a character generator for generating character information to be recorded on a recording medium;
an AND gate, one input terminal of which receives the output of said character generator;
heater means for receiving the output of said AND gate and for causing an ink jet nozzle to eject droplets of a recording fluid in response to said AND gate's output;
a keyboard provided with an instruction key for instructing the number of outputs of said AND gate; and
a control section connected to another input terminal of said AND gate for controlling the number of outputs from said AND gate in accordance with the operation of said instruction key.
This invention relates to an electronic device provided with recording unit in which liquid is made to generate air bubbles by the action of thermal energy and the liquid is made to discharge by the operating force based on the change in the phase of the air bubbles. Further, this invention offers an electronic device capable of representing dense and light print density such as half tone by controlling the number of times of discharge.
In the conventional so called thermal print system where thermal head is made to touch heat sensitive paper to develop color, the time required for the chemical changes for color development on the heat sensitive paper is comparatively long. Therefore in order to repeat electric transmission a plural number of times such as two times or three times, that much more time is required and as a result it was difficult to repeat a plural times while securing practically necessary printing speed. Moreover, high density was not always obtained by leaving the head pressed at the same position of the heat sensitive paper and transmitting electricity a plural number of times.
In the thermal ink jet system according to this invention, however, since the air bubbles are generated at high speed by heat generation, resultant practical printing speed is not damaged by repeating air bubbles generation many times and discharging the ink many times.
Moreover, since by discharging ink many times to the same position of the printing paper the amount of ink injected to the point of the printing paper is increased, the dot diameter caused by running ink is increased and becomes dense, the large contrast effect of the print is obtained.
Moreover, in the conventional ink jet system, for example, the system in which piezo electric element is used and ink is discharged by the mechanical distortion of ink leading tube, it was hard to obtain contrast of print by large number of times of discharge of ink for reason of limitation caused by response speed of the mechanical distortion and for the following reasons.
For constructional reason of establishing piezo electric elements around the lead-out tube, it was hard to arrange a large number of the lead-out tubes so close to one another as the proper character dot pitches. Accordingly, the method in which many dots are discharged by moving a small number of lead-out tubes mechanically in the vertical or horizontal direction of the character was employed in many cases. In this case, time is naturally required in the mechanical shifting and operation.
Therefore, it was necessary to end this movement and stopping in smallest possible time in order to obtain required printing speed. However, there is limit in machine speed. For this reason, it was difficult to perform a large number of times of ink discharge without sacrificing practical printing speed.
On the contrary, in the thermal ink jet system according to this invention, since its construction is so simple as to fill a large number of grooves provided on one surface of the base board with ink and to give thermal energy selectively corresponding to the grooves, recording can be made as close to each other as the same degree of the dot pitches of practical character similar to the thermal head for conventional heat sensitive paper.
Accordingly, by employing such a multi-head configuration as this, mechanical driving of the head becomes unnecessary and improvement of printing speed is attained without adding the time required in the mechanical driving.
Moreover, a large number of times of ink discharge can be made within the range of practical printing speed.
Furthermore, the number of liquid drops discharged at the same time can also be controlled easily.
Now the configuration and operation of each section of an embodiment will be described in detail referring to the drawing.

