The actor, who has been chanting "He will not divide us" into a live camera since Friday's presidential inauguration, was charged with misdemeanor assault after pulling the scarf off an unidentified 25-year-old man outside the Museum of the Moving Image in Queens, N.Y. It's not clear what provoked the confrontation.
Police said LaBeouf scratched the man's face, although he refused medical attention.
It was not immediately known if the actor retained an attorney for his latest bout of trouble with New York police: In June 2014, he was arrested for being drunk and disorderly and lighting a cigarette in the theater showing Cabaret.
The New York Post reported LaBeouf was released Thursday shortly before 4 a.m., outside the 114th Precinct, and published a picture of him with his hand raised in a two-finger "rock-on" gesture. LaBeouf shouted, "We will not be divided!", waved to a handful of supporters and jumped into a green cab.
Videos posted on social media show LaBeouf returning to the site before sunrise to resume chanting.
He faces a misdemeanor assault charge and is due in court April 4.
The livestream's website, created by LaBeouf and two collaborators, invites passersby to join the 24-hour-a-day, 4-year endeavor and stop by the Museum of the Moving Image "to deliver the words 'He will not divide us' into a camera (mounted on an outdoor wall).…repeating the phrase as many times, and for as long as they wish." LaBeouf has been a frequent, though not constant presence.
Despite the project's mantra, LaBeouf told the Associated Press that it wasn't technically just about opposing Trump.
"We're anti-division out here. Everyone's invited," LaBeouf said in a Monday interview captured on the video stream. "I'm just saying, 'Be nice to each other.'"
It was unclear whether the camera captured any of Thursday's early morning confrontation, but it did show the aftermath, including LaBeouf being handcuffed and led off by police.
Since the art installation began, the cameras have shown him getting aggressive with some participants. In one instance, he shoved a man who said "Hitler did nothing wrong."
In the moments before his arrest, he issued a plea into the camera.
"Hey, be nice. Everybody be nice down here, man. Just be nice! That's the only requirement. Be nice!" he said. "That's all I ask. Be nice. Pro this, pro that. Cool. But be nice."

Cops release Shia LaBeouf after anti-Trump clash
Flashing a defiant "rock on" sign, actor Shia LaBeouf emerged early Thursday from a Queens police station, where he was released after allegedly slugging a man at an oddball anti-President Trump protest.
"We will not be divided!" he proclaimed at around 3:45 a.m. outside the 114th Precinct, waving to a handful of supporters, and then hopping into a green cab.
The "American Honey" star was performing his "He Will Not Divide Us" protest at the Museum of the Moving Image in Astoria when he allegedly grabbed at the scarf of a 25-year-old man, "causing a scratch to the man's face," then pushed him to the ground, police told Reuters.
Cops arrested LaBeouf about 12:30 a.m. Thursday on suspicion of misdemeanor assault and harassment.
The alleged victim did not ask for medical treatment, and remained at the scene, police said.
A video taken from the performance, going on outside the Museum of the Moving Image, shows LaBeouf being apprehended in the background.
In an earlier video, a man approaches LaBeouf and embraces him before strangely shouting, "Hitler did nothing wrong."
LaBeouf then appears to shove the man before the camera pans away. It was not clear if this was the same incident for which LaBeouf was arrested.
The actor was released on his own recognizance.
LaBeouf has stationed himself outside the museum since Trump's inauguration as part of a participatory public art project that he and two partners intend to run throughout Trump's presidency.
Members of the public are invited to join the livestreamed performance.
LaBeouf told the Associated Press this week that the project was not anti-Trump but rather "anti-division."
"I'm just saying, 'Be nice to each other,'" he said.
LaBeouf recently wrapped shooting on Janus Metz Pedersen's "Borg/McEnroe," a drama chronicling the 1980 Wimbledon final between Bjorn Borg and John McEnroe. LaBeouf plays McEnroe.
Shia LaBeouf arrested on live stream after an apparent altercation
Actor Shia LaBeouf was arrested Wednesday evening during his live-streamed protest project against President Donald Trump. The Associated Press reports that LaBeouf was detained after he "allegedly got into an altercation with another man," pulling the man's scarf and scratching his face. The Guardian says the arrest was made on Wednesday evening.
According to the AP LaBeouf faces a misdemeanor assault charge, but it's not clear exactly what the cause of the altercation was. It's possible it involved someone attempting to provoke LaBeouf, with a fan account of He Will Not Divide Us project, @HWNDUS, shared a clip that allegedly shows the incident that led to the arrest.
In it, a man in sunglasses poses with LaBeouf to take a video together. The unknown individual puts his arm around LaBeouf and then says "Hitler did nothing wrong." LaBeouf shoves him away and the man responds: "Hey, why did he attack me?"

Butternut Squash Hummus
My friend Sonja requested this recipe as soon as I served it to her a few nights ago, and then my cousin Rachel asked for it when I told her about it. All three of us will be putting it out as a nibble before our Thanksgiving feasts, with carrot and celery sticks and blue tortilla chips as dippers.
I like butternut squash more than pumpkin, and had half a squash in the fridge, so I roasted it to intensify its sweet, earthy flavor. Simply puree canned beans and the squash with fresh lemon juice and tahini (ground sesame seeds- available at most grocery stores). The finishing touch: more garbanzos that are sautéed until crispy and then mixed with fresh herbs, and extra-virgin olive oil.

