20 times faster than current technology; could be used on SSDs and smartwatches.
A California-based startup, Crossbar Inc, has come up with a non-volatile memory technology that could change the way we store data on our smartphones, tablets, and other computing devices. Crossbar has developed RRAM (Resistive RAM) technology, which allows a storage capacity of up to 1 TB on a single chip that is smaller than a postage stamp. That's not all, stacking the chips could allow multiple terabytes of memory to be integrated on a single chip.
This non-volatile memory delivers 20 times less power consumption than current NAND memory along with a faster write performance at the same rate. This could mean extending the battery life of devices by weeks or longer. Apart from the use on smartphones and tablets, these chips could also be used on SSDs for faster personal computing with tons of storage. Upcoming wearable computing devices such as the smartwatch or Google Glass could also benefit.
Crossbar has already developed the chip at their commercial fabrication facility and is now optimising the technology for SoC (System on Chip) market. The company has already been awarded 30 patents related to manufacturing and commercialisation of the RRAM technology. Here is a visualisation of the RRAM in a 3D stack.


Have you ever wondered why paralyzed dogs get pressure sores and hygromas? The simple answer is they sit too much. Sitting or lying in one position for too long on a hard surface causes trauma to the skin. It seems like an easy problem to solve, but for many paraplegic pets, pressure sores and hygromas are frustrating and sometime life-threatening conditions.
Before we jump into preventing and treating this problem, let me start with the basics.
What is a pressure sore (decubitus ulcers)?
Pressure sores are caused by chronic injury to the skin. This happens when a dog lies on a hard surface for an extended period of time without changing positions. The pressure from lying in one position decreases blood flow to the area. It slowly causes damage to the tissue. Eventually the skin breaks down to form an open wound. These wounds can form on the surface of the skin or they can grow deep into the bone.
Pressure sores are painful and typically develop over bony areas like the elbows, hips and hocks (lower joint of the leg).
Paralyzed dogs are prone to the problem for several reasons. They have trouble flipping their body from one position to another and their muscle mass and tissue padding atrophy from lack of use. This decrease in muscle mass exposes the bony areas to pressure, making them susceptible to damage.
Cody had a pressure sore that became an abscess.
How pressure sores are treated.
Walkin' Pets at HandicappedPets.com has an excellent article about how to treat pressure sores and hygromas. It has information every owner of a paralyzed dog should read.
Take pressure off the wound. – That might include the use of an orthopedic dog bed or the use a pillow. And inflatable donut works well for hips.
Make an appointment with your veterinarian. – Your veterinarian will determine the best treatment plan. An open would will probably be treated with a "moist wound care" protocol. It has proven to be the best way to grow new healthy cells. Many veterinarians use Hydroactive® wound dressings and daily cleaning with an antiseptic solution.
Test for a bacterial infection. – Your veterinarian should determine whether the pressure sore has an underlying infection. These are treated with antibiotics and topical antiseptics.
Deep wounds may need surgery. – Pressure sores that go deep into the skin or bone might require your veterinarian to debride the wound. Dead or diseased tissue is removed so healthy tissue can grow.
Be patient. – It takes 2-4 weeks before you will sign of the skin healing. As a pressure sore heals it gets smaller. New healthy tissue grows at the edges and slowly closes the wound.
Do not let your dog stay in one position for more than 2-3 hours.
Reuben is a paralyzed shepherd mix who had a large hygroma on his hip.
Hygromas begin in the same way as pressure sores, but instead of the skin breaking down and developing an open wound, the tissues around bony areas become inflamed and fill with fluid.
The swelling of a hygroma is not painful. If it is caught early your veterinarian can treat it by aspirating the area with a needle and pulling out the fluid.
Some hygromas are more serious and can become infected. They need more advanced drainage techniques and sometimes surgery.
When a hygroma grows very large or becomes infected drainage tubes are inserted into the area to decrease the fluid built up.
Other hygromas develop an abscess or sore on top. These require surgery to remove the bad skin and grafts to reconstruct the area with healthy skin. Untreated hygromas can be life-threatening.
Change your dog's position often – Be sure your dog doesn't sit or lay in one position for a prolonged period of time. Help them turn to a new position or flip them over to the other side every 2-3 hours.
Invest in an Orthopedic dog bed – Many manufacturers sell dog beds made of egg-crate foam that evenly distribute your dog's weight across a mattress. An orthopedic bed is also a great way to treat a dog who is developing a pressure sore of hygroma.
Do range of motion exercises – Basic physical therapy exercises will keep your paralyzed dog's joints and muscles flexible and strong. Talk to your veterinarian about the proper way to perform daily range of motion techniques.
Massage therapy – Learn how to use massage techniques for your paralyzed dog's hips and limbs. It is a good way to keep blood flowing to the muscles and surrounding tissue.
Patches of exposed fur; particularly on the hips, elbows and hocks.
Discoloration to the skin or if the skin is becoming thicker or developing a callous.
Your dog is licking a particular area of her skin.
The color of the exposed skin is red or purple.
There is an open wound on the skin.
The wound is seeping yellow or green fluid or pus.
There is a foul smell coming from the wound.
The wound is swollen, tender to the touch or warm.
Your dog is in pain.
Thank you for the education. I never heard of a Hygroma. So many times we encounter an issue then, play catch up, and chase a solution. I can appreciate oening our minds to knowledge, to prepare for prevention.
When my German Shepherd dog, "Merrick" became paralyzed after a back surgery gone bad, he started to get sores where the boney parts are in the insides of his legs. I changed his position every 2-3 hours, and put a rolled fleece cloth in between his legs. Kept 2 orthopedic beds side by side to have the ease of transfer, and a clean bed. Problem solved!
I have a gel mattress topper from my bed that I am going to cut down to use under my current dog beds for comfort.
Another tip that has been extremely helpful is, I put a heavy garden plastic over entire bed, taped close with duct tape. Cover with a crib or twin sheet, depending on size of bed. When changing, I either spray with a diluted bleach, or diluted Distilled White vinegar solution, wipe dry, put clean sheet on. Works wonderfully!.
Victoria, I like your ideas about using the rolled fleece to take pressure off your dog's legs and adding a gel mattress topper. Both sound like great ways to prevent pressure sores.
I didn't think about heavy garden plastic. That is a good idea! My pup stays in a playpen during the day when we are not home & I ended up buying the waterproof baby mattress that fits the playpen. Then cover with a fitted crib sheet.
My dog has been paralyzed for 3 months and hasn't had any pressure sores. Is it possible his thick double coat is good protection for his bony hips? He's a pomeranian terrier cross.
Your dog's thick coat might be helping to prevent pressure sores. It could also be his light weight. Larger, heavier dogs are more prone to the problem. And if your dog is able to scoot on his own and stay active, he is probably switching positions enough on his own. Good job to both of you.
I had a springer who was paralyzed for about a year. She would whine every 3 – 4 hours and need to be rolled over. I kept her on an orthopedic bed with a second layer of cushioning underneath. Fortunately, she never developed pressure sores, although she always had calluses on her elbows, I think she had those long before she became paralyzed.A waterbed also helped keep her cool in the summer. Kaylee was not incontinent but had trouble with bowel movements, so I had her lay on a towel for easy cleanup.
