If you know anything about me, you know that I love me some superhero trading cards. Well, the fine folks at Wax Eye recently sent me some sample packs of their new trading card series Stupid Heroes and asked that I review them.
The backs of the cards come in 3 main varieties: a profile of the character, artist bios or a puzzle piece. Kudos to Wax Eye for mixing things up in this area. It's always nice to see some fun facts or interactivity in trading card sets.
Overall, I really enjoyed these cards! The art is great, the card designs are classic and they're just damn funny. Pick up your packs today online or at select Toy 'R' Us stores!
For another glowing review of this set, check out my friend Shawn's review @ Branded in the 80's!

In the first round of the 2019 OHL playoffs the Ottawa 67's are going to play the Hamilton Bulldogs. If this matchup sounds familiar, that's because it is. Just one year ago we saw this very same first round matchup between the 67's and the Bulldogs, however, this year these are two very different teams. In 2018, the Bulldogs shredded the 67's along with everyone else in the league to win the J. Ross Robertson Cup as the OHL's playoff champion. This year, it's Ottawa's who hopes to do the same by outscoring and out defending all their competition just as they have done this past regular season. But if they hope to this, they first have to get past Hamilton.
The 67's haven't made it past the first round of the playoffs since 2012, where they made it three rounds deep only to lose to Niagara in five. For some perspective on just how long it has been, that team had Cody Ceci on it, but we're hoping this 67's team can do more. In terms of offence, today's 67's have seven players who have scored more than 60 points. Hamilton has two. Ottawa's scoring depth greatly outshines that of Hamilton's. Hamilton however, has one very special player who has the potential to be a real thorn in Ottawa's side, especially if Ottawa can't seem to find the goals early on. Arthur Kaliyev is a top rated prospect eligible for the 2019 NHL entry draft. This season Kaliev scored 51 goals and 102 points as a 17 year old to lead Hamilton in scoring. Compare that with Ottawa's top scorer in Tye Felhaber. Felhaber fell short of the 76 goals he was on pace for a couple months ago, but he still managed to put up 109 points that included 59 goals which is still remarkable. Both these teams have high end OHL talent, but Ottawa has a lot more. Hamilton is going to need to work very hard defensively if they hope to have a chance to shut down Ottawa's top guns, but Hamilton's defence has not proven to be a team strength thus far.
This past season Hamilton gave up 283 goals, and scored just 241 for an overall goal differential of -42. Every player on the Bulldogs' roster is a minus, and say what you will about about the plus minus stat, but when the guy on your team who's scored 102 points is a -13, that's bad. Ottawa on the other hand finished the season allowing just 183 goals against, and had a goal differential of +113. Ottawa's blue line is anchored by Noel Hoefenmayer, who scored 62 points this season to round out his OHL career. In goal, the 67's have Mike DiPietro and Cedrick Andree as their two options. Both need to be mentioned because DiPietro's stats since he got to Ottawa have not been pretty. The 67's may very well turn to Andree who they have been using for the majority of the season. With this in mind, DiPietro has shown himself to be very capable in games of high importance as proven by his play in last years playoffs and for team Canada at this years world juniors. Both Roy and Donofrio have a sv% below .890 for Hamilton, What it boils down to is that, in general, the Bulldogs have a hard time keeping the puck out of their net, whereas the 67's don't.
The 67's are looking for a big performance this post season. A significant portion of Ottawa's core will be graduating from the OHL after this year's playoffs come to an end. These will be the last playoff run that guys like Felhaber, DiPietro, Hoefenmayer, Chiodo, and Maksimovich play in their junior careers. This series is between a team that won 50 games, and a team that won 29 games. Ottawa is favoured to win this series, but stranger things have happened, and they're going to need everyone going because Hamilton isn't going to just lay down, especially after the series last year.


Sort of a beginner at this (approx 2yrs). Compared to the coins bought on auction sites, dollar for dollar these are far better. You may get 1-2 clear coins on auction sites, high percentage of 50 coins I purchased were identifiable. Worth the price!
In mi opinión it is important to specify coins Weight and size, the photo not always is enough. I did not find it. Wonderful tools and coins in any case.
Great coins and good value! The price is low compared to other coins on the market and the quality is better!
Of the ten uncleaned Roman coins from the Balkans were nine late empire coins of commonly found emperors and issues--Constantine, Constans, Probus, and Valens. As has been typical of my purchases from NRC, all of the coins cleaned up in VF condition, some with lovely patinas. With the nine was a large rather crusty coin that held a fine surprise--a Hadrian with Concord (I believe) on the reverse. Believing the coin to be silver, I cleaned too zealously and took off patina in two places. I could kick myself, but I'm very pleased with this find: A copper Hadrian in Good condition. Whether this coin found its way into the hoard by some strange circumstance, or by the hand of Kevin Sandes who wanted to add something special to the order--I am quite happy with this the most exciting reveal of an uncleaned coin in my several hunts.
The coins at Noble are good size with great detail including the uncleaned. I have not been able to duplicate the product online myself when looking for uncleaned coins. This is great winter hobby for me and i will continue to shop here with confidence.
Purchased a small lot of these to get practice on cleaning coins. I am very happy with the quality of these coins. Details showing on all coins. Well worth the money. I will be purchasing more in the near future!

