Geeks Without Frontiers (www.geekswf.org) is proud to announce that we have been short listed for the "Global Grand Challenge Awards." The Awards are a central part of the upcoming Singularity University's Global Summit in San Francisco which Geeks will attend. It is not a simple task to positively touch the lives of a billion people in the coming decades, yet the summit is focused on understanding the impact of exponential technologies on humanity's greatest challenges.
Geeks Without Frontiers was selected because of its "DigOnce!" initiative. The social, educational and economic benefits of broadband connectivity have been widely recognised and connectivity is just as much a C21st revolution as rail was in C19th and electricity in C20th. Geek's current goal is to accelerate the deployment of fiber optic networks in both advanced and developing economies. When 90% of fiber optic costs are related to digging the trenches for laying the fiber optic cabling, the vision of the DigOnce! initiative allows for the installation of empty fiber optic conduits (the plastic pipes that fiber is later "blown" or "pulled" through) as new roads (and other infrastructure) are built and existing roads are dug up to enable fiber to be installed.
The Geeks DigOnce! team, has developed Model Legislation designed to require developers of new roads and companies digging up existing roads to lay sufficient fibre optic conduits to take care of future growth. I also deals with requiring other utility operators (water, gas, electricity etc) to share their infrastructure where appropriate. Doing this will save material cost and time and help to speed up the roll out of broadband connectivity. It is also a "green" initiative, since it advocates laying the conduits any time new roads are built or old ones are repaired. This will prevent a future need to tear up the roads to lay fiber optic cables and will avoid the associated disruption and negative effect on the environment.
Large road projects funded by the European Union, the International Finance Corporation, the African Development Bank and the Asian Development Bank could require conduits to be installed during road construction or road expansion. The International Telecommunications Union's Broadband Commission is now focused, from a policy point of view, on how to bring together concepts of broadband Internet with the UN's Sustainable Development Goals.
DigOnce! is part of Geek's 'Broadband for a Billion' initiative the other main part being VillageConnect which aims to bring 'proof of concept' connectivity to 20 villages/refugee camps in the next 18 months. www.geekswf.org.


Member of Parliament for Assin Central, Ken Agyapong says he will not contest the 2020 parliamentary elections based on advice received from his wife.
According to Mr Agyapong, his wife, was appalled by the video tendered as evidence against him by MP for Asawase, Mohammed Mubarak Muntaka and has since advised him not to contest the seat again.
"My wife told me not to go again and I won't go again; my constituents will try all they can to persuade me but I won't go again. I have a life to live and I will entreat people to come see my lifestyle after parliament".
Speaking on Adom TV Tuesday, the MP said his decision was based on unfair treatment received from his colleague politicians.
Mr. Agyapong is particularly not happy over what he believes to be discrimination against him.
"When the guy said I wasn't qualified to be an MP and that if I couldn't stay in Ghana with Anas then I should leave Ghana, no parliamentarian or politician said a thing because it was against Kennedy Agyapong so everybody heard nothing," he lamented.
Mr Agyapong appeared before the Privileges Committee Monday and rendered an unqualified apology to parliament and its leadership for describing parliament as "cheap".
He however denied ever calling Parliament "useless".
He told the privileges committee if the House feels slighted by his comments made on his television station, NET2 TV, he apologises for making them.

Jeddah InterContinental Hotel embraces green technology with Samsung Electronics
Jeddah InterContinental Hotel introduces green technology into its daily operations with aim to preserve energy, protect the environment, reduce costs and increase productivity by redesigning their database and installing new eco-energetic green technology devices offered by Samsung Electronics.
"We no longer need to use papers or pens in our daily work. By using Samsung's Note tablets, taking notes and recording video conferences has never been easier and responsible towards the environment. We've also opted for rubber-coated wires to link our conference rooms to cut on tape. In addition, our meeting rooms have been equipped with motion sensors to automatically dim down lights when detecting absence in the room," says Abdulrahman AlZahrani, director of sales & marketing at Jeddah InterContinental Hotel.
To highlight the importance of embedding green technologies in a working environment, Jae Cheon Park, general manager of Samsung in Saudi, adds, "The concept of green technology emerged as an eco-friendly technical solution, which can limit carbon emissions and global warming. To implement this concept, Samsung Electronics provided technical products as considerate solutions of their ecological footprint, by reducing costs and limiting energy sources to the best utilisation methods." "This direction not only drives positive behaviour within Samsung but also respects our partners' wishes to preserve a sound environment and adhere to the growing importance of eco-friendly products and green technology. Samsung is constantly seeking new innovations to meet these conditions.

Abbas: "A sad night" »
Mayor Lutfur, it seems
October 22, 2010 by trialbyjeory
As counting got under way at York Hall just after midnight tonight, it seemed certain that Lutfur Rahman had taken control of Tower Hamlets and become its first directly elected mayor on a turnout of about 25 per cent. According to the early samples, he'd outscored Helal Abbas right across the borough, apart from on the Isle of Dogs where the Tories' Neil King appeared to have come top.
Labour councillors were huddled in groups, seething and perplexed in equal measure. They were also trying to work out which of their number were "rats": which of them had quietly worked behind the scenes pretending to campaign for Abbas but in reality encouraging their own ward fan bases to come out for Lutfur.
A Mayor Lutfur will need 17 councillors – a third of the 51 – on his side to ensure he can push through his budget. Eight have currently declared and Harun Miah of Respect will make nine, which means he needs another nine from Labour to defect. As Lutfur will have the power to appoint councillors to paid positions, I don't think he will have too many problems getting his numbers.
To get a flavour, I repeatedly asked two Labour councillors tonight – Rofique Ahmed and Abdul Asad – if they had placed Abbas first on their ballot papers today. Both refused to say, which is very curious for supposedly proud Labour men.
There are serious fears over how the £1billion budget will be spent, particularly in a climate of harsh post-spending review cuts. And councillors from all parties seemed up for a united Opposition fight.
What I also heard repeatedly tonight from members of all parties that the "white vote" simply hadn't bothered to vote. The lack of mainstream media coverage did nothing to help that apathy, but there has to be extremely serious questions over this whole system of directly elected mayors. It's madness having such an important election outside the normal electoral cycle of local council polls.
If Lutfur has won, many congratulations to his team. I'm sure they all know that many eyes will now be watching them and the way they spend our money.

You conveniently forget that in May 60% voted for the mayoral system on a GE turnout.You cant have your cake and eat it!
I hope all sides can put their differences behind them and make a new start. This has been a divisive and damaging election, but recriminations will not help. A new start is required and everyone needs to play a part. Hopefully the imminent election of a ward councillor for Spitalfields & Banglatown (to replace Lutfur, who as Mayor, resigns) will be conducted on a civilised basis and then we can actually debate POLICIES – a subject that got lost in the hateful and spiteful
atmosphere of the past few weeks.

On a turn-out of 25% the eventual winner will have absolutely no mandate to rule the Borough. In the short term "Send in the Local Goverment Commissioners". In the long term campaign for the abolition of the Mayorality.

