Grand Master Greevil
Grand Master Greevil (デスゴルド Deathgold) is the Grand Master of the Cipher Organization and the main antagonist in Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness and is thought to be Evice's successor as the Leader of the Cipher Orginazation. However, it has been discovered that Evice was not the "big boss", and that Greevil was.
Greevil disguises himself as a resident of Gateon Port by the name of Mr. Verich. Acri seems to take a great intrest in him and wants to write a novel about him. He has 3 Cipher Admins in the Cipher Orginazation. Lovrina, Gorigan, and Snattle. He is the father of Admins Eldes and Ardos who are also his bodyguards. Greevil is called "Grand Master" by Eldes and Ardos. Eldes seems to dislike his father's wishes while Ardos supports them. It was his idea to create a unpurifiable Pokémon, named XD001, which is also known as Shadow Lugia. His team consists of Zapdos, Moltres, Articuno,Rhydon, Exeggutor, and Tauros, which are entirely Shadow Pokémon. After Snagging his team of 7 Shadow Pokémon, he has Swellow, Altaria, Aerodactyl, Manectric,Starmie, and Granbull with Granbull and Aerodactyl being his only Pokémon to not be prior Pokémon that could be Snagged.
He is the main antogonist in the game and is the enemy of the main character, Michael. After being defeated, he is convinced by Eldes that everything they have done is wrong and that they should disband Cipher forever.Ardos becomes angry with Eldes and escapes. It is unknown what becomes of Greevil after the incident.

World Heritage, a certification granted by UNESCO.
Salamanca is in the central area of Spain, 212 kilometres from the capital, Madrid. Universal, magnificent, wise, young and golden: this city is an inland destination well worth discovering for many reasons. Its historic centre has been designated a World Heritage Site by the UNESCO.
A centre for learning. Salamanca is the university city par excellence. Besides being one of the oldest in Europe, its university is also one of the country's best examples of Renaissance architecture. In its heyday it was one of the most highly regarded European universities. For this reason it has been attended by some of the greatest Spanish thinkers, artists and writers. In 2018 the University will celebrate its 800th anniversary with an interesting programme including cultural activities (exhibitions, plays, concerts, etc.), sports, and academic events. More information at: http://centenario.usal.es.
The City of Spanish Language. In the 15th century, Salamanca saw the production of the first Grammar of the Castilian Language, which would become an essential tool for its expansion throughout the world. The city is also a favourite destination for foreign students wanting to learn Spanish. As you would expect, Salamanca is one of the most important stops on the Route of the Spanish Language.
A historic crossroads. The Vía de la Plata (Silver Way), the old Roman road linking northern and southern Spain, passes through Salamanca. It is a good base for exploring interesting towns and villages nearby, also on the path of this ancient road, such as Guijuelo and Béjar.
A meeting point. Its humanist tradition, its open, friendly local people, its cultural interests, the wealth of its heritage... These are just a few reasons why Salamanca was European Capital of Culture in 2002.
A youthful spirit. Salamanca is rich in history, but it's also modern, lively, and fun. Thanks to the students, this city is full of life and movement 24 hours a day.
The golden city. Salamanca should be seen by day and by night, but above all at sunset. This is when the sun gives a golden hue to the stone from Villamayor used to build it centuries ago.

Salamanca For you
When it comes to culture, Salamanca is a destination not to be missed
It only tales a stroll through the streets to see the centuries of history, art and learning that have made it a universal city. Discover everything this city has to offer, renowned and lively on account of its students.
Salamanca is known as the city of thought and knowledge, but here you will also find art and beauty. Its old town has the UNESCO World Heritage designation, and is home to a magnificent ensemble of monuments, with outstanding examples of different architectural styles: Romanesque, Gothic, Baroque, Plateresque... The University, besides being one of Spain's oldest, is also one of the country's best examples of Renaissance architecture. Salamanca continues to be an important centre for cultural encounters and exchange in the present day too. In 2002 it was European City of Culture.
At the end of this page you will find a list of the city's main museums and monuments. To ensure that you do not miss anything during your stay, head for the Tourist Office, where they will give you detailed information on routes, itineraries and visits. In Salamanca you can also discover some of the most emblematic places in an original way, such as the "Ieronimus" and "Scala Coeli" exhibitions.
