Magika No Kenshi To Shoukan Maou:Volume 14 Epilogue 1C
Otonashi Kaguya's Family Planning[edit]
「I think that recently Otouto-kun is only resting on the laurels of your sex technique-!」
After finishing dazzling Kaguya-senpai with carnality to the extreme many times over that she half-fainted, Kazuki was watching in fascination the face of that Kaguya-senpai who was currently using his arm as a pillow while her face was still faintly blushing from the lingering aftertaste of their deed. But suddenly Kaguya-senpai came back to life and she sat up in a flash and said that.
「Se, senpai……?」
Kazuki was watching Kaguya-senpai who was being indignant while both her hands were hitting the blanket covering them with *pofun pofun* sound.
「Recently I'm feeling haughtiness from thee, thou art entranced with thine own technique of the darkness!」
「O, old master?」
「Onee-san once more insists about the importance of things like romantic mood or creating a special atmosphere with a bit more effort-」
After saying that with a loud voice, Kaguya-senpai further spoke mumblingly with a small voice.
「……Well, right now it feels good and I'm terribly satisfied but, it's embarrassing how I feel too good that I get too out of control. Right now there is no more influence from Asmodeus so I cannot use that as an excuse anymore……even though I'm the older one it feels like I'm the one that got led around. I'm feeling complicated……I cannot clear away this indignation gowasu!!」
That Kaguya-senpai was attaching a strange word at the end of her sentence in jest was surely because she was really embarrassed.
Kaguya-senpai covered her face with both her hands saying 「Geeeez-!」 while writhing.
Nevertheless she properly spoke out her feeling so Kazuki was thankful for that.
「Certainly, I might be careless in that kind of aspect……」
What Kaguya-senpai was saying was half for hiding her shame, but doing something like a date and then flirting with each other……only doing just those would cause them to get stuck in a rut sooner or later.
The days in the past that were filled with many upheavals was stimulating on the whole, to the extent that it also felt special that they could just be together in this peaceful time.
If they spent this peaceful daily life with the same feelings as that time, then it was only natural to get stuck in a rut.
Previously Mio explained to him that as a boyfriend it was really important to be romantic, but it was exactly this current time that such factor was even more important than before.
「But it's difficult to discover the chance for something romantic when it is a too peaceful daily life……」
「……For example on anniversary day or something, we will find something special or something」
Kaguya-senpai created gap between the fingers covering her face and glanced at Kazuki.
Kazuki suddenly came to a realization.
「Kaguya's birthday? Come to think of it I feel like it will be soon. Feels like it's in Winter. But I don't pay attention to birthdays and the like so I don't know. Should I try asking the other girl in the class?」
Hikaru-senpai smiled cheerfully when she heard Kazuki's question and she started playing with her mobile phone.
It was the next morning. Kaguya-senpai who was weak in the morning was still sleeping, but everyone else was all present in the living room.
Hikaru-senpai laughed 「Ahahah」 with her phone in one hand.
「It's next week they say.」
「Next week huuh. I see, as I thought.」
Kazuki understood. Kaguya-senpai's attitude last night was more of an appeal rather than dissatisfaction.
Mio who was listening from the side was sending him a reproachful gaze.
「That's, for a couple it's only natural to celebrate birthdays. When is the date of the birthday is something that should be asked casually beforehand while going out together.」
「Mio's birthday is……in Spring, if I remember it correctly, isn't it?」
「Kazu-nii only guessed it from my name right!? You absolutely don't remember it right!? Geeez!」 (TN: The kanji of Mio's name is made up from the kanji of beauty and sakura)
「For a couple, birthdays are something special isn't it……」
Kazuki received a shock from the fact of his blind spot and he held his head in his wits' end.
As a swordsman, Kazuki passed through his youth with stoicness that didn't hold interest in other things. His contact with girls was only a recent matter that drastically increased in these few months.
In the first place, Kazuki was a person that was really considerate to other people. He also obtained the ability to sense the fluctuation of positivity level, and he unexpectedly didn't do anything that was lacking in delicacy.
But his thinking didn't reach until the importance of birthdays at all.
In the first place Kazuki didn't know about his own birthday. His birthday was always celebrated along with Kanae's birthday. In Kazuki's life, 『birthday』 was a concept with endlessly low importance.
But, a girl was a living thing that wanted to have their birthdays celebrated grandly by their boyfriend.
Or rather, this kind of anniversary day was the ideal event to discover something special between the ordinary days. There was no option to not make use of this. It was like an alchemy that produced a romantic element.
「The scale has fallen from my eyes……」
「It's not something to feel that moved for. Geez, this is because Kazu-nii is ignorant to the ways of the world in strange places.」
「By the way Hikaru-senpai's birthday is……?」
Kazuki timidly asked. Hikaru-senpai answered with her wide smile unchanging.
「Me? It already passed a long time ago you know? It was on May 5th, Children's Day.」
There was no other girl who suited Children's Day more than this person.
Kazuki joined both his hands in supplication and apologized 「I'm sorry for ignoring it completely」.
「At that time we still weren't that close. It's not something to be concerned about you know?」
Thinking back about that day, it was around the time he went together with Mio on a quest and encountered Beatrix. Certainly at that time they weren't so close that he would ask her when her birthday was and celebrated it together.
Hikaru-senpai raised her voice 「Aah」 and she clapped her hands.
「Looking back I got an expensive looking cookie from Kaguya on my birthday. I would have completely forget about it around this time if Kazuki didn't ask about it.」
Mio turned an exasperated gaze at her.
「As a girl senpai should remember that kind of thing properly you know? A really deep grudge can arise even from friendship between fellow woman.」
「Because─, at that time I was still jeered 『prince』『prince』 by the surroundings and got a lot of presents. I couldn't think about returning gifts or anything with that number.」
「Now that you mention it Hikaru-senpai was a prince huh. ……I completely forgot.」
Without doubt she was just a crazy high-tensioned girl who called herself using "boku".
「Right now senpai isn't treated like that anymore by the people around you?」
「Because the surroundings already recognize me as belonging to Kazuki.」
「By any chance, am I secretly resented by the girls who were Hikaru-senpai's fans……」
「Ahaha, there is no one who chased after me until that seriously. I'm also feeling refreshed with this situation.」
Hikaru-senpai laughed with a refreshed expression.
「And the birthdays of Koyuki and Lotte and Kamimura-san is……?」
Kazuki also asked the three who were only watching without cutting in.
「Of course I was born in winter. At the end of February……it's just a little bit ahead.」
Kazuki sighed in relief hearing Koyuki's answer.
「My birthday is in November, but I myself aren't that conscious of my birthday. Because there was no such custom in Seinmundo that was a religious country. But certainly there are a lot of scenes of birthday celebrations in manga and anime. Please remember it this year desu!」
Kazuki undertook Lotte's words with 「Leave it to me」, then next he turned his gaze to Kamimura-san.
「My birthday is on April 1st……I am truly the late born among the late born (TN: April 1 is the school entrance date in Japan, so I guess if a baby is born on that day, when he entered school he will be a year older than the surrounding). If only there was no handicap from this birthday, there is no doubt that I won't become something like a shut-in otaku!!」
In practice whether one was born early (TN: between January 1 until April 1) or born late, they would be gathered together with other kids who were born in the time frame of ten months ahead at the latest, so the 『handicap』 that Kamimura-san mentioned wasn't really applicable to be the shut-in girl's excuse. In any case,
「Kamimura-san's birthday is also still ahead huh……thank god.」
Kazuki patted his chest in relief while stroking Kamimura-san's head.
He was safe with the members in this place. But he wondered just how many birthdays of girls that supposedly had to be celebrated no matter what and yet he ignored it completely within these several months.
Seeing Kazuki's grave face, Hikaru-senpai burst into laughter 「Pupuh, kukuh」.
「My bad for laughing, but it's really hard for Kazuki isn't it? With this many lovers, surely every month there will be someone's birthday!」
「My notepad will be packed full like this. ……But it's looking fun that there will be a lot of events every year. I see, so anniversary days are something like this.」
「Kazu-nii, you are smiling optimistically but, are you properly thinking about the birthday present?」
Mio brandished words that were like blades of ice.
Kazuki instantly froze, and then he wilted down on the spot crestfallenly.
「……So far, Turtle Oota-san brought me an offer for co-authorship of an autobiography so that might be a revenue source too……」
「That's relying on money that you still don't really know whether it will come to realization or not. ……Hm? But, if it's an autobiography, it will be Kazuki's autobiography from when he enrolled into the Magic Department, then became King until the battle in Atlantis? That's, won't it be able to normally aim to become best seller?」
Kazuki's activity as King was reported to the public by the government PR even while Kazuki's own name was hidden from the report. But that was a public archive to inform the people about his public business as King. Furthermore the reports' content wasn't formal at all with excessive heroic telling in order to earn the support from the public though…….
However, the time before Kazuki became King was mostly untouched.
The fight since Kazuki enrolled into the Magic Department until he was recognized by the Knight Academy, the war between Japan and Yamato that divided the country into east and west, the battle of Fuji's sea of trees around the three Sacred Treasures, the voyage to America, and then the last decisive battle on Atlantis……if all this chain of events were collected into one, it would become an entertainment work to the degree that it would sound like non-fiction that was full of lies.
There wasn't even any need to imagine that the content would become the greatest matter of concern and interest for the public.
「Oota-san has also already thought about the title. 『Magika no Kenshi to Shoukan Maou』 he said. The Shoukan Maou(Summoning Devil King) will be written as Basilleus in romaji.」
Lotte's eyes shined.
「The katakana's ruby character above the kanji desu! So the katakana's ruby character is different from the kanji! So cool! That can be turned into an anime desu!」
「That can sell……that can really sell! Kazu-nii, you should focus properly regarding the royalty beforehand! Even if the Turtle will be the one to write it, you've to insist for 5% at minimum!!」
Money that shouldn't be relied on……Mio retracted those words of hers and she leaned forward eagerly.
「Royalty……the dream life from royalty!? The almost perfect unearned income just from lending your name!?」
Kamimura-san's eyes were also shining from her thinking moving to a different direction.
「Ahaha! You've got to warn him so that it won't become an erotic novel!」
Hikaru-senpai spoke while laughing. It was arranged so that his real name wouldn't come out, however now that she said it, it would still be really embarrassing even then.
「Putting that aside, what will you do about Kaguya-senpai's birthday? The day is going to be a weekday, so it will be a date after school……something like that?」
Mio corrected the course of the conversation that was going off the rail.
Kazuki crossed his arms and groaned.
「No……rather than that……」
The thing that Kaguya-senpai was desiring the most, he wondered what it was.
Of course she must also be wishing to spend a romantic time with just the two of them. However he couldn't say with confidence that that would really be the thing she desired the most.
He wondered whether her birthday was hiding a trauma that should be wiped out first.
──Kazuki tried conveying the thought his mind had reached to Hikaru-senpai.
「……Hm, I guess. I think that Kaguya will surely like that.」
Hikaru-senpai made a smile that looked like it came from her heart and nodded to him.
「I think that's the best for Kaguya.」
After that Kazuki turned his gaze to Mio.
「Mio! Let me consult with you about the present!」
「As expected, there is only me for that kind of consultation!」
Otouto-kun, who suddenly got hit with an idea when he heard about anniversary days, most likely would ask about her birthday from Hikaru, and then he would prepare a romantic birthday date for her……that was her calculation.
'Strange', Kaguya thought. The invitation for a date didn't come.
Everyone ate breakfast and then scattered to their respective classes, then classes were over, and it became after school……at this rate she would go back to the Witch's Mansion alone.
Like this it would end up as just a normal day. There was no unhappiness, but there was also nothing romantic. A normal day.
Well, something like an anniversary day was essentially just a normal day without anything special about it. What she did was nothing more than forcibly pushing some kind of excuse and made noise about a special day.
Even though Hikaru looked like that, but she was someone dry, so she looked like she wouldn't pay attention at all to something like a birthday. Even if Otouto-kun asked her,
「Kaguya's birthday? I dunno! Well, something like a birthday doesn't matter, don't you think? Everyday is eburidei (TN: Butchered English of everyday, also sound like birthday if you squint I guess)!」
She would say something like that, and Otouto-kun too would,
「There is truth in that, eburidei.」
「Eburideeei!!」
Perhaps it turned out like that. Otouto-kun's strange easiness to get into the mood was scary.
Kaguya's shoulders dropped in dejection.
Birthday──when she thought about it, for some reason her chest felt painfully throbbing. She wondered why.
……In the past, every year she had a birthday party held for her. Papa and mama were still kind, and it was also before Onii-chan died from an accident. That was the symbol of a family's warmth.
Nyarlathotep possessed papa, mama was also turned mad, and because of that the birthday party couldn't happen for a second time. Never again would she have her birth celebrated..
She was only ordered to 『aim for becoming the strongest magician』, and she obeyed it…….
However, right now in this world the title of strongest magician meant nothing.
The current her had no special meaning or anything. She was an extremely common girl who wasn't even good in physical exercise. Her grades were so-so. She also had no hobby or special skill. She jokingly said about becoming a politician, but she couldn't even find her dream of the future.
This throbbing chest──it might be her longing that wished to at least take back her warm family.
What she was looking for wasn't a romantic situation or anything.
She was hungry for something warm all this time. She wanted to become a warm human. She worked hard to erase the dispute between the sword department and the magic department, but instead she was thought of unsympathetically from her surroundings.
That was why she also felt something lacking from her 『relationship of male and female』 with Otouto-kun. That she still couldn't stop her attempt to act as an Onee-san was surely because of something like that.
She exited the school building and walked across the Knight Academy's courtyard, heading toward the Witch's Mansion. That the inside of the Academy after school was over feeling strangely quiet must be because there was no more students that trained. On the other hand there still wasn't any club activities arranged for them.
She wanted her existence to be celebrated.
In that case she would be able to have a fresh start even in this world where something like the strongest magician wasn't necessary.
She arrived back at the usual Witch's Mansion.
This normally empty her like this finished her normal day.
She put her hand on the door, and opened──.
「「「「「「HAPPY BIRTHDAY, KAGUYA!!」」」」」」
Together with the many voices, *pan pan pan pan!* light bursting sound resounded──thinking that it was attack magic, Kaguya's body instantly took a guard stance, but that wasn't it. The smell of black powder wafted in the air, and fluttering scraggly things were floating down on her head. She knew what that was──this was that thing called a party cracker.
Her many comrades were lining up at the corridor from the entrance until the living room, at the ceiling were chains of paper tape and balloons fully decorating the place.
Kaguya reflexively raised a stupid sounding voice.
Even though she was coaxing for an anniversary in that kind of shape on the bed, and yet beyond her imagination it resulted in a home party style. However, this was exactly the 『warmth』 that she was actually looking for. She was immediately made self-aware of that. Because she felt something warm was gathering at the corner of her eyes.
Otouto-kun walked out from between her friends and took the hand of Kaguya who was standing paralyzed.
He had seen through the matter that even she herself had only came to understood just now.
……That's right, he was always fighting by 『seeing through』. That was his style.
Her whole head became hot, not just the corners of her eyes. Cold tears was crossing through her heated cheeks.
「There is nothing to cry about here, isn't it?」
「Because……I'm so happy.」
Originally, for a person who wasn't family to understand about others until this far was just unthinkable.
In the living room, handmade cooking and snacks, and in addition a huge whole cake were lined up on the table. Kaguya opened wide her damp eyes.
「……Otouto-kun, you took a day off from school?」
「Wrong, these few days I prepared it bit by bit. I also had a reliable helper.」
「Helper?」
From among her friends, there was someone who rushed out saying 「Kaguya-chaaaan! It's me ze!」.
Mibu Akira──even though she aimed to open a cake shop since she was a child, because she obtained a Stigma she was forcefully enrolled into the Knight Academy and then became a peevish yankee.
Seeing Kaguya who persisted in becoming a model example of the Knight Academy, she felt embarrassed of herself who acted peevish because her dream was broken, and then she called Kaguya things like 『Hero of justice』 or 『someone respectable』.
Kaguya heard that right now she was boldly aiming to become a pastry chef and worked hard. For the current Kaguya, she was the one who was feeling respect towards Akira instead. It was noble how she was working hard for her dream even if it wasn't something grand like being a hero.
Kaguya was happy that someone like that made a cake for her together with Otouto-kun, that her sight became even more blurred.
「Kazuki! It's effective, it's effective! Keep press on!!」
Hikaru was saying a strange thing like a boxing trainer.
Otouto-kun presented to her a bouquet of flowers and a box that was wrapped prettily.
「It's a pair wristwatch. I think that it has good utility. I've never seen senpai wear a wristwatch, and I also don't have one so……」
「Ca, can I ophen it to look?」
She spoke with a nasally voice. Laughter suddenly arose from the surroundings.
「Yes, please try putting it on.」
She opened the wrapping paper carefully, and from inside a box with a famous looking brand came out. When she opened it with a feeling like opening a treasure box, an adult-like wristwatch with simple dials came out.
「I thought that it's like Kaguya-senpai.」
「……Fufuh, I'm, not as much an adult as Otouto-kun is thinking of me you know?」
She quickly put it around her left hand. Otouto-kun also slowly lifted his left hand and showed his watch to her. It was slightly modified to look manly with a design that suited him. The watch was shining on his wrist.
In the surroundings, the girls who similarly loved him like Kaguya raised their voices 「How nice─!」.
「……It's like a ring. I'm happy.」
「Someday, I'll absolutely buy a ring for you too.」
Saying that, Otouto-kun embraced her.
Eating delicious things, playing games with everyone, the trio of Kana-chan – Kohaku – Torazou-san was exhibiting funny gags……a fun time that wasn't commonplace by any means was passing like a dream.
And then when night came, she was taken to Otouto-kun's room, where he gently embraced her.
Even though she was the older one, she was one-sidedly pleasured……she didn't think of such thing.
She also didn't think that she was trying to get spoiled by his reliability as though she was chasing after the shadow of her big brother.
She entrusted her body to him to the degree that she had never done since she had lost the excuse that Asmodeus was making her aroused, where she was then thrown out of order.
He was reaching his hand to the condom. But Kaguya put that down decisively.
She wasn't pregnant from that night on Atlantis, and since magic power vanished from the world, he was always taking contraception into consideration.
「Kazuki-kun……」
However, Kaguya appealed to him that she wanted to accept him directly, and she spread open her body.
She thought that she surely wouldn't call him Otouto-kun anymore. That was why.
He also gave her a small nod. And then──.
A few days after her birthday, a notice came that her father who was in a vegetative state recovered his consciousness.
Kaguya took a day off from school and alone she visited the hospital room where her father was bedridden all this time.
He was emaciated because he was bedridden all this time, but all the life-support systems were taken off from him and he was able to sit down by his own strength. For Kaguya who had resolved herself that her father was near death, his appearance was unexpectedly firm. As though his bedridden state was only a dream.
On the other hand, for her father the change of the world must be like a dream for him.
Kaguya talked. About Nyarlathotep. About Kazuki-kun──how he became this country's King. About the battle against Mythologies on the flying continent. And then──about the complete change of the world.
「……That's something completely unbelievable but, certainly I cannot feel magic power at all, so what you are saying is true……. That boy he……」
Kaguya felt a question about how much her father remembered.
「……I did something bad, towards that boy.」
From that whisper, Kaguya understood that he also remembered the whole time he was controlled by Nyarlathotep.
「I'm planning on marrying him.」
Kaguya spoke with a nonchalant tone and firm resolve as though she was telling him an obvious matter that had been decided.
Her father looked up towards Kaguya, then he immediately looked down and his haggard shoulders wilted further.
「……I don't have any qualifications to say anything. I was unable to do anything fatherly for you. And that boy……he is someone who is able to make you who was in that situation, to be happy.」
「I want to give birth to many children. I'm planning to build a family where everyday will be like a birthday.」
Tears spilled out while she talked.
「That I can think like that, is because I remember that Tou-san in the past was kind, before you were taken over by Nyarlathotep. Thank you, Tou-san.」