My First Urban Sketchers Meetup (Wes Douglas)
It was one of the coldest days at the beginning of 2013…January as I remember. I took the Metra West line train into Ogilvy Transportation Center and walked to the Chicago Cultural Center (the former Chicago Library on Washington and Michigan Avenue). Gosh it was cold but I made it. And when I entered the south entrance and walked up the stairs, I met Alex Zonis for the first time and recognized her immediately from her Facebook picture. She said "Welcome to Urban Sketchers and there are lots of us here. If you see someone sketching, it's probably one of us."
But let's back up about a month. How did I come to walking 10 blocks in 15º F cold to join up with Urban Sketchers Chicago? In December 2012, I walked over to the Elmhurst Public Library from my office to check out the new book section (as was the habit of mine during my lunch breaks).
The library is only a block away so it was good exercise. Scanning the creative book section, I stumbled upon a book called "The Art of Urban Sketching." By now, many people are very familiar with it but at the time this book was new to me. I come across books on sketching all the time and I even seek them out. But this book caught my attention and realized that I was learning a new term, "urban sketching."
With the background noise of a woman on her laptop hammering on her keyboard as if she was a percussionist in a rock band (sketch shown on the left), I flipped through the sketches from various artists and learned about the existence of the global community. Then I went to the website and noodled around there until I noticed that off to the right were local chapters listed. I clicked on the link for "Urban Sketchers Chicago" and found the Facebook group page. Then I asked to "join."
Only a few days later did I receive notice that I had been accepted into the group. I do not recall if Alex Zonis herself had responded to me but she was and has always been the face that I recognized from my first encounter with the group.
Since I had been sketching most all of my life, sketching scenes from my life were already embedded into my daily habits. I merely continued sketching random scenes that appealed to me but with a new focus on paying attention to only those scenes that were directly in front of me. And I became a prolific poster of my sketches to the USK Facebook group.
Then I found out that this Chicago chapter meets once a month at various locations around the Chicagoland area and the next one was scheduled for the Chicago Cultural Center on Michigan Avenue. "What? You mean I can actually meet real, live people from a Facebook group? Does that even happen?"
As a matter of fact it does happen and it continues to happen for urban sketchers every year, every day.
Now back to that bitter cold day in January. I walked around the Chicago Cultural Center and noticed the sketchers that Alex had told me about – some in clusters sketching together and some by themselves, alone in a corner. All of them were busy sketching and little to no conversation took place.
I think I had envisioned that these get togethers were going to be like workshops where artists were collaborating, laughing, having fun and enjoying each others' company. But then I had to remind myself that these were artists and artists tend to be quiet, focused people who, like me, have trouble sketching and talking at the same time. And I was ok with that.
At the end, when all of the urban sketchers were invited to meet back at one of the entrances to share what they had sketched, it was then that I realized the magic of this group. I was able to see how many people had shown up and braved the cold on this God-forsakenly cold day in order to do what they enjoyed best with other like-minded individuals. And to have the ability to see such a range of talent and working styles opened my eyes to the true benefits of being a part of such a wonderful community.
And to top of this already wonderful experience, Alex Zonis and Mary Lanigan Russo had asked me to consider being a correspondent of this group. This essentially allowed me to be a regular contributor to this USK Blog. I thought it would be fun. The rest, as they say, is history.

Minister for Emergency Services Tony Piccolo needs to front angry CFS volunteers who will protest on the steps of Parliament House today and explain why he is attacking their agency.
"Emergency Services volunteers have been politely warning Minister Piccolo for months that his plans to restructure the CFS, SES and MFS is a recipe for disaster," said Shadow Minister for Emergency Services Duncan McFetridge.
"Minister Piccolo has totally ignored those repeated warnings and the CFS will now descend on Parliament House to ensure all South Australians understand just how foolish the Minister's plans are."
The Country Fire Services Volunteers Association has made it quite plain that it is vehemently opposed to Minister Piccolo's foolish plan:
The CFSVA views the Weatherill Government's actions as an assault on the CFS and its 13,500 professional fire and rescue volunteers who regularly risk their lives to keep our state safe.
The CFSVA does not accept the Minister's actions and flawed process and will vehemently oppose any attempts by the Weatherill Government to bring about this unsupported sector reform. (CFSVA : Media Release 24th January 2015)
"It's hard to imagine a more poorly handled consultation process but the Minister's recent backflip on providing adequate cancer compensation for CFS volunteers should give Emergency Services volunteers hope of prevailing," Mr McFetridge said.
"Minister Piccolo needs to immediately suspend the recruitment of a single Commissioner for Emergency Services and resume genuine negotiations with the CFSVA.
"Minister Piccolo needs to understand that the Chief Officers of the CFS, SES and MFS won't be the only ones facing the sack if this process fails."

