When I saved out that my early very good elegant daughter necessary pinch intelligence surgery I was revolted and destroyed. She was just two months old. The representative diagnosis was craniosynostosis which designed the five castanets in her head were amalgamated mutually departure no freedom for her wits to bud.
It was desperate that the surgery was done previously she was 3 months old or the constant worry on her neural structure could origination existence long-run harmed.

NOW.
In researching the mess up they revealed that a native infants os cap is ready-made up of cardinal finger cymbals control together by hempen body part called sutures. They are not sealed but stretch out allowing opportunity for the brain to develop larger and come together normally. This is why an child has a "soft spot" on top of the baby's boss. Her parents disclosed that this is a relatively new identification and that one in two cardinal babies are calved near many develop of craniosynostosis. Many fixed go unknown until it is too late, if of all time.Post ads:

Her parent's pilot antipathy was shock, lack of feeling and doubt.

Student Leaders Accreditation
The Year 9 student leaders have been working towards an accreditation which acknowledges all the experiences, opportunities and work leaders have done over the past year. The student leader accreditation is awarded by a company called SSAT, who specialise in helping students to set high expectations of themselves and strive towards their aspirations.
The students are required to complete a portfolio of evidence, demonstrating different skills and qualities they have acquired and developed whilst being a student leader. They rate their acquired skills according to whether they achieved a bronze, silver or gold standard.
Many of the student leaders are working towards a sliver award, which is a great achievement as this is usually aimed at KS4 students. A couple of students are working towards a gold award, which is usually aimed at KS5 students, and therefore really demonstrates the commitment, aspiration and enthusiasm of Year 9 students in achieving their potential and developing as mature, thoughtful and aspirational young people.

Christian Bale Won't Be in True Detective Season 2, Reps Say
It appears that you can cross another name off the list of potential stars for the second season of True Detective: two representatives for Christian Bale tell Defamer that the Batman star won't be appearing in the next edition of the hit HBO show.
Why even inquire about Bale in the first place? Well, yesterday a Gawker commenter said that he knew a source who stated that HBO was in advance talks with the actor about season two:
In a further email with the commenter, he reiterated that his source—who he described as working for an agency involved in the talks—believed Bale was close to being cast.
Right now the offer has gone out but there are no additional details to report other than Bale is the only one with an offer.
There is smoke elsewhere on the internet regarding Bale and True Detective, which isn't exactly a surprise given the nature of the series and the actor. Back in March, someone on the True Detective subreddit posted the following:
Have heard from someone who works on the production that HBO has been talking to Christian Bale.
This, of course, is about as flimsy as a rumor can get, but Bale's name has started to trickle up to the mainstream entertainment press. Yesterday, Deadline posted an article about the "intensification" of True Detective season two casting rumors, which contains a passage about Bale's name coming up in the "rumor mill."
the rumor mill in the past few weeks focused on Bale, Phoenix and Brolin as well as The Normal Heart star Taylor Kitsch for the other male lead and Chastain.
That story was then picked up by The Daily Beast, who threw Bale's name up at the top of its story.
But I talked to two of Bale's representatives yesterday, and both insisted that he will not be on the show. That said, the conversation became much murkier when I asked whether Bale or his representatives had any discussions with HBO.
"I know that it's not true," Bale's publicist Jennifer Allen told me over the phone. When I pressed further she told me that "the end result is he's not doing it." When I asked what she meant by "the end result"—of talks with HBO?—she backpedaled and said "the rumor that he's doing it is not true."
She then referred me to Bale's agent Patrick Whitesell, who in an email wrote "Not true. He isn't interested." I twice asked Whitesell to clarify if "not true" referred to Bale being offered the gig or merely that he had discussed the role with HBO, but Whitesell refused to respond.
Maybe Bale or his reps talked to HBO, or maybe they didn't—my sense given their elusiveness on the specific question of negotiation is that there is fire there—but either way, his people are adamant that we'll be watching three other stars whenever True Detective comes back on air.
If you know anything about Bale and HBO, or anything else about the casting for the next season of True Detective, leave a comment below or email me at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Arista (アリスタ Arisuta?) is an Arian-originated crystal composed of compressed Plavsky Particles appearing in the Gundam Build Fighters series.
Arista was first introduced when Reiji gave one of the two gems he had to Sei, claiming that if Sei were to make a wish on the stone, Reiji would come to grant his wish. This is proven true as Sei was about to lose a duel with Susumu Sazaki's Gyan; when Sei wished to avoid losing, Reiji was brought into the Iori Hobby Shop's battle room and take over control of the Build Strike. At the same time, Sei notices that the gem in his pocket was glowing. In light of these events, Sei kept the gem on his GP-Base, whereas Reiji had the other in his bracelet.
The crystal was brought up again when Reiji confronted Chairman Mashita, who in his mind had seen Reiji with a gem.
Later on, as an attempt to mend the rift between Reiji and Aila Jyrkiäinen, Sei made the gem into a pendant and had China Kousaka gift it to Aila before their battle. During the battle, the conflicting mind of Aila against the mind-altering effect of the Embody System somehow caused her Arista to trigger the same wish effect Sei had previously caused. As a result of the trigger, the level of Plavsky Particles in the arena increased dramatically, with the particles, including all known Aristas, glowing into an orange light, causing a resonance. It was at the time that Reiji and Aila developed a mental link that allowed her to fight off against the effect of the Embody System.
The source of the Plavsky Particles is revealed to be a large raw Arista, stored underneath the Gunpla Battle stage. After going rampant and being destroyed by Sei and Reiji, the remainder of the Plavsky Particles and the smaller Aristas begin to disperse and dissolve. As a result, those who possessed or were in contact with Aristas were teleported to Arian. Some time after the event, Nils and Caroline were able to find a way to artificially synthesize Aristas and Plavsky Particles and renewed the ability to commence Gunpla Battles.
Eight years after Reiji's disappearance, Nils Yajima and researchers at Yajima Trading began experimenting with a refined, artificial Plavsky crystal for a new control system for Gunpla Battles with the BN-876 Scramble Gundam. Unfortunately, an unknown factor began to unknowingly wreck havoc on the system and cause it to go out of control.
When they are inert, the Aristas appear as a simple azure colored gem, but even slight emotion, such as agitation, can excite the Plavsky Particles within. When the emotions of any one of the users reach a significant level, such as strong wishes or desires, all the Aristas would resonate to one another; in doing so, they shine brightly in a golden hue, and can connect the mental thoughts of at least two people. A possible side effect of this phenomena, as observed by Nil Nielsen, is that it multiplies or generates nearby Plavsky Particles, such as the ones in the World Tournament Battle Stage. It is unknown if the particle generation is due to the close proximity of the polish crystals, intense emotions, or resonance with the hidden giant crystal hidden underneath the stage. When the emotions of holders are further intensified, it may even cause the Gunpla Battle System to malfunction and generate a battle stage outside of the system. This happened during the end of the 7th GBWF, where an excited Arista brought forth the entire fortress A Baoa Qu into the arena and destroyed the arena ceiling. Lastly, it may enable one's will to bend existing physic laws, such as transporting Aila to Arian without the need of a teleporting Arian.
For the Arians, the crystal have one additional property, in that in anchors Arians to Earth during their stay. As soon as their piece of Arista disperse, they are forced to return to Arian.
Current Owners
- Reiji - One of the two he carried when he arrived from Arian.
- Aila Jyrkiäinen - The second one carried by Reiji; first given to Sei Iori, who placed it in his GP Base before giving it to Aila as a necklace. Aila made a wish with this Arista, travelling to Arian with Reiji. A few years later, Reiji used this Arista to return to Japan and visit Sei.
- Aila and Reiji's Daughter - Has an Arista in the flower ornament on her hair.
- Chairman Mashita - A small piece of polished Arista is kept in his pocket watch. He also kept a giant, raw Arista underneath the World Championship Stadium as a source of all Plavsky Particles, and uses numerous underground routes and transports to hide its existence.

