13 August 2015
Financial crisis 2008/2009 followed by sovereign debt crisis, triggered radical transformations in the world financial markets: regulatory requirements imposed upon banks have increased emphasis on consumer protection, efforts to prevent tax evasion have already resulted in adopting FATCA and automatic exchange of information on financial accounts.
Swiss banks are successfully adopting their strategies to the new environment: althought the number of banks is decreasing (in 2014, 1 new bank was opened while 8 banks closed), the total annual profit of all the banks in 2014 increased by 2.3 bln CHF (compared to 2013) to 14.2 bln CHF, the aggregate total assets for all banks in Switzerland rose by 331.2 bln CHF (9.8%) to 3,705.3 CHF bln.
During the past three years, the number of banks operating in Switzerland has been declining: each year the number of closed banks prevailed the number of newly opened banks. In 2014 there were 282 banks operating in Switzerland. The majority of the banks closing down their business in Switzerland are branches of foreign banks and foreign-controlled banks.
Despite the decreasing number of banks, consolidated total assets of the banks are gradually growing: in 2014 the total assets recovered to its pre-crisis level. The increase was primarily attributable to foreign balance sheet items. Alongside the big banks, the foreign-controlled banks also expanded their foreign business. Domestic mortgage loans (making up roughly 30% of the aggregated total assets), continued to rise in 2014, growing by 31.0 bln CHF (3.6%) to 900.9 bln CHF.
In 2014, customer deposits continued to increase: since 2008, customer deposits in savings or deposits accounts have grown by more than 6% each year. In 2014, the increase was mainly attributable to domestic deposits.
Banque du Léman, the only newly opened bank in Switzerland in 2014, is a 100% subsidiary of Caisse d'Epargne Rhône-Alpes, which is part of Groupe BPCE (Banque Populaire and Caisse d'Epargne). The bank is specializing in retail banking for Swiss residents.
In 2014 two cantonal banks decided to step out from foreign asset management and to focus on the domestic market: Aargauische Kantonalbank and St. Galler Kantonalbank.
AKB Privatbank Zürich, a subsidiary of Aargauische Kantonalbank, mainly involved in asset management in the EU area, was taken over by Privatbank IHAG Zürich AG on 23 November 2013. Aargauische Kantonalbank decided to focus primarily on their traditional economic territory.
St. Galler Kantonalbank, announced on June 23, 2013 that it would strengthen its core business and would focus on the domestic market in Eastern Switzerland and the markets rest of Switzerland and Germany. It hence was decided to divest from Hyposwiss Private Bank Geneva SA and Hyposwiss Private Bank AG. In 2014, Hyposwiss Private Bank Geneva SA was sold to Mirelis InvesTrust SA while Hyposwiss Private Bank AG ceased its operations.
Standard Chartered Bank (Switzerland) SA was closed after failing to attract a buyer. Selling the bank involved mainly in wealth management activities was planned by Standard Chartered Group to shed non-core businesses and to focus on Asia, Africa and the Middle East.
Bank Gutenberg on September 24, 2014 signed a settlement agreement with British Columbia Securities Commission (BCSC), admitting that the bank traded securities on behalf of British Columbia residents, contrary to the legal requirement to be registered. The bank agreed to pay $850,000 to BCSC. Bank Gutenberg then ceased its operations.
Banque Privée Espirito Santo SA on September 19, 2014 was declared bankrupt by FINMA after its parent bank, Banco Espírito Santo SA (Portugal) collapsed in August 2014.
Centrum Bank (Schweiz) AG voluntary returned its banking licence in mid-2014 to consolidate its activities at the parent bank in Liechtenstein (Centrum Bank AG). On 7 January 2015 all shares of Centrum Bank AG (Liechtensteim) were acquired by VP Bank AG.
LLB Group announced in March 2013 that it would close its Swiss banking subsidiary LLB (Switzerland) Ltd in the context of the new strategy and economic considerations. LLB (Switzerland) Ltd. terminated its banking activities effective as of the end of 2013. The bank was closed according to the new strategy "Focus2015" to reduce costs and complexity of the group.
Sparkasse Engelberg was taken over by Sparkasse Schwyz to form the largest regional bank Central Switzerland.

|[[quoteright:450:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/56eccd7de5147203ba344a8bd99b7486.png]]²²''Story of Seasons'' is a 2014-2015 installment in the ''[[VideoGame/HarvestMoon Bokujō Monogatari]]'' franchise for the UsefulNotes/Nintendo3DS, developed by Marvelous and localized by Creator/XSEEDGames. Due to former localization company Creator/{{Natsume}} owning the trademark for the ''Harvest Moon'' brand, ''Story of Seasons'' is the new international title outside of Japan from now on.²²As with most Harvest Moon games, the story begins with your character moving to a farm to start a new life. Or as the instructions put it:²²--> "One cold winter day, as you were going about your daily routine, you discovered an unassuming pamphlet in your mailbox:²--->'' '''NEW FARMERS WANTED!'''\²Join us and help Oak Tree Town grow as you work the land!''²-->It seemed so different -- a world apart from the life you'd been living. But at the same time, it held the promise of being just what you needed to shake up your life and find the direction you'd been looking for.\²That same day, you wrote up an application and submitted it to the address on the back of the pamphlet -- a small hamlet called Oak Tree Town.\²One week later, you received a letter of congratulations. It turned out you had been selected as Oak Tree Town's newest up-and-coming farmer!\²As you packed your things that day and arranged travel to Oak Tree Town, you felt the buzz of excitement at the opportunity you'd been given. You don't know what awaits you out in the countryside, but you can't wait to find out!"²²You have your work cut out for you when you arrive: your home is a disused shack in need of repairs, your field is full of rocks and overgrown trees, and the town's economy has all but dried up due to lack of trade. You'll have to farm, fish, forage, and develop your land if you want to revitalize local trade. But you'll also have to develop your relationships with the townsfolk (and the magical beings who have taken up residence near your farm) if you want to truly bring the town back to life. You may even discover the spark of romance with one of the villagers!²²Along the way you can customize your avatar, renovate your home, and decorate parts of town. You'll raise crops, take care of animals, and explore the charming world of Oak Tree Town. Complete challenges for the visiting merchants, participate in festivals, win cooking and fashion contests -- show the world that you've got what it takes to be the best farmer.²²Followed in 2016-2017 by ''VideoGame/StoryOfSeasonsTrioOfTowns''.²²----²!!This game provides examples of:²²[[foldercontrol]]²²[[folder:# to C]]²²* HundredPercentCompletion: The 'Trophies' option on the bookshelf in your farmhouse allows you to keep track of this. There are dozens of trophies to unlock. In order to achieve them all, you will need to keep your farm going for at least ''thirty years'' (in game).²* ArtificialStupidity: If you talk to an NPC in another characters walkway, they'll always try walking through the NPC for a couple of seconds before going around²* AntiPoopSocking: If you talk to talk to Kamil while wearing glasses, he might [[LeaningOnTheFourthWall lean on the fourth wall]] and say this:²--->'''Hmm, do you need those glasses, though? If so, you shouldn't play video games so much. Take a break once every hour.²* AcceptableBreaksFromReality: Crops growing faster than they do in real life, starting up a farm just because you're bored and being successful, [[NotAllowedToGrowUp almost no one aging]]... Yeah.²** Veronica blatantly [[BreakingTheFourthWall telling the player how street pass works]].²* AffectionateNickname:²** Once you confirm a romance with another character by the giving of a promise ring, you can select a pet name for him or her to call you. You can continue with the same name or change it after your wedding.²** In the non-romantic vein, Fritz fondly addresses Madam Eda as "Granny" despite not being her grandson.²* AmericansAreCowboys: Wheat Country has natives dressed as cowboys and a blue and red rug with white stars on it as part of its stand. The merchant talks with a stereotypical [[UsefulNotes/AmericanAccents Dixie Accent]]²* AntiFrustrationFeatures:²** Tilling the ground to plant crops has you till it in a 3x3 square. Watering, fertilizing, and harvesting also work on the same 3x3 square mechanic, meaning that you can work more crops more quickly.²** The watering can ''finally'' has an on-screen meter to show how full it is. In the same vein, a meter appears and fills up while milking dairy-producing livestock.²** Once you acquire a horse, you can ride it ''anywhere''. This is very helpful for getting to and from the specialty crop fields without knocking down your stamina.²** Seedling Mode is this in a nutshell. The stamina cost of using tools is halved, all products that you can buy cost 30% less, and the number of products you need to sell in order to unlock the last two Trade Depot vendors are reduced by 30%.