Save Money with the (Refurbished) RWS 54 Air Rifle- .177 cal with 4X32 Scope
A totally recoilless, spring piston airgun seemed little more than a dream before the recent appearance of the Model 54. In order to realize this goal the engineers spent years experimenting with different systems until they created this mechanical marvel. Simple but durable, the 54 uses a floating action riding on rails to achieve a totally recoiless system that stands up to the pounding of our 1100 fps system. Not only does this arrangement prevent transmission of felt recoil to the shooter, it also permits the rifle to excel in the accuracy department. When the rifle is fired, the action moves back lightly within the stock, absorbing the recoil, and permitting the pellet to exit the barrel before any of the spring vibration affects its travel. This system dramatically improves the accuracy potential of this magnum air rifle, making it a first class choice for either long range pest control or the precise demands of field target shooting. This side lever cocking magnum rifle's other features include adjustable trigger, adjustable rear sight, scope rail, Monte Carlo stock with cheek piece and checkering, and an automatic safety.

It's Everything They Say It Is..............And Then Some!
September 19, 2016
First, I'd like to say that very often refurbished is the way to go! You get a product that many times is a product return because of buyer's remorse, or which the buyer hasn't the physical strength to manipulate the cocking mechanism. Very often, there isn't a single flaw in the product, but even so, you know that the product has been gone over by a professional technician and which is certified to function as good as any new gun that is sold. The price of a refurb is always less than a new product, so you get an immediate discount! If you are lucky to be able to combine low price with another sales incentive, as AGD often has, you will be even better off! Don't forget that AGD also offers a 30 day return policy, no questions asked, and how can you go wrong? For me, I was able to save plenty, and my refurb was "like new"! The RWS 54 Diana scope combo is a wonderful rifle, and of which I can find nothing that doesn't live up to all the other positives that others have already mentioned. You can use the combo scope, but I'm rather certain that you will want to upgrade your scope to a better quality scope that can be relied on to perform at all times, and not let you down when you least expect it. You can probably expect for scope failure for almost any scope that you will mount...except...for the Vortex Diamondback 3-12 X40 AO. It is very true that, although this gun is easy on the shooter, and is marketed as recoilless, it does have a very shocking (to the scope) recoil along a track inside the stock. This design will not allow most scopes to last very long before shaking themselves into trash. Remember that every scope will work for at least one shot! Get yourselfthe scope that I recommended, and mate it to this fine rifle, and you will have yourself a fine system that you will have difficulty parting with!
Pros:Tack driving accuracy, in all calibers, with the right pellet, at ranges up to and often beyond 50 yards; solid, beautiful and mechanically perfect; fine German engineering sought after by many and equaled by few; a gun to be proud of!
Cons:Severely limited scope choices due to high shock factor inherent to this model, even more so than to springers in general. Cheap scopes may function for a time, but most probably won't last long!

