- Ferdinand Omondi, formerly of NTV and KTN and currently of BBC, has shared photos of himself while growing up, showing his early life and current one
- It is a major TBT detailing how the journalist grew up
READ ALSO: NTV journalist reveals her lover impregnated and dumped her
When you see former NTV and KTN and current BBC correspondent Ferdinand Omondi today, you are likely not to imagine that behind the success, the growth and the transformation, there was once a tiny boy from Homabay county who led just a normal life like others.
Today, Ferdinand is arguably one of the journalists who boast a big name in the media industry in Kenya and beyond.
Before joining TV, Omondi appeared in the popular TV show Tahidi High aired on Citizen TV. He acted alongside DJ Pierre Makena and Xavier Nato as the original casts of the teenage high school drama show.
Omondi has shared a grid showing some of the photos taken as he grew up. The grid serves a major Throwback Thursday (TBT) as it brings back the former life of the journalist.

From being a very little boy, his primary school days and of course his teenage years when he started knowing and feeling the world.
It is argued that sometimes you can tell the status of a person from the manner he is dressed.
In one of the photos, without being judgmental, Omondi looks a boy hit hard by waves of life, wearing oversized clothes and looking a dejected lot.
READ ALSO: Andrew Teyie sues Nation Media Group for unlawful dismissal
Perhaps it is one of the photos taken while he was trying to rediscover and/or cultivate his acting talent. Perhaps it is true; life was a bit unfair to him.
And just like any other village teenage boy, he took photos in front of 'landmark' structures like sign boards, vans and unbuttoned his shirts to showcase his 'well-built muscles.'
Have a look at this photo grid:

Published every weekday, the Switchboard highlights five tech policy stories you need to read.
Punching above its weight, upstart Netflix pokes at HBO. "If there is a rivalry between the two companies, it is by many measures a mismatch," according to the New York Times. "But that hasn't stopped Wall Street and the entertainment media from salivating at the story line: Netflix, the brash Silicon Valley interloper, driven by metrics and technology, not to mention a checkbook that makes seasoned Hollywood players blush like teenagers, taking on HBO, the East Coast establishment player, in the rarefied and profitable world of quality television."
Apple rejecting 'Flappy' titled games from app store. "Apple has begun rejecting games attempting to take advantage of the popularity of the now-defunct Flappy Bird," reports MacRumors, "a hit game that developer Dong Nguyen removed from the App Store earlier in February."
Snowden's lawyer interrogated by U.K. authorities at Heathrow airport. "After asking what she would be doing in London, and establishing that she would be meeting with Julian Assange at the Ecuadorian Embassy, the border agent moved on to other issues, and showed a surprising knowledge of her recent movements," according to Techdirt.
Barons of Broadband. The New York Times' Paul Krugman takes aim at the proposed merger between Comcast and Time Warner Cable: "So let me ask two questions about the proposed deal. First, why would we even think about letting it go through? Second, when and why did we stop worrying about monopoly power?"
Syrian Electronic Army slurps a million reader passwords from Forbes. "Forbes.com has become the latest media outlet to fall to an attack by the Syrian Electronic Army (SEA) with the account records of more than a million people swiped," The Register reports. "A database containing email address and password combinations for 1,071,963 accounts was dumped online by the hacktivists — including the records for Forbes contributors."

The movie is an excellent watch if you go without much expectations and if you forget the fact that it is Aashiq Abu movie. Salt N Pepper was a long way better than this movie in realism. Da Thadiya will entertain you and with some good positive message and a good climax, the movie will leave a happy feeling inside the viewer.
Casting of the movie has been done perfectly by Aashiq Abu. Sekhar Menon in title has done a decent job though this is his first film. Sekhar Menin is perfect for the role of Luka. Apart from playing the character of a supportive brother, Sreenath Bhasi also is the narrator of the movie who utters some of the best lines in the movie in kochi slang. Ann Augustine did well in romantic scenes. Nivin Pauly, Maniyan Pilla Raju, and Edavela Babu has come up with superb performances. The way Nivin Pauly was introduced and built up as 'Rahul Vaidyar' was terrific.
Script of the movie is simple,entertaining but it is bit dragging at times and seemed to be half-baked. 'Da Thadiya' has an interesting first half whereas the second half is a bit dragging. Cinematography and Editing by Shuju Kahlid were appreciable. Songs by Bijibal has already become favorites via social medias.
Aashiq Abu once again proved his caliber in direction. Of course, "Da Thadiya' is a good watch among the christmas releases.
- Cast Performance - Dragging Second half
- Plot - Fight sequence
- Direction
- Songs and BGM
- Cinematography, Editing
VERDICT : Good
Da Thadiya has released in 54 theatres all over kerala. Da Thadiya has able to acquire a good word of mouth.
Da Thadiya has collected a surprising 1.34 Crores in 3 days despite strong competition from superstar releases. Surely Da Thadiya will cash in its long run
With 1,260 shows in its first week, Da Thadiya has collected 2 Crores.
Da Thadiya is picking up in it's box office collection. With a total of 2,800 shows, Da Thadiya has collected 3.10 Crores in 13 days. Aashiq abu is continuing his streak of back to back hits.
The film has completed 4,200 theatrical shows in it's 20 days run. A number of removals are expected in the fourth week.

