We Need Your Input
With the closure of our BF4 servers, this has led to a huge resource lost to bring in new members and a way to grow the ATR community. Part of the reason is that BF4 has lost its vigor due to its age. BF1 which we thought would've been the next chapter in our BF lineage failed to capture where the BF4 game and community left off. Because of this and the rise of PUBG, BF will not be the way we will be able to grow our community. What we need help with is some input from our current community members. What are some games you would like to see a bigger interest in from the community? What are the current games that you are playing? Mainly we want to see where the interest is and where we can focus on bringing in more members who enjoy the same games as what we like to play or future games that we could be looking forward to playing.The_Real_1hit |

|Episode 1
|Chapter 1: Drifted Away
Rin has reddish, almost crimson, hair that varies in length. Overall, her hair is short, but her hair in the back is very long, reaching to her knees. While she didn't have it tied in anyway very early in the series, she eventually ties her long hair into a low-hung ponytail. Her long hair naturally splits into two, tied or not. At the top of her head, she has a small batch of short hair that shapes into a cowlick. Her eyes are also crimson red.
Rin is the tallest girl in the main cast, measuring at 170cm tall (~5ft 7in). Her bust is large and her figure is leen, showing little of how robust she is as one of the island's strongest human girl. Her usual attire consists of a brown kimono-style "one-piece dress" that's sleeveless, tied at her waist by a cloth and goes only to her mid-thigh. Although purposed to do her woodwork with little in the way, this attire is also provocative and sexy. For her footwear, just like all the others, she wears brown short-boots, without socks. She wears bandages around her wrists and ankles, and uniquely has a bandage slip on her cheek, although the slip on the cheek is becoming less of a common aspect of her attire.
Early AppearanceEdit
Early on, Rin had a few differences than she does now. At the very start, instead of having her hair tied, she had it let down, accompanied with a headband. She also often wore an overcoat over her shoulders. As well as a bandage on the left side of her jaw. While these have disappeared from her everyday attire, the overcoat makes its appearance from time to time around her waist. Her headband reappears only when she is working.
Her attire is not much different than her current attire, except for the addition of black short-pants for the sake of TV censorship. These black short-pants reappear in the manga during the Kairyuusama festival (around chapters 115; volume 20).
PersonalityEditShe is somewhat of a tomboy, chivalrous in nature and is also the strongest human female on the island, which also happens to hurt her feminine pride. Still, she is glad to have a well-developed body.
Still, due to her personality that's chilvarous like a man, she was the subject of a lot of attention and romantic interest from other women before Ikuto's arrival. She found this situation so uncomfortable that she developed a tendency to bathe alone.
She loves to dress up, but she at first was embarrassed to show this side of her to anyone as she thought she was not feminine enough to look good in them. This was only until Ikuto complimented her appearance in a kimono.
Even though she is strong, she fears slimy things like worms and eels. Her fear is so strong that when threatened with an earthworm bath, she becomes extremely bossy and competent in giving harsh orders. She also is a bit clumsy here and there, which gets in harms way of her work.
As stated before, Rin is the physically strongest, or at least one of the strongest, girls on the island, easily lifting a clay urn that is as tall as she is. Her strength is so formidable that her family relies on it for all the heavy lifting when working on a woodwork project. Despite her great physical strength, she lacks any proficiency in crafting. While at first it can be mistaken as her being a bit clumsy, her incapability to do crafting and over-clutziness can bring disaster to what she is working on.
In a fight, she uses this great physical prowess as her main tool, using large items such as logs as if they are light staffs.
Although Rin is not all that smart, she's not stupid either. She is capable of making her own bits of plans, but they are not the smartest ones though.
In trade of her lack in crafting, Rin is quite skilled with domestic chores such as cooking and sewing.
10 years before the start of the story, around 5 years of age she became an apprentice in her family's craftsmanship business. As she grew up, the other girls of the island started to court her due to there being no men on the island.
New arrivalEdit
Rin first appears as one of the many girls on the island who ditched work and came to Obaba's house when they heard a castaway came to the island. She as well as the other girls were surprised to hear that the person was a man; She smashed Obaba's head down on the ground in the excitement. They were then chased out by Obaba. Later that day, she spies at Ikuto as he tried and failed to get pass the whirlpools.
The next day, she hid and used a prepared rope to trip up Monjiro to get rid of Ayane in order to get Ikuto from her. After she introduced herself to him, Yukino then came and interrupted them. When Yukino tried to forcefully take Ikuto on a date, Rin fought her for him; as they fought each other, Ikuto got away.
Ikuto TohoinEdit
Initially, Rin propositions Ikuto to be her husband to prove her heterosexuality (and so end the advances made on her by the other girls); however, she soon develops real feelings for him. She calls Ikuto "danna" ("hubby" or husband), much to Ikuto's chagrin.