Final Report for 2016-2017 Land Trust Plan:
I would like to provide the community with a final report for our use of Land Trust funds each year. The Community Council works with me in developing a Land Trust plan each year. The plan consists of measurable goals the school creates and the financial elements needed to support completion of those goals. Last year, Churchill Jr. High School received $41,218 from Land Trust to accomplish our goals. We established three goals in our plan. The first goal was to improve the number of students testing in the Proficient and above range of the Reading Inventory by 5%. The second goal was to improve our math SAGE by 3%. Our final goal was to continue to bring new technologies into the school.
The money designated by Land Trust was used to pay for teachers (both through FTE and for extra periods) to offer Reading Lab classes and Math Lab classes. Once the four extra classes were paid for, most of the money had been used and we were unable to work on goal three during last school year. However, designating the money to allow us to offer lab classes did help us make improvements in reading and math.
When we look at the Reading Inventory (RI) scores, there are two ways to look at what the data is telling us. First, we look at the end of year scores and compare from year to year. We looked at the end of year data for the 2015-2016 and 2016-2017 school years. The seventh grades scored 71% both years, the eighth grade had a 72 in 15-16 and an 80 in 16-17. The ninth graders went from an 84 in 15-16 to an 83 in 16-17. The flaw at looking at the data this way is that it is not tracking students as much as it is tracking a grade level. The seventh graders in 2015-2016 were not the same seventh graders as in 2016-2017. To track students we need to compare the 15-16 seventh graders who scored 71 to the 2016-2017 eighth graders who scored an 80. That shows that those specific students improved 9 percent from one year to the next. The 2015-2016 eighth graders who scored a 72 scored 83 as ninth graders for an 11 percent improvement. When tracking students, the school made its goal of a 5% increase. Additionally, Churchill ended last school year with an 81% Proficient and above score, which was the highest score for a junior high school in Granite School District.
We did not meet the math goal of a 3% increase in SAGE. We did make improvement, however. In 2015-2016, our school SAGE score in math was 48. We improved that to 50 for the 2016-2017 school year. This is a goal we will continue to work on because we want all of our students to be proficient in math.
At the end of last year, we had $3,990 left over in our Land Trust budget. That money has been added to the allotted money we received for this school year. The Community Council has approved a plan for this year for spending that money, and I will provide updates of its use as the year goes on. One thing that we are getting ready for right now is the purchase of three new Chrome Book mobile labs. With the addition of these labs, we will have almost a lab per teacher to use in their classes. The students and teachers both are getting very good at utilizing the Chrome Books to help in the learning process.
Spirit Week:
Next week is Spirit Week! This is a fun week for the students to be involved in, but there are some reminders I'd like to give. The most important one is that even though students will be dressing up each day, they still need to meet the standards of the dress code. Please make sure costumes are appropriate for school. Students cannot wear masks at school. Also, please make sure that their costume will allow them to comfortably sit in a student desk in their classes.
Monday: Halloween Costume Day; Dance after school (3-4pm)
Tuesday: Disney Day
Wednesday: Superhero Day; Performing Arts Assembly (9:20-10:20am); G/T Pioneer Theater Play (leave school at 1:10); Performing Arts Concert (7pm)
Thursday: 80s Day
Friday: PJ Day
Sports Updates:
Congratulations to the girls' soccer team! They defeated Kearns Jr. 5-2 to win the District Championship. The boys finished their season with a well-played game against Hunter Jr. that they lost in overtime.
Basketball will be the next sport to get going. Intramurals will begin on November 7. We have coaches for both teams, but they have not had a chance to meet and work out a schedule yet, so we do not know when the boys and girls will have the gym for intramurals. As soon as we find that out, the information will be disseminated. I would also like to remind everyone that the district rules for athletics state that if a student wants to be considered for the competitive all start team after intramurals, they need to have attended at least 70% of the intramural days.
Reality Town:
Thank you to the small army of parent volunteers who came and helped with Reality Town this year. Reality Town is a great opportunity for the eighth graders to get an idea of what life costs. Students were assigned jobs and received a commiserate salary. They then had to go to different stations to get housing, food, cars, insurance, and other living expenses. They had to track their expenses in a checkbook and live within their means. The most frequent question I got this year was students asking where the booth was where they could get a second job.
I'd also like to recognize and thank Aubri Moench for coordinating Reality Town and the volunteers this year.
End of Quarter:
Thursday, October 26, is the last day of first quarter when students will be at school. Students received a new schedule for second quarter during seventh period. When they come to school on Monday, they will follow their new schedules. The first week of second quarter is also spirit week, so students will need to make sure that while they are enjoying Spirit Week, they are also paying attention and working in their classes as second quarter is getting up and going.
Halloween Dance:
We will be having our first school dance, so I want to clarify a few things. One of the things we couldn't anticipate as part of reconfiguration is some of the questions we would get about things. In the past week we have had both boys and girls come to the main office and ask if they have to have a date for the dance. The boys that came and asked were very nervous and concerned that they would have to ask girls to the dance. The girls that came and asked were excited to have the opportunity to ask boys to go. I also overheard a group of sixth grade girls talking at lunch about having to buy dresses and gowns for the dance. To clarify, while we call it a school dance, it is really a stomp. Students don't ask dates or buy dresses, they just come to the cafeteria after school with their friends and have fun. We always plan the Halloween Dance to take place during Spirit Week, so the kids will be dressed up based on whatever theme is scheduled for that Monday. The dance will go from 3pm-4pm. We will also get this information out to the kids to put their minds at ease.
I will continue to encourage everyone to follow us on Facebook. If you go to the school's website, schools.graniteschools.org/churchilljr/, and click on the Facebook icon in the upper right corner, you will be directed to our official page. Once on our Facebook page, you can click "Like". Facebook will be the number one source for getting immediate updates and information about what's happening at school.
Student Drop-Off:
Please use the student drop-off area on the west side of the school. The bus zone on the north end of the building and the east parking lot are not good drop off zones. With the construction on I-215, the bus has been getting to school at irregular times and we need to have the zone clear so it can pull in and drop off students. Using the east parking lot as a drop off blocks the faculty parking stalls and puts students at risk because many of them walk through that lot as they come to campus from the neighborhoods.
Class Fees:
Please check your accounts to make sure you have paid for class fees. First quarter is almost over and when students move into their second quarter classes, new class fees will be charged. We are planning on charging second quarter class fees on November 10.
With Mr. Murray's help, we have been evaluating our school website to make sure that we have the most up to date information for you there. We are also trying to clean things up and make things easier to find. If it has been a while since you have visited the site, please take a few minutes to visit and see the information that is available for you there. We asked all the teachers this year to include some bio information so you and your student can get to know them better. We also had the staff all have new pictures taken this year so you can recognize them when you are here at school.