Continental Village Council Meeting – November 13, 2018
Village of Continental council met in regular session on November 13, 2018. All members except for Mike Varner were present, along with Mayor Miller, Administrator Prowant, Solicitor Welch and Fiscal Officer Darby. Visitors included: Matt Rau of Habitat for Humanity, Chris Baden, Continental Fire Dept. and Gary Samlow, Village employee.
Minutes from previous meeting approved, bills & receipts reviewed and approved and Management Reports approved by signature.
— NRG Update: The Neighborhood Revitalization Grant project is moving right along. The paving is complete and sidewalks are in progress and the Restroom at the park is in progress. The Contractors hope to have the projects completed by December.
— Chris Baden addressed council about hiring a grant writer to apply for a AFG grant to replace the gear. Baden explained the costs to hire him and asked council to give its blessing. Council approved.
— Matt Rau informed council that Habitat for Humanity has purchased a home on Eighth Street for a family. It will be remodeled with volunteer labor and then sold to the family. The budget for the remodel will be $25,000 and includes new HVAC, flooring and drywall. Once the project begins, Rau encouraged volunteers to come help.
— A building permit was approved for replacement of a driveway and sidewalks.
— The Housing Council met prior to the council meeting and approved two applications for 50% Tax Abatement for 5 years for two new homes. Council followed the recommendation of the Housing Council and moved to approve both abatements.
— Credit card policy update was reviewed and accepted by council contingent to the Fiscal Officer removing the bank name from the policy.
— Mayor Miller informed council that Fort Jennings State Bank has filed a Branch Application with the State of Ohio to place a branch of their bank in the Village. The application will take 30-60 days for approval.

— Council approved placing two stop signs, 25 mile speed limit signs and Children at Play signs in the area of First & Maple Streets as recommended by Police Chief Hardy.
— Report: It was noted that the village's water consumption was elevated last week. After careful monitoring, it was determined there was a leak somewhere in the village so a Leak Detecting company was called in. The leak was found to be along Maple Street where an improperly installed water tap had cracked after the road had been paved. Saturday, they repaired the leak and the water usage is back to where it should be.
— One sealed bid was received on the Fire Department Equipment Van, a bid of $2500 was given by Mark Wakeham. Council approved the bid. They also discussed that a condition of the sale is that all writing identifying it as a fire truck and belonging to the village must be removed prior to using the vehicle.
— Darby asked council if they wanted to continue to support the Putnam County CIC with a donation as it has in the past. Council moved to continue at the same donation as years past.

The yellow metals conceded some of its recent gains this week, falling back despite a renewal in concerns around the health of the ongoing trade talks between the US and China.
President Trump announced this week that he will not be meeting with the Chinese premier ahead of the March 1st deadline as had been expected. As such, the market is now fearful over the health of the talks and the likelihood of a deal being made.
Indeed, speaking with US reporters this week, White House advisor Lawrence Kudlow said that a "sizeable difference" remains between the two countries regarding the issue of trade. Despite the knock to risk sentiment, which has seen equities trading lower, the USD was a stronger beneficiary, leading to a higher USD over the week and weighing on gold.


