PUPPETS they are at it again
By by John W'
March 2012
Just a Call
I can hear the voice of the late Comrade Gabriel Shikongo Nuunyango, echoing in the corridors of the afterlife: "Eyokaihalipuuuzigo!" (I suspect that's his version of a puppet).
And another Villager is credited for saying:
Kuulumenhu okuundju, kuwete omashenge eshiihaanduluko. Translated: Aaye! These guys are too sensitive to appreciate such wisdom. It would be to the detriment of any publication. Minority, as they are in the Village, control most of the corporate Namibia. If they are not heading human resource departments, they are in charge of the corporate sections. You know, moss! No publication can exist without adverts.
The Villager loves them though. There is probably no family (in the African context) without such people. In my village, such people know their space. Gone are the barbaric days of sticking a hot stick in their behinds or cutting off their forefingers. After all, omuntuihayelangaashieyi (a person is never as clean as an egg).
At least we know about boys, like any other researcher, The Villager wanted to find out how girls who try to operate from the left are discouraged, nobody seems to know, even though the elders acknowledge they have always existed. Thus, The Villager has a feeling that villagers know the formula. It's just that they don't want to share it with The Villager for the same reason liberators don't like sharing with the born-frees how they dealt with sellouts and wavers-cum-puppets.
Oh! That word has a way of triggering mixed feelings in an independent Village. How can a real man; man of high integrity; a role model, take pride in using his hammer to break, instead of using his trowel to build? How can you undercut the ladder on which you are standing? Call it crazy but it's happening.
If there is one thing The Villager longs for is the writing and documenting of Villagers' individual involvement in the liberation of The Village - a strength Villagers from other liberation movement countries have exploited to the fullest. Who can remind them that they are not growing younger? Sooner than later the Heroes Acre will run out of space. And the only stories Villagers will know will be of those mbayakwata ongombe komushila shi tayithanganya omwenyo guli pokupwamo (who does not know that by 1985 the apartheid regime was grasping for fresh air?)
These visitors-cum- Villagers have already started their summons. They are now becoming the guiding torch and moral fibre of The Village. Today they are being vocal trying to guide public opinion as per their gospel. The Villager shall remain an outright global Villager. He has never dreamt of settling elsewhere. His roots are in Oluno and tell you what; his cultural and political values were brewed there.
Somebody somewhere is being stupid and ignorant. How do you explain a situation whereby a journalist is able to graphically paint a picture of the Cabinet or Swapo Party Central Committee meeting? All in the name of anonymity? That's bull. How do you entrust The Village to such a Villager if they already cannot keep their own promises made under oath of secrecy? Is it correct to question their personal relations and friendship with some publications owners and journalists? Should Villagers put them under a microscopic radar and declare them prime suspects? EE! What is good for the goose should be good for the gander.
Why not if companies associated with The Villager get tenders because he is a friend to so-and-so... you know, moss? Sooner, than later, they will be asking all chief administrators to promise not to have friends for as long as they remain in the payroll of the Government.
Guess who is going to end up getting the jobs? Visitors. In the final analysis, Villagers are only worth the salt for as long as their bank accounts are only credited once per month. Beyond that, it's criminal.
Is the latter perhaps not the reason why the Swapo party congress always produces casualties beyond recovery? The Villager contends that it's real. Why? The surface is always harder for Villagers who burn in the pot. The Villager also contends that the end of 2012 will likely not to be an exception. The question is: Why does the same not happen in the west?
The Villager has vowed not to be a tea boy for the rest of his life. Yes, he knows he is a very reliable driver but you are mistaken if you think he was going to transport your kids to and from school till he grew white hair. Hope now you understand the real reason why he left your empire decades ago.
The Villager normally doesn't like questioning political credibility of other Villagers. However, lately he has been forced to sit back and ponder on the question kutjawaar was jy (born-frees excluded) when things were hot? Ages should be enough for a barometer to account for the Villager's political CV. The Villager was once invited to address a NANSO anniversary by the previous leadership. As much as it was an honour, he declined.
The rationale was that he had never made it to the national leadership of the same. He encouraged him to rather contact the pioneers of the same. Where those Villagers belong to (politically) should not be the issue. And if that was an issue, how come Villagers did not question Villagers who are currently in the Party leadership but chose to be something else during the liberation war?
Like all other virgins, The Villager would not be suprised if their political virginity ended up being broken by some uncircumcised idiot.
Besides, The Villager is not qualified in any way to know his political CV as he operated behind the red-line. Nanso was introduced by the likes of the late Cde Gabriel Shikongo Nuunyango (the father of the jack of all trades and master of all in the art world, Ndasuunye Papa Shikongeni) using an NUNW platform (1986) at Oluno.
Then came the youthful group led by the then NANASO President, Paul Kalenga accompanied by the likes of David Imbili and Vero Mbahuurua at the old Ongwediva in mid 1986. Boy! Their resolve and resolute inspired the Villagers in attendance to the core. Kalenga and company discouraged us not to vandalise or burn down schools as "Independence was coming".
Another wave followed in 1987 under the leadership of Dr Shejavali assisted by Samson Ndeikwila, Nangula Kathindi and the resident pastor Jairus Uugwanga at Onguta Parish, Linekela Ndadi who was the vise president of the SRC and The Villager (guess what was his position) met the delegation at the pastor's house. Dr Shejavali and company reinforced the message of the Kalengas. It was them who gave the two Villagers the insight on SCM (which The Villager never joined) and Ecumenical Youth Student.
The political life of students at Oluno Senior Secondary School was very much under The Villager's command. Whereas the military side of the students was spearheaded by the late Leonald Auala (oshiliedhinaekoogidho) with his foot soldiers of Kristian Damased Kangoya Awene, Luther Kaunda Moongo again (edhinaekoogidho), Timoteus Akweenda. Since their mission was more military-oriented, their command structure was totally different from the rest. But yes! The Villager was the link. A great deal of what Villagers of his age know about the art of sleeping with the enemy came from late Nuunyango. My own brother was a member of SWATF.
After serious political indoctrination, the logical thing to do in order for Villagers to prove you was to be a part of the movement (in hindsight much more like the Arkaeda style). The Villager's easiesttarget was to kill all the soldiers who used to converge in his brother's room, especially on month-ends. That's when The Villager observed how stupid it is to celebrate the month-end. They would drink to the point of getting into a comma. The late Nuunyango advised The Villager against the killing.
Instead, he encouraged him to always keep his brother's room clean and display his photos in the brown uniform and everything else including his R5 rifle. The room became the storage facility of PLAN's hardware. After every attack of SWATF – 101 Battalion and the Koevoet bases which were probably just two kilometers away from The Villager's house; they would sweep clean all the suspects' houses. Hope now you understand why my brother's room was never swept.
The other storage place was right in front of the entry to the classrooms (Standard nine and 10). In the name of cleanliness, the puberty-stricken youth used to plant Okangwena (lawn) and make it punishable if learners were caught walking on the same. Kaunda, Leonard and Timo were notorious for that. The Villager is sure that Villagers who were there at Oluno that time have different versions to this story as they didn't know the underlying reasons back then.
Recently, a Villager was accused of having been a collaborator around the same time.
After careful listening, The Villager told them that he would not have known much about those who were underground on the opposite side. But he directed them to one of the people in the thick of things on the other side of the divide. But all The Villager assured them of was that the Villager in question was never part of his operations. Allow the Villager some space to blow his horn if that's what it would take. He is proud to say some of his direct political educational fruits are Villagers like Hon Samuel Peyavali Mushelenga and Elijah Irimali who is condemned to teaching.
On two occasions, he was denied an opportunity to become a local authority councilor after he was removed from the list. By who? It continues to haunt The Villager as it's being spearheaded by people who, during those times, spent their time singing under the umbrella of the Student Christian Movement (which was penetrated by the then regime through Etango) as opposed to the progressive Ecumenical Youth under CCN.
Oh! The Villager believes truly that a domesticated lion will never be a dog. It will always remain a lion. One day for sure, the lion will go back to the forest. That is where it belongs.
From where The Villager stands, true politicians are Villagers who stand for the values of the liberation struggle. Villagers, who have known no other movement and were educated under Swapo values, matured practicing the Swapo culture and will live for and on behalf of Swapo. Villagers understand that The Village was not liberated in order for Villagers to be restricted as to where they must pursue to be empowered academically and economically. Villagers appreciate that it's stupid to lead the economic struggle behind the pack.
Villagers understand that it's wise to preach the doctrine of empowerment when they are not empowered. Villagers understand the deeper meaning of freedom, unity, democracy and empowerment. Villagers are able to detect hired puppies to create disharmony and divisions in the only political home many Villagers have ever known. PF

