[OWLS Blog Tour] We All Live in a Pokemon World: An Ode to Pokemon III
Published on November 27, 2018 September 27, 2019 by Blerdy
Hey Hey Heroes, Travelers, and Wandering NPCs, its been awhile since I participated in one of these OWLS Blog Tours. But, when I read the prompt for this month's tour, I just knew I had to participate.
Here at OWLS, we are pretty thankful that we are able to come together as a community and share a love and appreciation for anime and manga. This month we will be showcasing our appreciation by giving a shout out post to our favorite manga artists, creators, production companies, and writers who produced some of our favorite works. We will be discussing our favorite works by these creators and our reasons as to why we appreciate them.
–November 2018 Blog Tour Prompt
In the spirit of Thanksgiving, each and every member of the OWLS team has been sharing things they are thankful for; from content creators to specific series to personal stories, each member has taken this month's topic and made it their own. Just before me, Flow wrote about two visual novels that left a huge impact on their life, so check that out if you haven't already! Next on the 28th is Scott, so definitely keep your eyes peeled for that soon!
For my post, I'm going to write about a topic I have written about at length several times before, but is no less important to me… Pokemon!
I have been in love with the world of Pokemon since I was eleven years old when I received my first ever Pokemon game, Pokemon Crystal Version, maybe even before that, since I have fond memories of watching the Pokemon anime on Kids WB when I was a kid… I never missed an episode, I was enamored with Ash's Pokemon journey and the adventures he had each week with Misty, Brock, and his best friend Pikachu. I remember wishing I too could embark on my own Pokemon Journey one day, a dream I fear I have never quite given up hope of making a reality.
I watched a lot of cartoons when I was a kid, but, for me Pokemon was the series that stuck with me the most, so it was only natural that I took my love to the next level. I remember seeing a commercial for Pokemon Crystal on TV and I lost my shit! Up until that point I didn't know that there was a game, let alone a whole series of games that I was missing out on, so I did what any kid do in that situation, I begged my mom for a copy of the game and she flat out told me "no".
I was undeterred, dropping hints, circling it in the Toy's R Us sales papers, and even leaving a few clippings on her pillow… she was not amused. But, I wanted that game, I wanted to catch my own Pokemon, train them, and challenge Gym leaders just like Ash and Pikachu, so I kept up my efforts and I was rewarded on Christmas day, with my very own copy of Pokemon Crystal Version and an Electric Gameboy Color! #BestChristmasEver I was over the moon! I played that game all the time, even getting one of those light attachments so I could play it at night under the covers… there were a lot of sleepless nights back then, but I didn't care, me and my partner Tracy, a magnificent Cyndaquil, were too busy exploring all the secrets Johto!
While I'm technically from the Gen I generation (I know it's redundant), I didn't start with the the Gen I games, rather, I got my start in Johto and for me that is forever the place I think of first when I think of Pokemon. It's where I spent my fondest childhood memories, and it's the region that I think of as my home away from home…
I will always remember agonizing over which starter Pokemon to choose, even though I almost always go with the Fire-starter, but, I will never forget my first ever Pokemon, my wonderful Cyndaquil named Tracy. We did everything together, and when we defeated Red at the top of Mt. Silver, it wasn't just my victory, it was the collective efforts of me and Tracy (now a badass Typhlosion) and the rest of my team. Each win and loss is a memory hold near and dear to my heart and to this day, I still name all of my Cyndaquils "Tracy" in honor of the very first one (my Blog's URL is even a tribute to it).
And I think it was this feeling that Satoshi Tajiri wanted to capture when he created the Pokemon franchise. It was born out of Tajiri's desire to recreate a piece of his childhood. As a child Tajiri used to collect bugs, spending hours searching the fields, forests, and ponds near his home in a seemingly never ending quest to catch them all. Even after he'd grown up and out of his hobby, and the fields and ponds he used to explore were paved over to make way for new shopping malls and apartment complexes, Tajiri never forgot the wonder and excitement from that time.
There's something nostalgic about the series that despite being in my late 20's I always find myself coming back to… Maybe it was the idea of being able to travel to far off lands with super-powered creatures or maybe it was flashing lights and bright colors that so captured my imagination, but, I fell in love with Pokemon and I never stopped, even after I was "too old" for Pokemon. The franchise has evolved into one of the biggest and most expansive series in the world, with various games, films, toys, and other corporate cash grabs, but beneath all of that is a 10 year old exploring the vast expanses of their imagination with their beloved Pokemon companion by their side… and that's what Pokemon is all about, capturing that childhood wonder and excitement and sharing it with others. That's what makes this series so timeless, and now with the internet and online play, we can connect with one another in ways that weren't possible when I was a kid… We truly live in a Pokemon World and I for one am thankful to Satoshi Tajiri for making that possible with his absolutely wonderful game series! I wouldn't be who I am without Pokemon and I am so grateful to have had the opportunity to revisit the series all these years later… and maybe one day I will share that love of Pokemon with my own children.

I love Pokemon. I first got into the anime and that was the beginning of my anime obsession. As a kid, I never played the GB games like Red and Blue or even Crystal. I played the Stadium Game on the N64 and a bit of the card game for the GB. I mostly collected Pokemon in trading cards. I didn't get my official Pokemon game until I got a DS and I got Pearl. Regardless, Pokemon holds a special place in my heart.
Pop Culture Literary says:
What a fun post! I grew up with Pokemon too. I remember my sister's and my excitement watching the commercials building hype for the anime leading up to it's KWB release. It became a huge influence on us from that moment on, and is still something that I look back on fondly. I won't say that Pokemon got me into anime (that honor goes to Totoro and Nausicaa), but it eventually lead into me finding out what anime was. I enjoyed reading about your experiences with Crystal. Those games were amazing, and I hope that they did indeed fulfill Satoshi's wishes to recreate the bug capturing magic of his childhood. It sounds like they inspired exactly that magic in your childhood.

