The Characters:
Ash - Our legendary demon-slaying, lady-killing, chainsaw-wielding, S-Mart employee. Oh, and he also accidentally invented breakdancing by slipping on milk curd.
Sheila - She knows that the best way to catch a man's eye is to slap the snot out of him. She also knows that the best way to keep a man is to bear him male children, and not to have syphilis.
Arthur - Noble born leader of the blighted lands, a real goody-goody two-shoes.
Wiseman - One of the worst things about the dark ages is that the world was filled with all sorts of evil spirits, fantastic monsters, and eldritch magic. The Wiseman's job was to know the weakness of every possible supernatural peril. "Silver weapons, running water, garlic, a charm made from the toe of a saint" - those sorts of things. Everybody else knew that the old freaks were just making it up as they went along, but nobody cared, so long as the wards worked.
Duke Henry - Red haired and bearded leader of the northern kingdoms.
Bad Ash - Created after Ash swallows a tiny version of himself, then grows two heads, then splits into two people...oh forget it, he's an evil and rotting version of Ash. Turned into a firework.
Little Ash's - These miniature menaces terrorize Ash for a while. Some get stomped, one gets eaten.
The Army of the Dead - Hundreds of skeletons that are chopped to bits, blown apart, or crushed.
The Plot:
The beginning of "Army of Darkness" makes a slight adjustment to the end of
Evil Dead 2
. Originally, Ash is sucked through the wormhole, gets dumped out somewhere in time south of the Renaissance, blasts a flying Deadite, and is immediately worshipped as a delivering saint by a group of medieval warriors. Here we have Ash mistaken as part of Duke Henry's army, the force that Lord Arthur has just routed from the field of battle. Poor Ash finds himself a prisoner of Lord Arthur, locked in a stock and told to schlep it along.
Back in those days there were not any federally-funded maximum security prisons. Heck, there were not even any small continents or large islands so that a country of Queen-loving citizens could banish their criminals (and the criminals' children, and their children, and so on) to lifelong incarceration upon the too-big-for-an-island / sort-of-small-to-be-a-continent. Lord Arthur's solution to this conundrum is that the last of Duke Henry's men are to be tossed into the Pit. Inside the Pit are Deadites. Obviously, Ash does not want to go into the Pit, but that is exactly where he gets pushed. Things look really bad for our hero, but the Wiseman tosses Ash his chainsaw as a Deadite closes in for the kill. Armed with his trusty chainsaw, Ash is more than a match for any demon. The Deadite quickly becomes just plain old dead.
After he climbs out of the pit, Ash recovers his sawed-off double-barreled shotgun, and then berates the unwashed masses of medieval citizenry (nobles, serfs, and vassals). The good Lord Arthur finds it difficult to say no to a man who carries a boomstick and who eats soul-eating Deadites for lunch. The nobleman can only glare as Ash takes up residence in the central keep, and sets about enjoying the service of the serving wenches. Even a surprise visit by a Deadite hag just further cements Ash in place as a royal thorn in Arthur's royal side.
For his part, Ash effectively tells Arthur and the Wiseman that they can have the Middle Ages. All that Ash wants to do is go home. He does take a break from yearning for 1992 long enough to construct a mechanical iron hand to replace the one he lost in "Evil Dead 2." He also puts aside his animosity towards Sheila (they had a rough start) and starts making it with the "Doth do maketh my heart warm with thy presence" sort of stuff.
I am not sure why Ash insists on returning to the present. Maybe he wants to avoid cholera, syphilis, and the Black Plague, but he will be doing that at the expense of a lot of quality time that could be spent eating grapes and wenching. Ah, wenching. Out of everything the Middle Ages stood for, I miss wenching the most. If you ever make it to 784 AD, make sure that you sample the wenches.
The Wiseman finally convinces Ash that the only way he can ever get back home is by undertaking a quest to recover the Necromonicon from a haunted graveyard. Now, Ash is an extremely groovy kind of guy, but he has a hard enough time staying out of Deadite-spawned trouble in his own living room. Mucking around in the land of the dead is going to have serious consequences. The first of those is that Ash gets chased around the haunted forest that is near the haunted graveyard by invisible motorcycles. The second issue created by Ash's foray into the world of spirits, spells, and specters takes place inside an old windmill. A shattered mirror turns into a mob of tiny troublemaking Ash clones! They poke him with forks, drop things on his head, and generally make Ash wish that he had never had children of any sort. Once he gets the little hellions under control, Ash then has to deal with his alternate Deadite ego, Bad Ash.
One boomstick later, there is only one Ash standing. He is a bad-a**, but not Bad Ash.
Ash does finally reach the graveyard and recover the book (after dealing with two cursed imitation tomes). However, he does not correctly take possession of the Book of the Dead. Yep, Ash flubs "klaatu barada nikto." As a result, the dead are woken from their endless sleep. Hundreds of skeletons assemble themselves into a massive army, with Bad Ash assuming command as the undead horde's general. Now Lord Arthur has something worse than the proto-Scots and Deadite intrusions to deal with. Social Security was not created until the 20th Century; figuring out what to do about hundreds of the walking dead who refuse to stay in their graves is a big problem for a medieval noble.
Actually, Arthur and Ash decide to solve the problem the way that most problems were solved during the Middle Ages: they will have a battle!
To prepare for the battle, Ash and the other defenders of Arthur's castle turn to the textbooks that were in the trunk of Ash's car (the vehicle was also sucked back in time). I must say, Ash pursued some unusual subjects in college. How often does someone get to say, "That semester of 'Steam Power 101' really paid off!" in their life? Unfortunately, the hero has to make his preparations for Ragnarok without indulging in the time-honored tradition of pre-battle nookie, because Sheila is whisked away by a Deadite gargoyle. The next time that Ash sees his gentle lady, she is a Deadite witch and a real ball-breaker.
The Army of Darkness that attacks the castle finds itself on the receiving end of exploding arrows, catapult-lobbed bombs, and even a car that looks like the result of an Oldsmobile having sex with a windmill. Bones are crushed by the human defenders, but the walls are eventually breached, and Ash has a final skin-shedding reckoning with Bad Ash. The evil army is routed, and the only thing left for Ash to do is to go home to his own time. There are two different endings to this movie. In one, we see Ash back at S-Mart, defending the customers and employees from a surprise Deadite incursion. In the other, Ash hits the Rip Van Winkle bottle a little too much and sleeps well past doomsday.
I like "Evil Dead 2" more than "Army of Darkness." Yet, this is an entertaining cult film. You could even call it a gruesomely groovy comedy. The movie is filled with Three Stooges-style slapstick, and the head-bangs and eye-pokes are so well done that I get nostalgic to watch some old Stooges' shorts. Still, the reason that everybody loves Ash is that he has some great lines, the likes of which haven't been seen since the Stallone and Schwarzenegger action films of the 1980s, and he delivers them with style.
Things I Learned From This Movie:
In ye olde days "public transportation" meant being chained to the nobleman's horse and dragged along behind him.
Knights often fall for the old "your shoelace is untied" trick.
Department store employees know how to construct robotic limbs.
The difference between an ear and a pancake is academic.
Stonehenge was a public library.
Never mumble the magic words.
Jay Leno's chin is the product of an unfortunate childhood accident involving a vacuum.
No ex-girlfriend is worth wrecking your car over.
When wrestling a skeleton, always remember that they are vulnerable to the backbreaker.
Stuff To Watch For:
5 mins - You know, "The Gods Must Be Crazy" would have been more interesting if the main guy had found a chainsaw instead of that bottle.
10 mins - That guy obviously suffered from high blood pressure.
18 mins - Pretty cheap for a double-barreled shotgun. Hey, did the barrel length just change?
21 mins - You sound like my grandmother.
26 mins - Detroit?
32 mins - We have gone from "The Amazing Colossal Man" to "Gulliver's Travels" to "The Manster" and now we are on "The Incredible Two-Headed Transplant." What is next, "The Birds?"
38 mins - Oops, looks like you found the dreaded Hoovernomicon: The Book of the Suck.
51 mins - For a moment there I was worried that a song was coming on.
53 mins - Skeletal musicians: +1 combat result.
65 mins - Amy Winehouse?
Audio clips in wav format
Starving actors speak out
Duke Henry: "I am Henry the Red. Duke of Shale, Lord of the Northlands, and leader of its peoples."
Ash: "Well, hello Mr. Fancy Pants! I got news for you, pal. You ain't leading but two things right now: jack and s**t, and jack left town."
Ash: "Yeah. All right you primitive screwheads, listen up. See this? This is my BOOMSTICK!"
Ash tries to BS his way through saying the magic words.
Deadite Sheila: "You found me beautiful once."
Ash: "Honey, you got real ugly."
Deadite Sheila: *SHRIEKS*

