Yowamushi Pedal follows a scrawny little otaku named Onoda Sakamichi who just entered Sohoku High School. He is excited to join his school's anime club, but is shocked to learn that it was disbanded due to lack of members. So Onoda desperately tries to recruit people to re-open the club, but no one wants to join him. One day while riding up a steep hill that leads into the school that normally only the members of the school's cycling club take due to its extreme incline, Onoda is spotted by another freshman named Imaizumi Shunsuke. Imaizumi is befuddled by Onoda being able to ride the hill on a basic "mommy bike" and decides to challenge Onoda to a bike race with the condition that if Onoda wins Imaizumi will join Onoda's anime club despite not being an anime fan.
Unfortunately for Onoda, he barely loses, so Imaizumi doesn't join his club, but the two do start a friendship and the captain of the cycling team gains an interest in having Onoda on the team. After some convincing by Imaizumi and another freshman cycling friend of Onoda's named Naruko Shoukichi, Onoda joins Sohoku's cycling team and makes it his goal to race in the summer Inter-High race with Imaizumi and Naruko. Is Yowamushi Pedal surprisingly ahead of the curve, or is it a bike without a chain?
Turns a "Boring" Sport Into Addicting and Tense Action
I'll admit that I am in no way, shape, or form a major fan of cycling. I mean I like casually riding a bike, but watching a cycle race is one of the most boring sporting events to me. Yowamushi Pedal completely flips that around for me. The entire time during each of the races in this show I was huddled on the edge of my seat in a big ball of tension as my eyes remained glued to the screen as I watched the action play out in front of me. This is greatly aided by the amazing music in this series. From the opening theme songs to the background soundtrack, the music in this show would constantly hype me up. To top it all off, there are times where this show is genuinely emotional. I can't believed I got punched in the feels by a sports anime, but well, there you have it.
Masters of the Cliffhanger
Whoever planned where each episode ended in relation to the source material was a freaking genius. An evil genius, but a genius nevertheless. I say this because nearly every episode of Yowamushi Pedal ends on a cliffhanger, and it always happens at the peak of excitement. This made me immediately want to watch the next episode. This was rather painful watching each week because I knew I had to wait another week for my next dose of Yowamushi Pedal. Needless to say I think this makes the show really easy to marathon.
Great Cast of Eccentric Characters
To me the sport in a sports anime is actually one of the least important things. A sports anime needs a great cast of memorable characters for it to really shine. For example, I don't care about volleyball, but I am loving Haikyuu!!, or I only have a marginal interest in baseball, but I am addicted to Ace of the Diamond. Thankfully the same applies to Yowamushi Pedal, which is filled with memorable, and slightly unhinged (Or fully unhinged in the case of one character that I'll get to later) characters. However probably the best pair of characters in the show are.....
Andy and Frank
Andy and Frank are the names for the pectoral muscles of one of the ace sprinters for Sohoku's rival school Hakone Academy named Izumida Touichirou. For the record Andy is his right pectoral and Frank is his left pectoral. And to make things better, they are seemingly sentient beings, as they'll individually twitch as early warning signs for Izumida.
Bromances EVERYWHERE
Several of the characters in this show, particularly those on Sohoku's and Hakone's teams have strong bromances. At first it began by just showing us the budding bromance betwen Onoda, Naruko, and Imaizumi. But then it began to spread by showing us how close the broship between the other Sohoku riders are, then we got some bromances between Sohoku riders and Hakone riders, and then lastly some bromances between the Hakone riders. Point is, the broships are strong in this series and it is kind of easy to see why this show has taken off so strongly amongst female anime fans in Japan, there is admittedly a lot of potential shipping material here.
Hilarious After Credit Stingers
After the end credits of every episode there is a brief stinger skit. The majority of them are comedy gold and give us great additional details to the characters in the show as we get to see some more candid depictions of the characters. In addition to the stingers there are some rather funny end cards at the ends of many of the episodes.
The Power of Anime Songs
Onoda's favorite anime of all time is a magical girl show called Love Hime that is an anime within an anime. He loves it so much he knows the entire opening theme by heart. This song also serves as a kind of power up for Onoda because whenever he gets into a pinch in a race, he likes to sing the song aloud and then he starts kicking ass. Admittedly, the song is rather catchy. Here, listen to it for yourself:
More Realistic Than Most, but Still Unrealistic
For the most part, Yowamushi Pedal does stay relatively grounded in realism. However it does still pull out a few reality stretching abilities for some of the riders. It never fully breaks the immersion, but it did on occasion make me go, "Wait, really guys?". That being said, even many of the questionable thing still seem like they are just exaggerations of realistic things.