Adventures on the Allotment – A Spicy Parsnip Soup
The mutant parsnips I dug at the allotment ground yesterday transformed well into a tasty sweet parsnip soup and uplifted with chilli sprinkles.
I'll be planting parsnip seeds in late February, this time I might sieve the soil, although I rather like the Dr Who Ood features of this one. Over on my Allotment Facebook page I created a short video about it.
Recipe – chopped onion, chopped garlic, a large cube of chopped fresh ginger and a big spoon of garam masala all fried together in coconut oil for about 10 minutes.
To this softened mixture add, 5 peeled and roughly chopped parsnips, a tin of coconut milk, 1.5 litres of vegetable stock and salt & pepper. Cover and simmer for about 20 minutes until the parsnips are soft.
To serve, season and sprinkle dried chilli flakes over or fresh chilli, eat with crusty bread.

Tried the Cookie Monster flavour - loved the interesting colours and theme to this ice cream! Gave my tongue a happy tinge of blue.
Wide range of flavours! Love their waffles. YUMS. The ice cream was affordable and highly recommend their rum and raisin!
IA serious, serious steal my friends. I know they've been around for awhile now but for some reason my lag time's insane 😅 Had a scoop of their Strawberry Creme and the flavour was pretty decent! I liked that it tasted like real strawberries, with a touch of creaminess to round off its natural acidity. A pity that the flavour hits you real strong at the start and doesn't really linger as it melts, and I also found the texture waaaay too hard and crumbly. My ice cream literally fell off the spoon multiple times cause it was so dry :,)
💵: $10.80
📈: 8/10
🤔: Lots of innovative icecream flavours to choose from, and we got the pistachio and oreo yakult and both were great! Waffle was also crispy on the outside, and soft on the inside, mega yumz!
Waffles with double scoop ice cream (~$10 +$0.80 for premium flavour) 🍦 Waffles had volume and were soft but pretty typical, lacking the buttermilk taste I really like 😭
Yakult Oreo ice cream was a good mix of slight sour and sweet, though I felt the Oreo overpowered the yoghurty yakult taste 🥛 Cookie chunks were big so 😍😍
Oolong lavender ice cream was more lavender than oolong, with the oolong taste only evident slightly at the beginning 😶 This wasn't too sweet and slightly on the icier side! 😚
Ig @goodfomood
The best pistachio ice cream I've tasted! The roasted taste was so fragrant, and it was just the right amount of creaminess (some places make it too creamy that you can't taste the nutty flavour). Also love that the portion given was generous for $4!

Jadore ce portrait, très belles couleurs et bonne mise au point.
Le cadrage est impeccable
Merci pour le partage

WHy not stray from B/W every once in a while, especially if you're going to serve up SUPERB portraits like this one. The intelligence in the eyes is striking, as is the subtle use of DOF and lighting. I would call this an archetypal portrait, a proud Burmese moment. Wonderful work! Francis
ps. I'm in B/W today as it happens, ironic, huh?
arnabchat (7233) 2005-08-05 4:05
superb! color tone at its best for a portrait. DOF perfect and expression captured nicely. the details of the betel juice in his lips are really nice.
a rare color post from you, but simply outstanding!
jinju (14265) 2005-08-05 4:16
Very sharp and very revealing photo. All his lines, wrinkles, etc are coming through, and those eyes strike us with great intensity. This a great photo to go color with, I think it would lose the power if it was in b/w.
nygus (8178) 2005-08-05 4:45
I thought I already saw this on and I even think I had same comment in mind : Steve Mc Curry ( thats the way u spell his name ? )
Just little bit of sharpening would do, his face is kind of soft
gringofil (0) 2005-08-05 6:58
I could very well venture and say that this has got to be one of your best portraits in both color and black & white. If you ever saw any of McCurry's portraits (and I'm sure you did), they have the same quality about them. I really like how his eyes seem to shine and sparkle and really put forward his character. The easy smile (I would call it lazy) is a great addition as well. Anyway, excellent image, Sohrab, one of your best and the color you got out of the Kodak film is just stunning. But I do agree that a bit more sharpness would be in order...just to have to face POP out a bit more. Good work, mate!
cmarino (2490) 2005-08-05 7:34
Marvelous portrait, Sohrab.
I particularly like the illumination here. Superb !
Homerhomer (4080) 2005-08-05 8:18
Agree with all the complements you already got, this portrait is very McCurryish, I however mostly like the fact that this isn't your typical picture, the variety is good and I know that with few surprises (like this one) here and there and you regular and excellent Sohrabish images you will keep me entertained for a long time to come.
I like how much larger and sharper this reposted version is though. But, strangely, I actually like the colour palette of the original-- it's not accurate but it just seems closer to the real tanned/brown skin tones of these beautiful people (and is closer to the balance on my Kodak EBX slides).
But I'm just nitpicking-- you quickly gained his trust and curiosity and it has rewarded you with the ingredients for this excellent portrait.

