We thoroughly examine the possibility of a second TV season of the "Seishun Buta Bastard" series, aka "Ao-buta", which aired in the fall of 2018 and will be released in a movie in 2019.
Based on the reputation of the first season and the movie, as well as the stock status of the original, I'm predicting a possible second season and a possible air date!
The duo's new masterpiece, "Sakura-so"
出典 : Amazon.co.jp
The "Seishun Buta Bastard" series is a light novel that began to be published by Dengeki Bunko in April 2014.
The author is Kazu Kamoshida and the illustrator is Mizoguchi Cage.
They're both familiar to lanobe fans from Sakura-so's Pet na Kanojo, too.
Released between January 2010 and March 2014, Sakura-so was a popular lanobe that sold a total of 1.88 million copies of the series in 10 volumes plus three short stories.
A TV anime was also broadcast from October 2012 to March 2013.
Aobuta is a new work that started just a month after the release of volume 10.5, the last volume of this Sakura-so! It was.
It's rare for an author and illustrator who created a hit novel to team up with a hit author and illustrator afterward. Instead, Fushimi Tsukasa and Kanzaki Hiro of "Ore no Imouto ga Konna ni Kawaii Wake ga Nai" (My Sister Isn't This Cute), and "Low Ki Buuuuut! of" Aoyama Sag-sensei & Tinkuru-sensei are known as a great duo.
Naturally, a duo with a proven track record of hits will be noticed by fans of their previous work, and the media has picked up on it in a big way, so the first volume of Aobuta, "Seishun Buta Bastard Doesn't See Bunny Girl Senpai's Dream" was released with great anticipation.
Since the title contains "bunny girl" and the heroine Mai Sakurajima actually appears in a bunny girl outfit from the beginning of the book, it seems that more than a few readers were expecting a sexy romantic comedy at first, but in reality it is a SF romantic comedy with a rather heavy setting that deals with a fictional disease called "adolescent syndrome".
By the time the second volume, "Seishun Buta Bastard Doesn't See Petit Devil Junior's Dream" was released, its style had also become popular among romance fans, and it was starting out strong, coming in third place in the Light Novel Twitter Cup for the first half of 2014.
The reason why the Aobuta series became one of the most popular works is probably because of the fifth volume, "Seishun Buta Bastard Doesn't See the Dreams of His Sister Orusuban".
The secret of Kaede Azsagawa, the younger sister of the main character Sakuta Azsagawa, was revealed, and this volume, which depicted a happy but sad farewell, was well received by the fans of light novels and sales increased.
Furthermore, the stories of the subsequent volumes 6 and 7, "Seishun Buta Bastard Doesn't Dream the Dream of the Girl Who Dreams" and "Seishun Buta Bastard Doesn't Dream the Dream of the Girl Who Dreams the Dream of the Girl Who Dreams the Dream", were so highly acclaimed that a TV anime adaptation was decided in 2018.
Moreover, the movie adaptation was announced before it aired, which was an unusual development.
The total number of copies of this series will be 1.5 million as of 2019.
If it continues to grow steadily, it is expected to become a hit, even surpassing Sakura-so.
Revenge is a success! Both the first season and the movie were hits
出典 : Amazon.co.jp
In fact, there is one factor that Aobuta has already surpassed Sakura-so in terms of sales.
This is the sales of the anime on Blu-ray and DVD (discs).
Sakura-so was a popular romantic comedy that was well-liked by many people, and the anime received a lot of positive feedback right from the start of its broadcast, and was steadily gaining fans.
However, an incident broke out in the sixth episode that was broadcasted in November 2012.
What was "simple porridge" in the original story was changed to "samgyetang" in the anime, which caused a firestorm and even led to a boycott of the show.
This led to Sakura-so being stingy in a way that had nothing to do with the content of the work, and the average number of discs released afterwards was only about 3,000, and a second season was never produced.
Fortunately, Aobuta ended up on the air without any flames.
It was supported by many anime fans from the air, and it became an impressive hit, selling about 8,000 discs per volume and averaging about 7,000 copies for all volumes, giving Sakura-So its revenge.
Furthermore, the theatrical version of "Seishun Buta Bastard Doesn't Dream the Dream Girl's Dream", which will be released in 2019, was initially released on a relatively small scale on 31 screens, but due to its popularity, the number of screens eventually increased to 95.
It was a huge hit, earning over 500 million yen at the box office and selling over 30,000 discs.
With such good numbers, a second season is a certainty, but in reality, we can't be that optimistic.
There is a tendency for anime based on Dengeki Bunko to not get a second season produced.
In 2017, Eromanga Sensei sold well enough to slightly outperform this Aobuta, but three years later, we haven't heard of a second season.
This isn't a recent trend, but rather the fact that Dengeki works have always taken a long time to decide on a second season, and "Magic High School's Inferior Students", which sold over 10,000 discs, will finally have a second season in 2020, 6 years after the first season.
Since it is a Dengeki Bunko production, strong sales do not necessarily mean that a second season will be produced immediately.
On the other hand, while it may take some time, there is data that shows a high probability of a second season coming.
In most cases, the new TV anime series is broadcasted after the movie version has been produced.
The five Dengeki Bunko original anime that were produced after the release of the movie version are "Kino's Journey", "Shakugan no Shana", "To Aru Majutsu no Index", "Sword Art Online", and "Puella Magica High School's Inferior Students".
In contrast, the only anime that hasn't been heard from since it was made into a movie is "Accel World".
It can be said that works that have been made into movies are the ones that have been viewed in the long run.
Therefore, it can be said that Aobuta is a title that the label is putting a lot of effort into, and the probability of a second season being produced is quite high.

