More troops join search but rain could hinder efforts to reach Typhoon Morakot survivors.
On Wednesday, helicopters airlifted out some of the nearly 1,000 survivors who had made it to higher ground before walls of mud and rock covered their homes in at least three villages.
But continuing heavy rains made it slow-going and dangerous, with helicopters only able to make a few dozen trips to bring some of the survivors to safety in Cishan in Kaohsiung county, where a makeshift landing zone has been set up at a school.
Highlighting the continuing danger, the funerals were held on Thursday for three rescue workers killed earlier this week when their helicopter crashed into a mountain in heavy fog.
In Hsiao Lin, one of the worst hit mountain villages, hopes of finding survivors faded after rescue teams found nearly the entire village wiped out by a mudslide.
Al Jazeera's Steve Chao, reporting from Hsiao Lin, said the entire place had been enveloped by mud and only two out of about 200 homes remained standing, the rest either completely covered or washed away.

According to the South China Morning Herald, Hainan, the southernmost province looking to be the "Hawaii of the East", has set its sights on becoming a medical tourism hub. The People's Liberation Army's (PLA) top hospital will bolster the new project.
Provincial Communist Party secretary Luo Baoming says that the PLA's elite Beijing-based Hospital 301 is set to open its first branch in Hainan late next month, aimed at making Hainan an international medical tourism resort by 2015.
Its Hainan medical centre, in the southern resort of Sanya, will provide medical and rehabilitation services for locals and tourists "who need top-quality medical service in a good environment".
The Hainan Daily's website reported last year that the centre would occupy 186,000 square metres with 675 beds.

Performance changes following training in junior rugby league players
Tim J Gabbett, James Johns, Matt Riemann
Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research 2008, 22 (3): 910-7
The purpose of this study was to investigate the time course of adaptations to training in young (i.e., <15 years) and older (i.e., <18 years) junior rugby league players. Fourteen young (14.1 +/- 0.2 years) and 21 older (16.9 +/- 0.3 years) junior rugby league players participated in a 10-week preseason strength, conditioning, and skills program that included 3 sessions each week. Subjects performed measurements of standard anthropometry (i.e., height, body mass, and sum of 7 skinfolds), muscular power (i.e., vertical jump), speed (i.e., 10-m, 20-m, and 40-m sprint), agility (505 test), and estimated maximal aerobic power (i.e., multistage fitness test) before and after training. In addition, players underwent a smaller battery of fitness tests every 3 weeks to assess the time course of adaptation to the prescribed training stimulus. During the triweekly testing sessions, players completed assessments of upper-body (i.e., 60-second push-up, sit-up, and chin-up test) and lower-body (i.e., multiple-effort vertical jump test) muscular endurance. Improvements in maximal aerobic power and muscular endurance were observed in both the young and the older junior players following training. The improvements in speed, muscular power, maximal aerobic power, and upper-body muscular endurance were greatest in the young junior players, while improvements in lower-body muscular endurance were greatest in the older junior players. These findings demonstrate that young (i.e., <15 years) and older (i.e., <18 years) junior rugby league players adapt differently to a given training stimulus and that training programs should be modified to accommodate differences in maturational and training age. In addition, the results of this study provide conditioning coaches with realistic performance improvements following a 10-week preseason strength and conditioning program in junior rugby league players.

PDA Planning and Implementing Change SCQF level 9
The Professional Development Award (PDA) in Planning and Implementing Change at SCQF level 9 offers candidates the opportunity to develop their management competence in a specific aspect of managerial work, 'facilitating change'.
This PDA concentrates on sources of change stemming from new ideas, as well as the commitment which managers need to lead and support people through the implementation stage of the change cycle. The emphasis in this PDA is developing competences which enable managers to take control and drive forward both the generation of new ideas and the changes which normally follow from them.
This qualification is available through training providers, colleges and some employers. It has been designed to be delivered in the workplace with candidates generating the required evidence as part of their current management role.
Jointly certificated by SQA and the Chartered Management Institute (CMI).'
The PDA in Planning and Implementing Change at SCQF level 9:
is nationally recognised
can be achieved at work
has no formal entry requirements
provides recognition of change management skills
enables progression within the Management SVQ framework
enhances career prospects
Candidate support packs are available for the knowledge requirements of the two units in this qualification.
The unit-based structure aids flexibility with candidates generating the required evidence naturally through their current management job role.
This PDA provides progression routes to further study, training and professional qualifications (see Progression).
SQA and CMI have joined forces to help build careers in Management. CMI now offers one year free studying membership for those undertaking an SQA generic Management qualification. For further information please visit: http://www.managers.org.uk/sqa.
The main target audience for the PDA in Planning and Implementing Change at SCQF level 9 is those currently employed in management posts, usually at first line or middle management levels.
The PDA consists of SVQ units, which are workplace units. To be eligible for these units, candidates must have current occupational experience in a management role and be able to generate the relevant evidence.
Whilst entry to the PDA in Planning and Implementing Change at SCQF level 9 is at the discretion of the centre, eligible managers should have current experience in a managerial role which will enable them to demonstrate the competences of the two units in this PDA.
The PDAs in Management are based on SVQ Management units. In line with the Assessment Strategy developed for SVQs in Management, access to the PDAs in Management is open only to those who currently occupy a management role which enables them to display competence at the level of the standards which make up the award. The nature and level of the management role may vary depending on the level of PDA involved.
Both units in the PDA in Planning and Implementing Change at SCQF level 9 contribute to the SVQ in Management SCQF level 9 and SCQF level 11. One of the units also contributes to the SVQ in Management SCQF level 7. Candidates can progress to an SVQ in Management at SCQF levels 7, 9 or 11 (depending on their management job role).
Candidates can also progress to other PDAs in Management covering topics such as the PDA in Managing Projects and Business Processes.
Candidates achieving this PDA are also eligible for studying membership of CMI, which means that they can become part of the professional community of managers and can benefit from development opportunities that this can bring.

If you've seriously considered purchasing a Tesla, right now is probably the best time to do so. The company is trying to end this quarter (September 30th) with a high number of sales (and profit) - to show skeptical investors they can be profitable.
To achieve this, they are discounting vehicles that are still in inventory and have not been sold yet (there are about 200 of them listed on their site). Some buyers are reporting discounts of over $10,000.
It's very possible Tesla will remove these discounts once October rolls around, so now is the time to act. There are two sites that make it easy to browse the current Tesla inventory along with pricing info, Tesla Inventory Search and EV-CPO. I recommend you take a look and see if there's a Tesla in your area offered at deep discount - if so, I don't think you'll find a better opportunity anytime soon.

