Cap Taillat -a hidden gem??
December in the South of France can be a really good month to explore coastal trails –weather permitting of course. This winter has been exceptionally rainy in Var and Alpes Maritimes departments. We were therefore very lucky to have clear skies and a windless morning when exploring the southern tip of St Tropez peninsula. Having earlier hiked the coastal trail from Cap Camarat to L'Escalene and back, we now decided to start from L'Escalene in order to continue the trail further west.
After the intervention by the retired mayor of Ramatuelle, the land around Cap Taillat was acquired by conservatoire du littoral as Club Med had in the 70´s plans to build a holiday resort comprising 400 bungalows on the site.
Cap Taillat (or Cap Cartaya in some maps) is renowned for its unique flora and fauna. Guides list over 80 species of birds, 71 of which are protected, the Hermann's tortoise etc. The fragile ecosystem was disturbed by unfortunate fires in 2006 and 2007 although no clear visible marks were seen six years later.
The trail from L'Escalene is well marked (yellow) and actually divides into two trails; the lower being a bit more rocky. Both merge again before Cap Taillat. Keep in mind that this is just a small part of the whole coastal trail in this region. We tried to reach the very end of the Cap itself but the eastern trail became very steep and narrow, and on the other side the vegetation was very dense. On the Google map, even this path is clearly visible.
In Cap Taillat, you are immediately in harmony with the nature. We hope that this short video clip could transmit at least a fraction of the tranquility and beauty one can experience here.
Further info about the hike in English can be found for example here

2018 Events
The PCA have participated at the following events in 2018.
Chelsea Flower Show 2018 – Discovery Zone
Tuesday 22nd – Saturday 26th May 2018
London Gate, Royal Hospital Chelsea, London, SW3 4SR
The Property Care Association's Invasive Weed Control Group will be exhibiting in the 'Discovery Zone' in the Great Pavilion.
"The Enemy Within – Managing Invasive Plants"
Visitors are invited to the PCA exhibit in the Discovery Zone at Chelsea Flower Show 2018. Experts will deliver a 'weed clinic' providing advice to aid identification, understand and manage those invasive non-native plants, desired and undesired, found in gardens. Many such plants are damaging or threaten to damage our ecosystems, from rivers to railways, brought to Europe by horticulturalists for gardens and ornamental ponds.
Part of the story is well-known: large numbers "escaped" the garden wall, now part of our flora, a few of which have become invasive. Part is yet to unfold: some escapees will become invasive and plants in our gardens today could join them.
The exhibit will deliver scientific insights and education about these plants. Understanding how to identify the offenders, assess risk, explore reasons for success, impacts and management necessary to deal with them will help gardeners and horticulturalists adopt responsible and proactive approaches to managing the serious challenges posed, a significant part of the PCA's aims.
Some of the invasive plants that will be incorporated into the display include:
- Japanese Knotweed
- Giant Hogweed
- Field Horsetail
- Montbretia
- Buddleia
- Japanese Rose
- Bamboo

The Nation's Longest Operating Speak Present About Computers And Know-how!
Participants' certificates will probably be provided for all the contributors on the valedictory. Dimensions for this desk are fifty three.6 x fifty one.3 x 28.three and it weighs around 70 kilos when fully constructed. The meeting on this one is fairly easy for rookies and should take aorund 1 hour. From what I perceive the simulation speculation is supported by mathematics however isn't science. It's not falsifiable from my understanding, it does not make any predictions which might yield a real or false discovery, it does not reveal something new concerning the universe. It does indicate a multiverse for my part.
Refinements have included putting a number of platters—10 or extra—in a single disk drive, with a pair of R/W heads for the 2 surfaces of each platter with the intention to improve storage and data switch rates. Even larger positive aspects have resulted from bettering management of the radial motion of the disk arm from track to track, leading to denser distribution of knowledge on the disk. By 2002 such densities had reached over eight,000 tracks per centimetre (20,000 tracks per inch), and a platter the diameter of a coin may hold over a gigabyte of knowledge. In 2002 an 80-gigabyte disk price about $200—only one ten-millionth of the 1955 price and representing an annual decline of almost 30 %, much like the decline in the value of primary reminiscence.
This designation is given by the Canadian Information Processing Society (CIPS), the nationwide affiliation of IT professionals, which is also accountable for the analysis and accreditation of the Bachelor of Pc Science programs in Canada as well as the code of ethics for IT professionals in Canada. The designation is awarded to Carleton graduates following two years of skilled employment. No extra exams are required.
Participants should deliver their faculty ID card and bonafied certificates from Head of the establishment / Division. Most fashionable IPS panel fashions are made on this format with horizontal IPS pixels organized in vertical traces. But, XP is no longer supported by Microsoft, so XP is not an excellent working system for looking the online, or connecting to a network with web entry or with COMPUTER which you don't control because XP is no longer being supported by Microsoft.
Two major strategies used by attackers in pharming are host file modification and DNS Cache Poisoning. Let's understand in additional element how these two methods are actually used in pharming. The word vishing" is a mix of two phrases voice" and phishing". On this method, attackers use telephone system to do phishing and therefore the name. It has gotten worse since Dubya was elected! The US adopted the Texas example of teaching the children to cross checks as a substitute of truly studying what the solutions mean! Our school books are even corrupted with creationism in some states! It's a tragedy, after all!