How COLD-FX® works
COLD-FX® active ingredient CVT-E002®, helps reduce the frequency, severity and duration of cold and flu symptoms by boosting immune system [1] .
The Science behind COLD-FX®
Your immune system
COLD-FX® active ingredient CVT-E002®, helps reduce the frequency, severity and duration of cold and flu symptoms by boosting the immune system[1]. Our immune system protects us from any foreign organisms such as viruses, bacteria, and more. The immune system has two major parts:
1. Innate: The innate part of our immune system is the non-specific, first line of defense against infections. The innate immune response works within minutes to hours of infection.
2. Adaptive: The adaptive portion of our immune system is the "trained" part. When our body is exposed to a virus or bacteria, it remembers the encounter and develops specific cells and molecules that will rapidly fight off the same foreign agents when we encounter them again. This is also how vaccinations work.
- How does COLD-FX® boosts your immune system?
CVT-E002®, the active ingredient in COLD-FX®, has been demonstrated in clinical studies to increase the proportion of natural killer cells and T-helper cells.[5]These cells play an important role in both the innate and adaptive immune response.
Natural killer (NK) cells play a major role in the innate immune response. These cells identify host cells that have been infected by a foreign organism (virus, bacteria, etc.) and attempt to destroy them. For example, when a cell is infected by a flu virus, NK cells will recognize the cell that has been compromised and initiate the destruction of this "rogue" cell.
T-helper cells (T-cells) are one of the most important cells in the adaptive immune response. These cells are crucial in achieving a regulated and effective immune response to foreign organisms or infected host cells.
COLD-FX® has been evaluated in clinical studies in which participants have taken 400 mg daily for periods ranging from eight weeks[6] up to six months[2],[3].
This however, does not mean COLD-FX® needs to be taken for eight weeks to six months to experience benefits.
For instance, a study with professional hockey players showed that taking COLD-FX® (400 mg/day) for 30 days enhanced immune response of peripheral blood lymphocytes (cells of our immune system, which include T-cells, Natural Killer (NK) cells and B-cells) to influenza viruses, indicating an immune boosting effect as early as 30 days[4].

A man was injured this morning when an 18-wheeler rammed into the back of his car on the Athens Perimeter near the Oconee Street exit, Athens-Clarke police said.
The man's Volvo was traveling southbound at about 7:45 a.m. when struck from behind as the car approached the exit ramp, according to police.
The Volvo had stalled on the highway's bridge where it crosses over Oconee Street, but he got it restarted and was driving very slowly in the right lane to try to exit the perimeter when the truck collided with the car, police said.
The Georgia State Patrol is investigating the wreck, but Lt. Don Eckert of the Athens-Clarke police Traffic Unit said the Volvo's driver was conscious and talking before he was taken by ambulance to Athens Regional Medical Center.
The truck driver was not injured, and Eckert didn't know if he was cited by a patrol trooper.

Kayrock Screenprinting is proud to present Abstract Mechanical Realities, featuring work by Justin Amrhein and Monica Wynn. This collection includes conceptual diagrams created through installation, video, drawing and screenprinting.
Justin Amrhein is intrigued by discovering the components necessary to create a fully functional machine. Investigating the dynamics between combining the mechanical with the biological is a recurring concept throughout Amrhein's work. In the form of schematic drawings, he defines the function and purpose of created elements that border between real objects and imaginary creations.
QoHstudio, Monica Wynn's conceptual project space, uses 2D and 3D mediums to enact systems of tension in order to consider contemporary social conditions. The studio acts a reliquary for the future by proposing contemporary methods for cultural representation and documentation. Drawing upon visualizations of quantum mechanics and the relationships between spacetime and matter, themes such as distortion, power, amplitude, displacement, and capitalism, depict the individual and the collective in direct relationship to one another to create abstract scenes of violence.
Abstract Mechanical Realities showcases systematic diagrams which explore functionality, disfunctionality, reality, and imagination.

Hi! Just joined the board and thought I would post one of my favorite cross-stitches yet. I started out just doing Santa-themed cross-stitch pieces for my mother-in-law but found I really, really loved needlework and am hoping to branch out into other types of needlework.
Anyway, I introduce to you:
The Wil Wheaton Clown Sweater Cross-stitch
I don't really know for sure exactly how this came up. I started looking at geeky crafts then somehow latched onto the idea of doing a pixelated project. Diesel Sweeties (a webcomic) did an avatar of Wil Wheaton wearing the infamous clown sweater, which is one of my most favorite graphics ever. I ran it through PC Stitch, cleaned it up a bit and went at it. It's nothing fancy and took about four or five days, stitching a few hours at a time.
I posted it on my blog (http://www.steenface.com/?p=1427) and Rich Stevens, who runs Diesel Sweeties, must have seen the link to his site. He Twittered it, then Wil Wheaton Twittered it and my blog traffic went crazy. It was bizarre but really awesome.
Anyway, I'm thinking my next project will be video-game related... but I'm quickly getting sidetracked by all the awesome things I'm seeing on here!!

