Audio Book Summary
'This book is a marvel. The Fact of a Body is equal parts gripping and haunting and will leave you questioning whether any one story can hold the full truth.' -- Celeste Ng, author of the New York Times bestselling Everything I Never Told You
Before Alexandria Marzano-Lesnevich begins a summer job at a law firm in Louisiana, working to help defend men accused of murder, she thinks her position is clear. The child of two lawyers, she is staunchly anti-death penalty. But the moment convicted murderer Ricky Langley's face flashes on the screen as she reviews old tapes-the moment she hears him speak of his crimes -- she is overcome with the feeling of wanting him to die. Shocked by her reaction, she digs deeper and deeper into the case. Despite their vastly different circumstances, something in his story is unsettlingly, uncannily familiar.
Crime, even the darkest and most unsayable acts, can happen to any one of us. As Alexandria pores over the facts of the murder, she finds herself thrust into the complicated narrative of Ricky's childhood. And by examining the details of Ricky's case, she is forced to face her own story, to unearth long-buried family secrets, and reckon with a past that colors her view of Ricky's crime.
But another surprise awaits: She wasn't the only one who saw her life in Ricky's.
An intellectual and emotional thriller that is also a different kind of murder mystery, THE FACT OF A BODY is an audiobook not only about how the story of one crime was constructed -- but about how we grapple with our own personal histories. Along the way it tackles questions about the nature of forgiveness, and if a single narrative can ever really contain something as definitive as the truth. This groundbreaking, heart-stopping work, ten years in the making, shows how the law is more personal than we would like to believe -- and the truth more complicated, and powerful, than we could ever imagine.

Painfully repetitive, which cause to lose interest to very painful and sad story.

I thought the book was well written and I liked the way the author paralleled the stories of the subjects /characters and herself. I wasn't a fan of the narrator herself, though. No emotion in her voice. Although the story content was fascinating I found her voice causing me to lose interest in the story.

well narrated and well written but the subject is beyond disturbing terrible subject matter: child molesters and children being molested oi vay
Hard to hear but very insightful.

Setting The Wheels Of Sustainability In Motion - Moments That Matter (By Muhammed Muheisen)
Tue, 14 Dec 2021 10:21:54 +0100
By Muhammed Muheisen, Canon (www.Canon-CNA.com) Ambassador, National Geographic Photographer and Founder of Everyday Refugees
There is no denying that photography has an immense power to evoke emotions, move our minds, touch our hearts and inspire us to take an action. It is the universal language that lets you connect with others without even uttering a word. While my rendezvous with photography happened by chance, I am immensely grateful I discovered this world full of creativity, passion and power…power to create an impact, make a difference and turn our world into a better place for all. Photography found me as a young child and captivated me beyond belief, my first encounter was with my grandmother's Polaroid camera which to me back then was like a magic box, I would click a button and my magic box would freeze that moment turning it into a picture. That's the power of photography, it can freeze time, eternalize a moment and give us the ability to relive the moments that truly matter to us. Not to forget the impact it can have on you, a photograph can compel you to take action or make you cry or even transport you back to the happiest moment of your lives. If someone's looking for a proof of magic, the elusive art of photography may just fit the bill.
Lighting Up Hope
They say a picture speaks a thousand words and in my experience as a photographer, I couldn't agree more. Growing up in Jerusalem, I was not always surrounded by a playful and happy environment but photography let me escape that. I was a kid with a camera in the middle of chaos however through photography, I found smiles, colors, happiness and most of all an undying spirit of hope in every scenario. Not matter how grim, there was always hope and my camera gave me the power to not just capture this hope into a picture but to spread it world-wide. That's when I knew I had to convert my passion into my profession, to be a messenger and give people eyes to see what's hidden, to help them find an extra perspective. I went on to study journalism and political science to deepen my understanding on the humanitarian aspect of society and how I could combine that with my passion for photography to become a storyteller and to create something that would inspire people to act.
Chain-Reaction Of Positivity
Everyone around has a story to tell, big or small, nevertheless they are impactful stories that allow us to learn from each other and photography lets you express that, it empowers you to bring these stories to the center-stage. And that's exactly what we are trying to achieve through Canon's 'Moments that Matter' competition, to give people an insight into the world of sustainability through the eyes of participating photographers in our collective bid to drive meaningful change for a bright future. My own professional journey started with documenting conflict and war-zones which meant misery, destruction and loss although somewhere along the journey, I found hope and decided to change gears, to document daily lives of people and invoke a sense of joy and cheer through that. Canon's initiative with Moments that Matter somewhere walks along the same lines, indeed we are speaking of a grave issue related to sustainability but we are also hoping to spark that positive chain-reaction to enable people to see that there is still hope and light at the end of the tunnel.
Enable, Empower And Engage
The first ten years of my career involved me traveling to various different places around the world to cover and document humanitarian crisis such as wars and as heartbreaking it was, I noticed the biggest victims of these calamities were none other than children. So I decided to bring their stories to the world by documenting children affected in these areas of conflicts because they were not just stories, they were voices that needed to be heard. As I began to put more work out in front of the world, people started noticing and paying attention to these children who were in dire need of help and wanted to engage in acts that would bring some sort of relief for those involved in conflict. As the voices were slowly being heard, people started coming forward to provide support and sustenance, thus giving birth to 'Everyday Refugees Foundation' where our aim is to support children, refugees, local communities and people displaced internally by war, discrimination or poverty. The idea is to raise awareness on these extremely crucial global issues through photography, exhibitions, lectures and more in order to empower people. What's noteworthy is the ripple-effect that generates when you decide to do something as simple as taking a photograph, our actions can initiate a series of events igniting a meaningful movement. This is the reason why more companies need to come forward in doing their part for the society and launch empowerment initiatives like 'Moments that Matter' that can move the spotlight on dominant issues of today.
Sustainability is perhaps the most important discussion we need to involve ourselves in today, to understand and devise ways in which we can meet our current needs without compromising the need of our future generations. Photography plays an essential role here, it allows us to protect what matters today whilst at the same time enabling us to spread awareness about what will matter tomorrow.
While 'Moments that Matter' has been dubbed as a competition for photographers to showcase their talent in various arenas of sustainability, it is far more than that. It is an initiative tying us all together be it the photographers, judges, audiences or even the company itself in making a difference, in raising our voices to have the most critical discussion of today that will indisputably shape our futures. We are looking at capturing moments that matter not only today but also tomorrow.
The four carefully conceptualized categories for 'Moments that Matter' provide us with an unique opportunity to reflect light on some of the most important concerns as well as areas of development and improvement for us and the coming generations. 'Moments that save us', one of the categories from the competition sheds lights on documenting moments that speak about nature regeneration and how we can take a leaf out of nature's book to innovate, design and develop our world. Case in point being earth's regeneration during COVID-19 pandemic, nature taking over to rehabilitate itself, we are looking for such moments that can inspire and educate the coming generations.
The second category 'Moments that heal us' is all about exploring that connection between healthy environment and healthy humans. People and planet are intrinsically connected and this category lets us focus on creating a symbiotic relationship where people and planet can both benefit from each other. Whereas 'Moments that make us' is all about exploring the beauty of biodiversity and steps needed to combat climate change and its adverse effects. 'Moments that develop us' category is targeted towards creating abundance and economic opportunities through circular economy or conservation of natural resources. The idea is to show a larger picture through this category on how companies are serving the planet and bridging the gap between economics and the environment. All in all, our vision behind 'Moments that Matter' is to invoke a sense of responsibility amongst all stakeholders of society to create a better planet for today and tomorrow.
Shared Responsibilty
Ultimately, supporting young aspiring photographers who want to make a difference through their art is a shared responsibility that companies and organizations need to embrace in order to become catalysts of change and empowerment. Having worked as a photographer for so many years, I can vouch for the fact that it is not easy to break-in to the industry but at the same time, if you have dedication and determination, windows of opportunities will open up. However, it is essential to utilize the tools we have today such as social media as well as competitions like 'Moments that Matter' to ensure our message is reaching the right audience. Photographers and companies need to come together and join hands to spread awareness thereby setting the wheel of change in motion. Through Canon's Moments that Matter initiative, we are setting the wheels of sustainability in motion today to create a positive impact for tomorrow.

