My main aim is to build road legal, a tax exempt leaf sprung Land Rover with serious off-road potential. Why not go for a coil sprung chassis? The short answer is that I like being difficult! The long answer is a bit more complicated. I have a sort of on-going competition with a friend. We both try to achieve the same aim using different systems. For instance he built an independent suspension radio control off-roader so I built a beam axle one. Both vehicles achieve ridiculous amounts of articulation (I can nearly get the axles of mine at 90 degrees to each other!). Mine is more powerful and handles better but his is more manoeverable as he went for 4-wheel steering. Off road they are pretty evenly matched, with mine being better at steep rocky climbs while his is better in tight spaces. There are some pics of the car here.
So.. he has got a Range rover with the usual off road tweaks such as 2" lift, double rear shocks, 33" tyres etc. This is one heavy machine - the bumpers and sill protectors are made of 4" dia, 1/2" wall hydraulic pipe! As he has already done the heavyweight coil sprung thing I have to try leafs on a light weight vehicle. Sanity is not an option!
The first task was to find a suitable vehicle - a tax exempt Series II or IIa 88" SWB with reasonable bodywork but rotten chassis. After asking around I found someone who had a Series IIa with overdrive but without cylinder head or rear halfshafts. The price? He wanted enough money to buy a PTO pump for his hydraulic winch. Conveniently I had a PTO hydraulic pump to fit his gearbox so the exchange was quickly made.
The bodywork was a bit more battered than I would have liked and the bulkhead was .. er .. wasn't! However, at that price I was happy. After removing the bodywork the full extent of the chassis rot and prevous owner bodgery became apparent. There was no way that this chassis could be put back on the road.


A British couple got the best wedding surprise ever when their dream ceremony in Italy was gatecrashed by Justin Bieber and his new fiance Hailey Baldwin.
Rebecca Reed-Sperrin and Stefan Johansen tied the knot at the exclusive Belmond Hotel Caruso in Ravello on the picturesque Amalfi coast.
But the couple were stunned to see Bieber and Baldwin watching the nuptials from their private suite on the hotel grounds, where rooms go for £3,700 a night.
Bieber, 24, and Baldwin, 21, had been enjoying some time away from the limelight at the Italian retreat just days after getting engaged earlier this month.
The couple, who arrived in Italy after announcing their engagement, watched on as Mr Johansen, 31, and Miss Reed-Sperrin, 32, became husband and wife.
Miss Reed-Sperrin, who got engaged to her man at the hotel 18 months ago, said: 'It was surreal. We had no idea that Justin was going to be there before flying out.
'They came a few days after us and ever since they arrived there were at least 30 or 40 teens outside the hotel.
'There was security everywhere. It's usually such a quiet resort. One of my friend's spotted them watching during the speeches. We were talking on microphones so they would have been able to hear us.
However, a drone the couple had booked to film Miss Reed-Sperrin and Mr Johansen's big day was cancelled due to extra security around Bieber.
But Miss Reed-Sperrin, now enjoying a dream honeymoon in Capri, said Bieber's cameo made her special day 'even more spectacular'.
She said: 'He definitely didn't steal my thunder. It was great to have that extra wow-factor. It's nice that he stayed back.
The star-studded crowd watched on as project manager Mr Johansen, from Richmond, South West London, went about his speech none the wiser.
Miss Reed-Sperrin, who works in the oil trading industry, said Mr Johansen 'had no idea' that Bieber was listening to his every word.
She said: 'They were both stood there for a good ten minutes. Stefan didn't even realise they were there until afterwards.
'It's a good job to be honest, because if he had known it probably would have made him more flustered.
Bieber and Baldwin are thought to have left their private apartment in Italy following their four-day getaway.


What follows is a guest blog. It is written by Rob who contacted me after 'The War on Britain's Roads' on Wednesday night. His original e-mail to me is here. I asked Rob if he wanted to share his story on my blog and he agreed. Here, completely unedited, is what he sent me.
Is it a sign of weakness to say that you were wrong? To admit that you feel ashamed of your views and of the abuse you heaped upon someone? I was brought up to fight my corner, to stand up for my beliefs but also to hold my hand up and apologise when I was wrong. So, here I am. Holding my hand up and apologising.
I admit that I settled down to watch last night’s “The War on Britain’s Roads” looking forward to seeing footage of cyclists getting what they deserve. That may sound harsh but let me explain. I have been a professional driver for over fifteen years, driving buses and coaches all over the UK from the Highlands of Scotland to central London. I have always tried my best to be courteous to cyclists and to be mindful of the space that they need. I have been infuriated though, when that consideration appears not to have been repaid. I have lost count of the amount of times that I have been held up by cyclists not using a cycle path, or not been able to pass a cyclist on the road as they have been a fair way out from the gutter.
I recall one day rummaging around on YouTube, as one does. I stumbled across one of Magnatom’s videos and gave it a watch. I was immediately incensed at what I perceived to be his piousness and his selfishness. So I watched another of his videos, which did nothing to change my opinion. I even had little sympathy for him after watching the clip of the tanker on the roundabout that was featured on the programme last night. And so my antipathy towards cyclists was strengthened, and I posted abusive comments towards him under a lot of his videos.
Then, one morning at rush hour I was driving a commuter service into Preston. There was a cyclist ahead who was not using the provided cycle path, which meant that as the road was a dual carriageway I would be unable to pass him safely as it was extremely busy. So I passed him with inches to spare. He contacted my depot to complain and I was invited to view the CCTV footage from the bus. I was looking forward to clearing my name and to justifying the manner of my driving. However, once I had been shown the CCTV footage I was shocked at how little room I had given him. It was not inches as I had thought but millimetres. One slight wobble by the cyclist (which would have been perfectly possible given that he was being passed by a fifteen tonne double decker bus) would have sent him under the wheels. This sobering incident probably planted the seed in my brain that last night’s programme propagated.
The programme made me realise that most cyclists don’t do things simply to wind motorists up. What can be perceived as selfish riding can often simply be self-preservation on the part of the cyclist. Yes, there are moronic cyclists, of course there are. But as the programme amply demonstrated there are also moronic motorists. I was shocked at the behaviour of some drivers, shocked at how little they valued the life of another human being. And then I remembered my encounter in Preston. And realised that I was one of those drivers. That was a truly horrible feeling, knowing that I could so easily have killed that cyclist. There was no excuse for me driving like that.
Well done for coming forward to admit your error and apologise to Magnatom.
If you are able to reply to comments I'd be really interested if you could say a little more about how you justified to yourself writing abusive comments on youtube in the first place.
It's all very well saying that you had a dislike of cyclists but resorting to anonymous abuse on the internet? Really? What are you, 12?
Dear Rob, thanks for sharing your thoughts, I genuinely appreciate that you have had the sense and decency to admit you we're wrong and seek to change your behaviour, it may have saved someone's life and prevented you from ruining your own.
I know there is a lot of antipathy towards cyclists among professional drivers as I deal with plenty of them myself. Perhaps though as you are 'on the inside' if you take the message of road peace to your colleagues it would be more effective than if it came from anyone else.
I wish I had some kind of button-actuated thank-you signal on my handlebars that I could use for considerate drivers. I use a cheery thumbs-up when I can, but of course that means I can't power through any spatial or temporal gap that the considerate driver has given me and, since I like to repay their courtesy by getting out their way ASAP, I probably look like a twunt when I don't give an acknowledgement.
I don't know which is the better bet: will they know I'm eschewing the gesture by recognising the out-of-saddle haul on the handlebars?
There is a point buried in all of this: if you, in your newly awesome driver capacity, give one of us cogjockeys a bit of space and he or she doesn't wave back but just hammers on, then I do admit they might just be a git who doesn't say thank you. They also might be trying to say 'thank you' by hammering on.
I really wish I had a way of distinguishing the two, but I don't.
Great to hear that you are now a safer driver after your experience. Your blog should be posted on every bus drivers staff room, and actually every staff room in every company. Thanks for letting us cyclists know this. If you ever see me peddling round Preston / Houghton - give a big smile!!
Kudos to Rob. I hope this story can go way further than this blog, it really needs to be heard.
Walk a mile in my shoes as they say, and perhaps there is also some walking to do from all of us.
I can recall being on the coach heading for Glasgow from Edinburgh, and we came up behind a guy doing a pretty respectable speed but not quite 30mph in the bus lane. Now just as cycle lanes have a reputation for being crap compromises, I'd reckon that those attempting to navigate a 15 x 2.55m lump with manoeuvreability and performance like walking with wellies in mud. So this fit and fast moving cyclists pulls over to the right into the traffic lane so that the coach driver gets a clean, straight run through, rather than putting both of the road users at risk by trying to judge a risky move of pulling out and then back in, hopefully with plenty of clearance.
But its worth noting that for a 15-30 mph speed difference a 1 second margin in timing the pull-in is a 22 foot difference in whether the rear end of the bus comes close or gives you decent clearance.
Oops Walking with wellies in mud is a comparison with navigating a bus lane in a typical city, watching out to make sure that the outer extremities and rear wheels fit through the ridiculous clearances provided.
Rob you are a lovely man. Nobody holds up a big commercial vehicle like that out of spite.
David Kernohan - I can't justify my comments on YouTube. Like I say, I am ashamed of what I wrote and wish that I'd never done it. To be honest, Merlot may have played a part but that is no excuse.
Rob, I was greatly moved by your admission. It takes a strong brave and intelligent person to admit they were wrong, and to change their point of view.
I hope that your example will encourage others to do the same, so that we can all learn to work together to make our road experiences as safe and enjoyable as possible - whether we're on foot, on bike, in car, truck or bus.
We all need to co-operate with each other, not create conflict.
I'm suspect if enough people read this email you will help change behaviours and potentially save some lives.
As it says in the bible "There is more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, than over ten righteous men".
You are a bigger man than most people on the road. It takes courage in the climate of Britain's roads to admit you're wrong and you made a mistake. I know how I feel when I've done something stupid on either two or four wheels.
Thank you for making the road a safer place for everyone.
"You are a bigger man than most people on the road."
Very true that there are stupid cyclists just as there are stupid drivers, but all cyclists know that it will only take one thoughtless driver or one wrong move to kill them outright, and that thought is always at the back of your mind. Conversely the driver only has to fear scratched paintwork (although I appreciate no-one wants the responsibility for an accident on their conscience either).
A thoughtful article, and much credit goes to Rob.
Well done that man. You give me hope for our society. If only everybody could be so honest.
I hope someone also helped you understand why some cycle paths are ignored by cyclists.
A lot of them are unfit for purpose due to the state of the road or insufficient width, and actually make things more dangerous for cyclists if they use them.
As a car driver I too watched the programme and my worries for my son who is a cyclist increased 10 fold. To David Kernohan, the guy has apologised and in my opinion he does not need to justify his previous points of view or behaviours. The important thing is that they have changed.
Remember not all cyclist are angels and victims of us car drivers. I find some cyclist behaviours incredibly dangerous, no lights, no helmet, no hi viz clothes and many times all the above and using their mobiles. You will always get knob heads in all walks of life, whether car drivers, bikers or cyclists.

