About: Queen's Hospital (Romford) Queen's Hospital (Romford) Romford RM7 0AG
Posted by Abdul
I was admitted to Queens Hospital from King George Hospital on28th June 2014 after overnight admission from 11p.m in A&E Dept.At Queen Hospital tests were carried out::Ct Scan as I had suffered stroke at 5p.m on 27th June 2014. MRI was on 29th June 2014. I also had ultra scan and saw the Consultant very quickly. I was given all necessary medication and the nursing staff was very friendly. They were very helpful in the diagnosis of my condition. I was taken very good care of by the team having support after discharge. it is exactly one week since the sudden stoke I suffered and thanks to Queens Hospital and the initial effort of King George hospital I am now recovering steadily. I must emphasis that the team made my stay at the hospital most welcoming with clean environment...very caring staff and very polite. I can only thanks once again for helping me to get back on my feet literally. Abdul. 4th July 2014 5:05 P.M

Above all, I do not recommend doing a "make install" as root for the moment because the scriptsdir and includedir environment variables got mixed up. I'm working on fixing it, but it is going rather slowly. Best regards, Kern

I know that 20s is the prime of beauty for most females. and I know that a lot of people lost their looks as they aged. But I think a lot of it is maintenance. If a pretty woman keeps her weight down and works out , treated her skin well, didn't have bad habits like smoking alcoholism and tanning which ruin skin, dyes her hair and doesn't get an ugly cut, keeps her teeth nice, dresses well and uses makeup can't she still look pretty at say 45 if she was pretty at 21?
On the other hand a woman at work in her 40s told me she was real good looking at my age. she is thin takes care of her hair teeth anf skin and dresses very well, but she just isn't that pretty so I can't imagine she was that attractive 20 years ago given that she takes care of herself. Or is aging really that bad?
Aging is a big fear of mine. I do admit that losing my looks scares me but as long as I don't age alone it should be okay if my s.o.loves me. But the idea of being called maam and not getting male attention...must be hard.
Anyone else feel this way?
Most Helpful Guy
It's possible, but the 40 something won't be as hot as the 20 something. That's just a fact of life. The boobs will lose their firmness, the butt will start to droop, wrinkles will happen, cellulite will happen and in general people will become less attractive. It's mostly because the best reproductive state is someone in their 20s. So people will look less bangable as they age.00|00|0