Artist: Claude Monet (French, Paris 1840–1926 Giverny)
Date: 1894
Medium: Oil on canvas
Dimensions: 39 1/4 x 25 7/8 in. (99.7 x 65.7 cm)
Classification: Paintings
Credit Line: Theodore M. Davis Collection, Bequest of Theodore M. Davis, 1915
Accession Number: 30.95.250
Monet painted more than thirty views of Rouen Cathedral in 1892–93. Moving from one canvas to another as each day progressed, he painted the facade with highly textured brushstrokes that convey the aspect of sculpted stone and make the atmosphere and light palpable. Monet later finished the works in his studio at Giverny, carefully adjusting the pictures both independently and in relation to each other. Hence, most are signed and dated 1894, as is this example. In 1895, Monet exhibited twenty of his cathedral pictures at Galerie Durand-Ruel in Paris. This one was titled Le Portail (Soleil), or The Portal (Sunlight).

Speak Up For Horses has been a driving force for helping the many horses in the community. The people in the organization devote many hours to helping the horses that others have forgotten about. Without these people many horses would have no hope of finding loving homes. I have personally seen the people in Speak Up For Horses work with animals that some thought were unable to rehabilitate and through hard, dedicated work brought the animals to a point where they were able to be placed in loving homes.

Unusual handbags
Would you like to have something different to wear on special occasions? Would you like to know about firms that have unusual handbags of luxury design? Then you cannot miss the unique concept that defines Onesixone and the handbags they sell which are inspired by the golden ratio. Talent, effort, and the excellence of artisan manufacturing are also key in order to get the iconic models they have which not only meet all the expectations but also break away thanks to an ambitious artistic component.
Unusual handbags that are taken care of in every detail
We can confirm that Onesixone creates unique handbags. Our idea was to use clean, elegant, and balanced models as a base so that different artists could get creative and show their aesthetic interpretation of our philosophy. Thus, every six months we invite an artist with a special creative and contemporary vision to produce his/her own design for our handbags. Our collections are composed of 161 units only.
Our handbags are something more than just expensive handbags, they are something exclusive thanks to the commitment and care we provide to every single handmade unit. Our designs are universal and they are inspired by the golden ratio classic rules. However, their origins are Spanish, something that is obvious because of the manufacturing's quality: leather made by artisans from Ubrique, an Andalusian town full of leather manufacturing history. Also, our attention to detail has helped us to achieve excellence and to present to our public distinguished proposals thus making us an emerging international ladies handbags brand.

An insect bite rash can be bothersome and often painful. Knowing what to do if you develop a rash from an insect bite will not only ease your symptoms, but your peace of mind as well.
A rash is an area of inflamed or irritated skin. Rashes can come from various causes, including insect bites. Often times an insect bite rash can mimic other conditions and can be confused with things such as scabies, fungal infections or even allergies.
Different insect bites cause rashes. The following are some common rashes caused from an insect bite:
- Bed bug bite rash begins with itching about an hour after the person has been bitten. For some people it may not appear for days or a week depending on the body's reaction to the bed bug saliva. The rash starts with single, small, red, inflamed, round bumps. Bed bug rash, when it first becomes visible, may just be a single, swollen bump before it spreads. The rash spreading means that the person is still being bitten by bed bugs. A bed bug rash may also look like inline bite marks. The rash may stay swollen for weeks until it clears.
- Mosquito bite rash is a more severe reaction to a bite and occurs less often. The rash may look like blisters or bruises and have a large area of swelling at the site of the mosquito bites.
- Chigger bite rash is found around the waist, ankles or in warm skin folds. It begins to itch several hours after the chiggers attach. The rash may only be present on areas of the skin that have been exposed to the sun and may also stop where the underwear meets the legs.
- Flea bite rash is caused by an allergic reaction to the flea's saliva. The rash looks inflamed and has clusters of bites in it. It can be itchy for several weeks.
- Tick bite rash is a flat, round patch that may increase in size over a few days. The rash looks like a bull's-eye. It can develop one to four weeks after a tick bite. One cause of a rash from a tick bite is Lyme disease. If you suspect that you were bitten by a tick and develop a rash, seek medical attention to rule out Lyme disease, an infection that can lead to serious illness.
Rash Treatment
A rash can be itchy and sometimes painful. It most likely will clear up on its own in a few days. It can also be red and swollen. To relieve symptoms, try the following:
- Hold ice or cool compresses on the rash area.
- A topical anti-itch ointment, such as Calamine lotion, can ease itching.
- Try not to scratch the rash, it will only irritate it more and cause more itching or pain.
- Home remedies such as a baking soda paste or a solution of meat tenderizer and water can help ease pain and itching.
When to Seek Medical Attention
Usually an insect bite rash is localized. If the rash develops to a general body rash, it is best to see a physician to evaluate the rash. Signs that the rash is infected are:
- Headache
- Nausea
- Fever
- Aches
- Shortness of Breath
If you experience any of these symptoms, seek medical attention.

