Five Things To Know From The Weekend: Tigers Swept in Anaheim
The calendar has turned from May flowers to June.... freeze warnings? Regardless of quirky Michigan weather, June also brings finals season in the NBA and NHL and welcomes in the dog days of summer for the Tigers and all other baseball teams. With that in mind here's five things from this weekend you should know to start your week off right.
1) Justin Verlander looked shaky in rehab start
Much was made about Justin Verlander finally trying to shake his injury woes and get back to pitching here in 2015. He didn't look particularly great throwing 79 pitches in 2.2 innings of work on Sunday, giving up six hits and three earned runs. For what it's worth Toledo did win the game 11-6 and did so against a team that is tops in their division in the minors. Not much is known if Verlander will start again with Toledo or Detroit the next time he pitches.
2) The Tampa Bay Lightning don't care about history
The New York Rangers went into Tampa and handled their business to earn the right to play game 7. All the hard work in the regular season gets you home ice and home crowd advantage when everything is on the line. The Rangers are unbeaten at home in game 7's in their long Original Six era lifetime, and the Tampa Bay Lightning plugged their ears of all that nonsense and played some good hockey when it mattered.
Two third period goals from Alex Killorn and Ondrej Palat on Friday night was all the support behemoth netminder Ben Bishop needed as he recorded a second game 7 shutout this postseason. The Lightning looked good in that game and they'll need to continue for one more round if they want to knock out their fourth Original Six team this playoffs.
3) The Chicago Blackhawks are making history
Rocky Wirtz is potentially the greatest thing to happen to the Blackhawks ever. Since he took over in 2007, Chicago has two Stanley cups and earned their place on Saturday to compete for a third with a 5-3 win over the Anaheim Ducks, IN ANAHEIM! It also marks the fifth time the Hawks getting to the conference finals in the last seven years, all of which they have qualified for the playoffs. If they are able to defeat a good Tampa Bay team and win the Cup, they are very much the first "post-lockout" or "salary cap era" dynasty, no question.
4) Klay Thompson is hurt but should be ready for Game 1
Smack in the middle of a long layoff before the NBA finals start up, comes some injury news out of the Bay Area on Friday. Klay Thompson, half of the Splash Brothers, developed a concussion after his team ousted the Houston Rockets in the Western final. As soon as this story was making the rounds, the Warriors and Thompson's camp, including his own father, has said he'll be ready for game 1 come Thursday. I guess it's not just the Cavs who are using the break to heal up their contributors.
5) The San Francisco Giants don't allow many runs
The National League is not something many people follow closely in an American League market but check this out. After starting the season 4-10, the Giants have gone on a tear of 25 wins in their last 35. Spotting them just a half game back of the Dodgers as of this morning. What's more impressive is that they threw eight shutouts in May. Only one team has done that in the last 25 years (August 2013, Dodgers).
One more number to throw out, six of those shutouts came in two bursts. Three in a row early in the month against the Angels and Padres and then three more in a row middle of the month when the Dodgers couldn't put up a run in a three game set in the Bay Area. The defending champs are out of their championship hangover it would seem.
These are my five things from the weekend and now they're yours, I'm Producer Zak, have a great week everyone!

Lightroom or Picasa?
6 comments:
Not much help here---I've never even heard of Lightroom. However, I always go with whatever is user friendly!ReplyDelete
I just downloaded the trial version of Photoshop Elements (the baby version) and I'm not breezing through it either. There's sooo much to learn and I'm overwhelmed. Hang in there.ReplyDelete
I don't know how to use any of them and so wish I did! Thank you for your comment on my blog, very helpful!!! I get caught up in "ingredient" talk, helps to get back to reality.ReplyDelete
I use Picasa and Picnik. They are the most user friendly in my opinion. I have tried Photoshop but it's just too dang complicated. My photos are not great but they are getting better. Good luck Lightroom. I love that your son gave you the tutorial. :o)ReplyDelete
I use Picnik, and honestly haven't even heard of Lightroom...so you are doing much better than I :) Picnik is very easy to use, that's why I've stuck with it.ReplyDelete
no idea about either program - but i hope the baptism was lovely!ReplyDelete

Norouz, the traditional celebration of the Persian New Year in Iran and the start of spring (March 21), was inscribed for the second time on UNESCO's Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity on November 30.
The ancient tradition of Norouz was inscribed for the first time on September 30, 2009, on the UNESCO's list as a practice shared by seven countries namely Iran, the leading state in preparing the dossier, and Azerbaijan Republic, India, Kyrgyzstan, Pakistan, Turkey and Uzbekistan.
The registration of the Iranian New Year was proposed by eminent Iranian anthropologist Mohammad Mirshokraee, 73, who had a major contribution in preparing the dossier, ISNA reported.
Later in 2014, five more countries expressed interest to be enlisted on the UNESCO list as places where Norouz is celebrated.
According to the regulations on intangible heritage, once a country is added to a dossier, the entire dossier should be revised and rewritten for a new process of registration at UNESCO.
On March 2-7, 2015, Iran hosted the five new countries. The representatives of Afghanistan, Iraq, Kazakhstan, Tajikistan and Turkmenistan met in Tehran to discuss the modalities of a new dossier to add the five countries to the list.
The new dossier was among the nominations for the 2016 List of Intangible Heritage of Humanity at the 11th Session of the Intangible Cultural Heritage Committee in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, where it was finalized on November 30, to include the five new countries. It is now an intangible cultural heritage of humanity with the highest number of participating countries (12) inscribed on the UNESCO list.
Mohammad Hassan Talebian, Cultural Heritage deputy at Iran's Cultural Heritage, Handicrafts and Tourism Organization (ICHHTO) was at the session. "Norouz is a manifestation of wisdom, moderation and hope for life," he said.
"I think more countries will join the global dossier of Norouz in future. We hope that the traditions of Norouz will be promoted in all countries," Talebian added.
The 2-week Norouz festivities usually commence at the start of Spring Equinox (March 21) each year, and include public rituals, house-cleaning, shopping, special meals, travelling, family visits, gift-giving and street performances.
Origin of Norouz
"The origin of Norouz is the Iranian plateau and its surrounding lands," said Mirshokraee earlier in an interview with essayist and translator Maryam Ala Amjadi.
"Historians have opined that over 18,000 years ago, in the last period of the ice age, climate change led to the emergence of distinct seasons in a way that summer became distinguishable from autumn and winter from spring."
It is axiomatic that the beginning of one season or the end of another coincides with certain behaviors or rituals, the least of which is for instance, change of attire.
The greatest seasonal shift happens with the advent of spring. The severe cold comes to an end and nature is once again fully awake. The climate becomes warmer and people resume activities suspended in winter. With the advent of spring, farmers start working in the fields and herders bring out their cattle once again.
Life becomes new with the freshness of nature. Blossoms signify a new period, a new time, Norouz or literally, new day. People celebrate it as an integral part of their life.
Therefore, Norouz became a tradition over time and a part of Iranian culture when people revere spring and revive their lives with the revival of nature. Gradually, its elements were integrated into people's customs and the culture of Norouz was shaped.
The earliest available evidence of Norouz belongs to the Sumerians who migrated across the Zagros Mountains to Mesopotamia over 5,000 years ago. "They took Norouz with them, just like Iranians today who take Norouz with them wherever they go."
Mohammad Mirshokraee has over 40 years of experience in folklore, linguistics and anthropological research. He is the former director of Anthropology Department at Research Institute of Cultural Heritage and Tourism (RICHT).
The prolific Iranian scholar has over 150 articles and 9 books on anthropology and culture published in Iran and elsewhere. 'Humans and Water in Iran', 'Anthropology and Museums', 'Tea in Iranian Culture' and 'The Language of Masouleh People' are some of his published works.
He is also the editor-in-chief of the journal published by RICHT as well as contributing editor to many other journals of culture, museum, history and art.

