When I first found out about the series nearly 4 years ago I had no idea Mio and Mayu are 15, I thought they were 10 or 12 at the least due to their appearance. I dont mean to insult but they looked a little fat in the game (especially Mio) compared to their art designs (1 2). What about you guys? How old did you guys thought they looked like when you first laid your eyes on Mio and Mayu in Akai Chou?

10 to 12??? Are you kidding me? I thought they were more like 18, maybe because I didn't expect a 15 year old girl to star in a game. (But, well, Japan, I should have guessed). Hell, some girls in my class look younger than them, and I'm 17.
Posted 21 February 2013 - 12:39 PM
Probably around 15, since they look around that age. They sound much younger though.
And then we have DCB... well.
i will jiggle into your soul

Posted 21 February 2013 - 08:06 PM
Meh. I always figured they were 15 (because it was mentioned in the game as far as I know < ) I don't think their old designs are 'fat' honestly...if that is fat, then wow... (I could also go into a rant on female figures in the media and portrayal etc and its effects on young girl eating disorders but I will not)
I always figured they were around the age they were. Maybe bias in KNOWING their age, but I don't think they look 10 or 12. By the same note, I don't really see them as 18 etc either.

I always figured that they looked 14-15. And about them being fat, I don't agree. I actually like the way they look, because they're not stick thin. (I could seriously rant about female designs in games all day.)

Fat? Not at all, though Mayu has wide hips.
i will jiggle into your soul
Posted 22 February 2013 - 06:27 AM
I'm pretty sure I saw something in the manual or on the back of the game or somewhere that listed them as 15 before I played. That probably coloured my perception, but I'd stil say it's pretty accurate. And they're not fat at all. Not at all...
Posted 22 February 2013 - 08:32 PM
I was never good in giving age to a person. The same happens to me when people ask what I am studying...while I've finished my studies years ago O_o. I already know that they were underage (18) before playing the game and considering my (in)ability in guessing a person age, I never cared about that .
Posted 23 February 2013 - 06:05 AM
clearly they look like as 15 y/o
i stay in Japan now and i have seen a lot of people
Posted 26 February 2013 - 10:55 PM
I've seen older people look younger than Mio and Mayu.
They seem to have 17 in the original version. And more than 20 years in the remake.
Posted 03 March 2013 - 10:06 AM
hmm when I first saw them... lol I didn't think of that. but if now would be the time for me to guess it, then I'd choose about 12 or 14. in the DCB, my guess would apparently be either 16-19 XD
Posted 03 March 2013 - 04:02 PM
then I'd choose about 12 or 14.
You see?! I'm not the only one who thought 12!

I always figured they were 15 to 17 years old.
Death begets life...
Posted 24 June 2013 - 01:11 AM
I always thought they were 17 - 18. =P
When I found out they were 15 i was a little surprised because they didn't look it to me.=P
Posted 24 June 2013 - 01:13 AM
Posted 24 June 2013 - 01:14 AM
I always thought they were teenagers. I've never thought that they were 10-12 since they look nothing like that. And no they don't look fat at all.
Posted 24 July 2013 - 06:43 PM
I have to agree that they have a bit "child roundness", especially Mio. I wouldn't say fat though.
However, their age was never a surprise to me, before I got to knew it I guessed about 14-15 years old so.
hi i used to be beni kthxbye
Posted 01 September 2013 - 03:54 PM
Back when the game first came out I had already read all I could about the game before getting it (like I always do with my games), so I already knew that they were 15. I guess they both look like what I'd consider a normal 15 year old girl to look like, like in-between a developed mature woman and an innocent child-like girl. Kind of like my little sister who is now also 15.
Posted 23 September 2013 - 02:31 PM
I thought they looked roughly around their actual age... I thought fourteen! o:

LG Spectrum 2 gets a small maintenance update
IntoMobile Dusan Belic Oct 1, 2013

Dusan Belic Oct 1, 2013 Read Source
Oct 1, 2013
Verizon will soon start rolling out a small OTA update for the LG Spectrum 2. The new software brings firmware version to VS93022A, while including just a few tweaks and app updates. Here's what's new:
- Google GMS has been upgraded to R5 version
- Single Sign On (SSO) engine has been updated to 3.1.14
- My Verizon Mobile has been updated to v10.0.0440
- VZ Navigator has been updated to v9.0.123
- Real Racing 2 has been updated to v.000770
- Verizon Daily Scoop v5.0.8. has been added
- Google security patches have been performed
- Verizon Remote Diagnostics (VRD) has been removed
- Backup Assistant Plus contacts have been enhanced
- Data Usage Notification' feature is now supported
- Volume can now be changed while using Visual Voice Mail
- Access and function Visual Voice Mail even when unsubscribed
- Use Visual Voice Mail without having to enter a PIN request
- Contact Backup no longer gets interrupted when making voice calls
Yeah, it's nothing too exciting, but worth updating, nonetheless. As soon as your Spectrum 2 informs you about the new firmware version, make sure to "push the button" and take it from there. Just make sure you have enough juice to get to the end of the process…