The first time I watched this movie, I did not pick up on any gay undertones.
I know a lot of guys who throw words around like "fag and "homo" and none of them are gay.
But my sister watched the movie and when she called me, the first thing she told me was that Costello and Colin are gay or at least had a gay relationship.
Naturally I didn't see how she made that connection but... my sister reads a lot of books and picks up on cues. Like when she watched Thomas Crown Affair, she immediately figured out who the girl/imposter painter was. She says good writers don't have random useless characters and dialog. There is usually intent and motives in all of their words.
So as far as Costello and Colin go:
Watch how they communicate. Remember when Costello is on the phone and when he gets off, his lady makes a joke about him being gay because of his foul homophobic language? And he gets really mad? Then she tells him she will straighten him out?
Or how Colin is impotent.
And how Costello was making fun of Colin and his relationship with the shrink. Colin says Costello called at a bad time. Most assume it's because he was kissing the shrink and to a degree, that is right. My sister says it is because Colin can't come off as straight when he has to talk to Costello.
And in the adult film theatre... Colin says he isn't surprised Costello owns the place? Because he is aware of how perverted Costello is. And in the same scene, he pleads with Costello to believe that he is really good at lying. And then says Costello should KNOW how good he is at lying, because they keep their relationship a secret.
I was having this debate with a friend and I decided to see if there were any ramblings of this in the IMDB forums as proof.
Anyway, watch the movie again, like I just did on FX and think about those two and then watch how they meet each other, and how they communicate.
Read more here at IMDB!
And for the record, I have nothing against gay people. I just thought this was fascinating because I didn't catch it and then my sister mentioned it. You thought?

So a few weeks a go I wrote a post introducing bitcoin and gave a fairly rudimentary explanation of what it is and where it comes from. In fact, a couple of things I mentioned were not completely accurate because, I was, and still am, learning about the currency, but I have a pretty good grasp of it now, even if I am not totally au fait with all the technological jargon.
I mention it again as things are moving along and hopefully, by next month, we shall have our app (initially for the iPhone but with an Android version following soon after.)
As a recap, bitcoin is the decentralised, virtual currency, which is transacted over the internet. It has no central authority controlling it so is transferred person to person without any middlemen charging fees or taking a percentage cut of every transaction. It also means it can be used anywhere in the world with no currency exchange costs. It is managed by a peer-to-peer, global computing network. These computers use specially-designed hardware called miners, to crunch away at complex algorithms. Once they have decoded a block of data, bitcoins are issued and this is the way bitcoins are released into circulation. They are held in digital wallets on the internet. There is a predetermined release rate of bitcoins and the bitcoin algorithm can increase in difficulty so even if more and more people start mining for the currency, the market won't be flooded with bitcoins. By 2040, all the bitcoins will have been mined.
The fact an increasing number of people are becoming interested in bitcoin is because for small businesses in particular, it offers a lot of benefits. The lower fees and ability to do business internationally without worrying about currency exchange rates are just a couple of advantages. Due to the finite number of bitcoins that can ever exist, it is also inflation-proof and so people who own bitcoins know it cannot be devalued. Then there is the ease of using it, for anyone with access to the internet or a smart phone can transfer bitcoins from one bitcoin address to another quickly and securely.
The currency was created by an unknown, enigmatic individual or group of people, known as Satoshi Nakamoto in 2009. Many of the bitcoin evangelists describe themselves as financial libertarians, that's not to say they are all anti-state or anti-government, but they do want control over their own money and an alternative to their fiat savings, which are being continually debased and devalued over time.
The owner and founder of BitScan asked me to get involved a few weeks a go and in that time, as well as helping out with some of the elements to the app, future web content and getting my head around bitcoin, I have been writing features for the BitScan features blog. It has been an interesting endeavour, in particular due to some of the people I have met and interviewed. These vary from a Cumbrian taxi driver to a bitcoin miner to various entrepreneurs within the bitcoin world. It is a world that might be relatively small but it is growing. Right now it feels as if those in the know are on the brink of something, which could be potentially huge. Similarly to the Internet all those year's a go when the nay-sayers all said it would never take off, bitcoin is not only a currency, but a whole concept, which can take some time to understand and accept.
It will probably never exist alone and maybe never become the primary, global currency, but as growing numbers want a bite of the bitcoin apple, it could well become a much more mainstream and viable option to other fiat currencies. For a start, one economist has declared it should be the national currency of Iceland.
One article on this is here: http://www.coindesk.com/why-iceland-should-use-bitcoin-as-its-national-currency-btclondon/
A video showing some of his talk is here: http://bitcoinviews.com/bitcoin-london-2013-sveinn-valfells-should-iceland-adopt-bitcoin-as-its-national-currency/
Now on to us!
Our own website can be found by clicking here – take a look and see what you think. At the moment, it is all very new and we are developing a proper, integrated blog and website, which will come in due course. Rob's analysis of bitcoin's performance on the markets is proving a big hit and my Features blog can be found via the main home page or here.
Finally, I pitched one of my features to Coin Desk, one of the main bitcoin news sites, and it was their top story when it was published on Friday and still in their Most Popular and Must Read lists. It also got a big mention in their weekly roundup. It is a great story about the youngest bitcoin entrepreneurs, bees, honey and bitcoin! You can find a link to that story on our features blog here: http://bitscanfeatures.blogspot.com.au/2013/07/lifes-sweet-with-bitcoin.html
So there you go, take a look and if you are particularly interested in how bitcoins are released (or mined) and how that all works, I wrote a feature on it recently, which hopefully cuts through too much technical jargon!