A groundbreaking project with an estimated cost of USD $15.9 billion, the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau bridge is the most awaited opening of this year with predictions that it will launch in the second quarter of 2018. The 55km crossing is comprised of three cable bridges and an undersea tunnel, as well as three artificial islands that connect Hong Kong, Macau, and Zhuhai. These three major cities on the Pearl River Delta in China will be making history as the world's longest bridge over water becomes one of the iconic landmarks within the area.
An ambitious project that started 35 years ago, it was the rapid growth and increase of cross-border traffic in 1983 that prompted the proposal for this infrastructure. It was a collaborative decision and effort of the authorities of the three islands to create a long-term solution through new road links. The National Development and Reform Commission and the Hong Kong Government conducted a comprehensive study on the transport linkage between Hong Kong and the western bank of the Pearl River Delta. The project studies asserted that it will provide significant reapings in terms of socio-economic benefits for the Greater Pearl River Delta Region.
Set to dramatically change the present mode of transportation linking Hong Kong and Pearl River West region which relies mainly on water transport, it will shorten the distance from Hong Kong to Macau and Zhuhai from 160 to 30 kilometers and ultimately shorten the journey time to within half an hour. The bridge will put the three cities of Zhuhai, Macau, and Hong Kong within an hour's commute of each other.
Flying over the still-under-construction #HongKongMacauZhuhaiBridge #HKMZB shortly after departure from #HKIA for the short flight to Taipei onboard #CathayPacific #777-300ER on 14 August 2017 #HongKong #Lantau #TaiO #SaiTsoWan #ChekLapKok #PearlRiverDelta #bridge #engineering #Boeing #instaaviation #avgeek #geography #planescapes #viewfromthetop #viewfromabove #windowseat #viewfromseat7a
What's in it for Macau residents? Well, apart from the fact that it will reduce the distance from Hong Kong to Macau and Zhuhai, it's bound to be a road trip to remember setting a world record journey for the longest bridge over water. The bridge will boost the local tourism industry and highlight new multi-destination itineraries that will certainly enhance the tourist experience in the region.
An achievement that took three decades in the making, the Hong Kong–Zhuhai–Macau Bridge is a historical moment that we'll all be watching out for. American Architect, writer and educator, Frank Lloyd Wright once said, "Architecture is the triumph of human imagination over materials, methods, and men". This infrastructure is a true testament to that.

Day 7-Joy & Kindness
Romans 15:13 "May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in Him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit."
Our Sunday morning started off with our usual delicious breakfast and devotion. Our topic this morning was joy and kindness. We have all experienced incredible joy throughout our week and have enjoyed sharing joy within our team and with those we've met along the way. The kindness showed to us by the Healing Haiti staff, children, directors of various organizations, and the people of Haiti is infectious!
Today we boarded the Tap Tap and headed to Leveque to attend the Deaf Church! The road to the church (as well as the school where the HDA students attend) is a VERY rocky and bumpy ride. Due to road conditions, we had to walk up a fairly steep and rocky path to get to the top of the hill. It was all worth it when we were greeted by the precious students who were all dressed up in their new Sunday finest! Many thanks to all who donated the beautiful clothing. The students were all smiles in their new outfits.
Pastors Benedict and Jacques Wilson offered prayers, worship songs, and the message about Daniel and how he fully trusted in God. To sit in this special place and worship with these beautiful children and adults is truly an honor and a blessing.
On the way back to HDA we stopped at Chez Maggy's, a true Haitian restaurant. We enjoyed chicken, fish, and goat, along with traditional fried plantains and rice and beans. With our bellies full, we returned to HDA and enjoyed some time hearing stories from the directors, Meredith and Keith Henderson, and then spent some time playing with the students. There was jump roping, bubbles, sidewalk chalk, a parachute, and soccer! Needless to say, we were all hot and tired when it was time to say our farewells. Good byes are never easy but we will always cherish these memories and the special friends we have made along the way.
To cool off and refresh ourselves, we headed up to spend some time reflecting on the week at the pool. We shared our favorite memories which included water truck day, La Loo Orphanage, the Home for Sick and Dying Babies and Children, pizza at Fleri, Montfort School for the Deaf, and the Haiti Deaf Academy.
We continued the conversation over a great meal of shepherd's pie and fresh vegetables. We wrapped up the evening uploading all of the photos from the week and continuing to reflect on all of the blessings we have received over the past seven days. One of the best blessings is to have shared this week as a TEAM, a team of friends who joyfully served in Haiti and grew in our faith. We will be sad to leave and part ways, but we know that we have a bond with one another through Jesus and nothing can break that bond. We want to say a special thank you to each and every person who has made this trip possible. You prayed, you purchased birdseed wreaths, jewelry, paintings, t-shirts, coffee mugs, and many other handmade items. You ordered cakes. You encouraged us when we needed it most, and for this and so much more, we are truly grateful. Thank you for following us in our journey and praying for our safe return tomorrow. We leave you with this Haitian phrase: N a we pi ta, Ayiti, or See you later, Haiti!
A day of Reflection and Sun
From Radiant Life - Michigan and Minnesota
Just like a regular Sunday back at home, we began our morning attending a church. This time it was not the one we are used to, for today we got to attend Rendez-Vous. Here we were able to wear headphones that translated the sermon into English for us. It felt a lot like a church service at Radiant Life some of us go to, back in Sturgis. The seats were filled early with people eager to worship and hear God's word. We worshipped, took communion, and listened to a sermon about time. The basis of the message shared today was focused on how time is valuable. Filling your day with things that are not as important as they may seem, can take you away from your time spent with God.
After a wonderful service at church, we all loaded onto the Tap Tap to get ready for a bumpy, FAST ride. This time we were headed to Wahoo beach. Getting to be here opened up a totally different view of Haiti. The sun was shining like it has been all week. The ocean was gleaming and just waiting for us to take a dip into the refreshing atmosphere. From seeing a jellyfish in our swimming area to seeing Paul zoom away with our fearless leader on a jet ski, I'd say it was quite a fun experience. Aside from swimming and jet skiing, we kayaked, paddle boarded, played volleyball and relaxed while soaking up the sun. The time spent here allowed us to reflect on our past few days of service to the Haitian community.
Throughout the week I was able to watch each team member, including myself, grow miraculously in our faith. Most of us did not know every person before this trip, but we quickly became family as the week went on. Jokes from Tom, Tap Tap rides, and serving God as a team brought us together. We were able to share an experience that not all of us have gotten to have before. From delivering water to visiting orphanages, we saw God here in every direction we looked. Haiti is a beautiful place. I have not watched this place change from what it was before, for this was my first time. But I can clearly see God working in all the hearts of whom I got the opportunity to meet. I'd just like to say, "Hey you!" from the team of 10 of us Michiganders and Minnesotans, or so called the M&M's. As we head home tomorrow, we will surely bring home our well worth it sunburns, and most importantly the memories we created here in Port Au Prince. I will forever be changed by this trip. Blessings to everyone. I am excited to continue to watch this place transform into the visions that God has laid out, and what the people here imagine it to be someday.

