Are you interested in learning about the benefits of cremation? If so, you are not alone. More and more people across the country are looking into cremation services for themselves and their loved ones for many great reasons. Cremation which was once seen as taboo amongst many Americans is now getting a second look. In today's article, we'll explore the benefits of cremation and why you too may want to consider this memorial option.
Saves Money
Traditionally, in New Jersey and many states across the U.S. burial services range from $8,000 up to $20,000+ depending on the types of service add-ons you choose at the time of the funeral. The cost involved in performing a wake, church services, a casket, vault, etc. can make a traditional burial very expensive.
Cremations on the other hand can be done for less than $4,000 including some of the beneficial services traditionally assigned to burials. Often times if the cremation is done quickly after the state's medical examiner's office has completed their review, embalming the deceased is not necessary.
By avoiding the need for a casket, vault and traditional body dressings, you are able to save money that can then be put toward other services associated with funerals.
More Flexibility
Did you know that even if you choose to do a cremation over a burial, you can still have a traditional funeral service for your loved one? All funerals in New Jersey must be hosted and serviced by a licensed funeral director. The funeral director is the person that you need to speak with regarding your plans to bury or cremate your loved one. Based on your choice, they will make arrangements with the cemetery to either do the burial or cremation.
Funeral Homes have lots of options available when it comes to cremation services. You can choose to have a traditional wake, rent a casket and then have your loved one cremated without the casket. This type of option gives your family the option to honor the deceased person traditionally in a religious setting while still saving costs associated with all funerals.
Environmentally Friendly
Cremations are considered a more green, eco-friendly option as the cremains take up less space in the environment. Traditional burials require a large amount of space in the ground (or mausoleum) to be completed. As more and more people populate the earth, there becomes less and less space available in cemeteries for people to be buried.
For people who are committed to eco-friendliness, cremation is a great choice. Cremation urns can be buried in the ground or kept at home. Some people even choose the option of having the cremains scattered on land or in the ocean. Another option for cremains is to have them turned into cremation jewelry.
To learn more about cremation, be sure to speak with your chosen funeral director, as they are best equipped to guide you through all of the options available to you.
Becoming A More Popular Choice
Cremations as mentioned earlier are becoming a more and more popular choice amongst Americans. For centuries people in the east have performed cremations due to religious reasons, but it is now taking hold in the United States.
As more people become aware of the economic benefits and the eco-friendly nature of cremations, it has become a very popular option. Cremations can be performed within a few hours allowing families to receive their loved one's cremains within just a couple of days.
If you are interested in learning more about cremations, the costs involved and the funeral service options available to you, please contact a licensed funeral home. Funeral directors within funeral homes have many options and contacts available that would love to help you through the process.
Evergreen Cemetery & Crematory in Hillside, NJ would love to be your choice for all cemetery needs. If you would like to speak with us or have questions about the benefits of cremation, please do not hesitate to contact us or call us at (908) 352-7940. We have a scattering garden dedicated to cremains usage as well as niche cremation entombments that allow you to keep your loved one's cremains sealed in our beautiful mausoleum.

The best juicer is one that makes juice while extracting juice from the fruit or vegetable and without compromising on its. However, people's views about the best juicer may vary from person to person. We will help you in figuring out the thing which will help you in selecting the best juicer. The important aspects regarding the good juicer are as follows which will help you in solving your problem.
Type of Juicers
There are mainly two types of juicers in the market: centrifugal and slow juicers. If you are just getting into juicing and you don't want to dedicate very much time for it; you should probably look for a centrifugal juicer. They make juices at very high speeds and their parts can be easily washed in the dishwasher. These are great machines, but they do have some downfalls. They work very well with hard fruits and veggies but they don't work very well with leafy greens or wheatgrass. Additionally, the high speeds that they operate at can help encourage the loss of valuable enzymes and nutrients. However, these juicers still produce healthier juice than those packaged juices you buy from a grocery store. Therefore, if you aren't interested in leafy greens and you don't need to have the healthiest juice possible, get a centrifugal juicer. You'll love it!
Masticating juicers juicer takes out more juice from the fruit and gives you juices with more nutritional value. They can even make juices of leafy greens and can be used as a food processor. Masticating juicers are of different types:
- Single Gear: These masticating juicers have one gear which chews single or two fruit at a time. Single gear juicers have lesser RPM but they can make juice faster. One gear allows one or two fruit at a time passing through the chamber so it gets through the machine more quickly. This does not affect the quality of juice but have relatively quick juicing process associated with it.
- Twin Gear: Twin gear makes two augers chewing to your fruit for extracting juice. These juicers make very high yield of juice from whatever is sent through them. In this machine, you have to wait a little for the juice because of slower process.
- Cold-Press Juicers: The motor of cold-press juicers runs at a speed between 80 RPMs and 200 RPMs. This speed does not affect the nutritional enzymes lost due to oxidation. Motor spinning does not affect the juice or in other words juice does not heat up which consumes enzymes of the juice. They make flavorsome, fresh, and nutritious juices however; the juicing process is longer due to low speeds and gentle processing action.
Price Range
Juicers come in all different shapes and sizes so you have choices in price range. Good juicers may be high priced but would last longer and perform well when used on daily basis. You would get a better warranty if you are buying an expensive one. There are cheaper versions of the juicers in the market but their performance and durability vary with the price. Do some online research regarding the features and reviews for different products before making your decision.

Computing for SKA 2014
Posted on 04 February 2014
Have you have heard of the SKA? You'd be forgiven if the first thing that came to mind was the rock steady and reggae mashup music genre that originated in the late '50s. However, we're talking technology, not music.
In the world of IT, SKA is an acronym for 'square kilometre array', a global project which aims to provide answers to the tricky questions we have about the origin and evolution of the universe. It attempts to do all this by utilising the world's largest radio telescope.
Formed in the UK in early 2011, the SKA now has ten member countries who help form the 'SKA Organisation'. The Ministry of Economic Development is responsible for representing New Zealand.
To achieve its lofty goals, the SKA will combine the signals received from thousands of small antennas spread over a distance of more than 3000km to simulate a single giant radio telescope capable of extremely high sensitivity and angular resolution.
New Zealand is essential to the mapping process due to our location in the bottom corner of the Earth and is home to many of the most distant stations.
It is far from a straight forward undertaking and due to the magnitude of the project it has frequently been referred to as the 'ultimate big data undertaking'.
Why am I telling you all this? Here's why. This month (27/28th) AUT are hosting the 3rd Multicore World Conference and in conjunction with the event New Zealand based company Open Parallel are holding a workshop on 'Computing for SKA'.
Open Parallel are specialists in parallel programming, multicore technology and software system infrastructure as well as being a member of the NZSKAIC (New Zealand Square Kilometre Array Industry Consortium). The NZSKAIC is responsible for developing capabilities in multicore software adapted for SKA requirements.
The two day event will feature a number of SKA experts describing the computing challenges that are encountered when designing the biggest radio-telescope in the world while the second day will feature industry participants presenting their offering to address SKA expectations.
Guest speakers include Tim Cornwell, SKA Architect & Head of Computing, SKA Organisation and Andrew Ensor – Director of NZ SKA Alliance, Research Senior Lecturer at AUT.
When you consider that the data collected by the SKA in a single day would take nearly two million years to playback on an iPod you know this will be an event worth attending for anyone working in the New Zealand ICT industry. Mind boggling is guaranteed!
You can find out more about Computing for SKA and register for the event here.

