January Board MeetingIndiana Tech, Zollner Engineering Center, Room 203Tuesday, January 8th at 6:00 PM1600 East Washington Boulevard, Fort Wayne, IN 46803
The January FWEC board meeting will start early to accommodate a presentation by Jane Applegate of the Fort Wayne Regional Maker Faire (http://makerfairefortwayne.com/) board. Jane will speak to the successes of the past two Maker Faires and the future of the Maker Faire in the Fort Wayne Region as well as how the FWEC (or individuals) can become more involved. The board meeting is in room Z-203 of the Indiana Tech campus (http://www.indianatech.edu/SiteCollectionDocuments/campus_life/campus_map.pdf). The FWEC will provide pizza and pop during the presentation. The regular board meeting business will follow Jane's presentation.
January ToursThree Rivers Water Filtration PlantThursday, January 24th at 6:30 PMFort Wayne, IN
The FWEC will tour the Three Rivers Water Filtration Plant (http://www.cityoffortwayne.org/utilities/drink-water/three-rivers-filtration-plant.html). The new Ultra-Violet system that replaced chlorine is installed and working along with other upgrades. A fact sheet for the Three Rivers Water Filtration Plant is available (http://www.cityoffortwayne.org/utilities/images/stories/docs/Filtration_Plant_8-2012.pdf).
Tour info: We will beet in the parking lot at the northwest corner of the Filtration plant; the lot is on the east side of Spy Run Avenue, at Baltes Avenue, just north of the St. Mary's River. Spy Run Avenue is a continuation of Lafayette Street; the name changes at the St. Mary's River Bridge.
Wear closed-toe shoes with reasonable traction and dress with the expectation of being outside for periods of up to 15 minutes. The plant is usually comfortable inside, but we'll want to see as much as possible of the new ultraviolet construction and settling structures. The outdoor portion will be kept to a minimum of it is very cold.
Northeast Indiana Engineers' WeekAcademic Award Donations
National Engineers' Week is week of February 18th. The FWEC supports the NEI E-Week by assisting other professional societies in funding Academic Awards for local engineering students. If you haven't already made a contribution to the FWEC Academic Award fund, please consider doing so. For more information regarding the Academic Award please see: http://www.indiana-eweek.org/indiana-academic.html. As of the November board meeting, it appears that NEI E-Week will have to give out fewer awards than last year if donations do not increase. Donations can be made online (http://fortwayneengineersclub.org/donate.html) or sent to FWEC treasurer Ryan Stark, 828 West Oakdale Drive, Fort Wayne, IN 46807-1814.
Northeast Indiana Engineers' WeekCitizen Engineer
Professional societies participating in Northeast Indiana Engineers' Week are allowed to recommend candidates for the Citizen Engineer award (http://www.indiana-eweek.org/indiana-citizen.html). However, due to the passing of John Kalb a long time NEI E-Week committee member, the NEI E-Week has opted to instead honor John in lieu of naming a Citizen Engineer.

Engineers' News Past
The FWEC has a significant history; Treasurer Ryan Stark and his wife were able to find past Engineers News documents dating back to 1938! Here is an excerpt of the past newsletter (a scanned copy of the entire newsletter is available through the FWEC website):
Engineers' News from January 1939: KOPPERS COMPANY CLOSES LOCAL PLANT
It is very much like writing an obituary to describe the removal of an old Fort Wayne industry from this territory.
The Western Gas Division of the Koppers Company is closing shop here and taking part of its engineering and sales force to Baltimore, Maryland, where they will become part of the Bartlett-Hayward division of the Koppers Company.
M. H. Merritt, A. A. Azar, G.V. Middaugh, A. B. Hall and G. I. Koons have submitted their resignations to the Engineers' Club and have already left the city for Baltimore. Much as we regret to see them leave we extend to them our best wishes for success in their new home.
The Engineers' Club is sincerely in accord with the efforts of the Chamber of Commerce to bring new industry to Fort Wayne to utilize the fine factory and office building s vacated by Western Gas and give employment to the several hundred persons who will be left jobless by the transfer.

Kulsoom Nawaz, the wife of Pakistan's ousted prime minister Nawaz Sharif who underwent a successful surgery of her throat cancer in London, was discharged today from hospital, a PML-N leader said.
Kulsoom Nawaz, the wife of Pakistan's ousted prime minister Nawaz Sharif who underwent a successful surgery of her throat cancer in London, was discharged today from hospital, a PML-N leader said. She underwent the surgery for early-stage lymphoma yesterday. "Now she's back home resting, awaiting further treatment as prescribed by her consultants," Iqbal Sandhu, information secretary at Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (UK), told PTI. Sandhu said Sharif offered his Eid prayers at Pakistan high commission in London this morning. His two sons were also by his side. "We are grateful to Allah Almighty for successful surgery of Kulsoom bhabi … May she get well soon!" Sharif's brother and Punjab province's Chief Minister Shehbaz Sharif tweeted. The former first lady, in her mid-60s, is being tipped as the next prime minister of Pakistan, replacing Shahid Khakan Abbasi. She is contesting the by-poll scheduled for September 17 for a National Assembly seat from Lahore which fell vacant after the Supreme Court disqualified Sharif in the Panama Papers case on July 28.
Sharif reportedly pitched his wife to stage his come back in the prime minister's house as 'first gentleman'. Kulsoom has missed campaiging for the by-election due to the surgery. But her daughter, Maryam Nawaz, chose to stay in Pakistan to run Kulsoom's election campaign. During the surgery, Maryam had tweeted: "Ami (mother) in surgery at the moment. Request you all to pray for her. Thank you." Sharif arrived in London on Wednesday. In his brief comments, Sharif thanked overseas Pakistanis for their support and promised he will soon address them.

