In a word? Our weekend in Citrusdal was just magical. We were surrounded by nature, had the huge hot pool to ourselves the day we arrived, and a private jacuzzi right on our verandah's doorstep. For a pair of Aquarian water babies, that's the ultimate in relaxation. Here's our (long) weekend away, in pics…
Friday, 19 November 2015: Goats, tortoises and hot pools
Saturday, 21 November 2015: Rainy morning, Scrabble evening
Sunday, 22 November 2015: Breakfast, hike and home
Thanks for the wonderful break, Citrusdal – we'll be back!

Given this sum:
$$ \frac{1}{n} + \frac{1}{n+1} + \frac{1}{n+2} + \cdots + \frac{1}{2n-1}$$
I am trying to convert (approximate) it to an integral. This is what I have so far:
$$ \frac{1}{n} + \frac{1}{n+1} + \frac{1}{n+2} + \cdots + \frac{1}{2n-1} = \frac{1}{n} \left( 1 + \frac{n}{n+1} + \cdots + \frac{n}{2n-1} \right) = \sum_{i=1}^{n-1}{\frac{1}{n}\frac{n}{n+i}}$$
How do I continue from here? Also, how do I set the limits of the integral once I find it?
What do I want my sum to look like before I can integrate over it? Are there any conditions?

Mayor Fontana pointed out that he, Henderson, had seconded the take no action motion.
Hubert was rapidly losing patience. "You can't amend no action," he lectured. "It's an inert state. There is no movement. The molecules have stopped."
Branscombe wanted to know what would happen if "we accept this and we don't finance it at budget?"
Harold Usher was also present. He had voted against it at council. He didn't like taxpayers paying for a building for other people's convenience. He had been on the parking committee too. There had never been a consensus. Besides, too much parking undermines public transit.
Then it was Joe Swan's turn. He had originally put forward the motion at council; he didn't want to see it lost now. He pointed out that although things were improving in the downtown, there is still a 15% business vacancy rate. Lack of secured monthly parking is a barrier to attracting new business, he asserted. "Twenty years we've been talking about this. We need it. We need it now!"
As Hubert put it, "The waters got muddied." He suggested that the matter be referred to a special meeting the following Monday prior to council. Staff informed him that the analysis required could not be completed in that time frame. Hubert then referred it to staff for a report back at the next FAC meeting.

Arteriovenous malformations are not very common but they are still being studied extensively by doctors and scientists to devise new ways to diagnose them, prevent their subsequent complication in the form of hemorrhage, and minimize the signs and symptoms associated with brain and spinal AVMs. In some patients, the symptoms start to appear between the age of 10 and 40, while some patients do not experience any sign at all till the AVM ruptures and causes internal bleeding.
Clinical and laboratory research is being undertaken by doctors particularly neurologists all over the world in the context of central nervous system vascular lesions to find new treatment options, assess results of combined treatments, see if certain AVMs grow in size or remain the same throughout the lifetime, and study the effects of multiple lesions in the brain along with arteriovenous malformation. Some of the topics that have been covered in previous research and case studies include;
• Artificial embolization for the treatment of AVMs
• History of asymptomatic malformations of the brain
• A link between intracranial AVMs and dural arteries
• Connection of subarachnoid hemorrhage with AVMs
• Bleeding characteristics of cerebral arteriovenous malformations
• New grading system for AVMs
Clinical Studies
A good number of clinical studies are available in literature regarding the study of arteriovenous malformations and their several types. Some of these are described below:
– Arteriovenous malformations of the brain: natural history in unoperated patients
o In this study, a total of 217 patients with AVMs were managed without being operated on. It was found after about 10 years that the risk of hemorrhage was 42% and the risk of death was 29%. Many other complications and symptoms were also studied including epilepsy and neurological handicap.
– A proposed grading system for arteriovenous malformations
o A new grading system to grade the lesions has been proposed in this study, which would be used to predict morbidity and mortality in patients with AVMs depending on the size of the lesion, venous drainage pattern, and neurological health of the brain. According to this system, Grade I lesions are usually very small in size and are superficial in nature and Grade VI lesions are large, extremely deep, and totally inoperable.
– The natural history of symptomatic arteriovenous malformations of the brain: a 24-year follow-up
o A total of 166 patients with symptomatic AVMs (not operated on) were studied giving a follow-up period of about 24 years. It was found that the rate of rebleeding was 4% per year and the rate of mortality was found to be 1% per year. About 23% of the cases died during the study from brain hemorrhage.
– Artificial embolization of cerebral arteries: report of use in a case of arteriovenous malformation
o Vascular embolization is a treatment option available not just for patients with arteriovenous malformations but also other lesions in the brain and spinal cord. This study proposes an artificial way to achieve the objective of this procedure. It was found that certain large AVMs that are too risky to be removed by surgery can be treated with artificial embolization.
– Bleeding from cerebral arteriovenous malformations as part of their natural history
o A total of 191 patients were studied in this research having brain AVMs to see chances of a hemorrhage influenced by some other factors like age, sex, and location of the lesion. It was found that among those 191 patients, 102 experienced a single hemorrhage and 32 experienced more than one hemorrhage. There were 57 patients who did not experience any hemorrhage or bleeding because of their AVM. It was also found that size of the AVM had a great impact on the risk of hemorrhage.

Cameron – YINI student
Cameron completed a Year in Industry (YINI) placement at Balfour Beatty Mott MacDonald in 2010 where he worked to design cost-effective bridge replacements. He is now going on to study Civil Engineering at Warwick University. Read on to see what Cameron thought of his YINI placement.
Which post-16 qualifications did you study?
A levels: Maths, Physics & German.
AS levels: Further Maths, Design & Technology.
What motivated you to apply for a placement?
Mainly financial as the benefits can obviously be substantial but also thought the experience would be invaluable in the current job climate.
What did your typical day whilst on your placement involve?
Working in the office doing design or assessment calculations for motorway structures.
What were you most proud of during your placement?
My bridge design which was chosen as one out of 18 others to be recommended for construction to the Highways Agency by a feasibility study. I went on to submit this for the "Contribution to the Business Award" and got into the top four nationally, winning the prize for "Best science and engineering entry."
What was the best and worst thing about the experience?
The best thing was to be working at the level of graduates with several years experience and seeing my work being both implemented and also treated with similar respect to that of anyone else in the office. Whilst the worst thing was waiting for work to complete.
Did your experiences whilst on your placement change your career ambitions?
I changed my degree course from general engineering to civil engineering because of my experiences. Ironically before I started the placement, civil engineering was the specialism I was least interested in and the one I was least likely to choose.
What made you decide to go on to study at university?
The structure of the engineering sector I was interested in is such that it is far more difficult and takes far longer to reach your full potential within the business without a degree.
What skills will you take from your placement into university?
Obviously there is some technical knowledge, although I assume it will be a long time before I can implement a lot of that as we will be starting from basic theory. One of the most useful skills however is that of self study which will undoubtedly come in extremely useful.
If you could pass on some advice to future students who are given similar opportunities for work placements what would you say to them?
Don't sit around waiting for work; it looks bad on your manager if you're sitting doing nothing and worst of all it makes you look extremely lazy. Take the initiative and go looking for the work, ask colleagues, managers or just use the time to research and teach yourself some of the theory. Be productive with your time and people will notice.
What did you dream of doing when you were growing up and how has that changed?
As a child I always wanted to be an inventor, so although I haven't strictly reached my goal as an engineer I think I have come pretty close.
If you had to describe yourself in 3 words what would they be?
Tenacious, playful and inventive
What do you like to do in your free time when you are not working or studying?
I enjoy sport and socializing. I'll either go out for a jog or sit in the pub with friends, or I might try and combine the two and play a game of rugby.
And finally…looking back over the choices you have made and the opportunities that have been available to you so far regarding your education, would you have done anything differently?
Having found out about the other opportunities provided by the EDT such as Headstart I sometimes wish I had also taken part in those activities simply because I think I would have really enjoyed them and it would have helped me focus earlier on what I wanted to do.