If the deviation from the original term of the contract has not been accepted and is deemed to be serious enough to have altered the intended result of the contract, the party who deviated could be held responsible for breaching the contract.
When a breach of contract occurs, the non-performing party can be subject to a claim for damages by the other party in the contract. If a contract has been breached by one party, the non-breaching party will no longer be bound by the obligations outlined in the contract.
To be successful at claiming damages, the non-breaching party will be able to support their claims for a breach if they made sure to perform all of the obligations required of them by the contract up until the breach by the other party occurred. They also must have been sure not to do anything that could be considered interfering with the contract or making it unreasonable for the other party to have accomplished.
When a claim does occur, the non-performing party will most likely try to find excuses for their conduct, so it is important to have a record of the aggrieved party's adherence to the contract and their obligations laid out in it.
Since the performance of a contract can be difficult to categorize, courts have begun to see these cases in terms of "breached" and " not breached" to be able to make a fair judgment. The doctrine of "substantial performance" can also prevent a party that has mostly fulfilled their obligations stated in the contract from suffering a major loss in a claim due to falling short in an area of the contract that did not affect the overall essence of the contract or its intention.
The court may limit cases to those where a true breach has occurred, causing the contract to not be fulfilled, because the court would otherwise be swamped with cases if every customer filed a claim for damages for dissatisfaction or imperfections in services. If the party fell short of perfection but substantially performed the duties underlined in the contract, they have the right to sue for payment.
Though it is possible for the dissatisfied party to win an adjustment to the payment, if the party fails to perform the contract fully and affects the essence of the contract, they cannot sue for payment even if the failure was unintentional.
A party has the right to terminate a contract for non-performance and sue for damages as long as the non-performance affects the core of the contract agreement. Even though parties are expected to fulfill all of the terms of the contract, non-performance does not always constitute a violation of a contract.
Under contract law, small businesses and other parties are only afforded the right to void a contract as a last resort measure. Additionally, small businesses can often remedy the non-performance of a contract without having to cancel the contract or take their case to court.
If you need help with remedies for non-performance of contract, you can post your legal need on UpCounsel's marketplace. UpCounsel accepts only the top 5 percent of lawyers to its site. Lawyers on UpCounsel come from law schools such as Harvard Law and Yale Law and average 14 years of legal experience, including work with or on behalf of companies like Google, Menlo Ventures, and Airbnb.

Love live! is a rhythm game that is based on a popular series in Japan and finally released in English! All these songs are sung by their respective voice actors. Players create units of 9 with idol cards they collect. These cards can be leveled up and evolved to form more powerful idols. Some of these cards have different kind of effects like refilling your health bar or give you extra points during your combo's. This game also contains a story mode the more you level up the more story you unlock these cut scenes that reward you with money so you can spend that on leveling up your idols.
Create a Japanese iTunes Account: http://app.steparu.com/guides/app-store-ios - Follow the steps on this website and create your Japanese iTunes account. Once you're done, go on your iPhone or iPad and head to settings, go to the App Store / App and sign in on your Japanese iTunes Account. Your iTunes store should change to the Japanese version.. Once your iTunes has changed to the JP version, head to this link from this post , which should link you too the app itself.. Download the game and have fun.
These are the scores from the previous events. It can help you in the future to see how much you have to strive for to get the top 4500 award / top 900 award.
I do plan on updating this thread regularly for whenever there is a new event or something that has been added.
If you want to see more information or things added to the main thread please comment or PM me and I'll see what I can do in the future.
I hear yeah, I was waiting for a thread of this game as well, but got tired of waiting so I made one. I still have a lot of updating to do though..
I'm currently rank 29 with almost all the N cards bonded up.. just need to get there level caps.. and I only been playing for a week. It's so addicting.
Yeah i like the game, currently lvl 42 almost 43 with full Natsuiro Egao de 1, 2 jump! Set. Dropped this event since i rather wait for Nico, Maki and/or Eli-chi.
I just learned something new today.. Taking a screenshot on my ipad.. I'm proud of myself. I still need to learn how to size down my pictures though.. I'll figure it out eventually.
Hey to help with the pics use the Image Upload instead. That's how I got my images the way they are and I did it using my iPad.
I just noticed that tab haha.. I'll try that thanks. It worked, thanks. Just learned something today.
Wow, I should give this a game a try in the future.
I didn't know about it till a week later I asked someone. I gave it a shot and fell in love with it, because it reminded me of Guitar Hero back in the day instead of the guitar theme we got anime base, u's theme. It's really addicting and fun.. I highly recommend it.
I managed to drop back to what I would consider 'casual,' i.e. burning through my LP once or twice a day. Still enjoying myself, though. Everyone idolized is fully bonded out, I'm just grinding up levels and hoping for new cards at this point.
Can't wait til the next SR event starts (assuming I can get those last 14 LG...), saving love gems gets super dull. I've had fairly good luck with getting Rares from regular scouting lately, but I need some more SR/UR.
Side note: I got a couple of my friends with no interest in idol anime addicted to the game and music. Spreading the gospel.
Too much caffeine to sleep, too little sleep to function.
Watered down is a harsh way to put it. It's just that the International version is a year behind, but with the rate they are doing the events and adding content, we would most likely catch up in less than a year.
I'll post up my details later, however you can say I'm addicted to this little game.

Each year I choose a word to tuck into my heart and carry around with me for the entire year. Some previous words have been wings, connect, love, soar. I never know what the word will bring to me until the year is over. I may have hopes of certain things unfolding but the universe may have different plans in store.
For 2013 I choose a phrase, rather than a word: "all the cards on the table". I wanted to get my act together and do all of those things that I always put off. Like getting the oil in my car changed, going to the dentist, working out, and getting my finances in order. And oh how the universe took me by storm. I have been to the dentist more times this year than I think I have been in my entire life (lesson to you all....go now, do not delay). I have three doctors appointments set up within the next three weeks....oh joy!. My finances may not be in order but Dustin won't stop bugging me until they are. I have developed a routine of working out and I really got into it. And my car burns oil at a rapid pace that I have to stay on top it to ensure it runs properly.
The old adage "be careful what you wish for" is so incredibly true when it comes to choosing your word. So choose wisely.
My word for 2014 felt so right the moment it popped into my head, and not for the obvious reason that Dustin and I are building a house this year but for so much more than that.
This year Dustin and I are setting down a strong foundation for our future together. We are not only building a house, but building a life together.
Build confidence in the work that I meant to do in this world. To believe with every fiber of my being in my purpose and to share it and spread it.
Build community. In person, heart to heart, open, honest, loving, enriching community.
Build deeper, stronger, loving friendships.
Build a stronger body and empowered mind. Overcoming mental and physical obstacles.
This year I want to build the life I am meant to be living.
What word have you chosen to tuck into your pocket this year?


