The aim of Courage Bazaar Night Market India is to raise funds for the purchase of a special set of rehabilitation equipment for people with visual impairment in two Kiev libraries: the Lesya Ukrainka Public Library and the Taras Shevchenko Central Library for Children.
Technical means of rehabilitation are created in order to make people with disabilities more free, independent and able to live in society, work and be realized on an equal basis with all people. So one of the largest companies producing equipment for the blind and visually impaired is called Freedom Scientific - Scientific Freedom.
The overwhelming majority of its employees are themselves blind and they create a technique for the blind. So, relying on the world experience and taking into account the needs of our people, we organize special places for reading and working with texts and images, in social. networks, e-mail, on the Internet and with a paper book for people with visual impairments. We will create an opportunity for people with myopia, dyslexia and other vision problems, with residual eyesight and for totally blind people to access information: books, websites on the Internet.

It has advanced functions such as lines and read masks, focus lock, freeze frame, search functions, and 33 color modes. Thanks to very fast autofocusing, the reader's eyes are not subjected to additional loading.
2. Stationary video magnifier Topaz XL HD 24 "has an additional function of connecting to a computer. This makes it possible not only to read the information, but also to work with it, to transform and create its own works using images from a video enhancement device. A computer for connecting to a video-tester and for installing special software on it will also be delivered within the framework of this complex. System unit, monitor, keyboard, mouse, speakers. And also two uninterruptible power supplies for video amplifiers, in order to protect them from fluctuations in voltage in the power grid.
3. MAGic is a screen magnification program that helps people with poor eyesight to use PC capabilities, including the Internet. Increases the image on the screen up to 60 times, which makes it possible to read information on websites or electronic documents, as well as work with them.

UPD: due to the fact that the Shevchenko's library was not able to provide the necessary conditions for the placement and access to the equipment for visually impaired and blind people; by mutual agreement, the equipment will be transferred to the NGO "Blue Giotto". The equipment will be installed on the basis of the "Library of the Future", which specializes in working with people with disabilities. The corresponding letter is placed under the heading "Documentation".
Кураж Базар. SpaceCamp
Charity Flower Power - this is absolute happiness, freedom, lightness and love - a real little Woodstock in Kiev. June 23-24, it will be possible to plunge into a positive bocho-atmosphere, dress up in all the most variegated, drown in the oceans of flowers and truly relax. The event will hold lectures and master classes, organize a large inclusive children's zone Disneyland, and all the profits will be given to charity. For the second consecutive year, we dedicate the flea market to the socialization of children with disabilities and fully fund a camp for children with complex disabilities of SpaceCamp.
SpaceCamp is a space where children can develop, grow and grow up together, regardless of diagnoses or their absence. Last year, SpaceCamp united in the space of love and acceptance of more than 150 children. The project is designed for children who have complex violations (for example, a child has cerebral palsy, he does not see, hears badly, epilepsy). Such children and adolescents stayed aside, they do not attend gardens, schools, circles with their peers, are completely isolated from society.
In SpaceCamp everyone was able to learn something new, to get a new experience: someone first celebrated his birthday for real - with friends, cake, candles and gifts, someone learned to eat himself, someone decided that vegetables - not the most terrible thing in the world, someone first zipped their sandals, someone first participated with everyone in the game.
This year, the camp plans to take even more children between the ages of 4 to 16 years. The program of the camp includes hiking, quests, parties, fishing, competitions, wakeboards, shopping trips, many master classes and the final reporting party-fair. During the project, children learn to help each other, listen and hear, try to build relationships. The uniqueness of the project is that we have created a space in which children with complex developmental disabilities and without violations are. Children with developmental disabilities receive a rich, diverse, invaluable experience of communicating with many new people, both adults and their peers. In the camp, they can use the skills acquired in the course of corrective exercises in various real life situations. Children develop autonomy, a sense of responsibility and independence.
Normally developing children in the context of an inclusive camp acquire a new experience of communicating with peers with developmental disabilities, realizing the difficulties faced by children with disabilities. They learn to accept differences, this instills in them sensitivity, tolerance.
Children are in the camp from 9:00 to 19:00, which allows moms to relax and take care of themselves.
The project is financed for the second year in a row thanks to Kyrazh Bazar and the previous project is available on the link

Death on Tuckernuck
In the Category 3 winds of a late-season hurricane, Nantucket police detective Merry Folger and her team attempt a rescue off the secluded island of Tuckernuck—only to discover a deadly secret.
As a hurricane bears down on Nantucket, Dionis Mather and her father have their work cut out for them. Their family business is to ferry goods and people back and forth from Tuckernuck, the private island off Nantucket's western tip, a place so remote and exclusive that it is off the electric grid. As caretakers of the small plot of sand in the middle of the Atlantic, the Mathers are responsible for evacuating Tuckernuck's residents. But as the storm surge rises and the surf warnings mount, Dionis has to make a choice: abandon whatever—or whoever—was left behind, or risk her own life by plunging back into the maelstrom. Even she has no idea what evil the hurricane is sheltering.

That Churchill Woman
The Paris Wife meets PBS's Victoria in this enthralling novel of the life and loves of one of history's most remarkable women: Winston Churchill's scandalous American mother, Jennie Jerome.
Wealthy, privileged, and fiercely independent New Yorker Jennie Jerome took Victorian England by storm when she landed on its shores. As Lady Randolph Churchill, she gave birth to a man who defined the twentieth century: her son Winston. But Jennie—reared in the luxury of Gilded Age Newport and the Paris of the Second Empire—lived an outrageously modern life all her own, filled with controversy, passion, tragedy, and triumph.