Lucchio: Lucchio is a scenic village located in Lucca Province. It consists of the sparse remains of its ruined medieval castle, as well as quaint stone village houses blended gracefully into the side of a mountain. This 11th century castle was constructed to oversee the main road that runs alongside the river Lima, between Pistoia and Garfagnana. It is a little bit hard to get to. You walk up a long, winding, narrow road to this isolated old fortress. It blends gracefully into the rocky outcrop. In fact, sometimes it is hard to tell if you are looking at the castle or a part of the mountain. Here you will find the resurrected village with a warren of narrow walkways. The castle is a great location from which to view the magnificent scenery around the Lima River Valley and neighboring towns.
San Casciano dei Bagni: Located south of Sienna, deep inside of Tuscany's hills, this village features winding roads that take you to a tower at the top of the hills. You are sure to be facinated by the Collegiata dei Santi Leonardo e Cassia. It boasts a Gothic facade. Additionally, it houses the Fighine Castle, and San Michele Arcangelo, a small church that dates from 1191. This lovely village features the thermal Fonteverde Spa, which traces its history to the 17th century and offers soothing spa services like mud, massage, and inhalation therapies. You will find no fewer than forty-two thermal springs located around the countryside.
Montalcino: Brunello red wine and its extra-virgin olive oil make this village famous. A tiny walled town located in the remote, hilly countryside to the south of Siena, Montalcino is especially well known for The Duomo (San Salvatore). When you visit the Piazza del Popolo, you'll discover the Palazzo Comunale as well as the 14th-century La Loggia. Frescoes created by Vincenzo Tamagni are found at the San Francesco church, which was renovated in the 18th century. The lovely Romanesque church and monastery known as Abbazia di Sant'Antimo is located just outside of town.
Greve: Situated in Val di Greve, nestled between Florence and Siena, Greve, is a lively place when the September Greve Wine Festival commences! This is the region's largest wine event. The village's older section sports the triangular Piazza Giovanni da Verrazzano, where fresh, local fruits, and vegetables are sold. Here you will find a number of medieval buildings including the 11th-century Santa Croce Church. This impressive building features paintings by Beato Angelico's school. There is also a triptych by Bicci di Lorenzo. What was once the convent of San Francesco is now home to the Museo de Arte Sacra, which holds a major art collection, including paintings, statues, and religious objects. On the outskirts of the village, you will find the Santo Stefano Church, where you can see a beautiful 13th century painting of the Madonna and baby Jesus.
Friendly greetings from the Florentine heat!

The Rt. Rev. Stacy Sauls, the Episcopal Church's former chief operating officer who was placed on administrative leave in December 2015 and lost his job, has filed a lawsuit alleging a conspiracy by senior leadership of the Episcopal Church.
Sauls was COO beginning in 2011. Presiding Bishop Michael Curry, only weeks into his tenure, ordered an investigation into multiple complaints about the work environment at the church center.
Bishop Curry placed Sauls and his two chief assistants — Sam McDonald, deputy chief operating officer and director of mission, and Alex Baumgarten, director of public engagement and mission communications — on administrative leave.
When the investigation concluded, Bishop Curry dismissed Baumgarten and McDonald. He said the investigation found that Sauls "did not violate workplace policy, was unaware of the policy violations of the two staff members reporting to him, and operated within the scope of his office," but that Sauls would not return to his duties.
Starting in 2014, Sauls was the subject of repeated attempts to oust him from the role of chief operating officer through several investigations, all of which exonerated him.
Sauls was accused by the Rev. Gay Clark Jennings, president of the House of Deputies, of dismissing a subordinate improperly and violating whistleblowing policy. He was exonerated through an independent investigation.
Defendants conspired to elevate the role of the President of the House of Deputies "as co-equal with the office of Presiding Bishop," and Sauls was attacked by these conspirators.
At the 78th General Convention, defendants attempted to use legislation to enable Executive Council to fire the chief operating officer, the chief financial officer, and chief legal officer by two-thirds vote. The measure failed to pass the House of Deputies.
After the departure of Presiding Bishop Katharine Jefferts Schori, Jennings attacked Sauls's policy requiring Episcopal Church Center staff to notify him of any communication with members of Executive Council or the President of the House of Deputies.
On Dec. 9, 2015, Sauls was placed on leave with Baumgarten and McDonald pending an investigation of "grim and serious" charges including "racism, sexism, retaliation, sexual harassment, and creation of a hostile workplace." The complaint indicates that Sauls was never informed of the charges' details.
Statements widely published about the leave and subsequent investigation were highly damaging to the bishop's reputation and his ability to find work, despite assurances from David Beers, chancellor to the presiding bishop, that the statements would be neutral and distributed to a limited group of people. The complaint claims damaging mismanagement of public announcements about the case.
The complaint outlines several jobs that Sauls has been unable to secure since leaving the Church Center, ranging from rector of a prominent church to school chaplain to interim rector of a parish of 30.
Google searches of the bishop's name yield results about misconduct and have thus associated him with accusations, rumors, and innuendo, the document says. It adds that an article by Episcopal News Service about a human resources audit by the independent firm Human Synergistics suggested that Sauls was fired because of his management practices and omitted reference to his being exonerated.
Ultimately, the complaint says, the handling of the investigation has left Sauls unemployable and slandered, causing him physical, emotional, and financial stress.
Defendants are not currently named, but certificates of service have been sent to the Episcopal Church at 815 Second Avenue, New York, and to the Diocese of the Central Gulf Coast.
The complaint, filed by Mississippi-based attorney T. Roe Frazer II of Frazer Law LLC, demands a trial by jury, damages, attorneys' fees, all expenses related to the 2015-16 investigation, back wages, and other relief deemed just by the court or jury.
Presiding Bishop Michael Curry and President Jennings disclosed the suit in a Feb. 8 letter to Episcopal Church Center staff. They informed members of Executive Council about the lawsuit and released their letter through the Office of Public Affairs.
Neva Rae Fox, the church's public affairs officer, declined to comment on pending litigation.

