The History of Tokusatsu in Animeby Christopher Farris,
You see news about Kamen Rider pop up on Anime News Network from time to time. You see that Crunchyroll has subtitled episodes of some show called Ultraman available. You see this new anime called GARO that's supposedly based on a previous live-action show called a tokusatsu (or "special-effects") series. But what are tokusatsu series, and what business do they even have with your anime?
Over several decades, tokusatsu has established itself as a well-known cousin of anime. Live-action dramas based on more down-to-earth dramatic and romantic manga/anime series are already commonplace, but these flashier, toyetic, effects-driven shows can be equally referred to as 'live-action anime' by viewers, even when there's no anime-based source material behind their creation.
First, it must be established what tokusatsu (toku for short) means in this context. In the Japanese lexicon, tokusatsu really just refers to any live-action show or movie driven primarily by visual effects, be they practical or digital. To Japanese viewers, the Marvel superhero movies are tokusatsu. Jurassic Park is tokusatsu. In Western fandom, however, the word is primarily used to discuss a specific kind of Japanese TV show, where characters transform into spandex-and-armor-clad forms to fight rubber-suited monsters, with lots of (often very cheesy) special effects involved.
The poster boys for these shows are Toei's Kamen Rider and Super Sentai series, as well as Tsuburaya's Ultraman franchise. Super Sentai is probably the one you're most likely to recognize, since it's the original source for the long-running Power Rangers series here in the west. Because of Power Rangers's cultural pervasiveness and its status as the only major toku-style show with success in America, it's got a solid monopoly on people's impression of the toku style. I've seen people online remark that Kamen Rider looks like "Japanese Power Rangers", which is on the one hand completely backwards, but also a handy descriptor for what to expect from these series.
Granted, the 'Japanese' part of that description is just as important as the 'Power Rangers' part. As opposed to the Saved-by-the-Bell-esque sitcom antics that Saban added around their recycled Sentai footage for Power Rangers, Kamen Rider and Super Sentai series often play out like Japanese superhero cartoons. Jokes and slapstick are over-the-top, reactions are loud and hammy, and everything from transformations to attacks are called out with awesome-sounding names and wild on-screen text effects. Depending on the particular series, the exact level of cartoonishness can vary wildly, but the feeling of watching a "live-action anime" is still very prevalent.
Comparing these toku shows to anime might also be easier because the series themselves do it all the time. Super Sentai and Kamen Rider both air as part of Toei's 'Super Hero Time' block in Japan, alongside a mainstay anime franchise called Pretty Cure. As the most well-known modern incarnation of the ubiquitous magical girl genre, Pretty Cure acts as a feminine variation on Super Sentai series for many children in Japan. The concepts driving both shows mean that if you enjoy one, you'll likely enjoy the other, as well as being more likely to spend money on the elaborate role-play toys by Bandai attached to each franchise. Pretty Cure, Kamen Rider, and Super Sentai (as well as other intermittent anime entries in the block, like Battle Spirits) frequently appear together in promotional materials. Cure Heart even married a bizarrely cartoonified version of Kamen Rider Wizard once!
If you've seen DokiDoki Pretty Cure, you know this is wildly out of character for Mana, for several reasons.
These toku series' anime influences can be traced from their origins all the way to their current productions. The original Kamen Rider series was created in 1971 by Shotaro Ishinomori, better known to anime fans as the creator of Cyborg 009. This show incorporated many ideas Ishinomori was fond of in 009, namely ordinary people modified to have superpowers by evil organizations, who then betray them to fight as heroes of justice instead. The success of Kamen Rider led to Ishinomori creating many similar superhero shows for Toei in the 70's, including Super Sentai, as well as names like Kikkaider, Inazuman, and Akumaizer-3. Most of these would go on to get their own manga adaptations, some drawn by Ishinomori himself!
Kikkaider might be one name that sticks out to you there. The series received an anime adaptation in 2001 by Studio OX in a distinctly Ishinomori-esque art style, which made it easily comparable to the new Cyborg 009 anime that also came out that year. That series would get its own prequel of sorts in the 2007 Skull Man TV anime series. Skull Man was based on an older manga by Ishinomori, his own personal vision of the concept that would eventually become, you guessed it, Kamen Rider.
Those intersecting Ishinomori adaptations are only part of the story, as the mediums of manga, anime, and tokusatsu have continued to cross over to this day. As the Kamen Rider franchise was just seeing a revival in the Heisei Era, the year 2001 gave us a new manga series by Kenichi Muraeda called Kamen Rider Spirits, celebrating the more classic 70's and 80's-era Riders. Similarly, Eiichi Shimizu and Tomohiro Shimoguchi (the Linebarrels of Iron guys) launched ULTRAMAN in 2011, a manga sequel to the original Ultraman series, to much acclaim. The Ultramanga, like a surprising amount of the Ultra franchise, has been released in the US; you can check it out for a strikingly stylized take on the classic toku series that helped define the genre's style.
There are other notable tokusatsu/anime overlaps outside of adapting the classics. One you might recently recall is Garo: The Animation. Garo was created by Toei back in 2005 as an attempt to launch a more adult-oriented toku show, and by all accounts it worked out. The broody story of disaffected demon-hunters duking it out in shiny armor went on to receive several sequels and spin-offs, and studio MAPPA's animated historical prequel was one of them. This one even managed to secure an official release from Funimation, making it not only the first Garo entry released in the West, but likely the first entry in Toei's modern toku catalog to make it here in non-Power-Rangers form. Maybe being a 'mature' show specifically for anime audiences helped with that.
