. you have to go to our website later on tonight to find out. >>> all right. thank you so much. apple shares in today's session higher today. outperforming the broader markets and the stock is staging a turn around since hitting fresh multiyear lows. since then, it is up more than 6%. what is behind this move? on the cnbc news line, a senior equity research analyst. great to you have us with. you know what is interesting is that what took apple shares down in part were the reports coming out of the nikkei serving suppliers saying they're not getting the orders in. today we have taiwan's economic daily saying just about the opposite. where do you stand on what the supply chain is telling us? >> that's exactly what we were waiting for essentially when the whole thing was pessimistic. they were taking negative data points from the supply chain. we're looking at it now and apple is put in the iphone 7, we're seeing positive news come out of supply chain. this is the first time we've seen positive data points come out of supply chain. and that is where the apple struggle is reacting to. >>

At Google I/O 2014, gaming was a key component. Google noted that "Google Play games" is now the fastest growing mobile game network of all time. The Verge also noted during their live coverage of Google I/O that Google introduced a new game profile and ways to save games in the cloud which segues to one of Google's latest patent applications. Today, the US Patent & Trademark Office published a patent about a future universal Smart Gamepad or controller that works with Google's cloud services. Google's patent application focuses in on a wide overview of the system behind the gamepad.
Patently Mobile covered a very important Samsung patent application this past June in a report titled "Samsung Reveals New Circular Interface Smartwatch with Rotating Ring Controller, 3 Gesture Levels, new Charger & More." That was a technical patent filing that covered a lot of ground about future smartwatch development. It was a meaty patent filing that you could sink your teeth into. Yesterday, the US Patent and Trademark Office published four new smartwatch related design patents. Two of the designs support a fully round smartwatch interface. Another design supports a different flavor of round that appears more modern and integrated into the band. And lastly, the fourth design patent presents a rounded-rectangular interface. Samsung is clearly open to altering their Gear interface design should Google's Android Wear watch design prove to be more popular. And I think that Samsung also wanted to make sure that they had at least one more design with "rounded corners" just in case their design is ever challenged by those in Cupertino.
This week the US Patent & Trademark Office published a patent application from Microsoft that reveals that they're thinking of introducing an Xbox-like gaming controller that could be split in two so that each half can be clipped onto future Surface tablets and Windows phones.
Acer has seen booming sales of Chromebooks, including government procurement orders for educational purposes in many countries, and therefore has asked supply chains to increase production to reduce supply shortages, according to company CEO Jason Chen, adding that global Chromebook shipments in 2014 are expected to increase 70% on year. Some are reporting that Acer's Chromebook sales are booming even though they only account for 10% of Acer's notebook sales. Yet, it's a new segment and it's doing very well.
Today the US Patent and Trademark Office granted LG a design patent for a mobile phone. Yet the twist to it is that the design is for a smartwatch. So obviously LG has something new up their sleeve relating to a future hybrid wearable device. With a very large interface, it appears that it's going to promote video conferencing.
Earlier this month the US Patent & Trademark Office published a patent application from Samsung that reveals their desire and intent to bring motion controls or more specifically hand-waving or gesturing to future Samsung Smart TVs sometime in the future.
Earlier this month the US Patent & Trademark Office published a patent application from Samsung that revealed an invention relating to a new wearable video headset device which could be used to take live video captured through a "see-what-I-see" camera view. The wearable headset provides two cameras fitting over the user's right and left ears and provides an easy to use microphone to assist the user in narrating the video that they're capturing. For those who already wear glasses, Samsung's latest idea could provide a superior video taking solution over Google's Google Glass.
Last week the US Patent & Trademark Office published a patent application from Google revealing new aspects of their smart contact lens invention. We began covering Google's breakthrough technology back in March of this year in a report titled "Google takes their Glass Vision to Smart Contact Lenses" which covered the foundation of the technology. In this report we cover one of Google's latest patent applications titled "In-Situ Tear Sample Collection and Testing using a contact Lens." The timing of Google's latest patent application relating to smart contact lenses that integrate glucose testing couldn't have been any better. In under a week of its publication by the US Patent and Trademark Office, Google broke the news that the Novartis eye care unit Alcon had struck a deal to license their smart lens technology.

markets, the deal with Novartis puts Google in a phenomenal position for first strike success. Whether you cheer for Google or not, the fact is that their latest invention has the potential of assisting hundreds of millions of diabetics around the world. It could forever mean the end of using lancets on a daily basis to capture one's glucose levels. And the thing is – a glucose reader is only the beginning. The off-shoot dimensions of Google's smart contact lens technology are many, with the benefits being just as unique. As always, Patently Mobile will continue to cover Google's latest patent applications regarding this technology as it becomes available.
In January we reported that Kwon Oh-hyeon, vice-chairman and CEO, Samsung Electronics, stated during an analyst meeting that they "would lead innovation by introducing the 'foldable' display in 2015." On Tuesday, Samsung was granted a major design patent regarding a multiple-display, foldable smartphone. This particular design allows one of the displays to house the Samsung pen which could indicate that this is a future Galaxy Note-type of smartphone or phablet.
Earlier this month the US Patent & Trademark Office published a patent application from Google that reveals that there's yet another Google Glass variant on the drawing board. This time it's a binocular design instead of its traditional monocular style in order to provide users with a superior heads up display (HUD) where augmented reality can be projected into the user's view without blocking their vision of the outside world. It'll be like a jet fighter's HUD where you can see important data in your line of sight without having to look away to find your data on a smart device like a phone or watch. For instance, during a run, the user's vitals could be projected onto the Google Glass lenses without blocking the users view ahead. And let's not kid ourselves Google is about advertising and though Google doesn't allow for advertising on Glass today, it's likely to open that door in the coming year. On Sunday Bloomberg posted a report titled "Advertisers Target Wearable Gadgets as Next Frontier," and this form of Google glass will likely be better suited for advertising. Lastly, Google was granted two design patents relating to Glass last week and our report presents you with a few of their patent figures.
Mark Twain once said that truth is stranger than fiction. Well, last week the US Patent & Trademark Office published a patent application from Microsoft that confirms that very saying. Today Fitbit is duking it out with Samsung's Gear and there's great anticipation regarding Apple's possible entry into the wearables market this fall with a health-related device using advanced biosensors. While Microsoft is considering a smartwatch as well, it now appears that they may want to take a completely different course that's quite eccentric. They've invented a mood changing/health device in the form of a robotic butterfly. What's the use of having a stress gauging app on your smartwatch or smartphone if you have no way of doing anything about it, right? So in Microsoft's great wisdom, they think that a robotic butterfly device fluttering all about you changing colors will be able to change your mood for the better in no time flat. It sure sounds freaky and if they ever decided to add Cortana's voice to the butterfly's feature set I think that it would create quite the buzz. Then again, that would likely require launching a robotic bee and that could very well be next.
If you're interested in the direction Google is going, how search & other projects are progressing, as well as other bigger ideas, you might enjoy this video. Vinod Khosla, one of the founders of Sun Microsystems, interviews Google founders Page and Brin for about forty minutes. If you're big fans of Google's co-founders you'll really enjoy it but it's certainly not for everyone.
Microsoft is on the war path. Court documents reveal that Microsoft has filed two more cases against software pirates in the US. One of the cases is against National Technology Rentals, Inc. (NTR) and Lawrence Gazdick individually. Microsoft alleges that the defendants have infringed their copyrights and trademarks, violated the Lanham Act by falsely designating the origin of software, and engaged in unfair competition.

Home Rangers One shame leads to another after Rangers incident
One shame leads to another after Rangers incident
As discussed yesterday by Ibrox Noise's Kirsty, Cameron Mack, the Eejit of Easter Road, has been sentenced to 100 or 150 days in jail, depending on who you read.
The 22-year old was the moron who ran onto the Edinburgh turf that night to confront James Tavernier in a significant event which could have spelled serious danger for the Rangers captain.
Said moron now claims to have been completely intoxicated that night and remembers nothing of the incident, with his defence lawyer further adding allegations of he and his family receiving death threats and other forms of further violence.
He has claimed police have advised him to take his wife and family and leave their home for good.
It's difficult to know where to start with this mess. First of all the whole sordid episode is an indictment of the state of Scottish society at present – the mental illness which permeates Scottish behaviour these days could not be more highlighted by his actions and the alleged response.
His actions, in short, were beyond ridiculous – just like the attack on Jack Grealish (we're sure he too was intoxicated and has now received death threats as well) in England, a complete bampot ran onto the pitch, and no one can condone how serious that is.
Furthermore, married at 22 with two young kids, in his case, doesn't even sound plausible given we can barely fathom a responsible father and husband being intoxicated before going to the football.
However, the death threats are as unacceptable as his original conduct, and by being a complete idiot all he did was stir the hive of the worst elements of the society. Perhaps, those elements include himself – his wife is a better judge of that than we are.
But either way another moron has 'made a name for himself' and has now paid for it big time. But how worryingly easy he got next to Tavernier given the fact he could easily have been carrying is a deep concern to the security measures in place at top-flight football matches.
But then if the Birmingham derby can't stop these idiots either, what hope does the SPL have?

From what I'm hearing, l was at the hearts hibs game Saturday… Long story, wasn't supporting any team, but it's his own fans that have turned on the clown, nothing to do with us and in house cleansing may take what it needs to eradicate it so be it
Alan Calder April 9, 2019 At 4:41 pm
Good article. However I would add that lawyers will say anything to aid their clients. The truth is not a factor on trying to get client an easier ride. A lawyer will concoct a story, tell the client to talk to no one, then claim that the client told him. That is part of the sad state of society. Just look at the criminals walking free following the Rangers debacle. Or indeed ask yourself as to what happened to Leveson inquiry.
And we believe the lawyer?
EMcC April 9, 2019 At 5:01 pm
The security arrangements at football grounds is poor. I cant remember the last time I was searched going into a ground. The standard of stewarding is also patchy at best. I have said previously that there is not a chance that I would want to be self policing our fans as ultimately it would be me that ended up in hospital.

is everywhere, people don't think as individuals anymore everyone is part of a group or "mob" and thats when the mob mentality comes in. I've mentioned it before im sure but the SNP and their socialist movement has split the country into bitter "identities", (one or the other, no individuals) the reason I believe bigotry and hatred is rising again. And then they persecute football fans to stamp it out. You cant write it!!!

I first went to Ibrox in 1957. In last 10 years I have often taken my young grandchildren to games. Behaviour is much better than in my young days. OK I am in main stand but kids have always been welcomed and treated well. As for SNP. They are what you want them to be. Fifty years ago they were Tartan Tories . 30 years ago left wing communists. They say whatever it takes to get elected. Only one constant policy. Independence.

I'm 66 now and I don't think football related problem are any worse than when I was young , I remember these young rangers supporters getting attacked by Celtic fans while they were trying to cross Hope Street or both me and my dad showered in broken glass as rangers fans on one side of the street throwing bottles ,while Celtic fans on the other side of the street throwing bottles back

Socialism was part of the very fabric of Scottish, and particularly Glasgow's society for a very long time before the SNP became a real political force, and far from splitting the country it tries to heal the sectarian rift that has plagued us. I'm no supporter of the SNP but you can't blame then for Scotland's bigotry and hatred.
Anyway, I think this is a good, balanced article. I was at the 1980 cup final when a mounted police charge was needed to stop thousands of Old Firm fans from killing each other. We have to put these things into perspective. Not that I'm condoning the behaviour of the idiot that confronted Tav, and hopefully the legal and social consequences he's suffering will make others think before repeating his stupidity but you make a very good point that death threats to him and his family are totally unacceptable.
You can't stop moronic behaviour by behaving like a moron.
I totally agree with Bohemoth. I am on the verge of giving up going to Ibrox. Going with my mates when I was a young man was fine but taking a 9 year old is now making me really question myself. There is so much hatred.
My 17 year old grandson first came with me as a seven year old and burst into tears at the noise when Nacho Novo scored a wonder goal. The fans were great to him. He has never forgotten. The problem in Scotland is of course sectarianism. It will never disappear as long as we segregate kids at 5 years old. But we should seek to rise above it. Not give in to it.
The SPFL and SFA have persistently ignored the rise 9f bampottery on the terraces in recent years. They let both Motherwell and Hibs off Scot free when their fans invaded the pitches at Fir Park and Hampden and that seems to have given the morons the green light to do what ever they like. Add to that clubs bending over backwards to facilitate "ultra" groups because they "Add to the atmosphere" then we are where we find ourselves, over run with eejits.
This guy's sentence is actually pretty harsh given that it has been reported that he had no previous convictions. It sends out a message though. If people don't listen to that message then I hope they too receive harsh punishment.
Strict liability is on it's way if the fans don't buck up their ideas.

This Problem is Not Going to Go Away
The SPFL need to work with Security/The Clubs and the Police to Stamp it out
Ban these Idiots? …Jail Them?
Have Everyone Searched Before Entry?
Points Deduction?

Glavna uprava za vanjsku sigurnost (fra.: Direction générale de la Sécurité extérieure, DGSE) je vanjska obavještajna služba Francuske Republike zadužena za djelovanje u inozemstvu. DGSE djeluje unutar francuskog Ministarstva obrane. Glavna uprava za vanjsku sigurnost prikuplja obavještajne podatke u svrhu zaštite nacionalne sigurnosti, uključujući obavljanje paravojnih i protuobavještajnih operacija u inozemstvu. Kao i kod većine drugih obavještajnih službi, detalji njezina djelovanja i organizacije nisu dostupni javnosti.
Značajan dio posla DGSE-a je gospodarska špijunaža. Sjedište DGSE-a je u Parizu.
DGSE je dio francuske obavještajne zajednice zajedno sa sigurnosnom službom DGSI, vojnom sigurnosnom službom DRSD i vojnom obavještajnom službom DRM.
Povijest
Glavna uprava za vanjsku sigurnost ima svoje korijene u Glavnoj upravi za posebnu službu (Direction générale des services spéciaux, DGSS) koja je osnovan 27. studenog 1943. godine od strane francuskog političara Jacques Soustellea. Naziv je promijenjen 26. listopada 1944. u Glavna uprava za proučavanje i istraživanje (Direction générale des études et recherches, DGER). Počeci su bili obilježeni nepotizmom i zloupotrebama te je Soustelle smijenjen s mjesta ravnatelja.
Bivši borac Slobodne Francuske Andre Dewavrin zvani pukovnik Passy je 1945. godine bio zadužen za reformu DGER-a. Dewavrin je otpustio više od 8300 obavještajnih agenata od 10 000 koje je zaposlio Soustelle, a služba je 28. prosinca 1945. preimenovana u Služba za vanjsku dokumentaciju i protušpijunažu (Service de documentation extérieure et de contre-espionnage, SDECE).
SDECE je u sebi objedinio razne francuske obavještajne službe od kojih je najpoznatiji Drugi ured (Deuxième Bureau) najstarija francuska obavještajna služba osnovana 1871. godine za potrebe Glavnog stožera Francuske vojske nakon stvaranja Francuske Treće Republike. Za vrijeme Drugog svjetskog rata od srpnja 1940. do 27. studenog 1943. godine, djelovala je ratna obavještajna služba poznata Središnji ured za obavještajno djelovanje (Bureau central de renseignements et d'action, BCRA), s André Dewavrinom na čelu.
Ustroj

The Plausibility of Pistorius
by unwrapping • February 23, 2013
I am fascinated by the whole Oscar Pistorius tragedy. Not because he is famous, not because he is an athlete and not because he has prosthetic legs. But because he has shot and killed another human (Reeva Steenkamp), confessed openly to this, whilst at the same time constructing almost the perfect excuse/alibi.
The tragedy of course is not that he himself faces the emotional trauma, guilt and loss of accidentally killing the woman he loved and intended to marry * / a life in jail as a convicted hot-* /cold *-blooded murderer * (delete as applicable). The real tragedy is that a 29 year old woman has had her life taken violently from her, and from her family and friends. They will grieve and miss her for the rest of their own lives. Nothing good can possibly come from any of this.
What do I mean by the perfect alibi? If Pistorius did murder Steenkamp (and please lets use surnames rather than first names – this is not a story from Hello magazine), then the genius of the alibi is that there isn't one. He has admitted to shooting her, whilst thinking he was shooting a burglar (who, incidentally, if he had existed, did not deserve to be shot either). Immediately almost all of the forensic evidence becomes irrelevant Was the murder weapon his? Verdict – Guilty. Did he fire the murder weapon? Verdict – Guilty. In firing it four times did he intend to kill? Verdict – Guilty Did he mean to kill Steenkamp? Verdict – Not Guilty (or so he says).
Or so he says. There is only one big question to answer. Who did he really think was behind the locked door of the toilet? Reeva Steenkamp or a burglar? And this in turn becomes entirely a set of questions about plausibility.
1. Can a man get out of bed, and retrieve a gun from next to the same bed, without realising the bed is empty? Apparently it was pitch dark. Was it? Were there no lights on? Didn't Steenkamp put any lights on when she allegedly went to the toilet? Verdict – Possible but implausible.
2. Would a woman in a stable and loving relationship with a man, and nobody else in the house, lock the door when she went to the toilet? Maybe – out of habit or to guarantee privacy. But he was allegedly asleep in bed. Verdict – Possible but implausible.
5. Confronted with a noise in your house is not the first thing you would do to check on the person(s) you love in the bed next to you? Make sure they were safe, alert them to the danger, get them to call the police whilst you go off shooting with your gun? Verdict – Possible but implausible.
4. Would a man confronted with a person making a noise in the bathroom immediately decide without any doubt that this was a burglar? How did Pistorius think he got into his very secure house? Why would a burglar be in the bathroom of all places? Verdict – Possible but implausible.
5. Would a man confronted with a person making a noise in their bathroom, just shoot first? Would you not stop and listen at least for a few seconds? If they were making ablution noises would you not at least question whether it was your partner? Would you not wait, ready to confront them when they emerged? Would you not ask who they were? I spoke to a South African friend of mine about this. She said in that country you would shoot first and ask questions later. Nevertheless. Verdict – Possible but implausible.
6. After the first shot, did she not scream or make a noise which would have identified her as female, at least, if not indisputably Steenkamp? This depends on the speed of the shots. But unless the first bullet was the one to the head, the other bullets which hit her limbs would have surely made her yell in pain. Was she silent? Verdict – Possible but implausible.
Having taken most of the forensic evidence off the table, the judgement requires getting inside the mind of a man in bed with his partner, apparently confronted with a noise in his house. A house which is very secure.
Herein lies the problem. However implausible the story, the onus is on the prosecution to prove him guilty. Can they prove | 0.281685 | 0.171612 | -0.013574 | 0.165572 | [

"A women earning helps the entire family because the women invest their earnings in family. Then the family's betterment brings good impact on the entire community because of money circulation at different levels or circles."
Prokritee (meaning "nature" in Bangla) is an agency that is dedicated to empowering disadvantaged women who have little or no other opportunities. Most of the women employed by Prokritee are the heads of their households because they have been widowed, divorced, or separated, they have little or no income, are landless with few or no assets, and are primarily rural. Prokritee is a service-based agency that provides artisan organizations with management, product design and development, and marketing assistance. By providing jobs and skills for the women they are able to improve the women's standard of living and help them send their children to school. The women are paid a fair wage, offered training on quality awareness, health, savings, and gender equality, and are provided with a medical allowance and assistance, maternity leave, incomes bonuses, and loan options.
Artisan Minoti Mondal
A cheerful woman who enjoys her work, Minoti has been working for Bagdha, one of Prokritee's artisan groups, for twenty years now. Before Minoti was twenty years old she married a poor farmer. Life was a struggle and after having two sons and two daughters, her husband's income was just not enough. She started looking for work and found a handicraft project that was hiring poor and widowed women. She now works primarily with wood, carving wooden toys. The income she has earned has helped her family immensely. Her four children have been able to finish secondary school, and her 23 year old son has gone on to become a businessman. She is happy she was able to help her children further their education, and hopes to work for Bagdha for as long as she can.
Artisan Usha Rani
Today Usha is a very skilled weaver for Hajiganj Handicrafts, one of Prokritee's artisan groups, but it wasn't always that way. When Hajigani was first started, Usha and the other women hired didn't know anything about weaving and had to be trained. The training lasted a couple of months, and by the end the women were able to weave baskets of all different shapes and sizes. Because Usha is highly skilled, she has been promoted to supervisor. She supervises the other producers to makes sure they are weaving quality baskets, and creates samples for customers.
Hope through soap-making – that is the promise of redemption offered up by the fair trade organization Sacred Mark Enterprise to the women who leave behind their lives in the sex trade. In 1970, a Mennonite missionary group founded Prokritee after a typhoon killed over 300,00 people and destroyed a large part of Bangladesh.

I don't usually like movies with multiple stories, but this one is just very well blended.
The acting is great, esp Miho Kanno. She's very convincing. The scenery is beautiful, the cinematography gives off surrealism style for me (thanks to its doll elements). The use of doll elements is great. If you (like me) think Japanese dolls is eery, you will find the use of it here is eery as well, and that's one of what makes this movie special.
This movie seems to contain alot of traditional Japanese culture symbolization, I wish I understand it more. This movie is not a movie to be watched over and over again. I guess you won't want to rewatch it, but it will stay in your memory for a long time.
A note for future watcher: this is a very very slow drama, without much dialogues. Not recommended if you can't stand this type of movie.
As Ranma 1/2 manga fan, I had fun seeing my favorite characters brought to live in this TV movie, but apart from that, there is nothing special from this show. The special effect was tooo fake and the story wasn't special either. Acting wise, Kaku Kento lack male Ranma's charm, but Natsune did a pretty decent job portraying female Ranma. Nishiyama Maki perhaps the best actress/actor in this show. Good job in portraying Nabiki.
This show is a mixture of (I write this in order) romance, comedy, and patriotism spirit. The promotional posters might mislead people about the overall feel it'll give you. It isn't that serious (don't expect serious show with full packed action here), but it isn't that light either. For me, the combination was just perfect.
Perhaps its only drawback for me is the slapstick comedy they used here and there, and some cliche story elements.
And I think it's important to note this is my first drama of Kang Ji Hwan. I loved him for his role here, but his later roles felt so so after I watched this. I guess he is kinda trapped to Wan alike roles..
Knowing the *cough cough* cheesy plot this drama had (sorry), I watched this without much expectation, but I ended up to be actually quite fond of this.
Get hang for the first two episodes. Many people like this drama from the very beginning. I was not one of them (I did like the opening scene though. The short background of Mu Cheng's childhood life was so beautifully done. Unfortunately, the later scenes fails to keep me impressed).
For me, after watching the first 3 episodes, I started to get addicted. There's something in this drama which I can't describe clearly. Maybe because of the beautiful scenes, maybe because of Guang Xi's mighty charm, or the uber touching lines, or Xiao Le's cuteness, or the beautiful background musics, I dont know, I'm not sure. Something I know for sure is I like how the scenes are cleverly connected to each other when you dont expected it, and how the two second lead characters which arent bitchy.
Scriptwriting: 6.8/10 » The interesting side is, even with those lame plots, the story will keep you digging for more. What happen "now" is related to the next story. There are many beautiful scenes and touching lines which will warm your heart for sure. But they dragged it too much in the middle part. The first 6 episodes was great but the latter was not. Anyway, the story was split to 2 parts with episodes 6-7 acted as divider episodes. I prefer the earlier part. The later was just dragged too much.
Acting: 8/10 » Ady An and Van Ness Wu did a very good job here. About the little boy Xiao Xiao Bin's, well, he wasn't bad, but sometimes we still can clearly see he is not that natural in acting. Dont get me wrong, I love him too! I know, he is cute. I admit for his age, it was really wonderful acting skill. The rest of the cast are excellent. I'm not too fond with the villagers acting, forced acting, but I think it was okay regarding they're just minor supporting roles.
Soundtrack: 10/10 » The soundtrack was simply perfect. All of the songs beautifully captured the emotions of the scenes. Well done.

ably good. I just hope they shorten it though. Not recommended if you can't stand slow-paced series. Highly recommended if you like romance stories mixed with family theme.
Cheesy premise + weak story/character development + too many unimportant scenes + too many plot holes + average actings = disaster! The only likeable thing from this drama is the character Kwi-dong, and he is the only reason I finished this. I regret wasting my 30+ hours to watch this..
First of all, this movie contains A LOT of cursing, provocative/improper lines, violent scenes (not that violent, but still violent), & satanic symbols. Definitely not recommended for kids, and for those who doesn't comfortable with those things. I found myself couldn't enjoy this to the fullest because of the quite huge amount of those factors (esp the cursing). But that's apart, it's actually a good movie. In short, this movie was a mixture of a bunch of crazy comedy, full music (both death metal & sweet easy listening), minor romance as background plot, and a bit drama.
What makes this movie standout was its crazy comedy (the comedy was not as much as I expected, but when it came, most of the time, I laughed out aloud literally) and most of all, Matsuyama's acting. He was very convincing as both the goofy, sweet, pure yet nerd-looking (and somewhat kinda girly!) Negishi and as the tough plus scary death metal band's vocalist, Krauser (Negishi's stage name). Awesome! Before I watch this, I couldn't imagine him potraying a comical role, but he did it here brilliantly.
Story: 9 - As you'd expected from manga-based movies, the story was very refreshing and original. But there were some missing link at character development part. Ok, Negishi was trapped into a death metal band, but how he could act *that* well and natural as a tough & such a violent speaker like a real death metal band vocalist (while he's still the pure & innocent Negishi at back stage) was a mystery (they did show the reason at the middle part of the movie, but Krauser has been a very violent speaker from the start). In addition, I think Negishi's band partners should got more screentime since they're such interesting characters. But again, it can't be help, since this show is a movie, and was all about Negishi. It would need a series to properly deal with other characters.
Acting: 9 - With his semi-double roles, Matsuyama was without doubt, the star of the show. Perhaps 75%-85% of the movie relayed on his acting, and he used it to showed his skill to the fullest. Excellent.
The rest of the cast did a good job. I don't fancy the manager's acting, but I do like the actress & actor of Aikawa (the girl) and Wada (the enthusiast Negishi's band partner). They did their part nicely. I also feel the need to credit a couple of notable minor supporting roles as well (some of Krauser's die hard fans). They were simply funny!
Directing & editing: 7.5 - Like what I've said before, there were some missing link in the story. You'd still get the whole idea, but it could be better.
Rewatch value: 6.8 - I probably will rewatch this to watch the hilarious scenes.
----- Conclusion: if you're fine with movies with cursing (almost) all of the time, quite violent scenes (visually & verbally), and some satanic symbol, and if you're in the mood for something crazy & funny (but not that flat, it was actually quite emotional at times), this is for you.
This movie perhaps isn't the best movie around, but it's a good drama which will draw your smile with warm feeling for sure.
In short, it was about the struggle, the joy, the regret, the so-called sacrifice, the little "reward", the hectic, all things you'll find from a working single dad's story. It's sweet, touching, quite detailed, and simply heart-warming. Go see for the trailer to catch up the overall feel it will give you.
Story: 3.5/5 » The story was good, but it could be better. I like the story | -0.185161 | -1.140919 | -1.045824 | -1.317209 | [