The "Ieronimus" exhibition will show you the Cathedral and its famous medieval towers: the route inside the building displays its 900 years of art and history. You can also get a spectacular view of the city from the top of the Anaya Terrace and Mocha Tower. "Scala Coeli" offers a breathtaking panoramic view of the city by climbing up to the Clerecía Towers.
You may be interested in
Sports lovers have their place here too
Golf and skiing are two of the activities available in Salamanca. You can also stroll through gardens with a literary feel and discover beautiful landscapes in the surrounding countryside.
Salamanca's parks and gardens are ideal to relax and enjoy the best of nature in the heart of the city. The famous Calixto y Melibea Garden is one of the most evocative: it is linked with the work La Celestina, and its plants and fruit trees will transport you to the scene of this famous classical Spanish comedy. The Fluvial, Los Jesuitas and La Alamedilla parks are other green areas ideal for a pleasant stroll.
If you prefer to be a little more active, however, then golf is one of the best options in Salamanca. Less than 15 kilometres from the city centre you will find several golf courses where you can have fun with the clubs: Golf Villamayor and Salamanca Zarapicos Golf Course. They are all attractive 18-hole courses, suited to players with a range of different handicaps.
Skiing is another sporting option in Salamanca. 70 kilometres away you will find the La Covatilla resort, in the heart of the Sierra de Béjar mountains. This is an ideal place to ski as a family, and it also has cross-country ski tracks for the fittest.
You can also have fun outdoors, hiking in the Sierra de Béjar mountains, the Batuecas Valley and the Arribes del Duero area. As you explore these areas of countryside you can discover beautiful traditional architecture in villages such as La Alberca and Miranda del Castañar, you can see fauna such as the golden eagle and the black vulture, and you can go to spectacular viewpoints like Peña de Francia.
Variety and traditional flavours
When it is time to eat, you will find variety and top-quality produce in Salamanca. Going out for tapas is the typical way to sample the specialities of each establishment.
The city has a large number of restaurants and bars, meaning you can savour all types of food: from traditional, home-style dishes, to creative and international cuisine, as well as restaurants specialising in meat, seafood and fish. It is easy to discover all this variety because many of the bars and restaurants are located around the historic centre. As far as prices are concerned, there is something for every budget.
While in Salamanca you should try typical products such as cured meats and Guijuelo ham, Armuña lentils, morucha beef, and sweets such as perrunillas (pastries) and &bollo maimón (kind of sponge). Be sure to try hornazo too. It is a pie filled with egg and other delicious ingredients (pork loin, chorizo sausage, ham...). It was traditionally eaten during Easter week, although can now be found all year round.
The art of "going out for tapas" In the centre of Salamanca you can enjoy one of the local people's favourite gastronomic customs: going out for tapas. When you go into the city's bars and taverns you will notice that, in almost all of them, when you order a drink you are also given an aperitif to go with it. This is the tapa. It is usually served whether you order it or not, because it is included in the price of the drink. This is an informal, carefree way of having a bite to eat, which also means you can sample the various specialities of each establishment. We can assure you that the most complicated thing will be choosing from the huge variety of delicious tapas on offer.
Students, businesspeople, families, groups of friends... You can find them all having tapas at any time of day in Salamanca's many bars. Plaza Mayor Square and the surrounding area is a classic area for tapas: some of the most lively, traditional bars can be found close by, such as those in Zamora, Toro, Clavel, San Pablo and San Justo streets. You can have tapas outside the old town too. A good option is Van Dyck street and the area around it, where you will find some famous taverns and there are also bars with very affordable prices.
For young people
Salamanca's nightlife is famous throughout Spain
The university students take care of making the city lively by day and by night. The options for going out at night are excellent: original bars, a variety of different atmospheres and fiesta to be had until the early hours.
