I Heart Ocelot!
Deep within the South American jungles lies a senseless predatory killing machine and he's adorable! I was only about seven or eight years old when I first laid eyes on an ocelot so my memory could be a little hazy, but the above picture I just made encapsulates everything my feeble eight year old brain was capable of recollecting. To this day the creature looks like something ripped straight from a Japanese anime or Hello kitty store, but apparently the outside Hello Kitty demeanor masks a fierce inner core.
"He'll rip your face off," my friends say.
These friends continued in a conversation crushing every dream I ever had of obtaining one of these majestic creatures into a fine powdery dust.
"Those things are assholes," another friend says, exposing a visibly scarred forearm.
"Yeah, those things are jerks," his zoo pal agrees.
Normally I would concede to these professional zoologists, intimately entangled with these animals, but I had seen an ocelot get along fine with us humans. The ocelot in question was Babou and his owner was none other than famed artist and mustache aficionado Salvador Dali.
Note: the image is from the Library of Congress with unknown original author and is accessed here
Upon discovering this photo I had to assume ocelots were the friendly feral jungle cats I had always envisioned safely playing in the backyard with our daughter Adeline. It's also possible this picture was taken only seconds before Dali had his face mercilessly torn apart by the thing. Since I know Dali survived well into his eighties with facial features fully intact, I can only assume these are excellent pets to have around the house next to fragile newborn babies.
Now, with my family's safety secured it was time to prepare for our future pet, but before I could make preparations I needed to ensure preservation. According to the US Fish and Wildlife Service these animals are still endangered and as long as they are endangered, my future ocelot cattery is as well. America, and in particular Washington state, I implore you, save this animal so I can selfishly and legally keep them in my house as family pets. In case my post wasn't convincing enough, here's that last picture one more time.

Educated for the twentieth-century? 'Opportunity, Oppression and Obduracy':The Life of Emily Bonnycastle Mayne (AIMÉE) 1872-1958
This pivotal biography is of a woman whose background and life understanding of education, travel and aspirations will provide a model for illuminating the experiences of upper-middle-class English women who were born in the late nineteenth-century. Emily Bonnycastle [Aimée] (née Barnett) Mayne—the daughter from a late-Victorian family in England —was born in 1872. She studied at Bedford College London in 1892-94, completing part of her B.Sc. degree, but left to marry a member of the Indian Civil Service on the death of her father. She produced five children and, after nearly two decades in India, lived briefly in New Zealand, Canada and California, before retiring to Jersey and later to London. She lectured on a wide range of topics derived from her experiences abroad. She died in 1958.
The impact of tertiary education for women in late nineteenth century England has mainly been studied in relation to those women who completed a degree and entered the workforce. But not all women who gained or had exposure to tertiary education fell into that category. Many, like Aimée, did not complete a degree and did not necessarily regard a degree as having a vocational outcome. The life of such women, and the possible impact of their education on their life choices, has not been comprehensively studied. Hence I anticipate that Aimée's life-story will make an original contribution to the existing historiography on those women, who may not have pursued a vocation in the workforce, but whose lives bear the imprint of their exposure to tertiary education.

Big news today coming from the FIA regarding the Pirelli tire testing with Mercedes AMG. The test occurred in Barcelona between May 15th and 17th. Scuderia Ferrari are also under scrutiny for a joint Pirelli test which occurred in Barcelona on the 23rd and 24th of April. The FIA ruled that the Mercedes test "may constitute a breach of the applicable FIA rules" due to Mercedes' use of a current 2013 car in the test. Ferrari has been cleared of any blame due to their use of a 2011 car during the tire testing.
A new tire design will be implemented from the Canadian Grand Prix and on, but the big question is how will this affect the results from Monaco? The win and 4th position finish in the principality are points that Mercedes cannot afford to lose, but it seems obvious the advantages which Mercedes gained leading up to race weekend.
For the full press release, please visit the FIA's website.

What a whirlwind month!
Louise's schedule has kind of been all over the place, which is our fault, I know. I think it's just summer. We have a lot more going on, and getting her in bed by 8pm is just tough. It's slowly been moving later and later, although it will have to go back to normal since she's starting day care tomorrow.
DAY CARE. Augh! I'm excited for her and terrified at the same time. I know it will be good for her, and it will be great for us to have a stricter schedule. But she's…my baby. My little baby girl. It's going to be hard to just leave her there every day. Man – I think this is a glimpse of when we have to send her to school!
She still loves her cup of milk in the morning. I joke that it's like her coffee – she's groggy before it and peppy after. She is also eating more and more things. This month I tried out a few vegetable recipes and she really was only into the spaghetti squash (probably because it was slathered in pasta sauce). I didn't do a great job baking sweet potato fries but I was a little surprised she didn't go for those. I may try them again. I am also going to try something carrot-related, since she's always been a fan. We have no problem getting fruit in her diet – blueberries are her favorite treat – but need to work on the vegetable part. I think day care is going to be good for her diet, too.
