Are there examples of foreshadowing in the Lottery other than the stones being collected?
- print Print
- list Cite
1 Answer
There is at least one example of foreshadowing which might be even more telling and ominous than the collecting of stones. Mr. Adams observes that some of the other towns in the region have started talking about doing away with the lottery, which suggests not only that the same type of lottery has been conducted in other places but that there is something objectionable about it. Old Man Warner strongly opposes the idea of even talking about giving up the lottery. He believes it could invite misfortune. It so happens that he has been participating in his town's lottery for seventy-seven years, which means he must have seen seventy-six people stoned to death. He has probably formed the notion that he personally is protected by some sort of magic charm. No doubt he has seen some good friends, and possibly even relatives, stoned to death in his long lifetime, and he must have participated in killing them.
Shirley Jackson does a marvelous job of telling this story. She holds the reader's interest without giving too much away. The ending comes as a shock even though the reader has been getting an uneasy feeling about this strange lottery in an isolated town in Middle America, where everything seems normal and rather humdrum--and yet there is an air of dread or something intangible making the people seem not quite normal and folksy and ordinary.

When I was in year one I was the perfect student, when I was in year two I was the perfect student, and then year three standards have slipped pretty far, I still got two A- and one B+ last semester. This semester is not hard but I have no motivation, I am tired, I have had two kidney infections in the last two weeks. I have two assignments due, that I cant write because I cant keep my eyes open due to the medication I am on. Things in my life have changed and I feel like I have more to juggle now. I am scared about graduating, why did I choose a career that does shift work when I have two small children, am I even going to get a job, am I going to feel better soon so that I can work on my assignments, CV and portfolio, learn interview techniques, apply for a job, prepare for clinical placement (my last one). ARRRRGGGGHHHHH
OK that felt good to get it out, change it round now, everything is going to work out, I am going to graduate, I was suppose to become an RN, I was born to do it, I will get a job, the kid thing will work itself out, good positive thoughts out to the universe :)

You are almost there. You WILL make it. I think when you have kids things tend to get a bit more scary. There are so many more things to worry about because you have to think about someone other than yourself. Things will always work out. Somehow, they will. ((HUGS))
Deep breaths....you have made it so far already.

Ron Coleman Trail is a 7 mile lightly trafficked out and back trail located near El Paso, Texas that features beautiful wild flowers and is rated as difficult. The trail offers a number of activity options and is accessible year-round. Dogs are also able to use this trail but must be kept on leash.
dogs on leash
nature trips
rock climbing
wild flowers
Hike through Upper Fusselman Canyon to a scenic overlook. Follow the trail up the canyon. At 0.45 miles, the main trail keeps right. DO NOT follow the wash up. At 0.5 miles the trail will zig-zag up the hillside covered in red rhyolite rock to the ridgeline. On the ridgeline at 0.80 miles, turn left and follow the trail up to the Elephant's Trunk at N31.86502 - W106.49520. There are a few small caves at the trunk. There are several possible trails up and down, so pick your route as you like.
A bit tiring, but well worth it. Beautiful views, plants of many kinds, insects galore, and not to mention the reptiles, i loved the several kinds of lizards i got to see.
I have walked just several sections of this trail, from the trailhead at Transmountain Road and from the trailhead at Mc Kelligon Canyon. This time, I decided to walk the entire out and back trail starting at the Mc Kelligon Canyon. In my opinion this is the best trail of the Franklin Mountains, although it is difficult in some sections because the steep, the loose stones and the climbing of rocks, you find the most beautiful views of the mountain, the canyon and also from the two sides of El Paso. It took me 6 hours and a half to walk the about 7 miles of the entire trail, but I was not in a hurry, so I took time to meet people, eat my snacks and stop several times to contemplate the amazing scenery. This is definitely the best view of the Franklin Mountains. It was also a great cloudy day with delicious fresh breeze, even though it was summer time, I enjoyed a lot. If you want to do this trail, do not bring your dog, wear a good pair of hiking boots and a walking stick, and you will enjoy a lot as I did.
I have had 2 knee surgeries in the last year and am still recovering from my last knee surgery and implant. I expected this trail to be much more challenging for me and didn't think I'd make it to a half mile in since I can't bend my knee at all and can't do stairs with my left leg. I was quite surprised that I made it a mile up before needing to stop and turn around because the trail got too steep and too rocky. This was a great trail, very quiet and pretty with lots of rock formation.
Definitely a difficult hike with a mix of climbing and hiking, especially from McKelligon Canyon. Beautiful views and a busy trail. The trail is a tricky one. Take a pack with you with water, snacks, first aid and plan for several hours depending on how far you go.
I completed this trail through two different hikes. Started on Transmountain and went to the South Franklin Peak and back, and went from McKelligon Canyon to the peak and back. I really loved the hike from the canyon. Great views and the rock climb up to The Window was a great addition to it. I'd say it's a pretty strenuous hike. But it's well worth it.
Hike is advertised as 4-6 hours one way. I managed to hike it in 2 hours, south to north, due to my Mountain Cougar like hiking abilities. Beauty views and the chain scramble was fun!
Best hike in El Paso. Dont take this trail lightly, be prepared with at least a day pack.

