Author Tags: Photography, Women
Barbara Woodley's notorious 'bare shoulders' photograph of Kim Campbell is one of 66 portraits featured in the photographer's coffee table book, Portraits: Canadian Women in Focus (Doubleday, 1992), the second book to receive the VanCity Book Award for best book pertaining to women's issues by a British Columbian.
To compile Portraits: Canadian Women in Focus, Barbara Woodley drove across Canada in a van, sleeping in the vehicle and renting dark rooms along the way. All 66 of her subjects kept their appointments; all responded to her written requests for statements about their beliefs. When the late Jean Sauvé asked her, "Who's you publisher?" Woodley had to confess to the former Governor-General she didn't have one. Woodley was finally able to send Sauvé a copy of the book in February. The next day she read in the paper that Jean Sauvé had died. "I was really worried she had never seen it," Woodley says. Two days after Jean Sauvé's funeral, a letter arrived from Jean Sauvé. She thanked Woodley for taking the photo and was happy to know the photo would remain long after she was gone.
"I wanted to photograph Kim Campbell with her cello," says Woodley. "She explained to me that several pictures of her with her cello had already been taken. Nevertheless, to oblige me, she went downstairs to get ready to do the cello photo. She had wanted to wear her Minister of Justice robe, which at that time—in 1990—she had just received. She had brought the robe with her. It was on a hanger with the cellophane from the dry cleaners. I had explained to her that I couldn't take that photo because I'd already taken a picture of Supreme Court Justice Beverley McLachlin wearing her robe. As I was setting up, I saw the robe on the hanger with the plastic around it. I thought perhaps she could hold the robe in font of her.
"The bare shoulders was entirely my idea. She agreed to it because she has some artistic sense. She knew having a blue blazer and pearls and a scarf behind a black robe wouldn't work. It would take away the simplicity and strength of the robe. We both wanted to create a strong simple portrait emphasizing the robe in front and the woman behind it. Getting the robe into the picture was what was most important to her all along. That's exactly how the photo came about. Kim Campbell never even saw the photo until it was exhibited publicly in Vancouver in 1990. She came to the opening and liked it. The insinuation in the media that the photo was somehow a political move is ludicrous.
"It really all started when Mark Schneider did a story from Ottawa for BCTV. He plucked that one photo out of the exhibition. There was no explanation or credit given. He said on camera, 'What do you think of this picture?' They did a poll on BCTV asking people if they thought the picture of Kim Campbell was appropriate. They compared her to Madonna and her Sex book. That's when it started to get in all the newspapers. I thought to myself, 'These people are visually illiterate if they're comparing the Kim Campbell photo to Madonna.' The Ottawa Citizen did a story and the photo was included in their wire story. Pretty soon the photograph was printed in the British tabloids. I don't know how they got a hold of it. I did receive an offer from a Holland newspaper to pay me once but then they got wind that they could pick it up for free through the Associated Press.
"I discovered from reading Photography and the Law (Self-Counsel) by Christopher DuVernet that once a photograph becomes a story in itself, use of the photo is known as 'fair play'. I consulted a lawyer who said there was nothing I could do. Pretty soon people started making t-shirts of the image, selling them. Still there was no reference to where the photo came from. Later on Allan Fotheringham's entire article in Maclean's implied that this photo was a political maneuvre on Kim Campbell's part. When I read that I thought, 'You're dead wrong, Allan Fotheringham. But people are going to believe you.' Now every time I see Jean Charest holding up a clothes hanger I wonder how many connotations there can be to that one photograph. Finally Canadian Press phoned me to see if they could use the picture when Brian Mulroney stepped down. I told CP they could use the photo if they gave credit. It was used and no credit was given. So I phoned them and asked if it wouldn't be too much trouble if people contact me first before they used the photo. After all, they were hardly using the photograph to talk about inspiration and Canadian women; it was just completely out of context.
