Throughout the month of April, Alfred State's Hinkle Memorial Library will be hosting "It's Out There," an exhibit of photographs that highlight the true beauty of nature and "what lies outside one's door."
According to the photographer, Kyle Reynolds, "It's Out There" includes a sampling of the wide-ranging subjects he has photographed over the past decade. Subjects include local shelter dogs, wildlife, plant life, and photography captured while trail running.
"I've learned that I often don't even know what I am missing," Reynolds said. "I go out and decide to explore and am amazed at what I didn't even realize I was missing out on. Adventures near and far open my eyes to new things. From mountain peaks, to my own back yard, my photography shows people what is out there so they can be inspired to go see it and experience it for themselves. I am portraying the simple joy of what lies outside one's door."
Reynolds noted that he has been creating photography for 19 years, and that his interest began with photographing wildlife.
"As the years have gone by, my photographic interests have expanded," he said. "I have photographed wildlife, domestic animals, scenic areas, flowers, people, events, and sports."
Reynolds has exhibited his artwork in galleries, published his work in magazines, shot portrait sessions, worked with community organizations to photograph events, and volunteered his skills at the local animal shelter.
"I am always looking for new and exciting ways to work with photography," he said. "In recent years, I have done a lot of photography around running. This year, I am working with the Tyoga Running Club in Tioga, PA, to create a photography project where I run their 100-mile race, The Pine Creek Challenge, which runs along the valley of the Pennsylvania Grand Canyon in the Wellsboro, PA, region, and document my experience."
The "It's Out There" exhibit is now open for viewing during normal library hours.

Stuart Macbeth talks to an award-winning Oxfordshire film and television producer
Producer Pippa Harris has enjoyed an illustrious career in film and television, winning more than 20 awards for her work which includes Call the Midwife, Penny Dreadful, Revolutionary Road, The Hollow Crown, Jarhead and Starter for Ten.
The 48-year-old former head of BBC drama commissioning co-founded Neal Street Productions with Sam Mendes in 2003, was named Producer of the Year in the 2013 Women in Film and Television awards, and has acted as adviser to the Liberal Democrats on the creative industries. In July this year, Pippa was appointed to chair BAFTA's Film Committee, and in August's Dissolution Honours she was made a dame.
It's a sturdy list of achievements for a local girl, who still reminisces fondly about her 1970s Eynsham childhood.
Pippa's family lived at the Old Brewhouse in the village's High Street. Pippa attended Eynsham First School and then Oxford High School winning a place in 1986 to read English at Robinson College in Cambridge.
At Cambridge, she dabbled in student drama productions alongside fellow undergraduate Sam Mendes who had been a friend since teenage years, kicking around in such enlightening Oxford institutions as the Lamb and Flag. "By the time I left Cambridge, I knew I wanted to work in either theatre or television. In the end I decided on television, just because I liked watching it. I know that sounds silly but, looking back, you have to really love it to get into it."
Applying for as many jobs in the industry as possible, Pippa secured a post as a receptionist for a small company who produced training films for clients including the post office and the Body Shop. Two years on she decided to focus on drama, and in 1991 she landed a script development job at Channel 4.
In the decade that followed, Pippa worked across all the major UK channels, contributing to Cranford and Bleak House for the BBC, Solider, Soldier for ITV and amassing production credits including BAFTA-winning drama The Way We Live Now. She became head of drama commissioning for the BBC in 2001, two years before deciding to branch out into production, founding Neal Street Productions with Sam Mendes.
In her role as executive producer, Pippa is probably best known for BBC period drama Call the Midwife, now in its fifth series: "The show took about three years to get on to the screen," she explains. "It all started with the memories of a lady called Jennifer Worth, who worked as a midwife in London's Docklands in the late 1950s. At first Sam considered adapting the memoirs into a film. But after a read through I realised it would make great TV.
"There was something very televisual about the way Jennifer Worth wrote about life. The book itself is very episodic, full of marvellous stories about illness and getting better.