Salamanca's nightlife is unusual, and, above all, very lively. There is nothing like going in search of the next bar to continue the party, walking through the streets of the old town with its stunning illuminated monuments, listening, in the background, to the cheery music of the tuna (groups of students who have been going out to sing old university songs in their traditional dress for centuries). The presence of so many students mean that there is nightlife almost every day of the week. You will also find a wide variety of options for your enjoyment: in the many pubs, bars and nightclubs you can dance to all kinds of music, hear concerts, see films, play cards, or simply have a drink in pleasant surroundings.
Many of these places are open all day, serving breakfast in the morning, drinks and aperitifs at lunchtime and coffee in the afternoon, becoming nightspots later on. If there is one thing that makes Salamanca's bars stand out, however, it is their original, detailed decor. Many are worth popping into for this alone. There are places with decor reminiscent of a university cloister, a chapel, a submarine or an old street, or others with unusual things to be seen inside such as a merry-go-round or a huge dolls' house.
The main areas for nightlife are in the historic centre: Gran Vía street; the Varillas and Plaza de San Justo Square area; the area around Plaza Mayor Square - in Bordadores, Prior, Rúa Mayor and Meléndez streets, amongst others. Here you will find some of Salamanca's most renowned and longest-running nightspots.
If there is fun and atmosphere to be found in Salamanca on almost any day of the year, then when the city's saint's day fiestas come around, things really take off. On 12 June, the feast of San Juan de Sahagún, there is a programme of celebrations including concerts, parades, fireworks and cultural activities. There are celebrations in September too, 8-21, in honour of the Virgen de la Vega. There are open-air dances, performances by traditional groups, concerts, sports events, fairs and, of course, bullfights.
With children
An ideal city for children
Salamanca offers a variety of unusual, enjoyable options for those travelling as a family.
A fun way to explore the historic centre and the city's monuments, especially for the little ones, is a ride on the Tourist Train. It departs every half hour from Plaza de Anaya and covers the main points of interest in the city centre. From the train, children can see the buildings lit up at night.
Visiting the cathedral becomes a game for all the family with the "Ieronimus" exhibition. You can explore every corner of the building and go to the top of the medieval tower to enjoy stunning views of the city. Once on the ground again, there is more fun to be had at the Puerta de Ramos doorway: look for the modern figures that restorers introduced in the lower part to replace statues that were in bad condition. To pass the test you have to find a stork, an astronaut and a monkey eating an ice-cream.
The "Machines with heart" collection is another option that children and adults alike will enjoy. Here you can see old radios and machines for making films, and you can discover how an old flour mill works. There are various exhibitions in the collection, each in a different place in the city. Admission is free. During Easter week and in summer there are also entertainment and dynamic activities organised where the information is presented in an enjoyable way. They are presented in Spanish. If you are interested in taking part you should enrol at one of the exhibition centres.
There is still more on offer: at the Automobile Museum you can discover the history of cars, admiring the hundred-or-so models on display. Neither should we forget Casa Lis. With its windows of a thousand colours, it is a place overflowing with imagination and fantasy. It is home to the Art Nouveau and Art Deco Museum, and is full of wonderful statues and multi-coloured objects, and has a collection of more than 300 porcelain dolls - the largest public display of this type in the world. Guided tours are available in English and French, although you should book in advance. If your stay coincides with the patron saint's day fiestas in June and September, you will also find ways to have fun with the children, with activities organised such as parades of "big-heads", fireworks, open-air dances, fairgrounds... Furthermore, after Easter week there is the traditional Lunes de Aguas (Water Monday - held 1st Monday after Easter Monday), where families head to the banks of the Tormes River to eat a typical hornazo (pie filled with egg and cured meats), to celebrate an old 16th century tradition.
Crafts, accessories, and much more
The historic centre is one of the most attractive shopping areas in Salamanca. In this university city par excellence, as souvenirs you can buy crafts, fashion, gourmet foods and, of course, books.
You can find some of Salamanca's most characteristic wares in more than 4,000 establishments spread around the city. Whatever you are looking for, you will find a host of items to give as presents, to keep as souvenirs, or to enjoy on your return home. You just have to choose from the many ideas to be found in the city's shops, street markets and shopping centres. Other useful information Opening times: some shops, especially the major franchises and the shopping centres, are open from 10am-9pm. Traditional shops open from 10am-1.30pm and from 5-8.30pm approximately. Sales: the winter sales generally begin in the first week of January and go on until the end of February, and the summer sales begin on 1 July and run until the end of August. How to pay: most people pay in cash or with a credit card, when you must show your passport or identity card. Tax free: residents from outside the European Union are entitled to have Value Added Tax (IVA) refunded on purchases of more than €90.15.