Who actually reads this blog? Does it matter?


This review contains somewhat-moderate spoilers for Oz the Great and Powerful, though I’ll try to obfuscate them as best I can.
Like many people, my first exposure to The Wizard of Oz was the Judy Garland film. However, my second exposure was the original L. Frank Baum novel series — my local library had a bunch of them, and I read them all. Then of course there was Wicked and its sequels, and the vastly-underappreciated Return to Oz.
This year will see the release of two Oz films — Dorothy of Oz, an animated feature, and the one that came out last Friday, Oz the Great and Powerful, which I saw.
It was a film that was on a screen. That’s about how well I can explain it.


The movie is great and definitely delivers, yet hindered by its technical flaws. Thas why I think this movie is one to remember I searched desperately on the internet and I haven't found anything, not a single complete archive or description of this movie containing info about the soundtrack.
I'm interested especially about the final title generic.
It definitely deserves to be promoted worldwide. Now this movie is simply awesome! A couple of communist businessmen go fishing while their wives operatiuna they're on a business trip.

The film is an adaptation of a novel by Marin Preda, a controversial novelist who died during the Communist rule soon after the book was published. Was this review helpful to you?
Going fishing and hunting, the characters end up in the funniest and ridiculous situations. Great script, great actors, low budget, a really great movie, which MUST be revived. What makes the movie worth while are the performances by representatives of a great generation of Romanian actors. The Monstruo Family At the end of the 16th century Wallachian ruler Prince Michael the Brave overcame the adversity of the Ottoman and Austrian Empires to unite Wallachia, Moldavia and Transylvania into one country.
Add the first question. Rarely seen outside Romania, it's a revealing treat.
They take along two of their friends and side-kicks and a somewhat unstable children book writer fella who's providing them with a means of transportation. This is a great movie that's my opinion and I like it that much because it replicates very well the atmosphere of a fishing day in the Delta together with a group of great actors and a very nice storyline.

A great performance by Octavian Cotescu, who depicts another influential socialist figure, bent onto bragging either about places he has visited abroad or the fabulous things he had acquired there.

What does the pedodontist do?
A pedodontist is a dentist who takes care of both the teeth of infants and slightly older children. It is also a person who knows how to deal with children in a way that will help to reduce their fear of the unknown. Usually it is not only limited to treatment, but also provides the child with information on how to take care of the teeth and what his or her work is all about.
If you are dealing with a person who treats his or her profession as a vocation, you can also be sure that your child will be happy to go to see a dentist. Toddlers love to imitate adults, regardless of whether they like it or not.
So here opens up a huge opportunity for parents. If they instill in children how important it is to make sure that the child himself or herself does not ignore issues related to good oral hygiene. It may therefore be a good idea to take your child to the dentist's appointment with his or her parent. Such a meeting often turns out to be a valuable lesson, because it allows you to get to know the dentist at work and refutes myths about him.
When the child has all the teeth, parents should write them down for the first visit. A pedodontist is an ideal choice in this case, because we are dealing with a doctor who has been specially trained to answer children's questions and explain what his work is all about.
Once again a lot depends on the parents, so it is good if the first visit is followed by another visit, held at regular intervals from each other. Treatment of deciduous teeth is a subject that is not without reason considered to be quite sensitive.
Many parents do not hide their negative emotions when they recall how poorly equipped school dental practices were in their youth. Today, fortunately, we can already be sure that the patient's comfort will be crucial for the dentist. Booring is no longer the only service you can count on. During the visit, the child can also count on the replenishment of possible losses, without having to fear that the visit itself will be bought with pain. Some treatments can be quite unpleasant in spite of everything, so it is worth choosing a child's dentist, who will make them more attractive, for example by offering colored seals to the child. The child usually concentrates on an attractive solution. Perhaps the visit will not be one of the most pleasant, but it will not end with traumatic experiences, which can already be considered a success for both the doctor and the child's parents.


IIf a rental house needs to be tented for termites who pays for the tenant's lodging during that time?
It will take 3 days to fumigate. Does the tenant pay for security if desired while the house is tented?
You need to check your Residential Lease Agreement for specifics to your state. In California, the California Residential Lease Agreement item #31 TEMPORARY RELOCATION states that "Subject to local law, Tenant agrees, upon demand of Landlord, to temporarily vacate Premises for a reasonable period, to allow for fumigation (or other methods) to control wood destroying pests or organisms, or other repairs to Premises. Tenant agrees to comply with all instructions and requirements necessary to prepare Premises to accommodate pest control fumigation or other work, including bagging or storage of food and medicine, and removal of perishables and valuables. Tenant shall only be entitled to a credit of Rent equal to the per diem Rent for the period of time Tenant is required to vacate Premises". So, in this case, the tenant would only get comped for the 3 days of fumigation. As for "security", I would think that the tenant has Renters Insurance and thus all contents inside the Premises would be covered. The tenant should confirm this with their insurance company.