It is believed in economics that an individual selects among combination of quantities of goods depending on the utility provided by them as per the individual's preferences.
An indifference curve is a curve indicating that the individual will be indifferent to the combination of goods or bundles that lie on the indifference curve, since the indifference curve denoted the goods having the same utility value.
For Example, All points on one indifference curve give the person the exact same amount of utility.
For instance, if you give Mohan a choice between points A and B on this indifference curve, he is indifferent to the combination of the products.
One shirt and two pair of Shoes makes him just as content as two T-shirts and one pair of Shoes.

I was born in 1944 in London, UK, Both sets of my grandparents were immigrants from Russia from where they had fled due to the pogroms against the Jewish population. I studied physiotherapy at St Mary's Hospital, in London and worked in a school for children with special needs and then in an adult brain injury unit and geriatric psychiatric center .I is also qualified in several complementary therapies.
I immigrated to Israel in 1998 with my husband and now live in Jerusalem.
My entry into the world of poetry in 1997 came as a great surprise as English had always been my poorest subject at school. My school wouldn't even allow me to sit for the GCSE English Literature exam as I was so poor in it that they didn't want to waste their money!
In 1997, during a period of depression, I was advised to go down to the seaside on my own.I had with me a small artists drawing pad that had been a present from one my patients and was intending to drawer a picture of waves but my instead my pen seemed to write a poem by itself (Dew Drops).
Since that moment I have been gifted with the ability to write down my innermost feelings, be they joyful or painful and this led to my healing process.
My poems has been published in various journals such as 'Voices' and 'H2E' in Israel, 'Yated' newspaper in Israel, Uk and South Africa ; 'The Dorenda Review' in Israel and USA.; 'Poetica' forum and 'Leaves' in India . I am a regular contibutor on "Your Space" section of "Muse India" litary e-journal and together with Shernaz have won 2 first prizes and 2 honourable mentions for our Tapestry poems.

I have a friend who asked me if she thought her neighbor might be being abused. "She never leaves the house, there are security cameras everywhere. It seems like her kids aren't allowed to play with anybody. And come to think of it, I hear him yelling alot. Do you think anything is going on?"
Isolating is the most important tactic for an abuser. Less obvious isolation tactics are telling them that their friends and family are bad for them. Telling them that they are better off being at home doing the work that is needed…One tactic a man I know uses is he makes the house a pig sty and doesn't take care of the kids so she feels like she can never leave. Another popular tactic is rushing your wife/partner when they are outside the house with frequent cell phone calls about "where are you?!"
Abuse isn't always physical. Sometimes, it is being in a relationship with someone who is sarcastic and hostile about one's appearance. Sometimes, abuse is how someone is discounted in front of friends or laughed at. Sometimes, abuse is withholding support or trying to make somebody feel bad about stuff they shouldn't feel bad about. It is complex. But, if you are feeling abused in a relationship, then you probably are.
There are all kinds of ways partners can abuse each other. I like people to look at the power and control wheel and see if any of those manipulation tactics hold true in their relationship.

"That was just like a concert in Lagos," said Geoff. That was the best compliment I could receive!
Christian Weyers, from x-Group Entertainment (that guy =>), called me up in March (2014) saying that he saw my photography on Behance (a social media website for creatives). He wanted to know if I would be interested in creating promotional images for a band he's managing. I asked for more information. He went on to educate me on the Afrobeat movement of the 60s and 70s, how it originated in Lagos, Nigeria and how the movement is surging again in the underground music scene. He then told me about a 17-member Afrobeat band he manages called Lagos Roots. At that point in the conversation, the only question that rifled through my brain was: When do I ever get the opportunity to photograph a 17-member, Afrobeat band? This was a new one for me. So, after working out some logistics, I jumped in my car and headed north to Oakland, CA.
The objective was to create a dance-hall-like environment, with the band playing for their fans. I wanted the imagery to feel like the concert was taking place somewhere tropical / exotic. The location Christian procured, American Steele Studios, in Oakland, CA definitely helped to create the vibe. Lighting, location and a little booze helped everyone turn my idea into reality. The shoot was a success, everyone was happy with the imagery. The best compliment came from Geoff, the band's lead singer and Lagos, Nigeria native. Check out the images here

Oppression is when othering becomes institutionalized, that is when a culture, social structures, or any prevailing entity, starts to enforce patterns ranging from segregation, to ethnic cleansing. Privilege is freedom from oppression. They're reverse sides of the same coin.
You don't typically notice privilege until you've lost it. In geek terms, the Game of Thrones fan that can't afford HBO, or the gamer with no money during the big Summer Steam sale. Slightly outside the padded world of geekdom, privilege refers to anyone with the monetary, social, or other resources to not worry about details like your next meal, or paycheck, or rent check. Perhaps the culturally enlightened vegan, backpacking through India. They're a tourist to poverty. They get to go home. Those chronically undereducated kids, starving on the hot pavement or barking about their trinket stalls, they are home.
Recognizing privilege can be a subtle shift. The American architect with three kids, who finds himself in his third year without steady work. It can be sudden. The Greek banker who had steady work for three decades, washed into the tidal wave of a countrywide depression. Only so much can come from empathy. If you only ever live on the white side of town, only ever go to good colleges and get good jobs, never travel outside your wealthy country, or your medium-wealthy area, you can be blithely unaware just how differently other people live.
Ignorance over oppression, especially willful ignorance, is a certain brand of privilege. While some will violently defend their rights to that ignorance, that works contrary to the listening which averts tragedies that are – especially for the privileged – stunning in both their horror and magnitude. It also averts the bland, everyday gaming banter that's been stale for awhile.

I've worked on a lot of cool things from the Living Social partnership to implementing SeatGeek checkout on mobile, but my favorite project so far was probably the redesign of our General Admission pages.
What do you want to work on next?
I would really love to work on the next release of Sixpack, our a/b testing framework. I think it could be made even more accessible, allowing anyone at the company to run a/b tests by clicking a few buttons and pasting in some custom code.
What's your favorite SeatGeek experience?
Sylvan Esso at Bowery Ballroom. Hands down.
What's your top NYC recommendation – food, fun, neighborhood, etc.?
Porto Rico is my favorite coffee shop in NYC. They have dozens of burlap sacks filled with beans from around the world – the smells are heavenly. There's also a fantastic Filipino restaurant I love in the East Village called Jeepney. I know it sounds weird, but try the banana ketchup ribs.