Principal Chad Smith – Affordable Quality Distance Education
A school was usually thought of as a physical building, which includes a roof, desk and chairs, along with folks who assumed special roles, such as teacher and student. The teacher determined what was educated and passed the info on to the students, and awards scores to indicate their advancement. The old-fashioned concept of the classroom is experiencing a remarkable change, and appears to be slowly heading to oblivion. Due to an increasing requirement for options, some schools began offering classes in the evenings or on weekends. Principal Chad Smith Online degrees call for the student connected to the educational material on the internet. On-Line education can occur in a number of fashion and forms, but the inherent usage of the Web and related technologies remain fundamental. Communicating, the lessons and evaluations all occur by way of the World Wide Web.
Among the common procedures used in getting an education on the internet is the instructor- led or facilitated model. Here the teacher establishes the content and delivery of the instruction. There's not much critical difference from the conventional classroom experience. In a quality online class, there's frequent interaction together with the instructor, either publicly or privately. Some online teachers are known as facilitators where they supply resources for the pupils to contemplate and eases their understanding by means of a succession of discussions or actions. As discussions may often replace lectures in most cases, educators exist in the internet environment, nevertheless, their roles and activities may differ from the traditional classroom. Another common model used in degrees online is self-paced. The computer-based education is given without an instructor.
This really is the model that's utilized in the world of business, as a lot of corporate training is provided through Web-based applications. This is much like PowerPoint slides that could be accompanied by an audio or video. The price savings with this model are rather critical as the need for physical facilities and travel time are removed. Perhaps on of the top characteristics of online degrees is that when it is convenient for you, you get to work. You can work your class around other actions. It doesn't meet at any designated time when the class is asynchronous; there's no synchronization of schedules. Nevertheless, appointments could be due on a prescribed schedule. Some on-line degree courses may demand that you be in attendance in real-time, with explicit instructions concerning the program that is required. Advantages of getting a web-based degree mean you can be everywhere, and not in exactly the same physical location. The student saves substantial time plus money.
All You Need To Know About The Principal Chad Smith
On-university education vs. education that is online! Is the other better not than one? Can one other Be entirely replaced by one? Indeed it would appear that online education may be the way of the near future. Government organizations and educational corporations, firms likewise previously offer different types of coaching that is automated. Nonetheless, could some type of computer really replace a blackboard as well as a?
Every individual features a kind of understanding that fits them best. Many people attain great results of pc in courses taught online, nevertheless a lot of people drop-out -led courses. In finishing up team teaching organizations, in addition to educational institutions, should observe that there's no great method to carry the teaching of the huge number of persons out, and so must design packages that best fits the wants of the party all together.
Folks study employing numerous feelings. This involves understanding through sociable conversation with other students and also both trainers, in addition to both the different parts of a training course. Students learn from successes and eachotheris blunders, not only from the things they are instructed by instructors.
Every individual pupil has a great learning velocity. Coaches are consequently faced with the process of developing programs that move ahead such that those learners with a slower learning rate don't get left out, without shifting thus slowly that pupils with quicker learning paces get bored. Go to the below mentioned website, if you are seeking for more details about Chad Smith Principal LA.
Inside the age of high speed data exchange, education that is online is becoming a popular and low-cost opportinity for delivering teaching to folks away from classroom, and in some situations all over the globe. Teaching could be websites, via CD, or through real-moment online establishments such as webcasts, webinars and virtual classrooms. However, various methods of education that is online each have their very own benefits and drawbacks.
Online education continues to be a somewhat new idea, as well as in several areas however while in the periods that are teething. As a result, numerous problems appear across online education conditions that are various. For example:
Lack of quick feedback in asynchronous learning environments: While some online education environments including digital classrooms, webinars and webcasts operate live with the supplement of a teacher, many do not. Instructing that is sent via a CD or website, while obtaining the advantage of being home-paced, offers no immediate feedback from the live trainer.
More prep required around the part of the teacher: within an education atmosphere that was online, an instructor cannot merely offer a class and stand in top of the whiteboard. Lessons in online education environments must be organized ahead-of-time, together with recommendations and any records that may accompany the training.
the engineering used to deliver that coaching, although most of the time it would also be necessary the tutor not only recognizes the concepts being trained. the talent is therefore increased by this -amounts required of education instructors that are online, placing greater requirement on educational establishments.
Staffing amounts can also be larger for courses run-in an internet education atmosphere, requiring for instance:
The Trainer – in a position to train equally program information and be competent in systems involved's usage
The Facilitator – to help the trainer in giving content, but can perform so slightly
Help Desk – to offer assist with coaches, facilitators in the use of both application and hardware used-to provide the class.
Not absolutely all individuals are confident with online education: the worldis youth no longer just seeks Training. By having an improved tendency towards continuing and adult education, there's a must design lessons suitable for pupils over a larger era-variety, together with pupils from different and unique backgrounds. It is hard, nonetheless, to design education situations that are online suited to everybody.
An elevated possibility of stress, panic, and distress: in a online education environment, a greater variety are of parts making the system that will crash up. Host failures may stop online programs from operating. Software-based coaching applications may need particular pieces that are other to function. Computer infections may contaminate software necessary to run education settings that are online. If these systems are complicated, individuals might select On's ease -college education instead of acquiring effort and the extra time required to master the usage of online education programs.
Developing nations and the Digital Divide: lots of people who are now living in remote places do not have access to computers, making any kind of online education virtually unattainable. That is why, education that is online is barely in a position to be geared towards the people fortunate enough in order to reap the benefits of the technology concerned. Equally, providing live coaching around the globe implies that coaches that are qualified increase the demand for adjustable-.
In addition to these, there are also many legal issues associated with preserving an internet education atmosphere. For example, specifically those relating to trademark, mental property regulations, might or may well not totally include electronically-created intellectual-property. For instance, info on an internet site isn't necessarily regarded as public domain, despite being open to everybody. However, the Foreign Trademark Work was changed in 2001 to make sure that trademark proprietors of automated components, including education situations that are online, might continue steadily to provide their works.
However instruction's most common kind is standard classroom-model understanding. These coach-led environments have the advantage of allowing for quick feedback both to and from pupil and educators alike, and are more particular than online education surroundings. Nevertheless, the classroom allows for less versatility than programs runin online education situations.
While nevertheless sustaining the ambiance associated with the classic classroom setting trainers in modern class situations continue to be in a position to benefit from many types of automated teaching resources. For instance , PowerPoint slides can be employed instead of blackboard or a whiteboard. Handouts might be spread ahead of the occasion via class websites. Nevertheless, on the time, pupils are still able to positively take part in the training.
Like online education surroundings, On-college education includes particular disadvantages, the most typical that is the classroom itself. This requires a group of people which, in a school like, could achieve a few hundred persons in size, to assemble within the same location at the moment. This requires monetary motivation and great moment on behalf of both the individuals as well as the academic company.
Nevertheless, it is this type of environment that is many familiar to pupils across the world. People of all-ages could access a classroom setting feeling confident with the way in which that there is -function program a class carried out. Older students who might not be more comfortable with information technology's use are not needed to understand their means through education surroundings that were online that were probably complex, creating On-campus education probably the most accessible type of training.
On-campus education has one benefit that 100% digitally provided lessons can not present – interpersonal connection. from noticing, not only what is created on a site or offered in a slideshow, but what exactly is observed in others, learning comes. Many learners so may wish to ask issues of their teachers, and are naturally inquisitive. The classroom setting allows students to explain what's being taught not simply learners that are additional, but although using their trainers.
There's no kind of instruction that will best match every pupil. Studies have shown (Can online education change On-university education) that courses where online education can be used to complement On-university education have proved more efficient than programs sent completely employing only one approach. These courses make the most of both online education products along with a live instructor, and have made benefits higher than those of students in often 100% online education or class environment classes. Students have the advantageous asset of the fast feedback and sociable connection that is included with the classroom setting, together with the ease of home- online education segments that can be undertaken when the student is best suited by it.
It would seem that online education settings won't ever completely exchange On-university education. There is no "one-size fits-all" approach to training. Educating styles will continue steadily to adjust to discover the approach that the learning team is fit by best. Employing a mix of online education surroundings and classroom sessions, academic organizations, businesses and government businesses can make sure that instruction is delivered that's powerful and easy for both pupils and trainers alike.

