text: I have participated in several surveys that asked me how much I use public chargers. I always estimated some percentage until I finally looked at the data I have collected using Teslafi.com from the last 11 months. Turns out it is a meaningless small amount. The only reason it even registers on the scale in my case is because I try to make it a point to use public chargers. I want the owners to see that they are being used. Other times it's access to a parking spot in an otherwise full parking lot, sometimes it's just because I know the charger is free and I have something to do in that area. The number of times I really needed a public charging station is very rare. If I subtract the times I didn't need to charge or it didn't make any difference one way or another, I think it's about 1% of my charging total. Now I'm not saying public chargers are pointless. I don't think we shouldn't have them. Most EVs do not have as much range as a Tesla and need to top off here and there. There is also the case that someone does not have home charging. In the first few months I didn't have a home charger and had to rely on public chargers. (Quite the challenge 3 years ago!). I wish people who are considering an EV but are worried where to find charging stations would understand how little importance public chargers have provided you can charge at home. For the most part you really don't need them. They are convenient sometimes and especially when free people love to use them. But even here in LA where there are tons of EV, payed charging stations are not used that much. The ones that get a lot of use are free stations and those that give you better parking. Often they get abused. They don't even plug in or plug in but don't activate. So really they just want the other advantages but don't really need to charge. The ones that really need public charging is really not a big number.

Microsoft has removed WiFi Sense Password sharing feature from the latest Windows 10 build 14342.
WiFi Sense helps you to connect to more WiFi networks. You will be connected to open WiFi hotspots that WiFi Sense knows about. And if you share access to a WiFi network with your Outlook.com contacts, Skype contacts or FB friends, you'll get connected to their WiFi networks using WiFi Sense.
Here is what Microsoft say over WiFi Sense Password Sharing feature removal :-
We have removed the WiFi Sense feature that allows you to share Wi-Fi networks with your contacts and to be automatically connected to networks shared by your contacts. The cost of updating the code to keep this feature working combined with low usage and low demand made this not worth further investment. Wi-Fi Sense, if enabled, will continue to get you connected to open Wi-Fi hotspots that it knows about through crowdsourcing.
Did you use WiFi Sense Password Sharing feature? Tell us in the comments.

And no one recognizes the differences more than educators, especially those in the field of special education. Helping students and parents understand the multiple pathways to high school graduation is part of that process. Career development and occupational studies are an option that gives students having trouble passing the four basic Regents exams a way to successfully navigate high school. Designed initially for special education students, the program allows high school students to master career skills beyond academics by spending part of their school day at a job. "Students who participate in work-based learning experiences can see great success," said Kerri Canzone-Ball , director of special education services at the Ballston Spa Central School District. "Whether it's working to prepare food as part of a catering business, or working in the community, you can see the glow on their faces and the pride in their work." Right now, students are working on campus with buildings and grounds, food service and with the clerical staff. Yet a $300,000 state grant is helping Ballston Spa Central School District to expand its CDOS offerings. company websiteMoving into the second-year of a three-year phase-in, the Program Development Grant to Prepare Students with Disabilities to Exit School with Work Readiness Skills is reaching out to businesses that can partner with the district, expanding students' career choices. The money is also widening its on-campus career and technical education classes and the work-readiness courses that teach skills needed to land and keep a job. It is also allowing Ballston Spa to welcome more students, those not identified with special education needs, into the CDOS program.

Acknowledge it you can find been a several games you have read of at the very least after in your daily life, and the identify alone created you speculate what in the environment the game was about. Like Rummy, Kalooki, or the age old Kick The Can (no I wasn't born in the 50s, but I do have a mother). But even however these games sounded odd at first, they were being truly a large amount of enjoyment and rather addicting. I'm confident you can assume of a several much more from your time as very well. When I first read about Rummikub I was incredibly bewildered as to what it was, let alone how to say it. Seemingly no just one seriously is aware of how its intended to be pronounced, everybody has a different pronunciation, who is aware of what is correct! Listed here are a several examples of the way different men and women assume its pronounced:
Rummy – Dice
Rummy – Cub
Rummy – Coob
Other men and women completely insist that the way you say it relies upon on your spot in the environment. So, I guess in this subject, it isn't going to subject how you say it, as extended as you are in the correct place when you are stating it!
The point of Rummikub is not the pronunciation, the point is that it really is a game and it really is a game you can engage in on the web when you need a split from just about every working day daily life, which is generally a nice issue huh?!?
"Rummikub is a tile-based mostly game for two, 3 or 4 gamers. It received the 1980 Spiel des Jahres award (German Game of the Yr) and the Spel van het …

According to B, if a drawing doesn't have eyelashes it can't be a girl. On the flip side if it does have eyelashes it can't be a boy. SO Bambi is a girl and Lilo (from Lilo & stitch) is a boy.
You can marry your dad in fact it makes perfect sense to "share" dad and both be "wives". Not sure where this idea came from
All dogs should fetch, if they don't fetch you must throw the ball repeatedly until they get the idea. Dad makes a great dog when all else fails on the real ones.
You should only pick your nose in bed.
Girls have to like girls because they are the same and boys should like boys cause they are the same.
eventually mom will be small again and able to wear B's clothes, but by then B will be big and have to take care of mom
If you pick out presents for your sister, Santa will bring you what you want.
These are just some of the facts that I have recently learned from 3 1/2 year old B. I never know what is going to come out of her mouth and I've been keeping a list because there are days when this girl has me in tears. I really can't wait to hear what she has to say next. Love her!

Numerous hotels Cyprus presented classical categories, which used every tourist.
This hotels with two, three, four and five stars, or so-called "boutique hotels", the second group - apart-hotels or in other hotel apartments, and complete this kind of classification of villas and townhouses, which can be rented by the day. According to international hotel standards in the majority they fully comply with the requirements adopted in this kind of business.
Such hotels in Cyprus are represented by both local companies and international hotel chains. As a rule, these are not just hotels, but whole complexes in which guests are offered a wide range of services. In most cases, on the territory of 5 -stellar hotels there are own restaurants, several swimming pools, including for children, a SPA center, a beauty salon, a gym, a tennis court and sports grounds, as well as children's clubs or children's playrooms. The territory itself is perfectly maintained, often takes up a large area, and the beach can also adjoin the hotel.
Accommodation in hotels of this class is chosen by people who are accustomed to comfort and at the same time able to count their money. Compared with the five star hotels in Cyprus are virtually no way inferior to the service, the only difference may lie in the more modest decoration of the halls and rooms, as well as less extensive territory. In addition, the four-star hotels are often located at some distance from the beach, for some tourists may be a problem.
As no surprise, but Cyprus hotels are practically not represented 2-LAN hotels, but if you find any, and then the level of service and quality finishes are practically does not differ from the three-star. Of course, this is a budget accommodation option, but it will be best for families with children and for young couples.
In essence, the aparthotels are the same hotel apartments, which, in contrast to ordinary rooms, have an additional kitchen area. For this reason, the accommodation in the apart-hotel will be acceptable for those who want to save on vacation at restaurants or prefer a homemade restaurant meal. In addition to kitchen accessories and appliances, in such mini-kitchens they sometimes install a washing machine, which is also very convenient and economical. To designate the categories, a system of alphabetic classification is applied to apart-hotels, which, in principle, is no different from digital. For example, the letter "A" means that the hotel has 5 stars, "B" - 4 stars, and so on.
For an extended stay on the island, as well as for recreation with a family or a large company, the best option for accommodation can be a daily rental of villas, townhouses and apartments. Comfortable apartments in Cyprus can be rented in almost any part of the island, guided by your wishes. Most cases of renting are inexpensive, but you need to remember that the cost will depend on several factors. The defining parameter here is the location of the villa: the closer to the sea, the more expensive. It should also be noted that when renting a villa, you pay directly for the property itself, and not for the number of people who will live in it. Therefore, resting a large company with this type of accommodation will in some ways help you to save money.

