The commanding officer of the RELICS Control Division of the Endrum Collective, a section of the Alliance Military Force charged with the investigation and protection of RELICS. He is not formally a military officer, so he has no official rank. Above all, he loves to fight, and as a mercenary soldier looking for a battle, he executes his missions for the Endrum Collective faithfully.
He is first encountered near the end of Chapter Three, guarding the entrance to the Relic site. He reconized Warren Daren and demanded that the scientist come to him. When he refused, Magashi activated nanobots that had been previously implanted in his body, killing him instantly. Enraged, Ethan almost attacked him, only to be stopped by Karren. She allowed him to take Daren's body back to base without protest.
His next appearence was when Taylor and his band of rouges hijacked a train carrying technology uncovered from the relic sites. Ethan, Hyuga, Karren, and Headmaster Nav fought the invaders back, but they still managed to make off with half the contents. Magishi was one of the officers that arrived to drive off the rouges. He then entered the train and amolished the group for their failure. When Ethan stood up to him, the irate officer nearly strangled him to death. He expressed hatred for the GUARDIANS and promised that Ethan's next failure would be his last before leaving.
Somehow he tracked down Tyler on Mootab. He went to the rouge in person offering to trade high-priced gems for the A-Photons Tyler had stolen. Magishi, however, had no interest in honoring the deal and activated several giant robots to destroy the base and all inside it, hoping to erase the evidence of his betrayal of the Alliance. While Ethan and the GUARDIANS tangled with the bots, Magishi evacuated the hideout, easily defeating Tonnio on the way.
Phantasy star portable 2Renvolt Magashi was the most powerful open mission boss of this series, on a quest called "Bladed Legacy", There is also a Tech-Mag modeled after him called "Magadoog", it's class is A. He is also the boss of the sidestory mission "Crimson Warrior". He was been improved by [[Emilia Percival|Emilia Percival]] after fighting his memories.
Magishi, like many other CASTS living on the planet Puram, harbors a prejiduce against humans to a point that borders on murderous. He is extremly cold and willing to kill without a second thought, as when he killed Daren and nearly killed Ethan.

This book shows how one Australian woman beat asthma! She gives an account of a unique and simple technique for controlling asthma. Motivated by a desire to cure her own asthma, and help other sufferers, Marian experimented and researched for many years. In 1980, through a misunderstanding, she accidentally discovered her cure for asthma, namely that it was a vitamin A deficiency which had to be taken with vitamin E. Through radio and magazine articles, she spread the news and gained an impressive portfolio of success stories. Here are some excellent case studies & testimonials:

(Copy of Letter)
Date: February 2010
I am a fit forty year old who developed heart issues last year and worked out it was my asthma medication so I have been actively looking for alternatives.
My partner found an old copy of your book when she was at our local shop. I read it with some doubt but took it on anyway.
One month later I haven't needed ANY medication and have been able do very intense exercise sessions in heat and/or rain etc with perfect lung function.
My heart feels great as it isn't full of asthma medication.
My IBS seems to be 50 to 75% better to boot.
Thanks for your wisdom!!
Life is good.

Case Study 2 : Helen
(Copy of Email)
Date: July 2007
My name is Helen. I have a three year old son, Thomas, who last autumn/winter spent quite a few months coughing so hard he would throw up, getting colds which were followed by breathing difficulties. He was diagnosed with asthma last July and he was prescribed ventolin. He would get a cold every two months which would end with a bout of asthma and I would give him ventolin and predmix. I tried to eliminate preservatives, additives, etc out of his diet. I really didn't see any difference at all.
This autumn the cycle started again, only worse. Every morning he sneezes and gets sniffles. A few days of this was enough to set off asthma. He was constantly pale and ate very little.
Two months ago his doctor totally contradicted his treatment and I walked out of his office feeling very confused and unsure of how to treat my son. I started to go down the path of finding a natural treatment. By accident I stumbled across your book in my local chiropractor's office and borrowed it.
At this stage my son had a chest infection and was on antibiotics and my local chemist had suggested I give him probiotics. I also started him on a kids multivitamins which had 2500 iu of vitamin A. Plus I give him some vitamin C. Within days I started noticing a difference.
It has now been four weeks (early days yet I know), but Thomas is a totally different child. He is no longer pale, he barely coughs. He has had sniffles, caught a cold which has led to nothing else and he has almost gained one kg in weight. I cannot believe how something so simple has helped Thomas so much.
Thankyou so much.
Yours sincerely,
Helen Bignell

Hi Marian,
I am so glad to have found you!
I have a 2 year old son, Jimmy, who is a miracle child. I was told at the age of 19 that I could not have children. I spent years and thousands of dollars on IVF to be told that unless I looked at egg donation, my quest for a family was over. 6 years later at the age of 40 I fell pregnant. He truly is a miracle boy. He is a caring, intelligent and extremely active child.
The week before Easter he woke with laboured breathing and a cough. The GP diagnosed croup which was endemic in Darwin at the time. Over the 7 weeks following he has been back and forth to the GP, in an ambulance one night, unable to breathe properly and we have all suffered from lack of sleep and great worry.
He is now on Ventolin up to 8 times a day, a preventer and redipred for those awful times. It gets better with all of these drugs over a few days, but a week later it flares up again with the next runny nose, I am at my wit's end.
He was a healthy child up until this point. He eats nothing but home cooked meals, drinks only water and soy formula that I can't get him off, and has never had preservatives, lollies, junkfood etc. Never had antibiotics, medicines, never thrown up - always a picture of health.
One of the playgroups we attend (I'm a stay at home Mum) had no children suffering from asthma. In the last month there are 4 of us who are going through the same thing with our 2 and 3 year olds.
I borrowed every book in Darwin on the subject from the library and read yours the other day. I wept and wept after reading it. The chance to offer my son a possible alternative was everything to me.
This morning I purchased the vitamins.
Thank you Marian for making such a difference to our confusion and desperation.
Kind regards,
Michelle Parker

