Random Rants is a weekly post I am starting that I will post on Sundays. I will be ranting about things I loved or didn't love from the past week...these rants do not pertain to books.
Ahhh, I find myself very impatient when it comes to school. I'm going back to school to finish up my degree to get my AA and I can't register for classes until the 22ed at 9pm!! Nine freaking PM! Laaawd help me now. You're all probably thinking, "Why the hell is she so excited about school?" lol. Well to assuage your curiosity, I'm more or less excited because I love school, yeah... right. Here's the real reason. I feel like I've fallen so behind. Most of my friends have graduated with their BA's and are either going back to school for their Masters or taking a breather from the books. A few of my friends have graduated from a Junior College with their AA's and are now transferred to a 4year University and are well on their way to getting their Bachelors degree. *sigh* I have been in and out of school since I graduated high school (Which was back in '08 mind you) My first year of college I ended up withdrawing from all of my classes because I couldn't pay for the books and laaawd knows you definitely need those books to keep up to pass the class. Plus, I had gotten my very first job and was putting half of my pay checks away to pay for my books the next semester. Well, let's just say that didn't happen (the saving up part) Things happen, family happens and you end up just as broke as the day you were before you started working. So anyway, the reason behind my being in and out of school is because of financial issues. Now, I don't want to make this a huge ass post, although it seems to just be getting longer and longer the more my fingers fly over this dang keyboard. So, let me just say this before y'all start thinking that I haven't tried everything. I don't qualify for financial aid, as my parents make too much money, I used to qualify for the BOG fee waiver (free tuition) until my mom got a raise at work and then that went out the window. I've applied for more scholarships than I can count. I've applied for so many jobs, waited the six months, and applied to those same places again and I'm still applying to more jobs. A week or so ago I turned in 12 applications for CVS at 4 different locations and for 3 different positions. You would think living in California there would be a shit load of jobs open, but nope. I have yet to find one. So needless to say, I'm finally going back to school and I am gonna try and knock out this AA degree by next summer and transfer out to a 4 year university to work on my Bachelors. I hope to be working on my masters by 24... that sound's good right? I sure hope so.
Soryy for such a long post. But, I kept it to just one topic for today :)

This is going to be one of the closest votes for the Golden Globes, especially for a Dramatic TV series. The Walking Dead is up against...Dexter, Boardwalk Empire, Mad Men and The Good Wife. To me its only down to three shows...WD, Dexter and Boardwalk Empire.ReplyDelete
It'll probably be something like The Good Wife that wins...but WD should totally take it!ReplyDelete
They deserve it .ReplyDelete

BELIZE CITY–Tensions stemming from a long-standing disagreement between the Belize Sugar Cane Farmers Association (BSCFA) and the Belize Sugar Industries (BSI)/American Sugar Refineries (ASR) continue to linger since a majority of the cane farmers have hesitantly yielded to what some have referred to as a "one-sided" deal that was brokered between the two major stakeholders in the interest of a time-sensitive crop season that has been delayed by six weeks, but mainly due to the fact that 99% of those cañeros are immersed in overwhelming financial obligations which have negatively impacted their bargaining position.
As it presently stands, two cane farmers associations which broke away from the BSCFA and are now scheduled to also be registered as legitimate business partners with the factory owners, reportedly signed their own commercial agreements with BSI/ASR earlier today.
While that process plays out, however, a war of words has ensued between local activist elements, including BSCFA executives, on one hand, and pro-government officials and other government supporters labeled as "conspirators" who, allegations are, have pushed the vulnerable cañeros into a corner as it relates to accepting the proposed commercial purchasing agreement which had been on the table.
During a Government of Belize (GOB) press conference announcing GOB's intent to endorse other parties to forge business relationships with the multinational sugar company in the absence of a signed agreement between the BSCFA and BSI/ASR exactly a week ago, on Thursday, January 8, those agitators were referred to as "radicals" by Prime Minister Dean Barrow, as he accused them of "manipulating the situation for their own benefit."
Today, however, the so-called radicals, which consist mainly of members of the BSCFA, the umbrella trade union, the National Trade Union Congress of Belize (NTUCB) and the activist organization known as the Rod of Correction (ROC), came out swinging and lashed out at their opponents at a midday press conference at the NTUCB's Belize City office.
BSCFA Orange Walk branch chairman, Alfredo Ortega, maintained that the cañeros were put in a compromising situation by GOB's actions, but emphasized that although the embattled BSCFA may be down, it is certainly not out.
He said, "Farmers were called to a meeting with their directors over the weekend, and there were rumors that the association is breaking up – that is not true. We have not seen any paper from any group of [executive] members resigning from the BSCFA."
According to Ortega, 16 of the 18 branches pledged to remain with the BSCFA, and one branch had to clarify their position because their plan was to remove themselves from the BSCFA, but they did not bring any documents to demonstrate their intentions.
He said that the BSCFA is still strong, and acknowledged that all farmers want the crop to start, primarily because of their financial commitments, and not because they are happy with the new proposed agreement.
The vocal BSCFA executive later described BSI/ASR's "strong armed" ultimatum which suggested that if the farmers do not sign the agreement, the crop won't start, as "bullsh*t."
Concluding with a daunting quote from legendary Mexican revolutionist, Emiliano Zapata, he said, "If there is no justice for the people, then there will be no rest for the Government!"
Attorney Audrey Matura-Shepherd then censured certain government attorneys for "intentional misinformation that is being given out" in regards to the constitutionality of the Sugar Industry Act, for which a court case had been initiated in 2010, and she maintained that even though a consent order was handed down for the Act to be amended, it was not pursued, and therefore, what the PM said at his press conference last week was an "outright lie".
"When the Prime Minister said that the [Sugar Industry] Act was unconstitutional, that was an outright lie; there is no other way to characterize it, and it is clear that there is no court order that declares any portion of the Act or the BSCFA as being unconstitutional", she asserted.
Matura-Shepherd maintained that if the Act was indeed unconstitutional, the attorneys for the BSCFA, BSI and the SICB would have argued to that effect, but she alleged that it was instead intended to dissuade the farmers, most of whom lack adequate understanding of the legal implications.
"It's embarrassing for me as a junior attorney to have to be correcting my senior attorneys on basic principles of law and procedure…If we had brought a wrong case, the judge would have thrown out the case", she indicated.
She added that GOB and BSI/ASR have teamed up against the cañeros as a method of deliberately "frustrating the process" so that the court does not force the Sugar Industry Control Board (SICB) to comply with the law.
While she cited that the case has not been withdrawn, it must be noted that once the grinding season starts, then there will be no need to proceed with the Writ of Mandamus to have the SICB use its authority to declare the delayed crop season open.
Speaking on behalf of the NTUCB – which had also caught the ire of GOB, but has remained steadfast in the corner of the cañeros – was 2nd Vice President, Marvin Mora, who made it clear that they (the union) are not able to speak much about cane farming, or even the cañeros, but what they are able to comment on is the negotiations that had been taking place amongst the cane producers and the millers.
He elaborated on basic negotiation principles which, he stressed, were not honored in the new proposed commercial purchasing agreement, and therefore pointed out that the NTUCB had to get involved since the farmers, who also fall under the NTUCB umbrella, are not getting a fair deal in the process.
"We cannot stand and watch a multinational corporation 'bully-reg' the hard working farmers", Mora affirmed, as he called on the cañeros to unite in the best interest of themselves and their families.
While the saga does not show any signs of going away anytime soon, the pressing conditions related to the welfare of not only the farmers, but the survival of the entire sugar industry, have forced the cañeros to sign the new agreement that will tie them down for at least the next three years.