The Social and Economic Structure of Tsarist Russia
The 1897 census indicated: Ruling class (tsar, court, government) 0.5%; Upper class (nobility, clergy, military) 12.0%; Commercial class (merchants, entrepreneurs, financiers) 1.5%; Working class (factory workers, small traders) 4.0%; Peasants 82.0%. Over 80% of the population were peasants, and they were mainly illiterate. The ruling elite both feared and despised them, and denied them free expression. Russia was officially divided into estates (sosloviya), but it is now thought that a rigid caste system did not exist and some mobility between the estates was possible. The aristocracy stood at the pinnacle of Russian society. In 1900 there were 79 aristocratic families owning land of about 46,000 hectares each. Such families tended to concentrate of raising livestock and forestry. They often possessed large areas of timber land in the Urals. Such families would also own urban property and securities. The aristocrats were enormously wealthy. The provincial gentry were squeezed, and were the objects of envy of the peasants. For example, during the 1905-6 revolution peasants often destroyed the products of their enterprise, such as vineyards, livestock and machinery. This provoked a reaction from the gentry from 1907 onwards, and they politically were opposed to reforms. The lower commercial classes were made up of office staff, shopworkers and artisans. They were active in the period of 1905-6 in campaigning for higher wages and better conditions. The craft industry produced a large variety of goods. However, artisans were desperately poor. Thus Russian society had many horizontal divisions as well as vertical ones based on nationality. The horizontal divisions may be linked to the strong prevalence of class antagonism that existed even during periods of domestic peace. Life for workers and peasants was permeated with violence, such as fist-fights, gang warfare and lawless behaviour. This violent mood also found expression in the form of anti-Jewish pogroms. Nonetheless, class antagonism was countered to an extent to the existence of monarchist sentiment. The tsar was still respected, particularly among peasants, as a semi-divine being. Peasants were more likely to become politically agitated in those regions where there was the highest population density. Peasants who joined the army often acted as vehicles for disseminating revolutionary ideas into villages. The population of the Russian empire rose from 74 million in 1860/64 to 164 million in 1909/13. The birth-rate remained steady but the death-rate decreased from 37 per 1000 in the 1860 to 27 in 1000 by 1914. This was due to better nutrition than to better medical care. Russians tended to marry young and have, on average, nine children half of which died young. There was strong community pressure to maintain this traditional lifestyle. Those who migrated to town, or who rose in social status, tended to have fewer children. There were changes to the structure of the typical Russian family. For example, a study of a Voronezh province in 1887-96 showed that 42% of households comprised two generations and 46% three or more, but it seems that the proportion of families with three or more generations was declining. This was a patriarchal system, but women did have a well-defined economic and social role, and were valued. Nonetheless, women were often the recipients of violent beatings from their husbands, and many young country girls were not attracted to the prospect of marriage, and preferred to work in textile mills or take up domestic service. The bulk of the lower ranks of the army and navy were conscripts. Army life was brutal – discipline severe and conditions grim. Between 1825 and 1855 1 million Russians died whilst in the army during peace. The C19th peacetime strength was 1.5m. It cost the government 45% of its annual expenditure, whilst 4% went on education. Only aristocrats could occupy the higher ranks and there was widespread corruption. Except for the Crimean war, the army's primary duty was the suppression of national risings. By the C19th the bureaucracy was corrupt and incompetent, but it had immense power over the lives of the people. It was regarded as a scandal.

