Hi All,
I have an urgent requirement of activating HEMI support function in UPK 3.5.1.
As per my understannding, HEMI is a support function which automatically links Oracle to UPK. So if a user needs help whilst navigating the system they can click on the HEMI link (which I am led to believe is similar to the Help button / hyperlink function) and it will take them to a list of all relevant UPK content as identified through the Unique context ID that is saved when the UPK topics are recorded - the user can then select the relevant topic and it will play in 'DO IT' mode alongside the live application from the screen in which the help was requested (i.e. the topic will only run from the point in which the user asked for help).
Kindly help me to activate the support link in UPK 3.5.1
Hi All,
Could anyone please help me on this?
What's your problem? What have you done so far, and what errors are you seeing?

Chapter 3Mature
Andromeda was exhausted. The past few days have been absolutely exhausting, she had been running around from town to town to town searching for a specific ingredient to fix up her house after the last concoction had somehow exploded, leaving her with a house to fix and lots and lots of potion residue to clean up. Sadly, cleaning up after her own messes was something she was not an expert in; but she did know how to do it via spell. She just needed that ingredient: the root of the Celosia flower. It didn't grow anywhere else but in the small town of Aegis, but sadly, instead of being told that, she was told that it was sold in every other town but Aegis. Andromeda finally found the flower after she underwent trial after trial to get the flower, only to realize that the flower she had done so much for was the wrong flower.
Now, she was home and all she wanted to do was sleep. If only sleep came that easily when one's bed was caked in potion residue. After she peeled off her covers and tossed them in the hamper with the rest of the potion covered items, then plopped onto her bed. Just as all of her muscles were beginning to relax, there was a frantic pounding at her door. Was it Milintica? Dear god she hoped not. She was not ready to handle any of his emotional problems right now, or was she ready to have any physical contact. Then again, Milintica never really pounded her front door frantically.
After a minute of praying that they'd assume that no one was home and would go away, she forced herself to her feet; feeling her muscles protest. "I'm coming!" she snapped, grumbling some incoherent words to herself. When she opened the door, she expected to see some frantic, lost traveler terrified by the beasts in the forest, but instead, she saw a blonde girl, a few years younger than her, with her hair in a mess, dirt and bruises on her face. She was about ready to slam the door in her face until she saw her eyes. They were a blue green, but despite that, they reminded her of Milintica's eyes. "Eliana?" she said incredulously.
"M-Mili told me that you can help me." She panted, her eyes wide and obviously afraid. "Please, help. Th-They took him." Eliana looked absolutely exhausted and in pain. When Andromeda moved to herd her inside, she jerked back and then passed out.
Andromeda cursed. "For the love of Diarmuid." She mumbled, rubbing her temples. She looked around, making sure that no one was around before she held had out her hands and muttered, "Aklaiden." And watched as the girl slowly rose maybe five feet of the ground. Andromeda waved her hand and gently set her down on her sofa. "Now, to figure out what's wrong with you." She grumbled, kneeling. Andromeda held out her hands with her palms facing down and started to chant softly.
Ouch. Andromeda thought, seeing the bruises and the burns and the electrical damage that was done from someone casting a very powerful spell. She started to hum softly, feeling her magic do its thing and heal her ever so slightly. It wasn't going to completely heal her, but it would at least take the pain away and speed the healing process up-which should have been doing that already. When she was done, Andromeda decided to get something to prepare some tea and figure out what was happening.
Milintica had been taken. That was simple enough. But how and what had happened? He had always been very careful and always did things to ensure that they were safe. She knew that. After a few seconds, she frowned. He often told her that Eliana was defiant, and didn't listen; it would make sense that she did something. Either way, she needed to get him out. Lamia would easily kill Milintica without a second thought, especially upon knowing that he was one of the last in the Flintix line.
What happened to the three houses? They all lived in harmony, all of them. The Flintixs, the Diarmuids, and the Bacias. She sighed, pushing back some of her dark brown hair. It was because everyone got power hungry. The Diarmuids became the family that was well-known for being able to kill someone without hesitating, the Flintixs became the royal family-well, they had always been the royal family. Lastly, was the Bacias, there was only one left, and that was Lamia. The Bacias had become power crazy, they wanted to move on from the bottom to the top. So, she rallied up some bottom feeders and killed off bits and pieces of the Diarmuids, the Flintixs.
Andromeda thought that Lamia let some of them live for a specific reason, just so she could gloat. Well, that's what she thought when she let some of the Diarmuids live, when Lamia demanded that some of her family members become her personal assassins. "Where am I?" Eliana asked, slowly sitting up. Andromeda quickly poured her a cup of tea and went over to her. She handed her the cup and sat down.
"Drink it, it should help the soreness." Andromeda told her, Eliana looked at her warily before taking a very reluctant sip of the tea. "You'll get used to the taste. Now, what happened?" she asked, still trying to piece together what had happened to Milintica. Eliana took a deep breath, pushing back some of her hair behind her ear and started to talk.
Once she had finished her explanation Andromeda had sunk into the sofa. "You do realize what this means, right?" she questioned the blonde. Eliana looked at her and shook her head. "You gave Lamia the right to crucify him in front of everyone." She mumbled, already picturing how Lamia would tarnish the Flintix name.
Eliana's blue green eyes widened. "What?! No! We have to get him back. He-He…" she trailed furiously wiping at her eyes to push the tears back. "Milintica didn't do anything. He's Mili, he hates hurting people." She breathed shakily, not really meeting Andromeda's eyes. "If he gets put up there as the bad guy, Lamia will have a really hard time doing that."
Andromeda shrugged. "She got people to kill your family. She can create him into becoming the bad guy." She told her blatantly. Lamia was a lot of things, sadly, being persistent and very good with her words, was one of them. After a quick inspection, Andromeda frowned. Best not to swarm her with too much information at the moment. She hadn't done the big sister thing in a while, so she wasn't really sure what to say at this point. Awkwardly, Andromeda leaned over and squeezed her knee. "Why don't you go get cleaned up? The bathroom is down the hall, second door on the left, I'll get you some clothes." They were about the same size, right? She started to get up.
Eliana looked at her. "What about Mili?" she demanded, trying to jump onto her feet. In a minute, she dropped back into her seat like a dead weight. "Bad idea." She said, sounding as if she was in a daze. Eliana rested her hand on her head and slowly leaned against the back of the sofa.