Energy Disruptors Unite 2018: Andrew Scobie presents GRID 2.0 The Electricity Grid - Reset, Re-Balanced…Re-Imagined
Speech Notes
15 May 2018
- I am Australian; I come from your future. That isn't a good thing
- In the last few years, Australia has crashed its grid 5 times as it has pushed the system to unsustainable levels of renewables
- Australia has gone from having a competitive advantage in energy to the most expensive in the OECD; it has become one of the least reliable and most emitting energy systems
- Globally, electricity systems are failing
- Today's great economic and environmental challenges cannot possibly be resolved with the 19th century electricity architecture
- Right now people's hopes and dreams are being constrained by the energy system's limitations
- Energy is literally the ubiquitous input to everything, and constraining access to it is neither rational nor fair. In fact, increasing the cost of energy is deeply regressive impacting the poorest most
- Almost everyone agrees a new way forward needs to be found
- That future could be one of greater constraints and costs reducing growth and prosperity
- Or we can have a world of human flourishing where we can easily, cheaply and cleanly harness the energy we need
- This is not an aspiration, it is not a dream, it is a practical choice available to us today
- The biggest and most sophisticated machine in human history didn't appear out of nowhere
- It was built on values: cooperation, trust and progress. Values of the Enlightenment
- The Grid unlocked the greatest economic gains in human history by allowing us to empower our technology. Lifting billions from premodernity's grinding poverty
- Before we rush to cast it aside, lets first explore why Grid 1.0 matters
- It is the central nervous system of our economy
- Today, I am blessed to live in Edinburgh. The center of what was the Scottish Enlightenment
- The insights of Adam Smith and David Hume as they witnessed the last great clash of Absolute monarchy with rational modernity
- Sparked the scientific enquiry that lead from Michael Faraday and James Clerk Maxwell to William Stanley
- The Grid: the great engineering triumph of the twentieth century is now turning out to be a poor fit for the future
- The hub and spoke grid is a rigid, passive, one way delivery system, that must prioritise system stability
- Centrally controlled, it is balanced volumetrically as it attempts to maintain stability and is simply unable to prioritize cost to the consumer
- Historically electrons and inertia were provided as a bundle, by large principally coal fired generators at the center of the system
- The limits of the Grid 1.0 are our greatest energy constraint. Is that a big deal?
- Fundamental Grid innovation stopped 137 years ago when William Stanley invented today's transformer
- The transformer enabled an AC network to efficiently transport a stable electrical signal from generator to your door, transforming our world
- Our values have changed, but the grid has not
- And yet the grid remains the indispensable central nervous system of our economic and social order
- The UK Government calculates that if the power is out for 3 days social order breaks down
- Grid 1.0 delivered on its design scope, meeting the values and enabling the hopes and dreams of previous generations
- Now, Grid 1.0 is being asked to handle variable renewable energy, transport electrons and to balance supply demand in a decentralised world that is increasingly unpredictable
- All while remaining rigid, passive and fragile
- But the Grid was only intended to be transportation for an energy system with huge spinning generators at its center providing the essential inertia that stabilised that system
- In pursuit of our values and ambitions we have crammed the grid full of volatile renewables, and increasingly unpredictable demand, while removing the stabilising central generators
- Consequence is we are increasingly spending more on balancing costs and expensive Band-Aids that only address symptoms. We are constantly chasing our tail
- Right now, we are at an historic junction point. The decisions we make about the future of energy could lock us into a path for a century to come
- While some of us could go off grid, we can't all go off grid and maintain a viable society
- If those who could afford to, defect, industry that depends on cheap reliable energy and those least able will be left bearing the cost of our essential nervous system
- They and we can't afford that. We are going to have a grid, it is just a matter of good or bad
- So now, we are left with a positive or negative vision for the future grid
- Today, most technical advances in energy remain focused on addressing symptoms
- Grid 2.0 is no more than yesterday's grid with layers of complexity and fragility added on. We can attempt to out run a storm with an ancient centrally controlled technology. But we are unlikely to succeed.
- Or we can look to the greatest machine of the 20th century - the Internet
- We have an opportunity to reimagine the grid according to modern values and make it future proof. Not simply update Grid 1.0 to version 2
- Grid 2.0 will continue to suffer from central command and control problems. It will reduce future choices
- Imagine instead the Grid as a platform for Smart Cities, EVs, domestic prosumers competing as suppliers of energy. Competing so well they don't need to be subsidised
- The grid as an endless platform for innovation
- The Internet of Energy - decentralised control and permissionless innovation
- The internet creates an evolving space for innovation, cheaper prices and greater security
- The Faraday Grid is the internet of energy
- A system of decentralised control that puts the grid at the centre of our energy system
- Built on Faraday Exchangers, they provide the inertia that allows it to be agnostic to the nature of supply and demand
- dynamically balancing power flow, voltage, power factor, and phase, it removes all harmonics
- A plug and play device it drops in to Grid 1.0 replacing transformers, just as we dropped routers in to create the internet without disturbing the telephone system
- As we demonstrated at our 2017 launch we can double the amount of renewables while reducing the cost of energy to consumers
- Faraday Grid comes preloaded with Emergent
- Emergent is a transactive grid protocol that will enable consumers, utilities, disruptors and generators to buy and sell energy at the lowest marginal price
- Faraday Grid is an energy system that enables rather than constrains human ambition
- It carries price signals that tell us when and where it is valuable to produce, store and consume energy – now we can price energy as a service rather than as a commodity
- Our future doesn't need to be more fragile, expensive and vulnerable
- We can have a low carbon future of greater prosperity and human choice
- This isn't a vision, it is a reality that Faraday Grid are taking forward with our partners including global utilities, renewable generators, storage providers and disruptors around the world
- We would welcome you on that journey
Andrew Scobie presented at Energy Disruptors Unite 2018 on May 15.

Mossberg and Jobs, part 2
Nothing earth-shattering but nonetheless important reading.
