Act on the news with POLITICO Pro.
— The U.S.-brokered agreement between Israel and UAE could offer new opportunities for security cooperation.
— Military tensions heat up again between Turkey and NATO nations over Ankara's "illegal" drilling actions in the eastern Mediterranean.
— Secretary of State Mike Pompeo says Russia was warned there "will be an enormous price to pay" if they pay Afghan militants to kill U.S. troops.
HAPPY FRIDAY AND WELCOME TO MORNING DEFENSE, where we got a reminder that the "clean sheet" approach the new Space Force is taking also means it can ball it up, toss it in the trash, and start again. Like this misfire from the nascent branch's recruiting efforts. "How would you even begin to explain this Space Force tweet?" asked New York magazine. For the Space Force, Task and Purpose reports, "it was a clumsy attempt to talk about the future…' For Twitter, it was a field day. And not sure about you, but our kids know how to "shape the strategic environment" far better than we do.

We revolutionized long range strike with the B-2. Now, we're Defining Possible again with B-21 Raider. Drawing on decades of stealth expertise, we've created a platform ready to dominate the battlefields of tomorrow. Learn more about how B-21 Raider is Defining Possible.
'MILES APART': White House officials and top Democratic lawmakers concede they're nowhere close to a deal on a new round of coronavirus economic aid after six days without in-person meetings, leaving little hope economic relief will arrive this month, POLITICO's Marianne LeVine and Sarah Ferris report.
Heading home: The Senate is now expected to recess until Labor Day, after technically remaining in session an extra week, though most senators went home last week. The House has already left for the rest of August and the first two weeks of September.
For Your Radar
BRAITHWAITE TO TESTIFY: Navy Secretary Kenneth Braithwaite will make his first public appearance on Capitol Hill next month before a Senate Armed Services' Readiness Subcommittee.
Braithwaite, who's kept a low profile since he was confirmed in May, is slated to testify on Sept. 23 on Navy and Marine Corps readiness alongside Chief of Naval Operations Adm. Michael Gilday and Marine Commandant Gen. David Berger.
'WE WON'T TOLERATE THAT': "Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has acknowledged that he and U.S. military leaders warned Russian officials against offering bounties to militants for killing American and coalition troops in Afghanistan, more than a month after President Donald Trump dismissed reports of the payments as a 'hoax,'" our colleague Lara Seligman reports.
Pompeo said he told his Russian counterpart that if Moscow is offering money to kill Americans or other Westerners, "there will be an enormous price to pay," according to a State Department transcript of a Wednesday interview with Radio Free Europe. "That's what I shared with Foreign Minister [Sergey] Lavrov. I know our military has talked to their senior leaders as well. We won't brook that; we won't tolerate that."
Pompeo's comments mark the first time a senior member of the administration has publicly acknowledged discussing the bounties, first reported by The New York Times in June, with the Russian government. By contrast, Trump said in a recent interview with Axios that he never confronted Russian President Vladimir Putin about the matter.
The top U.S. general in the Middle East told reporters that he's skeptical over the intelligence that bounties had been paid. "I found it very worrisome. I didn't find that there was a causative link there," Gen. Frank McKenzie, head of U.S. Central Command, said in early July.
'THE ICE HAS BEEN BROKEN': "President Donald Trump on Thursday announced that Israel and the United Arab Emirates will normalize diplomatic relations, hailing the news as a major breakthrough that will 'advance peace in the Middle East,'" POLITICO's Max Cohen and Nahal Toosi report.
"By uniting two of America's closest and most capable partners in the region, something which [was] said could not be done, this deal is a significant step towards building a more peaceful, secure, and prosperous Middle East," Trump said in the Oval Office. "Now that the ice has been broken, I expect more Arab and Muslim countries will follow the United Arab Emirates' lead."
The announcement was also seen as a victory in easing tensions between Israel and the Palestinians. Israel also pledged to shelve for now plans to annex parts of the West Bank where it has constructed settlements.
The president's allies hailed the breakthrough, which seeks to further isolate a common enemy in Iran. But Jonathan Schanzer, senior vice president for research at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, told Morning D the deal "is cementing what we already know about the way that the region is aligning."
Sunni Arab states and Israel have grown increasingly aligned — at least unofficially — to check Iranian aggression across the region. And Israel and the UAE have held diplomatic visits in recent years and participated in joint military exercises.
"There is a lot already happening under the table," Schanzer said. "The tracks have been laid for years on this. It was an open secret. Everyone knew Israel and the UAE had a relationship. The question now is how it manifests itself."

TURKEY'S 'ILLEGAL ACTIONS': Two leading Democrats in Congress on Thursday raised "grave concern regarding Turkey's provocative actions in the Eastern Mediterranean" in sending naval vessels with a drilling ship to survey for oil inside Greece's exclusive economic zone.
Sens. Bob Menendez of New Jersey, the top Democrat on the Foreign Relations Committee, and Chris Van Hollen of Maryland, a member of the Senate Appropriations's State, Foreign Operations, and Related Programs subcommittee, called on Pompeo to "immediately begin to work with the European Union on a coordinated response to Turkey's increasing provocations and illegal actions."
"The United States and the European Union should immediately develop a plan of comprehensive joint sanctions that would be imposed on key sectors of the Turkish economy if Turkey continues to pursue illegal actions in the Eastern Mediterranean and refuses to resolve these matters through an impartial international tribunal," they wrote.
Pompeo is scheduled to meet today with Greek Foreign Minister Nikos Dendias in Vienna.
Ankara and Athens have a long history of military confrontations and the latest actions have set off alarm bells about a potential conflict. "It's been awhile since NATO members Turkey and Greece have been at war, but don't rule out at least a skirmish or two," Simon Henderson of the Washington Institute for Near East Policy, writes in The Hill.

2020 Watch
A COMMON FRAMEWORK FOR NORTH KOREA: Thirteen progressive and anti-war advocacy groups are urging the next administration to commit to greater diplomatic engagement with North Korea.
"The next administration — whether it is the second Trump administration or a new Biden administration — will have to pick up where this one leaves off, and will have an urgent responsibility to make progress with North Korea," the groups wrote in a memo to the Trump and Biden campaigns.
They also proposed a series of principles to guide North Korea policy — including seeking shared goals rather than "all or nothing" disarmament for sanctions relief, pursuing a formal agreement to end the Korean War, opening liaison offices in Washington and Pyongyang, and continued repatriation of POW/MIA remains and reuniting divided North Korean families.
'WHAT WE NEED IS THE FEEDBACK': Pentagon acquisition chief Ellen Lord said Thursday that smaller companies should be more vocal about whether accelerated progress payments are trickling down to them from prime contractors, our colleague Jacqueline Feldscher reports.
Critics have argued that the boost in progress payments during the coronavirus epidemic mostly benefit the biggest defense contractors. Lord said hearing directly from small businesses that they are receiving that money as intended will help the accelerated payment rate become permanent.
"What we need is the feedback from the smalls especially, as well as mid-tier companies, saying 'This was flowed down to us. We received it, it made a difference,'" Lord said.