Industry News
"Our findings suggest that smoking parents who start using e-cigarettes may have done so out of a desire to quit smoking," said lead study author Emara Nabi-Burza, MS, of the MGHfC Division of General Academic Pediatrics and the Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) Tobacco Research and Treatment Center (TRTC).
The problem, added Nabi-Burza, is that some end up being dual users. "However, many of them end up becoming dual users of cigarettes and e-cigarettes, maintaining their addiction to nicotine and also exposing their children to e-cigarette aerosols, which contain hazardous substances."
The researcher said that the study pointed out that dual users were as likely as smokers-only to allow smoking in their homes, and more likely to allow vaping in both homes and car. She added that this may be due to a belief that e-cigarette aerosols contain fewer health hazards than cigarette smoke, and inaccurately stated that recent research does not support this.
Nabi-Burza's concern may be unfounded, as a peer-reviewed study released last Summer comparing e-liquid vapour to cigarette smoke, had indicated that exhaled e-liquid vapour product particles are actually liquid droplets that evaporate within seconds. In line with what previous air samples had suggested, this study had indicated that vaping probably has a minimal impact on indoor air quality.
The study titled "Characterization of the Spatial and Temporal Dispersion Differences between Exhaled e-cigarette mist and Cigarette Smoke," was published in the renowned journal Nicotine & Tobacco Research. For both e-cigarettes and regular cigarettes, the particle concentrations registered following each puff were in the same order of magnitude. However, for vaping products the particle concentration returned to background values within a few seconds, whilst for cigarettes it increased with successive puffs, only returning to background levels after 30-45 minutes.

BUELLTON, Calif. – The father-son owned California based brewery, Figueroa Mountain Brewing Co., has announced the seasonal return of their fruited IPA beer, Painted Cave. The beer is expected to hit Figueroa Mountain Brewing Co. taprooms on draft and to-go on April 16th, 2018 as well as retailers in the following weeks.
"My father and I love bringing back this IPA when the weather starts to warm up," says Co-Founder of Figueroa Mountain Brewing Co., Jaime Dietenhofer. "It has just the right combination of hop flavor and tropical fruit to make it a perfect Summer IPA."
Painted Cave IPA, inspired by the beautiful Chumash Painted Cave State Historic Park in Santa Barbara, is one of the most popular beers to come from the brewery. The hoppy beer is made with hops that carry hints of citrus and pine, balanced with guava puree, making it a perfect refreshment for the upcoming summer months.
Painted Cave IPA will be available at the following Figueroa taprooms: o Santa Barbara
- Los Olivios
- Buellton
- Westlake Village
- Arroyo Grande
About Figueroa Mountain Brewing Co.
Figueroa Mountain Brewing Co. was founded by father and son team, Jim and Jaime Dietenhofer, in 2010. With a passion for craft beer, they set out to pay homage to the beautiful Santa Ynez Valley with handcrafted beer and hand-drawn artwork depicting the local landscape on their labels.
Named after the mountain seen from their family home in Los Olivos, Figueroa Mountain Brewing Company opened in Buellton, California with only a handful of employees. In a short five years, the company has grown to become one of the fastest growing craft breweries in America and now has a staff of over 200 which they affectionately call the #FigFam.

(Pocket-lint) - VerveLife by Motorola was announced at Mobile World Congress 2016, offering a range of funky active accessories for your smartphone.
Officially unveiled on 14 June and hitting stores on 16 June, we got our hands on this new range of connected devices that want to add a little fun to your mobile life.
Firstly, let's talk about which bit of Motorola this is to clear up any confusion. This isn't coming from Lenovo, but from Binatone, who manufactures and sells the VerveLife family of products.
Secondly, all these devices share a common app called Hubble Connect for Verve Life. This will let you change the settings of your headphones or (in the future) remotely access your camera and other devices. It's available for both Android and iPhone. One of the features of this app, aside from controlling your devices, is being able to find their location on a map. If you left your headphones at the gym, you'll be able to see that, rather than rooting through the bottom of your bag, wondering what happened to them.
Here's a breakdown of what's on offer from VerveLife.
VerveLife VerveOnes+
There's been a buzz about this type of headphone recently, offering separate, wireless ear buds, for the ultimate in convenience. Designed to leave you free from wires, there's two versions of the VerveOnes: those with the + indicate that they have an IP57 protection rating, so they won't be damaged by rain or sweat. The regular Ones lack this rating, but are cheaper as a result.
The Ones come with three different sizes of tip for different fits and we found they were light enough to be comfortable and they also stayed securely in place during our initial tests. They give an indication when connected to your device and when synced with each other. Listening to a few tracks via the iPhone didn't highlight any sync problems, but we plan to review these headphones more thoroughly as soon as we can.
But the best part of the Ones is the charge case that they come with. This is used to charge the ear buds, but also keeps them nice and secure, with them clicking into place inside the case. This can be charged by Micro-USB, and give the Ones 12 hours of playback.
The Ones offer an ambient mode, so you can hear your surroundings as well as your music, ideal for those running in busy places. There are six different sound modes and you'll be able to make and take calls, with full support for Google and Siri voice controls.
First impressions are good, with no syncing problems and a comfortable fit.
The VerveLife VerveOnes+ will cost £229.99; the regular Ones are cheaper at £199.99.
VerveLife VerveLoop+
If you're after something a little more substantial for your sporty activities, then you might be interested in the VerveLife VerveLoop+. This is a wireless set of Bluetooth headphones, with the earbuds connected by a wire. This means there's something to hang around your neck if you want to take an earbud out, and they're a little more conventional than the Ones.
Again offering IP57 waterproofing, these are ideal headphones for running and come with four different tips and three different stabilisers which loop into the top of your ear for added support, to keep them nice and secure.
There's an inline remote, also housing the Micro-USB charging port and mic, again letting you take calls and use Siri and Google voice controls on the move. You'll get an impressive 9.5 hours of battery life from the Loop+.
The VerveLife VerveLoop+ costs £59.99.
VerveLife VerveRider+
Taking it up a step further is the VerveLife VerveRider+. These, again, come in two versions with the Rider+ offering IP57 proofing, which the regular Rider lacks.
The Rider offers a neckband style headphone, so you can wear them around your neck, with the buds connecting magnetically to the end of the neckband when not in use. There's a choice of three tips to get a good fit; the neckband is nice and comfortable and offers a range of music controls. The Rider is light too, so you'll barely notice you're wearing it.
The Rider also works with Siri and Google, and offers up to 12 hours of playback.
The VerveLife VerveRider+ will cost you £79.99; the VerveLife Rider is £59.99.
VerveLife VerveCam+
Joining the family in September will be the VerveCam+. This action camera is designed as a wearable social camera, with a wide 138 degree view and video capture at up to 2.5K, 30fps.
The camera itself isn't protected from the elements, but there's an IP68 rated case for it, so you'll be able to capture all the action no matter how wet you're getting, even up to 30m deep.
Prices start from £149.99.
VerveLife VerveRetrieve
Another product that will be joining the family in the future is the VerveRetrieve. We don't know much about this, but it's designed to help you keep track of your dog with a wireless GPS tracker.
All we know at the moment is that the collar isn't included, but if you're always losing your dog, this might help you track pooch down.

