Filipino Entrepreneur – Dowel Deligos, Adobo Authentic Filipino Cuisine

Filipino Entrepreneur Dowel Deligos,
Adobo Authentic Filipino Cuisine – Muscat, Oman
Why did you establish your own business? Can you tell us when and how you started?
I started Adobo Restaurant in March 28, 2014. I worked at Muscat Duty Free when I came to Oman as a Marketing Executive and decided to establish my own business along with the help of my Omani business partners, Ibrahim and Salim.
I wanted to serve authentic Filipino cuisine to the Filipino community, locals and foreigners in Muscat and the surrounding areas, and to become a introduce and popularize Filipino cuisine to other nationalities. We concentrate on dishes from the southern regions of the Philippines so as to offer something different from the usual fare of Filipino restaurants in Oman. These are dishes that I would normally cook at home. As our aim is to extend our customer base beyond the Filipino community, we are endeavoring to cook and present our dishes at a high standard of home cooking quality and family-style serving.
What was your start-up capital and your basic operations set-up? (How did you operate? How many employees? What about your place of business?
The seed money for a business here in Oman is quite high compared to that in the Philippines. The capital paid for the essential infrastructure of the business, such as the restaurant seating setup, and kitchen and cooking equipment.
We started off with a staff of three, including me, and as the business grew, we were able to afford to hire one staff more after five months. As of now, we are planning to increase our staff with three more people coming in, after we get the Ministry approvals for Visa availability.
We are located in the Seeb area of Muscat, on a quiet street off the main road. The interior set up of the restaurant is very typical and traditional Filipino style where you will feel the atmosphere of dining in a bahay-kubo. There is also a collection of Filipino ornaments like ukulele, sungka, native fans and hats, lamparilya, and native plates.
What obstacles did you encounter?
The core problem is having to wait an entire year before the business plan could be practically implemented. There was also the issue of business partners; these were changed three times during the course of events. Next, we had to overcome the bureaucratic hassles involved in procuring work Visas for our Filipino staff contingent and securing the various municipality approvals regarding such issues. Also of prime concern was ascertaining tastes in the line of food and beverages.
Where are you now? How far have you gone? What are the landmarks in your business so far?
We started the business with four Filipino staff, including myself, and we are planning to soon employ more staff this year as the business grows and the number of our guests increase. In God's will, we are targeting to expand in the next two years.
We are now in the stage of promoting the traditional Filipino way of eating—'kamayan' style. Along with this is the use of banana leaves in lieu of plates. We are proud to share Filipino food and culture to locals and foreigners, and to our kababayans who miss this style of eating now that they are away from our homeland.
We have a menu which offers a great variety of meat, fish, noodles, and vegetarian dishes, along with an assortment of desserts. As well as offering traditional Filipino drinks, we have been innovative in our concoctions by devising a number of unique blends based on different Filipino-inspired themes, such as the Mt. Mayon Lava, Boracay Island and Sandugo drinks.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of being an entrepreneur?
The disadvantage is that you'll never know whether or not you will succeed. The risk factor is always there, as well as the vagaries of the marketplace.
However, there are also advantages, such as being able to set my own high standards and striving to achieve goals. It feels satisfying to see what you have accomplished. We at adobo AFC Restaurant are in the process of perpetual improvement and innovation, and we aim to provide quality service to our valued customers.
Would you encourage other Filipinos to go into business? What is your advice to budding Filipino entrepreneurs?
Yes, I would recommend that my fellow Pinoys to go into business. For those who are willing to take a calculated risk and run the bureaucratic gauntlet, the rewards are great. But diligence, patience, hard work, sheer dedication, and perseverance are the qualities which are the 'order of the day' for any budding entrepreneur.

I vibe with Dowel's views of entrepreneurship. Sure we take on risks but being free and freeing others and enjoying the ride is worth any risks taken. I've circled the globe for 53 months straight. 7 years ago I was a pier guard sitting in a shipping terminal. Going entrepreneur made the difference. Focus more on the freedom of being a business person more than the uncomfortable stuff which arises on this journey and you'll be A-OK. Thanks for the super inspired share. If I visit Oman I'm there.

Good on you, Ryan! Wish you more success!

Council unanimously approved the appointing of its contracted redevelopment attorney firm to work on potential development at what is locally known as the Romerovski property. The governing body approved $9,300 to have Savo, Schalk, Gillespie, O'Grodnick & Fisher, P.A. The firm was appointed earlier this year in January at a rate of $155/hour for attorneys and $45/hour for paralegals.
In 2007, Roselle Park VP, LLC filed litigation papers after the municipality adopted a "Romerovski Redevelopment Plan" that required retail space for the ground floor of one of the two-parcel lots – AvalonBay Communities only develops residential projects. The borough had not addressed its COAH (Council On Affordable Housing) for decades and AvalonBay sued under the premise that it could address COAH by providing 38 Affordable Housing units out of its proposed 249 luxury apartments and the municipality had no right to deny development since it had no legal standing due to a lack of Affordable Housing, which is required by New Jersey Law. In 2009, the municipality reached a settlement with Roselle Park VP LLC that put a stop to a potential Builder's Remedy lawsuit filed. Under terms of the settlement, the municipality would allow the project and address affordable housing through rehabilitation credits and senior housing. The developer had ten years to begin development.
Fernmoor plans to keep the affordable housing component of 15% set-asides while reducing the number of units by 10%.
Savo, Schalk, Gillespie, O'Grodnick & Fisher will work with the municipality to review any proposal for developing the Romerovski property.