Brood of Hatred are a band from Tunisia that plays a very heavy form of death metal and this is a review of their 2014 album "Skinless Agony" which was released by Crime Records.
The album starts out with dark sounding synths before going into a heavier direction along with growls and all of the musical instruments having a very powerful sound to them as well as some melody which also leads to faster parts and blast beats being mixed in with the slower parts as well as bringing in solos.
As the album continues the band bring in a brutal death metal sound while also adding technical elements to their music along with melodic guitar leads along with a small amount of sci-fi sound effects and the band for the most part sticks to a mid paced direction while they also have their fast moments and blast beats at times and they also bring in a brief instrumental which also has spoken word parts before returning to their death metal sound while also having a brief use of clean playing being utilized in a couple of their songs.
With this album Brood of hatred stick to a more heavy and mid paced direction of death metal and while they do not really have a very original sound they make up for it by being talented musicians and there ability to put in progressive, technical and melodic elements in t he music which are their main strengths.
Song lyrics cover philosophical and anti religion themes, while the production has a very strong, powerful, heavy and professional sound where you can hear all of the musical instruments that are present on this recording as well as a couple of the songs being long and epic in length.
In my opinion Brood of hatred are a very decent sounding death metal band with a progressive and experimental edge and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Deconsruction" "Cacophony In the Creation" "Skinless Agony" and "Obsession". 7/5 out of 10.

Dementia is an umbrella term for a series of symptoms involved in a decline of mental faculties severe enough to inhibit the daily life of its sufferers. Although dementia most commonly affects senior citizens, there are various forms of the disease that are not always related to aging. Additionally, memory problems do not invariably indicate dementia. Memory problems have a number of different causes, and it is critical to learn about dementia before diagnosing it.
If you are noticing potential signs of dementia in your loved one, you might encounter some difficulties in discerning the difference between Alzheimer's disease and dementia. Before seeking dementia care, it is important to make sure you understand the distinction between the two terms.
It is not uncommon for people to mistakenly confuse the two diseases, as public awareness of how the terms differ is broadly obscure. However, while both Alzheimer's and dementia are diseases related to the functioning of the brain, Alzheimer's disease is actually a specific form of dementia responsible for 50 to 70 percent of all cases of dementia, whereas dementia is a broader term used to describe a variety of symptoms affecting operations of the brain, such as communication, behavior, and memory.
Signs of Alzheimer's
Some symptoms, such as memory loss, issues with decision-making, and performance of everyday tasks, can simply indicate nothing other than general aging. However, when coupled with various other signs, these symptoms could point towards the onset of Alzheimer's disease. Symptoms such as confusion of time, misplacement of items, drastic changes in mood, and poor judgment can often indicate Alzheimer's disease when they increase dramatically and out of the norm.
One crucial difference between Alzheimer's disease and other forms of dementia is that while certain forms of dementia, such as vitamin deficiency and drug-related brain dysfunction, are sometimes reversible or temporary, Alzheimer's disease is not reversible. It is an incurable degenerative disease, but the struggles of life with Alzheimer's can be managed and relieved with proper care. You can decide whether you'd like to take on the care of your loved one yourself, or if you might need to seek extra professional care.
Living with Dementia
Once an accurate diagnosis is made, you will need to consider how best to meet the needs of your loved one. Investing in home care services can drastically improve the quality of life of both for you and the family member in your care. Local in-home care allows seniors to receive engaging and loving care in the comfort of their own homes so that they do not need to be uprooted from familiar environments at a sensitive and delicate time of their lives. Additionally, assisted living facilities have become notorious for the neglect and abuse of seniors, making in-home care a preferable option in many cases. With home care, trained caregivers can assist seniors with a variety of everyday tasks, including maintaining personal hygiene, providing groceries and meals, handling incontinence, and assisting with mobility.
Sympathetic care and engagement are indispensable and enriching to the mental, emotional, and physical well-being of aging people. In-home care allows for a number of advantages not afforded by other care facilities, including familiarity, independence, and community involvement. Experienced caregivers can ensure that your loved ones are receiving necessary attention to make everyday tasks as comfortable and safe as possible.

National audit shows bowel cancer care is improving
An in-depth report about bowel cancer surgery in England and Wales has found that care is improving for the disease.
But patients who receive emergency surgery continue to fare less well than those whose operations are pre-planned.
Emergency surgery tends to be more common in people who are diagnosed late, when the disease is more advanced.
The latest report from the National Bowel Cancer Audit - published by the NHS Information Centre and others - looked at the management of more than 28,000 cases of bowel cancer in England and Wales from August 2009 to July 2010.
The findings show that mortality rates have continued to improve among patients who undergo less urgent elective or scheduled operations.
Almost one in three patients received keyhole surgery - a less invasive operation performed through a small cut in the belly - an increase from one in four the previous year.
This is thought to be the result of a national training programme that's been underway in recent years to update the skills of bowel surgeons.
But the report found that patients who received urgent and emergency surgery had a higher death rate in the 30 days after their operation.
Researchers also looked in detail at surgery for two of the main types of bowel cancer - rectal cancer and colon cancer.
They found that there was a higher death rate among colon cancer patients within 30 days of major surgery, with 4.2 per cent dying compared with 2.5 per cent of rectal cancer patients.
Rectal cancer patients were also less likely to undergo a major surgical procedure or emergency surgery than colon cancer patients, partly because rectal cancer is often detected at an earlier stage.
Responding to the audit, Nigel Scott, President of the Association of Coloproctology of Great Britain & Ireland, said: "We welcome the increasing success of colorectal surgeons, specialist nurses, oncologists and other medical specialties.
"However, advanced emergency presentation of bowel cancer remains a concern. All too often worries are locked behind the bathroom door because of embarrassment until the problem is too advanced to be retrievable.
Sarah Woolnough, Director of Policy at Cancer Research UK, also welcomed the report. She said: "Bowel cancer is the third most common type of cancer in the UK, so it's encouraging to see that care is improving.
"But this report also highlights the importance of people knowing the potential symptoms of bowel cancer, such as loose stools or blood in stools, as when the disease is diagnosed at the earliest stage there is a good chance of survival.
"Raising awareness about bowel cancer symptoms could also encourage people to take up their invitation for bowel screening and improve early detection of the disease."

The Latest Trend – Colored Christmas Trees
Would you put up a purple tree in your house?
One of the biggest trends in Christmas trees this year is the colored tree, pink, purple and blue are some of the more popular colors, but many colors are available.
The dye is fireproof and made specifically for trees and is sprayed on at the tree farm or tree lot. I wasn't able to find anyone in Duluth who does this, and it may be too cold now for the dye to work anyway.

