Going Digital: February 2012
Welcome to the latest Going Digital, Manga Bookshelf's monthly feature focusing on manga available for digital viewing or download. Each month, the Manga Bookshelf bloggers review a selection of comics we've read on our computers, phones, or tablet devices, to give readers a taste of what's out there, old and new, and how well it works in digital form.
This month, we'll take a look at VIZ Media's new manga for the NOOK Color, as well as a couple of titles from JManga. Device, OS, and browser information is included with each review as appropriate, to let you know exactly how we accessed what we read.
VIZ Manga on the NOOK Color
In last September's Going Digital column, I wrote about my experience reading manga on a Kindle. The review included such sentiments as "Wow, this looks like crap," and ended with this pithy observation:
I guess paying $6 for a Kindle edition of a book I didn't like very much is better than paying $13 for same, but my advice to those considering reading manga on their Kindle is simple: "Don't."
So, when I was presented with the opportunity to check out the titles VIZ has made available for NOOK devices, I was quite eager to see how the experience would differ. As it turns out, the NOOK vastly outperforms the Kindle in all areas but one, and that one is not a deal-breaker.
The loaner model NOOK Color I received came pre-loaded with a few VIZ titles, so I can't comment on the ease of buying and downloading manga from the Barnes and Noble site, but it looks pretty straightforward to me. There's a WiFi connection on the device, so you can shop directly from the reader, as well. Books are accessible in the Library, which displays a nice gallery of color covers instead of a plain text list of titles. Simply tap the cover of your book of choice to open, and you're good to go.
The first offering I perused was volume 31 of Bleach, and when I saw its cover come up full-screen, so crisp and beautiful, I am pretty sure I uttered a "wow" aloud. The inner pages are just as sharp, with clean, white backgrounds and legible text. Navigation is easy—gently tap the right side of the screen for the next page (granted, this is a little counter-intuitive when reading manga, as normally you'd be turning to the left) and the left side for the previous page. Tap the middle and a menu pops up, where one can scroll amongst all the pages in the volume and manage bookmarks, which one sets by pressing the "+" icon in the top right of the screen, creating a little digital "dog-ear" effect on the page.
At this point, I still hadn't figured out how to zoom—I'm definitely a late adopter where technology is concerned, so there was a bit of a learning curve with touch-screen navigation—so I thought I'd check out some shoujo, which is known for its teensy asides and author-talk sections with small text. I found examples of both on a page of Absolute Boyfriend, and personally found the text legible, but once I discovered the "reverse-pinch method" of zooming in, it was a definite improvement. The screen is larger than the Kindle, so a single page looks pretty good as is. The NOOK's got an auto-rotate function, which means that the display will shift to landscape mode if you turn the device on its side. This is helpful when you want to enjoy the scope of a two-page layout from an artistic standpoint, but not really practical for reading that way, unless you want to stay zoomed in all the time.
There are only two complaints I have about the NOOK, and one is exceedingly minor. In most respects, the sensitivity of the touch screen is a good thing, but as I held the device, I somehow kept placing my thumb in such a way that caused the system to repeatedly alert me to my lack of new notifications, which was annoying. The second issue is more significant, and that is that the NOOK is pretty heavy. According to Barnes and Noble, the NOOK Color weighs 15.8 ounces, but mine (with protective cover) clocked in at 20.8 ounces, which is equal to three print volumes of manga. Obviously, this is not extremely heavy, and even the fact that the latest Kindle supposedly weighs less than six ounces could not ever induce me to recommend it over the NOOK Color where reading manga is concerned. – Michelle Smith
Morita-san Wa Mukuchi Vol. 1 | By Tae Sano | Takeshobo, Manga Life Momo | JManga.com | Windows XP, Firefox 10.0
Readers of print manga in North America will be very familiar with the type of manga we get with Morita-san. It's what's termed a '4-koma' style manga. Basically the equivalent to American comic strips such as Peanuts or Beetle Bailey, They're 4 panels, mostly vertical, with quick punchlines and gag humor. Yes, there are the occasional serious 4-koma series, but they are definitely the exception. We;ve seen the high school band series K-On!, the high school eccentrics of Azumanga Daioh, and even spin-offs of popular titles like Haruhi Suzumiya and Shugo Chara.
This series has a lot of the same types of ingredients. With the exception of a token male or two to get one-liners, the cast is almost entirely cute and female. It takes place in a typical high school. There's no real plot to speak of – we follow our heroine and her friends through the school year, being amused at their comedy antics. However, despite all of this, I found Morita-san to be quite a fun and pleasant experience. It has a very good hook. The heroine, the titular Morita, doesn't speak. Note that she *can* speak – she just never gets a good opportunity. Either she thinks too long about what to say and everyone moves on, or she gets flustered, or the timing is wrong… as such, she spends the volume as a sort of 'silent support'.
Her friends, and this is another reason I found this fun, don't really bring this up or hold it against Morita at all. It's just a quirk, like her best friend Miki's being boy-crazy, or Hana's being shy. They treat her like a good friend, and don't even mention the silence – they always ask her opinion on things and the like. And Morita herself is a likeable heroine, being nice and sweet without getting overly sappy. (Her parents help here – her mother vacillates wildly between sweet adoring wife and jealous harridan, and it's noted Morita got her reticence from her upbringing.) There's even some mild yuri tease here, involving the cool Student Council President who everyone loves, as well as an unnamed girl who keeps trying to stalk… um, strike up a conversation with Morita only to misread whatever situation is going on. If you're going to read 4-koma, it should be as fun and likeable as this. -Sean Gaffney
Hyakusho Kizoku, Vol. 1 By Hiromu Arakawa | Shinshokan, Wings | JManga.com | Mac OS 10.7.3, Chrome 17.0.963.56
As most Manga Bookshelf readers will already know, I'm a huge fan of Hiromu Arakawa's epic shounen series Fullmetal Alchemist. In fact, the series even made my personal top ten. I consider Arakawa to be a truly exceptional storyteller, so when I heard that JManga was offering something new from her, I immediately ran over to read it. I was not disappointed in the least.
From the pages of the eccentric shoujo magazine Wings, Hyakusho Kizoku is a series of humor-tinged manga essays detailing life on a Hokkaido dairy farm. Though, on the surface, Hyakusho Kizoku may seem to share little in common with a fantasy epic like Fullmetal Alchemist, fans of FMA will quickly recognize Arakawa's easy sense of humor, as well as her ability to create compelling, recognizable characters with just a few deft strokes.
The series is openly autobiographical, filled with anecdotes from Arakawa's childhood and teen years that cover everything from her father's habit of visiting the cow shed in winter wearing only his underpants, to a bit of light authorial ranting on topics like pesticides, government demands, and why Hokkaido would be better off as an independent country. And though her humor is a highlight, it's not the only way in which Arakawa shows off her strengths. One particularly haunting lesson about the fate of a sick, newborn calf had me tearing up as I read—a feat achieved mainly through just a few poignant strokes of Arakawa's pen, as she drew her own mournful, childish face and that of the unsuspecting calf.
If I sound like a hopeless fangirl, well, perhaps I am. But it's a devotion well-earned by any author who can entertain equally well with action-packed fantasy and facts about cow dung. And fortunately, JManga does their part as well, offering up a clean, readable adaptation that lets the series' conversational style shine.
While Hyakusho Kizoku may not be every FMA fan's cup of tea, it certainly is mine. Highly recommended. – Melinda Beasi

