Chapter 6. Polyjuice BrewingMature
"You've almost got it, Alexis! You just need to emphasise the incantation more, and it'll be more powerful!" Said Sithofith appraisingly.
"Crucio!" she yelled, pointing her wand at a dummy of herself, as the dummy's limbs twisted in abnormal ways as it lay screaming; letting out a bloodcurdling scream, as though seconds from death. She released the curse and fell to the floor and began sobbing.
"Are you right?" Asked Sithofith, crouching down.
"What's wrong Lexis?" Asked Eruka, giving her a hug. Alexis wiped her eyes. "I'm sorry, it's just scary. I've never used this curse before."
"It's okay, it's only a dummy. It doesn't actually feel pain." Said Leon, consolably.
"Right." She said, getting back to her feet. "You may rest if you've had enough, Alexis. Best not to push it." Said Sithofith.
Professor Sithofith influenced Alexis back to her seat with his hand, and pointed at Leon.
"Up, Lopez!" Leon slid out of his chair, having only just sat back down. He pulled out his wand, and Sithofith transformed the dummy into a Leon lookalike. He pointed his wand.
"Crucio!" A small red and black orb emitted from the tip of his wand and struck the fake Leon in the chest. Leon kept his wand pointed at the dummy, and it fell to the ground, screaming; not able to bear the pain. He held it for about ten seconds before he was prompted to release it.
"That's enough, Leon. You all look exhausted, having practiced such a curse. That will be it for today; you may all go to lunch early now—Oh, wait. Ms. Myrvold, you haven't had a go, yet!"
May looked very nervous and scared. "But sir, I've barely even used any offensive spells; I honestly cannot see this ending well."
"You have to try!" Said Sithofith, encouragingly.
She, too, like Leon, slid out her chair and took out her wand, now pointed at her dummy-self.
"Cru-see-oh!" She flicked her wand a bit too much, and Sithofith knew it, too, judging on how he ducked right as the spell was cast. The curse rebounded off the dummy and flew to the back of the classroom, striking Leon right in the chest.
"Jesus, May! Watch where you're aiming that!" Said Leon, half-jokingly.
"Sorry!" she yelled. Fortuitously, the spell had been cast incorrectly, so it didn't do much harm to Leon; all he felt was a slight sting for the next five minutes in his chest.
"Okay, that wasn't horrible," Sithofith lied, "Just try not moving your wrist so much, like this:" He showed her the appropriate way to flick the wand. "Okay, now try again." He began walking off, when he remembered, "Oh, and it's 'Cru-she-oh'."
"Right, sorry. Crucio!"
"That was fantastic, May." Said Eruka as they left the classroom.
"I agree. Leon needed a good hit from the Cruciatus Curse!" Joked Dimitri.
"It didn't even hurt much. Nowhere near enough to be classed as a—" he cut off as he noticed he may have hurt her feelings by completing his statement. "So, anyway, what do we have after lunch?" he asked, changing the subject.
"Double potions," said Blair. "We had better be brewing a good potion, like Veritaserum or Polyjuice."
"Are you in our potions, May?" Asked Leon.
"Umm. I think so. We're in the dungeons next, aren't we?"
"Yeah, you're with us. Excellent."
Eruka forced Leon to drop back from the group.
"Willow. We should tell her that Lazarus has his mind set on more people than just you."
"We can't, Eruka. She's thirteen! She'll go into some kind of mental breakdown. She hasn't known us long enough to trust us to protect her. In fact, now that I think about it, we don't know ourselves well enough to know we can even defend ourselves."
"Fine. But you have to tell her sometime, Lee."
Many rather uneventful months had passed, and the time flew by quite quickly. Before they knew it they had all mastered dark arts: both defending and attacking. Christmas had come and gone, then they all celebrated Willow's fourteenth birthday, and Leon kept trying ever so feebly to get May's attention regularly. By late March, Professor Sithofith had begun preparing them to practice the most advanced and dangerous curse ever.
"So, anyway soon enough he will have us practicing the Killing Curse!" Said Dimitri to a horrified Willow. "K-Killing Curse? Like, a curse that kills people?"
"Well it's not going to turn pillows to cupcakes, is it, the Killing Curse?" Said Blair, snidely, right before Leon nudged him.
"So, they will have you practicing an illegal curse that causes people to die immediately?"
"Yes, but it's only so we can fight against the Death Eaters, should we need to," said Dimitri.
"So the whole school is fighting for Leon's sake?"
Leon quickly replied, "Oh no, it's not just about me. The Death Eater's are the most disgusting people you could ever meet! They will kill anybody who stands in their way; so, presumably, people standing in their way of getting to me would be everyone in this school—Just about everyone. Well, not everyone will fight alongside me, but it's not in a Death Eater's nature to spare innocent lives."
Willow looked completely dejected.
"W-Will they come for me?" she asked nervously.
Leon opened his mouth, ready to lie, but he caught glimpse of Eruka sitting behind Willow with a face that looked like it said, "Tell her right now, Leon. She has the right to know. She'll be alright" and "Tell her the truth or I'll kill you."
Leon closed his mouth, and then reopened it. "Willow, it's not like they're going to 'target' you, like they will, me, but they don't like non-wizards or witches. The fact that you're not a witch won't spare you from execution. If they happen to attack, and there is no safer haven for you: say there are no teachers around, or there are Eaters everywhere, just stay right next to us and don't get in their way. Understand?"