"She created this incredible ensemble cast. They were partly based on real people, and partly fictionalised characters who were amalgams of people she had come across."
Pippa took the memoir to writer Heidi Thomas, who shaped the material into a TV series which quickly captured the public's imagination.
"What was odd is that it was an overnight hit. The very first episode got eight million viewers, which for a new TV show is extraordinary. There was just something about the combination of medicine, social history and nurses that appealed to a broad cross-section of people.
"We had a couple of names in the cast such as Pam Ferris and Jenny Agutter to draw people in. But almost everyone else was virtually unknown. It's quite tough to launch something with an unknown cast, but it does have its benefits; an audience will have no preconceptions, and people really like to see new faces. If you watch a lot of TV there are certain actors who will pop up again and again."
So what can we expect from the Christmas special?
"There's a mixture of laughter and tears, and a very emotional story at the heart of it about a bereaved mother coming to terms with a baby she had lost years before. There's a lot of comedy too, and edge of your seat tension. I can't say any more."
Among Pippa's more recent ventures is BBC Two's BAFTA winning The Hollow Crown for which she is she also executive producer. Based on the Shakespeare history plays, a second series is about to launch starring Benedict Cumberbatch, Hugh Bonneville, Judi Dench and Michael Gambon, and Pippa is hugely excited about the prospect of these further series.
"While I was growing up in the 1970s, BBC Shakespeare productions were one of the things that got me excited about drama," she tells me.
"It's incredible for kids to be able to access all of those plays on film. And we've been lucky to feature actors like Judi Dench, people who wouldn't be able to commit to a long stage run."
In 2007, Pippa fled the streets of London's Holland Park to move back to Oxfordshire. She has lived in Bampton for the past eight years with her daughter and husband, screenwriter Richard McBrien.
"When we came to Bampton I thought it was absolutely perfect," Pippa smiles. "It's a community, a village with a huge amount going on. I've become rather a fan of the Morris dancers. Not words I thought I'd ever say!
"Being back in Oxfordshire is slightly surreal though. Robin Saunders who runs the DIY shop next to our old house in Eynsham is now a rival Morris Man, who comes and dances against the Bampton troupe. My loyalties are now divided."
And her fellow residents don't seem to mind that, having suggested the village as the location for TV series Downton Abbey, Pippa is largely responsible for the 1,800 sightseers who now pour in every week. "People have been quite nice to me thus far," she concedes.
"Carnival, the production company, have been really good to the village. We've been trying to save our library and they've given us money towards that, and towards preserving the post office. They couldn't have been better in terms of their support."

Fair Pre-sale
One of the world's leading contemporary art fairs, Frieze New York 2014, is now over. Much of the best work at Frieze New York could be seen in solo presentations, and many dealers have given their booths over to a single artist. Art that was on offer is estimated to be worth $2bn but much of it has apparently been sold before the fair opened. Work that is fresh to the market is particularly in demand and collectors are increasingly seeking to acquire work from dealers and galleries before it goes on display. It seems that pre-selling is taking hold more than ever before.
Although art dealers admit it is important to have art pieces available at the fair, the majority of the work has been pre-sold or put on hold for the fair's VIP opening.
On the one hand, the reason lies in the financial pressure. The high cost of participating in fairs, from renting a booth to shipping and insurance, pressures galleries to pre-sell enough to cover their costs. Frieze New York still has a higher hit rate than any fair in this city. Another thing concerns marketing strategy. Pre-sold paintings give confidence to a potential buyer knowing that others have already made a purchase. Finally, many collectors want to buy art from fairs without attending them.
Access is Key
Today's art market is strong and major collectors know that access to it is the key. But where are the new collectors in the story? Yes, celebrity collectors and oligarchs make the art world go round, but still… Apparently, new collectors are out of the game as well as old-fashioned who like to buy artwork in person.