A special touch for business events
Salamanca's historic centre has the UNESCO World Heritage designation and is a unique setting for business meetings and events.
The city's ancient charm, with magnificent monuments, culture and its streets, overflowing with history, make this a highly attractive setting for congresses and professional meetings. You can get here by road from Madrid in a little over two hours. The city offers excellent accommodation infrastructure, as well as modern facilities, ideal for all kinds of meetings and events. The Castile-León Conference and Exhibition Centre and the University are two of the venues available for congresses. Salamanca is also outstanding for its lively, university atmosphere, especially by night, when its many bars and nightclubs open their doors.

Turkish Tomato Rice - Domatesli Pilav
From the kitchen of One Perfect Bite...Most Turkish food is mildly flavored and this lovely tomato rice is no exception. It lends beautiful color to a plate and it is a perfect foil to those dishes that are more highly spiced. It is wonderful accompaniment for Turkish meatballs, chops and kebabs. I have, of course, returned from our trip with recipes and cookbooks galore and have three possible versions of this dish on hand. I've chosen the easiest of them to share with you in order to keep translation to a minimum. Metric conversion is not the problem. Most Turkish recipes are written in the same way our grandmother's recipes were written and it is commonplace to see measurements given in forms that can bedevil an unsuspecting cook. A recipe may call for a tea cup of this or a coffee cup or glass of that. Then there is the distinction between the spoon, tea spoon, soup spoon and dessert spoon, each of which designates a unique quantity. At first, I thought it would be fun to post these recipes as they were written, but then realized the humor would be fleeting and your patience short-lived. So, I'll be translating the recipes I share with you and use measurements that you are more familiar with. Believe it or not, some of my new cookbooks actually have conversion tables to assist in this task. That's how I know a Turkish tea cup is equal to 4/5 of an American measuring cup, but only 2/3 of a British breakfast cup. I won't even go into the spoon thing because the conversion tables are contradictory. Fortunately, I brought home a complete set of Turkish spoons and will use them when there is confusion. The food makes all of this worthwhile and there are truly glories that come from the Turkish kitchen. I know those of you who try this recipe will really like this rice. Here's how it is made.
Turkish Tomato Rice - Domatesli Pilav...from the kitchen of One Perfect Bite courtesy of Neset Eren
1-1/2 cups long grain rice
Salt to taste
4 medium tomatoes, skinned and chopped
6 tablespoons butter
2-1/2 cups beef or chicken broth
Pepper to taste
1) Place rice in a bowl. Add 1 teaspoon salt and cover with hot water. Stir and allow to cool. Once it's cool, drain and set aside.
2) Cook tomatoes in butter over medium heat in a heavy saucepan, stirring occasionally until a paste forms, about 30 minutes. Stir constantly towards end of cooking to prevent tomatoes from burning. Add broth, salt, and pepper, and boil for 2 minutes. Add rice while the broth is still boiling. Stir once, then cover and cook on high heat, without stirring, for 5 minutes. Turn heat down to low, keep covered, and cook until liquid is absorbed, about 15 minutes. Remove from heat and discard tomato skins with a slotted spoon. Place a cloth napkin over saucepan, and then recover pan with lid. Let it sit, covered, for 40 minutes. Transfer to a serving dish. Yield: 6 servings.

this is an interesting post. I don't remember having any Turkish dish yet. But I'm glad to know that the ingredients for this rice are basic/common ingredients, then probably I could come up with my first Turkish dish.
Thanks for the conversions that you've made here.

Haha! Your post itself was so funny with comparison of all the different cups!
This recipe sounds very much like how we make Mexican rice, only we don't mold it like that, but I'm sure it could be done.
Looking forward to seeing what other recipes you've picked up on your travels!