Dear Marian,
Wonderful to hear from you...
Now. For the big news that I have wanted to tell you for some time now. You are a miracle worker! I started Jimmy on the A, E and C each day in the latter part of May. He had been unwell for so long. Within a week he was back to his normal self and has not had one sick day with viruses or 'asthma' or anything else ever since. I have spread the message to anyone and everyone within earshot and ordered a few of your books to give to friends.
The absolute confirming proof happened recently. I had been working lunchtimes at the office for about a week 3 weeks ago and had left the preparation of his bottle and vitamins with his Dad. Dad forgot the vitamins and I assumed it was being done. Within 2 weeks his cough was back and the rattle in his chest. Back on his vitamin regime and now he's a picture of health again. I now have full confidence in the Vitamin A deficiency theory and have espoused to everyone that as babies are born with low levels of A, and then our lifestyles mean more and more viruses, they are then stripped of vitamin A. Jimmy is living proof.
I think about you often Marian - in fact every time I add his vitamins to his drink - and I say thank you to you each and every time.
From the bottom of my heart - thank you for giving good health back to my Jimmy.
Kind regards,
Michelle Parker
Case study 4 : Ronald

Dear Marian,
I found your contact details at last searching through the internet. I want to let you know how you made a difference in my life.
My asthma history is the most severe. Having asthma since childhood, initially on Intel (remember the capsule where you use a device to puncture two holes and atrovent and ventolin) but the condition grew worse. I am forty years old now but during my primary school days our family doctor would come at night to give me injections to calm down the wheezing. One time I had to spend one week in hospital on the drip and on hydrocortisone and prendisone (peakflow was only 90). I also needed cortisone for my sinuses (rhinolar) and for the dermatis (celestone V cream). The specialist at the time also started me on becotide, severent spray and Theodor.
About ten years ago I nearly had to go to hospital again. Luckily, the pulmicort and prednisone worked. My immune system was so weak I would get slight asthma three to four time a day and woke up at night every night. My nose would bleed due to the rhinolar and my skin thinned.
About seven years ago, my ex girlfriend, worried about my health, heard from a friend that someone on television said that certain vitamins may be helpful. I went to Dymocks and found your book. Since starting on Vitamin A, E & C for six years my breathing capacity increased from around 30% to 95% this year. I am no longer on any sprays and just one tablet Singulair and of course vitamins.
I am glad that you have kept your deal with God in publicising your cure.
God bless you.
Case study 5 : Darren
(Copy of Letter)
Date: September 1985
Dear Marian,
I refer to your previous letter concerning the use of vitamins in the treatment of asthma. I am most pleased to provide the following information:
1. In 1983 I had cause to visit my doctor because it appeared I had developed an asthmatic problem. The symptoms were brought on by exercise; I enjoy jogging and other forms of exercise. Secondly, as the evening approached my chest would 'tighten' and my breathing would be mainly to and from the top of my lungs.
2. My doctor prescribed Bricanyl and Becotide which I regularly (each day) blew into my mouth.
3. I was somewhat concerned that at the age of 41, I was relying on this form of medication.
4. A friend of ours advised me of a treatment she had read about for the type of complaint I was suffering. (I should say the problem was not a major one but it was uncomfortable at times and the discomfort appeared to be worsening). I had to give up my regular jogging.
5. The treatment I then followed (and still do religiously) involved taking vitamins A, C & E. I also take one aspirin per day on my doctor's advice to assist with keeping my blood thinner than it would be otherwise.
6. I commenced this procedure in 1983 and have had no asthma problems since. In fact in 1983, 84 and this year I ran as linesman around the boundary for my son's Australian Rules football team and can jog for an hour or more with no breathing problems. The cold evening air no longer has any adverse effect on my breathing.
I trust that this information is of assistance to you. Should the researcher wish to talk with me about my use of vitamins, I would be pleased to meet with him.
Best wishes in your endeavours,
Yours sincerely,

