A scrap metal hunter has appeared before a court after his lawful mission turned into a burglary.
Peter Carl Hall, 38, had not intended to commit any crime, Wigan and Leigh Magistrates heard.
But when he and a friend saw an insecure door at the large Leigh Spinners Mill in Park Lane, he entered to see what he could steal, said prosecutor Tess Kenyon.
Hall, of Chisworth Close, Leigh, ended up opening workers' lockers in search of cash but only found a pair of sun glasses that he wanted to steal.
However, he also found some bolt cutters in the mill's stores which he used to break the lock on external gates so that he could leave the mill by another door.
Operations director Anthony Walsh said Hall's actions had disrupted production and claimed £2,000 compensation.
However this was rejected by JPs because the company hadn't submitted sufficient evidence about how this figure had been arrived at.
Jobless Hall pleaded guilty to entering the mill as a trespasser and stealing £150 of property.
He was traced after police, called to the mill after evidence of the burglary came to light, recognised his face from the closed circuit television.
His co-accused had already been dealt with last month by way of a Drug Rehabilitation Requirement and curfew.
Martin Jones, defending, said that Hall was still recovering from a dog bite attack in which his leg was seriously injured, that has also made it difficult for him to find work.
Magistrates gave Hall a year long community order and a 12 week long 8pm to 8am curfew.
He must also make a £85 contribution towards the costs of prosecution, pay an £85 victim surcharge plus £50 compensation for the theft.

I was brought up in a place where to catch a bus I needed to walk for 5km. I belong to a lower middle-class family with agriculture as the sole source of income. My parents made sure that we got 3 meals a day.
In my 4th standard, I came across this question in a classroom exercise, "What do you want to become in life?" I still remember with clarity that I wrote I wanted to become an engineer.

A list of proposals submitted for design work on a new swimming pool at Ames High School will be narrowed to just a few for district officials to consider at a meeting next month.
A list of proposals submitted for design work on a new swimming pool at Ames High School will be narrowed to just a few for district officials to consider at a meeting next month.
The Ames Community School District�s facilities panel met Tuesday and decided to recommend a short list of proposals for the school board, as opposed to picking just one or letting the board consider all eight of the plans that were submitted.
�I think the appropriate compromise is for us to propose three for interviews,� school board member Bill Talbot said.
Talbot sits on the facilities panel along with board member Mike Espeset, who suggested the committee also recommend an interview team that includes representatives from the city and the high school.
The existing swimming pool at the high school is shared by the district and the city, serving as both the Ames High competition pool and Ames Municipal Pool.
The facility is nearing the end of its useful life and the school district has budgeted $10 million for the design and construction of a new pool, which is expected to be completed in early 2015. It will feature a 50-meter competition pool and be designed so city officials have the option of building an adjoining recreation pool with some shared space.
As the facilities committee eyes work on the swimming pool, it also is looking to widen a Des Moines firm�s role in the district�s elementary school overhaul. The district is building three new elementary schools and renovating two more.
Taylor, Ohde, Kitchell has been hired as construction manager for the first project, a new school on Miller Avenue. The firm�s work to assure the $13.3 million project is done on time and within budget comes with a $527,800 price tag.
The facilities committee is discussing amending the district�s contract with the firm to include work on two additional elementary school projects, including a new building for Meeker Elementary and renovations for Mitchell Elementary.
The facilities committee asked Taylor, Ohde, Kitchell to draft an amended contract for it to consider and possibly recommend to the school board.
Taylor, Ohde, Kitchell initially proposed its services for all five elementary schools, with the cost of overseeing the projects capped at about $2.4 million. But the school board decided against that option and is adding the firm�s services as needed.
Talbot said he favors extending the contract with Taylor, Ohde, Kitchell to include all five elementary schools and is not concerned because the district has a no-cause termination agreement with the firm.
�A no-cause termination means that at anytime that we�re dissatisfied with their services, we simply give notice and they�re gone,� he said.

text: So I recently purchased a droid 1 from Ebay to hold off until my upgrade in August. Everything is working great so far with no issues, but I do have a question on charging. When I bought the droid it did not come with the standard wall charger and instead came with a usb cord only. So my only option was to use my laptop. However I remembered that I had an ipod wall charger and have been using that for the past few days to charge my droid. I was just wondering whether or not it is ok to charge my droid via an ipod wall charger. Or will this lead to issues with my battery in the future? I would rather ask now then find out later that it did and my battery would be fried. Thanks for your time, and I hope this is an ok forum to post in lol. Still new . Edit: it is an order wall charger and not the newer version if that makes any difference.

Un Loan

Anoka, MN 55303
Map For Un Loan
Information About Un Loan From Around The Web
When you really have an urgent financial need, it's wise to search locally for individual financial services. Based where you are located, services can range from simple check cashing services to short term loan goods including online payday loans, also known as payday advances . Contact the business recorded above to find what financial services are available in your city. Some may additionally offer loan packages that are installment, letting you pay your loan back for a set time period, to bigger loans for example personal loans, which afford a broader range of lending bundles with regard to loan amount and interest rates, depending in your own credit score.
Before applying for internet payday loans, you should always explore other options. If there's an emergency or sudden invoice, try to stretch your financing. If you can't pay a bill, get in touch with your lender and attempt to make a payment arrangement. If your requirement for cash requires a loan for a period that is longer, apply for an alternative peer to peer or traditional loan. In case you have collateral, you can put property up to guarantee a low-interest bank loan. When you are refused capital from a traditional lending source since your credit credibility is shot or you need temporary income until the next pay check, easy loans might look like the ideal option to get you through a tight fiscal position. Taking out an advance on your own next pay check from a money lender could be your only alternative should you not need cash or a credit card in a savings account to cover the cost of a car repair or catching up on your own electricity bill before services are shut off.
Applying for fast loans on the internet is a great solution when sudden emergencies arise or the amount needed isn't worth for starting another account, the ding to your credit rating. In addition, you avoid the bother of having to assemble all your financial records, submit a lengthy application and meet together with the bank's loan officer to sign packages of paperwork. If your credit is great enough, you might be eligible for a higher limit with a brand new account or a current credit card business with a different lender that allows you to combine all of your debt into one payment. As the consolidation is processed between both businesses, which puts money in your pocket fast you generally get to jump the next payment. You are going to likely be paying less complete than you were for the individual minimum payments of the separate debts, when the following payment is due. Many sources of personal credit, including poor credit personal loans, have a high annual percentage rate, particularly if origination fees are included in the annualized rate. Many personal loans online additionally have terms that are comparatively brief, frequently as little as three months. Rolling around them can prove costly, although it could be possible to refinance these types of loans.

