* The manga contains at least one reference to the film Shaun of the Dead on the first page of Chapter 3, in which a gas station attendant bearing an uncanny resemblance to the protagonist, Shaun, where the only difference is that saimon has more facial hair, is shown with a blank stare, along with his signature cricket bat beside him.
* In Chapter 3, "Democracy Under the Dead", when Komuro and Miyamoto split up of the rest of the team (due to a fire between them), and agreeing to meet each other at the police station, is a reference to Resident Evil 2 when the game's main characters Leon and Claire are separated by a fire after leaving the crushed police car, and swearing that they will meet each other at a police station.
* One of the main characters, Kohta Hirano, bears similarity to the creator of the Hellsing manga series, Kouta Hirano.
* Several locations that are generally seen in the zombie genre are visited throughout the later chapters, including a mall similar to the one seen in Dawn of the Dead.
* "28 Years Later" is seen on a shirt, a reference to the 28 Days Later film series.
* Several real life American government officials are portrayed in the manga. In Act 8, a zombie that looks similar to Condoleezza Rice is shot in the head when she attempts to attack two Secret Service members on Air Force One, and the president, who greatly resembles George W. Bush is bitten in the hand when he talks to the Speaker of the House in a flashback.
* In Chapter 22, "Dead Rush", the gun store shown on page 16 looks remarkably similar to the gun store that the film character Andy is stranded in across the mall parking lot in the remake version of Dawn of the Dead. It also contains fundamental portions from said film.
So as you can see, many ideas are from famous movies like 28 days later and Dawn of the dead, plus Resident evil.
But still thats what makes it so great.

they will either finish the series off with this arc or do another arc to finish the series. all depending on how may series the anime is contracted for. because they usually dont make a anime series based on manga that either isnt finished or going to be finished.

Maybe they're going to end it soon because they ran out of ideas? The authors can end it just to put it aside and get it over with, then again that's a little selfish on their part and hopefully they wouldn't.
I'm hoping it'll last at least 50 more chapters or so. It's way too early to end it in just 2 chapters and there can be so much done in this manga. It's essentially another genre of it's own, like One Piece using a theme of pirates, Naruto for ninjas and etc. This one can be twisted in many ways so the plot is bound to be able to spread out nicely; IF done correctly. I'm guessing it's the first time anyone has done a zombie outbreak manga so starting with this one, they can add all kinds of ideas from the movies or games.

Berserk, Claymore, Rosario to Vampire, Negima, Sekirei, almost any animated manga from WSJ etc. There are a lots of manga series still in serialization when anime based on those manga was aired. As a rule anime increases interest in manga - so ending manga when anime is aired is not smart .
As of ideas - they just need to watch a few zombie movies to gain new ideas, not to mention they always could use interactions between characters to create plot and there are a few lose lines - like what happened with parents of protagonists, sensei friend/lover working as AT member on airport and main question - what is happening? Without even looking for new ideas authors have material for a 3 or 4 arcs.

Depending on how complex they want to make the outbreak is really the determining factor of long and complex they want to he plot to be; all other plot developments come out of the Zombies so of course its going to be hard to move the plot without finding out where "them" came from. The relationship structure as well screams long term development. Tansnhi has Saya, Rei and Senepi and eventually he will have to not necessarily choose; I don't know if they will go that route. But they will have to work out what's going on with that little development. Also we still have to get all the characters together, like the sniper chick?, so they have alot of stuff to work with. I also seriously doubt they are out of ideas; the serious developments are all about survival; just get more stuff that threatens their survival.

If they want to make it complex and more series, they are going to have to most likely escape Japan. That nation is too dense to stay. They will need to find a much larger population of people in an isolated area, such as islands further south in the pacific, or barren places in Russia.
Unless they find more people, bottle necking will occur in the gene pool. So several generations later, they all might have a disease of some sort that can wipe out the entire group.

After running through the few chapters available, I can say it's been lots of fun so far; the first few chapters did a good job delivering the doomsday feeling, especially Takashi's narrative panels at the end of each chapter, and following up the author managed to light up the mood in such a serious situation. The mall arc was a good beginning, but it's actually from here on that the manga's worth is going to show...there's tons of possible scenarios, or even a combination of some, looking forward to the next chapter...whenever that may be

I hope they take the fight to the zombies at some point, people just running away from zombies gets old, one of the things I liked most about World War Z was the fact that they weren´t content to just find some place safe and ride out the storm.

