Editor's note: This piece is part of a series of "city smackdowns" pitting rival cities against each other and letting you decide which one's best. Read the story below and its counterpart defending Detroit, vote in the poll, then visit CNN iReport to share your tips and photos for Philadelphia and Detroit.
(CNN) -- Growing up in rural northeast Pennsylvania, the Philadelphia of my childhood was like the Moscow of Chekhov's "Three Sisters" -- the promised land, an emergency exit from my semi-provincial life in Wilkes-Barre.
During school trips to see the Liberty Bell or Constitution Hall or the art museum, Philadelphia unfolded like a weird and wonderful tapestry of U.S. history, spanning the colonial era through the post-industrial age.
This is the city that gave us Benjamin Franklin, Margaret Mead and Noam Chomsky. It's a town unashamed of the working-class grit that bleeds through the cracked sidewalks of every neighborhood, from Germantown to South Philly to Mantua.
People who move to Philly find a je ne sais quoi that's mostly alien to those used to the cloistered wealth of every other coastal city besides Baltimore. It's a city of doers, of hustlers; from the manic suit racing past the glass-and-granite facades of the financial district to the guy scrapping up and down Broad Street with a cart of bootleg DVDs.
City Smackdown: Explore Detroit beyond the headlines
It's also dirty, noisy and people there are gruff as hell (in an endearing way!). There is a reason why the show isn't called "It's Always Sunny in Boston."
I moved to Philly for two years after high school, and the short time I spent there was enough to leave an indelible mark on my memory. I make a point to go back whenever the opportunity presents itself.
Sooner or later, like an earworm, the city burrows its way inside your brain and lays eggs: Your first bite of an authentic Philly cheesesteak. An afternoon walk across the sun-dappled grasses of Fairmount Park. Frolicking in the fountain at Logan Square. Tailgating at Lincoln Field before an Eagles game.
Destination USA: Passion for Portland triumphs
One day, you look down the Ben Franklin Parkway from the top of the art museum steps, and it hits you: The glittering spires of downtown are more than just skyscrapers. They're almost an act of rebellion, a defiant kiss-off to the collapse of industry that devastated the rest of Pennsylvania and saw the population of Philly shrink by a quarter.
Philly is so, so much more than the sum of its touristy trappings. It's a city of stories, a journalist's dream. I've played chess in Rittenhouse Square with grizzled old men who regaled me with tales of how mobsters and rum-runners ruled the streets during the Great Depression. I've chatted up the ex-communist who ran a newsstand on Spring Garden and told me stories of Philly's bygone days as a hotbed of revolutionary-socialist activism.
The neat, orderly checkerboard arrangement of the city's streets only belies the turmoil and raw action bubbling underneath the surface.
Philadelphia is called the "city of brotherly love," but that's a little bit misleading. The city's spirit of fraternal camaraderie springs from its long-running status as a place for cast-offs, misfits and folks who didn't (or couldn't) fit in anywhere else. Philly chose us as much as we chose it.
NYC vs. L.A.: And the winner is ...
The Pennsylvania State House was the epicenter of America's revolt from British rule. At the dawn of the 19th century, the city was the temporary U.S. capital while Washington was being built. Irish immigrants fled their homeland by the thousands during the Great Famine, and Philadelphia was one of their main ports of call. Freed African-American slaves on the Great Migration out of the post-Confederate South increased Philly's black population sevenfold in the space of a few years.
And today, it's a hub for thinkers, artists and weirdos of every stripe, thanks to the comparatively low cost of living (especially in the long shadow cast by New York), and the city's status as a hub for financial services and information technology.
Philadelphia is, putting it mildly, the ultimate underdog city: Part Rocky, part Will Smith, all heart. If you ever have the pleasure of visiting, see the Italian Market and cruise the banks of Schuylkill River on Kelly Drive, for sure. But take some time just to walk and observe and listen.
You won't want for entertainment in Philadelphia -- it's all around you.