FIGS. 8(A), (B) and (C) are drawings which compare and explain that the discharged ink represents density as large and small dots on the printing paper.
FIG. 9 is the slant view of another embodiment.
FIGS. 10(A) and (B) are the cross section thereof.
FIGS. 11(A) and (B) show an example of the driving circuit thereof.
FIGS. 12(A), (B), and (C) show the comparison of prints.
FIGS. 13 and 14 are the drawings for other embodiments.
In FIG. 1, the recorder unit 1 consists of a lid baseboard 2 having a duct which serves as the ink leadout pipe, a heater base board 3 provided with a heater, wiring and electrodes corresponding to said groove, an ink tank 4, ink supply case 5, ink receiver 6 and a pump 6' which collect and return overflowed ink, a signal wire 7, other things such as ink pipe. However, the ink receiver 6, and the collecting pump 6' can be omitted if ink is prevented from flowing out by adjusting pressure.
The liquid drop 8 of the ink discharged from the nozzle formed by said lid baseboard 2 with groove and said heater baseboard 3 represent dots letters and figures on the printing paper 9.
The printing paper 9 is fed upward by the rotation of paper feed roller 12 which is activated through the transmission mechanism 11 consisting of gears by the power of the motor 10.
If here, the full multihead configuration is used in which said grooves and heaters are arranged close to each other in required dot number and at predetermined dot pitches, this head unit 1 is not required to be shifted at all. In the above-mentioned configuration the heaters, which correspond to the required dots in a line in horizontal direction, are first electrically selected and, by the bubble formation in the grooves corresponding to these heaters, the ink is pushed out and liquid drops are discharged. Next, after the printing paper has been sent upward by 1 dot pitch by the power of said motor, necessary dots on one line in horizontal direction are printed in similar manner. By repeating these operations for required number of lines, the required letters and drawings are represented.
For example, in order to print characters of 20 places on one line by employing the 5 horizontal×7 vertical dots per character system frequently used in the representation of characters, it is sufficient to form a head unit having 5×20=100 grooves and to feed paper 7 times.
FIG. 2 is the exploded view of record head. On the lid baseboard with grooves, a plural number of grooves 13, which correspond to the required number of dots, are carved almost parallel to each other and on the heater baseboard 3 heaters 14 are formed on the midway section of the groove, facing these grooves and corresponding to each groove.
As the method for forming a plural number of heaters on the baseboard, similar to the ordinary method of forming multithermal head, universally known techniques or similar technique are used as semiconductor technique, thin film, thick film technique, and the surface of the baseboard is smoothened in order to obtain better contact with grooved lid baseboard 2. Each of the heaters 14 is wired by way of wiring pattern 15 on the baseboard and the electrode 16 to the signal line 7 consisting of that cable etc., and driven electrically.
FIG. 3 is a magnified view of the head unit. FIG. 3(A) is the side view, FIG. 3(C) is the cross-sectional view from sideway (A--A cross section in FIG. 3(B)), FIG. 3(B) shows discharge port or the cross sectional view (B--B cross section in FIG. 3(C)) from orifice OF side.
In FIG. 3(C) when the heater 14 is powered and heated, the ink in the groove 13, which is in contact with the heater by way of the protecting layer, is heated and the air bubbles 21 are rapidly generated, and being pushed out by the pressure the ink is rapidly discharged in the form of liquid drops 8 from the discharge port. By conducting electrically and heating the heaters, which correspond to required dots selectively and either simultaneously or sequentially, the ink in the corresponding grooves is discharged rapidly from orifice OF and recorded on the printing paper 9. The air bubbles disappear there. If here the position of heater 14 is too close to the orifice OF side, the air bubbles 21 are also discharged together with the liquid drops and may break and disperse the liquid drops 8. If on the contrary the heater 14 is placed too far away from the orifice OF, the liquid drops 8 may not be discharged. This is the reason why the heater 14 is placed at midway position.
The configuration and operation of an electronic desk calculator will be explained in the following as an example of electronic devices in which the thermal ink jet recording unit shown in the above drawings is built in.
In FIG. 4, the arithmetic and logic unit 18 performs together with the memory unit 19 necessary operations and processings such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division, memory storage and reading based on data input as number setting from keyboard and each operation command.
Here, the data required to be recorded such as the numbers to be operated and the results of arithmetic operations are sent to the control unit 20 based on the command of keyboard 17 and by way of the arithmetic and logical unit 18 and there compiled into data format required for recording.
Further, these data are encoded in heater control circuit into dot output necessary for each character by way of character generator and sent to each thermal head selectively by way of the heater driver circuit 22.
On the other hand, in order to perform paper feed for 1 dot every time the selective transmission of electricity in each dot line, the signal caused by the motor control circuit 23 is applied to the motor by way of the motor driving circuit 24, and the printing paper 9 is fed by the rotation of the roller.
The printer unit 29 consists together with the ink supply unit 25 composed of the ink tank 4, ink supply case 5, etc., of heater and nozzle unit 26, and motor and roller 27 and necessary dot printing is made by the repetition of the ink discharge caused by selective transmission of electricity of the heater and the repetition of paper feed by the motor.
Necessary power is supplied to each section from the power supply 28.
Moreover, the method in which electricity is transmitted to each head in time-sharing system with wirings of matrix formation made by connecting heaters of the dots corresponding to each position in common, is employed in the heater driving circuit 22.
The main sections of the heater control circuit 22 are shown in FIG. 6 where the sections control the multiple times of ink discharge.
As described above, the input data 30 coming from the arithmetic and logic unit 18 and control unit 20 are input to the character generator 31. The digit counter 32 which counts the number of digits designates one digit of input data and at the same time the contents of the counter are decoded by the decoder 33 to form each digit signal D1 -Dn as shown in FIG. 7(B). These digit signals, D1 -Dn are applied to each digit of the heater by way of the driver circuit 22.
To the character generator 31 is output the code output 36 of the dots whose line is designated by the dot line counter 35 and which correspond to the input data 30 whose digit has been designated as described above. In the case of 5×7 dots per character as described above, the dot line counter is on radix 7 and the code output 36 becomes 5 lines.
The cases of the 1 time discharge per digit and of 2 time discharge per digit are selected by the flip-flop 39. It is assumed here that in FIG. 7, the basic timing signals T1 -T4 are repeated as shown in FIG. 7(A) and each digit signal D1, D2 . . . Dn of FIG. 7(B) synchronized to the trailing edge of T4.
Whether the printing is made in half tone or dense in full tone is commanded by the keyboard. Based on this command, the set or reset input signal of flip-flop 39 is applied selectively by way of the control unit 20. For example the method in which exclusive keys used to select whether deep printing or light printing will be made are provided or the method in which deep and light commands are sent by deciding the kinds of keys in the control circuit 20 such as making light printing for the numbers operated by × ÷ keys and making deep printing of the results of arithmetic operation given by = key is used.
In other words, when the flip-flop 39 is set by the set input 37 of the flip-flop 39, its output, together with the timing T3, is ORed with the timing T1 by the OR gate 43 via the AND gate 42.
In other words, both T1 and T2 are applied to each AND gate 44 together with each of character code outputs 36.
Accordingly, H1 -H5 of each head driving signal 45 are output 2 times at time of each digit of each signal H1 -H5. Ink is discharged two times by the 2-time driving of the head and a large ink spread is made on the printing paper as shown in FIG. 8(B).
On the contrary, in the case where the reset input 38 is applied to the reset input terminal of the flip-flop 39 as shown in FIG. 6, the AND gate 42 will not open and the output of the OR gate 43 is only T1, and the output 45 of each signal H1 -H5 is made one time for each digit as shown in FIG. 7(C).
Accordingly, compared with the case when driving is made two times, the amount of the ink is halved and makes a small dot on the printing paper as shown in FIG. 8(A), which appear to human eye as a light half tone. As has been described so far the number of times of ink discharge can be selected and accordingly the amount of ink on the printing paper, dot diameter, or dot density can be controlled by a simple configuration attained by adding one flip-flop and small number of gates beside a set of character generator and counter.
This enables electronic type desk calculator to represent distinctions between the number of grooves and results of arithmetic operation and between the numbers used in arithmetic operations and the date print as easily understandable print density.
FIG. 8(C) shows an example where feed pitch of the printing paper is reduced in order to reduce the vertical dot intervals at time of half tone.
Although in this embodiment selection of one time discharge and two time discharge were taken as an example, it is evident that by making a small addition to the logical circuit more dense print can be obtained with three or more times the discharge.
Moreover, the method of selecting the number of dots in the unit area on the printing paper by deflecting the flight direction of liquid drops by means of static deflection or magnetic deflection in order to represent density tone on the printing paper is also known.
However, since this method requires a large scale device for deflection, it is inpracticable in the electronic type desk calculator where only characters are printed.
Furthermore, as the methods for obtaining dense or light print, such methods as selecting the nozzle diameter for the purpose of selecting the size of the diameter of ink drops or as selecting the voltage to be applied to the head can be considered.
However, these methods need a complicated technique in the determination of nozzle structure and in the selector circuit of applied voltage.
Contrary to this since in this invention the ink is only discharged to the same point for a plural number of times, the nozzle structure and driving mechanism need no additional parts and since only a portion of logic circuit is attached to the control circuit, the practical effect is great.
Especially, in an electronic type desk calculator where all arithmetic, logical, and control circuit are LSIed (large scale integrated circuitized), addition of logical circuit in the LSI is advantageous expensewise as compared to the addition of mechanical structure.
An embodiment in which control is made to discharge liquid drops from a single nozzle by a single dot information source has been described. An embodiment in which the discharge from a plural number of nozzles is controlled and driven will be described hereafter.
In the embodiment shown in FIGS. 1-8, one dot information, for example CHI among the code outputs 36 drives HI among the head driving signals 45 by way of the gate 44 as shown in FIG. 5, and in FIG. 6, one heater is supplied with electricity and heated when HI is synchronized with one of the time division signals DD1-DDn, and the ink drops are discharged from one nozzle for one time or for plural number of times. In the embodiment shown in the following FIGS. 9-14, driving is made so that a plural number of liquid drops are discharged from a plural number of nozzles caused by a single dot information output signal. By this means the quality of the print is further improved and the density of the print can be selected by a simple control.
FIG. 9 is a slant view describing the recording head unit which is almost similar to the one shown in FIG. 2 above.
In FIG. 9, grooves are formed on upper and lower stages GT11, GT11', GT21, GT21' to have a plural number of orifices OF11, OF11' OF21, OF21' in vertical direction and corresponding to each two sheets of heater base board SB1 and SB2 are constructed at upper and lower sections. In the horizontal direction two each of heaters, for example TH21 and TH21', are connected parallelwise on the baseboard.
FIG. 10 shows the cross section of the head unit shown in FIG. 9. FIG. 10(A) shows the cross section viewed from the orifice side and FIG. 10(B) shows the cross section at one groove viewed from the lateral direction. If here, for example, two grooves adjacent in horizontal direction to each other and two grooves corresponding in vertical direction are totaled, and the four grooves GT11, GT11', GT21, GT21' are controlled simultaneously or time divisionally by the driving signal from one dot information, four liquid drops are discharged either simultaneously or time-divisionally.
In other words, in the two sheets of heater base boards SB1 and SB2 shown in FIG. 9 two adjacent heaters TH11 and TH11', and TH21 and TH21' are respectively connected electrically parallelwise, led to the driving circuit by the signalling cables CB1 and CB2 and, if further, heaters corresponding vertically are connected parallelwise, a total of four heaters are connected in parallel.
In such connection, if one dot information and onetime division signal are supplied, the four heaters are heated simultaneously and four liquid drops are discharged simultaneously.
This example of electrical connection is shown in FIG. 11.
FIG. 11(A) shows two heaters TH11 and TH11' connected in parallel as described above. This corresponds to one of the two sheets of heater base board shown in FIG. 9.
In other words, although the drawing is omitted, if one more set of the same circuit connection formation as shown FIG. 11(A) is provided and, if for each signal HD1-HD5 and DD1-DDn, signals on these two sheets which correspond to them are connected, each becomes parallel. Similarly it is possible to make 2 sheets of heater base boards parallel by connecting two heaters TH11 and TH11' in series as shown in FIG. 11(B).
Including other parallel-serial combinations, four heaters can be driven simultaneously in each case. It is also possible to drive time-divisionally the upper side heater base board SD1 and lower side heater base board SB2 by sharing the time. Of course, it is also effective to combine and drive a plural number of heaters such as two, three, five, seven, six, eight etc., not limiting to four heaters.
Now, the difference in dot representation on the printing paper will be compared in FIG. 12 for the case, for example, two vertical and two horizontal heaters are driven simultaneously and four liquid drops are discharged simultaneously.
FIG. 12(A) shows the example of print given by the embodiment shown in FIGS. 1-8 mentioned above, where one liquid drop is discharged and represented on the printing paper as a dot by one dot information.
On the contrary, in the present embodiment, since four dots are recorded by one dot information as shown in FIG. 12(B), each corner of the character is represented sharply and the print quality is improved. Moreover, if formation is so made that the upper and lower heater base board described above are controlled separately on the driving circuit side and if selection is made to drive only, for example, the upper side heater base board, since upper two dots are recorded by a single dot information as shown in FIG. 12(A), the total density becomes one half of FIG. 12(B) and the half tone is represented.
In FIGS. 9, 10, and 11, an embodiment was described in which one heater is made to correspond to one groove and these combinations are connected either in series or in parallel. FIG. 13 shows an embodiment which is provided with a heater having a width sufficient to correspond to two adjacent grooves and to heat the ink in these two grooves simultaneously.
According to this embodiment, there is no need of connecting heaters either in serial or in parallel in horizontal direction and by connecting in serial-parallel the two corresponding heaters in upper direction or by separately driving time divisionally, a total of four liquid drops are discharged.
In FIG. 9 and in FIGS. 10(A) and (B) an example in which two stages of grooves in vertical direction are formed in parallel was explained.
FIG. 14 shows the cross sectional view of an embodiment in which the directions of upper and lower grooves converge on the orifice side. This enables the two dots recorded on the printing paper to approach in vertical direction compared with FIG. 12(B) or to be partially overlapped. Similarly, by using the construction in which the grooves have the shape of being concentrated in two, the dot recording on horizontal direction can be made closer or overlapped.
As have been described so far, according to the embodiment, by forming grooves and heaters minutely in plural numbers and by connecting each heater simply in serial-parallel, a plural number of dot recordings are made by single dot information and print quality is improved without adding any control logical circuit. Further, half tone is represented by selectively driving some of the plural number of heaters.