Well if you look at it objectively: There is a small group of survivors and a much bigger number of zombies. It would be suicidal to engage them in battle.
However it's not like they would manage to sneak around the zombies without being noticed everytime

The students can't read as well as they should: It's the schools' fault.
Our kids aren't as proficient in mathematics as they should be: The teacher isn't doing his job.
My child can't write very well: It's all because of Ms. So-and-So's lack of teaching my child properly.
I've heard these types of things for years.
In fact, when No Child Left Behind was passed, I was in the infancy of my own teaching career. I do remember it being something that people were excited about—just like any other promise made by politicians. For example, when George Bush Sr. announced, "Read my lips, no new taxes," the crowds went wild.
Could he make good on his promise?
I think we all know the answer to that.
Being an educator, I saw NCLB going into effect through different eyes than the cheering crowds at the pronouncement of George W. Bush that—in a nutshell—all American schoolchildren would be proficient in both reading and math by the year 2014.
The other day I saw an article to which I haven't been able to relocate. In it the author asked a few questions such as: Do we expect police officers to end all crime by a certain date? For firefighters to stop all fires? For doctors to end all illnesses?
Let's be realistic here…we don't. However, we expect them to do their best and strive as they can to make this world a better place for us all.
While this editorial of sorts is not meant by any means to have the solution to the educational dilemma we face as a society, I do wish to address some basic concerns, as well as share some thoughts, that I've had for a long time.
First off, let's get one thing straight…are there poor teachers in our schools? Of course there are. There are these proponents of apathy in every career field that we have available to us. These are they who clock in at the assigned time, and are gone the moment they are permitted to do so, putting in no extra effort other than the basics that are required—it's the nature of the beast. Sadly, these types of teachers are those who cause all those in the field to be painted with the same negative stereotypical brush.
But you know what? I've worked in two different schools in my educational journey, and in these two schools I've seen very few of these types of teachers. Furthermore, these teachers do not 'fly under the radar' by any means. The other teachers know exactly whom they are, as does the administration (who often are trying to help them to do better), and many parents in the community usually know how to spot them. However, I've come to discover that these types of individuals are far and few in-between as a general rule. Sadly though, it is these types of teachers that tend to be remembered in our own varied backgrounds and experience. After all, we can all remember that awful teacher we had, and how much we hated that particular class or year in school.
Yet, in all honesty, most teachers that I know do their job, work hard, and often stay extra time at the school; frequently they will take work home because there simply isn't enough time in the day to stay caught up. My first principal, Cindy Wright, once told me, "Teaching is one of those careers that will consume your entire life if you let it." She then told me about finding balance and realizing that there is a time to go home and stop thinking about work. Even now - years later - I still find myself struggling to follow her advice…I worry about my students who are not achieving, I'm continually planning ways in which to better engage them, and putting in countless hours off the clock to make sure that this is happening.
Of course, not all teachers do this—but for the most part, I think a majority of them are doing the best the can, day in and day out. Most of them went into teaching because they wanted to make a difference; after all, one usually doesn't go into education planning to get rich.
My own teaching career has been a rollercoaster of assessing, remediation, and more remediation. I've not known a year in teaching where I was not continually assessing students, and trying to think of ways to move them along further down the boulevard of knowledge.
It was a few years ago that I remember chatting with a kindergarten teacher. This teacher told me that in her class she had kids who came in knowing their first and last names (as well as how to spell them), all names of the basic colors and shapes, kids that could count to 10 or 50, and those that could even tell you all the letter names in the alphabet and basic sounds they made.
I was blown away…
She then went on to tell me about the kids who'd come in knowing hardly any of these things. When asked what their mom's name was, they'd simply reply, "Mommy."
Already—even in the first year of school—these two groups of students are clearly at an advantage and disadvantage in their education. In talking with a few parents about how their kids had learned these basic things, many of them gave responses like, "I have them watch PBS programs like Sesame Street," "I read with them all the time and talk about the book," and probably the most important of them all, "I spend time talking to them, explaining what all these things are."
Even these, the simplest of things, can make a huge difference.
I remember talking to one parent (not in my school) in regards to this and her response was something to the effect of, "Teaching my kid? That's not my job, they learn that stuff when they go to school."
Already, this woman's children are more at a clear disadvantage than many others.
I thought about Jimmer Fredette this morning. I thought of how skilled he is in basketball, too. To watch this guy on the court is like watching poetry in motion.
Now, whether or not you like Jimmer is totally irrelevant. The fact is he's a better basketball player than I will ever be.
But why is this? Why aren't I as good as Jimmer?
Oh, I imagine that a lot of it is simply athletic ability and hand-eye coordination. This plays a big role. However, I think that there's something else, too.
I've played basketball before, and I'm not bad, but I'm not that great at it, either…mostly because I never practice. The reason I don't practice is probably because it's not important enough to me to invest the time to do so.
But what if I wanted to become better? What would I need to do?
Let's say that I sign up for a basketball class with a coach, and he shows me different methods and skills I can use in my playing.
So, while I'm with him, I do what he says. "Now practice this at home." He tells me.
I go home and sit on the couch. Since I know he'll be checking in on me the next time I go to his class—and he'll ask me if I've practiced—I head outside for five minutes, shoot a couple of times, dribble the ball with my heart half into it, and then stop because my favorite television show is slated to come on.
I drop the ball and count it as time served.
