Pedestal/Calibrations Updates
- There were many pedestal and event cut problems. From now on, when an event cut isn't absolutely necessary it should be removed - see japan source code for reference of cuts here
- The BCM appears to be falling apart. We are fixing it and running slug 12 on BCM DG DS in the meantime.
- BPM 4ec had intermittant problems (iocse10 has issues) and so we are regressing with 4e again. BPM 11X is ok and stays in regression.

"Mathematical Modelling for Tsunami Early Warning Systems. An International Conference" is a joint activity of the University of Malaga (UMA), the Mathematics-Industry Spanish Network (MATH-IN) and the Spanish Society of Applied Mathematics (SEMA), under the framework of The International Year for the Earth Planet MPE 2013. More than 100 scientific societies, universities, research institutes and other research institutions from all over the world have agreed to launch the initiative of the MPE 2013, on the understanding that Mathematics have a fundamental role facing major challenges posed for our planet and our civilization.
One of these challenges is the early prediction of natural hazards, in order to minimize their sometimes catastrophic impacts, through effective plans for disaster prevention, evacuation and aid. Among these natural disasters feature prominently, for their destructive power, the tsunamis. The development of mathematical and technological tools for the early detection of these large tsunami waves and the numerical simulation of their devastating coastal effects in far shorter times (extremely much shorter) than the real time is, currently, an area of very active research.
The conference is aimed at bringing together scientists from around the world with expertise or interest in Tsunami Early Warning Systems (TEWS) but with special emphasis on the North-Eastern Atlantic, Mediterranean and connected seas region (NEAMTWS), in order to assess the current state of fast tsunami computation for rapid faster than real time forecasting. The scope includes not only mathematical modelling and numerical simulation of generation, propagation, and coastal amplification processes in the basis of a TEWS, but also monitoring, detection, operational forecasting, source inversion, educational policies, and information exchange, and warning issues, tsunami hazard assessment, and social science issues related to preparedness, training, insurance, and the development of structural and societal mitigation strategies and policies.

I recently collaborated with a group of Chamber members to develop a member recruitment brochure. And while I don't recommend design by committee as a method for getting things done quickly, it was an illuminating and rewarding experience. One of the components of the collateral we created, was to list the member benefits we offer that are most meaningful to our members. Our biggest challenge initially was in narrowing the list down to the number of benefits that could fit on the brochure.
One of the reasons it is challenging for me to answer the question of why people might want to join our organization is because every one of our members has their own reason(s) for participating. When we asked some members the question recently about why they are members, the answers were as varied as I expected, and also, more surprising than I anticipated. Whether it's our staff and board thinking about our organization or our self-awareness as human beings, we are mostly blind to our faults, and to our brilliance.
I have written about the power of testimonials before. They can be compelling stories that speak to potential clients, or in our case, members. I was reminded of that, after making the difficult request of members to provide them for us. We are not wired to ask others to speak positively of us. And yet, what we received was so genuinely and generously provided, that I am beyond glad I asked.
It can be an incredibly humbling, instructive experience to hear the unvarnished truth from someone whose intent it is to be both honest and kind. The truth can be the juice that sparks you to continue what you are already successfully doing and it can send you in new and potentially more fulfilling directions.
Give it a try. Find someone who has a useful frame of reference, whom you trust, to tell you the truth. Be prepared to hear that which might be difficult to hear. You might also receive surprising, wonderfully uplifting feedback that reaffirms your worth and the path you have chosen. Either will be a gift!
Denny Warner,
Executive Director

Of course, the landlords can choose their tenants. However, they do not have the right to base their choice on discriminatory criteria.
Tribunal administratif du logement (anciennement la Régie du logement)
- It has jurisdiction over all matters relating to a residential lease
- If you are still looking for apartment, so there is no lease. Therefore, the Tribunal administratif du logement has no jurisdiction.
- However, as soon as there is a formal offer made, the Tribunal is competent even if the offer has not been accepted
Direct discrimination
- The landlords cannot refuse to rent to a person because of his particular ethnic origin, gender, social status or age.
- Discrimination can lead to a compensation
- Judicial actions are filed with the Commission des droits de la personne et des droits de la jeunesse (CDPDJ). Although they do not provide housing, a winning cause can lead to punitive damages.
- It is the CDPDJ that takes over the case.
What you can do
- If you are interested in the apartment, announce it clearly. You can prove that you can afford to pay your rent regularly by providing your payed bills (Hydro-Québec, Bell, Vidéotron, etc.), as well as the receipts of your rents. You can also provide your old landlords' references.
Do you believe you might be victim of discrimination? How to file a complaint
- Ask for the name of the person you have spoken to for their reasoning behind of the refusal.
- Take down the address of the apartment, the phone number, the date and hour of your visit, as well as the cost of rent, the number of rooms, and the availability
- Bring a witness with you who can testify
- File the complaint to the Commission des droits de la personne et des droits de la jeunesse (CDPDJ).
- Do it as soon as possible.