Mossberg: I was reading a trade publication that had an annual ranking of consumer electronics retailers, and I was amazed to see that you're like number 23 in terms of consumer electronics salesǃÓbigger than a number of other well-known consumer electronics retailers. Was that your intention or was it primarily to promote your brand?
Jobs: Our intention was very simple: All of our competitors sell the same products. They're all designed by the same company in Taiwan, so at the point of distribution, you don't have to know very much to sell them. You don't have to be able to explain them, because they're all the same; you just have to be able to point to the ones where your company gets more in gross margin, and we can't thrive in that environment.
We innovate, and let's say we've got a dozen major breakthroughs a year: we can advertise three or four of them; if we do more the consumer thinks we're a little nuts. So the rest of them have to be delivered at the point of sale. The competence level is getting less at the point of sale. It is impossible to get knowledge at the point of sale.
We wanted to make the best buying experience in the world, because this was at the beginning of the digital hub revolution that we saw with digital photography, digital music, and everything else.

While other vendors push new storage solutions to the market, Fujitsu- Siemens Computers (FSC) thinks it has developed a more intelligent approach to the data centre - one that could actually require less hardware. Its concept, the Dynamic Data Centre (DDC), sees components working better together to deliver more efficient backup.
"DDC is our vision of how to run a data centre," says Dr Helmut Beck, vice president, storage, FSC.
"Unfortunately it is sometimes far away from reality. If you look at the data centres today you see a lot of heterogeneity, and complexity caused by this heterogeneity."
FSC aims to change that. "We support mainframes, Unix,Windows and proprietary systems. You can really attach all of your devices to a CentricStor appliance and get rid of that heterogenous environment."
The vendor has also made efforts to ensure its environment integrates with tape backups. "We are the only ones to have that heterogeneity and have that heterogenous tape storage consolidation," says Beck.
"With CentricStor we make tape fit for ILM (Information Lifecycle Management). The way to do that is to have attributes attached to groups of logical volumes. ILM means you implement differing service levels and map them on your technology."
One problem in the data centre, according to Beck, is that storage is divided into discrete areas, rather than being considered as a whole, leading to lots of independent silo architectures and an inefficient management system.
"Typically this application has very fixed, assigned static storage resources," he says. "Even if you have a big EMC or Hitachi box, you still have fixed capacity for storage.
It's very difficult for companies who need more storage. One of the consequences is because the budgets of IT departments are not growing much, they spend more and more of their budgets just operating and maintaining that environment."
This is something FSC wants to change. "Our vision is completely different to that," says Beck. "You have a certain amount of storage and resources. You can dynamically assign these resources to the services - the applications - according to the services you want and the SLAs you have with customers. You typically need a couple of technologies."
He believes virtualisation is key to a variety of service levels and using resources efficiently. "This typically gives you a logical view of what you have. You have a number of real hard drives, but if you look at that through virtualisation you have a greater number of logical drives. By mapping such things you get the impression you have more resources. You do more with less, but you don't see the real hardware anymore.
"Many customers do their backup not in a disaster tolerant way but just in one place," he says. Again, FSC has a possible solution. "You can split one CentricStor into two sides, so you have a completely disaster tolerant solution.
"Even if one side completely goes down you still have access to the other side and can completely restore your data. The next layer is automation. You need to assign according to service levels. You also need complete integration. Not every application is able to deal with such an environment, but all the big ISVs know this is the technology of the future and have made changes."
Beck believes that the process of backing up data needs to change.
"Many of the backups in a data centre don't work. They often fail. Customers spend a lot of money on buying more tape drives and libraries.
"The time windows for backup are shrinking. People want 24/7 availability; they don't have the time to stop operations for backup. You want faster access to backup throughput. You want to stop buying all these tape drives you hardly use. You want better utilisation of the media. You want a reduction in physical devices, better utilisation of floor space, and improved availability."
John Warnants, technology and services director, Egenera, agrees that IT managers need to make wiser hardware investments when it comes to the data centre. "If you look at the average technology usage, the financial director would think that was an appalling use of IT. It's like if every time the building gets 15% full, you buy another building."
FSC is hoping to deliver better virtualisation through its BladeFrame system powered by Egenera. While FSC considered developing its own product, that route would take too long to reach the standard Egenera's products were achieving.
"They are the only company that is not only talking dynamic IT, they are delivering it," says Beck. "It's a little bit more than an OEM agreement, it's a partnership." The partnership is worth around US$300 million and the two companies will conduct joint R&D to further develop the DDC concept.
Standard Chartered Bank is one company to have implemented BladeFrame and seen results. The bank moved its highest criticality application, its global retail banking system, to BladeFrame, having previously run it on a mainframe platform and redeveloped it using IBM WebSphere and DB2.
"The system stands alone among X86 platforms in its ability to separate the identity of a server from its capacity," says Jan Verplancke, CIO, group head of technology and operations, Standard Chartered Bank.
"Before Egenera we were unable to source hardware at the high end of the stack that supported multiple environments. Instead we were locked into proprietary platforms to meet the requirements of our mission critical apps. The system delivers a combination of resiliency, cost-effectiveness and flexibility ideally suited to our vision," he adds.
Now the bank's storage system meets its needs and caters for any eventuality.Verplancke believes it offers the lowest cost, least risk choice, with the most flexibility, and means there is one less headache when planning business growth.
"Now when we're deciding whether to open a bank in a given country, technology is not on the critical path," he says.

God Wants You to Serve Other People
The church is a gathering of servants.
Could you imagine a family where some of the members are never invited to make a contribution? A few lead, some follow, and others are just there. Enjoying but never contributing.
Sure you can. It's called a family with infants.