Life timeline of Chas J Gustaveson
Chas J Gustaveson was born on 5 Dec 1841
Chas J Gustaveson was 18 years old when Charles Darwin publishes On the Origin of Species. Charles Robert Darwin, was an English naturalist, geologist and biologist, best known for his contributions to the science of evolution. He established that all species of life have descended over time from common ancestors and, in a joint publication with Alfred Russel Wallace, introduced his scientific theory that this branching pattern of evolution resulted from a process that he called natural selection, in which the struggle for existence has a similar effect to the artificial selection involved in selective breeding.
Chas J Gustaveson was 19 years old when Abraham Lincoln is elected as the 16th President of United States. Abraham Lincoln was an American statesman and lawyer who served as the 16th President of the United States from March 1861 until his assassination in April 1865. Lincoln led the United States through the American Civil War—its bloodiest war and perhaps its greatest moral, constitutional, and political crisis. In doing so, he preserved the Union, abolished slavery, strengthened the federal government, and modernized the economy.
Chas J Gustaveson was 33 years old when Winston Churchill, English colonel, journalist, and politician, Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, Nobel Prize laureate (d. 1965) Sir Winston Leonard Spencer-Churchill was a British politician, army officer, and writer, who was Prime Minister of the United Kingdom from 1940 to 1945 and again from 1951 to 1955. As Prime Minister, Churchill led Britain to victory in the Second World War. Churchill represented five constituencies during his career as Member of Parliament (MP). Ideologically an economic liberal and British imperialist, he began and ended his parliamentary career as a member of the Conservative Party, which he led from 1940 to 1955, but for twenty years from 1904 he was a prominent member of the Liberal Party.
Chas J Gustaveson was 47 years old when The Eiffel Tower is officially opened. The Eiffel Tower is a wrought iron lattice tower on the Champ de Mars in Paris, France. It is named after the engineer Gustave Eiffel, whose company designed and built the tower.
Chas J Gustaveson was 53 years old when Mahatma Gandhi forms the Natal Indian Congress (NIC) in order to fight discrimination against Indian traders in Natal. Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi was an Indian activist who was the leader of the Indian independence movement against British rule. Employing nonviolent civil disobedience, Gandhi led India to independence and inspired movements for civil rights and freedom across the world. The honorific Mahātmā – applied to him first in 1914 in South Africa – is now used worldwide. In India, he is also called Bapu and Gandhi ji, and known as the Father of the Nation.
Chas J Gustaveson was 64 years old when Albert Einstein publishes his first paper on the special theory of relativity. Albert Einstein was a German-born theoretical physicist who developed the theory of relativity, one of the two pillars of modern physics. His work is also known for its influence on the philosophy of science. He is best known to the general public for his mass–energy equivalence formula E = mc2, which has been dubbed "the world's most famous equation". He received the 1921 Nobel Prize in Physics "for his services to theoretical physics, and especially for his discovery of the law of the photoelectric effect", a pivotal step in the development of quantum theory.
Chas J Gustaveson died on 18 Jun 1912 at the age of 70

Lawsuit Involving Activision And Booker T Going To Trial
Thanks to Brandon Ewing at Ewrestlingnews we have learned that a lawsuit involving Activision Blizzard and former pro wrestler and WWE Hall of Famer Booker "Booker T" Hoffman will be heading to trial on April 19.
The lawsuit alleges that Activision ripped off Booker T's "G.I. Bro" persona for their character David "Prophet" Wilkes in Call of Duty: Black Ops IIII.
Booker T states there were two versions of his "G.I. Bro" comic book released in 2015 and that likeness was directly used in the video game.
Interestingly, Booker T had a gimmick during his time as a wrestler which he used the name G.I. Bro when he was starting out in Ivan Putski's Western Wrestling Alliance Live! program and later in the year 2000 as a member of the Misfits in Action when he wrestled for WCW.

Liz Pike—known for her involvement in the arts community as well as for her service as a Republican in the Washington House of Representatives, representing the 18th Legislative District—will be the featured artist at Camas Gallery for the month of August.
Pike is self-taught, and began working in oil on canvas at the age of 22. She paints en plein air (in the open air) can frequently be found in her art studio at Shangri-La Farm in Fern Prairie. Pike is inspired by the beauty of the Pacific Northwest and the lush gardens at her organic farm. She is the founder of the Camas First Friday Art Walk, believing that historic downtown Camas could become a haven for artists and art galleries. In 2005, she opened the Pike Art Gallery in downtown Camas and operated the gallery for three years. Pikw paints natural landscapes, still life, and historic buildings. Her work can be found for display and sale at several outdoor art festivals and in local galleries. Details about private and group painting lessons and events can be found at LizPikeArt.com.
Camas Gallery, located at 408 N.E. 4th Ave. in downtown Camas, will celebrate Pike's exhibit with a First Friday event from 6 to 8 p.m. on Aug. 4.

Blackaby is a multi-disciplinary fine artist, with a professional background in commercial and fine art spanning nearly four decades.

His artwork has received many awards and his work is in corporate and private collections in the United States.

If you missed the Camas Gallery's First Friday reception for Katey Sandy on May 5, there's still plenty of time to see and appreciate her work; she'll be the gallery's featured artist through May 31.
Sandy paints intuitively from the internalized inspiration of nature's shapes, colors and textures. She loves to experiment letting each composition unfold and change as she works. She uses a variety of approaches and interacts with what is happening during the process. Her work is very diverse. Her finished works are not realistic renderings, but expressionistic interpretations. She enjoys creating abstractly and developing "Artistic Montage" –overlapping shapes. Her sense of design guides the creation of each painting. She offers each piece to the viewer, hoping they will find beauty and enjoyment based on their own experiences and interpretations.
Camas Gallery is open from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m., Tuesdays through Fridays, and from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturdays. The gallery is located at 408 N.E. 4th Ave. in downtown Camas.

Mike Smith—an English teacher who transformed himself into a highly sought-after painter and sculptor—will be the featured artist at Camas Gallery from April 1-30. Smith received a degree in English Literature from the University of Portland, taught briefly, and then became committed to developing his art on a professional level. His early work was abstract, but Smith soon abandoned schools of art and developed his own unique, colorful style which has subsequently influenced other artists. His work contains worldwide themes and ideas, but the focus of his painting and sculpture remains the hill where he lives and has his studio in Camas.
In his 30 year career, he has had almost 100 solo exhibitions of his work, which includes watercolor, oil, acrylic, bronze, ceramic, and printmaking. Smith has had solo shows across the United States as well as in Europe. His work can be seen public and private collections around the world. A few of Smith's collectors include Jeffrey Katzenberg, Ed Asner, and directors Richard Donner and Richard Carpenter.
Camas Gallery will host an opening reception for Smith on First Friday, April 7, from 5 to 8 p.m. The event is free and open to the public. Light refreshments will be served. Camas Gallery is normally open from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m., Tuesdays through Fridays, and from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturdays. The gallery is location is 408 N.E. 4th Ave. in downtown Camas.