Ms. Obama has had a recent run of magazine covers in the last month. This issue showed her again in pearls, which is a trademark look for the first lady.
As well as the cover shot of Mrs. Obama, there is an interview focused on her parenting approach. You can read more about her ideas on the subject on this page of the USA Weekend website.
The cover shot shows her in another Jason Wu design with magenta silk faille and loads of pleats at the waist and hips. The single strand of pearls and simple pearl earrings accessorizes the dress nicely

The date was October 14, 2007. The stage was Soldier Field. Rookie running back Adrian Peterson rushed for 224 yards and three touchdowns, breaking the Minnesota Vikings single-game rushing record, in a 34-31 win over the Chicago Bears.
Thats the last time the Vikings won a game in Chicago. Since then the Bears have dominated the Vikings, winning the last five meetings at Soldier Field.
This is becoming dj vu up here, Vikings defensive end Jared Allen said. This is the same script, just a different year. We got to fix something.
One Viking suggests something supernatural may be the reason for Chicagos success.
They might have a lucky troll or something over there, defensive tackle Kevin Williams said. Every time we come up here it seems like the same story. We got to find a way to get over that and get a win here.
Recently the Vikings are not only having a tough time beating the Bears in Chicago, but they cant beat them at home either, losing six consecutive games in the series.
So is this something the Vikings carried with them heading into Sundays game?
We knew what we was getting into, Peterson said. Those guys wanted to come out and make a statement, but I feel like it was more so what we did. Giving the ball away. Not making routine plays. Got to give credit to those guys because they did a good job of stopping us.
The two teams will strap it on two weeks from now in Minnesota in what will be another crucial game for both teams playoff hopes.
Well swallow this, Peterson said. But I cant wait to see them again.
Marshall impressive to Vikings defense
Bears wide receiver Brandon Marshall collected 12 receptions for 92 yards on Sunday, becoming the first Bears wideout since Marty Booker to go over 1,000 receiving yards in a season.
I think Brandon Marshall caught literally everything that was thrown to him, which was impressive, Allen said.
Marshall didnt have many huge gains, his longest catch was for 17 yards, but the sheer volume of balls he hauled in was back-breaking for the Vikings.
He has a great catch radius, Vikings cornerback Antoine Winfield said. We were in position a few times with tight coverage and somehow the ball got in there and he came up with it. Hes a good player.
Balancing act for Bears
In the Monday night loss to San Francisco the Bears rushed for 85 yards, but only had 58 passing yards. Obviously those kind of offensive numbers wont win you many football games. But, in Sundays 28-10 win over the Vikings, the balance was back, as Chicago had 113 yards on the ground and 183 yards through the air.
Anytime you can be two-dimensional, its kind of hard to stop as a defense, Winfield said.
In a week that saw Chilo Rachal temporarily leave the team after being demoted for Chris Spencer, Gabe Carimi benched in favor of Jonathan Scott and Jay Cutler return to action, change was more of a theme than surprise.
They changed some protection things up, Allen said. We knew they were going to. You bench a guy and youre not going to just sit back there in five man protection and let people rush, especially when Jay Cutler is coming off of a head injury. So, hats off to them.
The Vikings watched Jason Campbell run the Bears offense on film against the 49ers, but instead faced off against Cutler on Sunday. So whats the biggest difference?
I think Cutler gets the ball out of his hands a lot quicker, Winfield said. He scrambles a lot more, buys time and hes not afraid to take chances. You can see Marshall in coverage and hes still throwing him the ball.
Slow start
Michael Bushs rush into the end zone, his second score of the game, with four minutes left in the second quarter hurt the Vikings. But the successful two-point conversion by holder Adam Podlesh was deflating, as it extended the Bears lead to 18-3.
We got chopped off at the head quick and that can break you down, Peterson said We continued to fight it just didnt go our way.
Vikings quarterback Christian Ponder was intercepted by Chris Conte on the next drive, setting up Cutlers 13-yard touchdown pass to Matt Spaeth, giving the Bears a 25-3 halftime lead.
The game got out of hand real early and we didnt really give ourselves a chance, Winfield said.
Ready for a rematch
Vikings linebacker Chad Greenway was adamant that Minnesota (6-5) was still in the playoff hunt, even following a 28-10 blowout loss to the Bears.
Were not panicking at all, Greenway said. We wanted this one really bad. This was a huge game for us. We need to take care of business in Green Bay and we need to take of business when Chicago is at our place. Thats just the way it has to be.

4lb 8oz perch caps best session ever
Conditions were far from ideal for Dan Eaves' latest perch fishing session but he defied the odds to land this stunning 4lb 8oz fish.
The Hampshire-based angler was faced with bright sunshine and temperatures nudging 30 degrees during a session on a southern stillwater leaving him pessimistic about his chances of success.
His confidence received a boost during a walk around the lake, though, as he spotted a large shoal of perch fry sitting close to a feature.
"Once I'd found these tiny fish I had a hunch that the big specimens that inhabited the lake wouldn't be far away. I set up a seven inch jig and started to explore the swim," said Dan.
His theory was proved correct almost instantly as he was received a positive take and it soon became apparent that he was attached to a 4lb-plus specimen.
"It looked huge on the mat," he went on to say. "Before weighing it, I took its measurements and it was 19.5ins long and had a girth of 16.5ins around the middle of the body – it was an absolute beast.
"If I'm being honest, I thought my chances of catching anything else significant were slim."
But that prediction was well off the mark, with predators of 2lb 12oz and 3lb 6oz also gracing his net and capping off, what Dan could only refer to as, 'my best ever perch fishing session'.
Having landed stripeys to a personal best of 4lb 13oz in the past, Dan has now set his sights on breaking another landmark by the end of the year and he told Angling Times: "Once the winter comes and these fish start to hold some spawn they will pack on even more weight and I'm confident that I can break the 5lb-barrier in the coming months."

