Malahide Castle & Gardens
Built by the Talbot family in 1185, this castle now belongs to the Irish State but has kept its beautiful wood-carved interiors and is said to be the most haunted castle in Ireland.
This castle belonged to the Talbot family for almost 791 continual years, from its creation in 1185 to 1976. There was only a small gap in ownership when Cromwell gave it to a friend of his in the 17th century. The land was given to Richard Talbot by Henry II, and the original building was made of wood before being quickly changed to stone. Its towers, added in 1765, have crenellations and give the castle a fairytale air. You'll have to take a guided tour to visit the castle, starting in the 16th-century Oak Room which has six Biblical scenes carved into the walls, copied from Raphael's Vatican frescoes, and Egyptian motifs on the fireplace. Upstairs, the bedrooms have been redecorated in their original style, and the drawing room walls are painted in an inventive orange terracotta colour that became known as Malahide Orange. The Great Hall, built in 1475, has portraits lent from the National Gallery and there's a painting of the Battle of the Boyne (1690), in which 14 members of the Talbot family died.
When the 7th Baron Talbot died in 1973, he passed the estate to his sister, Rose, who then sold the castle to the Irish State. It's rumoured to be the most haunted castle in Ireland, and if you're brave enough, you might enjoy the special ghost tours at Hallowe'en. For something a bit tamer, try the Fairy Trail: a 1.8 kilometre trail with sculptures, fairy houses, and questions for kids around the castle grounds. Malahide has 260 acres of parkland with a Cedar of Lebanon and Chinese Ginkgo trees. Its walled gardens are one of the only four botanical gardens in Ireland, including a Rose Garden, grass parterre and Victorian Conservatory. You'll also find Ireland's only butterfly house here, with 20 species of butterfly from all around the world, and the Casino Model Railway Museum in one of the Talbot's old hunting lodges.

Fruits Basket – 04 – Boarish Manners
That meek, soft-spoken girl at the door who wants to see Ryou? Uh, she's not so meek once she sees him for the first time in four months. She delivers upon him a beatdown the likes of which we'd yet to see if this series, far beyond his sparring with Yuki. Turns out that's just how Souma Kagura expresses her affection…with extreme prejudice. Her two-sided personality is voiced by the supremely talented Kugimiya Rie.
Kyou's two years older, self-professed fiancee (based on a promise he made at knife-point when they were kids), Kagura demands to know where she stands, and doesn't like how there's another woman living in his house, albeit one who can't hug him without making him turn into a cat. Since they're both Soumas and Zodiac animals, she can hug him freely.
Kagura is clearly much stronger than Kyou, and so basically rolls himself into a ball and endures her savage beatings, but he dares to silence her when she starts mentioning his "true form" to Tooru. As someone who hasn't yet found her first love, Tooru can't help but feel a little jealous that Kagura loves someone as deeply as she does.
Repairing the substantial damage to Shigure's house takes up much of the day (especially with Shigure and Yuki pointedly not helping), and before long, Kyou's stomach starts to grumble. Tooru offers to start dinner, as is routine, but Kagura stops her in her tracks. Tonight, she'll be the one to feed her beloved Kyou. The resulting feast reduces the food supply in the fridge to nothing, but as seems to be Kagura's M.O., she got a little carried away.
As good as the food looked, part of me expected it to taste vile or some such, but nobody even gets to eat any of it, as Kyou snaps at Kagura when she says it's ready, and she responds by driving him through the floor and onto the feast, ruining it all. With no other food to cook, Kagura heads out to the grocery store in a huff.
It isn't until she's at the checkout that she realizes she left her purse at home, but Tooru bails her out by paying for her, and the two women walk home together. When asked, Tooru specifies her "love" the sign of the Cat more than overt romantic love for Kyou himself, and is "humbled" by the extent of Kagura's love.
Here we have another example of Tooru not judging someone as volatile as Kagura, but rather believing in her and her long-standing love for Kyou. Kagura in turn thanks Tooru for coming for her, and the two make hamburger steaks together. This time, when everything is ready, Tooru climbs up to the roof to tell Kyou.
Up there, she tells him how lucky he is that someone cares for him and worries about him so much—not surprising, coming from someone who was loved by her parents, but lost them far too soon.
She also brings up peoples' dreams, whether Kagura's dream of marriage to someone she can truly embrace, to Kyou's love of martial arts. Tooru sees another side of Kyou as he lights up talking about martial arts. It's clearly not just about beating Yuki, but becoming better and better at it.
When Tooru gets Kyou to come down to eat, Kagura presents him with a hamburger steak a little different from the others: his has a fried egg on top, like the fried egg he was drawing in the sand when they first met, which was when Kagura basically fell for him. Kyou tastes his dinner and through his sheepish silence expresses his approval and thanks.
The next morning, Kagura has to leave, and bids Kyou farewell with a big hug, followed by one last beatdown. Kyou says some unkind words, and Kagura responds by punching through the front door…and straight into the chest of the paperboy.
Yuki manages to distract the civilian, but Tooru finally learns that Kagura is the sign of the Boar—very appropriate considering her propensity for charging headlong towards her goals. When Tooru compliments her as the cutest boar anyone could ever ask for, she transforms back into a woman—a naked woman, on Kyou's back.
That brings us to a cliffhanger that threatens the relative peace of the last four episodes, as well as the status as Tooru's new home and life. She gets a call from her grandfather, and the contents of the message are enough of a shock for her to drop the gardening books she checked out. Is Tooru doomed to lose everything once more, after an all-too-brief taste of happiness?

TenSura – 07 – Song of Slime and Fire
While sleeping in Rimuru's goblin village, Shizu dreams of her wretched past, from when she was summoned from WWII-era Japan, was merged with Ifrit, and then essentially became a living weapon for the Demon Lord, who with one gaze can command her to destroy anyone from an interloping giant chicken to her poor friend and their unauthorized furry friend.
Waking up from a dream like that, it's no surprise Shizu tries to make haste in leaving the village and her new friends behind, before the time comes when she can't control the destructive power flowing within her. Unfortunately, her goodbyes run a bit too long, and Ifrit awakens in all his terrible fiery glory…right next to Rimuru's newly rebuilt village.
To their credit, the experienced three-person party of adventurers don't run, but try to fight to get their friend Shizu back, but Rimuru can tell they're hopelessly under-leveled against a boss like Ifrit. However, Eren's ice attack proves useful when Rimuru makes her use it agains thim and he analyzes and perfects it into a more powerful attack, which takes out all of Ifrit's minions.
Ifrit counters by cloning himself dozens of times and surrounding Rimuru. When Rimuru takes the bait and blasts the clones with ice, Ifrit reveals a magic circle just beneath the slime, and casts Flare, enveloping Rimmy in a column of flame visible for miles around. The thing is…Rimuru is immune to fire, which means Ifrit is absolutely no threat, at least to the slime.
With that, Rimuru casts Predator and swallows Ifrit up where he joins Veldora in the void of the slime's vast internal storage facility. Glad Veldora isn't alone in there anymore! I have to admit I've missed the big guy ever since Rimuru ate him. In Ifrit's place lies an unconscious but intact Shizu. Did Rimuru inadvertently free her from the curse she's carried for decades?