The City of Palmdale will host the next two redistricting community workshops on Saturday, Oct. 16 at 1 p.m. at Knight High School, 37423 70th St. East, in District 4; and Saturday, Oct. 16 at 5 p.m. at Palmdale Oasis Park Recreation Center, 3850 East Ave. S, in District 3.
The workshops give residents an opportunity to learn more about mapping tools, ensure their community is fairly represented, and connect with others interested in the redistricting process. The public is encouraged to attend and make public comments on the process. Comments may also be emailed to Redistrict2021@cityofpalmdale.org up until 24 hours before the scheduled meeting.
Members of the Palmdale community are encouraged to participate in the redistricting process to make sure district lines respect neighborhoods, history, and geographical elements.
The meetings will also be available via Zoom. For links to the Zoom meetings and agendas, visit www.DrawPalmdale.org and search under "Schedule."
The final community meeting will take place Monday, Oct. 25 at 6 p.m. at Marie Kerr Park Recreation Center, 2723-A W. Rancho Vista Blvd., in District 2.
The redistricting process occurs every 10 years and uses new U.S. Census data to balance out the population count among each district. Residents of Palmdale have an opportunity to help shape the future of the City by redrawing district boundaries and creating new maps based on population changes. Maps are drawn based on population count, contiguity, public input on communities of interest and more.
To ensure the redistricting process accurately reflects the best interest of Palmdale's diverse community, the City Council has appointed an Advisory Redistricting Commission to gather public feedback and provide recommendations on draft maps.
To help share information about redistricting, gather draft maps and collect public feedback, the City also launched a dedicated redistricting website: DrawPalmdale.org. The website includes background information about redistricting, a schedule outlining public meetings and deadlines, frequently asked questions, resources for drawing maps, and more information on how to get directly involved in the redistricting process. As the process moves forward in the coming months, Palmdale will continue to update the website to include additional information on upcoming meetings and events.
As required by law, the City of Palmdale will hold four public hearings at the City Council Chamber. The first meeting took place on Sept. 14, and the other meetings are scheduled for Nov. 3 at 7:30 p.m., January 2022 (TBA), and Feb. 2022 (TBA)
To learn more about the redistricting process and future public participation opportunities, visit www.DrawPalmdale.org.

Two Johnson County residents were arrested by Sheriff's Office personnel after 4 vehicles were broken into and a truck stolen from a residence on County Road 3251 between midnight and 5:30 a.m. on Friday, May 16. At approximately 6:00 a.m. the 911 dispatch center began receiving calls about multiple vehicle break-ins and thefts. A caller also reported that his 1993 Chevrolet truck was missing from his yard. Items taken from the vehicles included stereos and checks. Nathaniel Oberste, age 24 and Robert Baker, age 24 were arrested on multiple charges. Deputies put out a BOLO on the stolen vehicle and the bank was contacted about the missing checks. At approximately 9:00 a.m. the suspects attempted to cash one of the stolen checks at a bank in Russellville. The bank teller notified Russellville P.D. who responded and located the stolen truck at the bank. Surveillance video showed the suspect attempting to cash the check. Detectives recognized him as Oberste. The video also showed the suspects leaving the bank in a different vehicle, a Ford Explorer. Oberste was located at a Clarksville business and arrested at approximately 10:30 a.m. Oberste was in possession of methamphetamine and drug paraphernalia at the time of his arrest. The Ford Explorer was located near the original area of the break-ins. As deputies attempted to stop the vehicle, the driver, Baker sped away. Deputies stopped him at a nearby residence and took him into custody at approximately 12:30 p.m. A .22 caliber pistol with the serial numbers removed was located between the drivers seat and console of the vehicle. Search warrants were executed on the Oberste residence on County Road 3251 and the Ford Explorer and items were seized as evidence from both. Nathaniel Oberste is charged with Breaking or Entering (3 Counts), Theft of Property (6 Counts), Forgery 2nd Degree (4 Counts), Possession of a Controlled Substance (Meth) and Possession of Drug Paraphernalia.

Captain Picard`s best adventure!
There are quite a few Star Trek adventure in the wild, some that focus on the original crew and some that focus on the Next Generation TV series. This particular adventure game here, Star Trek TNG: A Final Unity is probably the best traditional adventure for the NG series. It starts, much in the way many of the episodes of the TV series did, with the detection of a ship, but what no one expected was for this ship to be a mere decoy. Nearby a Romulan cloaked ship emerges and from there on, an entire survival at first, adventure emerges. The game is played from the perspective of the entire crew. You will play as play as Picard, as data, as Dr. Crusher, Troy as well, and also play as the security officer Worf. It's a very detailed game graphically, which pays tribute to the series in many ways, and the dialogues are really great. Also, the puzzles will be solved mainly using equipment that was the staple of the Enterprise tech – so expect to use your communicator a lot, your tricorder and so on. A great, beautiful game, that will surely please fans. An older, yet just as great game, focused on the original series, is Star Trek : Secret of Vulcan Fury so give that one a go as well.
Lydia R. Q.
Best of the Franchise
A Final Unity is probably the best Star Trek game of them all. Other games seem to focus on ship-to-ship or phaser rifle combat more than the core ideas that made Star Trek so unique. A Final Unity is at its core an adventure game, like Sierra and Lucas Arts' catalog of the early and mid '90s. The focus is on discovery and diplomacy, puzzle and problem solving. Away missions require you to be familiar with everyone's talents. The entire main cast is there to provide fully voiced dialogue. There are moments of combat, especially if you decide to take leave of your senses and pilot right into the Neutral Zone. I like that the game gives you that level of control. However, if you do not wish to deal with combat, you can press the "delegate" button and let Tactical Officer Worf handle it. The entire game really feels like one really long episode. Any fan of the series owes it to themselves to pick it up, especially if you miss what real Star Trek and good science fiction is supposed to be.

A British judge ruled on January 4, 2021, that WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange should not be extradited to the US to face charges of espionage and conspiring to obtain secret US documents by hacking government computers. Assange was given an 18-count indictment from the US government after WikiLeaks released thousands of classified US military records and diplomatic cables in 2010 and 2011. The court cited concerns over Assange's mental health as a reason for blocking the extradition request.

This Irish boy who thought he's hot stuff found out what hot stuff really is.
This young lad, age nine, decided he would eat a Carolina Reaper, which is considered to be the world's hottest pepper.
He swallows the pepper and everything seems fine. Then, about 20 seconds later, the trouble starts and he starts drinking a glass of milk to cool the fire we imagine that's spreading through his mouth, throat and chest.
He polishes off the milk, by which point he's in the type of pain no human should ever have to endure.
We assume he ran off to get a dozen or so gallons of water to drink and cool off.
Obviously, the boy should never have attempted this stunt. If you're eating something the word "reaper" in the name, odds are it's not going to end well.