KOREA'S automotive industry has come of age, and no other car illustrates this so poignantly as the properly world-class i30 N.
This is the first proper attempt by Hyundai at a bona-fide hot hatch, and the first model to go on sale wearing the brand's newly-minted 'N' performance badge.
Hyundai claims the i30 N is the real deal – a hot hatch that doesn't just keep up with the Joneses, but blasts ahead of them. We need to validate that, naturally. At $39,990, it's also one of the most affordable hot hatches on the market, but its spec sheet is full of numbers that compete with cars that are priced 10 grand above. Is the i30 N really the performance bargain that it makes out to be?
SPOILER alert: The i30 N is bloody good. Shockingly good, when you consider that this is Hyundai's first proper tilt at making a bona-fide hot hatch.
Beginner's luck? Hardly. More so, the i30 N is the result of a holistic approach to crafting a performance car, rather than just turning up the wick on an existing grocery-getter's mechanicals. Sure, it's i30 sheetmetal that you're looking at, but there's so much that's been changed underneath the skin that the i30 N may as well belong to a different genus altogether.
How different is the N's DNA from a garden-variety i30 SR? Let's start with that engine. Displacing 2.0 litres, direct-injected and huffing boost from a twin-scroll turbocharger, the i30 N's engine is the highest-output member of Hyundai's venerable Theta family of inline-four engines.
The numbers are impressive: 202kW of peak power occurring at 6000rpm, and a fat torque plateau of 353Nm between 1450-4700rpm. Mash the accelerator to the firewall, however, and an overboost function pushes the torque max to a sizable 378Nm between 1750-4200rpm. Stout.
It's matched with a proper mechanical limited-slip differential too, with its locking function electronically controlled. Vital when you're channelling such hefty outputs to the front wheels exclusively, and infinitely preferable to brake-based 'virtual LSD' solutions used in rivals like the Golf GTI.
The front suspension is still a conventional Mac strut design, but uses N-specific geometry to banish fun-sucking nasties like big scrub radiuses (which contribute to torque steer) while also bringing the roll centre closer to the car's centre of gravity. Don't know what those last two are? Don't worry – it just means there's less body roll for the suspension to contain.
The points of difference continue, with extra structural reinforcements, rack-mounted electric power steering, bigger brake hardware and an ultra-tight gearshift gate, but here's the net effect of all that – the i30 N isn't just easy to drive fast, it's a joy to do so.
It's a sedate and docile experience if you keep everything in please-don't-pull-me-over mode, but where's the fun in that? Thumb the chequered flag button that hangs under the steering wheel's right spoke and the i30 N's most manic settings are loaded up. The throttle map is tighter, overboost is unlocked, the exhaust becomes more raucous, the suspension stiffens and steering effort increases.
The gear shift action has slickness that's second only to the Civic Type R, and is augmented by rev-matching tech that eliminates the need to heel-toe when braking hard. With the exhaust valves opened all the way the four-pot's crackle-happy soundtrack offers up aural comparisons to Hyundai's WRC cars too, thus cranking up the racecar vibes.
And straight line performance is exceptional. Responsive with just a little low-rpm lag, the turbo | 1.109868 | 0.513622 | -0.172724 | 0.062818 | [

2.0 hauls hard and sounds fantastic on its way up to its 6700rpm rev cut. Gearchanges in Sport and Sport+ modes are punctuated by thunderclaps as residual fuel ignites in the exhaust tract, and the thrust is seemingly relentless despite a reasonably porky 1429kg kerb weight.
It's a demon on mountain roads too. Grip is simply massive on the Hyundai-specific Pirelli P-Zero rubber, and the i30 N's handling is tuned to deliver high-speed stability rather than lift-off oversteer antics. Given its ability to rapidly stack on speed, that's a good thing.
But the above isn't a coded way of saying the N is a little bit dull and inert compared to tail-happy rivals like the Focus ST or Megane RS. Rather, its limit of adhesion is so high that it's difficult to unsettle. The threshold for understeer, for example, is hard to breach unless you seriously misjudge your braking points, while the brakes can be leaned on heavily without any evidence of fade.
The real eye-widening stuff comes after you've turned in. That smart differential up front works wonders, allowing power-out techniques more akin to an AWD car than a front-driver. Get on the power earlier than you ordinarily would and let the differential sort out the traction – which it does so with admirably little fuss – and the i30 N slingshots itself out. Tight radiuses show up some torque steer, but it's miniscule considering just how much twist is being sent to the street.
The i30 N's suspension tune is unique to Australia. Hyundai's local operation was given special dispensation to take some of the tautness out of the i30 N's damper settings, and the result is a car that's appreciably compliant when in Sport mode (though obviously firm and crashy over bigger bumps), and surprisingly civilised in Normal mode. There's little of the teeth-chattering stiffness that was present when we first fanged the i30 N in Europe.
What's more, compromises are hard to find. Hyundai Australia admits the local tune has slightly more body roll than the global tune, but it's still barely perceptible behind the wheel. Meanwhile, body control remains excellent. The specialised bits Hyundai's N division - overseen by former BMW M maestro Albert Biermann - has thrown at the i30 N are truly transformational.
Yet it's still liveable. The i30 N does the Jekyll/Hyde thing rather well. Beyond the special instrumentation, chunky gearknob, thick-rimmed steering wheel (verging on too thick) and body-gripping front sports seats, the i30 N's cabin is understated and purposeful – not needlessly flashy. Drop the rear seatbacks, however, and the i30 N's big exposed bar work that links its rear suspension towers gives you a reminder of its serious side. Need to bring home some flatpack furniture? Undo four bolts and that brace comes out to restore some versatility.
Objectively and subjectively the i30 N is a winner. Financially too, given its ultra-keen $39,990 retail sticker that makes it just $1000 more than the Ford Focus ST, while offering a level of performance that competes with a $50,990 Honda Civic Type R.
A Golf GTI weighs less but costs more and can't touch the Hyundai's power, while the Focus ST is comparable on most metrics but struggles to lay its power down. Everything else that's in the same performance ballpark, like the 308 GTi, Civic Type R and Mini John Cooper Works, are priced well above the i30 N. To call it a performance bargain is a heinous understatement.
Oh, and did we mention that the i30 N carries the same five-year, unlimited-kilometre warranty as every other Hyundai – and that the company will still honour it even if you take it to the occasional track day? For a performance car, that's an incredible declaration of confidence.

I recently had the opportunity to talk with North Carolina bicycle accident lawyer Ann Groninger. Ann had recently written a well-received article about being buzzed on a morning ride. Or I should say, it was well-received by cyclists, all of whom have had similar experiences on the road. But some motorists had a different reaction, expressing their disdain for "scofflaw cyclists" (despite the fact that Ann had been riding lawfully, and was nearly hit by a "scofflaw driver"), or worse, expressing a thinly-veiled intent to assault cyclists with their vehicles. Before writing about her own brush with near-disaster, Ann had written another excellent article asking "Are bicycle crashes accidents?" Ann had also written aboutpersonalizing the consequences of bicycle crashes—in this case, the impact that a negligent driver had on the cyclist she hit, and on his widow.
It was clear from Ann's articles that she wants drivers to understand that, in her words, "these stories personalize the consequences of taking unnecessary risks when driving"… "what I want to talk about is the value of human life and how people can take it so lightly…by riding my bike on the road, especially alone, I am putting my life in the hands of people who don't care about it and are willing to take pretty big risks with it." For Ann, these stories "should be a daily wake-up call" for anyone with a conscience.
So when I talked with Ann, I thought our conversation would go in that direction. But when I asked her to talk with me about a bicycling issue she was interested in, she surprised me with her answer: "kids." Here's what she had to say.
Bob: Ann, you've been a North Carolina bicycle accident lawyer for some time now. Can you tell me a little bit about that? When—and why—did you start representing cyclists?
Ann: Bob, the short answer to why I represent cyclists is that it allows me to combine my work and my passion! More than 10 years ago I met Peter Wilborn, who had already founded and established South Carolina Bike Law. By then I'd spent several years trying cases in the criminal court system, had left the Cumberland County Public Defender's office and started my own practice and was doing more and more personal injury work. Peter and I hit it off and the combination of personal injury and trial experience and my love of cycling made representing cyclists a perfect fit, and North Carolina Bike Law was formed. Of course it's now simplyBike Law.
Bob: I'm glad you mentioned your love of cycling. One of the things that distinguishes attorneys in the Bike Law network is that we are all cyclists. How long have you been cycling? And how did you get involved in cycling?
Ann: I've loved bicycles my entire life. When I was a kid we would spend our whole day riding around the neighborhood. I always wanted to go further and further and loved the independence the bike gave me. My passion for riding continued into adulthood, first as a mountain biker, and then road riding. I also still use a bike for transportation almost daily.
Bob: In one of your articles, you wrote "I am a mother and I have a little boy who needs me." And when I first approached you about sitting down and talking about your bicycle advocacy interests, you said you wanted to talk about kids. Can you talk with me a little bit about that?
Ann: Riding a bike was such an important part of my childhood, and I think most peoples' childhoods. For many reasons – safety, more indoor options, more organized activities – I think it's tougher for kids these days to just get out and ride. A lot of them will miss that unique feeling of freedom a bike gives you, which is sad.
Also, young kids today are tomorrow's drivers. If we can teach our kids respect for the road while riding their bikes they will hopefully carry that respect over to driving a car.
Finally, the more people who ride, the safer cycling is for everyone. That is now a well-recognized concept. I love riding with my son and drivers are usually very respectful when I'm riding with him. But there are still many drivers who aren't paying attention or looking for us because many times we're the only ones traveling by bike. If more families got out and rode beyond their neighborhoods it would be more | 1.000294 | 0.236969 | 1.21143 | -0.365839 | [

common and car drivers would know to look out for bicycles.
Bob: You touched on an important point when you said that kids are tomorrow's drivers. I think one reason to help get kids involved in cycling is because they are our future drivers, and it helps them to develop an understanding that cyclists are people just like them. It's also a great way to help them understand their rights and responsibilities on the road.
Ann: I totally agree. As I said, that understanding may have prevented a couple of crashes I'm handling right now. I also think it would breed a great tolerance, as you mentioned.
The thing is, most kids love riding a bike. It's a rite of passage to be able to ride and go places. I want to know, how do we make that available to more kids and then how do we keep that love alive?
Bob: Do you have any specific cases that you want to talk about that relate to your interest in kids?
Ann: I have not handled a case where I child was hit by a car. That does happen of course, but thankfully it is relatively rare. I guess I look at it as more of a big picture, as I mentioned above. If you teach kids respect for the road early on and they have an understanding of what it's like to ride a bike, the roads will be safer for everyone.
I do have a case right now where a teenage driver hit a cyclist in a bike lane. And recently spoke to another cyclist who was hit by a teenage driver in training. Both of these kids had to have seen the cyclist before they hit them. I think a better understanding on the driver's part of what the cyclist is doing could have prevented these crashes.
Also, in a lot of my cases, kids are affected because their parents are injured. So I have one client who was hit and injured pretty badly on an early morning ride a few months before his first child was born. Imagine having a new baby and not being able to physically interact the way that you want because you can't use one of your arms?
Bob: And that really brings us back to a point you've made in some of your articles—that these crashes that you and I deal with aren't just hypothetical stories around which we can take sides in polarizing debates, but they involve real people dealing with the real consequences of being injured through another person's carelessness. And as you point out, some of the people dealing with the consequences of that carelessness are children.
Ann: That's right. It's like anything in life. If we really think through the consequences of what we do we tend to act differently. As part of my job, I often have to talk to a driver who caused a serious crash and really hurt or killed someone. Even if the driver is convinced it wasn't his or her fault, the consequences of what happens stays with him forever. That's because now there's a real human connection. Let's make that connection before and prevent these injuries and deaths in the first place.
Bob: That's such an important point you make. Imagine how much different our roads would feel if every driver felt that human connection. And maybe that's part of the possibility of hope we both see in the next generation—that today's kids are tomorrow's drivers. Which brings us back to an interesting question you raised: "How do we make [riding a bike] available to more kids and then how do we keep that love alive?" There are a number of kids bicycling programs in Charlotte. Can you tell me about them?
Ann: Thanks to some passionate bicycle advocates, Charlotte has some pretty cool programs.
One of them is Trips for Kids. It's actually a national and international program. The Charlotte affiliate is very strong. They have a store calledThe Re-Cyclery where people donate used bikes and parts that are fixed up and sold to raise money to provide bikes for kids. They use bikes to mentor kids and teach them how to live a healthy lifestyle and other important character lessons.
Then of course the Safe Kids Coalition of Charlotte-Mecklenburg puts on bike rodeos to teach kids bicycling safety. Other organizations, shops and groups of individuals have put on events to teach kids to ride classes. Lots of charity rides have a shorter, family friendly route, races like the NoDa Grand Prix and all of the cyclocross races have a kids event.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Chug replied to Wheeljack35's topic in Transformers
One picture. One single, solitary, promotional image for marketing purposes only. That's all it is. Nothing more, nothing less. It actually tells us nothing about the show's story other than the tired "good versus evil". Is it really that easy to jump to conclusions, people?
Transformers Shorts: On The Prowl

Youtube + Transformers + Stop Motion = YES. On the frontpage of Youtube was this short. Wonderful stop motion animation involving Alternators. Enjoy.
Anyone got news on Tom-1?

Let's just say that....Tom's doing ok and is a little busy at the moment.
BotCon '07 Games of Deception Set Preview: Dirge
Chug replied to Bespin refugee's topic in Transformers
So pretty. There's no way that I'll be able to afford the set, but meh, no sense in me complaining about it, seeing as how the reasons why this is the Club exclusive and not in stores have already been stated addendum over and over. Nice job FP!

In other news, Gamestop, EB, and other assorted game shops have been doing this very action since, oh, at least February.
Shooting at VA Tech
Chug replied to JayC's topic in Action Figures
Ok, rumors via the Virginia State Police as of 3:30 today (a local friend of mine [an RU grad student] was talking to one today and was given information through them, who then passed down said info to me): -The shooter was an Asian student from Radford University (my alma mater, and is also just 30 minutes MAX down the road from Virginia Tech). -The shooter's girlfriend was a Virginia Tech, and as he had found out recently, had been cheating on him. As such, he went to her dorm (the first spot hit). Given the nature of both schools....that can happen easily. -He shot her and then went off to find the guy who she cheated on him with, who was presumably at class. Here's where it gets speculative: in between the first shooting and the second shooting, the lock down on the school was eased a bit. It's assumed that he went after the guy, but unknown fully. -At the second shooting, at least 51 students jumped from the second story window in a classroom right beside where the second shooting took place. At least one 9 mm semi-automatic was used. It's pretty crazy. Where I currently live, Roanoke, is just 20-odd minutes north of Blacksburg. I know Blacksburg almost as well as the city of Radford. It's insane. The press conference was utterly useless, as no information was essentially revealed whatsoever. Also, given the incredibly high winds that have affected the Roanoke and New River Valley area (where Blacksburg and Radford are), the killer couldn't have picked a better day, as use of helicopters to air-lift people has essentially been eradicated thanks to the aforementioned winds. Watch for the numbers of people that were injured to increase throughout the day thanks to the window-jumpers. EDIT-Changed because rumors are still rumors, no matter where they're heard from

YES. God, these are incredibly awesome.
Classics Devastater is out
what does site to store mean? You can have the item sent to the store, where you pick it up. You pay no shipping whatsoever, just the price of the item and then pick it up at the store that you send it to. It's just like Best Buy.com's and Circuit City.com's Item Pick-Up....except it's only available in select states. Clicking on it will tell you what states are available for that service. Oh, if only Virginia was one of them.

You'll be glad to hear that they have this new thing these days. It's called "the internet". @smilepunch@

ICS DEVASTATOR cancelled?
Chug replied to SalvoDeli's topic in Transformers
You do mean only one released, right? Y'know, since it was only released for Energon and that's it. At least, unless you count the Family Dollar/Dollar General/Big Lots Transformers: Universe rerelease of the Steamhammer and Energon Constructicons...of which there were no changes whatsoever except the card. Also, seeing as how I've only got Steamhammer, and to complete the giant at Energon level, it would cost nearly 40 dollars, 30 dollars won't break the bank for me. I'm actually looking at getting two to have an all Sledge/Bonecrusher Devestator. I thought this is the 3rd release? I have the energon sets. And I have a RID yellow Walmart exclusive set. This purple will be the 3rd right? What you have are Walmart exclusive Black Friday loss leaders. Those are all yellow repaints of the four RID Build Team molds, completely different from the Energon Constructicons. In fact, the all yellow repaints were sold before the Energon Constructicon molds were even released.

Deal of the Week - Amazing G1 Swoop Knock Off
Considering that it's a KO that probably doesn't cost the bootleggers more than 10 dollars in parts at most, yet typically sells for 9 to 10 times that amount, I'm still not quite sure I'd be so quick to label it a deal.
Just saw about 30 min worth of the tf movie
Chug replied to JayC's topic in Transformers
I don't know much about any of the other sites (though apparently Ryan of Seibertron and Tony of TFW2005 were also at the show) in attendance, but Kickback of TW2005 posted on the Allspark that Tony was absolutely amazed by what he saw, and apparently most of the crowd was as well. Now, granted, a lot of them were also allegedly suits, but hey, a good reaction is still a good reaction in my eyes, especially considering Tony was apparently a fairly large naysayer of the movie before the clip show.
Classics Magnus and Skywarp Reviews
Chug replied to pesatyel's topic in Transformers
The near official word is that the Magnus on the box had more paint apps than what's even allowed for a normal 30 dollar figure, much less what would be expected for a 30 dollar figure to be sold at 20 dollars. Both are great IMO, but they sure would have looked super snazzy if they were the box versions. Oh well.

members that show better news by other sites than what's been produced by TNI's sister sites have been deleted for no reason whatsoever. Example: a couple weeks ago, one Saturday morning, the RSS feed for TFormers made a topic about Hi-Res pics surfacing of the Voyager sized Ironhide Transformers Movie figure in an ebay auction. A link was included in the OP that sent back to TFormers' image gallery, which consisted of just three pictures. TFW2005 had a post showing the same pictures from the auction (whoever got the story up first, TFormers or TFW2005, I couldn't tell you), plus more Hi-Res shots of the very same picture sent to them from the auction's seller. Wanting to be useful to my fellow members, I posted a link to that post at TFW2005. Later that day, the OP of that topic got changed so that all of the posts within really made no sense. Also, that evening, the very same topic that was posted earlier that day is reposted-same words, same link to TFormers, everything. I'm all about helping fellow members, so I decide to repost the gallery seen at TFW2005 for the benefit of the members. Later that day, that post gets deleted, and after checking around my posts, it would appear that my aforementioned post has coincidentally enough been deleted as well. No warning was given at all. Now, I understand totally that JayC is the owner of TNI. Don't let the name American Dream Comics, Toy News International, or its listing as a public forum fool you-TNI, and subsequently enough, private property. Before anyone says anything, that's honestly not a shot meant at Jay whatsoever, as the same can be said of Tony Bacala at TFW2005, Kalidor at The Allspark, Jack at TFormers, Nick at CHUD, and so forth. If anything, it's a concept that we as posters at any message board should realize-when you post on TNI, you are subject to Jay's rules (or whatever board you may post at). Crying for civil liberties, freedom of speech, and any other nonsense is purely that-nonsense and nothing more. If you chooose not to follow the rules, then you can skidaddle. HOWEVER, it would very much be in Jay's favor to let all of the members know of any changes and updates to the rules. Giving at least a warning to the member if a member is being censored is something to be taken into consideration as well. Doing otherwise can only...besmirch the overall opinion of top ranking people as seen by everyone else. That's just basic management and marketing principles.

Nope, King Starscream. Unofficial fannnnnnnnnnnnnn arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrt. Actually, nearly two year old unofficial fannnnnnnnnnn arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrt. Sure looks nice though.
Chug replied to Sarge8170's topic in Transformers
Gears, actually. G1 Swerve was a remold of Gears, to tell the truth. Universe Swerve, a repaint of Armada Blurr. Alternators Swerve, a repaint of Alternators Swindle, and Cybertron Swerve, a repaint of Cybertron Clocker. Swerve lives to be nothing more than a red shadow of someone else. @smilepunch@ EDIT: Alternators Swerve, a repaint of Alternators Swindle? What am I thinking? Alternators Swerve is a repaint of Alternators Autobot Tracks with a new head mold. DUH.

Celcius 232
"Once you learn to read, you will be forever free." Frederick Douglas once said. Fahrenheit 451 addresses a society that books are to be burned by firemen whenever they were found. Contrasting to his job, Montag finds this inquiring and starts his journey of changing the world to a place full of books and new ideas. In Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury, the characterization of the protagonist, Montag, shows the change of his personality.
Montag is an ordinary looking fireman who is thought to be kind-hearted; however, he ponders the restrictions he has as a member of the society. At the beginning of the story, Montag is introduced just like the other firemen in the firehouse: "He hung up his black beetle-colored helmet and shined it; he hung his flameproof jacket neatly" (Bradbury 8). Ray Bradbury emphasizes the clothes that he wears as a fireman. The black beetle-colored helmet, and his flameproof jacket symbolize the appearance as a fireman. Moreover, when meeting Clarisse, Montag explained, "'Kerosene… is nothing but perfume to me'"(10). As fireman's job in his society was to burn books, kerosenes were always part of him. This was common among firemen, as they were all to use kerosene daily. Montag shows his kindness by talking with Clarisse and by accepting her ideas. Clarisse said, "'The others would walk off and leave me talking… You're one of the few who put up with me'" (27). Clarisse shares her thoughts about Montag by comparing him to other firemen. As he was one of the few that actually listened to Clarisse and her ideas, and made corresponding reactions to them, Montag was able to show his personality of kindness to Clarisse. As the society do not accept new ideas and knowledge, many of thoughts were ignored and thought to be crazy. However, unlike the others, Montag made connections to her questionings. Montag queried the society multiple times throughout the story. "I've been thinking…about the man whose library we fixed. What happened to him?" (37). After Montag had several conversations with Clarisse, he started to question about the actions he has done as a fireman. This included "fixing" libraries. Burning the libraries did not seem right for Montag as he thought of libraries as a place of knowledge and stories. Later in the story, he sets his mind that knowledge and books are important: "Montag was gone and back in a moment with a book in his hand" (100). As books give stories, knowledge, and common sense to people who read them, Montag read a poem to those who were foolish in voting, and even about their families. Even though Ms. Phelps had a strong emotional reaction when the poem was finished, Montag was sure that the contradicting ideas in books about society give a strong sense of community to all people. In conclusion, Montag, the compassionate average fireman, fights for the regulations as a citizen in his society.
I, just like Montag, also have thought differently from others and wanted to fight for my opinion. In a recent Model United Nations activity, I had contrasting opinions on restricting public awareness of countries about a specific issue. At that time, I was the only one who thought that public awareness should not be restricted since it would cause more confusion to the public. This made it difficult to address my opinion to other delegates in the committee just like Montag trying to say that books are beneficial.

You Could be a Genius if You Want To
Imagine yourself having a daughter that does not follow what you have her to do. Jing-Mei, the protagonist, was the type of daughter that only followed what she thought was right. This was a great frustration to her mother since she had an image of what she wanted her daughter to be. Jing-Mei always had opposing ideas with her mother. She wanted to be an ordinary child, while her mother wanted her to be a genius that has a talent. These opposing ideas established the conflict between Jing-Mei and her mother. What characteristics does Jing-Mei have that generated the growth of the conflict? In Amy Tan's "Two Kinds", | 0.833193 | 0.191308 | 1.21143 | 0.015994 | [

Ashers Baking Company owners Daniel and Amy McArthur have stated that God has been 'bringing about good', despite the Belfast Court of Appeal ruling against them in November.

Cradled in a manger
Our familiarity with the first Christmas scene can easily blunt us to its staggering wonder. Luke 2:12 records the infant Christ as 'lying in a manger'. Think of that! Here is condescension and humiliation of the highest degree, for here is the eternal Son of God — the One through whom God made all…
Ethics – Aisling Hubert
Pro-life campaigner Aisling Hubert has seen her challenge against the unjust costs awarded against her adjourned until January. The 23-year-old Christian woman, whose attempt to bring gender-abortion doctors to justice was derailed by the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS), is facing crippling legal costs.

