Anna de Rijk @ Viva (Paris) It's not a matter of working at the top right in these few lines, it's a matter of positive evolution. Blossoming as we would say. The evolution of a character from the first stage in a career to the current level which might also be the actual level.

How many jobs do adobe is doing, third-party platform for web designer, and…and…and what? I used to be asked to install an flash while I want to watch an video online. With the emerging of html5, maybe this impression will become my beautiful memory. As ifunia lists in their official website, html5 can't replace adobe at once, because "74% of the web can't be seen on the iPad" (that means you have to convert videos by 3rd-party video converter like ifunia and handbrake), ipad needs help, let alone html5! So, adobe is necessary for our digital life all the same.Reply

We, the creators of Cronforce, spent many years as executives at world leading companies. In order to make the correct managerial decisions we spent most of our time with outdated home brewed tools, heavy and expensive enterprise stacks and daily engineering with spreadsheets. We believe our application can solve many managerial problems and leave all other solutions in the past.
Cronforce is a unique blend of business critical tools for small and medium sized businesses with powerful analytics. A one of a kind fusion of dashboards and business modules it provides you and your clients with real-time overview and reports of business and project developments. Time has never been so easy to capture be it working time or vacations and absences. Workforce planning and budget controlling save valuable manager time that was used before for cumbersome number crunching and project costing. The platform is running in the cloud so you can access data easily, anywhere and any time. Cronforce's genuine dashboards display real-time company critical information so that C-level execs, line managers and project managers can make educated decisions. There is no need to re-enter time, rates and project tasks from other software you already use. Cronforce integrates with your existing project management system, ERP and HR tools e.g. Jira, Basecamp, MS Navision, Peoplesoft. Our UIX experts take great care to optimize the product so that we crush the notion that enterprise software is old fashion, cluttered and hard to use. Effectively we facilitate day-to-day business and increase efficiency!
Modern organisations are agile, fast and open for change. Our ultimate goal is to enable executives to understand their organization in terms of time usage and resource utilization. We believe that this is the key to building AAA teams and viable high performing organization.

A Special Symbiosis
When for-profits and nonprofits partner, the mutual benefits pay off with cash, customers—and karma.
By Kathleen M. Mangan
With the right approach, engaging in community support can benefit your business as well as organizations close to your heart and community without draining your finances.
Smart retailers create and participate in community events, and donate product, gift cards and cash to groups to support their fundraising efforts, reported industry insiders. But constant solicitation requests create what Bob Negen, owner of WhizBang Training in Grand Haven, Mich., calls a "donation dilemma"—retailers want to do good, but they get nibbled to death and don't see a return.
"Cause marketing" is partnering with charitable and civic organizations, said Negen. How it works, he said, is a retailer organizes a special sales event for an organization and offers members a $5 or $10 gift certificate within a certain timeframe, adding that the store kicks back 10 to 20 percent of proceeds (less the amount of the gift certificate) to the organization, motivating members to attend the event and make purchases. Stores don't have the responsibility of the initial marketing, but they must convert the new customers into long-term loyal customers, he said.
"Everyone gets something—members get a discount on purchases, the organization makes more money than it would on a donated auction item, and the store gets future potential business," said Negen.
Be Cause, That's Why
There are many ways to leverage the cause marketing concept. Print gift certificates for the organization to distribute to members; host a private in-store event after hours for group members; distribute publicity photos to the media handing over a check; and capture email addresses so you can market to the new customers directly, said Negen. Be proactive in going after organizations you want to partner with, he added.
"I like the fact that cause marketing builds in reciprocity and accountability—if the organization wants money, they have to do the work," said Negen. "Plus you only pay to acquire customers when you actually acquire them. It makes sense to give up a one-time sales margin for a long-term customer."
AdreAnne Tesene, co-owner of Two Bostons Pet Boutique and Gourmet Bakery, with two locations in Naperville, Ill., combines cause marketing programs with a host of other community programs.
"We use events to promote the store," Tesene said. "We believe that if we support the community, they will support us," she said.
Upon receiving a donation request, Tesene gives the solicitor a menu of cause marketing programs from which the group can choose, ensuring the organization supports Two Bostons in return.
First on the list is a one-night party held on a Friday or Saturday night, featuring $5 gift certificates distributed to group members in advance and a donation to the group of 20 percent of sales that night above the $5 certificate. Second on the menu is Give-Back Week, donating 10 percent of sales to the group to drive people into the store. The Weekend-Before-Thanksgiving event is similar, but 20 percent of the sale is donated to whatever group the customer selects from a list.
Additional cause marketing programs at Two Bostons include partnering with rescues and shelters, providing $10 gift certificates to give to adopters and donating 10 percent of the first sale above the gift certificate back to the shelter. The store donates 10 percent of sales to employees at the local hospital to an animal therapy service. High schools host a dog wash outside the shop complete with cheerleaders, and there's a towel drive for a local shelter.
"We code transactions to measure results," said Tesene. "We feel good about each check we write to an organization."
Tesene also hosts feel-good events that don't have business-building objectives. There's a child/dog reading program, a food February collection event for shelters called "Share the Love," a birthday club that allows customers to buy a pet toy during the birthday month and get one free with an option to donate the free toy to a shelter, two free summer ice cream socials and a weekly group dog walk.
"There's no hidden reason for these events; we want to be involved with the community," Tesene said.
Jusak Bernhard, co-owner of TailsSpin, with three stores in the Savannah, Ga., area, lets nonprofit organizations take over the stores' self-service dog washes for fundraisers. Groups have made up to $500 in one day.
TailsSpin also hosts a pet care/adoption fair with manufacturer support attended by 2,000 people, offers low-cost vaccines, cosponsors a pet cancer awareness run with a running store, posts lost pets on its website, allows the chamber of commerce to hold networking events with pets at the store and provides prizes and dog wash coupons for charity auctions.