Introduction: Outdoor Side Table From Two 2x4s and a Bag of Concrete
In this Instructable I'll show you how to make an Outdoor Side Table with a concrete top from just two 2x4's and a bag of concrete. I actually built two tables with my buddy Pete from DIY Pete as part of the #two2x4challenge. I even upped the ante by only using two power tools as well. With a drill, circular saw and a few other tools you can build these!
If you want to see a little more detail on the build and download plans, you can head over to my DIY Outdoor Side Table post on my site.
Be sure to watch the video above, and if you like it please subscribe to my YouTube channel!
Step 1:
Tools Used
- RIDGID 18v Circular Saw
- RIDGID 18v Hammer Drill
- Carpenter Square
- Pocket hole jig
- 24" Quick Clamp
- 12" Quick Clamp
- 50" Edge Guide (optional)
- Hoe or shovel
- Concrete Mixing Tub
Materials/Supplies (2 side tables)
- (4) 8' 2x4 cedar boards
- (1) 2'x4′ 3/4″ melamine sheet
- (2) 60lb bag concrete mix
- 2" drywall screws
- 2-1/2″ Exterior Pocket Hole Screws
- Outdoor spar urethane
- 1″ rubber feet
- Silicone caulk
- Concrete sealer
Step 2: Build the Form for the Concrete Tops
I started by building the forms for the tops so I could pour the concrete and let it start curing. I cut four 1-1/2" strips from a piece of melamine. I left two strips long and cut the others to three 20" pieces.
I attached the strips on edge to the larger melamine sheet with 2" screws. The 1-1/2" width of the strips will be the thickness of the tops when done.
I attached the strips to form two 20" x 20" openings for the concrete. Then we vacuumed and sealed the edges and corners of the form with silicone caulk.
Step 3: Pour the Concrete in the Form
We used quickrete 5000 for this build. Pete mixed the concrete to an oatmeal consistency then we worked it into the form. Vibrating the form helps get the air bubbles out.
When the form was full I used a scrap of wood to screed the top and level it off. We put the form inside to cure and moved to the base.
Step 4: Build the Base of the Side Table
I cut all the parts for the based from only two 2x4's. I used a carpenter square to get 90 degree cuts with the circular saw which worked out well.
After cutting the 11 parts (4 legs, 2 lower sides, 2 upper sides, 2 aprons and 1 lower stretcher) I drilled pocket holes in all the parts except the legs using my pocket hole jig.
I made two u-shaped assemblies then attached them with the aprons. I put the upper sides on each piece then attached the lower stretcher to complete the base.
Step 5: Finish the Base
I applied 4 coats of spar urethane to the tables to give them a nice finish that would wear well outside.
When the finish was dry I attached rubber feet to the bases to keep them off the ground and water away from the wood.
Step 6: Finish the Concrete Tops
The next day we took the concrete out of the forms. I sanded the edges with 120 grit paper to knock down any unevenness. Then I mixed up a little of the concrete (after filtering out the large aggregate pieces) and filled in any of the small holes or voids that were left in the concrete top sides and corners.
I let the top dry for a couple days then sealed it with a concrete sealer.
Step 7: Attach the Tops
When the sealer was dry I attached the tops to the based using a few dabs of caulk on the corners. The weight of the tops will keep them in place under normal use.
I have a whole patio furniture set that I've build including a Modern Outdoor Sofa, Patio Cooler/Grill Cart Combo, and a Concrete Coffee Table. You can go check those builds out if you want to see more outdoor projects.

LISTEN NOW! John and Pat discuss John's move down to the emerald coast. He continues to discuss his travels driving a 26 foot truck, towing his car and family following in a separate car. They discuss some of the beautiful landscapes he saw on his trip including the huge mountains in the Shenandoah Valley of West Virginia. John continues to share how steep the mountains were and that when he had the gas pedal pressed to the floorboard the truck would only go 35 miles an hour. As they continued to speak about the beautiful mountains and valleys John describes how it felt coming down a 6 mile stretch off the mountain. It was a very steep decline which would cause you to ride the brakes all the way down. The truck at that point was traveling at very high speeds. The steep decline can be so dangerous that on the side of the mountain a strip of the mountain was constructed for runaway truck so they can bring their trucks into what looks like a slope to avoid crashing and collisions. They continued to discuss that so many people are living their lives at 100 mph recklessly down a slippery slope decline all the while ignoring God's warning signs; flashing lights, stop signs, U Turn, Dead End… Sometimes there are even runaway ramps set up by God where you can bring your out of control life crashing into. It's a safe place; a place for you to come to and that's at the feet of Jesus, in repentance. It's time get off this reckless road and get onto the highway to heaven but that can only happen through repentance.