By the beard of Jeff Bridges, this can't be real?
We're very happy to say this is not only real, but road legal. It even packs electroluminescent lights for the full Tron effect, and maximum nighttime attention seeking. With all that illumination, it's probably safer than a normal bike – in fact all bikes should look like this, for health and safety reasons.
What's the catch? It's really slow and battery-powered right?
Wrong again, this bad boy is packing a huge 996cc 4-stroke Suzuki engine. On top of that, its steel frame is covered in light fiberglass cowling and hubless wheels for the shape so there's very little to slow you down. Thank God there won't be any glowing walls appearing in front of you in reality.
I want, I want, I want.
Before you get ahead of yourself, bear in mind that cornering isn't easy, you'll be riding it virtually horizontally and getting a light-up suit to match won't be easy. Oh, and it costs US$55,000 from Hammaacher.

Whether it's shoes, furniture, or surfboards, these startups are showing that customising is king. Just Ride It is a Melbourne startup proving that the model works for bikes, too.
The concept of a smart bike has been around for a few years, with smart tools ranging from a pedal that works as a basic fitness tracker to monitor distance travelled through to expensive e-bikes fitted with control screens and USB ports to help cyclists charge their phones as they ride. A Canadian startup has come up with a tool that sits somewhere in between: the SmartHalo.
A university student from Sydney is reintroducing pedal power on a budget to help reinvigorate the joys of sustainable transport in Australia. The startup's founder, Yexin Liu, who is a bicycle fanatic himself who believes that Nixeycles has the potential to tap into the budget-conscious riders in Australia's expanding cycling community.

Russian Здравствуйте. Я делаю первые шаги в эко покраске.Набрала разных листиков, добавила ржавого железа и варила пол часа. Но получилось очень бледно. Хочу найти где-то книгу или инструкцию по покраске.ReplyDelete
James, you're a star. Wish I were there. Your expertise is a great takeaway.ReplyDelete
Thanks you, Tatiana & Terriea. Tatiana, you may purchase India Flint's book Eco Colour. It has great instructions. It is however, in English. You may have someone nearby who can translate for you. I recommend not opening your bundles quickly. The longer you leave, them, the better your prints may be. Try for a week at first then try longer. Do not cook too long, or you can destroy color.ReplyDelete

An afternoon thunderstorm had just rolled through. The dry, mountain air held the perfect hint of humidity, and a cool breeze swept through the sheer curtains, begging me to set aside unloading the dishwasher to instead curl up on our patio chair's deep red cushion and read. Or scroll through Instagram. Or listen to a podcast. Or simply sit, uninterrupted.
And it was as I dreamt of neglecting my duties that I couldn't help but notice them. They were everywhere. They being what seemed like just about everyone and their mom, galavanting about freely. Unchained and untethered, they were riding bikes and jogging and strolling along with fingers interlaced. At 7:08pm on a picture-perfect summer evening, they were living life without bounds, and they were clearly rubbing it in my face. They were showing off, oh-so-rudely reminding me that I could only travel as far as the baby monitor's reception would allow, which realistically isn't even a foot beyond the sliding glass door that leads to our inviting back porch.
So there I stood, country music playing in the background (softly, of course, so as to not wake the sleeping babe), unloading an absurd amount of tiny silverware and feeling a whole lot like the outcast. A wannabe. An outsider. I was trapped within the confines of my home like a prisoner, and yet, I'd chosen this life without hesitation. I planned it, in fact. I longed for it, dreamt about it, and then, when it happened, I waited with bated breath for those nine months in almost unbearable anticipation of motherhood.
This season of motherhood, though, the one with little littles – it's teeming with sacrifice. Bedtime routines interrupt the occasional, long awaited dinner party. Oftentimes I turn down that friend wanting to meet at that restaurant for lunch because I'd rather not deal with a toddler screaming, "I want down!" while a teething baby gnaws on the edge of the table. Maybe tomorrow, but I'll pass for today, thanks. It means having to squeeze weekend activities into the small pockets of time between naps. It's having to get a babysitter in order to enjoy a genuinely relaxing meal, and then having to pay for that babysitter. On top of the price of the dinner. Ouch. And it's watching the world rush by without a care as you cram miniature forks into the silverware drawer.
It can be exhausting, this sacrifice. Most days I feel like I do a whole lotta pouring with minimal, if any, refilling. I watch as friends and acquaintances and strangers parade about without having to consider the needs of tiny humans; tiny humans who aren't so great at conveying those needs and yet are extremely well versed in letting you know when you've failed to meet them. With lots of yelling. And tears.
But, despite the fact that I live in a virtually constant state of sacrifice these days, I've gained infinitely more. The sacrifice – that's the easy part. Tending to the hearts of these two unique, vulnerable little boys that I'm privileged to call "mine," recognizing the preposterous speed at which this is all passing by, and daily questioning whether or not my sacrifices are actually sufficient – that's the hard part.
So I'll settle into this season of motherhood, knowing that it will be long gone all too soon. I'll worry less about the freedom that I'm lacking and more about the lives I've been called to shape. I'll shift my focus to what's happening within the walls of this beautiful home that my husband and I have created instead of what's happening just beyond our fence line.
And I'll keep in mind that each sacrifice I make today is all thanks to having gained the most treasured title I'll ever hold: Mom.