Hyakusho Kizoku looks right up my alley… Too bad JManga still isn't available here in Australia. There are a number of titles on there I'd like to check out
Travis says
I haven't read anything on a Kindle, but from what I gather, the current versions are vastly different from whichever one you had, so I wouldn't write off the entire Kindle brand based on an old version. For example, there's a huge difference between the current ipod touch and previous incarnation in that it has the "retina display" or whatever that makes everything super crisp and clear. If I had only tried to read manga on my wife's old ipod I would have said it was a horrible format, but on mine, it's amazingly clear and legible, without zooming in, even though the screen is a fraction of the size of an ereader like the Nook or Kindle. (And it's equally readable whether I have super crap scans or very high quality ones that someone took a lot of time on.) I almost never have to zoom in on anything while reading.
Anyway, I bet the newer Kindles have better displays, too.

What in the world is a mocktail? A mocktail is a cocktail for your metabolism. In the last 25 years, our alcohol intake has doubled. Interestingly, so has the obesity rate and diabetes.

It's estimated that 11 million adults and children have hypothyroidism. Two out of every three people with hypothyroidism (under-active thyroid gland) may not know they have the disease.Why are so many people getting the disease? This is something the medical community can't agree, but lots of people who struggle with weight loss think that if they simply take a thyroid pill they will lose weight. This couldn't be further from the truth. The fact is that as we age, most of us will experience our thyroids slowing down simply because of age.Co... Read More..

Jaguar Mark IX byl luxusní automobil vyráběný britskou automobilkou Jaguar Cars mezi lety 1958 a 1961. Předchůdcem mu byl z velké části shodný model Mark VIII, nástupcem pak zcela nový model Mark X.

Jaguar Mark IX se po stránce vzhledu od svého předchůdce téměř nelišil. Elegantní čtyřdveřová karoserie s úctyhodnou délkou 4 990 mm a dvoubarevným nátěrem odděleným chromovanou páskou zůstala zachována. Většina změn se odehrála po technické stránce.
Původní 3,4 litrový motor byl nahrazen novým řadovým šestiválcem XK o objemu 3 781 cm3. Stejný motor používal také jeho nástupce typ Mark X (do 1964), sportovní model XK 150 (od 1959) a další. Poskytoval výkon 164 kW (220 k) při 5 500 ot./min, což stačilo k dosažení max. rychlosti až 184 km/h.

Další velmi důležitou inovací bylo zavedení kotoučových brzd na všechna čtyři kola a posilovače řízení do standardní výbavy.. To značně přispělo k snadnějšímu ovládání vozidla zejména ve vyšších rychlostech.Většina vozů byla dodávaná s třístupňovou automatickou převodovkou Borg Warner, ale byla nabízena také čtyřstupňová manuální s převodem dorychla.

Jak bylo u značky Jaguar zvykem, interiér nabízel velkou míru luxusu. Nechybělo obložení interiéru ořechovým dřevem, čalounění kůží, podlaha vyložená hustým kobercem nebo přední sedadla opatřená opěrkami hlavy a výklopné stolky pro cestující na zadních sedadlech. Cestující na předních sedadlech zase měli možnost sledovat oblohu pomocí posuvného střešního okna. Bylo vyrobeno přesně 10 009 vozů, které všechny vznikly v továrně Jaguaru v Coventry.

Sometimes academics present a "just so" version of history that lays aside complexities interfering with their narrative and hypothesis.
Was Europe's "rise" based on separate nation states that shared intellectual developments, or perhaps their struggles to beat each other and then take over the world in the 17th to 20th centuries?
Bottom Line: Human social, political and economic interactions are far too complicated to fit into a clean narrative, so question just-so stories and look for other important influences if you want to avoid an over-simplified perspective on reality.

