2019 Summer Season Preview
Aoi Hana Review – 87,5/100
Posted on 10 September 2009 with categories: Anime Reviews, Aoi Hana
At the start of this year I wasn't exactly the biggest fan of romance, but damn. 2009 has surely proved to be an excellent year for this genre. The year already started out with gems as Clannad's After Story and Genji Monogatari, then it continued with the truly excellent Ristorante Paradiso and Cross Game, and if that wasn't enough the Summer season only continued this trend of awesomeness with Spice and Wolf II and, of course, Aoi Hana.
At first sight, Aoi Hana may seem like your average lesbian series with lots of girls who cheesily fall in love with each other, but this series quickly proves those suspicions wrong when it subverts just about every cliché in the romance genre imaginable. FOR ONCE, romantic relationships are portrayed realistically, rather than those overly romanticized relationship you see in most average romances. For once, you see childhood friends who really behave like childhood friends, rather than the creators using the childhood friendship as a cheap plot device to get the lead couple in love with each other. For once, the two lead characters don't end up falling in love with each other, and instead the main romance plays out between one of the lead character, and a side-character. And really: for once in a gay show we see actual straight romances. In fact, there's only one lesbian in the entire series (Fumi, one of the lead characters). The rest is either straight or bi.
On top of that, this series is incredibly well told. there's a huge amount of subtlety within the relationship of the most important characters in this series: the way they behave, feel and interact with each other is really done with a superb attention to detail. The series is only eleven episodes long, and yet the personality of each character can't just be explained in one sentence. There's absolutely nothing that's shallow in this series.
The animation for this series also really stands out among the best in the romance genre. It's very subtle, and portrays very accurately how all of the different characters move. But it's especially the scenes in which people are touching each other, whether holding hands or messing with each other's hair, in which the animation really makes those movements feel so incredibly real.
I feel hard-pressed to pick up any flaws for this series. Obviously, you don't want to watch this series if you dislike a slow-paced series, but it really is a must-watch for any fan of the shoujo-ai genre in the way that it so realistically portrays lesbian relationships. There are a few scenes here and there that could have used a bit more build-up (like Kyouko's fiancee, or the ending), but those moments are few and far in between. Aoi Hana really is one of my top picks of the past Summer Season.

Ah, this really was a cute ending for such a consistently excellent series. While not the best single episode of the series, it provided closure in a "life goes on"-kind of ending. The series feels complete, even though the manga goes on after this point.
As for my big fear for the ending: thankfully the creators didn't end up making Fumi and Akira a couple, although this episode did play around with the romantic feelings between them. I began to fear a bit when Fumi saw Akira hanging out with Kou together and got jealous, but in the end the creators had a very nice explanation for that: Fumi had forgotten that her first crush was the one she had on Akira, when they were little. It's this realization that made for the charming ending, and yet at the same time you could see that Fumi and Akira weren't cheesily falling in love once they realized this. They could become a couple in the future, they could not. Who knows? Thankfully it feels much more natural than just about every other childhood crush out there.
Overall, I'm really glad that I managed to stick with this series. It definitely stands among my Top 3 of the series that premiered at the Summer Season, along with Tokyo Magnitude and GA. At the beginning of the season, I claimed that this could be one of the best summer seasons ever. That unfortunately didn't hold up, since a number of series did end up a bit disappointing after their initial episodes (most notably, Canaan, Bakemonogatari and Sora no Manimani), but I do have to agree that there are surprisingly few series that are below average. And Aoi Hana really ignored everything and just went on to deliver one consistently solid episode after the other.
At this point, it seems pretty likely that I'm going to be forced to blog Kimi ni Todoke next season. I have no idea what it's going to be about, other than that it's also going to be a shoujo romance, but I do have to say that it's going to have to try really hard to be able to beat this series.
Rating: ** (Excellent)

Oh, what a powerful episode this was. It was entirely quiet: no overblown or forced drama, nor an overemphasis on angst whatsoever. I believe that this episode was the most subtle of the entire series, and with Aoi Hana, that has to say something.
The first half showed the wedding between Yasuko's sister and teacher: this sealed the deal, and her teacher has now officially become impossible to reach. It really was a time in which Yasuko was finally able to close off a big part of her teenaged life. After that, we see her telling a bit about how she originally came to love her teacher. We also see how she cut her long hair short, as a means of symbolism. At the same time we see her befriend Kyouko, who also cut her hair short in response. With this, I'm beginning to see the relationship between Yasuko and Kyouko: Yasuko really does like Kyouko as a friend, but has gotten annoyed with Kyouko's obsession over her.
But the really good part of this episode happened in the second half, in which Fumi (who was absent at the wedding) invites Akira over, and Akira's brother and Yasuko end up tagging along. What follows is a very awkward scene, in which Fumi tries to distance herself as far away from Yasuko as possible by using Akira, and Akira's brother keeping Yasuko a bit busy by telling her about how Akira used to be in the past. I especially loved the last part in which Yasuko tries to apologize to Fumi, and then getting rejected. You can see that she really broke up with Fumi in a tantrum. She ruined things between the two of them herself, because she should have known that Fumi is a really emotional person who takes what people say to her very seriously, especially since she was heart-broken once before.
In a way, Fumi has grown out of this as a stronger person, but at the same time it's also sad to see that she's completely shielding herself away right now, afraid to be hurt for a third time.
So, with one episode left, I really wonder how the creators are planning to end this series. I really hope for a "life goes on"-ending: an ending that's just going to show a final part of the characters, and what's going to happen to them after that is just going to be left to the viewer's imagination. Especially since it's very unlikely to see a second season of this, it would be the perfect ending for such a small little series.
Just one thing: PLEASE don't end the series with Fumi and Akira falling in love with each other. This series has done SO WELL in avoiding just about every romance cliché in the book, it would be such an incredible shame to ruin it at the last possible minute!