Parents are passing on road rage habits to their learner-driver children, according to an AA poll.
Some mothers and fathers also set offspring a bad example by drinking, using phones and even falling asleep when supervising learners, the survey showed.
The most common of the bad habits passed on is not using mirrors properly followed by speeding, not checking for blind spots and poor hands-on-the-wheel technique when turning.
As well as getting angry with other drivers, other faults include braking hard or too late and driving too close to the vehicle in front.
The bad habits were reported to the AA Driving School whose director Simon Douglas said: "Learners who combine formal lessons from an instructor with practice with family or friends boost their chances of passing their test and are likely to be safer drivers."
He went on: "But dangerous habits are easily passed on, and it is alarming to see evidence that road rage is being passed on to another generation of drivers. Parents should try to set a good example with their own driving and remember to let the experts do the teaching, while they focus on helping their children gain experience."
These are the top 10 bad habits passed on by parents to learner drivers:
1. Not using mirrors properly
2. Speeding
3. Not checking blind spots
4. Not handling the wheel properly when turning
5. Braking too hard or late
6. Driving too close to the vehicle in front
7. Letting the wheel slip through the hands
8. Having only one hand on the wheel
9. Criticising or getting angry at other drivers
10. Coasting in neutral

IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY: This year you often feel pressured by feeling one way but believing the opposite should be true. Get to the bottom of certain issues to find a resolution. You have a nearly psychic ability, and you sense things before they happen. Don't be put off by the unexpected, as it will occur a fair amount of time. If you are single, others often seek you out for more than friendship. The bonds you form are likely to be volatile if you insist on always being right. If you are attached, the two of you often come from different perspectives. Seek a solution that works for both of you. TAURUS is as stubborn as you are.
ARIES (March 21-April 19)
You have a lot on your mind. A loved one might challenge your financial wisdom, and will let you know when you are wrong. Maintain a sense of humour rather than become emotional. Someone could change his or her mind about an important matter. Tonight: Your treat.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20)
You'll let go of morning grumpiness by the midafternoon. You will see a path open with agreeable opportunities. Your ability to see way past the obvious and understand results helps you determine your choices. Express your grounded perspective. Tonight: Feel your Wheaties.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20)
Use the morning for important matters. You could discover how awkward you are around a dear friend. You might be picking up this person's need for space. You know what needs to happen, but taking action is another story. Trust your gut. Tonight: Get some R and R.
CANCER (June 21-July 22)
You might feel pressured right now. Part of the problem could be a judgment that you are making about a situation. Try letting go of this preconception, and see what happens. Schedule meetings for the evening, when success greets you more easily. Tonight: Join a pal.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)
Return calls as soon as you can. Pressure builds to be at your finest in the afternoon. You could be arguing an important point or meeting someone who is significant to you. Stay present, and know that you have some observers around you. Tonight: Assume the lead.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
Discussions in the morning might be most effective if done on an individual basis. Some of the conversation could make you uneasy. By the afternoon, you will test out a different perspective that points to several new possibilities. Tonight: Get into Full Moon mode.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
Allow someone else to go in his or her own direction and see the consequences of his or her choices. An afternoon discussion you have will be poignant and important to be part of. A family member or a domestic matter needs attention. Tonight: Togetherness works.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
Clear out errands and other cumbersome details in the morning. You will want to be available in the afternoon to make calls and schedule meetings. Once a conversation starts, it might be difficult to shut down. Be intuitive. Tonight: Let someone else choose.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
Try to lighten up. Recognize the real reason you might be argumentative with others; it has more to do with you than them. Stay focused on one matter at a time. Your intuition takes you down an intriguing path. A supervisor expresses appreciation. Tonight: Make it early.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
Stop fighting an inevitable difference of opinion. You can't seem to reconcile the problem. Perhaps it is only an issue because of your unique perspective. Try to discuss this situation with a friend or colleague. Open up to change. Tonight: Go off and hear some live music.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
You have a tendency to say what you want and mean it. Your bluntness also tends to push people away or create sour feelings. Pressure builds around your home or family life. Make time to listen to someone else's point of view. Tonight: At home. Make it easy!
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)
Deal with a financial situation early on. You won't want to postpone this situation any longer, as it irks you and gets under your skin. Communication is likely to flourish in the afternoon. You might have a lot to say. Others will listen. Tonight: Be responsive.
BORN TODAY: Former U.S. President Theodore Roosevelt (1857), poet Dylan Thomas (1914), actor John Cleese (1939)

Freebie Video
Here are the Freebie Videos that go with the book (page numbers refer to the book). Think short and homemade, not Spielberg meets Astaire. Vids I post that do not fall under Freebie Video will get tagged by topic, which can be searched under "Categories" in the sidebar. If you want to be alerted to new vids, subscribe to the blog or follow me on twitter. Lights, action, cheap-camera-and-iMovie! (Thanks to Skippy Blair at swingworld.com for some of the video clips on this page.)
Page 35 – Counting Sets of 8
Learning how to count sets of 8–a set of 8 is also called a mini-phrase–is one of the secrets to hearing the beat. Even if you can't hear them, sets of 8 (sets of 6 in waltz) are in the music. Think of a mini-phrase as a "sentence" of music. These videos demonstrate counting sets of 8.
- Video 2.1.1 – REPLACEMENT VIDEO – NOTE: It looks like the video 2.1 (two videos down), which has played for many years (over 100,000 views), is now being blocked in most countries (as of September 2018 – it looks like the copyright on "Wade in the Water" has changed, sorry about that). Fear not, I have a series of replacement videos, which actually goes to my new book (Hear the Beat, Feel the Music), that are the exact same video but with different music. Check out the videos 2.1.1 to 2.1.6 on this webpage, HearTheBeatFeelTheMusic.com. Here's video 2.1.1 to get you started:
- Video 2.1 – Counting sets of 8 in easy music (video: 4 min., 6 sec.) (NOTE: As of September 2018, YouTube is blocking the video below in most countries, see video 2.1.1 above):
- Skippy Blair counting sets of 8 with a hand exercise (video: 1 min., 15 sec.):
Page 36 – Counting 32-Beat Phrases
While dancing to the 32-beat phrases is intermediate level material, I think beginners should begin to develop an ear for this stuff. The 32-beat phrase (four sets of 8) is the most common type of major phrase. Think of a major phrase as a "paragraph" of music. This video demonstrates counting 32-beat phrases.
- Video 6.2.`1- REPLACEMENT VIDEO – NOTE: It looks like the original 32-beat video (two videos down), which has played for many years, is now being blocked in most countries (as of September 2018 – it looks like the copyright on "Wade in the Water" has changed, sorry about that). Fear not, I have a replacement video, which actually goes to my new book (Hear the Beat, Feel the Music), that is the exact same video but with different music. Check out the video 6.2.1 on this webpage, HearTheBeatFeelTheMusic.com. Here it is:
- Counting 32-beat phrases in easy music (video: 6 min., 40 sec.) NOTE: As of September 2018, YouTube is blocking the video below in most countries, see video 6.2.1 above:
Page 41 – Hear the Downbeat and Upbeat
While sets of 8 are the secret that defines the beat of the music, I feel the downbeat and upbeat are the secret to hearing the beat. Even if you can't hear it, beats are naturally paired, a downbeat followed by an upbeat. This video identifies the downbeat and upbeat.
- Hear the downbeat and upbeat in easy music (video: 5 min., 49 sec.):
Page 64 – Marking Single Rhythm
A single rhythm is one weight change in two beats of music (double rhythm is two weight changes in two beats of music, triple rhythm is three weight changes in two beats of music). In survival dancing, you'll use mostly singles and doubles. While a double rhythm feels kind of like walking because you step on every beat of music, single rhythm steps on every other beat of music so it's a little trickier. This video demonstrates single rhythm.
- Marking single rhythm (video: 2 min., 41 sec.):
Page 85 – The Closed Position
The closed position is the familiar embrace used in most ballroom dances, although it has variations from dance to dance. It's the dance position to use in survival dancing. Check out some images and a video clip on how to create a dance connection in the closed position.
- Click on this link to a Flickr gallery of still images of couples in the closed position. Note the placement of the guy's right hand at the base of her left shoulder blade. Avoid the sloppiness–don't make come over there to fix it–of letting your right hand slip down to her lower back.
- Skippy Blair shows how to match resistance in the closed position (video: 3 min., 23 sec.):
Page 103 – The Side Step
The basic side step may be the easiest and most versatile step pattern on planet earth. Really, you can do this to just about any kind of music (okay, not a waltz). This video demonstrates the basic side step.
- The basic side step with a rotation (video: 2 min., 15 sec.):
Page 119 – The Sway (aka Oversway)
The sway (technically known as an oversway) is something to fall back on anytime you get lost or confused or don't know what you're doing. But it needs to be done on time (weight changes occurring on the beat of the music) and with a little technique, otherwise you just get an awkward rocking back and forth. This video demonstrates the sway.