Have you sat on your iPhone 6 recently? You might want to check your screen. Since the new iPhone's release last Friday, customers have been reporting that when they increase pressure on their phone by sitting on it or, as demonstrated by one man via Youtube, bending it with their bare hands – the iPhone screen bends and cracks. Dubbed "bendgate," this new customer complaint comes at a tough time for Apple. Though their newest iPhone had a record breaking first weekend (with over 10 million new iPhones sold), customers soon began to complain that the new mobile operating system, iOS 8, comes with a few problems of its own, including dropped cell signals and a failing fingerprint sensor. To address the iOS 8 problem, Apple quickly pulled the software and returned iPhones back to normal but how they will address "bendgate" is another story. The Next Web contacted an Apple support representative and the rep explained that the iPhone would have to be inspected in person by an Apple 'Genius,' and that person could determine whether or not to replace it. "That is 100 percent up to the Genius you speak with at the store," the specialist wrote, "If it doesn't pass the inspection, then you'll have to buy a new one."

Richard Durand Releases 1st Album In 6 Years With "The Air We Breathe"
Allow us to catch you up… It's been six years since Richard Durand despatched us his boldly high-concept 'Richard Durand Versus The World' album. It's cheap to say that within the meantime his outlook on many features of life – each private – have shifted.
Over that interval he has circled the planet a dozen + occasions, DJing, producing travelling, experiencing and life balancing. It's additionally a timeframe inside which he skilled loss (by way of the passing of his long-time buddy & supervisor) and a close to sizeable shift in his trance music tastes. (The latter prompting him to depart the 'In Search Of Sunrise' combine collection).
Consequently Richard has been on album-pause whereas the frequencies realigned and life loops resolved. He at all times knew that when he returned to the medium (after 2009's 'Always The Sun', 2011s 'Wide Awake' and 2012's 'R.D.V.T.W.'), it needed to be with a world-beater. To that finish, Durand has spent a lot of the final 14 months growing a brand new observe assortment, robust in each quantity (it options 19 productions) and sonic nature. It additionally bucks the present development of collab, collab, collab, its meeting being much more Richard's personal singular tackle the trance sound. Where studio partnerships happen, artistically they achieve this organically. They happen with likeminded operators (Marco V, Mark Sherry, Sied van Riel, by means of instance) who share Richard's imaginative and prescient of a harder, extra propulsive clubbing tomorrow. Similarly vocal cuts are distinct of their rarity – Christina Novelli and Mike Schmidt (final heard on Cosmic Gate's 'Nothing Can Touch You Now') make appearances all through its course.
The album is a launch whose essence is certain within the oneness of the hypnotic, marching and certainly flat-out entrancing character of trance. 'The Air We Breathe' is as a lot an exhalation as an inhalation for the Dutchman, and one with the unmistakable subtext of 1 musical period passing and the start of one other.
The album overtures with 'Insolidus', which Richard co-produced with Geert Huinink. Through Durand's remixing of Huinink's (the legendary co-writer of Tiësto's opening three albums) 'The Sacred Vine', Geert makes a second look however a number of tracks later. Vocal quantity 'Kill The Fear' (sung by Mike Schmid) and the deeper fringe of 'Land Of Angels' additional help in 'The Air We Breathe's improvement.
From there, its physics turn out to be markedly extra gravity-defying, and the album gears as much as the intense enterprise of flooring elevation. 'Skies Above', 'Aida', 'Lotus' and the Sied van Riel-coproduced 'Universal Minds' collectively put it in flight mode.
With the midpoint-marking, 'Pandora' and the Mark Sherry co-produced 'Cosmic Dawn' comes one other pivot level. It assumes a more durable, harder, extra angular profile, as (the tellingly titled) 'Savage', 'Toxic', 'Vortex', (alongside Marco V') and the deliciously unsettling 'Boogieman' provide it an onrush of '4AM'-ness. At observe 19, the album emerges blinking into the sunshine, with Richard's Beatport chart-topping, most up-to-date single (alongside Christina Novelli), 'The Air I Breathe'.
An LP that faces as much as the six-years-later challenges and surmounts every by way of sheer auditory power, Richard Durand's fourth album 'The Air We Breathe' is offered to stream/buy right here at this time: https://richarddurand.choons.at/tawb

I have a lot of single friends who use various dating websites to find true love. A time or two my friends allowed me to view their full dating site profiles. As a taken gal who met my guy the old-fashioned way (face-to-face, not shopped), I am always amused by these websites. Many sites promise to find the perfect match, but what if you want to date outside your intellectual potential or interests?
What if really you just want to bag a sexy, smart, and accomplished person?
When I was single, my biggest fear was I would sound unintelligent and boring to my date. Over the years I have collected a handful of phrases you can use on a date that are GUARANTEED to make you the smartest fucker on the planet. And get that date sucked.
1: Begin any story with the phrase, "When I was in the Peace Corp…." or "When I backpacked through Europe….."
2: Tell the date their name meaning. Who the hell cares if you get it right. A lifelong relationship is built on bullshit. EXAMPLE: Did you know the meaning of the name Jennifer? It is French for "she who is most beautiful."
3: Preface any interest your date has with, "I read in the New York Times/Wall Street Journal/Paris Review….." EXAMPLE: "You like banana splits? I read in the Wall Street Journal that ice cream fat lipids are very beneficial for reproductive health if consumed in the morning." Bam! Get you some.
4: Pretend you are a food/beverage connoisseur while at dinner. General Rule: Sniff, Slurp Slurp, Hold in Mouth, Make a Contemplative Face, Comment for Beverages. Turn Plate, Observe Dish, Comment Color Palette, First Bite, Fake Orgasm for Main Courses. This also works well in the bedroom.
5: Ask your date, "Do you speak French/Spanish/Italian/Swahili/Russian?" Make sure they say "no" to one, then make up a phrase in a language. EXAMPLE: "Do you speak Italian? No? The Italians, especially in the region of Tuscany, have a phrase they like to say in a similar situation–le tette sono impressionanti. It means, 'Let's have a good time!'" (It actually means Your titties are awesome. Compliment and smart skills. Two birds, one stone.)
6: Add the word "artisan" to any noun. EXAMPLE: "Let's skip dessert here. I know a great artisan chocolate shop/artisan dildo shop/artisan cocktail bar around the corner."
7: If you don't have a tattoo, I would recommend buying a Sharpie, finding a cool symbol from another culture, and trace it on your forearm. Then you can roll up your sleeve, show it proudly, then say, "This is Chinese for, 'I walk alone.'"
8: If you are fortunate enough to get your date back to your place, be prepared! Throw various foreign language magazines throughout your house, buy used textbooks on the smartest subjects available at a resale bookstore, stacks of Sartre, Heidegger, Lacan, Plato, Delsarte. Have a radical political poster on your wall.
9: While at your home, mention you have a conference call with the Sorbonne in the morning and must check your messages. Pre-load your answering machine with calls from foreign people you've invented. Use your skills of improvisation to laugh at the appropriate moments in the messages.
10: After making love to your date (if sex on first date is your persuasion), say, "I thought reaching the peak of the Himalayas was the biggest thrill of my life….until now." BOOM!