The Baby Boom has long since turned into the Geezer Boom, creating multiple challenges for policymakers. We often see these challenges in negative terms — geezers won't pay for public schools; geezers will bankrupt Social Security; geezers hate taxes, loud noises after 9 p.m., barking dogs, open garage doors and anyone who can still have sex without Viagra.
But there are points of intergenerational convergence. Such as cycling.
Elected officials and economic development gurus tend to see cyclists as members of a younger, more active demographic. Geezers walk, garden, complain and post pictures of their grandkids on Facebook — they don't risk broken bones and road rash on bicycles. If they're on two wheels, they're fat guys on Harleys with gray ponytails, no helmets and plenty of attitude.
Tain't so. For proof, get on your bike any summer morning, head for 26th Street, cross U.S. Highway 24 going south and start climbing.
For road bikers, the five-mile ascent up 26th to Gold Camp Road and thence to the end of the pavement is cycling's equivalent of the Manitou Incline. It's accessible, reasonably strenuous and a great workout for west-siders.
Training this summer for the Copper Triangle — an 80-mile ride through the mountains that begins and ends at Copper Mountain — I've tackled Gold Camp with my riding buddy Amanda Luciano almost every weekday morning. We see the same Gold Camp junkies every day, exchanging friendly waves with familiar strangers.
We've given them nicknames. There's Fast Blonde Girl, Fast Brunette Girl, Backpack Racerman and others of the carbon fiber elite, superbly fit people who whiz past us as if we were standing still. Then there's Geezeman, Gray-Haired Girl and other people of a certain age who love to ride — and they're still fast.
We see mountain bikers as well. Gold Camp is an access point for multiple trails (Captain Jack's comes to mind) that can challenge almost any rider. Our city's mountain biking culture may not be as celebrated as Durango's, but it's been around for decades.
Back in 1991, local schoolteacher Mike Merrifield wrote Colorado Gonzo Rides, a guide to 30 suitably hair-raising, single-track rides around the state. Since then, Merrifield has served four terms in the Colorado House and currently is running for the state Senate. He's still riding — we see him frequently on Gold Camp. And he's still doing big rides. A recent Facebook post noted that he and a friend had done a 50-miler with 7,500 feet of altitude gain.
"Not bad for a couple of old guys," Merrifield wrote. At 66, Mike may be the poster child for aging cyclists.
The folks who participated in the cycling boom of the '70s and '80s are now in their 60s, and other aging jocks are taking up the sport. Your knees may not let you run 10Ks or climb 14ers anymore, but cycling is easy on the knees, great for building fitness and accessible to everyone who ever rode a bike as a kid.
As the cycling community ages, the city may need to rethink its cycling infrastructure. Older cyclists don't see as well, hear as well, or react as quickly as their younger counterparts. Bike routes that are easily negotiable for young riders present problems for seniors. But we're coming, like it or not.
Consider Betsy Price, the 64-year-old mayor of Fort Worth, Texas. An ardent cyclist, Price launched the "Tour de Fort Worth" a couple of years ago both to promote healthy living and interact with her constituents. The tour consists of a dozen rides during July, during which (according to The New York Times) her fellow cyclists have trouble keeping up with Mayor Price's "ambitious pace."
And like some of her 60-plus peers in Colorado Springs, Mayor Betsy is a tough cookie. After taking a tumble on a patch of gravel a couple of years ago, Price shrugged off her injuries.
"I took a spill on the bike this morning," she posted on Facebook shortly afterward, "but I'm OK aside from some scrapes, a concussion and a broken collarbone."
Broken bones, concussions, road rash ... they're not gonna slow us down! But it'd be nice if the city would sweep the gravel off Gold Camp Road occasionally.