"I bought your book City a couple of years ago and really enjoyed it. I am a high school teacher, specialising in geography and urban geography. I have been inspired by your book to re-create our rather tired urban geography unit, with a move away from a functional/chronological to a more narrative teaching approach. I am loosely basing the structure of the first 7-8 lessons on the chapters of your book with a view to both creating a deeper understanding of the urban environment as well as engaging and inspiring the students with stories about some amazing places - much the same as you do in your book.
Comments like that make all the hard work of writing and research worthwhile. Thanks Neville!

MSM to relieve symptoms of musculoskeletal pain and inflammation
Tuesday, 7 June 2016 | Editor
SIGN UP for free newsletters and make sure you are kept up to date with new health articles (and get 20% of your first order for health supplements).
Have a look at MSM product listing
Earl Mindell, author of the Vitamin Bible says this:
"The sulphur our bodies need is available in animal protein foods such as meats, fish, poultry, eggs and milk. Grains, legumes and fresh, unprocessed vegetables like onions, garlic, cabbage, Brussel sprouts and broccoli contribute lesser amounts of this important mineral. Consequently, vegetarians and other people who may have inadequate intake of protein or those with a higher protein need (growing children, for example) may also lack sufficient sulphur to meet the body's needs.
MSM is neither a medicine nor a drug. It is a member of the sulphur family but should never be confused with sulfa drugs, to which some people are allergic. MSM has been used as a dietary supplement for more than ten years, with no reports of intolerance or allergic reaction. Short, medium and longer-term studies indicate that MSM exhibits very low toxicity no matter how it is administered. How low? Its profile is similar to that of water! Within limits, you cannot overdose with MSM because the body will take and use whatever it needs, and after a 12-hour period, will flush any excess amounts from the body.
Sulphur is highly important. Approximately half of the total body sulphur is concentrated in the muscles, skin and bones. It is present in keratin, the tough substance in the skin, nails and hair. Sulphur is necessary for making collagen, the primary constituent of cartilage and connective tissue.
In conjunction with vitamins and amino acids, MSM provides the body with the necessary raw materials to create healthy new cells. Optimal health is dependent on maintaining the process for producing healthy and flexible cells. It's a 24-hour-a-day job because the body never stops producing new cells. Without proper nutrition, however, the body can run short of the materials it needs. Lacking sufficient MSM, the body is a compromised system, deficient in its ability to repair or replace damaged tissue and organs. The inability of the body to do its work causes it to produce dysfunctional cells which can lead to illness and disease.
The nerves that sense pain are located mainly in the soft tissues of our bodies. Many types of pain can be attributed to pressure differential involving the cells that make up tissue. When outside pressure drops, cells inflate and become inflamed. Nerves register the inflammation and we experience pain symptoms. Did you ever hear of anyone predicting weather changes because of pain they feel in their joints? Often, what contributes to the pain is the lack of flexibility and permeability in the fibrous tissue cells. Use of MSM has been shown to add flexibility to cell walls while allowing fluids to pass through the tissue more easily. This softens the tissue and helps to equalize pressure thereby reducing if not totally eliminating the cause of the pain. This extraordinary property of MSM can help treat a wide variety of conditions that afflict millions of people every day.
It is important to recall that we lose a great deal of MSM in the normal preparation of food, and as a result may be denying our body a critical nutritional tool it needs."
He says he has used MSM successfully to treat more than 18,000 patients with a variety of autoimmune diseases, including rheumatoid arthritis. Here's a look at some of the conditions that benefit from MSM:
MSM and Aches and Pains
MSM may help relieve symptoms of many types of musculoskeletal pain and inflammation, including rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis, says Jacob. In one unpublished study, Ronald M Lawrence, MD, PhD, as assistant clinical professor of medicine at the University of California, Los Angeles, and co-author with Jacob of The Miracle of MSM asked 16 arthritic patients, ages 55 to 78 years, to take either 2250 mg of MSM or a placebo daily. After four months, patients taking MSM reported an overall 82% reduction in pain (compared with an 18% reduction for those taking placebos). Another unpublished study by Lawrence found that MSM reduced pain and other symptoms associated with athletic injuries. MSM's mode of action was partly elucidated in an animal study, which found that MSM reduced joint inflammation and prevented the breakdown of cartilage.
MSM and Skin healing
Doctors with experience of MSM report that scars may fade or disappear, and that burns, bruises, cuts and scrapes are repaired more quickly. Nails, too, become stronger and more flexible and hair is strengthened.
MSM and Dermatitis
Another of her customers used MSM cream on her heels, which were always leathery and cracking. After three to four weeks her heels became much softer. But when she stopped using MSM the condition returned. Now she uses it continually and her heels are better again.
MSM and Sleep Apnea
Pain beneath the skin:
The participants also drank the sulphur-rich water. MSM, a natural source of sulphur, is, of course, widely used by arthritis sufferers in the form of tablets and capsules, but these results suggest that it may also be worth applying MSM in a cream form over painful joints and tissues.
At the International Preventive Medicine Clinic in Sao Paolo, Brazil, Efrain Olszewer, MD and his staff treat many sports-related sprains and tendinitis.
"Usually we have treated these injuries with DMSO (a precursor of MSM), which has always worked very well, but we find we get just as good results with MSM, which works without the DMSO odour (DMSO has an unpleasant sulfurous smell, while MSM has no odour at all". Dr Oslzewer often gives his patients an MSM ointment to apply to the affected area.
"Sprained ankles, elbows, shoulders, tendon injuries and muscle soreness all respond excellently" he reported to Dr Jacob.
These results from the field of sport also suggest that applying MSM to the skin may be helpful for pain and swelling from arthritis and other medical conditions. Although it would always be advisable to take MSM by mouth as well, applying to the skin in addition may help the mineral reach the intended site more quickly.
Earl Mindell says this about MSM and stress:
"While stress is often considered either a mental or psychological problem, it has very real physical effects. You've heard people attribute stress-related symptoms to "nerves", and there's no doubt stress usually affects parts of the body that are related to the nervous system, particularly through the digestive organs. As we learned earlier, use of MSM can be beneficial in many digestive disorders.
"I have a fish story to tell you. One stress study quoted in the literature for MSM involves 50 goldfish in a large aquarium. Half of them were removed and placed in a small aquarium (designated A) and the other 25 were placed in an identical aquarium (designated B). The fish in A were fed regular goldfish food and those in aquarium B received the same food treated with MSM. The fish in both aquariums were then stressed equally by manipulation of their confinement, movement, and temperature range. By day then, 11 fish died in aquarium A but only one went belly-up in the MSM-treated tank."
"Mental normalcy in humans is demonstrated by alertness and an inner calmness that is not subject to sharp mood swings. What literature exists suggests that individuals on MSM generally report increased alertness, a plateau of mood changes, and very infrequent depression. A few subjects taking depression medication observed that MSM relieved their depression within hours rather than days, as had been their prior experience with the antidepression medication. Students report that while on MSM their ability to concentrate is enhanced. The most useful application for MSM seen to date in the field of mental normalizing is as an aid to the terminally ill to relieve anxiety and depression. Try up to 9,000mg per day to start, then taper down to 3,000mg."
MSM is available as 1000mg tablets and as a joint and muscle balm. It's also available as a face cream.

