Many of you probably know that the passengers aboard the latest Free Gaza ship, the "Spirit of Humanity," were kidnapped in international waters and sent to an Israeli jail to await deportation. During an interview from her cell, Adie Mormech gave this very salient quote:
Have you had access to a lawyer yet?
We have, and at the moment we're discussing what to do about our deportation. They've taken our personal items – laptops, cameras, phones and many other valuables, and we want to find out where these are. They obviously want to deport us as quickly as possible, but some of us are thinking about fighting the deportation. Firstly on the basis that if we get deported we won't be allowed into the occupied West Bank or Israel for another 10 years, but also, because we didn't intend to come here to Israel – we intended to go to Gaza, and went directly from international waters into Palestinian waters. There is nothing legal about what Israel has done to us grabbing us like this. We're considering fighting the deportation on the grounds that we shouldn't accept and legitimize this barbaric military blockade of Gaza. (Emphasis mine.)
The only way to end the occupation and blockade is to strip it of its perceived legitimacy – and in that, I think Free Gaza is doing an admirable job. The Israeli administration is trying to juggle two contradictory narratives at once: 1) that the occupation of Gaza is over and Gazans are free to do what they like, and 2) only the Israeli military has the right to decide who or what enters and exits Gaza. Activists' best strategy is to push against these narratives until one, and then the other, collapses.
But then a couple of days ago, I received an email from Free Gaza, linking to a video detailing conditions in Gaza, that included this line:
Israel outdoes the U.S. in torture, imprisonment and brutality. Where do you think the U.S. learned how to torture?
Reading this, I finally decided to unsubscribe myself from their updates.
As I and others have written numerous times before, claiming that the U.S. – the world's most powerful nation with the world's most powerful military – is taking orders from or being controlled by a small (albeit belligerent) nation like Israel is nothing but the current incarnation of the myth of Jewish domination. Shifting blame for the U.S.'s crimes (torture, imprisonment, brutality) onto Jews, or claiming that whatever white Americans do, Jews do it worse, is nothing but the current incarnation of the myth of Jewish evil. (If you have no idea what I'm talking about, then please go away and come back after you've educated yourself.) What stopped the author of this email from simply writing, "Israel is engaging in torture, unjustifiable imprisonment*, and brutality?" Why the need to compare? Which is worse: the imprisonment of civilians in Gaza, or the imprisonment of immigrant families and nonviolent drug offenders in the U.S.? Which is worse: Israeli assaults on Palestinians or American assaults on Iraqis? Which is worse? Which is worse? We need to decide which one's worse – and fast! Your cause or my cause? Your country's oppressor class or my country's oppressor class? Why does it matter!? What in the world is gained by such a comparison, besides excusing that which is familiar in order to highlight that which is alien?
I suspect that it's precisely anti-Semitic – yes, this is anti-Semitic – statements like these, made over and over again and never challenged, that turn many Jewish activists off from Palestinian liberation movements and make us decide to focus our energies elsewhere**. It's the difference between building an inclusive movement that awakens in us a sense of responsibility for what's being done ostensibly in our name, and working to alienate us by strengthening our preexisting internalized shame and self-hatred (shame not for what Jews in another country are doing at this moment in history, but rather for one's own irrevocable Jewishness). It leads to very real physical consequences – although it's pathetic that so many people think mental and cultural consequences don't matter.
And for those of you who might be thinking, "who cares about some line that offended you when there's genocide going on?" Well, first off, that kind of reasoning is often used as an excuse to avoid acknowledging problematic behavior. Will we only be allowed to call out anti-Semitism after Israel has fully retreated from the occupied territories and granted all Palestinian refugees their right of return to pre-1948 land? Assuming that that's never going to happen, are Jews simply never allowed to call out anti-Semitism again? (And how do you feel when you hear that your ethnic/religious group is required to accept its oppression because some of its members have committed crimes?) Secondly, if one line isn't that big a deal, then it must not be a big deal to refrain from saying it, right? To tell someone else not to say it? How much energy does it take to just say, "Hey, cool it, that's not helpful?" If you feel uncomfortable saying that, then examine why. Are you afraid of getting in the way? Well, getting in the way of what, exactly? Sympathizing with "the enemy?" Who is the enemy, and who is being affected by such a statement? Benjamin Netanyahu? The U.S. and AIPAC? Boeing and Caterpillar? Or that woman in the yarmulke over there whom everyone is suddenly staring at?
Acting in solidarity with Jews, Israeli or Diaspora, is no more difficult than acting in solidarity with Palestinians. So where are our allies? Where are you?
* I hope readers who are prison abolitionists know what I mean here.
** Which isn't to say that we don't have plenty of reasons to focus our energies elsewhere. Diaspora Jews are not obligated to center Israel over other issues simply because we share a religion or ethnicity with Israelis.

