Detective Pikachu (video game)
Detective Pikachu[1] (known in Japan as Great Detective Pikachu) is an adventure game developed by Creatures Inc., published by The Pokémon Company, and distributed by Nintendo for the Nintendo 3DS family of systems. The game is a spin-off of the Pokémon franchise, in which the player works with a talking Pikachu to solve various mysteries. A shorter, downloadable version of the game called Great Detective Pikachu: Birth of a New Duo[2] was released in Japan in February 2016, while the full version was released worldwide in March 2018.

Detective Pikachu
In contrast to previous Pokémon role-playing games, Detective Pikachu is an adventure game spin-off focusing on narrative storytelling, with a presentation comparable to the Pokémon anime series.[3] A live-action film adaptation was released in May 2019. That same year, a sequel was announced for the Nintendo Switch.
The game begins with a peculiar talking Pikachu, who, despite not being as powerful and nimble as other Pikachu of his kind, is rather intelligent and claims to be a great detective. One day, Pikachu encounters a boy named Tim Goodman, who is able to understand what he is saying. They are immediately put to the test with retrieving a stolen necklace from thieving Aipom. Afterwards, they head to Baker Detective Agency and meet Mike Baker and secretary Amanda Blackstone, both of whom were close to Harry Goodman, Tim's father and Pikachu's owner. Harry had gone missing following a mysterious car crash that happened the same time Pikachu got amnesia. Tim and Pikachu deduce that Harry was last seen trying to investigate Litwick Cave, and arrive just in time to rescue GNN reporter Meiko Okamoto and her assistant Emilia Christie from a rampaging Glalie, who seems to not remember why it was attacking to begin with.
After escaping, Tim and Pikachu trace a clue to the Pokémon Comprehensive Laboratory. Posing as interns, they are introduced to the staff and are reunited with Emilia and Meiko, who together end up having to solve another rampaging Pokémon incident. They learn that employee Carlos Hernando had created a drug called "R" and has been using it to induce the rampages. After his arrest following an attempt to use R to chase them off, they learn that R was actually created by Dr. Waals, who now lives on Cappucci Island, but upon arriving learn that he is under arrest by overzealous lieutenant Brad McMaster for a supposed dangerous Pokémon that has been attacking the native wildlife. With Tim and Pikachu's help, they catch the real culprit, a tourist director who just wanted to possess Dr. Waals' home, and clear Waals' name. Waals reveals that R was supposed to be a miracle drug using the DNA of Mew, but by mistake the DNA came from Mewtwo, who has a "berserk gene" that causes the rampaging Pokémon.
At Waals' advice, Tim and Pikachu head to the abandoned Fine Park where the first rampage occurred with a Charizard. The native Pokémon bring forth a locket that belonged to Harry and learn from a Buneary that a Skorupi had attacked him, resulting in him crashing his car. Tim and Pikachu head to the GNN building to meet with Meiko about the Fine Park footage of Charizard's rampage. When she leaves to go get it, Tim and Pikachu get involved in another mystery involving a down on his luck comedian trying to steal a violin from a competitor from a show he's hosting. They finally get to see the footage and discover that GNN assistant director Keith Norman had used a Skorupi to release R on Charizard at the park. Found out, Keith makes his escape on a Noivern, but Pikachu discovers that the locket left by Harry is actually a hidden camera full of photos taken from Ryme Wharf.
Upon arriving, Tim and Pikachu spot a couple of shifty wharf employees and realize that they are keeping Waals' former assistant Simon Yen prisoner, and have been forcing him to mass-produce R. Pikachu suddenly remembers that he made a promise to Mewtwo to stop the creation of R, and Yen sneaks Tim and Pikachu onto the S.S. Prime Treasure, where R is apparently being sent. By coincidence, they run into Emilia and get caught up in another side mystery involving a stolen mask. Afterwards, they learn that a secret black market auction is happening and take part in it, discovering that Keith is there trying to sell R. They manage to catch him. As Tim and Emilia have a moment, Pikachu speaks privately with Mewtwo, who reveals that his promise is not over and that he still needs him to get rid of his cells. After looking through Keith's things they learn he is working for someone at GNN, and that they plan to release R during the Pokémon carnival.
Tim, Pikachu and Emilia race back to the Baker Agency to inform them about the clues they have gathered. Realizing that the culprit plans to release R at Central Square during a parade, the group split up to look for clues. They capture and arrest a mysterious man in a yellow hat, but realize that R will be distributed from the clock tower, and find a large machine that they are able to successfully disarm. At that point, they realize that the culprit is GNN boss Roger Clifford, due to him mentioning that Pikachu does not have powers (something that only Keith knew). Roger reveals himself with Emilia as his hostage. He explains that he wanted to use R as a way to report on its disaster in Ryme City, making GNN more powerful and leading to them having total control of information. Tim and Pikachu rescue Emilia and defeat Roger and his Noivern. As Roger is taken away, Pikachu meets with Mewtwo to return the last of his cells. Pikachu then "makes a decision" and is put to sleep by Mewtwo. The next morning, Tim and Pikachu set off to look for Harry.
Detective Pikachu is an adventure game in which players control Tim Goodman as he works together with Detective Pikachu to solve various mysteries. This is accomplished by walking around scenes, finding potential clues, and speaking with people and Pokémon to uncover new information.[4]
Development on Detective Pikachu began in mid-2013. The game was first revealed in October 2013 during an episode of the Japanese television show The Professionals as part of a profile on The Pokémon Company CEO Tsunekazu Ishihara. NHK, the show's television network, leaked some information about the game on its website in advance of the show's airing. Early shots of the game depict a Pikachu in blue. Later that year, Nintendo filed a trademark for the name Great Detective Pikachu.[5] The developers released a debut trailer in late January 2016, a week before the game's launch.
