Starring Billy Drago, Youki Kudoh, Michie Itô, Toshie Negishi
Directed by Takashi Miike
Distributed by Anchor Bay Entertainment
Why is it always the forbidden fruit that we want to taste the most? Season One of Masters of Horror provided fans with some great short films from their favorite genre directors. They ranged from good to I-have-to-watch-that-again-immediately great. Yet, despite all of that goodness, there's one episode that fans have wanted to see more than any of the others. One that was deemed too over-the-top for American television. That episode is Takashi Miike's "Imprint." I know what you're wondering: Does it live up to the hype? Does it really go too far? Before we get into all of that, let's start with the basic story.
Billy Drago plays Christopher, an American journalist searching the Far East for his long lost love. Well, maybe not long lost. Truth be told, Christopher's love is an Asian whore named Komomo, who stole his heart along with some cash for a few lays. Christopher shared only a limited amount of time with Komomo, but before he headed back to the States, he promised her that he'd come back for her and the next time he left she'd be coming along with him.
The moments they spent with each other must have been magical because Christopher decided to make good on his promise. There's only one problem — Komomo is now missing. Haggard from his search, our lovelorn hero ends up spending some time in the Asian equivalent of a brothel. This place is far from being the best little whorehouse in Japan; yet, something about it sets off a spark within him. Intuition can be a powerful device, and once Christopher comes face to disfigured face with another lady of the night, he picks up Komomo's trail. However, he may not like the path to truth he has now been placed on. There's an old saying, be careful what you wish for, and nowhere does that phrase hold more sentiment than in the nightmarish world of "Imprint."
That's all I'm telling you about the story. It's not that I am afraid of spoiling it for you, but "Imprint" is something that needs to be seen before it can be accurately discussed. Until you guys have sat through this full hour of total madness, you cannot fully appreciate the story's events. Words simply cannot do them justice. It's best to let this piece of ghastly beauty and horror unfold for you. There are parts of "Imprint" in which you will find yourself wanting to look away. I don't think you'll be able to. It's human nature to want to look deeper into the abyss of depravity, and at its heart, that's what this tale is all about. That's where the true horror lies, not through monsters or specters, but within ourselves.
Okay, you've waited long enough for the answer. Yes, "Imprint" is without question one of the most sadistically beautiful creations to grace the small screen in a very long time. I can imagine the looks on the faces of the Showtime executives while viewing the last half hour of this episode. They must have been simply aghast. However, I don't think that the film's torture sequence (while truly painful to watch and as extreme as it gets) was the culprit that kept us from seeing this episode. Instead, most of the blame falls squarely on the shoulders of a few liberally aborted and tossed around fetuses. Fetus mangling is a shock tactic that is just about as high upon the list of J-Horror plot devices as young female ghosts with long flowing black hair. That, coupled with the fact that just about every hot-button-issue is touched upon during the film's short runtime. Abortion. Spousal abuse. Incest. Child molestation. It's all there on display. The question is how far can something be pushed until it is deemed inappropriate? Miike apparently pushed it just far enough for them to pass. Kudos to Mick Garris and the gang who opted not to compromise and cut "Imprint" in order to get it on TV.
If I had to describe "Imprint" in one word, the answer is a no-brainer: disturbing. You will watch it and, like it or not, will not forget it. If I had to choose another word, unfortunately, it would be. . .uneven. Every beast needs a beauty. What works against "Imprint" is there is no balance between the plight of the characters. Every one of them explores the darkest corners of humanity without exhibiting the slightest bit of goodness. In short, there's nothing for the evil to play off of, so after a while we become less horrified and more numb to it.
The Masters of Horror DVD's all share one common thread: They are stacked to the rafters with supplemental goodies. Up until now, each DVD has shared the same types of extras — namely, the Working with a Master featurettes along with on-set interviews and behind-the-scenes footage. "Imprint" once again goes against the grain and delivers a bit of a different, albeit just as robust, package. Gone are the multiple shorts, and in their place we get two near one-hour long looks at the film and Miike in particular and one near half-hour look at the special effects that helped to make "Imprint" so damned controversial.
The first featurette, Imprinting, takes the viewer on a journey and shows them what it took to bring "Imprint" to the screen. Everyone is here in full force, from the original writer of the story (who also has a cameo as one of the film's whores) to Miike and the film's stars. The art of Japanese filmmaking is vastly different in comparison to what goes on here in America. Bringing East and West ideals together on a single project was a pretty big undertaking, and lucky for us, it was a pretty damned interesting one, too.
From there we are treated to a featurette with the absolute longest name in DVD featurette history, I Am the Film Director of Love and Freedom: Takashi Miike. While the other Masters of Horror DVD's usually spent the majority of their supplemental time talking to actors about what it was like to work with so-and-so, this one gives us a chance to sit down with Miike himself and listen as he shares his views, influences, and background in the film business. Considering most American horror fans (especially those of the mainstream, casual variety) are unacquainted with Miike, this in-depth look at the history of one of Japan's now most noted and notorious filmmakers should make for the perfect introduction. Hopefully after watching this, they'll tune in to some other Miike classics like Ichi The Killer and, of course, Audition.
Things then get rounded up with the Imperfect Beauty featurette, which explores the joys of working with both rubber animatronic fetuses and the Hamburger Helper's nasty Asian cousin (you'll see).
I'd also like to make special mention of this episode's commentary track. Helmed by author, musician, and American Cinematheque programmer Chris D., along with Wyatt Doyle of Newtexture.com, this track covers everything about "Imprint" that's worth its salt, especially its shortcomings. The pair help illustrate exactly what went right and wrong with this feature including my only other gripe and the main thing that keeps "Imprint" from achieving a perfect score: the acting. While not bad by any stretch of the imagination, the language barrier that existed between the English-speaking portion of the cast and the direction of Miike becomes painfully apparent. I mean, c'mon, you cannot get or give the performances the way that you would like if nobody can understand each other. As a result "Imprint" is regrettably riddled with awkward vocal cues and some straight-out ludicrous over-acting. An all-Japanese cast that Miike could have more accurately directed would have made this episode a lot closer to perfect than it already is.
Despite its minor shortcomings, "Imprint" was more than worth the wait. It's every bit as visceral as even the most jaded of horror fans could have hoped for. If you had any doubt in your mind whether or not Miike should be included in the same company as John Carpenter or Dario Argento, then prepare to have those fears laid to rest once and for all.

