American Airlines Expands Long-Time Descartes Relationship to include EU Regulatory Compliance
WATERLOO, Ontario - December 15, 2010 – Descartes today announced that American Airlines Cargo, a division of American Airlines, Inc., has selected its Global Filer solution to help it manage its import customs filings to the European Union's (EU) Import Control System (ICS). The solution will assist with upcoming EU regulations regarding advanced entry declarations, which take effect on January 1, 2011.
Global Filer, part of Descartes' Global Trade Compliance suite, enables collaboration between multiple parties to address customs security filing requirements across different modes of transport and for multiple countries.
"This new agreement with Descartes is a great milestone for American Airlines Cargo as it strengthens our 17-year relationship for electronic messaging and system automation," said Richard Burkhardt, Managing Director Cargo Operations at American Airlines Cargo. "Descartes has the in-depth understanding of the complex EU customs environment required to meet our standards for compliance with new customs security requirements."
Global Filer offers multiple features that improve overall efficiency of customs requirements and operations, including the following:
- Complete, real-time visibility into the customs status of cargo and the ability to provide this status information to logistic partners and clients, regardless of their location;
- Integration capabilities with back-office systems, optimizing data entry efforts, allowing for re-use of data and reducing the risk of error; and
- One solution (as opposed to different applications) to cover multi-country requirements, allowing for a more efficient use of resources and time.
"We're delighted that American Airlines Cargo chose Descartes to meet current and longer-term EU compliance mandates," said Jonathan Wasserman, Senior Vice President, Global Trade Compliance Solutions at Descartes. "Global Filer can also increase the visibility of American's customs operations and allow American's users to efficiently manage data entry and monitor security to help provide even better service to American's customers."
Descartes' Global Filer leverages the power of Descartes' Global Logistics Network (GLN). The GLN enables organizations to connect to global trading partners and regulatory organizations and reliably exchange information to increase performance and drive high levels of customer satisfaction.

HOUSTON - Police found a baby's body in a trash bin at a Stafford home on Wednesday.
Houston police said a 29-year-old woman at Memorial Hermann Southwest Hospital told a nurse she had a baby recently, but wrapped the baby up and threw the newborn in a trash container. Investigators said the woman hid the pregnancy and could not afford the baby, so she gave herself an abortion by taking pills. The woman was about 20 to 25 weeks pregnant.
The woman's sister took her to the hospital when she continued to lose blood.
"She told the doctor she had a baby, that she wrapped the baby in a bag and threw baby in the trash," Sgt James Racus said. "She basically stated that she took some pills and tried to force the baby out on her own. Apparently she was distraught that the father of child was not going to pay for the abortion ... she decided to do it on her own."
Officers began looking in Dumpsters at the La Casita apartment complex at 313 Sunnyside in northwest Houston shortly after 7 a.m. after the woman directed them there.
The apartment's maintenance worker, Oscar Orasco, helped with the search.
"I'm looking through Dumpsters, looking for a baby wrapped in a blanket," he said. "The apartment she lived in, it was empty. She moved out two or three days ago and the apartment's empty."
"She won't cooperate with us," said Duke Nguyen with the Houston Police Department. "Right now the information we are getting is all mixed up."
Police said the baby was not dumped at the apartment complex after all, and were not sure why the woman told them about that complex.
Investigators spoke with the woman's relatives in Stafford and searched their home in the 12300 block of Tambourine, where the baby's body was found.
Police said no charges have been filed yet. The investigation continues.

The moment is coming for a Presidential decision on the Keystone XL project – the extension of a existing pipeline system designed to take over 800,000 barrels a day of crude from the oil sands of Alberta to the refineries on the Gulf coast. A few months ago the betting was that reluctant approval would be given. Now, however, the pipeline looks more likely to be the victim of Washington politics. Read more

SWINDON Town manager Mark Cooper faces a major selection headache when his side visit Peterborough United tonight, with injuries, suspension, ineligibility and competition rules combining to leave the Robins boss in an unenviable position.
Cooper will be without the suspended duo of Alex Pritchard and Troy Archibald-Henville, Ryan Mason is missing due to an abdominal strain, Michael Smith and Jamie Reckord are both cup-tied and Jay McEveley is still recovering from a knee problem.
Having taken all of that into account, Cooper must also contend with the Johnstone's Paint Trophy ruling which dictates that he must select either at least six of the XI who started the game against Oldham Athletic on Saturday or six of the players who have played 75 per cent or more of Town's league games this term.
Massimo Luongo, who was withdrawn at the weekend due to a tight hamstring, is expected to start, while Yaser Kasim is set to return after being rested for the visit of the Latics - but Cooper said he had yet to decide who to play in goal.
Tyrell Belford has featured in each of Swindon's three JPT games to date this term but Wes Foderingham could be drafted in to satisfy the competition's guidelines.
Cooper told the Advertiser: "It's tricky, there are probably one or two who would have played who might not now because we have to have six of last Saturday's starting XI or six players who have played 75 per cent of the league games this season. We have to do it one way or another.
"He (Kasim) is one booking away from a two-game suspension. He's played nearly every minute - the same as Mass - so we decided to rest Yaser with (tonight) in mind.
"Yes people, and I understand, will say the league is important but in my opinion I picked a team that should have got a result on Saturday."
Of Mason, Cooper said: "I thought it was just an impact injury but it's an abdominal strain or a side strain and I'm not sure how long he's going to be."

Totally updated! We're totally updated!

The Church of Hysteria's 'Unmastered' CD!
New issue (#7) of Plastic Knife zine!
Three (#8, 9 & 10) great issues of Miss Helen's excellent Fly Away Bird!

Educational online game on the way from Gainesville startup
Published: Friday, July 25, 2014 at 6:25 p.m.
Last Modified: Friday, July 25, 2014 at 6:25 p.m.
A Gainesville startup is developing an educational online role-playing game designed to teach players the same subjects they learn in school.
Tyto is an online game set in the future aimed at middle and high school students. It was developed by Immersed Games, an educational game company based out of the Starter Space at 308 W. University Ave.
"We're really trying to expand what an educational video game is," said CEO Lindsey Tropf.
Tyto is set in a future where Earth is in decline and is evacuated. The player is admitted to Tyto Academy, a facility on a distant planet where he or she helps researchers and scientists solve problems.
The first module will teach the players about ecology. For example, one mission might involve a scientist tasking the player to find out whether a plant on the new planet is invasive, Tropf said. The player would have to find each plant in that species, compare its population over time and make a population map.
The game is in the genre of massively multiplayer online role-playing games, or MMORPG, similar to "World of Warcraft" but with educational puzzle solving instead of combat, Tropf said.
Players gain "levels" in areas such as life science, which allows them to tackle more complicated problems.
Immersed Games has consulted with educators to craft a rich learning environment, according to a news release from the company.
Tropf founded the company in 2012. She is a doctoral candidate in school psychology at the University of Florida, working on her dissertation on educational video games.
The company has five co-founders, among them a writer, a programmer and a creative director. Between 15 and 20 interns also volunteer their time to help with the project, Tropf said.
Tropf was inspired to make an educational MMORPG after playing "World of Warcraft" and realizing that she had learned lore from the game world, complicated game mechanics and strategies for success. She said she realized those kinds of games could be used to teach real-world school subjects.
The project has raised 42 percent of its $50,000 goal on the fundraising platform Kickstarter. The company also got $5,000 from Dell Computers after coming in second place in the Dell Social Innovation Challenge in December 2013.
The game is still a long ways off from hitting the market, Tropf said. Immersed Games is looking to begin a closed beta test later in the summer.
Immersed Games hasn't settled on a business model for Tyto yet, she said. Most games in the genre have traditionally used a subscription-based model that charges $10 or $15 per month. In recent years, more free games have popped up, though.
Tyto might use the subscription model, or it might use corporate advertising in the game to make it free. It also might have a tiered model in which the basic game offering personal-enrichment learning is free, with the option of subscribing to a premium account that is tied to real school curriculum.
"We've got several options," Tropf said. "We're going to have to play around with the business model."