Dr. Mehrdad Shojaei is the featured artist at Camas Gallery from March 1-31. Shojaei serves as a physician at local hospital and, during his time off, travels to beautiful places and stunning habitats to photograph nature's beauty. While Shojaei enjoys his chosen field as a medical doctor, he has turned toward photography as "an exhilarating experience which completes what was missing" from his life. In fact, Shojaei would like to explore the possibility of using photography in the treatment of his medical patients. He believes the use of photography in storytelling can bring profound results in improving the health of patients—to the same degree as music, art, and the companionship of pets.
Camas Gallery will host an opening reception for Shojaei on First Friday, March 3, from 5 to 8 p.m. The event is free and open to the public. Light refreshments will be served. Camas Gallery is normally open from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m., Tuesdays through Fridays, and from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturdays. The gallery is location is 408 N.E. 4th Ave. in downtown Camas.

The beautiful, fluid, vividly colorful and contemporary glasswork of Vicki Green will be on display at Camas Gallery through the month of February. Green's glasswork started with stained glass over 35 years ago after taking a class at a local studio. In 2004, she traveled to Italy and—after watching glass masters create spectacular art and visiting fabulous glass galleries—she returned and learned the art of kiln-formed glass, also called fused glass. Her work consists of functional pieces, display pieces, and a collection of whimsical yard art. Green's work is continually evolving and often expresses her interpretation of natural elements, life experiences, and textiles.
Camas Gallery will have a First Friday reception for Green from 5 to 8 p.m. on Friday, Feb. 3. Complimentary light refreshments will be served and the event is free to the public. Camas Gallery, which is located in downtown Camas at 408 N.E. 4th Ave., is normally open from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Tuesdays through Fridays and from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturdays. For more information, visit www.camasgallery.com or "like" the gallery on Facebook.
You'll get more than a penny for your thoughts at Camas Gallery this January, with the beautiful and painstakingly sculpted "pennyfish" by Matt Gibson, created using a combination of bright copper pennies, wood, and metallic paints. Gibson—whose work will be featured at the gallery through Jan. 31—draws inspiration from his love for nature and his admiration for the way that all life is interdependent. The idea for Gibson's pennyfish was spawned (if you'll pardon the pun) by his interest in the way that local rivers and fish support each other. His use of pennies and other reflective material gives his fish the illusion of movement in a three-dimensional world. His work echoes the beauty that lies beneath the river, drawing the viewer into an underwater world.
Camas Gallery will have a First Friday reception for Gibson from 5 to 8 p.m. on Friday, Jan. 6. Complimentary light refreshments will be served and the event is free to the public. Camas Gallery, which is located in downtown Camas at 408 N.E. 4th Ave., is normally open from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Tuesdays through Fridays and from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturdays.

Turkish Airlines Lands at Wrong Airport

Turk plane mistakenly lands at Georgia base
Wed Apr 8, 2009 4:14pm BST
ISTANBUL (Reuters) - A Turkish Airlines aircraft apparently mistakenly landed at a military air base in Georgia on Wednesday, airport and airline sources said.
Pilot error probably caused the aircraft, travelling from Istanbul to Tbilisi, to land at the base located some 17 kilometres from the main passenger airport, a Turkish Airlines source, who declined to be named, told Reuters.
The Turkish state-run Anatolian news agency said 69 people were on board the Boeing aircraft. An aviation sector official in Istanbul confirmed the aircraft landed at the wrong airport.
"The plane was mistakenly landed at the military airport," the official said, on condition his name not be used. "It could be that the pilot confused the airports."
No further details were immediately available.
Turkish Airlines declined to comment officially on the reported incident.

A DC-8 on a 5000 foot runway. That's must have been fun!
Suddenly, nothing happened again!
You got any tinfoil?
Dizel8 said:
4800 X 75 and it was contaminated with packed snow and ice! The outboard half of the wings including the outboard engines were over the edges of the runway.
Easy mistake to make. The runways have the same orientation, and are almost in line with each other. I believe there's a warning about this on the approach plate.
If you are talking about Oscoda vs Iosco, then I would say that is a pretty big mistake. Oscoda is an ex SAC base, used for B-52's, rwy is very long, Iosco is a small county airport. Been to both, although only Oscoda flying the 8!
However, hats off to the pilot for the landing.

I heard that Connie sent people out to drain fuel out of the airplane and cut down trees so that the airplane could get out and make it the rest of the way to Oscoda...but there are a lot of legends out there.
Antifederalist thought is the built-in American antidote for the ills of the American federal republic.
belchfire said:
It was a BAX dc-8 not Connie. BAX was flying it up to OSC empty for maintenance on the gear. At the time I think Timco was running the show up there.
BAX ended up getting a ferry permit that required a certain amount of headwind component. If I remeber correctly the crew was relieved of their duty and a managment crew came in and flew her out about a week later when the conditions were sufficient.
The local Fire department evacuated most of the homes that were located within the departure path of 26. They used about 3000-4000 feet to get airborne.

Adele's new album is not available to stream, but she may be swimming against the tide
Reposted from the Conversation under a CC BY-ND 4.0 license
By Steven Caldwell Brown, University of Edinburgh
Adele has joined Taylor Swift's ranks in the war against the streaming culture of Spotify and Apple Music. Her latest album, 25, will not be available on these services. A record shop in Tennessee is to open at midnight in anticipation – but I shouldn't expect any queues.
The timing is auspicious: the Mercury Prize is about to be awarded, an annual prize which crowns the best album of the year released by a British or Irish artist or band. The continuance of such a prize and Adele's stand against the emphasis on single tracks privileged by streaming calls into question the contemporary relevance of the album format as an artform.
Think about it. When was the last time you listened to an album? Really listened to an album? Perhaps with headphones, not when jogging, or commuting?
At least as far back as 2004, scholars have proposed that music listening is becoming more passive. Certainly, smartphones and streaming services have encouraged a more song-oriented way of music listening, with tech companies keen to develop the latest and greatest new music subscription service. It is also evident that YouTube is a particularly popular way of discovering and listening to music, which also suggests a disconnect from conventional ways of engaging in the album format. Notably, much of the music on YouTube is in breach of copyright.
But a series of studies from Amanda Krause and colleagues directly challenge the notion that streaming means that music fans are becoming more passive. For instance, active use of shuffle and playlist functions was evident. The authors argued that the more control technology affords, the more complex the patterns of music listening. As reported by the Guardian, a quarter of all songs listened to on Spotify are skipped in the first five seconds. So people clearly know what they don't want to listen to. But does this active interest in music extend to entire albums?
Tech by-product
Despite the appearance that digital music dominates the marketplace, the most recent report from The International Federation of the Phonographic Industry reveals that digital and physical revenues are matched. That is, people are still very much engaged in buying physical albums. But which albums are being bought is clearly changing: the top-selling album of the last year was the official soundtrack to Disney's animated film Frozen.
And the album isn't as embedded in musical culture as we might think. If we rewind a few generations, it was all about singles. The album format only came along later, exemplified with the concept records of the 1970s. This was not an artistic step forward but merely a result of technological advancements, affording musicians more room to create longer recordings.
So it's intriguing that with digital music no longer imposing any time-related barriers, new releases still tend to last roughly around as long as they did when music was primarily consumed on CD. Despite an increasing lack of public interest in albums, the industry hasn't changed its colours. Things do look as though they might be shifting, but this is happening slowly: recent releases from the likes of Godspeed You! Black Emperor and The Smashing Pumpkins (both known for long albums) suggest that musicians themselves are finally buying into the notion that their fans no longer wish to commit to an hour (or more) of auditory indulgence.
But other artists including Radiohead have gone on to release albums after experimenting with the extended player format despite publicly expressing concern over the contemporary relevance of the album. And the Pixies confused fans by bundling songs from three EP's into their comeback album Indie Cindy. The strategy was seen to be a "craven cash-in".
Out of date?
So perhaps the album is a lost and meaningless relic of the past. Stephen Witt goes so far as to argue that it is the album format that is killing the music industry – not music piracy. Reflecting on hip-hop in particular, he argues that albums with filler actually encourage piracy. Why pay for a whole album when you only like a few songs?
Legal services such as Spotify now cater for curious music fans, and Witt explains that though consumers are now less likely to pirate music, they are also less likely to buy albums. Recent research highlights that Spotify in fact decreases both legal and illegal downloads. And, the hoo-hah surrounding Adele's new album suggests that some people have forgotten that music lives in other corners of the internet than just Spotify.
Nevertheless the question marks hanging over the album format are wide-reaching. It has even been proposed that it might be more profitable to release songs than albums.
But although the album format appears to be in crisis, it has appeared this way for over a decade. With the increasing popularity of playlists, it may be that people are strapping in for a different type of long haul, or that the criteria of a "good album" now varies.
If there has been any major shift it has been the emphasis on live concerts rather than recorded music, with established musicians happy to give their albums away for free – this is an effective way of promoting live concert attendance, where most musicians now make most of their earnings.
In any case, it is likely that musicians will continue to create albums and consumers will continue to listen to them simply because that is what was established many years ago. They will also continue to be celebrated with industry awards. And though the artists shortlisted in the Mercury Music Prize are likely to receive a boost in popularity, it will be Adele's new album which will dominate, particularly considering her dismissal of streaming culture.