Developmentally not much changed this month. (I think that's the first time I have ever said that!) She's getting much better at walking, to the point that we'll be chatting and realize she's motored into another room in about six seconds. We've focused on getting her comfortable wearing shoes so she's not the barefoot baby anymore. Her favorite shoes are a red pair Grammy bought for her and her pink Crocs. I never thought I'd buy a pair of Crocs but they're great for kids. I have my eye on a teal pair for her next. She hasn't really started saying a bunch of words, but we can tell she's understanding more. She also has started clowning around – she knows she can get a reaction from people so she'll make noises, throw her hands up, or peek at you from between her legs.
Looking forward to providing an update on day care. For now, we'll just enjoy our Sunday with the cutest girl this side of the Mississip'.

Barista ExchangeNing Network Spotlight
Every once in a while, I find myself drawn into a social network, fascinated by its members and content. And if you've never thought coffee could be mesmerizing, take a look at these photos from the branded slideshow on Barista Exchange:
I was amazed at the competition shots, impressed with the foam designs, and in the end, thirsting for a cappuccino, made by someone who knows coffee.
While my interest can partially be attributed to my stint as a cafe manager, there is no doubt that Barista Exchange is an interesting social network. There are videos from growing partners in Costa Rica, and latte art. Groups ranging from Roasters to Trainers. There is a podcast covering the evolution of the barista, and an article to download from Barista Magazine. This network truly approaches the coffee industry from every angle.

As the gaming community continues to grow, more and more of the community (while still a minority) seems to encompass Mac users. With the recent compatibility of Guild Wars 2 (beta) with Mac devices, it's a step forward for the so called "Mac gaming". I wouldn't recommend gaming on a Mac but at least it's becoming possible, many self-built PC's easily overpower any Mac out there.
The newest member of the "Mac gaming" family will be Borderlands 2, originally released in mid September, Gearbox has decided that it's time to expand the Borderlands world onto Mac platforms through the capable hands of Aspyr Media. They began by releasing the iOS game called Borderlands Legends, and now we'll have the full Borderlands 2 game become accessible.
"Aspyr prides itself on bringing the best in gaming to the Mac audience," said Ted Staloch, Vice President of Aspyr Media. "Borderlands 2 is definitely among the best. Most sequels have a hard time living up to the first, but Borderlands 2 manages to improve on every cool aspect of Borderlands, and still finds a way to wrap the player up in a new story with a new experience."
Come November 20th, Mac users will be able to purchase the game on Steam for $59.99. You can even opt to pre-order the game to gain access to Premiere Club bonuses that already exist on Xbox, PS3 and PC.

Length: 0.9km
Duration: 20 mins
Grade: 1
Style: Return
Start: Berri Werri Track, Belair
End: Berri Werri Track, Belair
Closest Town:
Location: Belair National Park
Distance from state capital: 18.6 km
State: SA
Latitude: -35.015944988
Longitude: 138.673671987
RSL Walk is a 0.9km, grade 1 Return hike located in Belair National Park South Australia. The hike should take approximately 20 mins to complete.
The short 950m return walk along the RSL Walk trail links two memorial plantations.
The trail begins at the remnants of the historic Japanese cherry plantation, which was planted from 1922 as a living memorial to World War I soldiers. The trail follows the spring fed creek that flows through Sparkes Gully, finishing at the avenue of sequoias planted in the 1960s.
The Japanese cherry plantation was planted in 1922 to commemorate the Allied Victory of World War I. Remnants of the trees can still be seen, and they are a reminder of the past those they honour.
The avenue of sequoias was planted in 1962 as a memorial to Australian and American forces who served in World War Two, and in Korea.
The trail is graded as an Easy Walk, suitable for people of all abilities. It may be suitable for more adventurous wheelchair access, as it is a consistent 1m wide, fine gravel, gentle slopes, a bridge and no steps. But there are a couple of inclines, and the trail may be muddy after rainfall, and during autumn tends to be covered with damp leaf matter.
The return walk is 950m, or 425m each way.
The trailhead can be accessed by the Cherry Plantation Road, which is a bitumen road. The carpark is at the point where a road gate closes the remainder of the road.
You can walk your dog on this trail provided it remains on a lead.

Our January dry streak continues with only slight variations on the theme of "cold & dry" — all week. Today we'll be mostly cloudy and there could be a morning flurry on the coast or some afternoon drizzle. But everyone else is dry again, and we'll top out about 10 degrees below normal, around 37 for Seattle. Overnight lows continue to be bitter — teens and 20s for some. Areas of ice, frost and freezing fog are a concern. We'll see more sunshine toward mid week, but it continues to be cold. At least one computer model has us warming up to the mid 40s over the weekend, while we stay dry. We'll have to wait and see.

+++ Date: 3928000/M37
+++ Ref: Ter/77124198/AGLF
+++ By: Under Scribe Escarriotte
+++ Re: Esperatian Uprising
+++ Thought: The steps of Mankind define His Will.