Even P&F might not be albe to handle this.
Earlier today, it was annouced by 20th Century Fox that the long-delayed and anticipated sequel to X-Men Origins: Wolverine, titled The Wolverine, will be released on July 23, 2013, the same day as the P&F movie. It will also go up against the Dirty Dancing remake, which will probably do Footloose remake numbers.
This is deadly for the P&F movie. The older crowd will ignore Phineas and Ferb and instead head to The Wolverine, severaly damaging its numbers. Despite Phineas and Ferb's mega huge fanbase, it is likely The Wolverine will top it at the box office.
What do you think about this? Will it harm P&F? Or not do anything at all? Write what you think in the comments. As for me, I'm going to prepare for 2 new episodes on Friday :D FerbFlecher151 is out! PEACE!

Medical Definition of Falciparum malaria
Falciparum malaria: The most dangerous type of malaria, which is caused by the parasite Plasmodium falciparum. Falciparum malaria is associated with high levels of parasites in the blood and has the highest death rate and rate of complications of all types of malaria. Red blood cells that are infected with the parasite tend to sludge and lead to microinfarctions (tiny areas of dead tissue due to lack of oxygen) in capillaries in the brain, liver, adrenal gland, intestinal tract, kidneys, lungs, and other organs. Patients should be treated in a hospital setting, using intravenous medications.

These days, it seems like your can do just about anything on your mobile device: text friends, play games, even smoke a cigarette! You can download apps that researchers say promote smoking and experts warn they have the potential to encourage kids to puff.
Dr. Deborah Gilboa often talks to her kids about the risks of smoking.
"If we don't mention smoking they're liable to be curious about it on their own," she said.
Now she has to talk to them about the dangers at hand, both in the real world and in the virtual one. Millions of people wold wide are now downloading mobile apps that researchers say promote smoking. The American Cancer Society warns they appear to be targeting teens and children, with some rated for kids as young as 12.
"Ninety percent of adults who go on to smoke throughout their life began as children, so parents need to be aware that these are not benign or innocuous apps," said Dr. Thomas Glynn with the American Cancer Society.
More than 100 pro-smoking apps are available, ranging from virtual smoke sessions, to nicotine-themed battery widgets, to tobacco "shops" where you can roll your own cigarettes. Consumer Researcher Connie Pechmann says smoking simulation apps have sparked the most interest.
"You can put the phone next to your mouth where the microphone is and inhale and exhale and see the cigarette burn down," she said.
Pechmann likens these apps to advertisements.
"They make smoking look attractive and cool and edgy and fun and something you can do with your friends."
Right now the app world is largely unregulated, and the Federal Trade Commission says there is no evidence any U.S. tobacco company is involved.
"We do know that in a number of the apps, specific tobacco products and specific types of cigarettes are named, and we have not heard any outcry from the tobacco industry about that," said Glynn.
Gilboa was surprised at how easy the apps were to access on her Android.
"There's nothing you have to click that says I promise I'm 'x' number of years old," she said.
Currently, iTunes only ask for a simple age confirmation. Pechmann says more safeguards are needed.
"All you need to do is ask the kid 'What year were you born?" and 'How old are you now?', and that will throw off any 12-year-old," Pechmann suggested.
The American Cancer Society would also like to see warnings on the apps themselves.
"These warnings should say smoking can kill you, smoking causes cancer, smoking causes heart disease," said Glynn.
For now, experts say parents should keep the lines of communication open.
We contacted R.J. Reynolds and Philip Morris International and both told us they have no connection to these apps.
Full statement from R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Company:
"R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Company has no connection whatsoever, formally or otherwise, with these apps. As stated at our website, we believe minors should never use tobacco products and adults who do not use or have quit using tobacco products should not start. Also, no tobacco product has been shown to be safe and without risks, and quitting cigarette smoking significantly reduces the risk for serious diseases."
Full Statement from Philip Morris International, Inc.:
"To the best of our knowledge, none of the apps referred to in the study that was recently published in Tobacco Control journal are owned by Philip Morris International. Any use of our brands in the apps identified by the study was not authorized by us. We take the unauthorized use of our brands and trademarks extremely seriously and will take any action necessary to stop their illegal use."

Silodam (Housing Silo)
Amsterdam, The Netherlands
The Housing Silo is situated on the IJ River, at the tip of the pier, next to two former grain warehouses (silos) that have been converted. The IJ River served as Amsterdam's harbor in the golden age.
Then, when the harbor fell into a decline, the buildings, warehouses, and shipyards were left unused.
In the 1980s, when Amsterdam had a housing shortage, the city
regained interest in the river's potentials and a variety of
restructuring projects, where the designers tried to fuse the
remaining structure and character of the harbor with new
architecture, followed.
The 157 apartments, business units and public spaces, in the
Housing Silo, are compressed within a 10 story high and 20 meters
deep urban envelope. The apartments, rental and owner in different
sizes, are stacked in internally connected neighborhoods.
Each "house" differs, both in orientation and size; they can be half a block, a whole block, or diagonal over two floors, some with terraces or balconies others with patios.
The apartments are not only different in size and color, but
also by the placement of the interior walls that can be moved and
replaced by future inhabitants.
These groups of 4 to 8 "houses", of the same type, are recognizable by the treatment of the elevations and the colors used in the corridors.
Because of the various materials and colors the neighborhoods
are also recognizable from the exterior of the building.
On the west side of the building the dam has been "pulled"
through the under a large balcony, with magnificent views of the
IJ, that can be used by all residents. The business spaces
underneath the balcony share the same views.
Residents can walk through the building, passing different
facades and roof tops, under the building through the hall to the
terrace, or along the marina where boats can be docked.
Within the tight urban, structural and building regulation
boundaries, the limits put onto it by the desires and imagination
of government, clients, city, inhabitants and designers, the
building indexes the interaction between restriction and