As college seniors, their family and friends prepare for graduation ceremonies, they may not know it, but hotels within the vicinity of their campuses are also getting ready for these events. Each year, crowds of people flock en masse to attend college commencement ceremonies, oftentimes needing a place to stay overnight. A share of hotels has picked up on this trend and is now making an effort to accommodate these guests and appeal to school pride by incorporating different features into their amenities, which enables them to capitalize on seasonal college events and boost their local economies.
Dorm lodging isn't the only option In some cases, schools offer on-campus lodging for guests, allowing people to sleep in underclassmen dorm rooms that have already been cleared. Colleges can't cram everyone in these rooms, and some individuals who aren't tempted to relive their dorm days may look for alternatives. Consequently, nearby hotels have become a go-to for individuals visiting colleges - whether it be for graduations, freshmen orientations, recruitment trips or any other occasions involving schools.
The New York Times explained that a number of hotels in close proximity to colleges have taken notice of this business opportunity and have made adjustments to their offerings so they are more marketable to this unique demographic. Because schools present a steady stream of potential customers, certain establishments have decided to design guest experiences that are full of spirit so they can continuously attract guests stopping by the area for college-related purposes.
Michael Giebelhausen, assistant professor of marketing for the Cornell University School of Administration, told The New York Times that, "[colleges] can help protect hotels from the ups and downs of the economy."
Colleges serve as customer funnel for hotels Hotels are now targeting these consumers with a variety of college-inspired features. For example, The Hotel Commonwealth in Boston is planning to attract guests heading to Boston University with the upcoming Terrier Suite, which is named after the school's mascot. This room will display images of the institution and other decor elements that are consistent with the college motif.
At the same time, the Nashville Marriott has taken its Vanderbilt pride to the rest of the hotel, having table linens that are black and gold - the school's colors. The Revere Hotel Boston Common, which is close to multiple universities, offers gift packages to its guests that are full of college paraphernalia.
"Hotels associating themselves with a local college can be seen as a co-branding activity," explained Giebelhausen. "They are leveraging the strengths of one brand to augment another."

MD Stem Cells Announces New Spinal Cord Stem Cell Treatment Combined with Exoskeleton and Virtual Reality
MD Stem Cells coordinates latest technologies to advance stem cell treatment of paraplegia.
Westport, CT, February 12, 2018 --(
)-- Spinal cord injury recovery remains the "Holy Grail" of regenerative medicine because many patients suffering spinal cord damage and paralysis are active people experiencing a life changing injury suddenly and without warning. MD Stem Cells has recently obtained institutional review board approval for a new clinical patient treatment study for spinal cord injury using bone marrow derived stem cells (BMSC). It is called the Stem Cell Spinal Cord Injury Exoskeleton and Virtual Reality study or SciExVR for short.
The study uses 6 paraspinal injections of the stem cells in paralyzed patients both at the level of the damaged segment and segments above and below this level combined with intravenous and intranasal stem cells. Additions to this treatment may include exoskeletal mobility or virtual reality visualization to provide additional stimulation in the hoped for regeneration of motor and sensory neurons.
Paraspinal means next to the spinal nerves as they exit the spinal cord. By giving injections not only adjacent to the level of injury but also segments above and below, it is hoped that the axons will have greater regenerative potential. Similarly the axons of the sensory neurons that travel up the spinal cord to the brain and provide touch and other sensation from below the injury may have improved recovery. Following the paraspinal injections, the remaining stem cells are provided intravenously which is in the vein in the arm, and intranasally which is within the nose.
"In pre-clinical models, Bone Marrow Stem Cells (BMSC) given intravenously have been shown to pass through the lungs easily and enter the brain through the paraventricular organs," explained Dr. Steven Levy, CEO & President of MD Stem Cells, Study Director and developer of SciExVR. "The study also places BMSC intranasal because in pre-clinical models they may enter the brain through the 5th cranial nerves or Trigeminal nerves."
In some ways even more exciting is the combination of stem cells with Exoskeleton and Virtual Reality technology.
Exoskeleton is the use of supports powered by motors which allows patients with paraplegia to stand and walk. Exoskeleton has been used by itself to make some improvements in function but SciExVR is the first study to seek to combine stem cells with this technology. It is hoped that mechanical stimulation of proprioceptors below the injury, combined with adjacent stimulation of motor neurons in the brain, will augment the stem cell effects.
"Virtual Reality is very exciting because by engaging the brain in the thought of moving the legs, the brain sends signals down any remaining or partially functional motor neurons," explained Dr. Levy. "The brain and the spinal cord is very adaptable and it is hoped that increasing spinal neuron stimulation through Exoskeleton and Virtual Reality will help increase the stem cells effects. This is the first effort to combine stem cells and VR in a comprehensive clinical study."
In addition to Stem Cell Spinal Cord Injury Exoskeleton and Virtual Reality (SciExVR) National Clinical Trial for spinal cord injury resulting in paraplegia, MD Stem Cells is the Sponsor of the Stem Cell Ophthalmology Treatment Study II (SCOTS 2), and the Neurology Stem Cell Treatment study (NEST).
Patients interested in treatment in SciExVR, SCOTS 2, or NEST may contact MD Stem Cells by email - firstname.lastname@example.com - by phone 203-423-9494 or by visiting the website www.mdstemcells.com and using the Contact Us page. All studies may be reviewed on www.clinicaltrials.gov and typing in the name of the study or the NCT number. Please follow us on Twitter @mdstemcells.com for updates about stem cell treatments.