Increase the Circle
One of the great aspects of art fairs is the possibility for a gallery to increase its circle by having available works for new collectors. Before, dealers from all over the world would show up not just to sell but also to increase their circle and gain prestige and credibility. Small and mid-size galleries could take booths just as big as those of bigger galleries. Collectors were getting a full survey of what was available in the art market, and were able to find great new works by artist they love or even discover new talents. However, today becomes unimaginable going to art fairs to buy art. Art fairs blossomed over the past decade but it seems that the freshness of buying or discovering new art has disappeared. There are so many international fairs in a single year and the galleries increasingly pre-sell everything they can before the fair opens. In conclusion, it's all about selling, and little to enjoy.

Black Belt: What's the name of your new movie, Diana?Diana Lee Inosanto: [The movie is called] Sinners and Saints. It will be coming out on January 10, 2012. It's directed by William Kaufman. My husband Ron Balicki is the co-producer and stunt choreographer.
Would you call Sinners and Saints a martial arts movie?I would never classify [Sinners and Saints] as a martial arts movie, but you will recognize that there's martial arts in it. There are some very creative fight scenes. Johnny Strong, who has a jiu-jitsu background, and my husband came up with some great choreography. You'll see a lot of shoot'em-up scenes but also a lot of good fights.
Who else is in Sinners and Saints?There's Johnny Strong, who was in Black Hawk Down. Bas Rutten is in it, and so is Sean Patrick Flanery from The Boondock Saints. There is Kevin Phillips, an up-and-coming star who's in a new Steven Spielberg movie. And there's Oscar-nominee Tom Berenger and Costas Mandylor from the Saw movies. We have a really strong cast.
What was your role in the making of Sinners and Saints?I was a co-producer, as well as the stunt coordinator in the Los Angeles unit.
Do you see yourself being typecast in Hollywood as a maker of fight films? If so, is that something you want to get away from?Because of the success of The Sensei, which is not a typical martial arts movie—it's a dramatic piece—I've been able to expand more. I don't think anyone will watch Sinners and Saints and say, "This is a martial arts movie," because it's not. Yes, there are fight scenes and there are [other martial arts] influences, but I've been working hard to think outside the box.
DIANA LEE INOSANTO TALKS ABOUT HER FIRST MARTIAL ARTS FILM, "THE SENSEI," AT DVD-RELEASE PRESS EVENT Watch exclusive video of martial arts icon Dan Inosanto's daughter, Diana Lee Inosanto, talking about the controversial themes in her first film, The Sensei, at the film's 2011 DVD-release event in Los Angeles.
But with your background, you must feel compelled to ensure that any martial arts scenes in your movies are as realistic as possible.Yes. I like to make it as natural and organic looking as much as possible.
Will Sinners and Saints have a theatrical release?My understanding is that it will be released on DVD, online, pay-per-view and video-on-demand.
For more information about this film, visit the Sinners and Saints official page or Sinners and Saints on IMDB. For more information about Diana Lee Inosanto, visit her homepage at dianaleeinosanto.com

The Ideal Tax Season: Making It Possible
Do you remember your last tax season or are you doing your best to forget it? Seriously, are you planning on making changes or improvements for next year or are you simply going to leave well enough alone?
When it comes right down to it, virtually all accounting professionals across our country – in firms big and small – have the same ultimate goal each year: to enjoy the ideal tax season.
And what does an ideal tax season look like? It's where happiness is spread around at all levels. You have happy clients who were delighted with how things were handled. Happy staff who were able to handle their jobs with a minimal amount of stress. And happy partners who are basking in the glory associated with increased revenue and profitability.
Sure, this sounds like a little bit of a Shangri-La. You know, something wonderful but impossible to attain. However, truth be told, an ideal tax season like the one described is in fact possible with the right preparation, planning and perseverance.
Happy Clients Are Great Clients
Happy clients are good for business. They pay you promptly, stay on your client roster for a long time and importantly, promote your firm to others which helps you build your business and increase your revenue.