People shoulda bothered to come out and vote then!
on October 22, 2010 at 7:52 am anonymous
Sore loser!
If people dont come out to vote its their own loss. The bothered to come in national elections but dont bother for local elections it is no one's loss except the people who didnt vote.
Congratulations on Lutfur winning. He fought through all the muck and dirt thrown at him by all the papers. Lutfur was clearly the people choice to win throug on 1st choice!
This is the first election run by, and won by, Facebook. It's been historic in so many ways.

I feel sorry for Abbas. He needs to reflect. He needs to take some time out and think:
1. Have I been a puppet?
2. Have I betrayed my people?
3. Have I lied about my faith/been disrespectful in any way.
The great thing about showing respect for your own community and faith is that people then respect you for who you are. Think what Obama has done. The problem with our Bengali leader [wonnabis] is we do not want to learn. My advice to Abbas et al is- PLEASE COME CLEAN AND WORK WITH LUTHFUR. Do not go behind his back and kill his character, as it alway has boomerang effect! There will come your time, but you have to work for it.

This represents a massive self-destruction binge by the Labour Party, for which the finger of blame should be pointed firmly at Rushanara Ali, Jim Fitzpatrick, Harriet Harman and the Labour Party NEC (with the honourable exception of Christine Shawcroft).
This was an appallingly inept response to the islamaphobic onslaught by Gilligan et al (in part inspired by Fitzpatrick letting the genie out of the bottle) and which sadly, you, Ted, were swept along by.
Firstly, the NEC based their removal of Rahman as Labour candidate on technical grounds that were without merit (and have never been investigated); and then they cast over the second placed (white candidate) in favour of a useless also ran, whose only reason for selection as Labour Candidate was that he was not Rahman but was a Bangladeshi. In doing so they gave two fingers to the white voters of TH, and it was the Labour Party itself that turned the election into a battle inside the Bangladeshi community – a battle that they never stood a chance in, despite the presumption that this community is always solidly Labour. In fact, as the Respect vote in the 2004 Euroelections (when it topped the poll) had already showed, this community is far from being loyal voting fodder for whichever donkey with a red rosette the Labour Party thinks it can put up.
The Labour Party will be damaged for a considerable period of time and now faces two choices:
1) raprochment with Rahman and the readmission of him and his supporters back to the Labour Party, probably their best hope of reconstruction; but with it the price will be humiliation for Ali and Fitzpatrick and a significant dimimution of their role in the Party (I predict both would stand down at the next election rather than risk deselection in such a scenario).
2) Civil War and refusal to serve in a Rahman cabinet, with a likely further haemorghaging of Labour Party members to join Rahman outside the party; there is also the possibility of a resurgence of Respect with Abjol Miah running in the by-election and winning the seat.
Either way the prospects do not look good for Labour. At a time when the Tories and LibDems are launching the biggest ever onslaught on the post-war welfare state, the Labour Party should be focussed on a united resistance with the trade union movement to this onslaught, rather than a self-indulgent destructive binge based on the reputation of two rather mediocre MPs. Respect will now have to lead the whole community, white as well as Bangladeshi in resistance to the cuts deluge coming.
To add…I would say the TH community came out strong and showed their support for Lutfur for the injustice that happened to him and the tidle wave of media islamaphobia and false accusations. I think it shows the strength of people and their choice in candidate when they see wrong has been done.
on October 22, 2010 at 10:17 am The EastEnders scriptwriters couldn't make it up
A small part of the TH community came out to vote overall – not exactly coming out strong.
When the remaining 74% of the population wake up and realise the implications of the vote (or see how the council ends up being run) then the exact extent of Lutfur's support (or support for an elected mayor full stop) across all communities across the borough will become apparent.
For me this is end of Part One…

As for Labour taking back Lutfur and his mob, dream on,but Im sure Respect will have him. Like the Labour party in parliament we will take time out and regroup.
I say decency and honur and respect died yesterday when the Great Abbas came out of york hall and the jeers and taunts and dirt words used against him, his family and supporters was disgusting.

Life insurance provider Ethos acquires digital wills and estate-planning startup Tomorrow
Some of yesterday's services, as seen on the Company's website. (image yesterday)
Tomorrow, a Seattle startup that helps people set up digital legal wills and trusts, has been acquired by life insurance provider nature, companies announced Thursday,
Founded in 2016, Tomorrow's iOS and web apps provide online estate planning services without the need for a lawyer. The company has seen usage skyrocket since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, and more than 600,000 users have made legal will.
Ethos was also founded in 2016 with a similar goal to make property decisions easier and provide life insurance online. The company issued $13 billion in life insurance coverage last year and was valued at $2.7 billion in 2021. It raised more than $400 million from Sequoia Capital, Accel, SoftBank Vision Fund 2, GV, General Catalyst and Jay-Z's Roc Nation. Revenues and users increased by more than 600% in 2021 years.
picked up yesterday $17 million from IA Capital, Allianz, Aflac, Sinai Ventures and Flying Fish of Seattle. The startup employs 20 people, which will join the 250 employed by Ethos, which has offices in Austin, San Francisco and Singapore.

"The iOS and Web apps of Tomorrow will continue to provide legal wills, trusts, health directives, power of attorney and medical consent," said Tomorrow CEO and Founder Dave Hanley told Geekwire. "Tomorrow's Apps will continue to operate under the Tomorrow brand for now. This may change in the future."
Hanley founded Tomorrow after unexpectedly losing both of his parents. He was unprepared for the financial and legal processes, and felt that many others probably were not.
His previous startup, Shelfari, was acquired by Amazon in 2009. He sold the social media consultancy Banyan branch to Deloitte Digital in 2013, where he lived for nearly three years before co-founding Tomorrowland.
Ethos is interested in becoming a more comprehensive financial tool for families, who typically only interact with a life insurance company at the time of sale and when the policy needs to be enacted.
"Tomorrow's goal of creating a fast, easy and transparent way for people to secure their financial future and protect their families is directly in line with Ethos' goal of protecting the next million families." Peter Collis, co-founder and CEO of Ethos, said in a statement. "We were impressed with the team's customer focus and product platform – digitizing a traditionally slow, paperwork process – and we are excited to have tomorrow's team join us."
Terms of the acquisition were not disclosed.

