Unpaid Internship? Some Colleges Pick Up the Tab
The plight of the unpaid intern is improving. Not because businesses are paying more for summer helpers, but because colleges are stepping in to pay when companies can't, or won't, compensate student hires.
Schools have long granted stipends for stints in nonprofits and the arts, where unpaid labor is common, but now they are paying the way for students to work at profit-making enterprises, including a New York money-management firm, a Washington, D.C., lobbying firm and even a General Motors Co. plant.
Colleges' job-placement rates have come under intense scrutiny as cost-conscious families, stung by rapidly rising tuition, want proof that universities can deliver on both academic and career fronts.
Paying the Way
Some ways that colleges subsidize unpaid internships:
Washington & Lee University
Wages and stipends vary; general stipends are $1,000-$3,000. Recent employers: Chefs Feed, a restaurant app; public relations firm Peppercom
Hamilton College
Average stipend is just under $2,400. Recent employers: Washington law and lobbying firm Williams & Jensen PLLC; Priority Capital Management
University of Richmond
Interns receive $2,400-$4,000 for up to 10 weeks of work; average stipend $3,700. Recent employers: Memorial Sloan-Kettering; Christie's
While career-services officers say they aren't thrilled to foot the bill, they need students to gain the skills and experience that will eventually get them hired.
The practice of "hiring" unpaid interns has come under renewed fire lately, with a federal judge's ruling last week that a movie studio's unpaid intern program violated labor laws.
University of Richmond has supported unpaid research and nonprofit work for years, but created more than 100 new fellowships this year for students with unpaid internships at for-profit enterprises. In all, the school awarded 300 fellowships, averaging $3,700 apiece. Employers ranged from a New York City hospital to Christie's auction house.
Funding for the awards came from alumni and other donations, as the development office spread word that students needed additional support for the internships.
Defiance College in Defiance, Ohio, is enticing local employers to hire its students by covering half of minimum-wage earnings for up to 10 hours a week, or about $38.50 a week under Ohio rates.
It listed 74 internship opportunities in the latest academic year, with employers including a veterinary clinic, a Biggby Coffee franchise and PSMI Corp., a firm that handles some staffing for General Motors.
The incentive is small, and some participating firms say they would hire the students regardless of the funds, but it does put Defiance students on employers' radars.
"$40 is $40," says Sue Strausbaugh, who runs the local Biggby.
Erin Rhodes, a Defiance marketing major, is spending her summer running quality-control reports on engine blocks produced at the local GM plant, earning $10 an hour.
Ms. Rhodes, who just completed her second year at Defiance, says the data-heavy project doesn't exactly fit with her major and career goals, but she is glad to have the line on her résumé.
According to Don Schooley, a PSMI program manager, GM picks the talent, but PSMI handles payroll.
A GM spokesman says the company was aware some of the workers' wages were being paid by Defiance College.
Hamilton College received 187 stipend applications this year, up from 116 last year, for unpaid positions in government, nonprofit and for-profit enterprises.
Students must secure internships on their own—with help from the career services office, if desired—and then apply for the aid. This year, the 66 awards averaged just under $2,400 apiece.
Ujjwal Pradhan, a rising Hamilton junior majoring in economics and mathematics, received a $4,800 stipend after securing an unpaid position at New York-based money manager Priority Capital Management LLC.
Mr. Pradhan spends his days analyzing corporate bonds and compiling research reports on potential investments. He says an analyst at the firm is serving as a mentor for the summer.
The 20-year-old Nepal native says he couldn't afford to work for free, but struggled to find a paying finance internship, since most Wall Street internship programs aimed at undergraduates target rising seniors.
Hamilton's career center introduced Mr. Pradhan to Jim Ely, the firm's chief executive and founder, and offered the stipend to cover rent, food and transportation.
"It is primarily an educational program," says Mr. Ely, noting that interns don't make investment decisions or deal directly with clients.
As long as companies aren't forced to pay the trainees, critics say, they probably won't.
It is "laudable" that schools want to help all students, not just affluent ones, get ahead in the job market, says Ross Perlin, author of Intern Nation. But funding unpaid jobs at for-profit employers, he says, "may actually be supporting an illegal internship, at an employer who can very much afford to pay."
The financial downturn increased the "sleaze factor" among employers, Philip Gardner, director of Michigan State University's Collegiate Employment Research Institute, wrote in a recent report on unpaid internships. Employers "offer work they need done, under the guise of internships, but without pay."
Federal laws mandate that unpaid internships meet certain criteria, including that the experience benefit the intern and the employer derives no "immediate advantage" from the intern's work.
On campus and off, the tide of opinion may be turning against unpaid work.
In addition to last week's ruling that Fox Searchlight Pictures violated labor laws by not paying two production interns working on the 2010 film "Black Swan," a former intern on Monday filed suit against Warner Music Group and Atlantic Records with similar allegations regarding his 2007-2008 unpaid internship, the Associated Press reported.
A Fox spokeswoman said the company is "disappointed" with the ruling and is seeking to have it reversed. Fox is owned by News Corp . , which also owns The Wall Street Journal.
Warner declined to comment on pending litigation.
Earlier this year, New York University students circulated a petition asking the career services office to stop posting ads for unpaid internships, calling such jobs "illegal" and "exploitative."
So far, however, schools seem unwilling to halt the practice. A recent survey from Michigan State University's Collegiate Employment Research Institute found that nearly 100% of schools welcome requests for unpaid labor from government and nonprofit agencies, and upward of 84% allow for-profit companies to do so.

Ah, Thanksgiving. A little turkey, some cranberry mold, maybe apple pie with ice cream, some football on TV. Getting together with the cousins. Catching up beside the fire. Togetherness.
On second thought: Scratch that. What were we thinking? This was an election year.
"The Thanksgiving table will be a battleground," says Andrew Marshall, 34, of Quincy, Mass.
Like many extended families across the country, Marshall's includes Democrats and Republicans, conservatives and liberals. And so, like many families that count both red and blue voters in their ranks, they're expecting fireworks. Things had already gotten so bad on Facebook, the family had to ban political banter.
"It was getting brutal," says Marshall.
And now, it will all play out in person. In this family, the older generation is more liberal, the younger more conservative. So Andrew, a Republican, particularly expects friction with his aunt, Anne Brennan, 57. "She firmly believes in what she believes in, and we'll go head to head with it," he says.
As for Brennan, she's looking on the bright side: the wine they'll drink. "You always bring a good bottle," she told Andrew at a family dinner a few days ago — perhaps softening him up for the holiday. No dice. "What are you talking about?" Andrew replied. "The wine just amplifies it."
But while the Marshalls seem to be relishing the occasion. Not so the Davidson family in Alabama.
In fact, things have gotten so tense over politics between Brian Davidson, a 40-year-old attorney in Helena, and his father, 130 miles away in Russellville, that they've changed plans, forgoing their usual gathering.
"We're not even going," says Brian, who voted for Barack Obama, and describes his father as "a little to the right of Glenn Beck." Better to skip this one, he says, than suffer "a non-recoverable blowup."
Davidson, a Boy Scout leader and the father of two school-age sons, once was firmly conservative. His parents — particularly Dad — always taught him and his brother to think for themselves, he says.
And so he did. He now considers himself a political moderate with liberal positions on issues like gay marriage and the legalization of marijuana — he supports both — and conservative positions on foreign and fiscal policies.
Each Thanksgiving, Davidson typically loads up his family and makes the 1 drive to his parents' house. This year, Davidson will take the kids to wife Kim's family instead, but even that could be tricky: They are conservative as well. So Brian and Kim will try to avoid any topics that could lead, they say, to "an Obama rant" around the table.
For some families, it's not necessarily the presidential race that divided them. The Cox family in Colorado has long been split over the legalization of marijuana — ever since Diane Cox first caught her son, David, trying to smoke the drug when he was 14.
David, now 31 and a peach farmer in Palisade, has volunteered for years on efforts to legalize marijuana. Diane, meanwhile, has spearheaded several successful protests to ban medical marijuana dispensaries in nearby towns.
Colorado's recent vote to legalize marijuana for recreational use again divided mother and son, who served as regional coordinator for the legalization campaign. Discussion of the vote is likely at Thanksgiving, but David Cox doesn't seem too worried. "I don't think awkward's the proper term. The proper term is more, dissentious," he says with a chuckle.
After all, Cox says, some things are more important than politics. "They can see that I'm a successful, hardworking person," he says of his parents, "so they have absolutely nothing to say because I'm doing fantastic and they know it."