The Baldwin City Council unanimously agreed at the May 12 meeting for council member Robert Bohannon to serve as mayor pro-tem while Ray Holcomb is serving in the mayor's seat.
Holcomb is serving as mayor in the seat vacated by Mark Reed. Reed resigned his position on April 28 to run for a seat on the Georgia House of Representatives.
In other business at the council meeting on Monday, May 12:
•the second reading on the annexation and rezoning request from Kaye B. Wilkes for 13.50 acres located on Hwy. 365 near Dairy Queen were unanimously approved. The zoning for this property is highway business.
•the council unanimously approved the annexation and rezoning request from James and Krystal Trotter for property located in Smoke Rise Subdivision. The Trotters are seeking to annex into the city in order to receive city water service.
•the second reading on the rezoning request for property on Willingham Avenue owned by James and Kristy Woltz was unanimously approved. The property was rezoned back to R-2 without a special use permit. The Woltzes had received a special use permit to place a doublewide mobile home on this property and the deal on the mobile home could not be closed so the city sought to have the property rezoned back to its original zoning.
•the council unanimously approved payment of an invoice in the amount of $2,880 to Engineering Management, Inc., Lawrenceville, for professional services on the Park Avenue project. Grant funds will be used to pay this.
•the council approved changing the regularly scheduled council meeting from Monday, May 26, Memorial Day, to 7 p.m. Tuesday, May 27, in the courtroom at the police department.