Bernhard said they measure event results by the amount of people who attend and their enjoyment.
"It's not about the money; we aim to enhance customer loyalty," he said.
What community event is the most fun for your store and generates the best customer feedback?
"During the annual 'Tourist in Your Town' event sponsored by the Greater Lansing Visitors Bureau we have a scavenger hunt inside the store so people can explore all the departments and learn about the animals. It attracts 3,000 people."—Rick Preuss, Preuss Pets, Lansing, Mich.
"We host photo sessions for pets with Santa and the Easter Bunny; then owners can download the image to use on their Christmas cards or Facebook page. Dogs get treats and their owners get a chance to win a $100 gift certificate. We partner with groups; one raised $1,600 at Easter."—AdreAnne Tesene, Two Bostons, Naperville, Ill.
"Our Pawrade, a pet costume parade at Halloween, is fun due to the creative costumes. We block off a street and get over 100 dogs in the event with about 2,000 spectators. We offer prizes and donate proceeds to pet charities."—Jusak Bernhard, TailsSpin, Savannah, Ga.
"Our K9 Awareness Day has a wow factor. It features specially trained dogs with their handlers demonstrating law enforcement, fire and drug interception skills. Over 3,000 people attend; a radio remote broadcast generates enthusiasm. We produce special bags of heart-shaped biscuits with a picture of each dog-handler team on the bag, and proceeds go to the group. People can have their photo taken with dogs and handlers too. It raises awareness and money for the teams and supports our customers' love of animals."—Curt Jacques, West Lebanon Feed & Supply, West Lebanon, N.H.
The Community You Keep
Rick Preuss, co-owner of Preuss Pets in Lansing, Mich., said any successful retailer must be community minded. However, he admits you often have to be creative to afford it. To fund support efforts, he built a river in the middle of the store, and kids can buy a packet of fish food for a dollar to feed the fish.
The store collects $10,000 a year from this program and divides it among local organizations at the end of the year.
Preuss also believes in educating kids about animal care and encouraging ownership by supporting animals and fish kept in classrooms, and by running school programs. For donation requests, he provides a voucher for an in-store birthday party with a $100 value to bring kids and their parents into his fun store environment and meet various animals.
Community support for Animal Jungle in Virginia Beach, Va., is also focused on school programs. Owner Bob Hames said store staff stock and clean aquariums in classrooms, and bring animals to schools for learning opportunities. They distribute custom coloring books to the kids with coupons for $2 in Jungle Bucks toward a $10 purchase and offer teacher discounts.
Hames said he gets about five donation requests a day. Sometimes he asks manufacturers for prizes to raffle or donates a closeout item for the write-off, $5 gift cards or $2 Jungle Bucks coupons on a $10 purchase. He also donates out-of-date food to a private shelter and provides $5 gift certificates to people who adopt pets from shelters.
"Everything we do we hope to get sales out of it," Hames said, adding he also aims to enhance image and give back to the community.
Dave Ratner, owner of Dave's Soda & Pet City with seven stores in Western Massachusetts, says community presence is important for retailers.
He recommends participating in every parade, event and home show within five miles of the store. He also advises owners to speak at local business events. His stores participate in school career days, Boy Scout field trips and adoption programs with shelters.
"You are the brand, and your customers need to trust you," he said.
"Supporting causes increases awareness, makes customers feel good and makes us feel good too," said Curt Jacques, co-owner of West Lebanon Feed & Supply in West Lebanon, N.H. "It's not a sales/publicity stunt; we care about our community."
Jacques admits there's always a bump in sales during events, especially when the store partners with a nonprofit and markets to its list. The organization distributes a sales circular eight times a year highlighting a charity on the cover. A percentage of proceeds during the 10-day sale supports the charity, and the group is present to tell its story and do demonstrations.
At Christmas, local nonprofits post their wishes on a giving tree, and customers can take the tag off the tree and bring it to the register to ring it up, while shelf talkers add encouragement. Its Fill the Truck with Food event cosponsored by the local humane society has a radio remote broadcast, an email campaign, newspaper advertising and bag stuffers to encourage the community to buy food, offered at a discount.
"You can support the community out of the goodness of your heart, or you can use it to build business," said Negen, who emphasizes you must find what works for you and your market.

What good is a waterproof car cover if it doesn't allow your car to breathe underneath it? There are a lot of things that can happen to a car if it does not have enough breathing space underneath car covers of your choice. Covers for cars are important especially when you do not have a garage. However, there are some covers that are good for cars and then others that may further damage them. This is where the argument between which cover for cars is better, the breathable covers or the non-breathable fully waterproof covers come in. Here are some pros and cons that each of these two kinds of car covers has. These might help you decide which among them to choose from when you decide on buying a good, high-quality cover that can thoroughly protect your precious automobile. One of the pros of getting a breathable cover for vehicles is that it quickly dries up any condensation or moisture that forms in the car as it does its job of covering it. Moisture can easily corrupt the parts of the car that are made of steel, leading it to rust so easily. It can also slowly eat up the paint job on your car when the car is moist for a long period of time, perhaps even after the rain has gone. Any car owner would like to avoid this which is why they would choose to get the breathable car covers over the non-breathable waterproof ones. 100% waterproof covers for cars do not have any room underneath it left for cars to breathe from.
