Shinbou Akiyuki Interview
The TV version of Puella Magi Madoka Magica garnered a lot of attention during its original on-air run starting in January 2011. Shinbou-san, when did you start wanting to make this new chapter?
Shinbou: Right around when the TV series broadcast ended. During the broadcast itself, we had our hands full actually making the show, so there was no time to think about a "next". But the fan reaction was above and beyond what we hoped for, so I started wanting to make a sequel. I don't actually remember when we started to hold meetings about it, but the first run of the screenplay was decided upon in the summer of 2011, so I think we were holding meetings over the script around then.
How did the meetings go?
Shinbou: Once we'd gotten everybody together to decide where to go, we had Urobuchi (Gen)-san come up with a plot and screenplay. At the very first meeting, we were split for a time about whether to make this a second anime season or a feature film. Over the course of the meetings, we decided to take the story in the direction you see here, and we decided on a movie.
There are many directions that one can take a "sequel". For instance, untold stories concerning this character or that one, or stories about the past. Why specifically make a continuation?
Shinbou: Concerning the kinds of "spinoffs" and "prequels" you just mentioned, I think that groups other than Shaft should go ahead and make those as fanworks. Puella Magi Madoka Magica leaves a lot of room for fanfiction and fan interpretations, and we want all of those to be made. We don't think there's any need to close off the gaps fans have to create those kinds of works. Actually, we decided to continue the story specifically to make this world bigger and more fun to play with. I loved the characters in Madoka Magica, so I wanted to create the story of what happened to them next.
And so you decided to create the story of "whatever happened to those five magical girls".
Shinbou: The number one thing I wanted to do was to get all the characters together and set them into action again. At the end of the original work, (Kaname) Madoka became a god, and (Miki) Sayaka disappeared. Those two couldn't take the stage like that. Actually, seeing all the characters become popular and head off in different directions made me feel like it was kind of a waste. That's one of the main reasons I wanted to make a continuation.
You called the previous two movies "like a new loop or two of the original series". With that in mind, how is this new movie positioned?
Shinbou: I think of the TV series as complete in and of itself, and that it doesn't need a continuation. Beginnings and Eternal were necessary to Rebellion, and my personal interpretation is that Rebellion continues from these two movies rather than the TV series.
So Rebellion is the continuation of Beginnings and Eternal.
Shinbou: Yes, like that. For instance, in her magical girl form, Sayaka has no hairpin in the TV series, but she has one in the movies. And so, as a continuation of the previous two movies, Rebellion stars the Sayaka with the hairpin.
What kind of discussions happened until the screenplay was finalized?
Shinbou: We didn't really pick nits over the screenplay that much. I have faith in Urobuchi-san as a writer, so we didn't go over the script as finely as we would for an anime. It's not as though Urobuchi-san had it all finished at once, and I did make the request that Madoka get more lines at one stage.
This movie stars a new magical girl. What led to her being included?
Shinbou: She already appeared from the time that Urobuchi-san wrote out the original plotline and script. It didn't feel strange to us, so it already had the feeling of a valid development. The reason she goes by the nickname Bebe is due to a request by Gekidan Inu Curry. In the original work, the witches' names are displayed in runes when they appear, but the runes are supposed to be unreadable. Fans in the real world have deciphered the runes, but nobody in-verse can do so. So the magical girls call Charlotte "Bebe". I think the fans will have plenty of other things to be surprised at besides what we're calling her.
So the runic names are secret (like the concept of a True Name).
Shinbou: I was really surprised that fans overseas deciphered the runes during the broadcast. It was a really fun experience to have people become so involved with our work.
In Rebellion, Madoka, who has become a concept of the universe, is referred to as the "Law of Cycles". This phrase came up once in the TV series, didn't it?
Shinbou: That phrase is only used once by Mami-san in the very last episode. So it seems as though some of the viewers thought that that was just Mami-san making things up, but Urobuchi-san said that the phrase "Law of Cycles" comes from a pun on Madoka's name (Madoka = 円 as in 円か, therefore 円環の理).
At the time, it was just something that Mami-san says the one time, so it seems as though many fans just perceived Mami-san as a character who says a lot of strange things.
Shinbou: To be fair, Mami-san is the only one who actually calls her attack names, so she's a bit of a quirky character. We certainly are happy that our fans pay attention to those details.
Mami-san plays a big role in this movie too. She's in the center of the "Puella Magi Holy Quintet" at the beginning.
Shinbou: It's possible that Mami-san just made them practice saying that. If you're watching closely you may see this for yourself, but the timing of their holding their Soul Gems out, and their saying that line together, isn't perfectly in sync (laughs). We hope people enjoy the impression that she's making them do it like that.
During the climax of that battle, the "Puellae Magi's Tea Party" scene leaves a pretty big impression.
Shinbou: That tea party might be all thanks to Mami-san too (laughs). I think there's a lot to enjoy if you think of it that way.
Mami-san seems extra powerful in this movie.
Shinbou: I think you'll understand this after watching, but Mami is actually really strong. She might be the strongest magical girl, as long as she doesn't let her guard down. Sayaka does say you'd have to be stupid or overconfident to actually pick a fight with Mami-san face-to-face when she's in her best condition. ……I really liked that line. That scene is really serious, so I hope people don't giggle too much when they're watching in the theater.
Sayaka is a pretty popular character too. What do you think of Sayaka, Director Shinbou?
Shinbou: Sayaka is yet another character who's been rounded out by the fans after the TV show ended. I think that we all created her character together. This time, Sayaka and Bebe are important characters who have special memories, so I think the movie will get more interesting if you watch it again with that in mind.
Kyouko works together with Homura as her co-conspirator in this movie. She's just as reliable as she is in the TV anime.
Shinbou: Kyouko has always been kind of a Dezaki character. The famous anime director Dezaki Osamu always has at least one character in his work with an outro like Kyouko's, who winds up guiding the hero. For instance, Rikiishi [Tohru] in "Ashita no Joe", and [Long John] Silver or [Abraham] Gray in "Treasure Island". I've always wanted her to be similar to them.
And finally, this movie creates a new relationship between Madoka and Homura.
Shinbou: You could probably call Homura the real main character of this movie. Madoka's gone and turned into a godlike being, and all. This time the story takes place in the world inside of a Soul Gem, so between who comes from where and who remembers what, this story is filled with riddles and may be difficult to understand. The Madoka in this story is the real Madoka, who has lost her memories of becoming a god. She's not a fake or Homura's creation. What she says in the field of flowers is what she's really feeling at the time. That scene may seem overly sentimental at first glance, but if you think of everything Homura does afterward, her feelings will come across more easily.
Kyubey appears as the true culprit behind this movie's events too. Shinbou-san, you seem like a big Kyubey fan.
Shinbou: I'm such a Kyubey supporter, I wanted to subtitle this movie "Incubator Strikes Back". What's so bad about Kyubey? (laughs) I think Kyubey is always in the right.
We look forward to seeing this new movie. Director Shinbou, how do you want us to enjoy this new work?
Shinbou: This movie is made so that you can enjoy watching it over and over. First just enjoy the story, and then from your second viewing onward, look for all the little things and enjoy them. We'll be happy as long as the fans are excited about it.
Now that you've completed this continuation, what are your feelings on the future of the Madoka Magica franchise?
Shinbou: If we can continue it, we definitely want to.
Urobuchi Gen Interview
We hear that the screenplay for Puella Magi Madoka Magica was finalized in 2009. Were you thinking of a sequel at the time?
Urobuchi: No, not at all. I never thought there would be a sequel.
Then, when did the talk of the continuation start…?
Urobuchi: During the broadcast, I think I heard about it from Producer Iwakami [Atsuhiro], but at the time I was like "Ha ha ha, that's a good joke!" and tried not to take him seriously. But the more I heard about it, I started to realize that these guys were dead serious. Now what was I supposed to do…?
How did you come up with the new story?
Urobuchi: At first I did a lot of brainstorming to come up with all the ideas I could, and played around with the results.
Who did you brainstorm with?
Urobuchi: I was in contact with Iwakami-san, Shinbou (Akiyuki)-san, and Aoki (Ume)-san, so they all came to help me.
What kind of story did you think up at first?
Urobuchi: From the start, the idea was "Homura becomes a witch, and the story takes place inside her barrier". But at the time, I wanted to end the story with Madoka taking Homura away with her. So, I thought the story would end this time for real (laughs). But both Iwakami-san and Shinbou-san were like, "No, we want the story to keep going after this" and wouldn't give me the OK. So then when I was getting really worried, Shinbou-san was like "Might as well just make Madoka and Homura into enemies". And that suggestion was basically the breakthrough. I really agreed that Homura might be plausible as Madoka's equal opposite.
So the plot came together based on the concept of Madoka and Homura becoming enemies.
Urobuchi: That's right. Once I knew the direction I was working for, everything came together, so I wrote the screenplay after that. I wrote the first draft, and then came the revisions, and it ended up as it is now.
The TV anime version of Madoka Magica got a lot of fan reaction, so was there any part of the new movie that changed based on that reaction?
Urobuchi: Every figurine of Tomoe Mami comes with the Witch of Sweets. Even though I wondered what possessed the merchandisers to put those two together, they must've left an impression on me.
Is that why Bebe gets to appear?!
Urobuchi: Hahaha. By the way, Gekidan Inu Curry had a lot of influence on Bebe. At first, she had normal lines. But I was told that since she's a witch, she can't speak normally. Bebe's lines and how they're displayed are all changed because of Inu Curry-san. Bebe is a complete and total Inu Curry character.
Bebe's true identity is…
Urobuchi: Witches never go by their true names. Runes may display their names when they appear, but even if you can read them, the witches will never use those names, according to Gekidan Inu Curry. That's why everybody calls her Bebe.
This time, the first half of the story takes place in a very odd little world.
Urobuchi: It's an idealized world that Homura dreamed up. Deep in her psyche, Homura probably wanted to do all this.
So, she wanted to join forces with the other magical girls and fight enemies together with them?
Urobuchi: Everyone was called into the barrier because she wanted to "play" like that.
So what are the Nightmares?
Urobuchi: When you take the lid off that box, they're just made-up obstacles that Homura created for the magical girls to fight. Probably due to Homura's wistful thinking that it'd be great if only magical girls got to fight something like these instead of witches.
In short, the whole world is nothing but Homura's fantasyland. In what condition have the five magical girls found themselves there?
Urobuchi: The world was rewritten when Madoka became the Law of Cycles, so the outside world is a world of wraiths, not a world of witches. At that stage, Mami and Kyouko, who were both killed by witches, were rewritten to not be dead. This time, Mami and Kyouko, the Kaname family, and Kyousuke and Hitomi were pulled into Homura's barrier from the world of wraiths. Sayaka and Bebe, who were taken away by the Law of Cycles (Madoka), were brought into the barrier by the Law of Cycles.
Homura's interactions with Kyouko, Mami, and Sayaka are very interesting this time around. That Homura reaches out to Kyouko first has interesting implications for the magical girls' relationships.
Urobuchi: Homura probably thought that because Kyouko is the biggest realist, Kyouko would listen to her. When it comes to Mami, even if she and Homura do their best to get along, they'll definitely wind up fighting if they're honest with each other. No matter how Homura reveals the truth, it's going to hurt Mami. So Homura ignores her rather than hurt her. And from Mami's perspective, Homura's actions are incomprehensible. As a result, they don't get along. Finally, concerning Sayaka, she appears before Homura this time actually knowing more than Homura does for once. I was able to start writing right after the TV series ended, so I was able to depict all the magical girls without any problems.
What are your thoughts on having Momoe Nagisa appear?
Urobuchi: From the beginning, we were already having Bebe appear, so naturally things progressed to a discussion of including the sixth magical girl. Luckily, Gekidan Inu Curry had written up character settings for the witches' pasts, so she was very easy to imagine as a human. So then we had Aoki-sensei do her character design as "the Witch of Sweets' human form" at an early stage.
She seems like a very young girl.
Urobuchi: That's because even amongst the other witches, the Witch of Sweets carries an impression of youth. There's no real age restriction on becoming a magical girl, so I imagine that some of them are quite young.
In this movie, Kyubey performs their proper duties again. What is Kyubey to you, Urobuchi-san?
Urobuchi: Kyubey hasn't changed since I wrote the TV series. The only thing is that they're not an all-powerful entity anymore. They're just an alien, so there's no way they can compete with a god.
Madoka is in a special position in this movie too.
Urobuchi: This time, Madoka appears as a character fabricated by Homura. Because all of her memories that are inconvenient to Homura have been taken away. Aside from that, she also appears as Ultimate Madoka (the Law of Cycles), and the ripped-apart Madoka in the ending… there are three different Madokas in this movie.
How do you feel about your work as screenplay writer, in creating the new continuation to Madoka Magica for Rebellion?
Urobuchi: It was hard. At this point in time the memories are distant, but I remember worrying a lot. Back during the TV series, Iwakami-san and Shinbou-san had this kind of, "Madoka Magica ought to be like this" vision going on. At this point, I really feel that Madoka Magica doesn't just belong to me anymore.
When the screenplay was completed, were you able to see Shaft's production work?
Urobuchi: Shaft is a studio that lets their ideas bubble up from a screenplay. Things just keep escalating, and they never quiet down. The storyboards could fill a number of phone books. It's scary. I had no idea that storyboards alone could have this much detail. They were really into it. The storyboards were terrifyingly detailed for every scene, so I can't wait to see the scenes completed.
The storyboard director for this movie is Sasaki Shinsaku-san, who also was in charge of storyboards for episode 10 of the TV series, correct?
Urobuchi: The density and the amount of information are incredible. I'm a little worried as to whether the moviegoers' nerves are going to hold for two hours. Sasaki-san loves Homura, so all of Homura's scenes are getting really impressive, to say the least.
We hear that Gekidan Inu Curry is trying a whole lot of different animation methods.
Urobuchi: Yes. One time, I was presented with a plushie and told "This is the stuffed animal that will appear in the movie". And I was gobsmacked, like, "Eh? Where's a stuffed animal going to show up??"
We have the impression that this time, you wrote the script in a fairly simple manner, and left a lot of the details up to the storyboarder and director's imaginations.
Urobuchi: Because if it's Shaft, they'll really take things to the next level—I'm confident that they can. Since I've done a whole TV series with them, I have that kind of expectation.
What do you think are the best parts of teaming up with Shinbou-san and Shaft?
Urobuchi: They'll do everything that can only be expressed with live footage and everything that can only be expressed in animation. Shaft and Shinbou-san are the only ones who will do that. They always surprise you and exceed your expectations. Even if it's as simple as one single background, you never know what you're going to get. I'm sure that this is going to be an amazing movie.
If there's any scene in particular that you're looking forward to, please tell us.
Urobuchi: Actually, there's a scene in the storyboards where Homura's already gotten too scary! There's parts of the script where Homura has already gotten "scarier". Apparently Shaft is going to keep refining things to the very final stages, so it's exciting waiting to see what the final touches will be.
How do you want the fans to enjoy "Rebellion?"
Urobuchi: Honestly, I think some will beautify it and some will reject it completely. These days, static characters who don't change are popular, and if characters ever change even a little bit there'll be people who'll call that out-of-character and get angry. In this movie, Homura grows, and she changes. In the end, I'm a little worried as to whether people will accept a character like her. If they'll think she's OOC, or that she's evolved. I'll be happy if people accept that Madoka Magica is the kind of drama where characters grow and change like this. But that's up to the viewers to decide.
Stories where characters grow and change are very traditional. Does this mean that Madoka Magica is conforming to archetype?
Urobuchi: Even in "Star Wars", Anakin is a cute little kid in Episode I, but by Episode III he grows up to be Darth Vader. But you know, "that's how stories are". I think the choice of whether or not to accept that is up to the viewers.
Finally, what are your thoughts on this conclusion?
Urobuchi: Personally, I feel like I wrote all there is to Madoka in the TV series, and now I've written all there is to Homura in this movie. I feel like I've had both of them graduate. Anyway, I think that a school where a god and a devil are in the same class is pretty funny. If people use that to make new stories, I'll be happy. I want this to be the kind of story where everyone will want to imagine their own sequel.
Aoki Ume Interview
Puella Magi Madoka Magica: Beginnings & Eternal have garnered a lot of praise. Please tell us how it felt to see them in theaters.
Aoki: When I first saw Beginnings in the theater, I cried during the new opening, and I enjoyed the movie as just one more ordinary fan. There were so many places where the artwork was changed, and the new music was really cool, so my heart was pounding from beginning to end. The movies go from one episode to the next with no breaks, so the sensation of being drawn into the movies' world was powerful and very fun.
Please tell us how you felt when you read the finalized version of the script to Rebellion.
Aoki: My first impression was basically "Wait, what just happened?!"
How were the meetings held over the script?
Aoki: Having all the ideas that were thrown around slowly change and come together into one final shape was very interesting.
Were there any hints or illustrations that helped you when thinking of Momoe Nagisa's design?
Aoki: Her appearance in the TV series was both my biggest guidepost and my biggest worry. I kept adding things and taking them away, wondering how much I ought to leave and how much should be changed.
Momoe Nagisa seems younger than the previously seen magical girls. How do you feel about her?
Aoki: At the beginning I drew her to look a little more grown-up, but I was told to make her more babyish and so she wound up like this. At the beginning I was imagining her as the type to do things at her own pace, a little selfish, but once her speech patterns were determined I started to feel like all of that was part of her innocence and youth, and was able to draw her naturally.
If there's anything you realized while designing Momoe Nagisa, please tell us.
Aoki: (Compared to the five magical girls who were already here) I think the hurdles are pretty high for a new girl appearing after everything, so I drew her to this desperate mantra of, please let her turn out cute, please let the fans love her!
What kind of character is Kyubey to you?
Aoki: They're a really interesting character, aren't they? So adorable, and so totally uncute (laughs).
Please tell us what you thought when you got to see the storyboards.
Aoki: First off, I was startled by the sheer amount. Then I was startled by the contents. Even with the TV series there were plenty of places where I was surprised, like, so that part of the script is going to look like this! But this time, every time I turned a page, my excitement built to levels I hadn't expected. Once the pictures move and there's sound, I'm sure it's going to be much more intense, so I'm looking forward to the final product.
Which scenes in Rebellion are you looking forward to?
Aoki: Probably Homura and Mami-san's fight. It was really cool on the storyboards, so I bet it'll be beyond imagination when it's animated, and I can't help but look forward to seeing Mami-san get serious when she's in top shape. And the ending too, I think. I know the story, but I still can't imagine what it's actually going to look like, so I'm excited and nervous.
What do you think is most fun about working with Director Shinbou?
Aoki: He says a lot of things that sort of flash and then go BOOM like lightning, and you get to like that (laughs). They're things that make you want to start nodding like crazy.
Please tell the theater viewers something to look forward to in the upcoming movie.
Aoki: I think there are plenty of things to look forward to. I hope you enjoy yourselves a lot!

