The utility will implement a new streamlined approach to field data collection in order to meet current and future inspection needs
LINCOLN, Neb., June 9, 2014 — (PRNewswire) — Schneider Electric, the global specialist in energy management, announced today that it has been selected by Lincoln Electric System (LES) to implement the task-based, map assisted mobile solution, Orbit, to accurately capture, manage and unify all field data from transmission poles, while improving the efficiency of infrastructure upgrades and repairs.
LES needs to capture and manage data from various types of field inspections. Orbit solves this problem by providing the seamless integration of field data capture with the enterprise's asset record in the GIS. Field workers can easily identify, inspect, and document assets while in the field and communicate the completion of work back to the office. This integration will support LES in its desire for improved knowledge of its infrastructure, more efficient operations, and ultimately a higher level of customer satisfaction. Orbit keeps LES's data secure by integrating with the utility's existing corporate security model so that users are required to sign on with their corporate login credentials in order to access the solution.
"Orbit offered the most economical way for us to consistently handle additional field work processes without a lengthy or costly implementation," said David Miller, Manager of Geospatial Technologies for LES.
With easy-to-use mobile applications for both Windows and iOS devices, Orbit provides utility workers with an experience that is flexible, intuitive, and similar in look and functionality to devices used in personal lives.
Orbit's open-ended flexibility will further benefit LES as priorities and data capture requirements evolve – a common challenge for utilities. With Orbit's focus on configurability, LES can shape the mobile application to quickly and inexpensively accommodate any changes without needing costly software upgrades. Powered by the Microsoft Azure platform, Orbit provides real-time capabilities to the solution, allowing updates and data to be distributed throughout the entire workforce immediately. Enhancements to the Orbit mobile applications are automatically made available to field workers, freeing up resources from utilities' IT departments. These innovations make the solution easy to maintain over time while lowering Orbit's total cost of ownership compared with other solutions.
According to John Leiferman, Schneider Electric senior vice president of Cloud Services, "Orbit represents a new wave of data capture capabilities in the field. We are proud to offer secure solutions that help utilities operate efficiently and provide the best service to their customers."
"With Orbit, Schneider Electric is providing LES with easy integration of field inspection data and assets, eliminating the delay and cost of data conversion," said Jon Arnold, Managing Director, Worldwide Utilities Industry at Microsoft. "Since Orbit utilizes the Microsoft Azure cloud platform, data-sharing and integration will be much easier and more cost-effective for LES."
LES will begin capturing field data in a matter of days since Orbit is specifically designed to get utilities up-and-running quickly. As part of the Orbit Jumpstart program, a Schneider Electric representative will perform on-site delivery and configure the solution specifically for project goals of LES.

Going through the episodes, I still couldn't find where QB isn't speaking the truth in this series.
Nothing that comes out of QB mouth is false.
His words can be regarded as truth,
and can be used as a basis in later discussion / decision making.
However, taking only the truth that is provided by QB at that moment to discuss or make decisions will almost always leads to an irrelevant conclusion / bad decision, because there are still some more truths that he hasn't revealed yet. (e.g. Making contract for a wish without knowing that Magical Girls will turn into witches.)

I believe that Kyubey has been doing this for years. THat the first time he tried to contract a girl, he told him all the reasons for doing it and they either laughed in his face or ran away in terror. I believe that after many failures, he changed his tactics, learning what to say and what not to say. I think the current system, like many systems, is a product of trial and error on his and his people's part to get the sentient cattle known as humans to act a certain way.

