Patara Journal; A Congress, Buried in the Sand, Inspired One on a Hill
By RICHARD BERNSTEIN SEPT. 19, 2005
Correction Appended
PATARA, Turkey - Alexander the Great was here, and so was Saint Paul, on his way to Ephesus.
Centuries later, the drafters of the American Constitution took the ancient Lycian League, which was based here, as an early example -- in fact, it was history's earliest example -- of the form of republican government they envisaged as well.
The Lycian League was mentioned twice in the Federalist Papers, once by Alexander Hamilton, once by James Madison, so it could safely be said that it entered into the history of the formation of the United States.
Now, after centuries of neglect, teams of Turkish and German archaeologists have been working under the hot sun of this small Mediterranean seacoast town, uncovering some of its treasures.
Among them, liberated from the many hundreds of truckloads of sand that covered it, is the actual parliament building where the elected representatives of the Lycian League met. It has rows of stone seats arranged in a semicircle, the same arrangement used in the chambers of the American Congress. Its stone-vaulted main entrances are intact, and so is the thronelike perch where the elected Lyciarch, the effective president of the League, sat.
The discovery has excited the archaeologists, and some others as well.
"It blew my mind to find out that the parliament building of the first federation in history, which served as an inspiration for the framers our own Constitution, was being excavated 15 minutes from my house on the Mediterranean coast of Turkey," said Stephen J. Solarz, the former congressman from Brooklyn.
Like a few hundred other foreigners who are attracted to this relatively undiscovered spot of turquoise waters, rocky coves and cerulean skies, Mr. Solarz and his wife, Nina, built a house in town nearby and spend a couple of months of the year there. They have become informal patrons of the archaeological project, and hope to persuade the United States Congress to sponsor a celebration here in 2007, the 220th anniversary of the framing of the American Constitution.
But other things make Patara important besides the inadvertent role it played in the creation of the United States. It is often said of Turkey that it has more Greek ruins than Greece. But Patara is a Greek ruin, a Roman one and a Byzantine one as well, which is what makes the site, buried in sand for centuries, an important newcomer to the Turkish archaeological scene, likely to take its place alongside Troy, Pergamon or Ephesus as one of the most important ones.
"It's very exciting," said Fahri Isik, a professor of archaeology from Akdeniz University in Antalya who is in charge of the dig. In fact, Mr. Isik is hopeful that further excavations will not only increase knowledge of the Lycian League but also help illuminate what are often referred to as the "dark ages" of early Mediterranean history, the 12th to the 8th centuries B.C., about which very little is known.
"It's nice to have beautiful buildings," he said, drinking mint tea a few hundred yards from the ancient Patara parliament, "but we hope that we'll be able to learn some new things as well."
Mentioned in the "Iliad," Patara was a port city that was used by the Persians in the fifth century B.C. during the Persian Wars, written about by Thucydides. One of the archaeological expedition's major findings so far is the impressive ruins of an ancient lighthouse, which guided ships crossing the wine-dark sea to harbor two millennia ago.
The Lycian League itself had some 23 known city-states as members, which sent one, two or three representatives, depending on the city's size, to the parliament, or Bouleuterion, as it was called. Inscriptions recently uncovered at the site provide the names of the various Lyciarchs who sat in special seats about midway up the semicircular chamber.
Later, Lycia was a province in the Roman Empire. An inscription uncovered by archaeologists at the ruins of an immense granary, which has also been dug out of the sand in recent times, indicates that the Emperor Hadrian and his wife, Sabine, visited Patara in the spring of 131 A.D. Lycia ceased being a federation in the fourth century A.D., when it was taken over by the Byzantines.
"The whole of international life was here, both in the Roman times and in the time of the Lycian Federation," said Joachim Ganzert, a professor of architectural history from Hanover University who, with a team of German students, worked all summer in Patara.
"It will have a similar importance to Ephesus and Pergamon, but the work here has only been going on for 15 years," he said. "In Pergamon, they recently celebrated the 110th anniversary of the start of the excavation."
Though Patara has been visited by archaeologists for 200 or more years, a serious, painstaking excavation of the site started only recently, partly because it is an especially difficult place, afflicted with shifting sands, vegetation that runs riot in the fall rainy season and water that seeps in from the nearby Mediterranean. Money is also needed, most urgently to preserve the many stone inscriptions that, no longer buried by sand, face the danger of erosion.
But now trucks go to and from Patara, carrying sand away -- 5,000 truckloads from the lighthouse alone -- and cranes lift immense carved stone blocks out of the ruins so they can be labeled, studied and eventually put back into place in reconstructions of the ancient buildings.
"You couldn't see anything here in the 1980's, only the tops of a few stones," Gül Isin, an archaeologist from Akdeniz University. The town itself, with just a few modest guesthouses, is largely isolated from the hustle-bustle of the nearby Turkish coast, even though it is home to a pristine white-sand beach.
"But we've made a lot of progress," Ms. Isin said. An impressive necropolis, a Roman bath, a large semicircular theater, a broad main avenue leading to the agora, or market square, a Byzantine basilica (one of 22 churches that were once in Patara) and a fortified wall have been largely rescued from the sand and scrub brush so far.
Of course, there is also the parliament building, linking this dusty place to the United States, 7,000 miles away and 1,800 years into the future.
Correction: September 22, 2005, Thursday The Patara Journal article on Monday, about an archaeological excavation of the Lycian League parliament building in Patara, Turkey, referred incorrectly to the ancient Greek historian who wrote "The Persian Wars," which mentions Patara as a port used by the Persians in the fifth century B.C. He was Herodotus, not Thucydides. The article also misspelled the name of the wife of the Roman emperor Hadrian, who accompanied him to Patara in the spring of A.D. 131, according to evidence uncovered at the excavation site. She was Sabina, not Sabine.

