'Pods' that drive themselves
* GM working on new electric vehicles * Hydrogen fuel cell cars by 2015 * Company reveals electric 'pod' plans, too...
Chris Borroni-Bird, GM's director of advanced technology concepts, is looking ever further ahead. By 2030, he says, 60% of the world's population will be concentrated in mega-cities, which will not be able to sustain a personal transport system based on today's model.
He foresees people being moved around in two-wheeler electric pods based on a skateboard-like platform. They will be driven by in-wheel electric motors, can turn in their own length and will be able to be operated manually or to drive themselves.
They are interconnected through a mixture of sensors and GPS-based telematics, so they will be able to avoid each other negating the need for expensive and weighty crash protection structures and can even be operated remotely through a smartphone, so they will be able to park themselves and return to you when summoned. GM calls them Electric Network Vehicles, or EN-Vs.
A pipe dream? GM has had three performing a routine 25 times a day for the six months of the Shanghai Expo, a world trade fair, without problems. We've even driven one it's like operating a life-size computer game, with the same instant sensitivity. We've also watched two going through crash-avoidance and self-parking routines.
While they would not be able to function in today's city environment of bikes, scooters, cars and buses, Borroni-Bird believes that with special lanes such as those reserved for buses or cycles they have a future. Equally, they would work in gated communities where fossil-fuel vehicles are banned. Either way, it is going to require big changes to the roads infrastructure to support them, but it could happen.
'We are already talking to a few people about some projects,' one GM insider told us. China, where the creation of new cities seems to happen almost overnight and there is a huge commitment to an electric-car future, would be the obvious starting point.

Gardening Hints & Tricks
Is gardening your passion? Are you a gardening enthusiast?

Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Marketing Standards EU Exit Guidance
last updated: 2/9/19
While it is the intention of the UK Government to leave the EU with a deal, it is the responsibility of the UK and Scottish Governments to prepare for the possibility of a 'no deal' Brexit. If the UK leaves the EU without a deal some of the import and export processes for fresh fruit and vegetables that are subject to marketing standards will change.
There will be no changes to the process of importing and exporting fresh fruit and vegetables with non-EU third countries in a no-deal scenario.
If the UK leaves the EU without a deal the EU will become a third country for the purposes of trade with the UK. To help facilitate the efficient import of produce from the EU into the UK, importers will not be required to apply for a UK-issued certificate of conformity ahead of arriving in the UK. There will be increased inland inspections of produce to ensure that the quality of produce is maintained. Exporters from Scotland to the EU will be required to apply for a UK-issued certificate of conformity for produce covered by the Specific Marketing Standards which can be obtained by contacting the SASA's Horticulture and Marketing Unit on firstname.lastname@example.com. It is advised that Scottish exporters also contact the appropriate authority in the final destination of their exported produce to obtain a EU-issued certificate of conformity.
For further information the UK Government have issued a guidance note for fruit and vegetable importers, packers, distributors and retailers on the changes to the marketing standards if the UK leaves the EU with no deal.

Ural Owl (Strix uralensis)
Stryx [sic] uralensis
Pallas, 1771,
Ural Mountains, Russia.
Has hybridized very occasionally with S. aluco#R. Race davidi sometimes considered a separate species (as in HBW)#R; while davidi is somewhat darker (score 1) and possesses contrasting concentric lines and marked rim around the facial disc (score 2), it is, however, not distinct in either voice#R or morphometrics; and, whereas it differs from fuscescens, the closest race geographically, in having larger, paler spots on head and mantle and a paler ground colour below, it is unclear how great its differences are from nikolskii, the closest race in appearance. Race liturata intergrades with nominate uralensis. Several other proposed races considered inseparable or result of clinal variation: birds described from Carpathians (carpathica) included within macroura; those from L Baikal to W Amurland (daurica), from Sakhalin (tatibanai) and from NE China and Korea (coreensis) merged with nikolskii; those from C Honshu (momiyamae) included in hondoensis. Nine subspecies recognized.

The Kepler space telescope has discovered more than 1200 new planets including six in a strange solar system known as Kepler-11.
This resource about online graduate schools may be of interest to those who would like to gain the skills to work for NASA at some point.
Kepler explored more than 155,000 stars to find these new plants. 54 of the new worlds are in the habitable zone, a zone that supports an Earth like environment enabling liquid water and possibly life.