Political alliances that are decidedly unexpected to some are being formed in Congress because of immigration reform. The Los Angeles Times has reported that the group known as America's Voice has defended Senator Lindsey Graham after he was attacked by members of his own party due to his support of immigration reform, even going so far as to donate $60,000 to the organization Republicans for Immigration Reform.
A variety of other alliances are also being created between groups that in the past have not had much in the way of common ground. Republican operatives and liberal Latino organizations, labor unions and the Chamber of Commerce, and hi-tech companies and faith groups have been teaming up in order to fight for immigration reform.
Lobbyists are using these new alliances in order to try to persuade Republicans in Congress to agree to offer a path to US citizenship for the nation's undocumented immigrant population. Targeting of House Republicans by immigration advocates is expected to increase over the course of the next few months. It is six years since Congress last even made an attempt to address the issue of immigration back in 2007. "We will see a significant ramp-up of activities in August and September," says labor giant AFL-CIO campaign manager Tom Snyder.
Republicans who have already given their support to comprehensive immigration reform have witnessed a rise in positive comments from advocacy groups, while Democrats are hoping to create a House-Senate committee that would force the core components of immigration reform to be brought to the floor of the House.

MOCA probing serious breaches at FLA - Dalling
File photo of a 9mm firearm.
The Major Organised Crime and Anti-Corruption Agency (MOCA) is investigating several serious breaches by staff members of the Firearm Licensing Authority (FLA), including at least one case of a seized firearm being unlawfully removed from the FLA's vault and returned to the licence holder.
That was among the startling revelations made on Tuesday by the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) at the FLA, Shane Dalling, during a sitting of Parliament's Internal and External Affairs Committee.
Dalling made the disclosure as he spoke of his efforts to clean up the gun control authority and fix structural weaknesses that have dogged the agency and, over the years, led to widespread corruption and a loss of public trust.
Shane Dalling
The CEO also told the committee that some 100 firearm licences were issued without due process before he arrived at the FLA in 2017. He said those guns are still in the hands of individuals and, based on FLA checks, the number is growing.
According to Dalling, it was discovered that a firearm was removed from the FLA's vault and returned it to an individual, after the gun was seized. That individual apparently had a dispute with his wife and his gun was brought into play to abuse the woman.
"We found …incidents of (a wife) reporting abuse by use of the firearm yet we found that the wife's firearm was taken and not the abuser's.
"We found where the licence holder was before the Gun Court and the wife spent weeks in hospital from the abuse and the reports that the firearm, although it was taken, was returned to the licence holder by staff members going into the vault and retrieving the firearm on behalf of the licence holder," Dalling disclosed.
He told the committee that in 2017 when he became CEO, firearm licences were being granted without the applications being subjected to the requisite vetting.
He said a system has since been implemented where a file must be brought to the general administration department for vetting to ensure that the security clearances have been received from the relevant agencies .
What was discovered was that files were being sent to the FLA board for approval without the proper clearances being done.
Dalling said there have been cases where the licences were granted "then the security clearance comes in and there are adverse traces on the individual that was never discovered in the field.
"It then places us in an awkward situation in trying to retrieve that firearm from that person," said Dalling.
When asked by Committee member Lisa Hanna how many such firearms are in the hands of individuals, Dalling said more than 100 files have so far been uncovered. He said the "number is going up as we go along each day."