Bonus Material
A bonus that is added to, but separate from, a particular work. The practice of adding such a bonus to one's work has been around for a long, long time: Charles Dickens, for example, was a regular practitioner of it, back when he wrote his stories for newspapers and magazines.
If this extra material is another story in the universe, it generally doesn't interact with the primary plot of the work, and is seen as "stand-alone" material. Some times that extra material isn't even considered canon, though such additions can add depth and insight to the primary characters if the writer makes an effort to connect the "extra" to the main material.
Other kinds of extras are "making of" featurettes, outtakes, deleted scenes, concept art, Feelies and others.
Nearly all types of media feature extras: artwork is popular for anime and manga, particularly holiday art (especially if the artists can draw the ladies in Sexy Santa Dresses); musicians regularly add "Hidden Tracks" to their records; television producers create extra scenes to be shown over the credits or as online-only "webisodes"; movie producers sometimes create whole new short films, just to add as an "extra" on the DVD, although nowadays Picture Dramas also often fulfill that role; and comic books often feature "backup stories" that are only a handful of pages long. DVD Collector's Editions often come with a reproduction of a prop or another similar bit of memorabilia.
"Omake" is the anime fanspeak term. "Lagniappe" is a Louisiana Creole word commonly used by chefs that means "a little something extra".
Print Bonus and Side-Story Bonus Art are Sub Tropes.
Anime and Manga
- Penguin Revolution ends each volume with an out-of-continuity short involving the characters - for example, at the end of a volume in which Ryo was injured shielding a producer, Yukari polls some of the other characters to find out if they would have done the same, getting humorous results from each. These shorts are then followed by an author's note in panel format - also usually humorous, but in one volume it is devoted to the recent death of the author's dog.
- Every volume of Fullmetal Alchemist comes with some truly side-splitting Yonkoma strips and assorted drawings by the author parodying the events of her own comic. For example, there's the ongoing drama of Roy Mustang in a 1970s Shoujo romance comic.
- She also includes occasional bonus chapters, many of which were adapted into the first anime, including Jean Havoc and Armstrong's little sister, Ed vs Roy in an alchemy battle, and Izumi's backstory.
- Some of the four panel strips were also adapted into the first anime including the rather well known line about a certain colonel and TINY MINI-SKIRTS.
- Hellsing has these at the end of most volumes. Generally they involve Super Deformed versions the Valentine brothers or Seras giving commentary on the series thus far.
- Blue Seed has a regular "Omake Theatre" segment after the end of every other episode. These range from goofball jokes and sketches to brief but poignant character pieces. (Particularly outstanding is the segment that reveals that pink-jumpsuited gun-nut Kome once had a schoolgirl crush on a boy who never noticed her—a boy who is now one of her coworkers, for whom she still feels a strong but hidden affection.)
- Magic Knight Rayearth has an "omake" option on the extras menus of its North American DVD release, but this writer's player steadfastly refuses to play them.
- Not to mention all the artwork, often showing them Super-Deformed or wearing Pimped Out Dresses.
- This is actually common among most CLAMP works.
- Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle and ×××HOLiC share an omake Alternate Universe called Horitsuba Gakuen. It was used both in the Drama CDs and in short extra comics.
- The Japanese DVD release of My-HiME includes a tongue-in-cheek "trailer" for an allegedly upcoming feature length film which pits the heroine of that show against the heroine of its successor, Mai-Otome; the end of the trailer promises its release in the Spring of 20006. Yes, twenty thousand and six.
- The show itself also provides one after every episode's Post Episode Trailer. Some are silly, some are serious, and at least one is a Tear Jerker, but the vast majority of them provide Fan Service.
- Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex features an omake after every episode involving conversations between the Tachikoma. These shorts are called Tachikomatic Days, and feature surreal humour.
- Bleach has "Shinigami Illustrated Picture Book" at the end of almost every episode after the beginning of the Soul Society arc. At first just information on the shinigami leaders, this soon became canon omake—generally humorous moments that had happened off-screen during the span of (or just after) the regular episode. Some of them are even animated adaptations of omake chapters written by Kubo Tite himself.
- Those segments have been dubbed in English as well, but they're only on the DVD's and are renamed "Illustrated Guide To Soul Reapers."
- There's also the Arrancar Encyclopedia, in which Gin tells us about the aspects of the Arrancar; and the Quincy Encyclopedia, where Ryuken discusses Quincy equipment, and other segments.
- Shakugan no Shana had as DVD specials two mini-episodes of "Shakugan no Shanatan" and one of "Itadaki no Hecatetan", featuring a pocket-sized version of the titular character that spoofed events in the main series.
- Ditto for A Certain Magical Index featuring Index-tan and shout outs to Shana and Toradora! J.C.Staff likes this sort of thing.
- Video Girl Ai featured an Omake Theater segment after nearly every episode.
- Gun X Sword has Gun X Sword-san, what amounts to a computer-generated hand-puppet show involving Wendy, Kameo (her pet turtle), and other characters as needed.
- Saiyuki Reload's UraSai segments are random bits of silliness at the end of each episode, meant to be more kid-friendly because the show originally aired right before Pokémon. They're worth it, if only for Goku's Magical Girl parody.
Sanzo: * firing his gun* What the hell are you doing?
- Nadia: The Secret of Blue Water has ten omakes that contain crack plots and supplementary information about the plot, the characters, and 20,000 Leagues under the Sea.
- There also exist fairly kitschy official Nadia Anime Music Videos, which were originally released on Nadia LCDs.
- The omake set is called Nadia's Omake Theater.
- Every episode of Cardcaptor Sakura ends with a "Leave it to Kero-chan" segment where Kero introduces Sakura's outfit of the week.
- Pokémon has "Professor Oak's Lecture", where the Professor talks about one species of Pokémon and usually ends up getting attacked by it.
- The DVDs of the full Sky Girls series contain comedic extras in which Eika tries her hand at fishing. No, really.
- Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha started its life as a mini-game that was included in the Triangle Heart 3 ~sweet songs forever~ fandisc which depicted the adventures of the main character's little sister as a Magical Girl.
- Naruto Shippuden has omake at the end of most episodes; they ranged from characters talking about the history of Konoha to downright silliness like Shikamaru and Asuma talking about changing the show's name to Shikamaru/Asuma Shippuden. The latter is particularly memorable when Naruto shows up indignantly in the end and is handed the script for future episodes, only to find that he's barely in any of them. (A subtle dig at the manga's and its titular character's lack of screentime for a long period.)
- Also to note is that the Shippuden Omakes have been dubbed into English, which doesn't happen that often.
- Though they're only on the DVDs; the Disney XD broadcast cuts them out (which is probably true for a lot of anime aired in countries with more commercial time per episode).
- Also to note is that the Shippuden Omakes have been dubbed into English, which doesn't happen that often.
- Played straight in both To Heart and To Heart: Remember My Memories, where six stand-alone omakes were made for each series. The To Heart omakes were more of slice of life themed, while the Remember My Memories omakes had a continuous plotline for the six omakes.
- An Early-Bird Cameo was featured in the sixth omake for To Heart: Remember My Memories with the appearance of Konomi Yuzuhara, the lead heroine in To Heart 2.
- D.Gray-man had super deformed versions of the characters acting out little omake at the end of later episodes. The characters were done in the style of the "talk pages" in between the chapters of the manga in the tankoubon.
- Gundam SEED has some hilarious omakes in its Gundam SEED Character Theater. This first involves Yzak Jule's hilarious attempts to take Athrun down a peg or three by learning and mastering Athrun's secret of success. The other two involve Rey Za Burrel, Meyrin and Lunamaria Hawke, and Shinn Asuka's attempts, on Gilbert "Gil" Durandal's orders to destroy the successful formation of Kira and Athrun's friendship, and destroy Lacus' reputation. Both attempts fail hilariously.
- Princess Princess is published with actual slipcovers. If you happen to take the slipcovers off, you find that there are omake printed on the covers of the books themselves. The mini comics are called "Prince Prince" and feature the main characters in an Alternate Universe as girls crossdressing as guys. (As opposed to the canon, where they are guys crossdressing as girls.)
- Third season episodes of Konjiki no Gash Bell would end with a gag section where they switched two characters' hairstyles.
- Darker than Black has two omake chapters in the manga (one in which the secondary protagonist discovers that Hei is on good terms with the cops, and another consisting of rather hilarious four-panel comics), and the OVA similarly spoofs the main series.
- Code Geass has quite a few. Some are serious (like Picture Dramas which fill in gaps in the backstory), but mostly they're comedic, like the Flash-animated and highly nonsensical Baba Theater included with the R2 DVDs. Even the Manga Spin Offs have been known to add the occasional omake pages, involving such characters as Lelouch, Clovis, and Bartley.
Young Clovis: You're the only one who understands me, Bartley.
- The picture drama associated with the last episode of Code Geass R2 actually extends the show's ending, showing what some might consider to be the true conclusion of the series.
- Fushigi Yuugi's Pioneer DVDs contain a lot of omake, including raw commercials, artwork, music clips, a relationship chart, interviews and footnotes. There's also a special omake known as "The Tale of the Forbidden Women's Hot Spring Resort", which parodies the Nyosei arc that the anime omitted.