SEO Is Mostly Quack Science : 'There is no hypothesis being tested here. It's just graphs, and misleading graphs at that. The sad part is, SEOMoz is as close as the SEO industry comes to real science. They may be presenting specious results in hopes of looking like they know what they're talking about, but at least they are collecting some sort of data. Everything else in the field is either anecdotal hocus-pocus or a decree from Matt Cutts. When you hire an SEO consultant, what you are really paying for is domain experience in the not-failing-at-web-design field.'

Totally agree on SEO, 95% of the people "in the biz" I've dealt with are total con artists, the same guys who were selling budget websites in the nineties, and faxes and photocopiers in the eighties. There's a certain amount of technical stuff business managers need to be aware of, but for the most part those business managers are far more qualified to push their own sites.

In the early 1500s, England began training with the rest of Europe more frequently. In this process, they picked up the Lombard word articiocco. As that developed in English for the next few centuries, people began to mistakenly use -choke instead of -cioccio as the suffix simply because they thought it was right; this type of change, known as folk etymology, is particularly fascinating. Anyway, articioccio comes from the Old Spanish word alcarchofa, and since they had a lot of interactions with the Moors because of conquests and all that, alcarchofa comes from the Arabic word al-kursuf. Throughout all this time the word retained the meaning that we know today, but before then, it meant something different. Philologists theorize that the Arabic term may derive from the Akkadian word arsupu, which described a type of grainy, braid-like cereal, but also a type of fruit and a fish scales. Akkadians were weird. Usage of artichoke has been on the rise since its first, accidental emergence in the mid-1700s.

Neeta visits Rwanda
Neeta, one of our management team, recently had the opportunity to visit Rwanda.
Rwanda is a small East African country that draws visitors from all over the world, primarily to see its critically endangered mountain gorillas.
The capital city, Kigali, is approximately one and a half hours flight from Nairobi on Kenya Airways or Rwandair. Alternatively, buses offer overland routes between Rwanda and its neighbouring countries.
Attractions in Rwanda: Lake Kivu, Akagera National Park, Nyungwe National Park, Virunga volcanos National Park. One can do biking, hiking, climbing, rainforest, volcano trekking, and much more.
Our itinerary – 4 nights/5 days
1st day, we went straight to Gisenyi town bordering Democratic Republic of Congo. From Kigali airport it took approximately 3 hrs.
Stayed at Lake Kivu Serena hotel, it is a great hotel and the staff generally friendly & helpful. Relaxed at hotel.
On the 2nd day, went to track Rwanda's famous gorillas. Tracking can be done all year round, but the optimum time to do so is during the dry season (June to September), when the going is easier and the weather is more pleasant.
Set off early morning at 5.30am to reach the Volcanoes National Park gate by 7.00am from Gisenyi town. It takes approximately one and half hours to reach the gate. Need a 4WD vehicle to enter the park.
Most visitors spend the night before the tracking at one of the lodges inside or near to Volcanoes National Park. But some of the lodges (especially inside the park) can be quite pricey.
Hotels in Volcanoes National Park are Mountain Gorillas Nest Lodge, Five Volcanoes Boutique hotel, Sabyinyo Silverback Lodge, Mountain Gorilla View Lodge, Hotel Muhabara, Gorillas Volcanoes Hotel, Virunga Lodge, Le Bambou Gorilla Village, Garr Hotel, Villa Gorilla, La Palme Hotel & Kinigi Guest House.
One can also go to see the Gorillas from Kigali which takes approx. the same time. (2hrs)
At the gate morning tea is served with a performance by traditional dancers whilst the rangers and guides form groups of eight to go on various treks to see the Gorilla families.
Each day, groups are guided to spend an hour with one of the 10 habituated families used for ecotourism in Volcanoes National Park (habituated means they are used to short visits by humans). The other eight families are studied for research purposes. The age limit for gorilla trekking is over 15 years & you have to be fit enough to walk for 3 hours.
To find the gorillas, a team of trackers are out at 6 am looking for the families, then radio their whereabouts to the guides. We tracked the Mawoza Group, which has 10 members led by one male Silverback with five wives and four children, for one and half hours. Our guide instructed us to keep a seven-meter buffer zone from the gorillas, but there is nothing stopping them from coming close to us! We spent an hour with the family.
The trek from gate to gorillas depend how gorilla families move around. One can get to them after trekking for half hour to 3 hours.
The price of a Rwanda gorilla permit is USD 1500 per person & 30% discount (USD 1050) is applicable if visiting Rwanda national parks (Akagera & Nyungwe) for 3 days & more during the low season of November to May
After seeing the Gorillas, we visited a nearby village for a first-hand look at rural life in the region.
On the 3rd day we went by road to Kigali. It took us 3 hours. Stayed at Kigali Serena a nice hotel with good ambience. Relaxed at the hotel.
On our last day went to visit Kigali's colourful markets, art galleries and the unforgettable Genocide Memorial to learn about a tragic period in Rwanda's past. Took a walk through Nyamirambo Township and enjoy a local lunch at the Nyamirambo Women's Centre, which provides local women with education and vocational training.
A great destination for couples and families with children over 15 years.