Dear India, a simple "thank you" would have sufficed. Your neighbour, Pakistan
"The best lack all conviction, while the worst are full of passionate intensity."
These words from Irish poet WB Yeats' poem, Second Coming, sum up the mood in the subcontinent today.
All the negative forces have ganged up to throttle the voice of sanity. These divisive agents are full of passion and want to preside over the fate of the relationship between India and Pakistan.
We witnessed the worst effect of these negative forces after the meeting between Kulbhushan Jadhav, an Indian spy facing death sentence in a Pakistani court, and his female relatives. The meeting was aimed at breaking the ice between the two nations; it was a humanitarian gesture, no doubt, and the signal Islamabad wanted to send was that lets revive the interaction.
But this was not to be.
The Indian media was playing to a script; they were more interested in sabotaging the effort than appreciating it. They immediately claimed that Jadhav's family was harassed during the meeting and that Pakistan did not respect the cultural and religious norms of the women and made Jadhav's wife take off her jewellery, including her mangal sutra, which is a necklace that married Hindu women wear. Later, they added that Jadhav was talking under duress and that there was "an atmosphere of coercion."
Perhaps the Indian media should answer a simple question: has the Indian government allowed a convicted Pakistani facing death sentence in an Indian jail to meet his mother and wife? Will it not follow some prison manual and protocol in allowing an interaction with an imprisoned man and his relatives? Will it consider a Pakistani spy arrested on Indian soil as a hero or a terrorist?
Islamabad followed its own guidelines in letting Jadhav and his family members interact.
It was always in Pakistan's hand not to allow the meeting to take place at all. We should have been more appreciative of Islamabad's gesture. But on the contrary, New Delhi was more aggressive and acting as a victim.
There were accusations made from Pakistan's end too, as they claimed that there was a chip in Jadhav's wife's shoes which looked suspicious and hence were not returned to her as they have been sent for further investigation. Given the sensitivities of the matter, if it is proven that there indeed was a chip in her shoe, this will be the last meeting between Jadhav and his family. In this case, India would have no one but themselves to blame because it violated Pakistan's trust.
One can always argue that Islamabad should have been more polite, sensitive and aware as to how the whole affair will play out. It should have handled the situation differently. However, as an old watcher of Indo-Pak relationship, I can vouch that no matter how elegantly, nicely or deferentially Pakistan handled this matter, there would have been some controversy or the other.
The problem is that we are hostages to a deep-seated historical paranoia, and as long as we are prisoners of this paranoia, we will remain stuck in the time warp.
It was this sheer paranoia that forced Pakistan to micro-control the meeting between Jadhav and his family. But India – a big country claiming to be a South Asian power house and one of the largest economies of the world – suffers from deep short-sightedness. It's not the progressive politics that informs this emerging power but a regressive worldview that grips it.
The media also reflects that paranoid vision. As a result, what is happening is that we are producing a mass, a generation, which can act as a lynch mob. It is devoid of any historical sense and is highly anti-liberal.
But it is not just the media that is perpetuating hate, but the politicians of India too who have taken it upon themselves to deepen the divide between the two countries just to feed their own agendas. This can be seen by the statement made by a Rajya Sabha MP, Subramaniam Swamy, who urged that it was time that India go to war with Pakistan. This statement came into light after the Indian media accused Pakistan of harassing Jadhav's family.
The way we are behaving, we are making a mockery of ourselves. It's not Pakistan that is insulting us; it is we who are abusing our own ethos, culture and thinking.
The way the situation unfolded after the meeting on December 25th and the way vested interests were allowed to hijack the whole issue and create a war-like situation, shows how the biggest democracy of the world lacks the political and emotional maturity as a nation.
It does not expose Pakistan; it exposes how we are becoming a nation of reactionaries, and how we are becoming a country where lynch mob mentality is becoming our second nature.
Does India really care what is going to be the fate of Jadhav? A persistent hostile relationship will further jeopardise the life of this Indian spy.
With Narendra Modi into the last year of his term, he will use the anti-Pakistan sentiment to reap electoral dividends. He does not have much to show in terms of achievement or progress, the emotional card is a tried and tested formula and the Bhartiya Janata Party (BJP) government will try its best to exploit that.
No wonder the frequency of border skirmishes has increased. The media is helping the government's cause by resorting to divisive propaganda.
Pakistan is also going to face elections in a few months' time, and when election is round the corner, peace is the biggest casualty. And we are witnessing exactly that.

There are numerous ways to structure the code and project for you web application, and you can put as much or as little thought as you like into architecting. But it is usually a good idea to follow to common patterns because it will make your code easier to manage and easier for others to understand.
One of the most commonly used design patterns is the factory pattern. In this pattern, a class simply creates the object you want to use. Consider the following example of the factory pattern:
class Automobile
private $vehicle_make;
private $vehicle_model;
public function __construct($make, $model)
$this->vehicle_make = $make;
$this->vehicle_model = $model;
public function get_make_and_model()
return $this->vehicle_make . ' ' . $this->vehicle_model;
class AutomobileFactory
public static function create($make, $model)
return new Automobile($make, $model);
// have the factory create the Automobile object
$veyron = AutomobileFactory::create('Bugatti', 'Veyron');
print_r($veyron->get_make_and_model()); // outputs "Bugatti Veyron"
This code uses a factory to create the Automobile object. There are two possible benefits to building your code this way, the first is that if you need to change, rename, or replace the Automobile class later on you can do so and you will only have to modify the code in the factory, instead of every place in your project that uses the Automobile class. The second possible benefit is that if creating the object is a complicated job you can do all of the work in the factory, instead of repeating it every time you want to create a new instance.
Using the factory pattern isn't always necessary (or wise). The example code used here is so simple that a factory would simply be adding unneeded complexity. However if you are making a fairly large or complex project you may save yourself a lot of trouble down the road by using factories.
When designing web applications, it often makes sense conceptually and architecturally to allow access to one and only one instance of a particular class. The singleton pattern enables us to do this.
class Singleton
* Returns the *Singleton* instance of this class.
* @staticvar Singleton $instance The *Singleton* instances of this class.
* @return Singleton The *Singleton* instance.
public static function getInstance()
static $instance = null;
if (null === $instance) {
$instance = new static;
return $instance;
* Protected constructor to prevent creating a new instance of the
* *Singleton* via the `new` operator from outside of this class.
protected function __construct()
* Private clone method to prevent cloning of the instance of the
* *Singleton* instance.
* @return void
private function __clone()
* Private unserialize method to prevent unserializing of the *Singleton*
* instance.
* @return void
private function __wakeup()
class SingletonChild extends Singleton
$obj = Singleton::getInstance();
\var_dump($obj === Singleton::getInstance()); // bool(true)
$anotherObj = SingletonChild::getInstance();
\var_dump($anotherObj === Singleton::getInstance()); // bool(false)
\var_dump($anotherObj === SingletonChild::getInstance()); // bool(true)
The code above implements the singleton pattern using a static variable and the static creation method
getInstance(). Note the following:
__construct is declared as protected to prevent creating a new instance outside of the class via the
new operator.
__clone is declared as private to prevent cloning of an instance of the class via the
clone operator.
__wakeup is declared as private to prevent unserializing of an instance of the class via the global function
getInstance() with the keyword
static. This allows the subclassing of the class
Singleton in the example.
The singleton pattern is useful when we need to make sure we only have a single instance of a class for the entire request lifecycle in a web application. This typically occurs when we have global objects (such as a Configuration class) or a shared resource (such as an event queue).
You should be wary when using the singleton pattern, as by its very nature it introduces global state into your application, reducing testability. In most cases, dependency injection can (and should) be used in place of a singleton class. Using dependency injection means that we do not introduce unnecessary coupling into the design of our application, as the object using the shared or global resource requires no knowledge of a concretely defined class.
The front controller pattern is where you have a single entrance point for you web application (e.g. index.php) that handles all of the requests. This code is responsible for loading all of the dependencies, processing the request and sending the response to the browser. The front controller pattern can be beneficial because it encourages modular code and gives you a central place to hook in code that should be run for every request (such as input sanitization).
The model-view-controller (MVC) pattern and its relatives HMVC and MVVM let you break up code into logical objects that serve very specific purposes. Models serve as a data access layer where data is fetched and returned in formats usable throughout your application. Controllers handle the request, process the data returned from models and load views to send in the response. And views are display templates (markup, xml, etc) that are sent in the response to the web browser.
MVC is the most common architectural pattern used in the popular PHP frameworks.

