What are some hands-on ideas of how to integrate science into music and art classes? – A., Iowa
I believe that teachers should try to integrate subjects! Here are just a few ideas; search the NSTA Learning Center and NGSS@NSTA for more.
Science in Music
You can stretch large metal springs or plastic dryer vent tubes across your room to demonstrate waves or investigate many sound-related properties.
Record stringed and percussion instruments in slow motion to observe the wave patterns. Change the note and see the difference in the instrument.
Wind instruments create sound by "bouncing" waves repeatedly inside them. If the wavelength and the tube "match" (resonate) then you get a nice loud sound. Investigate this relationship by making pan flutes out of differing lengths of straws, PVC pipe, or use plastic bottles with varying amounts of water.
Science in Visual Arts
Try some chromatography—the reverse of color mixing. Cut coffee filters or blotter paper into long strips. Dab a saturated dot of ink from pens or markers near one end. Dip the tip of that paper in a small amount of water in a tall glass. Over time and you will see the colors in the ink separate as they are carried as the water wicks upward.
Differentiate between additive and subtractive color mixing using light filters. Just overlapping different colored LED Christmas lights will show that blue and green light make yellow!
A chemical reaction occurs between damp plaster and paint which makes frescos brighter and much more durable than paint on wood or canvas. This could lead to a discussion of Michelangelo and the Sistine Chapel.
Hope this helps!

Saudi Aramco's extensive upstream investments and its expanding production infrastructure helped it maintain its role as the world's largest crude oil exporter
Saudi Aramco combines its substantial knowledge and insight to develop some of the most advanced technologies in the world to assist it in finding additional petroleum reserves – and to maximise the recovery of these resources for the benefit of this generation and the generations to come.
Over the years, its expertise in managing its resource base has garnered global trust. To continue earning that trust, Saudi Aramco will invest significantly over the next decade across all areas of its business.
The bulk of this spending will be in its upstream activities to ensure Saudi Aramco maintains adequate spare crude oil production capacity to help stabilise the world oil market whenever disruptions occur.
The company is committed to making key advances in areas such as reservoir management that will strengthen its ability to reliably meet the needs of its customers while also bolstering the long-term efficiency and sustainability of its operations.
From the Arabian Gulf to the Rub Al-Khali, 2014 saw Aramco maximising the impact of its resources in a number of ways.
The company's average daily crude oil production in 2014 was 9.5 million barrels per day (mbpd) and Saudi Aramco exported a total of 2.5 billion barrels to customers around the world. It also worked toward its goal of significantly increasing its gas production, says Saudi Aramco in its 2014 Annual Review.
In 2014, Saudi Aramco processed 11.3 billion standard cubic feet per day (bscfd) of raw gas, an increase of nearly 3 per cent compared to 2013. All of the increase in its gas production was from nonassociated gas reservoirs.
The company's growing gas production capacity will ensure that Saudi Aramco efficiently meets the kingdom's rising energy demand with gas for power and industry while also meeting the global call on its crude oil.
Aramco's exploration programme discovered eight new fields, the most in its history: five gas fields, Abu Ali, Faras, Amjad, Badi, and Faris; two oil fields, Sadawi and Naqa; and one oil and gas field, Qadqad. This brings its total number of discovered fields to 129.
Saudi Aramco completed a number of offshore wells in the Red Sea, giving it a deeper understanding of the hydrocarbon systems and potential resources in this region. The company's better appreciation of the kingdom's resource base is instrumental in enabling it to book new recoverable reserves to replace all of the oil Saudi Aramco produces with the long-term goal of growing the kingdom's resource base.
Saudi Aramco has made good progress toward meeting this target over the past decade. At the end of 2014, the company's crude oil and condensate reserves stood at 261.1 billion barrels while natural gas reserves registered 294 trillion cubic feet, both all-time record highs. The molecules in these resources, and the opportunities they provide it to make lasting positive impacts at home and around the world, are the foundation of everything Saudi Aramco does.
Aramco intends to cut seismic acquisition costs by 50 per cent
Saudi Aramco is an explorer at heart, always searching for new frontiers. At Saudi Aramco, a new frontier can be exploring a new geographic area, creating a new technology, entering a new partnership, or enabling new opportunities for the people of the kingdom.
The foundation for all of these endeavours is the exploration for petroleum. Seismic, and specifically land seismic, is a centre of excellence in Saudi Aramco.
Saudi Aramco has developed and deployed more intelligent acquisition and processing methods to improve the clarity and resolution of seismic data. The company's seismic acquisition and analysis is being integrated more with electromagnetic and high-resolution gravity sensors, especially for subsalt imaging and in areas of complex geology.
Saudi Aramco has programmes working to meet its long-term target of improving vertical seismic resolution to 5 feet at depths of 15,000 feet within four to five years.
The company continued exploring the frontier deep waters of the Red Sea. Known as an extensional rift, the Red Sea represents a new geologic environment for it.
Saudi Aramco has completed acquisition of essential data onshore and offshore to guide its future exploration. The company continued its research into the usage of autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) to conduct seismic data gathering in shallow waters. The navigation and positioning software elements were evaluated and tested in Europe using actual sea conditions.
Additional work included the design and evaluation of the optimal AUV shape. Deploying AUVs for offshore seismic work offers the prospect of substantially reduced costs and time while also providing enhanced subsurface imagery.
Long term, Saudi Aramco intends to cut seismic acquisition costs by 50 per cent and acquisition time by a factor of four while improving subsurface image fidelity and accuracy at the same time. With the growth of its exploration programme – and its subsequent activities such as data collection, analysis, storage, and preservation – the need arose to create a computer system to track the decisions in support of drilling wildcat and delineation wells and prioritise them based on their benefits and the value of the information derived.
The new Exploration Explorer System, launched in 2014, has transformed the way Saudi Aramco deals with oil and gas prospects. It provides a state-of-the-art method to track the phases of decision making. The system also displays the prospective resources, their types, volumes, locations, and depths in a manner that gives its exploration teams a unified vision of the project.
Use of the system saves time, effort, and resources while allowing geologists, geophysicists, and all other exploration support personnel to carry out their roles in a more timely and accurate manner. Unconventional gas has transformed the petroleum industry landscape. The company's own unconventional gas programme continued to gain momentum in 2014. A sizeable investment in this alternative resource will help it assess, develop, and produce gas from shale and tight sand formations in three target areas: northern Saudi Aramco, the greater Ghawar area, and the eastern Jafurah Basin.