|Reviews for Not What it Seems
| Guest chapter 65 . 3/13
Im so hAppy youystill trying to finish this! You are basically the only guy/ oc story thats long im glad i decided to checkto see any updates :)
| HowltheOneWithoutFortune chapter 65 . 3/6
Good to see you back! It's nice reading this again after so long. I'm sorry to hear that school has been like that for you ;n; I've also learned that some school writing classes aren't the best. I hope you have better experiences.
Now onto the chapter.
I've always found Arietta to be somewhat tragic, and I think you portrayed that very well here. With the way this chapter ended, I can only wonder how the situation with Ion and Arietta will resolve. I'm not sure what to expect. So suspenseful ono
Great chapter! Very enjoyable to read :)
| DAve and Bob chapter 64 . 3/15/2016
Alex's dad was a pretty big bombshell. Actually a lot of interesting things happening in this chapter. I assume Alex is going to be on the sidelines for the next few chapters due to her condition plus this will let some of the other characters to get to be fleshed out with the changed story.
I kind of want to write more, but it seems so many other reviews already covered what I wanted to say it's kind of pointless for me to ramble on.
| Guest chapter 64 . 9/20/2015
Alex makes some very good points in this chapter. The group has been risking their lives on a daily basis for the people of Auldrant, and yet not only are they unappreciative, they constantly complain, and some even have the gall to blame the cast for what's happening to the world. They're totally ignorant to the fact that they all would have died if the group left the outer lands the way they were, and it's SO irritating because most of them make no effort to understand when the world leaders had to have at least explained enough for them not to be surprised by the lands suddenly lowering.
You're also right in saying the cities that were hit the hardest by the fall (St. Binah, Engeve, etc) were the most appreciative about what the group did. The cities that basically suffered no losses in comparison were the ones full of whiny bitches criticizing the group's every move. Malkuth was actually pretty good about it compared to Kimlasca, when the former suffered a lot more damages.
I'm more surprised Alex (or any of the other characters) didn't get sick of their attitudes sooner. I would be pissed too if I nearly died for a cause just to hear people criticizing it constantly. Even before the miasma reappeared most of them were complaining.
Kudos to you for hitting that nail on the head. Keep up the good work.
| Guest chapter 64 . 9/19/2015
Great chapter! The end was a surprise. Looking forward to what happens with Arietta. Can't wait until the next chapter. Update again soon!
| kingsherbert chapter 64 . 9/14/2015
Great chapter as always, worth the wait. The fact that you've been working on this for five years shows dedication.
Where you left the chapter was quite cruel, though. Alex's departure seems to have been poorly timed, I wonder how she'll react when she hears she still has family that are alive other than Isabell. I'm looking forward to learning more about her family, and definitely excited to see what happens with Arietta considering Ion's still alive here.
| RKamelot chapter 64 . 9/14/2015
Yay! Another chapter! As usual, this is a review from two people who share this account, first is RK's review! Here ya go:
Ah the dilemma that is splitting people up! Gotta hate that, but it does give the group something to talk about that helps lead up into the conversation about Arietta again. I really have to feel for Ion, he really does try his best to get the others to explain the situation to the girl.
Is it sad that I got amused when Jade barged in on Guy and Alex? I mean I know it was because he needed to talk and that nothing was going on except talking, but I had to laugh! Ahem, but that conversation was really deep. It was very interesting to get into Alex's head like that, even if it didn't completely sound like her? But yeah, poor Alex, she actually did die and yet people kept complaining about how life wasn't fair and was hard on them, it's kind of maddening when you get down to it…
Dun dun duuuuun! Finally it's come out completely into the open! It was still a shock to me when I read it last chapter and getting into it this chapter isn't any different! Having the curse slot aspect really adds and interesting twist on what is going on in their lives (even though it really sucks for Alex!) especially since now we have an added reason to want to find Dist and/or Sync to get it out of Alex's mind.
She even handled it well, which I would've thought she'd panic a bit more, though then again she has been getting used to dealing with out of the blue situations so I guess she handled it well!
Awww! She told him anyway! YES! I was happy when she told him, since she hates keeping secrets! Also thought Guy was very mature when he handled it as well!
OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG! YES! FINALLY THE HUG! And right in front of some of his soldiers too! Worth the wait! So happy, and so glad that Jade hugged her back!
Naturally, true to Jade's form he still managed to make it so that he wasn't the one explaining! Lol!
Ugh…. Cameron is joining the New Order!? Why?! That's annoying! Oh! But maybe the group can take him down later! That'd be awesome!
…Wait what?!...
ALEX HAS AN UNCLE!? Did NOT see that coming! Where's he been this whole time?! And why didn't he try and look for Alex or Isabel!? So many questions and now we must wait, not cool!
On another note, amazing chapter! Well worth the wait~!
Gotta admit, when RK told me there was a new chapter I asked her if she was messing with me. But since she was bouncing off the walls, I guess I had to believe her. Happy to read another of your chapters, so here is my review:
My first interest, is Alex's internal debate about the duel. Like she mentions, there isn't a real reason for this duel yet none of the others are trying to talk Anise out if it. I really like that she is not wanting to duel Arietta while at the same time wanting to back Anise up. It really shows how she's come to like each of the members of the group, even if Anise had a part with her "death" because of them kidnapping Ion and Anise's parents. Also, adding in Alex's situation, which isn't entirely the same, was very interesting since she can actually add that now that she knew she was able to make her own choices about her life. It's all very questioning, especially when Alex does have a slight point that one should be able to decide their own life with all the information they have.
I'm amused. I wasn't sure how you were going to keep Tear as part of the group since it's clear she's at a disadvantage but having her use the fact that the miasma is everywhere was actually kinda smart of her, since she would be able to work well with the group even with the poison in her body. Ion though, seems like he wishes he would be able to help her at the moment, even knowing he can't yet.
I really like Alex's thoughts when she's talking with Guy. Even though they seem to be a bit non-Alex (thank you curse slot?) it just shows how the world has gone to hell. People can't stand change and they start complaining about it which isn't fair to the group, who like you said, has time and again put their lives on the line to protect the ungrateful bastards who are being pests to them now. In fact, I believe that it was mostly people who were from other cities that became the most annoying, the people from Engave and St. Binah both thanked the group so she does have a point on that. In the end people are just ungrateful…
On the other hand, I get the feeling this isn't Alex talking, since she's normally one for helping people without complaining too much about it so I guess I can't be happy about her thinking. Jade walking in on them is also amusing, since he managed to cut Guy off when I really wanted to know what the blond would say.
It is amusing that Alex considers Jade to be a friend, I would think he would be considered the sarcastic uncle at this point but that works as well. Especially when she threatened him harm. Glad to know Ion can get to the point when asked to, so we can get to see Alex's reaction faster.
Her reaction was much calmer than I imagined it'd be. Not that that's a bad thing, I just thought she might try and deny it a bit more. So the fact that she's so calm about it either means she's matured a bit more or the curse slot has helped her mellow out a little.
Finally someone said it! I'm proud of Alex getting Jade to explain his reasons for withholding stuff. Yes, Jade usually has reasons for things but I'm glad that Alex called him out on this one. It was a legitimate excuse, naturally that Alex ignored, which I found to be amusing as well.
I will give her a massive amount of props for handling it the way that she did though. It would really suck for someone to have to leave their group of friends like she did when her two soldier friends came to get her. I enjoyed reading about the hug (which RK wouldn't shut up about once she realized I read it. She was happy about it and loved that Jade slightly returned the hug). The good deeds made my night though, since I remember Jade saying that line!
Oh dear lord, so Cameron has made an appearance just so that we know he's joining the New Order? Why couldn't he have made an appearance in jail or something? I really can't wait until he gets his true comeuppance for being the dickwad that he is. Especially with the way that he acts in this chapter! Seriously, if there is a way, I'd jump into your fic just to either punch the guy's lights out or kick him in his balls! Maybe both! He definitely needs it! Now I can't wait for Alex to get better so she can come in and defeat his ass later on!
My first thought on the last bit was likely what other people (including Guy) thought. I immediately assumed (which is bad since it makes an ass out of you and me) that it was a replica of her father. Now I'm definitely intrigued since I hadn't seen this coming. I don't recall Isabel mentioning anything about an Uncle and Alex likely wouldn't remember so this is a surprise. I'm massively interested in where this might be going. But hey! Depending on how this new news and possible relationship works out, Alex could have her uncle escort her down the isle when Guy gets up the courage to ask her hand!
All in all, it was an informative and surprising chapter. I really can't wait to find out more about the Uncle and to find out why he's in Engave and what he's done for all these years. I also look forward to how you end up doing the duel between Arietta and Anise. Good chapter and look forward to more.
| Riku Uzumaki chapter 64 . 9/14/2015
Well... I didn't expect that little twist at the ending.
| invadergirl1998 chapter 64 . 9/13/2015
Yaaay! It's been so long I thought this story was abandoned. I thought this was a great chapter but why would you end it there?! Please update soon! I need to know what happens next!
| RKamelot chapter 63 . 4/27/2015
Sorry for the late review! Life has been getting in the way, anyway, here's RK's portion of the review:
Man Jade, stop being so harsh on yourself! It kinda is sad that he keeps downing himself about the replicas because he created the technology but at the same time, if he hadn't then a lot of good wouldn't have happened either (Luke, Ion etc.)
Although it is interesting to see that he is trying to cover a few things from the others because he doesn't want them to feel bad. Of course then we have some of the replicas mentioning that fomicry shouldn't be created.
Gotta say, I keep forgetting that Ion wasn't around in the game, since you keep adding him in places that helps to make it flow. His thoughts on the replicas are sweet and then his sorrow about not being able to use his Seventh Fonon abilities to do crowd control is very touching. Still really curious about what you're planning to do with Ion, though hopefully it'll come up soon!
I almost want to argue with Jade about leaving Tear behind but he really does have a point, she shouldn't be stressing herself out so much that it'll kill her though I don't know whether or not the idea to leave her behind is a good one. Especially since Ion might still be planning on taking the miasma away?
But I kinda want to disagree with Ion. While it would be nice for Arietta to catch a break, I just can't see her willingly leaving the God Generals and becoming one of the good guys if he tells her the truth. Like most people, I believe that if she learns the truth then it'll be too much on her and she won't want to live how she's been living. And that in itself would be cruel, telling her that her most cherished person was replicated and then having to kill her is just wrong…..
I actually didn't see the whole curse slot thing coming. Well I did but at the same time it wasn't very strong in my mind. It brings up the question on what exactly Sync/Dist did to Alex. I'm a little concerned about this now, even more than I had been before. This is not likely to end well for Alex….
Gotta say, when Isabel is talking with Largo, she does have a point. Both with him actually caring about Natalia as well as mentioning that Van should've attempted to offer Natalia sanctuary on the New Hod. Love Isabel and her brilliance; though wish she would stay with Alex, especially with all the things going on. But I guess she's leaving again because she wants to help Alex, grr.
Awesome chapter! Worth the wait, and the constant bugging I possibly did for you.
Also, congrats on the 400,000 word mark!
With RK's review over, I'll go ahead and give mine, here is Mara's review:
Your writing just gets better and better with time. The way that you get Jade down is very nice and I find it easy to see how he would be thinking during these situations due to you. I can agree to his hesitation about seeing the good that has come from his creation of fomicry.
The Arietta portion of the chapter makes you want to think a lot as well. On one hand it might be beneficial for the group to tell the girl yet I can't help but think that it would come back to bite them in the butt if they were to tell her the truth. The original Ion was her everything so I really can't see her taking it well. Plus I would feel bad for Anise no matter what since it'll be hard on her to take that on herself since she barely is a teenager and she's already had to go through a lot of hardships. Good way of bringing all of this out during the chapter.
I really like what you've done to Alex, and am rather surprised that I was rather close with my guessing about what's causing that. I believe the only reason I didn't immediately assume it was a curse slot was due to the fact that I hadn't been sure Sync had infiltrated the labs at the same time as Dist, though all of the dialogue between him and Alex while in Keterberg is suddenly making more sense. The thought that Dist could make something has dangerous as a curse slot even more disastrous is very interesting and I can't wait to see how you're going to spin that. Good job building up the suspense on it as well, I was left guessing almost until it was finally revealed, which is something I love when reading. It also begs the question about what Ion might be able to do about it and whether or not they're going to be able to get her out of it without forever damaging her. Plus I can't wait to see what Guy would think about this, especially since he had been under one as well. At least they'll have something to bond over once it's done.
The Isabel scene is interesting as well, I enjoy the little things you added, like mentioning that she had never been into her father's study yet Alex had, it shows good character building for her and the little time that she did spend with Alex was touching as well, and I hope she might be able to find something to help her sister.
| invadergirl1998 chapter 63 . 4/27/2015
I never would have guessed that was what was happening to her! I can't wait to see where you go with it. :)
I really liked the convo with Isabell and Largo, I wonder if that'll do anything to change what happens to him.
| HowltheOneWithoutFortune chapter 63 . 4/23/2015
Whoo! Love these long, lengthy chapters. They make it worth the wait for sure :D Although when they mention Moh's mind deteriorating because of the Seventh Fonon, I couldn't help but wonder if his mind was stable to begin with. D:
Either way, that ending makes me excited for the next chapter. Lots to look forward to! Can't wait! :)
| RubyMoonz chapter 63 . 4/22/2015
Yeah, you better thank me yo. Had to get your butt into gear. B(
Anyway, one of your 'shorter' chapters, but that didn't take away from it any. In fact, I'm pretty sure it leaves everyone wanting to know more and see what happen. Anyway, I really dig the idea that you had for why Mohs's voice could carry and like i keep forgetting that Ion isn't suppose to actually be there. It's kind of weird to imagine, to be perfectly honest.
I wouldn't have minded to see what was going on with Guy, Alex, Luke, and Tear side, but yeah. Can I also mention that you write Jade really well. He's never really out of character, not that I've ever noticed. I'm not sure, you just write him really well and that's what makes reading his POV in certain chapters really great.
Also...dat curse mark which isn't like a normal curse mark but still a curse mark in a sense.
And as always, we get to Isabell's bit. You already know how much I love her, but I'm not sure what it is. I just want the best for her. Anyway, I really like her talk with Largo. You can see that he is conflict, but you can also see Isabell is as well because she should be around Alex.
But MAN! SISTER BONDING TIME! AWWW YISSSSSSSS!
I am looking forward to the next chapter!
| Riku Uzumaki chapter 63 . 4/21/2015
Considering the new information that has presented itself, it looks like Dist and Sync have used a modified Curse Slot to turn Alex into a Manchurian Agent (TvTropes) to do SOMETHING. No idea what that something is, though, but even then that's only if Jade's guess is correct... and his guesses usually are...
Why do I get the feeling that Sync is going to force Alex to do something that will permanently traumatize her (possibly by killing or almost killing someone she cares about)?
| WildfireDreams chapter 63 . 4/21/2015
Well that certainly explains some things, it never even crossed my mind that he put a curse slot on her. That or I seriously need to reread stuff because I forgot you foreshadowing it XD