EQUATOR-S Spacecraft
Latest News
EQUATOR-S is a low-cost mission designed to study the Earth's equatorial magnetosphere out to distances of 67000 km and it forms an element of the closely-coordinated fleet of satellites that comprise the IASTP program. It is based on a simple spacecraft design and carries a science payload consisting of advanced instruments that were developed for other IASTP missions. Unique features of EQUATOR-S are its nearly equatorial orbit and its high spin rate. It was launched as an auxiliary payload on an Ariane-4 on December 2nd, 1997. The mission is intended for a two-year lifetime.
The idea of an equatorial satellite dates back to NASA's GGS (Global Geospace Science) program originally conceived in 1980. When the equatorial element of the program was abandoned in 1986 and several subsequent attempts to rescue the mission had failed, the Max-Planck-Institut für extraterrestrische Physik (MPE) decided in 1991 to fill this gap in the GGS (and in the international IASTP) program because of its interest in the global magnetospheric science, and because it provided an opportunity for a test of an advanced instrument, EDI, to measure electric fields with dual electron beams. The realization of EQUATOR-S was possible through a grant from the German Space Agency DARA (meanwhile part of DLR), that was approved in late 1994, but also through MPE-internal funds and personnel.

Gulf Air honours Bahraini trainee engineers
Manama, July 1, 2012
Bahrain's national carrier Gulf Air honoured 28 trainee engineers on the successful completion of their two year on-the-job-training with the airline.
This is the second group of candidates which has completed its two-year training with Gulf Air. The voluntary training was provided as part of the airline's Corporate Social Responsibility programme to develop local talents, said a statement from Gulf Air.
Gulf Air CEO Samer Majali congratulated the trainees at a special ceremony held at Gulf Air Headquarters in the presence of Mohammed Khalil Abdulla Alawainati, Nadia Al Gosaibi and Ali Hussain Al-Balooshi from BAS, also Abber Al Matooq from Tamkeen.
Presenting the credentials to the trainees, Majali said, "I am pleased to see the second batch of bright and young Bahrainis completing their training at Gulf Air. The training reinforces our commitment to developing Bahraini talent and I am glad that the national carrier has joined hands with Tamkeen in providing this valuable training opportunity."
"I am sure the intensive training you received in various units of Gulf Air's technical and engineering departments has prepared you well with necessary technical skills, knowledge and practical experience to have a successful career," he noted.
The trainees came to Gulf Air after completing their initial theoretical training at Bahrain Airport Services (BAS). The training programme was sponsored by Tamkeen.
Gulf Air had signed a MoU with Tamkeen to provide on-the-job-training for a group of trainee engineers for a period of two years in order to complete the technical requirements for graduating as certified engineers.
This is a 4-year programme in which candidates undergo two years of theoretical studies with BAS followed by two years' practical training at Gulf Air.-TradeArabia News Service