In a 2018 interview, the creators of Detective Pikachu, which features a talking Pikachu, revealed that the original intention for the anime was to have the Pokémon talk, but OLM, Inc. were unable to come up with a concept that Game Freak were accepting of.[6] In the game, Pikachu wears a deerstalker, taking inspiration from popular depictions of Sherlock Holmes.[7][8]
The game's initial version, called Great Detective Pikachu: Birth of a New Duo (名探偵ピカチュウ 〜新コンビ誕生〜, Meitantei Pikachu ~Shin Konbi Tanjō~), was released on the Nintendo 3DS eShop in Japan on February 3, 2016. On January 12, 2018, this version of the game was removed from the eShop in Japan,[9] and later that day it was announced that an expanded version of the game, simply titled Detective Pikachu, was scheduled for a physical Nintendo 3DS release worldwide on March 23, 2018. This version of the game featured nine chapters of story, as opposed to the three of the original release.
On March 9, 2018, a Special Demo Version of the full game was released for free on the Nintendo 3DS eShop in Japan. The demo featured the first half of the first chapter of the game and allowed players to transfer their progress to the full game.[10] This demo was later released in the West on April 5, 2018.[11] Similarly, Japanese players who had completed the original download version of the game were able to start playing the full version from where they left off upon release. The game was released alongside a giant Detective Pikachu amiibo figure, which unlocks hints and optional cutscenes in the game.[12]
Following the Japanese release of the game, dedicated fans started a petition requesting American actor Danny DeVito as the English voice actor for the titular character. The petition gained 40,000 signatures, but DeVito declined to audition for the role saying he'd never even heard of Pokémon.[13][14]
To promote the release of the full version of the game, The Pokémon Company released a free promotional eBook called Detective Pikachu Episode 0 - Eevee's Case, available until May 15, 2018 on Apple's iBooks and Amazon's Kindle stores. The short story acts as a prequel to the game, setting up its story. The book was originally released in physical form as a pre-order bonus for the game in Japan.[15] Alongside this, a set of stickers was also released for free on iMessage and Line on the same day.[16]
In Japan, the game sold 121,423 units, including 94,203 retail sales and 27,220 digital eShop sales.[27] On North America's NPD charts, it was the top-selling 3DS game in March 2018,[28] and one of the top ten 3DS games during June–July 2018.[29][30] On the UK's multi-platform charts, it debuted at number 23 in its first week during March 2018, before rising to number 15 the following week with a 76% sales increase.[31] It was also number 12 on the UK's 3DS platform chart in November 2018.[32]
Detective Pikachu received "mixed or average" reviews from critics, according to review aggregator Metacritic.[17] Critics praised the game's presentation, storytelling, witty writing, voice cast, puzzles, and the two main characters themselves, Detective Pikachu and Tim Goodman. However, it was criticized for having mediocre gameplay, simplistic game mechanics, lack of difficulty, and short length.[17]
IGN gave the game a "great" score of 8.2 out of 10, calling it "a bold take on the iconic Pokemon, which succeeds thanks to Pika Prompts that build Pikachu beyond detective stereotypes" and concluded that it "gives great insight into the world of Pokemon through its fun mysteries and wonderful coffee-loving lead."[21] Ryan Craddock of Nintendo Life also gave the game a "great" score of 8 out of 10, stating that while the game was quite easy with no real penalty for incorrect decisions, "the game's art, storytelling, and genuinely likeable cast [showed] the world of Pokémon in a great new light". There was also praise given to the game's "gorgeous" visuals and the character of Detective Pikachu himself.[25]
Several critics felt the story would work better as a film than as a game.[17] Eurogamer noted the game is more similar to the Pokémon anime series than previous Pokémon video games, and compared it to the Ace Attorney series of adventure games.[3] Nintendoros also compared it to the manga and anime series Detective Conan.[33]
The game was nominated for "Nintendo Game of the Year" at the Golden Joystick Awards,[34] and for "Game, Franchise Family" at the National Academy of Video Game Trade Reviewers Awards.[35]
Film adaptationEdit
A live-action film based around the Detective Pikachu character by Warner Bros. Pictures was released on May 10, 2019. It was directed by Rob Letterman, and stars Justice Smith, Kathryn Newton, Suki Waterhouse, Omar Chaparro, Chris Geere, Ken Watanabe and Bill Nighy, with Ryan Reynolds as the voice of Pikachu.[36] The film began pre-production in 2017, and was filmed in London in 2018.[37]
The film version makes numerous changes. While the basic premise is still the same, the conditions were very different. Tim is a 21-year-old insurance salesman who leaves his grandmother to collect his father's assets as opposed to the game where he is an 18-year-old who leaves home to look for his father following his disappearance. The Hi-Hat Café, Pokémon Comprehensive Laboratory, Ryme Wharf and GNN (renamed CNM) are present, but are not given as much focus as they do in the game. Roger Clifford is changed to being the CEO of Clifford Industries which is founded by his father Howard, who is the real villain, while Roger himself is innocent. Howard's plan involved using Mewtwo to fuse all Pokémon with humans in an effort to "help" humanity evolve rather than just making GNN powerful in an effort to control information. The film character of Lucy Stevens is an amalgam of Emilia Christie and Meiko Okamoto, neither of whom had a Pokémon partner in the game. The character of Keith Norman is replaced with Ms. Norman, who in turn is a Ditto taking on human form. Pikachu is in fact Harry who was fused with his Pokémon by Mewtwo. This seems to be only implied in the game where Harry's disappearance is left completely unresolved. The drug R still causes Pokémon to become erratic and violent, but its purpose went from being used as a super drug to it being used so that Mewtwo can more easily manipulate the affected Pokémon.
Weeks after the film adaptation's release, The Pokémon Company announced in a press conference that a Detective Pikachu sequel is being developed for the Nintendo Switch. The sequel will reportedly feature a completely different resolution from what the film version portrayed.[38]