Which is the life expectancy of a shipping container?
Container ships get bigger: Potential for catastrophe?
The type of insurance you get for your business is a big deal. When you think about the different policies, companies and coverage, sometimes it can get hard to make the right decision. Luckily for you, in International Container Insurance we´ve got your back! We have 5 great tips that you should consider before getting insurance.


In January 2016 Suzanne decided that it was time to leave her management accounting role in the Insurance Industry and pursue a passion for helping people as a holistic therapist. After experiencing the benefits of Kinesology for herself, Suzanne decided to help others bring their body back into balance, allowing them to boost their energy, revitalise their body and feel great again.
It didn't start out as a business decision, I wanted to pursue my interest and knowledge with health kinesology as it fascinated me, the whole concept of talking to your arm! It snowballed from that. Eighteen months on and I'm increasingly business focused and it's growing.
The women that I meet, who are all at different stages of progress in their business. It makes me realise that I can do it. Everybody's out there trying their damnest to do their best and succeed on their own terms.
Best piece of advice you have given or have received?
I was told by another therapist it would take three years to build up a client base. This gave me a rule of thumb to work to, knowing that it took time to build up a client referring sustainable business. I'm half way there and it keeps me going. I'm also a fatalist, you bump into people at the time you need to bump into them.
What's your must read book or resource?
I like two different genres, I like to immerse myself in fantasy books, like the Twilight series which I find easy to read and take me away from reality. I also enjoy personal development books; I've read two books recently which are One Big Thing by Phil Cooke and The Big Leap by Gay Hendricks, both about getting the best out of yourself. Both are slim books that didn't take long to read but the contents really made me sit up and think.
Do you have a go to look or outfit for work?
My style has changed a lot, it varies now depending on my mood. Previously it was mix and match trousers and jackets which created quite similar outfits. Nowadays, I continue to wear trousers for practicality as I move around a lot during treatments. I team the trousers with a smart jacket, a blouse or a cardigan, as I don't feel dressed otherwise! I usually wear a scarf to finish the outfit.
Both, which is a bit mad! Paper for when I'm with client's and digital for on the go so I can check what I'm meant to be doing!
Favourite way to de-stress and chill?
Being with friends or reading.
Do you have a secret passion or hobby?
I love walking and connecting back to the world. We're so lucky to live in such a beautiful part of the country.
It varies so much! I love cities and the buzz, I try to spend a lot of time in London; ideally I'd like to spend two or three days a month there if a could.
What one 'bucket list' thing would you love to do this year?
Three things you'd take on a desert island?
A desert island cookbook- 1001 ways to eat coconuts or something! A radio to connect with the outside world if you wanted to and/or something to listen to or play music on.
What's the best bargain in your wardrobe?
Over the years, shoes. I love shoes! I a pair from Majorca with the girls about 20 years ago [on the right]. I thought they were fabulous! But they were a bit ridiculous as I kept tripping over the pointy ends! Probably time to let them go.
Most treasured or oldest item in your wardrobe?
I bought a fab belt with a rhinestone buckle on it [on the right]. The leather belt it was attached to has since disintegrated but I love it and can't bear to part with it!
I've got a formal ladies dinner go to next week, I bought a jacket in royal blue, bright red and black stripes. I just need to find a little top to sit underneath it.
Some winter trousers, preferably not in black!
According to my husband too many! Probably about 15- 20. I told my husband it's like have different spanners for different jobs, you need shoes for different occassions!
Thank you Suzanne! You can find out more about Suzanne and how she can help revitalise your energy on her Facebook page or website.