Even with the quick information access provided by the feed, the vocabularies of characters present in the novel are minimal, though full of futuristic slang. Anderson's use of language mirrors the slang of today's "youth culture," and familiarizes the reader with the likeness between the characters' mode of communicating and present state of communication of the reader.[6] The degradation of language and heavy use of slang is not only a matter of youth, but also present in the speech of Titus's parents. The novel offers comment on the language use of adults and proves, through examination of Titus's parents, that the adults possess an immature world view.[7]
Throughout the novel, Anderson emphasizes his created slang and adolescent vocabulary specific to the society in Feed.[6] This extreme emphasis on the nature of the teens' language use corresponds with the theme of the dangers of overpowering consumerism. Even the word choice that characterizes the slang used in the novel carries undertones of advertisements, purchases, and corporation power.[3]Glossary of terminology from Feed
- banquet: when preceded by a noun referring to an idea or feeling, used particularly to express an abundance of that idea or feeling. For example: a shame banquet, dump banquet, or guilt banquet.
- big: (as an adverb) "very" or "very much"; (as an adjective) "fun."
- bonesprocket: a killjoy.
- boyf and girlf: literally, "boyfriend" and "girlfriend."
- brag: awesome, amazing, or "cool."
- chat: see m-chatting (a sub-bullet under feed).
- Clouds™: clouds (apparently now owned or produced entirely by corporations).
- conceptionarium: a place where children are designed and developed (outside of women's bodies) from embryos into babies.
- da da da: analogous to "blah blah blah."
feed: a device implanted in the brains of most individuals (at least in the United States)—which is fused with their biological functions—instantly giving them the ability to mentally access and share vast knowledge bases and personal psychological experiences with others who also have feeds
- banner: any audio-visual advertisement experienced in the mind of a person with a feed. They may even appear during sleep while the individual is dreaming.
- feednet: the system of interconnected networks accessed by a person's feed.
- m-chatting or, simply, chatting: a feature of the feed that allows users to send other users complex linguistic thoughts and feelings in one's mind alone; thus, a form of completely non-behavioral and nonverbal communication. (Throughout the book, m-chatting is represented using italics, as opposed to verbal dialogue which uses quotation marks.)
- malfunction: a state in which one's feed is temporarily destabilized, causing disorienting feelings and a euphoric high (similar to being intoxicated).[4] For a psychological thrill or recreational reasons, many people with a feed voluntarily go to sites that induce malfunction. To malfunction is also known throughout the novel by many other slang terms, usually to be/go in mal, but also the following: to be raked, to be jazzed, to fugue, going fugue, getting scrambled, and doing the quivers
- freestyle: used as a noun or adverb to refer to "natural childbirth," or childbirth that does not involve the use of assisted reproductive technology. This type of childbirth is nearly non-existent in the novel's setting.
- junktube: a household tube that transports waste to an incinerator; an invention that has apparently succeeded the waste container.
- limp: "uncool" or unexciting.
- meg: an all-purpose intensifier meaning (as an adverb) "very" and (as an adjective) "awesome/amazing" or "huge/substantial."[6] Presumably an adaptation of the real-world English slang term mega.
- "No wrong": a figure of speech meaning "Don't worry" or "No worries."
- null: boring, bored, or uninterested.[6]
- prong: erection.
- "re: (someone or something)": literally, "about (someone or something)." For example, "Is this re: Violet?" means "Is this about Violet?"
- School™: the educational institution that has replaced state schooling; now privatized by corporations that teach students how to be better consumers using mostly holographic teachers.
- skeeze: used as a noun or verb to mean "flirt."
- skip: (adjective) happy, pleased, or satisfied.
- the spit: (often, the big spit): a popular fashion or trend.
- squeam: squeamish.
- squelch: (adjective) sullied, messy or dirty; (verb) to sully something or to get something dirty.
- to be with: (intransitive verb) to be ready and willing to participate.
- to do (something) slalom: to weave between obstacles in a zigzag pattern.
- unit: a word used as a friendly, slang title to address individual persons, the way teens in real life might address their friends as "[dude]]," "man," "guy," or "girl," or as an interjection also the way real-life teens use the word "dude." An occasional female variation is unette. (Refers to the corporation perspective of the population as mere pawns in their capitalist agenda.)[3]
- upcar: a car that flies, especially using tubes (rather than roads) and having an autopilot feature. The original vehicle known as the car is referred to in the novel by the retronym downcar.
- "What's doing?": a phrase meaning "What's happening?" both literally and as an idiomatic colloquialism or greeting.
- youch: physically attractive: i.e. "hot" or "sexy."
- ?: the question mark has much broader usage as a punctuation mark in the writing of the novel's fictional universe than in ours. In addition to a question, the symbol "?" represents a speaker's tone when the speaker is wondering whether the listener is comprehending, or when the speaker is expressing rhetorical disbelief, a doubt, or a guess.
Anderson depicts the failing futuristic society as an outcome of constant consumerist influence through his character dialogue, thought, and description of their surrounding environment. His comment on the disintegration of the natural environment aligns with the disposable representation of consumerist desire.[3] The environmental state is presented as the fault of consumerism, as it leads to the character's lack of political awareness. Anderson shows the characters' complete obliviousness to the dangers of trademarked clouds, meat walls, and toxic oceans, as a result of their feed. The deteriorating environment exemplifies the characters dependence on consumerism for their sense of identity.[7]
As the novel progresses, the illusion of consumer gratification is represented directly through the girls' near hourly trips to the bathroom to keep with the hair style and fashion trends.[7] The girls' identity is absent without their ability to adhere to trends and current styles, furthering Anderson's point of dehumanization through a consumerist society.[8] Also highlighted is Anderson's display of a nagging presence of advertisements and propaganda, endlessly directing the characters towards their next purchase.
Titus and his friends receive consumerist influence from constant ad flows through their feeds as well as their buyer's education from School™.[7] The feed itself is considered a tool for education, but it is controlled by major corporations with the intent of creating consumer profiles. In this sense, it is simply another outlet for the consumerist narrative of the novel. Most evident of the feed's anti-education objective is Titus's apparent lack of skills in reading and writing, and his sparse vocabulary.[8] This reinforces the idea that critical thinking is not a necessity in the interest of the corporations.[8]
Author represents the concept of authority through the feed's ads and through influence of Titus's friends. Where Violet combats the pressures from friends, Titus's character is presented as unwilling to veer from the decided "norm." Anderson describes Titus as apathetic in regards to the feed's commands because he sees no point in fighting the feed's powerful force. The feed knows and decides everything for Titus, so his rebellion is minimal. In conjunction with abiding by the feed, Titus also gives into the demands of his friends. More than he is concerned with independent thought, Titus wants to be "cool" and live within the norms his friends and society have formed.