The Burlington Royals — and others — will honor longtime Appalachian League president Lee Landers tonight at Burlington Athletic Stadium.
Landers is retiring at season's end, capping a 23-season stint in charge of the rookie-level league.
The occasion — with the game against the Pulaski Yankees — is one of several Landers bobblehead giveaway nights around the league this summer.
Among the guests will be International League president Randy Mobley, who'll attend an Appalachian League game for the first time.
Mobley said he had never meet Landers until Landers became a league president. While their leagues are far apart on the minor-league ladder — Mobley oversees a Class AAA circuit — he has gained an appreciation of Landers.
"I was thrilled to receive the invitation," Mobley said. "There is so much right about him and how he conducts his business."
Mobley, who worked in a visit to Durham (one of the teams in his league) on the trip, said Landers has been supportive of him through the years.
A pregame ceremony, with former team broadcaster Matt Krause the emcee, will begin at about 6 p.m., Burlington general manager Mikie Morrison said. The team will present a gift to Landers.
• EX-BURLINGTON PLAYERS EXCEL: Two members of the Idaho Falls Chukars who played last year for Burlington, have collected recent awards.
The Player of the Month for July in the Pioneer League was first baseman Reed Rolhman, who batted .426 in the month while registering hitting streaks of eight and nine games. He drove in 37 runs and scored 29 runs in 25 games.
Rohlman racked up 49 RBI in his first 42 games for Idaho Falls after posting 29 RBI in 58 games last season for Burlington.
J.C. Cloney was named the Pitcher of the Week in the Pioneer League by going 2-0 with a 0.71 earned run average covering 12 2/3 innings. He struck out 13 and walked four during that stretch.
Cloney holds a 9-0 record in nine starts for Idaho Falls. He won't have a chance to reach the 10-win mark because he was promoted to Class A Lexington of the South Atlantic League this week.
• RUSSELL'S RETURN: Infielder Michael Russell is back with the Durham Bulls after a couple of weeks with Class AA Montgomery.
After a solid June, Russell had three hits in seven July games with Durham. The former college player for North Carolina provided four hits across six games upon his return to the Bulls.
• RILEY HITS ANYWHERE: Brandon Riley was a hit in a Class AA ballpark, too.
Riley, an outfielder, went 3-for-4 with a home run and scored four runs when the Johnson City Cardinals defeated the Greeneville Reds 18-10 last Saturday in an Appalachian League game played at a Southern League venue.
The teams met at Smokies Stadium in Sevierville, Tenn., for one game. It was a pre-arranged situation because the Johnson City team owner Randy Boyd also owns the Class AA Tennessee Smokies, though the game was actually a Greeneville home game.
Riley, a Williams High School alum, is a first-year pro out of North Carolina.
• SEE YA: Jordan Qsar, who had been one of the Appalachian League's top hitters with the Princeton Rays, was told after Sunday's doubleheader in Burlington that he was going to the New York-Penn League's Hudson Valley Renegades.
Qsar, a first-season pro out of Pepperdine, was third in the Appalachian League in both batting (.350) and home runs (10).
• A BOLT OF OFFENSE: Outfielder Skye Bolt of the Midland RockHounds in the Class AA Texas League was the circuit's Player of the Week after batting .379 with three home runs and 12 runs batted in across seven games. The former North Carolina college player is in his fourth pro season. In his first 48 games with Midland, he drove in 16 runs.

DevOps (a portmanteau of development and operations) is a software development method that stresses communication, collaboration and integration between software developers and information technology (IT) professionals. DevOps is a response to the interdependence of software development and IT operations. It aims to help an organization rapidly produce software products and services. Companies with very frequent releases may require a DevOps awareness or orientation. Flickr developed DevOps capability to support a business requirement of ten deployments per day.
And seems like devops users created a funny tumblr (picture wall) where they share emotions connected with computer science 🙂

|London's 1951 Festival of Britain
One of London's most respected cultural hubs, the Southbank Centre, is this summer playing host to a series of events celebrating the 60th anniversary of the Festival of Britain, originally held in the same location in 1951. The four-month festival highlighting British culture and creativity is already underway; here are WGSN-homebuildlife's pick of the must-see (and must-do) events taking place.
|Zaha Hadid, photographed by Jason Schmidt
As part of the The London Literature Festival, running 30 June - 14 July, a number of artists, writers and thinkers have been invited to speak, with Zaha Hadid's talk on 2 July set to be a highlight.
|Tracey Emin at the Hayward Gallery
The festival also sees Tracey Emin receive her first major retrospective at the Southbank's Hayward Gallery, on until 29 August. Showcasing every part of the London artist's oeuvre, this exhibition acknowledges the expanse of Emin's creative channels, from early textile and photographic works to her new outdoor sculptures created especially for the Hayward.
|Vintage Weekend
And finally, all things vintage will take over the Southbank for Vintage Weekend (29-31 July), organised by Vintage at Goodwood director Wayne Hemingway. All six levels of the interior, and the entire outdoor space, of the Royal Festival Hall transformed into vintage markets and playgrounds, and a Vintage Revue taking place in the auditorium each night.

Epik High is epic!
Tablo is badass!
HIGHGRND is going to be double the awesome?!
I've been seeing a lot of news about Tablo's new label recently and I am SUPER EXCITED for some amazing music from this label!
First, let's check out more photos of the HIGHGRND studio that Tablo shared on Instagram.
Don't you want to visit this place? It looks so cool! Loving the style, lighting and art!
According to Soompi, Tablo created HIGHGRND to be able to introduce talented and individualistic artists. The label became active once Oh Hyuk officially joined.
Here's a preview video of Oh Hyuk from when he joined HIGHGRND a few weeks ago.
Seems like even YG supports Tablos's new label!
"I can't interfere with [Tablo's work] and I don't have the time to do so anyway. Since I helped him get started, I have to trust in him 100% and support everything he chooses to do. The free and unique characteristics of the artists are the biggest strengths of independent labels. The respect for this is why HIGHGRND was created." (Quote from Soompi)
I, for one, am super excited for Tablo's new venture. How about you?