In northern Saudi Arabia, gas will be delivered to Ma'aden facilities at Wa'ad Al Shamaal by 2016 and by 2018 additional gas will be made available for local power generation. In the greater Ghawar area, work is progressing at the Harmaliyah development pilot to obtain technical and operational knowledge and exploration and appraisal work is also ongoing to extend the reservoir base.
Fracture stimulation results in the Jafurah Basin have confirmed the presence of an unconventional hydrocarbon resource. These unconventional gas resources have the potential to complement future inkingdom gas supply, support efforts to displace the use of liquid hydrocarbons for power generation, and increase available feedstock for the growing electric power and chemical industries.
As a desert nation, Saudi Arabia is ever mindful of the value of water. Saudi Aramco constantly explores opportunities to minimise water use in the company's operations, including using treated seawater to replace fresh water. Saudi Aramco commissioned the first successful use of CO2 to replace hydraulic fracturing in a gas well in the Middle East.
This development could help it meet its objective of conserving the kingdom's groundwater for future generations by reducing stimulation water and acid volumes by 30 per cent. In addition, Saudi Aramco has plans to simulate shale gas at the molecular level, modelling the reservoir and its porosity and permeability. This will lead to more effective fracturing, thus reducing costs and improving recovery rates. Unconventional gas is a key component of its goals to help meet the kingdom's energy needs with cleaner burning natural gas and to create jobs for Saudi citizens.
Using natural gas for power generation will also enable it to preserve liquid fuels while efficiently meeting the kingdom's growing electricity demand or for the production of chemical feedstock, thereby capturing additional value. Saudi Aramco's oil and gas production infrastructure leads the industry in scale of production, operational reliability and technical advances.
Aramco maintains the world's largest spare crude oil production capacity
The company's plants and the people who run them make it the world's largest crude oil exporter, producing roughly one in every eight barrels of the world's oil supply. Saudi Aramco maintains the world's largest spare crude oil production capacity, ready to stabilise the global oil market in times of disruption. Ultimately, all in Saudi Aramco know it is not just about how much it produces; it is how the firm does it and what it does with it that matter the most.
Inherent in its energy resources is the potential to create products and industries to diversify the kingdom's economy and generate high-quality jobs. In its hands, energy is opportunity. Successfully put into initial production in April 2013, its Manifa crude oil increment was approaching its full production capacity of 900,000 bpd of Arabian Heavy crude oil at the end of 2014.
Manifa will also produce associated gas as feedstock for industrial cities to help fuel economic diversification. In 2014, Saudi Aramco brought its first combined cycle power generation system online at Manifa, making the facility self-sufficient in power. The system uses a turbine driven by steam produced from a waste-gas heat recovery steam generator.
A Unesco Environmental Responsibility Award nominee, the Manifa project's innovative engineering design was created to optimise the field's production capacity while caring for the environment. Saudi Aramco constructed 3 km of bridges, spanning the migration paths of various marine species to maintain natural water flow and preserve marine nurseries. Saudi Aramco was able to protect the marine environment, and at the same time, recover petroleum energy safely and reliably, thereby sustaining both vital resources for generations to come.
The historic Dammam field was the first field Saudi Aramco developed, beginning in March 1938 when Dammam Well Number 7 (known as the Prosperity Well) struck commercial quantities of crude oil. The field was subsequently mothballed in the 1980s during a time of low global demand.
With current energy forecasts indicating a growing longterm demand for oil, Saudi Aramco has drilled three long-reach wells as part of its plan to reactivate the Dammam field in a phased manner. Saudi Aramco continued work on two major projects at the Shaybah field in 2014.
First, Saudi Aramco is raising oil production capacity by 250,000 bpd for the second time, bringing total oil production capacity to 1 mbpd of Arabian Extra Light crude oil by April 2016 – double its original capacity when it came online in 1998. Saudi Aramco is optimising well designs that maximise reservoir contact to 10 km, enhancing production and recovery from deeper and tighter sections of the reservoir.
Second, during 2014, major construction of the new NGL (natural gas liquids) recovery plant was 96 per cent complete. The NGL facilities are expected to help Aramco meet increasing demand for petrochemical feedstock by recovering valuable NGL from produced gas. NGL production is projected to begin in the second quarter of 2015.
The project also includes a major upgrade to increase the plant's power generation capacity to more than 1 gigawatt by installing four cogeneration units, seven simple-cycle units, and a 50-km, 230- kilovolt transmission line. By July 2017, after the introduction of two steam turbine generators, the total power generation capacity at Shaybah will exceed 1.3 gigawatts.
Natural gas is a critical component of its strategies to help reduce the kingdom's reliance on liquid fuel for power generation and to provide the foundation for further economic growth and diversification.
The year 2014 also witnessed major progress in its ability to expand natural gas production with the construction of its Wasit Gas Plant, one of the largest nonassociated gas plants Saudi Aramco has ever built. At year-end, construction was 91 per cent complete and the plant is scheduled for start-up in 2015.
At full capacity, Wasit's integrated facilities will process 2.5 bscfd of nonassociated gas from offshore fields. The plant also includes one fractionation module designed to process 240,000 bpd of NGL. The cogeneration facility at the plant, also scheduled to start up in 2015, will have the capacity to generate 750 megawatts of electricity, making the plant self-sufficient in power with the excess delivered to other company facilities.
Most of the Wasit Programme required innovative project execution strategies. Saudi Aramco deployed its Event Solution Centre to accelerate the project development cycle by bringing together multidisciplinary experts. This integrated model drives new work processes and technologies to produce assessments that give its managers increased clarity and the ability to achieve significant cost and schedule savings.
Aramco ... drilling for non-associated gas
One outcome of this approach was the deployment of "big bore" well completions. These high-capacity wells are capable of producing at very high rates. This tactic significantly reduced the production cost and provides greater production flexibility to meet demand.
The Midyan Gas Plant in the Tabuk region is its first such project in the kingdom's northwest. The Midyan field, discovered in the early 1990s during Red Sea coastal plain exploration, was studied to identify ways to optimise economic production. Work on the plant commenced in 2013 and the facility is scheduled to be fully operational by the end of 2016. Midyan is designed to produce and process 75 million scfd of nonassociated gas and 4,500 bpd of condensate. At year-end 2014, engineering for the gas processing facility was 93 per cent complete while procurement and construction activities reached 62 per cent and 8 per cent complete, respectively.