Hinamatsuri – 01 – Not Your Average Brat (First Impressions)
Nitta Yoshifumi is your typical low-to-mid-level yakuza, doing pretty well for himself without getting his hands bloody, preferring the art hustle to less civilized ventures. He has a fine condo with fine furniture, fine objets d'art, and fine wine.
Then quite suddenly (as these things tend to happen), a strange metal egg with a face falls from above. Nitta decides to pretend its not there and go to bed. But of course, it's still there in the morning, and he presses the red button as the face instructs to reveal Hina, a blue-haired brat with telekinetic powers.
Nitta…goes with it. I mean, Hina doesn't give him much choice, wordlessly threatening to destroy all the fine things he owns unless he acquiesces to her demands, which range from "clothes" of any kind to cover her up, to over eight thousand dollars worth of merch at the mall.
Hina isn't the expressive sort, but lots of TV-watching gives her a vocabulary Nitta can immediately identify when she uses it. He finds himself feeling like a caregiver all of a sudden, rather than somebody only in this life for himself and his organization.
When Hina decides she's going to school, Nitta gets her to promise not to use her powers, lest chaos ensue. As Hina makes a fine first impression by forgetting her assumed last name, then sleeps through every class, Nitta wrings his hands at a meeting with his fellow yakuza, worried about how she's doing—and they misinterpret his intensity for being gung-ho about taking on a rival group.
Well, chaos ensues anyway, because she neglects to tell him that if she doesn't use her powers for too long, the power builds up and explodes, trashing his whole place. I loved the suddenness with which this escalated.
Since she has to use her powers anyway, Nitta tries to find a practical use for them, and finds one in a forest-clearing job for a shady developer. Uprooting mature trees, cleanly stripping their branches, foliage, and bark, and filling the holes in the ground is child's play to Hina, who privately wonders why this Nitta guy is being so nice and not ordering her to kill people.
Nitta makes a killing on the tree job, but gets no congratulations from the Chief, because in his absence the Boss got shot, requiring their group to respond in kind. Nitta doesn't even think of taking Hina with him, but resolves to take care of it himself, despite lacking any credible bona fides in the violence department.
Hina tags along (and scares the shit out of Nitta in the car) of her own volition, asking him why he won't give her orders to kill the men in the building. Nitta's all-too-decent response is a revelation to Hina: "Why should you have to do that? This has nothing to do with you!" Touched that he cares for her, she smirks and decides to take care of business without orders.
Hina is as efficient at clearing out the rival groups' hideout and serving up their boss as she was clearing the forest, and we listen along with Nitta to the screams and grunts of the building's occupants as she goes floor-to-floor, tossing every peron and piece of furniture out into the street (though notably never hitting Nitta with anything).
Everybody wins: Nitta is promoted for his excellent work (he neglects to mention his "brat" did it all; not that he wants it known she has powers), and Hina gets to exercise her telekinetic valves. Nitta generously rewards her (another concept unfamiliar to Hina from her previous life) with the finest kind of her so-far favorite food (red caviar), and the two settle into a mutually beneficial situation.
Post-credits, Nitta accidentally locks himself in the metal egg Hina arrived in, and Hina exacts a bit of revenge by leaving him in there all night, only releasing him in the morning after he'd wet himself (the moment of his release is played exactly like Ahnold's arrival in Terminator, only with a cloud of piss.)
Hinamatsuri is a ton of fun. It's also an absolute hoot. I was snickering or laughing for virtually the entire run time, as Nitta's reactions to Hina's deadpan remarks were constantly entertaining, as was the physical comedy of the telekinetic hi-jinx. There were too many hilarious lines to list.
The show has a marvelous sense of comedic timing in both dialogue and editing, but the comedy never overshadows what is, at its heart, a warm and sincere story of a man who suddenly has someone to care about, and a former human weapon who suddenly has the freedom to be a normal girl, even if she occasionally has to literally blow off some steam. I'm on board!

Citrus – 07
Yuzu needs to score in the top 100 if she wants Mei and Gramps off her back, but she can't concentrate after her last kiss with Mei, which felt different and more meaningful. Alas, Mei withdraws to the outmoded "we're both girls" and more reasonable "we're sisters, so we should stop this."
Yuzu is devastated, because she takes Mei at her word; in reality there's a lot of doubt behind Mei's supposed certainty, as we'll see later in the ep. Good Ol' Harumin is there to console Yuzu with an after-school arcade session where commentary on her getting a game over matches commentary about her Mei dilemma.
Then THE DEVIL takes the stage. Satan has many forms, but chooses a pleasing and seemingly harmless one in Mizusawa Matsuri, Yuzu's childhood friend. Now where have I heard of an anime in which one relationship is suddenly put at risk by a meddling childhood friend? Oh yeah, pretty much all of them.
Subtlety is not Matsuri's strong suit, with her devil-may-care headphones, bubble gum (and bubble gum pink hair), and seiyu Izawa Shiori's trademark apathetic drone. Because Yuzu is a sweet, innocent, kind person, she's a sitting duck for Matsuri, who is not the girl Yuzu remembers, if she ever was.
Harumin immediately senses Pinky is BAD NEWS, even before Matsuri brings up her part-time job of sexting dirty old men, despite being in seventh grade. And yet Matsuri shows how skillful she is at manipulating people like Yuzu even with Harumin ostensibly in the way.
Matsuri snatches Yuzu's phone and steals a picture of her with Mei, then drags Yuzu and Harumi to a karaoke when Yuzu is supposed to be buying things to make dinner. But she's too nice to say "gotta go" to her former little-sister figure.
Worse still, Harumi suddenly has to duck out to take care of a family matter (part of me thought Matsuri sent her a false message), leaving Matsuri all alone with Yuzu. Matsuri promptly confesses her love and tries to kiss Yuzu, and is interrupted by a call from Mei asking about dinner.
Later, when Mei and Yuzu nearly cross paths at an intersection, Matsuri pulls Yuzu aside and kisses her in full view of Mei, whom Yuzu never saw. Frankly the coincidence and perfect execution of Matsuri's fuck-you to Mei are a bit much; We get it, she's pink scum.
Back home, Mei is less angry at Yuzu than I expected, which actually makes sense since Mei realizes she is the one who told Yuzu everything was over when it clearly wasn't. When Yuzu is just to cute for her to resist any longer, Mei comes at her from behind and licks her neck, literally marking the Yuzu she won't share with pink-haired interlopers.
Of course, Mei is almost as ill-equipped to deal with Matsuri as Yuzu, since she's being driven primarily by emotions. Mizusawa Matsuri may say she loves Yuzu but I don't think she loves anyone, except maybe Mizusawa Matsuri. The show introduced her as someone who manipulates people for the hell of it. Whether she derives fun, I can't say; maybe this is all she thinks she can do.
The show is not yet ready to portray her as anything other than a villain so far, brazenly invading Yuzu and Mei's school and making a big fuss about going on an after-school date. Mei shoos her off, but Matsuri won't give up easily. We'll see if Matsuri's story gets a little more nuance and dimension like Hime's, because right now, if she had a pink mustache, she'd be twirling it.