A breathable cover does not protect a car from water or moisture like how the 100% waterproof covers do. This is the only con for breathable covers for cars although many would still prefer these because of their ability to dry the moisture quickly before any type or kind of corrosion occurs in the car. Your car would still get wet even if you decide to go for the breathable covers. 100% waterproof covers can lead moisture and condensation to form and remain on the car after rains, leading these wet or moist portions of the car to slowly corrode. This is something that one needs to take note when choosing between a car cover that is fully waterproof and those that allow your car some breathing space. It is important to zero in on the moisture that may or may not form on your vehicle with its cover on because this is what easily destroys its paint job and such. You'll have to choose wisely between these two kinds of covers when you want your car to continue looking new in the following few days, weeks and even months. Now that you have learned moisture is an important factor to note when buying car covers, then you can start looking for the right cover to buy. When choosing between the two kinds of car cover, make sure that you know your car well and how moisture can affect it in a certain period of time. Getting any of these two covers can help you maintain the good condition of your vehicle.
The days and weeks following a serious car accident can be something of a blur. Between doctor's visits, insurance adjusters, car body shops and police reports, accident victims often find themselves plunged into a world that they are not used to dealing with. Slowly but surely the paperwork starts to get filed and their desk starts to clear off. They begin trying to deal with their life post-accident and discover that, though their car may be fixed and be as good as new, they themselves are not. They are still injured and unable to work, and that's when they often find that they are not going to be covered for the full extent of their auto accident injury. An auto accident injury can be a life-changing event. Neck and back problems can lead to headaches, blurred vision, and pain that prevents you from living your life the way that you had before the accident. In some cases, you may be able to resume working but in some cases, you may not. While your auto insurance will cover the damages to your car, and your medical insurance may cover the medical care that you require, there is no insurance that will cover your loss of wages and pay you for the pain and suffering that you may wind up enduring.

They can help you gather they proper records and put together the right information to enable you to win your suit and get the financial settlement that you deserve and will need to stay financially afloat in the event that you can no longer work. Most attorneys have contingency payment arrangements available so that you can afford to hire the attorney that you need, at the time that you need them.

The only way to go about getting the money you deserve is to hire a good injury attorney. A qualified car accident lawyer will offer a free consultation and have services available on a contingency basis. The right car accident lawyer A can help you determine the best way to get the settlement that you deserve. Car seat covers are widely used today in different types of vehicles. The materials used in making these products also varies. There are covers that are made from synthetic materials, leather, or simply general fabric. These vary in terms of prices, durability and level of comfort. If quality is your top priority, then you should be looking at covers that are made from the material Neoprene. This material is highly resistant to stains and dust which are common concerns in car. There are some designs that include a foam lining for better insulation and cushioning.
Aside from materials, these covers also vary in terms of the way you attach them in the seats. You can have the option to use zippers, buttons, and even velcro fasteners. Usually, the products are available in the stores are the standard versions. They are suitable for various types of seats. But there are cases where you may prefer a more customized version to fit your needs. This is where a custom fit design for your cover comes in. The main purpose of these covers is to protect your seats from spills, sweats, and other unwanted stuff. But the aesthetic value and design along with comfort are also factors that you should consider. Also, there are situations when these types of covers are used depending on the season. For example, during the warmer seasons, they are a great way to keep seats from drying up. For those who have pets, quality covers will also come in handy. The covers will prevent fur from building up in the seats. Most pets have claws which also poses as a threat to the seats. They will also help protect the seats from scratches. For those who have young children and infants, there are also seat covers that are designed for these cases. The infant car seats may provide your child more comfort as it also helps regulate the temperature of the seats. This is great for long road trips as it helps your child rest better with longer sleeps.
Now a days due to the growth of the Internet industry, it is easier to compare cars before deciding about buying one. Earlier people used to depend on the recommendations of their friends and relatives for deciding about buying a car. The media industry was also not very developed earlier. The only television channel at that time Doordarshan did not broadcast any program on the auto industry. Newspapers also did not cover information or news about new automobile launches. There was no magazine about the auto industry then. There was no other source of information about new cars. Before 1990 even the auto industry was not well developed and there were few options in the market. This had resulted in no competition in the market. It was bad for automobile buyers as they did not have many choices for buying cars. After the economic liberalization policy of the early 1990s the auto industry started to grow fast. Various auto companies came to India to launch their products. Now there was much competition in the market. Many new four wheelers were getting launched regularly. All major four wheeler players like Ford, Honda, Hyundai, Toyota, General Motors etc are present in the market now. Indian car buyers also have many options if they want to buy new cars. All major car models are available in the Indian car market. Recently the iconic car Volkswagen Beetle was also launched.
The growth of the auto industry has inspired media houses in the country to launch various products related to the industry. Now there are many magazines about the auto industry. National newspapers regularly cover news and events related to the industry. Television channels have also started to cover all kinds of events related to the sector. Many Internet firms have launched various auto websites covering news and information about the auto industry. These websites also offer the facility to compare various cars and do other research about vehicles before deciding about buying a certain car. This way any user can easily research thoroughly before deciding about the car to buy. Especially the facility to compare cars is very useful for car lovers.

Fast-paced jobs
Car dealerships are selling cars at neck-breaking speeds. Now, Toyota is hiring new workers to meet the demand.
Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin recently announced Toyota Motor Manufacturing of West Virginia (TMMWV) is investing $90 million in its Buffalo plant and creating about 80 jobs.
"West Virginia's great story of investment and opportunity for our people and you-our businesses. In just two years' time, TMMWV team members will increase production from half-a-million transmissions to 740,000 transmissions each year. It's a huge undertaking, but I know they will rise to the challenge," Tomblin said. "TMMWV team members' hard work, the quality product they produce, and our state's commitment to creating a business climate that encourages the private sector to create jobs, led to this latest job growth and investment decision."
This investment makes the eighth expansion of the Putnam County facility since it opened back in 1996. TMMWV will increase 6-speed automatic transmission assembly and machining by 20,000 per month by early 2015. Currently, 1,300 people are employed at the Buffalo plant.