SAINT LEO, Fla. – After posting a 13 goal first half, including nine goals in the second quarter, the Saint Leo men's lacrosse team held onto their hefty lead and picked up an 18-10 victory over the Adams State University Grizzlies on Monday evening at University Turf Stadium. The win advances the Lions record to 5-2 on the season, while Adams State drops to 1-2 on their young season.
Sophomore attackman Chris Caiazza scored a career high eight points as he rattled off five goals and added three assists on the night. George Proechel earned five points with four goals and an assist, scoring his 100th career goal and becoming the program's all-time career leader in points with his performance. Matt Obermeyer placed the ball in the back of the net four times. A total of 13 different Lions helped to put points on the scoreboard as the Green and Gold picked up their fifth straight victory.
A 12-goal lead at the half gave Saint Leo room to play 41 players from the roster as the Lions made easy work of their opponent. The first half saw Caiazza and Proechel tally all of their points for the night as the Lions sprinted out to an eight goal lead before ASU was able to put their lone first-half goal on the scoreboard. Proechel's 100th career goal came in the first quarter on his second goal of the evening at the 7:23 mark, matching the program career high in overall points with 150 (100g, 50a). Then, in the second quarter, the Orlando, Fla. native became the all-time leader in points on an assist at the 11:38 mark.
Between the pipes, freshman goalie Dave Moore saw a total of 27:11 minutes between the pipes. In his time in cage, the Lake Mary, Fla. native made three saves while allowing one goal. Justin Laxton took over for Moore with two minutes remaining in the second quarter, and spent a total of 22:42 in cage, setting aside seven shots while yielding only four. Joe May and Jesse Leeman also stepped into goal for the Green and Gold, with May earning one save on one goal allowed, and Leeman posting two saves while allowing four shots into the back of the net.
Adams State was led by Mike Telles, who notched four goals on the night, all on man-up situations. Seth Stowell matched Telles in points as he posted three goals and an assist for four points overall.
The Lions scored on six of nine man-up opportunities as the Grizzlies were whistled for a whopping 14 penalties for 12 ½ minutes. Saint Leo was called for 10 penalties for 10½ minutes, with only a 30-second technical penalty being called on the Lions in the entire first half. The Grizzlies were 4-for-7 on man-up situations.
Saint Leo trailed the overall shot count, 49-32, but had a .813 shots-on-goal percentage compared to ASU's .469 shots-on-target. The Lions led the game in ground balls, 29-23, and won 21-of-32 faceoff attempts. John Laronga won a blistering 9-of-12 attempts before Will Cothron took the reins, winning 8-of-13. Robert Figueroa was 1-for-1 from the line, while Mark Lang was 3-for-5. Laronga led the team with six ground balls on the night, while Paul Aramanda caused a team high two turnovers.
The Lions return to action on Friday, March 15, when they travel to Lenoir-Rhyne to take on the Bears in Deep South Conference action. Game time is slated for 7 p.m. in Hikory, N.C. Fans who cannot make it to the game can catch all of the action live on the Saint Leo Sports Network at SaintLeoLions.com.

Investors find it hard to price "optionality" in businesses. This refers to latent opportunities that have yet to be crystallised, and which require risk-taking to do so. When
Fairfax faces several potential futures, some bright, others in which it is dismembered. The most prosperous path is probably a delisted one where the business evolves into a multimedia investment platform, possibly merged with Nine or Ten, controlled by a small group of entrepreneurial shareholders.
Insulated by decades of print duopoly, Fairfax's management, staff and board lost sight of its reason for being. Executives saw their mission as providing a public good, or "editorially independent" journalism. This became an end in itself. The board was a trophy for members of the establishment. Both dysfunctions afflict the company to this day.
Fairfax has only one purpose in life: to make money for its owners. Editorial independence is nothing more than a brand dimension. And if you don't like the idea of maximising shareholder wealth, you should work for a public broadcaster.
The prevailing critique is that Fairfax's stewards failed its owners. In absolute terms, this is true. If you bought Fairfax shares in 1992, you would have lost 40 per cent of your capital, even after dividends. By contrast, investing in News Corp, Prime Media, or Seven yielded total returns of 200 to 300 per cent. Yet all these bets look bad compared with the wider sharemarket: a simple index fund would have quintupled your cash.
Since 2009 Fairfax has not done that poorly relative to peers. While you'd be down 72 per cent, that is a superior outcome to Seven and APM, and similar to Ten. Only News Corp, Prime Media and Southern Cross did better.
It is now accepted that Fairfax's board repeatedly made costly mistakes. Fairfax once dominated the employment, real estate and car classifieds. The three new online entrants that emerged, which Fairfax could have acquired, have a combined market cap of $6.2 billion today, or more than six times its size. Fairfax's in-house substitutes have consistently come off second best. While a conservative and bureaucratic culture thwarted innovation, external acquisitions, such as Trade Me, RSVP and Stayz, have proved more lucrative.
In retrospect, four signal errors were the $200 million plus investment in printing presses as circulation started to decline, the $2.3 billion acquisition of Rural Press in 2006 at a peak in the print earnings cycle, the $480 million acquisition of Southern Cross's low-growth radio assets in 2007, and, some say, the appointment of Rural Press's digitally inexperienced boss as CEO that year.
Rather than mitigating its dependency on diminishing print and radio advertising, Fairfax's board doubled-down. The multibillion-dollar question is why.
The first explanation is that Fairfax has long struggled with conflicts between its owners and their agents. There are currently no significant shareholders on Fairfax's board. Indeed, the total value of shares held by the seven non-executive directors is just $1.5 million. The board thus has little economic upside in Fairfax's success while wearing considerable downside risk. Decision-making has been sluggish, risk-averse, and the antithesis of the dynamic leadership the company required to traverse the disruptive challenges presented by the internet.
A second reason is the curse of incumbency. As a highly profitable duopoly, the board and staff had no incentive to adapt. They just kept producing the same products day in, day out and the rivers of gold materialised. Most large companies suffer this fate: the pioneering entrepreneurship that fuelled their ascendancy gets institutionalised out of the DNA.
A final explanation lies in Fairfax's environment. Rupert Murdoch has run parts of his Australian empire, which were globally inconsequential, on non-commercial grounds given the influence they bequeathed. And the ABC, which convergence has allowed to compete with traditional media, is a non-private entity. So Fairfax's rivals were not always bound by profit motives. More rational market disciplines were absent until the internet arrived.
Fairfax has nevertheless done some good things. It retains the most respected, trusted and valuable brands in Australian journalism. It has built two of the three most popular digital news platforms, smh.com.au and theage.com.au, which attract an extraordinary 5 million unique visitors each month. While print circulation has declined, Fairfax's consumer reach has expanded exponentially.
Fairfax has also kept critical, if flimsy, footholds in the online real estate, dating, cars and jobs domains, which supply its owners with strategic optionality. And it maintains Australia's premier subscription-based financial publications, which it is aggressively reinvigorating after years of neglect.
Fused with the nation's biggest regional print franchise, which has to date resisted the broadband threat, Fairfax has a formidable portfolio of "adjacent" assets, which, in principle, offer significant digital synergies.
Today Fairfax needs high-conviction direction driven by motivated owners. It needs to eliminate the agency conflicts, and reorientate and inspire a paralysed staff. It needs to make tough choices about what assets belong in the past, and those that will propel its prosperity.
Fairfax is demonstrably ill-suited to the harsh light and myopic reporting demands of a listed company. It needs the time and space to make long-term decisions.
Fairfax's greatest value lies in its networked universe of news, entertainment, finance, lifestyle and consumer sites. Dividing them would destroy the virtuous financial circle that "network effects" engender.
The SMH and Age might not be able to fully replace lost print revenues, but they are the network's energising hub. Properly harnessed, the 7.2 million people who traffic through Fairfax's universe are a unique and powerful channel through which it can incubate and project new businesses.
Today you could buy Fairfax for around $1 billion. It has net debt of $850 million. Selling the radio stations and the Trade Me stake would pay back most debt. After cutting its fixed-cost base, you would be left with an unencumbered business generating annual pretax earnings of more than $300 million.
The company is a Rubik's cube, no doubt. Experts are bearish. But acquired at a distressed price and combined with cheap television assets like Nine or Ten, Fairfax could be the enabling cornerstone in a high-growth, 21st century media platform.