Ogden Fold - L&Y in Yorkshire
Ogden Fold (4mm scale, P4 gauge)
An historical setting
The Manchester & Leeds Railway was built and opened in sections, so as to start getting an income on capital expended as soon as possible. The first section to be opened was the Manchester to Littleborough, Opened 3rd July 1839. The Normanton to Hebden Bridge section was opened 5th October 1840. In the gap between Littleborough and Hebden Bridge Stagecoaches were used until the Summit Tunnel was eventually opened on 1st March 1841.
On completion of the "Main Line" many schemes were visualised to put branch lines up the many valleys with growing industrial development. One such scheme being the Ryburn Valley which contained numerous Textile mills so plans were duly drawn up but no capital was allocated to this project. 18 years past then the proposal to develop a railway through the valley was re-opened in 1864 by the Lancashire & Yorkshire Railway (the M&LR being renamed L&YR in 1847). Fresh plans were drawn up and by an Act of 5th July 1865 authorisation was grantedto raise £140,000 capital and allowed 5 years for completion.
Acquisition of land progressed slowly and extension of time to 5th July 1872 was granted in 1868. In that year plans were prepared for extending the Ripponden branch to Rishworth as the first stage in the extension to Littleborough. The contractor's plan shows many track-work differences to that actually constructed. It had been planned to extend the line by tunnel to pass under Blackstone Edge and into Lancashire but it is reported that the construction of the line as built proved to be "a dangerous and expensive enterprise." The intention of extending the line was the reason for all the works to accommodate double track although the line was run as single track, except for the first few years. The line was fully opened to Rishworth for both goods and passengers on 5th August 1878.
On 28th October 1882 the Railway Times published details of a proposed new railway from Leeds to Liverpool by a route considerably shorter than the L&YR. Probably it was this scheme that stimulated further interest in the extension to Littleborough for a survey was made during the week ending 21st October. This survey showed that the line was to extend from Rishworth station up the valley south of Rishworth moor to a tunnel 4 miles long under Blackstone Edge, emerging near Hollingworth Lake which it skirted to rejoin the main line near Smithy Bridge a mile south of Littleborough, thereby reducing the distance from Sowerby Bridge by about 5 miles. This scheme was never carried out but the threat of its construction was sufficient to stop any further interest by competitors.
Creating the layout
Having looked at a 25″ O.S. map of the Milnrow/Ogden Moor area (1891 edition) we decided that had a line been built from Lancashire to connect at Sowerby Bridge in Yorkshire, it could, at less cost, have joined the Oldham Loop at a triangular junction giving two alternate routes into Manchester i.e. via Milnrow and back onto the main line at Rochdale or via New Hey and onto Manchester via Oldham.
We also considered that a station at the south end of the tunnel was desirable and we thought a suitable area for this station would be the hamlet of Ogden, which would have developed at a quick rate with the coming of the railway. Hence Ogden Fold was established.
Layout update
Ogden Fold is currently in semi-retirement while Club resources are focused on getting Eastwood finished. It's taking the layout equivalent of an extended holiday in the South of France – it will return at some point refreshed and full of vigor.
The current plan for Ogden is to change the period to 1950/1960, and to slightly change the track plan to double track with a second platform.
Model: Layout 18ft 6 in by 18 ft 0 in
Space required:(including operator space) 18 ft by 18 ft 6 in (plus access) - see floor/layout plan below
Power: 13A power supply to the controls and lights/display at a central position, plus a spur to the table for stock maintenance and repairs
One table and two chairs required for storage and maintenance
Barriers are required
Six operators
Transport: hire van plus two cars required
Insurance: the layout without stock is valued at £5,000. Stock will be listed on a separate sheet. An outline value for initial insurance planning is £20,000 for stock