Three of the new Global Xpress Ka band satellites have been launched and a fourth is due to follow in 2017.
Global Xpress is a revolutionary new global Ka Band service from Inmarsat using 3 geostationary Ka-band satellites covering the whole globe with the exception of the extreme polar regions.
I-5 F1 at 62.6 East launched December 2013 covers Europe, Middle east and Africa (EMEA).
I-5 F2 at 55 West launched February 2015 covers the Americas.
I-5 F3 at 179.6 East launched August 2015 covers Pacific, Asia and Western americas.
The monthly subscription cost for always-on Internet service is expected to be substantially less that Ku-band services available today.
Inmarsat, who, for the past 33 years, have provided metered (pay by the minute or MB) satcom services to ships at sea, have invested $1.2B in a fleet of satellites providing seamless, global, always-on Internet service.
Inmarsat Fleet Xpress (FX), the maritime version of Global Xpress (GX), has finally arrived and beginning to be installed on vessels.
Global Xpress offers downlink speeds of up to 50Mbps, and uplink speeds up to 5Mbps from maritime VSAT antennas as small as 60cm.
Because Ka-band is even more susceptible to rain fade than Ku-Band services, the KA_band terminals will be paired with Inmarsat Fleet Broadband (L-band) terminals as a backup during rain fade conditions. If the Ka-band service is interruptred for any reason, the system will automatically roll over to the L-band FleetBroadband terminal via the Inmarsat Network Service Device. There is no addional charge when the system uses the L-band FBB service but the bandwidth will be substantially reduced until the Ka-Band link has been restored.
Fleet Xpress requires the installation of a FleetBroadband FBB 250 or FBB500 satellite antenna and the Network Service Device.
Intellian are now offering a complete FX terminal including the GX100 or GX60 Ka-band antenna, the FBB500 antenna, the all-in-one GX below deck terminal containing the ACU, and integrated iDirect GX modem, and Inmarsat's network Service Device to swith between the two antennas when necessary. This is all preconfigured, ready to install, in a rack.
SeaTel, Thrane and Intellian to manufacture Global Xpress terminals.
Inmarsat has selected 3 companies to manufacture the maritime satellite terminals; Cobham SeaTel of California, Thrane and Thrane of Denmark, and Intellian of Korea.The terminals will include a core module developed by iDirect.
These companies will develop, manufacture, test and distribute 60cm and 1m Global Xpress maritime satellite terminals.
Boeing Space and Intelligence Systems are building the three 702HP Inmarsat-5 Ka-band satellites. Harris Corporation will build the satellite antennas using their Gimbal Dish Antenna (GDA) technology.
The satellites will have 95 steerable Ka-band beams to provide global coverage and adapt to changing usage patterns over the projected 15-year operation of the satellites.
Inmarsat has awarded a $60m contract to iDirect to provide the ground network infrastructure and core module technology for the satellite terminals for their Ka-band Global Xpress service.
iDirect will design, develop, manufacture, test and commission the Global Xpress Ground Network Infrastructure, and supply a Global Xpress compatible Core Module (modem) for integration into Maritime satellite terminals.
iDirect will also be producing a range of Global Xpress core modules for the Aeronautical and Government sectors. The network and core modules will be fully consistent with the Global Xpress objective delivering up to 50Mbps downlink speeds to 60cm aperture terminals.
International Launch Services (ILS) will launch the three Inmarsat-5 Global Xpress satellites. The launches, scheduled for 2013-14, will use the ILS Proton launch vehicle from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan.
2 March 2011: Cobham PLC said Wednesday it was selected by Inmarsat to be the maritime terminal launch partner for Inmarsat's new Global Xpress global broadband service, with a distribution opportunity valued at $40 million over the next five years.
Cobham has been awarded contracts to develop, manufacture, test and distribute Global Xpress maritime satellite terminals, through their Sea Tel product line.
As initial launch partner, Cobham will ensure availability of Global Xpress maritime satellite terminals at service introduction planned for 2013.
Global Xpress will begin operations in 2013 with services tailored initially for the government, energy and maritime markets.
Sea Tel will develop, manufacture, test and distribute Global Xpress maritime satellite terminals, and ensure availability of the 60cm Ka-Band terminals when the service is introduced in 2013. The terminals will include a core module developed by iDirect. Sea Tel will distribute the new terminals and provide training and support prior to the launch of the first satellite. The deal is not exclusive, and other manufacturers will also likely produce antennas to operate in the Global Xpress network.
Boeing Space and Intelligence Systems that are building the three 702HP Ka-band satellites have awarded a new contract to Harris Corporation, to build the satellite antennas for the three Inmarsat-5 satellites.The satellites will have 95 steerable Ka-band beams to provide global coverage and adapt to changing usage patterns over the projected 15-year operation of the satellites. The antennas will use Harris's Gimbal Dish Antenna (GDA) technology.

A mother's grief: Mother of Kimani Gray speaks out
by Amsterdam News May 16, 2013 October 19, 2021
"He wasn't a dog. You should have given him a chance. One shot was enough."
Carol Gray is the grieving mother of police shooting victim Kimani Gray. As she prepares to bury her 16-year-old son this weekend, she has a message for the cops, who are led by Police Commissioner Ray Kelly and de facto head of the NYPD, Mayor Michael Bloomberg.
"Haven't you guys done enough? Too many families go through this same thing. Haven't you formed a base where you can retrain these officers how to approach a scene of a crime or whatever? How to deal with juveniles?" Carol Gray asked.
The East Flatbush neighborhood where the young man was shot by the much-sued Officer Jovaniel Cordova and Sgt. Mourad Mourad on Saturday, March 9, remains tense after days of vigils, protests and clashes with police. The official story is that the officers observed Gray hanging with a group of youths, and when confronted by cops, he began fidgeting with his waistband and pulled out a gun. The officers shot at him 11 times, hitting him seven times, at least three times in the back. Several witnesses have stated that Gray had no gun and begged for his life. Cops took a few days to release an image of the gun, and Bloomberg took days before he issued brief comments on the case. This Friday and Saturday, there will be a wake and funeral for the teen.
The officers have been put on modified duty. While the young man's family met with District Attorney Charles Hynes on Wednesday, a "wanted" poster has already popped up on the Internet for the two cops. (See story on page 3.)
Speaking to the Amsterdam News late Tuesday night, alongside Councilman Charles Barron, Carol Gray sent a message to NYPD officers. "You are trained to protect and serve," she charged. "You are trained for situations like this. And my Kimani was not going to come at you, the Kimani I know–because I am not a mom who turns her nose up and does not get involved in my kid's situation. I look at everything. I check in the night. I know what is going on in the street."
Asked if she thought her son had a weapon, Gray told the AmNews, "I wasn't there, but the Kimani who I know would not be walking around with a gun. Kimani walks around with condoms in his pocket. He was responsible. I overheard the conversations he had on the phone with females."
Saying that she told him to be responsible, Gray broke down when another realization hit her. "Unfortunately, I am not going to see that–you know. I won't see what his children would look like–what kind of job he would be holding down. What kind of man he would develop into being," she said.
Often switching from past to present tense when talking about her second-to-last born, Gray said, "Kimani was bright, respectful. He also had struggles because he wanted to do the best for us. He wanted me to be content and stop worrying so much, so he was trying to do the right thing by attending school every day. At the same time, he had struggles because he was a normal teenager.
"I have been reaching out to the Black mothers like me. I don't want them to give up on their children. [I want to] help [the children] fight for their dreams even if they see them going down the wrong lane–still try and fight for them–because they want better, but there is so much peer pressure out there for them."
Gray said that while her son had a 12 a.m. curfew, she had a plan for a sort of emergency youth shelter that would get kids off the street if they had no way to get home. "I always said if I won the lotto, I would build community-based spaces for the kids so that they could have some place safe to go, where they can phone their parents and say they are staying there all night if they need to. Somewhere they could go so they wouldn't be harassed by the cops.
"That's what I wanted for Kimani. A structured department for them–someone they could trust so they don't have to worry about being searched because, 'We are young, our pants are sagging, and I got a do-rag on,' or hoodies on their head–that's my outlook for children of Kimani's age."
It seems both heart- wrenching and therapeutic for the Jamaican native to talk about her loss. Said Gray, "Kimani is one of the most respectable kids in my household. He was a great uncle because I have three grandchildren, and he was very, very helpful." Breaking down again, the grandmom said, "Every day they ask, 'Where is Kimani?' I can't tell them because if they knew, they wouldn't understand."
Gray, who said she had seven children in her household, continued.
"Kimani was aware of the harassment because he had been stopped so many times. I told him that it is about being young and you are walking in a group, and every group is considered to be gang-affiliated. I know, I watch about what gang affiliation is, and Kimani and his group were nowhere close to that. There's no organization, there's no pledges. There's no order. There's no meetings. It is just a group of kids who grew up in the same neighborhood, attend the same public schools and became friends and want to hang out, and then there's other kids from other neighborhoods, and ultimately they become rivals. And you tell them you are not rivals–you are one blood. Kimani has no orders except my order, my curfew, and I am just so sorry that his life has been taken."
Gray mourned, "I just sit in my living room. I won't go to bed. Just waiting and hoping for the bell to ring, and trying not to fall asleep–just hoping Kimani is trying to come home. Kimani has never spent a night out on the street. Maybe life struggles were trying to turn him in a different direction, but I always told him that I was there for him. That education was everything. I told him, 'I am here for you.'"
Gray told the AmNews that she lost her eldest son, Gerard, two years ago in a car accident. "And he was one of Kimani's idols."
As for the slain teen, Gray said that Kimani "wanted to be an architect and build low-income houses because he saw me, his mom, struggle to get an apartment that I could afford. So he wanted to set it up so that young Black kids could have their own room and be comfortable."
Police-community relations have not really recovered from horrendous cases such as Abner Louima, Amadou Diallo, Timothy Stansbury, Sean Bell, Ramarley Graham and Shantel Davis.
"I see on the police cars it says 'courtesy.' I have never seen courtesy," Gray noted. "I have been called 'bitch' and all types of names and watched kids been kicked down, and I have seen children been searched, and I have tried to step in and observe, and the officers have said, 'Mind your business' and stuff like that.
"These officers go around like cowboys rather than serving and protecting, but plainclothes officers move around like they are on their own team, like they are bandits, and if you don't know your rights, they treat you like you are nothing. Every day."
Responding to the massive community response, Gray said, "There is more than frustration. There is anger. There is hurt. I have people more than 60-, 70-something years old crying for Kimani because he would help with their bags, open the door, walk the ladies down the block because they were paranoid. People are very angry, but all I am saying is that we don't want any war; we want peace for Kimani, because any form of war won't bring Kimani back. If you try and leave a message with violence, people are going to get hurt the same as Kimani."
As she makes final arrangements for the wake on Friday and funeral on Saturday, a devastated Gray said, "Kimani wasn't a gang member. He was my son, my baby who just turned 16 four months ago. Me and my community, we are hoping and praying for that–to send a message [to the police], that they have to be more careful how they approach someone. These kids are our future. They are our lawyers, our doctors, our DAs. We have to give them a chance. We want equal rights–not mental slavery."
Gray concluded, "I want justice. I want the truth. I want Kimani's name to be cleared from being a gang member to being a teenaged boy. Gang members don't attend school everyday. Kimani goes to a school where your pants can't hang. He wears dress slacks and button-down shirts and dress-code shoes–and he has to have a hair cut. He was trying in school. He had potential, from me pushing him and teachers caring about him. He had a lot of potential and they took that from me–and took that from him."