LONDON — Under mostly gentle but persistent questioning from curious British Members of Parliament, Bank of England governor-designate Mark Carney testified Thursday that he has no interest in a career in Canadian politics and that his controversial "pay package" of nearly $1.3 million for his new job is reasonable.
"If I had political ambitions, I would have pursued them in Canada," the current governor of Canada's central bank told the 13 MPs on the Treasury select committee during more than three hours of testimony. "I do not have political ambitions."
An invitation from Labour MP Teresa Pearce to elaborate for the committee about any political friendships he may have had in Canada was politely ignored.
Carney, who is to leave his job as governor of the Bank of Canada late this spring and start his new job in Britain on July 1, had a long laugh over suggestions that he had become "a rock star" of international banking as has been suggested by some British politicians and journalists.
"I can only assume that those increasing expectations are doing it so that they can have the pleasure of knocking them down later," he said. "That's probably been accomplished by my testimony so far."
There was none of the drama of a U.S.-style confirmation hearing Thursday because Carney has already been appointed by Prime Minister David Cameron's government. Nevertheless, the Harvard and Oxford educated former Goldman Sachs executive was required to provide a stout defence of his "pay package," which is more than double what he is earning in Canada and includes a housing allowance of more than $300,000 a year.
"That is rather a large pay rise given a pay freeze at the bank," the Conservative chairman of the committee, Andrew Tyrie, commented wryly. More helpfully, another Tory MP noted that Carney was to be paid less than England's many unsuccessful national football team managers.
Several MPs alluded to the fact that the British media, which was out in force at Thursday's hearings, which was televised live across Britain, might not be so kind to him.
Wearing for the occasion the navy pinstripe suit that is the usual uniform of a senior bank executive, Carney calmly defended his huge housing allowance at a time when mortgages were hard to come by in Britain and the economy was facing the prospect of a triple dip recession and much of Europe was in even rougher shape.
"I am coming from one of the least expensive capitals — Ottawa — to one of the most expensive capitals," he said.
As for his total compensation, Carney said he believed that when everything was added up his remuneration was similar to the pay and pension the outgoing governor, Sir Mervyn King, had received. "I was offered terms and I accepted them," he said flatly.
Despite questions about his motives for taking the job, the length of his contract and his compensation package, the 47-year-old banker from Fort Smith, N.W.T., got kudos from the politicians, journalists and the public for his smooth performance before the committee, which included long, professor-like answers to elementary questions about monetary policy definitions.
"You have certainly demonstrated you know how to handle committees like this," Tyrie gushed, adding later, "you have been extremely lucid and interesting."
As the 13 MPs on the committee dispersed, John Mann, who represents a Labour-held riding in Nottinghamshire, told journalists, "I think that he is the right candidate for the job compared to the others."
"He has done exactly what he needed to do," said Sam Coates, banking editor of the Times. "He's demonstrated clarity and competence." However, Coates concluded, "I think it is going to be difficult for him. If you've read the front page stuff about his wife and kids, it takes your breath away."
Retired businessman John Hall had attended the hearing to try to get Carney's measure.
"There is an expectation and belief here that he has the knowledge and expertise that the Old Guard do not have," Hall said. "We need to get our act together. With him there is no bullshit. That is why I like him. He is intelligent, thoughtful and living in the real world. Whether he can turn Britain around or not is something else."
Mann, the Labour MP, scoffed at Carney's answers about his political aspirations in Canada mostly because of the unusually short five-year term as governor of the Bank of England that he had insisted on before accepting what is considered to be one of the top banking jobs in the world.
"Well, he's a politician, then," Mann said in response to Carney's emphatic denials about a possible future in politics. The question was triggered by media speculation in Canada and Britain that was based on the fact that he was friendly with Liberals such as Nova Scotia MP Scott Bryson, who had him stay as a guest at his home during his vacation last summer.
"I wonder whether he has boxed himself in" by making it so plain that he intended to return to Canada in 2018, Mann said. The Labour MP also poked fun at Carney's explanation that he had dithered for months before finally applying for the job after the deadline had closed out of concern for the disruption it would cause to his daughters' lives in the Ottawa suburb of Rockcliffe Park, one of whom was attending a French school.
"I don't buy the stuff about his kids," Mann said. "That's a politician's talk. When he earns what he is getting paid these things can be worked out."
Carney explained to the Treasury committee that he had finally been convinced to take the governor's job after discussions with George Osborne, Britain's chancellor of the exchequer, including a conversation that they had had at the G-20 summit last November in Mexico.
In a 45 pages of written testimony submitted to the committee along with his testimony, Carney mentioned 12 times that "consensus" was his favoured way of leading. "It is an approach that is essential if the institution is to be successful," he said. However, he declined to be drawn on the question of whether there was enough consensus-building at the Bank of England today.
As for the personal philosophy that he was bringing to his new job, Carney said that based on his experience in Canada, "there cannot be an emperor. It's not possible and fundamentally limiting for the institution." Rather, he said, the role he saw for himself was as the Bank of England's "managing partner."
Asked if he intended to change any of the Bank of England's somewhat obscure and stodgy traditions, Carney replied: "I hesitate as a foreigner to come in and change those traditions."
Much of Thursday's discussions centred on whether Britain should keep a targeted inflation rate of two per cent and how much stimulus was required to drag its stagnant economy out of the doldrums. Mindful of the fact that the Bank of England confirmed Thursday that there would be no adjustment to this target rate for the next few months, he would only say that he was open to a debate on the question of such stimulus.
As well as being responsible for monetary policy, such as setting interest rates, the next governor of the Bank of England will, for the first time, be responsible for regulating banks.
Referring to the latest fine — nearly $600 million against the Royal Bank of Scotland on Wednesday for criminally fiddling with interest rates, Carney said that there had been shock at how some of the banks had behaved. "The behaviour that has been exhibited has been reprehensible and should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law," he said.
However, he took issue with one of the MPs for suggesting that such criminal banking practices had occurred in Canada on his watch.
Alluding to Europe's grave economic crisis and the strong impact it had had on the British economy, the Canadian central banker said: "I believe that we are moving from the acute phase of the crisis to a chronic stage of the crisis." As the Bank of Canada had done, it was important for Bank of England to work closely with the central banks of Europe to strengthen the Euro zone.