Genealogical researchers seeking names of ancestors in the United Kingdom (UK) often rely upon the IGI as a place to begin their searches. Because the UK has a somewhat complicated system for reporting births, deaths and marriages—using counties, civil registration districts, ecclesiastical registration districts and towns—we often struggle with these unique classifications and spend far more time than we should formatting our search. This article briefly describes a website that will help, in a significant way, and deserves a few minutes of you time to learn about what it offers.
This website has been put together byfellow genealogist Hugh Wallis. It deals with expediting lookups on the IGI, based upon country/county/parish criteria, and uses only those records of Births, Christenings and Marriages EXTRACTED by the LDS Church. Mr. Wallis' work does not include patron-submitted records, because he feels these are fraught with errors.
Wallis's website has a great deal of information, instruction and research tips, and much can be learned by studying it. To use the search capability, you first select the country of interest from a list. Countries included are England, Scotland, Ireland, Wales, Channel Islands and a few special files. Next, the county within the country is selected; followed by the town from the list. Searching is very simple.
Within each town are a series of parish records (extractions), given either "C" or "M" designations (extraction batches). C designations are births and christenings, and M designations are marriages. A few "E" designations are included, which represents the "special" files.
Once a parish and particular batch number are selected, you may then enter a last name and search the batch for your particular name of interest. You may simply want to leave the "name" field blank, which opens the entire list. Parishes tend to be small geographical areas, with relatively few names, and searching the entire parish list is not that cumbersome or time consuming. In fact, by reviewing all the names within the list you may often find more names of interest.
The Hugh Wallis website is a worthwhile opportunity to expand and expedite your search efforts in the United Kingdom. Take a few minutes to look it over, and I believe you will be as pleased as I am over the information available. This website can be accessed at

In case you didn't catch "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" Wednesday, the fourth district's own U.S. Rep. Joe Kennedy III was on the ABC late-night TV show. Although he's become a new face of the Democratic Party, Kennedy spoke about one area where he and his colleagues don't see eye-to-eye: legalizing recreational marijuana.
Kimmel, among the variety of questions he peppered the congressman with, jokingly asked Kennedy, who has not embraced legalizing the drug like other lawmakers, "What's wrong with you?"
"I think part of the impact of when you're talking about the law is to make sure you get the border cases right," said Kennedy, who admitted he's well aware he's outside the norm in his party on the topic. "And I do have concerns about what an increase in availability of legal marijuana means for adolescents, what it means for folks who struggle with addiction."
Federal laws regarding marijuana - which still recognize the drug as illegal, no matter how many states legalize recreational use - are structured in a way that make them incomprehensible, and Attorney General Jeff Sessions and the Trump administration are making them worse, Kennedy said.
Earlier this year Sessions rolled back an Obama-era policy that had the federal government following a hands-off approach to marijuana industries in states that have legalized the drug.
Sessions instead opted to have federal prosecutors decide whether or not to take action.
"I acknowledge the fact that ... I'm an outlier on this," Kennedy told Kimmel. "It's just something we want to be careful and deliberate about."
Over the course of their 10-minute conversation, the two also touched on how Kennedy was asked to give the State of the Union response speech back in January, health care, and what life was like growing up inside the country's largest political family.
Kennedy, who is up for re-election this year, won a third term in 2016 on the same ballot where voters opted to legalize marijuana across the commonwealth.
His district spans from Milford to Brookline and as far south as Fall River.
Spilka's PATCH bill now law
State Sen. Karen Spilka, D-Ashland, recently had her "Act to Protect Access to Confidential Health Care," or PATCH bill, signed into law by Gov. Charlie Baker.
The measure requires the Division of Insurance to create a form for Massachusetts health insurance carriers to use that less specifically lists charges on patient bills to improve patient privacy.
It passed the Senate on Feb. 14 and became law March 30.
"Thank you to (state) Rep. Kate Hogan, (state) Sen. Jamie Eldridge, my colleagues in the Massachusetts State Senate and House and especially to all of the advocates for your work to ensure access to confidential health care," Spilka wrote in a Facebook post last week. "This is a critical step for patient privacy and in particular helps minors, young adults and victims of domestic abuse feel comfortable seeking health care services, without fear that their sensitive information will be shared with a family member."
In other news, the State House News Service reported Thursday that Spilka is set to take over the reins of the Senate presidency from state Sen. Harriette Chandler, D-Worcester, the week of July 23.
Markey keeps questions on Zuckerberg
U.S. Sen. Edward Markey, D-Massachusetts, continued his calls for Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg to explain how his company will handle its response to Cambridge Analytica's access to Facebook user data.
Last week, the social media company announced that the personal information of approximately 87 million users may have been shared.
"The tsunami of outrage incited by the Cambridge Analytica revelations has made one thing perfectly clear - the American people demand to regain control over their sensitive information. ...Mark Zuckerberg must explain what recourse will be provided to users who have already been subjected to abusive and intrusive invasions of their privacy and how Facebook's new policies will give the American public meaningful control over their sensitive information," Markey said in a statement.
Markey, along with Connecticut Democratic Sen. Richard Blumenthal, penned a letter to Zuckerberg last month that called on him to answer questions and testify before Congress about the issue.
Zuckerberg is now set to testify Wednesday.
Cambridge Analytica is a political consulting firm that had ties to President Donald Trump's 2016 campaign.

June 20, 2013
(AP) — Lil Wayne says he wasn't intentionally stepping on the American flag when shooting his latest video.
Video of the rapper from his music video shoot for the song "God Bless Amerika" hit the Web on Monday. In it, he appears to be stepping on top of the American flag. But he said in a Facebook post Tuesday the flag on the ground will not appear in the clip.
He writes it was never his intention "to desecrate the flag of the United States of America."
He says the flag will reveal a group of people behind him in the video.
The New Orleans-based rapper says in the statement his environment helped shape the way he views America and his song and video represent the people he grew up with.

