Chrono Trigger DS AU Review
February 3, 2009 - Chrono Trigger is something of a myth for most Australians. It was originally released for the SNES in 1995, but never made it to our shores. In 1999, it was rereleased for the PlayStation with additional content – specifically, a few cinematics, the ability to listen to the (superb) soundtrack, view the art and other little extras. Again we missed out. Then other games that were given a very similar treatment by Square – FFIV, V and VI – began to appear in our local game stores, and for a glimmering, shining moment, we thought we might see this gem too. Alas, it was not to be.
An Eminence Orchestra Download
February 13, 2007 - Today we have a very special download for IGN Insiders. Eminence has given us a recording of a new arrangement from composer Yasunori Mitsuda of Radical Dreamers from Chrono Cross. The original was for a single guitar and voice, but when Mitsuda came out for "Passion" - a series of concerts Eminence performed in December 2006, he rearranged it for violin and double dubbed guitar, and they recorded it, with Hiroaki Yura on violin and Zane Banks on guitar. Download and enjoy!

Dirty Dozen: Revival of the Fittest
November 23, 2004 - Welcome to another round of the Dirty Dozen. This makes it two weeks in a row that we're taking a closer look at 12 unique games deserve to be talked about in their own special way. Besides, we've already reviewed every game to come out this fall and recently did a Dirty Dozen regarding the top 12 games we think you should look out for in 2005. But there are still plenty more games that still need to be recognized, and this time around we figured that we'd go back to the archives for a Revival of the Fittest: a collection of PSOne games that need sequels or follow-ups on the PlayStation 2. The qualifications for this particular Dirty Dozen are rather simple: if a game in question hasn't had a sequel or remake for a console since its last appearance on the PSOne, then it can make it on our list. This means that up to this point, none of the games mentioned below have been given follow-ups (foreign or domestic) for the Sega Dreamcast, Microsoft Xbox, Sony PlayStation 2, and Windows PC since the year 2000. Even with these restrictions in mind it was still easy to draw up an initial list that consisted of more than 30 deserving games. When we whittled the list down to get it into fighting shape we had to all agree that it was a title that deserves to be re-envisioned in a fresh way with new technology. In other words, these games are still unique even after being out of the public eye for at least half a decade. They are still relevant and deserve some props so give it up for the newest Dirty Dozen: Revival of the Fittest.
RPG Strategy Guide Extravaganza
January 9, 2002 - Over the past several months, IGN Guides has posted a horde of complete strategy guides for several of PlayStation's most ambitious role-playing games, such as Chrono Cross, Final Fantasy IX, Vagrant Story, Valkyrie Profile, Threads of Fate, Parasite Eve II, Legend of Mana, Final Fantasy VIII, Wild Arms 2, Legend of Dragoon, and more!
Chrono Cross Joins Greatest Hits Line
August 21, 2001 - Today, Square EA announced that Chrono Cross, voted 2000 PlayStation Game of the Year by IGNPSX, is now available for $19.99 as part of Sony's PlayStation Greatest Hits software line. This development no doubt dashes the hopes of many Ebay speculators, who were likely expecting Cross to follow the same rising secondary-market price curve as previous cult Square hits Xenogears and Final Fantasy Tactics. In addition to the nasty green bar down the left side of the cover, the Greatest Hits version of Chrono Cross will also include English-translated lyrics to the closing theme, "Radical Dreamers," in the owner's manual, an extra which did not appear in the original American version of the game.
IGN Roundtable #1: How Important is Square
April 11, 2001 - Every week, IGN's editorial staff gets together to talk about a current hot topic, chosen by you, the IGN Insider reader. Since this is our first week, we chose to talk about a company that's currently on everybody's mind: Square.

Square Considers Chrono Trigger, FFIV for U.S.
December 19, 2000 - Final Fantasy IX isn't Square's last PlayStation game, apparently. Square-EA told IGNPSX today that the company is considering bringing two more games to the PlayStation in 2001. The games? Only Chrono Trigger and Final Fantasy IV, which some Square fans consider two of the company's very best RPGs ever.