Even anime get adapted into toku series themselves sometimes. While live-action adaptations of anime series are a dime a dozen these days, they do tend toward grounded romance and drama series for obvious budgetary reasons. But when you're adapting something that was basically a Sentai series already, you might as well go full toku. And so Toei went this direction with their live-action adaptation of Sailor Moon, commonly referred to as 'Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon'. This henshin-hero reimagining of the legendary Magical Girl series took quite a few liberties with its source material, but it still stands as an incredibly interesting example of translating a fantastical animated story into live-action television. PGSM did not prove successful enough for Toei to try for similar adaptations, however. Perhaps it was most telling that fans went into it expecting a slightly more serious take from a live-action version of their favorite franchise, only to be greeted with something much more Power-Ranger-ish than they were hoping for.
The crisscrossing of anime and tokusatsu isn't limited just to the series themselves. Cast and crew move between the productions so often that you sometimes wonder how much distinction there is between the industries at all. Yasuko Kobayashi, one of the hardest working screenwriters in Japanese entertainment, has been a prolific head writer of many Kamen Rider and Super Sentai series, to the point that fans of the subgenre can distinguish her style almost immediately. She also wrote the Garo anime and Sailor Moon adaptation mentioned above, along with many other anime. It's also become common in recent years for Toei to court popular anime writers to head their new superhero shows. Kamen Rider Fourze was primarily written by Kazuki Nakashima, series composer for Gurren Lagann, so Fourze wound up being a hot-blooded series full of friendship, outer space, and drills. Then 2013's Kamen Rider Gaim series was written by Gen Urobuchi. That's right, Toei tasked the writer of Saya no Uta and Madoka Magica with telling a story for a Sunday-morning children's superhero toy advertisement. It turned out pretty much exactly how you might expect.
It's common for actors to move between the two genres as well. Tokusatsu series have long employed professional voice actors to play suit-based characters in their live-action productions. Kamen Rider Den-O featured, among others, prolific voice talent Toshihiko Seki as Momotaros, the main heroic 'IMAGIN' monster of the series, who possessed lead boy Ryotaro to transform him into the titular Kamen Rider. Toshihiko's turn as Momotaros was so successful that he and his fellow IMAGIN actors continued to reprise their roles in later Kamen Rider movies and crossovers long after the original show had ended its run, to the point that Momotaros became the de facto 'secret identity' for Kamen Rider Den-O in place of Ryotaro himself! For his part, Ryotaro's actor Takeru Satoh would find fame afterwards playing Kenshin in the live-action Rurouni Kenshin films. All of these connections, as well as it's even more cartoony than usual tone, makes Kamen Rider Den-O one of the most distinctly 'anime' Rider shows.
Another actor example is popular modern seiyuu Mao Ichimichi, also known as M•A•O. Mao's popularity and body of work exploded around 2014-2015, as she starred in shows like School-Live!, Space Patrol Luluco, Digimon Adventure tri., and Keijo!!!!!!!!. But she actually got her big break in 2011 on Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger, playing the yellow ranger of the space pirate Sentai, Luka Millfy. After all that time spent primarily doing voices in anime, Mao returned to a regular tokusatsu role in this year's Uchuu Sentai Kyuranger, providing voice work for the robotic pink ranger, Raptor-283.
Mao also had a role in 2013's toku-hero pastiche anime Samurai Flamenco, which brings us to one last area of toku/anime connections: the references and parodies of these shows that appear in anime. Many an anime has done a Super Sentai parody of some sort, from Dragon Ball Z's Ginyu Force to Negima's Baka Rangers (who actually got their own toku-style makeover when that series attempted a live-action version). Other classics like Ultraman and Kamen Rider see their share of shout-outs as well. Pretty much anyone with a passing awareness of the name knows that Mumen Rider from One-Punch Man is a Kamen Rider riff, but did you also know that Yudetamago's wrestling-action opus Kinnikuman (responsible for both the M.U.S.C.L.E. toys and Ultimate Muscle show in the west) started life as an Ultraman parody? This can go both ways, of course. Outstanding Super Sentai series Chojin Sentai Jetman is based on the legendary Science-Ninja Team Gatchaman.
So if any of these inexorable connections between tokusatsu and anime has you wanting to check a toku series out for yourself, you might be asking where you can start. Of the major franchises listed above, Ultraman is probably the easiest to check out. Crunchyroll has many of the Ultraman series, primarily from the modern era, available for legal streaming. Official English-language DVD sets for many of the older Ultra series, including the original Ultraman, can also be found surprisingly cheaply.
Super Sentai series have been localized into Power Rangers here since the 90's, but releasing the original versions was considered a losing proposition for the longest time. Luckily, Shout! Factory has recently struck a deal to release subtitled DVD sets of original Sentai series here! They started with Zyuranger, the source material for Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers, and have continued with the series following that one so far. (Their Megaranger release is due out in August.) I genuinely hope these prove successful enough that they go backwards as well, if only because I'd love to see an official English release for Jetman. Until then, I strongly recommend diving into Gosei Sentai Dairanger as a classic Super Sentai series to get you started. (Kamen Rider sadly lacks any English distribution yet.) There was a release of the original-series remake movie Kamen Rider the First back in 2007 by Media Blasters, as well as a prohibitively expensive low-distribution DVD set of 70's series Kamen Rider V3, but other than those, there's been nothing for older series. Perhaps a company like Shout will pick some of these up eventually, so keep your fingers crossed.
Regardless of what toku series you choose to try out first, it's important to know what you're getting into. As outlined in the immense breakdown above, these series don't traditionally line up with what we expect from regular live-action television. They're really a genre to themselves, somewhere between live-action and anime, defining their own aesthetic. If you have an appreciation for campy acting, outlandish stunts, and fist-pumping flashy special effects, these shows can be immensely rewarding. Tokusatsu and anime will always be linked, so if you're ever feeling burned out on the animated side of things, give the world of "Japanese Power Rangers" a try!