Province to get share of electricity sales from 5 power firms
AS SOON as the trust fund accounts are ready, five energy-generating companies may start remitting shares from total electricity sales directly to the Cebu Provincial Government.
Gov. Gwendolyn Garcia on Thursday, Nov. 28, 2019, signed a memorandum of agreement (MOA) with power firm executives to allow the Province to directly take its share of total electricity sales from the First Toledo Solar Energy Corp., Korea Electric Power Corp., Bantayan Island Power Corp., Global Business Power Corp. and Aboitiz Power Corp.
The move came after the Provincial Board authorized the governor to enter into a MOA with the energy firms for and on behalf of the Capitol.
A resolution on the matter was approved during the body's second out-of-town regular session in San Francisco town, Camotes on Nov. 25.
"We hope this MOA signing will ease up and put in a more efficient manner of collection of share of the Province," Garcia said in a Sugbo News report.
Provincial Treasurer Roy Salubre assured that the trust fund accounts will be ready by Tuesday, Dec. 3.
After the MOA signing, Garcia questioned officials of the Department of Energy (DOE) 7 for allegedly asking the Capitol to submit an annual work plan (AWP) before it can start accepting its shares.
DOE 7 Officer-in-charge Jose Rey Maleza had written a letter to the governor on the matter.
Garcia said it would be difficult for the Province to formulate an AWP since it has yet to determine how much it will receive from the power-generating firms.
The DOE, she added, also has yet to compute how much it needs to remit to the Capitol from shares accrued in the past years.
"Do not make us plead for it," Garcia said.
On Aug. 7, 2018, the DOE issued Circular 2018-08-0021, which amends the implementing rules and regulations of Rule 29 (a) of the Electric Power Industry Reform Act of 2001. The circular follows Section 5 (i) of Republic Act 7638 (Department of Energy Act of 1992). The law mandates the DOE to devise ways and means of giving direct benefits to the province, city or municipality, especially the community and people affected and equitable and preferential to the region that hosts the energy resource and or energy-generating facility.
Section 6 of the circular states that the financial benefit shall be allocated in the following manner: 25 percent of one centavo per kilowatt-hour (kwh) for development and livelihood fund (DLF); and 25 percent of P0.0025/kWh for reforestation, watershed management, health and for environment enhancement fund (RWMHEEF).
The DLF and RWMHEEF shall be allocated in the following manner: community and people affected (five percent), host barangays (20 percent), host municipalities or cities (35 percent), host provinces (30 percent), host indigenous cultural communities/indigenous peoples (five percent) and host region (five percent). (RTF)

Q: Solving a complex number polynomial equation problem If $z=(3+7i)(p+iq)$ where $p,q\in I-{\{0\}}$, is purely imaginary then what is the minimum value of $|z^2|$.
I tried to solve it by multiplying the 2 equations i.e. $z=3p+3iq+7ip+7i^2q$. Then $z=(3p-7q)+i(7p+3q)$.
Then,$|z^2|=z \bar z$
$\bar z =(3p-7q)-i(7p+3q)$. Also since $z$ is purely imaginary then $(3p-7q)=0$. Thus $p=\frac73q$.
Hence $|z|^2=9p^2+49q^2-42pq+1(9q^2+49p^2+42pq)$.
So $|z|^2=18p^2+98q^2$.
$|z|^2=18(\frac73q)^2+98q^2$.
$=196 q^2$. After this I don't how to proceed. The answer is $3364$.