Well it's been nearly two months since we started self isolation. Since that last trip, I've been in the physical presence of four strangers which is pretty remarkable (always masked up). Some notes on living this way:
- Goodness, nerds like me are dangerous, but a combination of Zoom and work keeps me busy. This is hard, but knowing that people are always home does mean that if your family ducks, they are really ducking you 🙂
- Doing something. It is really hard to know that there is so much hardship everyone, but picking up something (anything really) to focus on is good for the soul and good for people. We've been investing in non-profits by donating masks and for those of you with computer skills, it is a great time to help people. Let me know if you want to!
- The small things, this is a great time to learn. Basically every conference is now available free on the web. ICLR, for instance, was completely free and you don't have to travel. Also, there are so many great webinars on this that its a good time to learn.
- Exercise. Well, that's a problem, but a good book tape plus a set of stairs is all that you need. I can do an hour's walk that way. Finally hat tip to Steve and Brad, having a trainer and a bicycle has been good. I've been horrible about really focused training. I have found Zwift kind of fun (they own Sufferfest and SpeedPlay now too!), but Trainer Road at least for me is serious and hard. The training regimes are good. Zwift has the same thing, but I find Trainer Road more focused. This is a great time to get into FTP improvement, these things are just an hour or two and slay you.
- Managing your time, having your computer announce on the half hour what you are doing is essential, so you don't lose track. Also having Trello with scrum points is great too. I just estimate how long something takes where 1 point is one hour and that works pretty well. I've been trying out Asana as well, but the simplicity of the layout of Trello is pretty compelling. Asana has more complex layouts and is somewhere between Trello and Jira. Personally, if things get complicated, I move from Trello right to Github.
- Hydration. Man, you do get thirsty at a computer. Having a water bottle really helps.
- Multiple screens are pretty essential when you do this much work from home. I have four right now. There is the main 32" screen and using Divvy to divide that monitor up into four pieces is important. This lets you have your Zoom call in the upper left and you can see the slides on the upper right. Then you can leave work to do in the lower right and left. That way you do not "lose" things. The MacBook screen, I leave my project management stuff on there. Then I have an iPad Pro on the right. This has just one thing, the router bandwidth. Debugging this is essential in the real world. The final thing is new, a Facebook Portal. Yes, I know it's nerdy, but there are times when you want to do a quick call and you have another Zoom going. And you want to listen to a third (which I can do with my iPhone and AirPods). ugh, does that sound nerdy 🙂
Finally hats off to all the delivery folks and people out on the front lines working. That isn't easy. I would say 90% do not have masks or gloves, so we've started just giving them to drivers and so forth. It would help if it became the new norm. Sigh.

What is dental erosion?
Erosion is the loss of tooth enamel caused by acid attack. Enamel is the hard, protective coating of the tooth, which protects the sensitive dentine underneath. When the enamel is worn away, the dentine underneath is exposed, which may lead to pain and sensitivity.
Dental erosion, also known as tooth erosion, is the largely preventable yet irreversible damage to tooth structure due from exposure of acids through food or drink, or from sometimes chronic medical conditions that are not dental related. It has only been recently, that tooth erosion has been recognized as a dental health problem despite it being commonly present especially among children and teenagers.
Tooth Wear & Erosion Causes
Most often, tooth erosion is caused by consumption of acidic foods and drinks – typically those which have a ph that is below 5.7. Sodas and other carbonated drinks, including those that are diet or un-caffeinated, are a frequent culprit along with fruit juices, especially those that contain citrus.
With dental erosion, the damage is caused by citric and phosphoric acids.
Saliva is designed to act as a buffer that regulates the impact of acidic drinks that have been consumed but some drinks have a resistance to the effect. Research has concluded that fruit juices are the most resistance to saliva benefits.
Other drinks include:
- Fruit based carbonated drinks
- Flavoured mineral waters
- Other carbonated drinks such as sodas and mineral water
- Some medications such as vitamin c.
Conditions such as acid reflux, heartburn, indigestion and more serious medical problems like anorexia and bulimia can also contribute to tooth erosion.
Symptoms of tooth erosion
- Discolouration – Since the dentine of the tooth is exposed during tooth erosion, discolouration or yellowing of the teeth can occur. The more dentine that is exposed, the more yellow the teeth will become.
- Tooth Sensitivity – Sensitive teeth are very common symptoms of tooth erosion because the enamel that protects the teeth wears away, leaving exposed dentine.
- Rounded teeth – During the early stages of tooth erosion, it is common for teeth to have a rounded look.
- Transparent or sand blasted appearance – It is not uncommon in the early stages of tooth erosion for the teeth to have a sand blasted look or for the tips of the front teeth to look transparent.
- Cracking – If tooth erosion continues into the advanced stage, the edges of the teeth can start to crack and have a rough feeling.
- Dents – Little dents can start to appear on the biting areas on the teeth.
- Extreme sensitivity – The teeth can become extremely sensitive during the advanced stage of tooth erosion.
Treatment of tooth wear
Consult a dentist about treatment options to restore enamel. Your treatment will depend on the level of erosion and presence of cavities, and can include crowns, composite fillings or veneers.
- Crowns can be used to cap the teeth and restore them to their original shape.
- Veneers cover eroded, cracked, broken or chipped teeth and help prevent further erosion.
- Composite fillings can be used to repair cavities, which contribute to tooth erosion. These fillings are designed to smooth out surfaces and decrease tooth sensitivity.
How can you protect tooth enamel from erosion?
Good dental care can help prevent tooth enamel from erosion.
- Cut down on acidic drinks and foods, such as carbonated drinks and citrus fruit juices. If you do drink them, do so at meal times to minimise their effects on the enamel.
- Rinse your mouth with water right after having acidic foods or drinks.
- Drink fizzy drinks and fruit juices with a straw which helps acids to bypass the teeth.
- Finish a meal with a glass of milk or a piece of cheese to neutralise acids.
- Chew sugar free gum with xylitol, which helps neutralise acids from foods and drinks.
- Drink more water during the day if you have a dry mouth or low saliva problems.
- Use a soft toothbrush and avoid brushing too vigorously.
- Wait for at least 30 minutes to brush teeth after they have been exposed to acids in foods or drinks. Acid leaves the enamel softened and more prone to erosion during brushing.
Use fluoride toothpaste to strengthen your teeth against decay.
You should have your teeth checked regularly by your dentist to prevent the need for tooth enamel restoration. When dental erosion is caught early, your dentist is able to suggest treatment that may prevent further erosion or tooth decay.
Blue Court Dental Centre in Harrow offers a range of dental hygiene preventive treatments to help you keep your teeth for life.