1. It's a (supposedly) mythical creature with a jackrabbit's body and antelope horns.
2. It's extremely shy, but loosens up when approached. Especially with whiskey.
3. It's the name of a brand-new Polk Gulch bar that you definitely want to check out. And you should go on Wednesday, November 26th if you want a special deal that's just for Thrillist readers.
... and Jackalope is also the name of the bar's signature drink: JP Wiser's rye whisky, Cherry Heering, Benedictine, bitters, and lemon peel. Other cocktails include the Two-Toed Tom (Bulldog gin, lime, agave nectar, sliced jalapeño) and the Loch Ness (Death's Door gin, sweet & dry vermouths, mint, orange peel).
The signature 'tails are almost all $10, or you can order a Shot n' Beer Back for just $9. Choices for the latter include the Irish Breakfast (Jameson & Guinness) or your new favorite: the San Francisco Treat (Fernet Branca & Anchor California Lager).
You can reserve the upstairs "Duck Hunt Loft" (not pictured) for groups of 15-20, free of charge. And yes, it's called the "Dunk Hunt Loft" because they actually have a vintage NES, an old-school TV, and a zapper gun to take down digital fowl.
But even better than Duck Hunt is the Plinko board. For $10 a turn, you can play to win a myriad of boozy prizes, like a shot of Patron and another go, or a Russian Standard Siren (four shots of Russian Standard vodka, pineapple & cranberry juices served in a one-liter mason jar that's meant to be shared, but, you know: your call).
Best of all? If you go to Jackalope on Wednesday, November 26th (Thanksgiving Eve) and tell them Thrillist sent you, they'll give you two plays on the Plinko board for the price of one. Yup: all you have to do is say THRILLIST, and $10 will get you not one, but TWO chances to win. Just don't come crying to us if you get Unicorn Tears both times.
Daisy Barringer is Thrillist's SF Editor and the only thing she has in common with jackalopes is that they both only breed during winter electrical storms. She doesn't want to talk about it on Twitter @daisy.


