Learn Windows XP in 15 Minutes a Week: User Logon and Authentication, Part 1
By Jason Zandri
Welcome to the 25th installment of "Learn Windows XP Professional in 15 Minutes a Week." This article offers an initial look at the user logon and authentication process in Windows XP.
Jason Zandri provides an initial overview of the user logon and authentication process in Windows XP.
The Windows XP Professional operating system enables different system users or the different users within the networked environment to log on and gain access to either the local machine, the available network resources, or a combination. How users log in for this access depends on the system configuration and whether the system is in a stand-alone configuration or if it has been configured as a member of a domain.
[NOTES FROM THE FIELD] – The next article, "User Logon and Authentication in Windows XP, Part 2," will explain the differences in the two system configurations and the available logon types in greater detail.
Note that, by default, a stand-alone Windows XP system (i.e., a system that is not a member of a domain) will present the "Welcome" screen in most cases instead of the "Log On to Windows" dialog box presented when a user selects the CTRL+ALT+DEL keys in a domain configuration.
The Welcome screen hosts all of the available users on the local system on the desktop. In this situation, the username is available for someone to walk up and select. (He will not need to enter it into the username field, and this field is not provided in this configuration.) Only the password to the selected account is required for login.
This type of configuration is controlled on stand-alone systems via the Control Panel under User Accounts. On the User Accounts screen you would be able to "Pick a task" and "Change the way users log on or off." By default, the "Use the Welcome Screen" checkbox is selected and provides the end user with the Welcome Screen. Removing this check mark configures the system to use the "standard" Log On to Windows dialog box at start up and for each subsequent logon.
Stand-alone configurations using the Log On to Windows dialog box do not require the CTRL+ALT+DEL key combination to log on, as the Interactive logon setting is configured to "do not require CRTL+ALT+DEL/Not defined" by default.
To enable this on a local system, go to the Local Security Policy of the system and open the security settings. Then go to Security Options under Local Policies. In the pane view, double-click Interactive logon: Do not require CTRL+ALT+DEL to bring up the properties page. To enable the "Not defined" setting, change the setting from "Not defined" to "Disabled," as you would want the CTRL+ALT+DEL function to be required.
One way to do this is to go to the Administrative Tools on the Start Menu and find the Local Security Policy MMC. Right-click it to bring up the RUN AS option. (This scenario assumes the user is logged on with a standard user account making these steps necessary; a user logged in with an account with administrative-level rights to the local system would not need to perform these steps.)
Once the secondary logon service starts, the RUN AS dialog box appears, allowing the user to enter the necessary credentials to open the Local Security Policy MMC with the appropriate rights on the local system. He can thus make the desired changes.

ADHD, a controversy in its own right, has just had some fuel added to the flames by Australia's Therapeutic Goods Administration. At least 30 kids had "psychotic episodes". 827 children have had severe reactions to the drugs in the last three years.
The Australian findings reported in the media have effectively recreated the US debate of the last decade, with some added stats which look positively lousy, even as a relatively small percentage of the prescription rate.
ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder) has been controversial since the acronym was created.
1.	There's no such thing.
2.	There is such a thing, and medication is necessary.
3.	There is such a thing and medication isn't necessary.
As someone who grew up before the Medicate Everything And Everyone era, may I just make the point that if 95% of kids have one behavior pattern and the other 5% fit a classification of ADHD and have totally different behaviors, there must be something happening.
4.	There is such a thing and if medication's required, it should work properly.
The controversy hasn't got very far in any direction in terms of achieving change. In the US, the general belief is that medication is the benchmark practice where a condition requires treatment, but nobody's too happy with the overall situation. Side effects are totally distrusted, and there's been a lot of displeasure with the apparent lack of interest in side effects, as well as lack of action.
The logic of any situation where a child with ADHD can go from hyperactive to a state where they're exhibiting fixated responses like attempted suicide as a result of medication needs a look.
Let's assume a situation where the diagnosis is correct, there is a need for treatment, and a suicidal episode occurs.
Ø	Why the psychotic episodes?
Ø	What are the factors involved?
A sudden drastic change of behavioral patterns, from ADHD, which as something to live with is potentially impossibly annoying (particularly for a non-existent situation), translates as "fun" and is normal to the individual, to a sudden crash, is likely to be very disturbing. The medication has effectively contradicted their basic drives.
Anyone who's been on psychoactive medication will know that the effects can be dramatic. Now, imagine those effects on a child. How exactly is a five year old supposed to deal with what is effectively a polarization of their natural state? Adults don't deal with that situation too well. The kid is in quite unfamiliar emotional territory, and doesn't have any prior experience to help them adjust.
The "normal" suicidal episodes in childhood are usually environmental. Thanks to the ever caring, ever sharing environment of the society, death looks good. There's a rationale, wrong as it may be, but there's some logic behind it.
The pharmacological issues are clearer. If there's a known negative side effect, what about dosage? Any first year medical student knows that more isn't necessarily better. Any first year pharmacology student knows that more of a psychotropic probably isn't better. Dosages are supposed to be matched to individuals. There's only one likely outcome of any inappropriate dosage over the correct dose.
This is definitely not rocket science, and it's an issue which hasn't been getting a lot of attention, as far as I can see. The pharmaceutical industry itself has an interesting case history of ADHD in terms of overlooking certain issues. The world's media isn't exactly being buried in information about these cases.
The fact that a percentage of kids are having these side effects has to have some bearing on pharmacology practices. Naturally, there's been no release of any specific information regarding cases, but there's an obvious dramatic difference in results. The major percentile of kids in treatment apparently aren't having these effects.
A total of 827 cases, in any society which had either the brains or the genitalia to look after its kids properly, would be producing class actions, legislation, regulation, and some effective case law. Around the world, it's producing bleatings, rationales as suicidal as any teenager's, and euphemisms.
Are psychotic states in kids normal? Previous generations grew up without them. The total percentage of suicides and attempted suicides was a tiny fraction of current levels.
Given the total ineffectuality of public debate, and the equally ineffectual mouthwash spouted by governments, the prognosis for the future isn't looking great.
Ø	Why are suicidal side effects acceptable at all?
Ø	Why are psychotic episodes acceptable?
Ø	Wasn't the original idea to treat a transient behavior pattern?
Ø	What are the criteria for success with these medications?
Ø	Have there been any studies of long term effects of these psychotic cases?
It's well known that many pediatricians aren't too thrilled about the Medicate Or Die approach. Medication is often seen as "doing something", a common curse of medical practitioners where some sort of solid response has to be given, mainly to assuage the demand for "something" from parents. Some parents having bought the script, are now reassured they've "done something".
Why, exactly, doesn't the pediatrics profession simply tell Big Pharma to stop playing with its research budgets or whatever other of its own anatomical features they find so alluring, and come up with a working therapeutic regime?
Pediatricians have more clout than they seem to realize. If the US pediatric professional associations said publicly "We won't touch this medication", I think you'd find a very contrite major industry paying attention. They'd get a lot of support from parents, who are perhaps the one surviving relic of a functional public interest group in the US.
Just one more thing: There's a lot of indications that a diet based on sugar, cardboard and TV commercials isn't a great idea, and that most parents wouldn't know a free range vegetable if they saw one. Being a lot less expensive than medication, real food might be an option.
Another 200 year old remedy for the inability to concentrate is Calcium Phosphate. There's even something called B vitamins, available in something called supermarkets. There was once some ritual called healthy exercise, too.