Are you thinking of purchasing a pool table for your home?
They can be such a great amount of fun for the family.
If you replied "yes," how would you approach picking the right table for your house and for the sort of game you play? Great questions right?
Alright, now I have you thinking about this Nice new pool table, where are you going to place it in your house? Do you have a game room as of now?
Is it the right size for the table you need to buy, or do you have to make room in an existing room by moving things around a bit?
The recommendation to purchase new pool table is dependably the best one. The upsides of buying new pool table are customization, quality, generational passing, warranties, and certifications. Require anything more be said? It's obvious.
Buying a pool table is a huge expense. You wouldn't settle for the pool table you don't need since it's shabby, right? Maybe, yet you comprehend what you need. You recognize what you like. Build it and be a part of the procedure. This is going to be something that you can go on to your's children. Simply recognize what is right for you.
Alright, then what is the best pool table available?
That is up for debate. I have worked on and seen, pretty much everything out there throughout the years. Some are great while others are firewood.
Everything you need to know to choose the perfect pool table.
Slate from a few companies isn't great. If you think slate is simply slate; then advise that to the numerous clients that committed the error of buying these and required edge rebuilds, slate substitution, and new parts that wound up costing them more cash than what they paid for the entire table fresh out of the plastic new. Some slate is rigid and hard not allowing it to flex, so it splits and breaks with simplicity.
One piece slate tables are obsolete for the home. In bars they are nice. However, that isn't what you need in your home. First off, who needs to move it? No one does. Furthermore, they can't get similar kind of precision level that a three-piece slate table can get. Leveling is the only advantage with one piece slate, and three pieces of slate give you that, as well as includes a fine tuning component that will hold that level for more and resist warping also.
Size and style of pool tables are totally up to you. There isn't anything here that anybody can do to influence these. What amount of room do you have?
This will help you gauge what size will fit into your present home. Think about this one precisely, however. In any case, recollect, what may fit in your present home may not fit in your next one.
What stylistic layout do you have and exhibit in your home? Does a traditional look, contemporary design, or competition style fit you and your home needs?
There are options on a home pool table from the legs, the casing (curved, no curve, twofold curve), and rail edges (steered, plain, scalloped). These things ought to be considered. Get out there and take a gander at them!
There are the most regular sorts of woods used to make perfect pool tables. Some pool tables are made out of marble, auto parts, metal, and other interesting materials. Your standard hardwoods, nonetheless, will be oak or maple for most traditional pool tables while lamination will be utilized on your competition style present day corner tables. The dependable general guideline: stick with the standard woods and work your way up.
There is a multitude of different stains and finishes available nowadays. The stain is the shading that they make the wood while the finish is the thing that goes over that for protection and shine. The stain colors extend from regular and light colors, the distance to dim and blacks. Finishes will be available in just a couple of different options with matte, semi-shine, and high sparkle being the most prevalent. These two items are identified with your desires and stylistic layout. Look at every one of them, especially against your fabric shading options.
Finding the right maker and retailer will take some time. Find the best ones that fit your financial plan and, all the more importantly, fit your needs. Take as much time as necessary and ensure the pool tables have warranties and guarantees for future support. Find what works best. Keep in mind it's your cash.

Group calls for rail study
A GROUP representing seven northern NSW councils wants the state government to expand a rail study into a broader public transport study for the region.
Northern Rivers Organisation for Councils represents Lismore, Kyogle, Tweed, Clarence Valley, Byron, Ballina and Richmond Valley councils.
The organisation's president councillor Phillip Silver said improving public transport was a priority for all LGAs and a study was required.
"(The state government) are doing a $2-million study into re-establishing the Casino-Murwillumbah railway line in the coming months. We want a regional public transport study incorporated into that study," Cr Silver said.
"NOROC was hoping 2012 would see the development of an integrated regional transport plan for the Northern Rivers, but the NSW government has said it wants to complete the NSW long term transport master plan before it embarks on regional plans," Cr Silver said.
"I acknowledge the State Government's desire to complete the NSW Long Term Transport Master Plan which will identify the direction of transport development over the next 20 years."
Cr Silver said the council had $140,000 to fund a study.
"We have federal, state and local governments building transport infrastructure and we need a plan," he said.
Tweed MP Geoff Provest said incorporating a broader transport study into the railway study was not a good idea.
"I think it should be separate," Mr Provest said.
Mr Provest said studies were more successful when they were focused on specific outcomes.
"The larger it becomes the more money will be needed," he said.
"If it's expanded it will be far greater than $2 million."
Mr Provest said it took a long time to get the commitment for the rail study.

This is a stunning interpretation of the classic Swan Lake. A must watch for any ballet enthusiasts.
There is a lot of acting in this version and a far too strong representation of male homosexuality, distracting from the ballet itself. (When are the directors and dancers going to learn that its not their personal expression that matters, but the effect of the whole work?)