The Midyan project will include the establishment of two pipelines stretching 98 km to deliver sales gas and stabilised hydrocarbon liquids to the Saudi Electricity Company's high-efficiency solar thermal power plant near Duba to generate electricity. The feed from Midyan to the plant will displace the use of high-value diesel. In its early phase, the Fadhili Gas Plant will process 2.5 bscfd from onshore and offshore fields and is on track to come on-stream by 2019.
Drilling for nonassociated gas to supply the plant commenced in 2014 and Saudi Aramco issued the final project proposal in preparation for the detailed design phase during 2015. Together, its Wasit, Midyan, and Fadhili gas plants will add more than 5 bscfd of nonassociated gas processing capacity, further enabling opportunities in Saudi industries such as steel, aluminum, and petrochemicals; water desalination plants; electricity production; and downstream value-added industries to produce antifreeze, solvent, fuels, and other advanced materials.
The company's operations take place across a range of operating environments and span great distances. To help Aramco manage its resources from the wellhead to the customer, Saudi Aramco relies on a wide variety of support services from organisations throughout the company.
For example, its new marine logistics operational model reduced rig turnaround time by 65 per cent, driving down costs and raising efficiency. The company's Marine organisation also procured 16 new platform support vessels, improving the flow of materials and supplies to drilling platforms in the offshore Manifa field.

What can parents do when
they fear the freedom of their children?
Blessed Fr. Epiphanios Theodoropoulos of Athens, Greece (+1989):
Speak more to God about your children than to your children about God…. The soul of the teenager is in a state of an explosion of freedom. For this reason he has a hard time accepting various counsels. So, rather than counseling him continuously and reproaching him now and again, leave the situation to Christ, to the Holy Virgin Mary the Mother of God and to the Saints, asking them to bring him to reason.

Kenneth Sniffen
Being born and raised on Maui, I went to Maui Community College and graduated with an Associate Degree in Culinary Arts. After graduation, I completed the American Culinary Federation Apprentice program and began my culinary career right here at The Ritz-Carlton in Kapalua. Through much hard work and dedication I was able to advance in the kitchen and eventually had the opportunity to work under renowned Chef Dean Fearing at The Ritz-Carlton, Dallas. After working with Chef Fearing for many years, I was promoted to Corporate Executive Sous Chef for The Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company to help culinary operations across North America and the Caribbean. During that time, I traveled and cooked around the globe for 14 years, before returning back to where it all began at The Ritz-Carlton, Kapalua.
Was there someone in your family that had a large influence on you in the kitchen?
My mother definitely has a large influence on me in the kitchen. She would always bring me into her kitchen to help her bake Pipinola (Hawaiian pear squash) pie, make fresh Lilikoi (passion fruit) cider and many other dishes that my family loved. Cooking with my mother was something I loved to do. She taught me a lot and as a reward for helping her, she would let me taste the dishes we created together before anyone else.
What was your fondest memory as a child that helped shape your culinary career?
My father was a very talented fisherman. I remember as a dock boy we would catch Aku (Bonita) together on the boat. We loved making home-made dry fish, diving for Tako (octopus) off of the coast of Maui and preparing poke for my ohana (family). Being able to fish and cook with my family is definitely one of my fondest childhood memories.
Where and when did you discover your love for the culinary arts?
I discovered my love for cooking from my family. My dad is Hawaiian and my grandparents are from Portugal and they introduced me to fishing, gardening and cooking when I was very young. I remember playing and working in the small orchard that my grandparents owned. They put me to work feeding the rabbits and chickens, picking weeds and raking leaves. I spent a lot of time in their orchard, working and playing and enjoyed the responsibilities they gave me. That responsibility helped instill a solid foundation of gardening knowledge that I still draw from today in my cooking style.
What is your culinary viewpoint?
My goal is to create unforgettable experiences through dishes I discovered during my travels and using only the highest quality ingredients. I do this by sourcing fresh, local produce, Hawaiian coastal seafood and exotic herbs and chilies from the organic, sustainable onsite garden at our hotel. I believe food is a global gift that comes from the heart. It brings people together through good times and hard times. The more love and care you put into a dish, the more impactful and memorable your food will be.

By Tom Lysemose Hansen, Founder of Promon
Biometric technology has begun to establish a foothold in the UK banking sector at a time when the banks are only beginning to map the essential contours of cyber security risk for established technologies. Banks have recently pioneered the software on mobile banking applications in the form of bypassing the two-step verification process for a one step fingerprint identification method, which has been lauded as having benefits in terms of security and convenience.
Initial indications would suggest that consumers have been quick to adopt the technology, however public dialogue on the efficacy of its deterrence on cyber criminals is limited, as is the literature on application security that surrounds it. The onus is now on the banks to ensure they do not find themselves woefully ill-equipped to deal with the ever-changing vectors of cyber fraud. In a recent report Gartner has predicted that 75 per cent of mobile applications will fail the most basic security tests in 2015, so it is pertinent that the banking industry adopt a security led approach that does not weaken security in favour of user convenience.
Removing the two step security process in favour of fingerprint identification certainly does not eliminate the issue of malware compromising the banking app as the malware simply waits for the user to complete the two-factor authentication process or fingerprint identification before taking over the application to compromise the transaction and user details thereby jeopardising customer confidential data.
Firms and developers need to fully appreciate the environment in which mobile applications run. The days of deploying an insecure poorly developed app are gone as apps are now operating in a high threat environment we all know as the internet.
Many financial institutions are currently spending substantial amounts of money on central security systems, and spending far too little time on securing the customer's identity on mobile phones or PCs and they need to start taking action to protect their apps used by their customers.
The financial industry should adopt proactive solutions to stop malware attacks before they do any harm, this can be done without changing the customer experience. User protection must focus on app vulnerabilities rather than threats to ensure a safe mobile banking experience, even on devices that have been previously compromised. The implementation of self-defending apps is one that can provide an integrated, dedicated and secure solution for the end user to the perils of cyber crime.
The new approach should be whitelist based and one where the burden of responsibility is shared at the app level, moving responsibility from the device user to the app provider, likely to be a financial institution. Furthermore, banks need to broaden their perception of security, which has often been seen as too narrowly linked to money fraud. A wider all encompassing approach that includes sensitive personal information handled within the app would leave banks well positioned to stop damaging malware attacks now and in the future.