Cancellation policy
Weather Policy: WE PLAY IN THE RAIN! This is a water activity and you should be dressed to get wet! We will only cancel if lightening persist. Note: Lightening, Thunder, and Showers pass very quick, so please do not expect a cancellation. Weather can change very fast in Fort Lauderdale and Forecast may call for rain that we never see as we often have the ocean breezes keep rain out west. It is normal for the hot summer heat to cause evaporating water to have a quick rain shower that usually passes very fast and we appreciate the coolness that comes with it. Please DO NOT cancel for light showers or cloudy weather. You are already dressed to get wet and we sincerely believe that playing in the rain is healthy and fun. We will call you if we are canceling due to bad weather; otherwise please come as planned. If you DO Not Show and Do Not Call in Advance of your Reserved Time; then No Refund will be provided. Polite Guest may request a credit for another visit. Please ask to place your Name with a Credit in our Filing Records System. Cancellation Policy: 72 Hours in Advance for a Full Refund Weekends and Holidays / 48 Hours Week Days We understand that things happen and ask that you contact us as early as possible for a cancellation. We value our Guest and our Guides. Note: Guides may only be coming to work exclusively for Reservations, so we appreciate a Courtesy Call as soon as possible so we can allow them time for scheduling and adjusting plans. We discourage late cancellations as this hinders our ability to schedule other Guest who may have wished to make a reservation for the same times. This also explains why Pre-Payment is Required for All Guaranteed Reservations. We have learned that some people will not call or show up if they have not already paid and so we have adjusted our policies for best reservation management. You must cancel 72 Hours in Advance of your scheduled time in order to get a full refund on Weekends and Holidays or 48 Hours on Weekdays. Once we are inside the 72 Hour or 48 Hour Period then a Credit will be offered as long as the request is made in advance of your scheduled Reservation. NO SHOW / NO REFUND: The Equipment is Reserved for you and by not showing up and not calling this creates possible loss from other Guest who may have reserved for that time and were denied. Hence, our policy is No Show / No Refund. We do make exceptions for reasonable circumstances and will offer a credit to be kept on file and by your name. Full Moon Paddles and Special Events: No Refunds / Credit Substitutions = Rental PLEASE NOTE: We still offer a Full Refund 72 Hours before Specialty Events like the Full Moon Paddle. These are very popular and are often SOLD OUT. This means we are Reserving Boards for anyone Prepaid and likely have to turn away others who would have reserved your position; therefore any last minute cancellations may be considered however they will only be given credit towards a 2 Hour Weekday Rental and not towards future Full Moon Paddles. Hence, we do not offer Refunds or Credits towards same Event or Specialty Event. Please do not reserve if you are unsure if you can make it. You may still cancel for a Full Refund up to 72 Hours before the scheduled Paddle. 100% Satisfaction: We Love Our Customers Our ultimate Goal is 100% Satisfaction and while we realize that it is near impossible to please everyone all of the time; we do want everyone to be provided an opportunity for resolution. If you feel we made an error or if you want to share a great experience; then please Email our Satisfaction Team Here.

Are Cheap Android Head Units worth your money?
Will Ford posted in Engineering Explained
2y ago
We've probably all seen those cheap (and I mean REALLY cheap) Android head units floating around in cyber space and wondered are they actually any good?
In this series I put one (the Ownice C500 to be specific) to the test to see exactly what it's like. In this Part 1 video, I focus on build quality, the features you can expect, as well as how to get the most out of the User Interface.
In following videos we'll take a look at the audio quality, and what it's like to live with day-to-day.
NOTE: The pattern you can see on the screen is the camera, not the unit itself.

The Mark Twain House (Twiddy Rentals)
April 2013
North Carolina-Outer Banks
I have found a home I love and am interested in feedback from any bride out there that used this home for their wedding/reception location.
The idea is to book this house and offer rooms to our wedding guests as a lower rate than their expenses would be at a hotel in the area. The house has 18 bedrooms and ample space to do this. Have any other brides out there done this? If so, how did you present this idea? I"m torn because it feels a bit rude of me to say "Would you come to our wedding and pay for your room at our beach house"?
Is this something you discussed with guests BEFORE booking? The house is definitely out of our budget without the commitment from guests to stay there and help pay. I'm sure many family members and close friends would be on board...but 18 rooms are a lot of rooms to fill.
Oh, here's the link to the home. Photos are weddings here are just gorgeous!!

Re: The Mark Twain House (Twiddy Rentals)
April 2013
edited April 2013
My story is a little different because I don't have any family and my FI has a big family! He wanted us to get house on the beach for our wedding to share with his parents and both of his brothers and their families! He was deployed with the military while I was house hunting so I was the one who contacted everyone. They were all interested in the idea but when I sent them all the information no one gave me any feedback. One of his brothers has 3 kids so they were a family of 5 and that made the difference in one house or another house and that sister in law said yes, she wanted to do it! In October we put down half of the deposit! Well, in January, his brother, with the family of 5, said they can't stay the week, his wife has to work. Even though his wife has to work he could stay the week with the 3 kids but I don't think they want to pay the money! Needless to say I got very upset because we could've picked the smaller more affordable house.
Now, we are letting our friends know about the availablilty we have in the house but so far no one can stay the week so we will probably just rent the rooms out to our friends for a long weekend and just absorb the financial loss! It is a beautiful house so I am accepting the idea that we needed the family of 5 for me to actually find that house and therefore that is the house we are meant to be in for our wedding week!
My FI was also hoping other family would rent houses close to ours and then the week would be a big family reunion. That isn't working out either as no one is interested in doing that and everyone keeps complaining about the price of hotels! He was home briefly and tried to convey to them renting a house is SO much more affordable than hotels in OBX!
It is such an awesome idea to get everyone together and stay in the same house. Unfortunately for us it didn't work out because no one was familiar with the OBX and because it is his family and I am not close to any of them as they live in Ohio and Florida. I would definitely put the word out there early enough so you can have an idea about who wants to attend. It is tough sometimes to get everyone to coordinate their vacations for the one week you want to get married!
Sorry for such a long message. I know a lot of girls had good experiences renting the houses with their friends and family unfortunately I wasn't as lucky! Wishing you the best, the houses you like are awesome!