Manufacturing Rebound Puts Michigan Back in the Ballgame
State surging to once again match its competitors
Manufacturing in Michigan has made a comeback. Following a decade of slumps and dips, the increase in manufacturing jobs in the state is outpacing the nation as a whole and in terms of the actual number of manufacturing jobs the state is poised to surpass Illinois.
"Michigan lost a lot of manufacturing jobs from 2000 to 2009," said James Hohman, assistant director of fiscal policy with the Mackinac Center for Public Policy. "But since then there has been a robust increase in manufacturing employment. This is true in comparison to both the United States as a whole and Illinois in particular."
Here are the trends in manufacturing jobs since January of 2000 for Michigan and Illinois, which have traditionally had very similar manufacturing job totals. The figures on the left of the chart correspond with the amount of manufacturing jobs in the two states represented in increments of 100,000.
Here is the trend line for the entire U.S., which is superimposed. The U.S. trend line corresponds with the figures on the right, which are represented in increments of 2 million.
"Michigan continues to lead the nation in new manufacturing job creation," Chuck Hadden, president and CEO of the Michigan Manufacturing Association, told Capitol Confidential. "Since 2009, Michigan has added 110,000 new manufacturing jobs. That is a number far above any other state — more than 50 percent better than even our closest manufacturing competitors.
"From May 2012 to May 2014, Michigan ranked first nationally in gross manufacturing job gains," Hadden continued. "That outpaces the next closest states by more than 13 percent. The message is clear. If you have a passion for creating something — if science, technology, engineering or math classes drew your interest in school — Michigan is the state with a job for you."
As the charts reveal, the overall number of manufacturing jobs in both the nation and the two states fell off sharply between 2000 and 2004. At a point, the the decline became more gradual for Illinois and the U.S. but remained comparatively steep for Michigan.
Another sharp fall off took place in 2008, preceding the economic turmoil that became apparent that autumn. This decline was again more pronounced in Michigan than in Illinois and the nation as a whole, as manufacturing jobs in Michigan fell well below the 500,000 mark. Since that time, however, the growth in the number of manufacturing jobs in Michigan has increased steadily, outperforming the trends for Illinois and the entire U.S.
"Manufacturing jobs are down nationally, compared to the level in 2000," Hohman said. "Overall, this is not a segment of the economy where growth has been expected. But the total manufacturing production in Michigan, in inflation-adjusted dollars, has returned to the state's 2007 level, which means that there has been a full recovery in manufacturing production. Michigan had a deep valley and a strong recovery in comparison to other states.
"Few would have predicted that we'd bounce back, but we have," Hohman added. "If trends continue, Michigan will again surpass Illinois in manufacturing jobs this month."
Hadden pointed out that the growth in manufacturing has a positive ripple effect on the state's entire economy.
"Michigan employs more than 565,000 men and women directly in manufacturing," he said. "This does not even take into account the hundreds of thousands, millions even, of jobs that are available in communities because they have a manufacturer nearby. The incredible thing about manufacturing in Michigan is that it is an industry that shares its successes with every community and every person in the state."

Authorities in California take drug-related offenses very seriously and will often investigate in great depth if any form of illegal drug use is suspected. Of course, this can mean that innocent people occasionally come under suspicion, often simply through being in the wrong place at the wrong time. For example, if you are in a vehicle when it is stopped and drugs are found within, you may be suspected of having some connection with the illegal substances.
Owning drug paraphernalia can lead to criminal charges
Be aware of the risks of working with money
Working in a position of financial responsibility in California can be a daunting task. Any diligent worker will be keen to see that everything is in order. However, as the demands of your job increase it can become harder to keep track of everything. Yet if you make a single mistake, someone might assume that it was a deliberate attempt to deceive and defraud the system.
Know the different types of theft
If you end up in the wrong place at the wrong time, it is all too easy to become implicated in a crime you did not commit. This is often the case with theft charges. If something goes missing and you were seen in its vicinity shortly beforehand, you could come under suspicion. Similarly, stolen items may even be planted on you, in your home or even in your vehicle.
Is there capital punishment for federal crimes?
Being charged with a federal crime is a serious matter and this is no different in California. Penalties can be extremely harsh for some federal offenses and conviction can have life-changing consequences. In fact, certain federal crimes still carry the death penalty, although the statutes in question are not always upheld.
Californian accused of federal drug crime
Drug laws vary from state to state as do the penalties for possessing and trafficking controlled substances. However, whether you are in California or elsewhere in the United States, the penalties for drug crimes are often severe. Convictions can result in hefty fines and even prison sentences, not to mention the possible revocation of professional licenses.

My girlfriend often watches Vlogs on Youtube, and once she was watching one the videos of CutiePieMarzia. She did a make up video about her top 5 make-up products. One of them was this Elizabeth Arden make up brush. My girlfriend knows how much I always wanted to buy a great make-up brush, so she thought she would surprise me and buy me this one! :)
It costs £20.00 so its not too cheap, but its not super expensive. Definitely worth it's prize! The brush comes with mini folding face brush, you can unfold and and fit into your compact.
I love that the brush has angled contour, it applies the powder/bronzer perfectly and even. You will look flawless!
I'm very happy with that brush, it's perfect!

Writers' group
2nd and 4th Friday of every month, 6:30pm
The Smyth Public Library hosts a gathering of writers once or twice a month where we work together on timed writing exercises using prompts and other sources of inspiration. The writing periods will be followed by sharing some of the work with each other. The goal of the group is to loosen up and get the pen moving on paper. We don't seek to have a finished work by the end of the session and you don't need to arrive with a finished piece of writing to share. The writer's group is a place to meet with other writers and to flex your writing muscles.
Please come ready with a writing medium of your choice: paper and pen/pencil, computer, tablet, etc.
Tip from the front desk
In honor of November's:
Family Literacy Day on the 1st,
Book Lovers Day on the 5th,
Young Readers Day on the 8th and
National Day of Listening on the 25th try this:
You might have to push through a few eye rolls for this, but why not take a virtual family vacation 'this holiday season' by reading a book together out loud? Pile everyone on the 'couch' and dig into something by young adult authors like Carl Hiaasen, Scott O'Dell or 'J.K. Rowling'. Escape into Rick Riordan's mythology-inspired adventures, or start a chat about empathy with Wonder – there's a reason these are still huge best-sellers." Traveling to relatives or friends for the holidays? Try an audiobook and let the miles float away on a story.