"Hulking huge" upper Cambrian jellyfish fossils impress palaeontologists of the California Institute of Technology who discovered thousands of fossilised jellyfish, many as large as 70cm (28in) in diameter, in central Wisconsin (USA). According to a report in Nature Science Update, 30 Jan 2002, the fossils are buried in several different layers of a "fossilised beach" and form the largest deposit of fossil jellyfish ever found. James Hagadorn, who found the fossils, believes the jellyfish were trapped in stormy conditions in a shallow tidal lagoon and preserved themselves by digging into the sand trying to escape. Another palaeontologist, Ronald Pickering of the University of New Brunswick, Canada commented "They must have been buried extremely quickly". Because the fossils are found in several layers, Pickering also commented "It's not just a one-off event, it happened at least six times".
Editorial Comment: Such a large deposit of soft-bodied creatures could only be formed by rapid catastrophic watery burial. Wisconsin is also a long way from any present-day ocean. Ever wondered what fossil evidence would result from the world wide flood in Noah's day that had two catastrophic tides each day and completely reworked the surface of the earth? (Genesis 6-9) (Ref. jellyfish, catastrophe, Noah)

Cochran Bird Sanctuary Log Cabin
Cochran Bird Sanctuary Log Cabin
Phillips Academy
The Log Cabin was built in 1931 and was hoped to be a gathering place for undergraduates to go camping. It was constructed with large hand hewn logs from Nashua NH, and had one large room with a fireplace. It was stocked with beds, blankets and camping equipment. It had putting greens for the amusement of the campers, but did not catch on with the boys. It is now used largely for faculty/alumni events.

A HEALTH boss has addressed concerns expressed by the leader of a watchdog over controversial cuts which critics say will hit the vulnerable hardest.
Peter Pinfield, chairman of Healthwatch, wrote a letter to Dr Richard Harling, director of adult services and health at Worcestershire County Council, revealing the "significant concern" the public had about the potential cuts.
No decisions have yet been taken on the cuts with discussions expected to take place on February 12 following the closure of the consultation on January 21.
Mr Pinfield said he had concerns over whether volunteers would be able to take over certain services now provided by the council following cuts proposed in Future Lives. He also said some of the cuts, particularly in the area of prevention, flew in the face of 'current thinking' about health. He said delays in making an accessible version of the consultation document available had disadvantaged consumers with learning disabilities in giving feedback and the timing of the consultation over Christmas and New Year had not been ideal, limiting opportunities to respond. He also expressed a worry about consumers deteriorating to a level of substantial or critical need once supporting people services were withdrawn.
He was also concerned about 'digital discrimination' in terms of vulnerable people being able to access the internet for the services they need in the future.
Worcestershire County Council is facing a period of rapid and substantial change due to the growing financial challenges facing local government. The council needs to save £30 million in 2014/15 and then £25 million annually thereafter. With less money available, the council's priorities for investment will increasingly have to be its core legal duties. There will be less funding available for discretionary services. This includes prevention, early help and other support services for adults and young people, which were the subject of the recent consultation.
During the consultation period 10,000 hard copies of the questionnaires were printed and distributed with a freepost address for responses. The council also maintained a website where residents could submit a response online or download a questionnaire to complete. There were 4,113 visits to the website with 2,936 unique visitors and 213 mentions of #futurelives on Twitter with #futurelives was retweeted a further 109 times. There were 99 consultation meetings attended by over 1,500 people.
A total of over 1,800 responses including 5,500 comments as well as four petitions with over 2,000 signatures were received.
Dr Richard Harling, director of adult services and health at the county council said: "The council is committed to enhancing access to the full range of its services via the internet. The aim is to have a high quality website that offers a full range of information and advice relevant to health and well-being and adult social care, with signposting to opportunities in the community as well as an e-marketplace where services could be purchased, either with Direct Payments for council funded services, or by self-funders. We recognise that vulnerable people will need support to access the internet and will be working with service users, carers and the voluntary sector to understand what sort of support they will need and how we put this in place."
He said of volunteers: "With less discretionary funding available from the council we will need more volunteers to contribute to supporting vulnerable people. This will include 'good citizenship' (e.g. visiting an elderly neighbour) as well as organised volunteering through the voluntary sector. The council is working with the voluntary sector to develop a strategy to increase volunteering and build on community assets to increase the range and depth of support available in communities."

THE outgoing head teacher at one of York's largest secondary schools has paid tribute to staff and students ahead of her departure next year.
Maggi Wright, the head at Joseph Rowntree School in New Earswick, is set to retire after 29 years at the school at the end of the academic year.
As The Press previously reported, Mrs Wright made her decision to stand down in August after five years as head.
Mrs Wright began her teaching career 37 years ago, joining Joseph Rowntree School in 1984 as a head of department. She then became head of house and then fulfilled the role of deputy head for 11 years.
She said: "I have absolutely loved my time at the school – especially as head teacher – and have relished the challenges and opportunities it has given me. However, in May 2013 I will be 59 plus years of age and I still have other business ideas which I would love to pursue. Therefore, it is time for me to move on.
"I wish the school the best of everything and thank the staff, students, local authority, governors and parents for the support they have given me during the 29 years I have had at the school. I will always be loyal to the school and look forward to being supportive to the next head teacher."
Pete Dwyer, director of adults, children and education, said: "I would like to thank Maggi for her tremendously valued service both at Joseph Rowntree School and across the city. She was brilliant in establishing the new building at Joseph Rowntree and in creating a fabulous environment for young people to learn in.
"She will be missed by myself and her head teacher colleagues across the city.'' The school's deputy head, Andrew Janes, is also stepping down at the end of the academic year for personal family reasons, in order to become a full-time teacher again. He will continue to teach at the school.
Dr Janes has worked in the school for 15 years, the last eight of them as either assistant head teacher, or deputy head teacher. Assistant head Dot Hornby will also be retiring in summer 2013. She has been at the school for 27 years and is currently head of Year 11.