So what exactly does a tisane that blends South African Rooibos with Moroccan almonds and marzipan have to do with an 18th century Russian palace? Great question. It"s a long and convoluted tale. St. Petersburg"s Winter Palace was commissioned by Catherine the Great and built between 1754 and 1762. As it goes, the architect that was charged with designing the opulent structure, with its 1,786 doors and 1,945 windows, was an Italian named Francesco Bartolomeo Rastrelli. Rastrelli, knowing nothing of Russia or Catherine the Great, naturally wanted to bring the comforts of home with him to his new city. For the architect this included the sweet taste of Marzipan, or in Italian Marzipane, made famous by the artisans of Palermo who molded the confection to resemble fresh fruit. In particular, he loved a special version made with Moroccan almonds, imported to Sicily via Tunisia. In his traveling chests he stockpiled enough to last him through his first season.
Unbeknownst to Rastrelli his patron, Catherine the Great, was also a lover of Marzipan. However, owing to her German descent, she was born Sophie Friederike Auguste von Anhalt-Zerbst, it was typically the Germanic version of the sweet treat she craved. Unbeknownst to Rastrelli, Catherine the Great was also a great lover of the men-folk. One day while casually enjoying a papaya shaped piece of Marzipan after lunch, Catherine spotted him in the hall. It was love at first sight. Rastrelli offered her some of his dessert, Catherine acquiesced and offered him…well…we can"t go there. In the end, the Winter Palace was completed a little behind schedule perhaps, but at least the architect had a smile on his face.
As in the immortal words of Jack Palance: "Believe it or not". To celebrate the fortuitous nature of this historical meeting we"ve blended this fantastic herbal tea with Rooibos, almond pieces, dried papaya and natural flavors. Enjoy the almond-like flavors of love.
200 ml (about 7 ounces) of brewed Rooibos contains the following nutrients:
Nutrient Function in the Body per 200 ml
Iron (Fe) Essential for transport of oxygen in the blood 0.07 mg
Potassium (K) Assists certain metabolic functions 7.12 mg
Calcium (Ca) Necessary for strong teeth and bones 1.09 mg
Copper (Cu) Assists certain metabolic processes 0.07 mg
Zinc (Zn) Necessary for normal growth and development of healthy skin 0.04 mg
Magnesium (Mg) Assists a healthy nervous system and other metabolic processes 1.57 mg
Fluoride (F) Necessary for strong teeth and bones 0.22 mg
Manganese (Mn) Assists metabolic processes and bone growth and development 0.04 mg
Sodium (Na) Necessary for fluid and acid-base balance 6.16 mg
Hot tea brewing method:
Bring filtered or freshly drawn cold water to a rolling boil. Place 1 slightly heaping teaspoon of loose rooibos for each 7-9oz/200-260ml of fluid volume in the teapot. Pour the boiling water into the teapot. Cover and let steep for 3-7 minutes according to taste (the longer the steeping time the stronger the brew). Add sugar and milk to taste.
Iced tea brewing method (Pitcher): (to make 1 liter/quart):
Place 6 slightly heaping teaspoons of loose rooibos into a teapot or heat resistant pitcher. Using filtered or freshly drawn cold water, boil and pour 1Ľ cups/315ml over the rooibos. Steep for 5 minutes. Quarter fill a serving pitcher with cold water. Pour the brewed rooibos into your serving pitcher straining the rooibos or removing the bags. Add ice and top-up the pitcher with cold water.
Garnish and sweeten to taste. A rule of thumb when preparing fresh brewed iced rooibos is to increase the strength of the hot rooibos brew since it will be poured over ice and diluted with cold water.
Iced tea brewing method (Individual Serving):
Place 1 slightly heaping teaspoon of loose rooibos into a teapot for each serving required. Using filtered or freshly drawn cold water, boil and pour 6-7oz/170-200ml per serving over the rooibos. Cover and let steep for 5 minutes. Add hot rooibos herbal tea to a 12oz/375ml acrylic glass filled with ice, straining the rooibos or removing the bags. Not all of the tea will fit, allowing for approximately an additional ˝ serving. Sweeten and/or add lemon to taste. A rule of thumb when preparing fresh brewed iced rooibos is to increase the strength of hot rooibos since it will be poured over ice and diluted.
RECOMMENDATION: We recommend the use of our "1 Cup of Perfect Tea" measuring spoon (Item# 11MS-1370) for best results. Please contact Metropolitan Tea to place an order.
More antioxidants are extracted from tea (L. Camellia Sinesis), or rooibos (Asphalatus Linearis), the longer it is brewed….and the more tea or rooibos that is used, the greater the antioxidant benefit.
We strongly recommend using filtered or freshly drawn cold water brought to a rolling boil when brewing all types of tea. Today"s water has been known to carry viruses, parasites and bacteria. Boiling the water will kill these elements and reduce the potential incidence of water-borne illnesses.
Ideal Brewing Temperature: 100şC/212şF.
Minimum Brewing Temperature: 90şC/194şF.

Go on, tell me this doesn't add up.
Whilst Rocksteady's send off for Batman has been bittersweet, it doesn't take a genius to figure out that another game is already underway. Question is, which beloved studio is brave enough to take the reigns, or rather, which studio is lucky enough to get given them?
Warner Bros. Montréal did a commendable job on the Arkham trilogy spin-off, Arkham Origins, but it didn't match the notable heights the series is known for. It might be sad to realise, but you should probably count them out of the running in continuing the series. One slip up is one too many.
No, if Warner Bros. Entertainment gives Batman to someone else it's going to be someone they already have ties with, alongside being a studio that understands how to perfect an open-world game.
There aren't a lot of developers that know how to craft a great open-world title, all the while maintaining a high mark of quality throughout. There's Rockstar, but I think we all know they've got enough under their belt to last them the foreseeable future. Who else would you trust to take over Batman in video games?
Middle-earth developer Monolith could also be a front runner, particularly after their recent success with Shadow of Mordor, but due to that success they may well be working on a Middle-earth sequel.
Avalanche Studios are best known for their work on the Just Cause series, and seeing as both the third Just Cause title and Warner Bros. courted Mad Max are both out in 2015, you have to ask yourself: what would a high-ranking developer such as Avalanche be working on next? They haven't announced anything for the future, plus two of their biggest titles are already finalised/available. Something is happening behind-the-scenes, of that you can be sure.
It's exciting to speculate who might develop another Batman game, but where exactly could the series lead to next? Would a continuation of the Arkham-verse be a good idea? Could a Batman Beyond setting finally be on the cards, or will the games take inspiration from the upcoming movies featuring Superman and Batman? It definitely makes sense. I guess we'll know soon enough who'll be taking care of B-man for his future endeavours.
With rumours circulating that Arkham Asylum and Arkham City will receive the remaster treatment, it's a good bet that the fifth Arkham game (if they even continue the series) is a long way off. I suspect we won't even begin to learn about its existence until at least late-2016, though 2017 is more likely.
We want to know what you think.

