Anime Ja Nai!
Mobile Suit Gundam ZZ (Kidou Senshi Gundam Double Zeta), is the third series in the highly successful Gundam anime franchise. A direct sequel to the vastly popular Zeta Gundam, Gundam ZZ marks a major departure from the tone of its predessor, despite being (unusually for a Gundam series) a direct sequel. Picking up days after the conclusion of Zeta Gundam, Gundam ZZ's first half is rather light-hearted and generally upbeat, especially after Zeta's Darker and Edgier story. According to reliable reports, it was an attempt to restore Gundam's reputation as a children's series and family entertainment, and its director Yoshiyuki Tomino is said to have made it as a reaction against the incredibly bleak ending of Zeta Gundam. Unfortunately, this resulted in Mood Whiplash, and the entire series is generally frowned upon by the more serious fans who enjoyed Zeta and were expecting more of the same.
Remember, people, that this is what usually happens if you let Tomino do two shows back-to-back.
However, the series eventually undergoes Cerebus Syndrome and becomes much more serious; this is generally considered to have improved the quality. This is at least in part due to the fact that, partway through the production of ZZ, Tomino recieved permission to make Char's Counterattack, thus necessitating major changes in the plotline of ZZ. The series eventually ends in typical Gundam style, though without repeating the ending of Zeta Gundam.
Gundam ZZ was also one of the mainstay titles of the UC Gundams when it comes to Super Robot Wars though it's starting to fall behind, as it hasn't been in a game since Alpha 3. During the announcement of Super Robot Wars Z 2, Terada let it slip that Bandai and Sunrise have something big in mind for ZZ, but what exactly this is is not known.
Tropes used in Mobile Suit Gundam ZZ include:
Ace Pilot: Somewhat less common than in most Gundam shows (few of the AEUG's aces survived to appear in ZZ, while Neo-Zeon never had many aces in the first place), but by the end of the series a new crop of them has risen up so that they can wipe each other out in the final battle again. Also amusingly played with somewhat with Judau and his buddies. While they grow to be aces in the end, the first time any of them pilot a mobile suit, they can do little but flail around.
Almost Kiss: Between Judau and Haman in Episode 22, or at least it looked that way. Haman was, probably, going for it before they were interupted.
Anime First: As with most Gundam shows.
Anti-Villain: Mashymre Cello and Kyara Soon.
Awesome but Impractical: Gundam ZZ itself has a built in Wave Motion Gun with a tremendous energy demand. After firing it, Judau's lucky if he can squeeze another minute of life out of his beam sabers. After that, he's kaput.
Even more Awesome but Impractical, in that said Wave Motion Gun is mounted in the head, which is usually one of the first parts to be shot/cut off, unless a Mobile Suit is completely destroyed. Whoever thought of mounting such a powerful weapon in the most exposed part of the machine clearly didn't think it through properly...
Ax Crazy: Puru is repeatedly proven to be a psychopath as are several other previously harmless villains.
Bait and Switch Credits: Amuro and Char show up in the credits but never appear in the show itself.
Beginner's Luck: Hilariously played with when Judau first pilots Z Gundam. The first battle between him and Mashmyre is basically the latter getting so confused with Judau's flailing around that he let down his guard and got his mobile suit's arm cut off. The second fight's almost the same.
Better to Die Than Be Killed: Haman and Mashmyre.
BFG: The ZZ's double-barreled suit-powered beam rifle certainly counts.
Then there's also its Hi-Mega Cannon, which is arguably the most powerful suit-mounted beam weapon ever used by a Gundam (or possibly any mobile suit period) in the Universal Century.
BFS: The ZZ's hyper beam sabers; both in size (as long as the Gundam itself) and in power.
Suffice to say, the ZZ is rather big on lots of things...
Big Bulky Bomb: When the ZZ is strapped with bombs because Beecha thought it would be a good idea to try to humiliate Judau so that he could look better.
Bird Run: Puru does this.
Call Back: The Tigerbaum arc retreads many of the goofier aspects of the first half of the series, complete with the dreaded Moon-Moon people, a gang of kids trying to steal the Gundams, Mashymre's return to prominence and even classic mobile suits from the original series to underscore the theme of revisiting the past. This is all in aid of showing off Judau's Character Development, underscored by Haman and Sarasa's comments about maturity and loss of innocence.
Cargo Cult: The Moon-Moon people and their Gaza-D worship (or at least a reasonable facsimile of one).
Cerebus Syndrome: Most people consider it a case of Growing the Beard, though.
Chronic Backstabbing Disorder: Beecha and Mondo go through a phase where they have this.
Clingy Jealous Girl: Emily Ounce, when off-duty. She drops it off later. Also, Puru.
Cloning Blues: Puru-Two, who is much less of a Genki Girl than her original.
Colony Drop: The Dublin drop is the first one, chronologically speaking, since Operation Stardust; production-wise, it's the first one witnessed in its entirety. It is a Gundam series, after all.
Coming of Age Story: For the Shangri-La kids. Despite the show's light-heartedness, it's not always terribly optimistic.
Char Clone: ZZ is the only UC Gundam series to not have a dude with a mask running around, due to Char's absence. Elements of your standard Char Clone can be found in Glemy and Mashymyre, though.
Cool Ship: The Argama, a holdover from Zeta Gundam.
And then its successor, the Nahel Argama, which is, by design, a Call Back in itself to White Base.
Combining Mecha: The titular ZZ Gundam.
Cyber Cyclops: As usual, most Zeon mobile suits.
Dead Little Sister: Averted in a rather creepy fashion, when Judau remains convinced that his little sister Leina is alive, despite watching the building she was in explode messily. Everybody around him just sort of goes with it, fearful of provoking a Heroic BSOD. Naturally, it turns out he's right all along.
Death or Glory Attack: The head mounted High Mega Cannon.
Driven to Suicide: Haman Karn chooses this over the alternative, despite Judau begging her not to. She actually seems offended by his reaction.
Easter Egg: So blatantly obvious it borders on a Shout-Out. The first resupply crates the Argama receives all have the Bandai logo prominently stamped on them.
Empathic Weapon: The Zeta Gundam picked up a few quirks from having a powerful Newtype flying it for so long - among other things, it reacts... poorly when a pilot it deems unworthy gets in.
Enemy Civil War: Glemy Toto's coup against Haman.
Evil Chancellor: Haman Karn serves as the dubious regent of the Axis Zeon.
Executive Meddling: The second half of the series had to be retooled after Tomino received the green light for Char's Counterattack, and canned Amuro and Char's appearances in ZZ as a result.
Though both did receive passing mentions by Hayato and Sayla, respectively.
Face Heel Turn: Whilst the Earth Federation was already a bit iffy in Zeta Gundam (they did, after all, create the Titans), this is the show where they finally stop giving a damn about their citizens, leaving the AEUG and Karaba to fight Neo Zeon alone.
Falling Into the Cockpit: Actually closer to Trying To Steal The Cockpit And Sell It For Scrap, but the end result is the same. Also happens literally sometimes.
Famous Last Words:
"I'm glad I came back... and got to meet you." Haman Kahn, to Judau.
Fashions Never Change: Totally The Eighties.
Five-Man Band: The Gundam Team! They even call themselves as much in-universe.
The Hero: Judau
The Lancer: Beecha
The Big Guy: Mondo
The Smart Guy: Iino
The Chick --> Action Girl: Elle
Sixth Ranger: Roux and Puru
Team Pet: Haro, as always
Fridge Brilliance: Look at some of Glemmy's early lines after he begins his evil scheme. Some could be interpreted as him all but screaming on the inside as he forces smile after smile.
Future Spandex: Puru Two, although not too noticeable since she doesn't have a figure to begin with. If she did, it would likely be similar to a Plugsuit.
Genki Girl: Elpeo Puru.
Glass Cannon: The ZZ Gundam, which combines enormous firepower with structural weaknesses that the AEUG spent pretty much the entire Neo Zeon War trying to fix.
Go-Go Enslavement: Leina Ashta gets this treatment from Glemmy. Considerably creepier since she's ten.
Growing Up Sucks: A major theme, thanks to combining a Coming of Age Story with a generous does of War Is Hell. Sarasa Moon says it best:
"In becoming mature we take on a kind of darkness and lose something beautiful within ourselves."
Gundamjack: Amusingly, the hero starts off by attempting to steal the Zeta Gundam. More than once.
Heel Face Revolving Door: Beecha and Mondo
Honor Before Reason: Judau starts acting like this in the second part of the series, to not have to kill people when he could help it.
Humongous Mecha: Mandatory in a Gundam series.
Transforming Mecha
Improbable Age: Judau Ashta is officially 14 during the story. To put this in perspective, he's already living without adult supervision, and working full-time to support his little sister. Before he gets embroiled in a war and becomes a Gundam pilot.
Joisey: Shangri-La is basically Joisey In Space!
The Juggernaut: The Quin-Mantha, an unholy, perfected union of the Titans' Psyco Gundam and Neo Zeon's Qubeley. To make matters worse, it's fast, too. Fortunately for the heroes, the pilots are considerably more fragile.
Knight of Cerebus: A weird case with Cecilia. She herself is a fairly good person at heart, but the story arc dealing with her is the point when the series stops fooling around and starts to be a serious tale by killing her off along with the series' Goldfish Poop Gang. The worst thing? None of the main characters know about it.
Actually Judau does know after watching the whole thing and trying to stop her from doing so -- but apparently, he keeps quiet about it afterward. (Considering that Cecilia was a sort-of love interest for Torres, though, can you blame him?)
La Résistance: The AEUG, sorta. After Zeta they had the full support of the Earth Federation, but by that point the Federation didn't have much support to give, so they're still largely on their own against Neo Zeon.
The same Federation that tries to confiscate the Argama and locks up Judau and Bright? That's full support?
Latex Space Suit: The pilot suits, as normal for a Gundam series. It should be noted, though, that UC Gundam Normal Suits prior to F91 are a lot bulkier than what most people are used to in fiction. The thickness of the material is probably about 1/4 or 1/3rd of the space suits NASA uses today, and it's definitely not latex.
Lighter and Softer: The first half, especially when compared to its predecessor. Despite what the Fan Dumb wants to believe, Tomino was responsible (as he put it in later interviews, he saw that Zeta was dark and depressing and felt that anime should be happy and uplifting, so he deliberately made the start of ZZ silly to counteract Zeta's dark ending). The latter half is more serious, but there's still some campy moments.
Wait...are you saying that TOMINO thinks that anime should be happy and uplifting? The Trope Namer for Kill'Em All? I can't help but ask for the source of this...
This is also the guy who made Overman King Gainer and Xabungle y'know.
Lightning Bruiser: Plenty, though the gold medal goes to Glemmy's final superweapon, the Quin-Mantha. It's basically a super-Qubeley, a towering, Nigh Invulnerable behemoth with the firepower of a battleship and the manoeuvrability of a suit half its size. The heroes only manage to beat it by convincing one of its pilots to switch sides and sniping the other one while he's outside the cockpit.
Killed Off for Real: Friggin' Hayato!
Macross Missile Massacre: Gundam ZZ can accomplish this, as can certain Neo-Zeon mecha (especially the Zssa, which is badically a walking block of missile launchers).
Taken Up to Eleven with ZZ's Mecha Expansion Pack, the Full Armor mode, where each plate of armor hides additional missiles.
Marth Debuted in Smash Bros: Judau & ZZ, as well as a handfull of other characters and mechs have appeared in licensed games released in English. Though Dynasty Warriors: Gundam is the best known, Judau's actual stateside debut was the beautifully rendered but otherwise forgettable Gundam Battle Assault Fighting Game.
Melee a Trois: The last story arc combines this with Enemy Civil War.
Mood Whiplash: Twice, once when compared with Zeta Gundam, and once when its Cerebus Syndrome kicks in.
The minor ones are all over the place.
Mythology Gag: As with the two shows before it, ZZ has an episode named "Reentry to Earth". However, unlike the first two shows, ZZ's "Reentry to Earth" actually only leads up to the actual "Reentry to Earth"-episode. It seems like Bandai got the titles swapped around a bit...
Named After Somebody Famous: One very obvious example in Episode 25 - a skilled Zeon desert commander named Rommel. Pretty much the only thing he doesn't have in common with Erwin is his callousness towards his subordinates.
No Delays for the Wicked: Neo Zeon's efficiency (or, at least, outward appearance thereof) is what gets the Earth Federation's leadership to side with them.
No Export for You: Bandai has no plans for releasing the TV series for Region 1, although characters and mobile suits in this series have been featured in games that eventually got a North American release.
Not So Harmless: Most of the villains.
Psychic Powers: Newtypes, naturally.
Shotacon: Canonically 14-year-old Judau is pursued by 22 year old Haman and has grown to be a sort of Memetic Mutation. Extremely hilarious when you consider the fact that Char is a Memetic Lolicon.
Oh, and Judau also ends up with Roux, who is 17 years old.
Scunthorpe Problem: Judau's surname is "Ashita", which has created some problems on forums such as GameFAQs. Apparently Bandai got around this by removing the I from the official translation.
Shipper on Deck: A darker-than-average example. Later in the series, the Argama crew began to seriously consider the pros of a Judau/Haman relationship... because they were quite aware that she was a ruthless and exceptionally dangerous dictator, and would happily take any weapon they could get to stop her.
Shrinking Violet: Torres' old friend Cecilia.
Shout-Out: Judau's outfit in the latter half of the series looks surprisingly like a popular Shonen Hero of that time...and his haircut doesn't help. If you hadn't guessed, he looks like a young Kenshiro.
Shut UP, Hannibal: Haman tries to get Judau to join her. He refuses even though "she smells nice".
Space Amish: For a period of a few episodes, the heroes found themselves on a colony that had suppressed all technology -- despite being a space station. If you're wondering how that worked, they had a small, trusted council run basic maintenance, whilst otherwise trying to keep their lifestyle as low-tech as possible. Despite the obvious drawbacks, it worked out pretty well for them.
Spell My Name with an "S": Worse than most Gundam series, due to its lack of official English translation. The worst offender is Elpeo/Elpie Ple/Puru. Supposedly, her official Japanese-English rendition of Elpeo Ple is a play on the name of a magazine featuring small girls called L People (ie., change the spacing in her name and it becomes El People), but some people don't consider this enough of a counterbalance to the fact that that name looks wrong in English. And just try saying Ple.
Gundam Unicorn seems to have cleared this up: her name is pronounced "Elpie Pull" in English. Fitting, as it retains the pun.
It's also fitting, in that "Pull" is what they shout when they launch targets in front of skeet shooters, reflecting how utterly expendable the poor girls are.
Stealth Pun: Double Zeta's upper body is formed from a space fighter called the Core Top.
Super Robot in a Real Robot world: As with most Gundam series, though Gundam ZZ leans more toward Super Robot than most UC series do.
Super Robot Wars: Another mainstay of the series which has appeared in a lot of the games.
Superweapon Surprise: The aforementioned Space Amish station happened to have a leftover mobile suit that was later used in battle. It's humongous.
The Baroness: Haman Karn.
The Remnant: Lots of 'em! The most clear-cut example is the group of Zeon soldiers on Earth (who have been hiding out in the desert for eight years after their side lost way back in Mobile Suit Gundam[!]), but Axis/Neo-Zeon were originally Zeon soldiers who fled to the asteroid belt rather than surrender. In a rare heroic version, the Argama and crew are the remnant of the AEUG as a whole, who suffered a Pyrrhic Victory at the end of Zeta Gundam but continue to fight against Neo-Zeon.
Serial Escalation: The Gundam was a Humongous Mecha. The Zeta Gundam was a Humongous Mecha that turned into a plane. The ZZ Gundam is a Humongous Mecha that turns into three planes. Luckily, the madness stopped here, unless you count the Nu Gundam's fin funnels.
The Starscream: Glemmy Toto
Sudden Sequel Death Syndrome: Saegusa manages to survive all of Zeta where most of his compatriots didn't. And then is promptly killed by Yazan in the very first episode.
The weird thing is, you can see someone who looks just like him in the background of the last scene when everyone's saying goodbye to Judau.
Terraforming: The ecological situation on Earth has become bad enough that humanity is now having to do this to its own home planet. For instance, Europe is now covered in artificial rainforests to compensate for rampant desertification.
There Are No Therapists: Averted. When it becomes obvious that even with her Psychic Powers, Pru is so unstable that she's more trouble than she's worth, the first thing the Argama crew do when they get back to civilization following the Africa arc is to get her into therapy.
There Is No Kill Like Overkill: A couple of examples:
How Judau kills Rakan. It involves a dozen or so missiles, a beam rifle to the face, and finally slicing his suit into little pieces with the ZZ's beam sabre. Given how hard to kill the guy had been in their previous encounters, it was probably necessary.
Obliterating Glemmy with the Zeta's beam rifle, meanwhile, was definitely not necessary (he was on foot at the time), but it was the closest weapon to hand.
This Is Reality: The opening theme song is "Anime Ja Nai!", meaning "It's Not a Cartoon".
Probably meant to be ironic, since ZZ was, prior to the creation of G Gundam, the absolute cartooniest entry in the Gundam saga.
Probably a bit of Lampshade Hanging too.
It was actually, according to Tomino, a shot at Zeta Gundam which he felt was over the top serious. That's going to cause a shitstorm in the fandom.
Too Dumb to Live: Emily again... firing on an enemy that was retreating is a good way to convince them they should kill you.
Took a Level in Badass: A non-character example - the AMX-011 Zaku III, one of the deadliest mass-produced suits of the Neo Zeon War. Yes, really.
Transforming Mecha: And plenty of them, from the lowly Gaza series to the ZZ Gundam itself (which is both this and a Combining Mecha - it can turn into between one and three planes, depending on the pilot's choice).
Troubled but Cute: Both Purus.
Tsundere: Elle Vianno.
Tyke Bomb: The Purus again.
Unstoppable Rage: After Leina gets shot, Judau's sheer fury is enough that every vaguely Newtype-sensitive person in the city feels it, and Haman (who's at ground zero) runs for her life.
Villain Song: The second opening doesn't bother hiding the fact it's being sung from the perspective of Haman about Judau.
War Is Hell: As usual for a Gundam series. ZZ makes it part of its Cerebus Syndrome - things get less and less fun and silly as the Neo Zeon War takes its physical and psychological toll on the characters, and despite a happy(ish) ending, it's clear that the survivors are going to have some lasting scars.
Wholesome Crossdresser: Judau and Iino have to do this in an attempt to infiltrate Tigerbaum. Results in a Crowning Moment of Funny when Judau is turned away because he's "ugly," and subsequently pretends to cry about it.
Iino, on the other hand...
With Great Power Comes Great Insanity: Cyber Newtypes -- particularly noticeable in this series, where we see a few characters both before and after their "enhancement".
Zeerust: The bizarre 80's clothing.