A lot of us have done this. I think the majority of the people that we had staying in the home were the immediate family and wedding party though. Not to say that your guests can't stay there with you, but there are just a few things to think about when considering that. Will the guests be staying the entire week or just for a night or two? Are the comfortable paying for this upfront, knowing they can't back out unless you have someone to take their room? If guests only come down for a night or two OR if all rooms aren't filled, are you & FI/family willing to cover the extra costs?
If the house is mainly going to be family & WP, I would just talk to everyone whom you would think would stay in the house and see if they are interested. We had a few extra rooms at the "wedding house", so I just asked a few of my close friends if they would be interested and a few of them took advantage of it.
I think most of your family/WP and close friends would really like the idea of staying together and cutting down on costs, travel time back n forth from a hotel, etc.
April 2013
Hi! Before booking our house for our wedding week this July we asked people in our immediate family and close friends if they wanted to take part of the house. We definitely needed to know beforehand b/c there was no way we could afford it without everyone saying yes. We came up with a spreadsheet based on the prior year rental rate (added in an increase) and came up with costs so that people had an idea of what it would be. Luckily we were only $800 off from the cost we estimated so it wasn't too bad.
We basically just sent an email to our families/close friends with pictures of the house, potential costs, and how that was comparable to staying in a hotel.
As noted in a previous post the rental companies make you pay deposits up front so we basically had told everyone in our families that they pay half of their rooms to lock them in. Honestly it worked out for us as everyone paid their deposits but if they don't at least you have an idea of who may bail and see if you have other people that could possibly fill the room.
Good luck!
April 2013
Great input! Thanks so much for your responses! The Mark Twain is out of the budget, I think, in considering what level of commitment I want to make. The other 8 or 9 bedroom homes are more practical for a small wedding and we could eat the cost of that a lot easier if we can't get the rooms rented.
April 2013
I looked at Mark Twain it is amazing it was also out of my price range. I booked "the dream" a few houses down and a few thousand dollars cheaper. My family and my FI's family are splitting the price.
I just wanted to mention that Twiddy adds on an extra "special event wedding fee" which was 2,000 on top of the rental price. I'm still super happy with my choice but wanted to mention it to you since you are in the early planning stages. One last thing, I have found is that vendors charge more to travel to the 4x4 area. I'm in no way trying to discourage you, cause i'm doing in on 8/22/13.

I too am looking to book this house for a wedding in September of 2014. I would love to know more details as well if anyone has done so in this house, etc. It has been a dream of mine for years now to get married in this particular house.
June 2013
This was my story in a way too. I have hardly any family and my fiance has a large family. I sent out save the dates nine months in advance, plus sent outer banks travel guides at the same time so they could familiarize themselves with everything and make plans in advance. The problem was that everyone was so wishy washy and whining about costs of accommodations (Not that most of them were struggling; I could understand that! What irritated me was there seemed to be plenty of money to travel to all the kid's hockey tournaments in Detroit, Chicago, Maryland, etc., go to Myrtle Beach for some big week, and so on. But for us there wasn't time or money to come for a few days) In the end,my fiance's closest brother and family, son & his wife, neighbor, maybe my brother and a few close friends are coming. I've come to the conclusion that it is a blessing, because it shows me who are the ones who
care are! What irritated me too was the fact that the rest were all griping and trying to lay a guilt trip on me about how selfish
I was
for not having my wedding in Greensboro where I grew up and
living! Now why should I have my wedding in a place I despised? Anyway, I've learned a lot and I am at peace with my decision. I am having my wedding on the beach in front of one of my favorite motels where I'm staying. An event house would have been nice, but after all that went on, I know I'm still going to have the wedding I dreamed of! I hope everything goes well for you and that you have the wedding of your dreams no matter what happens! Mine is now exactly a month away!

In those early years out of business school. In review after review, this word strategic kept coming up. It was like a SAT word that I had never mastered. It was a word I couldn't use correctly in a sentence. It was a word that I also misspelled on one occasion.

Community Involement
At Greengables, we strive to build and work with our community. Throughout the year we host several community events that are optional to attend, these events include, welcoming sausage sizzles, movie nights at Greengables, End of year family disco, family picnics at local parks, trivia and games nights, bowling nights held at Manhattan Superbowl and lots more.
One of our recent large successes was winning the Randwick City Council Business Awards, for Outstanding Child Care Services.
We also try and engage with our community by assisting others, including being a drop off location for 'The Nappy Collective', collecting unwanted and unused nappies for families in crisis. When the children participate in fun dress up days or special days, we often fundraise by asking for food collections, to drop off to the children's hospital, for families waiting to enjoy.
Just recently we have had an Indigenous artist paint our Houston lane carpark into an Aboriginal mural, with the meaning behind it being meeting places for people to meet and connect, with child care being a large meeting place.

That seems to have fixed things! Thanks so much for the reply; I really appreciate the support you all offer for Bolt.
I'm not really sure how to upload a project for testing. I could probably get you access to my repo if the info above isn't sufficient to give any clues. Oh, also, I'm now on Unity 2018.3.0f2, and Bolt 1.4.0f11. Thanks for your time reading this!
Ok, after a while of not seeing this issue I'm seeing it pretty regularly now. It shows up in a few different forms:
I have a dedicated scene for my UI, with an embedded state machine on my main UI gameobject. When I run just the UI scene by itself, the state machine behaves as expected. When I load the UI scene in additively at runtime, the state machine switches its source to Macro and the embedded graph is lost. Strangely, when I exit play mode, the source stays set to macro until I exit and relaunch Unity, at which point the embedded graph is restored.
I also have a player prefab in my Resources folder that I'm instantiating at runtime. It has a state machine attached with a macro as its source, but when it's instantiated it loses its reference to the macro as well as all its object variables. Similarly, after I exit play mode and inspect the prefab, the state machine stays set to Macro with an empty reference to a macro file until I restart Unity.
I get the following error when running my project:

4 shares soaring on the ASX today
The S&P/ASX 200 (Index: ^AXJO) (ASX: XJO) has closed the day flat at 5,166.6 points, in what turned out to be quite a rollercoaster ride. But when the big four banks and the two major resource companies in the top 20 close the day in the red, it was always going to be tough for the market to post a positive session.
These 4 companies saw their share prices soar…
Ardent Leisure Group (ASX: AAD) share price jumped 11.8% to $2.18, after the entertainment company announced that it was selling it d'Albora Marinas business to allow the company to focus on a faster rollout of its Main Event operations in the US. Ardent expects to have 38 locations in 12 US states by 2017. The company also announced a number of other strategy changes, which we covered in more detail here.
BigAir Group Limited's (ASX: BGL) share price soared 12.8% to $0.66, despite no news from the company. BigAir provides customers with access to a microwave wireless broadband network, as well as cloud management services. It's possible that the 28% fall in the share price since the start of the year has brought out the bargain hunters, with the share price hitting a 52-week low of 58.5 cents earlier today.
TPG Telecom Ltd's (ASX: TPM) share price gained 7.2% to $11.09 after the telco posted yet another six months of strong growth. Revenues were up 84% and net profit up 90% compared the previous period, thanks to a strong five and a half months contribution from recent acquisition iiNet. Forecasts suggest the company is expecting a strong second half, with more double-digit growth in earnings likely.
Tox Free Solutions Limited (ASX: TOX) share price rocketed up 15% to $2.99, after the waste management company announced the successful completion of an institutional capital raising of $20 million, with the proceeds contributing to the $70 million purchase of Worth Recycling in NSW. Tox says the acquisition will add 13.5% to earnings per share on pro-forma earnings, as well as expected synergies from the integration and the ability to expand Worth technologies and IP into other states.

