Some of these towns nowadays have very tricky names.
Some of these towns nowadays have very tricky names.
Abraham Lincoln has a letter for Marco Rubio.
Actually, that's not quite fair—I happen to enjoy watching 1776 and its John-Adams-as-Mr.-Feeney approach to history. But perhaps that's because there's no one who's going to leave any movie centered on Adams arguing for his beatification. He was too short, I suppose, and too bald. Lincoln, on the other hand, is hagiography pure and simple. …
Liberals endure much teasing for their inability to articulate just what liberalism means. Even their best and brightest flounder at the task. "[T]here is something deep within liberalism," Michael Tomasky attempts, "that prevents it from degenerating into fascism, and that is its explicit recognition that the state must serve both common purposes and individual liberty." …
On the budget - the original is claimed at $10M , which was outrageous at the time. It was trimmed to about half that. It was a *high* budget picture for the late 1960s. That was the existential crisis of it.
Contrast it with a roughly concurrent offering, "A Clockwork Orange" which was made for $2.2M. According to Scorcese's "Personal Journey", this period marked a real low point for the industry, until "Jaws" ... rebooted release strategies and budgets. Even then, Heaven's Gate in 1980 sunk $44m and returned $1.5 and took entire studios out.
The original was just about state of the art - especially the prosthetics - for the time. And I'm not kidding about seeing it at a drive-in. It's the right venue for that movie :)
Sci fi filmmaking didn't really hit its stride until 1979s "Alien". The new franchise is clearly visually superior to the original, and people with skills like like Andy Serkis possesses just didn't *exist* then because of no CGI. So on any measurable front, the reboot is *probably* superior.[View in thread] -