"Alright you primitive screwheads..Listen up"
"You see this??.....THIS is my POST!"
I first saw this movie when i was 12 ....i remember hired it because the cover looked cool : ) but i must have hired it like 20 times over the next few years hehehe.
So this has been by a LARGE margin my favourite movie for almost 10 years now but..strangely enough i have yet to see the previous 2..hmmmm.
Here, 2 independent sources verify the degree to which AOD rules:

Each entry in the "Evil Dead" series has a markedly different tone, which is exactly what makes them all so memorable. The first is the most gruelling and harrowing (the most typically "horrific" if you will), the second has great doses of black comedy mixed in with absolute delerium, and "Army of Darkness" is the most lighthearted and adventurous of the three. Ash is less of the psychopath-on-auto-pilot he was in Part 2 and has softened into a endearing and unlikely hero. Still thick as a brick, but less ragged around the edges. It has a quaint old-fashioned feel to it, much like a Ray Harryhausen film. The "safest" of all the films, but infinitely fun and enjoyable.

I haven't seen Evil Dead but I love evil dead two because it's really funny and Army of Darkness has some great action moments. A must see for all Horror/Action fans who have a dark sense of humour.

I love it, I love it, I love it! This one is just over the top. But its sad that Raimi won´t make a fourth part. Because he went to make hollywood-movies, uaaah. Well, Spiderman is ok, but its just mainstream for me! The last good movie he made was Darkman, which had also lots of humor in it. Allthough the special-effects of Army of Darkness won´t stand the fx of today, I really enjoy them. Imagine an army of skelletons animated by a computer. They wouldn´t look as cool as they do in this movie! "Is there any director/producer out there, who will make a cool movie like this?" Yes? Then go ahead guys!

LMS completed the Richardson Group Grain Silo in North Vancouver with exceptional results. The 18 month project consisted of the construction of 2 silos, each with 14 cells using slip form construction. LMS's scope of work consisted of the supply and installation of rebar for the foundations, silo slip walls, roof and mezzanine. During the slip work, the structure rose by 1 inch every 6 minutes (on average) as rebar was placed while concrete was poured continuously until the structure was complete. Our crew of 120 installers (split between 2 shifts) worked 24 hours a day for eight straight days on the construction of the 14 cells of the new grain silo. In total, we constructed 2 silos, both with 14 cells, each required an 8 day continuous pour. The project required 1,500 metric tons of rebar, 23,000 manhours performed by a crew of 120 men.

I try to fight off labels: Abhay Deol
He has charted out a different path for himself in Bollywood with out-of-the-box films like 'Oye Lucky Lucky Oye' and 'Dev D' but what irks Abhay Deol the most is being labelled as...entertainment Updated: Mar 05, 2010 11:05 IST
Abhay, who started his journey as a romantic hero in Imtiaz Ali's debut film 'Socha Na Tha' in 2005, has come a long way in the industry. And while he likes to be part of movies that are different and do not follow the formula, Abhay says being labelled harms him as an actor.
"I dislike labels like commercial and non commercial. As soon as you say that this film is not commercial you kill the market of a movie. It harms me when people say I am non-mainstream or non-commercial actor. I try to fight off such labels," Abhay told PTI in an interview.
The actor will next be seen Dev Benegal's internationally acclaimed film Road, Movie, which is releasing in India tomorrow.
But despite coming from a Bollywood family with names like Dharmendra as his uncle and Sunny and Bobby Deol as his brothers, getting roles in the industry post the failure of his first film was not easy for Abhay.
"When Socha Na Tha flopped, it was very hard to get work as an actor. After Dev D, I have lot of work and the budget of my films and my fee have increased. Don't my films make money? If this was the case I would not have survived this far," he said.

New AgriLife Extension entomologist fills regional post
LUBBOCK - Texas A&M University's department of entomology and the Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service entomology project group announced the hiring of Dr. Suhas Vyavhare as the new AgriLife Extension cotton entomologist serving the South Plains.
Vyavhare, started Feb. 1 and is headquartered at the Texas A&M AgriLife Research and Extension Center at Lubbock. The center is headquarters for AgriLife Extension's 20-county South Plains District that Vyavhare serves.
Dr. Charles Allen, state integrated pest management coordinator at San Angelo, said Vyavhare earned a bachelor's in agriculture from Mahatma Phule Agricultural University, Rahuri, India, and a master's in plant, soil and environmental science from West Texas A&M University at Canyon. He then earned a doctorate in entomology from Texas A&M University at College Station.
Previously, he was a postdoctoral research associate at the Texas A&M AgriLife Research and Extension Center at Beaumont, Allen said. While there, Vyavhare was in charge of implementing, managing and supervising applied research addressing entomological issues in soybeans, rice, sugarcane and sorghum. He also designed and conducted various field trials evaluating performance of crop protection products.
Prior to working in Beaumont, Vyavhare was a teaching assistant in the department of entomology at Texas A&M.
"We are looking forward to watching Dr. Vyavhare continue on the path of excellence he has charted thus far in his career as he takes on the responsibility of working with AgriLife Extension agents and farmers to help them manage cotton insects on the Texas High Plains," Allen said.

