If Kyushu's got a reputation for one thing, it's for having a broad range of absolutely scrummy dishes. Food Expo Kyushu aims to introduce locals and visitors to all the delights this island has to offer, making the most of the sunny (but not stuffy) autumn weather. Fukuoka Now went to check it out on its opening day (Oct. 9).
The Food Expo Kyushu is a huge event spread over four days; over 80 stalls have been set up, all offering a different delicacy. It's a little bit overwhelming at first, since there are just so many options (and so many enthusiastic salespeople calling to you), so we recommend taking an initial lap to scout out the lay of the land.
Once we'd taken a little time to explore, we settled on our first dish: the Motsunabe Korokke. We'd tried motsunabe, we'd tried korokke, but we'd never even heard of Motsunabe Korokke. This unusual snack was crunchy on the outside, but surprisingly gooey on the inside (¥250).
We also enjoyed the kakuniman from Kakuniya Kojima (Nagasaki-based): tender braised pork belly wrapped in a slightly sweet, fluffy bun (¥350). This is a seriously more-ish snack!
For dessert, we couldn't help but sample one of the purr-fect cat-shaped dorayaki. Tamaan, based in Yakuin, Fukuoka, is selling a particularly delicious chestnut dorayaki at this year's Food Expo Kyushu; it is made using Fukuokan flour and whipped cream from Kyushu (¥390). It was simply ears and whiskers above any other dorayaki we've tasted. Paw-sitively delicious. Un-fur-gettable. (We'll stop now…)
The Local Sake Bar Kyushu offers an almost intimidatingly wide array of locally made alcohols. We sampled the Fuwatoro Pineapple, a shot of sake mixed with pineapple juice and served in a stylish shot glass (¥300). It was sweet, delicious and refreshing after all the deliciously fatty meats we'd just consumed.
It's very pleasant to sit on one of the chairs provided on the park's grass, as the leaves on the trees are just beginning to turn red, making for a beautiful backdrop to your lunch or dinner (particularly with the elegant ACROS Building rising in the background). In case the view and tasty treats combined aren't enough to keep you satisfied, the organisers have also erected a small stage, where a variety of entertainers will be performing. When Fukuoka Now was there, a singer and pianist were performing some relaxed songs for the expo's patrons.
We came, we saw, we stuffed ourselves with tasty morsels. This is a great place to grab lunch or dinner this holiday weekend!