"Take your time. It might take me a while to find some clothes that might fit." Andromeda stated, biting down a chuckle. "Finish the tea. It actually does help. Once you're done with your shower, I might have some food for you." If I'm done cleaning up my room. She added mentally. Andromeda gently patted her blonde head and went into to her room.
After about an hour or two, Andromeda started dinner. She didn't really know what she liked or didn't like, so she played it safe and went with barley soup. While that started to cook, she sighed and decided to try and contact her brother. After all, he was one of Lamia's best assassins. She got a wooden bowl and filled it up with water. She held her hand out, palms facing upwards and started to mentally visualize her brother.
"What do you want?" a voice said, the water bubbling as he spoke. He sounded grumpy. She figured that she caught him at a bad time. Probably had a girl in his room. "You have the worst timing in the world." Definitely had a girl in his room.
She chuckled. "I need you to come over. Like now. We have an issue." She said, hoping that her brother would listen to her for once. There was an unhappy sigh. "Or maybe when you're done sleeping with that floozy."
"No need to be rude. I'll see if I can get there soon. I have business to attend." That was a lie. The next thing she heard was the awkward gurgle of water which only meant that he had cut the connection. Andromeda let out a frustrated groan. Why must he make everything so damn difficult? She knew that she wasn't going to have her brother come to her house without some form of external use.
Her mind wandered to Eliana. He did always like blondes. No! That was not a good idea. Eliana was coping with her brother's kidnapping, and being tortured. She was not going to put her through that. That was not going to be an option. Andromeda would have to go and drag her brother back by his ears-which was fun admittedly. She sighed, "But that would mean that I'd have to leave her alone. That's a worse idea." Her house would be left unprotected, then Lamia could find her, well, could find Eliana. They could both go into the village, but Eliana might attract attention-she was still wanted after all.
"Something on your mind?" Eliana's soft voice knocked her out of her thoughts. She looked over at the younger girl and saw that she was wearing some of Andromeda's older clothes-she did fit-and was drying her hair with a towel. "Can I do anything to help?" when Andromeda attempted to wave her away, Eliana shot her a glare. "I can help."
Andromeda shook her head, "I'm not going to ask you to do that." She stated, placing the food on the table. "I made soup, I figured it'd be easier to eat." She added.
"Well, you never know whether or not I'll say no to the idea. So, explain it to me." Eliana challenged, plopping down into an empty seat. She shot her a challenging look before raising her eyebrow. Andromeda shook her head and sat down but Eliana continued. "If I have to do something that you won't think I'd do in order to get Mili back, you're wrong. I'll do anything." She asserted, making eye contact. She is very much like a Flintix. Andromeda thought dryly.
"I'm not going to ask you do that." Andromeda stated. "I will just find a way to get him over here." She grumbled, forcing food into her mouth. Maybe if she just continued to stuff her face, and ignore Eliana's rants, she'll stop. If only things were that easy.
Eliana scoffed. "This is my brother." She said slowly. "I will do anything to get him back. Now, tell me your plan."
Andromeda chuckled. "You certainly do have the Flintix fire. Just like your parents and your brother." The blonde paled slightly. She could hear her words that were caught in her throat, "You knew my parents?" Andromeda yawned, wanting to finish her soup. "I will tell you the plan and anything you want to know about your family after dinner." She held up her bowl of soup.
She pouted before falling against the back of her chair. "Fine." She mumbled, before unhappily eating her soup. "Is this plan at least a good plan?" she questioned.
Andromeda decided not to answer, instead, she said, "Soup. The soup is really good, don't you think?" she raised an eyebrow and waited for Eliana to nod or do something. Patience was always a problem with Milintica, she supposed that he passed the trait down onto Eliana. Then again, it was a continuous family trait. Oh Hestia, give me strength. And I apologize for putting your daughter in danger. She thought, finishing her soup and getting another bowl.
Eliana seemed to have finished her food. When she saw Andromeda reach for the ladle, she let out a groan. "Come on! Milintica is sitting in a cell by now, and you're sitting here, eating soup."
"You drink soup."
"Tell me the damn plan."
"Enjoy my soup first and then I'll tell you the plan." Andromeda said, trying to keep her temper even. She forgot what it was like to babysit someone who didn't want to be there. No, she forgot what it was like to babysit a child.
"Or you can just tell me the damn plan."
She sighed, trying not to think of the water molecules in the soup boiling. Andromeda took a deep breath. "Or you can enjoy the soup, relax, heal, and I will tell you." Eliana opened her mouth to say more, but her stomach growled. "Will you look at that? Even your stomach is telling you to enjoy the damn soup." Andromeda said, raising her hand and watching as some of the soup became a floating bowl and plopped into Eliana's bowl, getting it everywhere. When she heard the blonde gasp and jump out of her seat, Andromeda smirked and raised her eyebrow.

War Is Hell
In Theater LaB's Houston premiere of Barrymore, playwright William Luce travels back to 1942, six months after the attack on Pearl Harbor stunned and enraged the United States. Famed actor John Barrymore, now entering the twilight of his life, schemes to resurrect his career from its own twilight. His big comeback will be in the form of a reprisal of his starring role in Richard III. Though his return is important to him, he is ever aware of the bigger issues around him: his drinking, his career worries and, moreover, the eve of a world war.
Heavy stuff, sure, but this is a strikingly comedic one-man show, starring Houston's reigning theatrical father figure, Charles Krohn. Director Jimmy Phillips says audiences shouldn't read too much into any similarities between the play's subject matter and current events. "Barrymore was interested in his own demons," he says. "While the play takes place at the outbreak of World War II, I don't think any parallels can be drawn to the current war." At one point, Barrymore does regale the audience with an anecdote on how he and W.C. Fields attempted to enlist with the military's "Home Defense." Thankfully, that's as neopolitical as the story gets. Show opens at 8 p.m. Runs through February 18. 1706 Alamo. For tickets and showtimes, call 713-868-7516 or visit www.theaterlabhouston.com. $20.