Ash dieback - research, funding and policy news: 7 August 2013
7th Aug 2013
Fight tree diseases with a united front says Owen Paterson
Working together is the best way to defend British trees and plants from the pests and diseases threatening them, Environment Secretary Owen Paterson said. He was speaking at a meeting of woodland organisations and forestry groups, who were discussing the report by the independent Tree Health and Plant Biosecurity Expert Taskforce.
Forestry functions in England: review
This report summarises the conclusions of the review of government's forestry functions in England. The review's objective was to advise Ministers and the Forestry Commissioners on how government's ongoing forestry expertise and functions in England would best deliver the objectives of the Forestry and Woodlands policy statement.
Protecting Europe's crops and woodland from pests and pathogens
In the UK, Plant Health Officials are approving a newly developed portable DNA testing device for disease diagnosis. They are checking for ash dieback, the spore-borne disease caused by the fungus Chalara fraxinea which, according to the UK Forestry Commission, has infected more than 330 sites in the UK and resulted in the destruction of tens of thousands of young trees. A sample of infected bark is taken from an ash tree and prepared in a manner which can amplify and detect DNA from the organism. The result is available within minutes rather than the days it would have taken if the sample had been sent for laboratory analysis. Since speed is of critical importance in diagnosing such disease outbreaks, this is a major step forward.
Vacancy: Plant Health Officer – Forestry Commission
The successful candidate will work to establish effective delivery of Forestry Commission Plant Health delivery objectives through (1) survey, analysis & monitoring, (2) engagement and advice as well as through, (3) enforcement of forestry and plant health regulations where required.
Closing date for applications: 8 August 2013
Save the ash tree? Half of us can't even recognise an oak
An appeal for the public to report tree disease has merely revealed our arboreal ignorance. More than four-fifths of people cannot identify an ash tree from its leaves and almost half cannot recognise an oak, a survey has revealed.
Temperature effect on Chalara fraxinea: heat treatment of saplings as a possible disease control method
In this paper by Hauptman et al. the authors show that in hot weather periods, thermal conditions inside the ash tissues can be extreme enough to markedly decrease the viability of C. fraxinea in infected plant tissues.
Moving forward from ash dieback
Thursday 1 — Saturday 31 August 2013