So many of us have been there, in reality or in our nightmares: that 3 a.m. wake-up call from a child doubled over in pain. And it's the subject of Dr. Perri Klass' article in the New York Times this week, entitled, "That Middle-of-the-Night Bellyache: Appendicitis?" on the difficulty physicians continue to have in diagnosing appendicitis in children.
We went through it with our son Ben last year, although the pain started in the late afternoon. Our pediatrician's office wouldn't give us an appointment until late the next morning, even though I'd explicitly stated that Ben was writhing on the floor, sobbing in pain. (I know, I know, we've left the practice.) If the pain reliever I'd given him wasn't working, the nurse directed, then I should take him to the ER.
I took Ben to the hospital, fearing appendicitis, but expected to be sent home -- following some finger wagging from a doctor for being overly dramatic. Long story short, it was a highly traumatic experience, involving catheterization for a urine sample (Ben wasn't yet potty trained), several x-rays, concern over a possible bowel blockage that would have necessitated emergency surgery, transfer to a regional medical center with a full pediatric surgery team… and ultimately, a middle of the night discharge into a brewing blizzard, with a "We think it was probably just gas" shrug of the shoulders from the doctors.
In her article, Dr. Klass explains that diagnosing appendicitis in kids remains particularly tricky and controversial. It's tricky because young children often don't have the vocabulary to fully describe their pain and because appendicitis in children doesn't always follow the textbook presentation, and controversial because new imaging techniques (including CT scans) can help to make a diagnosis and potentially help avoid unnecessary surgery, but also risk exposing children to radiation.
Moms, have you ever been through a middle-of-the-night medical emergency with your kid(s)? What happened? How did you handle it?

BELLEVUE, TN -- Some 250 flood victims from the Nashville, TN, area found shelter at the Gordon Jewish Community Center (JCC) in Bellevue, TN, after torrential rains and weekend flooding caused thousands of residents to flee their homes.
Serving as one of three Red Cross shelters in the Nashville area, the JCC began spreading the word on Sunday via posts to its Facebook page that flood victims could seek shelter at its facility.
In addition, evacuees were invited to shop free of charge at the JCC's flood recovery store to stock up on basic essentials, such as toiletries, clothing and blankets. By today, the JCC received so many donations from the community that it posted an online request asking people to refrain from making additional donations.
"We have just collected so much that we actually have to stop taking these kinds of donations," JCC organizer Harry Baker told local media.
The JCC, which continues to accept monetary donations on its website, was able to resume its normal schedule of group ex classes on Monday.