New Book Notes category
Posted by Glinda on November 5, 2015
I am adding a new category here on the blog.
Anyone who knows me is aware that I am an avid reader, particularly of e-books.
It seems like there has been an explosion in the number of musical biographies and memoirs that are available. From books like Patty Smith's Just Kids or Keith Richard's Gus and Me, we are seeing a plethora of really interesting works by artists. Since I have been buying and reading quite a few of them, I'd like to talk about some of those books in a new Book Notes category.
More to follow on the subject soon!

A Northern Ireland based public transportation company required a relocation of their cable store responsible for signalling and telecommunication for trains in the area. The new site chosen for this store contained some large stances of Japanese Knotweed (JKW) which caused delays in starting the project. We were engaged to provide an option to eradicate the JKW which was both cost and time effective.
As construction was due to begin, common methods of eradication were not ideal as they presented time constraints. A dig and dump of the knotweed is a quick process but carried increasing costs due to landfill charges.
We could have also performed a stem injection method and although effective, requires continued treatment which can take a minimum of 2 years.
In this instance our client opted for our unique Eraginate® process to deal with the infestation. This involved pre-spraying the JKW followed by excavation of all affected soils. Our specially designed process was then used to filter the material, removing any knotweed and allowing the soil to be re-used on site.
All JKW was removed from the site and re-use of the soil was available for backfill or another purpose. This process was completed in 2.5 weeks, ensuring that project deadlines were not affected.

Stop calling Vokacom 'fraud'; it's hurting my business – CEO
Nana Osei Afrifa, CEO of Ghanaian IT firm Vokacom has said attributing fraud to the company in connection with its association with the National Digital Addressing System, is hurting his business.
"I handle about 100 calls a day normally, since the political thing went into it, it's gone to almost 500 calls in a day. My phone is constantly running out of battery, but we have taken it, nobody asked us to go and take a government project, we decided to go and bid for that government project. The unfortunate thing is because some people are attributing fraud when, in fact, there is none to it, some of our partners are beginning to get jittery which is beginning to hurt our business," he told Moro Awudu on Class91.3FM's Executive Breakfast Show on Wednesday, 8 November.
Vokacom has been caught in a political storm over the past three weeks following its development of the GhanaPostGPS app for the digital addressing system in Ghana.
It won a $2.5million (GHS9.9million) contract for the entire project. But critics, including former President John Mahama, who recently described the project as "419" – fraud, have said Ghana could have got the app for free on Google.
According to Nana Osei Afrifa, the bad and highly politicised commentary on the project has compelled the company to come to the fore to explain things to Ghanaians.
"It's actually one of the reasons we are taking some of the frontline in communicating, otherwise we would have sat back but this is beginning to hurt our business," he said, adding: "There are people we do business with outside of this country who read news about Ghana and suddenly they are seeing Vokacom, a company they've been working with all these years, being called fraudulent, it's hurting and this is a Ghanaian business that is doing work, employing Ghanaians and exporting technology out of Ghana and for political expediency, somebody chooses to call me a fraud to destroy my business."
He said it is "very sad that as a country, we can sink to such depths just to destroy each other."
"This is a very very sad situation and it hurts that all the efforts that we put in, the numerous sacrifices, the fact that we've taken profits we were supposed to have made – we are a private business, we make profit from jobs – … and gone and given it to Google and say: 'We know you offer the best mapping experience, we don't want to talk too much, you take our money and let's get this thing going, once Ghanaians accept it, we can always talk about something else.'
He said the bad publicity surrounding the project is affecting his staff, too.
"…For the 40 people who look up to me, in my last meeting, it was visible that our people are getting shaken to their core, we are being called fraudsters, these are people some of whom have worked with me for 10 years and have built their futures into this business. We've committed our everything into this business and then suddenly [because of] $2.5million [we are branded fraudsters].
"I told you we make $10million a year. We go and take a GHS9.9million contract including VAT, including marketing, including tagging and all these things total profit coming to us isn't even making 10% of our profit in a year and because of that [you call me fraud] and simply because of political expediency.
"We are getting people who have made up their minds that they would tear this company down no matter what and I doubt very much it's because they hate me; it has nothing to do with me, nothing to do with the technology… People want to do their politics, please stay on the political level, I don't have a problem, please leave Vokacom out. We are just a company that has come to do a job and to the best of our knowledge, we've done a really good job. Other countries are calling us to come and support them. What we have brought is something completely unique. The way we have changed the digital addressing space is unbelievable. We have revolutionalise the digital addressing space," he told Moro.

Wild Rumour Claims Next-Gen AirPods Case Will Charge your iPhone
Citing an industry source familiar with Apple's plans, a report by Nikkei Asian Review is claiming that Apple will soon allow users to wirelessly charge their iPhones using the AirPods charging case. "The product could be available as soon as the end of this year. However, the schedule is still subject to change" the source told the publication.
Apple has previously hinted at a wireless charging case for AirPods that could also be topped up with the AirPower wireless charging mat, Apple's first "truly wireless" charger expected to hit the shelves later this year. However, the company has never mentioned it will offer wireless iPhone charging through the AirPods case.
The development would add to Apple's much-anticipated AirPower wireless charging mat, unveiled last year and due out soon, bringing chief designer Jony Ive's call in 2016 for a "truly wireless future" a step closer.
While Apple has not revealed exact shipment numbers for the AirPods, Chief Executive Tim Cook has called the accessory a "runaway success." Sales are expected to reach as many as 28 million units this year, according to another industry source familiar with Apple's plan.
Apple did not respond to Nikkei Asian Review's request for comment.
Apple had been intending that AirPower would be ready for a June launch, but "a series of technical hurdles" and "supply-chain challenges" have prevented the launch so far. Recent reports have however claimed that some Apple engineers are already testing the device, meaning a September launch alongside the new iPhones is quite likely.