About social recruiting with Michelle Minnikin
There's no one better to talk to about social recruiting than a recruiter who has worked previously as a marketer. Today I interview a Strategic Recruitment Manager at Scott Logic, Michelle Minnikin, who shares a great deal of useful practices on recruiting through social media, company culture and branding. Michelle also shares her top 3 resources for HR managers. Keep reading.
About Michelle…
Her background is in occupational psychology and recruitment, having built 14 years of experience. She is a Recruitment Manager – Strategy, having joined Scott Logic after three years at Balfour Beatty and prior to that, AMEC. In her role she provides a bridge between recruitment and marketing activities for Scott Logic. She's been in post since February 2016 and her favourite things (at work) are employer branding, selection and assessment.
Michelle, social media are already full-fledged recruiting tools. What do you see as the most effective social media to recruit for Scott Logic? There is so much out there and sometimes it can be a waste of time if not used properly.
As a business, we create carefully targeted content, including three different blogs for different audiences that are shared through various channels. Our technical blog, which our consultants write, shares our thoughts and experiences of using technologies, techniques and tools, and is very popular. Our insights blog is for business leaders and decision makers, and our careers blog helps software developers, test engineers and user experience designers with their job search while showcasing what it's like to work at Scott Logic.
At Scott Logic, the quality of our service is defined by our people; they are our greatest asset, so we already know we want more people just like them (we'd love to clone them, but this technology has not been suitably developed yet!). So, we asked our people what social media sites they spend time on so we can focus our efforts on the channels that are relevant to them.
Based on this information, we are focusing our efforts on LinkedIn and Twitter as recruitment tools. As an organisation, we do have a LinkedIn Recruiter License so we are able to source directly using that. However, I think delivering engaging, useful content that positions our employees as thought leaders and showcases what it is like to work here helps make our recruitment brand more desirable.
I wonder how do you assess the efficiency of your content marketing? How you set yourself a goal to reach which specific content and what stats are you looking at to define the success?
Our strategy is a long term one focused primarily on raising awareness of the Scott Logic brand among our key audiences. So, tracking all applications to ask how each candidate heard about us is vital. We also survey all candidates to assess the experience they've had of our recruitment process to obtain anecdotal and qualitative feedback that helps us improve on an ongoing basis.
Can you share how you engage candidates in your employer brand on social media?
Our social media strategy is to create compelling content and ensure it is seen by the type of people we're looking to join us, as well as constantly monitoring results to refine and improve. We have a current project looking at our employee brand proposition in more depth. We will use the information we get from our people to review how we set out our stall and position ourselves as differentiators to attract more talented individuals like them. We want to ensure that we give people who are thinking of moving jobs a realistic preview of what they can expect from working at Scott Logic, along with an understanding of what makes a good consultant. We also monitor Glassdoor very closely and encourage our people, as well as those interviewed for roles, whether successful or not, to provide us with honest feedback so we can continually improve.
You mentioned that your social media strategy is to create compelling content and ensure it is seen by the type of people you're looking to join you. So, what are the main factors that motivate candidates to join your team?
Not only do we find candidates attracted through word of mouth, but because we have a number of thought leaders in the business, that regularly speak at events and write blog posts and white papers, we are gaining a solid reputation as a business in which you can grow through learning from other smart and passionate people.
According to recent studies, automotive industries have mastered social media use (Source: https://blog.thesocialms.com/automotive-social-media-four-car-brands-winning-at-social-media/) Do you think that certain industries are naturally more engaging than others on social media, or is this just a matter of budget?
I feel it's always easier to sell an organisation as an employer of choice when you have a defined product and brand – who wouldn't want to work at Harrods, Apple or The Walt Disney Company? If you look at LinkedIn's most InDemand companies, the vast majority are product- based. People tend to understand what this type of company does as it is consumer-facing, and I'm sure budgets are massive.
However, for the last few years, tech companies have also been coming at the top of these lists, so as an industry, we are creating an interest for people to get into technology. As a relatively small company, and a business to business, service-led firm at that, we need to stay on top of our game with our recruitment strategy and social media use. We have significantly smaller budgets than some of the more well-known brands out there, so we have to use our resources more creatively. We have a number of exciting plans in the pipeline…watch this space!
You said two very important things, one about branding and the second about trying to stay on top of your industry. Please tell me, since you don't have a product to sell (like Apple or Mercedes) and you sell services – how are you trying to build a brand around something that's so…well, let's say – indefinite? You're a consulting company, so could you possibly consult on everything related to technology?! And secondly, the tech industry is extremely competitive and fast-paced. How do you retain your employees, who are the most attractive candidates on the job market?
You're correct in that we are a service-led, business to business company, and relatively niche. However, the brand is built on the exceptional quality of the service we provide, due to the talent, passion and expertise of our people. The service we offer is bespoke, so we work with each client on an individual basis to truly assess their needs and build a solution that exceeds them, as well as lasting into the future. We drive business process improvements and organisational change for our clients through technology. We pride ourselves on creating a culture of learning and encourage all staff to embed themselves in all aspects of technology to develop themselves personally. This allows them, and us, to keep abreast of changes in the tech landscape.
Looks like marketing and HR have more in common in recent years. What's changed in the last decade in the HR industry?