"I was flooded with phone calls from the media, people wondering why I was angry. I said, 'Listen, I don't want to make this into a story.' Then the media told me that if I didn't talk to them, people would assume Kim Campbell was having me pull the photo from her. That was really unfair and ridiculous. I wasn't pulling the photo at all. I was simply asking people to phone me first as a courtesy before they used it. I don't know how all this is supposed to work out because I'm so inexperienced at this sort of thing. But if other people are making money from your work… well, it makes you wonder. To this day I haven't received one cent for that photo. I don't mind so much not making money myself. I was never in it for the money. But there's another issue that does bother me. For me, the primary point of my book has always been those Canadian women and how they're inspiring people. The origins of that Kim Campbell photograph, in terms of its context and its meaning, have been almost entirely overlooked. I think it's really too bad that the media takes things out of context. People will become scared that things will be taken out of context and they'll stop trusting people."
Barbara Woodley was living on Bowen Island when she received the Vancity Book Prize in 1993.

(Adrian, MI, 49221)
My Grandparents raised me from the time I was a baby until they died this year 2012 I am 28.. I always felt an abundance of love from them at times I felt like they were the only ones that did in fact love me. My grandma went first due to lung illness and my grandpa died exactly 10 months after her from a broken heart they were together 51 years. It kills me that there gone knowing I can never see them again or even make a phone call I dont know how to cope with this let alone deal with feelings that come up in my day to day life. I am so hurt that they had to leave they were the only people who could help me, talk to me they were my friends, parents, and my world. I can honestly say I have not been the same since they died I am angry and I take it out on the other people I love around me, which is'nt fair to them. I guess I always knew this day would come I could never prepare myself for it, I enjoyed all the time I had with them. I miss them so much and I hope one day I can push through this depression and be happy because thats what they would want from me.

Crime in Israel
Crime in Israel is present in various forms which include drug trafficking, arms trafficking, burglary, car theft, human trafficking, etc.
Organized crime[edit]
Organized crime has increased dramatically in Israel since the 1990s and is described by the BBC and the Israeli Police as a "booming industry". The Israeli organised crime groups have extended their activities in foreign countries like the United States, South Africa, and the Netherlands.[1] According to a report by the Israel Police, drug trafficking, trafficking of women for the purpose of commercial sexual exploitation, illicit gambling, pirate filling stations and real estate are the major forms of crime in the country.[2]
In 2002, the Israel Police documented 464,854 criminal files and non-prosecution cases while the number was 484,688 in 2003. This was an increase of 4.5% over 2002.[3]
Crimes in Israel by Palestinians[edit]
Director of the Latin American Institute of the American Jewish Committee in Washington, D.C. Dina Siegel, criminology professor H. G. van de Bunt, and lecturer in criminology Damián Zaitch showed in their book Global Organized Crime that a significant amount of crime in Israel, especially property crime, is committed by the residents of the Palestinian National Authority (PNA or PA).[4] Motor vehicle theft is a major crime committed by Palestinians. Since the early 1990s, there has been an increase in the rate of robberies in Israel. Between 1994 and 2001, the rate of robberies increased from 14.0 to 30.6 cases per 100,000 population. The reason behind this increase in robberies is analyzed as a result of the establishment of the Palestinian Authority in the West Bank and Gaza Strip which according to the book Global Organized Crime "serves as a safe haven for Palestinian offenders". However, the organized crime industry associated with motor vehicle theft involves not only Palestinians, but also Israeli citizens, both Jewish and Arab. The parts of the stolen cars are removed in "chop shops" in the Palestinian territories and then these vehicles are sold in the black market in Israel. Media reports suggest some of these vehicles are even handed over to high-ranking Palestinian Authority officials.[5] It was reported that since the beginning of 2010 through the end of February 2010, the Palestinian Authority police have destroyed 910 stolen cars.[6]
Although Palestinian criminals are involved in organized crime in the country, Siegel et al. suggested one should not conclude that "organized crime in Israel is dominated by Palestinians. Organized crime committed by Jews or other non-Palestinians has been part of the Israeli crime scene for many years".[2]
Arms trafficking is another form of crime and it is directly associated with terrorism. There are many links between Israeli and Palestinian gangsters that facilitate these ventures.[5]