"Women experiencing domestic violence will tell GPs more often than any other professional group."
The Australian Medical Association (AMA) has launched an important resource – Supporting Patients Experiencing Family Violence: A Resource for Medical Practitioners – to assist doctors to provide better support for victims of family violence.
The resource, produced in collaboration with the Law Council of Australia, provides information about specialist support services including health, mental health, drug and alcohol, legal, family support, and child protection services.
Launching the report in Brisbane with President of the Law Council of Australia, Duncan McConnel, AMA President, A/Prof Brian Owler, said that the medical profession has a key role to play in the early detection, intervention, and treatment of patients who have experienced family violence.
"Too many women in Australia experience some form of physical or sexual violence in their lifetimes," A/Prof Owler said.
"This is unacceptable for a sophisticated nation like Australia.
"The health effects of family violence in both the immediate victims and their families are devastating.
"Family violence affects people of all genders, sexualities, ages, socio-economic backgrounds, and cultures.
"Men can be victims. Women can be perpetrators. But it is clear that the overwhelming majority of people who experience such violence are women.
"The most prevalent effect is on mental health, including post-traumatic stress disorder, depression, anxiety, suicidal, ideation, and substance abuse.
"There are also serious physical health effects including injury, somatic disorders, chronic disorders and chronic pain, gastro-intestinal disorders, gynaecological problems, and increased risk of sexually transmitted infections.
"Australia must do everything that can be done to address the issue of violence against Australian women.
"Health care providers may see more results of violence in their patient contacts than law enforcement agencies.
"Women experiencing domestic violence will tell GPs more often than any other professional group.
"Responding effectively to family violence requires knowledge of the physical and emotional consequences of the violence, an understanding of appropriate and inappropriate responses, and having good networks with local family violence services.
"The AMA's resource for medical practitioners provides information from a range of sources as well as information about specialist support services.
"Through this resource, Australia's doctors can help say no to family violence."