²** Previous games had fruit tree seedlings for sale only on the season during which the tree usually bears fruit. Due to the time trees take to grow (at least one season), that made players unable to have any kind of fruit before the year following the one during which the seedling became available. In this one, the seedlings can be purchased outside of their tree's flowering season, which allows the player to get fruit as early as the first summer instead of having to wait for the second spring to get fruit from a tree purchased three seasons ago.²* ArabianNightsDays: The little we see of Silk Country makes it look like that sort of setting. The cart is pulled in by an elephant, the merchant's skin tone is expected from a middle east native, and the stand is gold with dashes of bright colors. Additionally, the ''Streets of the World'' feature on Silk Country paints a picture of a city with both outdoor bazaars lined with a variety of stalls and a huge indoor market with many types of shops.²* ButThouMust: During any of the tutorial events, you can't leave the area until you finish doing whatever Eda (or anyone else who might be teaching you) has instructed you to do.²* CallToAgriculture: According to the game book, you were living a perfectly satisfactory life in the big city when you learned about the vacancy in Oak Tree Town, and jumped at it.²* CallingYourBathroomBreaks: Once you upgrade your house, it includes a bathroom where you can optionally use the toilet or take a bath. In either case, your character will comment on the action, but at no time is it ever required to do either; it's a purely cosmetic addition to the house.²* TheCatCameBack: Once you acquire a horse, it becomes a living ClingyMacGuffin. It ''constantly'' wants to be near you. This is handy in some respects, as it makes the creature difficult to lose, but it can be downright annoying when trying to attend to other livestock in the same barn.²* CheapGoldCoins: The standard of currency in Oak Tree Town. Purchases and sales are measured in G, for gold. By contrast, the three kinds of coins (shiny, old, and regular) you can find while fishing or foraging are ''not'' good as currency, and can in fact be sold for gold.²* CherryBlossoms: During the [[SeasonalBaggage month of Spring]], cherry petals will occasionally blow across the screen.²* CommonplaceRare:²** In the beginning, bricks can be this. Until you unlock the vendor who sells them, acquiring them is a LuckBasedMission.²** Inverted with precious gems, which are comparatively easy to find by diving. Once you unlock Agate and start visiting the Safari Park, with its free public mine, becoming wealthy through the acquisition and sale of gems and ores is a no-brainer. But you'll still need the bricks to upgrade your house.²* CompetitionFreak: Elise and Giorgio both seem to be this, judging by their reactions to the beginning of the Land Conquest competition between the farmers.²* ConflictBall: The two older love interests have these with their flower events.²** Klaus's final flower event has you reacting badly to seeing him and Iris together, despite them always being together and you never having a problem with it until now.[[note]]This is explained in-game as Iris having noticed you enter the room, and deliberately ignoring you, trying to make you jealous and thus goading Klaus into confirming his love. It still seems a bit weird, especially since from the player's perspective nothing out of the ordinary has taken place.[[/note]]²** Iris' final flower event has you visit her and Iris blurting out that she wants to break up with you, because [[IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy she thinks you are wonderful and would be happier with someone else]]. Whatever your answer is, Iris admits that she wasn't being serious. She was merely acting out a scene for her latest novel, trying to get rid of some writer's block.²²²[[/folder]]²²[[folder:D to H]]²* DamnYouMuscleMemory: A minor example. Although your entire inventory can be accessed by pressing X or touching the icon on the touch screen, you can access a short list of your tools and seeds by pressing the right 'shoulder button' of your DS. The tools are always listed in the same order, which makes it easy to become used to pushing the up and down arrows a specific number of times to equip those tools. But if you add more tools, you can equip the wrong thing - which can be frustrating if you want to fertilize your crops and accidentally pull out a [[WarpWhistle balloon]].²* DefeatMeansFriendship: Elise has five rivalry {{scripted event}}s which you can complete as your friendship strengthens. You help her become a better farmer, and she in turn gains greater respect for you. Giorgio and Fritz, your other rivals, also have scripted events related to your friendship. Completing all of the events for each character unlocks trophies on your bookshelf.²* DialogueTree: The romance/flower events and special random events that you can trigger in the game play out as {{cutscene}}s with limited dialogue trees. Your answers don't affect the plot of the game, only your friendship level with the other characters.²* DifficultySpike: Contests become increasingly hard as years pass.²* DarkSkinnedBlonde: Nadi.²* TheDitz: In the cutscene where you first learn to fish, Otmar forgets what your name was for a second, then apologizes and says its because his "[[ImagineSpot Head was in the clouds]]"²* DubNameChange: {{Averted|Trope}}. Creator/XSEEDGames was originally going to do it, but switched it back to the translated Japanese names after listening to fan feedback. {{Inverted|Trope}} with Kamil and Licorice, the two characters returning from ''[[VideoGame/HarvestMoonTheTaleOfTwoTowns Tale of Two Towns]]'', whose names are changed back to their original Japanese names from "Cam" and "Reina".²* EquipmentUpgrade: When you first move to town, Eda gives you a hoe, a watering can, an axe, a hammer, a milker and a brush. All of these (including the sickle, fishing rod, pitchfork, and wool Clippers you buy at the general store ) are "Old Style" tools: the most stamina-depleting, inefficient tools in the game. You'll have to purchase blueprints and scavenge for materials to upgrade them to Normal Style, then Copper Style, then in sequence Silver Style, Gold Style, Master Style, Orichalcum Style, and finally Philosopher Style tools.²* EveryoneTenAndUpRating: This game's ESRB rating.²* EverythingsBetterWithSparkles:²** Using fertilizer on crops (or perfume on the beehives) creates a shower of sparkles.²** Creating an item combo on your farm while in "Edit Mode" results in the items that make up the combo giving off sparkles, accompanied by text that gives you a clue as to the combo's effects. Creating a jewelry combo while changing your character's outfit results in sparkles appearing around the accessories panel in the clothing menu.²** Giorgio has a unique character portrait surrounded by roses and sparkles when he talks about beautiful things - interacting with him after events/contests and on sunny days has about a one-in-three chance of triggering the portrait and accompanying dialogue.²** Walking and running over the dirt paths between your farm and the town results in little puffs of dirt and grass clippings kicked up behind your character. Walking over the snow in wintertime creates a trail of sparkles.²* EverythingsBetterWithSpinning: The animation for using the axe is the player character spinning wildly in place, accompanied by a "swishing" sound effect.²* FantasyCounterpartCulture: The game has stand-ins for real life countries, ²** Silk country is a middle-eastern country mixed with UsefulNotes/{{India}}. See ArabianNightsDays²** Wheat country is [[AmericansAreCowboys Cowboy]]-[[TheWildWest era]] [[UsefulNotes/UnitedStates America]]. Vendor Kenneth wears a cowboy hat and an outfit helpfully labelled "Cowboy Outfit."²--> '''Streets of the World Reporter''': -this week, we're going to Wheat Country! As the name suggests, here we are in a sea of wheat. Yep, nothing but wheat. Look, there's a field. And another field. Annnd another field. Just wheat, from horizon to horizon. Nobody else here. I don't even see any houses.²** Sakura Country is UsefulNotes/{{Japan}} [[FarEast itself]]. See FarEast.²** Cabin Country is UsefulNotes/{{Switzerland}}. See YodelLand.²** Rose Country is like a combination of UsefulNotes/{{France}} and the UsefulNotes/UnitedKingdom, with a kilt-wearing vendor who sells you wine and other luxury goods.²--> '''Streets of the World Reporter''': What do you think of when you hear "Rose Country?" Old rustic houses, cute, fashionable stores, rivers flowing everywhere, and of course, flower gardens, right?²** Ice Country appears to be UsefulNotes/{{Russia}}, or some other country bordering the arctic circle. It's a frigid landscape with sleigh rides and polar bears. The vendor Katrina wears a long, fur-lined coat and an ushanka.²--> '''Streets of the World Reporter''': Welcome to ''Streets of the World.'' Get your coats! Today, we're going to Ice Country! I'm Leela, and I'll do my best to guide you through this winter...wonderland. Now, the first thing you need to know about Ice Country: It's cold. So cold I need to get indoors right now.