1952 – Born on the 6th
of July.
Born into a musical family, Phil
and his younger brother Tommy were considered child prodigies.
1960 -1966 - By the age of 9, he
was already working as a professional musician in the family
band, variously named The Emmanuel Quartet, The Midget Surfaries
and The Trailblazers. Phil played lead and Tommy played rhythm
guitar, along with their brother Chris on drums and their sister
Virginia on slide guitar. The Emmanuel siblings earned the
family's sole income for several years.
After his father died, the
Emmanuel family was approached by Australian country music star
Buddy Williams, who took them on the road until they were forced
by the Australian child welfare department to stop travelling.
The children were then sent to a regular school. Emmanuel's
first brush with fame came when The Trailblazers won two
televised talent contests and were able to produce an album.
Phil's musical roots stem
back to the 50's, 60's and 70's and his style has largely been
defined by the classic guitar sounds of this era. His preference
for the "instrumental tunes that defined the sound of the
electric guitar when it was a new instrument". Phil has always
been renowned for performing powerful, challenging material,
ranging from classical ballads such as
Sultans Of Swing
to spine-tingling, amazingly fast and
furious pieces by
After seven odd years working
solo, Phil finally formed his own band, something which had
taken a while because of the lack of availability of seasoned
professional musicians.
Phil and his band play a wide
range of guitar oriented music ranging from their own
interpretation of
Chariots Of Fire
Santana's Black Magic Woman
plus a bit of country, rock,
classical to ballads. Their target audience age is 18 to 80 so
there is something for all ages, plus a lot of pieces most bands
anywhere in the world would not even attempt.
1992 – Released "Kakadu
1994 – Released Phil and Tommy
Emmanual "Terra Firma".
1999 – Released "In The Shadow
of the Beatles" Vol.1.
- Performed at the Closing Ceremony of the Sydney Olympics with

Shadows. The EP has been received with critical acclaim, and
completes the 'trio' of Phil's works with a track 'Blue Angel'
which will also appear on his next CD "EGP – Electric Guitar
Player" which is due for release late 2002.
2002 -
Touring around the Country with great success solo "Tribute To
The Shadows".
He was also guest performer at
the Frankston International Guitar Festival in March playing
before thousands of guests and hosting two Clinics filled to the
brim with eager fans. The Festival also gave Phil the
opportunity to showcase 'Blue Angel' – a guitar he assisted

Discovering Robert Mills Architecture In Charleston
Robert Mills Architecture, Charleston
MRV: The Buzz, Your RV Lifestyle Insider. Written By: Andrew Malo
The Mind Behind The Monument: Robert Mills Architecture
A Former American Architect That Designed The Washington Monument Amongst Other Famous Works Found In South Carolina
One of Robert Mills' greatest fears was that the Washington Monument would never be finished. Designed in 1836, starting to be built in 1848, then it came to a halt in 1854 – when donations to the construction seized at the hands of the "Know-Nothings" – an anti-Catholic, anti-Immigration party that claimed the monument was Catholic. "He passed in 1855," says Dr. Faye Jensen, executive director of the South Carolina Historical Society, "so sadly he didn't get to see it completed." The Washington Monument started back up in 1879 and completed in 1885.
Though Mills is responsible for a lot of work near Washington, his portfolio is mostly seen in his native home of South Carolina. In Charleston, a few of his most famous works remain within easy walking distance from one another. One is the Fireproof Building built between 1822-1826 – right in the heart of downtown Charleston on Meeting Street. The Fireproof building, declared a National Landmark in 1973, withstood hurricanes, the civil war, and, yes, fires. "Mills was very interested in fireproof construction as many cities were plagued by fires in those days," Jensen says. Believed to be the oldest fire-resistant building in America, Mills incorporated many measures to make sure it withstood the elements.
It was built for the county, paid for by the state, and supervised by Mills, as he was the commissioner for public works, eventually becoming the superintendent of public buildings. Due to the purpose of the building, to house county records, Mills wanted to make sure it was extremely protected. Mills made sure there was a "firebreak all around the building," Jensen says, "He widened the streets and created Charleston's first park behind the building." The building itself was made of as "little wood as possible," Jensen says, "he used wood to frame the walls and then would take it out." It is built out of stucco and masonry. Most reports say the walls were about 12 inches thick, though recently they found walls much thicker. "We are renovated it right now and found many walls about 23 inches thick," Jensen says, "some are even 40 inches thick!"
The original roof was copper and the bricks are said to "be tested to be fireproof on the plantation where they were made," Jensen says. It has 8 entrances that lead to a cantilever staircase. All in all, Jensen says, "It is a gorgeous building. It doesn't have a lot of ornamentation, however it is very dignified." So has it stood true to it's fire-resistance? "The records have always been safe," Jensen says. A fire came a block a way from the building in 1861 during the Civil War, however didn't touch the building because of the firebreak.
One of the most interesting things about architecture is how buildings and places are reflections of the architect's personal philosophy. As Frank Lloyd Wright is known for "organic architecture," Mills has a taste that is reflected in his work. First, he was an engineer, also, and designed bridges and canals along with buildings. Because of that, his concern for fires and practical measures to combat them makes sense. Also, "Robert Mills was surprisingly democratic, in a city that was very aristocratic," Jensen states. In the Fireproof Building, the 8 entrances illustrate this ideal. The entrances all lead to the staircase that gives easy access to all the offices in the public building. Mills believed that "all should have access to government."
His architectural style, termed neoclassical, was influenced both by the times and by his mentor, James Hoban. Hoban was an Irish born architect that went on to design one of the most recognizable buildings in history – the White House. Under neoclassical, he made magnificent buildings with grand porticos, in what has become known as characteristic of public buildings, banks, and churches.
A couple of other buildings in Charleston designed by Mills are worthy of note – the circular church of the early 1800s, the First Baptist Church, and the Old Marine Hospital.
A half a block north of the Fireproof building, the circular church was the first domed structure in the United States. Though the church doesn't stand anymore as it was destroyed in a fire in 1861, the Parish House, built in 1806, is still standing and the church is still going strong.
Two blocks south of the Fireproof building, the First Baptist Church is one of the oldest Church buildings in the south – built in 1820 – is a beautiful building built in the Greek Revival style. Still looking very much like it did in 1820, it is on the National Historic Register. Robert Mills himself said it is, "the best specimen of correct taste in architecture of all the modern buildings in this city. It is… simply grand in its proportions, and beautiful in its detail."
The Old Marine Hospital has an interesting history. A bit more of a walk, about a half a mile west, it was built for the care of "sick and disabled merchants of American and foreign ships," according to Joyce Weir, owner and operator of Charleston History Tours, "after the civil war, it was used as a free school for black children and then became an orphanage."
Robert Mills, the first native-born Architect in America, has a permanent historical signature in the United States, and perhaps the world, with the Washington Monument. If one is interested in seeing the Washington Monument without going to DC, check a replica out at Washington Square right next to the Fireproof Building. When going a bit deeper into his life and work in South Carolina – with the Fireproof building and others in Charleston to the canals, bridges, jails and courthouses all through South Carolina, his profound influence is also found in American civil architecture throughout the whole country. A man whose democratic ideals and strong architectural style is as American as, well, America itself.