Fighting Fire with Hand Grenades
On May 16th 2009 the Original Tropical Isle Nightclub sustained catastrophic damage as a result of a fire. Reopening the business required an arduous; complete renovation but also presented many opportunities.
MetroStudio worked with the tenants to develop a much more efficient bar/kitchen layout and floor plan. The mechanical, lighting and sound systems were enhanced and the viability of the 146 yr old building was ensured for decades to come with the addition of a new internal structural bracing system. The custom engineered bracing system was designed to be completely invisible; preserving the historic appearance and character of the building.
Project interiors were completely redone and rebranded to work within the Tropical Isle's "Tiki" inspired brand image. Central to the project plan is the
new stage with wrap around bar. The entire feature is crowned by a custom built bamboo "Palapa" inspired by the owner's travels thought the Caribbean.
Bar infrastructure was completely redone; with high volume direct delivery systems specifically chosen for the ability to meet the bars customer volume and demand for signature cocktails. The entire renovation was executed in an extremely compressed timeframe to meet the schedule demands New Orleans' Mardi Gras and Convention schedule.
The renovation guarantees that the Original Tropical Isle will remain one of the most popular destinations in the French Quarter, while retaining one of oldest structures in the Vieux Carre.

Voters will soon be heading back to the ballot box following the SNP's sensational success at the general election.
Denny and Banknock Councillor John McNally's stunning win on May 7 to take the Falkirk Constituency with a 19,701 majority is expected to lead to a by-election within months.
The 64-year-old Denny barber has yet to officially announce his resignation from Falkirk Council, but it is understood his career as an MP at Westminster means it will happen sooner rather than later.
Under the rules a by-election to select his replacement in the four-member ward has to be called within three months of the day he officially quits the town hall - and that announcement could come within days.
SNP Group spokesman Councillor David Alexander said: "No decision has been made by John so far, but a series of meetings involving the Denny SNP Branch, Constituency Association and our Local Government Liaison Committee are arranged.
"In the meantime Martin Oliver our other SNP member for the ward is picking up John's workload and making sure the people of Denny and Banknock remain well represented. It is not our intention to leave the seat unattended for long.
"While John is in London his colleagues are here to make sure everything continues to run properly.
"Following the general election the SNP is potentially facing the prospect of contesting 16 by-elections across the country. Given the support on May 7 that is a nice 'problem' to have."
Councillor Colin Chalmers, chairman of the Falkirk Constituency Association, said: "The top priority ahead of any decision by John is to make sure any council related issues the people of Denny and Banknock have are addressed."

Well, it finally happened. As Inauguration Day came and went, millions took to the streets to voice their outrage/agreement/dissent/much more…
It's no secret which side I come down on when it comes to our current climate in the U.S. but support for a particular party doesn't change the fact that we're all in this together. Seeing so many folks out in the streets, even if I don't agree with all of them, gives me hope for our future.
As for the music, today we have what you've come to expect from me since the election: A mix of vintage rockers, sweet soul music, modern psychedelia, and punk rockers carrying the torch into the next four years. Snuck a new King Gizzard track in there, too.
Full playlist & more below->
Musical therapy. Aural catharsis. Call it what you want but there's something for everyone, and it's dedicated to every pair of feet that hit pavement this week for what they believe in. Let's keep it up, we'll need to.
Special mentions to the great bands I was lucky enough to see playing their hearts out in opposition to Trump this weekend. One was my guest from last week Sun Abduction, and I had a lot of fun hearing sets from Heavy Traffic, The Royal They, and Garbage Brain. More from them on next week's show.
Get into trouble, but the good kind. Good luck.

I had never heard of this word until about a year ago; it basically means the act of dawdling and generally not getting anything done. As I was reading through the commentary of the Twenty20 match from the SCG this morning, the commentary for this over stood out immediately –
5th over: Ponting is almost balletic as he swivels a pull shot into the crowd behind square but he has feet of clay next ball as he thick-edges four over point. A similar shot brings a relay effort by the fielders but the batsmen run four while they're faffing. DROPPED! Taxi for Lewis, who gets under a lofted drive from Ponting at mid-on and puts it down. He just dropped the Twenty20 international trophy. 52-1
Good on ya Martin Gough! 🙂
Now, I have to stop faffing and get some shit done myself. 😉

Amidst pressure from regulators, Ford is expanding their recall of F150 and Lincoln Mark LT pickup trucks. The recall was initiated due to faulty airbags that may go off unexpectedly, injuring drivers. The recall involves Ford F150s manufactured from 2004 through 2006, and Lincoln Mark LTs 2006 models.
In February, Ford agreed to recall 144,000 trucks; on Thursday, U.S. safety regulars announced Ford is expanding the recall to nearly 1.3 million trucks.
National Highway Traffic Safety Administration records show the agency has received more than 200 complaints from drivers of sudden air bag deployment, causing more than 60 injuries.
If you have been severely injured by airbags that deployed unexpectedly, you may be able to pursue a claim for damages (compensation). Contact defective products lawyers at Burnetti, P.A. to learn more about your legal rights. 1-888-BURNETTI.