(CNN) -- Before he died, Heath Ledger had two films in production: "The Dark Knight," the latest chapter in the Batman saga, and "The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus," the latest film from director Terry Gilliam.
Heath Ledger's Joker character, here on the "Dark Knight" poster, is the focus of the film's marketing effort.
Ledger's death has affected both of them in different ways.
The actor, who died Tuesday of unknown causes at age 28, had finished filming "The Dark Knight" late last year. It's due to be released in July. But marketing of the film, currently in post-production, has been thrown into turmoil, the trade paper Variety notes.
The early push for the film has focused on Ledger's villainous Joker character, including a poster with a shrouded Joker scrawling "Why So Serious?" in blood on misty glass.
The trade paper speculates that the marketing campaign will be changed abruptly.
Watch complete coverage of the sudden death of Heath Ledger.
The role as arch villain The Joker disturbed Ledger, according to The Associated Press. He called the character a "psychopathic, mass-murdering, schizophrenic clown with zero empathy."
Although unusual, Ledger's death does not mark the first time a major star has died while a film has been in production.
Dean was nominated for an Oscar for his performance, his second posthumous Oscar nomination after "East of Eden."
Brandon Lee died during filming of 1994's "The Crow," prompting director Alex Proyas to use a stunt double and special effects. Oliver Reed had a heart attack during the making of 2000's "Gladiator"; technology made it possible for director Ridley Scott to use a double as a stand-in with Reed's face computer-generated in.
Gilliam's film, which concerns prime Gilliam material such as a magic mirror, a traveling show, the devil and a rougish character played by Ledger, is more problematic.
The cast had just completed filming in London, which actor Christopher Plummer characterized as "cold as bejesus" to Entertainment Weekly. "You know how damp it gets in London. And at night the temperature drops horribly, and that little breeze gets up. You have to wear tons of stuff," he said.
Plummer said that Ledger had a "terrible, lingering bug in London, and he couldn't sleep at all. We all -- I thought he'd probably got walking pneumonia," he told EW.
Gilliam has had challenges before. During the making of his film "The Man Who Killed Don Quixote," the Monty Python troupe member coped with filming near a NATO shooting range, a flash flood and a star with a herniated disc, a final indignity that prompted financiers to pull the plug.
But nothing approaches Ledger's death. Indeed, part of the reason Gilliam was able to obtain the film's relatively paltry $30 million financing was because of Ledger's agreement to star, according to Variety.
Ledger and Gilliam had become close during the making of Gilliam's "The Brothers Grimm" and Ledger had plans to become a feature director himself, several sources have reported. The actor had directed a handful of music videos, including one for Ben Harper, with whom he formed a record company.
Last month, Gilliam told Variety, "He's going to be a much better director than I will ever be."
Plummer told EW that "Parnassus" had "an enormous amount left to do." After a short break, the cast was going to re-convene in Vancouver, British Columbia, primarily for technical and special-effects work.

JjamBbong is a Korean version of Chinese spicy seafood noodles. It is as popular as JaJangMyun (blackbean paste noodles) in Korea. You need a lot of ingredients to make this, but it is not that difficult to make and does not take a long time. Do you like spicy seafood dishes? Then, you have to try these noodles someday.
In a large pan, add 6½ cups of water, 1 dried anchovy pack, and 8 pieces of kelp. Once it starts to boil, boil it for 5 minutes on medium. The broth is the secret to delicious Korean soups.
Meanwhile, cut the vegetables: ⅔ cup cabbage, 1 cup onion, ⅓ cup carrot, 1 handful spinach, 9 mushrooms, 1 hot green pepper, 1 hot red pepper, and 1 green onion.
Prepare the seafood: Wash 15 mussels, remove the skin and organs of 12 jumbo shrimp, and cut ⅔ cup of squid to bite sized pieces.
After 5 minutes, remove the kelp from the broth.
Boil 10 more minutes, and then remove the anchovy pack. Keep the temperature on medium. You will get about 6 cups of broth at the end.
In a heated pan, fry 3 or 4 Tbsp of hot pepper oil and ½ Tbsp of minced garlic together for 10 seconds on high.
Add the cabbage, onion, and carrot.
Add the seasonings: 3 Tbsp of red pepper powder, 2 Tbsp of cooking wine, 4 Tbsp of soup soy sauce, and 2 pinches of black pepper. Boil for about 7 minutes on medium high.
While the soup is boiling, boil the water for the noodles. Follow the instruction for the noodles you have.
After boiling the soup for 7 minutes, add the prepared seafood: shrimp, mussels, and squid.
In the boiling water, add the noodles and cook for about 7 more minutes.
Add 1 handful of spinach. Boil for 5 more minutes on high.
When the soup is almost done cooking, add the green onions.
Add the peppers. Cook 1 more minute and turn off the heat.
By this time, your noodles will be done. Rinse the noodles in cold water several times.
To serve, place some noodles in a bowl and then pour the soup with seafood and vegetables on top. Since this recipe is for 3 servings, give 5 mussels and 4-5 shrimp for each serving.
This is my lunch; it looks very delicious. Assa, it is time to try it! I am very happy about this Jjambbong recipe. I hope you can try this someday.
Thank you I have been enjoying all of your recipes!! I love you!!
Fabulous recipe!! Tried it tonight and it was absolutely delicious!!! Thanks for sharing!
I am Muslim too, and I omitted the wine and it still tastes great! Although I have no idea if it tastes the same, but my friends and I enjoyed it well.


Kudu Ridge Game Lodge is a privately owned, family-run game reserve in the heart of Addo’s malaria-free Eastern Cape in South Africa. The main entrance to the Big 5 Addo Elephant National Park lies a short 15 minutes drive away. Addo park is famous for being home to one of the densest populations of African savannah elephants on earth. Read on to find out more about elephant behaviour on an Addo safari.
Addo Elephant National Park is one of South Africa’s 19 national parks. It is the third largest park after Kruger National Park and the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park. According to the South African National Parks website the Addo park protects 170,000 hectares of land (1,700 km²) and 120,000 (1,200 km²) of Marine Protected Areas (MPA).
The original park was founded in 1931 in order to provide a sanctuary for the 11 remaining African savannah elephants in the area. The area proved to be a very good location for an expanding elephant population and is currently home to approximately 600 elephants.
The African savannah elephant is the largest mammal on earth. The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species lists this species as vulnerable, one category better off than endangered. Although numbers are increasing in areas such as Addo, elephant poaching is causing serious threats to elephant populations in other areas in Africa. The elephant conservation work carried out at the Addo National Park is so important to secure a safe home for these gentle giants. The park offers visitors the opportunity to observe the interesting, and sometimes human-like, behaviour of these pachyderms.
Here is our list of seven key elephant behaviours to watch for when observing elephant on safari in the Addo Elephant National Park.
SPEED: African elephant can move at speed! They tend to meander along at a slow pace but when it comes to a charge you don’t want to be in their way! Elephants have been know to reach speeds of up to 40km/hour.
INTELLIGENCE: Elephants are very intelligent creatures. They manifest a wide variety of behaviors, including mimicry, play, altruism, using tools, compassion, cooperation, self-awareness, memory and communication.
EMOTION: African elephants display and feel real emotion. They grieve and bury their dead. Elephants live in close-knit herds and live for around 70 years so they form strong bonds with those around them.
SUN PROTECTION: The African sun can be pretty harsh, especially during the height of summer. African savannah elephants seek out natural sunscreen and cover themselves with mud to protect themselves from the sun’s harmful UV rays. If you see them spraying mud over the backs with their trunks, then you know they are applying sunscreen.
AFFECTION: Elephants hug and console each other with their trunks. They hug each other by intertwining their trunks to show affection. They also put their trunks in the mouths of other elephants to offer comfort through physical contact.
UNIQUENESS: The unique shape and features of elephant’s ears is used to identify individuals. There is an elephant in the Addo Elephant National Park called Ougat, who can be distinguished by a hole in his ear.
SWIMMERS: African elephant enjoy swimming and are good at it! Their trunks become snorkels so that they can swim and breathe while underwater. They move all four legs with ease and can swim quite fast using their big bodies help them float.

Punk rock ain't dead but the venues certainly are. Big cities keep losing venues to gentrification and for Toronto bands like the Flatliners, who have lost no less than three punk rock venues in under a year they have had a tough time playing for all-ages crowds.
"There aren't very many places to do all-ages shows at all anymore, to be honest. If there are, they're either really big, or really, really small. It's kind of tricky these days," says vocalist and guitarist Chris Cresswell, en route to their first tour stop in St. Louis.
All ages shows are the foundation of most punk bands. The music, by its very nature, attracts an angst and aggression characterized by the teen years and often reminisced by the older punk fan. The Flatliners play to this crowd well.
They've been thrashing around the city for the better part of nine years, starting when they were still taking math exams in high school. In that time they've released three albums - most recently 2010's Cavalcade - several EPs and 7-inch vinyl-only releases and a demo.
They were still teenagers when that demo was released, geeking out in high schools in Richmond Hill and Brampton, Ont., during the week and playing shows on the weekend. Once they graduated, it became non-stop touring of dive bars in cramped vans across the world.
"We've spent maybe the last six years touring. It all kind of rolls into one after a while," Cresswell says.
"The first few tours that we did, like for any band, were pretty awful. I think for our first ever official tour we went out to the Maritimes and we barely made it to New Brunswick and then just went home. I think we went to our first show and it sucked and went home."
He says they've learned a lot since those early days, like how to deal with each other while cramped in those vans. It's naturally developed the band's sound and has allowed Cresswell, guitarist Scott Brigham, bassist Jon Darbey and drummer Paul Ramirez to hone their skills while playing with one another. It has allowed them to "hone their chops," Creswell says.
"It has made us better musicians because we spend all year on tour," he says. "All year, we're playing shows all night so we've really noticed the difference. It's clear when we listen to our own stuff from our first record to our most recent stuff."
Perhaps more than any other genre, punk rock depends on the live show to propel a band's career. People don't really buy punk rock albums, few punk rockers will find crossover hits or mainstream success. Even the biggest names are virtually unknown to those outside the punk rock world, so for a punk band, touring is everything and it has certainly aided the Flatliners in gaining a steady following.
"The only way people are going to find out about you, and remember, your band, is seeing you live," Cresswell says. "The Internet has helped, and it's so easy to get the word out now...but there are so many bands that you can find on there it's tough to remember sometimes unless you see them right in front of you."
In the off days, they bum around Toronto looking for whatever work will get them by until the next tour - bartending, landscaping, offloading concert equipment for much bigger bands than themselves.
"The whole (musical landscape) has changed," he says. "No one makes much money off of selling records anymore unless you are someone as huge as John Mayer or Beyonce. They're always going to sell records because it's pop music."
But pop the Flatliners are not. This is raucous, ska-infused punk combusting with the aggression and energy of youth.
Ah, to be young(er) again. It would be nice to jump, thrash and holler about on stage, even just once for old times sake. But for those with bad knees and brittle, arthritic bones, there's always the Flatliners.