Outrage continues with wake, funeral for Kimani Gray


The penultimate day of play, Saturday 14th April, at the Gold Coast 2018 Commonwealth Games started with sheer drama as the Mixed Doubles finalists were decided, both semi-final contests went the full five match distance.
True to tradition, the day ended in a similar vein; England's Paul Drinkhall and Liam Pitchford, the no.2 seeds, won the Men's Doubles title, overcoming India's Sathiyan Gnanasekaran and Sharath Kamal Achanta in the final; a tension packed win in five games (11-5, 10-12, 9-11, 11-6, 11-8).
In fact it was a contest the English duo won five-nil!
After securing the first game, they led 10-8 in the second and then promptly lost the next four points; then in the second they went ahead 9-6 and lost five points in a row. They dominated the fourth game but when the Indian duo recovered from 9-5 in arrears in the fifth game to 9-8, one wondered if there was to be a repeat of the second and third games.
It was third time successful, Paul Drinkhall and Liam Pitchford won the next two points; England celebrated; nobody more so than coach Marcus Sjöberg, he leapt for joy; you would have thought he was standing on white hot charcoal.
"We were losing two-one but really we were ahead three-nil; we felt we'd won those first three games so if we kept playing the same then we knew we could win." Liam Pitchford.
Silver for India, it was also bronze. Harmeet Desai and Sanil Shetty, the no.4 seeds, beat Singapore's Pang Yew En Koen and Ethan Poh Shao Feng to reserve the third step of the podium (11-5, 11-6, 12-10).
A bronze medal for Sanil Shetty, something he never expected two weeks ago; he was the last minute replacement for the injured Soumyajit Ghosh.
Play concludes on Sunday 15th April with the medal matches in the Mixed Doubles and Men's Doubles events.

Indian bishop charged with raping nun
The bishop faces other charges including unlawful detention, unnatural sex and abuse of authority

THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Police on Tuesday charged an Indian bishop with repeatedly raping a nun at a convent in Kerala state in a case that puts a new spotlight on sexual abuse in the Roman Catholic church.
Franco Mulakkal was charged with raping the nun several times between 2014 and 2016, police deputy superintendent of Vaikom district, K. Subash, told AFP.
The bishop faces other charges including unlawful detention, unnatural sex and abuse of authority. Facing a maximum punishment of life imprisonment, Mulakkal has denied the allegations.
Vatican suspends Indian bishop accused of raping nun
Local media said the report backing the charges ran into more than 100 pages and contained testimonies from priests, bishops and nuns.
The victim filed a formal complaint in June last year, but police only started formal questioning in September after fury over the case mounted.
The lack of action provoked outrage and five nuns — in a rare public show of dissent within the church — staged days of protests with dozens of supporters.
Mulakkal was arrested in October before being released on bail. Senior members of the church in the southern state have supported the 55-year-old bishop, however, and he was cheered when he returned to his diocese.
Indian bishop granted bail in nun rape case
Christians — overwhelmingly Catholic — are the third-largest religious group in India. Around 80 per cent of the country's 1.3 billion population is Hindu, followed by a sizeable Muslim minority.
Sexual abuse by clergy and the failure to take action has mired the Roman Catholic Church in scandal across the world in recent years.
In February, Pope Francis publicly addressed sexual abuse of nuns by clerics for the first time, insisting the Vatican takes seriously reports of sexual abuse and the "sexual slavery" of nuns.

Why (La)TeX can not work with true type fonts?
I know that if one wants to use true type fonts, there are solutions via xelatex or lualatex.
My question however is, why it is like so? What is the fundamental difference between latex fonts and ttf that dictates this behavior and how [xe/lua]latex overcome this problem?
the existence of the tfm-file with the metric informations: When using pdftex the tfm-file must exist before the compilation but xetex and luatex can create the information on the fly from the actual font.
The number of glyphs in a font. pdftex can handle only 256 glyphs per tfm. So if the font has more glyphs you must create more than one tfm (and perhaps virtual fonts and .enc-files).
Setting up a font for pdftex needs some time. With xetex and luatex you can normally use it within minutes.
LaTeX font system is really complicated. You can have some idea of why it's very difficult by looking source code of TeX font.
Tex doesn't manipulate fonts, In the first implementation of tex compiler (no PdfLatex,Luatex,...) the tex compiler generates dvi files. This file is finally processes to generate pdf.
Tex only manages metrics. The main job of the tex compiler is putting boxes in the right place into a document. Moreother dviToPdf only manages T1 font (no ttf, no otf).
Moreover Tex only manages code pages that can contain 255 glyphs. (the T1 option of inputenc package specifying the right glyph page to load, some other ones exist depending of the language used).
Fortified by these previous explanations, I can explain the job of converting font.
First you must convert ttf font into T1 (really easy).
Some alternate Tex compiler are able to manage ttf font. If you can, you should consider using these. Like LuaTeX or XeTeX.
I say only a basic introduction of latex font compiling, For droid font the author has worked about 6 month on spare time to achieve this result.
Not the answer you're looking for? Browse other questions tagged fonts tex-core metafont truetype or ask your own question.
Is there a package/website with non-standard LaTeX Type 1 fonts (e.g., calibri)?
How can I use True Type Fonts directly with LaTeX?