People Powered Change: Learn How to Campaign in a Day
SMK runs a series of half-day and one-day introductory level campaign workshops throughout the UK to equip people with the skills to bring about change at a local or national level. The programme is supported by the Tudor Trust.
What will you learn?
After the workshop, participants will have improved their skills and knowledge to be more effective campaigners. In particular, they will gain:
- Insight into the successful features of a campaign.
- Knowledge about the key steps in planning a campaign.
- Insights into how to influence political processes and decision-makers, as well as how to use the media to gain support for your campaign (this only applies to full day workshops).
- A chance to meet other campaigners, developing their professional network and receiving peer support.
Who should attend?
These workshops are geared towards beginner campaigners. The workshop provides the opportunity to find out how to develop a campaign strategy and identify the key skills needed to run an effective campaign. They are suitable for those interested in influencing the policy decisions that affect their community or the people their organisation supports. Participants will already be involved at a basic level of campaigning or are just about to get started – whether you are challenging local authority social care changes or protesting against a local incinerator – if you want practical information about the next steps, then our campaign workshop is for you.
SMK's 'People Powered Change: Learn to Campaign in a Day' workshop programme is part-funded by the Tudor Trust. While we want to ensure that we can continue to provide sustainable support to grassroots campaigners for free, we ask those individuals and organisations who can afford it to pay a fee (although this is still heavily subsidised). The fees are as follows: The following fees apply to staff AND volunteers:
- Large organisations (charities with a turnover of more than £5m; Local Authorities and private sector): £120 for half-day workshops / £200 for full day workshops
- Medium organisations (turnover between £500k – £5m): £80 for half-day workshops / £160 for full day workshops
- Small organisations (turnover between £100k – £500k): £40 for half-day workshops / £100 for full day workshops
- Very small organisations (turnover less than £100k): £20 for half-day workshops / £50 for full day workshops
- Individuals (this ticket type is for individuals who are NOT affiliated to an organisation or campaign group): £10 for half-day workshops / £20 for full day workshops
- Individuals (unwaged/students/low income) and grassroots groups with NO funds: FREE (please note, we cannot cover travel or other costs you may incur in attending)
A buffet lunch and refreshments are provided as part of the fee for full day events. For half day events we provide tea and coffee and light refreshments only. If you have access needs or dietary requirements please let Megan know when you register.
Want in-house training?
If you would like information about how these workshops can be adapted for your organisation and delivered in-house, please email John Knights.

(Adds Lockheed Martin statement)
TAIPEI, Oct 31 (Reuters) - A consortium of Taiwan's largest private shipbuilder Ching Fu Shipbuilding Co Ltd, U.S. defence firm Lockheed Martin Corp and Italian firm Intermarine SpA have won a contract to supply six mine countermeasure vessels for Taiwan's navy for an undisclosed amount.
The contract is part of a procurement process by the Ministry of National Defense, said an official at Ching Fu Shipbuilding, who declined to be named as he was not authorised to speak to the media.
An official at Taiwan's navy also declined to disclose details of the deal.
In a statement, Lockheed Martin said the first of the ships will be built in Italy, with the other five built in Taiwan.
The U.S. defence firm said it will install and test the combat management system for the ships.
Intermarine declined to comment.
Mine countermeasure vessels, including mine hunters and mine sweepers, are naval vessels used to clear mines at sea.
Local media have reported that the defence ministry's total procurement budget for mine countermeasure vessels is T$35.2 billion Taiwan dollars ($1.2 billion).
The United States is Taiwan's largest defence supplier and a major political ally, despite a lack of formal diplomatic ties. China regards Taiwan as a renegade province and resolutely opposes weapons sales to the island.
Asked about the deal, China's defence ministry reiterated its objection to weapon sales to Taiwan. "We resolutely oppose any weapons sales to Taiwan," the ministry said in a statement faxed to Reuters. (1 US dollar = 30.3200 Taiwan dollar) (Additional reporting by Ben Blanchard in BEIJING; Editing by Miral Fahmy)

Over the next week the label Communion were taking over The Flowerpot in Kentish Town. The series of events put on were artists collaborating with each other. I mainly attended the first of 7 gigs which featured Lissie. She is an extreme talent and her Country/ Indie music that is played is absolutely wonderful. Debut album Catching A Tiger entered the charts at #22. Other artists on the night were James Moss, The Staves and headlining was Mt Desolation. Now I knew nothing about these other acts. Later on I found out Mt Desolation is a Keane side project. Originally I thought the night was 4 sets but it wasn't. James Moss only collaborated with The Staves. I quite enjoyed the set by The Staves. They performed a host of songs which included Mexico and Facing West from the debut EP Facing West. Opening the set by Lissie was Lil' Lovin which is very up beat. I like the passion that is put into the songs and the vocals were superb. The banter before the beautiful Everywhere I Go was hilarious. "We spilt water over something electrical, exits are clearly marked". The reason this song is amazing because A) it's beautiful and B) it sounds slightly emotional. It was played at a steady pace and the chorus is ever so powerful. When I'm Alone is belted out at ease and again there is emotion injected into the song. It has to be one of my favourites. After a while tuning up it was then onto Bully. Again this is beautiful and I like the fact it tells a story. Like Lil' Lovin which features the title of the debut EP this song features the name of the album Catching A Tiger. The guitar solo towards the end is incredible. A storming performance of debut single In Sleep followed on.
Once over the drum kit was removed from the stage then some of Mt Desolation and The Staves joined for Wedding Bells. The stage was literally packed and this sounded incredible. Basically the others joined in with the chorus it was simply brilliant, special at the same time. Rounding off the set was Oh Mississippi which is ever so powerful. This song is beautiful and some of Mt Desolation were on stage with her. The way it sounded was like a national anthem. Straight after was a collaboration between Mt Desolation and Lissie. This song being Divided Line a song that had been under rehearsed. Lissie had to have the lyrics stuck to the microphone stand. Maurus's harmonising was amazing and her own solo bit was at the end of the song.
Lil' Lovin
Everywhere I Go
When I'm Alone
In Sleep
Wedding Bells
Oh Mississippi
OVERALL: After Lissie had finished her last song I made my way to the back. I then had a chat with her and got my vinyl signed. Lissie is ever so nice and it was infact a fantastic evening. She even said Hi to me when she took to the stage.

Absolutely beautiful
By Zedgirl
from Hamilton
I've been buying Diamonelle products for years. I bought this as the Showstopper and glad I did. It is stunning. The sparkle delivered is amazing. Definitely worth buying. Thank you Diamonelle, another job well done and thank you TSC.
i would buy this product again

excellent buy very good quality
By KC
from White Rock BC
I purchased both sets and love them ! I can wear the smaller bands on other fingers alone or with the set.The only thing I would have liked is if the 5 stone ring sat a bit higher, but that's just a personal preference.
By Peggy
from French Creek, BC
The light refraction in this ring is outstanding. I would be hard pressed to think it was anything else but real diamonds. Have had so many compliments, and have noticed plenty of those quick looks. Love Love
Just Beautiful!