Will Some Precious Metals IRA Purchases Be Subject To Sales Taxes?
August 1, 2019
Pat Heller
There will doubtless be a number of unintended consequences arising out of the June 2018 Supreme Court decision in South Dakota v. Wayfair. The issue in this court case was whether the South Dakota government could require some out-of-state sellers with no nexus in South Dakota to collect and remit that state's sales taxes when making sales to state residents. The decision in that case was that out-of-state businesses that met threshold requirements for number of transactions or total sales volume with South Dakota residents could be required to do so.
Other state governments are wrangling with the implications of this court decision. Residents in 39 states (with 87.5% of the nation's population) enjoy either no sales tax at all or complete or partial sales tax exemptions on retail purchases of precious metals bullion and rare coins. But, those who live in the District of Columbia and 11 other states (Arkansas, Hawaii, Kentucky, Maine, Mississippi, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, Tennessee, Vermont, and Wisconsin) are subject to paying sales taxes on such in-state purchases.
Before this Supreme Court decision, it was clear that those living in a state that subjected retail purchases of precious metals bullion and rare coins to sales tax could avoid this tax by making a purchase from a business located in another state and leaving those assets outside of the state where they live. Such transactions were not sited in their state and the assets were not brought into the state to become subject to an equivalent use tax in lieu of a sales tax.
This opportunity for residents in the District of Columbia and 11 states with no bullion/coin sales tax exemption to avoid paying sales taxes through out-of-state purchases and storage may now be in jeopardy.
Some state governments are considering whether to make all purchases made anywhere in the US by in-state residents subject to that state's sales tax. If any of the twelve jurisdictions named above makes a decision that such purchases are subject to sales tax, the tax may even apply to all purchases made by a precious metals individual retirement account.
I don't yet know if any states have enacted legislation or issued regulations to define the geographic reach of sales tax liability. As they do, expect the definitions to vary from state to state. That is why, to be on the safe side, residents in the District of Columbia and the eleven states with no sales tax exemption on the retail sales of precious metals bullion and rare coins may want to check with their Treasury departments before making out-of-state purchases thinking that they have avoided paying sales tax.

The night exhibits at the Aurora Theatre had been a mix of the ship's own crew of dancers and singers plus some outdoors comics and singers. In common, the shows had been fairly great. We would have liked them to mix up the entertainment each evening instead than allocate music, comedy and magic into different evenings. Instead than an whole display of magic, we would have preferred each night featuring a selection of entertainment. Live Music about the ship was a good added contact. There are two rooms in the Glass Home. The large room has a established-up a great deal like the Roxy, with a broad diagonally placed stage. There is a little region with chairs in the back again, but it [[motley crue tickets ottawa>http://aquaponicsbook.net/author/showtickets2/]] mainly is just a huge flooring. The 2nd space is about half that dimension, and has a little stage in the front. Exhibits in the little room have a extremely personal feel.

Willy Paul Releases Yet Another Controversial Song
13 December 2018
Wilson Abubakar Radido, known to many as Willy Pozze has released yet another controversial song. The song is known as Alkaida and was produced by a top Tanzanian producer, Kimambo.
The song has already set tongues wagging as it seems way too far from gospel.
Willy Paul seems to have copied the idea of his new song from top Tanzania songstress, Nandy. The beats are nearly the same as Nandy's song called Aibu, which was also produced by Kimambo.
The song has no gospel content, a move that seems to raise questions among Willy Paul's fans on whether he is still a gospel artiste.

