I am a 51 year old male that has suffered from a persistent cough for years. The doctor's have treated it with antibiotics and medicines to relieve sinius infections and it has been treated as acid reflux. Through my own research, I believe the correct diagnosis is "Exercise Asthma" or "Hyper Reflex Asthma", I am not positive though. I get relief when I sleep, the cough at the moment is almost constant, except when I sleep. I have swollen lymph glands, the cough reacts to cold air and chemical smells. It is productive, I constantly feel like I have to clear my throat. I usually have a mild soreness in my throat and ears. This is an on going struggle for me. Is there a recgnized therapy for the treatment and control of these symptoms? Nothing the doctors have done so far has worked? Through my reading I am lead to believe that one of the causes may be the over use of antibotics? I do get relief although only temporary, when the infection is treated with antibiotics. I am really tired of hacking my way through life. It is hard to be social, when I am coughing all the time. Also, the cough is worse when I exercise. please help if you can? Bill
PS I also suffer from Arthritis.

Movement of Home Based Workers in South Asia
HomeNet South Asia is a network organisation of women homebased workers promoted by UNIFEM and SEWA. It was set up after the Kathmandu Declaration, formulated in an international conference convened in Nepal in year 2000. Women in Informal Employment: Globalizing and Organizing (WIEGO) provided the technical and research foundation on which the Kathmandu Declaration was based. The formal launching of HomeNet South Asia was held on January 17, 2007 in the Conference "Women Work & Poverty Policy Conference on Home Based Workers of South Asia" which was inaugurated by the then Prime Minister of India, Dr. Manmohan Singh.
Facts & Figures
Global Scenario
A survey in seven countries revealed that Homebased workers represent between 10 and 25 per cent of the non-agricultural workforce ...
Who are Home Based Workers
Homebased workers are:
Own-account workers, and contributing family workers helping the own-account workers, involved in the production of goods and services for the market, ...
HomeNet South Asia (HNSA) & Aim of our Regional Development (Road) had a meeting with Hon' Mayor of Bhubaneshwar on 4th August, 2015. The objective of the meeting was to take up the urban civic issues of the slums (Jharana Sahi & Sitanath Nagar) where Road is implementing the Pilot Programme with HomeNet South Asia.
During the meeting, Sanitation Issue and Water Stand Posts issues were discussed. Immediately, Mayor introduced us to the concerned engineers for immediate actions in the said slums.
He also agreed to provide Residence Proof to the Women Homebased Workers in the slums where Road is implementing the Urban Programme, which is need of the Slum Dwellers.
Water Stand Post - Sitanath Nagar (Bhubaneshwar)
Sanitation Issue - Jharana Sahi (Bhubaneshwar)
Residence Proof Given by Hon' Mayor to Slum Dwellers of Tati Basti- Bhubaneshwar
HomeNet South Asia Team visited Nepal in May, 2015 after the Nepal Earthquake Disaster to assess the situation of Homebased Workers in terms of their loss in homes, tools/ equipments and job orders and in addition to explore livelihood opportunities for the affected homebased workers
HomeNet South Asia (HNSA) has 6 Member organizations- Saathi, Women for Human Rights (WHR), SABAH Nepal, Homebased Workers' Concern Society (HBWCN), Khonkana Women Awareness Society (KWAS), and Class Nepal in Nepal whose reach is to around 14,000 Homebased Workers (HBWs) in different districts of Nepal.
Team visited four districts- Kathmandu, Lalitpur, Nuwakot and Kavre and covered 13 clusters Godawari, Ramhiti, Jaagritinagar, Pathibhara, Mulpani, Bungamati, Khonkana, Dhulikhel, Machhegaun, Sunakoti, Sankhu, Khanikhola and Buddha where the member organizations were working with hbws. The Method of Assessment was through Focussed Group discussions.