She was shaking, horrified, and nodded. "Uhuh…"
"Don't you worry yourself. We won't let anything happen to you, right, Eruka?"
"That's right. You'll be okay. They won't be able to tell you're a Muggle straight away," everyone braced for a mood swing after Willow heard 'Muggle," but she was simply too dejected to worry about it, so she let it slide, "…and besides, their main priority will be killing Leon."
Leon shot her a "Gee, thanks, you have just made me feel so much better," look, and Eruka waved her hand as if telling Leon to dismiss it; like she only said it to make Willow feel better.
That night, Blair decided to help Leon out with listing the ingredients and their purposes for a Veritaserum potion, as that was their Potions homework. Leon muttered as he wrote: "Verita…serum is…a truth…-telling…draught…"
Eruka slammed her Divination book shut. "Nope. It's still a load of garbage. I can't believe you pair haven't dropped that stupid subject, yet."
"Oh and do what, instead? Ancient Runes? Muggle Studies?" Questioned Leon, "It may be garbage, but it's not even close to being as tedious and stupid as those two horrible excuses for subjects. Now if you'll kindly be quiet," he continued, "Veritaserum is a very complicated draught. You know, I'm actually starting to enjoy Potions class!"
"Fine, then. I'll just head back to Ravenclaw Tower and—"
"No, don't leave. You can stay if you want; it's just that I'm trying to focus on this; I don't have time to argue about subjects."
Eruka turned to face the exit to the library once again, "No, it's fine. I'm still tired after last night; I was up until about twenty-to-four."
Blair looked shocked. "What was Ms. Eruka doing awake in the early hours of the morning?" said Blair, snidely.
She yawned, and just managed to say, "Ancient Runes homework" through the yawn. "Actually it was studying for the half yearly examination."
"Half yearly? Has six months really escaped us just like that?" panicked Leon.
"We only have four months left. God knows why they left the half-yearly until so late into the school year." Eruka left the library and made haste for Ravenclaw Tower.
"Let's call it a night, too."
During their next Potions lesson, they had to begin to brew a Polyjuice potion for their examination. They had been instructed that they will be put into groups of two, and that the potion will take a full month to brew. Their teacher pulled out a roll of parchment.
"Gregory and James.
Alexis and Beth.
Zachary and Elliot.
Rebecca and May
Leon hadn't panicked so hard in months. Who was his partner going to be? Alexis had already been arranged into a group, so he still had Blair, Eruka and Dimitri. If he got anybody else, he didn't really talk to them or know them that well, so he couldn't possibly do that good.
"Eruka and Isabella."
Leon began panicking even more.
"Michael and Blair."
This was it. He was about to be placed in a group with someone who would hold him back.
"Leon and Dimitri."
He breathed heavily out of relief: he was with a friend. And it just so happened that Dimitri was interested in Potions. The whole class began breaking up into their groups and heading to different stations to begin brewing their Polyjuice Potion. Dimitri joined Leon.
"How good is it that we're together, Leon? And brewing a potion I've been dying to learn about these past two and a half years!" Said Dimitri enthusiastically. "Wait here, and I'll grab the ingredients and instructions." Dimitri walked off towards the professor as Leon sat down. He began to set up the cauldron aand the equipment ready for when Dimitri got back.
About forty minutes into the lesson they had only just started brewing, as the potion was by far, the most complex they have ever covered in class.
"So, what's this potion meant to do when brewed properly, Dimitri?"
"You have to add someone's DNA to it by any means at all, and you transform into that person."
"For how long?"
"Dunno. Guess it depends on how you brew it."
Leon glanced up at Dimitri, then back down into the potion, and overheard Alexis shouting at her partner, Beth, "No! What are you doing? You boil it AFTER you add the Wolf-bane! Not before you mix it in with the—"
"Listen to them, huh?" Leon and Dimitri laughed together, "Thank god we're not in a group with her or Eruka."
"Though they seem to be brilliant at pretty much every subject. I've got a feeling their Polyjuice will be the best batch. If it wasn't for Alexis worrying so much in Dark Arts, I daresay she would be the greatest in every single subject she takes."
Leon had just come to a realisation after thinking back to his conversation with Willow a while back in the Ravenclaw common room: he didn't know Dimitri that great either. All he knew was about his escape from Durmstrang.
"Hey, Dimitri, I've always wondered, why is it that you're in Slytherin?"
"I told you I shouldn't—"
"No. I know you know. There must be some reason."
Dimitri breathed deeply, "I come from one of the only pureblood families that remain. Every pureblood is always placed in Slytherin."
"But," Leon began, "purebloods are the—"
Leon and Dimitri quickly averted their attention away from their potion to look across the room at Michael and Blair's. They had somehow managed to blow the whole thing up.
"Oh, get yourselves to the hospital wing at once, boys." Muttered the professor, to the two boys now covered in the beginnings of Polyjuice, as they walked off.
"What were you saying, Leon?"
"I was just saying, that—oh, it's nothing. Don't worry about it."
He changed the subject with a chuckle in his voice, "I can't believe Blair and his partner actually managed to blow up a Polyjuice Potion! Surely, the ingredients cannot possibly blow it up."
Dimitri snickered, "Maybe they added something wrong? Wouldn't surprise me; Blair has never been very good at Potions, has he?"
Once the lesson had finally ended, everyone's Polyjuice Potion (except for Blair and Michael's) had only just started brewing; they were told to bring their cauldrons into the storeroom with their lids on…
"…so that foreign objects won't enter the potion and mess the entire batch! You don't way a fly's DNA in your potion, and then go drinking it! They are for human transformations only." Said the professor as the students placed their cauldrons away.