House is located on a well travelled road that leads to a lighthouse...a good walk. There was a pretty and restful view from the back of the home with a big yard facing the harbor. The Rental Owner's interaction on arrival was through a telephone call we made to him(doors were unlocked) and the owner's daughter. He had to be absent from the state during our stay.To list a few problems of this dog friendly home may be helpful to understand the "overall experience" rating consideration.There was no King Bed as listed.The hide-a-bed in living room may have been king.All furniture was well used. Many essential, advertised items were in disrepair: Clothes washer operated only in one cycle,dryer was inoperable,microwave lacked a turntable,only one worn blanket present in linen closet for three beds,mostly threadbare towels/linen, no towel bars in bathrooms(actually there was one still attached to a wall),one lamp in each bedroom(one was inoperable), the one floor lamp in living room had shade attached via a rope. The vacuum cleaner full and inoperable with no instructions,lower tray in dishwasher lacked wheels and sometime prior to our visit had chipped most of the dinnerware.We purchased a set for our use.Late model TVS(living room and MBR) and excellent cable service was present, although we did not use on this vacation. One evening two coyotes were viewed near the shoreline of the property which reminded us of our Southern California experiences where they walk the streets looking for food(thus, the walled homes).No directions were available for all appliances including stove,fireplace and no reference literature available for local merchants,restaurants, stores,laundromats etc.There were no privacy curtains for all of the windows including the bathrooms and finally, there was no key available for the doors with only a garage door opener offered.
Loved the harbor view and loved the local restaurants and seafood. Rockland merchants were all welcoming and pleasant. During our week's stay the weather was wonderful.
My family and I have been coming to Maine for the past 15 years. The property on Samoset Road provided us with one of the most enjoyable vacations we've had to-date. The home is very comfortable and the single-story layout was a huge plus for my wife for suffers from MS and struggles with multi-story homes. The views of Rockland harbor and nearby Owl's Head were unbelievable and the expansive backyard provided ample space for games (and the occasional deer sighting around dusk). Beyond the views, I don't think you can beat the location when you consider you are less than 5 minutes from the grocery store and Samoset Resort, a must see for any golfer.
On a more personal note, the owner helped my family out with a very unfortunate situation on our original rental in downtown Rockland. He was able to accommodate our request on very short notice and was quick to address any needs we had to make our trip more comfortable. As a frequent visitor to Maine, I would highly recommend either of his properties on Samoset Road if you truly want to enjoy coastal Maine as it is meant to be.
This was a nice house. Fantastic location, walking distance to the lighthouse and on a great street. The view was gorgeous and the rental was easy. I would highly recommend this property and would rent here again if I am in the area.
This was a great house to rent and a wonderful location. Walking distance to lighthouse and nice street with beautiful views. The rental was easy and I highly recommend this property and would rent again if I am in the area.
My wife, our daughter and her husband and his sister used this place to put 1700 miles on our rental car in 10 days exploring Maine from Bar Harbor to Portland and all the way up to Baxter State Park.What a nice place and the home inside was great. The view in back was awesome and the food in Rockland was very good. Thanks Chris for letting us use your home.
First let me say that our stay at this house was one of our best trips to Maine! We have been visiting the Rockland area for several years, and we always make a point to rent from this owner. Mr. Nolan, his wife, and family are the most hospitable and kind people one could ever meet.
The accommodations were impeccable! We had everything we needed for the ultimate vacation. Everything in the house was spotless and in perfect working order. We felt at home there! The house is located on a quiet street but easily accessible and only minutes away from grocery stores, shopping, and downtown Rockland. The backyard offers a tranquil view of Rockland's working harbor, and the historical Breakwater Lighthouse is within walking distance.
As an added bonus, Mr. Nolan is very knowledgeable of the area and was kind and helpful in offering the local perspective on delicious places to eat and must see attractions. We look forward to returning to the Rockland area and THIS house for years to come!

A former soldier who sold information to a newspaper has been told he will escape charges if he makes a payment of £150 to a charity connected with the armed services.
The CPS said that in accepting the conditional caution, the former soldier accepts responsibility for the offence.
Gregor McGill, a senior lawyer at the Crown Prosecution Service, said, "In November 2013, the CPS received a file concerning an allegation against one individual, a former soldier, of misconduct in public office.
"The individual has been conditionally cautioned in relation to the disclosure of information in return for payment from a newspaper, the condition being that he must make a payment of £150 to a charity connected with the armed services. In accepting a conditional caution, an individual accepts responsibility for the offending set out."
The file was sent to the CPS by detectives working in Scotland Yard's Operation Elveden investigation into unlawful payments to public officials from newspapers for leaks.

4. The SchoolMature
My mum was the one to take me to the openf day. She didn't find it at all strange that I might accept the invitation to attend the Lupin Scuela Academy for Selected Students: she whole-heartedly encouraged the seizure of this, as she phrased it, special opportunity. I was very curious to see what kind of schooling a Moon Child received and, also, slightly embarrassingly, excited to see Lor.
In any case, it would be nice to see Edward again, and interesting to find out his reason for disliking the Alpha which he hadn't been able to say in the company of my dad.
I even looked forward to seeing Teritt.
When we arrived, by car, at the address that had been given on the reverse of the invitation, I was astounded by the building the Academy claimed to be housed in. It was nothing less than a mansion. My mum beamed with pride: she evidently thought that the invitation to attend this school was an indication that someone had recognised my 'academic talent' (the term she gave to my consistently good grades and shining reports). She parked on the surface of small white stones in front of the large house and together we walked up the central staircase on the exterior of the building to a pair of double glass doors.
There stood a tall, middle-aged woman with long, straight blonde hair and sparkling blue eyes, dressed in a cream suit, the skirt of which reached down to her knees.
"Good morning," she said warmly, offering my mum a hand which she took and shook, smiling back.
"I'm Lindsay Steel," the woman said. "I'm the deputy head teacher at Lupin Scuela. Our headmaster Mr Ironclaw would be here if it weren't for some terribly important business that cropped up at the last minute. I hope you understand?"
I felt sure the woman was lying but Mum seemed taken in by her and replied, "Of course, Ms Steel. I'm Andrea Howler, Penny's mother."
"Oh, do just call me Lindsay," Ms Steel said charmingly. She smiled at me. "Hello, Penny. You've met Ed, Teritt and Lor, I believe."
As if on cue, the three boys appeared, Ed and Teritt smiling but Lor, surprisingly, looking a little bored. Teritt winked so I didn't pay too much attention to the fact that Lor wasn't pleased to see me but I felt a small pang of sadness because of it. Perhaps I had daydreamed our near kiss at my front door.
"Yes, I've met them," I confirmed.
"Well, I shall show your mother around and the boys will give you a pupil's insight into life here at Lupin Scuela."
Lindsay led my mother into the entrance hall beyond the doors.
"So now you have to choose who you want to take you around," Edward said, grinning.
I glanced at Lor but he looked as if there were somewhere else he'd much rather be so I didn't say anything. I looked at Teritt and decided to ease the tension I felt by teasing him a little. In a hushed voice I said, "Well, I was hoping I could choose Edward. You wouldn't mind the two of us touring the school alone together, would you?"