However many photos I come back with from a shoot, I don't often add more than one or two of those images to my website, preferring to just show a selection of my very best images. What happens to all the images that don't make the cut? They're all languishing unseen on my hard drive which seems a shame after spending so much time and effort on their creation so I thought I'd use my blog to show a few more of the images from each shoot. As well as letting a few more images see the light of day, I think presenting the photos as a set should also help me to keep improving my photography. Thinking about the different options, looking for alternate angles or interesting details and getting under the skin of a place rather than just looking for the single 'classic view' that will sum it up in one shot.
These images were all taken on a dawn walk along the tidal section of the River Alde at Snape. The River Alde passes Snape Maltings where the Victorian maltings buildings have been converted into a cultural site, home to shops, galleries, restaurants, Snape Maltings Concert Hall and holiday apartments as it meanders it's way passed Aldeburgh on it's way to the sea. It's a beautiful area but typically of East Anglia is the sort of flat landscape that can be hard work for us photographers to capture in a photo. Look closer though and there is plenty here and I'm looking forward to coming back to walk the other side of the river.
The idea for these blogs came after the shoot on this occasion so in future posts I hope to come up with a more varied set of images but for now I'm going to use the old adage; 'A picture is worth a thousand words' and take the opportunity to keep quiet and show some photos.