Norman Foster has welcomed the government's 'very encouraging' announcement it will investigate ways to expand airport capacity
Delivering his Autumn Statement to the House of Commons today (29 November), chancellor George Osborne said the government would 'explore all the options for maintaining the UK's aviation hub status, with the exception of a third runway at Heathrow'.
Earlier this month, Foster and Partners with Halcrow revealed self-funded plans for a new airport on the Isle of Grain which could feature four runways, cost £50 billion and operate 24 hours a day.
In a statement Foster said he welcomed the government's decision to consider airport capacity as part of the National Infrastructure Plan and described the economic case for a Thames Hub as 'compelling'
Foster said: 'The Thames Hub and proposed new airport project is part of a wider UK-wide initiative to bring together rail, freight logistics, aviation, energy generation and transmission, flood protection and regional development. Recognising the synergies between these different strands, it reaps the benefits of their integration.
'This is an opportunity to reassert Britain's role as a global hub and an international gateway. The Chancellor's Autumn Statement today is very encouraging and a step closer to achieving this goal.'
Halcrow director, David Kerr, added: 'Over the last few weeks we have met a large number of public and private sector stakeholders, across a range of infrastructure sectors, and have received widespread support and enthusiasm for the Thames Hub proposals.
'Initial discussions with investors have shown that there is interest in supporting the project through its planning, design, construction, and operation and maintenance phases. With an appropriate political and planning framework, this is a project that can be delivered.'
Alternative options exists in a so-called 'Boris Island' scheme for land nearby and Terry Farrell's proposed rail hub linking existing airports in West London.
Watch a video of Norman Foster talking about the future of UK's infrastructure here.
'Imagine how differently we might understand the modern world if we could travel back in time. We would discover that the cathedrals, the castles and the viaducts that form our 'heritage' were once new themselves and were seen as quite alien at the time; and that many of the landscapes we revere as 'natural' were in fact shaped subtly by man — some the outcome of the Industrial Revolution itself. We would also find that many of the challenges we face now have been met before.
'Given the need to upgrade Britain's infrastructure for the 21st century, and in the absence of a time machine, we have to try to recapture the foresight and political courage of our 19th century forebears and to revive our traditions of architecture, engineering and landscape design. We have to draw lessons from our heritage, as well as inspiration from our Asian counterparts.'

Having used my new wheels for a few days, I've decided they aren't quite "tippy" enough, making it hard to do wheelies - back-wheel balancing is an essential wheelchair skill which increases independence and enables the user to climb small kerbs and negotiate over objects. I rang the Exeter Disability Centre this morning to check that someone would be in the workshop, and my hubby very kindly drove me over there again this afternoon.
After a bit of trial and error to get it right, they have adjusted the centre of gravity backwards a bit, so that the chair now feels a lot more nippy and manoeuvrable without being unstable.
Also today, the gentleman from the company who supply the power assist system phoned. Unfortunately he is not going to be down in our area in the foreseeable future, and after some discussion, my hubby spoke to him, and arranged to go up to Hemel Hempstead to take the new wheelchair, and the brackets off the old one, so that they can transfer the system over.
It's a day's work, so my hubby probably won't hang around to wait, as it's a 3 or 4 hour drive from here; they will send it by courier when it's done. It was a question of weighing up the cost - if my hubby stayed overnight in a bed and breakfast, and also added his petrol, not to mention the time he'd be giving up, it might end up more expensive than getting them to send the chair back by courier. I am very reluctant to send it up from here by courier because it requires specialist packing in a good strong box, which I am unable to do.
Anyway, my hubby has arranged to go up on Monday, all being well - it has to be confirmed with the engineer to make sure he has a slot to do the work. Hopefully it won't take more than a couple of days before I get it back again.
When my old one went up to be fitted with the system originally, there was a mix-up with the courier on the way back, and I was without it for about 10 days, which was simply awful because I was reliant on an Iron Maiden hired from the Red Cross - it was like sitting in a steel box - terrifically heavy and unmanoeuvreable, quite impossible to do a wheelie in, so I felt as if I was nailed to the floor, and with absolutely no adjustments on it at all, so after sitting in it for an hour, I was in pain! How the NHS thought they could get away with prescribing this sort of wheelchair for so many years is beyond me! At least they now have a much better range to choose from, and also a voucher scheme to enable you to buy the wheelchair of your choice to the same value as the one that would have been prescribed, and to add to the voucher from your own pocket if the one you want is more expensive. (This is what I have done.)
The mix-up with the courier meant that instead of the nice air conditioning unit that the Dartmouth Health Club was expecting, they got my wheelchair instead!!! I'd have been just as miffed as they probably were, if I'd got the air conditioning unit instead of my wheelchair... At least I got a refund on the courier fee.
So it's all happening! I should be well and truly kitted out by Christmas. Watch this space.