Identity and Difference
Essays on Music, Language and Time
This volume is a collection of essays based on lectures given at the Orpheus Institute in Ghent at various occasions over the last four years.
Two of our five distinguished authors are British, three are Germans. Two are prominent composers and both keen and provocative writers about music; one is a musicologist and daring critic who specializes in contemporary music. There are also two philosophers and Adorno specialists that deal with such fundamental and highly complex matters as music and language, and music and time.
All authors subscribe to the same seriousness of purpose, so that you may find reminiscences of one text in the others, which will make for a fascinating read. Moreover, this book is all about the current state of music, about thinking, speaking, and writing about music in the immediate aftermath of that stirring and fascinating twentieth century.

South Africans "put a stamp on it" for Mandela
JOHANNESBURG - As South Africans poured into Soweto's Orlando Stadium to watch Nelson Mandela's funeral on specially-set up big screen televisions, artist Ronald Thobega was chasing them down with an ink-filled sponge and a rubber stamp. The mourners were happy to let Thobega stamp them on their arms, forehead, cheeks and hands; for about $0.05 a hit, they walk away with a temporary tattoo of Mandela's likeness.
"We love Tata [Mandela]. This is a big day and the tattoo is a nice way to show our love and admiration for him," said Lindy Madau. She bought a green ink-colored Mandela stamp for her left cheek and a second stamp for her 8-year old son Vusani.
"Mandela is our hero. I like his tattoo," Vusani says, as he posed with his mother to show off their new ink.
Thobega says he and another artist came up with the idea of carving rubber tire bits into the likeness of the anti-apartheid hero, after they sold thousands of stamped impressions of pop star Rhihanna outside her South Africa concert hall last October.
Thobega claims he'd sold and stamped more than 10,000 Mandela ink tattoos since the beginning of South Africa's 10-day period of mourning to mark the death of Nelson Mandela.
"It cost us only about three dollars to make the stamp, and everybody loved it," Thobega says. "Earlier this week we sold tattoos outside Madiba's memorial service in Johannesburg. We've traveled to Pretoria, where Mandela lay in state, later in the week. Now we are here in Soweto for the funeral."
On the other side of the stadium, Mandela stamp seller Phillip Mahlangu was also doing good business. The 43-year-old artist says he usually sells stamps of soccer teams like South Africa's Kaizer Chiefs Football Club outside local stadiums.
"I made the stamp from memory. I didn't need a picture," Mahlangu says.
Most South Africans are celebrating the life of Mandela, wearing hats, t-shirts, batiks, jackets, patches and other items baring his likeness. The tattoos have become an important part of that.
"It is temporary. After the service, they can go home and wash it off with water," Mahlangu says.