In a perfect world, there would be a single, universal operating system for computers, and it would be stable, flawless, inalterable and supported by its developer at no cost. In addition, in said perfect world, elected officials would be honorable and trustworthy, consumer goods would cost what they're worth rather than what the market will bear and green would be a color rather than a religion.
If such a world existed, we'd live there, and you wouldn't be reading this.
In this world, there are several largely incompatible, funky and effectively unsupported operating systems. Windows is one of them, and while it's the most widely used, there are workable alternatives. The most engaging of these is Linux, which has the advantage of being effectively free and the disadvantage of having a lot of programs available for it, but very little software. Many of the programs require that you be a programmer to use them.
As much as we'd like to port our Windows applications to run under Linux, the reality of doing so is seriously daunting. Linux comes in well over a dozen popular distributions and the Goddess knows how many less widely-used ones. Every one of those distributions exists in innumerable versions, not all of which are backward compatible. Creating a port of one of our applications to run under Linux would involve an undertaking just this side of a total re-write, and thousands of hours of work.
Our apologies to the penguin... it's not likely to happen any time soon.
There is, however, a way to run Windows software — including most of our stuff — under Linux without rewriting much of anything. You can install an open-source, no-cost addition to Linux called Wine, which provides duplicates of the Windows software interface, or API, to Windows applications running on a Linux system. This, in effect, tricks Windows software into thinking it's running under Windows while it stealthily translates all the software's calls and requests into comparable functions that exist under Linux.
This document will discuss installing Wine, installing Alchemy Mindworks applications under Wine and the issues involved therein. Please keep in mind that it, like Wine — and as has been said of late, like Windows — is a work in progress.
Did we mention this isn't a perfect world?
You can find out more about Wine at Wine HQ. Wine is easy to install — most of the time — and considering what it does, it works surprisingly well.
As you might imagine, this isn't the same as working perfectly.
Binary installs of Wine are available for Red Hat, CentOS, Fedora, SUSE, Slackware, Ubuntu, Debian, FreeBSD and Sun Solaris as of this writing, and the source code for Wine is available, should you wish to compile it under an otherwise unsupported implementation of Linux.
The first important thing to keep in mind about Wine is that it won't be of much use unless the computer it's installed on is running an Intel-compatible processor. This includes pretty much every personal computer on earth, with the exception of older Macintosh systems.
It's also worth noting that while the current generation of Macintosh computers run on Intel processors, they won't run Wine as it's distributed due to problems with the Macintosh implementation of Linux. There is a Macintosh-specific version of Wine, called Darwine, which addresses this — it's addressed in a separate article.
To install Wine, click on the Get Wine Now link in the Download section of the Wine HQ page, locate your implementation of Linux and follow the instructions. If you're using a current release of Red Hat, CentOS or Fedora, you can install Wine, as we did, by opening a terminal window, running su and typing:
yum install wine
Once Wine is installed, you should see Wine as an item in the Applications window of your desktop.
The process of installing Wine will create a folder structure on your hard drive to represent the C: drive of a Windows system. It resides in a hidden directory called .wine in the home directory of the user who installed it. As such, if your user name is sloth, the directory /home/sloth will include a directory called .wine.
If you're new to Windows, it's probably worth mentioning that they're called directories under Linux and folders under Windows, because Windows is just huge on metaphors.
The problem with hidden folders is that they're hidden, and as such, you can't see them. Run the File Browser from the System Tools sub-menu of the Applications menu of your desktop and enable Show Hidden Files in the View menu to enable you to see this directory... or folder... or whatever.
If you double-click on the .wine folder, you should see a folder called drive_c, and within that, folders called Program Files and Windows.
The Windows folder includes libraries that duplicate the core functionality of Windows, as viewed by a Windows application, but none of the software that installs with real Windows. As such, common applications such as WordPad and Paint aren't available under Wine — the latter will prove to be a problem.
Wine is now good to go.
While a simple Windows application will now run under Wine, there are several things that a complete Alchemy Mindworks application might find to be missing. The first one is a library called msvcp60.dll, which most of our software likes to have on hand. In its absence, applications like GIF Construction Set and Graphic Workshop won't run under Linux, and perhaps more annoyingly still, will not say why they're misbehaving.
Check to see that msvcp60.dll exists in the .wine/drive_c/Windows/System32 folder for your Linux system.
If this proves to be missing under your Wine installation, you can have Winetricks install msvcp60.dll for you — Winetricks will be discussed later in this article.
The second problem is slightly more obscure. Alchemy Mindworks software stores its documentation as HTML documents, which require a web browser to view them. Linux typically installs with the Firefox web browser, but this is a Linux application, not a Windows application. A Windows application that wants to open an HTML document won't have access to the Linux installation of Firefox.
The first thing you'll need to install under Wine, then, is Firefox. Visit the Firefox web page, download the Windows version of Firefox and double-click on it in the Linux File Browser. It will install under Wine.
You're now ready to install some actual software under Wine. In this example, we're going to install GIF Construction Set Professional. The installation procedure discussed herein should be applicable to any contemporary Alchemy Mindworks application.
Double-click on the gcsp70.msi or GIFConstructionSet.msi installer for GIF Construction Set Professional in the Linux File Browser to open it. Work through the installation screens — it's all pretty much self-explanatory. It's a profoundly good idea to allow the installer to install GIF Construction Set to its default folder.
We'd like to take this opportunity to note that if you use Alchemy Mindworks software to do productive work, even if it's running under Linux while it's doing it, you need to register it.
GIF Construction Set is now ready to rock... mostly.
Installing GIF Construction Set Professional should have created a wine glass icon on your Linux desktop for GIF Construction Set. Double-click on it and GIF Construction Set should run under Linux. Alternately, you can open GIF Construction Set from the Wine sub-menu of the Applications menu of your Linux desktop.
We too were shocked when this actually worked.
In the event that it doesn't work for you — that is, if you double-click on the icon and nothing happens — the most likely cause of the problem is GIF Construction Set proving to be unable to find msvcp60.dll, as discussed earlier in this document. Make sure you've installed it in your \windows\system32 folder.