In addition to car theft, many cases of rape committed in Israel by West Bank Palestinians, many of them illegally residing in Israel, have been documented, and numerous Palestinians have been arrested for rape in Israel.[7][8][9][10][11]
Prisons and prison population[edit]
In response to a freedom-of-information request made by Israeli activist Noam Rotem and Physicians for Human Rights, the Israeli Prison Service stated in 2016 that it held 40,568 inmates: 38,539 Jewish, 2,028 Arab; The majority of prisoners are sephardic (95%)[12] are classified by the crime such as theft, organized crime and drug deals
Drugs in Israel[edit]
Heroin abuse has long been a problem in Israel and Cocaine abuse is increasing. The drugs come mainly from neighbouring countries Lebanon and Jordan
Juvenile victims and perpetrators[edit]
Violence against minors is also a problem in Israel. In 1999, approximately 7,000 cases of crimes against minors were documented which included physical assault (54%), molestation (37%) and repeated physical victimization (9%).[13] However, Israeli minors are not solely the victims of crime, they are also sometimes the perpetrators. Teenage violence in schools is a problem in Israel; the first major study on teenage crime in the nation by T. Horowitz and M. Amir in 1981 indicated three major forms of violence in Israeli schools: theft, breaking and entering, and vandalism.[14] Studies have suggested that Israeli Arab youth are more violent than Jews in the country, a fact which academics attribute to cultural, social, and economic differences.[15]
In Israel the homicide rate produced by criminal activities is relatively low: 2.4 killed per 100,000 inhabitants in a year (in Switzerland the number is 0.71, in Russia is 14.9, in South Africa is 34, in Venezuela is 49).[16] In 2009, 135 people were murdered in Israel. Two major motivations for homicide in Israel are violence against women (including honor killings in Muslim families) and politically motivated violence, for example Arab terrorism against Israelis.[17] The percentage of women killed by their partners who were Arab decreased from 9 out of 11 in 2009 to 10 out of 15 in 2010 and 11 out of 24 on 2011.[18]
Street crime[edit]
In Israel, street crime is rare. Crime rates are quite evenly spread across the country, albeit with some "bad" neighbourhoods in the larger towns.[citation needed]
Racist incidents, including violence, continue taking place between the Jewish majority and Arab minority. Arab-Jewish race riots have occurred on several occasions.
In September 2007, eight white supremacists sporting tattoos including the number 88 (code for Heil Hitler because "H" is the eighth letter of the alphabet) from Petah Tikva were arrested after a year of being observed desecrating synagogues, giving Nazi salutes in the street, attacking religious Jews, collected weapons explosives and Nazi propaganda and making a video. They were immigrants from Russia, and only one was fully Jewish. The rest had been allowed to immigrate due to some Jewish ancestry, but were not fully Jewish.[19]
Anti-Palestinian price tag attacks[edit]
According to Palestinian officials, between 2005 and 2015, there were 11,000 attacks on Palestinians by Jews in the West Bank and in east Jerusalem. Between 2010 to 2015, three Palestinians were killed in arson attacks. Arson attacks on property were reported for 15 individual houses, 20 mosques and 4 churches.[20]

December 12: Christmas cards
I wasn't going to do Christmas cards this year. Generally I buy a pack and send them away to all those we don't see over the festive season. But this year, I refrained. And then a few cards came trickling in and I bought one or two reciprocal cards. And then I realised I should send one to that person. Oh, and that person. And I'd totally forgotten about this group of people I'll be seeing next week...
And so today I did the Christmas cards. In between frantic stitching of presents that I need to take to the post office tomorrow to make sure they arrive before children go off to their non-custodial parents and various adults begin their own summer pilgrimages to see family and friends. In between visiting a friend and picking up the boy and extra vegetables for dinner. In between looking around the house at the cacophony of unfolded laundry and breakfast dishes and unmade beds and un-vacuumed floors.
Then I remembered: it's Christmas. Relax.

There's nothing like the first taste of freedom after a life in chains.
A beautiful mountain lion who had lived in chains for two decades as part of a traveling circus was finally freed by wildlife officials and activists who brought the wild animal back to its rightful place in a Peruvian forest.
Mufasa lived in captivity for 20 years, chained up in the back of a pick-up truck. The circus operated illegally in remote villages in Peru.
It is speculated that the circus acquired him at a really young age as an exotic pet. After Peru banned wild animals in circuses, most circuses defied the law. One by one, Animal Defenders International tracked them down and removed the animals.

ADI reports nearly 100 animals have been rescued since its inception with the active partnership of the Peruvian government.
ADI's rescue operations have freed lions, bears, monkeys and many others from circus life and Mufasa is believed to have been the last wild animal in a Peruvian circus before his rescue.