With the news that Chester market will be trading until 8pm every Friday, Jeffro Airall, of "Jeffro's Wingz an Tingz" is promising to bring a taste of the Caribbean to the revitalised Chester market.
" The idea behind the business is to bring some Caribbean flavours to the people of Chester, I think its something they lack! I've spent time in Jamaica , Domenica. I can go back to basics as well as a fusion with modern day food." He says that a friend introduced him to the market and he soon took up an available unit.
With the soft launch having taken place 2 weeks ago , the full opening will be on Friday 2nd November. On the menu will be various flavoured wings, including smoked paprika, jerk and chilli. Vegetable and mutton curry will also be available.

Eleven months after hurricanes pummeled southern Louisiana, Americans are seeking signs that the area is returning to what it once was. But here in Lafayette, the focus isn't on recovering the past. Instead, state and local leaders have created a leading-edge technology center so advanced that it may well define the region's future for decades to come.
In terms of sheer computing and visualization capability, the Louisiana Immersive Technologies Enterprise (LITE), is rare even among the world's most elite computing centers. Though its supercomputers and visualization systems rank with those deployed at technology-rich national laboratories and government agencies, LITE is unlike any other institution in the world.
The first center to offer advanced visualization services and supercomputer resources to industry, universities and government, LITE is a $27 million, 70,000 square-foot complex located in the Research Park of the University of Louisiana at Lafayette LITE features one of the world's most comprehensive and tightly integrated installations of technology from SGI (OTC:SGID). LITE's immense storehouse of SGI® technology includes a digital 3D immersive visualization cube, the world's largest visualization theatre, a 3D immersive visualization conference room, an immersive visualization tele-conference room, a network of SGI® Altix® 350 systems powered by 352 processors, and an 8TB SGI® InfiniteStorage Storage Area Network.
In addition, this summer LITE installed a 160-processor SGI® Altix® 4700 supercomputer with 4.1 trillion bytes (or terabytes) of memory. The new supercomputer has enough system memory to solve the sophisticated problems faced by environmental scientists, pharmaceutical researchers, automakers, energy companies, and intelligence agencies.
Dr. Carolina Cruz-Neira, recognized as one of the world's top visualization technology experts and one of the inventors of the CAVE®, recently joined LITE as executive director and chief scientist. At LITE, Dr. Cruz-Neira heads a team of professionals culled from technology industry leaders and premiere research institutes.
" Today we are sending a message to corporations who must pursue an aggressive R&D agenda but have strict IT budgets that the road to innovation leads to Lafayette," says James L. Plumley, Chairman of the Board of the Lafayette Economic Development Authority. "With the opening of LITE, Louisiana cements its position as the destination for corporations seeking to locate their development operations in a world-class advanced visualization center wherein a collaborative community of researchers and industry experts are available to facilitate development."
Recent state legislation has allowed LITE to spin off as an independent entity devoted to serving commercial, academic, and government users.
LITE is the result of a partnership between the State of Louisiana, the University of Louisiana at Lafayette, and the Lafayette Economic Development Authority (LEDA). Conceived as a magnet for economic development, the facility can host large-scale collaborative environments for research, application development, testing and validation, product development, commercial production and high-performance computer modeling.
LITE (Louisiana Immersive Technologies Enterprise) is one of the world's leading 3D visualization and supercomputing resources serving clients in commercial industry, government, and university sectors.

Monex had millions disappear from retirement accounts
This article appeared on Elheraldodemexico.com The original article can be read here.
The Affected ask for support from the US government, after the bank has offered to pay up to 40% of its resources
Just over 150 savings accounts of Americans who decided to live their retirement in San Miguel de Allende Guanajuato, were emptied in the Monex Financial Group; the damage amounts to 40 million dollars.
In this regard, Texas congressmen Bill Zedler and Tony Tenderholt and federal lawmaker Ron Wright asked the bank for an explanation about the losses and asked to return the savings to the Americans, but they had no response.
In 2017, the nightmare of the American Karger family began after the disappearance of their money in Monex.
Jim Karger is an American lawyer, who decided to live his retirement in San Miguel de Allende, Guanajuato.
He says that after the rumor that some bank accounts of his friends had been emptied, he visited in Querétaro, the nearest Monex branch, where he was confirmed that in his 10 accounts there were only 80 pesos, of the almost 18 million pesos They would have to be reflected. "I felt like I was sick," he said.
Jim's brother, his wife and more than 15 families were disappointed by the institution, which attributes the act to the employee Marcela Zavala, who won for more than 10 years the community's confidence in that place to invest her accounts in the Bank.
With irregular movements, more than 40 million US dollars disappeared.
Monex, who chairs Héctor Lagos Dondé, acknowledged that Zavala was part of its employees. She was the executive in charge of attending the San Miguel de Allende area, which in the last 10 years became one of the keys for her investment in real estate developments.
San Miguel de Allende is a baby boomers paradise and Monex offered high returns for its dollar savings.
Antonio Holguín, of the Holguín Abogados law firm and who represents the Karger family, said they requested an investigation from the Attorney General's Office, after the Kargers are not willing to accept 60 percent of their savings as offered by the bank.
In an interview, he affirms that Monex is trying to leave Zavala Taylor full responsibility, when the affected families and their client assure that they could not have acted alone to modify passwords, alter account statements and obtain resources through electronic signatures, of that way they want to take responsibility away. "
The lawyer details that "the bank is the one who must answer for the savings of its clients". Inconsistencies were reflected between 2017 and 2018.