When GIF Construction Set Professional first boots up, it will probably complain about being unable to find Windows Paint. This is normal — the default installation of Wine doesn't include Windows' ancillary applications such as Paint, and as such you wouldn't expect GIF Construction Set to be able to find it. We'll address this one in a moment.
Pretty much everything in GIF Construction Set will work, with the following exceptions.
- The Movie import and export functions are a tad obstreperous. As of this writing, the AVI codec support in Wine seems to be broken, and attempts to save an animation to AVI will fail. Attempting to select a different video codec crashes GIF Construction Set. As these are Wine issues rather than GIF Construction Set issues, we can do little but wait for the development people behind Wine to address them. You can save animations to AVI if you disable the Write Compressed Movies item in the GIF Construction Set Profesisonal Setup window. The MOV functions should work if you install QuickTime.
- The Paint function in the Image block edit window won't work, as GIF Construction Set couldn't find a Paint application.
Also, note that the Help menu may appear at the extreme right end of the GIF Construction Set menu bar under Linux.
By default, Wine will present applications running under it with two lettered drives. Drive C is the top of the Windows folder structure — that is, the contents of the .wine\drive_c hidden folder in your home directory. Drive Z is the top of your Linux directory structure. If you want to work on animations stored somewhere on your hard drive that's not under your .wine folder, you'll need to select drive Z.
If you open the Wine Configuration item from the Wine sub-menu of the Applications menu of your Linux desktop, you can fine-tune some of Wine's stealthier aspects. You can, for example, assign additional drive letters for use under Wine's simulation of Windows. This can save a fair bit of rodent action if you keep all your graphics in a particular Linux directory which you'll want to open quickly from within GIF Construction Set.
You can set the version of Windows that Wine will pretend to be. It's unclear what this setting actually does under Wine — we recommend setting it to Windows 7.
Finally, you can set the font resolution in the Graphics tab. You should leave this at its default value, 96 DPI. Increasing it will loose a number of cosmetic demons and wraiths upon GIF Construction Set, and many other Windows applications running under Wine.
The lack of Windows Paint under Linux is a problem for GIF Construction Set, and it's one that can't be resolved without a bit of stealth. To the best of our knowledge, Microsoft's web page does not include a downloadable installer for Windows Paint.
There are several ways to address this:
- If you don't actually need the Paint facility under GIF Construction Set, disable the Search for Paintbrush item in the Display tab of the GIF Construction Set setup window. This will disable the search each time GIF Construction Set starts up.
- You can download the installer for an older version of Paint from Microsoft's web page. There's a detailed discussion about doing so at our blog. This is by far our favorite way to resolve this issue, as the "classic" Windows Paint application is a good match for the sorts of tasks GIF Construction Set typically requires of its Paint function.
- You can install another Windows paint application under Wine and configure GIF Construction Set to use it whenever you click on Paint, as discussed in the GIF Construction Set Reference document in the Manual. Click on the ? button in the GIF Construction Set tool bar. Being mercenary capitalist swine, we'd suggest our e-Paint software.
You can install the current Alchemy Mindworks animation plugins under GIF Construction Set running on a Macintosh... and they'll largely work, too. One possible exception is the 3D Effects #1 plugin, which uses some features of Windows that don't appear to be entirely functional under some builds of Wine.
Wine installs with just enough simulated Windows to perform the basic functions of the Windows software environment. It lacks a number of the resources that real-world Windows software likes to have available — and that includes most of the Alchemy Mindworks applications.
There's a third-party script by Dan Kegel called Winetricks that will automatically install many of the things Wine lacks, all without requiring that you search the Internet for files and then figure out where to put them in your Wine directory structure. Winetricks is only slightly more complicated to use than a toothpick, and no trees were cut down to make it.
To use Winetricks, you'll need to:
- Download Winetricks — this is so obvious as to quite likely obviate the need to mention it, but someone would no doubt have complained if we hadn't.
- Install cabextract, a command that Winetricks assumes is part of Wine, and which in fact is not as of this writing.
Neither of these tasks is likely to tax the mind of a liberal politician — much — and they can be performed whilst deep in a coma for the rest of us.
You'll need to open a terminal window and navigate to your .wine directory, as discussed earlier in this article, to install and run Winetricks.
The procedure for installing cabextract varies a bit, depending upon the distribution of Linux you're using. Assuming you have Fedora, Debian or one of the other distributions that's supported by the yum package installer, type:
yum install cabextract
The cabextract program will be downloaded and installed. You can download cabextract from the cabextract web page if you need to install it manually.
Winetricks is actually an elaborate shell script. To install it on your system, type:
wget http://www.kegel.com/wine/winetricks
chmod +x winetricks
The Winetricks script will download to your .wine directory.
You can use Winetricks either as a command line program or through its interactive user interface. The first thing you should do is run Winetricks as a command line function to install the Windows standard TrueType fonts, which will make a lot of things look nicer under Wine. Here's how to do this:
sh winetricks corefonts
If you have a fair bit of hard drive space, you can install all the available Windows TrueType fonts like this:
sh winetricks allfonts
Having done this, it's a really good idea to install all the available Windows media codecs as well, like this:
sh winetricks allcodecs
This involves Winetricks downloading a number of things from Microsoft's web page. Microsoft's installers will pop up windows to let you specify where their contents should be installed. Be sure to accept the default locations for all of them.
If you didn't like the look of installing msvcp60.dll by hand, as discussed earlier in this article, you might want to have Winetricks do it for you:
sh winetricks vcrun6
Here are two more useful Winetricks commands:
sh winetricks mfc40
sh winetricks mfc42
These install two Windows libraries that are used by a number of third-party applications, including some of our plugins.
To see everything Winetricks can do, type:
sh winetricks
The Winetricks user interface will open. Select the objects you want to install and click on OK. It's a really good idea to make sure you understand what each of these things actually does before you install it.
You can find more about Winetricks at the Wine web page.
The following are the current Alchemy Mindworks applications and plugins, and their likelihood of getting along with Wine. This list pertains to the current releases of our software — many earlier editions were not huge fans of Wine.
The reality of running Windows software under Linux is that not everything Windows does, and hence Windows software expects, is available in the environment of Wine, or works absolutely as it does under Windows. The differences are slight, the issues are trivial... but this is more than enough reason for software to misbehave. Software lives for opportunities like this.