The morning of August 16 dawns bright and early. We are all awake by 6:30 and the community is already moving; women are drawing water from the borehole near the CBCC (preschool), which was built by Joshua Orphan and Community Care, where we are staying. Today is our first full day in Solomoni, the community where we will supervise the drilling of a borehole for the primary and secondary schools. By 7:45, we are heading to the borehole site to begin our surveying of the area. Other than the actual drilling of the well, surveying is the main goal of this Engineers Without Borders (EWB) trip to Malawi.
We begin in the grove of trees near the secondary school where the well will be located. The primary school is across the football field, a large empty, flat dirt rectangle with two metal goals on either end. Both the primary and secondary schools are made of brick and made up of multiple, two room buildings with an open brick patterning on the walls to let in light. There is no electricity in Solomoni other than the two solar panels on the library, so natural light is key.
We begin our survey by measuring across the large field and into the clustered buildings of the primary school. It is here where we first see the remnants of a prior international development project designed to bring water to these schools. That system was wind-powered and broke years ago after the NGO was dissolved, and there was no-one to repair the system, so the water distribution stations slowly fell into disrepair. It is a sobering reminder of the importance of our work. It is not enough to drill another borehole, call it a day, and return to the States.
There is a responsibility to teach the members of the community how to fix whatever may break. It is also a reminder that we are not here to tell the community what it needs. As we listen to the headteachers discuss the old system and the water access locations they would like to see in our new system, it is clear they know the design they want: Solar panels to power the pump rather than wind and three different distribution points in the primary school. These points are added to our survey.
Everyone invested in this project has their own expertise, the teachers know the school and the needs that must be met, Joseph – the head of Joshua – knows how to run the NGO that is deeply involved in the community and the schools, Chris – who drove us here and around Blantyre – seems to know everyone and where to find everything we need. We are learning from them just as they are learning from us. It is too easy to fall into the trap of international development being about telling people what they need, when in fact most people know what they need, but may need different skill sets to achieve it.
International development is never a one-way flow of information and resources. We learned from the people of Solomoni as they learned from us. Furthermore, it takes a wealth of resources to perform the types of projects we are working on. Without the in-depth knowledge of Joseph and the rest of the staff at Joshua, we would not have been able to find nearly half the resources we used this trip. Without the water board members, the rain gauge and water flow patterns in the community would have been a mystery.
Zikomo kwambiri to everyone who aided us on this trip.


You are what you eat. A balanced diet is essential for maintaining good health.
True, but what happens when that food is just anything? We rush to work as soon as we wake up in the morning without breakfast and grab foods like burgers, chaats, pastries etc instead of our lunches!
We go out in the evenings which but of course includes a meal in the restaurant. However, the plush décor of the restaurants does not ensure good quality food neither do burgers and pizzas.
Nutrition and dietetics has been included in the syllabi of almost all schools and colleges and dieticians, like beauticians, are mushrooming everywhere, yet, not a thought is given to by us, when we are young, hale and hearty.
Apart from the threat of acidity, lack of a balanced diet leads to a deficiency of vitamins and minerals. So, we have young girls suffering from anemia, skin disorders and ulcers of the mouth. Iron deficiency is the cause of anemia, while deficiencies of vitamins A and B lead to skin and mouth diseases many a time.
Meat, poultry, fish, eggs, dried beans and peas, and nuts – Chief sources of proteins and some minerals and vitamins like vitamin B1.
Leafy, green and yellow vegetables - main sources of vitamin A, iron and fibre.
Citrus fruits, raw cabbage, salad greens, and tomatoes - main sources of Vitamin C.
Potatoes, other vegetables, non citrus fruits – Main sources of carbohydrates, minerals and some vitamins.
Bread, breakfast cereals and flour – rich sources of vitamins, minerals and starch.
Butter, ghee and oil – provide fats.
Milk and its products –sources of vitamin A, vitamin B2, calcium and proteins.
A little less of canned food and oil and a little more of fresh vegetables and fruits will surely stand us in good stead. So, next time you feel like a trip to the latest swanky restaurant in town, try a home-made green salad. You will never have to worry about an increasing waistline!
Black beans have lots of protein and are very inexpensive. Salads with some lot-fat dressing, add some nuts and cheese on top -- can be done cheaply.
Of course, pastas and rice are cheap -- toss with your favourite in season veggies and you have an easy dinner!
Sit down to eat. Even at a function where people are milling around, fill a small plate with favorite nutritious choices, find a chair and sit. This will aid digestion and satiety. Frequently, others will sit with you.
Start each day with foods that give you a nutrient bang for your buck: whole grain cereals, skim milk, orange juice, fruit, or yogurt with a bagel. Try to reduce intake of low- yield coffee, soda, donuts and other baked, boxed or bagged sweets and snacks.
Cleaning and caring for the inside is just as important as the outside, maybe even more. If your body is filled with healthy nutrients, it has nicer tools to use when it makes your new skin cells. Eat more fruits and vegetables that are darker and more colorful; they have more vitamins in them. Vitamin A maintains and repairs skin tissues. Vitamins C and E act as antioxidants and protect the skin from the sun's ultraviolet rays and pollution. Also (of course) drink at least 8 glasses of water, get at least 7 hours of sleep, and don't smoke! Smoking ages your skin faster and steals water from your body.
Great tips, I hope by the time I finish with these,I will be close to having a beautiful skin.Thanks.
A healthy and balanced eating plan should ensure that the following foods are eaten every day: Whole grain breads, cereals and brown rice.
A variety of fruits and vegetables, either raw or cooked. Lean meat, poultry, fish eggs, beans another dry legumes. Low fat milk, yogurt or other fat free milk products.
A balanced diet based on appropriate proportions of all the food groups, cooked in a healthy way is the road to health. Food preferences vary with individuals anybody type also becomes a deciding factor.
Do you eat when you are bored or unoccupied?
Do you eat immediately following a fit of anger or when you are lonely or sad?
Do you crave for different types of foods when you are going through different moods, such as anger associated with salty foods and depression with sweets?
Does eating make you feel better for a short time when you have been burdened with problems?
If your answers to most of the questions listed above are in the affirmative,youare an emotional eater.
These useful tips are really very beneficial for all of us.
The important thing is to have a balance with good nutrition and exercise. When there is an inadequate intake of essential nutrients, fat cannot be properly burned and accumulates in the body.
Eat a large percentage of your food raw, and remember to chew it well.
Eat as much locally grown food as possible.
Wash your hand before eat.
Eat or drink a moderate amount of the Milk and dairy foods.These foods contain a good source of calcium, which is essential to our diet, but as these foods can also be high in saturated fats try to choose reduced fat versions when possible.
Eat less high kilo joule foods-Limit fast food and other low-nutrient snacks, such as chips and candy. But don't completely ban favorite snacks from your home. Instead, make them "once-in-a-while" foods, so kids don't feel deprived.
Avoid stress while eating. When we are stressed, our digestion can be compromised. Avoid eating while working, driving, or watching TV (especially disturbing programs or the news). Also avoid confrontations, serious discussions or worry during meals.
The anti-oxidants found in walnuts are essential to skin regeneration and elasticity, but walnuts also include chemicals that help boost circulation, bringing oxygen and nutrients to your skin cells quickly. Just four walnuts a day will provide you with all their skin-protecting benefits. Try adding walnuts to salads or cooked vegetables, or roast them at low heat for just 160 degrees for a tasty, nutrient-packed snack.
My skin looks better when I don't eat some much meat and sweets. I was addicted to sweets for many years and I stop eating them for 2 months already ( I eat like 1 time in week) and I can really see the difference.
# Have a healthy-fat appetizer. When you eat a little healthy fat before meal, you slow down the rate at which your stomach empties. Examples include olive oil, nuts, avocado, and fish. Eating them will make you feel fuller faster from the meal. Eating them will also keep your blood sugar levels spiking up after meal and makes it easier for your body to absorb fat-soluble nutrients.
everyones body is different. But this is what worked for me and has been working the past 12 years when I want to add mass.
Eat, Heavy weight lifting, allow the body part to rest no less than 48 hours, sleep, no strenous cardio, good nights rest, protein and water around the clock.
Those are the ingredients no this is how you put them into play.
1)Eating- man when Im putting on mass I try to eat and consume at the same time a day. I wake up to a protien shake and vitamins before i hit the bathroom or brush my teeth. 2 hours later Im eating breakfast, 3 hours later im eating lunch, 2 hours later downing a shake...you get the drift? 2-3 hours you want to consume.
2)working out with enough in your body- I hit the scales at 255LBS walking weight. I refuse to touch the weights until I get a minimum of 200 grams of protein in my body that day. Immediatly after my workout I go to my car with a Protein shake and a small meal. Most important meal is the one after your workout..f@#k creatine.
3) Slow digestive proteins and complex carbs~ Casein protein and vitamins before bed, adding potatos and sweet potatos in your diet is a plus.
4)H2O~ My daily goal is no less than 2 gallons. You gotta pump the water man. A body builder always looks his best the day after a competition because they deprive themselfs and flush out for the competition. They pump crazy water afterward to prevent damage.
REST!!!! Most important peice is rest, let those muscle have a minimum of 48 hours rest. Take naps if you can, stretch in between every set.
I can go on and on but thats my 2cent on it. I have put on great quality mass thoughout the years biggest thing for mass are compound movement with heavy weight. For chest incline bench, heavy dumbell press, weighted dips...you want to stretch your pecs with great resistance..
Eat whole grains. Go for sprouted grain breads (often found in the frozen section of the grocery store). Make steel-cut oats for breakfast, adding dried fruit or organic peanut butter for flavor.
Pile on the ginger. Find a ginger dressing to use on salads, sip ginger tea made from fresh ginger root or use fresh ginger in stir-fry.
Foods and drinks high in alcohol and caffeine dehydrate the skin, accelerating the development of wrinkles.
Processed foods can also have lots of hidden fats. Dietary fats are best when they come from the unrefined natural fats found in nuts, seeds, fish, soy, olives and avocado because this fat is accompanied by other good nutrients.
I think I believe this mostly for not eating balanced. I think drinking too much caffeine, alcohol, or not enough fat and protein is what makes the skin dull and dehydrated.
What are some examples of acute under nutrition and chronic under nutrition?
thinness, malnutrition, swollen tummy, can go into scurvy, pernicious anemia and other life threatening conditions.
"Eating healthfully is a great way to boost immunity and prevent flu."
The most recent research have shown that the best "brain boosters" are in fact simple things like consuming more vegetables, lessen your intake of sugar and do your exercise.
Vitamin A and carotenoids. Carrots, papayas, mangoes, milk and eggs.
Vitamin E. Green leafy vegetables and nuts.
Selenium. Sea foods, oat meal, nuts, whole wheat, and meats.
Lycopene. Tomatoes, watermelon, and pink grapefruit.
Lutein. Dark green leafy vegetables, spinach, and brussels sprouts.
Lignan. Oats, flax, barley, rye.
Antioxidants in their fresh and natural forms have been proven to be easy absorbed and beneficial to the body, but in supplement form their benefits are less clear and their use is more controversial.
Wonderful post! This could aid a whole lot of folks learn about this matter.
- Don't sit on chair regulary for more than 1 hour. Have 2 min break in every 1 hour. Just walk around and come back to work.
- Stop drinking cold water after food. Have tea / coffee / warm water or best is no liquid for 30 min. Cold water solidifies the oils in food which hardly digest and results a big tummy.
- Keep your stomach soft. Take treatment for and gastric and constipation problem.
Just change your habits and your tummy will go one day.