Scientists using NASA's Kepler, a space telescope, recently discovered six planets made of a mix of rock and gases orbiting a single sun-like star, known as Kepler-11, which is located approximately 2,000 light years from Earth.
"The Kepler-11 planetary system is amazing," said Jack Lissauer, a planetary scientist and a Kepler science team member at NASA's Ames Research Center, Moffett Field, Calif. "It's amazingly compact, it's amazingly flat, there's an amazingly large number of big planets orbiting close to their star - we didn't know such systems could even exist."
Kepler-11 is a sun-like star around which six planets orbit. At times, two or more planets pass in front of the star at once, as shown in this artist's conception of a simultaneous transit of three planets observed by NASA's Kepler spacecraft on Aug. 26, 2010.
Image credit: NASA/Tim Pyle
In other words, Kepler-11 has the fullest, most compact planetary system yet discovered beyond our own.
"Few stars are known to have more than one transiting planet, and Kepler-11 is the first known star to have more than three," said Lissauer. "So we know that systems like this are not common. There's certainly far fewer than one percent of stars that have systems like Kepler-11. But whether it's one in a thousand, one in ten thousand or one in a million, that we don't know, because we only have observed one of them."
This artist's conception shows the Kepler-11 planetary system and our solar system from a tilted perspective to demonstrate that the orbits of each lie on similar planes.

All of the planets orbiting Kepler-11, a yellow dwarf star, are larger than Earth, with the largest ones being comparable in size to Uranus and Neptune. The innermost planet, Kepler-11b, is ten times closer to its star than Earth is to the sun. Moving outwards, the other planets are Kepler-11c, Kepler-11d, Kepler-11e, Kepler-11f, and the outermost planet, Kepler-11g, which is twice as close to its star than Earth is to the sun.
"The five inner planets are all closer to their star than any planet is to our sun and the sixth planet is still fairly close," said Lissauer.
If placed in our solar system, Kepler-11g would orbit between Mercury and Venus, and the other five planets would orbit between Mercury and our sun. The orbits of the five inner planets in the Kepler-11 planetary system are much closer together than any of the planets in our solar system. The inner five exoplanets have orbital periods between 10 and 47 days around the dwarf star, while Kepler-11g has a period of 118 days.
"By measuring the sizes and masses of the five inner planets, we have determined they are among the smallest confirmed exoplanets, or planets beyond our solar system," said Lissauer. "These planets are mixtures of rock and gases, possibly including water. The rocky material accounts for most of the planets' mass, while the gas takes up most of their volume."
According to Lissauer, Kepler-11 is a remarkable planetary system whose architecture and dynamics provide clues about its formation. The planets Kepler-11d, Kepler-11e and Kepler-11f have a significant amount of light gas, which Lissauer says indicates that at least these three planets formed early in the history of the planetary system, within a few million years.
A planetary system is born when a molecular cloud core collapses to form a star. At this time, disks of gas and dust in which planets form, called protoplanetary disks, surround the star. Protoplanetary disks can be seen around most stars that are less than a million years old, but few stars more than five million years old have them. This leads scientists to theorize that planets which contain significant amounts of gas form relatively quickly in order to obtain gases before the disk disperses.
The Kepler spacecraft will continue to return science data about the new Kepler-11 planetary system for the remainder of its mission. The more transits Kepler sees, the better scientists can estimate the sizes and masses of planets.
"These data will enable us to calculate more precise estimates of the planet sizes and masses, and could allow us to detect more planets orbiting the Kepler-11 star," said Lissauer. "Perhaps we could find a seventh planet in the system, either because of its transits or from the gravitational tugs it exerts on the six planets that we already see. We're going to learn a fantastic amount about the diversity of planets out there, around stars within our galaxy."
A space observatory, Kepler looks for the data signatures of planets by measuring tiny decreases in the brightness of stars when planets cross in front of, or transit, them. The size of the planet can be derived from the change in the star's brightness. The temperature can be estimated from the characteristics of the star it orbits and the planet's orbital period.
The Kepler science team is using ground-based telescopes, as well as the Spitzer Space Telescope, to perform follow-up observations on planetary candidates and other objects of interest found by the spacecraft. The star field that Kepler observes in the constellations Cygnus and Lyra can only be seen from ground-based observatories in spring through early fall. The data from these other observations help determine which of the candidates can be identified as planets.