I teach 3rd grade and LOVE it! My class is awesome!
I want to know what works. I want to know what reaches students. If I do not know, I ask. I love a classroom of skilled learners. This means I need to give them every tool available.
I went to college right out of high school. I had to stop due to raising a family. Ten years later the Lord opened the door and it was time to jump back in. Going back to school as an adult was scary, but I wouldn't trade the experience for the world. I have a greater appreciation for my students now.
I have a wonderful husband and a large family. I love the Lord, husband, children, grandchildren, horses, Rufus Jack (Snorkie), Sugar Jane (Maltese), and my 2 big boys- Fritz and Triton. I always said that I knew I was born to teach when my mom bought me a chalkboard when I was a little girl. I loved to teach my dolls. I come from a long line of educators. : )

Inception Workshop on Developing DRR Capacity in IraqApr 16, 2014
Erbil, 16 April 2014: Experts and senior officials from Government of Iraq, the KRG Regional Government, Governorates and UN agencies met in Erbil at the Erbil International Hotel from 15-16 April for the inception workshop of UNDP's new 'Developing Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) Capacities in Iraq' project. This new initiative is the result of a long standing partnership between the Government of Iraq and the UNDP to contextualize disaster risks within in the broader development framework of the country.
A total 30 participants engaged in lively discussions to chart out a comprehensive plan and prioritize actions for capacity building on disaster preparedness and risk reduction in Iraq. As a first step on building DRR capacity, experts and officials provided their collective inputs to develop the institutional framework for a National Disaster Risk Management Centre, which is expected to drive the shift in Iraq from recovery and relief focused disaster management to a comprehensive risk reduction culture.
In his opening remarks, Dr. Samir Raouf, Deputy Minister of Science and Technology and Head of National DRR Committee, welcomed participants and highlighted the importance of this new project that would cater to the need for institutional capacity building toward comprehensive risks management of both natural and human induced disasters in Iraq.
UNDP's Deputy Country Director, while welcoming the participants, confirmed UNDP's continued commitment to DRR capacity building in Iraq. She emphasized the need to identify options to build resilience which will lead the government and the people of Iraq to be better prepared for and to recover from disasters.Contact

You need to stop assuming so many things.
Yes, we see Accelerator in a setting that looks nothing like Academy City.
I would rather attribute that to the author's error than anything else.
If Accelerator or Mikoto were born with their powers, we would've been told so long ago.

Magic has been around before Academy City's establishment, meaning there must have been enough powerful espers to make people envious.
Another thing:
If magic was invented by people who were envious of esper powers, then it should be assumed that they were unable to develop them. However, as Tsuchimikado's example testifies to, magicians can develop esper powers. The only logical explanation I can think of is that Academy Cities' curriculum is something that helps bypass the previous rules regarding esper powers.
One more thing:
I seriously believe that esper powers are still not understood at all. I mean, the inconsistencies between all of the powers is just ridiculous. I can understand some powers being mostly understood (electricity, teleportation), but the retarded abilities like "body regeneration", "vampire bait", and "completely ordinary hand" seriously have got to have more to it than just that.
Just an example: "body regeneration" really means having control over your own metabolism. The term "body regeneration" seems so... fake. I know this is a fantasy story, but the scientific approach the story seems to take on abilities such as Railgun/Accelerator contrasts so sharply with the other abilities.
Hopefully the author is actually thinking this much. The LN has sold like 18 volumes so far and its still going strong. However, after looking at the path Bleach has gone down, it's very likely that the author is just making things up as he/she goes.

But the reseachers still have to classify these super natural power user as an esper, cuz they can't find an appropriate term than that.

I was always under the impression that the timeline goes like this.
Magic was created in response to the gemstones.
ESP was created after Aleister Crowley abandoned his art.
Gemstones and ESP come from "ability users."
ESP is just an artificial ability made possible through brain treatment, which likely originated after magic, a remedy for "people without powers," was founded.