YORK, PA – The York College Athletic Department celebrated its 2012-13 season with their annual awards ceremony on Friday night in the Waldner Performing Arts Center on the York College Campus.
The ceremony highlighted the standout performances of the season through video highlights of each season. The athletic department also handed out its annual awards.
The evening began with opening remarks from Assistant Dean of Athletics and Recreation Paul Saikia, followed by comments from Dean of Student Affairs Joe Merkle.
After the fall video review, the Spartans presented wrestling coach Tom Kessler with a framed photo as he is leaving the Spartan program after 21 years at the helm of the team. The athletic department also recognized retiring President, Dr. George W. Waldner, for his contributions to the athletic department over his tenure at York College.
The winter video was followed by the presentation of the academic awards. The William DeMeester Team GPA awards were announced first. The Capital Athletic Conference champion golf team, led by conference Coach-of-the-Year Matt Hunter, earned the men's award with a cumulative GPA of 3.26. The women's tennis team led by head coach Ryan Weber, finished with an impressive GPA of 3.55.
The individual William DeMeester GPA winners were equally as impressive. The award signifies the senior athletes with the highest cumulative GPA. Senior tennis player Megan McCullin (New Windsor, Md./Westminster Senior) captured the women's top honors. McCullin owns a perfect 4.0 GPA as a nursing major. The men's winner was men's soccer player Matt DeLong (Millville, Pa./Millville) as he boasts a 3.84 GPA. DeLong is a biology major at York.
After the spring video, the Spartans handed out their three major awards. The Georgia Heathcote Stallman Award, signifying the outstanding senior female athlete, was given to women's lacrosse All-American Kim Wayson (Harwood, Md./Southern). The Daniel Klinedinst Award, signifying the outstanding senior male athlete, was awarded to men's track & field standout Phil Cavaluchi (Port Carbon, Pa./Pottsville). The final award of the night, the Jake Jaquet Fighting Heart Award, was presented to senior men's lacrosse captain Ryan Cassidy (Austin, Texas/Westwood). The Jaquet Fighting Heart award is presented to the student-athlete that displays the best fighting heart. Cassidy helped lead the Spartans to their best record in school history.
Saikia closed out the ceremony by recognizing the senior student-athletes for their contributions to the Spartan programs over the course of their careers.

An atomic Iran is imminent ... mullahs may have bomb by June
Iran has been pursuing a determined clandestine path to obtain nuclear weapons. The National Council of Resistance of Iran just announced that Iran allocated $2.5 billion last year to obtain three nuclear warheads.
The NCRI, functions as the political arm of the People's Mujahedeen, itself a questionable group designated by the U.S. government as a terrorist organization. Still, the NCRI has had a history over the past few years of disclosing important elements of Iran's clandestine nuclear program.
Then, too, we have reports that A.Q. Kahn, the discredited father of Pakistan's nuclear weapons program, sold the mullahs the key final secrets to produce the weapons-ready metallized form of highly enriched uranium needed in a simple gun-type device, as well as the details for the mirrors and internal mechanisms needed to create the weapon's initial detonation.
Last week, the Islamic Republic of Iran announced the results of a successful test of a new, advanced missile, the Shahab-3, which flew 1,700 kilometers, fast and accurately.
The mullahs are buying time, negotiating with the Europeans. Is history repeating itself? The Japanese ambassadors in Washington, D.C., were negotiating with Secretary of State Cordell Hull on Dec. 6, 1941, even as the Japanese fleet was reading to launch planes against Pearl Harbor.
Now we hear the Europeans are considering conceding to the Iranian argument that under the terms of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty the mullahs have the right to enrich uranium, as long as they don't make bombs.
Recent history provides the relevant example here. In 1994, President Clinton and Secretary of State Madeline Albright entered into an "Agreed Framework" deal with North Korea under which the Clinton administration agreed to provide enough nuclear fuel to North Korea to build two power plants, with the stipulation that North Korea would halt its plutonium weapons program. Clinton even threw in a large quantity of economic aid as an incentive to keep North Korea on the straight and narrow.
What happened? Kim Jong Il built nuclear weapons and defied the world to do anything about it.
Now it's the mullahs chance to play the world for fools. President Bush has decided to allow the Europeans time to see if they can bring the mullahs into a negotiated settlement. Iran remains defiant, refusing to destroy the centrifuge farms they have built to enrich uranium to weapons grade, or the heavy-water plant they have constructed to produce weapons-grade plutonium. Sure, the Europeans have agreed to bring the case to the U.N. Security Council if they cannot produce an agreement. But how long will that take?
The administration – before President Bush and Secretary of State Rice went to Europe – had been prepared to take strong action against the mullahs right now, in March 2005. The decision to work with the Europeans, and void another pre-emptive war, has pushed back the timetable for decisive action.
But if the process stalls much beyond June 17, the mullahs may have won the gambit. If the mullahs can pull off the scheduled presidential election on June 17 without civil disobedience in the streets, the only other shoe that would have to drop is for them to announce that they do have the bomb. Then what is the world to do?
We cannot afford to discover that the mullahs have the bomb by waking up one morning to see a mushroom cloud over New York City or Tel Aviv. An atomic 9-11 is not the type of nightmare awakening the world can bear to experience. Finding out there were terrorists in our midst by seeing the second plane fly into the World Trade Center towers was bad enough.
The time when Iran will have a bomb is imminent … no matter how many times they swear their intentions are entirely peaceful.