What can I expect? During your stay in the Love Bubble you and your loved one drink a cocoa drink made from raw cocoa beans from Quatemala. You will receive both prior to your stay and upon receipt explanation of the ceremony itself so that during the stay you can choose the right time to drink this love drink.

Which 2014 Nicolas Cage movie would you most like to see?
Yes, Ol' Meltyface, the man who will appear in any movie, has three flicks due (or already out, depending on where you live) this year. With so much Cage on offer, picking a favorite is tough--but we have to try.
Would it be the Chinese Cage, Outcast?
Or might it perhaps be the European Cage, Rage (aka Tokarev)?
Or will the big-budget American Cage, Left Behind, rule your desires?
Of course, the good news for us Meltees everywhere is that though we may each have our own favorite, we are united in our excitement at going to see all of them.

Introducing the 2012 SmartWool Athlete Ambassadors
SmartWool LLC recently announced the launch of its athlete-ambassador program. Fourteen ambassadors from across the United States were selected from more than 800 applicants in the company's inaugural ambassador program that launched in Fall 2011.
"We wanted to support people who are authentic in their sports, approachable by fans, and genuinely aligned with the SmartWool® brand and products through their daily lives, sport, and community; no matter where their adventures lead them,†explained Laura Sankey, director of marketing for SmartWool. "We like to think of this group as ordinary people who happen to do extraordinary things with their lives.â€
The SmartWool Athlete Ambassador Program:
Out of more than 800 submissions, sponsorship was granted to a wide range of athletes, from cyclists, runners, climbers to an Olympic mogul skier. SmartWool athlete-ambassadors will be more than athletes representing the brand; they will be field testers for SmartWool® products and storytellers. Sponsorship will last for one year.
The following athlete-ambassadors will represent the SmartWool® brand in 2012:
•Sarah Uhl – former pro-cyclist whose love for the outdoors began as soon as she could walk. She is still a cyclist- just more of a mountain biker now. Sarah has taken to the ultra endurance side of the sport and loves exploring the backcountry.
•Lorin Paley – a member of the US Telemark team, Outdoor Nation Ambassador and college student. To Lorin, the crux of mountain adventure is pushing boundaries in the outdoors and sharing the experience with the new friends she meets through storytelling.
•Patricia Poulin – an alpine climber who volunteered this past summer with Mount Rainier National Park's Adventure CAMP program, targeted to bring children and their parents closer to nature and all that the great outdoors has to offer. Her hope is to continue volunteering and dedicating her time towards engaging youth in our natural world, "after all... they are our future.â€
•Rudi Riet – a cyclist who sits as the chair of the Potomac Pedalers. Rudi believes in embracing the outdoors and the "mountain life" whenever & wherever possible… even in the middle of a metropolis.
•Eric Nguyen – a rock climber and cyclist by passion, math teacher by day. Eric helps run his school's Outdoor Program that offers whitewater paddling, rock climbing, weekend hiking trips in the White Mountains of New Hampshire as well as climbing trips to the local crags and rock gym. He works hard to encourage kids to participate, especially those who've had little experience in the outdoors.
•Bob White - a hunting & fishing artist/author who regularly contributes to Fly Rod & Reel, Ducks Unlimited, Gun Dog, and Hatches magazines. He and his wife host fly fishing and wing shooting trips to Alaska, Patagonia and the Bahamas.
•Carissa Klarich – primarily a cyclist and a former biking and hiking trip leader, she prefers to be outside and in the mountains where she can be found trail running, hiking, backpacking, floating, mountain biking, cyclocross-ing, traveling/exploring new places, gardening, walking the dogs, and even shoveling snow. She has even been known to dogsled in Greenland!
•Aimee Slepicka – a trail runner originally from Chicago who ended up packing her life into her car and driving to the Rocky Mountains three days after graduating college. Aimee's been in the mountains ever since, and hasn't wasted a moment. Hiking, biking, ice climbing, sea kayaking she "can't help but want to experience it all.â€
•Joe Ballent – a rock climber, triathlete, skier, and river guide who has had the supreme privilege of working with burn survivors and autistic students in youth wilderness programs. For his twenty-third birthday, he received a personal armed escort out of Madrid International Airport when his climbing gear was deemed a potential threat to Spanish national security. Joe is a writer by trade, a romantic by choice, a drummer in a band, and an outlaw in Europe.
•Heather McPhie – a 2010 Olympian as a member of the U.S. Freestyle Ski Team. Heather is found outdoors in the mountains all winter, chasing snow in the off season, jumping off the water ramp in the summer, and cross training through biking, hiking, and skate skiing in her 'free time'.
•Patrick McGlade – a 23-year-old ultramarathon runner who ran across the United States in 2010. During Patrick's cross country run, he often stopped at schools to share with students what they can do to become more active and the importance of living a healthy lifestyle.
•Adrienne Schofhauser – a mountain biker by summer and snowboarder by winter. Adrienne says her freedom is found in the mountains. "It's where my heart and soul thrive, whether it's 65 degrees and the rain has turned the single-track into a muddy slip-and-slide; or it's 5 degrees and I'm getting sweaty hiking to a pow field at 9 in the morning.â€
•Molly Killien - a gregarious idealist, who loves people, coffee, travel, exclamation points, ski days, great hikes as well as meeting new people and connecting with others via social media. Molly likes to think of herself as a hybrid of a mountain girl and city slicker. She does them both beautifully.
•Brent Hyden - For the past five years, he has worked as a bacon salesman who began running when he decided needed a healthy lifestyle change. Brent just completed his first marathon and is hooked. Living in Rural Wisconsin his mountain is flat, but he loves his lakes, rivers, and streams. "It's hard not to love my mountain after a 3-hour run surrounded by tall pines.â€