My Lords,
As you are aware, the information you requested pertaining to the Esperatian Uprising of M32 is, at best, fragmented. However, for the past three years your loyal scribe has worked with unswerving diligence in researching the event and I believe I can now put together a reasonable summation of the facts.
Preacher Sammiel was known to the Ecclesiarchy before the uprising, most notably for his dedication in raising militia to defend against an alien raid, probably of Eldar origin (Ref: Esp/18948914/TJBS). It seems that it was this force of Lay Followers that proved to be the pivotal point in the action as our forces were able to wear the raiders down in a battle of attrition.
What immediately followed the raid is less than clear, but it seems several of the militia failed to restrain the less pious side of their natures after the fighting had ceased and engaged in wanton acts of destruction. In accordance with our laws, they were duly sentenced and executed.
We do know that Preacher Sammiel was the man who, rather belatedly, brought these men to the attention of the Adeptus Arbites but it is apparent that many in the population were angered at the judgement of these deviants who they mistakenly saw as heroes of the war they had lived through. Rioting followed in several major cities that was put down in a most efficient manner by the Arbites. I have located records of commendation for many Proctors who distinguished themselves in these riots by leading lone squads against the huge mobs (Ref: ESP/22741901/PEM).
For reasons unknown, Preacher Sammiel opposed the rightful suppression of this rebellious activity. I can truthfully say that it was at this point that he broke faith in the divine Emperor, but I confess that I am at a loss to explain why.
'Corruption, immorality, Chaos. For millennia, nothing has changed.'
Attrib. Preacher Sammiel
Preacher Sammiel is then recorded as having engaged in a series of questionable activities. Using his not inconsiderable powers of oration, almost the entire populace was cited to rebellion and anarchy against the lawful rule of the Imperium. Illegal demonstrations erupted into riots and running battles with the Arbites across the entire planet as Preacher Sammiel moved from city to city, building up a cult following that was set to topple Imperial Governor Fallas. I have been unable to uncover any documentation as to why Fallas allowed this state of affairs to continue for so long. What is apparent is that the uprising swept aside the Arbites in a matter of days, aided by traitors highly placed within the Planetary Defence Force that gave many citizens access to sophisticated weaponry. There are no references to in-fighting within the Planetary Defence Force itself, though I cannot imagine that even a man so twisted as Preacher Sammiel could have swayed so many once loyal men. We have to presume that surprise was on the side of the rebellious and those true to the Emperor had little opportunity to act in true faith.
'We know who speaks for the Imperium. But who speaks for Mankind? Who speaks for us?'
Attrib. Preacher Sammiel
With the Arbites effectively neutralised, the mobs descended upon the Governor's palace. With a large portion of the Planetary Defence Force behind them, the Governor's own guards were annihilated and Fallas himself captured and publicly executed in plain sight of the raving people. This done, Preacher Sammiel declared himself ruler of Esperatia.
I have recovered one document describing Preacher Sammiel's rejection of the execution and an apparent reluctance to accept the Governorship. However, in light of his previous actions and his obvious hunger for power, not to mention that this document was related by one of his closest advisors, I believe we can safely discount such theories.
Due to the inherent vagaries of Warp travel, we were unable to react to the rebellion for nearly six years but finally an expedition was mounted to retake Esperatia. The 37th Daktarrian regiment, along with a full company of the Angels Vermilion, were dispatched to destroy the traitors' hold of the planet and restore the rightful ownership to the Imperium.
'We must resist this oppression with all our strength lest Mankind face another ten thousand years of enslavement to itself.'
Attrib. Preacher Sammiel
Upon landing on the planet, both Marine and Guard met with disorganised but heavy resistance as the populace quickly turned against them. The Emperor's Peace was generously given to each malcontent that took up arms against the liberators.
Preacher Sammiel seems to have attempted a muster of a more organised army and as the Imperial forces closed in on his position of power within the capitol, our casualties increased. In a sustained battle with the rebels, the Angels Vermilion managed to smash through all defences and succeeded in capturing Preacher Sammiel within the Governor's own palace, now a haven for the lowliest heathens of this world.
With the following execution of Preacher Sammiel, much of the resistance of the populace ceased, but Captain Tarvos of the Angels Vermilion judged the people of Esperatia to be irretrievably corrupt and justifiably ordered a permanent suppression of all suspected rebel activity.
'For thousands of years Mankind has impoverished itself in the pursuit of war. I am just one man in search of a better way.'
Attrib. Preacher Sammiel
Being required elsewhere, the Angels Vermilion departed (Ref: Ter/94219957/MEH) and it was left to the 37th Daktarrian to enforce Tarvos' edict. It took the regiment nearly two years to succeed in their righteous eradication of the population and on completion they were duly awarded the right to settle on the world, with Colonel Barria being granted the Governorship. It took a further seven centuries for Esperatia to achieve its past level of tithes, but the entire action does lend considerable weight to this method of suppressing rebellious systems.
I remain your humble servant,
Under Scribe Escarriotte

Vitamins May Reduce Heart Disease Antioxidants Fight Fatty Diet, Study Says
Wed., Nov. 26, 1997
It sounds like a recipe for a coronary: Serve Egg McMuffins and Sausage McMuffins for breakfast, with slabs of fried hash browns on the side, to captive research subjects. You can almost feel arteries slamming shut.