Then followed Dead Heat, Silks, Even Money, Crossfire, Gamble, Bloodline, Refusal, Damage and Felix's tenth novel, Front Runner.Excerpt. © Reprinted by permission. All rights reserved.:
Victoria, Australia
I sank deeper into depression as the Royal Ascot crowd I enthusiastically cheered home another short-priced winning favorite. To be fair, it wasn't clinical depression—I knew all about that—but it was pretty demoralizing, just the same.
I asked myself yet again what I was doing here. I had never really enjoyed coming to Ascot, especially for these five days in June. It was usually much too hot to be wearing morning dress, or else it rained, and I would get soaked. I preferred the informality of my usual haunts, the smaller steeplechase tracks of the Midlands. But my grandfather, who had started the family business, had always used the fact that we stood at the Royal Meeting as one of our major marketing tools. He claimed that it gave us some form of respectability, something he had always craved.
We were bookmakers. Pariahs of the racing world. Disliked by all, and positively hated by many, including large numbers of those whose very livelihoods depended on gambling. I had discovered over the years that my clients were never my friends. Whereas City investors might develop a close relationship with their stockbrokers, punters never wanted to be seen socializing with their bookies. Most of my regulars didn't even know my name, nor did they want to. I suppose that was fair. I didn't know most of their names either. We were simply participants in transactions where each of us was trying to bankrupt the other. I suppose it was a situation not really likely to engender mutual respect.
"Score on seven," said a tall, top-hatted young man thrusting a banknote towards me. I glanced up at our board to check the odds we were offering on horse number seven.
"Twenty pounds on number seven at eleven-to-two," I said, taking his note and adding it to the wad of others in my left hand.
A small printer in front of me whirred and disgorged a ticket that I handed to the man. He snatched it from me and moved quickly away into the throng as if he didn't want to be seen fraternizing with the enemy. His place in front of me was taken by a short, portly gentleman whose multicolored vest was fighting a losing battle against his expansive stomach. He was one of my regular Royal Ascot customers. I knew him only as A.J., but I had no idea what the A.J. stood for.
"Hundred on Silverstone to win," he wheezed at me, holding out some folded twenty-pound notes in his chubby fingers.
"Hundred on two at even money," I said, taking his cash and checking the amount. Another betting slip appeared out of the small printer as if by magic, and I passed it over. "Good luck, A.J.," I said to him, not really meaning it.
"Huh?" he said, somewhat surprised by my comment.
"Good luck," I repeated.
"Thanks," he wheezed, and departed.
In the good old days, when bookmaking was an art rather than a science, every transaction was written down in "the book" by an assistant. Nowadays, as in most things, it was on a computer that everything was recorded. The same computer that printed the betting slips.
It kept a running tally of all the bets that we had taken, and also constantly updated our profit or liability for every possible outcome of the race. Gone were the days when it was down to the gut reaction of the bookmaker to decide when and by how much to change the prices we displayed on our fancy electronic board. Now the computer decided. Bookmaking was no longer by instinct, it was by fractions.
When I had started working for my grandfather I had been his "runner." It had been my job to take cash from his hand and use it to back a horse with other bookmakers, a horse on which he had taken some large bets, in order to spread his risk. If the horse was beaten, he didn't make so much, but, conversely, if it won, he didn't lose so much either. Now even that was done by computer, betting and laying horses on the Internet exchanges, even during the actual running of the race. Somehow, the romance and the fun had disappeared.
Just as mobile phones have caused the demise of the tic-tac men, computer gambling was now killing off any bookmakers with personality who were prepared to back their hunches. And I wasn't at all sure if it was good for the punters, or for racing.
"Twenty pounds, horse two," said another man taking the plunge.
"Twenty on two at evens," I repeated, not so much for the man in front of me, more for Luca Mandini, my assistant, to enter the bet on his computer.
Luca was my magician, my Internet whiz kid with a razor-sharp mathematical brain who stood right behind me. His fingers tapped his keyboard, and the betting slip duly appeared from the printer.
Without Luca, I was sure I would have given up by now, forced out by the relentless bullyboy tactics of the big bookmaking firms who did all they could to squeeze the profit out of the small independents. It was the same in the grocery trade, where the big supermarkets used their muscle to force the small shops to close. They didn't necessarily do it on purpose; they just did it in their never-ending drive for bottom-line figures to satisfy the expectations of some faceless group of shareholders. I was the sole shareholder in my business, and I felt the pain.
I lived in daily fear that Luca would be enticed away from me by some other outfit, maybe one of those big firms who, it seemed, would stop at nothing to put the likes of me out of business in their greedy quest to capture a larger share of the betting market.
I took the slip from the printer and handed it to the man standing patiently in front of me.
"Are you Teddy Talbot?" he asked.
"Who wants to know?" I asked him back while looking beyond for my next customer.
"I know your grandfather," said the man, ignoring my question.
My grandfather's name had indeed been Teddy Talbot, and it was his name that was still prominently displayed above our prices board next to me. The slogan actually read TRUST TEDDY TALBOT, as if the extra word might somehow encourage punters to bet with us rather than the next man.
"My grandfather's dead," I said, still looking beyond him and hoping that he would move away. He was disrupting my business.
"Oh," he said. "When did he die?"
I looked down at him from my lofty position on a foot-high metal platform. He was gray haired, in his late fifties or early sixties, and wearing a cream linen suit over a light blue shirt that was open at the neck. I envied the coolness of his attire. "Look," I said, "I'm busy. If you want to talk, come back later—after the last. Now, please move aside."
"Oh," he said again. "Sorry."
He moved away, but only a short distance, from where he stood and watched me. I found it quite disconcerting.
"Weighed in," announced someone over the public-address system.
A lady in a straw hat came up and held out a slip to me. I took it from her. TRUST TEDDY TALBOT was printed across the top, as it was on all our betting slips. It was a winning ticket from the previous race, the first of rather too many. Nowadays, the potential win amount had to be printed on the slip, so I scanned the details and paid her out for her win, tearing the slip in half and placing the bits into a hopper to my left. The transaction was wordless—no communication was necessary.
A line of winning-ticket holders was forming in front of me.
Betsy, Luca's girlfriend, came and stood on my left. She paid out the winners while I took some of their winnings back as new bets on the next race. Luca scanned his screen and adjusted the prices on our board according to the bets I took and also the bets and lays he made on the Internet gambling exchanges via his computer behind me. It was like a balancing act, comparing potential gains against potential losses, always trying to keep both possibilities within acceptable ranges.