Latest News: Looking for Scotland's most star-studded pub or bar
As a list of famous faces reveal their favourite public houses in Scotland, we are calling on your help to uncover Scotland's most star-studded public house by sharing your stories and pictures of stars that you've spotted in pubs and bars around the country.
Our call comes following the publication of stories on our and app (free to download from iTunes and Google Play) which reveal that a large number of pubs and bars have welcomed famous visitors. Indeed in some of Scotland's licensed premises you may even bump into some A-Listers such as Gerard Butler, James McAvoy, David Tennant, Paolo Nutini, David Beckham or the cast from the hotly anticipated Outlander TV series.
Issuing the call Paul Waterson, Chief Executive of the Scottish Licensed Trade Association, the organisation delivering the initiative in partnership with VisitScotland, Diageo and Tennent Caledonian Breweries, said:
"We would like to discover which of our public houses welcomes the most famous visitors and would like to enlist the help of regular visitors and holiday makers in doing this. People can share their images and stories via our social media networks.
"When visiting one of the many pubs and bars involved with Scotland's Pubs & Bars: A Story to Tell, you never know who you might bump into – from musicians and actors to sportsmen and politicians. Many of our country's pubs and bars treat the stars just like any other customer, laying down the red carpet for all who cross their doors.
"Often we hear stories of famous visitors telling others about the refreshing experience they have in one of the country's great licensed establishments – particularly praising the authentic Scottish hospitality and down to earth welcome they receive."
As well as being a famous actor, Gerard Butler is renowned for being a friendly and approachable man, as many photos taken with him in pubs and bars where he has lunched with friends and family prove. Speaking of one of these experiences in interviews following the Hollywood star's visit to the Drovers' Inn near Loch Lomond, landlord Earnest Strang said: "The place was rocking but Gerry just sat back and enjoyed the company. He loved it and even joined in."
Here's what some other famous names have to say about their favourite pubs: and bars
Paolo Nutini: Earlier this year, in the lead up to a gig for the Sunday Mail Centenary Fund at Scotland's ultimate music pub, King Tut's Wah Wah Hut, singer Paolo Nutini spoke of his excitement at playing at the venue which is most famous for discovering Oasis: "Over the years, we made a habit of going into Tut's and doing our shows, showcasing new music in Scotland there…It's a classic venue – it's the classic venue…Everyone goes into the King Tut's zone and expects a Tut's performance and a Tut's atmosphere."
Billy Boyd: As well as working on some new film projects, Lord of the Rings actor Billy Boyd now fronts the internationally acclaimed indie-rock band Beecake, whose latest album Blue Sky Paradise is out now. He said: "Touring with my band Beecake, we have performed in some of the top music pubs and bars across Scotland – they play an important role in discovering the latest music talent. One of our favourites is King Tut's Wah Wah Hut – even when there's not music on, it still has a great atmosphere and cracking food. An absolute must for any music fans."
GUN's Dante Gizzi: Front man of one of Scotland's most famous rock bands, Dante would also recommend King Tut's Wah Wah Hut. The band play three nights at Tut's for the Sunday Mail's Centenary Fund on November 9, 10 and 11: "It's a place where I've hung out over so many years and has given me so many cherished memories. It almost feels like a home from home and a lot of that is down to the staff who are so welcoming. Tut's will always have a special place in my heart and I gladly recommend it to any visitors to Scotland."
Travis: Also in Glasgow, award-winning Glasgow band Travis honed their skills in The Horse Shoe bar in the mid 90s. The band went on to achieve global success, but never forgot the role the pub played in their careers. They presented the bar with a Gold disc for their album The Man Who; their 1999 Q Award for Best Song (Why Does It Always Rain On Me); and their 2000 Brit Award for Best Band – all of which are prominently placed behind the bar for visitors to see. In an interview with the NME, the band's lead singer Fran Healy, said: "The Horseshoe is the only bar in Glasgow where everyone comes, from the rich to the poor."
Barbara Dickson: Singer Barbara Dickson talked of meeting the famous Gerry Rafferty in the Scotia Bar in Glasgow and singer-songwriter Rab Noakes in Sandy Bells, which both feature on the Story to Tell app. Some of her fondest memories are of her time in Edinburgh's folk clubs and bars: "I remember being so excited by the exposure to lovely music on a regular basis. We lived for the music and would sing at the drop of a hat anywhere where we gathered. We were lucky to gather in these wonderful places."
Proclaimers' Charlie Reid: A regular visitor to the Radical Road Pub in Edinburgh, Charlie said: "Pubs are a vital part of civilised life. They are a great meeting place for locals and visitors alike."
Actor Colin McCready: Elsewhere the Bull Inn in Paisley (an art nouveau pub designed by a student of Charles Rennie Mackintosh) has also welcomed many a famous face from David Tennant to Paolo Nutini. After filming Taggart there, actor Colin McCready said: "The Bull Inn is a great old pub with plenty of character."
Ross McNae, Twin Atlantic – Ross, who plays bass guitar with one of the UK's current leading rock bands Twin Atlantic said: "I would say The Ubiquitous Chip for a traditional Scottish bar, or Drygate Brewery for the future of Scottish brewing! Ubiquitous Chip is on one of the most famous cobbled streets in Glasgow and always has an older gent with a dog in the corner. Drygate Brewery is co-owned by Williams Brothers and Tennent's. Can you get more Scottish than that? Craft beer on a big scale."
Ally McErlaine, Texas/Red Sky July – a founding member of Texas, one of the most successful Scottish bands of all time fronted by Sharleen Spiteri, and now alternative country band Red Sky July, Ally said: "I would recommend Rab Ha's in the Merchant City It's a great place to go for food and for my friends who don't know Glasgow very well it has an amazing whisky selection. It's also one of the cooler places to watch football."
Greg Kane, Hue & Cry: One half of the 80s chart toppers Hue and Cry, Greg said: "My favourite local bar in Glasgow is The Scaramouche – Elderslie Street, Charing Cross. Friendly staff, great food and diverse range of punters make for an entertaining, often long lasting night out! Recommended."

