Omniversal-scale Annihilation, where not just our Universe, and not just The Multiverse, but the totality of The 'Verse/Series Franchise, containing all alternate dimensions, planes of existence, parallel universes, possible universes, timelines, alternate continuities, realities, and Multiverses get wiped out somehow. This can take on three forms, and though every form is pretty permanent, for largely theoretical reasons they actually range in "severity" a bit, thus:
Omniversal FUBAR: The Physical Destruction of everything, including all universes and anything that exists in the same manner as part of a universe. Examples of this might be the entire universe getting crushed into a singularity, and for whatever reason this destabilises the larger neighbourhood of universes or parallel realities, causing them to similarly end up crushed out of existence. Alternately, something might simply travel from universe to universe and devastate them one-at-a-time until all are destroyed with no remaining loose ends. Maybe some inevitable physical process simply leads all physically real things towards a final end state of chaos or void.
The "least" severe form: if some truly godlike thing was around (maybe a supernatural being, or just a Sufficiently Advanced Physical Godnote ), it could possibly Deus ex Machina everything back — perhaps by reversing entropy, or reformatting the structure of the multiverse to at least allow some manner of interesting story to take place once again. Alternatively, if absolute entropy is the fate of everything, then perhaps one day in a googolplex years, simple physical processes might eventually lead to something interesting happening purely at random.
Omniversal 404: The Metaphysical Annihilation of everything. It is not merely "the end of all things", because if this happens, nothing's there to start with. All cosmic data is irretrievably lost, and no viable backup or recoverable state exists for anything in the setting. The omniverse hasn't just been rendered into some unrecognisable state — there simply isn't a state of the physical omniverse now, and something that simply isn't there can't have a history. Examples might include the laws of physics themselves changing or being tweaked such that they do not allow the existence of things as we understand it, or perhaps it's already possible given the metaphysics of the setting for things to get so metaphysically deranged that that they cease to be real in any cognisable sense. In any case, the point is that the multiverse and everything associated with it haven't merely been destroyed — they don't exist in any meaningful state and never did.
This is less fixable, and would require, essentially, the intervention of an actual god or some other thing with control over the settings' metaphysics — a physics-based cosmic backup system built into the laws of the universe wouldn't cut it, as that might be affected as well. There would be nothing to recover at any rate, but perhaps a new reality could still be created from scratch: Omniverse v.n+1, if you like.
Original Negation: The Ontological Annihilation of everything. There's no coming back from this one. Even the Powers That Be or the One True God of the setting, the Omnipredicated note Ein Sof that has absolute control over everything and anything in the setting — even these things don't survive. Bluntly, all universes, every physical thing, the laws of physics themselves, whatever metaphysical realities there might be, and whoever or whatever is ultimately behind it all — all of it simply doesn't exist once this happens. Not only is it categorically impossible for anything in the setting to perdure this, but it's also modally impossible that anything about the setting could ever exist "again".
This form of the trope is necessarily metafictional, as it deconstructs the fictional nature of the setting. Basically, if the story itself pronounces that everything related to its setting or described in its content is absolutely null and utterly void, ipso facto this draws your attention to the story as a story because there's nothing left to suspend disbelief in. The creator may be declaring his or her intention to never revisit the setting, or they may be taking Refuge in Extreme Audacity in order to attack the reader's trust in narrative reliability. Any of these issues can be justified or lampshaded as needed. For example, David Foster Wallace's first novel, The Broom of the System, in which the main character suffers from existential dread that she may be a character in a work of fiction, plays this by cutting off in mid-sentence on the last page.
Fridge Logic/Fridge Brilliance/Fridge-whatever shows that Fanon can potentially claim that this is occurring offscreen when an author dies suddenly before finishing the series.
- In Dragon Ball Super, it's said by Beerus that Zen'o can pull it off as he is said to be powerful enough to destroy ALL 12 universes if he wants to in a second! It's good thing he's a Reasonable Authority Figure.
- Although this is actually downplayed, since there are multiple timelines, with even Zen'o having his own counterparts in these. Furthermore, Zen'o can only destroy the multiverse in his own native timeline (that being a Class X-5). But there was a strong possibility of a Class Z Omniversal FUBAR scenario happening if Goku didn't summon Future Zen'o in time, who then destroyed the multiverse in Future Trunks' timeline, which was at this point completely corrupted by an Eldritch Abomination form of Merged Zamasu who assimilated it into his own very being, destroying all life, and even threatening to spill into all timelines in existence by distorting the fabric of time and space, which could result in Zen'o of all timelines destroying their own respective multiverses in response. Even if that didn't happen, Merged Zamasu was still trying to white out all mortal life and would've wiped them out himself.
- Near the end of Futari wa Pretty Cure, the Dark King is purportedly destroying multiple planets in his spare time. His goal, as stated throughout the series, is the total destruction of all existence.
- Haruhi Suzumiya, The Omnipotent has the power to do this, and that's why the SOS Brigade is so desperate to keep her own powers secret from herself.
- El Hazard 2: This is the reason Kalia exists. According Yuba Yurias, once she assembles the Trigger of Destruction, she begins to wipe out all life, in all words until nothing remains. She then crosses over into the next nearest dimension and begins this process anew, and was to repeat this until all that remained was a void. Upon which, her final act would be to turn the "Trigger" on it/herself and perish.
- In The Noozles, this is threatened by the accelerated separation of the real world and Koalawallaland.
- In Soul Eater Death The Kid goes mad and decides at one point that the only way to create ultimate symmetry is to destroy all of existence. Luckily for everyone, Black*Star manages to pretty much (literally) beat some sense into him. He's back to normal now. Which is good because if Kid's choice is the "logical" extent of the Madness of Order, then presumably his ascension at the end of the series means he could now initiate this at will without outside interference. There's a reason he took the A God I Am Not option.
- In DC's Darkseid War, either Class Z2 (Omniversal 404) or Class Z3 (Omniversal Negation) is gonna happen to reality, courtesy of the Anti-Monitor, according to the Amazonian prophecy.
- In Grant Morrison's Doom Patrol, this is what will happen if the Decreator, let free by the Cult of the Unwritten Book, is able to proceed with unmaking the universe. "Nothing. Forever and ever."
- In Lucifer, the spin-off from The Sandman, all of Creation was nearly unmade when God left creation. Since His name is on everything in Heaven, Earth and everywhere else, and it holds it all together, everything started to slowly break down. It was averted when God left His job as supreme deity to his half-angel granddaughter. Chances are her universe the third at the time would have survived anyway, not being entangled with God's crappy handiwork.
- In Marvel's Secret Wars (2015), Class Z1 (Omniversal FUBAR), at least, is what things were going to, courtesy of the Beyonders destroying the Multiverse (assuming they might have gone suicidal if succeeded). But, thankfully, Doctor Doom blew them up.
- This is pretty much Parallax's plan in Zero Hour! — he plans to completely and utterly wipe out time/space just so he can recreate everything in his own image.
- This is actually the premise of The Infinite Loops; Yggdrassil, the magical World Tree supercomputer that underlines all of reality, suffered an unexplained systems crash that rendered eighty percent of the multiverse essentially defunct and forced the Admins to initiate the titular loops. It's very heavily implied that while things are getting better, more and more problems are cropping up as they go...
- In the Magical Girl Crisis Crossover Shattered Skies: The Morning Lights, This is the purpose of Dead End's Merry-Go-Round. Using the unending combined agony of the hundreds of captive magical girls grafted to it, it's supposed to harnesses intent (i.e., the captives' constant thoughts of "Make it stop!") to cause an Original Negation... in effect, making everything stop. Subverted when Joker says that's not what the Merry-Go-Round does, having intentionally spread misinformation about it to intimidate the troops and keep them in line. He says that what it really does is "far, far worse"... but this is Joker, so it's anyone's guess.
- This is the goal of Owlman in Justice League: Crisis on Two Earths, once he learns of the existence of the multiverse, providing the page quote. It is quite awesome, but ultimately foiled by Batman.
- In Dogma, if the Word of God is ever proven wrong, all of creation will cease to exist. This is Azrael's Evil Plan he gives Loki and Bartleby a newspaper telling of a church that, in celebration of its 100th anniversary, will absolve them of their sins when they pass through the doors. This absolving would end up contradicting God's mandate that Loki and Bartleby be banished from Heaven and never return. They do come damn close.
- This is the goal of the Warlock, and he comes damned close.
- Essentially, the Biblical Apocalypse in Archangel Protocol. Once Main/Satan is defeated, the universe will cease to exist.