Welcome to the Aviation and Military art of Simon Smith
Simon was born in 1960 in Aldershot, England. The son of a military man, and brought up in an era of classic war films such as Zulu and the Battle of Britain, Simon quickly developed an interest in history and the armed forces.
He passed his A level Fine Art exam when still only 15 and after college went onto a Fine Art and Illustration course at Farnham and Reigate Art schools. After graduating with a First, he then went straight into commercial illustration work mostly for books and advertising.
He has been working on a number of military uniform books over the past few years covering subjects from the Roman Army to the armies of WW1.
As a break from the commercial work, Simon began painting historical military and aviation canvases and was soon elected a full member of the Guild of Aviation Artists.
Simon has won the Guilds Nockold's trophy a number of times and last year won both the Cross and Cockade WW1 aviation art award and the Flypast magazine award for excellence in Aviation art.
Simon has always enjoyed meeting the veterans of the second world war, some of whom have kindly signed editions of his prints. On one occasion he was lucky enough to have a ride in a Lancaster with three Dambuster crewmen, all who flew together on that legendary raid.

Palermo's Poised to Expand in 2010
Palermo's Pizza plans to expand its corporate headquarters in Milwaukee, Wis., after purchasing nearly three acres adjacent to its current location.
According to the producer of Italian-style frozen pizzas, the expansion will pave the way for future growth and enable the company to respond to increased demand for its nationally recognized product line. The Redevelopment Authority of the City of Milwaukee will take action on the request to buy 2.98 additional acres in the Menomonee Valley Industrial Center at its October 15 meeting.
The company, which currently employs more than 400 people at its 135,000-sq.-ft. facility, hopes to break ground on site preparation in October and on building construction in April 2010. The purchase of the property will accommodate a phased expansion that's anticipated to be complete in the next three to five years, according to the company.
"Back in 1995 our decision to invest in the Menomonee Valley was rooted in our love of Milwaukee and the promise of this newly developed area," says Giacomo Fallucca, president and CEO of Palermo's Pizza. "This expansion underscores the success we've enjoyed and our ongoing commitment to invest in our vibrant community."

Oscar Nominated Live Action Shorts
Posted on February 12, 2012 by bernardovillela
In recent years there have been nationwide screenings of the Oscar-nominated short films, which is a great thing for many reasons: clearly it promotes the filmmakers but also as a filmmaker and Oscar spectator you'd like to have an informed opinion based on more than just the title and/or the snippet shown, which I have operated under many times.
Clearly seeing only a few seconds of each film as opposed to each in their entirety can skew your perspective. It's rather enjoyable to discover these films and artists and while I don't feel this year's field is as strong as last year's there are some very good contenders all the same.
Pentecost (Irish Film Board)
Is a hilarious film from Ireland, which at my screening got the only round of applause upon its completion. It tells the tale of an altar server's chance at redemption at a big service. It plays like a sports film at times and all its laughs are good natured ones.
Wotan Wilke Mohring and Julia Richter in Raju (Interfilm Berlin)
A tale of the complications a German couple encounters in trying to adopt a child in India. The intentions of the tale and message are fine but there are a few narrative stumbles and predictable moments that hold the film back from maximizing its potential.
Ciarán Hinds in The Shore (Screen Northern Ireland)
This film from Northern Ireland features not only the only star turn (Ciáran Hinds) in this year's nominees but perhaps the simplest through-line. A great film about forgiveness and friendship above all else.
Time Freak
Michael Nathanson in Time Freak
It seems the American entry is usually comedic (based on these two years I've seen- not much to go on but bear with me). There's been a surreal or silly edge to both, however, God of Love (Last year's winner) is a fully articulated thought and this while funny felt a bit more like an ambitious sketch. There's talent and film craft at work but it wasn't as narratively whole or as ambitious as other entrants.
Tuba Atlantic
Edvard Hægstad and Terje Ranes in Tuba Atlantic (Norwegian Film School)
In a short tonality matters greatly and is harder to establish for you have less time so your choices have to be that much more certain, your intentions that much clearer. Therefore when a short not only plays as comedic and dramatic it's twice as impressive. The film also creates very well-defined and unique but not irrationally quirky characters. It touches on many of the themes that the other nominees do but handles each quickly and deftly and creates its world quickly and precisely. It's full of surprises laughs and emotion and the most complete and fulfilling short I've seen since this time last year.
More information about these shorts can be found here. The Academy Awards are on Sunday, February 26th on ABC.
Spielberg Sunday- Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (1989)
Harrison Ford and Sean Connery in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (Paramount)
Owing to the fact that I have decided to honor Steven Spielberg this year with my version of a Lifetime Achievement Award I figured it was an appropriate time to dust off some old reviews I wrote when I took a course on his work. The remarks still hold true, he is an amazing filmmaker.
Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade is better than the original for many reasons. It's a film that doesn't just hit you but involves you more in the story line. Part of why it is easier to go along for that ride is because you've been prepared by the previous film to expect certain things despite this there are also some new and creative elements in this movie which separates it.
In the beginning we get what is seemingly an unattached scene. In this one we flash back to when Indiana was a child, played by River Phoenix. His chase for a crucifix establishes a few things. First, it establishes that this will be yet another religious relic that they will be in search of. Second, and more importantly it defines who his arch enemy is. We also get glimpses into the character's psyche whereas previously he was a very external being we get this just through seeing past events. Young Indiana picks up a whip for the first time when coming face to face with a lion. Then we see the interplay between him and his father and can see how the boy doesn't understand how his father could've dedicated his whole life to these adventures especially in his mother's absence.
When Indiana is pegged for a mission the discussion of it is much more confrontational than in the first. There is a lot more give and take. Indy shows part of his disbelief in the grail while we are told the history in much more detail than we were in the first film when Indy was in search of the Ark of the Covenant. He's very reluctant to go but is urged on by the fact that his father has been kidnapped this after him mysteriously receiving his father's Grail Diary.
This film is full of riddles and mind games which makes it that much more entertaining. He arrives in the library that was a converted church and with Elsa Schneider (Alison Doody) they have to solve a puzzle of where the catacombs are. They look for the Roman numerals but can't find one. Indy on a hunch runs up the stairs and sees the X all across the floor. Down in the dark with all the rats Spielberg reaches a moment of terror with all the rats crawling along.
Another great touch this film had was in keeping with the traditions of the 40s and 50s in that we could never quite figure anyone out. I was genuinely surprised by Ilsa both when we were shown she was a Nazi and then later when she mislead her leader in the choosing which grail was the Holy Grail. That coupled with her femme fatale status of seducing men only to ruin them made her seem like something out of a film noir.
The tandem of Sean Connery and Harrison Ford worked very well together. Their timing is great especially when they were both tied up and were trying to talk to one another face to face and their heads kept swiveling side to side. Their relationship dominated significant portions of the film and they exchanged great moves and funny lines constantly. On the zeppelin the ball was in Junior's court and stayed their as they escaped but in the plane Senior had to shoot the machine gun and shot the tail off and was hysterical in denying it. Then on the beach he got the seagulls flapping to knock down the second plane.
What I also found quite interesting in both this film and the first although it was more prominent in this film was the involvement and use of the Nazis. It was interesting for me because I had believed Spielberg had never addressed any aspect of the war in any sort of way until making 'Schindler's List.' Having established the Nazi interest in the occult and in conquering religion I think that's why there was more Nazi involvement here. It also allowed for a hilarious scene where Ford dressed as a Nazi who comes face to face with Adolf Hitler who instead of burning the grail diaries signs it for him and moves on from there.
For me the only stumbling blocks to make this a completely fulfilling experience cam towards the end. When Indiana must spell out the name of God, Jehovah was not the name that immediately came to mind it was, in fact, Yahweh which was the original Hebrew word which people did not speak and when it was written there were no vowels. However, it was later replaced by Jehovah. This is no fault on the filmmakers part its just a slight technicality that some may or may not pick up on.
This time, however, I was prepared for what would happen to the man who drank from the false grail because it was foreshadowed and also because it closely resembled the end of the first film. My one question lay in the fact that it seemed to me from the way the situation was explained that Indiana would now be immortalized and would have to guard the grail or his father would maybe perhaps they escape that by trying to remove the grail it did get a little hazy in that regard but nonetheless it was quite an enjoyable film that blended many diverse elements to make for a really entertaining ride.