Midousuji Akira
Take a good look at that picture above. That is probably the least creepy Midousuji gets in this series. He is the ace and leader for Kyoto Fushimi, the third primary school in this series so far. He also serves as an antagonist, in reality the only actual antagonist in this series to date. And he gives me the heebie jeebies. He has extremely discomforting expressions, mannerisms, and features and he literally has his own creepy ass background music. To top it off he is sadistic as all hell. One time when he was racing Imaizumi in middle school he told Imaizumi his mother died simply so he could gain a psychological advantage over Imaizumi. So why is he simply under "Not Bad"? Because he's just so damn great to cheer against. He's the only antagonist in the series and he serves that role perfectly. I couldn't cheer against the Hakone guys because I grew to like them. But Midousuji? Nothing prevents me from backing whoever is taking him on.
I know full well that I praised the show earlier for being a master of the cliffhanger, and well it still is. The problem is that it is too damn good at cliffhangers. You see, even the final episode of this season ends on a cliffhanger. So there will be no resolution to this season's main arc until the second season starts in October. You think it was bad waiting a week for a new episode? Try having to now wait three months for the conclusion to air. It is going to be a very rough wait for me.
Cliffhanger ending to this season be damned, Yowamushi Pedal has still been one of the most exciting rides I have ever experienced with anime. I went into the show with extremely low expectations thinking, "A cycling anime? Really, guys?", but was instantly blown away from the beginning and can quite honestly say it is easily one of my favorite anime series around, certainly one of the most purely entertaining ones. And the best part is it isn't even over yet. I greatly anticipate the second half to this series and I highly recommend this show to anyone who likes fun, tense action.

I am curious if anyone would be interested in a e-book that focuses on 2D game development in OpenGL/GLUT. It would pretty much focus on primitive shapes to tile-based games, 2D collision, perhaps a few case examples of arcade games, etc. Yes, Bubba, with hardware-acceration. The reason why I thought about it is because it seems like there are no books on this subject when it comes to OpenGL. Beginners are often learning 3D first these days with it instead of learning how to build simple games like Asteroids or Pong. There are some obvious ways of learning how its done after learning 3D after a while, but a book that focused on nothing but 2D would be pretty interesting and probably less complex, meaning a focus on two demensions instead of three. In fact, I too had to learn OpenGL through 3D first and I later found a japanese website to find my information for making animation with sprites.
If it sounds interesting, I would like to hear about any topics that you might want to see in it. If anyone has games they have done in OpenGL in 2D and would like it to be included with the book for playing and viewing your open-source code, it could also help the beginner so there are several different views and methods for doing 2D work. Opinions are definitely welcome.

Gomes delivers in pinch with blast to best KC
Bogaerts' two-run jack helps set stage for comeback in decisive sixth
BOSTON -- Jonny Gomes was ready and waiting with two outs in the sixth inning, and manager John Farrell saw no need to save his pinch-hit specialist for later in the game.
And as he's done numerous times over his two seasons in Boston, Gomes came through.
His two-run homer to center put the Red Sox in front, and fueled them to a 5-4 victory over the Royals on Friday night at Fenway Park.
It was the second pinch-hit homer of the season for Gomes, and his sixth since joining Boston for the start of the 2013 season.
For Gomes, the opportunity came about when Royals manager Ned Yost pulled righty starter James Shields and brought in lefty Scott Downs to face Jackie Bradley Jr.
"For me, that's the opportunity I have to feast on," said Gomes, who batted for Bradley. "Knowing they've got two lefties in the bullpen, that at-bat technically started at about 2 o'clock for me today. That's the opportunity and when my number's called on, I have to feast on the opportunity."
And yes, Yost admitted it was a move he'd like to have back.
"I gambled and lost right there," Yost said. "We get all this information. They pinch-hit one time in the last few days in the seventh inning, a bunch in the eighth and the ninth. I wasn't sure they were going to do it in the sixth. I gambled right there -- a bad decision."
The only player in Red Sox history with more pinch-hit homers is the late, great Ted Williams, who clubbed seven over his 19-year career.