Inuyashiki – 10
Turns out the woman, father, and baby we met last week weren't the ones in the plane that crashed. Hiro has taken control of dozens, many of which find targets on the ground below, but Ichirou is finally able to take action, commandeering and soft-landing ten planes in the bay – including the one with the woman, father and baby.
But Hiro has already caused much carnage, and hundreds if not thousands of casualties. And perhaps more pressing to Ichirou, Mari calls him to say she's trapped atop city hall in the observation deck, where there's a fire raging and where oxygen is running out.
Ichirou could probably save Mari and the others in City Hall in two shakes of a lamb's tail, but there's a problem: Hiro has found him. In their first encounter, he bolted as soon as Ichirou got up from Hiro's bang; here, he wants answers, and isn't satisfied with the ones he gets.
Hiro is upset that he's the villain, while the old man is the hero, and so lashes out like a child would, first by grappling with Ichirou, then by bang-bang-banging him mercilessly. Finally, Ichirou counters with a bang of his own, but Hiro is only momentarily stunned.
As previewed in the show's OP, a no-hold-barred battle between Hiro and Ichirou, nobody wins or loses except the city crumbling around and below them. When they've finally beaten and blasted each other unconscious, their "fail-safe"/"autopilot" systems kick in.
It's here where it's indicated that for all of the carnage and mayhem Hiro has caused, Ichirou's system may be the superior of the two, and not necessarily due to any mechanical differences. Rather, because the original human that was copied by the mysterious aliens was older and more experienced.
This enables Autopilot Ichirou to destroy the hapless $100 billion space station in orbit and use the falling debris as cover for a sneak attack. He essentially scalps and literally "dis-arms" Hiro, and both fall back to earth with a crash and a splash.
At this point, I didn't have very high hopes for Mari's survival, and indeed she looks to have succumbed to smoke inhalation and asphyxia by the time Ichirou finally arrives. We watch him quickly descend into a new sub-level of despair as Mari's life flashes before his eyes, but after much perseverance he manages to revive her.
Mari reacts to learning her father came when she needed him most with a big hug and a lot of tears. There's no time fo Ichirou to explain or try to hide what he is; he must save the rest of the sightseers atop the building, including Nao, and after sending Mari home, he's all over the city, saving as many as he can as those around him call him "god".
Meanwhile, Hiro's in a bad way, but he's obviously not dead. Two good Samaritans encounter find him in an alley, and when he manages to mutter "water", they give him some juice from the nearby vending machine, unwittingly helping a potential country-destroyer get back in the game.
I hope Ichirou realizes it isn't ovr between him and Hiro, and that he isn't so caught up in helping strangers that he neglects his family's safety.

The day after he kills an entire gaggle of press and an entire station full of police, Shishigami Hiro is all everyone is talking about. Due to his attractiveness, a number of fan clubs crop up, and many girls aren't ashamed to voice their admiration for him. It's a chilling reminder that this kind of "villain worship" happens in real life all the time.
Meanwhile, Hiro hacks all screens in Japan and makes an announcement: because Japan will never stop hunting him, he has declared the entire country of 120-odd million his enemy, and intends to kill every last one of them. He starts picking off targets from his rooftop vantage point, but also uses the screens of televisions and smartphones to execute people.
Andou gets Ichirou to send a hack of his own warning people to put away their smartphones, but it's too late. In a half an hour, 100 have been murdered. He intends to kill 1,000 tomorrow and cheerfully asks the people to "look forward to it" before signing off.
Needless to say, it was hard to watch Hiro "gun" down throngs of people down in one of the busiest business districts in the world, and a place I spent a lot of time walking around. That sinking feeling is made worst by the fact he knows Chakko betrayed him (but wrongly believes he's working with the police).
Hiro has also completely lost whatever goodwill he had with Shion. When he contacts her she begs him to stop the killing, but he responds as a machine would: there's a problem, and they can't live together in peace until he's fixed it. He talks of eliminating Japan with the detached urgency one speaks of tying one's unlaced shoe.
I doubt it will be long before even Andou and Shion enter Hiro's crosshairs. The next day, as anticipation mounts as to whether, when, and how he'll kill 1,000, we watch a pretty young woman board a plane, and once in the air, pacify a baby with a YouTube video.
Meanwhile, Mari is playing hooky with her friends in Shinjuku, but wants to keep the promise to come home with a treat for her dad's dog. With Andou using Ichirou's last name so often during their phone convos, it's only a matter of time before Ichirou's family is at risk too.
All the while, Mari seems to suspect/realize her father is the hero trying to stop Hiro, but is so unused to communicating with him she can't seem to bring it up to him, or even thank him for going to bat for her over her future.
But that's assuming she, and the rest of Japan, have a future. That plane with the woman and the baby? Hiro pulls it down in the middle of Shinjuku, in a sickening echo of 9/11. As his destructive capabilities increase, 10,000 dead tomorrow isn't outside the realm of possibility.
Ichirou HAS to find him and stop him. But right now, he seems over-matched and overwhelmed, and it's hard to blame him. If there's a mark against this episode, it's how ineffectual and unprepared Ichirou was against Hiro's slaughter. He sent Andou's warning to phones, but that just wasn't enough.