Great location
Great lake location. Love the motorized "Princess" dock.
Book online or call:1-844-709-7928
Located in Victoria, this vacation home is on the beach. Royal BC Museum and CFB Esquimalt Naval and Militiary Museum are cultural highlights, and some of the area's activities can be experienced at Victoria Harbour and Victoria Clipper Ferry Terminal. Traveling with kids? Consider WildPlay West Shore Victoria and All Fun Recreation Park.
Great lake location. Love the motorized "Princess" dock.
Our group of seven (kids ages 2, 5 and 7) had a fantastic vacation at this house! The water toys included were phenomenal and we used them every single day. My in-laws especially enjoyed Richard's antique canoe. It was also great to have bikes to use. Richard and Peter were excellent, friendly hosts. Some things to note that *may* bother some people: There is no air-conditioning. There are plenty of fans provided, but some of the windows don't have screens so bugs do get in the house. There were also a ton of fruit flies in the kitchen when we arrived which we were never able to fully get rid of. Our stay was during a very warm week in August, so this would not be a problem all of the time. We have the same issues in our older Seattle home at times so it did not affect our enjoyment of our stay.
The House has everything you need to relax and have fun. A happy place to spend time.
We have been renting through VRBO for about 10 years and this is one of my favorite houses ever. This is a house that is loved by it's owners who truly seem to enjoy sharing it with others. This rental feels like a home and invites guest to relax and enjoy. Excellent value for money with all it offers including the lake to swim and play in, cool rope swing, barge (fun and easy to drive, the owner taught our 15 year old to drive it), fire pit with chopped wood available for use, games in the house and by the water, nice kitchen and super spacious house with cozy living areas. We loved the large deck over looking the lake. The grounds around the house are absolutely beautiful with magnolia trees, fruit trees, and huge variety of plants and garden areas. In fact there is so much to do right at the house that you could easily stay right there for a week and never leave. However, there is so much to do in Langford and the surrounding areas that our biggest problem was choosing what to do next from all the options (Sooke Potholes Park, Victoria, bike trails, tons of hiking trails, lots of coastal beaches are just a few examples). Langford is the kind of area you would feel comfortable raising your kids in. Restaurants, grocery stores, movie theater, shopping and more all less than 10 minutes away. Everyone we met was super friendly and welcoming. Especially the owner, Richard. Richard was wonderful to work with. He responded to email quickly and put up with all our questions. He is very knowledgeable about the area and provided us with great recommendations. He was very giving of his time and even played Friesbee Golf with us at a nearby course he helped design and build. You will not find a more wonderful owner. The listing description may sound to good to be true but it is very accurate and we highly recommend.
We had a wonderful time at this place by the lake it's a beautiful home that had everything we need to make us feel at home Richard was very kind and friendly We would definitely book this place again on our next visit

She was first ordained in 2012 before she officiated the wedding of two female friends and has been vocal about her support of equal rights for the LGBT community.
"It was such an amazing experience to help two beautiful women cement their commitment to each other through marriage," she told CBS when she married the couple. "I can't understand why any person or any law would stand in-between that kind of love."