- The Belgariad by David Eddings features a the End of All things scenario: If the Child of Dark were to win the battle with the Child of Light, the universe would cease to exist. However, in The Malloreon, it changed to the Cosmic Do-Over.
- City at the End of Time, by Greg Bear, has the end of ALL universes come about (semi?-)naturally, around about the year 100 trillion, at the hands of the strange, physics-warping Typhon. Even better, the destruction travels backwards in time and screws around with modern-day Seattle. The main cast still manage to escape the collapse of all worlds using Green Rocks! Better yet, putting all the rocks together reboots everything from the start, which it is implied they did. Eventually.
- One of the most powerful entities in the Cthulhu Mythos is Azathoth, a being that will end the universe when he wakes up. He won't have to actually do anything, waking up will be enough to destroy the entire omniverse.
- In the Keys to the Kingdom series by Garth Nix, if the House is destroyed by Nothing, reality will cease to exist (including all the Secondary Realms). This does end up happening, but it gets better, since Arthur is able to recreate the Realms from the Atlas.
- In the Hungarian novel Odakint Sötétebb ("It's Darker Outside") a Z3 is in progress, and all the weirdness in the world is caused by it. The cellofoids are attempting to save our universe by separating it from the multiverse, but ultimately fail. In the end it's softened to a "mere" Z2.
- All of Spider Robinson's time-travel stories are fueled by the premise that a genuine temporal paradox will result in the complete annihilation of space-time from beginning to end, not only destroying everything, but causing it never to have existed at all.
- This is what Moridin wants in The Wheel of Time he's a Death Seeker and nihilist who projects his suicidal tendencies on the universe at large and thinks it would be best to just end Eternal Recurrence by ending everything. Though the last book shows that his master, the Dark One has the power to do this but would probably never go through with it torturing the universe for eternity is just so much more fun.
- Glory's portal on Buffy the Vampire Slayer would have merged our dimension and all others. Considering the differences in physical laws between dimensions, this probably would have killed almost all beings in almost all of them. As it turns out, the protectors to the key of said portal were already aware of this and mitigated this threat by turning the key into a mortal girl (Buffy's sister, Dawn). As a result of the key being mortal, once said key died the portal would automatically close, reducing the possible damage done by the overlapping dimensions.
- Unsurprisingly, Doctor Who has a few examples of this extreme. It should be noted that Doctor Who has an example in every category for this trope, and that only Doctor Who ever produced examples which can even remotely qualify for above vanilla Class Z. If there's one thing these people know, it is how to kill a lot of people/planets/etc.
- In "Journey's End", Davros comes within a hair's breadth of using a device that cancels out all matter in the entire multiverse, save for himself and his group of Daleks.
- In "The End of Time", the Time Lords planned to win the Time War by creating a paradox so severe that it would destroy all creation, past, present, and future, while they became beings of pure thought.
- In "The Big Bang" it reaches Class Z-3 all realities never existed. Creation never existed. Nothing ever existed. The above statements ignore Earth and the Moon, for now, but in a couple of hours they will have never existed either. The Sun was destroyed too, since the big ball of fire that rises and sets every day was the TARDIS exploding. Note it's easy to miss that it's a Z-3 and not a Z-2, since its status is only confirmed in a single, blink and you miss it line of dialogue from a Cyberman in the previous episode. "All universes will be deleted."
- "The Wedding of River Song": The denial of a fixed point in history creates a temporal explosion threatening to collapse and kill all of reality, spreading outward from the point that was broken.
- Kamen Rider Decade: Tsukasa, AKA the eponymous Decade, is supposedly fated to destroy all the other Kamen Riders, which in turn will destroy all the Rider worlds. Much of the tension in the series is the question of whether Tsukasa is actually evil, or just kind of a dick.
- Actually happens in Food for the Gods. Satan leads an army of the damned into Heaven, and starts utterly laying waste to everything in sight. God responds by going completely insane with rage and obliterating all of creation.
- In The Book Of Job, the bet Lucifer makes with God has this as the winning stakes: God will destroy the universe and recreate without ignoring Lucifer's advice. Not only does Lucifer lose the bet, God explains to Gabriel that Lucifer was part of the universe, so that if he immediately recreated it as it was — minus, perhaps Lucifer — the terms would be fulfilled.
- Pro Pinball: Timeshock! has the player attempt to avert an anti-time shockwave that's capable of destroying all of reality.
- In Alterans Of Gateworld, they have, on multiple occasions, wiped out the entire multiverse causing an unknown system or entity to reset everything, except the characters, multiple times.
- In the Arkham Horror game, should you play against Azathoth and he awakens, his card clearly states the universe just ends entirely. Based on the literature that features him, the rest of the omniverse would go with it.
- This is Vecna's goal in the epic module Die Vecna Die. He threatens to consume all of reality and remake it in his own evil image.
- In Dungeons & Dragons this is the goal of Tharizdun, the Mad God of Destruction. He seeks to unmake reality and destroy everything, ending with himself.
- In Exalted, The Abyssal Exalted were created by the Neverborn with the express intent of throwing Creation into Oblivion, freeing the Neverborn from their fetters to existence by getting rid of existence.
- This is the fate of Creation if the Nobilis lose their Valde Bellum. Retroactively, no less.
- This is Rovagug's goal in Pathfinder. It's implied that Rovagug wants to die and the only way he can is by taking everyone else with him.
- This is also the explicitly stated goal of daemonkind. Daemons find every other form of life to be inherently abhorrent, and once every creature, living, undead, and ethereal, in every dimension has been slaughtered and destroyed, they will fight among themselves. When last daemon standing finishes their bloody business, they will commit suicide, finally ensuring nothing more will ever live.
- In Planescape, two factions had this goal, but neither seriously believes it can be accomplished in their lifetimes or even that of many descendants.
- The Doomguard believes omniversal destruction is imminent, and they try to prevent anyone from stopping it. Some try to hurry it along.
- The Believers of the Source believe in a concept like Nirvana, where every being (mortals and gods alike) are being tested. Pass the tests, you Ascend to a Higher Plane of Existence. Once everyone passes every test, the multiverse will end.
- This is the presumed goal of the Wyrm in Werewolf: The Apocalypse, although some speculate that Its goal is actually to make things as horrible as possible and keep it that way forever.
- In Bayonetta, Balder wants to instigate this in order to reunite the Trinity of Realities, which in turn, would destroy the current universe to do so.
- The Qualia in Chaos Rings does this if the heroes fail in the final battle.
- In Chrono Cross, the Time Devourer intends to consume every timeline, destroying everything in existence. It can only be stopped by the titular Chrono Cross, which temporarily merges the timelines and allows Serge to Ret Gone Lavos.
- This is the ultimate 'goal' of the Old One in Demon's Souls. The Old One is literally nothingness, and it slowly annihilates entire lands and eventually the world if not stopped.
- The fourth or fifth endings of Drakengard if not for the intervention of the heroes.
- Final Fantasy:
- In Final Fantasy VI, Kefka manages to succeed in a severe Class 1 destruction of the world, and when he learns to his disgust about people's hopes, love, and dreams, he decides that he'll "Destroy everything and create a monument to Non-existence."
- In Final Fantasy VIII Ultimecia plans to use a spell called time compression to compress all of space and time into a single point, which she would then absorb and become God with a capital G, or as she calls it All Existence Denied. You can even see stars being sucked into her final form as you fight it! Fortunately Squall and co. sabotage the process, leaving it half-complete and allowing them to reach Ultimecia's time period and kill her.
- In Final Fantasy IX, Kuja comes within a hairs breadth of pulling one of these off. He almost manages to destroy the crystal that holds the fabric of reality together. Luckily after he manages to beat the party to death, forcing them to fight and defeat a big blue thing who got trapped in that crystal all along and decided that since Kuja wanted to destroy everything, it was time to end the universe, he has a last minute HeelFace Turn, resurrects the party, and dies offscreen after Zidane has found him inside the now death-throeing Iifa Tree.
- In Dissidia the Cloud of Darkness and Exdeath had a talk about the differences in their plans to destroy existence. Exdeath himself may have rather ruled over everything but the Void has other plans.
- In Final Fantasy XIII-2, Big Bad Caius Ballad seeks to destroy all of time to free his charge, Yeul, from her curse of reincarnation. Unusually for this trope, he succeeds, and the third game is about fixing everything.
- In the game Ge Ne Sis, it's revealed that after too many dimensions are born, they are all destroyed at once, melting together into one. Gelyan plans to delay this by destroying all other dimensions.
- In I Miss the Sunrise, according to the Black One, the Big Bad's plan (compressing the universe into a single point of energy — essentially an artificial big crunch) will cause "the end of all things". It's not entirely clear how or why, though.
- The first Kingdom Hearts game has this, although it's not discussed often (likely due to the younger target audience). When the story starts, a seemingly endless horde of planet-devouring hellspawn is already well underway at tearing the multiverse apart at the seams. Traverse Town, a sort of base-camp for your character, is literally an interdimensional refugee camp for people who managed to survive their world's utter annihilation.