In a change of pace both neat and foreboding, Girls' Last Tour ditches its usual cute OP in favor of giving us a couple more minutes of "Life." Chito and Yuuri enter another vast, city-sized facility, and while they assume they're the only ones Alive for miles around, the facility is still "alive" with a lowecase "a" due to the lights, fans, pumps, and other various machines still working, even after the civilization that built them fell.
They also find a fellow "living thing" in a single, solitary fish, the last fish in a facility that probably churned them out in the billions in its prime. That single fish is kept alive by the one maintenance robot still functioning, much like the robot in Castle in the Sky, many of its not-so-lucky robot colleagues were not so lucky. Last tank, last fish, last maintenance robot voiced by Kamiya Hiroshi (I think?), and two of the last girls…it's like a last convention, complete with pool facilities.
Free spirit Yuuri is all too comfortable skinny dipping, but Chito keeps her skivvies on in the presence of the robot, even though his "empathy" is just sophisticated software. But being in the presence of such complex electronic and mechanical systems that still function have Chito and Yuuri constantly wondering what "life" really is. That's driven home by an effective fast-paced montage of all of the various patterns of sound that emulate the functions of organic life forms.
The fact that evolution bred from rebirth and change is required for life is also explored, with the only other robot at the facility being responsible for constructing or deconstructing parts of the facility as its programming dictates. When that includes the aquarium where the last fish lives, Yuuri spearheads an effort to stop the giant 'bot.
While there was an early running joke of Yuuri constantly saying they should just eat the damn fish, she gradually develops empathy for it, to the point she's pulling some Mission Impossible-type shit to strap explosives to the giant robot, bringing it down.
In doing so, Yuuri may have saved the fish and its attendant for now, but without the giant robot the facility will no longer change or evolve. The last robot will cease functioning, the last fish will die, and one by one the last functioning systems in the facility will shut down, in time. And since everything is the last of its kind, that will be all she wrote; no more "life."
It's a stirringly bittersweet close, as Yuuri and Chito themselves serve as "mutations" in a system that looked poised to self-destruct anyway (when the giant robot destroyed the fish's home) before continuing their tour. They mostly agree that "life" means something that has an end…which this episode does with a classic credit roll with a haunting new piece of music.

Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans – 38
This episode teases us a bit by jumping from the beginning of Mika's battle with Hashmal to "One Month Later", but thankfully Orga's talk with McMurdo is a vehicle for rehashing that battle, which is one of the more vicious ones we've seen.
For perhaps the first time, an opponent is able to keep up with Mika, push him back, and do a ridiculous amount of damage, such that Mika truly has to pull out all the stops (and borrow Isurugi's ludicrously huge sword) to get the job done. And he does: it's immensely satisfying to hear the smash of Hashmal finally hitting the ground, out for the count.
McMurdo, like Naze before, gives Orga a polite — for now — warning not to let his interests clash with Teiwaz's, because his life won't be the only one to be forfeit. With each battle, it becomes more and more impossible for Orga to deviate from his forward path to dominion over Mars, as more and more alternate avenues close around him and Tekkadan.
In another satisfying scene, Master Rustal all but drops his alliance with an increasingly chaotic Iok Kujan, and in doing so, gains a lot more respect from me. Rustal wants to rid himself of McGillis, but he's not going to operate, or continue to allow someone like Iok, to work outside of the established ideals of Gjallarhorn; i.e. to protect order.
This is why Rustal gives Iok the cold shoulder at the meeting of the Seven Stars, congratulates Fareed for his hard-won victory, and bides his time. Like Iok, Julieta wants to act and act fast, but she's at least able to take dierection from Rustal better.
What he wants from her isn't mere brute strength like Mikazuki Augus; he wants something more; perhaps something that will endure longer than a bright-yet-brief flame. Julie is willing to try to find out what that is.
As for Mika, he continues to sacrifice pieces of himself, almost exclusively for Orga's sake. One could argue Orga has the power to stop him, but he simply can't say the words, perhaps for fear it would undermine their relationship and Mika's faith in him; perhaps simply because he knows Tekkadan would likely have fallen many times by now were it not for Mika's singular contributions.
But Mika's whole left side is paralyzed now. He needs (a very willing) Hush to carry him around, and is constantly asking if Barbatos is repaired so he can get back into the cockpit and be able to "move" again. In exchange for its Calamity War-ending power, Barbatos is exacting a heavy cost upon Mika by making it increasingly difficult for him to function without it.
There isn't even any discussion about whether such effects can be reversed, so it certainly isn't looking good for Mika long-term. This upsets Kudelia and Atra alike, who are also worried that all the gains Tekkadan has made hasn't really changed Mika at all; he still sees himself as a blade; Orga's blade, and only lives to serve him in any way he can, until his body and mind and soul are utterly spent.
This compels Atra, likely too bashful to consider herself for the job, to beg Kudelia to have a baby with Mika, so that, if the worst happens and Mika doesn't come back one day, they'll still have a part of him to love and care for. It's very in-character for Atra to propose such a thing, but I doubt it will go anywhere, since I don't see Kudelia ever being able to propose such a thing to Mika, even if Mika could well simply say "ok, sure fine" about it.
But for now, Mika is focused on one thing: continuing to fight, kill, destroy, for Orga. For Tekkadan. For the Kingdom of Mars. He considers his current position "not that bad" as it "simplifies things." Kudelia wants to create a world where he doesn't have to fight. Now he can no longer move, let alone fight, without Barbatos, so as far as Mika's concerned, there is no going back until Kudelia's dream is attained. The only other outcome is death.
Again, it makes sense for Mika to be so obsessed with Barbatos' status; it is literally the machine that keeps him alive and able to be useful. When Orga visits him, thinking he's asleep, he refuses to apologize for what happened, but Mika isn't asleep; he hears him.
And he agrees: Mika chose to do what he did, and he can live with the consequences. He is also willing to keep going, and keep giving up pieces of himself for the cause. He won't let Orga apologize, because there's nothing to apologize for.
As McGillis considers Gaelio's apparent return to the field of play, and Julieta aims to emulate Mika in her unswerving devotion as her master's blade, Mika stays the course. With Orga, he believes he can go anywhere. In the final dozen episodes, we'll see how far that is and how much more it will cost.