With his not so subtle wit and his oh so charming demeanor, Nick Heller is a man's man, the new, "anti-hero" – he's all about being straight forward and sticking to his guns, but a hero, well, that's going a bit far…and such a reference would likely bring a quick hint of red to the face of this private investigator.
The audio version takes the story to a whole new dimension, Holter Graham's vocal range is incredible. From the nasal sounds of a teen boy, to the heartbroken cries of a wife, the dramatic emotional entanglements are brought to life and will leave you nearly breathless at times. I found myself rewinding and listening a second or even a third time, just to make sure I had taken it all in. . .
Vanished is a thriller and it most certainly does…and beyond that, it is entertaining! Don't miss this introduction to a brand new leading man that will surely be around for a long time – I look forward to the next Nick Heller novel – I am anxious to get to know more about this intriguing character – what makes him tick, is there a lady in his future? Or maybe one returning from his past? There are so many possibilities and Joseph Finder will do his research, take the publics pulse and then deliver to us another exciting novel. I can't wait!
Vanished… is an exceptional novel – Don't Miss it!
A few years ago I was in London on book tour when I got a call from one of my best sources, a senior CIA operative involved in some really secret covert operations. He said he was in London too and wondered if I was free for dinner. There was someone he wanted me to meet.
I hadn't talked to my CIA friend--I'll call him James--in a few years, so I was glad to hear from him. I always enjoyed talking with him. Over the years he'd learned to trust my discretion (I never burn my sources) and--since I write fiction instead of reporting for the New York Times or something--he knew he could tell me things he could never tell a journalist.
I didn't ask how James had gotten my cell phone number. Or how he knew I was in London. I figured that, in his line of work, he just knew stuff.
When I got to the fancy restaurant in Mayfair, I found James sitting in a booth in the shadowed recesses with some very well dressed Arab-looking guy.
This guy wouldn't tell me his name. All he'd say was that he was an arms dealer from a certain Middle Eastern country. It took a while, and several bottles of expensive Bordeaux, but he started talking. And the stories he told me about how the international arms trade really worked, at the highest levels, blew me away. It was as if there was this whole subterranean world where terrifying things happen and decisions are made that affect us all, by faceless men whose existence we know nothing about.
Later, when I thanked James for getting us together, I asked him how things were going at the Agency. And that was when I got the biggest surprise of the evening: James wasn't working at the CIA anymore. He'd gone private. Now he was doing the same sort of spy work that he used to do, only for a lot more money. He worked for corporations and politicians and foreign governments. In fact, sometimes he even worked for the CIA, as an outside contractor.
But now, since he was no longer constrained by pesky U.S. government laws, he could actually do more. Go places that were once off limits. Do things he wasn't able to do before. He was an international investigator for a private intelligence firm.
and Power Play. But he could also do some really amazing spy stuff. He could be an action hero, but my sort of action hero--smart, connected, funny, real.
I named him Nick Heller, and I decided to introduce him to the world in a very personal, very high-stakes adventure in which he delves into his own troubled family history and, at the same time, digs up some very scary stuff about what really happens behind the scenes in Washington, D. You'll meet him prowling around a private airport outside of L.A., where he's been hired to locate a missing shipment of enormous value. You'll meet his evil father, Victor, who's in prison in upstate New York for a massive investment fraud. And his fourteen-year-old nephew Gabe, who's kind of "emo" (as my daughter would say) but actually pretty cool. And I'm pretty sure you'll be astonished by what he finds at the end of the story.
I think you'll enjoy spending time with Nick. I know I did.
Oh, and that arms dealer I met in London? He'll be showing up in one of the Nick Heller stories soon.