About Jeopardy! Slot Game
Jeopardy! has been played and watched all over the world. It's a much-loved TV game show where contestants can go home with cash prizes if they correctly phrase the question to the answer they've been given. "Chelsea." "Who won the Premier League in 2014/15?" "Correct!" Iconic of American TV in the 80s and 90s, this slot faithfully recreates that quiz show kitsch feel, and even features the original soundtrack. The overall graphics style of the Jeopardy! online slot is reminiscent of the garish sets, so there are plenty of bright blues, yellows and pinks. It's not overcrowded though, and you can still see everything you need for an informed game. The symbols themselves can get a little busy visually, as they represent the various cast of the TV show as well as more traditional symbols.
How to Play Jeopardy! Slots Online
While the Jeopardy! slot machine is a standard five-reel slot, with a generous 40 paylines, it does have a few features that set it apart. The symbols are a mix of the quiz show faces, as well as the emblems for different question topics such as sport, film, science and so on. While the large number of paylines is good for your odds, it's worth noting that it does have a slightly lower return to player ratio than some other slots. That means that if you want to win big, you need to play the bonus mode, activated by an extra bet of 20 coins per game. The bonus modes can bump up your pot though – this is where it makes up for the slightly lower return, as we'll look at below.
Jeopardy! Slot Features, Specials and Symbols
One symbol you'll want to look out for is the wild – this is the name of the game itself: 'Jeopardy!'. One of these on any of your reels gives you a chance at creating even more wilds. These can help you make the winning matches, and can appear on free spins. The 'Bonus' scatters can give you some very good bonuses too (perhaps not surprisingly, given the name). Four scatters on the third column rewards you with a whopping 19 free spins and a 12-times multiplier. As you can see, while the standard returns could leave you feeling a little disappointed, sticking around for the bonus rounds is what it's all about with this slot. Fitting, because this element of risk and chance are essential to the TV classic itself.
Try again, luck will be with you next time.

Social Security Number (SSN) is a unique number issued to US citizens, Permanent Residents, and to certain foreign nationals who meet the eligibility criteria. In the 1930s, the first Social Security Number was issued, and the federal government mandated that all legal residents and citizens of US must have a valid Social Security Card. The Social Security Administration (SSA) issues Social Security Numbers (SSN) to applicants who meet the criteria.
SSN is a nine-digit number divided into three parts. The first three numbers generally indicate the area numbers: the state of residence at the time the person applied for his or her first card; the middle two digits of the SSN, the group numbers which range from 01 through 99, merely serve to break the numbers into blocks of convenient size and the last four characters, the serial numbers ranging from 0001 through 9999 represent a straight numerical progression of assigned numbers.
Importance of SSN
A Social Security Number (SSN) issued by Social Security Administration, is a number issued to citizens, permanent residents, temporary (working) residents and foreign citizens in the United States. It is generally needed for employment purposes. If you plan to work, have an assistantship, or get a driver's license, you must have a Social Security Number.
Primary Purposes of SSN:
- Tracking working individuals for taxation purposes & yearly wages
- Trace entire credit history of any person
- Check eligibility for Social Security benefits
- Report wages to the government
- Payroll deductions for old age, survivors, and disability insurance
- Many institutions also use the SSN as the student ID number
Applying For SSN
1.U.S. Citizens:
Following documents are required to apply for an SSN:
a.Completed Form SS-5 (Application For A Social Security Card)
b.Proof of U.S. citizenship: You may submit U.S. birth certificate, U.S. consular report of birth, U.S. passport, Certificate of Naturalization or Certificate of Citizenship
c.Proof of Age: Your birth certificate or passport may be submitted to prove your age
d.Proof of identity: Your identity must be current (not expired) and show your name, identifying information (date of birth or age) and preferably a recent photograph. Your U.S. driver's license; State-issued non-driver identification card or U.S. passport may be used to prove your identity. If you do not have one of these specific documents or you cannot get a replacement for one of them within 10 days, other documents that can be considered are:
i. Employee ID card;
ii. School ID card;
iii. Health insurance card (not a Medicare card);
iv. U.S. military ID card; or
v. Adoption decree.
Once you have collected all the required documents, submit your completed application and documents in person to your nearest local Social Security office.