One of the most striking trends in smartphone design is the push towards ever-larger screen sizes. Not only has average screen size increased steadily since 2008, the so-called 'phablet' market is poised to explode.
However, large screens are not to everyone's taste, and although most smartphone manufacturers are embracing the larger phone concept, several have also launched 'mini' versions of their flagship devices – including Samsung with its Galaxy S4 Mini and HTC with its One Mini.
While these phones appear to be smaller, cheaper versions of their flagship equivalents, both Samsung and HTC have made compromises when it comes to specifications. For example, the Galaxy S4 Mini has a 1.7GHz dual-core processor and 8GB of internal memory, compared to a 1.9GHz quad-core processor and 16GB of memory for the Galaxy S4.
With the release of the Xperia Z1 Compact, Sony has broken this trend. The smartphone may be smaller than the Z1 flagship, but it has many of the same features, including a 2.2GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 chipset, 2GB of RAM, 16GB internal storage, and a 20.7-megapixel camera. In other words, it is the same top-of-the-range device in a smaller package.
The Xperia Z1 Compact has a 4.3-inch display, (slightly bigger than the iPhone 5s), and is slightly fatter than the Z1 at 9.5mm. However, it is lighter than many of the smartphones with competing specs, weighing in at 137g. The rounded edges also mean it is comfortable to hold in one hand.
The device sports a robust aluminium case, clad with 'Dragontrail' scratch-resistant glass on both front and back. While this gives the phone a premium feel, the glass picks up fingerprints easily, and also seems to attract dust and fluff, so you may find yourself wiping it a lot.
Like the other models in Sony's Xperia Z range, the Z1 Compact is waterproof. This means the microUSB port, SIM and microSD slots have removable covers, which are slightly fiddly to put on and take off. However, the headphone jack is waterproofed on the inside, meaning there is no need for a cover. Sony's signature round silver power button is also easy to access on the right hand side of the device.
One of the areas where the Xperia Z1 Compact differs from its big brother is the battery, with the Z1 Compact offering a reduced battery capacity of 2300mAh compared to the Xperia Z1's 3000mAh. However, thanks to some automated power-saving features, the Z1 Compact lasted more than 36 hours on a single charge in my tests.
Sony also allows you to extend the battery life further by putting the phone into 'Stamina' mode, which shuts off data and inhibits power usage when the phone's screen is in standby.
The Xperia Z1 Compact's display is slightly lower-spec than the Z1, offering a pixel density of 341ppi compared to 440ppi. However, at this scale there is not a noticeable loss of clarity. Contrast, brightness and colour saturation are all excellent, and viewing angles are good.
The Z1 Compact ships with the previous version of the Android software, Android 4.3 Jelly Bean, but an update to 4.4.2 KitKat is promised. Sony has added a few customisations, such as a suite of app search tools that are accessible from the app page with a swipe gesture, but these are fairly intuitive.
In my testing, I did notice a few software glitches. At one point the power button became non-responsive, and a restart was required to get it working again. The home and back buttons also became inactive a couple of times. However, I am putting this down to it being an early release model, and something that Sony should be able to fix fairly easily.
Overall, I was very impressed with the Xperia Z1 Compact. It is a stylish device, with a high-end feel and excellent specifications. The black handset that I tested was a little masculine for my tastes, but Sony also offers the device in yellow, white and pink. I was also impressed with the battery life.
It will be interesting to see whether other manufacturers follow Sony's lead and start producing 'mini' and 'compact' handsets that cater to customers with a preference for smaller screens that do not want to compromise on quality.

This is the story of a boy whose name is Munna. I hardly know him but I know his name because I have heard his friends calling him by that name.
I live in South Delhi. As you know the south side of any city is rich in any part of the world. But that does not mean that South Delhi is full of 'only rich' people. You could say it is 'for rich people only'. Even if it is only for them, the rich people have a problem; they cannot live without poor people around. There are two reasons for this.
I heard Munna telling his friends one day: "Rich people want poor people around them because only the presence of poor people gives them the feeling of richness. What is the point in being rich in a place where only rich people live? They need some poor people around so that they could feel important. Haven't you seen my father jumping up and saluting the 'malik' when he comes out of the 'kothi'? Malik does not acknowledge my papa's salute. But I am sure internally he must be feeling very good."
I was really impressed by Munna's clarity of perception. I have been a pen pusher in a newspaper desk for almost two decades and till that day when I heard him speak to his friends, I never thought in those lines. Now you must be curious what reason Munna has next for rich people wanting poor people around.
"Who will carry their filth?" Munna asks his friends. "Who will hoard those abuses they spit here and there randomly? Do you what my mother told me the other day? She gets abused for doing her job well and if she does not do her job well then too she gets abused. So poor people like my mother have developed a new technique. Make sure that everything is done in such a way that they look perfect, yet not perfect. She cleans bibiji's and her college going son's underpants in the same bucket. Then she curses under her breath while doing it."
"How do you know all this?" questions one of the urchins.
"I overhear mother telling all these to Papa at night," Munna says in a boastful voice.
"Then you must be seeing your Papa mounting your mother," says a wily one with an intention to provoke Munna.
"Oh, mother fucker, you must be helping them in that too," Munna retorts. All the children laugh.
I am not particularly offended when kids in the streets talk in such a filthy language, especially when they are around filth. I live between the posh colony and the slum behind it. It is almost a no man's land of lower middle class tenements in which I have a one room set, which they call one BHK, means one Bed room, Hall, Kitchen. In my case, I could simply say I have something that could sound like that for a South Delhi address but the truth is there is no different ones; one room makes all these three things; bedroom, hall and kitchen. The bathroom-toilet facilities are on a share basis. Early bird relieves itself without tension. In such places unfortunately there are a no late birds. There is no problem in believing in an adage. But there is a problem when everyone lives it to the dot.
Munna and his friends do not have a problem. One misshapen plastic bottle and some dirty water in it is enough for a royal morning ablution. All the male folk in the slums could squat inside the ridge area which should have been a beautiful public park had it not been deliberately maintained as a dumping pit, and share their life which generally they feel is in the download slide. Those constipated Richie riches would salivate if they see the variety of turds ejected by those scrawny bums. One or two splashes from the bottle, a day's job is done.
"Do you know why our shit is not the problem but their filth is?" one day Munna asks this question to his bewildered friends. I am a witness; a passerby, a rubber necked enthusiast for scandal. But I am impressed by that eleven year old boy's intelligence and I wonder from where he gets these questions.
As nobody answers Munna answers himself, "We shit and the suvars, pigs come and eat them up. But the filth that these rich people produce, my God, that is not eaten by anybody. Yes, cows eat and die. They feed cows but rotten rotis. The fight is now between cows and us. Cows also want plastic and we also want. Cows get a temporary fill and a long term illness, we get a some money from the junk shop. But look at the filth here. None is produced by us. We are filth sorters, they are the real filth creators."
"Why then," the other urchin pitches in, "they roll their glasses up, cover their noses with fresh hand kerchief, put on goggles and jump to the other side when they pass by it?"
Munna laughs, "You are a stupid, Murda. Who will claim leftover food, used plates and their own shit?"
They all laugh.
"I have always tried to see what lies in their homes, just to see how this much filth is created by these people?" Munna ruminates.
"Ask your Papa and Mummy, they work there, don't they?" Murda says.
"Papa does not get beyond the gate, and Mummy does not get beyond kitchen," says Munna. "Both these places bring filth out but I want to know where exactly it is created?"
"If it is not in the kitchen, it must be in the bedroom," says the wily one.
"If not in the bedroom, will it be in the hall?" asks Murda.
"Can there be a place within those reflecting window panes and gloomy doors and menacing gates other than kitchen, bedroom and hall, a third place where they create so much of filth," Munna looks at his friends. They all wear the thinking cap.
Such perspective on life, such clarity on thought and such forthrightness of expression, I just cannot believe it.
I think about Munna and his future. What would become of him? Will he become a gatekeeper like his Papa and marry another girl whose future is already written as a housemaid? Will he become a gangster or a local goon protected by some local politician? Or a politician himself?
The best future I can conjure up for him is the role of a politician, compassionate, visionary and pragmatic. Munna could become one. I smile unto myself.
Next day I see him again. This time I see him washing a truck parked just next to the dump yard which grows into the road like a living organism at night and recoils back in the day when the Municipality cleaners come with their shovels and push carts often surrounded by crows, cows, official rag pickers and rag pickers for fun like Munna and Murda.
Munna asks for ten rupees from the sleepy truck driver and he wins in the bargain. He gets a ten rupees note from the dirty driver who has just thrown a squishy condom out of his cabin at the wily one. He picks it up, smells and throws it back into the cabin. The driver does not seem to notice it. He has already gone back to sleep.
"What will we buy?" asks Munna. They huddle together.
A cricket ball? An ice-cream? A cricket bat? A football? A pair of sneakers? A plate of puri and subzi? Three bananas? Three eggs?
Suddenly they find that nothing could come in that ten rupee note.
"What about a top up card?" Munna says gleefully.
"Of what?" Murda asks.
"Of Airtel," says the wily one dispassionately.
"Do we have a mobile phone for that?" asks Murda.
"Why don't we snatch it from him?" Munna points to some distance.
Suddenly I see his finger coming to my direction and the boys taking to their heels.
I run to the nearest Metro station. To my office and to my good for nothing life.