What has changed in the last decade in terms of recruitment – everything! Where recruiters used to place traditional print job advertisements in their local newspaper or trade magazine, the digital revolution has expanded our options. And there is still a place for such localised, targeted tactics. However, due to numerous disrupters such as LinkedIn and Glassdoor, increased competition for talented individuals and the evolution of the career from the job for life to the gig economy, the power has shifted away from employers and there is more choice now for high calibre job seekers to choose where they spend the vast majority of their lives – at work.
Employers need to craft a compelling message and give potential employees a real understanding about what it is like to work for their organisation; this is where the crossover with marketing has occurred. Though, we do not carry out recruitment campaigns around specific roles. We've always got our eye on the market so we are in a position to recruit exceptional candidates as and when we see them.
Do you mean that you create a job for exceptional candidates on the spot? First, find the person and then…find an occupation for the hire?
Our business is very fluid in the way it works and our organic growth is steady. We operate in a very Agile way, and generally hire technology agnostic, polyglot developers (developers who can write in more than one coding language). Our client project teams shrink and grow at different stages of release, and we have a number of projects taking place at any one time, all at different phases, including internal projects that help some of our junior developers improve their skills. This way of working means that if we see a good developer, test engineer or user experience designer then we are in a strong position to be able to hire them.
What HR can learn from marketing and vice versa?
There are many skills that lend themselves to both disciplines, such as branding, storytelling, segmentation, search engine optimisation (SEO), generating advocacy and networking, and I personally have felt this evolution, particularly over the last three or four years as digital channels have embedded themselves in our culture.
HR can learn from marketing on how to see themselves in more commercial terms, as huge contributors to the bottom line, while marketers can learn to be a little more human from HR, in terms of the power of the candidate experience, not only at the beginning of an individual's appointment, but throughout the employee life cycle.
I had the impression that it's the other way around, that HR managers often only contact candidates when they need them, and if the candidate is not interested, they often stop nurturing the relationship with them. Is it different at Scott Logic?
The relationship with HR and recruitment should not end when a candidate begins a role, and while I think this can be the case in some large organisations, we are a relatively small firm and are continually working to ensure we maintain strong relationships with all of our people, from the moment they first hear of the company, until in many cases long after they leave. Because of this we've had some staff members leave and come back to us after gaining experience elsewhere. Your people are your biggest asset, and their stories can be incredibly valuable in attracting new candidates; this doesn't just apply to successful applicants. We've also had applicants come to us after being referred by those who weren't offered a role themselves. The important thing is to leave people with a positive experience at every touch point, regardless of the relationship.
We know that normally marketers keep sending newsletters, nurture the customers on social media by fueling them with news, info for their entertainment, to create a community around the brand. If you could explain more how marketers can become more human in the sense you're talking about?
As a recruitment specialist, my role does involve some overlap into marketing, but I'm not a marketing expert, so I may not be best placed to comment. That said, what I was alluding to was the fact that traditionally, marketing is a very commercial discipline that works to place messaging so it is seen by individuals with a view to them spending money with the brand. Historically, this has tended to be a one-way relationship, while HR works to have ongoing two-way conversations with candidates throughout the recruitment process and beyond.
Since we talk about marketing…we know marketers love metrics. What is (or should be) the most important metric for a great recruiter to track candidates?
Quality of hire is the most crucial aspect of measurement for us. It's all about whether the individual is the best fit for the role as well as the business, and vice versa.
What's the best social recruiting case study you're seen recently in media?
Through a podcast, I became aware of the work that Craig Fisher has done at CA Technologies, using a rather lovely piece of technology to create employee brand advocates that helped the company spread the word and attract great talent. I am very encouraged by the results and hope to implement something similar here shortly.
And what's the newest EB trend you would like to explore?
Good question…candidate experience is our team's key focus and to help us create the best possible experience, I'd love to explore some new technologies that are now available. We have an incredibly good recruitment system, developed in-house and it serves us well. However, modern recruitment systems are doing some great things now, combining the traditional applicant tracking systems with a customer relationship management system and social referral systems, which will give us greater insight into the experience we're providing, and enable us to communicate more smoothly with candidates throughout their application journey and beyond. This is another way in which our recruiting efforts are aligning with those of marketing. I also love data and recruitment analytics, so when selecting a system, I find being able get deep into the numbers attracts me, as it helps us to develop more effective ways to measure quality of hire.
Can you recommend to our readers the best three books you've read on employer branding, HR or marketing?
I am a prolific reader and reading fiction is one of the main ways I relax. In terms of EB, HR or marketing though, I tend to get my information from key influencers, and as such, spend time keeping up to date with podcasts and blogs. Three of my favourites are:
Matt Aldler's Recruiting Futures podcast. Matt has a series of guests speaking to him on the future of recruiting. Great for listening to on the way to work.
Meghan M. Biro from TalentCulture. Meghan speaks about the future of work and has a live podcast on the subject every Wednesday.
Ted Bauer's The Context of Things blog. Ted is a highly entertaining writer, he makes me laugh and usually tackles topics around leadership, marketing and the future of work in a very matter of fact and common sense way.
If I had to choose a book it would be Lazlo Block's Work Rules. While not similar culturally, as an organisation, we are similar to Google in what we look for in future employees; it's useful for me to see how Google tackles talent acquisition, as we face similar challenges.
Thank you for the interview!