Here is a wierd crazy theory I just had.
I think that Kyubey learned how to lie by omission from interacting with humans.
If Kyubey is part of a hive mind race, then there is no reason for him to have lies. As a logical race, they seem to go straight to the point. Dealing with an emotional race like the humans, however, made them learn how to omit things. They know that certain facts will upset the emotional meat bags that we are so why not leave it out?

wow suddenly it turned sci fi ,unexpected it is. ALIENS!!!
so it's matrix style turn humans into batteries to bypass entropy, don't know yet what to make of that. and QB really is farming witches , and seems like he and his ilk were the ones who started it too. and it's official he never cared about fighting witches to protect humans, he couldn't care less. literally. all he wants is his energy. and it's inevitable that MG will turn into witches one way or another, that how QB & ilk made the system. to gather greater energy.
correct me if i'm wrong but i haven't really seen anyone predicting aliens here. makes sense tho that to a primitive civilization ( as we are to the aliens) any higher science will seem like magic.
why just girls. mmm no answer for that one yet , tho i'll go with the reasoning that adults just wont take no crap from QB so he only goes for young gullible targets. think thou the Aliens are going about it the wrong way. here they find a completely green source of energy and they go about antagonizing the goose that lays the golden egg. might have been better for them to find some way to cooperate.who knows Love might just be a more powerful source of energy than grief.
and walpurgis is a witch a pretty powerful one, i guess thats the one from the ep1 dream.No reveals yet about homura...except confirmed definitely time stop power.
so sad for kyoko, just as she was getting better, friendlier, mami all over again...
at least it was great final attack, using all her magic, she looked so cute with her hair down , especiall when she was kissing the gem and releasing it.. ... so now were full circle back to ep.1 dream with only homura left as MG,walpurgis coming up....and "just as planned" for QB. damn that weasel.
miss the ending song, any reason it wasn't shown?
some initial thoughts before i read the thread. OMG already 242 replies wahh

I watched the episode again and I don't know why QB would be lying. Of course the entropy theory might seem weak, but we have miracles and magic happening all over the place so... I don't think it's a competition of what's believable or not. The moment they said we have souls, I was ready for practically anything.
At this point I'm even ready for a Clannad ending.

Seriously, this boggles my mind. I should have been prepared for it, but turns out I'm not.
People have been taking what QB said at face value time and time and time again. They've been totally fooled 3-4 times by now. Still, they maintain "oooh, but he's never been found lying" and thus continue to take his garbage at face value ... and now, he's been telling a hair-raising story about aliens, entropy and whatnot. AND PEOPLE ARE STILL GOBBLING IT UP LIKE MANNA FROM HEAVEN! Because this confirmed treacherous murdering rat DOES NOT LIE!
I bet that if Urobuchi was reading these forums, he'd have a ball with you. "How far can I push this bull until they realize they're played for a sucker?"
Well then - fine. He's an alien and tries to save the universe's entropy "problems" ^_^ ... because he says so, and he doesn't lie.

Dude, i don't give a **** if he's Dr Manhattan or what. The fact that he dismisses the lives of those girls is enough to make me want to burn him on a stick. It's not like I will say he's the good guy now that he claim to be saving the universe. Harvesting the lives of the innocent is still a hateful action.

Well, presuming that every last word that Kyubey uttered in this episode is the truth, at least as he sees it...
This story is now basically about a highly advanced alien race, lacking emotions, who are turning human teenage girls into sentient cattle (good term for whoever coined it first) in order to stave off or entirely eliminate something that won't be a pressing issue for a very, very, very, very long time (universal entropy). Kyubey himself, it should be noted, pretty much argued that we humans will be intergalactic explorers by the time universal entropy is a pressing issue. So, at a absolute bare minimum, we're talking several hundreds of years here.
To achieve their goals, Kyubey and his people play on human hopes and dreams, and coldly manipulate humans into taking actions that will bring them to a grizzly and tragic end (i.e. becoming a witch).
Human governments could legitimately consider the actions of Kyubey and his race as being an act of war.
Madoka is right. Kyubey is "the enemy". He has made himself "the enemy" by essentially looting and pillaging humanity itself. Sayaka didn't sign up to be forcefed into the dilithium chamber of some alien contraption designed to stave off entropy. She signed up to fight witches and help Kamijo. She was totally and utterly deceived, and to fault her at all, really, seems misplaced to me.
There's no greek tragedy here, just victims of a carefully concocted and coordinated alien plot which treats the human race as lesser beings who's only value is to die for a highly dubious end goal. This is certainly no way to make first contact.
Well, I hope that the human resistance goes well. Do us proud, Madoka.