It was my surname on our board, and I was the handler of the punters' cash, but, in truth, it was Luca with his computer who was the real bookmaker, betting online and setting our board prices to always try to keep our predicted return greater than one hundred percent, as indicated on his screen. Anything over a hundred percent was called the "overround" and represented profit, less than a hundred indicated loss. Our aim was to keep the overround at about nine percent, but all the mathematics relied on us taking bets in the correct proportions for our odds, something we tried to ensure by continually adjusting our prices. However, the punters didn't always cooperate with our plans, so Luca tried his best to compensate by betting and laying on the Internet.
The computer was both our best friend and our worst enemy. We liked to think that it was our slave, doing the jobs we gave it more efficiently than we could have done them ourselves. But, in reality, the computer was the master, and we were its slaves. The analysis and figures on its screen controlled our decisions without question. Technology, rather than insight, was now the idol we worshipped.
And so our day progressed. I became hotter and hotter, both over and under the collar, as the sun broke through the veil of cloud, while heavily backed, short-priced winners continued to make it a great day for the punters while pushing down our percentage return into the red.
I didn't need to wear my stifling morning suit, as our pitch wasn't actually in the Royal Enclosure. But we were close to the enclosure rail, in a prime position, and many of my clients wore the coveted name badges of those admitted to the inner sanctum. Besides, my grandfather had always worn formal dress at this meeting, and, since my eighteenth birthday, he had insisted that I did so too. At least he hadn't decreed that we should have top hats as well.
I had never in fact applied to be admitted to the Royal Enclosure because there were no bookmaker pitches on that side of the fence. I did sometimes wonder if being a bookmaker would somehow disqualify one from admittance, like being a divorcée had once done.
Another favorite won the fifth race to huge cheers from the packed grandstand. I sighed audibly.
"It's not so bad," said Luca in my ear. "I had most of that covered."
"Good," I said over my shoulder.
The string of short-priced winners had forced us to try to limit our losses by adjusting down the offered prices on our board. Unlike in a shop, punters went in search of the highest prices as that represented a better return for their bets, provided, of course, they won. So lower prices meant that we didn't do as much business. Even our regular clients tended to go elsewhere, chasing the fractionally better odds offered by others—there was absolutely no loyalty amongst punters.
The man in the linen suit still stood about five yards away and watched.
"Hold the fort," I said to Betsy. "I need a pee."
"Will do," she said.
I walked across to the man.
"What exactly do you want?" I demanded.
"Nothing," he said defensively. "I was just watching."
"Why?" I demanded again.
"No reason," he said.
"Then why don't you go and watch someone else instead?" I said forcefully.
"I'm not doing any harm," he almost wailed.
"Maybe not, but I don't like it," I said. "So go away. Now."
I walked past him and into the grandstand in search of the Gents'.
When I returned, he'd gone.
"Thanks," I said to Betsy as I again stood up on the platform.
"Come on," I shouted at the small crowd in front of me. "Who wants a wager?" I glanced up at the board. "Eleven-to-four the field."
There were a few takers but business was slow. As every race seemed to be a losing one from our point of view, it was probably just as well. At this rate, the more business we did, the more we lost.
However, there was some respite when the last race of the day was won by a twenty-to-one outsider, the favorite having been boxed in against the rails until it was too late.
"That saved our bacon," said Luca with a broad grin.
"Saved your job, you mean," I said, smiling back at him.
"In your dreams," he replied.
In my nightmares, more like.
"So what's the total?" I asked him.
In the good old days, it was easy to tell how we had done simply by the size of the wad of banknotes in my pocket, but these days we also had to consider our credit card balance with the Internet exchanges.
"Down fifteen hundred and sixty-two," he said with certainty, consulting his machine.
"Could be worse," I said, but I couldn't actually remember a previous first-day Tuesday at Royal Ascot when we had lost money.
"Sure could," he said. "If the favorite had won the last, we would have been off another grand more at least."
I raised my eyebrows at him, and he grinned. "I didn't manage to take as much of the favorite as I wanted on the exchanges. Damn Internet link went down."
"Just us or everyone?" I asked seriously.
"Dunno," he said, intrigued. "I'll find out."
Luca and I started to pack up our equipment as Betsy paid out the occasional winning ticket. Most of the racegoers were streaming for the exits to try to beat the traffic jams, and, no doubt, there would be more winning tickets from the last race handed in the following day.
We kept a record on our computer of all the bets taken, both winning and losing, and it never ceased to amaze me how many of the winning tickets were never cashed. Presumably some were lost, and perhaps some inebriated punters didn't realize they were winners, but almost every day there were two or three winning bets that were never claimed. "Sleepers," they were called, and they were like a cash bonus for us. But it was one we could never completely rely on. Our tickets didn't have an expiry date on them, and, only the day before, I'd had to cash a sleeper from the Royal Ascot Meeting of the previous year. Maybe it had been hiding for twelve months in the deep recesses of someone's morning-coat pocket, or tucked into the hatband of a topper, waiting quietly to be discovered and paid out.
The crowd had mostly dispersed to the parking lots by the time Luca, Betsy and I had packed up the majority of our gear and loaded it onto our little wheeled trolley that ingeniously doubled up as a base for our computer during the racing. The betting ring was deserted save for the other bookmakers, who, like us, were packing up amongst the detritus of a day's gambling: discarded newspapers, torn-up betting slips, crumpled coffee cups and half-eaten sandwiches.
"Do you fancy a beer?" Luca asked as I pulled one of the elastic straps over our equipment.
"I'd love one," I said, looking up at him. "But I can't. I have to go and see Sophie."
He nodded at me knowingly. "Some other time, then. Betsy and I are going to go and have one, if that's all right with you. We're taking the train into town later to go to the party in the park."
"Right," I said. "You go on. I'll pack up the rest of the stuff."
"Can you manage?" he asked.
He knew I could. I did it all the time. But this little exchange was his way of not taking it completely for granted.
I smiled at him. "No problem," I said, waving a dismissing hand at them. "Go on. I'll see you both in the morning. Usual time."
"OK," said Luca. "Thanks."
Luca and Betsy went off together, leaving me standing alone next to the tarpaulin-covered equipment trolley. I watched them go, Betsy hand in hand with her young man. At one point they stopped and embraced before disappearing out of my sight into the grandstand. Just ano...