Azar Swan Share New Single "Territorial" with NPR Music
New Album Savage Exile due December 1 via aufnahme + wiedergabe
photo credit: Angele-Leigh Breaux
"Prime industrial pop." – Pitchfork
"If 2014's And Blow Us A Kiss sounded like Azar Swan's industrial take on Robyn's desperate and bright electro-pop, then Savage Exile is primed to be a caliginous chasm coiled in righteous noise." – NPR Music
"It's a totally heady and brilliantly catchy Gothic world music…There's nothing else out there that sounds like this, and if you're lucky to be in a place where it's warm right now this is going to resonate all the more." – USA Today
"Azar Swan is a gypsy-punk-metal-industrial-pop-synth-rock band that – like its leading lady – defies a neat label." – Bust
Stream: "Territorial" at NPR Music or Soundcloud
Azar Swan have revealed their new single "Territorial" from their forthcoming release Savage Exile due December 1 via aufnahme + wiedergabe. "Territorial" premiered today at NPR Music and can also be shared at SoundCloud.
About the song NPR Music's Lars Gotrich says:
"You can feel the thud and clank of 'Territorial' unlike anything else in Azar Swan's catalog. That's due, in large part, to the duo trading in software for hardware instruments. 'The goddamn sun
is a golden knife,' the duo sings. 'The goddamn sun is a dead bird smeared across the sky in violent light.' It's an arresting image seared into gossamer synths that almost choke the atmosphere. If 2014's And Blow Us A Kiss sounded like Azar Swan's industrial take on Robyn's desperate and bright electro-pop, then Savage Exile is primed to be a caliginous chasm coiled in righteous noise."
Savage Exile is available to pre-order on limited edition vinyl at the label's online store and digitally at Bandcamp. Azar Swan has also announced a Brooklyn album release show coming on November 30 at Elsewhere. Advance tickets for the show are available HERE.
Azar Swan began in 2012 when the core members of Religious to Damn, Zohra Atash and Joshua Strawn, chose to reframe their collaboration. Religious to Damn relished in the strange results of collaborating with multiple, often virtuoso musicians to produce deceptively straightforward dream pop. Members of Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, His Name is Alive and Time of Orchids made appearances alongside Tamaryn, and future members of Tombs and Pop. 1280 to create what The Village Voice called, "a mix of desert strum, hypnotic pulse, spirited-away synths, Lynchian weirdness, and Fleetwood Maximalism." Azar Swan opted for a similarly eclectic collision, this time pared down to just Atash and Strawn, embracing their lifelong love of electronic music.
Azar Swan's first two albums, 2013's Dance Before The War and 2014's And Blow Us a Kiss were exercises in finding out what might happen when hip hop's increasingly industrial use of heavy drum samples and distorted synthesizers met with grandiose melodic tribalism and the get-up-and-dance of freestyle. But whereas experimental artists often belatedly decide to delve into "pop," Azar Swan's trajectory has gone in reverse, resembling artists like Talk Talk for which the pop records are a prelude to increasingly strange compositions and uncomfortably raw emotions. Atash says the forthcoming album Savage Exile "is a beautiful purging of anger."
Savage Exile is as much of a reflection of the band's personal experiences as their professional ones. On the professional side, as the band was finishing Dance Before the War, Strawn was releasing the first Vaura LP and Atash was touring with A Storm of Light performing parts that Jarboe had originally recorded. A remix by Coil's Drew McDowall led to his appearance on the song "Mouth of the Sky." Bookings alongside Cut Hands (former Whitehouse provocateur William Bennett) and Prurient were followed by 2015's remix collaboration Variations featuring intense re-imaginings of "We Hunger" by Vatican Shadow and "For Last And Forever" by Cut Hands.
After hearing Zohra's demos for a third album that projected an air of oppression by way of drone-based compositions, menacing sequences, and abstract vocal layering, Josh reached out to Kris Lapke, longtime studio wizard for Prurient and Hospital Productions (and original bassist of his post-punk project Vain Warr) to help realize the band's new, more aggressive approach. Unlike previous Azar Swan records, which had been collaborative in the sense that both band members had usually contributed something substantial to each song, Savage Exile is more starkly divided between songs which Atash wrote, performed and recorded almost entirely herself and those where Strawn did the same.
On the side of personal experience, Atash couldn't help but feel drained of ecstatic pop since her experience as a proud American from an Afghan refugee family was becoming increasingly hard to square with unfolding political events. A country that denied her basic humanity, an industry that talked big about listening to marginalized voices but still seemed most interested in fashion-oriented lifestyle production by the privileged. For Strawn, the record is "a responsive to a wide range of abusive behaviors, trying to navigate them. Processing one's own rage. The realization that the world has no mechanisms in place to truly protect anyone." Still, Savage Exile is introspective not politically didactic. The album is a journey rather than message, one made in the belief that truthful art made is still a dagger in the heart of pervasive evil.
The processing of rage became material in the act of creating the music. A shift from software to hardware instruments made for a more tangible relationship to sound, and literalized the attempt to give shape to an overwhelming emotion that isn't easily controlled. Atash put her lifelong study of experimental vocal techniques into practice, at times eschewing lyrics altogether for a fullness of pure, emotive sound. "Instead of melody, I wanted to use things like the rhythm of speaking, animal noises as anchor and color for the songs. Nonlinear sounds, the rhythm of tyrants, of dimwits." Like the electronics, the vocal performances are exercises in real time manipulation, Joan LaBarbara if she stumbled upon a suitcase of effects processors at a basement noise show.
Atash tells stories from viewpoints that vary from the omniscient observer to the deeply personal. "Shock" is the scream of birth, of being thrown into the world naked and dependent. "Territorial" is an abstract meditation on ownership and exclusion. "Twilight Anesthesia" is a collage of phrases heard in hospital operating rooms, a space where vulnerability and proximity to death are often at a maximum. In the case of "Lines In The Sand," Zohra speaks in the voice of the kind of person who has grown ever more comfortable expressing their hate for people like her. It's a purposeful exploitation of an ambiguous line between empathy and ridicule. "Jungle Law" is a harsh burst of heat, the sound of an epiphany most of us eventually have: that someone we trusted wasn't worth trusting. The album's closer "Heavy Water" repeats the simple refrain "It's a lonely life," in a tone that refuses to resolve that which can't be resolved. Not resignation, just awareness.
The album's title refers both to the exile of "savages" and the savagery of exiling. A meditation on never really belonging. It's a dance about imagined spaces. The terrain of distance. The need to create a home when all the forces around you don't seem to care if you're homeless. When people don't have a sanctuary, they create one in their mind.
Savage Exile is not intended to be an easy listen. It's both comfort and wound, blood as balm and evidence.