Been up for half a day reading the threads, and thus I come to the conclusion that it took a catlike alien to stir up a storm... It'll be nice if only Alf could crash the party and go after QB (as Melmac folk consider cats as a delicacy).

who would have expect alien? one step closer to Nanoha settings
now with Mami, Sayaka and Kyoko gone, they are still showing us the happy OP scenes...
i would say the biggest specualtion should be will Madoka become the most power MG and witch?
my prediction: the beginning scene (Madoka's dream) in eps 1 will come true, she cannot stand to lose anybody anymore and become a MG, thus Homura and the world is saved in the end

Of all the Magical Girls conditions QB revealed little by little
1. Turns into Magical Girl and gain magical ability
2. Get a wish granted
3. Fight Witches
4. Soul turned into soul gem
5. Eventually turns into witch
6. Create a large amount of energy to save the universe
If I were Sayaka and make a contract with QB, I would be unsatisfied with only #5. But if I knew #5, I would probably just act like Kyouko in the beginning -- try gathering grief seed to continue survive as long as possible. I'm fooled? so what? I got my wish that I cannot achieve even if I try for the rest of my lifetime granted. I even get to save the universe in the process.
Sayaka is better off having her wish granted, and be content with her zombie form. Live with Kamijou as a zombie isn't that bad, really. She should just accept it instead of going on rampage and eventually drag Kyouko down with her.
It's just like signing up for a telephone contract. I got my phone and ability to make calls and send mails. When I got charged for some extra fee later, I can't call the salesman evil that he didn't tell me all the detail of the contract, because it's all written on a large paper which I didn't bother reading nor asking the salesperson about it. In the end, I got my phone, and cannot cancel my contract, so I just have to continue paying the original fee and the extra fee. Without the contract, I wouldn't be able to have a phone in the first place, and that is more troublesome than paying the fee.
Sayaka is a fool, and QB is not evil from my perspective. (He's just a salesman, doing his job. duh!)
Of course, I might change my mind later if QB reveal the next #7 truth and it turns out to be worse than #5 that I couldn't accept it.

Just found it, but there is some serious holes with Kyuube's argument.
We all know if Madoka becomes a witch, it will be powerful as fuck. However, in order for QB to 'INCUBATE' that power, it has to become a 'grief seed'. Who's going to do it? Possible answers that explains this is;
1. QB 'ALREADY' has that power to convert witch into the grief seed. He is just not doing it and leave it naturally so that Mahou Shoujo can become witch through despair.
2. QB's actual intention is make Madoka witch which cannot be defeated by anything, thus destroying the entire earth OR universe, instead of saving it.
Question chains up. How strong is that Walpu-whatever-night witch, isn't that witch enough to keep the entropy right? Is universe that much unstable to force QB to recruit Madoka as fast as he can? AND Most of all, WHY HOMURA'S DESPERATELY TRYING TO STOP IT? Why Madoka becoming mahou shoujo so important if it was just all about mere emotion-battery energy source?
To sum up, there is definitely something that is bigger than what Kyuube said. There are just too much baits and holes everywhere that makes QB's words mismatching to the situation.
Sayaka is naive. Definitely not a fool, as all Sayaka's decision was forced by situation.
If QB isn't evil, the word 'PSYCHOPATH' its much more suitable for him. And as I said above, emotional battery is definitely unsatisfying answer, unless it is just Homura being OCD.