|This article Pokemon has been imported from wikipedia and is about the franchise as a whole. Links in this article still need to be redirected to links within the wiki where available. For a list of pokemon available within the Arena go to the List of Pokemon
The name Pokémon (Japanese: ポケットモンスター Pocket Monsters, or ポケモン Pokémon for short) is the romanized contraction of the Japanese brand Pocket Monsters , as such contractions are very common in Japan. The term "Pokémon", in addition to referring to the Pokémon franchise itself, also collectively refers to the 493 fictional species that have made appearances in Pokémon media as of the recent release of the newest Pokémon role-playing game (RPG) for the Nintendo DS, Pokémon Platinum. Like the words deer and sheep, the word "Pokémon" is identical in both the singular and plural, as is each individual species name; in short, it is grammatically correct to say both "one Pokémon" and "many Pokémon" as well as "one Pikachu" and "many Pikachu". In November 2005, 4Kids Entertainment, which had managed the non-game related licensing of Pokémon, announced that it had agreed not to renew the Pokémon representation agreement. Pokémon USA Inc. (now The Pokémon Company International), a subsidiary of Japan's Pokémon Co., now oversees all Pokémon licensing outside of Asia.
The concept of the Pokémon universe, in both the video games and the general fictional world of Pokémon, stems from the hobby of insect collecting, a popular pastime which Pokémon executive director Satoshi Tajiri-Oniwa enjoyed as a child. Players of the games are designated as Pokémon Trainers, and the two general goals (in most Pokémon games) for such Trainers are: to complete the Pokédex by collecting all of the available Pokémon species found in the fictional region where that game takes place; and to train a team of powerful Pokémon from those they have caught to compete against teams owned by other Trainers, and eventually become the strongest Trainer, the Pokémon Master. These themes of collecting, training, and battling are present in almost every version of the Pokémon franchise, including the video games, the anime and manga series, and the Pokémon Trading Card Game.
In most incarnations of the fictional Pokémon universe, a Trainer that encounters a wild Pokémon is able to capture that Pokémon by throwing a specially designed, mass-producible spherical tool called a Poké Ball at it. If the Pokémon is unable to escape the confines of the Poké Ball, it is officially considered to be under the ownership of that Trainer. Afterwards, it will obey whatever its new master commands , unless the Trainer demonstrates such a lack of experience that the Pokémon would rather act on its own accord. Trainers can send out any of their Pokémon to wage non-lethal battles against other Pokémon; if the opposing Pokémon is wild, the Trainer can capture that Pokémon with a Poké Ball, increasing his or her collection of creatures. Pokémon already owned by other Trainers cannot be captured, except under special circumstances in certain games. If a Pokémon fully defeats an opponent in battle so that the opponent is knocked out (i.e., "faints"), the winning Pokémon gains experience and may level up. When leveling up, the Pokémon's statistics ("stats") of battling aptitude increase, such as Attack and Speed. From time to time the Pokémon may also learn new moves, which are techniques used in battle. In addition, many species of Pokémon possess the ability to undergo a form of metamorphosis and transform into a similar but stronger species of Pokémon, a process called evolution.
In the main series, each game's single-player mode requires the Trainer to raise a team of Pokémon to defeat many non-player character (NPC) Trainers and their Pokémon. Each game lays out a somewhat linear path through a specific region of the Pokémon world for the Trainer to journey through, completing events and battling opponents along the way. Each game features eight especially powerful Trainers, referred to as Gym Leaders, that the Trainer must defeat in order to progress. As a reward, the Trainer receives a Gym Badge, and once all eight badges are collected, that Trainer is eligible to challenge the region's Pokémon League, where four immensely talented trainers (referred to collectively as the "Elite Four") challenge the Trainer to four Pokémon battles in succession. If the trainer can overcome this gauntlet, he or she must then challenge the Regional Champion, the master Trainer who had previously defeated the Elite Four. Any Trainer who wins this last battle becomes the new champion and gains the title of Pokémon Master.
Video games
The original Pokémon games were Japanese RPGs with an element of strategy, and were created by Satoshi Tajiri for the Game Boy. These role-playing games, and their sequels, remakes, and English language translations, are still considered the "main" Pokémon games, and the games which most fans of the series are referring to when they use the term "Pokémon games". All of the licensed Pokémon properties overseen by The Pokémon Company are divided roughly by generation. These generations are roughly chronological divisions by release; every several years, when an official sequel in the main RPG series is released that features new Pokémon, characters, and gameplay concepts, that sequel is considered the start of a new generation of the franchise. The main games and their spin-offs, the anime, manga, and trading card game are all updated with the new Pokémon properties each time a new generation begins. The franchise is in its fourth generation.The Pokémon franchise started off in its first generation with its initial release of Pocket Monsters Aka and Midori ("Red" and "Green", respectively) for the Game Boy in Japan. When these games proved extremely popular, an enhanced Ao ("Blue") version was released sometime after, and the Ao version was reprogrammed as Pokémon Red and Blue for international release. The games launched in the United States on September 30, 1998. The original Aka and Midori versions were never released outside of Japan. Afterwards, a further enhanced version titled Pokémon Yellow: Special Pikachu Edition was released to partially take advantage of the color palette of the Game Boy Color, as well as to feature more elements from the popular Pokémon anime. This first generation of games introduced the original 151 species of Pokémon (in National Pokédex order, encompassing all Pokémon from Bulbasaur to Mew), as well as the basic game concepts of capturing, training, battling, and trading Pokémon with both computer and human players. These versions of the games take place within the fictional Kanto region, though the name "Kanto" was not used until the second generation.
The second generation of Pokémon began in 2000 with the release of Pokémon Gold and Silver for Game Boy Color. Like the previous generation, an enhanced version titled Pokémon Crystal was later released. The second generation introduced 100 new species of Pokémon (starting with Chikorita and ending with Celebi), with a total of 251 Pokémon to collect, train, and battle. The Pokémon mini is a handheld game console released in November 2001 in North America, December 2001 in Japan, and 2002 in Europe. Pokémon entered its third generation with the 2003 release of Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire for Game Boy Advance and continued with the Game Boy Advance remakes of Pokémon Red and Blue, Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen, and an enhanced version of Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire titled Pokémon Emerald.
The third generation introduced 135 new Pokémon (starting with Treecko and ending with Deoxys) for a total of 386 species. However, this generation also garnered some criticism for leaving out several gameplay features, including the day-and-night system introduced in the previous generation, and it was also the first installment that encouraged the player to collect merely a selected assortment of the total number of Pokémon rather than every existing species (202 out of 386 species are catchable in the Ruby and Sapphire versions).
In 2006, Japan began the fourth generation of the franchise with the release of Pokémon Diamond and Pearl for Nintendo DS. The fourth generation introduces another 107 new species of Pokémon (starting with Turtwig and ending with Arceus), bringing the total of Pokémon species to 493. The Nintendo DS "touch screen" allows new features to the game such as cooking poffins with the stylus and using the "Pokétch". New gameplay concepts include a restructured move-classification system, online multiplayer trading and battling via Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection, the return (and expansion) of the second generation's day-and-night system, the expansion of the third generation's Pokémon Contests into "Super Contests", and the new region of Sinnoh, which has an underground component for multiplayer gameplay in addition to the main overworld. Pokémon Platinum, the enhanced version of Diamond and Pearl, much like Pokémon Yellow, Crystal, and Emerald, was released September 2008 in Japan, March 2009 in North America, and was released in Australia and Europe in May 2009. Spin-off titles in the fourth generation include the Pokémon Stadium follow-up Pokémon Battle Revolution for Wii, which has Wi-Fi connectivity as well.
Nintendo announced in May 2009 that enhanced remakes of Pokémon Gold and Silver, entitled Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, released for the Nintendo DS system. HeartGold and SoulSilver will be set in the Johto region and was released in September 2009 in Japan.
Game mechanics
Starter Pokémon
One of the consistent aspects of the Pokémon games — spanning from Pokémon Red and Blue on the Nintendo Game Boy to the Nintendo DS game Pokémon Platinum — is the choice of one of three different Pokémon at the start of the player's adventures; these three are often labeled "starter Pokémon". Players can choose a Grass-type, a Fire-type, or a Water-type. For example, in Pokémon Red and Blue (and their respective reworks, Pokémon FireRed and Pokémon LeafGreen), the player has the choice of starting with Bulbasaur, Charmander, or Squirtle. The exception to this rule is Pokémon Yellow (a remake of the original games that follows the story of the Pokémon anime), where players are given a Pikachu, an Electric-type mouse Pokémon, famous for being the mascot of the Pokémon media franchise; in this game, however, the three starter Pokémon from Red and Blue can be obtained during the quest by a single player, something that is not possible in any other installment of the franchise. Another consistent aspect is that the player's rival will always choose as his or her starter Pokémon the one that has a type advantage over the player's Pokémon. For instance, if the player picks a Grass-type Pokémon, the rival will always pick the fire-type starter. Of course, the exception to this is again Pokémon Yellow, in which the rival picks an Eevee, but whether this Eevee evolves into Jolteon, Vaporeon, or Flareon is decided by when the player wins and loses to the rival through the journey.
The Pokédex is a fictional electronic device featured in the Pokémon video game and anime series. In the games, whenever a Pokémon is first captured, its data will be added to a player's Pokédex, but in the anime or manga, the Pokédex is a comprehensive electronic reference encyclopedia, usually referred to in order to deliver exposition. "Pokédex" is also used to refer to a list of Pokémon, usually a list of Pokémon by number. In the video games, a Pokémon Trainer is issued a blank device at the start of the journey. A trainer must then attempt to fill the Pokédex by encountering and at least briefly obtaining each of the different species of Pokémon. A player will receive the name and image of a Pokémon after encountering one that was not previously in the Pokédex, typically after battling said Pokémon either in the wild or in a trainer battle (with the exceptions of link battles and tournament battles, such as in the Battle Frontier). In Pokémon Red and Blue, some Pokémon's data is added to the Pokédex simply by viewing the Pokémon, such as in the zoo outside of the Safari Zone. Also, certain NPC characters may add to the Pokédex by explaining what a Pokémon looks like during conversation. More detailed information is available after the player obtains a member of the species, either through capturing the Pokémon in the wild, evolving a previously captured Pokémon, hatching a Pokémon egg (from the second generation onwards), or through a trade with another trainer (either an NPC or another player). This information includes height, weight, species type, and a short description of the Pokémon. Later versions of the Pokédex have more detailed information, like the size of a certain Pokémon compared to the player character, or Pokémon being sorted by their habitat (so far, the latter feature is only in the FireRed and LeafGreen versions). The most current forms of Pokédex are capable of containing information on all Pokémon currently known. The GameCube games, Pokémon Colosseum and Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness, have a Pokémon Digital Assistant (PDA) which is similar to the Pokédex, but also tells what types are effective against a Pokémon and gives a description of its abilities.
In other media
Anime series
The Pokémon anime series and films are a meta-series of adventures separate from the canon that most of the Pokémon video games follow (with the exception of Pokémon Yellow, a game based loosely on the anime storyline). The anime follows the quest of the main character, Ash Ketchum (known as Satoshi in Japan) a Pokémon Master in training, as he and a small group of friends travel around the fictitious world of Pokémon along with their Pokémon partners. The original series, titled Pocket Monsters, or simply Pokémon in western countries (often referred to as Pokémon: Gotta Catch 'Em All to distinguish it from the later series), begins with Ash's first day as a Pokémon trainer. His first (and signature) Pokémon is a Pikachu, differing from the games, where only Bulbasaur, Charmander, or Squirtle could be chosen. The series follows the storyline of the original games, Pokémon Red and Blue, in the region of Kanto. Accompanying Ash on his journeys are Brock, the Pewter City Gym Leader, and Misty, the youngest of the Gym Leader sisters from Cerulean City. Pokémon: Adventures in the Orange Islands follows Ash's adventures in the Orange Islands, a place unique to the anime, and replaces Brock with Tracey Sketchit, an artist and "Pokémon watcher". The next series, based on the second generation of games, include Pokémon: Johto Journeys, Pokémon: Johto League Champions, and Pokémon: Master Quest, following the original trio of Ash, Brock, and Misty in the western Johto region. The saga continues in Pokémon: Advanced Battle, based on the third generation games. Ash and company travel to Hoenn, a southern region in the Pokémon World. Ash takes on the role of a teacher and mentor for a novice Pokémon trainer named May. Her brother Max accompanies them, and though he isn't a trainer, he knows large amounts of handy information. Brock (from the original series) soon catches up with Ash, but Misty has returned to Cerulean City to tend to her duties as a gym leader (Misty, along with other recurring characters, appears in the spin-off series Pokémon Chronicles).The Advanced Battle series concludes with the Battle Frontier saga, based on the Emerald version and including aspects of FireRed and LeafGreen. The most recent series is the Diamond and Pearl series, with Max leaving to pick his starter Pokémon, and May going to the Grand Festival in Johto. Ash, Brock, and a new companion named Dawn travel through the region of Sinnoh. In addition to the TV series, eleven Pokémon films have been made, with a twelfth to be released in Japan in July 2009. Collective bonuses, such as promotional trading cards, have been available with some of the films.