Kepler will continue conducting science operations until at least November 2012, searching for planets as small as Earth, including those that orbit stars in the habitable zone, where liquid water could exist on the surface of the planet. Since transits of planets in the habitable zone of solar-like stars occur about once a year and require three transits for verification, it is predicted to take at least three years to locate and verify an Earth-size planet.
"Kepler can only see 1/400 of the sky," said William Borucki of NASA's Ames Research Center, Moffett Field, Calif., and the mission's science principal investigator. "Kepler can find only a small fraction of the planets around the stars it looks at because the orbits aren't aligned properly. If you account for those two factors, our results indicate there must be millions of planets orbiting the stars that surround our sun."

Kepler is NASA's tenth Discovery mission. Ames is responsible for the ground system development, mission operations and science data analysis. NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, Calif., managed the Kepler mission development. Ball Aerospace and Technologies Corp., Boulder, Colo., was responsible for developing the Kepler flight system, and along with the Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics at the University of Colorado, is supporting mission operations. Ground observations necessary to confirm the discoveries were conducted at the Keck I in Hawaii; Hobby-Ebberly and Harlan J. Smith 2.7m in Texas; Hale and Shane in California; WIYN, MMT and Tillinghast in Arizona, and the Nordic Optical in the Canary Islands, Spain.

NASA's Kepler space telescope watches a star, Kepler-11. The star appears to blink in a pattern. It dims like clockwork as six "hands" of differing size orbit around it at different rates. Kepler-11 dims when its six orbiting planets cross between it and the Kepler spacecraft. Calculations show the planets are nested in circular orbits that lie in almost the same plane.

NASA's Kepler mission has discovered its first Earth-size planet candidates and its first candidates in the habitable zone, a region where liquid water could exist on a planet's surface. Five of the potential planets are near Earth-size and orbit in the habitable zone of smaller, cooler stars than our sun.

I used to hate looking at my email inbox.
After busting my blogging tail for days, weeks, or even months, I saw no money, no opt ins, little traffic and basically nothing for my blogging efforts.
Fast forward a number of years.
I care little about the outcomes of my work.
Watch my Facebook Live video for the 1 tip to avoid being weighed down with anchor-like blogging outcomes:
I was so freaking afraid of running out of money, traffic, comments and pretty much all things in my life that I based my entire blogging campaign from the perspective of a loser. I am not being harsh on myself. I am saying that I used to do all I did, blogging-wise, with loss in mind.
Take right now: at 10 PM on a weeknight after a super busy blogging day, no way in Hades I would set aside 20 minutes to write this post, 5 years ago. I would see writing a post as a waste of time. Especially at this hour. Because I felt no matter what I did, I would lose. I'd lose money. I certainly would not earn profits on my work.
Worse than that, the very extra mile I needed to walk to build a successful blog was the mile I skipped. Since I viewed doing more as working too hard, or forcing things, or at a bare minimum, a silly use of my time. I could be watching TV. Or sleeping.
The fear-based mindset which dominated my being rested solely on my terrible, anchor-like attachment to outcomes. I would write a few posts. I would place a few guest posts. Comment on a few top blogs. For like 3-4 weeks.
Then when I checked blogging outcomes – profits, traffic, comments, social shares, etc – and saw little or zero progress I would crash and burn. I predominantly tried to *get*. My energy said *getting*.
Unfortunately, unless you predominantly try to give (with your energy saying "giving") you will attach more heavily to outcomes, blog from a conditional space, fear failure, and ultimately, you will struggle terribly or you will flat out fall flat on your blogging face.
Being tied down by stats like traffic, blogging profits and comments holds you back from being the superstar, brilliant blogger you were meant to be.
Here's what you do: feel the fear behind the attachment.
I got into blogging for the wrong reasons – predominantly – nearly a decade ago. I wanted to free myself through blogging but I was also in survival mode, seeing blogging as a meal ticket, trying to squeeze money through my blog.
I blogged mainly to see numbers in my bank account. When the numbers did not show up for months, or even, years, my attachment to the outcome grew stronger, as did my fears of running out, and as the numbers in my bank account dwindled, I lost hope.
Eventually, I was so freaking fed up with failing and with checking stats, feeling crushed, getting angry and flipping out I chose to feel the fear behind my heavy attachments to blogging outcomes so I could follow my fun.
I cried some. I got angry. But I eventually cleared many of these blogging related fears. So then I was free to blog mainly for fun, with love, which helped me detach more from outcomes. This also helped me become successful a bunch more quickly versus the old blogging me.
What blogging outcomes are you heavily attached to? Why?
Have you felt the fear behind these attachments?
What's stopping you from admitting your attachments?
Are you blogging mainly for your passion? Or for profits?
Are you following your fun? Or avoiding your fears?