"You can make a good movie out of anything." -Bob "Moviebob" Chipman
With season two coming out, I thought it would be a good idea to remind you not to bother with watching this.
At first I was excited at the idea of a feature length something from Freddie and Brandon. The concept sounded awesome with a private high school for the instruction of playing video games. This idea is silly on its face and downright implausible, my problem with it is the way the series seems to go out of the way to make it more impossible. To wit, our story: Our Hero, Brian, is playing his Call of Duty: Modern Warfare clone of the day (Firefield) when he gets an extremely lucky break of one kill on a player (The Law) who happened to join his game and is supposedly the best. Okay, not a bad starting idea but this does not translate well to VGHS's world. If you have played any game of this sort in your day, a player capable of an X/0 K/D ratio in a full match is either without a life or cheating, but we are told The Law does this regularly. Brian through force of his sheer ineptitude gets the one-in-a-million chance to attend the titular VGHS (without explaining how this is paid for, mind you), meets a wacky sidekick (who happens to be the son of an overbearing father played by Freddie himself), the girl of his dreams (Jenny) and a host of bullies in a cliché and not at all convincing world.
By the way, there are eight writers in this series, which sounds like it contributed most of the problems (for reference, The Avengers had two).
Video Game High School (the school, not the series) is a high school where all the courses in math, sciences and soforth replaced with video game related ones, like First person shooting, Driving Games, etcetera with the sports teams replaced with specific video games. In addition, all students are ranked on an arbitrary (and poorly explained) system, where if you get too low in the list you get expelled. I suppose this replaces grades but how is it determined if it's too low is never properly explained either. Then again, who's funding this school anyway!?
The main story is how Brian copes and advances with his new high school life. At first it sounds like a dream but it quickly drains into "this does not make sense". Ignore the fantastical setting and replace the video games with varsity sports and you have Saved by the Bell as re-imagined by gamers. That was not hyperbolic either. I really think that if the writers had to leave video games out of the story it would still be terrible. Brian ends up doing terrible in all his matches making him quite a boring character to watch. I would have preferred something more like Takumi Fujiwara where there's a hidden kick ass somewhere inside him. Instead he gets clobbered, close to expelled, clobbered again, gets in a physical fist fight, actually gets expelled, takes over an arcade overnight and must have Jenny (still girlfriend of The Law) snap him out of it by playing the DDR Rip Off. Which seaways me nicely into the next piece. I have yet to meet a gamer completely embarrassed by the idea of playing DDR (or related). Sorry, they just don't exist. But it's on full display here where Brian wants to bond with Jenny over it, but is constantly embarrassed by the idea he plays it as opposed to being the tough guy playing Firefield. Don't buy it. In the end he sorta wins a match against the law and ends up getting the girl.
Let's talk about Firefield for a moment here. It's the shooter video game that is played by the main characters, using the players as their own avatars in the game. The only thing that does not make sense is how you're supposed to play it with a typical PC setup.
There's also a B story involving Ted which is funny since I cannot see Freddie having children. That's not a blatant insult, it's just a simple observation based on the writing of this series. Ted is under pressure from his father (Freddie, playing himself obviously) to become the best at Guitar-I mean-Rock-I mean-"", when he's conflicted and would rather play Drift, your generic realistic car racing game. That could have made for an interesting story on it's own there. Anyway, Ted meets a girl at a party (Ki, using a white actor but I can excuse this one) and his opening gambit to court the girl is "Wanna watch me play video games?" Any girl worth her salt would have thrown their drink in his face and told him to piss off, but she not only goes along with it, but acts coy about it. I had to rewind a bit to ask "Did this just happen?" and apparently not only did it happen, but I could not put my face into my hands fast enough. The girl seems to like creating games more than playing them which I can totally respect and if VGHS also instructed game design and programming I would totally believe it could exist as a college. Anyway, the chemistry between them seems to be of Ted's tear between his Dad's wish and his own with Ki providing the moral support and by moral support I mean coyly signing him up for the VGHS Drift team instead of "". He gets mad, they do not break up and I wonder what was the point of this all. Freddie does not even come around to support his son which, again, goes back to my thought of not seeing Freddie have kids.
If there is one thing that I have to give in the series favor is that the acting is fairly good. Josh Blaylock (Brian) puts in a good enough performance that you want to punch him in the face (ala Kamina from Gurren Lagann) and seems totally game for how absurd the whole concept is. Ellary Porterfield (Ki) has coy down to a friggin' science, Johanna Braddy (Jenny) is sincere despite the horrible dialog she has to spit while Jimmy Wong (Ted) acts like the socially awkward nerd expected of him. But obviously the scene stealer is Harley Morenstien as the Dean Ernie Calhoun. I mean, how do you translate Epic Meal Time himself (really) into the VGHS world? You let him be Epic Meal Time. He pulverizes with his commanding voice and towering presence (almost 2m tall), though what he's given to say makes very little sense.
Which brings me to the entire problem of the series. I am under the impression that all of the writers have never felt love before. Two girls are on the writing staff, but I question if they were paying any attention. The relationships just do not work and that is not a chemistry issue with the acting, it is a genuine misunderstanding of how a healthy relationship is supposed to work. There are so many secrets and betrayals that really all the leads should be at each other's throats. People genuinely do not act with real human emotions and if this is the future of human relationships (outside the context of this series) I fear our future.

Wild Horses of Sable Island Gallery
Roberto Dutesco
64 Grand Street, New York - +1-212-219-9622
Emilie Adams, Director - firstname.lastname@example.com
Roberto Dutesco has been revealing the beauty of nature and the human spirit through his photography for more than three decades. He first learned of Sable Island and its wild horses in 1994 and made his first trip to the island that same year. A perilous journey by small plane from Halifax and a beach landing brought him to this remarkable place. Over time, and with patience and respect for these living creatures who, in the absence of natural predators, exhibit no fear of humans, he learned the ways of the horses and fell in love with the island in the process.
As Dutesco discovered the island for himself over the course of several visits, he captured the beauty and isolation of the wild horses and their austere habitat through still photography and 16-mm film. His incredible journey is presented in a full-length documentary entitled Chasing Wild Horses, which has aired many times on the CBC (Canadian Broadcasting Corporation) and other media outlets in the U.S. and Europe.
In 2008, the Canadian government identified Sable Island as a protected national treasure under the Canada Shipping Act, Bill #227, as a result of Dutesco's efforts. He says, "This legislation underscores the point that, if natural locations like this are to endure, they must be left alone. I have spent the last eighteen years dedicated to that belief and will continue to work for their preservation for the future."
Horseware Ireland
Horseware started with a small team, in Dundalk, Ireland in 1985. After months of research and hand-stitching the prototype of the now iconic Rambo Original was born, setting the standard for modern blanket design. Since then we have grown to become the world's most trusted producer of horse blankets.
Founded by Tom and Carol MacGuinness, their determination to produce a blanket that didn't leak, didn't make the horse sweat and didn't slip led to the creation of the first fully waterproof and breathable turnout that really worked.
Today, our Rambo range is still made in the same town in Ireland under Tom's watchful eye and with the same attention to detail and high quality material that we prided ourselves on in 1985. We are constantly striving to produce the best we can and have grown into a leading manufacturer of clothing for horses and riders. We never stop evolving; we're always seeking out untrodden paths, pushing boundaries and finding new challenges.
We believe that because we create, we innovate. And through innovation we aim to make a difference to the lives of you and your horses.

