Kingdom Pen Magazine--An Excellent Resource for Aspiring Young Writers
Do you have any teen writers in your household who could use some encouragement, tips, and inspiration? Then look no further than Kingdom Pen, a wonderful free e-magazine written by homeschoolers around the globe who want to glorify Christ through their writing! The following excerpt was taken from their website:
By mission statement, Kingdom Pen is a small, free e-magazine that's aim and goal is to encourage teens to write well, write purposefully, and to always write for Christ. Our goal is to start a charge against the lines of secular fiction that is poisoning the minds of our culture, and to encourage teen writers to flood the world with stories that shine the light of Christ and share His truth. The only thing that will ever fix the problems of this world is the atoning work of Christ, and we believe that one of the best ways to share the glory of His truth and work is through the timeless art of story telling. We are here to do what we can to encourage the promotion of that art and be ready to start a fire for Christ to burn through the hearts of our culture–a culture that is obsessed with stories.
Kingdom Pen is published bi-monthly, and is even accepting article submissions from other young writers, so it is an excellent opportunity for aspiring authors! Please help spread the word about this remarkable resource!

Watch needs to undertake printing jobs regularly. Why only companies even individuals enjoy photo printing to enliven their precious moments they have taken within their cameras on journeys and occasions. Whether it's printer magazine or photos of business occasions, it is important to make sure that greatest quality printing can be used for the greatest results. Shoddy printers offer blur and uncomfortable outcomes. Furthermore, the colour too fades off rapidly as time passes. Thus, you can't preserve it for lengthy. Because of the constant technological evolution, new and new printers are introduced on the market. Every device has something different and new to provide, supplying a distinctive experience. Therefore, you will notice that many people prefer printing in your own home, taking their very own space and time. Portable printers could be connected to the computer and are simple to use. That is certainly an excellent time and money saving option for those who have a couple of prints.
However, there are lots of those who prefer getting a professional service to have their photos printed. It's an ideal option for those who have a large number of prints. Printing huge photo albums in your own home could be tiring and tiresome. By choosing an expert service, it can save you lots of energy and headache which goes into making huge albums with countless snaps. Furthermore, you don't have to take a position large sums in purchasing photo printing supplies. Also, companies and people who have to do photo printing work regularly have to make sure that they're stocked with sufficient supplies to deal with unwarranted problems. However, getting entrusted the task to some professional, you've got nothing to fret because they will require proper care of everything.
Professionals perform bulk jobs every day and therefore are well experienced using the intricacies from the work. They hold the skills to deal with undesirable issues efficiently so you obtain the prints promptly. Furthermore, they are fully aware which photos require what sort of printing so you obtain the preferred edgy look. A few of the famous printers offer an array of services at affordable rates. Reliable digital photo printing and duplicate services have the sources to provide the greatest quality prints. Their commercial services will definitely exceed your expectations. Using more than ten years in the industry, a few of the famous printers have developed an alluring position on the market. You are able to bank in it for delivering all of your time sensitive projects within the stipulated period.

Ron still proclaims to the 'crazy' that he is one of two true prophets (the 2nd being his wife) who have been chosen to carry God's messages to the multitudes (of idiots willing to part with their cash, of course, so that Ron and Mrs. Prophet can make lots of money).
Since having had his ears syringed, Ron now admits that he has not been hearing all messages of God clearly.
Apparently the message from God saying that the world is going to end in 2012, he didn't hear clearly because of the wax build-up in his ears.
He heard from God the other day, as God is, allegedly 'worried that people will panic'. God did in fact tell Ron that the World CUP would be ending in summer of 2012, as it always does when it is played (end in the summer!)
Poor Ron had to humble himself to his followers and is now awaiting another message from God regarding the date of the End of he World!
Watch this space and have your calendars handy (or l0 yr. diaries). Write in pencil and have an eraser at hand because Ron's god keeps changing the date of the end of the world. He used to be indecisive, but now he's not too sure.