People today must judge between two contradictory worldviews: the biblical worldview and the evolutionary worldview. I'm a lawyer, so I think about this like a legal case. Juries have to judge between opposing litigants, like we have to judge between worldviews. Juries do it by weighing the evidence. Let me give an example from…

Martin Luther, a German monk and university professor, nailed his 95 Theses on the door of the Castle Church at Wittenberg in Germany. The Theses were points Luther was making that were indirectly questioning…
International – Jakarta fury
A Christian governor in Jakarta has faced calls for his prosecution for 'blasphemy' from Muslim hardliners in Indonesia. Reports from the BBC showed angry protests in November, as tens of thousands of hard-line Muslims marched against the governor of Jakarta, demanding he is prosecuted for blasphemy. Basuki Tjahaja Purnama, a Christian, is the first…

A freedom campaigner finds Christ
My name is Julian Sebothane Bahula, and I was born and brought up in Pretoria, South Africa. In the 1960s, I became a professional musician and composer, and was very famous throughout South Africa with the Malombo Jazz Men. In those days, all South Africans were political in one way or another and, while…

Wise men from the east
'Now after Jesus was born, in Bethlehem of Judea, in the days of Herod the king, behold wise men from the east came to Jerusalem, saying, Where is he who has been born King of the Jews?' (Matthew 2:1-2). The visit of the wise men to worship our Lord at the time of his…

My wonderful Saviour
Brought up in a Hindu household, I was exposed to rites and rituals of the religion, most of which I failed to grasp the meaning of. But, even as the Bible forbids worshipping and serving the creature rather than the creator, it didn't sit right with me — I did believe that there was…
By John Blanchard
When Richard Dawkins claims, 'There is no good historical evidence that [Jesus] ever thought he was divine', he is tripping blindfold over the truth. C. S. Lewis gets us on the right track when he writes, 'The doctrine of Christ's divinity seems to me not something stuck on, which you can unstick, but something…

Anniversary – Wensleydale church celebrates 25th
On Friday 7 October, Wensleydale Evangelical Church, Leyburn, celebrated its 25th anniversary. The history of the church goes back to 1985, when two families moved near Catterick Garrison. They were then members of an evangelical church 15 miles away, and shared concern about the lack of evangelical churches in this area. They began to…

How I became a Christian
I was not born a Christian just because I was brought up in this country with its Christian heritage, or because I was baptised and confirmed in the local Anglican church and became a choirboy. My parents had no interest in the Bible, and so there was not a copy to be found in…

From blasphemer to preacher
I was not brought up in a Christian home, although my mum and dad were in certain ways quite religious and members of the Russian Orthodox Church in Finland, where I was baptised as a baby. My mum and dad divorced when I was about seven years old, leaving me and my younger brother…

For the Christian, carol singing should be about more than hitting the right notes, Simoney Kyriakou explains. Carols by candlelight, Michaelmas music, Christmas carol service, nine lessons and carols: whatever we call it, this is the one event nearly every Christian denomination spends a lot of time, money and dedication in preparing. Each year,…

The angels' message to the shepherds – and to us
Angels and shepherds. It's hard to escape them at this time of year. You'll find them on Christmas cards, in shop windows and at the school nativity play; not to mention the carols we hear as we turn on our radios and TVs, or make our way through shopping centres and major railway stations.…

The wonder of Christ's person
Is Jesus really God? In AD 319, Arius, a deacon in Alexandria, fired the first shots in a 60-year war that would come to engulf all of Christianity in the Roman empire. Arius argued, 'If the Father begat the Son, then he who was begotten had a beginning in existence, and from this it…
International – Ukrainian suffering
Christians in the so-called 'grey zone' of Ukraine are in urgent need of help as winter approaches. According to reports from Barnabas Fund, the conflict between the Ukrainian army and Russian-backed separatists is still continuing. But with the bitter winter months, many of those in exile are without fuel, food, life-saving medicines and basic…
Media – Bible evidence unearthed
Archaeologists in Israel have found evidence supporting the Bible's account of the fight against Ba'al worship. According to a report in Christian Today, written by Ruth Gledhill, archaeologists have proved that passages of the Bible about the triumph of Judaism over the pagan Ba'al worship are true. The report cited the fight against paganism…
Ethics – Disability double-standard
Disability debates have exposed deep hypocrisy at the heart of parliament, a leading peer has claimed. As Lord Shinkwin's Abortion (Disability Equality) Bill sailed through its second reading in the House of Lords, some peers argued strongly against limiting the rights of the parents to abort a disabled child.

The light has dawned
Winter is here again with its dark evenings and mornings. We will often find ourselves walking in its darkness; it's not surprising that Christmas lights are so popular. Every year more of us fight the darkness by brightening up our homes and gardens with hundreds of festive lights. Worldwide darkness Do you feel that…
By Stephen Ford
I was born in Nottingham in 1949. My family was respectable, but with no serious interest in God. Church was only for family occasions like christenings and weddings. 50 years ago this month, I trusted in Jesus Christ to be my Saviour and Lord, and my life changed direction. Superficially, that change seemed to…

'For a while'
Bala in North Wales is a very Welsh town. The language spoken in the homes and shops is Welsh, and the names of the houses you pass are, with very few exceptions, Welsh. One of these exceptions is the nameplate on a house passed if you enter Bala from the Dogellau road. The name…
Christmas – Host a student
Charity Host, founded 29 years ago by the British Council, Foreign & Commonwealth Office, and Victoria League, is encouraging UK families to offer up their home for one to four days to foreign students this Christmas.

International – Trump, Christianity and Evangelicals
Christians on both sides of the Atlantic are reacting very differently to the news that Donald J. Trump has become president-elect of the US.

Christmas wonder
At this time of year, our minds are drawn to the wonder of the birth — the incarnation — of Jesus Christ. Referring to Christ's incarnation, the Bible says: 'Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus, who, being in the form of God, did not consider it robbery to…
Christmas – Shine for ShelterBox
Britons have been encouraged to get together with friends and family to brighten evacuees' lives, through a new campaign from disaster relief charity ShelterBox. Its Christmas season 'Shine for ShelterBox' campaign aims to encourage people to get together for a candlelit winter feast, and raise funds to help people around the world who have…

Taking God seriously
Recently I read of an unnerving experience that happened to a pastor and his wife flying back from a Christian conference abroad. The conduct they witnessed teaches us a great deal about human behaviour and attitudes. They were flying from Portland back to Los Angeles and all seemed to be going well. All of…
International – Help for Haiti
Haiti is recovering from another devastating weather front, and Christian organisations such as Siloam Christian Ministries, in partnership with Childcare Worldwide (CCW), are providing ongoing critical care. Richard Norton, Siloam's UK director, said, 'We want to relieve suffering and recognise that the impoverished benefit from a "hand-up" rather than a mere hand-out. On the…

Two views from space
The year 2011 was remembered as the 50th anniversary of the Russian Uri Gagarin's first flight into space. Though his exact words have been disputed, and communist propaganda was undoubtedly at work, Gagarin is famously said to have quipped, 'I see no God up here'. In 2012 the American Neil Armstrong passed away. He…

Christianity and Christmas
Paul Mackrell encourages both Christians and non-Christians not to confuse true Christianity with the trappings of Christmas. Annual national events seem to be getting bigger and bigger. More chocolate is now eaten at Easter than ever before. The mix of childish and sinister rituals that is Halloween grows with each succeeding year. And Remembrance…

Knowing true peace with God
I grew up in a family which went to church every Sunday. Gradually I came to realise that attending church and living an outwardly respectable life did not make me a Christian. I needed to accept that God's definition of sin included the self-centred attitudes of my heart. Only by believing that Christ died…

My name is Demi. I'm 25, from Bulgaria, but have been living in London for five years. I graduated from Middlesex University and since then have been working as a guitar and piano teacher. I was raised in an Orthodox country, where the majority of people identify themselves as Christian, but have no idea…
By Alison Wilhelmsson
For the first 18 years of my life, if anyone had asked me if I believed in God, my response would have been a firm, 'No!' I had no religious upbringing, having only attended a church a few times in my life. What I knew about Christianity, I had been taught at school and,…

God's amazing love
At one time, there was no more to my life than the plans I'd made of going to university, getting a job, maybe marrying, and having a family; then, I suppose, retirement and a few relaxing years — and what then? I knew from reading the Bible and going to church that there was…

Who is in control?
Over the years, I have heard people express views that Jesus Christ's return is imminent. As a young Christian, it was difficult to match such clear supposed insights with Jesus' teaching, about only the Father knowing the appointed time. I now receive a state pension and I find myself doing a lot of reflecting.…
Youth – SALT Youth Conference
Grace Baptist Partnership and Trinity Baptist Church, Dundee, held their twelfth and largest youth conference on 25September, in north Edinburgh. It was great day of lively and applied Bible ministry. It is encouraging to see an increasing number of teens and twenties being drawn to solid teaching and Christian fellowship. The theme was timely…
Media – Worth of a soul
Billy Graham's month-long London Crusade in 1966 is celebrating its 50th anniversary with the release of a new film. Franklin Graham is spearheading the new gospel message in the film The worth of a soul, as a free evangelistic resource for churches across the country. The 2016 instalment features an evangelistic message from Mr…
From crime to Christ
In April 2016, John Lawson shared his spiritual experience with BBC Radio Scotland (interview in full at http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p03r150l). This report is made available from the Christian Institute. A man who ran London's biggest brothel and was planning a murder has told the BBC how his life was turned around by Jesus Christ. Criminal life John…

Nepal's most unlikely church-planter (1)
Down the valley from Kathmandu, the ancient capital of Nepal, rests an even older city. In Bhaktapur, the timeworn traditions of Hinduism sink as deep into the dry soil as the white-capped Himalayan mountains rise in the background. Bhakt | 0.483926 | -0.730865 | 0.229905 | -0.917248 | [

ets and through select carriers. If you don't mind that, then you'll get all the basics, except for the SD card. When measured as a standard rectangular shape, the screen is 12.9 inches diagonally (actual viewable area is less). Size and weight vary by configuration and manufacturing process. Not available in China mainland. I've been writing about Apple and video games for almost a decade. It also gives you six more ports, including an SD card slot, which all of the other options are missing. So if you don't need to use it with your iPad Pro, you can use it with your USB-C MacBook or other devices. Next, connect the iPad to the USB port using a USB cable. The iPad Pro now has a USB-C port instead of Apple's Lightning connector. The Satechi Mobile Pro Hub Adapter is designed for the iPad Pro with USB-C. So, if you don't mind a dongle that is hanging off of your iPad Pro while you're working on it, then it should be fine. It connects directly with the iPad Pro and perfectly matches the design with the aluminum body and finish, feeling like Apple designed it. The HyperDrive USB-C Hub Adapter includes the following: 3.5mm audio jack, USB-A, SD, Micro SD, USB-C, and HDMI. Not all carriers support Apple SIM and eSIM. When measured as a standard rectangular shape, the screen is 12.9 inches diagonally (actual viewable area is less). Limited storage versus MacBooks. Testing consisted of full battery discharge while performing each of the following tasks: video playback and internet browsing using Wi‑Fi or cellular data network. The 12.9-inch iPad Pro display has rounded corners that follow a beautiful curved design, and these corners are within a standard rectangle. When measured as a standard rectangular shape, the screen is 11 inches diagonally (actual viewable area is less). Unfortunately, it connects via a cable. Hook the Lightning-to-USB connection kit to the iPad. All settings were default except: Wi‑Fi was associated with a network (except for internet browsing over cellular data network); the Wi‑Fi feature Ask to Join Networks and Auto-Brightness were turned off; Brightness was set to 50%; and WPA2 encryption was enabled. While there are many of the best iPad Pro USB-C hubs on the market, the one we think is the overall best pick is the HyperDrive 6-in-1 USB-C Hub Adapter. Storage capacity subject to change based on software version and may vary by device. For details on LTE support, contact your carrier and see. I just realised that there is no USB C to USB A cable supplied with new iPad Pro. Engrave your iPad with your name or a personal note — free. (If you have an older iPad with the 30-pin connector, you need the 30-pin USB adapter.) The MacBook Pro (late 2016 and newer) sports at least two, and up to four Thunderbolt 3 ports, but that's all. Accessibility features help people with disabilities get the most out of their new iPad Pro. Call a Specialist or chat online. Get a hub! With this space-saving design, it stays out of the way while still providing you with all of the ports you need. There is a short cable that connects the plug to the hub, and the hub itself attaches to the corner of your iPad Pro. That allows the tablet to make use of the variety of ports built into the Doqo. This hub is also compatible with any USB-C device, especially since it connects via a cable and does not sit flush with the iPad Pro. Internet access required. Pages, Numbers, Keynote, iMovie, GarageBand, iTunes U, Clips, and Apple Store app are preinstalled on iPad. We may earn a commission for purchases using our links.

The HyperDrive USB-C Hub, for example, connects directly to the new 2018 iPad Pro to add six new ports: 4K HDMI, 35mm Audio Jack, SD, Micro SD, USB-A 3.0 and USB-C Power Delivery. 2020 iPadOS comes with powerful features and built-in apps designed to take advantage of the unique capabilities of iPad. LENTION USB C Hub with 3 USB 3.0 and SD/Micro SD Card Reader Compatible 2020-2016 MacBook Pro 13/15/16, New Mac Air/iPad Pro/Surface, ChromeBook, More, Multi-Port Type C Adapter (CB-C15, Space Gray) 4.3 out of 5 stars 1,411 You get fast data transfer, crystal clear picture quality, and stable connections—all in one small, compact package. This means if you want to use iTunes (or any 3rd party Apple device management program like iMazing), you will need either a computer with USB C port or get your own USB C to USB A cable. The price is also pretty highly affordable, considering what you are getting. The iPad Pro's single USB Type-C port is one of my main frustrations about an otherwise truly stellar piece of technology. Final assembly supplier sites for iPad Pro are third-party certified as Zero Waste by UL LLC (UL 2799 Standard). You get 4K HDMI port, USB 3.0, SD Card reader, USB-C Data Port for Headphones, USB-C PD Port, and 3.5 mm headphone jack.

Since 2018, the iPad Pro switched over to the universal USB-C port for charging and accessories. For example, Apple charges $299 to fix an iPad Air 2 charging port, but you can get the same repair for $129 at iResQ – a $170 difference. All of these can transfer data at up to 5 Gbps. This hub gives you a total of nine additional ports: 1 RJ45 gigabit ethernet LAN port, 1 USB-C to HDMI port (4K/30Hz), 1 Type C PD charging port (87W), 13.5mm Audio/Mic jack, 3 USB 3.0 port, 1 SD card reader and 1 TF/Micro SD card reader. There's nothing like a good wallet case to simplify your life. Winner: iPad Pro. The price is great, but it does hang by a cable. Surface Pro 7: ports. Good for you. What to do if you need other ports? It turns the single USB-C connection into 6 ports: 3.5mm audio jack, USB-A, SD, Micro SD, USB-C, and HDMI. The model you purchase is configured to work with a particular cellular network technology. Reference the table above to see how much pro repair centers charge for iPad charging port replacement.

Migration Policy Institute Hopes to Undermine 287(g) Programs with Latest Report
Rep. Poe Reintroduces "National Guard Border Enforcement Act"
ICE Exposes Sham University in California
Pew Hispanic Center: Eight Percent of U.S. Newborns are to Illegal Aliens
Last week, the Migration Policy Institute (MPI) released a report critical of the 287(g) program, an important program that helps train local law enforcement agencies to assist in the enforcement of federal immigration laws. (Delegation and Divergence: A Study of 287(g) State and Local Immigration Enforcement, Jan. 2011) The MPI report examines the implementation of the 287(g) program in several localities and concludes that certain law enforcement agencies were using the program to remove all illegal aliens instead of only criminal legal aliens. This practice, MPI claims, runs counter to the Obama administration's enforcement priorities and the claim is the original intent of the program. (Id.)
The 287(g) program was enacted in 1996 as part of the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act. (ICE Fact Sheet) Under § 287(g) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA), state and local law enforcement officials may enter into agreements with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to perform immigration law enforcement functions at the local level. (Id.) After signing an agreement with DHS, the authorized local law enforcement officers must then receive appropriate immigration enforcement training and perform their duties under the supervision of ICE officers. There are currently 72 jurisdictions across America operating with 287(g) agreements. (Id.)
In its study, MPI complained that officers are using the 287(g) program to issue immigration detainers to virtually all illegal aliens they encounter, including those who commit traffic offenses. (Id.) Despite MPI's complaints, this is fully consistent with federal law. Under section 287(g)(1) of the INA, a local officer trained under 287(g) may carry out functions "consistent with State and local law." (INA §287(g)(1)) Thus, it is legal for an officer authorized under 287(g) to issue an immigration detainer to an individual determined to be illegal during the course of the traffic stop. Nevertheless, MPI believes that the 287(g) should not be used to detain illegal aliens whenever police officers encounter, finding that jurisdictions that used 287(g) to detain illegal aliens in this manner "had more significant negative impacts on immigrant communities," including "avoidance of public places, changes in driving behavior, fear and mistrust of authorities, and reluctance to report crimes." Although many might characterize this as deterrence, MPI recommends that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) limit the program so that detainers are only issued to illegal aliens after they are convicted of a felony or three or more misdemeanors, or if they have a prior removal order. (Delegation and Divergence at 4, 50.)
MPI also voiced concern that 287(g) encourages a racial profiling which incites fear among immigrant populations and encourages communities to relocate from 287(g) jurisdictions. (Id. at 38; MPI Event, Jan. 31, 2011) MPI said that despite the complaints of racial profiling, it did not investigate these claims due to "data limitations." Meanwhile, a spokesman for Montgomery County Executive Ike Leggett denied that 287(g) results in population shifts out of racial profiling fears: "[I]t has often been said by folks who are in | -0.739879 | 0.674778 | 0.189325 | 0.438716 | [

Northern Virginia and the Frederick County Sheriff that illegal immigrants are flocking to Montgomery County. That's not true." (Washington Examiner, Feb. 2, 2011) In addition, Sheriff Charles Jenkins of Frederick County, Maryland—one of the 287(g) jurisdictions MPI observed—reported that they have had no problems with rights violations. "All the myths of profiling – they just don't exist," he said. (Id.)
MPI further asserts that the 287(g) program results in prohibitive state and local costs, in addition to "downstream" federal costs. (Id. at 29) At a public panel discussion to detail the report, an MPI panelists provided to a cost estimate of $5 billion annually for the enforcement program, but that number does not appear in the report and it is unclear where this estimate originated. (MPI Event, Jan. 11, 2010) FAIR's own research team has estimated illegal immigration creates a national annual cost of $113 Billion, twenty times greater than the claimed cost of the 287(g) enforcement program. (FAIR: Immigration Facts National Data, 2010)
MPI is considered to be one of the influential organizations helping the Obama Administration develop immigration policy. One of its most prominent fellows, Doris Meissner, served as the Commissioner of the Immigration and Naturalization Service for the Clinton Administration. MPI's report is therefore an important indicator of how outside organizations will be attempting to change the Obama Administrations approach to immigration enforcement. Ironically, MPI's recommendations that the Obama Administration curtail use of the 287(g) program comes at a time when state and local governments nationwide are seeking out additional ways to enforce immigration rules because the federal government has fallen short. (See FAIR Legislative Updates, Jan. 10, 2011; Jan. 18, 2011; Jan. 24, 2011; Jan. 31, 2011)
On the first day of the 2011 legislative session, Rep. Ted Poe (R-TX) reintroduced the "National Guard Border Enforcement Act" (H.R.152), a bill that aims to secure the U.S.-Mexico border by increasing the number of National Guard Troops deployed.
Under H.R. 152, the deployment of National Guard troops to the border takes place in two ways. First, it requires that the Secretary of Defense deploy no less than an additional 10,000 National Guard Troops along the U.S.-Mexico border. (§ 2(a)(1)) These troops are to remain deployed along the border until Homeland Security certifies that the Federal Government has achieved operational control of the border (operational control is defined as "the prevention of all unlawful entries into the U.S., including entries by terrorists, other unlawful aliens, instruments of terrorism, narcotics, and other contraband). (Id.; Public Law 109-367) Second, the bill provides that a governor of a U.S.-Mexico border state may request additional troops from the Secretary of Defense if more troops are needed to attain operational control. (§ 2(a)(2))
Key to Rep. Poe's "National Guard Border Enforcement Act" is that troops may be deployed under Section 502(f) of Title 32 of the U.S. Code. Under Title 32, command and control over the National Guard lies with the governor of each respective state; however, troops serve a federal purpose and receive federal pay and benefits, saving state governments from the costs of deploying the troops themselves. (CRS Report, June 16, 2010) Arizona Governor Jan Brewer, for example, has stated that she would like to use her authority as Governor to invoke the National Guard herself but that the State of Arizona could not afford it. (NY Times, May 25, 2010)
Rep. Poe's bill also provides federal funding to a state for the implementation of a drug interdiction program pursuant to Section 112(a) of Title 32 of the U.S. Code. (§2(b)) Thus, the Secretary of Defense may grant funding to the governor of a state who submits | -0.402254 | 1.07946 | 0.171571 | 0.698853 | [

a "drug interdiction and counterdrug activities plan." (CRS Report, June 16, 2010) Because securing the porous U.S.-Mexico border is critical to preventing drug smuggling, the drug interdiction plans will likely include border security and immigration-related functions. (Id.)
President Obama sent 1,200 National Guard troops to the southern border during August and September of 2010; however, the number of illegal aliens coming across the border has remained unchanged since that deployment, suggesting that additional troops and overall more resources are needed. (Pew Hispanic Center Report, Feb. 1, 2011) Upon the introduction of his bill, Rep. Poe declared: "Texans are tired of the federal government's failure to secure our borders and enforce our laws, yet at the same time running roughshod over state governments when they try to enforce the law and protect their citizens." (Rep. Poe Press Release, Jan. 6, 2011) "The federal government's 'not our problem' attitude is unacceptable and this legislation will require the Defense Department to do what they were created to do – protect the people of this country and the dignity of our borders." (Id.)
Last month, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents searched the Tri-Valley University campus in Pleasanton, CA as part of an investigation into whether the University is being used as a sham to fraudulently admit individuals to the U.S. under the student visa program. (Fox News, Jan. 28, 2011)
The complaint filed by the U.S. District Attorney's Office claims that the University's President and founder, Susan Su, was part of an elaborate scheme to defraud the government, using false statements and misrepresentations to acquire visas. (San Jose Mercury News, Jan. 21, 2011) According to the complaint, "Since its inception . . . Tri-Valley University has been a sham university, which Su, and others, have used to facilitate foreign nationals in illegally acquiring student immigration status that authorizes them to remain in the United States." (Id.) Su was caught giving F-1 student visas to undercover agents posing as foreign nationals, who told her they wanted to come to the U.S, but had no intention of attending classes. (Fox News, Jan. 28, 2011) Su and the University have allegedly made millions from the scheme. (San Jose Mercury News, Jan. 21, 2011)
According to officials, the alleged fraud was complex in nature. To entice foreign nationals to enroll, the University offered Curricular Practical Training (CPT) to its students allowing them to work up to 40 hours a week from day one of the semester. (The Times of India, Feb. 3, 2011) CPT includes any internship, cooperative education, or any other type of practicum offered by sponsoring employers through agreements with the school. (ICE Website, Feb. 5, 2011) Demonstrating the extent to which CPT may be exploited, the Times of India reported that one Indian student, who went to Schiller International University in Florida for her MBA, "attended" Tri-Valley with a 20 other students after her course was over to take advantage of the University's CPT program. (The Times of India, Feb. 3, 2011)
ICE approved Tri-Valley University's participation in the Student Exchange and Visa Program (SEVP) in February 2009, the school to sponsor F-1 visas for foreign students. (Id; ICE approved SEVP schools) For a foreign student to maintain his or her visa status, he or she must show they are making progress toward completing coursework and physically attend classes. (Id.) ICE officials believe that the University had the same Silicon Valley apartment address listed for a majority of its students to give the impression that the students were physically attending classes when most do not even live in California. (Id.; Fox News, Jan. 28, 2011) Consequently, most of the students are thought to be working in other states and are now scrambling to either transfer to another school, or get a valid visa to stay in the United States.

CHAMBERSBURG >> Chambersburg's track & field teams evened their records at 2-2 with a pair of Mid Penn Commonwealth Division wins over Mifflin County.
The boys got off to a great start, winning the 4x800 relay and sweeping the hurdles, then rode that momentum to a 108-42 victory. The girls won all but two events on the track and earned a 106-44 win.
"We finally got some nice weather, and I really felt like the kids capitalized on that opportunity," Chambersburg boys coach Bob Walker said. "You like to see that as a coach. We swept the relays, and we almost won the meet on the track alone. A lot of people were responsible for those wins; it wasn't just one or two people."
Tanner Amsley kick-started the success for the boys (2-2, 2-2 MPC). Despite trailing by at least 20 meters heading into the last leg of the 4x800, he past his Huskie opponent rounding the first turn, and the Trojans went on to win the race by nearly 10 seconds.
"That really inspired our whole team," Walker said. "But I cautioned our captains: Remember the Cumberland Valley meet. We started off well, but we needed to finish. The boys kept the hammer down the entire meet."
Kelton Chastulik picked up a pair of wins, throwing the shot 47-5.5 and the discus 148-2. Nate Long was first in the javelin (148-2) and second in the shot (42-10).
"The throwing trio of Kelton, Nate and Nery (Gordiano, second in discus) got a lot of points for us," Walker said. "Kendall Keepler is getting better every day. He's never cleared 6-2 outdoors before, and he had a lot of nice attempts at 6-4."
Keepler took second in the event. Also, Alex Aquino-Flores had a season best time in the 400, clocking in at 52.6 seconds to win the event.
Like the boys, the Lady Trojans (2-2, 2-2 MPC) swept the relays, recording season-best times in all three.
"(Abby) Yourkavitch, (Cadie) Kiser and (Kaylee) Mowery did their normal scoring for us," Trojan girls coach Chris Monheim said. "But also, Ally Neidigh and Cassie Essie had really good meets today, and Mara Leary scored some good points for us too. Cirsten Kelly and Miana Harrison continue to do a great job for us in the sprints."
Madison Swain recorded a personal best in the 400, finishing in 1:05.4 to take third place. Reagan Winebrenner took second in the shot with a PR throw of 33-4, and Mathia McKay threw the javelin 102-0, her first time over 100-feet, to place second.
"We had a great day overall," Monheim said. "It was our best day on the track by far of the season. The weather was great, so the performances across the board were very good."