Meet the 5 brilliant entrepreneurs that turned adversity into opportunity. Thanks to their resilience, they've now created empires that modern society relies on. We think a few of these might surprise you...
Woody Allen said that '80% of success in life is showing up', because in truth, we don't always have the motivation to do so. Show up to work, to class, to that wine mixer you promised you'd show your face at… Sometimes you'd rather be, frankly, anywhere else.
Success as an entrepreneur largely depends on your ability to keep showing up, even in the face of adversity. Whilst it certainly isn't easy, we can take inspiration from those who have lived to see their tenacity and hard work pay off. The most encouraging of which, are those who have built their empires from the ground up. The ones that started with nothing. The ones who have faced the ultimate adversity to wealth: poverty. Here are 5 business trailblazers that disprove that 'only money makes money'...
Known for: Harry Potter
Net Worth: $1.2bn
J.K. Rowling had a turbulent start as a writer. Enduring rejections from 12 different publishers, before finally being selected by Bloomsbury, J.K. Rowling was living life as a single parent on the breadline and severely suffering from depression. After a painful divorce, Rowling was living hand to mouth, relying on state pensions to care for herself and young daughter, Jessica. 'I was jobless, a lone parent, and as poor as it is possible to be in modern Britain without being homeless.' Rowling explains 'I remember 20 years ago not eating so my daughter would eat. I remember nights when there was literally no money [...] By every usual standard, I was the biggest failure I knew.' Even during the months where she was forced to forgo heating in her small Edinburgh flat, Rowling doggedly kept writing in pursuit of a better life. Since then, she has gone on to sell 450 million copies of the Harry Potter series, win countless awards, and spawn a hugely successful film franchise. Rowling now holds the title for 'wealthiest writer of all time', beating the likes of Stephen King and James Patterson to the post. From humble beginnings, Rowling has carved a magical empire now worth billions, and even contributes part of her success to enduring the hardships of her past. "I know what grinding poverty feels like,' says Rowling, 'The memory never, ever leaves you."
Known for: The Oprah Winfrey Show
Net Worth: $2.9bn
Oprah was bounced from pillar to post during childhood. After the separation of her parents, she was moved many times between Mississippi, Wisconsin and Tennessee to split childcare between family members various. During the years that Oprah lived with her mother in a dangerous Milwaukee ghetto, she was left unsupervised and at the mercy of her abusive and predatory relatives. From the ages of 9 and 14, Oprah endured many counts of sexual harassment while her mother worked odd jobs to get by. Despite growing up destitute and downtrodden, Oprah never felt defeated. 'I don't think of myself as a poor deprived ghetto girl who made good,' She states, 'I think of myself as somebody who from an early age knew I was responsible for myself, and I had to make good.' She, like Rowling, claims that her past taught her something truly valuable: remarkable empathy. 'I know what it feels like to not be wanted... you can use it as a stepping stone to build great empathy for people.' The compassion that was learnt from her traumatic childhood was what later proved to be Oprah's biggest asset as a talk show host, and because of this, she was even named by Time magazine as one of the 100 people who most influenced the 20th century. Oprah attributes her strength to her unrelenting faith, and ability to turn her wounds into wisdom. Whilst her positive attitude continues to inspire millions of people all over the world, she still remains one of the most humble women in showbiz. 'I still have my feet on the ground,' She says, 'I just wear better shoes.'
Known for: WhatsApp
Net Worth: $9.7 Billion
Jan Koum, CEO and cofounder of instant messaging application Whatsapp, was born in 1976 to a humble Ukrainian family just outside of Kiev. Koum and his family spent many years living in a home with no hot water whilst they worked around the clock to make ends meet, eventually migrating to California to escape the conditions of Ukrainian poverty. Koum, then aged 16, began sweeping floors at a Mountview grocery store to help contribute, and lived off the charity of government food stamps. After losing his father in 1997, and mother in 2000, Koum began teaching himself to computer programme using manuals from a second hand bookshop. Landing an engineering role at Yahoo!, Koum honed his programming abilities and put them to use by setting up his own mobile messaging platform which then launched in 2009. Whatsapp now has over 1 billion monthly users, and is the most popular messaging app worldwide, ranking first in a staggering 109 countries. The idea for Whatsapp came from a need for secrecy, which he was deprived of in Ukraine: 'I grew up in a society where everything you did was eavesdropped on, recorded, snitched on. I had friends when we were kids getting into trouble for telling anecdotes about Communist leaders.' Koum's idea for Whatsapp was born from something he experienced during a difficult childhood, which he then moulded into something positive using technical prowess. A prowess that didn't go unnoticed, as In 2014, Koum sold Whatsapp to Facebook for a whopping $19bn. Quite ironic seeing as Koum's business partner and Whatsapp Co-founder, Brian Acton, was rejected for a role at Facebook just months prior to the launch of Whatsapp.
Known for: Starbucks
Net Worth: $2 billion
Founder of The Starbucks Corporation, Howard Schultz, grew up from the age of 3 in a Brooklyn housing complex for the poor. While his mother looked after him and his siblings, his father provided for the family by driving trucks delivering baby supplies. When Schultz was 7, his father broke his ankle and was unable to continue working. With no health insurance or compensation to fall back on, the Schultz family were left completely without income. Schultz was saddened to see his father a broken man, unable to provide for the family and invested all of his energies into improving the family circumstances.
Gaining a football scholarship to Northern Michigan, Schultz excelled both academically and athletically, but after deciding not to pursue football, Schultz took on part-time jobs and even donated blood to pay for tuition and becoming the first in his family to attain a college education. After graduation, he began working for Xerox in sales and buying roles before taking over a coffee shop, which would later be the start of his worldwide conglomerate. Schultz became the company's CEO in 1987 and continued expanding until Starbucks reached 25,000 outlets in 2016.
In spite of his already notable success, he is up by 4:30 every morning, striving to create an even better business. Schultz claims that Starbucks was born out of seeing his father struggle professionally: 'I grew up in a working class family where there was no health insurance. I saw first hand the fracturing of the American dream and the bitterness that comes when there is no hope and a lot of despair. So I wanted to build the company, in a sense, that my father never got a chance to work for.'
Known for: Ralph Lauren Corporation Design Company
Net Worth: $7.8 Billion
Born to Jewish immigrants having fled Belarus, Ralph Lauren always dreamed of the glamourous life he wasn't afforded as a child. Becoming enamoured with cinema and the likes of Cary Grant and Fred Astaire, Ralph Lauren looked for escapism in the world of fashion. Due to family circumstances, Ralph began selling handmade ties after school from the age of 12.
It has been said that Ralph Lauren doesn't much like to reflect back on his roots, but he was always extremely driven, even once writing just the word 'millionaire' under 'goals' in his High School yearbook. Following High School in the Bronx, Lauren dropped out of college and moved to New York in pursuit of the American Dream. With only his High School diploma and a few business credits, Lauren then worked his way up from a low-paid glove salesman to billionaire fashion tycoon over the course of two decades.
Lauren has said he had felt underestimated because of his upbringing, claiming that: ''People ask how can a Jewish kid from the Bronx do preppy clothes? Does it have to do with class and money? It has to do with dreams.' Ralph Lauren certainly proved any sceptics that this really was the case.
Let these fantastic business minds be a reminder of exactly what can be achieved if you continue to merely 'show up'. If we're ever feeling defeated, we can take strength from those who have overcome hurdles that may very well put ours to shame.
Instead of just enduring obstacles, these successes actually used them as springboards to success. Obstacles weren't deterrents to them, they were incentives. Some took inspiration for a product, a service, or business model, others developed skills in endurance and resilience- they used lessons learnt from hardships to carve themselves a niche or unique angle on fashion, literature, TV, retail or technology.
These entrepreneurs aren't great in spite of their hardships - they are great because of them. Adversity can make or break a person - it's you that decides which.
Special mention goes to...
Known for: Microsoft
Net Worth: $75bn
Although Bill Gates certainly did not grow up in want of anything, he never once used his family's wealth in his own business endeavours. Instead, Bill Gates is an advocate for social responsibility and has even said he will not be passing on his fortunes to his heirs. He believes that success and merit should be earned, not merely inherited. Too right, Mr. Gates. Too right.

Police officers protect lives and property. Detectives and criminal investigators, who are sometimes called special agents, gather facts and collect evidence of possible crimes. Police and detective work can be physically demanding, stressful, and dangerous. In fact, police officers have one of the highest rates of injuries and illnesses of all occupations, and working around the clock in shifts is commonplace.
Most police officers and detectives must graduate from their agency's training academy, before going on to completing intensive on-the-job training as a rookie. Police academy candidates must be US citizens, at least 21 years old, and able to meet rigorous physical and personal qualifications, as well as a thorough background check. The median national salary for police officers is $62,000. Further, the Bureau of Labor Statistics estimates that there were approximately 120,000 detectives and criminal investigators employed in the USA. Beyond consideration for Northeast State Community College law enforcement, you may think about Tompkins Cortland Community College auditing classes for complementary electives to your primary course of study.