La Cehat joins forces with Hostelería de España in its bid for its own label for accommodation under the Alojamiento Seguro brand
Wednesday May 27th, 2020
CEHAT
Hostelería de España
The Spanish Confederation of Hotels and Tourist Accommodation and Hospitality of Spain have joined forces to guarantee health safety through an agreement that will lead to the creation of the Safe Accommodation seal. The CEHAT thus joins the project initiated by Hostelería de España with its commitment to the creation of the Safe Hostelería brand, which has given rise to the development of the Safe Restaurant and Safe Bar labels. With the incorporation of Cehat to this project, there will be four brands that, depending on the type of premises, will prove the implementation of measures against the coronavirus: Safe Accommodation, Safe Hospitality, Safe Restaurant and Safe Bar.
"The aim of this project is to create a comprehensive system for the preparation of accommodation, bars and restaurants that will prove that the establishments have undergone comprehensive training in the protocols of the Ministry of Health against Covid-19.
Completing a training process is one of the requirements for premises, whether they are accommodation or hotel establishments, to obtain the health guarantee stamp. Businesses must certify, by means of a responsible statement, that they know and are committed to complying with the guidelines set out in the protocols that have been coordinated by the Institute for Spanish Tourist Quality (ICTE) and approved by the Ministry of Health.
The establishments that obtain any of the stamps will have the possibility of accessing a digital platform in which the regulations will be periodically updated and they will obtain posters and signaling systems, as well as a manual that will include the guidelines to be complied with by employees and customers. In addition, this initiative includes:
A training course for company managers and workers
A manual of measures for the company and employees
A 'Safe Hospitality' label that certifies that the company has received the necessary training to adapt to the legislation that allows its opening during the Covid-19 crisis
A list of checks on the company and the worker
Signs and signals for the work areas, clients and common areas; access to the platform and updating of regulations concerning COVID-19.
The application and procedures to access this 'Integral System for the preparation of establishments' must be managed through the website www.hosteleriaunida.es


