Water Levels in the Conservancy (gauge shown in photo)

1 10 The heavy rainfall also caused an increase in the water levels of the East Demerara Water Conservancy Dam (EDWC). This structure is not a robust structure and is constructed from sand, clay and some peaty material. In addition, repairs have been carried out in many areas, to address old breaches or recently overtopped sections, using a locally available organic material known as pegas. At the eastern section of the northern dam, about 30% of the dam is considered to be in critical condition. For the rest of the northern sections of the dam and also for the western section of the dam, about 10% is assessed to be in a poor state 4. The crest of the dam is at approximately 60.0 ft relative to Guyana Datum (GD), which is 1.8 feet above Mean Sea Level. Safe management of the dam requires that the water level in the conservancy should be maintained above 50 feet GD to avoid drawdown failure of the dam inwards, but should not go higher than approximately 57 feet GD to avoid excess pressure on the upper sections of the dam, which could in turn lead to failure, or above 59.0 feet GD, which would lead to breaching of the dam.. 60 East Demerara Water Conservancy Water level (ft) Oct 15-Oct 29-Oct 12-Nov 26-Nov 10-Dec 24-Dec Date 7-Jan 21-Jan 4-Feb Figure 9 Water Levels in the Conservancy (gauge shown in photo) As the rains continued, the levels in the dam came dangerously close to a critical level of 59.0 ft GD (Figure 9). This condition was greatly exacerbated by the fact that many of the water level management canals had became inoperable or had severely reduced conveyance capacities. This situation became even more critical as breaches in the dam began to occur, worsening the downstream conditions for the close to 350,000 coastal populations of Georgetown and the East Coast. As the flood waters continued to rise, power and drinking water systems became temporarily inoperable. Latrines were flooded, crops were inundated and livestock stranded in in. deep water. In many cases, people were trapped on the upstairs floors of their houses. The occurrence of a period of high tides following the heavy rains also prevented the easy drainage of canal water through the seawall kokers. 4 Geotechnical and Hydraulic Assessment of Flooding Danger Caused by the East Demerara Water Conservancy Dam. Nisa Nurmahomed and Olaf van Duin, UNDAC.
2 11 The wholesale flooding of the affected population was prevented by two main interventions. First, excess water was discharged to the canals leading to the Mahaica River, thereby easing the build up of water behind the crest of the dam. This action had the unfortunate, but anticipated, impact of flooding many of the communities along the banks of that river (see Photo 3 below). Had this not been done, it is very likely that the dam would have been breached, releasing close to 100 billion gallons of water into the coastal zone. Photo 3 Sandbagging on the Banks of the Mahaica River The second intervention was the 24-hour dam repair operation that was carried out by a team of approximately 150 people, who sandbagged the crest of the dam and/or used pegasse material to raise the height of the dam crest in places where overtopping had already commenced (see Photos 4 and 5 below). It is likely that this action, in combination with the planned discharge of water to the Mahaica River, averted what could have been a very disastrous situation.