"So, Dimitri," began Leon, as they made their way to Herbology, "got any hobbies?"
Dimitri seemed happy that Leon had actually asked him something about his life; as if Dimitri is glad he and Leon are beginning to bond. "Oh, I enjoy playing Quidditch with my siblings. I also enjoy reading books, listening to music."
"So you have siblings, then?"
"Yes. An older brother and a younger sister."
"Parents? Do you live with both of them?"
Dimitri seemed to be petrified at being asked this. Quickly, Leon said, "You know what, don't answer that. I'm sorry."
"No, it's okay," began Dimitri, "it's just that my mother got sick when I was seven, and died when I was 9, and my father—God knows where he is; he ran off one day, not long before mum died and never came back. Before she passed, my mother asked our grandpa to raise us."
Leon looked sympathetic, "I'm very sorry, Dimitri."
"Oh, it's not that bad anymore. I went to Durmstrang for two years, so I was away from home; it was almost as though my parents were both still with me. I met Alexis and we became very good friends, but our other friend wasn't so lucky in our attempt to flee the castle, as I'm sure Alexis already explained to you. So now, here I am."
"Well, if it's any consolation-which it probably isn't- I've rarely seen my father; he works with the Ministry as an Auror, so I barely seem him. He's always stuck at work and sometimes he doesn't even come home. My mother is a Muggle, too."
They began talking about their personal lives as they made their way to class. It was over halfway through the year and Leon and Dimitri had barely spoken much. They talked about their favourite activities, their favourite subjects, what music they both like, until eventually a silence was drawn upon the two. After thirty seconds, as they approached the professor, ready to begin the lesson, Dimitri said, "Leon, are you prepared? Prepared for Lazarus, I mean. He could attack any day – any second."
Leon breathed, "I don't know what I'll do. I can't face him alone, surely; he's much too powerful. I'm just very much concerned for Willow. She doesn't stand a chance against him, and he enjoy hunting Muggles."
"Non-Witch!" yelled Dimitri, in a high-pitched, mocking voice, similar to Willow's.
They both laughed together, and walked towards where Eruka and Blair were seated. "Where's Alexis?" asked Leon.
"She dropped the subject," said Eruka.
Leon never paid much attention in Herbology; he knew that was a mistake, but he just could not care less for the class. He may as well be sitting in a six-hour-long History of Magic lesson with no breaks. However, this lesson, he had felt… different.
He could feel that there was something terrible coming.

Best New Reissue
A selection of highlights from the interviews we did this year
Fifty years ago, the composer debuted his tape-loop experiment Come Out—a piece that put forth the voice of a man beaten by police, an injustice that still reverberates in our Black Lives Matter moment.
Mark Richardson discusses the music that has shaded his memories of 9/11, and why putting an aesthetic layer on top of suffering can feel wrong.
Ten songs in which you can hear technology acting on the human voice, turning it into something alien and powerful.
This month we bookend a week with visits to London's Fabric nightclub and Berlin's Club Transmediale Festival, highlighted by performances from M.A.N.D.Y. [above] and Ricardo Villalobos.
With digital DJing replacing the inflexibility and time constraints of dubplates and marathon parties en vogue, artists such as Ricardo Villalobos [above] are not only elongating their sets, but extending the length of their studio-crafted productions as well.
The second installment of our 60s songs list counts down from Nos. 150-101.

Woods, who is seeking a seventh consecutive US Tour win, went into Saturday's round tied for 12th place but now lies in joint fourth after shooting a three-under-par 69 and making birdies at the fourth, sixth and seventh holes.
Snedeker's form deserted him somewhat as he made a two-over-par 74 but his early form in the competition means the tour rookie is still very much in the frame.
Australian Buckle stormed into contention with a four-under round of 68, while Kevin Sutherland is one stroke behind the leading pair overnight, with his two-under-par 70 leaving him on 10 under for tournament.
Joining Woods on nine under are Troy Matteson, Bill Haas and Charles Howell.
Howell was particularly unlucky having kept in touch with the leaders for much of the day before a missed four-foot putt on the 17th saw him fall back into the pack.
Howell, who narrowly missed forcing Woods into a play-off in the 2005 tournament, admitted he was disappointed not to have made more of a push but insisted he can still win.
"In 2005 I gave it [the Buick Invitational] a heck of a run," said Howell.
"I wish I could have done better, but I have a chance and that's all I can ask for."
"Someone told me once a long time ago that golf owes you nothing and I think that statement probably holds true."

EUR/USD: analysts' comments
Here's another week of uncertain environment, so opinions differ.
Credit Agricole: Stay long on EUR/USD targeting $1.3830 and a stopping at $1.3330.
Goldman Sachs: EUR/USD is more likely to go higher near term.
Commerzbank: Hedge against more declines in EUR/USD, in the worst case to $1.3330.
SEB: Downside potential is greater as greater than the opposite even though we basically need a downside exit from the $1.3462/3569 "box" for confirmation. Bearish scenario will be reconsidered if EUR/USD rises above $1.3607.
BBH: If EUR peaked in early Oct just below $1.3650, it should now ideally hold below $1.3580. It can fray the downtrend line and probe near $1.3600, without really improving the technical tone. Still, EUR/USD but has yet to close below the 20-day MA at $1.3515 to slide to $1.3400.