Standing Light Punch is a pretty fast jab which can beat some normals. It is pretty much exactly as fast as Ryu's Light Punch, is easy to chain into itself, and can be cancelled into a Special Move or his Super.
Standing Medium Punch is another good poke for Evil Ryu as it can be cancelled into a Special Move or his Super either from up close or from far away. It has good range as well.
Diagonal Jump Medium Punch, like Ryu's, can be a multi-hit and put your opponent into a juggle state and you can combo out of it.
Neutral Jump Medium Punch is pretty good if someone is under you. You can jump up, hit him with this move, and combo into a Hurricane Kick or a Shoryuken.
Crouching Heavy Punch is mostly useful as an anti-air. Like Ryu's, practice the timing as it does have some startup but it is quite effective. It can also be used at point blank as it can be cancelled into a Special Move or his Super, but for the most part you'll want to reserve this for an anti-air.
Standing Light Kick is pretty much the same as Ryu's. It isn't especially noteworthy.
Diagonal Jump Light Kick is pretty good because it can be a pretty ambiguous cross-up move. However, it is very difficult to combo out of. It's decent to use to go for a tick-throw or something.
Standing Medium Kick can be cancelled into a Special Move from close range but not from afar. It is better to use Crouching Medium Kick at any range other than very close. Standing Medium Kick is slightly faster at very close range but at farther range it is inferior in every way and, as mentioned, cannot be cancelled into anything.
Crouching Medium Kick is one of his best pokes, just like Ryu. You should be using this one often from almost every range! It has good range and is cancellable into both Special Moves or his Super. Like Ryu, Crouching Medium Kick 2-in-1 into Fireball works great at pretty much any range. It is already said that it has good range, but Evil Ryu's seems to actually move him forward a bit in some circumstances, which is extremely useful if you want to stay in your opponent's face to maintain pressure. Learn everything about this move!
Diagonal Jump Medium Kick is his primary cross-up move. It is very easy to start a combo with this as a starter, so learn how to use this move effectively and some nice bread-and-butter combos as a follow-up damage.
Standing Heavy Kick is pretty much like Ryu's. At far range it can act as a reasonably effective anti-air depending on your opponent's angle of attack and what attack he is using. At close range it does multiple-hits (an axe-kick) and does more damage than at medium or long range.
Crouching Heavy Kick is a sweep which results in a hard knockdown. It looks a lot like Akuma's and like Akuma's it has good range and speed, but you cannot combo into it after a Hurricane Kick like Akuma can.
Diagonal Jump Heavy Kick is another good jump-in attack as it does good damage and is pretty easy to combo out of.
Zugai Hasatsu
Evil Ryu brings down an overhead chop attack which, as you may have guessed, is an overhead! So, if your opponent is playing very defensively in a crouching position (likely if your opponent plays a charge character) this move can help you crack their defense.

Working in the army presumed to meet the term PCS prtty often.PCS means Permanent Change of Station.

May 15, 2018 - Four months after the UK government announced it was phasing out coal, campaigners are digging in to stop what they say will be the devastation of opencast mining at a beauty spot in the north-east of England.
Local people and environmentalists have 16 working days left to stop the first spade going into the ground on 71 hectares of grassland, fields and woods in the Pont valley, County Durham.
Under planning permission, the mining company Banks Group has to start work by 3 June or their licence to start mining the site will expire. Campaigners say the "hit-and-run" nature of opencast mining, and the UK government's commitment to phasing out coal, makes any new mine an anachronism.
Protesters are planning a series of public demonstrations in the days leading up to the deadline.
Liam Carr, who lives in the area, said: "Coal-mining is our heritage not our future. My granddad was a coal miner. We have been through all this before, we know the damage it does to the environment, and coal is the fuel of past not the future."
The site in the Pont valley off the A692 between the villages of Leadgate and Dipton, is not far from Druridge Bay in Northumberland, where the same company's attempts to extract 3m tonnes of coal, sandstone and fireclay, was rejected by the then communities secretary Sajid Javid in March because of its potential environmental damage and the "very substantial" impact on climate change.
More than 86,000 people have signed a petition calling on Javid to revoke permission for the Pont valley mine.
Javid's successor, James Brokenshire, is now examining representations to repeal the planning permission for the Pont valley mining. A spokesperson for the Department of Communities and Local Government said: "We will make a decision in due course."
Banks Group plans to extract around 500,000 tonnes of coal in two to three years from the site and says 30 new jobs will be created.
They say after mining is completed, restoration will involve a new nature reserve and parkland.
Lewis Stokes, community relations manger for Banks, said: "The simple fact remains that, while the UK transitions to a low-carbon economy, we still need coal.
"Government projections state that coal will continue to be an important part of the UK's energy mix until at least 2025, while the low sulphur, high-quality coal contained within the Bradley site is vital for industrial processes such as the manufacturing of cement and steel."
He condemned what he called the "illegal activity" of those protesting at the site.
"We do not believe their viewpoint reflects that of the wider local community," he said.
Campaigners say they are driven to protect the habitats already established on the site which support red kites, great crested newts, badgers, bats and barn owls, according to evidence given to the public inquiries. It is their presence that has spurred protesters on for 40 years - ever since the then National Coalboard submitted the first application to opencast mine the area.
Three public inquiries later, those camped out in the Pont valley believe that as the country moves to a low-carbon economy, there is even less reason now to opencast mine than ever before.
June Davison, who lives in Dipton, said: "My community has been fighting the threat of opencast coal extraction for over 30 years. In that time we've won three public inquiries and three inspectors have agreed that protecting the Pont valley is important.
"The government have revised their energy policy and plan to phase out coal-fired power stations by 2025. Now, in 2018, it makes no sense to subject such a beautiful area to the detrimental effects of opencasting."

Melbourne beauty product company Aesop enlisted its in-house design team in designing a special customized shop in Hong Kong that uses sinks made from copper and oak wood and blackened steel shelving.
The stores interior takes on the use of pale oak wood to nurture a sense of calmness and tranquility with blackened steel and oxidized copper to contrast the neutral tones with an industrial element. There is also a treatment room fitted with drawers and a wooden sink, where customers are allowed to consult the staff of Aesop for beauty tips or a demonstration.
The shelving system is made from beams of oak against blackened steel frames to display the brand's iconic brown bottles made from glass, while brass taps hang over large copper sinks for customer's to wash off the products.

SAN JACINTO � Apple Valley Christian ran into a huge roadblock on its path to a CIF-Southern Section Division VI baseball title.
The Warriors lost to San Jacinto 23-5 on Friday in the quarterfinals. San Jacinto's enrollment is 2,300, while Apple Valley Christian has 111 students.
"I'm really proud of the players for getting where they did," Warriors coach Skip Ely said. "They really stuck together and had an outstanding season. It was an honor to coach them."
San Jacinto scored 13 runs in the first inning, helped by six Apple Valley Christian errors, and never looked back. The Warriors made 11 errors in the game.
Tobbey Shoop and Bryce Ely each had two hits and an RBI, and Steven Messner added a hit and an RBI for the Warriors (19-3), who won their first league title in 18 years this season.
Messner wasn't able to start on the mound after throwing two complete games in the last seven days. The lefty allowed one run on one hit with 30 strikeouts in those two games. He wrapped up his prep career with two innings of relief on Friday.
"We look forward to next year," Skip Ely said. "We're losing four seniors. They're valuable without a doubt, but hopefully the younger players will be able to step up because of the experience they gained this year."