Re: Disappointments of the Trilogy?
Mainly just the Rhodey actor switch (not that I don't like Cheadle, but stuff like that just irks me) and IM2 being a little weak.
Other than those two things, I liked the first and third movies about the same. I can see
some people don't enjoy the third as much, I just don't agree with many of their points, personally.
Also, just because it bugged me when I was reading through the thread:

I agree the other armors should have had more screentime and all that, but this totally isn't a plot hole; it's just an aspect of the movie you didn't agree with or enjoy. A plot hole is when something established in an early part of a story is directly and logically contradicted at a later point in the story. Generally speaking, if you can come up with a reason to easily explain it away, then it isn't a plot hole. In this case, a person could say that the other armors were also prototypes due to their rapid construction, or maybe that the Mark 42 really was
much more powerful in comparison to the others, even in prototype form. Just quick examples.

1Introduction 1.1About this document 1.2Intention of the format 2Specification 2.1Character set 2.2Syntax 2.3Description 2.4Examples 3Technologies 3.1Parsing and creating documents 3.2Structure validation of documents 4References 4.1Links 5Revision History
This document specifies a format named DEC that is used to store complex structured data and is therefor the official specification that is the basis for all systems that handle the DEC format.
The intention behind the DEC format was that the author desired a format that would be suitable for writing programs in a purely declarative way. As a side product of this effort a format was developed that was also suited to store arbitrary complex structured data similar to XML, but less verbose and simpler. Because of its universal and simple nature, the DEC format is applicable in many cases beside beeing a format for declarative program logic.
It was then decided that the DEC format would be defined by an official specification which is this document in order to provide the means to create compatible and relieable software for handling the format.
The DEC format uses the Unicode character set.
The syntax of the DEC format in EBNF (Extended Backus-Naur Form) is as follows.
space (ignored) = /\s\n\r\t+/ multiline-comment (ignored) = "/*" .. "*/" singleline-comment (ignored) = /\#[^\n\r]*/ file = { declaration } declaration = [ "@", identifier ], literal literal = map | string | real | number | identifier map = [ symbol ], "[", { pair }, "]" pair = [ symbol, ":" ], declaration string = double-quoted-string | single-quoted-string double-quoted-string = '"' .. '"' single-quoted-string = "'" .. "'" real = /\d+\.\d+/ number = /\d+/ identifier = symbol, { ".", symbol } symbol = /[\w\d]+(\-[\w\d]+)*/
The EBNF notation is extended by these two notational concepts to create a simpler grammar:
"x" and
"y". Between these two
terminal symbols
"y" can only appear if it is escaped by using
the escape character, which is in this case
\ (backslash).
DEC content is a sequence of literals. These types of literals are defined:
Each contained literal has a key associated. The same key can appear 0 or more times.
Keys do not have to be explicitly set but are automatically generated when ommitted. The automatically generated keys are whole numbers starting with 0 and incremented by 1 for each key that has to be automatically named.
The order of the contained literals is relevant, though the logic that interprets the DEC document may ignore the order.
A map has an optional type identifier associated. If the type identifier is ommitted, then the empty type identifier is used.
A literal has an optional name that is noted before the literal. This name is a global identifier and can be used as a literal itself.
An identifier does not have to be defined before it can be used. The logic that interprets the DEc document(s) may choose the behaviour when encountering an identifier that has not been defined after the whole DEC document has been analysed or all DEC documents have been analysed. One behaviour for example could be to create an error message, another one could be to automatically create a literal referenced by the identifier. Yet another behaviour could be to silently ignore the incident.
This is an example of DEC formatted content that is used to represent declarative program logic:
@t "This is a window title" @w 256 @h w @r 42.22 @a application [ windows: @stuff.x [ @mw.bla window [ title: t size: size [ width: w height: h ] max-size: @max size [ width: 100 height: 100 ] button [ model: btn ] ] bla: window [] ] morestuffs: [] @btn model [ value: "quit" ] ]
This is an example of DEC formatted content that is used to represent a collection of contact information:
address-book [ contacts: [ contact [ name: "Tony" familyname: "Baloni" street: "West Harvard Road" number: 42 birthday: date [ day: 21 month: 11 year: 1977 ] ] contact [ name: "Sandy" familyname: "Rivers" street: "Mainstreet" number: 1 birthday: date [ day: 11 month: 3 year: 1983 ] ] ] ]
Using the grammar for the DEC format, parsers can be created that read DEC formatted content into a data structure for various programming languages to use. Writers can also be created that turn data structures into DEC formatted content that conforms to the DEC grammar.
Existing DEC parser and writer implementations include (this list may be incomplete):
Since the parser usually only validates the syntax of a DEC document, there is often a need to determine weither a given DEC document conforms to a certain structure. This leads to the DECS format, that can be used to define the structure of a class of DEC documents. See the DECS specification on detailed information.

This iReport is part of an assignment:
Remote aerial photography
Frozen Harbor: Aerial video of frozen ocean harbor in Wellfleet, Cape Cod, MA captured with an RC hexacopter
Using a small monitor to frame his shots, the flight lasted about 12 minutes and was created around sunset at Wellfleet Harbor in Cape Cod. "I could not pass the opportunity to get this footage...The ice was torn by the tides, creating this beautiful iceberg mosaic in the water and on land."
- taliaday, CNN iReport producer
On our way home from Cape Cod, we noticed these icebergs scattered along the Wellfleet Harbor in Cape Cod, Massachusetts (Wellfleet Oysters anyone?). With one battery and about 15 minutes of sunlight left, I could not pass the opportunity to get this footage, and took my RC hexacopter out for another flight. This ocean harbor is on the bayside, protected from waves, and it's shallow edges froze over during a cold-snap (infamous "Polar Vortex"). The ice was torn by the tides, creating this beautiful iceberg mosaic in the water and on land

If you ever wanted to walk on water, this is how you can do it
I'm willing to bet that there is not a single person out there who doesn't wish they could walk on water. I think about how cool it would be to walk on water every time I go near a pool, lake or ocean.
Normally, that skill is reserved for superheroes, Jesus and maybe some dogs but now thanks to the discovery that if you mix cornstarch and water together it creates oobleck, (a bouncy thick fluid that is classified as a non-Newtonian), and makes walking on water entirely possible.
The video below shows you what happens when you dump 8,000 liters of oobleck into a pool in Malaysia. Hint: it's a coolest pool party ever. Also, walking on the fluid isn't necessarily as easy as it looks because half way through the video, we see a bunch of people fall in and the result looks like you got slimed in the worst way.