Hotel Stanley
The Stanley Hotel in Estes Park
Whether you're a Colorado native or a tourist, the beautiful town of Estes Park is worth visiting. One of the most beautiful small towns in the state, it borders the entrance of Rocky Mountain National Park, across which Trail Ridge Road passes, the highest paved road in the continental United States.
One of the most iconic historic hotels in America, the Stanley was built by Freelan Oscar (FO) Stanley and opened on July 4th, 1909. It primarily aimed at wealthy Easterners as a health resort due to its high elevation and clear, cold mountain air. The dry cold air was beneficial in treating tuberculosis at a time before antibiotic drugs were discovered. In fact, Mr. Stanley suffered from the disease, and he moved to Estes Park, for the summer months, on his doctor's advice in 1903. He and his wife Flora came to Colorado in March and visited the Estes Valley in June. They enjoyed the scenic beauty and rustic appearance of the town. Over the summer months, his health improved greatly due to the fresh air and sunshine. In fact, Mr. Stanley found the area so beautiful and conducive to good health that he stayed in Estes every summer for the next thirty-seven years. In 1907, he built a hotel in Estes Park, as the local accommodations were cozy but not very "posh." With its stunning scenery and healthful high-altitude climate, Stanley realized its potential resort value, knowing it would attract wealthy people from his social circle back in the Eastern part of the country. The property was purchased, 6,000 acres, from the Dunraven Ranch, which, as you might expect, has its own unique history going back to the 1870s and is related to the Homestead Act (62. Construction began in 1907, and it was called the Hotel Stanley, a 48-room grand hotel that catered to rich urbanites in Stanley's social circle. It was proposed to be called the Dunraven Hotel, but after a local town vote, it was decided that the name Stanley was more fitting, as Mr. Stanley was the prime mover for the project.
The timber used to build the hotel came from the nearby Bear Lake area, which had experienced a wildfire in 1900. This fact accounts for the faint smell of burned wood, which is still present today, though only noticeable during the summer and then only when the humidity is high.
Though Bear Lake is within the boundaries of Rocky Mountain National Park today, when the Stanley Hotel was built, it was on private land purchased by Stanley. It wasn't proclaimed as a national park until 1915, and is its own story. It is a classic "land grab" tale, and ties in with the history of the West.
Kodak and The Steamer Car
It is also worth mentioning that Mr. Stanley and his twin brother Francis Edgar were the dry plate photographic process inventors, which was fundamental to modern photography in the pre-digital age. The brothers sold their discovery to George Eastman, who would soon form the Eastman Kodak Company. Subsequently, the brothers Stanley focused their attention on the development of a steam-powered automobile. They founded the Stanley Motor Carriage Company in 1902. They developed and produced steam-powered "cars" until 1924, when gasoline-powered, internal combustion engines became widely used in other transportation modes, including aircraft. As regards the hotel, Stanley used a version of his steam-powered vehicle, essentially a bus, to transport guests up from Loveland to Estes in the first years of hotel operation. The subject of the steam-powered vehicles is its own story.
Far and away, the most interest in the Stanley Hotel comes from its association with the bestselling 1977 Stephen King novel, The Shining, and its 1980 movie adaptation of the same name. While the hotel is called The Overlook in the novel and film, it is well known that Mr. King stayed at the hotel, and was inspired by his family's one-night stay, just before the hotel closed down for the winter. The combination of the nearly empty hotel, the elegant decor, the winter setting in, and his vivid imagination resulted in his sketching out the basics of the story. If you've read the book or have seen the movie, you know the result. Terror and madness, ghosts, blood, snow that never seems to stop falling.
The Stanley Hotel, with all its associated, interesting history, is still open for business and thriving in the twenty-first century. It's many buildings and grounds have been carefully maintained and modernized. Weddings, concerts, and other activities are held throughout the year, and of course, it still is a first-class hotel with every conceivable amenity. If you're heading to Estes Park, it is a beautiful place to visit or stay. I can personally attest to its beauty, as I have walked through the ground floor, while outside was a wedding reception in progress. I didn't stay at the Stanley, however, so I can't describe any paranormal activities, which by all accounts, regularly occur.