Sonam Kapoor has addressed ongoing speculation about her love life.
The actress was previously linked with director Punit Malhotra and is now being romantically connected with businessman-model Sahir Berry.
According to The Hindustan Times, Kapoor responded to the reports by saying: "Being in love is the best feeling on the planet. I really believe that love makes the world go round. Literally, I see hearts and other [girly] stuff all around me.
"I am very emotional, idealistic and correct about [love]. I think [love's] really important. In a lot of ways, if I were ambitious about anything - besides my career - I'd be ambitious about love. Ambitious in the sense that I really hope to find true love."
It has been reported that the Bewakoofiyan star was introduced to Berry through social media.
The 26-year-old, who was earlier dating Saawariya co-star Ranbir Kapoor, said that she doesn't want to date anyone from the industry.

They're dead, they're all messed up, and they might just be your neighbors. Which means you may have to deal with zombies from time to time, and, contrary to what movies like 28 Days Later…, Dawn of the Dead, and others too numerous to name would suggest, there's more variety in the zombie community than the distinction between fast brain-eaters and slow brain-eaters. Some zombies are mindless drones, but some are children, nudists, activists — heck, some are even strippers. In the spirit of opening minds (metaphorically speaking, of course), come meet some of the zombies who might pass through your town, work in your area, or even move in down the block, from the most dangerous to the, well, still dangerous but not as much so. And remember: good fences make good neighbors. Especially if they're topped with razor wire and electrified.
AMC Fearfest begins on Mon., Oct. 18, at 8PM | 7C, with Friday the 13th and continues with horror movies right up to the world premiere of The Walking Dead, on Sun., Oct. 31, at 10PM | 9C.Read More

Please can I take this opportunity to thank The PC Support Group for the superb service provided yesterday. I asked Andi on support if he was busy when I spoke, the answer was yes but he still provided immediate support and help to remedy a situation with my Blackberry which I was beginning to panic about!
I cannot recommend you and your company highly enough – I have no idea how your prices compare, I am not interested, it is irrelevant because the quality of service is beyond comparison. That is the only thing that matters for mission critical areas of my business such as my IT setup.
I am more than happy to take a call from anyone who is foolish enough to believe they can get better service anywhere else, and is even remotely considering doing so.

Champion Boxing (チャンピオンボクシング Chanpion Bokushingu , "Boxing Champion") is a 1984 boxing arcade game developed and published by Sega for the arcades, and later ported to the Sega SG-1000 only in Japan and Europe the same year. It was Sega-AM2 founder and leader Yu Suzuki's debut creation. In 1985, a successor of Yu Suzuki's Champion Boxing titled Champion Pro Wrestling was released in the arcades, and ported to the SG-1000 and the MSX home computer the same year. However, this is a professional wrestling game instead of a boxing game.

A packed room explored the cultural and organizational shift that is part of the Signs of Safety Framework during the March 15th STLCANN quarterly training. The Children's Division and partner agencies are using the Signs of Safety approach to ensure children's safety while more effectively engaging parents.
The framework's roots are in solution focused brief therapy principles:
- The client is the expert in his/her own life.
- If it isn't broke, don't fix it.
- If you find something that works, do more of it.
- If it's not working, do something different.
Mary Mogg, who worked for the Children's Division, and is currently employed by the Missouri Alliance for Children and Families, facilitated the training.
Mary was joined by Sara Smith from the Children's Division Central Office. Sara shared changes in the questions that hotline workers ask, what kinds of reports are accepted, and online reporting procedures.

As we've all learned in recent weeks, COVID-19 has found its way into every aspect of life; work and school, sports and play, municipal government operations, food shopping, going to the movies or parks, dining out with family and friends, getting a haircut and celebrating birthdays.
COVID-19 also is making it tough to celebrate weddings.
Couples are having to postpone their special day, one of life's most carefully planned, choreographed and executed occasions, taking into account such factors as gathering families and friends together, decorating their chosen venue and preparing themselves to walk down the aisle.
"I stopped counting at 47 (postponements) and that was a couple of weeks ago," Roxy Williams, owner and founder of Makeup by Roxy, Catasauqua, said in a telephone interview April 28.
Williams and her team of makeup artists, hair stylists and tanning technicians, help couples put their best self forward on their wedding day and other special events.
"Our normal has been jeopardized heavily," Williams said.
Kathy Slane, of Michael Thomas Floral, Allentown, agreed.
Like Williams, Slane's business has had cancellations in recent weeks, including two in April.
"I keep reassuring them (the brides). We will stand by our contract and do your flowers. I am not turning anybody down," Slane said. "If they can get it rescheduled we will do the flowers," Slane said in a telephone interview April 29.
In an email April 26 to The Press, Wesley Barrett, of Wesley Works Entertainment and Photography, Emmaus, a business providing photography and DJ services, totaled postponed or rescheduled weddings on his books at 50, most of which were originally to be held March through June.
"Overall, most of the couples we have been talking with have been taking these unprecedented times in stride. Obviously, after already waiting months to get married, there is some disappointment in having to wait some more, but for the most part, everyone has been handling it pretty well, which is great."
According to the wedding specialty website TheKnot.com, the national average cost of a wedding in 2019 was $33,900, including the engagement ring but excluding the cost of a honeymoon.
The average cost for those marrying in Pennsylvania hit $35,900 in 2019. Nearby, wedding costs in Delaware and New Jersey averaged $34,900 and $53,400, respectively, according to TheKnot.com writer Maggie Seaver.
Bear Creek Mountain Resort and Conference Center hosts more than 115 weddings a year, Gary Kline, director of marketing and guest experience, wrote in an email response.
"Since the beginning of the pandemic, the resort has received many emails and phone calls regarding the postponing of weddings and social events," Kline wrote. Some weddings at Bear Creek have moved to 2021.
"The vast majority of the weddings impacted to date were scheduled March – June, with the majority being offered alternative dates in 2020," Kline continued.
Destination weddings also are feeling the pinch.
Makeup by Roxy teams were scheduled to travel to Nashville, Raleigh, N.C., Las Vegas and London in the coming months for wedding ceremonies and related events.
All have been postponed to later this year and into next. For example, the London nuptials, originally scheduled for June 6 will now be held in March 2021.
Couples will be exchanging vows throughout the week. Saturday weddings are moving to Fridays and Sundays, Barrett noted. Thursdays too, Williams said.
"Monday definitely through me for a loop," Williams said of a recent postponement.
Slane noticed brides taking into account fashion choices in postponement plans. One of her clients talked with Slane about the watermelon-colored attendants' dresses she selected for her May wedding remaining appropriate when choosing a new date. Silhouettes such as strapless or spaghetti straps also can matter, Slane said.
Changes beyond postponements also will continue.
Williams anticipates gloves, masks and other changes for herself, her team and her clients.
"It will be about protecting the client and ourselves," Williams said.
Michael Thomas Floral offers contact-free delivery and curbside pickup for arrangements, Slane said. During the upcoming season, a perennially busy time for florists, Slane and seven coworkers will staff the workshop in shifts of up to four people to maintain proper social distance practices, she said.
Barrett was philosophical writing, "I think we will see some changes once weddings start to happen again. Guest lists will likely initially be reduced to meet recommended health standards. To avoid cutting out previously invited guests, online streaming and delivered wedding meals are all within reach. We expect to see more cellphone toasts streamed over our sound system and projector screens from guests who aren't permitted to travel or video montages created in advance of the wedding to be displayed during dinner. And I say this jokingly, but who knows, tables might have hand sanitizer as centerpieces and bridal parties with matching face masks as a new accessory."
Barrett noted the wedding industry was nearly recession proof in the 2000s.
"I expect it will move through a pandemic in a similar way," Barrett wrote.
According to Kline, Bear Creek can host as many as nine weddings per weekend. In addition, other events and occasions are being planned and held at the resort.
"We continue to put action plans and processes in place for guests who would like to visit the resort even though the original planned event may not be taking place or being hosted with the size and scope originally planned," Kline wrote. "Our goal is to host as many programs as we can do safely and within the established guidelines of the Centers for Disease Control and state."
The impact of COVID-19 also is felt personally for business owners.
"We love and miss each other," Slane said of her coworkers.
Williams and her staff use a group text to keep in touch and team members have volunteered together for organizations where they could practice social distancing while helping others.
Meanwhile, business continues.
Slane expected floral orders to rise in the run up to Mother's Day because taking mothers out for dinner or brunch was not possible due to Covid-19 restrictions. A delivery of flowers offered an effective way to celebrate and honor moms.
Williams said she's seen personal care industry groups and organizations offering Webinars and Zoom meetings to help with advice and boost morale during the current health crisis.
Calendars also are filling up with new wedding dates.
Williams has 12 weddings booked now for one Saturday in October.
"I just feel extremely lucky we've been able to accommodate them thus far," Williams said.