Production: 238 Quad-Stacks and Counting
By: Mark Vruno
WebPress LLC reported to me at Graph Expo that it now has helped hundreds of newspaper and semi-commercial plants around the world upgrade their multicolor printing capabilities by installing its Quad-Stack 4-over-4 compact color printing units. Ideal for adding color to existing single-width, one-around press lines, the firm's Universal Printing Modules (UPMs) can be configured as one-, two-, three-, or four-high perfectors. A spacer can be added for two-web production. The low-profile footprint of less than 9 feet — less than half the height of a four-high — makes for easy additions.
The basic UPM component is a webfed offset printing unit that prints a single color on both sides of the web of paper. The UPM contains four solid stainless-steel printing cylinders: two plate and two blanket cylinders. UPMs are shaped so they can be placed one on top of the other, with each added module enabling the printing of one additional color on each side of the web. These stackable modules can be mounted above a reel stand or a base frame, according to WebPress.

Trim Size Toggle
Folder add-on enables existing presses to produce compact, sectioned broadsheets, offering high production flexibility
In the March issue of E&P, I referenced a new folding solution from East Indian press manufacturer Manugraph DGM that allows users to toggle back and forth between trim sizes ( "Broadsheet, Tabloid, or Inkjet: It's All About the Folds"). Compatible with any single-width press, the ST-40 add-on enables existing press folders to produce smaller, sectioned broadsheets at speeds up to 40,000 copies per hour (cph) — and save paper in the process. This is a compelling proposition, especially as more publishers contemplate switching newspaper formats from broadsheet to compact.
Showcased in October under the Newsprint Pavilion at GRAPH EXPO in Chicago, as well as in Germany at Manugraph's drupa show debut this past spring, the ST-40 folder produces a 15- to 18-inch-height broadsheet product with half-inch current cutoff page width (variable height and variable product capability), easily optimizing existing legacy equipment to the shorter cutoffs. It also maintains flexibility for alternative formats, allowing seamless transition from standard broadsheet, tabloids, and quarter-folded products to new sectioned tabloid products. The folder includes a slit and angle-bar section, positioned 90 degrees to the device, which folds the web into a Berliner or compact-sized product (also see E&P December 2011). The ST-40 can produce two to five sections with variable page counts in all sections.
Additionally, the DGM ST-40 applies to the entire installed base of 4×2, 2×2, and 2×1 presses and doesn't require a plate conversion on 2×1 or 2×2 configurations. Production speeds are substantially increased, as two-around presses can run straight and produce the same capacity as running collectively. Single-width users can double their capacity, because each ribbon becomes a web (two ribbons per web), allowing 64 per page per four-section broadsheet with no new tower additions required.
"We're finishing the last pieces of the design and are ready to build a prototype," president Dave Moreland told the American Association of Independent News Distributors earlier this year, adding that Manugraph DGM is looking for a newspaper partner to test and evaluate the folder. "There is a lot of interest, but it's still difficult to find someone who will take the step. The Columbus (Ohio) Dispatch project is good news for us."
The ST-40 could be installed in conjunction with a press' existing folder, allowing printers to diversify their offerings, Moreland said. "They will be able to go back and forth, and this will give them one more format," he said.
First M360 presses ordered
Manugraph India Ltd. has announced two orders for the M360 press introduced earlier this year at drupa. Both orders come from South American countries. Araucária Industria e Editora Ltd., located in Lages, Santa Catarina, Brazil, purchased one four-high tower with one auto-paster and a 6-web F122 jaw folder. The M360 is replacing a Solna D-30 and will print a 7,000 circulation daily newspaper (Correio Lageano) in addition to other semicommercial print jobs in the Santa Catarina market. Also, J.P. Belga e Thome Ltd. purchased two four-high towers with two manual unwind stands and a 6-web F122 jaw folder. The company was recently created by the owners of Tribuna do Interior (located in Campo Mourao) and Tribuna do Cianorte (located in Cianorte) to print its own newspapers and other third-party publications in the state of Paraná.

PrintCity Workshop in Brazil
More than 30 members of the Associacão Nacional de Jornais (ANJ) attended a joint workshop meeting organized by PrintCity in Porto Alegre, Brazil, in September. Following an introduction to the Brazilian market by ANJ executive director Ricardo Pedreira, the main session was led by PrintCity Alliance members manroland web systems, Océ and Trelleborg.