The foregoing represent our tests of our products under Wine, and should not be interpreted as an assurance or guarantee that they'll work for you. Please be sure to test the evaluation copies of the applications you're interested in on your Linux system before you register them.
In running Alchemy Mindworks software under Wine, it's important to keep in mind that you'll be using it in an environment for which it was not designed. Wine is a well-written Windows simulation, and its developers appear to be striving to improve it. None the less, the possibility remains that some of the functionality of our applications may not work correctly under Wine.
Unless you encounter a genuine software bug in our products, these issues pretty much always arise from a not-quite-perfect Windows-like environment, that is, Wine is still experiencing a few growing pains. For the most part, we're unable to provide assistance with Wine-related issues pertaining to our software.
We urge you to evaluate our products thoroughly if you intend to run them under Wine, and make sure that they'll do what you expect of them. Not to put too fine a point on it, if you register Alchemy Mindworks software and then decide that it doesn't get along with Wine, you're sunk.
You can always spot the pioneers... they're the ones with the arrows in their backs.

13. Zinc Retail $95.00 Multi Colored Stiletto The salon is located at 4518 South Cottage Grove, one of the few businesses on an entire block which is filled with vacant lots and properties that await urban renewal. Because the business is situated in the heart of a community that is on the rise, but has not yet risen, the amount of traffic trickling through the doors was not enough for Sensual Steps' determined owner. Nicole believes that women deserve to be pampered, catered to, and treated like royalty inside of the doors of the salon, but the implementation of a wonderful new invention takes the store outside of the Bronzeville community and expands its presence throughout the Metropolitan Chicagoland area. Thinking outside of the box to attract more customers to the salon, Nicole developed the Sensual Steps Shoe Soiree "Heels On Wheels," where a lavish, pink wrapped Hummer with elegant carpet and vibrant lights will pull up to any door step. This marketing design tantalizes guests with appetizers and wine, along with gentlemen representatives to help women make the perfect selection. Guests state that Nicole's innovative business provides "one of the most thrilling, exhilarating and unparalleled shoe experiences to date. Nicole Jones, proprietor of Sensual Steps Shoe Salon is an ordinary woman accomplishing extraordinary things. A graduate of DePaul University with a Bachelor of Arts in Business Management and Masters Degree in Urban Studies, she has also earned the Urban Public Policy Certificate of Graduate Studies at the University of Illinois. Nicole is the recipient of many awards and accolades, and has been an active community advocate for over fifteen years. She is committed to revolutionizing altruistic partnerships among businesses, passionately dedicating time to improve the lives of others and continuing to build viable, sustainable, and quality businesses within the community. As an active Bronzeville Chamber of Commerce (BCC) member, she works to recruit businesses into the organization and encourages engagement. She fosters solid working relationships with the businesses and develops networking opportunities that included everyone.

In TOKYO!, three visionary directors come together for an omnibus triptych examining the nature of one unforgettable city as it's shaped by the disparate people who live, work (and run amok) inside an enormous, constantly evolving, densely populated Japanese megalopolis — the ravishing and inimitable Tokyo. In the tradition of such films as NEW YORK STORIES, NIGHT ON EARTH, PARIS JE T'AIME and its forthcoming sequel NEW YORK I LOVE YOU, TOKYO! addresses the timeless question of whether we shape cities, or if cities shape us — in the process revealing the rich humanity at the heart of modern urban life.
Directed by: Michel Gondry, Leos Carax, Bong Joon-ho
Starring: Yû Aoi, Yosi Yosi Arakawa, Jean-François Balmer, Julie Dreyfus, Ayako Fujitani

Abstract: YI1.00001 : Novel Reactor Relevant RF Actuator Schemes for the Lower Hybrid and the Ion Cyclotron Range of Frequencies*
Preview Abstract Abstract
Paul Bonoli
(MIT Plasma Science and Fusion Center)
This paper presents a fresh physics perspective on the onerous problem of coupling and successfully utilizing ion cyclotron range of frequencies (ICRF) and lower hybrid range of frequencies (LHRF) actuators in the harsh environment of a nuclear fusion reactor. The ICRF and LH launchers are essentially first wall components in a fusion reactor and as such will be subjected to high heat fluxes. The high field side (HFS) of the plasma offers a region of reduced heat flux together with a quiescent scrape off layer (SOL). Placement of the ICRF and LHRF launchers on the tokamak HFS also offers distinct physics advantages: The higher toroidal magnetic field makes it possible to couple faster phase velocity LH waves that can penetrate farther into the plasma core and be absorbed by higher energy electrons, thereby increasing the current drive efficiency. In addition, re-location of the LH launcher off the mid-plane (i.e., poloidal ``steering'') allows further control of the deposition location. Also ICRF waves coupled from the HFS couple strongly to mode converted ion Bernstein waves and ion cyclotron waves waves as the minority density is increased, thus opening the possibility of using this scheme for flow drive and pressure control. Finally the quiescent nature of the HFS scrape off layer should minimize the effects of RF wave scattering from density fluctuations. Ray tracing / Fokker Planck simulations will be presented for LHRF applications in devices such as the proposed Advanced Divertor Experiment (ADX) and extending to ITER and beyond. Full-wave simulations will also be presented which demonstrate the possible combinations of electron and ion heating via ICRF mode conversion.