What is a Psychologist?
Psychologists study the human mind and human behaviour. As a discipline, psychology examines the questions, issues, and problems related to behaviour and mental health.
Psychologists may assess and diagnose behavioural, emotional, and cognitive disorders, provide counselling and therapy, and engage in research. According to the Canadian Psychological Association (CPA), psychologists work with individuals, groups, and communities.
Psychologists may also specialize in a variety of sub-specialties, including child psychology, cognitive psychology, education and school psychology, neuropsychology, sports psychology, or cognitive psychology.
Education and training
Generally, students can take four years to complete an undergraduate bachelor's degree in psychology, another two years to complete a master's degree, and four years to complete a Ph.D. Doctoral degrees in professional streams of psychology such as clinical neuropsychology, counselling, or clinical psychology all include a practicum and internship, additional courses, and examination requirements.
In some provinces, board interviews and oral examinations are also required. To practice psychology in these areas, a practitioner must be licensed. Licensure is beneficial to both the psychologist and their clients as it provides a rigorous and high standard of practice and also protects clients? interests.
The requirements for licensure vary across the country. For instance, currently in Alberta, Quebec, New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador, and the Northwest Territories those with a master's degree can be licensed to practice as a psychologist.
In British Columbia, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario, Prince Edward Island, and Nova Scotia a doctorate degree is required. For complete details please see the Canadian Psychological Association's Provincial and Territorial licensing requirements.
Admission requirements
There are over 30 universities that offer graduate training in Canada. The Canadian Psychological Association (CPA) has a document describing the various psychology graduate programs, including admission information, contacts, and grade requirements.
Athabasca University offers a guide outlining the steps required to becoming a psychologist, describing program entry, research options, online resources, and talking to a career advisor.
Where do psychologists work?
Clinical psychologists work in hospitals, correctional facilities, mental health and addiction centres, as well as private clinics as individual practitioners or as part of a larger group of health care providers, with school boards, and with various levels of government. Over 70 per cent of psychologists work in health care and social services while the rest work in education and public administration.
Psychologists actively conduct research in a variety of settings. Research psychologists investigate the physical, cognitive, emotional, or social aspects of human behaviour. Some psychologists work with human participants while others focus their attention on laboratory animals.
The different areas of research include addiction, depression, anxiety, phobias, brain injury, pain management, stress, anger, and the application of psychology factors to issues such as motivation, healthy workplaces, and preventing disease.
Salaries and demographic information
According to Service Canada, psychologists earn an average of $29.97 per hour in Canada.
Hourly wages (adapted from Living in Canada) for different cities are found below:
Average hourly wages (2004 – 2007) for psychologists across selected Canadian cities
In Alberta, part-time and full-time psychologists earned from $48,000 to over $100,000 per year. The average salary was over $78,000.
Women comprise 64 per cent of psychologists. The majority of psychologists (79 per cent) were 25 – 54 years of age, 12 per cent were older than 55, and 10 per cent were 24 or younger.
For more information regarding psychology, please visit the Canadian Psychological Association website.

I've always loved my bath time ritual. There's something so calming about it. From the minute you start drawing a bath, every step of the process helps your mind unwind and your body detox. Even if you can't get to the spa right now, you can create a total sanctuary for yourself in your bathroom.
You can use bath salts for a lot of things: detoxifies the body, soothes muscles, reduces swelling, and can even help you get a better night of sleep. Goop's Martini Emotional Detox salts are a great place to start. This yuzu salt duo comes in a beautiful package, so you can leave it out for an Instagram worthy bathroom. Stressed out? Shake in some Lord Jones CBD Bath Salts.
The bubblier the bath, the better. Antica Farmacista's beautiful bottle and citrus scent keeps things refreshing. Susanne Kaufman's splurge-worthy Mallow Bath delivers a fine foam while supporting your immune system.
A good body wash will change the way you think about bathing. I love this jumbo sized Kiehl's wash in a bright grapefruit scent. Necessaire's Body Wash is packed with niacinamide, which helps protect your skin from environmental stress like pollution and toxins.
When you're out of the bath, make sure to lock in the hydration to keep your skin smooth and soft. Go for Lord Jones CBD Body Oil if you're still feeling extra achy. OSea's algae body oil uses botanicals from seaweed to help firm and hydrate skin.
The best way to enjoy a bath is with a great book and a glass of wine, but you don't want to risk a soggy book. Get a bath caddy! This bamboo one or this sleek silver one from Williams Sonoma will help keep your bestseller above water.