No. There is only one dividng line, which is AIM nor not. Do you release AIM? Be yuor power is natural or not, you are consider an esper.
And when Kakine saw Accelerator use his black wings, his power awakens and his wings epxands into ridiculous size (about 30 meters wide). And just when his about to use his new power, his beaten into meat sauce, literally.
And I notice soemone mentioned the "puppet" government thing. It is somewhat true. Roman Catholics have been pulling strings on almost all government in Western Europe besides Britian. And, France despite under the infleunce of Catholics on surface, is really in control by the Maiden of Versailles.
I kinda want to find out who is running America in To Aru verse now.....
On the topic of Touma. Fianma has commented that Touma's power is a lot similiar to his. If Holy Right is the power that had banished the king of devil, Imagine Breaker should serve as similiar purpose. This makes the "IB is actually there to keep something sealed inside Touma" theory to be possible. What if the king fo devil or something that equivalent to it is inside Touma. Or my wildest guess, Touma already is a La Persona superiore a Dio. Being higher than the god, his mere prescence might completly overthrow the dominance of the current god, thus IB was insatlled onto him to surpress his power.

sogita gunha is a gem stone? but I thought his originally a level 0? Then that rumor of a level 0 getting to level 5 is false?
Is deep blood even releasing AIM? Their is no clear explanation to it. But deep blood exist to kill a certain being. Then that proves the existence of the vampire then aleister quote if deep blood exist to kill vampires then what does imagine breaker prove?
Then if we take the deep blood and imagine breaker as gemstones and natural birth espers then the being an a natural espers have their own meaning?
Everyone is talking about what's the real purpose of imagine breaker and questioning it. Some says that their are only 5-4 left in the world knows the real meaning behind imagine breaker. And Fianna says that its a holystone.
And isn't a holy stone like a gemstone? Its just kinda special in its own way. With its total secrecy in place. It's not your ordinary gemstone.
But what are espers to begin with? Especially the so called gem stones with their natural esper abilities since birth. What does they existence prove?
And human being trying to copy their abilities or to mass produce it is kinda normal but do they even know what's the meaning of an esper?
If their are only 50 on the world who can be consider gemstones and the magic side envied it so they created magic plus the science side tried to mass produce those gemstone. Isn't it to show that the original espers or rather those gemstones are quite strong?
And so kakine has his wings on already but after seeing accelerator black wing his own wings expanded with 30 meters or so. And his wings is kinda the materialization of his powers. Where what ever it touch into a newly matter.
So what are those wings to begin with? Aiwass said those 2 are special, a mad scientist quote its like an angel and those 2 are far stronger than your ordinary espers and given I think they are the only one capable of bringing out those wings.
So what are those wings?

There must have been non-gemstone espers before Academy City too, seeing as there are numerous examples of espers developing/discovering powers on their own (Accelerator).
Also, remember that "gemstones" are not necessarily espers yet. So, it magic may not have been founded due to gemstones, but rather "normal" espers?
Another question thats been bugging me. Angels by definition must have existed before the creation of magic? Then therefore angels should also have been around the first ever espers. By that token, espers - even the Academy City espers - must be linked to angels/heaven in some way.
Regarding God in To Aru: I think its too early to assume that he's a bad guy.
Finally, I think all espers are "born" with their abilities. Even if they aren't born with them developed, its quite obvious that every person already has his/her "type" of ability predetermined before birth. Also, as Level Upper suggested, every single person is an esper: Level Upper does not grant random powers, it activates the users pre-destined power.

Note, everyone can be esper as long as they have their brains tweaked enough to be one.
That's the whole point of the Academy city, tweaking human brain enough so they can use powers.
Also do not try to make the issure more complicated. Like I said before, whether you are an Esper or not is completly determined by whether you release AIM or not. And because everyone can potentially be an Esper in the first place. So how your powers are developed also doesn't matter either. It is AIM, AIM is what really counts.
Thus there is no division of things such as normal esper or not normal esper, as there is no special AIM or not special AIM. AIM is always just AIM.
And again, Accelerator's power is not developed naturally (and if you want to argue he is one, you have to come up with an explanation on why he is not in the "list"). He is developed by Academy City's programe. And it is impossible to develop power naturally and not be a gem stone, or else that defies the whole definition on gem stones. Gem stones are NOT determined by what power they have or whatever, it is specifcly categorize by whether you obtain the power naturally or not.
So the formula is this:
Esper is determined by whether you release AIM or not.
Gem stone is determined by whether your power is obtained naturally or not.
Gem stone or not, if you release AIM, you are an esper. Gem stone or not, if you don't release AIM, you are not an esper. They are seperate concepts, do not mix them together. It is entirely possible to be a gem stone and not an esper. Sogiita is in that position roght now.
Also, like Kumokawa has pointed out, it is best to not categorize IB as a gemstone. Speaking of which, they really should give Kumokawa a bit more screen time, and have her dig out all the secrets around IB....