CANBERRA – Last September, at the European Forum on New Ideas, former Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev, former Polish President Lech Walesa, and former West German Foreign Minister Hans-Dietrich Genscher participated in a panel discussion (of which I was a part) on Europe's response to climate change and global development prospects more broadly. By ending the Cold War, democratizing Poland, and reunifying Germany, respectively, these leaders have helped to improve the lives of people worldwide.
In rebuilding Europe physically, politically, and socially after World War II, they demonstrated the value of transformative political leadership. To overcome the challenges that they faced, they had to recognize the failings of the paradigms that guided their peers, and adopt updated models based on a new worldview.
In the next half-century, creating a sustainable and desirable future for Europe and the world will require equally significant transformations. But the challenges to be faced will be radically different in nature.
In the second half of the twentieth century, fossil fuels were abundant and cheap. People had barely begun to consider that, over time, unbridled economic growth could damage natural capital assets. Economic growth was the unquestioned goal – and for good reason. Improving human well-being required adequate infrastructure, widespread access to goods and services, and enhanced political and economic participation.

It's amazing what competition can do to a marketplace: In the span of a week, all four national wireless carriers have either introduced, enhanced, or dropped prices or restrictions on unlimited data offerings for mobile customers. But that's a lot of change all at once — so what does it mean for you, the actual subscriber? [More]
Confused By All These New Unlimited Mobile Data Plans? Here's What's Up
Sprint Buying 33% Of Jay Z's Tidal Streaming Music Service
Sprint is lagging behind T-Mobile and the rest of the U.S. wireless field, while Jay Z's artist-friendly Tidal streaming service has not been able to catch up to Spotify and other competitors; so why not team up? [More]
Unlocking Mobile Phones Is Theoretically Easier Than It Used To Be
It happened: you took advantage of holiday season sales to buy yourself a new smartphone. Now it's time to sell your old one or hand it down to a relative, but they use a different carrier. How do you make that happen? In some cases, you don't have to do anything at all. [More]
Boost Mobile Experiments With Not Giving Away Phones, Quickly Retreats
Giving new customers an inexpensive phone for free, or a credit toward a pricier phone isn't a big deal, right? Boost Mobile apparently didn't realize what kind of effect it would have on their customers when it got rid of free phones. The experiment only lasted for two months. [More]
Best Buy & All Major Wireless Providers Have Stopped Selling Note 7
Following last night's news that Samsung had once again halted production on the Galaxy Note 7, all four of the nation's major wireless provider, and its biggest electronics retailer, say they have all pulled the Note 7 from sale. [More]
[UPDATE] All 4 Major Carriers Allow Customers Can Trade In Replacement Note 7 Phones For Any Other Model
UPDATE : All four major wireless providers say they will allow owners of replacement Note 7 smartphones to exchange them for a new device from any manufacturer after a new, supposedly non-recalled Note 7 caused a Southwest Airlines flight to be evacuated earlier this week. [More]
What's Going Wrong With Samsung Galaxy Note 7 Exchanges — And What You Can Do
Samsung issued an official recall of the defective, flammable, potentially exploding Galaxy Note 7 phone just over a week ago. Since then, consumers who own the defective devices have been trying to get the exchanges they're due… but it's not always going so well. [More]
Some Verizon Customers Say They Aren't Getting Data Overage Alerts Anymore
Amid recent reports of Verizon Wireless customers getting dinged on their bills for going over their monthly data allotments, some of these subscribers say they are going over their data limits because Verizon stopped sending them overage alerts. [More]
Samsung Galaxy Note 7 Owners Report Phone Exchange Program Not Going So Well
Nobody really wants their pocket to explode or their purse to catch fire. That's bad. So owners of defective Samsung Galaxy Note 7 phones, which have a manufacturing defect in the battery that can lead it to catch fire or explode, have been told to exchange theirs. That, however, is proving much easier on paper than in reality. [More]
Sprint CEO: This Whole Note 7 Recall Thing Will Be Forgotten In 6 Months
Despite weeks of Samsung's Galaxy Note 7 grabbing headlines — first for reports of exploding devices, then for the drawn-out process that eventually led to an official recall — at least one person thinks the whole controversy will be forgotten sooner rather than later. [More]
Ad Self-Regulation Body Refers Sprint's '50% Off' Campaign To FCC