Alumni Spotlight: Natalia Mayo ('17)
April 5, 2018
After graduating in 2017, Natalia discovered that her LIM College education had prepared her to overcome career obstacles in important and unexpected ways. Now a Production Assistant at Michael Kors, Natalia has a knack for tackling demanding goals in both her personal and professional life.
Tell us about your role at Michael Kors.
My team manages the women's Ready-to-Wear collection. I organize communication between factories, in-house technical designers and other teams involved in physical merchandise. I also analyze the status of all fits and make updates to our product lifecycle management system. After analyzing garment tests, I approve all Top-of-Production samples, hangtags and care instructions.
What are some challenges you've faced in your career?
During my Senior Co-op internship at LIM, I interned at Derek Lam 10 Crosby, where I was eventually hired as a Product Development Assistant/Coordinator. I struggled at first, and after some time, I was let go. I then rededicated myself to applying everywhere I could. Almost immediately, I was having second and third interviews at places such as Ralph Lauren, Barney's and Michael Kors.
How did LIM prepare you for your professional experiences?
I'll be honest: I was not an "A" student at LIM. But the College prepared me for life in ways I wasn't even aware of. For example, the industry exploration seminars — which teach you to write many different versions of resumes, cover letters, and portfolios — truly set me apart from other recent college graduates. I review a lot of resumes in my job now, and it's clear to me that very few schools are prepping their students like LIM is. I had classes, professors, and projects that taught me skills that it would have taken me years in the industry to acquire. LIM taught me to solve problems quickly, creatively and with a business mindset.
What accomplishment are you most proud of?
Earlier this year, while working long hours at Michael Kors, I was also training for the Miss New York USA pageant. Out of 155 women, I placed as a semifinalist and also received the Miss Congeniality award. The fact that I was able to train for the pageant — waking up early, working with my coach, going to the gym — while excelling in my career, showed me I can do whatever I want as long as I'm willing to work for it. (I plan on competing again next year!)
If you could go back in time and give career advice to your younger self, what would it be?
Do the unpaid internships. It looks great on your resume and it really teaches you about patience and professionalism.

The military started demolishing houses in Rafah, North Sinai, on Wednesday morning, after evacuation Tuesday, as part of a larger scheme to eradicate terrorist cells and prevent the smuggling of arms into the peninsula, Reuters reported.
The proposed area for evacuation includes over 800 properties, housing 1156 families and approximately 910 cultivated acres.
Despite widespread reports in local media that residents are supporting the efforts of the military, some questioned what difference the clearing of the land will actually make in the fight against terrorism.
Hammam al-Agha, a 26-year old resident of Rafah, was among those asked by the military to evacuate his house by Wednesday morning.
Agha told Mada Masr the evacuations will not help the war on terrorism, and therefore must be motivated by other factors. According to unconfirmed rumors about compensation that are being circulated in the area, the amount he would get for his three-storey house, on 400 meters of land, would not be enough to buy new land to build on.
Agha, who refused to evacuate his house on Tuesday, told Mada Masr a military officer banged on his door and said they would demolish his house with him in it, if he didn't evacuate as instructed.
"Do they think that when they take away our houses, people will like them and terrorism will be over? On the contrary, they are creating terrorism by these actions," Agha said.
The buffer zone is planned to extend in length along the 13,800-meter border, 500 meters wide. A canal, 30 meters deep and wide, will reportedly permeate the zone to prevent smuggling between Sinai and the Gaza Strip.
A military source told state-owned Al-Ahram newspaper that the plan aims to protect the lives of innocent civilians in Sinai, as he claims they are being used as live shields by "terrorists … who don't have special markings on their faces; they hit and run, hiding in houses among women and children."
The source added that the evacuation process will cost the state LE250 million.
According to officials in the North Sinai governorate, residents within 300 meters of the border were given an ultimatum to evacuate their homes and move to other locations. A second phase of evacuation will target properties within 500 meters of the border.
The curfew in Rafah was extended to 8 pm on Tuesday to allow residents time to relocate.
On Friday night, President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi issued presidential decree no. 366 (2014), implementing a three-month state of emergency across large areas of North Sinai, including Arish and Sheikh Zuwayed. A curfew from 5 pm to 7 am each day has been implemented until further notice, and violation of the curfew can lead to imprisonment.
Meetings are reportedly being held between military intelligence, governorate officials, and heads of tribes, to decide on suitable compensation for the owners of evacuated properties.
Sinai-bound activist and journalist Mostafa Singer said on his personal Facebook page that he received information regarding compensation rates, placing the value of one square meter of constructed land at LE1200 (US$167). Evacuees will supposedly receive LE300 ($41) monthly for three months to help them rent new homes.
Privately owned Al-Watan newspaper reported that 120 homeowners agreed to the evacuation and demanded compensation on Tuesday morning.
The head of Rafah City Council said tens of homeowners gathered opposite the council building on Tuesday morning to demand a week to gather their belongings and leave their homes.
The evacuation plan follows a series of deadly attacks targeting police and military forces in Sinai that have intensified since the removal of Mohamed Morsi from power last year. The latest attack on the Karm al-Qawadees checkpoint in North Sinai on Friday claimed the lives of at least 33 soldiers and left more than 27 injured. A reactionary military operation launched on Monday resulted in eight deaths among those the Armed Forces identified as terrorists.
A statement made by military spokesperson Mohamed Samir on Tuesday regarding the ongoing security operation reported the deaths of four more members of "jihadi groups" and the arrest of 10, as well as the seizing of weapons and explosives, and the destruction of 33 "terrorist hideouts."
Four smuggling tunnels were also destroyed by the Second Field Army, reaching a total of 1845 destroyed tunnels. Samir said the tunnels served as "one of the main threats to Egyptian national security, and a dangerous gateway for armed terrorist groups into Sinai, providing them with weapons and shelter after attacks on the military and police."
There have been allegations from activists and opposition groups claiming the military has used its war on terrorism to enact a violent campaign against all opposition in the Sinai, often to the detriment of local residents, and with full impunity. Reports from this embattled region are often hard to verify given the lack of independent journalism in the area.