4 13 2. The affected population 2.1 The affected population Guyana is divided into 10 administrative regions, with a population of 742,041, of which 75% live along the coast. Some 463,300 persons or 62% of the total population of Guyana, reside in Regions 3, 4 and 5, which were the hardest hit by the flood. The disaster claimed the lives of 34 persons, seven directly attributed to drowning by flood waters and 27 due to illnesses arising out of the flood conditions. Table 2 details the affected population by region. Table 2 Affected Population by Regions Population severely affected % of Pop Severely Affected Pop Moderately affected % of pop moderately affected Total Region Population Region 1 23,204 Region 2 48,411 4,841 10% Region 3 101,920 41,787 41% 66,248 65% Region 4 309, ,522 72% 262,700 85% Region 5 52,321 10,464 20% 20,928 40% Region 6 122,849 Region 7 15,935 Region 8 9,211 Region 9 19,365 Region 10 39,766 Totals 742, , ,718 Percentages 37% 48% Source: ECLAC estimates based on Official GOG data The flood was concentrated in what are also the most heavily populated regions of the country, as can be seen in Table 2, resulting in some 274,774 persons, or 37% of the national population, being severely affected by the flood waters. In Region 4, a total of 222,522 persons or 72% of the region s population were severely affected. Some 41,787 persons or 41% of the population in Region 3, and another 10,464 or 20% in Region 5 experienced the cruel conditions of the flooding. In all, 37% of Guyana s population could be said to be severely affected by the flood. The secondarily affected population or those who would be considered to be moderately affected by the disaster accounted for 354,718 or 48% of the total population. They could be found not only in the severely affected regions but also in Region 2. The ECLAC methodology allows for a third category of affected population, those who reside outside the affected areas but who may house or support those found in the direct path of the disaster, such as was the case found among the population of Linden, where many affected persons sought refuge.
5 14 From one to seven weeks, persons along the Guyana coast lived in three to five feet of water, in deteriorating environmental conditions including proliferation of solid waste, carcasses of livestock and household pets, sewage from pit latrines and septic tanks, and a contaminated water distribution system, all of which heightened the risk for water and vector borne diseases. People in the villages in the region of the Mahaica and Mahaicony Rivers continue to live in flood waters. It should be noted, however, that not all are equally vulnerable. The poorest are found to be the most susceptible to natural disasters as they possess the least assets to enable them to buffer against the difficulties caused by the disaster, and have less capacities to improve their positions thereafter. Although there has been some improvement in the living conditions of the Guyanese population between 1992 and the last survey of living conditions, which was conducted in 1999, as Table 3 makes evident, a significant proportion of the Guyanese population, 35%, lives below the poverty line, and Guyana continues to be one of the poorest countries in the Western Hemisphere. Unfortunately, poverty data distributed by regions was unavailable. Table 3 Poverty estimates for geographic locations in Guyana for 1992 and 1999 Geographical Level Extremely Poor Poor Georgetown Other Urban Rural Coastal Rural Interior Guyana Source: Guyana poverty Reduction Strategy Paper Table 3 indicates that there is a substantial difference in the chance of being poor within the rural setting, dependent on whether a person lives on the rural coast or in the interior. In addition to the quantitative difference between rural and urban poverty, there is also a marked difference between the qualitative experience of poverty, as has been suggested by data from a 2000 survey, which found that the prevalence rate for moderate-to-severe malnutrition in children, in the interior rural areas was only 4%, while coastal rural areas suffered 13% and coastal urban areas suffered 9% 5. It was suggested that the disparities could have been explained by a number of factors. Central among them were the differences between agricultural and nonagricultural areas, conditions in sanitation and water quality and by differences in areas of very high and very low malaria rates. However, the study indicated that 27% of all Guyanese children are at least moderately anemic. 5 MICS (2001). Table 14. Page 58.
6 15 The December/January floods increased the health/nutritional risk of those persons living in the coastal region and, no doubt, exacerbated the health conditions of the most vulnerable in the society, particularly children, as the subsistence or backyard gardens managed by their families, which supported their nutritional intake, were damaged Vulnerability of women and children Women head approximately 30% of the households, although it has been argued that this figure may be underestimated in light of the heavy out migration of men who go in search of employment in other parts of the Caribbean and North America. When the significant proportion of women who have responsibility for household management is combined with women s low labour force participation rate, some 39% compared to the male rate of 81%, and the high levels of female unemployment - the female unemployment rate is more than twice that of the male rate, 18% and 8% respectively - an appreciation of the extent of the vulnerability of women in Guyana can be had. If consideration is given as well to the fact that many of the poor households, an equal proportion of which are headed by women, have larger households to care for than non poor households, the difficult position of women and their children becomes clear. 7 Large proportions of these women can be found at work in the informal sector, and are not captured among the employed. Those who work in agriculture are often a forgotten group and are invisible to agricultural planners, agricultural extension providers and their productive efforts may fall outside of the national accounts. They carry the burden for the rearing of children, and care for the elderly; but like their sisters across the region, because they possess few titles to farm lands are unable to access credit, training or benefits from technological advancement. 8 They work supporting family farms, and in the marketing of domestic produce, or selling goods from their backyard gardens. The other group of women in Guyana s informal sector can be found in the commercial/retail sector, selling clothing, engaged in the home-based sewing of garments, running little shops and engaged in light vending on the streets. Both groups of women have suffered from the devastation caused by the flooding. One group, found in the agricultural sector lost their produce and their poultry and other animals and is without the necessary capital to reinvest; and the other group found in the commercial/retail sector has lost goods, which may have been taken on credit and they now need access to new credit for additional goods, in order to turn over a subsistence income and repay their debts. 9 When the full picture of the damage caused by the flood is told it will be that poor, single female-headed households, of all ethnicities and their children, have suffered immense hardship. 6 Corroboration of this information appears in the Agricultural analysis of this assessment. 7 See the Guyana Poverty Reduction Strategy Paper (2002) which discusses the demographic characteristics of the poor. 8 Information on women small farmers can be found in the IICA Study on Women Small Farmers in the Caribbean, ed. By Brenda Kleysen This information was substantiated at a meeting of over 200 women organized by Red Thread, on March 3, Women came from villages such as Good Hope: Phase 1 and 2, Buxton, Lusignan, Sophia, Better Hope and Strathspey.
7 Psycho social trauma The vast majority of the population of Guyana would not have ever experienced flooding of this magnitude. The last major flooding to affect Georgetown and the East Coast occurred in the mid- 1930s, which suggests that intense flooding may only be a real memory for possibly 2-3% of today s population. This absence of memory seems to have intensified the psychosocial trauma of the population. Another factor which may influence the psycho-social impact of the disaster is the notion held among the average Guyanese, that they know and understand flooding. This false sense of knowledge/safety seemed to have lulled the population into a position of disbelief about the gravity of the situation as the December/January rains turned out to be far more insidious than expected. One senses that as a result of the flooding, a greater sense of anxiety and some fear of the next rainy season, expected in May/June, is widespread. Disasters have differing impacts on people. It is clear that the heavily burdened health sector, although knowledgeable about the possible psycho-social trauma that may have resulted as a consequence of the phenomenon of the floods, was not in a position to pay the level of attention to the issue as desired. This became evident through the major medical campaign which was waged in order to attend to the physical needs of the population and to ensure that outbreaks of diseases were quickly addressed and kept under control. It is not surprising that the evidence of psycho-social trauma rehabilitation has not been strong. However, it is clear that the affected population has been traumatised by the event. A team of observers 10 who met with persons resident in shelters noted the sense of despair and hopelessness that existed, evident through questions asked by the shelter residents. Questions asked were: how will I be able to start over?, when will it end?, what can I do, I have lost my job and all my possessions?, and I feel angry, helpless, hopeless and totally confused I worry all the time?. Research on disaster management, indicates that there are varying responses to disasters including abuse of alcohol and abusive behaviours in men and bouts of crying and deep depression in women, as each attempts to cope with the distress which disasters bring. Anecdotal evidence of such behaviours was reported Emergency action The unprecedented heavy rainfall which inundated the coastal regions of Guyana in mid- January resulted in a limited emergency being declared by the President of Guyana and Commander-in-Chief. The emergency took effect in Regions 3, 4 and later 5 and a number of emergency committees were established to coordinate a response to the disaster. On 3 February, the CDC of the Government of Guyana assumed responsibility for disaster planning and coordination from the JOC (Joint Operations Command). 10 These comments come from a team of observers led by Dr. Desrey Caesar-Fox on behalf of the Guyana Citizens Initiative, a civil society organization involved in supporting relief and recovery efforts. The observations were part of a rapid assessment undertaken on 11 Feb 2005.
8 17 At the peak of the disaster, more than 5,000 persons were housed in 45 shelters run by the GDF, the Relief Council and other private organizations. They were supported by agencies such as the World Food Programme (WFP), the Red Cross, and religious and civil society organizations, such as the Rotary Clubs and the Guyana Citizens Initiative. By 2 February, the numbers in shelters had been reduced to just over 2,500 as Table 4 indicates. Nearly 50% of the residents of shelters were children. By 8 March 2005, 21 days after the rains began, only one shelter, housing a family of five, run by the Guyana Relief Council was still operational. All others had been closed.

