth considering –
""How do I take good photographs?" A friend asked me this on a climb not long ago. I asked him where his camera was, and he replied that it was in his pack. I asked him where mine was, and he pointed to where it was hanging off my shoulder strap. Lifting the camera to my face, I took a shot of him quizzically pointing at me, with the mountains arrayed in the background."

I pack it ( Olympus 420 but there is room for bigger ) in an OMM 4 or 5L, 130g frontpack, otherwise its not at hand and i take way less photos.Oct 6, 2009 at 11:13 pm #1533779
Darin ButlerMember
@darinbuLocale: Rocky Mountains
I carry a Canon 20D with a 17-40L lens in a Lowepro Topload Zoom AW case. There is also room in the case to add a 70-200 F4 lens with a little effort. This makes for a heavy setup! I carry the case by removing its shoulder strap and then using two carabiners to attach the case to my two backpack shoulder straps in front. The case then rests against my chest, making it very easy to access the camera. I like using the carabiners because i can quickly open one of them to allow me to remove the entire backpack.
I do find that I don't often use the 70-200mm lens while backpacking, so my current case is often overkill. I need to get a lighter case which just holds the camera with the 17-40L, and attach it to my pack the same way I do now. I'm considering the Lowepro Rezo 140AW for this. I really like the AW (all weather) versions because they have a built-in rain cover which works nicely.
Without the shoulder strap, my Topload Zoom weighs 21.5 oz. I estimate that the Rezo without strap weighs 13 oz. That's a savings of 8.5 oz for $40, which is pretty darn good. What am I waiting for?Oct 7, 2009 at 11:01 am #1533882
If I have to pack the camera, I won't even bother bringing it because I know I'll never get it out. I tried hanging it from the sternum strap on my pack, but it feels too high.
Either of the methods posted are good, I'll test both and see what works best for me.
Thanks for the input, I look forward to more ideas coming in.Oct 7, 2009 at 5:57 pm #1534063
Damien TougasBPL Member
My wife recently purchased a HoldSLR (http://www.holdslr.com/) for her Nikon D300. While she liked the concept and the way it carried the camera, she found that it was not comfortable for her body, it was pressing to hard against her chest when wearing a sternum strap. It probably works better for a male build, but I could be wrong on that.
If anyone is interested in trying it out, let me know, we are thinking of selling it.Mar 5, 2010 at 9:22 am #1582317

@minerLocale: SoCAL
Back when I use to carry a film EOS Canon SLR, I use to just hang it off my neck crossed over 1 shoulder and this never bothered me.
Even today, I still see guys who carry SLRs on long backpacking trips. They usually have a camera bag on their hipbelt, or a fannypack sytle bag mounted above their hipbelt. If you could juryrig a case to hang off your shoulder or sternum strap, this should also work (this is also how I carry my camcorder).Mar 5, 2010 at 12:00 pm #1582407

@monstertruck-2Locale: Almost Yosemite
Toploading case and a couple caribiners is all you need.
The ULA packs have d rings on the shoulder straps but they sit a little high.
Most packs have webbing running over the shoulder straps that you can clip a carabiner through. If your belly isn't too big you can carry it lower on the straps like this.Mar 5, 2010 at 1:19 pm #1582444

I made up a camera case which hangs around my neck and has a retaining strap which goes around behind me.
The original motive was so I could carry my camera (and its batteries) inside my parka in bad weather, and keep it warm.

I carry my camera just like Ryan. I like it lower like his second picture. The camera is easier to get to that way plus it makes a dandy platform for note-taking (if you are so inclined). I've got a really old Tamrac holster that my parents had for their old film SLR. I can fit my D40 with 55-200 VR attached in the main compartment along with an extra memory card and wireless remote. In the front pocket I can squeeze an old 50/1.8E and 24/2.8 AIS with a lens cloth in between them for a little padding. I like this set up so much that it is a little disheartening to see so many new packs not including nylon webbing the whole length of the shoulder straps.
I also keep an Ultrapod 2 in an outside pocket of my pack. Obviously this all doesn't get carted along on every trip, but recently most of my trips have had some photo time scheduled in.
PS- Anyone have any old Nikon film gear their want to off load? Its not worth anything so you might as well send it to me so I can properly dispose of it :P.Mar 5, 2010 at 2:08 pm #1582472
Ryan – I've carried my DSLR just a little lower than your top photo there, it's not that bad at all.Mar 5, 2010 at 8:16 pm #1582638

I carry my camera (GA645Wi) in a pouch (Lowepro SlipLock Pouch 60 AW) attached to hipbelt. Probably only practical if you're using trekking poles.

Billions in Stimulus Funds Paid to Tax Delinquent Contractors
ABC News' Devin Dwyer (@devindwyer) reports:
The federal government awarded $24 billion in Recovery Act funds to contractors and vendors who owe millions in unpaid taxes, a new Government Accountability Office report has found.
The nonpartisan watchdog agency reported Tuesday that at least 3,700 recipients owed more than $750 million combined in unpaid federal taxes as of Sept. 30, 2009. They represent 5 percent of all recipients of the so-called stimulus funds.
"For many years now, we've known that a small percentage of federal contractors and grantees who get paid with taxpayer dollars shirk their responsibility to pay their taxes," said Democratic Sen. Carl Levin of Michigan. "Now the executive branch should get on with it and actually debar the worst of the tax cheats from the contractor workforce."
Levin, who chairs the Senate Permanent Investigations Committee, plans to hold a hearing on the report this afternoon.
"That such a huge amount of the stimulus money went to known tax cheats should be a wakeup call for Congress," said Republican Sen. Tom Coburn of Oklahoma, the committee's ranking member.
The GAO said their report likely underestimates the total amount of unpaid taxes owed by stimulus recipients. Federal law does not require government agencies to check the tax compliance of prospective grantees.
The report singled out 15 cases of "abusive or potentially criminal activity" for further investigation by the IRS.
One nonprofit health care organization reportedly owes $4 million in payroll taxes and has repeatedly submitted "dishonored checks" to the IRS to pay the bill. An unnamed security company, which received over $100,000 in Recovery Act funds and still owes more than $9 million in taxes, reportedly paid debts to other creditors but not the IRS and has repeatedly violated federal labor laws.