The church is like a family, full of people at different levels of maturity. And there are guests. Not everyone is called to serve all of the time. Yet the one who can must orient himself outward. It's their privilege and an act of obedience. We follow our master, who lived as a servant for us.
We follow the Greatest Servant.
Go here to learn more about how you could serve on a ministry team. There's no pressure. We're not in the business of filling positions and keeping you busy. We want to equip you to fulfill your calling as a disciple.

My family, maternity and newborns sessions start at €300 Incl. VAT. You can contact me for more information.
My wedding packages start at €500 Incl. VAT.
I create something honest, beautiful and unforgettable, my focus during our session are to create images full of heart, connection, movement and life. I connect with each person and capture that something that makes them unique and special. I take my time and tell your story.
Business and Branding
Telling your story in an easy to navigate way can be a very powerful marketing tool for your business. This is a relaxed and fun photo session where I capture the heart of your business and tell your story. I follow you for 2-3 hours and document a typical day in the life of your business. The things that make you different and special. Whatever you want me to document I will. We can work together to show the world what you're all about.
This is such a beautiful time in your life. Your pregnancy is worth documenting, even if it is your third or fourth child. These sessions are held in your home, or in one of your family's favorite places. I document your life as it is right now- so one day your child can look back and see what your life was like- and what YOU were like while you were awaiting their arrival.
I believe newborns are perfect just the way they are and that is how I like to photograph them. Newborn sessions are done at home in your natural, comfortable surroundings. Families are included in these sessions. I do a little bit of posing, but mostly take pictures while you do your thing. I know that feedings, spit ups and diaper changes are a common occurrence with newborns, I make enough time available so that these sessions are very relaxed and flexible. Please keep baby's clothes simple (no logos, big pictures etc) Either a cotton swaddle or a simple/beautiful baby-grow looks beautiful and timeless. These sessions are relaxed with the focus on simplicity, connection and storytelling. I capture newborns natural and honestly.
I photograph families in their favourite places, doing their favourite things. I love doing family sessions and find it really important to do these at least once a year. Children grow up so fast and it is worth capturing these memories of your family. I connect with each person and capture that something that makes them unique and special. With my own two boys constantly running away from my camera, pulling faces, I am now an expert at making a fool of myself to get babies and toddlers to connect with me. My portrait sessions are all about capturing those moments of connection. Little newborn's yawning, baby snuggles, chunky baby legs, toddler curls blowing in the wind. Capturing the emotion present through it all. So that when you see the images, you're brought back to authentic moments that mean something to you. The ones you have everyday that melt you. The moments that show who you are and only need direction, not posing. These sessions take place at a location of your choice- whether that's in your home (which I love) or at one of your family's favourite places. The images tell your unique story and are built around your favourite routines or traditions. I get to hang out with you for a few hours, get to know you, and capture your life as it naturally unfolds.
I can capture your special day for you. I spend time with you, your family and friends and capture all of your special memories.
My sessions start at €500 Incl. VAT. You can contact me for more information.

Meester's "I confused this place for an Anime site" Anime of the Year 2018
By MeesterO 2 Comments
Alright we are back for Round 2
So with the conclusion of Goblin Slayer (since it was a week delayed from everything else), I hearby dub this season of Anime over, the Fall Lineup is "over" (excluding ongoing series), and we're full on our way to Winter 2019. This is the period where we are no longer allowed to talk about what happened in Fall because soon we will be bombarded by atleast 249 new shows debuting at the same time and nobody has time for any of that shit. Except for now, where I'm going to take the time to go back over the recent year of really good shows to share what I thought was great, sucked, and was FranXX'd (Seriously, this blog is going to get very messy when we reach that point). THERE WILL BE SPOILERS AHEAD IF YOU ARE INSANE ENOUGH TO GO BACK INTO THE ENDLESS BACKLOG OF SEASONAL ANIME, YOU'VE BEEN WARNED.
SO Without further adeu, we start off with:
Alright so Last Period (Which was actually mentioned in my Game of the Year Blog... for some reason) is a relatively... "unknown" gacha game that I only found out about through the anime. The Anime naturally should be about the epic story of the characters you see in the game on the quest to do what you do in the game. Alright so Last Period's anime does none of that. Last Period, instead of wasting its time trying to sell you on the game most of the time (Like Granblue's bullshit) through a serious trek through the actual game story, it decides to... literally take the piss out of gacha games, cultural phenomena within japan, and also for some reason... CERTAIN SHOUTOUTS TO RIDICULOUS ANIME INDUSTRY CONTROVERSY.
Episode 7 is literally a gigantic retelling of the Kemono Friends scandal that Kadokawa managed to orchestrate. Using the Last Period characters, and them dramatizing the actual real life events (albeit a bit exaggerated). The main characters visit one of the party's hometown and take a tour via an extremely popular tour guide that everyone absolutely loves and adores. Shortly after said tour guide has been fired from his position after all the love and dedication given to him by... everyone, for absolutely no reason (on the surface). Chaos spreads as everyone goes on about their own way to try and convince the Mayor to let the damn tour guide keep his job, even going so far as multiple parties starting petitions, and summoning 5* characters from the actual game to sign said petitions. Its later revealed by the mayor (due to one of the summoned characters talking sense into him) to reveal the reason why he fired the tour guide in the first place and then decides not to fire him (He fires him because he doesn't understand what taking a vacation means). Everyone keeps their jobs, and everything ends happily... The actual series of events that this show jabs at does not end the same way, and even calls them out on it.