20 Famous Contemporary Directors and Their Favorite Movies
Posted on June 18, 2017 March 26, 2019 by Geonard Yleana
When asked about his favorite movies, Al Pacino momentarily drew a blank. In contrast, when Damien Chazelle was asked the same question, he had a ready answer. Okay, maybe it's just old age, but the point is, directors are movie junkies from the get-go. Why else would they be directors, right?
Ask Quentin Tarantino or Martin Scorsese and their eyes would light up and tell you what movies they love, or made them want to be a director in the first place. Never trust a director who couldn't do that. Here, we present 20 directors and their favorite movies—many are bona fide classics, some are curious and obscure (for the avid movie hunter), but all of them are definitely worth checking out.
1. Wes Anderson
His movies are known for their myriad of characters—kooky and quirky, and there seems not to be one legally sane person in Wes Anderson's world. Then there's color. Wild and loud palettes, swatches of Pantone swatches in costumes and set decorations. Immaculately beautiful. You'd want to spend your afternoon tea in a Wes Anderson world. His greatest masterstroke, "The Grand Budapest Hotel", is the best picture of 2014… to some.
"Rushmore" (1996), "The Royal Tenenbaums" (2001), "The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou" (2004), "The Fantastic Mr. Fox" (2009) and "Moonrise Kingdom" (2012) are some of Anderson's finest works. But, do his favorite films influence his métier?
In the movie choices he gave to the Criterion Collection, almost all of them are black and white films: "The Earrings of Madame de…" (1953), "Au hasard Balthazar" (1966), and three Shohei Imamura movies— "Pigs and Battleships" (1961), "The Insect Woman" (1963), and "Intentions of Murder" (1964). Add to the list "The Taking of Power by Louis XIV" (1966), "The Spy Who Came in from the Cold" (1965), "The Friends of Eddie Coyle" (1973), "Classe tous risques" ("The Big Risk") (1960), "L'enfance nue" ("Naked Childhood") (1968), "Mishima" (1985), and "The Exterminating Angel" (1962).
His other favorites as related to Rotten Tomatoes: "A Clockwork Orange" (1971), "Trouble in Paradise" (1932), Toni (1935), "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?" (1966), and "Rosemary's Baby" (1968). Anderson on "Rosemary's Baby": "One movie that I often find myself going back to is Rosemary's Baby. This has always been a big influence on me, or a source of ideas; and it's always been one of my favorites."
2. Pedro Almodovar
How could he make movies about women so well? Spanish director Pedro Almodovar has built a careful niche of films that reveals the deepest, most unguarded psyche of the female species—his 'cinema of women' that broke out with "Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown" (1988), followed by "Tie Me Up! Tie Me Down!" (1990) and "Live Flesh" (1997). After "All About My Mother" (1999), Almodovar became a household name. "Talk to Her" (2002), "Volver" (2006) and "The Skin I Live In" (2011) solidified his status, and look, a lot of Spanish actresses now have careers.
Almodovar likes classic movies and it's quite expected for the following melodramas to be on his list: "Leave Her to Heaven" (1945), "Letter from an Unknown Woman" (1948), "All About Eve" (1950), "Journey to Italy" (1954), "Senso" (1954), and "Splendor in the Grass" (1961).
Some foreign films include: "The Rules of the Game" (1939), "Rashomon" (1950), "Les Doulos" (1962), "8 ½" (1963), "Red Desert" (1964), "Le Cercle Rouge" (1970), and "Amarcord" (1973). Quite the obvious, Georges Franju's "Eyes Without a Face" (1960) is an inspiration for "The Skin I Live In". And it wouldn't be complete without Luis Buñuel, his early inspiration: "El" (1953), "The Criminal Life of Archibaldo Dela Cruz" (1955), and "Viridiana" (1961).
Spicing up this list are Almodovar's 13 great Spanish films: "Calle Mayor" (1956), "El cebo" (1958), "The Executioner" (1963), "Aunt Tula" (1964), "Strange Voyage" (1964), "Peppermint Frappe" (1967), "Poachers" (1975), "Rapture" (1979), "El sur" (1983), "Jamon, Jamon" (1992), "Thesis" (1996), "Blancanieves" (2012), and "Magical Girl" (2014).
He says of Alejandro Amenábar's "Thesis": "Amenábar debuted in style with this skillful thriller about the market for violent images, in this case videos of real murders and torture, or snuff movies. Amenábar concocts an inspired teen horror film, anchored by a solid script, that constantly springs surprises throughout its two hours."
3. Kathryn Bigelow
In her Oscar acceptance speech, Kathryn Bigelow, the first woman to win Best Director for "The Hurt Locker" (also 2009's Best Picture), thanked her fellow nominees whom she said had inspired her. One of them is James Cameron, her former husband of two years, who became famous for the sci-fi action movie "The Terminator" (1984), which happens to be one of Bigelow's favorite films. "It's a game changer," Bigelow said of the movie.
She, herself, is a game-changer when she started making films. Her filmography reads like the resume of an action director: "Near Dark" (1987), "Blue Steel" (1989), "Point Break" (1991), with three exceptional war movies – "K-19: The Widowmaker" (2002), "The Hurt Locker" and "Zero Dark Thirty" (2012).
These are movies set in a man's world in theatres of war. For a woman to direct such films requires more than talent and vision, but also grit and being able to think like a man. It is no wonder that some of Bigelow's influences come from movies of the type: Sam Peckinpah's violent "The Wild Bunch" (1969) and Scorsese's "Mean Streets" (1973).
"I saw 'The Wild Bunch' on a double bill with 'Mean Streets', midnight at the Waverly Place Cinema on Bleecker Street in New York [in the 1970s]. Those two played on a double bill. I was in New York, I had a studio and I was basically a practicing artist, working with various art groups—art and language, kind of conceptual arts, political arts. We were doing environments, we were doing installations, performance pieces… and I stumbled into this incredible double bill. And it was a life-changing experience. I thought they were just extraordinary," Bigelow told Rotten Tomatoes.
Some of the other movies she cites as influences: "Lawrence of Arabia", Kurosawa's "Dersu Uzala", "Kagemusha" and "Ran", and all of Hitchcock's from "The Birds" to "Notorious", "Psycho" to "Rear Window".