Now, compare that to someone else who goes to the same coach, and gets the same instruction that I did—we'll call him Jimmer. Jimmer heads home and then spends an hour each day on the court, trying to master the skills he's been taught. He keeps shooting until he can make the shot and practices dribbling with both hands.
We both return to the coach, and both report that we went out and practiced.
And really, we did; however, one of us was trying with all his heart and wanted to get better, while the other one of us was just serving time.
So, who is going to become the better basketball player?
Every year I have students in my class who do something quite similar to this. I have the student that is taught a skill, given an assignment, and then goes home—knowing that this is practice of what he's already been taught. Often it either gets done halfheartedly (to get it over with), or he comes back the next day having not finished it at all, but armed with a barrage of excuses. Now compare this to the student who not only completes the assignment, but the one who tries their very best and goes above and beyond.
Who is going to become the better reader, writer, or mathematician?
Now, let's change up the scenario just a little bit. Let's pretend that after my basketball class I went home, and there I have a friend that's better at basketball than I am who says, "Hey, how about if I watch you practice and give you some pointers? Maybe even practice with you for a while?" After all, it's more often easier to do something when we have somebody at our disposal with a little more knowledge than we do.
Chances are, I'm going to get better at basketball because he's going to see the errors I'm making, and he'll point out the places I need to improve. In other words, he's going to help me to hone my skills as a ballplayer.
Compare this to coming back home after practice, trying to remember what the coach said, and applying it. Whether this practice is with all my heart, halfhearted, or not at all, none of these will be nearly as powerful as having an expert there along with me, helping to guide me as I try to improve.
Now, if you put this in an educational context, you'll see exactly what I'm talking about.
Can parents make a difference? Indeed they can.
In fact, I've noticed over the years that those students who generally excel in school, who are the higher readers, and those who comprehend math concepts are the students whose parents are involved.
Not always, but nearly always.
The students who are behind in assignments, are lower readers, and are poor academic achievers as well are usually—but not always—those with parents who are not involved.
Having a parent there with you can make all the difference, but it does take patience, effort, and most of all…time.
A past colleague of mine received a letter from a parent that informed her that she didn't appreciate homework being sent home. She also went on to let the teacher know that it was the teacher's job to educate her child. She said that when her child came home from school, that this was her time to spend with her daughter, and they couldn't be bothered with things like schoolwork.
I thought that this was kind of funny…after all, when we go to a doctor we don't fully expect that the doctor will be the one to heal us in a moment or two; however, we follow his directions when he lets us know the things that will make us better: we rest when he asks us, we take the medication he prescribes, and we make sure that we're doing what he recommends because we want to get better.
Education is not something that happens only during the time school is in session, it happens in a thousand little moments all throughout life. It is a constant and consistent thing that should be nourished and helped along the way.
Also, education is a partnership.
The coach, the mentor, and the athlete are all working together for the betterment of the athlete, in much the same way that a teacher, parent, and student are working together for the education of the child.
It's a win-win-win team when all are doing what they should.
Now, before I conclude, let me address one more little thing: The parent who works hard with their child and still sees little to no progress.
Well, back to Jimmer.
While Jimmer most likely has more athletic 'talent' than I do, I can still become a better basketball player than I currently am. We all have different areas in which we excel. A parent who has a struggling student—and all three parties are working hard to overcome it—shouldn't be discouraged by this. After all, in comparing our own levels, we should well be aware that if we compare ourselves to how well we've done in the past, we are more likely to have an accurate marker of our achievement and progress. If I judge my progress based solely on Jimmer's ability, and how close I am to matching up to him, I will always find myself lacking and become discouraged.
There are those of us who simply struggle. However, having something like a learning disability gives us a challenge to work at and then finally overcome. Just be aware that the more we 'dis' our ability, and compare ourselves with those around us, the more discouraged we'll become. We need to keep plugging away. We need to keep taking those shots from the 3-point line trying to make it. We should keep on dribbling that ball. After all, it's through the consistent practice and work that we'll find ourselves discovering that we have more 'ability' than we perhaps originally thought.
One more thing about Jimmer and then I'm through; it was something he said at a basketball camp to the hundred or more kids who attended. He challenged them to reach for their dreams:
"I set a goal…I went out and worked as hard as I possibly can every single day, I saw my dreams start to come true. Now, I'm from a small town, I'm probably from a smaller town than almost all of you guys that are in here…no one thought I could go up and play in the NBA, no one thought I could be a division one basketball player. No one thought I could be reaching these dreams that I'm reaching today. But I did! And the biggest thing is, it's because I went out there and I worked as hard as I possibly could every single day…My challenge to YOU is to go out and do it. Go out and reach your dreams. Whatever it is, it doesn't have to be playing basketball…like I said, instruments, schoolwork, it doesn't matter what it is, I challenge you guys to set a goal…that you want to reach later on in your life. Write it down, okay? Then post it up, right above your bed. So every single night, you'll see it and you'll be thinking about the goal that you want to accomplish. If you guys really put in the effort every single day, you guys can do it and I promise you that."
Police officers are not able to end all crime. It's impossible for firefighters to stop all fires. It's unrealistic to expect doctors to cure all illnesses. We shouldn't expect everyone to be to the same standard by a certain time, either.
However, should we stop trying to do any of these things?
Absolutely not.
It was Dory from Finding Nemo who reminded us that we simply need to 'keep on swimming' in order to make progress to finally get to where we need to be.
...and that is exactly what I plan on doing.