Educating Our Parents: Understanding the Belmont District Curriculum
In Language Arts, the curriculum focuses on how to read literary and informational texts, write for a range of purposes, use a writing process, and to listen and speak with critical thinking skills. Student learning in Math details the skills of numeracy, algebra, geometry and data analysis and the curriculum emphasizes that students become able to determine the best method to solve any mathematical problem.
In the Sciences, students are instructed in earth science, biology, chemistry, physics, environmental science and technology. Each of these areas helps students to develop certain types of thinking skills like interpretation, analysis, reasoning, problem-solving and process-oriented thinking. These allow students to approach more complex subjects as they progress.
Testimonials and Case Studies from Our Parents
SchoolTutoring Academy has played an important role in improving our son's confidence and attitude towards school. His grades have also improved steadily throughout the school year.
My daughter was very self-conscious about her difficulties with the math section of the SAT. SchoolTutoring Academy's Academic Directors created an action plan that boosted my daughter's score and confidence level.
SchoolTutoring Academy has not only improved my son's standardized test scores but also his high school math and English grades. Test Prep Academy has not only improved my son's standardized test scores but also his high school math and English grades.
SchoolTutoring Academy Increased My SAT Score By 200 Points
My son's math marks in high school have always been weak so I found it very beneficial that his ACT tutor worked on solidifying his fundamentals while prepping for the ACT.
SchoolTutoring Academy gave my daughter the confidence she needed to boost her SAT score Thank you!
SchoolTutoring has played an important role in improving our son's confidence and attitude towards school. His grades have also improved steadily throughout the school year.
My daughter was able to improve her test scores after a few months of tutoring with SchoolTutoring. However, while raising test scores is great, the real payoff is in the self-confidence that she gained.
I just wanted to send a quick note to say thank-you! My son is very impressed with his tutor and looks forward to each session. What's particularly amazing about this is our son has never really looked forward to math or school for that matter!
We are so happy with the results of your tutoring program and academic support. Homework time was such a stressful evening for the entire evening before we brought your tutors into our home. Thank you for all your help!
Our daughter, a first grader, struggled with basic reading and handwriting. When she began with SchoolTutoring she was almost a year behind her class. Within a year of being enrolled, she is reading above her grade level and has the confidence to match.

On Hold for Spring and Summer
Women's Bible Study
On Hold
The Women's Bible Study meets on Thursdays. We offer two options to fit your busy schedules: morning study meets at 9:30 a.m. and the evening study meets at 6:30 p.m. Childcare is provided.
Mon., Wed. & Fri. 8:45- 10:15 am
MetroFit is our Women's fitness ministry here at Metro. Our classes aim to train our bodies in the areas of stamina, strength, flexibility, balance, and general metabolic conditioning. Methods of training include ground based, complex, and functional cross-training. Workouts are fun, high energy, and designed for all levels of fitness. Everyone is welcome! If you would like to bring your children, childcare is provided for $10 per month.
Our heartfelt desire is to provide a welcoming and caring environment where women are encouraged to grow in their relationship with the Lord, apply God's Word to their lives, have a freedom to worship the Lord, and form meaningful friendships with other women. Through the opportunities we provide at Metro, we want to encourage, equip, and strengthen your faith so that you will become women of great faith and pillars in your homes and communities! Women's Ministry includes: Bible Studies, Luncheons, Conferences, Women's Dessert, and many other events in which to get involved and to serve!
Our Vision
Taken from Ephesians 3:17-19 is: That through faith in Christ, women, as they are rooted and established in love, may have the power to grasp how wide and long and high and deep the love of Christ is, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge — that they may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.
Our Belief
God is a "life changer." As women come to know His immeasurable love for them, their hearts will be touched and their lives changed. When women's lives are touched, the lives of their husbands, children, neighbors, friends, and communities are also touched!
Our Goal
Our goal is that through the ministry of the Holy Spirit and obedience to the Lord, the Women's Ministry at Metro will be used as an instrument through which God will affect women's lives. In the hustle and bustle of a woman's daily life, the study of God's Word and fellowship with other women are often neglected. The Women's Ministry of Metro seeks to reach out to women to help meet these needs!