Maryland Horse Industry Board
Ross Pedicord
MHIB Initiatives
The Maryland Horse Industry Board (MHIB) is one of only about a half dozen state equine commodities boards in the country.
The organization was founded in 1998 as an outgrowth of the State's Riding Stables Inspection Program that began in 1968.MHIB receives no government funding although it is housed in the Maryland Department of Agriculture (MDA) building in Annapolis and is a program within MDA. The organization is an example of a private/public partnership.
MHIB is totally funded from private equine industry sources. Monies are accrued from the annual licensing fees paid to MHIB by the state's approximately 600 licensed lesson, boarding, rental and rescue facilities and from the Feed Fund Assessment program. Every time a Marylander buys a bag of horse feed, 15 cents is voluntarily contributed by feed manufacturers to help fund MHIB projects and initiatives.

|Part of the Avatar: Tales of the World continuity.
Hiresh History
Hiresh is the leader of the Spirit Sages, a group that is not very well known; only high ranking people know of this organization and many don't know how to deal with it. Hiresh joined the sages at the age of 14, around the time Aang was discovered in the ice berg. He is currently helping the Sisters of the Sunflower find the Spirit Leader, a being that the Spirit Sages have helped protect for thousands of years.
Hiresh Spiritual Journey
When Aang was discovered in the ice berg, Hiresh began his life to spiritual enlightenment. He followed the Air Nomads' way of meditation and freedom and eventually made his way to becoming a Spirit Sage. During his life, he came across the works of old in the Valley of the Relics and began to look for the Spirit Leader. He eventually came across Avatar Aang and told him of the secrets of the Spirit leader and of the past. He promised to find the Spirit Leader before he died. During his many years, Hiresh has had the fortune of meeting and seeing spirits of old and received their blessings.
Hiresh in Republic City
Hiresh left the Valley of the Relics to help Avatar Korra in her training and search for the Spirit Leader. The Spirit Sages are now based in Republic City and many other places around the world.

When girls say they have curves, is that a fancy term of saying she has fat?
Most Helpful Girl
depends. you may actually think some girls look fat and other people may just describe them as curvy.
curvy to me is the shape of your body, part natural distribution of fat and part bone structure. a fat person has a natural body shape, even if theyre actually obese. you can be obese and curvy, however many people are just obese. you can't really make that call until they lose weight though and you actually see whether or not they have natural curves or not. I've seen some girls loose a lot of weight and they have no curves at all when they get to healthy weight - or very small curves.
curves means different things to different people. some people I think are curvy, others will see them as fat. fat isn't a legitimate term. everyone has fat on their bodies. fat is just a word that people use when someone is too big for their taste of whatever "normal" or attractive is, and that isn't always necessarily a medical issue. not all people who you think are fat are unhealthy or actually excessively overweight or obese. they usually arent. all the people who are, are obviously "fat."
generally its some degree of lower body curves of the butt and hip-waist ratio. some have smaller limits than others. some people think kim kardashian isn't just curvy but fat, even though she is no where near medically overweight or obese. some people consider very skinny women with narrow shapes to still have curves, while others won't see them as curvy.
its pointless to dwell on this. it is a relatively basic concept - wider hips, rounder butts, bigger boobs - but some people have limits to where they think curvy ends and fat begins. others don't think there is a line, like me - body shape and being obese or overweight are two different things.
who gives a f*** though, in reality? you like what you like and that's the end of it.00|02|0
ew, typos. :/
also I think culture plays a huge role in what people perceive to be curvy or fat, attractive or unattractive.