text: The fin-de-siècle periodroughly the years 1880 to 1900was characterized by great cultural and political ambivalence, an anxiety for things lost, and a longing for the new. It also included an outpouring of intellectual responses to the conflicting times from such eminent writers as T. H. Huxley, Emma Goldman, William James, H. G. Wells, George Bernard Shaw, and Oscar Wilde. In this important anthology, Ledger and Luckhurst make available to students, scholars, and general readers a large body of non-literary texts which richly configure the variegated cultural history of the fin-de-siècle years. That history is here shown to inaugurate many enduring critical and cultural concerns, with sections on Degeneration, Outcast London, The Metropolis, The New Woman, Literary Debates, The New Imperialism, Socialism, Anarchism, Scientific Naturalism, Psychology, Psychical Research, Sexology, Anthropology, and Racial Science. Each section begins with an Introduction and closes with Editorial Notes that carefully situate individual texts within a wider cultural landscape.

I think the moment someone becomes Meta, they become a new version of themselves from the real world 'piece' versions. It just happens that Battler and co. were dead in the real world before the tea party, but it doesn't mean they had to be. Regardless, the moment Ange became Meta-Ange, she was no longer connected to 1998 Ange. If you believe that she became Meta-Ange after the skyscraper scene, then she shouldn't have any of the memories of 1998 Ange (aside from, obviously, the flashbacks, since they happened before the skyscraper incident). If anyone who died went to the Meta-World then I think we'd be seeing not only all our 18 people running around, but multiple versions of them from every arc. Besides, the Meta-World is Purgatory. Most religions hold that when you die, you go to the afterlife, usually some variation of Heaven or Hell. Battler is stuck in Purgatory because he can't move on until he beats Beatrice in this game, IMO. But I don't think Ange had to be dead for Bern to pull her there, she just had to somehow create a Meta version of her which was at that moment severed from 1998 Ange and the two became separate existences. Kind of like

"If you believe that she became Meta-Ange after the skyscraper scene, then she shouldn't have any of the memories of 1998 Ange (aside from, obviously, the flashbacks, since they happened before the skyscraper incident)."
Obviously she'd have all the memories 1998 Ange had before she was about to kill herself. I'm talking about everything that happens to 1998 Ange after meeting with Bern. She should no longer have access to the memories of what the real world Ange does after that point, since they're separate beings after that. It'd be stupid to think that 1998 Ange's experiences after her meeting with Bern would magically beam into Meta-Ange's head. That's what I meant, sorry about the confusion.
Also, @ tastythoughts, this is an Anime thread and this season won't cover EP5, so you should probably delete your post and ask such questions in the EP5 game thread instead.