On Farming, Food Security, and Favorite Sports Moments
Action Against Hunger friend and Advisory Council member Roger Thurow, senior fellow for Global Agriculture and Food Policy at The Chicago Council on Global Affairs, released his new book, The Last Hunger Season: A Year in an African Farm Community on the Brink of Change last month. It is an intimate portrait of the lives of four smallholder farmers in western Kenya as they work to move from subsistence farming to sustainable farming, from farming to live to farming to make a living. It is a narrative of struggle, resilience and, ultimately, success. Roger was in New York last night to discuss the book at an event, and Elisabeth Rapport recently had a chance to catch up with the author. Here, ten questions for Roger Thurow.
Elisabeth Rapport (ER): For two of your three decades at The Wall Street Journal, you were a foreign correspondent. Where and when did it first strike you that food security was a major issue, and that you'd want to devote a significant amount of your journalistic energy to shedding light on it?
Roger Thurow (RT): It was during the Ethiopian famine of 2003 when I realized this isn't a story I can just walk away from. An aid worker at the World Food Program told me on my first day in Addis Ababa: "Looking into the eyes of someone dying of hunger becomes a disease of the soul. You see that nobody should have to die of hunger." He was absolutely right. What I saw in those emergency feeding tents opened my eyes – and grabbed my soul – like nothing I had witnessed before as a journalist. I knew I couldn't simply move on to the next story. I had to stay and concentrate on this one: no one should be dying of hunger in the 21st century.
ER: Your last book, ENOUGH, tackled food insecurity at the institutional and policy level. The Last Hunger Season is markedly different, focusing on a year in the life of one group of farmers in western Kenya. How does the process of telling a "big" story compare to telling that of a comparatively specific, personal one?
RT: The "big picture" is always important, and requires a more sweeping, panoramic view. But within that larger story are many individual tales that demand a greater attention to detail. A premium is placed on listening and observation. A profound moment can be captured in the tone of a voice, the tilt of a head, the longing in the eyes. I prefer spending time in conversation rather than in research. There's humor, emotion, life in conversation. My time with the farmers in The Last Hunger Season was a supreme journalistic experience.
ER: Sometimes the small, quieter stories are the most powerful ones. Agree or disagree?
RT: Agree, absolutely. While the big picture stories can grab a reader's attention with bold, surprising facts and challenging scenarios, the smaller stories of individual struggle and triumph are what often move readers to action. Readers can relate to other individuals, try to imagine what their lives are like. Empathy, understanding, appreciation – outrage and inspiration! -- come through the individual stories. I prefer spending time in conversation rather than in research. There's humor, emotion, life in conversation. My time with the farmers in The Last Hunger Season was a supreme journalistic experience."
ER: A great majority of the smallholder farmers you describe in The Last Hunger Season are women. Why?
RT: Women are the majority of smallholder farmers in western Kenya and pretty much throughout Africa. One reason, I think, is that much of smallholder farming is subsistence farming, growing staple crops for food to get through the day, farming to survive. It is seen as another household chore, rather than an income-earning job. But what is interesting – what I observed in reporting the book – is that as the harvests grow, as surpluses bring in money, the men get more interested. They tend to focus on the cash crops. So larger harvests can elevate the woman's role in the household; they become more involved in discussions of how money is spent, they make the decisions on what crops to grow. Agricultural development can have a profound impact on empowering women in the rural areas.
"I prefer spending time in conversation rather than in research. There's humor, emotion, life in conversation. My time with the farmers in The Last Hunger Season was a supreme journalistic experience."
—Roger Thurow
ER: You describe the Kenyan farmers as living and working in something of a time warp. Describe that.
RT: I came up with that idea when reading Karen Blixen's description of her farm in the great book Out of Africa. Her words describing the farming methods of the smallholder Kenyan farmers were exactly the words I was using today. And she was writing in the 1930s. As I continued to observe the farmers, I noticed how far behind they are compared to farmers in the U.S. and other rich world countries. For instance, many of the Kenyan farmers are just now receiving reliable access to hybrid seeds that started to spread across the U.S. in the 1920s and 1930s. The farmers' tools – almost all of their work is done by hand -- haven't evolved much from the Iron Age. To travel from the American Midwest – I'm based in Chicago – to rural Kenya was like traveling in the way-back machine.
ER: We live in a world with more than enough food to feed everyone, but you contend that to feed the world's growing population, we must nearly double the world's food production by 2050. Explain the disconnect.
RT: In the next several decades, the world's population is expected to increase by more than 2 billion. That's like adding another two Chinas to the planet. At the same time, that growing population will be growing more prosperous, changing eating habits and consumption patterns. Also, there is a growing demand for biofuels, putting food into gas tanks. So the strains on the global food supply will increase. And there's this: we'll see much of the population increase in the developing world, in countries already struggling to feed themselves. So food production in those places will need to experience a quantum leap. That's why it is so crucial to reverse the neglect of agricultural development – which was a main theme of the first book, Enough.
ER: There are always skeptics who doubt that food insecurity in a place like Kenya can produce lasting, negative effects here in the United States. What would you say to them?
RT: I would point out the looming strains on the global food supply. Shortages increase prices around the globe – including in the U.S. And food insecurity leads to social instability; we've seen food shortages and rising prices trigger violence in many parts of the world in the past several years. Also, there's the lost opportunity that comes from food insecurity. Hundreds of millions of people are too poor to fully participate in economic activity. One example: as China moved from a country of great hunger to a country with a burgeoning middle class – and its agricultural transformation played a significant role in this shift – it has become a large customer of American farmers. A more prosperous, better-fed world means more trade and business opportunities for the United States.
ER: You worked at the Journal for 30 years, and now you're a Senior Fellow at The Chicago Council on Global Affairs. Who's coming with you to a desert island – a group of Journal foreign correspondents, or a group of policy wonks from the Council?
RT: Hah, a good question. Probably a combination, a few of each. The foreign correspondents would keep us entertained with great tales of adventure – and they would find the bar, if there is one, or create one if there isn't. And the policy wonks would figure out a way to get us back to the real world -- if we wanted to return!
ER: You've covered 10 Olympic Games in your career. Favorite sports moment?
RT: Barcelona, 1992. The women's 10,000 meter final. It was an epic battle between Ethiopia's Derartu Tulu and Elana Meyer of South Africa. It was South Africa's first Olympic Games in three decades, having returned to the international fold after the release of Nelson Mandela in 1990 and the lifting of sports sanctions. I had been based in South Africa with The Wall Street Journal; I had witnessed the last-gasp brutal years of apartheid and Mandela's release from prison. Now here, in Barcelona, was a glimpse of a new Africa: black and white battling on the track, lap after lap. Mandela was in the stands; I was sitting trackside with a group of South African journalists. Tulu surged ahead of Meyer in the final meters to win the gold, but the South Africans were nevertheless ecstatic. The lap of honor, with the women embracing and joining hands and draped in their national flags, symbolized the post-apartheid possibilities. Tears filled my eyes. They are back now as I write this.
ER: I'll give you the last word on your book, but since we live in a digital age, you'll need to keep it tweet-worthy. Tell me why, in 140 characters or less, folks should pick up The Last Hunger Season.
RT: Intimate narrative storytelling, empowered women, resourceful moms, courageous African smallholder farmers. If they succeed so might we all.

TORONTO — At 87 years old, Herman Perl is glad to be back in business.
The founder and president of Perl's Fine Foods has begun manufacturing his products again for the first time since a fire destroyed his Bathurst Street store in 2006.
At his current factory on Densley Avenue, near Keele Street and Lawrence Avenue, Perl will manufacture and supply retailers with such Perl's favourites as salami, hot dogs, smoked turkey breast and drumsticks, as well as chicken and turkey deli slices.
Perl, a father of six, grandfather of 26 and great-grandfather of 20, said in an interview that for now, he won't produce the cooked foods that had become a staple at his store.
With 60 people working at Perl's before the fire, including 25 in the kitchen, the outlet, which opened on Bathurst just south of Lawrence in the early 1960s, had grown to become a community institution.
For Passover, for example, it sold about 5,500 pounds of gefilte fish and 4,700 pounds of chopped liver.
"We sold 50 gallons of chicken soup a day, five days a week, all year long," he said.
A Holocaust survivor from Romania, Perl was studying in Hungary when the war broke out and he was sent to Shachendorf concentration camp. He lost all his siblings and his step-mother in the Holocaust.
After the war, he went to Belgium, where he trained as a textile engineer.
"When I came to Toronto, my first job was [as] a textile engineer, and I made good money, about double what a weaver made, but my boss, a German Jew, said I had to work on Shabbat," Perl said.
"He tried to [compromise] by letting me work half a day, but I walked away."
Someone suggested that he open a butcher shop, "and even though I knew nothing about meat, I did. When one of my first customers wanted some middle chuck, I showed her a poster of a cow and asked her to point it out."
He opened his first store three weeks before Passover on Bloor Street in 1953, he said, and once, shortly after it opened, when he was too busy to deliver an order by car before yom tov, he walked with 75 pounds of meat from Bloor Street to Wilson Avenue.
The store became his life, he said.
"I would wake up at 4 a.m. and go to work, and sometimes I slept there. I learned everything on the job."
Customer service was first for him, Perl said.
"I helped a lot of poor people by giving them meat or giving them a discount. I saw one customer shoplifting, and I said nothing, because I knew she didn't have money to feed her family."
Two years ago, Perl was honoured by Premier Dalton McGuinty and the Canadian Society for Yad Vashem as one of a number of Holocaust survivors who have made contributions to their communities and Ontario.
Looking back, he said he thanks his former boss for letting him walk away.