Customs and tax control is a wide range of proceedings. Within this framework, one can check, for example, tax compliance, the use of slot machines, fuel in the car tank, the content of postal items, traffic and many other issues.
If irregularities are found, customs and tax control is transformed into a tax procedure that ends as usual, i.e. with a tax decision. Of course, one can appeal against a tax decision. It is not difficult to predict how the appeal will be recognized. The legislator decided that the appeal will be recognized by the same body that previously issued the decision, i.e. the head of the customs and tax office. Fortunately, one can still complain to the provincial administrative court.


Chemo-mechanical magneto-rheological finishing (CMMRF) is a hybrid finishing process of CMP (chemo-mechanical polishing) & MRF (magnetorheological finishing). CMMRF machine has been developed to generating atomistic or nanometric surface on various engineering materials. It comprises Controller, 3-axis CNC-based machine, slurry system, finishing head, and working table.
The process is flexible finishing process, which would be employed to finish flat surfaces in order of nano to sub-nano metric level. Finishing pad life is endless (there is no need to use conditioner on the pad). And chemical aspect of finishing introduces atomic level of surface finish (less than 1nm) and very high finishing rate as compared to other existing process.
General optics, LASER Optics, Soft X-ray Optics, Hard X-ray Optics, High speed rotor, Micro-fluidic devices, Micro-tools, Metrological-probes, Micro-fabrication platform for R&D, Dies & molds, MEMS & NEMS fabrication, IC chip & microelectronics fabrication, LINAC RF Cavity, Hip joints, Knee joints, Stents.
Preston (1927) has modeled of CMP process: → Polishing rate (PR) = KPV MRP fluid�s model is assumed by consideration of its rheological behaviour similar to the Bingham plastic fluid: → Abrading Shear stress = t = to + μ(V / g) Where K = constant of chemical reaction; P = polishing pressure on abrasive; V = polishing velocity; g = working gap; t = shear stress on the MRP fluid at finishing plane; to = threshold shear strength of MRP fluid; μ = dynamic viscosity of MRP fluid.
Since polishing pad (brush) is generated by MRP fluid, pressure (P) is being generated because of magnetorheological shear stress (τ) action. This conversion of the shear stress into polishing pressure can be comprehended by fluid hydrodynamics. Figure 1 shows combined effect of CMP and MRF, whereas, chemical passivation and subsequent magnetic assisted mechanical abrasion is also presented.
The CMMRF system includes Precision Orientation Table, Polishing head, and Slurry system with controller. This system should be mounted in any 3-axis machine to perform finishing operation.