Many say that technology is evil in a roundabout way, they will inform us that technology limits us and takes away our freedoms. Instead of being isolated by means of technology, technology can be used to reconnect humanity as communities engaged in creative and pro-energetic use of the media arts to deal with human wants and social points. Technology is correctly outlined as any utility of science to perform a function.
Computers, refined software program, e-mail, and Internet access are the brand new instruments of business and training in an evolving put up-industrial society the place data truly is energy. Many individuals around the globe take for example students in colleges and universities have taken the lead analyzing the connection between science and technology. The MovieMaking Process is a simultaneous studying and instructing device that incorporates human development with the very best of right this moment's digital technology. Without society then there would be no science and technology and that is why the invention of sure instruments and equipment have helped obtain huge issues.
An example of technology is the merchandise that had been invented throughout the space program, which have allowed engineers and other scientists to use variations of those products and materials in manufacturing. Basically, he stands for a impartial strategy of the linkage between technology and American points regarding unemployment and eroding wages. Science and technology has actually largely contributed to the imaginative and prescient of man about himself.
Some of probably the most poignant criticisms of technology are found in what are actually thought of to be dystopian literary classics, for instance Aldous Huxley 's Brave New World and other writings, Anthony Burgess 's A Clockwork Orange , and George Orwell 's Nineteen Eighty-Four And, in Faust by Goethe , Faust's promoting his soul to the devil in return for power over the bodily world, is also often interpreted as a metaphor for the adoption of industrial technology.
The growth of technology may draw upon many fields of data, together with scientific, engineering, mathematical , linguistic , and historic knowledge, to attain some practical outcome. The Power of Stevens marketing campaign aims to boost the quality and affect of Stevens by securing help for student success, recruitment and retention of outstanding school, state-of-the art services, and excellence in educational programs. Maryland officials say they limit access to the technology, and the FBI says the technology is crucial to catching terrorists and criminals.

Rockwell Automation enhances modern DCS to help companies capture more value from digital transformation 12 January 2018
PlantPAx DCS Roadmap Supports Smarter, More Secure and Productive Process Operations
Digital transformation in process operations requires seamless and secure connectivity between the device and the enterprise.
The PlantPAx distributed control system
(DCS) from Rockwell Automation has long helped make this connectivity possible through its alignment with plant-wide automation technology and use of open communication standards. Now, Rockwell Automation is revealing new enhancements coming to the platform to help process operations capture more value across the entire plant and enterprise.
During 2018, new innovations to the PlantPAx DCS will help users create smarter, more secure, robust and productive operations, said Jim Winter, director, Global Process Business, Rockwell Automation. The next release of our PlantPAx DCS will again leverage valuable input from process users and align with preferred industry standards to deliver increased value to the process industries. These innovations help companies leverage their DCS to more easily capture benefits from plant-wide integration in the Connected Enterprise.
The next PlantPAx DCS release will help users reduce unplanned downtime and improve system availability. This includes support for Parallel Redundancy Protocol (PRP), an industry standard for redundant Ethernet, enabling more secure controller and I/O communications.
The next release will also feature updated human machine interface (HMI) and trending tools to help increase productivity, and improve effectiveness of operations and maintenance functions. This includes an enhanced Library of Process Objects to better align with industry display design standards. The expanded library also includes intuitive integration with electrical protection devices, leveraging both EtherNet/IP and IEC-61850 communication standards. This further extends plant-wide control capabilities and connects electrical management and control, reducing infrastructure duplication resulting in easier implementation and lower total cost of ownership.

Executive Director of Contractors Conflict
You are the new executive director of the Colorado Registrar of Contractors (CROC). In this capacity, you are charged with issuing contractor licenses to the state's builders, contractors, electricians, plumbers, etc. (basically anyone involved in the construction industry). You also investigate complaints by consumers against contractors and work to protect consumers against fraud.
Things are going well for the first few months. Then, one day, something unexpected happens. You get a call from a state senator telling you that you're suddenly on his bad side and you had better watch your back. Apparently, this senator has a friend who is a contractor who recently had his license suspended for failure to submit his annual renewal paperwork on time. Everyone in your office knows this particular contractor and he has been a problem in the past, but he apparently has friends in high places.
The senator tells you he's now got a group of fellow legislators together who are going to get you fired for what your department has done to his friend. You're obviously concerned for your job and need to develop a strategy to deal with the situation. What are some potential actions and communication approaches you might take to turn the scenario around before it gets out of hand?

The most inquisitive creature in Africa is the baboon.
[A baboon swipes the Coke bottle from Xi, is subsequently chased, and climbs a tree.]
Xi said, "That is a very evil thing you've got. You better give it back so I can take it and throw it off the earth. It brought unhappiness to my family. If you don't give it to me it'll bring grief to you and your family too." He spoke long and earnestly until the baboon began to pay attention. He must have convinced it, and it dropped the thing. And Xi said, "You have done a very wise thing." – The Gods Must Be Crazy
In my June 22 post, I suggested that our tendency to read miracle stories as events, rather than messages, gets us into some sticky theological territory. Using the Elijah story as a springboard, I suggest that we look for the messages within miracles.
One of the great temptations in reading miracle stories is triggered by lines like this one: "Elijah prayed and God listened to the voice of Elijah." And then God proceeds to bring the child back from the dead. Right on cue. Because we're reading a story of faith here, not a live broadcast on CNN.
We, as readers, should be cautious about assuming that Elijah said some magic words and God responded. The message of this story is not "presto, change-o, and God raises the dead. How DOES he do it?" The messaage is that God is near.
Here's another message. Nobody falls outside God's attention. Case in point: Widows had it bad at the time and place in which these stories were written. Women's livelihoods depended upon the men in their families. If their husbands died, their only hope for survival was their sons. Women back then couldn't even inherit the property owned by their husbands and sons. That went to the closest male relative and if he didn't see fit to support the widow, too bad. These women were as vulnerable as anyone could possibly be back then.
And yet, we have this account[i] of the greatest of all Hebrew prophets interceding on behalf of people who the rest of society couldn't care less about. Through Elijah, God's grace is freely and fully extended to the most vulnerable people in that world.
Then there is God's presence, revealed in the compassion the Elijah clearly feels for this family. Elijah's is very recognizable human compassion. The phrase "he stretched himself over the child three times" seems rather creepy at first reading. But when I was working as a hospital chaplain, I saw more than one person sitting beside a hospital bed, their arms overlying their sick loved one, burying their face in the bedspread and praying just like Elijah prayed.
I have no doubt there are other ways to read Biblical miracle stories like this one; there are many notes inside these bottles. But I suspect the take-home messages will reveal some consistent themes:
- Nobody falls outside God's attention – not widows, not orphans, not immigrants, not non-Christians, not homeless people, not criminals, not people with mental illnesses or with disabilities, not poor people, not old people, not young people, not addicts, not red, yellow, black or white people. Nobody, nobody lives beyond God's view.
- Nobody lives beyond God's compassion – God is near enough to hear our most fervent prayers, even those too deep for words, even the valley of the shadow of death.
These messages are true heart of these stories. When our own miracles don't materialize, these truths still apply. They are the touchstones of our faith, they are what's real about our relationship with God. The miracles are just a container. The truth is in the message.
Readers, I suspect many if not most of us are praying for miracles right now. Let's not get hung up on the bottle – let us not get too hung up on the results we're hoping for. Let us contemplate the messages, in our sacred texts and in the events of our lives. As we pray the desires of our hearts, let us remember that God loves us more than we can believe or even imagine. That, my friends, is truly a miracle.
[i] See also this story's New Testament counterpart where Jesus raises a widow's son in very similar circumstances. The author of the book of Luke was profoundly concerned with issues of social justice. It's likely that he drew upon the Elijah story for inspiration in his retelling of Jesus' life.