Thanks to the interaction of pheromones, some people attract each other, while others are in neutral relation. Something, what is attractive for one person, can be even noticeable for another. Why? Well, because of pheromones. Pheromones naturally occur as volatile substances in the body which send invisible information about ourselves: about our willingness to get to know someone, about openness, trust, and even fertility desire for sex.
Effect of pheromones has been scientifically proven. Pheromones chemically brought together have been subjected to many experiments in worldwide laboratories. The research results exceeded the expectations of experts. Since then, the pheromones have been produced on a global scale and successfully serve millions of people across the globe.
Now, when you know what's the meaning of pheromone and how pheromones work, you'll probably easily answer the question: why one man raises women's desire and there are many beautiful adorers around at the party, and another, no less combative or handsome, eats out of boredom bowl of chips and again returns home alone, uncertain of their forces?

Look, what about the action of pheromones, says a scientist who has devoted to this question 20 years of his life. Below there are fragments of an extensive interview that James V. Kohl gave the journalist Bob Hughes.
read the interview
James V. Kohl's-this scientist, and teacher. He has published research and development on the topic of pheromones, and their actions in the world of people and Animals since 1992. His research and publications are used by , in particular, the international society Mensa. Kohl has developed a famous blend of pheromones, based on androstenol and androsterone. He was so fascinated by the results of his work that he began writing the blog pheromones.com, which eventually became widely-read place in the network.
Bob Hughes: What spring from your research?
James V. Kohl: My research show the mix of two pheromones' influence on women's attractiveness in men's eyes. We had this experience: we administrated to women chosen pheromones. Within 15 minutes it turned out that women attract men's eyes stronger and felt more attractive. The experience has show pheromones action has influence on phenomenon occuring in brain, including mood, just the human behavior. Our Assumption has confirmed. As a result of this study, we were able to develop the perfect mixture of pheromones.
So the question arises: if components set, a simple compound can change people's behavior?
We meet different pheromones, fragrances, components during our life, which have influence on our behavior. This effect also depends on the frequency in which they appear in our lives. They evoke some associations.
Observing changes in behavior it's not difficult to grasp. For instancje at least our food habits. They are also based on some experience and repeatability. There are preferences, we can clearly see what's tasty and what is not.
the contact of mother and child during breastfeeding is the first exapmle of pheromones action in our life. Mother pheromones impact differently on son and daughter. Can you pursue this answer?
You're right. Even during the first physiological experience we can see that mother pheromones boys feel the difference of the sexes immediately. Girls don't see the difference , what confirms that pheromones affect the opposite sex.
In this case, how exactly pheromones work? And which work and which not?
What means work? If it's about changing mood, that is the pheromones' meaning – they change our mood and impast on physiology.
I mean the most import ant, which action was proved.
We proved androstenole and androsterone action. (…)
What would you say to people, who buy sex appeal in vial?Those, who buy pheromones to become more attractive.
Pheromones work as women's makeup or like men's tan. Women paint themself not only to look better, but also to feel better. Guys, in turn, feel more attractive when they're tanned that they become more confident, and really, because of this, perceived as more attractive. Men, in turn, feel more attractive, when they're tanned. Pheromones gives something what gives a beautiful appearance. When you smell better, you look better, you feel better and finalny you look more attractive.
Are we more simple beings than we think about ourselves? Does your research confirm it? We can say about the man a lot, but not everything is examined, for example we don't know what affects our visual perception of the attractiveness of the other person. In this sense, we are at a higher level than animals in which the attraction is less complex (…) Most people think that if they see something, they can say that they love it and that's what they want. And they don't realize that something else work on them – the smell, pheromones. And only a combination of all these stimuli makes us feel attraction to someone. (…)
Bob Hughes talked to James V. Kohl.

Amory Blaine is a spoiled little rich kid from Minnesota whose mother constantly dotes on him. He's basically Veruca Salt, only he doesn't fall victim to a bunch of psychotic super-smart squirrels. As he grows up, Amory develops a huge ego and a shallow knowledge of the world, concerning himself more with impressing people than with actually knowing anything. But when he gets old enough to leave home, Amory learns that there's more to life than what his mother has taught him. But it's extremely tough to overcome the years of ego-inflation he's had. He can try to act modest, but being modest ain't so easy.
Despite his laziness, Amory gets good enough grades to go to Princeton for his undergraduate degree. The guy knows he's cruising through life, and it's almost as if he wants to fail so he can finally get down to thinking about what matters to him. World War I starts before he gets the chance to fail, though, and he spends the last years of his youth fighting in the trenches of Europe.
Amory is lucky enough to return from The Great War alive. But once he's back, he becomes obsessed with the question of what his larger purpose in life is. He thinks he finds his purpose when he starts going out with a beautiful girl named Rosalind. But Rosalind dumps him because he's not successful enough. This breakup seems to be the last straw for Amory, who falls into alcoholism and spends the next year or so killing himself with booze. The only thing that really saves him is the start of Prohibition, which makes alcohol illegal in the U.S.
It'll take more than Prohibition to put Amory's life back on track, but the sad thing about this book is that Fitzgerald ends it without ever giving any kind of resolution to Amory's situation. This is (most likely) because Fitzgerald wrote this book when he was twenty-three, when he was still too young to have any answers himself.

Customer Reviews
Bought the med. first but tight in the arms and my arms aren't that big. Got the large at the big sale and they both are warm. Nice jacket and I recommend it. Seems quiet. Haven't noticed noise with it. Waiting on hats to match.
I did the measurements like the website suggested but you still need to go up one size in my opinion!! The medium one I got is a little tight but fits quite nice with just a short sleeve shirts on. A large would have been better for long sleeve shirts! Medium is what I usually wear by the way!
Sleeves are short, size runs smaller than tag.
I'm confused with the description of your product. On one part it says it's a waterproof on another part it says it's water repellent or water resistant which piece of your description is correct ?

We Take the Fifth
I was looking for an Original Sarcasmo that related to the Fourth of July. What's that you say? Today is the fifth of July ? A day that does not even warrant capitalization ? Ah well, yesterday was a holiday. Technically, as my fair city, the US Postal Service, and many union employees are celebrating the Fourth falling on Sunday by having off today, it is still a holiday. The second Fourth. The Fourth, part II.
It doesn't matter anyway. This Original Sarcasmo was posted July 3, 2006, ( otherwise known as Fourth of July, the prequel ) and has absolutely nothing to do with Independence Day. (the day, not the movie, which, it has nothing to do with either.)
The link it appears, takes you to all the posts for July 2006. Possibly something to do with all the moving around. All of the posts are worth a read. The one I am referring to is :
My Life with That
All because she couldn't find a decent pencil.
Enjoy !
Oh, and may the Fourth be with you, which admittedly was more amusing yesterday, and actually somewhat funny on May the fourth.