When I was beginning my career in the leisure industry in the late 80's, the 'typical' sports centre of the day was equipped with a sports hall, a few squash courts and a swimming pool (gyms were often confined to a multigym squeezed into an old store room!!!) We thought we were at the cutting edge of facility programming when we ran after school sports coaching, 'activity' birthday parties and of course kids holiday camps.
Whilst all of these activities and sports still have a place within our leisure facilities it is becoming ever harder to engage young people in physical activity as we now compete with computer games, a plethora of TV channels, on line media sources (conveniently streamed to the phone/tablet so the viewer doesn't have to move), a variety of active and passive external leisure opportunities and unsurprisingly, we are now looking at a cohort of young people that is becoming less and less active.
Alliance Leisure prides itself on providing activities that challenge conventional wisdom to deliver physical activity opportunities that will attract young people into facilities. The formula is pretty obvious – by capturing the imagination of young people, facilities can be relevant, appealing and most of all, accessible to them. Our experience from the many developments we have carried out shows that developing activities which promote fun (with physical activity confined to being a by-product) attracts young people to participate.
Adventure play facilities provide a fun and active environment for young people to explore. Key motor skills such as running, crawling, climbing, jumping and swinging occur as children are at play. We see the provision of well designed play as a valuable addition to facilities as they promote physical activity and are commercially sustainable.
Auto belay themed climbing walls are a great young person's activity that can be equally enjoyed by children and their parents. Strength, balance, problem solving, climbing, overcoming height fears are all skills that occur whilst taking part in the activity.
Indoor skate parks and trampoline parks are other examples of activities that engage young people that would not necessarily wish to take part in traditional sport.
Our sports facilities need to evolve into family leisure destinations that offer a wide range of activities that will engage our youth of today and encourage physical activity.

U.S. Senator Tammy Baldwin Calls for Renewed Congressional Effort to Close "Terror Gap"
"Congress must act to close the terrorist gun loophole by giving the FBI the authority to block gun sales to potential terrorists."
WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Senator Tammy Baldwin today called for a renewed effort to close the "terror gap." Last November, Senator Baldwin cosponsored the Denying Firearms and Explosives to Dangerous Terrorists Act of 2015 to give the Department of Justice authority to prevent a known or suspected terrorist from buying firearms or explosives, which would close this gap. The legislation was introduced by Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) and Representative Peter King (R-NY).
"We must address a serious national security and public safety weakness and close this loophole that allows a known or suspected terrorist to swiftly pass a firearms or explosives background check and obtain a dangerous weapon," said Senator Baldwin. "Preventing people on the terrorist watch list from purchasing firearms and explosives is a commonsense action we can take to protect American lives. Congress must act to close the terrorist gun loophole by giving the FBI the authority to block gun sales to potential terrorists."
According to information prepared by the Government Accountability Office, individuals on the consolidated terrorist watch list, which includes the no-fly list, cleared a background check for a gun transaction in 94 percent of attempted transactions in 2013 and 2014 (455 out of 486 times). Between February 2004 and December 2014, individuals on the consolidated terrorist watch list cleared a background check in 91 percent of attempted transactions (2,043 of 2,233 times), according to GAO data.
The Denying Firearms and Explosives to Dangerous Terrorists Act of 2015 would:
- Allow the attorney general to deny the purchase or transfer of a firearm or explosive to a known or suspected terrorist if the prospective recipient may use the firearm or explosive in connection with terrorism.
- Maintain protections in current law that allow a person who believes he has been mistakenly prevented from buying a firearm to learn of the reason for the denial, and then to challenge the denial, first administratively with the Department of Justice, and then through a lawsuit against the Justice Department.
- Allow the Justice Department, in any administrative or court proceeding challenging the accuracy of a denied firearm or explosive transfer under the bill, to protect information that, if disclosed, would compromise national security.
Last November, one week prior to the San Bernardino shooting, Senator Baldwin and 37 Senators sent a letter to House Speaker Paul Ryan and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, calling for the bill to be brought to the House and Senate floor for consideration and a vote.
"There is no reason why suspected terrorists who we consider too dangerous to board airplanes should be able to walk into any gun store in the United States and purchase a firearm or an explosive for the purpose of carrying out a terrorist act. But today, suspected terrorists can legally purchase guns in the United States—and they're doing so, even while law enforcement may be investigating them or pursing their arrest or indictment," wrote the senators last November.