Who has to pay the land transfer fees on a real estate transaction and how do you calculate it?
Category: Realtors
1 Comment → "Who has to pay the land transfer fees on a real estate transaction and how"
- reply
It's the home buyer who pays land transfer tax. Moneyville.ca just touched on closing costs/land transfer fees and budgeting carefully! http://goo.gl/cMswc
Example: a $559,900 purchase = $18,200 in additional costs on closing.
Home buyers should budget the equivalent of 1.5 to 4 per cent of the purchase price for closing costs. Canada Mortgage and Housing Corp. have a useful budgeting sheet that can help:
Mortgage comparison site Ratehub.ca has a LTT calculator:
that can help estimate the Land Transfer Tax.

People outside the music industry just don't understand the Loudness War.
When I explain it to them, when I get to the end, they always look at me in bewilderment and say:
"Why ?"
Why do people make music stupid-loud when listeners set the volume, when broadcast and players and online streaming remove the differences ? Why ?
And the answer is something that no-one likes to say out loud.
It's fear.
(Actually, it's FUD – Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt – to borrow the geek acronym)
- Fear of not keeping up with the Joneses
- Fear of not applying the "formula", of not doing the same thing as last time
- Fear of an industry whose business model is changing forever
- Fear of criticism
- Fear of failure
And fear is a powerful, insidious virus that can infect everything it touches.
Maybe you've heard before that it only takes one bad experience to wipe seven good ones from our memory of the day.
Well, there are seven stages in the traditional route of getting music to the listener:
- Songwriter
- Performer
- Recording engineer
- Mix engineer
- Mastering engineer
- Management
- Label
It only takes one person in that chain to succumb to Loudness War FUD to infect and fill the other six with fear – and suddenly a great-sounding mix is reduced to mush.
Because no-one wants to run the risk that the FUD is real. No-one wants to put their neck on the line.
The antidote to fear is facts
The antidote to uncertainty and doubt is knowledge.
Trusting the facts gives you faith.
Faith that:
- "Loudness" has no effect on sales – here's the research
- People don't like the "loudness war" sound – here's the evidence
- Replay volume is adjusted so "loud" CDs never sound louder than anything else
- "Loudness war" levels sound worse on the radio
- Dynamic sound is a great way to make your music stand out
So the solution to the loudness war problem is simple.
We just have to face the fear – and share the facts
When enough people have faith in the facts, the FUD has no power.
This video demonstrates the facts, quickly and clearly:
Share this video.
Try this technique. Share the facts. Support Dynamic Range Day.
Have faith.
Face the fear.
Fight the FUD.

I'll be the first to admit that I'm coming late to the California primary wars, but even I couldn't avoid catching Republican gubernatorial candidate Steve Poizner's ubiquitous new campaign ad. You know the one: Steve is single-handedly keeping a car from going over a cliff. The car, I think, is California, and the cliff, I think, is financial ruin. What you don't see is who's driving the car, but the voice-over tells the story:
Of course, an illegal immigrant is driving the California car over the cliff of financial ruin and only Steve Poizner, the Buford Pusser of Insurance Commissioners, is there to stop it. Thank God, because Meg Whitman, Poizner's opponent in the primaries, is just another Muslim-commie like Barack Hussein Obama, as this ad graphically explains:
Talk about feeling out of the loop! Hell, I thought the 12% unemployment rate, the collapse of Wall Street and it's trillion dollar bail-out, the demise of the auto industry, an endless war in the Middle East, and a 30% nose dive in the real estate market were the factors that took Cali to the brink of economic meltdown, when all along it was the illegal immigrant, California's perpetual political bogey man. Shit fire! Of late, I thought the little brown-skinned bastards were guilty of nothing more than shattering the early morning silence with their damnable leaf-blowers and driving their un-waxed and un-sightly Plymouth Neon's through out toney suburbs, but once again I am forced to confront the reality that the the hermanos are the source of all that is calamitous and evil in our society. I should have known better, since the only Republican candidate in history even dweebier than Poizner, Pete Wilson, reminded me of the same horrors over 20 years ago:
These illegals probably do cost the state a bunch of doe, but who knows? There are a lot of conflicting studies, some of which (horrors!) even suggest that amnesty would at least turn a cash-under-the-table economy into a tax windfall (see Marijuana, legalization).
In any event, any numbers crunching is beside the point. It's just comforting to know that I can sleep through 3 or 4 election cycles and get up to speed with a couple of campaign ads on tv. The guy or gal who cleans the slop off your table at your favorite restaurant has been, is, and always will be the source of all that is evil in California. At least according to Republicans.

Pets and care for them, conditions of keeping, feeding
Allowed in the nature of a great many dogs and cats, ferrets and hamsters. There are people who don't understand or criticize pet owners: bad smell, cats scratch, dogs bite. But Pets are amazing creatures who bring laughter and fun in the house, and some even treat and benefit. Pets is a mirror of the character and habits of the owner. What is the benefit to have a pet? Primarily this is good for those who have children. Pets bring a sense of responsibility, care and affection. Let us examine the world of Pets by popularity.
Most probably common Pets are cats. Freedom-loving, energetic and independent. They are easy to care for, they don't need to walk, a great option for those who have a small apartment.
Second in prevalence is the dog. Dog is a true guard and friend who will never betray. A content dog is more difficult than cats. They need to walk, they need to train. A large dog will not get in a small apartment. If you decide to have a large dog you have to remember that you are responsible for it. If it is a decorative dog, it is necessary to comb, to feed. The dog brings in a man leadership qualities.
The third position in school Pets take fish and other creatures living in the water (turtles, snails, snakes). This is a good variantdlya apartment. Water world is famous for the fact that calms the nervous system. The only downside is that many fish are very capricious to water temperature and its salinity and then need to know which fish you put together, that even one was not a predator. Continue reading
Homemade reptile peaceful disposition
Until recently considered exotic, homemade turtles today are perceived as something ordinary. Their huge variety allows you to choose the most suitable option in terms of maintenance and care. Contrary to popular belief, the power of these reptiles are capable of experiencing emotions, to become attached to the host and to show ingenuity.
For keeping the apartment perfectly suitable for ordinary swamp, water slider turtle or the Central Asian land. For other varieties require special conditions to ensure it will be highly problematic and costly.
Bog turtle must be kept in an aquarium with water. Moreover, no neighborhood in the form of fish is not allowed because this reptile belongs to the category of predators and will eat just those foolish owner will offer her companions.
To feed the marsh turtle should animal food: flour worms, raw chicken or fish. Sometimes you can give boiled egg, cottage cheese and greens. The water should be warm, not below 25ºc and around the clock illuminated by the lamp. Wash the aquarium, which contains a reptile should, at least once a month.
The same applies for red-turtle, but it's mandatory in the aquarium is required to provide a plot of ground, protruding above the surface of water as it can breathe air. It refers to rekordsmenom Pets life expectancy, the duration of which is 40 years with proper care. Continue reading
Feeding the puppy boxer
Initially puppy, it is desirable to feed what he was eating at the breeder. Once the puppy is quite adaptable in a new home, you can gradually translate it to the diet the most appropriate for the new owner. Some owners feed mostly proprietary, specialized feed, other, more conservative, prefer to prepare food themselves. In practice, both options are quite reasonable.
When feeding dry food, be aware that some dogs are more suited for one feed and the other other, i.e. if a dog on any food allergies or diarrhea or just this product she doesn't like, it must be replaced by another brand of food. Buying dry food, always check its shelf life specified on the packaging. For baccarat best suited feed with a sufficiently high protein content (27%), because protein is the primary building material for the formation of lean muscle mass. Adult dogs feed a high protein feed is impractical, unless they suffer from thinness, not too much physical work and not be kept outside in the cold period. It should be remembered that the amount of food for each dog individually, and therefore the dosage indicated on the packages of dry food, only correct on average.
When kormleniye with natural feeds, we must remember that at least half of the diet should be protein foods – meat, fish, cheese, eggs.
The meat should be lean, better beef, but not necessarily tenderloin: wolves from eating their prey first, eat the groin and insides (except the intestines), and then everything else. Boxerjam, and adult boxers, because of the peculiar bite to break off a big piece of meat on a small uncomfortable, so better to cut it into small pieces. When feeding a puppy's internal organs, especially the liver , you have to be sure that there are no worms. In addition, the liver contains a lot of vitamins A and D, and their excess in the body is also harmful, as a drawback. Continue reading