Bloggings on Immigration Update
by Carl Shusterman
Ask an Attorney, Not a Paralegal
This seems pretty obvious, doesn't it?
However, during the past week, I had the opportunity to talk to two different immigrants who are headed for immigration disaster because they relied on the legal advice of a paralegal rather than speaking with an attorney.
Immigration attorneys constantly warn potential clients about the dangers of hiring immigration consultants and notarios instead of hiring experienced attorneys. However, the immigrants that I spoke to did hire law firms, but never got to speak with the attorneys. All of their inquiries were routinely handled by paralegals. Only when they were placed into removal proceedings before an Immigration Judge did the attorneys suddenly take an interest in their cases.
At that point, the immigrants took their business elsewhere.
Please don't get me wrong. In most immigration law firms, especially those which specialize in employment-based immigration, the majority of the day-to-day tasks are performed by paralegals. For example, most of the H-1B, L-1, O-1 and P-1 petitions and PERM applications handled by our law firm are completed by paralegals. And they do a great job.
However, they are supervised by attorneys. And they know enough to refer any legal questions posed by a client to an attorney.
Regrettably, some immigration law firms instruct their paralegals to handle each case from beginning to end, and to respond to all client questions, and not to bother the attorneys.
This is a recipe for disaster, both for the client and for the law firm. While most of our paralegals know far more about USCIS fees, procedures, LCAs and such than Yours Truly, they are not necessarily experts regarding complex legal questions involving section 245i, 245k, criminal convictions, CSPA, etc., etc.
That is where we instruct our paralegals to have our clients to talk one-to-one with an attorney.
This is not rocket science. If you check into a hospital for heart surgery, you want to be operated on by a skilled heart surgeon, not by a registered nurse or a therapist.
The sooner immigrants demand to speak with an attorney when they have a legal question, the sooner the offending attorneys will get with the program. After all, it is their responsibility, their license and their malpractice insurance.
And, of course, not all attorneys are created equal. If you are looking for the best results in your immigration case, you should do some research before you hire a law firm to represent you.
A good place to start is by viewing our video, "How to Select an Immigration Attorney".

John answered them, "I baptize with water, but among you stands one you do not know, even he who comes after me, the strap of whose sandal I am not worthy to untie." These things took place in Bethany across the Jordan, where John was baptizing.
What is a Christian? the function and position of the Church in the modern world; the Church and the State; the function of the Church is to produce Christians; the example of history.


Excellent Development's Communications Manager, Dwain Lucktung, meets Faith Kiio, a Kenyan farmer and mother whose life has been transformed thanks to nearby sand dams that have saved her enduring treacherous and arduous daily trips to get water.
The water itself was not safe, giving periodic cases of diarrhoea, and the lack of water (despite Faith's efforts) meant there was never enough to use and develop her farm.
"We were given new ideas, enabled to do things we could not do before… unlike other NGOs (in this case) we were empowered with skills and knowledge to help ourselves."
Faith Kiio, farmer and mother from the Nathangyu East B community, southeast Kenya.
Then with the support of Excellent, our partners, the Africa Sand Dam Foundation (ASDF) and the UK Government, in 2010 two sand dams were built just 10 minutes from where Faith, her family and her community lived. "The sand dams have made me, my family and my farm, much healthier and happier" Faith said. "We were given new ideas, enabled to do things we could not do before… unlike with other NGOs (in this case), we were empowered with skills and knowledge to help ourselves," she added.
Now with tools and training in farming and how to treat water, there are reduced cases of diarrhoea. Faith's health has improved, no longer taking on the strain from that uphill trip for water. Her four goats and donkey are also stronger, "My animals used to get blisters, and internal complications due to inhaling dust on way to the water point," Faith affirmed.
"The biggest change from the dam is seeing my trees that I planted grow so fast, I had no trees before because there wasn't enough water." Faith's farm is now a sea of green with around 200 trees (grevillea, senna, mango and orange trees). She can now also grow over 50kg of maize, over 50kg of green grams and over 50kg of pigeon peas. Despite being a small farm, that equates to her being able to feed her family, as well as make around 10,000 shillings selling surplus produce in local markets to invest back into her farm. Time to do this is only made possible thanks to the 10 hours per day saved having to fetch water.