Is there a chance that Walpurgis night is actually the night that Madoka becomes a witch (and also the scene at the beginning of ep 1)? QB wants Madoka to turn into one and Walpurgis night is fast approaching.
I'm not sure about the Faust stuff that I've read in previous threads but this just came to me now.
I do hope some more information comes from the Kyouko & Sayaka stuff. I'm not convinced that it all just ends with Kyouko sacrificing herself but (it looked like) she did break her soul gem to release an immense amount of power.
As for QB. I'm now unsure what to think of him. At first I thought that he was emotionless, he only did things that had a beneficial outcome but now I don't know. I can get behind the creatures from across the Universe stuff because, well, why shouldn't I expect something like that?
Man, I'm really interested in seeing where this goes and what happens.

Crisp and clean, January is the month when we're officially supposed to start over.
After reflecting on the old, we will begin anew with the hope of renewing and rejuvenating our lives. And so, the season really calls for a drink to match the refreshed feelings we have coming off the holidays; a drink that is indulgent yet light enough to erase the heaviness of the past few weeks. Smooth, fresh and sophisticated, the Sondra Martini at the 13th Floor is the cocktail to drink as you toast to the new year.
If you haven't been to the newly reopened 13th Floor, inside the Belvedere Hotel, treat yourself. Everything about the place screams sleek and sexy; prepare to gaze at panoramic views of historic Baltimore while listening to live jazz. The lounge itself is posh and contemporary: styled to be modern but with a nod to the pre-Prohibition era elegance of the hotel itself.
Sondra Goad, owner of the Belvedere and the 13th Floor, brought on John Klaus to be beverage consultant, designing a menu that would emulate the same aesthetic, offering classic cocktails with a unique twist. So when discussing possible martinis for the menu Goad says that having the perfect pear martini was her one requirement. Why? For one, Goad just loves pears. But more than that, she wanted "a drink that wasn't overly sweet or fruity...a people-pleaser that is a clean, refreshing complement to many of our dishes," she says. Inspired, Klaus created The Sondra Martini.
Also crucial? Goad firmly believes that "to make the best drinks you have to have the best ingredients." The Sondra is made with Grey Goose La Poire pear vodka, fresh pear nectar and Mathilde, a potent all-natural French pear liqueur that boasts a 100-year-old recipe. Surprisingly, the Mathilde, not the pear nectar itself, is what really gives the drink its ripe aroma and flavor.
What sets this martini apart from other similar recipes is in the impressive garnish that tops off the cocktail. Envisioning a more complex flavor to complement the purity of the drink, Klaus pairs a pear, freshly poached in balsamic vinegar, to each drink. Think dirty fruit martini: the acid from the vinegar adds salty depth and balance to the clarity of the other ingredients.
The Sondra Martini is an adventurous take on class and elegance. So sit back and celebrate 2013 in style.
How to Make The Sondra Martini
Combine 3 parts Grey Goose La Poire vodka, 2 parts fresh pear nectar and 1 part Mathilde pear liqueur in a shaker, with ice.
Shake and strain into a chilled martini glass. Garnish with a fresh slice of balsamic poached pear and enjoy.
Where to Get The Sondra Martini

Classic country fans will find favor with this intimate show. The Louisiana native toiled as a songwriter in the 1970s and made his mark as a recording artist in the 1980s. His rock and Cajun roots defined his country sound, which also displayed a touch of blues and zydeco. He charted songs through the early 2000s with the likes of "Cowboys Don't Cry." Others who have recorded his songs include George Jones, Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, Merle Haggard, Toby Keith and Roy Orbison.