The Legend of Sun Knight Volume 8: Ending the Demon King, Part Two
Original novel in Chinese by: 御 我 (Yu Wo)
Eighth Shared Rule of the Twelve Holy Knights: "The Demon King is Actually the Sun Knight, shh!" – translated by Lucathia
Today is a big day. For the others, that is.
I had long since made my decision. Today was simply a matter of making the announcement, so I could carry on like usual and sleep until the sun had risen high in the sky before getting out of bed. I hadn't even planned on making any preparations beforehand.
In the corridors of the Holy Temple, I coincidentally came across Storm, Earth, and Leaf. The three of them were just about to head over to the plaza as well, so we went together.
"My dear brothers, under the guidance of the God of Light, you must have already found a child among the selection list to receive the God of Light's benevolence."
Storm glanced at me and said, "You're choosing Elaro, right? He seems a little too old. He is a full seven years older than my Shuis!"
"It's yours that is too small, not that mine is too big!"
Earth suddenly turned his head. "Yours is too big?" His lowered his gaze and mocked, "How can that be? Stop making things up!"
"…I meant, 'Elaro's age is not too big!'" I growled testily.
"Sun, elegance, elegance!" Leaf secretly pointed out the holy knights who were walking by not too far away from us. I hurriedly plastered on the Sun Knight's trademark brilliant smile, sparkling so much that those people adopted expressions of adoration and reluctantly watched us pass by.
"Fifteen is not too old?" Storm shook his head. "Sun, your bias is so obvious!"
I immediately lowered my voice and retorted, "Just who is more biased? Shuis is only seven, right? That's way off from the optimal age of ten to twelve."
"Nonsense! He's only three years off! Your Elaro is already fifteen. Isn't that way too old?"
"My Elaro is only three years off too!"
Earth watched us snidely. "One of you is calculating from age ten. The other is calculating from age twelve. You are both just as biased! But what are you fighting for? Elaro and Shuis get along just fine, don't they?"
Storm fell silent for a bit, and glumly said, "It's exactly that! They get along too well. Shuis is always saying 'Big Bro Elaro, Big Bro Elaro.' In the future, he will definitely be taken advantage of!"
Earth did not hold back at all as he concluded, "No matter what kind of teacher you are, you will produce the same kind of student. Who you choose will make no difference."
"That's true… Wait! What did you mean by that?"
"Sun." Leaf gestured ahead. "Luchi seems to be looking for you!"
Luchi? Usually, Cloud's vice-captain only comes to me for one thing…
"Knight-Captain Sun! I haven't been able to find Knight-Captain Cloud for five whole days again!" Luchi was so worried, he was nearly going crazy. The stack of documents in his hands seemed to be the files for the selection candidates.
As the years passed by, Cloud had grown less and less picky with his hiding spots. At first, he only hid away in bookcases and cabinets. But now, as long as he can squeeze inside, he will hide there!
One time, we even found him inside my secret wine cellar. That time, Luchi almost cried, as he could not find his captain. If I hadn't used my sensing ability to search for him, the Holy Temple might have misplaced its Cloud Knight.
After reeling in my sensing ability, I smiled and told Luchi, "Just now, Sun seems to have accidentally glimpsed a shadow in the third drawer of the second cupboard on the left-hand side of the kitchens."
When he heard my answer, he immediately said, "Thank you, Knight-Captain Sun." Then, he broke into a wild run, afraid that his captain would switch to a different cupboard before he arrived.
"It's nearly time." Leaf looked somewhat nervous, his hands tightly gripping his selection list. "Sun, I'll head over first. I want to secretly observe the candidates."
That's not a bad idea. After I nodded, Leaf left in a hurry. Earth glanced at me and Storm. "The two of you should at least head over and put up a pretense. Don't make people say that the decision was pre-determined by the Holy Temple."
"Of course, I will head over. Elaro is still waiting for me among the candidates."
Hearing this, Earth made a noncommittal sound. Although he hadn't chosen anyone yet, and wasn't just putting up a front like Storm and me, with his personality, he was never one to fret much over something like this. And so, he ambled along with us.
Children were everywhere at the plaza. Although most of them were waiting nervously, some were very young and their curiosity took the better of them as they ran this way and that. Some were even pestering the holy knights to let them see their swords.
In one glance, I could spot my own candidates because Elaro stood among them. He was quite conspicuous, as he was fairly tall. Even though he was only fifteen, claiming that he was eighteen would not be particularly difficult. He truly stood out a lot, standing among this crowd of ten-year-old children.
Although Elaro felt some embarrassment, he still smiled at each and every child. They seemed to think he was a holy knight and not a candidate. Several were pestering him with questions, and he answered them quite warmly.
Halfway through speaking, he raised his head and coincidentally saw me, completely forgetting my instructions to pretend like he didn't know me.
He smiled as brilliantly as the sun.
After the selections, the Twelve Holy Knights brought along the young knights they had chosen. They had all agreed to do so. Since we had chosen our young knights already, we should take a look at who we had all chosen. We shouldn't do what the previous generation had done while teaching us, not allowing us to truly get to know our companions until three, four years later.
My young Sun Knight was, of course, Elaro.
The Twelve Young Holy Knights stood in a row, looking fairly nervous. Yet, they could not help secretly glancing at each other. They were curious about what their future companions would be like.
"You all did it on purpose!" I was speechless.
Elaro stood among a group of seven and eight year old kids. He was tall. The tops of the other children's heads reached, at most, his shoulders. He was like an older brother chaperoning a bunch of preschool kids on a field trip, looking even more awkward than when he had been standing at the plaza. Most of the children there hadn't been this young!
I looked toward Judgment and said in disbelief, "You chose such a young child. Are you really able to determine if he's suitable or not?"
Judgment coldly said, "Do you think I had much of a choice?"
I fell silent for a moment, recalling the group of children who had entered the Judgment Knight selections… Each and every one of them made me want to drag them off to the Judge's Complex to beat them up first.
The one before me was indeed slightly more pleasing, but it was just… Not that I wanted to be picky, but it was just that…
"Is he really a boy? He looks like a little girl." Metal, thank you for saying what I wanted to say.
"Of course I'm a boy!" The little girl immediately grew angry and yelled, "Are you all blind?"
The little girl's temper was fairly bad. That didn't match with his appearance.
Judgment's expression darkened, and he scolded, "Hungri, you cannot be so rude to the Twelve Holy Knight-Captains!"
…Why does this name sound so familiar?
We were all stunned, but then people started snickering.
"Hungry? Are you that hungry? I have bread. Do you want it?" A child kindly asked.
Hearing this, Hungri glared at him fiercely, and then he turned his glare onto me. Judgment had on a ruthless expression, so the child would not dare say anything. But I feared that if Judgment were to turn his head, the child might pounce on me and bite me—looks like he knows who gave him his name.
So, the lesson here is, one really should not handle matters when hungry. One wrong name can become an everlasting grudge. Even though it's someone else's everlasting grudge, it really doesn't feel all that great to be glared at so ferociously.
Alright, I'm in the wrong. I'll stop picking on you.
I looked toward the other children.
"I made my decision seven years ago, and I even reported it to you!" Storm immediately said.
"Don't you feel Judge is super honest, even with the words he speaks?" Earth gestured at his child. It was the boy who had offered Hungri his bread just now.
With thick eyebrows, large eyes, a face full of confusion, and how he had said the wrong thing earlier, instead of calling him honest, "slow" might be a bit more fitting. He was truly suitable to be the Earth Knight! There was nothing I could say against… Wait! What did Earth call him just now?
"Judge is a good child!" Earth smiled an incomparably sincere smile.
You, you… totally did it on purpose, right? Is using such a method to choose your young knight really okay? Can't you be a bit more serious?
Earth glanced in another direction. "Ice's 'Absenplum' isn't bad either!"
I gazed at Ice in disbelief, but he shook his head and said, "I didn't learn of his name until after I chose him."
That means you didn't even look at the details on the selection list and just chose someone who you liked the look of when you reached the plaza, right?
The child beside him was frowning. Even though he probably didn't understand what we were talking about, he had a face full of suspicion, an expression unlike one any eight year old child should have. He seemed especially mature.
It was not unexpected that Ice would choose him. Although Absenplum's expression looked especially mature, his face was not at all mature. His cheeks were chubby, even rosy, akin to the strawberry milk bread Ice had made last time.
Is it really okay to choose him to become one of the Twelve Holy Knights, just because he looks like strawberry milk bread? And he will even be the next Ice Knight? Should I expect him to transform from strawberry milk bread to a strawberry milk popsicle in ten years?
"This isn't strange at all!" Storm tried to console me. "You gave names to a bunch of children in the city. It's not unexpected that some would get chosen!"
But I didn't give random names that often!
I looked at everyone's expressions. They didn't seem to regret choosing these children… Sigh, okay, it's not like I can stop them from choosing the children they want, right? Even I myself am biased toward Elaro. Over these past few years, I've already been treating him like my young knight. I didn't even need to wait until the selections.
"Teacher." Elaro said considerately, "Their ages are all around the same. The problem lies with me. You do not have to choose me."
I froze and then scolded, "Of course I'm choosing you! There's no possibility of changing to anyone else!"
Elaro was stunned. He hesitated for a moment but still could not help asking, "Teacher, why are you so persistent about choosing me?"
Why? Even though I was resolved to do so, I really couldn't speak of a reason—because there were truly too many.
Elaro's personality was undoubtedly gentle, yet he had been courageous enough to leave with the Demon King that year. And the reason he had left was because he could not stop worrying about the person who had saved him.
After spending time with him these past years, I gained an even deeper understanding of Elaro's personality. He was easy to get along with, but he still held firmly onto his basic principles, and he was full of radiant justice. And just like me, he was very protective. In addition, I had accidentally used farsight all those years ago and coincidentally saw this child with blue eyes and a head of blond hair…
In any case, I just know! Elaro is my young Sun Knight!
He would become the 39th generation Sun Knight, the spokesperson of the God of Light, the leader of the Holy Temple. He would lead the Twelve Holy Knights and continue the tradition of light.
I offhandedly replied, "Well, perhaps it was because of your brilliant smile!"