This episode is weird, this show is bonkers, and there are plenty of dumb enjoyable episodes just like this one. Yet this one just sticks out as the showcase episode for me in this oddball show because of how deep it was willing to go with its cuts. Relentless. I couldn't stop laughing the entire time. If this caught your interest at all, then I'm glad to say that there's plenty more like this within the show, it was definitely a dark horse during its spring run.
RUNNER UP: ZOMBIE LAND SAGA Episode 8 – Go Go Neverland SAGA
Essentially this episode is the point where Lily is revealed to be a trans girl, and it goes into depth how she died and her life before becoming one of the Zombie Idols of this weird collection of girls. It's pretty emotional and I didn't expect it to hit me in the ways it did because I myself do not relate to the situation, nor can I ever, but it was a really good episode. I cannot do it justice within a small mention.
The caption honestly sums this one up... Man. It wasn't even impossible to adapt this show, it would have been kind of limited in scope (maybe less limited than what we got but still). I easily dropped this in favor of the manga after the anime atleast sold me on the concept of the property, which is overall still the way to go about experiencing this fantastic IP. As I started reading ahead and watching too (I dunno if they decided to catch back up with some concepts) but early on you would have never gotten the impression that Sugimoto was dealing with a lot of pre-war PTSD moments that were shown in multiple flashbacks while in the anime those scenes played out without even a mention of these flashbacks.
Friends have also told me that the adaptation has just straight up cut out entire story arcs, and a lot of the silly little attentions to detail are just gone like facial expressions and the cooking. I don't think I will ever go back to the anime personally, as this show along with Made in Abyss (mostly due to there just not being enough Made in Abyss to consume at any given time) has reignited my love for reading manga... Also what the fuck man, why did this show have to get mauled by a bad CGI bear.
Seriously, this one is a waste of time, and it doesn't take home the prize mostly... because it never had a shot in the first place. Deserves a mention though, that first fight with the Personas was crap, and what seemed to be the actual soul of the game was gone. It had no Style man, and without style, P5 is an even bigger mess.
That ending track though was hot, for real.
Guys, I love Yu-Gi-Oh, and I probably will never stop loving Yu-Gi-Oh. I will never play the card game again but I love watching youtube videos about what people think about it. I also love to rewatch old episodes of literally every arc up until I think the arc before VRAINS... I don't really know what happens post 5Ds... or most of what happens in 5Ds. All I know is that throughout the entire year I have tried to sit down and watch this show, and... I keep playing Granblue instead.
This show is not bad guys, honest its just I just can't keep up with it while I multitask because holy shit theres alot going on per duel... I will get through VRAINS one day, but for now its just going to be picked apart episode by episode until I eventually watch it fully to completion. Maybe I'll finish by the time the arc after VRAINS is done so I don't have to watch that one. Also like... the main characters name is fucking Playmaker. PLAYMAKER. If that doesn't say you're losing this fucking duel then I don't know what it takes anymore.
Pretty much everything I said about VRAINS in the first paragraph... Even the Granblue part... mostly fell off because this came out around the same time as the actual collab? And I got distracted and also had other shows to watch. I'll get back to you Sakura... maybe if Winter 2019 has nothing.
Okay so Thunderbolt Fantasy suffers from the same problems that I have with VRAINS but instead of watching through it like an episode every three months I never actually start episode 1. Everything I've seen about this show is sick, hilarious, awesome. I fucking love puppets. I will eventually watch this one day maybe. For now though it just sits in my Queue... as more seasons get Greenlit and it gets much bigger...
I mean not all is lost, I didnt get obsessed with Jojo until like midway into part 3 being aired and i marathon'd the entire series after seeing Zappelli punch a frog so softly that he made the rock underneath it crack. All it takes is that one moment when I actually see the episode, and then I'm lost.
I don't like Sword Art Online. I shouldn't like Gun Gale Online. I came out of Gun Gale Online now completely hating Sword Art Online. Mostly hopped up on memories of MMO Junkie (YES ITS NOT THE SAME THING AT ALL, YES I KNOW ABOUT THE GUY WHO MADE IT), I was softened... up to this idea a bit I guess. I don't normally like Isekai at all, but I make my exceptions, I'm a man of simple tastes. I like Overlord, I like Konosuba, I like this show. All oddly share kind of the same reasons why I like the show. Yes I'm human garbage I won't deny that.
All due seriousness though, yes this show is not without its flaws or its bad CGI near the end, but man there were a lot of good shootouts, the show came out around the height of the PUBG balloon so I was super sold on the this pink soldier loli going around kicking literal elementary school kid ass in a videogame. The later story bits are kind of insane and mostly driven by the antics of an insane person who just so happens to be the one person that the main character LLENN adores in real life... then more weird shit happens, there's a laser sword, I'm told the laser sword is from SAO... I dunno, I had fun. Honestly, isn't that what... anime... is SUPPOSED to be about?
Okay so most of Cygames outings this year seemed to come out of a random draw (AAAAAAAYYYYYY) from a hat and whatever two concepts they pulled out... that's what they make a show about... except the second concept was always "Idols" apparently. Case in point, their first outing with this idea being... the girls are Race Horses. Yet while Umamusume proceeded to dominate BD sales over the actual "Popular" shows like Violet Evergarden and... the OTHER show, by being an outlet to buy really cheap Granblue items normally valued at hundreds of dollars for the LOW LOW PRICE OF 120 USD. Zombie Land Saga just decided to exist as a show about Zombies... and the zombie girls are also idols.