What ways did Voltaire criticize the church and religion?
Examples of this and all the religions that were criticized?
Examples of this and all the religions that were criticized?
In his novel Candide, Voltaire often criticized religious beliefs of the times. His criticism of religion surfaces throughout the entire story. The kindness of the Anabaptist that Candide met showed the silliness of religious prejudices. The old woman's story of her father, Pope Urban X, and the life of wealth she lived as a child shows the corruption of the Catholic clergy....Voltaire also attacked the traditional religion of the day by showing the benefits of a better religion. He used a conversation between an old man and Candide in Eldorado to display this ideal religion. After questioning the man about whether or not his people had a religion and what God it was that they worshipped, Candide asked to see some of their priests. The old man's response was that they were all priests, they needed no special people to interfere in their worship with God. To this, Candide exclaimed, "What! You have no monks who teach, argue, rule, plot and burn people who don't agree with them?" (67). The old man replied that they would be mad if they did. The religion that the people of Eldorado had was much simpler than any of the European religions. Voltaire spoke of this religion to show how the clergy were unnecessary and sometimes even harmful, and how a simple religion might benefit Europeans better.

Nexus 6 vs Galaxy Alpha: which device should you buy?
The Samsung Galaxy Alpha is now available for purchase in the regular sales channels and marks Samsung's move from the regular polycarbonate housing to trying to emulate the same design and quality of Apple products. Is the Galaxy Alpha worth its price tag for its build quality or should you hold out for the release of the Nexus 6 in the coming weeks? We take a look at both devices side by side.
From generation to generation, the Nexus series of smartphones jumps to different manufacturers, so it's understandable that the design of these devices changes constantly. The Nexus 6, being developed by Motorola, is based around the Moto X (2014), and it might just be the prettiest Nexus device yet. It's larger than the Moto X, housing a 5.96-inch screen, but it features similar camera placement with ring LED flash. Stereo front-facing speakers and aluminium bezels round off this premium handset.
The Galaxy Alpha marks a change of design philosophy over at Samsung. With the Alpha, Samsung has moved away from the polycarbonate plastic that was traditional in it's previous builds and moved towards a stylish metal frame and matte back material that fits perfectly into your hand. One immediate notices just how light the device is compared to the material that is built with.
The Nexus 6 features a 5.96-inch AMOLED, 2,560 x 1,440 Pixel (493 ppi) display. Though we are yet to go hands-on with the device, we already know that the Nexus 6 is at the top-end of the resolution spectrum, and primed to take advantage of new games and apps which support such high-definition screens.
The Galaxy Alpha features a 4.7 inch super AMOLED HD display that brings with it the same quality of most Samsung devices: bright colors and high contrast.
The Samsung Galaxy Alpha runs Android 4.4.4 with the latest version of Touchwiz currently available. The interface is well known to many and incorporates the standard Samsung flat design and icons that we've become used to since the release of the Galaxy S5.
On the side of the Nexus 6, this will arrive with the brand new version of Android 5.0, entitled Android Lollipop, and all of the new goodies it offers. While the Galaxy Alpha is expected to also received the Android Lollipop update, this will likely be several months later than the release date of the Nexus 6.
The Samsung Galaxy Alpha has an octa-core processor that does its job well: this smartphone was amazingly fluid in our tests. The Nexus 6 makes use of an impressive quad-core Snapdragon 805 processor which runs at 2.7 GHz. More cores doesn't neccessarily mean faster speed, and we expect the Nexus 6 might well outperform the Alpha's processing capabilities in most instances, but we will need to wait for its official release before we can make a concrete comparison.
The battery on the Galaxy Alpha is one of its weaker aspects. At 1,860 mAh, this is barely enough to get you through a day's worth of usage before needing a recharge. On paper, the Nexus 6 seems to be the outright winner in the battery department with a 3220 mAh battery inside. However, when combined with a its QHD display and 3 GB of RAM, this could get gobbled up by processes pretty fast. Thankfully, the Nexus 6 will quickly be able to get back up to speed again seeing as it has Motorola's Turbo Charging functionality, allowing for a huge 8-hour battery injection in just 30 minutes.

All of this remains pretty speculative until we get the Nexus 6 in our hands. However, if you're trying to decide between the Galaxy Alpha and the Nexus 6, it might be a good idea to just hold out for a few weeks to be able to get a true representation of the new Nexus when it's released.
It looks like the Nexus 6 will overpower the Galaxy Alpha in most ways, and since it also undercuts the price, it's probably in the lead right now. Until we get a clearer picture of the Nexus 6 camera and battery performance (and see just how big the screen is) though, we can't make any final judgement.
Which device do you think will be the best? Let us know in the comments below.

Pluribus Capital was founded in 2009 by James A. Finkelstein, George Green and Matthew Doull to focus on acquiring and managing industry leading media properties with high growth potential, particularly those with strong brand recognition across multiple platforms including digital, print and events.
And acquire Pluribus has. Together with Guggenheim Partners, a global diversified financial services firm, Pluribus (which is doing business as e5 Global Media) is the new owner of The Hollywood Reporter, Billboard, Adweek, Brandweek, Mediaweek, The Clio Awards, Backstage and Film Journal International.
Sharon Waxman of The Wrap, spoke to hedge-fund investor Matthew Doull, about the acquisition of The Hollywood Reporter.
Asked about his plans for the Reporter, Doull said: "We don't see it as an investment in print. We see it as an investment in generating news, data and analysis for a specific audience. We're very focused on providing something that that particular business community needs."
He said print may not be around forever: "At the end of the day, the journalist these days who doesn't break news on a 24-hour basis isn't going to succeed. But there's a real place for really good analysis."
That's true, and for the moment that place is not the Hollywood Reporter. Nor has it been for a long time. But there you have the rationale for resurrecting the place.