I bought the gold and couldn't be happier!
Sparkle, Sparkle, Sparkle

I love my new Diamonelle ring. The size of the stones are perfect and the sparkle - wow! Very impressed with this ring.
Love, Love, Love this set!
By 2doggirl
from Edmonton
I totally disagree with the previous review. I bought a set in both the rhodium plate and the gold plate and couldn't be happier. When you take them out of the packaging (which is beautiful by the way), they look just okay. Once you put them on your finger - WOW - absolutely stunning, take your breath away stunning! When I ordered I was planning on sending one set back, however, I have decided to keep them both. LOVE THEM!
Sparkly Rings
By Jewellery Gal
from TO, Ont,
Love the brilliant shine. It has more sparkle than my real diamonds and I will certainly enjoy wearing all 3 rings. My first purchase from Toscana and I will definitely be looking for more from this line!
Diamonelle never disappoints!
By Louise
from Little Current, Ontario
I have a number of Diamonelle pieces. This one is particularly pretty - the sparkle and clarity are amazing. I love Diamonelle and wear it on vacation (I don't like to travel with my real diamonds). I receive compliments everywhere I go. Thanks Diamonelle.

SHANGHAI, Jan 21 (Reuters) - China stocks opened lower on Thursday, as the rout in global markets accelerates amid global economic growth and commodity price fears.
But the Hong Kong market bounced off Wednesday's 3-1/2 year low, as the city's currency strengthened against the dollar on Thursday morning, while the offshore yuan, also known as CNH, also appeared to have stabilized.
"Recently, buying in late afternoon trading session hints at the 'national team' at work, while the PBOC is determined to squeeze the CNH shorts," Hong Hao, managing director of research at BOCOM International wrote on Thursday.
"In an environment of deteriorating fundamentals, interventions in various asset classes on the mainland have prevented market prices from adjusting to China's economic reality."
China's bluechip CSI300 index fell 0.9 percent to 3,146.90 points at 1:51 GMT, while the Shanghai Composite Index lost 1.1 percent to 2,943.45 points.
The Hang Seng index in Hong Kong was up 1.5 percent, to 19,176.96 points.

According to the director he decided to name Nikhil's character Munna as Tamanchey, too, is an intense love story with crime in the backdrop. Munna's story and character in Tamanchey is apparently close to that of Anil Kapoor's in Tezaab. Now wonder what Mr Jhakaas has to say about this?

Body building is a passion for some people and they are ready to put in any amount of money and time to fulfill their goal of perfect body. They spend lots of money on health supplements and put in hours of strenuous labor in the gym to get those perfect measurements.
Listed below are the top 10 body builders in the world in the present times:
1. Arnold Schwarzenegger
The list of best body builders in the world is topped by Hollywood superstar actor Arnold Schwarzenegger, who has been won the title of Mr Olympia for seven times. His perfectly proportionate and muscular body has earned him the top spot on this list, for which he credits free weight basic exercises, along with high volume reps.
2. Lee Haney
This famous body builder won the title of Mr Olympia for eight years in a row, from 1984 to 1991. His exercise routine basically consisted of pyramid pressing movements, which accounted for the unmatched shape and size of his chest.
3. Lou Ferrigno
Featuring next on the list of best body builders in the world is Lou Ferrigno, who made it big in his early twenties by winning Mr Universe titles in 1973-74 and he continued to shine in the field till his forties. Till date, this man has been unmatched in terms of size. He basically concentrated on his chest and presses.
4. Markus Ruhl
The German body builder Markus Ruhl features next on the list of top 10 body builders in the world. This man was known for his artful physique, which earned him two IFFB pro shows. His basic exercise regime included machine presses, which gave him the classic muscular body.
5. Bertil Fox
Bertil Fox was one of the best body builders, but today is serving a life imprisonment sentence for committing a murder. He stood at no 5 in Mr Olympia contest in 1983. Heavy weight and basic movements helped him get the most amazing three sets of pecs.

Penn opens its season Saturday when it hosts Drexel at Franklin Field at 1 p.m. The Quakers are coming off a 10-6 season last year, itshighest win total in nearly 25 years.
Some things to think about as the Quakers embark on the 2007 season in the hunt for an Ivy League title...
Penn is coming off its most successful season in nearly a quarter-century. Last year, the Quakers posted a record of 10-6 overall, its first 10-win season since the team went 11-4-1 en route to the Ivy League title in 1982.
The Quakers finished last season ranked for the first time since 1994. Penn was 20th in the final IWLCA poll and spent most of the season in the rankings, peaking at 16th in early April.
A total of 16 letterwinners return from last year's team. Just six players are lost, including four starters. Overall, the Quakers return eight starters.
Head Coach Karin Brower returns multiple offensive weapons from a team that had a program-record 167 goals last year. Senior Chrissy Muller led the team in points (35) and assists (16) last year. Rachel Manson returns after a sophomore campaign that saw her score 21 goals and hand out 11 assists, while juniors Allison Ambrozy (19 goals, 9 assists) and Melissa Lehman (22 goals, 4 assists) and sophomore Becca Edwards (17 goals, 2 assists) all return.
Defensively, Penn graduated two starters from a backline that was ninth in the nation in scoring defense, but returns captains Karen Jann and Sarah Eastburn. Eastburn collected 16 ground balls and caused 15 turnovers, while Jann scooped 19 ground balls and caused 12 turnovers. Collectively, they helped the 2006 Quakers hold opponents to 310 shots, a whopping 140 fewer than Penn's offense produced. Hilary Renna will also be an option on defense after starting nine games and playing in all 16 last year.
Draw controls were a major advantage for the Quakers last year, as they out-drew their opponents 190-138. Allison Ambrozy and Tarah Kirnan both returners took the bulk of the draws, and Ambrozy led the team with 29 controls.
A talented crop of first-year players were key to the team last year and will be called upon to step up once again. Becca Edwards was the first call off the bench as a freshman and produced 17 goals and two assists. Hilary Renna proved to be an adept defender, starting nine games and playing in all 16. Samantha Bird played in 11 games and scored three times, while Ginna Lance, Hannah Rudloff, Katie Mazer and Kaitlyn Lombardo each saw plenty of playing time last year as well. And although she's a junior, Melissa Lehman came off a first-year injury to have a huge debut as a sophomore, scoring 22 goals and four assists.
Head Coach Karin Brower believes the Class of 2010 is the best she's ever had, and with good reason the class boasts speed, defensive prowess and plenty of scoring ability. Several freshmen will vie for starting positions this season.
Chrissy Muller will look to seal her place in the record books this season. The senior is among the program's all-time leaders in every offensive category and is third all-time with 46 assists. Muller already has the most assists of any Quaker in a generation, and she needs 15 helpers to tie Lisa Romig '82 for second place all-time.
The University of Pennsylvania and Franklin Field will host the 2007 NCAA Division I Women's Lacrosse Championship on Memorial Day weekend. Itwill bethefifthtimean NCAAlacrossechampionship has been held at college athletics' oldest stadium, which has previously held the 1983 and 1985 women's and1973 and 1992 men's finals.
The Quakers' schedule will once again be one of the hardest in the nation. Seven opponents this season were ranked in the final IWLCA Top 20 poll of 2006, and both teams in last year's national final are on the slate. The schedule includes two-time defending national champion Northwestern, Johns Hopkins, Penn State and Syracuse. In the always-tough Ivy League, national runner-up Dartmouth, Princeton and Cornell were all ranked last year. Fortunately for Penn, four Ivy games will be at home Yale, Cornell, Dartmouth and Princeton will visit Franklin Field.
Quoting Head Coach Karin Brower
On building on last year's success:
"I think each year we've been getting better and better. Last year we took to the field expecting to win, and I could see that in the girls. We struggled a bit when we got behind, and it takes beating teams to have success success breeds success. We play expecting to win."
On the strength of the Ivy League:
"Having three of the 16 teams in the tournament last year be from the League was pretty amazing. I think among us, Princeton, Dartmouth and Cornell, it's pretty open, and I expect to see three of us in the NCAA Tournament."
On the team's strong schedule:
"Winning the Ivy League is a way into the postseason, but it's actually the hardest route for us. Doing well in our region and against the top teams in the country can get us there by getting us the nod for those at-large bids."
On her goals for 2007:
"We were clearly disappointed in not making the tournament last year, but this year, we not only want to win the league and make the tournament, we want to play on our home field on Memorial Day weekend."
On hosting the 2007 NCAA Division I Women's Lacrosse Championship:
"One of the themes is defending our house' and beating every team that comes here this year. It gives us a home-field advantage if we can get there. I think it also shows the committment and the backing that the Penn athletic department has given to women's lacrosse."
On the freshman class:
"This is the best class we've ever had, not only in talent, but in depth. We have kids who will be vying for starting positions, and the bulk of them will have playing time. They will help give us the depth in the midfield that we've been trying to have. They have speed, they can score and their work ethic is fantastic."
On the team's attack:
"Chrissy Muller will once again lead our attack. She's our composed, confident and vocal leader. She can score, but also set people up. Our strength will be on attack, and we're very balanced. All seven kids there will be capable of scoring. We have a couple of players who can really put the team on their backs and win the game for us."
On the midfield:
"We have a great deal of depth we're looking to play at least six midfielders per game. We have speed and some of our best defenders and attackers in the midfield."
On the defense:
"We have some experience back with Karen Jann, Sarah Eastburn and Hilary Renna. We have some good takeaway defenders, and we'll look to cause more turnovers this year."
On the goalkeeping:
"I think Sarah Waxman has spent the summer working hard, and she has the capabilities to be one of the best goalkeepers in the League. We're excited about the athletic ability of freshman Emily Szelest."