Additionally, in today's environment the security architecture of mobile devices does not work well with traditional mechanisms like anti-virus, so it is pertinent to implement further security features at the app level. Ideally apps should be self-defending to withstand the hazards of cyber crime. With the adoption of this approach the attack is blocked by the application itself, and the application continues to operate securely which creates a balance of user friendliness with strong security protection.
Gone are the times when firms could afford to leave security as a mere afterthought in software manufacturing. It is becoming an increasingly important concern during development as applications become more accessible over networks and consequently become vulnerable to a wider variety of threats. Security measures built into applications will go some way to offset the risks against stealing, or modifying sensitive data, which can have a negative effect upon users. As technology matures the institutions should not simply prioritise the chance to give consumers the simplest form of access to their finances, but rather should offer the most secure banking experience.
A synchronised and prevention led approach by both financial institutions and developers can prove invaluable in the battle against crime on the mobile platform and offers the chance to circumvent a vicious cycle where money gained from fraud is reinvested in malware tools, further strengthening their arsenal and their revenues.

|Volume Thirteen Manga Summary
|Shonan Junai Gumi: VOLUME 13
|Chapter 108: "Kiyoma the Psychic" Samehara and Haramurata arrive at Tsujido High looking for Makoto. They are confronted by Kamata and Saejima, who challenges the intruders. They are interrupted by a Tsujido High student that only Samehara recognises as Kiyoma, a third year. A gust of wind starts up as Kiyoma challenges Samehara to a fight, which scares him and he leaves with Haramurata, surprising Kamata and Saejima. Later, they ask Tsukai, who also has no idea who Kiyoma is. They are approached by a third year named Moro Hiro, who introduces himself as the president of the Supernatural Research Society. He reveals that Kiyoma is a psychic with strong supernatural powers and tells them about an incident in the past in which some boys who went after Kiyoma all got hospitalised a week later with unknown causes. Other stories say that Kiyoma is connected to many unexplained occurrences. Moro tells them to be careful and offers to show them proof. Later, Moro, Tsukai, Saejima and Kamata watch Kiyoma in class. Some girls walk past Kiyoma and a sudden gust of wind enters the classroom. Kiyoma utters "white", referring to the girls' underwear color and Moro reveals that Kiyoma's power is wind. A group of guys confront Kiyoma and they are stopped in their tracks, with their shirt buttons flying off. Scared, they back off and Tsukai, Saejima and Kamata marvel at Kiyoma's powers. Later, the group follow Kiyoma down the street, hoping to get him to teach them his powers. They see some metal bars fall from the sky as Kiyoma passes a construction site and miraculously survives, with none of the bars hitting him. As the group tells Moro to introduce them, Kiyoma is approached by a group of bikers looking for trouble. Saejima stands up to defend Kiyoma and Kiyoma tells the bikers to back off. The bikers mock him and Kiyoma readies his attack. As everyone tries to back away, Kiyoma screams and the biker's shirt buttons start flying off. Realising that was all Kiyoma can do, Saejima punches Kiyoma in the face and Tsukai and Kamata turn against Moro. The bikers are speechless as they watch on.
Akutsu, Nagisa & Ryuji
Chapter 109: "I Want to Take Care of You"" At the juvenile hall, an officer assures Matsushima that Akutsu has been a model prisoner. With only three days until his release, Matsushima surmises that something will definitely happen and Shonan won't stay quiet for long. Inside his cell, Akutsu smiles and looks forward to his release. At Yoko's apartment, Ryuji wakes up and Nagisa cooks him breakfast. Later at Denny's, Ryuji tells Eikichi not to worry about Akutsu and that he will take care of Nagisa. Eikichi asks an embarassed Ryuji if he's done it and Ryuji realises that he's been living with Nagisa for four days without making a move. Ryuji declares that he hasn't even seen Nagisa's underwear and Eikichi offers to lend him his blowup doll for practice. Later, Ryuji browses a magazine article about girls losing their virginity and he realises that he didn't even think about sex in those four days. He starts fantasizing about Nagisa and is interrupted by Yoko, who catches him with the magazine. Yoko offers Ryuji advice and Ryuji explains his situation. Yoko tells him that girls don't like timid guys and that she's been coming home late every night for a reason. She informs him that she will leave them alone for a whole day and that Nagisa won't wait forever. That night, Ryuji and Nagisa get into bed. A confused Ryuji tries to make his move, he accidentally touches her chest but realises that Nagisa is asleep. As he goes in for a second touch, he gets interrupted by Yoko. Nagisa wakes up and Yoko starts laughing and leaves, stating that she wants a full report the next day. Later, Ryuji goes to rent some adult videos and gets interrupted by Nagisa, who asks him where he ran off to so late at night. He drops his bag, revealing his adult videos. Later, the couple sleep in bed and a worried Ryuji surmises that his chance is over. To his surprise, Nagisa asks him if he wants to do it with her and states that she is willing. The two reveal that it will be their first time and they are interrupted by fireworks outside. The two watch the fireworks in each other's arms and Ryuji declares that he will get rid of Yasha for her, even if it means taking out Akutsu. In Yoko's room, her boyfriend asks her why she is videotaping her brother in the next room.
|Chapter 110: "The Day of Resurrection" At Cafe Laluna, a silent Kamishima sits with his men and two students with a Midnight Angel sticker on their bag walks in. This provokes Kamishima and the two students explain that someone gave it to them as a gift. An angry Kamishima demands that they bring him that person. Elsewhere, Akutsu gets released. Ryuji, Nagisa, Eikichi and Shinomi arrive at a crowdy Katase Beach and Eikichi informs Shinomi of Nagisa's split personality, stating that they should have some fun before Yasha resurfaces. The two couples play a game of volleyball and Shinomi surmises that there must be a certain switch that brings out Yasha. As the game progresses, Eikichi tries various tactics to bring out Yasha, without success and gets beaten down by an angry Ryuji each time. Nagisa asks an embarassed Shinomi if she is Eikichi's girlfriend and she quickly denies it. Eikichi sneaks up on Nagisa and grabs her chest in another attempt to bring out Yasha and gets beaten down by Shinomi. After a day at the beach, the two couples head home, with Eikichi still wondering what the switch is. He rides by Nagisa and Ryuji, who hastily tells him to turn down his engine. All of a sudden, Ryuji gets hit by Nagisa and she runs off and Eikichi realises that the engine noise is the trigger. Nagisa bumps into Akutsu, who tells Yasha that it's been a while. Yasha happily embraces Akutsu and Ryuji catches up to her.