While the number of homes listed for sale in San Francisco has ticked down 16 percent since the middle of July with typical seasonality in play, there are 3 percent more homes on the market right now (555) than there were at the same time last year (540) and 39 percent more than in the middle of August back in 2015 (400).
And once again, it's actually an increase in the standing inventory of single-family homes (210) versus condos (345) which is driving the overall rise, with 18 percent more single-family homes on the market today versus the same time last year and 5 percent fewer condos, totals which don't include the vast majority of new construction condos for sale across the city (the inventory of which has been hovering around 550 with the recent opening of the sales office for The Avery).
We'll note that the average list price per square foot of all the San Francisco homes that are currently in contract has just dropped below $900 for the first time this year versus an average of closed to $930 per listed square foot in the first half of 2018. And if typical seasonality patterns hold, expect new listings and inventory levels to jump in September.
Looking to buy a Little Brewery in San Francisco?
It would be great if @SocketSite could provide data going back to a few more years ('02/'03/'04 etc.) so that readers could see what the run-up to the big '08/'09/'10/'11 numbers looked like previously. Additionally, some info about the trend-lines (some sort of weighted rolling average I assume?) would be helpful. The trend-lines show a sharp inflection that it doesn't seem like '17/'18 are carrying out.
inventory similar to 2012 and lower than 2016. remember what happened 2012 to 2016. are we on the next leg up?
Curious to hear what people think about single-family homes driving the overall rise. Why? What can this be telling us? Or is leaving out new development condo counts causing the diff?
Our counts are apples-to-apples. But a pullback in new condo pricing and values has hurt the market for attempted flips and extended the required hold for units purchased over the past couple of years to exit without a loss.
So then are you claiming the market top is in and the lack of condo inventory is due to frothy flippers finding themselves underwater? Condos tend to leas the market South.
What are your smoothed lines supposed to show? How come they are spiking higher than the bar charts of inventory? In, securities markets, one would expect to see moving averages based on trailing market data. But in this case, the smoothed lines are moving up faster than the bar charts of what I assumed were the category-specific inventory. So what are the smoothed lines showing?
It appears to be a trigonometric smoothing…a sine of the times, as it were.
It appears to be devoid of meaning, like that symbol that was Prince's name for a while.
A sign of these times.
8 dark, 4 light, August is month 8? Dark=Year to Date, Light=Future months???
Smoothing some sort of YoY/Adjustment for typical inventory that month of the year???
What is the orange dotted line?
It looks like we're about a year away from the beginning of the next glut. It looks like the trend lines are very steep upward at the moment. Are prices going to flatten? Drop?


Mesos has its own container runtime (aka. UCR) and companies have been using it for years in production. Based on the pure Linux Kernel namespaces and cgroups, Mesos supports different container image formats with advantages of extensible container storage, networking, and security. As of today it supports all major container standards, such as CSI, CNI and OCI soon.
In the past one year, there are a lot of accomplishments in Mesos Containerization. For instances, Linux ambient capabilities, File-based secret with the new secret resolver module, Cgroup Blkio Isolation, Automatic Container Image GC, Standalone Container, Windows Support improvement, Persistent Volume Resizing, and many other fantastic new features. In this talk, we will review the achievements in Containerization and discuss the future of Mesos Containerization.

Hershey's will initiate a formal agency review for the company's U.S. media across its iconic confectionery brands. The agency review will be by invitation-only and all incumbent agencies are invited to participate in the process.
The review will include an evaluation of all paid media, including linear, digital, social, programmatic and retailer, for Hershey's U.S. candy, mint and gum (CMG) business. This review will not include media for Hershey-owned Amplify Foods and ONE brands or Hershey's international markets.
As the world and media industry are in the midst of significant and rapid changes, this review will allow Hershey to continue to invest across all media channels while looking for the best partners who will complement and enhance Hershey's internal media capabilities.

Andrea Mercado and Kate Sheehan have both written insightful posts about the importance of librarians being aware of the culture of the social technologies they're getting involved in for outreach purposes.
It's easy to become enamored of social networking sites and Web 2.0 toys to the point where they seem like a panacea for everything that's wrong with your library or your job. Slap a wiki on it and call me in the morning. The most successful uses of the newest tech tools have recognized that they're just that: tools. Midwinter has me revising that to add they're tools with their own cultures.
Whenever I speak on the topic of social software, I emphasize culture. How and why a specific audience uses something is more important than how you want to apply it, essentially. Case in point is the session I blogged from Saturday morning for PLA on social networking and reference. In their efforts to perform "outreach," librarians thought it was a good idea to try to figure out how to get around Facebook's built-in messaging system… which was trying to prevent them from essentially spamming Facebook users. People who understand Facebook's user culture know that this is *bad* and it shouldn't be done, but these librarians thought they were doing a good, clever thing by trying to circumvent the system.
librarians need to study the fine art of anthropology when it comes to social networking. That's the true key to user-centered design in the library world: it doesn't start with us and our wants and needs, it starts with them.
Yes! It's so critical that we understand these tools, how they are used, and how they are viewed by the people using them before we start building presence and friending our patrons. And it's not only about understanding social networking. It's also about understanding our own unique population. Where one library's population may be perfectly comfortable with the library friending them in MySpace, another library's population would be horrified. We need to understand not only our users' needs and wants, but also how they approach these tools, what sort of sense of privacy they have, and what sort of interactions they might want from the library. It's so easy to get tunnel vision or to see one library who has implemented a social technology successfully and to think that you can just do the same at your library. It's so dependent on your population and your understanding of the culture of the technologies.
Some important things to think about. Thank you for bringing them to our attention, its good to have a remind that it is still about the patrons and what they want.
That's why we need to rethink assessment.
You are absolutely right. For example, my library bans facebook, myspace and youtube because we are a private religious oriented business school and they feel that these things are not appropriate.
I am a new teacher=librarian in a high school and I am overwhelmed by the amount of focus on web 2.0 tools. Is this amount of attention greeted other new technologies? How can we pace ourselves and help the people we are serving do the same?
Stacy, I think the key is always to keep the focus on YOUR patrons' needs and wants. We should be aware of the technologies out there that libraries are using to serve patrons, but we should only employ those that are needed, wanted and will benefit our patrons.
I'm a big fan of social software, but I've employed it very sparingly at my library and only in places where it really made sense to do so based on an understanding of the tool and of my patrons.

Bean sprouts contain an amazing amount of nutrients. When beans sprout, the vitamins, minerals and protein increase substantially and the calories and carbohydrate contents decrease. Sprouting beans increases the digestive enzymes which facilitate the digestion process of your body. Bean sprouts are wonderful in salads as they provide a crisp texture, adding a certain freshness. They are also wonderful on salads, served with all kinds of food and even blended in smoothies or baked in bread. Bean sprouts are also perfect as a light snack. Mung beans are the most popular beans for sprouting although all kinds of beans can be sprouted. Other popular sprouts are aduki beans, chickpeas, soy beans, alfalfa and barley. Ensure that the beans you are using are new and organic. The more 'alive' the beans are (as opposed to old and non-organic beans) the better success you will have.