A peculiar episode for this series, especially with only two episodes left after this. You'd think that this close to the end, the creators would pump up the drama, but instead we get what is likely the quietest episode of this series yet. There was a lot of simple slice of life.
So in this episode, Kyouko basically takes Akira, Fumi and some of her classmates to a holiday house owned by her fiance. A lot of the episode was just focused to the bunch of them having fun. There was a bit of drama, but this was much lighter than previous in this series. Basically, Kyouko's fiance turns out to really like Kyouko, even when he knows that she has a crush on a girl. Yet again a subversion of the "childhood friends becoming lovers"-trope. This also is an important episode for Akira at the end, where she finally seems to realize that she's the only one of her friends who still hasn't fallen in love.
With two episodes left, I'm very curious to see how the creators are planning to end this series. Of course, I'd be happy with a second season, but there are other shows that are currently airing that deserve a sequel much more than this series. With the Noise time-slot apparently having bombed, I don't think that the producers are very keen on keeping this series going, and I'm really not bothered if that turns out to be the case: we've got ourselves a nice, short and consistently excellent romance here that was really good while it lasted.
I personally hope that the creators are going for a Hitohira end here: don't try to save the biggest climax for last, and instead try to wrap up the plot nicely, and let life just go on afterwards. That's going to be perfect for this series, instead of inserting some shallow conclusion in which Akira suddenly comes to realize that she's in love with Fumi. That's going to be rather lame.
Rating: * (Good)
This entry starts with a spoiler so you may want to look away if you're skimming through this paragraph. Holy crap, they actually broke up, and this doesn't look like they're going to get back together at this rate. It's a bit of a shame though. It's a bit predictable that Fumi is going to end up with Akira after all, since I really liked how originally this series didn't seem to go down the clichéd road of childhood friends becoming lovers. Nevertheless, this was yet another truly excellent episode for Aoi Hana.
Anyway, I have no idea what's going to happen with this series. Everyone says that this series is only going to last for 11 episodes, but I really doubt this. The reason why Michiko e Hatchin and Ristorante Paradiso had so few episodes was because they had a really strange broadcasting policy: Ristopara had a bunch of hiatuses in the beginning, while Michiko e Hatchin had one of the weirdest broadcasting policies I've ever run into when it kept getting to hiatuses one week and air double episodes the next. With Aoi Hana however, every episode aired like it was supposed to, and I find it really hard to believe that it's already going to be over in three weeks. Speaking of which, is it already known which series is going to be the next one to fill in the Noise time-slot, or is that even unknown? Because in the case of the latter, we might have ourselves a 26-episode series here….
Anyway, what struck me the most in this episode was the incredibly cold way in which Yasuko talked to Kyouko, who found out that Fumi was dumped through Akira. That was absolutely nothing like what I expected from her. She must have been really upset with her sister marrying the teacher that she was in love with, and so she vented all of her frustrations on Fumi and Kyouko. In that way, she's even worse than Fumi in her sulking about her past crush. And it took me a while to realize how similar the two of them are. It's really a huge shame that they broke up, but unfortunately it really seems that Fumi has lost her feelings for Yasuko.
Also, the drawings and animation in this series are incredibly good when two people are touching each other in some way, whether messing with each other's hair, hugging, or just holding each other's hands. Those are the scenes that you can almost feel coming to life.
It's episodes like this one that really make it unfair to wait for an entire week to see what happens next. Such a powerful episode even though it was nothing like your average dramatic anime episode. Aoi Hana really feels like one of the most realistic romances I've seen in a long time and it works incredibly well so far.
In this episode you could really see the distance between Fumi and Yasuko. It all starts with Fumi seeking refuge at Akira because of what happened in the previous episode, which is when she realized that Yasuko is still hung up over her past crush. In the meantime Akira finds out through Kyouko (who obviously has been researching on Yasuko) that Yasuko has four sisters, one of which previously taught at their high school.
The main meat of tihs episode however was about Yasuko, finally deciding to show Fumi her family and vice versa, and at that point we get to see a totally different version of Yasuko. At home, she's really known as the spoiled princess. As the youngest, she often gets looked down upon by her sisters. You'd think that that would make her stronger, but because she's seen as a role model outside of her family, she instead chooses to withdraw whenever her sisters or mother start to annoy her.
On top of that, Fumi makes a huge mistake of mentioning to her sisters how one of them taught at their high school, without ever mentioning that she had that knowledge to Yasuko herself. Fumi makes even more stupid moves, by actually taking the side of her family, rather than of Yasuko, and also mentioning how she previously was in love but got dumped.
That all leads to the end of this episode, in which Yasuko proposes to break up. That's one very nasty cliff-hanger there. If the two of them manage to stay together like this and grow to accept their differences, they'll probably get a lot closer to each other, however the chance of the two of them really breaking up is really big, and I'd really hate to see that happen. It's exactly because the two of them are so different that they form a very nice couple.
I also wonder. Kyouko obviously got her crush on Yasuko because of her popular image, but I wonder whether she'd be still as enthusiastic about her when she learned that she also had a vulnerable side. In that way you can really see that Yasuko cares about Fumi: I don't think that she's ever willingly shown her weak side to anyone else, but Fumi at the same time is just so dense that it's going to take a lot of effort for the two of them to fully trust each other.

There's always this… something about plays that are performed in anime. I'm not sure what it is, but they always tend to bring out something fresh out of the characters. Aoi Hana as usual does this very subtly and full of emotions. In this episode, we see the play Wuthering Heights being performed by Yasuko and the others. I really have been watching too many cheesy soap operas lately, because this episode really surprised me at how well everything went, and yet there were so many emotions at the end.
Basically, nearly everything in the play goes smoothly, aside from a few pieces of clothing and books that aren't at the place they should be, and when everything is over the teacher that Yasuko had her crush on congratulates her, which makes show a rather embarrassing side of her, which is something that Fumi happens to oversee. In your average anime, you'd usually expect Fumi to run away and refuse to talk to anyone, but interestingly enough the two of them were able to talk just fine after that: Fumi is clearly hurt when she found out that Yasuko still has feelings on her past crush, but both of them understand that it's just something from the past.
There's also this scene in which Yasuko claims that she dislikes the character of Catherine in Wuthering Heights. Well, I don't know the full details of the Wuthering Heights novel, but Catherine seemed to be a passionate, wild and mischievous girl, who lead both her and Heathcliff to their doom. It's interesting how in the same way, Kyouko actually looks up to her due to her strong will. They both have totally different ways in which they relate to her character, and it also signified the distance between the two of them, since Kyouko doesn't know what happened in Yasuko's past with her teacher.
And on a side-note, this series has something with hair. In every episode, you can see someone playing around with someone else's hair. I like this though: it shows that hair is more than just brightly coloured stuff on top of people's heads that waves elegantly in the wind to give off the air of good animation. I especially liked the animation of Catherine as she played the part. It's much better to have a bit of a messy animation and movement, rather than clean art and a bunch of still frames.

Oh, I so love how this series managed to bring its characters to life. The non-verbal communication between the characters says much more than what the dialogue can even hope for and the creators manage to do this with a lot of subtlety. It really gives all of the characters complex stories, rather than "A is in love with B but B is in love with C so A hates C", or the like. There definitely is a love triangle going on here, but these five episodes have added a lot of detail to them to make them far away from your average love triangle out there.
In this episode, Kyouko finds out why she was rejected by Yasuko, and how Yasuko is in love with Fumi. I didn't see any hate for Fumi at her, but just about every other negative emotion was present on her. Because of this, Fumi stops accompanying Yasuko to her rehearsals because she fears having to deal with Kyouko's sad face again. Throughout, Akira keeps acting as the straight man in this romance: she isn't loved or in love with anyone, but instead provides support for both Fumi and Kyouko in this case.
And I have to say that Yasuko has a very interesting way to show her affections. While Fumi act like a shy puppy around her, Yasuko instead shows her feelings very subtly: she mostly puts on a straight face in order to be the strong shoulder for Fumi to lean on, but there are a few times here and there in which you can see that she really likes to be with Fumi.
Kenichi Kasai isn't the most consistent director I've seen. What I saw of Major (the first season) shows that he's terrible at shounen series, and Kimikiss, while it did have genuine characters, did drag on for way too long, but his best works really are something else. Nodame Cantabile was awesome, and Aoi Hana also looks to be standing out in its own way with its attention to detail. And yes, some day I'm going to watch Honey and Clover. ;)
I love the subtitle of the Noise timeslot: "War Cry of Animation Monster. GAOOOOO!!" Let alone the awesome roar, it's ironic how despite such an aggressive motto, the past two series of the timeslot have been very charming and very quiet slice of life series. At the moment, I'm not going to call Noitamina or Noise the better time slot, because Noise has only started. However, after the fourth season of Noise's lifetime, its repertoire only consists out of truly excellent and well-thought out series, so it really got off to an amazing start. But then again, this was the same thing with Noitamina (I would have rated Paradise Kiss much higher if I had watched it today): its first screw-up came with its fifth season and Jyu Oh Sei. Let's now see whether or not Noise can beat that.
Anyway, about this episode: it yet again was excellent and continues to subtly flesh out and develop the different characters, mostly Fumi and Yasuko. Fumi shows herself to be really uncertain about her relationship, and in her mind she sees herself in the middle of a love triangle: while she's in love with Yasuko, she doesn't want to lose Akira at the same time, and yet staying with Akira makes her believe that she's betraying Yasuko.
Yasuko in the meantime thankfully made sure that this series avoids the biggest pitfall that shounen ai and yuri shows can have: the "everyone is gay"-syndrome. As it turns out, Yasuko used to be in love with one of her teachers, but got rejected. And now suddenly, she is in a relationship where she has to be the strong one, taking care of the ever-gloomy Fumi. I guess that she uses that to make her forget about the relationship with her teacher, but at the same time the way she rejected Kyouko two episodes ago suggests that she isn't that desperate, and didn't just start dating Fumi for the heck of it, and instead has real feelings for her.
At the moment, there is no doubt for me that Aoi Hana is the best series to debut this summer season, and this episode only reinforced this. From the very beginning, it's been a consistently excellent yuri series with believable and charming characters. I'm also really glad to see that the great animation wasn't just something of the first two episodes: this episode yet again looked great, with detailed animated shots and some great artwork, despite the down to earth character-designs.
This episode also surprised me with how the two lead characters didn't become a couple. Instead, Fumi started dating the captain of the basketball club, while Akira had simply been going out with her friends and is still looking. But then again, this is anime. Has there ever been a romance story in which two childhood friends did not fall in love with each other at some point?
I'm curious as to how many episodes there are going to be. Unfortunately, the episode page of ANN is completely messed up in this case, so there is no way of telling whether there are actually going to be 11 episodes, or whether there are going to be more. Interestingly, the manga this is based on only has two volumes. That's pretty short for a manga, and yet it feels perfect for a short story like this one.
Very nice romantic developments, especially for Fumi.
O Maidens in Your Savage Season – 02 [Es Ee Ecks]
To someone on the outside looking in, the anime medium, or what it has become now, comprises of some incredibly good seasonal shows that never become truly great; behind these, we have a slew of solid ones followed by a sea of mediocrity. And all this covers a fifty feet deep pile of crap that […]
Kanata no Astra – 02 [Wilderness]
Welcome to the first week of Kanata no Astra, aka Astra Lost in Space in English localization. The double-length premiere remains a flawed but decent introduction for me, and this sophomore further underlines the strengths, as well as the potential weaknesses of this show going forward. For instance, many of the anime's changes baffled me. […]