Can anyone help me with the guilt I feel? I will be tricking her into leaving her home, and bringing her to a memory care community.
How can this day be here, after all these years?
I am scared and nervous, for her, for me.
The difference between living in your own independent home and being in a public facility with lots of people is huge.
I feel like I have no right to do this to her, but I can't keep sacrificing myself forever.
I feel that I am betraying her trust.
She took care of me and now I am imprisoning her.
It's actually a very nice place, and I have researched this for years.
However, I am still nervous.
First let me applaud all of you for being willing to take care of your parents, Aunts, or other family members. So many children just don't.
Others drop them off at nursing facilities never to be seen again. Those are the people who should have guilt but don't.
As for you all, you have researched the care facilities and have reasoned these are the best places for the care the aged family member needs. It will be safer for them and you are choosing this out of LOVE for them, not out of a sense of wanting to get rid of them.
You will also be going there to visit and ensure the facility is taking care of them as they promised to do and as you are paying them to do. Yes it is a hard decision, but a necessary one. And as for "how could I do this to my Mom because she took care of me?" YOU ARE taking care of her too.
It is different because she was raising you as her child, was young, healthy, and vibrant. You cannot raise the elderly. Your job is to ensure her safety (she did that for you), ensure she eats properly (she did that for you), ensure she gets bathed (she did that for you when you couldn't for yourself) and dressed and clean clothes, etc.
All these things you are making sure she has and is taken care of - you are making this happen. There is nothing to feel guilty about.
You are making the best decision to have her with you for more time and to be able to love her longer. There should be no guilt in that. Yes it is a tough decision. While you know how difficult it is for you to make this decision for your Mom.
Go ahead and let your children know what you want when you reach this phase of your life, so they don't have to make the decision and feel the guilt you are now feeling. And the other person is correct. We are all going to be okay. As long as your Mom knows you Love her - that is all that truly matters. God Bless!
It is something I am looking at as a safety issue for my aunt. She has been mistrustful of me since day one two years ago.
I basically abandoned my husband to look after my aunt. She has no kids, so it fell in my lap...but the many cousins who did nothing and continue to do nothing add to the drama by helping her second guess her medicines, money, and even furniture in her home.
It makes no sense, and is now understand why I left the way I did, and plan doing exactly that when the opportunity presents itself.
She has an annuity, so she can live in a decent place for a while, and we log the farm, that's another year, after that, the furniture and antiques...eventually, if she lives long enough...the land...and the family can go piss up a rope for all I care.
I would keep her at home if she would just stay off the stairs and use her walker, but no...and she sneaks to do forbidden things like a little kid...but her spinal fractures and dementia make this a very dangerous game. So yes, a memory care home it is!
We are about to do the same for my mom. Dementia caretaking is a 24/7 job. I am not equipped emotionally, physically, or financially to take her into my home.
I do not feel guilty having to move Mom. She will be safe and looked after. We will have peace of mind that someone will see that she eats and drinks (she will not do it at home if no one makes her).
If she falls - there will be someone right away to help her. She won't lay for hours until one of us comes over. She will have people around her even if she wont interact at first.
I hope you can find your peace with this. It is hard, but it is necessary. We will all be okay.


I think that the saying "Children Learn What They Live" is an overused cliché that has lost its importance. But that is the key. Children can be exposed to media and experiences outside the home, but it is what they experience in their home, what they are exposed to in their immediate family, that is going to have the greatest impact on their learning responsibility and developing a conscience.
The focus of my studies and work has been children with Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders (FASD). So before we apply the "children learn what they live" principle to all children, we need to look first at the child's ability to learn, to remember, to control their own behavior. In children with FASD this ability is compromised by damage to the brain, particularly the frontal lobes that control executive functions. (See explanation on my web site: http://www.come-over.to/FAS/FASbrain.htm) The child with FASD has problems in three areas: memory, impulse control, and judgment. Even though the child with FASD has been taught the rules and might understand the difference between right and wrong, the information they learn may not be retrieved from their memory when they need it. Or they may remember but just act on impulse without really thinking first. Or they might remember the rule, stop and think about the consequences, but do it anyway - that's the poor judgment, where they cannot weigh the risk of breaking the rule against the wisdom of doing the right thing. These are all brain functions that are not working properly. The brain may function well in one of those three areas at one time, and not in any of those areas at another time. If a child breaks the same rules over and over, or displays the same behavior problems again and again, due to brain dysfunction, how can we hold that child accountable? Is the child truly able to learn responsibility.
You may have read my article on conscience development in the child with FASD. (http://www.come-over.to/FAS/conscience.htm) If the child knows what is right and wrong, but cannot act accordingly because of a stunted social development and no impulse control and poor judgment, is it right to expect the child of 12 to function as if he/she had a working brain and a mature conscience?
For children with FASD, there are two very important things to remember. They learn by imitating the behavior of others. This means mom and dad and siblings. And later they imitate the behavior of their classmates, neighbors, and TV or movie characters. It is extremely important that these children have healthy role models. Parents have to be very careful about what behaviors they are teaching their children through their own actions. Once children with FASD learn a behavior, a mode of reacting to others (pushing, hitting, yelling, etc.), it is extremely hard for them to unlearn that behavior and relearn new, healthy behaviors.
The other thing to remember is that even though parents are very careful to teach their children healthy behaviors by example, children will still imitate unhealthy behaviors, if they have the opportunity. And since the conscience is not working properly, they will need an "external conscience" in place - the presence of mom or dad or teacher or mentor of some kind, a person recognized as an authority, a Jiminy Cricket. They are somewhat like Pinocchio - innocent, gullible, vulnerable, impressionable, immature, so the Jiminy Cricket analogy is one that fits, only the child with FASD will need that external conscience even when they become adults. That is why supervision for these kids/adults is so important, because their conscience just doesn't work right all the time.
My son John is 25 years old and has full FAS. John requires close supervision at all times. I cannot leave him at home alone for 15 minutes while I run to the store, or he may make a phone call to someone and say something inappropriate that might be construed as sexual harassment, or he might pay a visit to the neighbors and get into trouble, or he might set the house on fire, etc. He cannot be left in public alone either, because he cannot determine when he is being socially or sexually inappropriate, or he may have an idea that he is and not be able to stop himself from making unwanted advances. Does he have a conscience? Yes, but it just doesn't work right all the time. Is he responsible? Yes, he wants to be a good person, he chooses not to offend or hurt anyone, he wants very much to do the right thing, but he just can't, not all the time, not consistently. At any given time, he may think and act like a 25-year-old man or like a 5-year-old boy in a 25-year-old man's body. Currently he lives at home with me, and wherever I go, he goes along with me, and where he goes, he has me accompany him. I am constantly cuing him about rules he forgets, about when behavior is inappropriate, when he forgets manners, when he is about to engage in behavior that borders on wrong, and he may not have a clue. Just call me Jiminy Cricket.
At some point in the future, John will live in a group home placement with 24/7 supervision. He is one of the lucky ones who qualify for services. Most individuals with FASD do not qualify for services, and are at high risk of getting into trouble with the law because of behavior that they cannot control due to brain dysfunction.
I think it is important to take a good look at behaviors of children with FASD, because it is believed that one out of 100 kids now are born with significant alcohol effects, but only 10% of these kids are recognized as having alcohol effects, the rest are just seen as "bad kids" or as "behavior problems." Also, there may be many kids and adults struggling with their behaviors due to subtle effects from minimal damage from prenatal exposure to alcohol. Think of this: More than 50% of women of childbearing age drink. Most pregnancies are unplanned. Damage to the developing brain takes place during the entire pregnancy, including the first month or two that the woman may not even know she is pregnant. There are lots of people walking around with mild effects who have difficulties controlling their behavior and don't know why.
People with FASD have brains that function in ways similar to those of people who are "normal" but inebriated - looser inhibitions, poor judgment, lack of impulse control, etc. People who have had more than a few drinks will act in ways that are not responsible (drive while inebriated, engage in risky sexual behavior, forget to use contraception, break laws, engage in abusive behavior, neglect children or duties, forget commitments, be unfaithful, etc.). When inebriated, the person who has a working conscience will not be able to rely on their conscience, because it will have been shut down by the alcohol's suppressing the executive functions of the frontal lobes. Children and adults with FASD are imprisoned with this brain dysfunction by no choice of their own. Healthy unaffected adults have a choice to drink or not, but many choose to drink and deny that it has adverse effects on their ability to act in a responsible manner.
If we eliminated alcohol effects, we would see children with greater ability to learn to be responsible, with greater capacity to develop a healthy conscience. We would see fewer behavior problems in children, lower drop-out rate in schools, lower rate of crime, fewer incidents of abuse of alcohol and other drugs, fewer unwanted pregnancies, lower suicide rate, etc. But that won't happen until we recognize alcohol as a major problem in our society. If we recognized alcohol as a drug that has detrimental effects, we might have an easier time helping our children grow into responsible adults with a healthy conscience.