All documents must be either originals or copies certified by the issuing agency. Photocopies or notarized copies of documents are not accepted.
2.Non-citizens who have work authorization from DHS:
Only non-citizens who have permission to work from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) can apply for a Social Security number.
Following documents are required to apply for an SSN:
a.Completed Form SS-5 (Application For A Social Security Card)
b.Documents to prove your Immigration status & Work Eligibility: The I-94 (Arrival/Departure Record) issued to you when you arrived in the United States will be needed to prove your immigration status.

A J-1 student will be required to provide a letter from his/her sponsor. The letter should be on sponsor letterhead with an original signature that authorizes the employment.
d.Proof of age: Your birth certificate or passport may be submitted to prove your age
e.Proof of your identity: A current DHS document will be required by the Social Security Office. Acceptable documents include:
i. Form I-551 (includes machine-readable immigrant visa with your unexpired foreign passport)
ii. I-94 with your unexpired foreign passport
iii. Work permit card from the Department of Homeland Security (I-766 or I-688B).
Once you have collected all the required documents, take your completed application and documents to your nearest local Social Security office. Persons of age 12 or older applying for an original Social Security number card must appear for an interview at a Social Security office. All documents must be either originals or copies certified by the issuing agency. Photocopies or notarized copies of documents are not accepted.
3.Non-citizens who have work authorization from DHS:
Lawfully admitted non-citizens who are not authorized to work, can get many benefits and services without a Social Security number. SSN is not required to conduct business with a bank, register for school, apply for educational tests, obtain private health insurance, apply for school lunch programs or apply for subsidized housing.
Without permission to work, you may apply for a Social Security number only if:
a.A federal law requires you to provide your Social Security number to get a particular benefit or service; or
b.A state or local law requires you to provide your Social Security number to get general assistance benefits that you already have qualified for.
Cost of SSN
There is no charge for a Social Security number and card.
Types of Social Security Cards:
There are three types of Social Security cards which show your name and Social Security number.
1.The first type of card is issued to:
a.U.S. citizens; and
b.People lawfully admitted to the United States on a permanent basis.
2.The first type of card is issued to:
a.People lawfully admitted to the United States on a temporary basis who have DHS authorization to work.
3.The third type of card is issued to:
a.Foreigners who are lawfully admitted to the United States without work authorization from DHS, but with a valid non-work reason for needing a Social Security number; or
b.Foreigners who need a number because of a federal law requiring a Social Security number to get a benefit or service.
Processing Time
SSA needs to verify your documents with DHS before they assign a Social Security number to you. Most of the time, SSA can verify your documents quickly with DHS online; however, if your documents cannot be verified online, it may take DHS several weeks to respond to SSA's request.
Can I start Working Without SSN?
SSA does not require you to have a Social Security number before you start work. However, the Internal Revenue Service requires employers to report wages using a Social Security number. While you wait for your Social Security number, your employer can use a letter from SSA stating that you applied for a number. Your employer may use your immigration documents as proof of your authorization to work in the United States.

In the rain-scented wind,
in the girls' eyes and steps,
is something wonderful found.
What in Warsaw could it be?
Not station, skyscraper behind me,
not these steps on which I lunch.
Turning round I cannot see,
but it is here, I know this much.

Actually we can scratch the comedy as well. Sick toddler this weekend, and daddy had to stay home to watch him today. He's fine now and he will be back in daycare tomorrow, so the answers will come tomorrow with or without observations. Either that or the answers will appear tomorrow and observations on Wednesday.
Sorry for the delay, but this does mean that someone submitted the correct answers, so there is that.
See y'all in the morrow.