So, how do you make your clients happy during what is your busiest time of the year?
Quite simply, by making their tax filing process as pleasant as it can be, from the moment they send in their slips right until their returns are delivered back to them when signed – right when you promised.
And how do you achieve all this? Let's count down some of the ways:
- Take steps to ensure that you always have correct client information and make sure you're able to update what needs to be updated when the need arises. No worries: there's client onboarding software out there that will help you do all of this.
- Make it as simple as possible to collect client documents and slips and to follow- up with clients when you require other items from them. The right software solutions will make it easy to gather this information, incorporate instructions and changes from last year and even dial in to the CRA to pull in an installment balance. And of course, everything described will be performed accurately and may be easily validated.
- Have the most efficient tax preparation software on-hand, proven industry-leading software that integrates with other applications you're using to get your workflow running smoothly. And if this software resides in the cloud like CCH iFirm Tax, you're in even better shape. That's because your staff will be able to deliver stellar service to your clients even while they are away from your office.
- Be sure to reduce the bottlenecks in your practice to make your preparation process run smoother so that you can deliver client returns on time, every time. Applications like CCH iFirm Practice Manager have a Client Manager feature that allows you to look at the big picture and allocate jobs effectively. Similarly, with Taxprep Dashboard staff are well-managed and senior members of the firm are alerted to any situations that may have an impact on client service.
- Have the right systems in place so that you can access client documents easily and answer client questions quickly, even during tax season. Here, document management software is the answer, because it puts all your important documents in place for easy access.
- Make it easy-as-pie for your clients to exchange information with you without having to worry about security. A client portal is the answer. CCH iFirm Portal makes information exchange incredibly fast – something both you and your clients will really appreciate the closer you get to the April 30th deadline. And you can rest assured that all exchanges occur in a safe and secure environment.
- Have in place, a quick way to file returns electronically so that your clients avoid penalties and promptly get any refunds they are entitled to. And something else clients truly appreciate, is when they are able to sign their returns without having to print them out or need to come into your office to take care of this task. CCH iFirm Digital Signature lets them do this right at their desk – and they can then send the document back to you in a 100% secure environment when you have a portal.
A Happy Staff Is A Productive Staff
When your staff is happy during tax season, it pays great dividends. They not only work more productively, they are also more likely to stay with you reducing your need to train new employees.
And how can you ensure your staff enjoys a blissful tax season?
- By reducing, if not eliminating, the amount of repetitive data entry tasks your staff needs to perform. You can do this through the use of the latest scanning technology.
- By enabling your tax return preparers to work remotely and outside of regular office hours if needed, thereby promoting a better work/life balance. This may be accomplished by taking advantage of powerful solutions that reside in the cloud, such as CCH iFirm Tax.
- By making your workflow as efficient as it can be, avoiding as many stalls as possible and having an absolutely smooth flow of returns. (Let's face it, no one enjoys hiccups and the problems that often arise because of them!)
- By centralizing your client information in a document management system, so that it may be easily accessed by your employees, freeing up time for them to perform more value-added tasks.
- By implementing software that makes their lives more efficient such as CCH iFirm Jobs and Billing. This software captures billable hours, meaning that your staff does not have to worry about doing that dreaded task of manually recording time.
- By making it easy for your staff to get the feedback they need, when they need it. Once again, this can be accomplished through the use of the latest practice management software.
- And finally, by ensuring that every member of your staff is trained the same way. Consistency is key to enjoying an efficient tax season – and so is effective preparation. So be sure to train your staff prior to this busy period, on any changes that have been made in your practice since last year. And place all manuals and training reference materials in your document management system.
A Profitable Firm Means Happy Partners
To most partners, an ideal tax season would be one that involved their firm's revenue being up and their write-offs down. And here are some ways to get them there, that we would like to share.