Tamara took me with her twin brothers and one of the women in her family to visit the summer church dedicated to the Virgin Mary. The long climb up is marked with excerpts from Matthew 25, the passages talking about caring "for the least of these." The photos include the view half way up and from the top. It was a wonderful way to spend time with new friends. Very beautiful.
On the way back from the church visit, Tamara pointed out the thorns grown to keep people out of the vineyards.

Source: TASS Russian News Agency
MOSCOW, February 3. /TASS/. The forthcoming Holy and Great Council of the Orthodox Church that is due to convene on the Isle of Crete this summer will endorse decisions only upon consent of all the fourteen Patriarchs of canonical national Orthodox Churches, Metropolitan Hilarion, the chairman of Moscow Patriarchate's Department for External Church Relations said on Wednesday.
"All the decisions at the Pan-Orthodox Council will be taken by consensus," he said at a news conference upon the results of a session of the Council of Bishops of the Russian Church.
"This means each national Orthodox Church will have a delegation of twenty-four (or fewer but in no way more – TASS) bishops that will have one vote," Metropolitan Hilarion said.
All in all, representatives of all the fourteen commonly recognized Churches are expected to take part in the Council's sessions, he said adding: "If at least one of them speaks out against any decision, it won't be adopted. And if at least one Church disagrees with an opinion, it won't be accepted."
The Metropolitan feels confident that "the Council will be held in a fraternal atmosphere that will enable us to discuss the problems, on which we have consensus."
"That's why we put forward the idea of solving all the outstanding problems by consensus," he said.
Efforts to prepare the Pan-Orthodox Council started out as far back as in 1961 and have been proceeding with certain intervals ever since then. It is likely to become a milestone event for the entire Orthodox world.
Each national Orthodox Church will send 24 bishops to the Council.
Apart from the Russian Church, there are fifteen national or autocephalous Eastern Orthodox Churches that function independently of one another but are linked through liturgical communion with the Church of Constantinople (Turkey), the Church of Alexandria (Egypt), the Church of Antioch (Syria), the Church of Jerusalem, the Georgian, Serbian, Romanian, Bulgarian, Cyprian, Helladic, Polish and Slovak Churches, and the American Church.
The Russian Orthodox Church with an estimated congregation of about 50 million believers is the largest of them.
The last officially recognized Pan-Orthodox Council, which is recognized by the Eastern Orthodox Churches as an ecumenical one, took place in Constantinople in 879.

Brainwashed! And they never ever respond to any actual footage like the thousands of Tamil civilians running away from the LTTE and the LTTE shooting them down. The World saw the footage but not the Tamil Diaspora.
Even in the international news when interviewing the Ltte Tamil supporters, they cannot give an answer to the question on the footage.
If the tamil civilians wanted to be with the LTTE, why are thousands and thousands running to the Govt. held areas and why are the LTTE shooting them as they are running?????? Please watch the actual international footage!!!!!Anonymoushttps://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-2468613367801394261.post-16759883656865996802009-04-28T19:40:00.000+05:302009-04-28T19:40:00.000+05:30Great work !!

As a SRI LANKAN i would say one thing to all who are blaming our government regarding violence on tamils. Just have a look on all the facts, the government and the majority of sinhalese are not letting down the tamils, but without any concern about the race and other facts, they are providing their FULLEST SUPPORT TOWARDS TAMILS.

* we are against the LTTE, NOT THE TAMILS!!

This is the very base of freedom (to express yourself) that is demonstrated.

LTTE propaganda or not I think the 'students' have all the right to say what they have to say.

It is the organizers of the show's responsibility to do their own research and decide what to do.

I can understand the Sinhala community for getting upset over this, but it is the Sinhala community which perpetrated the atrocities that had lead to things now in Sri Lanka.