Last week after the Snowden-NSA spying revelations I asked the question, Big Data vs. NSA PRISM Snooping: Is There a Difference? Some people said I was nuts or stupid because the differences are "obvious."
Paraphrasing, their arguments went: online and offline data collection for marketing purposes is relatively harmless because it's just about ad targeting, whereas the NSA snooping is evil because of Big Brother and totalitarian government scenarios.
But those dismissals are too facile.
Over the past week I've also seen lots of discussion among career marketers about whether or not the online ad industry is somehow morally the same as or has any "culpability" in the NSA controversy. There are plenty of denials and "no not at all" statements going around.
I previously argued that there were strong parallels conceptually:
In the case of NSA PRISM, the agency is accused of capturing huge volumes of consumer online activity without their knowledge or consent. The government, in the wake of the revelations, said that there are safeguards built into the system and privacy is protected. Effectively the government is saying "trust us," we're not really doing anything improper.
With marketing-related "big data" it's much the same. Huge volumes of consumer behavior and transaction data are being compiled, analyzed and combined. Most of the data mining from online and offline sources are being captured entirely behind the scenes without consumer awareness or (informed) consent.
A ZDNet article quotes Digital Net Agency Chief Strategy Officer Skip Graham, who says that online advertising has "helped pave the way" for PRISM by "'softening' consumer viewpoints on privacy issues — effectively making the public feel complacent about handing over personal information online."
While I believe there's truth to this theory, I'm not sure that the public is "complacent" about online privacy. There's lots of concern about targeting, tracking and online privacy. See, for example:
- Privacy Concerns, Online Ad Targeting On Apparent Collision Course
- Pew: 50 Percent Have Cleared Smartphone Search History
- Survey: People Don't Want to Be Tracked Even If It Means More Relevant Ads
And today there was a related Bloomberg article: U.S. Agencies Said to Swap Data With Thousands of Firms. The article says there's extensive, voluntary cooperation between US companies and government security agencies. Sometimes the companies benefit directly from that cooperation in a kind of "quid pro quo" way:
Thousands of technology, finance and manufacturing companies are working closely with U.S. national security agencies, providing sensitive information and in return receiving benefits that include access to classified intelligence, four people familiar with the process said.
It seems that there isn't the "bright line" between government surveillance and corporate behavior that many people want to assert. The truth is more complex.
I agree that the online advertising industry, with its ad-related "surveillance" of consumer behavior has "softened" attitudes among consumers toward what the NSA is doing. I also believe there isn't much of a defensible distinction between NSA data gathering and online "big data," both are happening without consumer knowledge or consent (by design).
Even if consumers are upset and angry about the NSA revelations, we've all become so dependent upon the online tools and services implicated in the surveillance scandal (e.g., email, search, social nets, smartphones) that it's almost impossible to imagine living without them now. For those who are upset, it's not clear what to do — hence the sense of consumer "complacency" perhaps.
Seemingly the only real way to "fight back" (beyond political activism) is to opt-out of online activity and go back to an "analog" lifestyle. Few people are willing or able to do that.

Karthus Build
Ability Sequence
Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
Chapter 1
GENERAL: This Karthus build is for mid and is what I use. Generally I go 8-20 / 2-10 / x depending on how the game unfolds and how long it is etc. For the most part I just use lay waste to farm minions, although if you have good aim with it it can be a good harrass spell, best at 4+ish cause with wall of pain's movement speed decrease its a lot easier to hit someone, even if they know its coming and try to dodge.
Late game its fairly easy to kill just about anyone by wall of pain + defile active and stand next to them while using lay waste.
With your ult at level 6 you can pretty much kill anyone at 150-250 hp, depends on their magic resist, and if they have any spells that reduce damage. To be on the safe side take your ult total damage and take off 50-75.
Around lv10-11 you are going to want to have golem buff all the time, not only does it increase mana regen by like, 150per5 when you are low (chalice ftw), but it also reduces the cooldown of your ult by about 30 seconds.
Note: when you have 20 soulstealer stacks and golem buff your ult can only be reduced to 72 seconds, which is still amazing as it can hit 800+ late game.
SPELLS: Because defiling someone is a rather easy way to get a kill, I prefer teleport and flash as my combination.
Ignite is a possible choice if you keep having people get away at low health.
Exhaust is the other main possibility, a slower person is a LOT easier to hit with lay waste.
Clarity can be good if you are having mana trouble all the time.
Ghost can be taken over flash, but personally I prefer flash.
ITEMS: Healing potion and Tome, or 2x healing 1x mana and regular boots to start off.
Get soulstealer immediately, then get sorcerer shoes and then chalice, by the time you are getting chalice you should be 10-11 ish and so go and get golem buff, thisll let you spam lay waste.
Next hextech revolver, since mana wont be much of an issue anymore you are gonna need health.
After hex get zhonyas, ability power and SURVIVABILITY, very important.
Next up is will of the ancients for even more healing.
And now for Void staff, if the enemy team doesnt have much magic resist you can skip this till after lichs bane. (It's easy to tell if you need more magic pen when your ult hits no where near what it should, with the exception of damage reducing abilities that some heroes have.)
And now that you have lots of gold get lichs bane by selling chalice, keeping blue buff all the time should ensure almost no mana problems and now every auto attack you do will also do like 300-600 damage.
If the game continues you drag on and you have 2k after buying your wishlist, sell your sorcerer shoes and buy elixirs, then buy back your shoes, the cooldown reduction and AP is a nobrainer, agility helps with attack speed / crit which is great with lichs bane, and the extra health is gonna help you stay alive longer.