Since the beginning, Captain America has been about transformation. Growing up as a sickly young boy with Polio, young Steve Rogers was desperate to do his part to make the world a better place. When he witnessed the rise of fascism in Europe he begged to join the Army and fight alongside the brave men who opposed Hitler. Hearing his pleas, Doctor Abraham Erskine offered Steve a chance to become a super-solder, a living weapon against evil.
The rest, of course, is comic book history. But with such a major transformation taking place as a part of his origin it's no surprise that writers have used the theme of transformation again and again - sometimes with some disturbing results. Here are Captain America's 15 Weirdest Transformations!
15 Red Skull Cap: Body Swap Shenanigans
Captain America #115
There's nothing worse than waking up in the morning and seeing your worst enemy looking back at you in the mirror. That's exactly what happened to Captain America back in Captain America #115. The Red Skull, using the Cosmic Cube, had swapped bodies with Cap and made the Avengers and Sharon Carter fall for the ruse.
On the run, and trying to evade his comrades as well as the authorities, Cap was helpless as The Red Skull set about dismantling his life while wearing his face. The Red Skull began to tarnish Steve's reputation as well as severing his partnership with Rick Jones, who had been using the Bucky identity as Cap's sidekick.
The Red Skull sent Cap to Exile Island. The Red Skull had betrayed the inhabitants of the island some time before, and decided that if they were to murder Cap while wearing the body of The Skull, it would rid him of his enemy and tie up a loose end at the same time. Cap was able to disguise himself using mud as a crude form of clay face-mask using his skills as an artist and allied himself with another castaway on the island, Sam Wilson a.k.a Falcon. Falcon became Cap's new partner, beginning a life-long friendship. Cap was then able to claim his body back with Falcon's help.
14 Weakling Cap: Losing the Super-Soldier Serum
Captain America #225
This storyline is notorious for retconning Captain America's origins, only to be undone and re-retconned one issue later. The in-story explanation for this was that Nick Fury gave Cap an intensive form of therapy to recall his true origins. Cap learned that he had an older brother who died at Pearl Harbour, and this prompted Steve to join the Army.
The trauma of this revelation caused the super-soldier serum to fail, and Steve briefly reverted to his weakling form. This was later revealed to be a false set of memories, mainly because Captain America predated Pearl Harbour anyway, and "Nick Fury" was revealed to be an imposter in the employ of The Red Skull. The real Nick had been transformed into a facsimile of The Red Skull as Skull had hoped Steve would kill Nick by mistake.
The real-world explanation for this particular story is simple. Writer Steve Gerber left the book with issue #225. Incoming writer Roger McKenzie had other plans for Cap so quickly undid his predecessor's work in order to begin his own stories free of Cap's new origin.
13 Old Man Cap: Aging to His True Age
Captain America #300
Another story that didn't end as intended came at the end of J.M DeMattis' classic run with Captain America facing off against The Red Skull once more. Originally, Cap was going to have a change of heart about his role and become a pacifist. In DeMattis' original idea, Steve was going to make a speech about putting down arms and be assassinated for his new views, with new character Black Crow taking the role of Captain America.
The storyline was re-written as the editorial staff didn't like the new direction and the run ended with Red Skull poisoning Cap, causing Cap to age rapidly to reflect the age he would be had he not been frozen in ice for decades. Red Skull was also aging due to a flaw in the suspended animation process which had kept him alive after the end of WW2. Skull killed one of Cap's friends, hoping Cap would then kill him, as he wished to die by the hands of his greatest enemy in a fair fight as opposed to a slow death in a decaying body.
Skull did seemingly die, but Cap refused to kill him. As Cap himself seemed poised to die from a combination of age and the physical trauma he had just endured, Black Widow turned up in the nick of time with a cure which restored Cap to his prime once more.
12 Barbarian Cap
Uncanny X-Men #190-191
During Chris Claremont's now-legendary run on Uncanny X-Men during the '80s, there was a short companywide crossover involving the Conan villain, Kulan Gath. Years previously, Kulan Gath had transformed Mary Jane Watson into Red Sonja, and this time he had transformed the whole city of New York to resemble the time of Conan.
All the heroes in New York, including Cap, Spider-Man, The Avengers, and the X-Men, were transformed into barbarian-like figures with no memory of their pasts. However, they retained their basic personalities, so Cap remained heroic, despite now looking like a barbarian. It's interesting to note that despite his barbarian appearance, and having no memory of his life, Cap still fought with his unbreakable shield.
Cap and the Avengers fought alongside the X-Men and defeated Kulan Gath, restoring New York to normal. Cap seemingly hung up the loincloth for good, but time will tell if we ever get to see him in this guise again.
11 Teen Cap: Reverted to Teenage Self by Sersi
Captain America #355
Steve Rogers had only just taken back the role of Captain America when he was contacted by a former girlfriend, Bernie Rosenthal. Bernie was looking for her missing sister and begged Steve to help her. Cap learned that there had been numerous teens disappearing and asked his ally Sersi (who would go on to become an Avenger shortly after this) to use her transmutation power to make Steve a teenager once more planning to go undercover. Sersi obliged, but her power had an unforeseen side-effect. Steve did indeed become a teenager once more, but his body went back to how it had when he was a weak teenager before the super-serum cured him of Polio.
After spending time pretending to be a runaway, teen-Cap came across the culprits. One of the agents who had been kidnapping teens and brainwashing them to become killers was the Red Skull's insane daughter. Fortunately, the spell Sersi had cast was temporary and he reverted to normal while taking a beating. He then freed the youths and ended the crisis.
10 Lady Cap: Cross-Dressing Fun
Captain America #387-392
In possibly the funniest of Cap's many transformations, Cap goes undercover on a cruise ship for women and blends in despite his impressive, and very manly, physique.