Rumors were swirling around that as the Royal Rumble was taking place in San Antonio, Texas we could potentially see a return of the Heart Break Kid, Shawn Michaels, of course Shawn Michaels retired 7 years ago in the very famous "Career vs Streak" match against The Undertaker at Wrestlmania 26 but in a recent TMZ video Shawn Michaels was asked whether he would be making a return in the Rumble which was replied with a " nooo", "not if I can help it". Even though in this weeks segment of Raw, in which Michaels made an appearance promoting his movie " The Resurrection Of Gavin Stone" he did get a bit hands on by performing a Sweet Chin Music on a interrupting Rusev ,this by no means meant that he was making a return to the ring.
Its a known fact that Michaels has a great respect for The Undertaker in and out of the ring and a return to a WWE ring would, in my opinion tarnish one of the greatest matches in WWE history by making the stipulations mean nothing, Michaels is one of the few that has not returned after losing a career match unlike so many such as Ric Flair, Hulk Hogan, Macho Man,so i have to agree with Shawn when he says that he won't be wrestling again. Of course there are a ton of dream matches people would love to see,to name a few; Michaels vs Rollins , Michaels vs AJ styles even Michaels vs Ziggler but although these matches would be amazing I'm scared that it would end up like a Ric Flair scenario where it just becomes sad to watch and that would seriously forever taint the great and illustrious career Michaels had.
What do you guys think Michaels should do?, Who would you love to see Michaels face for one more match? Leave your thoughts and comments below.

A Better Way to Manage Heat Stress in Dairy Cattle
April 04, 2017
Heat stress is expensive. It can have a serious impact on cattle breeding efficiency, milk production, and feed intake. Keeping your cows safe and productive costs you time, effort, and money. Exactly how much does heat stress cost you in dollars and cents? Consider that dairy cattle operations can expect to lose about 10% to 35% of an animal's current milk production during heat intense periods.

|Reviews for I Can't Take My Eyes Off Of You
| Elizabeth Prince chapter 1 . 1/2/2012
Beautiful little story. It made me cry. Don't know what else to say. Just loved it.
| spinners-grove chapter 1 . 4/24/2009
I do agree with a lot of what's already been said. First off, I don't think Snape would have cancelled that first class so easily. He might have looked at her with pain in his eyes, for certain, but he would shake it off within seconds and resume, even if he continued to shoot her wary glances.
Second off, I think the whole point is that Selena's outward being is exactly like Lily, but she isn't on the inside. So why does she have to be American? I myself am a Bostonian, and just because I (and you as well, I assume) are from New ENGLAND, there is no way we would be able to pass ourselves off as English. On the contrary, I think Selena would have opened her mouth and Snape would have said, "Whoa. Not Lily."
Finally, I think Dumbledore would have to do the explaining instead of McGonagall. Along with that, I can see how she might have vaguely picked up that some teachers were staring at her a little, but it wouldn't have been that obvious. The point of that whole thing is to make the reader aware that there's something going on with the way she looks, and that can be done just as easily with something more subtle.
Although, I'd also like to point out that the whole thing with her almost being raped just doesn't seem right. I can see someone attacking her in Hogsmeade, maybe, but I just don't think something like that would take place on Hogwarts property, no matter how hated a student was. It just wouldn't happen.
I only give this much criticism because I think this has so much potential. Whereas I'm fairly sure it was intended as a self-insert, and an oh-I-want-to-have-sex-with-Snape, I can't help but wonder how amazing it would be if it were a purely psychological piece. Maybe Snape really doesn't turn her on at all, but she only sleeps with him to help him. This could be a cathartic experience for him, maybe, and… I don't know, maybe between his tears in the sex scene, he can mumble Lily's name a few times. At least then, maybe at the end he can note that he's felt a bit of closure and can now handle the Harry thing, because of the whole experience. Therefore, at least we feel like he's grown a bit. (Although Dumbledore mentioning Harry at the end was a very nice, if not heartbreaking touch.) Along that same train of thought, I think this would be much more potent as a piece if it were more about her sort of being afraid of him, and maybe seeing his stalker-ish-ness as a bit more creepy, but still wanting to help him move on all the while maintaining her own identity.
As for him being OOC, I think he was fairly in-character aside from cancelling that class. What you've portrayed is a very broken, unstable side of Snape that most writers don't want to acknowledge. If he were really in the presence in someone that reminded him so strongly of Lily, then I don't have any problems believing that he would break down like that. Maybe not twice, but the first time would definitely have some tears at least. My only nitpick about that, though, is that I don't think she would have been in his personal chambers. A student is a student, and I don't think she would have been comfortable with that. Oh, and also? I think her walking through the halls naked was a bit unrealistic, to the point where it sort of jolted me out of the story to say, "What?" On the other hand, you did not describe Snape as gorgeous, muscular, or *huge* in any sense, so at least that was an A in my book.
So again, I only give so much crit because this could be incredible, and you seem to have th writing skills to pull it off. I understand if that wasn't what was intended, but even with just a few minor changes... Well, I hope you take the advice of all the constructive reviews that you've gotten so far.