We need a dog like this in San Francisco!
With bike thieves becoming more and more emboldened these days, a personal bike bodyguard isn't such a bad idea.
Thanks to this Golden Retriever in China, owner Luo Wencong never has to worry about coming out of the market to find nothing but a sawed off U-lock.
The dog — named Li Li — faithfully stands guard, causing locals to nickname him the "Bike Hugging Dog." When Wencong returns, Li Li hops on the back of the bike, and with a bark, they ride off into the sunset together.

Insight, wit and analysis as BBC correspondents, journalists and writers take a closer look at the stories behind the headlines. Presented by Kate Adie and Pascale Harter.
February 6th, 2016
Episode 751 of 867 episodes
The human stories behind the headlines. In this edition one correspondent flies through the Latin American night visiting three countries in search of the truth about the Zika crisis; another accompanies members of a private militia on patrol in Kenya. They're looking for rhino poachers and if they find them, they'll kill them; the kingdom of Saudi Arabia has been built on oil. But the oil price has nosedived and for the Saudi leaders, it's a time of unprecedented insecurity; the Syria peace talks in Geneva have been put on hold - no point talking just for the sake of talking, says the UN special envoy. And 'imagine a dolphin or a unicorn jumping through your third eye!' That's one of the suggestions at a group therapy session out in the Sahara Desert. But what did the man from the BBC make of it all?

Oscar de la Renta commemorative postal stamps go on sale in America
The official Oscar de la Renta United States Postal Service stamps have been unveiled.
The Commemorative Forever Stamps went on sale on Thursday (16Feb17), with Hillary Clinton, Anna Wintour and revered businessman Michael Bloomberg all sharing stories of the late designer at the launch event in New York's Grand Central Terminal's Vanderbilt Hall.
The trio regaled the audience with tales of their close friend, who passed away at the age of 82 in 2014.
"I had bought this dress off the rack and Oscar and (wife) Annette were among the guests," Clinton began of her first encounter with the fashion star at the White House in 1993.
"Oscar goes through the receiving line. As I'm shaking his hand and welcoming him to the White House, he says, 'That's my dress.' I said, 'Yes, it is.' He said, 'Where did you get it?' I told him. He said, 'Well, I'm calling you tomorrow.' And he did."
She also spoke about the tour de la Renta gave her of the orphanage he started in his home country, Dominican Republic. The designer showed her around after Hurricane Mitch in 1998.
"Oscar de la Renta was an immigrant, as Mike Bloomberg has said, and aren't we proud and grateful that he was?" she exclaimed.
"He gave up his heart and his soul to make sure that his example would live on. What a fitting person to be chosen by our Postal Service, mentioned, by the way, in the Constitution, something we should all read and reread in today's times, and its choice of this immigrant, who did so much for our country, his country, truly is what it means when we say, USA forever (the slogan marked on corner of the stamps) Who we are, what we stand for. And let there be many, many more immigrants with the love of America that Oscar de la Renta exemplified every single day."
Meanwhile, Wintour told the crowd she "admired and adored" him, and knows de la Renta would have loved the stamps.