Day 194: It Came From Outer SpaceLeave a comment
July 12, 2012 by Alex Hoekstra
It's no secret that I'm a big fan of science-fiction. I'll admit, however, that I'm a bit of a snob about my sci-fi. Having a solid background in science, it's difficult to overlook mistakes and fallacies that to me are obvious. Whenever that happens, though, I try to remind myself that sci-fi isn't all about the science. Don't get me wrong, the gizmos dreamt up on Star Trek undoubtedly inspired some of the modern devices we're enjoying today, but it's not the devices themselves that mattered most – it's the dreaming. It's the idea that we can become better, smarter, stronger, happier, nicer…and so on. The fi that complements the sci is the seed of aspiration – the notion that the future is awesome (and sometimes scary) and that it's within our reach if we keep stretching. Today's project hearkens back to that optimism, and hopes to make the world want to keep stretching everyday.
Space Command is a series of films from some of the most talented, experienced and visionary sci-fi writers and artists alive today. Inspired by the classic optimism of the (sometimes hokey) golden age of sci-fi, and enlivened by new powers to render their vision for a more amazing tomorrow, the creators are bringing good sci-fi back to life without subjecting it to the mercy of Hollywood.
I often hear fans say, "Why are there so few good sci-fi shows on TV, and why do so many go south?" I can tell you – frankly, most of the network suits just don't get it.
But you and I do.
So when I recently got the idea of creating a new show inspired by the sense of wonder and possibility science fiction gave me as a kid, I realized I didn't need a network or studio to make my dream come true — just Kickstarter and you.
I get it. At least, I'm pretty sure I do. But that's what's great, I suppose: that sci-fi could mean something completely different for you than it does for me; that we're able to interpret and extract meaning from even the most subtle cues from the world of a make-believe tomorrow. Without thinking about that world, how can we ever expect to achieve it? If you're not content to leave the future in the hands of somebody else – if you've waited too long for flying cars, jetpacks and iPhones, then I hope you'll join the army of sci-fi visionaries and futurists by backing Space Command before July 18.

THE scene is a Williamsburg loft, the home of Larry Tee, DJ and founder of the Electroclash festival. The characters are Carlos, an aspiring DJ who's juggling school and his career; Steph, a 20-something fashion intern; Sam Levin, the 22-year-old drummer of Sea Sick; Jason Hall, a 26-year-old fashion consultant who's worked for the Gap; Tee's friend and Dance Music Invasion Festival partner Kevin Graves, an aspiring 32-year-old dance music producer and DJ; and Keith Pollack, a handsome, 25-year-old New Yorker who draws a giant circle on a white sketch pad.
But it's not hipster Pictionary – it's Landmark Education, the modern-day incarnation of est, the personal-growth organization founded and popularized in the '70s by Werner Erhard. As Landmark, the granddaddy of the human potential movement is back – and it's found a home among New York City's demimonde.
Along with Tee, Levin and Graves, burlesque legend the World Famous *BOB* claims to have found inspiration at Landmark.
Pollack explains his circle: "This what you know you know," he pointed to the smallest slice of the circle, and "this," he indicated the largest area, "is what you don't know you don't know."
Discovering what you don't know, claim adherents, will lead to increased productivity, better relationships and a more enjoyable life. What you Product, another creative type who's taken Landmark courses, says when he told people about it, "They laughed at me." He says, "They thought it was a cult." But, he adds, "I don't think it's a cult at all."
Indeed, Landmark has been haunted by the C-word since its inception in 1991, when Erhard sold his "technology" to his brother.
"I thought, 'If they pass out Kool-Aid, I'll just take a cab home,'" says the World Famous *BOB*. "I am not a follower, so I wasn't too worried about it."
One reason people are uncomfortable with Landmark is the pressure put on attendees to recruit friends: Landmark doesn't advertise and relies on word of mouth.
Cult expert Rick Ross likens it to a "virus" that spreads like "wildfire." "You go because your good friend and person that you trust has told you about this wonderful experience and shared it with you; he's a great artist, a wonderful person. 'Why not – I'll give a shot?'" says Ross. "That's how people get pulled in."
And though Landmark is billed as the kinder, gentler version of est, Ross is not so sure. "I think 'hipster' really is a good word to describe it because it's really kind of like 'That '70s Show,' " he says. "It's reruns, going back to the '70s when Werner Erhard created est. All Landmark Education really is is est recycled with a new name and not very different management."
Landmark, naturally, takes a very different position.
"Creative types get a lot of juice out of our programs – they love removing barriers to their creative self-expression and tell us they experience a whole new level of productivity and inspiration," says Deborah Beroset, spokeswoman for Landmark Education.
"Any implication that we are cult-like is absolutely ludicrous."
After a tax scandal (since resolved in Erhard's favor), in 1991, his brother Harry Rosenberg took over as CEO of Landmark, and Erhard moved out of the country. But the est rep still lingers.
Nonetheless, the "new" formula's worked – so far Landmark claims to have 1 million Forum customers, including the World Famous *BOB*, who created her first burlesque class in the Self Expression and Leadership course nine years ago, and now teaches a monthly class that seems very Landmark-esque at the School of Burlesque. The "Self Confidence Class" provides the students, writes *BOB* in her e-mail newsletter, with "five tools that you can use on an everyday basis to encourage yourself to take bigger chances in life – on or off stage!"
Pacha co-owner and DJ Erick Morillo was such a fan of the program that he asked all of his employees at Subliminal Records to take the course. "When you get into that conversation about integrity and putting your ass on the line," he explains. "If am going to have those kind of conversations with employees, I need to create a world around myself where I am communicating in the same language."
Larry Tee is ground zero for the Landmark's hipster contingent. He actually developed the Electroclash festival during Landmark's Self Expression and Leadership Program.
"I really liked the language I heard," says Tee. "They were talking about integrity, authenticity."
Before Landmark, Tee was struggling – making $100 a week at a small gay nightclub. "I knew I had this energy and ability but I didn't have the structure to make my life catch fire." Now, he's touring the world as a headlining DJ.
His friend and co-worker, Kevin Graves started taking the courses because he wondered what made his boss so confident. "I just saw how effective of a communicator he was and the fact that he always seemed to get what he wants. And I just figured I wanted to be like that."
Graves credits the program with enabling him to come clean about his HIV positive status to his parents, and has helped him develop LOUDER, which connects booking agents, managers and club owners, DJs and label heads with each other via a social networking site he is planning on launching in coming months.
It might seem odd for independent-minded creatives to like Landmark, but says Graves. "I think that sort of structure is what every creative artist craves – to translate art into success."
The corporate types that go to Landmark didn't scare them off, either. "I am always hanging out with 'cool' people," says *BOB*. "It's interesting for me to sit with stockbrokers."
Sam Levin, the drummer, says his other bandmates all signed up for Landmark. "I actually think that it's such a creative thing to do because the whole point is 'What do you want to create in your life?' if you consider that your life is a canvas."
Jason Hall, the fashion consultant, thinks Landmark works better than anything else he's tried: "I have started Kaballah, I have done the therapy route off and on – Landmark is the most effective and time efficient. For $600, in one weekend you literally 'get' your life." Not everyone is sold: Spencer Product – who says he spent more than $1,000 on the program – ultimately abandoned Landmark for therapy. "I definitely can say it changed the way I perceive life and work, but the thing about the Forum, it's a buzz. You get a buzz and it wears off."