Wow, great work. I was wondering where Harry and the rest were, but Serena came to Hogwarts before them. Any relations to Lily or was it coincidental?
| katherinegrace79 chapter 1 . 6/15/2008
An interesting idea. Giving Snape a chance at redemption through a Lily-lookalike is very interesting. I enjoyed this.
| Cardio Necrosis chapter 1 . 4/3/2008
It was interesting, but not as great as it could or should have been.
Snape seemed out of character, far too emotional for my liking. He acted like a fourteen year old girl.
Was it really necessary to make her American? And I doubt that so many people would desire her, or teh entire world would make it so blatantly obvious they were staring at her just because she happened to look like someone who died.
Serena should not have been sorted first, and I doubt Snape would have cancelled classes simply because she looked like Lily.
This shows much potential, but really, it moved far too fast in every aspect. Not enough detail, not enough emotion.
I liked that you made he act differently than Lily, and it was interesting to me that Snape would try and force her into being more like her.
It seemed very self-insertive, but she WAS NOT a Mary Sue.
| The Absynth Fairy chapter 1 . 3/26/2008
In response to Mark Darcy's comment:
I don't fully disagree with you, however, I don't fully agree with you either. While Snape's obsession with Lily was certainly talked about amongst the students and Slughorn, I doubt any of the staff would have entertained petty gossip about which student liked which. They are adults and have little time to chat about rumors, especially when they are always on the cusp of a gigantic magical war. Thus, the knowledge (which would only amount to a bit of gossip in an adult's eyes) would have been forgotten or pushed to the back of one's mind.
Also, I don't believe Snape's reaction to a girl who looked exactly like Lily Evans would have been as potent. I remember that Harry had precisely Lily's eyes and, even if he's not the complete spitting image of Lily, he failed to have such a drastically sad effect on Snape.
I would have a hard time imagining Snape, who puts a high value in education and prioritizes his responsibilities above all else, canceling a full class because he saw a girl who reminded him of Lily. Snape is a very tough man. Not only that, he's an expert at disguising the feelings that make him feel weak in public. While he still may have loved Lily, he would not have been so sensitive about the subject that he would cancel the first class of the year because the sight of a girl who looked like Lily drove him to almost tears.
I'd imagine that the only thing that ever gets the best of Snape in public is anger, and emotion in him that has even more abundance than love, even love for Lily, or anything that looks like Lily.
Also, why was Serena the first to be sorted?
| Mark Darcy chapter 1 . 3/23/2008
Livvy, this is Trickie Woo, this is the only archive where I'm registered as Mark Darcy.
I read Hades' Queen's review and all I can say is that she must be very young and have very little experience of real life. But let's leave personal reflections out of it and address her issues. First, it never specifically said that no one knew about his feelings for Lily other than Harry and Dumbledore. I'm sure Slughorn, as self centered as he was, figured it out and used it to his advantage when they were lab partners. Also, from what I gather from looking him up on the HPL, he was head of Slytherin House during Snape's student days and he must have known all the gossip and rumors about the Slytherins, after all some of it may have been useful to him.
I think McGonagall would have known too, since she was Lily's head of house and always took a maternal, thought strict, eye on her Gryffindors. I'm sure she was up on all the Griffyndor rumors and gossip, after all a head of house must know what is going on in that house.
The students obviously knew. How do you keep anything secret among all those adolescents, especially in a coed boarding school?
As far as being out of character, JKR has portryed him as being obsessed with Lily and as being unstable. I can easily see him developing an extention of that obsession for a girl who looked so much like her. Besides, JKR has not stuck to what was previously considered canon, especially in her interviews after DH was published. If she isn't bothering to stick with what she originally created as canon, why should a fan fic writer have to stick to it?
| Hades'Queen chapter 1 . 3/22/2008
Your Snape is very OOC. Furthermore, no one but Dumbledore and later Harry ever knew about what Snape felt for Lily Evans/Potter and I didn't really get the impression that very many people even knew that they were friends while they were in school.
But other than that, I suppose that this could have potential.