A: I believe what you're after is the minimum value of $|z|^2=z\bar{z}$, not the minimum value of $|z^2|=\sqrt{\text{Re}^2(z^2)+\text{Im}^2(z^2)}$. I will assume that this is the case.
As you mentioned in your original post, $z=3p+7ip+3iq-7q$. If $p,q\in\mathbb{I}\backslash\{0\}$, then $\text{Re}(z)=7ip+3iq$ and $\text{Im}(z)=3p-7q$, whereby $\bar{z}=7ip+3iq-3p+7q$. I'll let you carry on from here.
It seems odd that $p$ and $q$ would be imaginary, though. Usually, in these problems, any given parameters are real (or sometimes complex, but usually not if one of them is multiplied by $i$).
Edit (because I can't comment yet due to low reputation): As per your answer, it seems to me that you miswrote something in your original post. Given your equation relating $p$ and $q$, I imagine you meant to say that $p,q\in\mathbb{R}\backslash\{0\}$. If this is the case, then, indeed, $3p=7q$ if $z\in\mathbb{I}$. Also, unless $p$ and $q$ must also be integers, the lower bound for $|z|^2$ is $0$, since I can make $q$ (and therefore $p$) as small as I like without ever reaching $q=0$. I think you should mention that $p,q\in\mathbb{Z}\backslash\{0\}$ or, if they must also be positive, $p,q\in\mathbb{N}$.

A: I got it now.Thanks for your answers.I can do it like $z = (3p – 7q) + i(3q + 7p)$
.For purely imaginary $3p = 7q$
$p = 7 or q = 3$ (for least value)
Hence $|z| = |3 + 7i| |p + iq|.|z|^2
 = 58(p^2
 + q^2
) = 58[72
 + 9] = 58^2=3364$

Q: How to improve unit test migration setup with Django? I have created a Django project, which has more than 150 migration files. While running the unit tests, the setup itself is very much time consuming because Django first drops the database and creates a new test database and runs all migrations.
I have tried using --keepdb flag, but with this approach the problem is that ensuring the base setup is clean is not guaranteed.
One approach I can think of is using the --keepdb flag along with 2 additional steps-

*

*Before starting test, drop database, re-create from a database dump. Which will be way faster than running the migrations

*Run tests with --keepdb flag
Is there any other approach we can take to reduce the total setup time?

A: If you're using pytest-django, you may use --no-migrations flag to disable migrations. pytest will try to inspect the models and create database on that basis.
See pytest-django-documentation for more details.
If you're using the inbuilt django's test command, you can add a setting to disable migrations.
# settings.py

class DisableMigrations:
    def __contains__(self, item):
        return True

    def __getitem__(self, item):
        return 'notmigrations'

MIGRATION_MODULES = DisableMigrations()

The above suggestion for on django's test-suite is based on NotSqrt's gist.

Q: Acces denied - obtain properties of file? I'm running a program to list info of all files stored in folder.
I want to obtain properties of a file (the most important for me is file size, but i would like to get also other properties, like date of modification, etc.).
My problem is when I get to the file which is actually used by another program, I can't get BasicFileAtrributtes of file. I've tried to use File, URL, RandomFileAcces, but all of these requiese to open a file, and throw Exception like:
java.io.FileNotFoundException: C:\pagefile.sys (Access is denied)
Is there any option in java to obtain this properties? I prefer not to use any extra libraries, to keep small size of the application.
App is based on java JRE7.
I'm using java.nio.file.SimpleFileVisitor to visit all the files.
Here is fragment of my code, where I got the error:
@Override
public FileVisitResult visitFileFailed(Path file, IOException exc){
    FileInfo temp=new FileInfo(new FileInfo().repairName(file.toString()));
    temp.isLeaf=true;
    temp.fName=temp.fName.replace(strIn, "");
    File fis=null;
    try {
            fis=new File(file.toAbsolutePath().toString());
            if(fis.exists())
                System.out.println("exists");
            if(fis.isFile())
                System.out.println("isFile");
            System.out.println(file.toAbsolutePath().toString());
            temp.fSize=new BigInteger(new Long(fis.length()).toString());
    } catch(Exception e){
        e.printStackTrace();
    }

    node.add(temp, true);