human growth and development
Not familiar with that one either, but by process of elimination, I would say D also.
You're asking a very hard question. A lot of this will depend on the motivation itself of the students. Without knowing the students previously, the best you can do is plan for a lot of scenarios and hope one of them fits and works. Also, 25 students is a lot to work with ...
It sounds like a yes, because the RAM is the area where the information is stored.
DrBob actually is not smart in the normal sense. He got superhuman powers when a meteor crashed to earth some 35 years ago. Not knowing what it was, he ate it and his brain grew to 10x its capacity. Now that he IS smart, he recommends not eating random things that fall from ...
ACK! I disagree with Brit. #5 is wrong. It should read: I study a lot of subjects such as mechanics, ethics, and social studies. The other 4 look fine to me.
I've not seen people use PM with the 24 hour clocks. Is that correct? I honestly do not know.
Neither one really sounds right. When you use the simple present tense, you are usually speaking about what you do regularly (such as weekly, daily, monthly, etc.), generally (as in "I usually play the drums") or always ("I always play the drums."). I would...
computer science
I'll ask it again. What's your question?
computer c++
What's your question?
computer science
I would start by looking at chapter 3 and going from there.
classroom instruction
Then again, you CAN look at Montessori, where you don't have to capture their attention to what you're teaching as much as guide the students into learning what they're interested in. Ah...I love Montessori classrooms. :)
Not sure about most, but I would answer at least one way to find out the time of a program....
classroom instruction
In all honesty, I stopped reading after the words "I guess." That phrase makes it sound like you didn't really look into it. I honestly did not read past that point, but if I am reading someone's ideas of how to best do something and I saw the words, "I ...
History of Religion
The question of literal interpretation is sort of a hard question to answer. As long as writings and literary styles have been available, groups of people have always taken many of them literally. (Not to say it was intended to be that way). So, in a sense, ever since the ...
Yes. Marsha should also be capitalized. Be sure to worry about subject-verb agreement as well.
bus! (From the bus stop to business class)
I actually clicked on this hoping to help with a mechanic question. Be careful about your subject names. You may have lost a few good responses on here.
Edit plz!
"can u edit this small paragraph plz? thnx!" You made a LOT of mistakes in your question alone and the subject of the message. Be more careful. "Have you ever thought of your goals and skills that you would like to improve." Isn't this a question? "...
Question about the board
I am looking at many questions that just have 2 or 3 words to them and responses that talk about fixing certain paragraphs. Am I missing something or is the board messing up?
OK. Looks like you have an assignment to do, but I don't understand what your question is about the assignment.
English-Ms. Sue
Please post information if you ever write a book. I'll buy it.
child development
One hard part to this might be that there are many ideas of stages of development: --Montessori --Piaget --Kohlberg --Erikson I would also look to see whether your teacher wants a specific theorist.
You got it.
That's really the square root of 9. Look at the word "square root." What do you see? There are two words: square - which is a shape I am sure you are familiar with. root - which has many meanings. In this case, it is talking about one side of the square. So cut ...
SMART Goals
Even with Ms. Sue's point, you still have to look at how this fits into how to look at and measure SMART goals. Here's a good web site to introduce the idea: http://www.goal-setting-guide.com/smart-goals.html If you have any questions while reading that, post them on ...
After teaching ESL for a few years, I managed to find a way to teach kids to write sentences. Most people simply don't think about this. Start with the verb. Most people start with the subject when they try to write a sentence then get stuck, but start with the verb. Once ...
But still, is it not fair to say that those cultures still had a strong religious influence? Religions are very deeply intertwined into cultures.
Marriage has to do a lot with religion, Bob. Religion is a big part of cultural customs and traditions.
Cultral Diversity
"2. Where did Chinese Americans originate from? " I'm guessing from England. (Note the sarcasm).
Creative Writing
"An only child has all the attention of his/her parents." ALL the attention? I assume most parents are still busy with other things. At the same time, how is that an advantage? "He/she is provided with better things" How so? "Since he/she is the future...
Child care
I would also say bored, but think they have more of a chance of controlling themselves when bored. They have almost no chance when they're tired. I don't like this question, personally.
Child care
Just a hint, but can you explain how finger paint lasts forever? I'd love to know to help cut down on costs.
Child care
"equipment and supplies" is too vague to answer here. What equipment and what supplies? It is also very vague because it does not describe the type of child care center this is. For example, a regular child care center will cost much more to run, after the initial ...
MOST forms, you add "s." With words ending in s, z, ch, sh, and x, you add "es." If the word ends in a "y," you drop the y and add ies. (family ---> families) If the word ends in an "o," you sometimes add "es" and sometimes ...
child development (answer included)
It's hard to write a paper in that limited amount of words, but this is good. The part I would change a little is with the early adolescence. "During this time, the child is making choices." That's characteristic of ALL ages. A word or two that is more ...
early childhood
I'm familiar with them and this is hard to answer. I say it's a tie between Maria Montessori and Piaget, though not sure it's fair to say that Maria Montessori developed the emergent curriculum (which means that it's more child-centered). I'd say letter &...
childhood Education