The tomb of Jules-Charles-Ernest van Damme (1854–1892) is in the shape of a high-back throne. The granite base is decorated with ornamental bronze grating. This headstone is draped with a ceramic wreath, which is quite unusual. It is much more common to hang wreaths made of real flowers on hooks afixed to the gravestone. A votive lantern completes the scene offered by this new style of tomb, which first began to appear at the end of the 19th century. The white limestone plaque displays meaningful highlights in the life of the interred, and symbolises what it meant to be a "citizen" at the time, i.e. a contributor to the economy, regardless of where one came from (Bruges) or where one worked (Luxembourg).
Jules-Charles-Ernest van Damme was both a Knight in the Order of Leopold – Belgium's highest civilian order – and an Officer in the Luxembourgish Order of the Oak Crown. In both cases, the distinctions were awarded by the sovereign at the time. Jules van Damme and his wife, Fortunée Hannuise (1840–1930), arrived in Luxembourg in 1871, after the Franco-German war. In March 1871, he was appointed as Belgian Consul in Luxembourg, and in 1882, Consul-General. He was Belgium's first official diplomatic representative in Luxembourg. Van Damme was very much part of the social scene in the city: he was one of the founding members of the "Casino de Luxembourg" in 1880 and indeed the only non-Luxembourger in the company, which was set up as a place for business men to meet. Under the governments of Félix de Blochhausen and Edouard Thilges, he oversaw the development of the "Prince Henri" railway system and the steel industry, and advised the Luxembourg government on the introduction of a Civil Code modelled on Belgium's.
In 1888, he took up the position of director of the Italian consulate, at a time when successive economic crises were forcing many poorer Italians to emigrate. At the same time, Luxembourg's steel industry was growing, and needed more labour. Early on after arriving in Luxembourg, van Damme became actively involved in charity work, and his wife would continue these efforts for some twenty years. Jules-Charles Ernest van Damme passed away on 21 March 1892 (not 1893, as displayed on his gravestone). He was given an official funeral. In attendance were an unarmed battalion from Luxembourg's Corps de gendarmes et volontaires (Gendarmes and Volunteers Corps), a military band directed by Gustave Kahnt, the Chair of the Chamber of Deputies, the Chair of the Council of State, the Minister of State, two ministers and several deputies, members of the diplomatic corps and representatives of the Belgian government.

KEVIN K GOT MARRIED
Life With Archie [$3.99] is a full-color comics magazine featuring
two alternate universe series, one in which Archie married Veronica
and another in which he married Betty. Conceived by Michael Uslan
and written by Paul Kupperberg, it's one of the best comics being
published today. It's a soap opera with a touch of science fiction
and, contrary to my usual habits, I read each new issue the day I
receive my subscription copy.
Issue #16 is a milestone issue in which Kevin Keller, who appears
in the "real" Archie comic books, marries the love of his life, Dr.
Clay Walker. They met after Kevin was wounded in the Middle East
while rescuing one of the soldiers under his command and while he
was undergoing torturous rehabilitation. They met again later and
discovered a mutual attraction that grew into love. It's not the
first same-sex marriage in comics, but it's handled so positively
that it deserves all the praise I can muster. That said...I have
three matters to raise which I hope are taken in the constructive
manner intended.
My friend Paul Kupperberg is doing the best writing of his career
on this title. As I finish each issue, I'm eager to see what will
happen next. But one element is somewhat lacking in these stories
and it's an element that's always been a key part of the foundation
of Archie and his universe.
Humor. While the soap opera and mystery are driving these series,
there should be room for some laughs. Humor is part of life, even
at the most trying of times and, knowing how well Kupperberg writes
comedy, I'd like to see life's humor reflected in Life With Archie.
Gay rights. I love that Kevin's family, friends, and, seemingly,
most of Riverdale believes in equal rights and follows through on
that belief. But, given the more serious tone of Life With Archie
and the divisiveness of this issue - some Republican candidates have
made bigotry against gays part of their campaign strategy - I think
it's unrealistic for there to be no evidence of the very real hate
that's out there.
The wedding scene. Kevin and Clay didn't kiss. Archie Comics are
already far ahead of mainstream comics publishers in including gay
characters in their stories. However, since there's no shortage of
lips-on-lips action in their boy-girl couples, the gay characters
need to be able to express their affection just as openly as those
other characters.
I am in awe of the courage shown by Archie Comics. It's not easy
for such an American institution to stand so forcefully against the
shrill voices of bigotry and hate. But, and I say this with every
bit of conviction in my brain, heart, and soul, their young readers
are not those bigots and haters. I know this from my own children
and their friends. They accept and approve of the inevitable day
when gays enjoy the same rights as straights without consequence or
question. The bigots and haters will be consigned to the dustbin
of history...which is where they belong.
Thanks for spending a part of your day with me. I'll be back
tomorrow with more stuff.
Maryland Bear January 8, 2012 at 6:39 AM
This reminds me of something I heard on NPR's "Wait Wait Don't Tell Me", originally referring to Iowa legalizing same sex marriage.
Imagine that, in 1988, a wild-eyed man raced up to you, and declared, "I have seen the future, and in 2012, Archie Comics will feature a same-sex inter-racial military wedding!"
You might well have responded, "shyeah, right, just as soon as we elect a black guy President."
I picked up the first 4 issues of this series and really enjoyed the alternate universe concept. I must agree with you on the lack of humor in this new series which I truly did enjoy when reading Archie comics during the sixties and seventies. After reading your column today though, I have decided to go back and give the series another try...perhaps someone will read your column at Archie comics and make the needed corrections humor wise.

Wandering China is pleased to release the sixth of the China8 series of interviews. China8 is where China's perceived and presenting selves are discussed. This it hopes to achieve by looking closely at both China's international and domestic coherence of its harmonious ascent. Ultimately, Wandering China hopes these perspectives will be helpful for anyone making sense of depending on how you see it, the fourth rise of the middle kingdom, or sixty odd years of consciousness of a new nation-state with a coherent identity emergent from a long drawn period of ideological strife.