Jessica and the Killer Electric Fan
From When They Cry Wiki
Jessica and the Killer Electric Fan (朱志香と殺人扇風機, Jeshika to Satsujin Senpūki?) is the first story released under Umineko no Naku Koro ni Hane.
"I'll make the ending just a little stylish… and… I-I'm done! It's finiiiiished!"
I finally completed it! The script for the play Saku asked me to write!!
One day of planning, one day of writing, one day for the final draft, a total of three days and nights spent to produce this masterpiece!
"Hey, Jessie, how do you come up with the song lyrics you're always writing?"
"It's easy. I just take the songs that well up from my heart and carve them into music! …Why do you ask?"
"So in other words, you take stories that bubble up from your heart and turn them into lyrics?"
"Yeah, that works too. In other words! I set the stories gushing from my heart aloft on wings of music!"
"Right, right! There's stories in your songs, Jessie! I bet if you if you wrote a story or something, it'd be amazing!"
"Ahahaha, yeah, maybe!! If I wrote a story, I'm sure it'd end up being awesome!! …So, what about it?"
…In retrospect, I should have given it more thought before I promised anything.
It turned out there was going to be a play at next month's culture festival. …I had no idea the conversation was going to end in me being asked to write the script with three days left before the deadline….
It's just that I got caught up in the enthusiasm and atmosphere of the moment.
I started thinking to myself, "With my heart and good taste, maybe I can do it~"
…Come to think of it, Mom warned me about this, didn't she.
"You and your father both have a bad habit of getting caught up in the mood of a situation and agreeing to things. You have to be careful."
……Auuu, I'm sorry, Mom.
This was the result of the three days and nights of hard labor I'd brought down on myself.
I finished up the writing late at night, and flopped into bed with a thud….
"…Fuuaah~…."
How do… you like this…?
I slaved over it for three days….
I worked without sleeping… so my mind is kinda fuzzy….
Damn you, Saku….. You're gonna pay dearly for this…. *Munya munya*
It's my first time writing a play script… I'm sure there's some rough spots here and there.
But all of my ideas and humor and heart and love and passion…
…Well, I cooked a bunch of things together, and mixed in apples and honey at the end, and the result is my big, moving, masterpiece script!
It'll definitely get thunderous applause at the culture festival.
Who wrote this wonderful script?
Eh, it was Jessie?! Wow, that's amazing~!
"No, no, it's…. Well, yes, it is that great, but…. Fuhihi… *Munya munya*"
"Hmmm, is it really? Let me have a look."
…Huh? Who's that?
My head still fuzzy with sleep, I absently turned toward the voice.
…It was a young girl I had never seen before, clad in a pink dress.
She was standing there munching on popcorn while she read the script I had just finished writing.
When she had read it all, she let out a long, delighted cackle.
"Kya-hahahahaha!! This is hilarious. Especially the punchline, that was the best! Kya-hahahahaha!"
"Th-Thanks…. *Munya munya*"
……That's weird. Did I really put in a punchline that would make someone roar with laughter like that?
Well, whatever. I don't know who this girl is, but she did praise me….
That means the play will definitely become famous.
It'll definitely, certainly be a huge hit, without a doubt….
"Hmmmm. 'It'll certainly be a hit,' you say. You're confident about that, huh?"
"…If I wasn't, I wouldn't have started writing it in the first place. …*Munya munya* …Definitely, certainly."
"'Certainly'?"
"Definitely, certainly."
"…Very well. If this script was written with absolute certainty of its success, then I, the Witch of Certainty, Lambdadelta-sama, will bestow the magic of certainty upon it!"
"…The hell's that? …Sounds fishy…. *Munya munya*"
"Hey! How dare you call it fishy! The magic I'm casting on this script is really amazing, okay?! It's like, this script will actually…"
The childish girl in pink was boasting about something, but… My consciousness was fading in and out, and I couldn't understand anything.
My awareness left me completely, and my soul began to sink into my fluffy feather futon and memory foam pillow…….
The next morning, as soon as I woke up, I dashed over to the guesthouse as fast as I could, barely able to control my impatience.
Battler was visiting the mansion for the first time in forever, and I wanted to have him read "the work I had certain confidence in."
Shannon happened to be there as well, so I took the opportunity to capture her and made both of them read it.
"Wow, you wrote a play script, Jessica? Huh!
"You're amazing, Milady. You can do anything."
"No, no, not at all. It was my first time, and I only had three days, so it was a pretty close fight. Ehehe…."
"But in spite of that, it's a great masterpiece that you have full confidence in."
"*Giggle* So you want the two of us to read this script and give you our impressions, right?"
"It'd be kinda dry if we just read it. Wouldn't it be better if we actually tried acting it out?!"
"Eh?!?! I-I've never, um, done any acting before, and…!"
"Man, that's a great idea. If you guys actually perform it for me, I can watch and do a final check on it too."
"In that case, it's decided! Let's do it, Shannon-chan! Or maybe you're uncomfortable being my co-star?"
"N-N-Not at all. I-I humbly accept your request……"
And there we were.
It was sudden, but the first performance of my script was decided on.
With a red pen in one hand, I put on airs of being a scriptwriter.
"Hey! There's a prince in this! Okay, I'll be the prince then!"
"Then I'll be in charge of the narrator and the princess."
"Right, let's get started. Your narration is up first, Shannon-chan!"
"Th-Then… I'll begin. …Ahem."
With that, Shannon walked forward and began to read the narration that marked the beginning of the story….
"This is a tale of a place deep in the world of fairy tales…. In this land, there was a country called Rokken Kingdom."
"Rokken Kingdom is a pretty simplistic name."
"Quiet, Battler. Not during the performance!"
"Deep in the mountains of Rokken Kingdom, there was a tall, tall tower, and in that tower, a princess was imprisoned……. Eh?"
Rumble, rumble rumble rumble*
"Wh-What's going on…?!"
"What on earth…?"
As Shannon began to read the narration.
The scenery around her and Battler… began to warp lazily, making a sound like the rumbling of the earth.
The scenery outside completely changed to that of a mountain range, and from among the mountains, accompanied by a loud rumble… impossibly, a tower was emerging!
Yes, a tower.
Not a bamboo shoot. It really was a tower.
It was just like something you'd see in a fairy tale illustration, made of stone and giving an impression of dignified strength…. A-Anyway, it was a tower.
…A tower, in the mountains.
"This is…. Your narration just now came true…?"
"M-Milady…. What on earth is this…?"
"……Th-That reminds me…. Last night, I sort of remember having a weird dream…. Something about magic being cast on my script…. But no, that's ridiculous…."
"Heheh, interesting. Why not, full points for stage presence! Let's keep going!"
"…Mi-Milady? Is it alright to keep going?"
"W-We can't stop now. Being a woman is all about guts! Go ahead, Shannon, take it away!"
"R-Right. …Um…. The tower was surrounded by a dense jungle."
"Whoa, this time a jungle popped up!! Awesome, it's awesome!! What's next?!"
"Th-The jungle was inhabited by a band of goblins, who… attacked the prince and his men…."
"……A band of…. Wait, what?"
…*rumble*… …*rumble ruMBLE RUMBLE*…
The low rumbling of the ground was gradually growing both louder and closer.
The jungle shook, and colorful birds cried as they took flight.
"…Uh, hahaha. I thought it'd be interesting if there was a climax right away, or something like that…."
"And I'm gonna wipe out those goblins with no sweat, right? Right?!"
"…I-In the script… it says you're attacked by the goblins and m-meet a terrible fate."
"W-Well, look. In this situation, you'd expect the prince to win. That'd be boring, right…?"
"The prince who's gonna meet with that terrible fate is me!! And what kind of terrible fate?! It doesn't say in the script!"
While this argument was occurring, the rumbling continued to grow closer.
*RUMBLE RUMBLE RUMBLE RUMBLE RUMBLE*!!!!
"Hieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!"
A large herd of goats was plowing through the jungle, straight toward us!
I say goats, but they weren't running on four legs.
They were each wearing something like a black tailcoat and running on two legs like a person.
Every single one of them was excessively muscular, and gave off a horrible stench of manly sweat!!
But even more frightening than that were their flaming red eyes and messily drooling mouths!