iPhone 4 Launching Only in Black, White iPhone 4 Postponed
iPhone 4 to Be Launched Only in Black?
Thanks to some leaked internal documents from AT&T, it seems that the iPhone 4 will only be released in black at launch, while the white version will be available to buy "later this Summer."
This new development extends to preorders as well — according to the docs, 16 and 32GB black iPhone 4s will be the only models available for preorders, a process that begins tomorrow. No word yet on if this is just an AT&T-only situation, or if it encompasses all distributors. Does this put a damper on your iPhone 4 ordering plans? I know I'm certainly bummed!

Pensioner turns tables on crooks
A PENSIONER has issued a warning after outwitting foreign criminals who tried to fleece her out of her life savings.
Maureen outwitted the crooks from West Africa
Maureen Mills was contacted by the gang, believed to be based in West Africa, who told her that she had scooped £720,000 in the Euromillions Baku Lottery.
The smart 64-year-old from Tayside immediately realised it was a scam – but decided to play along with the gang.
She confounded the crooks by repeatedly supplying erroneous information, including a bank account number which contained just eight zeros.
Explaining her actions, she said: "I knew it was a scam from the off but I thought it would be fun to see what they said.
"So, I gave them a call and a man answered. At no point did he ask for my bank details, which even surprised me a little. He just said the cheque would be sent out to me by first-class mail.
"Lo and behold, two days later I got a letter asking me to pay a clearance charge of one per cent."
I even suggested that they give me the money and then I would send them the one per cent. He got confused and said he would ring me back
Refusing to back down, Ms Mills, from Invergowrie, rang the gang back and said she did not want to hand out her personal details.
She added: "I know never to give out details over the phone but they still kept persisting.
"I even suggested that they give me the money and then I would send them the one per cent. He got confused and said he would ring me back.
"Eventually, he rang again and said that was not possible. I asked all about these different things – the last was a bank account with just zeros in it. Eventually, he just hung up on me."
Now Ms Mills is urging others to be on the lookout for potential scammers and fraudsters.
She said: "I worry that if someone had the one per cent they might just hand it over. It is a lot of money."
A Police Scotland spokesman said: "People should always be extremely cautious about providing personal and financial information over the phone, particularly in instances where they have been cold called."

Route Grade Votings

12m. Climb the groove to a ledge then the wall immediately right of the chimney. Beware of an unexpected loose block that lurks a short distance below the top.
Great caution required with the block. It is very unstable and very heavy! Also likely to get climbers looking for a good finish to Long Climb.
If there was a very heavy and unstable block there it must have fallen off. I just found a small block whicb was didn't seem likely to come off.
There are now at least 3 loose blocks. 2 fairly small ones one on top of the other which could easily be dislodged and one bigger one to the right. Easy enough to avoid if you are expecting to find them but could be dangerous if not. They need clearing out when no-one else around.
There's a block just above the big ledge which is the size of a fridge and feels very loose. If you'd rather leave it alone, finishing up the corner to the right is also possible at a similar grade.
At least one big loose block remains, as I found out on Sunday. It appeared to be completely detached and only sat on the ledge. It was too busy to see just how well attached it was, but probably should be removed on a quiet day.
Didn't notice any particular loose blocks. I remembered mention of them on the top wall, and thumped a few things to see which is was, but nothing seemed to move. Continued warily anyway!

Grand Theft Auto: Episodes from Liberty City? For about the same price as the retail console version of the GTA IV expansion packs, you can get every nearly single Rockstar game in one massive, discounted bundle. The "Rockstar Collection" includes 13 titles, including Bully: Scholarship Edition, Manhunt, Max Payne, Midnight Club 2, and every Grand Theft Auto for PC -- including The Lost and the Damned and The Ballad of Gay Tony.
This week, the bundle will be discounted to a mere $42.49, a considerable savings over the suggested $169.90 value for all the games combined. Considering the bundle includes rather new content, one can even consider this package ... a steal.

Subaru follows rally to X Games sponsorship deal
Published July 9, 2007
A year after ESPN added rally car racing to the X Games, the network is bringing the sport's biggest backer — Subaru — on board as an X Games sponsor.
Subaru replaces Saturn as a gold-level partner in the automotive category for summer X Games 13. ESPN also signed Paramount Pictures as a new associate-level partner, filling its theater category for the first time in two years.
Gold-level partnerships are valued at $2 million an X Games, while associate-level deals fall in the $1 million range, according to industry sources. Both sponsor packages include on-site signs, activation space in the X Games village, rights to marks and significant media across all ESPN platforms from TV to print to online.
The Subaru deal does not cover winter X Games, which have been sponsored by Jeep in the past. Saturn did not return calls regarding its decision to end its X Games partnership.
Summer X will take place Aug. 2-5 in Los Angeles. Returning gold-level sponsors include Edge, U.S. Navy, Mountain Dew, New Balance, Schick and Taco Bell. Associates include Maxell, MediaFlo, Nowwhat.com, Paramount, PlayStation and the Office of National Drug Control Policy.
Paramount is using the X Games to promote the movie "Hot Rod," which is due out Aug. 3.
"We're working hard to close a few more deals over the next few weeks," said X Games managing director Rick Alessandri, "but we're delighted with where we are."

text: Submitted by Lindsay Li on Mon, 01/02/2017 - 10:00am The best spots to ski near PhiladelphiaWinter is here! Which means it is finally officially ski season. With more than two dozen mountains and resorts boasting ski-worthy lanes in the state of Pennsylvania, there are certainly plenty of places to choose from. Whether you want to make it a weekend trip, or just quickly pop over for a day, many locations are less than a two-hour drive from Center City.