Waking up in the bottom of the deepest canyon in North America is wondrous.
Before the sun peaks over the towering canyon walls in Hells Canyon, the smell of coffee brewing floats into the tent on the warm morning air. After rolling off the cushy sleeping pad and out of the warm sleeping bag, you make your way down the sandy path to the river kitchen. There waiting is the largest pot of coffee you've ever seen and some fresh Idaho fruit to nibble on. Other early risers sit in the riverside dining room all staring at the opposite canyon wall, hopefully searching for the white fur of a mountain goat and it's baby to pop their heads out of the dark lava rocks. A break from phones and internet feels great while getting a chance to spend time with friends and family. With the smell of bacon wafting in the air, breakfast is served: banana bread french toast, real maple syrup, thick crispy bacon, scrambled eggs, yogurt and homemade granola. The sun breaks over the canyon wall and the day immediately starts to heat up. It's time to get rafting on the Snake River.
8000 feet below the peaks of the Seven Devils and Blue Mountains, the rafts float the wide river for long stretches of calm meandering water leading to Class II-IV rapids with big splashy rowdy waves. Fishermen (and fisher kids) pluck smallmouth bass and trout out of the Snake River with excitement.
Lore of 8…10…12 foot toothless dinosaur fish called sturgeon is told as your guide gets ready to drop a line that looks like it's ready to pull in a small whale.
Jokes and laughter fill the boat until the whizz of the fishing line and pulling of the boat catch attention. Someone grabs the rod and starts reeling it in until you can just see the outline of the huge fish below the water. It whips it's massive body around and just like that it's off the line and swimming back down into the depths of the river. The sturgeon made off with the bait, but there are plenty more holes to fish downriver.
The day heats up quickly and the cool river water feels extremely refreshing while swimming, splashing and kayaking. The guides row the rafts to shore and lead a hike to pictographs painted by people thousands of years ago and remains of old homesteads from the early 1900's. Back at the riverside beach, lunch is waiting: freshly baked croissants, chicken salad, homemade asian noodle salad, warm gooey cookies, chips and cold drinks. Everyone parks themselves in the shade to eat.
After lunch the rafting, swimming, kayaking, and fishing continues until the familiar blue raft at shore is visible, signaling you've arrived at camp. Now there's plenty of time to relax: swim, bathe, read a book, take a nap, fish, play beach games or just pull up a chair with your toes in the sand. Next thing you know, there's warm baked brie with grapes beside you and an offer for tonight's specialty cocktail: fresh margaritas. Dinner is served a little while later: pineapple BBQ chicken with grilled pineapple, peppers and onions, coconut rice, salad, and hot freshly baked cornbread. Everyone enjoys dinner family style in the riverside dining room sharing stories and laughs from their day. A warm chocolate cake appears out of a Dutch Oven served with berries and whipped cream.
The day feels full and long, and bed is enticing. The Idaho sky above is crystal clear and chock full of thousands of stars.
The view is just too good to miss, so the sleeping pad gets pulled out of the tent, and you cozy up in your sleeping bag, trying to keep your eyes open to look at the stars as long as possible, knowing tomorrow will be another great day rafting on the Snake River.
From scratch delicious restaurant quality food served riverside: pineapple BBQ chicken, hot fresh cornbread, grilled vegetables, and cole slaw.
America's Rafting Company offers 3, 4 & 5 Day Whitewater Rafting Trips in Hells Canyon from May through September. To learn more, check out the Hells Canyon Rafting Trip details here or give us a call at (208)347-3862.

To address the need for application security in the digital transformation era, F5 is releasing a new host of products and services.
"The digital transformation has really changed security as a whole," says Preston Hogue, Director of Security Marketing and Competitive Intelligence. What he means is that everything—EVERYTHING—is moving to the cloud. Think about the companies from years ago, such as Blockbuster, versus their modern counterparts, like Netflix or Hulu. Think about the fact that most of today's twenty-somethings have never set foot in a physical bank branch, but use online banking daily. Now think about the fact that every service I've mentioned so far has an application, which is the primary method of interaction for users.
The application is the new perimeter and identity is the key to that perimeter. Over 70% of all data breaches occur by accessing applications. At F5, we are focused on securing our customers' applications; both by securing access to the apps, and by securing the apps themselves where they reside.
We spoke with Preston about the newest security products F5 is launching, and how they're using Webroot BrightCloud® IP Reputation intelligence to help power their solutions.
Webroot: Tell us a little bit about the security launch. What should we expect to see?
Preston Hogue: First, we are launching a family of dedicated security products called Herculon. The first two components of the Herculon product family are the Herculon SSL Orchestrator and the Herculon DDoS Hybrid Defender. These products are dedicated to solving the challenges of SSL/TLS encrypted traffic and ensuring application availability.
Second, we're announcing a new service called Silverline WAF Express, which will give customers easy, self-service access to our cutting-edge web application firewall. We've been deploying web application firewalls on premises for some time and also offer a fully managed service. Since some customers don't have the time or resources to install and maintain the software, or maintain the racks and stack and everything within their environment, we're giving them a simpler self-service experience.
Our focus on securing applications means our overall threat research is geared toward application threat intelligence—really trying to get to the root cause of the 70+% of data breaches I mentioned previously—so we're also announcing increased investment in our F5 Labs threat intelligence team.
Last but not least, we're also announcing that the services of our security incident response team (SIRT), a dedicated team of highly trained individuals within the support organization, are now available to all F5 customers around the world. This team will be the highest level of escalation for security and service response.
Since threat intelligence is such a huge component of your offerings, what should your target customers consider when choosing threat intelligence sources for themselves?
There are a lot of companies that offer threat intelligence, but it's challenging because they all claim a kind of broad, generic expertise. We advise that customers look for specificity; for targeted, actionable information that pertains to what they're trying to do. Looking at a company like Webroot, you've taken on very specific aspects of threat intelligence and you've been able to master those particular areas—like the Webroot IP reputation intelligence that we integrate.
We see a lot of organizations trying to take on too much. That's why we're very definitive about the scope of what we're trying to accomplish, and why we focus on leveraging our application security expertise around threats and ensuring we can provide very specific, clear, actionable threat intelligence with F5 Labs.
What do you hope your customers will gain by implementing your solutions with Webroot BrightCloud IP Reputation intelligence?
We know we have the expertise when it comes to understanding the overall threat to an application. We partner with companies like Webroot for insight into a particular aspect of threats; in Webroot's case, it's insight into IP addresses and additional threat information around user agents and anonymous proxies. We're very specific in our threat intelligence, and we know we're not always able to show the entire picture on our own. So we are able to fill in other areas of the overall threat landscape through our partnerships to ensure that we can give our customers the full picture they need.
How do you see the F5 security launch changing the security industry?
F5 has been in application security for over 20 years. From what we've seen, digital transformation is changing security as a whole. It has driven applications out of the data center and into the cloud. That means there are 3.2 billion users on the internet, who all potentially have access to these applications, which makes them a big target for breaches. Because of our expertise within the field, F5 is in the perfect position to provide visibility into this threat landscape, and also the control our customers need to achieve a secure application experience.
Learn more about Webroot BrightCloud IP Reputation intelligence. Or, for more information about F5's security launch, read the press release.