    FileListCreator.jProgressBar.setValue(++count);
    return CONTINUE;
}

A: This works just fine for me:
File temp = new File("c:\\pagefile.sys");
System.err.println(temp.length());
System.err.println(temp.lastModified());

A: If the method java.io.File.exists() returns false, and the file C:\pagefile.sys exists in your file system, you specified the incorrect file path then.
The following code works on my machine:
package q10025482;

import java.io.File;

public class TestFile {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        String fileName = "C:/System Volume Information";//"C:/pagefile.sys"
        File file = new File(fileName);
        System.out.println("\nFile " + file.getAbsolutePath() + " info:");
        System.out.println("Exists: " + file.exists());
        System.out.println("Is file: " + file.isFile());
        System.out.println("Is dir: " + file.isDirectory());
        System.out.println("Length: " + file.length());
        System.out.println();
    }
}

Here is the result output:
File C:\System Volume Information info:
Exists: true
Is file: false
Is dir: true
Length: 24576

How much and how often do I feed my puppy?
How often do I feed my puppy?
By 6 weeks of age puppies are eating solid food. A reputable breeder will not usually let the pup come home with you until at least 8 weeks of age, so your pup is well weaned and established fully on a solids diet.
Weigh your puppy regularly (fortnightly minimum) especially in the larger breeds to help guide you in increasing the food amount.
8 - 14 weeks. Feed your pup either or if a large pup breed 4 times a day.
This is not a hard and fast rule, but the principle behind this is that your pup is burning energy at a fast pace as they are growing so fast at this age.
Their stomachs are small and you don't want to overfeed your pup and cause bloat.
Smaller, high quality food given often allows your pup to take in the most nutrition from the meal, use the carbohydrates easily and not be too full.
If you work all day, it is still fairly easy to give the pup a meal in the morning, then one immediately on arriving home and a small meal in the later evening.
14 - 26 weeks. Your pup is still growing fast, but the digestive system is also maturing and you should cut back to 3 meals per day now if you were giving 4, and they can be gradually increased in size.
6 months - 1 year. You pup will reach his adult frame size during this period, even though many breeds don't really fill out and mature for anything up to another year.
Without feeding less per day than you were, cut back to giving the food in 2 meals per day.
Feed the later meal during the late afternoon but not late at night.
small dog breeds may now be taken down to once a day.
It is useful to make the changes in number of meals per day over a period of a few days or a week.
For example if you are changing from 3 meals per day to 2, start giving only a little more food in the 2 meal times you are going to continue with, and start to make the other meal smaller until after a few days you are no longer offering that meal.
BEWARE - do not just feed your puppy however much he seems to want whenever he seems hungry - a puppy will suffer more from obesity and bones being forced to grow too fast, than from not getting quite enough to eat!
Firstly we need to consider what breed of puppy you are feeding, so use the table below to guide you. It is highly recommended however that you take advice from your puppies breeder and your vet concerning your exact breed of puppy and how the puppy is growing and developing.
The best rule to follow if you are unsure is: if there is any food left after 15 - 20 minutes, take it away and offer a slightly smaller meal next time. You puppy should eat all you offer quickly, or you are probably offering a bit too much.
The following table is a guide for the maximum to feed your dog as an adult, and a guide to feeding your puppy til adult weight.
Pups needs will depend also on how active your puppy is, and the calorie levels in your chosen foods - do check the information on the packaging before feeding.
3/4 - 1 cup per day 1/2 to 3/4 cup per day maximum by age of 6 months.
1 cup per day 1/2 - 1 cup per day maximum by age of 6 months.
2 - 4 cups per day The large breeds have the greatest variation in food amount mostly because of activity levels. A large breed dog that is not very active can become extremely obese quite quickly, and it always takes far more effort to get that weight off again.
Vegetables and cereals are higher in carbohydrates than meats, however canned and processed foods can have a high carbohydrate content so check carefully. Protein provides a longer lasting energy source without the spiking caused by sugars.
Everyone will recommend different brands of dog food, so get used to reading the labels for youself.
Meat in the foods must be specified - beware of listings such as "animal", "animal products" or "meat". Look for listings such as "beef" or "chicken" as they will only be by-products if not specified and are low in nutritional value.
high corn content - corn has a high glycemic index, is not highly digestible and the corn used will be of the lowest grade. You don't have to completely avoid corn at all costs, just beware that it is a very cheap ingredient and a cheap dry dog food may be cheap because of the high corn content.
high grain content - again grains used in dog food are of the lowest grade and are very cheap for the manufacturer to purchase. There are many studies that link high grain content kibbles with skin irritations in dogs.
It cannot be stressed enough that you ensure your puppy and adult dog always has access to plenty of fresh, clean water. Remember too that dry food is just that and your puppy may drink surprisingly large quantities of water.