²** Tropical Country is... somewhere [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin tropical]]. Likely [[HulaAndLuaus Hawaii]], Tahiti, or another similar Pacific island culture. Vendor Yolanda wears a "Tropical Pareo" and sells items like banana, mango and pineapple seeds.²* FantasyMetals: Alongside the traditional platinum, gold, silver, copper, and gemstones, numerous fantasy metals can be found at the mining point. Later in the game, they can also be bought from the traders in the depot:²** {{Orichalcum}}: Necessary to create the Orichalcum Style hoe and watering can, which perform better than the platinum based "Master Style" tools but not as well as the Philosopher Style tools.²** {{Mithril}}: Treated more as a gem than as an ore, and required for crafting several high-end garden decorations and some jewelry (but not much else).²** Adamantite: Treated more as a gem than as an ore, and required for crafted some high-end garden decorations and jewelry (but not much else).²** PhilosophersStone: Treated as an ore in the game, and necessary to create the ultimate Philosopher style tools. (Essentially useless for anything besides crafting, the Philosopher's Stone can be found for free at the mining point and purchased for 777,777 G from the Ice Country vendor, but only has a resale value of 1 G.)²* FeminineWomenCanCook: When The Harvest sprites introduce themselves to Witchie, each states their name and their skill. TheChick of the Harvest Sprites, Pepita, mentions cooking as hers.²* ForgottenFallenFriend: [[spoiler:After Eda's death, nobody ever mentions her ever again.]] ²** Almost. [[spoiler:Subverted once you unlock all seven vendors. Veronica will invite you to a party in the Trade Depot, where she remarks that she wishes Madam Eda were here to see what you've accomplished. Afterwards you'll receive a letter in the mail from Eda that she wrote in advance.]]²** [[spoiler:There is also a line if dialogue with your son where he mentions the villagers told him about the old lady who taught you.]]²* FarEast: Anything you consider typically Japanese? Sakura Country probably has it. Rice, bamboo, cherry tree branches, blueprints for a chicken coop designed to look like a pagoda... Additionally, the ''Streets of the World'' feature on Sakura country begins with the host in a busy metropolitan city, but after taking the subway a little ways away she finds herself swept up in a parade filled with portable shrines and women in yukatas.²* FashionDesigner: The game has the HeroicMime protagonist make the clothes him/herself. ²* FetchQuest: An optional side activity. As the game progresses, the different vendors can post requests for specific crops, foods, fish, and other items you can grow/catch/make. There is no time limit on fulfilling a quest once you take it, and the rewards are usually pretty good.²* FishingForSole: Occasionally you'll run across a boot or a can.²* FishingMinigame: During your first summer, Otmar will give you a rod and teach you to use it. You can fish off any dock by equipping the rod.[[note]] By the time you receive it, however, you will have long since learned to jump into the water off of those same docks; you can just swim around and dive to catch fish or collect items. This is arguably easier, since a red exclamation point appears onscreen whenever you have reason to dive, ''and'' you don't need bait. It should be noted, though, that the trophies/achievements actually related to fishing can only be earned by using the fishing rod.[[/note]]²* FloralThemeNaming: Several of the love interest characters have flower or plant names. Iris and Lillie (lily) are the most obvious; Kamil's name shares its origin with the camellia flower; Mistel is German for mistletoe; and Licorice is the root of a plant which provides a sweet extract. Nadi also counts in a roundabout way, as he shares his name with a region in the very floral islands of Fiji.²* FlowerMotif: As noted elsewhere, the color of the flower on a potential love interest's speech bubble indicates the level of your friendship. Additionally, once you have confirmed a relationship with one of them, he or she adds a small white flower next to the colored one, as a symbol of their status.²* ForegoneConclusion: Players realized that [[spoiler: Eda will most likely die within the first year,]] since the game series had already [[VideoGame/HarvestMoon64 done]] [[VideoGame/HarvestMoonAWonderfulLife this]] [[VideoGame/HarvestMoonDS in the past]]. Those who never played ''Harvest Moon'' games and came into this game blind, however, were taken painfully by surprise.²* {{Foreshadowing}}: [[spoiler:In your first autumn, Eda will complain frequently about aches when it rains. She also stops traveling into town and attending festivals. If your friendship level is high enough, you have a scripted event in which she talks about getting older and how perhaps someday you'll take care of her farm. Then, when winter comes, she dies.]]²* GettingCrapPastTheRadar:²** In her {{love confession}}, Iris tells you that she has plenty of "experience" as an older woman, and can teach you much.²** If you marry Mistel, some mornings he'll tell you that you were calling his name in your sleep, coyly wondering [[EroticDream what kind of dream you were having]].²** Klaus may make a remark about "other activities" you can do at home, and invites you to come and visit if you want to know what exactly he's talking about. He also, during the second event of his romance arc, may tell you that if you keep being so sweet to all the men, you're going to get eaten by a big bad wolf on your way home one day.²** If you marry Agate, her dialogue after dinner has her suggesting taking a bath together and washing each other's backs. The implications are obvious.²* GoingThroughTheMotions: The character animations, most of which are carried over from ''VideoGame/HarvestMoonANewBeginning'', are limited and exaggerated.²* GuideDangIt:²** The Trade Depot vendors are progressively unlocked depending on [[http://www.gamefaqs.com/3ds/734977-story-of-seasons/faqs/71921?page=1 what you ship and how much of it you ship]], and the game never tells you the specifics. The first four unlocked vendors are primarily based on money made and passage of seasons,[[note]]Cabin Country: 100,000G earned from Silk Country and it's at least the first Summer; Sakura Country: 200,000G earned from Cabin Country and it's at least the first Fall; Wheat Country: 500,000G earned from all vendors collectively; Rose Country: 1,000,000G earned from all vendors collectively[[/note]] but Ice Country requires shipping hundreds of different farm decoration items, while Tropical Country requires shipping up to ''tens of thousands'' of farm-produced goods. The game also neglects to tell you that this is the primary goal of the game: NewGamePlus unlocks when you've unlocked every merchant.²** Many of the patterns you can create in your Sewing Studio require colors of "yarn+", but the game doesn't explain what "yarn+" actually is. An animal whose hair can be spun into yarn will produce "+ quality" hair once it has spent at least 100 hours grazing in the Safari Park.²** After you cut down trees on your farm, you're left with stumps, which interfere with the placement of objects and the movement of livestock. There is no hint of how to remove them; you have to hit them with your axe once or twice for an additional bit of lumber.²** There is no indication that ''jumping on fences'' gives you items. Certain areas where you can jump will have a chance of a random item drop.²** Early in the game, you can find twigs and weeds, and the latter in particular seems to be nothing more than VendorTrash. Then you get the Seed Factory and discover that they're the most inexpensive way to get fertilizer for your farm. Hoard your early foraging finds!²** Perfumes. You can make them yourself if you have the Seed Factory (in the same machine that makes fertilizer), or receive them as birthday gifts from Klaus if your friendship level is high enough. But the game doesn't clarify what they actually do; you can't use them on your avatar as you would use perfume in real life. They get fed into beehives in the same fashion that treats get fed to the livestock and pets. The different perfumes affect the honey productivity of your bees.²** Colored Flower events. To advance your romance arc with an eligible bachelor or bachelorette, you will also need to improve your friendship level with specific other villagers, with whom your chosen love interest is close in some way. For instance, if you reach the Pink Flower level with Agate, you need to advance your friendship with Lillie to the Purple Flower level in order for your romance with Agate to proceed. Melanie in particular is a linchpin for several romances - strong friendship with her is required if you want to romance Lillie, Kamil, ''or'' Nadi.²** Livestock, in one respect, are very much a GuideDangIt. No matter how diligent you are in caring for your animals, ''they will eventually die of old age in five years.'' You're given exactly one hint in the game at this--and it's a disclaimer screen that only shows up one time when you get your very first animal in your very first save. Other than that, nothing in the game will prepare you for this; if you purchased your copy of the game used, you get no warning at all.