In a plot by the villain Superia, Cap's girlfriend, Diamondback as well as Black Mamba and Asp, were taken aboard a ship full of female super-villains. Superia's plan was to cause every woman on earth to become infertile, except those on the ship. Superia believed that all women born thereafter would be super-powered due to selective breeding from this "prime" stock. It's worth pointing out that Superia is bat-crap crazy.
Captain America and Paladin attempt to end the plot, but are captured and put in a device intended to turn them into women. They escape, thanks to Black Mamba and Asp, but are forced to go undercover as women until they can defeat Superia.
Despite Cap's complaining about having to dress as a woman, it wasn't the first time he'd done it. But we'll get to that.
9 RoboCap
During the "Fighting Chance" storyline, Cap discovers that the super-soldier serum was breaking down as it was never intended to last forever. Cap was not only getting progressively weaker, but the loss of the serum was also killing him. With months to live, Cap decided to use what time he had left to train a new generation of patriotic heroes to stand in for him after he died. He selected Jack Flagg and Free Spirit to carry on his legacy.
As Cap's body became progressively weaker, he asked Tony Stark to build him an armor system similar to Iron Man's in order to keep fighting for as long as possible. This robo-cap suit kept Steve in the fight long enough for Superia to find a cure for Steve's degeneration. However, as the Red Skull was in a body cloned from Steve's at the time, he was also suffering the same problem and stole the formula for himself. Luckily, the Red Skull decided to share the cure as he needed Cap alive, but he would attempt to kill him many times in the following years.
8 Heroes Reborn Cap
Captain America #1: Heroes Reborn Era
In the epic final battle against the monstrous psychic entity, Onslaught, Captain America alongside the other Avengers, Fantastic Four, and even Doctor Doom, were apparently sacrificed to defeat the villain. Unknown to all present at the time, Franklin Richards, the son of Reed and Sue from the Fantastic Four, used his reality-warping powers to create a universe inside our own where he re-created the fallen heroes.
For a year, the heroes underwent their origin stories once more, albeit with many changes, and became heroes, saving the world from Galactus among others. Eventually, the heroes were saved when Franklin and a Celestial journeyed into Franklin's universe and returned the heroes to their universe of origin.
When Cap returned, the United States leapt into a fervour and for a time, Cap-merchandise was sold throughout the Marvel Universe.
7 House Of M Cap
After the events of Avengers Disassembled, The Scarlet Witch once again messed with reality, this time at the urging of her brother, Quicksilver. In the world Scarlet Witch creates, most of her friends and family appear to get their heart's desires. Cap, never having been frozen at the end of WW2, gets to live his life as he had been supposed to, becoming an astronaut in America's space program. He also stood up to, and became a victim of, senator Joseph McCarthy's anti-mutant witch-hunt.
In this reality, Cap spoke out against Magneto's ruling class of mutants but didn't have the power to challenge the status quo of the world. By the beginning of the story, Steve is an old man, living in retirement reflecting on when he stood up against another tyrant many years previously. When Wolverine, Luke Cage, and Cyclops begin recruiting heroes to stand against Magneto, they leave Steve out of it as he cannot help them in the form of the 90-year-old man.
When the House of M fell, and reality was restored, Steve was once more a man in his prime.
6 Medieval Cap: Heroes Return
Avengers #1-3
After returning to earth following the Heroes Reborn universe, Cap joined with several other Avengers to discuss re-forming the team. Before they could, several mystical attacks occurred across the world, with many Avengers intervening. Cap, alongside the other heroes at the mansion, called in every Avenger (apart from Hulk who refused to answer the call) to face this new threat.
It became apparent that the Avengers were being used as pawns by the sorceress Morgan LeFay, who used a combination of the Norn Stones, the Twilight Sword, and Scarlet Witch's reality-warping to re-make the world into a twisted version of the time of Camelot.
Cap, along with the other Avengers, was transformed into a servant of Morgan LeFay, with no memory of his previous life. Eventually, Cap's will was strong enough to shake off the spell and he managed to free several other Avengers, forming a resistance and freeing the world.
5 Cap-Wolf
Captain America #402-407
In one of Captain America's most famous transformations, Cap enlists Avengers team-mate Doctor Druid to investigate a town seemingly full of werewolves, while also searching for his friend and team-mate John Jameson. Feral characters from across the world, including X-Force's Feral and the X-Men's Wolverine were drawn there too, seemingly by mystical means.
It turned out that the villain Nightshade had set up events to draw out John Jameson, who was in possession of the Moonstone. Nightshade, along with Desmond the Druid, planned to use the Moonstone to become the ultimate werewolf, known as Star-Wolf.
Nightshade used a mind-controlled Wolverine to infect Cap with a serum which turned Cap into a werewolf too. However, Cap soon took control of the "pack" of werewolves and fought back. With the timely assistance of Cable, there to locate Feral, the heroes were able to defeat the villains, and Cap was restored to humanity.
4 Spider-Cap
Amazing Spider-Man #666
The Queen, a mutant experimented on by the government and driven insane, had a long history with both Spider-Man and Captain America. In Cap's case, she had befriended him during the war but went into hiding after Cap was presumed dead. In Spider-Man's case, she had further mutated him before as her power enabled her to alter the form of anyone with the so-called "Spider-Gene".
Having been defeated by Spider-Man and Captain America some time before, The Queen teamed up with The Jackal to alter the genetics of the entire population of New York via a virus transmitted by bedbugs.
The citizens of New York initially gained Spider-Powers, but soon transformed into giant, unthinking, spider monsters who served The Queen. Due to their shared history, The Queen singled out Captain America and turned him into a giant spider-king figure similar to the form she had mutated Kaine into. When Horizon Labs found a cure, Cap was once more restored to human form and alongside Venom, Kaine, and Spider-Man took down the Queen.