Sandy, It sounds like you took great care of your dog. I like the idea of using a waterbed to keep your dog cool.
John, I'm sorry to hear about your dog's problem. It sounds like your dog is having severe chaffing from where the harness touches his body. This is a common problem, especially when a dog looses muscle mass.
One suggestion is to add sheepskin for padding. Pet parents have recommended a company called Just Merino Sheepskin because they can make the pads in any size you need. I have other suggestion to keep the skin clean, but I am going to email it to you directly. I have an e-book that I put together of products for paralyzed pets. I hope it helps.
I think I have a similar issue- I'd love to hear your ideas if you are still monitoring this page.
Beth, If your dog has a similar problem with sores under the armpits like pet owner John described, I stand by the advice I gave before. I would add padding to make the area softer for your dog. Sadly, dogs with DM tend to lose muscle mass and weight as their disease progresses. It causes pressure sores and sores due to chafing. I've heard good things about Just Merino Sheepskin. I think you can find it on Amazon. You can order whatever size you need. Sheepskin is soothing to the skin and I like that it's a natural product. Hope this answers your question.
Janelle, It sounds like you have mastered (and should teach) how to live with a paralyzed dog. Your story sounds a lot like mine in that I also work from home and could keep Sophie by my side and that we had 3 other dogs at the time.
I'm glad my site helped you perfect your pee expressing technique. Keep up the good work. I know your dog appreciates it. Best wishes.
My 16 year old husky recently was diagnosed with a nasal tumor that had spread to his brain. He still eats, drinks, and has normal urination and poop but he has slowly progressed to partial paralysis on one side more than the other. This makes him favor laying on one of his sides rather than the other. Yesterday after a full week of him on one side, he developed a bad ulcer out of nowhere that went deep. I've followed advice about a donut, wet womb care, and bedding, but I'm having problems getting im to switch sides and stay there. He struggles to roll over back on the side of the sore, so much that I fear he's making the sore worse. Is there a way I can get him to stay on the other side periodically while the other side heals.
Lauren, I am so very sorry to hear about your dog. I have a suggestion for you that sounds silly, but it works. It came from a pet owner who used it to keep her dog from getting pressure sores. Get a bean bag chair! Your dog will love how comfy it is and you'll be able to prop him into any position you want. I hope this keeps you dog comfortable in his remaining days. Another idea to help him walk while he is favoring one leg is to get a support harness. You'll be able to help him walk without falling over. The two companies I like are: Walkabout Harnesses and Gingerlead. Best wishes to you both.
Lauren- I learned a trick from the nurse who took care of my mom while she was alive. She rolled a towel into a bolster to put under an area to prop her into the position we needed her to stay in. It was easily washable and so many sizes of towels available to put in different places. Check with pet rescue mama if this is ok to do with dogs first. Also you can get used towels of all sizes almost free or inexpensively at Salvation army and Goodwill stores, and cut them up. Just check frequently and cut away stray strings that develop if you cut towels and blankets that may wind around a paw and make your dog uncomfortable.
Linda, I love your suggestion about rolling a towel to prop up a dog. Your comment about your mother's nurse reminded that my mother's nurse did the same thing when her Parkinson's Disease made it hard to sit up on her own.
my sweet little girl has just lost the use of her back legs.She is a three year old mini dachshund. It has all been overwhelming for us both,but we are coming together!!!Learning to Express her bladder was so scary for me but I did it,and we have a good routine going.My biggest fear now is sores so was glad to fine this group with so many questions answerd.Thanks for being here!!
Debbie, You passed a big hurdle in taking care of your dog when you learned how to express her bladder. I'm glad our stories are helpful. Feel free to reach out whenever you have a question.
Just picked up our old (17yr) Weimaraner "Eva" from the veterinary hospital where they watched her for us (4 nights) while we were away on vacation. Dropping Eva off she was in good health, could walk, and barley see her ribs and could even still hop up on the couch and her chair. However the morning of the day we were returning home (today) we received a call that Eva may have suffered from an overnight stroke resulting in her being paralyzed and a huge gash on her lip. We got there the same day they told this information and sure enough all that was true but she looked extremely underweight (ribs very visible) and very thirsty, but fully aware of her surroundings and breathing normally. They even mentioned euthanizing her to us. We denied that right away and took her home. Eva ate a full dinner when we got home and drank a lot of water, we followed that up with an aspirin. She also started to move/twitch her legs and feet more and more on her own. My question…Upon placing her down on the couch when we got home I noticed 4-5 bed sores on her deep enough where skin had broken away. What is the range of time you would estimate for these sores to develop and get to the point where they open and/or cause hygroma to form? Not looking for an exact figure but an estimated avg. time range. All of this happened today and we will be calling her vet first thing tomorrow to inform her of all that happened and what Eva's current status is like. Currently Eva is unable to stand on her own, but clearly has signs of movement across her body and can slightly lift her head for a period of time while laying down. Her tail is even now moving and becoming more active such as her leg movements. We're optimistic but HIGHLY concerned! Any help/advice from you and or community is much appreciated. Thanks.
I am fostering a 4 month old black mouthed curr mix rescue pup with back leg weakness due to a suspected injury from her newborn days. She has padded bedding while resting, but she bounces and drags mostly on the same hip. She gets abrasions that are soaked and treated daily. We do warm hydrotherapy and she is plenty active, even taking some steps…though her hip flexors are still very weak. The quicker she grows the sooner she is back to square one.
She is currently on preventative antibiotics and anti inflammatory meds. She is under the care of the rescue's veterinarian.
She refuses diapers and wrappings of any kind. She is teething. A drag bag was a no go.
She is developing what appears to be a hygroma on her bum from all the hopping and dragging. It is painful for me to watch when I take her out every day. She seems unphased and keeps on playing, but is there anything more I can do while we are waiting for the funds to come into the rescue for a wheelchair? Will she even tolerate the wheelchair when it comes? She is sweet, but ALL puppy through and through. She eats like crazy, growing faster every day and is happy as can be.
Trisha, Thank you and your group for rescuing this puppy. It sounds to me like this baby will be very happy when she gets a wheelchair. It will keep her from hurting herself and let her run as fast as she wants. I'm attaching a link to a post about How To Get A Donated Dog Wheelchair. It's full of groups who can help. And if you haven't already talked with the various dog wheelchair manufacturers, please reach out to them because they might be able to help with the cost. In the meantime, if you're looking to cover the area she drags, try putting her in a baby onesie. They're inexpensive and will cover her hip and legs. You can even use them to keep a diaper in place. You might be able to sew in extra padding where she bounces and hurts her hip most. Dogs seem to like onesies because it doesn't restrict their movement. Some pet owners say it's easier for their dog to wear them backwards. But you can decide for yourself. Here's a link to a story that explains it better: https://lessonsfromaparalyzeddog.com/5-ways-baby-onesies-protect-paralyzed-dog-save-money/ Best wishes.