Buying a second cutter - graphic format issues
1rogerl2 replied to 1rogerl2's topic in General discussionThank you. I haven't check here for awhile, but appreciate your time and efforts. I've downloaded the files and will try this.
Looking at adding bigger cutter
1rogerl2 posted a topic in Pre-sale questionsHello Everyone, I currently have a Graphtec CE6000-40 and doing great stencil cutting business on eBay. I've been toying with the idea of getting a larger cutter (24") to maximize my cutting ability.(I cut a variety of stencil, not custom) I'd like to get a CE6000-60, but am also looking at other brands that may be less expensive and will do the job. My issue is that all my staple artwork is stored as ".gstudio and I'm don't know if they will be compatible. Any suggestion on equipment and/or saving options. Have a great evening! Thanks
Buying a second cutter - graphic format issues
1rogerl2 posted a topic in General discussionHi Everyone, I current use a Graphtec CE6000-40 and love it, but I want to go to a 24" machine. My issue is the graphics that I already have (1,000+) are all cut jobs with .gstudio extensions. If I go with a Roland, or other brand how much trouble am I getting in to trying to use my existing cut jobs on a different brand of machine. I'm finding some good deals on way cheaper machines than the Graphtec line. Thanks for any help you can render here.
Roland CAMM-1 CM-400 - Has anyone heard of this? Impressions Needed
1rogerl2 replied to TheCustomVinylShop's topic in Roland Cutting Plotter DiscussionI made an offer on this CM-400 and it was accepted. My worry is how difficult it's going to be to convert my Graphtec layouts to a Roland layout without having to redesign them all.. Anyone have any advise on this? TIA
Just an update on this cutter I bought back in April 2016. I have ben using this thing like mad as my stencil business is building on eBay, and locally. This CE6000-40 hasn't missed a beat. I'm now looking at expanding with a Roland CAMM-1 PRO CM-400. I don't know how old it is, but from researching it, it must be pretty old as the connections are not USB, and the Drivers are Win95-98-NT. Anyone know how old it might be? Thanks again for everyone's great advise.
Roland CAMM-1 CM-400 - Has anyone heard of this? Impressions Needed
1rogerl2 replied to TheCustomVinylShop's topic in Roland Cutting Plotter DiscussionHello All Does anyone know when the Roland CM-400 was produced. It seems to be pretty aged as it shows drivers for Win95-98-NT I have the chance to buy one for $950 that claims to be in GREAT shape and I was just wondering if it's worth a 3 hr. drive to look at it. Thanks
1rogerl2 posted a topic in GraphTec Cutting Plotter DiscussionI have a chance to buy this machine and owner wants $750. Used very little, pictures look good, but I have not actually seen the machine. Any thoughts on if this is a good price, and does this model function anything like the CE6000-40? Thanks for helping
Sorry, It's a CE6000-40 and I bought it. It was new and I think it was a great deal from what I can tell.
OK,found a deal locally and hopefully buying a NIB Graphtec CE63000-40 for $800. It's a print shop selling it, and I'm a little concerned about it being NIB. Any ways I can be positive that it is? Thanks
Wow, those stars are really nice. Thanks for all the info. I don't plan on more than just cutting stencils for cerakoting / duracoting firearms so I'm thinking a 15" machine should be good. I'll probably take all this solid advice and go up one size on the width.
Thanks, I sorta figured that.
New to cutting vinyl
1rogerl2 posted a topic in Vinyl CuttersAny help on getting started with equipment to cut Avery yellow mask stencils for Cerakoting firearms? I'm looking at MH and SC equipment but Us Cutter Sales recommended much more expensive Titan 2....not a lot of job starting out so just need something that will cut camo, skulls, Kryptech, and so on..

Do you want your business to scale massively, within a year? You can do this, with proper goal setting.
If you are a lady in business who is guided by her intuition, you are more than likely, a very creative soul. Naturally, you may overlook goal setting as a necessary part of your biz career.
I'm here to help you live by your intuition yet still have a plan, while being able to express your soul's purpose through your business. THIS IS KEY, so read on.
Let's go!
Decide to be successful
There is no point in making plans if you do not fully believe that they will happen. As my coach explained to me, "If you're building a business with your hand on the back door, just leave." ALWAYS, make plans with full belief and intention that those plans will happen.
Do you believe it? Good! Let's move on.

The long haul
Now that you have decided that your goals are achievable, you are in it for the long haul. Congrats! Grab a piece of paper, pen and a coffee because this is where things happen. Think about your purpose on this earth. What is it? How can you correlate this with your business? How can you infuse your gifts, talents, and unique abilities into your business? This is where the money is MADE! Where will this take you in 5 years time? Where do you want to be in 5 years? 3 years? 1 year? Break it down and write all this information down in one sitting. Do not think too hard about this. Simple write down what comes to mind.How can you infuse your gifts, talents, and unique abilities into your business? This is where the money is MADE! Click To Tweet
Break it down
Now that you have your 5, 3, and 1 year goals, it's time to break those down even further. Break that 1 year goal up into fourths. Each one of those goals is your quarterly goal. Break your quarterly goal up into fourths. Each one of those goals is your weekly goal. Break your weekly goal up into fifths (if you work on your business Monday through Friday). Each one of those goals is your daily goal. Make sure they are realistic.
Make a commitment
You are embarking on a journey of entrepreneurship by monetizing your business. However, you are not like the rest of them. You are being guided every day by a power bigger than anyone can imagine. When you commit to make your goals happen, know that they align with your soul's purpose, and truly put in the effort, you are destined for success. Make a commitment to success, today.Make a commitment to success. Click To Tweet

In closing, I encourage you to know your long-term goal, break it down, and take one day a a time. There is nothing to be gained by taking each day as it comes. Before you know it, you will have built a business that is soul-centered and self-sustained! Win!
Be sure to comment with your thoughts or tips on goal setting. I'd love to hear 'em!

For those of you considering higher ed, or advising students who are, you're probably aware of the recent debate over whether the high costs of a college education are worth it, and if you do go to college, for what is that time best used? Self-exploration? Career preparation? One or both? My opinion is that it should be both - they do not need to be mutually exclusive.
In a recent NYT interview, the new president of Harvard University, Dr. Drew Gilpin Faust, took issue with the federal government's emphasis on higher education's training a globally competitive workforce. She paraphrased W. E. B. DuBois: "Education is not to make men carpenters so much as to make carpenters men." Dr. Faust was reacting to a September 2006 federal Commission's recommendation that college use more standardized testing (a la No Child Left Behind) to raise student standards. Here's another critique of that report.
I think both Dr. Faust and Margaret Spelling's Commission on Higher Education raise good points. Having gone to an expensive private university myself and having witnessed a few fellow students wasting 4-5 years "finding themselves" through hours of video games and partying, there is some merit to the Commission's position that college should be a training ground to enter a competitive workforce and accordingly tough. Our website addresses the reality of the Free Agent workforce.
But many students, some of whom use The Career Key test, need some time to learn about themselves and to explore different majors and different career paths. And that takes freedom and time to take different classes, which some science majors like pre-Med and engineering may limit. Writing skills, for example, may be neglected in some science focused curricula. So exploration outside one's chosen field would be wise.
I think students should take advantage of the freedom to explore, while keeping in mind the end game. After graduation, you need a job, preferably one that you enjoy or at least is a step on a ladder in a career that matches your personality. Or you need to enter a graduate school that is a prerequisite to the same path. The reality of our global economy is that the job market for good, high paying jobs is competitive. You might as well choose a satisfying career at the beginning.