Summer camps fun, beneficial too
Wednesday, Jul 09, 2014 06:00 am
Youths who attend summer camp may be gaining more of an educational experience than they are aware of, even though the experience feels like child�s play.
A research project out of the University of Waterloo, called the Canadian Summer Camp Research Project, measured five areas of growth in kids who attended summer camp and found positive development in each area. The study found campers experienced changes in social integration, environmental awareness, self-confidence and personal development, emotional intelligence and in their attitude towards physical activities.
Those findings confirm what local camp councillors already know.
�For sure the kids learn an appreciation of nature, but they also learn teamwork and leadership skills. Camp gives kids a safe space to be who they are. It�s a place where often they are not with friends they know from school, so they don�t have to be who they are at school,� said Deanna Barker, from Birch Bay Ranch Summer Camp.
Barker went to Birch Bay herself as a youngster, then went on to be a summer camp leader and still works with the organization, which has camps for children aged eight to 12 and for teens aged 12 to 16.
�I�ve done everything here from being a camper, to volunteering on the rope course to teaching riding and now to communications. The biggest thing you see from an eight-year-old, who comes in shy, is the way they grow and come out of their shell,� Barker said.
Barker believes the camp gives children the opportunity to try new activities, without being afraid of being laughed at.
�They also benefit from being around good role models, since the majority of the leaders are university students, but they are still young enough the kids can relate to them,� she said.
Even children who attend day camps experience changes in emotional growth and self-confidence, said Sheila Chisholm, owner of Infinite Resources Inc., which offers year-round, all-inclusive camp experiences in St. Albert.
�All kids benefit socially from the camp experience. Our camps are all-inclusive, with children who may have problems with social anxiety, to those with Down syndrome and autism. We accommodate all kids and we don�t change kids to fit the program. We change the program to fit them,� said Chisholm.
Her campers enjoy occasional trips to the wave park along with indoor crafts and games.
Like Barker, Chisholm finds the biggest changes come because the children feel they are in a safe environment to try new things.
�That�s always our goal. This is summer camp after all. They have to have fun,� she said.
St. Albert Salvation Army Church offers week-long summer day camps and even in that short space of time, the kids change, said Marcia Berrisford, of the Salvation Army.
�Socially they learn through activities like games and sports and by playing they learn things like sharing and co-operation,� Berrisford said.
Berrisford maintains that the camp experience is different than school and must remain that way.
�At camp kids are away from home and family and away from school. The things you do at camp are apart from what you do in school or camping with your family. Hopefully, the memories are good and those memories stick with you,� she said.

Live in Dexter's House: Michael C. Hall's Hollywood Hills Home Is for Sale
Want to live in Dexter Morgan's house? Now you can – Michael C. Hall has put it up for sale! Pics inside!
-Lucia Peters
Would you expect blood spatter expert by day/serial killer by night Dexter Morgan to live in a bright, sunny home? Neither would we; but then again, Michael C. Hall isn't actually the character he plays on television. But speaking of that bright, sunny home, guess what? According to TooFab, the Dexter star has put it on the market!
Located at 7039 Senalda Road in the Hollywood Hills, the house was built in 1933 as part of The Outpost Estates by famed architect Hal Levitt. In fact, Levitt himself lived in the house from 1964 to 2004. Hidden out of sight of prying eyes, the 3,535 square foot home is celebrated as much for its privacy as it is for its sophistication (at least, according to its listing). It has an airy, light-filled living room with massive windows and an equally sunny dining room, from which a sliding glass door leads to the patio and pool. The kitchen features Italian tile floors and also opens to the patio—perfect for entertaining!—and the master bedroom sits on its own on the house's first level. It overlooks the canyon, so of course it's got some spectacular views. There's also a palatial master bath, two guest bedrooms and baths, and a gym/guest bedroom with its own 3/4 bath.

Faced by the fact that amino acids cannot form by chance, evolutionists looked for a new explanation of how life might have arisen spontaneously under the conditions of the primeval world. According to their new claims, amino acids in meteors falling to Earth reacted with organic substances and thus gave rise to life.
According to this view, the first organic substance originated beyond the Earth, on another planet. The spores or seeds of these organisms were then carried to Earth by meteors, and life thus began. In the light of our current knowledge, however, it doesn't appear possible for spores or seeds to withstand such outer-space conditions as cold, utter vacuum, and harmful radiation on their way to Earth-not to mention the intense heat and impact of passing through the atmosphere.177
It is impossible for meteors falling to Earth to carry living organisms with them because of the high temperatures created as they enter the atmosphere and the severity of their impacts. Above you can see a crater left by a meteorite in Arizona. Even if one postulates the existence of life beyond Earth, there can still be no other explanation for its origin than creation.
Conditions in space make it impossible for life to survive. The well-known Russian scientist George Gamow says:
. . . there is a still more serious threat awaiting spores traveling through space than freezing to death. The Sun is well known to emit a significant level of ultraviolet rays. These rays, only a small proportion of which are permitted to pass through the atmospheric layer surrounding the Earth, represent the most serious danger to these micro-organism spores with no defensive mechanisms with which to protect themselves, and are sufficiently powerful to kill them instantaneously. For that reason, even a fictitious journey by these bacteria to the nearest planet will still result in death. Another study conducted in 1966 led to the "out of space" hypothesis being totally abandoned. The most highly resistant micro-organisms were installed on the outer surface of the spacecraft Gemini-9 and this was then launched into space. Examinations revealed that these micro-organisms all died within seven hours. Yet according to this hypothesis, the bacteria that supposedly gave rise to life must have traveled for many years. 178
The crystal-clear fact that emerges is that it is impossible for micro-organisms to reach Earth from outer space. However, even if large quantities of amino acids had come from space, and even if the entire surface of the primitive Earth world was covered with them, this would still not account for the origin of life. It would be impossible for amino acids to combine randomly and haphazardly and form an exceedingly complex, three-dimensional protein; for proteins to form the organelles in cells; and then for these organelles to produce the miraculous structure of the cell itself.

Rosewill Cases, Keyboards, and More at CESby Jarred Walton on 1/14/2014 7:26 PM EST