Great portrait. Nice colours.

great use of DOF and light Sohrab! this tight crop is incredibly powerful!!
i love it!
AnimeshRay (9089) 2005-08-06 1:34
I must run now, leaving tomorrow for ~10 days, but I could not but stop to applaud this absolutely wonderful portrait. I did not realize that your talent extends equally to portraiture. Absolutely wonderful use of selective focusing, brilliantly saturated color, and his expression is memorable.
Keep well.
PixelTerror (0) 2005-08-06 4:31
Hi Sohrab,
Yesssss, colors ! Well I guess if you begin to post color shots I'll have to try B&W some day ;-)
This portrait is superb, the expression, DoF, colors and skin details are excellent, the foreground shirt brings a nice lightening color touch. Knowing this has been scanned adds to appreciation as the quality is outstanding.
Have a nice day,
RandomCameraGuy (3071) 2005-08-06 18:57
it's a good shot Sohrab. very McCurry.
Perhaps too McCurry though.
As much as I think he does very good work, I always thought his portraits were just a little boring. I prefer to see a bit more attitude, or a more original framing than the traditional sort, or more of his environment.
It's good, but it aint close to your best.
SoupDragon (652) 2005-08-07 3:23
It's Ok, it's not bad, I like it, but it isn't your usual level (which I struggle in vain to get close to). Even reading the note with the original, it didn't do for me, what it says you want it to do. Something (and I can't explain what) is missing.
bnallama (3763) 2005-08-07 13:43
Sohrab this is simply lovely. I love the colors and the look of this man that you have captured. His smile hidden behind the betelnut is just wonderful.
avis2avis (4264) 2005-08-12 5:26
Good to see this repost. Fabulous portrait. Probably the best on TE IMO.
babul (612) 2005-08-18 13:19
nice portrait sohrab ,super colours are you going to the colour ,somthimes pictures look difrent in colour than black and white in this shoot is good choise

Dip-Dyed Scarves
Inspired by a traditional Japanese textile, this versatile accessory is just a length of fabric and a bottle of dye away.
Photography: Johnny Miller
Source: Martha Stewart Living, October 2012
To create traditional Japanese textiles using the shibori technique, a plant was often plucked, fermented, and reduced to make an indigo dye, and then a piece of fabric was folded, compressed, or twisted, bound, and dipped into it. Consider this project a shortcut: To achieve almost the same effect, you need little more than a length of fabric (nearly any fiber will work), a bottle of blue dye, and a few plastic bins.
The result is a lightweight scarf perfect for crisp fall days that can be wrapped, dangled around your shoulders, or even worn as a belt. The look is elegant but also as loose as the process itself. Choosing a Fabric Different fabrics soak up color in different ways. Experiment with scraps of fabric, the widths of the accordion folds, and the dilution of the dye.
These four scarves are made of, from far left, cotton, bamboo rayon, rayon, and crepe de chine silk. The longer you dip your scarf, the more likely the dye will bleed.
Resources: Cotton gauze scarf, 15" by 60", bamboo rayon scarf, 11" by 60", rayon scarf, 11" by 60", and crepe de chine scarf, 15" by 60", dharmatrading.com. Liquid dye, in Denim Blue, Royal Blue, and Aquamarine, and dye fixative, ritdye.com.
3 plastic bins
Liquid dye
Dye fixative
Accordion-fold scarf. Press with iron, and secure with clothespins. (If scarf is wider than bins, fold in half widthwise after accordion-folding.)
Mix dye in a bin according to manufacturer's instructions. Dip scarf's folded edge in dye (the resulting stripe will be twice as wide as the dip).
Dip scarf's folded edge in another bin filled with cold water to rinse it.
Mix fixative in another bin according to manufacturer's instructions. Dip folded edge in fixative to set.
Clip accordion-folded scarf to a clothesline or a pants hanger hung from a broom handle suspended between chairs. Place newspaper or a drop cloth underneath scarf to protect surfaces. Let hang until completely dry, about 1 day.

Bermuda 106 and 123 for 4 (Outerbridge 71*, Lyons 2-20) need a further 250 runs to beat Scotland 282 and 106 for 9 dec (Watts 83, McCallum 42*, O'Brien 3-39)
Scotland remained in the driver's seat for the second day in succession after enforcing a declaration, leaving the hosts Bermuda a challenging 373 to win going into the final day in Hamilton. Scotland strengthened their position with quick wickets, before an unbeaten 71 by Steven Outerbridge just managed to keep Bermuda afloat.
Scotland began the day with a lead of 259 and extended it to 301 before Craig Smith fell for 38. Smith's overnight partner, Fraser Watts, missed out on a century as he became medium-pacer Steven Kelly's second victim of the morning. The steady fall of wickets didn't affect Scotland's position in the match as the lead stretched beyond 350. Neil McCullum finished with an unbeaten 42 before Scotland declared with the fall of the ninth wicket on 196.
Bermuda suffered an early blow as Chris Foggo, their top scorer from the first innings, had to retire hurt on nought. The opening bowlers, Dewald Nel and Gordon Goudie kept the pressure by removing James Celestine and Oronde Bascome respectively to leave Bermuda at 20 for 2. Outerbridge and Oliver Pitcher revived Bermuda with a stand of 45 but a double-strike by the left-arm spinner Ross Lyons on the same score put Scotland back in command. Outerbridge and Rodney Trott added 58 and ensured Bermuda didn't lose any more wickets till stumps. With another 250 to get, Bermuda would need more such partnerships to fight it out and make amends for their first-innings collapse.