text: Turns out Daniel Handler, best known for introducing a generation of children to dark, absurd post-modern literature under his Lemony Snicket handle, can enthrall grown-ups as well. The native San Franciscan's novel Adverbs, new in paperback this month, is a circus-contortionist act, a meditation on the vagaries of modern love that twists around itself in astounding and cringe-inducing ways. It reads less like a traditional novel and more like a dossier that has been dropped and hastily reassembled. Names, events, and characters surface and cross-reference each other obliquely in these 17 self-contained chapters, making the book as much of a jigsaw puzzle as a narrative. Handler is out to limn the concept of love, and his disaffected young San Franciscans experience the emotion straight, gay, platonic, always absurdly difficult in dark and poignant ways. "Soundly" is the most affecting chapter, following two girlfriends one a drunk, one dying of a mysterious, rare disease on a hasty, ill-fated road trip up the coast. The story could have been terribly maudlin, but Handler deftly shuffles in new layers of dread, heartbreak, magic, and bitter humor at every turn. Love isn't an answer, Adverbs says, it's a vital, desperate inquiry that we constantly make of each other. It's impossible, really, but we try anyway. "The miracle is the adverbs," Handler writes in "Truly," "the way things are done. It is the way love gets done despite every catastrophe." F.R.

[Haley Wohler:] Source: LYBIO.net
Hey everyone it's Haley, and today I have a little more serious video (excuse my hair by the way).
But recently a transgender teen named Leelah [Al-] Alcorn, I don't know how to pronounce that but she killed herself because her parents just didn't want to have anything to do with her anymore and she just felt like everyone hated her and everyone was just always against her. So she killed herself. And um…the worst thing about this death is that her parents on Twitter they posted that she was on a walk and that she got hit by a truck. But — that's not true because she killed herself basically because of her parents.
So that just makes the situation ten times worse than it already was and she wrote a um…a suicide note on Twitter [correction] on Tumblr and I'm going to read it:
It says:
The only way I will rest in peace is if one day transgender people aren't treated the way I was, they're treated like humans, with valid feelings and human rights.
Gender needs to be taught [about] in schools, the earlier the better.
My death needs to mean something. My death needs to be counted in the number of transgender people who commit suicide this year.
I want someone to look at that number and say "that's fucked up" and fix it. Fix society. Please.

[Haley Wohler:] Source: L Y B I O . N E T
That's so bad, if you [make]s fun of someone just for who they love, that's like saying: oh you're a girl, I'm going to make fun of you, that's so stupid. If you "kid" someone to the point where they want to – don't want to be on the earth anymore – I don't know what to tell you because that's just so awful, and I'm going to speak much about it because if I do I'll just get so worked up and mad and so I hope you guys think about this and like, I don't know, just reminisce on it so sorry for the more serious video this week but I'll see you guys later, bye.

The social aspect being discussed here relates to the relationship part of the consumer-to-consumer business model. There has been tremendous success with businesses applying this C2C model. This has seen not only the rise of network marketing companies today, but also other businesses such as Airbnb, Amazon, Alibaba, eBay, etc. The C2C is a business model that facilitates commerce between private individuals. The model helps customers benefit from the distribution of products, and also easily find products that may otherwise be difficult to locate.
Network marketing is based on simple mouth-to-mouth recommendation of products and services. Distribution moves directly from the producer to the consumer. The consumer in turn moves the product to other consumers. Therefore, if you are in network marketing, you are operating in the C2C business model. You can as well learn more about it on the internet. For the purposes of this post, I shall only discuss the social aspect that is part of this business model.
Many a time, distributors forget the NET part in network marketing. A net is simply a group that is for the purpose of attaining a common goal. In fishing, the net is comprised of different wires so as to collect fish in huge amounts. Network marketing companies are a network of people with similar goals for example the sale of a certain product. C2C business models are at times referred to as relationship marketing opportunities. They involve building a net of people. Without the social aspect, they cannot survive. As a network marketer, how do you currently rate your relationship skills? How do you use social media platforms? Do you socialize with others there? Or you present your business opportunity to them on your Facebook wall?
Let's talk events too. Attending events in network marketing is working on the social aspect involved in your business. It's absolutely impossible for one to make it in this C2C without occasionally interacting with other network marketers. It doesn't matter whether it's a network marketing event or simply a get-together with a few friends and family. If you are in network marketing, you have to be there. Being a loner in network marketing is a sure way to fail. It's going alone at a team sport. Often, the spark most people experienced in network marketing was at an event they attended. No man is an island. You must be social if you want to be among the top earners in network marketing.
I've just cited some of the reasons why being social will give you the kind of results you desire on your journey in network marketing. You must respect social media rules. It's wise to interact in a way that will make others curious about your lifestyle. Giving loads of information about your company on your Facebook wall will only alienate you. Let people see you in your profile picture; not some product telling them that unless they use it, they won't make it past 50. Making others curious about your lifestyle will cause them to write to you privately. From there, you can make a rendezvous to show them more about what has caused the change in your lifestyle.
In conclusion, keep the business simple. Always be social. Use social platforms to get others' contact details. If you've been in the industry for some time, you know how important the atmosphere in which you show your business is. It all plays part in getting your prospect to see the opportunity. Making presentations in the wrong places will cost you millions of dollars. Let fun places remain for fun. Do the business presentations in the right places with the right tools. Good luck!