|Chapter 111: "Akutsu Junya" Eikichi catches up to Ryuji and sees Nagisa and Akutsu. Akutsu and Nagisa walk off together and Ryuji recognises Akutsu from his eyes. Ryuji runs after Akutsu and is stopped by two officers who arrive to take Akutsu home. As Akutsu gets driven away with Nagisa, an angry Ryuji jumps on a policeman's bike and riders off in pursuit, declaring that he won't hand over Nagisa. Eikichi rides after Ryuji and knocks him off his bike, stating that he can't let Ryuji go after Akutsu without backup. The Oni-baku are watched by two guys. Later, at Cafe Laluna, the two guys report to Kamishima, stating that they saw Akutsu. Kamishima slams one of the guys, Ishizuka, onto the table and calls a meeting to deal with Akutsu. Elsewhere, Yasha opens a garage locker containing a Kawasaki FX-ZII and tells Akutsu that she kept it for him, dreaming of the day they can ride together again. Yasha asks him if he will make his triumphant return now and Akutsu tells her he needs to make a stop first. At the hospital, Takada informs the other third generation leaders of Akutsu's return and tells them to round up some men to go meet Akutsu, stating that they owe it to Masaki. Later, the four third generation leaders walk down the street and is ambushed by Akutsu. Akutsu recognises Doboku Kazuo as the vice head of the third generation. One of the leaders charge and gets knocked back with a metal bar. Later, two third generation Midnight Angel guys head to the hospital to visit Takada and they come across the four beaten down third generation leaders. They are ambushed by Akutsu. Sometime later, Matsushima receives reports from the Katase Division police about the six bloody youths and he surmises that Akutsu is responsible. Elsewhere, the Midnight Angel assemble and Yasha asks Akutsu if he found what he was looking for. He tells her no, but he will find it in order to make his legend happen. At home, Ryuji prepares to leave and apologises to Eikichi, stating that this is the only way for him.
Chapter 112: "Blow Out City (Part 1)" More police reports on more beaten youths flood in, while Ryuji heads out to find Akutsu. Elsewhere, Akutsu, Yasha and the Midnight Angel ride through the city, wreaking destruction and pileups everywhere. Akutsu declares that he will show the town that Midnight Angel isn't dead, just resting. He states that no one can stop him from becoming a legend tonight. Tsukai calls Eikichi to inform him that Ryuji slipped out when he and Kamata went to eat during their stakeout outside Ryuji's place. Eikichi tells Tsukai to round up some guys for backup and leaves to go after the Midnight Angel. The Midnight Angel heads for Yokohama and they are confronted by Ryuji. Ryuji declares that he will take Nagisa back from Akutsu and charges at the Midnight Angel. Elsewhere, a traffic jam prevents drivers from moving forward. They are interrupted by a mad Kamishima, who rides over the cars on his bike and heads towards Akutsu. He declares to Akutsu that he has waited long for this day and Akutsu surmises that he might have to set Kamishima on fire again. Ryuji tells Kamishima to back off and Kamishima charges at Ryuji. They are interrupted by Katsuyuki and the K. T. Butai, who have come to backup Ryuji. Tamura states that he missed Katsuyuki, who challenges him. A massive three way battle royale between the Midnight Angel, the Kamukura Massacre Unit and the K. T. Butai ensues. Kamishima charges at Akutsu and Ryuji declares that Akutsu belongs to him. He is interrupted by Yasha, who tells him that she will kill anyone who gets in Akutsu's way.
|Chapter 113: "Blow Out City (Part 2)" The police arrive in Hiratsuka City, District 14 and witness a full scale gang fight. Ryuji tries to bring Nagisa back from an attacking Yasha. Despite his efforts, Yasha continues to attack Ryuji and declares that Akutsu is the one she loves. Kamishima swings his bat at Akutsu, who easily dodges the attacks and slams Kamishima through a glass window. Kamishima gets back up and continues his attack. Tamura runs towards Akutsu to help Kamishima but is pulled back by Katsuyuki, who states that he is Tamura's opponent and knocks him down. The police watch on, stunned, unable to do anything. As Yasha charges at Ryuji, they are interrupted by a large police tank. The police command the gangs to stop fighting and the gangs attack the tank. One of the gang members are knocked back by a man who steps out of the tank, recognised by the other gang members as Enatsu from the second unit. Enatsu commands the police to capture every last one of the gangs as they quickly disperse, realising that the police has bought in their heavy duty officers. Akutsu jumps on his bike and quickly shakes off Kamishima. He tells Yasha to quickly get rid of Enatsu and hands her a knife. She approaches Enatsu and attempts to stab him, but is interrupted by Ryuji, who punches her in the stomach. Yasha falls and Ryuji knocks Enatsu down to shut him up. Ryuji picks an unconscious Nagisa up and declares that Akutsu is a bastard for making him to that to Nagisa. Elsewhere, Kamishima chases Akutsu, who causes a police car to crash into Kamishima and turn over his bike. Akutsu declares that no one can stop him until it's just between him and Masaki. Eikichi and Tsukai arrive to see the aftermath as the gang members are arrested. Elsewhere, Kamishima escapes the accident scene and pursues after Akutsu on foot.
|Chapter 114: "The Coat of Legend (Part 1)" Kamishima declares that Akutsu won't escape, stating that he won't forget the pain Akutsu caused him. Elsewhere, Midnight Angel bikers on the run from the police stop a gas station and demand the attendant to quickly fill up their tank. The attendent knocks them off their bikes, removing his cap and revealing himself to be the second generation leader, Nakajo. He chides Akutsu for stirring up trouble. At Yoko's apartment, Yoko questions Ryuji on why Nagisa is tied up. Ryuji, Eikichi, Tsukai, Saejima and Katsuyuki reflect on what has happened. At the police station, Enatsu beats up his captives, demanding to know who is leading the fights. Back at Yoko's apartment, the group decides what to do and Ryuji states that he has to help Nagisa regardless, as he made a promise to Nagisa to help her. He approaches Yasha and kisses her, bringing Nagisa for a split second, but is kicked away by Yasha. Despite everyone's protest, Ryuji rides off to find Akutsu. As an angry Eikichi states that he won't help Ryuji and storms off. Tsukai, Saejima and Katsuyuki are interrupted by a man who states that even the great Oni-baku falls to pieces in the face of Akutsu. Saejima confronts the man but is stopped by Tsukai, who recognises the man as Nakajo. Nakajo tells Tsukai it has been a while and reassures them that he is no longer part of the gang scene, stating that he is only a spectator. Tsukai asks Nakajo for help, who declines and states that he is the type to stand by and take out the survivor. He reveals to a surprised Tsukai that Akutsu is looking for something that belongs to the Oni-baku in order to become a true leader and that particular item happened to be one of the reasons for the Shonan War. At a mechanic garage, Takada informs Yamagishi Akira, another third generation leader, of Akutsu's actions over the phone. Yamagisha is interrupted by Akutsu, who states that Yamagisha should know where the item he is after is. We cut back to Nakajo, who tells Tsukai that the item that Akutsu is after is Masaki's coat, which was inherited by the Oni-baku.