Drone Strike in Yemen Likely First of Trump Administration. . A second strike on Friday, Donald Trump's first day in the Oval Office, killed three alleged militants, according to the Associated Press, which reported that Yemeni government officials (who often feed U.S. intelligence information on targets) attributed the strikes to the U.S. [Hit & Run]
When Trump took office it was the first time in sixteen years that a President wasn't already a war criminal at his inauguration. Trump didn't even make it a day before changing that.
Last weekend I moved to a new apartment. I'd gotten fed up with the terrible management at the last apartment complex, so I left as soon as my lease expired. The new place is about the same size, also has Google Fiber, and has an even better view–I can see Town Lake from my desk.
4 Schools Go into Lockdown, Call Cops on Man with an Umbrella. It's a gun! No, it's a sword!
Whatever it was, two different people spotted a man carrying it near Poly High in Riverside, California. They saw something, and said something. As a result four local schools went into lockdown mode yesterday.
Police hunted for the menacing maniac and finally, according to The Press Enterprise, "a campus supervisor at Poly spotted a man who matched the description given by both callers."
The weapon he was carrying?
An umbrella.
The lockdowns were lifted, but the threat continues: Rain is in the forecast. [Hit & Run]
That was the high school where I was an inmate in the 1980s. I took ROTC while I was there, which involved about a hundred students marching around with bolt-action rifles (albeit rifles which had been rendered incapable of firing) at least one day a week. No lockdowns were involved.
I've just started a new six-month contract as a programmer with Integrity Digital Solutions. I'm in Temple for the week for training, but after that I'll be working from home. It looks like it will be a pretty good job.
Clowns, Kids & Satan. The security expert Bruce Schneier coined a term for this: Movie plot threat. We imagine the threat to our kids is just like the one we'd see, or have seen, in the movies. It's easier to picture Bozo with a bazooka than a car crash when mom or dad is confused by their GPS (which in our car seems to be about a third of the time), so that's the threat we focus on…to the point where we start exaggerating unlikely outcomes, or even seeing things. [Free Range KidsFree Range Kids]
Even now there are people being persecuted (especially in New York City) because of laws written by politicians who had confused West Side Story with a documentary. I hate to think what sort of future persecution will result from politicians thinking that Killer Klowns from Outer Space was a documentary.
Court: Group's 3D printer gun files must stay offline for now The federal civil suit originated three years ago when Cody Wilson and his group, Defense Distributed, published designs for the "Liberator," the world's first 3D-printed handgun. Within months, Defense Distributed received a letter from the United States Department of State's Office of Defense Trade Controls Compliance, stating that 10 files, including the designs of the Liberator, were in violation of the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR). This letter came despite the fact that these files had already been downloaded hundreds of thousands of times and continue to circulate online. [Ars Technica]
This reminds me of the 1990s, when the Evil Empire tried to keep encryption technology away from people using the same tactics. It didn't work then, and it won't work now. Here's a BitTorrent link to download the files in question.
Cops record themselves allegedly fabricating charges with suspect's camera. In a federal civil rights lawsuit, a Connecticut man has shared footage to bolster his claims that police illegally confronted the pedestrian because he was filming one of them. Authorities seized Michael Picard's camera and his permitted pistol, and the officers involved then accidentally recorded themselves allegedly fabricating charges against the man.
The tickets Picard got were for the alleged use of a highway by a pedestrian and for allegedly creating a public disturbance for carrying an "exposed loaded sidearm in plain view of passing motorists." The authorities eventually dismissed the tickets. [Ars Technica]
Note that carrying an exposed loaded sidearm in plain view of passing motorists is perfectly legal in Connecticut as long as you have a carry permit, which Picard did. Not only did the jackboots get caught fabricating charges, they were so stupid that they couldn't even come up with something that was actually illegal for their lies.
West Virginia cop fired for not killing a man with an unloaded gun. He did what police officers are supposed to do — put himself at risk to save a life. [Radley Balko]
What Mader did upon arriving at the scene is a hell of a lot braver course of action than simply opening fire when the suspect doesn't immediately disarm. What Mader did is in fact exactly what we want cops to do when someone is in crisis. It's also precisely what law enforcement officers say they do on a daily basis — put themselves at risk in order to save lives. Mader should have been given a medal.
Of course the outcome of this guy being a good cop is completely predictable: he was fired. Also, two other cops showed up who were perfectly willing to murder the guy who Mader wouldn't.
Ferguson Activist Darren Seals Found Shot and Dead in Burning Car in St. Louis. 29-year-old activist Darren Seals was found dead in a burning car in the Riverview section of St. Louis this week, as the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports. Seals became an anti-gun violence activist after being shot in 2013, and in 2014 was among the first protesters in Ferguson, according to the Washington Post.
Seals helped found the group Hands Up United and was a vocal opponent of African-Americans voting Democrat as a bloc. "Just because they've got the D next to their name, that don't mean nothing," Seals told the Washington Post in 2014. "The world is watching us right now. It's time to send a message of our power." [Hit & Run)]
The danger of sending messages like that in a police state is that the people in charge might actually get the message and decide to send back one of their own.
New Round of Fearmongering Over Texting and Driving. If you went by the breathless reporting on texting and driving, or the word of law enforcement or "traffic safety advocates" you'd think at any given moment someone is careening to their death because they or another driver had their eyes on their cellphones and not on the road. [Hit & Run]
I'll consider believing that phones are some sort of serious threat to driver safety that must be banned once they ban things that are unquestionably more distracting in cars, like small children.