- The second OVA had short, humorous segments after each "chapter" called "Fushigi Akugi" ("Bad Play"), which were generally three "bloopers" from scenes in that episode.
- Harukanaru Toki no Naka de - Hachiyou Shou has versions of the next episode previews narrated by villains on earlier DVDs (normally, these are narrated by the members of the central cast), and the last one contains the Multiple Endings for the series.
- There's a Yonkoma in between every chapter of Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann's Manga adaptation.
- The DVDs of Mariasama ga Miteru contain shorts with the characters in chibi-format, called Maria-sama ni wa Naisho ("Don't tell Maria-sama"), in which the makers poke mild fun at events in the series with the characters as Animated Actors.
- Higurashi no Naku Koro ni manga volumes tend to have at least two omakes. The anime also has omakes of their own. The sound novels have bonuses too.
- At the end of every Mirai Nikki volume, there is an Omake that explains certain things easy to miss in the main work, or reveals a little about other Future Diary holders.
- Rosario + Vampire has a few extra pages at the ends of volumes, usually a collection of 4-Komas. They go by the title "Meaningless End-of-Volume Theater." One notable strip has Nekonome-sensei reading a fan mail asking how the girls' Magic Pants work.
- Mayoi Neko Overrun has Mayoi Neko Neko Douga, 3 minute shorts that involve, in order, Nozomi dancing, Rock Paper Scissors matches, fanservice and surreal short sketches. Possibly the only thing weirder than the series itself.
- The pre-opening shorts in Oretachi ni Tsubasa wa Nai (We Without Wings) are not only out-of-continuity, they are out-of-genre.
- In the start of the Yu-Gi-Oh! manga volumes, Kazuki Takahashi would have a small paragraph explaining either how he got started on the story itself (he wanted a shounen hero who never hits anyone, hence games), how a certain character was conceived (Kaiba started from him overhearing an arrogant card player and Marik from a fear of having a cellphone meant his publishers would annoy him in his free time), or random observations as the story progressed (noting his Art Evolution from the first manga).
- Likewise in the GX manga, his student Naoyuki Kageyama would insert small Yonkomas about his life as a Mangaka student. (Like how he was thrust with doing the GX manga by a drunk Takahashi).
- Fairy Tail has these at the end of most volumes. Included are special missions, a dating misunderstanding, a tour of the local girls' dormitory while searching for treasure, a High School AU, Happy's backstory, and others. The latest one details Lucy's adventure in invading Natsu's house instead of the other way around for once. Several have already been incorporated into the anime, and two of these have been adapted into full-length OVAs.
- Black Lagoon is somewhat well-known for having hilarious omakes, which are different for the anime and manga. These range from having the Blood Knight partially Axe Crazy Revy turning into a Magical Girl who kills everyone because of Blue and Orange Morality, to a High School AU where the most hard-core criminals become students, teachers, and the faculty.
Comic Books
- Arguably, the Freaky Friday Flip story arc from Ultimate Spider-Man. In this story, Spider-Man and Wolverine switch bodies and try to live one day each other's lives. They barely last 3 hours. They are on the verge of beating the crap out of each other before Jean Grey steps in and sets things right. The issue starts with the author speaking directly to the audience, almost apologizing for the story. Having been accused of excessive padding in past story arcs, the author jokes that even he could not pad the story for more than two issues. The issue also pokes fun at some of the more mundane aspects of Spidey's powers which most people take for granted, especially Peter.
- The very first annual for The Amazing Spider-Man in 1964 had a humorous segment about how Stan Lee and Steve Ditko create a typical Spider-Man story.
- Detective Comics #347 had a rare after-story "what if" segment that showed what would have happened to Robin if the villain of the story had actually killed Batman. (This was in 1966. Who says Bats only got Darker and Edgier after the Adam West years?)
- During the 80's, several DC Comics titles would feature "backup stories" in the last five or six pages of each issue. Most notably, the Green Lantern series was backed up with Tales of the Green Lantern Corps, short one-shot stories that would feature the members of the Green Lantern corps who didn't interact with Earth all that often. All of these were canon, though, and now that the Green Lantern Corps have their own title, that character development is coming in handy. Oh, and that one story about how the Corps was going to die, written by Alan Moore? Turns out it was important...
- Star Wars Tales featured one-page strips in most issues starring editors Dave Land and Jeremy Barlow, numerous artists, writers and other personnel interacting with the characters. Featured responses to fan mail, Running Gags, Baby Darth Maul and the revelation that all of the strips are drawn by Jawas.
Fan Works
- Aeon Natum Engel has several Code: OMAKE chapters which are mostly crossovers with Nobody Dies. As of this writing, it ended with Creepy!Rei and Terrifying!Rei arguing with each other.
- Stars Above has some. Each of the Nine are fleshed out in Demon profiles, written in the style of the Madoka website's Witch Cards.
- The later installments of Neon Exodus Evangelion by Eyrie Productions, Unlimited are prone to "Bonus Theater" segments, which showcase short humorous pieces, bizarre Spin-Off ideas and lighter (often Fourth Wall-breaking) views "behind the scenes" of the production.
- The final chapter of Heir to the Empire by Ozzallos includes a complete copy of the original first concept of the story.
- Many of the chapters of the Harry Potter/Sailor Moon/Ranma ½ crossover fic The Girl Who Loved end with "non-canonical" scenes (explicitly labeled "Omake"), usually borderline Lemon in content. Interestingly, one such scene provided such significant Character Development to all involved that after it was released it was almost immediately promoted to being part of the actual plot of the story.
- It's pretty clear that First Girl Wins applies in the Sailor Moon fanfic Isekai by Moonlight. An April Fools' Day omake showed where the story would have diverged if it had been an Unwanted Harem crackfic instead.
- Pixar always throws extras in. In addition to their cartoon shorts, they usually add some supplementary material related to the main movie.
- A Bug's Life featured a blooper reel during the credits. On popular request, they added ones to Toy Story 2 and Monsters, Inc. as well; on the latter, this is also available as a separate, selectable short on the DVD because it's only included in the widescreen version of the film.
- The Ratatouille DVD has a short film featuring some fun facts about rats.
- The Incredibles featured a 1950s style cartoon featuring Mr. Incredible and his "sidekick".
- WALL-E had an entire second film for those who bought the 2-disc special edition, The Pixar Story
- The DVD of the first Ringu movie features Sadako's cursed video as an omake. After the end of the video, the screen blurs and a close-up of Sadako's creepy eye displays, which might also be a Nightmare Fuel to some.
- The American remake also included the cursed movie on the DVD, but with two extra Nightmare Fuel-inducing factors: first, you couldn't pause, stop, or fast-forward through it, forcing you to watch the whole thing (unless you turned the TV off.) Second, after it's finished and it returns to the menu -- it plays the sound of a phone ringing. Creepy as hell.
- The I Am Legend DVD has four cartoon shorts done in still-frame comic book style. The one by Orson Scott Card was scarier than the actual movie itself.
- FearNet.com broadcast a series of half-hour long films that were set in the same continuity as 30 Days of Night.
- Some films have connected online content that's so extensive it might as well be second films.
- Inglourious Basterds included the entire movie within a movie, Nation's Pride, directed by Eli Roth (aka Donny 'Bear Jew' Donowitz in the movie).
- Lord of the Rings. It is the mother of this trope. The Extended Editions included more hours of bonus material than the running time of the actual (pretty darn long) movies. Depending on which EE you bought, you also got a figurine and an additional bonus DVD.
- The DVD of Monty Python and the Holy Grail tacks on additional footage during the scene where Sir Galahad arrives to the castle Anthrax.
- The Chronicles of Riddick had special features that looked into the backstory of the character's life, his weapons and training; background information on the Necromonger cult; the video diaries of the bounty hunter Toombs, which serves as a sort of prequel to the film and a virtual guide to the universe with info on characters and settings.
- The DVD for the 2001 remake of 13 Ghosts includes a full set of biographical dossiers for the 12 ghosts used in the movie (narrated in Affably Evil fashion by good old Uncle Cyrus).
- Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets includes a post-credits scene which echoes the bookshop-window scene early in the movie; however, Professor Lockhart's book is replaced with another, bearing a different title and cover artwork, reflecting the events of the movie.
- Stephen King's short-story collection Night Shift includes two stories in the same continuity as 'Salem's Lot, one set a century before the events of the novel, and one a couple of years after.
- Every second chapter of Herman Melville's Moby Dick, or The White Whale is old-style Bonus Material; they have nothing to do with the story of Ahab and the Pequod—they are informative essays about whales, whaling, and whaling ships.
- The appendices in The Lord of the Rings. Which is somewhere around 10% the size of the rest of the trilogy put together.
- The Silmarillion also includes a "note on pronunciation", an "index of names" and "elements in Quenya and Sindarin" names. All are interesting, but the second one can be particularly useful when reading the book for the first time.
- As noted in the Trope Description, Charles Dickens regularly published his stories as serialized articles in newspapers and magazines. In addition to the primary story, he'd often include extra scenes, out-takes, where-are-they-now-style vignettes, and so on.
- Printed versions of East Asian webnovels tend to add extra chapters, usually backstory of fan favorite characters or, in the case of novels of the dammei genre printed outside continental China, the steamy sex scenes that cannot be published because of state censorship.