I can't speak for Ms Sue, but I know there are some people that are good with accounting on here. I, usually, am not. :) Ask away and be sure to put accounting in the subject.

I think #3 was yes and #4 was no. Or #3 was car and #4 was monkey. Either way, I guess I'm ok. (I'm dropping a hint that unless you repost the questions or a link to the questions, there's no way we can help). :)
If you think about it, that won't work logically. Your 2nd pot is wider than your first pot, so it will have to be more shallow to fill the same amount of water. V= pi x r^2 x h So the first thing we have to do is figure out the volume of the first cylinder. Pi = 3.14 The ...
Yes. They are saying : height + base 1 + base 2 + base 3 + base 4 has to be equal to or less than 110 inches. You're right because there are 4 lines in the perimeter of the base. If you draw a square or rectangle, it has four lines. 2 of those lines are 15 inches. 15x2 = ...
Good answer. Might throw them for a loop and say a return address sticker.

Ok so I've been dating this guy for about a year. He's not the smartest guy ever (but not stupid), and he's not all that social. But he is really sweet, and attractive in my opinion. But the thing is everyone seems to hate him. He hangs out with a total of about 3 people (not including me), and everyone else acts like they want nothing to do with him. People constantly call him stupid, retarded, dumbass, disgusting, ugly, and awkward. I don't think he's any of these.) And ever since we started dating a lot of the hate has been put on me. Now people call me stupid, and constantly tell me that im gross and "retarded" for dating him. There is nothing wrong with him, (and I'm not just saying that), and I'm pretty sure everyone (including my friends) think that I'm a freak for being with him. But I actually do love him and I don't want to break up with him, but I also don't want everyone to think I'm a freak either. So I'm not really sure what to do? by the way we're juniors n highschool, so kinda why this seems like such a big deal.
Most Helpful Guy
he maybe a douche or has a really bad reputaion00|00|0
Nope, I've known him all my life and he's always just been the quiet guy. Also, this is pretty much his first real relationship
Don't worry about those other people. It's only what you and him thinks that really matters.
They are just mostly jealous

Top Critics' Reviews
Rotten: Not so much a movie as a collection of career moves.
Rotten: Problem is, there really isn't any dialogue here that suggests that Marisa is truly sassy, or charming, or candid, or that the would-be senator is either brilliant or senatorial, or that her accent-less son is not simply on loan from Hogwarts.
Rotten: The movie would almost qualify as pleasant, were it not for a certain condescension in its treatment of working-class life and its offhand assumption that lives not buoyed by riches or aggrandized by fame are hardly worth living.
Fresh: A lovably old-school Hollywood confection.
Customer Reviews
This is my all time favorite movie of Jennifer Lopez's! She is stunning in this film, love the fairytale Cinderella story! MUST HAVE Y'ALL! 💙💜💚❤
Oh and the soundtrack is AWESOME!
This movie is really cute and fun. It is developed well and definitely worth buying or renting. The actors make the characters very genuine and presentable, while still feeling real.
Cute but the plot is very deceitful
The story was okay but I didn't like the plot at all
The plot is that a maid was playing around and wearing a guests clothes at the hotel
One thing led out of control and she ended up meeting a guy
She was goaded by her co workers to keep up the farce and eventually the truth comes out
First, the whole underlying deceit in the story:
She lied to the guy
She abused her position as a maid
When the guy breaks up with her I don't blame him
I would be hurt that someone lied to me
Relationships should be built on trust - not lies...even little innocent ones