Frankie Essex flaunts rippling abs in incredible before and after weight loss transformation snap
TOWIE star Frankie Essex has worked hard on her weight loss over the past year.
And now, the blonde beauty has showed off the results of her hard work by flaunting her rippling abs in a bikini snap.
Posing a bright pink bikini with a blue edging, the reality star flaunted her toned figure in a stunning mirror selfie.
Keeping her face hidden with her long blonde hair, she showed off her slimmer figure, as well as her toned legs.
The 28 year old uploaded the snap alongside a 'before' photo, which showed her wearing the same bikini before her weight loss.

The two photos side by side highlighted Frankie's new toned figure, and she captioned it: "Eat clean train dirty."
Joey Essex's sister has taken every opportunity to show off her jaw-dropping weight loss, after shedding over two stone last year.

The Essex babe began her dramatic weight loss at the start of 2016, and continued to stun fans with her ever-shrinking waist line.
Just a few weeks ago, she was pictured showing off her incredible figure in a hot pink swimsuit while on holiday in Tenerife.
Posing on the beach, the businesswoman flaunted her toned legs as she played with a bat and ball in the sea.
She even released her own fitness DVD a few months back, which she claims has a "feel good factor".

Explaining her DVD, Frankie told OK! Online: "It's filmed in Greece, with great scenery, great vibes and great banter.
"It's not as hard as you might think - once you feel like you can do it, you feel like you've achieved something."
[XPosure ]
Back in November the Essex babe hit back at trolls who accused her altering her images, and showed off her slender frame in a video on Instagram.
Showing off her washboard abs, the stunner touched her toned physique while saying to the camera: "See, no photoshopping, normal belly. No scars, no tummy tucks."
She captioned the short clip: "Just to prove a point. I've been training for the past 7 months and I still am this is proof that I have had no surgery! And my DVD works!"
Frankie has credited fitness for changing her life, and recently revealed she wants to help others in a similar position to her.
She explained: "My confidence is just getting so much better now.
[Frankie Essex/Instagram]
"I felt more confident with losing the weight anyway, but slowly I'm starting to see it myself."
The ITVBe favourite admitted that issues with her weight left her contemplating suicide at one point.
"Last year I was in a horrible depression bubble, and it was popping," she explained.
"I think when you're in a situation like that, you're the only person who can get yourself out of it, and as much as you want help from other people, you're the only person who can do it.
"I'd just had enough. I was so depressed, so down - and I'd even become a member of the gym, but never went because I was too embarrassed to go.
"But then, I just thought - if I don't do it, what am I doing?"

TUCSON, Ariz. — A man says a creature that didn't look human tried to break into his house on the same night the Phoenix Lights made their appearance in 1997.
The anonymous 60-year-old man said last Thursday that the event took place at his small home business located in a rural area about 18 miles southwest of Tucson.
"I went to bed at around 10 p.m. that night and was awakened by the sound of someone attempting to open the bedroom window," he said on a report submitted to the Mutual UFO Network. "The sound was like nails on a blackboard," he added.
The man said he had a feeling that someone was going to cause him harm and he immediately grabbed a weapon to defend himself.
"At this time my emotions changed from fear to intense anger, and a strong determination to kill the attempted intruder, if he got in."
So, he says, in an attempt to stop the intruder from making it any further into his property, he went to the living room and turned on the flood lights located on the front of the house.
"I hit the switch and was totally shocked when I saw this thing, which was now moving away from the house towards the fence," he explains. "It wasn't exactly running, but it was moving smoothly and very quickly. It reached the fence in just a few seconds."
The barb wired fence, placed about 100 feet from the house, was reportedly not an obstacle to the alleged creature. The Arizonian says it jumped over it like a "hurdle jumper in the Olympics" and continued to a wooded area where he claims a disk-shaped flying device began raising off the ground.
"It was about 40 feet in diameter and passed by the front of my house at a distance of about 130 feet, about 60 feet above the ground. It had steady yellow and red lights on the bottom of it and made no sound that I could hear."
The man described the creature as a 7-feet-tall thin humanoid with extremely long arms and a large head shaped like a "football helmet".
The eyewitness recalls being in shock and in a state of fear, hiding behind a sofa and "clutched" to his shotgun all night. The next day, he says, he went to a small cafe where he came across one of his friends.
"He lived in a trailer a few miles to the south of me. When I saw him I simply said 'man, something really weird happened last night', and he replied 'you're not kidding… a UFO came up the canyon'. I was startled to hear that, and asked him 'what time ?' and he replied 'about a quarter past 1'. When he said that I panicked and left the cafe without even taking my coffee or food."
The man then proceeded to secure the entries to the house and didn't find out about the Phoenix Lights sighting until years later.
"I didn't have a television and didn't catch any reports," he said, adding that he didn't talk about the incident until recently because he had military contract jobs and that he was afraid to be considered a "lunatic" and lose his "clearance".
The state of Arizona experienced one of the most known mass sightings of UFOs in 1997 when thousands of witnesses reported seeing a large triangle-shaped object in the city of Phoenix.
Former Arizona governor Fife Symington initially mocked the incident at a press conference but later admitted that what he saw was "something that defied logic" and that it even "challenged" his reality.
18 years later, in early February 2015, three Phoenix men videotaped a similar occurrence.