Tofurky Asks Court to Halt Labeling Law Enforcement
The law in question bans labeling vegetarian and vegan products as meat, and advertising them as such.
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) — A plant-based food producer has asked a federal court to temporarily stop Arkansas from enforcing a law that bans labeling vegetarian and vegan products as meat and advertising them as such while litigation is underway. Hood River, Oregon-based Tofurky Co. told courts that complying with the law would have a "severe detrimental impact" because of the cost to change marketing and packaging.
It's not clear if the law has been enforced since taking effect three weeks ago. The law's authors say it's designed to protect consumers. Tofurky claims the lawsuit restricts commercial speech protected by the First Amendment.
Arkansas Attorney General Leslie Rutledge did not immediately return a request for comment. The American Civil Liberties Union first filed a lawsuit on Tofurky's behalf challenging the law in July. Similar lawsuits have been filed in Missouri and Mississippi.

The northern end of this coastline in Costa Calida includes the Mar Menor ("Little Sea"), a coastal saltwater lagoon. The Mar Menor is separated from the Mediterranean by a 22km-long spit of land called La Manga, on which most of the tourism development for the region has been constructed.
The city of Murcia is 30 - 45 minutes drive inland from the resorts of the Mar Menor. It is the capital of the region an important administrative, religious, cultural and commercial centre. Founded by the Moors in the 9 th century, remnants of the old city walls still exist but these days it is the Cathedral that dominates the old town.
Senorio de Roda is situated just a few minutes from the beaches of the Mar Menor and it's coastal towns St. Javier and Los Alcazares.

Police union blasts Mayor Ted Wheeler's criticism of cop for friendly exchanges with right-wing group leader
Updated Feb 20, 2019; Posted Feb 19, 2019
Portland's City Hall.Michelle Brence/Staff (file)
By Maxine Bernstein | The Oregonian/OregonLive
The Portland police commanding officers union that represents Lt. Jeffrey Niiya filed a grievance Tuesday against the city, citing a contract provision that says any reprimand of a police supervisor should be done in a way "least likely to embarrass" the officer in public.
The grievance stems from statements Wheeler, as police commissioner, and City Commissioners Jo Ann Hardesty and Chloe Eudaly issued last week after the release of hundreds of text messages between Niiya and Patriot Prayer leader Joey Gibson in 2017 and 2018. Niiya and Gibson exchanged the messages as Gibson's right-wing group ventured into Portland to stage rallies that drew counter-protesters and often resulted in bloody assaults.
The Portland Police Commanding Officers Association also filed a workplace harassment complaint against the mayor, Hardesty and Eudaly, writing that their comments last week were "derogatory and hostile and damaged Lieutenant Niiya's professional work environment.''
Niiya's texts and emails with Gibson show him sometimes telling Gibson about the movements of counter-protesters, telling Gibson if officers would be on foot or bike at protests and alerting Gibson to have one of his followers Tusitala John "Tiny" Toese, also a member of the far-right Proud Boys, take care of his outstanding arrest warrant before he showed up downtown. Niiya told Gibson that officers could arrest Toese if he acted out but it wasn't likely to occur, though Toese ended up being arrested on a warrant and additional charges.
Niiya, a 22-year bureau veteran, served as the Police Bureau's liaison to protest organizers as the supervisor of the bureau's Rapid Response Team, which handles crowd control. Niiya's job was to establish a line of communication with protest leaders to help the bureau prepare and plan on how to staff demonstrations.
In a Feb. 14 news release, Wheeler called the text messages "disturbing'' and said they "appeared to cross several boundaries.'' He raised questions about whether warrants "are being enforced consistently and what information is being shared with individuals who may be subject to arrest.'' Wheeler suggested the text messages appeared to "unnecessarily encourage'' Gibson.
The next day, Police Chief Danielle Outlaw said Niiya had been ordered to halt further activities with the Rapid Response Team and any communications with protest organizers while an internal investigation proceeded.
The union said Wheeler's statement "about our communications with Patriot Prayer organizers is either disingenuous or shows willful ignorance of the situation. Either way it shows that during his two years as Portland police commissioner he has failed to develop an understanding of even basic police work.''
Wheeler, in a news conference later Tuesday, defended his statements. He said his chief concern was that it appeared a police lieutenant was coaching someone "about how to avoid arrest."
Hardesty and Eudaly and some community activists last week pointed to the text messages as confirmation of their beliefs that Portland police have shielded ultra-conservative demonstrators while targeting leftist opponents. Some have demanded Wheeler step down as police commissioner.
Hardesty, in a statement last week, said the texting "simply confirms what many in the community have already known - there are members of the Portland police force who work in collusion with right-wing extremists.''
Eudaly's statement said, "This revelation has only served to confirm suspicions and deepen the divide between the PPB and the community. All members of our police bureau must follow our rules and uphold our progressive values, not aid and abet groups and individuals bent on doing harm to our communities and responsible for terrorizing our city."
Niiya also has tried to reach out to counter-protesters and self-described anti-fascist demonstrators and their allies but has had less success since the 2017 publication of his months of text exchanges with June Davies, also known as "Gia,'' according to Lt. Craig Morgan, president of the Portland Police Commanding Officers Association.
After those messages became public, critics accused Davies of being an informant for the police. In his exchanges with Davies, Niiya often discussed police presence at protests, how activists might respond and answered some of Davies' inquired whether certain people were arrested during marches.
"Our job is to keep the people of Portland safe,'' Morgan said in a statement Tuesday. "That means building bridges and developing cordial relationships with diverse groups and individuals. We have regular open communication with the mayor's office about our work and the tactics we employ. This situation is no different.''
DOCUMENT: PPCOA'S GRIEVANCE
The commanding officer union attorney, Hank Kaplan, called the mayor's press release about Niiya's text messages with Gibson "gratuitous political grandstanding,'' and urged the city "retract'' the public criticism.
The Police Bureau's policy on crowd control directs officers to "make reasonable efforts to contact and engage in dialogue with known event or demonstration organizers." That's done to plan and to "develop a shared understanding of the organizers' needs and objectives,'' according to the policy.
Officer Daryl Turner, president of the rank-and-file Portland Police Association, also issued a statement to the union's members. Turner said he believes the mayor's office knew about Niiya's communications with Patriot Prayer and other protest groups.
"Transparency, accountability and good leadership hinges on putting facts ahead of political agendas,'' Turner wrote. "Pushing out sensationalized soundbites and one-sided stories ahead of an investigation does a disservice to our citizens and our rank and file officers, who rightfully have grave concerns regarding the leadership of our city.''
Protest events in Portland have become hotbeds of violence. Protestors, often armed with makeshift weapons, have fought...
Posted by Portland Police Association on Tuesday, February 19, 2019
Here's a copy of the complaint by the Portland Police Commanding Officers Association, made to the city's Human Resources Director Serilda Summers-McGee:
Ms. Summers-McGee,
Please accept this email as an official complaint against Mayor Ted Wheeler, Commissioner JoAnn Hardesty, and Commissioner Chloe Eudaly. PPCOA believes all three violated HR Rule 2.02 with their various public comments about Lieutenant Jeff Niiya and his text messages with protest organizers. Their comments were derogatory and hostile and damaged Lieutenant Niiya's professional work environment.
A grievance based on Article 30 of the PPCOA collective bargaining agreement will also be arriving via separate cover.
We look forward to a thorough investigation of these allegations.
Please don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or require any additional information.
Lt. Niiya's text messages, released by the Portland Police Bureau:

New budget planning director appointed
Liana Aghajanian
Sharon Eichten, director of finance and administrative services in Information Technology Resources, has been named CSUN's new director of budget planning and management and will be starting her new job on Oct. 17.
Ron Clouse, the university's current director of budget planning and management, retired on June 30; he will be assisting in the transition of budget directors during the current 2006-07 fiscal year, however.
Eichten, who holds a degree from CSUN in business administration, said she was excited to take on her new role.
"I am thrilled. This is a tremendous opportunity," Eichten said, adding that she definitely has a great passion for working with numbers.
Eichten started her professional career at CSUN, serving as manager of finance and logistical services for ITR, where she managed the budgets of both the University Library and ITR.
Having worked in her current position since 1998, she also served as common management systems project director for about two and half years, a job in which she managed all aspects of the PeopleSoft enterprise resource planning software environment.
"Sharon brings to campus some 15 years of valuable experience in managing divisional budgets and expenditures, a demonstrated work ethic and a history of energetic service on campus committees," said James Sullivan, vice president for administration and finance, in a statement released Oct. 4.
Having known Eichten for a number of years, Clouse said he is confident that she is the right person for the job.
"She's going to do really well," Clouse said. "She knows everyone on campus, she (is) collaborative and is willing to go out and ask questions and find out what the environment is. She also has a very positive attitude."
Laura Clary, manager of academic resources, agrees.
"She has tons of experience and directly related experience on campus," Clary said. "When she has a task, she's committed to doing that the best way she can. She loves working with the budget and her attention to detail is astonishing."
Having been Eichten's assistant budget analyst, Clary worked directly for her for about two years, and always found her to be fair and dedicated to the campus, she said.
The director of budget planning and management's role is to make estimates of the revenues for the year in all budget areas and to integrate those with allocations or allotments coming from the state, Clouse said.
"It is knowing all the parameters that are relevant to revenue, benefits and expenditures," he said.
Clouse said he really enjoyed dealing with the people on campus, and now has plans to travel, deal with various projects around the house and go back to school to study geology and astronomy as Eichten takes over his role as director.
Among the changes in budget planning that Eichten will be overseeing this year is the new plan for the California State University system to collect and administer student fees through the CSU trust fund rather than as a state general fund. This will improve year end close efficiencies within the CSU.
Currently, student fees are deposited into a bank account that is swept daily by the State Department of Finance and invested immediately. This means that the State Department of Finance is reimbursed by the CSU for its forgone interest.
If the new plan is approved, receipts will be deposited into a bank account that the CSU will control, which means that the CSU will be responsible for making sure there are sufficient funds to cover payroll, benefits and other expenditures.
This will affect the way accounting is done, but it does not affect the way students pay their fees, said Clouse.
"It is a mechanism to allow for increased efficiencies at both the State and the CSU level of handling both the accounting and business practices," said Clouse.
The rules for the change however, have not been full defined. There will be series of upcoming conferences that will deal with the rules and other details involved in the change.
Other projects that Eichten will be dealing with include the new housing construction, the building of the G3 parking structure and the new Performing Arts Center which will be completed late in 2009.
Having been at CSUN her entire career, Eichten has seen the campus go through major changes, especially the 1994 Northridge earthquake, which she said brought everyone closer together.
Indeed, the difficult period of the earthquake was also a time that Clary recalls as everyone uniting with each other to deal with the circumstances, in which Eichten played a role in stabilizing the situation.
"After the earthquake, we were all squished into a tiny office and she knew how to build her team back," Clary said.
Eichten described her experience as CSUN as a very positive one and said she will miss the sheer craziness of dropping everything and managing problems in her position as director of finance and administrative services in ITR.
As Clouse retires, Eichten is poised to take on her responsibilities as the new director of budget planning and management.
"She's going to do an excellent job (which I can say) having worked with and for her," Clary said. "We're going to miss Ron, he was just so wonderful, but I know that Sharon will step right up to the plate."