A day late on this…. sorry!!
Here are the instructions for the notebooks I made for the goody bags, as mentioned in my previous post.
Cardstock is cut at 5.5″ by 8.5″, scored in half (4.25″).
The white paper is just regular computer paper. I cut it to 5.5″ by 8.25″, scored at 4.125″ — this helps the pages not show past the cardstock cover. Each notebook contains 10 sheets of the cut computer paper, giving you 20 pages to write on.
Using stamps from the Painter's Palette set, I added a cute image to the corner.
I used Basic Black Baker's Twine to tie it all together. I found fun colored pens at Target, that matched each of the notebooks too.
Not available in the Stampin' Up catalog, but HIGHLY RECOMMENDED, I have a 2 1/2 year old assistant that did a fabulous job cleaning up my scraps!!
My seven year olds love the notebooks! They are always asking me for paper and stuff to write with, so now they have their own, handmade notebook.
Thanks for stopping by!

South Africa the Shift From Socialising the Economy to Liberalising It

Where the ANC's economic plan lacks a united front and coherence - as demonstrated in a recent ANC policy conference - the DA hopes to capture the public imagination with its own image for the future and by taking the gap created by a faltering ANC.
Where the ANC is mesmerised by the virtues of the state, the DA is mesmerised by the virtues of the private sector. Yet both miss the point: Economic policy should be tailored to a changing national and global context rather than be based on a set of beliefs and perennial economic truths.
Economic theory is not a religion and the Chinese model (which the DA grudgingly praises) was built on experimentation where the Chinese found their way through the chaos of life as opposed to accepting theory at face value.
Designing a plan to have a particular ideological look and feel will not necessarily lead to unleashing pent-up and frustrated economic agency.
Part of the problem is that the DA's document assumes that, like religion, there must be strict separation of state and the church, so it must also be between state and economy.
Our own history though has demonstrated the close proximity between political power and the nature of economic institutions. They have largely served an exclusive extractive model against the welfare of the general populace.
In South Africa, economic power is defined by patterns of ownership, political access, the monopoly over human capital and skills and control over the flow of capital. Those who control this, determine the architecture of the economy.
What we have is a de facto situation of inherited economic power from an old extractive system with new political masters seeking to align, at least rhetorically, its economic benefits to a wider constituency.
The intent is right but the project has failed because the alignment has been turned into an exclusionary project, which is gnawing at itself. The effect of which is that political power has lost its moorings and the centre of power itself is a source of competition for resources and access. The project of the inclusive economy has been lost in the process.
So what is missing from "Working for Change, Working for Jobs"? There are several things and here are the key issues:
Firstly, a redistribution model that doesn't just rely on the good fortunes of growth or private sector benevolence but is far more astute about the potential for rent seeking in both market and state, making it important for state intervention to be tailored to address abuses.
Secondly, a clear relationship between macro and micro-economic policy to ensure a managed approach to structural shifts based on our intrinsic endowments, needs to be clarified.
Thirdly, dealing with the financialisation of the South African economy (which the document hardly mentions) versus building a real economy where income is hard won rather than accumulated through rents from unearned income.
Fourthly, linking skills imports and investment flow to targeted sectors that enable structural shifts and ensure a more dynamic economy.
And finally, the document lacks sector specific growth and development strategies - it says little about mining, agriculture, the services sector, industrial exports and so on.
Let's hope that in chastising the ANC for 'turning companies into organs of government, the DA does not do the reverse: turning government and citizens' rights into organs of private companies and the market.

Hello, I could not find the power consumption values of XU4
I'm planning to buy this UBEC to power up the XU4: https://hobbyking.com/en_us/5v-5a-ubec- ... 2-21v.html
If you have better proposals please let me know
My questions:
1. What is the power consumption of the only XU4 without any USB devices?
2. I'll be using USB WiFi module and a USB webcam in addition. What would be the consumption in this case?
3. As far as I read on UBEC's reviews, this UBEC is giving 5.45 V. May XU4 take damage?
4. According to your experiences or knowledge, may I have problems with the UBEC module (5V,5A) mentioned above to power up XU4?
Thank you

It tried to rain this evening, but not quite. The winds did kick up a little bit as a result of the evaporating rain that didn't quite reach the ground. The resulting sunset was nice! This is captured video from my Flip Ultra HD and then resized to fit the page.