"-in other words, the Aruwina Kingdom is a country where only ordinary humans live in, and they are treating beastmen like Reona and Rina, and other people of different races as slaves?" Karito asked.
"(Chomp Chomp!) That's right. From the King to the soldiers, all of them think that it is obvious to keep and raise beastmen like us as pets since we're not different from beasts...(Nom Nom Nom) My father had always complained that they are too old-fashioned… (Nom Nom Nom!) Beastmen and other subspecies being slaves are already old stories from several hundred years ago." Reona explained.
"Is it different now?" Karito questioned.
"(Nom nom…) Fuuh ah. I have heard the story that at that time, various beastmen slaves joined hands with some humans who went against the Alwina Kingdom and revolted all at once. Even though the physical strength of the beastman and demi-humans was much more than the humans' at that time, they weren't clever enough as their technology didn't develop adequately. But, with the cooperation with human beings from the rebel army, they were taught how to fight using their skills and heads." Reona elaborated. "It is not unusual for beastmen to marry the Royal Family now, and there are a lot of countries with beastmen as their kings as well. In any case, I don't know much about other countries. Even the story I just told you was taught by my father."
Several hours had passed since we escaped from the annihilated village. The sun had already completely set on the horizon.
The night's darkness of this world without streets is so dark that it can't be compared to the darkness of any downtown back on Earth. Every time night came, it made Karito feel like the world had totally sunk into darkness.
On the other hand, when you look up into the night sky, the number of shining stars in this world was several times more than that of Earth's. It can't even be compared to the starlight from planetariums.
The three of us decided to spend the night in the forest near the road. We dug a shallow hole and made an open air fire with tree branches and leaves from the forest. We could scatter the smoke and control the light as well. It's one way that I learnt of when I checked the net about survival.
"Still, this is delicious. Even though the taste is rather strong, it is my first time eating this sort of food! Hey, Rina! You should eat without reserve. Because you bled a lot, you need to eat a lot of meat to replenish it." Reona stated.
"Ye-Yes, I understand. However, this bag sure is unusual..." Rina was looking at the object (retort pouch) in her hand with bewilderment and curiosity.
She had regained her consciousness on her older sister's back,just a while before Karito and Reona were deciding to camp out. Her condition was so good that the fact that her body and internal organs had been pierced by a blade seemed like a lie.
When she first woke up, she lost the memories she had before she lost consciousness (her village being overrun by Aruwina Kingdom's soldiers, and herself getting stabbed), but after a brief moment, she started to panic before she finally calmed down with the help of Reona. She hugged her younger sister who was screaming and thrashing violently at her chest, and kept stroking her head until she had finally quietened down.
When Rina had calmed down, Karito introduced himself to her. Looking at his unfamiliar appearance (black hair and eyes), unfamiliar figure (special armor), and unfamiliar weapon (M14EBR), Rina, who was only a girl from a remote village, was surprised to encounter an unknown existence like Karito at the beginning. But, because of her older sister's persuasion, he was able to avoid leaving a negative impression somehow.
Still, the decisive factor of persuasion was the phrase, 'her and her elder sister's saviour'.
It was at that moment when the two sisters who had just survived the slaughter, finished embracing each other while confirming their familial love for each other.
"―GRowwlll" The sound of a stomach growling, similar to the cry of small animal sounded at the same time.
One was blushing, while another one put her hand on the source of the sound and said [when you feel relieved you become hungry]. He doesn't even have to say who it was.
That was why, after they had collected the dried wood and started the fire, the three of them ate dinner while surrounding the open air fire.
Reona and Rina didn't have anything besides the clothes they wear on their bodies. They couldn't have taken any baggage while escaping from their village, which resulted in not having any food at all. It can't be helped since their house was burned down, and they had rushed out, not knowing when the pursuers would come.
The rations (combat ration) that those two ate were the rations from the self defense force which Karito had dished out.
They were puzzled at first, looking at the metal like bag (retort pouch), but as soon as they had eaten one piece of the hamburger steak, they seemed to be pleased. The two had carried the spoon to their mouths without stopping .
"Another serving!" Reona demanded.
"O-Onee-chan! He has already helped us with much effort and shared precious food to us! You musn't be unreasonable." Reona, who was energetically asking for a second helping, was stopped by Rina immediately.
Being pointed out by her younger sister, the tension immediately reversed. Her animal ears and tail hung down as though she was feeling sorry.
"Ah, I'm sorry Karito, for me to ask for such luxury..." The beastwoman apologised.
"You don't have to worry about such a thing. Because there is a lot, you can eat as much as you want." The male smiled.
Anyhow, he can literally provide them with an infinite amount. Having been in contact with friendly people after the span of a year, Karito was very generous and easy going..
...Is it okay for a wolfman to eat something that's mixed with onions? But, if you remove the animal ears and tail, they look like a human, so it probably was okay, or so he thought. If it was no good, he would have to sincerely apologize. If he wasn't mistaken, chocolate is also not good.
As if emphasizing Reona's pleasant mood from being able to get a second serving of delicious food, the tail sprouting from her back swayed left and right. Looking at this, Karito smiled wryly as he carried a spoon of stewed pork and potato (a kind of military ration from the French Army) to his mouth, and looked up. Before he knew it, the face of Reona was right in front of him. Startled, Karito bent backwards.
Drool was coming out from her mouth. Her sight was set on the stew. The speed of her wagging tail was much faster than before. It was like a propeller or an electric fan.
What she was hoping for, the drool dripping from her lips already said it.
"...Do you want a bite?" Karito sighed.
"Is it okay?!" Reona yelped in excitement.
"Onee-chan!" Rina uttered exasperatedly.
He couldn't have betrayed her expectations after being shown such an expression. Judging from Rina's behavior, unbefitting of someone of a tender age, she seemed to act as a stopper for her wild elder sister.
Reona leaned to him with eyes was full of expectation. Her big breasts and deep cleavage shook slightly from the movement. Wondering if it was her aim or not (probably the latter), but having such goods brought near to him... Tt was like poison to Karito's eyes.
Whatever it is, it was touching Karito. She pressed it to his arm with all her strength. However, the softness and the warmth of her body wasn't transmitted to Karito through his armour plate that could deflect a rifle bullet.
(It would be better to make it thinner...)
By reflex, even Karito had his own share of sexual desire despite its disappointing extent.
As he was trying hard not to show his regrets through his face and words, he took the spoon to Reona's mouth. Without hesitating, Reona tasted the tip of the spoon that was being held out.
It was an indirect kiss, the thought flashed for a moment in his mind. Even though he was suddenly hugged by a beautiful girl, all the same, Karito wasn't that inexperienced to be excited over an action of that level. In the first place, not to mention pretty girls, isn't such a reaction meaningless
"Delicious! Another bite!" Reona exclaimed.
"It looks like a CM of green juice."
[TL: for those who was interesting just google 青汁のCM]
Reona tilted her head to one side as if she wanted to ask what was green juice. My smile collapsed when I held out another spoon for her to take another bite. Her animal ears were twitching up and down happily, as if showing Reona's state of mind to her surroundings.
"Onee-chan is so embarrassing..." Rina sighed.
"I can't help it! It's so delicious! Hey, Rina, you take a bite too." Reona suggested.
"Fue... A-An ~ " Rina opened her mouth.
She thought about it for a moment before responding in the end. It looks like she was interested in the stew as well.
Reona turned her back to Karito and lowered her back to assume a crawling position, and held out the spoon to feed the stew to her younger sister. Karito was watching them warmly, but…
[TL: wait for it]
At that moment, he noticed something.
There was only a small cloth that was not even close to covering Reona's waist. As result of her nearly crawling posture, the important part of the women which originally had to be hidden was revealed to the fullest.
[TL: I know it!]
[ED: As expected…]
"Wait, I can see it , I can see it! Rather, isn't she making fun of me?!)
The cloth that was covering her secret region wasn't inferior to those that covered her breasts. The white cloth's level of design was much better than the rag cloth that was used to wrap around her breasts.
...Gah, the piece of cloth that acts as underwear was considerably thin, and it was tightly digging into Reona's sensual body. Thanks to that, it went beyond the description of being sexy to the point that it can only be expressed as erotic. The slit line was completely clear. This sexiness can easily beat that of gravure idols.
On top of that, her tail was shaking like those classic hypnosis methods using a string on five yen coin. As he was looking at it, Karito's reason felt like it was being snatched away little by little. Is she trying to tempt me? God damn it! She's trying to tempt me today?!
The spoon being taken away by Reona has left Karito's right hand empty. That very right hand was unsteadily reaching toward Reona's buttocks. .
Just another five cm until her buttocks. It was at moment that Reona turned to face Karito. The figure of Karito stretching his hands halfway towards her was captured in her eyes.
"What are you doing?" Reona asked.
"Waa?! I didn't do anything?!" Karito fumbled.
[ED: Yeah right.]
He tried to pull himself back, but it was already too late.
Reona recollected the place of Karito's hands and her posture from before, and smiled complacently, figuring out what had Karito intended to do. .
The smile isn't like the smile of pure joy when she tasted a dish from another world, but of that like a succubus trying to tease him.
"Kukuku, if my benefactor wishes to, I will let you touch my ass once, twice, or as many times as you want, but it should be done in secret, okay?" Reona continued smiling.
"...Forgive me. Please let me in on such a thing some other time." Karito apologised.
"I am looking forward to it." Reona smiled.
"Ah, Onee-chan is too shameful..." Rina blushed.
As expected, it was impossible to do sexual things openly in front of the young girl (Rina), so I would have to endure it. But, since I have made the promise, if there is take two, I will take the opportunity.
Karito thought that Reona was like those voluptuous Onee-san character who makes fun of the MC in eroge.
The image of him embracing Rina was overturned soon.
"However, Karito... You truly are a strange fellow." Reona stated.
The moment he retracted his hand that was stretched out to her raw plump ass before, he tried to avert his eyes from embarrassment. His ears reacted to the slightest sound, so at the very least he could turn to look at Reona once again.
And what Karito witnessed was the loveliness that teased a naive young guy, her beautiful face which gave off a unique eloquence that would not let the partner feel discomfort, for a moment, that face was covered in melancholy.
When Reona noticed that Karito was looking at her again, she immediately returned to her smiling face. .
Not having the courage to closely examine the nature of the gloomy feeling that crossed her face in that moment, Karito could only go along with her smile, before looking down to the stew in his hands.
"That reminds me, how old are you, Reona?" Karito asked.
"I'm 15 years old this year." The beastwoman replied.
"You are younger than me?! It is a foul play to be this erotic this young! Rather, I thought you were older than me!" Karito complained.
"Erm, how old are you, Karito?" Reona asked.
"19... No, a year has passed since I came here, so I will be 20." Karito answered.
"Eh, is that so? You don't really… ...Nn?" Reona looked up suddenly.
Her animal ears twitched a little, as if trying to find something.
"Is there something wrong?" Karito questioned.
"Onee-chan?" Rina looked worried.
"I heard something just now. It was the cry of a beast... There is the voice of a human too!"
"A pursuer!" Karito frowned.
He covered the fire in the hole with the soil that he dug out immediately to put it out. The figures of the three were surrounded by darkness. Moonlight didn't reach them much due to the trees' thick branches, and the leaves growing on them.