Yet when huge doses of vitamins C and E were added to the diet, an extraordinary thing happened: The subjects' arteries responded to the high-fat meal as though they'd eaten a low-fat bowl of corn flakes.
Researchers caution that the small study's finding is preliminary, but it appears to bolster scientific thinking that antioxidant vitamins can decrease the heart-disease risk posed by a fatty diet.
The 20 subjects who ate the fat-packed McDonald's breakfast had impaired blood vessel function for up to four hours afterwards. But no such impairment was found on another day when they swallowed 20 times the recommended daily dosage of vitamins C and E immediately before eating the same meal.
The research appears in today's Journal of the American Medical Association.
"The predominant mechanism by which a high-fat (especially saturated fat) diet leads to atherosclerosis is by elevating serum cholesterol," wrote the authors, led by Dr. Gary Plotnick, a professor of medicine at the University of Maryland Medical Center.
Their findings provide further evidence of a "second potential pathway" to hardened arteries in which dietary fats damage the endothelium, the inner layer of cells that line the heart and the blood vessels.
The study may help explain why people sometimes have heart attacks right after eating a big, fatty meal, and why some people with normal cholesterol levels develop heart problems, said Dr. Kenneth Cooper, author of "The Antioxidant Revolution" and founder of the Cooper Aerobics Center in Dallas.
"This is just further information that documents the beneficial effects of antioxidants," Cooper said.
Antioxidants, are thought to interact with some fats in a way that makes them clog arteries, and can produce cellular damage that sometimes leads to cancer.
Dr. Meir Stampfer, a professor of epidemiology and nutrition at Harvard's School of Public Health, called the study "a good piece of work and a nice step forward."
But, he added, "It was a small number of people and just one meal. We want to know what happens long term."

4th Sunday of Lent
Awake, O sleeper, and arise from the dead,
and Christ will give you light. Ephesians 5:14
Who can see reality better, a blind man who has faith, or a man who can see but has no faith? That is the question one has to address in today's Gospel account of Jesus curing a man in the temple who was born blind. Of all the miracles recorded in the Gospels, none is perhaps more extensively detailed than this one where Jesus cures a man born blind. Indeed, St. John devotes a relatively large amount of space in his Gospel to this one miracle and to the uproar that it causes, just as he did with the account of the Lord's encounter with the Samaritan woman at Jacob's well. The evangelist must have seen a great deal of importance in both these events to devote so much space to them, just as he devoted so much space to the Eucharistic discourse in his sixth Chapter. So, this miracle must have been extremely important to the thrust of his whole Gospel, and that fact invites us to take a deeper look at this miracle.
In this dramatic miracle, we are confronted with two kinds of blindness, one merely physical, and a second spiritual type which is a serious, self-inflicted, disease of the soul. The physical blindness is fully cured, but the other more serious blindness persists and is utterly fatal for those who do not fight it.
So, this particular miracle is quite illuminating for John, and hopefully for us, because it focuses attention on two major themes found in John's whole Gospel: firstly, the truth that Jesus is the light of the world; and, secondly, the truth that if one rejects His light, then what follows is an even more terrible blindness that leads to death, thus far worse than any mere physical blindness. It is deadly because this much more profound form of blindness leaves a man in his sins, and this puts him in grave danger of eternal separation from the light that is Christ.
In this connection, we should note that while Jesus could cure the man born physically blind by a miracle even without the man's consent, curing that more terrible form of blindness definitely cannot take place without such free consent. Thus, in the case of the temple priests and teachers, he really could not cure them without their consent, and that consent would have to signify that they truly have recognized their sins, have repented, and now freely seek the forgiveness that only Jesus can give them.
There are people today, and there have been such people from the time of Jesus, who would be happy to accept Jesus as simply a good person who taught some elevated moral doctrines, but they cannot bring themselves to accept the truth that he is in fact God, or perhaps that he even actually claimed to be God. For the open minded, the miracle in today's Gospel clearly points to his claim to divinity, as does Jesus' astounding statement that "while In am in the world, I am the light of the world."
Like the miracle itself, those words of Jesus must have astounded those who were present and heard them come from his lips. They must have astounded them as much or more than they astound us two thousand years later, these words so faithfully recorded for us by St. John. This kinds of claim could only have come from the lips of a mad man or from the true God-man. Just try to say those words seriously of yourself, "I am the light of the world," and see how they catch in your throat. Who could make such a claim without flinching except the Lord who created the world, The Lord who is truly therefore the "light from light," who first brought light into this world in the act of creation, and whose humanity is now the source of that same light.