There are now two incompatible, international document standards on which the world can conduct its discourse, manage its business, and record its archives: Odf, which was produced by the people, for the people; and OOXML, which was produced by Microsoft, the convicted monopolist.
Odf and OOXML are now squared up for a fight to the death. ISO has said there can ultimately be only one document standard, and "the market decides which survives".
ISO rang the starting bell yesterday when it said that it had cleared OOXML after considering appeals against its decision to approve Microsoft's standard. Complaints by Brazil, India, South Africa and Venezuela were not supported by the requisite two-thirds of votes from the appeals boards of the ISO and the IEC, its partner in pedantry.
There is time yet for more appeals before OOXML gets its official sanction as ISO/IEC standard number 29500 "in the next few" weeks, said ISO.
But the conflict has already evolved beyond the standards awards and into the real world, where questions are being asked in important places about the influence powerful companies have in deciding matters like the format in which the world communicates.
The European Commission's ongoing investigation of all matters Microsoft has encompassed ISO's approval process, the implication being that Microsoft might have had an improper influence over it. Being reticent at the best of times, ISO indicated yesterday how much impact these allegations made.
"Experiences from the ISO/IEC 29500 process will also provide important input to ISO and IEC and their respective national bodies and national committees in their efforts to continually improve standards development policies and p rocedures," it said.
But the substance of the real world struggle for supremacy between the two standards will also consider more fundamental questions that are of increasing relevance in a world of global corporations and communications.
How do proprietary standards help a monopolist shore up its position and to what extent do they stifle competition? Now OOXML is now recognised officially as open standard of sorts, the matter is not quite to clear cut.
ISO blows fanfare for OOXML

If you are looking for a towing company to help you get back on the road, you need to hire the best such as Guardian Towing. The company is highly qualified and ranked among the best towing companies in the world. Today we will not discuss that company, instead, I am going to give some insider tips that most corporate companies use to evaluate the suitability of a towing company before hiring one. By the end of the article. I hope you will have a clear idea of the procedure.
Use the Internet
If you are looking for professional roadside service Michigan, the best place to find information about the company is online. Most of them have websites that you can access using your laptop, tablet, or smartphone to learn more about the services that they offer as well as the company procedures.
Consider Payment Modes
Once you get a reputable towing company that offers replace dead battery service, you need to go an extra mile and look at the specific payment methods or modes that you can use to pay for the service. In the current wake of increase in cyber crime incidents, you need to check the security that the company has put in place to protect clients from falling victim to criminals. For instance, if you are going to use your credit card, check the privacy or agreement document to know how safe your information will be kept.
Take Time Off and Visit
Do not underestimate the essence of visiting the facility to learn about the services and interact with the staff despite the fact that you can use the internet for that purposes. I mean, how would you trust someone to come pick you up in the middle of the night if you have not interacted in person in the past?
Finally, check if it is legally accredited and the working protocols. Needless to say, that reputable companies are accredited.

Well, I'm down 8 and a half pounds, which is exciting and my friends have mentioned to me that they can see the weight loss on me, which is so encouraging. I've noticed changes in my body personally, too. The tops of my arms are less 'jiggly' and my stomach is flatter and doesn't bloat as much- winning! I'm also completely comfortable with the diet chef food portions now. My body doesn't ask for more and I don't get those late night cravings anymore, which were my main downfall.
The weight loss has slowed down, but I had been expecting this, as you always tend to lose more at the start of your diet. I'm at the stage of losing about 2lbs or so a week, which is a nice, healthy amount. Every meal I eat, I feel satisfaction that I've stuck at this for 3 weeks. Watching my pile of Diet Chef foods depleat is exciting and also a little bit worrying. I know that with Diet Chef, my three meals a day are sorted for me... There is no chance of overeating or binging and I don't have to worry about making healthy choices. Diet Chef has become a safety blanket I'm not quite reading to give up, yet!
Next week is the end of my month trial of Diet Chef and it will also be the week I finally reveal my 'before' and 'after' shots- eek! Stay tuned!

Entrepreneurship Awareness Program in Secondary Schools in India
The Department of Education, CTA took initiative to organize a half -day workshop to the Entrepreneurship Awareness Program in 5 Tibetan Secondary Schools in India from 18 – 24 October, 2016. A total number of 848 Tibetan children with 299 from TCV Chauntra, 110 from STS Chauntra, 200 from TCV Lower Dharamsala, 29 from Petoen School and 210 from THS Rajpur took part in the first phase of the workshop. Two more such workshops will be carried out covering a total of 15 Tibetan Secondary Schools in India and will benefit around 1500 Tibetan children.
The workshop aims to create the awareness about the entrepreneurship among the children, to inspire and motivate them to take up entrepreneurship as a profession in future. As required by our donors, we conducted pre and post-test in all the workshop to measure the immediate outcome. It is reflected from both the test that children have learned the meaning of entrepreneurship and were able to differentiate entrepreneurship with businessman.
The resource person organized different activities to motivate active participation from children during the workshop. The children took active participation and urged us to organize such workshops in the near future. The workshop proved fruitful for the children as they were able to understand the meaning and characteristics of entrepreneurship and the eminent entrepreneurs in our society.
The resource person for the workshop was Mr. Tenzin Norsang, Students Program officer of TED and coordinated by Mrs. Tenzin Legzey, EO, Humanities, DoE, CTA. The workshop is being generously funded by SOIR-I M


text: Well with all the talk about scammers and problem sellers and buyers, I guess it was only a matter of time before I was on the receiving end. I've been on eBay for more than 8 years have 100% feedback and never had a problem until (it seems...)...... I bought a bag that is pretty much my HG on Jan 31st. Lots of communication before the auction closed and she accepted my best offer. She said she would let me know the tracking number and then - nothing until she answered my polite query as to where the bag was - on Feb 9th. She apparently had to go out of town and had just got back but would go to the PO first thing on Monday morning and send me the tracking number (plus she is in a time zone ahead of me). Nothing so far, and I just sent her a reminder to send me the tracking number today and that eBay allows 7 days to ship and we are already on day 11!! I will give her until this evening but if I don't hear from her then I will have to open a dispute with Paypal or file a NPS. I am so bummed. Luckily I paid with CC on Paypal. (But I just would like the bag). I really hope it is on it's way and I am not getting the run around, but I am so nervous after all the shenanigans going on right now. Anyone feel like reassuring me that everything will be ok??

Anderson .Paak has finally released the visuals for his hit song Come Down. The track is a bop & sure to get the party going. Anderson & his bad The Free Nationals are taking it back with this nostalgic jam that takes turn up to a new level. The song comes from one of my favorite albums of the year Malibu. For the video he keeps it classic by recreating the iconic painting known both for being the cover of Marvin Gaye's I Want You album & being heavily featured in the classic sitcom Good Times. It is set in a juke joint where everybody is getting down & just having a good time. It is a glimpse into Anderson's live performance, which is always incredible & got him a spot opening up for Beyonce on her tour. Anderson sings, "Now you drank up all my liquor, come on…what I'm posed to do now?…you talkin all that sh*t…now come on, you gon have to back it up…hey, if I get too high now sugar, come on…I might never come down…you might not ever come down…aw let me get down…".