- A well-managed workflow is every partners dream. This involves having the ability to oversee all returns (including tracking and reviewing) and stages right down to returns being filed. There's software that helps partners right from the start, with client interviews and the collecting of information. There's practice management software that allows partners to assign staff to jobs and make personnel adjustments that are required to tackle ever-changing client needs and demands. And software such as CCH iFirm Jobs and Billing and Taxprep Dashboard, make it possible for partners meet all the deadlines they have set with their clients.
- Your partners want to be able to share important information with their clients in a secure environment, another advantage that they will enjoy through the use of a portal like CCH iFirm Portal. Your partners can also use the portal to send and receive information from their client's other advisors, such as investment managers and U.S. tax preparers.
- Just like your staff, your partners want to be able to access documents easily – something they will be able to do when your firm employs a document management system. You can even assign access privileges for documents that are only for the eyes of your partners. Less wasted time searching, means more time for building client relationships.
- It's so important for partners to be able to capture billable hours and send bills out with their client returns. An instant invoicing feature that comes with CCH iFirm Jobs and Billing will allow them to do this. It also makes it simpler to collect payments and improve cashflow.
Follow these steps and you will put your firm in the perfect position to experience the ideal system. Isn't that something that will make everyone at your firm – and your clients – incredibly happy?

Researchers at MIT and elsewhere has developed a new approach to deep learning AI computing, using light instead of electricity, which they say could vastly improve the speed and efficiency of certain deep learning computations
Soljačić says that many researchers over the years have made claims about optics-based computers, but that "people dramatically over-promised, and it backfired." While many proposed uses of such photonic computers turned out not to be practical, a light-based neural-network system developed by this team "may be applicable for deep-learning for some applications," he says.
Traditional computer architectures are not very efficient when it comes to the kinds of calculations needed for certain important neural-network tasks. Such tasks typically involve repeated multiplications of matrices, which can be very computationally intensive in conventional CPU or GPU chips.
After years of research, the MIT team has come up with a way of performing these operations optically instead. "This chip, once you tune it, can carry out matrix multiplication with, in principle, zero energy, almost instantly," Soljačić says. "We've demonstrated the crucial building blocks but not yet the full system."
By way of analogy, Soljačić points out that even an ordinary eyeglass lens carries out a complex calculation (the so-called Fourier transform) on the light waves that pass through it. The way light beams carry out computations in the new photonic chips is far more general but has a similar underlying principle. The new approach uses multiple light beams directed in such a way that their waves interact with each other, producing interference patterns that convey the result of the intended operation. The resulting device is something the researchers call a programmable nanophotonic processor.

Nature Photonics – Deep learning with coherent nanophotonic circuits
Artificial neural networks are computational network models inspired by signal processing in the brain. These models have dramatically improved performance for many machine-learning tasks, including speech and image recognition. However, today's computing hardware is inefficient at implementing neural networks, in large part because much of it was designed for von Neumann computing schemes. Significant effort has been made towards developing electronic architectures tuned to implement artificial neural networks that exhibit improved computational speed and accuracy. Here, we propose a new architecture for a fully optical neural network that, in principle, could offer an enhancement in computational speed and power efficiency over state-of-the-art electronics for conventional inference tasks. We experimentally demonstrate the essential part of the concept using a programmable nanophotonic processor featuring a cascaded array of 56 programmable Mach–Zehnder interferometers in a silicon photonic integrated circuit and show its utility for vowel recognition.

Recent years have seen a trend – especially in tech companies – to reward staff in the office with free coffee, cold drinks, and often food. If the office is a fun, inviting place to work with perks a plenty, would this make you want to hang out there for longer?
Cappuccino and Double Macchiato on tap may seem for some an extravagance but research has shown that offering free coffee can save up to 30 minutes of time, five days a week, for 50 weeks a year. That adds up to 125 hours of downtime in the office avoided, the equivalent of about three weeks of full time work. So, if you're an employer, it's surely in your interest to encourage people to stay at the office, and to be energised and caffeinated while there.