In case anyone wants to accuse me of plagiarism, I borrowed the term, "Rant!", from Rick Mercer.
Dear Don Newman, chief political and special events broadcaster, CBC News:
The indefinite article, "a", regardless of how George Bush says it, is NOT pronounced "a" as in "hay" or "eh" as in "Canadian, eh!". It is pronounced "a" as in "bad".
The word "about" is not pronounced "Eh-bout", regardless of how Canadian you are.
Trying to emphasize a word by mispronouncing the "a" before it, such as in "eh dummy" or "eh moron" is incorrect and unacceptable.
Dear newscasters, radio hosts, news readers and all other professional voices:
Read the above and take it to heart.
How many times do I have to point out the mistake below?
If you do not know what it is, go watch television.

- Matcha Bowl measures H: 3.15" Diameter: 4.7"
- NOT Dishwasher Safe
- Made in Japan
The Japanese Tea Ceremony was the reason that this matcha bowl was created, and it has been hand painted with the much appreciated heritage Kutani 'Hanazume' (Paved Flower) design. The gold leaf outlines the pattern, and auspicious and fortunate glowers such as chrysanthemums and peonies. This painting style is a brilliant representation of the Kuntai style, and it is only created by using a very delicate painting style. It will take a person more than a decade to reach the skill required to paint this design.
Kutani Ware
Kutani ware is a style of Japanese porcelain first established by Goto Saijiro after the mid-seventeenth century. Production of Kutani ware ceased at the end of the 17th century, but commenced again in the 19th century. The porcelain style is known for five colors: red, yellow, green, purple and navy, which are used to paint over dynamic line drawings.

the first 12 were miller covers then, i think, then bill sienkiewicz took over for the next 12. they appear to have recycled them (albeit cropped a bit and reduced) for the GN covers. i think there were only 43 or so of those old issues. i have the first 12 and was worried that i'd've already read the first 3 or 4 GN's worth of stories but the old issues seem to have been chosen quite randomly (based on story length? nudity?)

― Koogy Yonderboy (koogs), Wednesday, 23 August 2006 13:12 (fourteen years ago) link
The main character from "Samurai Excecutioner" is killed by Lone Wolf, so the series predates LW&C.
Also, roffle:
Path of the Assassin, called Hanzo no Mon in Japan, is the story of Hattori Hanzo, the fabled master ninja whose duty it was to protect Tokugawa Ieyasu. Ieyasu was the shogun who would unite Japan into one great nation. But before he could do that, he had to grow up and learn how to love the ladies!

I think most of jpop critical theory is focused on tentacles. Rape isn't particularly jpop-specific. I mean, even Uncle Buck has rape.
― Philip Nunez, Monday, 26 January 2009 18:59 (eleven years ago) link
Well, western popcult has rape, and even comedy rape (though this is a bit more frowned upon, unless of course it's prison rape, which is seen as a bag of roffles), but heroic rape seems specifically a japanese thing from what I know.
― Daniel_Rf, Monday, 26 January 2009 20:35 (eleven years ago) link
Did Lone Wolf rape? I thought the scenario was, "hump this lady for our amusement or we kill you both." frat hazing style.
A recent episode of Mad Men had Don Draper performing borderline hero-rape to save a potato chip account, I think.But yeah I don't remember Wolverine or Plastic Man doing any hero-raping.
What about that inksplot dude from Watchmen?
― Philip Nunez, Monday, 26 January 2009 22:26 (eleven years ago) link
Oh, no, I don't think there's anything like that in Lone Wolf, or even Samurai Executioner. Lady Snowblood forces a couple to have sex, which is close, but mostly what I've seen of Koike's tendency towards this is the Hanzo movies and that description of Wounded Man up above. There's other examples of this (Rapeman, for one!), though I'll admit I'm not well versed enough in magna to judge how common it is.
― Daniel_Rf, Tuesday, 27 January 2009 04:25 (eleven years ago) link
That Lone Wolf story did strike me as incredibly weird, though it wasn't the same as what's being talked about here in Wounded Man, since both participants were being forced into sex by thugs for their amusement. It had a really strange resolution though - one of the hostages who was forced to watch said something like "How could he do that?" (referring to the Lone Wolf) and the woman defends him, saying something to the effect of "He's a real man, that he could keep it up while our lives were being threatened!"
But I suppose it certainly fits into the definition of "hero rape". Oh, that Koike.
― Nhex, Tuesday, 27 January 2009 04:42 (eleven years ago) link
I do agree that rape and general sexual harassment seems to be more common and treated more lightly in male-oriented manga and anime than in Western comics. I have no proper explanation for it, except maybe just that Japan seems to be more patriarchal and male-dominated than most Western societies? Now that a lot of female-oriented manga has been translated to Western languages too, it might be interesting to compare how these issues are dealt in them. I haven't read much of that stuff myself though.
― Tuomas, Tuesday, 27 January 2009 11:34 (eleven years ago) link
The irony is that Japanese manga seems to have a much larger female presence (aimed material, readers and creators) compared to Western comics... it's one of the bigger reasons manga has taken off in the last decade in the US.
― Nhex, Tuesday, 27 January 2009 13:25 (eleven years ago) link
Yeah, but I don't think that that female presence has all that much to do with Koike-type stuff.
― Daniel_Rf, Tuesday, 27 January 2009 14:57 (eleven years ago) link
^ The Koike stuff isn't being read by the FRUITS BASKET crowd, as a rule.
I need to start catching up on LONE WOLF. Those books are gonna break me one day. "Sure, what's another ten bucks?"
― Matt M., Tuesday, 27 January 2009 16:36 (eleven years ago) link
Of course they're not read by the same group, but I find it interesting that you get those kinds of extremes in their comics.
I think I got up to Volume 10 of Lone Wolf and Cub before realizing I'd have to shell out another.. $200? ...to get to the end of the story (and this was before they finished putting them out), so right now those books are sitting on my shelf begging to be completed in another lifetime...
― Nhex, Tuesday, 27 January 2009 19:23 (eleven years ago) link
Doesn't James Bond as a rule hero-rape? I'm not convinced Koike is exhibiting culturally specific chauvinism unless the scenario involves subway groping or live-in house prostitutes, some phenomenon that is characteristically Japanese.
In the Jonathan Ross interview, Koike goes yes definitely Lone Wolf & Cub and his golf habits are deliberate attempts to revive a specific bygone national warrior spirit, but the hero-rape stuff seems more in the realm of generic myth-making, and even so, it's all reflective on an older-generation dude's romanticization of something rather than something mirroring current society. There's a genre of confessional manga for that kind of stuff.
― Philip Nunez, Tuesday, 27 January 2009 20:24 (eleven years ago) link
Of course they're not read by the same group, but I find it interesting that you get those kinds of extremes in their comics.
Just imagine if the same comics culture could produce extremes like Little Dot and The Checkered Demon! That would be amazing and reveal so much about "their" society!

