"We take a look at all the apps Jio is offering to its customers"
After a long wait that seemed like eternity, Jio is finally stepping into the Indian telecom industry commercially. At the Annual General Meeting of Reliance Industries Ltd, Mukesh Ambani, the CMD of the company, announced the rollout of Jio's services starting September 5th, and details on the various tariff plans. Some key highlights of Jio's 4G LTE services include unlimited free local and national roaming voice calls to any network, 25 percent extra data for students, and a welcome offer that extends free services for all users till the end of the year.
One of the most notable announcements made by the company was free access to Jio's premium suite of apps for Jio users until December 2017. Now that is a big thing. Reliance Jio has revealed lots of applications for each and every task that you'd use the network for. For instance, there's an app for streaming music, one for live TV, as well as a cloud storage solution. So if you're wondering what all apps you can use and for what purpose, here's an overview of all the apps the company has on offer.
JioMusic, JioTV, and JioCinema
The above three apps from Jio are content-driven apps meant for entertainment on the go. As the name suggests, JioMusic is the company's own app for streaming high-quality music. The app allows its users to listen and download HD songs in over 20 languages, along with ad-free radio services. You can also enjoy your music by connecting your Android Wear device or Pebble Watch.
Next up is JioTV, which offers the users over 350 live channels spread across 10 genres and 15 languages. And that's not all, users can also pause live TV, set reminders or catch up with their favourite shows from the past seven days.
The JioCinema app is the company's one stop destination for premium Indian movies, TV shows and music videos. The video-on-demand service is available in multiple languages, with ad-free 1080p content and 5.1 surround sound.
Although access to these apps is free for the foreseeable future, for those of you who wish to continue the service after the trial, Jio has priced the monthly subscription at Rs 99, Rs 199, and Rs 349 for JioMusic, JioCinema, and JioTV respectively.
JioMags, JioXpressNews, and JioNewsPaper
JioMags is a magazine-reading service which allows easy access to a vast collection of premium and popular magazines across multiple genres and languages. The application offers an unlimited reading of all titles and archives in its library, as well as features like bookmarks and annotations.
If you like to follow all the happenings in the world, Jio has covered you there as well. On one hand, the JioXpressNews app provides categorised and curated articles from hundreds of news sources, magazines and blogs, while on the other JioNewsPaper allows you to read the latest newspapers in an e-paper format.
It's worth noting that after the free trial of the apps till December next year, JioNewsPaper and JioMags will be available for a monthly subscription price of Rs 99 and Rs 199 respectively, while the subscription to JioXpressNews will still remain completely free.
JioNet, JioDrive, and JioSecurity
Reliance Jio is also planning to set up thousands of hotspots across the country, and this is where the JioNet service comes into play. The app allows users to quickly locate and connect to the various Wi-Fi hotspots set up by the company without the hassles of repeated logins.
JioDrive is a multi-platform cloud storage solution just like Google Drive. Users can save up to 5GB of data in the cloud free of cost, with additional storage costing Rs 50 for 50GB, Rs 150 for 200GB and Rs 500 for 1TB every month.
Coming to JioSecurity, the app safeguards its subscribers against malicious websites and apps, along with the ability to block unwanted calls and test messages. Additionally, the app can also be used to locate or lost or stolen smartphone, or wipe its content if it cannot be found. The service has been priced at Rs 299 per month post the free trial.
JioChat and JioJoin
The JioChat app allows you to connect with your friends using rich messaging, voice calls and video calls. The app supports a wide array of stickers and video conferencing as well as features like sending files or following brands.
Meanwhile, JioJoin is a must-have app for those who are using non-VoLTE smartphones. With this app, you can make or receive voice or video calls with your Jio number even if your 4G phone doesn't support VoLTE.
JioMoney and MyJio
JioMoney is the company's own mobile wallet app. With the app, you can do mobile and DTH recharges, make everyday payments, send or receive money, pay insurance, and other premiums, and manage your finances. Users of JioMoney also get access to deals, discount coupons and cashback offers directly on their smartphone from local merchants.
Last but not the least, the MyJio app allows you to view all your account details. If you want to look at how much data is left in your account, or the number of free SMSes remaining for the month, MyJio is the app to use. You can also recharge all your linked accounts, change profile information or get help from Jio Care.
There you have it. That was a complete overview of all the apps Reliance Jio has an offer. Access to all these apps is completely free for Jio users until December 2017. After that, you can opt to subscribe to your choice of apps and services if you so wish to. Once again, it's worth noting that Reliance Jio is not only revolutionising the telecom industry by offering aggressively priced tariffs, but also with its ecosystem of premium apps designed to perform all tasks a normal smartphone user may find useful.

My name is Nathan Elliott, and I am an administrator here at the Marvel Database.
I am a big fan of the Marvel: Avengers Alliance flash game (MAA) and at SDCC 2013, I was able to catch up with the game's producer, Justin Woods after his Marvel Video Games panel.
I knew this might be a possibility, so I asked the MAA Wiki admins (or at least one of them) for some questions to pose to him (though I already had many of my own). So here's a listing of the questions I talked with him about and some of his answers:
- Marvel: Avengers Alliance (MAA)'s sister game, Avengers Initiative has had a somewhat questionable status for quite awhile now. Even the website interlinking both games, Marvel XP seemed to have taken a hiatus. What is the status of these products, and what is planned for them in the future? -- Mckrongs (paraphrased)
- This question was actually asked and answered in the Marvel Video Games panel. Avengers Initiative was well liked at Marvel, but wasn't financially pulling in enough funding to keep it viable. It is discontinued and Marvel XP is in transition. It was suggested that the Thor 2 game whose trailer was shown in the panel would make a perfect replacement for any desire to play Thor content.