10. When you feel hungry, eat water-melon, drink orange juice. These low-calorie fruits will help you to lose weight.
diet is the single most important factor in a rejuvenation regimen.
* Restricted Diet provides you with what body actually needs and keeps extra calorie away.
* Low calorie diet with a balance of all nutrients is the ideal menu for all.
* Starving or over eating should be avoided. Going for crash diets and binges are fatal for life and may lead to depression. Hence eating what your body requires needs proper diet planning.
* Taking raw food rich in vitamins and minerals acts as rich source of anti aging agents.
Eat plenty of fibre!,Be careful not to eat too much fibre, but maintain a balanced and healthy diet,Try not to snack too much and Have a balanced, healthy diet.
Get potassium in bananas and plantains, beans (black, kidney, white, etc.), cantaloupe and honeydew melons.
Iron rich foods include: liver, lean red meats, seafood, beans, iron fortified whole grains, including cereals, breads.
# Three servings of vegetables should be consumed each day. Vegetables that are particularly good for you include cabbage, vegetable juice (make sure to purchase juice that does not include any added sugar or sodium), and lots of leafy salad greens.
It is beneficial to consume two servings of fruit per day. Whole fruits and natural fruit smoothies are great options.
It is beneficial to consume two servings of fruit per day.
• Do not eat complex carbohydrates after 6:00 p.m. or four to five hours before going to bed.
Try to eat one gram of protein per pound of lean body mass on lifting days and .8 grams of protein per pound of lean body mass on non-lifting days.
Never eat more than 70 grams of protein in one meal.
Learn how keeping a food diary is a good first step toward weight loss.
there are many health benefits of nuts and there are many reasons for you to include nuts in your diet.Nuts contain an abundance of protein and are extremely rich in amino acid arginine and Vitamin E.Eating a handful of nuts daily may help prevent weight gain and possibly promote weight loss.protein and fiber in nuts promote a feeling of fullness, therefore, making you eat less.
Whole-grain breads and cereals, dried beans and peas, vegetables, and fruits contain various types of dietary fiber essential for proper bowel function. Eating plenty of these fiber-rich foods may reduce your risk of cancer and heart disease. The benefits from a high-fiber diet may be related to the foods themselves and not to fiber alone. For this reason, it's best to get fiber from foods rather than from the fiber supplements you can purchase in a store.
Cucumber helps in the cleansing of accumulated toxins associated with kidney and bladder congestion, calculi stones, and heart disease. It makes an excellent food and many disease for many afflictions of the teeth and gums like pyorrhea.
Include lots of green vegetables foods like beans, spinach, carrots etc. green vegetables in your diet. These are full in nutrients and less in calories.
Use low fat free products like fat free milk, yogurt, cheese, eggs, dry beans and peas, white meat chicken, fish, etc. These foods are naturally less in fats.
Do include whole grains in your diet. Whole grains like wheat, cheerios, raisin bran, oatmeal etc are good source of proteins and other important nutrients.
Avoid packed foods and processed foods as they are full of fats and other preservatives.

Could bacteria fuel the future?
by Julie Stewart | August 31, 2018
ABOVE: Eleftherios (Terry) Papoutsakis is the Unidel Eugene du Pont Chair of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering at the University of Delaware.
With $1.5 million grant, UD engineers study microbes for biofuel production
A group of bacteria best known for causing stomach trouble could also be a source of sustainable energy.
The U.S. Department of Energy has awarded Eleftherios (Terry) Papoutsakis a three-year, $1.5 million grant to study the production of clostridium bacteria as platforms for biofuels. Papoutsakis, the Unidel Eugene du Pont Chair of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering at the University of Delaware, will uncover fundamental insights about metabolism and environmental signaling in these microbes for use to produce fuels from renewable resources.
Papoutsakis has been studying clostridium bacteria for more than four decades. He was elected to the National Academy of Engineering in 2018 in part for his work with these microbes.
Clostridia are anaerobic bacteria that can be found in many environments that lack oxygen, from soil to parts of the human body. As these bacteria digest their food, which includes carbohydrates, proteins and many other molecules, they produce compounds such as butanol, acetone and ethanol, which are useful to makers of industrial chemicals and biofuels. Over the past few years, Papoutsakis has been utilizing unique combinations of bacteria to optimize this mix of metabolites.