Washington Insider -- Tuesday
Questions About Border Adjustment Tax
Here's a quick monitor of Washington farm and trade policy issues from DTN's well-placed observer.Pruitt to Address EPA Employees
After the Senate confirmation of Oklahoma Attorney General Scott Pruitt to become President Trump's administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency, Pruitt will address agency employees Tuesday.
The Senate confirmed Pruitt 52-46. The vote was held amid an intensified campaign by Democratic lawmakers to stall the vote.
Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky. said "enough is enough" to the Democratic opposition on the floor ahead of the vote. He said confirming Trump's Cabinet has taken the "longest" amount of time "since George Washington," which he said should not be seen as a record of pride for the minority party.
McConnell said the delaying tactics "won't change the outcome of the election last November," but instead are keeping the government from serving the American people.
***Supreme Court Gives Extra Time for Challenges on WOTUS Jurisdiction
More time will be allowed for the National Association of Manufacturers (NAM) to file its opening brief with the U.S. Supreme Court arguing why a federal district court is best suited to hear challenges to the Environmental Protection Agency's Waters of the US (WOTUS) rule.
NAM and others that back its position can file their brief by March 29, the nation's top court said Feb. 15, instead of the original date of Feb. 27. The government's response, which favors an appellate over a district court review, would typically be due a month later. Timothy Bishop, an attorney in Mayer Brown LLP's Chicago office who represents the manufacturers, told Bloomberg BNA he expects the government also will seek an extension to file its response until after Memorial Day.
Manufacturers sought an extension after the Supreme Court informed them oral arguments would not he held until the October session in this case, Bishop said. The Supreme Court agreed January 13 to hear a petition filed NAM. The group questioned the decision by the US Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit to establish itself as the venue to hear challenges to the currently stayed WOTUS rule, which seeks to clarify Clean Water Act (CWA) jurisdictions.
The government backed the Sixth Circuit's interpretation of the CWA provision, which NAM contends was an erroneous reading of the statute. A coalition of industry and business groups backs NAM's petition, led by the American Farm Bureau Federation (AFBF) and a coalition of states that includes Oklahoma.
No environmental group currently backs the government's position. They say they prefer to be involved when the courts decide on the rule itself, rather than a procedural matter of which court should review the rule.
Washington Insider: Questions About Border Adjustment Tax
Well, nobody said creating a new tax policy would be easy and now Bloomberg is reporting that "the GOP faces a tax plan dilemma."
It notes that heavy GOP hitters are pushing back against the House proposal, which could mean, Bloomberg says, that "House Republicans may need to rethink their border adjustment approach" to tax imports. Two leading senators have reported that they doubt the proposal could pass their chamber.
"I don't see that happening, not the way the House has configured it," Senate Finance Committee Chairman Orrin Hatch R., Utah, said last weekend. "I can't say there won't be something done in that area."
Nevertheless, the lack of Senate Republican support is being interpreted as indicating that the House plan will need to undergo significant changes in order to become law this year.
President Donald Trump, who is expected to release his own tax outline in the coming weeks, has said border adjustability is too complicated. "Retailers, oil refiners and other import-reliant businesses are lobbying heavily against it," Bloomberg says. It quotes Senate Majority Whip John Cornyn, R-Texas. "The House template has encountered quite a bit of skepticism on the border-adjustment issue, so I don't think it's going to be a viable part of the tax reform,"
Sens. Tom Cotton, R-Ark., and David Perdue R-Ga., have previously gone public with concerns about the House GOP border adjustment plan, as has Cornyn, and Hatch reiterated the "real concerns" he has with it. "We don't know exactly what it's going to look like at the end," he said.
House Ways and Means Chairman Kevin Brady, R-Texas, said he wants to address the concerns senators have about the plan, but also said he won't support a plan that doesn't include provisions to tax foreign products the same as American-made goods.
Republicans in the House and Senate are under pressure from business groups to push through a plan that lowers corporate rates this year, which is seen as a once-in-a-generation opportunity to overhaul the tax code. If Congress doesn't get legislation to Trump's desk in 2017, there will likely be an uptick in companies seeking foreign acquirers to move outside the U.S. tax net, Louise Weingrod, Johnson & Johnson Inc.'s vice president of global taxation, said.
"I think it's obvious that companies will not be able to sustain hope for another 30 years to get another window like the one that we have this year," she said Feb. 17 at a Tax Council Policy Institute event in Washington. "Because we have so much reason to hope, the stakes are very high if we fail. There is not an option not to get to the finish line on this."
Across the business world both support and opposition coalitions have formed, Bloomberg says. Johnson & Johnson is part of a group that applauds the plan, along with General Electric Co. and Boeing Co. However, the conservative Americans for Prosperity group launched a campaign Feb. 16 aimed at persuading House and Senate Republicans to oppose border adjustments.
House Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wis., one of the main border adjustability cheerleaders in the House, is confident about Congress' ability to act this year. "More and more" U.S. companies are going to leave the country if the tax laws aren't changed, he said.
"We're going to get tax reform done," Ryan told reporters Feb. 16. "And there's going to be a whole bunch of drama you're going to enjoy covering between now and then."
In recent weeks, business community opposition to the border tax adjustment plan appears to have grown steadily, especially from companies who rely on imports for part of their supply chain. The House Speaker's support appears to reflect the attraction of a large stream of tax revenues that could offset lower corporate tax rates—but, the spotlight has recently shifted to both corporate and consumer impacts, making the tax debate both more complicated and uncertain and should be watched closely by producers as it proceeds, Washington Insider believes,