The Broncos have been absolutely devastating on offense while getting better on defense every week.
The Seahawks defense bailed out the team in a close one versus the Texans. They test their luck against the revamped Colts.
The Patriots are hitting their stride with Brady clicking with Thompkins and the Pats' secondary finally putting things together. Add the fact that Gronkowski and Amendola could be coming back and the Patriots could get dangerous.
The Chiefs continued their defensive dominance against the lowly Giants, but their offense gave up a turnover for the first time this season.
The Saints came away with a big win Monday night. The Saints push their turnover margin to +5 after forcing 4 turnovers against the Dolphins.
The Dolphins lost the game of inches Monday night; triple covered Graham, near pick 6, and an early failed conversion in the redzone.
A win against the Jaguars is not worth all that much these days. The true test comes against Seattle.
Even with the loss of Locker, the Titans defense caused problems for Geno Smith and the Jets all Sunday.
The Bears played a sloppy game against the Lions where the loss of Henry Melton was felt.
Coming into Sunday, the Lions' only two victories were against winless teams. The Lions also turned the ball over 5 times Sunday.
The Packers are a better team than their record states. Hopefully they remembered where they parked their run game before their bye week.
The Ravens got torched on the ground for 203 yards by the Bills' running backs, while only rushing for 24 of their own.
The 49ers bounced back from back-to-back losses against the Rams, a team who hasn't rushed for more than 70 yards in any game this season.
The Texans' luck finally ran out after close wins against the Chargers and Titans. They have to improve on their -4 turnover margin.
Phillip Rivers is having a great start to the season. Hopefully he can keep it up in a division game next week versus Oakland.
The Cowboys have wins over the Giants and Rams. Next week against Denver will be a true litmus test.
The Falcons need to get consistent in their run game if they have hopes of getting Tony Gonzalez to the playoffs this year.
The Bengals won ugly against Green Bay, then lost ugly against Cleveland. Something is not clicking in the Bengals' offense.
Let's see if Carolina can carry their dominance in their game against Arizona.
The Bills are one of the best running teams in the league. It will be tested against a stifling Browns rush defense.
The Browns continue their march away from Teddy Bridgewater in a well evened match against the Bills next week.
The Jets finally gave their fans a performance they expected from a rookie quarterback.
The Cardinals scored all of the points in the 4th quarter against the Bucs and had a lot of help from the rookie quarterback, Glennon.
Who knew that all it took for the Vikings offense to click was a little bit of Matt Cassel?
The Eagles continue to run all over opponents, but can't come away with the points to win games.
The Redskins defense was finally able to win them a game. Too bad RG3 still isn't performing up to par.
The Rams are getting progressively worse in being able to run the ball, as well as defending it. Jacksonville may provide a chance to find themselves on offense.
The loss of Pryor was devastating since they have no offensive line to pass block for the considerably less mobile Matt Flynn, or is Matt McGloin in the works for a start?
With Mike Glennon starting at quarterback, the Buc's fan base may be able to comprehend their losing ways, but either way, it does not bode well for Doug Martin.
The return of Le'Veon Bell and Heath Miller really helped Big Ben cope with getting hit on virtually every play.
The Giants can't tackle, can't hold on to the ball, and can't rush the football. But we're supposed to believe they can run the table?
No one is happier to see the Jags suffer this bad than Rod Marinelli.