I met her while working (She was a waitress at a restaurant I started to work in, as a waiter too. We are both part-timers). We hit it off relatively well when we first met and I was attracted to her so I got her contact. I started to text her and she sounded a little cold in the beginning but eventually warmed up and we texted a lot. I asked her out for dinner and she said OK only if it's a friends thing. We continued to text without me sounding needy
So we met up and we had a great time. She really enjoyed herself and was showing signs of attraction (Like laughing at everything I say and kept the conversation going. I was the one who said we should get going because her parents were strict and I didn't want her to into trouble). Somewhere along the way I mentioned I didn't do something and she said we should add to our to-do list. I thought that was an indication that she really enjoys spending time with me and wanted more.
So after that night, I asked her about meeting again but she's busy with rehearsals (a play coming up for her), so I was like ":( a long time before we meet again." She just ended it with a "haha!" and went to sleep without saying goodnight.
Then slowly she seems to be avoiding making plans with me again. More like she's mostly not free (due to rehearsals) but she's not specially making time for me either. Sometimes her texts to me sound really enthusiastic but sometimes it just seems cold.
Most Helpful Girl
Texting is great for making last-minute plans and confirmations, but it stinks in the sense that we've grown so dependent on non-verbal communication. We're meant to interact with each other live, so this level of technology sort of fails us at some point.
Texts are really for "On my way" or an urgent "Running late, be right there!" not for prolonged conversations. Then again, I'm from an older generation and have nephews your age who all text their gfs/wives/etc. Of course, they have the same complaint, and I have the same advice to give them.
Try a bit more live conversation. Use her tone to determine her level of interest. If she's in front of you, watch her eyes. Is she distracted? Just try to get beyond the whole texting phase...10|10|0
When we were out that night, I know that she wasn't distracted. In fact we had a great time together just talking. I called her for a chat earlier but I think she was little uncomfortable because I called her out of the blue. I admit she's not totally into me.

Every day thousands of cancer patients need rides to and from cancer-related medical visits. This is a major challenge in many parts of our state. Three organizations are actively spearheading solutions to this growing transportation challenge.
The Methodist Estabrook Cancer Center is offering free transportation within a 20-mile radius of the Center's 84th Street Omaha campus for individuals who need screening mammograms, active cancer treatment or follow-up visits with their physician. For more information, contact Peggy Jarrell at 402.354.4213 or Amy Milke at 402.354.5143.
As part of the American Cancer Society's Road to Recovery program, volunteer drivers donate their time and the use of their vehicles so that patients can receive the life-saving treatments they need. If you or your loved one needs a ride to treatment, call the American Cancer Society at 800-227-2345 to be matched with a volunteer, or click here to enter your zip code for programs in your area.
Cancer patients in Lincoln who don't have access to transportation for treatment can now take part in the new Wear Yellow Cab Ride Program. The program started November 1, and is supported by its dedicated sponsors and Wear Yellow Ride, Fun Run & Walk participants. Click on the links for more information on this program that is also available to patients in Omaha.