Housing is a hot topic in Australia at the moment. Prices in capital cities are still growing. Politicians are arguing about what to do about housing affordability. Renovation and 'house flipper' shows are some of the most viewed on Aussie television. Then you've got media commentators saying we're heading for a housing crash. And regulators putting extra pressure on lenders to do the right thing by borrowers.
With all the hype and uncertainty around housing and mortgage lending, there's never been a greater need for brokers who know what they're doing. Professionals who are in the industry for the right reason can make a world of difference to their clients. But how does someone go from no experience, to practicing as a finance and mortgage broker?
Step 1: get to know the job
You know that being a finance and mortgage broker involves helping people get the right loan product for their needs. But do you know how that happens? What the day to day work of a broker involves? It might not be what you think. The first step towards your new career involves a bit of research. Do some reading online. Listen to some podcasts or vodcasts (yes, there are lots of broker channels out there!) You might even get in touch with a broker in your local area and ask them for a few tips.
Step 2: education
To become a mortgage broker, you need to become a representative of a credit licence holder. You'll work as a representative of a licence holder for the first two years of your career. Then you can decide whether to continue as a representative or get your own credit licence.
The regulator, ASIC, has minimum education requirements for people who want to apply for a licence[i]. Currently the minimum education required is the FNS40815 Certificate IV in Finance and Mortgage Broking. The FNS50315 Diploma of Finance and Mortgage Broking Management exceeds the requirements. However, it's a good choice for those who want to keep their career options open, and possibly move in to a senior role sooner.
Step 3: applications
At any one time, there are hundreds of broker jobs advertised all around Australia. Other jobs are filled through professional networking platforms. And according to government projections, the number of finance and mortgage broker positions are going to grow in coming years[ii]. To stand out in your applications, you'll need to be able to demonstrate your knowledge and enthusiasm for the job in your cover letters. It can also help to have references from the trainers who've helped you meet your education requirements.
Speaking of, Monarch Institute's finance and mortgage broking team are here to help you with your career ambitions. From the exclusive student Facebook page to the insider advice from trainers, your Monarch Institute qualification is more than just a piece of paper. It's your foot in the door to becoming a successful finance and mortgage broker. Check out the study options online and enrol today!

It has been 34 years, and now we are getting Maverick back in action with the announcement of the release of Top Gun 2: Maverick. Earlier this year Skydance media announced that they are starting the production of the sequel to this American classic, and later Tom Cruise posted a poster of the movie via a tweet with the caption, "#Day1".
#Day1 pic.twitter.com/7jjPL277Es
— Tom Cruise (@TomCruise) May 31, 2018
Top Gun is a 1986 action drama film. The story of the movie revolves around Naval Aviator LT Pete "Maverick" Mitchell who is sent to attain Top Gun school in Miramar after a reckless successful but reckless maneuverer which saved his wingman's life. At the school, Maverick is challenged by top student Iceman for the annual Top Gun Trophy.
According to the last week announcements for the film, Top Gun: Maverick is delayed by a full year. However its production has not slowed down, and reportedly, the movie will start its shooting by the end of September. The delayed release date of the film is postponed due to high box competition, but the filming is still beginning sooner rather than later.
The movie is going to be shot in San Diego. Along with Tom Cruise, Val Kilmer is also going to be back in the as Iceman. The story of the movie is highly kept under secrecy, but a short bio of the film has been released which says, "will be set in a world of drone technology and will explore the end of the era of dogfighting." This plot seems similar to the 2006 action movie 'Stealth' where a drone is put into an air-fighter plane squad.
The movie has an initial release of 2019, but later it was delayed by a full year after its original date to June 26, 2020. The main concern for the delay of the movie was a release of comic book superhero movies which can abruptly affect the box office performance of any film.

Today we're heading for the Northwoods Art and Book Festival in Hackensack, MN. I've been seeing more and more references to sustainable rural community economic development benefitting from a relationship with the arts, plus, it looks like fun. I went to the state fair once and still haven't developed a taste for "chocolate covered, deep-fried books on a stick," so it's up north for us. I'm going to be reading a few of my poems. Now that I'm toughened up by email rejection letters, I thought I'd test what in-person audience reaction does to or for my writing. UPDATE: One of my submissions was a Popular Choice winner. Sue Ready, Northwoods Arts Council's Poetry Chair, facilitated the poetry recognition event. (Thanks, Sue.) Here's a link to her blog posting on yesterdays event.
Ever Ready: Northwoods Art and Book Festival-Poetry Recognition Event.
mist-filled St. Croix River Valley
Photo by J. Harrington
Maybe the arts activists in the St. Croix River Valley could organize something like the Northwoods Festival, including a large emphasis of Minnesota and/or Valley authors to augment the existing Valley potters' tours. ArtReach St. Croix seems to be pretty much focused on the Hastings to Stillwater stretch, and the St. Croix Splash lists reading and book signings of individual authors. Something in the Taylors Falls / St Croix Falls vicinity that also draws from the upper Valley might work. I hope we haven't reached the point where almost everyone in the general vicinity of the Twin Cities is reading just ebooks or on-line but I also realize that the St. Croix Valley is much closer to The Loft Literary Center at Open Book and to the Twin Cities Book Festival than Hackensack Minnesota is. I also remain frustrated by the reluctance of local bookstores to have a regional or Minnesota section for poetry. I continue to believe we have much literary talent to honor and celebrate locally and having an ongoing, aggregate focus on local authors and poets, in addition to the Annual Minnesota Book Awards, contributes to that. Joyce Sutphen, our poet laureate, tells us why it's important.
I spend part of my childhood waiting
for the Sterns County Bookmobile.
When it comes to town, it makes a
U-turn in front of the grade school and
glides into its place under the elms.
It is a natural wonder of late
afternoon. I try to imagine Dante,
William Faulkner, and Emily Dickinson
traveling down a double lane highway
together, country-western on the radio.
Even when it arrives, I have to wait.
The librarian is busy, getting out
the inky pad and the lined cards.
I pace back and forth in the line,
hungry for the fresh bread of the page,
because I need something that will tell me
what I am; I want to catch a book,
clear as a one-way ticket, to Paris,
to London, to anywhere.
Thanks for visiting. Come again when you can.
Please be kind to each other while you can.