More about what's popular in comics culture than society, smart guy. But fine, your cherry-picking of obscure examples has made my point completely invalid! I am humbled.
― Nhex, Wednesday, 28 January 2009 02:26 (eleven years ago) link
Ah, no worries, I'm sure those two obscure examples selling mere hundreds of thousands of copies each say plenty about "your" comics culture - forget about society.
― Shakir Mo Collia (sic), Wednesday, 28 January 2009 09:48 (eleven years ago) link
Philip, no idea on James Bond, though I don't find it especially hard to believe. I suppose there's a fair amount of (ho ho ho, now we're really getting into crit-theory wank) codified heroic rape in western popcult, and what's shocking to western viewers is that in japanese popcult it's so up-front? I mean for Hanzo the Razor it's basically his superpower, and you don't get much more explicit than calling a protagonist RAPEMAN. I realise it might be disingenious of me to reach for theories here when basically all I have is three examples, two of which are by the same author and the third from a completley diferent period and genre than the other two, but...I do think that the western *perception* of this exists at least, it'd be nice to read some debunking of it if it's bullshit.
That Jonathan Ross thing is like the only YouTube footage of Koike, which makes me sad.
― Daniel_Rf, Wednesday, 28 January 2009 13:14 (eleven years ago) link
ha, from a david mitchell interview:
Did you watch a lot of Kurosawa films?
Some, yes. Actually, it would be manga, though. There's an absolutely wonderful series of stories called Lone Wolf and Cub. It's about 100 years earlier than my period. Visually, you get the interiors that no amount of scholarly research can give. What authenticity my book might be able to boast owes a great debt to Lone Wolf and Cub. You really should check them out. They really are special—though there's a necessary quota of what we might think of as something close to soft-core porn.

Also interesting that he said that he written it for an audience that doesn't exist anymore.
I've hesitated on Lone Wolf & Cub and Samurai Executioner because the artwork is flipped but those big omnibuses look convenient and I'm very intrigued by the sheer acclaim.
The newer stories of Lone Wolf & Cub has a different but quite impressive artist and the art is unflipped.
Did Koike ever have gay sex in his comics? I was once surprised to find that manly Japanese comics of the 60s-70s sometimes featured the male heroes buggering and fisting each other.
― Robert Adam Gilmour, Friday, 1 June 2018 21:14 (two years ago) link
Searching for The Starving Man without adding manga brings you straight to Altrinchams finest takeaway.
Don't remember any gay sex in LW&C but I didn't read the whole thing (the format of manga keeps me from going all out as much as anything else - look very weird filed next to my European os US comics and I don't feel commited enough to give 'em their own shelf), I remember what I did read was highly enjoyable adventure stuff. Samurai Executioner just felt like the same thing with the sadism turned up and, as mentioned upthread, rapeyness.

Sent to the KFS-Update mailing list on May 7, 2018
The end of fiscal year 2017/18 is fast approaching, and Central Office financial staff are hard at work preparing for the upcoming fiscal close. We expect the closing process to be relatively routine for campus this year, but we are still testing and developing some year-end features in the recently upgraded KFS 7.
The Accounting team is currently drafting the campus closing letter with specific cutoff dates and instructions. To complement this effort, we are requesting that our partners in the departments also begin preparing for fiscal year-end close.
What you can do to Prepare
This year's fiscal closing process will follow the same general timeline as the previous year's schedule. For the campus at large, closing procedures will be completed with the June (Period 12) Ledgers on July 18 (Wednesday). Click here for information about UCI's fiscal periods. In preparation of fiscal year-end close it is recommended that the following actions be taken in each campus department:
- Continue to promptly validate and reconcile your monthly ledgers.
- Continue to promptly address your KFS Action List, and ensure your unit has back-up Secondary Delegate Approvers.
- Finalize all new and edited Sub-Object Codes by May 13 to have the Sub-Objects Codes automatically included in the next Fiscal Year. (All Sub-Object Codes finalized after May 13 will have to be manually re-created for Fiscal Year 2019).
- Thoroughly review and resolve all open encumbrances that should be closed.
- Review KFS accounts provided to campus recharge providers for recurring charges to ensure accuracy and to minimize adjustments/corrections.
- Thoroughly review the May (Period 11) ledgers and make all necessary adjustments. If transactions are not on the ledgers, research them and make sure that they will be processed in time to appear on the June (Period 12) ledgers.
- Consider Period 12 Ledgers to be your Interim Ledger. Departmental adjustments cannot be processed after this ledger is closed on July 18.
- Cutoff dates for processing all financial transactions, accruals/deferrals, and budget transactions for June (Period 12) will be communicated in the Fiscal Year-End Closing letter and at the Closing Workshops.
- It is necessary that all income budgets, including recharge, on all Control Accounts align with actuals at year end for a variance of zero; and that expenditure activities are solvent. To help manage this, please review the Organization Account Status report. This report is intended to be a "quick glance" overview of accounts and funds that are not solvent, and income that needs to be budgeted.
- "After July 14" adjustments (aka, Period 13) should be kept to a minimum. The Accounting team recommends that your unit now review and assess how fiscal year-end closing cutoff dates can be successfully achieved. Please consult with your local Financial Management or MAABO now for any assistance in positioning your unit to accomplish the fiscal year-end cutoff schedule.
The campus fiscal year-end closing letter that addresses specific cutoff dates and other actions will be sent this month. Please do not hesitate to contact the KFS Helpdesk if there are circumstances or conditions that need to be addressed to ensure your unit's successful fiscal year-end close. Your attention, cooperation, and patience in accomplishing the many tasks associated with achieving a successful 2017/18 Fiscal Year-End Close are sincerely appreciated.