- As a follow-up to this, I suggested to Mr Woods that he recommend someone put out an 'officially cancelled' memo explaining that these things will no longer be supported and what the conclusion(s) to the story(ies) would have been.
- In order to better explain who I was and who I was speaking for, I inquired to Mr. Woods if he and his team were aware of this wiki's existence and what their view of the site was. It was also asked if there were plans on creating something like this site officially by PD. -- Mckrongs (paraphrased)
- Mr. Woods was very happy to say that his entire team uses the Wiki on a fairly routine basis, and are thrilled that a community of fans enjoy their work to this extent. They have no plans to attempt to re-create the hard work and dedication this site has devoted to their content.
- The MAA Wikians are avid collectors of Artworks and sprites from the game and are interested in a partnership with Playdom (PD) where some or all of the images could be provided to the wiki while giving credit back to PD for the images that are used. -- Mckrongs (paraphrased)
- As stated before, Mr. Woods is a big fan of the wiki himself and liked the idea very much. He will be taking it back to his team to see if or how it could be implemented.
- What is the situation with Angel? -- Peteparker (me)
- There is a team working on specifically working on how to resolve this issue. We wouldn't feel right about taking this character away from anyone who had spent actual money fast-training or adding iso to this character, so we'll be looking for another way to give the adamantium winners the reward they deserve.
- What kinds of things are changing in Season 2? -- Peteparker (me)
- Almost everything is changing, except for the underlying battle sequences. We wanted to make the game new again for players who have been with us for a long time now, and adding new and interesting facets to the game like relationships is going to do exactly that. One feature that I am particularly excited about is being able to fight without your agent. Individual, hero-on-villain showdowns will finally be a real possibility.
The following questions were submitted too late to be asked directly, but I will do my best to answer with what I personally know based on the long conversation I had with him. If more clarity is needed on any of the answers, please let me know and I'll do my best to get a better answer directly from the source.
- How are you getting on with the bug fixes that I assume are on their way? -- Shadowhopeful
- MAA staff are working daily on bug fixes to both existing problems as well as problems with future content. In most cases, reasons for delays associated with content releases have to do with ironing out the bugs caught at the last minute.
- How much direction do you get from Marvel/Disney on what content to add? How much is left up to you? -- Potkettleblack
- The MAA staff has a very close partnership with Marvel and every decision regarding future content is green-lit by them or it doesn't happen.
- What factors go into picking a new character to add to the game? Hero or villain. Or even goons/redshirts/thugs. -- Potkettleblack
- Many factors go into picking characters for the game. One of the most common question Mr. Woods gets is, "Why isn't ______ in the game yet, he's a MAJOR character!" The answer there is that they don't want to bring out all of the major players right from the get-go, but want to have a long and happy story to tell for all of their players. So all of those major characters that are missing will eventually be in the game, but some B and C list ones have to fill the gaps to continue to make the content interesting.
- How much testing goes into various features before implementation? There are too many hero combos to test every one, much less agent gear/hero combos, obviously, but what do you do to keep new additions from breaking the game. -- Potkettleblack
- Several steps are taken to make every effort to find and remove bugs prior to the release of new content. However, since the programming team are human and can't catch everything, unexpected results sometimes make their way through the cracks. The code is run through line by line several times before release, the game is played by members of the PD team as often as possible, and metrics are analyzed regarding the use of each character, weapon, or character combination, among other things. When a problem arises, the fix is prioritized into a deep list of goals for the programming team. If it is severe enough, it will rise to the top of that list quickly.
- What's the typical day like for you? Meetings? Programming? Drinking? -- Potkettleblack
- It all depends on the day, but much of his time is used strategist. As there are many timing issues associated with developing new content, often one team encountering delays can lead to several other teams not having enough to do while waiting and then getting slammed to get their piece out the door. Between Story, Artwork, and Programming alone, weeks of work can go into each piece, and if it's not all timed correctly, the game will stop progressing. There's much more fun aspects of his job, including pitching story and character ideas and working with Marvel/Disney directly, but both he and his team are completely committed to delivering new content to the players.
The following questions will be posed to Mr. Woods at a later date. As answers come back to me, I'll report them to the Wiki:
- When adding a new character, how do you determine which aspects of the character to build in? A character like Spiderman seems pretty straight forward, but balancing someone like Fantomex, who in the comics has some level of psychic immunity, might be unbalancing, but, in light of Magneto and Juggernaut, isn't completely off the reservation. How do you weigh the powers described in the comics against the balance of the game? -- Potkettleblack
- If you could undo one decision you made during the first 16 months of the game, what would it be? -- Potkettleblack
- What do you consider the greatest success from the first year? How do you plan on building on that success, if it's not obvious by now (for instance, PVP tournaments)? -- Potkettleblack
- How do you monitor the various websites and forums and groups that discuss the game? Do you mine them for ideas? Do you monitor them as a way of taking the pulse of the game? Personally? -- Potkettleblack
- How cool is it that the game has been the massive success that it's been? Sorry, I had to dork out, but really, did you ever imagine it could be this big? -- Potkettleblack
- With the announced return of Marvel UK heroes, can we possibly expect to see heroes such as Death's Head, Dark Angel, Motormouth, Killpower, and their enemies in the future? And if so, which version of Death's Head would you be inclined towards using, classic, Death's Head II, Death's Head 3.0, or the way he appeared in the Iron Man Godkiller arc recently? --Eganthevile1
Finally, I was able to talk at length with Mr. Woods regarding Season 2. His excitement regarding what they have planned could hardly be contained. There are hopes it will be released before the end of the month, but the team is working as hard as possible to ensure that these major game changes don't break the existing experience.