Nothing about this show should work, but somehow Cygames, the thing they just threw together without developing a game for in the process *coughcoughthehorsegamewasdelayedintonextyearcoughcough*, turned out to be their surprise hit. A show with a ludicrous plot, carried by its superb comedy writing, and vocal talent (honestly that reminds me of another show near and dear to my heart), it also boasted one of the best episodes of the year revolving around the littlest member of the idol group... I cried. I don't know if they had more planned, or had a gacha game now in the works for this... all I know is that I will eventually want more Zombie Land SAGA. I fell in love with this cast of characters. I love Saki being this 90's ass punk kid with a fixation on Tamogachi, I love Lily because its a character you normally don't see that often being treated like a serious manner, I love Tae because... well... yeah. Also you really can't go without acknowledging the mad performance that Mamoru Miyano gives as his character Kotaro, the fucking insane producer of this zombie idol group, who just... literally is having the time of his life.
Theres laughter, tears, and overall enjoyment throughout this show. It arguably is way better than it had any right to be. It also has a sick ass opening that in all honesty is about as zany as the show itself. Give this one a watch, I can't recommend it enough.
Last Period doesn't win this mostly because I gave it Best Episode over Zombie Land, and all honesty I enjoyed Zombie Land more as it came from nothing, where as Last Period came from I could believe this property was from a fake game... but its real. STILL check both of them out if you get the chance.
...*coughcough* Okay with all seriousness this was a super hard year for Openings... fuck even the worst show of the entire year has one of the best openings of the bunch... Yet there's just something about Goblin Slayer's opening that just speaks to me. It says... alot of broken english and nonsense, but it's the WAY its said that makes me go like "YEAH LETS KILL SOME GOBLINS AND NOT HORRIBLY DIE MAYBE"
Also like I can't really fit Goblin Slayer any other way into these awards mostly because I wouldn't call it the "best" adaptation or anything, but man this fucking show got me to read the manga and maybe even the LN in the future, I can't stop thinking about it... and there's atleast one show that is better than it that came out this year. So I give it best opening, I can't stop listening to it, much like the other ones that were so good, but it fits the tone of the show so well and its just, good.
RUNNERS UP... THERES A COUPLE OF THEM (links because im not embedding a thousand youtube videos)
... DARLING IN THE FRANXX - (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mzJqxT1UGho) (Franxx... we're not going into it now but yes, if I was giving an award out for an entire OST, it would go to... this fucking show, its only strong point)
SAO: GGO - (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O1RMnM782u8) It rips... atleast for me it did
LAST BUT NOT LEAST: SSSS.GRIDMAN - (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vd-1FWppNTA) This shit is more hype than You Say Run... atleast for me. GRIDMAN does not win this category because...
Youthful Beautiful... is the best ending out of the entire year... AGAIN, at least for me. This is the only other anime song I've listened to nonstop as soon as I heard it play after the first episode... and it just hooks me. It's a great song to cap off of watching just about any of the episodes, it always got me pumped to wait for the next episode week after week.
BEST CHARACTER: Kotaro Tatsumi - Zombie Land SAGA
It's really hard to pick one character from the entire cast of this show, but in terms of raw energy and performance none of them quite hit the same level as the eccentric producer that runs the idol zombie group Franchouchou. Right from the get go his bombastic personality is what drives the group into doing early shows that devolve into headbanging death metal concerts, a pretty sick rap battle, and really really misguided PR stunts that include doing a commercial for a local fried chicken restaurant. Almost none of his plans work out in the logical sense, but still manage to accomplish a sense of progression for the group. Whenever something questions his intent, he always reaffirms his dominance over the situation by going on incredibly hilarious and insane tangents, and he's really REALLY good at saying the word "Go".
If you removed Kotaro from the show, quite honestly we probably wouldn't even be talking about it right now.
Anti - SSSS.GRIDMAN
I thought Anti's character arc throughout the entire 12 episode run was one of the best of the year. His transformation from run of the mill kaiju villain to cool guy kaiju with the heart of a human was paced reasonably well. His desire to kill Gridman because that's what he was born to do to becoming an actual Gridman, still fostering the rivalry with the character himself but gaining the want to help people. He was given a whole lot more depth than he ever really needed, and it's not wasted.
Honda-san is merely a relatable retail worker, to me at least. He tends to get a lot of people who come in expecting him to know exactly what they want because he simply works there. He has is specialties but doesn't know everything, and then fights social anxiety trying to give them the best experience possible. I've probably have found more depth in him than I was supposed to given this is a 10 minute runtime show, but it's an endearing show to me, and also hilarious where others find it hard to watch because of the "cringe" factor.
If you liked that clip... thats the entire show. So you either get to enjoy MORE of it, or, you've seen everything that you have needed to and don't need anymore of it! It truly is Anime of the Year 2018.
The "Hey, don't fucking watch this"
(I have rewritten this part of the blog almost 4 times now, I have too much negativity to say about this show that it turns into one long tangent that still manages to not fully say what I want it to say)
Darling in the FranXX is very much a show that should have had it all. Within the first two episodes you had a mysterious world filled with intrigue, a cast of colorful characters with many varied personalities. The lines were never set in stone with who you thought were against the main characters, the show honestly kept you guessing who you were supposed to root against. The totalitarian government that the kid pilots were born to serve or the giant kaiju robots that were actually destroying everything the government was trying to hold together. Not only that, Zero Two honestly had the best character design out of the entire year of there being characters created or adapted for their shows.
This show stops being enjoyable around episode 4 when it throws off the facade of it being about giant robots fighting other robots, and it heavily leans on manufactured character dramas and love quadrangles. The second half introduces so many goddamn subplots with absolutely no time to develop any of them. It tries to say important things about human life, transhumanism, the importance of individuality, and of course the continuation of breeding as a species. All the while bringing up these topics and having nothing of substance to actually say about them, aside from the breeding as a species because the ENTIRE second half is devoted to two of the teens getting it on and getting married... and they weren't even the main couple.