The brain has failed to evolve from the time of aggressive hunter-gatherers who thought only of finding food and mating, says Professor Geoffrey Beattie.
This "Fred Flintstone" impulse explains why men commit the vast majority of traffic offences including speeding, dangerous driving and drink-driving and account for 94 per cent of prosecutions resulting from road casualties.
Scroll down for more...
Professor Beattie, who is Manchester University's Head of Psychological Sciences and resident psychologist on TV's Big Brother, examined the effect of evolution on differences in driving behaviour between men and women.
He concludes that young men in particular still exhibit the risk-taking instincts of cavemen when driving in modern-day Britain.
"Our 21st Century skulls contain essentially stone-age brains," he says in a report to be considered on Wednesday by the House of Commons Transport Committee.
"The human brain evolved to meet the requirements of the huntergatherer that existed for 99 per cent of our evolution as a species.
"This has a very significant impact on driving by encouraging more competitive-and hostile behaviour with consequent higher probabilities of having an accident."
The professor's report, "Sex Differences in Driving and Insurance Risk", was commissioned by the insurance firm esure for submission to an inquiry into what should be done to reduce road deaths beyond 2010 - the Government's deadline for cutting casualties by 50 per cent.
It says men are more competitive and likely to react aggressively on instinct to perceived invasions of their personal space by other drivers - particularly when tailgated or cut up when overtaken.
Women, on the other hand, are better able to empathise and see others' point of view so they are less likely to respond to hostility.
Home Office figures reveal that men were responsible for 97 per cent of dangerous driving convictions in 2005, 88 per cent of drink-drive violations, 87 per cent of accident offences and 82 per cent of speeding cases.
Teenage male drivers are five times more likely to crash than those aged 30 or over and the fatal accident rate of men in their twenties is 535 per cent higher than women of the same age.
Professor Beattie concludes that male drivers should be trained to keep their aggression in check.
"Education is the key to changing risky behaviour," he said.

Lishtot is working on three types of devices:
The TestOnKey is the most compact device in Lishtot's product family.
The TeStraw is a high level sensor with higher quality data, though testing times remain fast.
On pipe monitoring
Home-based devices will give around-the-clock water monitoring protection
Lishtot is working on three types of solutions:
Mobile devices
Lishtot's devices will give any person around the world the ability to test water before drinking.
Fixed devices
Lishtot's fixed devices can solve many problems related to running water.
Industrial devices
There are many applications from the food and beverages industry for using our technology in production lines
The Sensor works on the following principle: presence of contaminants, either general or in some embodiment's specific bacteria or organic pesticides causes a differential electrical output in an electrical circuit. For example, clean tap water tested by Lishtot showed consistent outputs between +600 and +1000 Lishtot's Safety Points; a similar water sample spiked with pathogenic E. coli at 1,000 cells per milliliter gave readings of 0 to -200 Lishtot Safety Points under similar testing conditions .
Lishtot technology has been successfully tested in and out of the lab several thousand experiments. The system has shown excellent reproducibility and the robustness required for testing under the most challenging conditions. As many who live in areas lacking dependable water resources boil their water, bacteria are not their major health concern. There are dozens of major pesticides used in Africa, China, India and in other countries and regions; while these specific chemicals will have to be tested for device calibration, preliminary results with several unique organic pesticides show that pesticides are easily detectable in otherwise clean water samples. Heavy metals such as mercury, cadmium and lead have been successfully identified at the ppb level with the same technology.
Lishtot tests take between two and four seconds. Competing "fast" heavy metal tests generally require fifteen minutes, while typical plating protocols are eight to twenty-four hours.
Ease of Use
Many Lishtot embodiments require no user input whatsoever, as the systems are automatic in sampling, testing, data collection, and results determination.
Low Cost
Lishtot's technology is based on robust components that are inexpensive and readily available. There is no requirement for added reagents or special—and expensive—tracer molecules. Cost is pennies per test.
Contamination types
Lishtot's technology detects heavy metals, pathogenic bacteria, and organic pesticides in water and is not affected by dirt or soil.
Our Team
Netanel Raisch

Nir bloch
Lishtot ("to drink" in Hebrew) has developed a technology for water testing that detects contamination in water in less than 4 seconds based on changes in water electronic characteristics.
Lishtot's mission is to connect through the Internet via a dedicated smartphone application many water testing devices in order to build worldwide and local water quality maps that provide the answer to any person in real time whether "to drink or not to drink?".
Lishtot's technology, based on 15 years of research, detects many contamination types (including bacteria, heavy metals and organic pesticides) and is reusable, requires no added reagents and costs cents per test.

Survivor #1: I Will Survive!
I hate fingernails. I hate them even more when they're attached to groping hands. But I hate them the most when said hand isn't attached to anything else.
"Gettoff, gettoff, gettoff!" Not exactly a fearsome battlecry, I know, but it was the best I had. After all, what else do you yell at the half-rotted appendage that seems intent on tearing your skull open? Especially when your only weapons are a slipper and a baking tray.
Another groan from outside sent shudders down my spine. The news reports had advised everyone to get out of danger zones as fast as possible, but I hadn't had the chance. By the time I got to the front door, I could already see the lumbering corpses heading up the street. I'd barricaded myself in the cellar and hoped they wouldn't find me. Well, they had.