Why do I have to see my advisor before I schedule classes?
See your advisor to have an engaged discussion about your academic progress, goals, and future paths. During this meeting, your advisor will help you make good academic decisions so you can graduate in a timely manner. In addition to discussing your academic progress, you can talk about programs such as internships and study abroad, graduate school opportunities, and other campus resources, such as the Learning Assistance Resource Center (LARC) for tutoring or Department of Counseling & Psychological Services for personal problems. An advising appointment is also a good time to talk about the big issues - what kind of person do you want to be, and how can your time at WCU help you be that?
At the conclusion of your advising meeting, your faculty advisor will lift the "advisor hold" to allow you to register beginning on your assigned date. This means you should contact your advisor for a meeting (however he or she wants to be contacted) before this date.
Registration for Fall (and Summer) classes will begin soon – the date and time when you will be allowed to enroll in classes will appear on your myWCU homepage soon.
How do I make an appointment with my academic advisor?
All undergraduate students must meet with their academic advisors at least once per semester to discuss their academic progress and plans for the following semester. To schedule an appointment with your advisor, you should log on to your MyWCU page to find your advisor's name and contact information. Ask how they set up appointments. Your advisor may prefer that you email them your availability; others use an online scheduling site; others prefer a phone call; and still others ask you to sign up on sheet placed on their office door. Use the preferred method to schedule an appointment with your advisor at least one week before your scheduling date listed on your MyWCU page.
What should I bring to an advising meeting?
Consider how you can best make the meeting serve your needs as you move through your program. What questions do you need to ask? What information do you need? For example, you could be considering study abroad, or you could be experiencing difficulty in a class. Both of these topics would be good to anticipate so that you can bring them up during your appointment. At minimum, you should always go to your meeting with your advisor with a plan for the classes you want to take in the following semester. Also bring your advising sheets and a copy of your DPR printout, if your advisor requests it.