- In League of Legends Thresh's legendary skin, Dark Star Thresh, cares less for everlasting torment of individuals and more of bringing about a Class-Z annihilation of all existence. To put this into perspective, he's a major threat to Aurelion Sol, Bard, and The Void. And one of his voice lines implies he's already done a Class X-4 (Universal Scale, Physical Annihilation) to other realities before he's gotten to Runeterra's.
- In LEGO Dimensions, the Big Bad Lord Vortech plans to assimilate every single dimension into one.
- Live A Live. You are the one who can end everything by simply choosing the Armageddon option. It disintegrates everything, in every place, in every time period, all at once (even though just destroying the Prehistoric chapter should have been enough), so you know it's horrible.
- In Ratchet & Clank Future: A Crack In Time, this is implied to happen if someone tries to use The Great Clock for time travel. Nearly happens, too, thanks to Azimuth.
- Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne. True Demon Path. All universes in the entire omniverse are obliterated with no chance of recreation by the death of God's avatar at the hands of the demonically-powered Hito-Shura. Demons and fiends are all that's left. The Final Battle between Lucifer and God is now unavoidable...
- Shin Megami Tensei IV has The White wish for this Apocalypse, since they are sick and tired of Demons and Angels constantly at war. They want to push Flynn over the Moral Event Horizon and overload the Yamato Reactor to create a black hole that'll destroy the entire universe. And it is one of the possible endings. Yes, you caused all of existence to stop.
- Sonic the Hedgehog (2006) comes dangerously close to Solaris (the joining of Mephiles and Iblis) devouring all of time, past, present, and future and all of existence if Sonic, Shadow and Silver hadn't stopped him.
- In Sonic Generations, the Time Eater (controlled by current and past versions of Dr. Eggman/Robotnik) has the ability to erase time and space. The game starts during this process of time erasure, but because of the two Sonics, it never gets very far.
- Featured in the Bad Ending of Demon Path (when you win the final battle, that is) in Soul Nomad & the World Eaters. Devourlord Revya consumes Gig, kills all other gods and destroys all reality. Just because it was fun.
- Super Mario Bros.:
- In Super Paper Mario, this is Count Bleck's true plan. He's later backstabbed and replaced by Dimentio, who settles for a Class X-5 with the intent of reconstructing it in his own image. However, after Dimentio is defeated by the heroes, he resets it back to Class Z, since if he can't remake the world with his death, he might as well destroy all of existence with him.
- In Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle, the Megabug attempts to cause the destruction of every realm in existence including the Mario and Rabbids universes. It's the only thing taken seriously in the game.
- Tasty Planet: At the end of the game you eat the fabric of time and space.
- This is the Parliament's end goal in Awful Hospital. Let Crash explain it in greater detail:Crash: Imagine if you could "catch" an aggressive cancer as easily as your common colds. Got that? Good. Now imagine if you could catch it just as easily from your neighbors, a pineapple, a picnic table, or the sound of a trombone. That's what we're dealing with here — or at least, that's what the Parliament's shooting for. The Alpha Malady. The Omnivirus. And the Hospital is their petri dish.
- Goblins: Psion Minmax would, ideally, like to enact a Metaphysical Annihilation. He wants to negate things, not just from existence, but from history, so that they never existed at all. His reasoning is, existence is pain, so to end all pain, he must end all existence. He can't manage it on a universal scale, but he's figured out how to manipulate the laws of physics within the Maze of Many, a self-contained dungeon that runs on an artificial Stable Time Loop. He comes damn close, but ultimately fails because the main story's version of Kin, Minmax and Forgath disrupt his calculations.
- In Homestuck, messing around with the fourth wall is supposed to be even worse than Class Z, according to Karkat:CG: BUT SUFFICE TO SAY THERE ARE JUST SOME THINGS YOU DON'T WANT TO SCREW WITH.
- It's true from the author's end too.
- The ultimate objective of Lord English is the destruction of every single iteration of every single universe. Just his entrance into this region of reality required massive amounts of apocalyptic destruction, and when he did make an appearance rather than letting other people do his work for him, he destroyed an incalculable number of souls, started mass murdering the gods, and physically shattered reality. He's even killed the author.
- The threat of such an event is a major plot point in The Order of the Stick, in that breaking all of the Gates would presumably bring about the unraveling of the world, eventually.
- In The Book of Stories OCT, the worst outcome of the Book's Unwriting could be classified as Class X-5 or even Z, though it's not as much destroying as it is making everything nonexistent.
- The Quiet of The Fear Mythos is an Eldritch Abomination that slowly unmakes things, sometimes just old journals and books... and sometimes entire universes. It's been hinted that this has happened to hundreds (if not thousands) of other universes throughout time and that eventually the Quiet will absorb everything. It just happens to be doing it really slowly.Tav Lowe: The quiet claims us all.
- The SCP Foundation has a situation known as a ZK Reality Failure which acts as this. This falls in line considering the most prominent work that features the ZK Reality Failure.
- In Sonic for Hire, Sonic travels through time so he can save his own career, but while doing so, the time machine he uses gets stolen which leads to a series of events that kills him. However, Tails, Earthworm Jim, and Eggman travel through time separately, screwing up their shapes and messing with the fabric of space and time. Sonic then transforms and the group decide to try to fix everything by repeating their adventures. However, Knuckles joins in and that causes the group to have clones, which they have to kill. However, they were too late and the universe started falling apart pixel by pixel. There's a chance that this could've caused a Class Z destruction, as it looked like all reality and time was falling apart.
- Whateley Universe: The Star Stalker was created to destroy the multiverse in the case that the invading Eldritch Abominations couldn't be stopped by any other means. Tennyo, who is now bound to the Star Stalker, is horrified already at the Lady Avenger's previous actions, but — so far — is unaware of the true nature of the entity she's turning into.
- In The Flintstones, The Great Gazoo is sent to earth of the cavemen time as punishment for creating a device that could annihilate the entire universe and quite possibly everything else.
- Futurama: Professor Farnsworth makes doomsday devices as a hobby, including one that "destroys everything everywhere".
- In The Penguins of Madagascar, Kowalski invents a time-travel device. It malfunctions, and starts threatening to do this. In fact Skipper points out that a large number of Kowalski's inventions threaten to destroy them all.
- Done as a joke for an intro to The Simpsons, where Kang and Kodos create a wormhole that's powerful enough to even suck God into it, leaving nothing but a blank slate.Kodos: Smooth move, space-lax! You've destroyed the totality of existence!
- Attempted by Spider-Carnage in Spider-Man: The Animated Series. After losing Uncle Ben and Aunt May, then experiencing his world's version of The Clone Saga and having to face a 50/50 chance that he's not the real Peter Parker, he's possessed by the Carnage symbiote, this alternate universe Spider-Man sets a new standard for Ax-Crazy. He attempts to, in his own words, "Destroy all reality." His plan is basic: trigger a bomb similar to the Doctor Who example with Davros, above, unraveling the bonds that keep atoms together. It won't stop at destroying the Earth, or even the universe: With the help of a portal courtesy of the technology that created The Spot, the blast will be replicated across the entirety of the multiverse, ensuring that when Spider-Carnage dies all of creation dies with him.
- In Transformers, this is Unicron's ultimate goal. Given that his overall method is to eat the entire multiverse one planet at a time, it's taking him quite a while, but, impressively, he's already devoured about 22.5% of known universes that way.
- Turtles Forever takes this concept meta when the Shredder from the 2003 animated series inadvertently kicks off a Class Z. Having stumbled on The Multiverse, Shredder hypothesizes that if he can take out "Turtle Prime", that is the original universe that spawned the rest of the multiverse, he'll be unmatched and can have free reign to do as he pleases. This "Turtle Prime" turns out to be the 1984 comic book universe. While it is true that destroying the original turtles will also eliminate any TMNTs that forked off their existence, it will also destroy all of reality because if the original 1984 Turtles are erased from existence then the franchise cannot be given birth. And the Shredder doesn't even care if he'll be erased as well. Thankfully he is thwarted and Peter Laird and Kevin Eastman remain unimpeded in bringing Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles to store shelves.
- In the final season of Voltron: Legendary Defender, Haggar/Honerva's motive is to be together with Zarkon and Lotor by finding a reality where the two of them are alive, but doing so would instantly destroy other realities in the process. Although she managed to reach the world she desperately craved, both alternate versions of Lotor and Zarkon reject her after realizing she's their real Honerva, and in a rage decides to obliterate all other realities until the frabic of existence has been reduced to absolute nothingness.
- According to Solipsism, your mind is the only sure thing to exist. In Metaphysical Solipsism, everything else is just a part of your reality. When you die, all of reality is destroyed with you.