Welcome to Fire Force! I'm your infernal host for the season (and hopefully many more), Amun. Fire Force kicks off as the highly anticipated sophomore work of Atsushi Ohkubo (known for Soul Eater).

Welcome to another week of Kimetsu no Yaiba. This week we take a break as our trio get to know each other, have some dinner and meet best sister Nezuko. Let's get into it! Right off the bat, I am rather split on this episode. Both in terms of production/animation and the actual narrative of […]
Kimetsu no Yaiba – 13 [Something More Important Than Life]
Another week, another episode of Kimetsu no Yaiba, though not a great one. Zenitsu gets less annoying, and the fights are fun, but the pacing is off and the narrative is questionable. That said, let's get into some details and jump in! Starting off, like always, production. Animation wise, Yaiba was fine. The rotating room […]
Mix – 12/13 [Aren't You Taking Him Lightly?/Because We're Brothers]
I missed last week's post due to a temporary Hearthstone addiction, so here's a doubleheader for you. These episodes stepped away from the show's recent focus on romance and character building, opting to broaden the cast in preparation for the East Tokyo summer tournament. Episode 13 actually covers the opening innings of Meisei's first game, […]
Penguin Highway (2018) Movie Review – 89/100
You're walking along in your neighborhood, going about your daily routine. It's a fine morning. The sun is shining brightly. But suddenly, you see something strange. You squint your eyes; even rub them, to make sure it isn't a mirage before exclaiming with excitement, "Oh, look. It's a bird. No, it's a plane! No no. […]
One Punch Man Season 2 Anime Review – 34/100
Often at the start of one of these reviews, I will wax philosophical about a series. Attempting to slowly draw you, the reader, in to whatever topic or anime I am discussing in that review. This time, none of that. This time, I have to come out and say from the beginning, that One Punch […]
Dororo Anime Review – 55/100
In the modern anime sphere, getting a complete story, start to finish, is a rare thing. As is getting an adaptation for an older work. Dororo however has, through the grace of Twin Engine, managed to get both of these. Based on the 1967 manga of the same name by legendary Mangaka Osamu Tezuka, Dororo […]
[Star Crossed Anime Exclusive] Code Geass: Lelouch of the Resurrection Review – 80/100
I was lucky enough to be at Sakura-con in Seattle on 20 April 2019 for the Funimation's movie premiere of Code Geass' third movie with the Director himself, Gorō Taniguchi, along with his senior staff in attendance inside a room full of raving fans. Was it was worth the decade-long wait to have a worthy […]
Paranoia Agent Anime Review – 67/100
In an era of the mundane, where every series is the same moe blob, the weird sticks out. Even the most mediocre series can get attention just by being weird. Paranoia Agent is not mediocre, and it is far beyond simply "weird". Written and Directed by Satoshi Kon, Paranoia Agent is one of his last […]
Boogiepop wa Warawanai (2019) (Winter 2019) Anime Review – 78/100
Just like the titular character, Boogiepop Phantom the series has become some sort of urban legend itself in this medium. Its Light Novels are amongst the first Light Novel ever released, dating back to mid-90s. Moreover, the franchise has endured the test of time, as it inspires anime, live-action adaptations and Boogiepop is a well-known […]
Kouya no Kotobuki Hikoutai (2019 Winter) Anime Review – 77/100
Coming to Kotobuki, there are lots of aspect that catch my attention: it's from a famed director Tsutomu Mizushima who can turn the most trashable and genre-able concepts into something intriguing; it's an CG show about air pilots: it has extended aerial combat set-pieces. Watching it till the end, I have to tip my hat […]
Kemurikusa (2019 Winter) Anime Review – 79/100
Kemurikusa is your very definition of an overlooked gem, one that never really gain much discussion anywhere, but one that has a distinctive style from an up-and-coming auteur who has full control of his projects. Coming to Kemurikusa, all the attention it has came from the fact that it is created by TATSUKI, a mastermind […]
Mob Psycho 100 S2 Anime Review – 87/100
Upon finishing this series, the only question on my mind was how many animators did Bones sacrifice on ONE's altar to achieve this. Following their prior season, Mob Psycho 100 Season 2 continues Bones adaptation of webcomic and manga author ONE's 4th work, Mob Psycho 100. ONE has also authored the critically acclaimed One Punch […]

I really didn't have a clue that grapes are not good for dogs or cats.
Oh hey, we learn something new everyday.
Did you know that your pet should avoid these foods?
The dog of a friend was passionate about chocolate and begged or stole it at every opportunity. In spite of that he lived to a ripe old age! One can't be too dogmatic – haha – about it, methinks.
My son is getting a rabbit and he isn't exactly sure what it needs. Now we know.
Very good post, I used to work in the pet industry and was often shocked at that people would give their pets!
My cat will eat ANYTHING but luckily she never gets hold of any of the things on there! She has been caught with her head in a glass of wine before though.
This is some really great information I will definitely be passing this blog post to a few people.!! I do not have any pets but I know this information will be very useful for whom I know that has animals. Thank you for sharing.
Onions and garlic also a no-no for dogs in other than v. small amounts.
Chocolate can be fatal to dogs in all but small doses; better not to give at all. Our Nellie ate a few little chocolates from my handbag last weekend and was extremely ill (lots of vomiting and out of control runny bottom for several days).
In severe cases, their heart has palpitations and can stop. There is something in chocolate related to caffeine, which they cannot process as we do.
Hendrix loves tomatoes. He picks them himself from the garden, after getting permission. He can't get enough of them!
Omg i had no idea about no salt for dogs! Wow my hubby shares his fries all the time! THANK YOU for sharing this!!! Will be putting at end to that ASAP!
Thanks for sharing this! My daughter has a cat and I wasn't aware of all of that–glad I know!
That is great info! I always heard chocolate was very bad for cats and dogs but don't see it under their names. Is that just a myth?
I knew about grapes and raisins, but not peaches and plums. Thanks for sharing!