You're completely missing the point of my post, then. I agree that via your theory (Meta-Ange being Ange after death), she would of course have all the memories 1998 Ange had before she died. My theory was that Meta-Ange is not necessarily 'Ange after she dies', because the assumption that the only people allowed in the Meta-World are those who have died is unfounded. My belief is that Bern took skyscraper Ange and created a Meta-Ange out of her somehow, and so naturally that Meta-Ange would now be a separate entity from the original 1998 Ange (see my Higurashi spoiler). Obviously, by my theory, she wouldn't be able to magically have the experiences 1998 Ange has after the skyscraper scene, because those things happen after she was 'born' and thus Meta-Ange did not share those experiences.
That's my take on it. Of course, by your theory, then Meta-Ange would have all the same memories of 1998 Ange, which would include her journey to Rokkenjima. My theory is exploring a different angle. Of course neither of us are wrong or right (at least until Ryukishi says so), it's just different interpretations of the situation.
Though by your theory, I do have a problem with the idea that Meta-Ange could be Ange having died at any time, including of old age. If Meta-Ange is 'Ange after she died', then she died at age 18 in 1998, period. If 1998 Ange went on to live until old age, then Meta-Ange would have to be that same old hag, wouldn't she? After all it's not like she takes on the form of Battler's memories, or it'd be the 6-year old Ange he knew. If she died of old age and then went to the Meta-World, or even if she died at age 30 or 40, she'd have to look that age in the Meta-World according to what we've seen. I think it'd be pretty silly for an adult Ange who died at age 35 or something to look like 18-year old Ange in the Meta-World, just because age 18 is when she met Bern. I think your theory is only acceptable if something happens to cause Ange's death in 1998, as she is now.

I guess I am back with my Questions:
1- Are the siblings (Eva, Rudolf and Rosa) live in the same city or not? From what I saw in the series, they seemed like they met at a certain point and then boarded a ship to the island. But did they live near to each other or not?

1) I think it is stated somewhere that Rudolf and his family/ies live in Tokyo. You can assume that Rosa also lives there because she goes to Ginza to do shopping.
I can't remember any clue about Hideyoshi and Eva.
Mind however that even if two people live in Tokyo that doesn't mean they live close. Tokyo is a huge city.
2) We have never seen it during the various games, however she's got that purse, who knows, maybe it's there.

I think the diary is a constant factor as long as the diary/grimoire are the same thing, as normally maria uses it to explain the magical circles.
About the joining in a city,IIRc the route to rokkenjima is irst travel by plane to a specific island/town (niijima?), then here they board the boat to rokkenjima.

The Anime also cut the scenes before the boat arrives in Rokkenjima, where the family members (aside from Krauss', obviously) all met at the airport and took a small plane to Niijima. From there, they met Jessica and Kumasawa who came to greet them at the harbor, and then they took the boat from there to Rokkenjima. Based on what we see in the beginning of EP4 (which was also in the Anime at the beginning of episode 19) they probably all took cabs to the airport or something and met there, but as Jan-Poo said, Tokyo is a huge city and that doesn't mean they live close to each other.
I'm guessing based on the airport/boat scenes in the beginning of the VN's though that they probably don't see each other very often, probably just at the annual conference or possibly very rarely once or twice more during the year. I remember at one point Kyrie and Rosa say they should get together more often because as mothers of young daughters they have a lot they could talk about, though. It wouldn't surprise me if they didn't see each other more than once a year, though; I pretty much only see my dad's side of the family (well, his siblings; I see my grandparents every so often) at Christmas, and I know he and his siblings aren't very close, whereas I see my mom's side of the family so often that we may as well all live together in the same house. Kinzo's family doesn't really seem to be a close and happy family, though, so I'm guessing it's more the former.
There's always the telephone to keep in touch, though.

I wouldn't be surprised if she brought other "friends" with her. Actually I am fairly sure she did.

Regarding Rudolph it is a question of how far they moved away from the Sumaderas, because I think it was mentioned once that they stationed in the Kyoto area...or at least implied.
Eva's home is never really been a point of discussion I think, but I assume she also lives in a similar area as Rosa. Another hint at them being rooted in a similar region is, that they have similar ideas about certain distances and geographical similarities if it comes to the epitaph.
Also I think Hideyoshi is always implied to be the 'funny uncle from Kansai' so I think the family is rather heavily rooted in the Kantou area.
2- I think here we can assume that her diary also held the magic circle information that she used in previous arcs to decipher what the individual circles meant.
As her diary also holds the contract to the Mariage Sorciere I think we can safely say that it was used as both a diary and a grimoire. Another thing to uphold that theory would be the fact (if we look at it from a anti-fantasy stance) that Ange had a rather elaborate idea about the appearance of the magical beings and the working of magic, so I assume all that stuff was also described in Maria's diary.
If that book was indeed her diary there remain 2 questions.
How did it find it's way to Ange and how got it off the island in the first place...yet of course we only know that she had it in a post-Episode 3 world, so who knows, maybe Eva brought it with her.