"Go ahead and get it out there, I'm not chasing any of Ted Williams' records," Gomes said. "I'm just extremely fortunate and lucky, and grateful for the opportunity to wear the same uniform that guy wore. Individual records don't matter. I'm here trying to collect championships."
Boston trailed, 4-1, heading into its half of the sixth. Xander Bogaerts cut the deficit to one with a two-run blast to center against Shields earlier in the inning.
It was a significant moment for Bogaerts, who had been in a prolonged slump before the All-Star break. The homer was his first extra-base hit since June 13.
"Hopefully this gives him a chance to breathe a little bit," Farrell said. "It's the first extra-basehit in a while and hopefully it allows him to see some of the work he's been doing pregame, and the video work and the countless conversations with [hitting coaches Greg Colbrunn and Victor Rodriguez]. To see it play out with a timely home run should be a boost for him."
Stephen Drew kept the momentum going by hammering a ground-rule double to right-center. After David Ross struck out for the second out, Yost made the move he'd regret just moments later, bringing on Downs.
Gomes worked the count to 2-2, before scorching one over the wall in center.
"When you sit back and analyze it after the fact, which is a lot easier to do than before the fact, it was the wrong move," Yost said. "Gomes makes a living off of left-handed pitchers coming in like that and it was just a bad decision on my part on three or four different levels. I should have stuck with Shields to get us through that inning. He was at 111 pitches [actually, 112], Bradley was 0-for-2 off him, and I just outsmarted myself."
For the Red Sox, it was an uplifting win coming out of the All-Star break, and the fifth win in the last six games.
"I mean, before the break and first day after the break, our goal hasn't changed," Gomes said. "Our goal is still win the [American League East] division and win that last game of the year. Our goal hasn't changed one bit here. Obviously, we understand the date and obviously, we understand that we dug ourselves a hole a little bit, but we're not trying to turn the corner by any means. We're trying to win as many games as we can."
Clay Buchholz, coming off a shutout against the Astros just five days ago, didn't have his best stuff in this one.
The righty went six innings while allowing 10 hits and four runs. He walked none and struck out three, and wound up getting the win.
With Buchholz winning the last two games the Red Sox have played, the righty became the first Boston starting pitcher since Don Schwall in 1961 to pull off that feat.
"I gave up some loud outs and some loud hits for the first couple of innings, but that's another team that swings the bat, and they put some balls in play that found some holes and led to a couple of runs," Buchholz said. "The way the guys fought back tonight … that was reminiscent of last year."
Since coming off the disabled list, Buchholz is 3-1 with a 3.28 ERA.
Much like Buchholz has looked better of late, the Red Sox hope they are ready to turn it around as a team.
"Well, we felt as we talked about before the game, we had some momentum going into the break," Farrell said. "The energy has been outstanding. That was the case again tonight and Jonny is seemingly in the middle of it on a number of occasions. But to start off, I can't say the second half, because we're far behind the halfway point, but coming out of the break, to get a win under our belt in this fashion continues to give us a boost."

What the poor suffer from most happens in developed countries
Submitted by Anonymous on
While rarely talked about, Neglected Tropical Diseases are the most widespread ailment among the world's poorest of the poor – yet also ironically the most prevalent in top global economies, experts say.
Neglected Tropical Diseases (NTDs) are "the most important diseases you've never heard of. These are the most common afflictions of the world's poor," Peter Hotez, MD, PhD, told CNA Nov. 11.

Rumors Audi product, spied test mules, and prototypes.
Earlier this week we'd posted a story linking a Volkswagen Group chassis architecture guide published last week by Georg Kacher over at Automobile. Kacher's submitted another piece this week about the Porsche 551 - the so-called "Baby Boxster" that was slated to be a corporate cousin of the proposed Audi R5.
Kacher's got new details on
On again. Off again. On again. Off again. When last we heard intel on the much-rumored and much-lusted-for mid-engine Audi R5 (rendered above and proposed baby brother to the R8), the project was dead... done... kaput. Now the often extremely well connected Georg Kacher has published his latest Deep Dive column in Automobile Magazine and the piece says otherwise.
Here's an interesting take on the next-generation (MQB) RS 3 as rendered by Theophilus Chin. This image, based on a 3-door A3, takes elements from the recent Audi RS Q3 Concept and less recent Audi A1 quattro to make for one very mean-looking render. We love what we see here.