This is novel work in field of advanced manufacturing technology. Development of this facility needs people whose areas of expertise belong to precision machining & assembly, fluid circulatory system, and 'electronics-instrumentation & system integration'.


Over the night we added a small avalache of features (for a list of Talk posts, see the top of this post.) This post talks about the "Get this book" feature.
Show me the feature! Check the Get this Book feature for Romeo and Juliet. Then come discuss this here.
Why the new features? For years now we've had a feature called "Buy, Borrow and Swap"—involved bookstore and library links, and integration with swap sites.
We wanted to make it better—to integrate with as many sources as possible, so we show people what was out there, and send people to links that existed, not a lot of blind links to pages that might or might not exist. First, as discussed here, Amazon tightened up its linking policy, forcing changes.
The new pages are accessible from any work page, and are pictured at the right.
Ebooks. Another book site integrated with a single attractive, but not comprehensive ebook supplier. So we decided to integrate with fourteen. We've included both pay sites (Kindle, Sony Reader) and free sites (Project Gutenberg, Hathi Trust).
The integration is deep. For Hathi alone, we've linked 398,000 LibraryThing works, and OpenLibrary adds another 178,000 full scans. Because our catalog is so vast, and our data so "ratty" (it comes from over 690 source), LibraryThing can do a lot better than parsing ISBNs. This is how we connect to so many ISBN-less sources. My favorite is the Online Books Page, which collects links to some 30,000 books found here and there online, mostly one-off scanning projects at universities and the like.
There are, of course, more. We're not parsing Barnes and Noble ebooks—which will become important if the "Nook" takes off. If you don't see your favorite source, let us know. We'll work to add it.
Audiobooks. I haven't taken to ebooks yet. (For starters, my reader is broken.) But I listen to a lot of audiobooks. For people like me we've added links to three audiobook suppliers—Audible, iTunes and the wonderful, free, amateur-driven project LibriVox.
Live Price Comparison from BookFinder.com. Many of you use the price-comparison site BookFinder.com, so, with their help, we decided to integrate a good piece of it into the site itself. BookFinder reaches out to dozens of new and used booksellers, and comes back with good deals and rare buys.
Live results are a core principle of the site, so caching is for as little time as possible. The results are also distinguished by being cross-edition—a fairly new concept in price comparison. You can change the ISBNs or titles BookFinder uses, to get price-comparison that fits you best.
Swap sites. Swap-site integration has been with LibraryThing for some time now. We've spiffed it up, and added a long-missing site, PaperBackSwap.com. As a lot of members belong to more than one site, gathering them all together like this should be valuable.
All Sources. "Get this book" are just the best slices of a much larger pie. Check out All Sources (here, for Romeo and Juliet) to get all the sources. As with other parts of the site, the data is fundamentally under your control. If you don't see your favorite bookseller or book database, go ahead and enter it. We also want help improving the data.
Your Quick Links area is editable. To edit it, check out Edit Quick Links, which looks like "All Sources," but works a little different.
What's missing. Here's how we plan to improve the page, and how you can improve it too.
Members need to be able to add new ebooks.
We need more ebook sources. Seventeen is great. There are probably thirty we should have.
A lot of sources need improvement; they don't have all the link types they could have.
We have second slate of "book database" integrations coming up, including a full conversion of all Wikipedia citations.
Come talk about the new features here.
It looks great. Very nice work!
Wow. Great! Especially thanks for the ebook links.
I love how you just casually dropped that last thing there.
Have I mentioned lately exactly how much I love LibraryThing? *grin* You (all) rock!
This is stellar. This makes my favorite book site even better!
You ask for people to let you know if we don't see our favorite source. You also say you're not doing B&N ebooks until you see what's up with the Nook. Is this why Fictionwise (now owned by B&N) is not one of your ebook sources? Because if not, they should be.
I clicked on the link for Google books for the "Alice in Wonderland" demo, and see the top book shown, when clicked on is something to do with famous Canadian men.
I hope this isn't a sign of what we'll be seeing from Google book links for all the books when this gadget becomes active.
And I realize this is probably more of a glitch on Google's end than yours and whatever tags they have associated with that book.
I'm floored. This is wonderful! Thanks!
I use the german librarything, and am right now preparing a collection of german language gardening books which are already or will be published this spring.
Sadly I can't use it, because all books are linked to amazon.com, and 10 of 17 links do not work.
Would it be possible to change the unchangeable default link to de.amazon.com for de.librarything.com, instead of to amazon.com??
Thanks for the feedback. Would you mind emailing me at loranne@librarything.com with some more details (including your LibraryThing username) so I can help you from there? I'm not sure what you mean regarding the books being linked to Amazon.com. Are you referring to the Quick Links section on book pages?


March 17, 2016 SXSW 2016.
When you watch a documentary about a subject who committed suicide, the film usually has an energy that propels the story to its unfortunate conclusion. But "Insatiable: The Homaro Cantu Story" doesn't move with that same thrust. It ambles, moving back and forth in time to piece together the parts between the beginning and end of the great Chicago chef's life. And while the impending doom doesn't send many portentous alarms throughout the movie, a darkness lingers over the story of a man who rose from punishing lows to brilliant heights.
The film, which made its world premiere at South by Southwest, opens with tight shots of molecular gastronomy wizardry from the chef and talking heads placing Cantu not just in the context of the culinary world, but the world at large. People talk about how he wanted to improve people's lives, revolutionize the food system and change the world. Heady ideas for a man born into poverty and abuse.
The film shows the former Moto (and Ing) chef at the precipice of his greatest success in 2004 before jumping back in time to give some understanding of where the chef came from and his motivations for improving the world. Through archival photos and some minor recreations, director Brett Schwartz tells the story of a troubled young man abused and abandoned by his mother, only to land in the home of a mercurial alcoholic father. The neglect at home pushed Cantu to find his own path, and, though he was an indifferent student, he discovered an aptitude for shop and woodwork classes and his teenage jobs in the food world.
Those twin passions would wed to inform his innovative style of cooking. The chef, who earned a Michelin star for his flagship restaurant, always used his impoverished and traumatic upbringing at motivation. Having come from nothing, he always felt he had nothing to lose, and he proved an indefatigable and hungry student in the culinary world.
The movie has a very handmade quality, using shaky archival video and a few too many shots of messages on computer screens to tell its story, and some sloppy editing takes some of the tension out of the narrative, as we bounce from his past to the almost present. But the amateurism lends an intimacy to the film and makes it feel like a patchwork put together after the chef's death to make sense of what went wrong.
The specifics of those details can be vague at times, but what is clear is that Cantu, who spent four years learning at the foot of Chicago legend Charlie Trotter, was a man of singular vision and one who wanted to bring a change to the food world. We see him discuss his desire to make organic food accessible to poor communities, while he also attempts to revolutionize fast food by cutting calories through the use of miracle berries,but the details of his vision aren't always that clear.
It makes sense that a film about a man who took on myriad projects and seemed to prioritize dreams over details would feel weighted with disparate information and lack some narrative cohesion. By the time his death arrives suddenly at the end of the film, the audience may not quite understand the depth of the troubles that led Cantu to such a decision, but the weight of his loss is obvious.