Live-Action TV
- Similar to The Ring example above, the Doctor Who season three boxed set contains a video that plays half a conversation (It's complicated) that took place in the episode Blink.
- We also have this out of Character moment (But no really) where we get to see what The Doctor really said to Martha during his video tape in "Human Nature".
- Black Orchid is like a whole episode of this.
- Friends was good at adding extra scenes that only had a peripheral connection to the primary plot of an episode over the end credits.
- Seinfeld did this a lot too.
- The number of television shows that offer "exclusive online content" on their network's websites is truly staggering. Common offerings include behind-the-scenes blogs; extended interviews with the actors, writers, or competitors; games; photo galleries; and unaired footage.
- Mockumentary-type shows like The Office and Parks and Recreation will have a short tag that relates to a B-plot, or a one-off gag in earlier in the show. For instance, if a small gag was someone complaining about their Dr Pepper being stolen out of the office fridge, expect to see whoever it was taking the Dr Pepper out of the fridge during the bonus material.
- The 2012 re-issue of the discography of the science-fiction Death Metal band Timeghoul had the CD contained a digipak that had exclusive artwork as a completely wrap-around cover and a booklet containing lyrics and background notes on the band.
Newspaper Comics
- Several of the Calvin and Hobbes collections.
- Newspaper comics, published in the Sunday edition, often are designed with an embedded, "thrown-away" panel or two, usually at the beginning. That is, the comics are designed to make sense even if the first panel or two are not printed. This is because some newspapers provide less space for the comics than do others. (Ironically they are now more likely to be included if the paper has less space, because the smallest full-width layout involves shrinking and rearranging the panels, leaving enough room for all of them.) In some cases the first couple of panels are a separate, but perhaps related, introductory gag and in other cases, the comic is so cleverly written that the elimination of the first two panels has no effect.
- This was eventually averted by Calvin and Hobbes. Later Sunday strips cannot be rearranged, at Bill Watterson's insistence.
Video Games
- Halo 2 and 3 both had Collectors Editions with some extra stuff, but Halo 3's Legendary edition came with even more and also had a model of Master Chief's helmet.
- The War Room tutorial segments in Advance Wars: Days of Ruin feature exaggerated, less-serious versions of the characters—including villains—who come to give you advice, and contain much of the game's humor. At one point the game lampshades it with the page quote.
- Another Day in The World Ends With You probably counts as an extended Omake with the characters cast in completely different roles with humorously tweaked personalities and even lets players meet some developer avatars, including character designer Tetsuya Nomura.
- It also has the rare distinction of being a canon version of an Omake-everything that happens in the Another Day chapter takes place in a parallel universe from the main game, and reading the Secret Reports will clue you in that one of the Joshuas and the Mr. Hanekoma on top of the rooftop are actually the versions from the regular universe, and that this is where Joshua spent his time in between getting blown away by Minamimoto and coming back for the ending!
- The Metal Gear Solid games generally do this in their expanded re-releases. Metal Gear Solid 3 was the most notable contributor, featuring a 'Secret Theatre' with movies such as the humorous Metal Gear Raiden shorts, dedicated to humiliating him, and the Snake vs. Monkey minigame, which featured Snake and...a monkey.
- MGS4's ginormous encyclopedia may have come close to toppling that though, at least in terms of effort put in by the contributors.
- This was released prior to Soul Calibur 4's Japanese release. In it, recurring character Cassandra explains the gameplay to new character Hilde.
- Inverted for Katawa Shoujo—it's a Visual Novel based on a one-page Omake from the Doujin Schuppen Harnische by RAITA
- Warhammer Online had a collectors edition filled with this. It had a map, comic, miniature, and artwork book.
- Infocom text adventures nearly always came with "feelies" such as matchbook covers, calendars, etc. that contained important hints, copyright protection info or both.
- Freddy Pharkas, Frontier Pharmacist came with a "medical manual" that doubled as copyright protection and the solution to several pharmaceutical-related puzzles.
- EarthBound comes with the official Player's Guide - which causes the box to be a lot larger than an average SNES game.
- The Suffering provides an entertaining little documentary on haunted prisons as a little extra you don't even have to unlock!
- Deadly Premonition gives you the entire damn soundtrack upon completion.
- The collector's edition of Alan Wake gives you a bonus making of DVD, the soundtrack and an proper hardback book all detailing bits of Bright Falls' history.
- The collector's editions of Gears of War 1, 2 and 3 all contained making-of DVD's and art books.
- The limited edition of Halo: Reach gave you a bulky black case in which was a note from the 'owner' and a diary filled to the brim with bits of paper, notes, drawings, maps and some kind of ID cards or somesuch, all contained within a black bubblewrap seal.
- The collector's edition of Oblivion came with a fold out map of Cyrodiil; a bonus DVD filled with concept art, early renders and a substantial making-of; a 112 page 'Pocket Guide to the Empire' and a reproduction of a Septim, the in-game currency.
- Skyrim comes with a very nice linen fold out map of the region, but the collector's edition comes with the Art of Skyrim, a map, a making of DVD and a statue of Alduin, the Big Bad.
Web Comics
- Goodwill Heroes has one of the main characters updating his Twitter account via his cell phone every time a new page is uploaded.
- Megatokyo ends each chapter with an omake featuring the protagonists as completely different from their Canon selves. The Chapter 4 omake Grand Theft Colo: Otaku City, for example, shows Makoto, an Anthropomorphic Personification of the main Megatokyo server owned by ColoGuys, stolen by a Largo that looks more like a 70's pimp; Piroko, Piro's gaming avatar, is an Elegant Gothic Lolita Action Girl, Kimiko is a gun-toting Yakuza, Piro is an Ax Crazy Otaku, Miho is a Wrench Wench Cute Witch, and Erika and Yuki are cops who run a shady auction business.
- Darths and Droids provides multiple alternate universe versions of the same characters playing different movie-based games.
- Also the intermissions.
- Errant Story has had two varieties of Omake, first a sequence called "Fun With Familiars" featuring familiars Ellis and Rape-kun back in the old high-school days, and later, "Errant Commentary" featuring characters Bani and Sara at the end of each chapter.
- Girl Genius is generous with bonus material within the comic, such as A parody of Mary Sue fanfic; "Personal Trainer"; The "Revenge of the Weasel Queen" storyline; one-page bonuses like the "Spark Roast Coffee" ad and "Santa Klaus"; "Fairy Tale Theatre Break: Cinderella"; a "Holiday Hilarity Break";
- There's also Free Stuff, like wallpapers, gift tages, downloadable gift tags, and bookplates available on the website, but not incorporated into the comic.
- Gunnerkrigg Court follows every chapter with a single bonus page. These may be (canon) short stories; description of (canon) background details by the secondary Narrator; or book-ending, symbolism-dense Treatise pages.
- Lackadaisy Cats has what are called "preview comics" which explain things like why Rocky has a hole in his ear and why Rocky refers to Calvin as "Freckle".
- Flipside has "Intermission" strips after each chapter.
- Coga Suro has a 'Coga Suro Review' at the end of the first chapter of Coga Suro 2, which looks to be a recurring feature. Appears to be heavily influenced by Lucky Star's 'Lucky Channel'.
- The El Goonish Shive: NP strips often serve this purpose. Sometimes forms short arcs. They are "not canon unless referred from it later".
- Sluggy Freelance whenever Pete Abrams wants to make the print volumes more appealing, encourage people to become registered "Defenders of the Nifty," celebrate a special occasion, or just provide some quick filler.
- A Loonatics Tale features exclusive stories, artwork, and creator commentary in the collection books.
- Nature of Nature's Art featured a primer on spiders as a companion to the third arc: a non-canonical, mostly humorous but educational super comic starring that story's protagonist, with a cameo appearance from the main characters from the second arc.
- Some The Fuzzy Five strip commentaries are excerpts from in-universe material. The first occurs at strip #6, with OMSU and U: A Prospective Student's Guide, Page 27
Web Original
- Yu-Gi-Oh the Abridged Series includes several videos not directly related to the actual abridgement, such as Christmas specials, bonus material of the villains' behind-the-scenes plotting, song parodies by the cast, an episode of Zorc and Pals, and more.
Western Animation
- Avatar: The Last Airbender has the chibi shorts that came with the second season DVD.
- One of the Futurama DVD sets gave us an episode of the Show Within a Show "Everybody Loves Hypnotoad". Hilarity ensues.
- An in-universe example is the Everybody Loves Hypnotoad DVD box set. As well as all 365 episodes, it has deleted scenes (identical to the rest of the show), a blooper reel (where the toad is shown upside down) and an audio commentary ("ALL GLORY TO THE HYPNOTOAD").
- The Venture Brothers Christmas Special falls in this category: it is rather shorter than a regular episode and appears divorced from continuity (even the parts which weren't All Just a Dream), as it features Hank and Dean even though they died in the previous episode.
- It's set between the last two episodes of the last season. Or in the first half of season two.
- The Walt Disney animation collection DVDs come with a lithograph.
- The second TMNT series was supplemented by various types of bonus material during its run, including several one-minute shorts and character profiles, as well as "Mayhem From Mutant Island", a series of thirteen shorts which combined to make a full-length episode.
- Teen Titans had a half-length "Lost Episode."
- The ending credits of Evil Con Carne and The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy during their final seasons had additional scenes from the show's episode.