You only have to look at hugely successful companies such as Google, Pixar, Skyscanner, and Dropbox to see that happy staff make for a happy, hardworking and conscientious team. These companies have led the way in incentivising staff and creating a work environment that people want to come to. Ping pong tables, basketball courts, or helter-skelter slides. 'Steak and Beer Nights' might be a bit extravagant for your office but a fresh bean coffee machine producing great tasting coffee is a very good place to start.
Over 2.25 billion cups of coffee are consumed in the world every day. According to a recent survey, 38% of workers think they couldn't live without it. It is a simple pleasure but it is also a pretty big deal. On average, an office worker on the daily commute pays up to £3 for a morning coffee then perhaps nips out of the office to buy another one at lunchtime or mid-afternoon. This would mean a total spending of £25 per week, £100 per month and £1200 per year on coffee.
Can you as the employer, afford to give them all a wage increase of £1200 per year to pay for their growing Starbucks bill? In most cases not. As an employer you could keep them happy and make them feel valued for much, much less. More and more companies are opting to do just that across the UK.
Approximate costings for a FRESH Bean to Cup coffee machine in the office is £250 per month to make coffees for a staff of 20. This includes freshly roasted beans, milk, machine servicing, and warranty. Surely a no brainer?
Regular caffeine injections to improve concentration and keep staff morale up throughout the working day. . . If nothing else, it buys you some time before having to install the helter-skelter.

Macomb County Family Law Attorney
With a population of over 800,000 people, Macomb County is the third-most populous county in Michigan. Macomb is home to Warren, Sterling Heights, and Clinton Township, three of the ten most populated towns in Michigan.
The area we currently know as Macomb was first settled by the Ojibwe before Europeans made it to the Americas. Macomb County as we know it was officially formed in 1818, making it the third county formed in the state of Michigan. Named after War of 1812 veteran and Detroit-born Alexander Macomb, Macomb County interestingly shares a southeastern border with Canada.
Macomb County boasts over 12,000 acres of park, which many of their citizens use to swim, fish, hunt, and camp. Fishing in particular is a very popular activity, as Macomb has 31 miles of coastline and over 100 marinas within its borders. Not too many counties can boast several miles of coastline and a southern border with Canada!
Macomb is home to many athletes, actors, and celebrities. While there are celebrities from all over the entertainment landscape, the most famous people to hail from Macomb County are musicians Kid Rock, Eminem, and Alice Cooper, who all released platinum records at their height of their fame.
As of the 2010 census, 85% of people residing in Macomb County were white, 31% of households had children under the age of eighteen living in them, and four percent of families were under the poverty line. Macomb County's emphasis on education appears to be succeeding, as over 85% of people graduated high school, which is higher than the rate in the rest of Michigan.
While Macomb is a great place to raise a family, over 50% of Macomb marriages end in divorce. If you are considering divorce, it is important to have an experienced, skilled attorney on your side. Contact McGuigan Law, PLLC today to find divorce, child custody, property settlement and parenting time solutions.

China finally gets its own version of that hit Japanese frog game
But are people really playing anymore?
The cute traveling frog Tabikaeru is just like your moody pet cat: It leaves home whenever it wants, goes on an adventure for hours or days on end, and brings you back souvenirs you may (or may not) want.
That premise got millions of players in China hooked on the hit smartphone game earlier this year, even though it was only available in Japanese.
Now Alibaba has announced it is partnering with the game's developer Hit-Point to launch a Chinese language version of Tabikaeru, which will include "localized content and surprises." (Abacus is a unit of the South China Morning Post, which is owned by Alibaba.)
Alibaba's gaming division says on its official Weibo page that the frog is prepared to explore the "beautiful mountains and rivers of China".
But some don't seem too keen on the idea.
One user commented, "The game's not even hot anymore -- why bother." Another said, "People aren't really playing the game anymore."