If you have further questions for him or the PD team regarding this game, please feel free to leave them in the comments below. I don't know how many will be able to be answered, but I'll do my best to make sure the most popular ones are asked.
Thank you all, I'm a big fan of your work here as well.

Trapped in a dark cave, chased by giant spiders, surrounded by frightened Zubats, Jaylynn and Rufus discover something long lost and forgotten…
Forced into the sewers beneath Poketopia City, Rufus and Jaylynn have nowhere to go…
Rufus and Jaylynn walk into the darkness, only able to see by the Rufus' lighter. They see pinkish-purple blobs of slime in the sewer water. Rufus calls it acid, Jaylynn doesn't believe him. Jaylynn hangs the Caterpie on her finger over the water and touches the slime with the Caterpie's tail. Nothing happens. They come across a room to their right and enter it. Rufus finds a pipe and wedges it against the door. Jaylynn drops the Caterpie onto the ground. It starts crawling up her leg. She notices the tip of its tail has disappeared and the slime has slid slightly up its body. She takes out a pokeball and captures it. Rufus decides to go to sleep to heal up, Jaylynn trains with her Pancham for a couple hours before going to sleep. They wake up 7 hours later and walk outside the small room. They see two sets of footprints on the ground walking in the same direction they were originally heading. Rufus and Jaylynn decide to turn back the way they came. When they reach the point they entered the sewer, they see the cover is still removed and light is shining down. Jaylynn wades through the sewer water to get to the other side and not be seen by anyone aboveground. Rufus runs and dodges under the light to the other side. Jaylynn makes a sound accidentally, and they hear voices from above. They both start sprinting. They hear three people running behind them. They start to hear water roaring ahead, and come to a stop at a waterfall where all the sewers tunnels connect and empty into a 100ft deep hole with a 50ft diameter. Rufus looks back to see two police officers running toward him, and one of the bald headed children they had seen at General Steel's side. Rufus leaps off the edge, spinning around as he does so and flipping the the officers off with both arms extended at them. Jaylynn looks for something to climb down, and sees old rusty ladder rungs embedded into the wall where she stands. She climbs down a few rungs, then one breaks off and she falls down. The police officers and the bald child reach the edge of the tunnel. A third officer runs up behind them, points at Rufus, and shouts, "Hey, he's the one who stole my sword!" As Rufus and Jaylynn continue falling, Rufus still flipping them off, they suddenly freeze in mid-air. They see the bald child staring intently at them, one arm outstretched in their direction. The boy lifts his arm up, and Rufus and Jaylynn begin to rise. As they rise, they notice some pink slime starting to build up at the edge of the sewer-fall. The police officers and bald child do not notice it. Rufus releases Phantump from his pokeball and tells Phantump to push him back down. Phantump tries, but to no avail. The pink slime continues building up, multiple lumps rising from it. Arm-like appendages grow from each rising lump, and eyes appear from within the slime. A slit in the goop opens up on each lump like a mouth. The newly formed Grimers attack the police officers and the child. The child loses focus on Rufus and Jaylynn, who plummet back down the sewer fall. He turns toward the grimer, raising his hands. The Grimers launch themselves at their prey, but slam into an invisible barrier in front of the child. The police officers shout and draw their swords. The child is visibly straining to keep the barrier up.
Rufus and Jaylynn SPLASH! into the brown sewer water below. They see pink globs of slime in the water moving toward them. Rufus and jaylynn swim toward a sewer grate and squeeze through the bars, swimming as fast as they can away from the Grimer slime and the police officers above.
They enter into ancient cavern that looks like it used to be a thriving underground city, but is now in desolation and ruin. They climb out of the water onto one side of the abandoned city into what seems like it used to be the marketplace.Crumbling archways and buildings surround them, and Jaylynn sees what looks like a shattered painting on the ground to the left. Rufus and Phantump walk toward a crumbled archway and see a passage that leads into the wall behind it.
Jaylynn, studying the tattered, dusty painting on the ground sees that the painting is of the place they stand in now, when it was thriving. The sewer river they had swam in to get here looked like a clean, glistening waterway. Noticing that Rufus was walking into the dark tunnel, Jaylynn ran to catch up with him. Beforing entering the tunnel, she studied the outside of it, and discerned that it looked like it might have once been a secret passageway.
Upon entering the tunnel, their Pokedexes beep. They both look at the message, again from anonymous, telling them to get out of the sewers, not go exploring deeper in. Ignoring the message, Rufus pulls out his lighter and they walk down the narrow corridor. From behind them, they hear slurping, gooey sounds. They look back to see a small Grimer following them, about ten feet away.
Jaylynn releases Pancham, who tackles the Grimer. She then releases Caterpie, but only its heaed is left, the rest of its body consumed and eaten away by the pink slime. The slime squirms over to the Grimer and combines with its body. The Grimer releases a cloud of toxic gas, poisoning Pancham. The Grimer, injured by Pancham's brave attack, is angered at the intruders. It moves forward to retaliate, but Rufus draws his sword and slashes it through the Grimer, collapsing it. Pancham hacks, and they continue down the passageway.
The passage opens up into a small cave, sloping downwards. Glowing mushrooms lining the cave walls provide a small source of light. Jaylynn walks ahead with Pancham at her side, Rufus trailing cautiously behind. They notice sleeping Zubats covering the cave ceiling, but quietly continue ahead, until they hear hissing.