Gabor Szathmari, a security researcher for CryptoAUSTRALIA, is working on a method of improving the security of leaked documents by removing hidden dots left behind by laser printers, which are usually used to watermark documents and track down leakers.
Szathmari's work was inspired by the case of a 25-year-old woman, Reality Leigh Winner, who was recently charged with leaking top-secret NSA documents to a news outlet.
While the DOJ indictment didn't mention the news outlet by name, many said this is The Intercept, an online news portal that published a story based on top-secret NSA documents showing cyber-attacks against a US vendor of voting machines, perpetrated by Russia's GRU military intelligence agency.
The Intercept story included screenshots of scanned NSA documents, and the publication admitted to having contacted the NSA with copies of the scanned documents prior to publishing their story.
According to Errata Security researcher Rob Graham, it was these scanned documents that might have led to Winner's arrest.
Graham claims that the documents contained barely visible yellow dots left behind by the laser printer Winner used to print the documents that she later allegedly sent to journalists.
The problem of invisible dots left behind in printed documents has long been documented by the Electronic Frontier Foundation, who warned users against companies that use this technique to watermark documents printed inside their headquarters.
These markings are barely visible yellow dots arranged on a grid. Based on their alignment, these dots can reveal the time and date when the document was printed, and the printer's serial number. This allows companies to track leaks to printers installed in certain office spaces, departments, buildings, or others.
Graham says he found such dots on the documents published by The Intercept. The date encoded via those dots was May 9, the same day the DOJ said Winner printed and removed documents from NSA's network.
Here's where Szathmari wants to lend a helping hand. Following Winner's arrest and subsequent charging, the security researcher has submitted a pull request to the PDF Redact Tools, a project for securely redacting and stripping metadata from documents before publishing.
Ironically, the project is managed by First Look Media, the parent company behind The Intercept news outlet.
Szathmari's pull request adds a code routine to the PDF Redact Tools project that would allow app operators to convert documents to black & white before publishing.
"The black and white conversion will convert colors like the faded yellow dots to white," Szathmari told Bleeping Computer in an interview.
"The purpose of the new switch is to suppress the dots left by the laser printer," the expert added.
As proven in the screenshot above, Szathmari's updates yield the desired result of removing the printer dot watermarks. Nevertheless, the expert says his tool isn't perfect, and will not protect whistleblowers against other giveaway signs.
"It doesn't protect [against] other unique patterns or signs. So if the document was folded in half or it has creases, they will not disappear."
This means that if the alleged leaker still has the original document laying around his house, investigators can trace back the publicly leaked version to his copy based on folds and creases alone, even if the printer dots have been removed.
Szathmari also tells Bleeping Computer that he received plenty of feedback from people on social media that a better solution would be to use OCR (Optical Character Recognition) software to scan and convert the leaked document to a raw text version.
"However this is a compromise, as you will not be able to present the original document to your readers," the researcher says.
Currently, First Look Media hasn't responded to Szathmari's pull request, meaning it's not yet part of the official PDF Redact Tools project.
UPDATE [June 20, 2017]: Szathmari's pull request has been added to the official PDT Redact Tools project.
Hmm, I don't get it. Why shouldn't a company or government agency be able to watermark their documents? Do we now have a right to print something where we work completely anonymously? Nonsense. If you don't want your printout to be tracked don't work for the NSA.
It's not something the NSA added. Your home laser printers generate the same dots. Still ok with that?
Not something the NSA added but something they were obviously aware of. Certainly you aren't saying you can't buy a printer without this. I have a black and white laser printer at home. If I ever see the "Yellow watermark cartridge is low" error I'll be sure not to replace it. If it bothers you, do the research and find one that doesn't print the yellow dots. Better yet, encrypt your computer and don't print anything at all. Oh, don't email it or talk about it on your cell phone either 'cuz they can track those also. Just a word of advise, if you ever get the feeling that you should print or copy or email anything inside the NSA ,they SHOULD know about it. She got caught doing something she swore she wouldn't do. There was so much evidence against her I doubt it was the yellow dots that clinched it.
Oh, and yes, I'm ok with that.
I've an indirect proof for that... after I've printed mostly black/white pages on my colour laser, I was forced to buy a yellow cartridge, who went empty where cyan and magenta were still in their 30-35%.
I don't know if someone is able to hack this printer (Samsung BTW) and also to stop it reporting back to Samsung every print job I queue to it.
Is this only laser printers or do inkjets also do this?
More info here.
Reminds me of Nazi death camp prisoners using their urine as invisible ink to write secret messages. The chosen color...that is.

The "CITIZEN POLICE ACADEMY" concept started in England. It was first adopted in this country by the Orlando, Florida Police Department in 1985. The Leon County Sheriff's Office version is simply called the "CITIZEN'S ACADEMY". It is modeled after the Orlando academy and designed to promote better understanding between the Sheriff's Office and the citizens of Leon County.
The Leon County Sheriff's Office Citizen's Academy offers a different and exciting program unique to our area. Indeed, the curriculum and training are not what you might expect. Typically, the students attracted to the academy are a culturally diverse group of people including bankers, businessmen and women, judges, housewives, school teachers, media representatives, retirees and citizens from all walks of life.
Participants meet one evening a week for 10 weeks. They learn about virtually every aspect of a deputy's job including recruiting, administration, patrol operations, traffic enforcement and communications, criminal law, SWAT and hostage negotiations, crime scene investigations, corrections and many other areas.
The Citizen's Academy doesn't limit participants to classroom training. Students are given the opportunity to:
Although graduates of the Citizen's Academy are not qualified for daily street duty, they do acquire a better understanding of the Leon County Sheriff's Office operations and responsibilities. Citizen's Academy graduates gain greater awareness and appreciation of the difficult challenges and decisions a deputy sheriff faces every day.
Community involvement is the most powerful force any law enforcement agency has in the fight against crime. Through the "CITIZEN'S ACADEMY", citizens become more involved in making Tallahassee and Leon County a better place to live.
We at the Leon County Sheriff's Office believe this leads to better understanding between citizens and law enforcement through education.
Applicants are selected to attend the "CITIZEN'S ACADEMY" after first submitting a completed application and pending the outcome of a background inquiry.
Potential candidates names are then selected by lottery. Class size is set at forty (40) participants.

I am posting this after attending the Me Too event today and being asked for written information on the warm up massage and hand charts. I have met some lovely caring people and hope this helps them and anyone else interested.
What is Reflexology?
Reflexology involves applying pressure to the feet or hands using thumbs, fingers and hands. It is based on a system of zones or reflex areas that correspond to areas of the body.
Reflexology creates relaxation, can reduce pain, improve blood flow, and ease pregnancy. A big effect is in stress reduction, which reduces tension in the whole body.
Reflexology has been used since Egyptian times, there are hieroglyphic pictures on the walls of the Tomb of the Doctor, the Chinese and Japanese also used reflexology. It emerged in the Western World in the nineteenth century.
Although reflexology is most commonly known as being practiced on the feet, hands can also be used.
Hand Reflexology
Used today as hands are more accessible and anyone can work on themselves at home, on bus, lying in bed etc.
Today I used a non-perfumed hypo-allergenic hand cream to help my fingers move over my dry hands, this is not essential but can be used if desired.
Warm Up Exercise for Hand Reflexology
This exercise could also be done on its own at any time for relaxation. At no point should any moves hurt, reduce pressure if pain is caused.
1. Squeeze end of each finger.
2. Rub each finger between finger and thumb of other hand.
3. Gently pull each finger between finger and thumb of other hand.
4. Gently pull webbed area between fingers.
5. Massage top of hand with thumb.
6. Inner wrist – cradle hand with other hand and use thumb to massage inner wrist. Soothing if you do repetitive movements like using keyboard, computer mouse, video games, play guitar.
7. Massage palm of hand with thumb.
8. Press centre of palm with thumb 3 times and take a deep breath to relax each time.
Hand Reflexology for Headaches
Start on one hand with palm upwards and apply pressure using thumb to for 3 seconds to the top of each finger and thumb. This is where the head, brain and sinus reflexes are located.
Hand Reflexology for Back and Neck Pain
Massage along spinal reflex which starts on the outside of the thumb and follow down and round to the centre of the wrist. For lumbar/sacral pain keep thumb pressed on this point for 5 seconds. For neck pain circle one thumb around the bottom of the other thumb.
Hand Reflexology for Digestive Problems
Massage clockwise around centre of palm (same direction as bowel). Press with thumb for 5 seconds.
Hand Reflexology to Relax
Make hand into a cup shape, feel for dip in palm in line with space between index and middle fingers (along diaphragm line in diagram), this is the Solar Plexus reflex area, massage in an anti-clockwise direction to wind down.