Ironically, if I drop in on you, it's because you saw me paddle for it, knew you were faster than me, snaked around the back side of me, so that you could "claim" position, then looked at me dirty when I popped up anyway. Just because it took me 20 seconds of paddling to get on that wave, doesn't mean you have the right to use your ability to snake the peak me from behind.
Anyway, back to her.....if I was there I'd say something to her.....kook and all I'd let her know. O' maybe that's what you actually need, get a hot chic to say something to her.
rockaway has a good stretch of sandbar breaks, "uptown to downtown".. but some of the best breaks are downtown. unfortunately downtown is kook central. I mean Kook central. all these kooks from brooklyn and manhattan that read about surfing in that useless rag the nytimes decide that "hey, lets give surfing a try" and the better breaks are packed with brand new kooks everytime there is surf. and so trying to police the lineup is sort of like trying to put a forest fire out with a cup of water.... as a result I very rarely surf downtown.

Elvis Presley is living in Papua New Guinea's Highlands, ready to vote in the country's national elections, if the region's new electoral rolls are anything to go by.
PNG's electoral officials are concerned that the rolls in the five Highlands provinces are stacked with false names.
Names on registration forms include (the late) Elvis Presley, crooner Tom Jones and royalty - including the King and Queen, Electoral Commissioner Andrew Trawen said.
Ghost names and double entries were rife and voter registrations were up to 33 per cent above the estimated number of eligible voters, he said.
With PNG's national election set to start on June 30, the country's Electoral Commission is busy co-ordinating the update and correction of corrupted and inflated electoral rolls.
But the same old rorts and corruptions are surfacing in the Highlands, along with new twists such as Elvis impersonators.
Trawen said certain politicians in the "troublesome region" were behind the practice of ghost names and double entries on the voter rolls.
He warned them to cease the practice or face a declaration of failed elections.
The commissioner also warned he would not hesitate to cancel polling in electorates where voting was marred by electoral manipulation, intimidation and violence using guns.
In the 2002 election, widespread violence, intimidation and electoral fraud occurred in the Highlands, including in the Southern Highlands Province where six polls out of nine were declared invalid.
This time round the Electoral Commission was applying due diligence before acceptable figures of eligible voters were finalised, Trawen said.
Regions other than the Highlands were not coming up with inflated lists and the rolls for coastal and islands provinces were almost completed, he said.

New Delhi: India is all set to see two-wheelers that will run by Compressed Natural Gas (CNG). The project will be kick-started at an event today at CNG station, CGO complex in New Delhi. The event will be presided by Dharmendra Pradhan, the minister of state for petroleum and natural gas along with Prakash Javadekar, the minister for forest and climate change. The project is backed by GAIL (Gas Authority Limited) and Indra Prastha Gas Limited.
After the NGT diesel ban, this is another initiative to reduce air pollution. We've never tested a CNG-fuelled two-wheeler, but we can expect a drop in performance over a conventionally fuelled vehicle. The government will run the project on a pilot basis as it aims to attract two-wheeler users to adopt the technology. It says that the kits have been approved by the Automotive Research Association of India (ARAI). It estimates that the two-wheelers with CNG kit will emit 75 per cent less hydrocarbons than a petrol-powered two-wheeler. It also claims a 20 per cent reduction in carbon monoxide (CO) emission.