Perhaps one of the most controversial topics in EM and prehospital literature was tackled by residents Tony Mueller and Eric Ernest (with faculty leader Dr Muelleman) a few weeks ago at an evening journal club dinner hosted at Dr Larsen's house. In their parsing out of the literature, the two residents debated whether recent evidence truly suggests poorer outcomes for patients who receive advanced airways by EMS prior to hospital arrival. Many paramedics learn how to intubate unstable patients as part of their training, and are currently able to do so if a patient meets certain criteria. Much has yet to be determined as why poorer outcomes are being noticed more often in cardiac-arrested patients with EMS-placed airways, although longer time-to-ED and more frequent CPR pauses have been suggested.
The articles:
#1 Association of prehospital advanced airway management with neurologic outcome and survival in patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. JAMA. 2013 Jan 16;309(3):257-66. doi: 10.1001/jama.2012.187612.
#2 Advanced airway management does not improve outcome of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. Hanif MA et al. Acad Emerg Med. (2010)
In addition to a great discussion, residents, faculty, families, and pets alike all got to enjoy great food, drinks, swimming, smores, and a bonfire graciously hosted by the Larsen family at their farm west of Omaha. Here are a few images from the night:

Worried residents want the NSW government to test soil around a southern Sydney Orica chemical plant for mercury contamination, saying they don't trust the company's assurances the area is safe.
Concerns have been raised over whether Orica has properly investigated decades-old off-site contamination.
If the area is contaminated, thousands of residents living close to the plant could be at risk from toxic mercury, which damages nerves and is dangerous for children and pregnant women.
And despite repeated calls for the chemical company to conduct off-site testing, residents say Orica has refused.
Mother-of-two Chantal Snell says she is concerned for the health of her young family.
"We want reassurances from Orica to provide us with confirmation they're not putting us at risk," Ms Snell told reporters outside the Port Botany plant on Sunday.
Ms Snell said she had already taken some precautions, such as removing the family's vegetable patch, even though she was yet to experience any negative health issues.
"Health risks emerge over time, so whilst they might not be immediately apparent, who's to say children who are very susceptible might not suffer later on in life?" she said.
The Environment Protection Authority (EPA) says there is no reason for alarm.
"We have no evidence to suggest that the contamination is more widely spread and there is no evidence to suggest that there is any off-site environmental or health risk," EPA acting CEO Mark Gifford told Macquarie Radio.
However, Andrew Helps, who heads a mercury remediation company and is a member of the UN's global mercury partnership, says tests should be conducted on the air and soil around houses and apartments in a 1.25 km radius.
"Orica has never investigated or quantified the mercury vapour and mercury absorbed on to particles that have travelled off-site into surrounding residential properties," he told Fairfax.
Fairfax said its own investigations also showed high concentrations of mercury in sediment in a nearby estuary and at low levels along the shoreline near container facilities.
Greens MP Cate Faehrmann said if high levels of mercury contamination were found in the streets around the Port Botany plant it could be much more serious than the leak of toxic hexavalent chromium from the company's Kooragang Island plant, which drifted over a Newcastle suburb in 2011.
She said if Orica would not undertake off-site testing, then NSW Environment Minister Robyn Parker should intervene.
"What Orica needs to do as a very good corporate citizen is to test soil off-site, and go into homes and undertake independent testing," Ms Faehrmann told reporters.
Orica has told Fairfax it isn't opposed to further testing and would consider this if its stakeholders support the idea.
Last January and in September 2011 the company reported higher than permitted levels of mercury vapour emissions from Port Botany.
Orica later said in a statement all testing over the past year had been below NSW EPA action levels.
"Orica's current data confirms the former ChlorAlkali Plant at Botany presents no unacceptable health risk to local residents," the statement said.
However, the company said it was committed to cleaning up after past manufacturing and wasn't opposed to further testing for mercury in the environment.
Orica said it had acknowledged concern about the issue at a public meeting in December.
It said a community liaison committee had subsequently "discussed a proposal for independent mercury testing outside the Botany Industrial Park and agreed to seek more information from NSW Health on safe mercury levels and available mercury testing methods".