It's really hard to get complex ideas across during a 30-second television commercial. However, the National Adverting Division, which investigates ad claims for the industry's self-regulation body, says that Sprint still isn't really getting across the subtleties of its promotions for new customers switching from other carriers, and has referred the ads to the Federal Communications Commission. [More]
Hey, Sprint Has Some New Unlimited Plans, Too
This morning, we shared the news that T-Mobile USA was doing away with the entire concept of mobile plans, and instead putting all postpaid users on plans with unlimited voice, messaging, and data. Competing small carrier and erstwhile merger partner Sprint doesn't want to be left out, and announced its own unlimited plan today. [More]
FCC To Phone Companies: Offer Free Robocall Blockers To Customers
Even though the Federal Communications Commission has repeatedly said that wireless and landline phone providers are allowed to offer robocall-blocking services to their customers, some carriers have continued to incorrectly insist — and provide misinformation to consumers — that they simply don't have the authority to deploy this technology. In an effort to make things clear once and for all, FCC Chair Tom Wheeler has sent letters to these companies that there are no regulatory roadblocks stopping them from helping their customers stop annoying — often illegal — automated and prerecorded robocalls. [More]
Sprint's Parent Company Spending $32 Billion To Buy A Piece Of Everyone's Phones
A big tech deal was announced between two international companies today. Japan-based SoftBank bought UK-based ARM for $32 billion, a sentence that's meaningless to most of us. But put another way, it starts to make a whole lot more sense: the company that owns Sprint just bought the company that makes the parts that make your iPhone actually work.
Major Wireless Carriers Offering Free Calls, Texts To Turkey After Istanbul Airport Attack
In the wake of a suspected terrorist attack at Istanbul's airport that killed 41 people and wounded 239 more, the four major wireless carriers in the U.S. are offering to connect customers with their loved ones in Turkey for free. [More]
Verizon's "Can You Hear Me Now?" Guy Now Shilling For Sprint
For years, he was the face of Verizon Wireless, popping up in TV and print ads with his "Can you hear me now?" catchphrase. Then, like all commercial fads, this pitchman's familiar face faded from public view… only to be dusted off and trotted out as a shill for Sprint.
Ad Watchdog: Sprint Should Clarify What '50% Off Your Bill' Really Means
The National Ad Division is a program of the Council of Better Business Bureaus that investigates claims of misleading or otherwise problematic ads. Complaints typically come from an advertiser's competition, and recently T-Mobile spoke up about Sprint's marketing that promises to cut customers' bills in half, or give them 50% off. The watchdog agreed that the claim made in ads is not, strictly speaking, true. [More]

Chick-fil-A Bowl adds 'Peach' back to name after playoff inclusion
Another bowl game has restored its traditional name, with the 2014 edition of the Atlanta game to be named the Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl.
More Playoffs: FSU the '14-'15 favorite | Dr. Pepper to sponsor new trophy
There's never been a four-team playoff in college football before the upcoming 2014 season. But at least the playoff is also bringing something back to Atlanta that's been gone for a while: the state fruit's prominent placement in the local bowl's official name.
Chick-fil-A Bowl officials confirmed to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution Friday that the game's "Peach Bowl" name will be restored, with the game's full title -- "Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl" -- falling in line with the name of the other five College Football Playoff bowls, all of whom retain both title sponsors and their original (sponsor-less) names.
"It got down to what is our history, what is our heritage, what is our tradition and how can we pay homage to that in our name," bowl president Gary Stokan told the AJC.
The Peach Bowl was founded in 1968, brought on Chick-fil-A as its sponsor in 1998, and dropped the "Peach" part of its name to become the Chick-fil-A Bowl in 2006. Through its affiliation with the SEC and ACC, burgeoning payouts, and Chick-fil-A's increased presence as a major college football sponsor, the game has grown in influence in recent seasons -- eventually trumping the likes of the Holiday Bowl and Capital One Bowl for the final playoff rotation spot alongside the Rose, Sugar, Fiesta, Orange and Cotton bowls.
With "Chick-fil-A Bowl" quite obviously a different animal, name-wise, than its playoff brethren, speculation has swirled for months that the game would regain its "Peach Bowl" moniker. But Stokan told the AJC that officials floated other potential names and did research to ascertain which one "had the best fit for Atlanta, college football and the future."