|Chapter 115: "The Coat of Legend (Part 2)" Yamagishi lies squashed under the car as Akutsu asks him about Masaki's coat. Elsewhere, Nakajo reveals that in addition to Akutsu, Kamishima and himself are also after the coat. He informs the trio that after the Oni-baku take down Akutsu, they still have to deal with Nakajo. At the mechanic garage, Takada finds a bloodied Yamagish, who tells him that Akutsu is really after the coat. They are interrupted by Akutsu, who states that he is the coat's rightful owner. Takada charges at Akutsu but is easily knocked down. Takada states that wearing the coat doesn't make Akutsu a great leader like Masaki. Takada informs Akutsu that the Oni-baku are not to be taken lightly and Akutsu states that he's prepared to do anything, even start another Shonan War. Akutsu stabs Takada in the leg with a knife and kicks him down. He declares that all gangs will be under him within one month and leaves. Elsewhere, Tsukai and Saejima are unable to contact Eikichi and decide to go find Ryuji. As Saejima goes around asking for Ryuji, he is approached by Akutsu, who tells a surprised Saejima that he is also looking for Ryuji. Elsewhere, Tsukai and Katsuyuki find Ryuji, who is questioning a Midnight Angel member about Akutsu's wherebouts. Later, Tsukai and Katsuyuki inform Ryuji about Akutsu's search for Masaki's coat. They are interrupted by shouts from Saejima. They rush to his aid and Saejima reveals that he was ambushed by a man who took Yoko's phone number off Saejima. They quickly rush towards Yoko's apartment, only to find it completely trashed and Yoko lying under the pile of rubble. Yoko tells Ryuji that some strange guy took Nagisa. They are interrupted by Akutsu, who challenges Ryuji to a fight where the winner claims Masaki's coat. Akutsu tells Ryuji to come to Enoshima Gate at midnight and an angry Ryuji agrees.
|Chapter 116: "Punch-Out Night!!" Akutsu tells Ryuji to say goodbye to the coat and leaves. Later, Tsukai and Katsuyuki ask Ryuji if he really is going to show and Ryuji tells them not to tell Eikichi as he will take care of everything. At the hospital, Takada tries to leave hospital despite the doctor's instructions, stating that he needs to tell someone something. He is interrupted by the police, who informs him that he is under investigation and orders him to go back to his room. At the beach, Shinomi and her friend, Akemi, arrive to tan themselves. They are interrupted by Eikichi, who grabs Shinomi's chest and gets knocked down. She asks him what of Akutsu and Eikichi tells her that Akutsu doesn't concern him. Eikichi grabs the two girls away to have some fun and surmises that Ryuji can handle himself. Elsewhere, Tsukai and Katsuyuki wonder if they should tell Eikichi. Katsuyuki decides to call the K. T. Butai to backup Ryuji and they are interrupted by an eavesdropper, who demands them to tell him everything. At home, Ryuji grabs Masaki's coat and leaves for Enoshima Gate. To his surprise, Ryuji is confronted by Saejima, Kamata, Tsukai and Katsuyuki, who tell him that they will back him up in case Akutsu plays dirty. At the hospital, Takada shakes off the police by giving them falses excuses. Later, he overhears some Midnight Angel members talking about Akutsu's plan to take out the Oni-baku. In panic, Takada escapes by jumping out of the window from the fourth floor. He injures his leg and hobbles off to inform Ryuji of Akutsu's plans. At Enoshima Gate, Akutsu and the Midnight Angel wait in the dark. Elsewhere, Ryuji, Saejima, Kamata, Tsukai and Katsuyuki wait for Akutsu. They are approached by Kamishima, who clashes with Saejima, and the Kamakura Massacre Unit. Tamura confronts Katsuyuki and Kamishima charges at Ryuji, stating that Akutsu belongs to him. As Ryuji and Kamata realise that they were set up, the two side charge at each other. Elsewhere, Akutsu give the police an anonymous tip about gang violence at Enoshima Gate. He tells Yasha that everything is in place for everyone to take each other out.

Are you dealing with sagging skin or excessive wrinkles that make you look older than you feel? With a facelift at Roger T. Brill, MD, in Gainesville, Florida, you can get a more youthful, rejuvenated appearance and feel like yourself again. Both surgical and minimally invasive facelifts are available to help you achieve your aesthetic goals. Call or schedule a consultation online today to learn about your options.
A facelift surgery lifts sagging, wrinkled skin to restore a more youthful, smooth appearance to your face and jawline. As you age, the muscles of your face become weak — causing sagging and the appearance of jowls along your jaw.
Repetitive muscle contractions can also cause deep wrinkles in the forehead between your eyebrows and around your eyes and mouth. If you've tried over-the-counter creams, injections, and chemical peels without seeing good results, a facelift may be your solution.
Dr. Roger Brill offers traditional facelifts and minimally invasive FaceTite radiofrequency-assisted procedures. Depending on the condition of your skin and your aesthetic goals, Dr. Brill recommends the best procedure to meet your needs.
Your age and overall health can be factors in determining whether FaceTite is best for you, e.g., if you are younger or want to avoid a complex surgery. However, if you want a more dramatic change in your appearance or have more extensive health concerns, Dr. Brill may recommend a traditional facelift.
With a traditional surgical facelift, Dr. Brill performs either a mini-facelift or standard facelift. A mini-facelift is best if you have mild signs of sagging and jowling, whereas a standard facelift is best for moderate to severe signs of aging and sagging.