Oh no. Another slant-shouldered corpse-beast illuminated in the open doorway. Well, I say open, what I mean is that the first one had smashed the door to matchwood. I snarled and seized the rotting hand as it went for my throat again, and flung it up at the oncoming monster with all my strength. For once, my aim held true, and the creature overbalanced and came tumbling down the stairs in a flurry of howls and sickening crunchings. I leapt on it at the bottom of the stairs. No, literally, I leapt on it. My combat boots made short work of its semi-rotted skull, and soon I was standing in a pile of quivering pink and gray mush. At least I'd picked sensible footwear today, though I kept wishing I had some high heels to use for throwing stars.
"Is that all you have?" I screeched, somewhat dementedly. "Really?"
"Oh damn and buggerage."
More of them. More and more and more of them appearing out of nowhere at the top of the stairs. Six, ten, twelve, twenty, they just kept coming. There was no way I could stop this many.
I was trapped.
I was doomed.
Then, suddenly, there was another voice. Not a grunting one, not a blood-clotted groan, or even a semi-intelligible wail. A real human voice, shouting real human words - and very colourful ones they were too. I let out a little yelp as five of my attackers collapsed beneath a hail of bullets.
"Hello?" the voice cried. "Is anyone in here? Anyone still alive?"
"I a - gyaaaaah!" I didn't get a chance to finish before I had to swing my baking tray at an oncoming zombie's head. I smashed out a few teeth and knocked the thing back a bit, but it came straight back like some undead puppy that refuses to believe the door is actually made of glass. More repeated smashing with the baking tray did little to dissuade it from its murderous course as bullets and brains flew through the air.
Thankfully, a final bullet from my unseen saviour soon prompted my new friend to have a little nap.
"Hurry!" said saviour was yelling at me and waving dementedly with one arm from the top of the stairs - the other was gripping what looked to be a large machine gun. Gods, I could have done with one of those.
I paused and looked around at the desolation. The zombies lay with their brains splattered around the walls like some sick sort of modern art, and I myself looked like Sweeny Todd on a bad day - I swear there was more blood on my face than there was in my veins.
But I was alive. And I wanted to stay that way.
I looked up at the human in the remnants of my doorway, wiped a smear of gore out of my eyes and nodded.
"I'm coming."

This paper introduces a new framework to support synthesis of complex engineering problems using a paradigm that combines optimisation with ontological knowledge modelling. The framework registers and analyzes new solutions by introducing a mechanism of digital certificates to translate structural information and solution features through semantics of an ontology. The solutions are respectively clustered by design features. Tested against complex synthesis of reactor networks, the framework offers a potential to visualize optimization in the course of its development and demonstrates noticeable advantages over conventional methods of a similar basis in convergence and performance.

Promotion Ceremony
A promotion ceremony has been scheduled for Friday, July 10, 2015, at 3:00 pm, in the First United Methodist Church Wesley Center (new building), located at 72 Lake Morton Dr. Lakeland, Florida 33801.
Captains Ruben Garcia and Victor White will be promoted to Assistant Chief of Police, Lieutenants Hans Lehman and Sammy Taylor will be promoted to Captain, Sergeants Brent Addison and Mark Melius will be promoted to Lieutenant, and Officers Joseph Parker, Richard "Brian" Wallace, and Jasper Yzaguirre will be promoted to Sergeant at this time
On June 28th, the mother of an 11 year old called the Lakeland Police Department after she discovered disturbing text messages between her child and his teacher from this past school year. The arrestee, Alecia Dotson, 45 yrs old, is employed by the Polk County School Board as a Paraprofessional at Highlands Grove Elementary where the victim attended as a 5th grade.
There were approximately 100 text messages sent back and forth between the two. On June 28, Dotson sent a text message to the victim asking to pick him up and take him to the library. The mother decided to check her son's cell phone and discovered several inappropriate text messages sent to her son. While the Lakeland Police was at the mothers house conducting an investigation, Dotson again sent a text message saying, "Love bug what are you doing" and "I'll be sure to tell her we won't have sex on the first visit…LOL."
The Special Victims Unit began an investigation on June 29th and had control of the victim's cell phone. On June 30th, Dotson sent another text message asking the victim "Are you awake love bug?" Dotson, believing she was talking to the victim when in fact it was detectives, arranged a meeting with him at the Cinemark Movie Theater for the purpose of engaging in unlawful sexual conduct. Prior to arriving at the theater, Dotson stopped and picked up a bottle of strawberry warming lubricant from Spencer's at the Lakeland Mall. Dotson was taken into custody after she showed up as planned at the Lakeland Mall.
Dotson stated that over the last three weeks the relationship between her and the victim evolved from a "Mentorship" to a "Crush" and then a "Romantic relationship." Based on the investigation, Dotson was charged with:
· Sexual Battery (attempt) under 12- (2 counts)
· Use Computer Device to Solicit a Child
· Traveling to Meet a Minor
· Unlawful Use of Communications
Dotson was later transported to the Polk County Jail on June 30th.

Nepal have won the toss and have chosen to bat. Slight dew this morning but the sun is already up, the haze is lifting off the distant hills framing the Tribhuvan University Ground and the crowd is building. Both teams confident of victory, both teams are evenly-matched though of course, Nepal has the home advantage. The last time they met in this ACC Twenty20 event in 2011 on this ground, Nepal won by two wickets off the last ball.

Match State: Innings Break Good innings from Gyanendra Malla to hold things together for Nepal. Hong Kong no doubt the happier side going in, keeping Nepal to less than a run a ball is a big plus but, the wicket is spin-friendly as Nadeem Ahmed and Karan Shah showed and Nepal today have 1) three front-line spinners 2) 9 excellent fielders 3) immense fighting spirit. Hong Kong to win, will have to bat a little above themselves and much depends on Irfan Ahmed at the top of the order who is evidently in some form as judged by his 39-ball 87 against Malaysia yesterday.