I winked. Beside me I heard Edward stifle a chuckle.
Teritt's expression was mild.
"If you want to die a long and painful death, sure you can take Edward away from me."
Acting purely on impulse, I quickly took Edward's hand.
"Quick - we might be able to get away before he gets the chance," I said, pulling him in through the doorway.
Once inside the brightly lit room I let go, blushing. I worried I had gone too far.
"I'm sorry," I told Edward - "was that too much?"
Edward's expression was kind and empty of shock and disgust.
"Nah. I think it's great you feel so at ease around us. But you might not want to do that too much since Teritt will start being possessive of me."
Teritt walked in, eyeing me in mock (I hoped) wariness.
"Yeah - leave him alone, Penny."
I blushed more deeply.
"Don't feel you've done something wrong," Edward told me. "I personally love your bold casualness. In face, Moon Children are meant to be bold. And wolves are social creatures - anything other than casualness would make interaction awkward. So you're okay."
"You know it's not bold casualness," Teritt said, his tone weary. He almost sounded like an old man. "Darling, she's flirting with you."
"I'm not!" I said, surprised and anxious that Teritt hated me. I hesitated, my worry deepening. "Am I?"
Teritt laughed. "Ha! That'll teach you not to mess around with a gay guy's property."
Edward rolled his eyes.
"I'm sorry, Penny," he said. "He gets competitive when people involve me in their jokes."
"It's fine," I muttered, looking at the ground which was made of beautiful white marble; my cheeks felt like they were on fire. "I'll stop."
"You don't have to do that. Teritt, apologise," Edward said sternly.
Deliberately to Edward, Teritt said, "I am sorry, my beloved almost-fiancé. I have wronged you muchly. Tonight I shall ..."
I looked up alarmed as Edward cried "Teritt!", looking absolutely mortified.
"Are you ashamed of me, oh Divine One of the Night?"
"Teritt!" Edward was so embarrassed that he didn't stop to consider his next sentence. "You can't just talk about our sex li-...!" He stopped as he realised, and his cheeks slowly turned crimson.
I looked away, also blushing.
Teritt roared with laughter.
"Ed! Oh, Ed! You said the word 'sex'! In female company! When you're about the most polite guy in the world! Oh heavens! That's hilarious!"
"I think we should start the tour," Edward mumbled, sounding very discomfited.
"Are you sure?" Teritt asked, and when I looked back he appeared to have composed himself. "Perhaps she wants to know more."
"Oh, don't," I said passionately, seeing how shamefaced Edward looked.
Teritt frowned, evidently also noticing his lover's distress.
"Darling, you know I'm just teasing, right? No one's really offended by one, silly, word. I'm just immature: you know that."
Edward made himself look small and sad. I guessed that he was playing his feelings up to punish Teritt since no gentleman, however polite, would be affected to that extent.
Teritt crossed his arms.
"I'm not stupid."
Ed sighed, his expression normal again.
"I know you're not. I just wish you wouldn't torture our friends like this."
Teritt sighed and reluctantly turned to me, saying, "Sorry, Penny."
Edward turned to me. "I'm sorry, too. I guess I know that Teritt's right but it still feels like I shouldn't talk about ... well, you know, in front of other people."
"You don't need to apologise," I told him. "You're just being polite. Nothing wrong with that."
Ed smiled. "Shall we get on with your tour, then?"
"Sure," I replied. As we began the walk down the surprisingly long corridor leading out of the entrance hall, I asked, "What happened to Lor?"
"He didn't want to kiss you in public?" Teritt suggested.
"Really?" I asked, startled. After seeing Lor's look of utter boredom earlier I had convinced myself that my mind had lied to me last Sunday.
"Didn't you know that he liked you?" Edward asked, regarding me curiously.
"Well, I thought he might," I said slowly. "But he confused me today. Why wasn't he happy to see me?"
"Ah, he's good at covering up his feelings. Plus, he's never really bouncy. But his feelings are always intense underneath that quiet exterior. Do you like him too?"
"I- yes," I said hesitantly.
Edward smiled. In the next moment the hallway opened out into a wide space at the back of the house.
"Right, here we are: first stop," he said.
I gazed around. The only features of this room were the staircases leading to the left and the right of the next storey, the balconies on either side of it, the blue wallpaper rising as high as the midpoint of each staircase and the roof, no ceiling below it, three or four floors above us.
"Wow," I murmured, having never seen a space like this in a house.
"This is the gallery," Edward said. "Here, exhibitions take place - of art..." The hasty addition was a response to the broadening of a cheeky grin on Teritt's face; "concerts, speeches, plays: even talks from famous authors or actors. The audience (usually the students) line the staircase banisters to watch."
"Do you remember that game we played here once, Ed?" Teritt asked musingly.
"If you're talking about that time you got me drunk, shut up now. Penny really doesn't want to hear that kind of thing."
"But she's straight," Teritt pointed out. "Straight girls love to hear what guys get up to in their spare time."
"Where on earth did you get that impression?" I asked, laughing.
"Oh, I must just have met really curious girls," Teritt said, looking shameless.
"Would I be right in saying that they generally lost that curiosity once you'd indulged them?" Edward asked.
"Certainly," Teritt answered. "They had no need of it once I'd told them the story."
Edward's mouth twitched.
"I meant, did they show further curiosity when you'd indulged them once."
"Some did," Teritt replied. "Some girls really enjoy imagining it, I'm sure. Our sexuality has no effect on theirs."
Edward drew Teritt aside. I deliberately stared fixedly at the wall but I heard him whisper "But love, ... wouldn't you prefer our relationship to be secretive?"
I heard a sharp intake of breath and I guessed Edward had done something very sexy.
"Okay," Teritt said, sounding a little like a zombie but more like he was excited.
The pair walked back over to me.
"Penny," Edward called.
I turned to see that he was smiling ruefully at me.
"You okay?" he asked.
"Yeah," I replied. "I'm good."
"I was going to have to do that at some point," he told me confidentially: "he just refuses to stop."
"Oh, don't worry," I said, waving a hand dismissively, though inside my heart was fluttering for some reason I didn't dare ponder over. Unwittingly I found myself thinking about the way Edward had talked to Teritt and how the latter had responded. Unconsciously I wondered if it wasn't shy, gentle, kind Edward who had more control in the relationship and considered that Teritt's sometimes possessive attitude was perhaps a façade for when they were in public.