And so Erica was due for her "proper" hens night in Singapore. Apparently her hens night in Australia didn't count. Pffft….. I call shenanigans. It's just a way of her to have two hens nights! Not fair…. not fair at all! But anyhoo, I digress. Ericas GQ lasses had planned a hens night for her of which she was to have absolutely no knowledge of.
Me, from a guys point of view, did have a few worries. After hearing some stories, and seeing some photos, of a previous hens night that was thrown for one of her close friends, I believe I had some reason to be afraid, or in the very least cautious. Now before I go on, Erica and I have been at loggerheads over the whole Bucks Night Vs Hens Night issue and which one is to be considered "worse", for lack of a better expression.
For me, I think a traditional Hens nights is far worse than a traditional Bucks night. Let's break it down a bit to see what we generally try to accomplish from the evenings.
Bucks Night Objective: Humiliate the buck as much as possible
Hens Night Objective: Embarrass the hen as much as possible
Not on the surface, they both have some similarities. But in my book, the book of me, life is full of similarities on the surface. Once you dig deeper, the similarities come quickly to an end. Now for the record, I'm talking about traditional bucks and hens nights. Not the crazy ones which involve parties cheating or sleeping with other randoms or strippers or what not. I'm talking the plain and simple. Now lets break it down a bit more. What constitutes the absolute basis for *most* traditional hens nights?
Bucks Night requirements: Female Strippers, booze.
Hens Night requirements: Male Strippers, booze, social interaction with randoms.
And right there is the crux of the argument that I shall soon be presenting. Now of course I understand that there are cases of bucks interacting with other random girls, or hens whom don't interact at all with any guys. But from my experience and the experiences I've heard from others, this seems to be the case. It's solely my perspective on my exposure to the world of Hens and Bucks Nights.
The Bucks Night
A male hens night generally involves female strippers, booze, booze, and pain/humiliation of the buck. Sometimes the buck gets away with mere embarrassment, but usually the crew that he's with shoot for humiliation. Sometimes they miss, or sometimes they develop a conscience. But that's the gist of it. Now for the unenlightened, there is generally NO contact between strippers and their patrons/clients/customers. Lay a finger on a female stripper, and at club or home, you're likely to have your arm ripped off by their big, burly escort before you can shout "accident!". It's a strictly no contact cock tease between him. And aside from strippers, there's booze. Alot of booze. The boys all gather at a watering hole somewhere, and proceed to drink their sorrows for the poor bastard that is getting married away. There generally is no enforced social interaction with random strangers unless it be an impromptu thing.
The Hens Night
A hens night, like the buck, involves embarrassing the hen. They don't humiliate the hen because lets face it….. girls generally don't enjoy being humiliated. Of course no guy enjoys it either, but it seems to be socially acceptable to humiliate men and not women. Dammit…. Now although a stripper (male) isn't as much of a pre-requisite for a hens night that it seems to be for a buck, it still is staple part of most hens nights that I know of. Now here's the first key difference between a male and female stripper.
A female stripper will almost never place her hands on you, and generally the most contact you *may* get is your face stuck in their boobs, for the trashier, home delivered variety of strippers. No hand contact, either her on you or you on her. However, males strippers follow a totally different protocol. For a male stripper performing for a female, the entire show is ALL about interaction. It is all hands on. It's about him putting his hands all over her, and him putting her hands all over him. And I'm talking in some cases, and not that uncommonly, ALL over! Now it's generally all good innocent fun, and despite the differences in contact protocols, there rarely is anything sinister or debaucherous about the whole thing.
But the night doesn't end there. Another pre-requisite for hens nights is social interaction with members of the opposite sex. Where be it a flirt, a kiss, or something more, there is generally a pre-planned night of social interaction with members of the opposite sex involved. Sometimes it's in the form of games, other times simple dares. But it seems to feed into the theory or belief that women thrive on attention alot more than men do.
The Argument
Now so far we have some differences, and so far it all kinda seems innocent enough. But the age old argument of which is worse which has raged for eons remains unanswered. For me, I say, clear cut, that the hens night is worse. Why? Well, basically what women fail to realise, or perhaps choose not to realise, is that from a guys perspective, socially interacting with guys in the "hens nights" fashion is not all as innocent as it's cracked up to be. Basically, a hen is pressured by her crew to flirt and interact with random men. Now this generally takes place in a venue of which booze is the only thing on the menu, and most of the patrons have already ordered a few things from that menu. Anyone whom thinks that a bar/club/pub is not a testosterone and hormone fuelled haven of possible sin is just deluding themselves. Where do guys go to pick up? Bars. Where do girls go to pick up? Bars. Now here you have a (lets for arguments sake say hot) hot hen throwing herself at guys. Her friends are pressuring her to approach guys for stupid random reasons. She's thinking that it's all in good fun, it's all innocent, I'm just going to let myself go.
On the other side you have the guys. Here you have a hot girl throwing herself at you, trying to flirt with you, sometimes trying to kiss you. You know it's a hens night, and she's obviously had alot to drink. Generally, I can tell you straight up and now that one of the many things going through their mind is "Ooo you're hot, I'd love to fuck you". Simple as that. Single status assuming, most guys would take the opportunity to dirty dance, flirt back, and obviously try to get as much out of the situation (whatever that may be) as possible because hey, we don't know who you're marrying, so you're fair game! Now the chances of the situation escalating to something extreme are slim, because at the end of the day, the hen hopefully has a good bunch of friends looking out for her.
But that being said, they are all up for her to do things that still would otherwise be inappropriate for a taken girl in any other situation. A bucks night is really no different from any other night. It's not uncommon for guys to go to a strip club just for laughs with the boys (western society). However, it is generally unacceptable for a girl to get drunk, go to a bar, and dirty dance/flirt/peck/pash/snuggle with random guys. Basically a bucks night is not hormone fuelled. Whereas a hens night is.
What women don't seem to see is that the context of the situation is totally different from that of a man. It's much more than the technical environment that makes the situation as bad as it may be, it's the context. I told Erica before her hens night that she could peck a stripper, she could grope a stripper (which she actually did), and I really don't care because at the end of the day. It's his job, he's a professional. However, I will be extremely disappointed and unhappy if she did the same in a club with a random guy. Because at the end of the day, this is what single people do on weekends. Kissing and flirting with a random guy whom obviously wants to fuck you is just a major no no. And alcohol and hormones being what they are, it's quite easy for your body to act in a fashion that the mind would disagree with.
This comes from anecdotal evidence of friends whom have witnessed, and partook, in said escalated shenanigans on hens night so yes, it can be quite common. It's almost a science, and it is playing with fire. And in that respect, I think that a hens night is far worse than a bucks night. Because of the context of the situation.
Guys are horsing around with girls whom really don't want to have anything to do with them, but are paid to. On top of girls doing the same with male strippers, they are cavorting and horsing around with guys whom probably want to do them. And the girl may possibly like to return the favour, but knows she can't. Danger Will Robinson Danger!
So there you have it. I'm totally okay with my girl doing everything that would normally happen on her hens night, but I would tend to draw the line at her kissing another guy, because I would never do it with another girl. Stripper, thats fine. Random guy? No. The reason? The context of the situation.