Rep Mike Chippendale is already distancing himself from the State house event planned for 2pm today in which Congressman Pete Hoekstra (R-Mich), a former chairman of the House Intelligence Committee and Dr. Charles Jacobs, President of Americans for Peace and Tolerance, will call on Governor Gina Raimondo to reconsider her unconditional welcome to Syrian refugees. Listed in the original press release for the event, Chippendale disavowed any connection on Twitter, telling @jefflevy "I am not speaking at the press conference."
Charles Jacobs, who runs the Orwellian named Americans for Peace and Tolerance (APT). Founded in 2008 as a "pro-Israel" group, APT has actively worked against the interests of the Muslim community in Boston, fighting to prevent the opening of the Roxbury Islamic Center and mosque. Though Jacobs claims to represent the Jewish community in his antics, in 2011 a "group of seventy Rabbinical community leaders together published a letter in The Jewish Advocate… calling upon Jacobs, 'to discontinue his destructive campaign against Boston's Muslim community, which is based on innuendo, half-truths and unproven conspiracy theories.' The Jewish religious leaders also called 'upon members of our community to reject the dangerous politics of division that Mr. Jacobs fosters.'"
As for Representative Hoekstra, he's little more than a paranoid fear monger in the best tradition of Fox News. For just a taste of his batshittery, see here. Rest assured, there's much more.
Fortunately, Rhode Island, founded by religious refugees, is meeting the lies and hatred straight on. A counter protest is planned to coincide with the APT event at 2pm, and a multi-faith response to their demand that Governor Raimondo rescind her invitation is scheduled for directly after their event, at around 3-3:30pm.
The APT event is in the Bell room, the responses are planned for the main rotunda. Consider attending and showing support for the refugee families fleeing terrible violence, like this one:

The African Union (AU) has finally issued the first copies of the African passport, a flagship project of Africa's Agenda 2063 with the view to facilitate free movement of persons, goods and services around the continent – in order to foster intra-Africa trade, integration and socio-economic development.
The passport are currently issued to Heads of States and diplomats and is believed to have high security features. The first recipients were Chairperson of the African Union, Idris Deby Itno and Rwandan president Paul Kagame.
The document has five languages used for inscriptions on it, English, French, Arabic, Portuguese and Swahili.
The African Union logo is sandwiched between two sets of inscriptions. ''African Union'' translated into the other four languages at the top and below the logo ''Diplomatic Passport'' with corresponding translations.
The outgoing AU Chairperson said about the passport, "At the Summit in January 2016 this year, you decided that we must launch the African Passport. We are making this start with our Heads of State and Government, with Foreign Ministers, the leadership of the RECs and Organs.
But, we've been overwhelmed by requests, and enquiries of other Ministers, officials, and Africans citizens to share in this privilege of holding an African passport.
We will therefor suggest to the Summit for consideration, as we launch the African passport today, that we agree to create the conditions for Member states to issue the passport to their citizens, within their national policies, as and when they are ready.
It is therefore my distinct honour to present the African passports to the Chairperson of the African Union, His Excellency President Idriss Deby and to our Host, His Excellency President Paul Kagame.
Our teams during the cause of the two days shall capture the details of other Excellencies Heads of State and Government, so that you too shall receive your African passports," she concluded.
With all that said, Ethiopia having AU centered at the capital city, Addis Ababa for over 60 years years now besides having the OAU established Ethiopia, through its foreign policy and the relentless diplomatic works of its foreign minister of the time Ketema Yifru backed by Emperor Haile Selassie, played a vital role in the formation of the first continental organization – OAU.
Ethiopia being the only African country owning a language with its own phonetics, that is Amharic, also the second-most spoken Semitic language in the world, after Arabic, and the official working language of the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia and several of the states within the federal system isn't part of the newly launched African Passport with the 5 Language Inscriptions. Many Rastafarians ( pre-regnal title of Haile Selassie I, composed of the Amharic words Ras (literally "Head", an Ethiopian title equivalent to duke), and Haile Selassie's pre-regnal name, Tafari.) learn Amharic as a second language, as they consider it to be a sacred language. After Haile Selassie's 1966 visit to Jamaica, study circles in Amharic were organized in Jamaica as part of the ongoing exploration of Pan-African identity and culture.
Amharic has close to 22 million first-language speakers and 4 million second-language speakers worldwide, of which slightly over 21.6 million live in Ethiopia (Ethnologue). Yet again it did not make it on the African Passport along the other 5.