San Diego Promise Zone
The San Diego Promise Zone, on June 6, 2016, became one of 22 federally designated Promise Zones in the United States and one of only four in California. The San Diego Promise Zone (SDPZ) covers a 6.4-square-mile targeted area that spans East Village and Barrio Logan east to Encanto and Emerald Hills and is home to the City's most disadvantaged and underserved communities.
More than 77,000 San Diegans live in SDPZ. Unemployment is high (15.61 percent), and poverty is concentrated (39.06 percent). The area struggles with low educational attainment, insufficient access to healthcare and healthy foods, rising crime rates and the least affordable housing in the country.
Through the Promise Zone initiative, federal government partners work with local leaders to streamline resources across agencies and deliver comprehensive support. Leading the effort, the City has partnered with numerous local organizations and agencies to develop programs and initiatives in six Working Group goal areas to improve quality of life and accelerate revitalization in the SDPZ.
The Promise Zone designation lasts for 10 years.
For more information about the SDPZ, contact the City of San Diego Promise Zone Director Katherine Crow at 619-533-6474.

"...come on, that post was all over the place. Go look at it. Don't even read it, just look at the formatting. It's spilling crazy all over the floor it's so full of crazy.
Anyway, there are a few archetypes of classic fantasy characters. Expecting us to do something outside of those archetypes for the sake of trying to be original is unnecessary, and would probably lead to something that's just ridiculous and not fun, or difficult to design - let alone balance.
I'm more than happy with you expressing your opinion, and as I summed it up yes essentially your opinion was that you wanted more originality. That's fine, but I was just saying the way in which it was presented was practically inedible."
He then went on to further discuss the topic:
What do you think about the character classes so far? Do you think they really need to shoehorn something totally unique and unheard of into the game as a playable class just for the sake of it, or are you happy to have more sensible characters like the ones we've already seen as long as they're well-rounded?"Well, I'm not sure I can discuss much more without showing our hand. But! I think we'll have at least one class in the game that will appeal to everyone. And that's sort of the goal with the core game, hit those main archetypes that everyone can identify with. "Hey, a Wizard... I'm pretty sure I know what that's all about without even seeing it." Any potential expansions are probably where you'd try out something not of a core archetype like, say, an assassin or druid. ;P
The witch doctor is a bit riskier, and I think sometimes written off as just a twist on the necromancer, but no one has really seen most of his abilities and the flavor he brings. He still has a lot left for people to discover."

Militant leader, Asari Dokubo, has condemned music executive, Don Jazzy and others that have openly criticized former Minister of Petroleum, Diezani Alison-Madueke, over her alleged $90 billion loot.
Mr. Asari-Dokubo blew hot in a video published on Facebook, where he also branded President Buhari and his cabinet members liars.
He said, "May God punish that useless dirty Don Jazzy, abundantly, for speaking about Diezani's alleged loot."
Don Jazzy took to his twitter page few days ago to ask if Diezani would be forgiven if she only asks for forgiveness from God.
In the video which was shared via Facebook, Asari asked why they have not criticized Tinubu, Fashola and even Awolowo. He asked where all these men also got their wealth from.
Don Jazzy is yet to respond to Asari- Dokubo's rants.

The Friendship Bench
The Royal Park Public Meeting was well attended and a great success.
The presentation of the bid went very well and was much more interesting than Friday's presentation to the council which obviously had to concentrate more on technical details and finance.
As Sue Buckle spoke about the history of the school and the fight for the building I was struck by how important it was to tell the public about the image on the cover of the bid, projected on the screen behind her and I asked to speak at the end.
This image was of the Friendship Bench, built by children, parents and staff with a local artist in the final year of Royal Park's history as a school and still standing proud in the playground.
When I spoke, I told the meeting about helping to build the bench, and that my son had calculated the amount of concrete needed to build it. I pointed out my daughter's face and told them that I know the name of every child pictured on that bench, that they are all now teenagers and many are at City of Leeds.
I then explained that when it was built the children were told that if ever they felt lonely or needed someone to talk to, all they had to do was sit on the bench and they would find a friend. I went on to say how glad I was that this was the image they had chosen because the Royal Park community centre would be there for everyone, for help, advice and friendship.
It was a very emotional experience, the bench has become the symbol of Royal Park and carries its ethos from the old to the new. I feel very proud to be part of that.

For the last two weeks on the blog, we've examined the legal framework that exists in U.S. law for interactions between police officers and members of the public. These laws have to strike a delicate balance: on the one hand, they must ensure that all citizens as well as their property remain safe and secure from criminals and criminal activity; on the other hand, they need to ensure that people suspected of criminal activity are treated fairly and accorded their full rights under the law. The system may not always run perfectly–after all, with human nature, personal fallibilities and split-second decisions as part of the mix, there's bound to be some difficulties–but, as I hope we've been showing, the laws do an excellent job of maintaining this fine line according to reasonable, common-sense dictates.
For a good example, let's take a closer look at the concept of "probable cause," which can be a contentious area in some cases for the way it might seem to rely on intuitive, borderline-subjective readings of a situation, even though it is very firmly rooted in the law. It goes back, actually, to the Fourth Amendment of the Constitution, which protects against "unreasonable searches and seizures." As we stated earlier, probable cause is what's considered necessary under the law for a police officer to obtain a warrant–either for search and seizure or for a person's arrest. Police also need probable cause to arrest without a warrant, and prosecutors need it to charge someone with a crime.
As we can see already, there are several complex levels to probable cause as an important concept in the pursuit of justice, and its definition is no exception: probable cause is said to exist when circumstances and facts known to a police officer would lead an average person to believe that a crime was, will be, or has been committed. This is also the case in searches–where facts in the knowledge of a police officer would suggest to a reasonable person that a given location is either the scene of a crime or that it contains evidence pertaining to a crime.
If it seems like a good deal of this is left up to an officer's discretion, remember that their decision must be based on facts or evidence, and never on intuition or a "hunch." That may constitute "reasonable suspicion," as we mentioned last week, but never probable cause.
In situations where a warrant isn't necessary–if a crime is committed in front of a police officer, for instance, or when someone gives verbal consent to a search–police officers must still operate under assumptions of what is "reasonable," i.e., they must never rely on anything but facts and evidence. Indeed, when public safety is threatened, they must rely steadily on their recourse under the law. It is a powerful tool, and when used correctly, it is overwhelmingly a force for good.