7 DAYS! I hope i will get paid today!
7 DAYS! I hope i will get paid today!
Thnx for letting us know Mr.Admin, I can understand.
thanks for the info but i dont think il be getting a payment anytime soon
They have resources to detect fraudulent clicks so do not let them fool you. Glenn at defunct UC had one and Linkbucks has one here too.. Hence : how your "Performance Score" is rated.
I am convinced that their operation costs far exceed their current budget. They do not have the funds to pay us. Simple solution is to do as I do.. cease using linkbucks the moment your earnings request goes into review.
I have been waiting six (6) days myself.
Six (6) days, I would have earned atleast $10.00 ...
Do not hold your breath for payment anytime soon.
Glen did not have a system like that, don't be a fool, he just had a script that deleted clicks that had no referer.
there is no script/resources that can detect complex bots.
Performance Score is calculated by the origin of the ip, and not by some complex fraud detection system.
CommanderBucks said "about a week", and not "exactly a week", about can mean it can take longer than 7 days.
He also said "Please be patient" and not "please PANIC as soon as possible, best to start panicking after 6 days"
Oooooooh okay, The Performance Score is calculated by the origin of the IP but the origin of the IP script can not detect proxies from autoclickers ?.. right ? .. but reviewing 30,000 - 70,000 + clicks per $5.00 by hand for over a 100,000+ members can ? ...
Astoundingly enough, if you look in the mirror you'll see the fool.
Meanwhile, I am far from panic ...
Let's see. What else. Since you think you're the grand wizard of knowledge and all things internet, how do you propose Linkbucks remedies this so-called froad situation ...
Oh geeze, maybe they will write a magical script that can detect such from now on ?
Or should we expect our earnings to be paid semiannually ?
You know, after the Gerbil in a spinning wheel calculates our earnings.. LMAO
Simply enough, they do not have the funds to cover expenses and it seriously wouldn't surprise me one iota if they close up shop ...
Thankfully we all have you and your expertise here to clear all doubts as nobody still hasn't been paid ...
Hugs and kisses
Why would they pay out double days if they were in strife (there was one a couple of weeks ago). If they were losing lots of money they would have shut down long ago.
More then likely they have a small prfoit margin and fraud clicks cause them to go negative. If they can identify the people doing this then they can go back into a slight profit.
Think about it ... lets say 200 users request a payment everyday for $5. Thats $1000. If they are losing even say 10% thats $100 a day. If linkbucks was in this situation then they would have been closed a very very long time ago. On the other hand if they usually make $1010 to cover those cost and its now making $990 they are losing $10 a day. By cutting out fraudsters they will get back into profit.
The other option is dropping the payout rate to half what it is now.
If it was a choice of dropping to half what they pay now or linkbucks going bankrupt I would prefer the former as it is good to use along side other types of advertising. If it went bankrupt it wouldn't kill me and I would adapt but thats a lot of blogs I need to update to remove the scripts.
Good Luck.
My Methods revealed at Make Money online using Secret Techniques <---
I'm very sad due knowing that the Linkbucks will not pay anyone else.