Homebased Workers in these clusters were mainly engaged into below mentioned trades which are categorized into piece rate & own account workers
Piece Rate Workers: - Stitching; Carpet Weaving; Knitting; Dhup Making; embroidery; carpet making; Buddhist Handicrafts; Butti Making; Radi Weaving
Own – Account Workers: - Food Stall; Chatai Making; Drying of Palak; Retailer & Agarbatti Shop; Furat Dana Making; Briquette fuel;
During our visit, we observed that 1) the shops are closed from where the homebased workers were getting orders. (Reason:- Either the shopkeepers are Indian or at places the shopkeepers have lost their houses or shopkeepers themselves are not getting orders from other bigger shops) 2) At places; hbws were getting orders or raw materials from the Indian Shops; but after the earthquake Indians have returned to their country 3) Hbws were still in trauma and they feared to live their kids back home and buy raw materials from the market 4) Main Priority for Hbws was to rebuild their homes; as home is workplace for homebased workers 5)Homebased Workers also didn't have enough capital to buy raw material and restart their work 6) Homebased Workers engaged into Embroidery have lost Embroidery Tan.Check Detailed Visit Report
Immediately after the Earthquake also, HomeNet South Asia supported its 6 member Organization with required Relief Material of Tarpaulins, Mosquito Coils & Sanitary Napkins. Also, HNSA facilitated linkages with support agencies like UN Women-Nepal, American Jewish Development Committee (JDC), Un Residence Representative-Nepal, Innovative Solutions, etc providing relief and rehab work. In addition to the linkages, HomeNet South Asia is also awarded Project on "Rehabilitation Support for homebased Workers in Nepal" by American Jewish Development Committee (JDC) for its 6 Members Organizations in Nepal.
American Jewish Development Committee (JDC), soon after the earthquake organized Psycho-Socio Counselling in May 2015 for the Staff and Leaders of member organizations of HomeNet South Asia.The detailed documentation of the impact of the training can be checked here.
Training on "Organizing and Leadership":- 8th -11th September,2014
Training on "Organizing and Leadership" for the hbws leaders of Bhubaneshwar has been organized by HomeNet South Asia(HNSA) in association with Indian Academy for Self Employed Women's Association (IASEW) from 8th -11th September,2014 under the Funding Leadership Opportunities for Women(Flow) Programme. HomeNet South Asia has partnered with Aim of our Regional Development(Road) under Inclusive Cities Project to mobilize and organize homebased workers around urban issues in Bhubaneshwar. 18 Leaders organised by Road and 3 staff ( Mobilizer, Programme Manager & Chairperson) will be attending the Training, some of these leaders have already taken up the basic foundation Training on "Organizing & Leadership" in Feb 2014 in Bhubaneshwar.
After a period of time, as these leaders are continuously working in the field, there was a need felt to address their issues at ground level. Therefore, four days training and field visits with Indian School of Academy would address their prevailing issues and challenges like Organizing around their Issues, Formation of groups ,Communication Techniques, Information sharing among the group, Motivation and activation of group, Benefits of Organizing, Running the group, Trust Building and transparency.
HomeNet South Asia with SEWA has been awarded a project " Strengthening the livelihood of homebased workers in South Asia" has promoted non-profit company called SABAH in all 7 countries of South Asia- Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan and Sri Lanka. Under this programme, capacity building is one of the important components, where they are given exposure to SEWA in Ahmedabad to understand the collective production and supply chain of production.
Recently, group of weavers (18 homebased workers) with two staff- (Marketing and Designer) from SABAH Bhutan visited SEWA Trade Facilitation Centre for their 7 days exposure. During their exposure, they visited HomeNet South Asia to understand about issues and intervention taken at Regional level for homebased workers. After providing them orientation on HNSA programme, discussion was open up to understand their issues and need of homebased workers in Bhutan. During the interaction, weaver homebased workers mentioned," in Bhutan, Homebased Workers are recognized as homebased workers and therefore, they want to have national policy on homebased workers for their recognition. As there are many own account and piece rate workers, they have understood the importance of organising, after joining SABAH Bhutan. Today, we are able to earn our livelihood and we can support our family. We would want HNSA to work in Bhutan for homebased workers to advocate for child care centre, health insurance and housing. Housing in Thimpu (capital of Bhutan) is becoming very expensive. As rooms are small, our weaving quality effects, hence, we want to have collective work centre" On asking, what kind of publication would be useful for them, they responded, publication on various weaving techniques of South Asia and designs of weaving, shall be very helpful.