End of over 20 (1 run) Nepal 115/9
- A Bhattarai 0 (1b)
- S Regmi 0 (4b)
- Irfan Ahmed 4-0-21-0

Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
Customers Beware! There are enough complaints with the BBB and here online to realize that Quicken Loans are in it to make money and not to actually help any customer! And, if you have difficulties with them, they will take your money and disappear! Don't fall for their *rebuttals* to all the complaints online. These have a great marketing department that writes those so they can *appear* to be customer oriented!
My Story: I called about refinancing a current FHA mortgage with Wells Fargo. Their fast-talking salesman, Jon Betcher, talked me into a deposit to *lock in* the finance charge rate. Before I had submitted ANY papers or even been properly qualified, HE TOOK MY MONEY. Over a week later, when it became apparent that I would NOT qualify because of the type of home (something Mr. Betcher SHOULD HAVE ASKED IN THE FIRST CONVERSATION!), Mr. Betcher was all full of promises that I would get a full refund and that he screwed up.
I got a partial refund. I emailed and emailed and called and called and couldn't get the rest of my money. I SPENT HOURS OF MY LIFE trying to get my money back! Finally, I had to file a complaint with the BBB to get the remainder of my money back, but, by then the credit card bill had come due and finanace charges were also assessed. QUICKEN will not reimburse me for my time (at least three hours) spent trying to get my money back from Quicken and they will not cover the finance charges.
The *claim* that they provided Mr. Betcher more training since this incident since HE messed up on my account. Do I believe it? Not for one second. I'm sure that Mr. Betcher is continuing on as business as usual with NO REGARD to the time and energy and WORRY he COST me over this! They may have finally given me a refund, but they are theives of time and energy!
I have spread the word on other websites, social-networking sites, and blogs and financial blogs and I encourage everyone else to do likewise. Don't do business with the company! If you do, you deserve anything they put you through!

Hi! Kelly here from Quicken Loans. First off, thanks for posting about your experience. We have absolutely nothing to hide and are more than happy to work through the issues you have with us.
I'd like to first mention that I am absolutely here replying to client reviews because I do want to help. I am more than willing and capable of helping anyone who wishes to contact me and hope I've made that clear so far. I am always available to research any problem for any client. My job is not to market us here - this site is obviously not here to make us look good - my job is to help solve problems and provide our side of the story when necessary. Since you state you've seen my rebuttals (which always includes my contact info - firstname.lastname@example.com), I truly wish you would have contacted me so this could have been taken care of quicker. That is, in fact, why I respond. To help.
Having now gone over your loan and your complaint with the BBB, I fully understand what happened. And while we've responded to you personally and through the BBB, I'm more than happy to reiterate that here.
Your banker, Jon, was wrong for not asking you about the type of property you have in the beginning. And he did promise you a full refund (which you have received). To be clear about the deposit we collected and the fact you say we took it before you "submitted any papers" - we DO NOT EVER charge anyone's card before we have a signed application from them. That application, which you signed, very clearly explains the deposit. When you signed it, agreeing to the deposit and to applying to get a loan from us, we then charge your deposit. For more information on our deposit policy, I do recommend that you check your application, specifically the document you signed entitled "Interest Rate Disclosure." You're also encouraged to check out the page we have on our website with clearly explains our deposit policy - https://www.quickenloans.com/about/quicken-loans-deposit
When we found out we could not finance your property, we immediately (on 08/18/09) refunded you $388.86 of your $400 refund, which is customary when we deny a loan for ineligible property type. The remaining $11.14 was retained to pay for your credit report. When we were informed Jon promised you a FULL refund and you had not received it, we did refund the remaining $11.14 on 09/10/09.
I apologize that you spent your time contacting us to get your $11.14 back. However, we have done exactly what we had promised you we would do. We gain nothing by upsetting a client that we cannot do business with.
While you may not believe it, Jon (the banker) has been spoken to and has received additional training in order to avoid such situations in the future. We sincerely apologize for the delay and inconvenience this has caused you. Even though we cannot help you with your loan, you are certainly important to us, as all clients are.
Again, we're sorry for the delay. I'm glad to know that your deposit has been refunded in full. Please let me know if there is anything else I can do for you. I am available.

63. Best Friends Forever
63. Best Friends Forever
Lionel is brought to the Security Center for questioning, along with Lai and several other soldiers. Their accounts are varied, but they add up in a believable way. Lionel explains that Lady T threatened him and his wife before, but he makes no mention of the Uniters, the ILG, or the fact that Lai is his daughter. Everyone unanimously testifies that Lady T is the one who shot Loretta. And since Lady T was found at the scene of the crime with a gun in her hand and several people pointing accusingly at her, she should be tried and convicted without a hitch.
But she won't be.
Lionel and Lai discuss it when they meet after the interrogations, after they watch Loretta being carried off under a white sheet to a medical spacecraft so that she can be sent back to Earth. Both of them feel blank and apathetic, and far less devastated than they should. Neither is really sure what to do now.