While Vidar's showdown with McGillis and Isurugi is merely a tease, the continuing battle against Hashmal is most certainly not, as it enters — and is not quite resolved in — its second episode.
Just when we thought Mika and Akihiro would be able to take care of it with their badassery, their A-J systems enter "Safe Mode" and their Gundams are paralyzed at the worst possible time – with the city of Chryse in Hashmal's manic crosshairs.
We haven't known Master Iok long, but it's clear despite his age, he's just another know-nothing Gjallarhorn aristocrat completely divorced from all good sense and competence.
I gained a lot of love for Julieta for being so utterly disgusted by her so-called superior, that she doesn't even allow him to get himself killed, as even death is "no cure for his stupidity."
Iok may be obsessing over his fallen men, but he's also responsible for the deaths of all the civilians at the agra plant. Julieta sees to it he'll live to answer for those deaths.
This is a thrilling, stomping, unrelenting episode, where all the chaos unfolding threatening to spin everything we know out of control. From his makeshift command post Orga is only just keeping his and Tekkadan's head above the surging waters of Hashmality.
With his two strongest pilots out of the picture until further notice (Zak reveals hidden knowledge by figuring out what the issue was, if not an immediate solution), he must unleash Shino (and a reluctant Yanagi in close quarters) and the new Flauros, which transforms into a wicked gun emplacement.
Orga must swallow his and his organization's pride (so it can live another day, tarnished rep or no) by asking McGillis and Isurugi to assist. One of Iok's quieter crimes of late was planting the Seven Stars seed in Macky's head; now all of a sudden he wants to grab glory while saving his partners' butts.
But he very nearly bites off more than he can chew as Hashmal gets the better of him. Even McGillis is not immune to the insidious arrogance a Gjallarhorn uniform infuses in its wearer; combine that with Macky's belief that history is on his side, and he nearly gets himself killed by insisting on sharing the front lines with his underlings.
Orga wants to keep Mika out of the fighiting, lest another "Edmonton" occur, but Mika manages to convince Orga to let him go, remove Barbatos' limiter, save Macky (and a foolhardy Ride), and fight Hashmal head-on, no matter what (further) damage it might do to his body. His logic is simple, as things tend to be with Mika: he only has a life at all because of Orga. Mika has to give him his all. It's not a question.
Kudelia and Atra sit in Kudelia's office in Chryse, confident Mika will keep them safe and come back, like he always does. But his arm sling has been a constant reminder that Mika hasn't been 100% since Edmonton, and his use of Barbatos against Hashmal means he'll leave a lot more behind on the battlefield when – or even if – he returns, as they hope he will.

If anyone wanted confirmation Iok is a moron, this episode put all remaining doubts to rest. First, he wakes up the Mobile Armor. Second, he gets his butt kicked, his men killed, and barely escapes with his life. Third, he ruins everyone else's plans with an ill-conceived counterattack motivated only by vengeance for his lost comrades.
That last blunder proves most costly, as the Mobile Armor heads not into McGillis and Orga's a carefully-planned ambush in a gorge, but towards the nearest agricultural complex. There simply isn't enough time to evacuate the facility, and when Ride tries to protect it, the Armor's beam bounces off his armor and hits the facility anyway, killing an untold number of innocent people. Things are officially out of control.
Ride is saved by Mika, who manages to take out the swarming "Plumas" around him. Mika also stubbornly refers to the armor as a "bird", not "angel", as McGillis corrected him. To him, this is just another target to be eliminated, but as we don't see him in a direct confrontation with it, and saw what happened to Iok's elite suit, there's a festering doubt that Mika can a.) defeat the armor and b.) do so without more collateral damage.
Chryse is the armor's next target, and with McGillis and Isurugi are confronted by an opportunistic Mask-Gaelio, it will be mostly up to Tekkadan to stop their would-be throne from being torched by a relic from a bloody past. There's no going back.

Kuromukuro continues to blast through barriers it once held back from, building the diligent, detailed preparation of its first half. The care it took building its world, its technology, its characters and their roles relationships is all paying off.
There's something irresistibly striking and engrossing about having witnessed the building of such a beautiful, intricate work, and then, in its 21st episode, it pins its ears back and smashes it all to bits without mercy.
Ken saved Yukina, sure, but he was only able to thanks to Muetta. But that doesn't change the fact that she's The Enemy, and when they land, she's treated as such despite Ken's protestations. Then the "Ogre" Zell shows up, and Ken rushes at him reflexively, just as a fiery samurai who's come face to face with his nemesis would be expected to.
But Zell does something wonderfully subversive: he presupposes that Ken is simply mistaken about him being the enemy, dismissing over four centuries of hatred and mistrust in a matter of words. In reality, Zell is also the reason Ken was able to save Yukina…not to mention the primary reason all his organs are still internal.
Zell isn't done dispensing wisdom. He finally presents himself to the UN forces, and also solves the mystery of Muetta: she isn't the original Yukihime, but a clone based on her genetic code, implanted with false memories a different personality…and the voice of Toyosaki Aki. This revelation seems to do a number of Muetta, and Yukina can't help but feel for the "poor woman."
Unfortunately, these truths are the least of everyone's problems. The most would be floating high above them, descending fast. The Lab and the surrounding town do their best to prepare and make a stand, but there can be no preparation, or victory, for what is coming, and arrives earlier than expected.
Efidolg mechas rain down from the heavens while the mothership looms menacingly. The three GAUS piloted by Tom, Shenmei, and Sebastian take a few foes out, but once the elite pilots show up in their fancier suits, the window on how long they can hold out significantly narrows.
Ken, Yukina, Zell, and the Kuromukuro are occupied with Yorba, and Muetta is in custody, so her glongur stands by uselessly until knocked into the ocean by a raging Mirasa.
Then the mothership lands, dwarfing, then destroying the massive yet elegant arched bridge across the river, then literally driving stakes taller than mountains into the earth to form a perimeter shield that traps most if not all the evacuees in.
In every way, all hell is breaking loose, and it's all the earthlings can do to keep from getting killed by the rubble of their own destroyed structures, to say nothing of surviving wave after wave of enemy mechas. The chaos and mounting hopelessness is palpable, and pulls you in.
When Shenmei's GAUS-3's arm is ripped off, it lands on the Humvee that was transporting Muetta, flipping it upside down and trapping her in. Sophie, who witnessed the collision, rushes to free Muetta, and the gang composed of Yukina's uncle, sister, and classmates stops to assist her.
Hopefully the altruism of these earthlings is not lost on her, for if there's going to be any kind of counterattack or rather resistance to what's shaping up to be a very successful Efidolg invasion, they're going to need Muetta.
That's doubly true considering once the cactus-like personnel-sized mechas are sent in, firing tiny implants that go in the ears of earthlings and causes instant brainwashing and submission to the Efidolg. They are literally poaching all the talent.
Poor Rita saves her console-mate Beth from getting nabbed by a mecha, but she falls under their spell, as do countless other UN staff, soldiers, and townsfolk. Talk about complete and total domination.
Shenmei's GAUS is destroyed, forcing her to bail out with a super-cool inflatable escape pod, but such a feature doesn't seem to be equipped on Sebastian's GAUS. Either that, or he simply didn't have time to eject when tackling Mirasa to the ground and blowing the two of them up when she tried to go after the bus carrying Muetta, Sophie and the other civvies.
Seb dies an Apparent Honorable Heroic Death, sacrificing himself to save them, but Sophie is crushed (emotionally, not literally). Ken, Yukina, and Zell grab Tom and retreat, completing an utter defeat I knew was coming but simply wasn't prepared for how far it would go, so fast. So many of Kuromukuro's safety nets are gone now.
The lab is toast, most of its staff dead or "turned", the remaining heroes scattered with little more than their wits, and the Efidolg are now in possession of the final pivot stones. Assuming this is fairly close to Rock Bottom for our heroes' fortunes, I simply thank goodness there's five episodes left; this is a hole out of which it's going to take some time to dig. And I can't wait to see if, when, and how they pull it off.