El Cristo de San Agustín es una escultura de madera de carácter devocional, que se conserva en el Convento del Santo Ángel Custodio  (Granada, España) y que está atribuida a Jacopo Florentino, quien pudo ejecutarla entre 1520 y 1525. Actualmente, la imagen está en usufructo de la Hermandad del Cristo de San Agustín y procesiona cada año durante Semana Santa.

La imagen, por acontecimientos históricos de la ciudad, está considerado como "Sagrado Protector de Granada" desde 1680, cuando se obraron algunos milagros atribuidos a la acción del Cristo ante una epidemia de peste.

Características
Esta imagen religiosa, actualmente venerada en el convento del Santo Ángel Custodio de Granada, es una escultura de talla completa y de vestir hecha de madera de nogal, de 1'92 metros de altura, policromada. Se trata de una de las obras más señeras de su autor, Jacopo Florentino. Presenta una melena de cabello natural y nimbo y corona de plata sobrepuesta del siglo XVIII. El Cristo reposa sobre una cruz de plata cincelada con motivos florales, del siglo XVIII y restaurada recientemente.

Es una obra simétrica, concepto muy propio de la época en que fue realizada, el Renacimiento, salvo por la inclinación diestra que presenta la cabeza, que muestra a Jesús después de expirar. El rostro refleja visiblemente el dolor y cansancio de Cristo, sobrevenido sobre su propio peso. Sobre la zona pectoral vemos tres regueros de sangre y en el costado derecho la herida de la lanza de Longinos, representada con una mancha negruzca y una pequeña perforación del cuerpo. Al estar tallada íntegramente, su anatomía se cubre con un sudario corto de tela, bien con faldilla o tonelete.

A modo anecdótico podemos destacar de esta imagen que es la titular de la Hermandad del Santísimo Cristo de San Agustín de Granada, cuya hermana mayor ad perpetuam es la reina Isabel II a petición propia tras orar frente a la imagen. Debido a los milagros que se le atribuyen, así como favores concedidos al pueblo granadino durante el siglo XVII, ostenta el título de "Sagrado Protector de la Ciudad".

Fuentes bibílicas
Los pasajes evangélicos a los que corresponden la composición de esta talla son los siguientes:

 "Después de esto, sabiendo Jesús que ya se había cumplido todo, para que se cumpliera la Escritura dijo: Tengo sed"

 "Estaba puesta [allí] una vasija llena de vinagre; así que, poniendo en una caña de hisopo una esponja empapada en el vinagre, se la acercaban a la boca. Y cuando tomó el vinagre, Jesús dijo: "se ha cumplido"."

 "E inclinando la cabeza entregó su espíritu" (Jn. 19, 28-30).

Would you recommend Eagle Glacier Cabin?
Eagle Glacier Cabin is just like the avian it garnered its name from—bold, proud, and prideful. Able to accommodate upwards of eight people, this comely cabin's nestled in the carved outcrops of the like-named Glacier. However, make sure to make your reservation well in advance; Eagle Glacier Cabin is especially popular in the spring and summer months.
Natural features you'll find at Eagle Glacier Cabin.
Drop some Eagle Glacier Cabin knowledge on us.
Eagle Glacier Cabin is not operated by Hipcamp and can only be booked externally. (For now!) Hipcamp is working closely with the government to allow bookings here asap.


Most coloring groups on Facebook have a strict "No criticism" policy. The rules often state "If you don't have anything good to say, move on." But is that really such a good idea? If we are not allowed to receive criticism, how will we ever get better?
While I by no means imply that we should be allowed to tear each other's work apart, constructive criticism might turn an enthusiastic artist into a good artist, and a good artist into a great one.
Most people know their own limitations. By looking at other's work they know that their work is not up to par. They can see that others are better and often wonder ... how did they do that?
This is where constructive criticism might be helpful. Mentioning where the coloring artist went wrong, or what could be improved upon, might not only be well received but appreciated.
For instance. Some two weeks or three weeks ago I noticed a particularly striking image of blue flowers in this group. The coloring brought about a string of likes and comments of people falling over themselves to express how extraordinary this coloring was.
My first reaction was ... I might as well give up. The artist, Pris David, commented "No, don't do that. Keep practicing and you'll be able to do this too." Yeah right, like that was gonna happen.
So I emailed Pris and she started giving me some tips. I tried what she explained and ... it didn't work. I tried again and again, but no, no luck.
Next Pris provided, in addition to more advice, a picture of what to do and what not to do. I tried again and ... hm, while I could see a tiny bit of improvement, my efforts still didn't even come close to what she was showing me.
So Pris took it one step further and sent me a video.
I must have watched that video ten times, and not just looked at it, but studied it, along with the pictures she provided. And yes, eventually what she had explained, showed me with drawings and now with this video started to make sense.
So I tried again, sent her the result of my work, she delivered feedback and I tried again, and again, and again.
Today I'm happy to say that I'm getting there. I'm still nowhere near as good as Pris is, but if I can improve this much in two weeks, the future looks promising.
The blue flowers I colored earlier this year, the blue and pink ones were done last week.
If you've ever wondered if cats can tell time, I can tell you with absolute certainty that they can.
Some cat owners will agree, knowing that their cat greets them by the front door as they come home from work. But it goes further than that.
But speaking of talking talking ... Mickey never learned how to meow as such, but he's a great singer.
For instance, last week my son Dieter went to Home Depot after work. Usually Dieter comes home around 4:45 p.m., but on that particular day 4:45 p.m. came and went, there was no sign of Dieter and Mickey got agitated.
He started pacing through the whole condo. First he walked up and down the living room a few times, next he went to check the bedrooms, he even took a look in the bathroom, and when he couldn't find Dieter he started "singing".
Yes I call it singing, because what Mickey does you can't call meowing. He hits a note and holds it. He will hit another note for a few seconds, then go higher or lower for a few second more. All the while walking to and fro.
Each time Dieter announces that he will be late because of a meeting, shopping or a date, I dread it because Mick turns from a regular cat into an opera singer.
Gabriel can also tell time and is an equally great singer. Perhaps even better than Mickey because depending on the sound he sound he produces I know exactly what he wants.
Gabriel knows that, during the week, Dieter wakes up at 6:00 a.m. During the weekend he doesn't set his alarm because he wants to sleep in, but Gabriel doesn't know that. So, when Saturday and Sunday morning comes around, and Dieter doesn't get out of bed around 6:00 a.m., Gabriel reminds him that it's time to get up. And believe me, he doesn't meow softly, he has quite a voice on him. A voice that says ... come on, get up, you're late!
Another reason why he meows (if you can call it that) is when he wants a drink from the sink. He has a full water bowl in the kitchen (I make sure that the bowl is full when I got to bed), but every now and then Gabe wants to drink from the bathroom tab. He meows, or shall he sings, so loud and so persistent until I get out of bed and comply with his request. When I get to the bathroom, I find him sitting on the toilet and then he looks at me and sings in a tone that says ... what took you so long?
Another reason why Gabriel flexes his vocal cord is when he wants to be on top of the cabinet. He has a fondness for high places, but getting there presents a bit of a problem ... he can't jump. He rather, he sometimes lacks the confidence to jump.
To get onto the wall unit, he has to jump on the cat tree, and for some reason Gabriel doesn't trust that thing. He will manage it ones, twice or even three times just fine, and then the fourth time he will doubt himself and doesn't dare the jump. So I have to lift him up, or at least steady the cat tree for him to get from a to b. To get my attention he produces a sound that almost says ... Help me! Please!!!