Ep. 88 - RSDirectory! - Changing field ordering
When creating an RSDirectory! form, fields will be placed in the form's layout in the order they were added, from top to bottom. It is very probable that you might want to change this right away, or at some point in the future.
Let's assume that we need to place the Price core field at the top of the form (in our example, the title, big / small subtitles and entry descriptions are being generated automatically, they will not be displayed in the form).
In your website's backend, head to Components >> RSDirectory! >> Fields.
Since each field can be used in multiple forms, the ordering needs to be defined per form. In the - Select Form - field you can choose the form you want to adjust the ordering for. To change the Price field's position, first click on the two blue arrows at the top-left of the fields listing.
This will enable changing field ordering. All you need to do now is click and hold the three black dots associated with the field (to the left) and drag and drop your field in the desired position.

So I'm loving the Chalcedony Cleo necklace from mom and talented designer Lisa Van-Horn of LisaJayne jewelry. Not only is it handmade to order as all my favorite jewelry is, but it's just the right shade of blue to help me get through the winter blues.
Of course by the time April actually does get here, I'll probably be ready for turquoise. Yes, I have a problem with premature accessorizing. But I hear admitting it is the first step. –Liz

Paradise Lost? Preliminary Notes on a Constitutional Coup

There were three dramatic announcements on the evening of Friday 26th(a) the announcement of the withdrawal of the UPFA from the government; (b) the swearing-in of Mahinda Rajapaksa before President Maithripala Sirisena as the Prime Minister; and (c) the announcement that the President has informed Ranil Wickremesinghe in writing that he has been removed from the office of Prime Minister under Article 42(4).
Even if the legality of the procedure and the clarity and meaning of the relevant constitutional provisions can be debated, the fact that the event was planned in complete secrecy, with no consultation of Parliament or giving the serving Prime Minister and Cabinet the courtesy of even a short prior intimation before the course of action was made public, that it was suddenly carried out on a Friday evening, and that it has taken the country by total surprise, point to some extremely questionable motives.
Indeed, the whole set of circumstances suggest not the way a change of government ought to occur in a democracy, but the sharp practices associated with a constitutional coup, which is likely to lead to a constitutional crisis. It is a constitutional coup because the serving Prime Minister has not legally ceased to function in office before a new Prime Minister has been appointed. And it will lead to an unprecedented constitutional crisis because there are now two competing Prime Ministers and their parties jostling for power, authority, and legitimacy at the very heart of the state. Until one of these persons – Mahinda Rajapaksa or Ranil Wickremesinghe – can demonstrate that he has the confidence of Parliament through the support of a majority of MPs, and force the President to accept the will of Parliament, the crisis will not be resolved. Only time will tell what long-term damage this does to Sri Lanka's constitutional fabric….