In my quest for physical fitness and mental health, I've made many unexpected discoveries about myself. Did you know my right leg is slightly shorter, if that's even possible, than my left? But none was more shocking than the realization in 2005 that, wait for it, I like running. This is shocking since, for years, I towed the line of an anti-runner. I hike, snowshoe, ice skate, walk, roller blade, bike and swim. I'll play tennis or try beach volleyball or climb a rock wall. But I was adamant, truly obstinate, on the statement that I was not a runner. Asthma, short legs, and even shorter attention span; I had all kinds of excuses.
But on fateful day in a Gold's Gym in Columbia, SC I had a change of pace. Tired of walking on the treadmill, I decided I'd take it up to a run for 60 seconds. And after that first minute I felt inspired to go one more. And another. That first day I ran 10 minutes at a decent pace before my ankles starting screaming and my breathlessness took over. And I was sweating and hot and winded and addicted. Addicted to running as the only form of exercise that has truly ever made me feel love and hate for an activity at the same time.
My running years, as I now call them, began slowly. I eased into it wisely, which is rather unlike me, because the aches and pains I felt warned me not to get too confident. Since that time I've gone through running phases. Phases where I run every day, phases where I run once a week. Phases where I love the treadmill, phases where I can't stand to run inside.
I've learned the joy of running with partners (thanks to Alley, Jess, Sherry and Hilary for making some very long runs seem shorter) to keep me you moving. As some runners say, four feet go farther than two. When you get in the right rhythm, a run with a friend can push you to lengths you would never have reached solo. Any boredom or complacency that comes with running alone is gone when you have a friend to encourage and entertain you. And you you are thinking "I'll be damned if I give out before that bitch does." And you know she's thinking it too, that sneaky little bitch. Which is why trail runs with my sister or long flat stretches in Holland with Sherry are some of the longest runs I've ever gone on. I love those bitches for those runs.

They're a weight loss staple
Citrus delivers tons of juicy flavor with little to no fat, sodium, or calories (an orange has just 45), making them extremely diet-friendly. What's more, research has linked low vitamin C blood levels to higher BMIs, waist circumference, and body fat percentage.
To start incorporating more citrus into your diet, Moore recommends squeezing the juice or grating the zest on chicken, fish, or a salad to instantly boost the flavor. Or try turning the juice into the base for a dressing or sauce (it will brighten up any dish). If all else fails, you can always place a few lemon slices in your water to give it some subtle flavor.

Once again society has proven my theory to be correct. We are a society where ADHD is the normal way of living and people really just do not give a shit. People just do not know what to focus on each passing day. Before I go on I guess I will let you know what ADHD is.
What is Hyperactivity Disorder?
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a condition in which a person has trouble paying attention and focusing on tasks, tends to act without thinking, and has trouble sitting still. It may begin in early childhood and can continue into adulthood.
We are coming off a week that celebrated Donald J. Trump accepting the nomination for President of the United States for the Republican Party. People went crazy that Melania Trump plagiarized a speech which Michelle Obama gave in 2008. I really could care less. We have bigger issues in our Country and we cannot let the media hijack the people's agenda.
Two weeks ago people were talking about two unarmed men being killed by police and today this is just a passing thought. Not once did I hear anyone at the Republican Convention speak about how to unite this real divided Country. All I heard was "us against them". This is not the way to unite. Our politicians need to get it through their heads that we are tired of the same old song and dance. We need real changes and we need to put our differences aside. Even the devil knows that to conquer the earth he must lie to us and unite us against the good. The Republican Party can't even get that one right.
This is the time we really need to focus on our future. Today's decisions will only affect our children's futures. The media will tell you only the things that will increase their ratings, but will never tell the things that matter. Like when I was a chid my mother always said "GET WHAT YOU NEED NOT WHAT YOU WANT." If the media wants you to hear something they will divide and scare their audience. This is the best way to increase the ratings.
I can't express how important it is for people to please focus, really focus on the issues we have in our Country. We are really divided. We need better jobs. We need to stop living in a world of entitlement. We need to connect to one another. We need to bring back the American dream that if you work hard you will get what you need. No more excuses. Let's get rid of the ADHD. Let us make the right decisions in this election cycle.