In order to thank the honest and kindhearted girl, Subaru offers to help in her search, and later that night, he even finds the whereabouts of that which she seeks. But unbeknownst to them, a much darker force stalks the pair from the shadows, and just minutes after locating the insignia, Subaru and Satella are brutally murdered.
However, Subaru immediately reawakens to a familiar scene—confronted by the same group of thugs, meeting Satella all over again—the enigma deepens as history inexplicably repeats itself.
Emilia tried to warn the villagers of Arlam that danger was coming and they should evacuate, but was not well-received. As she's pondering what more she can do, Wilhelm arrives at the mansion with a message...
Subaru and his companions head toward Roswaal's mansion to evacuate Emilia and all the others there, stopping at the nearby village on the way and beginning to evacuate its residents as well. However, the situation takes a turn that nobody expected...
The half of the mercenary army that had been blocking the road during the White Whale subjugation returns to join the main force. Subaru then leads the way into the forest of the Mathers domain, hoping to find and destroy the Witch's Cult before they can learn of the subjugating army's movements.
Subaru and Rem are at a loss for words. The battle against the White Whale, which seemed to be going in their favor through attrition, suddenly took on completely different proportions. With their tactical superiority and advantage quickly dwindling, the combined forces all but get tangled up in the threads of despair. That's when Subaru decides to yell out his next move...
Subaru has devoted everything he had, and done all he could do. His passion has captured Crusch's heart, as well as Anastasia's cooperation, and they all enter into the battle against the White Whale together.
To save Emilia, Subaru approaches Crusch to negotiate the formation of an alliance. His terms are a bit difficult for Crusch to believe, but she can see that Subaru isn't lying.
Subaru laments that he could not do anything or save anyone, and has no options left. Exhausted, he suddenly takes off running at full speed as if he's made a decision...
A mysterious figure appears before Subaru and his traveling companions. As the looming beast attacks with a deafening bellow amidst the darkness and fog, Rem determines that it will be too difficult to escape...
Subaru wakes up in front of the appa shop once again. Feeling boxed in on all sides due to his own lack of power to change the situation, he seeks the help of others. First, he seeks the help of Crush, who flatly declines any further involvement passed her contractual obligation of healing Subaru. His requests to Anastasia and Priscilla similarly go unanswered despite his pleas. Having wasted too much time, Subaru decides to at least try to get Emilia away from Roswaal's mansion as early as possible. He then takes a dragon car back home with Rem.
Upon returning to Roswaal's mansion, Subaru is greeted by an unbelievable sight and wails that this was not what he wanted to happen. Stricken with despair, everything before Subaru starts to go white as, finally, he hears a voice: "You were too late."
"I just wanted to protect her. That feeling wasn't a lie. Where did I go wrong?" Rejected by the one who meant more to him than anything, Subaru is still unable to recognize that he may have done something irreversible. He then finds out that some disturbing movement has been detected within Roswaal's domain, where Emilia and the others are. He's certain that he can save them somehow, so in spite of Rem and Crusch's opposition, Subaru makes his way back to Emilia...
As Emilia joins Priscilla, Crusch, and Anastasia in a meeting of the royal selection participants, Reinhard enters the hall with Felt. According to a new prophecy seen on the Dragon Stone, there are five priestesses with the potential to be the kingdom's next ruler. Reinhard announces that Felt is the fifth priestess, meaning it's time to formally begin the royal selection, but Felt refuses to have any part in it.
At the order of the council of elders that manages Lugunica in the king's absence, Wilhelm and Felix visit Roswaal's mansion as emissaries. Emilia is required in the imperial capital right away, so Subaru asks her to take him along. Emilia tells him this won't be a pleasure trip, but a push from Rem and Roswaal ends in her agreement, so Emilia and Subaru head to the capital. Now all of the candidates to be Lugunica's next king are gathered, and the royal selection is underway.
In the past, Ram and Rem lived in a demon village where the birth of twins is considered taboo. Ram was a prodigy, while Rem struggled with life. One day, Ram had her horn cut off and Rem had been blaming herself since then. Back in the present, Rem regains her senses after Subaru knocked her unconscious. Subaru, Ram, and Rem run away from the Mabeasts, and they encounter the dog shaman behind the attack. Subaru stays put to fight the shaman, who has transformed into a fearsome beast, in order to let the twins escape. Subaru stabs the shaman with his broken sword, but the attack did no damage. Just before he was about to be attacked, Roswaal arrives to defeat the shaman and the remaining Mabeasts, which removes all of the curses on Subaru. Back at the mansion, Subaru wakes up with Rem in the room, and Subaru tells Rem to keep on living for the future rather than to feel sorry for herself. Subaru goes outside to talk with Emilia and the two agree to go on a date the next day.
Subaru wakes up the next day having survived the attack with the timely arrival of Emilia and Ram. The barrier surrounding the village is restored to keep it safe from Mabeasts. However, Subaru is still cursed and due to a large number of them applied, Beatrice is unable to lift them all within a half a day. So Subaru, having received a sword from the villagers as a reward, sets out into the forest to kill the dog controlling the Mabeasts to lift the curses with Ram, as well as turning Rem back to normal. Ram reveals to Subaru about the horn that makes them demons and that she does not have a horn. Subaru draws the Mabeasts by attempting to reveal the truth about his Return by Death and the two are chased. They fall down a cliff and are met by a pack of Mabeasts and a berserk Rem. Subaru puts his plan into motion by having Ram attack the Mabeasts while Subaru is launched towards Rem to try and hit her horn to regain her senses.
Subaru visits the village with Ram and Rem with the purpose of finding the the culprit. When the three return from the village, Roswaal leaves for the night, which did not happen in the previous timelines. Subaru sees Beatrice to confirm that he was cursed and to locate where it was applied to on his body. Having traced the curse to the dog that bit him, Subaru realizes that the children are in danger and that night, he returns to the village with Rem. The children go missing and the two venture into the forest to find all but one of the missing children, who have been bitten by the dog. While Rem heals the children, Subaru goes searching for the last child and gets attacked by a Mabeast. Subaru defeats the Mabeast, but he gets surrounded by a pack of Mabeasts and Rem arrives to clear a path. The two run back to the village, but while buying time to get the children to safety, Rem gets overwhelmed. Rem unleashes the demon within her and goes berserk. With Rem about to be killed, Subaru stands in to take the attack.
Subaru is revived again. Realizing that his trust level with the maid twins is important, he asks to work at the mansion as a butler again. While taking a break from work, Subaru asks Puck to teach him how to use magic to defeat the shaman working behind the scenes. Puck analyzes Subaru's mana to determine his attribute and finds out that his is shadow. During his training, Subaru struggles to utilize magic. Continuing with his work, he overexerts himself in performing his job to gain the trust of the twin maids and falls asleep lying on Emilia's lap and crying. That night, Subaru wakes up and asks Beatrice about detecting curses, learning that curses must be activated through physical contact, and through that piece of information he deduces that the curse came from the village. The next day, Subaru returns to work and gets both of the twins to agree to go with him to the village.
Rem knocks Subaru down and tortures him. She suspects that Subaru belongs to a faction against Emilia, and states that he has a smell of witch before killing him. Subaru is revived once again in the mansion, and meets Ram and Rem again, with fear. Emilia worries about him, realizing he is in trouble; Subaru tries to tell her about his deaths and revivals, but just as he begins, a black shadow seemingly with hands overwhelms him. Two days later, Beatrice is sent to see what's bothering him; she also states that he has a strong smell of witch. Subaru asks her to guarantee his safety at the fourth night, which she grants by making a contract with him. On that night, he recalls Rem's attack on him, and feels his hands held by other hands, and then wakes up in Beatrice's room. He gets through the night in this room safely. In the next morning, he walks out of the room, and finds that Rem is dead, leaving Ram in grief. Roswaal states that she died of exhaustion, possibly caused by a curse. He and Emilia ask for clues for Rem's loss, which Subaru is unable to provide. Ram suspects Subaru and tries to attack him, but Beatrice protects him because of the contract. Subaru runs away from the mansion and goes to a cliff. Beatrice approaches him and informs him that the maid twin is incomplete with the loss of one, and offers to help him to escape the territory. Subaru realizes that it was the twin that held his hands in his sleep. Then Ram also arrives, swearing to kill Subaru. Believing that his own cowardice has led to Rem's tragedy, and despite Beatrice's protection, Subaru jumps off the cliff to his death announcing that he will definitely rescue everybody.
Subaru's first day at the Roswaal mansion begins for the third time. The first time, he grew weak and died of unknown reasons in his sleep, and the second time, he was killed by an attacker. The sound of chains that he heard as he died the second time replays in his mind, waking him in a terrified, cold sweat. He has no idea what the killer is after, let alone who it is, so he makes a plan to leave the mansion on the fourth night and watch for the attack to happen.
Subaru now lives and works in Roswaal's mansion, working with Ram and Rem, and finally getting Emilia to agree to a date with him. But the day of their promised date never comes as Subaru keeps going back to the day he first awoke in the mansion. He's confused at the thought that he Returned by Death despite having no memory of experiencing anything deadly, but he's determined to repeat his previous actions up to the point of fulfilling his promise with Emilia.
After being badly wounded by Elsa, Subaru somehow survived and awoke in the mansion of Margrave Mathers, in the Kingdom of Lugunica.
Subaru attempts to buy the insignia from Felt and return it to Satella before Elsa arrives at the loot house... but Satella arrives before the negotiations are complete, and Elsa still attacks them.
After being attacked by someone the first time, sliced open by Elsa the second time, and stabbed in the back by punks the third time, Subaru should have been dead, but found himself back where he started in the same parallel world every time. He finally realizes he's acquired the power to go back to the time and place he started from, which he calls "Return by Death." In hopes of changing the fate awaiting Felt, Satella, Old Man Rom, and himself, Subaru takes off for the fourth time.
Natsuki Subaru is summoned to a parallel world on his way home from the convenience store. He's entranced at first by the fantasy world suddenly stretching before his eyes, but the cute girl he believes summoned him is nowhere to be found, and soon enough he's utterly lost. Then a gang of punks surrounds him, but he quickly learns that he doesn't have any of the powers that he thought all people transported to a parellel world should have. Just when he's about to be beaten senseless, a girl appears...