History of Echo Hill Camp
Established 1914
Echo Hill turned 100 years old this summer! The camp has a long and great history and even though it has reached 100 years of age, the camp philosophy, campus and traditions, for the most part, have remained untouched. We like to think of Echo Hill as a bubble from the outside world, such as it was 100 years ago when children enjoyed their summers without cell phones and shoes. They preferred bathing suits as opposed to expensive jeans, and were more concerned with their daily activities rather than what was thought of them. Today hundreds of campers enjoy these same time honored traditions and have a chance to escape back to a simpler time and place. A place of "Contentment, beauty, and friendship".
In 1952, Echo Hill Camp moved to its current location on the beautiful Eastern Shore of Maryland. Peter and Terry Rice attended camp here in 1955-1957! The property was leased to Echo Hill Camp by the Harris Family Trust who have owned the land for hundreds of years and still do to this day. The property itself has had many purposes prior to Echo Hill. It was a Turkey Farm, Peach Orchard, Tomato Farm and even part of the US Army Base in 1943. Our Art Center building used to be the Army Base mess hall! Though the valuable property could have been used for many more profitable industries, the Harris Family decided that nothing was as rewarding as helping children grow in the natural environment. That was a decision that 1000's of children have personally been impacted by and has changed many lives for the better.
In 1966, the Peter P. Rice, Sr., family purchased Echo Hill Camp. Peter Rice, Sr., had directed the day camp at Sidwell Friends School in Washington DC for over 25 years and had always wanted to run a sleep-away camp. It was a family affair with Pauline Rice tutoring and Peter and Terry working as counselors. Though the owners changed when Peter and Pauline bought the camp, many of the philosophies stayed the same and little has changed since that transition today. In 1970, Peter Rice, Jr., took over Echo Hill from his parents and in 1972 he founded the Echo Hill Outdoor School. Currently the camp and school have an incredibly positive impact on over 7000 children each year!

- "That's clearly no ordinary toy!"
- ―Xing Cai; Warriors Orochi
Samurai Warriors[edit | edit source]
Oichi is a kind individual who believes in her loved ones. After helping her brother at Okehazama, she joins the Oda ranks at Inabayama Castle. Though worried for her sister-in-law's feelings, the elder calms her by merely stating that she is making a choice. Contemplating Nō's words, she marries to Nagamasa and is forced to fight her brother years later at Anegawa. Wanting to find an alternative solution to the conflict, she believes that Nō can convince Nobunaga to stop while defending her husband and Yoshikage.
If she fails to succeed in either task, she gives into fighting her brother and believes that she is the only one capable of killing him. Despite Oda officers and her husband trying to dissuade her from this path, she aids the Azai march at Azuchi Castle to take Nobunaga's life. They succeed and Nagamasa becomes the near unifier of the land. Nō, mad with Nobuanga's death, leads the remaining Oda officers into rebellion at Honnōji. As they fight, Ieyasu and Hideyoshi also voice their objection to Nagamasa's new seat of power. Slaying a majority of the Oda followers, Oichi is resolute to continue fighting beside her love in her brother's name.
An Oichi who quickly routs Nobunaga at Anegawa saves the Azai main camp from danger. Hoping to fulfill her wish, she hurries to meet her brother in Azuchi Castle to negotiate peace between her two families. Arriving at the top floor, she instead meets Mitsuhide and learns of his plans to defect. With this in mind, she and her husband hurry to Nobuanga's rescue at Honnōji. She convinces her brother to live past the betrayal and he escapes with Nō and Ranmaru. Enjoying a fireworks show after their victory, the two men share a brief exchange of apologies and reconcile.
In Samurai Warriors 2, she begins her story happily married with Nagamasa yet distrusts her brother's word of good faith for his alliance with the Azai. Grabbing the closest weapon she could find, she joins her husband in suppressing bandits in a nearby village. As Nobunaga breaks his promise to not attack the Asakura, Nagamasa decides to pursue the Oda to aid his family allies. Oichi, wanting to fight for her lover than her family, joins the chase at Kanegasaki and aids the Azai-Asakura front at Anegawa. Winning the latter conflict causes the formerly conquered forces to revolt against Nobunaga. Taking advantage of this time of weakness, Yoshikage declares himself leader of the resistance and asks both Nagamasa and Oichi to attend the fight at Mt.Usa. Although they are successful, Nobunaga regroups, deals with the rebels, and surrounds Nagamasa and Yoshikage at Odani Castle. Incredibly guilt-ridden for his actions and knowing that he wouldn't survive, Nagamasa sends Oichi back to the Oda. Nobunaga then orders her sister to lead the attack and end the Azai-Asakura alliance permanently. As per her husband's wish, she strikes him down in combat. Crying over his body, she sadly confesses her love for him a final time before he disappears into several flower petals.
Her dream stage is a contest staged by Nō at Shizugatake. Wanting to find a definitive answer over which one is the most beautiful, they clash with the Oda supporting Nō and the Azai supporting Oichi. Although she initially states that the battle is pointless, Oichi humorously gives in to the competition to prove that she is at least more beautiful than her sister-in-law.
Again joining her brother's ranks at Okehazama in the third title, she has a chance meeting with Nagamasa while paying her respects to a fallen soldier. Joyfully curious about the cheerful stranger, she decides to enter the fray to learn more about him. As the Oda officers notice the love between them, both lovers marry due to their feelings for one another and have their blessings from the Oda family. Though becoming good friends with his brother-in-law, Nobunaga tells his sister that she is the only one capable of making her wishes come true. Her dream is to help support Nagamasa's vision of a serene land filled with flowers, which she affirms after helping her brother take Inabayama Castle. When Nagamasa decides to aid Yoshikage, Oichi realizes that her husband's kindness causes her anxiety and hesitates to fight her brother. Both Nobunaga and Nagamasa notice her strain, suggesting that she return to her brother if her husband's decision pains her too much. Touched by her husband's sincerity, Oichi decides to stay by the Azai through any hardship and swears to strike down Nobunaga.
In spite of her newfound devotion, Nagamasa asks her to leave for the Oda after the Asakura fall and wait for the country he wants to create. On her trip back, she realizes her husband's dream can be made a reality with her beside him and rides back alone to rescue Nagamasa at Odani Castle. Telling her husband that they can realize his vision together, the lovers reunite and protect the castle. Routing her brother's army, they eventually gain the potential to see their dream realized. However, Shingen, Ujiyasu, Kenshin, Ieyasu, and Nobunaga oppose their rise to power and lead their armies against them at the Yogoko Lakeside. Striving to prove their love and conviction to the other lords, Nagamasa declares the conflict will be their last battle. Upon their victory and the other lords' consent, Oichi and her husband share a happy moment in the gentle, new peace.
Warriors Orochi[edit | edit source]
In both games, Oichi is faithfully following Nagamasa. During Warriors Orochi, she joins his resistance against Cao Pi and is given the task to guard their allies' reinforcement point. Following their defeat, she wishes to share the same fate as her lord and joins Wei's ranks.
In Warriors Orochi 2, she acts as Yoshikage Asakura's guide to Nagamasa. She states that her husband's noble character allowed her to gain their ally. She shares her dream mode with Sun Shang Xiang and Da Qiao. In this stage, she works with her teammates to protect a petrified Nagamasa, who was frozen by Da Ji. After defeating Okuni and a lecherous Dong Zhuo, the spell over her lover is broken and he is free to move once more.
Kessen[edit | edit source]
Oichi is a non-playable character in Kessen III. She is a timid and beautiful woman who is admired by many of Nobunaga's men. After Nagamasa's death, she later tends to Kicho's wounds after Honnoji. She can be a playable unit if the game is on Expert difficulty.
Saihai no Yukue[edit | edit source]
She makes a brief off screen and unnamed cameo in Saihai no Yukue. In Chacha's memory, she apologizes for sending her daughters away. However, she hopes her death will save them and wishes for their happiness.
Character Information[edit | edit source]
Development[edit | edit source]
Her youthful debut was done to create an idol character for the series. Key words to help her design were rabbit, sailor outfit, and fox. The main goal for her Samurai Warriors design was to show off the charm and uniqueness of a "Japanese girl". Her choice of weaponry was chosen for originality and to avoid the ethical issue of a child killing/being killed. To better fit the themes set in Samurai Warriors 2, she was given a revamp that emphasizes maturity. Though notions for changing her weapon were made, the developers decided to keep her kendama as a fun alternative for players. Since her role in this game is to be the bridge between both clans, the Azai and Oda crests also don her outfit.
The producer for Samurai Warriors 3 noted that since she was made to be more mature like a woman, the team decided to give her a different weapon. He notes that her new weapon is kinda like a hula hoop.
Personality[edit | edit source]
Unlike her design counterpart Masamune, Oichi demonstrates two different personalities in her Warriors appearances. For her debut, she is a perky and optimistic teenager who cares deeply for the ones close to her. A headstrong princess, she clings strongly to her own beliefs and is stubborn to change. Her attacks all hint a degree of childish charm. However, she can be sour to the ones who don't interest her and whines if she loses. She also overexerts herself and takes desperate actions to continue fighting for her dream. Though she admires her sister-in-law, she also admits their ideals are too different for one another.
In the following titles, Oichi matures into a calm and graceful individual. In the second title, she struggles with her knowledge of her brother's unique nature as she knows that both her loved ones will inevitably fight one another. She accepts her happiness with Nagamasa as fleeting and secretly wishes for a time when her family can fight together for a common goal. She believes strongly in destiny as well as her husband's beliefs. Unlike the previous title, her ties with her sister-in-law are strained as the latter cannot stand her. Her newest incarnation openly hates conflict but feels that she has the obligation to participate in war in order to end them. She is dearly faithful towards her love and family, not wanting to cause grief to either. She regains the fierce will to defy fate like her younger counterpart. In the Japanese script, she occasionally refers to herself in third person (市, Ichi) when talking with her husband.