4. Tim Burton
Underground places, creepy houses, misfits, spooks, shadows, nightmares – the world of Tim Burton is, in cinema, like a secret door with a secret password. In all of his movies, like "Beetlejuice" (1988), "Batman" (1989), "Sleepy Hollow" (1999), "Edward Scissorhands" (1990), "Alice in Wonderland" (2010) and "The Nightmare Before Christmas" (1993), the director's signature is all over the place. Gothic, impressionist, quaint, whimsical, magical – it's a crazy combination and boy, where does he get his inspirations?
Mostly, he gets them from children's books with dark themes, haunting tales, and urban legends. In movies, when asked about his favorites, Burton's top of mind are the Japanese monster movie "War of the Gargantuas" (1970) and the Charlton Heston post-apocalyptic movie "The Omega Man" (1971). "The thing I liked about this is that the vampire characters were played by real people," he said. "They had a really cool look to them – black robes, dark glasses. Not Charlton Heston with his shirt off. I was kind of obsessed by him, because he's like the greatest bad actor of all time."
His other favorites are horror films like "Dracula A.D. 1972" and "Horror of Dracula" (1958) with Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing, the original "Wicker Man" (1973) also with Lee; sci-fi like "The Thing from Another World" (1951) and "Journey to the Center of the Earth" (1959), and films by legendary stop-motion artist Ray Harryhausen like "Jason and the Argonauts" (1963) and "The Golden Voyage of Sinbad" (1973) which inspired his own stop-motion animated films.
Amazingly, just out of character, Burton's go-to movie when he's having a bad day is the war movie "Where Eagles Dare" (1968). "It's got Clint Eastwood and Richard Burton, which is an odd combination. It's the snow, the setting, the Nazis…"
5. Damien ChazelleHe's only 32, he's an Oscar winner, and he already made two movies that are now being included in every millennial's 'favorite films' list. "Whiplash" (2014) and "La La Land" (2016) are both about music, the latter being a straight-out musical and won the Oscar Best Picture… for just a couple of minutes. Chazelle, the boy wonder with a soft heart for musicals, came out of nowhere into the glitz and glamour of Hollywood as part of a new wave of young filmmakers. Okay, so he's in La La Land.
Let's slide on to Chazelle's favorite Los Angeles movies, and mind you, not all of them are musicals: "Sunset Boulevard" (1950), "Singin' in the Rain" (1952), "A Star is Born" (1954), "Rebel Without a Cause" (1955), "The Long Goodbye" (1973), "Chinatown" (1974), "Killer of Sheep" (1977), "Pulp Fiction" (1994), "Heat" (1995), and "Boogie Nights" (1997). "Pulp Fiction", in particular, is an inspiration for "La La Land". Says Chazelle, "…one of the greatest movies ever for how it uses unglamorous L.A. locations and yet somehow completely creates its own unique world."
"La La Land" was inspired by several movies other than "Pulp Fiction". For example, the idea of the ending – the big what-if – came from the 1927 movie "7th Heaven". Overall, "La La Land" is Chazelle's version, a dream finally coming true, of his favorite movie of all time: Jacques Demy's "Umbrellas of Cherbourg" (1964). He told CBS: "If I had to send a movie to aliens to kind of, like, describe what cinema is, what this thing called cinema is, I think that's the movie that doesn't even make sense on paper in a way because it's opera but not opera, it's real but completely fake, it's happy but heartbreaking. Just doesn't make sense until you see it as a movie. It's the most shattering, transporting work of art I've seen in any medium."
His other favorite musicals: "Love Me Tonight" (1932), "The Band Wagon" (1953), "Touki Bouki" (1973), and "Beau Travail" (1999), which Chazelle describes as: "… not really a 'musical,' per se, but this movie by Claire Denis contains one of the single greatest dance scenes in the history of cinema." Count in "Summer Stock" (1950) as well: "This Gene Kelly – Judy Garland two-hander is all kinds of dazzling, but the scene that gets me the most here is the movie's quietest. Kelly is alone on a stage, and he notices that one of the floorboards creaks. There's also a stray newspaper that has fallen. The creaky board and the newspaper – that's all Kelly needs to concoct an absolutely magical movie moment."
6. Joel and Ethan Coen
They say that the Coen brothers have yet to make a movie that sucks. Consider their films: "Blood Simple" (1984), "Raising Arizona" (1987), "Miller's Crossing" (1990), "Barton Fink" (1991), "The Hudsucker Proxy" (1994), "Fargo" (1996), "The Big Lebowski" (1998), "O Brother, Where Art Thou?" (2000), "The Man Who Wasn't There" (2001), "Intolerable Cruelty" (2003), "The Ladykillers" (2004), "No Country for Old Men" (2007), "Burn After Reading" (2008), "A Serious Man" (2009), "True Grit" (2010), "Inside Llewyn Davis" (2013), and "Hail, Caesar!" (2016) Really, where does 'suck' apply here? Okay, you got me at "Hudsucker". But, hey, it's got Paul Newman. Maybe, "Hudsucker" and "The Ladykillers", but, they'd still fall along the area of 'mixed' reviews.
The Coens' favorite movies surely don't suck. They balance between the classics of old Hollywood and the golden '70s: "Mr. Deeds Goes to Town" (1936), "Sullivan's Travels" (1941), "The Palm Beach Story" (1942), "Detour" (1945), "The Third Man" (1949), "The Night of the Hunter" (1955), "Separate Tables" (1958), "Pillow Talk" (1959), "Psycho" (1960), "Dr. Strangelove" (1964), "Repulsion" (1965), "Rosemary's Baby" (1968), "Salesman" (1968), "A Clockwork Orange" (1971), "The Long Goodbye" (1973), "Chinatown" (1974), "The Tenant" (1976), and "The Shining" (1980). Some war movies and Westerns are also included: "The Guns of Navarone" (1961), "Hell in the Pacific" (1968), "Where Eagles Dare" (1968), "Once Upon a Time in the West" (1968), "The Life and Times of Judge Roy Bean" (1972), and "The Outlaw Josey Wales" (1976), as well as foreign classics: "Il Bidone" (1955), "Knife in the Water" (1962) and "High and Low" (1963).
They're also influenced by some not easily recognized or not as popular films: George Cukor's "The Chapman Report" (1962), the Bob Hope vehicle "A Global Affair" (1964), Robert Downey Sr.'s "Greaser's Palace" (1972) and "Boeing Boeing" (1965), a screwball comedy with Jerry Lewis and Tony Curtis. Whether they suck or not is entirely up to you.