Mainstream, big-budget action games are known for their excitement and spectacle. Trailers usually have slickly-edited explosions, gunshots, face-punches and more to let you know that you're spending $60 to engage in some virtual action.
"Battlefield 1," on the surface, seems like another one of those games. The World War I variant on the long-running "Battlefield" series has all the same chaotic warfare you'd expect from a huge first-person shooter, but recent footage of the single-player campaign paints an entirely different picture.
Without dancing around it any longer, here's what I'm talking about:
Yes, that is a scene from the single player campaign in which you play as a carrier pigeon. The British tank crew you're a member of is under siege by enemy soldiers and it's up to one heroic bird to deliver artillery coordinates to the other side of the battlefield.
It's a fascinating thing to see in a game that will otherwise be marketed with gunshots and explosions, but it's refreshing. The somber piano music almost makes you forget you're flying around above one of the most devastating events in human history.
It doesn't stop there, though. The opening sequence to the single-player campaign takes players on a crash course through various parts of the European battlefield, with one sequence in particular standing out.
During this sequence, this is what you see each time you die:
It actually gives a name and a date of birth to each otherwise faceless soldier you play as. When you die during this sequence, instead of starting over at the last checkpoint, you just transfer control over to another battlefield grunt and move on.
Again, this is a striking thing to see in a war-themed video game, as most of them treat war as nothing more than an action movie backdrop. It remains to be seen if little details like this will pop up over the course of the campaign in "Battlefield 1," but the game looks more and more intriguing every time I see it.
"Battlefield 1" comes out on October 21 for PS4, Xbox One and PC.

This week I have really taken the time to do things for myself. I am a person that easily gets burnt out from taking on too much and I often feel guilty for dropping classes or feel like I am letting people down. However, I have had a slow week this week and rather than going frantic over admin tasks, I have allowed myself to stop and just be.
Slowing down is what we, as humans, seem to find the hardest thing to do. We live in such a go-go-go society that it is easy to get caught up in the rat race. As a yoga teacher, people seem to assume that I have my life together and I am zen and relaxed all of the time. I can assure you that this is not the case at all! Burn-out as a yoga teacher is incredibly common. At one point I was teaching seven days a week and it was way too much! Teaching yoga is a job which requires a lot of energy and I want to be able to give my students my all but that can really deplete your own personal energy reserves. Now some teachers can handle teaching around 30 classes a week and absolutely boss it, and to those teachers – I salute you! Personally, I can't. I need rest, I need time out. I am somebody who takes on other peoples issues (as well my own) and so having quiet time is a must for me! However, that is often easier said than done!
I continuously preach self-care to my students and friends but ironically I am terrible at caring for myself! This is something I have been really working on this past year – due to being so exhausted by the end of last year that my own wellbeing was at an all time low! I am no where near perfect at this. I still get carried away with work and going out and then make myself ill. Or I will go through a week of eating badly and make myself look, and feel, less than desirable! But there will always be ups and downs and we cannot beat ourself up about it. What matters is that we try to improve our life whenever we can and learn from our mistakes.
So, what have I don't this week to take care of myself? Well, let me tell you!
- I booked in for a haircut – my hair hasn't seen a pair of scissors for about 6 months, so was well in need of a trim! Plus I find the act of someone else washing your hair and making you look nice very soothing!
- I went for a wander in town – I didn't actually buy anything, but it was nice having a potter and aimlessly strolling without any agenda.
- I booked myself in for a massage. I am lucky that the physio I work at offers me a lovely discount and so I finally took advantage of it! I have worked there for nearly a year now and have only just utilised the awesome team they have there! It was blissful and really sorted my shoulders and neck out – the place I carry all my stress and tension!
- I listened to audiobooks. Audiobooks are one of my favourite things and I love having them on in the car. But this week I have made the most of them in the house. Literally just sitting on the sofa with a cup of tea and tuning in.
- I took many, many baths. Get those candles lit, bit of music on and chill out! Or rap a magazine and have a little read when you wash all those worries away.
- Finally, I am going to head out for a pedicure later today and treat my feet to a little TLC.
I know half of these are money based and I am not suggesting that in order to give care for yourself you need to splash the cash but as I rarely do any of these things, it is nice to treat myself once in a while. If you can afford to do so, then do! I don't feel guilty about it! If, however, you are in one of those exciting financial slumps of life currently, then take time to have a bath, read a book, go for a walk or give yourself a home manicure / pedicure / facial – whatever you need! I honestly feel so much better for this week. It has lifted my spirits and it has also been a good reminder that I do deserve these things, I deserve to be looked after.
In short, I need to practice what I preach.