On Monday, police in Phoenix, Arizona, announced that they've arrested a homeless ex-convict for the June 11 murder of a Catholic priest, Rev. Kenneth Walker, and the beating of his colleague, Rev. Joseph Terra. The accused, 54-year-old Gary Michael Moran, has already spent at least eight years in jail for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and drug charges, and police say he stole a camera and car from the priests.
The story of the assault is where the tragic story gets interesting. According to police, Rev. Terra opened the door of the Mother of Mercy Mission rectory to look into noises in the courtyard when Moran attacked him and beat him with a metal rod. Injured, Terra retrieved his .357-caliber handgun from his room, but Moran allegedly took it from him and robbed Terra at gunpoint before the priest blacked out. When he woke up, Rev. Walker had been shot by Terra's gun.

Internet Stock Excel Spreadsheet
Attached is an Excel spreadsheet of Internet-focused public company stocks that is updated as of 12/31/04. I use this spreadsheet to help spot potential long/short ideas in the Internet sector. There are two other worksheets in this workbook. One sheet tracks overall industry performance, basically an index of Internet related stocks, while the second sheets tracks additions and subtractions to the universe.
In terms of recent performance, Internet stocks another great month with the average stock up a whopping 18% and the overall index up 8.4% compared to the NASDAQ's 6.2% increase.
I spend most of my time looking at software related investment ideas so I haven't added a lot of extra analysis to this spreadsheet.
The spreadsheet makes use of Microsoft's MSN Money automatic Stock price download toolbar within Excel to get current stock prices for each company. To update the prices you just hit a button. Right now you can only get basic market information via this service. Hopefully in the future you will be able to get some financial statement information.

It's ok for me that the the flag is -n.
I think that the arc script was named "arc.sh" because the folder which is used by the news server is "arc", and it would conflict. We can either take back the "arc.sh" name or change the news server's directory to something else, perhaps "www" like in the master branch.
Edit: We should also change the flag of the default program name in inferior-arc.el (line 95):
(defvar arc-program-name "arc --no-rl"
(defvar arc-program-name "arc -n"
Yeah you're right. I'm going to switch to arc.sh everywhere.
Edit 15 minutes later: all done, though the commit histories are a mess. Let me know if I missed renaming the script in any places!
You're welcome.
I'll certainly tell you if I find some references to the old "arc" name.

The Philadelphia Flyers announced today that they have recalled forward Stefan Ruzicka from the Flyers' American Hockey League affiliate, the Philadelphia Phantoms, according to club General Manager Paul Holmgren.
Ruzicka, 22, has recorded three goals and five assists for eight points and 23 penalty minutes in five games for the Phantoms this season. He leads the team in points with eight (tied for first in the AHL). In 40 regular season games for the Flyers last season, Ruzicka registered three goals and 10 assists for 13 points and 18 penalty minutes. He also posted 27 points (16G,11A) and 29 penalty minutes in 32 games for the Phantoms during the 2006-07 season.
Over parts of two seasons with the Flyers (2005-06 and 2006-07), Ruzicka has recorded three goals and 10 assists for 13 points and 20 penalty minutes in 41 regular season games. He was originally drafted by the Flyers in the third round (81st overall) of the 2003 NHL Entry Draft.

Agree or Disagree: Christians should care more about abortion.
A few years ago, a friend of mine and I were walking in the park on a nice summer day.As we were walking along, we happened to run into another friend of mine who was enjoying the summer day with a bike ride.
My friend who I was with was with was quite offended at my bikers friend's shirt. The shirt said"Abortion is Murder" and she let him know politely that she did not like it.
"Why? "The biker asked.
"Because I work in hospitals as a nurse" she said. "I've seen what these woman have gone through. And it is not an easy decision to make."
"Are you a Christian?" He asked
"I am" she said.
"Well, how can you be a Christian and not think abortion is murder" He responded.
With that,the conversation ended. We moved to continue to enjoy our summer day.
I tell this story because unfortunately, these types of conversations and mentalities happen a little too frequent in Christian circles. A Christian will bring forward what they feel is a legitimate question about abortion. The Christian who feels they are "spiritually mature" will give a flippant cliche driven "Christian" answer. Instead of offering up and opening up an intelligent discussion. Then those Christians who would not describe themselves as Pro-Life have their faith questioned. Some even question if they are Christian. Others in a moment of compassion thinks they need "discipleship"
I wonder if this mentality has closed many from actually participating one way or the other in the discussion of abortion. It is an emotional and a deeply personal issue for many. Feeling cut down for an opinion is a good way to end any participation.
I think this is why I appreciate what Rachel Held Evans says in the link I posted. This is one of my favourite quotes from the article.
For a lot of pro-lifers, it seemed, abortion was all about the baby. The woman, and the factors that might contribute to her decision to terminate her pregnancy, didn't seem to matter much.
I think the pictures of aborted fetuses on trucks, the shirts and bumper stickers reminding everyone "Abortion is Murder"has turned many Christians off from being a part of the conversation. For many Christians, this lacks grace, opens up condemnation for those who have had an abortion and feels nothing like how Jesus would respond. For others, and some Christians might be uncomfortable with this, but their salvation is not based on their opinion of abortion.
This leads me to two questions.
Do Christians actually care about the issue of abortion? Does society for that matter?
If not, should we care about the issue of abortion?

Network members will work together on two collaborative research projects. Network members and their partner police organisations will collate datasets of unsolved (linked-by-DNA) and convicted serial sexual offences/homicides. Standard protocols would be used to anonymise, code, and store data securely, and data sharing agreements will be agreed and implemented.
The datasets from each country will be collated by the Network Facilitator at the University of Birmingham. Comparative analysis of the unsolved and convicted crime series will be completed by Dr Jessica Woodhams at the University of Birmingham.
Using the same dataset, each network member will apply the statistical technique(s) for which they have particular expertise. The relative performance of the different statistical techniques will be assessed by Dr Bennell at Carleton University, Canada.