Moving out to a new home from your old house can be an emotional phase for some people but most people find this extremely exhausting and tiring for rational reasons. It will take time to plan everything right and also, you will have to spend a good amount of money on professional movers. Even though you try to plan everything right, you will get annoyed at the end of the day because moving out can be really stressful. Specially, when you have a family or kids, you will have to take extra caution and moving out from your home will take a lot of effort too. Instead of relying too much on professional movers and other service providers, you can consider these few tips and make it less stressful.
First, consider finding the right place to move out. Obviously that should always be your first priority because it will be quite useless if the new location that you have chosen does not meet your expectations. Find a decent place such as services apartments Queenstown to settle down and always make sure to focus on finding reliable and reputed property managers and landlords. Even though there are heaps of new and renovated properties available, only a few of them will have a solid reputation. It is important to find a reliable place for obvious reasons instead of opting out for cheaper options. As you might already know, most properties and houses have high ratings and price tags. As a result, most people tend to seek cheaper options instead of considering the actual quality of a property. However, it is vital to focus on the quality since you will be making a long term investment. If your property is not worth the money, you will waste your investments.
As mentioned earlier, you will eventually have to seek professional help if you want to move out without much hassle. There are hundreds of professional movers out there but only a handful of them will be reputed and have the right expertise, workforce and equipment to handle your needs. Make sure to find a reputed and a well-experienced service provider if you want results that worth your money.
Having the right plan will always save a lot of time as well as money. That is why you have to pay a good attention to planning your moving out in advance. Pick a comfortable date and start packing things before you hire professional service providers. With the right plans, you will always get things done quite conveniently.

If you would find yourself sneering at the mention of a mahloowoo (Aqaurien for fish fart) or scoffing at someone telling you about a recent spouting (Aquarien for a dolphin blowing air out of their blowhole up someone's backside), you might be better off picking up a newspaper and playing sudoku or doing a crossword puzzle. This book is NOT for you.
On the other hand, if you love adventure, talking animals, heartache, mystery, mythology, some good ole butt-kickin', AND mermaids/mermen this book IS for you.
You've made it this far. Here's your reward:
"'Crabs talk?' asked Benji.
'Everything in nature speaks. Not everything in nature listens,' said Octavius nodding Topside."
Benji Fisher has spent the first twelve years of his life growing up in a small fishing town, Topside. He's gotten used to the gang of dolphins who follow him on his surfboard and the voices he hears under the water; odd things that have, in their repetition, become part of normal everyday life.
However, none of that prepares him for the recruitment speech he gets from an octopus named Octavius and three of the dolphins the night before his thirteenth birthday.
What would you do if your 'calling' in life required you to take a leap of faith? Would you take the plunge?
Begin serious side note. (Said with a deep voice.)
There is a message in the book. It's pretty loud and clear, but it's slightly overshadowed by the sheer size of the world you're about to find yourself exploring. Don't worry. I completely understand the importance of the message and it's something I am working on developing over the course of several books.
My hope is that you find yourself so unbelievably entranced in the underwater world of Aquari, that you'll gravitate toward interests in seeing our real world oceans and the creatures who call her home loved, nurtured, and revered. I understand the gravity of what I am dealing with, and I promise to pay the oceans, our mother, the respect she deserves. You have my word.
End serious side note.
Now……GO GET WET!!