Chasers! As a singer/songwriter in the pop genre I am constantly studying the charts and seeing what the top pop songs are / who the top pop artists are, not only for my own inspiration, but also just to see where things are going. Pop music not only has a giant musical impact, but also a huge cultural impact in terms of pop fashion and pop tours. They sort of create an audio and visual narrative to our lives.
Since we are approaching the end of the year, I assembled my top 5 lists of best pop albums, top pop female singers (can be new in 2015, or just made a big splash this year), and top pop hits right now. Some of the albums are not purely pop in genre. However since they are played on pop and top 40 radio I considered them in my list.
My lists are a bit eclectic because, overall, 2015 was a pretty solid year for great pop music and introduced us to some new faces (Elle King, Tori Kelly, James Bay, The Weeknd). 2015 was also was a huge year to come back with a bang (Adele, Justin Bieber). I personally think that Uptown Funk wins for best song, best music video, and best pop moment on 2015. The production on the song is so slick, the arrangement is spot on, and it is one song that will be played for years to come. Uptown funk is really a song to get people on the dance floor and feeling good.
I can't wait to watch how the Grammys play out this year with all of these talented top pop artists and music.
I also released my debut single, "Paris," just recently here at the end of the year, which is now available to download and/or stream on every digital music portal. Just head on over to www.ericachase.com and you can hear and purchase the track, watch the official music video directed by Grammy nominated and CMA Award winner, Chris Hicky, and check out some exclusive behind the scenes footage of the music video shoot.
I am looking way forward to putting out more music in 2016 and seeing all of your faces on tour next year!!

I hear what you say! Or do I?
Even with an acute sense of hearing adults don't always pick up exactly what someone has said, a new study suggests.
Researchers discovered that even with an acute sense of hearing adults don't always pick up exactly what someone has said
This is because from childhood to adulthood, people rely on vision to understand speech and this can influence our perception of sound.
The study, carried out by PhD student Rebecca Hirst, from the University of Nottingham, in collaboration with her colleauges Dr Harriet Allen and Dr Lucy Cragg and Jemaine Stacey and Dr Paula Stacey from Nottingham Trent University, shows there is a developmental shift in sensory dominance as children grow older.
In 1976 the McGurk effect demonstrated the interaction of hearing and vision in speech perception. When we hear one syllable, but we see the mouth movement of another syllable, this leads us to perceive a third syllable.
Additionally, if a person is getting poor quality auditory information but good quality visual information, they may be more likely to experience the McGurk effect.
It's down to the way our brain develops
Researchers predicted that younger children would be less susceptible to McGurk responses and that adults would continue to be influenced by vision in higher levels of visual noise and with less auditory noise.
This is due to a part of the brain - which is responsible for auditory information - developing earlier than a part of the brain, which is responsible for processing visual information.
It is also due to children gaining more visual experience across childhood, (for example, when reading.)
The study showed that susceptibility to the McGurk effect was higher in adults compared with 3–6-year-olds and 7–9-year-olds but not 10–12-year-olds.
Adults and older children were more easily influenced by vision.
Reduced susceptibility in childhood supports the theory that sensory dominance shifts across development and reaches adult-like levels by 10 years of age.
Rebecca designed a 'spy' game called 'Spot the Sound' to launch her study during a science event for young children and their parents.
They recruited 96 children at the event and separated them into three age groups 3-6 years; 7-9 years; and 10-12 years. They were joined by 32 adults aged between 20 and 35 years of age.
Rebecca, a PhD student in the University of Nottingham's School of Psychology, said: "Our findings show that children rely more on auditory information. This means they are less susceptible to illusions in which vision changes sound. Conversely, adults are more likely to be influenced by what they see, and what they see can change what they hear."
Future research could focus on how much visual or auditory experience drives changes in perception for example, screen time or musical experience. Our findings are important for understanding how children perceive the world differently to adults and how this might influence the information they pay attention to.
Jemaine Stacey, a PhD student in Nottingham Trent University's School of Social Sciences.
The study called 'The threshold for the McGurk effect in audio-visual noise decreases with development' has been published in Scientific Reports.