How many times have we heard this in our lives? As toddlers learning new things our parents might have encouraged us to pay attention. As first graders our teachers might have sang a cute little song to get us to focus. As high school students our teachers probably demanded that we stay awake and pay attention to what they were saying because it was critical to our survival in the real world! Well……here we are surviving. Let's be honest did we really pay attention even when we were awake? Pretty sure the answer for most of us is no. I see this everyday working with high school students. They are the world's best at zoning out, I mean wayyy out. I always thought it was just because they do the same things everyday and are just too cool for school. You know you've been there. BUT something happened Friday that changed my assumption. I was participating in a career day listening to this wonderful physician's assistant talk about his career, something he was clearly passionate about. I was really into what he was presenting. Then, my eyes skimmed the room full of adults and students, every single person was zoned out. Gone with the wind. At first I felt so sad for this man who was excited and passionate about his career; he was funny, and had a neat presentation going. My sadness quickly turned to anger that these people were not paying attention to him. Then, I started to process everything that was actually happening and it hit me like a ton of bricks what the term "pay attention" really means.
When we "pay attention" we are literally paying someone with our attention.
How beautiful is that? To be able to give someone a gift such as our attention, what an honor. But, to not pay our attention when someone is in front of us sharing something, not so honorable. Have you ever had a moment where attention was paid to you? Maybe an intimate conversation with a family member or friend, maybe an audience at a speaking engagement, maybe your boss when you have a work issue. Paying attention is something we get the chance to encounter everyday. If you continue to think about that moment when someone really gave you their attention, you might be reminded of how you felt. I'm thinking it made you feel pretty special, probably loved. These people are gifting you their attention and in turn you feel loved and comfortable enough to continue to share. What an awesome moment. Now can you recall a time when someone failed to pay attention to you? How did that make you feel? Probably pretty small, unloved, not needed. I feel you on that one! People who fail to pay you with their attention are letting their actions speak, and most of the time we end up translating those actions–they don't care about us. They don't care enough to listen. They aren't invested. This leads to shutting down, losing trust, reclusive behavior. Giving the gift of attention allows people around you to grow, bloom, and flourish.
What does paying attention look like?
What if you slowed down and made an effort to genuinely hear, not just listen, to people daily. How different would your world be? What if you slowed down and gifted your kids with your attention at breakfast, what would this do for their world? What if you gifted an employee or co-worker your attention when they come into your office? Or if you gifted attention to your sister when she calls you? No doubt the lives of these people would begin to flourish. Being aware of your attention is something you can practice daily. It starts with you. Are you gifting attention to yourself? Spending quiet time with yourself daily is a great step. Time to just sit. It is a way to quiet your mind for the people you will spend time with. This is the start of the gift, pulling together your awareness of your body and mind–your attention. As you move throughout your day and begin to encounter people, being present in the moment will also help in gifting attention. If your mind is thinking about what you're going to eat, or how late you're going to be, or all of the emails you need to send out then you can't gift your full attention to someone. Clear your mind and be in that moment. When you think back to the time someone paid attention to you, they were probably just right there in that moment. Their mind wasn't lost in thoughts somewhere, they were just with you. In order to pay attention we have to be present. Meet the other right where they are. This is showering them with a beautiful gift that will allow growth. Another aspect of gifting your attention is to enter the conversation judgement free, | 1.044123 | -1.323563 | 1.094763 | -0.895136 | [

The Incidence of Cannibalism in Aboriginal Society
William D. Rubinstein
"Cannibalism is practised by all natives on the north coast with whom I have come in contact, with the exception of a very small tribe inhabiting the immediate neighbourhood of Port Essington … The eating of grown-up people—that is, of natives—is, as far as I can ascertain, not practised. Only children of tender age—up to about two years old—are considered fit subjects for food, and if they fall ill are often strangled by the old men, cooked, and eaten, and all parts except the head, which is skinned and buried, are considered a delicacy. Parents eat their own children, and all, young and old, partake of it. The only instance I have heard where grown-up people have been eaten, was that of two Europeans who were out exploring in the neighbourhood of the Tor Rock, about forty miles inland from Mount Norris Bay; this was in 1874. These unfortunate travellers were, according to the statements of the friendly natives, killed by the 'Tor Rock' tribe, cooked and eaten; and from my own knowledge of the natives in that neighbourhood I have no reason to doubt this statement to be correct." (P. Foelsche, "Notes on the Aborigines of North Australia", in Transactions of the Royal Society of South Australia, vol. 5, 1882.)
"The natives to the south eat human flesh. It is said that they engage in regular human hunting parties for this purpose … It is even said that they roast and eat their own infants, if they succeed each other too quickly. Only last year a woman not far from here did it, and when reproved for so doing, by means of an interpreter (for they speak a different language), she was surprised at being found fault with, as she considered the roasting and eating of her own child as something quite natural." (Rev. Louis Schulze, missionary, "The Aborigines of the Upper and Middle Finke River: Their Habits and Customs", in Transactions of the Royal Society of South Australia, vol. 14, 1891.)
This essay appears in the latest Quadrant.
There are literally hundreds of accounts of Aboriginal cannibalism, dating from the first European settlement in Australia to the 1930s or even later. These accounts were made in all the states and territories of Australia with the possible exception of Tasmania. They were written by witnesses and commentators from a wide variety of backgrounds who wrote in many genres—newspaper articles; autobiographies, many not meant for publication; court reports; scholarly proceedings, as in the accounts quoted above. They were written by persons not in contact with one another, often hundreds of kilometres apart, and having no knowledge of the accounts made by other white Australians, and whose veracity, when they wrote on other topics, would not be questioned.
Reports of Aboriginal cannibalism comprised a significant component of works on Aboriginal society down to the 1950s or even later. Since then they have vanished from all depictions of Aboriginal society, and, if asserted today, would be regarded as the embodiment of racism, and dismissed out of hand. These old and frank depictions of Aboriginal society have been replaced by their opposite: veneration for the indigenous inhabitants of Australia and their society as utopian and pristinely moral, and any trace of the endemic and nightmarishly barbaric world inhabited by the Aborigines found by virtually all early observers here has been totally erased, its depiction as fact wholly taboo.
Aboriginal cannibalism had many different aspects, but the practice existed because of one all-important fact. The Aborigines were pre-literate nomadic hunter-gatherers, who did not grow crops or domesticate livestock for food, and thus were often starving, and were certainly lacking in protein sources. As a result, they turned to eating human flesh, often making a virtue of necessity by endowing the practice with religious significance. Sometimes their cannibalism consisted of deliberately killing and eating small children, women, or the elderly, sometimes of eating enemy warriors slain in battle in the frequent inter-tribal wars and conflicts (which are also almost entirely missing from recent accounts of Aboriginal society). Another means of accomplishing the all-important goal of limiting a tribe's | 0.823605 | 2.508382 | 1.196213 | 1.258148 | [

population to a level which could realistically be supported by the available resources was infanticide, which was widely practised and which has also been excluded from contemporary depictions of Aboriginal life. (On the reasons for Aboriginal cannibalism and infanticide, see my article "Life and Death in Pre-Contact Aboriginal Australia", Quadrant, October 2020.)
"Mr Willshire declares that infanticide is a very common crime among the natives, and that lubras [Aboriginal women] as a rule kill off their surplus offspring, two being considered a full family. A sable matron once owned to him that she had killed three of her five children immediately after birth, and remarked, 'me bin keep em one boy one girl, no good keep em mob, him too much wantem tuckout'." — Review of W.H. Willshire's The Aborigines of Central Australia, in the South Australian Register, May 14, 1889.
Aboriginal cannibals demonstrated a number of distinctive culinary preferences. It appears that they greatly favoured the taste of Chinese people, whom they found and killed in remote areas of settlement, over the apparently saltier taste of Europeans:
"Urquhart says his boys always told him the blacks did not like the taste of whites much—they were too salt [sic]—but that they relished Chinamen, hundreds of whom were killed while packing provisions across the Peninsula to the Palmer River goldfields [in Queensland] in the days following Mulligan's discovery of the field. This fact was put down to the salt-beef diet of the early whites, while the Chinese lived more on rice. Urquhart was called out to hunt up the murderers of a Chinaman living in a lonely hut by the roadside … Following up the blacks, Urquhart came upon them while engaged in the preparation of a meal. He and his troopers dashed into the camp and scattered the natives in all directions. On the fire was a looted pot, and simmering inside it was the Chinaman's foot and some sweet potatoes." –-Hudson Fysh, Taming the North (1933), referring to the period after gold was discovered in 1873.
"The blacks west of Cooktown showed me several of the clay white-ant nest camp ovens, where they roasted the Chinese in the old Palmer digging days. On one occasion, I was present where two Chinese were roasted, and cut up, smelling and looking exactly like roast pork, even the yellow skin crinkled like that of pork, the resemblance being astonishing. One man they refused to eat, as he had been an opium eater, and his flesh had the odour of opium." –"Memories of the Late Archibald Meston", courtesy of E.A. Meston, in Cummins and Campbell's Monthly Magazine, December 1936.
Cannibalism apparently became part of the religious practice among at least some of the Aborigines.
"In parts of New South Wales such as Bathurst, Goulburn, the Lachlan or Macquarie, it was customary long ago for the first-born of every lubra to be eaten by the tribe, as part of a religious ceremony; and I recollect a blackfellow who had, in compliance with the custom, been thrown when an infant on the fire, but was rescued and brought up by some stock-keepers who happened accidentally to be passing at the time. The marks of the burns were distinctly visible on the man when I saw him, and his story was well known in the locality." –– R. Brough Smith, The Aborigines of Victoria, Volume One, 1878.
It would seem, however, that most of the people eaten by the Aborigines had already died, and their bodies were cooked and eaten rather than buried. There are dozens of contemporary reports about this practice, which appears to have been almost ubiquitous in some parts of Australia.
"When anyone dies, provided he or she be not too old, certain of the male relatives take the body out into the bush and cook it in a native oven … When all the flesh is removed—apparently everything is eaten—the bones are collected, and, with the exception of the long ones from the arm, are wrapped in paperbark and handed over to the custody of a relative."— Walter Baldwin Spencer and Francis James Gillen, | 0.531865 | 2.802045 | 0.559616 | 1.03443 | [

Across Australia, 1912.
There are also a great many reports of the cooking and eating of warriors from hostile tribes who had been killed in one of the many and frequent tribal wars and violent clashes.
As noted, however, infanticide appears to have been an important means of population limitation. Nineteenth-century European observers of Aboriginal life in South Australia and Victoria stated that about 30 per cent of Aboriginal infants were killed at birth. According to Gillian Cowlishaw, writing on "Infanticide in Aboriginal Australia" in Oceania (vol. XLVIII, 1978), deformed children were "always killed at birth", as were "one or both of twins", and illegitimate children.
In addition to accounts by settlers, reports about cannibalism were made to Australian government officials and accepted by them. For instance, in forwarding to the Secretary of State for War and the Colonies, Lord Stanley, a copy of an account by Charles Sievwright, assistant protector of the Aborigines of the Port Phillip District, dated April 25, 1841, Governor Gipps noted: "It exhibits, perhaps, one of the most ferocious acts of cannibalism on record." The account, describing the fate of the corpse of a young Bolagher woman, who had been speared by a member of the Targurt people at Lake Terang, west of Melbourne, makes gruesome reading. (I owe this reference to Michael Connor, The Invention of Terra Nullius, Macleay Press, 2005, pp. 91–94):
On being directed by some of the women, who had likewise sought shelter near my tent, to the huts of the Bolaghers, I there found a young woman, supported in the arms of some of her tribe, quite insensible, and bleeding from two severe wounds upon the right side of the face; she continued in the same state of insensibility till about 11 o'clock, when she expired …
About an hour after the death of the young woman, the body was removed a few hundred yards into the bush by the father and brother of the deceased; the remainder of the tribe following by one at a time, until they had all joined what I imagined to be the usual funeral party. Having accompanied the body when it was removed, I was then requested to return to my tent, which request I took no notice of. In a few minutes I was again desired, rather sternly, and by impatient signs, to go. I endeavoured to make them understand that I wished to remain, and I sat down upon a tree close to where the body lay. The father of the deceased then came close up to me, and pointed with his finger to his mouth, and then to the dead body. I was at this moment closely and intensely scrutinized by the whole party. I at once guessed their meaning, and signified my intention to remain, and, with as much indifference as I could assume, stretched myself upon the tree, and narrowly watched their proceedings.
With a flint they made a small incision upon the breast, when a simultaneous shriek was given by the party, and the same violent signs of grief were again evinced. After a short time the operation was again commenced, and in a few minutes the body disembowelled.
The scene which now took place was of the most revolting description; horror-stricken and utterly disgusted, while obliged to preserve that equanimity of demeanour upon which I imagined the development of this tragedy to depend, I witnessed the most fearful scene of ferocious cannibalism.
The bowels and entire viscera having been disengaged from the body, were at first portioned out; but from the impatience of some of the women to get at the liver, a general scramble took place for it, and it was snatched in pieces, and, without the slightest process of cooking, was devoured with an eagerness and avidity, a keen, fiendish expression of impatience for more, from which scene, a memory too tenacious upon this subject will not allow me to escape; the kidneys and heart were in like manner immediately consumed, and as a climax to these revolting orgies, when the whole viscera were removed, a quantity of blood and serum which had collected in the cavity of the chest was eagerly collected in handsful [sic], and drunk by the old man who had dissected | 0.553779 | 1.813618 | 0.258754 | 0.930375 | [

the body; the flesh was entirely cut off the ribs and back, the arms and legs were wrenched and twisted from the shoulder and hip joints, and their teeth employed to dissever the reeking tendons, when they would not immediately yield to their impatience. The limbs were now doubled up and put aside in their baskets; and on putting a portion of the flesh upon a fire which had previously been lit, they seemed to remember that I was of the party; something was said to one of the women, who cut off a foot from the leg she had in her possession, and offered it to me; I thought it prudent to accept of it, and wrapping it in my handkerchief, and pointing to my tent they nodded assent, and I joyfully availed myself of their permission to retire. They shortly afterwards returned to their huts with the debris of the feast, and during the day, to the horror and annoyance of my two boys, and those belonging to the establishment, they brought another part, and some half-picked bones, and offered them to us. The head was struck off with a tomahawk and placed between hot stones in the hollow of a tree, where it has undergone a process of baking, and it is still left there otherwise untouched.
"I regret to state that I know of 44 non-Christian infants who have been killed by their mothers at birth, and one child even of four years of age who was killed and eaten by its mother: now the latter is a Christian. I always let the blacks know when I visit their camps that I am fond of their children, and offer them so much rice and flour for any infant they do not want." — Report of Father Nicholas, Parish Priest in Broome, in Royal Commission on the Condition of the Natives, Parliamentary Papers 5 of 1905, Perth.
"Since their baptism the missionaries are informed of many matters which were formerly never admitted. New-born children are frequently killed by their mothers—of twins the female, or if [of] one sex the weaker, also all the children who are feeble or cripples, and many bastards." (Report by Friedrich Krichauff, MP, on the Finke River Mission Station, in the South Australian Register, 1 July 1889.)
That cannibalism was widely practised by Australian Aborigines was a commonplace in virtually all accounts of their society down at least to the 1950s. As late as 1957, Frederick McCarthy, an eminent anthropologist and the Foundation Principal of the Australian Institute of Aboriginal Studies, could assert as a matter of fact in his Australian Aborigines: Their Life and Culture that "Cannibalism existed not only as a part of death and mourning rites, but also in the custom of infanticide."
By around 1970 or slightly later, however, such assertions were conspicuous by their absence from newly published accounts of Aboriginal society, with nothing said about cannibalism and infanticide. Anyone making such assertions would be condemned. A typical example of this may be found online, in a biographical account—by Lauren Gawne, posted in 2016 on something termed the "Dangerous Women Project"—of the career of Daisy Bates (1859–1951), who spent several decades living with outback Aborigines and wrote several well-known books and 270 newspaper articles on Aboriginal life. Dr Gawne was there described as "a linguist working on the documentation of linguistic diversity, particularly in Nepal", and is now Senior Lecturer in the Department of Languages and Linguistics at La Trobe University. According to her, Bates's "reports of cannibalism among the Aborigines of Australia were discredited during her lifetime, to her embarrassment … These stories of cannibalism illustrate Bates's slippery relationship with the truth. Julia Blackburn, in her very perceptive biography, is direct in her appraisal: 'Daisy Bates was a liar, of that I am sure'."
Speaking of liars, the situation since the 1970s has, as noted, changed utterly, and a wholly mendacious work like Bruce Pascoe's Dark Emu can be hailed as the gospel truth about pre-contact Aboriginal societies simply because it credits them—wholly falsely—with a structure which | 0.630481 | 1.713343 | 0.293311 | 0.966794 | [

has moved beyond the hunter-gatherer stage, a mode of development outgrown in the West several thousand years earlier.
Not only is criticism of the Aborigines now utterly taboo, but they are seen as embodying the highest of social values. For instance, another award-winning book, Bill Gammage's The Biggest Estate on Earth: How Aborigines Made Australia (2012) claims that they created "parks" and "estates" whose aesthetic sensibility was apparently very similar to that shown by Capability Brown when he laid out gardens for eighteenth-century English dukes and earls. The Aborigines demonstrated this remarkable artistic sense despite the fact that there was no equivalent of Blenheim and Althorp around which to set out these gardens: there was, in fact, not a single permanent building of any kind in pre-contact Australia.
The exaltation and veneration of the Aborigines is, blatantly, a new weapon by the Left to undermine the moral and political worth of mainstream Australian society and of the values of the West. It bears no relationship to the historical truth, and ought to be exposed relentlessly with truthful and accurate depictions of the nightmarish brutality of Aboriginal society, some of which has been explained in this essay, whose examples will surely be completely new to most readers, and which only scratch the surface of the actual facts.

A culture is a basket weave of many, almost countless, strands. It cannot hold together with a conveniently chosen few of them. It doesn't make sense to try to resurrect a culture that way.

For those interested in factual Australian and aboriginal history that appear being removed from libraries, who say they are just removing articles that may be confronting, however they are still available if you request them — how can you request something you do not know exists — then later it is totally removed sanitizing history into a belief that aboriginals were a peaceful race of environmentally caring people.

Australia owes a great deal to Quadrant for their published factual history and blunt reality — Good stuff.

gilmay97: Thanks for these references, mainly not known to me. I will try to use them in a book I hope to write on the awfulness of Aboriginal society, with an acknowledgment. Bill Rubinstein
Doubting Thomas says:
Ion Iddriess mentions aboriginal cannibalism in at least one of his books, "Nemarluk", iirc.
Roger Franklin says:
The hero of his 'The Red Chief' is also up for a nibble on someone else's liver
restt says:
Thanks so much for your excellent piece. There should but never will be a truth telling commission about Aboriginal society. As opposed to the rubbish going on in Victoria with there is a truth and treaty commission … their truth without consideration to facts and nothing about the Stone Age savage and brutal existence. A treaty 200 years too late with people that are not aboriginals anymore.
I have literally dozens of references to cannibalism amongst Aborigines in my notes :
For example, try from far north Queensland, Carl Lumholtz 1889, p273. Among Cannibals. Reprinted: Cambridge University Press, 2009. who also noted a particular preference for the Chinese …
"Mostly they preyed on other cannibal tribes, killing and eating men, women and children alike. White people didn't taste as good, they said, but the Chinese were delicious. "
And again from far north Queensland where Mr. H. B. Sheridan, Collector of Customs, Harbour Master, and Water Police Magistrate at Maryborough, while giving evidence to the Select Committee on the Native Police Force, Queensland, 1861, stated:
"126. Do you believe that they practise cannibalism at any time? — (Sheridan) I saw them have a man roasted for the purpose of eating him – I was told it was for the purpose of eating him – in the town of Maryborough. "
He then provided more explanatory information in a footnote to his evidence ….
"The man alluded to in this case was one of the men shot by the Native Police – was skinned, and was being roasted in the presence of white people, who did not or would not interfere, until I came there; even a constable told me that he did not consider it his duty to interfere, although he was aware of what was going on: this occurred within the town of Maryborough. "
Of more scientific consider this evidence from explorer and Queensland's Surveyor General, A. C. Gregory at the same Select Committee suggesting the availability of protein is important :
" 39. … ( Gregory) The character of the country, of course, influences their habits to a certain extent, and you will find it so in each particular district: where vegetable food is their principal diet, they are almost always cannibals; where animal food is their means of subsistence, they abhor cannibalism; … "
And demographic interest, as reported by Howitt (1904):
"In hard summers the new-born children were all eaten by the Kaura [Kaurna] tribe in the neighbourhood of Adelaide; this might be inferred from the remarkable gaps that appear in the ages of the children. "
But the most graphic description of cannibalism for the ghoulish that I have encountered comes from an incident at Lake Tarong, Port Philip District of Victoria as reported in the Victorian Parliamentary Papers on Australian Aborigines, published August, 1844. The report being a personal account written by Victorian Protector of Aborigines Sievewright. …
"With a flint they made an incision upon the breast, when a simultaneous shriek was given by the party, and the same violent signs of grief were again evinced. After a short time the operation was again commenced, and in a few minutes the body was disembowelled. …. " and so on
It takes the particular skill of the professional academic to fail to find these eye witness accounts from such difficult to access primary sources as government Select Committee Reports and Parliamentary Papers!
The most sad aspect of this today is not so much that the history of violation of human life, of children, of women, of almost anybody, | 0.081241 | 2.114444 | 0.467043 | 0.493345 | [

has been censored by removal from records leaving us with a completely false view of the source of curent Indigenous child neglect and personal violence. The fake invention of "intergenerational trauma from colonial racism" as the sole or dominant cause gives no clue to where a real remedy might be available for those who genuinely care, those who are subjected to knee-jerk accusations as white supremicist racists . The current progressive "protectors of Aborigines" have doomed them to a fate worst that the ealier policies under that same banner that were prompted in their day by genuine concern from a realistic view of the situation.
Lawriewal says:
Professor Pascoe surely should be asked for his comment on cannibalism in the 3 tribes he is a member of.
Ian MacKenzie says:
Similar story in New Zealand – considered impolite to mention it, but cannibalism was widespread prior to, and for sometime after, white settlement. The differences are that in NZ it was largely adults who were eaten, particularly warriors captured in battle in order to confer their status and power on the victors. Shrunken heads were also produced and used as decorations on huts. In Australia it seems to have been a purely practical matter, without the quasi-spiritual aspects seen in NZ. Perhaps this is why in NZ there are still resentments between tribes concerning who ate who, whereas there in Australia that doesn't seem to be the case. Presumably infants were expendable, much as the unborn appear to be today, but full grown warriors weren't.
NFriar says:
@Ian Mackenzie in Australia 'historians' such as Lyndall Ryan and Henry Reynolds are too busy creating 'massacres' of aborigines by whites.
@Katzenjammer I have long said the brutality to babies and women in remote communities is a hangover from their savage past – as though imbedded in their dna.
"The most sad aspect of this today is not so much that the history of violation of human life, of children, of women, of almost anybody, has been censored by removal from records leaving us with a completely false view of the source of curent Indigenous child neglect and personal violence. The fake invention of "intergenerational trauma from colonial racism" as the sole or dominant cause "
@gilmay97 thank you for the references.
Thankyou William D. Rubinstein and Quadrant for bringing these truths to us.