Hakuoro here. Although I pretended to be against the idea, I allowed matters to proceed in such a way that I ended up in Na-tunk on a well-deserved vacation with my harem. Unfortunately, we have had to ally ourselves with a group of freedom fighters led by Karura's brother, but provided I keep myself well behind the front lines, there shouldn't be any danger…
Derihourai's forces attack some Na-tunk generics. The named characters help by demonstrating their respective combo attacks. As the enemy are driven back, Derihourai wants to chase after them, but Karura stops him.
Karura: Look, Derihourai, when are you going to accept that your stats are too low for foolish charges into the enemy ranks?
Hakuoro: I agree- if we chase after them, I could, er, I mean you could end up in danger.
That night, the named characters gather together to discuss their strategies.
Derihourai: I don't see why we can't just keep throwing generics at their generics.
Karura: I think you're forgetting something. This arc needs to end promptly, and that means we named characters will have to act. In fact, I know of a convenient back route we can take to get straight to the boss castle.
Derihourai: How could a complete outsider like you know about that?
Karura: Oh, you know how it is, you pick up information here and there.
(Karura: This is easier than I thought- Deri has no idea that it's me!)
Karura: I should also mention that we can only take a small party along- so we'll just take a handful of generic cannon fodder with the named members.
Derihourai: It looks like a long shot, but that's just the way I like it.
Katomau: Sire, as a named character, you should be more careful. Let our generic forces distract the bulk of the enemy for you.
(Hakuoro: What well trained generics- they even volunteer to sacrifice their lives.)
Later that evening, Derihourai and Hakuoro talk privately.
Derihourai: Hakuoro, I have a favour to ask of you. I'd like you to hand over Karura so that I can use her to start my own harem.
(Hakuoro: How presumptuous! Does he really think I'd put such work into building a relationship with Karura, and then hand her over to another man?)
Hakuoro: Derihourai, it isn't good manners to demand that another man give up part of his harem. You must win over the woman with finesse.
(Hakuoro: I think it's safe to say that he presents no threat to me.)
Derihourai: I understand, but Karura is important to me. Although she cannot possibly be the same person, she reminds me of my big sister, Karurauatsuurei. I swore I would not start a harem until I could find a woman that would satisfy me as much as my big sister did.
Later still, Hakuoro goes to see Karura.
(Hakuoro: Time to try my hand at some reverse psychology.)
Hakuoro: Karura, are you sure you would be happy to stay with my harem?
Karura: Master, I have everything I need with you.
(Karura:…not to mention HARD YURI with Urotorii and the others.)
As planned, Derihourai's generics move out to distract Suonkasu's army whilst the named characters sneak into the castle.
Katoumau: Everyone, I know your stats are lower than those of the average enemy generic, but we must hold out for as long as possible.
Suonkasu soldier: Get them! Make sure as few people as possible are left behind to guard the castle!
The generics slash at each other whilst Hakuoro's party makes it to Suonkasu's throne room. They stop at the sight of Suon's special flowers, grown from dead bodies.
Karura: They say growing flowers like this gives them special properties.
Suonkasu sits lazily in his chair. Some generics run out to guard him.
Suonkasu: What do you think, Karura? With these flowers, I can enter a whole new state of perception.
Derihourai: Do you know this man?
Karura: Hmm, possibly.
Hakuoro: Derihourai, don't strain your mental faculties! Just concentrate on the battle!
Derihourai: Good point, Hakuoro!
Derihourai rushes forward to attack Suonkasu, but the generics engage him. More generics appear out of nowhere to attack Hakuoro and the others. Suonkasu remains seated.
Suonkasu: In the game, I actually got up and attacked, but the anime has made my arc so short that I can't even be bothered.
Hakuoro and the named characters attack the generics.
(Hakuoro: This Suonkasu, he seems to know Karura. What if he too is hoping to steal her for his harem?)
Karura: Telepathy mode on! Target Suonkasu.
(Karura: Sorry, Suonkasu, but since I cut off your 'sword', you aren't of much use to me.)
(Suonkasu: I'm offering you special flowers and my undivided attention! What more could you want?)
Derihourai: What are you saying? I can't understand telepathy mode!
Suonkasu: Oh do shut up, Deri. You were only a pawn to lure Karurautsuurei back to me.
Derihourai: Karurauatsuurei? Are you saying that Karura is actually my sister!?
Suonkasu: Karura, I am the best choice for you! Let us begin a new life sniffing the special flowers and adding bodies to the garden!
(Hakuoro: This is bad- what if he convinces her to stay with him? I'd better start fighting on the front lines for once.)
(Derihourai: I won't let anyone else have Karura!)
(Urotorii: I must fight for the sake of my HARD GAY partner.)
Everyone attacks the generics with renewed vigour. Derihourai and Karura break through to Suonkasu.
Karura: Derihourai, I'll let you have the killing blow- you need the EXP more than I do.
Karura knocks Suonkasu down, and Derihourai finishes him off.
Suonkasu: Why am I dying so easily…at the hands of this weakling?
Suonkasu's corpse falls into his beloved flowers.
Derihourai: I think I've just figured it out- you're my big sister, right?
Karura: I'm sorry, but I think you've confused me for some other Karura. Now run along boy, and go play with your generics.
Derihourai: Okay- but you'll be waiting for me when I get back, right?
Karura: Oh, of course.
Derihourai runs off.
(Karura: Still so gullible. How can I be related to an idiot like him?)
Karura: Okay everyone, let's go.
Eruruu: Wait, but I thought you promised…
(Eruruu: I thought for a moment there I'd finally got rid of a rival.)
Urotorii: Eruruu, if Karura doesn't come back with us, we can't enjoy the full potential of HARD YURI.
(Hakuoro: My fears turned out to be unfounded after all.)
Whilst Derihourai proclaims that Na-tunk is to replaced with his nation of Karurauatsuurei, Hakuoro and the others slip away and return home.
Some time later, Derihourai brings a delegation to visit Tusukuru.
(Derihourai: I must let the Tusukuru emperor know that a new harem master is in town.)
Derihourai is surprised to find that Hakuoro is the emperor.
Derihourai: You were the main character all along? I hadn't guessed.
Hakuoro: I don't believe we've met before.
Derihourai: Oh, you're right- my mistake.
(Hakuoro: He truly is no threat to me.)
Later, Karura watches as Derihourai's delegation leaves. Hakuoro approaches.
(Hakuoro: A little more reverse psychology could be needed here, just in case she has second thoughts.)
Hakuoro: You know, you can go with him if you want.
Karura: I don't think there's any need for that.
(Hakuoro: Excellent. It may have been a little risky, but I've pulled off a significant relationship boost with Karura.)
With his harem vacation over and Suonkasu defeated, what lies in wait for our hero? Find out next time.