Together with his teammate and prodigy, David Goosen (who has been signed for Capper's 2016 team), Capper conquered the three races of the championship: He won the first and final race, while the second race was won By Goosen.
The Enduro NiteX is a spectacular championship night race that has taken place in five rounds; the race took place on a challenging course that was designed by Mike Puzey. After a tough race, the formidable South African, Redbull champion, Brian Capper, and his team came out victorious.
Brian Capper has proven that anything is impossible, and that not even the sky is the limit. The Yamaha team definitely has much to celebrate; they were 1st and 2nd overall – A great way to end the year! We wait with bated breath to see what victories 2016 has in store for Capper, his team and sponsors.

Canada, as a travel destination, is one of the more sought-after and cost-effective vacations for many people from countries all over the world. No matter what you like to do, be it watching world class plays, outdoors concerts with the likes of Neil Young, Anne Murray, The Tragically Hip, or any number of Canadian or international acts, the cultural scene in Canada is as diverse and compelling as anywhere else on this wonderful planet. But, you usually do not come to Canada to see a show.
Why would people come to Canada on a vacation? Stop at any of the airports that have international flights and ask the hundreds of thousands of people who come here each and every month why they chose Canada as their travel destination. You will hear things like the friendly people, the mix of culture and arts, the food, the prices, the mountains, rivers and lakes. But most of all, people come to Canada because it is more or less one of the safest places in the world to visit. You will not be set in the middle of a civil war in Canada, nor be the target of radical Islamists. The roads are safe to travel on, and you can stop and sight see anywhere you heart desires without having to go through road blocks and show your papers to greedy and corrupt officials.
When travelling to Canada, the outdoors is usually what draws the crowds. There is really no better vista than the British Columbia Rocky Mountains for a fall photography session, camping alongside pristine lakes chock full of trout, and enjoying the sports that are so popular here. Mountain biking, skiing, zip-lining, bungee jumping, swimming in clean, clear Pacific ocean waters or just sight seeing can all be done in one day, if you have the energy to do so.
From Prince Edward Island, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and Newfoundland and Labrador, you can go whale watching in most seasons, have an eye-dropping cheap and plentiful seafood dinner, go deep sea fishing in the hunt for the elusive blue-fin tuna, mackerel or the worm-infested cod fish (yes, each and every cod fish has worms when they are caught, the worms are dug out before the "meat" is sold). Hikers are overjoyed with Cape Breton and it's inland lakes, the sea vistas and the rolling, dangerous highways that hug the Atlantic ocean ever so closely.
Canada as a travel destination has been one of the most sought-after places in the world for over a hundred years. Not bad for a country that is only about 143 years old, depending upon how you decide what makes for the originating time of the country. Almost all of the peoples in Canada are either immigrants, or bred from immigrant stock, and that makes for a friendly working relationship between peoples of all races. And, this carries over into the tourism trade, as most of the tourism-related business owners are fourth and fifth generation Canadians.
So come and see Canada, you will not be overcharged, and you will find that the people are friendly, the businesses and restaurants first rate, and the amount of things to do are nearly endless. And, the beer's pretty good too, eh!

Time and Your Protagonist
Time is something we all know. There are twenty-four hours in a day, seven days in a week, and four weeks in a month. Part of the time you're asleep and part of the time you're awake. Those waking hours are filled with pretty mundane stuff. We exercise, eat, shower, go to work, come home, watch TV, read a book, go to bed and then the next day we do it all over again. These are the "comb-your-hair" moments in our lives, moments that everyone has but they are boring and no one wants to read about them. So, how does a writer pick which scenes to draw out and which ones to skim over?
A writer picks the emotional moments to dwell on, times of the heart. This can be warm-fuzzy moments; or it can be heart-thumping, on-the-edge-of-your-seat moments. Albert Einstein once said, "When a man sits with a pretty girl for an hour, it seems like a minute. But let him sit on a hot stove for a minute, and it's longer than an hour."
To apply this to your writing, take a look at the following moment--
A nurse places an infant wrapped in a soft, velour blanket into the waiting arms of a joyful new momma, who is ready to take her new little one home from the hospital. The proud papa stands beside mother and child, love beaming from his eyes as he takes in the scene he thought he'd never experience. He had no idea how powerful the love of being a parent could be until now.
That's a soft, warm-fuzzy moment full of emotion. You weren't sure who the main character was until feelings came into play, the feelings of the father. This scene could go much slower as the father sets his eyes on that perfect child, describing each detail and how the infant looks like his wife, or his mother. This is a time to slow the scene down and focus on what's in Papa's heart.
Let's try the heart-thumping, on-the-edge-of-your-seat moment--
A nurse comes into the hospital room with no baby in her arms. George notices a concerned look on her face, but says nothing to his wife, Marsha. The nurse asks if Marsha noticed the baby having trouble breathing at her last feeding. Shock pales Marsha's face as she tries to think. She shakes her head and looks to George; her eyes framed with fear. As George takes Marsha's hand, the nurse explains to the couple that their baby girl is having respiratory problems and a specialist has been called to examine her. They should know more soon. With that, the nurse leaves. The room spins as George fights the nausea churning his stomach. Marsha bursts into tears. George cradles her in his arms as he fears their dream of a family is in danger.
Okay, so we've put George on the stove, haven't we? His minutes will be hours as he waits to learn what is happening to his child. He's not having the usual "comb-your-hair" day. He is full of fear worried about the fate of his child. It doesn't matter that he got out of bed that morning and had a bowl of oatmeal before going to the hospital. No, the moment to write about is this moment that is full of emotion.
In the first scene the emotion was different. Emotional moments--whether they are soft, warm and fuzzy or heart-thumping, on-the-edge-of-your-seat--are the times to write about through your protagonist's feelings.
Now, should every scene be filled with tension and conflict? We'll discuss this next Wednesday.
May your writing muse be with you…