Maryland Public Television would lose about $3 million under the budget cuts proposed by the Trump administration, the state network said.
That's the amount of MPT's grant from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting for fiscal year 2017 — roughly 9 percent of its budget. The preliminary budget proposal released by the Trump administration Thursday would eliminate the Corporation for Public Broadcasting and its $445 million budget.
"Losing CPB funding would strike a crippling blow to the station and have a profound impact on MPT productions and other services we deliver to citizens of Maryland and surrounding states," MPT President and CEO Larry Unger said in a statement emailed to The Baltimore Sun.
"A loss of this magnitude could also impact the entire public TV system. While CPB funding represents about nine percent of MPT's annual budget, some stations (particularly in rural areas) depend on their annual grant for 50 percent or more of their budget. Some of these stations may go dark, leaving their broadcast areas uncovered," he added.
Unger said public broadcasters will be fighting the cuts in Congress.
"Our industry — led by groups such as America's Public Television Stations and PBS — is mounting an aggressive campaign to convince Congress, where there is strong support for public TV from both parties, to continue the $445 million funding for public media," he wrote.

It's been over five months since I pretended I was Tana Hoban, the photographer who found math everywhere with her camera and turned the pictures into wonderful books for children. Since then our eyes have been WIDE open, finding math just about everywhere we look. The more math we see, the better we become at finding it; the more math we find, the better we are at understanding it.
As my six (now seven) year old and I traveled around town this spring we found lots of shapes and patterns, parallel and intersecting lines, even spirals. It's been your basic geometry kind of math, but we've had some incredible conversations about what we see and find.
Lately, though, our math eyes have become remarkably more advanced. For example, my daughter saw a tetrahedron in ropes staked into the ground, steadying a young tree. I started the spiral inquiry, but she's the one that started seeing them everywhere we went, even places we go to regularly. She still notices spirals all the time. Recently, she found math in the most prosaic of circumstances...a moment of recursion in the restroom mirrors (one on each wall) at a local grocery store. I guess math is everywhere!
As for me, my eyes have very recently been opened to stars. I would have never recognized this particular star for what it is without the last week of exploration and inquiry under my belt. There are actually at least four different kinds of stars in this picture.
And, here's an 8 star I also found today.
The stars and the rest of the photos are from our trip to the zoo and botanical gardens. My daughter found some flowers that had dropped to the ground and shouted over to me, "Mama, look! These have five petals! A Fibonacci number!"
These circles were near the carousel at the zoo. I love it! And, that reminds me that, although it was impossible to get a picture of it, the carousel platform was round on the outside, but actually created out of twelve trapezoidal sections leaving an interesting hole in the middle -- a dodecagon! Geez, I was really impressed with myself for seeing that one.
In the botanical gardens we found all sorts of curves in hidden places...
And some lovely limestone spirals...
I'm not sure what this is, but it has a Celtic-y knot-work quality. Maybe it's a frieze pattern?
I can't remember where I saw a picture of something like this or even what it's called, but it seems vaguely math-y to me. The gist of what I read was that there are some basic ways that wind or water create patterns like this on the surface of the earth. This particular pattern-ish design is carved, though.
Oh, and we can't forget symmetry. This one has both rotations and reflections.
I love the peaceful balance in this little fountain.
What kind of math have you found recently? Tweet a picture of it to me @mathinyourfeet if you want! Let's call the hashtag #foundmath. Can't wait to see what you find!