Our History
Our presence in the financial services industry goes back 10 years when our founders saw both an opportunity & a need. Opportunity to be able to help people make a sound financial plan, opportunity to be able to provide better services & raise the bar in the service standards offered in the industry! How many times do you recall going to your financial instituion.....your bank or a credit union & receiving personal attention? You are just that person in the lineup & the person behind the counter is on the hook to process you fast & move onto the next one...how many times does your financial institution call you for a health check on your financial status or plan, make necessary changes/amendments as the time & your needs & situations change. The answer is Seldom! It just seems far fetched to have a plan tailor made to your needs & review it on a periodic basis, atleast once a year, here SafeNet Financial Services sees an opportunity.
It is also a staggering statistic that approximately 35% or less canadians have sound investment knowledge & are confident on their financial plans for the future which could include Retirement Planning, Planning for their kids education, why and how much life insurance they need, tax planning and different savings incentives offered by the Federal government in Canada to help canadians save for different purposes & events during their lifetime. Here SafeNet Financial Services sees a need, a gap that needs to be addressed.
We are proudly canadian & customer satisfaction is our number one priority. This priority has helped us grow over the past 10years & we are sincerely thankful to our entire client base for putting their trust in us & to help us grow to where we are today.

Member Reviews
angela c, Reviewer
I very much enjoyed this book. I love animals and used to dream of having a job on an expedition just like this. Being let into Graham's world was an amazing experience. I love the way he chronicles everything, detailing each little piece so you can be there with him as he raises these two leopard cubs. You can hear the hyenas howling in the night, yipping to each other in their quest for scraps, the lions snuffling as they explore through the camp, it was so "in your face" I loved the raw power of it.
Jeimy G, Educator
Written in first person, van Riel takes us into the world of Graham Cooke, a game warden who is tasked with rehabilitating two young leopards that were used in a movie. Animal lovers will delight in the antics of these kitties while pondering the ethical dilemmas that the situation naturally brings up. While I loved each cat's personality endearing, what I found fascinating was the aspect of "Empty nest syndrome" that plagued Cooke as the leopards' release date drew nearer.
Janet P, Reviewer
A young guide at a wildlife preserve in South Africa is given two leopard cubs to raise while they are being used in filming a movie with the idea that he will release them into the wild (the pair was zoo-born) when they were old enough. Of course he loses his heart to the siblings, as do we. Beautifully told in the first person the book really captures the beauty of the wild and of the cats. I was enchanted by it and raced through the book.
Michelle C, Reviewer
This book made more of an impression on me than I expected it to. I don't consider myself a leopard enthusiast (not that I don't like them, but I just don't really know much about them) and I have never heard of Graham Cooke before, either. I was to find out that Graham Cooke was a game ranger, whom we meet here in 1993 as a 22-year-old working at Londolozi, a game resort in South Africa. Human emotion and animal instinct meet when he is given the opportunity to parent two six-week-old leopard cubs. With that comes the task of habituating the cubs to the dangers of the wild in preparation for their eventual release. It's a heartbreaking story of love, trust and loss. Graham Cooke spent a full year looking after Boycat and Poepface. As a reader, you feel like you get to know both of them yourself. Boycat is the playful, outgoing one, whose trust Cooke easily gains, while his sister Poepface is more of a vigilant observer, clever, reserved and protective. It was engaging reading about Cooke's relationship to the leopards, as it's certainly a difficult one. Predators are not to be underrated and they're ultimately not made for a life in cages. And yet, you get the sense that they became a family, that they shared a bond of real trust and affection. The writing was flawed, but still effective. There's an clumsy expression here and there, yet van Riel did an excellent job at portraying Cooke's feelings. However, it struck me as odd that this book, written in the first person, that felt very personal and memoir-like, was not penned by whose perspective it is taking. They seemed to have written the story closely collaborating, but still... how much creative freedom has she taken? How accurately has the story been portrayed? There's no way of finding out. It also left me wondering about the ethics of raising animals a lot. There's no doubt Cooke is full of respect for animals: there's a passage talking about how his parents took him to a zoo as a kid, as he loved animals and how he couldn't stop crying afterwards, thinking about how the animals lived in cages. It's a fair point, but it did make me ask myself if it's that different from keeping leopard cubs in order to make them star in a film (which was the point of raising those two here)? All in all, considering I originally didn't have a particular interest in the subject, this was a touching and engaging tale worth your while if you're into animal stories.