Towards a great spring forward in this year of the snake. Happy new year everyone!
At 4,680m above sea level, this is the highest point I have drummed. The mountain mastif is the southernmost glacier in the northern hemisphere. Djembe's tuning had rather massively gone out of whack due to the temperature changes as I ascended. It's not hard to see the sheer number of tourists at this AAAAA-rated destination. 99% domestic tourists as far as I could make out.
To top it off, my fingers were stiff as, they could have done with far more warming-up before having a bash.
Greetings! Good weekend all, this round of exploring China is complete. Here's a short clip of WanderingChina having a short bash on a locally bought Djembe a Black Dragon Pool facing the classic picture postcard Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, the southernmost glacial mountain mastif.
Chengdu 天府之国, capital of Sichuan province has been on the agenda for the longest time. It has retained its original city name since its founding more than two millennia ago in 311BC, the same cannot be said of many other Chinese cities. A fan of the Three Kingdoms narrative – it was great being able to investigate the historicity of such seminal characters in the Chinese psyche – such as Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang. Of course, being in this part of China during Sino-Japanese tension was also most interesting. Today it is one of China's most liveable cities, famous for its giant pandas and is home to more than 14 million. Often tremendously foggy, there are only a few times a year locals actually get to fully embrace the sun. An inland city with increasing economic importance to China's spread of growth to its interior and periphery, it is now becoming a first choice stop if one wishes to succeed in China's west.
#1 Tianfu Square: At the square facing the Sichuan Science and Technology Museum with Mao statue. A dynamic gathering place, it is a must visit if one ever visits Chengdu.
#2 The square itself sees a sunken metro hub with subterranean shopping options. Once the site of the imperial palace torn down during the cultural revolution. For a city with so much history, it is thought provoking how little of the legacies of past – often so richly embedded in Chinese texts are physically left.
#4 The other side of China's rise. Coca Cola versus wandering spirit.
#5 Opulent, symbolic and contentious. According to a local contact, this complex, now called the Tianfu International Financial Centre seriously irked Wen Jiabao during his visit to Chengdu after the devastating Sichuan earthquakes of 2008. The timing could not have been worse. Chengdu municipal officials moving into luxurious new city government offices at the 1.2b Yuan complex with while others struggled to survive drew severe public criticism. During my visit, entry was not encouraged. Word was given that officials would sell the buildings and use the money for earthquake reconstruction, however one office block of the five 'Beijing bird's nest' lookalikes is still being used.
#6 Chengdu East Train Station – obviously built to handle large crowds – 68 hectares large in total with 14 platforms and 26 tracks.
#7 New Century Global Center. Touted to be the largest business platform in West China, it is also the world's largest single structure. Measuring 500m across and 400m wide with 1.7 million square metres of floor space, the marine-themed center features a 500m long artificial beach inside with a 150m-long LED screen and an artificial sun for often foggy Chengdu – which is actually more than a thousand kilometres from any coast. Slated for turnkey business dealings there are hotels, offices, retail outlets, arts centres and concert venues inside. Claimed to be able to fit 20 Sydney Opera Houses, it was so large my peripheral vision could not capture it all at once, not lest the tablet computer's built-in camera.
#8 Not yet open for business, I was able to get a glimpse of this scale model by visiting the retail and office space sales centre.
#9 Steaming ahead to the age of convenience? Pre-packed herbal soup for the time-strapped.
#10 The staggering price of imported infant milk formulas was raised as a concern by a few local friends at the parenting phase of their lives.
Done with Dali, it was a six-hour long sleeper bus journey from Dali's Changshan Erhai back to Kunming. Due to the nature of the region's terrain, the train ride would have taken far longer. I whined to myself as the bus did not offer the most comfortable of rides, but it all changed as it meant it afforded me plenty of time to chat with a Hani-minority woman seated next to me.
Dali is an ancient capital where its old city walls still stand. Not UNESCO protected like Lijiang, it was the seat of power for the Bai kingdom Nanzhao which thrived during the eight and ninth centuries. Later, the Kingdom of Dali regined from 937-1253AD. Dali was formerly a significantly Muslim part of South China.
#1 To get to Dali from Lijiang, this was the recommended approach. Winding through mountain passes and snaking over gorges, the journey looking out of the train window was picturesque as infrastructure-crazy Yunnan impressed yet again. The tremendous effort to connect through the extremely rugged hills and mountains of central Yunnan is awe-inspiring. No High-Speed Rail here yet, however. Expect to share cabin space socialist style if you choose the sleeper coach- everyone had to respectfully share a highly limited space. The alleyways are probably just 60cm wide.
#2 34RMB for the 2 hour journey. It was most interesting sharing the space and interacting with all manner of domestic traveler from the rural folk heading to meet extended family or for business, to intrepid young backpackers (who I understand love coming here for a great big hike of self-discovery – perhaps somewhat the Chinese equivalence of 'Into the Wild'). I thought it was great that second-chance tickets on board were always being offered by the inspectors before they began their official inspections. I found out this was a humane measure to help out the neediest. On board throughout the journey, there were peddlers selling all manner of wares from mobile chargers to laser lit yoyos, towels, drinks and the like in the 60cm wide alleyway.
#3 Chongsheng Temple and Three Pagodas 崇圣寺三塔. They date back to the time of the Nanzhao kingdom and Dali Kingdom – reminders that the Han stock was not always dominant.
#5 Han Chinese child with mum preppring her for a photo taken by local Bai minority photography. I was parked here for quite a while attempting to do a timelapse video of the pagodas (out of picture), and it was heartening that visitors who came were not only from the Han majority.
#6 The culture of Buddhist fish release exists to this very day in China.
#7 The other side of China's rise. Local womenfolk peddling fruits waiting outside the entrance and exits. Thing is, the fruits they sell aren't local. I hear their supply comes from the border – further south in Thailand and Vietnam. It is also here in Dali where it becomes increasingly apparent that China's stranglehold on its one-child policy of yesteryear is a myth, it hardly applied to rural folk, nor the minorities. The locals I spoke to around in their 50s mostly had two to three kids.
1. Love the country; do it no harm.
2. Serve the people; never betray them.
3. Follow science; discard ignorance.
4. Be diligent; not indolent.
5. Be united, help each other; make no gains at others' expense.
6. Be honest and trustworthy; do not sacrifice ethics forgain.
7. Be disciplined and law-abiding; not partake in chaos and lawless.
8. Live plainly, work hard; do not inudlge in luxuries and pleasures.
#10 Drug abuse used to be a huge problem this part of China due to its proximity to the borders of Myanmar for instance – a closer look this shop, located near Foreigners' Street 洋人街 will reveal some relics of paraphernalia.