The Best Pushup Exercise for Your BICEPS!
Posted on April 07 2019
Today, I want to share with you the only push-up exercise that I found that actually works your biceps. We all know the push-up exercise is primarily dominant a chest exercise and a tricep exercise. What about if you don't have a pull-up bar at home, or really no pull-up fixture to actually do chin-ups or pull-ups on. This exercise should help you with a little bicep work if you don't have that option yet. You might notice that this is actually very difficult. It is a hard exercise. It is pretty intense. You might have to work on it. BUT if you do this, you should feel your biceps actually working for you. I haven't found a pushup exercise that actually gives me that bicep pump like the way this does.
Hope you Enjoy ...

We hear people on the right yelling "class war" with a boring regularity. Those of us who have been paying attention are inclined to believe the class war is over, and that the working and middle classes have lost.
There still are plenty of warriors out there, though, often quite well armed. There are hunters, rifle clubs, militias, street gangs, and no shortage of individual angry paranoids — many with combat experience. They could stir up some extremely severe civil unrest if they got it into their heads to just start shooting in a concerted way, but except for the drug gangs shooting each other and some of the paranoids shooting their families, co-workers, and the occasional abortion provider, things are unnaturally quiet.
To a large extent, the liberals have to take the blame. They have perpetuated the ridiculous belief that we can get what we want and need by voting, and that shooting our corporatist oppressors and their toadies is just not done. The ones most likely to shoot anyone for political and economic reasons don't even have a clue whom they should be shooting, and dream about taking potshots at immigrants and Democrats.
Okay, some Democrats might deserve it, but not for the reasons their assassins would have in mind.
The main thing that keeps a perfectly justifiable class war from happening is that there's nobody left to tell the people with the guns who they ought to be shooting. They won't get it from their corporatist media, their corporatist drug cartels, nor their supremely corporatist NRA. Organized labor — what remains of it — has been co-opted. "Progressive" campus groups were suckered into working for corporatist Obama, and now they've gone back to their keggers.
The so-called "left" has fragmented into feminists, environmentalists, "free speech" advocates, gay rights activists, anti-war activists, immigration reformers, and scores of other single-issue ax-grinders, incapable of recognizing that their common enemy is world corporatism — and that fascism, over six decades after World War II, has triumphed. The other problem with the "left" is that they're liberals, and "don't believe in violence." Where are the goddamned Communists when you need them? Is everybody who owns a gun and understands that "the man" is not his friend in prison on drug charges?
Oddly enough, I think the best chance for class warfare might be in China. New to capitalism, their elites haven't learned to hide their corruption as well as ours do.

Lots of good, not so funny answers.
But no. Know that the slow movement of evolution is a miserable climb for the advanced guard. There is some consolation for the enlightened, perhaps we can hope for
reincarnation. Oh lets say in a million or so years when the new man is smiling benevolently on a fruitful world.

D-Day veteran goes back to the beach
Vernon Miller knows about being in a heap of trouble.
When he was 5, he earned his nickname and a few swats after taking a swig of his father's moonshine.
And the day before his 18th birthday, he took part in a global heap of trouble, history's biggest seaborne invasion, the World War II battle known as D-Day.
On that deadly day, the Ohio-born seaman known as "Moon" manned a 3-inch, 50 mm gun on the main deck of the USS Cincinnati. The light cruiser, part of an armada of 9,939 vessels, shelled German positions on the cliffs of Normandy while the enemy rained its deadly firepower on the American troops storming a 5-mile patch of blood-soaked sand code-named Omaha Beach.
Friday, 70 years to the day later, the 87-year-old Huber Heights man – still known to one and all as "just plain old Moon" – will do something he never did on D-Day: He will stand on the beach, watch the tide roll in and think about the thousands of lives that washed out to sea on that cloudy June 6, 1944, day.
Before leaving for what he swore would be an unsentimental journey to a beach he shelled but never set foot on, the affable old Navy salt talked with great relish about his time aboard the USS Cincinnati during D-Day.
Before he got started, he leaned forward in his chair and jabbed the air with both index fingers.
"Let's get one thing straight," he began.
"I'm no hero. The guys who didn't come back are heroes. I'm just a proud individual."
Omaha Beach and the ordeal of D-Day have never been far from him.
"I keep two vials of sand from the beach in my drawer in the kitchen," he said. He sprang from his chair with the power that takes him to his daily workout at the local YMCA.
"Some guys," he called from the kitchen as he found the vials of gray sand, "brought them back for me after we came back from the war."
The retired pipe fitter and plumber laughed and softly repeated the words "came back from the war."
He never thought he would make it home alive. He was a realist.
"Guys my age didn't give a hoot about what happened to us," he said. "We weren't married. We enlisted. Lots of us quit school. Everyone we knew was in the war.
"So we had no fear. We did our job. But we didn't expect to make it."
He never dreamed he would live to see 21, much less 87. (Moon turns 88 on Saturday.)
"That's why I never took out a veteran's insurance policy," he said. "The thing would have been paid up by the time I was 35."
But he figured he would have been dead for 14 years by then.
"Sounds foolish, I know," he admitted. "But we were just young and ready to go get 'em."
He'd have his chance. So would the other 195,000 naval personnel who took part in D-Day along with 200,000 soldiers on both sides.
Moon's route to D-Day began when he quit school at 15. He worked for a year at a machine shop and then enlisted in the Navy. He was shipped off to boot camp and then sent first by train and next by bus to serve aboard a warship set to leave the Navy base in Norfolk, Virginia.
Before he left the bus, "an officer came on and said: 'I need 100 men.' I was one of the 100. We took that same bus down to Miami and went on the USS Cincinnati."
He already had fond memories of Cincinnati, the city. His mom's family was from Lexington. His dad hailed from Jellico, Tennessee. When they left home in North Dayton, where his father worked as a carpenter, to visit relatives, "we went through Cincinnati, the big city."
Moon first boarded the USS Cincinnati in late 1943. By then, the ship had been in service for 19 years.
"We loaded all of the ammunition by carrying it on our backs into the ship," he recalled. He grabbed his shoulder as if he were feeling the pain from loading the 2-foot-long shells that were fired from the gun he manned on the starboard side of the Cincinnati's main deck.
In May 1944, the Cincinnati left the States to lead a convoy across the Atlantic. No one told the crew about the coming invasion of Europe.
No one had to.
"We had a rear admiral on board," he recalled. "We usually just had a captain. So something was up."
After being diverted to Gibraltar for repairs, the Cincinnati caught up with the convoy in Belfast's harbor.
The battle began at 6:30 a.m. June 6. Moon remembered the Cincinnati floating 1,000 yards offshore. Shells from the cruiser's 6-inch guns "were good for at least 4 miles." Those from the gun he manned "could land about a mile inland."
He chose one word to describe what he saw, felt, heard and smelled that day:
When the Cincinnati's 6-inch guns fired, the old ship rolled 2 feet out of the water.
His 3-inch gun "gave off a real sharp sound, like you were right next to a rifle, only it was 40 times louder. We had no earmuffs. We tried putting cotton in our ears. But that didn't do any good."
To this day, the word "D-Day" makes him taste "the smoke from all of the gunpowder and the smell of the hot brass from the shell casings."
As the ship shelled the Germans, the Cincinnati's crew knew what was happening on the beach.
"Things were not going well on Omaha Beach," he said. "We were losing men faster than we could land them."
He said this in a steady voice, no hint of emotion. He said he would feel the same way, "and not get all sentimental," when he returned to the scene of D-Day, 70 years removed from the battle of June 6, 1944. ■