News: Government To Build 46,873 Private Affordable Houses Within Three Years
Housing and Local Government (KPKT) Minister Zuraida Kamaruddin revealed that 46,873 private affordable houses priced at below RM300,000 each, will be built within the next three years.
State-owned Menteri Besar Incorporated (MBI) Selangor will build 30,000 homes in Selangor, while 16,873 homes in other States will be constructed by 11 private housing developers on private land.
The first phase of affordable homes, with a minimum built-up area of 900 sq ft, will be constructed in strategic locations in Kuala Lumpur, Terengganu, Sabah, Selangor, Melaka, and Johor, reported Bernama.
Check out these latest project reviews today!
"Although the houses will be built on private land, the Ministry has set conditions that the property should be in major suburbs, near to basic amenities such as transport facilities and schools," said Zuraida.
"Besides, the developers are also reminded to provide complete infrastructure facilities such as swimming pools, multipurpose halls, surau and playgrounds."
She added that the Ministry is also engaging in talks to develop 15 to 20 new projects for the second phase of the private affordable housing, which is projected to be finalised by January next year.

"The toughest opponent of all is the one inside your head", Joe Henderson professional running coach. One of the most humbling, yet inspiring moments in life can be found when "self overcomes self". In first becoming triumphant in life's battles, one must face the negative voice within. When we discover helpful tools that encourage growth and positive outlooks, the giants we face look smaller. Recovery from drug and alcohol addiction is no easy feat. Kickboxing, however, can help aid the process in enormous ways.
There is something created in the atmosphere… Something that initiates a story… Something inspiring, powerful… something beautiful… Learning the art of Kickboxing is so much more than just a sport. It exercises both your health and your spirit.
"It's not just self-defense, it's about self-control, body discipline, and mind discipline and breathing techniques. It involves yoga. It involves meditation. It's an art, not a sport." -Elvis Presley
In practice, Kickboxing requires patience, endurance, and self-awareness. The results that kickboxing produces physically and mentally are truly amazing. Kickboxing can be a fundamental tool in addiction recovery.
Historically speaking, kickboxing has been around for thousands of years. Originating in eastern Asia, it has since spread and is now practiced all across the world. It has been modified and changed over the years diverging from the formal Muay Thai Boxing. What does kickboxing involve exactly? Kickboxing can be defined as "a traditional Thai martial art in which the fists, elbows, knees, and bare feet may all be used to deliver blows." Today, kickboxing is not solely a contact sport which adds a neat dimension to the practice.
Kickboxing is a learning experience. However, it is not your typical learning experience. Here at Bridging the Gaps we have implemented Kickboxing into our programming and have seen amazing results. Individuals may come broken, tired, shamed, and searching. At first, engaging in kickboxing might be met with some internal challenges. One might feel uncomfortable because they feel unfamiliar with the practice. Others may find they feel uncertain of the capabilities they possess.
Once those walls are kicked down though, you better watch out!
"The best way to pursue any discipline is the martial art way, and that's why it's been around for thousands and thousands of years. That whole idea of honor and discipline and respect, that's not there because just as a frivolous afterthought, that's there because thousands of years of training people that is really the best way to excel and be… and be great." -Joe Rogan
"It is an inspiring thing to witness. Seeing clients at the beginning of the process and how they continue to improve each week. Their form improves, their confidence improves, their "respect for self" improves. One of the greatest joys I've felt is when I see clients enjoying kickboxing. It warms my heart to see them growing so much throughout the sessions."
While Kickboxing provides a great workout for your heart and your body, while challenging your mental and spiritual game as well.
Kickboxing is a grounding experience. While there are many thoughts and to-dos that demand our attention daily, kickboxing calls one to be present. One must be present in the moment, and present in the practice. Healing happens when walls are broken down and confidence is built up.
As one of our integrative modalities, we can attest to healing and health benefits that activities such as Kickboxing bring. Restoration in life can truly begins once healthy avenues are established. Here at Bridging the Gaps, we believe in providing avenues in which clients can explore new ways of life, living, and interests that will continually go to support their recovery process.

Over £1 million has been recovered for victims of an illegal boiler room scam.
The cash has been reunited with 153 investors who lost money after they were illegally sold shares by unauthorised overseas investment firms.
The money was recovered following an investigation of two North American-based companies, Rocky Mountain Gold Mining Corporation and Rocky Mountain Gold Mining, by the Financial Services Authority.
It found that UK investors had sent about £1.25 million to North America where Rocky Mountain's operations were based. Working with Canadian regulators, the FSA managed to freeze the funds investors had sent over and paved the way for investors to receive refunds. The money recovered represents about 90% of the cash sent over by UK investors, but the FSA says more money might be refunded in the future.
Jonathan Phelan, head of department in the FSA's enforcement division, said: "This is a rare bit of good news for investors who have been persuaded to hand over money to boiler rooms as usually the money disappears without a trace."
If you bought shares in either Rocky Mountain Gold Mining Corporation and Rocky Mountain Gold Mining then you could be entitled to a refund. Although the FSA says it has tried to contact all known investors, it says some may still be unaware that the money has been recovered.
You can contact the FSA on 0845 606 1234 to find out if you are entitled to a refund.
Boiler room operations
According to scams expert Tony Hetherington, boiler rooms work byencouraging you to buy virtually worthless shares that are not tradedor unlikely to ever trade on any stockmarket in the world.
If you are contacted by boiler rooms then the FSA's advice is to hang up the phone as in most cases these investments are scams that will see your money lost forever.
But the problem is many boiler rooms use convincing sales pitches to woo investors, who don't realize they are being scammed until it is too late.
However, there are some tell-tale signs you should watch out for.
A cold-call from any company offering shares should always be avoided. This is not a normal selling tactic and nearly always indicates that things are not all they seem. It is also illegal for UK investment firms to cold-call potential customers.
Most boiler rooms are based abroad, where they are outside the remit of the FSA. If you are unsure whether a firm is UK-based or not then a simple check on the FSA's register should clear things up.
If the firm is not registered with the FSA, or does not have the authority to sell shares and investments, then do not touch them with a barge pole. Non-FSA registered firms are not covered by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme and even though some investors do manage to get their money back, most do not.
Even if you are satisfied that the firm is properly regulated, then double check the sales person who contacted you actually works there. Boiler rooms have been known to use fake company names in order to convince investors to part with their cash.
Ignore any exciting claims the boiler room makes about these shares – they are nearly always too good to be true.
If you are still unsure whether to trust a sales pitch then contact the FSA on 0845 606 1234 to get a list of all known boiler room scams.