|I had so much fun creating this mermaid party for my daughter's 5th birthday! Her only requests were that there be sea shells and chocolate cupcakes. Easy enough! But, of course, this party planning momma couldn't stop there! We started in the winter months and painted sea shells together. Such a fun thing to do on cold, dreary days. Made us day dream about Spring and her upcoming birthday. By the time it got here, we had enough sea shells to decorate the whole house! (And then some!) Found some adorable clip art on Etsy by Peach Pop to make signs and labels and there began our mermaid adventure!
The magic started as soon as guests got out of their car. We had a sea shell garden, a bubble machine, and fabric "waves" hanging to create an under-the-sea effect. It sure wasn't lost on these little ones!
Another view.
Hand made tulle pom pom "jellyfish"
|Loved these plates and found napkins that just happened to match. Hand painted the flower napkin rings, glittered, then hot glued a sea shells on each one.
|Sand filled centerpieces held sparkly shells, glitter, and a mermaid sign.
|Hand made mermaid crown awaited the birthday girl
|Hand made birthday bunting and fabric backdrop.
|Pink lemonade served in mini milk bottles and paper "bubble" straws by The Sugar Diva.
|Deep Sea cookies by A Cookie Jar on Etsy. As yummy as they are cute!

Sugimura Kaoru
A sullen, unattractive slacker who's a childhood friend, next-door neighbour and former rival of Nana, Kaoru has been nursing a crush on her for an unspecified time before the start of the story. He used to be on par with her without trying until middle school, when her hard work and dedication to a goal began to pay off, leaving him struggling to catch up. As a result, he stopped trying and resigned himself to watching and urging Nana on from afar. He discovered BDSM around the same time.
Most of the time, he can be found hanging with his buddies in 2-F. Usually discussing porn. Nicknamed "Creepy-mura" by the rest of the class.
- Adorkable
- Ascended Fanboy: Kaoru in Black Label. At first he only pretended to be Sarashina's characters during his breathers with Nana. In this, he ends up one of the characters in Sarashina's books, role-playing alongside and learning directly from said author at that.
- Badass Boast: In chapter 96/74 (It Makes Sense in Context):Kaoru (to Hiroshi): They may have thrown out your porn, your pride, but I'll get it back for you.
- Beady-Eyed Loser
- Brilliant, but Lazy: He has the ability, but little motivation after his rival left him so thoroughly behind. In addition, if you get him onto a subject he is interested in (BDSM), he's downright erudite about it.
- Character Development: His grades begin improving, his health and stamina go through the roof and he shakily makes new friends and gains confidence throughout the course of the story.
- Chivalrous Pervert: He'll push Nana to the edges of her boundaries... but no further.
- Disappeared Dad: His dad died when he was very young and was raised by his mother.
- The Eeyore: Committed to the belief that he's unworthy of Nana, and resigned to his fate as an underachieving loser that'll be left behind once Nana graduates.
- Fanboy
- Gonk
- Grumpy Bear: He's not happy about being a romantic lead.
- Hair-Trigger Temper
- Insecure Love Interest: Because of a lot of tropes here, especially the two below... this applies to him. But not so much in Black Label.
- I Don't Want to Ruin Our Friendship: He is absolutely, soul-crushingly terrified of losing Nana, to the point that he completely misses out the increasingly obvious fact that Nana's in love with him.
- I Want My Beloved to Be Happy
- Jerkass: Unpleasant towards everyone, particularly towards his mother...
- Jerk with a Heart of Gold: ...but he does have a huge soft spot for Nana.
- Mr. Exposition: Particularly in matters of BDSM.
- Not So Harmless: He appears as a beady eyed gonk loser... but everyone forgets that up until his massive self esteem failure, he was Nana's scholarly rival. Nana, who is the top of her class and aiming for Toudai.
- The Student council president's sister has to pull the pres. aside and point out just what Nana's coded messages meant — he's not just a loser who is bothering Nana, he's Nana's boyfriend, although neither of them realize it.
- Oblivious to Love: Has no clue about Nana's feelings (Something that he does get better at, with time). To be fair, neither does she - of his or her own.
- Platonic Life-Partners: Sort of has this dynamic with Tachi.
- The Slacker
- Smarter Than You Look: A lot of people are surprised by his seemingly random bouts of intellect and drive. As mentioned in Sunstone, bondage is a smart person's game.
- Took a Level in Badass: By the midpoint of the series, his daily jogging has put him in very good shape — he is able to run several miles around town searching for Nana without breaking a sweat, while the all-round perfect Bishōnen student council president is left out of breath and near collapse.
- Tsundere: Type A (tsuntsun). Kaoru doesn't really associate with anyone else outside of his personal friends in class 2-F, Nana, Tachi and his mentors in Tachibana and Sarashina (eventually; the last four come over the course of the stories), isolates himself to some degree and is rather hostile for most of the day (even to his own mother). That said, Nana is the only subject/person that can pierce his apathy. He cares about her deeply, to the point that he is less and less of a Type A with each passing arc of the story.
- He can even act tsundere towards studying.
- Wholesome Crossdresser: Roped in to play the part of a short, ugly girl in the school play.
- You Are Better Than You Think You Are:
Chigusa Nana
Gorgeous, top student, athlete, hardworking vice-president of the student council - Nana is near the top of the heap in school. She drifted apart from her childhood friend Kaoru once she dedicated herself to becoming a lawyer (ironically, his encouragement provided the impetus). She doesn't have much of a life outside of school and studying, though, which is why she finds it difficult to relax and take a break.
Her headstrong and imperious personality meant that Kaoru was likely her only friend until high school (and being assigned to the student council), as she tended to scare people off.
- The Ace: She would be an ace, were it not for the fact that she excels in school only. Her studying doesn't leave much time for anything else. Later we see that she's closer to a Broken Ace, due to the pressure she feels from her mother and classmates.
- It could be argued that BDSM helps her stay sane by stepping out of all her expected roles.
- Attractiveness Isolation: She has a form of it, more or less due to be being something of an iron lady and having sacrificed basic skill for awesome training (details below)
- Beneath the Mask
- The B Grade: The catalyst for the "breathers;" at the start of the manga, Nana is so stressed by all of her responsibilities that she isn't scoring as high as she used to. After she has her first "breather," she scores even higher than she did before and makes her pursue more "breathers" with Kaoru.
- Brains and Bondage
- Break the Haughty: Many of the things Kaoru says during "breathers" go in this direction, especially the spanking session which she agrees to for causing Kaoru to have make up classes during winter break.
- Covert Pervert
- Daddy Issues
- First-Name Basis: With Tachi.
- Go-Getter Girl: Which is why she needs her 'breathers' to relax.
- Green-Eyed Monster: If one notices, any time that she, Tachi and Kaoru are together... she'll tend to get a little clingy to Kaoru. Since she's been having the "breathers" along with Tachi, she will get progressively more jealous about the whole session on a sub-conscious level. It's partly because her feelings for Karou also make her selfishly protective of his attention and praise. Yeah, she is completely clueless about this.
- Hair Decorations: A white ribbon tied in a big bow.
- Heterosexual Life-Partners: With Tachi
- Hello, Nurse!: Subverted. All the boys want her, but don't dare to approach because she's an Iron Lady.
- Iron Lady: She's really book smart and is part of the student council, though she commands authority regardless.
- Lethal Chef: She tries, but has no experience in cooking... anything. It leads to 'experimental' concoctions like egg sake with ginger, garlic, tomato and vinegar:Kaoru: Why is it red?
- Little Bit Beastly: Dog-themed in chapter 70.
- Meganekko
- Ms. Fanservice
- Not So Different: She has a number of similarities to Kaoru, Tachibana and Her own mother.
- Generation Xerox: Virtually identical to her mother, and she knows it - when we finally meet her father, it reminds her unpleasantly of all the apparent similarities between her parents, and the tense relationship she has with Kaoru.
- I Am Not My Mother: The fact that she has been turning out like her mother doesn't please Nana when she discovers it.
- Parental Abandonment: Her father is divorced and never mentioned and her mother's almost never home, leading to one or two issues.
- Platonic Life-Partners: As of Black Label, she has this dynamic with Tachibana.
- Sacrificed Basic Skill for Awesome Training: What starts the plot, in a way, is this trope at play. She studies to such a degree that she doesn't really know how to relax, unwind, and not be in a position to study. The cause of this is her aspirations in becoming a lawyer.
- Stepford Smiler: Type A - Nana has two very specific smiles, one for keeping up appearances and another that is genuine, which is rare. The reason for this is more complex than one would expect, but it boils down to stress from keeping up her masquerade for her classmates and from acting as go-between for her divorced parents as their relationship continues to fragment. The latter is what eventually guides the plot, and uncovers issues she has with her parents that she has kept to herself since the age of six.