Rebecca is my favourite book. I return to it every couple of years, and manage to get caught up again and again in its gothic beauty and suspense.
When I was reading this book recently, my partner asked me 'What sort of a read is it?' and I struggled to answer. At first I wanted to say it was a romance, but then I thought....wait a minute, there is very little romance in this book. Then I thought 'drama', but that does not seem adequate. It is not necessarily a character-driven book either. It is, however, most definitely suspenseful, but more than that too. Put simply, Rebecca (and all the other du Maurier novels I've read) is impossible to classify. It is dark and suspenseful, with characters in it who are not particularly admirable. It is also beautiful. I don't often think of novels as 'beautiful', but Rebecca is very beautiful.
Rebecca de Winter has been dead a year, but her ghost haunts the new Mrs de Winter—the narrator, whose name is never revealed. Rebecca is everything that the narrator is not—beautiful, sophisticated, intelligent, charming and self-assured. Rebecca hunted, sailed, held parties and was a brilliant conversationalist. Our narrator, on the other hand, cuts a poor figure in her poorly cut clothing, unfashionable hairstyle and school-girl language. All she can do is sketch—referred to at times by characters as her 'little hobby'. Filling Rebecca's shoes as Maxim's new wife and the lady of Manderley is extremely arduous for our artless and self-conscious narrator. Her self-consciousness is, at times, excruciating, particularly when dealing with the imposing housekeeper Mrs Danvers.
If the new Mrs de Winter isn't already sensitive of her status as a woman replacing someone's deceased wife, Mrs Danvers sees to it that she is fully aware of her inadequacies compared to Rebecca. It is clear that Mrs Danvers loved Rebecca deeply. In fact, some have suggested she and Rebecca were lovers.
Mrs Danvers is unable to grieve and the extent of her obsession with keeping the memory of Rebecca alive becomes horribly clear as time passes. She cannot accept the narrator as the new lady of Manderley and sets out to destroy her. This should not be difficult, given the weak and passive (but somehow, lovable) character of the new Mrs de Winter. Events, however, transpire to guide the story in an unexpected direction.
Du Maurier uses flowers, gardens and the weather to set the tone throughout the novel. I didn't even know what a rhododendron was, but somehow I managed to realise that their wild, uncontrollable and almost painful beauty, as depicted in the novel, meant some sort of horror was on its way. The suspense is built beautifully with bad weather and untamed gardens all of which is overseen by the ghost of Rebecca who seems to haunt every page.

Emma! This is one of my favourites too. And I love the 1940 Hitchcock film.ReplyDelete
I am Mrs. de Winter now...

Thanks for commenting Annie! I'm so glad I found another Rebecca-lover. We read it at school, and I have re-read it so many times since then. Good ol' Daph is probably my favourite author. Haven't seen the film....must hunt it down.ReplyDelete
Hee! I read this one over the summer. I thought it was really good - I really liked it. I marked it as "suspense" when I did the review.ReplyDelete

Minister of Energy and Coal Industry Volodymyr Demchyshyn said on Channel 5, Censor.NET reports.
One cannot speak about energy blockade of the Crimea, Demchyshyn said. "There are four power limes which provide electricity in full. Three of them were reallydamaged, but our services managed to promptly repair them," the minister said.
Ukraine halves electricity supply to occupied Crimea, - blockade coordinator Isliamov
The activists announced the start of Crimea's energy blockade on Oct. 12. According to them, they blocked electricity supply through Melitopol-Dzhankoi power line.
On Oct. 20, some attackers attempted to blow up two pillars of power lines, which supply electricity to the Crimea. This happenned in the vicinity of Chonhar not far from the administrative border with the annexed peninsula.

Eight chiropractors, three office administrators and an attorney were arrested and charged in Orange County this week after an undercover operation allegedly caught them in schemes to defraud insurance companies through illegal patient referrals, kickbacks and overbilling for procedures that were never done, authorities said Wednesday.
Orange County district attorney's investigators set up a fake law office and posed as law office administrators seeking referrals and patients claiming to be suffering from car accident injuries. It is illegal for professionals who file insurance claims -- doctors, chiropractors and attorneys included -- to exchange money for patient referrals.
Starting in August 2007, investigators sent nearly 250 letters to medical professionals already suspected of fraud. The letter proposed an illegal fee-splitting scheme in which providers would pay up to 30% of a patient's billing in exchange for the referral.
Seven people -- six chiropractors and an office administrator -- allegedly responded positively to the proposal, agreeing to pay kickbacks, authorities said.

text: You may already know that Yahoo.com has a DMARC policy in place that prevents mail with yahoo.com in the from address from being delivered if it is sent from outside Yahoo's infrastructure. Yahoo is expanding this policy to their lower-volume Yahoo international domains below on Mar 28, 2016. The list of domains that will become unusable is as follows: y7mail.com yahoo.at yahoo.be yahoo.bg yahoo.cl yahoo.co.hu yahoo.co.id yahoo.co.il yahoo.co.kr yahoo.co.th yahoo.co.za yahoo.com.co yahoo.com.hr yahoo.com.my yahoo.com.pe yahoo.com.ph yahoo.com.sg yahoo.com.tr yahoo.com.tw yahoo.com.ua yahoo.com.ve yahoo.com.vn yahoo.cz yahoo.dk yahoo.ee yahoo.fi yahoo.hr yahoo.hu yahoo.ie yahoo.lt yahoo.lv yahoo.nl yahoo.no yahoo.pl yahoo.pt yahoo.rs yahoo.se yahoo.si yahoo.sk yahoogroups.co.kr yahoogroups.com.cn yahoogroups.com.sg yahoogroups.com.tw yahoogrupper.dk yahoogruppi.it yahooxtra.co.nz This means that messages using any of these domains as the from address which are not sent from Yahoo's infrastructure will likely be filtered or blocked completely. Things to Consider Sending mail from external domains is more common than you might think. It's a good idea to take a close look at all of your mail streams to ensure that you are not using these domains in any of your from addresses. If you are, you may have some work to do. Messages using these domains will likely stop delivering in the very near future. If your use case requires that you are able to identify the sender of the message, try experimenting with a "friendly from" instead of using their personal email address. A "friendly from" is when you use a name to appear as the from address, instead of the email address itself: email@example.com can be sent as "Example User" <firstname.lastname@example.com> Remember that Yahoo made these changes in the interest of keeping email safe and secure for everyone. After auditing your mail streams for outgoing messages using Yahoo domains, it would be a great idea to start working on your own DMARC policy. In the next few years we expect inbox providers to begin filtering senders that don't have a DMARC policy protecting their domain. You will not regret being ahead of the curve on this.