Four yellow spiders drop from the cave ceiling, blocking the path. Jaylynn and Pancham charge at the nearest, pummeling it and pushing past. Rufus and Phantump follow, the four of them sprinting past the Spinaraks as they trail closely behind, hissing and spitting at the humans. Rufus' lighter starts to go dim, the darkness surrounding them as they are forced deeper into the cave….
Deep below Poketopia CIty, in an underground cavern…
Resides a city of Dark Elves called Black Haven. These elves used to live aboveground in the open, as did all elves, but went into hiding after colonists arrived to Zuunto about a hundred years ago. The human colonists attacked the elves indiscriminately, driving them into hiding. Now, one Dark Elf, Nifiken, has studied Dragons and their ancient kind from the scrolls kept in Black Haven's church. He stole one of the scrolls with writings of a mighty dragon imprisoned in the Lava Pit, a forbidden place deep in the caverns connected by underground cave networks.
Another Dark Elf, Illywyn, who thought she was abandoned at birth, watched the city of Black Haven from one of her many ledges on the outskirts of Black Haven. She had grown up in the Lava Pit, befriending a Torkoal and finding a magic sword that can transform into a quill. She has never directly interacted with anyone before. As she watched Black Haven this day, she saw an Dark Elf approaching her ledge.
Nifiken and his Cubone climbed up the ledge Illywyn was perched on. Illywyn retreated into the shadows of the tunnel behind her and tried to hide against the wall of the tunnel. Nifiken immediately saw her hiding and drew his bow, aiming it at her. They skirmished for a few minutes, Illywyn knocked to the ground with Nifiken's bow aimed at her.
The cave started rumbling, pebbles and rocks falling from the ceiling. They ran back toward Black Haven, and saw the entire cavern Black Haven was in starting to rumble as rocks and boulders fell from the roof and one crushed the town's church.
They decided to go deeper into the cavern toward the Lava Pit, Nifiken's intended destination to locate the ancient Dragon, to escape the collapsing cavern. As they go deeper into the caves, Nifiken's Dragon scroll begins glowing red and heating up slightly. He also occasionally heard a hoarse, scratchy voice in his head, whispering "Come to me…" After many puzzles and shifting caverns, they entered a room filled with glowing mushrooms. Three Zubats screeched down the tunnel and attacked Illywyn and Nifiken. Nifiken fired two arrows from his bow, impaling one Zubat twice through the chest, instantly killing it. Illywyn palm-striked a second a Zubat, crushing its skull. Cubone smashed the third into the ground with its bone.
After Illywyn skins the Zubats and places their corpses in her cloak, they hear footsteps from ahead. Illywyn, Nifiken, and Cubone hid ein the shadows in the tunnel. The Dark Elf Elder from Black Haven walks into view, and Nifiken stepped out, recognizing him. The Elder appeared to be severely injured.
The Elder informs Rufus that while the cavern was collapsing, he found himself lost in passageways and tunnels that he had never seen before. Illywyn decides to reveal herself and steps out from the shadows. The Elder asks Nifiken and Illywyn to help him return to Black Haven. They agree to take him back once they reach the Lava Pit. The three elves traverse through the tunnels until they enter a room with three holes in the ground, leading to other rooms. Nifiken climbed down the left most hole into a small carved out room with a tiny, thin stream of water flowing down from what a hole in the wall. Metal bars covered the hole. The Dark Elves, having been underground for the past hundred years, don't have technology to make metal bars such as these. Peering through the metal bars, Nifiken discerns that the trickle of water is coming from some type of sewer. He is unable to brake the metal bars with his bow and arrow, so he climbs back up the hole with Illywyn's assitance. The rightmost hole has a pile of mangled Zubat carcasses directly below it, so they climb down the middle hole, leading into a pitch black corridor. As the three walk through the corridor, they hear skittering and scratching.
Illywyn notices tiny pieces of bone fragments littered on the ground. The three stride farther into the darkness until they reach a metal door. Illywyn recognizes the door as the entrance to a small room located next to the Lava Pit where Illywyn spends most of her time, as lava can be fairly hot. Before they can enter Illywyn's room, a small dark creature appears in front of it with gems for eyes and sharp claws. The Sableye grins and cackles, then leaps toward Nifiken. Illywyn, Cubone, and Nifiken proceed to battle the Sableye, protecting the Elder, until it retreats and phases through door into Illywyn's room. The group follows it inside, and Cubone smashes it with his bone. The Sableye hissed and phased through another door leading to the Lava Pit.
With the immediate threat of the Sableye gone, Nifiken gets a chance to look around the room. It's filled with advanced technology, computers, medical beds, and other various assortments that Nifiken nor the Elder have ever seen, and that Illywyn doesn't really know much about. Nifiken and the Elder, injured from the battle with the Sableye, decide to rest for a few hours while Illywyn keeps watch. When they awake, Nifiken notices a postcard of a beach on a stand near Illywyn. He recognizes the postcard, it being something that his little sister loved before she was kidnapped. He takes out a necklace with green gems he always carries with him that belonged to his sister. Illywyn vaguely recognizes the necklace. Nifiken realizes that this is his sister, but before they have time to capitalize on this realization, the Sableye phases through the door, climbing up the wall, hissing at them. Nifiken draws his bow, and Illywyn her sword. The Sableye leaps onto the Elder's head and plunges its claws into his eyes, ripping them out before Illywyn and Nifiken can react. Cubone charges toward the Sableye, who dodges away. Nifiken uses the dragon technique he learned from studying to swipe through the Sableye. It screeches in pain and turns invisible. As the Elder clutches his bleedig eye sockets, the Sableye reappears behind him and stabs a claw through the Elder's neck. Using this to their advantage, Illywyn, Nifiken, and Cubone attack the Sableye, who runs away and phases out of the room again.