The workshop focused on new business models and opportunities for newspapers in Latin America, plus an update on the latest lean and green industry thinking. After the meeting, a tour of the press facilities at Zero Hora was followed by a dinner. A series of interactive presentations and audience discussions included these topics:
- Green and Lean — mutually dependent objectives
- New possibilities with digital printing solutions and offset/digital combinations
- Protecting investment in installations
- Web printing
- Newspaper innovations
"Our ANJ members found the workshop with PrintCity members very useful and productive," Pedreira said. "Sharing information, opportunities, and samples about value-added printing, press productivity, and lean and green good practice created a very positive discussion and learning experience for all."
PrintCity Alliance members work together with local organizations and partners in Latin America, Europe, and elsewhere to share their combined cross-industry knowledge at targeted events, seminars, and workshops. For more information, email email@example.com.

Malaysian Newspaper Upgrades
Goss Intl. has launched a comprehensive press controls upgrade program for Sin Chew Media Corp., publisher of the Sin Chew Daily in Malaysia. The project involves installation of new hardware and software systems to deliver the latest capabilities from three existing Goss Universal presses at the publisher's plant in Kuala Lumpur and from another Universal press in Johor. The four presses being upgraded each comprise eight four-high towers, one folder, and eight reelstands.
The turnkey upgrade project involves replacing existing proprietary press controls with industrial open systems. This includes the replacement of printing unit electronics with latest-generation Goss print-quality modules to control register, dampening, and inking. PLC automation systems and networking are being replaced with the latest industry-standard ethernet-based systems. Four new combined consoles per press will manage all aspects of print control, including production planning, CIP3/JDF-compliant presetting, soft proofing, monitoring, and job reporting.
Completion of the project will see automation of all press auxiliary systems, including reelstands and web tension controls, integrated into one system, providing pressroom workers with new levels of operational convenience and flexibility. Via a standard ethernet network and remote input/ output controls at the units, the entire press will also be supported by a remote diagnostics service, enabling Goss technicians to provide Sin Chew Daily with round-the-clock assistance.
"The new electrical architecture is designed for low maintenance with redundancy of the existing systems and components as required," said Stéphane Jaunasse, Goss Intl. customer service manager. "With every aspect of the press production embedded into and driven by one open and accessible system, the 12-year-old Universal presses will be upgraded to a modern, user-friendly, high-quality printing solution, providing all the capabilities the company requires for its clients' diverse range of production demands."
With work already under way, Goss is working in close cooperation with Sin Chew Media and other suppliers in managing the project to ensure minimal disruption at the plant and uninterrupted production throughout.
Operating Goss presses at six locations across Malaysia, Sin Chew Daily is the largest circulating Chinese language newspaper in Southeast Asia and the largest Chinese daily outside mainland China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan. With a circulation audited last year at 465,894 copies and a readership of 1,300,000 people, the daily broadsheet has become highly influential in the Malaysian media landscape, covering current affairs, business and finance, sports, lifestyle, and regional interests.
According to Sin Chew Daily group general manager Peter Ng Kait Leong, confidence in Goss was crucial to the decision to invest. "We have had a long-term positive experience with Goss equipment, and the team from Goss Intl. understood our current requirements very well. They have come up with a solution that allows us to eliminate components as they become obsolete, while providing a growth path for any necessary future additions. We're very confident of having chosen precisely the right package to modernize and enhance our capabilities to see us through the next 10 years of production from our existing Universal press."
The investment by Sin Chew Media is the second such major press controls project in close succession for the Goss Lifetime Support team in Malaysia. In May, Star Publications chose Goss to retrofit three Colorliner presses, originally installed in 2002, with a complete new control system.

At the same time, starting a new thread for every variation of a topic theme gets a little tedious and annoying. It's hard to know when to start a thread and when to post something which is related, but not exactly on topic to an existing thread. Hopefully moderators toss out off-topic posts on a regular basis and combine threads as necessary.
I know that wildrose and cactuspete do a good job as moderators. As the number of posts increases good moderation becomes more and more important.