FOUR WEEKS after the Maryland Post-Gazette terminated left-leaning cartoonist Rob Rogers, the document has employed an content artist through across the politics aisle.
The particular Post-Gazette offers announced that Sam Kelley, the particular veteran conventional cartoonist that has worked within New Orleans and North park, will be the new politics cartoonist. Their first toon as a staffer is planned to appear November. 4.
"I'm excited from the thought of doing work for a newspapers again — being portion of an well-known publication within an increasingly progressing, historic town, " stated Kelley, who had been let go from your New Orleans Times-Picayune this year amid bulk layoffs in Advance Magazines. He ongoing to produce politics cartoons designed for Creators, which usually distributes their editorial function.
As each a syndicated artist as well as a former employees cartoonist, Kelley has suffered in a career in which the variety of such employees positions offers dwindled through hundreds in order to dozens.
"The Post-Gazette's continuing commitment in order to providing the job of a employees political cartoonist stands within distinct comparison to the behavioral instinct of most to lessen costs simply by running syndicated work, " Kelley informed The Wa Post's Amusing Riffs.
A few observers asked yourself whether the Post-Gazette would fill up the full-time slot associated with Rogers, who had been fired within June following a quarter-century on the paper.
Rogers said this season that below publisher Sara Robinson Obstruct, the newspaper's opinion webpages had veered to the politics right given that Donald Trump announced their candidacy.
Rogers, a previous Pulitzer Reward finalist, has been fired within June right after 18 associated with his completed cartoons plus cartoon concepts were slain by their Post-Gazette publishers. That work is certainly spotlighted within the pop-up display "Spiked" on the Corcoran within Washington.
"Rob and I are usually fast close friends for nearly 4 decades, " Kelley said. "We have not voiced in a whilst, and I am very my apologies to see your pet leaving a position he has kept for such a long time.
Kelley declared that the Post-Gazette approached your pet recently which, after discussions by telephone and in individual, he had self-confidence that their work will be supported.
"The paper's author is a long term devotee associated with newspaper comics and politics cartoons, " said Kelley, who is furthermore co-creator from the award-winning California king Features amusing strip "Dustin, " which usually appears much more than three hundred and fifty papers, such as the Post. "He and the publisher expressed the fact that political toons should be hard-hitting and unashamed, shameless, appropriate within tone towards the issue resolved, and, whenever possible, amusing. I think the work inspections all of those containers.
Most of the Rogers cartoons spiked this year satirized either Trump or problems closely connected with him. So how exactly does Kelley experience doing toons in the Trump era?
"My preference happens to be to have politics figures who have make declarative statements instead of those who parse and obfuscate, " Kelley said. "It's easier to interesting of someone exactly who says precisely what he considers anytime the particular impulse gets to his human brain. Unfiltered bombast is the type of gift that will few political figures give mainly because it's unattainable to get selected that way.
Kelley says he's also viewed closely therefore Pulitzer-winning cartoonists as Houston's Nick Anderson have been let it go in recent years.
"It's difficult to sustain optimism whenever you've observed so many magnificent talents let go in the past 10 years, " stated Kelley, who may be also a stand-up comedian. "Certainly I'm sympathetic to newspapers publishers, since they're operating businesses plus must create payroll, even while a lot of advertisement revenue is usually heading to the web.

Agenda & Presentations
Address and Map
The Africa Carbon Forum is organized by the Nairobi Framework partners: the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) along with the UNEP DTU Partnership (UDP), the International Emissions Trading Association (IETA), the World Bank Group (WBG) and the Africa Development Bank (AfDB).
Based in Bonn, Germany, the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) secretariat provides organizational support and technical expertise to the negotiations and institutions of the UNFCCC and the Kyoto Protocol. Included in this mandate is support to the Executive Board of the clean development mechanism (CDM), through which projects in developing countries can earn saleable credits by reducing greenhouse gas emissions. To date, there are more than 7,500 registered projects in 105 countries. The CDM is recognized as a success in spurring investment in climate change mitigation and sustainable development although regional distribution of the projects remains open for improvement.

The United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and its UNEP DTU Partnership (UDP)
is the United Nations' designated entity for addressing environmental issues at the global and regional level. Its mandate is to coordinate the development of environmental policy consensus by keeping the global environment under review and bringing emerging issues to the attention of governments and the international community for action. UNEP's work emphasizes strengthening links between environmental sustainability and economic decision-making, an emerging nexus for public policymaking and market development. In the area of climate change, UNEP's approach aims at reducing barriers to market development, building capacities, and easing the costs and risks of entry of new actors, in both the public and private sectors. As a founding member of the Nairobi Framework, UNEP works on a range of activities to help developing countries become more active in the carbon market and achieve low carbon development.

The International Emissions Trading Association (IETA)
is a non-profit business organization of major companies and the leading voice of this community on emissions trading, whose goal is to ensure that the objectives of the United Nations Convention on Climate Change and, ultimately, climate protection, are met. IETA works for the development of an active, global greenhouse gas market, consistent across national boundaries. IETA currently has over 175 member companies from around the world, including global leaders in oil, electricity, cement, aluminum, chemical, paper and banking; as well as leading firms in the data verification and certification, brokering and trading, legal and consulting industries. IETA members seek to develop an emission's trading regime that results in real and verifiable greenhouse gas emission reductions, balancing economic efficiency with environmental integrity and social equity.

The World Bank Group (WBG)
The World Bank Group has set two goals for the world to achieve by 2030: End extreme poverty by decreasing the percentage of people living on less than $1.90 a day to no more than 3%; and Promote shared prosperity by fostering the income growth of the bottom 40% for every country. It is a vital source of financial and technical assistance to developing countries around the world. The World Bank Group has played a pioneering role in engendering the carbon market, and so far utilized over $2 billion in promoting carbon mitigation projects, including in Africa. The World Bank Group's participation in the Africa Carbon Forum is being coordinated by the Climate Change CCSA, through the CF-Assist Program.

The African Development Bank (AfDB)
is a multilateral development finance institution with the overarching objective of fostering sustainable economic development and social progress in its Regional Member Countries (RMCs), thereby contributing to poverty reduction. The Bank achieves this objective by mobilising and allocating resources for investments in its RMCs and providing policy advice as well as technical assistance to support development efforts. The African Development Bank is presently the largest financier of clean energy on the African continent, having mobilized USD 4.3 billion to support clean energy development between 2007 and 2012.
Contact: Kurt Lonsway, k.lonsway@afdb.org
The United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD)
was established in 1964 and promotes the development-friendly integration of developing countries into the world economy. UNCTAD has progressively evolved into an authoritative knowledge-based institution whose work aims to help shape current policy debates and thinking on development, with a particular focus on ensuring that domestic policies and international action are mutually supportive in bringing about sustainable development. The organization works to fulfill this mandate by carrying out three key functions: (1) It functions as a forum for intergovernmental deliberations, supported by discussions with experts and exchanges of experience, aimed at consensus building; (2) It undertakes research, policy analysis and data collection for the debates of government representatives and experts and (3) It provides technical assistance tailored to the specific requirements of developing countries, with special attention to the needs of the least developed countries and of economies in transition. When appropriate, UNCTAD cooperates with other organizations and donor countries in the delivery of technical assistance.