There had only been 40 inductees into the World Curling Hall of Fame and Thursday Kevin Martin became No. 41.
Arguably the greatest curler in the history of the game, this was a 'when' thing not an 'if' thing. But that didn't make it anything less thrilling for the three-time Olympian and four-time Brier champion.
They could have announced he was going in to the hall the day he retired in 2014, but Martin said he's glad that curling has a four-year waiting period.
"It allows you to see your entire career on a much larger canvas than you really do when you've been living in the moment. After four years now, I look back on my curling career as one thing. It went on for a long time," he said.
Martin, who flies out of Edmonton Friday morning to work the Olympic Winter Games in Korea as a color commentator, found out about the honour Sunday.
The timing was terrific. This is the 100th anniversary of the Northern Alberta Curling Association. And Martin joins NACA products Randy Ferbey and Warren Hansen in the Hall which still hasn't figured out that they still have time to induct the world's oldest living Brier skip Matt Baldwin, 92, a three-time Brier winner who was the Arnold Palmer of curling in the 50s and inspired the building of more curling clubs than anyone in history.
But this is Martin's day. And what a story he wrote to get to this day. I mean this is a guy who won his first Brier in 1991, back when he had hair.
Looking back, Martin said he has a few favorite memories beyond the obvious.
"Winning the Canadian Junior in 1985 was a big one. It was in St. John's, Newfoundland and that was my first time on a plane," he said.
You'd think winning that first Brier in 1991 would be one, but he said it was actually the media scrum after he won.
"Our coach Jules Owchar was supposed to tell us. They decided that the team that won the Brier final would get to go to the Albertville Olympics in 1992. But he thought that would bother me too much and he didn't tell me," he said of the year it was a demonstration sport. "I didn't know until the media scrum after the game when I was asked what it feels like to represent your country in the Olympic Games? I didn't know. Nobody had told me. That was the first I had found out. Jules said he thought it would make me too nervous.
"Another favorite memory it was to get my 18th Slam," he said of matching the record of Jack Nicklaus in golf. That was on the last day I played."
Born in Killam on July 31, 1966, Martin competed in 12 Briers coming out of the most competitive area in all of curling from 1991 to 2013. The Old Bear, or K-Mart, as he is known, won it in 1991, 1997, 2008 and 2009.
He skipped teams that became the first to win a million dollars and become the first to pass the $2 million mark.
At one point Martin went 24 consecutive Slam events in the money and won more Grand Slam events — 18 including eight Players Championships titles — than anybody in history and is generally credited for being the leader in creating the televised tour as it exists today.
His 2008 and 2009 teams went undefeated to win the provincials and the Brier and did the same at the Vancouver Olympics in 2010.
"And I know that after the 2010 Olympics we didn't lose any games for the rest of that season," he added.
Nobody has ever accomplished anything like that much less all that time after winning those first two Briers.
"That was quite the curling team. Now I've been retired for four years and guess who is going to the Olympics? All three of them!"
Marc Kennedy and Ben Hebert are returning to play with Kevin Koe and John Morris is representing Canada in the men's doubles. And Martin is going to with NBC.
"I'm totally stoked about that. I sent a text to all three right after John won saying 'Hey, guys, we're all going back to the Olympics!' "
Martin looks back now and sees that seven-year-old kid in Lougheed where his dad Ab used to take him to the two-sheet rink to watch him curl.
"Dad would let me throw a few rocks when the game was over. I couldn't get the rocks to the other end, but I'd watch the game while I waited to get the chance to throw those rocks," he said.
Then his dad made a deal with him.
"I told him as soon as he could get the rock down to the house at the other end of the rink that he could play on my men's team," said Ab, who once made it to the final of the Viking Fridge 'Spiel, which back then was a bigger deal than it probably sounds today.
By the time the tyke was 12 he was the skip.
"It's hard to find people who want to play for a 12-year-old skip." said Ab.
Little did they know that kid would one day be inducted into the World Curling Hall of Fame.

Taylor Swift Hangs with Intern Adam
Several JJ readers sent in photos last night and wrote in to talk about Taylor Swift hanging out with Intern Adam at Wal-Mart in Hendersonville, Tenn.
(This is the same Intern Adam that was fired for leaking the recent Britney Spears Womanizer single and then subsequently rehired.)
Check out Adam's thoughts on Taylor on his blog, Internadam.com!
The pair walked side-by-side to a rack of CDs, which prominently displayed her new album, Fearless (in stores today).
According to spywitnesses, there was plenty of laughs, smiles, stares, giggles and hugs. "There was lots of tumblings throughout the crowd about the new guy," one onlooker said.
Check out the video footage at YouTube.com.

News Items Tagged 'browsers'
Browsers will still see many web sites very differently. Now we have even more browsers to worry about with systems like the Play Station 3, iPhone, and now Google's Chrome. However there is a workaround that internet explorer incorporated into their latest browser, Internet Explorer 7. Though we would all like a standard to be an actual standard as opposed to guidelines ( which DTD is being more referred as for html/xhtml ), it is nice and actually a shock to see Microsoft recognize the differences and give us a useful way of handling the problem.
Internet Explorer calls these hacks: Conditionals. These are more or less comments that IE will interpret and other browsers will see as comments (as they should).
The following is a short list of conditionals Internet Explorer has given to us: Read the rest of this entry »

this game is really fun and has very different gameplay than minit

Are there any plans to include ratings as well? Would be nice to have a Netflix like system eventually as suggested for steam in this article http://www.gamasutra.com/blogs/TaekwanKim/20170217/291886/Design_Exercise_A_Better_Steam.php
Hey guys,
I'm a programmer finishing up my bachelors in computer science and I live in the Central Coast of California. I've been trying to program bad games since the beginning of highschool.
Some things I know about in game dev:
- 2D Spritesheet loading
- Sound generation (made a synth program to generate fun wav files)
- Working with different types of noise (i.e. perlin and symplex)
- Pathfinding (A* mostly)
- 2D and 3D collisions (last 48h game I developed object oriented bounding box colliding with axis aligned cylinder in 3D)
- Physics stuff (Did my bachelor's thesis on deformable solid simulation)
- Networking (Peer to peer connections, as well as peer to server e.g. http://www.dopeness.ninja multiplayer web game using nodejs server. If you try it bring a friend, no one is on usually)
- Markov chains and basic neural networks (aka weird learning ai)
Can do some shitty pixel art. On my website, checkout Office Party (if it loads for you), Runner (background and character sprite), and Clashers (the most shitty of art).
So far I've only completed 3 game jams, 48h ISR3 with a friend and 2 3h game jams. I really want to work on coming up with ideas that are scaled properly and prioritizing time. I'm also really excited about working with new people especially designers and artists.
I will be free for the entire jam period, so if we team-up I'm ready to put in all 72 hours minus 7-9 hours sleep the first two nights and food breaks.
I can do all the programming or contribute to a project or if you really want I'll do crappy pixel art all day. Let me know if you want to make something cool!
[EDIT: Game I like: Katamari Damacy, Noby Noby Boy, Shadow of the Colossus, Halo 2, Super Smash Bros. Melee, F-Zero, Animal Crossing]