Google Tag Manager (GTM) is Google's free tool for everyone to manage and deploy analytics and marketing tags as well as other code snippets
using an intuitive web UI. To learn more about this tool, visit the official website.
This plugin places the GTM container code snippets onto your wordpress website so that you do not need to add this manually.
Multiple containers are also supported!
The plugin complements your GTM setup by pushing page meta data and user information into the so called data layer.
Google's official help pages includes more details about the data layer.
You can also add your Google Optimize container with the recommended code setup
Some parts of the plugin require PHP 5.6 newer.
PHP 7.0 or newer is recommended.
Please note that PHP 5.6 is nearing its end of life cycle thus it is recommended to upgrade. If you are not sure which version you are using, please contact
your hosting provider for support.
The original GTM container code is divided into two parts: The first part is a javascript code snippet that is added to the
section of every page of the website. This part is critical to enable all features of GTM, and this plugin helps to place this part
Google recommends – for best performance – to place this code snippet directly after the opening
<body> tag on each page.
Albeit not ideal, it will work when placed lower in the code. This plugin provides a code placement option for the second code snippet.
Inherently, WordPress does not offer a straight-forward solution to achieve this, however Yaniv Friedensohn showed me a solution
that works with most themes without modification:
I added this solution to the plugin, currently as an experimental option.
Sites using the Genesis Framework should choose the "Custom" placement option. No theme modification is needed for this theme
however, the Google Tag Manager container code will be added automatically.
Data is provided using the WhichBrowser library: http://whichbrowser.net/
Push data about users' current weather conditions into the dataLayer. This can be used to generate weather-related
audience/remarketing lists on ad platforms and allows for user segmentation in your web analytics solutions:
Weather data is queried from Open Weather Map. Depending on your websites traffic, additional fees may apply:
An (free) API key from OpenWeatherMap is required for this feature to work.
ipstack.com is used to determine the site visitor's location. A (free) API key from IPStack.com is required for this feature to work:
Track users' interaction with any embedded media:
DataLayer events can be chosen to fire upon media player load, media is being played, paused/stopped and optionally when
the user reaches 10, 20, 30, …, 90, 100% of the media duration.
Tracking is supported for embedded media using the built-in oEmbed feature of WordPress as well as most other media plugins
and copy/pasted codes. Players injected into the website after page load are not currently supported.
Fire tags based on how the visitor scrolls from the top to the bottom of a page.
An example would be to separate "readers" (who spend a specified amount of time on a page) from "scrollers"
(who only scroll through within seconds). You can use these events to fire Analytics tags and/or remarketing/conversion tags
(for micro conversions).
Scroll tracking is based on the solution originally created by
Original script:
Google Tag Manager for WordPress can add each dataLayer variable as a Google Ads remarketing custom parameter list.
This enables you to build sophisticated remarketing lists.
To increase website security, you have the option to white- and blacklist tags/variables.
You can prevent specific tags from firing or the use of certain variable types regardless of your GTM setup.
If the Google account associated with your GTM account is being hacked, an attacker could easily
execute malware on your website without accessing its code on your hosting server. By blacklisting custom HTML tags
and/or custom JavaScript variables you can secure the Tag Manager container.
Google Tag Manager for WordPress integrates with several popular plugins. More integration to come!
duracelltomi-google-tag-manager-for-wordpress to the
/wp-content/plugins/ directory
Tutorials for various Google Tag Manager settings and implementation are available on my website:
PayPal and some other 3rd party payment gateways do not redirect users back to your website upon successful transaction by default.
It offers the route back for your customer but it can happen that users close the browser before arriving at your thankyou page
(aka. order received page). This means that neither Google Analytics tags or any other tags have the chance to fire.
Enable auto-return in your payment gateway settings. This will instruct them to show a quick info page after payment
and redirect the user back to your site. This will improve the accuracy and frequency of tracked transactions.
Although Google recommends to blacklist tags and variables using classes, people struggle to know
which tags/variables gets affected. Therefore I opted for individual tags and variables rather than classes
on the blacklist tabs.
Regarding variables; ensure they are not part of any critical tags as blacklisting such variables will render said tags useless.
Google Tag Manager supports basic scroll depth tracking based on percentage or pixels natively. This plugin adds
additional scroll tracking events, more focused on capturing the users' intent and/or engagement.
There are five dataLayer events you can use in your rule definitions:
timeToScroll dataLayer variable stores duration since the article loaded (in seconds)
timeToScroll dataLayer variable updated
timeToScroll dataLayer variable updated
readerType dataLayer variable
Example use cases: using these events as triggers, you can fire Google Universal Analytics and/or Google Ads remarketing/conversion tags
to report micro conversions and/or to serve ads only to visitors who spend more time reading your content.
This is easily managed through GTM itself. If you want to exclude logged in users or users with certain user roles,
use the corresponding dataLayer variable (visitorType) and an exclude filter in Google Tag Manager.
By default the plugin places the iframe tag in the footer of the page. To change it, go to the plugin's admin section
and select "Custom" from the placement settings. Unless you use the Genesis Framework theme, you will also need to
edit your template files.
Go to
wp-content/plugins/themes/<your theme dir> and edit
In most cases you will find the opening
<body> tag here. If you can not find it, contact the author of the theme and
ask for instructions.
Create a new line right below the
body tag and insert this line of code:
<?php if ( function_exists( 'gtm4wp_the_gtm_tag' ) ) { gtm4wp_the_gtm_tag(); } ?>
Be careful not to place this line within any
<article> tags.
It may break your theme.
There is also an option named "Codeless" which attempts to place the container code correctly
without additional theme tweaks. It may or may not work, this is an experimental feature, use it accordingly.
Currently WordPress has two 'commands' or 'hooks' that a programmer can use: one for the
<head> section and
one for the bottom of
<body>. There is no way to inject any content after the opening
<body> tag without manually
editing your template files. Fortunately some theme authors already resolved this so in some cases you do not need
to edit your template.
I suggest that try the Custom placement (easiest) and use Google Tag Assistant Chrome browser extension to check
whether the container code is placed as expected. If it shows an error, go ahead and edit your theme manually.
It is a Facebook limitation. Click event tracking is only available for html5/xfbml buttons.
If you or your social plugin inserts the Facebook buttons using IFRAMEs (like Sociable), it is not possible to track likes.