When HK was made, as writer I was ever-present during pre-production. Not just for the writing, even. I saw tapes from the casting sessions. I saw wardrobe choices. Touring our location had a deep impact on how the script played out. I found music. Heck, I co-wrote lyrics to two of the songs in the movie. This is INDEPENDENT filmmaking. All hands on deck because we need all the hands we can find.
With Dorks, I feel like I'm actually going through the studio experience. "Writing done? Okay, we'll see you at the wrap." It's very weird to be connected with something for five years and then just hang out waiting for word. I'm a horribly impatient person so it's a special kind of purgatory for me. It's probably the more common Hollywood writing experience. Hopefully in doing things the right way, they'll also avoid some of the mistakes and missteps we had on HK, leading me to a new sense of pride even with a smaller sense of involvement.
This has been a real growth experience.
Now someone please tell me who will play who.

 tiene el aspecto de una niña de 13 años. Lleva el cabello negro largo y con flequillo, y tiene los ojos de color rojo o marrón café. Normalmente viste un seifuku negro o uniforme de colegiala, pero cuando llega la hora de ejecutar una venganza, siempre lleva puesto un kimono de flores.

Ai vive en un extraño lugar con una perpetua puesta de sol, en una casa tradicional japonesa junto a su abuela.

Personalidad

Ai Enma se nos presenta al principio como una joven taciturna, que no hace alarde de ningún sentimiento propio. Se limita a cumplir con su trabajo sin emoción, a pesar de que este consista en condenar a las almas de aquellos a los que va dirigida la venganza a una eternidad en el infierno. Cuando no está trabajando, la podemos ver bañarse y jugar en la tierra crepuscular donde vive con su abuela. Aun así, siempre muestra una expresión de profunda apatía, lo que nos demuestra que en el fondo no es feliz con lo que hace. Siempre dice cuando se presenta ante el cliente que quiere venganza.

Pasado
Cuando Ai era pequeña vivía en una aldea en Japón. Sentaro Shibata era su primo y amigo de la infancia. Sentaro era muy protector con Ai, una niña considerada un monstruo en el pueblo por sus poderes sobrenaturales, y maltratada y temida por ello.

Existía una costumbre en aquella región, sacrificar una niña de siete años al dios de la montaña cada siete años, para lograr su protección. Cuando el momento llega, Ai es la elegida. Sentaro se enfurece y acusa a los aldeanos de escoger a Ai a propósito por sus peculiaridades. Entonces los padres de Ai deciden esconderla y le piden a Sentaro que se ocupe de llevarle comida y ayudarla, ya que él es el único que puede hacerlo.

Esta situación se mantiene durante seis años en los que una fuerte hambruna sacude al pueblo. Sentaro se siente culpable, creyendo en cierto modo en la superstición del pueblo sobre el dios de la montaña, ya que él sabe que Ai no fue sacrificada, pero aun así no traiciona a Ai.

Como castigo por su terrible venganza, Ai es condenada a trabajar como Jigoku Shōjo, llevando la venganza a los demás.

Sobre ella (Jigoku Shōjo)
Vive en la "Aldea del Atardecer", una dimensión con la forma de un valle rodeado de montañas y cubierto con flores de lycoris, en cuyo centro hay un lago y una casa rústica. Allí está su abuela (a la que siempre vemos en sombra) y un ordenador por el que llegan las peticiones. Ai no trabaja sola ya que cuenta con la ayuda de sus asistentes. Estos son los muñecos utilizados para las venganzas, pero cuando se mantienen neutros asumen la forma de Ichimoku Ren, un atractivo joven de ropas informales; Hone-onna, una bella mujer que viste un kimono, y Wanyūdō, un anciano vestido con un sombrero y una bufanda roja. Cuando un pacto se sella oficialmente, ellos se encargan de castigar a la persona encerrándola en una ilusión sin salida antes de que Enma Ai (con las ropas de Jigoku Shoujo) lo envíe al infierno.