5Another great set! Posted by: MovieFan26m from: Texas on I wish Comedy Central would stop airing new specials. Especially the ones that get aired, but don't end up on DVD for a long time. Why? Have you seen a full uncut version of this on DVD? Or on TV? Nope. Sure, we have the show on CD, but it's just not the same, is it. Anyways, the show is great. I saw him live once, got to meet him after the show.

Standing with Cats
I have been using my stander 2 to 3 times a week. Every time is different with how many degrees I'm able to get up to. My goal every time is 90°. In the past couple months though, I haven't been able to get up past 60 or 70°. And it usually takes me about half an hour to get there. My body just isn't as tolerant as it used to be with standing. If I go too high, my blood pressure drops and I start to see black spots. Then I have to go back down immediately.
My normal blood pressure is usually around 90/60. When I'm standing, it can get down to about 60/40. Sometimes it gets low enough to where it won't read and says "Error" even though I'm still feeling fine. My doctor says as long as I don't pass out, I'm good because it's normal for people with spinal cord injuries to have low blood pressure. It gets really frustrating not to be able to get up all the way. I know that it's good to try, and even getting to where I am now is considered weight-bearing, but it would still be nice to stand at 90°.
Note from editor: Always check with your physician for recommendations for a standing program protocol and medical precautions.
One thing that helps distract me are my cats. Both of them fight for the position to lay on the table while I'm standing. They love the attention from my staff and the chance to be with me of course. The gray one, Toby, is very curious and always tries to be cute. He can be very naughty and mischievous at times too. Ty is the black one. He wants everything his way only when he wants it. He can be loving and also serious. I believe the pictures say it all. They could be an advertisement for Easystand stander.
Jenni is a person with C1 C2 quadriplegia who is dependent on a vent to breath. To learn more about Jenni's history, read her other post on the EasyStand Blog "The Air is Better Up Here" or go to her blog "The Site that Breathes".

Now that spring is here, so many plans swirling about in my head for "garden getaways" in our yard. Too many ideas. Truly, it can be kind of overwhelming to be me somedays, haha (anyone else overwhelm themselves with all the ideas and possibilities? Yes? No?). But like all innovation and grand plans, it can take time to dream up and implement the ideas that make the most sense.

I was totally interested by this modern black rug designed by Liset Van der Scheer, because combined with a few pieces of black furniture, and a few white chairs you can get an amazing design. The base is made of wool and polyester knots to warranty a quality surface. The polyester fibre threads are notably very strong. The carpet model permits the hair thread to sway in different directions, giving it a varied appearance in combination with brightness. Finnaly you can get this stylish , radiant and strong, hand tufted in a wool and pylyester base rug from Casalis.

Personally I think Surat has said some things I really questioned like how Gundam 00 (a mediocre series) had above average ratings because a series made 4 years before by completely different people was bad. I also really question if Gainax has really changed. I mean Gunbuster has tits as very prominent, and they started making Princess Maker in the early 90s.
Mike Toole is my god, I bought King Gainer because he gave it a good review. His return to making reviews for Anime Jump is a moment of celebration.
Please tell me that the RK OVA was Trust and Betrayal and not the POS Reflections.