Q: CSRF issues when integrating TinyMCE image upload with CakePHP 3.8 I'm using CakePHP 3.8 to create a CMS for a website. I need a simple WYSIWYG editor with image upload.  I'd previously used CKEditor, but was having problems getting the image upload working, so thought I'd try TinyMCE instead.
So, I downloaded TinyMCE 5 (with all standard plugins), linked it in in the head section of my page, and created a form with a TinyMCE textarea like this:
<fieldset>
    <legend>New Page</legend>
    <?php
        echo $this->Flash->render();
        echo $this->Form->create($newpage);
        echo $this->Form->control('title');
        echo $this->Form->control('content',
                      array('label' => 'Page Content',
                            'type' => 'textarea',
                            'id' => 'editor_area'));
        echo $this->Form->button('Save');
        echo $this->Form->end();
    ?>
</fieldset>

<script>
    tinymce.init({
        selector:'#editor_area',
        height: 500,
        menubar: false,
        images_upload_url: '<?php echo IMG_UPLOAD_URL ?>',
        toolbar: [
            'undo redo | cut copy paste | styleselect | bold italic underline removeformat | alignleft aligncenter alignright | charmap | bullist numlist | link image'
        ],
        plugins: ['advlist lists link autolink image charmap imagetools code']
    });
</script>

This works fine, text area appears with the editor etc. The upload url in images_upload_url points to the following UploadsController.php (I've left out the details for brevity; can add them in if needed):
<?php
namespace App\Controller\Admin;

use App\Controller\AppController;

class UploadsController extends AppController
{

    public function uploadImage() {

        $result = array();
        $result['success'] = 'success';

        // Process file upload

        return $this->response->withType('application/json')
                    ->withStringBody(json_encode($result));

    }

}

When I upload an image, I get the following error in the console:
Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 403 (Forbidden)

The output from CakePHP shows the error:
Error: CSRF token mismatch.

The debugger shows that the POST includes the following:

I'm not sure where to go from here.
(Or if there's a more straightforward way to include a free/inexpensive WYSIWYG editor with a decent image/file uploader, I'm open to suggestions! It's a website for a school, so budget is very small and can't be a monthly cost.)

A: The cookie data is only one part of the CSRF protection mechanism, the client needs to send the CSRF token in either the request data or the X-CSRF-Token header too.
I'm not overly familiar with TinyMCE image uploads, but looking at the docs, you'll probably need a custom upload handler, where you can add additional data, the CSRF token that is.
Taking the example from the TinyMCE docs, the handler could look something like this, where the CSRF token is appended to the form data:
images_upload_handler: function (blobInfo, success, failure) {
    var xhr, formData;

    xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
    xhr.withCredentials = false;
    xhr.open('POST', <?= json_encode(IMG_UPLOAD_URL) ?>);

    xhr.onload = function() {
        var json;

        if (xhr.status != 200) {
            failure('HTTP Error: ' + xhr.status);
            return;
        }

        json = JSON.parse(xhr.responseText);

        if (!json || typeof json.location != 'string') {
            failure('Invalid JSON: ' + xhr.responseText);
            return;
        }

        success(json.location);
    };

    formData = new FormData();
    formData.append('file', blobInfo.blob(), blobInfo.filename());
    // append CSRF token in the form data
    formData.append('_csrfToken', <?= json_encode($this->request->getParam('_csrfToken')) ?>);

    xhr.send(formData);
}

Also according to the docs the response JSON must contain a property named location that contains the web path to the uploaded file, that might be in the code that you've left out, mentioning it just in case.