Here is the transcript of Callie and Amanda, Girlz 4 Life.
The short begins at night with a big concert for the pop star, Amanda Starling, she greeted her fans and began to sing.
Like a star, I'm here to shine!
As the song ended, Amanda waved to the citizens and the confetti cannon popped out confetti.
Amanda Starling: Thank you, thank you, you've been a wonderful audience.
The crowd was going wild, cheering for Amanda, the photographers came and took pictures of her.
The next morning at the youth center, Justin, Kathy and the Data Squad Rangers were looking at the newspaper about last week's concert.
Justin: Pop sensation, Amanda Starling is becoming one of the most recognizable faces in music, her debut album sold over a million copies in just one week.
Kathy: Wait, is that a lot? it sounds like a lot.
Mordecai: That's probably more like a hundred out of a thousand.
Rigby: Or maybe out of a million.
Yoshi: Not to mention a billion.
Sunset Shimmer: She sure is a great singer, don't you think?
Sora: No doubt about it, Sunset.
Silverstream: Hey, Everybody! Amanda Starling is on TV!
Yoshi: Oh, boy, this is gonna be good, let's watch it.
At Canterlot City, the fans were waiting at the front gate and Sandra gives an interview to Mrs. Montana.
Sandra Sinclair: Hello, this Sandra Sinclair, reporting live at city hall, where we are about to meet the famous pop star, Amanda Starling. But first, let's have a word with Amanda's manager, Mrs. Jane Montana.
Mrs. Montana: Why, thank you, Sandra, I would love to have an interview.
Sandra Sinclair: So, Mrs. Montana, what can you tell us about Amanda's new single?
Mrs. Montana: Well, i can say that with just one word.
Pinky: I need you to come over to MD Studios, we were just started getting the equipment ready for the show.
Pinky grabbed Mrs. Montana and rushes to the Studio.
Sandra Sinclair: Wait, what about the one word?
Jessica: That one word is Jessica.
Sandra Sinclair: Jessica, hello, I'm here with the famous co-star, the one and only Jessica Bucksworth, Jessica, we're so thrilled you could make it.
Jessica: Oh, I wouldn't miss it, Sandra, it gives me a chance to keep in touch with all of my adoring fans.
Emily: Hey, that's for Amanda.
Jessica growls at Emily, then she pops Tommy's balloon.
Fan 1: (screams) It's her, it's Amanda Starling.
Sandra Sinclair: Amanda Starling, that's so incredible!
Then, the limo drives to the red carpet and everyone is going wild to see Amanda Starling.
Jessica: I did not say Amanda Starling, a great song is what i was going to say, you can edit that together so i come off looking good, right?
Ronnie Johnson: In your dreams.
So, Sandra and Ronnie moved past Jessica to meet the famous superstar, making Jessica very, very jealous, Amanda walks out of the limo and she is being welcomed by everyone.
Sandra Sinclair: Amanda Starling, it is such an honor of welcoming you to our wonderful city.
Amanda Starling: Thanks, Sandra, i'm so very to be here in Canterlor City.
Geronimo Stilton: Ooh, uh, Miss Amanda Starling!
News reporter 1: Amanda, Amanda, over here.
News reporter 2: What can you tell us about your visit.
News reporter 3: What song will you be playing at the concert.
Amanda Starling: One question at a time, please, first, my visit in Canterlot City will be very relaxing and second, i'll be shooting my next video at MD Studios, the entire stage crew will be setting up equipment on the stage and i asked Pinky that i would have my next song recorded by Angus Scattergood.
Sandra Sinclair: Now that's big news, we can't wait to hear your new song, Amanda.
Amanda Starling: Thank you, this will the best concert ever.
Geronimo Stilton: Miss Amanda Starling!
Sandra Sinclair: Hey guys, move out of the way.
The news crews moved so Geronimo can get through, Sandra and Amanda walked to him.
Sandra Sinclair: Sorry, Geronimo, we didn't see you there, Amanda, this is Geronimo Stilton, a news reporter from Rodent's Gazette.
Amanda Starling: Oh, you don't have to me, i know who he is, i'm so happy to meet you in person at last, i'm such a big fan of yours.
Geronimo Stilton: (gasp) You're a fan of mine?
Amanda Starling: Of course, my manager, Mrs. Montana reads all of your articles and she loves them, hey, i have an idea, can we arrange a private interview, after i sing at the concert?
Amanda Starling: I'll call you later, and now, if you'll excuse me, i have to get ready.
She winks at Geronimo and heads inside the limo, the news crews and the fans ran over Geronimo to see Amanda, but the limo drove off, everyone starts to chase after it.
Geronimo Stilton: I'd be delighted.
Soon, he mumbles and fell to the floor.
Little did he know, is that Zeke and Crusher were in disguises and they saw the whole thing.
Crusher: Hey, Zeke, did you see that?
Zeke: Yeah, that was Amanda Starling.
Then Zeke came up with an idea.
Zeke: Hmm, this gives me an idea.
Crusher: Really, what's that, Zeke?
Zeke: Oh, you'll see, come on, let's go tell the boss.
So, Zeke and Crusher ran back to the Egg Carrier to tell Dr. Eggman.
At the Rodent's Gazette, Geronimo was picking which tie he should wear, then Benjamin, Pandora, Trap and the others came in with lots of boxes.
Benjamin Stilton: Hey, Uncle G.
Geronimo Stilton: What's going on?
Trap Stiltion: Yesterday the city came to inspect my house, they said i got too much stuff.
Justin: They said if he doesn't get rid of some of it, his house will collapse under all the weight.
George: So, can we leave these boxes here?
Pandora Woz: You're interviewing Amanda Starling?
Geronimo Stilton: Yes, i'm expecting her to call any minute.
Jake: I didn't know you like Amanda?
Pandora Woz: I do, not only is she the coolest pop star, she has a great taste for fashion and Amanda's got the best clothes as any celebrity, i'm thinking hand-me-downs, a skirt, a shirt, a pair of flip flops, i'll take anything.
Kathy: Wait a second, Geronimo is starstruck on Amanda the superstar.
Geronimo Stilton: Not at all, my interest is purely professional.
Justin: If you're in the state of calmness, how come the phone is ringing?
Geronimo Stilton: (shrieks) It's her, it's her, it's her, hello?
Jake: Uh, yes, did somebody ordered a pizza.
Jake and George started laughing about the prank, Geronimo closed his eyes as he placed the phone down.
At the west gate hotel, Amanda was in her room, watching TV, her manager, Mrs. Montana opens the door and tells Amanda about the concert.
Mrs. Montana: Thirty minutes until we leave for the show tonight, Miss Starling.
Mrs. Montana: Amanda, why aren't you dressed yet?
Mrs. Montana: What on earth is the matter?!
The TV shows the logo of Little House on the Prairie.
Mrs. Montana: Little House on the Prairie?
Amanda Starling: The little girl, she plays with her siblings and there are hugs and skipping through a meadow, (sobbing) and a HOOOOORISE!
Farmer: Thank you lord for this food.
Then, Mrs. Montana turns off the TV.
Mrs. Montana: Enough is enough, Amanda, you've got to pull yourself together and get dressed for the concert, ENTOURAGE!
The entourage appears with clothes and a hairbrush.
Female Entourage 1: Let's make you beautiful. er.
Female Entourage 2: Brush, brush, brush, brush, brush.
Amanda Starling: But, what about the horses?
Mrs. Montana: Your life is amazing, why would you want the one in that little box? they don't have anything you have.
Amanda Starling: But, they aren't lonely.
Mrs. Montana: How can you be lonely, at your last birthday party there were 2,000 fans.
Mrs. Montana: I know how to cheer you up.
Female Entourage 1: Selection of foreign cheeses?
Male Entourage 1: Diamond studded cookie bouquet?
Female Entourage 2: Need help flossing?
Male Entourage 2: Wireless scalp massager?
Just then, she felt a buzz on her head.
Amanda Starling: NO! that's not what I want! I do music videos instead of hanging out, I rehearse instead of making friends, what kind of a life is that?
Mrs. Montana: A special superstar life!
Mrs. Montana: We leave in 20 minutes.
With that said, Mrs. Montana leaves the room and closes the door, Amanda sat down on her chair and looks at the mirror.
Amanda Starling: (sighs) What so great about being special if it means I'm always alone?
Back at the command center, the Data Squad Rangers and Lady Palutena were having lunch with Callie, Whis and Lord Beerus.
Beerus: I'm about to burst, that was a tasty treat, thank you.
Callie Jones: You're welcome, Beerus, it was no trouble getting it. Right, Goku.
Vegeta: I'm the one who bought the ramen!
Callie Jones: I know, Vegeta, at least i had some from you.
Yoshi: Hey, do me a favor, bring a new flavor next time, I wanna try them all.
Then Amy suddenly runs up, wearing and holding a lot of Amanda Starling merchandise.
Amy Rose: Isn't Amanda Starling great?! her songs are super incredible and the outfits she wears are so fashionable.
Mordecai: Yeah, I totally agree.
Rigby: Um, one question, Amy, why do you like Amanda Starling so much?
Amy Rose: Because, she travels all around the world and performs on stage, she sings, she dances, she even acts.
Goku: Wow, that is so cool.
Amy Rose: I know right, she is the coolest rock star in the world!
Starlight Glimmer: Really? cause i thought you said Angus Scattergood is the coolest rock star in the world?
Yoshi, Mordecai and Rigby started to snicker.
Amy Rose: Oh, right, of course, i still like Angus Scattergood, he's awesome, you know what mean, he's cool, but Amanda, (sighs) even cooler, i can't wait to meet her.
Sunset Shimmer: Hey, Callie, what would you do if you met Amanda Starling.
Callie Jones: Hmm, i don't know, if i had a chance to meet Amanda, i would ask to her to hang out with me.
Gmerl: Sounds good enough by me.
Whis: I'm sure you'll get that chance very soon, Callie.
Callie Jones: Thanks, Whis, (looks at her cell phone) Oh, no, look what time it is, i gotta get going!
Yoshi: Where are you going, Callie?
Callie Jones: Danny and i were supposed to meet Kelsey at the market town, she and i are going shopping there.
Lady Palutena: We understand, if anything goes wrong, i'll send Robbie and the others to help.
Callie Jones: Okay, see you later, guys.
With that said, Callie left the command center, she grabbed her scooter and drove to market town.
Meanwhile at the Star Carnival, everyone was getting ready for Amanda Starling's concert, Brett, the stage manager was also helping out.