Does mixing tea cancels out the effects of each teas?!
Question: Does mixing tea cancels out the effects of each teas?
In a supermarket, I've purchased a bottle of tea, which was a refrigerated mixture of 11 types of teas. Each teas have different benefits for the human body, and green tea was one of the mixtures. The tea I've purchased does not contain any artificial ingredients such as sugar, or honey.
Does mixed tea have more benefits, or does it cancels out all of the benefits of each tea?
Well first of all sugar and honey are not artificial ingredients. Even processed sugar which has been bleached and therefore has lost much of it fiber content and beneficial sides of it still isn't artificial.
Usually when the mix different teas or juices it is designed to give you multiple benefits. They won't combine things whose benefits will cancel each other out. They may add one thing to help make up for something that another does that isn't' beneficial. For example caffeine depletes the body of B vitamins, calcium, and potassium. So they may add juice or even the supplements themselves to make up for it.
That being said though you may be better off getting organic juices and teas yourself and making something that you know you will like. Most store bought item, especially those that add nutrients to make healthier use the cheapest things they can get a hold of which often mean they wont' do what they are intended for. Most companies just want to cash in on the growing health consciousness of the consumer but rely on their ignorance to keep making money.
I don't really think anything in a bottle is healthier than anything you can brew at home. I'm sure in the oils of the tea, which you would see if you ever drank any fresh brewed, there are compounds you won't find in fruits or vegetables or not in the same concentrations. Tea is healthy go ahead and brew some for yourself.
More likely it has the same benefits as one type of tea. I doubt that there is enough of any single tea to give you the full benefits of the single tea. Just enjoy it. Tea doesn't have anywhere near the nutrients of fresh fruits and vegetables.


This year it is 500 years since Martin Luther affixed his theses to a church door. The reformation, or rather maybe the printing press, changed society and beget wars. What will happen when the Internet changes how we get and disseminate information?
Let's first look at what similarities and differences exist between the effect of the printing press on society and the Internet's effect on society.
With regards to religion, Protestantism supplanted a hierarchical system of clergy, a body of people with relationships between them, with the "leaf nodes" being the common church goers. People lived in kingdoms, principalities and similar, where power was effectively shared between the king or other leader, and the church.
With Lutheranism the king could get rid of the power of the Roman church, and with the direct relationship between scripture and the believer, there was a new concept of identity and self, which both factors may have facilitated the nation state (see Fukuyama: Political Consequences of the Protestant Reformation, Part I , Part II ).
One may even argue that it influenced Catholic France through among other factors the French revolution, and led to Napoleons' Grande Armée which size dwarfed any other armies in Europe, People where energized to fight not for the church, but for other things such as universal ideas and the nation of France. These ideas later turned into the nation state as a war machine, where a certain loyalty with and fealty to the church and a willingness for sacrifice, had been outcompeted by having the same feelings towards the nation state instead.
The printing press led to a more direct relationship between the reader and a rich selection of standardized, mass-produced messages. Radio and television would later severely limit the selection of messages and hence funnel people's thinking into narrower tracks, and in some ways veer closer to a similar grip as that of the medieval Catholic Church, but in the service of the state. Radio may have been instrumental to totalitarianism.
Let's here exclude texts that were of immediate practical use such as on engineering or agriculture, and in doing so I believe the second factor becomes of most importance. Not so that the first factor, the quality of the work is unimportant, but rather that its quality should be viewed in its normative power for how people interact, which is a combination of the accessibility and the power of its ideas.
A thorough examination of the impact of Protestant ideas is beyond the scope of this text, mainly because I do not have the overview of it, but let's just settle for that the ideas did have an enormous impact and not bother too much about in what ways. Then we are left with the analysis that these ideas shaped the interactions between people in new patterns. In Fukuyama's texts he makes a difference between Lutheranism which tended to convert whole countries and principalities top-down, and Calvinism which spread more inconspicuously throughout the fabric of society.
Let's now look at the Internet. Just as with the printing press, a discourse gets delivered to your very own eyes, and you are required to believe in the text rather than to be commanded or prodded into believing in something, as was more the ways of the Catholic Church. And maybe it is this impossibility of commanding somebody to comply to the tenets of a text, where the concept of predestination is conceived.
Why would one embrace a discourse from a book or from the Internet?
The Internet provides both reasons. The first one is prevalent in spades, and is what we refer to as the "filter bubble". The second one is seen in crypto currencies, which are creatures wholly dependent on the Internet and impossible to fathom without it, where a coin's success is completely dependent on other people's valuation of it.
The first reason, to confirm and complete already held views, can be a bit dangerous insofar that it may lead people into believing that they are more powerful in the world than they are, and that their peers are people that are actually surrounding them, instead of being spread out on the Internet. And of course it can nurture parochial views that are incompatible with interaction with other people holding different views. Some of these bubble communities — such as the flat earthers — have their fair share of people in them who cannot function in society in a productive way, which implies they are not locii of tremendous world-changing power.
The big effect of the Internet bubbles right now is in disinformation, that people do not know what facts to believe in. Partly this is due to some of the facts previously held as true were merely articles of belief meant to function as a glue in society.
When this glue comes undone, we may veer more towards anarchy or libertarianism. Crypto currencies can here be seen as a part of the new glue to hold society together, but that power also means that they may become brutal forces of change. The danger of disinformation on the other hand lies mainly in having difficulty to respond to nation states less affected by the chaos of the Internet, mainly Russia and to some extent China. However those countries may suffer much more gravely once the effects of the Internet hits them. As the entrepreneur Naval Ravikant said, China's monetary policy (to shut out crypto currencies) now boils down to its firewall policies.
The world completely went off the gold standard in the 1970s, and the flaws of "fiat" currencies (as currencies not backed by gold or similar are called) have been amplified by the super speed of computers, where the life cycle is accelerated by operations and communications close to the speed of light and the speed of logic gates. In fact, the fiat monetary system and its accompanying belief system can be seen as the original computer & network-driven filter bubble.
Fiat currencies are connected to the nation state, since they get their value from being the unit for paying taxes and are defended by the monopoly of violence of the nation state. If we assume the nation state will be weakened by the Internet and by crypto currencies, fiat currencies will also be weakened (directly so by crypto currencies obviously). Incidentally the Euro fiat currency has put itself into a strange predicament by being used in a geographic area without the rigor of the nation state.