It's my first time to use blender. I've been looking for youtube tutorials and other use modeling, others are sculpting. I don't know what to use. Modeling seems more precise and more accurate but sculpting seems easier than modeling. I've been modeling an original anime style character for a while now but I'm sure if I'll continue that or switch to sculpting. What should I use and when to use these two? Also, is this that right place to ask these kind of questions?
3$\begingroup$ It's not the best place to ask such broad and opinion based questions, although you can take this as an biased advice. Sculpt organic things and model hard surface ones. This is more or less general rule, but you can model an apple or sculpt robot, whatever is easier for you. $\endgroup$ – cgslav Jan 7 '18 at 16:35
I'd say that modeling should be used to actually 'setup' the model, while sculpting is for making the details in the model. This because, as you said, modeling is more precise, and you'd probably want precision in your models, (also you can use a mirror modifier if you want symmetry) and after that, say you're making a tree or something, you can sculpt it (unless you're making rocks or something). I saw a video where someone directly shows this. Video
While as Luke mentions this is mostly an opinion based question, subject to personal preference, and largely dependent on what you are trying to achieve, I'll only add that while I see as sculpting a good starting point for planning the base shape of a model or as a finalizing step to add fine details over it, I find that in most situations it is often not a good "final product" on its own.
Sculpting will frequently produce triangulated output and messy meshes especially if using Dynamic Topology-like features. This results in poor topology that is largely unsuitable for the most common tasks that follow to produce a proper final product, like UV Mapping, rigging, armatures, making it hard to animate, tweak or texture.
This will not yield a pleasant model to work with, easy to edit or alter, as such I see sculpting more as a starting point then a final result.
If you plan to unwrap or UV map your model, animate, use modifiers, optimize your mesh or do anything involving exporting elsewhere (like game engines) you will eventually need a good base model, hand modeled with intent and proper quad dominant high quality topology.
$\begingroup$ I'm actually planning to use it in an indie game. What should I use then for a good final product? $\endgroup$ – Marviuz Jan 9 '18 at 5:21
$\begingroup$ A quad based topology model like the ones in the linked page $\endgroup$ – Duarte Farrajota Ramos♦ Jan 9 '18 at 11:53

The first slice of Hokuto ga Gotoku gameplay was debuted during SEGA's TGS 2017 live stream, and it'll look pretty familiar to fans of the Yakuza series. While gameplay and combat looks to be similar, there's no denying that the Fist of the North Star flair is also added to the intense action. The PlayStation 4 title is set to release on February 22, 2018 in Japan. If you missed the Hokuto ga Gotoku TGS trailer, it's definitely worth viewing.
Check out the first Hokuto ga Gotoku gameplay footage from TGS 2017 below:
Here's some other recent information on the Fist of the North Star Yakuza title:
First of all, we have the well-known major antagonist of Fist of the North Star, Raoh. He is the eldest of the four Hokuto Shinken brothers, and he wants to use the techniques he learned to unify the chaotic lands with violence and iron fist, which leads him to be known as Ken-oh (The Fist King).
In Hokuto ga Gotoku, Raoh will be voiced by Masami Iwasaki, who is known in the Yakuza series as Ryuji Goda's voice actor.
In the original Fist of the North Star series, Rihaku was known as the leader of Nanto Five Chariot Stars, a group of five officers who swore their allegiance to Nanto's last general. In Hokuto ga Gotoku however, he is introduced as one of the rare doctors who work in Eden's clinic. Despite working as a doctor, Rihaku knows a lot of things about martial arts, and also situations outside Eden, which leads some to think he might not be an ordinary doctor.
Rihaku will be voiced by Kazuhiro Yamaji, who has been voicing Detective Makoto Date in Yakuza series.
Hokuto ga Gotoku will release February 22, 2018 for PlayStation 4.

We are very excited about the E-Classroom! Throughout the year, we hope to post samples of our interactive stories, videos, photo galleries, assembly items and a wide range of classroom work. Another new venture for both year 1 classes will be the 'Buddy' program. As our students grow in confidence, we will post a link via the E-Classroom so parents can track the progress of their children.