Louis Marshall (December 14, 1856 – September 11, 1929) was an American corporate, constitutional and civil rights lawyer, mediator and Jewish community leader who worked to secure religious, political, and cultural freedom for all minority groups. He was among the founders of the American Jewish Committee (AJC), defended Jewish and minority rights and, though not a Zionist, he supported the Balfour Declaration. He was also a conservationist, and was instrumental in (re)establishing the New York State College of Forestry at Syracuse University, which has evolved into today's State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry (SUNY-ESF).
Early life and education
Louis Marshall was born on December 14, 1856, in Syracuse, New York, to two, young Jewish immigrants, recently-arrived from tumultuous Germany. Founded in 1848, just eight years earlier, Syracuse was booming as a transportation, financial, and manufacturing hub on the Erie Canal, as the United States expanded West. On the brink of the American Civil War, the city was well-known as a hub on the Underground Railroad, as well.
Marshall's father, Jacob Marshall, had arrived in New York City at 19 years of age on September 1, 1849, from Neidenstein, Bavaria, Germany; his mother from Wurttenburg, Germany, in 1853.[1][2] According to Louis Marshall, the family name earlier had been spelled "Marschall", with a "c", in "Rhenish Bavaria ... near the French boundary".[3] Marshall's friend and colleague, Cyrus Adler notes in his remembrance of Marshall that the latter's "father migrated to the United states in 1849, the year which marked the beginning of migration from Germany following the failure of the revolutionary movements of 1848."[4] From New York City, Jacob Marshall had "worked his way up the Erie Canal to Syracuse, where he opened a hide, fur, and leather business. It was marginally profitable." [5]
Louis was the eldest of six children. He had one brother, Benjamin, two years younger; and four sisters: Marie, Bertha, Clara, and Ida; 13 years separated Louis and his youngest sister, Ida.[6] The family resided at 222 Cedar Street, "in the old Seventh Ward of Syracuse", an area today approximately where the Onondaga County Justice Center (county jail) is located.[7]
From childhood, Marshall was both a scholar and a linguist. His first language was German: "I spoke German before I knew a word of English, and so long as my mother lived (she died in 1910) I never spoke to her otherwise than in German."[8] Louis' mother, Zilli (or Zella), was "well educated for her times ... reading to [her children] in German, Schiller, Scott and Hugo, the standard literature of mid-century."[9]
Marshall attended "the Seventh Ward Public school"[10] and later Syracuse High School, from which he graduated in 1874, one of eight males in a graduating class of 22.[11][12] In addition, "he and his sisters attended German and Hebrew schools after public school hours".[13] In his various school settings, Marshall applied himself to studying French, German, Latin, Greek and Hebrew. The latter he learned from his father, as well.[14] (Later in life, Marshall taught himself Yiddish.)[15]
Upon high school graduation, Marshall "began the study of law, in accordance with the fashion of that day, in a lawyer's office, that of Nathaniel B. Smith",[16] where he served "a two-year apprenticeship". This under his belt, his next step towards a career in law was to "enroll in Columbia University's law school (then Dwight Law School)".[17] According to Marshall, "I really do not know if I am considered an alumnus of the Law School at Columbia University or not. If I am, then it is very peculiar that it has not been until I arrived at the mature age of seventy-two that I should have received a letter which is addressed to me as a 'Dear Fellow Alumnus'. I attended the Law School from September, 1876, to June, 1877.... I never received a degree because two years actual attendance was required."[18]
Marshall's professional life was full, varied and intersecting: as lawyer, Jewish advocate, public servant, conservationist, and more.
After completing his legal studies, on January 1, 1878, Marshall joined "the law firm of William C. Ruger", in Syracuse. "In 1885 [Marshall] became a member of the New York State Bar Association."[19] According to Adler, "the day he was admitted to the Bar, Marshall became a partner in Ruger's firm". Later, when Ruger was appointed chief justice of the New York State Court of Appeals",[20] "the law firm became Jenny, Brooks & Marshall."[21] During this period, Marshall rose to prominence not only in New York, but nationally: "In 1891 he was part of a national delegation that asked President Benjamin Harrison to intervene on behalf of persecuted Russian Jews."[5] Before the age of 40, Marshall had argued over 150 cases before the Court of Appeals.
Marshall was recruited by Samuel Untermyer, a classmate at Columbia,[20] to join the law firm of Guggenheimer and Untermyer in New York City. Moving there in February 1894, he became heavily involved in Jewish religious and political affairs. He also was involved in alternative dispute resolution (ADR), acting with Louis Brandeis[22] as the mediator in a strike of "60,000 to 70,000 cloakmakers" in New York City in 1910,[23] and in 1919 was the arbitrator in a clothing-workers' strike.
As his life became stable and more organized he acquired a circle of intimate friends. It was his habit to have lunch and relax at Monch's Restaurant with a group of lawyers during the work-week, where they would debate each other, with Loewenstein, the waiter, serving as Judge and jury.[24]
During the years 1910 and 1911, while William Howard Taft was president, two openings occurred on the United States Supreme Court. Several of Taft's prominent friends urged him to appoint Marshall, who had the reputation of an outstanding Constitutional lawyer and public citizen. A justice of the Supreme Court was the only elected or appointed office Marshall had ever wanted or sought; Taft eventually chose two other men for the positions.[25]
In 1914, during a wave of anti-Semitic hysteria, he was part of the legal team representing Leo Frank, a Jewish pencil factory manager convicted of raping and murdering a 14-year old girl. Marshall initiated an appeal of the case to the United States Supreme Court.
Marshall was active in protecting the human rights and civil rights of Jews and on behalf of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (of which he was a director),[26] and fought major legal battles on behalf of all minorities.
By the end of his legal career, Marshall had "argue[d] more cases before the U.S. Supreme Court than any other private lawyer of his generation."[27]
The Syracuse Post-Standard's editorial on Marshall, written upon his death in 1929, portrayed his motivation as: "Always, it was justice... Justice to all who were in need of justice ... justice to the people who, like himself, were of Jewish origin.... His was an intense Americanism.... He was a man who helped humanity ... unafraid, a man whose hand was ready to lift a load ... necessary for the lessening of misfortune or oppression, a worker in our common life who because he was a worker, became a leader, a man who crowded his years with service for the benefit of those about him—altogether an eminent American citizen whom a multitude will hold in grateful remembrance."[28]
Jewish leader
In 1905, Marshall "became chairman of the Board of Directors" of the Jewish Theological Seminary of America, conservative Judaism's rabbinical school.[29] After serving as an officer for several years at Congregation Emanu-El of the City of New York, a Reform congregation, he became its president in 1916. (Marshall was related by marriage to Emanu-El's spiritual leader, Rabbi Judah L. Magnes, whose wife, Beatrice Lowenstein, was Marshall's sister-in-law.)[30] Despite the implicit contradiction, to Marshall there was only one Judaism.
In 1906, with Jacob Schiff and Cyrus Adler,[31] Marshall helped found the American Jewish Committee (AJC) as a means for keeping watch over legislation and diplomacy relevant to American Jews, and to convey requests, information, and political threats to US government officials. Marshall eventually became the AJC's primary strategist and lobbyist. After being elected its president in 1912,[32] he held the post until his death. In this position, he opposed Congressional bills that would prevent many illiterate Jews from entering the US. Despite a Presidential veto, one of the bills was enacted in 1917, after a Congressional override.
Marshall was a strong advocate of abolishing the literacy test and said, "We are practically the only ones who are fighting [the literacy test] while a 'great proportion' [of the people] is 'indifferent to what is done'". Marshall was also the leader of the movement that led to the abrogation, in 1911, of the US-Russian Commercial Treaty of 1832.
At the end of World War I, Marshall attended the Paris Peace Conference at Versailles, France, in 1919, as President of the American Jewish Committee and Vice-President of the American Jewish Congress. There, he helped formulate clauses for the "full and equal civil, religious, political, and national rights" of Jews in the constitutions of the newly created states of eastern Europe.[33] These provisions Marshall believed to be "the most important contribution to human liberty in modern history."[34]
He fought a proposal to have the US Census Bureau enumerate Jews as a race.
Although he had some differences with political Zionists, Marshall contributed to efforts that led to the establishment of Israel as a Jewish homeland in Palestine. He was instrumental in organizing the American Jewish Relief Committee,[35] which brought together Zionists and non-Zionists for the management of Jewish colonization efforts.
In 1920, Marshall also attempted to stop a newspaper owned by Henry Ford, the Dearborn Independent, from spreading anti-Semitic propaganda.[36] Marshall and Untermyer entered the fight against the alleged libelous attacks featured in the paper, which led to a 1927 lawsuit against the automaker in federal court.
Public servant
Over the course of his career, Marshall served in a variety of notable public service positions, at every level. "In 1890, at the age of thirty-four, he was appointed by Governor Hill to a special commission to revise the judiciary article of the [New York state] constitution..."[37]. In 1894, was elected to serve as delegate to the New York State Constitutional Convention, representing the 24th District.[38]
In 1902, Marshall was appointed chairman of a commission investigating the slum conditions on New York City's Lower East Side, where many Jewish immigrants had settled. In 1908, he was appointed chairman of the New York State Immigration Commission.[39]
In 1910, Marshall was appointed a trustee of Syracuse University. In 1911, he became president of the board of trustees of the New York State College of Forestry at Syracuse University (now the State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry), a post he kept until his death in 1929.
At the New York State Constitutional Convention of 1915, Marshall again served as a delegate, this time being elected to an at-large position.[40] According to Adler, Marshall "was the only man who sat in three [New York state] constitutional conventions..."[41]
In 1923, Marshall was honored with an appointment as a director of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People.[26] In that post, "he fought against racial segregation in housing and against the disenfranchisement of the white primary.... Defending the rights of Negro voters, he secured a ruling of the Supreme Court in the case of Nixon v. Herndon that the Texas white primary law was unconstitutional."[42]