Today I am gonna answer the question, "What is New Creation Theology?" I've been talking about it here at the blog for the last two days, but I'm not sure the reader knows what I mean by it.
Just to recap: according to Galatians 6:15-16, circumcision nor uncircumcision (being Jew or Gentile) is insignificant; the rule or standard by which to measure a person is "new creation." In Galatians 6:16, Paul calls this a rule (the Greek word "kanon," from which we derive our English word, "canon"), and says that peace and mercy will be upon the one who lives by this rule.
Earlier this morning I engaged the text of Galatians 3:28 which has been used by egalitarians to argue for women in ministry. On the basis of Galatians 3:28 alone, women have a place in ministry. I showed that, in line with Gordon Fee's interpretation, Galatians as a book is all about ecclesiology—how the Christian community should live together despite its various distinctions (be they ethnic, economic, social, gendered, etc.). I walked the reader through Paul's confrontation with Peter in Galatians 2 and showed that Paul was concerned with more than just Peter acknowledging the salvation of the Gentiles—Paul wanted Peter to act on the soteriological position of the Gentiles by eating with them WITHOUT SHAME because they were "new creation" in Christ! Consequently, the same Paul who wanted the rule of New Creation to drive Peter's ecclesiology wants all believers in Christ (yes, even complementarians!) to have the rule of New Creation to drive their ecclesiology as well.
Having said all this, I now want to tackle the issue at hand: what is New Creation Theology? To answer this question, we will need to look at the following passage: 2 Corinthians 5.
14For the love of Christ(T) controls us, because we have concluded this: that(U) one has died for all, therefore all have died; 15and he died for all,(V) that those who live might no longer live for themselves but(W) for him who for their sake died and was raised.
16From now on, therefore,(X) we regard no one according to the flesh. Even though we once regarded Christ according to the flesh, we regard him thus no longer. 17Therefore, if anyone is(Y) in Christ, he is(Z) a new creation.[b](AA) The old has passed away; behold, the new has come. 18All this is from God,(AB) who through Christ reconciled us to himself and gave us(AC) the ministry of reconciliation; 19that is, in Christ God was reconciling[c] the world to himself,(AD) not counting their trespasses against them, and entrusting to us(AE) the message of reconciliation. (2 Corinthians 5:14-19, ESV)
This passage is the main passage in favor of New Creation Theology. It not only tells us that every man in Christ is "new creation," but it also goes on to state what it means to be new creation: "the old has passed away; behold, the new has come" (v.17).
What does it mean to be "new creation"? to be new creation means to be in Christ. And, because a person is in Christ, the hierarchical distinctions (such as gender, ethnicity, and class status) are made null and void. Because of this, Paul writes in verse 16,
"From now on, therefore, we regard no one according to the flesh."
Regarding this verse, Gordon Fee writes,
"He[Paul] asserts that the new creation brought about by Christ's death and resurrection nullifies viewing anyone/anything from the 'OLD AGE' perspective (Greek KATA SARKA, 'according to the flesh'). Why? Because Christ's death has brought the whole human race under the sentence of death (2 Cor. 5:14), so that those who live in God's new order do so for the One who died for them and was raised again (2 Cor. 5:15). Thus being 'in Christ' means belonging to the new creation: the old has gone, the new has come (2 Cor. 5:17). This radical, new-order point of view—resurrection life marked by the cross—lies at the heart of everything Paul thinks and does (cf. Phil. 3:4-14)" ("Discovering Biblical Equality," pg. 178).
Now some may say that I am stretching this concept a bit too far. And the complementarian is probably condemning me into outer darkness at this point (where there is weeping and gnashing of teeth); however, I have proof for the claim that Gordon Fee makes (and that I believe): to demonstrate, we will now look at Galatians 3:28, along with Colossians 3:11 and 1 Corinthians 12:13. I'll set them up here so you won't have to worry about finding them.
28(E) There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave[a] nor free,(F) there is no male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus. (Gal. 3:28. ESV)
11(A) Here there is not Greek and Jew, circumcised and uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave,[a] free; but Christ is(B) all, and in all. (Col. 3:11, ESV)
13For(AA) in one Spirit we were all baptized into one body—(AB) Jews or Greeks, slaves[d] or free—and(AC) all were made to drink of one Spirit. (1 Cor. 12:13, ESV)
In all three verses, we find that "Jews and Greeks" are mentioned; "slave and free" are mentioned. But what we find different in these three passages concerns the designations of "male and female" and "barbarian and Scythian." First, regarding male and female, we know that these two genders are opposites: one cannot be both male and female at the same time (seeing that "female" is the feminine "male"). However, the distinctions "barbarian" and "Scythian" are not polar opposites—rather, they are two shades of the same color:
"These two expressions are not here set in contrast to one another. The Scythians were BARBARIANS, but were generally considered to be THE MOST EXTREME FORM; THEY WERE THE WILDEST AND MOST SAVAGE OF THE BARBARIANS" ("The Believers' Bible Commentary," William McDonald and Art Farstad, pg. 2010).
To place "barbarian" and "Scythian" in relation to each other, we first have to know what a "barbarian" is. Merriam-Webster Dictionary online gives us two definitions:
(1) of or relating to a land, culture, or people alien and usually believed to be inferior to another land, culture, or people.
(2) lacking refinement, learning, or artistic or literary culture.
Barbarians were believed to be inferior; and they were given this label because they
were usually uneducated. Barbarians were savages, those who seemed to be out of touch with human civilization (and even reality). Scythians, however, were "the wildest and most savage of the barbarians," which means they were the ABSOLUTE WORST!
And yet, as Paul wrote in Colossians 3:11, "Christ is all, and IN ALL." The wonderful thing for Paul was that this rule of "New Creation" included EVERYONE. No matter what societal standing one had, EVERYONE had equal standing in the eyes of God, and before God.
But, that's not all. Not only did the New Creation Rule affect one's standing before God, but also ONE'S STANDING BEFORE GOD'S PEOPLE! As I stated in my last post on Galatians 3:28, our soteriology—our belief that God saves all who come to Him—must influence our ecclesiology—how we carry out this New Creation Rule amongst the community of believers. In future posts, I will focus on how soteriology affects ecclesiology. Paul certainly believed it did—and what's good for the apostle Paul is good for us, too.