Last Trimester & Peak Summers: How to Cope Better?
Created by Sumitra Gopal Updated on Dec 26, 2019
Heat and humidity feel even worse during pregnancy, because when pregnant — especially during the last trimester — your body temperature is already a little higher than normal. But there are ways to cope. I can't forget the summers of both my pregnancies—I was in my last trimester of pregnancy—and the heat was unbearable. I was huge, could not see my toes or tie my shoelaces and I felt like I was melting...literally. Our proparent, Sumitra Gopal shares her tips on she kept cool during pregnancy.
How to Take Care the Third Trimester of Pregnancy in the Summer
Here are some things that worked for me; they might give you some respite too:
- Keep away from the mid-morning, early afternoon heat. Wearing a sunscreen and carrying and umbrella was helpful, as was wearing my sunglasses.
- My feet would swell after an outdoor activity. I love sitting cross-legged, but it was not possible with my big belly. So I had a small stool/ chair to keep my feet up and give me some respite and cool my temper.
- Unnecessary weight gain leads to not only an overweight mother after delivery, it also makes the mother-to-be uncomfortable during pregnancy. Therefore, I tried to gain only the recommended 15 kgs. I knew that I didn't have much control over the water I would retain in the last trimester of pregnancy, but I could control how much I gained in the first two.
- I had clothes tailored to make me look good and keep the heat away. My favourite fabrics during the last trimester were muslin, cotton and linen in light colours. Breathable and light-weight materials were my top picks.
- Keeping myself hydrated also helped. I preferred low calorie, healthy options in addition to water, like cucumber juice, mint juice, nimbu paani etc. I also experimented with healthy low-calorie smoothies.
- Pregnancy is a time to eat without reason or guilt. Not to say I didn't indulge myself occasionally, but I kept the food simple, tasty and low on heavy spices. Keeping the spice levels low definitely helped me battle the heat.
- I love to experiment with my hair so I cut my hair short and often tied it up. It was great not to have hair on my nape.
- I also loved to swim, especially during my last trimester. Aqua exercises helped, and also kept the heat away. In case you have never swum before pregnancy, don't try it during pregnancy. Instead, you can be near the poolside but just be careful about slipping.
Conclusion: What to Take if Pregnant in Summer
What worked the most was having a positive attitude and engaging myself in preparing for the babies' arrival. I spent most of my spare time doing something that kept my attention away from the heat.

Contextualizing Music History and the Potential of Streaming
The music sector over the last four decades has shifted through technology like very few other industries. Moving from vinyl, cassettes, CDs, MP3s to streaming, music has never gone out of style. Yet despite this it hasn't been smooth sailing for the industry, far from it.
Music revenues peaked in 1999/2000 at $21.5 billion before tumbling in the wake of Napster's digital disruption igniting a world of music piracy. Napster was shut down in 2002, only a couple of years after the peak, but as they say, the toothpaste was out of tube. What followed devastated the music industry for over 15 years with pirated music and listeners reluctance to pay for songs, causing revenues to contract by approximately 65 per cent to a low of around $7.0 billion just a few years ago.
Recently however, the trend of contraction has stopped and music streaming has finally started to grow again. As can be seen from the chart below, the music industry in terms of revenues remains a fraction of its peak, however consumer behaviour is changing with people willing to pay for music again via Spotify, Apple Music, etc. In fact we are seeing exponential growth in music streaming revenues with Vivendi (VIV FP) via its ownership of the world's largest music label, Universal Music Group, very well positioned to benefit from what appears to be a secular growth story.
The Montgomery Global Funds own shares in Vivendi. This article was prepared 17 January with the information we have today, and our view may change. It does not constitute formal advice or professional investment advice. If you wish to trade Vivendi you should seek financial advice.

- Age restrictions to do Brueggerssurvey.

Thus you are eligible to conduct a survey. At the age of 18, you are able to provide your personal judgment. Then you can take responsibility for yourself.

- Your position against Bruegger's Bagels Restaurant.
Do you work at Bruegger's Bagels Restaurant ?. If you work there, this rule blocks you to take the survey. The Company establishes employee participation rules. So this survey should not be done by employees. It is because your position as an employee can affect your judgment. Then your position can have a positive and negative effect. For example your views on the restaurant management system. Then your disappointment with something. While the company expects honest and objective comments. So companies can improve their services. So before doing a survey, look back who you are. Here are the people who are not eligible to survey:
- You are a restaurant employee.
- You are a business partner of Bruegger's Bagels Restaurant.
- Then, you live in one household with employees.
- You have family relationships with employees.
- Terms of Bruegger's Coupons.
The company establishes your reward rules. Once you have surveyed, you will get a validation code. The code should be written on your receipt. Then it means you have a coupon. You can redeem the coupon on your next visit. Then you will get 3 Bagels for free. Wow, this is amazing !. Before you redeem the coupon, you should know the following terms:
- You may not duplicate your coupon.
- You are not allowed to sell your coupons.
- In one day you may only redeem one coupon only.
- Your coupon has an expiry date. Then your coupon expiry date is 14 days since you took the survey. So you must trade for 14 days. If you exceed the expiration date, your validation code is invalid.
- You can only redeem coupons with 3 Bagels. Then you can not redeem coupons with other menus.
- Coupons can not be redeemed in cash.
- Terms of Bruegger's Bagels Survey