[PRESS RELEASE] Hubdoc partners with Fujitsu to help accountants automate their document and data capture
ScanSnap Cloud and iX1500 integration enables one touch scanning and destination management
Hayes, UK, November 14, 2018 – PFU (EMEA) Limited, a Fujitsu company, the world's leading scanner manufacturer, today announced it has partnered with international cloud bookkeeping solutions provider Hubdoc to enable accountants and bookkeepers to digitise and process large volumes of financial documents quickly and efficiently. Incorporating the ScanSnap iX1500 document scanner and ScanSnap Cloud, Hubdoc enables users to easily scan and access documents from anywhere.
With partnerships already in place in North America and Australia, Hubdoc chose to expand the partnership into the UK. Hubdoc helps accountants, bookkeepers, and small businesses streamline administrative bookkeeping tasks such as financial document collection and data entry. The combined power of Hubdoc and ScanSnap introduces another way for advisors to collect and digitise paper documents from their clients, saving them a tremendous amount of time.
Launched in early October, the ScanSnap iX1500 is a new personal document scanner designed to offer a smarter way to work. Incorporating one touch technology, the iX1500 enables users to carry out pre-programmed scans, and can recognise different document types, sending them to the preferred destination, including Hubdoc, with one touch.

"We're firm believers in the power of the cloud accounting ecosystem, and the value it provides to customers. We aim to build products and integrations to make bookkeeping easier, this partnership gets us one step closer to that goal."
"Accountancy is traditionally a paper-heavy business, and mistakes from mis-filing can be costly, so it's important that bookkeepers have solutions that will enable them to accurately manage and reconcile their clients' accounts," explains Mike Nelson, Senior Vice President, PFU (EMEA) Limited. "By expanding our partnership with Hubdoc, we're helping accountants in the UK to maximise the time they spend on servicing clients, instead of wasting it sorting through paperwork."

Gambling can be fun and exciting, but the bulk of us do not have any good casinos locally. Luckily for the bulk of us, there are plenty of places we can play recreational online. What this means is that we need not travel hundreds of miles to find a best casino that meet our needs. Instead, there are literally hundreds of places that allow starting playing best online casino games now.
There are many different types of best online casino games. Some need the users to sign up, login and download software. This might seem somewhat long winded, but the reality is that this is where consumers are likely to experience the highest quality games. The software that needs to be downloaded usually has higher stipulation in terms of features and they work a lot quicker than the flash based software.
For people that want to start playing best new online casino site instantly, then the online casinos that offer games that they do not need to download are likely to be much more appropriate. Generally they used a Flash or Java Script base, which means that the class is still high in terms of game play.
The problem with Flash and Java Script based games in comparison to downloadable games is sometimes they get overrun with players. The more players that play, generally the slower the best game will run. In fact, in some instances the game strength freeze all together and the player will lose connection completely. They will not lose their money, but this can be extremely disappointed.
Gambling online by playing best online casino games can actually save players money. The reality is that by playing quickly for leisure purposes, the rewards can be huge, but the risks are enormously small. Instead of gathering all our investments together to make the big trip to the best casino, players can log online and start playing with a few pounds in some cases, and have just as much fun.
Land based casinos have a huge player database. This means that they do not really need to promote their businesses in a massive way, as players arrive at their door anyway. The great thing about playing best online casino games is that these web based gaming outlets constantly offer promotions.
Play best online casino games to get a new gaming experience but always remember to play with caution. Always use a leading UK casino to make sure your are safe and secure when playing best online casino games.

§ 270.22c-1 Pricing of redeemable securities for distribution, redemption and repurchase.
17 CFR § 270.22c-1 - Pricing of redeemable securities for distribution, redemption and repurchase.
(a) No registered investment company issuing any redeemable security, no person designated in such issuer's prospectus as authorized to consummate transactions in any such security, and no principal underwriter of, or dealer in, any such security shall sell, redeem, or repurchase any such security except at a price based on the current net asset value of such security which is next computed after receipt of a tender of such security for redemption or of an order to purchase or sell such security: Provided, That:
(1) This paragraph shall not prevent a sponsor of a unit investment trust (hereinafter referred to as the "Trust") engaged exclusively in the business of investing in eligible trust securities (as defined in Rule 14a-3(b) (17 CFR 270.14a-3(b))) from selling or repurchasing Trust units in a secondary market at a price based on the offering side evaluation of the eligible trust securities in the Trust's portfolio, determined at any time on the last business day of each week, effective for all sales made during the following week, if on the days that such sales or repurchases are made the sponsor receives a letter from a qualified evaluator stating, in its opinion, that:
(i) In the case of repurchases, the current bid price is not higher than the offering side evaluation, computed on the last business day of the previous week; and
(ii) In the case of resales, the offering side evaluation, computed as of the last business day of the previous week, is not more than one-half of one percent ($5.00 on a unit representing $1,000 principal amount of eligible trust securities) greater than the current offering price.
(2) This paragraph shall not prevent any registered investment company from adjusting the price of its redeemable securities sold pursuant to a merger, consolidation or purchase of substantially all of the assets of a company which meets the conditions specified in § 270.17a-8.
(3) Notwithstanding this paragraph (a), a registered open-end management investment company (but not a registered open-end management investment company that is regulated as a money market fund under § 270.2a-7 or an exchange-traded fund as defined in paragraph (a)(3)(v)(A) of this section) (a "fund") may use swing pricing to adjust its current net asset value per share to mitigate dilution of the value of its outstanding redeemable securities as a result of shareholder purchase or redemption activity, provided that it has established and implemented swing pricing policies and procedures in compliance with the paragraphs (a)(3)(i) through (v) of this section.
(i) The fund's swing pricing policies and procedures must:
(A) Provide that the fund must adjust its net asset value per share by a single swing factor or multiple factors that may vary based on the swing threshold(s) crossed once the level of net purchases into or net redemptions from such fund has exceeded the applicable swing threshold for the fund. In determining whether the fund's level of net purchases or net redemptions has exceeded the applicable swing threshold(s), the person(s) responsible for administering swing pricing shall be permitted to make such determination based on receipt of sufficient information about the fund investors' daily purchase and redemption activity ("investor flow") to allow the fund to reasonably estimate whether it has crossed the swing threshold(s) with high confidence, and shall exclude any purchases or redemptions that are made in kind and not in cash. This investor flow information may consist of individual, aggregated, or netted orders, and may include reasonable estimates where necessary.
(B) Specify the process for how the fund's swing threshold(s) shall be determined, considering:
(1) The size, frequency, and volatility of historical net purchases or net redemptions of fund shares during normal and stressed periods;
(2) The fund's investment strategy and the liquidity of the fund's portfolio investments;
(3) The fund's holdings of cash and cash equivalents, and borrowing arrangements and other funding sources; and