This one is so important, I think. And it ties back in with your post about character perspective too. What will you spend your "time" thinking about/acting on.ReplyDelete
Great post! I've tweeted it...ReplyDelete
Mystery Writing is Murder
You're right, L.T. It is important. Thanks for making the connection with character perspective. :)ReplyDelete
Elizabeth, you've tweeted it? I've got to get on Tweeter. I hope you had some good responses.ReplyDelete
Time is so relative - it's fun to play around with different ways of handling it in the story :)ReplyDelete
Jemi, so true. I'm working on a romantic suspense right now and it's amazing how much time is spent on the tender moments opposed to the tense life-threatening moments that call for shorter sentences. Fun, definitely.ReplyDelete
Great post, Kathi. Being able to mess with time is one of my favorite things about writing. I especially like making it slow down so I can experience everything.ReplyDelete
Carol, thanks! Nice to know I'm not the only one who likes to play around with time. Now if only we could do the same with the time in our own lives. I'd really like to sleep less. ;)ReplyDelete

Ztylus Apple Pencil Case – Review – Best case for the Apple Pencil?
The Ztylus Apple Pencil Case may add some thickness to your Apple Pencil, but in this case, you may actually want it.
The case also includes some extra features such as an integrated clip for a more organized storage and a retractable tip, which will help protect the fragile tip on the Apple Pencil when not in use.
The extra size definitely isn't for everything, as some may like to use the thinner design of the Pencil, but for those who find they like using larger markers or highlighters will find this case solves a lot of their Apple Pencil problems.
If you're looking for a stand, we've reviewed the Sena Apple Pencil Stand that looks stylish and is quite functional (for a block of plastic).

The Japanese Strategic Self Defense Force, or JSSDF, is a military organization under the joint control of the U.N. and Japanese government with the task of protecting Japan. It is seen as the primary antagonist in The End of Evangelion.
Known OperationsEdit
They have been shown operating against the Angels many times but had no victories. They are also shown as to invading NERV HQ to prevent the Third Impact (From what they were told by the government and the government was informed by SEELE).
The JSSDF has access to extensive weaponry and vehicles, both foreign and domestic. Unlike NERV, the JSSDF is overwhelmingly a conventional military force. They are also heavily involved in the research and development of several directed energy weapon projects, such as the positron rifle.
The pinnacle of the JSSDF arsenal are N² Mines, the most powerful conventional non-nuclear explosive devices ever created by man.
The JSSDF's mechanized ground forces operate conventional vehicles like main battle tanks, Humvees, mobile rocket and artillery MLRS platforms and other mainstays of modern land warfare.
The JSSDF's air wing operates many large Heavy Fighter Jet-VTOL aerial gunships, which effectively wield the firepower of a flying battleship. Its arsenal also includes smaller VTOL craft (which are more mobile), fixed-wing bombers, and large "flying wing" craft used to transport Evangelions (be it shipping an Eva between North America and Japan, or deploying Evas directly into combat against Angels).
Infantry forces wear black bodysuits and helmets, while officers and rearguard staff wear berets. Troops appear to wear light combat armor, as their suits cannot stop .45ACP rounds, apparently sacrificing safety of individual soldiers in exchange for rapid deployment and maneuverability. Frontline personnel carry riot shields when assaulting fortified positions. This is of course only for the assault on NERV headquarters a lightly guarded facility built to with stand Angel attacks.
The standard-issue small arms are the Heckler & Koch G11 Assault Rifle, the Fabrique Nationale P90 Submachine Gun and the Hi-Power Pistol. Select squads are also armed with rocket-propelled grenade (RPG) launchers or flamethrowers.
- The Japanese Strategic Self Defense Forces might be a counterpart to the real Japan Self-Defense Forces

If you had asked me within our first 3 days there, I would have recommended it. The 4th day, I was starting to get sick of it, and the 5th and 6th I could not wait to leave. The food is AWFUL. I am not a picky eater, and had seen the reviews saying the food wasn't great and thought they were just picky. THEY WEREN'T. The food was very repetitive, and by the last couple days we were there, we had paid for all inclusive but couldn't even stand to go there to eat. Very pretty location, however the water was way to rough to do anything all except for the one day we were there. The walk to go to Legends wasn't bad for distance, but the locals are BRUTAL. I expect to be hounded anywhere I go like that, but this was the worst. Never have I had people be so rude, for politely saying sorry, we aren't interested. I was called all kinds of volatile names for a few men there because I wasn't interested in what they were selling. I did hear from a few people though, that they purposely are rude to the woman to get a reaction from the man and proceed to jump and rob them. I found the security to be much better at the Samsara then the Legends.... I don't know if I went back, which one I would rather stay at. I would recommend if doing Jamaica, to do a couple nights in Negril and a couple at Montego Bay. We went to the Duns River Falls... They were quite nice, but about a 3 hour drive from Negril. If you are catching a cab, if you can get him (he works at the airport) his name is Conrad, and I HIGHLY recommend him!! He is what started and ended our trip well!! Overall, I wouldn't recommend it for more than a couple days, but if it was a short visit you would probably be happy for the money spent. And the common complaint that the beds are VERY hard is accurate.