Ushio to Tora – 38
Despite the title "The End", this week is not the end; just the beginning of it for Hakumen. The united counterattack is now in full swing, with supernatural and military forces working in concert to make Hakumen's life increasingly difficult. Even better, the battle is being broadcast to Japan from a news chopper, lessening the fear of those who didn't evacuate (like Asako and her fam).
I must say, after so much darkness and dread, I was glad to see the mood of the show brightening along with the skies around the battle. The irreverent chatter between Ushio and Tora flies as furiously as the cameos, which, to be honest, are a bit out of control; but are to be expected, as the end, titles aside, is very quickly approaching.
Hakumen is a little slow on the uptake, and in assessing exactly why things are going so bad, determines that Ushio and Tora are the cause. If they can be smitten once and for all, Hakumen can crush everyone else's spirits and get back to wreaking havoc. So Hakumen unleashes a Malboro-esque poison cloud, isolating and trapping the duo.
All everyone else can do, from Asako to Mayuko to Hinowa and the Moritsuna siblings, is keep fighing; keep doing their part; and trust Ushio and Tora will be okay.
And they do do okay. Ushio's armor is shattered and he comes close to his soul shattering as well, but he's not like the other wielders who turned into azafuse, and both he and the spear are able to calm themselves, buoyed by the knowledge, and Tora's confirmation, that Hakumen is not only terrified of his adversaries (for their ability to unite humans and youkai, among other things)—he's also insanely jealous.
Hatred, pain, fear, and death are the only things Hakumen has ever known, and perhaps believes they're the only things in the world. But seeing what Ushio and Tora have been able to accomplish; watching all the assembled friends and allies fight with everything they have for their sake; even watching the beast spear reassemble itself to fight again; it's no surprise the increasingly puny bastard would be a bit envious.