Oshare Bones, as he appears in Puyo Puyo! 15th Anniversary.
Oshare Bones (Japanese: おしゃれコウベ Oshare Kōbe) is a skeleton that is obsessed with fashion, and oftens critiques the outfits and fashion choices of those he comes across. His Japanese name is a portmanteau of oshare, which means "fashionable" or "stylish", and sharekoube, which means "skull (especially a weatherbeaten one)".
His character acts as the Fever era answer to Skeleton T from the Madou era, as both characters are skeletons and have weak AI compared to their peers. In both Puyo Puyo Fever and Puyo Puyo Fever 2, Oshare does not rotate his Puyo when controlled by the AI.
Oshare is a skeleton, wearing a tail coat and a top hat. In Puyo Puyo! 15th Anniversary, he claims that he once had long, curly blonde hair when he was alive.
Oshare Bones is flamboyant, openly homosexual, and isn't afraid to flirt with some men. In Japanese, he uses a variety of feminine Japanese speech patterns, including usage of the feminine personal pronoun atashi. Toting himself as a fashionista, he heavily criticizes anyone that he deems unfashionable, even suggesting what they should wear instead of their current attire.
Some texts in Puyo Puyo Fever 2 and Puyo Puyo! 15th Anniversary suggest that he takes interest in wearing feminine clothes from time to time, as in the former he writes to the player on Girls' Day and discusses wanting to someday wear a juunihitoe (a type of 12-layered kimono traditionally worn by court ladies in Japan), and in the latter mentions needing to have a new dress made when discussing a ball which is supposedly to be held at Ocean Prince's palace. Regardless, his biography in Puyo Puyo Fever 2 lists him as male.
Despite the mannerisms, he does hold some regrets in regards with his missing lover. Ever since that lover went missing, he willingly threw away all of the memorabilia related to that person into the sea. The "Memory of Chu" item featured in Puyo Puyo Fever 2 is implied to be Oshare's originally, but he insists letting the player take it. According to his interactions with Satan in Puyo Puyo! 15th Anniversary, Oshare says his lover bears Satan's image.
Oshare is unfortunately not very talented at Puyo matches, only being able to rotate in 15th and fast drop after Fever 1. In matches, his spells are insults to his opponents ("Call the fashion police!", "Talk to the hand." "Drop dead!") or fashion terms (Elegant, Psychedelic, Asymmetry, Avant-Garde, Trés Bian).
Oshare has expressed attraction for Lemres more than once, starting in Puyo Puyo Fever 2 and continuing into Puyo Puyo! 15th Anniversary. While Lemres seems uncomfortable by the end of a conversation they share in the former game, wherein Oshare begins to express minor jealousy towards young people and compliments Lemres on having smooth skin, by the latter game he seems more friendly towards Oshare and says that it is a shame Oshare found a lover beforehand as he would've liked to meet him when he was still alive. While Oshare himself insists that the only reason he's not madly in love with Lemres is having met his lover already, he still finds him fascinatingly handsome.
While Oshare doesn't seem to generally hold any ill will towards Amitie, he detests her choices in fashion and tends to criticize her sharply as such, disliking her hat in particular. He dislikes her clothing enough to become irate at Arle when she considers borrowing a hat from her after he suggests that Arle wear a cap, considering it to be a mockery of his advice. Amitie also manages to greatly insult him in Puyo Puyo Fever 2 when she makes a negative comment about his own attire while he is trying to explain fashion terms to her. Regardless, in Puyo Puyo! 15th Anniversary, he confides to her when saddened, is happy to share details about his life with her when asked, and asks her to show him how good of a magic user she is becoming before their match begins.
Rulue and Oshare meet briefly in Puyo Puyo! 15th Anniversary, interested in each other's knowledge of fashion, with Oshare appreciating Rulue's clothes, and Rulue interested to hear that the two of them have similar love problems. They mutually agree that they could get along nicely, and Oshare especially is happy to have chatted with her and makes the offer to give her something free from his store if she wins a Puyo match against him.
Oshare's primary appearance in Puyo Puyo Fever is in the WakuWaku course, where Amitie encounters him in the Woods of Nahe during Stage 2. After startling her, he harshly criticizes Amitie's choice in clothing, irritating her and prompting the two to battle.
In Puyo Puyo Fever 2, Oshare runs the shop, where the player can purchase items that have various effects on gameplay. He also begins to reveal information about his past, though letters and dialouge. A scene involving him and Raffina at his store has the latter find an item--the Memory of Chu--after it falls out of the Shell of Memories she had previous received. Shocked at finding it, he gives it to Raffina, stating that he no longer deserves to own the item himself. A letter addressed to the player expands upon the item; Oshare states that it was a gift given to him by his missing lover, and after said lover's disappearance, Oshare threw the item into the sea out of grief, expecting to never see it again and explaining that seeing it brings back painful memories.
Oshare's first story appearance is in Stage 2 of Raffina's WakuWaku course. Raffina approaches him with the news that she is in search of a missing prince and asks for his assistance in finding him, whereupon Oshare reponds that he has not seen aid prince around and refuses to help her, on the basis that "all the princes in the world are mine". Upset, Raffina challenges him to a Puyo match.
His second story appearance is in Stage 2 of Amitie's HaraHara course. After entering his shop, Amitie overhears him talking about fashion concepts that she does not understand, and questions him about them. Oshare decides to talk to her about fashion using his clothes as an example, but when Amitie mentions that he doesn't even wear any underpants, Oshare loses his temper and angrily challenges Amitie.
For reasons unknown, in this game and this game only his AI can rotate his Puyo.
His first opponent is Ms. Accord, whom he is quick to criticize the clothing of. When Ms. Accord comments that his critiques tend to be on the harsh side, he says that they don't have to be that way and suggests a makeover to her, deciding that if he wins their match, she should wear the dress of his choosing.