Notwithstanding its long tarrying by tho -way. I hasten to thank you with all my heart, aud to assure you that ita kind words and generous sentiments bave lost none of their force by lhe lapse ol time, I hope you will not think me insensible to the honors with which you tell me I would be welcomed In Europe, if, at, present, I appear deaf lo your assurance of their high import. It is true that the role which, up to this time, I have been permitted to ploy In tbe great drama which my country is enacting before tho world, Ib humble. Bt ill our cause is just: to me the blood of my children has consecrated it, it is precious to my heart. All I have and all I own are in it therefore I prefer to tarry here—a refugee from my home and my little ones—watching and waiting. That we have no navy is also true. Nevertheless, something may turn up. Chance may throw opportunity in my way. If so, here I am in place; and here I prefer to tarry, content to wait upon events, and patiently to bide my time. It has now been but little more than a year since this war wqb forced upon us. We, on our pari, bad to commence it without en army, without a navy, and even without a governmental organization. On tbo other hand, the enemy, surrounded with all the appliances of war, and complete in his organization, arranged his legions for battle, and rejoiced in his strength. Wo found ourselves, purely an agricultural peo. pie, cut off from the world and suddenly thrown upon our own resources, while he was backed by all tho appliances that the workshops of Europe could supply, or that commerce could furnish.— Notwithstanding this, our people bravely resolved to withdraw from all political association with the North, and to accept the consequences, be they what they may. There was no haste, coercion, or intimidation about this move. Never was the popular will more fairly expressed than when the Southern people uttered their voices for secession. Our enemies have sought to make tho imprcs- Bion abroad that the reverse was the case; that this so called rebellion was hatched by a faction, and is led by a few fire eaters. No such thing,— We were pushed into it, all unprepared as we were, by the tyranny aud tho usurpations and the | factions of the North. In every Southern State the people were regularly consulted on the question of separation from theNorlh. They expressed their opinions freely, and after full deliberation ; and never were people more unanimous at any ballot box than were ours for instant, complete and eternal separation from tbeNorth; and that, too, at the instant, all unprepared as they were. There is now no Union feeling in the South ; but the Yankees would fain have you believe tbat thero is. It is a fact not generally known abroad, but 1 may state it now, that when the war commenced and even after we had assembled an army in tbe field, such was the want of preparation, and such was the lack of munitions of war on our part, tbat Now let us inquire where that army is, for I have never been able to mako it out. You know that we have never pretended to have on our side more than 400,000 men in the field at any one time, and that in every advance that Lincoln has attempted lo make upon ue be has beeu .brought standstill, or driven back as soon as he parted from his ships and gunboats. Neither Hunter in Georgia, nor Benbam in South | Carolina, nor Burnside in North Carolina, have found themselves in sufficient force to advance against us. Halleck had to be called with his army from Missouri fo reinforce Buell so as to enable him to advance upon Beauregard at Corinth^ where we have held the two armies in check for months. Butler has not force enough to venture out of New Orleans, and our Jackson, with an army all told ot uot over 21,000, drove the Yankee j Banks out ofthe valley of the Shenandoah two or three weeks ago. With this smalt force he created such a panic in Washington lhat Lincoln called ont the militia by telegraph to defend his capital. He also called General Fremont with his "division" from tho mountain, and McDowell with bis from Rappahannock, to reinforce Banks, and hold in check this handful of Confederates, while McClellan with his " grand army," has been chased from IVich- ioikI. Either we are superior to the Yankees in prowess as two to one, or tbey lost in thia war since December last not leas than a quarter of a million jof men; orthe "universal Yankee nation''has attempted a fraud upon the Governments of Europe by misleading them as to the extent of the preparations to "crush out" tho so called rebellion in 90 days. Moreover, in all of our engagements with the enemy, he claims that we outuumber him. r How cun this be with his 067,000 agaiust onr impended ■100.000? '""" """*' Where are these 667,000 men? I cannot ac- | count for more than 400,000. It is true tli at we have inflicted many and heavy losses upon the enemy in what he has proclaimed to you as victories. But, great as these losses have been, they do not account fjr tho difference between 667,000 and ■100,000. Actum est de Republico. The Union is gone and the sooner the world addresses itself to that i fact the better it will bo for humanity and com-j m<_rce. Most that Europe knows of us has been learned 1 through Yankee sources, and I have taken up your precious time with this disgusting recita' merely to disabuse your mind of any Yankee falsehoods that may have found a lodgment there, -jd to give you practical illustration of tbc despicable character of the people with whom, unfortunately, we find ourselves embroiled, and from whose association wc wish to withdraw. I pass by Butler's infamous proclamation at New Orleans, and the arming our slaves against our wives and children, to tell yon of a Yankee " " jflnement upon savage barbarity that we have to contend with for pence. But peace is very difficult at present, I admit; ,.i the'North reason has lost ita sway over the mind of tbe people, aud tbe judgment of theii rulers has been taken away.