Feds seek random inspections of tour buses
June 13, 2011, 10:07 PM UTC / Source: The Associated Press
By JOAN LOWY
Inspectors need authority to randomly pull over tour buses on the highway if they are to catch rogue carriers using a variety of schemes to evade even the most basic safety rules, federal and state officials said Monday.
Anne Ferro, who heads the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, told a House panel that her agency, working with state police, is forbidden from making such checks now. Police can pull over buses only if they see something to indicate a possible safety violation like an expired inspection sticker.
Concern about tour bus safety has spiked since March, when a bus returning passengers to New York's Chinatown after a night of gambling ran off a highway and struck a utility pole. The collision, the first of a string of high-profile crashes, sheared off the bus roof, killed 15 passengers and injured 18 others.
Of special concern are small bus companies known as reincarnated or chameleon carriers who continue to operate under new names or in new locations after being shut down for safety violations.
Ferro's call for random inspections was supported by David Palmer, an official with the Texas Department of Public Safety who testified on behalf of a coalition of government safety enforcement officials in the U.S., Canada and Mexico.
The bus companies with the most severe safety problems tend to be what's known as "curbside operators" who don't have a fixed place of business or bus terminal, Palmer said. The most effective way to inspect them is through random roadside checks, he said.
One reason it's hard for inspectors to catch up with such companies is they frequently change the locations where they pick up and drop off passengers — a parking lot one day, a street corner the next.
In Houston, where Palmer works, sometimes the only way safety officials can find rogue bus companies is to go to a neighborhood and look for flyers advertising where passengers will be picked up and dropped off, he told a hearing of the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee.
In place of roadside inspections, federal officials working with state police have been going to destinations popular with tour bus passengers to conduct surprise inspections. But the effectiveness is limited.
"Once the first group of buses gets to the location, then the surprise is gone," Palmer said.
Bus industry officials and several lawmakers said they were concerned that roadside inspections may put passengers at risk.
"The last thing I want to see on an interstate highway is a bus inspection and passengers unloaded," said Rep. John Mica, R-Fla., chairman of the committee.
Buses can be moved to locations off the highway if it appears there are serious violations, officials told the committee.
Lawmakers were also leery of Ferro's request for $50 million more in next year's budget to hire more bus inspectors.
"It's specific for boots on the ground," Ferro said. "Getting to high risk carriers enough, that's always a resource issue."
Federal officials rely on state enforcement agencies for help, but industry officials said only about a dozen states have aggressive bus inspection programs. It hasn't been a priority for many states or they've shifted money and manpower to truck safety enforcement.
"We see a lot of places that just don't put enough emphasis on bus inspections," said Pete Pantuso, president of the American Bus Association.

Ernesto Morón: cultivating timber trees in the Peruvian Amazon
by Jonathan Cornelius · July 11, 2019

Recently, researchers of the FuenteS project visited the farm of Ernesto Morón, who is producing seed of various native Amazonian species. Here we report on his experiences and opinions about growing timber trees.
Stopping at the highest point of his farm in Alto Yanayacu, Huánuco Region, in the Peruvian Amazon lowlands, Ernesto Morón points out some of the trees he has planted over the years, such as mahogany and its close relative, cedar; 'marupa' (Simarouba amara)with its lustrous composite leaves and olive-like fruits; colourful-barked 'capirona' (Calycophyllum spruceanum); 'shihuahuaco' (Dipteryxsp), loved by industry for its heavy and durable wood and by parrots for its large, nutritious seeds.
Ernesto Morón explains how he manages his agroforestry plots. Photo: World Agroforestry
But Ernesto's farm, his 'chacra', is an exception: although all the neighbouring properties have trees or forests, most of the high-quality timber has long gone and has not been replaced.
'Some others around here also planted at the same time,' he explained, 'when the Reforestation Committee came around with seedlings, but for the farmer it's a sacrifice.'
'A sacrifice? In what way?' we asked him.
He laughed and gently patted the trunk of a papery-barked 'ishpingo' (Amburana acreanatree.
'When they came, they told me that the shihuahuaco would be ready for cutting in 50 years, and that's too much for most people.'
'But not for you?'
'You need a source of income while the trees are growing. At the start, the agronomists told me that I couldn't combine those…' he said, pointing at his cocoa and fruit trees, 'with timber trees, but they're growing well. People from the Pucallpa market come to buy my oranges and mandarins. There's always a market for cocoa, too.'

After almost two decades, some of Ernesto's timber trees could already be harvested but he prefers to wait and not fell them before their prime. He already sells some tree seeds and is also looking at other options, such as eco-tourism and the carbon market.
We start walking downhill, towards a large 'pashaco' (Schizolobium amazonicum) tree, which dwarfs a mahogany sapling of the same age.
'The Amazon is the lungs of the world,' he says. 'It's important to conserve it, but no one helps the farmer.'
Later, we sit around the table in the front room of his house, which doubles as a store selling basic provisions. Ernesto's daughter-in-law places a generous jug of 'cocona' (Solanum sessiliflorum) juice on the table while, in a corner, his grand-daughter plays with a pet rabbit.
He tells us something of his personal story: his arrival in the lowland Amazon in 1998 after fleeing political violence in his native Tocache, his struggles to settle hundreds of miles from home and family.
'The problem is the lack of capital,' he says. 'It's hard to start and difficult to prosper without capital. For example, the long dry season here affects the cacao production: with irrigation we could harvest all year round.'
As we drive away, back to the city of Pucallpa, we reflect that there will always be individuals like Ernesto who will plant and care for trees, whether or not all the benefits flow to them. But restoring the natural capital of the Amazonian forest margins will require more than the sacrifices of far-sighted individuals.
The world should share more of the burden.