Kate Middleton made a surprise visit on Monday at the King's College Hospital where she showed her support for those injured in the London Bridge attack. At the hospital, Middleton met with six patients as well as the doctors and nurses who are taking care of the injured victims.
The attack resulted in 8 tragic deaths, and 48 people were also injured on June the 3rd.
Lynne Watkins-Hulme who is a nurse on duty at the time of Middleton's visit had this to say, 'What was really noticeable on Saturday night was the amount of female patients that were involved.'
The Duchess of Cambridge spoke to the hospital's chief executive and was provided with further details about the situation.
She also spoke with Dr. Malcolm Tunnicliff who is the hospital's director of emergency medicine.
During the conversation, the director had this to say about the situation, 'We are one of the busiest hospitals in western Europe for dealing with penetrating injuries, but it was the volume and it is usually young men that stab each other, and there were quite a lot of ladies who were stabbed.'
The hospital was very pleased with Kate's visit and praised her for taking the time to visit with the victims.
During their difficult times, getting a visit from the Duchess surely brought up the spirits of the victims.
Middleton, who is a celebrity in her own right, is a very caring person and has much love for her fellow countrymen.
This simple visit went a long way in helping those who were hurt and Kate's kind act did not go unnoticed.
While there is still a lot of work to be done, hopefully soon, these victims will get to go home with their families. Thankfully, their recovery is in the hands of some of the best medical professionals in the country.

The Green Lanterns or Green Lantern Corps was, in an alternate reality, a group of heroes who defended the universe on the behalf of the Oans, who were proclaimed as the Guardians of the Universe.
In variations of this particular reality, the Green Lanterns drew energy from a central power battery on the planet Oa and used willpower to focus this energy through individual batteries and power rings. The green light energy required the user be free of the emotional fear, which itself could be focused as the color yellow from the same source of primordial energy. To establish checks and balances, the Green Lantern energy was useless against the color yellow for that reason.
In most versions of that multiverse, the Green Lantern Corps was divided into space sectors, with each assigned a Green Lantern ring bearer as protector. The planet Earth, important to the Guardians protection, had many different champions who had Green Lantern power rings. (TOS - The Spectrum War comics: "Issue 1", "Issue 2")

Full Metal Panic Fumoffu フルメタル・パニック?ふもっふ BD-Box just came out after Christmas, so it's time to post some pictures… This release is very consistent with the last two.
Yes, this release consists of two Blu-ray Discs (both BD50), and one CD. The video is 480i/p upconvert to 1080i, aspect ratio is 4:3, and has Japanese LPCM 2.0 and English LPCM 5.1 soundtracks. There's also Japanese subtitles for the English audio, but it's NOT removable just as the previous two releases. There's about 10 minutes of special features including non credit opening and ending, TV spots, etc. The CD テレサ・サスタロッサの艦長日記 translates as Captain Theresa Testarossa's log, I believe this CD was also came with the last DVD-BOX release. So the special features are quite slim.
Move on to the next subject…
I was able to obtain the iso file of the escaflowne movie, file size is 33.6 GB. So as always, I ran a BDinfo check on the files.
This release has Japanese audio, subtitles, and a LPCM 2.0 Korean audio. For the TrueHD audio, the bitrate averages about 2400kbps which is the highest I've seen so far for anime release.
Again it's a Bandai Honneamise release, so high bitrate is expected.

I was very excited for this movie because it was held on MONDAY!!!! The reason why is because I work till 6pm on Monday. But usually, I realized MOST of the premiere screening are held on Tuesday and Wednesday. But unfortunately I'm working until 9pm on Tues and Wed! Arghhhhh... which means I have to let go plenty of premiere screenings. :( Like the previous Flight, Journey to the west, A Good Day to Die Hard, Beautiful creatures and so on. I didn't even join it because I know I would definitely can't make it for the movie. And now there's OZ!!! OH MAI GODDDDD!!! I wanna watch that movie so freaking badly. And it's on a Tuesday. My feeling was like =[ haizzzz.. but I'l' figure something out. When I want something, I would definitely do all the best that I could to achieve it. So back to Cloud Atlas, of course have to thanks Nuffnang once again! It's my first premiere screening in February! Yayyyyy!!! ^^
Hmmm... how should I describe this movie?
Every part, every detail of the movie is a hint or related to everything. Hahaha I don't know what am I saying. But seriously, I sat in the cinema for almost 3 hours but end up couldn't really figure out everything. I get it at some point where they repeat the same sentence which they use at each generation. Just that they showed it in a different kind of way but their aim was to tell us that no matter what generation, it's the same. Well, I don't think many people will appreciate this kind of movie lah. Those who really appreciate must be very artistic, dramatic and WISE and patience. LOL. As Mr.Dummy said, only WISE people are recommended for the movie. So lame yet so true! Hahaha. But anyway, I wouldn't comment much because you have to watch it for yourself. But overall, I find this movie kinda interesting and the way the story was produced was very unique. Thumbs up to the team especially to the person who wrote this movie. Haha.
And I really salute all the casts seriously. One actor/actresses can be so many characters. Thumbs up! =D
Like this:
Impressive right???? XD
WATCH TILL THE END IF YOU'RE WATCHING THIS MOVIE AT CINEMA. They would show the picture of the casts and you'll definitely get shocked! I GUARANTEED! HAHAHA
Summary of the characters of the movie:
But I still don't get it >.<
Check out more details at IMDB here: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1371111/ =D
Watch the trailer below:
Toodles! =p