Soul Rounds are the power source of the Rider's weapons and some of the finishers in Kamen Rider Pecos. They are strange marble sized orbs that have symbol markings on them and glow whenever they are held by a Rider. The Soul Rounds also seem to respond to the emotions of their users by giving them extra power at the cost of being used up such as when Pecos showed his resolve to never give up and the Soul Rounds reacted by upgrading his Rider Machine. They seem to be limited in supply due to being manufactured by 2 run-down machines powered by old car batteries and a steam generator.
Soul Rounds
Sky Soul: A light blue Soul Round with silver winged boot symbol. Gives the Riders energy to execute their respective Rider Kicks
Spark Soul: A silver Soul Round with a lighting bolt symbol inside a bullet symbol. Used for executing a Rider Shooting attack.
Duster Soul: A sandy brown Soul Round with a tornado symbol. The most common of Kamen Rider Pecos's Soul Rounds they are used as time-limited enhancers to the Riders stats and weapons.
Night Soul: A purple Soul Round with a shooting star symbol. Kamen Rider Nile uses these for her weapon attacks.
Ride Soul: A red Soul Round with an orange flaming wheel symbol. Used to enhance a Rider Machine's firepower and speed. It can also be used to execute a Rider Break attack.
Skyrider Soul: A green and red Soul Round with a black Skyrider mask as the symbol. As gratitude for returning his belt to his resting place,the spirit of Hiroshi Tsukuba gave his power to Pecos and Nile during their fight with the Polar Bear Plasmid. The Soul gave them the Twin Sky Drop Rider Kick attack. This power was only used once in episode 13 as it was a temporary power up from Skyrider.
Harvest Soul:Kamen Rider Khabur's Soul Rounds. They are black and dark green in color and have eerie ghostly figure and a white wolf's head as the symbols. Unlike Pecos and Nile,Khabur's are generated by draining the water from Lake Wesson or his victims. They can also be obtained through siphoning the lifeforce of plants,animals and people near him.
Legend Soul Rounds
Legend Soul Rounds are more powerful versions of Soul Rounds that are re-useable and grant the power to access a Rider's final form and weapons. They were created by combining the two Panners together and channeling power from the Earth itself. They are larger than a normal Soul Round and spark with energy when held by a Rider.
Quetzal Legend Soul: A yellow Legend Soul Round that has a black Quetzalcoatl symbol. It is primarily used to activate Kamen Rider Pecos's Ouroboros Form and executes his Venoburst Draw Rider Shooting attack when loaded into the Venomagnum.
Tornado Legend Soul: A grey Legend Soul Round with a white Tornado symbol. The Tornado Legend Soul is an enhanced fusion of the Duster and Sky Souls. It boosts Pecos's speed and power, allowing him to fly through the air and execute his Grande Rapid Draw Rider Kick.
Earth Legend Soul:
Moon Legend Soul:
Fire Legend Soul: A dark red Legend Soul with a firebird symbol. An enhanced Ride Soul that also can be used to give a Rider's weapons the elemental power of fire.
Heaven Legend Soul: A white Legend Soul Round with a gold electrified feather Symbol. It can be loaded into in the Volrusher to activate the Thunder Wing Rush Rider Slash or Thunderstrike Rush Rider Beat attacks or execute the Heaven Spark Rush Rider Kick when loaded into her belt.
Thunder Legend Soul: A forest green Legend Soul Round with a turquoise thunderbird symbol. It activates Kamen Rider Nile's Tempest Form upon being loaded into the belt. It can also be loaded into her Cloud Thrasher to execute the Night Spark Rush attack.
Ocean Legend Soul: An aqua blue Legend Soul Round with a dark blue trident symbol. Summons a wave of water that the Riders can manipulate to wipe out Dorugs or to enhance their attacks.
Kamen Rider Legend Soul: A gold movie-exclusive Legend Soul Round with the symbols of the Kamen Riders. An evolved Skyrider Soul Round that summons the spirits of Kamen Riders from the past. It was used in the film to destroy the Pra'meth war fleet with the All Rider Soul Wave Burst Rider Kick.

A Nauru Opposition MP says the government must come clean about what is happening at the refugee detention camps on the island.
It is believed there are more than 800 people housed in tents in the Australian-run camps.
But the Nauru government, which is officially in charge, will not say how many they are housing nor how many have been found to be genuine refugees.
MP Roland Kun told Don Wiseman this has to change.
ROLAND KUN: There's not been enough information put out by government in terms of general administration of the centre, the processing of asylum seekers and how the government proposes to manage the limitations of the island against the increase in population over projected increase in population. There has not been enough parliament sittings in order that parliament is able to raise the questions and the public will benefit from the answers. So there's just not enough information going out.
DON WISEMAN: This new government was the opposition in pushing for a change back in March, April, May, and eventually came in at the end of May. How many times has parliament sat since?
RK: There's only been two sittings. There was a sitting for the purpose of budget and there was a sitting where the parliament was sworn in.
DW: Is your feeling that this lack of information is because Nauru, the Nauru government, is being told what to do by Australia or is it just an unwillingness on the part of the Nauru government to part with information?
RK: I believe it's an unwillingness. From my experience, the Australian government is quite reasonable in terms of how we made joint decisions, but I think it's largely the government not seeing reason to provide information.
DW: What sense is there that on this tiny island of 21km2 you're starting to feel the pressure of both the inmates in the camp and the hundreds of people there running it?
RK: There's two sides of that impact - there's the economic upside and then there's all the other negative impacts which need to be managed. Our concern at the moment is we need to understand where the management part of it is and that is not forthcoming.
DW: In terms of the negatives, of course, we know that Nauru has for many years had issues with electricity generation and this has become far worse.
RK: It has become far worse and we don't even know why. As I say, we're not even getting information provided. The regional processing centre do have their own back-up power generation that supports the camps, so they probably don't feel it as much as we do or don't feel it at all. But, yes, there's other difficulties in terms of management of services on the island which need to be addressed and which need to be addressed in terms of what's happening with the regional processing centre.
DW: Is there a sense that there's a lot more money in the community now as a result of this camp?
RK: There is definitely a sense of that. There's greater employment and there's greater economic activity. Of course beyond that are other issues which have not crystallised as quickly, unfortunately, because of the fact that there's the economic upside which may blur the other issues, such as waste management and access to services for the larger population.