Location: Cambodia
CAMBODIA:
Growing But Unequal
Cambodia has achieved sustained economic growth over the past two decades. Despite substantial progress, socio-economic and gender inequalities persist, hampering access to a nutritious diet. Food security and nutrition face challenges caused by shocks, a rapidly changing food environment and inefficiencies in the food system.
Undernutrition is widespread in Cambodia for many reasons: children are not eating enough food, and what they do eat doesn't contain the nutrients they need to grow and develop. Dietary deficiencies in zinc, iodine and B-vitamins also widely affect women of reproductive age and children. Undernutrition is estimated to cost the country approximately 1.7 percent of its annual GDP.
of kids under 5 are stunted
of Cambodians are under-nourished
most vulnerable country to natural disasters
RURAL AND CLIMATE SHOCKED
Seventy-nine percent of the Cambodian population lives in rural areas and they are on the front-line of a changing climate. Floods and droughts frequently threaten the food system and will increase in frequency and intensity in the future. Cambodia is currently ranked the eighth most vulnerable country to natural disasters, so supporting communities to prepare for and respond to disasters is key to ensure they can access nutritious foods year-round.
But 1979, we've supported Cambodian families to meet their emergency needs and enhance the long-term food and nutrition security of vulnerable households and communities.
We work with the Government of Cambodia to strengthen capacities and systems that can be fully nationally owned. Our goal is that all Cambodians can meet their nutrition needs and the country can reach SDG2 – a world with Zero Hunger by 2030.
WFP'S Work in CAMBODIA
We're making sure Cambodian families have access to nutritious, safe and diverse foods, with a shift towards strengthening national capacity to improve food security and resilience, and effectively mitigate and respond to environmental shocks.
We work with the Ministry of Education, Youth and Sport and the National Social Protection Council to promote access to quality education, nutritious diets and social assistance for children at pre-primary and primary school. The school meals program will transition to a nationally owned home-grown school meals model that sources ingredients from local farmers, incorporates food quality and safety, encourages community ownership, and supports local economies.
Sustainable & Resilient Food Systems
We also work closely with the Government to create climate-smart plans that will help communities become more resilient to climate shocks. Working with partners like the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries, we leverage our experience in data management platforms to facilitate the flow of information on agriculture, markets and climate services to end users at subnational level.
Emergency Prep & Response
We work closely with partners to strengthen national capacities and develop tools to improve preparedness for weather extremes. We also provide emergency assistance and early recovery supports to vulnerable households affected by natural disasters, while contributing to develop and operationalize the national shock responsive social protection framework to enable the Government to respond to multilevel shocks in a timely and efficient way.
We team up with the Green Trade Company and the Ministry of Commerce to explore on-demand supply chain services for partners (including storage services, warehouse management, transportation, handling, and clearance). We also engage with humanitarian and development partners to identify supply chain gaps and strategies. And we maintain warehouse spaces, services and transport capacities so they're ready to support any emergency response.

New York City Green Roof Property Tax Abatement Program
The Green Roof Property Tax Abatement provides a one-year tax abatement for the construction of a green roof on residential and commercial buildings in New York City. The City of New York and New York State passed legislation in 2008 to provide a one-year tax abatement, or tax relief, of $4.50 per square foot (up to $100,000 or the building's tax liability, whichever is less). Amended in 2013 by New York State's AB 7058, the tax abatement is now available through March 15, 2018.
As per the 2013 Amendment, an increase in the value of the abatement was raised from $4.50 per square foot of green roof to $5.23 per square foot of green roof plus doubling the per-project cap from $100,000 to $200,000. Section 1 of AB 7058 also amends the definition of the term "green roof" to add native and agricultural plant species to the list of "live plants" that can be used to meet the requirement that 80% of the vegetation layer of a green roof must be covered by live plants.
To be eligible for the New York State tax credit, the green roof system must cover at least 50 percent of a building's useable rooftop space, with vegetation on at least 80 percent of that covered roof space. State law also requires that all applications for a green roof tax abatement must include an applicant agreement with a maintenance plan for the compliance period (year of abatement) plus three additional years.

A community rests low on the information scale when the press/media is controlled by a few people and when citizens HAVE TO accept what they are told.
If students are not taught critical thinking skills (with a well rounded education so they have basic knowledge of history, politics, sophism, economics etc.) THEN despotism has a good chance of establishing itself.
By keeping students unable to think critically, you get adults who can't think critically (or have any ability to evaluate facts from lies). These adults will accept whatever thier chosen authority source tells them.
Why do we not have more information on the Iraq Oil War?
Answer: We fine whistle blowers now since the Bush Administration!