International Justice in the News
The International Center for Ethics, Justice and Public Life brings you a monthly selection of news about the people involved in the work of international courts and tribunals, significant developments in international justice, and articles and publications of interest. We hope that this brief selection will help you keep abreast of the field and lead you to sites where you can inform yourself further.
June 2012
People in the News
Following his conviction by the Special Court for Sierra Leone (SCSL) last month, former Liberian president Charles Taylor has now been sentenced to 50 years in jail. Mr. Taylor was the first head of state convicted by an international court since the Nuremberg trials after World War II. The sentence is expected to be appealed by both the defense and prosecution. Read more in The New York Times.
The full SCSL judgment in Prosecutor v. Charles Taylor was published only a few days before his sentence was announced. It is the longest judgment of any international tribunal to date – 2499 pages – and is in a non-searchable format. However, a searchable version was quickly created and made available by IntLawGrrls. It can be accessed here.
Judge Motoo Noguchi (BIIJ 2010) has resigned his position in the Supreme Court Chamber of the Extraordinary Chambers in the Courts of Cambodia (ECCC). He intends to return to service in the Ministry of Justice in his native Japan. Judge Noguchi's resignation follows that of ECCC co-investigating judges Siegfried Blunk and Laurent Kasper-Ansermet in recent months. Read more from the UN News Centre.
The opening hours of the long-awaited trial of Ratko Mladic at the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) were dramatic. Mladic, who remained at large for 16 years until his arrest in 2011, faces charges including genocide for his role as the top military commander overseeing the massacre of more than 7,000 Muslim men and boys at Srebrenica, Bosnia in 1995. As reported by the BBC, the courtroom heard of the panic caused by the approach of Mladic's forces to Srebenica and the threats he made to Muslims. The proceedings were then halted – ironically by Dutch Judge Alphonse Orie whom the defense had earlier attempted to bar from the trial – when it became clear that the ICTY prosecution had not fully disclosed its evidence to the defense. The trial is now scheduled to resume in late June 2012.
International justice may not be perfect but it is making a difference and is here to stay. There is no denying, however, that individuals from powerful countries are rarely seen in the international dock and that international justice "will be better, stronger and even more legitimate when the playing field is more level." So writes international lawyer and law professor Philippe Sands in a recent op-ed in The Guardian. Access the full editorial here.
Developments in International Justice
The Grand Chamber of the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) recently heard the case of Khaled el-Masri, who claims that the Republic of Macedonia complied in his rendition to an American secret prison in Afghanistan. A German citizen of Lebanese descent, el-Masri says he was abducted by the Macedonian authorities in 2003 and transferred to Afghanistan, where he was imprisoned for four months. He claims that his abduction was a case of mistaken identity – he bears the same name as a man wanted in the 9/11 terrorist attacks. It is alleged that once intelligence agencies realized that el-Masri was innocent, he was abandoned on a roadside in Albania.
The US Supreme Court previously rejected a 2007 attempt to bring a suit against the US Central Intelligence Agency for the incident. El-Masri now claims that Macedonia violated the European Convention on Human Rights by torturing him and being complicit in a plot to deprive him of his liberty. El-Masri is represented by James Goldston of the Open Society Initiative. Listen to an interview with Goldston, watch the ECHR hearing, and read more about the case. An ECHR decision will be issued in several months.
The administration of President Barack Obama is urging the United States to ratify the Law of the Sea Treaty. More than 160 nations belong to the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, which governs how nations may use the world's oceans and the resources they contain. All major industrialized nations have ratified the treaty except the United States. In a recent congressional hearing, Secretary of State Hilary Clinton noted, "If we do not join the convention, our companies will miss out on opportunities to explore vast areas of continental shelf and deep seabed. If we do join the convention, we unlock economic opportunities worth potentially hundreds of billions of dollars." Defense Secretary Leon Panetta argued that adhering to international conventions strengthens America's moral authority when it comes to pressuring other states to do likewise. The ratification vote is unlikely to take place until next November's presidential election is past. Read more from Voice of America.
The Organization of American States reports in a press release that Brazil is establishing a Truth Commission to investigate human rights violations committed between 1946 and 1988, "with a view to reclaiming the historical truth of what occurred during those decades, including during the last military dictatorship." Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff has announced the names of the seven members of the Commission, which will have a two-year mandate to investigate what occurred and submit a report.
President Rousseff, a former leftist guerilla, has a personal interest in the proceedings, having been imprisoned and tortured during the military dictatorship. Along with more than 100 other individuals, she will receive an apology from the Rio de Janeiro state government, as well as $10,000 under a compensation law passed in 2001. The president will donate the funds to charity. Read more from The Washington Post.
The High Court in Pretoria, South Africa's administrative capital, has ordered South African authorities to investigate and prosecute members of the Zimbabwe government who have tortured their political opponents. Under South African law, the police are obliged to investigate evidence of a crime against humanity, wherever it occurs, if the rule of law does not exist there. Read more details from AllAfrica.com.
This historic case comes close on the heels of a decision by Argentine courts to investigate crimes against humanity allegedly committed during the Franco era in Spain. Could these two cases herald "a rise in universal jurisdiction from the global South"? Read a commentary on this subject from IntLawGrrls.
The saga of the "Ocampo 4" continues. The prominent Kenyans charged by International Criminal Court (ICC) Prosecutor Luis Moreno Ocampo have attempted a number of means to avoid being tried in The Hague, including a challenge to the ICC's jurisdiction and a move to shift the case to the East African Court of Justice. But now the ICC Appeals Chamber "has literally sealed all exits on the Nairobi-Hague expressway for Kenya's high-profile suspects indicted for crimes against humanity," as reported in the Kenyan media.
The ICC has just informed the four that they should expect to spend at least a year and a half in The Hague during their trial. Two of the accused, Uhuru Kenyatta and William Ruto, would like to stand in the upcoming Kenyan presidential elections, but the ICC says that its trial schedule should not take into account their political aspirations. Many challenges to the Court remain to be solved. Defense lawyers are asking that the ICC hold the trials in East Africa, given that the Rome Statute allows for an alternative venue. The defense and the prosecution teams have also indicated to the trial chamber that they will need translators in multiple Kenyan languages – Kikuyu, Luo, Kalenjin, Kamba, Kisii, and Luhya. Read an update on the situation here.
In the meantime, another ICC accused, President Omar al Bashir of Sudan, recently called on all African nations to reject the ICC. The Sudan Tribune reports that Sudanese Justice Minister Mohamed Bushara Dousa considers the ICC guilty of applying a "double standards policy," which "should push the African countries to withdraw from the Hague-based court and activate the African Court of Justice and Human and People's Rights." The latter refers to another initiative under consideration – the expansion of the African Union's human rights court to address a wider range of legal issues. The new ICC prosecutor, Fatou Bensouda of The Gambia, rejects allegations that her court is targeting Africa, as reported in The Guardian.
Articles and Publications of Interest
A new article by Andrew Strauss of Widener University School of Law, "Cutting the Gordian Knot: How and Why the United Nations Should Vest the International Court of Justice with Referral Jurisdiction" (44 Cornell International Law Journal 603, 2011), argues that the United Nations General Assembly should give the International Court of Justice what he calls "Referral Jurisdiction." This new form of jurisdiction would allow states to secure advisory judgments in their disputes with fellow states, regardless of whether those states had consented to the Court's jurisdiction. Professor Strauss makes the case that Referral Jurisdiction is politically achievable, that it would improve compliance with international law and that it would strengthen the International Court of Justice.
Strauss and his colleagues are embarking on a political initiative to promote Referral Jurisdiction (see www.icjproject.org) and are interested in readers' comments about the article or the advancement of Referral Jurisdiction. Professor Strauss can be contacted at firstname.lastname@example.com.
In recent years, the differing and overlapping experiences of men and women in situations of armed conflict have garnered significant international attention. Such attention results from the confluence of multiple factors including greater visibility of the violations experienced by women in times of war; the increasing reliance by UN member states on gendered violations as a basis for justifying multi-national humanitarian interventions; and greater exposure of the broader social, economic and cultural effects on women of inter-state and intra-state armed conflict.
A new collection of essays edited by University of Iowa's Elizabeth D. Heineman, Sexual Violence in Conflict Zones: From the Ancient World to the Era of Human Rights (University of Pennsylvania Press 2011), provides a historical perspective on these issues. Written almost exclusively by historians, the 14 essays survey an outstanding array of sites, ranging from ancient Greece to medieval England, from the American Revolution and pre-colonial warfare in Tanzania to the Bangladeshi war, from ancient warfare to World War II. A final essay addresses how far legal approaches to sexual violence have come—and how much farther they need to go. Read more about the collection here.