En el episodio 8 de la serie, se introducen dos personajes recurrentes más: un periodista llamado Shibata Hajime, que está investigando las historias relacionadas con Jigoku Shōjo, y su hija Tsugumi. Después de un encuentro con Enma Ai, en un tramo de la línea férrea, Tsugumi empieza a tener visiones de lo que Ai ve, y así esos dos personajes se encuentran cada vez más relacionados con sus actividades. La verdad es que Hajime no está de acuerdo con los métodos de Ai y cree que las personas deberían resolver sus problemas con otros medios en lugar de la venganza. Con la ayuda de Tsugumi, tratará de detener a aquellos que contratan los servicios de Jigoku Shōjo antes de que consumen su venganza. Según avanza la historia, Tsugumi se cuestiona si los métodos de Ai son tan erróneos como su padre cree. Las razones por las que sus pensamientos están conectados es algo que al principio desconocen, pero que nos son reveladas en los últimos episodios:

Tsugumi y Hajime son descendientes de un hombre llamado Sentaro Shibata, primo y amigo de la infancia de Ai.

Como se menciona anteriormente, Sentaro escapa del pueblo cuando observa horrorizado el acto de venganza de Ai hacia su pueblo. Años después regresa y lamentando lo que hizo, hace levantar un templo llamado "El templo de los siete". También abrió un negocio de dulces, cuyo caramelo negro sigue siendo ofrecido como ofrenda en el templo aún en la actualidad.

Como castigo por su terrible venganza, Ai es condenada a trabajar como Jigoku Shōjo, llevando la venganza a los demás, pero suprimiendo siempre sus propios sentimientos, o aquellos a los que amó vagarán por el infierno toda la eternidad.

Cuando descubre la relación de Hajime con Sentaro, Ai enfurece y trata de matarlos a los dos, pero falla. Por haber cedido a su propia venganza, Ai está a punto de ser arrojada al infierno por parte del mismo "Señor del Infierno", quien acostumbra tomar la forma de una araña durante la serie (que fue quien la transformó en Jigoku Shōjo tiempo atrás), pero logra escapar a su castigo. Ai decide entonces acabar con Tsugumi y Hajime a través de Tsugumi: le muestra como murió su madre, tras un accidente de tráfico después de que Hajime se negara a perdonarla por una infidelidad, y la negación de responsabilidad de su padre en la escena de la muerte. Tsugumi comienza a tener dudas. Afortunadamente, Hajime consigue regresar del mundo de Ai, en el que estaba preso, gracias a la ayuda de la abuela de Ai. A cambio, esta le pide a Hajime un favor que no llega a ser revelado en la serie.

Ai trata de hacer que Tsugumi tire de la cuerda roja situando a su padre en la misma escena en que en el pasado negó su culpa en la muerte de su mujer. Esta vez admite sus faltas y le dice a su hija que tire de la cuerda, ya que se merece ir al infierno. Esto enfurece a Tsugumi, que le pregunta si no disfruta de sus momentos juntos. Le confiesa que si pudo seguir adelante tras la muerte de su madre es porque él estaba ahí para ella. Ambos se abrazan y Tsugumi le devuelve el muñeco a Enma Ai.

Tsugumi le explica lo arrepentido que estaba Sentaro, y que por eso construyó el templo como muestra de culpa. Pero tras oír esto, Ai incinera el templo (no se especifica si lo hace como símbolo de la culpa de Sentaro, en cuyo caso significaría que deja marchar su resentimiento; o si por el contrario al quemar el templo Ai rechaza perdonar a Sentaro de ninguna manera). La temporada termina con Tsugumi y Hajime volviendo a su vida normal, y Jigoku Shōjo a su trabajo como vengadora. y busca vengarse por los demás por toda la eternidad.

Jigoku Shōjo Futakomori
Ai regresa a su trabajo, en el cual ella se esfuerza, pero desde el primer episodio se muestra que el kimono de Ai ha cambiado. Ahora parece más azul y posee un diseño de flores diferente. También se muestra cómo Ai se convirtió en Jigoku Shōjo, mostrándola con el viejo kimono. También aparece Kikuri. En este episodio se muestra cómo no sólo Wanyūdō se transforma en un muñeco negro, sino Hone-Onna en uno rojo e Ichimoku Ren en uno verde.

En el capítulo 14, aparece un nuevo personaje: un niño llamado Kurebayashi Takuma que acaba de mudarse a Lovely Hills con sus padres, pero un vecino suyo mata a su madre y hiere de muerte a su padre. Él no puede pedir venganza, porque siempre le dijeron que si haces algo malo se revertirá. El caso culmina cuando una mujer que iba a tener un hijo del vecino se venga de él, por aventarla por unas escaleras y perder a su bebé. Todos piensan que Takuma fue el que lastimó a sus padres, y lo llaman "El hijo del Demonio".

Takuma no vuelve a aparecer hasta aproximadamente el episodio 22, pasados tres meses desde lo ocurrido, donde se encuentra con una joven que al parecer no sabe lo que ocurrió meses atrás, y que ha tramado algo para irse de la ciudad y estafar a un hombre mayor. La esposa del hombre manda a la muchacha al infierno, no sin antes que ella le hubiese regalado el adorno de su celular a Takuma. Como se acercó a él y fue la segunda en desaparecer (el primero fue el vecino) le comienzan a temer más.

En el episodio 23 salen un detective, que investiga el caso de Takuma y su hermana menor Hakuto, que le trata de ayudar. El detective habla con Tsugumi y lee un libro escrito por Hajime, mientras Kikuri lleva a Hakuto al mundo de Ai y posteriormente ambos descubren que Takuma no era el responsable de las desapariciones, hieren al detective y Hakuto regresa gracias a Ai y huye con Takuma, pero los descubren gracias a Kikuri, el detective los rescata antes que mueran, pero también es enviado al infierno. Hakuto ya no puede soportarlo más y desesperada, envía una petición con el nombre de Takuma y ambos son llevados al mundo de Ai.

Los vengadores saben de lo ocurrido y no quieren que Hakuto mande a Takuma al infierno, pero Ai convierte a Ren en el muñeco y Hakuto lo jala, diciéndole a Takuma que irá justo después que él. Ai regresa la barca con Takuma, momento en el cual los vengadores, que estaban en la ciudad en desacuerdo con Ai, cuando están persuadiendo a kikuri para ver donde esta Ai ella de repente se calla y es poseída por el Señor del Infierno saliéndole un tercer ojo como los 3 ojos que tiene la araña y van a buscar a Ai.