When we last issued Global Market Perspective in November 2011, adverse business and investor sentiment were driving the global real estate markets, and we signalled our concerns about a potentially weaker final quarter and a more challenging environment for 2012. Three months on, the downside risks still persist, but Q4 2011 data-points have turned out to be much better than anticipated. Anecdotal evidence of real estate activity in early 2012 indicates that most major global markets are holding firm and making steady progress through this period of economic uncertainty. Some markets are clearly softening yet, equally so, others are showing remarkable resilience.
Expectations for 2012 have been tempered but, barring significant financial system shocks, commercial real estate investment and leasing volumes are likely to be maintained at 2011 levels.

Wendy groaned as the internal monologue began its daily assault on her sanity.
Or look up fan art or fan fiction.
Her mother shot her a warning glare from across the lounge room. Nan pointed at another picture and brought her attention back.
Wendy held back an eye roll/dramatic sigh combo.
And definitely no impulse merch purchases. My phone and laptop and tablet are useless out here!
"My move!" Gracie snatched up the dice.
Mary Poppins must've had a lobotomy. Little kids are annoying and demanding.
Wendy leant back on her hands, her legs stretched under the coffee table. The carpet was scratchy, digging into her exposed skin. Looking down, she saw the red marks crisscrossing her limbs from when she'd change position to stop her legs from falling asleep. Or to escape the sweaty palms of Gracie as she wriggled around for no reason.
"Your turn," Gracie passed the die over.
They were slippery.
Kill me now, please. Send me to some place with more than just fans cooling the rooms. Hell would be cooler than this.
Sighing she tossed the die across the board. "What number did I get?"
Gracie tapped in her fingers as she counted. "Eight!"
She smiled. "Very good. Can you move my piece eight places please?" She's getting better at this.
Before she did as she was asked, Gracie shot to her feet, completely alert. "Is that Pop?"
Sure enough, the rumbling of the old boxy car filled the air along with the barking of the dogs. Both girls were on their feet and rushing to the door.
The smile bloomed over her face as the old man closed the door to the vehicle, bumping it with his hip to make sure it was shut.
"Hello girls!" He hollered.
Bare foot, Gracie rushed forward and threw her arms around Pop's waist.
Wendy waited on the porch. It took everything to resist hopping from foot to foot and flapping her hands in frustration. Come on, I want my hug too.
Pop waddled over, Gracie standing on his feet. "Wendy, my little darling." He drew her into a cuddle. The combined heat drove them apart quickly. "Into the cool of the house," he ordered.
I snorted.
Pop smirked. "I know. How many fans are on?"
"All six in the lounge room." Gracie replied. "I counted."
"Hmm, hopefully it'll be cool enough for you to watch this and feel like you're really there." He dug into his pocket and pulled out a bright pink USB stick. "Aunt June told me to give this to you. Something about re-watching while you're out of internet service."
Wendy gaped. Her heart leaping into her throat just as she started to scream. "OhmyGodOhmyGodOhmyGod!"
"What is it?" Gracie asked over and over until Wendy dropped to her knees and placed her hands on the little girl's shoulders.
In total seriousness, Wendy spoke. "We're going to watch a show and I swear, you're going to fall in love with it."
Gracie pulled a face. "Pinky swear?"