Hidenori Watanave Laboratory at Tokyo Metropolitan University launched тАЬThe Hiroshima Atomic Bomb ArchiveтАЭ that is a pluralistic digital archive of Hiroshima Atomic Bombing using Google Earth.
Online PR News – 17-July-2011 – – - What isтАЬThe Hiroshima Atomic Bomb ArchiveтАЭ?
тАЬHiroshima ArchiveтАЭ is a pluralistic digital archive using the digital virtual globe "Google EarthтАЭ to display on it in a multilayered way all the materials gained from such sources as the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum, the Hiroshima Jogakuin Gaines Association, and the Hachioji Hibakusha (A-bomb Survivors) Association. Beyond time and space, the user can get a panoramic view over Hiroshima to browse survivorsтАЩ accounts, photos, maps, and other materials as of 1945, together with aerial photos, 3D topographical data, and building models as of 2010. The archive aims to promote multifaceted and comprehensive understanding of the reality of atomic bombing.
Official website (English and Japanese)
- Concept
It has been 66 years since atomic bombs were dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and all the remaining A-bomb survivors will have died out in the coming decades. This means that those people who from their own experience have the strongest desire for peace and a nuclear-free world will be lost. Extending the mission of the тАЬNagasaki ArchiveтАЭ, which was published on the web in 2010, the тАЬHiroshima ArchiveтАЭ has been produced by melding a large amount of materials accumulated over 66 years with the latest Internet technologies, with a view to passing on the experiences and messages of A-bomb survivors to future generations.
- Community of Memories
We collected A-bomb survivorsтАЩ accounts in cooperation with local high school students and nationwide volunteers and created a тАЬCommunity of RecordsтАЭ through developing a collection of memories. We will also create an online community by using social media, such as Twitter, to collect from all over the world messages of hope for peace and nuclear abolition and incorporate them into the digital archive. We aim to make the archive a platform to gather the threads of stories for the future by sharing the past memories and the present messages in both real and web spaces.
- Beyond 311
On March 11, 2011, the Great East Japan Earthquake occurred, and among those who suffered the disaster in Sendai, Miyagi Prefecture, was one of the members of the Hiroshima Archive Production Committee. The earthquake and tsunami completely destroyed the local peopleтАЩs beloved towns, and the following nuclear reactor accident brought the scourge of radioactive substances, putting an end to normal life. Since the March 11th earthquake, the mission of this project, which aimed originally to pass on the 66-year-old story of Hiroshima to future generations, has also undergone a change: тАЬLearn about past tragedies, feel involved, and hand them down to future generations in your own words.тАЭ We hope that our Archive will be used by many people.

Arsenal midfielder Francis Coquelin might miss the rest of 2015 due to an injury setback. The French midfielder suffered a knee injury during Saturday's 2-1 defeat by West Bromwich Albion.
24 year old Coquelin fell awkwardly after a sliding challenge on Claudio Yacob.
Coquelin has undergone scans to access the extent of his injury and tests have revealed substantial ligament damage.
However, the Gunners' medical team said that they will wait for the swelling to fully subside before conducting further examinations on Coquelin's injured knee. Only then they will conduct a definitive diagnosis on his injury.
But according to some reports there are speculations that the 24 year old might struggle to play again this calendar year.
The fear is that Coquelin could also miss the opening weeks of 2016. News of the injury comes as a cruel blow to manager Arsene Wenger, who is already in the midst of an injury crisis.
Coquelin has established himself as the club's first-choice defensive central midfielder over the past 12 months.
Wenger now will have to enter the January transfer market for a new holding midfielder though it is likely that the Gunners boss will wait for the outcome of further tests on Coquelin's injured joint before coming to a decision.
Injury seems to have clouded Arsenal and now the Arsenal manager is facing the central midfield selection dilemma ahead of Tuesday's Champions League clash against Dinamo Zagreb.
Captain Mikel Arteta sustained a calf injury in the defeat at The Hawthorns and is also set for a spot on the sidelines.
Aaron Ramsey is fit again after a hamstring strain and likely to be handed an instant return in his preferred central midfield role against Dinamo.
Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, who can also play in central midfield, is also on the road to recovery.
Saturday's clash between Arsenal and West Brom was full of miss and blows.
Midfielder James Morrison scored the first goal for West Brom. However, Arsenal midfielder Mikel Arteta accidentally scoring an own goal proved too costly for the Gunners.
Olivier Giroud opened the scoring for Arsenal with a glancing header in the 28th minute.