Why decimated manufacturing communities need Joe Biden's Build Back Better campaign /
Why decimated manufacturing communities need Joe Biden's Build Back Better campaign
Phil Roeder https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.0/
Tom Conway
Independent Media Institute
Rich Cucarese and other members of United Steelworkers (USW) Local 4889 tend a vegetable garden, cook meals and operate a food pantry for their neighbors in Philadelphia's struggling Nicetown community.
Nicetown went into decline decades ago as corporations shut a string of factories, eliminating thousands of family-sustaining jobs that anchored the neighborhood. Blight festered, poverty soared, and government officials looked the other way.
Now, as much as Cucarese and his colleagues want to revitalize the community, there's just no way they can do it on their own.
Reversing decades of decline and neglect—in Nicetown and other decimated manufacturing communities across America—will require bold, sustained action like what Joe Biden proposed in his Build Back Better manufacturing blueprint.
The Democratic presidential candidate envisions major investments in manufacturing, technology, and research and development that will create millions of middle-class jobs and revitalize hard-hit communities across the country.
Just as important, he wants to equitably distribute these new opportunities while providing the educational access and labor protections essential to ensuring that all citizens have a shot at the American dream.
The COVID-19 pandemic, which cost millions of jobs and exposed America's struggle to produce critical goods like face masks, clearly demonstrated what residents of Nicetown have known for decades: Band-Aids and half measures aren't enough. The nation needs sweeping, coordinated action to rebuild manufacturing capacity.
For all the damage they suffered, Nicetown and other beleaguered manufacturing communities still have potential.
Biden's plan would unleash it.
"There are definitely people in the community who are trying everything they can to make the area viable," said Cucarese, Local 4889's Rapid Response coordinator and an assistant operator on the galvanizing line at U.S. Steel's plant in Fairless Hills, about 25 miles from Nicetown. "There's despair, but there's also hope."
Over the past quarter-century, America lost millions of manufacturing jobs, many because failed trade policies incentivized corporations to shift operations to countries with low wages and lax environmental regulations.
But employers also eliminated jobs because of bankruptcies, mergers and other reasons. The loss of family-sustaining wages gutted the middle class and sent manufacturing neighborhoods into a nosedive.
After Locals 404 of Philadelphia and 4889 of Fairless Hills consolidated in a Nicetown union hall about 18 months ago, Cucarese and a few of his colleagues explored the neighborhood.
They encountered the hulking remains of old factories but also good-hearted residents battling unemployment, troubled schools, hunger and unusually high rates of chronic health problems like asthma.
Nicetown's struggles quickly galvanized the USW members into action. Cucarese told residents, "We're here, and we're not just here, but we're here to help."
He and his colleagues planted a community garden so they could provide fresh vegetables to residents who have difficulty affording nutritious meals. They not only held food drives for their neighbors but opened a food pantry in the union hall. They also rented office space to the Poor People's Army, an anti-poverty group.
While these efforts have made a huge difference, only a sustained, coordinated investment campaign will provide the sweeping change needed to revive Nicetown and other depressed manufacturing communities.
That's where a plan like Build Back Better can make the crucial difference.
It will not only make huge investments to stimulate the creation of manufacturing jobs but ensure that communities across the nation—especially long-neglected places—get a fair share of those jobs and the prosperity they provide.
Under Build Back Better, the nation would invest $300 billion in research, development and new technologies to fuel a reinvigorated manufacturing economy while spending another $400 billion on American-made goods.
Biden pledged to spend some of that money on the steel, aluminum and other materials needed to repair roads, bridges and other crumbling infrastructure. The funds also could be used to ramp up manufacturing capacity in pharmaceuticals, medical equipment and other critical industries so the nation never again experiences shortages of face masks and other important items like it did during the pandemic.
But new jobs themselves aren't enough to rebuild the middle class and restore prosperity to struggling communities. Americans also need stronger labor protections to ensure they receive decent pay, good benefits and safe working conditions in return for their labor.
That's why enacting the Protecting the Right to Organize (PRO) Act, which passed the House in February but languishes in the Republican-controlled Senate, is a key component of Biden's manufacturing strategy.
The PRO Act would make it easier for workers to form unions and impose stiff penalties on employers who illegally interfere in organizing campaigns.
Just as the demise of American manufacturing sent communities into a tailspin, empowered workers in new middle-class jobs have the potential to turn neighborhoods around.
That's the essence of Biden's approach.
As incomes rise, fewer residents will rely on a safety net now stretched to the breaking point.
But residents crave a voice as much as they need investment.
Cucarese found that the key to building rapport with his neighbors was to listen to their concerns and make them partners in plans for food drives and other community service projects.
To realize his goal of revitalizing manufacturing communities, Biden likewise will have to collaborate closely with residents already laboring hard to make a difference.
These "ground forces," as Cucarese calls them, know their neighbors' needs better than anyone, and have more than earned a prominent part in their communities' rebirth.
Empowering these residents will unleash the transformative potential envisioned in Build Back Better—and show that Biden's plan isn't merely a promise but his bond with struggling communities.
"If you show people that you're being genuine," Cucarese said, "they'll jump in with both feet."
Tom Conway is the international president of the United Steelworkers Union (USW).

First Look At 'Puss In Boots' Movie
by Peter "Paparazzi" Fielder
While the Shrek series of movies may be done, that doesn't mean we were never going to see characters from the popular series again and now we have a first look at Puss in Boots, a spinoff from last years blockbuster Shrek Ever After movie.
MSN grabbed a first look at the movie which features the feline voiced by Antonio Banderas. In true Puss In Boots fashion he can be seen wowing the ladies with his swordplay, riding a horse standing up and using stunning moves to show off his prowess.
Unfortunately this first look trailer doesn't really tell us a whole bunch about the storyline for the upcoming movie. What we do know is that Humpty Dumpty (voiced by Zach Galifianakis) teams up with Puss In Boots to steal the goose that lays the golden eggs.
Also featured in the movie is Salma Hayek who voices Kitty Softpaws.
Here's the first look trailer:
Puss In Boots hits theaters later this year.

Diane Lane Accepts Role In New Superman Movie
Diane Lane has accepted the role of Clark Kent's adoptive mother Martha Kent in the upcoming reboot of the Superman franchise. Lane, portraying the role in the Zack Synder director movie replaces Eva Marie Saint who appeared as the same character in the 2006 movie Superman Returns.
The new movie, titled Superman: Man of Steel will play the mother to Henry Cavill, 27, was was cast last month as the man of steel.
According to Synder:
"This was a very important piece of casting for me because Martha Kent is the woman whose values helped shape the man we know as Superman. We are thrilled to have Diane in the role because she can convey the wisdom and the wonder of a woman whose son has powers beyond her imagination."

Max Joseph (2. Januar 1860 in Gerdauen – 17. Dezember 1932 in Berlin) war ein deutscher Dermatologe. Er wurde besonders bekannt durch sein über viele Auflagen von 1892 bis 1923 erschienenes Lehrbuch der Haut- und Geschlechtskrankheiten.

Leben und Wirken

Max Joseph besuchte das Altstädtische Gymnasium in Königsberg und schloss sein Studium der Medizin an der dortigen Universität mit seiner Dissertation Zeitmessende Versuche über Athmungs-Reflexe ab. Danach war er Assistenzarzt bei Moriz Kaposi in Wien. Nach 1886 lebte er in Berlin, wo er ab 1887 eine dermatologische Privatklinik betrieb. 1890 begann er mit Kursen zur Dermatologie und über Geschlechtskrankheiten für Fachkollegen, die in diesem Kreis hohes Ansehen genossen.

1892 erschien die erste Auflage seines Lehrbuches der Hautkrankheiten für Aerzte und Studierende, 1894 die erste Auflage seines Lehrbuches der Geschlechtskrankheiten für Aerzte und Studierende. Beide erlangten eine ähnlich große Verbreitung wie die Lehrbücher von Moriz Kaposi bzw. Edmund Lesser. Ab der 2. Auflage erschienen beide Lehrbücher als Lehrbuch der Haut- und Geschlechtskrankheiten (Band 1 Hautkrankheiten, Band 2 Geschlechtskrankheiten). Ab 1915 erschienen beide wieder separat als Lehrbuch der Hautkrankheiten für Ärzte und Studierende (8. Aufl. 1915) bzw. Lehrbuch der Geschlechtskrankheiten für Ärzte und Studierende (7. Aufl. 1915).

Bekannter wurden auch seine histologischen Arbeiten, besonders sein Dermato-histologischer Atlas (englische Ausgabe unter dem Titel Atlas of cutaneous morbid histology), sowie seine Beiträge zur Kosmetik in Form eines frühen Kurzen Repetitoriums der Kosmetik der Haut, der Haare, der Nägel u. des Mundes für Aerzte und Studierende, das auch in mehreren Auflagen auf Englisch erschien und das 1912 in ein größeres, von mehreren Wissenschaftlern getragenes, von Joseph herausgegebenem Handbuch der Kosmetik mündete.

Zwischen 1897 und 1920 gab er das Dermatologische Centralblatt heraus.