Microsoft Corp. Thursday said it is investigating claims that several new vulnerabilities have been found in Windows XP Service Pack 2 by security firm Finjan Software Inc. in San Jose, Calif. Finjan on Tuesday announced that it had found as many as 10 "serious" flaws in SP2.
According to Gil Arditi, Finjan's chief security officer, some of the vulnerabilities could be exploited by hackers to gain complete remote control of a system or to download malicious code to a compromised computer. Finjan has notified Microsoft of the vulnerabilities and has shared all relevant technical details with the company, Arditi said. Finjan has also developed a proof-of-concept exploit capable of taking advantage of the flaws, which it has shared with Microsoft.

Scanjet model SC 20A LP is a tank cleaning machine especially developed for cleaning silos, tanks in industrial applications and other applicable tanks. The size, construction and cleaning requirements of these tanks are design criteria for the tank cleaning machine, which have been evaluated prior to installation in your application.
SC 20A LP tank cleaning machine consists of a gun unit that is installed in the tank and an air driven drive unit. The cleaning procedure will start by opening the valve for the cleaning media and the valve for air supply to the drive unit. The drive unit will then rotate the bottom housing, also forcing the nozzle housing to rotate around its own axis because of the gear system. This creates a criss-cross cleaning pattern on the tank walls. When the cleaning procedure is finalized the valves are to be closed.

Frequently Asked Questions
Conquerors through Christ recommends Covenant Eyes' screen accountability software. Parental control content blockers are a good start, but Christian accountability is extremely important in every struggle too. Covenant Eyes helps provide enable that accountability.
Pornography objectifies people and creates unrealistic expectations for sex that are completely void of the intimacy God intends. Pornography can be very addictive. Pornography encourages the abuse of women. The harm of pornography on your child extends beyond a guilty conscience and a damaged understanding of God's design for sex. Pornography harms self-image and leads to lack of confidence and low self-worth.
Talk to your friend about it. Tell the person why you suspect he or she might be viewing porn and make it clear you are concerned and want to help. Tell the person that he or she is forgiven through Christ. Recommend this website. Offer to be an accountability partner. Offer to help the person find the right people that can help him or her (pastors, Christian counselors, etc). Pray for your friend often.
Do not minimize or rationalize the sin. (If the person is in denial, help him or her understand how serious the sin is.) On the other hand, do not condemn the person. Do not act as if the sin is unforgiveable or worse than all other sins that God detests (pride, selfishness, etc.).
If you mean fantasizing (dreaming) about engaging in sex with someone you're not married to, then those thoughts would dishonor marriage and God (Hebrews 13:4). This is not who God made you to be. God calls all people to believe in his Son as their Savior. When the Holy Spirit creates that saving faith in your heart, you become a temple of the Holy Spirit, which will compel you to honor God with their whole being—mind, soul and body. So yes, it is sin – but it is also a sin Jesus paid the price to forgive.
The distinction regarding pornography use – is it a sin or an addiction? …and if it is an addiction, is it a disease like appendicitis that we have no control over? – has been argued about for some time. The same arguement exists regarding alcohol use.
Pastor James Berger in John Cook's book, Conquerors Through Christ, answered the question regarding sin or disease regarding alcohol abuse/addiction by saying that alcohol abuse/addiction is both sin and disease. One does not become diseased with alcohol addiction without the sin of abusing alcohol in some way. He called the person addicted to alcohol a person caught in a sin. "Caught in a sin" is his key phrase.
An alcoholic does not become addicted to alcohol without bending the elbow to get the drink to his or her mouth. One does not become addicted to pornography without using it. If you search the Bible carefully you will note that drunkenness is the sin, not the glass of wine that we drink or the beer that we sip. Lust is the sin, not the nude picture or the act of intercourse between husband and wife. God gave us sex as a blessing. God gave us alcohol as a blessing. It is when we abuse either that we sin.
We abuse God's blessing of sex upon a man and a woman in marriage with lustful desires for anyone not our spouse. We abuse God's gift of sex with adultery and fornication. Matthew 5:27-28 "You have heard that it was said, 'Do not commit adultery.' But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart."
Addiction is the continual and habitual use of something that is sinful or the abuse of something that is given by God as a blessing in such a way that it becomes a powerful, controlling force in our lives. An addiction is something physiological in the brain that compels us to keep on doing that which we, as Christians, know is displeasing to God. When that happens the addiction rules our lives, not our God. We are caught in the sin of abusing the thing to which we are addicted.
According to some scientific studies, the brain activity and pleasure intensity is the same for both:
- The person sinning in lust as he or she views porn
- The person addicted to the pleasure provided by crack cocaine
It does not take long for the brain to crave the pleasure of crack cocaine or the pleasure of lust and porn use. When the brain begins to demand that it be pleasured, the pathways of the brain change. When this change happens, the addiction happens. The lust and the abuse come first. The sin is there with the lust and the abuse. The word, "addiction," describes being "caught in the sin." It is not only a sinful feeling and a spiritually sinful abuse of a blessing from God, it has also become a physical corruption in the brain.
An addicted person will always be an addict for his or her whole life. But when the addict stops the sin – the abuse and misuse of sex with lust or porn – then our God of love has blessed him or her again. No person caught in a sin gets set free without Christ. Jesus Christ is the power that is greater than any chains of sin or addiction. Repentance is being sorry for sin, trusting in God's forgiveness, and turning away from that sin. There are fruits to repentance. The cravings and the desire may still be there for the addicted person. But the continued misuse of God's blessings is no longer there. Sinful lust no longer controls the person, but is banished when it enters the mind. By God's grace in Christ there is forgiveness. A sanctified Christian life in recovery is being lived with the help of God.
In God there is victory! In our Triune God we are more than conquerors.