9 18 The JOC, also referred to as Joint Services, also provided more than 146,458 cooked meals during the period of the flooding and the Government of Guyana distributed more than 78,327 food hampers. The Central Islamic Organization distributed food hampers to 22 Masjids across the East Coast, totalling some 6,000. Potable water was not available initially in the flood-affected communities, in response the Ministry with responsible for water, Joint Services, private contractors and international agencies such as OXFAM were successful in supplying potable water to most affected communities through a network of tanks, supply of bottled water, water in jerry cans and community stand pipes. In the aftermath of the flooding, the GDF and the Red Cross distributed a total of 32,613 cleaning kits which included soap powder, a hard brush, washing soap and bleach. Finally, in response to the disaster, in the Budget speech of 21 February 2005, the Government indicated that it would undertake the following: allocate GY$220,000, for the procurement of goods and services; waive the duty and consumption tax on food supplies that were imported for the flood victims; and waive duties and taxes on specified food items that were imported for commercial use. The response of the international community has been swift and generous. By 18 January the United States Agency for International Development/Office of Foreign Disaster Assistance (USAID/OFDA) had deployed a team to Guyana to assess the emergency needs and coordinate its relief efforts. On 8 February the United Nations issued a consolidated appeal for more than US$2.9 million. Their targeted areas included: access to food, potable water, and adequate sanitation; disease surveillance; waste disposal; community clean-up; health and education services; and livelihoods. Table 5 details the relief assistance received by the Government from regional governments and the international donor community, which amounted to some US$3.7 million.