Who doesn't like a good scare sometimes? That familiar adrenaline rush after a terror survived explains the ever-present popularity of horror films and risk-taking. Combine this with the excitement of hitting a big win at the casino, and you've got the thrill of horror-themed online slots.
If you're a scary movie fan, then you'll love horror-themed online slots. Old favorites like Dracula, Frankenstein's Monster, and the ever-present ghosts come to life (or back to life) on reels in nearly every internet casino. It's like Halloween 365 days a year – and hopefully you'll be the one getting treats.
Are there slots with classic monsters?
Absolutely. All the old standards in creepy crawlies and spooky ghouls may be found in the online casino: Leading the pack are the so-trendy vampires, often represented in a horror slot game by Dracula – that is, until the "Twilight" slot gets the green light.
Frankenstein's monster gets a fair share of play, too, including one game based directly on the 1931 Boris Karloff movie.
The original vampire, Count Dracula, naturally gets his spins in at the online casino. Check out Dracula's Family for just one example. Zombie Rich stars those lovable and unstoppable living dead dudes; The zombies is a humoursous take on the concept combined with sitcom stylings. (Yes, shenanigans ensue.) And Zombiezee Money overcomes the brutal pun to deliver some fantastic gameplay.
Brendan Fraser's flick The Mummy has been adapted for the slots medium with a game of the same name. This one features the Lost City Adventure Bonus, actually an exciting eight bonuses in one slot game. This slot may prove to be as endlessly fascinating as a bunch of Egyptian catacombs.
What are some other good horror slots?
If you've jumped on the bandwagon with the whole vampire rage, try Bood Suckers, which is crammed with bloodthirsty vampires; this slot's a Net Entertainment game with a jackpot payout of 7500 coins. Hammer stakes into the hearts of vampires while they lay unaware, asleep in their coffins in a gory vampire bonus round. Bloody good!
A popular original series in slots are Rival's Scary Rich games. Scary Rich 2, a slot sequel to Scary Rich, claims, "More Scares More Riches" with wild coffins and scatter werewolves. The music, animation, and gaming experience are excellent, with evil clowns chomping on the reels and scratches from butcher knives running down the reels.
Ghosts and the haunted houses they inhabit are a popular favorite among online casino game designers, too, and the occasional werewolf-themed slot may howl for your attention. But don't worry: These casino games don't bite.
How can I play horror-themed slots?
The thrill of horror movies plus the fun of internet gaming? It must be a horror-themed online slot game, now available for the playing at your favorite online casino. You can enjoy free play indefinitely right here at Live Casino Direct, or simply register at one our recommended online casinos to start winning today!
Soak in a little blood and gore while you sell your soul with horror-themed slots, the perfect genre where winning is more of a thrill than ever.
Diablo 13 and Devil's Delight slots highlight that hellish world of satan.

, originalmente conhecido como , é um mangá japonês criado em 1960 por Shigeru Mizuki. É mais conhecido por sua popularização das criaturas folclóricas conhecidas como yōkai, uma classe de monstro-espírito à qual todos os personagens principais pertencem. Esta história foi um conto popular japonês do início do século XX, realizado em kamishibai. Foi adaptado para vídeo várias vezes, como anime, live-action e jogos eletrônicos. A palavra "Ge Ge Ge" (ゲゲゲ) no título representa o som de cacarejo no idioma japonês.

Enredo
GeGeGe no Kitarō se concentra no jovem Kitarō — o último sobrevivente da Tribo Fantasma — e em suas aventuras com outros ghouls e estranhas criaturas da mitologia japonesa. Junto com: os restos mortais de seu pai, Medama-Oyaji (um membro da Tribo Fantasma mumificado que reencarnou para habitar seu antigo globo ocular); Nezumi-Otoko (o homem-rato); Neko-Musume (a gata) e uma série de outras criaturas folclóricas, Kitarō se esforça para unir os mundos dos humanos e Yōkai.

Muitas histórias envolvem Kitarō enfrentando uma miríade de monstros de outros países, como o vampiro chinês Yasha, o Transylvanian Dracula IV e outras criações não japonesas. Além disso, Kitarō também encara vários Yōkai malévolos, que ameaçam o equilíbrio entre as criaturas japonesas e os humanos.

Algumas histórias fazem referência explícita aos contos japoneses tradicionais, principalmente o conto popular de Momotarō, no qual o jovem herói defende um território japonês dos demônios com a ajuda dos animais nativos. A série de Kitarō A Grande Guerra Yōkai (em japonês: 妖怪 大 戦 争, hepburn Yōkai Daisensō) atrai muita influência dessa história, com Kitarō e seus amigos Yōkai afastando um grupo de ghouls ocidentais de uma ilha.

Enquanto o personagem de Kitarō em GeGeGe no Kitarō é um garoto amigável que realmente quer o melhor resultado para os seres humanos e Yōkai, Hakaba Kitarō o retrata como um personagem muito mais sombrio e travesso. Sua aparente falta de empatia pelos seres humanos combinada com sua ganância geral e desejo de riqueza material o leva a agir de maneira inadequada em relação aos personagens humanos — muitas vezes levando-os enganosamente a situações de pesadelo ou até ao próprio inferno.

Mídia

Kamishibai
A história do Kitarō começou como um kamishibai em 1933, escrita por Masami Itō (伊藤 正 美) e ilustrada por Keiyō Tatsumi (辰 巳 恵). A versão de Itō foi chamada  e geralmente é escrito em katakana para distingui-lo da versão de Mizuki do conto. Diz-se que é uma reinterpretação leve do conto popular japonês chamado Kosodate Yūrei (子育て幽霊) ou Ame-Kai Yūrei (飴買い幽霊). Em 1954, Mizuki foi convidado a continuar a série por seu editor Katsumaru Suzuki.

Mangá
Hakaba Kitarō foi publicado em 1960, mas era considerado assustador demais para as crianças. Em 1965, renomeado para Hakaba no Kitarō, apareceu na Shōnen Magazine e passou por 1970. A série foi renomeada para GeGeGe no Kitarō em 1967 e continuou no Weekly Shōnen Sunday (1971), Shōnen Action, Shukan Jitsuwa e muitas outras revistas.

Em 2002, GeGeGe no Kitarō foi traduzido por Ralph F. McCarthy e compilado por Natsuhiko Kyogoku para Kodansha Bilingual Comics. Três volumes bilíngues (japonês-inglês) foram lançados em 2002.

Desde 2013, os volumes de compilação de capítulos selecionados de mangás da década de 1960 foram lançados pela Drawn and Quarterly, com traduções para o inglês de Zack Davisson e uma introdução de Matt Alt no primeiro volume de compilação.

Anime
Sete adaptações de anime foram feitas a partir da série de mangás GeGeGe no Kitarō original. Eles foram transmitidos na Fuji Television e animados pela Toei Animation. O tema de abertura de todas as seis séries é "Gegege no Kitarō", escrito pelo próprio Mizuki. Foi cantado por Kazuo Kumakura (1.º, 2.º), Ikuzo Yoshi (3.º), Yūkadan (4.º), Shigeru Izumiya (5.º), The 50 Kaitenz (5.º) e Kiyoshi Hikawa (6.º). A música também foi usada nos filmes de live-action estrelados por Eiji Wentz. No primeiro filme, foi realizado pelo parceiro de Wentz' WaT, Teppei Koike. Em janeiro de 2008, a sexta série de anime (também produzida pela Toei) estreou na Fuji TV durante a madrugada no bloco Noitamina. Este anime usa o título original do mangá (Hakaba no Kitaro) e, ao contrário das versões usuais do anime, ele está mais próximo do mangá original e não faz parte do cânone de remake existente. Também apresenta uma abertura completamente diferente ("Mononoke Dance" de Denki Groove) e uma música-tema final ("Snow Tears" de Shoko Nakagawa). Uma sétima série, dirigida por Kouji Ogawa e escrita por Hiroshi Ohnogi, começou a ser exibida na Fuji TV em 1 de abril de 2018 para comemorar o 50.º aniversário do anime. A série foi concluída em 29 de março de 2020 quando entrou em seu arco final intitulado "Arco Nurarihyon" em 6 de outubro de 2019. Foi transmitido no Crunchyroll, marcando o primeiro anime Kitarō a estar disponível na América do Norte.