Wii-like TV remotes to premiere at CES?
A radical re-design of the humble remote control is in the works, and the results could début in homes faster than you think.
Speaking at the NewTeeVee Live event in San Francisco, the CEO of Netflix, Reed Hastings, announced that with the advent of web-enabled TVs, how we control television sets is about to change.
In his keynote speech, he commentated: "Lots of people think that consumers are really hooked to their 'left, right, up, down' remote and I don't think that's true."
"The videogame generation is very comfortable with a pointer on the TV. And that's what triggers the revolution."
He continued: "For those of you who lived through the revolution from the PC to the Mac, it was all about the pointer. Letting go of the tabbed keys and going to a mouse was an incredibly radical user interface design 20 years ago.
"A similar design revolution is to abandon the TV remote with its 54 buttons and go to a simple pointer to be able to control everything."
Reed goes on to explain how the remote re-invention is inspired by Nintendo's motion-controlled Wii controller.
And when are we likely to see these types of remotes in action? "I think we will see this next year, starting with CES," hinted Reed.


Did you know that Westbank First Nation's development laws are available through their website?
There is a new trend in leases of Westbank First Nation's reserve lands. Developers and landlords are moving to 125 year terms.
The recent flooding throughout the Province of British Columbia and specifically the Okanagan region creates unique problems for First Nation Bands and their members.
For years, non-status Indians and Metis individuals have been trapped in a jurisdictional game of hot potato between provincial governments and the Federal Government, often leaving those individuals ineligible for programs and assistance.
This is an update to my Dec 22, 2009 article, incorporating the changes to INAC's locatee leasing policy.
Andrea East will be participating in a conference on December 3-4, 2015 on Building First Nation Economies.
In 2008, the federal government introduced a significant shift in its First Nations policies by repealing the section of the Canadian Human Rights Act that excluded decisions under the Indian Act from scrutiny by the Canadian human rights system.The first decision of the Canadian Human Rights Tribunal considering Indian and Northern Affairs Canada's (INAC) leasing policies (Louie and Beattie v. INAC) was released in early 2011.
There are many words and phrases used in connection with First Nations Projects which have very specific meaning, and many acronyms used as short form, which can be challenging when first getting started. This article sets out some common words, phrases and acronyms and describes their meaning.
If you're thinking about forming a partnership, here are some things to think about before the partnership begins... This article has been published in Native Business Development Magazine, a national publication focusing on the successes of First Nation, Inuit and Métis owned or managed businesses.
When a lender takes a mortgage over First Nations land "owned" by a non-Band member, their security is different than the security they typically receive for mortgages on other land. In such a situation, the lender takes a mortgage over a leasehold interest in the land, not over the land itself.
There are generally two types of lands which may be leased on a First Nations reserve governed by the Indian Act: lands allocated to individual members by a Certificate of Possession, often referred to as "CP Lands", and lands which are unallocated and held for the benefit of the community as a whole, often referred to as "Community Lands".
"Buckshee lease" is a colloquial term for a lease entered into between a member of an Indian Band or the Band itself and an individual, first nations or not, where the lease has not been formally approved by the Department of Indian and Northern Affairs in accordance the Indian Act. Buckshee leases tend to appear on reserves where the Band does not have land management powers under the Indian Act.

"Dangerous Enemy Sympathizers": Canadian Internment Camp B, 1940–1945
by Andrew Theobald
NBMHC/Goose Lane
180 pages, $18.95
When the Second World War began in 1939, no one would have expected that Canada, of all places, would become home to hundreds of individuals deemed to be "dangerous enemy sympathizers." Yet in 1940, hidden by the woods some thirty-five kilometres east of Fredericton, New Brunswick, Internment Camp B was established by the Canadian government.
In "Dangerous Enemy Sympathizers", Trent University professor Andrew Theobald explores a dark chapter of Canadian history, illuminating the daily lives of the incarcerated German and Austrian Jewish refugees who lived within the barbed fences of Camp B. Theobald also investigates the conditions that led to the internment of both refugees and Canadian citizens, the debates regarding the ethics of internment, and the major role internment camps played in shaping postwar government immigration policies.
The story is told from various perspectives and is aided by numerous illustrations and photographs. "Dangerous Enemy Sympathizers" is a quick read that, while less than two hundred pages, develops Theobald's extensive research about Camp B and the people imprisoned within it.

Children are basically human sponges. They watch our every movement and try to reenact them. They listen to everything we have to say and repeat it, maybe when they shouldn't. They are cute and messy but most of all they are looking up to those around them.
As for me, I have an 11-year-old little brother and an 8-year-old little sister. I'm also surrounded by my little cousins.
They are great but they are watching me. Being 9 years older than my little brother, and being around him the most, I try and set as the best example as I can. I know he's watching me and I never want to let him down. I have striven hard all throughout school for my parents, but with him, I try to show him that it is important. It is important for me to show him that school isn't terrible and it is important.
My little sister (even though she isn't around me a lot) is someone I still try to be a role model for. She is my step-sister, but I show her that she is important to me and I love her as much as I do my little brother. I ask her how school, soccer, and softball are. We talk about what she learns and then we talk about how her games went that week.
My little brother, well, let's just say he's a handful. I love him so much seeing he's been in this world for almost 12 years now. When I found out I was going to be a big sister I was not the happiest of campers because my "only childhoodness" was going out the window, but when he got here all those thoughts went out the window. When you are so much older than your sibling the way I am you look after them more and care for them more.
This is why I strive to be the best I can be, not only in school but in life in general. I want him to know that I work hard for what comes to me and that things in life are not handed to you.
When I first went to college he got very emotional because I was not around as much as I had been. Now that I live at home and go to college I can show him just how hard I work.
One of my favorite things is at the end of the day to come home and ask him how school went. When I graduated high school I got a hood because I was in the top five percent in my class. That day he grabbed it and said he wanted on of those one day, so when he comes home from school complaining I just tell him not to. I try to help him and sit down and try to make school more enjoyable all around for him.
I love my little brother and sister. To me they are a daily reminder that I do not bust my tail for just myself but that I have someone watching me and wanting to be just like me. I set the goals for them to reach and if they can't I show them that it's okay because they are just as good as me if not better. So the next time you feel like giving up or quitting check and make sure there isn't a human sponge watching you and wanting to be just like you.