Album Review: Peruvian Flavors Dominate on Ciro Hurtado's 'Altiplano'
Bill Evans November 4, 2019
From the November/December 2019 issue of Acoustic Guitar | BY DERK RICHARDSON
After moving to the United States from Peru in 1975, Ciro Hurtado rose to prominence adding a third guitar to Strunz & Farah's sound for several years and recording and touring as a member of the longstanding Latin American folk jazz ensemble Huayucaltia. Of the many albums he's released along the way under his own name, Altiplano takes a relatively minimalist approach to revisiting and reinventing the Andean music of his homeland.
The album opens with "Macchu Picchu," an ensemble piece incorporating keyboards, bass, quena, zampoñas, bombos, shaker, charango, and Indian vocals by Siddhartha Belmannu. A similar grouping resurfaces on "Recuerdos," with Mariel Henry singing lead in Spanish, supported by vocalists Libby Harding and Cindy Harding (Hurtado's wife). Lovely as they are, those tunes do not push much beyond the mild-mannered parameters of world-folk fusion. The rest of the album presents Hurtado's fine flamenco-, classical-, and jazz-influenced guitar work in simpler settings: four solo acoustic instrumentals, one duet with Cindy Harding on flutes and percussion, two trios with vocals (one by Cindy Harding, one by Alexa Ramirez), and a quartet with quena, cello, and shaker.
Those who were introduced to Andean music by the classic tune "El Condor Pasa" by Los Incas and Simon & Garfunkel, will hear enough zampoña (pan flute) to stir the memory, for better or worse, but it's Hurtado's pristine nylon-string picking that carries the recording, right through the laid-back cover of "The House of the Rising Sun" that brings the album to an unruffled conclusion.

Two months of hell could be ahead for Brent Spence Bridge commuters

On Monday, commuters in Greater Cincinnati will find out what fate awaits them this summer.
Lanes and exits surrounding the Brent Spence Bridge will be periodically shut down this summer, the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet announced Tuesday. There will be a press conference at 11 a.m. on June 19 at Devou Park where KYTC will discuss the closures.
In a post on Facebook, the Fort Mitchell Fire Department said the closures would start on June 23 and would likely last until Nov. 15.
The fire department said the project will have a tremendous impact on daily travel, as construction will be around the clock. The department also posted a map of detours. On the map, there is web address listed, but the site is not live.
Facebook | @Fort Mitchell Fire Department
Beginning June 23rd at 9:00pm, and lasting until
The map lists a number of exits that will close, the ramp to I-71 from Fort Washington Way, the ramp to I-75 from Third Street and the ramp from I-71/I-75 to Erlanger, KY 236. Suggested detours include taking I-275 or I-471.
More: Brent Spence accident rates, traffic counts climb as bridge in national spotlight
"Significant impacts to traffic on the bridge and on routes that drivers will use to get around the bridge are expected for approximately 60 days," the statement from KYTC said.
The 53-year-old bridge is the focus of countlessdiscussions on infrastructure. The bridge is structurally sound and viable for long-term use, KYTC said, but it currently carries twice the traffic it was built to support.
"Discussions regarding construction of a new bridge, which would add capacity to our regional transportation network, are unrelated to this maintenance project and the existing bridge will continue to be operational regardless of whether or not a new bridge is built," KYTC said.

Standing for Black Lives Against Domestic Police Terrorism
Special To The ...September 07,2020
[Greenlining Institute ]
Gore-Mann: "In the 20th Century, freed Black Americans, who were domestic refugees fleeing state-funded terrorism in the great migration, were then alleged to have brought crime...and thus needed to be policed by Whites."

Greenlining Institute president Debra Gore-Mann says it is time we call racist police violence against Black people (like Jacob Blake) what it really is: domestic terrorism.
Things are not getting better.
On June 9, The Greenlining Institute held our community vigil for Black lives who were lost to police and community violence, cohosted with Brown Folx for Black Lives.
At that vigil, longtime activist and educator Ms. Angela Davis spoke to the local community about the long history of Black and Brown unity and how she hoped to see new modes of security for Black people from state violence and individual violence. Most importantly, Ms. Davis shared the words of June Jordan: "We are the ones we have been waiting for."
In the face of violence, we thought it important to make this statement of community solidarity.
We hoped our vigil would help lead toward a period of healing. But now there continues to spew forth direct and unequivocal evidence that racism in policing Black people is real and unrelenting. You would think that the sweeping, broad public awareness of the murders of George Floyd and Breonna Taylor (while we still wait for charges to be filed against the police officers in her tragic killing) would curtail police violence – but now we're faced with the incomprehensible shooting of Jacob Blake.
The shooting of Mr. Blake by a White police officer as he tried to enter his SUV where his children -- just three, five and eight years old -- were waiting has triggered yet another series of protests, both locally and nationally. The shooting of Blake looks even more horrifying when you consider that Kenosha police apparently let a White male vigilante gunman walk past them with a rifle over his shoulder and leave the scene after having killed two people who were protesting Blake's shooting -- even as members of the peaceful protest were yelling at police to arrest him because he had just shot people.
It may be time that our collective effort to address police violence towards Black communities expanded beyond police reform and framed cops' wanton killing of Black people as a form of domestic terrorism. That view of domestic terrorism would define White police and White community fear of Black people (specifically fear of Black men) as modern day slave codes.
Strong language? Sure. I believe events justify it. Mr. Jacob Blake Sr., Jacob's father, repeated what this nation has known for years and what The Sentencing Project stated in a 2015 report: "There are two criminal justice systems in America. A justice system for White people and a different justice system for Black people." We must end this national form of domestic terrorism against Black people constituted as our law enforcement institutions.
I realize that terrorism is a charged term, often used with the connotation of something that is "morally wrong." Terrorism is defined in the Code of Federal Regulations as "the unlawful use of force and violence against persons to intimidate or coerce a government, the civilian population, or any segment thereof in furtherance of political or social objectives." This federal regulation seems to best define what the Black community is experiencing every day through the use of force and police violence – except this form of violence, though morally reprehensible, is carried out by law enforcement.
Some of the first policing institutions Black Americans faced were the slave patrols tasked with chasing down runaways and preventing slave revolts -- resulting in calls for the preservation of law and order, or at least a version of it promoted by dominant economic and political interests. During and after Reconstruction, many local sheriffs functioned in a way analogous to these slave patrols, enforcing segregation and the disenfranchisement of freed slaves.
In the 20th Century, freed Black Americans, who were domestic refugees fleeing state-funded terrorism in the great migration, were then alleged to have brought crime, unemployment, vagrancy and drugs to their new communities, and thus needed to be policed by Whites. Those police forces are a relatively modern invention, sparked by notions of public order, driven in turn by economics and politics.
Policing as policy has been reinstituted as "slavery in all but its name" and as modern-day slave codes.
In recent weeks, key conservative leaders have energetically called for "law and order" -- a call which represents a wanton desire by parts of this nation to preserve economic interests, protect property and business and supersede protection and justice for Black Americans.
And President Donald Trump has since sent federal law enforcement to Kenosha, tweeting they were needed to combat "looting, arson, violence, and lawlessness on American streets."
We are witnessing at best an indifferent federal government, led by a self-articulated racist president, which has emboldened more White Americans to re-employ Black codes in the name of law and order.
In a BBC article, writer and journalist Barrett Holmes Pitner said it succinctly, "Racism towards Black people in America has largely nothing to do with immigration or nationality. There is no home country for African-Americans to connect to. Instead, it is essentially a status quo of domestic alienation, dehumanization, criminalization, and terror."
This form of domestic terrorism towards Black people is meant to divide our nation, to create a sense of othering. We must combat this tactic and remain united.