11 20 3. Description of damage and losses by sector 3.1 Productive sectors Agriculture, livestock, fisheries and forestry (a) Overview The agricultural sector plays an important, though fluctuating, role in the economy of Guyana. This is underscored by the sector s contribution to foreign exchange earnings, employment and GDP. In 2004, for instance, the agricultural sector accounted for approximately 35.4% of total GDP, compared with a corresponding 36.4% in Growth rates Agriculture Figure 10 Growth rates of sugar, rice and agriculture Sugar Years Rice The performance of the sector for the period 1999 to 2004 may be described as mixed. The high positive growth of 29.7% achieved in 1999 was followed by a negative growth rate of 10.2% in In the ensuing two years, 2001 and 2002, the sector registered positive growth rates of 3.7% and 6.0%, respectively. The short period of positive growth was, however, followed by a negative growth rate of 1.7% in In 2004, the sector recovered and registered a positive growth of 3.2%. These changes in the sector s rate of growth are closely related to the fortunes and outputs of the principal crops sugar-cane and rice. The growth rates of these commodities for the period 1999 to 2004 are presented in Figure 10. Growth in the livestock subsector has been fairly steady since 1998, registering only positive growth, while the fishing industry has registered positive growth rates, with the exception of 2002 and 2004, when the subsector declined by 3.6% and 1.3%, respectively. Growth in the forestry subsector has fluctuated over the period under review with a tendency to decline. A wide range of non-traditional crops are grown in Guyana. These range from fruits
12 21 and vegetables, roots and tubers, herbs and spices and legumes. The non-traditional commodities play a significant role in ensuring some element of food security in the country. Prior to the flood disaster, the sector was expected to register positive growth in, at least, the medium run. In 2005, the sector was expected to expand by 5.2%, fueled by projected growth in sugar (3.9%), rice (13.0%), livestock (5.3%), other agriculture (5.0%), fishing (5.7%) and forestry (2.2%). (b) Description, analysis and estimation of the flood damage The impact of the flood damage was concentrated within the coastal administrative regions of West Demerara/Essequibo Islands, Demerara/Mahaica, and Mahaica/West Berbice. These areas comprise approximately 62.4% of the population of Guyana. The damage to the agricultural sector was most severe in Region 4 accounting for 55.0 % of the total damage, followed by Region 2 with 23.2% and Region 5 with 18.8 %. Significant losses were recorded in the sugar, rice, livestock and crop subsectors. The ECLAC methodological framework for estimating the socio-economic and environmental effects of disasters was utilized in assessing the flood damage to the agricultural sector. Within this context, damage to the sector was categorized under two broad headings: direct and indirect damages. In assessing the direct damage to the sector only losses to capital assets were considered. The direct losses were identified under four broad headings: Damage to farmland; Damage to physical Infrastructure and to machinery and equipment; Losses of crops that are ready to be harvested; and Losses of stock (livestock, inputs, harvested products, etc.) In assessing production losses, only production ready to be harvested at the time of the flood was taken into consideration. However, for affected annual crops that were still growing at the onset of the flood, losses were assessed based on investment in labour and input. In the case of losses of stock, where total losses occurred, damages were estimated at farm prices and inputs at replacement value. Assessments for partial loss and damage were effected on a prorated basis. Direct damages caused by the flood disaster that will have a negative impact on production throughout the recovery period were assessed as indirect losses. In the case of the rice industry, the flooding of the rice fields is expected to impact negatively on the future harvesting as well as on the planting of rice. As well, livestock production was to decrease in the future as a result of stress and animal disease.