"L-Let's run away!! Battler-sama, Milady!!"
"We're gonna get crushed underfoot!! Even before that terrible fate shows up!! Come on, Jessica, hurry!!"
"I-I am hurrying… …Uwah!!"
My foot snagged on the root of a suspicious-looking tropical plant.
I barely had time to think "Ah" before I had toppled to the ground.
"S-Stupid— Jessicaaaaaaaa!!"
"Miladyyyyyyyyy!!"
The huge herd of goats swarmed toward me, and were on the verge of swallowing me up.
Even if there weren't a whole herd of them, a single one of those huge bodies would probably be enough to crush me as flat as a pancake.
…Who ever heard of a scriptwriter being killed by their own script?
G-Gyaaaaaaaaaaaaah…!!! ……….Eh?
At that moment, a miracle occurred.
For some reason, the goats all simultaneously burst open… and, for some reason, changed into an infinite number of soap bubbles.
I was left standing in a fantastical storm of soap bubbles.
With a *pop*, *pop*, *pop*, I was soon covered in a soapy film.
What… the hell….
In Shannon's hands, I saw the red pen and script I'd dropped when I fell down.
Basically, in a moment of quick-wittedness, she had amended the script so that "the goats turned into soap bubbles and disappeared."
"Nice, Shannon-chan."
"I'm honored that I could be of service…."
"But… man, what the hell…. We should still be in the guesthouse, right? But this is totally some kind of jungle, right? It's a tropical forest, it's a fantasy, right?! We've been sucked into the world of the script!"
"…Perhaps this is Lady Beatrice's magic…."
"That dream…. Maybe it wasn't a dream. ……That suspicious pink witch cast a weird spell on my script…."
"Jessica. Just for future reference. What's going to happen next in this story?"
"Um, let's see…. It's an adventure story full of twists and turns, and there's lots of, uh… I mixed in some apples and honey and let it simmer…. Listen, I pretty much wrote without sleeping for three days, okay?! My head's all fuzzy, but I still made it by the deadline! That's why, um, um!!"
"……In other words, you don't remember much of what happens in the story either, Milady…?"
"S-Sorry…."
If we turned the pages of the script, the "story" would progress.
At any rate. We discussed various ways of escaping from this jungle… no, from this story, and tried putting them into practice.
First, we tried physically destroying the script.
…It seemed that it was protected by magic or something, and no matter how much we stomped on it or kicked it, we couldn't even put a crease in it.
Next, we tried writing "The End" at the bottom of the current page.
At that point, the letters disappeared by themselves, and a different message in red ink rose into view: "Unless it is performed to completion, the story will certainly not be ended."
We tried various other experiments… but they were all useless.
Escaping this place by ignoring the rest of story was impossible.
"Isn't that obvious? It's a script of certainty with my magic of certainty cast on it, right? So it certainly can't end in the middle!"
"Ah… Ahhhhhh!! You're that witch who showed up in my dream!"
"Hi☆ Are you enjoying my magic? Ow! …Did you just hit me, Battler?! You hit me, the Witch of Certainty, Lambdadelta-chan-sama?!"
"If it's your fault, then that makes things simple! Hurry up and end this crazy world!"
"No can do. After all, at this point I'm just an observer. The one spinning this story is Jessica. So even I can't make the story end."
"That's so damned irresponsible!!"
"Who's the one who wrote this irresponsible script?!"
"A…Anyway. What you're saying is that we have no choice but to perform it all the way to the end, right?"
"You got it. Okay, good luck~! I'm off to get some popcorn."
Lambdadelta vanished from sight.
…We had a pretty good idea of the situation now.
No way out. No choice but to go forward.
"But we do have a weapon…."
"We'll have to rely on that red pen of Jessica's, huh?"
The story would develop as written in the script.
However, it seemed that by amending it right away with the red pen, we could alter the story one page at a time.
We had no choice but to proceed.
…Even though we were afraid of what awaited us.
At any rate, I had written it while half-asleep, letting my pen be guided by my heart.
Even I couldn't fully remember how the story would develop.
"Let's perform it, then!! I'm the one who wrote it, so I'm sure it'll have a happy ending!!"
"…It's kinda worrying that person who wrote it can't remember it."
"L-Let's just do our best…."
"Okay. …Shannon. Go ahead with the next bit of narration."
Shannon prepared herself for the worst, and turned the page.
"Emerging from the dense jungle, the prince found himself in a snowy country."
The jungle vanished without a trace… and we found ourselves surrounded by a vast snowfield.
A pristine snowfield, without a single footprint on it.
We could see glaciers in the distance, and an aurora glittered in the sky. It was a wondrous scene….
"…*Whistle* …This is some pretty awesome scenery…."
"Rather than just a snowy country… it seems more like the North Pole, doesn't it?"
"Uwah!! Brrrrr!! Was it really necessary to reproduce the temperature?!"
"C-Coooooooooollld!!!"
"I-I'm the prince, aren't I? Somebody bring me a warm coat!! Dammit, so what's happening in the script now?!"
"L-Let's see…. It says that the prince, who was on the verge of freezing to death… was attacked by a yeti, and met with a terrible fate…."
"AGAIN?!?! Jessicaaaaaaaaa! Do you have some kind of grudge against princes or something?!"
"N-No, it's, um! …Saku pushed this awful job off on me, so I was kinda pissed at her, and then I heard she was gonna play the role of the prince, so, yeah, um… ihihi~!"
"Rooooaaaaaaar—————!!!!"
"Ugyaaaaa, it's the yeti——!!"
*BOOM, BOOM*!! With a crash, the yeti swung an enormous club the size of a log!!
Uwah, Battler, look ouuuuuuuuut!!
Wait, this is no time to stand around looking surprised! Gotta revise the scenario!!
"Suddenly, the yeti mended its ways, and befriended the prince and his men!!"
"Rooooaaaaaaa——— ….?! *Cough cough*!!"
"Thank goodness…. That was close…."
"But now this guy's being too friendly. Hey, my hair's gonna get messed up, so stop patting me on the head. …A banana? No thanks. Where did you even get that from, anyway?"
"Milady, let's write a bit more and make Mr. Yeti our guide."
"Good idea…. If we don't hurry up and get out of here, we're gonna end up as popsicles…!!"
And so.
The prince and his men, having befriended the yeti, were guided safely out of the snowy countryside….
The next rough spot was a volcanic region covered with boiling magma….
"Wh-What the hell kind of scenario is this?! How were you planning to perform this at a culture festival?!"
"How should I know?! Ask whoever's in charge of the scenery!!"
"And in the volcanic region, a dragon with massive wings attacked them, breathing flames from its mouth…."
""Ugyaaaaaa—————!!!!""
"And in the cursed graveyard, they were attacked by a countless number of zombies…."
""Gyawawa—————!!!!""
"In the deserts of hell, a giant poisonous scorpion raised its tail high…."
""Dohieeeee—————!!!!""
"In the demons' swamp, hordes of bloodsucking leeches attacked, one after the other…."
""Oh for God's sake———!!!!"
"Milady, hurry!!"
"H-However, the prince and his men were protected by a magical barrier, and remained unharmed…. There….. *Huff, puff*!"
"Barely made it at the last second again…. Geez… I'm wiped out…."
The prince and his men had suffered many hardships, and were now wiped out.
And now the stage had returned once again to the jungle….
When they managed to push their way through the dense thickets of tropical plants….
"I-It's the tower! We finally made it to the princess's tower!!"
"S-So I'll finally get to play the role of the princess…!"
"But before that, if I remember correctly, the strongest and most terrible sorcerer is going to appear, and he'll be the final enemy standing in our way…!"
At the summit of the tower, there was a human figure.
He was wearing a large, jet-black cloak, and his silhouette had an imposing presence.
This was surely… the one who had kidnapped the princess and locked her in the tower, the strongest and most terrible sorcerer….
"Do it, Jessica!!"
"I've got the hang of this now!! …The great sorcerer leapt nimbly from the tower!"
The great sorcerer leapt nimbly from the tower, directing his fall toward the prince and his men.
"And just like that, he crashed to the ground and died!!"
And just like that, he crashed to the ground and died….
"Bwahahahahahaha!! What the hell, what the hell, that's hilarious, ahyahyahyahya!!"
Lambdadelta had appeared when we weren't looking, and was clutching her stomach and laughing uproariously.
"But that's the end of your trouble-filled journey, huh. Okay, time for the emotional finale!"