"So, we have to take the left staircase because the other leads to the girls' rooms and the boys aren't allowed in that area." He led me to the crimson-carpeted one (I received the impression of a river of blood pouring down it) and began to ascend, saying, "This leads to the boys' bedrooms."
I glanced back at the other stairs which were carpeted in midnight black before following.
Teritt, who was following a little ways behind me, never took his eyes off of Edward. When we arrived at the top I heard him murmur, "The bedroom corridor."
Edward glanced at him sympathetically.
"Want to have a lie down while I continue the tour, love?" he asked.
"No!" Teritt asked, alarmed. "I'm not tired, sir: I was thinking about what we do before we go to sleep."
"You don't need to call me 'sir'," Edward said gently. "And you can't think of that sort of thing because Penny's here."
"Actually, you overpowered my will," Teritt said quietly, "and I can't help thinking of 'that sort of thing' because I can only see you."
"Look, shall I try to find Lor?" I asked, and before Edward could reply, I was striding down the corridor. Each door that branched off to the right had a small wooden plaque on it - queerly reminiscent of those on memorial benches at the park.
I passed two doors before I reached Lor's. The plaques on those read 'Edward and Teritt' and 'Donald and David'. The one indicating that the room was Lor's read 'Lorenzo'. I was surprised at the revelation that his name was Spanish.
Bravely I knocked on the door.
There was a rather frightening snarl. I stepped back.
Luckily, Lor appeared in human form. He looked furious. But on seeing me, his expression turned to one of amusement.
"Why, hello there, Penny."

Reflections on Memory and Imagination
Allen Lane 2013
Hardback 139pp Illustrated
9781846146831   Product Code: 10900
After a lifetime of meticulously researched historical writing on the Nazi regime and the Holocaust, Otto Dov Kulka finally confronts his personal experience of Auschwitz, where he was incarcerated as a child. In ten transcribed tape recordings, he reconstructs its topography, its routines and - in vivid flashes - scenes whose absurdity and strangeness say more than any objective description could. This profoundly important testimony comes as close as is perhaps possible to describing the indescribable.

Easy To Get To The Casino. Hard To Get Out. Here Is Why
There once was a day when you had to jet to Las Vegas or Atlantic City to gamble. Gamble legally, that is.
Now there seems to be a casino within a short drive no matter where you live. With more casinos proposed.
Getting to the casino is the easy part. Getting out is hard.
There is more to a casino than meets the eye. A lot of thought went into the design of the room and the way the machines are set up. The plan is to get you inside.... and keep you there.
The longer you stay, the more you spend.
It is designed that way.
See how, here.

File Number 0 9:
File Number 0 0 0 9 – Project : Planet Earth (Experiment number 7 8, 2 5 4, 0 0 9)
The Short History of Ezhno Inzet
Name: Ezhno Inzet
Age: 19
Job: A space geek and a researcher for Nasa
Looks: His hair is medium length and he has a fringe parted in the middle. It's light brown and paired with his dull brown eyes and slightly tanned skin. He isn't all that tall and is conscious about his height but not obsessive about it. He is rather plump, but not overly so. When working, he wears formal gear such as suits and the like, but when he is in casual dress, he is impossible to get away from cartoon t-shirts and slogan shirts paired with jeans and a hoodie thrown on top.
Traits: He has always been alone and wants nothing more than human companionship. Sadly, his social skills are appalling and he has never been able to find a group of people he has been able to fit in with. He has an addition to chewing gum and has some on his person at all times. He has always buried his head in books and slowly taught himself to read, eventually moving on to scientific studies and the like. The other children at the orphanage treated him as an outsider, no matter how hard he tried to have the same interests and get along with the other children. Eventually he gave up, seeking instead someone who had the same interests and beliefs as he does.
Further Background Notes: Ezhno is one of three in a small, specialist department in Nasa's headquarters. He worked hard to get where he is now with no head start or anything going for him. He loves his life and the only thing more he wishes for is companionship and one person to spend the rest the of his life with. Due to his lack of social skills, he has only two friends and he clings to them more than anything else. He would give everything up to have a family and friends. In his mind, love is greater than insight and ingenuity. As he can only access the power of his mind, he has to make do and dream about another life in which he has everything he wishes for.
His childhood was lonely and empty. Instead of being able to laugh and play with the other children in the orphanage, he had to continue to imagine what his life could be like if he had parents, or if he had social skills, or if he wasn't clever. There were so many possibilities that he grew to despise his intellect and used it only because he wanted something to grow from it. He worked out that if he made a breakthrough in science, he would finally have the attention and praise he constantly searched for, no matter what he did.
No matter what he did, he couldn't find companionship in any form. Adults disliked him for his intellect and his power to be able to baffle everyone with a sentence, and the other children hated him for his inability to adapt to how they wanted to play and laugh. As a result of this mistreatment, Ezhno craved attention and friendship more than anything else.
Nobody is sure of Ezhno's origin. When he was left on the orphanage doorstep with only the protective clothing on his body, the blanket, basket he was left in and a necklace with a locket on, he was a mystery to the people who ran the orphanage. They didn't know what protocol to follow or how to react because it isn't common for children to just be left outside in the smog while the parent or parents run off.
Ezhno found out about the space programme and decided to get the department on board with the help of the other two. His idea was that they would be able to bond and he might form better friendships with them.

Paris St-Germain's raid on AC Milan is complete.
Days after adding centerback Thiago Silva, the club has finalized the purchase of mercurial striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic from the Rossoneri, according to Italian publication Gazzetta Dello Sport.
Current PSG sporting director and former AC Milan player and coach Leonardo told the outlet that the signing, which has been in the works for the last week, is complete. Ibrahimovic is expected to be introduced on Wednesday, and PSG has scheduled a press conference for the afternoon, according to the club's official website.
The signing is the latest in a landmark offseason for the big-spending French power, which landed Ezequiel Lavezzi from Napoli prior to signing Thiago Silva. Ibrahimovic, Serie A's leading scorer a season ago, is the biggest capture of them all as the Qatari-owned club tries to make good on its plan of becoming the next superpower in world soccer. The move also represents Ibrahimovic's first foray into France after career stops in his native Sweden, Holland, Italy and Spain.
U.S. soccer fans will be able to see the new-look club first-hand in the coming weeks, as PSG plays Chelsea at Yankee Stadium on July 22 before facing D.C. United at RFK Stadium on July 28.
What do you think of this development? Do you see PSG becoming a world power with their new acquisitions? Do you think Ibrahimovic will win Ligue 1's golden boot?