Two Senior officials from Ethiopian Embassy in India had visited SEWA from 31st July to 2nd August, 2014 to understand about SEWA and its services provided to their members. Also, they wanted to understand HomeNet South Asia's structure as Membership Based Organisation Network at Regional level for homebased workers and programme area. While presenting HNSA's programme and policy initiatives taken for homebased workers, they were interested in exploring livelihood initiatives taken by HNSA under its SABAH ( South Asian Business Association of Homebased Workers ) and Outreach Programme. During exchange of programme, they informed, about Homebased workers in Ethiopia; mostly engaged with handicrafts work, who rely on tourist market to sell their products. They echoed the problems of hbws in south Asian countries are similar to Ethiopian for instance, working long hours in one posture doing bead work has taken away their eyesight.
This meeting was good exchange on homebased workers in South Asia and in Africa. We see this as an opportunity to build international solidarity for homebased workers.
Strengthening the Movement of Homebased Workers

A two and half day Regional Conference of City Authorities on Homebased Workers was organised by HomeNet South Asia in collaboration with HomeNet Thailand on 7-8-9th May, 2014 at Hotel Amari Garden Pattaya, Thailand. City Mayors, administrators, networks of homebased workers and organisations working with homebased workers from eight countries of South and South East Asia – namely, Bangladesh, India, Cambodia, Nepal, Philippines, Pakistan, Sri Lanka and Thailand – participated in the event.
The objectives of the conference were the following:
- To highlight how good civic amenities impact on the productivity, livelihoods and quality of life of urban homebased workers.
- To share programmes and experiences regarding the means of addressing issues of homebased workers in South and South East Asia, in partnership with City Authorities.
- To adopt an 'Asian Cities Declaration' and to identify country-specific issues that could be taken up by or in partnerships with City Authorities, to address urban issues of homebased workers.
The Hon'ble Acting Governor of Bangkok, Dr. Pusadee Tamthai, was the chief guest at the inaugural session. In her inaugural address, Dr. Pusadee said, 'Homebased workers should not only get civic amenities because they contribute to the economy significantly, but also because it is their human right'. She added further, 'there is a great need for coordination among the various departments and agencies that provide different services in Bangkok as the Bangkok Metropolitan Authority alone is not responsible for all the services'. She also felt that 'it is the duty of the officials to visit the field, to get a better understanding of issues' and emphasized the 'need to understand the structure of the city administration, so that the right person or organisation could be approached'. In her closing remarks she mentioned, 'there is a need for all government officials to have a positive attitude so that they can provide better and more effective services to the people, including homebased workers'.
Dr. Malee Pruekpongsawalee, representative of HomeNet Thailand, welcomed the delegates. Ms. Chandni Joshi, Enforcer of HomeNet South Asia, addressed the gathering. Two local homebased workers, Ms. Neeramol Suthipannaphong and Mr. Somkid Duang-ngeun, shared their views and concerns. Dr. Martha Chen, from Harvard University's Kennedy School of Government and International Coordinator of WIEGO, gave the key note address.
Statistical Briefs on homebased workers from four countries – Bangladesh , India , Nepal , Pakistan – were launched by the Hon'ble Acting Governor Dr. Pusadee Tamthai and Dr. Martha Chen. It was noted throughout the conference that for any kind of planning or policy and programme formulation, statistics on homebased workers are essential and these can often be derived from national labour force surveys if the surveys are modified to ask the correct questions.
There were five panel discussions during the conference to discuss the key urban issues affecting homebased workers. The panels were a) Basic Infrastructure Services, Part 1 – Water and Sanitation, b) Basic Infrastructure Services, Part 2 - Public Transport and Electricity, c) Secure and Adequate Housing, d) Livelihood Support through Local Bodies, and e) Health (health insurance, maternity benefits/care) and Occupational Health and Safety.
On the concluding day of the conference an 'Asian Cities Declaration on Homebased Workers' was adopted, based on the recommendations of the conference. This will serve as a road map for Governments and City Authorities to address issues of urban homebased workers in South and South East Asia and include them in their planning and implementation processes.