The trio follow the Sableye outside into the Lava Pit cavern, where the Sableye is waiting. Nifiken charges it. The scroll he has in his possession is brighter and hotter than it ever has been, now that it's so close to the ancient Dragon. Nifiken channels the Dragon's power through him, and a translucent glowing dragon's tail grew from behind him. He swung his tail at the Sableye, knocking it back into the Lava Pit, where it disintegrates. Illywyn and Cubone join Nifiken at the edge of the Lava Pit. Illywyn's Torkoal approaches, happy to see Illywyn returned safely. Nifiken, however, hears the voice in his head much louder. It whispers to him, telling him to step in the lava, take the final step, trust me, come to me. Illywyn looks worriedly at him, and asks what's wrong. Nifiken, torn between the voice and his sister, steps out over the lava. Illywyn tries to grab him, but they both fall in. Cubone and Torkoal watch in shock as their partners sink below the lava. Illywyn's body disintegrates in the lava, but Nifiken's body remained intact. The voice spoke again, "Serve me, and gain all the great power you seek, or you will die in this lava." After hesitating, Nifiken accepts, and his body rises from the lava with glowing draconic energy encompassing his body, and two translucent dragon wings extending from either side of him. A giant Hydreigon rises behind Nifiken and fades away. Nifiken steps back onto the ground, and Illywyn's body begins to reform from the lava back on the ground.
The energy fades away from Nifiken, and he and Illywyn officially reunite. Illywyn asks where the ancient dragon is. Nifiken hears the voice again, "I am within you." They realize the Hydreigon, now using Nifiken as a vessel, had resurrected Illywyn from the lava, and had also been the one who kidnapped Illywyn as a child and brought her to the Lava Pit.
Nifiken and Illywyn return to Black Haven, and the Hydreigon inside Nifiken tells him that the cavern had collapsed because of an explosion caused by the humans aboveground. Nifiken and Illywyn decide to rally the Dark Elf people, and finally return to the surface to confront the humans, hoping to make peace, but prepared for war. Nifiken and Illywyn lead the people to the sewer entrance that they had discovered earlier, ready to return to the world above.
For 15 years, the Zuunto region has lived in relative peace. All that changes on this day.
Rufus, a 17 year old street-smart thief, and Jaylynn, a 17 year old country girl now in the Big City, have witnessed the first terrorist attack in fifteen years. The Professor's Lab in Poketopia City exploded, killing and injuring dozens of people during the 15 year anniversary of the end of the Civil War as the parade going through Poketopia City passed by, led by General Steel and two bald teenagers in gray jumpsuits on either side of him.
Previously on LoZ… Today is the 15th Anniversary of the end of the Civil War. Today is the day of the first act of terrorism to occur in Poketopia City in 15 years.
Today is the day the Professor's lab exploded.
Jaylynn stood on the roof the towering Shopping Center in the middle of Poketopia City. A few streets over, a ball of fire enveloped the Professor's Lab, debris flying out in all directions. She heard the faint screams echoing. Anyone who was in the building during the explosion would surely have been incinerated, nothing but ashes now. The parade marching down the street past the Lab, however, was a whole other situation. Bodies scattered the streets, some impaled or bashed by debris and bleeding out. Others burned until their vocal cords were so burnt not a sound could escape, and soon their life escaped the burning torment.
As Jaylynn watched in horror, Pancham, her Pokemon, hugged her leg tightly, looking up at her with wide eyes. Sirens added to the chaos, snapping Jaylynn out of her daze. She returned Pancham to her pokeball, and ran back to the fire escape at the side of the building she had used to climb to the roof. She climbed down the fire escape as fast as she could, not caring how much noise she made. At the bottom, she jumped the remaining few feet onto the ground in the alley.
Rufus ran into the alleyway, away from the heat and the screams and the sirens seeming to come from all directions. He heard clanging above him, and a girl with blue-tinted skin, the same one he saw earlier that day, drop from the fire escape. He drew his stolen knife and waved it in her direction.
Jaylynn, being more athletic, shoved Rufus against wall, pinning him. Before he could react, they heard static emanating from their pokedexes, and saw all the electronic billboards in the city displaying static. A deep, static-y voice spoke from their pokedexes, as well es every other Pokedex and billboard across the City.
"Citizens of Poketopia, you have lived in peace for the last 15 years, benefiting from stolen technology, while thousands of people all across Zuunto starve, suffer, and die every year. What do you do about it? Absolutely nothing. You've lived in peace inside your walls and never spared a thought for the needy and desperate outside your moat. But now, all that changes. Now, a new age has begun. Pray to your gods if you want, pray to Arceus, and Mew, and the Swords of Justice, and what will they do? They will do nothing to help you, as they never have. Prepare yourselves, for an age of Renewal has begun."
The static cuts off. Jaylynn and Rufus, confused, see their faces suddenly displayed on the electronic billboards and on their Pokedex screens with a headline that reads TERRORISTS WANTED FOR THE POKETOPIA CITY BOMBING.