During either procedure, you may be under generalized or local anesthesia, depending on the extent of the procedure. Dr. Brill makes incisions along your hairline and behind your ears to carefully separate your skin from the underlying muscles and connective tissues.
Dr. Brill then gently smoothes your skin upwards to reduce sagging, jowls, and wrinkles. Your facial skin is then reattached surgically along your hairline and behind your ears.
FaceTite is a minimally invasive procedure that uses a thin, plastic-tipped wand inserted under your skin to apply radiofrequency waves to tighten skin and contour areas of sagging. This procedure typically uses a local anesthetic, so you can stay awake without feeling pain during the procedure.
Since FaceTite works on small, delicate areas, it utilizes a tiny internal wand that allows for less swelling and bruising after a treatment and a shorter recovery time than traditional facelifts.
If you're tired of sagging skin on your face and jawline, or simply want a more youthful appearance, schedule a consultation with Dr. Brill to discuss your treatment options.

According to the online newpaper Zerkalo Nedeli (Weekly Mirror), the whole scheme is simple: defense enterprises get 100 percent down payment on contracts and corrupt Defense Ministry officials extend the deadlines for contracts that are never implemented.
As a result, the enterprises do not meet their contractual obligations and avoid sanctions. In the meantime, the state funds are used in outside deals lining the pockets of the organizers of these criminal schemes.
They remit the money to sub-contractors — fictitious enterprises existing on paper only. Laundered through these one-off firms, the money ends up in the bank accounts of physical persons and is redeemed.
"The thing is, any kind of state activity in Ukraine is imitation meant to cover up criminal schemes enriching government officials and everyone else involved in the process," political analyst Alexander Asafov told RT.
He added that such schemes were nothing new as they have been used since former President Leonid Kuchma's second term in office.
Ersatz Armor
In the rare cases when they are forced to implement their contracts, Ukrainian defense enterprises supply the country's military with faulty hardware.
In 2014, the Defense Ministry paid almost 30 million hryvnas ($1.3 million) to Ukrinmash for the purchase of foreign-made SpyArrowe drones. The company took a whole 18 months to supply the drones many of which proved unable to fly.
A tank factory in Kiev tried to pocket some of the money it received from the state by saving on armor quality. Instead of using bullet-resisting steel they supplied their APC's with one that could be easily punctured.
In another case of large-scale theft of public funds the Kharkiv Design Bureau of Mechanical Engineering supplied 219 million hryvnas' worth of armored vehicles ($9.4 million), all of which were immediately found to be unfit for service.
The list of such criminal schemes goes on.
"What we see is an imitation of the country's military potential. As a result, the weapons now pose a deadly threat to the very people who are supposed to use them," People's Diplomacy Fund expert Vladimir Kireyev told RT.
"Yatsenyuk's Wall"
"The most beautiful corruption scheme is the so-called 'European Wall' or 'Yatsenyuk's Wall,' which costs Ukrainian taxpayers very, very dearly," Alexander Asafov said.
Many experts wonder how so much money could have been spent to erect a simple fence with a metal mesh.
According to Fatherland party leader and former Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko, President Petro Poroshenko is the main beneficiary of the corruption schemes in the country defense-industrial complex.
"The war goes on because Poroshenko and his inner circle use it to make money. They are covering up the insane corruption in Ukraine and this is exactly why people hate the government," Tymoshenko said during a news briefing in June.

Already known as the local Australian dealership for Sea Ray and some of the Beneteau brands, Sydney-based Chapman Marine Group continues to actively target the boating lifestyle by expanding its portfolio of brands of smaller craft.
At the Sydney International Boat Show 2018 (SIBS), the company is not only showing new models for its existing brands but also announced representation for two new European brands. They the Flipper and Falcon console boats manufactured in Finland. These like some of the other models the group markets are small trailer boats. Both brands produce small day cruiser boats. Falcon is owned by Bella Group which Chapmen also represents and it is part owned by Brunswick and has a strong engine partnership with Mercury.
Talking about its participation at SIBS, Mark Chapman, managing director of the group, commented: "We launched the new Beneteau Antares 9 twin outboard motor cruiser, which is a brand-new model, along with the Antares 7 and 8 and the Barracuda 8 fishing machine. We are also presenting two new brands from Europe, the Falcon and Flipper Sports console boats."
Falcon has a range of four models while Flipper offers three series of craft including day cruisers, sports top and sports console. Within these three series it offers nine models.
In respect of Sea Ray, Chapman Marine is displaying 11 models at SIBS with new Australian releases being the 250 SDX Outboard and Sterndrive models, the new 230 SPX, new SLX 310 and the 290 SDX Sundeck with Twin Merc Verado 250hp engines.
A new player launching into the Australian market at SIBS is the Greek-based RIB maker Ribco. Through its new company Ribco Australia, the company is exhibiting its range of performance RIBS including the Venom 44, Seafarer 36 and the 28ST with a two-stepped hull.
Commenting on this new market entry, Oliver Workman, who heads up Ribco Australia, said: "These rigid hull, inflatable vessels have graduated from being humble yet head-turning tenders, into sought-after stand-alone performance and luxury boats in their own right. With the ever-growing demand for genuinely offshore capable luxury RIBs in Australia, the Ribco range of vessels are perfectly positioned to enter as the most seaworthy, versatile and well-built luxury performance RIBs available in the market today."
He emphasised this by indicating that the Venom 44 has Category B CE certification and is built in 2C Survey, capable of voyages 200Nm offshore with a 12-person capacity. The Seafarer 36 is a more compact alternative to the Venom 44, offering the same level of performance in a 10.5m vessel, while the 28ST offers superior speed, efficiency and performance due to the stepped hull.
Another new dealership announced at SIBS is Marina Bayside, based in NSW, taking on a distributorship for Stacer boats, an Australian trailer boat manufacturer based on the Gold Coast. Stacer has recently undertaken a sizeable revamp of its range including its new Revolution hull design.
Marina Bayside operates a modern 10,000sq m facility at Taren Point, NSW, where it also represents other brands including Yamaha. The company will serve the large Sydney market and other boating centres in NSW.

For many years BALL Fake Watches UK has focused its research and development strategy on improving the anti-magnetic protection of its mechanical watches. The briefest of contacts with an artificial magnet may be enough to magnetize an automatic movement and cause the complete stoppage of the mechanism. According to accepted standards in watchmaking, an automatic watch is deemed "anti-magnetic" when its operation can resist a magnetic field of at least 4,800A/m without its accuracy being subsequently affected by more than 30 seconds per day.