Share your thoughts below.
Great. I have a new team to hate.
Because of Milan selling their two best players to PSG it is almost a guarantee that PSG will win Ligue 1 and Juventus will win the Scudetto.
Very off topic but I am sure will interest at least a couple of people. I just noticed that Terence Boyd's Rapid Wien is playing right a friendly against AS Roma and the match is being streamed on the Internet. The game appears to still be in the first half.
"What do you think of this development? Do you see PSG becoming a world power with their new acquisitions? Do you think Ibrahimovic will win Ligue 1's golden boot?"
**I would say I am a bit annoyed. He is 30 right? So why is it that he gets the big name clubs talking about him and willing to spend money and his age is not mentioned. However, you have Dempsey who is a year or so younger….and one of the first things mentioned as to why a big name club (other then Liverpool with a US owner) is not knocking down his door is about how the big clubs are looking for the next big, but younger player, or a player already on a big squad. They just say that he is a bit old so clearly something like 5mill is about as much as you might want to pay for a transfer if he is even worth a shot because of his "age"…..yet players from England, Spain, France, Brazil or even Sweden dont seem to have the "age issue" unless they are 33, 34, etc. Do NOT get me wrong…it should be great for him and PSG..he is a massive talent…I just find it odd that the biggest issue keeping Dempsey from getting more CL looks that gets mentioned is his "age" while other big deals still take place for players at the same age or older..just not from the US (unless they are a goalie of course)
I love Dempsey but he is not on the level of someone like Zlatan. Zlatan has won league titles and scored vital goals everywhere he has played since leaving Sweden. Dempsey just had a great season but, he is not considered one of the great players playing in Europe.
Right in front of Michael.
that was an extreme case of patroitism
Remember that Zlatan is arguably one of the top 10 strikers over the past 5 years. Plus he has scored goals in the European championships. 2 goals in each of the past 3 tournaments. He's played for some of the biggest clubs in the world.
He's ZLATAN. Dempsey has been 1 of the best wingers for the past 2 years. But nothing compared to Zlatan. Dempsey has to score some goals at the next WC to really showcase to the world just how great he is.
It's all bias really. Against an American player. If he can move to Arsenal/Liverpool and play well, and if Bradley can do well at Roma, you can beat whenever teams go for someone like Brek Shea, they will come at him right and not give BS offers.
US soccer is growing and our players are being respected but it will take decades more until we have a true superstar who everyone respects.
Blah… one of my favorite players going to a league I'll never get to watch play, at least milan got some air time…
Zlatan. I would have loved to see you in England. To show the critics they're wrong about you. He needs to get on his A game for Sweden if they wanna make it to the next WC.
Old School
League titles are won by teams and I think you'd find a lot of people that feel Zlatan disappears in big competitions.
I think the point is at least he has been in a lot of big competitions, while Clint hasn't. Yes he is 30 but he is a veteran of the "big time". Clint, who is roughly the same age cannot match that experience.
It is possible that if you had replaced Zlatan with Clint everywhere Zlatan has been Clint would have done better but we will never be able to prove it will we?
And if you are the guy spending all that money for PSG on a new goal scorer to lead you to the promised land who do you think will be easier to sell to your bosses, Zlatan or Dempsey?

Oregon Tech Integrated Student Health Center is required by law* to ensure that all students have completed the Health History/Immunization and Tuberculosis Exposure Screening forms prior to their attendance of classes.
New Students: An electronic portal is now available for you to complete the required forms and upload the appropriate documentation. You access the portal through your MyOIT account (click on the "Student Resources" tab, then on "Student Health Portal".) Step-by-step instructions can be downloaded in the "File Downloads" section on this page.
Please be advised that failure to provide documentation of these immunization requirements by November 1st will result in a HOLD being placed on your account which will prevent you from registering for the following term.
Every student entering Oregon Tech born on or after January 1, 1957 and taking at least 6 on campus credits must show documented proof of immunity to Measles-Mumps-Rubella (MMR). To satisfy this requirement, you must have:
Tuberculosis (TB) is a potentially serious infectious disease that primarily affects your lungs. TB is spread from person to person through tiny droplets released into the air. If you answered YES to any of the questions on the Tuberculosis Exposure Screening Form, you must be screened for TB (through either a skin test, blood-work, or chest x-ray).
"Documentation" means you will need to provide a photocopy confirming the immunizations you have received. Your photocopied records should include your name, date of birth, the date the vaccine was given, and the clinic stamp or initials of the person who administered the immunization.
You may be able to get these records from:
To request your records from another school or physician, you will need to complete an Authorization for Release of Information form TO ISHC, which we have available on our website, if needed.
Please call 541.885.1800 for more information.
The ISHC offers immunizations and TB tests for those students who cannot locate appropriate
documentation or who have never been vaccinated.
Students may be exempted from the immunization requirements only if: 1) there is a documented medical condition preventing the immunization, or 2) the student has filed a Nonmedical Vaccine Exemption with ISHC. For medical exemptions, a signed statement from your health care provider is required; for your convenience, we have a form that your provider can complete on our Forms page. To file a Nonmedical Vaccine Exemption, the student must view the required Oregon Department of Public Health video and provided a signed Certificate of Completion to ISHC.
Please be aware that students who are granted an exemption are likely to be prohibited from campus by the Department of Public Health in the event of an outbreak and may not receive a financial refund or additional time to make up any missed coursework. For more information, please call 541.885.1800.
Although the following immunizations are not required by the state of Oregon for admission, ISHC does recommend that you consider getting immunized against the following diseases:
Td is a tetanus-diphtheria vaccine given to adolescents and adults as a booster shot every 10 years, or after an exposure to tetanus under some circumstances. Tdap is similar to Td but also containing protection against pertussis. A single dose of Tdap is recommended for adolescents 11 or 12 years of age, or in place of one Td booster in older adolescents and adults age 19 through 64.
Consistent with the American College Health Association (ACHA) recommendations, the ISHC recommends that in-coming students discuss vaccination for meningitis with their medical provider, contact their local public health agency, or inquire at the ISCH. For more information on ACHA recommendation and general meningitis information see their website: www.acha.org. Hepatitis A
A serious liver disease caused by the hepatitis a virus (HAV). HAV is usually spread by close personal contact. It can also be spread by eating food or drinking water containing HAV.
A serious liver infection caused by the hepatitis B virus (HBV). For some people, hepatitis B infection becomes chronic, leading to liver failure, liver cancer, or cirrhosis-a condition that causes permanent scarring of the liver.