March 14th, 2019 – Custom Consoles (www.customconsoles.co.uk) reports a successful and well-attended the Security & Counter Terror Expo (SCTX) 2019 show, held at the London Olympia exhibition centre March 5th-6th. The company exhibited its SteelBase range of control room and the latest version of the MediaWall monitor mounting system.
"Increasing use of remote cameras throughout the security and process control industries has generated greater than ever demand for multi-screen video displays," says Sales Manager Gary Fuller. "We expanded our exhibit floor space this year to accommodate an example of MediaWall and a SteelBase Lite desk in a classic CCTV supervision configuration. This attracted a lot of interest from visitors in the defence and corporate security sectors."
"There was a big focus at this year's show on the use of drones as aerial surveillance platforms. These generate even more video content which needs to be studied live or after the event. MediaWall is an ideal way to mount multiple flat-panel video display screens in any combination of sizes for side-by-side comparison of live or stored security feeds from any source. Originally developed for the broadcast industry, MediaWall has proved highly successful for technical control applications in security and process monitoring."
Custom Consoles' MediaWall allows flat-screen monitor displays of practically any width to be constructed from standard horizontal and vertical support elements. It can be used as a fully self-supporting structure or coupled directly to a studio wall. Individual screens can be positioned so that the edges meet exactly to form a continuous horizontal display limited only by the boundary of the monitor panel itself.
All wiring between components mounted on MediaWall is fully concealed and can enter or leave the structure at any desired point. Redesigned lateral support beams in the latest version allow display panels to be mounted even more easily than before. Cable management is in stronger and more attractively styled steel ducts rather than plastic. The supporting leg sides are now black instead of silver, matching the latest Custom Consoles Module-R desk styles. Media Wall is available in any specified element widths.
Built to withstand the wear and tear of the utilities and marine industries, SteelBase Lite desks are designed to ensure ergonomic efficiency particularly during a long working shift. The desks are attractively styled and built on extremely robust steel base frames with desktops surfaced in a choice of hard-wearing laminate or Marmoleum.
Additional design features of the SteelBase Lite range include hinged removable access doors, 19 inch equipment racking, heavy cable management, power distribution panels and variable-speed ventilation fans. Worktops can be configured to suit individual client requirements. All elements of the desks are guaranteed against component failure for five years of normal use. SteelBase-Lite is designed to conform to ISO9241 part 5, ISO11064 Part 4 and EN527 Parts 1, 2 and 3."
Custom Consoles Ltd is an ISO 9001 certified manufacturer of project-specific and modular broadcast, process-control and security furniture. Its product range includes motorised, manually-adjustable and fixed-height units plus fan-cooled sound-insulated equipment housings. The company operates from a 1,200 square metre UK-based production facility equipped with 3D computer-aided-design facilities, computer-controlled cutting machinery and a thermoform press.

Test Unit Ready (TUR)
The SCSI Test Unit Ready command is used to determine if a device is ready to transfer data (read/write). The device will then return either good status or a check condition
SCSI communication takes place between an initiator and a target. The initiator sends a command to the target which then responds. SCSI commands are sent in a Command Descriptor Block (CDB). At the end of the command the target returns a Status Code byte which is usually 00h for success, 02h for a Check Condition (error), or 08h for busy.
When the target returns a Check Condition in response to a command, the initiator usually then issues a SCSI Request Sense command in order to obtain more information.
To check the status of a backup device, Plug and Play sends a Test Unit Ready request to the device every second

HEy decided to make thread for this since I couldn't locate it.
Want to know how many People are famialier with this particular import Fighter Called "Phantom Breaker Extra"
A fighter available for both 350 and ps3.
An interesting Fighter that has alot of mechanics inspire from many fighter alike. You have your dial a chain attacks,dash attacks, special move, and plenty of cancel option and other more defensive stuff like clashes,parry, dodge, reflection, guard cancel, amour attack and health reg. Their even misc mechanics like OTGs, Final desperation, power up states, fatal counter, and burst to get out of hitstun.
These are all universal mechanics available to player with some limitation base on style, which is another interesting element. The game incorporate a style system that appear similar to SNK's Last blade series where you have Quick that emphasize on using speed, Hard with emphasize on power, and Extra which is hybrid of the two.
The game has 20 characters. (2 being unlocked guest character, and another 2 being ex version of preexisting characters) All which are pretty unique with failry ballance system.
But what really caught my attention in PBE is control lay out. It opts to play like simple fighter where majority of action have simple inputs. one is the the dial chain combos are similar to P4A's Auto combo with A attacks.How ever each normal attack have it own unique chain. Light chains, medium chains, and hard chains. But your also not limited by your chains as you have low attacks, dash attacks, and extra normal. A player wont get full combo of chain as some will have gaps use as low or overheads. Also special and commands still must be inputted manually.
You have special button and pressing it with conjunction with direction gives your specials. their usually only 3 commands with down special, left special, and right special, But you also have light,medium,and heavy making your move set respectively 9 for each character.