"We don't need you to tell us that! Shannon-chan, you're the princess! Jessica, take care of the narration!!"
"B… Battler-san."
"…I'm the prince right now."
"To be honest, there was originally supposed to be a kiss here, but I figured it'd be lewd, so I cut it and just had them live happily ever after. All's well that ends well."
"Ehhh, why'd you do that? I wanted to see Battler and Shannon's kissing scene~. Well, whatever. That funny punchline is coming up next anyway."
"Punchline? There isn't any punchline. The story's already over, see…?"
It was true. Jessica's script had ended there.
There was no punchline. The prince rescued the princess, happy ending. …Supposedly.
And yet, Lambdadelta licked her lips, and gave them a cold smirk.
"…It's over, Lambdadelta! Let us go already!"
"You know what? I'd really like to do that too, okay? …But there's still a punchline waiting for you."
"A… punchline…?"
"Yes, that's right. Punch-line. …The whole reason I gave this script magic was because that caught my interest. Hey, Bern, are you watching?! The good bit's about to start!!"
Bernkastel's figure appeared floating in the air, still in the middle of a yawn.
"I've been watching it. This whole boring play. …So? Does this thing really have an ending that'll amuse me…?"
"Yes, of course. I guarantee it."
"…It's stimulating enough to blow away my drowsiness?"
"*Giggle giggle giggle*. That's right, Bern~. …The stimulating climax is just about to start."
"…Oy. Sorry to interrupt, but… my script is all finished now. There's no climax written anywhere. See?"
"*Giggle giggle giggle giggle*."
"Ahahahahaaahaahaahahahahahahaha!!!"
With evil in their eyes, the Witches of Certainty and Miracles convulsed with laughter.
At that moment, the earth shuddered and cracked open. …What the— An earthquake?!?!
Rumble rumble*, *rumble rumble rumble rumble rumble*!!!
The tower crumbled away… leaving in its place a gaping, crater-like hole.
…Where did that hole come from?
When we looked into its depths… everyone was struck speechless.
A vast, howling whirlwind.
No…. An electric… fan…?
"What the hell is that?!?!?!"
"There's a huge electric fan spinning away at the bottom of the hole…?!"
The enormous fan was rotating at an incredible speed, and every time a crag crumbled away in the depths of the hole, it was smashed up and reduced to tiny pieces by the blades.
It was a huge, enormous… killer electric fan!!
"L-Look out!! Kyaah!!!"
Cracks continued to open up in the earth, and everything began to collapse into the ever-widening hole, as if it were all being devoured by the fan!
If we didn't get out of there fast… we'd end up falling into that hole too!!
"This place is collapsing too! Jessica, Shannon-chan! Run for it, hurry!!!"
"Battler-sama! Look out!!"
"Whoa?! Uwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!!"
The earth yawned wider, and Battler was swallowed up.
Shannon just barely managed to grab hold of his arm… but she too was dragged into the hole, leaving her dangling by one arm from the edge….
"Battleeeeeeer!! Shannooooooon!!"
"…L-Let go of my arm and climb up, Shannon-chan!!"
"I-I can't…! If I do that… you'll…!!"
One of Battler's shoes slipped off and tumbled into the abyss.
It was sucked into the fan, torn to pieces, and scattered….
"Let go of my arm…! At this rate, we're both gonna die!!"
"…I can't obey that order!!"
"Shannon, hold on…!! I'm coming to pull you up!! …Ahhh!!"
Another huge fissure appeared in the earth, and Jessica found herself separated from the others.
The other two were in trouble, but she couldn't even go and help them…!!
"Battleeeeer! Shannooooooon! Goddammiiiiiiiiiiiiit!!"
"Aaahahahahahaha, aaahahahahahahahahahaha!!"
Looking down on Jessica, crying out in despair… Bernkastel sneered.
"Not a bad climax at all. …Since I get to see Battler and Shannon be turned into hamburger. Jessica will go the same way, right? …Not bad. It's a fine punchline."
"Isn't it? *Giggle giggle*. I love you, Bern. …Because I know exactly what kinds of stories you love the most."
"Screw you!! How dare you turn my script into something this horrible!!"
"Horrible or not, you're the one who wrote it, you know."
"I didn't write anything like this!!"
"You wrote all that messed-up stuff earlier, though."
It was true, everything before now had been her work.
That's why she'd revised it.
But she hadn't written anything at all about this killer electric fan to begin with.
Jessica tried over and over to write about Battler and Shannon being saved, but the letters just vanished, as if they had been written on a sandy beach and then washed away by the waves.
"What's going on?! Why can't I revise it?! Damn iiiiiiiit!!"
Shannon's grip on Battler was growing weaker by the moment….
"The electric fan stopped!" No good!!
"The two were miraculously saved!" Still no good?!
"This story ended and we were saved!" …Why isn't anything working?!
"Why?! After everything else I wrote before, why can't I write anything this time?!"
"Well, the story's already over, right? You can only make revisions within the story."
"It's impossible to revise anything outside the story."
""*Giggle giggle giggle giggle giggle!""
"Dammit to hell!! Are you saying this horrible punchline is the climax of the story?! …You damned witches!! How dare you, how dare you screw up my script… and make everyone suffer like this?!"
"The one wrote this whole screwed-up script was you, wasn't it?"
"…Even this gruesome bad end, okay? *Giggle giggle giggle*."
"I did not! I never wrote anything like… like everyone being swallowed up by this killer electric fan and dying!!"
"Oh, is that so?"
"…And here we were, just trying to explain things to you so you wouldn't be made a laughingstock. Pity."
"This girl's pretty Paper-ish. She probably doesn't understand."
"Looks that way. …*Giggle giggle giggle giggle*."
"…Battler-san… I'm sorry…. My arm is… about to…."
"…It's fine…. Hurry up and let me go…. And then climb up, and don't look back…!"
"I won't go survive by myself…! …If you're going to die… I'm going with you!!"
"Don't be stupid, you have to live!!"
"You're the prince who came to save me, aren't you?! I don't want to be alone anymore…!!"
One by one… Shannon's fingers, clutching at the face of the cliff… began to lose their grip….
…It was all…… useless…….
"Aaahhhhhhhhhh!!!!!"
Shannon and Battler tumbled downward toward hell.
In the moment of free fall before they were sucked into the killer electric fan… they embraced each other tightly.
So that at the very least, they would be able to meet their ends together.
The two steeled themselves, shutting their eyes tightly….
—— THUMP*!!*
They weren't in hell, nor were they in the middle of the killer electric fan.
…They were on a bed in the guesthouse.
For a moment, they sat there holding each tightly in amazement.
"…Was… Was that a dream?"
"No. …There's no way it was a dream."
Their bodies were still covered with scratches from the cliff face they had been scraped against just a few moments earlier.
That great adventure in which they'd risked their lives really had happened.
…The fact that they'd returned to their own world… meant that the story had safely reached its "ending".
It was clear that Jessica had managed to end the story with some kind of revision.
…But Jessica was nowhere to be seen.
As for Jessica….
She was in front of the writing desk in her own room.
Lying on the desk were the script and the red pen.
Jessica had collapsed on top of them.
Lambdadelta and Bernkastel were standing on opposite sides of her.
At the very last moment, she had managed to revise one single line.
Because of that, the story had ended, and Battler and Shannon had been saved.
But… saved how?
Jessica hadn't written anything about that huge electric fan in the first place.
No matter how many times she'd tried to revise it, the change hadn't been accepted because the story was already over.
However, Jessica had definitely made a revision.
She had changed one single character.
…So in other words…?
"*Giggle giggle*. Good for you. Now you won't be made a laughingstock."
"Y… Yeah. …Thank you very much."
Jessica, who was still slumped over the desk, timidly raised her head.
Her face was bright red with embarrassment.
"Since I'm Paper, I'm in no position to be saying this, but…. When you try to look cool by using English words, you should really make sure that you've spelled them right."
"……By the way. FIN is actually a French word."
"Y-Yeah…. …I thought something was off about it…."
"You just miswrote it because you were sleepy, right?"
"…No, um…… ahahahahahahaha…."
She'd thought it would be cool to write <FIN> at the end of the story.
…But she was far too embarrassed to ever tell anyone that she'd ended up writing <FAN> by mistake.
"Of…. Of course…. …Ihi… ihihihihihi."