So How Accurate Is It?
From our experience with Audi, this isn't very accurate... no matter how cool we think
Our spy photographer sources have just sent us over a new set of shots of the R8 e-tron test mule of which a few photos surfaced yesterday. Photographers tell us this mule rounded the Ring quite quietly though we're checking to see if it was employing any of the e-sound elements that Audi defined recently.
Obvious e-tron design cues such as those on earlier
Greg Kable has filed a most interesting report over at AutoCar. The report involves intel on a new engine - namely a new 3.0-liter twin turbo V6. The new engine will feature twin sequential Borg Warner turbochargers and air-to-air intercooler system and internal upgrades that will result in a power output in the neighborhood of 370 bhp and 400 lb ft. The engine will be paired with
Autoblog has posted a story this week that includes at least two sets of spy photos of the upcoming facelifted R8. One set shows a black coupe and the other (partially seen above) shows a grey roadster.
In the shots you can plainly see changes to the nose, headlights, taillights and more. Shots are consistent with changes like the round R8 GT style exhaust tips standard on all models of R8 going forward. Engine
We've got a new set of Q5 spy photos from our spy photographer sources and these latest shots reveal new details. What you see here is what appears to be a non S-line version with very little disguise. Look closely and you can clearly see the hexagonal grille with no fake framing and what appears to also be the new lighting clusters with solid LED style housings.
We covered the potential purchase of Ducati by Audi story when it first broke over on CAR Magazine's website. The author was Georg Kacher, a usually reliable source who also contributes to the American buff Automobile Magazine. Kacher has since published another piece over on Automobile with some further details of the situation so we're
Two photos (one above, one via the link below) surfaced this week of what is purported to be the interior of the R8 e-tron. If that is the case (and we're guessing it is), then this begs the question of how much of these changes will also be seen in the new and facelifted audi R8 when it debuts likely at the Paris Motor Show in September.
What Do We See?
The most obvious change here is a much bigger
Automobile Magazine has published a report today from European contributor Georg Kacher - a journalist with contacts on the board level at Audi who is often privy to Audi plans early in gestation. When we catch a far-out rumor from Kacher, we often read it with interest since it speaks to the thought patterns of the Audi board though doesn't always


text: Commentary on Psalm 138:1-8 Rolf Jacobson | 0 CommentsFacebook-twitter-g+-LinkedIN-EmailPrint This psalm of thanksgiving -- one of those songs that was composed after its author had come through a rather tight scrape -- offers praise to the Lord in response to an experience of deliverance.1The poet had experienced what the psalms call "a day of trouble" (see Psalms 20:1, 27:5; 41:1), a "day of disaster" (see Psalm 18:19), or a "day of distress" (see 59:17) -- some really tough times. The term "day of trouble" is intentionally vague. It can refer to times of physical illness, spiritual struggle, financial peril, military threat, and the like. The psalms also call these times of crisis a "day when I call" (56:10; also a more literal translation of 20:9), because times of crisis are also times of prayer -- moments when a suffering person or people "cry out" to the Lord in despair. On the day I called ... And that is the point that is made in this psalm. The singer says, "On the day I called, you answered me." Having come through the time of trouble -- or, more correctly, having been brought through the time of trouble by the grace of God -- the singer now thinks of the dark valley through which he walked no longer as the time of trouble, but as the time when he called out and when God answered. The time when "you increased my strength of soul." [The phrase that is translated "my strength of soul" in the NRSV is likely to be misinterpreted by modern audiences. We often think of "the soul" as the spiritual part of our being. The Hebrew term that is usually translated as "soul" is nephesh. The term literally means "throat" and more figuratively means one's "true self" or "inmost being." The NIV ("you made me bold and stouthearted") and NJPS ("you inspired me with courage") take the term to refer to a spiritual or moral strengthening. But the phrase more likely refers to a literal bodily recovery. The psalmist's point might be paraphrased: "I once was weak, but now I'm strong." I give you thanks, O Lord ... The psalmist's passage through the time of crisis had quite literally, in the words of Psalm 40:3, put a new song in his mouth. Or, in the words of Psalm 51:15, the Lord had opened his lips so that his mouth could declare God's praise. And so the psalmist does so. He begins his song with what are classic words of praise: "I give you thanks, O Lord, with my whole heart." The Hebrew word (a hiphil of the verb yadah) that is translated "give you thanks" does not properly equate to