Jaylynn releases Rufus and turns to walk down the alley. Rufus peeks inside the dumpster, unable to curve his new addiction despite being accused as terrorists. Inside is a dirty Caterpie squirming among the trash. Rufus slams the lid shut and puts a single piece of duct tape to seal the Caterpie inside for all of eternity. Jaylynn sees him doing this and, appalled at his inconsideration for the little Caterpie, rips the tape off and reaches into the dumpster to rescue the Caterpie. It bites her finger, and she lifts it out. They hear police sirens coming in their direction, and they both start running down the alley.
Once they reach the end of the alley, Rufus and Jaylynn try to hide so they aren't noticed by the police running down the street. Jaylynn, however, is spotted by a young officer. He runs toward Jaylynn as she retreats back into the alley. The officer steps into the alley, his sword drawn, and tells her to freeze in the name of the law. Rufus, still unnoticed in the shadows, trips the officer. As he falls over, he quickly grabs a pokeball and chucks it at Jaylynn, releasing a Growlithe. The officer twists as he falls and lands on his back, pointing his sword up at Rufus. The Growlithe leaps at Jaylynn, and instead of using the Caterpie as a distraction, she takes the attack, the fire dog's claws raking down her chest.
Rufus sweeps his leg out, knocking the police officer's sword out from his hands and flipping it into the air air. Rufus catches the sword's grip as it flips in the air and kicks the officer's face, knocking him unconscious.
Jaylynn sprints toward the Growlithe in front of her, and it leaps into the air, claws outstretched. She ducks beneath it and runs past the dog as it soars over her, its claws raking through air.
Jaylynn and Rufus run out of the alley and toward a manhole cover in the midst of the street. Jaylynn pulls the manhole cover off and pushes it to the side. She jumps into the Poketopia City Sewers, and into the darkness. Rufus looks down into the hole, seeing a barely illuminated Jaylynn. He glances behind him and sees the Growlithe charging directly at him. He looks back into the sewers and jumps in. Rufus and Jaylynn look up and see one of the bald-headed children that had been accompanying General Steel during the parade looking down at them. Rufus and And Jaylynn move out for the small ring of light darkness all around them. Before moving into the dark with only light from Rufus' lighter, they see one of the bald-headed children looking down at them. Rufus and Jaylynn step into the darkness, with only a small lighter to light their path and a Caterpie still biting Jaylynn's finger.

Reading Bekka Black's iDrakula changed my life. It opened me to two whole new series of novels that are now my favorites. Naturally, the minute I opened iFrankenstein, Black's latest addition to her iMonsters series, two things happened: 1) I read her retelling of the classic in one sitting, my eyes glued to my PDF reader; 2) I became immediately fascinated by the world of Frankenstein and what the original novel represents as a whole.
iFrankenstein is uncommonly inventive and shrewd. The minute I realized the author's modern twist on the horrific creation by the young genius protagonist, I had to smile. First, the author planted a fascinating idea in her novel, reminiscent of the thriller plot in the 2008 film Eagle Eye. Victor Frankenstein is no longer a very young scientist in training in the midst of an eighteenth-century Swiss backdrop — he's a teenage tech whiz on holiday with his parents, simultaneously developing a computerized, self-sufficient chat machine that's alive only on the Internet. Or so he thinks. However, his electronic creation quickly becomes a technological terror that threatens the lives of his best friends Henry Clerval and Elizabeth Lavenza. But how can you stop an out-of-control computer program from destroying your life?
The European cruise, with Iceland as its penultimate destination, cuts the story to a time period of about a week. This is a suspenseful change, as Shelley's tale spans nearly a decade. Victor himself is an American tourist, Elizabeth is a close best friend, and Henry makes a bold comrade-in-arms. The romantic twist is insightful, as is the reason for Henry's special empathy for V.V. Black's main characters are very human and recognizable, their plight and family problems serving as a helpful, realistic standpoint in order to make the incredible a more plausible theory for today's audience.
Unlike in Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, this Frankenstein monster has no feelings at all. From the moment of its existence, there is absolutely no reason to even sympathize with this cold-blooded, "pure energy" mechanism. The e-monster Frankenstein, "V.V.", has no emotion — it is incapable of human sentiment. Like the computer system in Eagle Eye, V.V. is unleashed for initially helpful purposes. Unfortunately, the program's creator unwisely ignores the possibility that an automated device could gain unbridled power over the dependence human society has on electronic communication. The result is absolute chaos. V.V. is a terrorist without a conscience or any morals, inflicting pain and selfish judgment on its creator purely because it has grown too strong and self-reliant as an online entity. I had compassion for the monster's neglect at the hands of Victor Frankenstein in the original, but Black makes the good and bad sides in her version of the story as clear as transparent glass. Victor still has his faults, but the e-monster is never abandoned or rebuked; it simply turns into a vision of pure evil on its own, mercilessly wreaking havoc without any real motives for its newfound "hatred." Furthermore, the perplexing idea of creation and the responsibility surrounding such an act is, ironically, even more dangerous now (and deadlier) than Shelley ever imagined. Especially the way this Frankenstein monster could be immortal as well.
Swift and determined, the plot of iFrankenstein has the power to completely capture your attention from the moment you scroll through the Interpol investigator's mysterious preface until the novel's even more mysterious ending. All events are detailed by journalistic iPhone entries in the form of text messages, emails, and web browsing. As a sequel to iDrakula, iFrankenstein proudly ups the artistic stakes (no pun intended) by including snapshots of selected paintings and quotes. Just like with its iMonster predecessor, I had a thrilling time from beginning to finish with this visual roller coaster of dark, albeit scintillating amusement.

[NOTE: An endless "thank you" to Ms. Rebecca Cantrell, a.k.a. Bekka Black, for sending me a special ARC e-book copy of iFrankenstein prior to its release — I was honored to be its first reader!]