Chewing gum when you're hungry fills your tummy with extra air, causing bloat. Many gums also contain sugar alcohols and artificial sweeteners, like sorbitol and xylitol, which can lead to bloating. Skip the gum altogether or opt for an organic variety like Glee gum or Simply gum instead. They're still low-cal, but they don't use sweeteners that'll make you puff up.


On Tuesday, I gave you the tip on how to get a perfectly boiled eggs. I used those boiled eggs to make a very simple salad that goes well with a rice and curry meal or even a spicy stir fry.
I simply used lemon juice, salt and black pepper to dress the onion and chilies. The eggs look so pretty placed on top of this salad that it's perfect to set on a buffet table when entertaining.
Thinly slice onions and slice or dice jalapeno chilies. Add salt, black pepper and lemon juice to onions and chilies and allow onions to soften a bit in the acid.
Cut peeled boiled eggs into wedges and place on top of salad in a serving platter or bowl.
Serve with any rice and curry meal or stir fries. Enjoy.
I like this combination of flavors and textures.Very nice.
This is very pretty and easy to pull together.

Can TV viewing cause autism?
A group of researchers has suggested a possible cause for autism: television.
Hemera/Thinkstock
An autism diagnosis is something that every parent fears. It can mean a life of self-contained struggle, limited growth and social incapacitation for a child, and there is no cure. According to the National Institute of Mental Health, approximately one in 300 children in the United States suffers from autism-spectrum disorders (ASD). According to the Cornell and Purdue University researchers who released a study connecting toddler-age TV viewing with autism occurrence, that number is more like one in 175.
When an infant or toddler exhibits abnormal
social behavior such as refusing eye contact, withdrawing from outside stimulation and obsessively focusing on a single object and shows slow, non-existent or suddenly regressed psychological development in areas like speaking and understanding language, the wide variety of autism-spectrum disorders becomes a possible explanation.
Autism is the most severe form of these disorders, and an autistic child leads a fairly limited life (at least from an outside perspective), unable to effectively communicate, form emotional connections and manage the stresses of daily life. There are other, milder disorders like Asperger syndrome in which the child can live a more normal life while dealing with relatively manageable social problems.
Studies have shown that ASD affects multiple major brain areas, including the cerebellum, cerebral cortex and brain stem. Science has been trying to uncover the cause of autism for decades, focusing on areas like abnormal brain development, a mutated gene called MET that increases the risk of autism (but does not seem to cause autism on its own), childhood-vaccination ingredients (which have been almost entirely ruled out as a potential cause) and every other potential biological trigger under the sun. But a group of researchers out of Cornell and Purdue has focused on a very different possible cause: television. And while headlines are announcing "TV Causes Autism," that's not an accurate representation of what the study found.
Here's what the researchers actually discovered:
Autism-diagnosis rates began to increase dramatically around the same time that cable TV was introduced in the United States, and counties with greater access to cable TV saw greater increases in autism diagnosis.
Autism-diagnosis rates have increased faster in rainier parts of the country.
The researchers related the second finding to television by referring to other studies that suggest that children in rainier climates tend to spend more time indoors than children in less rainy climates; and children who spend more time indoors tend to watch more TV.
What the study did not discover is that TV causes autism. The researchers behind the study believe their findings indicate that watching a lot of television before the age of three can trigger the development of autism in children who are already at risk for the disorder, such as those who carry the supposed "autism threat" mutation on the MET gene. The study did not find that children who are at risk for autism will be saved from the disorder if they're not allowed to watch television. To read the full findings, see Cornell University: Does Television Cause Autism?.
Despite the dire headlines, probably the strongest finding to come out of the study is that autism researchers might do well to expand their areas of investigation. Until now, research has focused mostly on biology -- the brain and DNA structures and how they may be affected by such processes as genetic mutation, abnormal childhood development and the introduction of foreign chemicals into the body. What this new study suggests is that other, non-chemical environmental factors could provide at least partial clues to the autism puzzle that so far have been very well hidden.