Marshall had both a public and a personal interest in conservation. In his home state of New York, he spearheaded efforts to protect the Adirondack and Catskill Mountains; at the state's 1894 constitutional convention, he helped establish the New York Forest Preserve.
Louis Marshall and Apollos Smith were a force in tandem driving home the "Forever Wild" Amendment to the New York State Constitution,which went into effect on January 1,1895.[43][44]
The devastating forest fires of 1899, in the Adirondack Forest Preserve, which burned 80,000 acres provoked Colonel William F. Fox, Superintendent of New York's state-owned forests, to urge replacing fire wardens with a cadre of professional forest rangers. However, it took more than a decade, the terrible forest fires of 1903, and 1908 and the help of Louis Marshall before the present New York State Forest Ranger system was finally established in 1912.[45] It is safe to say that Louis Marshall was the "bedrock" upon which the State Ranger School in Wanakena, New York was founded in 1912;[46] and a similar school at Paul Smith's College.
Later, "an ardent conservationist, he fought earnestly every effort to encroach upon the ... Preserve he had helped create. The efforts of highway builders to slash roads through the woods, of power interests to divert the rivers to their own use, and of hunters and fishermen to act without restraint all met his unqualified opposition."[47] A trustee of the Association for the Protection of the Adirondacks,[48][49][50] he led a floor fight in 1915, successfully protecting the forever wild clause of the New York State Constitution.
Marshall's interest in conservation extended to the national stage. In an intervention at the US Supreme Court, he had a key influence on a landmark case underscoring the right and responsibility of the Federal government for environmental protection and conservation. In a friend of the court brief on The State of Missouri v. Ray V. Holland, US Game Warden on behalf of the Association for the Protection of the Adirondacks, Marshall successfully persuaded the Court to uphold the Migratory Bird Treaty Act of 1918, between the US and Canada.[26][51] As characterized by Adler, Marshall argued that "the United States did have the power to create such legislation; that Congress was well within its rights; and that the Act was constitutional"; and further that, "If Congress possessed plenary powers to legislate for the protection of the public domain, then it had to take into account all possibility for such protection"[52], including protection of migratory birds, "these natural guardians" against "hostile insects, which, if not held in check ... would result in the inevitable destruction" of "both prairie and forest lands".[53] According to Handlin, Marshall's intervention "was a major factor in the decision."[54]
In an address at the University of the State of New York at Albany on October 21, 1921, Marshall argued passionately that "the people of this State have for a century been guilty of criminal recklessness in the manner in which they have permitted their magnificent forests to be destroyed. The entire country is beginning to perceive a glimmer of the calamity that confronts it if a policy of forestation is not carried into execution speedily. Our water courses will dry up. Our most fertile agricultural lands will become arid. The wild life of the forest, the fishes that were once abundant in our streems are threatened with extermination unless there is a speedy remedy..."[55]
At a more personal level, too, Marshall took a keen interest in the natural environment. Marshall became a member of the Adirondack Mountain Club after its founding in 1922.[56]
Political perspective
Alienated by what he perceived as the populism of the Democratic Party, and the 'half-baked theories' of the Progressive Party,[57] Marshall was a life-long Republican, endorsing Republican candidates for election and working closely with Republican congressmen and state legislators.[58] Although sympathetic with labor he was doubtful about the constitutionality of many laws passed on its behalf. He was suspicious of politicians like Theodore Roosevelt or Woodrow Wilson who choreographed their political campaigns to appeal emotionally to the masses; and he considered those in favor of a direct primary or a referendum "misguided" or "demagogues" or "rogues." Laws should always be elevated above men and to avoid the hysteria of mass action.[59][60]
Family life & legacy
As full as was his professional life, family played a central role in Marshall's life.
Raising a family
On May 6, 1895, he married Florence Lowenstein, a cousin of his partner, Samuel Untermyer. Lowenstein "was the daughter of Sophia Mendelson Lowenstein of New York and Benedict Lowenstein, a wealthy Bavarian immigrant... She had been educated at The Normal College (now Hunter College) in New York".[61] Within a few years, Louis and Florence Marshall had four children: James, Ruth, Robert (known as Bob), and George. They lived comfortably in a three-story "brownstone house at Number 47 East 72nd Street"[5] in Manhattan, a block and half from Central Park; the US Census of 1900 indicates that four servants resided with the Marshalls at this address. The children attended the Ethical Culture School "across Central Park" from their home.[62] Adler relates that "...everything centered around the up-bringing of these children. He was a good pal to his boys, and used to play baseball with them, the sport which he most admired."[63].
Home away from home
In 1899, together with five other families, the Marshalls bought 500 acres of shoreline on Lower Saranac Lake in the Adirondacks and hired architect William L. Coulter to design and build a "great camp" to be called Knollwood. Many summers were spent there.[64] According to James Glover,
- Since the Marshall family never owned a car, they would travel by rail ... to Saranac Lake Village. From there it was a mile and a half ride by rowboat across the lake, or a four-mile surrey ride around the lake.... The walls were decorated with an assortment of moose antlers, prize fish mounted on plaques, and the heavily antlered head of an elk... If the elk could have seen with its glass eyes, it ... never would have seen the water, for Louis Marshall would not allow any of the trees blocking the view to be cut."[65]
Upon Florence Lowenstein Marshall's death of cancer on May 27, 1916, at age 43, daughter Ruth became surrogate mother for her younger siblings.[66] Marshall found respite in nature:
- There was scarcely a day, in New York, when he did not walk through Central Park; and he treasured the periods he could spend at Knollwood. The silence of the forest paths brought a 'healing to the soul.' Feasting his eyes upon the hemlocks and the birches, often he felt as if his lost wife were at his side, and that made of Knollwood 'one of the sacred places of the earth.'[67]
In their father's footsteps
In adulthood, Marshall's children followed in his footsteps. The eldest, James, became a lawyer, joining his father's firm, later "starting his own". James rose to prominence in New York City, where he served on and was president of the city's Board of Education under Mayor Fiorello H. La Guardia.[68] He married Lenore Guinzburg, who became noted for her writing; together, they founded the New Hope Foundation "to foster world peace and understanding". Ruth married Jacob Billikopf "a Philadelphia labor arbitrator" 16 years her senior; like her mother, Ruth died young of cancer, at age 38.[69]
Drawing deeply from their childhood experiences in the Adirondacks, the younger boys, Bob and George, became noted conservationists. The sprawling Bob Marshall Wilderness, comprising over a million acres (4000 km²) of pristine wilderness straddling the continental divide in northwestern Montana, is named after Bob, who was director of the Forestry Division of the federal Bureau of Indian Affairs, head of the U.S. Forest Service Division of Recreation and Lands, and co-founder of The Wilderness Society. George was involved with The Wilderness Society "for more than 50 years", and served on the board of directors of the Sierra Club, as well.
End of life
Louis Marshall died on September 11, 1929, at age 72, while attending a Zionist conference in Zurich, Switzerland.[26] The occasion of his visit to Switzerland was perhaps deeply ironic, as Marshall was an avowed anti-Zionist. At the time of his death, he was president of the American Jewish Committee[70], however, and was attending the conference in that capacity.
True to the values and principles by which he led his life, in his last will and testament, he tithed ten percent of his personal net worth to the "Jewish Theological Seminary of America and to twelve other educational and charitable institutions".[71]
Marshall, his wife, and son Bob, are buried in the Salem Fields Cemetery, in Brooklyn, New York.
According to his son's biographer, in 1923 Louis Marshall was named the fourth "most outstanding Jew in the world" by a "Reader's poll by the Jewish Tribune ... None of the three men who topped him in the poll—Albert Einstein, Chaim Weizmann, and Israel Zangwill—were Americans".[72] In 1927, on the occasion of Marshall's 70th birthday, the accolade "Champion of Liberty" was bestowed upon him by US Supreme Court Justice Benjamin Cardozo: "He is a great lawyer; a great champion of ordered liberty; a great leader of his people; a great lover of mankind."[73] In his memorial essay on Marshall's life, Adler notes that Marshall "had received several honorary degrees: LL.D. from Syracuse University, and D.H.L. from the Hebrew Union College and from the Jewish Theological Seminary, and of these he was very appreciative."[74]According to Adler, in January 1930, as a tribute to Louis Marshall, New York Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt, "recommended an appropriation of $600,000 for a new building at Syracuse University to house the College of Forestry"; he recommended further that new building be named after Louis Marshall, "in memory of his splendid services to the State".[75]Three years later, February 23,1933, Louis Marshall Memorial Hall, the second building erected at the New York State College of Forestry at Syracuse University campus, was dedicated in Marshall's honor.[76] A full portrait of Louis Marshall hangs to this day in the college's Board Room, in Bray Hall.
On January 19, 2001, Marshall Hall was rededicated to Marshall and his son, Bob, by SUNY-ESF president, Dr. Cornelius Murphy. According to Murphy, "Louis Marshall is largely the reason that everyone from the college is here today. Louis Marshall was recruited by Chancellor Day in 1910 to make the concept of the 'forestry college' at Syracuse University a reality. Louis was tenacious, prodding both the Governor and the Legislature to take action. Louis Marshall... lobbied for the $250,000 appropriation to make a building a reality. I think that it is safe to say that Louis Marshall was our father, our first leader and our first forester. Today we rededicate this building to his memory and accomplishments." The rededication included unveiling matching bronze plaques honoring Marshall and his son, ESF alumnus Bob Marshall.[77]
Marshall Street, the anchor street of the business district immediately adjacent to Syracuse University, is named in his honor. Just off of that street is the indoor mini-mall known as Marshall Square, also named after him, as is elementary school P.S. 276, in Brooklyn, New York.
The Jewish Theological Seminary (JTS) hosts an annual, "Louis Marshall Award Dinner". The Louis B. Marshall Award is presented to individuals who demonstrate the exemplary ethics and philanthropic commitment embodied by Louis Marshall, an esteemed constitutional lawyer and former board chair of JTS. Founded in 1886 as a rabbinical school, The Jewish Theological Seminary today is the academic and spiritual center of Conservative Judaism worldwide, encompassing a world-class library and five schools.[78][79]