3 Hulkified
This particular transformation actually happened to James "Bucky" Barnes who was the then-current Captain America. When Bruce Banner stormed the hellicarrier in an effort to thwart the Intelligencia, the bad guys siphoned off gamma energy from Red Hulk to create the "Hulked-Out Heroes" including Deadpool, Thor, Spider-Man, and Bucky-Cap.
Captain America and Wolverine were both affected by the gamma radiation and recalled a time during the war when they were allies, and then a time after when Bucky was brainwashed and acting as the Winter Soldier. Wolverine recalled as Bucky stood by and watched as Wolverine was experimented on and tortured. Wolverine, in his hulked-out form, proved to be too much for even a hulked-out Cap and beat him into submission before leaving him tied up in the streets, broken and humiliated.
As with the other hulked-out heroes, Cap was returned to normal when Banner took back the errant gamma-radiation.
2 Hydra Cap
During a battle against the forces of The Red Skull, Steve was restored to his powered form after once again being transformed into an older, powerless, form. Back to full strength, Steve once again adopted the title of Captain America, but insisted that Sam Wilson also remain in the red white and blue, reasoning that there was room for two Captain Americas. He even insisted that Sam keep the shield as he was doing good work with it.
However, the now-sentient Cosmic Cube was now bonded to the Red Skull and used its reality-altering powers to please him. When the Cube restored Cap to his true form, she altered Cap's history by making him a believer in the Red Skull's philosophy and a sleeper-agent serving Hydra. As of yet, this storyline has yet to be resolved, with Cap still serving Hydra and further infiltrating the Avengers. What damage he can and will do remain a mystery.
1 Old Lady Cap
Captain America #3
In a Joe Simon and Jack Kirby classic, Captain America and Bucky dress up as an old woman and her grandson in order to sneak behind enemy lines in Nazi-occupied Europe. Their mission was to rescue a rich and powerful American businessman who was about to pledge a fortune to the British war effort before his capture.
Cap walked around Paris, dressed as a woman, and commented that he would like to come back and help fight the Nazis once his mission was complete. For some reason, even when alone, Cap maintained his guise as a woman, implying that he may not have objected to the disguise all that much.
Eventually, it was discovered that the businessman had been replaced with a doppelganger, who was going to pledge his fortune to the Nazis instead. Cap and Bucky uncovered this plot, and traveled to Berlin and rescued the original. The mission was a success, and Cap returned to his regular guise, not before Bucky got to punch out Hitler though.

To live is to give life meaning, yet one must take others' lives to survive... Terra's souls will sleep until they forget such nonsense. They will begin a new life in a new dimension. It's a world in which life and death become one... That is the dimension in which we are meant to live, as beings that transcend life and death!
Garland is the secondary antagonist of Final Fantasy IX who works behind the shadows. Before Garland reveals his identity, he is known to the player as Old Man. He is an elderly-looking man in dark armor with great knowledge and mystical powers.
Profile Edit
Appearance Edit
Garland appears as an old man with pallid skin and pointy ears. His hair is long and white although he is mostly bald. He has a mustache and a beard and white eyebrows. His head is the only organic-looking part of him, as his body is mechanically constructed from black armor-like material, and he has long pointy robotic hands. His torso is hollow with a shining red orb implanted into his chest cavity. He wears a long black cape.
Personality Edit
Garland is devoted to his mission, wishing to see the planet of Terra revived and has been working tirelessly for thousands of years to this end. There is nothing else in life he cares for, and he has no special attachments to any living individuals. Garland has a paranoid streak, as he is known to take drastic measures to ensure his plans will be carried out without hindrance, preferring to take preemptive action to future obstructions he sees lying on his path.
He is led into clashes of ever-growing intensity with Kuja, who is not pleased with his role in Garland's grand scheme after Garland makes it clear he only sees Kuja as a pawn for his master plan. Garland appears emotionless, as neither destruction nor companionship elicit much response from him. The only pangs of remorse he feels are when it comes to the mistakes he has made in carrying out his mission. The only emotion he seems capable of is fear, stating that he fears the eidolons.
Upon their confrontation Zidane asks if Garland has any goals or desires of his own. Garland does not mention any, implying that his free will is limited. However, after Kuja destroys Terra, the Terran souls held in stasis are forced to be reincarnated by the crystal, making Garland's programmed purpose a failure. Garland assists Zidane's party in saving the crystal from Kuja; this may have been done of his own free will, especially after he can no longer fulfill his goal to revive his creators.
Story Edit
Life is connected, one to another... If you trace the root of all life, there exists one source. The same can be said for memory. All life constitutes an intelligence that holds memory beyond experience.
Garland appears to be an android created by the Terrans to accomplish their plans of "survival" five thousand years ago. Terra had always assimilated other planets to survive, and when the world was dying, the Terrans sought for a newborn planet to merge with. No such planet was found in time, and the Terrans made the risky decision to fuse with the young planet of Gaia. The Terrans entrusted Garland with their plans and slept, their souls placed in dormant bodiless state in Pandemonium.
Garland attempted to fuse Terra's crystal with Gaia's, but Gaia's crystal rejected the process, and the fusion failed with disastrous results, leaving Gaia's surface in ruin and shifting the world of Terra inside the world of Gaia. Garland transplanted the magical Iifa Tree from Terra onto Gaia's surface to oversee the planet's recovery, but it would take thousands of years for Gaia to recover from the disaster.
According to the Final Fantasy IX Ultimania[2], Garland started creating Genomes around 3000 years ago. The Genomes were to be vessels for the Terran souls to live again, once the fusion would be complete. To control the cycle of souls in Gaia, Garland used the Iifa Tree to prevent the Gaian souls from returning to the planet, trapping them within Iifa's roots. Later, Garland constructed the Soul Divider at the Iifa Tree's base that allowed the souls of Terra to flow into Gaia instead.