Eight tigers, lioness die in transit to Siberian circus
Published time: 22 Dec, 2009 17:33 Edited time: 30 Jul, 2010 16:21
Eight Indian tigers and an African lioness have died while being carried by a truck to a circus in Yakutsk, East Siberia. Police said the animals were poisoned by the vehicle's exhaust.
The nine animals belonged to the Mechta circus from Krasnoyarsk, about 3800 kilometers from the destination point of Yakutsk. According to RIA Novosti news agency, they were carried by a Russian-made Kamaz truck, along with one more animal, a Himalayan snow-bear. The transport arrived safely in the city of Khabarovsk on the Russian Pacific coast, and started to Yakutsk. Upon arrival, the circus staff found that the big cats were all dead.
Local police have said that they are performing a forensic examination to establish the exact cause of death, but according to preliminary estimations, the animals were poisoned by carbon monoxide in the truck's exhaust.
The bear was also poisoned but survived the journey.
The police source added that the circus team who should have taken care of the transported animals were instead found to be drinking at the time.

Food additives are substances added to food to preserve flavor or enhance its taste, appearance, or other qualities.

Purposes

Additives are used for many purposes but the main uses are:

Acids  Food acids are added to make flavors "sharper", and also act as preservatives and antioxidants. Common food acids include vinegar, citric acid, tartaric acid, malic acid, folic acid, fumaric acid, and lactic acid.
Acidic
Acidity regulators  Acidity regulators are used to change or otherwise control the acidity and alkalinity of foods.
Anticaking agents  Anticaking agents keep powders such as milk powder from caking or sticking.
Antifoaming agents  Antifoaming agents reduce or prevent foaming in foods.
Antioxidants  Antioxidants such as vitamin C act as preservatives by inhibiting the effects of oxygen on food, and can be beneficial to health.
Bulking agents  Bulking agents such as starch are additives that increase the bulk of a food without affecting its nutritional value.
Food coloring  Colorings are added to food to replace colors lost during preparation, or to make food look more attractive.
Color retention agents  In contrast to colorings, color retention agents are used to preserve a food's existing color.
Emulsifiers  Emulsifiers allow water and oils to remain mixed together in an emulsion, as in mayonnaise, ice cream, and homogenized milk.
Flavors  Flavors are additives that give food a particular taste or smell, and may be derived from natural ingredients or created artificially.
Flavor enhancers  Flavor enhancers enhance a food's existing flavors. They may be extracted from natural sources (through distillation, solvent extraction, maceration, among other methods) or created artificially.
Flour treatment agents  Flour treatment agents are added to flour to improve its color or its use in baking.
Glazing agents Glazing agents provide a shiny appearance or protective coating to foods.
Humectants  Humectants prevent foods from drying out.
Tracer gas Tracer gas allow for package integrity testing to prevent foods from being exposed to atmosphere, thus guaranteeing shelf life.
Preservatives  Preservatives prevent or inhibit spoilage of food due to fungi, bacteria and other microorganisms.
Stabilizers  Stabilizers, thickeners and gelling agents, like agar or pectin (used in jam for example) give foods a firmer texture. While they are not true emulsifiers, they help to stabilize emulsions.
Sweeteners  Sweeteners are added to foods for flavoring. Sweeteners other than sugar are added to keep the food energy (calories) low, or because they have beneficial effects for diabetes mellitus and tooth decay.
Thickeners  Thickeners are substances which, when added to the mixture, increase its viscosity without substantially modifying its other properties.

Caffeine and other GRAS (generally recognized as safe) additives such as sugar and
salt are not required to go through the regulation process.

Whārangi 1. Understanding New Zealand national identity

National identity is a form of social identity – meaning people's understanding of who they are in relation to others. National identity is a shared understanding of the characteristics and behaviours that distinguish one nation from other nations.
National identity is not fixed and has multiple strands.
Different people and groups view the nation in different ways. A Southland farmer may describe New Zealand identity differently from a Pacific person in South Auckland.
National identity may change depending on the situation. Many people notice that being a New Zealander means something different to them when they travel overseas.
Internal national identity may be different from external identity. An external identity is how a nation state presents itself to other peoples and countries. A strong external identity helps a country to have a strong diplomatic presence internationally and to advance national economic interests. Major export-oriented industries, such as education and tourism, rely for their success on a positive external image or 'national brand'.
National identities evolve over time. New Zealand identity has changed due to the shifting relationship with Britain, changing relationships among Māori, Pākehā and newer New Zealanders, and the interaction of New Zealand with other countries and cultures.
Expressions of identity
National identity is expressed in many different ways. In New Zealand's case these include:
deliberate promotion of images by the state through symbols like flags or coins, immigration propaganda or tourist advertising, or through displays such as international exhibitions
the performance of New Zealanders internationally in war or in sport
major political acts that attract international attention, such as when New Zealand banned visits by nuclear-powered and -armed ships
artistic portrayals, in films, books, art or music.
The overseas view
The external image of New Zealand may be quite different from the way locals see it. In 2004 a contributor to a web page of ideas about New Zealand wrote: 'I close my eyes and just imagine what "New Zealand" will be like, and I get the best vibes, the cool ocean wind relaxing my senses, the blue skies making me fly, the lovely grass caressing me like a newborn and the people treating me like one of their own. All this when I haven't even seen New Zealand, what happens when I actually do?'1
Māori identity
Before the European settlement of New Zealand, Māori tribes did not share an overarching national identity. The 1835 Declaration of the Independence of New Zealand by the Confederation of United Tribes, and the choice of an ensign known as the United Tribes' flag, introduced some symbols of a shared identity. However, this did not mean that there was a single national indigenous political authority and shared identity. Indeed, the signing of the Treaty of Waitangi in 1840 by chiefs of iwi from around the country may suggest that the British Crown made a treaty with the leaders of many nations, not a single nation with a unified identity.
Colonialism and New Zealand identity
After New Zealand became a colony of the United Kingdom, largely peopled by British settlers, the relationship with 'Home' (Britain) was a central focus of identity. The extent of loyalty to Britain varied over time – but at least from the late 19th century until the 1950s New Zealand's identity was contained within an imperial identity. New Zealanders saw their country as playing a special role as a loyal member of the British Empire, and for a long time New Zealand aspired to be a 'Britain of the South'.
Until the 1960s few New Zealanders yearned for an identity independent of the empire. Since then there has been a stronger sense of a separate identity, located firmly in the South Pacific.
Contested identity
Social struggles from the 1960s onwards showed that, as in every nation, New Zealanders had diverse understandings of their country and its identity. This contrasted with the memory of united suffering and identity from the first and second world wars. Debate about New Zealand involvement in the Vietnam War, the anti-nuclear movement, and the 1981 Springbok rugby tour provoked conflict among New Zealanders as to the nature of their country. Debate also existed about whether New Zealand was a bicultural or multicultural nation, and whether it should see itself as part of Asia, as a Pacific nation, or as still closely linked to the United Kingdom.