It is precisely this kind of claim that divides men in every age following – one either believes it, or you have to consider the one who says these words as out of his mind, a madman, or worse, a the worst of blasphemers. There is no middle ground that remains in the face of such a claim! That is why Jesus says at the end of the Gospel, "I have come into the world to divide it, to make the sightless see, and the seeing blind." If one accepts Jesus' words, then one is given that spiritual light to see what man cannot see with his physical eyes, for as God said to Samuel, "not as man sees does God see." Only with the light of Christ, the light of faith, can anyone "see" the truth that Jesus is the Son of God, and "see" the truth of His Kingdom, and ultimately "see" the Father in Jesus.
On the other hand, if one rejects His words, and thus rejects His light, then one becomes profoundly, spiritually blind, incapable of seeing spiritual truth, incapable of repenting, incapable of salvation. There is no middle ground. Jesus says that He has come to divide mankind, and one must choose. You must either choose the light or choose the darkness. Christians have made that choice positively, and the result is as St. Paul says. "You were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord."
Light and darkness, seeing and blindness are major themes in St. John's Gospel, and they speak to us of the two paths open to us, one leading to light and salvation in God and the other leading away from God into the ultimate darkness of Satan. One response, faith, leads to spiritual in-sight, the deeper vision of faith, and ultimately to the beatific vision. The other response, if not reversed, leads to spiritual blindness, the total rejection of faith, and ultimately to the darkness of Hell.
The account of this miracle carefully portrays the twisted path of this spiritual blindness in the way the Pharisees cut themselves off from the gift of faith by resisting the truth of the miracle itself, simply because they have already pre-chosen not to reject Christ, and thus to refuse to come into the light of Christ. Jesus Himself initiates this sequence of events by correcting a mistaken religious notion adhered to by many Pharisees. They confirm that they hold and profess this notion later in the account when they actually accuse the man of being steeped in sin from his birth, suggesting that his blindness is in fact due to some sin of his parents, a punishment from God for their sin. This false idea had long ago been rejected by the prophets, especially by Ezekiel 18:20. And Jesus also denies this interpretation of God punishing anyone for the sins of his parents and simply says that for this man his blindness was nor a punishment but was an occasion to let God's mercy shine forth in this man, as well as his faith.
And indeed God's work does show forth in this poor blind man, not only in the mercy of the miracle, but in the faith this poor man manifests following the miracle. He not only publicly confesses his faith in Jesus – "He said, 'I do believe, Lord,' and he worshiped him." – but even before this newly cured man becomes a wonderful apologist for Christ, defending both the truth of the miracle and the goodness of the one who healed him in the face of the most serious kinds of pressures and threats from the pharisees. This poor, uneducated man simply refused to be intimidated by the status or learning of his adversaries. He stood his ground and refused to bend his mind to deny the truth. He argued with eloquence in defense of common sense itself, and when he was expelled bodily from the temple, he was found by Christ and received his reward.
It's important to note that Jesus sought him out and rewarded his fidelity to the natural light of truth by giving him the even greater light, the light of faith, the light that enabled him to bow down and worship the One who truly is the light of the world. With this double gift, he could now see not only physically, but with the eyes of the soul, whose light is faith, and this new vision would one day bring him to the light of glory, so long as he remained as faithful to it, as he had been faithful to the light of reason on that day in the temple.
Now contrast all that with the response of the Temple authorities. Their refusal of the light of Christ is already forseen in their attempt to deny the truth of this miracle. And this rejection of truth, on the natural level, results in a deeper blindness which is much more terrible than the physical handicap this poor man had been born with and from which he was cured by Jesus. Their blindness is both profoundly spiritual and willful, and it grows throughout this episode as they try to extinguish the light of truth on every level. They accuse Jesus of sin and this man of sin; they accuse the poor man of lying about his birth defect and the miracle; they threaten both him and his parents, and they end up bodily expelling this poor man from the temple. As a result, they become even more spiritually blind, completely shut off from the light, and as a result, as Jesus says, their sin remains. They are without excuse precisely because they claim to see when they are blind. Their fate is self-inflicted and ultimately tragic.
How often this same scenario will be repeated down through history when some simple believer heroically defends the truth against the learned and the clever. How often Christ is ridiculed in the person of the Church, the mystical Christ who continues to profess that Jesus is "the light of the world." How often today we hear the Church herself accused by learned "scribes" of being a sinner, a liar, a distorter of the truth; and yet her children, often her little ones, stand up to defend both Christ and the Bride of Christ. These little ones, like Mother Teresa, or Mother Angelica, or some humble parishioner stand fast with her great ones and defend her truth. And it has always been the same down through the ages, the humble are always the great defenders of the truth and the light, even while they are ridiculed and mocked by the world.
But like the blind man, the little ones of Holy Mother Church, whether of high office or no office, care more for the truth than for their very self, and so they stand their ground, until at last Christ seeks them out and rewards them for their fidelity to the light. It was of these "little ones" surely that Jesus was thinking when he spoke those beautiful words in Matthew's Gospel: "I give praise to you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, for although you have hidden these things from the wise and the learned, you have revealed them to the childlike."
If you and I remain faithful to that same light, in the midst of our very difficult world, then those beautiful words will be spoken of us someday, that is, if we are like the man born blind, who in his fidelity to the light of his natural mind, defended His God in the temple one day so very long ago, and was so very richly rewarded by His Lord.