I'm scared shitless of those fucking earwigs!! I find them in my bathroom all the time and I hate it
I've never actually witnessed a camel spider in person but judged by videos of them.. beasts, i would cry and scream like a little girl.
Mother of god O.O I just googled that to see what you meant. I'm never going to sleep again.
idragosani | 3
Camel spiders are actually relatively harmless. They look frightening, but are not venomous. And they aren't actually spiders :-)
42- No shit they aren't! They are dinosaurs!!!!
thatKidzmOm | 10
I'm so glad all I have to deal with in Louisiana are huge snakes and tiny poisonous brown spiders. (sarcasm) I hate this place!!! *shudders*
90- That is because of your acid trip. :)
BunchieRules | 31
18 - Camel crickets. They love livng in damp corners, such as showers. They're hard to kill because 1) They're huge and fast, 2) They are more likely to jump towards you than away from you, and 3) The only bugs that get rid of them are centipedes. TL;DR: Google is your friend.
mccoole727 | 13
The little ones are the most dangerous!
^That's exactly what #10 just said.
Enslaved - She won't be having anymore "snacks", that's for certain lol! I don't know why that was removed either. But eh. On a related note, the same goes for spiders generally. At least it wasn't a huge ass spider though :| I'd find that more terrifying than any scorpion that's for sure.
Enslaved | 36
It's a shame because that FML was funny and I recognized your name right away.(: I'm not afraid of spiders (have two huge banana one in my backyard as we speak). I was playing that "Draw Something" game and my word was "scorpion" so I looked at picture after picture so that I could copy the drawing. I was fascinate but I guess if it was live and dangling close to my face, I might be singing a different tune.:P
onlychildFTW | 33
The smaller one or more deadly because they venom is more concentrated because there smaller.
winterbee123 | 9
#10- I was about to say the same thing! Haha Indiana Jones teaches you everything. :P
My next victim awaits me...Muhahaha! >:D
emilydotawesome | 1
It's the small scorpions you should be afraid of. The smaller the scorpion, the more poisonous.
I'm sure op's teeth are very clean, but I think it's their pants that we have to worry about now.