Twitch.tv has quietly captured the gaming subculture and has been a key impetus in the recent explosion in popularity of competitive online video games. In October 32 million viewers tuned into Twitch and other live streaming platforms to watch the League of Legends season 3 world championships broadcast live from a sold out Staples Center in Los Angeles. Here's what you need to know about Twitch.tv and why we may look back at Google's (NASDAQ:GOOG) (NASDAQ:GOOGL) unconfirmed $1 billion acquisition of the live streaming platform as a steal in the not too distant future.
(Click here for chart details)
Streaming video content is a battleground right now for the likes of Netflix (NASDAQ:NFLX), Hulu Plus, Amazon Prime Instant Video and HBO Go. Twitch will likely never cater to as broad of an audience as a streaming TV or film platform like Netflix, but Twitch completely dominates the gamer audience in the United States and Europe specifically. Twitch formerly competed with a company called Own3d.tv in Western markets, but video game live streaming has largely become a one-horse race since Own3d declared bankruptcy back in January 2013. Twitch has now accumulated 45 million unique monthly viewers.
Twitch now touts 45 million viewers and 1 million broadcasters. You can think of Twitch as a content network with 1 million channels, but the majority of engagement comes from the top several hundred streamers who have become e-celebrities. One of the important differences to highlight between Twitch and other content platforms is that Twitch streams live content and interaction between broadcasters and viewers is highly encouraged.
One of the most successful subcategories of online streamers on Twitch are the "pro gamers." Many of the top tournament players on League of Legends, Dota 2 and Starcraft 2 routinely hit 20,000 live concurrent viewers. These players are widely followed by their fans and often live stream their training sessions providing insight and coaching or colorful and humorous commentary. Think about how popular it would be if we could watch our favorite athletes provide master classes in real time and field the best questions from the crowd. That is essentially what Twitch is offering gamers.
One of the two ways Twitch makes money is by streamers selling premium subscriptions to their channel where revenue is split between the streamer and Twitch. Engagement, particularly with paying subscribers, is one of the ways that Twitch separates itself from the pack of online content platforms. The e-celebrities on Twitch commonly provide giveaways, exclusive content and additional chat features and privileges to entice viewers to subscribe. Subscription sales are a nice piece of the Twitch puzzle, but what makes Twitch even more attractive to Google is how well Twitch can benefit from Google's core competencies and how well Twitch falls in-line with the branding strategy of new YouTube executive Susan Wojcicki.
Google owns YouTube, one of the biggest sources of traffic on the web. Susan Wojcicki was appointed to the head of YouTube to figure out a better way to monetize YouTube's traffic. Twitch has discovered a robust way of making money through content which YouTube has been trying to emulate lately. There are two reasons why the Twitch formula is potentially extremely profitable and why Google is trying to learn from them and maybe acquire them as well.
The first reason why Twitch is a compelling acquisition target in the content space is because it avoids all costs associated with generating content. Traditional video content like TV shows and movies often cost millions of dollars to produce. Having a gamer live stream him or herself playing is virtually free. Sure there are costs associated with hosting the website and net neutrality may be a risk down the road due to Twitch's huge use of bandwidth. I'm sure the team at Twitch would feel a whole lot more comfortable fighting a net neutrality battle against the broadband companies if they had the firepower of Google at their backs. According to Sandvine in March 2014 Twitch accounted for 1.35% of all traffic on the web. But the real point here is that Twitch, like YouTube, can get its content for free and that's a huge advantage compared to traditional content models.
The other factor that YouTube has been trying to mimic lately is how players on Twitch have immense individual brand power. Twitch.tv is just as much about telling the narrative of the individuals as it is about watching them play video games. On Twitch can you watch a high school student go from playing 2-3 hours per day after he finishes his homework to competing on the Staples Center stage for a million bucks, and experience all the highs and lows along the way. Some of these players have real star power among their audience.
The top earning streamers can reportedly make several hundred thousand dollars per year and the popularity of online streaming has gotten so high that clothing and computer peripheral companies are starting to endorse the streamers. Gamers are getting paid like golfers to wear a certain brand's baseball cap while they live stream video games from their basement. It's not surprising that YouTube's latest ad campaign in cities across the US focuses on the stories behind YouTubers' individual channels. Telling the stories of individuals through their content on the web has proven to be a potent new source of audience capture and engagement.
With Google, things almost always end up pointing back to data and targeted advertisements. Twitch is no exception to the rule. Google could help Twitch make more money by serving ads based on the individual data that Google already captures. Whether Google ends up acquiring Twitch or simply tries to emulate the company with its latest YouTube marketing strategy, Twitch seems to have unlocked an exciting and potentially majorly profitable new content strategy. Get free content, cultivate and highlight stars, encourage real time engagement between viewers and broadcasters, and watch the money roll in.
Disclosure: None.