Karito listened carefully while equipping his M14EBR. The silence spread, making the world feel like it had stopped moving. Only the sound of the leaves rustling in the wind could be heard.
He looked around him hard for the figures of people, but he couldn't find any... That was what he would like to say, but when being cautious like this, even the silhouettes of trees and bushes would look suspicious in the dark. It's bad for his heart. In particular, Rina was terribly scared. Even though Karito couldn't see her face clearly in the dark, he could sense the fear coming out from her clearly.
Because he couldn't understand this turn of events, he asked the instigator of the situation in a low voice.
"Was it really the voice of people?"
"Don't make light of the sharp ears of an adult of the Garm tribe... However, regarding the direction to where I have heard the voice, it seems to have come from the sky..." Reona elaborated.
"...Sky?" Karito asked.
Reona looked up towards the night sky. Following her, Karito looked up as well. For a while, nothing seemed to change. The pitch black sky was still filled with bright stars.
But, he didn't have time to admire it this time. Karito equipped his goggles and switched it to the infrared night vision mode. The world in his field of vision that was shrouded in darkness changed into colors consisting of red, purple, blue, and black. By looking at the different colors of heat that each object has, it allowed Karito to see in the darkness.
In the sky where even starlight disappears as if it was swiped with ink, a pink silhouette floated.
From the looks of it, it seemed like a person who was sitting on a four legged beast with wings spreading out from its back. The distorted large silhouette swooped down towards Karito and his group. He realized it was because the human mounting the beast released his hands from the reins, and projected his right hand.
"Enemy attack!!" Karito yelled.
The warning and the jockey's right hand twitched at the same time. A light ball swept over the tip of the trees, hitting the ground several meters behind Karito, and an explosion occurred. The three people flew from the impact and fell down.
A wild shierk resounded.
Unfortunately, the place where Karito fell onto was the place where he had put out the open air fire just now. It's only been a while since it was put out, so the soil was still extremely hot. The armor Karito had equipped didn't have any resistance towards fire damage, and thus, he was burnt.
He jumped up immediately, patting the area around his stomach to cool off the burned area. At that moment, a large shadow passed by overhead. Reona saw through the real nature of that being at once. The Garm tribe didn't only have sharp ears, but also sharp eyes that see well in the night.
"That was a Griffon! It's the pursuers from Aruwina Kingdom!" Reona exclaimed.
"It's slightly unexpected for them to chase from the sky..! Do you know what kind of attack was it just now?" Karito asked urgently.
"It's the Magic Cannon! You will turn into meat paste if you receive a direct hit, so be careful!" The beastwoman warned.
He looked at the bomb's trace of impact. Judging from the scale of the explosion and the indentation on the ground, its power seems equal to a small sized mortar, or an RPG (Anti-Tank Rocket).
Unlike an ordinary cannonball, it didn't shatter to pieces when it exploded. Even though he didn't have to worry about being damaged by the shattered pieces, it was still dangerous. With this power, it seems like it will not be a good idea to use the surrounding trees as a shield. You would either be pulverized together with the trees, or be ripped apart by the exploding woodchips.
The griffon that had just left turned back and started attacking again.
"Reona, bring Rina to the other side. Lower your stance and escape quickly!" Karito ordered.
"What do you intend to do, Karito!?" Reona demanded.
"I'm going to fight back!" The man stated.
As he took some distance away from the sisters, he made a diversion shot with his M14. He intended to draw the attention of the griffon rider with this. By removing the silencer, the firing flame (muzzle flash) of a large diameter rifle stood out in the darkness. As expected, the rider turned the head of the griffon towards Karito who was visible from firing flame.
This was fine. Karito thrusted one knee out and shifted to a shooting in the kneeling position. He selected full auto on his M14EBR, and aligned to the griffon's silhouette that grew bigger over time.
Simultaneously, as he stopped his breathing for a moment, he made the shot. He suppressed the gun that was moving intensely from the rapid fire. He corrected his aim with his finger from each burst, and finished shooting a magazine in no time.
Among the bullets that have been shot, ten or more of them tore up the flesh of the griffon along with its rider, crushing his head, and bursting his internal organs, completely stopping their breaths.
Thanks to the experience of anti aircraft shooting on high-speed flight targets, (mainly attacking the enemy's helicopter. Depending on the model, it can even be shot using a handgun) it resulted in the rider being careless, charging straight into them without being able to take any evasive movement, making the target bigger.
"Uo, how dangerous!" Karito breathed heavily.
Two seconds later, Karito released his shooting position and rolled to the side. The griffon and it's rider's body crashed into the place where Karito had been. *Gusha!* Karito grimaced as he heard the unpleasant gory sound of the impact from nearby.
"There are more reinforcements! Four riders will approach soon, and there is dragon mixed in this one too!"
"As expected of fantasy! Will the dragon breathe out fire as well?" Karito asked.
"Of course!" Reona nodded.
"How far can the dragon's breath reach!?" Karito questioned.
"Erm, probably around 50 melts? That was what my father told me before, but I've never seen the breath on my own. Anyway, let's escape. The opponent this time is too difficult to handle!" The beastwoman urged.
[TL: melts probably their own standard of measuring, I think it is meter.]
Karito operated his PDA while rushing the two of them, replacing his equipped weapon to another from the item box. His breath was heavy, and his heart was throbbing intensely too. However, what allowed him to pass a calm judgment was the <WBGO(Game)> which offered a sublime real battleground experience.
It was in an anti air battle such as this, that it was important to show large offensive power to his opponent to suppress them, Karito thought. Be it a bluff or anything else, it would work fine. If we show them excessive firepower, even they would not approach us recklessly.
The weapon Karito chose according to his plan was M46 light machine gun made by the Fabrique Nationale company. It was the improved type from the MINIMI sub machine gun that even the Japan Self-Defense Force adopted for their special force. It can use the M16/M4 assault rifle bullet on its belt link too.
If it uses the 5.56mm Nato bullet, its power might degrade, but its firepower far exceeded the M14.
[TL: I doubt you guys want to see an ammo so I didn't bother to search it]
It was said that it was lighter than the original model, but it is still 1 kg heavier than the M14BR. While being able to reload 200 bullets into the belt and feeling the profound weight of the light machine gun, Karito ran towards the centre of the forest. Just diagonally ahead was where the two parties had moved first, with Reona carrying Rina who didn't have the stamina and running power compared to the two.
The world recovered its light suddenly. When I took off my goggles and moved my neck to find the cause, a swirling, dazzling light sphere was floating in the night sky. It seemed to be a type of magic flare.
I heard a roar which sounded like a cow and a lion from the sky.
"The dragon breath is coming!" Reona warned.
At the same time as Reona's warning, Karito jumped to the side and turned over, pointing the muzzle of the light machine gun at the area where he heard the roar of the beast.
The marked dragon approached rapidly from the distance of 100m. Its height was about 20m, the size which probably about the same as a light airplane. The body that was illuminated by the flare light was gray, and it was covered with thick muscles that seemed to enable it to dance in the sky freely. Looking as if it was accumulating something, the dragon raised its neck, its face and throat bloated.
Anticipating the dragon's breath, the MK46 spouted out fire. The light machine gun discharged 5.56mm bullet flying from the muzzle at the initial speed of 940m/s and discharged 12 bullet/s. The tracer shell was loaded into the belt link at one shell for each 5 bullets, and it allows one to see the trajectory like a red laser clearly. He altered the trajectory of the tracer along with the barrage.
[TL: Tracer shell was just a bullet that was painted red on the tip of it like this]
*Thud thud!* Karito could hear the sound of the rifle bullets sinking into the body of the dragon between the intervals of the gunshot. When Karito looked at it, the bullets hit between the area of its chest and its long neck.
Forgetting the existence of its rider, the dragon writhed in pain and agony as its balance broke.
Like the griffon from a while ago, the dragon fell and plunged at the direction of the three. This time, it went across the space between Karito and Reona, who was carrying Riina, breaking a few trees in the process before coming to a stop.
It was unfortunate for the three, but the rider was nearly unhurt. In addition to the fact that the 5.56mm shell couldn't pierce through the dragon's body, its body became a cushion for the fall.
"Die! You traitor of the human race-" The rider yelled.
"You stupid bastard!" Karito sighed.
He fired without question. Holes appeared in the rider's winter coat layered with thick skin armour as the man was forced to perform a dance of death.
The bullet shells lodged through the back of the body, and dug into the body of the dragon that laid on its side. The dragon leaked out a painful scream and raised it head; it wasn't dead yet. It seems like the 5.56mm bullet wasn't enough to kill the target this big, he analyzed calmly while shooting its head, this time stopping its breath completely.
"Amazing, to kill a dragon this easily..." Reona was in awe.
Disregarding Reona's admiration, Karito remained cautious. But, there was no sign of attack coming from the remaining Sky Cavalry. They were circling in the air. Things seemed to go according to Karito's plan. They became cautious of Karito's assault, and were keeping their distance.
The effect of flare disappeared, and darkness fell onto the forest once again. This was the most suitable timing.
"At any rate, let's run. We will have look for some place to hide." Karito instructed.
"I heard that there is a fort for travellers to take a rest in after we pass through this forest! If I am not mistaken, it is this way!" Reona replied.
As soon as Reona said that, she began to run. Karito ran after her as well. The pursuers shot up the flares again, but they continued to run without minding it. Within a forest with slippery grounds and trees roots sticking out of the earth, the two of them continued running with a speed like that of a sprinter on flat ground.
As soon as they went through the forest, they saw the shadow of a building. It was surrounded by high walls in the darkness; it was a stone fortress.
"It's there!" Reona shouted.
They sprinted with all their strength. Because there wasn't any place to hide, the two sprinted with a speed that could compete with a car, and they passed through the open gate and entered inside.
It seemed to be an unpopular place as it had that abandoned look where people haven't been using it for some time. After all, at the point where the information about Aruwina Kingdom invading was heard, users of this place like travelling merchants and adventurers will naturally evade coming to the direction of Reona's village.
He scanned the surroundings to make sure, but as expected, there was no other sign of life. The inside of the three storey building was pitch black as parts of the door and the windows were blocked, Karito took out a chemical light (when you bend it, the liquid inside will react and glitter) from his item box and lit up their surroundings. From the look of it, the first floor was a dining room.
They found a lamp in the cabinet enshrined in the corner of the room, and lit it up as lighting of the first floor.
He left Reona and Rina there and looked for a staircase to the upper floor. When he arrived on the roof, he looked for a place that was as inconspicuous as possible.
Soon, the pursuers were circling in the sky around the fort. They had obviously noticed that Karito had escaped to this fort. For certain, they would be watching the fortress where Karito has shut themselves in.
Surely they would be chased again if they attempt to escape from the fortress. Even if they had to remain confined in the fortress, there was a high probability that Karito would not be able to cope when they attack continuously
If they were to be caught by pursuers as it was, what kind of experience will Rina and Reona go through? That thought dominated Karito's mind rather than his own safety. It would truly be terrible.
"Rather than saying that we've succeed in running away from them, it's more accurate to say that we've been cornered by them, huh?" Karito sighed.
What should he do now? Karito wracked his brain.