Even if you have more than 5 receipts, you can only use 5 receipts only. Then in 1 visit, you can redeem only 1 coupon. So you have to redeem other coupons on different days. We think this survey rule is very easy. But we hope you do not try to break any rules. If you have not qualified, then you can try it later.
Preparation for Brueggerssurvey.
Are you eligible to conduct a survey ?. If you are eligible to take this survey, then you need to prepare a survey. Preparation for this survey is quite simple. Preparation of this survey is similar to other online surveys. If you have never done a survey, you do not have to worry. Because we write clearly the needs of the survey. So you just need to do our instructions correctly. If your preparation is good, then your survey will be smooth. But if your preparation is bad, then maybe your survey will be disrupted. Here is a need to do a survey:
- Tool to access Brueggerssurvey.
First, you need to prepare the tools for the survey. The ideal device we recommend for surveys is computers and laptops. Because computers and laptops have a large screen display. So that advantage makes it easy for you to read survey guides and questions. Then both devices have a conventional keyboard. Making it easier for you when entering the survey answers. But you can also use your smartphone and tablet. Unfortunately, smartphones and tablets have a smaller screen display. So you should be more careful when conducting a survey. Of course, you do not want to make mistakes during the survey. So consider your comfort when choosing a device.
- Internet connection to access the website.
Next, you need to prepare internet connection. Your device must be connected to the internet. Without an internet connection, your device can not access the survey website. Then you can use any internet provider. Consider the access speed and signal type. Because your location can affect signal strength. Then the signal strength affects the internet provider's access speed. So make sure your location is supported by internet service. Currently, there are two kinds of Internet signals. Internet signals are 3G and 4G. Then you have to adjust the signal type with the capabilities of your device. Choose an internet provider wisely. The stronger your signal, then the access speed will increase. Thus your survey will be smooth. Of course, you do not want to make the mistake of choosing an internet provider.
- English proficiency.
Next, you need to prepare your English skills. Usually, the survey portal provides language settings. Then they give you a choice of language between English or Spanish. Unfortunately, Brueggerssurvey does not provide language settings. So this survey automatically only provides questions in English. If you are able to speak English, then your survey will be easier. Because you can understand questions and instructions well. If you have difficulty speaking English, you can ask your friend for help. Then you can also use an online English dictionary. So you do not have to worry about not being able to complete this survey. Many ways you can try to overcome difficulties in English.
- Legitimate receipt from the restaurant.
Finally, you need to prepare a valid receipt from the restaurant. You can get a receipt after the transaction. So you need to make a transaction first at Bruegger's Bagels Restaurant. After you make a transaction, then you will get a receipt. On the first page of the survey, you must enter the survey code. Information about the survey code is on your receipt.
Remember, your survey code has an expiry date. We've discussed this before. The expiry date of the survey code is 3 days since you made the transaction. So we suggest you immediately do the survey after having a receipt. Because if more than 3 days, your survey code will be forfeited. Of course, you do not want to lose your chance of getting a reward because of this problem. So before the survey, make sure you have a receipt. Then make sure that your receipt has not expired.
How can I complete Brueggerssurvey?
Have you completed all the survey preparations? If you have completed all, now you are ready to conduct a survey. Then you just need to prepare your assessment of the company. You may provide a positive or negative assessment. You just need to recall your experience enjoying the dishes there. Then adjust your judgment with your experience. We recommend providing an honest and objective assessment. Because your opinion becomes the main provision to make changes. Of course, we mean a change for the better. Then they can also make innovations to their ministry. These innovations can attract customers. So business will run smoothly. You do not have to be afraid to fail when doing a survey. Because we will help you with easy steps. Let's do this Brueggerssurvey !.
1. Visit the official Brueggerssurvey website.
The first step is to visit the official survey website. Make sure your device is connected to the internet. Then you just need to enter the website address in your search engine. Next, click on the search or enter button. Furthermore, your browser will bring you to the survey page. If you find it difficult, ask for help from those around you. Here is the official website address of the survey:
2. Enter the survey code in the Brueggerssurvey column.
On the first page, you will see a blank field. Then you have to fill in the column. You must fill in the column with the survey code. Survey code consists of 13 digit number. Then the information is listed on your receipt. So you only need to see your receipts. If you have filled out the survey code, check back your answer. Make sure your survey code matches your receipts. If you feel confident, then click on the "start" button to start the survey.
3. Enter information about the date and time of your visit to the restaurant.
On the next page, you must enter the date and time of your visit. If you forget, you only need to look at your receipts. The receipt has written information about the date and time of your visit. If you have filled in the fields, check back your answer. Make sure the date and time you entered are correct.
- Do your survey now.
Now it's time for you to survey. Prepare your assessment to the company. You can provide positive and negative comments. You just need to adjust your judgment based on your experience. We've talked about this before. You should give an honest opinion. So companies know their weaknesses and strengths. Then they will make innovations to improve their performance.

is a small hill-top village lying on part of the Midvale
Ridge, one of several hill-top villages in this part of
the county.
Location map:
centre of the village is a small triangle of roads, the
oldest of which is the High Street. Here is the parish
church of All Saints, built in about 1180 over the foundations
of an earlier 12th-century church. The church originally
had only a single nave and the side aisles were added
in 1240. Further alterations were carried out in the 14th
century when the roofs of the aisles were raised, the
the south porch added and the chancel rebuilt.
village is well-known as the home of Ripon
College, an Anglican theological training college.
The principal of Ripon College is also vicar of the parish
and over the years practically all who have held this
post have become bishops, notably the former Archbishop
of Canterbury, Dr Runcie, who held the post between 1960/69.
After his retirement in 1991, Robert Runcie took the title
Baron Runcie of Cuddesdon. The Old Palace at Cuddesdon
used to be the official home of the Bishops of Oxford
but was burned to the ground in the mid-20th century.
Cuddesdon is some 6 miles south-east of Oxford lying
between the B480 Oxford to Watlington road and the A40.