²** Jewelry: If you wear the right three pieces, you can get bonuses such as a faster swimming pace or automatic regeneration of stamina over time. [[http://fogu.com/sos1/activities/closet/accessory-combos.php Full details are at the bottom of this page]].²* HappilyMarried: Gunther and Corona, who run the carpentry shop, are this, and Veronica and Madam Eda seem to have been this with their late husbands. Should you elect to romance and marry one of the eligible characters, you become this.²* HeroicMime: [=NPCs=] can speak at length and are accompanied by [[CharacterPortrait character portraits]] when they speak. The player character is limited to communication through the wild gesticulation of their model and a few short responses from the limited [[DialogueTree dialogue trees]] found only in special events, with no character portraits. ²* HitboxDissonance: Dragonflies still suffer from this, with their catch area sometimes being vastly different than where the bug actually is on the screen.²* HumanCannonball: After purchasing the blueprint from Rose Country, you can build a cannon that launches you from your farm into town or vice versa. That being said, there's a chance that you'll land off target and end up somewhere in between.²* HyperactiveMetabolism: More justified than most examples; eating food simply restores stamina, rather than healing wounds.²²[[/folder]]²²[[folder:I to N]]²* InGameTV: Once you build the television, you can tune in to three different channels; each shows a different program every day. To avoid missing anything good, it's recommended that the player check each channel daily.²** The weather channel features Lillie giving you the details about the forecast for both the current day and the following day. ²** The Oak Tree Channel provides tips to make farming easier and more fun. It also has a recurring program, ''Oak Tree Life'', which reveals details about the residents of Oak Tree Town. ²** The Variety Channel shows a number of serial programs, including a fantasy adventure saga, a few kids' shows, a travelogue, and a well-written murder mystery. These programs are shown in a loop; once the final episode of a program airs, it starts again from the beginning.²* InUniverseGameClock: For every second in real life, a minute passes in the game. Time is suspended whenever you update your journal, build/craft things, watch television, view your inventory, or interact with vendors.²** This game uses the 24-hour clock, just like the [[UsefulNotes/{{Nintendo 3DS}} system it's on]].²* InconsistentDub:²** In [[Videogame/HarvestMoonTheTaleOfTwoTowns their first appearance]], Licorice and Kamil's names were [[CulturalTranslation translated as "Reina" and "Cam"]]. In this game, partly due to a [[Creator/XSeedGames a new translation team]] their names are more faithful to the Japanese Version.²** A minor example, but the ShowWithinAShow ''Streets of the World'' program is either hosted by different women named Leela, Lula, Lyra, and Layla, or a [[JapaneseRanguage translation mishap]] has caused each installment to give the host a different name.²* InnerMonologue: The PlayerCharacter has one, in {{Cut Scene}}s.²* AnInteriorDesignerIsYou:²** You can upgrade your home and build new furnishings, flooring, and wallpaper for it, so long as you purchase the necessary blueprints and acquire the materials. An editing table inside the house lets you arrange the furniture, as well as the other buildings on your farm, however you like.²** An Exterior Designer Is You: As more traders come to the town through your efforts, Veronica will want the town to be as attractive as possible, and gives you full reign over the landscaping in more and more parts of town.²* ItemCrafting:²** You'll need to do this whenever you want to add furniture, buildings, or decorative touches to your farm.²** Once you install a kitchen in your house, you can purchase recipes and cook various meals. This is required to unlock many of the trophies, and the more you cook, the better quality of food you can produce.²** In order to progress in a romance with any character, you must craft a promise ring to give them. You'll need silver and fluorite, and the ring can only be made in the Sewing Studio at the accessory bench. The Sewing Studio also allows you to make clothing for the annual fashion competitions, as well as outfits you can wear.²** After you construct a Winery on your farm, you can take the fruit from your fruit trees and ferment them into wines. Adding a Cheese Factory lets you turn your cows' milk into regular or flavored cheeses, butter, and mayonnaise. A Pottery Studio lets you make flower pots, cups, and other clay items. The Spice Factory allows you to turn certain ingredients into condiments, such as jelly and soy sauce, and grind wheat or rice into flour.²* LargeHam: The guest judges of the assorted competitions (cooking, fashion, etc.) all have some of this going on, in one way or another. It's PlayedForLaughs, of course, and they're all that much more memorable for it.²* LawOfChromaticSuperiority: Some flower colors are better than others. By raising people's affection, their flower color changes.²* LovableAlphaBitch: Elise, post character development.²* LoveInterests: Twelve of them - six males and six females.²* LuckBasedMission: Every contest has a bit of this. Even if you perform perfectly in every aspect, there's a chance you'll end up losing simply because the game didn't favour you.²** The fishing contest is probably the worst offender: it actively weighs the scales against you. There are only three usable fishing spots (as you can't put the fishing rod away, you can't swim across to the fourth). There are ''four'' competitors, but, thankfully, one of your opponents always occupies the inaccessible spot. However, when the timer starts, they are ''already'' in position at one of the fishing spots, while you're just outside Oak Tree Town. Not only do you have to waste precious time seeking out the only vacant dock, if you're unlucky enough that the spot on Eda's farm is the only available fishing spot, you'll waste an in-game hour just getting there. It's a wonder your character hasn't complained to the Guild. And you better have bait handy: the only way to slightly even up the odds is to bait every fishing spot, and that's still no guarantee of victory: even early in the game, your opponents can catch over twenty fish, or fish four meters long!²* MistakenForServant: The scripted event which introduces you to Elise has her ordering you to carry a vase and drawers to her room. Her actual servants arrive after you do it, and they're more upset by it than you or Elise are.²* MoneySink: Blueprints for buildings and furnishings, patterns for the Sewing Studio, recipes to cook in the kitchen... purchasing all of these eventually unlocks trophies. You're also apparently the only one capable of expanding the Safari Park, which requires accumulations of materials as well as gold. Additionally, if you want to have a really big wedding, you've got to save up one million gold for the best option, wherein the whole village attends and you get the most gifts. And just in case you otherwise happen to run out of things to do with your income, there's an annual fireworks display which relies on your donations to fund it.²* MoodWhiplash: Inevitable when it comes to the character animations. See GoingThroughTheMotions.²* MeaningfulName: Fun Fact, Licorice is a plant. The candy is flavored by licorice extract.²* NewsTravelsFast: Even if you first met the sprites the same day, when you meet Pepita, she'll refer to you as "that human".²* NewGamePlus: After unlocking all seven Trade Depot vendors, starting a new game allows the player the choice of starting with 1) 50,000 gold, 2) 10,000 friendship points with all of the villagers, or 3) nothing.²* NewSeasonNewName: ''Story of Seasons'' is a video game version of this trope for the ''VideoGame/HarvestMoon'' series. It's still a ''Bokujō Monogatari'' series, but due to changes in American distribution, the new Western title of the franchise is ''Story of Seasons'' while Natsume holds the rights to the ''Harvest Moon'' name.²* NoPlotNoProblem: This game has almost no plot outside of scripted events and romance arcs; you signed up to start a farm, your application was approved, and that's it. Unlike its ''Harvest Moon'' predecessors, where the protagonist needs to do specific tasks, the protagonist of this game is free to do whatever to their heart's content with no time limit or stakes of any kind.²²[[/folder]]²²[[folder:P to S]]²* PermanentlyMissableContent: While there is no hurry to complete the conditions for most events, if you want to see [[spoiler:Eda's three rivalry events]], you have to do it before [[spoiler:[[WhamEpisode the first winter]]]].²* PlayingHardToGet: Implied. Elise is the one of the most difficult bachelorettes to court; you have to see all of her Rival events as well as her Heart events. Doesn't help her status as a BaseBreakingCharacter with the fandom.²* PetInterface: You can purchase livestock and pets to raise. With the exception of your starting cow Hanako, who is a gift from Madam Eda, you can give the animals any name you like consisting of six letters or fewer. You must feed the animals, groom them, and show them affection, and you can arrange to breed them through one of the vendors.