The principal aim of the Treaty4Project is for students to understand their generation's relationship with Treaty 4 in Saskatchewan, both today and in the future. Through the participation of elders, Indigenous artists, university professors, activists, and education students, the project provides students with a chance to engage with community members and gain the fundamental knowledge they need to tackle very complex issues.
The project was first implemented in 2015 with the support of the Saskatchewan Arts Board and now has two main components. The first is a youth conference for high school students at the First Nations University of Canada, which features workshops, group discussions, and reflections on treaty history and education.
As a new component in 2016, elementary students collaborate with a local artist on a project that explores the concept of reconciliation. Ms. Fortier-Fréçon and Ms. Laing are enthusiastic and dedicated to teaching Canadian history and the Treaty4Project serves as an example of how educators can incorporate meaningful acts of reconciliation in their classroom.

I am so elated to have received my copy of the Press Release that went out a day ago via Balboa Press. To some, this may not be a big deal but for me it is major. It was just two years ago that I thought I might never be creative again or ever find a dream that could resurrect my passion. It was frightening almost more frightening than everything I had gone through. However, luckily a year and a half ago I began to journal what I had experienced within the past seven years and what I was still going through with my best friend. I did not know then that that simple act of journaling would be the catalyst to awaken my creative side. At the same time, my dreamer awoke, and I began to dream the book into existence. Now here I am a year and a half later not only with a book I wrote and published but a book I am proud to present to the world. I wanted to honor the occasion by sharing it with others. Moreover, perhaps remind everyone that their hard times can turn around too and in ways that you would never expect! Thanks for letting me celebrate.
If you care to read it, it is just below as are the dates for my upcoming HayHouseRadio.com interview.
FORT WORTH, Texas — "Loss can either break you open or break you down—your choice," says Joffre McClung , author of "How Learning to Say Goodbye Taught Me How to Live: (A Spiritual Memoir)" (published by Balboa Press). McClung wrote the book while grappling with feelings of impending grief as she witnessed her best friend Rob's battle with cancer. Her memoir deals with bereavement and how she learned to transform feelings of loss into an empowering, life-altering experience.
McClung will be interviewed for Balboa New Voices on HayHouseRadio.com on April 8, 2016, at 4:00 p.m. ET and again on April 15th and April 22nd. The author will discuss her book, which recently received a 5-star review from Readers' Favorite. More information is available at http://www.joffremcclung.com/.
Joffre McClung has been an avid student of spirituality since the early 1980s. As an independent filmmaker, Joffre wrote, produced and directed two films with spiritual themes: "Out of the Blue" (1992) and "Best Wishes" (2002, winner of the Spirit of the West Award). "How Learning to Say Goodbye Taught Me How to Live" was born out of the inner work McClung did to move successfully through the personal losses she experienced over an eight-year period and her determination to reclaim her authentic self. Her desire is to aid others on the spiritual path in understanding the transformational power of loss.

What Will Be the Hot SEO Topics in the Year Ahead?
Every passing year brings subtle changes to the SEO landscape. How will the innovations of 2018 affect the digital marketing strategies of 2019?
One of the most dangerous yet common blunders in the corporate world is to see SEO as a "set it and forget it" procedure, something to which a business can dedicate some one-off time and resources, before sitting back and congratulating itself on a job well done. To be effective, SEO needs to be an ongoing process, with a strategy that is in a constant state of refinement and improvement.
Digital marketing strategies and the corporate SEO services that deliver them are influenced by changing trends, be it in the behaviour of a business's target market, the technology it is using or the algorithms used by Google and other search engines. Here are some of the factors that will play an important role in the year ahead.
The 24/7 nature of online business and the fact that customers favour live chat above all other forms of contact have combined to make chatbots increasingly important. Providing after-hours customer service beyond a list of FAQs means happier customers, better conversions and improved SEO.
AI is one of the most rapidly developing aspects of digital technology, and the ability of chatbots to interact with humans and provide valuable responses is improving by the day.
Anyone who assumed Alexa was going to be the technological equivalent of Chesney Hawkes has been proven wrong. Voice search is here to stay, and has caused some fundamental shifts in the way we approach SEO. Inevitably, people use different phrasing and terminology when speaking than they do when writing a search query. They are more likely to ask a question than to simply say a keyword phrase, in the way they might when typing something into Google.
Exact search terms and long tail keywords are the order of the day when optimising for voice.
Content is king, every SEO knows that. But the form that content is taking is changing rapidly. As social media shares have grown in importance, so has the necessity to create content that truly captures the imagination and gets people talking. Video is always going to trump text content in that respect, and live video even more so.
From the moment the social media platforms started promoting live video content, forward-thinking businesses saw that there was more to this than just teenagers making their friends jealous by streaming footage from a concert. Even for those who think they have more of a face for radio, live video is a tool that will be just too important to ignore in 2019.
While these new dimensions to SEO can make a big difference, they must not be at the expense of the fundamental building blocks. Solid keyword analysis, great content creation and regular monitoring of a site's technical SEO form the foundations on which all else is based. Neglect these, and the whole strategy will go nowhere.


Those that read fully every post and article I write here at Zelda Informer know that I truly love The Adventure of Link. I think it's one of the better games in the entire series. As controversial as that stance may seem, I do truly enjoy the game throughly. So, instead of making another small mention of it in some unrelated post why not just jump to the point? This remix is both a "remix" and a "remastering" of melodies from The Adventure of Link. It's so well done I still have goosebumps on my arm after listening to it. Thanks goes out to AShadowLink for the submission.

A Yu-Gi-Oh! GX, teljes címén  japán sónen animesorozat, a Yu-Gi-Oh! animesorozat spin-offja és folytatása. A Studio Gallop és a Nihon Ad Systems gyártásában készült. Japánban a TV Tokyo vetítette 180 epizódon keresztül 2004. október 6. és 2008. március 26. között, majd a Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's követte. A Yu-Gi-Oh! GX Jaden Yuki (eredetileg Dzsudai Júki) és társai kalandjait követi a Párbajakadémián.

Észak-Amerikában a 4Kids Entertainment licencelte és forgalmazta az amerikai piac igényei szerint megvágva és módosítva a sorozatot. Magyarországon is a 4Kids változata került a televízióba, először - egyetlen saját beszerzésű szinkronos animeként - az A+ vetített le 52 részt (1. évadként) 2005-2007 között, majd 2014. február 7.-étől július elsejéig a Viasat 6 újraszinkronizálva 104 részt tűzött adásba. A Viasat akkori tájékoztatása szerint az egész sorozatot tervezte, de közben - hosszú évekig - leállításra kerültek az anime-beszerzések. Az animéből Kagejama Naojuki készített egy spin-off mangát is.