Q: Apply javascript for mobile or desktop only I have 2 scripts one that I would like to use for any screen width less than 990px and another for anything greater.  These scripts come from a 3rd party and only work on the actual domain (so testing will be hard for anyone else).
Here are the scripts they gave me:
For mobile:
<script>

        t.parentNode.insertBefore(s, t);

    </script>

For Desktop:
<script>
    (function(){
                var t = document.getElementsByTagName("script")[0];
                var s = document.createElement("script"); s.async = true;
                s.src = "//integration.nfusionsolutions.biz/client/jh/widget/module/spottableextended/nfspotextended";
                t.parentNode.insertBefore(s, t);
    })();
    </script>

I have tried this for the desktop view but I know something is off.
For Desktop:
 <script>

        (function(){
        var viewportWidth = $(window).width();
        if (viewportWidth > 900) {

                    t.parentNode.insertBefore(s, t);
       } })();
        </script>

Any suggestions?

A: If you're not using jQuery, you can't use a jQuery method. Use the following condition instead:
if (window.innerWidth > 900) { // code for large screens

A: You can use sompething like this, if you have size screen informations :
if ( $(window).width() > 990) {
  //Add your javascript for large screens here
}
else {
  //Add your javascript for small screens here
}

EDIT : if really jQuery can't be used, you can try to use :
window.innerWidth

to get the width. But it'll depend too of the resized window...!

3,000 Hits!
I could write DAILY Blogs about 鈴木 一朗 (Suzuki, Ichiro) or Ichiro as he's commonly called...
Every time he's up to bat... it's history in the making...
On Tuesday against the Texas Rangers, Ichiro made his 3,000th total hit (1,278 in Japan, 1,722 in America) , in the first inning against Luis Mendoza.
After taking his base and having his Total displayed on the board, he received a standing ovation from the Texas fans which he acknowledged with a tip of his hat.
In Japan, only one player has reached the 3,000 mark 張本 勲 (Isao Harimoto), (Born in Hiroshima, Japan; Nuclear Bomb survivor, Baseball Analyst, Japanese Baseball Hall of Fame member, recipient of the South Korean Moko prize for excellence in sports, and outspoken Hibakusha Movement member)
Isao Harimoto, who hold 3,085 hits, praised Ichiro saying "Congratulations. As far as hitting technique goes, neither Tetsuharu Kawakami (a former pro baseball player known as a batting genius) nor I can match him. It's a marvelous accomplishment!"
"The 3,000th hit is just a passing point for Ichiro. If the number of hits can be combined in the U.S. and Japan, I hope he will aim at the 4,256 hits achieved by Pete Rose, or even 3,000 hits in the Major Leagues alone," Harimoto said.
Pre-game, Jim Riggleman (Mariners Manager) said "That's a tremendous achievement for the short time he's been over here," "I think that's the most (hits) anyone's ever had in that period of time."
Currently the 34yrold Ichiro is batting a .298 Batting average (.308 at home, .288 away) with little signs of slowing down.
Really, I don't know what else I can really write...
For further reading see My last post on Ichiro , Mainichi News , Wikipedia (and their LOVELY Photo Gallery) , or just check out his stats on ESPN.
One thing is for certain... I'm sure the hopes and dreams of many school Baseball teams, have become Bigger and Brighter...

50th Anneversary Lego Celebrations held in Japan
A Lego Superkids competition was held in Tokyo this week and the winners of the contest have been announced.
The theme for the competition was "life fifty years from now". Many children under the age of twelve competed to design suitable entries to meet the theme, but ultimately it was this robotic dog (right) that stole the show.
Kodama, a ten year old boy from Saitama Prefecture (left), designed the dog with a tail that he imagines can plug in and charge the dog, while a red jewel on his colar will light up during charging.
The competition was held to celebrate the 50th anneversary of the Lego company.

Japanese TV: Pokemon bullet trains
For ichi!
(Via JapanProbe)
At Ueno Station, Pokemon character Pikachu made an appearance and saw off smiling children boarding the bullet trains.
"I was surprised to see Pikachu, but I really like the character so I'm happy," said one 7-year-old boy who was traveling to Iwate Prefecture with his family on the first day of operation. "It's a cool bullet train," he added.
JR East is operating four decorated trains on the Tohoku and Joetsu Shinkansen lines and one on each of the Yamagata, Akita and Nagano Shinkansen lines.
Japanese TV: Family gets Tokyo Disney Sea all to itself
(Via JapanProbe) For the Fukuyo family, Friday was the chance of a lifetime: They had the entire Tokyo DisneySea theme park to themselves for 2 1/2 hours, with no waits for all the rides they could handle.
Yasuhisa Fukuo, 38, his wife, Sumiko, 33, and their 5-year-old triplets were chosen by lottery from 1,609 applicants for the event to mark the Tokyo Disney Resort's 25th anniversary.
At 7:30 a.m., the family from Shizuoka Prefecture arrived at the park and was greeted by the 150-member cast of Magic Kingdom characters.
Ridiculous Price or Piece of Anime History?
I've been made aware of this auction item on eBay.
It's for an undoubtedly rare Bubblegum Crisis B-Club booklet, priced well over USD$ 2,000!
The seller says it really should be in a museum, but I'm not sure if he/she should be in a nut house.
Thoughts? Insight?
The Classics: China San no Yuutsu
Before The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, there was The Melancholy of Miss China.
This is the tale of a lesser known anime, one starring a lovely restaurant owner, Miss China, her fiance, and her neer-do-well borders who always create trouble for her. China San no Yuutsu (also licensed as Spirit of Wonder: Miss China's Ring) is an OVA released in the early nineties.
The story plays out much like any H. G. Wells novel. The anime spares no moment to bend scientific principle and draw the characters (and viewers alike) into a world of unimaginable wonderment. It's a cute and campy release from reality like no other.
In the film, Jim and Dr. Breckenridge, two of the boarders who live above China's restaurant, develop a machine that can transport people to the moon. China, who only cares about getting rent from the two, refuses to believe the pair. Jim is so crushed by China's disbelief that he proves his latest invention to her all while finding a way to profess his love for Miss China.
It's a bit out there, but it's a lovely little gem of a movie. It's much different from a typical science fiction anime, taking place in early 20th century England, with an unlikely cast of characters, and making light of outdated scientific theories (ie: currents of ether). But it's well worth watching to unwind from a day in the real world.
The OVA was continued in a "not quite sequeled" second part, standalone from the earlier OVA which got its story from the serialized manga it was based upon. The second film was released as simply "Spirit of Wonder", and while featuring China and company in two shorts and a cameo in the main story, they played a secondary role to a new story following five scientists as they endeavored to reach Mars!
The latter OVA is heavy in fan-service, some inappropriate. The animation is interesting in either film as characters have normal-like eyes and both noses and lips, well-visible upon their faces, and CG elements mixed with beautifully drawn scenery all played out in a slow and steady pace.
If you are lucky to find a copy of either of these out of print titles, grab them up! There won't be anything quite like it on your shelf.
Cats galor!
Because Tokyo is such a small place, many people have small homes or appartments where you either have no consent, or have to space to keep a loveable furry bag. So what do you do if you just don't have the space, but you have the need to see some kittens or hags-of-cats?
Go to Nekobukuro!
For about ¥600 ($6) or ¥1000 per couple, you can spend an hour in the cat house, playing with these lovable (they want pets!) or angry (they have static from too much pets) creatures.
With lots of colorful walls, filled with cat scratches and even perches for the cats to hang on (or run away from you on).
So if you're ever in Ikebukuro, go to Nekobukuro!