UFC on FUEL TV 6: Cung Le Knocks Out Rich Franklin in Devastating Fashion
By FCF Staff
The UFC's first trip to China will likely be forever remembered for the highlight reel finish the main event produced, as the headliner saw Cung Le knockout former middleweight champion Rich Franklin in the opening round.
In the opening two minutes, it was Franklin who was the busier fighter, as Le looked to counterstrike with punches rather than kicks. After Franklin attempted to throw a left leg kick, Le stepped in and caught him with a beautifully timed right hook that floored the fighter face first instantly.
Afterwards, the 38 year-old Franklin said he would have to go home, review the tapes and discuss the loss with his coaches before he determines what next.
The win extended the 40 year-old Le's UFC record to 2-1.
Here are the results from today's UFC on FUEL card, which was hosted by the Cotai Arena at the Venetian Macau Resort Hotel.
Cung Le def. Rich Franklin by KO (punch) R1 2:17
Thiago Silva def. Stanislav Nedkov via submission (arm-triangle choke) R3, 1:45
Dong Hyun Kim def. Paulo Thiago via unanimous decision (30-26, 30-27, 30-27)
Takanori Gomi def. Mac Danzig via split decision (28-29, 29-28, 29-28)
Jon Tuck def. Tiequan Zhang via unanimous decision (29-28, 30-27, 29-28)
Takeya Mizugaki def. Jeff Hougland via unanimous decision (30-25, 30-27, 30-27)
Alex Caceres def. Motonobu Tezuka via split decision (28-29, 30-27, 30-27)

In an effort to put the emissions scandal behind it, Volkswagen has unveiled plans to introduce more than 30 electric vehicles by the year 2025.
The company's 'Together — Strategy 2025', published in mid-June, follows a period of soul searching for the German automotive giant following widespread condemnation of its emissions rigging last year. Now chief executive Matthias Mueller is keen to turn the marque's reputation around with the introduction of more than 30 new electric-powered vehicles by 2025.
If you're thinking of plugging into the burgeoning electric car market, be sure to check you have adequate levels of insurance to cover your new stock. As well as your general motor trade insurance and road risks insurance, you may also want to consider upgrading to a combined motor trade insurance policy, which protects the facilities as well as the contents of your site.
The company plans to sell between two and three million electric vehicles per year. In addition to the introduction of these greener vehicles, Volkswagen plans to focus its energies on digital mobility (including ride-sharing apps), a more open style of management and a stronger emphasis on profitability — increasing operating profits from six per cent to seven or eight per cent by 2025.
In a statement made to the world's press, Volkswagen announced: "The company estimates that such vehicles could then account for around a quarter of the global passenger car market. The Volkswagen Group forecasts that its own BEV [battery electric vehicle] sales will be between two and three million units in 2025, equivalent to some 20 to 25 per cent of the total unit sales expected at that time."
Acknowledging the difficulty Volkswagen has in winning back pubic confidence in the marque, Mr Mueller, at a news conference held at the company's Wolfsburg headquarters, added: "Our most valuable currency is trust."