Történet

A Yu-Gi-Oh! GX cselekménye tíz évvel az eredeti Yu-Gi-Oh!-sorozat eseményei után játszódik. Jaden Yuki (eredetileg Dzsudai Júki) és társai kalandjait követi a Párbajakadémián, egy különleges intézményben, amelyet Kaiba Szeto alapított és a párbajszörnyekkel (Duel Monsters) való küzdelmet és stratégiát oktatja és képezi ki az újoncokat a világ legjobb párbajozóivá. A legtöbb végzős ezután a profi ligát választja hivatásának.

Jaden egy tehetséges, talpraesett fiú, bár ugyanakkor kissé szétszórt jellem is, és utóbbi tulajdonságának köszönhetően majdnem elkésik a Párbajakadémia felvételéről, ahol a felvételizőknek bizonyítaniuk kell rátermettségüket, hogy helyük van az akadémián. A nagy sietségben belebotlik egy nem is olyan régi ismerősbe, Mutó Júgiba. Mikor rádöbben Jaden, hogy a Játékok Királyával találkozott, Yugi sok szerencsét kíván neki és mielőtt továbbindulna neki ajándékoz egy kártyalapot (Szárnyas Kuribo - később megjelenik, mint egy szellem és Jaden barátja és kedvenc lapja lesz). Viszont ennek köszönhetően Jaden értékes másodperceket veszít el és csak hajszál híján érkezik meg a felvételire. A rigorózus Dr. Crowler, nem szereti az ilyen szétszórt jellemeket, de Sheppard igazgató nyomására esélyt kell adni Jaden-nek. A késedelem miatti nem szabályos felvételin Dr. Crowlert, az iskola egyik tanárát kell legyőznie (aki a saját pakliját használja, hogy megleckéztesse és elbuktassa Jadent), hogy bejusson az Akadémiára. A professzor még a legerősebb kártyáját is kijátssza, de Jaden megnyeri a párbajt hála az Elemi Hős kártyáinak és bejut az akadémiára. A felvételin találkozik (későbbi barátaival) Syrus Truesdale-vel és Bastion Misawa-val is.

Az Akadémia három háza, az Obeliszk Kék, a Ra Sárga, és a Slifer Vörös közül a legalacsonyabb besorolású Slifer Vörösbe jut be, mivel az írási teszten nem teljesített jól (nem szeret tanulni, de kiváló párbajozó). Jadent azonban ez nem zavarja, mert neki csak egy cél lebeg a szeme előtt, hogy ő legyen a legjobb párbajozó, a következő Játékok Királya.

Jaden számos új barátra, támogatóra és ellenségre lel, utóbbiak kezdetben Dr. Crowler és az Obeliszk Kék ház néhány diákja közül kerülnek ki. Crowler a felvételin elszenvedett sérelemért kíván elégtételt venni Jadenen, de később elismeri a fiú tehetségét. A sorozat előrehaladtával felbukkannak a valódi ellenfelek is, mint az árnyéklovasok (1. évad) vagy a Fény Közössége (2. évad), Yubel (3. évad), Éjárny (4. évad).

Gyártás
A Yu-Gi-Oh! GX-et a Studio Gallop és a Nihon Ad Systems készítette Cudzsi Hacuki rendezésében. A szöveget váltakozó felállásban Josida Sin, Maekava Dzsun, Omode Akemi és Szuzuki Jaszujuki írták, a zenét Minobe Jutaka szerezte. A zenei rendező Hiramicu Takuja volt Micuja Júdzsi felügyelete alatt. A szereplőket és a szörnyeket Hara Kenicsi felügyelte alatt alkották meg, míg a párbajok menetének összeállítását Hikokubo Maszahiro felügyelete. A "GX" a sorozat címében, a "Generation neXt" (következő generáció) szavakból származik, néhány korai promóciós anyagban "GENEX"-ként lelhető fel. A "GX" utal még a 84. és 104. rész között lezajlódó GX viadalra is. Az eredeti epizódokban kezdetben kettő, később egy reklámmegszakítás található. A következő rész tartalmát KENN és Szuzuki Maszami mondják el, amelyet a "Nap legerősebb kártyája" bejátszás követ.

Médiamegjelenések

Anime

Az animesorozat a Studio Gallop és a Nihon Ad Systems gyártásában készült. Japánban a TV Tokyo vetítette 180 epizódon keresztül 2004. október 6. és 2008. március 26. között, majd a Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's követte.

Észak-Amerikában a 4Kids Entertainment licencelte és forgalmazta és a Cartoon Network, valamint a 4Kids TV vetítette. A sorozatot az amerikai piac igényei szerint megvágvágták és módosították. Megváltoztatták a szereplők neveit és bizonyos jellemzőiket, a zenei anyagot és a hangeffekteket és néhány vizuális elemet, mint például az életpontszámláló vagy néhány kártya megjelenését. A történetből és a képi látványból eltávolították a halálra, vérre, erőszakra és vallásra utaló elemeket, hogy jobban megfeleljen a fiatalabb korosztály számára. Az írott szöveget, mind a japán, mind az angol nyelvűt, törölték vagy olvashatatlanná tették. Számos országban a 4Kids változata lett bemutatva. Az angol nyelvű epizódokat a YouTube csatornájára is feltöltötte a 4Kids, és egészen 2011. március 29-ig elérhető volt. Ekkor azonban a Nihon Ad Systems és a TV Tokyo beperelte a 4Kidset szerződésszegésért és a Funimationnel kötött titkos megállapodásai miatt, és visszavonta a Yu-Gi-Oh!-franchise-ra vonatkozó jogait. A Yu-Gi-Oh! GX-ből a 157. résszel kezdődő negyedik évad már nem kapott angol szinkront, hanem 2008 szeptemberében a Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's észak-amerikai adása váltotta.

Manga

A spin-off mangasorzatot Takahasi Kazuki felügyelete mellett Kagejama Naojuki írta és rajzolta. Az első fejezet a V-Jump magazinban jelent meg 2005. december 17-én, az utolsó, 64. pedig 2011. március 19-én. Az egyes fejezeteket kilenc tankóbon kötetbe gyűjtve a Shueisha adta ki 2006. november 6. és 2011. június 3. között. Az angol nyelvű kiadás jogait a Viz Media szerezte meg, amely az első 37 fejezetet publikálta a Shonen Jump magazinjában. A többi fejezet illusztrált regény formájában jelent meg, az 5. kötettől kezdődően. A manga cselekménye az eredeti Yu-Gi-Oh! sorozat folytatása és főként az Árnyjátékokra és az Ezeréves Kirakósra fókuszál. Új szörnyek is megjelennek a mangában és néhány szereplő jellemzői is megváltoztak. Az eredeti Yu-Gi-Oh! mangával ellentétben, az angol nyelvű manga a 4Kids szinkronizált változatából veszi át a neveket. Egy one-shot GX manga is megjelent, szintén Kagejama Naojuki munkájaként, a V-Jump 2014 augusztusi számában, amit 2014. június 21-én kezdtek értékesíteni.