His second opponent is Rider. Again, he criticizes her appearance, focusing mainly on her hair and how ridiculous he feels it looks. Rider's response is to express her jealousy that Oshare doesn't have to worry about his hairstyle like she does, offending him by calling attention to his lack of hair. Her further attempts to clarify her position only upset him more.
His third opponent is Amitie, who immediately notices that he seems to be feeling down, which he explains is due to Rider's prior comments. Amitie asks him afterwards what he was like in the old days, to which Oshare is happy to reveal that he was "really cool", and was a natural blonde, with long, curly hair. Amitie wishes to see what he looked like, but Oshare admits that he no longer owns any old photos of himself, as he threw them into the sea. He then changes the subject and moves onto the Puyo match with Amitie, stating that he would like to see how skilled of a magic user she has become.
His fourth opponent is Zoh Daimaoh. Oshare is immediately drawn to his choice in fashion, particularly curious about his bindi. After Zoh explains that such attire is only natural for him, Oshare responds that he figured Zoh's boyfriend must've suggested the bindi to him. Zoh gets flustered, stating that he is a man and does not have a boyfriend, and Oshare explains that bindi are commonly worn by married women, which is where he had gotten the idea from. Oshare further compliments Zoh, leaving him flustered.
His fifth opponent is Sig, whom he asks about his wish, should he win the tournament. Sig responds that it is a secret, and Oshare is pleased to hear that Sig is grown up enough to have his own secrets. He compliments Sig on his appearance, particularly his hairstyle and the way he carried his bag, going on to note that he knew a bassist once that held his guitar the same way.
His sixth opponent is Lemres, whom Oshare seems quite happy to see and immediately compliments. Lemres returns his compliments, but Oshare explains that flattery won't keep him from holding back in their upcoming match. Oshare mentions to Lemres that had he not already met someone first, he would be madly in love with him, and Lemres retorts that it's a shame someone beat him to him, because he would've liked to see Oshare when he still had his blonde hair, having apparently heard from Amitie about such. Mentioning that Amitie also discussed the photos Oshare threw into the sea, Lemres asks if Oshare would like him to retrieve them with his magic, causing Oshare to panic and beg him not to.
His seventh opponent is Baldanders. Oshare compliments his mask, and discusses how despite some people figure him to be a cat person, he actually prefers dogs, noting their loyalty to their masters as the primary reason and relating it to how he is awaiting the return of his missing lover. Inferring that Baldanders is also waiting for someone, Oshare expresses extreme happiness at what he considers a kindred spirit.
Oshare's eighth and final opponent is Satan. Initially, Oshare mistakes Satan for his missing lover, only to realize his mistake when Satan introduces himself, while still in awe at the extreme similarity. When Oshare clarifies that he mistook Satan for someone he knew a long time ago and no longer knows the whereabouts of, Satan offers to search for the person for Oshare. However, Oshare has no belongings of theirs, and so he offers his hand as it has been touched by his lover, and Satan's search comes up empty regardless. Oshare tells him that his search may have failed because "the lost has already been found".
Upon winning the tournament, Oshare meets with Ms. Accord again to receive his medal and make his wish. His wish is to meet up again with his lover, but due to using and ambiguous timeframe in which to meet them, he is distraught to learn that he still does not know when he will see them again. Ms. Accord, however, comforts him by assuring him that now a meeting has been guaranteed either way, and Oshare finds comfort in that certainty and insists that he can keep waiting.
Outside of his own story, Oshare Bones appears as an opponent when playing as other characters. Akuma faces him as his sixth opponent, surprised to hear that Oshare thinks fondly of his choice of attire. Oshare admires that while young people tend to dress in colorful and decorative manners, adults such as Akuma and himself look better wearing more nice and sophisticated things.
He acts as Arle's fifth opponent, and immediately begins to criticize her fashion sense, especially when Arle admits to having worn the same style of clothes for fifteen years. He suggests to her that she at least wear a cap if she insists on wearing those same clothes, and becomes irate when Arle considers borrowing a cap from Amitie, as he greatly dislikes Amitie's cap and thinks Arle is mocking his advice.
He appears in Dongurigaeru's story as his third opponent, insisting that he changes his acorn cap and pants into something less plain and more vibrant, eventually threatening to cram him into a sparkling mirror ball when he protests.
Oshare also acts as Ocean Prince's second opponent, getting into a pleasant conversation with him and asking him if he's found anything useful in the sea as of late and offers to buy them at his store. He soon gets the idea to hold a ball at Ocean Prince's palace in order to have at least one day where everyone dresses up in style, and insists that Ocean Prince host said ball if he wins their Puyo match.
Onion Pixy's story begins with a match against Oshare, who begins by wondering aloud if the medal will allow him to see his lover again. Onion Pixy converses with him on the subject, with Oshare further wondering if he will see his lover again and deciding that he needs to keep his hopes up, and then going on to invite Onion Pixy to face him in Puyo while further talking about love.
He also appears as Rulue's second opponent, wherein they get into a brief conversation about love and fashion, and seem to enjoy each other's company, as Oshare is happy to find someone fashionable, and Rulue notes that they have similar problems regarding love. Oshare is delighted to have met her, and offers to let her take something free from his store if she wins their Puyo match, as his treat.
In Yu and Rei's story, he appears as their fifth opponent and suggests that they liven up their image with something other than plain white garments. They insist that they prefer wearing white and that they wouldn't be recognizable as ghosts wearing anything else, but Oshare challenges them to a Puyo match and declares that if he wins, he gets to choose what the twins wear.
Oshare Bones (along with Sig) is the strongest character in Fever mode in Puyo Puyo Fever 2.
In Fever 1, a glitch in all versions except GBA and DS causes his animation for Psychedelic to go unused, and for his first spell animation to be used twice.