Brett: Does each performer have their own instrument, okay, okay, great, and, uh, props are set.
Rachael, one of the workers of the music label, was watching everything get all set up for the performance.
Rachael: Everyone, please tell me you're ready for rehearsal, because the concert is tonight and i am getting very very frightened, uh, performers, i put a bin of rehearsal costumes against the back wall, so, just ahead and try things out, lights.
Stage Crew Member 1: Yo.
Rachael: Sound, everyone, we're going in 45 minutes.
Pinky was at the center, looking at the posters, then Mitch Gordon showed up to talk to Pinky.
Mitch Gordon: Pinky, everyone is setting up all the equipment for the music video.
Pinky: (laughs) Very good, everything will perfect for the big show, how's everything with the props.
Mitch Gordon: Not to worry, it's all taking care of, Brett is helping out the stage crew.
Pinky: Ha! now that is great news, by the way, how's Amanda doing with her song?
Mitch Gordon: I really don't know, she's probably at the guest room and she doesn't want to be disturbed.
Pinky: Oh, what are you talking about, Amanda Starling is a famous rock star, how can she can not be disturbed on this very big day!
Mitch Gordon: I have no idea!
Meanwhile at the guest room, Amanda was writing another song on her lyric book.
But to me they only sound like thunder.
I should not be alone.
After the sad song, Amanda sat down on the bed, feeling awful.
Amanda Starling: (sighs) This is too much, if only there was someone I can hang out with, but with so much work to do, i'll never be able to have fun in the city.
Amanda looked out the window and saw the main gate open.
Then, Amanda had an idea. at the market town, Callie, her cousin, Danny and her friend, Kelsey were looking at the decorations for tonight's concert.
Kelsey Morgan: Whoa! check out all the decorations.
Callie Jones: Everything looks great, don't you think.
Kelsey Morgan: It sure does.
Danny Jones: Hey, Callie, can i play with others the kids?
Callie Jones: Hmm, i don't know.
Kelsey Morgan: Aw, it'll be okay, Callie, i'll watch him for you.
Callie Jones: Well, okay, just be very careful, Danny, i don't want you to get lost.
Danny Jones: Don't worry, cousin, i will.
Callie Jones: I'll meet you at town square.
Kelsey Morgan: Okay, sounds good, see ya.
So, Danny ran to meet the others kids while Kelsey tags along with him, Callie stares at the window of the hat shop and looks at her reflection, then she remembered what Sunset Shimmer said.
During flashback, it shows how Callie and Sunset Shimmer were talking about Amanda.
Then, the scenes flashes back to Callie.
Callie Jones: (sighs) What if Whis is right, would I really get that chance?
Then, an idea popped up from Callie's head.
Callie Jones: Hey, i know, i think should go to Carousel Boutique, maybe Rarity can help me pick out an outfit for Amanda's concert tonight.
So that's what she did as she started running.
Soon, Callie was getting the prefect outfit from Rarity's Boutique.
Rarity: What can i do for you.
Callie Jones: Well, i was wondering if you can help me choose an outfit for tonight's show.
Rarity: Oh, absolutely, darling, i know just where to start.
Rarity and Callie went to the changing room and saw all the outfits.
Callie Jones: Wow! there are lots of clothes in here.
Rarity: I know, i just finished them yesterday, feel free to pick anything outfit you want.
She first picked a dress with glitter on it.
Callie Jones: Umm, too sparkly for this outfit.
Next she picked a shirt with polka dots.
Callie Jones: Too many polka dots.
Last she picked a striped dress with a bow.
Callie Jones: Ugh, this is a lot harder than i thought, (turns to Rarity) Rarity, which outfit do you think would suit me best?
Rarity: Oh, um, i really don't know, Callie, i've made so many outfits that they are very hard to choose from.
Then, a mysterious girl appeared behind Callie.
Amelia: To be totally honest, i think this one suits you much better.
Callie Jones: Ah, it suits me?
Amelia: Uh-huh, i thought you were wondering about which one of these was better.
The new girl winks at both Callie and Rarity.
Callie Jones: Oh no, not at all, you see i was actually thinking about something else.
Amelia: Hey, don't look so sad.
Amelia: Really, if you keep that look up, you're poor face will wind up staying that way.
Callie Jones: Huh? Ah! Ah!
Amelia: Always keep smiling, that's the secret for looking and feeling great.
Amelia: That's right, just like that.
Callie Jones: Huh? (thinking to herself) I know i've seen her somewhere before.
Amelia: Hey, i know, why don't we shift gears and do some serious shopping together?
Amelia: I finally have some time off and i know there are some shops that i've really wanted to check out, but it's boring to go by myself, so, please?
Callie Jones: Uh, i'm not so sure.
Rarity: I think you should go with her, Callie, surely you won't take no for an answer.
Callie Jones: Heh, sure, oh, by the way, my name's Callie, Callie Jones, what's your name?
Amelia: My name is A... uh, my name's Amelia, heh, nice to meet you.
Rarity: Hello, Amelia, i am Rarity and it's nice to meet you, Darling.
Amelia: Great, now, come on, Callie, the stores await, heh.
So, Amelia grabs Callie's hand and went out shopping.
Callie Jones: Bye, Rarity, i'll see you tonight!
Then, Rarity started thinking about that girl.
Rarity: Hmm, that girl looks so familiar, could she be... (scoffs) of course not.
At the mall, Callie and her new friend, Amelia, started shopping together.
Callie Jones: So, Amelia, which do you like best?
Amelia: It doesn't matter, I just like the accessories better.
Amelia: Well, anything that i choose is always fashionable.
Callie Jones: Wow, you're a fashion expert, just like Rarity.
Callie Jones: Umm, listen, when i heard that Amanda Starling arrived in Canterlot City, i have this feeling that i would get a chance to meet her.
Callie Jones: Yeah, everyone was really excited, even Pandora, but i wonder, if i'm even good enough to see Amanda, i just don't know anymore.
Feeling sorry for Callie, Amelia knows just the thing to cheer her up.
Amelia: Hey, you're looking a little puzzled.
Amelia: So Callie, Between these two, which one do you think is better?
With that questioned, she gave some thought.
Callie Jones: Let's see, how about that one.
Amelia: Then this one it is, Wait, on second thought, this one's really cute too, I can't decide!
Amelia: See, there's that face.
Callie Jones: Huh, wha.. what?
Amelia: A Famous Superstar always has to wear a wonderfully radiant smile, that's the way you make everyone in your audience happy.
Callie then blushes bright red, however Robbie was watching Callie talking to Amelia.
Robbie Diaz: (chuckles) Way'd a go, Callie.
After shopping at the mall, Callie and Amelia were at the music shop.
Callie Jones: Hey, Amelia, how about this one?
Amelia: Something about the sunshine, that's my favorite song.
Callie Jones: Really? mine too.
Callie payed the DJ girl five dollars for the CD.
DJ Girl: Here ya go.
Callie and Amelia left the music shop and went out for a walk.
Amelia: Callie, do you mind if we have more fun in the city.
Callie Jones: Sure, that's a great idea, let's go.
Then, the girls went to the fair to have more fun.
After the fun at the Star Carnival, the girls went to the cafe, Callie and Amelia have some strawberry shortcake.
Callie Jones: Yum, this looks so good, we're in the famous cafe that's in all the guidebooks, right?
Amelia: Right, i've always wanted to come here and eat.
Both: So, let's dig in, ready?
They picked up their forks and began to eat their dessert.
Callie Jones: Mmm, it's just melts in your mouth, don't you think.
Amelia: Sure does, hey, Callie, i'm so glad that I'm are having a great time with you.
Callie Jones: Yeah, so am i, and you know, you're the coolest girl i've ever met.
Amelia: Callie, can i ask you a question.
Callie Jones: Of course, what do you wanna ask?
Amelia: Have you ever seen Amanda Starling before?
Callie Jones: Well, not really, but i do see her on TV, she is a great superstar.
Amelia: I think so too.
Callie Jones: Do you know what makes Amanda so amazing.
Callie Jones: when you look up to someone important, it's always great to have a friend.
Callie Jones: You bet, and when you have friends by your side, you're never alone.
Amelia: (sighs) Never alone, wow, that sounds like the exact opposite of my life.
Amelia: Yeah, i'm lonely a lot because there are never any teens around.
Callie Jones: You don't have to be lonely anymore, Amelia, i think you and i have become friends already, hey, the next time we see each other again, you can come hang out me and my friends anytime, what do you say.
Amelia: But, i never get to stop working long enough to do anything fun.
Callie Jones: Work? but how can you work, you're just regular a girl, wait a second.
Amelia turned around to see that nobody is around, then she looked at Callie.
Callie Jones: Amelia, who exactly are you?
Amelia: What would you say if i can get you a backstage pass to my concert.
Amelia removed her glasses and revealed herself, it turns that Amelia was actually Amanda Starling in disguise.
But then, Nina showed up.
Callie Jones: Ah, oh, hey Nina, i didn't see you, what's up.
Amanda Starling: (nervous chuckle) Hi.
Callie covered her ears from Nina's scream.
Nina: Oh my goodness, you're Amanda Starling!
Everyone turned around, and they were all shocked to see Amanda Starling in person.
David: It is Amanda Starling!
Amanda grabs Callie's hand and they started to run.
Lucy: (squeals) It's Amanda Starling.
Callie Jones: Hey, where are we going?
Amanda Starling: Away from them!
The whole crowd was running after Amanda and Callie.
Ashley: Can i have a selfie.
Callie Jones: Can you try to slow down.
Amanda Starling: Sorry, i can't do that, they're right behind us.
They kept running as fast as they could, then Amanda saw an ally to the prank shop.
Amanda Starling: Come on, we can hide here.
Soon, the girls stopped as the fans keep running straight.
Phil: I'm your number 1 fan.
Amanda looked around to make sure that the coast was clear, Callie just stood there looking at Amanda and hasn't said a single word.
Callie Jones: I... I don't believe it, you're THE Amanda Starling, aren't you?
Amanda Starling: (giggles) Looks like my cover's been blown already, and yes, I am Amanda Starling.