The massive Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 contains new provisions on mental health parity, disaster tax relief for victims of this year's hurricanes and floods, and a new tax break for employees who bicycle to work.
Mental Health Parity Expanded And Made Permanent
Mental health parity has been on the books since 1996, sunsetting at the end of a calendar year, but always being reinstated by Congress. It was, for example, slated to expire at the end of this year. The emergency stabilization act makes the current mental health parity provisions permanent, effective January 1, 2009.
The emergency stabilization act also requires group health plans that provide mental health benefits to extend benefits to substance abuse-related disorders. More parity between medical-surgical benefits and mental health-substance abuse benefits will be required, as well. Small employers — those with not more than 50 em...(register to read more)

I bought fresh water chestnuts today; Mind you I am *totally* happy with canned water chestnuts. Maybe that is so because I never had fresh ones before. But those little things sure look hard to peel and for me hard to get (closest place to get fresh is 60 miles of driving one way) plus I use canned alot, so like the stuff.
But makes me think, I can live, like and maybe love canned water chestnuts. What other somewhat processed foods do I like and use, over obtaining making and using fresh?
Canned tuna
dried pasta
I'd say peanut butter but I hate the stuff
You get the idea. And what do you say?

Healthy Eating: Helping Your Child Learn Healthy Eating Habits
What is an Actionset?
Childhood is the best time to learn the healthy habits that can last a lifetime.
Healthy eating can help your child feel good, stay at or reach a healthy weight, and have lots of energy for school and play. In fact, healthy eating can help your whole family live better.
Return to topic:
Healthy eating means eating:
It also means limiting:
Healthy eating doesn't mean that your child has to give up all desserts and treats. Those types of foods can be okay now and then. Just remember that moderation is the goal.
Is it okay for children to be vegetarians?
Vegetarian diets can be healthy for children and teens. A strict vegetarian diet (vegan) that does not include meat, poultry, fish, dairy, or eggs might require some planning to be sure your child is getting enough calories, vitamins, and minerals. Young vegan children tend to be slightly smaller but still within normal ranges for growth. And they tend to catch up to other children in size as they get older. Parents can get help from a registered dietitian who is experienced in vegan diets.
A vegetarian diet that includes milk products and eggs can be a healthy way to eat for children and teens. In fact, it can be a great way to get them into a lifelong habit of healthy eating.
If your teen decides to become a vegetarian, teach him or her how to plan meals to get all the right nutrients every day. Teens need calcium and vitamin D. And iron is especially important for teen girls who are menstruating. Talk with your doctor about how much of these vitamins and minerals your child needs. Ask if your teen needs to take a daily supplement.
Test Your Knowledge
A vegetarian diet is not healthy for my growing child.
Teaching and modeling healthy eating habits is crucial in this age of high-fat fast foods, ever-present soda pop machines, and increasing numbers of obese and overweight children.
Children who weigh too much may end up with serious health problems, including:
Healthy eating can help your child stay at or reach a healthy weight, grow, and have lots of energy for school and play. It's one of the most important habits you can teach your child to give him or her a healthy life.
Of course, these habits are not just good for children. They're good for the whole family.
Test Your Knowledge
Healthy eating is one of the most important habits I can teach my children.
Share the responsibility. You decide when, where, and what the family eats. Your child chooses whether and how much to eat from the options you provide.
Young children are good at listening to their bodies. They eat when they're hungry. They stop when they're full. When we try to control how much children eat, we interfere with this natural ability. Keeping this division of responsibility helps your child stay in touch with those internal cues.
Help your children learn to eat slowly and recognize when they are full. Don't let rules, pleading, or bargaining dictate your child's eating patterns.
You can use some or all of the ideas below to get started. You may find other ideas that work for your family, and you can add those to these lists.
First steps
Portion sizes
After a few days or weeks
Use knowledge to reinforce healthy eating habits
Help your children understand healthy eating by teaching them about food—where it comes from, how it grows, what nutrients it contains, and how many calories (how much energy) it has.
Test Your Knowledge
It's important to give my child complete freedom when it comes to when, where, and how much to eat.
Now that you have read this information, you are ready to help your child learn healthy eating habits.
Talk with your doctor
If you have questions about this information, print it out and take it with you when you visit your doctor. You may want to use a highlighter to mark areas or make notes in the margins of the pages where you have questions.