Ten years ago Rob Shimmin was temping for a travel company as he
worked out the best way to earn a living. Having left Leeds Metropolitan
University with a degree in leisure studies, he travelled the world to
gain some life experience. He is a rarity in the post-university
travelling population in that having worked his way around the globe, he
returned with twice as much money as he left with. His entrepreneurial
flair had already revealed itself.
The temping job - cataloguing 10,000 slides of holiday resorts - turned
into a PR role when the company's management decided they could easily
train this eager staff member to do the job of the freelancer they were
then employing. After two weeks of training, Shimmin, aged 23, became PR
and promotions manager. It provided vital experience of managing budgets
and pursuing projects to conclusion. By the time Shimmin left - the firm
had been taken over by a large conglomerate which later went bust - he
was snapped up by Pippa Isbell for her travel PR agency PIPR.
Isbell, now PR director for the Orient Express, still remains in contact
with Shimmin five years after his two-year stint ended. 'Rob's strength
is in building relationships, getting the client to stop and explain
their proposition. He's also very interested in how business works,' she
Upon leaving PIPR, Shimmin moved to Brussels to take up an Ogilvy
vice-presidency. He has since prospered as the office's managing
director for more than three years, presiding over an apparently
seamless success story.
When Shimmin arrived, the office employed ten staff with estimated fees
of pounds 700,000. When he leaves next month to return to London to
become global director of the company's corporate practice, it will
employ almost 30 staff, earning fees in excess of pounds 2 million.
Shimmin's rise to these giddy heights at the tender age of 33 has been
little short of meteoric. He is the first Ogilvy global practice leader
to be based outside the US, evidence of the agency's commitment to Asian
and European expansion. He is also the youngest ever global practice
The man who first hired Shimmin for Ogilvy, current president of Asian
operations Matthew Anderson, says Shimmin's youth will be more of an
asset than a liability. At last year's Ogilvy get-together in Barcelona,
Shimmin co-ordinated a three-office music video spoof of We are the
World, called PR the World. It amused senior management, brought staff
from Dallas, Brussels and Beijing into close contact and cemented
Shimmin's reputation as not only a smooth organiser but also a keen
motivational manager. Anderson says: 'Rob is someone keen to break the
mould. He won't just try and replicate our existing success, but will
try to do things differently.'
There are doubts that Shimmin may not have the necessary gravitas for
such a senior management role. To report to the chairman and CEO of the
whole company surely requires a decorous and professional business
Shimmin's predecessor as global corporate practice head, now New York
managing director Paul Hicks, dismisses this as no cause for
'I have lots of white hair and plenty of what is usually meant by
'gravitas',' he says, 'but clients don't really mind about that.
Increasingly the client is results-driven, and Rob delivers.'
Shimmin's plans for the global corporate practice - which counts among
its clients BP Amoco, Pfizer, Nokia and IBM - are two-fold. First, he
wants to expand the principle of cross-selling across more of the
WPP-owned agency's sister companies, Ogilvy and Mather in advertising,
together with direct marketing and sales promotion concerns. He wants
Ogilvy to be able to take clients that come in for political advice in
the Brussels public affairs practice then sell them other services, each
able to add value to the bottom line.
Shimmin's second challenge, is that 'there is a talent war on at the
moment. I look forward to employing some extraordinarily unorthodox
tactics to win that war,' he says. He maintains that the basic skills of
a good PR person are not only to be found among other agencies, in-house
staff or journalists wishing to jump the fence. 'We want to look wider
and to hire, say, lawyers. I'm not about to start Ogilvy Legal Services,
but smart, young lawyers with the ability to juggle competing demands
can find PR every bit as rewarding and fulfilling as law,' he
Shimmin retained a London home throughout his five-year tenure in
If he had sold in 1995, to buy back at a similar level in 2000 would be
impossible. This businesslike thinking - exhibited in building up
Brussels as a significant Ogilvy presence - should serve to overcome
fears about his relative youth and a total of just ten years' PR

Fujimura's problem
Let [math]\overline{c}^\mu_n[/math] the largest subset of the triangular grid
- [math]\Delta_n := \{ (a,b,c) \in {\Bbb Z}_+^3: a+b+c=n \}[/math]
which contains no equilateral triangles. Fujimura's problem is to compute [math]\overline{c}^\mu_n[/math]. This quantity is relevant to a certain "hyper-optimistic" version of DHJ(3).
It is clear that [math]\overline{c}^\mu_0 = 1[/math].
It is clear that [math]\overline{c}^\mu_1 = 2[/math].
It is clear that [math]\overline{c}^\mu_2 = 4[/math] (e.g. remove (0,2,0) and (1,0,1) from [math]\Delta_2[/math]).
Deleting (0,3,0), (0,2,1), (2,1,0), (1,0,2) from [math]\Delta_3[/math] shows that [math]\overline{c}^\mu_3 \geq 6[/math]. In fact [math]\overline{c}^\mu_3 = 6[/math]: just note (3,0,0) or something symmetrical has to be removed, leaving 3 triangles which do not intersect, so 3 more removals are required.
- [math]\overline{c}^\mu_4=9:[/math]
The set of all [math](a,b,c)[/math] in [math]\Delta_4[/math] with exactly one of a,b,c =0, has 9 elements and doesn't contain any equilateral triangles. It does contain the equilateral triangle (2,2,0),(2,0,2),(0,2,2), however, and it is not resolved whether this triangle refutes this solution.
Let [math]S\subset \Delta_4[/math] be a set without equilateral triangles. If [math](0,0,4)\in S[/math], there can only be one of [math](0,x,4-x)[/math] and [math](x,0,4-x)[/math] in S for [math]x=1,2,3,4[/math]. Thus there can only be 5 elements in S with [math]a=0[/math] or [math]b=0[/math]. The set of elements with [math]a,b\gt0[/math] is isomorphic to [math]\Delta_2[/math], so S can at most have 4 elements in this set. So [math]|S|\leq 4+5=9[/math]. Similar if S contain (0,4,0) or (4,0,0). So if [math]|S|\gt9[/math] S doesn't contain any of these. Also, S can't contain all of [math](0,1,3), (0,3,1), (2,1,1)[/math]. Similar for [math](3,0,1), (1,0,3),(1,2,1)[/math] and [math](1,3,0), (3,1,0), (1,1,2)[/math]. So now we have found 6 elements not in S, but [math]|\Delta_4|=15[/math], so [math]S\leq 15-6=9[/math].
- [math]\overline{c}^\mu_5=12[/math]
The set of all (a,b,c) in [math]\Delta_5[/math] with exactly one of a,b,c=0 has 12 elements and doesn't contain any equilateral triangles.
Let [math]S\subset \Delta_5[/math] be a set without equilateral triangles. If [math](0,0,5)\in S[/math], there can only be one of (0,x,5-x) and (x,0,5-x) in S for x=1,2,3,4,5. Thus there can only be 6 elements in S with a=0 or b=0. The set of element with a,b>0 is isomorphic to [math]\Delta_3[/math], so S can at most have 6 elements in this set. So [math]|S|\leq 6+6=12[/math]. Similar if S contain (0,5,0) or (5,0,0). So if |S| >12 S doesn't contain any of these. S can only contain 2 point in each of the following equilateral triangles:
So now we have found 9 elements not in S, but [math]|\Delta_5|=21[/math], so [math]S\leq 21-9=12[/math].
General n
A lower bound for [math]\overline{c}^\mu_n[/math] is 2n for [math]n \geq 1[/math], by removing (n,0,0), the triangle (n-2,1,1) (0,n-1,1) (0,1,n-1), and all points on the edges of and inside the same triangle. In a similar spirit, we have the lower bound
- [math]\overline{c}^\mu_{n+1} \geq \overline{c}^\mu_n + 2[/math]
for [math]n \geq 1[/math], because we can take an example for [math]\overline{c}^\mu_n[/math] (which cannot be all of [math]\Delta_n[/math]) and add two points on the bottom row, chosen so that the triangle they form has third vertex outside of the original example.
An asymptotically superior lower bound for [math]\overline{c}^\mu_n[/math] is 3(n-1), made of all points in [math]\Delta_n[/math] with exactly one coordinate equal to zero.
A trivial upper bound is
- [math]\overline{c}^\mu_{n+1} \leq \overline{c}^\mu_n + n+2[/math]
since deleting the bottom row of a equilateral-triangle-free-set gives another equilateral-triangle-free-set. We also have the asymptotically superior bound
- [math]\overline{c}^\mu_{n+2} \leq \overline{c}^\mu_n + \frac{3n+2}{2}[/math]
which comes from deleting two bottom rows of a triangle-free set and counting how many vertices are possible in those rows.
Another upper bound comes from counting the triangles. There are [math]\binom{n+2}{3}[/math] triangles, and each point belongs to n of them. So you must remove at least (n+2)(n+1)/6 points to remove all triangles, leaving (n+2)(n+1)/3 points as an upper bound for [math]\overline{c}^\mu_n[/math].