"Lady T will get out of it, you know," says Lai. "She's an official government agent. She has a ton of contacts. All she has to do is call up the right person, and all of a sudden she'll be pardoned for acting in self-defense or something, and then she'll make sure that all of us rogue Uniters have our names put on the public enemy list. Authorities will be after me from all sides soon enough. I won't be able to go home." It makes her a little sad, to think that she'll be permanently leaving all semblance of normality behind. She won't be able to work at a regular job again, or play on her keyboard, or see her owner Felix, or have a place to call home.
For no reason, she begins thinking of the day that the ILG launched their siege, and how mere hours before her life changed forever, she saw a violator of the Keep Public Secular act meet his untimely demise beneath the wheels of a freighter groundcraft. The pulverized remnants of his body now bring to mind her last glimpse of Loretta, and she can't help but shiver. Loretta Amity was her mother, after all, and no matter what Lai may think of her now, she wouldn't be here today if it wasn't for her.
And if it wasn't for Lai, Loretta wouldn't be dead…but nothing good can come out of thinking that way.
Lionel is silent for a while. "I've been thinking," he finally speaks up. "I called down to Earth and hired people to get my old division tidied up. There's not much point in me staying up here anymore."
Lai nods, unsurprised. "Good. You should get away from the conflict."
"I didn't say anything about getting away from the conflict."
She turns to him, lifting her eyebrows curiously.
"I know that you don't have anywhere to go right now," he continues, "especially if you're about to be labeled as a fugitive. So since you're…well, my daughter…I think it would only be right if I offered you and your friends a place to stay in my division. You'd be safe there, for a little while, anyway."
She flicks her eyes back and forth, not quite sure what to make of this offer. "…what do you mean by 'me and my friends?'"
"Well, obviously I can't accommodate all one hundred of you, or however many there are, but I don't see anything wrong with taking three or four of the people closest to you along for the ride. I know that even you must have some especially close friends and family."
Lai imagines living out the next chunk of her life alongside Alec, Les, Ema, and maybe Ule was well, bunking down in the Amity division as they try plot out their next move against the nimp supporters. It certainly isn't a perfect situation, and it probably isn't even ideal, but it is the best option available to her at the moment. However…
"I need to talk to Ule about it," she answers carefully. "He might have an emergency backup plan already."
Lionel nods understandingly (Lai explained to him earlier about the true purposes of the ILG and the Uniters). "I figured you'd say that. But no matter what he tells you, remember that my offer still stands. It's the least I can do."
And then they exchange a sad glance, knowing that the least that Lionel Amity can do isn't very much at all, and it's only a very tiny step in the direction of healing the history between them. After all, father and daughter or not, he still abandoned her, and there's no force in the universe that can change that.
When Lai recounts her father's offer to Ule, he doesn't accept or reject it right away. Rather, he stands almost perfectly still in front of her, pensively rubbing his forehead. "I had originally intended for us to make our escape for one of my designated safe areas," he states. "But now that I think about it, it might be wise for us to split up."
"It will make us harder to find," Lai agrees. "Especially considering that you and the original ILG are already wanted criminals, and the rest of us will be soon."
"Which is precisely why I think that only you and some of your group members should go with Mr. Amity. That way, you'll be safer for a longer period of time. If me or any of my men go, we could compromise everything when the authorities come banging down the door to find us."
"I guess…" Lai presses her lips together thoughtfully. "I'll take Alec, Ema, and Les with me. After all, we're practically a family, and we work together all the time. We'll be able to cook up a plan while we're in hiding, you see if we don't."
"Oh, I don't doubt it." He smiles briefly at her. "Why don't you tell them the plan, and the four of you – well, five, counting Mr. Amity – can leave as soon as possible. I'll take good care of everyone else, and we'll be in touch soon."
She frowns at him. "Um, how? If you so much as touch a communication device, the authorities will swarm on you like bees."
"I have methods," he assures her. "Now, if you'll excuse me, there's a loose end that I need to tie up…"
Ule assumes correctly that Ema will probably be in her cabin, so he walks to the previously forbidden zone of Squadron 3 Faction B's community suite. The entire area is nearly empty when he arrives there; the Uniter loyalists must have heard about Lady T's incapacitation and scrambled to get back to Earth before they could be convicted as well. Only the imps who have now switched to his group are still milling around. The door to Ema's room is open, and he peers into find her meticulously folding clothes, tucking each one within the confines of her suitcase as if precious diamonds have been woven into the fabric.
"Getting ready to go?" he asks quietly, leaning in the doorway.
She flinches slightly, her head snapping around to face her intruder. Upon seeing his face, her eyes narrow. "I'm not going with you,Ule," she snaps testily. "I'm leaving under my own steam."
"But you should stay with the group. I'm already thinking of a backup plan, and Mr. Amity offered you a spot with – "
Her nostrils flare. "Imeanthat I'm not going to be part of your group, not in a million years. I don't owe you anything. And you already have plenty of new recruits, so it doesn't have much impact that I've decided to quit, does it?" She slams the lid of the suitcase down in order to emphasize her point.
He stares. "But…I don't understand. I thought you were a leader, trying to fight for the good of the world. I thought you wanted to fix things!"
"I only joined the Uniters to find some closure after what you did to me. I felt that I was practically required to go up against anything labeled 'ILG.' Well, now I know what happened to you and what you're trying to do, and I've decided that it's not worth stressing over. I have plenty of other, morereliablefriends, and I don't need you anymore. You were never a very good friend, anyway."
"If I could say the same thing about you!" he growls. "Aren't you the one who always told me that 'there's no such thing as an irredeemable person?'"
"I never said that you were irredeemable. I just think that it would be better for both of us if we go our separate ways."
"You're backing out."