Additionally, students will learn the functions of digital photography, basic photo editing in Pixlr, sound editing in Audacity and simple video editing using iMovie. Web site creation will be taught using HTML and Google Sites. For more information, click here.
Broadcast Journalism
The students in this after-school class will be responsible for producing the various videos used on campus to promote events and school news. Students will learn the basics of broadcast journalism and apply them in the production of these videos including the weekly Panther Report. Students will learn how to operate HD cameras, edit using Adobe Premiere Pro, film on a green screen, report school events, and be an anchor for broadcast media. Students will be assigned to teams that apply to their interests and talents as part of the crew. All students will be required to keep a detailed binder and documentation of their projects. Mondays will be lecture days and days to critique the Panther Reports and other projects that have aired that day or the week prior. Wednesdays will be filming days for both Panther Report and sports activities.
Some sports activities and campus events will fall on other days. Fridays will be spent learning how to edit and as open lab time for editing projects in progress. Students will also have the opportunity to attend orientation and studio classes at CreaTV in downtown San Jose to learn how to use professional broadcast equipment including studio cameras, grid lights, microphones, sound boards, light boards and special editing programs. There will be one orientation and 2 studio classes that are optional. All additional studio classes will be available. Students are required to film 3 to 5 events including sports games.
Video Production
Digital Video Production I: Students will learn how to create digital films with the Adobe Production Suite (Premiere CS4, Aftereffects, and Photoshop) and the use of digital cameras. Students will complete exercises demonstrating the entire production process: pre-production (scripting, storyboarding), Production (lighting, filming, producing), and post-production (editing and digital special effects.) Students will study the film industry and its history, as well as current events in the film and television industries.
Digital Video Production II: Having mastered the basics in Introduction to Digital Video Production, students will be creating one mini feature in this class. Choosing to work in groups or individually, students will complete all phases of production (pre-production, production, and post-production) on one master project. Through the use of tutorials and field trips, students will expand their knowledge of the industry, the editing software, lighting techniques, and sound editing tools.
For more information about these courses, click here.
Digital Photography
Digital Photography I: This course is an introductory course to digital photography. Students will learn basic digital SLR camera operation using a school provided camera. Creativity and strong visual composition will be an emphasis in this course. Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom will be introduced and used for editing imagery.

Students will be able to link photography to other art forms and disciplines and will understand its applications to careers within contemporary society.
Digital Photography II: Photography II is an intermediate to advanced digital photography course. Students will further develop their skills in camera operation and procedures by building on the skills introduced in the first semester. In this section of the course students will learn to work with more technically advanced photographic equipment and challenging lighting conditions. Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom will be used to manipulate and alter images. Students will continue to evaluate critically their work and will engage in ongoing study of the history of photography. A strong concentration of contemporary photographic artist and the impact of imagery in modern world will also be explored.
For more information about these courses, click here.
AP Computer Science
The AP Computer Science A course is an introductory course in computer science. Because the design and implementation of computer programs to solve problems involve skills that are fundamental to the study of computer science, a large part of the course is built around the development of computer programs that correctly solve a given problem. These programs should be understandable, adaptable, and, when appropriate, reusable.
At the same time, the design and implementation of computer programs is used as a context for introducing other important aspects of computer science, including the development and analysis of algorithms, the development and use of fundamental data structures, the study of standard algorithms and typical applications, and the use of logic and formal methods. In addition, the responsible use of these systems is an integral part of the course. The topic outline on pages 8–10 summarizes the content typically taught in the AP Computer Science A course.