This is a fortnightly series of articles focusing on the banking and financial industries
The crucial first step for any relationship manager is to develop a clear understanding of a client's needs as a prelude to assessing which investment products will best match their income and financial aspirations.
This is the core concept up held by every Treasures relationship manager working for DBS Bank (Hong Kong) Limited. They provide specialist assistance for customers with an account balance of no less than HK$500,000, but all the wealth management advice they offer must be personalised, whether it concerns unit trusts, overseas investments, foreign exchange or insurance products.
"That makes it a rewarding career with great potential for growth," says Thenis Kwok, DBS's assistant vice president and Treasures relationship manager, who has been with the bank for more than seven years since graduation. "The job is not simply measured by money, since part of the reward is in meeting customers' investment needs and making sure they are satisfied." She adds that, to succeed in the role, people should be outgoing, attentive and quick to respond to any enquiries. They should also take a proactive approach to fulfilling client's financial needs and fully understand the available range of investment products.
"I deal with people from many different backgrounds and have found that building trust depends on listening, communicating well and being able to offer specialist investment advice," Ms Kwok says. She believes the most challenging aspect of the job is to expand her client network, but does this by first establishing friendly contacts.
DBS currently has over 200 Treasures relationship managers in Hong Kong and looks for recruits with three years' consumer banking experience and a proven track record in selling wealth management products and services.
"Approaches to new clients will not always succeed, so it is very important to have a naturally positive outlook," Ms Kwok says. "You have to see each client as different and find the right investment products to suit them."
To make this possible, DBS offers a variety of staff training programmes. "Customers expect to be kept completely informed even of financial developments around the world, so we have a database to provide staff with all the latest news," Ms Kwok says. Team members are also encouraged to exchange business ideas and learn from each other. This is seen as just one way of adding value and developing a global perspective about investment products and financial markets. DBS also organises regular seminars to teach staff about specialist topics in a more formal environment.
In order to be qualified to sell investment products in the banking sector, people need to pass the Insurance Intermediaries Qualifying Examination (IIQE) and become a registered Technical Representative and a Relevant Individual.
Those who start from scratch usually begin as a financial planning executive. With around two years' work experience, they may move up to become a financial planning officer and, subsequently, a manager. Treasures relationship managers generally have at least four to five years of continuous work experience and an excellent record.

Always get a check password error on both phones. Used same procedure with MSL on Hero before 2.1 update, but not since. Used it to change cycle slot index to receive calls faster on my old Hero, went from 2.5-3.5 rings to 2 rings with a change to just 1 (default is 2, lowest is 0.) My EVO seems to be ringing on 1.5-2 rings, not too bad, but if it can get better I want to try it. Anyone else unable to access EPST with their MSL #? Anyone else able to with a different method? Both Best Buy and Sprint customer service have given me the same MSL #, and both have confirmed it is not the other 1 time use password (I forget that acronym) Have also tried aLogcat to verify MSL, it does not show in my logs.

Sage and juniper springs up to your senses and tells you that this is the real Northern California experience and that you are welcome here. If you are looking for a true rural experience, a tract in this area can never be wrong."
The property offers very easy and convenient access. You can fly into Reno, Nevada, and from there, you can simply drive to Ravendale.

County Road 305 which is very nice and county maintained, runs just to the West. Also, a road runs on the property border on the East boundary of the property. The property has an overall excellent road frontage."

"Chaos from start to finish"
About: Southampton General Hospital Southampton General Hospital Southampton SO16 6YD
Posted via NHS Choices
My confidence eroded rapidly from the minute I arrived in the chaotic car park to the time I left the hospital - not having had the nerve root block injection for which I went.
My overall impression of the Neurological Centre was one of seediness, untidiness and disorganisation.
Signage was extremely bad both in and outside the hospital and staff of any kind were few and far between.
It was only after making my own enquiries that I discovered my treatment would be delayed by at least an hour and since, as the afternoon had progressed, I had felt my remaining confidence swiftly ebbing away, it was at this point I became finally bereft of its last shred. In the face of such dilapidated, under-staffed and chaotic conditions, I was unwilling to allow my treatment to take place and informed a nurse that I was leaving. Since I did not feel it appropriate to air the full extent of my grievances at that time, I made the excuse that I was unable to wait for the hour-long delay.
This has left me in a very difficult position as this hospital is the only one in my area with a neuro unit and I have no wish to return there although I am still very much in need of relief from chronic pain.