UC professor speaking out against marketing of higher ed
Think today's college degree will have you rolling off campus on graduation day well-rounded in academics and prepared for a career and the rigors of life? Think again. According to UC Berkeley public policy Professor David Kirp, that notion is fast becoming quaint.
Kirp, 59, has been at UC Berkeley since 1971, where he landed after teaching at Harvard's Graduate School of Education from 1968 to 1971. He has a law degree from Harvard and was an associate editor at the Sacramento Bee from 1983 to 1985.
In his new book, "Shakespeare, Einstein and the Bottom Line: The Marketing of Higher Education" (Harvard University Press, $29.95), Kirp asserts that faced with dwindling budgets, universities are increasingly resorting to sophisticated marketing techniques to attract the lifeblood of any college -- tuition-paying students.
Now students are more apt to consider whether the school of their dreams has a sushi bar (like Babson College in Massachusetts) or offers whirlpools and big-screen TVs in the dorm rooms (like Michigan State). Whether they'll be grappling with "Macbeth" or the theory of relativity their freshman year has become an afterthought.
While the change in emphasis is a two-way street -- potential students expect a spa-like atmosphere these days as much as the colleges are willing to provide it -- Kirp puts the blame on the shoulders of university enrollment managers who have put the perks ahead of the basics in order to have a competitive edge. Today's atmosphere clearly bothers Kirp. He says students should be "acolytes who come to college to develop their preferences, not consumers with prepackaged preferences that a school must satisfy."
A more extreme example of a marketing makeover occurred in 1999 at the University of Massachusetts. In order to shed its image as a party school often derided as "ZooMass," it has started a separate honors campus called Commonwealth College. Select students with higher academic credentials (in 2002 the median high school grade-point average of entering freshmen was 3.9) get nicer housing and smaller classes.
Another key factor in the marketing of a university is its perceived prestige, measured not only in the star quality of the faculty, but the Scholastic Aptitude Test scores of the incoming students. Keeping score in the prestige derby is the national newsmagazine U.S. News & World Report. Its annual rankings of the nation's universities have become the bible for prospective students and administrators.
Because so much importance has been put on the magazine's rankings, colleges such as Harvard will inflate their incoming students' SAT scores. Kirp reports that in 1995 the Wall Street Journal ran a story about how some notable universities reported one SAT figure to bond rating agencies and another higher figure to U.S. News & World Report for its annual college ranking issue. "Harvard could not explain a 15-point discrepancy in its reported SAT scores," he wrote.
"Schools sometimes do whatever they can -- fair or foul -- to move up the ladder," Kirp said in a statement. "Schools even encourage applicants who have no chance of getting admitted -- rejecting lots of students also makes a school seem more selective. This is one form of competition from which no one benefits."
In order to achieve the kind of SAT scores needed to get into top schools (1,400 and up), affluent parents will spend thousands on coaching provided by consultants (often ex-college admissions officials) who know the ropes. With fees and tuition escalating at private and public institutions, poorer students face yet another disadvantage in getting into the cream-of-the-crop schools when they can't afford pricey consultants, let alone the tuition. That's one of the reasons Kirp favors affirmative action programs.
Ahmed Mazboudi, 25, chose San Francisco State University because it has lower tuition than other schools. As a nonresident -- he's from Lebanon -- he has to pay about nine times more in fees than residents. Ahmed says he wanted to study broadcasting and noted that SF State was ranked as one of the top five schools in the country for that.
He said it was only after he was enrolled here that he learned that UC was considered more prestigious.
"I don't know what all the discrimination is about," he says. "Graduate from Berkeley or from S.F. State, it would be the same in Lebanon or most other countries."
Ironically, there may be one bright spot for lower-income students in the over-marketing of higher education -- the often derided for-profit vocational schools. In his book, Kirp focuses on the recent success of DeVry University and the University of Phoenix. While neither touts its frat parties, both are tuned to the marketplace and can provide their students with jobs once they graduate.
"DeVry graduates more African American engineers than any other university in the country. And because these schools make it a point to know what skills the regional job market is looking for, their graduates generally get good jobs. For a student interested in a technical career, it's hard not to pick a place like DeVry over the big, impersonal -- and broke -- regional state universities and community colleges," Kirp said.
Book signing
UC public policy Professor David Kirp will sign copies of his book, "Shakespeare, Einstein and the Bottom Line: The Marketing of Higher Education, " at 12:30 p.m. Thursday at Stacey's Bookstore, 581 Market St., San Francisco.

Storms in Kampong Thom's Stung Sen town this week resulted in four injuries and damage to 55 homes, local authorities said yesterday.
Srayov commune police chief Kang Sorn said the storm began at about 5:30pm on Wednesday, with strong winds and torrential rains wreaking havoc on residents in the area.
"We received reports from law enforcement that … four villagers were injured and some 55 homes were damaged by the rain and [wind]," he said.
Sorn added that gusts knocked down parts of residents' homes, and in some cases, hurt villagers.
Most of the injured suffered head wounds due to debris falling from their homes, while others were also harmed. One resident suffered a broken left hand.
Saom Thy, chief of Srayov commune, said the victims – Lang Mao, 20, Chum Vy, 47, Chum Sen, 52, and Hem Vibol, 18 – were currently undergoing treatment at the provincial hospital.
"Two of the victims – Chum Vy and Lang Mao – have not yet regained consciousness because of their severe head injuries," he explained.