At the height of its popularity, Tabikaeru was the top most downloaded free app on Apple's App Store in China. But right now, it's not even among the top 100 -- and only ranks 17th among simulation games.
Still, there are plenty of Weibo users who say they are excited about the prospects of the frog roaming the Great Wall of China or the West Lake in Hangzhou. And many are still actively sharing the status of their frogs and the "postcards" they received in the current version of the game.
"Still raising. Looking forward to a new postcard everyday. #JourneyFrog," said one user.

A Carer is someone who, unpaid, provides help and support to a relative, friend or neighbour who could not manage without that help due to frailty, long-term illness or disability.
Many carers do not see themselves as carers but primarily as a parent, child, wife, husband, partner, friend or neighbour. Many carers tend to be hidden in our communities and are not aware that help and support is available. Carers may live with the person they care for but many do not. Some carers will be balancing caring responsibilities with paid employment. Many give up paid employment to care. There is no such thing as a typical Carer. Caring roles have an impact not only on individual carers but also on whole family units.
Local Information
Young Carers Card
The card is intended to help young carers understand the illness of the person they care for, become better involved in health issues and have permission from healthcare professionals to know about the type of treatment being undertaken.
The development of the Young Carers Authorisation Card is supported by the Scottish Government.
Young carers who would like a card should contact:

First we ranked the OP's now comes the time for ED's (Endings). And as usual, yes I listened to every eligible ED for the 2018 Fall season! These are my opinions and not empirical, a song you love I might hate and vice versa. Secondly only the song itself is being judged, not the accompanying visuals or the series itself–even a terrible anime can have awesome OP's and ED's! Now with that said and done let's count down my 10 Best Anime ED's of Fall 2018!
~Number 10~
"Rakuen no Kimi" by osterreich from 'Tokyo Ghoul:re 2nd Season'
I love the sound and mood of this ending it reminds me a bit of early 'Minus The Bear' albums–albeit less math-rock. Now there's a pretentious music reference for you!
~Number 9~
"Ao no Kanata" by Konomi Suzuki from 'Between The Sky And The Sea'
It's got an infectious beat, it's high-spirited and energetic, it's just a lot of fun to listen to!
~Number 8~
"Be Affected" by Takanori Nishikawa x Fear, and Loathing in Las Vegas from 'Gakuen Basara'
I'm not a fan of auto-tune, so thankfully it's only the opening few lines that get this treatment as it quickly explodes into full blown metal growls accompanying a power lead singer and backing beat.
~Number 7~
"Junsei Erotic" by Mia REGINA from 'Senran Kagura: Shinovi Master'
So, erm, you know that thing about not picking songs based on the opening visuals–well I must have watched this ED (with visuals) so many times that I can't help but get the image of 20+ naked anime girls out of my head when I hear this song. So, I'm a little biased, so what?! The song's still pretty good! Ahem…
~Number 6~
"Tokei-dai no Kane" by eastern youth from 'Golden Kamuy 2nd Season'
The vocals are a bit rough around the edges but they work really well with the raw rock sound this song delivers.
~Number 5~
"Freek'n You" by Jodeci from 'JoJo's Bizarre Adventures Part 5: Golden Wind'
Oh, JoJo, you scamp of an anime you! It seems like with each JoJo ending things get more… self-aware? I don't know, I don't even watch the show I'd never heard of this slow and sexy RnB song before I did this list but all I know is this song will forever be linked to this silly anime in my mind.
~Number 4~
"RED" by Survive Said The Prophet from 'BANANA FISH'
'Survive Said The Prophet' delivered my favourite OP of the previous (Summer) season and while this song isn't quite as impactful as that particular banger, it's still an emotionally charged and dramatic track that makes me want to download and listen to all of their songs–it's that good!
~Number 3~
"Hiizuru Basho" by Omedetai Atama de Naniyori from 'Hinomaru Sumo'
It starts off sounding like a song by 'Rammstein' and then morphs into its own unique beast, and one to be reckoned with. Pure, undiluted energy and it just plain rocks!