Not surprisingly, that research settled on the "Peach Bowl" -- making the game the second this offseason to return to its traditional name, with the Independence Bowl also restoring its pre-sponsorship title after changing sponsors from AdvoCare100 to Duck Commander.
It's hard to imagine any college football fan -- which almost by definition value tradition -- being unhappy with the move back toward's the postseason's roots. And now if the sport can just get the Capital One Bowl back to being the Citrus Bowl, it'll really be making some progress.

text: Merrimack to Pursue Registration Path for MM-121 and Partnership Opportunities Top Line Results Released From Final Phase 2 Study in the Collaboration CAMBRIDGE, Mass., June 19, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Merrimack Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Nasdaq:MACK) today announced that it has reached an agreement with Sanofi to regain worldwide rights to develop and commercialize MM-121, a monoclonal antibody designed to block ErbB3 (HER3) activation in patients with heregulin-positive tumors and improve response to standard of care treatments. In partnership with Sanofi, Merrimack completed an extensive Phase 2 program for MM-121 which was designed to assess the role of ErbB3 in a number of cancer indications in both the metastatic and neoadjuvant settings. In advanced settings of ovarian cancer, ER/PR+ HER2 negative breast cancer and non-small cell lung cancer, Merrimack was able to identify that heregulin, the principal ligand that binds to and activates the ErbB3 receptor, is associated with poor response to standard of care therapy and that adding MM-121 may restore sensitivity in these most at-risk patients. Consistent across three metastatic cancer indications with three different standard of care therapies, patients in these trials with heregulin-positive tumors experienced a statistically significant reduction in their risk of progression when they received a combination with MM-121. Heregulin-driven drug resistance pathways were found to be active in approximately 30-50 percent of patients tested. Data from these studies were recently presented at the 2014 American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meeting. To view the clinical posters presented at ASCO 2014, click here. "We are grateful for Sanofi's support over the last five years and believe that the data generated through this partnership validate the potential for MM-121 to help patients most at risk for progression on current therapies. Regaining MM-121 is an opportunity to capitalize on our leadership position among the other oncology companies that are pursuing ErbB3," said Robert Mulroy, President and CEO at Merrimack. "With these data and the feedback we've received from our committed investigators, we believe MM-121 has the potential to be a foundational therapy for use across multiple solid tumor types and we plan to continue its development through subsequent strategic partnerships. Our next step is to discuss our Phase 2 data and potential registration paths with the FDA."

| Cobaldramon
|Appears in:
|Digimon Classic
|First appearance
|Movie Chapter: Bronze and Cobalt
"Oh great master of desires, you have journeyed far into my deep abyss to seek my power and abilities. Tell me, what is your wish?"
Legends tell of an ancient conflict that predate the dawn of time itself. In fact, it has been influenced by time itself ever since time began. Legends tell of two Digimon whose powers were vast and mysterious, fateful encounters between both being apocalyptic at peak. Legends tell of these two Legendary Digimon, and their capabilities are nearly unmatched, even to this day when more powerful Digimon emerge. Should anything more powerful dare challenge them, their own power levels will immediately surpass that of the target and vaporize anything in sight. This is the legend of one of those two Digimon; Cobaldramon, the Cobalt Hydra of Darkness. It's archenemy is the Bronze Dragon of Light, Brondramon. Both have been in an eternal battle for who knows how long, and in their constant battles, you can guarantee that something shall be destroyed to remind everybody of their power. Many believe assumed both Digimon were destroyed in the Great Cataclysm, but The Grand One had done one thing immediately after wiping all of his prior work clean; Restoring both Legendary Digimon to their full power, he merely kept it a secret from everybody that he had revived both Digimon. Cobaldramon is the personification of wants, desires, and evil. Those who follow under it shall command it in battle to use to bring about the tamer's own wishes into the new world order they can and will create on their own.....
Digimon Classic: Bronze and Cobalt Notes
- Cobaldramon is the winner of the poll to decide which out of either it or Brondramon would be the main star of the special chapter, and also being the main protagonist alongside the other main characters.
- Cobaldramon will get an early cameo in a Deus ex machina role, mirroring the first appearance of Zekrom in the Pokemon B/W Anime, in which Cobaldramon appears out of nowhere and completely foils the entire plot of the villains before they can even get a chance to start.