text: God called Kim to serve as our worship minister in May of 2018. Born in Fairfax, Virginia, it was there at age five she gave her life to Jesus. She moved with her family to Texas in 1976. She met J.W. Brinkley and they were married in 1987. Together they have two beautiful children, Jessica (24) and Jeremy (22). Kim and J.W. joined Rockhill Baptist in 2009. Soon after, Kim joined the worship team, then led by our Associate Pastor, Frank Ehrhorn. She played keyboard and sang and, after some time, led worship as a fill-in when Frank was out of town. Kim and J.W. made the move when Rockhill Baptist and First Baptist merged and became First Rock Fellowship (FRF). Over the years, Kim has served at FRF in worship, women's ministry, co-leading marriage classes, and Bible studies. J.W. and Kim have ministered together for the last 32 years as Sunday School teachers, youth communicators – hosting a nationwide radio program, Youth Talk USA (1989-1998), organizing and leading trips for youth to Israel. J.W. pastored a church in Carrollton, Texas (1995-2008) and Kim assisted in administrative tasks, ministry and leading worship. They have been active in Tres Dias, a ministry that hosts Christian renewal weekends which encourage believers to be servant leaders in their church and community, since 1992. Today, Kim and J.W. enjoy leading a Life Group, teaching marriage classes, raising English Springer Spaniels, trips to the Hill Country and being available to share Christ's love whenever and wherever they are able. Kim loves to worship and loves being a part of seeing God glorified and people transformed through worship.

October Books
Wormwood (Poppy Z. Brite)
This collection of horror stories was originally titled Swamp Foetus. Brite now identifies as male and goes by Billy Martin. The naming can be a bit confusing. These stories were written by someone who has spent a lot of time in North Carolina but has since fallen in love with New Orleans, and also thoroughly enjoys modern witchcraft. As ever, some selections are better than others, but in general I don't much care for this collection. It revealed to me why I like some horror stories and not others. Barker's stories celebrate life because it is fragile and precious; Brite's stories celebrate death because it is strong and inexorable. While there is a lot of homosexual male love, it's generally sidelined by the overwhelming fascination with death. Hooray for the representation for gay goths, but maybe there are some guys in the world who like wearing black and listening to heavy metal who don't want to kill themselves or anyone else. In this book, if there are, they are likely to fall for a murderer or someone with a terminal illness. I had a professor once who told us that you can tell the implicit values of an author by seeing who the murderers and the victims are – they are the ones the author is punishing. If all your gay men kill or are killed, is that really positive representation?
The Longest Journey (E. M. Forster)
Really? A Forster novel that doesn't go to Italy? Yup. We do still have the critique of mainstream British middle class, but they stay in Britain this time. A young man has a lot of revolutionary friends in college, but then he graduates and gets a job at a boys' school and his ideas change. It's about the confrontation of ideals with real life, particularly as it regards the educational system. I have a lot of experience with this conflict myself, which is why I am no longer a teacher. I also wanted Protagonist to admit his love for his former classmate, but Forster's explicitly gay stories weren't published during his lifetime. The longest journey of the title is the one that we all take, through life into death. It's one that we all ultimately take alone because of the difficulties in communicating our ideas and experiences. This is a book of isolation.
The Golem and the Jinni (Helene Wecker)
This was a fantastic story. In the late nineteenth century, there were several communities of immigrants living in New York, and the European Jews and the Syrians didn't really have much communication between them. The golem was built to be someone's perfect wife, but he dies on the crossing and she has to figure out what to do with herself now that she's freed from building her life around this one man. She develops skills, gets a job, and ultimately builds a community of friends. The jinni was trapped in a bottle for twelve centuries until a metalsmith accidentally frees him. He also works on getting a job and developing skills, adapting to the new culture and nourishing his memories so that he can figure out how he got stuck. They both distrust humans and feel confined because they can't share their true identities with the world at large. Of course, the woman made of earth and the man made of fire meet each other. I was very pleased to see, though, that they don't fall in love with each other. I'm pretty sure the golem is asexual, though that word is never brought up, and the jinni is very sexual, which gets him into trouble. It is possible to have a book about two people who don't get all romantic. Despite the setting, the writing is of our own time, the firm, focused prose that we favor in both popular and literary novels. Recommended for most adult audiences of readers.