La Ai humana tiene el aspecto de antes de morir, con su ropa antigua y sus ojos cafés. No reconoce a sus ayudantes, pero ayuda a Takuma a salvar a Hakuto y evita que la historia se repita muriendo en lugar de Takuma. La temporada termina cuando todos hacen su vida normal, y una chica recibe en su teléfono un mensaje en fondo rojo firmado por la Niña del Infierno.

Jigoku Shōjo Mitsuganae
Tiempo después de la separación de los Vengadores, Kikuri (en un juguete) junto con un niño llamado Yamawaro les dicen a Ichimoku Ren, Honne-Onna y Wanyūdō que Ai volverá. Entretanto, Hiraishi Itsuko y sus amigas tratan de vengarse de su maestro, pero al fallarle su amiga Takasugi Akie, decide utilizar a Mikage Yuzuki, la cual la noche anterior, mientras se bañaba, tuvo un encuentro con Ai, la cual la besó, metiéndose así en su alma. Itsuko le pide venganza a Ai, que usa a Yamawaro como muñeco y luego le dice a Yuzuki que ahora está "dentro de ella".

A partir de entonces, los Vengadores del Infierno (con Yamawaro y Kikuri en el equipo) se mudan a un escondite cerca de la escuela de Yuzuki y Akie, con "Ishimoto" Ren como maestro de Ciencias, "Sone Anna" como maestra de Educación Física, Wanyūdō como conserje y con Yamawaro como su ayudante. Las historias ahora no sólo son independientes, sino que son con gente relacionada con Yuzuki.

Ai ahora tiene que salir del cuerpo de Yuzuki, causándole dolor cada vez que va a realizar una venganza, vistiendo un kimono negro más alegre, con motivos japoneses tales como flores, abanicos y globos de papel movibles (una especie de combinación de los dos kimonos anteriores), terminando cada capítulo con una reflexión de Yuzuki.

Las venganzas son peores ahora, pues Ai participa junto con sus ahora cinco ayudantes, disfrazándose y "haciendo cosplay". Los ayudantes no sólo espían, sino que tienen un poco más de protagonismo.

A partir del episodio 13, un festival se realiza en el pueblo de Yuzuki: "La linterna de los seis escritos". Este hecho causa una gran revolución, ya que Wanyūdō le revela a Honne-Onna que en un momento del festival la puerta del infierno se abrirá.

Una nueva venganza toma lugar en el mismo episodio: Mayama Azusa, una mujer que le guarda rencor al jefe de policía del pueblo por encubrir un caso en el que su padre fue gravemente herido por un accidente con un ebrio. Este hombre era un hijo de una familia adinerada entonces todos hicieron como si el accidente nunca hubiera ocurrido. Azusa luego se revela como la tutora de Akie: la hija del jefe del policía. Azusa le cuenta el incidente a Akie, y le promete que nunca la enviaría a ella al infierno porque le agrada mucho. Akie vuelve a su casa conmocionada por lo que ha descubierto y le dice a su padre que se irá de allí.

Yuzuki y Akie van al festival y ambas piden un deseo escrito en una pequeña linterna. Yuzuki escribe "Jigoku Shoujo", y Akie escribe "Papá", pero finalmente decide marcharse y dejar a Yuzuki. Ella ve un resplandor extraño y lo sigue: es la puerta del infierno que se está abriendo, cuando intenta avanzar es detenida por una joven (Tsugumi Shibata) que le dice que si entra no podría salir jamás.

Azusa planea vengarse del jefe de policía, usando a Akie. Cuando se está bañando envía a un hombre para que abuse de ella, pero es detenido rápidamente por el padre de Akie y Yuzuki. Yuzuki y Azusa tienen una pelea por el muñeco de paja, y logra quedárselo. Yuzuki vuelve al festival y allí Enma Ai sale de su cuerpo vestida como luego de ejecutar una venganza, y le dice que ahora depende de ella. El muñeco de paja desaparece. Yuzuki se encuentra con Akie y corre emocionada, pero en ese instante presencia como Akie desaparece frente a sus ojos.

Luego de otras venganzas que ocurren cerca del entorno de Yuzuki, Ai se da cuenta de que su despertar puede estar cerca y que es hora de comunicarle su destino. Yuzuki logró reconocer a los Vengadores disfrazados de civiles.