There have been several Pokémon CDs that have been released in North America, most of them in conjunction with the theatrical releases of the first three Pokémon films. These releases were commonplace until late 2001. On March 27, 2007, a tenth anniversary CD was released containing 18 tracks from the English dub; this was the first English-language release in over five years. Soundtracks of the Pokémon feature films have been released in Japan each year in conjunction with the theatrical releases.
Pokémon Trading Card Game
The Pokémon Trading Card Game is a collectible card game with a goal similar to a Pokémon battle in the video game series. Players use Pokémon cards, with individual strengths and weaknesses, in an attempt to defeat their opponent by "knocking out" his or her Pokémon cards. The game was first published in North America by Wizards of the Coast in 1999. However, with the release of Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Game Boy Advance video games, Nintendo USA took back the card game from Wizards of the Coast and started publishing the cards themselves. The Expedition expansion introduced the Pokémon-e Trading Card Game, where the cards (for the most part) were compatible with the Nintendo e-Reader. Nintendo discontinued its production of e-Reader compatible cards with the release of EX FireRed & LeafGreen. In 1998, Nintendo released a Game Boy Color version of the trading card game in Japan; Pokémon Trading Card Game was subsequently released to the US and Europe in 2000. The game included digital versions cards from the original set of cards and the first two expansions (Jungle and Fossil), as well as several cards exclusive to the game. A Japan-exclusive sequel was released in 2001.
There are various Pokémon manga series, four of which were released in English by Viz Media, and seven of them released in English by Chuang Yi.