I went to the store to take a look at the new 3D TV that has recently come on the market. Visually stunning is all I can say! There was depth as well as items simultaneously jumping out at you, giving you a much more satisfying movie viewing experience. As I was driving back home, my thoughts turned to 3D training.
What is 3D training you ask? Good question! Have you ever met an athlete or bodybuilder with great mirror muscles, chest, shoulders, arms, and abs? These are primarily the muscles you see in the gym, and remember most mirrors go down to waist height, because there is usually a dumbbell rack or other pieces of equipment in front. They often forget there is a whole new world behind them waiting to be discovered. Or the guy with a great upper body, whose legs have never seen the light of day, being constantly covered with baggy pants.
3D training means, to borrow a bodybuilding term, symmetry. The upper and lower body are balanced, your front and back have even depth, and finally your left and, right side look like mirror images. Of course nobody can guarantee perfect balance, but you should strive to make sure your program works the necessary muscles for your sport, and the antagonist, (opposite) muscles as well. This will help to decrease the chance of injury by making sure you keep the strength ratios within a safe limit.
Be as pleasing to the eye as the new TV's are, while being able to perform like the athletes' that are on them!
I'll cover more 3D training, starting with the core in another post.

Nine-banded Armadillo
Dasypus novemcinctus
To the author's knowledge, the following is the only information bearing on hybridization in this family:
Dasypus hybridus [Southern Long-nosed Armadillo]
× Dasypus novemcinctus [Nine-banded Armadillo] Benirschke (University of California, San Diego) says these armadillos have "the same number and appearance of chromosomes and could conceivably be subspecies. There are also many specimens with intermediate numbers of bands (7-9) known." McBee and Baker (1982, p. 1) also note that both D. hybridus and D. septemcinctus sometimes have 8 bands. However, the author has not as yet encountered any explicit report of hybridization. Internet Citations: UCSD.

Spanish photographer Alberto Schommer's portraits of myriad personalities, on display at the Embassy of Spain, Washington, DC.
Alberto Schommer has been one of the most prominent photographers in the Spanish creative panorama of recent decades. Starting with his connection with the innovations and changes in Spanish photography of the 50s, Schommer has pioneered a path full of challenges in form, always guided under the influence of the oeuvre of Irving Penn and William Klein.
One of his most well-known works is a series of portraits which, for almost 40 years, he has published in a range of media. It consists of an extensive frieze of recent Spanish history as well as that of the international landscape, in which we would highlight those appertaining to North American society, with instant photos transformed into icons as was the case with Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein and Susan Sontag.
Organized by the Spanish Ministry of Culture as a part of SPAIN arts & culture 2012 cultural program.
Admission is free and open to the public.
Visit hours:
Monday – Thursday: 9:30am – 4:30pm

Hello, my friends.
I would like to share a lesson today about effectiveness – your effectiveness in business and in your personal life.
You've heard the old story of the Tortoise and the Hare. What is the point of that story? Is it just that going slow and keeping at it in the long run beats the person who doesn't persevere but starts out with great fanfare? Of course, that's one of the lessons. There is also another. It is about taking your time at the beginning to understand truly what the objective is and, in fact, what the problem is.
You can't be an effective problem solver if you don't understand what the problem is.
So many times, people rush to judgment. They think they understand what the problem is and then are shocked when the things they propose or actually do in terms of solutions don't address the circumstances. This is because they never really understood the problem in the first place.
I am going to give you a couple of examples, one to just illustrate the principle and then another as it pertains to a real business problem that is fairly common.
Imagine you are driving down the road, and you come upon a giant hole. You see it in advance, so you stop the car.
Someone asks, "What's the problem?"
You answer, "There's a hole in the road."
Of course, that's a problem. But it is not the REAL problem. It's a symptom of a problem.
If the hole in the road is not the problem, what is the REAL problem? Think about it.
Most likely someone will say the next typical thing: "You can't get by the hole. People can't get by. Cars and trucks can't pass. People are going to be late for wherever they're going – home, work, or elsewhere. That's the problem."
That's not the REAL problem, either. That is a consequence of the problem.
The problem – the bottom line real problem here – is erosion.
Typically, when there is a hole in the road, it comes from the fact that when water and gravity combine to take out the underneath of a road, there is a collapse.
The hole is not the problem. It is merely a symptom of the problem.
The fact that you can't go through it is a consequence.
In terms of solving the problem, if you focus only on the symptom, you'll just fill the hole with dirt and pave over it.
Have you addressed the REAL problem?
Unless civil engineers and highway workers address the problem and do the right things in order to address the potential for future erosion, it is just a matter of time before that hole reappears.
If you address the consequence (the fact that people can't get by) by detouring people and telling them to go another way, that doesn't address the problem either.
Taking time to truly understand the problem is the very first step to solving it.
In business, this scenario is a very common one. I dealt with it not too long ago with one of my coaching clients, a senior executive who was experiencing high employee turnover. They lost 12% of their employees the year prior. And then an additional 8% of their employee base left voluntarily in the first half of the current year.
Of course, my initial question was, "What's the problem?"
He responded, "What do you mean, what's the problem? I just told you. The problem is we have a high employee turnover rate. I've lost all of these people."
I said, "Well, no, I don't think that's the problem. I think that's a symptom of the problem. What's the problem?"
He thought about it and responded, "I have to go hire. I am going to great expense in my human resources function to recruit. I'm paying exorbitant fees for head hunters to locate people. I'm spending an arm and a leg on recruitment and employee retention, so those costs are huge, and I can't bear them in the long run. That's the problem."
Given the previous example, you have likely concluded this is not the problem, either, but it is a consequence of the problem.
I am not making a semantic argument that says, "Technically, that's not the problem." Of course, these things are problematic. But if you don't get underneath the surface to understand what is causing these things to happen, you are not going to be able to solve them.
In this particular case, the company had done employee surveys for the last four years. I looked through the data with their HR staff and, sure enough, the surveys indicated an issue with poor leadership. In particular, the responses exposed an enormous issue with micromanagement. This was identified not only from feedback received from employees who had left, but from those who remained as well.
Think about the difference between leadership and management. It is night and day. People do not want to be managed. Systems and procedures should be managed. People should be led.
The real problem in this scenario was that there was a lack of employee empowerment, and a culture that did not treat employees with respect.
Employee disengagement was merely an indicator of this underlying problem.
The problem manifested itself in the symptoms of people who, when given an opportunity to escape, took it. This then led to the consequence of high recruitment and employee retention expenses.
This is a valuable lesson for everyone.
Once you have determined the real problem, you can begin to address it at the root cause. Instead of just putting dirt in the proverbial pothole, you are dealing with the real problem of erosion.
In dealing with the real problem, you accomplish three objectives.
- You prevent future occurrences. The erosion stops. Your employees are empowered, and you are respected as a leader.
- You eradicate the symptoms. The pothole does not come back. Your employee retention issue is resolved.
- You eliminate costly consequences. You do not disrupt the flow of traffic. You are not constantly having to spend tens of thousands of dollars on recruitment and new employee training.
This applies to more than just potholes and business. It applies to every area of your life.
If you are having arguments with your spouse or children, stop and ask yourself, "What's the REAL problem?"
If your health is subpar, stop and ask yourself, "What's the REAL problem?" Though not in all cases, certainly, but in most, the medical diagnosis is not the real problem. The problem is the habit that created it.
Fix the problem, not the person, the symptom, or the consequence. Find the problem and fix it.
You will be amazed at the symptoms and consequences that no longer exist as a welcome side effect of simply fixing the problem.