Did anyone else see that Mike Tool and Daryl Surat were going to be on this and immediately think "best episode ever" in the Comic Book Guy voice?
Princess Maker didn't detract from the good anime they made though, and while I haven't listened to the Gainax episode in awhile I recall that their main problem was that Gainax's new shows aren't very interesting to fans like them, not that they have fan-service.

I was never impressed by Evangelion, it was incredibly hypocritical, Gunbuster's first episode was a cheesy 80's sports movie with tits. I just never really understood where this idea that Gainax was this group of people who where pioneers of good taste. They where pioneers in fanservice but never in good taste. If you want to blame anyone for the current culture of anime, you might want to place some of the blame on Gainax who made a fortune on crappy Asuka and Rei figures.
Gurren Lagann is probably one of the greatest super robot anime of all times, and only Imagawa has been able to make anime as awesome.

Well... their first work was what I consider the greatest homage to 20th century nerddom (Daicon IV), but that's not to say that everything they have made has been amazing. Still, they have an impressive body of work and have certainly made their mark on the industry.

Zac, I should point out that piracy is a huge problem in the video game industry. For all the sales of the Nintendo DS, no one really makes games for it (other than remakes) because it's so heavily pirated.
I think Golden Sun is the last major game to be released.
Also I have seen the streaming numbers using youtube outside of really the big hits like Naruto, Bleach, and FMA: Brotherhood none of them are really that impressive.
Oh good god the "Haruhi was succesful because of the fans so theirfore I should be able to download Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood for free". Nevermind the fact that Haruhi is basically the only series where that happened from, as Bandai Ent can attest.
I should point out that I began to buy products because I had an epiphany after I began to notice that the reason why games that are more niche are not being released is because they where more likely to pirate. I then went out and began buying either used copies or new copies if they where available of products such as the Super Robot Taisen games (the games that caused that epiphany)
I just bought the entire Heroic Age blu-ray for 26 dollars (tax and shipping included)
Oh hey, Mike Toole, and me agree on Brotherhood, just like every single anime his reviewed that I have seen. His the only reviewer that I have ever used to buy a series I knew nothing about (Overman King Gainer)

I don't want to seem like I'm jumping all over you in this thread, but have you actually looked at the lineup of DS releases lately? There are tons of original games coming out for the thing from Nintendo alone.
Although you are of course correct that the DS is heavily pirated. It just hasn't had quite the effect you seem to be implying.
Seriously? That's depressing
I hope someone figures out how to make streaming profitable soon.

at the tail end you guys make a good point that streaming can go down at any time.
I have no clue what type of fan I am anymore. I think I'm at the point of transition form only paying attention to the American end of things to wanting to know the history and the behind the scenes overseas.
I have never really thought about how fractured our tastes in anime have become.

I don't think Evangelion has lost fans so much as I think a lot of its credibilty in America was based on the idea that it was some insanely deep show where every single frame had some meaning to it. Where you basically argued everything about the show: who killed that guy, is the leader of Seele the Wandering Jew, was Pen-Pen a former assassin? That type of thing.
Then the assistant Director came out and said that all the religious references where completely meaningless as they just thought it looked cool.
After that you still had this show about a boy trying to conquer his demons but it lost it's aura that it had about 7-9 years ago. Nobody outside of Eva forums really debates it and all the mysteries have basically been solved.

Good discussion on why some people react so strongly and negatively when the creators responsible for the media they so voraciously consume come out and express concern over their work being pirated. In thinking about this issue and trying to be honest with myself I realized that I'm guilty of having the same bitter entitlement attitude when I was younger.
Justin mentioned that when he was a teenager anime served as a very attractive form of escapism. When I was around the same age I was discovering rock music for the first time which also held a very strong hold over me and was a big part of the identity I was trying to build for myself. Whenever I had the chance I would purchase CDs with my limited income, but chiefly I was riding that early wave of peer-to-peer mp3 sharing and using Napster. Does anyone remember the fiasco with Napster and Metallica? When I was younger that situation had me burning with righteous indignation. At that age I really didn't give much consideration to whether or not anyone had the right to object to their work being pirated, I was just concerned that this source of personal happiness was being threatened. My perspective changed dramatically as I grew older and I develop a greater sense of awareness beyond my private little world. Having gainful employment certainly didn't hurt either.
So I'm going to argue that *age* is the biggest factor in the behavior and attitudes we're seeing. It's no secret that the average age of the Western anime fan has dropped significantly in the last ten years. We have a lot of teenagers getting into this hobby. I'm not sure if yelling at them will change anything. Hopefully with time they will also naturally develop into rational human beings.