Haruka and Michiru Return: The Ghostly Puppet Play
|はるかみちる再び! 亡霊人形劇
|Haruka Michiru Futatabi! Bourei Ningyougeki
The Return of Haruka and Michiru! The Ghostly Puppet Show
|Air date
April 8, 1995

Kounosuke Uda
A Beautiful Transformation? The Journey and Growth of the Crybaby Usagi
"Haruka and Michiru Return: The Ghostly Puppet Play" was the second episode in the Sailor Moon SuperS Special, which consisted of three episodes.
Haruka and Michiru take a holiday, but during their stay in the hotel, Haruka comes down with a terrible fever and Michiru discovers a dark presence in their hotel.
In a dark room, there is a ventriloquist with his dummy, the latter of which complains about his hunger and that he has been waiting for hundreds of years to eat. The two reassure each other the time for their feast is soon.
Some time later, the pair are performing in a hotel and the dummy is holding a bottle which he says contains the true feelings of all the humans in the world. Michiru is sitting in the audience and while the pair on stage is deciding if they should open the bottle, she immediately leaves. Meanwhile back in their hotel room, Haruka is flirting with a maid that is checking in on her, unaware Michiru is watching and once she enters the room, the maid immediately leaves. Michiru chides Haruka for flirting and notes she is feeling better, but then Haruka then asks if Michiru has sensed anything in the hotel and Michiru says she has, but something different from what they've faced before. While they talk, they are unaware they are being watched by an eye on the clock.
Downstairs, the audience is currently all unconscious with the ventriloquist, who seemed to have the symbol of the Dead Moon Circus on his forehead. The maid walks in and screams in terror after seeing the other guests. Meanwhile, Michiru is standing on the balcony of their room and the maid appears, suggesting Michiru come back inside, but Michiru says she prefers it outside. The maid then leaps and attacks her quickly with the Dead Moon symbol appearing on her forehead. During the struggle, the maid loses consciousness and from the bedroom, Haruka's scream can be heard, thus having Michiru transform into Sailor Neptune.
In the room, Haruka is being held against the wall by the ventriloquist while he and the dummy were preparing to draw Haruka's energy out... Haruka quickly takes her Lip Rod out to transform, but in a moment of weakness, she had dropped it. The dummy starts drawing out her energy and causes her to fall unconscious until they are interrupted by Sailor Neptune. She demands they release Haruka or she'll attack; however, the ventriloquist tells her not to because if the Shadow Sealing Jar that the dummy is holding is broken, all the shadows on Earth will attack their owners. Sailor Neptune is skeptical and says there is no proof that is the truth, but the ventriloquist replies that there is no proof he is lying either. As the pair begins to drain the rest of Haruka's energy, Sailor Neptune uses Deep Submerge, which knocks the pair to the floor and shatters the bottle. The ventriloquist asks her in such a bewildered way of how she knew he was lying, to which she replied she didn't. Sailor Neptune replies that "A world without Haruka would not be worth saving".
Once Haruka is freed and regained her consciousness, she transforms into Sailor Uranus and is instructed to attack the dummy, the true master, but tried to escape. The dummy is caught in Sailor Uranus' World Shaking and is immediately destroyed. As it dies, the force that was controlling the ventriloquist fades and the hotel's guests wake up. Later, as the couple seemed to be upon a cliff near the sea, it seemed Haruka wondered who the new enemy is as she held a piece from the dummy, but then Michiru tells her the Sailor team will take care of it.
First Appearances
- This was the only televised part of Sailor Moon SuperS to feature Haruka and Michiru.
- Although Sailor Moon did not appear in this story, her voice could be heard as usual over the episodes' title.

A single-phase AC induction motor is a brushless motor designed with a single stator coil. ST offers state-of-art, rugged devices such as TRIACs, thyristors and AC switches, allowing motor speeds to be regulated in various ways, depending on the cost and performance requirements of the final application.
- Bi-directional drives
When a motor with a permanent phase-shift capacitor is used, the direction of rotation can be reversed by means of two AC switches connecting the phase-shift capacitor in series with either of the two stator windings.
- Phase-controlled drives
ST offers a silent and cost-effective variable speed drive with an innovative topology to control motor speed. A simple phase-control switch is used to vary speed by changing the motor torque.