The group would present ideas to the Director and would be responsible for creating, initiating, promoting and implementing the programs.
Our goal is to have our youth participate in a variety of workshops, classes and events, for example: Lego night, Teen Crafts, the Middle and High School Book Club, Oration Day/Youth Poetry Slam and/or Teen Yoga. In addition, they could arrange for visiting artist programs in collaboration with our local schools and other institutions.

Last month's question and answer:
Q. What was Arthur Conan Doyle's occupation before writing? No Wikipedia and "doctor" is not good enough.
A. Ophthamologist
No winner.
This Month's Trivia Question:
The main elements of what beloved series came from the author's boarding school experience of lining up in two perfectly straight lines to go anywhere and from his meeting someone who had their appendix removed?
From the New and Recent Shelves~
We (being I) are always looking for contributors to this reviews section. The editor has a limited range of taste, so any reviews would be more than welcomed. Just e-mail them in reply to this, or to firstname.lastname@example.com
I, Rick Mitchell, admit to a rather limited taste in reading materials. I generally eschew science fiction, fantasy and what are euphemistically referred to "chic books". I realize this is a deficiency in not only me, but the "From the New and Recent Shelves" section of "The Smythie".
I am therefore resorting to pilfering reviews from Amazon.com for a book (at least) a month to widen the breadth of this service. I'd much rather have a contributing reviewer (or twelve). If you've read a book you've loved, please shoot me a review so we can enjoy a more personal perspective.
Thus the pilfered…
Known for her emotional and compelling stories of love and family comes a romantic and suspenseful novel from #1 New York Times Bestselling Author Barbara Freethy
In SILENT FALL, Dylan Sanders is attending a wedding in the mountains when his trip takes a terrible turn. A former lover appears out of nowhere, demands a private conversation, and lures him into the woods, then leaves him there, drugged and disoriented. The next morning, the woman has disappeared, and Dylan is accused of her murder.
Catherine Hilliard, a beautiful psychic haunted by her own dark past, is reluctant to offer up her cryptic visions to help skeptical Dylan figure out what's going on, but she can't leave her best friend's brother-in-law on his own … or deny the powerful, inexplicable connection between them.
It soon becomes clear that a wily and ruthless mastermind has targeted both of them, with a motive that's very personal. Soon their race to expose the truth is no longer about staying out of jail but about staying alive …
Fans of Nora Roberts, Karen Robards, Mary Higgins Clark and Tess Gerritsen will enjoy this romantic thriller from award-winning author Barbara Freethy
* Silent Fall is the second book in the Sanders Brothers Duo (Silent Run is the first book). The heroes are brothers and the books are loosely connected but can also be read on their own.
Fiction…two old mystery friends
Twelve Dogs of Christmas is another winner. If you've read the Andy Carpenter dog series you know how good the books are and this one meets all expectations. What else needs to be said?
If you are a newbie, relax, sit back and enjoy the ride. This stands alone just fine, but you'll want to go back and read the rest.
Once again, Andy gets sucked into defending another person with dog ties. This time an elderly woman who takes in puppies. This is a humorous book (as usual), but for the uninitiated it is not a "cozy" mystery as much as one that stars a self-effacing warm defense lawyer with a great team of unlikely investigators and allies.
"Pups", the elderly woman with the big heart is accused of murder. To say much more would be to spoil. Andy comes to her rescue. The book is told in the first person with a few short chapters interspersed by the alleged bad guy.
This is just a darn fun, amusing, well-written good mystery with plenty of twists and turns and superior characters.
The Innocents is not your typical mystery because it is so character driven. Ultimately, a murder mystery, it takes quite some time before the murder actually occurs. That means many pages of building the mystery while enjoying the lives of these complex characters. Even if you have not read the prior books, you will appreciate the depth and complexity of them all. Mr. Atkins gives enough background to understand them without boring those of us who do not miss an entry in the series.
In this novel, there is a new proprietor of the county's strip joint and she has upgraded it with the bouncing help of the local motorcycle gang. Quinn has returned from Afghanistan and gets enlisted to re-up temporarily as a deputy to the aggressive Lilly. A young girl has journals and a phone relating to her brother's supposed suicide that she is trying to get anyone to read any pay attention to the contents. She gets a job at the strip club and all heck breaks lose. There are bad guys in abundance and no one is sure who is allied with whom. It is really a delicious mix of personalities.
"All heck" would not be used in this book. A caution. The language is foul. It is perfectly appropriate, but if you are offended by four letter words, this book has a never ending stream. Some recent study has said that cussing is a sign of intelligence. It would seem that Mr. Atkins bears that out. This is an intelligent, excellent book. I can't wait for the next one.
More (excellent) fiction…
A Winter Sky is the type of book that makes you shake your head and ask: why isn't this atop the best seller list?
The story is dark, yet never drops into an abyss of depression. A difficult task that Mr. Stewart accomplishes with aplomb. A Polish resistance fighter suffers injuries that result in amnesia in the very last stages of WWII in Poland. The Germans occupiers are fleeing as the Russians are coming in to start their own brutal occupation. The fighter wants to find home even though he does not know where it is. All he has is part of a photo. As he tries to stumble his way to wherever home is, a driven SS colonel still wants to fight his personal war against the resistance.
The author creates a unique blend of a dark end of war story with something of a captivating tense thriller. There is appropriate violence that one would expect of the times. There is an element of warmth that is unexpected. There is the thriller element that keeps the reader glued to the book.
Highly, highly recommended.
Non-fiction …
It is great to see a book of this quality make the best seller list. I would rank it among the very best of histories.
This is the political history of the Korean War, aka "police action", that saw Truman pitted against MacArthur. Mr. Brands gives an extensive detailed account of the war and the protaganists' relationship without ever, and I mean ever, becoming tedious. That is a true artist. There are too many facts, quotes and references to say "it reads like a novel", but I hated to put it down and was sad it ended. Perhaps the only time anyone was sad a war ended.
The history is intriguing and, like the war itself, the forgotten history. All the great characters of the 40s-50s are there: Truman, MacArthur, Marshall, Acheson and more. I had little knowledge of the war and its global implications. This book brought it all home in a highly readable fashion.
Ever want to be one of those know-it-all reviewers?
Got a book to recommend?
Want to write a blurb?
Have a child with a favorite book who would like to contribute to the Smythie?
We welcome contributors (less for us to write!), especially children and teens to review and recommend favorite books. Just drop Heidi Deacon an e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.com or "reply" to this and we'll include it here. It need not be a new book – it can be a golden oldie, a classic, a trashy beach book or whatever you have enjoyed.
I hope you have enjoyed this edition. Comments, suggestions and, of course, reviews are always welcomed.