lever_age - Tuesday, January 14, 2014 - linkThe Legacy line, which I saw on newegg already earlier, are from OEM Jonsbo. Europe's had them under the Cooltek label for a while. Reply
pierrot - Wednesday, January 15, 2014 - linkTheyre also on newegg's site under the DIYPC brand, i got one and it looks very nice, perfect ITX HTPC case Reply
Dentons - Tuesday, January 14, 2014 - linkRosewill has real issues with quality control. This is Newegg's house brand, so Rosewill products are frequently discounted and are generally priced near the bottom. It's often tempting to purchase a Rosewill branded housing, component, or peripheral.
When a Rosewill branded peripheral seems the only reasonably priced option, you start to think, how can they get that wrong? It's such a simple piece. Well, they can.
In my long experience with Rowewill equipment, at best, you'll get an adequate product. In most cases though, you'll get a poorly assembled product that is prone to malfunction.
Even their cases suffer this. We've purchased many of them, no moving parts, should be simple. Out of the box, broken clips and other issues. It's often easier to fix these issues yourself than deal with Newegg RMA.
If Newegg could do one thing with their Rosewill line, it would be to trim the breadth of the offerings and bring in real quality control. Reply
dac7nco - Wednesday, January 15, 2014 - linkAgreed. About the only Rosewill-branded products I've ever has pleasant experiences with have been a few "Hive" PSUs. Rosewill cases are like my Norco racksl; broken drive sleds, rattling fans, bent metal. Reply
JarredWalton - Thursday, January 16, 2014 - linkI've used a couple of their higher quality cases and PSUs without complaint (80 Plus Gold), and their keyboards so far have done fine as well. If you're buying a $50 case, it's probably a different story. Reply
purplestater - Friday, January 17, 2014 - linkI've bought at least eight Rosewill cases, for myself or friends, over the last six years and haven't had an issue with any of them. Reply
wsjudd - Wednesday, January 15, 2014 - link"Rosewill also had an as-yet-unnamed compact mechanical keyboard on display, and I believe it may be RGB backlit, but it wasn't playing right with the powered USB hub so I couldn't get the full demo. If it is RGB LEDs, it won't be using Cherry MX switches, so that will be interesting to see what the keyboard feels like in comparison to the Cherry MX keyboards."
RGB backlighting (e.g. backlighting that be changed to any colour in RGB space) is as far as I know only possible with the new Cherry MX RGB switches, which are apparently exclusive to Corsair for one year. There are non-Cherry mechanical switches (e.g. Alps and (arguably) Topre) but they're quite rare for gaming keyboards - most likely this was just using Cherry MX switches of some kind with non-RGB backlighting. Reply
Mr Perfect - Wednesday, January 15, 2014 - linkThe comment on RGB LEDs ruling out Cherry MX switches is confusing to me. All Cherry MX housing have a small indent with lead pass through on them for mounting an LED. Many boards use it for the Lock-key status LEDS or backlighting. Why would this particular board having a RGB LED on each switch not work that way? Reply
alaricljs - Thursday, January 16, 2014 - linkBecause that little spot for LEDs is for a 2-lead 3mm LED. RGB LEDs which you have control over each of the 3 elements require 4 leads which requires a 5mm minimum package size to accommodate. There are 3mm RGB LEDs but they color cycle all on their own. Reply
JarredWalton - Thursday, January 16, 2014 - linkI believe Corsair has an exclusive on the Cherry MX RGB LED switches, at least short-term. Maybe that's not correct, but I think Rosewill also mentioned the switches are not Cherry, but wouldn't tell me the brand. Reply
JDG1980 - Wednesday, January 15, 2014 - linkThat Legacy MX2 is an odd design - they have the intake fans on the bottom like Silverstone's FT02, but the motherboard isn't rotated. That's unfortunate, since it means that the video card will block most of the airflow, and the CPU cooler will be starved in comparison. Reply
JarredWalton - Thursday, January 16, 2014 - linkBut most GPUs that are large enough to inhibit the airflow to the CPU are also going to be using the lion's share of the cooling (under load). A 250W GPU needs a lot more help than a 77W CPU, or even a 125W CPU. Reply
BigLeagueJammer - Wednesday, January 15, 2014 - linkI only have one Rosewill product, a USB KVM switch. It's worked well for me over several years. From the few other comments here, It sounds like quality control largely depends on the product line. Reply

If you are living on the Australian countryside chances are that having a car is vital for you. Without a car, you can't get to work. Without a car, you can't get to the next grocery store. Without a car, you can't get your grandma to the doctor when she needs to see him. The list of reasons why you need a car goes on and on.
The problem a lot of people are facing when it comes to getting a car is the price. Due to the bad economy money is tight, and it's not that easy to come up with several tens of thousands of dollars to pay for a car.
Does this mean you can't get a car? No.
Fortunately, somebody invented a way to get a car even when you don't have the money to pay for it right now. This invention is called a car loan.
Now, let's get straight to the point. Everybody knows that you can finance a car with an auto loan today.
But where should you look to get the best rates available?
When it comes to financial products such as insurance policies or loans, it is very hard for the everyday person to compare products and make a well informed decision.
When you are looking for a loan to get a car, you need to know that you can get them from your bank, from your car dealer and brokers.
To keep a long story short, the best place to look for CAR LOANS is a broker that can get you a custom tailored loan for your personal situation. These companies are cooperating with all different kinds of banks and financial institutions; they are experts in the subject, and they get great rates from the lending companies which they pass on to their clients.

Energy: the Forgotten Crisis
(Adopted by Council on May 06, 1996)
Our nation's complacency about the energy problem is dangerous. While the understandable result of currently abundant supplies of energy at low prices, such complacency is short-sighted and risky. Low-cost oil resources outside the Persian Gulf region are rapidly being depleted, increasing the likelihood of sudden disruptions in supply. Energy-related urban air pollution has become a world-wide threat to human health. Atmospheric concentrations of carbon dioxide, other greenhouse gases and aerosols are climbing; this will cause changes in temperature, precipitation, sea level, and weather patterns that may damage both human and natural systems.
The introduction of non-fossil-fuel energy sources, new ways of producing and using fossil fuels, and myriad energy-efficient technologies have helped to improve our energy security and to reduce environmental stress. In an era of growing global energy demand, such innovations must continue.
The Council of the American Physical Society urges continued and diversified investments in energy research and development, as well as policies that promote efficiency and innovation throughout the energy system. Such investments and policies are essential to ensure an adequate range of options in the decades ahead. Our national security, our environmental well-being, and our standard of living are at stake.

Total consumption fell by 340 thousand bbl/d (1.8 percent) last year. Motor gasoline consumption accounted for the bulk of that decline, shrinking by 260 thousand bbl/d (2.9 percent). In 2012, total consumption falls by a further 170 thousand bbl/d (0.9 percent). The year‐over‐year decline in total consumption narrowed from 680 thousand bbl/d in the first quarter of 2012 to 110 thousand bbl/d in the second quarter. In the third and fourth quarters of 2012 EIA expects a turnaround in total liquid fuels consumption with a smaller year‐over‐year decline of 30 thousand bbl/d (0.2 percent) in the third quarter and a projected year‐over‐year increase of 120 thousand bbl/d (0.6 percent). Most of the recovery comes from natural gas liquids, which rise because of continued growth in industrial use and the assumption of near‐normal weather this coming winter.
In 2013, total liquid fuels consumption grows by 60 thousand bbl/d (0.3 percent), led by a 50‐thousand‐bbl/d (1.2‐percent) increase in distillate consumption and 30 thousand bbl/d growth in liquefied petroleum gas consumption. Despite an assumed increase in the growth rate of U.S. real disposable income from 1.1 percent in 2012 to 1.7 percent in 2013 and projected declines in retail pump prices of almost 6 percent in 2013, forecast motor gasoline consumption declines by 30 thousand bbl/d (0.4 percent). Gasoline consumption continues to fall because of slow growth in the driving‐age population, the acceleration of improvements in the average fuel economy of new vehicles, and increased rates of retirement of older, less‐fuel‐efficient vehicles.
Domestic crude oil production increased by an estimated 210 thousand bbl/d (3.9 percent) to 5.7 million bbl/d in 2011. Forecast U.S. total crude oil production increases to 6.3 million bbl/d in 2012, the highest annual level of production since 1997. Forecast lower‐48 onshore crude oil production grows by a robust 670 thousand bbl/d in 2012 and output in the Gulf of Mexico stabilizes after having fallen last year, but Alaskan output continues to decline by 30 thousand bbl/d. In 2013, total crude oil output rises a further 390 thousand bbl/d, most of which is accounted for by increases in lower‐48 onshore production. That increase is driven by increased oil‐directed drilling activity, particularly in onshore tight oil formations. The number of onshore oil‐directed drilling rigs reported by Baker Hughes has increased from 777 at the beginning of 2011 to 1,191 at the start of 2012, and to 1,429 as of August 3, 2012.