Free and Open to the Public
MAHMOUD DOWLATABADI is one of Iran's most important writers. The author of numerous novels, plays, and screenplays, he is recognized as a leading proponent of social and artistic freedom in contemporary Iran. Dowlatabadi was among the first writers to insist that the everyday language of the Iranian people was suitable for high literary art, and has often examined the lives of outcasts and the oppressed in his work.
Born in 1940 in a remote farming region of Iran, Dowlatabadi worked as an agricultural day laborer until he made his way to Tehran, where he first worked in the theater before writing plays, stories, and novels. Dowlatabadi continues to live and work in Tehran, exploring Iran's rural and urban societies in his writing. While active in a variety of literary fields, he is perhaps best known for his novels Missing Soluch, The Legend of Baba Sobhan, and his monumental 5-volume novel, Kelidar. His works have also been brought to the big screen, including It's Winter, the award-winning 2005 film directed by Raffi Pitts. Missing Soluch has been translated to English and published in the United States by Melville House Publishing in 2006, and appeared on the NY Sun's top-ten list of best novels for that year.
This event will celebrate Dowlatabadi's pivotal work by screening a recent video-interview with him, and featuring a panel of scholars—including Kamran Rastegar, Hamid Dabashi, and Nahid Mozafarri—to discuss his oeuvre. The audience will also have the opportunity to hear Dowlatabadi's work read by Arta Khakpour, Neda Bolurchi, Kouross Esmaeli, among others.

Tripoli - Today MooMoo Gadafi ranted at Green Square. The Spoof's only African correspondent JO, who was sent because he can speak Indian English with an Australian accent, arrived in time to hear MooMoo and interview several hallucinogenic beings around him.
"I could've been a contender! I could've been someone! Instead of a bum, which is what I am, let's face it Charlie!" said MooMoo in the opening of today's speech to paid and threatened followers,
"I'm a yankee doodle dandee,a yankee doodle do or die! If you put a negative terminal on the positive terminal, you can blow up your car's battery in your face. Michael! I told you to put the horse head in Adrienne's bed!! What the hell is going on here with you people, go home and get some rest! Wait if you do I'll have to kill you and pay you, stay here and I'll just bore you to deaf with my twaddle."
"This is J.O of the Spoof, I'm whispering to you from underneath a very smelly carpet near Gadafi's temporary shoe shine stand near Green Square. I have on the very strictest of confidences found out that Gadafi may attempt to Mime for the crowd today. He has his white face and gloves on, but so far no Miming, just a little of Michael Jackson's moon walk as he rants. Let's listen some more."
"What the hell have the Hall's of Montezuma got to do with the Shores of Tripoli?!!!! I have Montezuma's revenge!! Watch now as and Ethyl and Roger and Hammerstein pass gas before you. I feel a song coming on!! Let me show you a little Mime, this will be me becoming a Martyr!" Gadafi stops talking and begins pretending to die very melodramatically on top of J.0.'s hiding place.
"This is J.O. signing off....fer now..."

King Cobra (巨大キングコブラ?, lit. Giant King Cobra) is a giant mutated snake Kyodai Kingu Koburakaiju created by TriStar Pictures that first appeared in the Godzilla: The Series episode Monster Wars: Part 2, however continuity-wise, H.E.A.T. first encounters it in Competition.
A mutated cobra that somehow found its home in Japan, King Cobra attacked and captured several civilians trekking in the Japanese wilderness with its glue-like venom. Its danger caused the Japanese self-defense force to close off the mountain to the public, but when H.E.A.T. came to investigate, along with Zilla Junior, who was wrongfully blamed for the carnage. As Zilla Junior fought the Robo-Yeti, King Cobra made its strike against the base camp. Zilla Junior and the Robo-Yeti came back in time, but the robotic ape was severely damaged and Zilla Junior blinded by its spit. With nothing to stop it, King Cobra moved on to new hunting grounds: Tokyo!
Spraying fleeing people with its glue, the creature didn't expect to be attacked by Robo-Yeti once again. This time, however, the reptile crushed its cybernetic foe with its powerful coils. The fight wasn't done yet, however. Zilla Junior, still blinded, burst from the ground, using nothing but his sense of hearing to fight.
The fight was one-sided at first, but when Nick managed to free Zilla Junior of the glue thanks to a chemical concoction designed by Elsie, the atomic titan let loose all his might on the serpent, blasting him with his fearsome atomic ray! Soon, the monster king and the giant serpent crashed into the bay. King Cobra, now unconscious and in Zilla Junior's jaws, was tossed to the side. It was thought to be dead, but they were wrong. The snake was summoned by the mighty Tachyon aliens to Site Omega and then instructed to head to Paris after being put under their control.
The French forces were completely powerless, as the titanic cobra engulfed Paris' best fighting forces in his glue-like venom! The snake, along with the Giant Bat, demolished much of the city before being freed of control thanks to H.E.A.T. Their natural instincts kicked in they turned on their masters. While the Giant Bat headed to Site Omega, King Cobra was quickly defeated by the Leviathan ships, but once again he escaped death and was taken back to the island that would now be used to contain Earth's monsters.
On Monster Island, the giant snake was imprisoned in his own habitat by force barriers. Living in peace for once, the creature was freed when S.C.A.L.E. arrived to free the mutations. Him, along with the other three monsters, C-Rex, Giant Bat, and Skeetera, entered a free-for-all brawl for the island. While Skeetera proved a challenge, C-Rex and King Cobra were once again imprisoned in their habitats by Monique.
Supposedly in the alternate future where the D.R.A.G.M.A.s had taken over the world, King Cobra was killed by them after Major Hicks released him from Monster Island along with all the other mutations to fight off the D.R.A.G.M.A.s. However, King Cobra was spared from this fate when H.E.A.T. and Zilla Junior managed to destroy all of the D.R.A.G.M.A.s in the past.
- King Cobra can spit venomous globs that act like quick drying glue
- King Cobra is capable of burrowing.
- Constricting his body to exert extreme pressure on foes
- King Cobra jaw strength is enough for his enemies cause some damage.
- As a giant snake, King Cobra can be seen as a sort of counterpart to the Toho monster Manda.
- King Cobra greatly resembles Buraki the evil Imugi from the Korean fantasy film D-War.