To save a fraction of this review's readers some time, I'd like to start off with one of this review's conclusions: in general, I wouldn't recommend Welcome to Japari Park to the viewer who is not already in some way fond of Kemono Friends. If you *are* in some way fond of Kemono Friends already, please continue reading.
The Bottom Line: If you like Kemono Friends, it would be worth watching Welcome to Japari Park, going into it with the knowledge that Welcome to Japari Park is in some way a prequel to the 2017 Kemono Friends anime, albeit possibly a chronologically distant one. The two series are related, and Welcome to Japari Park provides the Kemono Friends fan with an easy and accessible look at the Kemono Friends story featured in the original mobile game through a series of shorts which is as faithful to the source material as a series of shorts can possibly be.
Welcome to Japari Park is a brisk look, by means of a series of animated shorts, at the original story of Kemono Friends, the one portrayed in the mobile game published by Nexon, whose service ran from March 2015 to December 2016. Given this background, it's only natural that the present state of the world of Kemono Friends portrayed here is different from the present state of the world of Kemono Friends as portrayed in the 2017 anime. Despite these significant differences, the anime and the game (and thus, the Welcome to Japari Park shorts) occur on the same continuum of events, with the game preceding the anime at some point in the distant past.
The Kemono Friends anime references the game at various points throughout its run, and having knowledge of the world's history can only enhance one's appreciation of the world of Kemono Friends. This history is provided in bite-size portions in Welcome to Japari Park, and thus, Welcome to Japari Park is the most accessible introduction to what happened in Japari Park before the anime.
Because Welcome to Japari Park's purpose is to recap the story of the original Nexon game for newer audiences (an expressly stated purpose both in the real world and in-universe), it is essential to evaluate it according to its effectiveness in covering the original material. Second, because Welcome to Japari Park is so different from the 2017 Kemono Friends anime, it is also essential to point out why certain more noticeable differences exist (e.g. voice actress and character personality differences). In addition to source material-independent evaluations of the presentation of Welcome to Japari Park, the pursuit of these two goals in this review is designed to equip the reader to make the decision to watch or skip Welcome to Japari Park based on an informed knowledge of how Welcome to Japari Park fits in the Kemono Friends landscape.
Because no story summary was posted to the series page at the time of the writing of this review, I provide a brief two-line summary here: Welcome to Japari Park recounts the story of the Park Director, the Park Guide Mirai, Serval, and their Friends in their quest to save Japari Park from a great danger. Welcome to Japari Park is framed as a documentary made by Mirai, Serval, and several other Friends, meant to inform future visitors to Japari Park of its history and the Park Director's legacy.
Welcome to Japari Park recaps the story of the original Nexon mobile game in the form of 4-6 minute shorts. The shorts tell a coherent story, with each episode picking up where the previous episode left off, usually literally, as the episodes frequently end in cliffhangers. The story is fairly standard fare for a mobile game. Encounter enemies, beat them, run into some mystery, meet new people, encounter more enemies, beat them, find out something new, meet more new people, help them, they join your party, you move on to the next area, etc. This progression is reflected in the story as presented in Welcome to Japari Park.
As I have read the original source material from the Kemono Friends mobile game, I can say confidently that the story as presented in Welcome to Japari Park is an extremely faithful reproduction of the story presented in the mobile game, with the exception of any less-than-main-pointish material which was cut out due to the time constraints of a 4-6 minute short. Any Kemono Friends fan wanting to learn about the history of the world of Kemono Friends can find an easy and brief, but nonetheless accurate and faithful, entry point to this history in Welcome to Japari Park.
My rating of 8 comes from just about average plot (6) + accurate and faithful reproduction of the original story (2).
Welcome to Japari Park is presented with a somewhat deformed art style which accurately reproduces and builds on the original character designs. The main format of presentation is Live2D-like models with a generally fixed appearance but whose expressions and body/body part positions can be changed, all set to mostly static backgrounds. In this respect, it fits in with one of several fairly typical presentations for animated shorts.
Occasionally, mostly in "action"-type scenes, the mode of presentation switches to something more akin to traditional drawing, allowing for very short segments of slow frame-by-frame animation.
The most notable point of Welcome to Japari Park's art is the fact that all of its character models are well-made replications of the mobile game's art, and all character positions are thus ultimately based on this original art.
My rating of 7 comes from typical animation style for an animated short (6) + accurate and faithful reproduction of the original art style (1).
One of the most striking features of Welcome to Japari Park is that the voice actresses featured in the short are notably different from the voice actresses featured in the 2017 anime. This is for good reason: the mobile game features a different generation of Friends who were all voiced by different voice actresses. As of episode 6, without exception, all of the characters featured so far are voiced by the very same voice actresses who voiced them in the mobile game. At this point, all evidence suggests that subsequently introduced Friends will also be voiced by their original voice actresses.
While the original mobile game was generally not voiced except in Friend introductions and battle sequences, a comparison of the voices used in the mobile game and in Welcome to Japari Park reveals that the voice actresses are faithful in their voice portrayal of their roles across the two media.
In terms of the background music, Welcome to Japari Park primarily uses background music tracks that were featured in the 2017 anime. Their application to Welcome to Japari Park is overall appropriate and generally well-done and serves as a way to bridge viewers to this older story content by way of more familiar, musical content.
My rating of 9 comes from having the original mobile game voice actresses to reprise their roles in Welcome to Japari Park (5) + the faithfulness of voice portrayal (2) + the decision to use the newer, more popular soundtrack to "modernize" older material (2).
Overall, Welcome to Japari Park has a fairly typical roster of characters for Japanese media, and the common tropes of both main characters and the supporting cast can be found here. It's impossible to comment on characterization within the shorts at this point, as only 6 episodes have been released in what's likely to be a rather long series of shorts. There isn't really much more to say about this as a result.
That said, there are a few things worth pointing out. First, the characters differ from the characters in the 2017 anime again for the simple reason that the characters portrayed in Welcome to Japari Park belong to a different generation of Friends. Welcome to Japari Park portrays these characters from the mobile game faithfully.
Second, because Welcome to Japari Park is a recap of previously released material, by necessity some narration is involved, generally by Mirai or other featured Friends and usually at the beginnings of episodes. There is also a credited "narrator" in each episode who is responsible for delivering information about every episode's featured Friend. As of episode 6, the informational narrator was Ozaki Yuka (Serval in the 2017 anime) for episodes 1 through 4 and Motomiya Kana (Fennec in the 2017 anime) for episodes 5 and 6. It is expected that the role of the informational narrator will continue to be filled by voice actresses involved in the 2017 anime.
Third, although unseen and unheard, the Park Director is present in the vast majority of documentary scenes (that is, scenes that aren't the intro and outro of every episode). Their presence is signaled by a mention early in the series and several conversations directed to no one in particular or which otherwise seem odd without assuming the presence of the unseen and unheard Park Director. That said, this isn't really an assumption, as the Park Director is an unseen, unheard silent protagonist in the original game. Because this series recaps the Park Director's story with the other characters, it is important to be aware of their presence, even if Crunchyroll's subs indicate that the subbers are unaware of this presence.
My rating of 7 comes from the typical character roster (6) + character portrayal that is faithful to the source material (1).
I really enjoy the original source material. I also really enjoy Welcome to Japari Park. As a result, I would rewatch the series and already have rewatched the already released episodes several times. It has, in my opinion, fairly good rewatchability for someone who is already into the series, mainly from enjoying watching the characters portrayed.
Based on what I've seen so far in the reaction toward the shorts, enjoyment of Welcome to Japari Park appears to be influenced mostly by three major factors. The first major factor is, of course, how compelling the story and the presentation are. As I've noted above, Welcome to Japari Park is just about average in many respects, with a typical mobile game-type story, typical animated short art, and typical character roster, and this may affect the viewer's willingness to watch or rewatch Welcome to Japari Park and, naturally, their enjoyment of the series. The second major factor is the viewer's knowledge of the history of Kemono Friends and the purpose of Welcome to Japari Park. The more a viewer knows that the anime does not stand alone in the franchise, instead building upon previously established history in the form of the original story, combined with the knowledge that Welcome to Japari Park is designed to introduce the viewer to that history, the more likely that viewer will enjoy watching the series. The third major factor is a willingness to learn about the world and lore of Kemono Friends. The more curious a viewer is to learn more about the world of Kemono Friends, the more likely that viewer will enjoy watching the series.
The second two factors are, in my opinion, the more important factors for the Kemono Friends fan in deciding to watch Welcome to Japari Park. While the quality of the series' content might be just about average for the average viewer, Welcome to Japari Park is a treasure trove of lore (or at least a treasure trove of leads and clues to deeper lore) for the Kemono Friends fan curious about the world of Kemono Friends. As I said at the beginning of the review, generally speaking, I wouldn't recommend Welcome to Japari Park to someone who doesn't already like Kemono Friends.
The Bottom Line, again: If you like Kemono Friends, it would be worth watching Welcome to Japari Park, going into it with the knowledge that Welcome to Japari Park is in some way a prequel to the 2017 Kemono Friends anime, albeit possibly a chronologically distant one. The two series are related, and Welcome to Japari Park provides the Kemono Friends fan with an easy and accessible look at the Kemono Friends story featured in the original mobile game through a series of shorts which is as faithful to the source material as a series of shorts can possibly be.