Reversible Thermoelectric Nanomaterials
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Misc. Tech
Physicists Dr. Tammy Humphrey and Dr. Heiner Linke have discovered that a particular structure and configuration of nanowires can have remarkable thermoelectric properties. Meaning that electricity can be generated from heat differentials across materials. Even better, the thermoelectric effect is reversible. This means that the nanomaterial could operate as a heat pump, in essence transferring heat. What does this all mean? There are a few things this can bring to the table - processors that don't require fans, precise control over temperature for labs and sensors, and refrigeration without pumps or chemicals. They also say it could have significant uses in energy production and transportation such as transferring engine heat to electricity for hybrid vehicles.

Xbox 2/360 Launch Lineup May Shock The Industry
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Video Games
In an interview with the official Xbox magazine of Japan, Mr. Yoshiki Okamoto says there are many other 'big name' game developers getting behind the next gen Xbox. He said, "When announced, the lineup of launch games for the console may shock the industry." Hironobu Sakaguchi (Final Fantasy), Tetsuya Mizuguchi (Space Channel 5), and Yoshiki Okamoto are all legendary game creators in Japan. This is just one of the ways Microsoft is committed to winning the hearts and minds of Japanese gamers while wowing their American audience too. Okamoto said that if the current lineup of launch games in development for the next gen Xbox was revealed, there probably wouldn't be anyone in Japan who would be uninterested in buying one. Those are big words, but aren't they always before a launch?
Then there's Shane Kim who took over as head of Microsoft Game Studios (MGS). He has led some of the largest and most successful game launches in the publisher's history, including Fable and Halo 2. In an interview on xbox.com, he says "We've also built some great franchises that customers love and look forward to playing for many generations of Xbox, like Halo, Fable, Project Gotham Racing, and the upcoming Jade Empire and Forza Motorsport." Obviously, these games will continue to live their life on the next Xbox.

Interesting Gmail Storage Algorithm
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Internet
On Friday, April 1, Google announced their "Infinity+1" plan for Gmail accounts. The first day, we lucky Gmail account holders gained about 1MB. The second day, the gains appeared to slow down somewhat. We weren't holding our breath, considering the announcement was made on April Fool's Day - and sounded pretty foolish to boot. Here are the details of the Google storage algorithm:
- Gmail is currently rising at 1/1000 MB every 25 seconds
- A 1MB increase takes a little over 6 hours and 56 minutes
- Every day storage increases by 3.456 MB
- By April 1, 2006, Gmail accounts will be up to about 3300MB
- It takes 289 days to increase 1 gigabyte
So is Google really going to just continue to increase storage infinitely? A look at the source code indicates that the madness will end when mailboxes reach 2075 gigs:
That only applies until it reaches 2075 MB. Check the source:
var CP = [
[ 1112331600000, 1025 ],
[ 1112439600000, 2050 ],
[ 1113062400000, 2075 ]
Oh well.

PSP Multiplayer With Just One UMD Game
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Video Games
Okay, so you want to play a PSP game against a friend or two and you only have one copy of the game. On Sahas Katta's blog, he tells how he and a friend played Twisted Metal multiplayer with only one copy. Basically, it involves starting a multiplayer Ad-Hoc game with an unlimited amount of time. After the game has booted up on a system, you remove the game disc and place it into the next PSP. That next PSP joins the Ad-Hoc game set up by the first, and they are set. You can continue this with as many PSP's as are allowed to play the multiplayer game. There are a few other intricacies to making it work nicely, so check it out. This one is just too cool.

ThermalTake Xray PC Lighter and Cup Holder
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Accessories, Mods / Hacks
What the heck? Apparently this thing has been around for a while, but it's news to me. Basically, the Thermaltake Xray fits into a 5.25" drive bay, and provides a bit of comfort for chain smoking, beer-swilling computer users. You see, the Xray provides both a beverage tray and a cigarette lighter. The light can be removed, and you can use the port to charge in-car accessories like a cell phone. Now you can finally be the envy of the LAN party - it's just sad that it took this to get you there.

PistolMouse FPS Gun Shaped Gaming Mouse
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Peripherals, Video Games
For those of you looking to blur the line of fantasy and reality even more, check out the PistolMouse FPS. Basically, this is a gun shaped mouse meant to be used in computer first person shooters. Rather than using your mouse to frag others with a quick left-click, you can now actually pull the trigger to take down your foes. Don't know how comfortable this would be, or how accurate - the manufacturer, MonsterGecko, says it increases accuracy, but that is what they are supposed to say, right? Nonetheless, it costs $39.95 with a 30-day money back guarantee. It works via USB on Windows, Mac, and Linux boxes.

Rio SE510 Forge
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Portable Audio / Video
Rio has dropped a budget priced Forge on us - the SE510. The higher-end Forge, pictured above on the left, is darker in color and has porthole screws. Other than that, they look exactly the same. The new SE510 is a 512 MB flash-based MP3 player, but unlike the Forge, it does not have an integrated FM tuner or SD card slot. The end result - the SE510 is about $25 cheaper than the Forge. It looks like Rio has chosen to continue the odd naming scheme for the budget versions of their audio players.

SyncBoxII: Portable USB Data Copier
Posted by Oscar M. Cantu Categories: Accessories, Handhelds
Ever wanted to transfer some files from your friend's USB flash drive to yours, but didn't have a computer around? With the SyncBoxII from Macally, you will never have that problem again. The handheld device allows you to transfer files from devices that use USB ports to other USB devices. This is great alternative to Apple's iPod Camera Connector since it's not iPod-specific. Now for the money question: Can it support iPod to iPod (or other hard drive based digital audio players) music transfers? No word yet, but time will tell. The MSRP is set at $49.95, and the web site states the SyncBoxII will be "coming soon".

TrafficGuage Mobile Traffic Map
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Handhelds
If you live in Seattle (like me) or Los Angeles, you know a thing or two about traffic. I-5 can be a total nightmare during rush hour. TrafficGauge brings a portable device that alerts you to the traffic conditions in realtime. It runs on two AA batteries and lasts for about six months. It doesn't win any points for looks, and I wonder what the benefit it of dropping $50 in addition to the $5 monthly fee on the device when I can just turn on the news at home or on the car radio. The reason I mentioned Seattle and LA earlier is because TrafficGauge only supports these two areas for the time being.