At last: Wellington, New Zealand
Maybe it was the No Jet Lag pills I tried to take every two hours for the 20 or so hours I was underway from Cleveland to reach New Zealand. Or maybe it was the sheer adrenalin excitement of finally arriving in Wellington, the beginning of a journey that's been on my bucket list almost forever.
But I hit the streets before I even unpacked and headed up the unlikely named Cuba Street just a few blocks from my downtown Wellington hotel.
I'd been sandwiched between two very portly people in a middle seat on the 14 hour Los Angeles to Auckland leg of the journey. I pressed flesh with each of them since they overlapped into my Air New Zealand seat. So I took refuge in an Ambien, a prescription sleep medication I rarely use when going to Europe. That's because flights to Europe are maybe 6 hours long and I'm still groggy when I arrive.
No problem this time. I slept like a baby until hunger pangs awakened me at 4 a.m.
I was wide eyed and alert by the time I'd reached Auckland and transferred easily to my Wellington flight without any airport confusion. I was really glad to have a window seat so I could watch the New Zealand landscapes unfold beneath me before my aircraft entered the clouds.
Soon we'd arrived in Wellington, location of the conference of the Society of American Travel Writers and my home for a few days. Cuba Street, which took its name from a ship that brought settlers here in 1840, still has many of its historic old buildings. It's mostly a pedestrian street with a distinct bohemian vibe, much like a lot of college towns I've visited, with many sidewalk cafes, funky boutiques, street musicians and bike racks.
I stopped for lunch at a cafe called Floridita, one of several spots playing on the Cuba and Florida theme. Great meal, good local beer and a check of about $18 — gratuities are included in New Zealand eateries.
Wellington was originally settled by the English and Scots — a fact reflected in its place names. But everything also has a Maori name, since the country is totally bilingual.
It's on a harbor indented into the North Island from Cook's Strait and is breezy to the max. Locals feared that our group of travel writers would fall into the Windy Wellington alliteration. You can hear the wind whistle on the video with this blog.
On a break between meetings, I zipped my raincoat, secured my hood and headed for a walk along the waterfront to shoot some of the video here. It was November — early springtime — but cold, I'd guess in the 40s with the wind and rain making it seem much worse.
There, right outside the Convention Center, was an Occupy settlement of tents and lean-tos... just like in the states. Their arguments were the same as those heard at home. Too much government, too little representation and economic issues such as unemployment and the housing bubble.
I'd traveled 8,700 miles from my home in Mentor and many things were the same.
But I'll have several stories about my visit to New Zealand and I hope you'll follow them in coming weeks. The first ones will run in the paper on Feb. 12 and will be online before that.

As I listened to the Pope's U.N. address, while driving through Manhattan with Godspy editors John Romanowsky and John Murphy, and my son Gianni, on our way to videotape among the crowds at Dag Hammarskjöld Plaza, just outside U.N. headquarters, I thought to myself—what could I possibly write about the Pope's astonishingly deep… READ MORE >

Valedictory to Pope Benedict XVI
What made me weep, as I watched television coverage of Pope Benedict's visit, was the simple act of the pope giving communion to people.

A lot of this is speculation, of course. All that is publicly known in English is what I've translated and some spoiler information left behind on MangaFox by a guy who skimmed through the story in Japanese.
So, I will indulge in a little bit of educated speculation of my own:

I'd be a little careful with your speculation, is what I meant. Unless you've read the whole story, in Japanese, then you are reading the translation that I have been working on these past two and one half years. My speculations are based on what I have translated, plus a little bit more from the publisher's teasers. They remain speculations, however, until I actually get that far in translating the books . . . or somebody else does it ahead of me. For that task there haven't been any volunteers (not that I've been asking for any).
I correct myself: You will probably all know an anime version of the story around the end of this year, and eventually the manga version will pass up my work on the light novel version, at least at the rate they are going.

Oh my God.....I just caught up again with the series.
Congrats rpapo on volume 2.
They became a couple? so fast.?...
Well it was expected... as Kouko told him, while crawling over him that she loves him.....
Wow.... unexpected but very refreshing.
Arrrgh I'm jealous of a fictional character......
Soon......real soon... I'll get myself a cute GF.
I hardly wait for it to be animated. judging by other animeations of LN's and that this might be a fall 2013 release... they will animate all 6 volumes. Even so a real light novel has 100% of the story opposed to an anime which cuts the story short.