Amanda Starling: Shh, I don't want anybody else to know, it's a little secret that i made up.
Callie Jones: Heh, right, um, sorry that i blew your cover like that.
Amanda Starling: Don't worry about it, last time I've met someone, I was surrounded by a lot of fans.
Callie Jones: Whoa! and I thought Angus Scattergood had so many fans?
Then, they started laughing and they got the same feeling about being good friends with each other.
After the crazy fan chase, they became new besties for the start and for life.
Amanda Starling: And so I said, "Why can't you guys bother go some other supermodel?!".
Callie Jones: (laughs) I know how that felt, Amanda.
Then, they begin to feel the way about how they were best friends.
Callie Jones: You know what, Amanda? I think we became best friends already.
Amanda Starling: You said it, Callie, we're totally new BFF's.
Then, Amanda looks at the time on her phone.
Amanda Starling: (gasp) Oh no, it's almost time for my concert, if Mrs. Montana finds out i'm not on the stage, she's gonna freak out!
Amanda Starling: Do you think you can?
Callie Jones: Yeah, I know a shortcut.
Amanda Starling: Thanks, Callie, you're the best.
Then, the girls went to the shortcut to the Star Carnival.
Meanwhile at the Egg Carrier, Dr. Eggman begins his evil plan.
Dr. Eggman: Hmm, those two girls give me a better idea.
Cubot: What's your plan, Boss?
Dr. Eggman: Once we kidnap them, the Power Rangers will come to us.
Drake: How're you gonna do that, Boss?
Dr. Eggman: We'll think of a way.
Then, Zeke and Crusher returned with big news.
Crusher: They're planning to do a concert together!
Dr. Eggman: Perfect, that's just the right opportunity to put an end to the rangers once and for all!
So, they make ready for Eggman to make his move.
However, Alice was detecting Eggman's space pod coming to Canterlot City.
Alice Diaz: Something's not right, I'd better get my parents and friends.
Meanwhile, Callie and Amanda made it to the Star Carnival just in time.
Amanda Starling: Thanks for walking with me, Callie.
Callie Jones: No problem, since we're here, i can't wait to hear your new song.
Amanda Starling: That's great, you're the first to watch it, well, shall we head inside.
Amanda opens the door and everything is all prepared for the concert, the stage crew have finished setting up the equipment for the stage, Callie was amazed to see the set with excitement.
Callie Jones: Wow, this is so cool.
Amanda Starling: (giggles) I'm glad that you're impressed.
When Callie was still looking, she saw Ozzie holding the posters.
Callie Jones: Huh, was that Ozzie?
Amanda Starling: Yep, that's him alright.
Then, he'd offered the girls flowers.
Amanda Starling: Oh, thank you, that's so nice.
Callie Jones: Yeah, thanks, Ozzie, but are what you doing here?
With that questioned, he shows a reminder of the concert they were planning.
Callie Jones: That's right, the poster shows that the concert is tonight, is Angus here too?
As he nodded, Amanda and Callie were excited about this very night.
Amanda Starling: Angus is coming to the Star Carnival too, isn't great news. Callie.
Callie Jones: Yeah, that's cool, but when is the concert gonna start?
Amanda Starling: In a few minutes.
Angus saw the girls and he walked over to say hello.
Angus Scattergood: Hello, Callie, wonderful to see you, mate.
Callie Jones: Hi, Angus, it's good to see you too.
Angus Scattergood: The show is about to begin if you're all ready for this.
Amanda Starling: We certainly are, thank you for coming, Angus.
Angus Scattergood: It's no problem at all, so, Callie, what brings you here?
Callie Jones: Amanda invited me here. So I came her to watch her perform on stage.
Angus Scattergood: That's good to hear, let's get the show started.
Monty: Miss Starling, the concert is about to start.
Amanda Starling: Thanks, Callie, wish me luck.
Mitch Gordon: Ready, and we're on.
At last, Amanda was about to begin her concert.
At the concert, Robbie and his friends begin to go undercover by disguising themselves as bodyguards.
Mordecai: Man, how come we're disguising ourselves as real bodyguards, Robbie?
Robbie Diaz: Because I think Eggman might try something. So, we mustn't let our guard down.
Alice Diaz: I agree, Dad.
Yoshi: I hope you're right, Rob.
Sunset Shimmer: Let's stay sharp, Guys.
The announcer appeared on stage to start the show.
Announcer: Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, welcome to the Star Carnival's big concert, for tonight, we have a special guest star performing on stage, here's the famous superstar herself, the one and only, Amanda Starling.
Spike: Looks like the show's starting.
Robbie Diaz: Great, let's split up and cover more ground.
Amy Rose: (squeals) There's Amanda Starling, I can't wait to hear her new song!
The crowd began to clap and cheer for the famous superstar. Suddenly, the Black Snakes in disguise are watching the concert as they wait for Eggman's signal.
So, Amanda grabbed her guitar and began to sing.
The crowd cheered for Amanda Starling for her best performance, until the missiles hit the stage, then Amanda got captured by Dr. Eggman and his lackeys.
Amanda Starling: Hey, let me go!
Serena: Oh no, Eggman's got Amanda!
Geronimo Stilton: Robbie, You and your friends have to help her!
Robbie Diaz: Don't worry, Geronimo, leave it to us.
So, Robbie and the others took off their disguises and chase after Dr. Eggman, Callie stops him by blocking the exit.
Callie Jones: Hold it right there, Doc!
With her trying to stop him, Eggman was shocked to notice her presence.
Callie Jones: That's right, let her go!
Dr. Eggman: Hah, you don't stand a chance against me! So, what are you gonna do about it?
Callie Jones: Maybe not alone, but a little help from the Power Rangers and even though i can't stop you, they will!
At last, Robbie and his friends make ready for the ambush.
Robbie Diaz: That's right, Eggman, you're finished.
Dr. Eggman: On the contrary, (pushed the button into trapping them) it's you who're finished!
Callie Jones: Hey, get me out of here!
Dr. Eggman: They're not going anywhere, they're my hostages now.
Callie Jones: Robbie, Guys, help!
Robbie Diaz: Hang on, Callie, we're coming!
As Robbie breaks loose of the traps, the rangers fought off the Egg Pawns.
As for Angus Scattergood, he was about to grab his guitar for the next performance, when suddenly he began to hear some voices.
Angus Scattergood: Huh, what's going on?
Just when he took a look behind the curtains, he could see that Amanda and Callie are in trouble.
Angus Scattergood: Hey, You big twit, let the girls go!
The Black Snakes started laughing.
Crusher: And who's going to make us, smart guy, you!?
Dr. Eggman: Now, Crusher, that's not very polite, allow me to have a nice chat with him.
With his attempt to stop Eggman and the Black Snakes, the Data Squad Rangers had to fight off the Egg Pawns.
Robbie Diaz: We gotta stop Eggman!
Mordecai: Way ahead of ya, Rob! (to Rigby and Yoshi) You two thinking what I'm thinking?
With their triple attack against the Egg Pawns begins, Twilight and the girls get a head start.
Pinkie Pie: Way ahead of you, Twilight.
Then, Twilight and and girls ran up to the backstage area while Eggman speaks with Angus.
Dr. Eggman: Ah, Angus Scattergood, how wonderful to see you again.
Angus Scattergood: The feeling is not mutual, mate, now, let's say that you let the girls go.
Dr. Eggman: Hmm, perhaps I will, under one condition.
Angus Scattergood: What do you mean?
Dr. Eggman: I think I'll release Callie and Miss Starling if you perform in my big show.
and i especially will not perform for the likes of you!
Callie Jones: Yeah, you heard him, Eggman, there's no way he'll be in your big show!
Dr. Eggman: Hmph, very well, then I guess I'll have to take the girls anyway, since the rangers won't stop me.
Angus Scattergood: Listen, mate, either you let them go, or there will be consequences!
With one kick against Eggman into the ground, they finally freed Amanda and Callie.
Twilight Sparkle: Are you girls okay?
Callie Jones: Yeah, we're fine, thanks to you guys.
Starlight Glimmer: Come on, let's get you two out of here.
Amanda Starling: Okay, thank you, Rangers.
Just then, Eggman begins to notice them being rescued too late.
Dr. Eggman: This isn't over yet, Rangers, hope you'd like to dual with Egg-Diva!
As Egg-Diva makes her entrance, she begins to make her fight with the rangers.
Robbie Diaz: Who are you!
Egg-Diva: I am Egg-Diva, the powerful deadliest dancer of Dr. Eggman!
So, Egg-Diva begins her charming dance.
Gmerl: Aww man, we don't have time for this!
Alice Diaz: Come on, let's have a dance off.
Robbie Diaz: Great idea, Alice.
So with quick thinking, they begin their dance fight with Egg-Diva.
Egg-Diva: Keep up with my moves, Darlings!
So, Alice went up first to begin her fight dance with Egg-Diva.
Alice Diaz: Take a dance at this! Lavender Blade, Full Slash!
With one slash, Egg-Diva was brought down with an explosion.
Robbie Diaz: Yeah, we did it!
Alice Diaz: Egg-Diva has been eliminated!
Dr. Eggman: (growls) This isn't over, Rangers, I'll be back and get you next time.
With that said, Eggman and the Black Snakes retreated.
Robbie Diaz: Good idea, Mordecai, let's go.
Amanda Starling: Callie, you and your friends were amazing, you really helped me back there.
Callie Jones: It was my pleasure, but Angus helped out too by stalling Eggman.
Angus Scattergood: Oh, it was nothing, mate, it's the least i can do.
Callie Jones: Hey, Amanda, i'm sorry that the concert was interrupted by the bad guys.
Amanda Starling: It's okay, at least that nobody got hurt, right?
Callie Jones: Yep, thanks to our friends.
Amanda Starling: So, Callie, shall we continue with the concert?
Callie Jones: Yeah, you bet, bestie.
Both girls gave a hug and everyone watched.
Yoshi: Aww, that's so sweet.
Gmerl: Yeah, it is pretty cool.
Mrs. Montana: Indeed, i'm so happy for Amanda and her new friend.
After the battle, Amanda and Callie begin their big concert together.
I'm wishing on a million stars in the sky Just hoping one will go shooting by.
I want the world to know who I am inside.
A friend will see right through to the heart of me.
When they hear the real music in you, the music in you.
The real music in you.
The music in you, yeah.
At last, the crowd cheered happily as Amanda and Callie gave each other a high five.