The Sailor Who Fell from Grace with the Sea (Yukio Mishima)
There's a thirteen-year-old boy trying to navigate early adolescence. His friends are sort of terrifying, identifying themselves by numbers instead of names (Chief, One, Two, Three . . .); it's more of an intellectual, anti-sentimental cult than a group of friends. He learns about sexuality by watching his mother through a knothole in the wall between their bedrooms: first he spies on her masturbating, then continues when she meets a man to bring home. The romance between the sailor and the business owner is sweet and a little Hallmark-ish: they meet when he's on shore for a few days; they fuck immediately, fall in love, and write each other letters while he's gone for six months; and then they marry. Moderately wealthy career woman, lower-class hunk with a connection to nature – it's the stuff American movies are made of. For the first half of the book. After the marriage, the sailor tries to learn business and stepfatherhood and life on land in general, and loses the kid's respect in the attempt. But as it turns out, the Japanese law at the time determined that no one younger than fourteen could be tried for any crime, so the Chief reminds them that they can do anything they want in these short remaining months before their birthdays. Even murder.
The Mabinogion (Trans. Sioned Davies)
It took me quite a long time to read this book. It's a group of fragments of Welsh epics, around a thousand years old. There was a specific story that I was looking for, the one about Cerridwen and her cauldron of inspiration, but it's not here. It's part of the Tale of Taliesin, because of course they treat a woman as a supporting character in a tale about a man, and the commonly known version of Taliesin has been determined to be mostly spurious, written in the nineteenth century I think. So I missed that one and got instead the authentic, traditional Welsh stories. There are eleven divisions or manuscripts, but don't let that fool you. There are dozens of stories in this book, and they come so quickly that I could never read very much at a go. I need processing time. I care about understanding what happened, which takes a little digestion, and I also read to share in the emotional experiences of the characters, which just were not explored with the level of detail I (as a twenty-first century reader) prefer. If you're looking for Arthurian chivalric tales, then this is the right place. Forget Lancelot and Galahad, and read up on the other knights, the ones that get left out of the modern tellings, like Geraint and Culhwch. It's like we only care about Arthur as a cuckold, because watching Lancelot have sex with Guinevere allows us to vicariously defy authority and we like that. Here, her name is Gwenhwyfar, and women aren't simply pawns in conflicts between men. The attitude toward sex is remarkably un-Victorian. There aren't really any deities – maybe a little light Christianity every now and again, but these myths are about people, and sometimes giants and magic-users. My edition is heavily footnoted, maybe a little too much. The writing style is abrupt and forceful, and there's a little too much Might Makes Right for my tastes. I do like the way that people refer to others as "the man/woman I love best"; it feels beautiful and right. It acknowledges other loves and other types of love while also recognizing the primacy of this individual, and it separates all that from titles and formally recognized relationships. It's a weird and complex group of stories.
Dead Man's Quill (Jordan Castillo Price)
The final novella in the series. Dixon and Yuri meet Dixon's missing uncle who's been causing havoc and together they resolve all the problems. I don't think they manage a sex scene, which is a little disappointing, but it wrapped up the series perfectly. The author implied in a postscript that there will be more stories, but I'm satisfied with the closure I got here. I will probably reread all four stories again, as if they were a single book, but I don't think I need anything more. They're cute, yes, both the stories and the characters, but I like closure and don't want any sequels.
If on a Winter's Night a Traveler (Italo Calvino)
I liked this book a lot. There are ten first chapters of novels, tied together with a frame about you, the Reader. It is assumed that you, the Reader, are a white European heterosexual man, which I find unfortunate but inevitable in a novel written by an Italian man in the 1970s. The Reader enjoys all of these separate books, but runs into trouble finding the rest of the books, whether through printer errors, sudden interruptions, or the incompletion of manuscripts. He finds a young woman, the Other Reader, and they try to hunt down the books they're reading, to no avail. Because they are separate human beings with different attitudes and experiences, they can never quite agree on the nature of the books they read, and we only see things through his perspective. The stories start off a little paranoid and Hitchcock-y, then around chapter seven things get very sexual indeed, and finally we drift into death and the dismantling of the story. The last few pages involve a discussion of why and how we read, which explains why we can never quite read the same book – even if the text doesn't change, we do, so the experience is always different, from one reader to another, from one reading to the next. Great for people interested in exploring the nature of reading as they do it, but the metafictional elements both explain why critics love it and why it seems to have passed mostly out of the United States' cultural consciousness.
The Body in the Library (Agatha Christie)
This is my first Miss Marple book, and technically it's a December book because I read the last third on Dec 1. I was surprised at how little she actually does; the story focuses primarily on the police officers investigating the murder. She solves it, of course, but the clue-gathering is seldom in her hands. A body appears in the library of a country estate, and the owner's wife is friends with Miss Marple, so of course they work the case together. Very little action as clues are revealed mostly through dialogue. Positive representation of the disabled, less positive representation of the working class, no representation of ethnic minorities. But she's writing for a specific audience in a specific time and place, so these things are to be expected. I appreciate the community-based approach to solving the crimes, even though I am uncomfortable with just how narrow and homogeneous the community is.

I first met Vianney through a mutual friend (Gerald Flores / TacoGear.com) when she was looking to add some fresh headshots to her lineup. I immediately loved working with her (and began digging into her awesome website – SweetLifeBake and loved what I was seeing there. We had done two projects together (including shooting her line of merch, SoyTejana) and she asked me if I'd be interested in photographing her tamalada. Of course, being from south Texas, I knew what tamales, so I could only assume that a tamalada was some sort of gathering to either make or consume tamales. Let's just say I was down.
Having learned photography by photographing my own family's various get-togethers with a Canon A1 and 50/1.4 I knew this was something I couldn't pass up. Vianney wanted that authentic feel throughout the images – while I had brought (and planned to use some lighting) I decided to forgo and utilize the ambient light and just crank up my ISO when I needed to. We started off slowly, getting plenty of "b-roll" still life shots of the decor, setups, and food before we brought in the masses to manufacture tamales. It's not a complicated process, but it is time-consuming and pretty particular – you don't want too much masa, nor do you want to little. Also, you want to ensure you don't skimp on the meat (otherwise you're going to get badmouthed – at least that's what I understand.) In just a few minutes the whole crew was in motion: flattening the husks, spreading the masa, adding the meat, and rolling the tamales up. Before long we had all the shots we needed and it was on to very simple post processing for the end product.
I am always thankful for shoots like these where I get to interact with and have fun alongside everyone involved. Even better is that I learned quite a bit about the tradition behind it during Christmas time. And the best part is that I was sent home with some freshly made tamales and pozole.