Every now and then I recommend a book not because I enjoyed it or agreed with it, but simply because it disturbed me so much that I have to tell somebody. Normally this happens when I read a book that I had great expectations for but turned out to be poorly written, and/or badly conceived. Then there are other times when I just completely disagree with the entire premise of a book. These are the times when I think to myself, "this book is so well written but soo WRONG!" I felt this way recently, when I read the first chapter and premise of Dr. Anthony Bradley's new book Liberating Black Theology: The Bible and The Black Experience.
As one might surmise from the title, Dr. Bradley
(PhD Westminster Theological Seminary) is offering the newest critique of black theology. In the text Bradley calls the theological perspectives of Professor James Cone, Professor Cornel West, and Rev. Jeremiah Wright to task for promoting victimology, Marxism, and aberrant Christian doctrine. Not unlike critics before him, Bradley argues that black theology is dangerous because it abandons "biblical orthodox Christianity."
In the near future, I plan to write a full review of this book for the Atlanta Liberal Christian Examiner, so I'll spare you an in-depth analysis and just say in response to Dr. Bradley and his book, "WHATEVER SIR!"
I am rarely dismissive of any ideological viewpoint, but sometimes I'm left with no other choice but to go brain dead in disbelief. I mean, really. How many more times can scholars who categorize themselves as orthodox "bible believing" Christians write off the black theological enterprise and other progressive theological perspectives because it doesn't measure up to their assessment of what "the bible says" and what they think Christianity encompasses.
And let me be clear, Bradley's rejection and critique of black theology is not the issue. I am not a proponent of black theology per se and I am not bothered that Bradley isn't either. My problem is Bradley, like Thabiti Anyabwile, refuses to acknowledge the extent to which Christianity is so culturally entangled and orientated that speaking of a pure heritage of Orthodoxy or biblical faith is nearly impossible. Moreover, certain scholars in classical and contemporary times have noted that actually there are "Christianties" not one pure brand of "Christianity."
This is a fundamental point that is often missed in conservative theological critiques of progressive (liberal) Christian religion. And this is the fundamental flaw of Dr. Bradley's argument against black theology. You can't dismiss an expression of Christianity for being culturally derived and antithetical to the true practice of Christianity and not acknowledge that the true practice of Christianity (as you define it) is culturally derived as well. Maybe I'm wrong, but I don't think so. The Editorial Reviews of the book are below, if you read it, tell me what you think.
Compassionately and Critically yours, Billy Michael Honor
Editorial Reviews
"Anthony Bradley's analysis of black liberation theology is by far the best thing that I have read on the subject. Anthony's book is comprehensive and in-depth. He covers all of the bases, and thereby provides the reader with all of the information that he needs to understand the critical issues involved with black liberation theology. By covering such figures as James Cone, Cornell West, and Jeremiah Wright, we see all of the nuances involved with their approaches to the subject. His explanation of victimology, Marxism, and aberrant Christian doctrine make a noxious mix of ideas that would make any true Christian wary of anything even approaching black liberation theology. His keen insight into these ideas and his clarity of writing make this book a jewel. Anthony has done the Christian community a great service by writing this book. There was a significant need for a work of this type and its arrival is long overdue."
-Craig Vincent Mitchell, Assistant Professor of Christian Ethics, Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary
"I have read a number of books which purport to explain, define, or critique black liberation theology, but Liberating Black Theology is the easiest to understand. This is because Dr. Bradley unapologetically maintains a biblical, orthodox perspective while being sympathetic to the issues and concerns of black liberation theologians. The book should be required reading for any seminary class on biblical interpretation and for seminary students and pastors interested in understanding the history and struggles of the black church in America."
-Wy Plummer, African American Ministries Coordinator, Mission to North America, Presbyterian Church in America

Two sisters, two urban gardens, and a question: How much of our families' food can we produce ourselves? Moving toward sustainability on urban farms
Yeah I think you'd be ok with only ripping out the front band. The neck band looks fine.
I agree--just the front band would do the trick.
The ability to undo is a godsend. You may have just nailed down why the only art/craft I do is knitting...
I absolutely love the colours! :-)
I hate to say it... but I'd rip that band right outta there. The colors are nice, but the contrast is too stark.

Brushing teeth is a couple of boring minutes that kids would rather spend doing pretty much anything else. So, how do you get kids to look after themselves properly? Like anything else when it comes to getting kids to do things they don't want to do — turn it into a game! MommyTech TV's Andrea Smith talked to Marcia Simon of Kolibree to find out how they're making brushing fun for all ages.
Kolibree is a connected toothbrush that works with an app and a game. The electric toothbrush connects to an app available for iOS and Android that helps parents keep track of their children's brushing habits and lets them send reminders through email to make sure kids don't forget (or "forget") to brush their teeth. For the kids, there's a game within the app called Go Pirate controlled by the toothbrush itself — the more they brush, the better they do in the game.
No need to worry too much about over-brushing, though. While you'll want to make sure your kids don't get too into the game, Kolibree is easy on teeth and gums. It's a sonic toothbrush that uses vibrations and pulses to clean, so it won't contribute to erosion of enamel and the gums if your kids tend to brush too hard with ordinary toothbrushes. And, for kids with braces, Kolibree is also selling an orthodontic brush head to make sure those areas around the brackets stay clean.
If pirates don't do it for your kids, four new games will be added to the Kolibree app this year, including one with the Rabbids from Ubisoft's Rayman series. For older kids, a zombie game will also be released — better those undead start rotting than your kids' teeth!