At the beginning of 2016, Mark Vroegop preached a nine-week series on lament at College Park Church. It taught many of us in our church a way of talking to God we didn't know existed. It gave us the language to voice our pain, hurt, and frustration.
As the book's subtitle suggests, part of the power behind the series was discovering lament as a vehicle to talk to God about raw emotions and conflicted thoughts rather than burying them or becoming bitter. Lament helped many of us take steps towards God rather than withdrawing from God during hard, unwanted circumstances. "Lament is a prayer in pain that leads to trust" (28). In learning to lament we learn to entrust God with our cares and concerns.
The book equips the Church by teaching us about the neglected rhythm of lament. We know we should praise and thank God, we should confess sin, and we should bring needs to God, but for many, the idea that we should also talk to God about our own pain or the surrounding injustices is foreign. This idea raises many common questions answered within these pages. Is lament the same as venting or complaining? Is raw lament a sign of distrust or faith? Can we be honest with God about what we feel? What things should we lament? Where is God in my suffering? Is there any hope in hardship?
We need lament because it's the way God's people talk to Him in our pain, confusion, and brokenness. It's the avenue of trusting in and turning to God with our hurts, knowing He alone can heal us and comfort us. If "lament is a road map to God's grace" (140), then this book helps puts the roadmap in our hands and tells us how to use it.
Dark Clouds, Deep Mercy doesn't focus on tough questions about evil or suffering—though it also doesn't avoid them (see especially chapter 5). It doesn't answer many of the "why" questions we have when the storms roll in. Instead, it shows us "who" matters even more than "why." Theology books suggesting answers to the why questions and giving biblical rationale behind evil, pain, brokenness, and injustice are necessary and I'm thankful for them, but they're rarely helpful to suffering people. This is a practical book you can give to people in pain.
That doesn't mean it will help every single person, and it can't provide a quick-fix speeding us through the process of sorrow and grief. But I think this book will be a balm for many because it provides easy on-ramps and ways to respond. It takes into account how weak and trembling we feel when in pain and it gives us clear, manageable baby-steps of faith.
This book not only tells us we can bring our complaints to God but we should do so, and it provides practical frameworks for doing so (such as the section "How to Complain the Right Way" on pages 52-54). It's the kind of book pastors can give to their church members, and Christians can give to friends and family. Any sufferer wondering where to go and what to do with their frustrations, aches, and heartbreak will benefit from it. I'm always looking for that kind of book, not only for myself, but as a practical resource to share with others.
As he shares in the Introduction, this book began years ago with Mark's own pain. His story, especially the loss of his daughter only a few days before her expected delivery, sparked his own discovery of the grace of lament. Because the book is birthed from pain rather than theory or even a sermon series, it's transparent and personal from cover to cover.
This journey to discover lament began with his own pain, but as a pastor, he learned to lament with others. In these pages, you don't learn about lament as a vague, general spiritual discipline but as an anchor steadying real people hammered by the heavy winds of life. You'll read stories of sorrow and hardship from the people in his church, people with circumstances that might differ from your own, but whose pain will resonate with your own experience. You will discover the grace of lament not as an idea to consider but as a personal practice, tried and tested by others, meant to be lived out.
Having served under him as a church staff member for several years, I can share that Mark isn't just a gifted preacher. The experience of some mega-churches having a gifted communicator with terrible people skills or distant from the average attendee has never been the case at College Park. Mark is both a preacher and a pastor, and that blend of gentle-shepherd and faithful-teacher shines through in his words full of both grace and truth.
He brings into the pulpit—and in this book, puts on paper—theology from Scripture beautifully married to the experience of living with people and knowing their sins, struggles, sorrows, hopes, and longings. He's led us as a church by leaning into lament in his own life, in church prayer meetings, and in staff and elder meetings. He not only preached to us about how to lament, but he practiced it in front of us, with real tears and real pain as a loving pastor does.
This is important not just because it's a testimony to Mark's character—which should matter for an author's credibility—but because it adds to the book. His familiarity with and wisdom on lament grew from being a pastor standing next to sufferers in their homes, our church, hospital rooms, cemeteries, and the many other hills a pastor walks along with his sheep. As a reader, we benefit from Mark's pastoral experience and heart that bleeds onto the page. He writes with the personal tone and pastoral warmth of a friend sitting across from you, not the lecturer standing in front of you. He doesn't ask you to deny or avoid the pain you're in, but he points you to God in it. "Lament helps us dare to hope again, and again, and again" (112).
Throughout this post, I've emphasized the practical nature of this book because I see that as where it sets itself apart from most other books on pain or suffering. There are immediate takeaways, baby steps of faith, concise and memorable statements to recall and reflect on, and clear guidance helping us learn to lament. But here, what's really practical is also robustly theological. We find help by returning to Scripture, remembering who God is and all the promises we have in Him. "Hope springs from truth rehearsed" (119).
Each chapter takes us to a specific part of Scripture, primarily the Psalms and Lamentations. Through their writings, David and Jeremiah let us into their pain, hurt, frustration, and confusion. They teach us how to talk to God with honesty while we trust in God with hope. They give us the freedom and encouragement we can pour out our hearts to God, but they also model what it looks like.
While the book teaches us how we might respond in lament, it's just as much about who God is and what we need to remember about him while we lament. Though through trials and sorrows it might seem like God has changed or hidden Himself from us, behind these Dark Clouds God is ready to pour out Deep Mercy. He is still there and He is still the same: sovereign over all, steadfast in love, near to the brokenhearted, fully aware and ever present. "Lament helps us interpret pain through the lens of God's character and his ultimate mercy. The power of lament is the opportunity to express our sorrow we feel while also anchoring our hearts in the truth we believe" (119).

Q: CSS remove table tr space or margin I can't make it to 0 margin/padding.
This is the pic:

You can see the red oval is the problem.
I want to make it to 0 margin but I don't know where is the problem.
This is my HTML CODE:

This is my CSS:
.content { position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; right: 0; }
.share table { width: 100%; border-collapse: separate; border-spacing: 0; }
.share table td { padding: 0; margin: 0; width: 25%; }

I've tried with border-collapse: collapse but didn't work as well.
And also with ul li, but gives me the same problem maybe worst.

Korea, Japan agree to cooperate on forced labor issues
By Shin Ji-hye
Published : Nov 16, 2022 - 18:39 Updated : Nov 16, 2022 - 18:39
President Yoon Suk-yeol shakes hands with Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida and takes a commemorative photo at the Korea-Japan summit held at a hotel in Phnom Penh, Cambodia on Sunday. (Yonhap)
President Yoon Suk-yeol and Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida agreed on "positive and active cooperation" on the issue of forced labor, a key issue in improving bilateral relations, at the Korea-Japan summit, South Korea's presidential office said Wednesday.
Speaking on condition of anonymity, a senior presidential official who attended the Korea-Japan summit, told reporters that Yoon and Kishida affirmed that discussions on the resolution of the forced labor issue were underway and they "well received" the progress of the consultation.
"Well received" means that the solution between the working-level officials of the two countries has been narrowed down to one or two solutions to some extent, he said.
Yoon met Kishida bilaterally on the sidelines of the ASEAN Summit on Sunday. The leaders of the two countries sat face to face two months after their first meeting at the UN General Assembly in New York in September.
The official said the atmosphere of the summit was that the two leaders wanted to find a way to "quickly resolve the problem" and "settle the problem quickly" over not only forced labor issues but also the thorny relationships between the two countries.
He said it can be interpreted as a very positive and active sense of unity.
The issues of Korea-Japan relations, export regulations, General Security of Military Information Agreement, forced labor and Japanese military sexual slavery are all connected, he said. "That is why President Yoon also said that a comprehensive solution is needed."