14 23 Table 6 provides a summary of the direct, indirect and total damage to sugar, rice, livestock, other crops, fisheries and forestry subsectors, as well as to farm roads, the National Agricultural Research Institute (NARI) and the Guyana School of Agriculture (GSA). The sugar industry The sugar industry which accounts for approximately 18.0% of Guyana s GDP (2004), 25% of its foreign exchange earnings and affects the lives of over 10% of the country s population, directly and indirectly, was heavily impacted upon. Total damage to the industry is put at G$2,336,336, which represents approximately 16.3% of that subsector s GDP. The major line item of losses was crop loss, accounting for approximately 84.4% of total loss. While large acreages of crop have not been swept away, it is anticipated that the sugar content of the harvested cane will be lower than usual. Details on damage assessment of the sugar industry is presented in Table 7 The rice industry The rice industry was also heavily impacted by the flood disaster, with some 1,000 farmers occupying some 19,680 acres affected. Total loss to the industry is estimated at G$1,688,138, or 27.8% of the subsector s GDP. The affected areas were the Mahaica/Abary and West Berbice (Region 5) representing approximately 75.3% of total damage to the industry. The rice industry accounts for approximately 3.6% of the Guyana s GDP and contributes approximately 9% of export revenues. Details on damage assessment for the rice industry is presented in Table 8. The other crop subsector The category other crops which includes fruits, vegetables, roots and tubers, and herbs and spices suffered severely, with loss estimated at G$5,978,112, While on the surface the estimate may seem high, it may, however, reflect a high level of previously unreported backyard gardening in the affected areas. Crop production in Region 3 and Region 4 were heavily impacted by the flood disaster, accounting for 28.7 % and 58.2%, respectively, of total damage to the other crop subsector. Details of damage estimate for the subsector are presented in Table 9. The livestock subsector The livestock subsector was also severely affected by the flood disaster with total estimated loss to the industry put at G$607,497, This figure represents approximately 18.8% of livestock GDP. Region 4 was the area mostly affected with loss estimated at G$468,935, or 77.2% of total loss to the livestock subsector. Details of damage estimate for this vital subsector are presented in Table 10.
15 24 The fisheries industry The impact of the flood disaster on the fisheries subsector has been minimal. The floods have had some impact on the Mon-Repos Aquaculture station, resulting in the loss of Red Tilapia fingerlings and some marketable Hassar. There has been some impact on the Department of Fisheries building in Brickdam, with damage to the generator. The total flood damage to the subsector is assessed at G$229, (Table 11). The forestry industry The forestry industry also suffered very little effects from the flood disaster. Approximately 20 lumberyards along the East Coast were affected with loss of lumber assessed at one million board ft at an estimated cost of G$70,000, (Table 12). The farm roads Approximately miles of earthen farm roads were assessed to be damaged. The value for repairs and reconstruction is assessed at G$141,893, (Table 13). The agricultural institutions NARI and the GSA were also impacted by the flood disaster. Damage estimates for these two institutions are presented in Tables 14 and Table 15, respectively.

I've discovered NaBloPoMo through a2zmom and tempertemper77 (Thanks, guys!), and since I can't do NaNo, this sounds intriguing. :) Without a doubt, I've written less post-baby; perhaps this will get me moving in the other direction. I'm jumping in late, but I'll try to play catch-up for the days I missed.
A couple weeks ago a tabloid rag ran an article about an actor who supposedly cheated on his wife while she was pregnant with their second child. I don't read tabloids, and I don't consider them sources of accurate reporting and fact-checking. However, what I did find very interesting about the whole situation was some of the fan reaction I came across online.
Many fans insisted that the actor couldn't possibly have been unfaithful to his wife -- because he is a family man, because he is close to his parents, who are "good people," because HE is a "good man," etc. Who wants to believe that a person they admire could lie and cheat?
I am in no way claiming that the actor in question actually did cheat on his wife. But I know this: most of us don't know our favorite public figures. We admire them from a distance. We know what images they project. We know how they make us feel if they are actors or artists. We may even know when they were born, their favorite foods, and the names of their family pets.
The sum of all that still does not equal true knowledge of a person.
People we do know well and even love, may shock both us and themselves with what they can do, including being unfaithful. Standing on the outside of a relationship, we simply cannot know and understand precisely what occurs on the inside.
That holds true for our friends, relatives, and favorite celebrities.
*hugs back* I've survived so far, and there's every indication that I shall continue to. There are just some days where it all really bugs me, that's all. That's life, though, I suppose *shrugs* heh.

Hey, im cool with a rays fan, but do you really care that much if I call them the Devil Rays instead of the rays?
The picture change was subjective. I usually prefer pictures that give a better view of the player, and I thought your article talked more about the Rays pitching than hitting. Please feel free to change it to a picture you prefer. If you have any other questions or comments don't hesitate to let me know.

i migth give this a try because kokoro connect washed the bad taste i had with these designs, also past kyoani productions were midly amusing and pretty good repectively. I just find dull the lack of variety in character designs, the protagonist, the glassed girl, and the loli look very similar, and the male leads of this and past two kyoani productions have the same hair, and they werent the only ones within those animes, but im aware this is probably to ease it a little for the animators.

Honestly, anime lately needs more good romances more than it needs more good slice of life shows (going by more liberal definitions of "slice of life" anyway).
To be fair, I fully expected this show to be very K-On-esque, and I was/am Ok with that. Nonetheless, it's very disappointing to know what it transitioned from.
It went from a romance in a Rome-like place with lots of fantasy elements to a slice of life show in Japan with one fantasy element. In other words, it went from "different" to "conventional". Pretty disheartening, especially since this is an anime original, where anime going a bit outside of its comfort zones is often key to it becoming great.

Not to mention all stories go through several revisions. Sometimes ideas sound good on paper, but pulling them off in a way that's entertaining for people to read becomes a challenge. That's just part of what goes into creating art.

Personally, I like watching a good romance at least once in a while.
I still think this will be a good show, but it's disappointing to see that KyoAni had a real chance to go a bit outside of its comfort zone, but whiffed on it.