As the media are part of the lives of many people (BURKE 1999), they can give a basis for public discussion and the reconsidering of norms. Case studies show that the media can have an immense educating impact on the public opinion and behaviour (BURKE 1999). Also, the media can influence the decision makers indirectly, when the public gets aware of a topic and applies pressure (WATERAID 2007). The media play also an important role in advocacy work.
Summarised the media are useful for the following reasons (WATERAID 2007):
As the central aim is to spread information and raise awareness of SSWM and so change people's attitudes, your target group are people in rural and urban areas who have no or few information about the topic. Radio reaches a very wide audience.
The main actors of a radio campaign can come from the local level: You can just call the local radio station and ask if they are interested in your topic. The station might help you, as well as local NGOs, to get a recorder and make up an interesting broadcast.
It is also possible to reach nationwide radio stations: you can try to involve local decision makers to support the application and then ask directly at the stations if they want to broadcast your campaign. Search for media lists of NGOs to get the contacts.
Radio Campaigns are an efficient tool to influence the public opinion because radio reaches a wider audience than any other medium, and is accessible to people who are otherwise isolated by geography, conflict, illiteracy or poverty (WATERAID & WSSCC 2003). The involvement of the public will increase the decision makers' attention to the water and sanitation topic and it will also influence social norms directly. According to this, radio campaigns can have a direct effect on the public attitude and behaviour (WATERAID 2007).
Radio also has the power to motivate people by building on oral traditions like songs, which help to get to the peoples heart (WATERAID & WSSCC 2003). In addition, radio listening can be a group activity, which encourages the discussion of educational issues after the broadcast (BURKE 1999).
Community radio stations can play a significant role in increasing participation and opinion sharing, improving and diversifying knowledge and skills and in catering to health and cultural needs (WATERAID 2007). To learn more about other media campaigns, see also internet and email, video, or posters and flyers.
The following six steps are the main ones for developing a media campaign. The questions posed will guide you through your planning (adapted from FOCUS 2006):
Step 1: Define Your Audience: Whom do you want to reach with your message? Can you reach this audience within available resources? Do you know enough about your audience to select effective messages and channels of communication?
Step 2: Set Clear Objectives: What is your overall goal? Do your plans fit with other activities and plans in the community? Have you identified your objectives?
Step 3: Define Channels and Vehicles for Communication: Which channel is the best to use for your targets?
Step 4: Identify Effective Messages: Have you chosen a message for your audience that has the right message content (or theme)? Does the message have the right tone (light or heavy) and the right appeal (rational or emotional)? Would using humour or fear be appropriate and effective?
Any message you choose should pass the ''What? So What? Now What?' Test:
Step 5: Implement Your Campaign: What work needs to be done? Have you made a timeline? When and how long will you run your campaign, and with what intensity? When will you contact the media channels you have selected, obtain the messages you selected in the format required? Have you set out a work plan that defines required tasks, the people responsible and the timing?
Step 6: Evaluate Your Campaign: Does your campaign track coverage (process indicators)? Does it generate additional media coverage? Can you see changes in knowledge or attitudes (outcome indicators)? Are there any letters or phone calls with questions on the topic?
There are lots of ways to create a radio campaign: Short on-off programmes can be broadcast to highlight or explain particular issues, whereas series of programmes give a longer period for the introduction of a set of ideas (BURKE 1999). Below you can find seven different ideas how to make an appealing radio campaign for your issue.
1) Participation, Local and Community Radio (BURKE 1999): Individual radio programmes can be made with the direct involvement of poorer people, through interviews, phone-in programmes, letters, or recordings of outside events. Involving members of the audience in broadcasting itself, building up local content, and enhancing the relevance of programmes is not just good developmental practice — it can make for better radio as well. Most people are able to speak on radio eloquently after only minimal instruction, so community radio provides a means to voice local concerns, as well as a way to reach people with messages.
2) Soap Operas and Serial Dramas (BURKE 1999): Good serial dramas and soap operas can make a considerable impact. Soul City's multimedia serial dramas in South Africa have been positively evaluated; a real difference in people's attitudes and behaviour on the health issues being covered through the serial was identified. Similar results come out of the BBC Afghan programme. One of the key components in each case is high quality staff, with media experience and close working relationships with development specialists. The main benefit of soap operas is, that they allow the repetition of educational messages (SCHAAP et al. 2002).
3) Radio Spots with Traditional Songs: Radio has the power to motivate people by building on oral traditions (WATERAID & WSSCC 2003). To carry a message a radio-spot can for example rely on traditional songs as well as a composition of sanitation messages, like in the UNICEF's Saniya Project in Burkina Faso (SCHAAP & VAN STEENBERGEN 2001).
4) Infomercial (SCHAAP & VAN STEENBERGEN 2001): Infomercial are two-minute animations that dramatise an issue (e.g. germs) and show the audience a solution sequence.
5) Break-Bumpers (SCHAAP & VAN STEENBERGEN 2001): Break bumpers are five-second messages that promote core-behavioural changes, for example, "Did you wash your hands today?"
6) Interviews (WHO 2008): Hosts and hostesses of talk shows are almost always looking for people to interview on radio. Just call up your local radio station and suggest someone for an interview.
Some information about interviews is listed below (WATERAID & WSSCC 2003):
7) Sound Bites (WHO 2008): When you have only a few seconds in front of a microphone, you need to use memorable phrases — sound bites — that will stay with your audience long after you have left. The sound bites should capture and communicate the one key message you want to leave with the audience, if they remember nothing else.
Some sound bite examples (WHO 2008):
The benefit of radio campaigns is their wide applicability. They are applicable in urban and rural areas. For urban areas sometimes television reaches more people than radio, but especially in rural areas radio might be the only way to reach the audience.
Radio is applicable in water scarce and water rich areas and can be important on all levels, as the only thing needed is a radio receiver and for the one broadcasting it a recorder:
With local, smaller radio stations the local public (households) can be reached and their opinion and behaviour in water and sanitation topics can be influenced.
At a higher level, more popular radio stations or even national stations can reach a great part of the public and push the communication of the general problem.
Religious backgrounds of the specific area need to be considered before planning the radio campaign. Its contents should definitely not break with any definitely rites.