NEW YORK (CBS.MW) - Hardware stocks finished the week on a high note Friday, lifted by rising shares of Altera and Linear Technology.
The Philadelphia Semiconductor Index ($SOX), a key indicator of chip and chip equipment stock movements, rose 1.1 percent.
Helping out the chip group was Altera (ALTR), a supplier of programmable logic devices and associated development tools, which saw its shares rise 5 percent on the outlook for its second-quarter results.
Chase H&Q said the San Jose, Calif.-based company should report a 20 percent increase in revenue on a quarter-over-quarter basis when it reports results on July 13. As a result, analyst Sudeep Balain increased his rating on the programmable logic device maker to a "strong buy" from a "buy," coupled with a new price target set at $135 a share.
"We would be aggressive buyers of the stock at current price levels and ahead of the quarterly results," Balain wrote in a research note. Shares of Altera jumped 5 1/4 to 101 15/16.
Elsewhere, chipmaker Linear Technology (LLTC) stock surged 5 1/8, or nearly 9 percent, to 63 15/16 and Rambus (RMBS) gained 2 1/16 to 103.
The chip group also got a boost from the latest monthly data compiled by the Semiconductor Industry Association, which said worldwide sales of chips hit an all-time record high of $15.8 billion in May, up from $11.3 billion the year earlier. See full story.
Meanwhile, the Goldman Sachs Computer Hardware Index ($GHA) crept up 2.6 percent, encouraged by a boost in shares of Hewlett-Packard (HWP) and Seagate Technology (SEG).
Compaq (CPQ) continued to waffle Friday, after Salomon Smith Barney downgraded the stock late Thursday. See full story. Other investment firms came to the defense of the PC maker.
Merrill Lynch, for one, said it believes Compaq's quarter is back-end loaded and believes the company is "comfortable" with inventory levels.
Compaq shares edged lower to 25 9/16, with 26.4 million shares changing hands. The Houston-based company will report its second-quarter results during the last week of July.

Well, I'm about to embark upon something I've wanted to do for years; create a pique assiette mosaic wall of sorts. Eventually I'd love to do a kitchen backsplash in my own home (which, um, I don't own yet), or maybe a restroom wall in a funky restaurant, but we'll see how I feel after I complete the Garden Room project.
Homeowner Suzan Z. shares her vision for the potting table structure with the general contractor. The lake overlook home in the Western North Carolina mountains will finally be complete at April's end, with the move-in date scheduled for the 29th. Been a long time comin'!
The Garden Room will be left open which is to say this entry way will not have a door. Likewise the window to the right. Around the corner from the stone column on the left is a huge family room with pool table, entertainment unit.
Fortunately, I will be able to create the installation at home doing it in pieces that can then be attached to the walls, table legs, shelves, etc. This is far preferable to doing it on-site, not only because the pottery pieces and chotzkies would be sliding down the vertical surface as soon as I applied them, but MY BODY WOULD DIE from all the standing, reaching, bending and kneeling. The Z's dog grotto project was a very Valuable Learning Experience in this very way.
Suzan drew out a rough version of what the potting table will look like. Approximately 8 feet across. I'll be covering the vertical back area, the faces of the shelves, and the legs. Probably more to be determined.
Here is the site as it looked a few weeks ago:

At the 2013 Starpack Awards, the Design Team of Staeger Clear has once again been recognised for innovation and creativity.
At a ceremony at the London headquarters of the Institute of Materials, Minerals and Mining (IOM3), the Waitrose Seriously Chocolaty Dark & Milk Chocolate egg packs were Highly Commended in the Technical Innovation Category.
The judges commented, "Novel improvement on board. The lid prongs that lock it down are brilliant. Simple, striking and looks very premium"
The products, Easter Egg and six truffles had to be well presented with a 360 degree viewing, fixed in place as not to move with the minimum of packaging.
The solution was to package the eggs in the company's Conbox tube. This has four parts, a special lid and base to hold the egg, a transparent tray to hold the truffles in place and locate the bottom of the egg and a printed and foiled recycled PET clear sleeve that forms the cylinder.
The whole tube can be delivered flat to the producer, designed to save transport and storage costs. For opening the consumer must teat open the perforated opening flap thereby releasing the top vac formed lid.
Staeger invested in special thermoformed tooling and gluing lines to fold in the fixing flaps on the sleeve.

Product Highlights
The Hybrid Lens Filter Kit from Freewell includes three different two-in-one filters for your DJI Phantom 4 Pro or Phantom 4 Pro+. These filters are a combination of neutral density and polarizing filters, providing the benefits both light reduction and polarization. The three filters (ND4/PL, ND8/PL, and ND16/PL) are all HD glass filters with multilayered coatings on both sides that improve shooting high-resolution videos with your quadcopter.
These filters cut light by two, three, and four stops, respectively, reducing the amount that hits the camera sensor, which helps create more natural looking footage and reduces negative shutter effects. Additionally, the polarization effect of these filters will cut down on reflections, as well as increase color and tonal saturation. In addition to the three filters, a lens cleaner and a traveling hard case are included.

text: So its been recently posted that there will be a new limited edition release around Aug. called the "groom" print. Its supposed to be similar to the cherries and panda bags, but features a bellboy holding luggage. Does anybody have any more info. about these new bags? Are they designed by Murakami? Has anyone seen them and can describe what they look like? I'm curious because I've been waiting for Murakami to create another design, so I'm hoping these are his creation, but they do sound a tad odd. Any additional info. on these new bags would be greatly appreciated!!! THANKS!