In the summer of 2017, Preston Clark came to his mom and made a simple request to give all of his money to the homeless. Each summer Preston and his family take a vacation that he and his brothers save up their money to take and spend. Preston told his mom that he didn't want to spend his money on his vacation that year but instead, donate all of his money to the homeless. Preston's mom, Tara, thought about this selfless request and decided to honor her sons wish but do a little more. Tara set up a special go fund me page called "Vision to Give" and told her sons story on flyers and youtube. Preston has been collecting money for almost 8 months and on Saturday, March 3rd Preston's "Vision to Give" became a reality as he and his family delivered a $501.00 check to Safe Haven, a local homeless shelter in Walterboro. Preston's step brother, William O'Bryant, was a big support for Preston, along with his mother who helped Preston set up donation jars at Enterprise Bank.
On Saturday, when Preston, his mother, and step brother delivered the money he had collected to Safe Haven, they were able to tour the shelter and learn about all the things that his money would be used towards. Ms. Thomas, from Safe Haven, was able to show Preston and his family all the different types of individuals who grace their doors, including children, and how much donations truly mean to a shelter like Safe Haven. "Thank you to all who helped Preston with his donation to the community," Preston's mom, Tara, said, "This is proof there are still wonderful people out there willing to help make a difference."

Finally got around to playing some more Soul Reaver today and played it up to the first boss, Melchiah. Quite the easy boss, just drop a couple doors on him and he's dead.
It's weird how different than the memories of it from my childhood are. The controls are pretty bad, though that's probably be cause I'm playing with a key board, the camera is a nightmare, and the combat is atrocious. Still, the voice acting and scenery hold up well, painting the grim land of Nosgoth and really bringing the characters to life.

Looks old schoolReplyDelete
Gave up on this a little time ago. The controls and the camera ruin the gameReplyDelete
Damn, Soul Reaver is a blast from the past.ReplyDelete
Bought this game for my PS1 collection a few years back but never got around to beating it. I'll have to try again sometime!ReplyDelete
I've heard the dreamcast soul reaver is pretty sweet. Legacy of Kain.ReplyDeleteReplies
Yup. The Dreamcast version probably would have played a bit better than the PS1 version. Hopefully GoG gets the other games in the series up as they really were great games. Was really two different series, the Blood Omen and Soul Reaver games, with intersecting storylines that meet up for the final game. Lots of time travel, rewrites of history, and never knowing for sure who the true villain is.Delete

After years of friendship, NERVO and Quintino finally got the chance to officially collaborate together on a track. Their new song, "Lost In You", recently premiered on Spinnin' Records. The emotional piece features powerful and catchy vocals from NERVO, singing to a story of heartbreak familiar to many. The producers sat down with the writers over at 1001tracklists to explain some of the magic behind making this record. Read an excerpt of the interview below.
Quintino then delves a bit deeper into what it is like to work with the NERVO girl's vocals.
"Quinten, what was it like working NERVO's vocals? What do you like most about their voices?"
Check out the full interview here! NERVO will be joining us this coming Sunday, April 30th at the MĀYĀ Day & Nightclub for one of our legendary Soundwave pool parties. Be sure to grab your tickets before they are gone!