After meeting with Ministry of Culture Frédéric Mitterrand, he participates - along with many important figures and organizations that represent jazz in France - to several rounds of auditions that will produce a document on the state of Jazz in France - with many propositions to improve the situation - that they will summit to the Ministry at the end of the year.

Laurent Coq was born on Feb 22, 1970 in Marseille. The youngest of five boys, he grew up in the countryside around Aix-en-Provence. He started studying piano at age 7. Three years later, he entered the Aix National Dance and Music Conservatory in Ms Courtin's class (also Helene Grimaud's teacher).
In 1988, he was awarded First Prize and moved to Paris where he registered at the C.I.M (in those days, the number one jazz school in France). He studied with Emmanuel Bex, and met with drummer Daniel Garcia Bruno and bass player Jules Bikoko bi Njami with whom he formed the Ad For Tri trio.
From 1989 to 1994, he multiplied experiences. He played in alto saxophonist Patrick Bocquel's Quintet, a band that made quite an impact in winning numerous competitions, one of which the CRPLF (French-as-a-first-language National Radios), led to the recording of Radio Days. He also took part in vibraphone player Oriol Bordas's band, Paris Barcelona Swing Connection. Among the many performances, there was a french tour with special guest American Saxophonist Frank Wess (Vienne 1993). One must also mention his collaboration with singer Marcel Kanche, with whom he toured Europe and recorded two albums (Barclay).
In 1994, he obtained a Grant from the French Government for a six months stay in New York. He took lessons from piano players Mulgrew Miller and John Hicks, but most notably from Bruce Barth who will soon become his mentor and a true friend, which he remains to this day. Back in Paris, Laurent turned this precious experience into a Quartet that included his old pals Jules Bikoko bi Njami and Daniel Garcia Bruno and young tenor Jean-Christophe Béney.
In 1996, the composer signed his first film score for actor/director Alain Beigel. Il y a des journées qui mériteraient qu'on leur casse la gueule won First Prize at the Meudon Short Films Festival, and the Grand Prix at the 1997 Metz Festival.
In February 1997, the quartet went to New York to record the first album as leader. Bruce Barth wore the artistic producer's hat and David Baker engineered the session. Thanks to Bruce, the album will be released on prestigious german label Enja. Jaywalker was an immediate success with the critics, and this first public recognition has since being maintained.
Not long before, Laurent Coq had met with singer Laurence Allison, and together they started to work thoroughly on Duke Ellington's repertoire. In 1997, they recorded Soul Calls, with a two-saxophones sextet.
After six years of complicity, Daniel Garcia Bruno chose to devote himself to more personal projects, and Philippe Soirat took over the drums in the leader's quartet. Two years of hard work will produce a new repertoire still very much influenced by the New York scene, and an even more distinctive sound. At the time, Laurent Coq pursued his close collaboration with Laurence Allison taking a fresh approach to Bud Powell's and Thelonious Monk's worlds of music..
In 1999, Laurent Coq produced two albums in New York; Versatile with his own quartet -- with the same Jaywalker crew comprising of Bruce Barth as artistic producer and David Baker as sound engineer -- and Laurence Allison's Thelonious & Bud Together Again with her sextet. It will take more than a year for these two recordings to be published on the Cristal label, but this tenacity will be rewarded with unanimous praise.
The same year, Laurent signed the original score of the fairy tale Airou ! J'ai compris written and directed by Michel Uzan for the National Theater of Nanterre.
In 2000, he settled in New York where he met with another French expatriate, the saxophone player Jérôme Sabbagh. Frequently, he came back to Europe, and soon presented a one-of-a-kind trio with two saxophones (tenor David El-Malek and alto Olivier Zanot). In 2001, while in Paris, the band played at the Duc des Lombards and the concert was recorded by Claude Carriere and Jean Delmas for their weekly show on French National Radio, 'Jazz Club'. Laurent Coq Blowing Trio/Live@the Duc des Lombards received the Grand Prix du Disque Charles Cros 2002.
On May 2001, Laurent was granted an American Artist Visa. He was cast in Sarah Morrow's band for a few appearances in the U.S, notably at the New York JVC Festival and Washington jazz club Blues Alley. This was also the opportunity for him to meet with Mark Turner.
Three days before 9-11, Laurent Coq flew back to Paris to record Jean-Christophe Béney's Cassiope.
Most importantly, since the summer, the composer had a new quartet that proudly endorsed New York dynamism. The group featured tenor saxophonist Jérôme Sabbagh, and two young musicians recently arrived from Los Angeles, bass player Brandon Owens and drummer Damion Reid. Together, they were going to develop an original music that was the natural consequence of the leader's previous years of work. On several occasions, they traveled overseas, and they performed at the 2002 Paris JVC Festival.
In 2002, Laurent Coq played every Monday in a Village joint in NY, the Cafe Creole.
In March 2003, the quartet recorded Like A Tree In The City in a New Jersey studio. The album came out simultaneously in Europe on Cristal and in the U.S on Sunnyside, and served as a milestone in the career of an artist who continues to create a totally unique world.
Laurent Coq was nominated by the French Jazz Academy for the Year's Best Musician Award.
In the fall of 2003, Laurent Coq signed the original score for Laurent Benegui's Qui perd gagne, written for a 72 piece symphonic orchestra (with the exception of the closing credits song written for the Vintage Orchestra and sung by Allen Hoist). The soundtrack was released on june 22, 2004, one day before the movie.
In August 2004, Laurent got on stage for the first time with a piano trio for four nights in a row at the Sunside in Paris, bringing along a drummer with whom he played quite a bit over the past years in New York, Otis Brown III. This naturally led to the recording of his first piano trio album for which he called the bass player everybody digs (Dianne Reeves, Joshua Redman, Charles Llyod...), Reuben Rogers. The session took place in a little Soho studio during two evenings of November 2004. Spinnin' is to be released both in France (spring '05 on Cristal) and the U.S (fall 2005 on Sunnyside).
In December 2004, French jazz magazine Jazzman asked him to conduct an interview with guitar player Pat Metheny that made the February issue front cover. He also wrote a long biography of soul singer Donny Hathaway for new magazine Muziq.
The piano player spent the winter of 2005 in Paris where he was in residence at the jazz club La Fontaine, alternating with the Blowing trio featuring sax players David El-Malek and Olivier Zanot, and another trio with Mathias Allamane on bass and drummer Phiippe Soirat.
In June 2005, he played at the Paris Jazz Festival for the release of Spinnin', along with Darryl Hall and Otis Brown III.
In September 2005, Laurent was featured in Elisabeth Kontomanou's new album untitled Waiting For Spring playing two duos, including his own composition Claude Sait renamed The Bird In Me.
In October, he joined the Edim staff (Paris music school).
In 2006, Laurent multiplied his sideman engagements.
First with American Saxophonist Rick Margitza who had a weekly gig at la Fontaine.
That was also in this club that saxophonist Sophie Alour explored new directions and put her new quartet together along with Laurent.
In the same period of time, Singer Sonia Cat-Berro called our man on a regular basis.
In June 2006, french saxophonist Julien Lourau asked Laurent to replace Bojan Zulfikarpasic to play at the National Music Day. The next day, they flew to New York where they met with bass player Thomas Bramerie and drummer Ari Hoenig and then to Haiti for an intense week. They played two gigs there ; one in Port-au-Prince, and the other in Jacmel, cradle of Haitian's culture. The Quartet Jacmel was born.
In December 2006, Spinnin' is granted the Best French Album of the Year Award by French Jazz Academy.
With the Adami, he was asked to produce musical scores for short movies that will be presented at the Cannes Film Festival (Talents Cannes).
He was also commissioned by the TV channel Arte to illustrate five documentary directed by Antoine Roux that will be aired on prime time in November 2006.
In september 2006, the Blowing trio entered the recording studio for the making of leader's sixth album, the second with his atypical band (one piano, two saxs). Singer Laurence Allison was invited on two originals.
Two days after these sessions, Laurent flew to Japan where he performed solo for the first time. He did three shows, including one in front of five thousand people at the Sendaï Street Jazz Festival, to promote the release of Spinnin' on Japanese label Wards Records.
In the fall of 2006, alto Pierrick Pedron hired him to play with his quartet after the released of his acclaimed new album, Deep In A Dream (Nocturne).
In early December, Laurent went to Vietnam along with Julien Lourau and bass player Vincent Artaud. They met drummer Otis Brown III, longtime Laurent's partner (Spinnin'). They played in Hanoi and Ho Chi Min City, former Saigon.