Space Math Hero
Space Math Hero by the Swedish company inFocusmedia is a math application that offers practice sessions & quizzes using the basic arithmetic operations for whole numbers - addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. Space Math Hero is a multilingual application & can be deployed in English & Swedish. Its content is basically for students in grades 1-4. Space Math Hero provides practice & quizzes for addition and subtraction within 1,000, and multiplication and division within 100. What I love about this application is its implementation: the practice process is simple, detail-focused and effective, without distractions, when, on the other hand, quizzes are designed as an interesting game, with colorful illustrations. The way application is designed is very useful for kids' learning process: after the practice session, a student is able to evaluate knowledge through quizzes by playing the game. On opening, choose what you wish to do: to play or to practice. The practice page allows: - to select an operation (addition, subtraction, multiplication, division); - to choose from one of the two practice forms: consecutive (from simplest equations to more complex ones), or random (i.e. randomly chosen equations that cover the whole spectrum of acquired knowledge); - to select one of the 12 tables (from 1 through 12): table number defines the second operand in the equation (i.e., table 3 chosen for subtraction, means that the subtrahend will be equal 3 in all examples). The play page offers a math game: a student "fights for the survival of the 10 planets where evil math monsters attempting to destroy the Universe". To save the Universe, one has to go through 10 levels with 12 math quizzes for the level. The level with some wrong answers could be replayed. When the play is finished the whole scope of the practice, offered by Space Math Hero, is covered. GAME:
3 different difficulty levels, Ages 5-10, 7-12, 10-15
More than 6,000 problems to solve
Fun and stylish game that encourages learning
Save results and levels and switch freely between players
Built-in instructions
Structured and progressive difficulty levels
Problems include pairs of 10 and pairs of 100
Custom fraction and percentage challenges for mental arithmetic
Easy decimal problems suited for mental arithmetic
Individual score system with unlimited ability to improve your results
Things I would like to see in the future updates, and these are small, would be to include the Privacy Policy in the English version. The application Space Math Hero is directed to children under 13 & collects the email address of the player, which could be considered as personal information from children. In this case, the mobile application that is distributed in the USA, falls under COPPA (Children's Online Privacy Protection Act) and the corresponding privacy policy should be posted. Note from developer: The game does NOT "collect" the email addresses, or anything else for that matter. The email address is purely used in the game as a player separator for multi-user environments and never leaves the app in any form. Once downloaded from the store the app doesn't need/require a network connection to work nor an actual working email address. Space Math Hero is highly recommended and is a TWA pick because of its clear, short & well-balanced presentation, its ability to teach kids & to evaluate the learning process Tatyana Belyavskaya graduated from St. Petersburg State University with an M.S. in statistics. She also earned her Ph.D. in Operations Research from the same university. Tatyana taught programming, statistics and numerical methods in Telecommunications University, St. Petersburg, Russia for more than 20 years. She moved with her family to the USA in 1991. Over the next 20 years, Tatyana was a software engineer, a Web designer, a database administrator, and an information systems analyst. Prompted by their grandkids' math questions and problems, Tatyana and her husband, a software developer, decided to reach more children and help them master basic math skills. They founded the company Bel Math Apps and published a few tablet, phone and desktop applications for arithmetic practice. Tatyana's hobby is the history of the world and the human civilization.

Pleased to share details of this app and superb review.
Thank you for taking your time to review Space Math Hero we know how many apps there are out there seeking your attention.
A small note on the privacy question and collecting email addresses.
The game does NOT "collect" the email addresses, or anything else for that matter. The email address is purely used in the game as player separator for multi-user environments and never leaves the app in any form. Once downloaded from the store the app doesn't need/require network connection to work nor an actual working email address.
This is also why there is no privacy policy in place in the game. It simply DOESN'T send anything personal or in fact anything at all off the app.
In hindsight this could have been done in another way to clear all doubts and also included the PP in the app. We will make sure to include this in the coming update.
Thank you for your time and happy learning 🙂

The Amulet of Samarkand definitely lived up to, and is worthy of the praise it received. It is an imaginative, witty and thoroughly entertaining novel set in a universe where the veil between our world and the world of the demons can be breached.
In most fantasy novels that contain magic, the magic exists in an unexplained external source such as a locket, or an area of land, or the second more common option: inside the characters themselves. However, in Bartimaeus's world, the magic lies within the demons, and the human magicians merely use spells to summon demons to do their bidding. The demons become the slaves of the humans, unable to return to their home world until dismissed. As a reader, you sympathize with the demons who are forced to submit themselves to their human masters. It is but one of the many moral grey areas areas in the novel. There's also the fact that the magicians form the government, ruling the 'commoners' without their consent. And the way the apprentices are treated… There's a lot of serious topics that are brought up in the novel that could be discussed at great length.
Nathaniel is a promising young magician; he's cunning and smart, with an aptitude for learning. Yet, he is also in possession of too much ambition and pride for his own good. He rarely becomes attached to someone, more often he views people with contempt or hatred. However, beneath all the facades and bravery, Nathaniel does have a sensitive side and strong morals. On the one hand, you support his goals and want him to get revenge on Lovelace, on the other, you can't help but wonder if he's not somewhat of a villain himself. I'm very interested to see how he develops over the rest of the trilogy as at the moment, I'm not a hundred percent sure I like him. Not that it's a bad thing – it is not a requirement that main characters be likable, rather that they be flawed and interesting.
Bartimaeus is quite a character. Sarcastic and self centered, he's also a bit of a moral puzzle. He's presented as a big, tough bad guy, but from the start you can't help but wonder whether there's something more beneath all that. He really does appear to be much more bark than bite and this is cemented as the story progresses. Yet, he's still a djinni, he's still capable of terrible acts of violence and power. The djinni are fascinating creatures who can shape-shift, perform spells and see on seven planes (humans can only see on one). He has been around for millennia, and constantly references past events and people. This makes the world feel more real as it has been around before this individual story takes place and will continue to exist long after.The chapters that he narrates are filled with funny footnotes in which Bartimaeus inserts additional comments on just about everything. I got exited every time I turned the page and discovered more footnotes awaiting me.
The pacing of the novel starts off slow. The stage is set with careful precision and a keen eye for detail. Each element of the world and the plot is carefully laid out. Gradually, the story begins to build, becoming more and more complex until reaching a thrilling conclusion. The novel is filled with mysteries and secret plots, and there is always the sense of larger things going on in the background beyond those addressed in this book. It is impossible to wrap your head around everything at once; only at the end does everything fit together and become clear.
It is young adult, simply due to the sheer complexity and breadth of the tale, but it definitely has appeal to readers of all ages. Recommended to fans of fantasy!

Q: Knockout.js Two-way Binding: Number Formatted as String I have a bunch of amounts in my view model which are observables, and I want them stored as numbers because they are used in several calculations. However, when I bind them to textboxes in my view, I want them shown as a specially formatted string (1234.5678 => "1,234.57"). What is the best way to accomplish two-way binding in this situation, since I can't just use the value binding with my observable?
The user needs to be able to enter "1,234.56" or "1234.56" in the textbox which will store the number value 1234.56 in the observable, and if I change the number value (3450) via javascript, the textbox value needs to be updated to the new value, but formatted as a string ("3,450").
I appreciate the help!