When performing a home inspection the inspector must also look at the roof.
Here are some of the things an inspector must consider while evaluating a foam roof.
I like Foam roofs, They provide additional insulation, reflect heat and are a great moisture barrier, however, all roof need maintenance. As a Home Inspector I must look at all the issues, identify them and advise the client how to address them.
Please forgive the video quality, I couldn't find someone that wanted to stand on the roof with me in 110 degree heat to make a video.
We perform Home inspections, roof inspections commercial inspections and forensic inspections in Gilbert, Chandler, Mesa, Tempe and the greater Phoenix Arizona area.

After week 1 of the Innovator's Mindset MOOC and reading many blogs, compiling the highlights and rereading the Introduction, I am really digging into this notion of innovation and these two questions are key: Is it new? and Is it better?
One blog post this week from Terry Whitmell really got me thinking about how we frame "innovation" and how we assess our impact? She shares, "Some teachers may be innovating in a negative way by asking students to put away their phones, providing MORE handouts, and pushing the "play" button on the wealth of video that can now replace their personal instruction."
I would argue these examples are not innovation. If a teacher is doing any of these things, they may be new but they don't seem to have better implications for the learners. Many teachers might be using technology but it has no real impact on students and they are doing the same things they could be doing without the devices. On the flip side, I have heard teachers push back on "innovation" because it is just flashy stuff that takes away from the learning. I think that to move forward and help all teachers see themselves as innovators we have to not only ask, "Is it new and better?" but I think it is also important to ask, "How do you know?"
Making it new and better
I am teaching a course for teachers this semester that I have taught previously 3 other times. I could use the same syllabus and readings but I knew that it could be better. The students probably would have been fine and It would have been a lot easier on me if I had taken the same one and just gone through the motions. In fact, I am pretty sure no one expected that I would do any different but a lot has changed since I last taught the class and have learned a lot. I feel that as a teacher it was my responsibility to create a course that reflected the most relevant and current resources and ideas, which required me to try some new methods and take some risks.
As Maya Angelou says, "Do the best you can until you know better, then when you know better, do better."
I didn't start from scratch because there were some great structures that had worked for the course in the past that I wanted to keep but there were also some new approaches that I wanted to try. For example, when I first taught the class, I modeled how to create a blog and took everyone through the steps to make their blog and then they all ended looking just like mine. They all watched my "mini lesson" and then for homework were expected to create their own blog. They did and they wrote weekly blog post and completed each assignment but I am pretty sure that the second class ended not one of them even continued to write, reflect and share their learning on their blog because it was just an assignment for class.
This year I wanted to do better so I tried a new approach. I had students read some blogs on the power of social media and developing a PLN and then I shared some of my experiences and why blogging would be a central component of the course. I talked about the foundational elements of the blog that needed to be included and provided some alternatives for what they might do to add on if they were so inclined. Instead of the mini lesson, I provided time for the students to go for it and start creating— after all that's how I learned how to create my own. To guide the process, I created a tiered list that allow individuals to check their progress on the specific expectations and find some areas to challenge themselves. They tracked their progress openly so they could ask each other for help if they couldn't figure something out that one of their classmates had already mastered.
I created something new but I still wasn't sure if it was better. I wanted students to be using this space to learn and connect with others and for them to take ownership of this space. So I checked out the blogs— they had the met the criteria, which was ok, but I knew it was better when I saw that they had created their own sites, they no longer looked like mine. There were a variety of platforms, designs, and formats. They were personal. For class they had to post it to the #EDCS480 hashtag (you should check out their amazing blogs!) but when they started sharing other articles and resources, I knew that they were owning the process and going above an beyond. More evidence that the new approach was better. Finally, to make sure, I asked the students. I sent out an anonymous survey to see if the course and the structure was meeting the needs of the learners to achieve the collective learning goals. To model taking risks and open reflection, I shared the results live so students saw them as I did. I was anxious but I wanted to model the importance of getting feedback and using it.
It turns out that my students agreed the new format was powerful and they also had some great suggestions for me to improve. They were embracing the productive struggle as they were learning new tools and processes of interacting and sharing ideas. I also tweaked the course based on their feedback to make it even better.
My point in all of this is innovation cannot be for the sake of innovation. Just adding on new resources and tools without a clear purpose nor assessing the impact on the learners, is not going to move us forward in education. We have to take what's working and keep it and then get rid of outdated practices that are not meeting the needs of learners and refine, remix, revise and create new and better ways to meet the needs of the learners in our classrooms. Always.