Smith, of the Surgeon-General's office, reports that tho wounded in the late battles at Manassas will number 6,000 ; 4,500 have already been provided for in Washington—the reBt in Alexandria and vicinity. The Government Our free strictures upou arbitrary arrests have out intimations (rora certain high quarters in Washington that if we continue this sort of comment it will be at our peril. We can believe that much folly rules there, but this seems almost incredible. It cannot be thut any branch oi our government seriously intends to open a war upon the loyal press—least of all to begin hy assailing one which, from the outset, bas labored with peculiar zeal to uphold thu President, and inspire confidence. If there is a preas in tho country which can fearlessly appeal to its record for proof of thorough fidelity to the principles of this war, as originally set forth by the administration, it is this journal. To the utmost of onr power we have quickened the people to a sense of the vital character and infinite issues of the contest—have repelled all suggestions of surrender or compromise —have combatted faction, and every disorganizing influence—have cheered iu adversity, and admonished in prosperity—and, in every way possible, have endeavored to sustain and strengthen our rulers under their mighty responsibilities. We have conscientiously believed that the support of theadminislratiou involved the support of thi Cause, and have been almost as reluctant to reflect upon the one as upon the other. In this spirit we have shut our eyes to much that, iu our sober judgment, wr.fi worthy oi blame—believing that almost any evil ivaa leee Injurious than diaUuafr and hoping thal^ time would ameud all errors' Time did not amend them. It^.ngravated them- Wheu it at last brought the arbitrary arrest of ioynl men, we could hold cur peace no longer. Faithfulness to the cause forbade it, To our mind, such a violation of the law and justice was contrary to every principle this war seeks to vindicate. It was robbing loyal minds of their highest ideas, and loyal hearts of thoir holiest supports- It was arming the rebels with new arguments. It was providing foreigners with new sneers. It tended to nothing but diecouragment, disgrace and ruin. We protested against it. We shall continue to protest agaiust it. We shall protest against all things like it. From this time forth wo shall do our whole duty in respeet to this admiuistration We shall criticise with ontreserve—approving and condemning, applauding and denouncing, as freely as in days of peace. The conviction has been forced upou us that so only can we fitly discharge our duty to the country in its awful perils. The people are now realizing the bitter consc quecces of undue confidence in the management of the administration. Tbe abandonment of free criticism, which followed the disaster at Bn Run, and the disposition to trust everything to the discretion of the President, have terminated in an accumulation of disaster and disgrace that appals and sickens every heart. Magnificent armies beaten, incomputable treasure wasted, two hundred thousand lives sacrificed, the capital still beleaguered, the border states lost, loyal state* menaced with invasion—all this, too, when the enemy started with an almost absolute destitution of every war-necessary, and is still imperfectly equipped, ragged, and htjlf famished—it is enough to drive even calm men mad. Considering the available means aud the actual results, it is the most disgraceful failure recorded against any government in modern history. And this is the requital of the people's confidence. This is the fruit of deferential silence when Abraham Lixcoln chosc to relieve his subordinates by making haste to assume the responsibility. It is high time that this passlveness were ended. The people are lost if tbey do not henceforth form their owu conclusions, and make them respected. Ihey have got to exercise a constant vigilance, an unsparingcrit- icism,a.udan untiring pressure. Public opinion must develop and consolidate itself, aud take a shape so formidable that no living man or set ol men, iu Woshiugtou or out of it, will dare defy it. ThiB is the more necessary because, contrary to every precedent in a responsible government, whether monarchical or republican, Mr. Lincoln makes no change in his cabinet, There is not a ministry in Europe which could hold power a day after such a period of disasters as has befallen our present rule. There is not a throne that is stable enough to bolster up incompetency so palpably demonstrated. Aberdeen and Newcastle had to resign ;for mismanagement in the Crimea not a hundredth part so gross, or eo damaging. In all such cases, it is not only the need of securing abler men that prompts the change, but tbe importance of giving the nation a substantial pledge of a uow policy. President Lincoln disregards all such con- -iderationa. He keeps those in his highest administrative trusts who have utterly forfeited the confidence of the people. We say, then, that this strange persistency in retaining men who have been tried and lound wanting, imposes a still high* Will faithfully ana rearlcssly dy its approprii work, it will be moral! to keep its ground. E ^^^^^^^^^^^^^ history of ihe rebel ooafederacy, koowe that it was the rebel preas mainly which compelled President Davis to change his Secretary of War after the rebel disasters ofthe sprinff, and forced upon him the aggressive policy which is now developing il- self with Buch wonderful Buccees and prestige.— That press used no ijlnudinhmcnts, and practiced no reserve. It. was thoroughly penetrated with the feeling that its cause was lost unless there were a change, aud it thundered its denunciations with a freedom and a spirit that ought to put to an everlasting shame the sucking-dove roaring which has beeu the style with the loyal press, under as much greater provocation as the honor of its cause was higher, and its stake more precious. There is no mistake about it; President Lincoln and his clibsen advisers must be loss tenderly dealt with. They must be held more sternly to their responsibilities. They must be made to feel something of the dreadful earnestness which surcharges the heart of the people. They must learn to respect the rights ofthe people, and to treat the people as their masters, aud not as their servants. They must tolerate freedom of loyal Bpeech, and renounce all idea of intimidating the loyal press. Fiom the N*\» York Metropolitan "Record. Is Abolitionism a Sentiment or a Principle? Iu the terrible crisis through which tho country is now passing;, the public mind is sorely tried in its endeavors to find out a cause commensurate with an effect eo disastrous. It ia the interest of certain politicians to argue the people into the belief lhat shivery Is the fruitful cause of the pros ent perilous condition of the llepublic, and itis insisted that but for it we would still be pursuing a career of unexampled prosperity. That this is a mischievous fallacy a little serious aud impartial reflection will, wo ihink, make clearly evident.