my life: my sunday
I find so much joy in the Sunday routine that Wildcat Guy and I have. On this particular Sunday, it was even more special because we got to celebrate Easter together. Hallelujah!
Also part of my Sunday? The amusing surround-sound snoring I experienced this afternoon while I was sitting at the kitchen island working on my small-group work. To my left, Gru was sleeping and snoring on the couch; and to my right, Wildcat Guy was sleeping and snoring in the bedroom. I couldn't help but chuckle.

VIDEO: French Catholics forcibly removed, arrested for praying Rosary in Church
PARIS (ChurchMilitant.com) – Faithful Catholics were forcibly removed and arrested for praying the Rosary in a Catholic church in Paris.
In response to an ecumenical service held in the Parish of Our Lady of White Mantles commemorating the 500th anniversary of the Reformation, about a dozen young Catholic men made reparation for what they deemed a sacrilege by praying French and Latin prayers and hymns during the service. After jeers from Catholics and Protestants in attendance, the men were arrested, some carried out of the church.
Caroline Bretones, the "pastor" of the United Protestant Church of the Marais, was invited to speak in the Catholic parish, dressed in clerics and appearing as a female "priest."
Medias-Presse-Info, a French speaking site, posted the video, noting, "The madness being without limit, these young Catholics were evacuated manu militari [with military aid] by the police for having prayed the Rosary in a Catholic church!"
"Young Catholics have expressed their opposition to seeing Protestantism, fought and condemned by the popes and the Council of Trent for centuries, to infiltrate the Catholic Church today," the article continues.
While the organist tried to drown out the men's voices, it was clear many of those in attendance were angered by the men's presence. Some argued with the men and harassed them, one lady even smacking one of them in the face with a piece of paper. They continued kneeling in prayer until police arrived and forcibly removed them.
While much of what is being said is unintelligible owing to the the loud organ music, you can hear them singing Christus Vincit, "Christ Victorious," when police remove them from the church.
Father Benoît-Marie Roque, the parish priest of Our Lady of White Mantles, wrote about the event on the parish website, noting that just over 150 people attended and they had "a celebration, obviously not eucharistic, whose stakes were strongly emphasized by different events."
Father Roque explained that preparations for the event took a long time. Leaders of different parishes met with groups led by video "reflections" from the various clergy. Together, they developed "95 Reasons to Hope," a collection of biblical passages to counter Martin Luther's 95 theses.
The vast majority of comments on Medias-Presse-Info are supportive of the young men. One comment left by a man named Patrick reads:
I see a lady dancing in the church, young people who are being attacked by another lady who hits them with leaves and treats them as "[expletive]". Then the police intervene to brutally expel young people who are praying. One of the police officers holds one of the youngsters firmly by the collar to talk to him. Is this the way for a representative of the order [to behave]? Then,as they continue to pray, they are lined up against a wall. The police take them out one by one as if they were going to the scaffold.
Our Lady of the White Mantles has been "a sanctuary dedicated to the Virgin (Aunnunciation) since 1258." A number of church buildings have stood on that spot, with construction of current one started in 1685. The history of the parish explains, "Notre-Dame des Blancs-Manteaux is, presumably, in Paris, with the Cathedral and after it, the oldest sanctuary dedicated to [Our Lady]."
This event follows a similar protest at the cathedral of St. Michael and St. Cudula in Brussels in late October. The cathedral was the site of an attack by Protestants in the 16th century where Protestants destroyed sacred images they called "idolatrous."
There, 12 men linked arms while reciting the Rosary to make reparations for an ecumencial service commemorating the Protestant Reformation. The protestors were heckled by people there to "celebrate," while the organ and choir attempted to drown out the sound of their prayers before police arrived to remove them from the church.
One of the men spoke with Church Militant, who asked to remain anonymous, explaining his inspiration.
"We didn't do it in a spirit of polemics towards faithful priests," he clarified, "just in a spirit of reparation and resistance against profanation and celebration of a revolt against the Holy Catholic Church."
He added, "We were in part inspired by The Catholic Gentleman, and I also listen to your Resistance podcasts for some good advice, of course. I'm a regular viewer of ChurchMilitant.com content."

How to Choose the Best Australian Forex Brokers0
There are a lot of Australian forex brokers looking to get your business. It is important that you know how to choose the best Australian forex brokers. If you do not know this then you could end up using a broker that is bad for your trading. When you do this you will find yourself making a loss on the market.
The Fees You Have to Pay
Most online forex brokers do not charge commissions to execute trades. The broker normally makes his money on the spread between the offer and bid prices. Some of the brokers provide you with a choice of a commission-based pricing structure or a smaller spread cost. Some brokers offer a per trade commission basis. If this is the case with your forex broker of choice, you need to calculate if this is to your advantage rather than choosing the spread-based method.
What is the Leverage You Can Get?
Leverage can be viewed as good or bad. Over the past few years the maximum leverage offered to traders has been reduced by regulators. In Australia and the UK, you may still be able to obtain leverage levels as high as 200 to 1, but in the US the levels have been reduced to 50 to 1. The professionals in this market have stated that brokers who offers their clients leverage levels or more than 200 to 1 do not offer concern for the client and that they are probably not registered with any of the regulatory boards in that region.
The Resources Australian Forex Brokers Offer
You need to know if the broker offers you all the necessary tools for you to trade effectively. There are several questions that you need to pose to ascertain this.
- Do they offer a user-friendly trading platform?
- Do the reporting options include monthly statements, detailed transaction listings and profit and loss reports, etc?