Historical Information[edit | edit source]
Personal Info[edit | edit source]
Oichi no Kata was prized as a beauty of her time and was cherished by her older brother. She was intelligent and speculated to be slightly taller than most woman of the age. Nobunaga once stated, "If Ichi was a man, she would make a fine warrior." Shibata Katsuie and Maeda Toshiie were said to be amongst her admirers. Likewise, it is believed that Nagamasa highly valued her as his precious wife. Based on what is known of her, people generally accept that she was faithful and loving to both her husbands.
She is said to have never liked Toyotomi Hideyoshi, which is possibly one of the reasons why she declined to be sent away while with Katsuie. Ironically, it is assumed Hideyoshi cared for her since he tried to save her and her children's lives.
Life and Death[edit | edit source]
Oichi was Oda Nobuhide's daughter and Nobunaga's younger sister. Her mother was an unnamed concubine who said to have also given birth to several of her siblings. Her other names include Ichihime (市姫), Odani no Kata (小谷の方), and Hideko (秀子).
In 1567, Oichi was married to Azai Nagamasa to create a friendly alliance between the Oda and Azai clans. Nobunaga was very grateful for the marriage and paid for the ceremony entirely (traditionally, the expenses are meant to be shared). The two clans prospered and worked well together until three years later. Seeing Nobunaga abuse the shogun's power, their relations grew sour and Nagamasa betrayed Nobunaga. A story relates that Oichi sent her brother a sack of beans tied at both ends, ostensibly as a good-luck charm but in reality a warning that he was about to be attacked from both front and rear by the Asakura and Azai clans. According to the story, Nobunaga understood the message and retreated from his brother-in-law's assault in time. Their aggressions towards one another ended with Nagamasa's death at Odani Castle.
Oichi and her three daughters (Chacha, Hatsu, and Eiyo) were allowed to return to their brother's care. Their eldest son, Manbukumaru, was killed by Nobunaga's men while their second son, Majumaru, was forced into priesthood. Oichi's life and daughters were partially spared thanks to Nobunaga's younger brother, Nobukane. He reportedly said, "The Azai bloodline should not be spoiled." Oichi spent the next nine years peacefully living with her children in his residence.
She was remarried to Shibata Katsuie in 1582. Nobunaga's son, Nobutaka, did so to gain an alliance with Katsuie. When Katsuie lost at the Battle of Shizugatake, Oichi chose to die with him at Fukui Castle. She died at age 37. Her last words were, "As I stand here, not leaving nor waiting, a sound strikes the departing summer night. A cuckoo perhaps?" Her daughters were sent away to Hideyoshi. On the seventh anniversary of her death, Chacha drew her mother's portrait and it became known as "Portrait of One of Sengoku's Beauties". She was posthumously recognized as Empress Meisho's great-grandmother.
Today, she has a mascot character in her image (named Oichi-chan) at Azai, Shiga.

Not wanting to heat up the oven for Mr. C's cake, we pulled it out of the freezer to defrost.

As well, on our footsteps we have access to incredible institutions and facilities of which we have established many partnerships with and affords us the opportunity to take student learning beyond the walls of the classroom.
It's a vibrant, diverse, caring community that embraces change and is always striving to be better. It is academically ambitious and committed to the holistic development of the young people in its care. One day I am discussing the impact of plastic in our oceans and the next day I am teaching students to scuba dive, so that they can see impacts themselves. That's why I love IGS.
I love teaching our amazing students who are creative risk takers, willing to explore ideas which transcend linguistic, cultural and social barriers. They are open minded, accepting, critical thinkers who believe anything is possible! IGS was founded as a dream which nurtured the resources within, including mother tongue and cultural ties. It is a home of lifelong friendships and connections. It is a very special place to teach as we are all encouraged to continue to dream and imagine future possibilities.