KUALA LUMPUR: Award-winning film director Yasmin Ahmad (pic) has died from massive bleeding in the brain at the Damansara Specialist Hospital.
She died at 11.25pm yesterday. She had undergone surgery following her collapse at the TV3 headquarters Seri Pentas on Thursday.
The 51-year-old movie maker was famed for her advertisements and films capturing the essence of racial harmony in Malaysia.
Relatives, loved ones and a large group of luminaries from the local movie and television scene gathered at the hospital the moment they heard about her death.
Among the first to arrive were veteran actress Fatimah Abu Bakar - a close friend of Yasmin - and Media Prima International CEO Datuk Seri Farid Ridzuan.
Although distraught, those present paid tribute to the award-winning director.
"We would come cross a few great people in our time on earth. Yasmin was one of them.
"She wasn't an easy person to live or work with, but that was only because she was so talented.
"She had a big heart and vision that we usually don't understand. That was why people misunderstood her. But she never intended any malice," said Fatimah.
She added Yasmin's films had always been about love and forgiveness because that was the way her parents brought her up.
Fatimah's daughter, Sharifah Amani, who acted in Yasmin's films, was too distraught as she stood by at her mother's side.
Fatimah and Farid acted as the spokespersons for Yasmin's family to announce her death and details of her funeral.
TV host Aznil Nawawi, said he had always admired Yasmin?s work although he never had a chance to work with her.
"She possessed the knack on how to capture the essence of Malaysia through her movies and commercials.
"I last saw her when she was promoting her movie Talentime at the Radio Era office," he added.
Suria FM chief executive officer Engku Imran Engku Zainal Abidin described Yasmin's death as a great loss - not only to the entertainment and movie industry, but to the nation as a whole.
"Her movies are watched by all races because they can all relate to the messages conveyed.
"We have lost a great, intelligent and creative director," he added.
Yasmin will be buried after Zohor prayers today, although at press time the location of the burial has yet to be determined.
Fatimah said Yasmin's body would be taken to the SS19 Mosque in Subang Jaya for prayers.