Dwight Howard Frustrated by Lack of Dunks
After making only one of six shots in Game 1, he made five of 10 in Game 2. For the Finals, he is averaging 14.5 points a game and shooting 37.5%, well below his numbers of 21.7 points and 62.2% shooting in the playoffs before the Finals.
Howard has one dunk so far in the Finals, off a pass from Lewis with 5:32 left in the third quarter of Game 2.
Pau Gasol played solid one-on-one defense on Howard in Game 2, often forcing him toward the baseline and into Lakers double teams featuring different blends of players.
"They're mixing it up on me," Howard said. "They're doing some crazy things and it's been frustrating me a bit. . . . I've just got to really do my homework and try to find ways to beat it."

Melbourne's early Jewish migrants may not have had iPads to pass their life stories down to their children and grandchildren, but that is just one of the modern technologies being used to recount the rich and complex social history of the city's Yiddish-speaking community in Mameloshn – How Yiddish made a Home in Melbourne to be held at the Jewish Museum of Australia.
Exhibition curator Anna Epstein worked closely with a Yiddish advisory committee – that has in its ranks Melbourne writer Arnold Zable, historian and academic Andrew Markus and Klezmer musician Freydi Mrocki – to recount and recreate the journeys and lives of Eastern European Jews who came to Melbourne prior to and following World War Two.
"Early Jewish immigrants came to Melbourne bringing with them and replicating the European culture they were used to before the war," Epstein says. "This ranged from food to the arts. In the 1950s, the Yiddish community also set up secular institutions where they made European theatre, art, music and literature [available] to the broader public."
The exhibition is intended to be a sensory experience, with exhibition designer Simon Castricum "lifting past imagery into a modern scene". Soundscapes will take visitors back to the days of the early immigrants and iPads will enable visitors to engage and interact with the Yiddish language through translated literature. Asked how the idea for the exhibition came about, Epstein explained that the current generation's fascination and curiosity for their grandparent's lives raised the interest to "explore parts of history and culture we know we've lost but we're interested to rediscover".
Mameloshn will exhibit a diverse range of artefacts from the Jewish Museum's collection, most of which have never been shown in public before. It will include photographs, theatre posters, Yiddish literature, music and films, providing an insight into how Melbourne's culture has evolved into what it is today – through a Yiddish lens.
Mameloshn opens this Sunday (3 April) at the Jewish Museum of Australia with a Curator Tour and live broadcast by SBS. The exhibition runs until March 2012 at the Jewish Museum.

Such weather has allowed some of our Butterflies to have been able to put on a good show, in particular, the very beautiful Marbled White. Just on the edge of the village in flower-rich hay fields backing onto Orlestone forest, we've found a favored field for a large number of Marbled Whites to sun-bath the afternoon and then the evenings away.
Reference guides show the female Marbled White as having a cream tinge to to the underwing, and thats dificult to see in these images as the light was warm and low in the sky at the time, however the bottom butterfly does look more strikingly marked so we can assume this is the male.

Businesses these days are to a great extent dependent on digital marketing to generate ROI. They are, therefore, increasingly dependent on skilled digital marketing companies to handle their campaigns. As business owners often fail to devote the required amount of time to handle their campaigns, they often outsource the same to digital marketing firms. Therefore, there is a great demand for digital marketing professionals. Here, we shall discuss some of the major benefits of enrolling into a digital marketing program:-
High Demand for Digital Marketing Professionals
According to industry-based experts, around 1, 50,000 jobs are likely to be created in the digital marketing industry by 2020. However, there is still a dearth of skilled digital marketing professionals. This provides youngsters undergoing digital marketing course with an upper hand over others. By undergoing such a course, you can join an industry where demand is greater than supply.
There are many industries in which there are periods of job scarcity. That's not the case with digital marketing. Therefore, it is wise to gain a new set of skills which will provide a perfect stepping stone to your career. You will have a higher job security and your career will progress on the right track.
The most important thing which you should keep in mind is the fact that companies are going to valuable your skills. As per a report of Mondo, the demand for digital marketing professionals is going to rise by 38% in 2017. Therefore, it is the ideal time for you to join the industry.
Earn More as Compared to Your Peers
As we have discussed earlier, there is a greater demand than supply of skilled professionals in digital marketing. From the economic perspective, therefore, the remuneration of such professionals is therefore quite high. When you are joining an industry in which there is short of skills, you can negotiate your salary in favourable terms.
In 2014, a survey conducted by Prosperity confirmed that salaries in digital marketing rose faster as compared to the last five years. And this surge in salaries is not just at the managerial level. There has been a considerable increase in salary at entry level PPC positions also.
The 2014 Marketing Survey conducted by The Marketing Institute and Alternatives also showed findings which affirm this view. 50% of the respondents got a salary hike that year, two-third of them received bonuses and 61% confirmed that their companies are hiring once more.
Use Your Knowledge to Boost New Startups in IT Sector
New startups in the IT industry are dependent on professionals who can devise a workable digital marketing strategy for them. Therefore, if you undergo such a course, your skills will be in high demand for entrepreneurs who are starting their own IT firms. Learning these new skill sets will provide a big boost to your confidence. By acquiring a certificate, you can increase your chances of gaining employment with a leading organization.