Western World Anime Briefs: Gurren to be on TV!
A recent press release by Sci-Fi Media and subsidiaries states that the second season of the Sci-Fi's year-old anime block, "Ani-Monday" will start next week with the cult, medicalpunk hit, Blackjack. The film as you may know, is a spawn of Osamu Tezuka's studies in medicine and his cleverly twisted mind.
I nearly cosplayed as Black Jack once. Got the labcoat and everything. Totally intend to this fall.
The following week A-M will begin airing episodes of the destined-to-be-popular series Gurren Lagann, as well as the stunning, sleeper hit Now and Then, Here and There. Most programs will be show by liscensee Starz Media or Manga Entertainment and their acquired branches.
Catch the A-M block on Monday nights at 11 PM EST/PST.
I was really hoping Tiffany Grant could play Yoko...
In addition, SpaceCoyote, whom you may know as the Simpsons manga artist, will do a Death Note parody in this year's Halloween issue of The Simpsons Comic: Treehouse of Horrors.
SpaceCoyote is known already by her Simpsonized picture of the Death Note characters, but this version of the story will be based on Springfield lookalikes in a unique enough adventure.
Japanese TV? I survived a Japanese Gameshow (ABC)

Jumped to Japan
So, in one of my last posts, I mentioned how our own Cherry Capital, USA got the traveling museum exhibit, about Japanese art forms called Jump to Japan: Discovering Culture Through Popular Art.
The exhibit was very small, but takes the visitor on a chronological journey through the art of the Japanese. Woodblock prints and scrolls were among the first topics presented. The exhibit is almost entirely hands-on and the visitor is well-involved the entire time. One can roll through one of several famous scroll prints as well as use a computer generated program to simulate the layers of ink and carvings used in woodblock print making.
Of course a trip through the pop culture history of Japanese art wouldn't be complete without an anime showcase. Visitors could try their hands at drawing their own anime character on lighted tables using sketch paper first and proceed to a miniaturized Akihabara manga shop, complete with tiny clothes hanging from a tiny balcony to dry. The manga shop, though just a scaled representation of what one might find in Japan featured an interesting array of hard to find posters, figures, and manga for the museum-goers enjoyment.
The cat bus and near-lifesized Totoro rounded out the journey. You could even watch clips of the film in a hands-on way. The whole experience was fun and unique. It made for about a good 45 minutes of clean fun in quasi-authentic animeland. There were even tatami mats one could sit at and learn about the various traditions of important Japanese holidays.
At the end you can also cut out your own paper fan (with important exhibit information on it of course) and take it with you as a memento, unless that is, you stopped at the shop on the way out and got something neater!
Jump to Japan will be in Traverse City, MI until September 9th, where it will move again to yet another museum. Maybe it's headed your way!
Plus, did anyone see the "International Cherry Pit Spitting Competition" bump on Adult Swim tonight? Yeah, that's totally us.
Pictured: Top- My guests to the museum (cute aren't they?), Bottom- Totoro holding some ball-jointed dolls that tagged along.
Manga News Brief
A bit of old manga news, so I'll be short.
Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei will place one episode long OVAs in the next two volumes of the manga. Both episodes are expected feature the same voice cast.
And Kodansha will be looking to publish manga in the US this September. It is uncertain if they will print simply stand alone manga and/or produce a magazine like Shonen Jump/Shojo Beat that is found pretty popular under the Kodansha name in Japan with the company's over fifteen other serialized manga magazines.