WHY GIVE to Girls STEM Institute?
- Only two percent of scientist and engineers are Black women (www.nsf.gov/statistics/wmpd/ )?
- Women held just a quarter of the over 5 million tech jobs last year, but the percentage of women of color – particularly Black and Hispanic workers – in the industry stands at single digits. Within a decade, America will be short 1 million STEM professionals (http://www.tinyurl.com/hq3txks).
- African American girls only represent 5% of AP math and science students but 8% of those enrolled in basic mathematics and science classes (https://goo.gl/KfiZYb ).
- Educational professionals steer African American girls away from rigorous math and science courses in high schools (https://goo.gl/KfiZYb ).
Girls STEM Institute strives to change these statistics by providing young ladies of color an opportunity to engage with rigorous and relevant mathematics and other STEM concepts in an environment that will not only support their academic development but their emotional and social development. Our goal is to increase the flow of underrepresented groups to upper-level mathematics courses as well as other STEM-related degrees and careers.

I hope all my crippled comrades had a lovely "Oh right, today's Thursday" day. Crippie's day was certainly interesting to say the least. I spent most of my day taking care of the piggies. I gave Mama Pig a quick once over and she seems to have fully recovered. Mama Pig is going to be 5 soon, and thus she'll be a "senior pig". I'm going to do everything in my power to keep her here for as long as humanly possible, but I'll do a post on senior piggies another day.
Keeping your piggies healthy is a challenge. Apart from the whole "you need an exotic vet" thing, it can be very hard to tell when your pig is sick. Why? Because they hide it like nobody's business. Piggies are animals of prey, so their instinct is to hide whatever ails them so that predators won't see them and think "LUNCHTIME"! Vigilance is key with piggies. You have to know them, what their normals are, how guinea pigs are supposed to be. If your pig is acting "weird" chances are something is wrong. If something is slightly wrong with your pigs appearance, something is wrong. If anything is out of the ordinary... something is probably wrong.
Why am I going on like this? Welllllllllllllll... earlier today all of my pigs were happy. They were in watermelon induced food comas and everything seemed fine. Tonight they got their salads... Aggie starts wheeking and everyone else follows. They all eat their salads without issues. About two hours later I take Aggie out for cuddles. She seems perfectly fine... at first. As soon as looked at her face I knew something was wrong. Her eye was cloudy. The first thing I did was checked her eye in different lights, and it was definitely cloudy. Then I gave Aggie a once over, and I check her for signs of pain. I opened and closed her eyes without any issue. She didn't seem to be in pain, but she could've been hiding it (and probably was). Next I took a really good look at her eyes. Aggie's eyes are black and their eyes are normally clear and bright. Her eye was without a doubt cloudy and the parts of her eye that were supposed to be white were red.
At this point I know what the problem is... Aggie got hay stuck in her eye. Upon closer inspection I found the piece of hay and removed it. It wasn't an easy thing to do, but I put her on her back, I let her fight me for a minute, once she realized that she couldn't win she let me remove the hay. I used a tissue and my fingernails to carefully extract the inch long piece of hay from her eye. I then cleaned her eye, gave her some pain medication, and most importantly some watermelon because Aggie likes to eat her feelings.
Hay pokes are a somewhat common problem for piggies. They eat hay all day, every day. Aggie love her hay and dives into it as soon as I bring it to her. Frankly, I'm surprised she's managed this long without getting a hay poke.
Well, now that she's been poked, here's what were are going to do... Aggie NEEDS to go to the vet ASAP. The vet will prescribe either drops or an ointment for her. We'll treat her, and she'll be better in a week or two. It is essential that you take your pig to the vet for this issue. If not your pig will develop a nasty eye infection, go blind in that eye, or possibly lose the eye.
We are going to call the vet first thing in the morning, in the meantime Aggie is stoned off her chubby little ass. She is quite content with the world and thinks everything is pretty. Here are a few pictures so that other piggie owners will know what an eye injury looks like (the photos aren't graphic or anything)
|Her good eye. Black, clear, and bright. (Also slightly glassy from being stoned)
|The bad eye. Grey, cloudy, weird texture on eye, slightly closed
|Close up, you can see the general area effected
Crippie's Tippie - Stay informed about general pig illnesses, I knew this was a hay poke and I began treating her immediately. For more information about piggies and eye issues go to http://www.guinealynx.info/eyes.html

New Delhi, May 12 (PTI) NITI Aayog today pitched for restricting the registration of diesel and petrol vehicles saying that the adoption of electric and shared vehicles could save USD 60 billion in fuel cost by 2030. A report prepared by NITI Aayog and Rocky Mountain Institute has suggested that the government should limit the registration of conventional vehicles through public lotteries and complement this measure by giving preference to electric vehicles (EVs) as is being done in China. It also suggested that government should consider more tax incentives to promote EVs so that they can be made available to people at reduced cost. It said EVs should also be provided free parking. The report estimates that India can conservatively save up to 64 per cent of anticipated passenger mobility-related energy demand and 37 per cent of carbon emission by 2030. "By 2030, this would result in an annual diesel and petrol reduction of 156 million tonnes of oil equivalent," said the report, India Leaps Ahead: Transformative Mobility Solution. "At current oil prices, this would imply a net usual fuel cost saving of approximately 3.9 lakh crore by 2030," the report added. Releasing the report, NITI Aayog CEO Amitabh Kant said whether ones likes it or not EVs will happen in India and this is inevitable. "The challenge is how we do it quickly. How do we do it to scale and size," he said. Noting that the cost of battery is falling by about half every five years, he said that as a result in the next 4-5 years, the electric vehicles even with batteries would not be far more expensive than the petrol or diesel vehicle, while operational cost will be just 20 per cent of that of petrol vehicle. Stressing that the government is fully committed to driving this electric vehicles programme, Kant said EVs will come into India in a big way in about a decades time. "But challenge is if we delay it then we will end up importing batteries instead of oil and it will be difficult for us to take leadership," he cautioned. "So we should drive our own EVs programme, which will enable us to manufacture EVs," Kant added. He also pointed out that building up volumes quickly will enable India EVs programme to succeed.
"And therefore aggregation of demand on a large scale is important. Its important that government drives it by focusing on government vehicles and public vehicles," Kant said. Recently, Mahindra & Mahindra (M&M) Managing Director Pawan Goenka had said that India does not have the same kind of subsidies many other countries offer on buying electric vehicles. "India has about 2,000 dollars (subsidy). There are countries which have 10,000 dollars, therefore we cannot have a very high-end vehicle because nobody will buy it and it does not even serve the purpose. What if 200 people bought it? It wont help much in curbing pollution," he had said. In his foreword to the 140-page report, NITI Aayog vice- chairman Arvind Panagariya said there is need to adopt new and fundamentally different pathways to provide clean, cost- effective and efficient mobility services that are safe, create new jobs and reduce dependence on oil imports.