Watch this architecture student convert an old school bus into a home
Caleb shares his ideas about tiny living on his website - Copyright Isabella Osorno
By Doloresz Katanich • Updated: 19/12/2021
In 2020, architecture student Caleb Brackney bought an old school bus on Facebook and turned it into his very own home, in the US.
"I'm the oldest of seven kids and we spent most of the summer travelling out west to all the national parks and state parks. And so I've always considered myself a roamer," he says.
Caleb decided to turn his childhood holidays into his adult lifestyle by turning a bus into a tiny, mobile house. His aim was to gain first-hand experience on how to live more sustainably.
Inspired by a former mentor at school, Caleb bought the 26-year-old bus on Facebook Marketplace for $3,000 (€2,500) and spent another $7,000 (€5,760 ) on turning it into his home. He named it 'Roamer'.
"The name 'Roamer' also came from the town where I bought the bus. It was named Rome, Georgia."
A post shared by BUSLIFE WITH CALEB BRACKNEY (@roamerbus)
After eight months of hard graft and lessons learned the hard way, he moved in.
"I definitely underestimated how long it would take to take everything out," says Caleb. He recalls that there were "over 1000 screws holding the bus together," many of which were covered in rust.

Caleb plans to live in the tiny house with his dog Ivy for the next few years while he finishes his studies at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville.
"I want to be able to provide a perfect case study. I have enough to be happy. I'm content and live a really great life," he says.

Q: Modifying HTTP Call for Scheduler to Upload Dashboard Images I have created the HTTP method using this post. But I'm unsure of how to test it out. Say if I run this in the Developer Console for testing how Can I link it to taking the image out of the Salesforce Dashboard and uploading it into the Document Folder so that the Image can be send upload else where?

I already have the URL to those Dashboard images that I want to upload

How do I link this to getting a image from Salesforce Dashboard and uploading it into the Document Folder?

Codes
public class testFBInt {

public void exInt() {

  HttpRequest req = new HttpRequest();
    req.setEndpoint('https://test.salesforce.com/services/oauth2/token');
    req.setMethod('POST');
    req.setBody(buildHttpQuery(new Map<String, String> {
        'grant_type' => 'password',
        'username' => 'username',
        'password' => 'password',
        'client_id' => 'Consumer_id',
        'client_secret' => 'Consumer_key'
         }));

 }

  static String buildHttpQuery(Map<String, String> queryParams) {
    if (queryParams.isEmpty()) {
        return '';
    }

    String[] params = new String[] {};
    for (String k : queryParams.keySet()) {
        String v = EncodingUtil.urlEncode(queryParams.get(k), 'UTF-8');

        params.add(String.format('{0}={1}', new String[] { k, v }));
    }

    return String.join(params, '&');
 }

}

A: Based on your statement

I already have the URL to those Dashboard images that I want to upload

From here, there are 3 task you talked about. All these can be done in a scheduler job.
One: Fetching the image body as base64data.
Get the access token first. Reference: Alan's answer here
Lets say your URL is in variable - dashboardImageURL.
String base64Data;
httprequest req = new httprequest();
req.setEndpoint(dashboardImageURL);
req.setmethod('GET');
req.setHeader('Authorization', 'OAuth ' + access_token);
http http = new http();
httpresponse res = http.send(req);
Blob image = res.getBodyAsBlob();
base64Data =  EncodingUtil.base64Encode(image);

Two: Saving the image as Document in current org.
Document docatt = new Document();
docatt.Name = 'Chart 1.jpg';
docatt.Body = EncodingUtil.base64Decode(base64Data);
docatt.FOLDERID = '00l6F231005tqGi'; //Your folder id
docatt.IsPublic = true;

insert docatt;

You can have a scheduler job to run at any specific time with these 2 snippets to save the image from the URL.
Three: Sending the image to Facebook.
For this you will need to make another callout to facebook with the image body set in the httprequest body. This is not a part of the question, so I am just over-lining it. You can write it in a separate scheduler if you want to send it at a different time or in the same scheduler job.

Сентінельська мова - це неописана мова сентінельського народу на північному острові Сентінел на Андаманських та Нікобарських островах, Індія. Через відсутність контактів між сентінельцями та рештою світу, по суті, нічого не відомо про їхню мову чи її життєву силу.  Народ Сентінелу не допускає сторонніх людей на острів і, як правило, вороже ставиться до відвідувачів.  Дружні взаємодії були рідкістю.

Класифікація
Передбачається, що жителі острова говорять однією мовою і що вона є членом однієї з андаманських мовних сімей.  Виходячи з того, що мало відомо про схожість у культурі та технологіях та їх географічну близькість, передбачається, що їхня мова пов'язана з онганськими мовами, такими як Джарава, а не з великими андаманськими.  У документованих випадках, коли індивідууми, які говорять онганськими мовами, були доставлені до Північного Сентінельського острову для спроби зв'язку, не змогли розпізнати мову, на якій говорять жителі.  Було зафіксовано, що яравська та сентінельська мови взаємно нерозбірливі.

Статус
Сентінельська класифікуються як така, що перебуває під загрозою зникнення через незначну кількість носіїв, що відповідає невідомому населенню острова, яке, за оцінками, становить від 100 до 250 людей;   приблизна оцінка урядом Індії становить 100.

Home > Explainers > Indicative votes on Brexit
Indicative votes on Brexit
What are indicative votes?
Indicative votes are votes by MPs on a series of non-binding resolutions. They are a means of testing the will of the House of Commons on different options relating to one issue.
Why would an indicative vote happen?
The House of Commons rejected the Government's draft deal with the EU in January 2019, by a margin of 230 votes, and again on 12 March, by a smaller margin of 149. On 29 March the Government was defeated on the Withdrawal Agreement by 58 votes. This meant that Parliament was at an impasse: MPs did not support the Government's proposed deal, but had also previously voted in favour of a motion which ruled out a no deal Brexit.
In the two years since the Government triggered Article 50, MPs had tabled numerous amendments to government motions and bills. While some of these had set out their preferred Brexit approach, many of the more recent amendments focused on the process of leaving the EU rather than the outcome itself. There was therefore no clarity over whether there was a sustainable majority in favour of any particular Brexit outcome.
The House of Commons Exiting the EU Select Committee suggested a series of indicative votes to test the sentiment of MPs and narrow down the range of options.
On 25 March MPs voted to take control of parliamentary business in order to make time to hold indicative votes on different Brexit options. Votes were held on 27 March, and while no option commanded the support of a majority of MPs, they did give an indication of where parliamentary opinion lay. A second round of votes were held on 1 April, in an attempt to narrow down the options further, but these also failed to produce a majority for any of the options. On 3 April, MPs voted against holding a third round of indicative votes.
Why might further indicative votes on #Brexit happen?
Since the Government has not asked MPs to vote again on any Brexit deal, and with cross-party talks between the Government and the Labour Party yet to make substantial progress, further indicative votes could be used in an attempt to break the Brexit deadlock.
Who can arrange indicative votes?
Indicative votes can be proposed by either the Government or MPs.
The Government can choose to offer indicative votes by tabling a motion outlining the options for MPs to consider and the order in which they will be voted on (or, alternatively, a process through which the options and order could be decided on – for instance, by a committee of MPs).
MPs can also propose their own set of indicative votes, for instance by amending a motion in the Commons. Such amendments would need to be selected by the Speaker, and could provide for indicative votes in one of two ways:
Directly, by outlining the options for MPs to consider and the order in which they will be voted on (or, alternatively, a process through which the options and order could be decided on).
Indirectly, by voting to give MPs control of the agenda in the Commons – providing an opportunity for MPs to schedule indicative votes at a future date. Such an amendment, tabled by Sir Oliver Letwin, was approved by MPs on 25 March, by 329 votes to 302, paving the way for the indicative votes held on 27 March. The business motion also gave MPs control of parliamentary business on 1 April, and MPs then voted on another business motion which outlined the process for the second round of indicative votes on 1 April.
How does the voting process work?
Different voting methods can be used for indicative votes, and which method is chosen can impact how likely the process will reveal MPs' preferences.
The table below illustrates the different voting methods and some of the issues they pose. Indicative votes have traditionally been run using Option 2, although concerns that this method would give too much discretion to the Speaker, encourage tactical voting, and fail to identify an option commanding the support of a majority in the Commons led MPs to adopt a different voting method for the indicative votes on Brexit.
As a result, the first round of Brexit indicative votes, held on 27 March, used Option 3. As Sir Oliver Letwin told MPs, this first set of votes was an attempt to identify a shortlist of options to be included in the second round of indicative votes, should no option command a majority in the first round.
It had been thought that Option 4 or 5 would be used for the second round of votes, as these methods are more likely to identify a single option commanding the support of a majority of MPs. However, in the event Option 3 was used again.
Whether the outcome of indicative votes is conclusive depends on the options selected for a vote, how parties whip their MPs to vote, the degree of tactical voting by MPs, and the voting system used.
Some have argued that the indicative votes held on Brexit would have worked better had a different voting system been used – either exhaustive voting, the alternative vote, or majority judgement.