Q: Perform an undo action using a script I have an excellent interactive script which sorts and processes a variety of filetypes from an unsorted folder into newly created directories.
I was wondering how I could write a small script or modify the existing script that so that I could unwind / undo the executed script and its sorting process back to its  (pre sort) state if need be.
#!/bin/bash
read -p "Good Morning, Please enter your file type name for sorting [ENTER]:" all_extensions
if cd /Users/christopherdorman/desktop
  then  while read extension
      do    destination="folder$extension"
        mkdir -p "$destination"
        mv  -v unsorted/*."$extension" "$destination"
      done   <<< "${all_extensions// /$'\n'}"
        mkdir -p foldermisc
        if mv  -v unsorted/* "foldermisc"
      then  echo "Good News, the rest of Your files have been successfully processed"
        fi
    for i in folder*/; do
        ls -S "$i" > "${i}filelist"
        cat "${i}filelist" >> ~/desktop/summary.txt
    done
fi

A: If you want to generate a script with an inverse action for each action you're performing, use printf %q to quote names in an eval-safe manner. For instance:
if [[ $undo_log ]]; then
  # at the top of your script: open FD 3 as undo log
  exec 3>"$undo_log"
fi

# later:
mv  -v unsorted/*."$extension" "$destination"

# ...and, if we're generating an undo log, generate a sequence of appropriate commands
if [[ $undo_log ]]; then
  for f in unsorted/*."$extension"
    printf 'mv %q/%q %q\n' "$destination" "${f##*/}" "$f" >&3
  done
fi

Europe's avant-garde art elite dissect social crises
Press release no.76
On Friday, 28 June, the large-scale international exhibition Critique and Crises. Art in Europe since 1945 will open at the Kumu Art Museum. Within the framework of the exhibition, the works of almost a hundred great names of European avant-garde art from both sides of the Iron Curtain will be brought to Estonia for the first time.
The Cold War, which followed World War II, fundamentally impacted Europe's political and social landscape and it continues to do so until the present day. Yet many of the attitudes that remain from the Cold War are anachronistic and this exhibition proves this. For the first time, Critique and Crises examines the art from that period as an integral whole, without categorising it ideologically, geographically or politically into two separate camps: the East and the West.

The roots of the political situation of the Cold War era can be found in the 18th-century Age of Enlightenment. The Enlightenment led to an unceasing process of criticism and crises which resulted in both ruinous and happy times. Aesthetic radicalism, a term that can be used to describe the avant-garde art of the Cold War era, was one of the most important positions for criticising the social and political situation and for highlighting the crises.

India's Solar Imports Nosedive in Q1 2020 Amid Lockdown Due to COVID-19
Solar imports totaled $151 million in Q1 of CY 2020
Mercom Research Focus
Anjana Parikh
Mercom Research Focus, Other
India's solar imports fell by 77% year-over-year (YoY) in the first quarter (Q1) of the calendar year (CY) 2020 with $151 million (~₹10.8 billion) compared to $650 million (₹45.8 billion) during the same quarter in 2019, according to the latest trade data.
In a quarter over quarter (QoQ) comparison, Q1 2020 imports dipped by 72% compared to $529 million (~₹37.6 billion) in Q4 2019.
According to Mercom's channel checks, the primary reason behind the slowdown of import activity was the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, which kickstarted the disruption in the supply chain with the shutdown of manufacturing units in China. Recognizing this, the government of India, on February 19, 2020, had clarified that the disruption of the supply chains due to the spread of Coronavirus should be considered as a case of natural calamity for which force majeure clause may be invoked. Following this, the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy also issued an official memorandum stating that the time extension in scheduled commissioning of renewable projects due to the disruption of supply chains will be treated as a force majeure event.
Mercom India Research's Q1 2020 India Solar Market Update report found that due to supply shortage and logistical issues, construction activity was affected, and most of the project commissioning timelines were extended and moved.
On the other hand, solar exports saw a slight increase of 5% YoY in the first quarter of 2020. In Q1 2020, the export of solar cells and modules amounted to $35 million (~₹2.5 billion), while it was $33 million (~₹2.3 billion) in the same period last year. In a QoQ comparison, exports fell by 53%.
The majority of the Indian solar imports were from China with 79% in Q1 2020, followed by Vietnam at 9% and Thailand at 7%. China's share fell to 79% from Q4 2019 in which it accounted for 85% of the imports.
According to the trade data, India's export to the United States continued to be strong at 78.6%, followed by Turkey at 10.1% and South Africa at 2.1%. In comparison with Q4 2019, the U.S. was the biggest market accounting for nearly 87% share of total exports. Notably, the U.S. just accounted for 15.4% of exports from India in Q1 2019.
Solar Import & Export Activity in FY 2019-20
For the financial year 2019-20, the import of solar cells and modules totaled $1.7 billion (~₹128 billion), a decrease of 22% YoY. However, the exports rose by 76% YoY at $213 million (~₹16 billion).
In FY 2019-20, Indian solar imports accounted for 77.5% from China, followed by Vietnam with 8.4%, Thailand with 7.2%, Singapore, and Hong Kong with 1.9% each, respectively. In FY 2018-19, China accounted for 78.4%, whereas Vietnam and Thailand accounted for 4.3% and 2.5%, respectively.
Subscribe to Mercom India Quarterly Updates for a detailed analysis of data by country
In FY 2019-20, the industry saw a rise in the Indian solar exports, especially to the United States. India exported nearly 81% to the U.S., followed by Turkey (4.5%), and Belgium (3.2%). By comparison, India exported around 44% to the U.S. in FY 2018-19.
The safeguard duty imposed on solar cell and module imports from China, Malaysia, and Taiwan in 2018 is scheduled to end in July 2020. The Directorate General of Trade Remedies (DGTR) will hold an oral hearing on June 11, 2020, to discuss the continued imposition of the duty. Thie decision will have a significant impact on imports going forward.
Further, the Indian government has proposed the implementation of basic customs duty (BCD) on solar imports. This measure is also aimed at safeguarding the interests of domestic solar manufacturers who say that the import of cheap products from China is hurting domestic manufacturers. Mercom recently analyzed the implications of this duty on the special economic zones of the country.
Also, due to the disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and the prevailing situation because of the subsequent lockdown, the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) has extended the deadlines for the approved list of models and manufacturers (ALMM) List 1 (solar PV modules) and ALMM List-II (solar PV cells) by six months from March 31, 2020, to September 30, 2020.
The detailed data report on solar import and export is available by subscription of Mercom's India Solar EXIM Tracker.