Laurent was nominated 2006 Best Musician by the French Jazz Academy.
In January 2007, with the Pierrick Pedron quartet, Laurent was invited to perform at the annual New York Jazz Conference, IAJE. He took advantage of his being there to mix Sophie Alour's album at the famous Avatar Studio.
The next day of his return, he joined Julien Lourau at the Lyon Opera Hall for three concerts with the Jacmel quartet (Thomas Bramerie and Ari Hoenig).
The new Blowing Trio album untitled The Thing To Share was released on March 8, 2007 on label Cristal. The band performed at famous Parisian venue The New Morning on April 25.
Sophie Alour's album, Uncaged, was released in May on label Nocturne. Numerous concerts were scheduled, including an African Tour (ten countries) in the fall of 2007.
Laurent also performed in many venues in France and abroad throughout the year with alto Pierrick Pedron's quartet .
Julien Lourau Saïgon Quartet was invited to perform three nights at the Paris Jazz Festival at La Villette in September 2007.
In 2008, Laurent continued to perform more and more in France and abroad with two visits to Algiers with Pierrick Pedron with whom he has done more than one hundred concerts over the past two years, with his Blowing trio, with Sophie Alour, and with Julien Lourau who brought his new quartet to Montenegro at the Podgoritsa Festival in May. The rhythm section has been definitively cast ; bass player Thomas Bramerie and drummer Otis Brown III. Upon Julien's request, Laurent wrote several originals for the band. In june, he recorded Pierrick Pedron's new album in Paris.
Right before leaving Paris for New-York, Laurent met with Japanese dancer and choreographer Toshiko Oiwa (Twyla Tharp, Bill T. Jones, Preljocaj) for a total improvisation that was filmed. The movie called Bird's Improvisation #1 was posted on pianist's website.
Begining of July, Laurent returned to New-York for a three months stay. he instantly reconnected with former mates French tenor saxophonist Jérôme Sabbagh who has been in NY for more than twelve years and Californian drums prodigy Damion Reid. Naturally, this reunion reactivated the inspiration that once gave birth to the music of Like a Tree in the City and he devoted these Brooklyn weeks to the writing of a new repertoire that they recorded in a small New Jersey Studio, Tedesco, along with bass player Joe Sanders and the great and ever-faithful sound engineer Katsuhiko Naito.
Just before that recording, at the end of August, Laurent flew back to Tokyo, Japan, to promote the release of the latest Blowing trio album The Thing to Share on Japanese label Ward Records (the label also released Spinnin', Versatile, Blowing Trio Live@the Duc des Lombards, and Like a Tree in the City). Laurent's Blowing trio spent a week in the Japanese's capital and performed four times including an appearance at the prestigious Tokyo Jazz Festival.
Back to Paris at the end of September, Laurent went on a French tour with Sophie Alour and worked on adapting Pierrick Pedron's Omry to the stage.
He practiced Miguel Zenon's music, for the Puerto Rican alto player asked him to replace his regular piano player Luis Perdomo for a couple of concerts in Europe. They played in Poland and at Lausanne Jazz Festival, Switzerland.
In December, Julien Lourau's Saigon Quartet with Thomas Bramerie on bass and drummer Otis Brown III played two nights at the Sunside in Paris before heading to the south where they recorded Julien's new album set to be released on September 2009.
2009 started with the release of Pierrick Pedron's new album Omry that drew immediate raving from the critics. This two-drums sextet gave its first performances in Paris and in Brittany. An Algerian tour is Scheduled begining of November 2009.
In March, Laurent created 88TREES, his new label that released Eight fragments of Summer - Laurent's seventh album as a leader - at the end of April. The press reviews were unanimous (4-stars in Jazzman, CD of the month in Jazz Magazine, 4f in Telerama).
Mid-April, Laurent met with Japanese dancer and choreographer Toshiko Oiwa again and together they performed their second improvisation. The movie was posted online on the pianist's website.
This year, Laurent was contacted by two eminent American saxophonists, Miguel Zenon and Sam Sadigursky, both winners of the CMA/FACE grant given by the prestigious Chamber Music America who helps finance projects that associate musicians from France and the U.S. In November of 2009, he participated in the composition of a new repertoire based on contemporary poems by French and American writers. This co-led ensemble with Sam Sadigursky featuring two singers, Laurence Allison and Christina Correa, played at the French National Radio in November, and at Sunside Jazz in Club in Paris.
He also worked on new music inspired by Rayuela - the famous book by Argentinian writer Julio Cortazar - music that puertorican alto saxophonist - and winer of the MacArthur "Genius" grant - Miguel Zenon has asked him to write for an atypical band including Dana Leong on trombone and cello and Dan Weiss on drums and talba. The first concerts were given at Sunside Jazz Club in Paris, beginning of march 2010. The music was so well received that they decided to record it.
The same year, Laurent worked on a series of documentary directed by Antoine Roux with whom he has worked many times before. Movies were broadcast on National Television Channel Arte. He also started playing with Maltese guitar player Sandro Zerafa who was already working on a new repertoire written for a quartet that featured bass player Yoni Zelnik and drummer Karl Jannuska.
In June 2010, Pierrick Pedron's Omry locked itself in the basement in Montreuil to put together the new repertoire that Laurent Coq has arranged entirely. The recording took place at the legendary Brussels studio, ICP with sound engineer Jean Lamoot (Alain Bashung) and composer - winer of an Oscar for the orignal score of French movie The Artist - Ludovic Bource as artistic producer.
Coming back to Paris, Laurent met with young drummer Guilhem Flouzat who once was his student at EDIM and who left Paris for New York where he studied at the Manhattan School of Music. While in New York, he had written new material and asked Laurent to be his artistic producer. Recorded at Gimmick Studio, the album features an international cast : young French alto player Antonin Hoang, American saxophonist Ben Wendel (Kneebody), another young French expatriate in New York, Michael Valeanu, and two bass players playing alternatively, young Simon Tailleu and from Italy Matteo Bortone.
End of August, Laurent Coq went back to New York where he played the music of Rayuela with Miguel Zenon at Hartford, CT, and recorded it at Systems Two in Brooklyn. In November, Laurent Coq went on the road again with Julien Lourau's Saigon quartet. Beginning of December, he was at Studio La Buissonne in Pernes-les-Fontaines, to record Sandro Zerafa's new album (PJU records).
In 2011, Laurent Coq launched an animated debate by addressing an open letter to Sebastien Vidal, head of the Parisian jazz radio TSF JAZZ, and booker of both Paris Jazz club Duc des Lombards and Django Reinhardt Jazz Festival in Sammois. These heated exchanges went viral on internet and soon Laurent decided to open a blog where musicians would express their frustrations in trying to keep their heads above water in a increasingly hostile environment. The blog became so popular that all the jazz press and most of the national newspapers wrote about it. Along with other musicians and Jazz writers, Laurent finally wrote an open letter to the Ministry of Culture, Mr Frédéric Mitterrand, that was published by national newspaper Libération to ask him to take the issues of jazz music and the fate of younger musicians more seriously. The ministry accepted to meet with him and two other French Jazz community representatives, piano player Pierre de Bethmann and radio producer Alex Dutilh, and asked them to organize a large consultation in order to summarize all the issues regarding jazz music in France. This intense process lasted for several months and in December of 2011, the group (including all the French jazz federations, major venues, festivals, jazz critics, producers, and many musicians) that worked on that large consultation was able to sent a important document to the French Ministry of Culture.
Despite these very busy months of activism, Laurent didn't give up on music. Mid April of 2011, he went back to studio La Buissonne along with Sam Sadigursky and four other musicians, including two singers, to record their collaborative work (Sam Sadigursky & Laurent Coq - Crosswords / Mots Croisés) and Sam's new album (Words 4). In May, he flew to New York to complete the mixing and the mastering of these two new albums with his old friend sound engineer Katsuhiko Naito.
In July of 2011, Laurent went back to La Buissonne one more time - the fourth time in one year - to record David Prez's new album Awakening (PJU records).
In 2012, Laurent Coq continued to push the issues of Jazz in France, including the need to help the young generation that comes out of all the new schools that multiplied these past years all over the country without any perspective of playing or making a descent living. Along with the group that has worked on the document given to the ministry, he pursued several projects, including a new venue in Paris, and a program that would foster projects from young musicians with the help of older ones.
On the musical front, he started working with former student guitar player Ralph Lavital, and together they began playing gigs around town. In the spring of 2012, Laurent started writing new original music for this piano/guitar duo, and together, they decided to add a voice on a few songs with the addition of singer Nicolas Pelage. In July of 2012, the three musicians went to studio La Buissonne, and recorded Laurent Coq's eight album as a leader entitled Dialogue. In August, Laurent Coq went back to New York to do the mixing and the mastering of this new music with Katsuhiko Naito at Avatar Studio. He also played with Miguel Zenon the music of Rayuela at Newport Jazz Festival, and several times at Smalls Jazz Club with drummer Otis Brown III and tenor player Jerome Sabbagh.
Laurent Coq is currrently teaching composition at EDIM, in Cachan, near Paris.