What is a Servant Leader?
Servant Leader/ship has evolved into a popular leadership model. In 1970, Robert K. Greenleaf developed this model and his thought process behind the concept of Servant Leadership happens when a person/s reach out to serve others and leave behind the command and control models of leadership by focusing on being more in tune with the needs of others.
The word 'Servant' in this concept would be a person/s that devotes his/herself to meet the needs of those people that he/she lead plus work to serve the needs of organization members. Also, the 'Servant' works in developing employees to be the best they can be by encouraging self expression and personal growth by working to build a sense of community and joint ownership.
A great Servant Leader is so effective at meeting the needs of those working around them that their followers can reach their full potential and perform to the best of his/her ability. There is a strength in looking at this type of leadership because it moves us past the self-serving and domineering leadership style. Servant Leadership has more of a focus on how to respect, value, encourage, and mentor the people that report to the team leader.
The concept and principles of Servant Leadership are quite admirable but t is the societal image of "Servant" that can be a problem and at times misleading. Hopefully, everyone has a better idea of what a Servant Leader is because my next blog will share some components surrounding the concept of Servant Leadership/Leaders.

His free spirited energy exudes warmth and joy through a familiar voice, as we begin an exclusive phone interview with the headliner of the WE ARE ALL ONE CONCERT, the great reggae legend himself, Mr. Maxi Priest. Urban Islanders are among many who love and support reggae artists such as Maxi Priest and his music. The British reggae singer has a unique sound unlike any other that touches, moves, and inspires waves of people globally. His creativity speaks volumes through a beautiful infusion of reggae lover's rock and rnb. Exceptional hits such as "Wild World" and "Crazy Love" were popular by demand for decades, and still is today. Maxi Priest offers the world the gift of music in which fans can relate to and forever cherish amongst each other. The humble artist was delighted to take time out of his hectic schedule to share his latest news with us in addition to some of his life experiences, both personal and musical.
TWID: What are you currently working on in regards to your music? What can your fans look forward to?
MAXI PRIEST: At the moment I got a single out called 'Easy To Love', as its been titled, 'Easy To Love', no matter girl, boy, son, child, daughter, relationship-'Easy To Love,'meaning no stress. We are now in the process of finishing an album, Shaggy and I did some stuff on it, there is a duet on it with Beres Hammond, Donovan Jermaine. That's basically what we're on at the moment and other than that we're touring and doing what we regularly and normally do, which is tour and perform music to the world. We're looking to drop the album probably the first quarter of next year, we should have another single out by the end of the year, pretty soon.
TWID: Who is your favorite artist? Which artist would you like to work with?
MAXI PRIEST: There's so many, my favorite artist goes from way back when- Marvin Gaye, to the great R. Kelly, to Miguel, so many people. I'd like to do something with Miguel, that'd be off the hook. Neyo, my thing is broad, Kanye West, we can go across the board.
TWID: Who and what inspires you and your music?
MAXI PRIEST: Everything inspires me; good, bad, ugly, indifference. Everything inspires me because everything is life, everything is the world, and everything is everything. A mother and her child, a child just crying inspires me. It inspires me in so many different ways. I learn, I live to see and I live to learn and understand, that in itself inspires me. Some of the great artists of all time- Dennis Brown, Bob Marley, Marvin Gaye, all the Motown, all the Studio One. Theres so many artists today that inspire me, from Madonna to Kanye West, to Miguel to Rolling Stones, everything. Life in general, Jamaica, America, England, the world- inspires me in so many different ways. I keep my eyes and my ears open and when you got an ability to sing, then you are really like a vessel, and the blessing of God has allowed me to be able to eat inspiration and send it out through my vocals.
TWID: Your identity experience is somewhat similar to diaspora of Pacific Islanders in the U.S. How did music play a role in finding your identity as a born Jamaican being raised in England?
MAXI PRIEST: Music played a massive role, both inspirationally and culturally. Growing up in England, when I was a kid back in the day, we had a lot of racial discrimination. We went through a lot of it. We were always told to go home, go back to your own country, things like that. We were always told that we don't belong here, and the vibration of the music made us realize that we come from somewhere, we are somebody, we have a foundation, we have a root, and that makes you strong, it makes you understand where you're coming from, it makes you understand where you should be heading, or your responsibility in this world, in this time. It's not what the world can offer you it's what you can offer the world. But sometimes you can feel weak, if you don't understand where you are from or feel like you have a foundation. The music delivered a cultural message to us, Rastafari, both religiously and also culturally. It made us realize that we are somebody, we stand from something. It gave us a sense of belonging. Everyday you get up and somebody is telling you go back to your own country, go home, but your born here, but in saying that, still, you alway knew. My parents had 9 of us, 4 of us were born in England, so we always knew, yes we come from somewhere. At the same time, it gave you a backbone and substance
TWID: How do you feel about the Pacific Island People and the love they have for your music?
MAXI PRIEST: I admire many reggae artists and groups such as House of Shem. I'm inspired by Pacific Island people because they have always loved reggae music, they have supported reggae music. We kind of have the same kind of upbringing, we've gone through the same challenges of life, and I think that through the reggae music we found a unique bond. Having the opportunity to go to Hawaii and Fiji and meet so many different other groups, have been a fantastic inspiration to us. Those people have inspired me in so many different kind of ways. I want to say to the Pacific Island People thank you very much for your support over the years not only for my music but for reggae music on a whole. Without you there is no us, we need this continued support so that we can keep this thing rollin on the high that it deserves.
TWID: What is your most memorable performance?
MAXI PRIEST: My most memorable performances have been so many. My first performance was in a place called Nottingham, England. I remember the very first time I went to Japan and stood up there on stage and performed for so many thousands of people. My performances at reggae Sunsplash in Jamaica, in Montego Bay, on stage with Dennis Brown, Gregory Issacs, and the list goes on, I got so many memorable performances. Each one of them I appreciate very much so from the bottom of my heart. I appreciate each time and each moment, even when sometimes the show didn't turn out so well, but there was folks there and we appreciated that because 1 or 2 was better than 0.
TWID: What do you enjoy doing during your spare time? Are there any particular hobbies you have?
MAXI PRIEST: I play soccer, I try to find as much time as I can for family, friends, I have bonafide friends I've had from when I was 5 years old. I'm a groundsman, when I say a groundsman I mean I'm grounded; I like to stay in contact with my peeps, with my peoples, I like to stay grounded. I have a massive family of 9 brothers and sisters, they will keep my ass grounded whether I like it or not, 'Aye Max you ain't no superstar in here, keep this thing in check', they would soon let me know, but at the same time they appreciate what I do and they support what I do. I give thanks and praise for them 24/7 because if it wasn't for them, then you know my name would not be echoed.
TWID: What does success mean to you?
MAXI PRIEST: Success for me is an achievement of my peoples, so that we can move to the next level, so that we can change a lot of life's situations- as in the more we progress, the better for our offspring, for the younger generation as they come up. When we have people like Oprah, Obama, and Nelson Mandela, that are successful it lifts up a lot of the oppression that a lot of our folks who might not be as privileged or as wealthy, to have hope for change. And I don't mean physical change, I mean mental change. So that is one of the most important things for me is that we achieve and find a massive success so that whatever success that we achieve, it can trickle down to others.
Well said from an honorable figure whom we can look to not only for musical influence but an advocate for change as well. We appreciate you Maxi Priest for your light and voice that you share with the world. It's What. He. Do.
*Be sure to watch Maxi Priest perform live at the WE ARE ALL ONE concert hosted by Joyce Productions on October 13, 2013 at the Hollywood Park Casino, Inglewood, CA. For more information on the show, you can call (414) 745-5780.