plants which have branches at the base are
Their branches start from just above the ground. Eventually, the first true leaves will emerge from the middle of the cotyledons. Potato. Examples: Lemon, Coriander, Henna, Rose, etc. They will eventually grow to fill in the space swith less stress on tree root systems. In many epiphytic plants, such as various orchids and Tillandsia species, aerial roots are the primary means of attachment to non-soil surfaces such as other plants and rocks. Main stem bears leaf spines at its nodes. Taking away unnecessary fan leaves improves aeration, increases light exposure, and cuts mould risk. The eyes of potato are nodes at each of which 1-3 buds are produced in the axils of small scaly like leaves. Each vascular bundle is composed of Xylem, Phloem and Cambium. Stem gets modified for food storage in some plants, e.g. Many vascular bundles remain scattered in the ground tissue. Cannabis stems are rigid and sturdy. They churn out a resin rich in cannabinoids, terpenes, and flavonoids. Each stamen consists of a green stalk called filament. Few plants will survive total shade for the entire day, but plantain lilies (Hosta spp.) The leaf is a thin, flat and green structure which arises from the node of the stem. If you have such a tree in your yard, you may have a difficulty finding plants to grow well beneath it. Cannabis flowers form at the nodes of stems and branches. The axillary buds are present between the axis of leaves. After liberating nutrients from the substrate, the mycelium uptakes and shuttles them around to plants. Plants create sugars during photosynthesis, and a lot of these sweet chemicals are released into the rhizosphere by the roots. Updates? The two basic types of root systems are a primary... Two types of root system: (left) the fibrous roots of grass and (right) the fleshy taproot of a sugar beet. The green colour of leaves is due to the presence of chlorophyll. Do eukaryotic cells have restriction endonucleases? The trichomes responsible for this glistening aesthetic produce impressive levels of cannabinoids—not as much as the flowers, but more than any other part of the plant. The pericycle becomes the cork cambium, producing cork cells (outer bark) that replace the cortex and epidermis. Since the cells of endodermis contain starch grains, it is also known as starch-sheath. In general, the habit of a stem is erect or ascending, but it may lie prostrate on the ground, as in the sweet potato and strawberry. They need significant humidity and relative darkness to spring forth into life. Because cannabis roots aren't capable of this impressive function themselves, they have to "bargain" with the mycelium to access these nutrients. It is not differentiated into definite tissues like cortex, endodermis, pericycle, etc., as in dicot stems. When the veins run parallel to each other, it is called parallel venation, e.g. The nodular roots of many members of the pea family (Fabaceae) host symbiotic nitrogen-fixing bacteria, and many plant roots also form intricate associations with mycorrhizal soil fungi; a number of non-photosynthetic mycoheterotrophic plants, such as Indian pipe, rely exclusively on these fungi for nutrition. Royal Cookies Sativa-dominant strains tend to possess fan leaves with nine thin fingers. Bunch grasses such as little bluestem (Schizachyrium scoparium) and other native grasses that grow naturally under oaks are other good choices. Here, high levels of THC, CBD, and terpenes such as myrcene, caryophyllene, and pinene are produced. Use them in the same way as stems to produce teas, extracts and even mulch. Stem is very much reduced and becomes disc like. Ice Sugar leaves got their name from the frosty, sugar-like coating that occupies their surface. Underwatering will starve your plants as they attempt to transport nutrients. Among the subterranean stems are the rhizome, corm, and tuber. The primary tissues of the root are, from outermost to innermost, the epidermis, the cortex, and the vascular cylinder. Dioscorea. The cells of the ground tissue have intercellular spaces. As the stem continues to grow, lateral buds are produced that develop into lateral shoots more or less resembling the parent stem, and these ultimately determine the branching of the plant. Leaves are borne on stem in such a fashion that they are able to carry on the important function efficiently just like to receive the light and to carry on the gaseous exchange. The roots also act as a communication platform through which plants can dictate the microbial world of the rhizosphere. Omissions? Rhizomes are horizontally growing underground stems that serve as organs of asexual reproduction and…. It is the male part of the flower. This lateral branch grows aerially for some distance and becomes arched and finally touches the ground to give rise to new shoot with the help of its terminal bud.

Q: How can I conditionally allow or prevent submission execution? The situation
I have a page in which I have multiple forms keeping track of the attendance and one progress_update.
On submit of the progress_update form I have got it so that ajax sends the attendance form submissions separately having used the preventdefault() method to stop the original submission, however I would like to on the condition that no errors were returned by the ajax methods allow the original submission that was originally prevented.
What I have so far:
The ajax function:

    function send_attendance(name, lesson, form_id, i) {

        var url = '/attendance/' + name + '/' + lesson

        $('#error-' + i).hide('slow')
        $('#error-' + i).html('')
            $.ajax({
                type: "POST",
                url: url,
                data: {
                    attended: $('#attended' + i).val(),
                    score: $('#score' + i).val(),
                    writing: $('#writing' + i).val(),
                    speaking: $('#speaking' + i).val()},
                success: function(data) {
                    if (data.data.message == undefined) {
                        allow=false;
                        if (data.data.score[1] == undefined) {
                            var error_data = data.data.score[0]
                        } else {
                            var error_data = data.data.score[1]
                        }
                        $('#error-' + i).show('slow')
                        $('#error-' + i).html('
' + error_data + '
')
                    } else {

                        console.log(data.data.message)  // display the returned data in the console.
                    }
                }
            });
    }

The Intention:
The intention behind this ajax is to send the forms to a separate route for validation and then on success "receiving data.data.message == 'submitted'" pass to the next form in the loop, while on error set the allow variable to false and display the message in hopes to prevent the final form being submitted at the same time.
The call:
    $('#update_form').submit(function (e) {

            var allow = true;
            for (var i = 0; i < studentcount ; i++) {
                send_attendance(name=st[i], lesson=lesson, form_id='attendance-' + i, i=i)
            }
            if (allow == true){
            } else {
                e.preventDefault();
            }
        });

The Problem
In doing what I have done I have ended up with a situation of it either submits the ajax submitted forms and that is that preventing the submit form or it submits the form whether errors occured in the ajax that need to be displayed, now how do I get this to work in the way expected? I have tried the methods involved in these previous questions:
How to reenable event.preventDefault?
How to unbind a listener that is calling event.preventDefault() (using jQuery)?
which revolve around using bind and unbind but this doesn't seem to work as needed and results in a similar error.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Edit:
I have adjusted the code based on the comment below to reflect, however it still seems to be evaluating the allow before the ajax have completed. either that or the ajax function isn't changing the allow variable which is set in the submit() call how could i get this to change the allow and evaluate it after the ajax calls are complete?
The Ajax call
    function send_attendance(name, lesson, form_id, i) {

        var url = '/attendance/' + name + '/' + lesson
        $('#error-' + i).hide('slow')
        $('#error-' + i).html('')
        var form = $('#' + form_id)
        $.ajax({
            type: "POST",
            url: url,
            data: $('#'+ form_id).serialize(),
            context: form,
            success: function(data) {
                console.log('done')
                if (data.data.message == undefined) {
                    allow = false;
                    if (data.data.score[1] == undefined) {
                        var error_data = data.data.score[0]
                    } else {
                        var error_data = data.data.score[1]

                    }
                    $('#error-' + i).show('slow')
                    $('#error-' + i).html('
' + error_data + '
')
                } else {

                    console.log(data.data.message)  // display the returned data in the console.
                }
            }
        });

The function is being called here:
    $('#update_form').submit(function (e) {
            e.preventDefault();
            var allow = true;

            var deferreds = [];

            for (var i = 0; i < studentcount ; i++) {
                deferreds.push(
                    send_attendance(st[i], lesson, 'attendance-' + i, i));
            }

            $.when(...deferreds).then(function() {
                if (allow == true){
                    console.log('True')
                } else {
                    console.log('False')
                }
            });

I also tried:

    $('#update_form').submit(function (e) {
            e.preventDefault();
            var allow = true;

            var deferreds = [];

            for (var i = 0; i < studentcount ; i++) {
                deferreds.push(
                    send_attendance(st[i], lesson, 'attendance-' + i, i));
            }