Beading Babes November project
I started the month with high hopes and I was eager to dig into the Sleek in Silver project. One thing I discovered, though, is that the designer knows best. Hatsumi Oshitani called for 8x10mm briolettes. I had a hard time finding that size in a color I liked, so I ordered 15mm tiger's eye briolettes. This was bad idea #1. The 15mm briolettes were way too big and jumbled together. Lucky for all of us, I didn't grab a photo.
Bad idea #2 was to use dagger beads. These were just a bit too "pointy." Again, I didn't think to grab a picture. Luckily, I stumbled upon these wonderful potato pearls. (Honestly, I love pearls. I think they belong in everything.) The pearls were the right size, and, while not exactly briolettes, they worked well. Here is the result:
I also made a clasp using the tila beads. I found the instructions for the circle on the Miyuki website.
I really loved the the variation on the St. Petersburg stitch. It worked up so quickly and laid so nicely. I have another color of tila beads on hand and may just be trying this again.
Our second project was Earthly Hues by Carol Ohl. It was printed in the August/September 2010 issue of Beadwork. Like most of Carol Ohl's patterns, this worked up quickly. Lucky for me, I didn't try to play with the size of the beads. I was able to do this without having to restring anything.
This is a chunky and fun necklace that is really light. It doesn't feel like you are wearing a necklace at all. It's also very easy to dress up or down.
I want to try the variation pictured in Beadwork. I'm thinking black and gold. (It seems I have a rather large "to do" list.)
Be sure to visit Karyn's blog, Releases by Rufydoof, to see what the other participants did. If you are interested in joining Beading Babes, there is a link on the right side of the blog.
Karyn, thank you for putting this together for us. It was a blast.

Hi! You picked such beautiful colors for your pieces! That circle you made with the Tila's was such a great idea!!ReplyDelete
stunning, wonderful colours, my favourites...I envy you for your talent with these tiny beadsReplyDelete
I just stopped by Erin's blog and saw that you won my tutorial! I'm so excited (and relieved that you're a seed beader!) I'm so glad to be sending one your way!ReplyDelete
Wow I love your pieces. I love the matte beads you used in Sleek in Silver and the clasp you created is gorgeous. Very clever! I also love how you have used the pearls for your drops.ReplyDelete
Your Earthly Hues piece is gorgeous too. Very bold...the round beads you used are very striking.
Well done on completing both pieces. Thanks again for joining Beading Babes...I look forward to seeing what you create in Project 3!
Wonderful pieces...I love the colours of the Earthly Hues...and for Sleek in Silver too! Very very nice work!ReplyDelete

For those who've been following the comings and goings of "Real Steel," it's a pretty well-known fact that when the project was first announced back in late 2009, the Internets lit up with comments and rants against the studio for green-lighting a Rock 'Em Sock Em Robots movie.
And while everyone is entitled to their own opinion, the problem with that perception, according to the stars and director themselves, is that it's incorrect.
"A lot people [say], 'What is it, Rock 'Em Sock 'Em Robots?' But it's got a lot of heart," Hugh Jackman told MTV News at the film's premiere. "This movie is really about the relationships of everyone involved, and I think it's going to surprise people. I saw it with my mother-in-law, my wife and my kids at the same screening, and they all were crying at one point, laughing, and they really got into it."
Director Shawn Levy admitted that he wasn't bothered so much by the quick critiques as he was amused, because they were analyzing elements of the film they hadn't seen and a script they obviously hadn't read.
"It's more 'Rocky' than it is Rock 'Em Sock 'Em. It's all about the heart, it's all about the characters," Levy explained. "The action is great, and if you're a young guy and you just want to come and watch robots wail on each other, great, you're going to love it. But if you're looking for more of an emotional experience, the movie is very much that."
Evangeline Lilly took the emotional aspect of the plot one step further and explained the film's overall message.
"I think the moral message here is: Never give up on yourself. Never sell out. Selling out is such a big thing nowadays, because our culture is so materialistic and money is everything, and in this film, this beautiful little boy played by Dakota [Goyo] will not sell out, and his father wants to, because his father, Hugh Jackman, is kind of pathetic compared to his son," she explained. "His son is like, 'Dude, I'm not giving up on myself, I'm not giving up on my robot, I'm not giving up on you.' It's beautiful, because it's supposed to be the inverse; the father is supposed to say that to the son. So it kind of breaks your heart to see a son redeem his father."