I bought my first home with Nick Segal twelve years ago and when I decided it was time to move on, Nick was the first person I called. This time I worked with both Nick and his partner Rick Ojeda. Working with them has been a pleasure from start to finish. First and foremost they are both great people, for whom honesty and integrity is the foundation of their business philosophy. Buying and selling homes is difficult enough without all of the cutthroat shenanigans that often go with it. I really appreciate Nick and Rick's clear, honest, simple but firm, no nonsense approach. They have been operating this way for so long that their reputation of integrity precedes them, which in my experience has been a real asset. Integrity is only one of their virtues. Both Nick and Rick are brilliant strategists and negotiators and their experience and knowledge of Los Angeles real estate and it's economic forces is superlative. They clearly love what they do, which is evident in their constant attention to detail and genuine commitment to making sure you get a home you love at the correct price with no hidden problems. Plus they are fun and interesting people to spend all of those hours looking around properties with. All in all, I can't recommend them more highly. Ten Stars!What touches me most...the principles of WHY you created PT were demonstrated ...CHEERS Nick Segal...
My wife and I relocated to Los Angeles knowing little about the city, its neighborhoods, or its wild real estate market. It wasn't long before we realized how lucky we were to have Rick as our guide. His knowledge of the area is remarkable, his business acumen is astounding, and his negotiating skills are nothing short of awesome. But even more impressive is his devotion and accessibility to his clients. I know we weren't the only ones on his roster, but he sure made us feel that way. He is one of those rare agents that cares more about the long-term happiness of his clients than he does about making a quick buck. I can't recommend him enough.
Thank you so much for your help during the past few weeks. You are the best team ever... diligent, smart, strategic, fun, even tempered and more. I always felt like I was your priority, and with many clients to take care of, that says a lot.
I wanted to take a few moments to tell you about my clients' experience working with Rick Ojeda. They were in the process of relocating to LA and were referred to Rick and Partners Trust by their new employer. While I was skeptical at first working with an agent I hadn't personally recommended to my clients, I quickly realized Rick's skills as a negotiator and that he was a consummate professional. He was able to lock in a 3 month purchase agreement allowing my clients to move in right away and rent their future home, all before they had even found a buyer for their home here in San Diego. Throughout the course of the transaction, Rick remained extremely cognizant of all the important deadlines ensuring my clients' earnest money was never put at risk and his assistant Sham Nooristani kept me apprised on any major milestones. What truly floored me, though, was that Rick helped my clients negotiate a $27,000 price reduction as well as a $11,500 credit from the sellers based on the condition of the home as determined by inspections Rick had recommended. Essentially he saved my clients nearly $40,000! Thank you Rick and Sham for taking such great care of my clients! The next time I have clients looking to relocate to LA I will be sure to refer them to your top tier real estate team!
Selling a home that you've loved and lived in for thirty years requires more than an agent's professional skills, no matter how highly honed. It requires, we think a very high level of empathy for all the feelings that selling a piece of your life involves. Both Rick and Nick possess that level of empathy to a unique degree. I think we will always be grateful to them.
If you want someone to tell you what you want to hear, Nick is not the right guy for you. Nick tells it like it is.
I just want to thank you for all of your hard work and efforts in selling my folks' house. My sister Maureen and I both appreciate all of your professionalism and expertise in guiding the sale through to completion. You made it a very smooth process and provided meaningful assistance in all aspects of bringing the sale to fruition. From the time of our first meeting in my folks' den to the close of escrow it was really a very quick and efficient process. I think we achieved our goals with the sale and hope that the new owners enjoy the house as much as our family did for over 50 years. So again many thanks for your excellent services and hard work in selling our family home.
Nick has represented me or my clients in well over one dozen transactions. In every instance he has delivered with a professional service marked by uncommon expertise of the market coupled with excellent communication.
People with greatness are always few and far between. The mastery that Nick Segal brings to his passion for real estate lives in that rarified space. We have done 20 plus successful real estate transactions with Nick, over a 15 year time frame, during every kind of market condition. We have always made money (lots of it) and enjoyed beautiful homes. Nick's taste...Nick's strategic acumen...Nick's negotiating skills...Nick's loyalty...Nick's elegance...Nick's integrity...Nick's authentic concern for all parties involved makes him Best In Class. Look no further. Engage Nick to make your real estate dreams come true.
Nick Segal is not just the consummate realtor, he is our consummate realtor. He brings us a vast array of expert knowledge along with his unique way of serving all with finesse and genuine caring.
Rick exceeded all of our expectations and made everyone else we were working with look less professional simply because of how wonderful he and his team was. We relocated from San Diego and told Rick we had 1 1/2 days to look at houses — he and his team lined up the houses in advance, talked through choices over the phone and through the internet, and we saw over 20 houses during that two days! We fell in love with one house that was slightly out of our range and had just come on the market — but Rick's reputation with the selling agent plus some creative thinking on all of our parts landed us with our dream house! And he kept working for us even after we thought the deal was done — he all of a sudden got the sellers to agree to credits we never imagined we would get! His team in the office (Sham) was always responsive and also tried to come up with creative ways to solve any issues that arose. I can't say enough good things about Rick — and thecapper was that whenever we met a fellow agent at a house viewing they always told us how great an agent we had — believe me, we know it! I hope you get a chance to work with him — he will NOT disappoint!
They were professional, accommodating, and knowledgable . I would use them again without a doubt, and recommend them without any reservation.
The whole team is extremely professional, friendly, knowledgable, responsive and committed, making sure all our needs were met. They were truly a pleasure to work with and they made what can be a very complicated and stressful process a whole lot easier. I have worked with many realtors before and now that I have found Rick and his amazing team, I will never use anyone else. Sham, his assistant, was especially meticulous regarding scheduling appointments with inspectors and other service professionals. She handled all the paperwork. She was always on top of everything. She always returned calls promptly and was an excellent resource for other services and vendors. She was truly incredible in all sense of the word. We highly recommend Rick and his team to anyone who desires a class act professional agency that gets the job done!
As a New Yorker, I relied heavily on Rick Ojeda and his team to assist me and my business partner living in Beijing with the purchase of our first California property. Rick's assistance was invaluable. I needed someone who knew what my needs were and who could communicate and coordinate effectively so I could make knowledgeable decisions. I initially engaged another agent, but after speaking with Rick, I knew he was an expert and had the pulse of the market where I was looking to buy. I decided to go with Rick and his team and I am grateful that I did. We had a rocky escrow with a variety of challenges. Rick kept us engaged, informed and calm. He got the deal done to our satisfaction. What is even more impressive is we trusted him to have our best interests in mind while also representing the seller. It takes a special agent/person to manage and honor both sides of a deal so that a win/win situation is created. Thank you Rick!
Like every pragmatic but still dreamy house hunter, we knew that having the best real estate agent is a must in order to be represented well in such a competitive market, specially in high end homes. Nick Segal and Rick Ojeda were the team. We got several referrals from close friends and people in the know, and Partners Trust was mentioned all the time. We just finalized the purchase of our dream home, and I could not emphasize the importance of Rick Ojeda's involvement in the success of our deal more. Every so often, stars line up to make one's life difficult, and in our case stars could not have been more perfect in making our transaction close to impossible. Rick was a champion in communicating with the seller's broker and creating a proper dialogue in resolving all the issues related to the site, house, our loan delays, and seller's personal timelines. My wife and I constantly talk about how much we owe our good fortune to finally own our dream home to Rick Ojeda, Nick Segal, and staff at Partners Trust.
Rick and his team did an exceptional job of selling my home. I have completed a number of real estate transactions in the past and this one was by far the easiest. Rick provided exceptional service. He immediately responded to all of my emails, texts and phone messages. Any item that arose was handled immediately and with the utmost of professionalism. I would not hesitate to recommend Rick to my friends and family. He is a class act!!