Listen up Ladywooders. So the Dalai Lama was asked what surprised him the most; he said:
"Man, because he sacrifices his health in order to make money.
Then he sacrifices money to recuperate his healthy.
And then he is so anxious about the future that he does not enjoy the present;
The result being that he does not live in the present or the future;
He lives as if he is never going to die, and then he dies having never really lived"
Life is too short to not pursue your passions. That is exactly why Norwegian-based Swedish producer and sound designer, Crussen, got a Master's degree in Popular Music Production from Kingston University, London... so he could follow his dream to become a badass artist in the house music space.

I've seen pictures like this on Facebook that were Photoshopped jokes, but this sign warning "Danger: Do Not Touch, This Sign Has Sharp Edges" is the real deal, straight from Auckland, New Zealand.
The friend who captured this image reports that she is not sure whether the sign is a joke or not because it's attached to another large normal sign. Weird stuff.

Last month in my TFTBQ Column 9 our blog definition was "Blogophobia."
"Blogophobia" is a fear of blogging. So, my question to all of you is "Do You Have Blogophobia?"
I suspect some of you would answer "yes" to that question while others of you have already jumped on the "blogging wagon" and have written hundreds of posts already. If you are the latter you have no doubt found out that "blogging" can be contagious and one blogs begets another blog which begets another.
If you fall into the first group and are afraid of blogging I suspect it's because you are afraid that you have to be a professional writer to blog or you feel you don't have anything to say. I've got some good news for you. The beauty of blogs is that you don't have to be a professional writer to have a terrific blog. You don't have to be an expert on anything to have a terrific blog. And, more importantly, you have more to say about you and your business then you think.
If you are afraid of blogging because you think it's too time-consuming then you need to give it a try and see how quickly you can promote the latest news for your small business, today's sales items, current events and happenings for your business, the latest news for your field, or whatever you want to tell your customer, etc. It's as easy as pie and less time-consuming then traditional advertising methods, newsletters, or flyer's.
If you're still worried about not having anything to write about just think about all there is to know about you, your business, your field of interest, and things you would like your customers to know about your products.
Why would you want to do this? Quite simply - blogs generate exposure for your craft business. They can generate sales. They can tell your customers important things that you want them to know about your small business and are an exceptional advertising vehicle.
But, most importantly, they personalize you to your customer. Through your blog your customers get to know you. Personally, I like to do business with people I know and, I suspect, most people feel the same. Through your blog you become human to your customers. They start to learn about you and, hopefully, start to like you. If they like you then they are more likely to do business with you.
For a small business owner blogs can become crucial to sharing your ideas with your customers. Allowing them to share their ideas easily with you. Allowing them to comment on your ideas or articles directly on your blog. In essence, you're providing a forum for the exchange of ideas - yours and theirs.
So, do you need to be a professional writer? The answer is a resounding "no." Think about what you love and then write down what you're thinking. Or, think about your business and your products and write down what you want your customers to know. Or, provide your customers with a little research on your particular kind of products and their respective history. Give your customers some ideas and suggestions as to the best uses of your products. The possibilities are unlimited as to what you can write about especially when you are writing about your passion.
Just remember - there are no blog rules. There are no blog police. Your blog is just that. It's your blog. It can be whatever you want it to be whether it's about you or your small business. There are no right ways and wrong ways in the blogging community and you don't have to be a professional writer. In fact, the real charm of blogs is that they are so "personal" and so "human."
So, if you're afraid of blogging you shouldn't be. It's time to get over your "blogophobia", get your feet wet and join the "blogging" community.

Welcome to our new series, "Games That Should Be Revived", in which I will be discussing various games that the IP holders should revive. Today lets look at a game that many absolutely despise but has some potential, Urban Champion.
Urban Champion, a fighting game on the NES was one of Nintendo's first attempts at a fighting game and to be honest, the game was awful. It is widely regarded as one of Nintendo's worst games, so why am I arguing for a revival? Well its quite simple, the technology for what they wanted to do with the game was not quite there yet and while they did make an NES fighter with Joy Mech Fight that got a lot right, that was only released in Japan. With modern tech, a reboot could work, especially if it an in name only reboot.
Here is my proposal, hire Bandai Namco or SNK Playmore to develop it. Make it be Nintendo's own 2D one on one fighting game like Capcom's Street Fighter. With the proper work done, it could end up well. I think it would be best for Nintendo to farm it out to one of those 2 publishers mentioned due to their history of fighting games, especially SNK Playmore, who could make it work well.
This would not need to be a major production but rather let's call it a b project. It could be done as a test to see if the series would work. It would need around 12 characters, online, arcade mode, 2 additional modes for multiplayer and single player to entice casuals as well as hardcores and the potential for DLC. It would also cost less than other games, again to hook people in. If this succeeds, DLC could be done to add a lot more content, or a sequel could be made that would be bigger and better like with Smash Bros 64 and then Smash Bros Melee.
But now the question, Why make the game? Well to be honest, Nintnedo is lacking in traiditional fighting games. Microsoft has Killer Instinct ( which formerly was with Nintendo) and Sony has locked up Street Fighter and King Of Fighters. Smash is not a traditional fighting game and Pokken requires two consoles for local multiplayer to work right. I feel that Nintendo needs a traditional 2D fighting game in their lineup and this could work perfectly. It doesn't need to necessarily be a Street Fighter or King of Fighters clone but be similar yet different. There is a market for these games, poor sales of SF V not withstanding ( and that was more due to the game 's barebones content at launch.) A traditional 2D fighting game would be welcome and a reboot of Urban Champion as an In Name Only reboot is just what the doctor ordered.
Next time: A look at Joy Mech Fight.

The Sequim Gazetteand Sequim This Week both had photos in their newspapers of the maze at Pumpkinland. This prompted me to make a quick stop on my way home. I really liked the way they had the farm equipment lined up with the changing leaves in the background. They open this weekend for the delight of young and old in our area. Unfortunately, this may be their last year. If you have time, follow the link and read the story.