HuniePop (2015) takes place in a small university town in an industrialized nation. The player plays X, a nameless, youthful if grizzled veteran of the international war on terror, now an operative of a nonspecific state agency charged with protecting national security at all costs. X suffered a mental breakdown after his (or her) last assignment. For now, he's been stationed at this town to sit tight while the agency decides what to do with him.
Calming his nerves at a local drinking establishment (or her nerves — the player chooses X's sex), X encounters handler Kyu Sugardust who is assessing him prior to training for a new assignment.
Kyu's specialty is social infiltration. She calls herself a love fairy. We see for the first time the toll exacted by the terror war on X: he perceives Kyu as a fairy in the literal sense.
A terror cell is believed to be connected to the local university. X and Kyu have been tasked with gathering enough intel to locate it and identify its members before the cell initiates another attack. As the cell contains high-ranking commanding officers who plan complex, coordinated attacks, secrecy is very tight. The cell will go to ground and vanish at any hint that it is being traced.
Furthermore, the town is the residence of clandestine relatives of high-order officials, and dynamic action could but them at physical risk. Therefore X must refrain from the more direct, brutal methods to which he's accustomed. This is a covert operation.
As time is short, Kyu provides X with brief training and then coaching as each new target presents herself. X acquires targets via contacts of previous targets. His objective, then, is to sufficiently trail and debrief each person without her awareness that this is any more than common social interaction. It means gaining the trust of each the women to the extent that they are willing to divulge their entire lives and most intimate of secrets.
Target. Not woman. Not person. Target or suspect. It is actually a relief to X that he doesn't have to kill anyone this time.
X's approach to each target is almost indistinguishable from lighthearted social exchange, but it's nothing short of cross-examination. Sometimes the target asks questions back. X has to provide the right answer. Not the truthful answer, but the the answer a good potential partner would give. X has to lie to prove he's trustworthy.*
Where charm and basic attraction are not enough, X is allotted a small budget to provide food and gifts. This is where intelligence gathering pays off in part, since each target has preferences for certain kinds of food and gifts which augment the interrogation process. With each question X gets experience which he can spend on skill points which enhance the more intimate interaction process, called dates.
Exactly what takes place on dates is only alluded to by backdrops of the venues, but from X's perspective, every date mechanically plays out the same. X disassociates enough from the actual exchange that he perceives it as an abstract tile matching game, playing romance, flirtation and sexuality as if they were draughts on a game board. From this interpretation, X has to score so many points with so many moves in order for the date to be successful. Targets become more positively responsive to X after successful dates. Also success of dates are the measure by which X's budget is determined for future encounters.
Eventually, through verification via sexual intimacy, X confirms that the target completely trusts X and that all that all she has revealed is true and complete to the best of her knowledge. When she is completely in love with X, he knows that he has everything she can give.
Then, with a target thoroughly debriefed, X can focus on other targets.
X's shadowy past, and his inability to reconcile what has transpired is never revealed in HuniePop, but X's paranoia and uncertainty unfold as he resorts to further dehumanization of his later targets, seeing them instead as extraterrestrial, as anthropomorphic animals or even as agents of the divine. X even turns on his own handler Kyu, tracking and seducing her as if she was connected to this ever elusive terror cell. By the end of the ordeal, even she submits to his meticulous, calculated methods. Even Kyu loves X to an extent he can never reciprocate.
It's a sobering afterthought that X never gets close to the terror cell. He never learns if lives were saved by the intel he gathers. There are even times it's certain X doubts this terror cell exists at all.
Conspicuously absent, though, is any guilt of his deceptions. X's mission concludes without debriefing. The agency remains silent. Exactly what was or wasn't accomplished is beyond X's need to know. Instead X is left to consider the twelve broken hearts in its wake. Thirteen if he includes his own.
At least no-one had to die this time.
Postscript Some people didn't understand the complete context of this review, which is better understood after glancing at the game. Wikipedia explains it pretty well.
Maybe at some point I'll have to provide a more proper critique than this one.
* My own failures early in my playthrough came from choosing the least untruthful answer from the multiple-choice options, which put in sharp relief that X is not trying to get a girlfriend, but to seduce someone as a means of extracting and validating data. That X must lie to and betray innocent people is a small price to pay to preserve national security.

The State Department of the United States of America has recognised that a number of rules set forth in the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) Study on Customary International Humanitarian Law[1] have achieved customary international law status. Nevertheless, the United States expressed doubts about the methodology used to determine that certain rules, argued to be insufficiently grounded in fact and evidence, and that lead to the country's rejection of the Study. Specifically, the United States expressed concern in relation to the customary status of the Geneva Conventions and Protocols, and questioned that customary humanitarian law can be applied to both international and non-international armed conflicts.