Want to make ice cream that taste like you took it from a tub of Häagen-Dazs? Now you can! I took this recipe from Alton Brown on the food network. It turned out great. The texture is rich and velvety like a pint of 4 dollar ice cream. The recipe is for vanilla ice cream, but my family is not a fan of these Western flavors. Instead of vanilla we added durian. Yes durian, the tropical fruit that smells like death. For those of you who are not familiar with durian, this tropical fruit is the size of basketball with a very hard and spiked outer layer. Inside are fist size pillow of fruit that has the consistency of a very ripe avocado, has a sweet buttery flavor, but the smell of death. The smell is definitely an acquired taste as it smell something like the odor additives in propane gas. The basic ice recipe can be changed to your flavor of choice, but this is for a basic vanilla.

Cold Healthy Mango Treat19 Aug
Summer is not summer with out some good cold ice cream. In fact ice cream is good all the time, but eating all the fat and sugar does not agree with my waistline. Sorbets are a good alternative to the classical ice cream with a lot less fat leaving us will close to little guilt after shoving two scoop fulls in our face. Even then, with the concerns with diabetes I have become hesitant with store bought varieties due to the added sugars in sorbet.
The combination of warm weather, sweet cravings and sugar paranoia I was inspired to make my own sorbet. It is mango season right now and mango sorbet is one of my all time favorite flavors. I wanted to make a mango sorbet with a slight twist by adding some basil and chardonnay. The results was this deliciousness. Continue reading

SharePoint online / SharePoint 2013: Sharing variable values between search control and display templates
Recently I came across to a scenario where I need to set the variable in control template and the value of the variable should be accessible in item template and vice versa.
I was showing some data in item templates and using third party pagination for displaying the search result, needed the value of pagination size which is available in control template.
I tried with normal JavaScript variable but due to the scoping in display template it was not available for me inside the item template.
Solution 1:
We can use Windows.variable which is nothing but global variable creation on the scope of the window object and hence will be accessible throughout the scope of windows object.
Control Template:

Item Template:

Solution 2:
Another better alternative is to use the built-in ctx object which is already shared between the control and item display template.
Control Template:

SharePoint 2013: Creating and calling custom JavaScript function in search display template
Hi Friends,
I tried creating normal JavaScript function in display template and tried calling it from other part of template but the function was undefined and not found inside the display template, I got little bit confused as I have created the JavaScript function in same display template but still not able to find it in same display template while calling. We can have couple of ways to resolve the issue.
Solution 1:
After some googling I found the cause of the issue and the solution as well, as follows.
The possible reason is scoping of the display template not allowing to consider external JavaScript function as a part of the scope to call inside display template.
The solution is to create new function on window scope and the call it in the desired place inside display template.
window.MyTestFunction = function(myParam) { // your own logic to work on the param 'myParam' }
Calling the function:
Call My custom JS function
Solution 2:
- Create a JavaScript file (MySampleJS.js) in the Display Templates/Search folder.
- Add the custom JS function in to the MySampleJS.js file.
- Add the following code into thetag below to include the JS file in display template

Happy learning.
SharePoint 2013: Converting GMT/UTC time to local time in XSLT for rendering RSS feed
Hi Friends,
Recently I came across the requirement where the date coming from RSS feed which is in GMT format needed to be converted to local time and display in required format.
As RSSAggregatorWebPart webparts executes on server side and renders the output html in browser, we cannot utilize the rss date to convert to local date.
I tried multiple solution with default XSLT for calling JavaScript function, like CDATA, xsl:comment and try adding script tag but none worked for me.
Finally after struggling I found a way to achieve desired result using onerror handler with img tag.
Solution as fallows –
XSLT changes
Add following section in XSLT, which actually uses the img tag to call the JavaScript function using on error event.
JavaScript changes
Following function we needed to add a separate JS file which will be referred in the master page or add in master page itself and make sure it that JS method gets loaded before the method call in XSLT.
function ConverDateToLocal(pDate, sender) { try { var today = new Date(pDate); var dd = today.getDate(); var mm = today.getMonth() + 1; //January is 0! var yyyy = today.getFullYear(); var hh = today.getHours(); var mmm = today.getMinutes(); /*if(dd<10) { dd='0'+dd } if(mm<10) { mm='0'+mm } */ var restStr = dd + '.' + mm + '.' + yyyy + " " + hh + ":" + mmm; if (sender != null) { var senderid = sender.id; if (senderid) { var senderidsplit = senderid.split('_'); if (senderidsplit.length > 0) { var datedivid = "datediv_" + senderidsplit[1]; if (datedivid) { var datediv = document.getElementById(datedivid); if (datediv != null) { datediv.innerHTML += " :: " + "New ::" + restStr; // After testing folling code should be execuated //datediv.innerHTML = restStr; } } } } } } catch(err) {} }
After applying the XSLT we can see the output like following where first date is GST date and next date is converted local date.
Happy coding.
SharePoint: How to check if page is in edit mode or not in JavaScript
As SharePoint evolved and other client technologies started to become popular and independent we are achieving most of the solution with client side technologies like JavaScript, jQuery and other similar.
Option 1:
var inDesignMode = document.forms[MSOWebPartPageFormName].MSOLayout_InDesignMode.value; if (inDesignMode == "1") { // page is in edit mode } else { // page is in browse mode }
For Wiki pages
var wikiInEditMode = document.forms[MSOWebPartPageFormName]._wikiPageMode.value; if (wikiInEditMode == "Edit") { // wiki page is in edit mode } else { // wiki page is not in edit mode }
Option 2: Using SP.Ribbon.PageState.Handlers.isInEditMode()
ExecuteOrDelayUntilScriptLoaded(function(){ var InEditMode = SP.Ribbon.PageState.Handlers.isInEditMode(); if(InEditMode){ // page is in edit mode } }, 'SP.Ribbon.js');
Option 3: While checking the value in SharePoint search display template we need to use Srch.U.isPageInEditMode Method
var isRollupPageInDisplayMode = Srch.ContentBySearch.isRollupPage(ctx.ClientControl) && !Srch.U.isPageInEditMode();
Happy Learning!
SharePoint 2013: Newly created rendition not working
Recently I was facing an issue with newly created rendition, I created new rendition but the images are not showing the newly created rendition on my development server, also in image picker we not able to see the newly created rendition.
After waiting for some time as well my newly created rendition not worked. After some investigation we figured out that as renditions was previously working fine means blob cache working as expected but after adding new rendition we found that it was not working.
We need to flush the blob cache using PowerShell.
$webApplication = Get-SPWebApplication "http://mytestdomain.com"; [Microsoft.SharePoint.Publishing.PublishingCache]::FlushBlobCache($webApplication);
After flushing the blob cache we are now able to see newly added rendition. For more details please check https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg277249.aspx
Flush action will not be immediate, it will be queued.
Hope this will help, happy learning.