Trigger warning: This article contains nsfw material (light nudity) and discussion of hentai themes such as noncon, loli, etc. If you feel this sort of thing might disturb you please don't read it.
Erotic art in manga, commonly known as hentai, is a very difficult genre to approach. There are myriad titles that include a huge variety of fetishes, some more common than others. Still, even in such a vast market, repetitiveness is an issue. Many mangaka and publishers seem to compete on who is going to create the most extreme and/or weird story, caring little about plot, characters or anything that'd give a title depth (no pun intended). In my opinion it's hard to find original and interesting material that doesn't follow cliches. Like in most industries, so in this one hidden gems are usually found in the underground scene. Eldrik Aetherial is one of those special designers who love hentai and try to take their work one step forward at a time. His latest project "Fairies vs Tentacles" seems to gain more and more attention from the hentai fandom as it progresses. A light-hearted mix of craziness and naughtiness, I believe this is a comic fans of the genre should support. Eldrik Aetherial is here to further introduce you to his work, tell us his view on how it is to be a hentai artist in 2015 and much more.
The Interview
Neko-chi (N): Introduce yourselves to us.
Eldrik Aethervial (EA): Hello! My name is Eldrik Aethervial, but I am also known on the internet as Bobbydando. I'm a freelancer digital artist who is specialized in fantasy and hentai (a.k.a. adult) fantasy. I worked on several little projects in the past but I am mostly known for the "Tentacle Dungeon" and my newest, biggest project so far, "Fairies vs Tentacles". My main language is French, but I am also fluent in English, and while I use English mostly on the Internet I wish to eventually do my projects in both languages. My goal in life is to create comics, both hentai and regular, but I want to do so independently, without needs for editors or sponsors, which was hard to pull off until crowd-funding became a thing.
(N): When did you start drawing hentai and what attracted you to the genre?
(EA): I have drawn all my life, and I've drawn hentai as soon as sex became something interesting to me, ahahah! I became fascinated with hentai mostly because it was a hidden, foreign thing to me. I was born in 1984… so you can imagine that, as a young teen, the Internet wasn't even close to what it is today. Finding adult magazines or videos, easy! Hentai manga, translated? Much harder. But the few I found were so much more captivating and interesting than your average Playboy, and the few European and American adult comic I was finding were not really interesting or even well drawn. When the Internet became a bigger deal, I started posting my own artworks and also began to see other's people art and style, which helped me greatly improve over time. My fascination to hentai is that it allows you to imagine a whole new range of themes and contexts that "live" erotica can't even come close to do. Have you seen the acting and special effects in adult movies? *ugh* In hentai, sex with a gorgeous alien lady become hot and exciting, not cheesy and laugh inducing. I love hentai because it can be everything "real porn" can't ever hope to be.
(N): What difficulties did you face when you first started promoting yourself as a hentai artist?
(EA): Finding websites that allowed hentai, but weren't shady or unpopular. People jockingly say that the Internet is for porn, but it's not. Not more than the real world is, at least. It used to be "Either you are promoting adult content, or you're not". Websites that wanted to be respectable tended to avoid adult themed material altogether, putting hentai and porn in the same basket. As time passed, this changed slowly, but when I began to post my work publicly 10 years or so ago, it was hard. Same goes with finding hosting plan that allowed adult content without costing a fortune or relying on nasty sex ads everywhere, some of them sometime containing viruses. The rise of Internet 2.0 and the flood of blogging websites that were more flexible on their content fixed that. However there are still some barriers here and there, especially if you try to advertise your hentai art. The choices are restricted, so your best bet is still people posting your works on forums, or posting about your work on their blog.
(N): Give us a summary of your creative process (the ways you come up with a new idea, your preferred artistic equipment, etc.).
(EA): As far as stand alone, personal pictures go, I have lots of ideas every day, but most of them never make it out of my head. Sometimes it's because I realize it's a clone of a picture I've already done, just with a different character, sometimes it's because it would take too much to time to draw (I'm always on a tight schedule), and sometimes I'm just lazy ahaha! If an idea keeps coming back into my head as I draw other things, that's when I know I really want to draw it. Sometimes it's inspired from scenes in mangas, or other artist's works. But sometimes I've read a story, and started to think about what could have happened if the main character had taken a different path, or didn't manage to kill that monster, and that gives me ideas for a picture. But it can also be much simpler than that. A customer will order a picture with a precise setting, and I will begin to sketch, then the customer will want a different pose or scene, and I will change it but keep the original for myself just because I like how the sketch turned out, and then turn it into a personal artwork with my own character. As far as my equipement go, I only need 2 things, my graphic tablet, and photoshop. Before I had my tablet, I had to sketch the works on paper, scan them, then draw them with the mouse on photoshop, using vector tools and other tricks to compensate for the lack of pen-like precision, but once I got my tablet I went full digital. Everything is done from start to finish on photoshop. An average picture can take me about 10 hours to finish, but I do a lot of experimentation to shorten that time more and more.
(N): Let's start talking about your main current project, "Fairies vs Tentacles". First of all, describe its premise and tell us how you decided to work on it.
(EA): Fairies vs Tentacles is about a race of fairy-like creatures having their peaceful life on an island disturbed by the arrival of strange otherworldly aliens that want to enslave them. The comic is centered about the war that will escalate between the two species, but the twist is that while weapons and magic are used, the main resource and weapon is sexual intercourse. The aliens, named Nihallaks, need the fairies' magic energy to survive, and can only efficiently extract it through intercourse with them. However the fairies can also use this against them; to have intercourse with an enemy, you have to be dangerously close to it! And there's a subspecies of fairies that is poisonous to the Nihallaks, while another is simply subjugated by them and will give themselves to the invader without a second though, betraying their peers.
The idea behind this comic is simple; I got bored of the archetype of "monsters vs damsels in distress" and wanted something new, something fresh, something that made sense. Would a girl being abused by a monster plead gently the monster to stop? Not really! She would punch, kick, claw, bite, scream, swear! In "Fairies vs Tentacles", the girls are not helpless victims or dumb sex dolls, they have personalities and minds of their own. Some of them run, others fight, some will betray, others will rise as leaders and heroes. And the same will happen on the aliens' camp. Some will flee the war, some will have vendettas against particular characters, some will be plotting to overthrow their leader. Just like a good action movie or a good war story is not just about the violence but about the characters caught in the chaos of it all, "Fairies vs Tentacles" has sex in it, but it's not the sole focus of the comic.
(N): You use the word silly to describe your work, yet at the same time there are many dark and aggressive situations taking place in "Fairies vs Tentacles". What is it that makes a manga filled with such elements "silly"?
(EA): I guess it's a matter of perspective. Compared to a Disney movie, yeah that's rough stuff, but compared to some mangas I've read it's quite mellow. There's humor and quirky characters, and while there are themes of slavery, violence and sexual abuse, I try to treat it lightly; there's no gore, murder or torture, the aliens look more like weird plushies than stuff from nightmares. And while there is drama, I don't delve into the psychological trauma of abuse or violence as it is not the focus of the comic. I use the word "silly" because I aim to have the reader get excited and cheer for the fairies, but not be shocked or disgusted when one of them gets caught. An escaped fairy will be able to walk away from her experience and even joke about it. If an alien catches a fairy, he won't say "I'm gonna rape you until you bleed", he'll be more like "I hunger, bend over and spread 'em!" I want the comic to be entertaining, not depressing or horrifying, so I put an emphasis on the fact that things should be taken lightly, with the right doses of love, violence, sex, drama and humor.
(N): Another reason why I disagree with the term "silly" is the fact that, so far, "Fairies vs Tentacles" puts a lot of emphasis on the protagonists' characters. You rarely see this kind of work in hentai manga. How important is this aspect of storytelling for you?
(EA): It's my number one priority. I don't plan hentai scenes and stitch them together with a lousy backstory, but I don't do a powerful story and nudge in some hentai for the sake of fanservice. The backstory and the hentai and intertwined. The war between the fairies and the tentacle monsters revolve around sex but the characters exist outside of sexuality. For the Nihallaks, the intercourse is not out of perversion, but survival as it's how they feed. For the fairies, since they exist in a very sexually open society without gender or social taboo, sex is just another form of entertainment like playing sports or dancing. Because both parties don't see sex as we do in our society, it gives a totally different dynamic to the interactions. I try to keep the foreign cultural aspect of the two species in mind at all time when I work on the scenario. There is also a bigger story being the two species that I have barely scratched the surface of in the comic so far, and each of the current protagonists, both fairies and aliens, have their own backstory that I flesh out little by little as the comic progress. I want to say, for now the story is still on the prologue, the chapter zero, per say. The declaration of war. Once the dust of the initial confrontation settle, we'll see each of the characters show their true colors and we'll be able to follow them in this war and see them change over time, for better or worse.
(N): "Fairies vs Tentacles" also contains a special segment called "Dark Forest". What extra does this section provide to your readers?
(EA): Since the comic is powered by Patreon, the strange creatures of "Dark Forest" are a bonus content for the higher tier patrons of the project. It's a database of the strange, naughty creatures that inhabit what the fairies calls The Dark Forest, a massive forest that covers most of the western part of the island. The tale among fairies is that there is a weird monument at the center of the forest that corrupts and twists both fauna and flora into weird, perverted monsters. But the forest is also rumored to hold some incredible artifacts and treasures, and some of the less dangerous creatures are also beneficial to fairies, so you can always expect some hot headed, adventurous fairies to venture in those dark wood and get into crazy situations. "Dark Forest" is meant to be complementary of the comic, but not necessary to understand the comic. The protagonists of the comic will venture in the dark forest eventually, but the fairies involved in the "Dark Forest" database are just random, unlucky victims.
(N): While surfing through your tumblr and hentaifoundry accounts I noticed a wide range of fetishes and tropes that haven't been used yet in "Fairies vs Tentacles". Should we expect more "weird" stuff to come up as the story progresses?
(EA): Most certainly, but I will probably refrain from using anything too brutal or out of place. I will try to do a bit of everything; for example Irah and Aquei are two fairies that practice BDSM together, but the main fetish will remain tentacle hentai. I also listen to my readers and fans, so if I'm not sure about a particular fetish, I will simply ask my fans, and if the feedback is negative, I simply won't include it, or alter it, unless it's something I feel is really necessary for the story. There are some fetishes I am not comfortable with, like scatological content, so you can be sure it will never appear in the comic even if the fans ask for it!
(N): How has support for "Fairies vs Tentacles" been so far?
(EA): Great! People seem to love it! After the first few pages some were quick to mock the weird humor and sudden sex assault from the aliens, but after the first 20 pages the comic earned respect and enthusiasm from people who want to see what happens next, and claim to have come to see the hentai but are sticking around for the story, which is what I really wanted. As I mentioned before, the comic is Patreon powered, meaning that as more people pledge for the comic, the bigger and better it will get. I wasn't sure anyone would be interested and I am surprised by the fanbase growing every month. So far the comic itself is in black and white as it's all I can afford to do, and it's initial success would've probably been even more impressive if I had started in color right away, but doing color comics is time consuming, and I wouldn't be able to do it every week without my patrons' support. I am really positive for the future, and I'm hopeful that the first milestone for the project will be met in 2015 and the comic will be in color so that all can appreciate the rainbow diversity of the fairies!
(N): In most of your works you use anthropomorphic women while males are usually represented by tentacles, monsters and other creatures. Is that an intentional result and, if so, what are the reasons you follow this approach?
(EA): The reasons are varied. On the professional, freelancer level, I need to draw what my customers pay me for. Recently I've been drawing a lot of miqo'te from Final Fantasy XIV because it's what my customers pay for. Before that, it was more like the Draeneis of World of Warcraft. My gallery goes with the flow! On a personal level, I have a thing for Elves, Drows, Demons and monsters. The reason why I draw a lot of tentacle or monster-based hentai is because, at first, it was easier than drawing two humans together, ahahah, it's silly but true, when I began to draw hentai, I had a lot of trouble drawing two human bodies together. And later on, as my creature became more complex to draw than humanoids, I realized that I was enjoying it because I could do crazy things that would be impossible with just humans, like being suspended in the air, or in the case of a translucent slime monster, being able to see the woman through the creature. On a social level, my reason is also that human on human intercourse is everywhere, so I don't feel compelled to drawing it, I want to try and explore stranger stuff that can't be done in regular adult medias.
(N): How much has your style evolved ever since you first started publishing your art?
(EA): A lot! At first I was interested mostly in the anime style because of the simpler anatomy and facial expressions that made emotions so easy to convey. Later on I got interest captivated by the more complex art styles of european comics, and then decided to mix both schools the best way I could, all the while learning to use photoshop properly. In the case of "Fairies vs Tentacles" the art is closer to manga because it's quicker to draw, cuter, and easier to look at when in black and white. My commissioned works are a mix of european and anime style. Eyes are smaller, noses are bigger, proportions a bit more realistic, and a lot of time is spent on character details and features, and complete scenery, not just a character standing on a 2 color background. I love to have my character being part of the background, not just standing in front of it like it's a cardboard cutout. I would say I reached a point of stability. I don't wish to draw more realistic or simpler characters, at this point I just try to refine my style by trying different body and face shapes, or working with crazy, hard to draw positions and angles, I found my niche and just work hard to make it more cozy, ahahah.
(N): As a hentai artist how careful do you need to be to avoid censorship? How much "artistic freedom" is there on the modern hentai market?
(EA): It's hard to tell because it's a gray area. A website like deviantart will accept quite explicit artwork until somebody complains… then a simple nude can be removed if someone whines loud enough. Also, some fetishes will be frown upon by some openly hentai websites, while others will be welcome, it's really a case by case situation, you have to go and ask. On a general, global Internet level, the touchy subject is lolicon/shotacon. People seem to automatically associate these artworks to child abuse and pedophilia, and most websites don't want anything to do with it. Personally, I'm against censorship of any kind. While I don't want to have things I don't want to see forced upon me, I should be able to look at an artwork without having to wonder if I have the right to, or draw anything I want without fear of a fine or prison. This is especially worrysome when you think about Japanese hentai artists who are not allowed to post uncensored works for fear of legal actions against them, but are at the same time allowed to draw lolicon/shotacon, while in North America it's the other way around. Artistic censorship should be abolished altogether, but having common sense should be law. A personal situation where censorship is actually bothersome to me is that in my "Fairies vs Tentacles" comic, fairies are born mature, from a cocoon. So an adult fairy can actually be only 5 years old in terms of age, but I have been recommended to not mention any age under 18 years old for fear of legal actions, even if legal age doesn't make sense in my comic. I would meet the same kind of problem if I had a character that looked like a small girl that is actually a 500 years old forest spirit or something, if she gets naked, it would be considered lolicon and be illegal, and that is the kind of blunt, dumb censorship that grind my gears.
(N): If you weren't doing erotic art how would you prefer to make a living?
(EA): Either by doing regular art, or videogames. I had started a college degree in videogames and infography but dropped it when I realized that working in an office was not the thing I was looking for. I went on as freelancer and started to take commissions while working a part time job, and finally went full freelance. I would like to make a hentai videogame, just because the good ones are rare, but that would be a big expensive project that I don't think I'm ready for. I always had a thing for comics, and have a big comic project in mind, a non-hentai one. Hopefully "Fairies vs Tentacles" might help me get the funds to start it!
(N): What's the biggest misconception people have about hentai illustrators?
(EA): It's hard for me to talk for other artists, but I think it's that we're as kinky in real life as we are in our art! I'm not, I'm actually quite shy and reserved! I have never slept with several women at once or done anything wild, really. I don't even RolePlay online!
(N): Any advice you'd like to give to people who aspire to do what you do for a living?
(EA): Hentai art, like casual art, is about persistence and practice. Work hard, never stop, learn to accept critics, and be yourself. This last bit is especially true with hentai. If you're going to do everything covertly for fear of what your friends or family will say, you will have a hard time and be miserable. If that's really what you want to do, well you'll have to stand for it. That being said, coming out as an hentai artist is probably ten times easier than coming out as a sex worker… Most people will tease you about it, and that's as far as it'll go, hopefully!
(N): Could you name us your three biggest artistic influences?
(EA): Funny enough, there's only one I can think of! There are a lot of artists who impress me, but I'm not trying to learn from them or to draw like them. The only artist that directly influenced my art and progress is Kazushi Hagiwara, the author of my favorite manga, "Bastard!!". The way he draws his characters, and the amount of detail he puts in every page, especially in latter volumes when he began to use digital special effects is very fascinating to me. For my European influence, I don't have anyone in particular I can think of, I just read a lot of different comics left and right (Morgana, Les passagers du Vent, Leonard, Asterix & Obelix, Lucky Luke, Yoko Tsuno, Bob Morane to name a few.) I never even stuck to a particular series, I just enjoy looking at the various styles, different from each other, but still in the same category, apart from japaneses or americans comics.
(N): Name a skill most people would be surprised to learn you have.
(EA): I can make a videogame from start to finish, music included! It's just super time consuming, so I'd rather just draw, ahahah!
(N): Thank you for this great interview. Any last words you wish to share with our readers?
(EA): If you want to support a naughty comic with a different take on the interactions between sexy ladies and tentacle monsters, check out the "Fairies vs Tentacles" Patreon! I am also open for commissions if you have an artwork that you would want to see made! If you're curious about my work in general, you can check my Tumblr or HentaiFoundry page! Watch out! It is, as you might have guessed, NSFW! Thank you all for your interest, cya around and stay awesome!