FRename3 is a very simple editor-driven file rename plugin. It is based on the original FRename for FAR1 by Jouri Mamaev, which I used quite a lot but which became more and more problematic with the coming of FAR 2 and 3. FRename3 is a reimplementation of FRename in Delphi, with full support for both FAR 2 and 3, 32bit and 64bit, and here and there some improvements which I found useful - for example, it adds a few hotkeys to the editor, allowing you to select the target filenames or to jump to the beginning of a target filename.
Plugin in action:

Version 2.00 Changelog
- Rewritten the plugin to the new framework for FAR plugins. This will enable far easier maintenance in the future.
- PluginCall support for LuaMacro. Examples of use can be found in FRename3.lua.
- Russian translation by bigvax and HaRT.
- Option to display a short description rather than the usual long help. You can reduce the text even more by leaving only an empty string for it in the language file.
- Option to select the renamed files (instead of the default behavior or keeping the non-renamed files selected). Note that this will be quite slow, particularly with slow drives and/or huge directories.
- Start with the cursor at the destination filename (as if ALT+F1 were pressed right after opening of the editor).
- If an error occurs during the renaming, the filelist will be displayed again - but in this version it will only contain the failed files. In previous version, the list would contain even the files which were renamed correctly.
- If ESCAPE is pressed inside of the "failed to rename" dialog, the renaming process will stop immediately. In the previous versions, it would continue and the failed files would be once again shown in an editor, making it difficult to stop renaming.
- Refresh the panel automatically after the renaming was finished.
- Fixed a bug with renaming a file containing a Unicode character which does not fit into 16 bits (e.g. 0x1F920).

MONTREAL — The Transportation Safety Board of Canada is suggesting periodic inspections of emergency locator transmitters after finding a defect in the one aboard a helicopter that crashed in Quebec last summer, killing a businessman and his son.
An advisory letter released today says after taking a closer look at the switch, the TSB found the locking latches between the "Off" and "Arm" positions were broken, allowing the switch to flip freely between the two.

TSB finds defect in beacon on helicopter that crashed in Quebec, killing two Back to video
Stephane Roy and his 14-year-old son Justin were reported missing on July 11 after failing to return home from a fishing trip in Lac de la Bidiere, a remote lake about 250 kilometres north of Montreal.
Their bodies were found two weeks later, after the crashed chopper was spotted around Lac Valtrie, just south of Lac de la Bidiere.
In August, the board noted the ELT on Roy's Robinson R-44 helicopter was functional but in the "Off" position.
Investigators subsequently performed impact tests that showed the switch flipped to "Off" with minimal impact force.
The TSB report says an inspection of the helicopter on April 1, 2019, did not detect the problem.
Roy was the founder and owner of Les Serres Sagami, which produces greenhouse-grown tomatoes under the Savoura brand.
This report by The Canadian Press was first published Feb. 13, 2020.

Korea and China Tourism Offices Launch Joint Marketing Campaign
Destination & Tourism James Ruggia September 30, 2011
The China National Tourism Office (CNTO) and Korean Tourism Organization (KTO) launched a joint consumer travel marketing campaign for the U.S. market. The campaign is built around a website — www.visitchinaandkorea.com— featuring vacation packages to both China and Korea. The website is being promoted through an extensive campaign of both banner and search engine advertising. The objective of the joint marketing campaign is to raise awareness of travel to China and Korea, as well as to promote U.S. outbound travel bookings to China and Korea by driving traffic to tour packages featuring both countries. The campaign began this month and will run through December. The new website features a range of itineraries from experienced tour operators.
"By working with our supplier partners to develop these exciting and appealing tour packages, we will be able to provide diverse choices for travel consumers looking to discover the true magic and meaning that make up China and Korea," said Xinhong Zhang, director of the China National Tourist Office in New York. "The travel marketplace is ultra-competitive. It is no longer enough to fly to one destination in a region, even to China. We must make it as easy as possible for tourists to come and discover China and Korea, and begin to see what these two countries have to offer for a complete vacation experience."