In the view of the United States, the Study incorrectly declared rules to have customary law status, since the State practice analysed is insufficiently dense to meet the 'extensive and virtually uniform' standard required. In their opinion, the Study placed too much emphasis on materials, such as military manuals and other published guidelines, and also extensively relies on non-binding and 'consensus-based' resolutions of the General Assembly and other international actors. All in all, the United States affirmed that the Study does not pay due regard to the practice of 'specially affected' States, tending to regard as equivalent the practice of States without distinction of history, experience, and 'greater quantity and quality of practice'. Furthermore, the US is critical of the opinio juris being analysed together with practice, as an act that reflects 'both practice and legal conviction', and not demonstrating 'separately' the existence of opinio juris. Specifically, the US found debatable the rules for the protection of humanitarian relief personnel, the damages prohibitions, and right to establish universal jurisdiction.[2]
It is commonly observed that Article 38 of the Statute of the International Court of Justice (ICJ) contains the injunction that the Court determines customary law based on "evidence of a general practice accepted as law".[3] Practice by itself is not evidence of the existence of custom, and thus the norm must be "accepted as law".[4]
According to the jurisprudence of the ICJ new norms require both practice and opinio juris before they can be regarded as representing customary international law. In the North Sea Continental Shelf case, the ICJ also considered the 'psychological' requirement of opinio juris to include "the consciousness of conforming to a rule, that if the acts of practice are to be attributed to a motive other than such consciousness, they cannot show opinio juris".[5] Since the opinio juris is a state of mind, it is problematic to ascertain in the case of a State. However, opinio juris can be deduced from the State's pronouncements and actions that are taken through its officials, in particular those actions to constitute the 'practice' element of customary international law. In consequence, State practice and opinio juris are to be set together, not separately. In the Nicaragua case, the Court declared not to consider that, for a rule to be established as customary law, the corresponding practice must be in absolute rigorous conformity with the rule. The Court deemed as sufficient that the conduct of States should in general be consistent with such rules, and that instances of State conduct inconsistent with a given rule should generally be treated as breaches of that rule, not as indications of the recognition of a new rule.[6] Similarly, the ICJ decided in North Sea case that treaty provisions have passed into acceptance of opinio juris and thus are binding to all States, even those which have never become parties to the Convention. A process that is defined as 'perfectly possible', and "even without the passage of any considerable period of time".[7]
It is in principle possible for a State not to accept a rule which is in the process of becoming standard international practice. In clear and coherent opposition States are able to exempt themselves from the rule in formation when it does become rule of law. This is generally called 'persistent objector' status. Thus, the problem of the persistent objector remains open alongside rules of special customary law. Special customary law is a customary norm that only applies between a limited number of States, as the ICJ found in the Right of Passage over Indian Territory case.[8] One relevant instance of the persistent objector was identified in the reasoning of the Asylum case. Peru had the status of persistent objector.[9] This same notion identified in the former case is traced back to the Fisheries case between the United Kingdom and Norway, where the ICJ defined persistent objection as "always opposed to any attempt to apply it to their jurisdiction".[10] If a single State does not claim to be a persistent objector, and entitled to rely on rules different from those generally in force, such a claim could only be maintained as the result of a general clear coherent action by that State.
The suggestion of the United States as a persistent objector by reason of its objection to the norms identified by the ICRC Study, and therefore not necessarily bound by such rules, can neither rest on the assertion of a special custom nor a persistent objection.
The ICRC Study was initiated in December 1995, by the 26th International Conference of the Red Cross, with the purpose of providing uniform regulations for armed conflict. The first volume of the Study is divided into five parts. The first part contains a discussion of the principles of distinction and proportionality. The second part is a declaration of the protected persons and objects. The third part discusses permitted and prohibited methods of warfare. The fourth part relates to the use of weapons, and the last part concerns the treatment of civilians and personnes hors de combat. There is a section on Implementation that concludes the volume and concerns compliance, enforcement, responsibility and reparation. The second volume is divided into two parts, and gathers the evidence and sources for the previous part. It includes treaties and other relevant instruments, military manuals, legislation, case-law, practice of international organizations and international judicial bodies, together with the practice of the ICRC.
The Study sets out that rules, and the limits they impose, should be equally applicable in international and non-international armed conflicts by providing extensive evidence of the application of customary international rules in these contexts. In the view of the ICRC, States assumed this premise in 1949 with the adoption of common Article 3 of the Geneva Contentions, which was recognized through subsequent State practice in both international and non-international armed conflicts.[11]
The Study defines as State practice the "physical and verbal acts of States"[12]. It considers that the combined effect of what States say and what they actually do to be regarded as 'operational practice'. The Study sets out that national legislation is State practice, which is relevant in the formation of international customary law. Evidence of customary law can be obtained from numerous sources, including administrative acts, legislations, court's decisions, and activities on the international stage, for instance treaty-making. A State is composed by governmental departments and representatives that testify their engagement through records, such as memories and opinions, publications and manuals. National legislation is also relevant to repress war crimes and grave breaches of humanitarian law, as well as for the practice of universal jurisdiction. Similarly, the Study determines that military manuals are a rich source that cover a wide range of premises, and which are part of the internal legal rules of armed forces. They enforce a particular behaviour in specific situations of armed conflict. General orders and instructions usually emanate from a commander-in-chief, or from the commander of a relevant section. They do not necessarily reflect what States have actually done, but rather what States intend to do. A military manual may represent numerous precedents and therefore a substantial practice, reflected in the cases of the United Kingdom, Germany and United States. The Study contains a representative list of 52 military manuals from all parts of the world. Most of them were published between 1990 and 1995 as a result of the joint campaign launched by the United Nations and the ICRC to promote national implementation of international humanitarian law. Promulgating a military manual means that a State makes a contribution to shape international customary law.