Questions can lead us to important information. Normally, we ask friends, acquaintances, co-workers questions in loose conversations and without pretense. Without thinking, we just let the conversation flow in an interesting and if possible fun way, generating more and more subject matter. We do not think much in how conversations are formed, as they happen. Associated with curious people, questions are also how children discover the world and how students hone their knowledge when a query arises. They promote interaction and generate information, as they request a response from the party (the person with whom we are talking). As for the use of the rhetorical, the questions do not need any response, and has its use linked to literary speeches, advertising and politicians, among others. In fact, the universe of "questioning" is notoriously large, which does not enable us to explore it fully, so we will stick to the most important points of our context.
Questions can also be excellent allies in the corporate world. They can be used as a tool to bring a team into the light of new ideas, to reflect on points not previously contemplated, and raise discussions that can yield great solutions. In personnel management, the resource of questions can be excellent in feedback, coaching and developing goals. Ask someone if they can do something, and without imposing a task on them, causes the person to assume greater responsibility, after all, they said they could do what was proposed. A correct line of questioning can change strategies, and help define plans for short, medium and long term.
And what to say of questions for learning the profile of the customer? We have before us a great tool to interview the customer even from a distance and become part of their experience, even after completion. Surveys have in their structure questions or inquiries, and ask the respondent to participate. They are used to get to know the consumers, their profile, what they think, what they want, using open and closed questions to address your audience in order to understand their needs and opinions. In this case enable a more detailed look at processes that need to be reviewed, assess changes that have been made recently, measure the quality experienced by the customer, talk about customer service and other essentials. As if they were interviewing each of the people who respond to surveys, managers can understand how they can move forward, change what does not go well, and improve their results.
What else needs to be thought about is that, to get good answers, good questions need to be asked. Hiring experts may be essential, so that together they are able to develop scripts that are more suitable to the goals and interests of the company. At this point, we need to highlight important tips to formulate questions that cause people to participate effectively, generating more results:
- Think about what you want to get as a result and the actions that you want to implement from such. Thinking backwards from the result makes all the difference in the preparation of questions and success of the job. It may seem silly, but those who answer will feel that there is an objective, as the language is clear and focused, from the approaching invite to respond to closure;
- Empathy when elaborating questionnaires is very important. Think of how they will understand and behave with the question in front of them may defining point of success of the survey. Another important factor: Always know more about who you want to reach. People have to feel that the company really knows and understands them. In preparing questions, do not underestimate the people who will respond. Never. Prepare questions that will make people interested and identify with the matter;
- The use of more, or less, formal language will also depend on who will respond. But always remember good Portuguese, which is still appreciated and has very clear rules. Also, we cannot mistake less formality with a "simplistic" way of writing. Respect the company's image that will be transmitted when people are responding. Everything has to be well prepared. If the person is not clear on what the question wants to address, is not a good sign;
- Do not think alone in questionnaires. People from the team may have a lot to contribute, from their experiences with customers, suppliers and other partners. Challenging them question one another can stimulate the improvement of the questionnaire. All participation is valid and generates greater identification with company goals;
- The order of the factors makes all the difference. A questionnaire must be carried out according to a natural order of events. Just as buying comes before delivery, questions that permeate the delivery process should be asked at the end, as well as general reviews or if they would recommend the company. By being conclusive questions, putting them in the beginning, disfavors a logical conclusion. These can cause the customer to, at the end, regret what they said earlier and want to change their mind. Such a format is not well prepared.
At the end of the job, surveys filled out should be available in real time and online. Now, index and concept evaluations need full attention. An important point is that a satisfaction survey, for example, is not prepared to be applied only in one month. Normally, it should be an ongoing process that will lead to tangible results, but which measures and enables monitoring for a certain period of time. The ideal is to be able to see the results, responses, effects of applied changes, new hires, projects implemented and be able to compare how it went from the perception of the customers.
Choosing the best format depends on the context of each company. To be able to use questions the best way possible, and that the information is put to use in a complete and productive way. Well, that's the point! Use questions to implement transformations. Good work and success!

Words of Radiance
I can't say enough great things about this book. The problems I had with the pacing of the first book were long gone in this one. Even in the "slower" parts of this book I was still on the edge of my seat dying to find out what would happen next. Every single character grew so much and I can't think of any of the main characters that I don't love now. So much is set up for the future books I cannot WAIT for the next book, ahhh!