Matchmaking needs to change
If you are a gamer familiar with PVP games, and especially shooters, you are probably accustomed to dealing with matchmaking. Regardless of the title, genre, or franchise, matchmaking is the way players are matched in lobbies or servers to play against each other. Most gamers unanimously agree that dedicated servers are a ground level expectation for a more consistent game experience. However, even with more reliable connections there are problems that can plague and ruin the online experience, turning new or veteran players away. There are a variety of ways I think they can improve the player experience, beyond just making lag less of a problem.
In my experience with competitive gaming, there tends to be two types of player: the lone wolf and the team player. I'm sure there are exceptions to this, and periodically I've met hybrid players who enjoy both sides of the fence, but generally this is how it breaks down. An easy way to help congregate players of similar play styles would be to have a player profile that you fill out when you first get the game. It could ask you simple questions about what you like to do and how you play. Do you primarily go for the win or for kills? Do you like to communicate with your teammates or typically have your mic unplugged? Sure, some people would fill it out wrong, but for the most part players enjoy having their egos stroked, and these questions could easily be worded in a way to do just that. And if you phrase them as I have, in a dichotomous way, most players would answer correctly. This would help minimize self-focused players frustrating team-focused players, and would also help flow into my next idea: team finder lobbies.
Team Finder Lobbies
I think one of the leading causes of so many players just giving up on playing for the win or communicating with their team is how hard it can be to find a team to play with. But if you offered "team finder lobbies", players could search for games and end up in lobbies and matches where most of the people are also looking for a team to hook up with. If this was combined properly with the player profiles then people with similar play styles and preferences could slowly fill their friends list with gamers to play with. In fact, without the player profile element this idea wouldn't work that well because self-focused players would intentionally search for games in "team finder lobbies" because they would know all the teams were full of randoms. You would also have to disallow parties or grouped players larger than 2 or 3 Whether you play Call of Duty, Battlefield, or Titanfall, 90% of the game modes are team based, so creativity and innovation is needed to improve bringing people together who actually care about objectives instead of just going for kills. And another way to promote this and make connection priority stay on top is by having team only lobbies.
Team Only Lobbies
I already praised the matchmaking in Destiny's new game mode The Trials of Osiris in a previous post and video. The main point I made in those posts was that making connection the top priority in matchmaking should not be considered innovative but should be the foundational standard. One of the reasons they can make connection the number one factor when matching players is because only full teams can search for games in The Trials of Osiris. This simplifies the entire process as matchmaking just needs to find another full team with similar connection speeds and region instead of gathering all random people. The other benefit to this is that many players have probably been discouraged from playing team based games due to getting shellacked by full teams as they jump from game to game playing with a revolving door of random non-communicative players. That is undoubtedly another cause to so many players playing team based games and focusing only on their performance as winning and finding a team starts to feel hopeless. So it would benefit players who enjoy playing with a team as well as those who have just given up. The end result here might be a slightly smaller player pool on the outset, but as the competition and fun increases, reviews and word would spread, incentivizing other players to try it out. And one of my friends pointed out recently, becoming a camp master and pulling off good kill/death ratio is old news as such a large number of players have proven they can do that. Honestly any player with a reasonable amount of skill and patience can put up good numbers, especially when they avoid team death match and leverage objective based games to snag easy kills. Working together as a team and pulling off major feats is far more thrilling, exciting, and fun, which leads to my next and final section.
Better Game Modes
Players wouldn't be the only thing to benefit from team only lobbies. Another area that would benefit from this type of lobby would be more elaborate game modes. It's difficult to ask teams to do complex or layered objectives when so many people aren't communicating or even in the same party. But if you narrow the entry point into the game modes by requiring full teams you can start to open up the games and add more objectives or specific roles. If you think about most of the objectives in the majority of games right now, they are pretty simple and kind of repetitive (another reason people lose interest). This is why you will continue to hear me say that I think games like Overwatch, Battleborn, and Gigantic will hopefully add more depth, fun, and creativity to the competitive shooter genre. But other games like Titanfall 2 and future shooter titles like Homeland need to come up with better ways to not just repeat old matchmaking mistakes or recycle tired game modes. Time will tell, but it is definitely time for a change.

Home News Health Partnership Scheme Grant Winners Are Announced - And The Kambia Appeal Is One Of Them!
The Health Partnership Scheme (HPS) is a UK DfID initiative with The Tropical Health and Education Trust (THET) to build the long-term capacity of healthcare institutions overseas to deliver a better service to the communities they serve. We are one of four organisations in the UK selected to run three-year programmes to enable UK health staff to volunteer in developing countries for a minimum of six months at a time.
Our grant will provide funding for up to seven UK volunteers a year to work in Kambia to support the health services across the district. The project has been developed by Dr Stacey Mearns and Dr Clare Adams who both worked at the Kambia district hospital last year.
When asked about her experiences in Kambia, and how they relate to our HPS programme, Stacey said: "This project will enable volunteers to make significant contributions to health within Kambia in a sustainable manner. Volunteering on a project like this is not a one-way exchange. The experience offers insights and the gain of new perspectives and skills for life and work. My time spent volunteering challenged my concept of health, enabling me to see health in a much broader context. In addition it enabled me to develop a more extensive range of skills that are directly transferable back in the UK. I would strongly urge people thinking of doing this sort of work to get involved".
This project has three core elements: teaching and training, clinical support and quality improvement activities. We believe that the combination of these activities will improve the performance of local health staff, strengthening the health system through improved delivery of care and thus contribute to improved health outcomes for the local population in Kambia.

Judge of Israel for seven years after Jephthah; a native of Beth-lehem he had thirty sons and thirty daughters, and was buried in his native town (Judges xii. 8-10). As "Bethlehem" here is not followed by "Ephratah" or by "Judah," the town may have been one in the tribe of Zebulun (Josh. xix. 15).
Ibzan is identified by the Talmudists with Boaz.

"Regarding the DisLike Button…"

Tony Bilbow · Freelance writer and broadcaster at BBC Television Centre
First – I'm flattered that you want my opinion, Max.
Regarding the "Dislike button"- I agree with you because if it stifles discussion, argument and civilised dissent, it's demonstrably a Bad Thing. Fresh air is what's required (see third para below).
Re the juice thing and giving offence. I think Corinne overreacted a little to something that is, after all, a pretty feeble joke, but then it's easy for me to say because none of my family were murdered by the Nazis.
Censorship. The Lady Chatterley's Lover obscenity trial in 1960 was a mixture of absurd posturing by the prosecution and the evidence of the good guys – George Melly, Richard Hoggart, John Mortimer, et al. When the verdict was in and DH Lawrence's novel was finally vindicated I read that Lawrence's step-daughter said, "I feel as if a window had been opened and blown fresh air through England". That's how I feel about censorship in general.
Artists – writers, painters, sculptors, musicians – have a duty to offend and when people are offended they shouldn't expect an apology, but they can disagree, argue, discuss and reason. Many years ago I wrote a play, an adaptation of a Kingsley Amis novel. My agent hawked it around and one impresario said it was quite possibly the nastiest play he'd ever read. I rang Kingsley to tell him. He gave a kind of whooping laugh and said, "Well you must have done SOMETHING right!"
I'm with Oscar Wilde who said (I'm paraphrasing here) there's no such thing as obscenity in art – art is good or it's bad; and if it's bad then it's not art. Re juice again – there was a much funnier joke about Hitler which ended with him saying, "If I had my time over again I would do exactly the same – but this time no Mr Nice Guy!" Now that IS funny; and I'm sure some people were offended.
I'm rambling, I'm afraid, because I'm trying to recall the message that got lost; but I think the above is the gist of it.
Thanks, dad! Click 'Dislike' to see what Tony was responding to.