²* PlayableEpilogue: The game "ends" after you get married. You can still resume playing even after the credits. ²* ProtagonistWithoutAPast: Apart from the fact that you left the city to become a farmer, and you apparently have wanted to be one since you were a child, you will never learn anything about the life you abandoned to move to Oak Tree Town. You have no known family or contacts from your earlier years.²* {{Pun}}:²** Try giving Klaus a present wrapped in his preferred blue or black ribbon. He asks if you wrapped it yourself, adding that "You must be very... gifted."²** Woofio makes terrible, canine-themed puns when judging livestock competitions, and Matsuba opens every crop contest by asking the audience if they're ready to "crop til you drop!"²* RelationshipValues: Just like in all ''VideoGame/HarvestMoon'' games, this is included.²* SoundtrackDissonance: Eating a meal with your spouse can be this if you're experiencing severe weather, due to the soundtrack being happy-go lucky.²* SaveScumming:²** Writing in your journal before mining in the Safari Park will allow you to quickly reload and try again if the mine's offerings on a given day are not what you want.²** This can also be done before entering any of the festival competitions, as the prizes are sometimes random.²** Can also be invaluable when trying to win or keep a field during a conquest -- a known glitch sometimes causes conquest results to display incorrectly. This can end up costing a player both their lease on a field and all the crops on it if the glitch occurs.²* ScriptedEvent: Several, especially in your earliest years; these events are triggered whenever you are taught something or introduced to a new character. Individual characters also have their own scripted events which only happen when you achieve the required number of friendship/reputation points with them. Each romance arc has at least four.²* SeasonalBaggage: Rather than twelve months like the real world, the game's calendar year is divided into the four seasons. Each season lasts exactly 31 days, is visually different from the others, and has its own {{leitmotif}} playing throughout the day.²* ShowWithinAShow: Building a television allows you to [[InGameTV watch the various shows]] broadcast on the three available channels. One show is broadcast per channel each day, running all day until the signal cuts out at midnight:²** Weather Channel: Only broadcasts one program, which is Lillie's weather forecast. Gives information on the day's weather and the forecast for the next day. Lillie's show is a type 1 example -- Lillie, who is a resident of Oak Tree Town, is involved in the production of the show.²** Variety Channel: Hosts [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin a variety of programs]], including a travelogue, a murder mystery, and children's programming. Runs different programming each day of the week. Some shows are rerun immediately once all episodes are aired, others are replaced by a different show. Some of the shows are [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/ShoutOut/StoryOfSeasons shout-outs]] to popular real-world franchises, and all are type 2 examples of ShowWithinAShow:²*** ''Murder at Black Gull Villa: Cry of the Carillon'': Monday's program, a murder mystery centered on the investigation of what [[NeverSuicide appears to be a suicide]] during a dinner party at the remote seaside mansion of a wealthy businessman.²*** ''Streets of the World'': Tuesday's program, a travelogue that explores the countries from which the merchants in the trade depot hail. Usually in the form of the comical misadventures of the hapless hosts and their crews as they explore the region.²*** ''Search for the Legendary Chef'': Wednesday's program, an adventure-documentary detailing [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin the search for a legendary chef]] Char Han, who has disappeared from public view. Host and reluctant adventuress Misa must undergo a series of wacky trials to find out what has happened to her cooking idol.²*** ''Princess Lillias Adventure'': Thursday's program, in which the titular RebelliousPrincess Lillia decides she'll become a hero of the realm and battle the Dark Prince in order to escape from an ArrangedMarriage.²*** ''[[Series/MightyMorphinPowerRangers Mighty Munchin' Veggie Rangers]]'': Friday's program, in which a trio of color-coded, vegetable powered superheroes fight a villain who steals the world's supply of fresh fruits and veggies. ²*** ''Nature Sprite Tale'': Saturday's program, in which a young nature sprite named Socra details his work for the Harvest Goddess and the various schemes of their nemesis, the Witch.²*** ''Rookie Detective Karen'': One of Sunday's programs, in which the young detective Karen sets out to solve crimes. Narrated by her sidekick, the sentient feline Mr. Tiddles.²*** ''[[Manga/GetterRobo Robot Genesis: Gotter Robo ZERO]]'': Replaces ''Rookie Detective Karen'' after its run on Sundays. Concerns the exploits of four girls as an alien presence gifts them giant robots with which to defend the planet against a fearsome foe.²** Oak Tree Channel: Programming focused on farming and life in the town of Oak Tree.²*** ''Oak Tree Tips'': Broadcast Mondays through Fridays, offering vaguely worded tips on edit combos, farming, animal care, and other subjects. A type 2 example. ²*** ''Giorgios Gorgeous Farm Life'': Saturday's program, in which local farmer Giorgio offers tips on farming and animal care, as well as musing on the nature of beauty. A type 1 example.²*** ''Oak Tree Times'' Sunday's program, in which host Kassie interviews the denizens of Oak Tree Town. Useful for finding out what marriage candidates and other citizens like and dislike, as well as revealing some of their backstories. Both a type 1 and type 2 example, as almost all the guests are characters from town, and many of them remark to Kassie that they've seen her show.²* SleepingSingle: For some weird reason, you'll have ''two'' double beds - one in the living room, and one in the second floor room. Your spouse and children sleep on the second floor. After certain events like birthdays, your character will find him/herself on the first floor. You ''can,'' however, sleep on the same bed as your spouse.²* SocializationBonus: Much like in ''Harvest Moon: A New Beginning'', the multiplayer option allows you to visit other players' farms or have them visit yours. Players can give each other gifts and improve the condition of one another's crops.²* SuperStrength: In edit mode, the player character is able to lift trees, fountains, larger-than-life statues, even entire ''barns'' in order to move them about.²²[[/folder]]²²[[folder:T to Z]]²* ThroughHisStomach: The easiest way to raise affection with other characters, especially the love interests, is to learn their favorite foods and gift it to them once a day. Each resident of Oak Tree Town has a gift that they love and appreciate more than any other, and [[TrademarkFavoriteFood it's always food]].²* TrademarkFavoriteFood:²** Giving a character [[YourFavorite their favorite food]] will net you 1,000 Friendship Points. It might also result in LoveBubbles, sparkles, flowers, or other special effects appearing around their CharacterPortrait as they thank you for the generous gift.²** The quickest way to befriend the various animals that live in the Safari zone and around Oak Tree Town is to give them their favorite food.²* UltimateAuthorityMayor: Veronica is essentially this; the game doesn't identify her explicitly as the mayor of Oak Tree Town, but she pretty much runs the village. As guildmistress, she's the one to handle all the details about land assignment, competitions, vendors, and other day-to-day operations in the town. She also performs the ceremony should your character get married and [[spoiler:conducts Eda's funeral]].²* UntoUsASonAndDaughterAreBorn: Once the protagonist gets married and upgrades his/her house to the second-story model, s/he and their spouse will eventually have male and female fraternal twins. They greatly resemble their NPC parent.²* VagueAge: It's not really clear how old any of the characters are. In particular, Fritz, Mistel, and Lillie all look ''way'' younger than they must be (since they're all old enough to marry), which causes some players to find them difficult to accept as love interests.²* ValleyGirl: In [[CulturalTranslation the English translation]], at one point, Licorice will display the speech patterns of a Valley Girl. ²--->'''Licorice:''' I always feel super-relaxed around noon. Like, in the morning, I'm all get-up-and-go, and then at noon, I'm like, "Time for a siesta."²* VendorTrash: The vendors will buy pretty much anything you want to sell them - including captured frogs and insects, the bottles and boots you catch while fishing, and gathered twigs and stones.²** Subverted with weeds. They ''seem'' to be this, but actually turn out to be very valuable, since they are a cheap way to produce fertilizer once you get the Seed Factory. [[GuideDangIt The game doesn't give any prior indication about this]].²** {{Lampshaded}} in the description for Scrap Ore:²-->''"A cheap ore. You don't really have much use for it, but there are a few people who'll take it off your hands."''²** Inverted with the PhilosophersStone. You need it to create the ultimate Philosopher Style tools. It can be found at the mining point (though it's a rare drop item) and it costs 777,777 G from the Ice Country vendor... but it has a resale value of 1 G.