That the anime and the LN were so much alike was because rather than doing an virtually independent "adaptation", they had the author's cooperation while they did the scripting for the anime. That doesn't always happen.

Spoilers or Speculation. You be the judge.
To the best of my knowledge, nobody knows the ending of the story but the author herself. There have been six LN volumes to date, and the sixth one does not appear to be the last one. In addition, there have been two spinoff volumes. See this page for a complete list.
A summary of the series by volume:
Exactly where NANA fits into all this, I do not yet know, but I do know that she and Banri become friends to some extent.

the LN is not finished so its quite possible that Banri has not clearly chose betwen Linda (Banri before amnesia love interest) and Kouko(Banri after amnesia love interest)
i think from what runset read in vol3 its the combination of the 2 ABnri's consciious that made him with 2 love interest
i have a question for you rpapo why Chinami did rejected Mitsuo its weird is it explained in vol3?

Of course, he never claims to have met any other ghosts, so it is still possible that you have something going on like what happened in Chobits, where Chi's sister shared her mind and memories, and quietly kept an eye on her younger sibling.
In other words, Banri's Ghost might not really be a ghost after all, but rather a semi-detached presence that really resides in a corner of Banri's mind.

I've known about this series since the end of toradora.
the first version that I read was the manga, then I realized the original version is a light novel. Thanks to rpapo for translating the novel, I've been following it ever since.
The story is so interesting (romcom is one of my favourite genre) that I can hardly wait to see what happens next. In the end, making use of my knowledge of Japanese from from watching anime/dramas and basic-level courses, I decided to read both the manga and novel. But since it comes out only once a month, it still could not satisfy my curiosities, not to mention the novel is already in the 6th volume.
In reading the novel, my kanji knowledge is very limited, but I get the gist of it (at least according to my comprehension). So far I have read up to the second chapter of the 5th volume.
I might as well spoiler it all since it's quite far ahead of the translation.
Spoiler for my view about the 3rd, 4th, and 5th volumes:
Just now I reread the earlier chapters of the manga. It's funny how I didn't realize how different Kouko was when she's overreacting towards mitsuo and quite casual when she's with Banri. And I also finally realized that she really tried not to do something that will hurt Banri.

Good insights. I have not attempted to read ahead, other than translating some of the book-cover teasers. Though I am getting gradually better at translation, it is still quite a chore for me. So, rather than spend my time skimming the text ahead, I've kept my nose to the grindstone and continued transcribing and translating . . . one page at a time. Sooner or later it will get easy enough to read casually. Maybe before I die...
I have only heard from two people (counting you) now who claim to have read the story in the Japanese original. The other posted a long description some time ago over at MangaFox, through about volume 4 if I remember correctly.
Also, regarding your comment about the start of V4, I am glad to see somebody who agrees with my interpretation of the book's teaser. I glanced at the start of the book, and the couple of sentences starting the story agreed with what I saw in the teaser as well. That is: the restoration of his memory was quite brief, and might even have seemed like a dream to him afterwards.

Looking at how things progressed, I think I will still stick to the Banri x Kouko pairing. Linda's action towards Banri is still just like a caring family member (she nursed him and such until Kouko arrives).
Besides, unless something unexpected happen, Banri already made a promise to Kouko. But I'not comfortable with the last 2 illustration in the 6th volume. Hopefully it turned out well. With the current reading pace, I would finish the 5th volume by next week, and I still could not find scans for the 6th volume