A: I would implement something like the following:
JavaScript:
function ViewModel() {
    var self = this;
    self.dollarAmount = ko.observable();

    self.formattedDollarAmount = ko.computed({
        read: function() {
            return applyFormat(self.dollarAmount()); // pseudocode
        },
        write: function(value) {
            var parsedDollarAmount = parseFloat(value);
            if(!isNaN(parsedDollarAmount)) {
                self.dollarAmount(parsedDollarAmount);
            }
            else {
                // recommend adding validation of some sort
                // so getting here is less likely
                alert("invalid dollar amount");
            }
        },
        owner: self
    });
}

HTML:
<input type="text" data-bind="value: formattedDollarAmount" />

See the documentation on computed observables for more info: http://knockoutjs.com/documentation/computedObservables.html

A: see :
http://jsfiddle.net/Ty8PG/14/
ko.bindingHandlers.numericValue = {
init : function(element, valueAccessor, allBindingsAccessor) {
    var underlyingObservable = valueAccessor();
    var interceptor = ko.computed({
        read: underlyingObservable,
        write: function(value) {

                underlyingObservable(rawNumber(value));

        }
    });
    ko.bindingHandlers.value.init(element, function() { return interceptor }, allBindingsAccessor);
},
update : function(element, valueAccessor, allBindingsAccessor) {
element.value = number_format(valueAccessor()(), 2);

}

};

Jay and I had so much fun with Sarah and her bridesmaids during her "Trash the Dress" session! We could not have asked for a better day. While the girls were getting ready a storm blew over and dropped about an inch of rain. By the time they were ready to start the photos, the sky cleared and the sun came shining through. What was left behind though, made for some fun and muddy photos……..Check them out!

Percentage of grade 9 students who are on track to graduate
This displays the number of freshmen on track in this school. The percentage of freshmen on track is shown by the bold sections of each ring. The rings are color coded for the school, district, and state.
Percentages are listed along side the color key. Or, you can mouse over each colored ring to view the corresponding percentage in the center of the circle.
Click on View Trends to see long term data.
Students identified as "on track" have earned at least five full-year course credits (10 semester credits) and have earned no more than one semester "F" in a core course (English, math, science, or social science). Course credits from summer sessions are not included in this calculation. Freshmen on track is a key predictor of high school success. Students who finish the ninth-grade year on track are almost four times as likely to graduate from high school as students who are not on track. Research shows that the number of students on track and the graduation rate rise when schools actively intervene by identifying freshmen at risk and providing tutoring, additional instruction, and other individualized services.

The delayed decision of the United States to enter the First World War is a turning point in American History. It also followed a period of direct intervention in challenging or holding in check the Mexican Revolution by the Wilson administration. In this period we find a series of domestic labor strikes and aggressive crackdowns by armed militias occurred at Ludlow Massacre in Colorado and at Bisbee, New Mexico. The victorious war effort in Europe was particularly bloody and resulted in heavy losses for those American troops who were sent to the front in 1918. While the selections in this reader do not include documents on this phase, we shall use Alan Dawley's Changing the World: American Progressives in War and Revolution (2003) as a synthesis of the complex array of issues that were manifested in Wilson's New Freedom initiatives, and his League of Nations proposals following the war. While Wilson's proposal for joining the League of Nations was rejected by an organized conservative countermovement at home, Wilson's decision to occupy Haiti in 1915 also caused embarrassment for him at the Paris Peace Conference in 1919. Students interested in the League of Nations will profit from studying documents that have become available from the League of Nations archives now stored at the United Nations in Geneva, or at http://www.indiana.edu/~league/sites_documents.htm; or http://www.unog.ch/library/archives/faq.htm. In the aftermath of the withdrawal of US troops from Europe, Wilson engaged in an aggressive anti-communist tactics that included the landing of marines at Vladisvostock in Russia to support a counter-revolution against the Bolsheviks. This period also witnessed the suppression of radical labor movements in 1919 in Seattle, Everett and in Centralia. This was a harbinger of a trend to suppress and protect against the Red Scare, that saw the arrest, trial and execution of the anarchist bombers Sacco and Vanzetti, and the imprisonment of the Socialist Presidential candidate Eugene Debs.
As with the First World War, the entry of America into World War II was reluctant but ultimately transformative of the outcome of the war. The war also had profound domestic consequences. Much of the modern infrastructure of the Western states was built and developed as a consequence of the war and its immediate aftermath. For women at home the war transformed daily life as millions entered new trades or were relocated. Young men of military age became military migrant workers and were uprooted to serve overseas. Many of those who returned relocated in new states often at long distances from their former homes.
The Second World War is also a war between empires over resources. From the 1930s Japanese, British, French, American overseas empires were in regional conflict, and continental empire expansion waged by Germany, and to a lesser extent Italy, that came into direct conflict with the Soviet Union's empire in East Europe and Asia.
Empire is a dangerous concept and manifestation of power for it racializes or denigrates those who are on its borders or regions it conquers and occupies. We know from the history of the 20th century that the ideology of sustaining empire relies upon racist assumptions of identity and difference and these are used by totalitarian or authoritarian states in acts of genocide and mass killing of civilian populations in an effort to depopulate areas that are desirable for recolonization by the conquering nation.
Further research into the devastation of civilian lives prior to and during World War II reveal staggering numbers and the horrific costs of total war. The ideologies of empire and racism that promulgated world war were directed against minorities and civilian populations in states and regions that were targets of acquisition.
Several sources on the impact of these wars may be appreciated.
In 1945, General Eisenhower ordered the filming of the devastation uncovered at the death camps run by the Nazis that led to the deaths of millions of Jews, Gypsies and dissidents. This film is viewable at the Internet Archive link here. This film should be required viewing may be used against any and all holocaust deniers.