Criticism and controversy
|This article's Criticism or Controversy section(s) may not present a neutral point of view of the subject. It may be better to integrate the material in those sections into the article as a whole.
Pokémon has been criticized by some Christians, Jews, and Muslims; Christian concerns over Pokémon have primarily addressed perceived occultic and violent themes as well as the concept of "Pokémon evolution" (which some relate to the theory of evolution), which is said to go against the Biblical creation account in Genesis. The Vatican, however, has countered that the Pokémon trading card game and video games are "full of inventive imagination" and have no "harmful moral side effects". In the United Kingdom, the "Christian Power Cards" game was introduced in 1999 by David Tate who stated, "Some people aren't happy with Pokémon and want an alternative, others just want Christian games." The game was similar to the Pokémon TCG but used Biblical figures. In 1999, the Jewish civil rights group Anti-Defamation League also pressured Nintendo to edit the image of the Pokémon trading cards for Golbat and Ditto because the cards depicted a left-facing manji, which the League interpreted as antisemitism, although these cards had been intended for sale only in Japan with Nintendo planning to release edited versions in North America the following year. In 2001, Saudi Arabia banned Pokémon games and cards, alleging that the franchise promoted Zionism in violation of Muslim doctrine. Pokémon has also been accused of promoting materialism. In 1999, two nine-year-old boys sued Nintendo because they claimed that the Pokémon Trading Card Game caused their problematic gambling.
On December 16, 1997, more than 635 Japanese children were admitted to hospitals with epileptic seizures. It was determined that the seizures were caused by watching an episode of Pokémon, "Dennō Senshi Porygon", (most commonly translated "Electric Soldier Porygon", season 1, episode 38); as a result, this episode has not been aired since. In this particular episode, there were bright explosions with rapidly alternating blue and red color patterns. It was determined in subsequent research that these strobing light effects cause some individuals to have epileptic seizures, even if the person had no previous history of epilepsy. This incident is the most common focus of Pokémon-related parodies in other media, and was lampooned by The Simpsons episode "Thirty Minutes over Tokyo" and the South Park episode "Chinpokomon", among others.
Monster in My Pocket
In March 2000, Morrison Entertainment Group, a small toy developer based at Manhattan Beach, California, sued Nintendo over claims that Pokémon infringed on its own "Monster in My Pocket" characters. A judge ruled that there was no infringement, so Morrison appealed the ruling in November 2001.
Cultural influence
Pokémon, being a popular franchise, has undoubtedly left its mark on pop culture. The Pokémon characters themselves have become pop culture icons; examples include two different Pikachu balloons in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, a Pokémon-styled Boeing 747-400, thousands of merchandise items, and a theme park in Nagoya, Japan in 2005 and Taipei in 2006. Pokémon also appeared on the cover of the U.S. magazine Time in 1999. The Comedy Central show Drawn Together has a character named Ling-Ling which is a direct parody of Pikachu. Several other shows such as ReBoot, The Simpsons, South Park, The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy, Robot Chicken,All Grown Up! and Johnny Test have made references and spoofs of Pokémon, among other series. Pokémon was also featured on VH1's I Love the '90s: Part Deux. A live action show called Pokémon Live! toured the United States in late 2000. It was based on the popular Pokémon anime, but had some continuity errors relating to it.
In November 2001, Nintendo opened a store called the Pokémon Center in New York, in New York's Rockefeller Center, modeled after the two other Pokémon Center stores in Tokyo and Osaka and named after a staple of the videogame series; Pokémon Centers are fictional buildings where Trainers take their injured Pokémon to be healed after combat. The store sold Pokémon merchandise on a total of two floors, with items ranging from collectible shirts to stuffed Pokémon plushies. The store also featured a Pokémon Distributing Machine in which players would place their game to receive an egg of a Pokémon that is being given out at that time. The store also had tables that were open for players of the Pokémon Trading Card Game to duel each other or an employee. The store was closed and replaced by the Nintendo World Store on May 14, 2005.
Joseph Jay Tobin theorizes that the success of the franchise was mainly due to the long list of names that could be learned by children and repeated in their peer groups. The rich fictional universe provided a lot of opportunities for discussion and demonstration of knowledge in front of their peers. In the French version Nintendo took care to translate the name of the creatures so that they reflected the French culture and language. In all cases the names of the creatures were linked to its characteristics, which converged with the children's belief that names have symbolic power. Children could pick their favourite Pokémon and affirm their individuality while at the same time affirming their conformance to the values of the group, and they could distinguish themselves from other kids by asserting what they liked and what they didn't like from every chapter. Pokémon gained popularity because it provided a sense of identity to a wide variety of children, and lost it quickly when many of those children found that the identity groups were too big and searched for identities that would distinguish them into smaller groups.