Title : Data Structures for Question Answering Systems.
Descriptive Note : Technical rept.,
Corporate Author : NAVAL POSTGRADUATE SCHOOL MONTEREY CALIF
Personal Author(s) : Gibbons,Gregory Dean
Report Date : NOV 1972
Pagination or Media Count : 51
Abstract : Data bases for question answering systems are models of reality. Such models can be considered to be sets of assertions. Sophisticated models must cope with consistency problems due to the Frame Problem. Processes that derive answers to questions should be included in the model, and question answering systems should be able to discuss such processes. Uniform processes are too rigid to support intelligent question answering systems. Further understanding of nonuniform processes may derive from development of nondeterministic programming languages. The SIR model, the CONVERSE model, and the DEACON model are compared. Directions for research are proposed. (Author)

We are ordinary, real women who desire to walk through life together, as we make God's Word our guide. We offer a morning and evening session to suit every schedule. Join us as we journey through the Bible together!
If you are looking for a way to stay connected over the summer, we have an opportunity for you. We are offering a six week summer Bible study. This informal study will be looking at some of the things we all wrestle with; worry, discontent, doing enough, navigating change, healthy relationships and more. We will look at one of these areas each week from the Bible. We often know the verses but we want to learn how to put God's Word into practice – so we can live in His freedom and joy. The format will be exploring passages of scripture together (no book) with time to share how God is teaching each Person. We are unable to offer childcare for this study.

No other school has brought the fashion runway to college football like Oregon.
So it's no surprise that Nike is making a big deal out of its latest creation for the Ducks, which you can see here.
From the release:
Nike will celebrate the Ducks' return to the Rose Bowl with the debut of its latest Nike Pro Combat system of dress – the most advanced football uniform system ever assembled.
This fully integrated uniform system, debuted in its first iteration by the University of Oregon during last years' BCS National Championship Game, incorporates the pinnacle in performance innovation and design from the world's most renowned athletic outfitter. The new uniform provides enhanced thermoregulation and more durability with the inclusion of Nike Chain Maille Mesh – a lightweight ultra-breathable material – used in both the jersey and pant.
Is it just me or do the helmets suggest a certain intergalactic villain?
I've always liked the Oregon uniforms that go with dark green as the base color. Not a big fan of the bright yellow or lime.

There are a couple of really, really stupid things making their way through Congress.
One is HR 600, aka the "FHA Subprime" which will mark the return of the seller-funded downpayment programs for federally-backed mortgages. Yes, you read that right, one of the most abusive bubble-era practices is back.
It reminds me of all the people who were happy that they could write off the interest on their mortgage. I never got it why they were so happy. Here is a sample transaction.
I have product A which in a normal market would sell for $100. You are the buyer, you're willing to spend $100, so the transaction happens. Now, however, I know that you can write off a chunk of the purchase on your taxes so you are actually willing to pay $120 if it is costing you $100 in the end. Guess what is the new market price? $120. By knowing that you have the write off, I simply raise the price and capture the surplus all to myself.
So what happens in the real estate business? The taxpayer is subsidizing the home builders, the banks and the real estate sales people who capture the surplus and yet tell the buyers that the buyers are getting a good deal and, even, the buyers should take out the largest mortgage possible to get the biggest deduction.
The seller-funded downpayments work the same way: I jack up the price and "give" you a downpayment. Mortgage Implode has it all, including who to call to take action.
The second brilliant idea from our elected representatives is the "Tax Wall Street to Pay for Wall Street's Bailuots", or HR 1068. Peter DeFazio's idea is to tax stock, futures and options transactions 0.25% of the value each way (bought and sold). The idea is akin to taxing coffee to cover tobacco-related diseases. Just because the two sometimes go together does not mean that coffee should be taxed. This bill, if passed, will destroy liquidity in the capital markets much the way SarbOx killed many IPOs in the US and continues to burden unfairly small businesses. I should be shocked that someone so clueless is an elected representative but I am not. Where is James Traficant when you need him?
On a more positive note, try Wild Turkey Rare Breed Small Batch Barrel Proof Bourbon. I enjoy this fine beverage neat. The first few sips were a bit sharp but I quickly developed a taste for it. It is 108.2 proof (54.1%): straight from the barrel, uncut with water to the usual 80 proof. I am not a big drinker and I am not a big fan of the mainstream bourbons and JD but specialty bourbons , like Eagle Rare 10 Year Single Barrel, have been thoroughly enjoyable. I found this review for Wild Turkey on KL Wines: "90 points from the Beverage Tasting Institute: "Deep amber color with an olive hue. Buttery caramel, toasted nut, and delicate anise cookie dough aromas. A round, supple entry leads to a fruity medium-full body of chocolate covered caramel corn, rich baking spice, pink peppercorns, and nutty bread dough flavors. Finishes with a sweet and spicy honeyed rye, toffee, pepper, and mineral fade. This is a delicious and instantly appealing bourbon that will shine in cocktails, particularly Manhattans.""
I think I missed the delicate anise cookie dough, the pink peppercorns and the mineral fade, but everything else is right on.
I have the feeling that the someliers have contributed to the Full Employment for English Majors Act of 1995. Or may be it is the marketing people trying to imply that you, too, can develop a sophisticated palate only if you buy more of their products.