Wednesday, 20 May 2015: Page Personnel Singapore has today launched the "2015 Executive Assistant of the Year" competition. Now in its third year, the campaign coincides with a recent survey finding that most secretaries and executive assistants feel unappreciated at work.
The survey, conducted by Page Personnel Singapore, of more than 600 executive assistants (EAs), personal assistants (PAs) and secretaries in Singapore has found that more than half of those feel unappreciated. When asked "Do you feel appreciated in your role?" 57% indicate that they do not.
In light of the survey results, Page Personnel Singapore is looking to give the country's best executive or personal assistants and secretaries the recognition they deserve. The most deserving will be named the 2015 EA of the Year. The winner will receive our biggest prize package yet, worth
$10, 000, which includes return flights on KLM for two to a European destination of their choice.
"This is a fantastic opportunity for the hard working executive assistants and secretaries of Singapore to be recognised," says Antoine Lamy, Director of Page Personnel Singapore. "Every hard working EA or PA deserves to be recognised for their hard work, and the Page Personnel EA of the Year competition is a great way for their bosses to express their gratitude for all their hard work."
The prestigious award recognises the talented administrative professionals who work hard behind the scenes to drive success in their organisation. As well as return flights for two to Europe and four night's accommodation, the winner will also receive a one year subscription to The Singapore Woman's Weekly, a one year membership to the Singapore Association of Adminstrative Professionals. The runner up will receive an overnight stay at the luxury Naumi Hotel.
"Our research found that the majority of EAs, PAs and secretaries working in Singapore do not feel appreciated in their company, which is a shame as they are often the driving forces behind a company's success," says Lamy. "The EA of the Year competition is the perfect opportunity for their hard work to be acknowledged."
"We'd like to thank all our sponsors, namely Cat & The Fiddle, Clariden Global, Hummings, KLM, Naumi Hotel, Singapore Association of Administrative Professionals, Swissbake and The Singapore Women's Weekly for their wonderful contribution to our campaign," adds Lamy.