Expression Through Literary Devices Essay, Research Paper
In Richard Connell s short story, The Most Dangerous Game , the use of literary devices, found blended with other literary devices, gives the story an inner meaning. The blending of literary devices effectively expresses the intentions of Connell to present contrast between the antagonist and protagonist points of view. As a result, the reader can gain insight on the good and evil sides of the story to enhance the purpose of his interpretation. The Most Dangerous Game by Richard Connell presents literary devices such as foreshadowing, setting, and irony which reveal the underlying meaning of the story.
Connell s use of foreshadowing creates an atmosphere of mystery and a hesitant feeling of not knowing what events will occur. For instance, Zaroff has ceased [hunting] because all the animals had become too easy to chase; but one animal has a certain characteristic of being able to reason which rekindles his passion for the thrill of the hunt (68). The vague statement at which Zaroff makes at Rainsford obviously hints toward humans as being the animal of reason because referring to the statement Rainsford makes in the early stages of the story, he asserts that animals do not feel or think. Now that Rainsford conceives the idea that Zaroff hunts humans, it provides Rainsford with a frustrating mental reaction of fear and anger because Zaroff openly declares that he poaches humans for amusement and yet Rainsford feels the anxiety of dying in his sick game. Equally important, while Zaroff hunts strategically, [his] brain against [Rainsford] (71), it sent a shudder of cold horror in the flowing veins of Rainsford because of the fear that he will lose [his] nerve (73). Immediately, when Rainsford enters the repulsive jungle, he knows that the strategy for staying alive becomes not only physically, but by remaining mentally strong and not losing his nerves. For this reason, by staying on objective and visualizing his goal of achieving victory over Zaroff; Rainsford will not have to worry about weakness from hunger because he will be full of hope and optimism for the rest of his life. Connell utilizes foreshadowing in a way that other authors do not compare because when he uses an event that contains foreshadowing, he does not state it candidly but blends foreshadowing into story like the way an artist creates a painting by manipulating colors onto a canvas forming a brilliant work of art.
Connell utilizes the strength of the story by combining the setting with mood to observe the reaction of the characters when the environment around them changes. For example, as the poisonous [air] engulfs the yacht, it gives Whitney a mental chill; a sort of sudden dread as Rainsford and him sail precariously towards the island (62). Whitney, frightened by the grim nature around him, feels like a wounded bird fighting for its life among the hungry predators hiding in the unknown. The shroud of darkness completely surrounds not only Whitney, but the entire yacht which leaves him in a state of anxiety because of what lies in cover amid the dreadful island. Furthermore, as the eyes of Zaroff scatter over the island, searching for Rainsford, Rainsford froze there, every muscle tensed afraid that the eyes will see (73). With shelter high above in the trees, away from Zaroff, Rainsford awaits for the perfect moment where he will jump down from among the sky and pounce on Zaroff like a leopard killing its prey. Consequently, while Rainsford keeps repeating the moment of victory inside his mind; the self-confidence, overflowing out of his veins, develops into uncertainty. Since Zaroff possesses the island and with his military expertise, scouts the island for any advantages in hunt; Rainsford fears that Zaroff will counter the surprise attack and kill him, making the hunter become the prey. When Connell interweaves setting into mood, the method he uses touches the senses of all who read the story. Because of the intricate detail he constructs, the story progresses like threads in a loom; at first, the threads appear in a state of disorganization, not knowing what role lies for them ahead. But as the weaver creates order among the threads, he presents to them a purpose; to touch the senses of the mind with its brilliant colors and complex weaving which Connell produces in the story.
The irony, which Connell exhibits, integrates with theme to introduce the meaning of the story, not the meaning of the words on the pages of the book, but what the story means to the reader. During the time when Zaroff hunts for humans, it gives [him] pleasure ; but when Rainsford heightens with fierce anger, he claims that he [is] not a murderer because he does not kill humans (68). The moment at which Rainsford voices his opinion becomes essential to the development of his character because Rainsford, unknowingly, forces himself to consider both sides of the hunt, the hunter and the prey. Because of his stubborn ideas that animals do not think or understand, he realizes the mistakes of his motif only when he changes side to become the prey. In addition, as the conversation between Rainsford and Zaroff intensifies, Rainsford insults Zaroff by calling him barbarous because he [shoots] down men (70). By stating his opinion with such passion, not knowingly he contradicts his message of power and superiority over animals. But in reality, animals such as dogs view humans as animals and equals and thus, animals do feel and understand information like humans do. As the irony of the story embeds itself with theme, the story launches into the mind of society. Take a spider for example, the people of today perceive spiders as poisonous and immediately kill them because people do not take the time to understand the significance of the creature and kill out of fear.
With foreshadowing, setting, and irony essential to the effect of the story, Connell utilizes his command of these literary devices to relate to the everyday life of the reader. Throughout the story, Zaroff exclaims that when he murders animals, it does not excite him which leads him to kill humans. The wrongful action which Zaroff commits demonstrates the way the world behaves today, specifically the hunting world. For this reason in the hunting world of today, people kill animals for either game or for enjoyment; but what perverse mind enjoys that slaughter of creatures? The violence of today exists all around where people call home or gather to socialize with other people. For example, when people leave their home to watch movies; people mostly watch violent or action movies for their exciting content. As soon as the movie ends, people come away from the theater with sadistic images which begins the desensitization from violence. The world today must recognize this event that happens to often to the population of the world today because when people view violent movies frequently and feel nothing, people become like Zaroff and kill animals or people because movies do not provide enough exhilaration.