During a lull in Tim Story's sequel, a two-dimensional character with a modicum of common sense asks Ice Cube's deadpan detective why he suffers a fool like Kevin Hart's accident-prone rookie.
The veteran Atlanta cop explains that Hart might be a buffoon and a major liability to the police department, but every now and then, he achieves a moment of staggering, jaw-dropping brilliance.
Ride Along 2 is not one of those moments.
This dim-witted cops and robbers caper lazily recycles the set-up of the original film and transplants the chaotic gun fights and male posturing to Miami.
The sun may be sizzling over the south-eastern coast, which is festooned with beach babes in skimpy bikinis and strutting studs in linen shirts, but there are dark clouds over every aspect of the sequel.
Story directs at a lacklustre pace, which suggests he signed on with the returning cast purely for a pay cheque, while parallel romantic subplots beggar belief.
The second film opens with videogame addict Ben Barber (Hart) fresh out of the Police Academy and keen to prove himself on the mean streets of Atlanta.
His impetuosity has dire consequences for his soon-to-be brother-in-law, Detective James Payton (Ice Cube), during an undercover sting.
Consequently, Lieutenant Brooks (Bruce McGill) dispatches Payton to Miami to trace a suspect and Ben begs to tag along to make amends for his costly blunder.
However, the rookie is in the midst of planning his wedding to Payton's sister Angela (Tika Sumpter), and there are sharp differences of opinion between the groom and the feisty wedding planner (Sherri Shepherd).
In order to eliminate the friction, Angela implores her brother to take her fiance to Miami for a few days.
During the subsequent investigation, the two men work closely with ballsy local detective Maya Cruz (Olivia Munn), whose no-nonsense approach to policing piques Payton's romantic interests.
"The girl is devil spawn with lady parts!" hyperventilates Ben in protest.
Meanwhile, the Atlanta cops pool their resources to apprehend a computer hacker (Ken Jeong) and bring down powerful crime lord Antonio Pope (Benjamin Bratt).
Ride Along 2 splutters and wheezes from the Fast & Furious-style opening sequence replete with a throwaway cameo for Tyrese Gibson.
Action set pieces lack pizzazz, including a centrepiece car chase, which is visualised as a videogame a la Grand Theft Auto in Ben's head and consequently lacks pulse-quickening thrills.
The mismatched double act of Ice Cube and Hart fail to convince us that they could suffer an hour together without drawing weapons, let alone work effectively to bring down a major crime cartel.
"Give the dwarf a sedative!" barks the rapper, referring to his hyperactive co-star's diminutive stature.
I'll take two, please, to dull the pain left by Story's film.

Inside the Cellar (Part 1) (あなぐらの中(前編), Anagurano Naka (zenpen)) is the tenth chapter of K: Memory of Red.
The Clansmen of HOMRA bust a cocaine dealer within Shizume City though it appears that there is more; particularly, a Strain is responsible for the drug trafficking. It is soon unveiled as to where this Strain resides. Yata immediately takes up the opportunity to search this supplier's base of operations. However, while there, he meets an unexpected face after an unpleasant farewell.
In Shizume City, an explosion is heard throughout the area. Having taken out numerous gang members, Red King Mikoto Suoh sits in a chair and has a cigarette while Kusanagi speaks to a gang member, wondering how cocaine got into the city and tells the gang member that distributing drugs in their area will be a problem.
While Yata arrives and claims the drugs aren't around, Totsuka states that the money is. Hearing this, Kusanagi suggests taking the money and using it for the greater good while Totsuka films the gang member giving them information, stating they don't have the drugs because they sold them after buying from the trader. Having heard rumors about the trader being a Strain, Kusanagi asks if it is true but is met with silence. Suoh suggests burning him as a result, though Totsuka says such is not practical. Kusanagi notes Totsuka's skill with fire but then attempts his own move, burning the gang member's nose.
Finding out about the Strain with night vision ability living in the underground to avoid Scepter 4 and unable to let him do as he pleases, HOMRA decides to take care of it. When asked who they are, Misaki reveals the insignia and states it's their pride, though the gang member calls it stupid. Reminded of an old traitor, Yata gets angry but is pulled back by Totsuka. Having obtained the code name "Mogura", the group moves out and Yata states he won't forgive those who insult HOMRA, though Suoh states he should let them be. Understanding that HOMRA is strong regardless of words, an excited Yata leaves to find their target.
Despite searching several leads, the HOMRA members are unable to find a definite path to "Mogura". Back at headquarters, Kusanagi asks if splitting up the members to find the target is a wise idea, to which he is told it is. Suoh states if need be, he will do something, resulting in Kusanagi commenting on his laziness. Anna states that for honor, he does as he likes, though Kusanagi states Scepter 4 has taken notice and hopes he won't do anything. Asked if he means Yata, he confirms, stating his reaction to Scepter 4 carries mixed emotions.
Meanwhile, having received the location of "Mogura", Yata tells Kamamoto that he's on his way. Kamamoto urges him not to go on his own, but Yata states he won't wait as nobody can look down on HOMRA. Reaching an old abandoned building, Yata heads inside and wonders why the windows are boarded up. Remembering that "Mogura" has night vision as an ability, Yata turns around and attacks a figure which approaches him. However, he realizes he figure is ex-HOMRA member Saruhiko Fushimi. Asking why he is there, Fushimi explains he's there for work, as he is busier than when he was in HOMRA. Yata asks if he is after "Mogura", to which Fushimi states he is as he finds the area where the drugs were being stored.
Angry over such business happening on Suoh's turf, Yata gets ready for a communication as Fushimi claims he hasn't changed at all and still thinks only of Suoh, asking how long he plans to remain in the "worthless" world. Angry, Yata grabs Fushimi until they hear someone approaching and a bomb suddenly explodes right before the two of them.
Soon after, Misaki wakes up underground on top of Fushimi. Breaking apart, Yata asks the latter if his leg was injured, though Fushimi tells him to shut up. With the floor having collapsed from the explosion, the two are unable to get back to the surface and are trapped in an underground route. Unable to contact their clans as well, Yata realizes he's trapped with Fushimi in a bad place.