Beaches near Barcelona: Castelldefels, Sitges and Garraf
Summer comes and you feel like enjoying a beach day. Why not take the train and leave the city? South of Barcelona, the beaches of Castelldefels, Sitges and Garraf are waiting for you.
In about 20 minutes by train you can get to Castelldefels (make sure you get off at Castelldefels – playa), which has a nearly 5 kilometers long beach with all kinds of services. In this endless beach you can also play sports like kytesurf.
If you are staying at The Urban Suites, you will have to go walking during 5 minutes to Spain Square, where you have to take the yellow bus L95.
30 minutes away by train from Barcelona lies the small village of Garraf, with a (relatively) small beach. It looks like a cove ("cala") and the fishermen's huts give to this beach a special charm.
Sants Station is situated 5 minutes walking from The Urban Suites, where you can take the line R2 with destiny to Sant Vicenç de Calders or Vilanova i la Geltrú and 7 stops after, you will be in Garraf.
In about 35 minutes by train you can get to Sitges, a beautiful village known for its gay nightlife, its lively shopping centre, and its numerous beaches. The character of each of them makes it breathe very different atmospheres: there are small and quiet coves ("calas"), wide beaches of fine sand and familiar atmosphere, and urban beaches overlooking the historical center and situated on the Paseo.
To go to Sitges, you will have to take the R2 line in Sants Station, with a frequency every 30 minutes and a duration of 25.

BB, thought you were trying to hijack the thread
. Trapper, no doubt. Although I do love to hunt. As a matter of fact adding some traps to the kit might not be a bad idea. But that is fodder for another thread...dusty

I already am both so it doesn't matter.
But if I had to choose... a trapper is much more efficient.

Well I would PREFER to hunt but Trapping is probably more efficient in meat provided vs calories expended. Since we are talking LT survival it would be interesting trying to trap deer and elk with big drags.

I'd rather be a "skilled" trapper as the question asks, because then I can be an "opportunistic" hunter. It would always be possible to shoot something that I happen upon as I'm checking the traplines!
Also, one can be a "lousy" hunter and still be "lucky enough" to add to the larder once in a while yet rely on the traps as the primary means!

Well. I will ad my opinion again to this civil discourse. Hunting can be a hit or miss situation. You can't be in all places at all times. Right now as it stands this looks like it will be a second season in a row without a deer. I had a real honey hole in Connecticut that was lost. That spot was basically a guaranteed fill of both rifle tags. No longer.
When I go to the club for the monthly meeting we're going to discuss the problem of a family of beaver who moved onto the property and now may have flooded a good five acres or more. I have my trapping certificate and can take care of the problem.
If I catch ten beaver that is a lot of meat . I can have a conibear do it's duty while I eat, sleep and work for money at my other vocation, so to speak. Bruce Hemmings, aka Buckshot trapper has or had a lot of information on trapping. He stated that during the Great Depression trappers were able to feed their families why many others went without. Something to think about.
Hunger is the best sauce.

On farm land beaver can be a headache. I didn't have traps. The DNR (we can kill anything that causes destruction of crops or cropland without permits) advised to trap or kill a large adult and the remaininng family would move on. I would sit on the creek bank within sight of the lodge in the evening and shoot the biggest beaver. It seemed to work. No more damage or sign that season. That, and peeing on their targeted trees..........really, it works.

Seems to me that a good skill set to study is the use of snares. You can carry a selection of locking braided steel snares in your bug out bag with out sacraficing much in the way of weight or room.

I have a spool of seven strand wire designed for making fishing leaders. I once tied fine wire leaders for fly fishing pike and musky.
It is perfect snare wire.

The diehard resister/survivor needs 110 and 220 conibear
traps; a good 22LR rifle with scads of subsonic ammo, and
a rifle capable of 500 yard kills. In a static situation traps
bring home the bacon while you chop wood, work on the cabin,
work the garden etc.
In SERE one may have to suddenly unass the area. I'd
use very quiet 22 subsonic to harvest freeloaders at the bait.
Each kill provides a gut pile for bait.
..we also keep a couple 50# bags of black oil sunflower
seeds around as the Mrs. is an avid bird/wildlife watcher
............ our visitors include doves, squirrels, raccoons,
porcupines, and black bears. Easy protein, without

In an area where large and small game abound,
Only downside of trapping in a situation like that is you will not be able to harvest big game efficiently, if at all. Snaring deer is a mite tricky......if you have the means or the temperatures to preserve it, a big game animal offers a lot of chow for one kill.
I've eaten beaver.....not something I'd care to make a steady diet of.