If I may venture a guess, Charred Knight probably enjoys how relatively straight-forward Gurren Lagann is, very unpretentious, not trying to wring your mind. It has complexities that it doesn't cover in worthless symbols and vague community moralizing, the way Evangelion often does. Again, this is just my guess. Charred Knight and I obviously have different tastes (I do like GL, though.)
To me, Evangelion is the superior show because of how it doesn't pull punches as far as how far it's willing to go to make the audience feel as uncomfortable as its characters, to experience (and quite intentionally, I contend) the same awkward lack of communication Shinji and the others are experiencing. It can get a little too alienating, however, from what I've been told. It's not everyone's cup of tea.
I would argue, however, that while the religious symbols are meaningless in a Christian sense, it doesn't entirely mean they're entirely meaningless within the context of the show. Because you put some being on a cross, doesn't mean they are Jesus, but could mean something other than that (I am not, however, implying Lilith is any such thing, I'm using it as an example).
Having Zac, Justin, Mike Toole, and Daryl Surat in the same podcast is like having a Knights of the Round to me. These are the guys that I respect the most in the anime fandom. I cannot understate how much awesome has been concentrated in one place this week. I'm fanboyish about this.

I think there's a certain percentage of fans who stream and watch a lot of subs, myself included, for a sort of "try before you buy" approach. Walking into a video store's anime section can be overwhelming. There's sooo much product out there, quite a lot of it bad, that people who don't make the greatest incomes want to make informed decisions on what they spend their hard-earned cash on, and with so little anime airing on television, streaming can be one of the only options(shopping smart certainely helps, too). For me, it's proven quite effective; I stumble on something that really resonates with me through online viewing, and in turn, I go out and buy the box set or what have you so I can own and view it as many times as I want. I've watched the entirety of my Rahxephon boxset about nine times now, Escaflowne and Planetes five.

The Mike Toole Show - The Magnificent 1997
Mike straps in to his time machine for a trip back to the year 1997 to revisit some of his old favorites, from Battle Athletes to a little show called Berserk! ― This week, I'm finding myself stuck between stations. I've got a couple of pieces in the early stages, and one column that's almost done but just needs a little more detail to really make it work. Retrospective pieces are always good in a pi...
Series Premiere: The Reflection
Studio DEEN and Stan Lee team up for this summer's new superhero anime, with a controversial artistic style. Our weekly series reviews begin here!
The Controversial Legacy of Final Fantasy XII
Final Fantasy XII: The Zodiac Age is an ambitious remaster of a game with a notoriously rocky development and release. Dustin turns the pages of Ivalice history for a look back. ― There is perhaps no Final Fantasy game—and certainly no 3D entry in the series—which has been uncontroversial. Maybe that's the cost of a franchise where each iteration is wildly different from its predecessor, making group...
Genshiken: Second Season GN 9
Genshiken seeks to steer its most questionable plot arc into safer waters in its surprisingly thoughtful ninth volume. ― Genshiken Second Season has been a bit of a mess. In contrast with the original series' sensitive and remarkably grounded approach to fandom circles, Second Season has shifted from a promising setup into outright harem comedy territory, its characters moaning about their own cliche...
The List - 6 Fantastic Female Friendships in Anime
Whether they're taking down monsters or just surviving the trials of high school, these gal pals have each other's backs through the best and worst of times. ― Hello readers!