Archibald madness may be raging in Sydney this week, but I'm in Europe, feeling a slightly guilty pleasure at being so far from the frontline. Looking at the entries on-line proves the point that it's impossible to judge works of art from photos. Every year at the preview I feel pretty confident that I can pick the winner or at least the best picture in the show (the two are rarely identical), but not when looking at a website!
I'll come back to the Archibald in the near future, but this week features an entirely different kind of event: Asad Raza's Absorptionat the Clothing Store at Carriageworks. This is the 34thKaldor Public Art Project, marking the 50th anniversary of this epic, ongoing series.
When I visited the venue just before the opening a first glance into the old Clothing Store gave the disconcerting impression of an entirely empty room. One has to look at the floor to see the work, which is made up of a thick layer of soil – approximately 300 tonnes of it – stretching from one end of the building to the other. The soil even creeps into the toilet block, where the bowls now seem to be set weirdly low to the ground.
A rich, earthy smell reaches one's nostrils before the brain has had time to process the visual information. Visitors to the show will encounter young people in specially designed outfits, raking and tending, eager to discuss the project with interested parties.
The man behind the installation is Asad Raza (b.1974), an American artist of Pakistani origins who attracted John Kaldor's attention with a series of large-scale, collaborative projects held around the world. The most relevant was probably Mother tongue, created for the 2017 Whitney Biennial in New York. It consisted of 26 living trees assiduously cultivated for four months. The work also became a site for talks and performances.
Absorption does something similar but it eliminates the trees and focuses entirely on the soil – which is not just any old pile of dirt but a boutique concoction produced with the assistance of Professor Alex McBratney, a leading soil scientist from Sydney University, and his students.
The idea is to create an experimental soil that combines diverse materials, and deposits from different places. The Kaldor people have even provided a list of components, which includes soil from Cobbity and Narrabri, green waste, cuttlebone, spent grain from a brewery, coffee grounds, gravel, river sand, dune sand, legumes, Kaolinite clay, Super phosphate and various mineral additives.
Like any scientific experiment the new soil will be constantly monitored and tested in the hope that the results will prove useful. At the end of the project the soil will be given away to anyone who wants to come and collect it, meaning that the work will be continued in numerous backyard gardens and pot plants.
It may sound like science has the upper hand in this meeting of art and science, but Raza has enlisted a group of Australian artists to produce works in relation to the installation. Daniel Boyd's contribution is the most obvious, consisting of a series of screens on the windows of the building that filter the light coming from outside. Khaled Sabsabi's is probably the most opaque, as he has put down squares of turf that are now completely concealed beneath the soil. The idea, apparently, is to invoke a Sufi concept of the mystery that lies invisible beneath the surface of life.
Agatha Gothe-Snape has had the ingenious idea of sourcing old Kaldor textiles on e-bay, and having them made into suits for the cultivators to wear. One thinks of Alexander Rodchenko designing his own stylish onesy, to be worn while working on revolutionary constructivist projects.
The other artists are Jana Hawkins-Andersen, Megan Alice Clune, Dean Cross and Brian Fuata. There are talks, a musical performance by Chun Yin Rainbow Chan, and dance choreographed by Ivey Wawm. None of these artists are exactly household names, but part of the plan is to use the Kaldor event to help bring attention to emerging local talent.
While the scientists are doing something that may prove useful, one wonders whether there is any use value to the artists' contributions. The answer, presumably, is that art stimulates our imaginations, it gives us a licence to dream, it is – as Robert Hughes once put it – "an irrational commodity". When so much of contemporary life lies in the shadow of an economic rationalism that wants to put a dollar value to everything, art is an implicit form of resistance. Needless to say, works of art only ever seem to make headlines when they are sold for outrageous prices, or stolen.
Raza's Absorption dramatises the differences between art and science, but it also shows us what they have in common. This includes a desire to confront and solve problems, the need for constant research, and a willingness to pitch into unknown territory in search of some new discovery. Artists, like scientists, are constantly pushing back the frontiers of the thinkable.
By creating a work from soil, Raza is making a clear statement of ecolological intent. Soil, as Professor McBratney would remind us, is essential to life. When it becomes degraded, every living thing suffers.
Beyond its physical properties soil has a powerful metaphoric aspect. Blut und Boden ("blood and soil") was a notorious Nazi slogan that sought to unite a particular race with a traditional homeland. The Nazis were not the only ones for whom the mystical power of "the soil" has romanticised the unglamorous realities of farming and rural life. During China's Cultural Revolution city-dwellers were encouraged, and often forced, to relocate to the country and 'learn' from the peasants.
By mixing so many different elements into the earth spread on the floor at Carriageworks, Raza is denying there is any special purity in the soil that relates to a group of chosen people. The moral is that soil is a matter of collective responsibility, not the exclusive preserve of any political or religious ideology. Raza's soil is a mixture of elements drawn from many different places, monitored and tended so that it becomes richer and more productive. At the end of the project it will be freely dispersed. Somewhere in here there's an allegory for good government, as opposed to the dirty politics we see at election time.

The Evil Within 2: How to Melee Attack
When bullets aren't enough to get the job done.
Using a Melee Attack in The Evil Within 2
When you're all out of ammo in The Evil Within 2, sometimes the only way to fight back and survive is by using a good, old-fashioned melee attack. However, do note that Sebastian won't be able to melee anyone without a hand weapon. This means that you can't simply punch people to death.
To use a melee attack, all you have to do is hit the R2 button (or RT if you're on Xbox One). Sebastian will swing whatever weapon he's holding to hit enemies directly in front of him. Even if you have the handgun equipped, hitting the R2 button will still cause him to perform a melee attack. However, as mentioned before, you'll need a melee weapon to do this. You'll get a survival knife fairly early on in the game, right after the first chapter, and Sebastian will automatically equip it. From that point on, you'll be able to start using melee attacks.
If you can, try to find a hand axe as soon as you can. This is a much more powerful weapon than the knife in The Evil Within 2, and it even allows you to behead enemies with melee attacks.
Be sure to check back out our wiki for more information on The Evil Within 2.