General News of Thursday, 18 May 2017
Source: Classfmonline.com
The Ghana Union of Professional Students (GUPS) and students of the Ghana School of Survey and Mapping (GSSM) have expressed confidence in President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo to reverse the decision by Lands and Natural Resources Minister John Peter Amewu to have the School of Surveying and Mapping closed down indefinitely.
Mr Amewu's order followed a demonstration by students against a suspected sale of the school's lands by the Lands Commission. But several efforts by the students to have the school reopened have proved unsuccessful.
Although Mr Amewu hinted the school would be re-opened after investigations into circumstances that led to the destruction of properties belonging to the Lands Commission and a contractor working on the school's land are completed, GUPS and the GSSM students have said they have lost confidence in the Minister.
GUPS President Bismark Gyamfi, speaking to Class News, said the union would petition the president and was optimistic Mr Akufo-Addo would heed its call and reverse the decision since most of the students have been left frustrated.
"The actions coming from the office of the Minister of Land and Natural Resources is clearly stating that he is not ready to call back the students to the classrooms, so of course this has become a very depressing issue," he said.
"Students are very frustrated, they are very confused, they don't know what the future holds for them, especially the foreign students from Nigeria and Togo. They are all loitering around and don't know where to go and it's like no one is talking about it. So we as the union, under which the school falls, we cannot keep quiet on this and we are very hopeful that the president, who is noted to be a man of rule of law, is quickly going to do something about this whole issue. We are very optimistic that the president will do something about it."