Thanks to everyone for their kind comments- I will take on board all the other accounts of Aboriginal cannibalism noted here. I plan next to write an article for Quadrant about the Aboriginal mistreatment of women, again from contemporary accounts. If anyone would like to send me any useful references, it would be best to contact me at my email: [email protected] (I still use my old UK email number, although I live in Melbourne.) I agree with NFriar above- the high rates today of Aboriginal family and domestic violence is plainly in part a hangover from pre-Contact Aboriginal society. This is omitted and expurgated from all of today's explanations for it- the white man is, of course, blamed instead. As noted I hope to write a book on this subject, setting out just how appalling pre-Contact Aboriginal society actually was.
The denial of the reality of Aboriginal life before the British arrived is a betrayal of the people who lived those lives. It is important to know all of their history, good and bad, to have any understanding of them. Surely?
saorsa660 says:
Robinson records in his Port Phillip diaries on 9th September 1839, some of the cannibalistic customs of the local Aborigines, that only the men eat the meat, everything except the head, while women 'smear their faces and their bodies with the blood of their victims'. Two days later on the 11th he recorded that a party of 'natives' had killed one man, one woman and a child and brought him some parcels of flesh as gifts, for which Robinson had rewarded them. A response led to a serious rift between Robinson and his Assistant Protectors.
abrogard says:
This is brilliant. Right now. In the current situation.. To have some unpopular truths boldly stated is really great | -0.145269 | 0.610316 | 0.086607 | 0.50375 | [

. Perhaps there's hope after all.
I've got a tiny contribution, maybe: in Bougainville nearly fifty years now I was told by the natives of eating 'long pig' and it being much fancied as a meat and practiced within memory of the teller.
W L Ranken says:
Thank you for this horrible and difficult article. Let us hope that more generational trauma will not be an outcome of the incomplete history being widely promulgated. What happens when an adult individual's view of their ancestor's place in the world, and in this case also when public opinion, together are built on censorship? No good will come of this.
Occidental says:
I am with everyone else here in extending my thanks for writing, and publishing of this informative article. In itself, it is worth the annual subscription.
cbattle1 says:
You are what you eat! Obviously the perfect food for a human is another human! We can gain so much knowledge and wisdom from the worlds oldest surviving culture!
Bernie Masters says:
The author's criticism of Bill Gammage's book suggests that he has not in fact read the book or, if he has, he has completely failed to understand what Gammage wrote. Nowhere in The Biggest Estate on Earth does Gammage imply or suggest that Aboriginal use of fire was designed to create " "parks" and "estates" whose aesthetic sensibility was apparently very similar to that shown by Capability Brown when he laid out gardens for eighteenth-century English dukes and earls." Instead, Gammage states quite clearly that such park-like 'estates' were a largely unintended consequence of the frequent burning of certain types of bushland which Aborigines used primarily to attract and hunt kangaroos.
To reply to the previous comment, I am also rather dubious about the success of Aboriginal burnoffs of grassland. Today, such burnoffs are heavily regulated in all states- I recall seeing a video by the WA government about this online- and no private person would be allowed to burn off grassland even on their property without jumping through hoops- this includes getting permission from the local council and the local fire department, having on hand an adequate supply of water and a hose, removing all flammable material, etc. etc. Obviously the Aborigines didn't do any of this- in particular they had presumably had no supply of water. There must therefore have been countless occasions when the fire got out of hand, and decimated the local tribe- which of course went unrecorded.
simonbenson65 says:
You would have thought that mistreatment and murder especially of women and children by any human, black or white, was an important matter to document particularly where it was happening in a routine, cultural way. It is intellectually dishonest to venture into an era of censored history where all the research is marshalled against one group whilst the crimes of another are airbrushed away from the researcher's grasp. If we are to have true reconciliation in Australia, rather than the "black armband" view of history holding sway, there is a real need for the crimes of both sides to be acknowledged so that the ensuing reconciliation is based on truth, not the skewed, left wing ravings of the "Aboriginal industry". If sunlight is the best antiseptic, if we are going to move forward honestly, then a Truth & Reconciliation Commission should be established & tasked with investigating the brutal history of black and white Australia alike. There will be fee surprises about what it will find. Paul summarised the whole of humanity a long time ago: "all have sinned and fallen short" (Romans 3:23). It will find out what Howard's 'Intervention' found out: black Australia is as rotten to the core as white Australia.
@wdr
Brilliant paper.
I shared to my history group on facebook – they were quick to note arrows held in one persons hand and an arrow imbedded in the chest of another.
We know aborigines did not have bows and arrows.
Why did you use this particular image as an illustration?
NFriar: Many thanks. I did not choose the illustration which was used above. I assume that it was chosen by an editor. I have never seen this illustration until it appeared here. Very good that you are sharing this with students. I hope others follow!
@WDR – thank you – it is an adult facebook group – many of us belong | 0.006252 | 0.049849 | 0.202006 | -0.23699 | [

We aim to maintain high standards in all that we do but recognise that we can sometimes get things wrong, despite our best intentions.
The Music for Schools Foundation views a complaint as an opportunity, as well as a chance, to put things right for the person making the complaint, and to improve and put right the service that the Music for Schools Foundation offers. We would not be able to do so or learn for the future if we did not receive feedback when things go wrong. Therefore we value and take seriously any feedback we receive.
Generally, the purpose of this Complaints Procedure is to resolve disputes informally without resorting to formal investigation or legal proceedings. We will try to explore every reasonable option to resolve complaints by working with the person making the complaint to agree an outcome which is satisfactory to them and the Music for Schools Foundation.
Whether your complaint is justified or not, our reply to you will describe the action we have taken to investigate the complaint, conclusions we have reached as a result of the investigation, and any action we have taken or are taking as a result of your complaint.
We will ensure that all information received and produced in connection with a complaint is treated as confidential and handled sensitively, that only those who need to know have access to that information, and that relevant data protection requirements are all met.
The information below sets out our Complaints Procedure.
A 'complaint' in this Procedure means any expression of dissatisfaction in relation to the Music for Schools Foundation that requires a response from the Music for Schools Foundation.
Complaints may come from users of the Music for Schools Foundation's services or any other person or organisation who has a legitimate interest in the Music for Schools Foundation.
This Procedure is only for the above type of external complaint, not for complaints or grievances from staff or others.
Whilst complainants are generally entitled to receive responses to a complaint and to challenge any responses received from the Music for Schools Foundation, it will not deal with complaints or challenges where in the reasonable opinion of the Chair of trustees they amount to persistent, habitual or vexatious complaints or challenges.
The Music for Schools Foundation expects any complainant to be polite and courteous. It will not tolerate aggressive, abusive or unreasonable behaviour or demands.
If you have a complaint you can contact us by phone, email, or letter.
Who you should contact within the Music for Schools Foundation will depend on how you to decide to make contact, and on who you wish to make a complaint about. We have indicated below who you can contact.
You can make a complaint by telephone or by speaking to us in person in any of the following ways, during office hours.
If your complaint is about any member of staff, volunteer or trustee, you can phone us on 0345 375 2466 and ask to speak to our Head of Service. They will either speak to you about the complaint or, if they are not the appropriate person to do so, they will arrange for the appropriate person to speak to you on the phone. Alternatively, you can speak (or arrange to speak) in person to the appropriate person about your complaint.
If you do not feel that you can approach any of the above verbally for any reason, you can instead write to us as follows.
Timescales for all First Stage complaints made by phone, in person or in writing.
Our acknowledgement will inform you of when we will next contact you either with a proposed resolution or update. It will also inform you of the name of the person dealing with your complaint. That person will then investigate and deal with it and then respond to you with their definitive reply.
You should receive that definitive reply within four weeks. If this is not possible because, for example, an investigation has not been fully completed, a progress report will be sent with an indication of when a full reply will be given.
If, for any reason, you are not happy with the resolution of your complaint under the First Stage procedure outlined above, you can bring this to our attention as follows.
PO Box 6018, Burton on Trent, Staffordshire, DE14 2WU.
Alternatively, please email Ali Wooding, Head of Service at [email protected].
Please set out clearly the details of the complaint, explaining why you were not satisfied with our response under the First Stage and what you would like us to do to put things right.
The Head of Service will send an acknowledgment within 5 working days and arrange | 0.001115 | -1.563508 | 0.942588 | -0.913996 | [

We cannot advise the administration of Skullcap, Valerian or a combination of these medicinal herbs around the time that a general anaesthetic is being given.
Herbs have been medicine and food for animals, since animal life emerged. Nature has always had its own medicines. With its abundant wisdom and generosity, it is hard to believe that Nature does not provide a cure for every ill, if only we could find it. Having originated in the same environment as plants, it is not surprising that animals have an inherent instinct for herbal medication of their health problems (zoopharmacognosy*), whether horses, dogs, cats, cattle, rabbits or other species. Early human peoples must also have possessed this natural instinct for herb treatment for their own medicine and ancient civilisations used herbs for themselves and for their animals, later refining their use into a complex medical tradition. Modern 'civilisation' and 'education' have seriously lessened the natural instinctive ability and capability in 'developed' nations but it is fortunate that many of the herbal traditions have survived, for our edification and benefit. In fact, many modern drugs have been derived from medicinal herbs, which was not a random process. Drug companies looked for medicines in the very plants that traditionalists used, confirming the wisdom of the lore handed down through generations.
Despite the fact that the modern Western medical establishment appears to like to relegate herbalism or herbal treatment to the status of 'folklore' or 'old wives' tales', herbs or derivatives from herbs form the basis of much of the modern conventional medical armoury. Unsurprisingly, while very willing to exploit the clear therapeutic benefits of herbs in this way, the pharmaceutical industry does not readily advertise the 'humble' herbal origins of its vaunted patented products!
Medicinal herbs contain a vast spread of pharmacologically-active ingredients and each herb has its own unique combination and properties. They are classified in modern herbal medicine or phytotherapy according to their spheres of action. Many herbs contain ingredients which provide the whole plant with several such actions, combined in the one medicine. Recognised actions include alterative, anodyne, anthelmintic, anti-catarrhal, anti-emetic, anti-inflammatory, antilithic, antibacterial, antifungal, antispasmodic, aperient/laxative, aromatic, astringent, bitter, cardiac, carminative, cathartic/purgative, cholagogue and anticholagogue, demulcent, diaphoretic, diuretic, ecbolic, emetic, emollient, expectorant, febrifuge, galactagogue, hepatic, hypnotic, nervine, rubefacient, sedative, sialogogue, soporific, stimulant, styptic, tonic, vesicant and vulnerary. A herb vet selects for treatment a herb with the required action or a careful combination of medicinal herbs with the desired properties (virtues – benefits).
Alternatively, herbal medicines may be classified according to the category of constituents in their composition. Constituents include acids, alcohols, alkaloids, anthraquinones, bitters, carbohydrates, cardiac glycosides, coumarins, flavones, flavonoid glycosides, phenols, saponins, tannins and volatile oils.
Herbal medicines are traditionally selected by a herbal vet (herb vet) according to the perceived needs of the patient and based upon the constituents of the individual herbs in relation to the above mentioned actions. Whether single herbs are used, or a combination of herbs is selected by the herb vet depends upon the spread of activity of each herb and whether or not it supplies the necessary spectrum of action in the body.
It is of fundamental importance in herbal medicine (phytotherapy) that plants should be identified correctly. They should be harvested from unpolluted areas, where possible and should, if cultured, be grown without the use of modern agro-chemicals. It is also arguable that, where possible, indigenous species should be used because they may prove more suited to the patient's constitution than exotic herbs. Herbal vet Chris is also concerned that we should avoid the use of threatened plant species and | 0.7606 | 1.247779 | 1.257082 | 1.128079 | [

to purchase from sources that do not plunder sensitive habitats.
Herbs can be used for dogs, cats, horses, ponies and many other animal species. Equines (whether horse, pony or donkey) respond particularly well. This has led to a recent explosion of commercial exploitation. More and more attractively packaged herbal products are appearing on the shelves of horse feed outlets, pet outlets and on the internet. However, there are few experienced herbal vets* in the UK, so safe and effective coordination in a holistic manner is not common. It is important to remember that herbs and conventional medicines can clash dangerously or can summate with a risk of serious overdose. Off-the-shelf herbal medicines can therefore be dangerous if there is no skilled professional herbal vet overseeing the entire input given to the patient. It is not uncommon to find mainstream vets disregarding concurrent herbal input, presumably considering it irrelevant, with obvious dangers to your animal.
*Herbal vets don't grow on trees but some important herbal medicines do! Take salicylic acid, for instance, harvested from willow bark to give us aspirin and the Hawthorn Berry (Crataegus) that is such an effective cardiac (heart) support. At the AVMC, however, we would give willow bark or meadow sweet (another plant that is rich in salicylate), in the raw state, in preference to the manufactured chemical extract. N.B.: Willow and Meadowsweet herbal medicines should not be given in conjunction with conventional NSAIDs and vice versa.
Traditional herbal medicine, whether Ayurvedic medicine, Indian herbs, Chinese herbs (Traditional Chinese Medicine – TCM), Western herbs, African herbs, Native North American herbal lore or other indigenous practice, is a holistic therapy and relies upon the whole plant, or defined portions of it. It does not presume to identify a single pharmacologically-active ingredient for isolated use.
Modern herbal medicine is drifting towards pharmacognosy, the science of defining specific supposed 'active' ingredients of herbs, then extracting and purifying them and using them in isolation. This is not holistic medicine and it is not, strictly speaking, herbal medicine (phytotherapy) and it carries inherent dangers, which do not attach to using whole plants. Herb vet Chris Day believes that the natural combination of ingredients of the whole plant tend to act in synergy and to balance each other in nature (a truly holistic concept), whereas man disturbs this holistic balance with his 'interference'. This is also happening in the veterinary herbal field and is a far cry from herbal medicine's holistic roots. Many products are now being marketed in this way, especially herbs for horses and herbs for dogs. Some nutraceutical products are also formulated with this rationale. Caveat emptor.
It is then but a small step to altering molecules, patenting them and making millions of pounds/dollars from a marketed drug, with even greater potential for side-effects (this is the essence of modern conventional drug medicine, which has clearly evolved from herbal medicine in this way). This is reductionism at work (as opposed to holistic principles), with the lure of massive profits potentially blurring the boundaries of common sense, science and safety.
Herbal vet medicine includes such amazingly effective agents as willow bark (providing salicylate, which is an Aspirin-like and very effective pain killer, at much lower doses than one might expect, when compared to Aspirin itself), Digitalis or foxglove (a remarkably effective heart drug, having action on all aspects of cardiac function), dandelion (an effective diuretic also providing copious potassium, which modern diuretics tend to drain from the body! – French name pis en lit) and periwinkle or Vinca (a predecessor of the potent cancer drug Vincristine).
In horses and ponies particularly, since they are classical herbivores, herbs provide a useful source of minerals and vitamins, in my opinion better than artificial sources. In this situation, we may describe herbs for horses as food, playing an important part in the nutrition of the animal. The boundary between food and medicine was never so blurred as in herbal lore.

ates is credited with saying "let food be thy medicine and medicine thy food". The distinction is not clear and there is no reason for it to be clear. We are, after all, thinking holistically. It is true to say, however, that herbs fall into various categories, some much more food-like than others and some much more medicine-like than others. It is the context, the motivation and the dosage which govern the rôle of the herb.
Herbal vet usage: conditions often treated with herbs, in dogs, cats, horses and other animals, sometimes in conjunction with other therapies, include: COPD, laminitis, digestive disturbance, diarrhoea, nervousness, arthritis, liver problems (hepatopathy), sinusitis, chronic cough, skin problems, respiratory problems, heart problems, hoof quality (hoof health) and kidney problems. At the AVMC, we also formulate herb mixes to accompany grass pastures or for winter time, to ensure availability of essential nutrients. Modern grassland management, whether supplying grazing or conserved forage (hay, haylage, grass nuts, dried grass), is not conducive to optimum horse health and well-being and supplying a variety of nutritious herbs can compensate for this to an extent.
Species treated by the herb vet at the AVMC include: horses, ponies, goats, donkeys, mules, cats, dogs, cattle, pigs, sheep, llamas, alpacas, buffalo, rabbits, ferrets, guinea pigs, lizards, terrapins, tortoises, snakes, raptors, poultry (domestic fowl), cage birds, budgies, canaries, budgerigars, parrots, parakeets, macaws, birds of prey (raptors).
A herb vet can also use some herbal preparations as food supplements, mainly for their nutritive benefits: e.g. various species of seaweed (e.g. kelp, wrack, bladderwrack, algae, chlorella), garlic and brewers yeast. At the AVMC, we advocate buying these as unadulterated 'straight' preparations, rather than in expensive packaged product form.
At the AVMC, we avoid brand wars and favouring one brand of herbal medicines over another but we advise using a manufacturing source with a deep tradition and with licensed products, rather than some more recent company with no experience, that has seen the marketing opportunity and leapt in with a range of herbal medicines with attractive packaging and seductive advertising and labelling.
In case it is helpful to clients, we do formulate off-the-shelf herbal mixtures, for general nutritional support, for arthritis, for laminitis, for respiratory problems, for hoof health and for other problems. Enquire at the office, if interested. This is a service for the benefit of current clients and patients.
Since finite doses of pharmacologically-active agents are being given in herbal medicine (herbal veterinary medicine), it is theoretically possible that dosing with many of the available herbal medicines would cause a horse or dog to fail competition 'dope' tests. There is also a definite risk of residues of phytotherapy in 'food animal' products, such as meat, milk or eggs. It is possible, furthermore, that herbs can 'summate', potentially dangerously, with conventional drugs that have been given for similar purposes. In addition, there is a risk of a clash with intercurrent conventional medication. An experienced herb vet should be aware of all these factors and be sensitive to them.
Many unlicensed herbal 'products' exist on the market, advertised with great vigour and containing quasi-legal, unsupported, medical claims, whether in the literature, on the label or in the name. The AVMC advises to avoid these. They are neither tailored to your animal nor integrated with the patient's other medication or food. No effort is made to ensure that they are used safely alongside any other medication, which is potentially very dangerous. They are sold more for profit than for medicine. No effort has been spent on supplying proof of efficacy, safety and quality (as required for a product licence), despite the claims or implied claims of efficacy and many of the companies have no proper herbal tradition.

With millions of records sold, hip-hop has a huge influence on the world, dictating fashion trends and fueling social change. Are you a new, budding rapper? As a new hip-hop artist, here are some hip-hop artists you can draw inspiration from. Take a look at these hip-hop artists who have played a hand in making hip-hop what it is today.
Instead of big houses, big cars, and big rings, Nas bases his happiness on making an impact. He established himself as one of New York's finest talents in his 1994 classic, Illmatic. With masterful rhymes, amazingly dense bars, and unfaltering delivery, Nas made it fashionable to be lyrical. Besides being an impressive rapper, Nas is also an agent of social consciousness. He has given financial aid to poor Africans with UNICEF, and is a big supporter of Save the Music and Common Ground Foundations.
In the 2000s, Eminem wasn't just the best-selling rapper — he also broke the record as the best-selling musician! Eminem has shown how hip-hop can dominate the mainstream in terms of both culture and profit. Although he often touched on uncomfortable subjects in his raps, he gave a voice to the darker side of American culture, and blazed a path ahead for future generations to follow in his pioneering footsteps.
Kendrick Lamar is a highly successful and influential rapper who reshaped contemporary hip-hop. In his 2015 album, To Pimp A Butterfly, Lamar brought the hip-hop scene back to old-school funk and soul. By experimenting with shifting tones, flows, vocals, and personas, Lamar brought in an era of deeply conceptual hip-hop. He also made an incredible social impact by using his mic to transform the streets. In the Black Lives Matter movement, his song, Alright, became a symbol of hope that calls for societal and political change. He's also one of Barack Obama's favorite rappers. How incredible is it to have one of the most powerful men in the world as your fan?
Tupac was a rapper, actor, and civil rights activist who believed in change. One of hip-hop's most iconic figures, Tupac unabashedly rapped about everything in the world around him, including toxic masculinity, poverty, and racism. His voice reached the global audience and he sold millions of records. Tupac redefined what a rapper could be. He helped kids to fulfill their dreams with Make-A-Wish Foundation, put together charity concerts, and helped to sponsor a youth football team. Despite having passed on at 25 years old, Tupac left a strong influence on the rap scene which can still be keenly felt today.
Throughout the last decade, Nicki Minaj dominated pop music, social politics, and fashion, making waves with her unique boldness and distinctive style. She repeatedly tore down barriers for female rappers, staring race and gender in the eye as she proved herself to be beyond boundaries. With amazing stage attire and well-delivered lyrics, Minaj is a huge commercial success as she appeals to the mainstream with her talent. She constantly dominates the Billboard 100, and is one of the highest charting female rappers.

Submarine terraces reveal Late Quaternary tectonic deformation in the intermediate zone between the island shelf and rift zone of the middle part of the Nanseishoto Islands, southwest Japan
Hideaki Goto ORCID: orcid.org/0000-0002-6083-35871
Late Quaternary tectonic deformation of coastal areas is usually examined based on the height distribution of paleo-shorelines observed on marine terraces. However, it is difficult to examine deformation along the subduction zone, in which small, isolated islands are distributed. In this paper, the author focuses on the widespread shallow submarine terraces surrounding the Iheya–Izena islands in the middle part of the Nanseishoto Islands, Southwest Japan, where crustal deformation is not known. The islands are located in the intermediate zone between island shelf uplifted during the Late Quaternary and the rift zone occurred to the northwest, along the Okinawa trough. Detailed topographic anaglyph images and maps of the islands were produced using a digital elevation model (DEM) of the seafloor, which is stored by the Japan Coast Guard (JCG) and the Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (AIST). Topographic anaglyph images enabled us to identify the widespread distribution and deformation of the shallow seafloor above − 200 m using red–cyan glasses. Four terrace-like features divided by small steps were found on the shallow seafloor, which are named T1, T2, T3, and T4, in descending order. Topographic expressions of paleo-shoreline depths are preserved on submarine terraces formed during the last glacial period. The paleo-shoreline depths of terraces T2 and T3 are − 60 m and − 70 m on the west side and − 70 m and − 80 m, respectively, on the east side of Iheyajima Island; this indicates southeastward tilting. The tilting ratio of T2 and T3 was calculated to approximately 1‰. The tilting rate is approximately 1 × 10–4/kyr, assuming that the T2 was formed in 10–11 kyr. This is much more rapid than that of the last inter-glacial marine terraces in the Muroto peninsula of Shikoku, Japan, with a tilting rate of 4 × 10–5/kyr, which formed by steep northward tilting against the Nankai subduction zone. The author suggests that this phenomenon is not related to mega-thrusting along the subduction zone, but rather to local deformation, probably caused by the reverse faulting of nearby active submarine faults along the west side of the islands.
Late Quaternary tectonic deformation of coastal areas is usually examined using height distribution of paleo-shorelines observed on marine terraces (Ota 1968; Nakata 1970). For example, in the outer zone of Southeast Japan along the Nankai trough, the northward tilting of paleo-shore lines on Pleistocene and Holocene terraces has been reported, and relationships between coseismic deformation caused by mega-thrusting along the trough and inter-seismic deformation have been discussed (Yoshikawa et al. 1964; Maemoku 1988). However, it remains difficult to examine deformation along the subduction zone, where small, isolated islands, such as the Nanseishoto Islands, are distributed.
Shallow-sea features, such as cliffs and terraces, can provide essential information regarding topographical evolution and crustal movement, since the development of submarine topography above − 120 m has become relevant for sea-level changes during the last glacial period, including the Last Glacial Maximum (Zecchin et al. 2015; Martinez-Martos et al. 2016; Casalbore et al. 2017; Yokoyama et al. 2018). Since the 2000s, digital elevation models (DEM) surveyed by multi-beam sound systems have been acquired, and tectonic geomorphological studies in coastal areas have substantially progressed (Matsumoto et al. 2009; Arai et | 0.477078 | 2.064306 | 1.079545 | 1.809638 | [

al. 2016). Active onshore faults in the outer zone of Southeast Japan were revealed to extend to the northwestward seafloor according to interpretation of coastal topographical maps and images of the Kikukawa fault (Ito and Izumi 2009; Sugiyama et al. 2010), the Nishiyama fault (Sato and Ito 2011), and the Tsujimiya fault on Yoronjima Island (Goto et al. 2018). Using examples from Santa Catalina Island near the San Andreas fault, Schumann et al. (2012) showed that the submerged terraces at depths greater than approximately − 90 to − 120 m can indicate crustal deformation.
Herein, the author focuses on the widespread shallow submarine terraces around the Iheya–Izena islands, which exhibit indistinct marine terraces in the middle part of the Nanseishoto Islands. The author examined height differences between paleo-shore lines and displacements of the submarine terrace based on coastal topography showing the seafloor DEM surveyed by multi-beam systems together with an onshore digital surface model (DSM) produced using aerial photography. The author demonstrates that the shallow seafloor topography surrounding these isolated, small islands preserves useful information for understanding tectonic deformation.
Tectonic setting
The Nanseishoto Islands are distributed in an arc-shape on the island shelf of the Ryukyu arc, which formed during the subduction of the Philippine Sea plate beneath the Eurasia plate along the Nanseishoto trench (Fig. 1). The Okinawa trough, parallel to the Nanseishoto Islands, is a back-arc basin developed as a result of continental lithospheric extension behind the Nanseishoto trench since the Middle-to-Late Miocene (Sibuet et al. 1987). EW to ENE trending grabens associated with rifting extend within the southwestern–middle region of the trough (Research Group for Active Faults in Japan 1991). Several active volcanos are aligned along the trough throughout the middle and northern regions (Geological Survey of Japan 2013).
Index map of the study area (A, B) and using data from this study (c). Shaded relief maps overlain by contour maps (A and B) use a 500 m mesh DEM (J-EGG500) from the Japanese Coast Guard (JCG), a 1-degree mesh DEM (ETOPO 1) provided by the National Center for Environmental Information (USA), and inland SRTM-3 data provided by the US Geological Survey (USGS). Red lines in B indicate active fault lines identified by the Research Group for Active Faults in Japan (1991), Arai et al. (2015), Goto et al. (2018), and Honza et al. (1977). C-1: 0.65-s-mesh DEM of Sato et al. (2013) and onshore SRTM-3 data provided by the USGS, C-2: 1.44-s-mesh DEM of Yasuhara (2013) and C-1, C-3: 2.03-s-mesh DEM data from the Darwin website of the Japan Agency for Marine-Earth Science and Technology (JAMSTEC) and C-2, C-4: 2.08-s-mesh DEM produced from the contour lines on the chart of the Japan Hydrographic Association and C-3, C-5: 9.69-s-mesh DEM of the J-EGG500 from JCG and C-4
In the middle part of the Nanseishoto Islands, the islands of Tokunoshima, Okinoerabu-jima, and Yoronjima are distributed on the island shelf, between the Amami-Oshima and Okinawa islands (Fig. 1B). The Iheya–Izena islands, including Iheyajima, Gushikawajima, Izenajima, and Yanahajima extend approximately 30 km northeast of Okinawajima and Yoronjima islands.

along the Iheya–Izena islands, as well as on the island shelf. However, the islands of the island shelf, such as the Yoronjima and Okinoerabu-jima islands, were deposited on top of the coral marine terraces, whereas indistinct, low, small marine terraces occur on the Iheya–Izena islands. Furthermore, approximately 50 km off the northwest coast of the Iheya–Izena islands, ENE trending active normal faults and thermal springs related to rifting have been observed at the seafloor (Research Group for Active Faults in Japan 1991). These features suggest that the Iheya–Izena islands are located in the intermediate zone between the island shelf and the rift zone of the middle part of the Nanseishoto Islands.
Active tectonics between the Nanseishoto trench and Okinawa trough have received limited attention because the isolated islands in this region are widely distributed, and geodetic stations on these islands are located at irregular intervals. While the plate model between the Eurasian and Philippine sea plates along the Ryukyu arc estimated a high subduction rate (60–80 mm/year) (Miyazaki and Heki 2001), the coupling of the plate boundary is extremely weak (Sagiya 2004) or with less than 10% (Watanabe and Tabei 2004) and tensional strain is dominant with perpendicular axis to the trench in the vicinity of Okinawa Island (Nakamura and Kawashima 2000). Moreover, the seafloor crustal deformation to the southeast off the Okinawa Island was recognized only in a limited zone near the trench axis at slab depth ranging from 13 km up to the seafloor based on the GNSS observation (Tadokoro et al. 2018).
Previous studies of active faulting during the Late Pleistocene have noted several small active fault strands cutting marine terraces on the island shelves of the islands of Tokunoshima, Okinoerabu-jima, and Yoronjima (Research Group for Active Faults in Japan 1991); however, there are as yet no reports of active faulting around the Iheyajima and Izenajima islands. This may be because certain areas of the islands and terraces have limited exposure, and there is a lack of detailed topographic data.
The Yoron basin to the east of the Iheya–Izena islands is thought to be a half-graben, leading to the hypothesis that cliffs were taller than 500 m on the eastern side of the Yoron basin were normal fault scarps (Arai et al. 2018). On the other hand, Pleistocene marine terraces and seafloor to the north of Yoronjima Island exhibit anticlinal deformation with an axis extending parallel to the general trend of the island shelf (Goto et al. 2018); this suggests a need for the re-examination of active tectonics based on the tectonic geomorphology of the onshore and seafloor regions.
No study has been conducted for the Late Pleistocene deformation of Iheyajima Island, although normal faults are estimated to extend along the cliff off the west coast of Iheyajima Island (Arai et al. 2015). It is challenging to observe deformation around Iheyajima Island because this NE-trending narrow island has a maximum width of only 3 km. Therefore, the author focuses on analyzing the widespread submarine terraces around the Iheya–Izena islands as a tool to examine crustal deformation in the intermediate zone between the island shelf and the rift zone.
Method and materials
Collecting and processing seafloor DEM
The author collected data for the seafloor DEM from several organizations and researchers. The Japan Coast Guard (JCG) conducted a multi-beam survey (MBS) along the shallow seafloor off the northwestern coast of Okinawa Island from 2008 to 2012 (Yasuhara 2013) (Fig. 1C). The National Institute of AIST also obtained the DEM of the deep seafloor by MBS around the middle part of the Nanseishoto Islands in 2012 ( | 0.089459 | 1.720505 | 0.562152 | 1.62234 | [