14 Shiro – Deadman Wonderland
Shiro's character is one that you can't help but sympathize with, no matter what terrible things she does. Because of various experiments been done on her, she became the first 'Deadman'. Her body would often deteriorate causing both her arms and legs to fall off and needs to be sewn back together with her body.
Because of these excruciatingly painful nanomachine experiments, she developed a second personality called the 'Wretched Egg' or 'Red Man' to help her cope with the mental and physical pain. While Wretched Egg protects Shiro, she is also the cause of thousands of deaths including a natural disaster.
Even though it's easy to sympathize with Shiro/Wretched Egg she's still an unpredictable and highly dangerous dark anime character.

12 Inga – Un-Go
Inga is probably one of the most interesting anime characters on this list. Inga starts out in the series as a young boy (around 14 years old). However, as the seasons passed she became one of the most amazing female anime villains ever.
Inga can transform into his adult female form so he can more easily find out about the truth. The adult Inga is manipulative, sadistic, and doesn't shie away from violence to find out the truth. Talk about animated femme fatale.

Even though Alucard is capable of human emotions he's still one of the most sadistic and cruelest (often to an extreme length) vampire who likes to humiliate his opponents.

10 Madara Uchiha – Naruto Shippūden
Madara is another perfect antagonist who clashes perfectly with the hero. While his goal is good – he wants to achieve peace – his methods are evil, cruel and he wants to force people into peace by taking away free will and basic human rights.
Naruto also has one of the best dark anime OST ever and is an entertaining dark action anime that will get you hooked on the show in no time. If you want to check out other amazing anime music then here is a link .
9 Sōsuke Aizen – Bleach
One of the darkest but most beautiful villains. I mean, just look at the photo above. He is also one of the smartest and calmest villains on the list.
He killed countless people during his experiments and he stops at nothing to achieve his goals. Sosuke is also mad arrogant just like a supervillain should be. He is cutthroat who wants to change society's faults but like all villains chooses to do so in a very wrong way.
8 Gaku Yashiro – Erased
Gaku is a tulry dark anime guy and one of the most insane anime characters on the list. I think it makes him one of the creepiest too since he is a type of character who can be found too easily in our world as well.
What're his bad deeds? Gaku is not only a teacher turned politician but also a serial killer who mainly aims children. I don't think we need more explanation.