The concept to create a great company or organizational culture not only depends on guesswork but also depends on a definite goal in a systematic manner. It is not an easy task. It may be observed that the employees are sometimes involved in achieving their personal and are not working in accordance with the company culture. It is the duty of the hierarchy to integrate the individual with the organization with regard to technological and sophistication requirements, specialized skills and knowledge.
Changing the culture of an organizational setup does not mean to identify what is wrong and to rectify it. Rather it aims at the interaction among participants working in the organization and placing of right skills and talents in the right places from where the organization can receive the support and fulfill its dream.
The major steps which can be adopted in changing the culture of an organization can be summarized as follows:
First of all, there is a need to explore the present culture and to compare it with the changes it needs. Before taking any positive steps it must be ensured that the activities recommended by the managerial hierarchy must be pursued. If the managerial activity seems to produce no effect then it must be dropped. But, if it gives positive outcome and a lot of satisfaction to most of the people engaged in it, action to be taken to move on to the next steps.
Normally, the objectives of the specific managerial position are defined at each level of the managerial hierarchy. The organizational culture is based on these objectives. The philosophy of management is to achieve the desired result. If the present culture does not follow the strategic direction of the company, there will be a need to change the present culture. But before changing it must be taken into account how the changes will affect and support the company's predetermined vision.
The current organizational culture is based on vision, mission and ethical values of a company. It is the objective of an organization to integrate the personal goals of the individual with managerial levels. In the present day, special skills and specialist workers are required to support technological sophistication. So, before harmonizing various functional specialists for the achievement of a company's overall objective, it must be ensured how this change in culture will benefit the existing employees and the stakeholders.
The role of a manager in a company is not like a watchdog. It is the duty of a manager to develop the potentialities of the workers so that they can contribute their highest efficiency to the organization and can have the fullest satisfaction from their work. This would create a good relationship between the employees and the managers. Thus, manager as a mentor will create an environment of motivation. This would help in restoring the culture of the company. The bossing tendency of a manager is detrimental to the vision of the company.
If the work of the authority is decentralized, a sense of democracy rather than autocracy will be created and a full-fledged unit will be created. This decentralization will provide freedom which will ultimately induce the lower level workers to take part in an active manner. Decentralization will help in determining the deterioration in work culture of a specific stage. As such, any error in the planning process can easily be detected. The culture of a company can be handled delicately and the total planning process of an organization can be motivated towards the company's ultimate goal.
Reward and punishment system is the basic key to bring about a change in the culture of a company. It is a Herculean task to eliminate an inefficient employee. Before taking any steps to retrench any employee, it would be wise to sit with the existing employees and arrive at a solution. It is better to assign a red flag to employees who are either showing signs of laziness or not willing to admit mistakes. Any hasty decision can be fatal for an enterprise and before firing any employees from the organization, it is to be kept in mind that there are sufficient replacements and they do have the ability to cope up with the organization's prevailing culture.
It is always found that the employees concerned exhibit their highest performance when they are entrusted with specific objectives. But, these employees fail to show their efficiency and performance when they are simply asked to do their best. It is, therefore, necessary to set up individual goals for the employees. Sometimes, a company awaits its long-term achievement. But it is not proper. In order to get a steady and consistent change, short-term goals must be implemented so that the company can develop specific cultural changes in the workplaces. Without taking initiative for a bulk of changes it would be wise to chalk out changes one by one. Putting emphasis on punctuality, motivating lower level of employees may be the initial changes for gearing up the cultural activities. Once the change gets implemented, it may bring about a drastic change in the culture of a company in the long-run.
Periodic review of performance is an important feature of assessing company's performance and vision. It is necessary to clarify the specific roles of the employees who are entrusted with the responsibility of achieving the roles. For this purpose, the concerned employees must be given an opportunity of being heard. This will not only help to listen and take care of an employee but also help in getting valuable information about the happenings in the ground level.
With the above-mentioned tips, one can bring a notable change in the culture of the workplace. It is to be remembered that the individual is to be focused upon and not the entire process. Individuals are the ones important to bring a change. From hiring the perfect ones to encouraging all employees can help to achieve bigger goals.

From: Michael Kurtz, Co-founder of Record Store Day
Record Store Day is an excuse for record stores to have a party with the artists who love them and who want to celebrate their art with us. And there are a lot of these of artists. Tom Waits. Wilco. Dylan. Iron & Wine. Ryan Adams. Beck. Talib Kweli. The Dead Weather. Chris Cornell. Erykah Badu. Disturbed. Amanda Palmer. Leonard Cohen. Paul McCartney. My Morning Jacket. And on and on. Don't take my word for it though, go to http://www.recordstoreday.com and see for yourself.
We aren't claiming that we are the saviors of the music biz, but we are doing a great job with what we do. And, just as importantly, we are having fun. Remember what that was like? If we could get a hundred other music biz people to take this approach, instead of hyping Irving Azoff's latest Wall Street-like-move, or Wal-mart, or Apple, or Google China, or whatever the latest nonsense of the week is, we'd all be in a lot better shape. Now is the time to get behind the artists. They are the stars. They are the creators. Find the ones that suit your taste and do all that you can do to make them shine. If you can't do this then my suggestion is to please do us all a favor and be quiet for awhile. There's too much noise and negativity already. It's time to be appreciative about music and the very special people who make it, as well as the fans that love it. That is what record stores do and what Record Store Day is about.

This is hilarious! This kid was so nervous! While making a stop Sunday night in Greensboro, N.C. with his Magna Carta World Tour, Jay Z allowed a 12 year old boy named Justin come up to do a verse from Clique. It was super adorable. Some people are saying this was staged. They say it's kind of ironic that this video surfaces after a report from a brand marketing expert came out last week that claims that young people don't think Jay is authentic. The boys mother however is saying this was not staged and it really happened She said the boy is a huge Jay Z fan and they even bought tickets to the show the night before in Charlotte, just so you know its real. 😉 The mother says Justin jumped up with his sign and this time Jigga noticed. Cute. After that Jay probably wants a boy. BTW it's Blue Ivy's birthday today!