Formed in the wake of the Yellowstone Eruption, it is the successor state to the Provisional Government of the Third Reich which in turn was a successor to the Nazi German State. It was formally established following the left-wing's victory in Berlin during the German Revolution, and the flight of a number of high ranking Nazi officials to south-Germany, who dissolved the provisional government on May 5, 1941, with Hermann Göring, then incumbent President of the Reich, declaring the newly established State of Germany as a successor to the entirety of the Third Reich.
Currently, South Germany has been described as a single-party "totalitarian dictatorship" by many international observers. The ruling National Socialist Party has often been called out for frequent human rights abuses such as the silencing of political opposition, the state ownership of many large businesses and executions and imprisonment without a proper trial. The party has also been attacked on their anti-Semitic, anti-immigrant, extreme nationalistic views, and the stance of the nation's President and Chancellor, Günter Deckert and Udo Voigt respectively.
Germany has been inhabited by human beings for over 50,000 years, with the origins of a "Germanic" people going back to the Nordic bronze age period (between 1700 and 600 BCE). Subsequent wars against the Roman State, and the centralisation following said empire's decline saw the formation of a number of states within the Germanic region, which, over time, came together to form the Holy Roman Empire. The Napoleonic wars would later lead to the "Empire's" dissolution, however, German nationalism would flourish in the early-to-mid 19th century, when the Kingdom of Prussia led the way for the formation of a modern German nation.
On 18 July, 1936, the Yellowstone National Park collapsed into itself and erupted, sending thousands of cubic meters of ash, rock and debris into the atmosphere. Thousands died over the first days following the eruption as the mid-west of the continental United States was blanketed in volcanic material, and the debris left in the upper-atmosphere would lead to spectacular worldwide sunsets, as well as a the cooling of the temperature (falling by as low as 3°C by December). In Germany, the then current ruling party, the National Socialist German Worker's Party (NSDAP; or the Nazi Party), were forced to deal with the outcome of the eruption, with the period after which becoming known as the "years without summer"; a twelve to fifteen year period following the Yellowstone event that saw a drastic decrease in the Earth's temperature, as well as mass crop failure, starvation and an epidemic of famine.
These effects were the same witnessed in Germany, as the winter saw the stalling of the south-German agricultural base, and the lack of produce/food shipments saw the initial waves of famine and food riots in the nation. Attempts to quell the dissent failed, as capital, Berlin, saw the largest of the riots in mid-Spring after cooler temperatures set in, furthering the failure of crops worldwide, and thousands in many rural areas of Germany died without the support of the government. This reached its climax on the 13 June,1937, when Hitler appeared before a large crowd in the capital to comfort and reassure his nation's citizens that the food production would ultimately increase in the following months. As he came to the end of his speech, a sixteen year-old German youth named Martin Scheunemann, who in a display of dissatisfaction with the leader's response to the crisis, appeared before Hitler and shot him 5 times.
Provisional ReichFollowing the death of Hitler in 1937, the period following was known as the Provisional Reich Era, when the Provisional Government of the Third Reich ruled in Berlin, headed by Hermann Göring as President of the Provisional Reich. The era took place during the time of extreme dissatisfaction with the Nazi government, with outright violence and protests beginning to occur in the last weeks of 1937 and the first of 1938. Food and good shipping to Germany halted after February 1938, which caused a violent reaction from many in the North. Between the 18 March and the 3 August 1938, clashes between the Sturmabteilung (Assault Division; Brownshirts) and protesters escalated, leading to an uprising in the capital, the perpetrators being moderate to left-wing groups that felt the Nazi's had failed in their position of ruling Germany, and attempted to take over the Reichstag by force. The Communist Party of Germany was one of the leading groups behind the attempts, and with a large group of civilians in the agricultural sector supporting them, by mid-July, it began to appear the left-wing revolutionaries were gaining the upper hand.
The attempted revolution, however, failed, for in the late summer and early autumn, the Wehrmacht (German military) were deployed to an area in East Berlin were militant group of Communists that had been hauled up. This began a period of increased military presence within Berlin, and the end of the outwardly violent clashes, turning the left-wing groups a guerrilla campaign against minor or major military targets. Under Göering, suppression became a central part of the public and private life of the nation's citizens, as newspapers, radio and other forms of entertainment became more rigorously controlled than when the country was led by Hitler. Martial law was introduced in late 1938, and strict regulation and observation of citizens activities had begun.
The two years of 1939 and 1940 saw a marked decrease in instances of violence and protest, and the stability brought about by the control of the people saw a period of stability and even growth, despite temperatures being as low as they had ever been. Agricultural out-put went up, if only slightly, and international shipments had began up again in late 1939. The government control of the agricultural sector allowed Göering to create the first public works program, which saw the formation of large farms across the Bavaria region. This allowed many poor migrants from the north to find work once again, and by 1940, the farmland built by the Göering government was outproducing that of France.
This period also saw a drastic change within the spiritual community, as Alfred Rosenberg, then Deputy President to Göring, managed to persuade the President to help pass legislation through the NSDAP-controlled Reichstag in support of "Positive Christianity"; a form of Christianity that was interwoven with aspects of the Nazi policies of race and religion, rejecting the Jewish written Old Testament and claiming that Jesus himself was Aryan. Whilst this identity of the religion was not popular in Germany for years after the legislation passed, it would eventually become the largest faith in South Germany following it's adoption as a state religion in 1968.
However, in 1941, the stability that had been built over the previous two years appeared to be in decline. A cold-snap occurred during the 1940-41 winter season, and crop production began to decrease once more. Initial protests in the capital were put down violently by both the Wehrmacht and Sturmabteilung, however, as the months passed, further cold-induced harvest failures led many more to begin protesting against the Nazi government. By mid-April, 1941, units of the military were beginning to join their fellow citizens in many of the capitals, and the provisional Göring government was beginning to lose its grip over the north of the country. Finally, on April 26, a violent uprising began in the north of Berlin, orchestrated by a multiple of dissatisfied right, left, and central wing groups that openly advocated for revolution. Fire fights occurred throughout the week in most major cities across north-Germany, with those in official positions fled Berlin to cities in the southern regions of the nation, such as Munich and Nuremberg. On May 1, Göring himself, along with members of his cabinet, fled to the "Nazi capital" Nuremberg to escape the rioters and revolutionaries who by now defeated a majority of the military/brownshirt groups that remained loyal to the government. As revolution inflamed the north, with most major cities now under the left/central revolutionaries control, the NSDAP dissolved the Provisional Republic on 5 May, with Göring forming the State of Germany in a public speech in Nuremberg that same day, establishing the city as the seat of government.
Nuremberg Government
Modern Germany
South Germany, as described as by many international observers, is a far-right, totalitarian single-party state. The national is currently structured under a framework set-out in the 1945 constitution (also known as the Nuremberg Constitution). Amendments to the constitution require a majority (51%) of the vote in the Reichstag, however, due to the single-party nature of the legislature, almost all official amendments proposed and brought forth by high ranking government get passed.The president is the current head of state in South Germany, and invested with a large number of legislative, executive and representative powers. The president is elected via members of the Reichstag to serve a life term until incumbent dies, resigns, or becomes incapable of carrying out their duties. The deputy president is an official office held in Germany, however, the officer holder has no legislative powers, and is an entirely representative position. Those in the position have been described as the "right-hand-man" of the president, and are chosen by the head of state personally. The current president of the German state, Günter Deckert, has been in his position since 1994.