INDIA: Indian market continues down road to liberalisation
The Indian Ministry of Industry has decided to end the dividend balancing requirements for foreign liquor companies. The requirements are part of the export obligation commitments undertaken by any foreign drinks company operating in India.Industry sources also said that the government was considering to scrap export obligations altogether as part of the on-going liberalisation of the industry.Reports from the Ministry suggest that the government will announce next week its plans to finish with dividend balancing requirements because its forex reserves are at a comfortable level and the earnings from liquor companies are no longer required.Certain sectors of the Government also believes the harsh export obligations are stifling the growth of the drinks industry in India.Under current rules liquor multi-nationals are required to balance the outgo of dividends within seven years of operation to the parent company with imports of raw material and technology.The end to this rule will benefit the likes of Seagram, Pernod Ricard, Bacardi and UDV all of whom operate in India. However, Albert Elgrissy of Pernod Ricard's Indian operations said the move was a minor development."What would be clinching for the trade is the removal of export obligations altogether," he said.

This game is very good the pixel art is great the game is a little bit hard and the game also has very good soundtrack and atmosphere. the only think l don't like about this game is the plot because it's not explained why i'm running from machines and why are they destroying the city l don't know maybe the robots have taken over maybe aliens have invaded earth maybe the humans have started a war in the future l don't know. Well l don't expect much backstory for a short game but l would be pretty good if the game had a plot. Take my 4.5 stars great game. sorry for my bad english i'm from norway.

Orlando Bloom enjoyed one of the biggest perks of the Cannes Film Festival as he soaked up the sun on a yacht over the weekend. He happily chatted away on his cell phone, giving us a good look at his sexy shirtless bod. Last night he was just a bit more formal hitting the scene with Miranda, but these two love their bikini time just as much as the party circuit.

"Kasey's come out on the losing end three times," Johnson said of his teammate. "It's not like Kyle has an issue; it's just stuff. I had it with Kurt (Busch) and also Sterling Marlin in 2003-04. It's no fun when it happens and you have a magnet for (another) car."
Once a driver starts to have repeated incidents with the same driver, it can be difficult to stop, Johnson said.
"The way I've been able to break the cycle is you just have to consciously get away," he said. "If it goes to the third time, it's OK, if I see you coming I'm getting the hell out of the way. You have to try to make it stop that way."
Busch is frustrated beyond the incidents with Kahne. He led 265 of 367 laps at Darlington but a tire problem caused him to fade at the end and finish sixth. It was the 11th time Busch has led at least 200 laps in a Sprint Cup race, yet he's only won four of those.
"If you lead 260 whatever laps and don't win, it's a lost race, it's gone, it means nothing. It is what it is," Busch said. "On the flipside, if you can only lead one lap and lead the last one and win any race, I'd have that happen every single week. It's all about taking home the trophy and the checkered flag, it's not necessarily about how many laps you lead.
"When you lead all those laps it shows that you're good, you're team's good, you're car's good and everything else, but it just goes to show you how much bad luck (Busch) has."

In 2nd-Century Britain, celebrated Roman soldier Marcus Aquila (Channing Tatum) embarks on a dangerous quest to restore the tarnished reputation of his father and find the golden emblem that disappeared with him and thousands of troops twenty years earlier. But the highlands of Caledonia are a savage wilderness, and Marcus must rely on his embittered slave, Esca (Jamie Bell), to navigate the perilous region. Their journey pushes them beyond the boundaries of loyalty and betrayal, friendship and hatred, deceit and heroism. Donald Sutherland co-stars in this gripping, gritty, action-packed adventure from acclaimed director Kevin Macdonald.