"No. I'm just choosing not to participate."
"At a time like this, it's the same thing!"
Her eyes seem to spark furiously. "You can'tforcepeople to take part in this war you're waging, Ule! Then you'd be no better than the supposed enemies who you're trying to fight!"
Ule clenches his fists, unsure of why this "rejection" is stinging him so much. "Fine, then," he spits. "I wouldn't want a coward like you in my ranks, anyway!"
She lifts one rigid finger in the direction of the exit. "Get out."
"Oh, I've offended you now! Excuse me, I forgot that you always had to be perfect when it comes to everything. You're not cowardly, you're just wiser than us all, isn't that right? Your decision always has to be the right one, because you're apsychologist, and of course you know about everything better than anyone!"
"Get out!" she repeats, fire rising in her voice.
He turns and stomps away, disgusted. Just before the door is unceremoniously slammed shut behind him, he hears her shout, "You don't know anything about me anymore, Codi. Stop pretending that you do!"
His breath hisses harshly between his gritted teeth, and it continues to do so long after he arrives back at his cabin.
Lai has already gathered her clothes from where they were strewn across chair backs or in delivery bins returned from laundry service, and the rest of her personal belongings are safely stowed away. The spacecraft fight that will return her to Earth leaves in just over two hours. Now she has decided that the most productive use of her time is to stretch out on the rumpled sheets of her bed and write in Notebook Number Three.
For the first time, she is writing nonfiction instead of fiction, but that doesn't make her story any less interesting. She has a lot to cover, from her very first trip to the Amity division, to the beginning of her relationship with Alec, to her shifting paradigms of the ILG and Lady T's not-so-final fate. She avoids phrasing things as if the story is over, because she knows that it isn't. Who knows what challenges she will be facing in the upcoming days and weeks? When she returns home with Mr. Amity, she might be able to unlock more memories of her past, and her new status as an ILG member ensures that she will have a hand in determining the future. Ule has even offered to make her a leader.
As her pen moves in frantic scribbles and whorls across the page, someone knocks quietly on her door. "Come in," she calls, finishing a sentence before she finally looks up from her work.
When she does look up, who should be standing there but Ema, with a tired look in her eyes and a suitcase resting beside her leg. "Hi," she says, trying for a smile and not quite succeeding.
"Hello, Ema," answers Lai mildly, pushing herself into a sitting position as she closes the cover of her notebook. She doesn't like anyone to catch a glimpse of her works before they're completed.
Ema deserts her suitcase and comes to sit down on the edge of the bed, staring down at her lips. "I came to say good-bye," she finally speaks up.
Lai blinks. "What? Is everyone else leaving already? I thought that you were coming with me and Mr. Amity!"
"I'm not coming with you or going with them, Lai. I've decided that I don't want to be a part of this fight anymore."
"You'rewhat?!" demands Lai. "Ema, this is important! This could impact the whole world! Why are you just giving up?"
"I never wanted to fight," Ema replies plainly. "At first I felt that I had to, but I don't feel that way anymore. I just don't believe that the World Gov would really plot to turn the entire population into nimps."
Lai crosses her arms. "No, you don'twantto believe it," she corrects tartly. "I know you better than that, Ema. You always want to see the good in everything, and all you can see in this situation is badness, so you won't let yourself believe that it's true."
"Maybe you should come along with me," continues Ema, as if she hadn't heard. "I'm going to be travelling a lot, I think. I'll see the world, visit other continents, check out all of the museums and monuments. You'd like that, wouldn't you? I know that you like adventures, and old-fashioned things…"
"Leaving is not an option," Lai declares. "Not for me, anyway. I wouldn't dream of walking out when there's so much to be done!"
"But you're not doing any of this because you feel it's your duty or because you think it's right, are you? You just want to do it because it's exciting, and because once the whole world knows you're the nimp, you'll be famous beyond compare. So maybe you should think carefully, Lai…are you certain that you're making the right choice?"
Unperturbed, Lai simply says, "This is theonlychoice, Ema. The only choice I've ever made. For my entire life, people have been picking decisions for me. I didn't choose to become a nimp, and I didn't really even choose to become a Uniter. This time, I'm going to have a say in my own destiny. Fate won't be yanking me around anymore."
Ema's eyes are sad, but accepting. "I thought you might say something like that, but it never hurts to ask. Well…goodbye, then. I'm not sure when I'll be seeing you next. I wish you the best of luck, and I really hope that you don't regret this."
"And I hope that you don't regret it, either," responds Lai, although personally she hopes that Ema will become so wracked with guilt that she has no choice but to return.
Ema leans over and envelopes the younger girl in an awkward hug, and Lai stiffens and doesn't even think to return the gesture. As they separate, both of them are well aware of the impact that their different paths will have. As of now, they are no longer best friends, and probably not even friends anymore.How strange,Ema thinks,that I predicted that it would be jealousy that would do our friendship in. I don't think that Lai even has the capacity to feel jealousy. Even if she did, she'd never be envious of me. She thinks of herself much too highly for that.
Lai can feel the emotional bonds between them almost physically disintegrating, crumbling away into powder and molecules of air. The sensation makes her a bit wistful and nostalgic, but she isn't sorry, not really. The ties binding her to Ema were not very strong, and besides, now she won't have anyone to try and diagnose her with imaginary personality disorders, or tell her that she's being immature and absentminded. Losing a friend has revitalized her spirit instead of dampening it.
For the first time in she-can't-remember-how-long, she feels free.