— Slavery is not^Jer se the cause, but, through the designs of fanatical and bad men, & has been made the cause. It was found au admirable subject with which to win the political support of those with whom sentiment takes the place of principle, and who ace pt a fatt as illustrative of the whole system. Steadily and rapidly has this sentiinenlal opposition to au institution whicli is bound wilh tbe industrial Interests of the nation progres.-ed until It has finally assumed a form that threatens the annihilation of Lhe nation itself. That this repugnance to the institution has its on2i» in seutiment merely, and not in pi-ine.ijile. is conclusively proved by the social condition of the free negro in the North. We call him free; but is he not as much a slave to the prejudices of society as bis brethren who are held in legal bondage in the South ? What sacrifice to the principle of unrestrained and universal freedom, so far as it applies to bis case, have we made ? Is he not excluded from all honorable occupation 1 Does uot the white man object to work iu the same shop or factory with him? lias not an overwhelming vote pronounced agaiust allowing him that inalienable right of the white citizen, universal suffrage? lias not the emancipated contraband been prohibited by one State from entering within its boundaries. and have not enfficient indications been given iu other States ta satisfy any candid mind that emigration thereto of colored fugitives would not be permitted 1 All this yoes to prove that the opposition to slavery is based merely on sentiment, and not ou principle. But we will admit, for;the sake ofthe argument, that some, if not a large number of the oppouents of the institution, are impelled iu their course by devotion to what they believe to be a principle.— Let this be granted, and what follows I Why, we naturally inquire what sacrifices have they made to secure its success? Have they contributed geu- crouslj of the'r means? Have they exhibited a williuguess to do anything else besides talking and writing about the horrors of slavery ? Have their leaders been les-j covetous cf the emoluments of office than their political antagonists, or have they been found when in office to be less corrupt? Those who have studied the course of events during the last .aglrteea months, will have no difficulty in finding correct answers to these queries. The daily journals tell us, and the reports of Congressional committees confirm their statements, that in the letting out of contracts, and in other official transactions, there nerer has been exhibited such an amount of political rascality and corruption since tho foundation of the llepublic. A. RoseaH*"**"* Co From the New "fork Metropolitan jteeord. What is Secesrtotilsm : It ia a favorite dodge of some people now-a days to endeavor to shut up a man wiio disagrees witli them by accusing him of seccssionism.— El is an easy way of getting rid of an argument that one cannot answer, It is far easier than convincing an opponent, in fact, it is " as easy as lying." But is a man a secessionist because he desires pence, or deprecates subjugation, or intimates a wish that persona! liberty was less restricted ■ Is he a secessionist because lie is not blind to the discrepancies in official reports, or the shortcomings of government, the incompetency of a general, or the blunders of a statesman ? Is he a secessionist because lie abhors the idea of conquerers or conquered taking the place of fellow citizens in this Republic, because he wish ef] for no snch union as that of Ireland with England, or Poland with Russia, on this broad continent? Is he a secessionist because he ie alive to the wickedness and absurdity of enslaving white men in order to set negroes Iree? Is a man a secessionist who does not believe our government infallible-, our army invincible, nnd our resource.** illimitable 1 la it secessionism to hint that our Southern brethren arc human beings still, tiiat they have rights which it would be dangerous to disregard, and feelings it would bo wise to take into account ? Is it secessionism to admit that they are brave and wary, or to doubt that they are bo destitute and desponding as it is the fashion to represent them ? Ib it secessionism to shrink from taxation, to wish that our government were more frank in dealing with the people, more desirous of relieving them firom the horrors of suspense, more chary of interfering with the liberty of the press, and freedom of speech, more economic of public money? Is it seccssionism to long wilh a longing of which theso people have no conception for the reconstruction of the Union on the basis of the Constitution, on the good old guarantees that satisfied tbe men of '7G ? What better nre we than they, or what better is the negro now than ho was iu their day, that he should be made a bone of contention between the sections, a wedge to spl'.t up the Republic? Our Revolutionary fathers never thought of legislating negroes into equality with white men ; their sense of right was no more sbooked by tlieir exclusion from political privileges than it was by the exclusion of tbe idiotic, and they were right, for if in the case of the latter, inferiority of intellect is judged sufficient to place the individual below the level of the race, why is not the same cause sufficient to place an inferior race below tho level ofa superior ? Is belief in this secessionism? We think not, but we have heard men accused of secessionism lor less, It would be well, therefore, to know if men are to be dubOed secessionists uecause nrey caunot think ns Government thinks, or as every Individual officer of the Governmeut, from the Secretary of State down to the lowest patrolman in a police district, thinks. For this is what we aro coining to. Meet abolitionists, or as tbey prefer to be called just now, emancipationists, where you will, and presume to assert your right to think for yourself, to criticise with your lips what you condemn in your heart ; proceed ou the assumption that your right to differ ftom them is as clear as their right is to differ from you ; refuse to accept their say-so as au article of your political creed, and they discern at ooco that you are a secessionist. In our opinion, it is not wise to bandy about such charges recklessly ; disloyalty to the Government should never be assumed, for in a land like ours, under a Government elected like ours, to say that the people are disloyal is to say that the Government ia unworthy. or—Glass MiU-bles for Iron ^^^^^^^^^^ Balls: A Richmond correspondent of the ex-Memphis Appeal (now the Grenada Appeal) devotes pait of a letter to tbe manner in which the " Yankee Government is swindled by its contractors." He says an amusing instauce of this cheatery was afforded in the bombardment of Vicksburg. The officerB of the ram Arkansas sent to the rebel Secretary of the Navy, several handsfull of glass marbles such as the boys call " white alleys" and " alley taws,:' whicli were thrown out from the Federal fleet shell ns upon the deck of that vessel. The same things were found] in the streets of Vicksburg.