Videójátékok

Több Yu-Gi-Oh! GX-en alapuló videójáték jelent meg a Konami fejlesztésében és kiadásában.

Két játékot adtak ki Game Boy Advance-re, a Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters GX Aim to be Duel King!-et és a Yu-Gi-Oh Duel Monsters Expert 2006-ot.

Nintendo DS-re négy játék jelent meg: Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters Nightmare Troubadour, Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters GX Spirit Summoner, Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters World Championship 2007 és Yu-Gi-Oh! World Championship 2008. A Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters GX Card Almanac valójában nem egy játék, hanem egy kártyakatalógus, amely a 2007-ig megjelent kártyákat tartalmazza.

PlayStation Portable-re adták ki a Tag Force sorozatot, amelyből az első három játék alapul a GX-en (a többi a 5D's-en). A címek a következők: Yu-Gi-Oh! GX Tag Force, Yu-Gi-Oh! GX Tag Force 2 és Yu-Gi-Oh! GX Tag Force 3. Az első játék PlayStation 2-re is elérhető Yu-Gi-Oh! GX: Tag Force Evolution címen. A Tag Force 3 Észak-Amerikában nem került piacra, viszont Európában igen.

Magazin
2007-ben az Eaglemoss elkezdett kiadni egy Yu-Gi-Oh! GX franchise-on alapuló magazint Yu-Gi-Oh! GX Ultimate Guide címmel. 2007 és 2009 között összesen 61 számot ért meg. A magazinhoz különböző gyűjthető termékek, mint medálok, fényes vagy holografikus "háromszögek" és  szörnyek miniatúrái is megjelentek.

Paródia
 művész De-I-Ko! GX (犬☆眉☆毛DE-I-KO! GX) című képregényében parodizálta a Yu-Gi-Oh! GX-et. A paródiát 2009. június 25-én publikálta a V-Jump.

Fogadtatás
Az Anime-Planet kritizálta a történet és a szereplők "laposságát", külön kiemelve, hogy szinte mindent a "forrófejű idióta" főszereplő irányít, aki "mindenre vidáman reagál és természetes képessége a játék". A történeten belül a harmadik és negyedik évadot élvezte a legkevésbé, ami szerinte "megöli" a sorozatot, mivel új szereplőkkel helyettesít több, az első két évadban megkedvelt szereplőt. A kritikus "rettenetesnek" nevezte az angol szinkront, de dicsérte az eredeti japán dalokat és pozitívan értékelte az animációt és a hanghatásokat.

These simple three ingredient Sautéed Cinnamon Apples are Paleo, Vegan, and Whole30 compliant. No added sugar or sweeteners, dairy free, gluten free, and DELICIOUS! Top these cinnamon apples with unsweetened coconut flakes or crunchy chopped pecans for a quick and easy breakfast or dessert. This post contains affiliate links, thank you for your support.
I had been thinking about it for the week leading up because I knew the first was around the corner and the month of September has a nice, neat 30 days total. I was re-reading the The Whole30 Guide and trying (without much luck) to convince James we should do it.
I woke up on Aug 31, thinking it was Sept 1, and that I had already blown my plan before breakfast. (Hello there 6 tsp of sugar + 1/4 cup cream in my coffee…) It wasn't until 9pm that night I realized it wasn't actually the first and I still had time to commit. I think I was more terrified than excited about that realization.
But here we are. Five days in and I haven't starved to death yet. James is very begrudgingly onboard and it has been so helpful to have a partner through it to cook with (and wash ALL.THE.DISHES.) and keep me strong.
We went out to eat for Sophia's birthday Saturday night and it became a challenge between the two of us to find a compliant meal on the menu. He settled for a salad (no cheese or candied pecans) and I had a (sad) burger (sans cheese and bun) with roasted potatoes.
After five days without cheese and butter, I have decided these are gifts from the Lord and I fully intend to reintroduce them back in. (Ha.) I'm also greatly missing whole-grain tortillas and oatmeal. And beans… never thought I would say that.
This is not a sustainable diet that I plan to continue with forever, but it has been eye opening to me about the power of sugar and the skill of mindful eating. I would be ecstatic if I lost a few lbs or if my skin cleared up, but my main goal for this challenge is to slay the sugar dragon.
Kidding. I would not trade my precious children for bread. Maybe a croissant. Or a doughnut. Possibly a hot buttered roll.
So, if you are on the Whole30 bandwagon make yourself a batch of these DELICIOUS and Whole30 compliant Sautéed Cinnamon Apples. They are akin to the baked cinnamon apples you get at some restaurants, but without all of the fake syrupy sugar liquid.
I prefer my sautéed cinnamon apples to be closer to al dente in texture. I want them to still have a slightly firm bite and not be completely soft and mushy. The length you cook these will determine their degree of softness.
Honestly this entire recipe for sautéed cinnamon apples is very fluid; add more or less coconut oil depending on how quickly it cooks off, and feel free to add more or less cinnamon depending how spiced you want them. Swap out apple pie spice in place of the cinnamon if you wish. Sprinkle in some cardamon. Top them with unsweetened coconut flakes or crunchy pecans and enjoy for breakfast or dessert! Whole30 has definitely reminded me to be brave in the kitchen and utilize spices!
I like to use Honeycrisp apples because they are super crisp with a sweet and juicy flavor. I have not tried this recipe with any other apple variation, but the results should be similar regardless if you swap out for your favorite. Pink Lady apples might be a good substitute.
If you're not partaking in a Whole30 challenge, still make these! These sautéed cinnamon apples are sweet and tart and filling; you seriously won't miss the sugar. I can't wait to try them as a topping for my favorite Snickerdoodle Oatmeal.
p.s. I can't recommend this handy tool enough to cut apples and remove the core in one easy step. I use this Apple Slicer, Corer, and Divider ALL.THE.TIME when I cut apples for my kids to snack on.
These simple three ingredient sautéed cinnamon apples are Paleo, Vegan, and Whole30 compliant. No added sugar or sweeteners, dairy free, gluten free, and DELICIOUS!
Peel the apples and remove the core. Cut apples into uniform bite-sized pieces.
Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the apples are your desired tenderness.
I use honeycrisp apples in this recipe. I cooked my apples for about 5-7 minutes, I like mine fork tender but on the softer side. Add more cinnamon to your liking. Try to keep your apple pieces uniform in size so they all cook at the same time. Use a pan large enough to keep them mostly in a single layer.
*One more tip: I list the salt as optional, but please don't be afraid to add it in unless you have a dietary restriction that requires you to omit it. Don't think that by adding a tiny sprinkling of salt you will make this dish salty. Salt gives food a salty flavor only after using a significant amount. In appropriate amounts, salt actually helps to magnify flavors by subtly enhancing the natural taste of the ingredients. That's why most baking recipes, like cookies or pancakes, always call for a pinch of salt.
I made these tonight. They are absolutely wonderful. Thank you for the recipe.
I love them! Great recipe! Thanks!
That was so delish! You were right about a little salt. Amazing!
Thank you ! This is a keeper after the thirty days!
Just made this for the first time tonight. It was delicious! I'm on day 29 and will definitely be making this in the future. Thanks!
Congrats on your Whole30 adventure, Kathy! So glad you enjoyed them.