If it didn't, don't be discouraged; having your website appear in the search engine results is (sadly) not something that happens overnight. And just because your website does not appear in search engine results does not mean your website is not online! It means your website simply hasn't been indexed by the search engines yet. Type your URL (example: www.mywebsite.com or www.myname.SimpleSite.com.tr) directly into the address bar of your browser instead of into Google or Bing, and your website will appear on your screen.
Getting a high ranking (showing up in the top results of a search) takes a good deal of work and often patience. In fact, there's a whole concept called search engine optimization (also known as SEO), which consists solely of guidelines and tactics to have your website appear in the results. Optimizing your website so it adheres to these guidelines can positively affect how frequently and how high you appear in search engine results.
The more successful these guidelines known as ranking factors are, the higher your website will appear when you type it into a search engine. In general, internet marketers and other people who work with SEO professionally assume that Google makes use of 200 ranking factors. The following comprehensive list is worth a read if you would like to know more about Google's 200 ranking factors.
Instead of going into every single one of these ranking factors, SimpleSite would like to provide its users with some basic SEO tips they can instantly apply to their websites. These tips do not guarantee a number one spot in the results of search engines, but they will ensure that your website is more likely to be spotted by Google and Bing, and ranked higher as a result.
When you want to find something on the internet and you make use of a search engine, you begin by typing in what it is you are searching for. What you type in is commonly known as keywords or key phrases. These key words are what you want to keep in mind as you optimize your website. What key words do you think people would use to find a topic, product or service such as the one you have on your website? Use your menu titles, page titles and the text content on your webpages to help search engines figure out what your website is about. Take great care in not overdoing it! Repeating keywords too many times all over your website is also known as keyword stuffing, and is generally seen as baiting search engines in trying to rank your website higher. This may work temporarily, but if Google and Bing catch on to this practice, your website will be penalized and ranked much lower (page 10 or lower) at best. At worst, your website may be banned entirely from search engines.
Instead, use your keywords where it seems natural to do so. A good way to use it is in the title of your page, and then mention it once or twice in the text. Try to use synonyms as well, as search engines look favorably on this and will be able to make the connection.
If you plan on registering a domain name for your website, try to make it short and easy to remember. Search engines have a tendency to rank domain names that are short, unique and relevant better. The age of a domain name is also an SEO ranking factor. This means that when you register a domain name it's entirely new and does not have as much authority as an older domain name that's been around on the internet for some time.
If you already own a domain name, we therefore recommend that you transfer that domain to your website with us instead of registering a new one. The same goes for your website age; entirely new websites will not rank as high as websites that have been around a while.
Lastly, you can consider placing a keyword in your domain name; this is another way to signal the relevancy of your website to search engines.
Search engines pay special attention to people linking to a website. Think of each link to your website as a vote of approval. Each link is telling search engines, "Hey, this website is interesting and relevant! Perhaps it should be reconsidered and ranked higher for this topic." This does not mean that more links is better. For example, if you go into blog posts and forums and post a hundred links to your website, that will not be nearly as important or powerful as one single link from a website with a topic similar to yours. When it comes to links to your website, it's about quality, not quantity.
Even so, if your website is entirely new, it can benefit from getting a quick boost from links so search engines notice it. Try to find people with similar topics, services or products and see if they'd be interested in linking to your website. Ask friends and family to write about and link to your website on their own websites, their Facebook profiles, their Twitter feed, and so on. Being noticed and discussed on social media can also be beneficial to your ranking on Google. For this purpose, you can use our social sharing options on the right-hand side of your website and share webpages on Facebook, Twitter and Google Plus.
Following these tips should help your website appear higher in search engines for the keywords you choose to focus on. Even so, these are only the tip of the SEO iceberg.
Search results will also depend on how many other websites are similar to yours and what you offer, how old your website is, how often you update your website, and so on. Search engines go through websites and adjust their search results constantly – you may see your website appear on page 1 for a search term one day, and then drop to page 2 or 3 the next day.
SEO requires constant work on your website so that it remains relevant and of high quality to people searching for terms that apply to your website's topic, service or product. SEO is also a slow process; it can take weeks, even months, to start to see improvements. However, if you start by following the above tips and keep your website up-to-date, you'll be actively improving your results in the major search engines.

What Is Wrong At Real Madrid?


Major digital distributors Direct2Drive, GamersGate and Impulse have refused to stock Infinity Ward's highly anticipated shooter Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 on PC due to its reliance upon Valve Software's rival distribution platform Steam, Voodoo Extreme reports.
"We believe strongly that when you buy a game from us, you shouldn't be forced to install and run a 3rd party software client to be able to play the game you purchased," D2D explains in a statement masquerading as a listing for Modern Warfare 2 in its store. A representative later told Kotaku "We don't believe games should force the user to install a Trojan Horse."
Modern Warfare 2 on PC will use Steam and Valve's Steamworks framework for DRM purposes as well auto-update, achievement and anti-cheat features, among others.
However, both Direct2Drive and GamersGate sell ACE Team's Zeno Clash--which requires Steam. D2D also offers several other Steam-based titles, including Empire: Total War and Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War 2.
"We share some of the same concerns as Direct2Drive over the bundling of the Steam client with the game," Impulse told Voodoo Extreme. "The most obvious issue is the forced inclusion of a competitor's store that blocks us from carrying the game."
This latest Modern Warfare 2 upset comes hot on the heels of controversies over a terrorist sequence and the fact that the PC version will not support dedicated servers.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 is expected to be one of the biggest titles of the year when it arrives for PC, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 on November 10, with retailer GameStop reporting that pre-orders are "the highest for any title we've ever sold."
I would never buy this game because of the setting but goddamn am I not being entertained by the shitstorm it is causing.
What is so objectionable about the setting?
Real world situations aren't my thing. I prefer space marines, zombies, dwarves and elves, unicorns and rainbows. I play games for fantastical worlds. Not saying it is bad just not my cup of joe.
Shadowrun type stuff isn't too far from it.