Here's a fun salad that's perfect for a quick meal on a hot summer night. A lime-tinged sesame dressing is tossed with ramen, spicy sausage, snow peas and carrots. A sprinkling of green onions and some peanuts add flavor and crunch.
The recipe calls for chopping the peanuts, but I didn't so my youngest nut-hating son could more easily pick them out. :)
Sesame Sausage Ramen Salad
3 packages (3 ounces each) shrimp ramen noodles
6 cups hot water
1 pound bulk spicy pork sausage
3/4 cup Asian toasted sesame salad dressing
6 sliced green onions, divided
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1/2 teaspoon grated lime peel
3 tablespoons lime juice
3 cups fresh snow peas, halved diagonally
1-1/2 cups julienned carrots
4 tablespoons chopped dry roasted peanuts, divided
1. Break ramen noodles into quarters and place in a large bowl. Reserve one seasoning packet and set others aside for another use. Cover noodles with hot water and let stand until softened, about 5 minutes. Drain well and return to bowl.
2. In a large skillet, cook and crumble sausage over medium heat until no longer pink. Drain.
3. Mix salad dressing, 1/2 cup green onions, cilantro, lime peel, lime juice and contents of reserved seasoning packet.
4. Add salad dressing mixture to the noodles. Toss with snow peas, carrots, 3 tablespoons peanuts and sausage. Sprinkle with the remaining green onions and peanuts.
Serves 8

Throw your cap in the air
Dance away every fear that you have
Breathe it out and take a risk
Let's go travel the world
Fall in love with the girl of your dreams"

Yes, there are IBM terminal emulators (our company has used them forever too). But it's still the peripheral/emulator accomodating the OS (i.e. the OS is inflexible).

anon, you have never had sexual relations.
anon, you said you "want" to have it with streamlined (?) women. you didn't say you actually had it. I stand my ground. you are still a virgin, and will most likely stay that way. do you make enough money to afford hookers?
Ah-h-h-h, touche BIFF-inator; I've sustained another deep cut from your rapier wit. Indeed, I fear, a fatal cleavage, BIFF-man. Alas, BIFF-orama, I an unarmed man in a battle of wits with someone of your caliber. I acknowledge defeat, and regrettably cede my point. You have demonstrated, beyond all shadow of a doubt, that Unix has a far superior UI, and so should remain as it is. On this day, let it be written that, for all of eternity, the most elegant and usable UI is the teletype. Woe is me BIFF-yTheVampireSlayer. Woe is me!

I think "BIFF" is right, anon. Renting some hookers would be a good idea.
Ah, i thought your point was, "AS/400 is better because it's easy and intuitive, even though getting stuff done may be slower and more plodding." That's the core of our disagreement -- if i believed that a seasoned AS/400 user could get things done as quickly and easily as a seasoned Unix user, i would agree with your other points as well.

I'm finding the comparison of a UNIX interface to a teletype to be something of a straw man. I don't think anyone uses a teletype any more. Even finding a green-screen terminal takes a little doing. Last I checked, we had lots of nice screen interaction, full screen editors, and even GUIs. Maybe I'm wrong, and those weren't GUI applications that I was using on my OpenBSD box. Maybe that copy of emacs was all an acid-induced Berkeley dream.

Here Are The 6 K-Pop Idols Representing The Fourth Generation Of K-Pop In A Special 2021 MAMAs Performance
Although December is known as an exciting month because of Christmas, it means something much more important for K-Pop fans: the annual Mnet Asian Music Awards (MAMA
2021 has been the year that fourth-generation groups have shined and cemented their dominance both in Korea, and it hasn't gone unnoticed. On December 10, it was announced that six fourth-generation idols will collaborate for a special opening stage at the upcoming award ceremony.
Here is a look at the idols who are taking part and why they prove that fourth-generation groups are as talented as ever.
1. Yeonjun – TXT
All of TXT is known as true all-rounders in K-Pop, and there is a reason none of the members have assigned roles. Yet, Yeonjun's reputation as the "4th generation It-Boy" and "Big Hit's Most Legendary Trainee" makes him the perfect choice for this epic collaboration.
When anyone asks to describe what Yeonjun is good at, the list is endless, from singing, rapping, dancing, and acting… he is the true K-Pop performer. With his out-of-this-world charisma and on-stage presence, he will no doubt cement why all his nicknames couldn't be more true.
2. Yeji – ITZY
ITZY are no doubt queens when they step on stage, and each member has their own unique skills that make them formidable idols. It would've been tough to pick a member, but Yeji was chosen, and it isn't surprising why. Since debuting, netizens and other artists have had nothing but praise for the idol.
As the group's leader, she is also a perfect all-rounder, being classed as the group's main dancer, lead vocalist, and sub rapper. After her outstanding Studio Choom performance, she grabs the attention of fans with her stage presence, talent, and dazzling visuals.
3. Hyunjin – Stray Kids
When Stray Kids debuted in 2018, they quickly cemented themselves as true fourth-generation leaders. Hyunjin also caught the attention of fans not just for his prince-like visuals but his dancing skills which are anything but ordinary.
Hyunjin has fluid control over every movement despite being so tall and makes each step seem effortless. Even though he is counted as the group's main dancer, Hyunjin's rapping and vocals are no joke either and mean that he is a truly versatile performer. He will no doubt bring Stray Kids' style to the performance.
4. Karina – aespa
Aespa's Karina has always been praised for her unique and doll-like visuals in K-Pop. However, it is easy to forget just how talented she really is and how much netizens admire her skills despite being so young.
Like Yeji, Karina is the group's leader but is also the main dancer, lead rapper, vocalist, and visual. It isn't surprising that Karina has been chosen for the collaboration with so much talent. There is no doubt that she will showcase her elegant style, raw talent, and undeniable charisma alongside the other idols.
5. Wooyoung – ATEEZ
Since debuting in 2018, ATEEZ has cemented its dominance amongst K-Pop groups with its global fame. Member Wooyoung has showcased just how much of an all-rounder he is with soft vocals but powerful dancing that even earned him Studio Choom's Artist of the Month.
Despite sometimes being overlooked, there is no denying that Wooyoung is one of the best and most diverse dancers able to show power but also elegance depending on the genre. He will definitely bring sexiness and charisma to the performance and is the perfect fit.
6. Heeseung – ENHYPEN
Although ENHYPEN only debuted in 2020, the members have already cemented themselves as strong forces in K-Pop with their talent. In particular, Heeseung has gained much attention from netizens for his talent that comes from years of training and experience.
Even though Heeseung is praised for his undeniable vocals, netizens have also pointed out just how much of an all-rounder he is. Not only can he sing, but he can rap and dance in a way that steals the attention of netizens. As the youngest idol in the performance, he will not let that faze him, and his talent will speak for itself.