²* WalletOfHolding: Overlaps with CheapGoldCoins - although your bag's inventory is limited, your wallet doesn't appear to be. The most expensive purchase you can make from a traveling salesperson is 104,000,000 G (for 20 pink diamonds at 5,200,000 G each): G being short for gold coin. All that money must be carried on your person. This ludicrous amount of currency might make sense if the economy worked on a credit system, but all signs point to a cash-based economy; all transactions with merchants are instantaneous, collecting earnings from your stall at the trading depot is accompanied by the sound of a coin dropping, and there's no mention of banks (or other financial institutions) where you can store your money.²* WarpWhistle:²** The horse - provided you're near one of the Horseback Riding stations, you can summon the horse instantly and ride it where you need to go. If you have at least one carrot in your bag, you can direct it to take you instantly to your farm, the town square, or the Trade Depot.²** Beginning in your second year, Rose Country's vendor will also sell a second WarpWhistle in the form of [[MundaneMadeAwesome hand-held balloons]]. Pull one out while you're on your farm, and it will deposit you in a random spot in the town.²** After acquiring 3000 customer points with Rose Country, you can buy the blueprints for a cannon. Building it and placing it in one of the town's plazas allows you to [[HumanCannonball launch yourself]] between the town and your farm -- or vice-versa if you put the cannon on your farm. The item's description warns you that there's a chance you can land off target.²* WeatherDissonance: No matter what season it is, it will always be sunny at the Safari Park, except for occasional light rainfall. Despite this, you can still find snowballs on the ground during winter.²* WhamEpisode: Many players were shocked to find that [[spoiler:Eda dies when the first winter starts.]]²* WithThisRing: Each RomanceArc has four scripted events (except for Elise's, which has five). You can only see the first two for any love interest before needing to confirm the relationship through the gift of a promise ring. Later, when you get married, you'll receive a wedding ring which can be equipped onto your avatar as an accessory.²* WizardNeedsFoodBadly: You can't work forever. You'll eventually have to eat something (or sleep) in order to regain stamina.²* YodelLand: Cabin Country is implied to be this. The merchant wears the typical style of dress, it specialises in grazing animals, and it's the country from which you buy the Cheese Factory. Even the description of it in [[ShowWithinAShow Streets of the World]] evokes this:²-->'''Host''': What do you think about when you hear the words 'Cabin County'? Fields, acres full of livestock, flower gardens, right? Well, let's get a nice view of all that. I've been hiking up to a mountain cabin, and I'm finally almost there. We're already up over 9,800 feet. The mountains around me are covered in snow.²* YouRequireMoreVespeneGas: You need to grind for materials to make things.²* YouShouldntKnowThisAlready: You can't cook a dish until you've acquired the recipe. Mixing random ingredients in the kitchen isn't allowed. This can be frustrating if you're trying to woo a specific neighbor and know how to make their favorite dish, but haven't found the recipe yet.²²[[/folder]]²----

As you can tell if you've been reading my posts, I am in the middle of combining several blogs that I started. I will now be posting erotic book and toy reviews on my blog. I'm excited about becoming a sex toy reviewer ;). I will also be posting pieces that I've written or am currently working on. Most Importantly: I will be blogging about BDSM, Daddy/babygirl Relationships, Polyamory, and Getting Your Kink On When You Have a Disability.
I will also be starting a question and answer segment, so if there any questions about BDSM that you've been dying to ask since you read 50 Shades, then I'm your girl. I will caution you though, and say that bdsm in the real world isn't "really" like 50 Shades. There are a ton of different relationships that fall under the BDSM umbrella, and then there are people who just like to get freaky every once in a blue moon.
I have Multiple Sclerosis, and seeing as how this is MS Awareness month I decided to checkout the resources available to us kinky disabled folks. Sadly, there wasn't as many as I'd hoped & some that looked promising had simply died out. So, I feel like I need to take one for the team and be the "Official Disabled Sexy Toy Testing Goddess". I will do my duty & serve my community proudly; I will face the day, one toy at a time ;).
I will also be discussing polyamory, because I have recently begun a poly relationship. If someone had asked me about being poly five years ago, I would have looked at them like they were crazy. I've changed a lot in that time. I've learned that it's important to be loved unconditionally & be happy, for me that happens to be as a member of a triad…and Daddy's babygirl.

New Emo History Book Features Interviews With Promise Ring, Dashboard, More
Members of American Football, Rainer Maria, Mineral, more contributed to the Anthology of Emo: Volume One
A new book detailing the history of emo and its major players is slated for release this fall. Anthology of Emo: Volume One will feature interviews with artists and bands who heavily influenced the genre, including members of the Promise Ring, Dashboard Confessional (Chris Carrabba), Rainer Maria, American Football (Mike Kinsella), Mineral, the Get Up Kids, and more. Edited by Tom Mullen (Atlantic Records executive and Washed Up Emo founder), the collection stems from interviews he originally conducted on the "Washed Up Emo" podcast. Mullen said in a press release:
My dream for all of this? That the history of emo isn't just mentioning eyeliner, white belts and black hair dye. That's definitely part of the history, but not the whole history. The genre deserves a serious take without the internet jabs and condescending reviews. Emo's history was snagged by one era—that I love some of the bands from—still to this day, it's held on with that notion of being a joke, phase and, heaven forbid, nostalgic. Reading these interviews, regardless of your favorite era, should hopefully give you a wider sense and appreciation for the word and the genre as a whole.
The book is set to ship in December. Find more information here, and check out the cover below.

In this chapter, we'll fill in some background about pipelines and get you up to speed on the concepts before we dive into the actual features of XProc. We're going to assume that you're familiar with XML: you're comfortable the vocabulary of tags and attributes, parsing and validation, and that you've used an XML application or two: XSLT, for example.
At a high level of abstraction, a pipeline is what you get whenever the output of one process feeds into the input of another. If you work with XML, you've probably already used pipelines even if you didn't think about them in those terms. If you validate a document and then transform it, or if you apply XInclude and then validate, or if you use XSLT to run two differen transformations, those are all simple "pipeline" operations.
In another context, pipelines are a common feature of Unix command lines, for example:
1 cat ch01.xml | grep "<para" | wc -l
What that says is:
Run the cat command over ch01.xml. That will display the contents of the file.
The "|" symbol means that instead of displaying those lines in the shell window, that output will become the input to the grep command. What grep will do is display all the lines that contain "<para" and discard all the rest.
Finally, with another "|", the output of grep will become the input to wc. The wc command counts the words in a file, but we gave it the -l option, so it will count the lines instead.
What this pipeline does is print the number of paragraphs in the document:
By using a pipeline we've taken three useful utilities and composed them together to create a pipeline that will count the approximate number of paragraphs we've used in all the XML documents in the current directory. I say approximately because those are all line-based commands and XML isn't really line based. Our XML editor might have saved our XML files with great big long lines so that there's more than one "<para>…</para>" per line which would throw off the counts.
Part of the power of Unix comes from the fact that it provides a large and useful vocabulary of focused commands and a mechnanism for easily composing them. By the same token, the XML technology stack provides a large and useful vocabulary of "commands": parsing, validation, transformation, XInclude, XML Base, escaping and unescaping markup, document comparison, etc. What's historically been missing is a standard, easy to use composition mechnaism.
Which isn't meant to suggest that XProc invented the notion of XML pipelines. Far from it, in fact. For as long as there have been APIs for processing XML, there have been mechanisms for constructing pipelines. One of the explicit goals of the XProc development exercise was to invent as little as possible: the committee attempted to survey the landscape of existing pipeline technologies and standardize the common core. The key features that XProc introduces are standardization and ease of use.