So, let them express themselves the reason for what & why they are are there.DPRAJ26https://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-2468613367801394261.post-53815567066051015972009-04-22T11:20:00.000+05:302009-04-22T11:20:00.000+05:30If you seriously think that killing THOUSANDS AND ...If you seriously think that killing THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS of INNOCENT civilians every week by the SL army is ok - then go ahead vote for your ridiculous petition that is completely a LIE - can't believe any sane human being would frame the tamil students as terrorists. They are peacfully walking for their fellow tamils' in sri lanka who are treated as slaves and being tortured every single day - You are all bloody ignorant and inhumane. Just like the jews got eradicated, this is the SL government's plot to eradicate tamils as if they were not human beings. To all the singlasese people votig for their petition out there - HOW WOULD YOU FEEL IF YOU WERE THE MINORITY GETTING WIPED OUT? Seriously, you are all extremely ignorant if you don't see the TRUTH. Read up on your damn history - then you'll know that the tamils starting fighting for their freedom against the singhalese thugs that began the raping, killing and slaughter of tamils. It was merely self-defence and now you're defending a party that is equal to or worse than the Nazi's. Get some education and read up on unbiased objective history from the last 100years then you'll realise that you signing that petition is the same as signing to allow the deaths of thousands of innocent human beings. Obviously, this is a huge conspiracy. DON'T BE IGNORANT OF THE REAL AND HIDDEN TRUTH. 'Sybil' above, is obviously as ignorant as the rest of you people believing that they are terrorists. How would you feel if tomorrow, you knew, that more innocent people are going to die - what if they weren't tamils, what if they were singhlase? When was the last time innocent singhalese civilians died in sri lanka? NEVER - only the tamils continue be killed - don't you see that there is something wrong with your view? You must all become more aware of what makes more sense and what is reall ythe truth. Deep down every singhalese man or woman knows that tamils are being killed for no reason. They know it - they are just too scared to accept it.pro_human_lifehttps://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-2468613367801394261.post-42098190260994837842009-04-22T09:06:00.000+05:302009-04-22T09:06:00.000+05:30The TRUTH cannot be manipulated.

Of course this is true. They cannot air the show without talking to the boys and Oprah first.
The report above doesn't mention the fact that Oprah will speak to the boys. That's all they wanted. She will hear them out and from that, she will make the necessary decisions about her show.
The fact the Sri Lanka declined Obama's request to end the war will work in our favour.

To add, If you look at the polls ,Current Results Show:
Yes - 79% (71300)
No - 20% (17825)
Total Votes: 89125
If you go to: Oprah Winfrey, Say No to Tamil Tiger Terrorists Petition
There are 17758 signed signatures which is roughly what the poll says. So the poll is correct. For those who are unaware, everyone (i.e IP addresses) are only allowed one vote. Which means the same person (IP address) cannot vote twice – this makes the polls fair.

We also received numerous txt messages, emails and facebook messages asking us to vote. Over 250,000 protested in London two weeks ago. There are a lot more Tamils around the world than people think

The photos show blisters. And blog entries and photos stopped because these boys are more worried about getting to their destination than updating the Sinhala public that are trying to stop them. They are talking to media and working on more important things.
I'm sure the Oprah show is well aware of where they are and when they will arrive at Harpo Studios - The Tamils certainly do :)
I'm sure you would have heard of the mob attacks on Tamils by the Sinhalese around the world (Melbourne for example) and the threatening phone calls we are getting to stop the protests - well why would the boys advertise where they are - they will only get a bunch of idiots attacking them. To be fair. They are only 6 boys – they cannot fight a bunch of crazy attackers who will come at them with knifes (like we did during our protest) and who knows what else. They are walking in areas where there are not witnesses – no smart person would advertise where they are.

Also, Who do you think Oprah will listen to - people that are sitting around writing and signing petitions or people that have WALKED 850km to see her. I'm she's doing her research as we speak and she's smart. She knows that SL doesn't allow international media in and that they are hiding something. She'll get the truth. She'll take the time to listen to these boys. They are doing this for the innocent civilians. That's what's important to us.

The reason why the walk is taking long is that they are bringing awareness to each city they visit. They talk to media, work on logistics and rest between walks. Maybe it's hard for people to understand that it's hard to walk when you're working against the conditions. It's not like Sri Lanka. It's freezing cold in Canada.

This is an innovative move by the Tamil boys and I'm proud to say I'm Tamil. We are doing everything we can to stop the genocide. We have come through years of oppression and we are fighting for equal rights. We are risking our lives to save our own. Protests, Mountain Climbs, Walks from one country to another and hunger strikes prove that we want peace more than anyone else in Sri Lanka.

The truth is that these guys are doing it for the civilians in Sri Lanka. The women, the men and children who are caught up in the war. People should stop the hate and start the support. They are doing it for SRI LANKANS – unless you believe that Tamils don't deserve the same rights as the Sinhalese– we are all human, aren't we? We should be treated equally.

It's a publicity stunt and nothing else. If you just asked your leader to allow the civilians go, there would be no crisis. Any ways there's only few days left and you'll are aware of the capabilities of the Sri Lankan forces. Sinhalese people gave in for too long. SL Government invited your uneducated leader for peace talks, ceasefires but he did not have the brain to understand any of those good deeds. Now the last hour has come. We really understand the situation of all the Terrorist Supporters but we will do our best to look after the brothers and sisters who escaped from LTTE.

Sri Lanka is a country for all people although you people are claiming Genocide and Discrimination when there are many of your people living a good lives and enjoying privileges. The LTTE cannot get away from violence against its own people. The Tamil Civilians are of little value to the LTTE. Shame on you to call yourself a Tamil and support those who kill your own people. What happened to the moderate Tamil politicians? Who killed them? Even the civilians who were running for their lives today (Apr 20th) were shot and suicide bombed. What barbarians. There's no more room for violence in Sri Lanka. No more LTTE killers will be tolerated. Oprah is not a fool. She would have researched all about the killers you all support. The Sinhalese people have shown more compassion for the civilians than all of you. Did any of you tell the LTTE once to let them go free? NO. Do you love your people or the LTTE killers? Elam?