Kamui is a powerful dōjutsu which originates from the Mangekyō Sharingan of Obito Uchiha. A unique and specialised form of space–time ninjutsu, it allows the user to achieve two very distinct, yet closely associated feats — teleportation and "intangibility".
Kamui allows the user to transfer anything to another dimension. Once a target is sent to this dimension it is unable to escape.[1] This technique, when used through Obito's right eye, is also able to make the user "intangible" by transporting portions of their body to the same pocket dimension.[2] Obito was able to activate Kamui the moment he awakened his Mangekyō Sharingan,[3] while Kakashi, who awakened his Mangekyō Sharingan at the same moment as Obito without realising, didn't have access to it until sometime after Sasuke Uchiha's defection and made first use of it in the series during his encounter with Deidara.
Kakashi Hatake likens the characteristics of this technique to those of Minato Namikaze's Flying Thunder God Technique, but notes that it seems to be much more versatile since it requires neither a seal nor a summoning tattoo to be performed.[4] The side of the eye using the technique determines the range and detailed properties.
Each of Obito's eyes is able to transport objects to the other dimension. By creating a swirling distortion, the user is able to open a void into the other dimension. This technique's effect acts as an attractive force, both visibly drawing the target inwards and distorting their form until they disappear, although physical contact is required to absorb a target. After absorbing targets through this process, the user is able to eject them from the eye used at any time of their choosing, demonstrating the ability to eject objects with varying degrees of force. This is demonstated by Obito, who uses it with weapons of various proportions and/or quantity with relative ease and at a moment's notice, giving opponents little to no opportunity to react accordingly.[5]
Another unique trait of Kamui is that it allows the user to teleport to any location they desire, including the other dimension. When using Kamui to teleport living beings, including the user, whatever the target is touching will be warped along with them and their chakra becomes untraceable.[4] Despite not always being present, Obito can keep his targets under genjutsu while they are confined inside this pocket dimension and thus, keep them incapacitated for extended durations.[6] Template:-
Left Eye
The left eye's primary use of Kamui is based on line of sight and, as such, does not require physical contact to warp a target into the other dimension (also, Kakashi doesn't centre Kamui around his eye unlike Obito). By focusing to create a barrier space and concentrating on the target within, Kamui will distort space and the target will be drawn into the other dimension. When Kakashi first used this technique, it required great concentration and was difficult to aim, dragging in only Deidara's arm when he aimed for his head. By the Invasion of Pain, Kakashi was able to use Kamui to stop a speeding nail from penetrating his head. Later, during the Fourth Shinobi World War, Kakashi also displayed the ability to teleport himself.
Right Eye
The unique trait of this eye is the ability of intangibility. When activated, any part of Obito's body that overlaps with a solid object is seamlessly warped to the other dimension, making it appear as though he is phasing through them. Using this ability, Obito can dodge most attacks, and by overlapping his entire body into large objects, he can not only conceal himself from view, but erase all traces of his chakra. Obito is also able to enter and travel through the ground using this ability, a characteristic he often exploits to ambush his opponents from below.[7] Though he is unable to establish any physical contact while being intangible, Obito can still use chakra chains.[8] He also seemingly possesses the capability to extend this intangibility to whatever he's touching at the moment of activation,[9] as long as he is able to maintain some form of contact with at least a part of the desired item or person.[10] Obito centres his Kamui around his right eye and also requires physical contact with the target to warp them.
Since this technique is shared by two different users of the same pair of eyes, both parties can use their own technique to counter the effectiveness of the other, thus making it useless to use against one another directly.[11] Obito can extend this negation to targets outside of his own body, as he negated Kakashi's attempt to decapitate the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path's head.[12] Similarly, Kakashi was able to escape Obito's attempt to trap him in the other dimension.[13]
Left Eye
The Mangekyō Sharingan is a dōjutsu that, with continuous usage, burdens the user with the loss of their eyesight. Since this is the source of Kamui, using it in rapid succession puts Kakashi's body at risk as well. As his Sharingan was transplanted, usage of this technique poses an even greater risk to Kakashi. Similar to Amaterasu, repeated use of the technique puts a great deal of strain on the user, causing his left eye to bleed if overused.[14]
Kakashi was originally only able to use this technique up to at least three times in a given day, even when starting at full strength. At first, Kakashi's aim and control over the size of the barrier was imperfect. Over time his aim and control improved, as he was able to accurately warp away small and fast moving objects, such as a nail.[15] Kakashi is even able to consecutively warp away two fast-moving arrows.[16] Later, he became able to use this technique several more times in a single day and attempted to use it to decapitate the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, although he required a considerable amount of time to prepare the necessary amount of chakra and the technique was ultimately negated by Obito.[17] After being given chakra by Kurama, Kakashi was able to use his long range variant of Kamui to quickly transport a target as large as Gyūki to the other dimension and later eject the tailed beast from his eye,[18] as well as utilise the technique more times than he would usually be capable of. He estimated that the influence of Kurama's chakra, when given directly by Kurama, made his usage of Kamui at least three times more powerful than usual.[19]
Right Eye
In Obito's case, the primary weakness of this technique is that both aspects cannot be used concurrently, as he must become and remain tangible in order to transport himself or others, providing a small opportunity in which he is unable to pass through objects and thus, is vulnerable to injury. This deficiency means that he must also materialise when ejecting stored items as well, presenting the same vulnerability.[20] According to Konan, Obito can only maintain his intangibility for approximately five consecutive minutes at a time, after which he is presumably rendered completely solid for a duration. She also reveals that the time it takes him to absorb something is proportional to its mass, and that it takes longer to absorb himself than another person or object.[21]
Additionally, due to the nature of Obito's intangibility, the sections of his body residing in the other dimension can still interact normally with other objects that are also contained within said dimension, meaning they can be damaged by such items, a characteristic that Kakashi exploited to injure Obito on multiple occasions during the Fourth Shinobi World War.[22] While controlling the Ten-Tails, Obito was unable to extend his intangibility to the beast or his means of connecting to its head, and was separated from it as a result.[23]
Unlike most other Mangekyō Sharingan users, Obito's extensively continuous usage of the Kamui technique does not seem to tire him at the very least, nor even cause his eyesight to deteriorate.
Kamui is the word for a divine being in Ainu mythology, although it is almost never written with kanji in modern times. In a more general Japanese context, Kamui refers to the might and majesty of the gods, particularly the Shintō Kami.
- The Third Databook seems to hint that other Mangekyō Sharingan users can access the technique through sheer training of the eye, though this is unconfirmed.[24]
- Occasionally, in the anime, when Tobi goes to absorb his opponent he does not touch them, this is a mistake that the animators made as in the manga there is always bodily contact. A notable occasion of this is when Tobi fights Danzō's bodyguards, he does not have any physical contact with Fū when he absorbs him.[25]