I commend the Ideas Man for making an effort. I think some of his ideas may work better in theory than in practice, but also think it is a low blow to resort to insulting him because you don't agree with him. Ideas Man, I like some of your ideas, but as I said on the other thread, there's more to it than the technology. There is the mass manufacturing of alternative energy and the politics that goes along with it.kdb wrote:I have always thought that our schools do a lousy job of teaching critical thinking and basic science knowledge. Thank you for confirming my suspicions.
Maybe somewhat true, but the economic reality will win out eventually. Then, they can use their patents to create a new monopoly. No matter what happens, big business will capitalize on whatever they can make money on. The best thing to do is just avoid the dependence.jcjm wrote:When new patents come out they buy them up, not to use but to keep off the market and protect their monopoly.

People in Perth and the south west may soon have the power to buy, sell or swap excess solar energy with anyone connected to the Western Power network, if trials commencing today prove successful for Perth company Power Ledger.
"We're all electricity consumers, and many of us are now electricity producers with roof-top solar panels," said Power Ledger Chair Jemma Green
"Power Ledger will enable producers and consumers to trade their energy directly –saving money, hassle and maximising the use of clean, green, solar energy."
Power Ledger is tapping into the massive disruption of energy markets happening all across the world, but particularly here in Perth. The dynamics of electricity production, distribution and trading are changing: Power Ledger will enable consumers to play a more direct role in these processes, and have more control over their electricity production and consumption than ever before.
"For many consumers, the decision to put solar panels on their roofs wasn't just about saving money or saving the environment; it was an investment decision. The ability to now sell their excess energy to other customers represents the return on their investment," she said.
"Just as Airbnb and Uber have up-ended the hospitality and transport markets, Power Ledger has the potential to change forever the way we buy and sell energy to power our homes," said Ms Green
Power Ledger uses blockchain-based technology to identify the ownership of energy as it is generated and then to manage multiple trading agreements between consumers who buy excess solar direct from the original owner/producer – all without the addition of market costs and commercial margins.
"The owners of excess energy can sell their surplus to their neighbours for less than the uniform tariff but more than they would get from selling it to their retailer," Green said. "Effectively, we're cutting out the middle-man to save consumers, and to maximise returns for producers."
"It's a win for the people who have been able to afford to invest in roof-top solar, but also a win for customers who haven't: they will be able to access clean, renewable energy at effectively a 'wholesale' rate. Everyone wins," said Ms Green.
"The benefits of distributed renewable energy will flow on to those who, at the moment, can least afford to participate; we think that's pretty special," she said.
Power Ledger has signed an agreement with National Lifestyle Villages to trial the technology at their Busselton site where there is a good mix of consumers with and without solar panels.
"National Lifestyle Villages is excited to work with Power Ledger in the trial of their energy trading software at our Busselton Lifestyle Village. NLV is proud of our commitment to the environment and to providing affordable and sustainable lifestyles for over 45's. Our Busselton Lifestyle Village is home to a very passionate, progressive, and environmentally aware community that is known for taking the initiative and being innovative in order to achieve positive environmental outcomes. The Power Ledger trial will help to demonstrate the value opportunity created through solar energy, and we look forward to better understanding how solar, battery storage, and smart energy technology can deliver positive outcomes for NLV, our clients, and the environment." Says Steve McGill, sustainability manager from National Lifestyle Villages.
The pilot project with Natonal Lifestyle Villages will help demonstrate the capability of the technology with plans for a second trial currently in development for a site in the Perth metropolitan area, scheduled for the first half of 2017.
Synergy and LandCorp are all supportively involved in discussions on the subsequent trial.