News Article | September 6, 2016

For chickens bred to lay eggs, being male is a gloomy prospect. These cockerels develop too slowly to be raised for meat, so they are usually killed within days of hatching by methods including gassing and grinding. The practice culls billions of chicks each year, raising ethical concerns for consumers and animal rights advocates. As a result, both United Egg Producers, the U.S. industry group that represents most hatcheries for egg-laying hens, and the German government have pledged to end the practice in coming years, or once an alternative is available. Now researchers have developed an approach that could help speed this transition: using spectroscopy to identify the sex of a developing chicken embryo while it's still in the egg (Anal. Chem. 2016, DOI: 10.1021/acs.analchem.6b01868). The method, which has up to 95% accuracy, could allow hatcheries to cull male chick embryos just three days into development, before they are sensitive to pain. Currently, the sex of chicks can be determined before they hatch by sampling hormone levels or DNA from within the egg after removing a piece of shell. But hormonal tests must be done on about day nine of development, and chicks become sensitive to pain at about day seven, says Roberta Galli of Dresden University of Technology. Moreover, these testing methods require taking a sample from each egg, followed by chemical analysis, which may not be feasible on an industrial scale. Galli and her colleagues wanted to develop a less invasive method that could be applied earlier in development. The team has used Raman spectroscopy for other sensitive biomedical applications, so they thought the approach might be able to determine sex, which imparts differences to blood biochemistry. Male blood has different protein and sugar profiles and about 2% more DNA than female blood. The method the team developed uses a laser to cut a 15-mm-diameter circle in the end of an eggshell. When the researchers remove the shell piece on day three of development, the embryo's blood vessels are visible. They shine near-infrared light on the vessels and detect the scattering with a Raman spectrometer; the spectrum is rapidly assigned to a sex based on algorithms the team developed. For 101 eggs whose sex was also determined by DNA test, the algorithm correctly identified embryo sex in 90% of cases. However, Galli says they have since optimized the system, nudging the accuracy to 95%—closer to the 98% accuracy of manual sex determination used in industry based on examining the feathers or genitals. After the analysis, the researchers close up the egg with surgical adhesive tape and allow development to continue. About 81% of the eggs they tracked after the test hatched and developed normally, compared to 92% of control eggs, though other control studies report hatching rates of 84–90%. The team's lab system can process two to three eggs per minute—much slower than expert chick sexers, who can work at five to eight times that rate. But the team is building an industrial prototype to automate the process and has partnered to test it with Lohmann Tierzucht, a major commercial producer of egg-laying hens in Germany, where demand for an alternative to chick culling is high. Right now the team does not have a cost estimate for the prototype, Galli says, but the fact that the method requires minimal consumable products may keep expenses down. Rodrigo Gallardo, an expert in poultry biology at the University of California, Davis, calls the technique "very promising" because it can be applied so early in development and is less invasive than other methods. However, he says, it "needs further development and refinement to be used in the poultry industry," including lowering the processing time, improving the accuracy, and ensuring that the method does not harm or contaminate developing chicks.

The size and orientation of calcium carbonate crystals influence the structure and strength of the eggshells of chickens. In this study, estimates of heritability were found to be high (0.6) for crystal size and moderate (0.3) for crystal orientation. There was a strong positive correlation (0.65) for crystal size and orientation with the thickness of the shell and, in particular, with the thickness of the mammillary layer. Correlations with shell breaking strength were positive but with a high standard error. This was contrary to expectations, as in man-made materials smaller crystals would be stronger. We believe the results of this study support the hypothesis that the structural organization of shell, and in particular the mammillary layer, is influenced by crystal size and orientation, especially during the initial phase of calcification. Genetic associations for crystal measurements were observed between haplotype blocks or individual markers for a number of eggshell matrix proteins. Ovalbumin and ovotransferrin (LTF) markers for example were associated with crystal size, while ovocleidin-116 and ovocalyxin-32 (RARRES1) markers were associated with crystal orientation. The location of these proteins in the eggshell is consistent with different phases of the shell-formation process. In conclusion, the variability of crystal size, and to a lesser extent orientation, appears to have a large genetic component, and the formation of calcite crystals are intimately related to the ultrastructure of the eggshell. Moreover, this study also provides evidence that proteins in the shell influence the variability of crystal traits and, in turn, the shell's thickness profile. The crystal measurements and/or the associated genetic markers may therefore prove to be useful in selection programs to improve eggshell quality. © 2011 Stichting International Foundation for Animal Genetics.
Utilization of laying-type cockerels as "coquelets": Influence of genotype and diet characteristics on growth performance and carcass composition [Nutzung männlicher legehybriden als stubenküken: Der einfluss der herkunft und der futtervarianten auf wachstumsleistung und schlachtkörperzusammensetzung]