- The Tease
- Tsundere: Type B (deredere). At the start of the manga, this is Nana. A compassionate, devoted individual to almost everyone around her. Save for Kaoru, whose initial hostile manner seem to toss her for a loop and bucks against her own headstrong personality (causing a Type A streak as a reaction). This changes over the course of the mangas - the more that Kaoru opens up to her through the "breathers", the more she (unknowingly, at first) gushes about him to others and grows concerned about his well being.
- "Well Done, Daughter!" Girl: Flashbacks reveal part of the reason she wants to be a lawyer; she wanted to emulate her father. Who later asks her which parent she loves more. Yeesh.
Kaoru's Mother
A nurse at a local hospital. While she disapproves of her son's interests and wants him to stop wasting money on porn and sex toys, she takes care of him like a mother would and pesters him to have better manners.
- Gonk: Kaoru takes after his mother, although this was toned down as the manga progressed.
- Parental Abandonment: Isn't nearly as bad as Nana's mother, but has to leave him alone a fair bit.
- Parents as People: She doesn't get her son's interests at all but she does take care of him and she approves of his friendship with Nana.
- Parents Walk In at the Worst Time: Walks in after Kaoru vomits out a drink Nana had made for him and staining her dress. His mother assumes it's blood and proceeds to slap the hell out of him for forcing himself onto Nana until Nana explains "she's at fault", then she just muses at the prospect that they had sex.
Yagami Hiroshi
The student council president and rival for Nana's affections.
- Bishōnen
- Break the Haughty: Happens to him after being top of his school in final exams, when his manipulative sister rats him out to his mother on a porn he was watching as a reward to himself, which ends up getting thrown away.
- Character Development: He realizes how much of an ass he was to Kaoru when Kaoru sympathizes with him on his fetishes.
- Covert Pervert: Dude's got a dickgirl fetish.
- Smug Snake
- Wrong Genre Savvy: Thinks Kaoru is a slacker fanboy who is just around Nana because he's her Childhood Friend. He is... but he's also a Jerk with a Heart of Gold and in the middle of a Childhood Friend Romance Upgrade with her.
Yagami KikukoSister of the student council president; she's quite perceptive and can tell almost instantly that Nana and Kaoru share a bond. She isn't above telling her brother what she knows either.
- Gold Digger: Of the familial variety; she uses her brother as a social climbing tool.
- The Man Behind the Man
- Manipulative Bitch / Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: Pushed her brother to become the top of the class and go to Tokyo U. in her stead, simply to use his connections to make friends with the upper class. On top of it all, she dug out his favorite porn video and 'accidentally' watched it with their mother.
- The Matchmaker
- Sempai/Kohai
- Smug Snake: She's not as bad as her brother, but she still tries to help him win Nana over, despite recognizing almost instantly there's something going on between them.
Doumoto and HoshinoKaoru's fellow friends in Class F - and fellow porn appreciators.
- Fat and Skinny: Hoshino and Doumoto, respectively.
- The Slacker
- Those Two Guys
Mitsuko TachibanaLustful and energetic owner of a porn shop. Acts as a mentor and introduction into the deeper world of BDSM for Nana and Kaoru. She's also the personal slave of Kaoru's favourite BDSM author, Sarashina-sensei.
- Brains and Bondage: She's a Tokyo University graduate with a Masters degree in Liberal Arts who also happens to run a porn and fetish gear shop.
- Cannot Spit It Out : In Black label, the closer that we look at Tachibana and Sarashina relationship... the more you begin to notice that Tachibana is hesitant about her affections for Sarashina, as much as Sarashina is a Insecure Love Interest. This is due to the fine line that they have as Slave and Master. It takes the presence of Nana to slowly chip away at this and blur that divide, which is ironic, as Tachibana did the same for Nana and Karou months ago.
- Cool Big Sis
- Genki Girl
- Meganekko
- Ms. Exposition: If Karou is not giving a lecture on BDSM matters, he's likely getting one from her. Which is a Chekhov's Gunman that doesn't get solved until Black Label.
- Ms. Fanservice: In Black Label she seems to spend every other chapter at least topless.
- Not So Different: Very similar to Nana in more than one way.
- Platonic Life-Partners: As of black label, with Nana
- Screw the Rules, I'm Beautiful!: Subverted: her assistant at the sex shop asks her to do some work for a change, but when Kaoru comes by to ask about rope she gets sidetracked, the assistant is seen thinking he doesn't mind because he has a crush on Mitsuko.
- Sexy Mentor: To Nana, of all people. She is also this to Karou.
- Where Does She Get All Those Wonderful Toys?: We quickly learn that she gets them from her shop.
Ryoko TachiA student athlete at a nearby girl's school, she first met Nana at a track meet; Nana beat her and she swore to defeat her next time. Through a series of coincidences, she discovered their breathers and demanded to be included in their next BDSM session, to determine whether it was as "healthy" as Nana claimed.
- Ambiguously Brown: Justified: She has a deep tan.
- Bifauxnen: At least 2 people are convinced she's male when she's first introduced, one of them being Kaoru who she's been running with several times before The Reveal.
- Bokukko
- Cute Little Fangs: During the "Dog Girl" bondage session, she puts some on among other things.
- Dog Girl: She's enthusiastic at playing one in chapter 70.
- First-Name Basis: With Nana.
- Genki Girl: Very impulsive and full of energy.
- Heterosexual Life-Partners: Seems to be becoming this with Nana.
- Hidden Depths: At part of the reason why she insists on doing the breathers with Nana and Kaoru is because she wants friends, which she doesn't have many of at her school.
- I want my beloved friends to be happy: Notably, while she is Nana's athletic rival, she acknowledges that Kaoru's planet-sized feelings for Nana mean he won't even consider her as an option. If given the choice, she will step aside for Nana. She has also been actively encouraging Nana and Karou towards each other.
- Lonely at the Top: Tachi was able to join the Athletic Team as a freshman due to her skill, but was resented by a whole lot of the club as a result. Since she can't make friends there and spends a lot of time there, she lacks friends.
- Matchmaker Crush: On Kaoru, but she tries her best to get them together and genuinely means it.
- Peek-a-Bangs: Sometimes.
- Platonic Life-Partners: With Kaoru.
- The Rival
- Unknown Rival: When she first talks about their rivalry, Nana is a bit lost about it. After a few "breathers" and some one-on-one time with Kaoru while he is doing maintenance, Tachi seems to be vying for Kaoru's affections a bit... and knows that Nana doesn't have a clue about Kaoru's affections for her. Nor about Tachi's own for him.]]
- She Ties Up Nicely
- She's Got Legs: Seeing as Nana has both the breasts and the backside, the focus is instead on her legs.
- Secret Keeper: For Kaoru; she is the one person that seems to truly understand how devoted he is to Nana. For both, she is also one of the few that knows that they care for each other and are oblivious to it, and well as keeping the "breathers" hidden.
- Tan Lines
- The Tease/The Gadfly Yes, she is both. This is because Tachi is more of a gadfly but every so often she comes off as heavily suggestive when teasing. All non-sexual and usually at Karou's expense.
Nana's MotherA police chief, her job means that she is almost never home. Despite that, she played (and still plays) a large part in shaping Nana's life and psyche.
- Married to the Job: Fully dedicated to her job as police chief to the point that Nana must fend for herself.
- One-Note Cook
- Parental Abandonment: She very rarely comes to visit or take care of Nana on account of her job as police chief.
- She Who Must Not Be Seen: Only ever shown in silhouette in Nana's flashbacks. Until she finally came home.
- Stepford Smiler: She locked herself out emotionally to deal with the chaos of her marriage going up in flames. She wasn't good at it in front of her husband, whom she lashed out at regularly, but it was impressed upon Nana so strongly that she had picked it up as a way of coping with her stress before the "breathers" took over.
- Calling the Old Man Out: It takes Kaoru screaming down the phone at her to finally get her to come home and visit her bedridden daughter.
Nana's FatherDivorced from Nana's mother when she was six.
Nana to Kaoru: Black label Characters
Shuutarou SarashinaKaoru's favourite S&M author takes centre stage in the Black Label spin-off. It's his invitation to his summer home that kickstarts the story.
- Adorkable
- Cool Old Guy
- Early-Bird Cameo: Possibly on chapter 27 page 4, when Nana's freaking out before Kaoru spanks her the image on the left looks very similar to him.
- No Celebrities Were Harmed: He looks like Oniroku Dan, a Japanese SM writer.
- Not So Different: Sarashina and Karou seem to be cut from the same cloth. They share many of the same insecurities with their partners, the same worries and have the same considerations. Sarashina is more intense than Karou, which can be summed up to his long relationship with Tachibana but outside of that both are Insecure Love Interests for much of the same reasons. Tachibana refers to them as "Father and Son"...
- Old Master
- Write Who You Know: More or less. The plots and characters to his books are based in part on role-plays between himself and Tachibana. The session that Nana and Karou are taking part in is part of a scene to a new book of his.