Epic filmmaking has fallen out of favor, but The Eagle fights hard to bring it back. Marcus Aquila (Channing Tatum) chose to lead a Roman garrison in occupied Britain because that's where his father lost a military standard--a metal eagle, representing the glory of imperial Rome--on an expedition into the northern wilds. To reclaim his family honor, Aquila sets off into native territory to recover the eagle, with only a slave named Esca (Jamie Bell) to help him--but the more Aquila learns about Esca's history, the more he has reason to doubt his slave's loyalty. The Eagle starts with engaging momentum; this is a work of fiction, but there's an impressive commitment to the details of life, evoking the sights, sounds, and smells of a raw and brutal time. (Director Kevin Macdonald began as a documentarian, which no doubt contributes to his appreciation for grit and sweat.) Tatum is not the most versatile actor but he has enough solid charisma to anchor the movie; Bell's fluid emotional presence keeps their relationship dynamic. The movie loses steam in the last third, as the outcome is never really in doubt and the plot mechanics start to feel a bit rote. But for anyone with an interest in the era, or who simply enjoys a taste of blood and thunder, The Eagle has pleasures aplenty. --Bret Fetzer

Urban Disaster Mitigation: The Role of Engineering and Technology
Edited by
- F.Y. Cheng, University of Missouri-Rolla, USA
- M.-S. Sheu, National Cheng-Kung University, Taiwan
Great loss of human life, structural damage, and social and economic upheaval occur repeatedly due to such natural hazards as earthquakes, typhoons, hurricanes, landslides, floods and tsunamis. Both the US and Taiwan, along with many other countries, have a history of such occurrences and a common need to reduce their effects.
This volume includes papers from the fourth symposium workshop, held jointly between the US and Taiwan to discuss research and its application to multiple hazard mitigation. The workshop,
Urban Disaster Mitigation, The Role of Engineering and Technology, discussed lessons learned from recent natural disasters; assessed results of Taiwan's multiple hazards research program and potential application to the US; and proposed further studies on subjects of mutual concern.
Topics include recent scientific findings obtained in various natural hazard areas and assessment of actual and potential damage from earthquakes, floods and landslides. Of particular importance are measures that can be taken to mitigate these hazards ranging from use of new algorithms for structural engineering to warning systems for a given region. At a time when natural disasters are widespread, engineers play a key role. Construction methods and building codes are changing; current knowledge shapes the direction of these changes.The research results presented in these proceedings will benefit both the academic and practicing communities around the world, strengthening the relationship between these two important parties.
For professors, graduate students and practising engineers in the fields of structural, hydraulic and earthquake engineering; seismology and soil and rock foundation engineering. Also governmental policy makers, building - code developers, architects and city planners.

Bunnies for Cuteness
Animal Motif. Stuffed bunnies might also be used to invoke the concept of children caught in a horrific situation if used in an Empathy Doll Shot. When the association between rabbits and cuteness is being subverted, see Hair-Raising Hare. Compare to Playboy Bunny. See also Cute Kitten, Precious Puppy, Panda-ing to the Audience, and Ridiculously Cute Critter. Not to be confused with Bridge Bunnies.

Anime and Manga
- Mahou Sensei Negima!
- Negi Springfield wears a bunny costume during a part of the festival arc. While he is wearing the outfit, his normally serious behavior is replaced with childish enthusiasm, and other characters comment on how cute the outfit makes him.
- Nodoka sometimes wears a bunny backpack as a cute accessory to her adventuring outfit.
- Ouran High School Host Club uses a bunny motif for the "Boy Lolita" character Honey to help establish his identiy as the cute character of the Host Club. He frequently carries a stuffed rabbit called "Usa-chan", uses a "bunny kick" as one of his martial arts moves, and is himself sometimes compared to a rabbit. He also has bunny patterns on many of his belongings, and a bunny background pattern is sometimes used in the manga in panels that feature him.
- Pita-Ten has an angel named Misha who wears bunny shaped Hair Decorations which signify her childish and cute characterization.
- Vivio in the Lyrical Nanoha series has a bunny motif associated with her, fitting her bright and positive personality. In Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha ViVid, even her Device is shaped like a bunny.
- Bleach:
- Standoffish and cool Rukia has a soul candy dispenser with a cute bunny face on it.
- Lampshaded when Ichigo learns that Rukia was trying to get that one for him when she got Kon (who came in a duck-faced dispenser). He calls her on the cutesyness and, in a sort of nervous anger, she responds that she likes bunnies.
- In Nurarihyon No Mago, Kana Ienaga has pink bunny decorations on her bag.