ESPN analyst proposes Dolphins make this trade with Giants
The Miami Dolphins have had a jampacked offseason.
They fired Brian Flores and hired Mike McDaniel to run their team along with a number of new positional coaches and a new offensive coordinator. They traded for wide receiver Tyreek Hill and gave him a monster extension. A number of new free agents found their way to Miami, including top free agent Terron Armstead. They straightened out Xavien Howard's contract situation and drafted four rookies.
Despite all of that, ESPN's Mike Clay believes there's still another move that could be made. He thinks the Dolphins could trade running back Myles Gaskin to the New York Giants in exchange for wide receiver Darius Slayton.
Random trade idea –
Giants get: Myles Gaskin
Dolphins get: Darius Slayton
Matt Breida is currently Saquon Barkley's primary backup and its no secret they've been trying to move Slayton, who would compete for #4 duties in Miami. Gaskin is currently RB4 in Miami.
— Mike Clay (@MikeClayNFL) July 1, 2022
With the Dolphins adding Chase Edmonds, Raheem Mostert, Sony Michel and undrafted rookie ZaQuandre White to a backfield that already had Gaskin, Salvon Ahmed and Gerrid Doaks, there will be some tough cuts by the start of the regular season.
The Dolphins may want to capitalize on this opportunity and get something for Gaskin, who may not play a ton this year and is set to be a free agent in 2023.
However, Miami is pretty deep at wide receiver as well. They currently have tough choices to make with Hill, Jaylen Waddle, Cedrick Wilson Jr., Erik Ezukanma, Preston Williams, Lynn Bowden Jr., River Cracraft, Trent Sherfield, DeVonte Dedmon, Braylon Sanders and Cody Core on the roster.
At best, Slayton, who's entering the final year of his rookie deal as well, would be fighting for the fourth receiver spot on the depth chart.
Miami may be more interested in a deal for Gaskin if the return was a player at a position of need or a draft pick.

55K – Course Overview
Starting near North Fork Park, Liberty UT, the course points directly uphill. In the shadow of the famous Ben Lomond Peak, yes famous, you will twist and turn on the switchbacks for 6 miles before arriving at the "saddle" where you will connect to the Skyline Trail and be greeted by Aid Station #1 (Ben Lomond Saddle). From Aid Station #1, 55K runners will continue their climb up to Ben Lomond Peak. This will be a short but grueling out-n-back where runners will bag their first peak of the day. Once runners get their sticker at the peak, they will point it back down to AS#1 which for them will be AS#2 and from there they have a fast, flat and downhill cruise to AS#3 (North Ogden Divide). From Aid Station #3, runners point the legs up the steep section of the South Skyline Trail. Just 3 miles up the trail you will find Aid Station #4 (Lewis Peak Saddle) this section is rather brutal but it is also one of the coolest ridge line trails around. From Aid Station #4 runners will have the second out-n-back of the day. It is a beautiful 2.5 miles to Lewis Peak, where they will pick up their second sticker and bag their second peak for the day. From the peak, runners head back up the trail where they will arrive back at the previous aid station location and now their Aid Station #5 (Lewis Peak Saddle, also known as Aid Station #4). From Aid Station #5 runners have a long fast downhill to Aid Station #6 (Windsurfers Beach). From Aid Station #6 runners are now on the home stretch. Following the shoreline of Pineview Reservoir runners make their way northeast to the Eden Park, the Hearthside Reception Center and the Finish Line. Make sure to be aware of the two three road crossings and boat traffic on the loading ramp.