In the end Darling in the FranXX is a worthless show not worth yours, mine, or anyones time. It squanders the raw potential it had with really poor writing, a terrible attention to its own worlds detail in both the first and second half. It had THE one moment of the year where it spiraled the fanbase to write death threats to everyone that WASN'T involved with how one single episode was written. I never want to think about this show again, I wasted 12 hours of my life that I will never get back because I was so curious and dumbfounded about this show that I believed TRIGGER could pull it out in the end with some sort of miraculous ridiculous stunt. They couldn't, and I was left wondering if I could give TRIGGER the benefit of the doubt ever again. This collaboration of A1 and TRIGGER, for me, will go down as one of the worst anime shows to be made in the last decade... Don't fucking watch this.
Which is why it surprised me that The Best Show of the Year was...
TRIGGER HAD FINALLY DONE IT, THEY HAD SAVED ANIME. From what? THEMSELVES. (Ha ha, I didn't come up with that joke). Yes, SSSS.Gridman is the collaboration product by the People who make Ultraman, and the people who brought you classics such as Inferno Cop and Ninja Slayer (specifically the director attached to this project). These people came together to not only put out a show I shouldn't nearly have such an affinity for, but all the while doing everything right that... the OTHER show tried to do, but succeeds in full force. Even weirder that Gridman manages to accomplish so much more than FranXX could with having only half of the episode count.
Every week during the Fall Season I made it a habit to always watch Gridman before my Jojo, my Goblin Slayer, my Zombie Idols (since it aired on a different day and only binged everything on Saturday), I was so entrapped with how the story was slowly being rolled out, the sense of mystery and intrigue always permeated the entire series. You found out important story bits piece by piece in a logical manner rather than a massive info dump that nearly destroys the entire world you have built up. Once again you have TRIGGER nailing character design as they have been known to do for almost all of their shows. MOST IMPORTANTLY, MOST IF NOT ALL CONFLICTS WITHIN THE SHOW ALWAYS GET SOLVED BY USING GRIDMAN. It does not lose itself trying to build characters, it uses Gridman to drive the plot, as he should HIS FUCKING NAME IS ON THE TITLE CARD. All other conflicts that do not require the use of Gridman, get solved in a timely manner and do not overshadow what the show is supposed to be about.
The most magical thing about Gridman is, most of TRIGGER's failings in all of their shows, are not at all apparent in Gridman. The story is for better or worse (the last two episodes are up for debate) are properly paced, there is proper character development, there are actually no hidden behind the back twists to be found in the show, almost everything is alluded to at some point, hell they even get around the "Aliens show up lmao" by just... having the acknowledgement of aliens in the show at the start. Not only did they receive the tools to succeed in the writers aspect (by having someone who knows how to write these kinds of stories), they also do the impossible by using clunky looking CGI... and making it the standout quality of the show. CGI use in the industry is normally met with negative backlash, but where most shows use it as a detriment, Gridman uses it as it's greatest strength. Because it is an Ultraman property, because those shows had wacky people in suits punching eachother in minature cities, the CGI use in Gridman almost perfectly emulates that feeling of watching one of those shows in a 2D format. As the show goes on too, the people doing the CGI work, get really fucking good at it too. Honestly later CGI fights no longer feel clunky at all, they feel natural and surreal to the extent that it felt like I watch human beings grow as actual talent.
The only thing I can criticize Gridman for is I don't think it quite sticks the landing, but the final showdown between Gridman (Which actually BUSTS OUT his original design and the original intro to the show they were retelling) and Alexis Kerib was so great and ends in such a feelgood cheeseball way that I can totally let that slide. I had so much fun watching this show, getting to love Yuta, Rikka, Utsumi, the Neon Genesis Junior High students, Anti, and of course to a lesser extent Akane. If you have the time to, this is absolutely the one show of the entire year that I would blow my "IF you had to watch one show this year" recommendation on. Hell even after this I actually want to go watch some real ass Ultraman.
I like Goblin Slayer, I enjoy the premise of it. It's anime adaptation takes some liberties by swapping around certain arcs in the story and taking a much more serious tone by cutting down a lot of the exaggerated cutesy anime laced in with the gritty grimdark edge that can be found within the manga. It plays to its own strengths while in the process loses some of its charm.
Also theres questionable use of CGI in a lot of places (but like... not CGI bear bad), and there's definitely some... odd choices in the show itself (They seriously like had a shot of a reflection inside of a Canary's eyeball on screen for a good 5 minutes to end an episode, like what the fuck.) At the end of the day though this is a property I can't stop thinking about, and I will continue to read it as chapters come out.
The end, and things I couldn't get to:
- I didn't watch a single thing during the summer season... I hear Hinamatsuri was good though.
- I watched more shows than just FranXX in winter but definitely did not finish them or mention them. Sorry YuruCamp and Megalobox
- There are definitely shows I wanted to watch and just added them to the queue that I also didn't mention. Sorry Gundam Build Drivers.
- I actually want to watch Cells at Work before Winter arrives, seemed like something I would enjoy
- ... Sorry MHA and JoJo Part 5. JoJo is still JoJo, but man if you fell off MHA a bit after the license exam arc... I consider the next one to be one of my personal least liked.
At the end of it all:
I don't think I nearly watched enough anime this year at all, yet from the shows I did watch I did enjoy myself quite a bit. This year boasts one of my all time favorite shows, continued my love for all things Jojo, and of course Cygames slow but steady dominant rise to conquer all forms of media the likes nobody is even paying any attention to.Did you guys know they held a fanfest at the end of the year and announce an Arksys fighting game that NOBODY is even talking about?! I must be fucking going crazy!