Liverpool striker Daniel Sturridge is set to miss the Champions League group game at FC Basel after being absent from the flight to Switzerland on Tuesday.
Sturridge has missed the Reds' last five games with a thigh injury picked up on international duty but was due to be assessed by club medical staff ahead of the club's second group match.
However, the England international is in line to miss a sixth game in a row after being absent from a succession of photos from Liverpool's flight to Basel on Tuesday, taken by a host of current first team players.
Photos posted on Twitter and Instagram by Jose Enrique, Lazar Markovic and Brad Jones all omitted Sturridge and added to the belief the Liverpool striker has again failed to prove his fitness after nearly four weeks out of action.
Brendan Rodgers, the Liverpool manager, had been hopeful Sturridge could be recalled for the Merseyside derby against Everton but it now appears likely the 25-year-old's return could be delayed until after the international break.
"He wasn't really close for this [Everton] game," Rodgers said. "We needed to see if he could train on the Friday, but I got the message on the Thursday night that he would struggle, so he wasn't really close to playing.
"I'll see how he is [for Basel]. He wasn't far away for Everton, but he certainly wasn't fit enough to be on the bench."
In Sturridge's absence Liverpool have struggled in front of goal, scoring just six times in five games – in stark contrast to last term when they recorded a century of goals as the club finished second in the Premier League.
Mario Balotelli, Fabio Borini and Rickie Lambert have all mis-fired for Liverpool this season, with the trio having netted just once between them this term, and Rodgers has bemoaned the loss of Sturridge's pace.
"It helps to have that pace," he added. "Especially when you are 1-0 up and the opposition has to come on to you. That pace through the middle can help then.
"But Daniel is obviously a top talent, whatever part of the game he comes into. And he's not far away from being back playing.
"We want to score goals, but I believe that as the season goes on we will become better and better at that."

HONOLULU (Reuters) - President Barack Obama was briefed by his national security team on Saturday after four U.S. military service members were wounded when their aircraft were fired upon during a mission to evacuate American citizens from chaotic South Sudan.
"Any effort to seize power through the use of military force will result in the end of longstanding support from the United States and the international community," the White House said in a statement following Obama's call with National Security Adviser Susan Rice and other top aides.
The president, who is vacationing in Hawaii, directed his team to ensure the safety of U.S. military personnel, and to continue to work with the United Nations to evacuate American citizens from Bor, which is caught up in the spiraling conflict in South Sudan.
After the call, Obama "underscored that South Sudan's leaders have a responsibility to support our efforts to secure American personnel and citizens in Juba (South Sudan's capital) and Bor," the White House said.
The U.S. aircraft - three Osprey CV-22s - came under fire while approaching the evacuation site, the U.S. military's Africa Command said in a statement.
"The aircraft diverted to an airfield outside the country and aborted the mission," it added.
On Thursday, Obama said that South Sudan, which achieved independence in 2011 to become Africa's newest nation, "stands at the precipice."
Earlier in the week, Obama deployed 45 U.S. service members to the land-locked country "to support the security of U.S. personnel and our Embassy." (Reporting by Ros Krasny and Phil Stewart; additional reporting by Ikaika Hussey in Honolulu; Editing by Vicki Allen and Sandra Maler)