Telltale Games announced that the second episode for Batman: The Telltale Series is going live a lot sooner than you think. In fact, you'll be able to get your first taste of the episode during the weekend PAX West event in Seattle, Washington.
A press release was sent out indicating that during a special Crowd Play event this weekend at PAX West, gamers will get their first look at Batman: The Telltale Series' second episode, between September 2nd and September 5th. After that you'll have to wait a while to get your hands on the episode, but you can pick up a physical copy from retailers for the Xbox One, PS4 and PC starting September 13th, which contains a special season pass disc for all five episodes for this season's Batman: The Telltale Series. Those living in Europe will also be able to get their hands on the physical disc starting September 16th, just a few days after it launches in North America.
Following the season pass being made available at retailers on September 13th, Telltale will allow gamers to digitally download the standalone version of the second episode for PC, PS4 and Xbox One starting September 20th. The game will be available from the Steam store, the PlayStation Network, the Xbox Store and Telltale's storefront for digital distribution.
Unfortunately for gamers who have other systems that are not the PS4, Xbox One or PC, there is no definitive release date on when the second episode will be available. They do announce that sometime during the month of September they'll announce the release dates for Batman: The Telltale Series on mobile devices and older home consoles.
I'm sure you're curious what the second episode is actually about? It's entitled "Children of Arkham" and picks up where the last episode left off. The first episode was pretty action-packed, giving gamers a very different kind of Telltale title where the combat was fast and furious and there were even some options in how to plan out Batman's attacks ahead of him executing them, which seemed to fit in line with Batman's tactical prowess.
The visual art-style of the game has centered around Telltale's attempts to bring a "comic book to life". The outlined ink look gels well with Telltale's take on the Batman, which seems to be a little bit of a mix of "Batman: Year One", Rocksteady's Batman: Arkham series and its own take on the iconic hero. One thing that definitely stands out with this rendition of the character is that Telltale isn't afraid to get very, very violent. Players even get to choose some segments that determine just how far Batman goes when it comes to said violence.
As mentioned, you can look to get in some play time for the second episode of Batman: The Telltale Series at PAX West if you're attending the event this weekend. After that, you can get the game and the rest of the episodes from the season pass disc at retailers starting September 13th, or you can get your hands on the second episode as a standalone entry starting September 20th.


Thanks to some problematic comments by a prominent evangelical preacher about the Old Testament, much has been said lately about how we as Christians should think about it. I don't intend to retread all that ground. However, it does seem like a good time to discuss how we think about the relationship of the two testaments in Scripture. To get there, though, we first need to discuss something I am only slightly less passionate about: plot twists in books and movies.
The plot twist is a favorite modern narrative device. The first two acts seem to be unfolding in a predictable direction and then, as the third act opens or climaxes, something unexpected happens. Our preconceptions are upended and the story becomes something different than we thought. The best plot twists are powerful and memorable. The worst leave me raging and reaching for the remote (as my wife will gladly attest). They can leave us feeling inspired or cheated. Which leads to my core question - what makes the difference between a good and a bad plot twist? Let me suggest two elements.
First, good plot twists fit with what came before. They are surprising, but it is a kind of surprise that is followed by illumination. Our mind runs back over the story up to this point and it all makes sense. Details we overlooked, plot threads that didn't quite fit - suddenly they all flow together. We recognize the hints and see how the development was anticipated even if we didn't catch them at the time. Bad plot twists, meanwhile, are arbitrary and appear from nowhere. It is impossible to predict them. They don't cause us to reflect on what came before but to throw it out the window. They make the earlier story pointless. Their purpose isn't to surprise us but to trick us.
Second, good plot twists continue what came before, just in a new form. The events and character development of the first two acts make the twist more meaningful. They serve to illuminate it. The arc of the story isn't interrupted but enhanced. Done poorly, the narrative turn instead invalidates what came before. Nothing in the first two acts mattered; the third act becomes something entirely new. Which is again frustrating because it makes us wonder what the first two acts were for. It invalidates them rather than building on their foundation.
What does this have to do with the Old Testament? I would suggest that Jesus stands in Scripture as a plot twist. Yes, the story changes in the New Testament era. Jesus was in a sense unexpected - the struggle of many of His contemporaries to know what to do with Him is a witness to how things were changing. All of this means that Christians don't read the Old Testament in quite the same way as the New. There are things that have changed between then and now.
However, many modern Christians treat Jesus as a bad plot twist. He is something completely new, something nobody could have seen coming. He represents not a development in the story but a different story entirely. The first two acts are discarded or seen as only applying to one specific ethnic group while we are part of this separate act of God.
The problem with this is the problem with all such poorly executed narrative moves - it essentially invalidates what came before. The God of the Old Testament is left as seemingly separate from the God of the New. And what starts off as "separate" easily transitions into "opposed to," which was the heresy of Marcion, concluding that the Old Testament God was, in fact, the devil.
While Jesus represents a change in the story, it is the sort of change we see in the best plot twists. In the first place, Jesus fits with the Old Testament. His insistence was that He came not to overturn what came before but to fulfill it (Matthew 5:17-20). Indeed, Jesus says that the threads of the Old Testament all lead to Him (Luke 24:25-27). This doesn't mean that the connection was always obvious. A good twist makes us reimagine what different parts of the story mean. Elements that seemed insignificant might suddenly become crucial. However, there is a difference between reimagining and discarding. Everything still fits together; it's just that having this new piece of the puzzle makes us realize some of the other pieces need to be rearranged.
More than that, Jesus continues the Old Testament. The division we make between the two often comes not from how the New Testament views itself but how we view ancient Judaism - as something foreign and other. This stands in contrast to early Christians like Paul who saw Old Testament Israel as the still-flourishing tree and Gentile believers as ingrafted branches connected to this tree (Romans 11:16-18). Indeed, the whole New Testament takes pains to stress it is built on the foundation of what came before. Just look at this visualization of the New Testament's use of the Old. When Jesus or Peter or Paul quote the Law and the Prophets, it is with the goal of showing how they are building on them. For the third act to make sense, they insist, you have to understand the story that came before.
This leads to one great danger of disconnecting the Old and New Testaments. The more we remove the foundation of what came before, the more we tend to put our own foundation in its place, one defined by our culture or preferences rather than God. To change the analogy slightly - if you are reading an academic book, one of the things that happens early on is the "definition of terms." Anyone involved in technical discussions knows that words can be used in different ways. It is crucial, therefore, for a work to define how it means to be read.
The Old Testament provides the definitions for the new. When we hear that Jesus is a King or the Christ (a word that means "Messiah"), that God is loving or holy, that we are called to repentance or obedience - all of this assumes we have learned what those words mean by what came before. The New Testament might expand or develop some of those definitions, but it doesn't abandon or overturn them.
An example might help illustrate how this works. It is common for people to note that the New Testament describes God as loving and then use this to object to certain behaviors of the Old Testament God. However, the Old Testament also insists that God is loving, and it is this Old Testament idea of love that informs the New. If we reject the Old Testament's conception of love, we have to get our idea of love from somewhere else - from television, from personal preference, or from the spirit of the age. This means that we are no longer interpreting our lives via Scripture but instead interpreting Scripture via our lives. It is we who have authority over God's Word, not the other way around.
None of which means there aren't differences or things that are difficult to understand. The plot has turned in some significant ways. However, these differences make sense within the unity of the two testaments. For instance, the Old Testament contains certain laws the church does not see as binding on New Testament believers. Why? The Old Testament constantly anticipates that God's work in Israel will culminate in the Gentiles being gathered in (Genesis 12:1-3, Psalm 86:9, Isaiah 56:6-8, Malachi 1:11, many others). In the New Testament this begins to happen, and as this anticipation becomes reality, it means that parts of the Old Testament law aimed at distinguishing Israel from the surrounding nations no longer apply.
We can see this happening in Acts 10, where Peter is invited to meet with Gentiles who want to convert to Christianity. God gives him a vision which shows him that the laws about clean and unclean food are no longer binding, but this vision exists in a broader context - the Gentiles are no longer the "unclean" but are being gathered in, and so the laws meant to mark Israel as separate from their uncleanness no longer apply either. There is a change, but this change makes sense within the logic of the story, not apart from it.
All of which is to say that the two testaments are interdependent. We must read each in light of the other. The error of many in our world is to think that the New Testament makes sense without the Old. Yet this is to make God a poor storyteller indeed. In truth we are in the same story as Abraham and Moses and David. The plot has developed, but to understand it requires everything that came before.