As you can imagine the Girl Meets Dress team have been incredibly busy over the last month, it being awards season – dressing customers for their award evenings and work functions. Our press team were also busy as we recently became an official partner of the National Television Awards and were excited to attend the event this week. It's always fun to attend events as a team, and it was great to see both celebrities and audience members wearing our dresses. Kelly Hoppen was spotted wearing our Amanda Wakeley Scuba gown whilst Gemma Oaten from Emmerdale decided to pick our Gorgeous Couture Reagan dress.
As the awards show was at the huge O2 there were thousands of people. We had fantastic seats in front of the stage, behind the celebrities, and we tweeted on the Girl Meets Dress Twitter and Instagram accounts throughout the night. Dermot O'Leary was the host and was hilarious, he had the GMD team in fits of giggles. We loaned a dress to his stage hostess who won a competition through The Sun to present the awards to celebrities on stage, she wore the Carmen Marc Valvo Crepe Halter Gown and looked amazing!
The dress code on the tickets said black tie, but I spotted a few ladies in jeans and jumpers! Of course we raided the GMD rails before leaving the office and went sporting some of Girl Meets Dress's latest dresses, I wore the Eilsa Ryan Off the Shoulder Lace Dress whilst the PR team wore Amanda Wakeley and MSGM, and the customer services team wore Clover Canyon and Gorgeous Couture. Some audience members chose to wear full length ball gowns whilst others went for sequin party dresses, it was a wide mix which made the night full of people watching during the breaks!

About Bruce Brown
This is exactly like the Washington law to force all pharmacies to carry abortion pills. Yes I know, the science is settled, it is not an abortion pill. Many pharmacies received an exemption. It was not in their economic interest, they had no customers for the pill. They were allowed exemptions from the rule. Anyone with a religious excuse was denied.
These people shopped around to find someone to reject them.
Get over yourselves, find someone who wants you. It is not hard to do. I would personally like to do your wedding photographs. I will be thrilled with the results. You, maybe not so much. Quit looking for something to be offended by.
And one day the butcher's union decides they cannot sell beef for less than $15 per pound, regardless of cut or quality. A lot of sunk costs there. Who is going to continue to eat hamburger 6 days a week with a roast on Sunday?
I may buy filet mignon in the future, but I won't be buying anymore hamburger.
The first time I came up against something like this was the RICO law. We were all told that it was necessary to go after the Mafia. It could be used for a lot more, but they were only going to use it on the Mafia. They promised and crossed their hearts.
The first charge of RICO I saw was a Doctor that was defrauding Medicare.
It is a fairly common charge now for any business that the government wants to harass.
Never believe when supporters of a bill say "Yeah but we are only going after..."

Facts: The parties divorced after a 13 year marriage. As part of the equitable division of property, Wife was awarded a residence in Florida and was made solely responsible for the joint mortgage debt and other liabilities associated with the property. The trial court did not, however, require Wife to refinance the mortgage debt solely into her name. Husband appealed.
On Appeal: The Court of Appeals reversed the trial court.
Husband argued the trial court erred in failing to require Wife to release him from the mortgage on the Florida property within a reasonable amount of time.
Tennessee Code Annotated § 36-4-121(c)(4) requires the trial court to consider "the relative ability of each party for future acquisitions of capital assets" in its division and distribution of marital property.
The Court opined that the failure to make any provision for Husband's release from the debt encumbering the Florida property "may be contrary to Tennessee law," writing:
[P]ursuant to the Final Decree here, Husband remains indefinitely obligated to pay the outstanding debt and costs of collection if Wife defaults; further, the indefinite indebtedness impairs his ability to qualify for financing should he require a mortgage to obtain financing for housing or other needs in the future. Therefore, based upon the record before us, we have determined that a reasonable time frame should be established by which Wife is required to satisfy the indebtedness on the Florida property for which Husband is jointly and severally liable, either by selling the property and paying the entire indebtedness or by refinancing in a manner by which Husband shall be fully released from any liability on the indebtedness.
For the foregoing reasons, we remand with instructions for the trial court to determine a reasonable time by which Wife shall secure Husband's full release on the indebtedness encumbering the Florida property.
K.O.'s Comment: The Court's reasoning is consistent with its decision in Dobbs v. Dobbs.
Mobley v. Caffa-Mobley (Tennessee Court of Appeals, Middle Section, November 30, 2012).

An American in London: Whistler and the Thames
James McNeill Whistler occupies a pivotal position between cultures and artistic traditions of East and West. American-born, French-trained, and London-based, he was an artist with a truly cosmopolitan background. Born in Lowell, Massachusetts, in 1834, he grew up in the United States, England, and Russia. He studied briefly at the United States Military Academy at West Point, learned to etch at the US Coast and Geodetic Survey in Washington, D.C., and left to study art in Paris in 1855. Four years later he settled in London, where he hoped to attract patrons among the growing number of wealthy merchants and shipping magnates in that city. He worked along the docks, etching and painting the bridges, old and new, that spanned the river Thames. He depicted the workers and prostitutes, sailors and stevedores, the decaying wharves, the ferries and wherries, and clippers and cutters. Whistler documented the industrial and commercial center of the greatest port in Europe in all its dirty, crowded, bustling activity.
Living within sight of the river, Whistler recorded the changes wrought by industrialization: changing vistas, new landmarks, even the dense atmosphere of smog mingled with gaslight. Over the years his subject matter, techniques, and compositions evolved with his sites. He sought to convey the essence of the river—the lifeblood of the city—ebbing and flowing before his perceptive eyes and caught by his skillful brush. In the 1870s, after a period of self-imposed artistic re-education that included close study of Japanese woodblock prints, Whistler's style became more atmospheric, his colors more limited, and his point of view less descriptive. Along with a series of powerful, impressionistic oils and the nearly abstract Nocturnes, Whistler made sketches in pencil and chalk, watercolors with expressive brushwork and delicate coloring, richly textured lithographs and lithotints, and finely detailed etchings and drypoints that showed his masterly draftsmanship. In the Sackler Gallery's first international loan exhibition of art by Whistler, more than eighty works bring to vivid life the city, the Thames, and the people of Victorian London.

For the past few weeks I have been listening to Skrillex and I have to say I was hooked for a while there. Even though I enjoy listening to his music, I am really just uploading this next tutorial for all you fans out there that have asked me to make the logo for this techno genius. Here is how to draw Skrillex logo, step by step. There is literally nothing at all to this lesson; there are just some people that don't know how to go about tackling the symbol for Skrillex. There is another design concept that is floating around that he also uses, but this one in particular is what was asked of me. So sit back and enjoy drawing the Skrillex logo. I shall return with one more tutorial in a few. Peace out and enjoy!

Businesses closing, financial shortfall, high unemployment, etcIs there any thing positive? Yes! We have an abundance of "HOPE". It was the foundation for a presidential election and now "HOPE" is the motivation for American's during this financial recession. Is "HOPE" a bad thing? Absolutely not, "Hope" can lead to courage and inspire a soldier to fight when fear abounds. "HOPE" can lead to inspiration and push a discouraged student to study hard or complete school when frustration would suggest quitting. "HOPE" can lead to strength, encouraging a single mother not to give up on a delinquent child. These examples of HOPE, and I have many more, all show how HOPE can be an inspirational emotion.
I wanted to clarify one thing about HOPE that I do not want you to over look. HOPE is ONLY a tool. Read the positive examples I listed above again and notice that HOPE is present, but without the action of the people.HOPE would be just an empty thought.
I'm basing my HOPE on the people of Iowa and America. There are many things associated with the Great State of Iowa and the United States that make me proud; but the effort of its people during adverse times has to rank the highest. There is nothing an Iowan or an American cannot do.but during these trying times, there are many things that Iowan's and American's MUST DO. I think it is appropriate for all of us to pick up the tool of HOPE, convert it into action, dig America out of this hole and place it back on top of the mountain!