Gastric bypass surgery has been the most popular surgical method of losing weight in Cayman, but now a Canadian surgeon is offering an alternative.
Dr. Chris Cobourn spoke to members of the Cayman Islands Medical and Dental Society on Monday night, introducing to them the lap-band alternative.
Using keyhole surgery, the upper part of the stomach is encircled by a band to create a little pouch which can hold 15 to 30 cc.
The interior of the circular band can be inflated by adding saline, which is injected into a tiny reservoir port placed beneath the skin. This can reduce the size of the opening through which food can pass from the small upper stomach pouch into the main part of the stomach.
Patients feel full once the small pouch is filled.
Medical professionals estimate that about 30 people in Cayman have undergone gastric bypass surgery, a procedure that removes a large part of the stomach and by which food bypasses the small intestine.
'Lap-band surgery does not involve any cutting or stapling,' Mr. Cobourn said, showing doctors at the meeting on Monday a video of a stomach undergoing lap-band surgery.
Mr. Cobourn said lap band surgery is suitable for anyone with a body mass index of 35 or above. His average patient is a 45-year-old, 5ft 4in woman, weighing 275lbs and with a BMI of 45.
In his four years of practice carrying out lap-band surgeries, the biggest weight loss he has seen in a patient was in a 575lib man, who now weighs 275lbs.
Mr. Cobourn said 95 per cent of patients who have undergone the surgery at his Surgical Weight Loss Centre in Mississauga, Ontario, lose at least 25 per cent of their body weight over two years.
If doctors begin referring patients to his clinic in Canada, he will need to train medical staff in Cayman to adjust the lap-bands.
This is done by injecting saline into a port attached by a tube to the band, all of which are put in place during the operation.
Mr. Cobourn admitted that lap-band surgery is not for everyone and gastric bypass surgery may better suit patients who do not fully commit to losing weight and who do not have the commitment or ability to follow up the surgery by calling or visiting the weight-loss clinic and getting the band adjusted, if necessary.
If the opening is too big, the smaller pouch at the top of the stomach will not fill up and the food will go straight through the band and the patient would not feel full and would continue to eat. If the opening is too small, it can also cause the patient to gain weight when he or she turns to high calorie items like milkshakes or ice-cream to fill up.
The operation costs approximately $10,000. Gastric bypass surgery can be paid for by insurance companies in Cayman, so medical practitioners here believe they may also cover lap band surgeries.
Mr. Cobourn said that the lap-band procedure works better than gastric bypass because there is no chance of mal-absorption of nutrients.
He said the procedure was also more suitable for women who went on to become pregnant as the band could be adjusted to allow for more food to be digested, meaning their babies were born at normal weight, unlike babies of gastric bypass mothers who can be born malnourished and underweight because vitamins and minerals are not readily absorbed into the body.
'In gastric bypass surgery, there is also the issue of the pouch stretching over time,' he said.
Comparing the two types of surgeries, Mr. Cobourn said: 'Lap-band is more like the tortoise compared to the hare. The weight loss is much more sustained,' he said, adding that patients who have undergone lap-band surgery lose about one to two pounds a week, compared to far more dramatic weight loss with gastric bypass patients.
'Also, there are more complications and much more serious complications in bypass patients,' he said.
Gastric by-pass surgery is far more popular than lap-band in the United States, although this is not the case in most of the rest of the developed world where both surgeries are available. Some 200,000 gastric by-pass operations are carried out in the US every year.

Personally, I believe that once you have made the decision and have actually walked into a martial art school, then that is the best age to start. People begin training for a variety of reasons, improve fitness, rebuild confidence, enhance self-esteem, learn to protect yourself, make friends and a host of other reasons. I have students who have started lessons in their late 30's and 40's and are still training after several years.
If we are talking about children then I believe that kids should be introduced to martial arts training somewhere around 4 or 5 years old. That being said children this age should be introduced into an age-specific program that allows them to have fun and learn while developing the specific skills they need. If they are put into a program that doesn't benefit their abilities they will not succeed and therefore will not enjoy the experience.
I have been involved in martial arts since I was 6 years old, that's about 40 years. I have personally benefited from growing up in the dojo and can see first hand the benefits.
1. Self-confidence and self-esteem. I cannot say that I was ever bullied as a kid or teen. The confidence and esteem I gained in the dojo was with me everyday. In high school I had the confidence to join the student council in grade 9 and successfully run for school president in grade 12. I joined the Canadian Forces Reserves when I was 17. This meant leaving home during the summers to participate in military exercises.
2. Fitness. I was always in good physical condition growing up. When the time came for my RCMP applicant fitness test, I was able to pass without any concerns and attended the academy prepare for the physical rigors of training.
3. Friendships. Growing up in the dojo with a bunch of other kids, I was able to make a lot of friends who shared the same passions as I did. I also many friends at school and work. I think that the confidence I had acquired, allowed me approach people and make friends.
4. Routine and responsibility. I was talking to some of my students recently who expressed how happy they were that they did not have to come to the dojo on Saturday mornings anymore. Their kids are no longer in Saturday classes. When I think back about 40 years I have been training and teaching, probably close to 25 of those years, I have been at the dojo on Saturday mornings. From the time I was 6, till I left home at 20 years old, my classes were Friday night and Saturday morning. When I received my black belt and start to assist in other classes, I was at the dojo anywhere from 4-5 nights a week. My parents always knew where I was.
5. Family bonding. I was fortunate to share my martial arts training with my family, meaning both my father and brother were involved. My father and I were promoted to black belt on the same day and later to masters on the same day. My brother was also a black belt. Martial arts were something that brought us together and still to this day holds that bond. This is now the bond that my son Matthew and I are developing. I am also happy to see many families training in my school.
6. Life experiences. I was lucky to grow up in a school that fostered friendships around the world. I have traveled to many places because of martial arts training, England, Switzerland, Japan, USA and many areas of Canada. I have friends in many of these places and many opportunities to return.
What is the best age to start martial arts training?
Any age is good but if you want to give your child the best opportunity to succeed then the earlier the better.
Parents must commit to their kids learning and training. If you think it is important for them, then make sure they make their classes.