Rise of Paul Dunne: Greystones to British Masters champion
The 24-year-old's maiden win the product of years of hard work and prodigious talent
Paul Dunne of Ireland with the winner's trophy after the final round of the British Masters at Close House Golf Club in Newcastle upon Tyne, England. Photo: Ross Kinnaird/Getty Images
Cast your mind back to the four days from the 16th to the 20th of July, 2015.
At the Open Championship in St Andrews the world is sitting up and taking notice of a 22-year-old Irish amateur from Greystones. His name is Paul Dunne and he is making history in becoming the first amateur to lead going into the final round of the oldest championship in golf since 1927.
It is the first that most people have heard of the talented young player with a silky smooth short game and a putting stroke destined to bring success.
The final round goes as most would expect the final round to go for an amateur leading the Open Championship and Dunne finishes in a tie for 30th as Zach Johnson takes home the claret jug. But he's made a name for himself now and the golfing world expects.
Fast forward two years and the now 24-year-old professional has justified those expectations. In shooting a final round 61 – the lowest final round to win on the European Tour or PGA Tour this year, matched only by Hideki Matsuyama at the Bridgestone Invitational – he held off four-time major winner Rory McIlroy and took home the British Masters title for his first professional win and a healthy €562,500 pay cheque, bringing his total winnings for the season up to €1.3 million and catapulting him up to 12th in the Race to Dubai standings. It also means that his European Tour card is secure for the next two seasons.
His world ranking of 192 is also set to improve dramatically and he may well move inside the top 100, creeping ever closer to the glorious surroundings of the top 50 which allows players to pick and choose their schedule thanks to full exemptions for all of the majors and world golf championships.
Speaking of WGCs, Dunne's win also means he has booked himself a place at the megabucks HSBC Champions event in China next month.
Many would say it's a rise that has been coming since that fairytale week in Scotland but others would say it's been coming since even earlier.
Dunne was long fancied to be one of Ireland's main golfing hopes since turning heads with a stellar amateur career and a scholarship to the University of Alabama after graduating from Blackrock College.
A US College Golfer of the Year title, a quarter-final appearance at the US Amateur and a degree in business finance later and he was making a name for himself stateside.
Then came the Open Championship and, two months later, the Walker Cup.
In a team containing five Irish players, the Great Britain and Ireland squad outclassed their US counterparts, winning 16 and a half to nine and a half while Dunne capped off a fairytale year by holing the winning putt.
The professional ranks beckoned and, directly after that Walker Cup win, Dunne made the switch.
Now playing for a living, things were always going to get tougher. There is no shortage in stories of hot prospects entering the paid ranks and never fulfilling their potential. Even a player of the talent of Justin Rose missed his first 21 cuts in a row after turning pro amidst much fanfare in 1998. However, Dunne was not fazed. A tied-19th finish on his professional debut at the Dunhill Links event in Scotland set him up for a pay day of €47,536 to take into the dreaded q-school.
Often described as the fifth major, qualifying school is the toughest challenge any professional golfer will ever face. With over 1,000 entrants each year and three stages to navigate it's as ruthless a sporting arena as you will find anywhere. Players are, quite literally, playing for their livelihoods.
Starting at the second stage, the chance of securing full European Tour playing rights are slim. But that's exactly what Dunne did. After negotiating a six-man playoff to book his place at the final stage he comfortably won his card with a tied-16th finish over the six rounds at PGA Catalunya in Spain.
Now it was time for the real business. The 2016 season proved to be quite a battle with eight missed cuts in 23 events meaning that it came right down to the wire as to whether he would keep his card but some good results late in the season meant that he finished 106th on the Race to Dubai – inside the top 110 required to maintain full playing rights.
After getting one full season under his belt it was time to kick on. A maiden win almost came in Morocco at the Trophee Hassan II in April, only to be denied by Edoardo Molinari in a playoff.
Further good results followed with four top 15 finishes and just two missed cuts meaning that he had secured his playing rights for next year long before pitching up at Close House for the British Masters. Final rounds of 65 and 66 at the KLM Open in his last outing showed that the good form was there if he could just marry the mental side and get over the line.
On Sunday outside of Newcastle, with McIlroy hot on his heels, the 24-year-old from Greystones proved that he could do exactly that.
The rise and rise of Paul Dunne shows no signs of stopping.

I've been interested in, and trying to understand, the Cynefin framework for many years. Without much success, I might add. However, I recently saw an Intro to Cynefin video from Dave Snowden at Cognitive Edge that has helped me put the final pieces of my understanding in place.
Actually, looking back at my first attempt to use the framework to look at an issue, back in a November 2008 look at the response to the global economic crisis, it looks like I may have understood it better than I thought I did. But then I started taking it places I don't think it was ever meant to go. Continue reading "Our causes can't see their effects"
Wordcamp St. Louis 2012 was a great way to spend the day, here are three of the talks that really stood out for me.
Over the weekend I had the chance – the pleasure – to attend Wordcamp St. Louis 2012. I met some great people, doing incredible things with WordPress, and had a chance to learn and be inspired. Although the whole day was great, three of the talks stand out for me:
Most generally informative: Chris Miller (@iDoNotes) gave us the down and dirty on using WordPress as a podcasting/videocasting platform, blasting us with way more information than I thought could be squeezed into the 45 minute session. No doubt he had to leave some stuff out, but it was a comprehensive intro that put those interested on the right path for learning more. Especially if they remember to visit the resource bundle he put together for us.
Most specifically useful: Joshua Ray (@pdxOllo) and Alex Rodriguez (@arod2634) presented Best Practices and Admin Customization, the latter which has been on my mind of late for a current project. Comprehensive coverage and plenty of code examples (I'll post the links later, I seem to have misplaced them). Looking forward to digging in.
Most inspirational: Although the WordPress specific parts of Reshma Chamberlin's (@reshmacc) talk on design were impressive themselves, what impressed – and inspired – me the most was her and her partner's philosophy of design. And not just design, really, but how to chase your dreams, make a difference, and to do things right. (Sounds so easy, doesn't it.) Check out the B&C Designers site to see for yourself. (And thanks, Reshma, for the book recommendation: Disciplined Dreaming is next up on my shelf!)
An American businessman was standing at the pier of a small coastal Mexican village when a small boat with just one fisherman docked. Inside the small boat were several large yellowfin tuna. The American complimented the Mexican on the quality of his fish.
"How long it took you to catch them?" The American asked.
"Only a little while." The Mexican replied.
"Why don't you stay out longer and catch more fish?" The American then asked.
"I have enough to support my family's immediate needs." The Mexican said.
"But," The American then asked, "What do you do with the rest of your time?"
Conservatives claim a "liberal bias" of the mainstream media. Is it really bias, or just a different way of looking at, and discussing, the world?
This past weekend, the NPR program On the Media explored the question, "Does NPR have a liberal bias?" (I'll let you listen for yourself to find the results.) Of course, the question of bias in the media is ever-present, never more so than during a Presidential election year. As acknowledged by the OTM piece, most charges of bias these days are expressed by conservatives against the mainstream (aka "corporate") media, which the conservatives say have a "liberal bias". Some, like Senator Rick Santorum, take it even further, proclaiming that "the media will never be on our side."
But is it really bias that's the issue? Or just a different approach to viewing, and discussing, the world.

