80's Ultraviolence Classic: Urotsukidouji Review
Episode 170: We are in the middle of Spooptober which means were gonna pull out (LOL) the erotic horror anime Legend of the Overfiend and review it.

Samsung on Monday announced that its Galaxy Note 10.1 tablet, which primarily uses a stylus for input, will hit the market this month.
The Galaxy Note 10.1 has a 10.1-inch screen, a 1.4 GHz quad-core processor, and a multiscreen feature that lets users run two applications simultaneously.
"I think it's an interesting differentiator for Samsung against the iPad and has worked for them so far with the [smaller Note smartphone]," Danielle Levitas, a group vice president at IDC, told TechNewsWorld.
Samsung "is clearly looking to establish its own identity in the tablet space, and while Apple has talked about things such as style and image, the one area that Samsung's looking to corner with its Galaxy Note products is versatility of user input," Jeff Orr, a senior practice director at ABI Research, suggested.
Notes on the Galaxy Note 10.1
The Galaxy Note 10.1 runs Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich). It has a 5 MP rear autofocus camera with LED flash and a 1.9 MP front facing camera. It runs on HSPA+.
The tablet comes preloaded with various Google applications. For the enterprise, it offers Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync, on-device encryption, and virtual private network capabilities from Cisco and Juniper Networks.
The Galaxy Note 10.1 comes with an accelerometer, a digital compass, a light and a gyroscope. The tablet weighs about 21 ounces.
Features include the Smart Stay eye-tracking feature; Pop Up Play, which lets users watch videos onscreen while running other tasks; and AllShare Play, which lets users share content in real time when the tablet is connected to Samsung HD TVs, or other consumer electronic devices on the same network.
The Galaxy Note 10.1 will be available in a WiFi-only and a WiFi with 3G HSPA+ versions at launch. A WiFi and LTE version will be available later in the year.
Pricing and the exact launch date have not yet been disclosed.
More on the Stylus
The Galaxy Note 10.1 uses Samsung's S Pen stylus. This launches various applications, including S Note, S Planner, Crayon physics, Adobe Photoshop Touch and Polaris Office, automatically when taken up for use. Alternatively, users can set their preferred apps for automatic launch.
S Note lets users combine notes and sketches with other digital content in preset templates. It's also integrated with knowledge search engines so users can search for, and drag and drop, information into S Notes.
For users in some places, stylus "is likely easier for note-taking for many," IDC's Levitas remarked. "In languages with characters, like the Asian languages, the stylus offers flexibility a keyboard doesn't. And you can still type, using a soft keyboard or your finger."
There isn't likely to be a problem with users resting the palms of their hands on the tablet's screen while writing because "there's an activation button on the S Pen that locks out other means of input when you activate it," ABI's Orr told TechNewsWorld.
Getting an Education
Samsung is also gunning for the education market with the Galaxy Note 10.1. It has optimized its Learning Hub Service, which contains e-textbooks, video lectures and interactive coaching, for the Note 10.1.
The Learning Hub service will be available when the Note 10.1 is launched, in some parts of Asia and Europe, and will be downloadable through Samsung apps in more than 20 countries by the end of the year.
Apple, Amazon and Barnes & Noble, which also target the education market, have relationships with publishers, while Samsung doesn't, ABI's Orr pointed out. Instead, it has partnered with Kno, which offers educational courseware that runs across multiple devices.
This partnership "rounds out the solution," Orr said. "Samsung may not have as much experience in the education market, but it's going towards a complete solution."

Hanson keeps Bantams up
A second-half goal by leading scorer James Hanson earned Bradford the 1-0 win that ensured their Football League survival and left Macclesfield still three points adrift of safety with only two matches left.
After a first half of plenty of endeavour but few goal-scoring chances, Hanson broke the deadlock with a close-range header which appeared to take a deflection off Ben Mills after Craig Fagan's free-kick found him unmarked at the far post. It was Hanson's 14th league and cup goal of the season.
Nahki Wells, who scored a hat-trick in Bradford's 3-1 win at Northampton last week, twice went close to scoring before he was booked for an apparent dive after Portuguese keeper Jose Veiga saved at his feet - an incident that also earned Veiga a yellow card.
Substitute Deane Smalley and skipper Ricky Ravenhill also went close to adding to Bradford's lead, Veiga diving at Ravenhill's feet while Smalley saw his 20-yard shot deflected for a corner in stoppage time.
The visitors put the Bradford defence under pressure at times, but keeper Matt Duke had few direct shots to save.

is a graphics directive that specifies that obj should be used as a texture on faces of polygons and other filled graphics objects.
- Texture[…] provides a texture that can be applied to faces of polygons and filled curves by setting VertexTextureCoordinates.
- Texture can be used in both Graphics and Graphics3D.
- Texture[image] can be used to specify a 2D texture based on an image.
- Textures can be any one-, two-, or three-dimensional arrays of colors.
- The following forms can be used to explicitly specify the color values for textures:
Texture[{c1,c2,…}] a 1D texture of colors Texture[{{c11,c12,…},…}] a 2D texture of colors Texture[{{{c111,c112,…},…},…}] a 3D texture of colors
- Each color can be either a list of the form {r,g,b} corresponding to RGBColor[r,g,b], or a list of the form {r,g,b,a} corresponding to RGBColor[r,g,b,a].
- Texture[obj] is equivalent to Texture[Rasterize[obj]] and will rasterize obj at the size and resolution it would normally be displayed in a notebook.
- Opacity can be used with Texture to specify overall opacity of textures. »
- Texture can be used in FaceForm to texture front and back faces differently. »
- The colors in Texture are taken to be diffuse colors in their interaction with Lighting. »