I hope is a happy ending for those three tristan married them both sofia and cerene
Love your works so much
As far as I know Miro likes Dick girls on 3dx. I can see they are on production. However, I can tell you there is a new audience who just found these amazing animations but not interested in Dick Girls. Any chance 2 stories separated for both public? Well, certainly, it is a lot of job and money but maybe it is worth it.
DLC 1 is futa, but DLC 2 is probably going to be non futa but im pretty sure that will be based on sales of DLC 1, if you go on other forums the mass majority want futa and it to be way less tame.
though i'd like to think DLC 2 will be a mix of both. BUT time will tell of course.
If. you go on other forums the mass majority want futa and it to be way less tame.
No. Just because some wierdos like you have that fetish doesn't mean it the majority wants it. In fact it disgusts a huge portion of the audience.
Hi Kyla. I don't know on other forums but i can see on this one (like recently MLM) that there is a group of people than we aren't enthusiatic with futa. Time will tell us more. I can 't wait for the production adapted to us.
2 stories, yes; for both audiences/public, no, the dlc(s) will be about dickgirls
yes, bloodlust was to generate an appeal to women but also as a test to the team behind it to practice their 1st work as a group, so the next thing to do in their list (dickgirl party mode) are now worthable to do in their hands
but hey, there will be bloodlust2 someday so no dickgirl stuff will be available in the future also
Best 3DX i ever seen!!!
Story and the girls so beautifull,but next time please dont make a dickgirl and add new girl next episode.
Threesome maybe
Superb video!! Great performane & quality. But, please, no Dick Girls. It is full up everywhere. It is so hard to find a good story with just girls.
Any chance you would add some extra variant scene (dickgirl x dickgirl) on some of your future project , either way i love what your making and keep up the good work 🙂
yes, DGirl on DGirl is def on the todo list 🙂
I just want to watch a video of the Duchess fingering her pussy, using a dildo in her pussy and squirting, i love her form
Oh and i love the entire story and cannot wait for more, current score from me 10/10, hope you consider my request 😀
This was decent but not nearly to the quality of GFF or its DLC's. The cumshots weren't as good either. The original GFF has the best cum animations I've ever seen. Even its add ons weren't QUITE as good, as, when it starts streaming out of Sayako's dick, it seems to start juuuuuust above the urethra, whereas in the OG GFF it was CLEARLY pumping from inside of her. I'd love to see some pre-cum and condom filling. If not with Cerene, hopefully with the next GFF installment. Cheers.
Condoms on toons? Are you serious? Toons are immune to diseases and pregnancy of real world.
Just sayin.
Anyway to get picture from dickgirl mini set 9 and 10 ? I'm missing these ones.
Got late on NewsLetter subscription @[email protected]'
Lucky for that vampire that guy has a big fat hard cock so hard to fi5 in the assignment and pushy
>he doesnt know vampire is getting a bigger cock than the guy and that the duchess is going to be punished with it harder than when the guy banged the vampire
i say lucky us for the w.i.p. pics and info at forum, lol
Nice story line, i like it
i like futa.i want and need futa,plz.
we all do, thats why bloodlust dlc with dickgirls is in production right now
check it out at forum if you dare ;D
Really enjoyed the trailer! Can't wait to get the hands on the full thing
hope you like it 🙂
Nice story line, keep it up. When is the next scene coming out?
DLC with a focus on dick girls is up next, no specific date just yet, but we want to make sure it's this year
you could make DLC like nice continue for story. Thanks to magick tristan cant move just watch as Futa Cerene has her way with Sophia. Or maybe Futa/Futa Male watch, Carene gave herself Big dick (like sayako with balls) and Sophia get same size like Tristan but without balls, Tristan have awesome view 1st class , as both girls enjoy each other. Sophie is shy at first (like in the end of movie) but in the end she will became a sex beast. Sophie even let Ceren do her in the ASS, so Tristan is so jelaous. See Tristan now we are even, you cheat on me with this sexy vampire and now i let that sexy/futa vampire took my anal virginity. And in the end after their are done both soaked with cum, they let him release cum on their faces and tities. And there shoul be vote, Threesome ( without dick girls 🙁 ) or Sophie brake with Tristan and live happily ever after with Futa vampire 😀
the idea is great, but the problem is if we keep Tristan, dick girls and dudes will mix, which I don't think will work
but we'll come up with two separate story lines that will make both camps happy 🙂
ok, and i'm glad you don't want mix Futa/Male ( i am not big fan futa fuck male) so i will be waiting for another futa masterpiece 🙂 DLC
Just downloaded the update and watched it,WOW,you guys did an amazing job right there!!!
Now Let the hype begin again, guy.
Bloodlust Cerene good beatiful !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
English sub titles are now included with the update 1.1
Any updates?
yes, the post that said scheduled for release tomorrow was changed to sheduled for release very soon
check back again in couple days
This is truly fantastic. Love the shaders, the character models the environments. The intro cinematic was really cool. There so much attention to detail everywhere!
Will the update show up as a new downloaded product, or will it just be renamed the original title? Or will it be a patch of some sort? Both of my subscribed email accounts are not receiving emails for notifications/updates etc. so I'm asking here. Checked the WIP forums also.
This was totally awesome, you all did an amazing job, the rendering was spot on and all characters looked amazing! The animation and special effects rocked! Miros cum shots rocked, you are the master of cum :D! I truely hope this is only the first of many chapters to this story as these three are so aweme and would be even more so togeter in a threesome or many other scenarios you could do. Again, you all ROCk and this was awesome!
Will this story have 2 different endings?
Bloody marvelous! Cunts and cocks shimmering with power, spunk flowing everywhere, I feel overwhelmed with the erotic beauty of it all! This is what porn should aspire to. I loved "Girlfriends 4ever", and this is a great one to follow on.
really enjoyed it when is the update coming out?
the update is scheduled to go up within around 24 hrs, more info to be posted above
24 hours, any updates?
As a matter of fact, the BloodLust Cerene trailer itself has open my sexual desire to really drive myself into such fantasy, in which the females are incredibly beautiful in both their seductive mindset and especially their luscious bodies (Vampire Cerene has the best looking body than soon-to-be-queen Sophia). Therefore, I kept watching the trailer multiple of times, wanting to purchase the item to view in different angles and be astonished with the beautiful 3D animation of erotics and hardcore.
Call me a pervert; it is just men testosterone and mindset…
Some countries can't pay because of the …… .like Iran.can you do anything about this fucking situation
Will this item be made available in the BMT Store?
Very good work.
Im diying to see whats next!
Its great i really like the fantasy setting and i hope it continues for a while longer at least a trilogy because you can do so much in this world. Hell maybe the first king's daughter is a vampire or if you want to add dick girls the vampires do use magic i would much rather see this world expand more than go back to G4E and i loved it & this is coming from some one who fav kink is futa stuff i just think this world has more to offer and has better potential but that's just my thoughts.Thanks for the great work i look forward to the update.
futa is whats the first DLC is going to consist of, pretty sure its going to Cerene and Sophia, im hoping that Cerene gives herself a dong then goes to town on Sophia.
Sounds good to me the end did setup a threesome but that can wait for another time, Crene going to town on Sophia sounds great that is why i prefer to stay in this world so much you can do with it.On a side note if we ever got the threesome then Crene needs to be titty fucked i understand why it was not in blood lust for story reasons but those tits need fucked.
really enjoyed it when is the update coming out?
thought i should mention if you didnt see already. Miro did just post on the forum that they are currently finishing the update/patch. so a day or two.
great release guys didn't even know you were working on something new, next level graphics for sure
the vampire scene is a little short but I see youre working on that
I really enjoyed bloodlust. The animation and the character design were impressive especially Cerene. I am also glad there were no dickgirls cause i am not a fan of this. Looking forward to the dlc.
Will there be a making of video where we would see what programs were use for this production?
we'll include the 'behind the scenes' video, have to say it doesn't show much of the process though, but if there's interest we can show more of it for the DLC
I'm sure there is interest, we were use to see your WIP video in the forums, and that would fit nicely with the 3DX artist resource series. Speaking of that the May article is not out yet… what is The Dude doing ? maybe to busy watching Bloodlust 😛
I greatly appreciate that Bloodlust was released yesterday! Minor glitches or not… you guys have amazing talent and products in your hands. You are all so great to your fans and customer service is always above and beyond expectation. I am now just as excite for the update as I was pumped for the original release all last week! Thank you!