The A-PROOF® device is a completely new approach to the protection of a mechanical movement. The preservation of the workings of a Rolex Replica watches caliber requires it to be enclosed in a casing that protects against the influence of magnetic fields. BALL Watch equips its antimagnetic models with specially constructed stainless steel cases which resist ferrite corrosion. Until now, the anti-magnetic casing has taken the form of a soft iron inner structure, consisting of a rear plate and a ring surrounding the movement and the dial. Soft iron, reinforced by the shape of the inner case, channels the magnetic fields and prevents them from entering the movement. This process helped endow the most highly-developed BALL timepieces with anti-magnetic protection guaranteed for up to 12,000A/m.
The A-PROOF® device is based on cutting-edge developments in terms of both materials and construction. BALL Watch has carefully selected mumetal – a material never before used in watchmaking – for the development of its new anti-magnetic protection device. Mumetal is an alloy of nickel, iron, copper and molybdenum with very high magnetic permeability, which enables it to attract and deviate static or low-frequency magnetic field lines.
In addition to this revolutionary new material, BALL Watch Company engineers sought to bypass the constant imprisonment of the movement in an anti-magnetic cage which renders the caliber mechanism of a Omega Replica watch equipped with a transparent background invisible. The solution: a diaphragm mechanism that extends or retracts at will by simple circular motion of the bezel. In the fully closed position, the diaphragm locks the mumetal anti-magnetic protection cage. In the retracted position, the diaphragm disappears to reveal the movement at work through the transparent case back of the Engineer II Magneto S.
The Engineer II Magneto S boasts a powerful and striking look with its case in stainless steel and a robust 42mm diameter, with a thickness of 12.5mm, its black dial, the green circle on the flange – the corporate color of the BALL brand – and its chiseled bezel.
The basic hours, minutes, seconds and date functions are ensured by a BALL RR1103-CSL caliber, COSC-certified. The Engineer II Magneto S is equipped with BALL's patented SpringLOCK® system that guarantees the accuracy of the movement upon heavy shock impact.
One of the company's guiding principles is that a watch should be easy to read both by day and by night. In order to ensure perfect time reading with its mechanical watches even in total darkness, BALL Watch Company uses cutting-edge Swiss technology involving the capture of H3 luminescent gas inside glass micro-tubes on all its models. This technology is a hundred times more powerful than other methods of lighting commonly used in watchmaking.
The watch's qualities are rounded off by a screwedin crown, an anti-reflective sapphire crystal, water-resistance to 100 meters and a shock resistance of 5,000Gs.

This is the problem that scares me the most about our country's current state of affairs. We can all argue about how to fight terrorism and extremism all we want, but it's hard to do that from a place of bankruptcy or where China is our national banker.
The last 6 years have been nothing short of an abject fiscal train wreck, with our national government spending uncontrolled and unmonitored amounts of my children's future earnings and tax dollars.
On financial matters, our country is being destroyed for short term political gain. This must change, and the only ones who can do it are the voters.
Vote for change in 10 days. The future of our nation depends on it.
Photo from the AP of GAO Comptroller General David Walker
(USA Today/AP) AUSTIN — David Walker sure talks like he's running for office. "This is about the future of our country, our kids and grandkids," the comptroller general of the United States warns a packed hall at Austin's historic Driskill Hotel. "We the people have to rise up to make sure things get changed."
But Walker doesn't want, or need, your vote this November. He already has a job as head of the Government Accountability Office, an investigative arm of Congress that audits and evaluates the performance of the federal government.
Basically, that makes Walker the nation's accountant-in-chief. And the accountant-in-chief's professional opinion is that the American public needs to tell Washington it's time to steer the nation off the path to financial ruin.

Recently i faced a problem on a SCCM 2012 R2 Primary site were SCCM & SQL was installed on a single server. The Server was having 2 drives C (60 GB) & D (200 GB) & SCCM was installed on C Drive soon this drive started filling up. Now, the best was to increase the free space in the drive was to move SCCM DP on another drive i.e. D.
The process of moving a SQL database is fairly simple :-
1. Stop the SCCM Services.
2. Detach SCCM Databse.
3. Move SCCM Database to another drive.
4. Attach the Database from the new location.
5. Restart SCCM Service.
But, even after the successful completion of above steps when you try to create an Application package or Software update group the process fails.
Let's first discuss the DB move process (from one drive to another) and then we will move to the troubleshooting part.
DB Move :-
1. Stop the SCCM Services.
You can go to services & turn off SMS services or open command prompt with admin rights & go to following location :-
C:\Program files\Microsoft Configuration Manager\Bin\x64\00000409
Run the following command - Preinst.exe /STOPSITE
Let the command run after some time all SMS service will be stopped.
2. Detach SCCM Databse.
Once the services are stopped, open SQL Management studio, Right click on the SCCM DB goto task/Detach :-
Check Drop Connections & Update Statistics :-
Once the DB is detached it will be removed from SQL Management studio :-
3. Move SCCM Database to another drive.
Now go to C:\Program files\Microsoft SQL server\MSSQL11.MSSQLSERVE\MSSQL\DATA & Cut the SCCM DB MDF & LDF files :-
Paste it in your desired location :-
Now, the DB is in E Drive :-
4. Attach the Database from the new location.
Open SQLManagement Studio, Right click on Database & click on Attach :-
Click on Add :-
Browse to the new SCCM DB location, Select the DB & click on OK :-
Click on OK :-
5. Restart SCCM Service.
Restart the highlighted SCCM Services :-
After the the successful completion of the above process, when you try to create an Application Package or Software Update Group it fails with the following error :-
This is a known issue & Microsoft has released a KB describing this issue, here's the link
Follow these steps to resolve the issue :-
1. Run this command on the SCCM DB
ALTER DATABASE <ConfigMgr DB>SET TRUSTWORTHY ON
2. Check if SA account is the owner of SCCM DB.
3. Run this command to check if the Isolation level value is set to READ_COMMITTED_SNAPSHOT.
If the isolation value is not set to READ_COMMITTED_SNAPSHOT run the following command :-
ALTER DATABASE <ConfigMgr DB>
ALTER DATABASE <ConfigMgr DB>