- The "Happy Happy Clover" anime and manga◊ by Tatsuyama Sayuri is fond of this trope.◊ Just about every rabbit◊ is like this.◊ Especially Mallow◊ and Clover.◊
- Fruits Basket has Momiji, who is possessed by the Spirit of the Rabbit. He's the only Member of the Zodiac who really embraces his Zodiac form, as evidenced by the bunny plushies, bunny hoodies, bunny backpacks, bunny stationary, and being the first male Juunishi to hug Tohru on purpose. Somewhat subverted, though, since he's actually one of the most emotionally mature of the Sohmas (even though he looks like the youngest).
- Bokko◊ from Osamu Tezuka's "The Amazing 3" is an older example in Anime/Manga going as far back as 1965.
- This is one contributor of Is the Order a Rabbit?'s cuteness; the town is literally full of cute bunnies. Businesses are often have "rabbit" in their names.
- Sanrio is fond of this trope. As of 2008, there are three anime shows that star talking rabbits. Such as My Melody, Ruby and The Sugarbunnies. In 2010, a new Sanrio character series was created called "Wish Me Mell"◊ which stars a friendly rabbit named "Mell" who is meant to be a character that expresses the feelings every one has, simply stating "Thank you", "I am sorry" or "I like you!", connecting hearts in the process. While the character hasn't gotten an anime series yet, she's pretty popular in Japan to the point that Sanrio even gave her an official a Facebook,Twitter, and Vine account. There's also BonBonRibbon◊ that was created in 2012. Who is another rabbit character created in 2012. Let's just say, Sanrio really loves rabbits.
- Iyo one of the talking stuffed animals from◊ Animal Yokocho.
- Mimirin◊ from Shima Shima Tora No Shimajiro. The only one word that this troper can think of to describe her is Dawwwwwwwwww!
- From Jewelpet, there's Ruby, who's the protagonist, as well as Luea, Luna, Io and the non-canon, light novel only Lollip.
- There are also the Sweetspets Eclan and Macaronia.
- The main heroine from the late 80's anime Maple Town is a young rabbit.
Fan Works
- In the Total Drama Island reimagining, The Legend of Total Drama Island, the gentle and inoffensive D.J. finds and adopts a bunny during the camping challenge, as per canon; but where the original played the trope more or less straight, the reimagining subverts the trope when the bunny's grisly demise triggers a conflict storyline.
- Khilari's Everything's Better With Bunnies is based off this trope: it's an AU where Loki involuntarily shapeshifts into a bunny whenever he's upset.
- In Rise of the Guardians there is Bunnymund, which is reverted to the size of an adorable little rabbit, once children all over the world stopped believing in the Easter Bunny.
Jamie: What happened to him? He used to be huge and cool, and now he's cute
Live-Action TV
- In The Jim Henson Hour, Bean Bunny's role as the Ridiculously Cute Critter is repeatedly lampshaded.
- Beatrix Potter used this trope many times in her childrens books, like The Tale of Peter Rabbit and The Tale of the Flopsy Bunnies. The bunnies were always presented as cute and adorable.
- The little-known Emily the Rabbit books by Claire Masurel and Susan Calitri has the adorable-beyond-words titular character. No relations to D.W.'s classmate who shares the same name and species.
- Pat the Bunny by Dorothy Kunhardt- which most people would have at least read once in their childhood.
- Guess How Much I Love You by Sam McBratney and Anita Jeram- another childhood classic.
- Abigail from Hallmark's line of Interactive Story Buddies toy and book series.
- Rosemary Wells is fond with bunny characters in her books. Max and Ruby, "Bunny Planet", and "Read To Your Bunny" are greats examples
- Doctor Steel flirted with adorkableness once; after visiting a music website who's anime-inspired animation seemed to consist of "Tiny Little Bunnies Eating Hamburgers", he wrote a song about it.
- In the video for Ladytron's Ghosts, many rabbits add cuteness to imagery that would otherwise be quite dark.
- Snuggle Bunny (Schnuffel in the original German) is one of Jamba!'s more well-known mascots. He's a cute little gray and white rabbit who sings adorable, Chipmunks-eqsue songs, many of which are complete ear worms.