The aim of the study was to find an alternative to the present culling of one-day old male layer chicks in the contextof laying hen reproduction. The development of a new ethi-cally justifiable production system for the rearing of laying-type cockerels to produce coquelets could be a solution of this ethical problem. To this end, a project was initiated to determine economic efficiency and suitable managementfactors of coquelet production. After appropriate genotypesfor laying-type cockerels had been determined in a preceding trial, we analyzed fattening performance and carcassquality in order to evaluate the potential to optimize coque-let production. The experiment was performed with the medium-heavygenotype Lohmann Brown (LB) and the light genotypeLohmann Selected Leghorn (LSL). The cockerels were rearedon deep litter and were fed on standard diets for broilers (BD) or laying-hens (LHD). After a rearing period of 49 days, fattening performance and carcass quality were analyzed with genotype and feeding regime and their interactions as main effects. The development of body weight is more influenced by feeding regime than by genotype. Further results of growth performance, feed conversion and carcass quality showed the influence of the two different feeding regimes. Standard BD appeared to be more appropriate for cockerel feeding because it improved the fattening performance compared to LHD. However, carcass composition was not affected by the different feeding regimes. But with regard to tissue composition and percentage ofvaluable parts, cockerel genotypes differed. In most aspectsof carcass quality, the medium-heavy LB performed better than the light LSL. The results of this study outline the economic feasibility of coquelet-production. The project thus contributes to link the production of a high-quality niche product with the solution of an ethical problem in animal production. © Verlag Eugen Ulmer, Stuttgart.

The cuticle is a proteinaceous layer covering the avian egg and is believed to form a defence to microorganism ingress. In birds that lay eggs in challenging environments, the cuticle is thicker, suggesting evolutionary pressure; however, in poultry, selection pressure for this trait has been removed because of artificial incubation. This study aimed to quantify cuticle deposition and to estimate its genetic parameters and its role on trans-shell penetration of bacteria. Additionally, cuticle proteins were characterised to establish whether alleles for these genes explained variation in deposition. A novel and reliable quantification was achieved using the difference in reflectance of the egg at 650 nm before and after staining with a specific dye. The heritability of this novel measurement was moderate (0.27), and bacteria penetration was dependent on the natural variation in cuticle deposition. Eggs with the best cuticle were never penetrated by bacteria (P < 0.001). The cuticle proteome consisted of six major proteins. A significant association was found between alleles of one of these protein genes, ovocleidin-116 (MEPE), and cuticle deposition (P = 0.015) and also between alleles of estrogen receptor 1 (ESR1) gene and cuticle deposition (P = 0.008). With the heritability observed, genetic selection should be possible to increase cuticle deposition in commercial poultry, so reducing trans-generational transmission of microorganisms and reversing the lack of selection pressure for this trait during recent domestication. © 2013 The Authors, Animal Genetics © 2013 Stichting International Foundation for Animal Genetics.

I saw a commercial that said, "Black history is everyone's history."
Very true. Yet it's 2014 and Blacks are still fighting for equality and against racism. I'm still grieving for Trayvon and rejoicing for Obama. As my emotions run from one end of the spectrum to the next, I'm reminded of a verse from the Holy Bible:
"Love your neighbor as yourself." – Mark 12:31
It goes on to say that this is one of the most important commands. Yet, I wonder how can this diverse race get along in heaven if we can't master loving each other here on earth.
There is a man who entered my workplace one day. He was communicating poorly with the secretary and all of a sudden he flipped out on her. The man started spouting racial slurs and was even more rude, shouting obscenities. He eventually stormed out of the office.
The man was a black man and the secretary was white. This occurrence reminded me of how racism isn't just a "White thing," it's everyone. It's everyone's responsibility to love your neighbor as yourself. Or like the Golden Rule says: do unto others as you would have them do unto you!
"Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that." – Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
During this Black History Month lets remember that Black history is all of our history. African Americans' contribution to the United States and moreover the whole world, has benefited us all. It's important to uphold "OUR" history with love and peace!
Keep pressing and celebrate Black History!