~Number 2~
"Tokimeki☆Climax" by Misha Takanashi (Haruka Shiraishi) & Tsubame Kamoi (Manami Numakura) from 'UzaMaid!'
It starts off at such a high level of energy and somehow just keeps building and building and building before exploding in a joyous celebration of all things fun! If I exercised (like even at all) this would be my Number 1 work out song… speaking of Number 1 it just narrowly missed out on being my Number 1 ED song. But before we get to that, some honourable mentions…
~Honourable Mention(s)~
"Book-end, Happy-end" by TECHNOBOYS PULCRAFT GREEN-FUND feat. Hiroshi Takano from 'Skull Face Bookseller Honda-San'
Both of the honourable mentions are here because they failed to meet one of the strict criteria I have for these lists, that being only 1 minute 30 second OP's and ED's are eligible. I love this adorable ED, it's so quirky and sweet sounding but being just a minute long means it doesn't qualify, but it deserves at least a mention! Also…
"Fukashigi no Carte" by Mai Sakurajima (Asami Seto) from 'Rascal Does Not Dream Of Bunny Girl Senpai'
If I was sad about not including the previous song, I'm absolutely devastated that this beautiful work of art is ineligible for the same reasons. That said, the one minute ED version–while lovely, is nothing on the full-length version which includes vocals from all of the female cast not just the titular Bunny Girl senpai, here just listen for yourself:
~Number 1~
"Buntline Special" by VickeBlanka from 'Double Decker! Doug & Kirill'
So here's the thing, I've always been fond of 'punk' music, while never ~actually~ listening to any of it beyond what became "popular" 'The Clash', 'Green Day', etc. So hearing something vaguely punk (or pop-punk, if you will) in this assortment of anime ED's was an unexpected delight! Maybe it won't hold up to repeated listens, maybe there's better ending songs out there, but right now, this is the shit!
And there's my list of the Best Fall 2018 ED's! Agree? Disagree? Please leave your thoughts in the comments section below and thank you all for reading!

You might have seen them appearing. Harnesses. Pods. The popularity of posture trainers is on the rise and, as a result, so too are our spines.
The benefits of having a good posture have long been documented. Good posture puts your body in the best possible alignment so no one part of it is overstressed. It helps improve muscle strength, digestion, breathing, sleeping and just generally makes you better (you look taller and seem more self-confident). Bad posture essentially results in pain – think lower back pain, headaches, achy joints – as your body tries to compensate using muscles, joints and bones it shouldn't.
Summary = good posture good, bad posture bad.
We've been overhauling our offices here at Employment Hero. Standing desks have become deriguour and now, posture trainers or correctors have become the must have office accessory.
Posture trainers are designed to help you achieve better posture. There are two types. The old school material style braces or harnesses hold your muscles in the correct position, helping create muscle memory for a better posture.
The second type are smart wearable devices. These tend to look like a small egg that attaches to your back although they are being built into clothes now as well. These devices release a gentle pulse or noise when your posture begins to slump so you can self correct. These devices generally sync to your smartphone to monitor your posture, provide feedback and give you tips and tricks on how to improve. Over time, you develop muscle memory to help you maintain healthy posture making it less likely to fall into bad habits. .
Depending on which type of posture trainer is best suited to you, they can set you back anywhere from $30 for a traditional posture corrector to over $300 for something like posture correcting leggings or shoe insoles.
The most important question is do they work?
The jury is still out. Ultimately, it's still about you retraining your body and you need to constantly make the conscious decision to move back into a better position. When it comes to apps that want to gamify good posture, it can be difficult to measure as sometimes you might miss your goal because you picking something off the ground or at a dinner where you want to relax (or you've got it off to charge) and that can wreck your good posture stats.
But one good thing is that these devices do have us thinking about our posture. Like that great aunt who always use to yell at your to think up straight. And if we're thinking about it, then we're likely to make a change for good.