Here's to another year of cool guy activities, we have the return of both ONE's creations in Mob Psycho and One Punch Man Season 2, and the theatrical release/sequel to my ALL time favorite anime Code Geass: Lelouch of the Re;surrection... I sincerely hope it is good. We're in for another year folks, stay tuned.

Hershey Tech Crew Brings Play To Life
January 19, 2016
Filed under Arts & Entertainment
Hang on for a minute...we're trying to find some more stories you might like.
Email This Story
By Jenny Kim
If they do their job right, they're invisible.
For Hershey High School's 2015 fall play, Agatha Christie's "Witness for the Prosecution," the Hershey tech crew, although least noticed, brings the play to life through the use of different light and sound effects. They must work hours to execute a heart wrenching production. These long hours can be tough and never ending, but also lead to a tech crew family, working together to create the production of a lifetime.
Philip Ayala, technical director, is responsible for leading the tech crew. To use the light and sound equipment professionally and safely, Ayala and a few tech savvy students teach the tech crew certain techniques to create different moods. For instance, colored gels are put into stage lights to make either dramatic, melancholy, or happy scenes. For these type of scenes either red, blue, or yellow is put in.
"Many components go into tech crew," Ayala said, "it is crucial that the students know how and when to bring in the various lights and sounds."
Although tech can be very intriguing, it can also be a huge time commitment. Paige Beck, sophomore, has spent many hours a night perfecting each scene for past plays. Usually from 3:30 to 6 p.m. every day after school, the tech crew works with the actors to refine each scene. During "Tech Sunday," the Sunday before the show, the tech crew is there from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m..
During tech week, the week before the play, it is full of rushing around and rerunning every scene to perfection. The tech crew performs dry tech, which is running through the scenes without the actors. Afterwards, they run the play with the actors, similar to a dress rehearsal. It can become egregious and somewhat never ending.
"There can be days where the tech crew has had to stay twice as long to work on the play," Ayala said.
Yet Paige Beck enjoys every minute of being on tech crew. Despite the demanding long hours, those long hours of working together make some sort of tech crew family. Because the tech crew must be an effective team, each member must be codependent on each other and work together. The tech crew has become a close knit squad.
"The amount of work that you have to do brings everyone together," Beck said, "You make friends with everyone in the theatre department."
Michelle O'Brien, HHS English teacher and play director, thinks that the tech crew is one of the most essential crews to the play. Without the work of the tech crew, the plays can easily become "passionless and unexpressive". Elements such as spotlights or sound effects really bring in the audience to the edge of their seat, which is a key component to any musical or play.
"I cannot be thankful enough for the students that have put in their time to help our productions," said O'Brien.
The Hershey Tech Crew has helped bring many fantastic plays and musicals. From Crazy For You, Seussical the Musical, to Damn Yankees, they have drawn many people's eyes for many years. Even though no one notices until they mess up, the Hershey Tech Crew provides the result of hard work, passion, and style.
"From newbies to experts," Beck said, "the Hershey tech crew is a top notch team that helps create an astounding theatre production."

But really though, like Sunday mornin' on a Wednesday.
This outfit is so comfortable.
If you haven't given the whole "festival shorts" thing a try then I seriously recommend it.
Carrying this bag is like toting artwork around on my shoulder. The leather used to create the petals is so soft and the hobo style is perfect for a carry-all when running errands.
I plan for many versions of this look to become my summer uniform.
Wearing - bright printed shorts by Everly (similar here), white embroidered top by Umgee (similar here), white sandals, artisan leather petal bag (similar here), beaded bracelets by Lily and Laura, Clubmaster sunglasses by Ray-Ban, stacking rings by Homegrown Silver and Stone, starburst ring via TJ Maxx (similar here)
Why in the world would anybody put chains on me?

Can You Prove It? Medical Records And Your Personal Injury Case
Most people have no idea how important their medical records are when they get injured in a car wreck. To pursue the at-fault driver you must use everything at your disposal, and your records are an amazingly important component of proof. Trying to get adequate compensation without them will lead to a disappointing result, so read on to learn about the role medical records play in the amount of your compensation and how to obtain them.
How much is your medical treatment costing?
In almost all cases, medical care is extremely expensive, and even a minor wreck can produce astronomical medical costs. If you add in a surgery and physical therapy, your bills can approach more than $100,000 without even trying hard. Of course, you may not be worried about how much your medical care is costing. After all, victims are entitled to receive the best of care to get them back, or as close to possible, to their pre-accident state of health. In most cases, the at-fault driver is paying for the cost of your medical care, and that is as it should be. But what people fail to grasp is that the dollar amount of your medical care will probably turn out to be an important number to your personal injury case.
The pain and suffering calculation
The amount of your medical bill is used to figure out how much you can get paid for your pain and suffering. It seems only logical: the higher your medical cost the worse your injuries and the more you are entitled to get for your pain and suffering. To make sure that you get what you deserve, be sure to:
1. Seek medical attention for your car accident injuries and keep a careful record of all treatments. It's a good idea to begin keeping a notebook that lists your hospital stays and other medical treatments and tests.
2. Keep up with all associated costs as well. Note the mileage you travel for appointments, to the pharmacy and for diagnostic tests in your notebook. You can not only be reimbursed for mileage, but any time you need take a taxi or public transportation.
Obtaining your medical records
You (and the auto injury law firm you're working with, through proxy) have a right to access copies of your medical records, so use your notes to assist in contacting all providers. These records are substantive proof of your medical treatment, and each and every medical-related incident will go into your pain and suffering computation.
Talk to a personal injury attorney to learn more about the importance of medical care and what you are entitled to get for your pain and suffering.