— Some contractor, tho correspondent thinks, had bargained to furnish shells filled with iron grape shot or leaden bullets, but finding glass and stone tobe much cheaper materials, he charged the shells with these articles. They are not so deadly as iron or leaden missiles would be, by reason of wanting the momentum the heavier articles would acquire. The correspondent says the contractor may have beeu a Southern sympathizer on tbe sly, and purposely made his shells as little mischievous as possible, at the same time he serves the interest of his pocket. It, is rather to be presumed, however, that the case was one of pure roguery, alter liie fashion of contractors, and that no consideration of anything except his own pc:ke;., ooterci.! i;-,io the business. Tho war has demonstrated our superiority over the rebels in at least one thing—our- contractors are infinitely more rascally than theirs.' TI»e New Hit)el Steamer "No. 800." According to the following statement, furnished by lhe London correspondent ofthe Dublin Eoening Mail, the new steamer No. 2110, which has just given the Tuscarora the slip, is an ironclad and a very formidable vessel : She can steam from sixteen to eighteen knot3 nn hour ; is perfectly seaworthy, for all practical purposes invulnerable, and will prove to any vessel she may encounter aa formidable au antagonist as our own warrior, the boast of the British navy. This is the '*No. 290" as to whoso whereabouts Federal cruisers have with reason betrayed such anxiety. It had beeu known for some time that a large and powerful iron vesel was constructing at the dockyard of Messrs. Laird, Birkenhead ,- but monsters of the deep nre so much the order of the day at that establishment tbat no one troubled hiB bead much about Lhis new production, or cared to remark the thickness of the plates which were being used. At the very last moment the Federal authorities seem to have had their suspicions aroused, for the Tuscarora was dispatched to keep watch in the neighborhood of the dock where she lay, and the coast of Ireland was also strict:y watched. "No. 200," meanwhile, apprized of all that was going on, dropped down the river quietly one day, and steamed out iuto tho bay, nominally for her trial trip—with a party of ladies and musicians on board. Instead, however, of returning to moorings at Birkenhead, where she would have been kept in durance vile by tho Tuscarora, she quietly landed ber passengers, avoiding Cork, Waterloid, etc.. ia the neighborhood of which she might have heard of something not al all to her advantage. "No. 200*' steamed ■ound by Londonderry and Donegal, was joined off the west coast of Ireland by the sieamer which had previously sailed, having on board the armament intended- for the Ironsides. Had ahe even met the Tuscarora while still unarmed, it was the ntentiou of her Captain to try the fortune of war by running stem on at full speed into her antagonist. It needs no extraordinary discernment to discover what excitement must be causal at tlio ther side of the Atlantic by tbe arrival oi ''So. 290." Mr. Mason, the Confederate comualflfeioiwr, at last dates, was rusticating in SooUand.

The Yakuza series is the evolution of the street brawler. Playing through the beat-'em-up scenarios on the city streets of Tokyo and the island of Okinawa in Yakuza 3, I couldn't help but recall childhood summer hours and allowances lost to games such as Double Dragon and Bad Dudes at the boardwalk arcade. Without a doubt, the previously mentioned Data East classics, along with SEGA's more recent Streets of Rage console franchise, shaped Yakuza creator Toshihiro Nagoshi's concept, giving modern gamers a taste of the old-school love.
Of course, tired brawler tropes such as linear side-scrolling, a lack of real combos, poor/non-existent storytelling, and the inability to customize your character(s) have all gone out the window in Yakuza 3. This contemporary beat-'em-up drops players into a semi-open world, gives you a few fun combos to execute, retells a surprisingly interesting narrative, and rewards your grinding with ever-improving skills and talents.
Yakuza 3 continues the story of Kazuma Kiryu. This time, rather than duking it out exclusively on the tough streets of Tokyo and Osaka, Kazuma finds himself on the island of Okinawa (of Karate Kid fame) protecting the children of the Morning Glory orphanage. That's right; the "selfish" Yakuza life proved to be unsatisfactory to this former orphan-turned-Tojo Clan chairman, preferring to move away from his enemies to take up a more meaningful existence as the head of a sleepy island orphanage. Unfortunately, politics soon get in the way, forcing Kazuma to once again brawl his way to justice. While I know this recap seems a bit on the goofy side, the story told in Yakuza 3 is actually pretty engaging; certainly it does more than enough to prop up the somewhat repetitive action gameplay.
As you might expect from a brawler, you're going to be mashing a lot of buttons. Throughout the game, you'll enter into set-piece fights against bosses and their underlings. These fights make up the majority of gameplay in Yakuza 3. You can kind of think of them as Tekken-like bouts, but without the same depth of combos found in the Tekken franchise. It's unfortunate but true; the combat in Yakuza 3 can get dull if you try to rush straight through the game. This game is quite fun, but it's best enjoyed over a handful of sessions due to its lack of complexity.
Even so, there are a number of ways to kick enemy-butt, including the ability to use objects from the environment (chairs, tables, bicycles, pool cues, etc.), guard against and evade enemy attacks, pull off finishing moves, and tap into special 'Heat' powers, that'll put a smile on your face.
While most of the time you'll just be hammering the Square button, being able to tap Triangle to perform headbutts, wall smashes, and head stomps keeps you feeling like a badass. Moreover, building up your 'Heat' meter will let you pull off special moves - talents you'll acquire by dumping experience points into new skills - which enhances the fighting experience a bit more.