Sato et al. 2013). Using these data from JCG and AIST, the author generated 1.44-s-mesh (approximately 44 m) data of seafloor DEMs from the JCG dataset and 0.65-s-mesh (approximately 20 m) from the AIST dataset.
JAMSTEC (2020) stored and disseminated information regarding rock and sediment core samples, as well as the results of the MBS on their website, "Data and Sample Research System for Whole Cruise Information in JAMSTEC (Darwin)". The author retrieved these data from the JAMSTEC website and generated 2.03-s-mesh (approximately 63 m) data of seafloor DEM.
The author reprocessed the 2.08-s-mesh (approximately 64 m) DEM using digital bathymetric charts (M7020) with 1–2 m interval counters proposed by the Japan Hydrographic Association (JHA) following the methods of Goto (2013) and combined these DEMs with the 9.69-s-mesh (approximately 300 m) DEM (J-EGG500) published by the JCG. DEMs were overlapped according to their decreasing resolutions (Fig. 1C).
Producing topographical anaglyph
The author imported seafloor DEMs and the 30-m-mesh ALOS DSM into Simple DEM Viewer® in order to produce topographic anaglyph images (Fig. 2A). When topographic anaglyph images are viewed using red–cyan glasses, topographic relief features can be easily identified (Goto 2016). Anaglyphs produced using DEM data are effective tools from which to identify tectonic geomorphic features, such as small fault scarps, broad ground deformation, and tilting surfaces over extensive areas (Goto 2018; Goto et al. 2017). In this study, the author produced an anaglyph map overlapped onto the black and white slope shading base map as well as contour lines indicating water depth.
Topography in and around the Iheya–Izena islands. A Topographic anaglyph with contour lines. Black contour lines on anaglyph indicate − 50 m, − 80 m and − 120 m, respectively. B Distribution of submarine terraces and active faults. Arrows and red dashed lines indicate active fault scarps and the base of convex slopes deformed according to the basin surface, respectively. Black dashed lines show the locations of the topographical profiles shown in Figs. 4a and 5a. WSIS: west slope of Iheya–Izena islands named in this paper
Producing the onshore DSM
The author identified several strands of fault scarps in Izenajima Island by the interpretation of vintage aerial photographs. However, topography in the island was significantly changed after the 1980s. The previous topographies, e.g., terraces and small scarps, are not visible on the map using the 10-m mesh DEM of the Geospatial Information Authority of Japan (GSI), which is the highest resolution publicly available data created from the contours of the present topography.
The software used adopted SfM (Structure from Motion)-MVS (Multi-View Stereo) technology, such as Agisoft PhotoScan ®, enabling the creation of topographical models using aerial photographs and geographical coordinates as ground control points (GCPs). The topographies of partially destroyed, large, square, flat cultivated fields throughout Iheyajima Island are visible in the oldest existing large-scale color photographs, aerial photographs taken during the 1970s. Thus, the author adapted vintage colored GSI (COK-77-1) photographs taken in 1977 at a scale of approximately 1:10,000, and longitude and latitude information from points on the ground matched with a topographical map at a scale of 1:10,000 (Geographical Survey Institute of Japan); this information was processed using PhotoScan Professional Edition® version 1.2.6, following the methods of Goto (2015) and Goto et al. (2018). This enabled us | 0.068572 | 1.434005 | 0.993313 | 1.247742 | [

to generate a 0.12-s-mesh (approximately 3 m) onshore DSM (Fig. 3). To evaluate the precision of the constructed map, the author obtained the present longitude and latitude information at unalterable points such as undestroyed agricultural land edges and street intersections, using GNSS (Spectra Precision Promark 120) in the field. This device can obtain the position with an error of 5 mm in horizontal and 10 mm vertical by referring the electronic reference point of GSI.
Distribution of marine terraces and active faults in Izenajima Island. The topographical map is based on the DSM processed from aerial photographs taken in 1974
The GCP residual three-dimensional error was approximately 0.26 m. Validation using nine points demonstrated that this DSM exhibits a maximum root mean squared error (RMSE) of 0.67 m. The author observed no inclination or distortion in the model itself. This DSM is thus sufficiently accurate to classify the marine terraces and to measure the height of fault scarp.
Classification of submarine terraces
Around Iheya–Izena islands, the shallow seafloor above −200 m is parallel to the NW-trending islands approximately 10 km to the north and 20 km to the south (Fig. 2). Several terrace-like features divided by small steps are found on the shallow seafloor. The surface of the shallow seafloor may be divided into four terraces by means of the interpretation of the stereoscopic anaglyph image; these terraces are named T1, T2, T3, and T4, in descending order (Figs. 2B and 4).
Topographic profiles across the submarine terraces (a) and calculated vertical surface deformation (b). a Profile based on the DEM shown in Fig. 1C. The locations of the profiles used are shown in the lower right map and Fig. 2B. Downward open arrows indicate the boundaries of submarine terraces. b Vertical surface deformation across normal and reverse faults calculated by MICAP-G (Naito and Yoshikawa 1999), based on Okada (1992)
The surface of T2 distributed at depths between − 50 m and − 80 m is the most prominent, with a maximum width of approximately 3 km; it surrounds the Iheya–Izena islands, with the exception of the northeastern part. The surface of T2 is bounded on T3 by a continuous steep slope with a height of < 10 m. The surface of T2 is relatively flat compared with modern coral reefs; however, it is characterized by topographic features, including small mounts distributed along the outer margin of the surface and a shallow depression along its inner edge. The upper heights of T2 at the west and east of Iheyajima Island are − 60 m and − 70 m, respectively (Fig. 4).
The T1 terrace is bounded on its inner edge by the indented foot of modern coral reefs at depths of approximately − 20 m. The outer margin of T1 extends intermittently around the islands. The top of this terrace reaches up to approximately − 30 m in depth and has an uneven surface. Thus, the distribution of T1 is challenging to identify. A slightly higher area among the uneven surfaces was observed along the outer margin of T1, as is typically observed at the western side of the islands. This topographical feature is similar to that seen in both T2 and the modern coral reef, suggesting that both reflect submarine coral reefs, as mentioned in preliminary reports (Yasuhara 2013).
T3 is distributed at depths between − 70 m and − 90 m, and is gently inclined toward the deep sea. It is bounded by approximately 10-m-high scarps to the east and west. Its surface is generally flat, with a few small steps such that its surface features are different from those of T1 and T2; this suggests that T3 is an erosional surface, not a submarine coral reef. The inner edges of this terrace are observed at depths of approximately − 70 m in the shallow western area and − 80 m in the east, respectively.
T4 is distributed below − 100 | 0.032447 | 1.53428 | 0.770124 | 1.190512 | [

m and is clearly observed to the east of Iheyajima Island. Its surface has a width of less than 1 km and is gently inclined to the east. Small fragments of terraces below − 100 m remain to the west and southwest, and a well-defined step between T3 and T4 has not been recognized in the northeast, i.e., these remnants cannot be correlated to T4.
Active fault scarp on the submarine terraces and on the island of Iheyajima Island
Several active fault scarps displacing submarine terraces and onshore marine terraces are observed around Izenajima and Yanahajima islands on the anaglyph map produced in this study (Fig. 2). These NW-trending scarps are divided into two groups, named for the Izena fault zone and the Yanaha fault zone, respectively.
The Izena fault zone is composed of two strands, termed FI-N for the north and FI-S for the south (Fig. 2B). These extend from Izenajima Island to the T1, T2, and T3 submarine terraces and into the Yoron basin. Northward-facing scarps are distributed with southward convex shapes in map view. Distinct fault scarps appear on terrace T2 with a height of approximately 15 m, along the foot of which small narrow depressions are identified (Fig. 5a). Such topographic features are commonly observed along normal faults.
Topographic profiles across the Izenajima fault zone. a Profile based on the DEM shown in Fig. 1C. b, c Profile based on the onshore DSM processed in this study. The locations of these profiles are shown in Figs. 2 and 3
Three steps of marine terraces are identified on Izenajima Island according to the interpretation of topographic anaglyph from the detailed DSM; these are named for TI-1, TI-2, and TI-3, in descending order (Figs. 3 and 5b). Rounded or sub-rounded gravel beds with a thickness of 5 m or less were observed beneath these terrace surfaces (Ujiie 2000), suggesting that they represent erosional marine surfaces. Fault scarps of FI-N, of approximately 10 m height, are present on TI-2 and TI-3 terraces (Fig. 5c). The fault scarps of FI-S extending along the northeastern side of the NW-trending central mountain with a height of 15 m on TI-2 are not distinct from submarine fault scarps on terrace T2 (Fig. 5a and b). The fault scarp heights on land are almost the same as that on the seafloor, so it may be suggested that these faults have started to move in recent geological time.
The Yanaha fault zone, with a length of 20 km, is composed of two strands, named FY-N and FY-S (Fig. 2B). FY-N scarps, which face southward, are parallel to FY-S scarps facing northward, forming the narrow shallow graben in the middle part of the Yanaha fault zone. FY-N scarps are approximately 30 m high on terraces T2 and T3, and are not linear, but rather indented. The FY-S scarp on terrace T2 has a height of < 10 m, and is also indented. The inner terrace edge of T3 does not have a lateral offset along this fault, suggesting that the Yanaha fault zone is characterized by normal faulting.
The Yahanajima Island, an uninhabited island, displayed L-shape in map view and formed by an uplifted coral reef (Ujiie 2000). The linear structure may be observed from the modern coral reef to the furthest extension of the northern foot of the WNW trending tableland in the south of the Yanahajima Island in aerial photographs, suggesting that it is displaced by FY-S (Fig. 2).
Depth distribution of Paleo-shoreline on the submarine terrace
Paleo-shoreline depths were preserved in the topography of the submarine terraces during the last glacial period related to isostatic change (Yokoyama et al. 2018). Since both the T1 and T2 terraces were formed as a coral reef, the | -0.042885 | 1.673949 | 0.511428 | 1.367405 | [

depth of the reef crest indicates the paleo-sea level at the time of terrace formation. The reef crest depth on T1, which is distributed over a limited area, does not significantly differ throughout its distribution.
On the other hand, the reef crest depth is − 60 m on the west side and − 70 m on the east side of Iheyajima Island (Figs. 2B and 4a), where distinct terrace surfaces are developed, indicating southeastward tilting. The shallow inner edges of T3 exist at a depth of − 70 m at the west and − 80 m at the east (Figs. 2B and 4a), with the exception of areas in which active faults are distributed. This also indicates southeastward tilting. The depth of the submarine terrace surfaces was displaced by these active faults, as mentioned above, for example, the inner edge of T3 was clearly offset vertically with a height of approximately 30 m along FY-N.
Discussion and conclusion
The paleo-shoreline of submarine terraces T2 and T3 reveal that the shallow area around the Iheya–Izena islands tilted southeastward. Although Late Pleistocene marine terraces are distributed throughout these islands (Koike and Machida 2001), the crustal deformation of the region has not previously been known, primarily because the islands are too small to detect such motions, and since they extend NE, i.e., perpendicular to the tilting direction.
The gentle seaward platforms in the Nanseishoto Islands have often been observed from the inner break (IB) to the outer break (OB) at depths of 50–55 m, and are estimated to have formed around 10–11 kyr before the present (Hori and Kayane 2000). These topographical features and timing are concordant with the submarine coral reef in the Great Barrier Reef that fringe the Australian continent (Webster et al. 2018). These platforms are correlated to T2 in the present study, based on their distributed depth and topographical features.
Using the measured paleo-shoreline measured in this study, the tilting ratio of T2 and T3 around Iheyajima Island is calculated to approximately 1‰ (Fig. 4a). The tilting rate is determined to be approximately 1 × 10–4/kyr, assuming that T2 formed around 10–11 kyr before the present (Hori and Kayane 2000). This is considerably faster than the tilting rates of the last inter-glacial marine terraces in the Muroto peninsula, for which the corresponding rates are 4 × 10–5/kyr, and exhibit steep northward tilting trends against the Nankai subduction zone caused by the mega-thrust (Yoshikawa et al. 1964). The author suggests that this is not related to the mega-thrust along the subduction, but rather to local deformation, probably caused by the nearby active fault.
The active submarine faults extend along the west of the island shelf, up to 25 km away from the shallow area (Arai et al. 2018; Goto et al. 2018) (Fig. 1B). The movement of these faults cannot explain the observed southeastward tilting due to the long distances involved. The NE-trending steep slope named West Slope of Iheya–Izena islands (WSIS) reaches the northwest basin of the shallow area with a depth of − 400 m (Fig. 2), and is exposed along the western margin of the shallow area, which is estimated to have formed by normal faulting (Arai et al. 2015). However, such rapid tilting rates have not been reported on the foot wall side of the normal fault.
On the other hand, convex slopes (Figs. 2 and 4a) observed on the seafloor along the foot of the steep slope (WSIS) seem to deform following the depositional surfaces of the sea basin, and exist within 3 km of the steep slope in the north and within 7 km of that in the south. Such convex and steeply inclined depositional surfaces are often observed at the side of the reverse fault hanging wall along the foot of inland mountains (Kaneda et al. | 0.293541 | 1.720505 | 0.759979 | 1.695178 | [

2008). The rapid rate of tilting, with more than 10-km-long wavelengths, can potentially be explained if the reverse fault is extended along the convex slope. Emergent coral reefs with an elevation of + 0.8 m to + 0.9 m formed in approximately 5000–3500 years BP are continuously distributed only along the northwestern coast of Iheyajima Island for about 1.5 km (Fig. 2B) (Pirazzoli and Koba 1989; Kawana 2001), and are concordant with the distribution of the convex slope.
These deformations and the distribution and style of active faults, including the FY and FI fault zone, can possibly be explained if the horizontal compressive stress axis with the time scale of Late Quaternary is perpendicular to the shallow area studied oriented NW–SE, suggesting a similar stress environment throughout the island shelf; however, geodetic studies (Tadokoro et al. 2018) and geophysical investigations (Arai et al. 2018) suggest that this area is under the tensional stress field related to the Okinawa Trough. Taken together, these results show that shallow seafloor topography can preserve valuable information for understanding tectonic deformation, especially in isolated, small islands.
The datasets generated and analyzed during the current study are not publicly available due to the policy of the organization that obtained the datasets.

Excellent result for 2015.
The Sedus Stoll Group records a 13.3% increase in sales
The Sedus Stoll Group records a 13.3% increase in sales and an excellent result for 2015. The Sedus Stoll Group concluded the year 2015 with exceptional gains in incoming orders (+ 10.8%), sales (+13.3%) and net income for the year (EUR 10.9 million)
With a successful first quarter, the start in 2016 was also very promising.
In addition to favourable economic framework conditions both in Germany and abroad, accompanied by a 6.9% growth in the office furniture market, one of the decisive factors for this positive development was a significant increase in orders and sales abroad, in particular in the modular furniture sector.
The divisions of the Sedus Stoll Group in detail
The Sedus Seating product segment (office seating, communication and contract furniture) recorded a total increase in incoming orders of 9.6% in the year-on-year comparison. In Germany, a growth of 4.9% was recorded, compared to a more significant increase of a total of 16.3% abroad. The ensuing increases in sales were 3.0% in Germany and a total of 20.5% abroad.
Especially the Sedus Systems office furniture segment underwent a very positive development. Incoming orders went up by a total of 17.9%, whereas the rise in Germany was 8.6% and 34.1% abroad. In France, we managed to increase incoming orders by 116.2%. The growth in sales totalled 22.8%, breaking down to 8.3% in Germany and 49.5% abroad.
Overall, the business development of Klöber was not quite as positive. While in Germany a slight growth of 1.6% in incoming orders was recorded, Klöber suffered a sharp decline of 21.0% abroad. Sales figures developed accordingly.
New products and success factors
The novel products "turn around", "on spot", "sopha" and "mastermind" also contributed to the successful development of the Sedus company, founded in 1871. With these well-conceived products, with their superior character and innovative details, the company is able to meet the increasing demand for communication furniture.
Many awards and nominations at international design awards confirm the design competence of the Sedus brand; these include the Interior Innovation Award 2015 Selection for the successful product "turn around". Sedus is the six-time winner of the highly coveted German Design Award and a five-time iF Design Award winner.
The website of the Sedus brand, with its new look and clear structure, supports the successful market launch and adapts to the terminal used.
In sales, the implementation of the international key account was quite successful. Customers increasingly appreciate Sedus as a competent full-range supplier, and are now able to meet the demands of their decentralised corporate structures with centralized procurement processes on an international level.
In the year-on-year comparison, the Sedus Stoll Group concluded the first quarter 2016 with a 4.2% increase in incoming orders, by far exceeding expectations. Accordingly, sales saw a rise of 6.6%. The result was also positive and above plan.
Despite the numerous political and – in particular on an international level – economic uncertainties, the board of directors expects the positive business development to continue in 2016 based on the still favourable economic framework conditions and on the measures implemented in all corporate divisions for the expansion of the market position and for the improvement of the cost position.
The Sedus Stoll Group consistently pledges itself to Germany as a production site. We will start making considerable investments in the restauration and refurbishment of buildings in 2016 in order to be able to guarantee more optimisation in the flow of materials, the production processes and the administrative sections. That way, we secure the company sites in Germany for the long term.

I had the chance opportunity of a lifetime while in San Diego. No I didn't go swim with sharks.
If I believed in stars aligning to correct coordinates causing unbelievable things to happen I'd say the stars, planets, and moons were all in perfect order. But I don't, so I'll just say what I've uttered over and over it was totally God.
I literally Googled my way into Alece's life. Literally. I was looking for an image for this blog post when I found an image on her site among the images Google returned. I was drawn to her like I am to latte's and cupcakes. From there she only continued to make a huge impact on my life.
The thing is, I never imagined we'd meet. She lives in South Africa y'all. That's like…yeah very far away. And when she's not in SA, she's living it up in Atlanta which seems just as far away from this Arizona bound lady. Short of God taking me on a mission trip to SA, I just didn't think we'd ever look at each other face to face. Then I saw it. A tweet from this lovely lady. "@gritandglory when will you be in San Diego?" Shawn and I were on our way to dinner and I flipped. I immediately DM'd Alece. And wouldn't you know………our time in San Diego overlapped one evening. Heidi, Alece, and I set on a course to meet up.
Heidi & Alece were the first tweeple/bloggers I've met. Tam, Jenni, & Sarah had the pleasure of spending a week (or more) with Miss Alece so we had to fit a week's worth of fun into a few hours. So we hopped on a wagon and got to it.
Shawn did an excellent job of capturing the sincere heart-felt moments between the three of us.
We discovered Alece's deepest fear that she'll have to become a wrestler to raise money for Thrive Africa if people don't start giving to 10 Buck Tuesday. Give people, I don't think the mask suits her.
Shawn and I both commented though, that our favorite part of the evening was spent in a little Italian cafe in the heart of Little Italy. Over coffee and dessert we heard and shared passions. I'd only been following Heidi a short while so it was great to hear straight from her, about her and her life. Being a mom to three kids and the daughter of a elected government official. Hearing straight from Alece's heart, her love and deep, deep passions for Africa – while I sat immediately across from her. My love for these women grew that night. No pictures were taken during those last moments but my mind and heart are filled with images that could never be captured by a camera, and will last a lifetime. Or until I start losing my memory.
what a fabulous post! i am beyond thrilled you got to meet these ladies. ive not met heidi yet...but i know she has a huge heart! having spent a couple weeks with alece i can honestly say...ive never met anyone quite like her. she stands alone. as she should. you know the phrase, "cant hold a candle to (insert name)" yeah...thats what i think of when i think about alece. the last two years of her life would have driven most to depression. most might have given up and walked out by now. but she keeps runnin on. there is a passion in her that can not be put out. and i dont think she will ever let any one snuff it. im simply proud of her. and i admire her a great deal. and seriously...what are the odds of you actually being able to meet these two wonderful women? that is crazy in my minds way of thinking...but God is so loving and loves to give good gifts to His kiddos! im so glad you had this opportunity!
I agree. Since joining Twitter and starting to read blogs there have been a few women that have challenged me and and touched my life and my faith. Alece is one of those.
i think it DID drive me to depression... but, by the grace of God, i'm still crawling my way forward. or at least...trying to. i love you, tam. thank you for your beautiful words -- felt like a huge hug for my heart.
i am so glad those stars/planets/moons aligned, because i had a blast with you land | 1.074256 | -0.949322 | -0.758437 | -1.618968 | [

Born in the country of Nepal, Asia, Aiti Rai, along with her six siblings, were raised by both her parents within a Bhutanese refugee camp. Consequently, due to the rising levels of violence and persecution at the hands of the Bhutanese government, members of an ethnic minority population living in southern Bhutan were forced to flee their homes. Denied their rights to citizenship due to religious and cultural differences, the group eventually sought protection with the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) through established refugee camps in Nepal.
After several failed discussions aimed at repatriating the refugees to Bhutan, most of the refugees have now been resettled to other international destinations with the help of the UNHCR and the International Organization for Migration. With the help of these two organizations, Aiti and her family were able to relocate to the United States. Since the age of sixteen, Aiti and her family have resided within the City of Hartford.
Aiti is a proud resident of Hartford, Connecticut. As she praises the liveliness of the community she also acknowledges and expresses sincere gratitude to the many resources that have helped her and her family. Aiti is very appreciative of her current successes and accomplishments. She makes a point in being able to graduate high school as a salutatorian, attending college, having employment, and maintain an internship at the Legislative Office Building. "The life I lived back in the refugee camp (Nepal) is nothing compared to now," she said. She mentioned how lucky she was to live in Hartford especially coming from no electricity or running water back in her country of origin.
As a young girl she was inspired to become an advocate and voice for the vulnerable in her region. She always told her friends in Nepal to call her "wakil" not knowing that it would later mean "lawyer" or "attorney" in English. When she first came to America the translator for the doctor asked her, "What would you like to be when you grow up?" Aiti then asked in Nepalese, "What do you call the person who speaks for the community and helps with advocacy, a wakil?" The translator answered, "A lawyer or attorney." Her desires of becoming involved in legal matters remain and are heavily practiced now that she is interning with the Legislative Office Building. Aiti is now a student at Manchester Community College and will be graduating this May with her associates degree. Her plan is to then go onto a four year university, now she is currently undecided on which school she would like to attend, but she has an idea on what she would like to study. Ten years from now she sees herself working and assisting other refugees around the world.
• What is your theme song?
Aiti's response: "I'm Alive" by Celine Dion.
• What is one of your favorite summer memories?
• What have you lost that you'd like to find?
• What is your favorite family tradition?
Aiti's response: In September, we celebrate Tihar a family tradition from Nepal. It's a celebration between brothers and sisters and I have 6 siblings. During this time we cook food, buy gifts for our brothers and that day men don't cook. Sisters have to cook, clean themselves, and dress nice.
• What advice do you have for the children back in Nepal?
Aiti's response: I suggest that they read more books and learn the American culture. I encourage them to look for other opportunities, challenge themselves, and get involved.

also balancing her academic life; and has been working ever since. After graduating high school, her family moved back to Hartford, India was then accepted into the University of Connecticut (UCONN). Through her church and school, she has partaken in many community service projects and volunteer opportunities such as tutoring both Hartford and Buckley High students as well as caring for the elderly. She is an active intern with Connecticut Alliance for Basic Human Needs (CABHN) which provides community education, supports advocacy efforts, promotes legislative policies, and elevates the voices of people in poverty.
This spring, India will be graduating from UCONN with a Bachelor of Arts in English and a minor in Sociology. Post-graduation, she will be joining Literacy AmeriCorps in Palm Beach County, Florida to assist them with their mission of improving the quality of life within the community by promoting and achieving literacy. Sparked by the recent change in immigration laws within the United States, India hopes to continue her education by gaining a dual degree, earning a Master of Social Work and Juris Doctor, to become an Immigration Attorney.
• What are you freakishly good at?
India's response: Climbing a Tree – As an adolescent, India would commonly travel to Florida during the summer to visit with her grandmother. Every so often, her grandmother enjoyed cooking traditional Jamaican meals using the ackee from the ackee tree in her backyard. However, in order to retrieve the ackee for her grandmother, India had to teach herself how to climb the tree.
• What would you like to tell your 17-year-old self?
• Where was the last place you found unexpected beauty?
India's response: In Mexico – Homemade necklaces were sold by children in the streets of Cancun.
• What is the best way to spend a rainy weekend?
• What life experience has strengthened you most?
India's response: First experience of being exposed to advocacy – At an early age, India's mother brought her to a strike line for her employer. With this experience, she first witnessed the strategy and execution of implementing a strike, along with the potential impact it has to affect change.
Shortly after she was born in Hartford, Connecticut, Sequoya Patterson, at the age of three-years-old, moved to New Orleans, Louisiana where she was raised with both her parents and younger sister. Coming from a very diverse background, her father is originally from Saint Mary Parish, Jamaica, and mother from New Orleans, Louisiana. As a result of one of the most notoriously known natural disasters, Hurricane Katrina, Sequoya and her family relocated to Bloomfield, Connecticut, where she completed her eighth-grade year at Carmen Arace Middle School.
Following her father's legacy, Sequoya attended Northwest Catholic (NWC) High School. All throughout high school, she was involved in a number of clubs and activities such as the Student Council, Black History Club, cheerleading and indoor/outdoor track and field. Alongside her school and church, Sequoya has been an active member of the community, volunteering in a variety of settings such as soup kitchens, nursing homes, juvenile detention centers and more.
After graduating from Northwest Catholic, Sequoya was accepted to Bowie State University (BSU), a Historically Black College and University (HBCU) located in Maryland. Throughout undergrad, Sequoya played a very active role on and off campus. She held several leadership positions within the Student Government Association (SGA), where she represented, served and advocated for students while enhancing the interests and goals of the university. Sequoya later earned a Bachelor of Arts in Sociology, concentrating in Criminal Justice and Spanish. Post-graduation, her alma mater honored her with the "Alumna of the Year" Award for bringing such distinction to the university through her personal and professional achievement.
In pursuit of her passion, Sequoya has returned to Connecticut in hopes of earning a Master of Social Work in Community Organization with a dual degree as a Juris Doctor in Intellectual Property and Information Governance (MSW/JD) at the University of Connecticut (UCONN). She continues to reach out to the community in a variety of ways as an intern under Hartford Councilwoman, Wildaliz Bermudez. At her leisure, she enjo | 1.09891 | 0.818028 | 1.368677 | -0.363807 | [