Of course you're right in that atmosphere, theme, direction, writing are quite important (in fact I tend to value them much more than premise)
It's just that since this is the k-on staff and k-on really never did anything for me the one thing that would have intrigued me was the different premise,now that it's gone I can only hope to be pleasantly surprised.

I disagree with your statement though. Good romances are more easy to come across than good slice of life shows especially in the iyashikei subgenre. I consider myself lucky when I can find one of them in a season (this season, it's Hidamari).

"Your manuscript is both good and original, but the part that is good is not original and the part that is original is not good."
Something conventional can be more efficient, and, once it doesn't have to polish its premise, can focus on other things. A lot of my favorite works are based entirely on this notion.

This is so disappointing.
RRR is right here, irrespective of how you feel about what kind of show it has become, there is the fact that they seemingly decided to go from something more unconventional to conventional. I been waiting for this studio to go and do something really different lately, but it seems we been robbed of that opportunity once more.
Unfortunately this makes it all the more souring because the new details coming out sound like something that might be practically unwatchable for my tastes. But I guess time will tell. This doesn't seem to have much potential in any case.

Anyway, thanks for the clarification.
For a company as successful as them, it would be nice to see them take a real artistic challenge every now and then. Yes, a risk can blow up in your face, Guilty Crown-style (still, that was nonetheless commercially successful). But it's also where you're most likely to find your Madoka Magicas.

"Art is not produced by highfalutin dudes in puffy shirts studying and analyzing what worked and then replicating it. Art is produced by the populist mass media by complete accident. Only time and distance separate Falstaff from Fonzie or Optimus Prime."
I think I've wrung out this analogy enough.

Personally, I wouldn't hate "high school in modern Japan" as a setting quite so much if it weren't the 'default' option nowadays, and if it weren't for shows like this, that could have been far more interesting, being turned into that for whatever reason.

But the setting change really is disappointing. And to be fair, this isn't just a knock on KyoAni, but on anime as a whole. I like many anime shows with a Japanese high school setting, but that setting is becoming a bit of a creative crutch now.
But that's probably my last word on that.
I still think this will be a good show because KyoAni simply does not do shoddy work. As long as the writing quality is at least competent, this should be a good show.

Additional information from the Newtype feature with just Yamada.
-Don't you want to try a new project? That's how I received this story two years ago. The show is set in the shopping district because I wanted to try and express "the concept of kindness." It focuses on a mochi shop since it's a fundamental part of Japanese culture or perhaps it's because it gives off a joyful feeling.
-I think people's faces express happiness whenever they say "mochi." That's why you should say it that way instead of "mochi."
-I think this work will turn out well if we're able to provide the viewers with a sense of happiness from Tamako's smiling face. It's that way from being raised amongst many warm people.

Monarch of Rughzenhaide
Spoiler for Somewhat off-topic rant about anime romances:
In regards to "slice of life" and "high school settings" in general, yeh it's definitely overused. As a subgenre recently, there's been a lot of "friendship" based anime too which I don't know when it exactly started but I do know it started to skyrocket in number since Anohana's massive success. I'm not exactly sick of it yet since a significant number of shows I liked this year came from this theme (Natsuiro Kiseki, Tsruitama and Tari Tari being examples) but there is indeed a "higher threshold" it needs to obtain on the execution side for it to be great. Tari Tari achieved that execution scale with flying colors so it passed, but something like Natusiro Kiseki probably not. The currently airing Chuunibyou does not either for me.
Tamako Market will then now need to somehow be extraordinary in its execution to stand out from the pack. If it's anything like the faffing about and "huur duuur laugh at semi-mentally disabled girls doing cute things" K-on was, then no it will personally not work on me and I'll dismiss it straight away. If it's something like Tari Tari or Hyouka which somehow made really generic premises into something truly great then I'm all for it. Execution is key here.

I think we agree on the thesis statement, but the reasoning we'd use for why we agree with that statement comes from totally different angles - basically, everything after the second sentence isn't necessarily what I was implying or agree with. As for the rest... I consider K-ON! to be the series that probably had the most impact on me of any anime in the past few years, so I stand by why I'd be glad if this series is closer to it in style.