Oh also, I almost forgot.
Magic was created against the esper power is a misconception.
Magic was created against people with "talent".
Esper power hardly is the only "talent" in the world. For example, Saints, who belongs to the magic side is also considered as a "talent".
In other words, what we know as esper power is just one type of "talent" that is "fueled by AIM and personal reality that can be produced by the scientific methods developed by Aleister Crowley".
In other words, magic vs. science is seperate matter from untalented vs talented people.

kinda confusing here.
Sogita is the 7th level 5 right? and his not releasing his AIM? then his not an esper? and if your saying that you need AIM to be consider an esper then IB is not an esper ability yet so far because their is no AIM.
Then again about accelerator ..... okay the academy develop his ability and try to replicate it, That explains why kihara knows every mili or nano base computation about him.
What really are gemstone? They are naturally born with power but if they don't release AIM then their not esper. But if they have ability then what category will it fall into? The magic side?
And does deep blood even release AIM?
and info about sogita gunha?
And if the magic is created against people with talent then a saint is also a talent then .........grrr then the whole concept of saint even using magic..... really confusing. Then why do they use magic if its even created to go against talented people?
Who's kumokawa?

Sogiita's problem is that his power is too big of an uncertainty to the sicentists of the academy.... nah. A better way to put is "they don't know". So they refer to the closest definition they can refer Sogiita as.
As for what would gem stones be if they don't release AIM, again I have to say "I don't know" on this one. Because so far, gem stones are presumed to release AIM int he novel. But then, in order to have gem stones to feel under magic side, their power must be idenitified to use magical energy like Telesma, or using a magical formula or borrow power from a deity or any other thing that magics requires.
As for Saints using magic.... allow me to put it this way. If even espers can cast magic if they are willing to have their head explode in blood, why wouldn't Saints use them when their head won't explode??
And Kumokawa is senior student in Touma's school. She is acquainted with Touma before he lost his memory. She is also a total genius, serving as an adviser for Kaitzu, one of the presidential cuncil member. She bares a lot interest in Imagine Breaker and Touma's misfortune.

A somewhat forced vacation, caused by a 50% increase in family size (sometimes, constants DO matter !). While I recover, look over this set of recommendations on giving scientific talks, by Robert Geroch.
Whenever I see suggestions on how to use powerpoint effectively, I see these inane comments like "never use more than 6 words per slide" and what-not. For high signal-to-noise ratio presentations like at conferences, this hardly makes sense. The suggestions given above are remarkably intelligent, and are directed towards scientific talks. The fact that this was written in 1973 only goes to show that the principles of good public speaking are timeless.

- Specialty: Handmade Magnetic Wood Tiles
- Price range: $$
- Website: moonishco.com
Store History
- Founded: December 2012
- Founded by: Matt & Giovanna Taylor
- Headquarters: Brooklyn, NY
Moonish wall tiles are handmade in New York. The production takes place in Garnerville, where some of the process is subcontracted to a local woodworker, and the Moonish studio in Greenpoint Brooklyn, where the design and printing take place. All of the plywood they use is sourced from FSC compliant supplies, and because it is marine grade, there is no added urea formaldehyde like most inexpensive plywood contain. The tiles are silkscreened with water based pigments, and are finished with a water based acrylic finish, either glossy or matte.
Moonish plywood "tiles" can be applied to any smooth level surface. They can compose a wall or ceiling size mosaic, or they can be used for smaller projects like headboards or trim. Once installed the tiles can be rearranged on their steel stickers to make alternate designs. Each box contains a set of 36 tiles and covers an area of 9 sq ft. Prices range from $198-257 per box box depending on the design you choose.