Through standardization we hope to foster the development of interoperable pipelines. The pipelines that you run in your web framework should also run on my command line and the pipelines that run on my command line should also run in your XML editor.
The ease of use goal is met, we hope, by providing an XML vocabulary for describing pipelines. That's what XProc really is. We hope that an analogy with XSLT is apt. Before XSLT, it was obviously possible for programmers to transform XML documents. What XSLT provided was an XML-based model that opened transformation up to a much wider audience. Many people who are able to write XSLT transformations would not feel comfortable writing a transformation application in a standard programming language.
Before XProc, it was obviously possible for programmers to build XML pipelines. What XProc provides is an XML-based model that we hope will make it possible for a much wider audience to take advantage of the benefits of focused tools, loosely connected through pipelines. The fact that many projects developed their own vocabularies for exactly this purpose makes us optimistic that having a standard mechanism will be widely successful.
So what does an XML pipeline look like? Here's an XProc pipeline that counts the number of paragraphs in a document:
1 <p:pipeline xmlns:p="http://www.w3.org/ns/xproc" xmlns:db="http://docbook.org/ns/docbook" version='1.0'> 5 <p:identity> <p:input port="source" select="//db:para"/> </p:identity> <p:count/> 10 </p:pipeline>
What this pipeline does is produce a single XML document that contains the number of DocBook para elements in the document:
1 <c:result xmlns:c="http://www.w3.org/ns/xproc-step">??FIXME:??</c:result>
It's not completely isomorphic to the Unix command line example because the abstractions are just a little bit different. Where the command line tools work with lines, XProc uses documents, where the command line tools use regular expressions, XProc uses XPath.
We'll cover all the details in subsequent chapters, but here's a short summary of how this pipeline works:
There's nothing equivalent to the cat command because the pipeline expects the processor to pass it the document(s) to process.
Where grep used a regular expression to find lines that contain "<para", the XProc pipeline uses an XPath expression to select precisely the DocBook paragraph elements. (The p:identity step copies its to its output, unchanged; by selecting all the paragraphs on input, we get every paragraph in a separate document on output.)
The p:count step just counts the documents that come to it, producing as output a single c:result element containing the number of documents it saw.
In fairness, that's not a very useful pipeline. It was chosen for its similarity to the preceding Unix example. Here's a more realistic XProc pipeline:
1 <p:pipeline xmlns:p="http://www.w3.org/ns/xproc" version='1.0'> <p:xinclude/> 5 <p:validate-with-relax-ng> <p:input port="schema"> <p:document href="docbook.rng"/> </p:input> </p:validate-with-relax-ng> 10 <p:xslt> <p:input port="stylesheet"> <p:document href="docbook.xsl"/> </p:input> 15 </p:xslt> </p:pipeline>
That pipeline performs XInclude, RELAX NG validation, then transformation. These pipelines are all quite simple. As we'll see, pipelines can be very sophisticated: they can interact with web services, make choices, iterate over sequences, recover from errors, and be extended in a variety of ways.
Although there are exceptions, many XML technologies were designed with a very specific focus: XML base is about base URIs, XInclude is about transclusion, XQuery and XSLT are about querying and transformation, XML Schema and RELAX NG are about validation, etc.
There are many common use cases where the order and interaction between these processes is obvious. Your favorite stylesheet processor, for example, may give you options for performing validation or XInclude processing, or both. That processor supports the most common scenario of those technologies: XInclude, followed by validation, followed by transformation. In fact, those options allow you to control a very limited pipeline within the product.
But equally, there are many use cases where the order and interaction between these process is not simply less obvious, it doesn't exist:
You might want to validate before performing XInclude processing (in order to determine if the xi:include elements themselves occurred in legal places). You might then want to perform validation again, probably with a different schema after XInclude to assess the validity of the composed document.
Along the same lines, you might want to perform validation both before and after a transformation.
If a document can't be processed by some part of a pipeline, you might want to recover in application-specific ways.
You might want to interact with a web service as part of a larger process, perhaps choosing to perform different kinds of processing depending on the result of that interaction.
In these and countless other scenarious, the order and sequence of steps has no single, predefined, correct order.
Decomposing a complex "business process" (to use the vernacular) into a sequence of simpler steps, operations on XML documents in our case, is a natural and powerful abstraction. What's needed to achieve this vision is some "glue language" that allows us to express the nature and order of operations that comprise our application: we need a pipeline language.
Dozens of vendor and application-specicific languages have been invented for this task.
There are many different ways to model pipelines. The examples above are completely linear pipelines where each step requires a very small amount of context. These pipelines are simple and fast, but can only support the kinds of processes that require no branching and very little context.
This model can be expanded and generalized to what we might call the "flowing water" pipeline model. These are conceptually just like the oil, water, and natural gas pipelines we are familiar with in the real world. In an oil pipeline, there are processing stations of various sorts (reservoirs, filters, valves, distillation plants, etc.) connected together by physical pipelines. Crude oil flows in at one end and moves from station to station through pipes. Each stations performs some process and directs the resulting output through one or more pipes to the next process. In an XML pipeline, the processing stations are XML processes and the pipelines are the pathways down which XML documents may "flow".
Another model is based on events and state transitions. In this model there are no fixed pathways between processes. Rather, each document has an associated state and each step in the process applies some action and optionally moves the document to another state. Event driven pipelines may process a document many times, moving it through a complex network of states until some step concludes that the work is done. They are flexible and powerful, but can be tricky to understand.
XProc pipelines follow the "flowing water" model. This model was selected because it's sufficiently powerful to address many real use cases and also conceptually quite easy to explain and understand.
The discussion of a processing model raises the question of streaming. Streaming is difficult to define succinctly. For our purposes it's sufficient to say that a streaming process differs from a non-streaming one if it can process an arbitrarily large document, or arbitrarily many documens, without running out of memory.
Some steps are more naturally streamable than others. A step that deletes all elements that have a revisionflag attribute with the value "deleted", is conceptually easy to stream. A step that adds an attribute to the document element if the document contains an odd number of elements with no attributes appears impossible to stream.
XProc tries very hard to be neutral about streaming. There's no requirement that an implementation be able to stream, but the language attempts to avoid imposing semantics that would prevent it from streaming.
Generally speaking, an XProc pipeline document has a document element of p:pipeline (or possibly p:declare-step) and contains one or more steps. The steps are connected, either implicitly or explicitly, and documents flow between steps along those connections. The name of each step identifies its type which determines what kind of processing it performs.
In addition to the connections between them, steps can have options and parameters, some steps can be nested, variables may be declared, etc.
We'll consider the anatomy of pipelines in more detail in the following chapters.
In order to run an XProc pipeline, you need an XProc processor. At the time of this writing, there are two complete implementations: XML Calabash, written by the author, and Calumet, written by Vojtech Toman of EMC. By the time you read this, there may be more, see http://xproc.org/implementations/ for an up-to-date list.
All pipelines that conform to XProc: An XML Pipeline Language should produce the same results if run by any conformant processor. Not surprisingly, we're going to use XML Calabash for most of our examples in this book.
All pipelines that conform to XProc: An XML Pipeline Language should produce the same results if run by any conformant processor—if the processor supports all the steps used.
Steps come in three flavors: required steps, optional steps, and extension steps. The required and optional steps are described in the XProc specification. As you could probably guess, all processors are required to support the required steps but may or may not choose to support (all of) the optional steps. Any step not described in the specification is an extension step.
Extension steps come in a few flavors as well. Every pipeline has the potential to be used as a step in another pipeline. Extension steps implemented as XProc pipelines are, naturally, every bit as interoperable as the steps they contain.
Implementations may also support the creation of extension steps directly using whatever APIs their underlying programming language supports. In Appendix A, Introduction to XML Calabash, we'll examine how you can write your own XML Calabash extensions in Java. Such steps are only going to work in the implementation for which they were written.