Yes, Yakuza 3 goes beyond the standard beat-'em-up conventions by letting you improve Kazuma over time. By taking out baddies, you'll be rewarded with cash and experience that can be put toward purchasing new items, crafting goodies, and improving and refining your fighting skills. While this customization and leveling mechanic is nowhere near as complex as you'd find in a JRPG, there are enough options and important, game-changing upgrades to make the fighting grind that often sets in more than bearable.

Cinnamon is a Linux desktop which provides advanced innovative features and a traditional user experience. The desktop layout is similar to GNOME Panel (GNOME 2); however, the underlying technology was forked from GNOME Shell (GNOME 3). The emphasis is put on making users feel at home and providing them with an easy to use and comfortable desktop experience. As of version 2.0, Cinnamon is a complete desktop environment and not merely a frontend for GNOME like GNOME Shell and Unity.
- 1 Installation
- 2 Starting Cinnamon
- 3 Configuration
- 4 Tips and tricks
- 5 Troubleshooting
Cinnamon can be installed with the package cinnamon, available in the official repositories.
To install additional Cinnamon themes, applets and extensions, you may wish to add the Cinnamon unofficial repository to your
Starting Cinnamon
Graphical log-in
Simply choose Cinnamon or Cinnamon (Software Rendering) session from your favourite display manager. Cinnamon is the 3D accelerated version, which should be normally used. If you experience problems with your video driver (e.g. artifacts or crashing), try the Cinnamon (Software Rendering) session, which disables 3D acceleration.
Starting Cinnamon manually
If you prefer to start Cinnamon manually from the console, add the following line to your
~/.xinitrc file:
exec cinnamon-session
If the Cinnamon (Software Rendering) session is required, use
cinnamon-session-cinnamon2d instead of
After the
exec command is placed, Cinnamon can be launched by typing
startx. See xinitrc for details.
cinnamon-session instead of
Cinnamon is quite easy to configure — a lot of the configuration that most people will want can be done graphically. Its usability can be customized with applets and extensions, and also it supports theming.
Cinnamon Settings
Simply run the following command:
$ cinnamon-settings
Each settings panel can be accessed directly with the following commands:
$ cinnamon-settings panel $ cinnamon-settings calendar $ cinnamon-settings themes $ cinnamon-settings applets $ cinnamon-settings windows $ cinnamon-settings fonts $ cinnamon-settings hotcorner
and so on.
Networking Support
To enable networking support in cinnamon, install and enable NetworkManager package. You may need to also enable NetworkManager-dispatcher.service, or directly launch NetworkManager to make it work.
Bluetooth support in cinnamon-settings and the panel
A GNOME bluetooth frontend for Cinnamon Panel and Cinnamon Settings is available in the AUR under the name cinnamon-bluetoothAUR.
Installing applets/extensions
The difference between an applet and an extension is that an applet is basically an addition to a panel, whereas an extension can completely change the Cinnamon experience and can do much more than an applet.
There are quite a few packages in the AUR (AUR package search for cinnamon). The process described here is a generic installation process.
Installing applets in Cinnamon is relatively easy. First visit Cinnamon Applets to see all of the current applets.
Download the zip file for the desired applet, and extract to
~/.local/share/cinnamon/applets/ or
Then run
$ cinnamon-settings applets
to bring up the graphical applets manager. If the applet does not show up, press
Alt+F2 and type
r and press
Enter. This will restart cinnamon and likely, the new applet.
The process is analogous for extensions, with the only difference being that directories titled "applets" can be changed to "extensions".
Tips and tricks
Creating custom applets/themes
The official tutorial on creating an applet can be found here, and on creating a custom theme can be found here.
Default desktop background wallpaper path
When you add a wallpaper from a custom path in Cinnamon Settings, Cinnamon copies it to
~/.cinnamon/background. Thus, with every change of your wallpaper you would have to add your updated wallpaper again from the settings menu or copy / symlink it manually to
Show Home, Filesystem desktop icons
By default Cinnamon starts with desktop icons enabled but with no desktop icons on screen. To show desktop icons for the home folder, the filesystem, the trash, mounted volumes and network servers open Cinnamon settings and click on desktop. Enable the checkboxes of the icons you want to see on screen.
A workspace pager can be added to the panel. Right click the panel and choose the option 'Add applets to the panel.' Add the 'Workspace switch applet to the panel. To change its position right click on the panel and change the 'Panel edit mode' on/off switch to on. Click and drag the switcher to the desired position and turn the panel edit mode off when finished.
By default there are 2 workspaces. To add more move the mouse cursor into the top left corner to enter 'Expose mode.' Click the plus sign button on the right of the screen to add more workspaces.
Hide desktop icons
The desktop icons rendering feature is enabled in nemo by default. To disable this feature, change the setting with the following command:
$ gsettings set org.nemo.desktop show-desktop-icons false
QGtkStyle unable to detect the current theme
Installing libgnome-data solves the problem partially, and QGtkStyle will detect the current GTK+ theme. However, to set the same icon and cursor theme, users must specify them explicitly.