Turned loose in the studio, three enormously talented guitarists, accompanied by solid percussion, drums and programming, might well produce a super session. Charlie Hunter's patented eight-string sound knows no parallel; search out his start-to-finish instrumental reimagination of Bob Marley's Natty Dread album on Blue Note. Ernest Ranglin practically invented ska guitar, and his recent work with Jamaican pianist Monty Alexander is sublime. "Chinna" Smith has backed all the greats (the Abyssinians, Black Uhuru, Burning Spear, Jimmy Cliff, Bob Marley and Tommy McCook, among others). But ventures like this owe their success less to overpowering talent than to a disciplined producer's vision, and Earth Tones goes half the distance. The best tracks are wonderfully inspired yet coolly understated (the sizzling Smith-Hunter creation "Long Bay," Edie Brickell's "What I Am," Hunter's "Mestre Tata," Smith's "Fade Away"), but other material is limp and listless. Ranglin's tasteful playing underpinned the Melodians' blockbusting original "Rivers Of Babylon," sadly redone here as an elevator afterthought; and "Island In The Sun" (the Caribbean chestnut erroneously attributed in the notes to "I. Burgess"—it's actually by the inimitable Irving Burgie) receives similarly slack treatment.

In a compound that looks part boot camp and part rehab center, drill instructors drive young men through military-style obstacle courses while inside, counselors take the lead in group sessions. Welcome to the Jump Up Internet Rescue School in South Korea, believed to be the first of its kind in the world. Its purpose: To help their youths to kick their addiction to cyberspace.
South Korea is the most wired nation on earth, ninety percent of homes connect to cheap, high-speed broadband, with Internet parlors available on practically every street corner. Yet such ready access to the Web has come at a price from a generation of users who seem unable to tear themselves away from their computer screens.
The government has built a network of 140 Internet-addiction counseling center nation-wide to address the issue, among other efforts. The Internet Rescue Camp is the latest initiative and is completely paid-for by the country.
According to The New York Times:
The rescue camp, in a forested area about an hour south of Seoul, was created to treat the most severe cases. This year, the camp held its first two 12-day sessions, with 16 to 18 male participants each time.
One of the participants, Lee Chang-hoon, 15, started using the computer to pass the time while his parents were working and he was home alone. According to the article:
He spent 17 hours a day online, mostly looking at Japanese comics and playing a combat role-playing game called Sudden Attack. He played all night, and skipped school two or three times a week to catch up on sleep. When his parents told him he had to go to school, he reacted violently.
"I don't have a problem," Chang-hoon said in an interview three days after starting the camp. "Seventeen hours a day online is fine."
Yet it is clear that not everyone is on the same page on whether Internet addiction represents a problem. Mike Masnick over at TechCrunch wrote:
For years, we've pointed out how ridiculous it is for people to be blaming Internet addictions for things, when almost every case of "internet addiction" that's demonstrated that the actual problem was something else, and the internet usage was just a way of "escaping" from those other problems.
... On top of that, reports have shown that so-called "internet addictions" tend not to be particularly harmful, and it makes you wonder what the big deal is.
As an IT professional and possibly parent, what is your take on this? Would you rank Internet addiction on the same footing as substance or drug abuse?
Is Internet addiction a growing problem that needs to be swiftly addressed?

Do you want to significantly increase your company value?
"MBNE can help insulate
you and your company from the challenges of being a public stock company
through our Special Partnering Program. Dr Morris has more than 20 years
experience handling the reporting and compliance details of being a
public company".
The best use of capital in a private stock company is to growth net earnings. Whether you are seeking a higher income and dividends for your shareholders or building the value of your company, higher earnings a measure and the fuel for continued growth.
However, most business persons
and investors realize the additional capital invested in a "good"
growing business will product higher returns of earnings and business
The challenge is to grow
the company as fast you can so everyone involved can get the benefit
as soon as possible. And beating this challenge is very dependent on
raising new investment capital.
So what can we do to help you sell stock privately or borrow on some reasonable terms?
Private Placement Process
The most typical form for legally raising smaller amounts of equity capital for your business is a Private Placement Securities Offering. This form relies on an exemption from registration with the US Securities and Exchange Commission. There are very important rules to be followed for raising the money and usually a securities attorney is retained to help you create a Private Placement Memorandum ("PPM") for presentation to each and every investor. The PPM helps protect you and your company from law suits if everything doesn't work out as your investor expects or thought it would. The PPM containing your financials and other relevant information is what you are representing to the investor.
Legal and accounting fees can range from tens to a $100,000 dollars and can take a few weeks to a few months. We have on going relationships with lawyers and CPAs that emphasize speed and economy for our team clients. If you do it for the first and only time, you will probably spend more then are fees and waste significant time.
The acceptability of a private placement by potential investors can be a challenge for raising the money. Most licensed investment bankers won't bother with a private placement especially if it is not part of a subsequent public offering. And any astute investor will be concerned about the liquidity or exit from the investment which means how an investor gets their money back in success or failure.
We can help you with presenting your private placement to families and friends, angels, venture capitalist, licensed investment bankers and institutional investors, Also, the financial structure of the deal may determine success or failure.
Not using a good team including a securities attorney and CPA could be devastating to you personally and your company. So if you don't use us, please find another ethical, legal and experienced team that will help you and not ruin you.
And, why should it be a public stock company especially it the simple fact that your company could be worth about four time more as a public company versus a private company given he same earnings.
The share value of publicly
traded companies is usually valued in terms of the earnings per share
and the price earnings multiple ("PE") which is: "How
many times the price of a share of stock is worth in the market times
the earnings per share." The total market value of company or "market
capitalization" value is the total number of shares outstanding
times the price per share. So the higher the earnings and/or the higher
the PE, the higher the total value of the company.
These are some of the reasons that your private company could increase in value 3 to 5 times as a well run public company. Do you want to significantly increase your company value?
Significantly increasing the value of your company involves many activities that our team has experienced. Each opportunity is specifically different in many ways and requires careful analysis and planning. Also, integrity and honest by all parties is of maximum concern and importance.