A very effective way of increasing the effectiveness of expert testimony is by enhancing focus, understanding, and recall by teaming the testifying expert with a qualified medical illustrator, experienced in preparing legal graphics (illustrations, animations, models, etc.). By working together, the medical knowledge and oral skills of the expert can be supported by expertly created medical graphics that greatly clarify complicated anatomical, physiological, and medical subtleties. Together they result in much more effective communication with the decision makers than if verbal testimony or the graphics were used alone (one mode of communication used alone without being supported by the other). In addition, during a period of hours or days of listening to arguments that are typically only verbal, decision makers grasp the opportunity to focus on visuals in the form of illustrations, photographs, models, and/or animations. In fact, information is generally better processed if jury members and other triers of fact can have information presented in a multimodal fashion (i.e. combinations of simultaneous auditory, visual, and tactile stimuli).
The effectiveness of visuals is supported throughout our society by such common phrases as "A picture is worth a thousand words", and "Seeing is believing." In addition, numerous manuscripts refer to studies substantiating that recall is greatly increased when the verbal message is supported by visual images. Typically these studies have shown that after varying periods of time information that was delivered by a combination of voice supported by visuals was recalled at a significantly higher percentage than the same message delivered by voice alone.

12hrs in Copenhagen
Words by Anna Peuckert

Words by Anna Peuckert, Photographs by Søren Jepsen, Last updated: April 15, 2018
Danes are the happiest people on earth. That's a fact! At least according to countless studies conducted on the subject. Take a stroll through the beautiful Danish capital on a summer's day, and you understand why. Beautiful architecture, lots of water and friendly, good-looking people on bikes everywhere.
To be fair, in winter it is a bit tougher to fall in love with Denmark and Copenhagen at first sight. But of course, the inventive Danes found a way to tackle that problem, too. They actually even invented a word for that: "Hygge"! Ranked third place in a survey conducted about the world's most loveable words that cannot be translated, it roughly translated to something like "the complete lack and absence of anything annoying" and means cozy apartments, candlelight, and good people and food around.
You see, Denmark ranks up there in about every study there is. Time to find out why. Here are our favorite spots to visit in 12hrs in Copenhagen.
A very Scandinavian hotel
Nobis Hotel Copenhagen
Nobis Hotel
Contemporary luxury hotel Nobis Hotel Copenhagen has a prime location in the heart of the Danish capital, in a historic building on Niels Brocks Gade 1, off H. C. Andersen Boulevard. The hotel has 77 rooms, with four suites, all housed in a historic landmark building erected in 1903. Designed by architect Martin Borch, it is one of the first concrete building structures in the Danish capital. For many years, it housed the Royal Danish Conservatory of Music.
With interiors designed by Swedish star architect Gert Wingårdh and Wingårdhs, the new hotel offers the same concept as its Stockholm predecessor — elegant and timeless design, superior comfort with great service, but it is also personalized, sharp and updated in every detail. Nobis feels free of traditional luxury gimmicks and never stuffy. Amenities include a small pool, a gym, and a relax lounge. There are a bar and lounge area connected to the 80-seat Niels Restaurant.

Feminine styles from the Danish streetwear brand
Norse Store Women
The fashion label Norse from Copenhagen has been an insider tip among streetwear fans for many years but for a long time, they didn't offer any clothes specifically for women. Luckily, they are now designing a women's collection on top of their regular one and even opened a store dedicated to that right next door from their main flagship store in the city center. On the shelves, you'll find their beautiful Scandinavian basics as well as selected designs from other brands and as a small selection of books, jewelry, and perfume.

In their 1.700 square meter flagship store in a historic cinema right at the heart of one of Østerbro's grand boulevards, the brand showcases its whole range of products in different sections, from big centerpieces like sofas and tables to wonderful flower arrangements and accessories.

Lunch at the museum
Apollo Bar
Apollo Bar is the museum café at Kunsthal Charlottenborg, but it is also a destination on its own. Run by chef and creator Frederik Bille Brahe, who also owns the popular Atelier September on Gothersgade, it is a great place to have lunch, but also a cozy café and meeting place, serving inventive dishes throughout the day.
The space is inviting and feels arty, with high ceilings and statues on display. Visitors sit on chairs covered with small paint splatters which are borrowed from the art school next door. That art school's cantine is the second place in the building where Bille Brahe set up shop, offering a delicious and healthy lunch every day that doesn't break the bank, with a choice between a vegetarian and a meat dish. The canteen is open and accessible to the public on weekdays between 11.30am and 2pm, the café stays open all day.

Copenhagen's best coffee

A church unlike any other
Although Grundtvigt's Church is a simple building, it is absolutely breathtaking. Light and airy, its Western facade looks just like the backdrop to a fantasy movie. It was built out of six million yellow bricks to honor Danish philosopher and pastor Nikolai Frederik Severin Grundtvig from 1920 until 1941 and fits 1.800 worshippers, making it Denmark's church with the most seats.

New Nordic cuisine for beginners
Höst is a restaurant from the owners of super popular restaurant group Cofoco. The interior looks as if it was taken straight out of a catalog for Scandinavian minimalist furniture, the walls are washed white, and the tableware rustic. All this is supposed to make you feel as if you were at a Scandinavian farmyard that somehow has been transported into the city environment. And it works!
The food goes with this theme, focussing again on local ingredients and simple preparations. Go for the affordable three-course menu, which costs 350 DKK and showcases what's fresh on the market that day. Be sure to book a table online before your visit.

Copenhagen cocktail hour
Lidkoeb
Opened in 2012 and owned by Adeline and Rasmus Shepherd-Lomborg, the people behind the popular Ruby cocktail bar in the city center of Copenhagen, Lidkoeb is one of Copenhagen's best bars.
The building was erected in 1886 by pharmacist H.P. Madsen and for more than 100 years, it housed the production facility of Vesterbro pharmacy.

The ground floor hosts the main room, dominated by the long oak counter, the high draught taps, and a cozy open fireplace. Everything is kept light and classic, but with a modern Danish touch. In summer the doors open to a big courtyard.

OCBC Bank hires local agency GOVT
GOVT has won the OCBC advertising account in what could prove to be the new business coup of the year for a local agency in Singapore.
The agency, which has an office in KL as well as its home base on Outram Road, claimed the business after a final round of pitching with Singapore's largest agency, Ogilvy, according to numerous industry sources.
GOVT has landed a one-year contract to handle the bank's advertising starting from the beginning of 2017.
A statement from the bank's head of group corporate communications, Koh Ching Ching, reads: "We have decided to award THE GOVT PRIVATE LIMITED our creative agency account for 2017. During the pitch process, we met a number of network and independent agencies, all of whom presented strong and thought-provoking ideas in their proposals. We are happy to see the high level of creative talent within the industry in Singapore. We look forward to working with GOVT to develop new creative solutions to engage our customers."
The local shop takes on the multi-million dollar account from multi-national network McCann, which did not participate in the review.
The win is probably the most significant in GOVT's short history. Leon Lai, the agency's co-founder, wrote on Facebook today: "4 years ago, Aaron Koh, Casey Loh and myself dreamed that we would one day create a Singaporean agency that we would be damn proud of, an agency that will one day get a chance to lead work for great Singaporean brands. Along the way, a certain Timothy Chan decided to join in the party."
"We pitched and won this account against fantastic agencies, agencies that we have a tremendous amount of respect for. But the icing for us is that we won it on our own terms, and will lead this in a different agency structural format. To a better GOVT!"

Is the contract for 3 years or just for 2017?
But but but... 21 Sep 16
Doesnt ocbc know that ogilvy is at the top of campaign brief asias creative rankngs for 2016 and govt is nowhere on that list?
Guess awards aint all theyre cracked up to be.
Michael 22 Sep 16

Fickle 22 Sep 16
One year contract for a 'multi-million' business? Just the handover would take at least a good 2 months if the business is that size so not sure the purpose of 1 year contract.
really? 22 Sep 16
no pressure GOVT. all eyes on you now…. They really just surfaced in year 2014.
Icing on the cake? 22 Sep 16
How is getting a one year contract after pitching for a three-year business 'winning on your own terms'?
Well Done 22 Sep 16
I don't have a dog in this fight but Im quite pleased to see Goliath toppled.
If you take away the veneer of their proactive work which includes such "gems" as east timor tourism, the hospice and numerous other howlers, their real work and the people behind it are just as mediocre as any nondescript local agency.
Good on OCBC for recognising this and refusing to subsidise their awards budget….hope many others follow.
As for the one year contract, this is a standard precaution with a new, untested agency. GOVT deserves applause for wining but make no mistake, their work is terrible as well….probably a few hundred thousands cheaper than Goliath's though.
GOVT have a lot to prove so let them get on with it.
Robespierre 22 Sep 16
Agree. A fine win. A fair win. Name any other business where you can honestly say that. Advertising, or whatever it's called these days, it's nothing if not self-destructively egalitarian.