- Are you comfortable with the trading platform on offer?
- Are charting tools available?
- What types of charting tools are available?
- Do they offer mobile trading?
- What types of reporting options are available?
- Are Android apps available?
- Do they issue rate alerts?
- Are iPad or iPhone apps available?
- How are the rate alerts delivered to you?
- Do they provide live commentary and if so, how often do they provide it?
How Good is the Order Filling?
You should be aware of the procedures regarding your stop-loss or take-profit order fulfilling. You need to know if your stop-loss sell orders will be filled as soon as the set bid price matches the stop price. You also need to know if these stops are guaranteed. If the stops are guaranteed, confirm any other terms and conditions linked to this type of guarantee. If you research online brokers, you should be able to find this type of information on their websites.
How Good is the Customer Support?
As this trading market operates 24 hours of each day, you need to know if your forex broker offers this level of support. The best forex broker will normally be available 24 hours per day to allow adequate support for their clients. You need to determine the methods of access to customer support. Will you be able to access customer support by telephone, email and chat? The customer support offered by brokers varies greatly and you should ensure that you are happy with the level of support available.
These are a very small number of the points you should consider. Most importantly, you need to be sure that you find the best forex broker who is reliable and trustworthy.

About Us
Why the Internet of Things Matters to Real Estate
How you do business today will most likely be very different from how you do business in the very near future. Devices that can help us better control our homes, and better understand how we live in these homes will be prevalent on the market within the next few years. The more you know as a REALTOR® the better for your business. In this article, we are going to discuss what is on the market, what it means for your business, and how you can get more information on this topic.
To start, let's define the term Internet of Things. The Internet of Things refers to devices that you can control remotely and also gather data on their usage. There are different types of Internet of Things objects. In this article, we are going to discuss those objects that are within the home. You may have already heard the term smart home. This is referring to the vertical of Internet of Things devices that are made for the home. Mostly, these are everyday objects, like thermostats, locks, smart cameras, and lights. The data from these devices allow us to make better decisions about how we live. For instance, the thermostat can let you know what your average temperature is in the home and allow you to control it for your comfort as well as energy and money savings.
Why does this matter to real estate?
The first reason it matters to REALTORS® and real estate is because it matters to consumers. According to a 2015 survey from Coldwell Banker and CNET, it was found that nearly 45% of consumers either own or will own smart home technology by the end of 2016. Also, 54% of people selling their homes would add this technology if it meant their homes would sell faster. Of those 54%, 65% would spend between $1,500 or more. These numbers indicate a tipping point in this space.
The second reason it matters to real estate is because it matters to other industries. Utilities and insurance companies are offering discounts on their services, the installation and monitoring of these devices. As an example in Chicago, ComEd, the local utility company, is currently offering $100 rebates on smart thermostats from Nest and Ecobee if you enroll in their energy monitoring program. These devices typically cost about $250. Liberty Mutual will give you a Nest Protect, a $99 smart CO2 detector and smoke detector, and up to 5% off of your premiums if you install it. Such initiatives are enticing consumers to use these technologies.
Another reason it matters to real estate is because it could mean a great way for you to continue a relationship beyond the transaction. Giving these devices as closing gifts often leads to discussion about other devices. So, giving a new homeowner a smart device allows you to continue the discussion about what it might mean to have smart lights or smart plugs in the home as well. Simply put, the more you know about these devices, the more you extend your value proposition to consumers.
What issues are there around these devices?
With every new area in technology, there are benefits as well as challenges. Internet of Things and smart home technology are no different. There are challenges to be aware of, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't work with these devices.
For instance, if you are selling a home that already has smart home technology in it, you want to make sure you are resetting that technology before closing. If you do not reset this technology, the previous owner still has access to it. As an example, a home was sold recently that contained a thermostat in it. A few days later, the buyer called the agent and said that they couldn't control the thermostat, it was continually moving upward and raising the temperature. The agent reached out to the seller to find that the seller was changing the temperature because he still had access. So, to help you with this, we worked with the online trust Alliance to create a smart home checklist.
Another challenge can be around security and data privacy. The best advice I have for security is always make sure you use strong passwords. You can follow this link to find how to set strong passwords. Also, when you are looking at a product for purchase, search that product name along with the phrase 'security issues'. You can also keep up-to-date on issues around security on our blog at crtlabs.org.

Defamer CSA: That Wig Isn't Fooling Anybody
In our first-ever Defamer Celebrity Service Announcement, an eagle-eyed operative offers some helpful advice to celebrities trying to avoid detection in public places:
June 22 at 3:00 PM: Was at Ralph's on 3rd and La Brea, checking myself out at the U-Scan lanes, when a woman with a bad blonde wig came up to the Manager's Desk to ask a question. I stared at her long enough (the wig was that bad and that obvious — think blonde mullet) to realize that [Lost's] Evangeline Lilly was hidden under it. I wanted to tell her that people stared at her more because of the blonde wig rather than if she came au naturale....
As a famous person on a hugely popular television program, Lilly is right be to concerned about being torn limb-from-limb by downmarket, swarming supermarket patrons while haggling over some just-expired coupons. (This is precisely the reason that savvy celebrities shop at Whole Foods, where doormen turn away all civilian customers trying to smuggle in cameras or autograph-ready headshots, allowing their VIP clientele an unmolested opportunity to fondle produce.) If one is truly committed to the preservation of privacy during unavoidable trips out in public, one should engage the services of one of the city's world-class make-up artists or cosmetic surgeons, not carelessly entrust their safety to a store-bought fright wig.