Why we use the Viable Systems Model
Initially at the kick off meeting of the EPT in Germany (August 2012) the group found great difficulty in deciding how it would work and move forward with delivering the stated outcomes of the Learning Partnership. Davie Philip from Cultivate Ireland suggested using the Viable Systems Model (VSM), as a way to structure the work of the partnership.
The study of ecosystems and the way muscles, organs and the nervous system of the human organism interact, were the inspiration for the Viable Systems Model, which was originally developed by the English management cyberneticist, Stafford Beer. The VSM is used as a tool for diagnosing problems in social organisations, and to help to improve their functioning.
As both the Irish and UK partners had been using VSM in their own organisations and were familiar with the model, and as the other partners were interested in learning and applying a new approach to structure an organisation, we decided to host a workshop exploring how we as a Partnership could adopt this model to structure our work.
How we implemented the VSM
In the workshop the first step was to ask: "What are the operations that do the things that justify the existence of the Partnership?" The partners identified its "Primary Activities" or what we need to DO from the project application to Europe and set up working groups to focus on these outcomes. People then gathered in the areas that they wanted to work in and discussed the work that would need to be done in each activity, including identifying their "5 top tasks".

Nodulated plants of Coriaria arborea and Hippophae rhamnoides, one year old and grown previously in a rooting medium essentially free of combined nitrogen, were grown for a further 2$\frac{1}{2}$ months in the presence in the rooting medium of 0, 10 or 25 mg nitrate-nitrogen per litre of culture solution. The nitrate was labelled with $^{15}$N. Plant growth was promoted by the supplied nitrogen, especially in Hippophae, but nodule growth and nitrogen fixation per plant were depressed, the latter, at the highest level of nitrate, being only 31% (in Coriaria) and 61% (in Hippophae) of the fixation in plants at zero nitrate level. Although the $^{15}$N penetrated (probably indirectly) into the nodules, in both species and at both levels of nitrate the enrichment shown by the nodule tissues as a whole was only about one-fifth of that shown by the rest of the plant. This finding would be explained if four-fifths of the nodule nitrogen was in the endophyte and was wholly unlabelled nitrogen fixed from the atmosphere, while the remaining one-fifth was in the uninfected cells and these were in equilibrium with the tissues of the rest of the plant and carried the same $^{15}$N label. The implications of this hypothesis are considered.