Our second release! Today we bring you a new portfolio theme called Panoramica, loosely based on Illustrious and heavily improved upon!
Panoramica gets its name from its fully fluid layout. Pretty much everything in this theme is designed to scale with the width of the screen, so it can cater to both small and large resolutions alike. As such, it has a really wide, panoramic slider, that splits across the screen.
Panoramica brings a 'real' portfolio into play, as it has dedicated templates and custom posts to create a beautiful showcase of items. What's more, each portfolio item is able to show a slide of all the images attached to the post, not only the featured image. This coupled with the ability to separate items into portfolio categories, makes Panoramica a very versatile theme.
And of course, it comes with a powerful Theme Options page that lets you customize the essentials of the theme: the logo, the background, the analytics code… this theme also brings plenty of background textures, which you can swap with a single click.
Like Illustrious, Panoramica is completely free to download. If you need any help setting up the theme or need technical support, be sure to drop by the contact page and send us an inquiry. We'll be glad to help.
Hope you enjoy it!

Meaning of CHINA in English
officially People's Republic of China
Country, eastern Asia.
Encyclopædia Britannica, Inc.
Area: 3,696,100 sq mi (9,572,900 sq km). Population (2004 est.): 1,298,848,000. Capital: Beijing . The Han, or ethnic Chinese, form more than nine-tenths of the population. Languages: dialects of Han Chinese, Mandarin being the most important. Religions: Buddhism, Islam, Protestantism, Roman Catholicism, Daoism (all legally sanctioned). Currency: renminbi (of which the unit is the yuan). China has several topographic regions. The southwestern area contains the Plateau of Tibet, which averages more than 13,000 ft (4,000 m) above sea level; its central area, averaging more than 16,000 ft (5,000 m) in elevation, is called "the Roof of the World." Higher yet are the border ranges, the Kunlun Mountains to the north and the Himalayas to the south. China's northwestern region stretches from Afghanistan to the northeastern Manchurian Plain. The Tien Shan ("Celestial Mountains") separate China's two major interior basins, the Tarim Basin (containing the Takla Makan Desert ) and the Junggar Basin. The Mongolian Plateau contains the southernmost part of the Gobi Desert . The lowlands of the eastern region include the Sichuan Basin, which runs along the Yangtze River (Chang Jiang). The eastern region is divided into northern and southern parts by the Yangtze. The Brahmaputra , Salween , and Irrawaddy rivers. Its many other rivers include the Xi , Sungari (Songhua), Zhu (Pearl), and Lancang, which becomes the Mekong in Southeast Asia. The discovery of Peking man in 1927 (see Zhoukoudian ) dates the advent of early hominids to the Paleolithic Period . Chinese civilization probably spread from the Huang He (Yellow River) valley, where it existed с 3000 BC. The first dynasty for which there is definite historical material is the Shang (с 17th century BC), which had a writing system and a calendar. The Zhou , a subject state of the Shang, overthrew its Shang rulers in the 11th century and ruled until the 3rd century BC. Daoism and Confucianism were founded in this era. A time of conflict, called the Warring States period, lasted from the 5th century until 221 BC. Subsequently the Qin (Ch'in) dynasty (from whose name China is derived) was established, after its rulers had conquered rival states and created a unified empire. The Han dynasty was established in 206 BC and ruled until AD 220. A time of turbulence followed, and Chinese reunification was not achieved until the Sui dynasty was established in 581. After the founding of the Song dynasty in 960, the capital was moved to the south because of northern invasions. In 1279 this dynasty was overthrown and Mongol ( Yuan ) domination began. During this time Marco Polo visited Kublai Khan . The Ming dynasty followed the period of Mongol rule and lasted from 1368 to 1644, cultivating antiforeign feelings to the point that China closed itself off from the rest of the world. Peoples from Manchuria overran China in 1644 and established the Qing (Manchu) dynasty. Ever-increasing incursions by Western and Japanese interests led in the 19th century to the Opium Wars , the Taiping Rebellion , and the Sino-Japanese War , all of which weakened the Manchu. The dynasty fell in 1911, and a republic was proclaimed in 1912 by Sun Yat-sen . The power struggles of warlords weakened the republic. Under Chiang Kai-shek , some national unification was achieved in the 1920s, but Chiang soon broke with the communists, who then formed their own armies. Japan invaded northern China in 1937; its occupation lasted until 1945 (see Manchukuo ). The communists gained support after the Long March (1934–35), in which Mao Zedong emerged as their leader. Upon Japan's surrender at the end of World War II, a fierce civil war began; in 1949 the Nationalists fled to Taiwan, and the communists proclaimed the People's Republic of China. The communists undertook extensive reforms, but pragmatic policies alternated with periods of revolutionary upheaval, most notably in the Great Leap Forward and the Cultural Revolution . The anarchy, terror, and economic paralysis of the latter led, after Mao's death in 1976, to a turn to moderation under Deng Xiaoping , who undertook economic reforms and renewed China's ties to the West. The government established diplomatic relations with the U.S. in 1979. Since the late 1970s the economy has been moving from central planning and state-run industries to a mixture of state-owned and private enterprises in manufacturing and services, in the process growing dramatically and transforming Chinese society. The Tiananmen Square incident in 1989 was a challenge to an otherwise increasingly stable political environment after 1980. In 1997 Hong Kong reverted to Chinese rule, as did Macau in 1999.