The rejected Gaian souls were expelled through the Iifa Tree's roots to the continent where civilization had taken root, and the anguished souls manifested as Mist, leading to the continent being known as the Mist Continent. The presence of Mist had a hardening effect on the people who had to live among it. Though the people of the Mist Continent chose to migrate to higher ground to escape the Mist, its presence still brought forth many wars and conflicts. This was all according to Garland's plan, who wanted to speed up the rate in which Gaian souls would attempt to return to the planet.
After the advent of airships that fly using the power of the Mist, the wars that had plagued the Mist Continent came to a stop, and the planet's soul cycle returned to normal. Garland's plan was to construct a Genome with a mind of its own whom he could send to Gaia to incite war and destruction. He named this Genome Kuja and sent him to hasten the Iifa Tree's soul dividing process by killing more Gaians.
Kuja's role as the Angel of Death was not meant to last, due to Garland initially viewing him a failure. Garland created another Genome, Zidane, to eventually replace him. Kuja, jealous of Zidane but unaware of his own mortality, kidnapped Zidane and abandoned him in Gaia. As punishment, Garland banished him from returning to Terra.
The summoners' tribe living in the town of Madain Sari on Gaia had mastered the art of summoning eidolons. Garland, fearing their power, ordered Kuja to destroy the summoners' village. Garland created another Genome, Mikoto, to replace Zidane, whom he thought was lost.
When Kuja begins his plan to control the eidolons, beginning with Bahamut and Alexander, Garland can no longer tolerate Kuja's rebellion and travels to Gaia to stop his subject's schemes. Garland wrests control of the Invincible from Kuja and destroys both Alexander and the town of Alexandria, leaving Kuja to formulate a new plan involving the power of Trance.
When Zidane arrives in Terra, Garland reveals everything about the purpose of his existence. Zidane refuses to accept his destiny as an Angel of Death, so Garland imprisons him within Pandemonium. Zidane's friends convince him that he has control of his own life, and together they confront Garland on the highest ledge of his fortress. As Zidane presses him for more answers, Kuja arrives on the Invincible, touting his new soul-driven powers.
Rendering the party unconscious with a blast of Ultima, Kuja turns on Garland, intending to gain total control of Terra and Gaia. Garland wearily informs Kuja that his powers would come to nothing, and in a fit of rage Kuja kicks Garland to his death off Pandemonium's ledge.
Garland retains his presence as a formless, omniscient voice. He reveals Kuja's mortality, pushing him over the edge. In Memoria, Garland assists Zidane, the only one who can hear him, with advice about the origins and nature of Gaia, Terra, and the crystal: that which is the source of all life. In the void of space, before the entrance to the Crystal World, Garland's presence fades away, asking Zidane to take care of Kuja and protect the crystal. In his last words, Garland expresses no regrets for being created as a savior to a world which would perish by his creation's hands.
Gameplay Edit
The party fights Garland as a boss in Pandemonium.
Musical themesEdit
Garland's theme is known as the "Master of Time" (時の管理者, Toki no Kanrisha?).

Garland appears in Final Fantasy Trading Card Game.
Gallery Edit
Etymology and symbolism Edit
Garland is named after the villain of the original Final Fantasy. A garland is a wreath of flowers worn on the head, usually given to great military heroes in ancient Greece and Rome, not unlike the medals of today are. They were also sometimes left on the graves of fallen soldiers. In reference to Garland, the name may be symbolic, as he was a great hero who had "fallen" (corrupted by evil), possible a reference to the original Garland being killed in the first dungeon the player completes in Final Fantasy. The name may also stem from a garland being something that forms a loop, alluding to the time loop in which the first Garland in Final Fantasy becomes involved.
Garland's story arc about going to extremes to ensure the success of his creators' mission to revive Terra and lacking any attachment to his creation takes from Japanese cultural views, in particular the concepts in Zen Buddhism, Neo-Confucianism and Shintoism regarding how one should not be overly-conformist due to it ultimately rendering them soulless (a stark contrast to his rival and "son" Kuja who insists on remaining eternal regardless of what happens to anyone else, and to a lesser extent Zidane Tribal, who was merely content with where he fits in once finding it).
Trivia Edit
- Garland is a reference to the antagonist from the original Final Fantasy. The use of the Four Fiends is one of the similarities between the two. Concept art shows that Garland was originally going to bear more of a resemblance to Garland from the original Final Fantasy.
- Kuja kicking Garland off the edge of Pandemonium resembles to an event in Final Fantasy VI where Kefka ejects Gestahl over the edge of the Floating Continent, including the presence of the player party as witnesses, as well as both Kefka and Kuja betraying what could best be called their creators and mentors.
- A subtle allusion to Garland is present in Dissidia, when Kuja briefly clashes with Garland in a cutscene. Both Kuja's and Zidane's opening battle quotes to Garland have a level of animosity not explained by the events of Dissidia.
- Garland's role and appearance is similar to Fusoya from Final Fantasy IV. Both are caretakers for their sleeping species and are old, white-bearded men with great magical prowess. They both reside on red planets/moons, and serve similar roles to the two sibling pairs Cecil Harvey/Golbez and Zidane/Kuja. He also shares similarities to Zemus, as he intends to populate a planet with his own kind.

Our Capacity to Deliver
"I recently met with a group of Indigenous Scholars about to head overseas on the Aurora Indigenous Scholars Study Tour. It was truly inspiring to meet them. I have always been passionate about changing the tide of low expectations for Indigenous students, and these young people symbolized the high hopes and expectations we should have for our Indigenous students. I think this trip is an example of a real vision being realised through the work of Aurora."