- In Slick Chick, the various Playboy Bunnies are accompanied by a distinctively cartoonish rabbit.
- The mascot for Mattel's "Miracle Baby" is a cute female bunny.
Video Games
- Used for humorous effect in Doom in the episode "Thy Flesh Consumed": The tough-as-nails Space Marine has to go after the hellish demons that took his pet bunny. Unfortunately he comes too late and all he finds is the bunny's head on a spike.
- In the Touhou series, we have the Spin-Off Yonkoma manga Inaba of the Moon and Inaba of the Earth, which is filled with borderline Tastes Like Diabetes cute bunnies. This page is just one of the many examples.
- The Pokémon Buneary, Azumarill, Pikachu, Wigglytuff, Plusle, Minun, Lopunny to an extent, and Bunnelby. Averted with Diggersby.
- In True Love Junai Monogatari, one of the items in the Hidden Shop is a rabbit pendant. You should buy it if you want to romance Remi Himekawa, who will ask for it if she sees it.
- Power Pete: The Fuzzy Bunnies, which escaped from a cage in the Stuffed Animal Zoo (which is in the Doll Department of the Toy Mart) and scattered throughout the store, prompting the title character to escape from his packaging and set off to round them back up and return them to their proper place.
- Reader Rabbit: Especially the late 90s redesign.
- Sonic the Hedgehog: Cream the Rabbit. Polite, shy and kind, it's no wonder that she has a Broken Base in the Sonic fandom- one faction loves her for her moe qualities, while the other doesn't like how she Tastes Like Diabetes too much.
- Blade Bunny - The title character has bunny ears. Why? It makes her look cute. (And it does.) And her name is Bunny.
- In Penny and Aggie, when Sara gushes over how "cuuuuute" she finds the title characters as a couple, dancing bunny faces appear around her head.
- A rare dramatic example in ''El Goonish Shive. At one point late into a story arc Susan angsts majorly and begins to awaken magical powers, which are about to go haywire. Jerry the Immortal manages to cast serenity magic to calm her down, which manifests itself as cute, fluffy animals surrounding her, two of which are bunnies.
Web Original
- Doki and a few other rabbits from There she is!!
- Hadriex has a baby bunny named Odin-ear as his "co-star" during Let's Plays. The little fellow got his name because he was born with only one ear.
- Comes up in Yu-Gi-Oh! The Abridged Series when Mokuba is upset that his brother Seto won't get him a pet rabbit. Seto would rather get him a tarantula.
- In another episode, Mokuba goes through Japanese puberty, making him think he's a Pokémon. One of those Pokémon is Buneary.
- Oolong the rabbit, aka Pancake Bunny, is perhaps an earlier example of this trope. Tears were shed when he passed away in 2003.
Western Animation
- The Noops of The Dreamstone are basically green anthropomorphic rabbits, and the almost sickly sweet residents of the Land Of Dreams.
- My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic: Fluttershy, to emphasize her shy cuteness, has a pet rabbit (named Angel, no less), although he doesn't always act cute and cuddly. She also mentions "cute bunnies" in one of her songs.
- Subverted (in a non-Hair-Raising Hare way) in the South Park episode "Pip" (parodying Great Expectations). Pip tries to prove to Estella that she is not an unfeeling monster, because an unfeeling monster wouldn't hurt a cute little bunny rabbit (which Pip pulls from Hammerspace).
ESTELLA: I told you, Pip. I have no heart.PIP: But you do! And I shall prove it to you once and for all! Look at this adorable little bunny.ESTELLA: Oh my. 'E's very cute.PIP: You see that? A heartless person wouldn't care at all about this bunny. They'd just as soon break its neck. Estella breaks its neck ...Oh. But look at this bunny. There. You see that? You have too big a heart to kill two baby bunnies.Estella kills bunny #2...Right...
- Estella ends up stopping at 25 baby bunnies. Not because she felt bad, mind you, but because she got bored... and Pip takes that as evidence that she's got a heart.
- Winx Club Blooms pet rabbit Kiko.
- The ChalkZone episode "Chocolate Brunch" has Snap finding some Easter eggs he was going to eat with Blocky, and chocolate bunnies end up hatching from the eggs. While Snap still wants to eat them, Blocky refuses as the bunnies are too cute. Eventually, Snap gives in due to their cuteness.