New London rehires another police officer who was fired
New London — For the second time in less than a month, the city has announced plans to rehire a fired police officer.
Mayor Daryl Justin Finizio on Thursday said the city will rehire Officer David McElroy — an outcome of his ongoing negotiations with the local police union to settle a backlog of pending grievances filed by the union on a host of labor-related issues.
McElroy was fired in December on the recommendation of Police Chief Margaret Ackley on grounds he had leaked an internal police document about an alleged rape and then lied about it. McElroy had denied the allegations and the union was preparing a court battle to fight for his reinstatement.
But following months of head-butting between the city and union that has led to stalled negotiations, Union President Todd Lynch said tensions have miraculously eased up as of late.
"We've obviously gone through some rough water. Both sides have made an effort to work better together and while it's early in the process, I'm pleasantly surprised we're doing just that," Lynch said. "From a union standpoint, I certainly hope it continues in this fashion. We're working together for what's best for the union, the administration and most importantly what's best for the city."
Finizio, who has also taken the helm in ongoing contract negotiations, issued a statement saying the two sides had resolved most of the pending grievances.
"Our talks today clearly indicate we are entering a new era in labor relations with the New London Police Department," Finizio said in the statement.
Finizio displayed similar optimism in an announcement less than two weeks ago about headway in police contract negotiations. The previous contract with police expired in July.
McElroy will return to city service per the terms of an agreement reached among the city, the union and McElroy, Finizio said. The Day has requested the terms of the agreement. The request had not been fulfilled by late Thursday.
Lynch said he expects McElroy to return by next week.
"I speak for our members in saying we all welcome Dave McElroy back to his job at the New London Police Department," Lynch said.
Thursday's news comes on the heels of a vote by the City Council earlier this month to halt a court appeal that had blocked the return of another fired officer, Thomas Northup.
Northup was fired March 22, 2012, after an internal investigation into an Aug. 24, 2011, shooting. Northup had shot and wounded an unarmed man who stole and crashed an ice truck. While the state Board of Mediation and Arbitration ordered Northup to be rehired, the city had filed an appeal of the ruling.
The appeal was officially withdrawn last week. Police officials say Northup's return to duty is contingent on a physical.
Northup and McElroy join Officer Josh Bergeson on the list of terminated officers hired back under the Finizio administration. In April 2013, Bergeson was rehired more than a year after his firing in January 2012. The firing followed an administrative hearing into his role in a Dec. 14, 2011, incident in which witnesses said officers assaulted and used pepper spray on an intoxicated man, 31-year-old Reuben Miller, outside the Southeastern Connecticut Council on Alcohol and Drug Dependency facility on Coit Street. Finizio, at the time, said Bergeson's firing was due to work absences and his involvement in the incident.
Bergeson's rehiring came during an agreement reached between the city and union officials following a grievance filed by the union.

"Worthy" Conference Draws Over 800 Young Ladies to CIU
By Abbey Le Roy
CIU Student Writer
A diverse group of mostly 800 teenage girls, gathered on the campus of Columbia International University for "Worthy" – a one-day conference focused on how to become the woman God intended.
The name for the Sept. 10 event came from the Bible's book of Ruth. In Ruth 3:11, Ruth is commended by Boaz for her character with the words, "all my fellow townsmen know that you are a worthy woman."
With humor and conviction, Debby Jones, wife of CIU president Dr. Bill Jones, explained that God is the One who created us with the desire to be loved. Using her book "Lady in Waiting" as a guide, Jones challenged attendees to develop a healthy self-image by cultivating a deep relationship with the Lord.
In three sessions defining a worthy relationship, a worthy love, and a worthy life, Jones illustrated the truth that God is love, and no one else is capable of loving like He does.
"When we put Him first," said Jones, "everything else – every other relationship – is handled by Him."
Dawndy Mercer Plank, a popular TV news anchor in Columbia emceed the event.
Plank, sharing the story of her painful divorce, told the audience, "Love is great when God is your first love."
"Worthy" opened the door for healthy dialogue about important issues such as biblical self-worth and God-honoring relationships.
"I've been desperate for an opportunity to talk to my daughter about this topic," said one mom after the event ended. "What Debby and Dawndy shared has my daughter asking questions that I know will give us the chance to continue the conversation we started today."