Too short positions time. Looks like fast casual sex with 2 chicks. You need add female orgasms and squirt. That would be awesome and more excitingly. G4E – hot / BLC – not so hot 🙂
It made sense NOT to include them due to the story (no spoilers, especially now that there's that update due later this week, that guys like me called for).
How can I get your work film?
For mobile devices, VLC Player.
For PC, examples are 5K Player (best YouTube downloader as bonus), K Lite Mega Codec Pack (adds a lot more file play options to Windows Media Player and comes with Media Player Classic 32 bit and 64 bit versions) or the default Windows Media Player (Movies and TV is default player on Windows 10)
Well after you downloaded it, you just need a video player programm like VLC Media Player or Windows Media Player (they are free),
Alright, great release and what a pleasent surprise! A few questions:
-Why now interactive release like G4E? I've just found out about Bloodlust yesterday, was there a discussion?
-Scenes/Angles of 01:21 to 01:24 (all Cerene) seem to be missing in the release
Keep up the great work! There's no other 3DX artist/team, who is at this level.
actually we did get quite a few requests for it, so we're looking to bring back the software for the DLC
miro or marie, where we can expect the announce about the fixed version?
a new post or comment here?, at the main affect3d homepage?, or at the forum?
I'll be posting up details on this page later today, so we're all on the same page
Wow that was bad voice acting. Too bad it kinda ruined the action.
Kudos to the BL Cerene team. This was highly enjoyable and a great culmination of hard work. With that said, I have to agree with an observation a few others have commented on here, in that there seems to be something missing in the scenes with Cerene. The standing from behind/standing leg up scenes are over in a blink. Specifically the scene where Tristan turns into turbo man and is going full throttle on Cerene in the trailer has been cut entirely. Also at 20:14, Cerene's mouth is moving but there are no words to follow up. Not sure if these are genuine mistakes (things that were never considered to make the final cut), or parts of the story that had every intention of making the release are just missing.
Really hoping for some transparency from one of the creators on this matter, as it is rather noteworthy.
yes, you are right, the video edit got mixed up, we will be uploading a fixed version including the missing shot you describe asap, it will take a few days as our video editor is away and needs to look at this, sorry about the wait
Thanks for the quick clarification Miro! Already Im super excited for the 3some DLC 😀
Maybe I'm wrong but there is also seem to be a missing part when Tristan is flacid and Ceren goes down to suck him he is fully hard in an instant and also at the start of the blowjob her clothes are on then poof nude then at the cumshot she have clothes again. Also the oral cumshot is different than the one shown in the trailer (maybe it was only made tobe shown in the trailer)
Tristan's farewell to Sophia also seems to be missing.
Not complaining don't worry just want to make sure you fix it all in one shot ^^
him getting hard instantly was supposed to be a humorous way of showing how powerless he was to her sex appeal
the original idea was the prince is like "You can't seduce me" and the moment she touches him he's "dammit" hard in an instant, but it didn't quite come off as well as I had in my head…
the other items you mention will be fixed though
Yeah cerenes cloths during the blowjob is a continue error.
No worries on the wait and thanks for the reply back. I'm just glad the issue has been confirmed and a fix is in the works. Just want to say again I think you guys crushed it and I'll be looking forward to the updated release. Thanks again
The download ability has been awful.
it drops connections partially through the download. and the speed is very slow.
going on 6 hours since purchase, and still no complete download, so far I'd say this is the worst service from a website I've seen.
I've emailed support. the message back was basic… "too bad, wait"
really hope the content is worth it.
this issue must have been local as we use a CDN with world wide connections, if you are still having download issues contact service for an alternate link
– First things, first. This definitely needs an update already as the video needs optional subtitles (i.e. selectable with K Lite Mega codec pack) and NOT just in English as you can tell in the comments that this site definitely has a global audience. Examples would be English, Spanish, Russian, Japanese (Japanese respect authenticity and also would use it to learn English as I do when learning Japanese by watching JAVs), etc.
– Bloodlust was as I expected. Like Injustice as Girlfriends Forever (G4E) is to Mortal Kombat. Bloodlust has i.e. differentiation in environments.
– I'm like Reading Rainbow out here. It's straight as its very expected Western eroticism and sensibilities (sign here…and here…and here please) so I'm not surprised by the content. The story will appeal to more females which is needed for this site to grow.
"You don't have to take my word for it!". No spoilers from me.
– In the future I'll talk about the audio, (I can go deep and controversial about it) it's off in some parts, maybe the reason for it is that its part of the storytelling (again no spoilers).
– Like the Injustice comparison, this would have been a great opportunity to present and debut it in 60 fps. Understandable that it will be taxable on the end user i.e. those without a Intel Core i7, however then in that case, both a 60 fps and 30 fps (4K?) should have been included.
-Mostly everyone of the content hosting/creation side of this site was in on it and there was one in particular (the only thing about the movie that took me by surprise was the credits). He's not on Affect3D however his works are quite popular on Pixiv so with that said, D****** must be heavily involved in the future Girlfriends 4 Ever 2.
– Speaking of Girlfriends 4 Ever 2, this is a challenge. The initial release needs to be an hour. Long, strong, and hard like Sayako. The original was so groundbreaking that it had not one, but two expansions.
The voice actor of Tara has written an article about what she wants done to Sayako for example. That sl…woman has some ideas, as she herself said because she's Asian. Always wondered what happened to the original voice actor for Sayako.
Who knows, maybe it might be adapted into a JPN version ero 2D anime one day with Butcha U at the helm. G4E is very popular on JPN's DLSIte.
– Another classic. Shout outs to everyone involved.
thanks for the feedback, if the sub titles can be super imposed on the video than that's actually doable, will look into K Lite
Its simply known as soft subtitles. There's plenty of video tutorials online that show how to add them to your movie. One of the quickest ways is to add .srt files (for each language) however its more convenient on the end user to just include them all in the video file itself. The K Lite Mega codec (includes everything) allows the end user to select the subtitles during viewing.
Edit: Of course you can select soft subtitles in virtually any other player like VLC Player, 5K Player, etc.
I personally use K Lite Mega codec video player pack as it includes Media Player Classic. and is the most powerful when combined with Windows Media Player.
Can Miro add subtitles to the video?It's hard to me to understand what they said,because English isn't my mother language.
Agree! Or at least give the script with the dialogues. Many of us would appreciate being able to read what they are saying, deaf people, non-english people, etc. But well, no response since G4E XD
By the way, already seen Bloodlust Cerene. Nice! I hope all of you continue to improve for future works.
can't promise the sub titles but as script we can add, we'll arrange that
After paying and watching, I was very disappointed. No longer is G.4.Ever attractive as before. I feel wasted 23 minutes because it does not give me a little feeling. Sorry!
I have to agree on this. It was bland, repetitive, short scene, sounds were off.. I could go on. Basically this shit was trash Miro.. I'm just being an honest viewer, and I really enjoyed G4E too.
is it just my problem or are there scenes with cerene missing ,the scene standing with one leg up is over before it really starts,please help,that is my fav position.
yes, you are right, the video edit for the vampire scene got mixed up, we will be uploading a fixed version including the missing shot you describe, sorry about that, we'll get this fixed as soon as possible but it will be a few days
ok thanks ,thank you for your feedback Miro, i'm so glad, thats why i love your site and the entire Affect3D franchise so much,cause i'm feeling as a part of it
oh,the included scenes look stunning as allways,great work Miro and Team!!!!!
Still not get my coupon code.When can I get it?
It is noticed here, look in up of that page. Sry im my english is bad.
Coupon code: sunrise5
OK,sorry for that ,thx dude
Awesome quality work, however it feels like some of the movie, the "from behind" scenes with Cerene are missing? Definetly some angles in the trailer that arent in the full release.
i'm watching now yay!
download has timed out for me 3 times already…. would have hoped you guys were more prepared knowing what happened with your last release
Got it! Had to use my roommate's card and pay him back. Don't ever get an ADP card, they suck and their customer service "agents" are completely fucking useless.