Major Motion Picture
By Robin J Miller, January 2016
Out Innerspace Dance Theatre premières its latest creation in Victoria, January 29 & 30.
It's mid-day on a Tuesday in late November, the day after David Raymond arrived home from performing in Crystal Pite's Polaris at New York City Center. Raymond is still flying from the energy of 65 bodies on stage, the combination of a small core of professionals from Pite's own Kidd Pivot company and dance students from New York University. "The audience loved it," he says. "It was fabulous, amazing."
Now it's time to return again to the work he is creating with Tiffany Tregarthen, his co-artistic director at Out Innerspace Dance Theatre in Vancouver. The ensemble piece for seven dancers is set to have its world première as part of Dance Victoria's Dance Days 2016, at the Metro Studio Theatre, January 29 and 30. After that, Raymond and Tregarthen will spend at least three months touring North America and Europe in another Crystal Pite piece, Betroffenheit (in Victoria at the Royal Theatre, March 11 and 12), and then, in September 2016, they will take the new work on a tour of some 10 or 12 cities across Canada. In between all this, they'll also find time for Modus Operandi, an intensive program they established in 2007 to help young dance artists transition into professional careers. You can now see Modus Operandi graduates in contemporary dance companies across Canada.
It's a jam-packed schedule, which may help explain why the new work just now received its title, Major Motion Picture, something many choreographers prefer to start with. But the title, in this case at least, is merely the final gloss on a piece that's already been nearly three years in the making. "We've had Dave and Tiff here for two creative residencies," says Dance Victoria's executive producer, Stephen White, "using our studios to develop their ideas. We also joined with the CanDance Network of Dance Presenters to formally commission this new work."
That's a tremendous act of faith in a couple who, while they have danced for internationally-renowned chore- ographers like Pite many times, really have only two major dance works to their credit: Vessel (2010) and Me So You So Me (2012). But White is firm in his belief: "To say that they are invested in their art form is the biggest understatement in the world. They have a unique dance vocabulary. It's dynamic, detailed, complex, engaging. They are fresh and innovative. And I am simply in awe at their potential."
Certainly Me So You So Me is an extraordinary piece. A hit big enough to warrant two national tours (it appeared in Victoria at the Metro in 2014), it's a duet between Raymond and Tregarthen that Martha Schabas of the Globe and Mail called "a gorgeous and moving pas de deux" and "both a self-contained love story and a story of life itself," which is all true, but I would add it's also one of the wackiest and most theatrically inventive dance pieces I've ever seen. With off-beat humour and unexpected pathos, exquisite use of rhythms and elements of classic mime and slapstick as well as stunning video effects, Me So You So Me is an entire alternate universe where two astonishingly well-drawn characters explore their relationship with each other.
So how do you top that? You move your examination from the singular to the plural. "You can see the DNA of Me So You So Me" in the new piece, says Raymond. "It's a continued journey, only it's about two groups this time––what we are calling, in rehearsals anyway, The Innocents and The Others––who have to figure out their relationship with each other. They are in a conflict over territory, the territory of the stage. The Innocents are there first, but you start to see more glimpses of The Others and you realize that they are making a claim to the same space. There's also another character, The Representative, who's a guy in a giant overcoat, and he has control over certain parts of their world."
It all sounds very topical, political even, and Raymond confirms that there are echoes of real world events in the piece. "It is a representation of the current day," he says, "with insiders and outliers." Reinforcing the more sinister aspects of the us-versus-them conundrum, there will be live infrared surveillance cameras on stage, and a video screen system that looks "like the Berlin wall or a wall in Gaza." But it's also, says Raymond, a lot of fun. "It's got lots of big dancing and five super highly-physical duets. The characters themselves are also hilarious; they're funny and charming and unpredictable––it's not all sitting in a world of seriousness."
Each group has its own movement and musical style: The Innocents are quick and twitchy, dancing to a score based on Bernard Herrmann's music for Hitchcock thrillers such as North by Northwest; The Others are smoother but wilder at the same time, moving to beat-driven hip hop and electronica. The five dancers joining Raymond and Tregarthen for this piece all graduated from their Modus Operandi school and now work with local Vancouver companies, including 605 Collective and Wen Wei Dance. "It means we have a history of language and communication," says Raymond. "They know our taste and direction, and we don't have to spell everything out."
Vancouver-based Crystal Pite has also had a hand in shaping this new Out Innerspace adventure. Originally from Victoria, Pite performed with Ballet BC and William Forsythe's Ballett Frankfurt before staking a claim, as the New York Times said just a few weeks ago, "as one of the most talented and intriguing choreographers working today." As mentor for this piece, she has been part of a "very fluid process, really a continuing conversation," says Raymond, "where we bring her questions, she sees a section or two, and she gives us advice. She's amazing at extracting the essence of an idea. We're also let in on the inside scoop of her process, from research to collaboration to production."
Asked to summarize what we will see with Major Motion Picture in Victoria this January, Raymond says, "I think this show is a universal story about relationships, as told through the body. It has to do with impulses and desires as individuals and as a group. It has to do with the questions we all ask: Who am I to you? Who are you to me? What do I believe? What do you believe? We want to share these questions with the audience. We're not trying to make a statement, but rather draw a conversation. We want the work to create a platform to discuss and talk and share." And (very important) to laugh, too.
Major Motion Picture will be performed at the Metro Studio, January 29 & 30. See www.dancevictoria.ca for more information and tickets.