There's one last wrinkle in this story. The http://exproc.org/ website is attempting to collect a set of community-supported extension steps. With luck, the vocabulary of extensions defined at EXProc.org will also be portable across different implementations.

text: Share: Comments Print April 18, 2013 at 3:17 PM Mike Leach's childhood fascination with Geronimo leads to book Posted by Don Shelton Adam Lewis Murrow News Service Mike Leach first learned about Geronimo, the famous Apache warrior, during a childhood visit to the library in Golden, Colo. His mom had told him he could pick out any book he wanted. "I've read nearly everything I can get on him since," said Leach, Washington State's football coach. Now, some four decades later, Leach is writing Geronimo's life story with Buddy Levy, an English professor at WSU, who also stars in the History Channel show "Decoded." "(Geronimo) had a vision of his destiny, obviously valued the Apache way and the things that they were able to achieve were astounding," Leach said. The duo collaborated only after Leach realized they taught and coached at the same university. In 2011, before Leach was hired at WSU, his book agent asked him to meet with a professor from a college in the "Pacific Northwest." The only problem: Leach was in the midst of a book tour for his autobiography, "Swing Your Sword" and hosting a show on Sirius Satellite Radio. The meeting never happened. Flash ahead to Leach's first year in Pullman. He walked into Bohler Athletic Department and was told Levy was in his office. "Who's Buddy Levy?" Leach asked. Only after Leach met the professor did he realize who Levy was. "It turns out he's the same guy," the coach said, "and he is a professor at Washington State, the college in the Northwest." Levy said he name-dropped his most famous student the first time they met – one Leach was surely familiar with. "I told him that I'd been working at Washington State for many years and that I was previously Drew Bledsoe's English professor so I think that warmed him up," he said. They quickly became friends. Levy believed their shared fascination with Geronimo would make for a captivating book. Levy's knowledge of history – he's written about everything from conquistadores to Davy Crockett – combined with Leach's theories about leadership provided a template for a two-pronged book about Geronimo's life and leadership. Levy said his co-author's transition into the literary world came naturally. "He's always thinking about connections and historical context and he knows a ton," he said. "He's widely read, so he's able to make a lot of different connections. Both hope it reaches a diverse audience when Gallery Books releases it sometime in 2014. Levy and Leach believe the first manuscript will be done this summer. Leach is known for choosing a topic to research in the offseason, then applying what he learns to coaching. He said writing about the last Indian American to surrender his tribe to U.S. forces was no different. "Anytime you have an individual who believes in his convictions so much that he's willing to risk his own life and the lives of his people for principles – and take it to that level – then he commands attention," Levy said. Leach may have felt like similar forces were bearing down against him last season, when his team finished 3-9. Like his first losing season ever, Leach's second book has been a learning experience. One that started during a visit to a library in Golden, Colo. The Murrow News Service provides local, regional and statewide stories reported and written by journalism students at the Edward R.

Happiness is a book by Marie Westeros. It can be found in the Royal Library in Empo Sar.
Page 1
Happiness by Marie Westeros
Page 2
Happiness Everybody's life contains moments of complete ecstasy, and moments of utter debilitating sadness. Many of us spend our time asking questions such as: "am I truly happy?", "what is our purpose?", "why am I here?", "what are you doing in bed with my wife?"; and it seems to be the case that any who ask such questions are distinctly unhappy. So why is this? We spend our entire lives, worrying uncontrollably about what we have done in the past, and what we will do in the future. All too often, in our desperation to consider our own past and future happiness, we are blind to the fact that we are missing out on the most important part of living: the present. It is a sad fact that all are guilty of counting their troubles, but few can be said to do the same with their joys. For if all the problems from all the people in the world were piled into a heap, so that everybody could take an equal portion, most people would be content to take back their own share. So what is happiness? Well I have considered the meaning of happiness for many, many years, and have surprised myself with a very simple solution: happiness is never stopping to ask yourself if you are. Don't ask yourself if you're happy. And don't expect to feel happy all the time. Instead, remember this: we are seldom happy with the lives that we have, but would go to pieces if we lost any part of it.

Gailen David
At age 10, Gailen David started a travel agency in his bedroom and began planning trips for neighbors and business associates of his parents. Eastern Airlines became aware of his travel enterprise and took him under their wing; supporting his travel business, including him in Eastern events such as press conferences, receptions and even aircraft retirement ceremonies such as the farewell to the Lockheed Electra.
His dream to become a flight attendant came true when he was hired by American Airlines in 1987. As a purser, he was based in New York, Washington, San Francisco and eventually Miami. Soon he was tapped by American to create instructional videos and deliver motivational seminars to his colleagues throughout the airline's system. Positive results led to training opportunities and speaking engagements at other airlines and companies throughout the world.
His "Jetiquette…The Customer Experience and You" training program was recognized by Travel Weekly Magazine and received "The Magellan Award" in 2008. Gailen's from-the-heart program focused on showing front-line workers how valuable they really are and shared his own methods for recognizing and savoring the many rewards that come from making the travel experience special for someone else.
He trademarked the term "Jetiquette," which signifies a civilized approach to travel, and made it the focus of a blog titled "Dear Sky Steward;" which became an internet sensation along with a weekly radio show by the same name.

Uploading a website to servers to make the website live or active on the web is termed as Hosting. Website owners can can have their own web space, bandwidth and maintain a domain name of their own. Choosing hosting accounts depends on how much web space and bandwidth your website may need. There are various types of hosting accounts from which a website owner can choose according to his online business needs. Some of the most popular hosting accounts are
1. Shared hosting
2. VPS hosting
3. Dedicated hosting
Understanding what is VPS?
A shared hosting is one where many users will be allotted limited server space and bandwidth under a single common server which will have to be paid periodically once the limitation exceeds. A dedicated hosting on the other hand will have the full server space dedicated to a single user and which is appropriate for a company of multilevel business. A VPS web hosting or Virtual Private Sever almost works with a combined effect of dedicated and shared server and hence one could find both shared and dedicated hosting options from VPS hosting.
How VPS works?
A VPS hosting is suitable for those who do not need a dedicated server option and would prefer if they could get hosting options that offer good web space unlike shared hosting. It allows the user to rent a portion of the server which cannot be shared by other users. It works almost like that of dedicated servers, where the programs will run several other virtual operating systems that in turn will help your website to work with VPS. Like in a dedicated server you will be able to run a range of virtual operating systems in the same server and thus gives the same effect as that of dedicated server. In addition the optimization part of VPS server stays almost free thus allowing the user to manage domain names, upload files and images as well as manage several activities in the website by their own.
There are several benefits in choosing a VPS hosting. Some of them
- Security and Privacy- Since, while using a VPS hosting service the user will be allowed to run the suitable operating system he will not have to share the same with any other user. Hence, no other website that shares the same sever can have access to your website like in a shared hosting environment.
- Easy customisation- With the provision of working with specific operating system, the user will be at the freedom to choose the suitable applications for his website needs and make changes too in choosing any additional services he needs.
- No time limit- With VPS one can also reschedule the restart time after installing any application.
- Other forms of dedicated resources- Like in dedicated hosting, one can enjoy dedicated RAM allotted exclusively for the single user and no other user can share the RAM Space.

This House Supports the Creation of LGBTQ Schools
April 23, 2015 @ 5:00 pm / 6:30 pm
Facebook Event: www.facebook.com/events/644786918960428/
Earlier this year money was awarded to LGBTQ Youth Northwest to conduct a feasibility study into the prospect of creating an LGBTQ School in the UK. If it passes, the first school could open here in Manchester within a few years.
LGBTQ Schools are schools built primarily, but not exclusively, for LGBTQ children who mainstream education is not working, largely due to the continual widespread homophobic and transphobic bullying that occurs. Advocates argue that these schools give students a safer and productive environment to be educated in.
Stonewall, amongst others, have criticised the plans, arguing that it is possible to create safe and inclusive spaces within mainstream schools. They propose that the creation of LGBTQ schools segregates children, and think they avoid the real problems that need to be solved.
This week the Manchester Debating Union asks: should we support the creation of LGBT schools?