Little Plumber 2 is the larger of our two domestic units and is designed to treat a house with 5+ bedrooms. It can also be used to treat both the rising main and the cold down pipes if they run parallel with each other as they often do in airing cupboards.
The current put into the water by LP units runs in BOTH DIRECTIONS both upstream and downstream so it doesn't matter where on the pipe you fit the unit. If, for instance, you fit the unit upstairs in the airing cupboard onto the cold riser it will still treat the cold water drinking pipe in the kitchen.

Gary Karkofsky a.k.a Merciless: The Supervillain Without Mercy (TM) returns in the fourth volume of the popular Supervillainy Saga. Having discovered the world's greatest superhero slain by his doppelganger from another reality, Merciful: The Supervillain with Mercy (TM), and the arrogant President Omega, Gary dedicates himself to overthrowing both. Unfortunately, this is harder than it looks since Merciful has all of Gary's genre savviness while President Omega has the entire brainwashed United States military behind him. In the end, though, there can be only one ruler of the world and two of these three feuding villains will have to go.

Note: This is Book 4 in the series and it works best if you have read the previous books.
Gary Karkofsky, a professional supervillain, is up against some serious foes. President Omega has brainwashed the mighty USA military while Gary's doppelganger from another reality has all of Gary's abilities and most of his knowledge. Gary, aka Merciless: The Supervillain Without Mercy, might have to do the unthinkable. He might have to become that thing he dreads most: a hero.
The gang's all back and for some of them, we get a bonus copy. For ease, the doppelganger Gary from another reality will be called Other Gary. This book was just as much fun as the previous books in the series, though I feel it has a touch more seriousness (which I liked). Gary is still popping off one-liners, there's plenty of Star Wars references, and the crazy supervillain outfits & names continue to be amusing. Also, if you're a Phipps fan, you might catch a few references to his other series here and there.
Mandy, Gary's vampire wife, has a lot of great lines in this book. Several of the characters make references to adult relationships that don't fit the standard married couple routine. Mandy's extended life and need for blood has given her an extra spin on such relationships and I have to wonder where Mandy and Gary will take their relationship from here. Is there a harem in the future? Maybe….
Both El Diablo Man and Cloak have some serious chats with Gary. There's a few points in this tale where things get a little heavy. Take for instance young Gizmo. She's definitely going to need a parent around. Also, Phipps kills off a favorite character of mine (though I do hold a secret hope that this character will return in some sort of form).
Some of my favorite scenes were actually in the first part of the book. Gary and Mandy are being held in a warped prison where they and everyone else there are under this mindcontrol. It's a cruel version of happy home-makers from the 1950s, complete with period outfits and enforced gender roles. Mandy has some great lines about blood and mayhem said in the sweetest happy significant other voice. Luckily, Night Girl comes along and helps them escape but it's at a cost.
All around, it's another great addition to the series. I like the few scenes that bend toward seriousness. It bodes of bigger things to come for Gary. Bigger things that may very well squish him.
I received a free copy of this book.
The Narration: Jeffrey Kafer Is just great at this series. His enjoyment of these characters comes through in his performance. He makes a great Gary/Other Gary and I love his snarky voice for Cindy. He's great at pulling off all the humor while also making the characters sound very concerned when they come up against a worthy foe.