Yesterday I posted about The Escape Plan, a 40 day participative plan to help you bust out of your rut.
The task in yesterday's post was to learn something new. The time limit was thirty minutes.
I loved that twist. Limiting the task to thirty minutes meant it was doable. It was a taste of something fun in a time frame that kept it from taking over the day. The limited time also meant there was no possibility to fall prey to the pressures of "perfecting the skill."
That got me thinking about how much potential there is to incorporate new experiences and new activities into our lives in small doses. If, rather than feeling the need to commit to a fixing a five course meal for twenty people, we give ourselves permission to just enjoy a bite sized morsel, the range of possibilities is enormous.
Think of it as The 30 Minute University. Go to it at least once a week. More often if you can. Learn to do something bite-sized and new.
Start out by making a list of things you think would be fun to experiment with. Limit it to things you can do (imperfectly!) in 30 minutes. On The Escape Plan, Kim played with tap dancing and Jason learned a magic trick. Maybe you could learn how to do origami with a dollar bill, or get some kid's paint and spend the time exploring how the colors combine. Finger painting is always a favorite, of course, but I'm probably just projecting there. ;-)
You might even want to schedule a regular slot in your calendar so you are sure to get it in.
Happy learning!

Upcoming EventsRCA in Healthcare
Dr. Eric Lim, Managing Director for Sologic Asia-Pacific, will be speaking about RCA in healthcare at the Hong Kong Hospital Authority Convention 2020 on 4 and 5 May 2020. Hong Kong Convention & Exhibition Centre'
Kepner-Tregoe, Inc. (www.kepner-tregoe.com) and Sologic, LLC have formed a partnership to offer Kepner-Tregoe problem solving techniques and Causelink® software. KT Problem Solving Analysis processes in combination with the Causelink browser-based software enhances visibility during issue resolution, maximizes use of data, and eases real-time access and reporting for problem solving. The partnership enhances use data, mapping and other tools and resources during problem solving, including access to existing solutions, emerging trends and more.
As organizations become more complex, work across multiple geographies, and operate within aggressive time frames, the simple logic of KT processes and Causelink software improves visibility and access to data, tools and other resources needed to accelerate problem solving.
"While KT has always empowered clients to solve tough problems, the addition of Causelink adds visibility and speed with web-based incident mapping, data and results access, and accelerated processes for virtual teams," said Christoph Goldenstern, KT's VP of Innovation and Service Excellence.
"We've always admired KT's holistic approach to problem-solving and we're proud that they've chosen Causelink to make their offerings even stronger," said Brian Hughes, Sologic's Senior Vice President and Co-Founder. "While our companies generally service different market segments, our processes are largely complementary making this a powerful partnership."
Kepner-Tregoe (KT), is a global company headquartered in Princeton NJ (USA), that provides consulting and training services to embed advanced problem-solving expertise in a wide range of industries. The KT process-based approach to finding root cause is used by IT service and support, in manufacturing operations and compliance, and in organizations in all industries that seek to decrease costs while improving reliability, quality and customer satisfaction.
Sologic, LLC, based in Midland MI (USA) provides root cause analysis training, investigation services, and software. The Sologic method is built on the principle that causal relationships exist for all events and can be graphically modeled by using evidence-based inputs and conditional logic. Causelink, Sologic's browser-based root cause analysis software, helps solve the toughest problems and gives leaders the power to continuously improve their organization.
By combining forces to bring Causelink to KT clients, the partnership puts client success front and center. Benefits include the ease of a consistent, web-based structure, decreased likelihood of recurring incidents based on easier access to data, and a bridge for people trained in other RCA methods. Organizations struggling to resolve complex or repeat issues, or who face challenges documenting corrective actions, can benefit from the software structure for KT processes. The approach has proven successful for difficult cross-functional issue resolution and to ease the implementation of accurate solutions.

Eastlink Trail
Project Name: Eastlink Trail
Location: Melbourne, Australia
Application: General Paving
EastLink is a tolled section of the M3 freeway linking a large area through the eastern and south eastern suburbs of Melbourne, Australia. It is a part of Melbourne's Metropolitan Ring Road project.
Around 35 kilometres of new pathway exists alongside EastLink giving people the chance to walk, run or cycle on a continuous journey between Hoddle Street and Carrum.
The EastLink Trail is a 3 m wide concrete path that links into Melbourne's extensive network of bicycle and pedestrian paths. The path has been designed to minimise the impact on the environment and sensitive vegetation. Featuring specially designed pedestrian bridges, extensive arts and landscaping features and with an investment of $26 million dollars the EastLink trail is arguably one of the finest bike paths in Victoria.
The Thiess John Holland joint venture chose structural macro synthetic fibres as the primary crack control reinforcement for large sections of the EastLink Trail.
- Eliminated the risk of corrosion
- Reduces carbon footprint by 70% vs traditional steel, improving the green rating of the project
- Decreased construction difficultly by removing the need to transport mesh to remote locations

|Ideas for Action : Save, Recycle and Do Not Pollute (IIRR, 1992, 146 p.)
|Conserving resources
What you will need
· a basket at least 35 cms deep and 35 cms in diameter
· a piece of cloth
· a needle
· thread
· scissors
· 1 sack of insulating material (very dry hay or grass, wood shavings or newspapers)
· cooking pan 30 cms in diameter with a well-fitting lid
· a flat stone approximately the same diameter as the pan
Measuring from the top, make a mark on the inside of the basket at 25 cms. Fill the basket of this line with the insulating material.
Place your pan in the center of the piece of cloth. Collect the corners of the cloth above the centre of pan, making a bag.
Place this bag containing the pan on top of the insulating material in the basket. Firmly pack more insulating material inside the basket, around the bag and up to the top of the basket.
Open out the bag and tuck the edges of the cloth down between the insulating material and the inside of the basket. Stitch the cloth to the top rim of the basket.
Make a cushion which is slightly larger than the lid of the pan, filling it with the same insulating material. This will be placed on top of the pan as extra insulation.
Turn the lid upside down and fill it with insulating material. Then cover it with a piece of cloth.
Tuck the edges of the cloth between the insulating material and the inside of the lid. Stitch the cloth all the way around, along the inside corner of the basket lid.,
Advantages of fireless cooking
· It produces tasty food that keeps its shape and colour.
· It is almost impossible to burn or overcook food as the temperature decreases gradually.
· It makes even tough meat quite tender.
· Food is more nutritious. As food only boils briefly, nutrients are not destroyed.
· It requires much less fuel; energy consumption is reduced by 3 to 20 times.
· It is safe for children as they cannot get burned.
· It is easy to use. It takes less of the cook's time: there is no fire to be watched.
· During hot weather, the kitchen stays cool.
· Food can be kept warm for a long time for family or friends who arrive late.
Advantages of fireless cooking
Using a haybasket cooker
Now, that we have made a haybasket cooker, let's look at how to use it. When a hot pan of food is placed on top of the hot stone inside the basket, all the heat is trapped inside. This heat will continue to cook the food and keep it hot.
1. Bring to a boil the food in a pot covered well with a lid. Let the food simmer for a short time. At the same time, get a flat stone very hot. Remember to use a stone approximately the same diameter as the pan.
2. Put the heated stone in the bottom of the haybasket. Position the covered pan of hot food on top of it.
3. Place the cushion, then the insulated lid on top of the pan and leave the food to cook slowly.