Blue Bunny Big Vanilla Ice Cream Sandwich (6 oz. sandwich, $1.09 at Terrible's Chevron convenience stores)
Winter is here, and what better way to revel in the cold than with ice cream? Yup. Nothing like ice cream on a cold day to make you forget those 100-degree moments in July. But you're on a budget, you only want a little bit, and the cheapest thing at premium ice-cream boutiques costs three bucks.
The folks at Blue Bunny have come up with a reasonable substitute—their Big Vanilla ice cream sandwich. Granted, the vanilla and chocolate tastes are artificially induced; however, the chocolate-flavored wafers bookend a rich and creamy vanilla-flavored ice cream that could hold you over until the economy improves. It's a good, easily found deal.

Complete the following steps to migrate your Google Sheets Legacy connection in the (old) V2 console to a Google Sheets connection in the (current) V3 console. You migrate so that you can use the most current Google Sheets API to output data through an OAuth-based connection.
- Create a new Google Sheet export connector in the V3 (current) console
- Save the existing Legacy connection settings.
- Modify the existing Query (to replace the Legacy connection) in V3 console
Create a Google Sheets export connector in the V3 (current) console
Go to Treasure Data Connections and search and select Google Sheets. (In the old V2 console click Try New Version then go to Connections.
Click on Click here to connect to a new account. You are redirected to Google to login if you haven't logged in yet, or the consent page to grant access to Treasure Data.
Click Allow to enable Treasure Data to access your Google Account to view and manage your spreadsheets in Google Drive.
After you grant access to Treasure Data you are redirected back to Treasure Data Console.
Choose the Google Sheets connector again, then choose OAuth Connection as in the preceding step. You will see an OAuth connection with your account name in the dropdown list. Choose the account you want to use and then proceed to create the connection.
Complete the fields. Click Continue.
Specify connection name and click Done.
Save the settings of the Legacy export connector
Go to Treasure Data console. Go to Query Editor. Open the Query that uses "google_spreadsheet" for its connection.
Click the google sheet connector. (The default name for the data connector is
google_spreadsheet if the connection was created in the v2 console.)
Copy and save the details of the existing connection to use later in step 3:
Row Batch size.
Note: In V2, you can use either Spreadsheet or Key or could use both. After you migrate to V3, you must choose to use Spreadsheet or Key. You cannot use both.
Click Delete to remove the Legacy connector.
Modify the existing Query (to replace the Legacy connection) in V3 console
In the query, click Output results. Next, you are going to set up the Google Sheets connector.
Find and select the Google Sheet export connector that you created in step 1. Click Create New Connection.
In "Configuration" pane, specify the fields saved in step 2:
Spreadsheet Name or
Spreadsheet Key, and
Worksheet Title,
Upload Mode,
Batch rows to upload.
Click Done.
Check Output results to... to verify that you are using the created output connection. Click Save.
|It is strongly recommended to create a test spreadsheet and use it for the first data export to verify that exported data looks as expected and the new export does not corrupt existing data. In your test case, choose an alternate "Spreadsheet Name" or "Spreadsheet Key" for your test spreadsheet.
Updating Existing Workflows
If you have a workflow that used the Google Sheets connector, you must update the result settings to account for the new connector. The new Google sheets connector uses new field names for the result settings. For example:
- key is changed to spreadsheet_id
- worksheet is changed to spreadsheet_title
An example of new workflow result output settingsis as follows:
td>: queries/sample.sql
database: sample_datasets
result_connection: your_connections_name
spreadsheet_id: destination_spreadsheet_key
spreadsheet_title: destination_spreadsheet_name
sheet_title: destination_worksheet_name
mode: append
An example of old workflow result output settings is as follows.
td>: queries/sample.sql
database: sample_datasets
result_connection: your_connections_name
key: destination_spreadsheet_key
worksheet: destination_worksheet_name

There are tactics and characteristics of the American left that conservatives would be well advised to emulate.