Believe...Pick a stronger word than Hope...Cure.
University of Maryland Brain and Tissue Bank continues to promote the distribution of tissue from their Bank for ALS research to find a cure. The Bank has shipped more samples of ALS tissue over the past 5 months than the past 2 years combined!
Words of Hope from an ALS Clinic Director
We are often asked by our ALS patients and their families, how can we help to find a cure for ALS? There are many ways that patients diagnosed with ALS have helped in the fight to find a cure, but one of the greatest contributions that patients can and have made is through tissue donation. Many of the advances in our understanding of the biology of ALS come from studies of brain and spinal cord from ALS patients. It is because of the generosity of these patients that seminal discoveries, such as the role of TDP-43 in ALS, were made. This singular finding has led to groundbreaking understanding of the relationship between ALS and other brain diseases. Mutations in TDP-43 can cause familial ALS. This finding may lead to the identification of mechanisms that contribute to motor neuron degeneration. Tissue donation by individuals with ALS is more important than ever as we discover new genes that cause ALS and recognize that not all individuals with ALS are the same. It is important to recognize the similarities and differences between ALS patients which may help to determine responses to potential treatments. Using human tissues to conduct experiments is important because ALS is unique to human beings. While animal and cellular models of ALS have provided excellent platforms to further our understanding of this disease, investigations in tissues from ALS patients remain critical.
So how can ALS patients help to find a cure? We ask that patients diagnosed with ALS consider donating their brain and spinal cord for ALS research because it may be the gift of life for future ALS patients.

This saturday, 03/29, happenned the XIII Contest Algar Telecom, online in the URI portal.
I collaborated writing four exercises, and I will comment the solution of them in this post. If I solve the others, I may comment them in here as well, but no hurry.
Click in the link below to see the rest of the post.
Detective Watson – [link]
There are two very simples ways to solve this exercise.
If you know some sorting method, you just have to sort the values, in a way that you save the original position of them. In the end, just print the original position of the second largest value.
Another way would be to implement a method that searches for the greatest value in an array. Execute this method once, and change the resulting value to -1. In the second time you execute the method, the resulting value will be the answer.
Throwing Balls – [link]
To solve this exercise, you need to test all the possible speeds in which you can throw the ball initially.
For each choosen speed, simulate the points in which the ball falls, and if in any moment the ball falls in the position N, the answer is "possivel".
If the ball never falls in the position N, no matters which speed you throw, then the answer is "impossivel".
Bank Line – [link]
This exercise can be solved in many ways. The most straight-forward is using the concept of Equivalence Classes, in Combinatorial.
Let's forget for one second the order in which the other people are in the line. Lets represent the line with a sequence of characters, being A André, B Bruno, C Carlos and X any other person.
Given the following orderings, how many are valid?
Just the first, because André must be behind Bruno, and Bruno must be behind Carlos.
So, independently of the position of the other people, for each 6 combinations, just 1 meets the requirements of the exercise.
Knowing that, the answer can be obtained by the following formula:
Now you just have to take care of the rest of division. Note that N! is divisible by 6, because 6 is part of the factorial, but (N! Mod 10^9+7) may not be divisible by 6.
Because N >= 3, one alternative is to divide by 6 before calculating the rest of the factorial, using the formula: fact[n] = n*fact[n-1].
Resulting in fact[3] = 1, fact[4] = 4, fact[5] = 20, and there it goes.
In case you pre-compute the factorials Mod 10^9+7, instead of dividing by 6 it's possible to multiply by the modular inverse of 6 (namely, 833333341), that the effect is the same. Search about modular inverse for more details.
Board with Prizes – [link]
This exercise can be solved using the concept of Dynamic Programming. You just have to find out which patterns are compatible with which patterns, and the relationship between the sub-problems can be defined.
The first step, then, is to find out which patterns are compatible. A pattern m is compatible with a pattern k if, and only if, for each position i of the size of the patterns, m[i] != k[i] || m[i] == "." || k[i] == ".".
After that we can apply the concept of dynamic programming to take advantage of the sub-problems that repeat itselves.
Be dp[n][m] the maximum sum that is possible to obtain using the patting m in the row n:
dp[n][m] = max(dp[n+1][k]) + sum(n, m),
for each pattern k that is compatible with m,
and where sum(n, m) results in the value obtained after applying the pattern m in the row n.
Note that the exercise asks "the maximum amount that is possible to achieve". That doesn't say that the value can't be negative.
Any doubt, critic or suggestion, just leave a comment below.
I hope you have enjoyed the exercises, and see you later.