How does one even know if a family ever experienced a stillborn birth, or death of a small child between censuses, if the child never appeared in a census to begin with? Just curious, as I came across some stillborn record births and it occurred to me that I wouldn't even look at these if I never had any reason to believe there was such a birth.
CENSUS RECORDS PLACE OUR ANCESTORS in a specific place at a specific time, so we are then able to look for OTHER RECORDS IN THAT SPECIFIC PLACE that have survived from the time period our ancestors lived.
-- the RESEARCH OUTLINE from http://www.familysearch.org/Eng/Search/RG/frameset_rhelps.aspfor the state or country where the ancestors lived. Expect to find a listing of the types of vital records and the dates when they began to be kept.
-- the HANDYBOOK FOR GENEALOGISTS mentioned often in ol' Myrt's columns, which list specific counties in each state and when records began to be kept, including which have been known to survive.
-- USGenWeb - Visit http://www.USGenWeb.com to see what is known about surviving records by other experienced researchers for those areas where your ancestors once lived.
-- STATE OR TERRITORIAL CENSUS - Find out about these at USGenWeb or in the HANDYBOOK.
-- The (FHL) FAMILY HISTORY LIBRARY CATALOG at http://www.familysearch.orgBe sure to look for each locality at the county (or town level in New England) in the appropriate states. Remember the microfilm of public vital records is a priority, and the FHL has records from over 80 countries throughout the world. Once you find a likely microfilm, print out the page, and take it with you to your local LDS Family History Center to order the microfilm. It will cost about $5.50 and will arrive in a few weeks. Good luck!
I agree with you that it is important to document "complete" families, not just the one son or daughter of our direct lineage. I certainly would not wish to exclude a sibling from a family unit merely because he didn't live the ten years between enumerations.


I contacted an invention development company about a general idea for a new product. Shortly afterward through a simple Google search I found a product very similar to my idea being sold on internet.
When I informed the invention development company about this they advised me to go ahead with the development because the product in question is being sold in the UK only and it appears without a patent of any kind, whereas my market would be in the US (when I get a provisional patent). Also, they could improve on the product.
Is this good advice or the is the company looking out for their own interests at my expense?
1) I think that the company may be looking out for their own interests.
I say this because you led their list of reasons to proceed with (1) the invention is only made in the UK, and (2) it's not already patented - those are not valid reasons to proceed. The last reason, they can improve the invention (i.e., design around the prior art), is the only valid reason to proceed and seems almost like an afterthought. 35 U.S.C. 102(a) gives conditions for patentability with respect to novelty and the prior art, and you are not entitled to a patent if the claimed invention is described in a printed publication, in public use, on sale, or otherwise already available to the public.
2) If you're unsure whether the UK product is the same as yours, the invention development company should be able to tell you what they think you could claim as your invention, and what the difference is between your claimed invention and the UK product. New inventors frequently do not realize how subtle a difference can be and still distinguish over the prior art. You would have to decide whether this difference is worth pursuing in a patent application.
I doubt the invention development company will do this for free. I wouldn't - it's more work than most people realize.
3) For the invention development company to really tell you whether you should proceed, you should get a prior art search done. The company has no way of knowing whether your idea is patentable without searching the prior art.
Without the prior art search, you're really just hoping that no one else has had your idea already. A full patent application costs much more than the basic prior art search; you have to decide whether do an art search. Since a simple Google search turned up a similar product, I would be reluctant to proceed without any prior art search, but that's your call.
A full patentability analysis is expensive; I doubt you are willing to pay the company to do such a thing. So, what you usually get (for a "knock-out" prior art search costing $500 to $1000) is a survey of the state of the art to give you an idea of what's out there - this will not be a guarantee that your invention doesn't exist already.
Alternatively, you can do a prior art search yourself. First, I would read a book like "Patent It Yourself" by David Pressman, and then do some digging to see what you can find out there.
Any way you do the search, the invention development company will not study the prior art and advise you for free. Even if they contract out the art search (which almost all firms do), reviewing the results is time consuming.
4) Be wary if your invention development company only prepares provisional applications. A provisional patent application is not a patent application and will never become a patent - it automatically dies after a year and it confers no patent rights per se. You will have to file a non-provisional patent application claiming priority to the provisional patent application to actually try to get a patent. I don't trust provisional-patent-only firms - I think many are shady and trying to take advantage of the little guys.
I advise all independent inventors to read books like "Patent It Yourself" by David Pressman in order to orient yourself to the patent process. You can probably get understandable patent books from your local library. It is quite easy to pay a lot of money for a worthless patent; a knowledgeable inventor will get much more value for his or her money.
Aldo makes good points ... HOWEVER ... I would be very careful condemning the Invention Development Company out of hand. It is true that many are unethical. It is equally true that they may be giving you sound advice, and it is difficult to understand what they are saying.
For example you could still have an invention, it just would not be the ENTIRETY of what you regard as your 'invention'. Think about smartphones - much innovation is still occurring in that space. Say Apple has a new invention with a new type of gesture-recognition and receives a patent and incorporates it into the iPhone 7. The invention is patentable. The invention is in the iPhone 7. The invention is NOT the iPhone 7. Therefore, it is POSSIBLE that you may have a patentable invention embedded in your proposed product.
Furthermore, being able to successfully make and sell a product is not corollary with patentability. A myriad of individuals and companies make good livings making and selling furniture without ever looking at a patent in their life.
That said, do be careful, as even if not unethical, the invention development company is making their money off of you developing an invention, not abandoning it! I would especially be cautious of large up-front fees coupled with over-optimistic predictions. The more they share with you the potential pitfalls without you having to drag it out of them, the more trustworthy they would seem.
Was it good advice? Yes, if: your goal is to move forward in the US no matter what other people are doing elsewhere. No, if: your goal was to obtain worldwide rights and try to license your rights or if you only want to move forward yourself if no one else is in the same business arena. As others have mentioned, your goals and the invention development company's goals may not be aligned.

French Researchers: Hitler Really Did Die In The Bunker In 1945 : The Two-Way Conspiracy theories have abounded for years about the fate of the Fuhrer, ranging from his escape to Argentina aboard a German U-boat to living out his days at a secret Nazi moon base.
This is one of the last pictures taken of Adolf Hitler in his bunker in Berlin in 1945 as he shakes hands with General Field Marshal Ferdinand Schoerner.
However, the history books have not satisfied everyone. Alternative notions have abounded in the tabloid press and even in some mainstream publications — most involving the Führer's escape from Germany at the end of the war.
A team of French pathologists, publishing in the peer-reviewed European Journal of Internal Medicine, were recently allowed to study a set of teeth kept in Moscow since the end of the war.
The remains had been taken from the Führerbunker by Soviet soldiers who uncovered the site where Hitler and his small entourage of loyalists spent their final days. It was there that SS soldiers set fire to the remains of Hitler and those of his longtime mistress-turned-wife, Eva Braun.
It was the first time that researchers outside of Russia were allowed access to the teeth, which are held by Russia's intelligence service, the FSB.
The researchers explain that Hitler had notoriously bad teeth and by the time he died, at age 56, only a few of his own remained. According to Deutsche Welle, "The teeth matched descriptions provided by Hitler's dentist and revealed no trace of meat — consistent with the fact that the Führer was vegetarian."
The teeth were also readily identifiable because of "conspicuous and unusual prostheses and bridgework" described by Hitler's personal dentist, Hugo Blaschke, and his assistant, Kathe Heusermann, according to DW.
"The teeth are authentic — there is no possible doubt," lead pathologist Philippe Charlier was quoted by Agence France-Presse as saying. "Our study proves that Hitler died in 1945."
"We can stop all the conspiracy theories about Hitler," Charlier was further quoted by AFP as saying. "He did not flee to Argentina in a submarine; he is not in a hidden base in Antarctica or on the dark side of the moon."
"The Nazis' development late in the war of high-technology weapons – including the V2, an early ballistic missile, and the Me 262 jet fighter – inspired some to believe that Germany had secretly won the space race.
It was also suggested that the Nazis had made contact with UFOs and that they had made it to the Moon as early as 1942."
UFOs and moon bases aside, several prominent Nazis did escape after the war, many of them finding refuge in South America, where right-wing regimes, such as Argentina, welcomed or tolerated them.


I am trying to find an example of how to write a prediction for a Biology Lab Report.
I am trying to find an example of how to write a prediction for a Biology Lab Report. I think a prediction should be written as an if/when statement. Does anyone know of some where that I can find a lab report that includes a prediction(s)? All of the website show predictions, but after searching the pages there are not any examples only the word prediction and nothing else.