Ravens report card versus the Lions: The offense
The Baltimore Ravens beat the Detroit Lions 18 to 16 in a game in which the Ravens needed to stay in the playoff picture. Now the Ravens control their own destiny. The Ravens did not score a touchdown but did move the ball well in a hostile environment and against a really good defense.
Quarterback: Joe Flacco is one tough guy, even after having his knee hit he was able to complete big throws when he Ravens needed him to. Flacco completed 20 out of 38 of his passes for 222 yards. Flacco also ran for 13 yards and did not turn the ball over. Grade B+
Running backs: Ray Rice is slowly improving health wise and it is showing on the field. Rice averaged 4.7 yards per carry, it would have been nice to see him have more than one reception. Bernard Pierce had 21 yards rushing on seven carries. Grade B

Mahindra scorpio has been in the market for more than a decade now and mahindra have been putting subtle effects to keep it in the market with timely updates and it's sales are also decent which is due to the fact that it has robust built quality , low maintenance and trust on mahindra but due to raising price it is now direct rival to the Tata Hexa which is fresh in the market and mainly an evolved version of Tata aria . TATA has been working on making its car better in every aspect and mainly in value for money . Read on to find out who wins the battle of the two ….
Mahindra scorpio received a mild facelift in the starting of 2018 , the boxy shape on the outside is instantly recognisable by the masses due to its sheer popularity . The Hexa on the other hand has very into your appeal and is much more wider than the scorpio in terms of size , the diamond cut alloy wheels add to the charm of the car whereas the scorpio gets non machined alloys which are becoming outdated now . Here the Hexa wins because of the fact that it looks much mote butch and well proportioned with that into your face appeal .
Hexa here gets an all black interior with faux leather and dual stitching which make it look quite premium as compared to the scorpio as it gets plastic panels which look quite cheap as the fit and finish is not upto the mark though it is well contained but stills lacks premium feel which you expect from a 17 lakh car .
The hexa offers best in class music system by harmann kardon with 12 speakers which can shame cars of upper segment too , you also get lots of cup holders and other storage areas which are practically not usable in scorpio though we have them . The last row of hexa can occupy well built adults of nearly 5 feet 10 inches long fro shorter trips whereas in scorpio its best left for kids .
The under thigh support in scorpio is very less and it feels like you are sitting on a planck whereas the hexa has comfortable sitting position .
Push the Scorpio's and it's the refinement that speaks out. The S11 engine sounds more like the XUV500 now and it is more refined than before. The responsiveness of the engine has also improved, despite a bigger turbo. There's almost no wait before the power kicks in and you get a good punch from 1,500rpm, all the way up to 4,500rpm; and from 0-100kph it takes just 10.8sec – massively fast for an SUV this size. It's even faster than the new Swift!
Engaging the gears on the new six-speed gearbox requires less effort as the gates are better defined. However, putting the reverse takes getting used to. The newly added sixth gear is welcome, as it enhances the Scorpio's cruising ability . What makes the Mahindra relaxing to drive is the strong bottom-end, which is a huge plus when it comes to driving it in cumbersome city traffic. The Scorpio is also much faster through the gears – it attains a 20-80kph time of just 9.07sec in third gear making it faster than the Hexa. Complimenting this further is the light clutch and steering that make this two-and-something-tonne-SUV rather light on its feet. That being said, the Scorpio still isn't confidence-inspiring in corners around them. At high speeds, it feels sloppy and the ride isn't flat either. At city speeds, though, it does ride well and tackles bad roads quite easily. Unfortunately, the brakes lack progressive feel. Though Mahindra has updated the brakes by increasing the brake booster size to make the pedal pressure better, under hard braking, the Scorpio feels unsettled
The Tata Hexa is powered by the 2.2-litre VARICOR engine that makes 156hp and 400Nm of torque. The engine is fairly silent and vibrations are well-contained. Get going though, and the sluggish nature of the engine is evident as the turbo takes time to spool up. The Hexa has drive modes (Auto, Comfort, Dynamic and Rough Road) which alter the performance, and it is best driven in Dynamic mode where 0-100kph is achieved in 14.21sec. The six-speed manual transmission is cumbersome to operate and also lacks a safety lock for the reverse gear. The clutch is snappy, too. As a result, shifting gears is sometimes jerky. Pair that to its heavy nature, and the Hexa is quite difficult to drive in stop/go traffic. On the plus side, the ride is exceptional. Even though the Hexa gets 19-inch alloy wheels, broken roads and potholes are flattened easily and only the really sharp bumps tend to register as distant thuds in the cabin. Braking, too, is much better when compared to the Scorpio. The Hexa gets disc brakes on the rear wheels as well, and they are nice and progressive. Coming to the handling, this heavy seven-seater is rather composed around the bends and has body roll that doesn't cause any alarm. The grip levels are another aspect that impress while cornering. However, at high speeds, the heavy hydraulic steering weighs up even more.
Though there is no direct comparison of these two cars but due to almost similar price tag these are being compared and here the hexa comes out as better value for money car in every aspect