Chapter 124: The Drunkard's Intention is not the Wine*
*(醉翁之意不在酒) Idiom referring to having ulterior motives.
Xiao Tang watched Shen Jintai leave and immediately called Li Meilan, who was accompanying her child to get a vaccination. When she heard the details, she immediately stood up from her seat and shouted, "What?!"
She handed her child to her husband and walked quickly to the entrance of the hospital. "Hasn't he been very cold to President Yan recently?"
She's been as happy as the gold powder recently.
Xiao Tang: "I don't know what happened, but Brother Jin took the initiative to invite him."
Li Meilan: "Today, President Yan came to visit the crew. Did you tell the fans?"
"According to the old rules, I told a few old fans," Xiao Tang said.
Recently, every time Yan Qiuchi came to visit the crew, Li Meilan asked Xiao Tang to do a live broadcast to a few old fans so they could post the event on various gold powders groups. This was so that they could plan ahead.
Although Shen Jintai was currently adamant that he would not fall in love with Yan Qiuchi, she was afraid that if a man like Yan Qiuchi was pursuing him so ardently, Shen Jintai would eventually fall, and she couldn't help but prepare for the worst possible outcome.
Facts had proven that these several real-time broadcasts were quite effective. A number of small gold fans have begun to defect, saying things like, "It's good if my brother is happy."
But it's still not enough.
"I hope he has a clear mind and won't be coaxed by President Yan's sweet words." Li Meilan said.
Xiao Tang asked suspiciously, "President Yan… does he even know how to talk sweetly?"
Li Meilan: "Hehe, there isn't a man alive who can't talk sweetly. Have you ever seen a male peacock who can't unfold its feather?"
Shen Jintai was sitting in the back of the car, looking at Yan Qiuchi in front of him. He couldn't believe he got into Yan Qiuchi's car. In fact, he was surprised at himself for being so impulsive. Perhaps it was due to the scenes that he had filmed today that were pretty sadistic that his mood had been low for no apparent reason, yet once he entered Yan Qiuchi's car, the mood quickly dissipated without a trace and instead his fighting spirit appeared in his heart.
He had to face his current predicament. He only had half a year left before he ran out of time. He must choose between Yan Qiuchi and Bai Qingquan. Before today, he had been hesitant with this decision, but now Xiao Ai had given him insight into the answer he was looking for.
When Xiao Ai told him that Bai Qingquan had fallen in love with him, what he felt wasn't the joy of finally realizing his dream but panic and anxiety. Confirming that it was only temporary due to his acting, he actually breathed a sigh of relief.
He knew that it was impossible for him to attack Bai Qingquan again, as he now realized his feelings for Yan Qiuchi. For him, the best option was to find someone he liked who liked him back. With this determination in mind, he needed to consider an important question.
Whether there would be harmony or discord, whether he could afford to eat or not, this he didn't think about. He couldn't change things that objectively exist, so he would start from where he had control. He desired to possess Yan Qiuchi. This was important to him!
Comparing himself to Yan Qiuchi, he was 1.8 meters while Yan Qiuchi was 1.9. Yan Qiuchi's was 18-19 cm, while his was about 13… 14 on a good day. Needless to say, he had already seen Yan Qiuchi naked. His figure may appear thin, but beneath those clothes was a thigh thicker than his waist, the kind that would remain strong even at 60, and he had been officially certified by Xiao Ai.
In conclusion, even he had to admit with shame that when two 1's meet, there must be a 0, and he most likely has to be that 0.
And in this way, another problem arises. He couldn't bear it. If he falls into Yan Qiuchi's hands, with that kind of energy a 25-year-old has, coupled with his talents, and added to his skin hunger and thirst… Holy fucking shit… His scalp was about to go numb just thinking about it.
Thus, he must firmly grasp the initiative and fascinate Yan Qiuchi to the point where he could possibly send him into a state of confusion. If it was his destiny, he must accept it and carry it out with dignity!
Shen Jintai closed his eyes and took a deep breath. For a moment, he was glad he had received so many beautiful and sexy rewards. With his current face and figure, he would have no problem holding an old virgin, right?
"Ding Dong! Dear!"
Shen Jintai: "…Haven't you been appearing too frequently recently?"
"Dear, Xiao Ai is excited!"
"You go away. It's all your fault that I fell to this point!"
"Dear, apart from giving you rewards, have we forced you to do anything? Even if we gave you the task of attacking, the fact is, you haven't done anything that could even count as attacking, have you? Despite your intentions to attack Bai Yueguang, you have not seduced him in any way. You merely acted with him, and it was your acting that charmed and impressed him, winning you his favor. Even more so, on the side of the male protagonist, you didn't even have a clue that he liked you, and now you're avoiding his pursuit. He fell for you because you are excellent, but that had nothing to do with us! We are innocent, as are you, in this matter. Everything was due to fate!"
"Xiao Ai, you sure can talk with that small mouth of yours."
"Xiao Ai is just stating the facts! So dear, don't have any burden and attack Yan Qiuchi for your happiness!"
"You have to make it clear. Is it happiness, or sex?" He felt like the latter word just came out of his mouth without any thought.
"Aiya! How I hate that I'm a member of this Love Harmony System!"
"Huh?!"
So you now you remember that you're sent by the Love Harmony System?! Are you sure you're not from Haitang City*?!
*(海棠市) Another site similar to jjwxc but they have more smut.