Time to buy a new sofa
I've been looking for a new sofa to match an existing IKEA sofa we have for the last month or so and this week I managed to get a bargain one from everyone's favourite market place, Gumtree. Turns out there's quite the cottage industry for Karlstad. Enough about that though, I wanted to draw your attention to IKEA's new adverts which popped up whilst I was making my sofa search.
Creative design agency Forsman & Bodenfors - also responsible for IKEA's graphical cookbook Homemade is Best - have created three new television commercials to advertise how versatile IKEA's sofas are. Each of the very different characters make it look like their lives around the single sofas proving that IKEA really can do furniture for everyone.

Well Pumps and Pressure Tanks
The standard utility-powered water delivery system consists of a submersible pump or a jet pump that delivers drinking water into a pressure tank. A pressure tank extends the time between pumping cycles by saving up some pressurized water for delivery later. This system usually solves any freezing problems by placing the pump deep inside the well, and the pressure tank indoors. The down side is that the pump must produce enough volume to keep up with any potential demand, or the pressure tank will be depleted and the pressure will drop dramatically.
How to Replace a Tank
Cost (0-5 scale): 3
Difficulty (0-5 scale): 3
Items Needed:
• Tank
• Pipe
• Glue or Solder
• Pipe cutter
• Various pipe fittings
Step One: Preparation & Old Tank Removal
Congratulations, very little time has passed by and you have successfully installed your new tank!

Genre: Contemporary, New Adult
Publication date: October 28th 2014
Goodreads | Amazon | Barnes & Nobles
Synopsis: Keyboardist Kyle Cross may look like a bad boy with his tattoos and piercings, but he's really the good guy who's always stuck fixing his band's problems and never gets the girl. His band is competing in a college Battle of the Bands, but when their bassist doesn't show, Kyle must track her down with the help of the person he least expects: his ex-girlfriend Alexis Monroe.
Kyle hasn't seen Alexis since she dumped him in high school, and she's dropped her preppy image for fiery red hair and a bold new attitude to match. With only hours before his band goes on stage, Kyle has to be a little bad if he wants to win both the Battle and the girl he's never gotten over. But when their old problems resurface, the good guy might just get his heart broken all over again.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Website | Facebook | Twitter
Elizabeth Briggs is a full-time geek who writes books for teens and adults. She plays the guitar, mentors at-risk teens, and volunteers with a dog rescue group. She lives in Los Angeles with her husband and a pack of small, fluffy dogs.
Interview with Elizabeth Briggs
Where did you get the idea for More Than Exes?
In More Than Music, which is about Kyle's friend, Maddie, and his brother, Jared, there's a part where Maddie thinks about how it must be difficult to be Jared's brother sometimes. That made me wonder about how Kyle sees his brother, and I quickly jotted down what would become the first chapter of More Than Exes. Right then I knew I had to tell Kyle's story, too. I also had many fans of More Than Music tell me they loved Kyle and wanted a book about him, so that sealed the deal!
Do you need to read More Than Music to read More Than Exes?
No, definitely not. More Than Exes is a novella set about a month before More Than Music and can be read as a standalone. There's nothing in it that would be confusing if you haven't read More Than Music – but if you have, it will also shed light on a few things in that book. You can read them in any order, even though More Than Exes is a prequel.
What is your favorite thing about More Than Exes?
There are so many things I love about this book – the fact that it takes place over a few hours, the sarcastic humor in it, and the love story of two high school sweethearts getting back together… but my absolute favorite part is the close sibling relationship between Kyle and Jared. I loved showing Jared from Kyle's point of view – Kyle views his brother very differently from how Maddie does in More Than Music, but still loves him and would do anything for him.
What was the hardest part about writing More Than Exes?
More Than Exes is the first book I've ever written from a guy's point of view, and that was a lot of fun but also challenging at times. I had to make sure that Kyle would be sympathetic to romance readers but also feel like a realistic 21 year old male. I don't think there are many romances told from only a male perspective, but I hope people will give this one a chance!
If you weren't a writer, what would you do?
A rock star, of course! I play the guitar, though I don't have time to practice as much as I'd like. I've always wanted to be in a famous rock band, but now I just write about them instead.
What's next in the Chasing the Dream series?
I'm currently working on More Than Comics, a novella about the drummer of the band, Hector, set at Comic-Con about a week after More Than Music ends. After that, I'll be writing books about Maddie's best friends, Julie and Carla, who both go on their own reality TV shows!
Alexis stood alone in front of the bar, watching the band on stage. Her leather jacket had been left in her car, and in her tight jeans and tiny, V-necked top, she radiated a cool, sexy confidence I found irresistible. She'd had that same confidence when we were younger, too, but now it had an edge, like she wasn't afraid to be herself. It made me want her even more.
I moved behind her, fitting myself against her back, and whispered her name in her ear. I didn't need to say anything else. She turned her head and met my eyes with a look of desire that matched my own. Her hand reached up to circle my neck, drawing my head down to hers, and I gave in to her siren call.
Our lips touched for the first time in three years. It was everything I remembered and more. Like waking from a long coma. A bright sunrise over a dark sky. The first hint of spring after a long winter. I was truly living again, in the way I normally only felt when I was on stage.
The kiss started slow, an awakening, an exploration, a forgiveness of our past mistakes. I teased at her mouth with my own, opening her wider, wanting more, wanting everything. Her lips were amazingly soft and sweet, like candy I'd tasted long ago and had finally rediscovered. I wrapped my arms around her hips, holding her flush against me. She groaned and dug her fingers into the back of my hair, pulling me even closer.
She turned in my arms to face me. "I guess this means you're giving me a second chance."
"I guess it does." I lowered my lips to hers again.
Our bodies fit together perfectly, like when we'd hugged except this time we didn't hold back. I slid my hands down to cup her butt, pressing her against the front of my jeans. Our kiss deepened, mouths hungry for each other, bodies desperate to be together again. We couldn't get close enough, couldn't get enough of each other. She clung to me like I was her savior, and I kissed her harder, flicking my tongue across hers, nibbling at her lower lip. Her fingers gripped the top of my jeans and tugged on them, like she wanted them gone. If she kept this up, I would rip her clothes off and take her right there on the bar counter.
This was all moving so fast, but I didn't care. This was exactly the kind of thing my brother did, and after being apart from Alexis for so long, I didn't want to go slow.
"Let's go to my car," she said, breathless. "The backseat…"
"My thoughts exactly."
We broke apart, and the rest of the club came into focus again. The crowd pressing around us in the dark. The clink of bottles behind the bar. The music blasting from the speakers. The lights illuminating the band on stage. I checked the time. About an hour before our set. No one would miss me if I slipped out for a few minutes.
I took Alexis's hand, the action so familiar I could almost believe we'd never broken up. She gave me a knowing smile and let me lead her through the club, weaving between other couples and head-banging fans. I couldn't get us out of there fast enough. My brain had shut off and my body had taken over, with only lust and primal urges controlling me now.
This might only last one night. I didn't care. I'd take one night with Alexis. As long as I reminded myself it was just sex and nothing more, I'd be fine. If Jared could do it, so could I.