Reports on State of Food Insecurity: Using a holistic concept of food security that takes into account the three broad dimensions, namely, availability, access and absorption of food, the Food Security programme area has published five Reports (between 2001 and 2010) that provide a macro perspective of the country's food security concerns. These Reports are descriptive documents on the level of food insecurity in rural and urban areas of the major States of India and in the country as a whole. The Reports have also carried out an exercise of constructing a composite index of food and nutrition insecurity for the major States of India, using a select set of indicators based on available secondary sources of data. The five Reports that have been published so far have proposed specific recommendations for food security policy in the country.
Studies on the Technological Dimension of Agricultural Crisis: Two research studies titled, 'Designing Rural Technology Delivery Systems for Mitigating Agricultural Distress', one pertaining to Wardha District in Maharashtra and the other to Anantapur District in Andhra Pradesh identified key factors that contribute to agricultural distress in the districts and have suggested suitable recommendations to tackle them.
Study of large-scale feeding programmes and their linkages with small farmers: An exploratory study was undertaken to investigate the possibility of linking small and marginal farmers directly to large-scale public feeding programmes like the Mid-Day Meal Scheme (MDMS), the Integrated Child Development Services (ICDS). The study was carried out in 36 villages in Andhra Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Odisha, Tamil Nadu and West Bengal. The study results were discussed and disseminated in a National level workshop.
Study on Maternity Entitlements: The study, Towards Universalisation of Maternity Entitlements: An Exploratory Case Study of the Dr. Muthulakshmi Maternity Assistance Scheme, (DMMAS)Tamil Nadu carried out in Dharmapuri and Kanjivaram districts of Tamil Nadu was a collaborative effort between Public Health Resource Network, New Delhi, M S Swaminathan Research Foundation and Tamil Nadu Forum for Creche and Childcare Services. On June 2nd 2010, the Planning Commission hosted a meeting in New Delhi, to disseminate the results of the study to a wider audience, consisting of key Government functionaries from all States.
Study on Mid day meal programme: An e-Report on the evolution and experiences of school-feeding programmes in the country as a whole as well as in the States of Tamil Nadu, Odisha, Andhra Pradesh and Puducherry was prepared and brought out in August 2011.
Study on some aspects of food security policy interventions: This Report presents some aspects of the state of food security in India, in three of its states -Odisha, Kerala and Tamil Nadu - and in the field sites of operation of the MSSRF in the bio-diversity hotspots in these three states, located respectively in Jeypore block of Odisha, Wayanad region of Kerala and Kolli Hills of Tamil Nadu based on secondary sources of information as well as a primary survey conducted in 2013.
Other initiatives: A compilation of more than 200 entitlements (State and Central) that are in operation in Tamil Nadu is being undertaken. The specific details of entitlements, as listed out in the document, are currently being validated across MSSRF field sites in Tamil Nadu. This document that shall serve as a tool for creating awareness among villagers shall be available for MSSRF field workers as well as Panchayati Raj functionaries by end 2014.
B. Community Based Interventions
Community based interventions initiated by the Food Security programme area have focused on promoting household food security, among the socially and economically deprived sections in society, through various initiatives. Capacity building of community partners (ie. the villagers) has been a crucial element in all community based interventions involving training, awareness sessions, information dissemination, demonstration, exposure visits, workshops, conferences, etc. Some basic details about the community based interventions are as follows:
Mahila Kisan Sashaktikaran Pariyojana (MKSP – Programme for the Empowerment of Women Farmers), Vidarbha and Odisha
Mahila Kisan Sashaktikaran Pariyojana was initiated for empowering women farmers, including the widows of farmers who had committed suicide, in Wardha and Yavatmal districts of Vidarbha region, in 2007. MKSP focuses on women who are actively engaged in agriculture, operating own or family land or labouring for wages. The programme addresses empowerment of women farmers through a range of capacity building measures, in the areas of grassroot institution building, sustainable agriculture, and household food security. At present MKSP, Vidarbha covers more than 3000 women farmers spread across 60 villages, formed into 215 women farmers' groups[1]. (For more details visit http://mssrf-fs-mksp.org/). MKSP was initiated in Koraput district in 2013, covering 2581 women farmers in 45 villages with funding support from MoRD, Govt and OSRLM, GoO.
Community Hunger Fighters (CHFs): The high levels of under nutrition amidst a plethora of schemes is a cause for concern. It is assumed that besides consuming a balanced diet, if there is appropriate utilization of entitlements with efficient service delivery and good governance mechanisms, it would lead to improved food and nutrition security in the long run. People's participation is key to this. The Community Hunger Fighters' initiative, launched formally in October 2011, is an action education model, wherein critical awareness of food and nutrition security issues and impetus for action among village communities was generated through sustained capacity building of five leaders consisting of men and women and belonging to different social groups, selected by the village community. A total of about 90 CHF's, from 18 villages in Kundra and Boipariguda blocks of Koraput district, Odisha have been trained so far. Women's active involvement in local governance, increased demand for personal entitlements and liasoning with the government authorities have been the major achievements. (Click on video for a detailed account). Currently, the CHF programme has been extended to 3 villages in Vidarbha, Maharashtra.
Community Grain Banks: Community Food grain Banks (CFB), as a community managed self-reliant food security system, operate on the principle of social inclusion. In the backward region of Koraput, 30 community food grain banks have been set up since the year 2000, across 30 hamlets. About 1260 households on an average have directly benefited from the community food grain bank initiative each year.
Participatory research in reducing undernutrition (0-3 years): Ongoing participatory research with tribal communities, integrating gender concerns, is being carried out in the above villages to reduce undernutrition in children below 3 years of age. Five trained representatives consisting of men and women known as Community Hunger Fighters work hand in hand with the parents, ASHA Workers and ICDS functionaries to promote better maternal, adolescent and child care practices. Community managed preparation and distribution of kasantaka churna a herbal medicinal preparation from locally available plants, for reducing Respiratory Tract Infection (RTI) has been supported.
Home Gardens: Participatory research with tribal communities in 3 villages in Kundra block of Koraput district, Odisha in enhancing home gardens with plants rich in vitamin A and C. Baseline survey of the status of home gardens in 2010 is available in the form of a publication. The kitchens garden will be helpful in lowering the instances of hidden hunger by providing the essential micronutrients in the diets of the people ( Narayanan, R and Panda, A .2011).
C. Advocacy
Farming System for Nutrition: A Pathway for Addressing Malnutrition in India: The Farming Systems for Nutrition (FSN) approach propounded by Prof M S Swaminathan and implemented as part of a research programme on Leveraging Agriculture for Nutrition in South Asia (LANSA), is now being advocated in four states of India. Given the importance of the FSN approach in dealing with the persistent malnutrition among rural households, this advocacy project with a time frame of 18 months was initiated in February 2017, with two core objectives: (1) to advocate the concept of 'Farming Systems for Nutrition' across different stakeholders, in Andhra Pradesh, Bihar, Maharashtra and Odisha; (2) to provide policy recommendations for strengthening agriculture-nutrition linkages in these four selected States. This project is being funded by TATA Trusts.
Farming Systems for Nutrition, as a farmer led strategy is defined by M. S. Swaminathan as, "The introduction of agricultural remedies to the nutritional maladies prevailing in an area through mainstreaming nutritional criteria in the selection of the components of a farming system involving crops, farm animals and wherever feasible, fish". The basic principle underlying the concept of FSN is that diversified food production system has the potential to diversify the consumption basket of farm families. The FSN model is a location-specific, inclusive model based on the resource endowments and specific environment, to address the nutritional needs of families.

The function async_data_read_finalize returns EOK even with NULL data and nonzero data size argument - I think in this case it should return EINVAL or EPERM.
On the other side the async_data_read_start gets EPERM error even if it has provided correct argument, maybe there should be another errno (saying that the other side has behaved in a wrong way).
Or, at least, state in the documentation that the EPERM means second side's error.
When this happens, it is already too late for the async_data_read_finalize() to abort the answer, so the original sender gets the error code as the return value. What we could do is to change the API to separate the return value returned by the callee from the error code returned by async_data_read_start (and functions it calls) itself.