Sixteen million Americans have a speech or language disorder. Ten percent of children entering first grade have a moderate to severe speech disability. In adults, a speech-language disorder can inhibit professional advancement and cause social anxiety. In children it can result in the failure to thrive academically, emotionally and socially. At any age, speech-language disorders can isolate, embarrass and prevent a person from reaching his or her potential. Treatment offers a lifetime of improved communication and a better chance at a healthier, happier and more successful life.
The Center's Speech-Language Program includes screenings, diagnostic evaluations and therapy programs.
- Screenings determine whether a perceived speech-language problem
exists and requires further evaluation.
- Evaluations are in-depth examinations to identify the type and severity
of a child's speech-language problem; set goals for improvement and provide
information to help design an individualized program of therapy for the child.
All evaluators use standardized tests to provide accurate diagnostic information.
Evaluations last one to two hours. The therapist provides a written report and verbal
consultations if warranted.
- Therapy works to achieve goals set for individual improvement and age-appropriate skills. The number and frequency of therapy sessions varies greatly depending on the individual. During therapy, parents may observe their child to learn techniques to use at home or just to follow progress.
The Center's Speech-Language Program includes services performed on-site at the clinic and off-site at several local daycare centers, schools and health centers as well as in partneship with programs that serve adults with behavioral disabilites:
Affinia Healthcare Children's Centers
Agape Academy & Child Development Center
City Academy
Early Explorers Child Development Academy
Hilltop Child Development Center
Lemay Child & Family Center
Most Holy Trinity Catholic School & Academy

Speech-Language Development
Intelligibility of Speech-Articulation
Auditory Processing Disorder
Voice Disorders
Tongue Thrust

Language Disorders
If you think your child or someone you know has a speech-language disorder, call the Center for an evaluation.

The University of Wyoming women's golf team wrapped up its final round Saturday in Albuquerque in the Dick McGuire Invitational, finishing 15th in the team standings after three rounds of play.
The Cowgirls finished Saturday with its low round of the event with a team total of 309. With a three-round team total of 942, Wyoming tied with Indiana for 15th place. Oregon won the event with a total of 881.
"I'm pleased with our team effort today and the fact we improved 11 shots while moving up the leader board in such a competitive field," Wyoming coach Josey Stender said. "We finished well on a tough stretch of holes which says a lot about our perseverance."
The top finisher of the event was senior Molly Black, who shot 75(+2) on Saturday to end up with 228 over three rounds, which tied her for 36th place. Sophomore Dana Zamprelli wasn't far behind, shooting a 75(+2) in the third round for a total of 236, which tied her for 59th place.
Junior Juanita Rico tied for 65th with her total of 237 after shooting 81(+8) in the final round, and freshman Stacey Blunt shot 77(+4) to finish up the Invitational with 244, which tied her for 79th. Redshirt junior Jenna Zamprelli shot 84(+11) to end up with 253 over three rounds.
Sophomore Taylor Smalley, playing as an individual, shot 75(+2) to finish with 233 over three rounds, second-best among individual players. She placed 52nd in the event.
"Molly and Taylor both had a great event and I'm proud of their determination," Stender said.
After two events, Stender is growing more confident in her team's ability and grit, especially late in tournaments.
"We will expect to compete for the tournament title next week if we keep going in this positive direction," she said.
The Cowgirls will hit the course again Sept. 27-28 in the Portland State/Oregon State Invitational in Portland, Ore.

I took my daughter to home depot yesterday and got the parts and had her help me make this, Kids Wash! She and my son loved it! Played in it for hours yesterday afternoon (once the morning rain stopped!)

I'll be honest I would like one for recreational purposes.

Super Dad! <3
Jun 18, 2012 at 7:44 UTC
That seems kind of awesome!
Jun 18, 2012 at 7:46 UTC
This notion must be in the air or something.
Last week I had the idea to go to the hardware store and buy a big stack of PVC piping and connectors = Giant Tinker Toy set.
Yesterday I thought of doing this exact thing, taking certain pieces and drilling holes to make custom sprinkler toys with.
+1 for awesome idea!
Jun 18, 2012 at 7:57 UTC
I can't wait to build stuff like this with my boy :)
Jun 18, 2012 at 8:11 UTC
i wont lie, it was nice to walk through
Jun 18, 2012 at 8:24 UTC
Am I the only one who wants to see it running? Preferably with you (Patrick) running through it?
Mostly because I'd like to build one, and would want to show my wife before I go crazy at the hardware store :-)
Jun 18, 2012 at 8:37 UTC
I need one. That will make bath time soooo much easier.
Jun 18, 2012 at 8:43 UTC
Look like fun.
To get a spray, did you just drill holes in the PVC?
Jun 18, 2012 at 9:04 UTC
26$ at home depot for everything. i drilled holes with a 5/64 drill bit, used 3/4" pcv - took less than 15 minutes to build with only a few cuts (can be done with a hacksaw, pvc cutter or a miter saw like me since it was already setup in the garage).
Jun 18, 2012 at 9:06 UTC
i'll try to remember to get a picture of it on next time and post. the cool thing about the pvc is you can easily add to it. and dont waste your time using pcv glue, the pieces fit tight enough for this, and without being glued in, you have the option is take it apart whenever you want for storage, ect
Jun 18, 2012 at 9:27 UTC
Must have been a good weekend to play in water everywhere, I hooked up two sprinklers for my daughter to play in... I like you're idea much better!
Jun 18, 2012 at 9:34 UTC
It's gonna be 100 today (well, 99 but that's close enough for me) and I'm sure my daughter would just HATE playing with that in the backyard. I may have to make a side trip on the way home tonight :-)
Thanks for the idea!