Slayers Revolution: The Review
Well, it's here.
Happiness is a title screen and music by Megu.
And then it all went downhill...
Let's start at the beginning:
Lina, fresh upon a pack of bandits, presents herself as the infamous "bandit killer" and promptly destroys the lot when they lovingly refer to her as the "dragon spooker" instead. Flash to Slayers opening theme!
...Well okay, that may be too far early in the series. Let's just resume where we left off in the last series.
Spoilers and whatnot.
Gourry has left behind the Sword of Light to be protected. Then the team parts ways, Amelia and Zelgadis back to Seyrrun, and Lina and Gourry off to kill bandits and plates of meat.
Though most of the series have ended with the team parting ways, rarely has it been without the key weapon of the series.
So the next series starts... with a drawn out bandit... or I should say, pirate beating spree, brought on by none other than our heroine, Lina. The stunt double for Jack Sparrow takes it for a while until he finds out the Lina is THE Lina Inverse and cowers away. This opening scene, lasting until midway through the first episode acts as an important character introduction as we reintroduce the fab four team especially to a new generation of otaku who have not seen the first seireses. Thought it seems like the whole setup could have been more to the point.
Alas, with season four, we've come to find our characters are getting set in their stereotypical ways. Lina is the tempered, flat-chested little girl. Gourry is the idiot... and swordsman... I guess. Amelia, the justice freak. And, by comparison, Zelgadas plays the quiet, straight man, pretty normal compared to the rest of the motley ensemble. The worst part is that these stereotypes shined through more than the awesome violence did, and comedy definitely took the foreground this time around to the action. And that's a bad thing. I guess there really are only so many times you can watch the same incantations and reoccurring jokes.
The whole feel of the series this time around is too cartooney. The characters are all caricatures of themselves, plus, there appears to be a pikachu that will be joining the team.
Why have a fourth season just to jump the shark? I'd have been happier with spontaneous OVAs à la Lupin style, like they had been doing. One thing is for sure, this series has the same feel as the final OVA, Slayers Premium, with a 9:1 comedy to action ratio and cutesy baddies. They must have used the OVA to test the waters for this series.
Alas, I shall watch this travesty. I only hope it gets better from here. It is SLAYERS after all!
UPDATE: I'm told pikachu here is actually a rip of another monster-
Little Known Infos About "My Neighbor Totoro" Preproduction
Chances are, you may have seen this poster from the iconic Ghibli film:
However, you may remember as well, that there are in fact two female lead characters in My Neighbor Totoro, Satsuki and her little sister, Mei.
The girl seen in the most widely produced form of the movie poster, became the hybrid for the two girls that you are familiar with in the official film poster, here:
Here's some information a member of my anime club dug up:
Satsuki Kusakabe (草壁サツキ, Kusakabe Satsuki)
A 10-year-old girl. Satsuki is Mei's older sister. Satsuki is the traditional name of the fifth month of the Japanese calendar, the equivalent of the English May.
Mei Kusakabe (草壁メイ, Kusakabe Mei)
Satsuki's four-year-old sister. Her name deliberately echoes her sister's, May being the fifth month, reflecting the fact that the story originally featured one girl, who was then divided into an older and younger sister. The widely-distributed promotional image for the film of a girl standing next toTotoro at a bus stop reflects the earlier conception with a single child.
Also, interestingly enough, there is a sequel to my neighbor totoro, called "Mei and the Kittenbus" it is about a fourteen minute film shown exclusively at the Ghibli Museum, in Japan.
One final bit of infos, the darkly, poignant war anime, Grave of the Fireflies, was once packaged in a collection with MNT for fear that the latter film would not be a success. MNT would also provide a comedic relief to the bitter movie.
By the way, I just came back from this children's museum exhibit (in my town now), portraying Japanese art in its many forms, from scrolls and wood block to manga and anime, called "Jump to Japan". They had a replica kittenbus there, as you can see in the picture. Photos to come soon!
More at the Totoro wiki. Thanks, Kayla.
The Ever Fashionable Classic
Ahh yes. Classic Pokemon. Back in my day, we only had 150 Pokemon to catch. Those rich kids in the next town over got 151, but who wanted a Mew anyway, he made your milk turn sour and your favorite red shorts shrink in the wash, in fact I can name all of the Pokemon, we had Jiggypop and Rockman.exe and Rocksnake which was a snake that was made of rocks! I remember spending hours in the forrest just to catch a glimpse of one. That was back in the day before we had Gameboy Advanced. Now, who knows what those kids play. Them and their darned, dirty Hoot-Hoots...
TARNATION!
I seem to have forgotten where I was going with this...
So I've recently been introduced to a new clothing line pitched to us early generations of Pokemon players who have grown up to ditch our K-mart Pikachu tees for something that doesn't insult our sensibilities as much. Hence, here is Pokemon 151.
These shirts follow a more laid-back and artsy style on the colorful Pokemon theme. Arcticuno (Freezer) with the crest embossed over him has to be the coolest design in my mind, but all of the shirts are sharp and tasteful. In fact, these designs don't even have to be Pokemon as much as they can be some nouveau fashion style.
I could see wearing this with my thin, black sport coat and my darkest blue jeans, and hitting the clubs in one variation of this trendy ensemble.
Check out the designs at the Pokemon 151 site. Only four designs yet. I can't wait to see them all.
Breaking News: ADV Verge on Close? FUN to Pickup Titles
R1 anime giant and Neon Geesis Evangelion staple, ADV entertainment, after appearing to have several distribution troubles with many of its online titles among other issues reported earlier this year, will cut the license rights to over thirty titles which FUNimation has agreed to pick up as well as several Geneon titles acquired within the year after that fan favorite licensor ended distribution plans last year.
Popular uncompleted titles When they Cry, Law of Ueki, and the Rozen Maiden series will be picked up by FUN among other titles including many of ADV's.
ADV had a downsizing early this year and has apparently had to auction off a number of its business assets as of the time of this writing.
FUN has said in an AnimeExpo press release that it will be distributing this monster license-fest of anime through download-to-own websites and its cable TV channel.
And in the latest of news, ADV has announced it will partner with another unnamed business, and will not be releasing any new manga titles. ADV has removed the lost titles from their website anime page.
The question still remains, what is left for unlicensed titles this year. Will any of the good, unexported series from Japan stand a chance with FUNimation controlling 2/3 of all titles now in play? And how remaining orders will be processed.
Visit comics news site Newsarama for more info. Stay tuned to AP for more on this confusing and baffling breaking news.

Kerala boasts of the best health statistics in India and some of these stats are comparable to those in the Western world. The Department of Health has now taken up the task of promoting deceased organ donation and transplantation in Kerala. It has decided to evolve a programme on similar lines as Tamil Nadu. This online secure registry is for organ recipients waiting for organ transplantation from various hospitals in Kerala that are authorized to undertake transplantation of organs such as Kidneys, Liver, Heart and Lungs.
A similar desktop waiting list will be made available to all the registered hospitals for organ transplantation. The date of registration of a recipient will be the date of starting dialysis. A synchronization of this registry with central registry will ensure the waiting list priority of the patients. A secure login and password will be issued to all the hospitals by the convener of the programme through the webmaster.

Q: How can I convert PDF Files to TIFF files with compression (Group 4 compression) I am trying to complete a task to convert PDF's to TIFF files with CCITT t.4 compression. I am using the PymuPDF library/Pillow. From the code below, I am can generate the TIFF files fine, but I can't seem to add the compression to them no matter what I try. Anyone have any idea how I can accomplish this?
import fitz
import os

mat = fitz.Matrix(300 / 72, 300 / 72)  # sets zoom factor for 300 dpi
doc = fitz.open(r"C:\testtiff4\test.pdf")

for page in range(0, page_count):
    page_load = doc.loadPage(page)
    pix = page_load.get_pixmap(matrix=mat)
    img_filename = os.path.join(r"C\testtiff4", "page-%04i.tiff" % page_load.number)
    pix.pil_save(img_filename, format="TIFF", dpi=(300,300), compression="group4")

When running the above code, I get the error:

Halloween: Resurrection Review
Published on October 13, 2018 by Just Alright Reviews
"… the idea is solid and you can see glimpses of that through the shit."
Last night I sat down and prepared myself for what I was assured was the worst movie in the Halloween franchise: Halloween: Resurrection. Thankfully I didn't find it all that bad. I mean it was terrible, but what Halloween sequel isn't? Halloween: Resurrection takes place three years after H20 and it follows a group of university students who volunteer to be a part of an online reality program where they spend the night in the childhood home of Michael Myers. Surprise surprise, Michael Myers doesn't like that.
So right off the bat I want to talk about how much I love the concept of this movie. I think it is brilliant when a story, especially one revolving around a horror icon, chooses to play into the public perception. By that I mean everyone by this point is familiar with Michael Myers, and more than a few unsavoury films have made him a joke. So having other characters in the movie see him as a joke, and then he proves that he is nothing to be messed with, it's a brilliant idea.
My problem however is with the execution. First of all, the characters in the movie were fucking insufferable. I don't know about you, but I don't want to sit and watch six assholes in a house for 90 minutes. Each of these characters had their own 'thing', to a hilarious extent. Then things get gentrified a little bit when all of their 'things' simultaneously turn into sex. The only redeeming character in this film is Freddie, the program's producer who is lovingly played Busta Rhymes. Not only does Mr. Rhymes give us what is quite possibly the best interpretation of Michael Myers we've had onscreen, but he also showcases his fucking sick karate moves.
But the characters in Halloween: Resurrection being assholes isn't really a problem, is it? With this idea it makes more sense to have the audience root against the protagonists, in order to win back their love for Michael Myers. How do you do that? Make that characters insufferable (check), and make the kills really cool and satisfying. Unfortunately this is where the movie fell short in my opinion. Halloween: Resurrection is supposed to be a reality television show, and each of the characters have what are essentially body cams. This ruins any and all tension when the movie decides to cut to this horribly grainy, 240p footage that is so punched-in and shaky it almost made me vomit. Couple that with the fact that every single kill in this movie is butchered with cuts. I don't think we see a character die in one continuous shot in the entire film, which is disappointing becasue there are some pretty cool concepts there.
Unfortunately the story doesn't get away scot-free either because, despite having a cool idea, it was pretty flawed at times. Not only was the beginning of the movie completely pointless to the rest of the story, but there was a plot point that was never fucking resolved. We never see the main character meet Deckard. As a matter of fact, we never find out who Deckard is. We know he's younger than her, but that's about it. I just find it weird that the movie would do such a poor job setting up what is a pretty pointless story beat, and then fail to wrap it up as well. Why even include it at all?
Overall Halloween: Resurrection was not a good movie, but I didn't hate it. Sure there are quite a few problems with the execution, but the idea is solid and you can see glimpses of that through the shit. And honestly it was a pretty enjoyable watch, if only for Busta Rhymes.
I give Halloween: Resurrection a C

A Statement Regarding Pet Foxes
A Statement on Keeping Foxes
A Statement on Breeding Foxes
The terms "pet fox" and "exotic pet" mean little in reality but can conjure very strong emotional reactions in people when mentioned. Here, we will address the two main types of fox kept privately in the UK as companion animals and animal ambassadors:
The non-native farmed North American red fox or silver fox - A domesticated farm animal that exists in over 70 different colour variations, after being intensively bred for it's fur since the late 1800's. While the UK no longer farm fur, the silver fox is still bred here for companionship and education. The terms "farmed silver fox" and "North American farmed fox" are much more apt for it's description, allowing the other party an opportunity to gain a better understanding of the situation and the animal in question. While they have been considered vulpes vulpes since 1959, the North American red fox was originally classified as it's own species, vulpes fulva, and new research has been able to confirm that this original classification was correct; vulpes fulva is a divergent species of vulpes vulpes.
The native wild European red fox - Which man can legally kill as part of land management practices in the UK, is also kept in captivity by organisations and private individuals when rehabilitation and release are not possible. The terms "rescued red fox" and "rescued wild fox" are much more suitable for foxes that fall within this category. In contrast to the European red fox, the sparse populations of wild, native North American red fox (or Montane foxes) are so threatened, that they are offered support under species protection laws.
Both farmed silver foxes and rescued red foxes could be described as "pet foxes" or "exotic pets" when kept at home by an individual for the purpose of education and/or companionship. And while the age-old rhetoric "they belong in the wild" may seem the ideal response to the situation, the reality is, that neither type of fox mentioned above can legally be released from captivity and someone needs to take responsibility for their captive welfare.
In general, those rare few people who do decide to dedicate their lives to the care of a fox, do so because they want to learn more about them, because they want to assist them in times of need and because they want to help raise awareness of the plights of their kind. While fox keepers may refer to such animals using the word "pet", the term is used because they endear the animal they keep. It is the word we use to describe an animal that makes us feel this way.
For private keepers, these foxes are not a farm animal, a wild animal or a tool. They have become a member of the family.

"Love, you see, Changes us"
The keeping of farmed North American red fox or silver fox is a legal, specialist hobby for those with specific interests in exotic animal management, welfare and behaviour. Silver foxes are extremely difficult to manage compared to other animals and their behavioural needs are complex. They are not like cats or dogs but are in fact, uniquely vulpine.
They are tenacious animals that have behaviour towards man that differs slightly from that of their wild kin. There are also several things that cannot be portrayed correctly, without the other party having met a silver fox first hand - from their possessiveness and destructive tendencies to their independence and how strong they smell.
But aren't they domesticated?
Silver foxes are not domesticated for tame behaviour like those of the Russian experiment, instead they have been domesticated for their fur only.
"Although within Canidae only the dog has an ancient history of domestication, the farm-breeding of red foxes began in Eastern Canada in the late 19th century. Conventional farm-bred foxes live in close human proximity, yet they typically respond to humans with fearful aggression" (Bastounes, 2018)
No-one would recommend keeping a silver fox as a pet, even those that keep them. It takes a special sort of person to dedicate their life to ensuring the welfare of such an animal. But for those rare few, it's possible for a mutually beneficial relationship to be nurtured, allowing the rest of us a window into their world.
So why do people keep silver foxes?
Man's history is intertwined with the stewardship and domestication of animals, including foxes. Today, the keeping of silver foxes comes in many forms; be it for farming, research, as educational ambassadors or as a pet. There are many reasons why any of these groups may keep these animals, but quite simply; because they exist, because they need homes and because people can.
Should people keep silver foxes?
We do not have an answer to that question, as there is much that needs to be taken into consideration. At Black Foxes UK we accept they exist and that people do, that there are benefits and downsides to doing so, which is true for every species man keeps. We only hope those who choose to keep silver foxes, do so responsibly and with the highest welfare goals in mind.
As part of man's responsibility towards any species kept (for any reason), the provision of information, education and support systems are necessary to ensure the highest welfare of the animals involved. The information and support systems necessary to ensure silver fox welfare are severely lacking, but this is where we aim to assist.
What is the future of the domesticated silver fox?
We do not know, but if the silver fox is to continue to exist, why can't it exist for companionship or education instead of for farming or research, providing good welfare can be maintained?
The alternative would be to cease keeping them. If man was to cease breeding and keeping this domesticated animal, it could mean it's extinction. As is thought to have occurred with at least three other species of domesticated fox throughout history, including:
the Fuegian Dog,
the Spanish Bronze Age Foxes and
the Foxes of the Northern Channel Islands.
In Poland today, the Georgian and Pastel colour morph of silver foxes are already considered protected agricultural resources, in order to prevent loss of diversity and their extinction. Part of a larger World Strategy for the Conservation of Genetic Resources of Farm Animals, developed by the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO).
After all the silver fox has done for mankind, calling for it's extinction doesn't seem right, especially when it's wild kin are considered a threatened species today. While we do feel their place is limited and that keeping silver foxes ought to be a licensed activity (as occurs in other parts of the world), we feel strongly that they are owed some place within our society. Education on these animals is vital for their welfare and survival.
What about keeping wild European foxes?
The law on keeping rescued wildlife differs from how it is interpreted for captive bred animals like silver foxes. Wild foxes can only be kept in captivity when there is a welfare need to do so, which is usually when rehabilitation and release are not possible, following sickness, injury or abandonment (should something occur to the mother).
Wild foxes are known to suffer a condition called Toxoplasmosis. It is a parasite the infects the brain and as a result, can alter the fear response and make such animals appear tame. While humans cannot catch toxoplasmosis off foxes due to the nature of the parasites life cycle, it is a zoonotic disease, meaning it is a condition that humans can suffer also. Infected foxes can be treated, but the damage and resulting behavioural changes can sometimes be permanent, meaning such animals cannot be released. The future for such animals is either euthanasia or finding them a knowledgeable home in captivity.
If you have found a wild fox in need, please do not take on the responsibility of caring for the animal yourself, seek professional advice immediately by contacting The Fox Project, The Fox Man or The National Fox Welfare Society. You can also contact your local wildlife charities or your local vet for advice regarding sick, injured or abandoned wildlife, but bare in mind their ability to assist may be limited, (if the animal is in need of veterinary treatment and is over 1 kg, contact the RSPCA for a case reference number - prior to calling the vet - and they may be able to cover £50 towards any necessary veterinary costs).