Yan Qiuchi was surprised. He was prepared to be ignored since he had "forcibly" kissed Shen Jintai twice, Shen Jintai had been a lot colder to him. But in this moment, Shen Jintai was sitting in his car, wanting to go for a drink with him. Naturally, he couldn't let this opportunity pass and immediately thought of a good place.
He took Shen Jintai to a small tavern that was inconspicuous and located in a deep alley. It was an old restaurant that had been operating for nearly a hundred years. The best part is that it ran on a membership system, so it had excellent privacy.
Shen Jintai got out of the car wearing a mask and looked down the alley. It looked old and dingy. There was an old willow tree at the entrance with a red lantern hanging on it that showed: [Happy Tavern].
He glanced at Yan Qiuchi. Neither the name nor the appearance of this tavern looked impressive. The only highlight was that it looked antique from the outside. Through the closed door, one could hear the sound of a pipa coming from inside. A female voice was faintly heard singing.
Yan Qiuchi said, "It looks inconspicuous outside, but marvelous inside. Let's go."
A doorman came out to greet them, and the waitress in a cheongsam with high heels on led them in. "President Yan, please follow me."
"A regular?" Shen Jintai said.
Yan Qiuchi: "Honestly, this is my second time here. During the Mid-Autumn Festival last year, I came with Xiao Yang once. I thought this place was not bad, and the drinks were pretty good."
Shen Jintai followed and walked in, only to find that there was an entirely different world inside. It was like those scenic garden spots he had visited before. There were pavilions and seats made of stone. To one side was a bamboo forest and there was duckweed and lotus flowers floating in the lake. However, compared to those ordinary gardens, this place was filled with the scent of wine.
"What a nice place," Shen Jintai said it sincerely.
"There are very few people here, so you can take off your mask," Yan Qiuchi said.
Shen Jintai took off his mask when he heard this. The beautiful waitress glanced back and showed a surprise look on her face, probably due to recognizing him, but didn't say anything. She led them into a private room and said, "Mr. Shen, this way, please."
Shen Jintai smiled and said, "Thank you."
The face of the beautiful waitress instantly turned red.
After entering, he found that the private room was next to a pond of clear water. There was a pavilion on the other side with a woman in a cheongsam who was playing a pipa while singing a song. It was like he had ascended into the immortal realm.
Yan Qiuchi: "What do you want to drink?"
"I don't know much about wine, so you choose." Shen Jintai said.
Yan Qiuchi said, "Then an order of daughter's wine, and two bottles of flower wine, one peach blossom and the other osmanthus."
When the waitress left, Yan Qiuchi said, "Their daughter's wine is the most authentic. It's a recipe that has been passed down for nearly a hundred years. People like me, who don't like drinking, find it very mellow and not spicy. Osmanthus and peach blossoms are sweet wines, so you may like those as well."
The waitress quickly came back and brought the wine. The peach blossom wine was in a pink ceramic bottle that had peach blossom patterns at the top, while the osmanthus was in a white ceramic bottle with osmanthus patterns painted on the top. All the waitstaff were dressed in cheongsam and wore their hair in a bun. The daughter's wine was drunk directly, while the flower wines were blended on the spot. Coke and ice were added, then it was topped with fresh lemon slices. Finally, the peach blossom and osmanthus wine were poured in, turning one drink pink and the other golden. Shen Jintai thought this scene was very visually appealing.
"Have you bought this wine for Auntie Fang?" he asked.
Yan Qiuchi: "No."
"Then I'll buy her a few bottles, and you can take them back for me," Shen Jintai said.
Yan Qiuchi smiled and said, "Okay."
Besides this small talk, nothing else was said. They sipped on wine quietly as Shen Jintai rested on the railing, watching the girl from across the pond while listening to her music. As he watched her, Yan Qiuchi watched him.
He wasn't sure what Shen Jintai's intentions were, and he didn't dare do or say anything needlessly. The environment was pleasant, the wine was intoxicating, and the melody was soothing. The autumn breeze blew ripples in the pond as red koi fish surfaced, making Shen Jintai's side profile even more beautiful and leaving him speechless.
Shen Jintai was used to being watched because he was frequently behind the camera. He kept his gaze on the girl and knew that Yan Qiuchi was watching him. He stared blankly, unsure of what was going on in his mind.
It wasn't long ago that he was avoiding Yan Qiuchi's pursuit, but now he was sitting in front of him with a goal in mind as he let Yan Qiuchi's eyes invade him. Bai Qingquan was right—in life, anything was possible when you were still alive.
Likewise, Yan Qiuchi was the same. He wasn't thinking about anything either, as his attention was drawn to Shen Jintai's ears. His fair skin only accentuated his white ears, which were gradually flushing, signaling to Yan Qiuchi that Shen Jintai knew he was watching him yet pretending not to know so he could continue watching.
Yan Qiuchi put one hand on the railing and tapped his fingers repeatedly. The wine had entered his body and caused his internal organs to grow hot. His heart was already held in the palm of Shen Jintai's hand. He was anxious when Shen Jintai had been cold to him a few days ago, but now that he was having a relaxing drink with him, his heart was filled with ambiguity again.
This ambiguity was too enticing and provocative. It was like a breath being held in one's chest, becoming so uncomfortable that they wanted to let it out but were too afraid the exhale would be too big, so they slowly breathed out, letting only half the air out. This only made the feeling more suffocating and left them severely dissatisfied.
You are not the one who suffers in the end!
Finally, we've made some headway! I'm here just waiting for my smut, I mean the plot.