It has been more than a month since my last update - or at least a semblance of an update.
The ant has been busy - and uninspired (or just plain lazy) - for the past weeks. Besides that, nothing eventful really happened.
Well, I did have my birthday last month but even that was not so note-worthy. I started out planning to go out bowling with the family but last minute changes and a sick nephew prevented us from pushing through with it and my parents and I ended up eating out in a mall.
I haven't been going to yoga sessions for well over a month, I guess, and I am starting to feel the weight coming back and the lethargy setting in. I really, really need to get back to working out. Though I've really been taking it slow for quite some time now as I have been beginning to notice asthma attack precursors showing up - due mainly to weather changes and work-related stress.
Speaking of work, it hasn't been rosy at the work place either. I had to make major man-power decisions and is looking at making another this week. All these aside from the numerous reports, process monitoring, performance evaluation, training development & implementation and other non-work-essential-but-work-related projects.
On the flip side, though, I have gained some headway on my comic collection - what with the recent opening of a local online comic book store. Truly, a boon from the gods - and a bane to my savings account!
Which is actually why I am sitting on the fence with regards to moving on and quitting my job at this point. No job at this time means no extra money for X-Men, Ultimates, Justice League and Birds of Prey. Sigh - the things one has to consider to make life more interesting.
And in a few more days, Christmas will be upon us - and the SMAP, or Samahang Malaming ang Pasko (which I am currently the Mother Superior of), will have its annual retreat. Oh, how I would love to not be a member of this group this year! Any takers?
So, I've pretty much covered updating the more important aspects of my life on this post.
Hopefully, something good and exciting is brewing up just around the corner for the next few days or weeks before we finally say goodbye to 2011 and say hello to 2012.
So, the Ant is back... for now...

David Beckham Takes In a Tennis Match with Son Romeo!
David Beckham and his son Romeo sit in the stands while watching a match during the first round of the Aegon Championships on Tuesday (June 14) at The Queens Club in London, England.
The father-son duo took in the match between Stan Wawrinka of Switzerland and Fernando Verdasco of Spain.
Over the weekend, Romeo got to play tennis alongside Andy Murray. Watch the video below!
"It's obviously a huge treat and one that he wasn't expecting or I wasn't expecting as well," David told BBC. "We were just coming down here to see some of the guys warm up and practice, so this is a big plus for him."
The Beckhams love Andy Murray

- Charlie Sheen's big news for 2012? Nuffin, but thanks for askin'.
- The GOP will dither and futz until late in the primary season before choosing a Trump/Fred Thompson ticket. The grown-ups at the convention will nominate Willard, who will then lose by 6 in November.

- Big Fitz and Jauch are safe in their seats. Why use up the effort?
- On the 40th day after the Super Bowl Aaron Rodgers will ascend into Paradise, TX. Expect him back in DePere in July. Thoughts of Brett fade like the picture of McFly's Mom.

- Pompadour Paul Ryan will get his 19th consecutive Rising Young Star award after doing nothing but chatter for another two-year term. Just one more and he gets to be named to the Grizzled Crank Team.
- Some 15-year-old you never heard of will have a hit song you can't listen to from a movie that's incomprehensible to you and based on a book you wouldn't read in a million, jillion years. You might as well get used to this. It's gonna happen a lot.
- Even though the NBA season started way back on Christmas Day, the Bucks are not out of playoff contention until nearly Lincoln's Birthday.

- After losing his quixotic battle for a Senate leadership spot Ron "Senator" Johnson is assigned by Mitch McConnell to lead the new Senate Regional Office in Kansas City. Johnson will be in charge of laundry and morale during his four year term there.
- Bucky goes to the dance in March but falls maddeningly short.
- Stephanie Klett will continue to run the Tourism department in Madison without making any negative headlines. For this, the Walker team will have no gratitude at all.