"You become responsible, forever, for what you have tamed"
While it is legal to breed the red fox in captivity, it is a complex topic that warrants further explanation;
The farmed North American red fox or silver fox, is a non-native, domesticated species. It is because of the historical practice of fur farming in the UK that the law permits the breeding of these foxes, accepting their "captive bred" status. While the North American red fox was recognized as vulpes vulpes, it has recently been scientifically established as a divergent species (vulpes fulva). The only way the North American red fox exists in the UK is through the historical practice of captive breeding, which continues legally to this day.
The native European red fox is kept in captivity when people provide homes for wild foxes that cannot be rehabilitated and released. To protect the welfare of native wildlife, the law does not permit the captive breeding of wild caught foxes or their offspring, due to unnecessary suffering. As a result, rescued wild foxes cannot legally be bred in captivity. In contrast to the North American farmed fox, there has never been a common practice of breeding lines of European red foxes in captivity in the UK and thus, there are no historically captive bred lines of European red fox to be continuing to breed from today.
Any offspring of wild foxes born in captivity should have the opportunity for rehabilitation and release. If release is not possible, it is advised that the fox is neutered on welfare grounds. If neutering is not possible, then it is advised that they are kept in same sex groups in order to prevent breeding.
What does "captive bred" mean?
The law permits the breeding of "captive bred" animals, such as the farmed North American red fox. The term "captive bred" is generally taken to mean born in captivity, of parents that were born in captivity. This definition is used to protect the welfare of native wildlife and to allow room for the permitted breeding of lines already bred in captivity.
Should the breeding of a fox come into dispute, the burden of proof (for proving captive bred status) falls to the owner. Black Foxes UK has previously had to assure veterinary surgeons foxes were captive bred and not candidates for release, before they would agree to treat animals, so it is important to bare in mind.
Hybrids between wild and domesticated foxes?
We have seen cases over the years where organisations and individuals have bred hybrids between native European red foxes and farmed North American foxes, claiming captive bred status of both species. While we understand the confusion about captive bred foxes makes it difficult to understand the taxonomy and law surrounding them, we would like to make it clear that we consider the breeding of native European red foxes in captivity, highly unethical.
European red foxes are not captive bred animals, they are native wildlife. It is not legal to breed "rescued" or "wild caught" native wildlife or their offspring. Their is also no benefit in creating hybrids between native wild species and non-native domesticated species of red fox in the UK, not to mention the ethical and welfare concerns of breeding hybrid animals.
If the first time and second time the captive breeding of a wild animal occurred it was not considered legal, subsequent breeding from that line is a legal grey area and is not considered ethical, despite the technicality of the line then coming under the heading of "captive bred". The law is there to protect native wildlife from this type of abuse of their welfare.
While hybridisation in captivity can improve "performance traits" such as better quality pelts, and hybridisation between wild species can improve "fitness" in a changing environment, adding wild fox genes back into domesticated fox lines doesn't have the same benefit. Instead, it reduces their "fitness" to their captive environment;
"Hybrid foxes perform either tame or aggressive behaviour toward people, and very rarely display intermediate attitudes to them (Trut, 1980; Plyusnina, 1991)"
It is recommended that all native foxes, their hybrids and foxes who's breeding history is not known, are neutered when kept in captivity. If neutering is not possible, it is recommended they are kept in same sex groups, in order to prevent breeding and to promote ethical keeping.

The Town of Woodstock's existing tree canopy totals 21.7% of all land area in the Town, per the Urban Tree Canopy (UTC) Assessment (PDF), which was completed in 2009. Of the 29 towns and cities studied, the Town of Woodstock ranked 28th on UTC coverage.
The Woodstock Tree Board recommends an 8.3% increase in the Town's urban tree canopy within the next 10 years. On November 1, 2011, the Town Council voted unanimously to adopt the Urban Tree Canopy Plan (PDF). Reference the plan to learn more about the Town's implementation strategy.
Increasing the Tree Canopy is Easy!
Plant the right tree in the right place - consult with your local nursery retailer to select the appropriate tree for a great spot in your yard. This not only maximizes the great benefits that trees can provide your property, but it helps the tree reach its full potential (thus, increasing the tree canopy). The Town has a list of recommended trees (PDF) for large yards, small yards, and yards that come in conflict with overhead utility lines.

Whenever you install a new expansion card into your desktop computer, you get to remove a little piece of metal that once served as a placeholder. You can save this if you ever need it again, throw it away, or do what redditor jorshrod did: turn it into a coat hanger.
You might be wondering how this little piece of metal becomes a coat hanger. Basically, you just bend it so it fits over the top of any door or cabinet and suddenly it's a hook to hang your coat. Pretty clever!