More than six years after Oklahoma City police officers took nearly $120,000 from Quociong Da Ngo, they have finally been ordered to return the money to him. At the time, police used a process known as civil asset forfeiture to seize the money. This meant that, even though he was cleared of any crime, Ngo still had to fight in court to get his money back.
On Jan. 26, 2012, a police officer pulled Ngo over for using his turn signal for only a short time before changing lanes on Interstate 40 in Oklahoma City. Ngo was also driving 10 miles an hour below the speed limit. He explained to the officer that he had rented the car for a vacation and had traveled all the way from Florida, stopping in Georgia and Arkansas.
After examining the rental agreement, the officer asked to search the car. Ngo consented. The officer found cash amounting to $119,820 in three sealed bags. The police officer arrested Ngo, who was later charged with possession of drug proceeds. Additionally, law enforcement began civil asset forfeiture proceedings to take possession of the cash.
In May 2013, having found no evidence of drugs or any other criminal activities, law enforcement dropped the criminal charges against Ngo. However, they refused to return his money.
In Oklahoma, up to 100 percent of the proceeds of civil asset forfeiture seizures may be kept by law enforcement agencies. Since law enforcement can be the primary beneficiary of civil asset forfeiture procedures, this has led to accusations of "policing for profit" by groups across the political spectrum. These groups argue that the system incentivizes the police to carry out civil asset forfeitures. Between 2000 and 2014, the proceeds of civil asset forfeiture netted Oklahoma law enforcement agencies $98,986,490, which amounts to an average of $6,599,099 each year.
In Ngo's case, prosecutors argued that the vacuum-sealed bags Ngo had stored his money in were, in fact, drug paraphernalia. The court disagreed, arguing prosecutors had shown no connection between the money and a violation of the UCDSA.
Even though the court ordered the state to give Ngo his money back, prosecutors appealed the decision, further dragging out the legal process.
The Oklahoma Court of civil appeals confirmed the decision of the lower court, saying "the state presented no evidence to support a nexus between the Defendant Currency and a violation of UCDSA Act." The appeals court ordered the full amount of Ngo's money be returned to him together with the interest earned since the money had been seized.