Race Info
Packet Pickup
Packet pickup is Friday August 11th, 2023 at Striders / Fleet Feet in Ogden, from 4:00 pm to 7:00 pm. The address is 1937 S Washington Blvd, Ogden, UT 84401. Big thanks to our Partners for all their help. Please make sure to say thanks to their employees and the volunteers for helping all you crazy people.
There is No race day packet pickup. If you are not able to pick you packet up on Friday, you can pick it up during regular business hours on Wednesday or Thursday at the same location. If you do not pick it up prior to Saturday morning, you will receive a DNS… No "I'm sorry", or "I forgot"… Packet pick up on the day of the race, is time consuming and creates problems. Please try to avoid it. If you do have a really good reason, you can always ask and we could say yes, but we try hard not to, for the sake of the other runners. The Start line is always very busy, so please do your best to pick up the night before.
Start Time
The Marathon and 55K start at 5:00 am. Remember, participants will be parking at the Finish area and boarding a shuttle that will take them to the Start Line. Parking at the start line is very limited. Just ride the bus!
Check in Procedures
Check in will happen when you get off the bus at the start line. Everyone must check in at the start line. Yes, you checked in and got your bib. Yes, you got on the bus, but if you do not check in at the start line, you will receive DNS (Did not start) and if you get lost you will be on your own because we will not know you are on the trail… So PLEASE remember to check in at the start line.
Check in is from 4:15 am – 5:00 am….. Please do not show up at 4:45. Just get on the bus, show up a bit early, check in, and warm up. We will need to take your temperature and ask you questions.
Parking is available in the field directly south of the finish line. There will be a sign telling you where to park. You may also park on the east side of Eden Park. Do not park on the north end as this is where the runners enter and it is no fun to have cars weaving through the runners. Please see the marking diagram.
Shuttle Leaves Eden Park at 4:15 a.m.
Worse case scenario you miss the shuttle, you can still drive to the start line, but you have to find your own ride back to your car, because there will not be one provided. And this doesn't mean you can pretend you missed the shuttle just so you can park at the start line. You are paying for the bus, just use it please!
Start: Runners will start at 5:00 am in a mass start
Awards / Raffle
Awards will be given to the top three men and women. The awards ceremony will be held as soon as those top three finish.
Rules and Regs
All 55K runners are required to pick up a sticker at Ben Lomond Peak and Lewis Peak as proof that you arrived at the peak. Pick it up and stick it on your bib. This way no one can question your crazy fast time. And hey, its another peak…. why stop short?
Dropping Out
If for some reason you need to withdrawal from the race, you need to let the volunteers at the aid station know. We so not recommend withdrawing while up on the skyline trail. If you do that, you will still need to walk down. If you are unable to go further, ask another runner to inform the aid station that you are in need of help. In this situation search and rescue will be called out to extract you from the mountain.
I know this is a tough subject on both sides, but the answer is no. Dogs are not allowed to run with you during the event. We love them to, but there is just to much potential for problems. And yes, we know your dog would never do that and is the best behaved dog on the trail, but even if this really is the case, the answer is still not. Feel free to bring them on all your training runs, just dont bring them on race day. Thanks for understanding.
Pacers are welcome to run with you from Aid Station #2 (North Ogden Divide Parking Lot). But they can not start with you. And if they are pacing you please remind them that they did not pay for the race, so please go easy on the aid station grub.
Headphones are welcome, but we recommend that you keep them at a decent volume or keep one ear free, so you can hear whats going on around you. We don't want you to wet yourself when someone comes up behind you or even worse, not hear a rattle snake or a moose that has it out for you.

The WSJ report said Cisco, which has about 75,000 employees, declined to say how many employees would lose their jobs or what areas of Cisco would be impacted.
"This is part of an ongoing process of aligning our investments and resources to meet the evolving needs of our customers and partners," Cisco said in an email statement to FierceTelecom. "Our continued focus is on transforming Cisco and driving the innovation that will secure the long-term, profitable growth of the business. We will always offer our full support to impacted employees."
In previous earnings calls, Cisco CEO Chuck Robbins has downplayed the significance of the trade tariff wars with China, and said that while Cisco didn't have a large presence there, it had factored a China slowdown into its guidance.

Moving out is a big stress in itself. Then comes along the tension of transporting the stuff to another place. In the earlier days, there were not any moving companies that will take all your stuff and transport them to your new home. People had to do it themselves, which to note, was very difficult and frustrating. You already have the stress and the planning to do for the new job in the new city, and transporting the luggage only adds more and more to it. In simpler words, your mind would have been a mess if you had to do it yourself. Hence, shipping companies came in. People thought that people are having too much trouble moving all their luggage out and then rearranging it in their new house.
Now, you can call up any of the shipping companies, ask for their quotes and cek ongkos kirim, and decide the most suitable one.
Leave all tension on the outside of the door:
Shipping companies are the second most helpful thing in the entire moving process. The most helpful is the company that hired you for a job in another city or country. Anyway, so, the moving company gives you many choices regarding your choice of vehicle. Depending on the number of boxes your stuff can fit inside, you can pick any kind of vehicle to ensure the safety of it all. In an increasing range of weights, you get the following vehicles to choose from economy car, van, pickup truck, Engkel box, light Fuso, heavy Fuso, and Tronton box. You can check, bargain, and confirm the full shipping costs before signing on the papers.
Although the price is an important factor in deciding among many shippers, you must always go with the one that you can trust. You must trust the people with your luggage.

Working in TV shows means long shooting schedule and pressure but actress Divyanka Tripathi, who will be next seen in "Mera Tera Rishta Purana", says the best part about her new show is that the team is very professional.
"Mera Tera Rishta Purana" is from the Balaji Telefilms stable.
"This is my first experience with Balaji Telefilms and I had great time working with them. They are thorough professionals. They know their work and are always ready with the script, character and costumes," Divyanka told reporters Monday at the red carpet of SAB Ke Anokhe Awards.
Divyanka, who made her small screen debut with "Banoo Main Teri Dulhann", also performed at the award functions for Balaji Telefilms.
"I have heard a lot of rumours that Balaji group makes people work for long hours and there's lot of work pressure, but that's not completely true. An actor just needs to concentrate on his work…" she said.
"Mera Tera Rishta Purana", still waiting to get a slot on TV, is based on Manju Kapoor's novel "Custody". The actress said that they have modified the content for the sake of the audience.
"Since we have to make the show a bit of daily soap type, so that our audiences understand it and like it, certain modifications have been done. Audience will definitely like the show," Divyanka, who will be seen in a key role in the show, said.
"It is a beautiful story. It is a proper drama, there are some fun elements also," added actress.