Should You Shower in the Morning or Night?
We all do it, shower the night before so you can snag a few more minutes of sleep in the morning. But should we actually be dragging ourselves out of bed to hit the showers in the morning instead?
Read on to see which is better.
Pros of the morning shower
No need for a cup of joe. A morning shower helps increase circulation and blood flow more effectively than drinking those three cups of coffee.
A Morning shower relieves muscle tension. Sleep on your neck wrong last night? Jumping into a hot shower helps tight muscles loosen.
If you have oily skin and are prone to shine, you know your grease builds up while you snooze. A cold shower in the morning gives you a change to rinse off, and will naturally seal pores to protect against the dirt from the day.
Pros of the P.M Shower
It's relaxing after a long workday. In fact, a shower after a day at the office can help lower your blood pressure and reduce stress.
You will catch some Zzzs faster. A quick rinse off before bed in warm water is a great way to beat insomnia. Why you ask? It's soothing and it signals your body to start releasing melatonin.
It will keep your sheets clean. Even if you are OCD clean, dirt still collects on your body during the day. A p.m. rinse off means your sheets will stay in pristine shape.
So now that you have your facts, morning or a night shower?

HELLO and WELCOME to the new chronicles. Yea to blogger for creating some new template options. I'm really liking this new layout! The pictures and the colors are what I've been hoping to put together for a while now.
I know. It's been AGES! Admittedly, I haven't been as good about working out as I should be. I've also slipped on the primal/paleo eating. However, I'm now working on going back on track by putting myself on a three month challenge that starts on July 1st! Here are some goal I have set out for myself:
I'm getting that f--king pull-up! Strategy: I'm planning on coming in early to One World and getting some pull-up work done before the actual WOD. Also, I'm going to put my globo-gym membership to use by doing some machine work to build my upper body strength. I'm doing three days of specialized upper body work to get to my pull-up.
I'm focusing on improving the diet. Strategy: I'm keeping a food journal. Plus, for the next three months, I'm putting myself on a different food challenge. For July, the challenge is no fried food. For August, the challenge is no bread. I haven't decided what September's challenge is going to be (any suggestions?). In early October, I'm going to schedule my blood work to see if there is any difference in the numbers.
I'm eating in more! Yeah. You read that right. I'm putting a limit to eating out. Strategy: I just received my copy of The Primal Blueprint Cookbook. Inspired by the film Julie & Julia, I'm going to attempt recipes from the book. Depending on time, I'm hoping to do one to two recipes per week.
I'm hitting the ground running. Literally. I miss running and I want to get back to it. Strategy: I'm looking for a race to do sometime in the fall. Perhaps a 5k or a 10k. If you hear of something, let me know.
This is what I have so far. I'm sure there will be more goals and strategies to come. As soon as I sort them out, I'll let you know.
For now, can I just say that I'm LOVING Drop Dead Diva?! Gah! It's amazing how TV can sometimes imitate life. For now, enjoy this teaser.

Happy New Year, everybody!
This year's been pretty epic, and sometimes not the best, but for the most part it's been pretty decent. We've almost completed unpacking from our move in the summer. We've got a wonderful home, and plenty of room to stretch out & do our own things when we want to. We're both healthy (for the most part) and we both have paying jobs. We make our bills on time & still have enough leftover to do things we enjoy.
I'm pretty pleased with my life right now. As always, a few bits and pieces I'd like to adjust for the better, but those are slow and steady things that need to be worked out slowly, not shot from the hip.
I'm fine taking my time.

Tree health can have a dramatic impact on our landscapes. However, there are simple steps you can take to help limit the spread of plant diseases when you visit woodlands, parks and gardens.
Tree and plant diseases can live in mud and water.
After cycling through our green spaces, washing the mud from your bike between rides can help limit the spread of plant disease between places.
If you brush the mud and leaves from your boots between visits to different parks, gardens and woodlands you can limit the spread of plant diseases between different places.
By brushing the mud from your buggies and boots between woodland play sessions, you can limit the spread of tree disease.
Scientific research into the spread of plant pests and diseases
There have been scientific studies looking into how tree and plant pests and diseases are spread, and how we can help limit this spread.
In 2007, a Forest Research study analysed how frequently Phytophthoras could be found in mud and leaf material on the boots of walkers who had visited sites infected with Phytophthoras. Those in the survey sample had been known to have walked in sites infected with Phytophthoras. The results of the study found that 30% of the samples from walker's boots were contaminated with Phytophthoras. The source of the contamination was fragments of infected leaves, which had broken down and incorporated into the litter layer of the soil. This is of greater concern when considered with the fact that Phytophthora kernoviae (the Phytophthora pathogen that affects larch trees found in the SW of the UK) can survive in both air-exposed and litter-embedded infected leaves for more than a year.
In 2012, an Australian study looked into the effectiveness of vehicle washing and roadside sanitation treatment in limiting the spread of pests and diseases. The results strongly suggest that the possibility of Phytophthora. lateralis spread in soil or mud on footwear should not be disregarded. Boot cleaning, at the very least with water and a stiff-bristle brush, should be undertaken to help limit the spread of pests and diseases.
In 2005, a small study in New Zealand demonstrated the importance of cleaning boots after visiting a site known to have a Phytophthora infection. The study found that the Phytophthora remained infectious even after one year after being found in the soils. The authors recommended that contaminated soil should be removed from boots following a visit, and that the cleaning should be done in a secure location, so as not to infect any water courses. Such actions would, the authors noted, potentially prevent the spread of the Phytophthora to new locations. Given the longevity of Phytophthoras it is important that any contaminated material is not moved into a new site or area.