Punjab National Bank, Modinagar Branch (Ghaziabad) suffered a great loss, when burglars, sometimes over a weekend drilled two-foot hole into the wall of the strongroom of the bank. They entered through the entry they made and stole valuables and money from 30 lockers. The exact amount of money that had been stolen is not confirmed yet but it can easily run into crores.
The branch is located on NH-58 and is adjacent to an L shaped plot on which sits an abandoned rubber factory. On this plot, an empty office is right behind where the bank's strongroom is, sharing a common wall.
The burglars entered this office, and cut the hole in the common wall, which is about nine inches thick, at a height just above where the lockers end.
The loss was discovered when a bank staffer, Anil Bhargav, and the head cashier, Ajay Kumar, opened the strongroom on Monday around 9:45am.
Ajay Kumar, opened the strongroom which has two security doors.The steel door of the strongroom can be opened with a set of two keys, kept in the custody of these officials, only when they are inserted together into the keyholes.
After opening the steel door, the officials were about to open the next door which is an iron grille like those found in prisons. However, they noticed through the grille that things had been scattered inside the strongroom. They also noticed that several lockers seemed to have been broken. They immediately called up the police control room, They then informed the police about the robbery.
Bank officials said there has been no security guard at the bank. "The strongroom had been closed on Friday around 6pm. The bank was closed for two days after that. A security alarm is also installed inside the strongroom apart from a CCTV camera. Even if the alarm went off, there was no one to hear it since the bank was closed. There was no security guard at the branch. The branch depended on police patrol vehicles for security," said S.K Pancholi, assistant general manager.
There are total 435 lockers in the bank out of which 96 are not in use at present, burglars managed to open only 30 lockers, but it is evident that they tried to open other lockers too. The burglars also stole a double-barrelled gun kept inside a steel cabinet inside the strongroom though the iron chest containing the bank's cash reserves had been left untouched.
Senior officials of Ghaziabad police reached the bank after receiving the call, along with a forensic team and a dog squad. Fingerprints have been lifted from the scene.The bank operates out of a rented building which once belonged to the now-abandoned Modi Rubber Factory .According to officials, the building has now been sold to Haryana Distelleries which has continued with the rent agreement.
On the other side of the bank is a building which houses the office of Modi Spinning & Weaving Mills Employees' Union. Cops used the ladder of a fire engine to enter the compound of the abandoned factory whose walls are at least 30-feet high.
According to cops, the room from which the burglars had drilled the hole contained a small steel almirah, a table and a typewriter which are also in derelict condition. Police said the burglars had broken the cement-concrete of the nine-inch-thick wall with the help of hammers and pickaxes while its steel frame was cut open with the help of blade saws. The equipment has been recovered by police from the spot.
Scores of anxious customers thronged the bank throughout Monday. Valuables worth crores are allegedly missing from the lockers.Many complained that their entire savings have vanished.
An FIR was registered in Modinagar police station on Monday on the basis of a complaint registered by bank officials.

MegaCon 2104 Gets SHI Exclusive Visit

Comments Off on MegaCon 2104 Gets SHI Exclusive Visit
Press Release:
March 18, 2014
Bayport – New York
March 1994 saw the debut of Billy Tucci's modern-day samurai fable, "Shi", when "The Way of the Warrior" #1" first hit the comic shelves and created an unlikely self-publishing smash hit that still resonates to this day. Illustrated by Tucci, co-written with Peter Gutierrez, and colored by Barry Orkin, "Way of the Warrior" transcended independent publishing with a unique melding of Japanese mythology, history, and action not seen before in comics and inspired a host of imitators.
Now after twenty years, three Eisner award nominations and 3 million copies in print, Shi kicks off an anniversary celebration tour with a new series and rare exclusives.
"All of our London exclusives have sold out and now we're planning more extremely limited books and prints exclusive to the conventions I'm attending this year." Tucci noted, "And I can't think of a better way to kick off our Shi 20th Anniversary Celebration Tour than at a show very near and dear to my heart, MegaCon!"
The tour's American leg begins this weekend in Orlando with the exclusive the "Shi – Way of the Warrior #1 MegaCon 20th Anniversary Edition" book and lithograph. Both are limited to only 25 editions with each signed and numbered by Billy Tucci.
MegaCon will also see the American debut of the "The Shi – Way of the Warrior #1 20th Anniversary Sketch Cover Edition" and all-new exclusive Shi lithographs.
Tucci concluded, "I cannot believe it's been twenty wonderful years since Shi's debut on the world stage and the original MegaCon Tampa show in 1994 was my first comic convention so this is going to be a great homecoming."
Capullo, Finch, Prado, and Reis Added to Baltimore Comic-Con 2014