Think you know your customer? Maybe not.
Every manager knows that happy customers mean better business. But despite decades of in-depth research, elaborate customer satisfaction monitoring systems, and extensive customer service support teams, managers still struggle to understand their customers' desires and needs, leading them to make misguided decisions that can hurt their business.
From misinterpreting data to undervaluing what drives purchasing decisions, our research shows managers get more wrong about customers than they get right.
Managers might want to think twice about how well they understand their customer. Even some highly confident managers don't understand all the levels and drivers of customer satisfaction.
In the aggregate and on average, the managers we surveyed significantly underestimated their customer's propensity to complain, and thereby failed to address the customer's complaints. Additionally, they overestimate their customers' satisfaction and loyalty while misunderstanding what drives both customer expectations and perceptions of value.
With the importance most companies place on customer feedback, how can these misunderstandings be so widespread? Managers should look to the type of feedback they're measuring, to start. Not all feedback is useful (no matter how pretty those 5 stars on Yelp appear).
For example, what does having a high average review score tell you about your customer? Many managers make the mistake of blissfully accepting a positive review, but either don't take the time or don't have the data to understand why the customer gave them a particular rating. When implementing customer feedback monitoring systems, managers should emphasize specifically catered feedback that will provide relevant insights into their product and service decisions.
Some managers aren't exposed to the data these systems collect.
Some managers receive the data, but they misinterpret and misunderstand it.
Both cases result in frustrated customers, falsely confident managers, and ultimately, the loss of business. Monitoring systems only work if managers have access and training to accurately interpret the data.
Additionally, to extract all the benefits from monitoring systems, managers should inspect the current extent and nature of their customer perception level to help minimize any manager-customer disconnects. This baseline will uncover the holes in understanding and facilitate more informed decisions to close them.
Once managers understand where lapses in data and interpretation are occurring, they can take corrective actions that make sense for their business, and ultimately, for their customers.
Understanding what your customer wants is the first step, but to truly bridge the gap in manager-customer misunderstanding, managers need to take it a step further. Beyond what your customer wants, why do they want what they do?
In many oversaturated and competitive markets, like retail, simply knowing what your customer wants isn't enough anymore. There are five, 10, even 100 other firms selling the same exact product or service for a better price. And yet, the more expensive option might sell better and produce more satisfied customers.
Why? Lower prices are not the deciding factor in winning over the customer. Instead, quality drives customer satisfaction and loyalty, along with perceived value and customer expectations. So before scrambling to stay competitive in the short-term by reducing prices, managers need to take the time to find out why the customer feedback says what it says.
Learn from Netflix's mistake. In 2011, Netflix CEO Reed Hastings pushed for a premature split between hard copy DVDs and the company's new streaming service — a move that resulted in 800,000 fewer subscribers and more than a 25 percent stock plummet. The split not only divided customers, but required them to pay for both services separately. Turns out, the new business model combined with the price increase was enough to warrant a "no" from the "Are you still watching?" prompt.
Hastings apologized a few weeks later, admitting he was overconfident in the push to streaming and assumed that the divide had already been presented to customers via feedback platforms (clearly, it had not), and that the price increase wouldn't come with backlash (wrong again).
Following this misinterpretation, Hastings made a swift recovery by focusing on why the remaining customers were interested in streaming services over DVDs, leading to an amazing comeback in 2012 that's held up through today.
Winning over customers is about more than implementing fancy monitoring systems and simply relying on the data without context; it's also about understanding the customer's desires and needs, and — | 1.416675 | 0.832353 | 2.271579 | 0.506352 | [

Document? Research paper? Voucher? One thing that would be convenient to have at home is a printer. Sure we go to the shop to have something printed, but with Sony, Canon, or Brother releasing great printers, why would we do that?
Owning our own printer not only saves us money but also time and energy. There are several types of printers to choose from, each catering to different needs, so we've prepared this guide to make sure you find the right printer.
There's more to choosing a printer than meets the eye, so read on to better understand.
There are two main types of printers that you're probably familiar with, inkjet and laser printers.
Inkjet printers are compact and highly versatile home-use printers. It accurately reproduces color when printing pictures or illustrations. Most inkjet printers are affordable, so you won't need to worry about breaking the bank.
But then let's not forget that you'll have to purchase ink cartridges for inkjet printers. It won't cost you a lot in the long run, but if you plan on printing a large volume, then we suggest the double-checking how much the cartridges will cost.
If you don't plan on printing frequently, we have to warn you that inkjet cartridges tend to dry up if not used. Inkjet printers are recommended for people who often print in small batches. If you don't plan on using your printer a lot, then a laser printer might be the better option.
Laser printers used to only be marketed for offices in the past, but now they're also available for at-home use. Text or images printed on a laser printer stand better against water too. The main unit is quite big will cost a lot, but they're ideal to purchase if you need to print in large quantities.
There are two types of laser printers: color and monochrome. Color laser printers can print both colored and black and white documents or pictures, while monochrome ones only print in black and white. So make sure you choose according to your needs.
If you mainly want to print pictures, we suggest getting an inkjet printer as they print better resolution photos. If you'll be printing a lot of documents and maybe need to print colored images now and then, you might want to invest in both a monochrome laser printer and an inkjet printer.
Some printers only print, while others do more. Some printers were specifically designed for printing pictures, while others aren't. Let's take a look at what extra features you might need.
As single function printers on print, these are the cheapest type to purchase. It's simple and easy to use; plus, it's considerably smaller than all-in-one printers.
Although no extra features are included, you can still print pictures, illustrations, etc. If you don't need a scanner, a fax, or a copier, then this is the printer for you.
Photo printers, as you probably already know, print photos. They're designed in a way that makes it possible for you to print pictures from your phone or camera even without a computer. These printers are usually small and portable, so they can only products postcard-sized 4″x6″ prints.
All-in-one or multifunction printers can copy, scan, or fax documents. They're popular because they can do more than print. Some recent models even allow you to print without the use of a computer, which makes them all the more convenient.
These printers tend to be bulky because of how much they can do, but they're all kind of a space saver since you wouldn't be needing a separate fax, copier, or scanner. Scanners are also handy in that you can easily save documents as PDF files. We recommend these for people who'll be needing to do more than just print.
Printer manufacturers have recently lowered the cost of their units, but let's not forget about the cartridges, which you'll have to replace when they run out of ink.
Monochrome printers will only need one cartridge, so you won't have much of an option. But for color inkjet printers, you'll need to choose between one that uses a single color cartridge and one that uses separate color cartridges.
Single color cartridges are mainly used for small photo printers, but some regular printers do carry them. They're easier to replace, but the problem is if | -0.252959 | -0.556279 | 0.564689 | -0.960171 | [

one color runs out, you'd have to replace the whole cartridge. This would be a disadvantage for people who print similarly colored documents or photos.
This can cost you more in the long run, but if you're not planning on using your printer heavily, then single color cartridges would be suitable and less of a hassle, especially for people who dislike having to replace a lot of cartridges.
The cartridges for each color are separated for multiple color cartridge printers. These make it more cost-effective since you'll only have to replace the color that has run out. You also wouldn't be wasting any ink in the process. These are recommended for people who print large batches in color.
Laser printers, on the other hand, use toners instead of the regular ink cartridge. It costs more, but it can print a whole lot more. This will save you money in the long run.
One more thing you'll have to replace in laser printers are drum units when it starts to malfunction. Drum units are responsible for holding the image that needs to be printed. So before buying a laser printer please make sure you've considered future costs as well.
The prices of ink cartridges will differ per manufacturer, so it will be important to compare the prices of cartridges. Manufacturers tend to make cheaper printers require expensive cartridges so be careful.
You'll also have to check how much the ink cartridge can print. Cheaper ones just might contain less ink, which will cost you more in the end.
Printer inks can be divided into two types: dye and pigment. Some printers only support one or the other while others are compatible with both.
Dye inks are water soluble. They're ideal for printing photographs, as the ink penetrates well into the paper producing vibrant colors and a glossy finish.
However, there is one disadvantage. Dye inks take longer to dry, and they aren't waterproof, so once your paper gets wet, your print will be ruined. Do take note that while pigment ink dries faster than dye ink, you still need to be careful not to touch both types of ink before allowing them to dry.
Pigment ink has large particles and doesn't penetrate into the paper. It only stays fixed on top of the paper. The advantage is that letters can clearly be printed making them ideal for documents. It also won't easily dissolve in water, so you won't have to worry about the letters getting smudged by a highlighter.
Although, when it comes to printing in color, you might be disappointed, as dye inks do much better in this regard. Pigment ink only printers are recommended for people who mainly need a printer for text documents.
If you'll be needing to print text documents, colored images, or maybe even image-heavy documents, don't worry because there are printers that are compatible with both types of ink. You can purchase black pigment ink and colored dye ink for your printer. You won't have to worry about your photos being dull or your documents getting ruined.
Do you tend to move around the house? Do you own a laptop instead of a computer or maybe you have both? Then maybe a Wi-Fi compatible printer is right for you. You won't need to connect or disconnect wires in order to print, and you'll be able to move freely around your house.
In case your Wi-Fi starts malfunctioning, don't worry since you can still opt to connect your computer using a cable to print.
Wondering what the best printers are on the market? Then you've come to the right place. We've compiled a list of the best printers you can get online in the Philippines for your perusal.
For those of you who don't really need to scan, copy, or fax documents, this affordable inkjet printer is for you. It can print black and white documents at 7.5ppm and colored ones at 5.5ppm. You'll only need to purchase two cartridges for this one too, a black and a tri-color one. It saves you the trouble of having to purchase multiple things.
Its paper tray can hold up to 60 sheets, which isn't a lot, but for people who don't need to print a lot of things, this is enough. It, however, doesn't support wireless printing, and you'll have to purchase a separate USB cable | -0.335825 | -0.509611 | 0.392224 | -0.861644 | [

This inkjet printer's high-resolution printing makes up for its not so fast printing. Producing 760 by 1440DPI black and white or colored prints would naturally take some time, right? To be exact it can churn out colored prints at 2.5ppm and black and white ones at 9ppm.
This printer uses instant-dry ink to ensure your prints are smudge, fade, and water resistant. You can also print your pictures wirelessly by connecting to the printer through Wi-Fi Direct which allows you to connect without a router.
This laser printer is perfect for individuals that work at home or maybe have a lot of school papers to print. It can dish out prints at up to 19ppm. However, it can't print on both sides of the paper.
It's also one of the smallest laser printers in the world, as it occupies a space that's slightly larger than an A4 paper. You can also easily connect to Wi-Fi or use the smartphone app to print wirelessly.
This heavy-duty printer is small enough to be used at home; it's just a bit pricey. Although, it does have a few convenient features that might be of interest. You can scan or copy up to 30 sheets with ease just by placing them in its ADF.
It supports Wi-Fi direct which allows you to connect up to 4 devices without the use of a router. It has a refillable ink tank system and low-cost ink bottles, so while the unit may cost a lot, it can save you money in the long run.
This all-in-one printer is perfect for people on a budget but still need the features of a copier, a scanner, and a fax machine. It's not a heavy-duty printer, but it should be enough if you're only using it for tickets, vouchers, and documents.
This printer also supports wireless printing, but it might be a bit complicated to set up. Sadly, it doesn't offer duplex printing, so you won't be able to print on both sides unless you manually flip the page.
This all-in-one inkjet printer is pretty compact. It's just around the size of two shoeboxes, but it can scan, copy, and fax. It also churns out black and white draft prints up to 33ppm. Unlike other printers in the market, it's easy to set up and install.
It also supports high-resolution printing with 5760DPI outputs. It's also capable of borderless printing up to A4 size. You can print via Wi-Fi, Google cloud print, or the Epson mobile app.
This all-in-one printer not only allows you to print, scan, and copy but also lets you design greeting cards and calendars with the filters in its application. Its quality printing produces sharp text and vibrant images.
It prints black and white documents at 9.5ppm and colored ones at 6.8ppm. Scanning will take around 20 seconds for a monochrome page and 26 seconds for a 300DPI colored page. You can print via Wi-Fi or through the smartphone app for convenience.
With the invention of the digital camera and smartphones, printing photos have become less of a need and more of a novelty. But sometimes it's still nice to see our photos on paper rather than social media. This compact photo printer allows us to do just that–without the hassle.
This portable photo printer allows us to easily connect our cameras, smartphones, or computer so that we can print wirelessly anywhere and anytime. You can buy a separate battery for it, so you wouldn't need to plug it in. It's small it can print postcard-sized photos.
This all-in-one laser printer can print out black and white documents at 30ppm. Printing speed is also adjustable if you'd prefer quieter but slower printing. It also has a paper tray that can hold up to 250 sheets, so you won't have to keep on feeding it paper.
Its toner cartridge can also produce up to 2,600 pages. We're sure it will be a while before you need to buy a new one. You can also save paper with its automatic duplex printing. Not only that but it can scan both sides on a page in one go too!

\section{Introduction} \label{section:introduction}
\IEEEPARstart{X}{-ray} Computed Tomography (CT) is a type of non-destructive testing widely employed in medical imaging applications for diagnostic purposes. The use of X-radiation as the imaging medium, however, poses a challenging risk to patients exposing them to ionizing radiation. Thus, one of the main goals of today's research for X-ray CT is the reduction of the radiation exposure the patient is subjected to. One approach geared towards lowering the dose is sparse-view CT (SVCT), which aims at decreasing the number of exposures to be measured. However, while this approach lowers the total radiation dose a patient is exposed to, an insufficiently sized set of projections has been shown to generate streaking artifacts in images reconstructed with conventional analytical methods \cite{hdnet}.
\subsection{Classical Tomographic Reconstruction Techniques}
Analytical methods like the Filtered Backprojection (FBP) \cite{tv-why-sidky} for two-dimensional tomographic reconstruction and the FDK algorithm \cite{projdomweights} for the three-dimensional tomographic reconstruction case have been shown to perform well when full-view measurement data is available. As the sparsity of the projections becomes higher, such methods generate unwanted streaks in the final image which lower their diagnostic value \cite{dataconsistlimited}. Recently, research has been done towards training the FDK filtering weights with some success in de-streaking limited angle CT reconstructions using a data-driven fine-tuned sinogram filtering step \cite{projdomweights}.
Iterative reconstruction techniques have been proposed to replace analytical ones for SVCT. Such methods allow for the incorporation of a-priori information about the underlying problem, in the form of penalization terms, with the development of various regularization techniques for compressed sensing like total variation (TV) \cite{tv-chambolle,tv-sidky,tv-why-sidky} and its versions \cite{tv-adaptive-liu,tv-nonlocal-zhang,l0-li}, or even algorithms which enforce sparsity in other domains like wavelets \cite{tv-wavelets} or curvelets \cite{curvelets}. The major disadvantage of the iterative methods, however, is the high computational cost of the repeated forward and backward projection operations during the iterative update steps \cite{framelet} and the necessity of tuning several hyperparameters (e.g. regularization strength and number of iterations until convergence is achieved) which are required for good performance of the algorithm.

in a multitude of different areas like classification \cite{dl-classification}, denoising \cite{dl-denoising}, or superresolution \cite{dl-superresolution} for clinical applications.
Studies have shown that DL methods naturally learn representative low, middle and high level features in the given training dataset \cite{dl-vis-features} to generate labels or correctly perform denoising for new inputs which makes them the perfect candidate to be used towards reducing or (ideally) eliminating regular streaking artifacts for SVCT.
A nice overview of state-of-the-art DL-based methods for medical image processing is provided by Maier et al. \cite{gentleintrodl}, where the authors mention several competing solutions for SVCT, many of whom are based on the UNet or GAN architectures. Some of the first instances of such de-streaking algorithms can be traced back to FBPConvNet \cite{fbpconvnet}, which, as a standard encoder-decoder model, takes a sparse-view FBP reconstruction and is trained towards producing a de-streaked version of it. Zhang et al. extended FBPConvNet with residual connections, DD-Net \cite{ddnet}, which has shown greater capability of suppressing noise and artifacts while recovering contrast information. Han et al. \cite{framelet} argued that conventional CNNs assume local invariance in the input image but the global nature of the streaking artifacts requires CNN architectures with large receptive fields. They proposed an encoder-decoder framelet-domain denoising method which overcomes the limitation of the small receptive fields imposed by the convolutional operation. Lee et al. \cite{wavelet} improved on the framelet-domain architecture with sparsity enforcing wavelet-based data-driven denoising to enlarge the receptive field of conventional convolutions. More recently, generator-discriminator architectures, like the Generative Adversarial Networks, have been shown to produce superior results to UNet-based model both for sparse-view and for low-dose CT, in part thanks to their usage of feature-extracting adversarial loss compared to a more conventional pixel-based loss \cite{wgan,lowdosewasserstein}.
The major limitation to these methods, however, still remains the fact that artifact denoising is performed directly on the reconstructed image. This single-domain approach disregards any prior knowledge encoded in the original measurements. Dong et al. \cite{sino-unet} proposed to perform sinogram-domain instead of image-domain denoising and then reconstruct an artifact-free image. However, this approach is again limited to performing in a single domain. New studies have shown that cascaded CNNs performing denoising in both projection and reconstruction greatly improve the quality of the reconstruction over single-domain approaches \cite{comparison,dronenet}.
\subsection{Combined Denoising-Reconstruction Algorithms}
Precision Learning is a concept where known tomographic operators are included into the training process, thus enabling both measurement-domain and reconstruction-domain feature learning. Embedding the operator in the network usually leads to a reduction in the total number of trainable parameters and to a lower maximal training error \cite{precisionlearning_v2}.
Dual-domain denoising architectures for SVCT that take advantage of this concept have been proposed and successfully employed towards reducing streaking artifacts \cite{hdnet}. The insertion of a reconstruction module into the network enables the full-use of information in both projection and image domain \cite{dudonet}. The majority of the proposed networks with such a feature use a fixed FBP/FDK layer as the domain-transform operation inserted between two encoder-decoder networks used to extract features in the sinogram- and reconstruction-domain: \cite{hdnet} for sparse-view CT, \cite{casredscan} for helical CT, \cite{dataconsistlimited} for limited angle CT, and \cite{dudonet} for metal artifact reduction.
The filters used by these networks in the FBP/FDK layers are fixed, discretized analytical filters originally developed for full-view CT. Such filters are, however, sensitive to noise and discretization errors \cite{precisionlearning}. As none of these filters are optimal for SVCT, learning specialized filters for individual CT use-cases like SVCT is required. The first steps towards enabling data-driven fine-tuning of the reconstruction step can be found in the | 1.066038 | 0.945163 | 1.657808 | 2.210249 | [

works of Syben et al. \cite{precisionlearning}, who proposed doing data-driven optimization to lower the discretization artifacts for conventional CT, and W\"urfl et al. \cite{projdomweights}, who proposed learning the filter weights of the FDK operation for limited-angle CT.
Going even further, recent developments have re-introduced the regularized iterative reconstruction techniques with data-driven generated priors like the DRONE model or the DL-PICCS algorithm \cite{dronenet,dl-piccs}. While such architectures show great performance for SVCT, their data-driven aspect is only one part of the whole pipeline, while the iterative reconstruction algorithm governs the total computational cost. Additionally, it also requires optimization of several hyperparameters on a case by case basis to ensure convergence.
In this study we propose an improved dual-domain SVCT denoising hybrid network, in which the projection- and image-domain denoising operations are performed by two encoder-decoder networks while the reconstruction is performed in a FBP layer with a trainable filtering operation. We expand on the methods we previously proposed in Boghiu et al. \cite{dl-svct-fully3d}. We show that allowing fine-tuning of the FBP filter minimizes discretization and interpolation errors in the sinogram, while the two encoder-decoder networks successfully suppress streaking artifacts in both domains, generating competitive results to the state-of-the-art.
This paper is structured as follows: Section \ref{section:methods} contains a brief description of the sparse-view tomographic problem and introduces the proposed dual-domain architecture. Then, in Section \ref{section:results} we present the results obtained with the proposed method and we compare against several state-of-the-art methods in the literature. In Section \ref{section:interpretability} we dive into an interpretability analysis of our network, where we take apart each of its modules and investigate their performance and role in the whole reconstruction pipeline. In Section \ref{section:discussion} we discuss the results and use Section \ref{section:interpretability} for the interpretation of the results. Lastly, in Section \ref{section:conclusion} we sum up the findings of this paper.
\section{Methods} \label{section:methods}
{\color{black}
SVCT is a special case of regular X-ray CT where a significantly smaller set of measurements is used to reconstruct the imaged specimen. The low number of measurements increases the ill-posedness of the tomographic inverse problem, which leads to a decrease in quality in the reconstructed image. This is reflected in the presence of streaking and discretization artifacts in the result \cite{pyronn}. In this section we present the mathematical details of the tomographic inverse problem and we follow-up with a motivation for the dual-domain denoising approach.
\subsection{Sparse-view Computed Tomography}
Given a set of measurements $y_{k} \in \mathbb{R}^{k \cdot M}$, where $k \in \mathbb{N} $ denotes the number of angles employed to obtain the measurements and $M \in \mathbb{N} $ number of detector elements, we define the following discrete forward model for a tomographic reconstruction setup:
\begin{equation} \label{eq:forward-model}
A_{k} \cdot x = y_{k}
\end{equation}
where $x \in \mathbb{R}^{N}$ is the measured volume (with unknown inner structure) and $ A \in \mathbb{R}^{N \times (k \cdot M)}$ an operator encoding information about the X-ray image formation process and the acquisition geometry. We have a set of measurements $y_k$, obtained with a CT machine or a C-arm setup, which has to be used to reconstruct the unknown $x$.
There are various methods to solve this inverse problem, however we will focus on the Filtered Backprojection (FBP) reconstruction. We solve eq. (\ref{eq:forward-model}) for $x$ using the FBP algorithm \cite{history-ct}:
\begin{equation}
\tilde{x}_{k} = A_{k}^{T} W y_{k}
\end{equation}
where $A_{k}^{T}$ is the backprojection operation (defined as the transpose of the forward operator) and $W \in \mathbb{R}^{(k\cdot M) \times {k\cdot M}}$ a convolution operator describing the filtering | 0.948246 | 0.505564 | 1.698388 | 2.220655 | [