The second-highest official position in the German state is that of the chancellor; the head of government and the Reichstag and is invested with a number of legislative powers. Whilst the position is held by those who are the head of the majority party in the legislature, and is elected by the members of such, the position is more often attained by those chosen by the president directly, and in a similar fashion to the head of state, the chancellor serves a life term until they die, resign, or become incapable. The incumbent chancellor, Udo Voigt, has been serving his term since 2000.
Since the Nazi party came to power in Germany in 1933, national law has mandated unconditional bio-science to the office of president, also known as Führerprinzip in German. The concept was originally built around the "cult of personality" of Adolf Hitler, however, during the Göring administration, and subsequent presidencies since his death, the idea has been slowly shifting away from one office, but the entirety of the government; primarily the NSDAP controlled Reichstag. In 1958, the first of the "oaths of alligeance acts" were passed in the national legislature, making it mandatory for students, civil servents, soldiers, and those in official government organizations (such as the German Youth Movement) to speak on oath to the state everyday before going about their business. Updates to the oath were made in 1963 and 1999, and today, the oath to German nation is read as such;
Ich schwöre einen Eid auf das Deutsche Reich und seine einzig wahre Volk, meine Aufgaben zu erfüllen mein Möglichstes Fähigkeit, so wahr mir Gott helfe!
I swear an oath to the German empire, and its one true people, to fulfill my duties to my utmost ability; so help me God!
Ever since its inception in 1934, the people's court (Volksgerichtshof) has been the leading establishment in the German state to deal with politically important matters. Under the 1945 constitution, the court has the power to issue the death penalty for a number of offences, the most prevalent in 2012 being;
- Speaking something deemed seditious, provocative or "anti-German" - 100+ executed
- Condemning the government and/or the courts - 60+ executed
- Being a declared Communist - 50+ executed
The most prevalent methods of execution used in Germany today is hanging, followed by the firing squad, and the majority of executions carried out in 2012 have been performed under the former method. The current police system in the nation is divided into two main branches; the Sicherheitspolizei (Security Police), and the Reichssicherheitshauptamt, or RSHS (Reich Central Security Office), the former involved in the apprehension and detainment of criminals, whilst the latter is involved more organized emergency response (i.e. fire brigades, night watchmen, civil defence, etc.).
Germany is also known world-wide for its "extreme" laws against what the NSDAP considers "undesirables"; Jews, gypsies, homosexuals and the disabled. It is currently illegal in Germany for these groups to marry German citizens, hold citizenship, own a business, or be employed by "full-blood" Germans under the age of 50. Most of these groups exist in Germany today in only small numbers, living in what detractors have described as "modern ghettos", mostly in the northern cities of the nation. They are forced to wear armbands/patches so law enforcement can more easily identify them, and almost all live in a state of poverty. These laws are believed to help promote the party endorsed racial discrimination and "eliminate" the groups, whilst official, high ranking members of the Nazi party have said that these measures are instituted for the protection of the German citizen, and the preservation of the supposed "Aryan race".
Administrative Districts
South Germany is divided into thirteen administrative districts (known as Landkreise in German), one being the capital, known officially as the Nuremberg Capital District. Each district has its own constitution (most being based on the national constitution), yet they have little internal autonomy. The most populous of these districts is the Munich-Upper Bavaria (German: München-Oberbayern) district, home to three million of the nation's estimated twenty-five million citizens. As of 2013, the thirteen administrative districts are divided into 195 district divisions (German: Bezirk Divisionen); these consisting of 163 rural divisions, and 32 urban divisions.
Foreign Relations
Since its establishment in 1941, the German state has maintained poor relations with many surrounding nations, especially those on the European continent. It does, however, preserve stronger relations with its "fascists allies" to the South; Austria and the Federal State of Italy, primarily Austria owing to a shared "culture" and language. Germany is also involved (to some degree) in the Fascist International, and as of 2013, remains active in the organization.
According to defectors from South Germany, as well as international observers, the nation remains in a state of animosity against its Northern neighbour, the New German Empire. Violence and conflict has sparked over the course of their history, primary due to their claims on the entirety of pre-eruption Germany. Fighting is often undertaken inside the territory of the de jure independent Saxony; a republic that has been vied for by the German Empire and South Germany since its declaration of independence.
According to a wide array of sources, the 2011 population report indicated that the state of Germany was home to around 25 million citizens. The overall life expectancy of the nation is relatively high in comparison to surrounding nations, currently standing at 75.8, an increase of 2 points from five years ago. The nation's fertility rate is high for the European community, currently standing at around 3.09 births/per women, or 16 per 1,000 inhabitants. Since the 1960's, South Germany's birthrate has been higher than it's death rate, and despite closing off its borders to thousands of immigrants per year, its population is growing, with an expectation it will exceed 30,000,000 by the late-2010's.
Ethnic Germans make up a majority in the nation, with 94% of the populace being descended from the German citizens from around the time of the Yellowstone event, with 10% of those being ethnic Germans who immigrated from Austria. A further 4% are native French, whilst the remaining 2% are comprised of other European ethnic groups; such as the Polish border populace. Around 28% of the entire South German citizenry is comprised of those aged under 18, whilst only 14% is aged over 75.
|Religious breakdown in Germany
|Positive Christian
Of these twenty-one and a half million Christians, 41% have declared themselves part of the "Positive Christian" identity, whilst 27% have self-identified as Catholic and 18% as Protestant. The second largest group in Germany is the irreligious, with 14% being described as having "no official religious belief or affiliation". Of this demographic, 8% of irreligious citizens are agnostic, whilst a smaller statistic describe themselves as atheistic.
Originally, the Christian breakdown in South Germany after 1936 was a north-south split between the Protestant and Catholic faiths, with the former being prevalent in the north of the country, and the latter being more practices in the south and east. However, after a series of religious acts passed by the Reichstag in the early to mid-1940's, all being pushed forth and promoted by Deputy President Alfred Rosenberg, the Positive Christian movement began to become far more widespread and popular, especially in the more "National Socialist" cities; especially the capital, Nuremberg. The push for a state religion centered around "Aryan Christianity" began in the 1950's, but it wouldn't be until 1968 in which the legislature passed the "Promoting Act", essentially prescribing Positive Christianity as the nation's one religion.
In Germany, over 99.5% of the population over the age of 15 can read and write according to the 2011 Fascist International general census report, one of the highest literacy rates in the world. All educational facilities within the nation are under strict control by the government, and in accordance with the Nuremberg constitution, the schools operate on a three tier level; kindergarten education, primary schooling, and secondary schooling, all of which are compulsory. Higher level university/college and vocational education is also available, but it is, however, non-mandatory. Almost all schools within South Germany are considered government run public educational facilities.
Compulsory education begins when a child is aged 5 (and enrolled in kindergarten), the school year beginning around early-February depending on the district. This form of education continues for two years (when the child is 5 and 6), before they "graduate" to primary schooling. Primary public schooling last for another 6 years until the student is 12, before they enroll in the third tier of education, secondary schooling, which lasts for another 6 years, until the students graduate from the institution at age 18. Secondary schooling is primarily focused around two forms of institutions, the Gymnasium, where intermediate and more gifted learners prepare to go to university, and the Hauptschule, where those students that choose to do so, prepare to enter vocational training or the work force after graduating.
In recent years, many international rights organizations have put the government of Germany, and the German educational system under scrutiny due to the excessive "indoctrination" of the students. Those enrolled in the educational system are required to go through "racial identification classes", where they are taught to identify "undesirables", and the promotion of the government's racial policy to the students is rampant. It is also noted that in most districts in Germany, only those affiliated with the Nazi party are given permission to work with the students, and in the the capital city, it is mandatory for teachers to be a card-carrying member of the NSDAP before they can begin university training to become an teacher.