The Study affirms that decisions of international courts are subsidiary sources of international law. They do not constitute State practice, nevertheless it stresses that a finding by an international court that a rule of customary international law exists institutes persuasive evidence to that effect, and influences the subsequent practice of States and international organizations. The Study also makes extensive use of the jurisprudence of the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) and the International Criminal Court (ICC) Statutes. Throughout the travaux preparatoires, it is clear that the intention behind the drafting of the Statutes was to stay within the framework of customary law. For instance, the ICTY Trial Chamber in Furundzija declared that "in many areas the Statute may be regarded as indicative of the legal views, i.e., opinio juris of a great number of States".[13] Similarly, in Tadic the 'grave breaches' of the Geneva Conventions are also central, as is their application to non-international armed conflict.[14] Consequently, in the drafting of the Rome Statute there was general agreement that the definitions of crimes in the jurisdiction of the ICC were to reflect existing customary international law.[15]
The United Nations Secretary-General report on the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda gave an account of the appraisal of its customary status, with the drafting assistance of the United States and New Zealand. However, resolutions of the General Assembly, as in the present case, often entail disputes concerning their binding capacity, and a negative answer is regarded by some as synonym of irrelevance. In the General Assembly, despite its lack of legislative authority, the recommendations issued are often applied with significant relevance as exemplified in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. This matter of capacity was also addressed by the ICJ in the Namibia case, and it was found that the General Assembly resolutions, while manifestly not binding, where "not without legal effect"[16] given the existence of a right to terminate and monitor the mandate. The Court defined the recommendatory powers of the General Assembly as determinations with an operative design, in interpretation of the Charter of the United Nations, and as applicable as to their function. The ICJ defined this repeated practice in interpreting the treaty as establishing practice, that if the treaty concerns matters of international law, it can ultimately "harden into custom".[17] Nonetheless, it is also recognized that General Assembly resolutions cannot be a 'substitute' for ascertaining custom. A source of definition before such conflicts can be the analysis of the subject-matter of the resolution in question, their binding or recommendatory nature, the majorities supporting the adoption, and the repeated practice in relation to them as evidence of opinio juris. For this purpose, a list containing the voting records of all cited General Assembly resolutions was included in the Study.[18]
ICRC statements are enclosed to the Study because of the international legal personality that the Committee enjoys. As seen in the 1965 Vienna 20th International Conference, with the adoption of Resolution XXVIII, which declared numerous common provisions as to those of the Study, it was soon reaffirmed by the General Assembly Resolution 2444. These principles have since been recognised as belonging to customary law. Nevertheless, these statements of the ICRC in the Study are never primary sources of evidence supporting customary law. NGOs statements are included in the second volume under 'other practice', and as a residual category without any influence in the determinations of custom. Thus, the relevant practice is the one cited in each rule.[19]
Concerning the United States of America, reports and statements are analysed with respect to targeting decisions in the Korean, Vietnam and the Gulf War. Operational practice is also connected to military operations. Concerning the Protocols, the US is party to the second although not the first, and Amended Protocol II to the Convention on Certain Conventional Weapons, which contains a number of rules identical to the first non-ratified Protocol, and thus the US has supported the principle of distinction and proportionality that applies to international and non-international armed conflicts by signing this treaty and through its support to the work of the ad hoc international criminal tribunals.
Since the Geneva Conventions and Protocols, the ICRC Study represents the most notable achievement in humanitarian law. The United States reticence on the legal effects of the Study is blueprinted by their practise and policies, which are a result of their current preoccupations. The wars that are analysed in the ICRC Study that define the opinio juris and state practise of the United States of America are evidence of an extremely different period and geo-interests. In Korea or Vietnam there were no asymmetric challenges that would press the 'drone' priorities. The Cold War was based on a deterrence that is contrary to the current need for justifying 'surgical' operations in failed or rogue states. The difference of the contexts is specially manifested considering the Advisory Opinion on the Legality of the Threat of Nuclear Weapons, which is the one and only application possible to the role of the persistent objector, contrary to what the United States of America claim. The framework imposed by international law is based on a matter of 'intentionality' and 'crystallisation' on behalf of the 'virtual' majority of states that defines the binding capacity of the unwritten rules of customary law. In this respect if the rules are evident enough, there should be not a need for their compilation. On the other hand, perhaps for a compilation of customary law in the next century the US opinion can be compiled as evidence, since custom, by definition, is the law 'as it's been', and not 'the law that is to be'.[20]