Thanks for the idea!
we are going to up the ante this week (supposed to be 97 the next few days) and put the slip and slide at one end of it!
Jun 18, 2012 at 10:31 UTC
If you are going to do it, do it right.
Jun 18, 2012 at 10:38 UTC
I need one. That will make bath time soooo much easier.
It sure looks easier than using a rag on a stick doesn't it!! ;-)
Jun 18, 2012 at 11:31 UTC
I think I could use one of those around here today - we are supposed to hit 88 here today with about 80% humidity. For us folks in the Dakota's that is way too much heat!
Jun 18, 2012 at 4:09 UTC
That looks really cool. Now I just need to get some grass in the backyard and then the fun can begin.
Jun 18, 2012 at 5:01 UTC
Looks like fun!
Now make it two separate circuits. One with clean water, and one with a mild soapy mixture. Give them a pair of swim goggles and make sure they close their mouths before running through.

"Shinkan no Aria" (森閑のアリア)
Just when it seemed like this show was going to be as boring as the latest seasons of 'Supernatural', a giant Unknown appeared and made things interesting.
At least when it comes to the action, because the plot is still uninteresting and the characters still shallow.
The episode starts with a bit of minor fan-service. We are introduced to the breasts of Mahiru Okuni, a doctor from the Third Tokyo Hospital who prefers to show how large her cleavage is. We learn that some of the kids need to be moved inside the settlement because of their inadequacy to offer more in the frontlines. After all, we are reminded in the most cliché way that the children are our last hope and they must be protected. Except of those that are so powerful that they can kill hundreds of cute little Mews (the aliens do look like a Mew without a face).
Then we have another fan-service scene when Canaria changes her top and wonders where Icchan is. Well, Icchan is trying to do the writers' a favor and show us his sensitive side by visiting Uzurano-kun in the hospital and skipping the regular patrol. It's evident from the premise that Ichiya is trying to remedy his social awkwardness, but when it comes to dialogue and emotions it doesn't really come out that way.
The first half of the episode continues on the same lines: pointless conversations, childish rivalries, school-life problems.
'If I am able to win on my own, there'll be no… no problems", Ichiya Suzaku
The second half on the other side tried to give us something 'Qualidea Code' had long promised but up until now had failed to deliver: action.
The Mews, the unknown pink aliens, are using a huge weapon that seems impervious to normal attacks. During what started as a solo attack, Icchan is quickly joined by his teammates. The enemy is AT LAST not that easy to beat and Icchan tells Canaria to focus her defensive song on him. I was excited to see that there is a pink alien out there that won't be target practice for these kids. Up until now it seemed like war was like a video game for them. Every encounter was far too easy.
The odds turn in the aliens' favor in the end, and for the first time I am moderately looking forward to the next episode.
Aria: The title of the episode refers to something that happens near its end. I don't want to spoil it for you (not that it's hard to guess). An aria (diminutive form arietta) in music was originally any expressive melody performed by a singer.
Leviathan: The big bad-ass alien appearing in this episode is given the code Leviathan. The term is used in various mediums in Japanese culture, from videogames and tokusatsu series to books and manga. It usually is a sea monster and it was first referenced in the Tanakh, or the Old Testament. The word has become synonymous with any large sea monster.
The problem I have with 'Qualidea Code' is that I can't feel any kind of connection to its characters and for that I blame two things:
- the aliens are just supporting actors in a conflict I don't really care about
- the children's characters are formulaic and stiff
The higher ups seem to be unaffected by the behavior of the children, and when they engage in one of their usual quarrels in the briefing room they seem to disappear altogether. There was some attempt to build a little backstory on Icchan, but it was ruined by the poor acting, lack of insight, and the appearance of Canaria.
And the rating is…
I had high hopes for this anime. I really did. And I still have.
Even though it has yet to deliver any action worth mentioning, the appearance of more difficult enemies finds me hopeful.
Still, unless there is some change in the writing, I am not so hopeful for the plot and the characters.

Bernard Tomic says he wants "more than anything to win" and believes Roger Rasheed's scathing comments about his round-one French Open victory showed "how much education he has".
Rasheed urged Tomic to show more passion or quit the sport, saying the 23-year-old's languid style bored him and that he hadn't been impressed by the straight-sets win over American veteran Brian Baker.
"To be honest, I would beat Brian Baker. He has had that many injuries, he's ranked 600-and-something in the world," Rasheed said.
"He couldn't hit two balls on the court."
The comments reignited a dispute between Rasheed and the Tomic family dating back to 2009, when Bernard's father John said "Roger Rasheed is not a coach. He's a fitness conditioner".
"He took Lleyton Hewitt from No.2 in the world to No.60 and I think that Gael Monfils should be very careful because he could find himself struggling too pretty soon."
Bernard Tomic said this week's unprompted spray highlighted "why I never got along with Roger" and showed up a lack of knowledge in the former mentor of Lleyton Hewitt as well as unfulfilled talents Gael Monfils and Grigor Dimitrov.
"That just shows you how much he knows," Tomic said after his four-set defeat to Croatian teenager Borna Coric.
"You don't say that about someone – the guy has been to (the second) round (at the French Open), fourth round at Wimbledon, finals of Nice.
"You can't say that about that sort of player.
"He's beaten Gael on clay and a lot of good players.
"For (Rasheed) to say that comment, just shows you how much education he has."
Tomic fought through illness and dizziness in his two-hour-and-47-minute defeat to Coric on Thursday, and said he hoped the performance helped remove any doubts about his passion for the game.
"I was fighting. I wanted more than anything to win – it is one of the toughest grand slams to play in, condition-wise," Tomic said.
"If you don't have the passion to be out on these courts here there's no bother playing it.
"Today I was fighting as much as I can and I know I'm not that good on clay.
"I didn't grow up on this surface. I don't even know how to walk and slide, it's very confusing for me. I tried my best."
Tomic required medical assistance early in the third set, down 2-1, and complained of feeling "dizzy and unwell" to the match umpire.
But he rallied to force two tiebreakers, though he lost both – the second via a blown set point in the fourth which would've sent the match to a decider.
"I had a chance and I felt like it was all on my racquet to make it a fifth set and who knows, but it was pretty satisfying with the way I'm playing," Tomic said.