Pantone Announces Fashion Color Report Spring 2014
Designers take a modern twist on the traditional to create a colorful equilibrium.
CARLSTADT, N.J., Sept. 4, 2013 – Pantone LLC, an X-Rite company and the global authority on color and provider of professional color standards for the design industries, today unveiled the PANTONE® Fashion Color Report Spring 2014, a comprehensive overview of designers' use of color in their upcoming collections. Released to coincide with New York Fashion Week, the PANTONE Fashion Color Report features the top 10 colors for women's and men's fashion for spring 2014, along with designer sketches, quotes and headshots. The report is available for free download at www.pantone.com/spring2014.
"This season, consumers are looking for a state of thoughtful, emotional and artistic equilibrium," said Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of the Pantone Color Institute®. "While this need for stability is reflected in the composition of the palette, the inherent versatility of the individual colors allows for experimentation with new looks and color combinations."
The top colors for women's fashion for spring 2014 are:
The top colors for men's fashion for spring 2014 are:
PANTONE 15-3920 Placid Blue
PANTONE 18-3718 Purple Haze
PANTONE 18-6216 Comfrey
PANTONE 16-0000 Paloma
PANTONE 15-1225 Sand
PANTONE 14-0852 Freesia
PANTONE 18-1651 Cayenne
PANTONE 17-1360 Celosia Orange
PANTONE 19-2428 Magenta Purple
PANTONE 18-3949 Dazzling Blue
Women's Color Palette
Designers take a modern twist on the traditional for spring 2014 by pairing soft pastels with vivid brights to create a colorful equilibrium. Inspired by a mixture of blooming flowers, travels abroad, and strong, confident women, designers use color to refresh, revive and defy conventional wisdom.
Three very adaptable pastels sit on one end of the palette, and, because we are so accustomed to seeing them as nature's background, they can be creatively combined with any other color in the spectrum. Placid Blue, like a picture-perfect, tranquil and reassuring sky, induces a sense of peaceful calmness, while Violet Tulip, a romantic, vintage purple, evokes wistful nostalgia. Similar to the verdant shade of springtime foliage, Hemlock, a summery, ornamental green, provides a decorative touch that's very different from the greens of recent seasons. Pair any of these versatile pastels with a bolder hue for an au courant look.
Sand, a lightly toasted and amiable neutral, conjures images of the beach and the carefree days of summer. Try pairing Sand with Hemlock for perfect, natural balance. Paloma serves as a quintessential neutral, interesting enough to be worn alone or combined with any color for sophisticated poise.
Cayenne, a high-pitched red, adds a dash of spicy heat to neutrals, and heightens the excitement when mixed with Freesia, a blazing yellow that is sure to illuminate wardrobes this season. A tropical, floral-inspired shade, Freesia's warmth and energy help set the stage for Celosia Orange, an optimistic, spontaneous hue. Pair Celosia Orange with Violet Tulip for a captivating vision, much like the setting summer sun.
The palette is brought full circle with Radiant Orchid, a bold counterpart to Violet Tulip, and Dazzling Blue, a scintillating, polar opposite to Placid Blue. Surprisingly, these strong, vibrant colors also pair well across the palette: They are perfect companions to pastels, and add confidence and vivacity when mixed with other bold colors.
Men's Color Palette
Light and airy Placid Blue is a perfect background color for spring, offering another alternative to the classic neutrals. Pair it with Comfrey, a more masculine take on the softer Hemlock green from the women's palette, to create a fresh, seasonally inspired look. For a modernized vintage feel, pair Purple Haze, a deeper, stronger version of Violet Tulip, with Paloma, a confident and adaptable gray.
Sand, a warm, agreeable neutral, can be coupled with more daring colors in the palette – making them less intimidating. Both Paloma and Sand are perfect complements to fiery Cayenne red, and help harness the powerful energy that intense Freesia yellow brings to the spectrum. Accessories, including shoes, in bold colors, like Cayenne, Freesia and Celosia Orange, are becoming more popular for men this season, adding a touch of gusto to neutral formal attire.
As the temperatures rise, we are also seeing a lot of vibrant patterning that combines bold and tropical colors in many sectors of menswear. Create a magnetic look by mixing Magenta Purple, a more robust version of Radiant Orchid, with the higher voltage colors in the palette, like Celosia Orange and Dazzling Blue. These three energetic yet versatile hues are sure to be a hit in spring 2014.
The colors featured in the PANTONE Fashion Color Report are culled from the PANTONE FASHION + HOME Color System, the most widely used and recognized color standards system in the world. Each season, Pantone surveys the designers of New York Fashion Week and beyond to collect feedback on prominent collection colors, color inspiration and color philosophy.

Well the last couple of months I have been mulling over what would be best for next year.
Given I am tired and can't think of anything highly creative/amusing it's just a plain ol delivery of facts:
1) Finish Bachelor of Commerce next year. Back to full time. Time to get organised again. If I don't buckle down and finish it I never will!
2) Race for an aussie team. In the end this meant trading up what gave me the best opportunities but in the end I decided to leave the Victorian Institute of Sport and race for Genesys Wealth Advisors
So 2011 brings continued gym, physio and pilates work, a whole load of Economics and Management study and a bunch of racing in Australia and Asia with a new team and a bunch of great guys. Can't wait.