BUSD - Give Berkeley High Community Accountability and Leadership
The Berkeley PTA Council is concerned about the actions taken against Berkeley High Principal Sam Pasarow, particularly the lack of communication around his suspension and possible dismissal. We are calling on BUSD and the School Board to be more forthcoming with what and why. The Exec Board of the Berkeley PTA Council has started a petition on Change.org calling on BUSD and the School Board to do the right thing:
On December 5th, Berkeley Unified School District made the unprecedented move of abruptly placing BHS Principal Sam Pasarow on leave, and has given no further communication on the matter. Based on this and stories in Berkeleyside and the Daily Cal, rumors are flying: is he being investigated for bullying classified employees, or mishandling complaints of sexual harassment? Has he committed a crime?

Not trying to offend just asking a question.
What do you think about this? Does it give you an ego boost knowing that they worship you? What about the ones who shamefully stereotype and look down on their own race and/or other races and praise you and look at your race as the best and most attractive. what do you think?
Most Helpful Girl
i don't understand this fascination with white people. there are SO MANY unattractive white people out there. as there are attractive ones. to choose an unattractive white person over an attractive non-white person is... so... illogical. And strange. I feel bad for white people who get chosen only for their skin color... I mean... that's a terrible reason to want to be with someone.85|30|2
I feel sorry for both the white person and the non white person, the white person being worshipped only for their skin color and the non white person who looks down and stereotypes their race and self-hates.

nah. i'm good with all the colors of the rainbow :p

Last week, Nicholas Kristof wrote in the New York Times that when we go online, "each of us is our own editor, our own gatekeeper. We select the kind of news and opinions that we care most about." This, apparently, is a bad thing, as it insulates us in our own "hermetically sealed political chambers."
Brian Lowry of Variety got in the act two days later. Mr. Lowry also seems terrified that the news experience is becoming more personalized, and that people might actually get to choose what they want to read. He specifically called our site, Veritocracy, a "worrisome tool" that "limits online exposure," creating "hermetically sealed thought-bubbles." (Is it possible that "hermetically sealed" was the term of the week at big media's weekend getaway?)
To be honest, I'm not sure either has actually used social media. Mr. Lowry, in particular, says that users of sites like Veri "never need see an article or link that challenges their existing opinions." This is one criticism I never expected, given that we built Veritocracy to make it easier to find multiple perspectives on the topics you want to read about (from blogs, mainstream media, readers, etc). This is possible today only because there are so many unique and diverse perspectives in the blogosphere and social media.
To some extent, this feels like old media looking for a boogeyman, and not taking the time to learn about why these new technologies are so popular. The idea that mainstream media provides a noble, unbiased, universal truth, is simply wrong. If anything, sites like Veritocracy are making better information more accessible, and eliminating the inevitable biases that come from having a limited amount of human editors deciding what people should read.
This isn't to bash mainstream media — it still has a tremendous amount of value, and I personally read the NY Times, WSJ, BusinessWeek, and, yes, Variety (among others). But it's now just one form of consumption among many, and I think that scares people who a) work in that space, and b) don't understand the other side.
Mr. Lowry never talked to me directly about what Veri does or how it works. Instead, he seems to have cherry-picked bits of information from an email that a friend of ours sent out to his own list the day we launched. That's unfortunate, because as I've said, Veri's goal is simply to help people get better information about the topics they care about. That, to me, is something we all should be rooting for.

Is there a way to have an email receipt sent to the submitter?Asked by designservicesATAS on February 12, 2014 at 05:42 PM
Jotform works for my company 99% of the time. But every now and then, a form is filled out but never gets delivered to the Jotform inbox or by email receipt.
Right now, our Jotform is set up so that when a form is filled out, I get emailed along with a few other coworkers, but the person filling out the form does not get any email confirmation.
Is there a way to have an email receipt sent to the individual submitter to let them know their form went through?