By 2030 there could be 17m adults in Britain with arthritis, a charity has claimed, saying that a 'tsunami of pain' will engulf the nation.
A report commissioned by Arthritis Care found that more than two thirds of sufferers said they were in constant pain and one in eight said it was 'unbearable'.
An ageing population and greater prevalence of obesity will see the number of arthritis patients double, Philip Conaghan, Professor of Musculoskeletal Medicine at the University of Leeds said.
"Britain is facing a tsunami of pain due to osteoarthritis as the number of people over 50 increases dramatically and obesity levels continue to rise. Action is needed immediately; we have to bust this myth that painful joints are an inevitable part of getting older that we have to put up with," he said.

Ready for lift off!
As the world becomes more urbanised, cities increasingly look to build up rather than out. But how can people be transported to these great heights?
September 2016
As the world becomes more urbanised, cities increasingly look to build up rather than out.
There are now more than one hundred skyscrapers reaching over 1,000ft across the globe. But, as buildings get taller, the challenge of how to get people quickly and comfortably up and down them increases.
One such skyscraper is the CTF Finance Centre which stands 1,710ft above the city of Guangzhou, China. To shuttle people up and down its 111 floors, Hitachi has built one of the world's fastest elevators. Reaching a speed of 1,260 m/min, it can get people to the top of the lift in 42 just seconds.
Travelling at this speed isn't something our bodies are equipped for, so Hitachi developed technologies which reduce vibrations as the elevator zooms up and to prevent people getting painful blocked ears from air pressure. If you can't picture what a speed of 1,260m/min is like, watch our animation to see how it compares to other ultra-fast people, animals and things.