Rhiannon Brooker, 30, is on trial for allegedly falsely accusing her boyfriend of repeatedly raping and assaulting her -- the prosecution says she cried rape 11 times -- which caused him to be arrested, charged and held in custody for 30 days, according to this source. She purportedly used the allegations as "extenuating circumstances" in a failed attempt to dodge her exams, according to the prosecution. According to a news report: "After withdrawing her allegations Brooker confirmed they were false, and admitted that injuries seen by witnesses, including her friends and doctors, were self-inflicted, the court heard." Yet, she is still denying that she committed an act tending, and intended, to pervert the court of justice. It is not clear what her defense might be.
If the prosecution is correct, add this case to the list of outrageous reasons for rape claims that we've reported in the past few years:
▲The accuser's boyfriend took too long to buy cigarettes, so she falsely accused him of rape.
▲A woman's rape lie sent a man to prison for five years because she said she was bored.
▲A man refused to give a woman a beer, so she falsely accused him of rape.
▲Two women in Washington state claimed they were raped by ghosts. The specters only forced the women to have intercourse on weekends.
▲A girl falsely accused a man of rape for throwing a flower at her.
▲A woman modeled her false claim against a priest after a rape in a novel -- she admitted she identified with characters in novels featuring violent rape.
▲In various cases, women didn't want to pay cab fares, so they simply accused innocent cab drivers of rape.
▲A maid falsely accused her employer of rape because she didn't like her workload.
▲A woman caused three men to be interrogated for rapes they didn't commit because she wanted a day off from work.
▲And then there was the 18-year-year-old man who was hauled out of class, arrested, and jailed for a month -- a girl he had never even met randomly accused him of rape for no apparent reason.
And then there are the cases involving outrageous revenge rape lies over petty things; rape lies to get attention; rape lies told by serial false accusers who are permitted to continue to terrorize innocent men and boys because their crimes aren't taken seriously; and rape lies told to "explain" an illicit sexual encounter.
I could go on and on and on, but you get the picture.

Mindfulness 2.0
The art of positive thinking
Talks & guided meditations
April Mon 24th to May 22nd | 19:00 to 20:30 | with Gen Daö | KMC CPH
Apr 24 – Mindfulness 2.0 – The art of positive thinking
May 1 – Understanding negative habits of mind (delusions), and how to let them go
May 8 – Letting go of attachment & craving, through training in non-attachment
May 15 – Letting go of anger, through training in patient acceptance
May 22 – Letting go of confusion, through training in wisdom
These days the term mindfulness is becoming part of our popular culture. The word is generally used to describe the quality of non-judgemental self-awareness. In this series Gen Daö will explore how the Buddhist meditation tradition reveals an enhanced understanding of, and training in mindfulness. This training – which is suitable for everyone – has been practised for centuries and has proven its effectiveness in helping anyone develop and maintain a deep and genuine peace of mind, happiness & inner well being.
This special training involves combining non-judgemental self awareness with positive personal development. What we could call 'Mindfulness 2.0'. We learn how to identify, reduce and let go of unpeaceful, negative habits of mind. In their place we learn to connect to and cultivate our potential for peaceful, positive habits of mind through training in meditation & mindfulness.
In this series we will explore the three principal negative habits of mind (delusions) – attachment, anger & confusion / ignorance – which are the root source of all our unhappiness and inner problems. We will learn how we can gradually reduce their power and let them go. We will also learn how to cultivate positive, peaceful habits of mind – patience, non-attachment and wisdom. We will discover how developing and maintaining these three peaceful and positive minds is both an antidote to delusions, and a source of deep peace of mind, inner resilience and happiness. Through this training in improving our mindfulness, we will discover how we can all gradually increase our inner peace, happiness and well being day-by-day.
The classes are taught in clear, easy-to-understand English. Suitable for complete beginners and those with more experience of meditation & mindfulness. Each class is self contained. So, you can just drop in whenever you can, or attend the whole series if you wish. A Clip Card (see below) enables you to attend the whole series (or other classes) and save up to 25% on the class-by-class fee.

LOUISVILLE – Team Mitch released the following statement and background information on Alison Lundergan Grimes' injunction publicity stunt and her reckless attempt to sow racial division among Kentuckians with false information.
"Alison Grimes spent hundreds of thousand of dollars defaming Senator McConnell and his wife on television with an ad she knowingly aired after it was found to be false and is now attempting to stop the Republican Party of Kentucky from correcting the record. The only legal question that should be pending in court is the Grimes campaign's reckless attempt to sow racial division among Kentuckians with false information. Their overt targeting of minority voters with false and inflammatory claims in connection with an election must be stopped, and we are exploring all legal options available to do so," said Team Mitch spokeswoman Allison Moore.

Disseminating improved practices: Are volunteer farmer trainers effective?

Purpose: This paper assesses the effectiveness of volunteer farmer trainers in promoting adoption of agricultural technologies in western Kenya. Specifically, the purpose was to assess the type of information they disseminated, farmer trainers' characteristics desirable to farmer trainees, and how trainees evaluate farmer trainers. Design/methodology/approach: Data were collected through focused group and open discussions, and interviews with 44 farmer trainers (32% women) and 91 trainees (63% women). Effectiveness of training was assessed based on level of learner satisfaction and attributes pertaining to knowledge, skill, attitude and application of the learning on farms. Other topics examined included selection of farmer trainers, organization of training, type, how and to whom information is disseminated, and farmer trainers' constraints and opportunities. Findings: Farmer trainers played important roles such as mobilizing and training fellow farmers, hosting demonstration plots, bulking and distributing planting materials. They were, however, rated slightly lower in follow-ups and seed bulking. Farmer trainers disseminate on average two to four different types of technology. Crop-based technologies were disseminated more than livestock-based ones because of their simplicity. Technical backstopping from extension workers remains a challenge, which may compromise quality of information disseminated. The survey showed that the approach is sustainable, with farmer trainers continuing their work several years after project support had ended. Practical implications: The results from this study are of use to development programmes keen on using low-cost, community-based dissemination approaches. Recommendations are also given on selecting farmer trainers, organizing training, types of technologies to disseminate incentives, and sustainability. Originality/value: The added value lies in filling information gaps in the use and effectiveness of the farmer trainer approach in promoting technology dissemination.

- Wedding: April 2015
Hi Bees! My Fiance and I recently decided on a photographer, and he sent us a contract to check out before we put down a deposit. The contract includes (among other things) the total price, deposit amount, the final payment (and when it's due), and product package (word for word: "USB w/ edited images, 2nd photographer, engagement session"). For hours of coverage, it says "all-day coverage." When we met with him and interviewed him, he said he will show up and stay for as long as we want on the wedding day, as long as it's "within reason," which to him means no more than than 12 hours. I definitely don't need him for THAT long, so I was thinking 8-8.5 hours.
So, my questions are: (1) Should I ask him to specify in the contract a range of how many photos we'll receive? I have an e-mail that says we should get 400-500. Not sure if that e-mail is sufficient in a legal sense should anything happen (2) Should I have him change "all-day coverage" to "a minimum of 8 hours"? Or is that a normal thing to say in a photography contract?
Thanks in advance!