A combined vaccination usually given as a series of 3 or 4 shots.
*This requirement is mandated by: Oregon Revised Statute 433.282, OAR 333-050-0130.

Chapter 7Mature
The vibrant glow of a metre-wide concave hyperLED monitor bathed the sleek IT workshop in a characteristic blend of RGB. It rested atop a chrome-tinted desk, perforated with ports for innumerable cables, wires and cords. Beside the massive screen stood a mighty supercomputer that any geek would sell their soul for - layered with a RAID6 configuration of cloud-mirrored storage drives, it hummed as coolant flowed through glimmering pipes. A vast array of multi-core processors calculated immense sums of data, with a deluge of information being processed and sorted effortlessly.
Moderately loud technoir played from a high-tech surround sound system, aimed precisely for the young hacker seated in the centre of the room. Akira hammered away on the glimmering microscreen keyboard's DVORAK layout. Not once looking down as he typed at over 120 words per minute, he filled his screen with code and commands and comments. The HEDSET perched on his right ear silently kept record of the data streaming into his field of vision, augmenting it with a translucent heads-up display over his right eye.
A mosaic of windows dotted toward the sides of the oversized monitor displayed a honeycomb of news feeds, social networks, messengers, and assorted data, statistics and information. Piled on top of a hefty and highly technical workload, one could be forgiven for expecting the young man to be overwhelmed by the onslaught of notifications and tasks. Instead, he was in the zone - a fish in water, attired in his version of quasi-respectable geek-chic businesswear.
Akira's lightning fingers punched the enter key conclusively. He interlaced his fingers, reclining in his black executive chair exultingly. It felt good to be back in the game, especially after the previous night's events. A prompt blinked into existence at the top of the screen. Akira smiled knowingly as he read the dialogue contained within. He was in.
The server farm he had infiltrated contained the business transactions, files, accounts, and every piece of data that the target company relied upon to run their business. And now it belonged to him. Swinging around to his auxiliary computer, a high-end laptop with a translucent screen, he ran a simulation of a customer accessing their accounts through the target servers.
His eyes flickered between the monitors as he checked that the systems had worked as planned. As the decoy attempted to transmit data to the compromised servers, it instead flowed through Akira's network, where he was at liberty to intercept, doctor or redirect it. Furthermore, so long as he was careful, Akira would not leave any clue that the communications were being hijacked - a flawless man in the middle attack.
"I've got you right where I want you", Akira remarked to his technological tools of the trade. With the target compromised, none of the information or secrets transported through the network were secure. If he wanted to, Akira could have used his new-found position at the helm of this network to steal every kind of confidential information that was foolishly left in the cracked system. If he wanted to.
Instead, Akira spun back around to his main console with a flair. Summoning vi, his text editor of choice, he began to write a damning report on the state of the company's IT system security. Pointing out the need for additional encryption measures and security redundancies, while also advising on added education for the users of the network at both ends of the system.
Akira recommended the implementation of asymmetric cryptography, where separate public and private data keys are utilized to encrypt and authenticate data. Surely if Akira could manage to teach himself the majority of his own IT abilities, a few hapless customers and admins could manage to learn cybersecurity 101.
A dull bleeping sound served as the fanfare for a notice blinking beneath Akira's security feed. Tucked to the bottom-left of his screen, the CCTV display collated a network of security cameras and sensors, outputting a reassuring visual feed of activity outside the discrete upstairs office and surrounding area. Akira figured that if The Establishment was going to try and watch him, he may as well watch back. "Proximity alert: lifeform detected" he joked to the audience of himself, swivelling slightly in his chair to take a closer look.
Akiranet was located in a discrete, standalone two-story office, constructed of cheap concrete and cold steel. Tall stripes of one-way glass provided a modernist façade, which greeted anyone approaching with a dozen reflections of themselves, bathed in green neon lighting from above. As a small but otherwise unremarkable central city building, the physical address of Akiranet was easily overlooked - a perfect lair for an operation that worked mostly online. The entranceway alcove beneath Akira's upstairs office was down a short alley - tucked behind a for-lease shop front; largely away from casual passers-by. The few customers that shunned teleconferencing and showed up in person usually had more than simple business to discuss.
Yet the approaching lifeform who had been detected was not a client Akira recognised. Respectably dressed in a navy blazer over a pale blue shirt and black dress pants, the man approached the entranceway gingerly - even Akira could tell his confidence could fail at any moment. Akira was used to social ineptitude amongst his clientele, however this tall, copper-haired stranger projected an air of tension that only served to betray his trepidation.
With his curiousity stoked, Akira ensnared the approaching man's image within his security feed, storing the data gathered away for later reference. "What could this guy want? Is he truly alone or acting on behalf of some group? And why does he seem so nervous?" Akira muttered under his breath as he typed up a couple quick notes regarding this newcomer. It never hurt to do a little research about your clients, especially if your work potentially strays into murky territory.
Identity recognition systems were a handy tool that big brother and the megacorps had utilized for years, ostensibly in the name of protecting the public and providing better services. However, the potential for such systems to be used to suppress dissent and invade privacy left many targets and even users uneasy. It's not the tech that matters - it's the user and the use. Akira reminded himself as he set up the software to cross-reference the results with social networks, news reports and criminal records.
"This Akiranet?" came a gruff question from the man downstairs, transmitted through the intercom provided outside the locked front door. The lack of rising intonation to indicate that this was a question (albeit a rhetorical one) made the statement seem almost accusatory, but such was this man's southern burr dialect.
Akira, leaving his computer system to undertake the identity recognition process, tapped his HEDSET to activate his intercom mic. "Unless my sign's learned how to troll," he replied light-heartedly, then asked "What can I do for ya?" waiting to see what this well-dressed young man wanted from him and his one-man IT business.
"They reckon you're one o' the best," continued the bloke, who had taken to leaning his back against the wall within the alcove the door was nestled in. He seemed oblivious to the fact that one of the best had been watching him for the past minute, and was in the process of compiling a dossier of online information about him.
One of the best? He's half right. Akira mused swaggeringly, tapping his fingers idly upon his desk. Not only was he a self-taught computer prodigy with a promising career in cybersecurity, his exploits as a hacker were renowned - or rather they would be if he had ever been definitively caught or traced. But which of his personae was in question here?
"I need someone to give me a hand with... something." The ambiguity in the man's rugged words implied he was looking for the legally grey side of Akira's skills: the hobby, not the profession. "Name's Keith. Can I come in?"