Happy Birthday to Mother's Day!
A man loves his sweetheart the most, his wife the best, but his mother the longest. Irish Proverb
Mother's day in the US became an official holiday in 1914, so this year we celebrate 100 years of Mother's day. Many people still believe it was created by Hallmark as one of their commercial ideas, but actually it was established by a West Virginian woman as a day to honor motherhood. Read More
"How do I love thee? Let me count the ways…"
Ah love; never is it more expressed than in February. The history of Valentine's Day–and the story of its patron saint–is shrouded in mystery. We do know that February has long been celebrated as a month of romance, and that St. Valentine's Day, as we know it today, contains vestiges of both Christian and ancient Roman tradition. There were 3 different saints named Valentinus or Valentine.
One legend contends that Valentine was a priest who served during the third century in Rome. When Emperor Claudius II decided that single men made better soldiers than those with wives and families, he outlawed marriage for young men. Valentine, realizing the injustice of the decree, defied Claudius and continued to perform marriages for young lovers in secret. When Valentine's actions were discovered, Claudius ordered that he be put to death.
Other stories suggest that Valentine may have been killed for attempting to help Christians escape harsh Roman prisons. According to one legend, an imprisoned Valentine actually sent the first "valentine" greeting himself after he fell in love with a young girl–possibly his jailor's daughter–who visited him during his confinement. Before his death, it is alleged that he wrote her a letter signed "From your Valentine," an expression that is still in use today.
With the day fast approaching, some of us are struggling to find just the right gift to express our feelings. Studies show the top Valentines gifts (for both men and women) are cards, flowers, chocolate, lingerie, jewelry, personal items and wine.
We are highlighting a few of the gifts that we like this Valentine's Day, using our Rossi 1931 papers. Feel free to use our ideas if you are still searching !
Giving Thanks
"As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them."
John Fitzgerald Kennedy
Thanksgiving is America's most celebrated tradition. It falls every year on the fourth Thursday in the month of November. Its origin can be traced back to the 16th century when the first thanksgiving dinner is said to have taken place.
In 1609, a group of Puritans fleeing religious persecution in England moved to Holland. They lived in Holland for a number of years until, in 1620, a group of English investors — the Merchant Adventurers — financed a trip for more than 100 passengers to the New World. On Sept. 6, 1620, 102 passengers set sail on a ship called the Mayflower, a 17th century sailing vessel leaving from England. The pilgrims reached Plymouth Rock on December 11th 1620, after a sea journey of 66 days. Many did not make the final landing in Plymouth (Massachusetts), succumbing to the extreme cold. Still many others perished from that first cold winter in Plymouth without much food.
In the spring of 1621, native Indians taught the pilgrims to survive by growing food. With their help, the Pilgrims were able to survive in the New World. They were taught how to get sap out of the maple trees, how to avoid plants that were poisonous and how to plant corn, beans and pumpkins. In the autumn of 1621, Plymouth Colony's first governor, William Bradford, decided to throw a celebratory feast and invited the colony's American Indian neighbors to take part. The American Indians brought food as well, and the celebration is said to have lasted for three days. The grand feast was organized to thank God for his favors. This communal dinner is popularly known as the "first thanksgiving". It's unclear whether the Pilgrims themselves called that first feast a thanksgiving celebration, but they were certainly celebrating the abundance of food and the peace with their American Indian neighbors. There is however, no evidence to prove if the dinner actually took place; some historians believe pilgrims were quite religious in which case, their thanksgiving would have included a day of fasting and praying. Other historians say that the dinner did indeed take place.
It wasn't until several years later, after enduring a month's long drought, that Thanksgiving was celebrated in earnest. In response to the hot, dry summer months, the governor called for a fast. Soon afterward, rain revived the shriveled crops, and the Puritans celebrated.
The custom of marking good fortune with a day of gratitude quickly caught on throughout New England. In the early days of the United States, the new nation's leaders began proclaiming country-wide thanksgiving celebrations. In the American Revolution, for example, the Continental Congress called for a day of thanksgiving to mark the U.S. victory at the Battle of Saratoga. Then in 1789, President George Washington called for a day of thanksgiving in recognition of the U.S. Constitution's ratification.
Although its origins are traced back to that first thanksgiving in 1621, a number of other countries celebrate harvest related festivals. They are observed with different names and in different seasons. Harvest related festivals, all the over the world are characterized with fun and merrymaking, for the most part, celebrating communal harmony. Each region has its unique customs and traditions to jubilate the occasion.
Canada celebrates thanksgiving on the second Monday in the month of October .The first Canadian thanksgiving was celebrated on 15th April 1872 to thank the recovery of King Edward VII from serious illness. The next thanksgiving was celebrated after a few years in 1879 on a Thursday.
Canada later, had a turbulent time deciding the day of national Thanksgiving. It fluctuated between Mondays some years and Thursday in others. Finally, on January 31, 1957, Parliament announced the second Monday in the month of October as the official 'Thanksgiving Day'. It was declared as "a day of general Thanksgiving to Almighty God for the bountiful harvest with which Canada has been blessed." The thanksgiving celebrations include parades, customary 'family feast' and 'turkey'. It is a time for sharing, loving and family reunions. The central idea behind the celebration is to be thankful for the past harvest and praying for the coming year.
India also has a number of harvest related festivals in different regions. Though the underlying principle behind each of them is same, every festival is exclusive and different from the other.
Other Asian countries such as China, Malaysia, and Korea celebrate the festival on different dates. Each festival has a folklore attached to it. Harmony, peace, and feeling gratitude is the underlying theme of each celebration.
Many view the first Thanksgiving as an example of the possibility of great respect and cooperation between two different cultures.

it. This paper is a dream and I thoroughly enjoyed crafting these albums."

Apple involved in class action lawsuit alleging refurbished units were provided under AppleCare+
Date: Thursday, July 21st, 2016, 08:29
Category: AppleCare, Hardware, Legal, News
Well, this is kind of a mess.
On Thursday, Apple was hit with yet another class action lawsuit, the suit alleging that the company has been replacing damaged devices under AppleCare+ with refurbished units. This isn't the first suit of its kind in this regard and similar suits have been filed in the past.
This lawsuit, filed today in California, accuses Apple of not holding true to the AppleCare+ contract, which states that devices replaced as part of the program are the "equivalent to new in performance and reliability." The lawsuit was initiated by Vicky Maldonado and Joanne McRight.
Both Maldonado and McRight allege that they had damaged devices replaced via AppleCare, but were given refurbished devices as opposed to new devices. The two claim that they were not told of this when they signed up for AppleCare. Maldonado also noted that her replacement device did not perform as expected, thus making it not "equivalent to new in performance and reliability".
The core argument here is that the plaintiffs' definition of "refurbished" and Apple's does not match. Maldonado and McRight argue that the word "refurbished" is synonymous with "reconditioned," implying that it is a "secondhand unit that has been modified to be new for all purposes relevant to this litigation."
The two have stated that a "new" unit should not have been previously sold, modified and should consist of all new parts.
AppleCare+ customers are generally given the option of waiting for a repair to take place on their original device or to be given a replacement device, with most choosing the latter of the two options. It's unclear, at least by the initial filing, however, if Maldonado and McRight were given the option of an in-store repair. The two argue that by having their devices replaced by a refurb, they are deprived of the "use and value" of their original devices.
The suit basically accuses Apple of breach of both contract and warranty as well as the concealment of information from the public as well as fraud, false advertising, and the violation of secondhand merchandise labeling laws. The plaintiffs are seeking an award of attorneys' fees, costs, pre- and post-judgement interest on any amounts awarded, and any other relief deemed just and appropriate by the ruling.
If you've seen this practice on your end, please let us know in the comments.