24winner Demo Account
Binary options offer an amazing opportunity to make a significant income in a relatively short period of time. However, before you become able to gain money efficiently, you need to have some sort of experience. After all, these are assets we are talking about here. 24winner is a prestige binary options platform that allows its users to use over 40 different payment methods, 3 types of accounts, and various options for trading. With all these possibilities at one's disposal, it is no surprise that 24winner has gradually become one of the leading binary options websites. Another reason why users are satisfied with the service can be attributed to the Demo Account option, which will be thoroughly elaborated on in the following text.
24winner Demo Account | How it works
The main purpose of the 24winner demo account is to authentically simulate the market conditions that are present on the 24winner website. Basically, the option allows someone who is a new user to explore the world of binary option trading and see if he or she is able to make a sound decision before truly handling the investments. If you are someone who is interested in earning some additional money, you can always make a demo account and take it for a spin. If it proves that you are good at making the correct decisions, you are ready to proceed further. Bear in mind that it would be best to start with the starter account, and use all the help available on the website. This way, you get the demo account at minimal price, and it is the best thing you can do as an unexperienced user.
24winner Demo Account | Why use demo account
As mentioned before, the main reason to use the demo account is to test how the whole system works, without any risk of actually losing money. The second reason is to gain the confidence needed in order to adequately participate in these trades. The third reason is to ascertain the degree of risk when handling the investments. It is truly an option that almost any new user is more than ready to try out.
The beauty of binary options lies in their simplicity, their user friendly interface, the variety of payment methods and stock trading options. You even have the possibility to reap the income that is 500% of the initial investment, but the key lies in preparation. Read through the available guides, use your broker training sessions and take time to think before investing. Most importantly, do not forget to use the 24winner demo account option, since it can make a golden opportunity to gain experience before you even start spending money. Finally, to avoid any confusion, the demo account cannot actually earn you any money. It can only provide you with an insight into how these trades work, but even with a minimum deposit account of $200/€200/£200, you receive a welcome bonus that goes up to $250/€250/£250. With enough research, you are bound to see just how lucrative binary options trading can be.CHECK OUT OUR LIST OF TRUSTED BROKERS HERE

By Layi Babatunde SAN
Continues from last week
- g) Systemic Corruption[7]: Systemic corruption describes a situation where corruption and corrupt way of life have become entrenched in the socio-economic and political fabrics of the society or a nation. In systemic corruption, the practice has reached a routine way of life and so does not generate adverse reaction on those on whom it is practised.
Under systemic corruption, all other types of corruption are rife and competes in ascendancy and pervasiveness. According to Robinson, under this system corruption is "routinized and accepted as a means of conducting everyday transaction" His Excellency, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo appears to be referring to the systemic corruption in Nigeria when he observed that "the main purpose of governance seems to be corruption".
It is common knowledge that corruption has become a way of life in Nigeria, and that even the least officer in a public office can hold a person to ransom in order to achieve a corrupt end. Also, corruption has become institutionalized to the extent that non receipted phony fees are demanded and collected from prospective applicants shamefully including students, by several government agencies. This troubling scenario has created a vast field of partakers and victims of corrupt practices, high and low alike.
(i) A dismissed/terminated/forcefully-retired Civil Servant is appointed Chairman or Director of an organisation owned by the same government that "punished" the civil servant
(ii) A business man" sets up a company in Kano and another "firm" in London, New York or Hamburg, imports from and exports to himself non-existent goods to transfer currency out of the country.
(iii) Electoral commissioners or officers are either unavailable for the filing of nomination papers by papers by particular candidates or they provide an insufficient number of voter-registration cards to particular constituencies.
(iv) Subsidiaries of multi-national companies declare huge profits to their metropolitan headquarters while publicly proclaiming losses in Nigeria.
(v) A Town Planning Authority routes a road through a political opponents landed property.
(vi) "Federal Character" is actualized by patronage to unqualified and incompetent cronies from various, sections of the Federation. (vii) A Lawyer takes a fee from a convicted prisoner to appeal his case but neither files for the appeal nor return to the prison to see his "client" until the expiration of the sentence.
(viii) A medical doctor performs an illegal abortion for a young girl in his private clinic but rushes the dead body to his colleagues in the General Hospital and a non-incriminating death certificate is produced.
Questionable declaration of assets
(ix) Another medical doctor issues, for a fee, a "sick-leave" for a very healthy employee to be excused from work for two weeks.
(x) The National Assembly deletes, from the enabling Acts, a clause that empowers the Code of Conduct Bureau to investigate/probe questionable declaration of assets.
(xi) Refrigerators, generators, furniture electric-kettles, etc "officially" purchased for the office are taken away for house-use. (xii) A lecturer has the letter-heads of the Editors of major journals in his field of specialization and writes himself letters of acceptance of manuscripts for publication.
(xiii) External-examiners/assessors, for thesis-examination or promotion, are "suggested" by the candidates to be examined or assessed respectively.
(xiv) A printer gets an extremely over-inflated contract to supply stationery to an Hotels Management Board with the "understanding" that everyone, from the manager to the accounts clerk, will get his share of the "extra".
(xv) Chairmen or Chief Executives of government institutions/ organisations/Departments approve the renting of their own houses to their institutions/ organisations/Departments at exorbitant rates.
(xvi) The market woman adulterates her yam-flower with cassava flower and pushes the bottom of the measuring tin inside to give the customer less than paid for.
(xvii) A Vice-Chancellor and the Chairman of the University Press has an arrangement whereby the Press "publishes" whatever he writes and the Chairman goes abroad on estacode allowance to see to the technicalities of the publication.
(xviii) To get your case called for hearing in Court, you must "see" the court-clerk; otherwise, you will be going to the court everyday without any hope of hearing. The list is endless! Suffice to say, that the above list were compiled in 1983!

Ray & Peggy Pierce
We had the short-sale (total misnomer) from hell. We were dealing with a first and second mortgage. The banks dragged their feet on approvals. The first offer ( 10 days after listing) was more than what was owed on the first, but after three months the buyer pulled his offer.
Throughout this 10 month process Ray & Peggy were very quick to find another buyer as one after another dropped out. We live 180 miles a way, so communication was important to us. They were always keeping us apprised of everything that was going on. Ray made weekly trips to check on the property.
The highest recommendation I can give is that if I ever had a property to sell or wanted to buy in the Hollister area Ray and Peggy Pierce would be the first people I would contact. They are GREAT!
I've done several deals with Ray and Peggy, there commitment and customer service are fully developed and highly seasoned.
These agents are five star! They are very knowledgeable of the real estate in the Hollister area. They always took the extra step and went the extra mile with us always being alert to properties that were what we were looking for. They made the purchase of our dream home very, very, easy.
We worked with Ray and Peggy when we were making a move to another area. They were helpful, knowledgeable, personable and just plain incredible in working with us! Ray was part counselor/part real estate agent as we navigated the twists and turns of selling our home. Peggy was awesome with guiding us through all of the paperwork related aspects. All in all an absolutely wonderful experience! Thanks, Ray and Peggy :-)
Ray and Peggy are truly the best of the best. If it had not been for their patience and understanding of my personal situation I would have lost my house to a foreclosure as opposed to a short sale and also the effort the put behind working with my lenders allowed me to come away after the short sale with minimum damage to my credit. THANK YOU for all your support and I will never forget you.
I have worked with Ray and Peggy for the past 13 years, and on multiple transactions. Besides being great people, they do a great job. They know their business, and most importantly, I trust them to give me straight advice.
President's Award, Top Producers Award, Reader's Choice Best Realtors Award, Realtor of the Year Award, Most referred Agents Award and Executive's Circle award.
"The most important decision you make in the sale of your home is the agent in whom you place your trust and your property."
When you've been in the real estate business as long as Ray and Peggy Pierce, you realize it's not about a column of numbers, it's about understanding people. Maybe that's why Ray and Peggy have been top real estate agents for twenty-two years running, through the "good times" as well as the tough times. Count on Ray and Peggy Pierce when it's time to sell your house, or look for a new home. They are only a phone call away.