A stop motion animated film which I produced entirely on my own trough the course of four months. Shot on 35 mm film and animated without a tele assist. This was me in the deepest end in the last year of my Bachelor degree, happy on my own in a cold disused film studios hall with and old Mitchell camera and scraps of unused 35 mm film.
The film was produced with the kind assistance of Boyana Film Studios and the script was developed and refined with the assistance of Slav Bakalov.

Ty Steinbacher, resides in the western Catskill village of Walton, NY. From his studio surroundings he paints in a variety of mediums but prefers to work in oils. He captures beauty with a brush, during his plein air excursions with nature and landscape, the capturing of the essence of the model in the studio or in the melding of the two. Ty has made his living as an artist since his youth. He has accepted commissions to provide his income for most of his career.
Since 2004, Ty, has limited his commission work to explore his own subject matter. He exhibits an eclectic mix of subject, expression, and style. In 2004, the work "Solitude" was chosen for the "New Directions" National Juried Contemporary Art Exhibition at The Barrett Art Center, Poughkeepsie. This was the only piece of portraiture selected by the juror from the Whitney Museum of American Art. Several other works have been honored with selection to the national and regional shows at the Cooperstown Art Association.
His paintings have shown in a variety of venues, being recognized nationally for excellence. The artist continues his growth through the exploration of his craft. The year 2005 saw a flurry of acquisitions, his paintings are in collections throughout New York, nationally and abroad.
In 2006 Ty has combined his travel experiences with his work on the human form. Exploring the combination of his subjects with the Maine coast, the subtropical forests of Florida and the Outer Banks of North Carolina. He experiments with the differences of mood , texture, temperature and light in his newer works.

Artprice: H1 2018 Global Art Market Report – all indicators are positive.[07 Aug 2018]
First Half 2018: the Art Market posted a general recovery of +18%
- Global auction turnover on Fine Art* rose 18%, totalling $8.45 billion
- Transaction numbers remained stable with 262,000 lots sold, up 2.5% vs. H1 2017
- The USA posted a massive 48% increase, with total turnover of $3.3 billion
- China*, with $2 billion in turnover, reduced its unsold rate before a decisive H2
- The UK, with auction turnover up 18% to $1.9 billion, is just behind China
- The EU is contributing to growth: France +8%, Germany +17%, Italy +22%
- Modern Art, the mainstay of the market's high-end, accounted for 46% of total turnover
- Modigliani and Picasso both scored results above $100 million threshold
- Zao Wou-Ki was China's best-performer in H1 2018 with total sales of $155 million
- Contemporary Art's global price index rose 27%, a serious competitor of the S&P 500
* Public sales of Fine Art (Painting, Sculpture, Drawing, Photography, Prints, Installations)
**In collaboration with Art Market Monitor of Artron (AMMA)
General conclusion…
Worldwide, the Art Market grew by +18% in H1 2018, pursuing the growth we saw in H1 2017 (+9%) and confirmed in H2 2017 (+32%).
Global figures
At a global level, more than 262,000 Fine Art lots were auctioned in the first six months of 2018, generating a total product of $8.45 billion (including fees). Artprice, the world leader in Art Market information since 1987, has systematically analysed and digested the results of more than 3,532 auction sales around the world. This half-year report covers public sales of Fine Art (painting, sculpture, drawing, photography, prints and installations).
Read Artprice.com's H1 2018 Global Art Market Report online at:
According to thierry Ehrmann, Artprice founder and CEO, "Since the turn of the century, the Art Market has demonstrated an exceptionally high degree of maturity, resisting the NASDAQ crisis, the consequences of nine-eleven, of the second Iraq war and of course the unprecedented financial and economic crises that started in 2007. Since then, it has been operating against a backdrop of negative interest rates that undermine the value of savings and, more recently, in a global context of heightening geopolitical tensions. During these past 18 years, the Art Market has managed to adapt to reality, not only avoiding its own collapse in the face of financial crises, but actually creating a genuine investment safe-haven without forming a speculative bubble."
The attractive returns on art over the last few years have outperformed many other investments and the Art Market has become an independent, liquid and efficient market on all continents.

The Top 500 artists by sales product indicates China has acquired, over he years, a significant position in the Art Market and now boasts 128 of the world's 500 most-rated artists, far ahead of the United States (82) and Great Britain (27).
The data pertaining to the Chinese Art market is the fruit of Artprice's 7-year collaboration with its Chinese institutional partner, Artron Group and AMMA (Art Market Monitor by Artron), directed by Wan Jie.
Despite a relatively unfavourable economic context, the global art market has shown signs of buoyancy, driven by a powerful combination of investment logic, speculative buying, passion collecting and insatiable demand for major signatures from new museums around the world.
These growth drivers rely heavily on easy access to reliable Art Market information such as provided by Artprice (pioneer and global leader in the field) and have been boosted by a whole series of underlying phenomena. These include a rapidly spreading awareness that every aspect of participation in the art market, including online sales, can be conducted via the Internet (98% of participants are connected to Internet); a financialisation of the art market's high-end fostered by its stability and transparency; a rapid increase in the art-buying population from roughly 500,000 after 1945 to approximately 90 million in 2018; a significant reduction in the average age of market players and a major geographical expansion of the market to nearly all of Asia, the Pacific Rim, India, South Africa, the Middle-East and South America
Another massive Art Market driver is the new-era museum industry (700 new museums per year) that has become a significant economic reality in the 21st century. More museums opened between 2000 and 2014 than in the previous two centuries.
Hungry for museum quality works, this sector is one of the primary drivers of the Art Market's spectacular growth. The Art Market is now both mature and liquid, offering yields of 10% to 15% per year on works valued over $100,000.
Considering these macro- and micro-economic data, the past 18 years have confirmed the Art Market's potential as a safe haven against economic and financial turbulence, generating substantial and recurring yields.
With central banks effectively working in a negative interest rate environment, the Art Market looks very healthy by comparison having posted a 2,108% growth in the annual auction turnover of its Contemporary segment over the past 18 years. The global Art Market has also posted linear growth
In the average value of an artwork (Old, Modern and Contemporary) of +25% over the same period. If we look at the Contemporary segment alone, the progression is +88%.

Congratulations to Millie Austin, a 2012 graduate of West Branch High School, for receiving the American FFA Degree in November 2013.
The American FFA Degree is the highest degree you can receive in FFA. It is also a degree that less than two percent of all FFA members receive! This is such a huge accomplishment for Millie. It takes countless hours of book work, individual work with farm animals and projects, and community service.
We are very proud of Millie for achieving this award.