The picture postcard scenery of South-West France has mesmerised tourists and locals for years. As well as the centre of Bordeaux, which is classified as a UNESCO heritage site, Bordeaux's region also spoils you for choice with the imposing medieval buildings, fortresses and castles scattered all around. .
These constructions, which seem to belong to a distant time, often stand proud on the edge of cliffs or take refuge in between rock formations, as if in hiding. Wherever they are found, each place has its own stories to tell and legends to share, waiting to be discovered. Even museum, awarded with the « Vignobles & Decouvertes » label, have their part of history to tell.

Form I-9 Alert: TPS benefits will be ending for Guinea, Liberia, and Sierra Leone
As many employers are keenly aware, there are a myriad of "special" Form I-9 rules and procedures for new hires and existing employees who possess temporary work authorization. The Form I-9 handbook (M-274) and I-9 Central website include a detailed (but not exhaustive) list of such scenarios including a rather unique process for individuals who are in temporary protected status (or TPS for short).
TPS is a temporary benefit provided to foreign individuals currently in the United States who are unable to return home to their country because of some extraordinary and temporary condition which prevents them from returning home safely (e.g., ongoing armed conflict, environmental disaster, health epidemic, etc.). Once granted TPS, an individual can apply for temporary work authorization in the US and receive an employment authorization document (EAD) – which as all you I-9 gurus out there are proudly aware is an acceptable List A Document.
But what happens when the individual's EAD expires, or (as announced today) the DHS decides to terminate one or more countries from TPS designation? Read-on to learn about the latest TPS news and best practices for completing your I-9 forms properly!
DHS Announces Termination of TPS for Guinea, Liberia, and Sierra Leone
Today, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) published notices in the Federal Register, announcing the termination of TPS for individuals from Guinea, Liberia, and Sierra Leone as of May 21, 2017. DHS first designated these countries for TPS in late 2014 in response to the widespread and fast moving Ebola virus epidemic in West Africa, which had overwhelmed health care systems and led to the deaths of more than 11,000 individuals. The DHS further extended the TPS designation earlier this year until November 21, 2016 (less than 2 months from now).
In the notices published today, the DHS indicated that all three countries are now Ebola free with steadily improving life and work conditions – thus leading to the termination of TPS benefits.
Orderly Transition and the Extended EAD
While TPS will soon be ending for these individuals, the DHS has provided for an orderly transition by automatically extending TPS and work authorization for qualified individuals until May 20, 2017 (a 6 month extension from the current November 21 expiration). Beneficiaries do not need to re-register for TPS or apply for a new EAD – an important point to note for employers.
But wait a minute, you say, how am I supposed to complete a new I-9 (or reverify an existing I-9) if the individual's EAD is now expired on its face? I'm not allowed to accept expired documents, right? Well, yes and no. Let's take a closer look by examining two common scenarios.
(1) New hire with auto-extended EAD
If a new hire presents an EAD with an expiration date of November 21, 2016 and a Category which indicates "A-12" or "C-19," it has been automatically extended until May 20, 2017 by virtue of the Federal Register notices announced today. See illustration below for where the category is displayed on the EAD:
The DHS also recommends the following I-9 procedure:
Section 1 (to be completed by the employee)
- Check "An alien authorized to work"
- Write the automatically extended EAD expiration date in the first space thereafter (for individuals from Guinea, Liberia, and Sierra Leone, you'll write May 20, 2017)
- Write your alien number (USCIS number or A-number) in the second space (your EAD will have your USCIS number or A-number printed on it; note that the USCIS number is the same as you're a-number without the A prefix)
Section 2 (to be completed by the employer)
- Record the EAD's document title
- Record the Issuing authority
- Record the document number
- Record the automatically extended EAD expiration date (e.g., May 20, 2017)
As described above, this is one of those rare circumstances when you can actually accept an expired document (in this case, an EAD) because the document has (in essence) been extended by virtue of the federal register notice.
(2) Existing hire with auto-extended EAD
Employers must also follow special rules for documenting an automatic EAD extension for existing (i.e., current) employees through a review and correction process. Here's how it works:
Section 1 (to be completed by the employee)
- Draw a line through the expiration date in the first space
- Write the automatically extended EAD expiration date (e.g., May 20, 2017) above the previous date
- Write "TPS Ext" in the margin of section 1
- Initial and date the correction in margin of Section 1
Section 2 (to be completed by the employer)
- Draw a line through the expiration date written in section 2
- Write the automatically extended EAD expiration date (e.g., May 20, 2017) above the previous date
- Write "EAD Ext" in the margin of section 2
- Initial and date the correction in the margin of section 2
Employers must also reverify employment authorization again (in section 3) in advance of the expiration date of the automatically extended EAD (e.g., May 20, 2017).
Lastly, it's extremely important to remember that employers must accept any documentation that appears on the Form I-9 "List of Acceptable Documents" that reasonably appears to be genuine and relates to the employee presenting it. Employers may not request "extra documentation" such as proof of the individual's citizenship or documentation related to the TPS application. Doing so many constitute an unfair documentary practice (see our recent article here for the perils associated therein!)