When your hair feels brittle and hard to the touch, you might want to try this great homemade deep conditioning hair treatment that you can make in your kitchen. Although it's messy, it is fairly inexpensive and restores life back to damaged hair.
Take 1/3 cup of safflower oil or any other unsaturated oil and warm first before mixing with two egg yolks. (Do not make this too hot because it soon will be on your head!)
When this mixture is lukewarm, apply this treatment to your scalp and hair for at least two hours, wrapping in aluminum foil first before a towel.
At the end when you need to rinse this treatment out, you will need to shampoo your hair about three times. However, you will find your hair regains a beautiful softness from this recipe much like an expensive deep conditioner.

Getting The Most From Your Retirement Planning
Never let yourself get put into a position where retirement is impossible. Take your time today and start planning for these things. You will find some great advice in the following article about it. Think about what you have to do to retire.
Some people choose partial retirement. If you do not have adequate funds to fully retire, consider moving to a part time position. You can either work a part time job or cut your hours at your current job. You'll be able to relax some and can still make money until you're ready to switch to a full retirement later on.
Have you not been saving for retirement? Does this leave you feeling overwhelmed? It's never too late to begin saving. Look at your budget and decide on how much money you can save monthly. Don't worry if it's not an astonishing amount. Whatever you can afford to save is helpful. The sooner you begin saving, the more time the money has to grow.
It is very important plan your financial plans and insurance policy for whatever can happen. If you or perhaps your significant other requires eldercare Manhattan it is essential that you're ready to take on the financial hurdle to help keep your household afloat.
Find out about your employer's options for retirement savings? Take advantage of any retirement plans that your employer offers. Educate yourself as much as you can about the plan, how much you can or have to put in yourself, and when you can expect the money.
While it is important to put away as much as you can for retirement, you should also think about the type of investments you are making. Try to stay diversified to reduce risk. This way, you assume less risk.
Balance your portfolio every quarter. Do it too often and you are vulnerable to small market swings. Less frequently may cause you to miss some opportunities. Consider hiring an investment professional. They can help you figure out how your money will be best allocated.
It's important to downsize your monetary needs as you get closer to retirement, because you will need as much money as possible to get by during retirement. You may think you have your finances all figured out, but stuff happens. Bills and other huge expenses might throw you off your plan.
Figure out what kind of pension plans your employer has. If there is a traditional option, see if you have coverage and find out how it works. Before changing jobs, find out what happens to your pension plan. See if you will get benefits from your earlier employer. You might also be able to receive benefits from the pension plan of your spouse.
When you calculate your needs, plan to live the same lifestyle. You will need approximately 80 percent of your current income to maintain your lifestyle. So it is important to plan wisely.
Make friends with other retirees. Finding a good group of people who no longer work can be one way to enjoy your time. With your group of friends, you can do fun things that retired people like to do. It also supplies you with a support group on which you can rely when the need arises.
These tips were intended to help anyone contemplating retirement. The more planning you're able to do, the better things will go for you when the time comes. Don't think that you should hesitate and start working on the plans you need to work on.

Viz Media Debuts Bakuman by Death Note Creator
Headline - Press release
Posted by Bart Croonenborghs on Apr 16, 2010
Two Students Must Have Perseverance, Innovation And An Uncompromising Will To Succeed In The New Series From The Creators Of DEATH NOTE
San Francisco, CA, April 14, 2010 – VIZ Media, LLC (VIZ Media), one of the entertainment industry's most innovative and comprehensive publishing, animation and licensing companies, has announced the upcoming release of the manga series BAKUMAN。. The series, rated 'T' for Teens, will be released on August 3rd under VIZ Media's popular Shonen Jump imprint and will carry a MSRP of $9.99 U.S. / $12.99 CAN. Previews for the series will start to run in the May 2010 issue of VIZ Media's popular monthly manga anthology – SHONEN JUMP magazine which is on stands now.
BAKUMAN。is written by the author of DEATH NOTE, Tsugumi Ohba, and the artwork is by Takeshi Obata, the artist known for series such as DEATH NOTE, HIKARU NO GO and RALΩGRAD. The story follows average student Moritaka Mashiro, who enjoys drawing for fun, but when his classmate and aspiring writer Akito Takagi discovers his talent, he begs Moritaka to team up with him as a manga-creating duo. But what exactly does it take to make it in the manga-publishing world? Click on the image for a larger picture.
In the opening volume, Moritaka is hesitant to seriously consider Akito's proposal because he knows how difficult it can be to reach the professional level. Still, encouragement from persistent Akito and the motivation from a girl he has a crush on help push Moritaka to test his limits!
"BAKUMAN。is an outstanding, behind-the-scenes manga about manga, and the artists who create it, written and drawn by the creative team that produced the DEATH NOTE series," says Elizabeth Kawasaki, Senior Editorial Director at VIZ Media. "The series is a great read for all manga fans, and especially fun for aspiring artists."
Born in Tokyo, Tsugumi Ohba is the author of the hit series DEATH NOTE. The writer's current series BAKUMAN。is serialized in Weekly Shonen Jump in Japan.
Takeshi Obata was born in 1969 in Niigata, Japan, and is the artist of the wildly popular SHONEN JUMP title HIKARU NO GO, which won the 2003 Tezuka Osamu Cultural Prize: Shinsei "New Hope" award and the 2000 Shogakukan Manga award. Obata is also the artist of Arabian Majin Bokentan Lamp Lamp, Ayatsuri Sakon, Cyborg Jichan G, and the smash hit manga DEATH NOTE.