Fate/Apocrypha — Episodes 1-3
While we wait for the newest animated entry in the Fate series to arrive on Netflix, Kim Morrissy has a look at the first three episodes straight from Japan. How does this "Great Grail War" compare to its predecessors? ― Note: While Fate/Apocrypha is not yet available streaming in English, this review comes courtesy of our Tokyo correspondent who watched these first three episodes in Japan. Fate/Apoc...
Interview: Tokyo Ghoul (live-action) Director Kentarō Hagiwara
The director behind this challenging action/horror manga adaptation discusses the process behind bringing the shock and wonder of Tokyo Ghoul to life on the big screen. ― Just before its wide Japanese release, the live action Tokyo Ghoul film premiered at Anime Expo on July 3rd, 2017. Hundreds of people waited hours in line for a chance to see the film, whose screening filled the JW Marriot's Diamond...
Answerman - Why Aren't Anime Sales Figures Made Public?
We'd really love to know exactly how well our favorite anime sold on Bluray and DVD. Why do they keep these numbers from us? Justin gets into it. ― Michael asks: I was wondering if you could explain the mindset behind why anime companies seem to be so secretive with their sales numbers. I could be wrong about this, but I don't see any benefit to not releasing how many units "title x" sold or how man...
Why Affordable Housing for Animators Matters (and What You Can Do to Help)
Callum May takes an inside look at the Animator Supporters Dormitory Project that aims to give affordable housing to overworked animators. Find out how you can help support the lifeblood of the anime industry! ― If you're interested in finding out more about the anime industry, you'll undoubtedly come across numerous reports of struggling animators. For the most part, anime is not a practical way to ...
School-Live! Blu-Ray
This one-of-a-kind combination of slice-of-life and horror starts strange and finishes strong. Theron Martin explores just what makes this series so special. ― The first episode of this series is one of the biggest cases of misdirection in anime history, as both the opening theme and first twenty minutes suggest that this is going to be a high-spirited slice-of-life series about schoolgirls. Sure, th...
This Week in Games - Accel World vs. Sword Art Online
The unimaginably popular worlds of light novel author Reki Kawahara collide in a new RPG. Dustin takes it for a spin. PLUS: Toy Story Kingdom Hearts and much more! ― Last column, I mentioned that Dream Daddy: A Dad Dating Simulator would be out this week, and that's still true despite a very last-minute delay. The developers put out a statement explaining that there were further bug fixes that needed...
Interview: Ali Project
The idol royalty behind a string of hit anisong themes from Code Geass to Kizumonogatari answers a few questions about her incredible career (and her incredible fashion!) ― ALI PROJECT doesn't have a hard time getting recognized – if you're not familiar with their signature aristocratic fashion style, then odds are you've heard at least a few of their unique, chart-topping anime theme songs, seen in ...
Kiki's Delivery Service Giveaway 75 minutes left!
We've extended the entry deadline for Kiki's Deliver Service merch by half a day, which means you have 75 minutes to enter for you chance at some really cool Kiki's Deliversy Service merchandise and theatrical tickers. ― GKIDS and Fathom Events are partnering to bring Academy Award-winning Hayao Miyazaki's Kiki's Delivery Service to select cinemas nationwide for a special two-day event on July 23 & ...
Haruchika: Haruta & Chika BD+DVD
Haruchika is just good enough to set viewers up for disappointment when it fails to deliver on its potential. Rebecca Silverman explains what went wrong. ― There are some shows that tease you with their mediocrity, occasionally showing flashes of, if not brilliance, than at least intrigue before turning around and slumping back into uninteresting and disappointing you all over again. Haruchika is one...

Two riders will miss day one of The Championships after copping suspensions out of the Golden Slipper.
Jeff Lloyd and Tye Angland will miss six meetings after stewards deemed them to have caused interference in the $3.5 million two-year-old Group I contest.
Lloyd, who rode favourite Houtzen, was charged with careless riding and pleaded guilty after working across the face of the field when insufficiently clear of rivals aboard the Toby Edmonds-trained filly while Angland also pleaded guilty after causing interference to Diamond Tathagata whilst riding Gary Portelli's colt Single Bullet.
Both jockeys will be out of action from Thursday March 23 until Sunday April 2 on which day they can ride, meaning the two riders will miss day one of The Championships at Randwick on Saturday April 1
"It was hard work for everyone involved today," chief steward Marc Van Gestel said.
"We had four careless riding suspensions but we had big fields, high pressure races with horses moving about and shifting ground in the conditions.
"Under the circumstances I thought the track raced as well as could have been expected and the riders did well to negotiate the conditions they were dealt."
Two other riders will also miss some of the rich autumn action after Kerrin McEvoy and Josh Parr were given suspensions by stewards.
Parr found himself in trouble for his ride in the Provincial Championships heat, causing interference to Rock On Zariz and will miss three meetings. Parr is out from Friday March 24 but can return on Thursday March 30, missing out on BMW Stakes day at Rosehill.
McEvoy misses five meetings after tightening rivals during his winning Galaxy ride aboard Russian Revolution. McEvoy crossed Corey Brown's mount Felines when insufficiently clear, causing Andrew Adkins to check his mount Glenall which copped the bulk of the interference.
McEvoy will be out of action from Thursday March 23 until Friday March 31 so will be able to ride Russian Revolution if Peter and Paul Snowden's three-year-old colt tackles the Group I TJ Smith Stakes.