Job Discussion Forums Forum Index -> Argentina View previous topic :: View next topic Author Message sebaileyJoined: 17 Nov 2004Posts: 10Location: USA Posted: Thu Nov 18, 2004 10:22 pm Post subject: Do I need certification? Truly, people, truly... Do I need a fancy $1500 certification to work as an English teacher in Argentina? If so, which is the most asked for by schools there? I will be a college graduate and will have some experience teaching ESL by June when I really gotta get out of the States (four more years my #%[email protected]). Let me know what you think, from the comments I've read Argentina seems very affordable but at the same time pretty lucrative for teachers who can live somewhat on the cheap. Thanks, Sarah Bailey Back to top Whitney DaviesJoined: 01 Jun 2004Posts: 23 Posted: Fri Nov 19, 2004 9:50 am Post subject: I currently teach in Madrid, but after almost 2 years of wonderful Madrileña life I thought of going back home then I realized why not make use of my improved Spanish? You see when I got to Madrid my Spanish was close to "nulo", (nothing!) and now I´m quite confident , well I have to be after almost 2 years here! So to cut the story short, I´ve decided to try Argentina, BA to be more specific and because I´ve been there once before I think it will be nice to teach there as well. With the question about certification, I WOULD recommend having one, the market in Madrid and I believe also in BA is getting more choosy, because with all the economic crisis here there and everywhere most "academias" do not want to risk their clients on untrained native English speakers ie: US, UK, Canada, passport holders. Maybe many, many moons ago our passports would have been enough, but now the selection is not that easy. Of course other things like previous work experience (not necessarily in teaching), other languages would help but having a TEFL cert in my opinion is a must. In Madrid, the certified guys also get higher rates (that´s speaking from experience!). So advice: get certified but make sure your school really trains you well, don´t get fooled by fancy sounding titles, and most especially ask the school what type of job help they give after the course. It is important that they have a good job help program. Most "academias" want a certified, personable and confident tecaher at job interview time. Oh yes just for the record, I am American . Good luck, and teaching english in Madrid has been great so far and I´m sure I´ll be fine in BA as well. Suerte! If you want more info send me a PM. whitney Back to top faithmJoined: 09 Nov 2004Posts: 2 Posted: Fri Nov 19, 2004 4:58 pm Post subject: no c Hi, I just wanted to report that I just got a job in BA teaching english for an institue that teaches in companies and they didnt care at all that I didnt have a certificate or a working visa. It wasn´t easy getting a job though, I had been looking for a few months. Back to top Whitney DaviesJoined: 01 Jun 2004Posts: 23 Posted: Fri Nov 19, 2004 5:47 pm Post subject: that´s exactly what I mean , who wants to wait months before they find a job? I did my TEFL course (intensive) for 4 weeks. I was interviewing the Monday after I graduated ( course finished on the Friday before) and I was working the same week I first interviewed. Now, this doesn´t mean I´m so goood, all it meant was like many of my classmates, we were working right away because our TEFL school had an excellent job help program which meant they had contacts with language schools who were just waiting to interview us. You see the language schools are put in contact with us at no cost to them. They are even guaranteed that we are already trained so really the TEFL school is doing them a favor. Training the teachers, putting them into contact with the language schools for FREE! I´m not selling my TEFL school to anyone. I´m just a teacher and loving every bit of it. I´m not into PR or Advertsing (no thank you!), but I don´t mind speaking nicely about my TEFL school because without them I don´t think I would have worked straight off. When I go to BA, I will use their job search help once again, it´s a lifetime deal, so they will put me into contact with the schools in BA or in China! For the moment I´ll stick to the Spanish speaking countries! My classmates and I got the phone calls, we weren´t the ones calling. The calling we did was to follow up on missed calls or to arrange an appointment in answer to the "academia´s" call. So in a way we were spoilt for choice, at least I felt that way. Speaking for myself, I think that´s the extra benefit of a certificate. Most importantly I wanted to get some type of training before I went out to teach because I had no idea of teaching. I went out there feeling confident. I was prepared to explain the difference between First, Second, Third conditionals, what exactly are phrasal verbs, business english, etc, etc! And yes my advanced class at a big telecommunications company in Madrid asked me to explain the difference, and I believe I got away with it, you see I´m still their teacher after 2 school years! I also chose my TEFL school for the job search program they offered which proved to be an excellent one. Of course you will find schools hiring teachers without certificates but in my case I wanted my school to put me in touch with 100+ "academias" (ok, not all the 100+ schools will call you! ) so I could do the choosing, not the other way around. So to all you guys heading for Tango land, ¡Suerte a todos! whitney Back to top Guy CourchesneJoined: 10 Mar 2003Posts: 9650Location: Mexico City Posted: Fri Nov 19, 2004 7:31 pm Post subject: another point of view Just to change the focus a bit... One should consider the students point of view as well when considering getting TEFL training (or similar) or not. Students in developing countries often pay quite a bit, relatively speaking, for classes and teachers. They fully expect to get a trained teacher, not just some native-speaker. These students often invest a lot of their time and resources into learning English, which is very often the only wy they can increase their earnings, or support their families. I know it's nice for us foreigners to be able to travel where we like and get teaching jobs without really deserving them, but a lot of damage can be done for having that benefit...for simply having the luck of being born in an English-speaking country Back to top sebaileyJoined: 17 Nov 2004Posts: 10Location: USA Posted: Sun Nov 21, 2004 4:12 am Post subject: Thanks... Thank you all for your replies, and thanks especially to Guy for his reminder of what it's all about. I certainly plan to get a certificate having researched things a bit more, but does anyone know which cert is most asked for? It seems to me that the CELTA program is the most widely accepted, so that's what I'm looking into now. Whitney, if you wouldn't mind a bit more selling, I would love to know which school you attended for your TEFL certification. Once again, thank you all so much, Sarah Back to top Whitney DaviesJoined: 01 Jun 2004Posts: 23 Posted: Mon Nov 22, 2004 2:34 pm Post subject: To follow the line of giving the students what they paid for, in terms of giving them quality English language training programs, to meet their goals ie: better paying jobs, better opportunities, steady income to support their familes, etc., why do you think I got myself trained ? I could have gone out to Buenos Aires (I know I´ve been there!), contacted language schools who couldn´t care less if I was trained or not, merely intrested in the fact that I was "native" or just put my ad in "tablones" and just went about teaching. I could have done the same thing in Madrid, but as I said earlier, I wanted to go out there feeling ready, confident and most importantly that I knew my stuff and as such be of help to my students. In fact as I had no prior teaching experience, I knew it was my responsibilty to get myself trained! In response to this statement : "I know it's nice for us foreigners to be able to travel where we like and get teaching jobs without really deserving them, but a lot of damage can be done for having that benefit...for simply having the luck of being born in an English-speaking country" Why do you think I got myself trained? And by the way who decides who is deserving of a teaching job?? Who decides if I´m giving my students adequate learning programs ?? Am I classified as a foreigner undeserving of a teaching job in BA or Madrid? My decision to get myself trained and not merely capitalize on my US passport or on English being my mother tongue should tell you something on how serious I am about this profession. You see I know what I give my students, grammar, esp (not extra sensory powers, more like english for special purposes), planning, preparation and the dedication in helping them attain their career goals. Of course I see the world via my wages as an English teacher but what´s wrong with that? As long as I know that I give my students my best then who is being shortchanged? You see I´m just an English teacher enjoying the world outside of the good ol´USA and learning a lot about other cultures along the way. Sorry can´t do the used car sales person tactics, tit for tat one often comes across in these forums! Now of course if I had to attend a particular school to be deemed deserving, competent and prepared, then I rest my case. A todos, suerte! whitney Back to top sebaileyJoined: 17 Nov 2004Posts: 10Location: USA Posted: Mon Nov 22, 2004 9:47 pm Post subject: but where??? Whitney, I would appreciate you telling me where you got your certification. You speak so glowingly of the school and its resources, I would love to find out where you studied.