Lieutenant governor candidate Leland Cheung on Friday had to clarify comments he made on the online forum Reddit in which he indicated he would favor decriminalizing cocaine and heroin as a means to combat addiction.
On Thursday, Cheung, a Democrat, answered questions from Reddit users during one of the "Ask Me Anything" sessions popular on the social news website.
In one exchange, the Cambridge city councilor wrote that he would support a bill to decriminalize cocaine and heroin if "it also came along with education and treatment plans to solve the root of the problem – addiction that devastates lives and often leads to incarceration, further devastating a person's life."
"Simply treating addicts as criminals has not worked and it's time for a different approach," Cheung wrote.
In a statement released by his campaign Friday, Cheung said he would support measures to legalize recreational marijuana as long as the drug is regulated and taxed – with the revenue funding substance abuse treatment and education.
"However, let me be clear: I do not support measures to legalize cocaine and heroin for recreational use, but believe that it is our moral imperative to reform our commonwealth's criminal justice system," he said.
Cheung is running against Mike Lake and Steve Kerrigan in the Sept. 9 Democratic primary for lieutenant governor.

raw.githack.com serves raw files directly from GitHub, Bitbucket or GitLab with proper Content-Type headers
Migrating from RawGit? You can convert their URLs here too!
Use this URL in production
No traffic limits or throttling. Files are served via CloudFlare's CDN.
Files are automatically optimized.
Use a specific tag or commit hash in the URL (not a branch). Files are cached permanently based on the URL. Query strings are ignored.
The catch: this is a free service, so there are no uptime or support guarantees.
Use this URL for development
New changes you push to GitHub will be reflected within minutes.
Excessive traffic will be throttled.
Who runs this thing?
Hi, I'm Pavel Puchkin.
Why is this necessary? Can't I just load files from GitHub, Bitbucket or GitLab directly?
When you request a file from
bitbucket.org or
gitlab.com, they are usually served (in the case of JavaScript, HTML, CSS, and some other file types) with a
Content-Type of
They do this because serving raw files from a git repo is relatively inefficient, so they want to discourage people from using their repos for static file hosting.
raw.githack.com acts as a caching proxy, forwarding requests to GitHub, Bitbucket or GitLab, caching the responses either for a short time (in the case of development URLs) or permanently (in the case of CDN URLs), and relaying them to your browser with the correct
Content-Type headers.
The caching layer ensures that minimal load is placed on GitHub, Bitbucket or GitLab, and you get quick and easy static file hosting right from a repo. Everyone's happy!
Is raw.githack.com associated with GitHub, Bitbucket or GitLab?
No, raw.githack.com is not associated with GitHub, Bitbucket or GitLab in any way. Please don't contact their support asking for help with raw.githack.com. They'll give you a weird look and back away slowly.
What's the difference between development and CDN URLs?
When you make a request to a development URL, the server loads the requested file from GitHub, serves it to your browser with the correct
Content-Type header, and caches it for a short time. If you push new changes to GitHub, you can reload and see them within a few minutes, which makes development URLs useful for low-traffic testing or sharing demos during development.
Requests to CDN are routed through CloudFlare's content delivery network, and are cached for a year the first time they're loaded. This results in the best performance and reduces load on raw.githack.com and on underlying service, but it means that reloading won't fetch new changes. Furthermore, JS and CSS files will be minified for the sake of performance.
During development, when traffic is low and freshness is more important than performance, use development URLs. For anything you share with the public or push to production, use CDN URLs.
Can I use a development URL on a production website?
No. Please use CDN URLs for anything that might result in heavy traffic. Only use development URLs for low-traffic testing and sharing temporary examples or demos during development. When people misuse the service, it costs me money. Please don't be a jerk.
What will happen if I send large amounts of traffic to a development URL?
Bad things gonna happen. You'd better don't do that. Trust me. Remember, only use CDN URLs in production; never development one.
How long does the CDN cache files? How can I make it refresh my file?
The CDN caches files for one year based on their path. It ignores query strings. This is done both to improve performance and to make it possible for the CDN to handle massive amounts of traffic without causing excessive load on raw.githack.com, GitHub's, Bitbucket's or GitLab's servers.
To ensure that the CDN always serves the version of the file you want, use a git tag or commit ref in the file's path instead of a branch name, and update the URL if you push a new version of the file.
So, instead of a URL like
/user/repo/BRANCH/file, use a URL like
/user/repo/TAG/file or
I need guaranteed 100% uptime. Should I use raw.githack.com?
Probably not.
raw.githack.com is a free service and cannot provide any uptime or support guarantees, even for CDN URLs. While I do my best to keep things running, things sometimes go wrong. Sometimes there are network or provider issues outside my control, sometimes abusive traffic temporarily affects response times, and sometimes I break things (although I try really hard not to).
Since I run raw.githack.com in my spare time, with my own money and with free CDN hosting by CloudFlare, it has a budget that's probably less than you pay for coffee in a given month. My goal is to help other open source developers get their projects up and running, but if you need to serve files that are crucial to your business, you should probably pay for a host with well-funded infrastructure and uptime guarantees.
I have feedback or want to report a bug! Who can I contact?
To report a critical issue like raw.githack.com being broken or to share general feedback, send me a letter. I try to respond quickly when I'm awake and near a computer, but sometimes I do have to sleep. To report a non-critical bug, please file an issue.
How raw.githack.com differs from RawGit?
The idea of this service is inspired from rawgit.com (formerly rawgithub.com). I just realized that using a whole framework (node.js with express.js) for such simple thing as requests proxying is overkilling, and made same stuff using nginx only.
RawGit supports only GitHub while raw.githack.com supports Bitbucket and GitLab as well.