Super Smash Bros. – Overview
"Duke it Out" the box tells us. The prospect of the larger Nintendo universe crossing over for the first time was a major draw for this title.
Perhaps the most overlooked entry in the series; it's finally time to look at the final game in this Smash Bros. feature. Super Smash Bros. for the Nintendo 64 is the first in what is now one of the most popular and competitive fighting game series of all time. And as an added bonus it finally brought all of Nintendo's long running franchises together, in a crossover that many could only have dreamed about. Yet despite the legacy it's left behind, there's not really very much to hold our attention here.
See those percentages at the bottom? That's what we had to watch out for, otherwise our character would be flung (quite comically) through the air and blown off the sides.
First released in 1999, Super Smash Bros. for N64 takes a fresh approach to the fighting genre; rather than having players deplete health bars to win each fight, we had to knock them off the screen entirely. Up to four players at once had to damage their opponents to accumulate a damage percentage, which as it grew made it easier to launch our opponents' sky high. Once that happened they'd either lose a life or we'd gain a point (depending on battle settings). This helped Smash 64 stand out against its contemporaries, giving it that party game vibe that many other fighters lacked. It proved to be a game which was easy and fun to pick up but held so much depth for dedicated fighter fans. Despite the relatively small roster of fighters and stages, there remains much gameplay to master in this title.
The character selection may be small but they represented Nintendo's most popular franchises of the day. There sure are some iconic faces on the roster.
Albeit, it cannot be avoided, the game is very small. With 12 fighters, 9 stages and only one mode besides versus, it doesn't take long to complete Smash 64 at surface level, meaning most of the enjoyment to be had here will come from playing with friends. What makes things further difficult for Smash 64 is that it doesn't necessarily offer anything that its successors don't have. From stages and gameplay modes to the very special and throw moves that each character can use, everything can be found alongside a plethora of extras within Super Smash Bros. Melee and beyond. With the advent of huge fighting games that have a dizzying number of features, it makes this little title difficult to hold our attention very long. Playing Smash 64 is for the novelty of playing the original title, more so than anything else.
What it is does have however is an interesting premise whereby the fighters cast as toys . The opening credits show a hand playing with their toys within a bedroom, the same hand supposedly that us players face-off against at the end of the main campaign. While this has no effect on the gameplay itself it does give the overall product a lovely aesthetic that is gives it pehraps a greater niche to stand on. It can be seen through the character's animations, as their bodies move with the fluidity of toy dolls that have come to live of their own accord. It's almost as if Toy Story was being applied to Nintendo. It may be a largely insignificant aspect of the game but it is one that we can at least appreciate, separate from the remainder of the series.
Check this tournament level fight to see the animations in action. Of course the easiest way to see for ourselves is just to pick up and play.
Ultimately, Smash 64 is a praiseworthy title; it's still a great game to play despite it's limited features. Yet it's hard to recommend it to anybody who isn't a die-hard Super Smash Bros. fan, as everything we can get out of this title can be found in its sequels. It's more of a collector's item than anything else, but at least its remains a darn good one to play.

After over two years travelling, next September 21st, LastCall will land in Hong Kong for the 1aSpace as a part as a collective exhibition called: "Destination Berlin".
1aSpace, was founded in 1998, as an independent, non-profit, contemporary visual art organization and art venue founded by a collective of artworkers from Hong Kong.
LASTCALL, is a personal project as well as an open project which was born as a reflection of many hours spent at airports waiting to fly out. It is a reflection about the use of the new public spaces. LastCall analyzes how limitis between public and private space disappear in an airport terminal, using the photo language.
Destination Berlin is a a group show that reveals six individual glances and expressions on the theme of identity, through a common platform: the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall and the reunion of the German city. The exhibition shows the work of 6 international artists: Jacqueline Kooter, (Amsterdam), Shirley Wiebe (Canada), Susana López F. (Gijón), Thea Jentjes (Amsterdam), Wai Kit Lam (Hong Kong) and Wai Yi Lai (Hong Kong).
Over the last weeks we have met each one of the artists who take part in Destination Berlin through some photos have been taken for this special edition, Letzter Aufruf. Destination Berlin, 2012.


Anna Parkinson is an author and healer, committed to teaching clients how they can help to heal themselves. She was a BBC producer before she trained as a healer and massage therapist after healing her own brain tumour. Her latest book 'Change Your Mind Heal Your Body' describes her experience of healing and shows you how you can achieve this in your own life. Her earlier book, 'Nature's Alchemist' tells the story of herbal healing through the life of her 17th ancestor and royal herbalist John Parkinson. Anna teaches healing workshops and gives talks about herbs and about healing.
Anna uses the Body Mirror Healing technique developed by Martin Brofman, author of 'Anything Can Be Healed.' Using this powerful technique the healer acts as a mirror to the healee's consciousness and can reflect back to them the tensions that have put their body or life out of balance. At the same time the healer readjusts the balance of their energy to bring about healing. Anna also uses Hawaiian lomilomi massage which is a gentle but profound massage technique that reaches deep into the client's subconscious body to allow release and re-energising.
Who are my consulations for?
Healing is the bedrock of treatment for all physical and emotional tensions. Your body reflects your consciousness and this treatment will show you why and how tensions have arisen as well as making you feel different and better. It is used for anyone, from children through to octogenarians. Lomilomi is the perfect follow up or accompanying treatment to allow you to gently and enjoyably release nagging tensions that have been inhibiting you from expressing your power. If you like massage, you'll love lomilomi. It's the professional's choice and is known to release waves of energy in your body.
A Body Mirror Healing session costs £120. It last from 1 ½ to 2 hours and includes a free CD record of the healing feedback so the healee can reflect on the conversation at leisure.

Q: Variance of the average sample correlation coefficient This might be stupid but hopefully not. Say we have a sample (of length T) for 3 variables a, b, and c, and we compute the sample correlation coefficients $r_{ab}$, $r_{ac}$, and $r_{bc}$. We define the Fisher-transformed random variables $z_{ab}=atanh(r_{ab})$, $z_{ac}=atanh(r_{ac})$, and $z_{bc}=atanh(r_{bc})$. We know that $z_{ab}\sim\mathcal{N}(atanh(\rho_{ab}),\frac{1}{T-3})$, $z_{ac}\sim\mathcal{N}(atanh(\rho_{ac}),\frac{1}{T-3})$, and $z_{bc}\sim\mathcal{N}(atanh(\rho_{bc}),\frac{1}{T-3})$, where $\rho_{ab}$, $\rho_{ac}$, and $\rho_{bc}$ are the population correlation coefficients.
Now, define $\bar{z}=\frac{1}{3}(z_{ab}+z_{ac}+z_{bc})$. Since we have an average of normals, $\bar{z}$ should also be normally distributed with mean $\mathbb{E}[\bar{z}]=\frac{1}{3}(atanh(\rho_{ab})+atanh(\rho_{ac})+atanh(\rho_{bc}))$. But what is $Var(\bar{z})$?
Under independence $Var(\bar{z})=\frac{3}{T-3}$, but this does not seem right. Another way of framing it would be to ask: what is the covariance of two (Fisher-transformed) sample correlation coefficients?

The screw that you are describing has a security torx head. That type of screw is not intended by removed by anyone but a service technician. I recommend that you have a service technician complete this repair. We don't provide repair help on microwaves since they contain high-voltage components that can retain a lethal electrical charge of up to 2200 VAC -- even when the microwave is unplugged. Repairs and adjustments, even minor ones such as replacing lens covers, can cause microwave leakage or exposure to dangerous components. A microwave shielding leakage test should be performed after any microwave service. It is for these safety reasons that we are unable to guide you in microwave repairs and instead recommend scheduling service with a qualified service technician. You can schedule service online with Sears Home Services or by calling 1-800-4-MY-HOME. We thank you for your understanding in this matter and hope we can help you with other questions and repairs in the future.