Florida, as you probably know is the fishing capital of the world. Fishing is excellent year round, but August is one of the slower months for fishing in Florida. However, we still have plenty fun species of gamefish to catch.
I would definitely pick the Florida Keys to fish, and for a few reasons. It is by far the most diverse fishing you can ever find. You have so many options right in the Keys, such as the Atlantic Ocean, the Gulf of Mexico, Florida Bay, etc.
You have inshore, nearshore and offshore fishing with hundreds of species to choose from. You also have Lobster ("bugs" as we call them) season at this time. So, hands-down it's the Florida Keys.
Have a safe trip and let us know how you do. Thank you for sending in your question to The Online Fisherman. Please send us some pictures of your trip!
This map is from our Maps section and is specifically for the Florida Keys

Elon Musk's first tunnel, the Boring Company, located in Los Angeles, will be inaugurated in about 11 weeks on December 10.
Elon Musk used his Twitter to announce the inauguration of the company's first tunnel, which was built to complement the tunnel extension initially used by Musk's company as test. The new tunnel will allow passengers to travel at speeds of up to 240 km/h.
Elon Musk's idea for these tunnels is to be able to move people between different cities and areas of the city in the shortest time, in order to avoid not only the transit, but also better to monetize your personal time, reducing travel time, and the idea of the businessman is to take people from strategic points of the city to offices and car parks.
In the future, Elon believes that the technology will allow traveling up to 967 km/h, using hyperloop technology, drawing air from the tunnel in order to decrease the air resistance, and thus consequently increasing speed.
This is not the first time that Musk uses Twitter to announce something about his companies, being for him common practice, having even recently existed a lot of furor, due to a Tweet in which Elon said to be considering to make the company (TESLA) private to $ 420 per share, but that later, due to lack of word for lack of investors, it was not effective, with SEC, the American company responsible for surveillance of speculation in the United States, fined both the company and the businessman, at 20 million of dollars each.