How to run indicative votes on Brexit (Updated: 06 Jun 2019)
What needs to be considered when deciding which options to include in the Brexit indicative votes?
For indicative votes to be effective in breaking the Brexit impasse, a balance must be struck between ensuring MPs are satisfied with the range of options they can choose between and making sure the options offered have a realistic chance of being negotiated with the EU. MPs must also be willing to compromise.
There were also concerns with the indicative votes that they confused matters of process (such as whether to hold a second referendum) with matters of substance on both the Withdrawal Agreement (such as whether to attempt to amend the backstop) and the Political Declaration (such as whether to seek a more specific commitment to a customs union or single market 2.0). There was a feeling that these different options meant MPs were arguing at cross-purposes about a number of discreet issues.
Does the Government have to accept the outcome of indicative votes?
The Government is not usually bound by indicative votes, unless it has agreed to beforehand.
Even if indicative votes demonstrated a parliamentary majority in favour of a particular Brexit stance, there is no guarantee that the Government would adopt it in negotiations with the EU, although the political pressure to do so would be very high.
The Prime Minister said to MPs that she was "sceptical" about the indicative votes process, and that while the Government would engage constructively with MPs, it would not commit to delivering the outcome of any indicative votes.
However, should further indicative votes take place, MPs could take the unprecedented move of trying to pass legislation directing the Government to implement, or attempt to implement, the outcome of the indicative votes, even if the Government opposed the direction proposed by MPs.
Have indicative votes been used as a tactic before Brexit?
In 2003 MPs were presented with seven different options for reforming the House of Lords, and were able to vote on each individual option. No option garnered a majority among MPs.
However, the 2003 votes were only advisory and did not relate to a motion giving something statutory effect (as any indicative vote prior to the meaningful vote would do). This means that there is no direct precedent for indicative votes being used in this way.
Are indicative votes whipped?
Indicative votes could be free votes for MPs of some or all parties – meaning that MPs would not be whipped and required to follow a party line. It is likely that the votes would have to be free, as was the case in 2003, if the purpose of them was to understand the views of MPs.

FEVZİ (FAWZĪ) EFENDİ, MEḤMED, Ottoman author who wrote some books in Persian (b. Tavas district of Denizli province, 1826; d. Istanbul, 28 Rabīʿ II 1318/25 August 1900). Fevzi Efendi studied with a number of scholars, including Evliyâzâde Ali Rızâ (Awlīyāʾzada ʿAlī-Reżā) Efendi in Manisa. Fevzi Efendi was appointed mufti of Edirne ca. 1847 and became known as "Edirne Müftüsü" because of his long tenure in that office.
Fevzi Efendi wrote more than sixty works, mostly in Arabic and on religious topics, two of which were all or partly in Persian. The first is Bolbolestān, a work in the style of Golestān and its imitations. Written in flawless and easily-understandable Persian, it was published in Istanbul in 1310/1894 and dedicated to the Ottoman sultan ʿAbd-al-Ḥamīd II (r. 1876-1909). It is Sufi in character and contains stories about famous saints and the qualities of sainthood. Essentially a prose work, like the Golestān, it adds one to three appropriate couplets at the end of each story. Although the author states at the outset that it has eight parts (nehāl) inspired by the eight heavens, there are in fact only two parts. The second book, Meftāḥ al-najāt, is a commentary in three languages (Arabic, Persian, and Turkish) on the Qaṣīdat al-borda by Šaraf-al-Dīn Būṣīrī (d. ca. 694/1294). To facilitate understanding of its couplets, separate prose explanations and translations of them were included. The text, written in a lively, pretty, and open style, was published in Istanbul in 1284/1867-68.

Ossipee Rite Aid robbery suspect being held on high bail

OSSIPEE — A Center Ossipee man is being held on $100,000 cash bail after he was arrested and charged with robbing the Ossipee Rite Aid last Wednesday, Dec. 29, 2010.
According to police, David Hall, 27, of Center Ossipee entered the store around 5:30 p.m., made his way to the pharmacy counter at the rear of the store and handed the pharmacist a note. The note read that Hall had a gun and threatened harm if the pharmacist did not comply with his demand for drugs. Police say no weapon was shown, however.
Surveillance video from the store showed the suspect entering the store wearing a black puffy winter coat and dark stocking cap with his face visible. The second security camera at the pharmacy counter shows the same man concealing his face and handing over the note.
Police received several tips after the videos were shown on WMUR-TV Channel 9. Acting on information received, police converged on the Beech River Circle area of Center Ossipee on Friday, Dec. 31, to arrest Hall.
Following a three-hour pursuit through the snow-covered ground into the woods, along the railroad tracks, out through the Archer's Pond and pit area, Hall was arrested at a house on Chickville Road in Ossipee. Ossipee Police Department's K9 Ronja and handler Sgt. Joseph Duchesne are credited with following Hall's track.
Just as other K9 teams from state police and Moultonborough were being requested to relieve them after miles of walking, Hall was spotted and arrested. Several officers from Carroll County Sheriff's Department, NH State Police as well as Effingham, Freedom and Madison police departments assisted in the search and arrest.
According to police, the case remains under investigation and more arrests are possible. In addition to being held on the burglary charge, Hall is also charged with parole violations since he was on parole at the time of his arrest.
Hall is due in court Jan. 12 for a probable cause hearing.
This is the second time the Ossipee Rite Aid has been robbed. In March 2009, the pharmacy was held up during business hours by a partially-disguised man who made off with 600 Oxycontin pills. Surveillance photos led to the arrest a few weeks later of Justin Torr, 23, of Rochester, and Destiny Murphy, 29, of Milton, who was charged as Torr's accomplice.
In May 2009, the store was burglarized around 3 a.m. when thieves broke into the store and filled a bag with drugs from a locked cabinet. Alerted by the store's security alarm, police responded and searched the area for three suspects. Joseph Savio of Lynn, Mass. was found lying in a swamp. He pled guilty to the crime and was sentenced in March 2010 to a year in federal prison for his part in the crime.