Akira considered the name for a moment. Were any of his clients named Keith? Any of the guys who lived online behind aliases and nicknames? This was the first he'd heard of it. "Alrighty, I'll be street-level in a nano." Akira conceeded, spun lightly atop his swivelling executive chair and bounded onto his metallic-trimmed leather boots. He strode from his workshop - humming with electricity and cooling fans and illuminated by bytes of LEDs - closing a secure door behind him. It locked automatically, waiting for the input of both a keycode and a near-field-communication with Akira's cyPhone before it could reopen. It paid to be security-conscious in this profession, especially with a mostly-unknown client at the door.
Unlocking the entrance downstairs, Akira pushed open the front door just wide enough to get a good look at the man outside. He was young - a few years out of high school - and somewhat pasty, as if his deep red hair had leached the colour from his skin. Akira noted he was slim and trim, apparently possessing the fitness level for a particularly active job - unlike his own. Keith was also rather tall - but so were most people when seen from Akira's modest height. "The name's Akira - but you probably figured that out. Come on in"
Akira led Keith away from the entrance, past the stairs, and into a cosy conference room, replete with water cooler, comfy seats and a sleek white metallic office table. Seating himself at the head of the table, Akira swiped a rhombic triacontahedron puzzle from the tabletop and began working at it intently. As his charge took a seat opposite, Akira looked up and mooted that "Now's as good a time as any. What's this something you mentioned?"
Keith looked around in apparent discomfort before taking in breath. With a pause of reluctance, he carefully explained "I'm lookin' for justice. You familiar with any of the rumours of police corruption?"
Akira stopped mid-turn of his puzzle, his eyebrow raised behind his HEDSET - corruption was certainly something that piqued his interest and grabbed his attention. "Sure - I'm not living in a cave. Sometimes cops will confiscate drugs and turn around and use or sell them themselves. Other times they might turn a blind eye to the gangs and let them fight each other - an enemy of my enemy is my frenemy. Some might blackmail people into doing them favours - sexual, violent, financial, whatever. Management might take bribes or misappropriate funds, or lobby on behalf of vested interests who offer them kickbacks. That the kind of thing you're talking about?"
Keith appeared to agree, with a hint of embarrassment - or perhaps disappointment. "Indeed." He shifted slightly in the ergonomic chair he'd claimed earlier, before continuing "But this goes further than that." He leant towards the tech expert to hit his point home, implying the confidentiality of what he was about to say. "I have reason to believe that the police have covered up a murder"
A drop of water dripped from the water cooler in the corner. Inanimate fake houseplants stood sentry in silence. The seriousness of this allegation filled the room like a crushing haze, as the intense green eyes of Keith were finally met by Akira's usually facetious brown ones. "That's a hell of a thing to believe, Keith. I don't trust cops - or any authority for that matter - as far as I can throw them, but this... " His surprise was writ large across his face, in spite of his earlier familiarity with police corruption.
"Yep. It's a big deal alright, but I wouldn't be here if I didn't have reason to believe it." Keith sat back upright, placing his hands upon the table. "I'll give you the details. Nearly a year ago, Stuart Stenmoore died in a car accident." He sighed. "The police reckon he'd been drinking, was speeding, and missed a corner on a cliff-top road. The crash killed him instantly." He gritted his teeth, otherwise keeping his features a mask of stoicism.
"I reckon they got that wrong. Stuart never touched alcohol. He'd never gotten a speeding ticket. At the site of the crash..." He reached inside a shirt pocket and withdrew a set of hard-copy images, depicting tyre marks on concrete. "These tyre tracks from the scene," He indicated the first photograph "look more like they came from a car being shunted aside than from one that just missed a corner."
The HEDSET Akira wore 14 hours a day recognised the photographs and automatically duplicated them to memory, while Akira pondered the situation he found himself in. He knew his strengths, and private investigation wasn't usually one of them. It began to dawn on him why this young man had presented himself and his case here of all places - even before Keith began to cryptically explain.
"I need someone to look into the investigation - see what they can find out. Try and figure out what's going on." His job description was becoming ever more vague - as if he didn't want to come out and say precisely what he wanted. Akira figured he must be crafting plausible deniability in case this whole thing backfired. He wouldn't be the first client to do so.
"Don't ask, don't tell, but get it done?" Akira picked up his half-solved puzzle and looked at the client questioningly.
"Yeah, nah - ya know?" Keith shrugged with the same ambiguous ambivalence he'd spoken with. He stopped short of winking and giving Akira a nudge, but the unwritten words were nonetheless clear as 500-point Helvetica: Keith needed someone with computer security skills to crack into the police network and expose anything incriminating related to the case of Stuart Stenmoore.
Akira spun another side of his 30-faced puzzle as he considered his options. He knew he couldn't allow himself to be traced, nor could he allow himself to be linked to Keith, nor should he allow Keith to be implicated in any legally grey matters - this man was likely already risking a lot just by being here and making these allegations, let alone insinuating that Akira should try and hack the police database - of all things. The safest thing for Akira to do would have been nothing, but a nagging feeling crept over his psyche - that he had been given another opportunity to expose something disturbing to the blinding light it deserved. His better judgement roared in protest, but the bait was irresistible.
"This aint going to be easy. If this has been covered up like you say, chances are that people want it to stay that way. Once you go down that rabbit hole, who knows where you'll end up." Akira warned, twisting and spinning his puzzle again and again.
"Indeed. It'll be a challenge, but I know it'll be worth it." Keith swore fervently, gathering his photos and then rising to his feet. "We have an understanding here?"
Akira considered the man across the table one last time, as he slid the final coloured tiles into their rightful place. Strait-laced and tidily groomed, Keith wore an antiquated analog pocketwatch upon his belt - a redundant and outdated piece of technology if ever Akira saw one. An analog man who needs a digital favour, Akira concluded. Carefully placing the finished puzzle on the table, Akira leaned forwards in his shiny faux-leather chair. "Well... I do love a challenge."

The USDJPY was indecisive on Friday, made a Doji on daily chart after unable to make a clear break below 78.24 key support area. My overall technical bias remains strongly to the downside but until we have a clear break and daily close below 78.24, price is still in a consolidation phase. Immediate resistance is seen around 78.54 (current high). A clear break above that area could trigger further bullish pullback but as long as price stays below 79.55 I still prefer a bearish scenario at this phase. A clear break and daily close below 78.24 would give further confirmation to the bearish continuation scenario testing 76.21 region.