The icon theme for Qt apps can be configured by the following command:
$ gconftool-2 --set --type string /desktop/gnome/interface/icon_theme Faenza-Dark
This sets the icon theme to Faenza-Dark located in
The cursor theme for Qt apps can be selected by creating a symbolic link:
$ mkdir ~/.icons $ ln -s /usr/share/icons/Adwaita ~/.icons/default
This sets the cursor theme to Adwaita located in
This is the default behaviour. To show the shutdown menu for example, change the setting for the respective button:
$ gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power button-power 'interactive'
Laptop lid power management settings are ignored
If your system ignores the laptop lid close action, which set in Power Management tool, you have to edit the file /etc/systemd/login.conf and uncomment/modify the following two lines:
HandleLidSwitch=ignore LidSwitchIgnoreInhibited=no
Volume level is not saved
The volume level is not be saved after reboot. The volume will be at 0 but not muted. Installing alsa-utils will solve the problem.
Applets not working
If audio or network applets don't work the user may be required to be added to the relevant groups (audio, network):
$ gpasswd -a [user] [group]
cinnamon-settings: No module named Image
cinnamon-settings does not start with the message that it cannot find a certain module, e.g. the Image module, it is likely that it uses outdated compiled files which refer to no longer existing file locations. In this case remove all
*.pyc files in
/usr/lib/cinnamon-settings and its sub-folders.

Milan-San Remo is the first of the five so-called 'Monuments,' or great Classics of the season and always produces some of the most iconic photographs.
We've trawled our photographers' archives to find some of the best shots from memorable editions of La Classicissima and revisited more recent victories by the likes of Fabian Cancellara, Mark Cavendish and Oscar Freire and last year's race won by Arnaud Demare.
Milan-San Remo is often dominated by the sprinters but lone victories also stand out in the long list of prestigious winners.
The late Laurent Fignon won back-to-back editions of the race in 1988 and 1989, the second coming after dropping Dutchman Frans Maassen on the descent of the Poggio. Claudio Chiappucci's lone victory in 1991 is also a classic after he was part of an attack that formed on the Turchino, 150km from the finish.
Erik Zabel was nicknamed 'Mr San Remo' during his career because he won it four times on the legendary Via Roma finish. He also finished second on two occasions and in 2004 was beaten by Oscar Freire after raising his arms in celebration before crossing the line.
Fabian Cancellara was the last rider to win alone after accelerating away after the descent of the Poggio, while Mark Cavendish produced one of the greatest sprints ever seen at Milan-San Remo to win in 2009. In 2010 Oscar Freire won his third Milan-San Remo with a perfect sprint that distanced Tom Boonen and Alessandro Petacchi and was followed by two Australian wins as first Matt Goss (HTC) and then Simon Gerrans (Orica-GreenEdge) tasted victory.

With their rejuvenated Auris Touring Sports model, Toyota aims to bring us a compact yet very spacious estate that's a cut or two above the class norm. This version boasts a smart look, impressive safety provision and lots of equipment. And it's still very practical, with a decent 530-litre boot that extends to 1,658-litres with the seats folded. It's a car that's been under-rated.
You might well think of the Toyota Auris as a rather sensible but broadly uninteresting thing. If so, you're a little behind the curve. These were sentiments reasonably applicable to the first generation version, but in 2012, Toyota brought us a MK2 design with quite a bit more attitude. Then, just to emphasise the point, they followed this up a year later by launching the estate bodystyle the original design had never offered. And not just any estate. The unconventional name - the Auris Touring Sports - was a clue that this car was trying for a younger, more fashionable audience. People who wanted more from their transport than sense and sensibility. It was a worthy effort, but one slightly hobbled by a rather dull interior and unremarkable driving dynamics. Outside if the top petrol/electric hybrid variant that few could afford, the engine range was a little behind the curve too. So Toyota has gradually improved things since. This revised Touring Sports model matches sharp looks to a revised trim and specification line-up and still manages to be one of the most practical choices in its class. Let's check it all out.
The key news engine-wise is that the powertrain choice has been reduced to just two units, both petrol-powered. One of them is Toyota's revvy 1.2T direct injection turbocharged unit, which develops 115PS and is available with either a six-speed manual or continuously variable auto transmission. Almost three-quarters of Auris customers though, opt for the 1.8-litre petrol/electric hybrid engine. In recent times, the driver appeal of this variant has been increased with powertrain retuning that delivers an improved, natural driving experience with no compromise in the highly efficient performance. The brand's engineers have secured a closer alignment between the increase in engine and vehicle speeds, creating a more linear acceleration feel as the driver applies the throttle. This hybrid engine has long been one of the smoothest in its class and with the addition of the electric motor, it's also reasonably brisk. Working only via auto transmission, it'll make 62mph in 10.9 seconds on the way to 112mph. The Auris hybrid's suspension has been softened in recent times, but that's only because the chassis is reasonably stiff and the suspension components pretty light. This combination means that you'll get a decent ride, with handling that'll also probably be a little better than you'd expect. If your experience of this car is limited to the first generation pre-2012 version, you'll probably also probably notice that the steering is rather more feelsome than it used to be too. When operating its switchable all-electric EV mode, the Auris Hybrid generates zero CO2, NOx and particulates for distances up to 1.2 miles at speeds up to about 31mph, according to the level of battery charge and driving conditions.