Because they won't let Piglet correct them, they decide to hold a race around the Hundred Acre Wood to try and beat Piglet! ==Plot== One day, [[Piglet]] is polishing a brown shoe with a daffodil inside and deciding to put it next to a baby picture of him. [[Tigger]] then comes in and says he never knew he had one of those. Piglet tries to explain, but [[Rabbit]], [[Gopher (Winnie the Pooh)|Gopher]], [[Winnie the Pooh|Pooh]] and [[Owl (Winnie the Pooh)|Owl]] then come in and try to guess what it is. Owl then says it is a running trophy, and they believe him, and ask Piglet why he never told them. Piglet says it's nothing, but they don't listen. Tigger then takes him outside and asks him how fast he can run to a tree far in the distance and back. Piglet doesn't do anything, but the friends believe it was so fast they couldn't see it! Owl says that traditionally races are held once a year to let other people have a chance at winning. Piglet tries to give it away, but Rabbit says that it must be won. They all leave, to train for the race, and Piglet is left confused and worried. While they are training, he tries to tell them once again, but they do not listen. That night, Piglet practices what he is going to say at the race tomorrow, saying that he has never won any trophies, so there is no need to have a race. The race day comes, but before Piglet can say it, Owl interrupts and says "Go", so the race begins! Gopher, Rabbit and Tigger are neck and neck, and Piglet is in last. Gopher skips climbing up a hill by digging through it so that he can be in first place, and Tigger breaks the bridge, causing Rabbit to fall. Meanwhile, Piglet helps [[Eeyore]] find his tail and puts it on his back which caused him to run right away. Tigger is in first place, but falls into one of Gopher's holes, and Piglet saves him. Next, one of Gopher's inflated boots deflate, but he has a spare and keeps racing. Unfortunately, the racers approach the swamp, and Tigger, Gopher, Rabbit and Eeyore are stuck. The racers beg Owl to get them out. But Owl, wanting to keep the race fair, refuses to help them, stating that whoever he helps out of the swamp first would gain an unfair advantage. Piglet witnesses this, and rushes to Pooh for help. Pooh tells him if they can't finish the race, bring the finish of the race to them. Piglet uses the finish line to pull Tigger, Gopher, Rabbit and Eeyore out of the swamp. Piglet still cannot tell them, so decides to do something unexpected and leave the Hundred Acre Wood. Owl, Tigger, Rabbit, Pooh, Gopher and Eeyore come to tell him he won, as he crossed the finish line first and saved them with it. Piglet is awarded the trophy, and says it'll look very good next to the trophy he won for weight lifting! Everybody stares at Piglet incredulously and he flexes a muscle, and says he's just kidding. ==Characters== * [[Winnie the Pooh]] (voiced by [[Jim Cummings]]) * [[Piglet]] (voiced by [[John Fiedler]]) * [[Tigger]] (voiced by [[Paul Winchell]]) * [[Rabbit]] (voiced by [[Ken Sansom]]) * [[Eeyore]] (voiced by [[Peter Cullen]]) * [[Gopher (Winnie the Pooh)|Gopher]] (voiced by [[Michael Gough]]) * [[Owl (Winnie the Pooh)|Owl]] (voiced by [[Hal Smith]]) == Trivia == * The trophy does look similar to the plant from the [[2008]] [[Disney]]/[[Pixar]] movie [[WALL-E (film)|WALL-E]].

81 billion lbs of copper & 46 million oz of gold, measured, indicated & inferred
Ivanhoe Mines Ltd. Vancouver, BC, (IVN:TSX,NYSE,NASDAQ) is focused on the development of its discoveries in the Asia Pacific region.
Core assets
- 66% interest in the world-scale Oyu Tolgoi copper and gold mine development project in southern Mongolia;
- its 57% interest in Mongolian coal miner SouthGobi Resources (SGQ:TSX,1878:HK);
- 62% interest in Ivanhoe Australia (IVA:ASX,TSX), which is developing the Merlin molybdenum-rhenium project in Australia;
- 50% interest in Altynalmas Gold Ltd., which is developing the Kyzyl Gold Project in Kazakhstan.
Oyu Tolgoi copper and gold mine development project in southern Mongolia
SEE: http://www.ivanhoemines.com/i/pdf/Ivanhoe_Master_November_9.pdf
Oyu Tolgoiis the world's largest undeveloped copper-gold project and is located in the South Gobi region of Mongolia, approximately 550 km south of the capital, Ulaanbaatar, and 80 km north of the Mongolia-China border.
Commercial Production - 2013
Based on Ivanhoe Mines' discoveries at Oyu Tolgoi during the past nine years, independently verified estimates indicate that Oyu Tolgoi contains approximately 81 billion pounds of copper and 46 million ounces of gold in measured, indicated and inferred resources.
The comprehensive Oyu Tolgoi Investment Agreement took effect March 31, 2010, following confirmation by the Government of Mongolia that procedural and administrative conditions contained in the Investment Agreement had been satisfied within the allocated six-month period that has followed the agreement's official signing in October 2009. The comprehensive Investment Agreement now has taken full legal effect.
On October 6, 2009, Ivanhoe Mines and Rio Tinto signed a long-term, comprehensive Investment Agreement with the Government of Mongolia for the construction and operation of the Oyu Tolgoi copper-gold mining complex. The agreement creates a partnership between the Mongolian Government -- which acquired a 34% interest in the project -- and Ivanhoe Mines, which retained a controlling 66% interest in Oyu Tolgoi. Global miner Rio Tinto, which joined Ivanhoe Mines as a strategic partner three years ago, presently holds a 49% interest in Ivanhoe Mines.
The Oyu Tolgoi Project initially is being developed as an open-pit operation, with the first phase of mining planned to start at the near-surface Southern and Central Oyu deposits. A copper concentrator plant, related facilities and necessary infrastructure that will support an initial throughput of 100,000 tonnes of ore per day are being constructed to process ore scheduled to be mined from the Southern Oyu open pit. The ore will provide feed for the commissioning of the concentrator in advance of the planned start of commercial production of copper-gold-silver concentrate in the first half of 2013
Ivanhoe Australia Limited (TSX:IVA)(ASX:IVA), is building a substantial Australian-based resources company focused on the exploration and development of its portfolio of mineral projects to build a series of operating mines within a mining-friendly, politically-safe, operating environment.
Ivanhoe Australia has assembled a significant package of Mineral Resources in the highly mineralised Cloncurry district, near Mount Isa, Queensland.
The nature of the geological systems indicates potential metal production could be both multifaceted and long term. Exploration success so far has revealed a portfolio of copper, molybdenum, rhenium and gold Mineral Resources.
Ivanhoe Australia has a strong development pipeline, with four main projects and other potential development opportunities.
The key development project is Merlin, which is the highest-grade molybdenum and rhenium project in the world. Significant progress has been made to bring the Merlin Project closer to production with commencement of the Merlin decline in late 2010 and preparation of the prefeasibility study. Development studies are also underway on the Copper-Gold business, Mount Elliott and Mount Dore.
The strategic acquisition of the Osborne Copper and Gold Complex in September 2010 will be key to transforming Ivanhoe Australia into a significant base metal producer.
The Osborne Complex is located approximately 50 kilometres south of Mount Dore and is propose to be connected by a haul road to enable the efficient transportation of ore from Merlin and other resources located adjacent to the road.
Development of the Osborne and Kulthor underground resources has started with copper and gold production planned to commence in Q1 2012 with ore processed through the Osborne Complex.
Exploration prospectively on Ivanhoe's wholly owned and JV tenements in the Cloncurry region and on its JV tenements in the Tennant Creek Mineral Field, NT, Australia, remains very high.