Press Release:
Baltimore Comic-Con Announces Banner List of All-Star Artists!
Capullo, Finch, Prado, and Reis Join the 3 Day Party!
BALTIMORE, MARYLAND – February 10, 2014 – Year after year, the staff at the Baltimore Comic-Con strives to make our show bigger and better, and our 15th annual event will be no different. The premiere 3-day gala occurs the weekend of September 5-7, 2014!
Our announced guests today are noteworthy for their artistic contributions to the industry, and specifically their recent work at DC Comics.
After some initial success at small-press publisher FantaCo, Greg Capullo landed work in the 1990s at Marvel Comics on titles such as Quasar, What If..?, and X-Force. Todd MacFarlane approached Capullo to do work for him at Image Comics on MacFarlane's Spawn, which led to a run on the title, spin-offs, and other notable titles under the Image umbrella including Haunt and Capullo's The Creech. DC Comics wooed Capullo to take over art duties on Batman during their New 52 relaunch, a run that went on to earn great accolades.
Joining us from Canada, David Finch received recognition for his early work at Top Cow Productions on titles such as Cyberforce, Ascension, and Aphrodite IX. He then went on to spend a number of years at Marvel Comics, working on blockbuster titles including Ultimate X-Men, Avengers (and the relaunched New Avengers), and Moon Knight before jumping into an exclusive contract with DC Comics in 2010 where he flexed his writing muscles as well as his drawing skills on Batman: The Dark Knight. He is currently working on DC's Forever Evil.
The Brazilian team of Ivan Reis and Joe Prado will also return to the Baltimore Comic-Con in 2014! Reis began his career at Dark Horse with a long run on Ghost and follow-up work on The Mask, Time Cop, and Xena. He has worked on Marvel titles like Avengers, Iron Man, and Defenders, and at DC on Action Comics, Teen Titans, and Superman. Prado's line work has graced the pages and covers of DC Comics' Superman, Teen Titans, Birds of Prey, and Rann/Thanagar War. Together, they are currently working on Justice League and Aquaman and The Others, also from DC Comics.
"We love what these gentlemen have brought to the DC Comics Universe, and comics art in general," commented Marc Nathan, promoter of the Baltimore Comic-Con. "It is an absolute pleasure to welcome them back, and we know our fans will be thrilled to hear they'll be joining us again!"

FORT HOOD — Brig. Gen. Tammy Smith is still learning how to introduce her spouse, she said.
The two met 10 years ago, but for more than seven of those years, Smith's relationship with Tracey Hepner was a fireable offense.
"I had to train myself to introduce her," said Smith, deputy chief of staff for the U.S. Army Reserve. "It's emotional to be able to do that."
The one-star general traveled from Fort Belvoir, Va., to be the guest speaker at Fort Hood's first Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Pride Month observance Wednesday at Club Hood. It was hosted by the III Corps Equal Opportunity office.
"We celebrate pride month because the military is an organiza-
tion that values its people," Smith said. "We celebrate pride month because we want to be an organization that attracts and retains the best all-volunteer force on the planet."
More than 200 people attended the event, giving Smith a standing ovation after she shared her story.
Hepner said she had to take a moment Wednesday morning to really take it all in.
"Less than three years ago, I couldn't even exist. ... (Today) I was a guest of the commander," she said.
During the event, six civilian and soldier volunteers read the presidential proclamation recognizing June as LGBT Pride Month.
First Lt. Omar Villa, of III Corps, was one of the volunteers. He was in his ROTC program at North Georgia College and State University when "don't ask, don't tell" was repealed and said he has never really faced any issues since arriving at Fort Hood about a year and a half ago. In January, he married his spouse, Matthew Lowery, in Seattle and the two were excited to attend the pride event.
"Any challenge we've faced, isn't in the military," Villa said. "In my section, I'm blessed with people who totally accept me. ... Any problems have been off post."
After the Supreme Court struck down the Defense of Marriage Act in June 2013, the federal government soon began recognizing the marriages of same-sex couples. Some states, including Texas, still do not.
"I'm proud of him in this situation," Lowery said. "I know we are in a red state, so I'm proud of him for stepping up."
Capt. Robert Caruso, an openly gay chaplain with 4th Battalion, 227th Aviation Regiment, 1st Air Cavalry Brigade, 1st Cavalry Division, gave the opening and closing prayers. He said he appreciated Fort Hood making such an event possible. Not only was listening to Smith's 22-minute speech inspiring, Caruso said, it showed those struggling with similar issues in their personal life they are not alone.
"There's someone out there who knows a little bit about what they're going through," Caruso said. "It's helping those to seek out people to help them with their journey in life."
For Smith, that journey led her to live separate lives — one with her military friends, and another she could never acknowledge in uniform for fear of outing herself. She began her freshman year as an ROTC cadet at the University of Oregon the same year the Defense Department created policy to make being gay a mandatory discharge.
For 24 years, she lived a double life. Once she met Hepner, the pressure and mental stress became so much she nearly retired in 2009. After the repeal of "don't ask, don't tell," in 2011, the couple married in March 2012. Smith became the first openly gay general officer when she chose to have Hepner promote her.
"I would have been disrespectful to Tracey had I continued to live that lie when I didn't have to. I would have disrespected my family to not be authentic in what we were entering into," Smith said. "It had nothing to do with my orientation. It was an expression of my family. ... However you comprise your family is your family. And that's OK. It's your support system."

Promoting Creativity through Integration of Arts & DesignFaculty members in engineering and technology are working with their counterparts in the fine arts to integrate Engineering, Technology, and Arts (ETA) and develop an experimental Design Track in the existing Mechanical Engineering master's program at IUPUI. Students in the proposed ETA Design Track will acquire real-world problem solving skills through short-term programs with industry and national laboratories. This project involves the development of three interdisciplinary courses: (i) Irregular, free-form, and origami inspired structures, (ii) Optimal design of mechatronic systems: toys, robots and interactive structures, and (iii) Environmental pollution and emission control. The courses will be team-developed and taught by faculty from programs in interior design, video art and interactive installations, mechanical engineering, and electrical engineering technology. These three courses will constitute the proposed ETA Design Track and support a new Graduate Certificate in Design. Pedagogical approaches will include problem-based, studio-based, and experiential learning. The project will test the ability of ETA curriculum integration, as well as experiential learning in industry or government laboratories, to enhance creativity and innovation among participating graduate students.