Undercover Design: Alumnus Contributes to Classified Project for Chevrolet
While working as an intern for Tiger Studio during his junior year, Churu Yun ('11, Industrial Design) found himself in an interesting position. Having proven his skill in approaching user interfaces from an industrial design perspective, Yun was picked to work on an important new project for the studio. The catch? A big red "CLASSIFIED" stamped on his internship file.
As it turned out, Tiger Studio had been tasked with helping one of its clients, Johnson Controls, design the instrument cluster for the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, and the project was shrouded in secrecy.
"It was kind of crazy," Yun said of working on such a high-profile project. "It was a top-secret project and I wasn't able to tell anyone about it, so if I seemed really tired in class, I didn't really have an excuse for it. It was challenging, but it was so exciting to work on it."
The project continued through his junior year and well into the summer following graduation, and Yun was not able to talk about it until after the car was released in early 2013. Today, Yun can finally reflect on the experience as one that inspired him to finish his undergraduate degree and launch his professional career.
Always on the lookout for new design challenges, Yun sinks his teeth into a project
These days, with the Corvette instrument cluster in his rearview, Yun is out in Seattle working with Frog Design, an internationally recognized product strategy and design firm. His current work, which ranges from retail design to automotive design projects, has expanded his career into the arena of user experience (UX) and user interface (UI) design. Still, the veil of secrecy remains.
"The nature of what I do is such that I can't talk about it until three or four years after I work on it," Yun explained.
At KCAD, Yun was exposed to a multitude of experiences, ideas, and products that fed his passion for UI and UX-based design. His education also helped prepare him for the realities of working at a design firm.
"The design process and methodology I learned at KCAD prepared me for the rigor that we have when we design products for clients," he said. "KCAD was able to offer me insight into the kind of thinking and process you need to have to find solutions based on the market and user needs."
Design thinking, anyone? Like any good designer, Yun knows how to rapidly prototype and test solutions as challenges arise
Yun has long been interested in combining artistic design and product development. Growing up, he favored watching cartoons with robots over Tom and Jerry chasing each other around the screen. Before attending KCAD, he worked at an animatronics company that built humanoid robots for interactive exhibits and trade shows.
"I was exposed to building things from [people's] imagination that were applicable in the real world. That exposed me to the field of industrial design," he said. "When I saw examples of what it was, I instantly knew that was what I wanted to do."
According to Yun, industrial design students should embrace opportunities to diversify their work and immerse themselves in new challenges.
"When the right opportunity comes, don't be afraid to take it," he said. "Treat every opportunity like it is a life changing moment. Don't half-ass it. Put everything you have into it and do it right."
Yun will be making the voyage back to KCAD on Tuesday, April 1 to participate in the Industrial Design program's Career Day. He'll be speaking about utilizing user experience to drive design, sharing more valuable post-graduation career advice, and participating in a portfolio critique.
For more information regarding this event, please contact Industrial Design professor Jonathan Moroney at [email protected].

Concealable stigmas are personal characteristics that are socially devalued but often not readily apparent to others, such as mental illness, transgender identity, sexually transmitted infections, and the experience of intimate partner violence. People with stigmatized attributes face prejudice and discrimination, which, in turn, has been linked with reduced social, emotional, and physical well-being. To avoid such negative experiences, people with concealable stigmas often have the option of hiding their stigmatized status. The Social Identity Lab, directed by Dr. Jonathan Mohr, has examined questions about the ongoing decisions people make about concealing and revealing a stigmatized identity—with a focus on lesbian, gay, and bisexual (LGB) populations.
Dr. Mohr's research has indicated that LGB people who have recently concealed their sexual orientation from others are more likely than others to be depressed and less likely to be satisfied with life—even after taking into consideration the extent to which they have disclosed their identity to people in their everyday lives. The negative impact of actively concealing one's sexual orientation was also observed in a study of LGB workers, who were asked to record information about all workplace experiences involving revealing and concealing decisions as they occurred over a three-week period. Workers experienced sharp increases in negative mood immediately after concealing their sexual orientation, and this spike in negative mood persisted into the next workday.
Studies suggest that bisexual people may differ from their lesbian and gay peers in decisions related to managing sexual orientation stigma. These differences likely are rooted in unique forms of bias bisexual people face that are rooted in inaccurate beliefs about bisexuality. Dr. Mohr's research has indicated that both heterosexuals and lesbian/gay people who hold these inaccurate beliefs are less willing than others to consider having a close relationship with a bisexual person. Moreover, experimental research has shown that such beliefs can even influence psychotherapists' understanding of their bisexual clients' problems. It is perhaps no surprise, then, that bisexual people have been found to be more likely than others to present their sexual orientation in complex ways—sometimes as bisexual, sometimes as heterosexual, and sometimes as lesbian/gay. Exactly how bisexual people present their sexual orientation to others is related to a number of factors, including the gender of their romantic partners, their general openness about being a sexual minority person, and their degree of certainty about their own sexual orientation.

Andy Warhol said that in the media age each of us would have 15 minutes of fame. We would like to avoid infamy in our 15 minutes. Sexually addictive behaviors are secretive. When we imagine acting out in full view of the public including our friends, partners, family, coworkers, employers, and so forth, the urge to act out is quelled by healthy, normal, and corrective shame. This is the good shame, not the toxic shame. The good shame comes from realizing you are a messing up. The toxic shame comes from abusive experiences and victimization.
Imagine that you are at the brink of a slip. Your addict is whispering insistently in your ear that, "This will be alright" or "No one will know" or whatever the addict in you has to say. Get the setting and the circumstances in mind, whether that is logging onto a porn site, soliciting a prostitute, calling someone to arrange a sexual encounter, or whatever. Really see and know the scene as your ritual preparation to acting out is developing.
Now imagine that a television news crew is there with you. There is the reporter, the camera person, the sound person, and the producer. The camera is rolling and you know they are looking for a sound bite from you - a sound bite to be aired on the evening news along with the background material the reporter can dig up on you in the meantime.
Imagine that the news services pick the story up and it appears in print and electronic media all over the world.
Imagine the headlines and lead lines.
"Sex Addict Slips" - Says his addict said it was okay.
"Relapse 1 - Addict 0" - Rematch in the works.
"Today in Anytown USA, a sex addict acted out - Film at 11:00.
Now take a moment and think about how you would really like to spend your 15 minutes of fame. What is the next right thing to do that takes you in that direction?

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. – Police in Fort Lauderdale have released the identity of a pedestrian who was struck and killed a car driven by Frank Isaac Pais Munoz Friday night.

Ideas Can Be Scary Sometimes
Contribution by Kate Hammer, Chief Storyteller at KILNCO
"That's crazy." "I need some air." "I need a stiff drink." "NO! Just no!" Funny what can erupt from people when they're caught off guard by a good idea. Novelty can be startling, alarming, even downright scary.
Some bright boffins at University of PA have actually found that the words people most closely associate with novel ideas are: "vomit", "poison" and "agony".*
Let's imagine why this might be….
Back in the mists of time, when we humans were hunting and gathering, living simply and tied closely to the earth….the unfamiliar might well be deadly. A plant might be poisonous, an unknown animal a predator, an unforeseen event a trap. Some primordial bit of us is wired to see novelty and think: Danger!
But backs in the mists of time, we had a whole range of habits that underpinned a fraught and restricted way of life.
Fast-forward to the 21st century, and it's clear we're no longer held hostage to natural forces to anything like the same degree. But while (at the best of times) natural forces are less forceful, our responses are slower to evolve. We need to coax them into the present.
Here and now, today, we can give ourselves permission: to feel the fear novelty triggers, but refuse to let the real fear we feel to freeze us.
Our "UGH" to new thinking is like a gag reflex. The reflex prevents us from swallowing something that might harm us. We choke out the new idea instead of taking it in.
Now what if it's our primordial gag reflex that's actually scaring us, not the idea?
It would follow: when we conquer the impulse to gag, we open ourselves to radical novelty. We become free to eat the fruits of breakthrough thinking.
So, how about the next time a radical, great idea taps you on the shoulder and says, "Boo!" by all means: jump – just don't run for cover.
There's no need to flee. You've got a modern mind you can bring to stand alongside your inner Neanderthal. Grin and greet the hairy ape that's your ancestor-living-inside-you. And ask the ape to be quiet, assured that you're hear and you'll keep everyone safe.
Your modern mind is brave, your modern mind is free. "Hello, Idea," says that modern mind. "I'm surprised to see you. You're very welcome here. What possibilities have you brought with you today?"
And lo, an unforeseen future begins.