\subsection{Artifact Suppression and Reconstruction} \label{section:artifact_suppression}
As eq. (\ref{eq:forward-model}) is underdetermined for small $k$ (e.g. $32 \le k \le 128$) the reconstruction $\tilde{x}_{k}$ will contain unwanted artifacts (streaks) \cite{sr-svct}. Thus, one has to find a denoising operation $U_i : \mathbb{R}^{N} \mapsto \mathbb{R}^{N} $ that takes an input plagued by streaking artifacts (like $\tilde{x}_{k}$) and generates an output with less or (ideally) no artifacts, while recovering original information hidden behind the streaks. A data-driven approach to finding an optimal $U_i$ translates to minimizing the following user-defined loss function:
\begin{equation} \label{eq:best-ui-tmp}
\underset{U_i}{\text{arg min}} \, \mathcal{L}(U_{i}(\tilde{x}_{k}), x)
\end{equation}
where $x$ is usually an approximation of the original solution. There are different ways to define $\mathcal{L}$, but for simplicity, we choose to define it as the L2-norm between its two arguments $\mathcal{L}(x,y) = ||x-y||_2$.
An optimal $U_i$ which minimizes $\mathcal{L}$ is an operator which is able to generate a \enquote{clean} reconstruction in which (ideally) all the features contained in $x$ are recovered.
However, such an approach would perform the denoising process in the reconstruction domain, while prior information encoded in $y_{k}$ is possibly filtered out through the FBP reconstruction step. Finding a way to restore image information in the measurement domain set will ensure that an operator like $U_i$ has more information to work with in the image domain. This means that we ought to first find a mapping from $y_{k}$ to $y_{K}$, with $K = C \cdot k$, ($C \in \mathbb{N}, C>1$), and then apply the $U_i$ denoising operation to the corresponding FBP reconstruction $\tilde{x}_{K} = A_{K}^{T} W y_{K}$ such that we obtain a reconstruction with less artifacts due to the increased sampling rate of the sinogram \cite{dronenet}.
As a consequence we seek to find an interpolation operator $I : \mathbb{R}^{k \cdot M} \mapsto \mathbb{R}^{C \cdot k \cdot M}$ which takes a $k$-view sinogram and outputs a $K$-view sinogram where new measurements have been generated between the existing ones, leading to a less sparse artificial acquisition geometry.
Furthermore, we split the interpolation operator into two parts, $ I = U_s \circ \mathcal{I} $ with $U_s : \mathbb{R}^{k \cdot M} \mapsto \mathbb{R}^{K \cdot M}$ a denoising operator which suppresses interpolation and discretization artifacts generated by a geometry-aware interpolation operator $ \mathcal{I} : \mathbb{R}^{k \cdot M} \mapsto \mathbb{R}^{K \cdot M}$:
\begin{equation}
y_{K}^{U_s} = U_s(\mathcal{I}(y_{k}))
\end{equation}
The interpolation step is implemented as an FBP operation on the original $y_k$ followed by a forward projection:
\begin{equation} \label{eq:enhanced_sinogram}
y_{K}^{\mathcal{I}} = \mathcal{I}(y_{k}) = \mathcal{C}(\underbrace{A_{K} A_{k}^{T} W y_{k}}_{=y_{K}^{\text{int}}})
\end{equation}
The forward projection step $A_K$ is succeeded by a measurement consensus step $\mathcal{C}(\cdot)$ where the original measurements from $y_{k}$ are inserted into the obtained $K$-view sinogram $y_{K}^{\text{int}}$ at the corresponding angular locations, thus generating the enhanced $y_{K}^{\mathcal{I}}$.
Now, a denoising operator $U_s$ is required to properly handle the interpolation and discretization artifacts in the generated $y_{K}^{\mathcal{I}}$ sinogram, which can be obtained by minimizing the | 0.476393 | -0.337263 | 0.861429 | 2.054167 | [

following loss function:
\begin{equation} \label{best-us}
\bm{\hat{U}_s} = \underset{U_s}{\text{arg min}} \, \mathcal{L}_s(U_s(\mathcal{I}(y_{k})),y_{K})
\end{equation}
subject to $(y_{K}^{U_s})_{i \cdot k,*} = (y_{k})_{i,*}$ for every $i \in \mathbb{N}$ enforced by $\mathcal{C}$. $y_K$ is a real measured $K$-view sinogram used as the ground truth to compute the loss function. In other words, we train a denoising operator $U_s$ towards removing the interpolation artifacts produced by $\mathcal{I}$.
Given the discrete nature of the tomographic inverse problem in eq. (\ref{eq:forward-model}), a reconstruction generated with the FBP method is prone to certain corruptions commonly called cupping and dc shift artifacts \cite{precisionlearning}. Since widely used filters like the Ram-Lak or Cosine filters have proven to perform well when the set of measurements is sufficiently large \cite{fbp-filters}, FBP for SVCT with these types of filters is not ideal. Therefore, specific CT use-cases like SVCT require optimized filters, which can be obtained in a data-driven fashion. Since we use the FBP algorithm to compute a reconstruction from $y_K^{U_s}$ we can train an operator $W$ which increases the amount of recovered information in the corresponding reconstruction $\tilde{x}_{K}^{U_s} = A_{K}^T W y_K^{U_s}$. An optimal $W$ is learned by minimizing the following loss function:
\begin{equation} \label{best-w}
\bm{\hat{W}} = \underset{W}{\text{arg min}} \, \mathcal{L}_r(A_{K}^{T} W \bm{\hat{U}_s}(\mathcal{I}(y_k)),x)
\end{equation}
Having an optimal sinogram denoising operator $\bm{\hat{U}_s}$ and an optimal convolution operator $\bm{\hat{W}}$ the last step is to apply the operator $U_i$ from eq. (\ref{eq:best-ui-tmp}) on the improved reconstruction to find an $U_i$ which minimizes the following loss:
\begin{equation} \label{best-ui}
\bm{\hat{U}_i} = \underset{U_i}{\text{arg min}} \, \mathcal{L}_i(U_{i} (A_{K}^{T} \bm{\hat{W}} \bm{\hat{U}_s}(\mathcal{I}(y_k)),x)
\end{equation}
Putting everything together, we finally obtain a dual-domain optimally denoised reconstruction:
\begin{equation}
\bm{\hat{x}} = \bm{\hat{U}_i} (A_{K}^{T} \bm{\hat{W}} \bm{\hat{U}_s}(\mathcal{I}(y_k))) \approx x
\end{equation}
\subsection{Model Architecture} \label{section:model}
Fig. \ref{fig:wnet}a shows the proposed WNet model architecture consisting of its three main modules while Fig. \ref{fig:wnet}b highlights every step involved in the WNet reconstruction pipeline.
The first module of the WNet, the Sinogram-denoising Module (SdM), uses an encoder-decoder type of network $U_s$ to perform sinogram-domain denoising. The goal is to filter out the sparse-view and upsampling artifacts present in the interpolated sinogram $y_{K}^{\mathcal{I}}$ which was obtained with a goemetry-aware interpolation operation (Fig. \ref{fig:wnet}b). The output of a trained $\bm{\hat{U}_s}$ is the filtered sinogram $y_{K}^{\bm{\hat{U}_s}}$.
The interpolation step, a fixed operation, is performed in the preprocessing stage of the input. It consists of a forward projection to a $K$-view sinogram performed after a Ram-Lak filtered backprojection reconstruction from a $k$-view sinogram. Additionally, a measurement consensus step $\mathcal{C}$ guarantees that the original measurements $y_{k}$ are contained in the interpolated $K$-view sinogram $y_{K | 0.433933 | -0.764887 | 0.889327 | 2.048964 | [

The output of $\bm{\hat{U}_s}$ is then fed to the next module, the Reconstruction Module (ReM), which handles the FBP reconstruction of $y_{K}^{\bm{\hat{U}_s}}$. The ReM has two steps, a fixed tomographic backprojection operation, modeled as the transpose of the forward operator introduced in eq. (\ref{eq:forward-model}), $A^T$, preceeded by a trainable convolution operation which uses the trained kernel $\bm{\hat{W}}$ to filter the input sinogram $y_{K}^{\bm{\hat{U}_s}}$ and generate $\hat{x}_K^{\bm{\hat{W}}}$.
The third and final module, the Image-denoising Module (IdM), contains a second encoder-decoder network $\bm{\hat{U}_i}$ which is employed towards suppressing the sparse artifacts in $\hat{x}_K^{\bm{\hat{W}}}$, generating a final denoised image $\bm{\hat{x}}$. The UNet-based architecture of both encoder-decoder networks $U_s$ and $U_i$ is visualized in Fig. \ref{fig:wnet}c.

\caption{Reconstruction results of a clinically relevant slice for determining COVID-19 pneumonia in a patient selected out of the test dataset. The methods used were Filtered Backprojection (FBP, see Section \ref{section:comparison}), Weighted Least Squares with Total Variation Regularization (WLS+TV, see Section \ref{section:comparison}), FBPConvNet (see \cite{fbpconvnet}), DD-Net (see \cite{ddnet}), DRONE (see \cite{dronenet}) and WNet (ours, see Figure \ref{fig:wnet} and Section \ref{section:model}). FBP, WLS+L1, DRONE and WNet used the same forward and backward tomographic operators described in Section \ref{section:initialization} (top set) In the top left corner of the full slice images SSIM and PSNR metrics computed for the individual reconstruction with respect to the \enquote{Ground Truth} were added; in the top right corner the reconstruction time (t) and the number of trainable parameters of the model (where applicable) (\#) was also included. (bottom set) enlarged region-of-interest (ROI) for each individual reconstruction for a detailed view onto the local feature recovery performance of each algorithm investigated. Overall location of the ROI is shown as a red box in the full slice Ground Truth image which is the 2048-view FBP reconstruction $\tilde{x}_{2048}$. Display window for all generated images is [-1024,150] HU.}

\subsection{Data-driven FBP kernel weights} \label{section:methods,kernel}
An important part of the training process is the fine-tuning step performed on the ReM module filter $W$. At the start of the training procedure, this filter was initialized with the values of a Ram-Lak filter \cite{ramlak} and iteratively fine-tuned during training.
In an ideal continuous setting, inverting the tomographic reconstruction problem corresponds to finding the inverse of the Radon transform, which is given by the continuous FBP operation with a ramp filter \cite{precisionlearning}. However, in a real scenario, the discrete noisy measurements produce artifacts in the final reconstruction, for example cupping and dc shift artifacts \cite{precisionlearning}, besides the sparse artifacts. Therefore, analytical solutions have been proposed, where the Ram-Lak filter has been replaced by custom made filters, like the Cosine or the Shepp-Logan filter, which penalize the frequency domain in different ways (the aforementioned three filters can be seen in Fig. | -0.458411 | -0.703111 | -0.214571 | 1.180107 | [

\ref{fig:finetunedfilter}). We followed up to the study performed by W\"urfl et al. \cite{projdomweights} and enabled the fine-tuning of the FBP kernel during the training process.
\subsection{Training Procedure}\label{section:training}
\begin{algorithm}
\begin{algorithmic}
\State Train $U_s$ in SdM for 5 iterations with $\mathcal{L}_s$
\State Train $W$ in ReM for 5 iterations with $\mathcal{L}_r$
\State Train $U_i$ in IdM for 5 iterations with $\mathcal{L}_i$
\While {k in $0,1,\cdots$}
\State Update $U_s$,$W$,$U_i$ with $\mathcal{L}_i$
\EndWhile
\end{algorithmic}
\caption{Training pipeline}
\label{alg:training}
\end{algorithm}
We train the three modules of WNet in a round-robin fashion as outlined in Alg. \ref{alg:training}. We first train $U_s$ in SdM for five iterations towards minimizing the loss function $\mathcal{L}_s$. This ensures that the input of ReM is a properly filtered $K$-view sinogram $y_K^{U_s}$ and that training the ReM correctly fine-tunes its filter based on the filtered $K$-view sinogram. Then the FBP filter is updated towards minimizing $\mathcal{L}_r$. The third and last layer, IdM, takes a reconstruction obtained from an FBP operation with a fine-tuned filter and is trained using $\mathcal{L}_i$.
For both $\mathcal{L}_r$ and $\mathcal{L}_i$ we approximate $x$ with a full-view FBP reconstruction $\tilde{x}_{2048}$, as we will explain in more details in the next section.
All three loss functions $\mathcal{L}_s$,$\mathcal{L}_r$, and $\mathcal{L}_i$ are Huber losses given by the following formula:
\begin{equation}
\mathcal{L}_{s/r/i} =
\begin{cases}
\frac{1}{2} x^2 \text{, if } |x|<1 \\
|x| - \frac{1}{2} \text{, otherwise}
\end{cases}
\end{equation}
After the \enquote{jump-start} of all WNet modules the training continues iteratively, where during each iteration all three modules are concurrently updated by backpropagating the $\mathcal{L}_i$ loss (see \textbf{while}-loop in Alg. \ref{alg:training}):
\begin{equation*}
\bm{\hat{U}_s}, \bm{\hat{W}}, \bm{\hat{U}_i} = \underset{U_i,W,U_s}{\text{arg min}} \, \mathcal{L}_i(U_i (A_{K}^T W U_s(y_{K}^{\mathcal{I}})),\tilde{x}_{2048})
\end{equation*}
\section{Experiments and Results} \label{section:results}
\subsection{Dataset} \label{section:dataset}
\blue{A total of 30 CT chest scans of patients suffering from COVID-19 pneumonia were acquired at Klinikum Rechts der Isar. Each scan was stripped of all the slices above and below the chest area which did not contain any lung region.}
\blue{All 30 scans were obtained with a Philips iCT 256 based on a full-dose protocol in the lung window and reconstructed at a resolution of $512$ by $512$ pixels with a slice thickness of $0.9$mm and a pixel size of $\approx 0.72$mm.}
\blue{Data access was approved by the institutional ethics committee at Klinikum Rechts der Isar (Ethikvotum 87/18 S) and the data was anonymized.}
To generate the required sparse sinograms and reconstructions we simulated an acquisition protocol based on a parallel-beam configuration with a detector resolution of $720$ pixels. \blue{In this study we chose $k | -0.120786 | -0.749667 | 0.653457 | 1.445446 | [

=128$ uniformly sampled over a full-arc ($360\degree$) for the initial sparse-view sinogram $y_{128}$. This sparse-view protocol creates diagnostically challenging images for radiologists. }For the sinogram interpolation step, we set $C=4$, leading to $K=512$ angles in a quarter-view sinogram configuration. A quarter-view label sinogram $y_{512} $ was generated using the same parameters, as was a full-view label sinogram $y_{2048}$.
We generated a set of FBP reconstructions $\tilde{x}_{2048}$ from the simulated full-view sinograms $y_{2048}$ as labels for WNet. We chose not to use the slice data from the original scans, since this data has been processed and reconstructed in a blackbox clinical environment, with possibly additional post-reconstruction processing steps applied to the result. Therefore, generating matched forward- and filtered backprojections with a known reconstruction pipeline ensures compatibility of the input and label set and enables WNet to learn features related to the streaky nature of the SVCT images while remaining relatively transparent to the employed reconstruction parameters.
20 out of 30 scans were selected for the training set, while the other 10 were split in half and assigned to the validation and test set. We extend the training and validation set by applying an augmentation step to the individual slices which consists of a clockwise rotation of the original slice by $90\degree$, $180\degree$, and $270\degree$, thus expanding both sets by a factor of 4. In total we train WNet on $22800$ slices and we validate it on $4832$ slices. In the end, we test our trained network on the $5960$ slices in the test set.
\blue{For visualization purposes a physician chose a range of diagnostically relevant slices that display typical features of a COVID-19 pneumonia, which we show throughout this manuscript in Figs. \ref{fig:main-results}, \ref{fig:sinograminterpolation}, \ref{fig:finetunedfilter}, \ref{fig:imagedenoising}. The COVID-19 related findings in the chosen slice are based on the ground glass opacity of mixed consolidation in the dorsal region of the right lung, which is enlarged in the region-of-interest (ROI) in (red square in Fig. \ref{fig:main-results}-\enquote{Ground Truth} ). We use the mentioned ROI to focus our analysis of the results in the next sections.}
\subsection{Initialization and Training}\label{section:initialization}
WNet consists of around $17.3$M trainable parameters split up into $\approx 8.5$M for $U_s$, $\approx 8.5$M for $U_i$ and $1024$ for $W$. To initialize the weights of $U_s$ and $U_i$ we sample from the Xavier normal distribution, while the biases are generated with samples from the uniform distribution. The FBP operation in ReM is implemented with a Fourier-domain based filtering step. The filter weights are initialized with the Fourier-domain values of the Ram-lak filter, similar to the \textit{scikit} implementation of FBP (called \textit{iradon} in the \textit{scikit} framework) \cite{scikit-image}. The backprojection operation is implemented as a differentiable Pytorch layer, extending the \textit{torch.autograd} functionality with a custom backward gradient propagation operation \cite{pytorch}. The backend used for the matched forward and backward projectors is the C++17 tomographic reconstruction framework \textit{elsa} \cite{elsa}. The projector employed throughout the experiments is using Siddon's method in a parallel-beam configuration.
\blue{The Python library \textit{scikit-image} \cite{scikit-image} was used in the preprocessing stage for resizing and performing augmentation and in the training and inference stage to compute image comparison metrics.}
To update the parameters of all three modules we use the Adam optimizer ($\beta_1=0.9$ and $\beta_2=0.999$) with a learning rate of $10^{-4}$ for each individual module. The batch size was set during the whole training process to 4 | 0.27642 | 0.138709 | 0.620486 | 1.632745 | [

. The number of epochs was 5 for the \enquote{jump-start} and then the whole network was trained for another 20 to ensure convergence, which was observed to be reached after 15 iterations.
All networks and additional experiments were trained and run on a NVIDIA Quadro RTX 6000 GPU with 24GB pf VRAM. The underlying system was powered by an AMD EPYC 7452 32-Core CPU with 512GB RAM and running Ubuntu 20.04. The WNet was implemented in Pytorch 1.9 \cite{pytorch} with a CUDA 11.0 backend.

\subsection{Comparison to state-of-the-art} \label{section:comparison}
We compare results obtained with methods from three different generations of reconstruction algorithms on our fixed test set. Fig. \ref{fig:main-results} contains the example slice reconstructions with each individual method and a corresponding zoomed-in region-of-interest view. The region-of-interest view is employed to shed more light on the localized performance of each algorithm.
The analytical reconstruction with Filtered Backprojection (FBP) was obtained from the simulated sparse-view sinogram $y_{128}$. Similarly, we ran 250 iterations of Weighted Least Squares with Total Variation regularization (WLS+TV) to obtain an iterative reconstruction from the same sparse-view set $y_{128}$. The regularization parameter was empirically set to $10^5$.
Next, as FBPConvNet is one of the first networks which tackled the de-artifacting of SVCT, we reimplemented the network from \cite{fbpconvnet} in our framework and trained it for 100 iterations on pairs of sparse-view FBP reconst | -0.765218 | -0.366472 | -0.221546 | 1.018822 | [

ructions (input) and full-view FBP reconstructions (label) following the procedures described in \cite{fbpconvnet}.
The DD-Net was another network from the first generation of encoder-decoder models for SVCT that we investigated. We trained DD-Net for 50 iterations on the same input-label pairs as FBPConvNet while employing the original architecture, code and setup instructions from \cite{ddnet}.
Finally, we compared our results to the results obtained by the most recent type of architecture, DRONE \cite{dronenet}. The architecture of DRONE consists of four networks which perform sequentially the tasks of projection-domain and image-domain denoising on both images and residual images (see Fig. 1 from \cite{dronenet} for more details about the architecture of DRONE). All four networks, similar to one another, implement the UNet architecture, each one of them containing approximately 10.9M parameters, for a gross total of 43.8M parameters. Every network is trained sequentially, its input representing the generated output with the previous one.
The DRONE model employs custom forward and backward tomographic operators from the ASTRA Toolbox \cite{astra} both inside the network as well as for the final iterative denoising step, based on a half-arc two-dimensional fan-beam geometry. We adapted the original implementation of DRONE \cite{dronenet} with the forward-backward operators pair of \textit{elsa}-based operators and we changed the half-arc fan-beam geometry with the full-arc parallel-beam geometry employed by WNet, to ensure the compatibility of results. We then followed the training procedures listed in \cite{dronenet} and performed in the end the required iterative TV denoising. As for the denoising hyperparameters, we empirically set $\lambda_1,\alpha_1,\alpha_2,\beta_1$ and $\beta_2$ to $0.01,0.6,0.6,0.001$ and $0.001$ as the original values ($0.05,0.14,0.6,0.003$ and $0.003$) used by \cite{dronenet} did not fit our dataset).
To quantitatively evaluate the quality of the different results, we use the Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio (PSNR) between two images $f$ (input), $g$ (label) $f,g \in \mathbb{R}^{M \times N}$ given by:
\begin{equation}
\text{\textit{PSNR}}(f,g) = 10 \cdot \log_{10} \frac{\text{\textit{MAX}}_I^2}{\text{\textit{MSE}}(f,g)}
\end{equation}
where $\text{\textit{MSE}}(f,g) = \frac{1}{M \cdot N} \sum_{i=1}^{M} \sum_{j=1}^{N} (f_{ij} - g_{ij})^2$ is the Mean Squared Error between two arguments $f,g$. We also use the Structural Similarity Index Measure (SSIM) between two images $f,g \in \mathbb{R}^{M \times N}$ \cite{ssim}. To compute both metrics we used the \textit{scikit} implementation.
We listed the average and the standard deviation values for PNSR and SSIM over the test set in Table \ref{table:results} where we highlighted in boldface font the best values. We also added rows for the mean reconstruction time and the number of trainable parameters, to support the method comparison.
\subsection{Module Analysis} \label{section:imagedenoising}
During the training procedure we noticed several interesting behaviors of the different submodules of WNet. Therefore, we performed an investigation into each individual WNet module to highlight aspects of the trained operators $\bm{\hat{U}_s}$, $\bm{\hat{U}_i}$ and $\bm{\hat{W}}$.
Fig. \ref{fig:sinograminterpolation} contains the corresponding reconstructions to each individual sinogram preprocessing steps in the WNet pipeline shown in Fig. \ref{fig:wnet}b. To highlight the role of each step both in general and in local feature recovery we added a zoomed-in view into one of the regions of interest.

ReM and we plot it against three other widely used kernels in conventional CT applications. Reconstructions with matching colors to the corresponding filters (Fig. \ref{fig:finetunedfilter}a) used to generate them are shown besides the plots in Fig. \ref{fig:finetunedfilter}b.
Last but not least, in Fig. \ref{fig:imagedenoising} we take a look at the performance of a trained $U_i$ given two different inputs, one obtained by an FBP with the Ram-Lak filter and one generated by an FBP operation with a learned filter. We compare the results to a full-view FBP reconstruction with a Ram-Lak filter.

\subsection{Generalization} \label{section:generalization}
One key aspect of DL based methods is their data-driven nature and high dependency on a training set representative of the whole modeled population of inputs. Having a training set which does not contain all the representative information for the whole expected input domain, leads to poor performance of the neural network on samples with new features not represented in the training set. Therefore, understanding how a neural network \enquote{learns} to extract features out of it becomes an important task in order to get insights into the training process and the generalizability performance of the trained model on new data.
We perform a short investigation into the performance of the trained WNet and two other major architectures (FBPConvNet and DRONE) on three new slices, which were not part of either training, validation, or test set.
\blue{Fig. \ref{fig:generalization} contains slices extracted from a CT scan belonging to an ex-vivo clinical study of deceased patients at Klinikum Rechts der Isar. The acquisition was performed with a high dose CT Protocol with an exposure time of 497ms at a nominal tube current of $512$mA and $120$ kV, and the images were reconstructed with a sharp reconstruction kernel in the lung window setting. A Philips iCT 256 scanner was used with a resolution of $(768,768)$ pixels at a voxel size of $(0.4362,0.4362,0.9)$ mm. Images were downsampled to $(512,512)$ pixels.}

\caption{(a) The fine-tuned kernel plotted against other widely used FBP kernels (Ram-Lak, Cosine, Shepp-Logan). Details about the training of the kernel can be found in Section \ref{section:methods,kernel} and \ref{section:initialization}. The x-axis values represent detector pixel locations. (b) Reconstructions, difference to ground truth and ground truth color-coded to the corresponding kernel plot color in \enquote{Filter outlines}. The display window for the generated reconstructions is [-1024,150] HU and for the difference image [0,400] HU. The ground truth image is the 2048-view FBP reconstruction $\tilde{x}_{2048}$.}

\subsection{Comparison to state-of-the-art}
The results in Fig. \ref{fig:main-results} show that outputs of convolutional-based networks tend to share similarities in feature reconstruction performance like the over-smoothing of edges and loss of small and very-small details. The contrast of the image produced by the DD-Net is higher than the FBPConvNet result, with smaller details visible, which is also reflected in the increase in PSNR by $1$dB and in SSIM by $1\%$, with the major difference being that DD-Net requires $54\times$ less parameters than FBPConvNet and is $10\times$ faster, proving the potential of residual connections in such scenarios. However, DD-Net images are still plagued by low sharpness and the presence of overs | -0.980942 | -1.393398 | -0.769374 | 0.311899 | [

mooth regions.
The DRONE algorithm seems to have taken care of various drawbacks of previous convolutional-based methods, like oversmooth regions, blurry edges and loss of detail at the small and very-small scale, however, at the cost of network size and computational burden. For the reconstruction of the slice in Fig. \ref{fig:main-results} the DRONE pipeline requires over $200$s to complete one slice. Compared to that, WNet needs less than $1$s to perform the inference step (both network tested on the same hardware in similar conditions). In a clinical setting, where time is of high importance, the DRONE network would require about $16$h to reconstruct a $300$ slice Chest CT volume, while our method would only need $300$s at a comparable image quality.
While the DRONE and WNet results are comparable in terms of contrast, resolution and overall image quality, WNet generates the image with less than half the number of parameters in DRONE and most notably at a fraction of the reconstruction time (see Table \ref{table:results}), which is comparable to the inference time of other methods like FBPConvNet or DD-Net. Additionally, WNet does not require any hyperparameter tuning for the iterative denoising or reconstruction process like WLS+L1 or DRONE do, thus making it more efficient for similar use-cases where parameter tweaking might be necessary for a DRONE-like pipeline.
Last but not least, we improved on the factor of 3 increase in interpolated sinogram resolution mentioned in \cite{dronenet} by showing that sinogram upsampling by a factor of 4 (from $128$-view to $512$-view sinograms) is indeed feasible in the context of SVCT.
\subsection{Network Interpretability} \label{section:interpretability}
Progress in the development of new deep learning methods for image processing is often a slow process based on small incremental steps from previous model iterations. Therefore, a key to understanding the way WNet "works" is to analyze the outputs of its individual modules.
\subsubsection{Sinogram-domain Denoising} \label{section:sinogramdenoising}
In Fig. \ref{fig:sinograminterpolation} it is noticeable that the geometry-aware interpolation $\mathcal{I}$ coupled with the measurement consensus step $\mathcal{C}$, reduces some of the streaking artifacts seen in the original $128$-view sparse reconstruction $\tilde{x}_{128}$. This quality improvement is also reflected in the quantitative measures of the two images: an increase of approx. $2$dB in PSNR and $7\%$ in SSIM for $\tilde{x}_{512}^{\mathcal{I}}$ over $\tilde{x}_{128}$ ($\tilde{x}_{512}^{\mathcal{I}}$ is the FBP reconstruction of $y_{512}^{\mathcal{I}}$ from eq. \ref{eq:enhanced_sinogram}). However, there is no new information inferred in the enhanced sinogram $y_{512}^{\mathcal{I}}$ (eq. \ref{eq:enhanced_sinogram}). Only an optimal sinogram-denoising operator $\bm{\hat{U}_s}$ significantly reduces the amount of streaking and interpolation artifacts in the sinogram, such that in its corresponding reconstruction $\tilde{x}_{512}^{\bm{\hat{U}_s}}$ contrast and features are remarkably restored to some extent (see Sec. \ref{section:artifact_suppression} for details on how $\tilde{x}_{512}^{\bm{\hat{U}_s}}$ is computed). The PSNR and SSIM metrics reflect the increase in information recovered in the output with an increase of another 7dB in PSNR and 20\% in SSIM over $\tilde{x}_{512}^{\mathcal{I}}$.
\subsubsection{Reconstruction module fine-tuning} \label{section:finetuning}
As shown in Fig. \ref{fig:finetunedfilter}, the learned filter reveals similarities to other filters in the low-frequency domain. It starts to diverge from the Ram-Lak filter once it reaches the medium-frequency sector, its values lying close to the Cosine filter. In the high-frequency domain, coefficients diverge from the Cosine filter values towards the Shepp-Logan kernel. Note that, the learned filter is optimized for the specific sparse | 1.112607 | 0.304118 | 0.983168 | 1.653556 | [

-view reconstruction problem ($k=128$ and $K=512$), and might require re-training for a different measurement sparsity factor.
\subsubsection{Image-domain Denoising}
The results in Fig. \ref{fig:imagedenoising} show that $U_i$ is a necessary step to handle the \enquote{left-over} sparse-artifacts from the previous modules. The natural features present in the image, compared to a sinogram, enable this module to learn more meaningful representations and to recover small and very-small details in the image, thus creating a better result.