            $.when.apply(deferreds).done(function() {
                if (allow == true){
                    console.log('True')
                } else {
                    console.log('False')
                }
            });

Cambridge COVID-19 Testing Centre passes 2 million tests milestone
The FINANCIAL --The Cambridge COVID-19 Testing Centre, set up in April in response to the urgent need to boost the UK's testing capabilities, has processed two million tests.
The facility was set up in a collaboration between the University of Cambridge and two major pharmaceutical partners, AstraZeneca and GSK. Soon after its launch, the facility was brought into the Government's national diagnostic lab network, the largest in British history.
The University has been able to share its world-leading research expertise with the innovation and robotics know-how from its two pharmaceutical partners to create a new, high-throughput centre. The facility is based at the Anne McLaren Building on the Cambridge Biomedical Campus.
Hundreds of volunteers were recruited and trained from across the three organisations to get the Centre up and running, including researchers from the University. Each volunteer stepped forward at a time of national crisis with their own reasons for wanting to contribute to the COVID-19 testing programme.
Innovative robotics and automation were installed and an entire supply chain was sourced and implemented to ensure the testing facility was both resilient and highly effective. All of this was done in just five weeks, an operation which would usually take six months.
Since it began operating, the facility has processed more than 2 million tests.
"This is a tremendous achievement and testament to the hard work of the team involved in setting up and running this facility," said Professor Andy Neely, Pro-Vice-Chancellor for Enterprise and Business Relations at the University of Cambridge. "I would like to thank everyone who has played a part in making the Centre a huge success and enabling it to play an important role in helping keep Cambridgeshire and the UK safe."

Ruminations of a Haitian Mofo: Youri Latortue Senator? Are you kidding?
Youri Latortue, security consultant to Prime Minister Latortue, is a candidate for the Senate for the Artibonite department. He will be running under the banner of the "L'Artibonite en Action" party, a political vehicle designed especially to place him in political orbit. Mr. Latortue, whose checkered past as security official of former president Aristide has yet to be investigated, is placing the Prime Minister in a difficult position. We remember that Gerard Latortue had pledged not to allow any member of his government to run in the upcoming s-elections. It seems that pledge did not apply to members of his private cabinet.
So why would Youri run? Is it because he has discovered that he has a "vision" for the Artibonite and that he can contribute to the development of that beleaguered department? Or can he now spell "I-M-M-U-N-I-T-Y", as in 2-to-6 years of immunity from any type of prosecution for crimes previously committed?
Whatever the case, this candidacy stinks !!!.
Better yet, it reeks of political machination as it would allow Gerard Latortue to remain in the game - and break the rule he set at the begining of his mandate - were his relative (cousin? nephew? who knows) to win. Gerard Latortue has a lot to answer on this one.

Foot fungus (Athlete's foot) is a common skin condition that affects the sole of the foot and the skin between the toes. It causes scaling, flaking, and itch of affected areas and occasionally may be weepy and oozing. It affects the feet of athletes and non-athletes alike.
Foot fungus is most commonly transmitted in moist areas such as public showers, swimming pools and bathhouses, where people walk barefoot, and requires a warm moist environment, such as the inside of a shoe, in order to incubate and develop.
It is extremely difficult and time-consuming to treat foot fungus. It usually takes about 45 days to cure foot fungus with the help of proper medication. But there are also herbal treatments that are equally effective but cheaper.
Tea tree oil is a common suggestion in treating foot fungus but you might feel disappointed after using it because it only improves the symptoms without curing the underlying fungal infection.
A tried and tested herbal treatment for foot fungus is using Smoke tree also known as Smoke bush, which is a common garden shrub and grows in dry, infertile soils.
The smoke tree has antibacterial, anti-inflammatory and anti-septic properties. It is a powerful agent against festers. It is mostly applied for external use because drinking great amounts of herbal smoke tree tea might induce vomiting.
To successfully treat foot fungus, prepare a highly concentrated infusion of smoke tree by boiling 40 g (1,41 oz) dry Smoke tree leaves, flowers and stems in 400 ml (0, 42 qt) water for about 20 minutes. Strain the leaves and dilute with warm water. Wait until the temperature of the infusion becomes bearable and soak your feet. Keep them in the mixture until the water cools down. Repeat once a day for 40 days.
The health benefits of the Smoke tree will help you treat foot fungus effectively but you should take care to prevent reinfection. This can easily be achieved by not sharing shoes, towels, and bath mats. Don't walk barefoot in public areas like locker rooms, swimming pools, communal showers, etc. Keeping your feet dry and practice good hygiene.
What other herbal treatments do you know about getting rid of foot fungus?


When a girl loves notebooks, bullet journals and all sort of diaries, the first thing that might come to her mind when she gets engaged is: Now I need a Wedding Planner notebook! The next question is where should she get it?
I got my wedding planner maybe a couple of days after I got engaged and it was the best thing I did. I had really no idea on how to plan a wedding and I would always question myself when is it the right time to, for example, book the venue? Or when is it the right time to invite people or even look for my wedding dress? That ladies, would be the first and main reason on why a wedding planner is so needed. Because it will definitely help and guide you throughout the months, ensuring that nothing is missed.
Inspiration mood boards, checklists, seating plan, honey moon planner, you name it. This wedding planner has it all.
I bought my "My Dream Wedding Scrapbook" on Etsy. I find that there you have a lot more options than anywhere else. You can click here for more wedding planners at Etsy.
One of my favourite aspects of this wedding planner is the monthly checklist, where it basically give you a time line and limit of certain tasks. That helps me keep my head together and reduces my anxiety.
It is also so hard to keep track of all the venues you want to visit or all the wedding dresses shops you want to go to but with this planner, you can easily add all the details and even put the details of dresses you tried and rate them. I think this is going to be so helpful when I go wedding dress shopping although I also do think that at the end, my heart will tell me which dress to go for.
Make-up is also a big focus on my wedding. I don't think I trust anyone to do my make-up and several people that know me have said that I should do it myself and I agree.
I am pretty reasonable when it comes to makeup. I have done my friends and family make-up for weddings or even when I go out with friends and they always love it and I feel very comfortable doing my own.
I won't want anything over the top, I want to look like myself and I know I will be able to do that with my basic – but good – make-up knowledge. Yes, I will be nervous enough on the day and doing my makeup might not help but I am sure I will be fine. Hopefully.
So one of the features I also love from this planner is that it gives you a few pages where you can put the details of the make-up look you might be going for.
You can list all the items you will be using (primer, foundation, brows) and add a photo of the make-up look too.
I will probably try out new products and 2 or 3 looks so this will be great to look back and make a decision.
This journal is full of cool features and comes in very handy for any bride. I have been using it a lot and as time goes by I know I will reach for it even more.
The Stationary Tracker is also something I will be using a lot, not only when I order stationary items but other stuff wedding related so I know what I am expecting.
It also has a budget list where you can write the estimated cost and compared it after to the actual cost when you get to book things. This as made me realize that I was mistaken in many of them and most of the time it cost me more than I was expecting and that brings tears to my eyes but, at the end of the day, it is my wedding and I want it to be a fairy tail.
If you just got engaged and are struggling to put your ideas together and organize yourself with this wedding planning craziness, get yourself this wedding planner and you will be sorted. Look on Etsy if you are looking for something different, get yourself organized and start planning your wedding!