Home ⋅ Photo Birth Announcements & Baby Announcements ⋅ Birth Announcements for Twins ⋅ 1 Photo ⋅ Folded
"I made this a sibling announcement with a shot of them both on the front. Was a great way to have my older child introduce the new baby, in a fun and attention grabbing way. Awesome quality cards, everyone was really impressed. Thanks Tiny Prints!"
"These are even better looking in person. I had a hard time finding a neutral card for my boy/girl twins that I really liked, and this was exactly what I was looking for. Great quality and layout. Everyone on your list will love getting this cute card! It's too adorable!"
"Loved this card and got lots of compliments on the card itself, let alone my new babies. I used the front of the card for a picture of my almost four year old son holding his new sisters and the inside to announce each girl individually. It was perfect. I also had a design representative call me to talk about the quality of one of the photos I originally sent. She said it seemed a little blurry. We switched the photo and it turned out great. I was AMAZED to get that kind of service. It's like I bought the card in person with someone who really cared about how good it looked! How awesome!"

If you are not moving up, then why move? When moving up is not an option, a strategic sideways move can put you in a more advantageous position. Whether you move to another employer or to another department within the same company, there are several reasons why a lateral move could be a good one.
- Future Advancement
If your prospects for a promotion don't look so good with your current employer, then a lateral move could set you up for a future climb. Intense competition or a flatter organizational structure may make it difficult to get a promotion in your current position.
The lateral move can provide you with more industry contacts and additional skills, both of which can come in handy if or when a job opening appears at a higher level. (Ditch your ego, prove that you'll work hard and don't settle for the wrong company. Check out Trying On Potential Employers.)
- Money: Make The Same, Take Home More
Your new position may be at the same pay grade, but the new job could increase your bottom line in other ways. For instance, when a job change moves your office closer to home, you may realize cost savings in the form of a shorter commute or cheaper parking. Relocating for a lateral move could land you in an area with an overall lower cost of living, and the new employer may even provide for relocation expenses.
- Better Benefits
Instead of focusing on the take-home pay, examine your total compensation package. Examine the benefits offered by the new employer such as insurance (medical, dental and vision), retirement plans and flexible spending accounts (FSA) to determine if the non-monetary compensation will place you in a position with better benefits.
Other perks to consider may include on-site childcare, dining, tuition assistance or the opportunity to telecommute. (Focusing on salary may be a mistake. Find out which benefits have the highest long-run payoff in Job Hunting: Higher Pay Vs. Better Benefits.)
- More In Line With Your Goals
With a lateral move, you may perform some of the same functions, but for a company whose mission is more in line with your desired career path. For example, working in the accounting department of a huge financial firm will undoubtedly differ from working in the accounting department of a university or a government agency.
If the mission of your employer is more in line with your values, then a lateral move may provide a morale boost even if it does not offer a financial one.
- New Skills Or Varied Experience
The new job may offer a similar title and a similar salary, but it could provide you with a new set of skills or learning opportunities. As employers move to leaner settings, the more skills you have the better. The varied experience will make you more marketable should the opportunity for a promotion arise, or for the next time you may need to explore a career move. The added skills can also protect you from being at the top of the list when it is time for a cut.
- Get Out Before You Get Let Go
Whether it's called downsizing, right-sizing or getting laid off, it's hard to find the bright side of having your position eliminated. A lateral move may be a great option to explore when your current position or your company may be in jeopardy. A preemptive move can keep you from having to deal with the hardship of losing your income or being unemployed.
In terms of future employment, getting out first can prevent you from having to explain being let go or having a large window of unemployed time on your resume. When faced with these potential consequences, the same job in a new environment may be better than no job at all. (In a recession, financial industry personnel are often hit hard. Find out how to avoid getting the ax in Top 6 Ways To Recession-Proof Your Job.)
The Bottom Line
A lateral move may not be considered the most ideal one, but it could prove to be worthwhile. Only you know your personal and professional circumstances, so evaluate them carefully before you make any move - lateral or otherwise.