Ongoing Research into the use of video in learning environments.
Roy Pea was one of the first researchers I cited in my PhD dissertation. Still have lots in common.
Video Analysis Tools and Techniques
Roy D. Pea Jeremy Roschelle, Randall Trigg
and more collaborators
Goal: Diverse contributions toward improving scientific understanding of learning have in the past few decades begun to pay particular attention to the situational properties of learning events. In part influenced by research methodologies in microsociology, conversational analysis, anthropology, ethology, and ethnomethodology, students of learning processes have made increasing use of video recordings of the physical and social aspects of learning environments. The increasing use of video recording as a form of data collection has the potential to revolutionize research in education and the other social sciences.
Kolb Learning Styles and Effects of Animation and Visuals on Learning
This is the first article that I have found that has examined Kolb's learning style classifications with the learning from multimedia. The researchers found that true to Mayer most students benefit from the inclusion of visuals and animations in lectures and text presentation. However, certain students who did not have the accommodation learning style did not benefit from them.

Connectedness of Picture to Learning

Great Methodology and Explanations in Research Study on Visual Learning Styles and Strategies
Volume 19, Number 1, 2017 © WIETE 2017 Global Journal of Engineering Education 24
"Learners with diverse backgrounds and experiences have different ways of learning that they prefer. For example, when learning new knowledge and skills, some learners prefer to see pictures and diagrams, whilst other learners prefer to listen to instructors' verbal explanations. Most learners have multiple preferences. The different preferences are called learning styles. In past decades, a wide variety of theories or models regarding learning styles have been developed [7-11]. For instance, Kolb developed an experiential learning model based on four categories of learning styles,including diverging (concrete and reflective), assimilating (abstract and reflective), converging (abstract and active), and accommodating (concrete and active) [7]. Extensive research evidence has shown that optimal learning outcomes would be achieved when a learner's learning styles and an instructor's teaching styles match with each other [7-11]. According to Felder …it is important not to determine each student's learning style and then teach to it exclusively, but to teach around the learning cycle [12]. This calls for educators to have a balanced approach from both sides of the same dimension."

Weaving Together Literacies
Out of Stanford research, " designed and built a web application allowing students to read and write interactive fiction and a curriculum weaving the two literacies together. A study evaluating the curriculum found modest adoption of literacy practices from each domain. Our qualitative observations suggest a mechanism for how each literacy can support the other: . ."

Some questions about "learning" outcomes
In the following thesis the author investigated the effects of using tablets on learning. The important take away from this study is that the researcher found no effect on success rate nor on grades. However, the students using tablet learning devices were able to display other types of learning and its effects. Most notably the students who used tablets conducted independent research, shared their ideas with peers and in the opinion of the researcher created new knowledge. Specifically, users reported that the tablets' portability and storage capacity for resources enhanced usage outside the classroom and enabled communications and information sharing with peers. Such learning outcomes are not part of standardized testing and not always included as a grading criteria but are extremely desired in the work place.
EFFECTIVENESS OF TABLET LEARNING DEVICES IN ONLINE AND BLENDED COURSES AT THE UNIVERSITY OF THE SOUTH PACIFIC by Pritika Reddy, University of South Pacific
"Interestingly, the tablet devices did not have any effect on the success rate and quality of the student grades for the respective courses they were enrolled in. The study also showed that the tablet devices were a good sharing and knowledge creating tool as the devices enabled students to conduct independent research, share ideas with peers and create new form of knowledge from the concepts they learnt."

President-elect Donald Trump made much of expecting to end the CIA program arming Syrian rebel groups after his election, noting that the US doesn't really know who a lot of these groups are. The move breaks with years of US policy in Syria, which sought to keep the rebellion going, though also sought to keep them from actually winning the war.
Trump's shift has a lot of detractors in the existing administration, as well as among Republican hawks, but recent precipitous losses by Syrian rebel groups, particularly the Nusra Front-dominated rebels in Aleppo, are likely to make this shift a lot more smooth.
As far back as 2014, President Obama was admitting that arming the "moderate" rebels in Syria to be a real difference maker was always "a fantasy," but he continued to plan through to the end of his term. The "moderate" rebels have long since been supplanted by ISIS and al-Qaeda forces, and while the CIA has kept the arms flowing irrespective of who ends up with them, the program's failure is readily apparent.
Even in Aleppo, where al-Qaeda's Nusra Front was doing a lot of the heavy lifting, the rebels are losing decisively, potentially ending nearly five years of fighting over the city. With the rebellion heading for a probable outright defeat, Trump may have an easier time convincing opponents that the shift in policy is simply a recognition of the inevitable.