Bill McNary, Maple Leaf Pharmacy owner, being interviewed by KING-5 in February 2010 after his pharmacy was robbed the previous December.
The Maple Leaf Pharmacy, a central fixture in the neighborhood, is closed after 27 years.
Owner Bill McNary has sold the business to Walgreens Pharmacy, and will work part time at the nearby Walgreens at Roosevelt Way Northeast and Northeast Northgate Way.
"The whole thing is kind of bittersweet," McNary said Thursday morning. The pharmacy closed for good Wednesday evening.
"I'll miss my customers, although I hope most will come along with me to Walgreens. And I'm so thankful to all the people in the neighborhood who supported me."
McNary said his database of prescriptions is being transferred to the Walgreens, and that customers should receive seamless service there.
The pharmacy moved to its current location, at 8830 Roosevelt Way N.E., in 1996.
Geraldine Crews, pharmacy head technician who has worked with McNary for over a quarter-century, has taken a similar job with Group Health in Factoria.
McNary, who recently turned 60, said there were several factors in his deciding to sell.
"One reason is to slow down," he said. "I'm tired of working 60 hours a week.
"Then, there's been an increase in regulations – an added burden to trying to take care of our customers."
Decreasing margins in the pharmacy business cut into his ability to add staff, he said. In addition, as a compounding pharmacy, part of his business is being able to provide unique drugs to his patients, but coming new regulations there, too, will hurt.
"It will have a severe impact on our compounding business. So, economically it made made sense to sell at this time and start working just four days a week."
From an earlier story in Maple Leaf Life:
The Maple Leaf Pharmacy also has a bit of history under its roof.
The landlord at the time bought the building in 1950, and was shot at during the many robberies that occurred.
"When we remodeled, there were bullet holes in the cabinets where shots had been fired," Crews said. "Back then, pharmacy owners used to sleep in their stores at night because of robberies. It was much worse back then."
In Crews' time at the pharmacy, she has experienced seven robberies.
Other earlier stories about the pharmacy:
'It's a robbery! He has a gun!'

Interested in grad school but not sure where to start? Here are a few tips!
Is the world getting better or are things staying the same? As thoughtful people who wrestle regularly with this question, we know that our professional and personal choices influence the answer.
If you want to work for peace and justice, you need a pool of resources from which to draw. You need experience; you need a network; most importantly, you need to master the underlying principles of this interconnected world if you want to have a meaningful impact.
A graduate degree in international affairs brings together these different pieces to provide a springboard to the future. It can allow you to use your training to launch a successful, change-making career in the public, private, or non-profit sector. The possibilities are limitless. College students have so many opportunities to choose from when it comes to life after undergrad; different paths exist for different needs and interests. While there is obviously no one right path for every student, a graduate degree could be a solid option.
But where would your search for a graduate degree start? What programs provide the knowledge to combat the problems of our time?
Here are three tips to get you started.
1. Plan for What's Next
By definition, choosing a professional degree program should be about what comes after you graduate: your profession.
Selecting a graduate program should involve a discernment process. Look for job descriptions for which you aren't qualified (yet) to find out what kind of degree and skills they require. Think about whether you prefer a flexible or highly structured program. Consider non-academic factors, such as internship opportunities and the cost of living in an urban, suburban, or rural setting. Understand your financial situation and the amount of (good) debt you can take on.
2. Go Beyond Websites
Online information serves a useful purpose as you begin your search; it provides an overview of basic questions. However, there's no substitute for conversations with faculty, mentors, and other contacts that focus on your personal needs.
Direct conversations with admissions representatives in particular will not only help you determine whether you and a program are the right fit, but can also help you figure out how to address gaps in your experience and offer advice on financial aid.
3. Tell YOUR Story
It's easy to worry about who else might be applying, what their GPA was, and how well they did on the GREs.
However, YOU have a distinct story to tell a story that sets you apart from other candidates. Describe in your essays what drives you to pursue this particular program at this particular time. Explain what life experiences you bring into the classroom that will help others better understand the topics at hand. Show how being a ONE campus organizer shaped your thinking about the world. Use honest and direct language to demonstrate your ability to think clearly and critically.
Admissions committees want to know as much relevant information as possible about you to make the best decision for the institution and for you.
Graduate school can be a tremendously rewarding experience. Finding the right program which meets your professional needs will help you change the world.
Want to learn more? Join SIPA and the Association of Professional Schools of International Affairs (APSIA) during our Graduate School Recruitment Fairs across the globe this fall. See our recruitment schedule here.

Salt Lake City Tattoo Convention: On the Road in Utah
Later that day I met Jo Jo Ackerman. He was really cool and he also pointed out that I am in fact wearing, "a metal t-shirt." Earlier that day someone said, "You must be Metal Allison?" Both of these comments were in response to a Facebook post by TAM's Social Media Director, John. He will be here all week folks! Tip your bartender! Oh and for the record, I am "more metal than the Death Star!" Another great day and I'm off to more cable television and that awesome bed. Girl likes to party! Funny thing is I usually do and I'm really good at it! I just decided to take it easy lately. Everyone deserves a break. On Sunday I wanted to check out the art gallery as well as all merch everyone has. The day started out busy and stayed busy. I was able to step away for just a minute and take a quick walk around. I made it over to the gallery, which was full of amazing paintings. There were two Tim Lehi paintings that I wish I could have taken home with me, among other things. Before I ran back to the TAM booth I made it over to meet Wendy Belzel. She was so cool and so nice! Completely lived up to what everyone says about her. I also wanted to buy pretty much her entire booth! The day is finally done and it is time to pack it all up. Again this was one of the easiest break downs I have had a convention. The staffs at the convention and hotel were extremely accommodating –big thank-yous again to CJ and everyone who put on the convention. I did somehow manage to lose my phone charger while packing up. Anybody seen it? Ha-ha. Thanks Salt Lake City for an awesome weekend.