This is an English version of the interview about women in tech, originally published by Mamo Pracuj*
People tend to love the IT industry for its openness to employees and their ideas. If we add the lack of hierarchy, flat structure and flexibility, do we really have to do anything more to convince you to work in the industry? Rita Pater, from u2i, reminds us that programming was a typically female activity in the beginning. How did we come to this point when nowadays IT is overwhelmingly dominated by men? Is #MamoPracujwIT initiative even necessary then?
Mamo Pracuj: Rita, during our conversation at your office you mentioned that IT was once female-oriented to such an extent that it was considered a job for women. Unfortunately, while working on #MamoPracujwIT we don't feel like we push at an open door. There are plenty of stereotypes in this field which make it not such an obvious choice for women now… Why is it?
Rita Pater: I still seek the answer to this question. I think this mindset is only in our heads and the steps that Mamo Pracuj takes are a milestone in the direction of changing attitudes among women.
Back in the 50s, when very few people thought about the actual programming, the duties were as follows: men took care of building hardware whereas women were responsible for providing the algorithms enabling it to work. Writing code was considered easier. Attention to details, diligence, patience and ability to reflect logical reasoning into code – these were all female traits.
According to the article from Stanford University, once men discovered software was more complex and challenging than they initially thought, they started to switch their careers in this direction. The perception of IT changed and programming wasn't viewed as a simple and secondary task anymore. Professional associations started to emerge. They often allowed only male members.
MP: And that's how guys dominated the IT industry.
RP: Yep, fast-forward by a couple of decades and the industry is firmly dominated by men – especially when it comes to the prestigious role of a software developer – but we've been noticing a change recently. Above all, education is widely accessible. There are no restrictions or implicit barriers that would prevent women from taking jobs in new technology. Of course, some stereotypes and prejudices have developed throughout the years, but when you encounter a mature company with a healthy and human attitude that doesn't differentiate between male and female developers, there's no such thing as a conflict between those two groups. In this case, organisational culture plays the most relevant role. Thankfully, I am a part of a company that embraces such a culture.
MP: You work for u2i, a company which has hosted our workshops on programming and testing recently. What do you do at work and how do you find the IT industry?
RP: I joined u2i a year and a half ago as a PR & Brand manager. Since then I've been taking care of planning and the realisation of image campaigns on the local market (employer branding). But I've never felt as if I held a strict position and dealt with the same stuff all over again. You see, according to our organisation's policy, we can contribute to a variety of "extracurricular" projects or groups. Because of it, the employees continue to develop their skills which in turn makes them more satisfied with their jobs. Therefore, my responsibilities have changed since I got here. Currently I'm involved in business development, coordinating efforts on the internal product and marketing strategies directly impacting the company's development.
MP: PR & Brand manager among a couple of dozens of software developers… hmm… It seems like it's impossible to have no clue of what your peers do. Do you? If so, where did you acquire such knowledge?
RP: I come from the branch of event management. A couple of years ago I organised Blog Experts – the second greatest conference for semi-professional bloggers back then. Given the location, I took an interest in the startup community of Kraków, thus new technologies. I've been following the trends and achievements of Polish and worldwide tech companies ever since, being at the same time a strategist consulting their PR efforts. Before joining u2i I had a couple of years of experience in marketing for IT companies, so I knew what to expect.
Working for a software house whose clients are tech companies seemed like a challenge I was willing to face. Of course, there were some areas I had to catch up on. Thankfully, knowledge sharing is commonplace at u2i, so my colleges supported me in these matters.
MP: Why do you value working in IT ? What convinced you and still convinces new candidates to become a part of u2i?
RP: What amazed me the most was highly developed organisational culture, employee care , collective responsibility for everything u2i does, and last but not least, the flat structure which facilitates communication with the team as well as the management. I can still remember one of my first days here when I barely knew anyone. Somebody in the kitchen started a conversation by asking what my plans for the job were. We chatted for several minutes and it wasn't until a couple of days later that I found out it was the founder of u2i, Tom Clarke, visiting Poland at that time. Personally, I've never got the feeling of having an actual boss at u2i. What I do know though, is that the company gathers some true leaders.
As to potential candidates – this May we launched the recruitment for the summer internships for students. We were astonished by the number of people applying – 150. I think what attracts people the most is openness and again the internal organisational culture we try to highlight in different ways. We are present at conferences, we support initiatives like yours, we make our space available for workshops. Every few months we throw a "Waffle Breakfast Party" gathering people from new tech, marketing and PR. Everything we post on our social media channels builds up an image of a company operating for over a decade in Polish IT.
MP: Rita, u2i is a software house where the majority of employees are developers. How many of them are women?
RP: There are 9 women at u2i, most of which are experienced developers. E.g. Marysia. She used to work as a full-time developer but she made a pivot in her career and now she's a team leader. Due to the flat structure I mentioned before, we are not constrained by job titles. Quite a few times I've also been sung the praises of Laura, who embarrasses her male colleges in terms of technical skills!
MP: There is also Agnieszka, who was promoted just 3 months before giving birth.
That's right, Agnieszka's been with us for 8 years. In February 2015 she came back after over a year of maternity leave. Her comeback wasn't as ordinary as for the majority of women though. Only when her son became 3-months-old, she took advantage of the vacations in order to improve her competences, learn new technologies and polish the skills she'd acquired at u2i before.
I remember Agnieszka working part-time from the office for a few months after the leave in order to get her son ready for the absence of both parents by leaving him with his nanny. A few hours of working remotely along with complete absence is what got the boy used to his momma's busyness. He spent that time with his father or the nanny. Flexible work hours allowed her and the family to adjust to the transition in the least harmful way possible. Agnieszka herself is passionate about programming. Asked if she likes her job, she responded she couldn't imagine herself in a different profession (even though her dream job as a child would be in the armed forces).
Ever since I immersed myself in the field of new technologies, my view has changed significantly. From what I've noticed there is no such thing as monotony here. Getting back to my talk with Agnieszka, she also told me she took pride in doing things calling for a different approach to every task which leads to day-to-day self-improvement. It was the ultimate confirmation of our outlooks on professional progression being alike. You can face new challenges and opportunities no matter if you're a marketer or developer. Personally, I have never been more convinced that learning programming and working with new technologies is for both men and women and there's no such term as boredom in our vocab.

Even though you'd think that they would never want to revisit the hellish 2016 election once it's all over, Stephen Colbert and John Oliver have scheduled an onstage meetup for November 19 to discuss what transpired. The event will take place at the New Jersey Performing Arts Center and will benefit the Montclair Film Festival. According to a press release, it "will feature the pair in an hilarious, on-stage exchange on everything from their comic influences to the political season that will have concluded with the November election."
The official title for the get-together is Wow, That Was Weird: A Post-Election Evening With Stephen Colbert and John Oliver. We're guessing the past tense implies that these two figure that everything will turn out okay on November 8, and we'll all be ready to have a good laugh—but maybe we're just being optimistic.
The next edition of the Montclair Film Festival is set to take place in April 2017. Colbert is intimately associated with the Jersey-based fest—his wife Evelyn is president of its Board of Trustees.

"Without the T's" is my film review for both current theatrical releases and any release on home video that I may see. I treat these as a way to discuss and understand a film for it's merits and demerits, but unfortunately since it's a review I hindered by two main points: A grade and a gimmick. Therefore, the more I enjoy a film the more of the letter "T" will be included in the write-up of the film, with "lesser" film reviews becoming more and more incomprehensible.
Star Trek Into Darkness is a lot of fun. Does it further the pursui of cinema as an art form, and does it push narrative boundaries? Oh my, no. This is a popcorn movie, and it has litle if any cultural message or truths about humanity. However, it serves to further what Abrams' first film in the reboo franchise set out: Spaceships, explosions, and two Spocks. The questions of humanity and society hat have been present in most iterations of Star Trek have been removed, but in it's place is a sense of advenure and exploration, which I feel still serves the Star Trek universe well.
Star Trek Ino Darkness follows James Tiberius Kirk and the crew of the USS Enterprise as they hunt down a fugitive into Klingon Space and back to Earth (SPOILER ALER: The fugitive is KHAAAAAAAN). Along the way we find out about tha the head of Star Flee was behind the resuscitaion of this fugitive from cryostasis (again, SPOILER ALERT, this is KHAAAAAAAAAN) and now he's trying to right his wrong by blowing up him and his entire genetically modified clone clan and stranding the Enerprise in Klingon space, placing the blame on Kirk and sarting a full on galactic war (SPOILER ALERT: Galactic wars never end well. Also Benedict Cumberbatch is KHAAAAAAAN). Also along the way Scotty gets fired and has a trip to Jupiter, we have the closest thing the film comes to a philosophical or cultural message abou the military industrial complex, and then a whole bunch of things explode and people get sucked into space and lens flares are so present hat I wouldn't be surprised if the next movie revolves around lens flares asking for a seat in the galactic council (they're home planet, Baybrahms 9, then gets atacked by the mysterious Chiaroscuro. It turns out to be V-Ger). Also, along the way both Kirk and Spock get to yell "KHAAAAAAAAAN", alhough Spock gets the beter moment.
There aren't many surprises, it's general Blockbuster fare, and it doesn't quite have the same core of Sci-Fi as the series and to a lesser exten the first Abrams film did. But it still has a few merits: Firstly, this is a very prety movie (although you may have to take out a lens flare or five). The art direction, the design of the future, even the softer lighting inside of the starships make for a light, enjoyable piece.
However, the true redeeming factor of Sar Trek Into Darkness is the acting. In Abrams' first film he gave us a wonderfully dynamic Enterprise crew, one much more fleshed out than they were throughou much of the original series. Although many of the crew members don't get nearly the spotlight they had in the first film, and Bones mostly exists as a vessel for one-liners, the core group of the Enterprise is still enjoyable to watch. Anton Yelchin's Chekov, in particular, gives every line he has such enthusiasm and gusto hat even when he's info-dumping about how spaceships fly he fills you with glee. Yelchin also gets the fine distinction of helping flesh out Chekov's characer a bit more form the original series. Finally, the tour-de-force of Star Trek Into Darkness, is Benedict Cumberbatch as the arch-villain KHAAAAAAAAN. Cumberbatch gives the warlord an animalisic harshness hat wasn't present in Ricardo Montalbon's previous incarnation but help cement KHAAAAAN as a cunning and worthy adversary to the indestrucible Jim Kirk. It isn't any surprise hat Cumberbatch is the highlight of the film, but it's wonderful to see him geting work and playing a different type of anti-social behavior than Sherlock Holmes.
So, although it's certainly not groundbreaking, Star Trek Into Darkness serves its purpose as a blockbuser and has a handful of performances hat tip it just over the average mark. Thus, for the arbitrary grade, we'll give it:

TEARAWAY teens tried to goad police into a chase before speeding off on a stolen motorbike and hitting a patrol van head-on, the Evening News can reveal.
The two 16-year-old boys were spotted weaving across both carriageways in Salters Road, Dalkeith, on the powerful bike moments before ploughing into the front of the Transit van.
They were taken to the Edinburgh Royal Infirmary after the smash at 4.20am yesterday but miraculously neither suffered life threatening injuries – despite not wearing helmets.
Nearby resident David Millar, 32, said: "They were lucky – especially not wearing any gear."
The teen riders are understood to have taunted a police patrol car near the entrance to Dalkeith Country Park by revving the engine of the bike, which had foreign plates.
They then sped off with a car, possibly a Peugeot, in convoy, while police called in support to track the vehicles but avoided a pursuit over safety fears.
The police Transit involved in the smash was responding to the officers' call when the stolen bike headed towards them on Salters Road.
One of the riders suffered serious ankle and head injuries while his companion sustained minor leg and pelvic injuries.
Two police officers in the Transit were also taken to hospital as a precaution with whiplash injuries.
Salters Road was sealed off by police who launched an investigation and later charged one of the teens.
"Police in Midlothian are continuing to investigate a road traffic collision on Salters Road in Dalkeith," said a police spokeswoman. "The incident happened at around 4.20am on Wednesday, June 13 when a motorcycle was involved in a collision with a police vehicle.
"Two 16-year-old youths were taken to the Edinburgh Royal Infirmary by the Scottish Ambulance Service. One sustained minor injuries and the other sustained serious, but non-life-threatening, injuries.
"A 16-year-old male since has been charged in connection with this and a report will be submitted."
Salters Road was closed all morning but reopened by midday when a covering of sand to soak up oil on the road surface was the only sign of the crash. A number of drivers and the East Coast 140 service were diverted as a result of the closure.
Mr Millar said the 40mph road was "well policed" during the day but a different story at night.
"The police are often sat with speed traps up the road during the day so it's fine, but in the evening there's boy racers tearing past at easily double the speed limit," he added.
"It's mainly cars but you get bikes as well. There's a couple of bends but there's not been any other accidents recently."

Stevns KlintNot far from Rødvig Camping you can experience the majestic Cliffs of Stevns
The Cliff consists of limestone and chalk, and a look through these layers gives a fascinating view of Danish history. One of the more fascinating facts of this layout is the layer that divides the two. The Fish Layer, which consists, as is evident from the name, of fossils of fish and fish gills. One of the most fascinating aspects of the Cliffs is the geological discovery of a high amount of iridium, which tells a tale of a world wide natural disaster 65 million years ago. At Hoejerup the Fish Layer can be spotted approximately halfway down the Cliff. The Chalk layer began assembling approximately 70 million years ago, and is the foundation of the Cliffs. Within this layer discoveries of fossilised sharks and crocodiles from the Late Cretaceous Period have shed light on some of the animals that lived near The Cliff of Stevns initially, if you're lucky, you may even be able to spot some of these remnants. However, if you cannot spot this, then a visit to
Stevns museum is always advisable if you're interested in fossils.
Højerup old ChurchAt the edge of The Cliff of Stevns there is a Church-
Højerup old Church that was built in the 13th century. Legend tells us that the church moves inland each year on Christmas Night; however this could not avert the natural disaster that struck in 1928: one of the fascinating stories in this region is the fact that due to water erosion the church tower collapsed in 1928 and landed on the beach. Each year approximately 10 cm (Approx. 5 inches) of the Cliff is swallowed by continual water erosion. Originally the church was built 50 m. inland of the Cliffs edge, and now the church stands at the water edge. In order to avert further disasters the Church has had a support wall built on the cliff, and at sea level a rock formation has been strategically positioned to avoid further corrosion in the near future. During daytime there is free entrance to the church, and make sure that if you do visit to go on the balcony and take in the stunning view.
Next to Hoejrup old Church (Højerup gl. Kirke) a flight of stairs leads downward to the beach. The beach with its limestone is not created for an extended exceedingly saunter; however it is impressive to see the Cliffs from the beach. If you are at the church, make sure you do take this walk, it is especially beautiful during the noon hour, and in the early morning where it looks extraordinary.
The tramp-path of Stevns Klint
Stevns Clint has a coastline that is 42 Km long, and offers a wide variety of adventures. It is a nice adventure to walk the path along the cliffs, experiencing the unique nature as well as the attractive and dramatic view. The 22 km path runs between the harbours of Rødvig and Bøgeskov. In the leaflet "Enjoy the Thrills of Stevns Klint", there is a detailed description of what to see along the path as well as a map. It is possible to order the leaflet from the tourist office of Stevns. Use of the path is at your own responsibility! Bicycling and dogs running loose are NOT allowed www.visitstevns.dk
Rødvig Havn - worth a visitJust 2 km. from the camping is Rødvig town and harbour.
To many the harbour of Rødvig is considered to be the very essence of Stevns. This is because of the many yachtsmen, who visit the yachting marina and adjoining fishing harbour each year. Just next to the yachting marina, you will find the very trademark of Rødvig – the flint oven. The oven was used from 1870-1910 to produce flint powder for faience and glaze for porcelain, from flintstones found on the beaches nearby. For more information about the cliff, please ask for the brochure "Enjoy the thrills of Stevns Klint" from the information at Rødvig Camping
There are 6 restaurants / places to dine in Rødvig.
Not far from the camping, you find a nice, sandy beach, safe for the children, and known as the best beach at Stevns.
About 10 minutes walk - or 900 meter - brings you to the beach. Turn right out from the camping, then the first street on your left, (Maelskifterne), and strait through the summer-house area – follow the path across the grass-meadow, then continue strait ahead at Pileager and Gøgevej, to the beach.
Enjoy the water in the summer, or a good 10-15 min. walk along the beach to the harbour the rest of the year.
Churches - Make it a day trip When driving along on the curved roads on Stevn, passing through many villages one is often astonished by the many well preserved, old village churches.
On the photo to the left you find the Sct. Katharina Church in St. Heddinge. Sct. Katharina is unique in Denmark. It was build in th 13.th century with an octagonal nave. To the sides of the nave are cloistes with secret rooms built for defends purposes and this was most likely part of a monastery. According to the legend it was here that the Cliff King defended Stevns from foreign enemies.
There are 19 village-churges on Stevns.
Stevnsfortet - Do you know the history?
The deepest secret of the Cold War in Denmark - Now open to the public.For more than four decades, the underground fortress and its heavy artillery guns controlled all Warsaw Pact navy ships entering and leaving the Baltic Sea.