Uma versão em inglês foi ao ar como Spooky Kitaro no Animax Asia. O anime de 2008 foi lançado com legendas em inglês em DVD na Austrália.

Filmes de live-action
Nos últimos anos, a franquia lançou dois filmes de live-action. O primeiro deles foi lançado em 2007, simplesmente intitulado Kitaro em seu lançamento internacional (o filme manteve o título de ゲゲゲの鬼太郎 no Japão) e é baseado em histórias retratadas no mangá original de Kitarō. É estrelado por Eiji Wentz como Kitarō e Yo Oizumi como Nezumi Otoko. O filme segue Kitarō enquanto ele tenta salvar uma jovem garota do ensino médio, Mika Miura, enquanto tenta impedir que a poderosa "pedra fantasma" caia em mãos erradas. Enquanto a mídia anterior da franquia retratava seus personagens e histórias principalmente por meio de animação e ilustração desenhadas à mão, o filme de ação ao vivo faz uso extensivo de figurinos práticos e personagens de CG para retratar o colorido elenco de Yōkai. O segundo filme, Kitarō and the Millennium Curse, foi lançado em 2008 com Wentz retornando ao papel de Kitarō. Ele segue Kitarō e seus amigos enquanto tentam resolver uma maldição de mil anos que ameaça a vida de seu companheiro humano Kaede Hiramoto.

Networking is such an amazing tool for business people who are attempting to advance in their skilled endeavors. In the occasion of a draw, the winner will be decided by a series of inquiries about the individuals whose business cards are portion of the 6 drawn. You may possibly be tempted and it may possibly even be well-deserved, but never ever get involved in a gripe session about a colleague or client whilst attending a networking event or social/organization get-together. If I could just stop paying for things to make the business run smoothly I may possibly be in a position to see to the subsequent day. Bear in mind my earlier point about advertising recognition and repetition, attending a normal networking occasion achieves this. I've not too long ago attended a number of Business Networking Events South Yorkshire and I guess you could say they were casual and hybrid in terms of these defined networking groups.
There is, of course, networking for pure fun and socializing, such as the websites that connect individuals for dating opportunities. In this instruction session small companies will find out about certifications typically needed to do business with huge entities and find out effective matchmaking techniques. Although your tendency may possibly be to take a break from networking events during the holidays, it is crucial for you to continue attending events. It is a truth that as several shoppers invest money on holiday-connected purchases, they will also delay typical enterprise purchases or big ticket purchases until soon after the new year has begun. Getting portion of the business community will develop company connections that could last you your entire life, not to mention obtain you respect in your neighborhood and show other business owners that your are somebody who can be trusted.
When you consider that we are all just one individual away from a huge break or optimistic enterprise changing expertise, attending these events becomes much more relevant. A Speed Networking Event is comparable to speed dating in which you sit at numerous tables and meet a distinct organization person for a few minutes each and every ahead of switching to the subsequent. My point is just get began, the company you end up with might not be the enterprise you began with as you do business you find other requirements individuals have and can capitalize on that. When I am on a social networking website, namely, LinkedIn, I am not just searching for my present pals or colleagues.
Quantity two: Make sure prior to you attend any networking occasion that you know what your aims are and what you want to get out of the function. It is fundamentally about the act referring company to individuals that you have grown to know, like and trust, and for them to do the exact same for you. Participation in PowerMatch and continued commitment to developing strong company relationships with the networking partners you meet by way of PowerMatch is surely to yield accomplishment for your business and career! Make confident you have a way to capture your guest's information, like a sign in sheet or a container where they can place their enterprise cards. I'm learnin as I go…I do not have a clue…so we are starting this business broke and unemployed…Thank you for your assistance!!! I by no means thought about how to promote my business until, I jumped into this blog.
It is essential for you to use some kind of model to help you choose which business type of company to commence. Mums UnLtd supplies a service for Mums who are pondering of beginning a organization, already running a organization or taking a break from their business or employment. Networking is just yet another type of business development it is a marketing price face to face business promotion and marketing. The very good issue about social networking software program is that it's a message board, dating site, neighborhood enterprise finder and private profile method all in 1!

"All this is, is hot water with a leaf in it"
My brother and i went to Peru on vacation. Due to the altitude, they offered coca tea to help with altitude sickness. I enjoy tea and had no problem drinking it. My brother on the other hand, hates tea and refused to drink the "hot water with a dried leaf". He suffered from a head and general malaise. After a few days of this illness, he began to get very grouchy and agitated. I finally ended up using reverse psychology on him. The tea did not taste good, so i finally told him that it was, "so gross, I didn't think he could handle it". Challenge accepted, tea drank, end of altitude sickness.

Ep. 186 - Raz Razgaitis, FloWater CEO on Disrupting the Water Business
Raz Razgaitis, co-founder and CEO of FloWater, talks with Brian Ardinger, Inside Outside Innovation Founder, about the disruption that's happening in the water business, what it's like to be working in a big company and move to a startup, and everything in between.
Interview Transcript (To read the entire interview transcript, go to http://insideoutside.io)
Brian Ardinger: On this week's episode of Inside Outside Innovation, we interviewed Raz Razgaitis. He is the co-founder and CEO of FloWater. We talk about the disruption that's happening in the water business, what it's like to be working in a big company, and move from there to a startup, and everything in between. Let's get started.
Inside Outside Innovation is the podcast that brings you the best and the brightest in the world of startups and innovation. I'm your host, Brian Ardinger, founder of InsideOutside.IO, a provider of research events and consulting services that help innovators and entrepreneurs build better products, launch new ideas, and compete in a world of change and disruption. Each week we'll give you a front row seat to the latest thinking tools, tactics, and trends, in collaborative innovation. Let's get started.
Welcome to another episode of Inside Outside Innovation. I'm your host, Brian Ardinger, and as always, we have another amazing guest today with me is Raz Razgaitis. He is the co founder and CEO of FloWater. Raz, welcome to the show.
Raz Razgaitis: Thanks Brian. Great to be here.
Brian Ardinger: I'm excited to have you on board because you're trying to disrupt this new world of water. So let's start there and talk a little bit about FloWater.
Raz Razgaitis: Well, Brian, our whole mantra is really around changing the way the world drinks water. The foundation of our company is to provide decentralized distributed water purification wherever consumers work, rest and play. So that they can have what we believe is the world's best tasting water, on tap, wherever they are. And the purpose behind that is to completely eradicate, not only single use plastic water bottles, which are the new environmental cigarette, but also to provide a pathway to eliminate all packaged water. Because not only does it end up in oceans, lakes, rivers, and landfills. For example, right now, Americans are drinking the equivalent of two credit cards worth of plastics. Microplastics. Wow.
Every month as a result of their tap and bottled water. It's not just bottled water, but they're actually drinking their bottled water that's in now microplastics in their tap water. Exactly. We're literally now drinking our plastics, and the whole idea of our company is to completely eradicate that. And what we're doing is we've built a piece of technology and a piece of hardware that right now, it's primarily available to businesses and companies and organizations. And so that's generally hotels, schools, corporations, gyms, retailers, where we provide a FloWater refill station that has a very powerful purification system in it, that takes any tap water effectively anywhere in the world and turns it into something that will be better tasting than your favorite bottled water brand. But it's available in a refillable format so that you are reusing either a multiuse bottle or a refillable bottle, or even a single use bottle that you're refilling. So if you end up having to buy a single use plastic water bottle, but you get to refill that five times, we've just seen an 80% reduction in the usage of single use packaging, which is a great thing.