After Her
By Joyce Maynard
309 pages, $25.99
By Karen Brady
"I was always looking for excitement, until I found some," the young narrator in Joyce Maynard's latest novel confides.
One can imagine Maynard herself having the same thought in 1972 when she – age 18 and already a promising writer – found her live-in relationship with the revered 53-year-old American author and recluse, J.D. Salinger, suddenly crumbling.
It was a 10-month event neither she nor the literary world has ever forgotten – making Maynard's writing life a double-edged sword all the years since, and perhaps never more so than at this moment.
There is an exhaustive new biography, "Salinger," in bookstores – and a documentary of the same name on movie screens, the two linked by screenwriter Shane Salerno, co-author of the book and director of the film. Maynard appears in both (cutting her late mentor no slack).
But! Maynard is also awaiting the December release of Jason Reitman's film adaptation of her 2009 novel "Labor Day" (starring Josh Brolin and Kate Winslet) – and is making East Coast-West Coast author rounds on behalf of her newly published novel, "After Her."
This is an intriguing, quietly suspenseful book – a coming-of-age murder mystery, if you will, involving two adolescent sisters whose playground is the foothills of Mount Tamalpais, just north of San Francisco.
Our narrator is Rachel, 13, the more suggestive – and cerebral – of the sisters. Patty, at 11, is the athlete and animal-lover, the often silent but more practical of the two: A clear symbiosis, and perhaps a necessary one for the siblings are often left to fend for themselves, their mother "fragile," their father unexpectedly gone from their day-to-day lives.
"After our father left, we liked it better out of our house than in," Rachel explains the fact that she and Patty spend their days roaming the near paths and far approaches to Tamalpais; their nights watching another family's television – from outside, through a picture window, and thus without sound.
At home, as Rachel puts it, "things kept breaking, options narrowed. Every month we seemed to have less of everything but unopened bills and the smell of cigarettes. Inside, we could feel the sadness and the disappointment of our mother, and as much as we loved her, we had to get away or we would be swallowed up in it too. But beyond the four walls of our falling-down house, anything was possible."
Indeed. Maynard gives her young sisters a rich natural life as they explore their beckoning mountain: "For most children in our neighborhood," Rachel tells us, "the vast expanse of open land abutting our houses had been off limits, for fear of snakes or coyote attacks, or, more likely, poison oak. But Patty and I rambled where we chose. Our only limits: how far our legs could carry us."
But, if there is an idyll here, there is also yearning – as the girls try different neighbors' picture windows for their TV evenings, spreading a picnic blanket on the cold ground and, while imagining the dialogue, almost certainly seeking a healthier concept of family for themselves.
Sad as this may seem, Maynard softens it all with the humor to be found in all this untethered adolescence. She has written young adult as well as adult fiction and nonfiction, and is good with "tweens" and teens.
Plus, here she has – as the perfect buffer – Marin County detective Anthony Torricelli, the girls' father and the individual placed in charge of one of the most notorious serial killer cases in the county's history.
Movie-star handsome, and on TV every night following the start of the killings, on Mount Tamalpais, Torricelli becomes an admired local celebrity – bolstering the girls' status at school (something only Rachel cares about) and adding real meat to Maynard's "After Her."
Torricelli, like the mountain, is an anchor here – pulling together disparate parts of the girls' meanderings and observations of others while becoming a sympathetic figure (despite his presumed insensitivity in leaving his family) when more bodies are found, and the veteran detective cannot solve the case.
Maynard creates a community of neighbors on the mountain (one of whom, the "mysterious" Albert Armitage, Rachel is convinced is the killer) as well as one Margaret Ann, the woman for whom Torricelli purportedly left his marriage. There is a fullness, a maturity to this work – although Rachel's constant reminders to us that she has not, yet, experienced her first period seem both overdone and tacked-on (as do the "visions" she has of the killer, a psychological possibility, surely, but extraneous here).
Two "sisters" also figured in Maynard's 2010 novel, "The Good Daughters," a wonderful depiction of America's oldest family farm but an obvious book otherwise, the two sisters interesting but flat compared to the flesh and bones feel of Rachel and Patty, the focus of "After Her."
Maynard, who dwells on Mount Tamalpais herself, reveals, in her fascinating Acknowledgments at the end of the novel, that Rachel and Patty are based on two actual sisters:
"Living as I do on the side of Mount Tamalpais, I have experienced the mountain as a daily presence – out of my window, and under my feet as I hike it – for the 17 years I've made my home in California. I had been dimly aware for as long as I've lived here that a series of murders once took place on this mountain so close to where I live. But it was two adult sisters – Janet Cubley and Laura Xerogeanes, whom I first met when they showed up in my living room to attend one of my daylong writing workshops – who shared with me the story from their own lives (and largely played out on Mount Tamalpais) that inspired this one. They also gave me their blessing to change as much as I wanted, and I did."
"After Her" is a bit top heavy with the yin-yang of Rachel and Patty – but, all in all, the novel succeeds. Maynard is wonderful, as always, with era and with place and nearly every page here produces a smile.
Would Salinger approve? To Maynard, the question has obviously long been immaterial. And that is, clearly, our gain.

Credit Lines and the Liquidity Insurance Channel
42 Pages Posted: 15 Jun 2016 Last revised: 23 Jun 2018
Date Written: May 15, 2018
We suggest a new mechanism–the liquidity insurance channel–based on the widespread reliance of high credit quality firms on bank credit lines for liquidity management. Our model matches the patterns of usage of loans and credit lines in the cross-section of firms, and defines the conditions under which shocks to bank health affect primarily low or high credit quality firms. Our framework can explain why credit line origination is more cyclical than loan origination. Overall, we uncover a novel interaction between bank health and economic activity through the provision of bank credit lines to high credit quality firms.

Hotel Chocolat full year revenue ahead of forecasts
Hotel Chocolat has reported that its full year revenue has come in slightly ahead of market expectations.

Grilled Veal Porterhouse With Fig Compote
PHOTO BY COLLEEN DUFFLEY — Fall 2018
From executive chef Darrel Wright, Polo Golf & Country Club, Cumming, Ga. (formerly at Bentwater Golf Club, Acworth, Ga.)
6 bone-in veal porterhouse chops (12-16 ounces)
2 teaspoons olive oil or canola oil
salt and pepper
Fig Compote (recipe follows)
Preheat a grill to high. Brush both sides of the veal chops with oil and season to taste with salt and pepper. Cook the chops until golden brown and slightly charred, about 5 minutes. Turn the chops over, reduce the heat to medium, and continue cooking about 8 minutes longer. Let the meat rest for 5 minutes before cutting or serving. Divide the chops among plates and serve with the Fig Compote.
Yield: 6 servings
1 cup Mission figs, quartered, with stems removed
1/4 cup white sugar
1/4 cup bourbon
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 pinch salt
Place figs, sugar, bourbon, vinegar, lemon juice, and salt in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, then turn down to a simmer and reduce by half for about 10 minutes. Stir occasionally. Turn off the heat and cool to room temperature before serving with the veal chops.
CHEF'S TIP: "When you're grilling veal over high heat, the meat will continue cooking once you remove it from the heat, so if you want it medium, only cook to medium rare."