600 years old, this is Denmark's only inhabited medieval castle. It is built of limestone from Stevns Klint.In former times Gjorslev estate owned the most of North Stevns. Today 4,125 acres of farm and the woodland belong to the estate.Part of the large castle park is open to the public, but the castle itself only opens its doors to visitors on special occasions.
Copenhagen - The beautiful capital of Denmark
Combining camping and urban holidays is a possibility when you stay at Rødvig Camping. One of Europe's capitals with an international athmosphere is only 1 hour away. So if you want to stroll throug the shopping streets, take the children to Tivoli, or exploit all the other possibilities of the big city, it is all within reach from Rødvig Camping.Drive your car all the way to Copenhagen, it takes about 1 hour.

Fundraiser = success

Yesterday was one of the largest fundraisers the Dream Factory will have this year. Ron Dougan, an amazing volunteer, more or less single handedly put together this event, raising thousands of dollars that will grant dreams for critically and chronically ill children in Northwest Missouri. Tammy Cochran was the star of the show, and she was amazing – not to mention sweet as can be to the dream kids at the concert.

And the rest is rust and stardust.
Lolita, light of my life, fire of my loins. My sin, my soul.... All at once we were madly, clumsily, shamelessly, agonizingly in love with each other; hopelessly, I should add, because that frenzy of mutual possession might have been assuaged only by our actually imbibing and assimilating every particle of each other's soul and flesh; but there we were, unable even to mate as slum children would have so easily found an opportunity to do so.

Celebrating 200 years of Indian language journalism, Indian Institute of Mass Communication (IIMC), Dhenkanal organized a seminar on 'Future of language journalism' here on Monday. Speaking on this occasion, senior media academician professor Subir Ghosh seemed quite optimistic regarding the future of Indian language journalism and said, "Indian language journalism has an exceptional future ahead."
Deliberating on 'Future of language journalism' Ghosh said, "A huge chunk of India's population is yet to be educated. Statistics say that the literacy rate of the country is growing rapidly. Hence, it's safe to presume that there is a greater number of readers which will consume media content in the future. This increasing number of readers will lead to a tremendous growth in the news industry and Indian language news outlets will be the prime beneficiaries."
The seminar, organized in association with Odisha State Open University (OSOU) and Odisha Journalists Union (OJU) was graced by Prof. Subir Ghosh, Registrar of OSOU Dr Jayant Kar Sharma, HOD of Mass Communication and Journalism Department of Nagarjuna University Dr Anita Gaddipaty, Senior Journalist Sandeep Sahu and Editor of Daily Hiranchal Jugal Kishor Samal and Head of the Institute Prof. Dr. Mrinal Chatterjee. Dr. Gaddipaty deliberated on the evolution of Telugu Journalism while Ghosh and Samal shared their views on Bangla and Odia journalism respectively. Sandeep Sahu deliberated on the future of Broadcast and Digital media in Odisha. The deliberations were followed by question-answer sessions where the dignitaries responded to the queries of the students.
Dr. Chatterjee, in his curtain-raising speech, said, "Indian Language Journalism has a bright history, is having a bright present and will definitely have a bright future. Of course, there have been challenges and these challenges will remain in the future also. But if the budding generation of journalists prepares itself for these challenges and have the courage not to compromise with the core professional and ethical values, language journalism will shine in future like it has always has."
Dr. Anita, on the other hand, pondered upon the importance of raising local issues in the regional news outlets. She said, "Regional media is ought to fight for the regional cause. It has to portray the stories the region and raise the voice in their favor in order to maintain it's readers' base. So in a way, Language newspapers not only protect the language but also protect the regional interest."
Dr. Kar Sharma opined, "The government should take necessary steps to protect the interests of the fourth pillar of the democracy. Like Judiciary, media can work for the betterment of the society is made a part of the Democratic establishment."
Notably, the first language newspaper, Digdarshan in Bengali was published in 1818 and 4 August happens to be Odia Journalism Day. On this day in 1866, the first Odia newspaper UtkalDeepika was published. IIMC tried to celebrate these two historic events through this seminar.

Welcome to the OWEE commnity page.
The OWEE community benefits from several programs, which are administered by the OWEE board of directors.

We historically choose the location a year in advance at our summit board meeting so would need your proposal a few weeks before that. We plan to announce the location of the 2020 summit at the 2019 summit.
Cafe Mentoring
Because the pay-what-you-can community cafe concept is relatively new and uncommon, people who wish to open a cafe have few resources to draw upon apart from the OWEE network. OWEE board members offer one-on-one or group mentoring and consulting to anyone interested in starting a cafe or modifying an existing restaurant to include pay-what-you-can pricing.
Additionally, the 80-page manual OWEE Guide to Starting a Community Cafe offers a clear description of how to begin. The author is OWEE Board Member Rev. Dr. Chris May, who was a founding board member of F.A.R.M. Cafe in Boone, NC, has done research on the pay-what-you-can model, and teaches non-profit management at Appalachian State University.
Cafe Funding
When funds are available, OWEE offers grants to start-up and existing cafes. It has also provided kitchen equipment and reference books and materials.
OWEE hopes to make two grants to cafes at the 2019 summit.
Community of Practice
OWEE supports and fosters of community of practice for member cafe operators, staff, and volunteers, who have in common a passion for food security and community building and want to learn from each other about how to manage successful cafes. Through sharing experiences, members are able to develop professionally and personally.
OWEE manages a private Facebook discussion forum, where cafe operators interact, ask questions, and offer advice. As well, the OWEE Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram pages provide a virtual community in which members share ideas, photos, news, and events.
We have an 'open' call to OWEE board members the FIRST SUNDAY of every month at 8:00pm- 8:15pm EST. We would love to hear from you about your progress, comments, suggestions, ideas, questions, etc
Phone Number: 605.475.3250
Access Code: 568481
Body of Knowledge
Over the years, OWEE has developed a set of concepts, terms, and activities that make up its professional domain. This foundation of accumulated knowledge includes the core teachings, essential competencies, skills, and research in the pay-what-you-can community cafe arena. This structured information is used by OWEE members to guide their work and practice.
OWEE maintains an online library of resources for member cafes. The organization is building a database of operational information and statistics from across the network, which will demonstrate benefits, impact, and gaps in performance.
Collaborative Partnerships
OWEE board members are working to form collaborative associations with like-minded national and global nonprofits and corporations that are centered on food security and with academics doing research on hunger. Moreover, partnerships have been formed and are being sought with organizations that offer support to community cafes. For example, a recent agreement with TOAST, Inc. allows member cafes to purchase a restaurant point-of-sale (POS) system at a reduced price.