Will another former Georgia star player join the Saints?
By MIKE DETILLIER
Special to The Courier
The start of NFL free agency is just hours away and New Orleans Saints fans are anxiously waiting, as usual, to see what direction the team will turn in an attempt to rebuild this team.
I really don't look for the Saints to be major players in the free-agent market, but I do see the Saints making an attempt to upgrade their linebacker corps and to add a quality starter on the offensive line.
One player to keep a close eye on is Carolina Panthers outside linebacker Will Witherspoon.
If the Saints invest some major dollars in a player, I really believe that player will be Witherspoon.
It's no secret that more than one high ranking member of the Saints front office really covets the services of Witherspoon, and the word around NFL circles is New Orleans will make a hard, early run to secure them.
Witherspoon, 25, was the Panthers' leading tackler in 2004 with 110 tackles, and last season he registered 80 tackles, 2½ tackles for loss and two pass interceptions.
Many NFL scouts felt Witherspoon played well enough to be voted to the Pro Bowl, but with a tight salary cap, the Panthers just were unable to come to terms on a contract with the very productive weak-side linebacker.
While the Carolina would love to keep Witherspoon, it does have options after using its first-round choice in the 2005 draft on Witherspoon's replacement at the University of Georgia, linebacker Thomas Davis.
A prominent sports agent with some knowledge of Witherspoon's contract status said he thinks Witherspoon will sign with the Saints or the Jacksonville Jaguars.
"Will would be a good addition to the Saints," the agent said. "When you look at the pool of linebackers available, Witherspoon and (San Francisco 49ers versatile linebacker) Julian Peterson would certainly be the best outside linebackers available. And with some question marks about a future CBA still in limbo, this will be Will's chance to really cash in big time. I can tell you that Witherspoon is a good businessman and he will weigh all his options, but I really think it will boil down to either New Orleans or Jacksonville.
"The Saints have an obvious need for a quality outside linebacker who is still young, and they should know all about his strengths and weaknesses having to play Witherspoon twice a year since the Panthers drafted him in the third round of the 2002 draft," the agent added. "But I wouldn't count out the Jaguars. Remember that Jack Del Rio was the defensive coordinator of the Panthers back in 2002, and he had a great working relationship with all those players, especially the linebackers. Will likes and respects Jack quite a bit, and I know Del Rio has not hidden his desire to try and acquire Will."
While Witherspoon has not put up great numbers in the NFL, the one thing that really sticks out for me is that he is not a linebacker you have to replace in certain down-and-distance situations.
Witherspoon plays the run very well, but he is also a good cover man in obvious third-down situations. When you have to pay more than top dollar for a player, you want one who is young, a solid citizen, has come from a winning background and can do more than one good thing out on the field.
As far as I'm concerned, Witherspoon would be a good fit, and he comes with all four important traits you want in a high-profile signee. But to be honest, the Saints will have to beat out some heavy competition for his services.
If the Saints land Witherspoon, he would join three other former Bulldogs standouts on New Orleans' roster: defensive end Charles Grant, defensive tackle Johnathan Sullivan and offensive lineman Jon Stinchcomb.
While the Jaguars have a coaching connection with Witherspoon in Del Rio, the Saints have one, too.
The Saints' new defensive coordinator, Gary Gibbs, was the defensive coordinator at Georgia when Witherspoon was a starting linebacker as a junior in 2000.
1. Shaun Alexander, running back, Seattle Seahawks. I just have a hunch he will resign with the Seahawks.
2. Edgerrin James, running back, Indianapolis Colts. The Colts would love to bring him back somehow, but without an extension to the league's CBA and more cap money for next season, it seems hard to believe he will return. The Jaguars, Miami Dolphins, Atlanta Falcons and Denver Broncos seem to be good fits for James.
3. LeCharles Bentley, center, Saints. Early speculation had the Cincinnati Bengals and the Cleveland Browns as the front-runners for Bentley, but it almost seems a certainty now he will land with the Philadelphia Eagles.
4. Drew Brees, quarterback, San Diego Chargers. The Dolphins will have to be creative with their numbers, but Miami looks to be Brees' next destination -- if he is cleared medically.
5. Charles Woodson, cornerback, Oakland Raiders. Woodson was once considered the best cover-corner in the NFL, but his play and attitude have declined over the past two seasons. While he's still a (begin italics) good (end italics) football player, he will find out quickly that he is not considered an (begin italics) elite (end italics) player anymore.
6. Terrell Owens, wide receiver, Philadelphia Eagles. The market will not be there for the talented, but temperamental star. The Broncos, Dolphins and Dallas Cowboys will be interested.
7. Antwaan Randle El, wide receiver, Pittsburgh Steelers. He is a versatile athlete, who makes an impact as a receiver, runner and special-teams ace. The Chicago Bears, Cowboys, Minnesota Vikings and New York Giants might be the top teams on his list.
8. Jamal Lewis, running back, Baltimore Ravens. He is still a top-flight runner, but he seemed to be sluggish in 2005. Lewis is still a real strong inside runner with some breakaway speed and he might be right for either the Vikings or the Green Bay Packers.
9. Julian Peterson, outside linebacker, 49ers. While he was not the dominant player in 2005 that he had been in the past, he is still quite an athlete. He might be a great fit for the Browns or Bengals.
10. Will Witherspoon, outside linebacker, Panthers. He is a fine all-around athlete, who has good football instincts and excellent athletic gifts. The Saints, Jaguars and St. Louis Rams will vie for his services.
11. Maake Kemoeatu, defensive tackle, Baltimore Ravens. Who? Well, most NFL fans will be shocked to see how many teams are interested in this big guy in the middle. Kemoeatu is not a pass rusher, but few teams run up the middle on the Ravens because of him.
12. La'Roi Glover, defensive tackle, Cowboys.
His big salary-cap number and Bill Parcells' change in defensive philosophy led to his release. Believe me, this guy can still play at a high level.
Bé-Bé'S KIDS
Ole Miss coach and Larose native Ed "Bé-Bé" Orgeron landed a top 15 recruiting class and is still adding to those impressive numbers.
Orgeron, looking to add another big offensive lineman to the 2006 class, recently landed Scotlandville High School offensive guard Daverin Geralds.
Geralds, a 6-foot-4, 290 pounds, was also considering Duke and Georgia Tech in the recruiting process.
Orgeron also has a huge jump on the 2007 recruiting class. The former South Lafourche star lineman has already received verbal commitments from 12 juniors this spring.
Orgeron, who will be entering his second season at Ole Miss in the fall after being the defensive line coach/recruiting coordinator at Southern California, has landed three players from Louisiana.
Ole Miss has received verbal commitments from Dion Gales, a 6-6, 27-5pound defensive end out of John F. Kennedy High in New Orleans, John Ehret High's 6-1, 295-pound defensive tackle Drake Nevis, and former L.B. Landry and current French Settlement High School star offensive tackle Alex Williams.
Williams, 6-6, 290, was being recruited by LSU, Florida, Florida State and Mississippi State, before committing to the Rebels.
The NFL draft is less than two months away and there seems to be some firm footing on the ratings of the top players for the 2006 annual college draft. Here are my top 28 players available for the April draft:
1. Reggie Bush, running back, USC
2. Matt Leinart, quarterback, USC
3. Vince Young, quarterback, Texas
4. D'Brickashaw Ferguson, offensive tackle, Virginia
5. Mario Williams, defensive end, North Carolina State
6. Jay Cutler, quarterback, Vanderbilt
7. A.J. Hawk, outside linebacker, Ohio State
8. Michael Huff, cornerback/safety, Texas
9. Haloti Ngata, defensive tackle, Oregon
10. Vernon Davis, tight end, Maryland
11. DeAngelo Williams, running back, Memphis
12. LenDale White, running back, USC
13. Winston Justice, offensive tackle, USC
14. Chad Greenway, outside linebacker, Iowa
15. Brodrick Bunkley, defensive tackle, Florida State
16. Tamba Hali, defensive end, Penn State
17. Tye Hill, cornerback, Clemson
18. Jimmy Williams, cornerback/safety, Virginia Tech
19. Gabe Watson, defensive tackle, Michigan
20. Santonio Holmes, wide receiver, Ohio State
21. Ernie Sims, outside linebacker, Florida State
22. Laurence Maroney, running back, Minnesota
23. Kamerion Wimbley, defensive end, Florida State
24. Marcus McNeil, offensive tackle, Auburn
25. Chad Jackson, wide receiver Florida
26. Darnell Bing, safety, USC
27. Nick Mangold, offensive center, Ohio State
28. Sinorice Moss, wide receiver, Miami.

Good post. Witherspoon would definetely be an upgrade and would mean we could target a corner in the second round. We also should look to sign a DT like Maake Kemoeatu of Baltimore. Our defense would instantly be better against the run which has plagued us the past few years.

Some of Mike's top 28 are very suspect, Bunkley will be an early 2nd at best. No way Hill goes before Williams, where did Watson come from? Wimbley is good but I don't think before mid 2nd round.
Just one mans opinion. Good read and Tigger.

The son of a slain Sikh temple president plans to challenge U.S. Rep. Paul Ryan in next year's congressional election, in a Wisconsin district where support for the 2012 Republican vice presidential nominee has been strong but slipping.
Amar Kaleka, 35, told The Associated Press he'll file paperwork Wednesday to form an exploratory congressional committee. He plans to formally announce his candidacy as a Democrat next month.