It's sad enough to lose a beloved tree, but the problem of stump removal adds insult to injury. The job often requires chemicals, drills, chainsaws and sometimes even a bulldozer. It takes time and money. A better idea is to honor the tree by creating art from the stump so that it remains a treasured member of your family.
Gnomes and Fairies
Incorporate your tree stump into a whimsical gnome garden or fairy glen. You can find fantastical figurines made to endure the elements at country-home shops, antique and thrift stores, at garden supply stores and sometimes even hardware stores. For a personal twist, use action figures from your children's favorite TV shows and movies.
Outdoor Furniture
Upholster your tree stump with an all-weather cushion from an old set of patio furniture, or make your own seat cushion out of vinyl stuffed with foam rubber. To make a sewing pattern based on the size and shape of your stump, put a piece of paper across the top and make a crayon rubbing of the stump's outline. Similarly, a vinyl tablecloth with painted-on place mats makes a tree stump into a table for a teddy bear tea party.
Tree Stump Container Gardening
Planting flowers or vegetables on, or in, your tree stump is a pleasant way to help your tree return to its roots. To hold the potting soil, you can carve out the center of the stump to form a rough bowl, or you can plane the stump flat and set a frame on top. Plant shallow-rooted plants for the first few seasons. After a few years the stump will have decomposed enough to accommodate deeper roots.
Mushroom Cultivation
A hardwood tree stump is the perfect food source for growing edible mushrooms. Purchase wooden plugs that have been infused with mushroom spawn, drill the stump full of holes sized to match the plugs, and pop the plugs in the holes. If the stump is in the sun, you can coat the top of the stump in wax to prevent moisture from evaporating. The mushrooms might take a year to really start fruiting.
If you're handy with chisel and saw, or if you know someone who is, you can give your tree stump a lovely future as art. Functional chairs and animal shapes are popular choices, but abstract designs work well too. For a mixed media sculpture, visit a scrap yard for pieces that you can affix to the stump in imaginative configurations.

Happy Saturday friends! We don't have much going on...& that's exactly how I like it! I offered to take R to see the play of Alice and Wonderland at the High School today, but he said he didn't want to go! He just wants to stay in his new Elf on a Shelf pajamas at home all.day.long! Who can argue with that?!
I wanted to invite you to join me on Monday as She Reads Truth dives into their latest study "In Everything Give Thanks" It will lead us all the way up to Thanksgiving and will help us be whole-heartedly thankful during this season of Thanksgiving. I did a Thanksgiving plan with them a few years ago and loved it so much.
Remember, there is always the option to order a journal, but it is definitely not required by any means!! Now, they offer where you can buy JUST the journal instead of the journal AND all the prints with it for a discounted rate, which is what I went with!
And...I can't leave without telling you about the AMAZING deal above!! TODAY ONLY--Bath and Body Works has FULL size Signature Collection lotions for $3!! Yes...THREE DOLLARS!! They are regularly $12.50!!!
My dad always buys the girls at the bank a travel size lotion for Christmas...and those have gone up to $5 over the years, which is a bit redic if you ask me! He's been doing that for YEARS and I know the girls always look forward to getting a new lotion for their desk from the "Lotion Fairy"--we thought we were going to have to start doing something else because it had just gotten to be too expensive. But those ladies are got lucky this year! LARGE bottles--and for a better deal! Let's just hope they offer the same deal again next year, or they're gonna be upset! Ha!
I ordered 26 bottles this morning before 8 AM from the comfort of my bed for less than $100! Take advantage of this awesome deal! [PS: Online has a lot more choices than my store does, including some summer and fall scents, as well as old classics like Japanese Cheery Blossom, Cucumber Melon and Juniper Breeze!]

On June 19, Sony may have rendered your PS3 unusable due to releasing firmware update 4.45 and bricking some consoles. The fault seemed to be related to machines whose hard drive had been replaced, but other problems reared their head even if your PS3 continued to work.
The frustration this caused gamers was made all the worse by the fact Sony announced they were going to keep everyone waiting until June 27 to issue a fix. Well, it's now the 27th and Sony has indeed released a new firmware that solves the issues 4.45 introduced.
If your PS3 is still functioning, then installing firmware update 4.46 should work as normal. However, if 4.45 bricked your machine then the process of getting it working again is a little more involved. First up, you're going to need a USB flash drive with at least 168MB of free space on it. CECHA00/CECHB00 model PS3 owners can also use a Memory Stick, SD card, or CompactFlash to carry and apply the update.
Whatever storage method you use, you need to create a new folder on the drive called "PS3" and then download the new firmware to it.
Before applying the update you need to boot your PS3 in to Safe Mode. This is a pretty simple process:
- With the PS3 powered off (power light is red) hold the power button down until you have heard 3 beeps then let go
- Repeat the first step until you've heard 3 more beeps, but the last one will be a double beep
- Safe Mode has been successfully achieved if you see an on screen message asking for a controller to be plugged in
So, with Safe Mode activated and a controller plugged in, insert your flash drive and select option 6 "System Update." Then press Select and Start at the same time to initiate the update from the USB stick. The rest of the process should work like a normal update.
If you get into trouble then Sony has a very detailed step-by-step guide about how to apply the update. But it is as easy as loading the firmware to a USB stick, holding the power button down twice, and choosing System Update from Safe Mode. You should be up and running again in just a few minutes.

You like the photo right?Now you can get it!
Puffins are any of three small species of alcids (auks) in the bird genus Fratercula with a brightly coloured beak during the breeding season. These are pelagic seabirds that feed primarily by diving in the water.
What are puffins?
They breed in large colonies on coastal cliffs or offshore islands, nesting in crevices among rocks or in burrows in the soil. Two species, the tufted puffin and horned puffin, are found in the North Pacific Ocean, while the Atlantic puffin is found in the North Atlantic Ocean.
All puffin species have predominantly black or black and white plumage, a stocky build, and large beaks. They shed the colourful outer parts of their bills after the breeding season, leaving a smaller and duller beak. Their short wings are adapted for swimming with a flying technique under water. In the air, they beat their wings rapidly (up to 400 times per minute) in swift flight, often flying low over the ocean's surface.
Puffins are hunted for eggs, feathers and meat. Atlantic puffin populations drastically declined due to habitat destruction and exploitation during the 19th century and early 20th century. They continue to be hunted in Iceland and the Faroe Islands. On the Blasket Islands off the coast of County Kerry, which were abandoned in 1953, the islanders, who often lived just above starvation level, hunted and ate puffins in large numbers.
The Atlantic puffin forms part of the national diet in Iceland, where the species does not have legal protection. Puffins are hunted by a technique called "sky fishing", which involves catching low-flying birds with a big net. Their meat is commonly featured on hotel menus. The fresh heart of a puffin is eaten raw as a traditional Icelandic delicacy.
Like many auks, puffins eat both fish and zooplankton, but feed their chicks primarily with small marine fish several times a day. The prey species of the Atlantic puffin include the sandeel, herring and capelin. The puffins are distinct in their ability to hold several (sometimes over a dozen) small fish at a time, crosswise in their bill, rather than regurgitating swallowed fish. This allows them to take longer foraging trips, since they can come back with more food energy for their chick than a bird that can only carry one fish at a time. This behaviour is made possible by the unique hinging mechanism of their beak, which allows the upper and lower biting edges to meet at any of a number of angles.

All relationships are multidimensional, unlimited by time and space, united and whole, part of the same ecstatic web of life.
Every significant individual we meet in our life is an emanation of multiple forces, simultaneously dwelling in different worlds.
When you see people as static categories, identifying them with fixed roles and functions, based on your trite or refined conditioning, you sentence them to death. And with them also your soul will be ultimately put to death.
Release all the prisoners you have kept in the cages of your separated mind, proclaim a general amnesty, liberate everybody, make them all free to be who they truly are!
Then, relax and finally embrace the ecstatic authenticity of your multidimensional luminous self.
Apart from the above, there is truly nothing else to do here.