our English word "thanks." The verb yadah means "to know." So in the hiphil, which here has a causative sense, the verb means "to cause someone else to know." In other words, the verb should probably be translated as "teach" or "make known." Or, as the Old Testament theologian John Goldingay has translated the term, "to confess."2 In other words, "giving thanks" Old Testament-style, has less to do with some internal feeling of gratitude and more about sending God a thank you note. And the thank you note that God desires is to tell others what God has done. To proclaim the good news of God's gracious actions to the assembly of believers, to the surrounding neighborhood, and to the world. The scope that the Lord has in mind for our confessing of the good news, for our making the Lord known, is the entire world, even the entire universe. The psalm says "all the kings of the earth" shall know and shall join in praise. And the psalm in verse 1 says "before the gods I sing" -- meaning that psalmist imagines the vaults of heaven themselves resounding with his "confession" about what God had done for him. Your name and your steadfast love ... There are two things that the psalm confesses. The first has already been mentioned -- that the psalmist experienced God's help in the midst of some crisis. The psalmist called out in the day of trouble, the day of calling, and the Lord answered. Or, as the psalmist describes it in verse 7, the Lord preserved him from the wrath of enemies: "you stretched out your hand, and your right hand" delivered me. In other words, the psalmist confesses a particular experience of God's grace. The second thing that the psalmist proclaims is more abstract -- she proclaims the character of God. Notice the following confessions: "I. . . [confess] your steadfast love and your faithfulness, for you have exalted your name and your word above everything" (verse 2) "great is the glory of the Lord" (verse 4) "Your steadfast love, O Lord, endures forever" (verse 8) The psalm uses a group terms, which together describe the character of God -- "glory" and "your name" and, most importantly, "steadfast love" and "faithfulness." The reference to God's name can be confusing for modern audiences. In Old Testament thought, God's "name" is more than just the "handle" that God goes by. It is God's very identity -- and, by extension, God's very presence. To praise the Lord's name is both to acknowledge who one trusts, but it is also claim God's presence. When one speaks the name of the Lord, one claims the relationship that one has with God -- and, indeed, when one speaks God's name one makes known that one is in God's presence. An even more important concept in the psalms is that of the Lord's "steadfast love" and "faithfulness." If one were to boil down the theological witness of the Book of Psalms to one phrase, it would be this: The Lord is faithful. The two terms -- steadfast love (Hebrew, hesed) and faithfulness (Hebrew, 'emet) -- describe God's character. It is a character that is trustworthy, which means that the promises God makes can be trusted. Which means that the laws that God ordains are good. Which means that the guidance and providence that the Lord offers are better for us in the long run than our own wills for our own lives. One final note. The psalmist's experience of God's help has reminded her that she is not the captain of her own soul, that he is not the master of his own fate -- and that this is a good thing! Some people reject the offer of help from outside themselves, because they do not want to be weak, to need help, or to admit their limits. Biblical faith starts with admitting our own weakness, our own sin, our own limits -- and of accepting the gracious mercy and fidelity of the Savior who comes among us to serve rather than to be served. The psalm ends with a request for continued help: Do not forsake the work of your hands. Each of us is the work of God's hands. And to be a follower of the Lord means to know that we cannot and need not do it all on our own. Notes 1 Commentary first published on this site on Aug. 21, 2011. 2 See John Goldingay, Psalms, Vol. 3: 90-150 (Grand Rapids: Baker, 2008), 753. Here Goldingay writes that "confession is a matter of words" (617).Rolf Jacobson | 0 CommentsFacebook-twitter-g+-LinkedIN-EmailPrint

The Seattle Psychoanalytic Training Center was established in 1946. In 1964, the Seattle Psychoanalytic Society & Institute (SPSI) gained independent status with the Institute of the American Psychoanalytic Association. SPSI is one of 33 educational institutes approved by the American Psychoanalytic Association (APsaA).
Standards established by APsaA direct the policies of SPSI as they relate to eligibility for training, the minimum requirements for graduation, and prerequisites for certification in psychoanalysis.
These principles and standards ensure consistency as well as high quality of psychoanalytic education among all constituent Institutes. They are continually revised and updated and provide a uniform baseline for psychoanalytic education.
SPSI is a not-for-profit corporation governed by a Board of Directors. All matters pertaining to psychoanalytic training are the responsibility of the Faculty.