Top Anime Series To Watch When You're Depressed Or Have Anxiety
6 ragyo kiryuin – Kill la Kill
Ragyo is one of my favorite female anime villains. She enjoys dominating others, she has a strong lust for power and enjoys cruelty. She's also fairly sexually adventurous and doesn't shy back even from sexually assaulting others.
Ragyo turned evil when she discovered the life fibers and from that point, she stops at nothing to achieve her goals. She turns into a maniac who brutalizes and manipulates whoever she pleases. She's most certainly one of the most interesting and dark anime characters out there.
5 Griffith — Berserk
Griffith is one of the most gorgeous good anime characters who turned evil. He is narcissistic who believes he's worth more than the people around him and he treats them accordingly; disposable.
To achieve his goal of becoming a god/demon like figure he ends up not only sacrificing his comrades but his last shred of humanity in himself as well.
4 Frieza – Dragon Ball Z
He is probably one of the most famous scary anime characters of them all. Dragon Ball took the world by storm and became the favorites for many, even for those who normally don't watch anime.
While Frieza has an eloquent nature who has a pretty impressive dark humor and likes to taunt his opponents before killing them. He's not only ready to kill anyone who stands in his way but clearly enjoys to do so. Frieza is definitely the most entertaining, fun but cruel anime villains ever who will make watching Dragon Ball even more exciting.
Anime Music Treasures That Will Make Your Heart Pound Stronger
3 Hisoka Hunter x Hunter
Hisoka is the single most fun villain in anime history. He is self-absorbent who cares about nothing but himself, while in the meantime, he likes to find equally strong opponents who can challenge him. However, he's fairly sadistic too, who gravely enjoys causing great pain and humiliate everyone before killing them.
Hisoka is a manipulative murderous sociopath who will make you get hooked on Hunter X Hunter which is easily one of the darkest anime series.
Hunter X Hunter is one of the best dark animes on Netflix that will make you want to leave the lights on.
The 14 Best Animated Movies For Adults
2 Shou Tucker – Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood
Creepy, insane, dark… the list is pretty much endless. While Shou has only a short appearance in the FullMetal series it's probably one of the most memorable and vile ones on the show.
He's a soft-spoken alchemist whose obsession pushes to extreme lengths and eventually, he commits one of the most disturbing and immoral acts in the series against his own little girl.
1 Light Yagami/First Kira – Death Note
Death Note is the best psychological and dark anime show you can start watching even if you're new to anime. This show is one of the most famous and beloved anime you can find. However, that's not why Light Yagami is on the first spot on this list.
While Light Yagami starts out as a good character he quickly becomes a madman with a god complex because of the new power Death Note gives him. He tries so hard to shape a world to his own liking and ideals, that he gets completely lost and turns dark for good.
He's a perfect villain because it's scarily easy not only to understand his reasoning but even to agree with him at most parts. Light serves as a mirror to humanity's darker nature and reminds us of how easy it is to erase the line between good and evil.
If you want to check out some of the best anime for beginners that will get you hooked follow the link. However, we have a pretty nice list as well in case you're looking for the most comforting and fun top anime series that can help with depression and anxiety.

I would not want to run into any of these guys…for sure. It's interesting how certain characteristics float across the villains: like arrogance and narcism. I like how the calmest is pretty much a serial killer. Thank you for educating me a bit more–the U.S. doesn't have a lot of anime fans or info out there (except in speciality niche groups).
Jella	on November 1, 2018 at 9:57 pm

Sire De Grugy added credence to his chances of winning the Queen Mother Champion Chase for a second time with a tenacious victory in the Betfair Tingle Creek Chase at Sandown.
The success heralded a return to form for the Gary Moore-trained nine-year-old who won the Tingle Creek in 2013 but suffered from jumping errors last season and disappointed on his comeback when finishing last at Exeter in early November.
Yet the 2014 Champion Chase winner looked back to his best on Saturday as he raced close to the pace under Jamie Moore in the Grade 1 contest, before taking it up five fences from home. Special Tiara closed the gap as they approached the last fence where Sire De Grugy jumped left and bumped his rival, causing both horses to lose momentum. The pair rallied well with Moore's charge maintaining the lead and surviving a stewards' enquiry to secure victory.
The win was the sixth at the two-day meeting at Sandown for Gary Moore who was quick to pay tribute to the hard work of his staff.
"It's amazing and testament to the staff at home," he said. "They work very hard, my vet, my blacksmith, the lad who looks after him, everyone. All that hard work has gone into getting him back.
"Personally I'd liked to have seen Jamie sit a bit longer, as they'd gone hard from a long way, but he knows him better than me.
"He's like his best mate, when he walks into the yard to tack him up he actually whinnies to him, it's unbelievable. Apart from his wife and children he's the love of his life.
Jamie Moore added: "It's a lot of credit to the horse; he hasn't got a routine any more. When I wake up in the morning I think, 'what shall we do today?' and he kind of tells us what to do and we have sweetened him up a bit.
Sire De Grugy is best-priced at 16-1, but as short as 10-1 for the Champion Chase at Cheltenham on March 16.