This remains one of the better looking compact estates. Some of these look a little awkward with the kind of finished shape that brings to mind a hatchback being squired by a uPVC conservatory. There's nothing like that here. In profile, the 'Touring Sports' model shares its hatchback stabemate's steeply raked windscreen, which flows into an extended roofline with aluminium roof rails and an integral rear spoiler. Does such a fashionable approach mean that this car wants for space inside? Not really. The Touring Sports has the same 2,600mm wheelbase and 10.4m turning circle as the Auris hatch, but is 285mm longer overall - all of that extra length dedicated to the extended load space. With the rear seats in place, the load area is 1,115mm long and 1,452mm wide, giving a capacity of 530-litres. With the rear seats folded, the length increases to 2,047mm; with load space height up to 890mm, the maximum capacity is a very class-competitive 1,658-litres. As well as being more capacious than most of its rivals, the Touring Sports offers strong functionality too. There's the one-touch Easy-Flat folding rear seat system, a dual-level load space floor and a two-way tonneau cover (standard on most trim levels). At the wheel, the cabin's of much higher quality these days - much more Golf like, with smarter instruments and a slick 4.2-inch TFT colour touchscreen.
Because Toyota has now dropped the previously available entry-level 'Active' trim grade, Auris Touring Sports pricing starts a little higher than it did before. The entry-level spec is now 'Icon', which starts from around £23,600 - which makes this estate variant about £1,100 pricier than the equivalent hatch model. Plusher trim levels further up the range include 'Icon Tech', 'Design' and 'Excel'. Even base 'Icon' variants are very well equipped, featuring 16-inch alloys, a reversing camera, front fog lights, power windows, six-speaker audio with DAB, automatic air conditioning and a shark fin antenna, all as standard. The Toyota Safety Sense package provides a Pre-Collision System, Automatic High Beam, Lane Departure Alert and Road Sign Assist. 'Icon Tech' models match this specification and add cruise control and Toyota Touch 2 with Go, adding navigation and connectivity functions to the multimedia system. The 'Design' grade increases the style factor with 17-inch 10-spoke alloy wheels, black side sills, Alcantara upholstery, sports front seats and rear privacy glass, together with cruise control. It also increases the convenience factor with the addition of front and rear parking sensors, an auto-dimming rear-view mirror, auto-folding door mirrors, dusk-sensing headlights and rain-sensing wipers.
If the Auris Touring Sports has piqued your interest with its engineering, you're certainly going to like the news when it comes to running costs. Toyota has made a concerted effort to benchmark the best in class here and in the case of the hybrid model, it has a car that emits just 79g/km and delivers 80.7mpg on the combined cycle. Did you ever think you'd get that from green pump motoring? If you're looking at the conventional 1.2T petrol variant, this delivers 52.3mpg on the combined cycle and 109g/km, though you can improve on that further by opting for Multidrive S CVT automatic transmission: do that and the figures are upgraded to 61.4mpg and 106g/km.

The J.S. Jenks Elementary School wanted the Chestnut Hill Community and local businesses and organizations "to see first hand the energy and talent of it's students," so it held an open house on Oct. 4.
Principal Mary Lynskey said she wanted the community to get to know Jenks.
"We don't want people to say 'I know Jenks – it's that building with the playground,'" Lynskey said.
Lynskey said Jenks has a lot of wonderful programs, but that, unfortunately, people in the community don't know about them. She said the school wanted to "reintroduce everyone to Jenks."
The community open house included a tour of the school, choir performances by students and a classical music concert performed by The Sebastian Trio for participants and Jenks Art and Music (J.A.M.) students.
Also held that day was a session of the Jenks Retired and Senior Volunteer Program (R.S.V.P.)
Through a partnership with Klein Jewish Community Center in Northeast Philadelphia, retired volunteers assist students in Jenks' "Art goes to School" program.
Renee Warnick, violist in the Sebastian Trio, said music is important because it helps students deal with the pressures of school.
"Sometimes there are feelings that we have inside that you can't find the words to express, and music allows you to express those emotions," said Warnick, whose two children attend Jenks.
Hannah Jin Cole, a violist, said being involved in a choir or band helps children feel like they belong and fit in.
"It's a way to develop friendships with a diverse group of people," Jin Cole said. "It decreases bullying by providing opportunities for children to interact socially."
She added that research has found that students involved in music programs report feeling less peer pressure.
Warnick said that because the skills required to play an instrument are difficult, students usually are not successful the very first time they play a piece.
"That's something that everybody needs to learn, that even if you aren't successful on your first try, then you try again and it gets a little easier," Warnick said.
She said children learn the importance of perseverance and begin to apply it to different aspects of their life.
Warnick recalled how it was a struggle for her son Drew to practice
"He finished playing his piece the other day and said, 'I have this weird feeling that maybe I like playing the piano,'" Warnick said. "And that was the best thing I could hear as a parent that it surprised him he felt good at the end of his lesson – that what he did made him feel good inside."
Andrew Leland, a music teacher at Jenks, said he sees the positive effects of music education on students everyday. Leland said music allows children to grow emotionally and affects many different facets of learning.
"I see students all the time who struggle, behaviorally and academically, but once music enters into the picture their behavior and grades improve," Leland said. ,
Unfortunately, because of budget cuts, Jenks lost its drum and art teacher. The school currently has two full-time music teachers. Through partnerships with World Café Live, the Academy of Music and many other organizations, the school hopes to continue to grow and expand its musical program. Leland said J.A.M. students recently attended the opera La Boheme at the Academy of Music free of charge.