A new Conservative government would ensure that no public sector manager could earn more than 20 times that of their lowest paid employee, he said.
It is part of Mr Cameron's attempt to show that he is prepared to get tough with the public sector to reduce spending.
Mr Cameron's comments came as the efficiency adviser he is relying on to fund his key tax cut said his savings plans would mean cutting the public sector pay bill by up to £2 billion a year, which could cost 40,000 jobs.
Sir Peter Gershon set out details of the savings drive that the Tories say would fund their plans to reduce national insurance next year.
Under Mr Cameron's plans, it is unclear how many bosses on the state payroll the move would affect, but could be up to 200.
And it is understood that the BBC – which has been subject to widespread criticism about its salary levels - would not be included in the plan.
There are also likely to be questions about how some of Mr Cameron's closest advisers are paid. If they were not subject to an exemption they could be among the first to be hit by the plan if they follow Mr Cameron into Downing Street.
Ed Richards, the head of media regulator Ofcom, would be likely to face a pay cut. The Tories have repeatedly targeted Ofcom as a quango they would reform and they see Mr Richards, a former adviser to Tony Blair, as a political placeman.
Mr Richards earns £392,056 a year, which is 22 times higher than the estimated lowest full-time salary in his quango, £18,000.
Among those whose whose salaries would be safe under the Tory plans are the highest-paid police chief, Met Commissioner Sir Paul Stephenson, who earns £253,620, 11 times the lowest police salary of £22,680. And Mervyn King, the Governor of the Bank of England, whose salary of £296,818 is 19 times higher than the lowest bank employee, would not be forced into a pay cut.
In an article in the Guardian Mr Cameron wrote: "We are already committed to pay transparency and accountability, but I think it is time to go further. The government plays an important role in helping to shape society, so if we win the election we will set up a fair pay review to investigate pay inequality in the public sector."
The Conservative leader also attempts to appeal to the newspaper's left-wing readership.
He added: "I believe the choice at this election is between a reactionary Labour party and the old ways of command and control, or radical change with the Conservatives – a progressive party in tune with the modern world. To Guardian readers everywhere I say: overcome any prejudices you may have. We want to change our country, and we want to do it with your help."
The Conservatives are relying on £12 billion a year of efficiency savings identified by Sir Peter to fund their plans to block National Insurance rises planned for next year.
Labour has repeatedly attacked the Conservative promises of efficiency savings, saying the pledges are ill-defined and lack detail.
So far, the Conservatives have published only 4 A4 pages of broad description of the savings they would make.
Sir Peter is a former adviser to the Labour Government who carried out two separate Whitehall efficiency reviews.
He told the Financial Times his savings plans for the Conservatives are credible and practical.
"The areas that I've identified are additional to what the government set out in the Budget and, with focus, they are achievable," he said.
Part of the Conservatives' efficiency plan is to freeze recruitment of "back-office" public sector jobs, meaning that when someone leaves a post, they are not replaced.
Curbs on public sector recruitment, which would also include cutting the use of agency and contract staff would save £1bn to £2bn" in 2010-11, Sir Peter said.
Independent experts say Sir Peter's plans for public sector employment would mean a reduction in the headcount of between 20,000 and 40,000.
Other aspects of the Conservative efficiency plan are the renegotiation of Government procurement contracts
Sir Peter said renegotiating the contracts was "not rocket science ... it's not about beating them up on price" and would save about £3bn.
In addition, cuts to "discretionary" spending, such as consultants and staff expenses, should deliver a further £2.5bn in savings for 2010-11, he said.

Rebels runner Ethan Olson advances to state meet
November 2, 2017
On Thursday, October 26, the Moose Lake/Willow River/Barnum cross country team was at the Cloquet Country Club for the Section 7A Championships. With the possible threat of nasty weather in the forecast, it was not looking like a nice day to run. Ultimately, however, the rain held off and the runners were finally going to be able to run on a dry course. With temps in the mid-40s and light winds, the day was made for running. The day's meet consisted of only varsity runners, each vying for a chance to continue on to the state meet. Only the top two teams and top eight runners, not on those teams, will continue on to state competition in Northfield.
The Rebels girls started the day's races. Last year, the team had a ninth place finish, but this year they jumped to sixth out of 20 schools and 108 runners present. The winner of the race was Ava Hill of Mesabi East in a time of 19:07.8, beating the second place runner by nearly 1 minute 11 seconds.
Leading the Rebels was Kelli Granquist, 20th in 21:38.1; Coriella Sheetz, 36th in 22:33.9; Lexi Tekippe, 46th in 22:56.8; Kyra Heaton, 47th in 22:59.9; Savannah Gamst, 52nd in 23:25.0; Delaney Koecher, 55th in 23:36.9; and Sarah Michels, 59th in 23:41.8. Not running were alternates Maddy Gamst and Meghan Granquist.
The Rebels boys were up next and fell off a little from last year's third place finish and ended up fourth out of 22 schools and 138 runners present. The winner of the race was Geno Uhrbom of GNK in a time of 16:28.0, beating the second place runner by nearly 38 seconds.
Rebel Ethan Olson was third in 17:09.8, 4 seconds behind second place. Lake Doran was 28th in 18:14.6; Maverick Koecher, 29th in 18:14.8; Danny Whited, 37th in 18:31.5; Johnathan Danelski, 47th in 18:52.8; Spencer Lower, 68th in 19:33.2; and Henry Collier, 81st in 19:49.2. The boys alternates were Mark Fossum and Tan Dipman, who had Henry Collier run for him due to illness.
Rebel Ethan Olson will continue on to run at the state meet on Saturday, November 4, at St. Olaf College in Northfield. The girls run at 1 p.m. and the boys run at 2 p.m.