As every writer in the room knows, "Every art leans on some other," as Adrienne Rich has written, and I owe such a debt to Carolyn Forché. In 1982 I was living in San Francisco, twenty-one years old, drinking too much, not writing poetry—and then I read The Country Between Us. In that book, the poet took what I thought were two irreconcilably separate rooms—the poet's and the activist's—and brought them together, and made a room where I could live. And she did this without trivializing the worldly on one hand and without emptying the worldly of intimacy on the other: she spoke about public matters in a private voice. And not cheerily—not, as James Baldwin once said about some white singers, in a "brave and sexless little voice"—but in a grown voice, a knowing voice, a grieving voice. When I left San Francisco I moved back to Scituate, the town in Massachusetts where I grew up--one of the poems in The Country Between Us ends with the line, "Hikmet did not choose to be Hikmet," and I must have spent three months ransacking the provincial resources of my hometown trying to figure out who Hikmet was. Eventually I did, and in this way Carolyn Forché also introduced me to her tradition, to the writers of the 20th century bent on this same project, like Nazim Hikmet, Faiz Ahmed Faiz, Yannis Ritsos, and Pablo Neruda.
In his introduction to that book, Stanley Kunitz wrote, "Kinship is the theme that preoccupies Carolyn Forché." And as she's kept on, she's extended that kinship, to strangers: in particular to suffering strangers, to the survivors of what she calls in Against Forgetting 'historical extremity,' and to its victims, the dead.
Carolyn Forché lives on 'the other planet,' which is of course, here, although we try desperately to avoid that—especially in this country, struggling with what James Baldwin called "the American affliction—their stubborn, manic refusal to accept their history." She describes the voice animating the poems in her book The Angel of History as "polyphonic, broken, haunted, and in ruins, with no possibility of restoration." But the language in which she expresses this is beautiful—it says secretly that what's left is alive, that the body is alive, that if grief is possible so is another world—that the victory of la máquina is not complete if a woman can refuse to forget, and can keep singing sorrow songs this way.
Here's to you, beauty (Gelman wrote). We are pieces of the universal journey, different, opposite, carried along by the same waves.
We will land on some beach. We'll build a little fire against cold and hunger. We'll be passionate under the same night. We'll see each other, we'll see.


Maintenance shop personnel may be exposed to lead dust when servicing and handling equipment that is contaminated with lead.
Decontaminate equipment prior to servicing by vacuum, water spray, or mechanical removal such as scraping or brushing in conjunction with local exhaust ventilation.
Provide a ventilated work bench.
Provide exhaust ventilation with HEPA filters.
Decontaminate equipment using vacuum, water spray, or mechanical removal such as scraping or brushing in conjunction with local exhaust ventilation.
Provide low volume and high velocity ventilated hand tools.
Provide Laminar Flow (Supplied Air) Islands at work stations.
Provide wash-up sink for employees in the shop.
Keep surfaces free of lead contamination as much as possible.
Ensure that all shop vacuums are equipped with HEPA filters capable of removing lead.
Empty vacuums in a manner that minimizes the reentry of lead into the shop.
A well-designed system and a continuing preventive maintenance program are key in preventing and controlling ventilation system problems.
Establish a safe place to file drawings, specifications, fan curves, operating instructions, and other papers generated during design, construction, and testing.
Establish a program of periodic inspection.
The types and frequencies of inspections depend on the operation of the system and other factors.
Daily: Visually inspect hoods, ductwork, access and clean-out doors, blast gate positions, hood static pressure, pressure drop across air cleaner, and verbally communicate with users ("How is the system performing today?").
Weekly: Check air cleaner capacity, fan housing, pulley belts.
Monthly: Check air cleaner components.
A quick way to check for settled material in a duct is to take a broomstick and tap the underside of all the horizontal ducts. If the tapping produces a "clean" sheet metal sound, the duct is clear. If the tapping produces heavy, thudding sounds, there may be settled dust in the duct.
Establish a preventive maintenance program.
Certain elements of any ventilation system should be checked on a regular schedule and replaced if found to be defective.
OSHA Technical Manual: Ventilation Investigation. OSHA (1992), 26 pages. This manual describes the use of supply and exhaust ventilation to control emissions, exposures, and chemical hazards in the workplace.
Workers need to be trained about the purpose and functions of the ventilation system. For example, they need to know how to work safely and how to best use the ventilation system. Exhaust hoods do little good if the welder does not know that the hood must be positioned close to the work.
Maintain written documentation, not only of original installations but also of all modifications as well as problems and resolutions.

I am an Author, working as a global head of marketing at an AI firm, and also a soul fitness trainer. I am an Executive Scholar in Marketing and Sales from Kellogg School of Management, MBA in Marketing and a science graduate. But the most significant thing about me is that I live by the day and would love to live by the moments working on my inner beauty and niceness and get liberated sooner than later :-)!!!
Well, I don't think I can write something that I don't feel from inside. I am honest with my thoughts and writings. Hence sometimes pouring them in a polished or organized form is challenging.
It is been more than three years now. And the voyage is nothing less than breath taking.
Well, my subtle sense of humor while talking the most serious of situations and life philosophies without losing the context and the deeper meanings of it.
Q6. How did you begin writing? Did you intend to become an author, or do you have a specific reason or reasons for writing each book?What inspired you to write your first book?
Well, my first piece of published work is my debut book "It doesn't hurt to be nice", I started to write it in the year 2013.
At the same time, I was doing my own research in ancient scriptures including Upanishads. My own moment of glory self-inquiry inspired me to write my first book. The book has a strong purpose, the purpose is to spread love, niceness, and kindness around hopefully leave the reader with an aura which is truly positive.
Well to understand the deeper nuances of life and look beyond just living a patterned, conditioned life but have a purpose which is to be a good soul with each passing day, love unconditionally and ultimately seek liberation.
Q10. What's something you are really good at that few people to know about?
I am a free spirited spontaneous dancer who can never follow a particular form or technique though fully trained in most of the dance forms.
Finding a good publisher who understands your purpose of writing the book and I am extremely happy that I found one.
Future is fearless writing without conforming to society and its rules.
I would have probably spend a lot of time and effort on my writing skills including grammar, vocabulary, and expressions.
Q15. Let me now ask something about myself, how was the interview?? Some thing you want to say about me?
Well, the interview was fantastic and I enjoyed every bit of this interaction. I am really proud of you for your achievements Ehsan and loved the way you are so free spirited and cute at the same time.
Working, Fitness workshops, trekking, listening to music or just talk to all the special ones in my life.
Expressions and anecdotal examples of Yoga Vashishta are simply mind blowing. I wish he was my mentor!
I am working on a book that deals with the beautiful nuances of love and its profoundness.
Well, the love received is unlimited from the readers, however when someone writes to you saying that truly the book made his/her day, the feeling is amazingly beautiful and pleasantly surprising!!
Be spontaneous and do feel while you write. Also, if at all your writing can influence someone positively then that might be a brighter goal than just sell through numbers.
Q22. Do you have anything specific that you want to say to your readers?
I will not ask you to love every moment or live in a particular way, but do spend few moments enquiring about yourself and probably one day you will fall in love with "Yourself"... :-)!!!