Licensure Reciprocity: Connecticut
The state should help to make licenses fully portable among states for effective teachers, with appropriate safeguards.
National Council on Teacher Quality. (2015). Licensure Reciprocity: Connecticut results. State Teacher Policy Database. [Data set].
Retrieved from: https://www.nctq.org/yearbook/state/CT-Licensure-Reciprocity-70
Certificated out-of-state teachers may be eligible for a comparable professional educator Connecticut license if they are nationally board certified, have taught for two years in the preceding 10 years and hold a master's degree in the subject area. The state now mandates that teachers with at least two years of experience must be exempt from completing the beginning educator program if they can show "effectiveness as a teacher...which may include, but need not be limited to, a demonstrated record of improving student achievement."
Connecticut allows out-of-state teachers to be exempt from the state's subject-area and basic skills tests if they either 1) have three years of "successful appropriate" experience in the past 10 years, or 2) have a master's degree in the subject area. Out-of-state applicants who meet all criteria except for Connecticut's assessment requirements may be issued a one-year, nonrenewable interim certificate.
Connecticut is a participant in the NASDTEC Interstate Agreement, which outlines which other states' certificates will be accepted by the receiving state. This agreement is not a collection of two-way reciprocal acceptances, nor is it a guarantee that all certificates will be accepted by the receiving state, and is therefore not included in this analysis.
Public Act No. 15-108 (2015) Educator Certification http://www.sde.ct.gov/sde/lib/sde/pdf/cert/obtaining1109aw.pdf
Require evidence of effective teaching when determining eligibility for full certification.
To facilitate the movement of effective teachers between states, Connecticut should require that evidence of teacher effectiveness, as determined by an evaluation that includes objective measures of student growth, be considered for all out-of-state candidates. Such evidence should indeed be a factor for candidates who come from states that make student growth an important factor of a teacher evaluation, especially in a state such as Connecticut, which requires evidence of student growth to be the preponderant criterion of its teacher evaluations (see "Evaluation of Effectiveness" analysis).
Regarding the testing exemption, Connecticut may be on the right track with its requirement of "successful" teaching experience, but the state does not articulate that this is meant to be effectiveness as measured by a strong teacher evaluation system. Further, the requirement of three successful years in the last 10, although likely intended as a recency requirement, would also appear to allow multiple years of unsuccessful or ineffective teaching as well.
To uphold standards, require that teachers coming from other states meet testing requirements.
Connecticut should insist that out-of-state teachers meet its own testing requirements, and it should not provide any waivers of its teacher tests unless an applicant can provide evidence of a passing score under its own standards. This is especially important when it comes to out-of-state teachers who have passed content tests that do not rise to the level of Connecticut's standard, such as an elementary content test that requires a passing score on each content core subject (see "Elementary Teacher Preparation" analysis and recommendations).
Offer a standard license to certified out-of-state teachers, absent unnecessary requirements.
Connecticut's requirements for a comparable license appear burdensome to both traditional and alternate route out-of-state teachers. An advanced degree is particularly problematic as the earning of such is not an indicator of effectiveness in the classroom, and requiring one for a comparable professional license is likely to deter talented individuals from applying for licensure in the state.
Evidence of effectiveness is far more important than transcript review.
In an attempt to ensure that teachers have the appropriate professional and subject-matter knowledge base when granting certification, states often review a teacher's college transcript, no matter how many years earlier a bachelor's degree was earned. A state certification specialist reviews the college transcript, looking for course titles that appear to match state requirements. If the right matches are not found, a teacher may be required to complete additional coursework before receiving standard licensure. This practice holds true even for experienced teachers who are trying to transfer from another state, regardless of experience or success level. The application of these often complex state rules results in unnecessary obstacles to hiring talented and experienced teachers. Little evidence indicates that reviewing a person's undergraduate coursework improves the quality of the teaching force or ensures that teachers have adequate knowledge.
New evaluation systems coming on line across the country which prioritize effectiveness and evidence of student learning offer an opportunity to bypass counterproductive efforts like transcript review and get to the heart of the matter: is the out of state teacher seeking licensure in a new state an effective teacher?
Testing requirements should be upheld, not waived.
While many states impose burdensome coursework requirements, they often fail to impose minimum standards on licensure tests. Instead, they offer waivers to veteran teachers transferring from other states, thereby failing to impose minimal standards of professional and subject-matter knowledge. In upholding licensure standards for out-of-state teachers, the state should be flexible in its processes but vigilant in its verification of adequate knowledge. Too many states have policies and practices that reverse these priorities, focusing diligently on comparison of transcripts to state documents while demonstrating little oversight of teachers' knowledge. If a state can verify that a teacher has taught successfully and has the required subject-matter and professional knowledge, its only concern should be ensuring that the teacher is familiar with the state's student learning standards.
States licensing out-of-state teachers should not differentiate between experienced teachers prepared in alternate routes and those prepared in traditional programs.
It is understandable that states are wary of accepting alternate route teachers from other states, since programs vary widely in quality. However, the same wide variety in quality can be found in traditional programs. If a teacher comes from another state with a standard license and can pass the state's licensure tests, whether the preparation was traditional or alternative should be irrelevant.
Licensure Reciprocity: Supporting Research
Many professions have gone further than teaching in encouraging interstate mobility. The requirements for attorneys, for example, are complicated, but often offer certain kinds of flexibility, such as allowing them to answer a small set of additional questions. See the Comprehensive Guide to Bar Admissions Requirements 2014, published by the National Conference of Bar Examiners and the American Bar Association, available at https://www.ncbex.org/assets/media_files/Comp-Guide/CompGuide.pdf.

Netflix Recommendation – Bandersnatch – With Every Good Wish!
The film I watched over new year was the Black Mirror Bandersnatch film. This film was highly anticipated, and I had been waiting for it to be released. If you don't know already it was a virtual film where the audience pick how the films ends.
The film follows a young programmer start to question reality when he adapts a mad writer's fantasy novel into a video game.
I really enjoyed the interactive aspect of the film as it felt like I was more involved with the outcome of the film. However, if you just wanted to chill and watch a film this probably isn't the one for you as you do have to pick quite a few answers to different questions they ask so you do have to pay attention.
I think is a one-time watch film as I do not feel the need to watch it again as even if you chose the wrong answer you get directed back round to the correct answer or the one they want you to give so no matter what you pick you end up with the same ending there is just different ways to get to the ending.
I would however recommend the film to anyone who was looking for something a bit different to watch. I am a big fan of the whole Black Mirror series so would recommend watching the other episodes I do think they do make you think about issues in society such as social media.
My college and adult kids always talk about Black Mirror and how great it is. I'm going to have to check them out!

'FBI,' 'FBI: Most Wanted' and 'FBI: International' Get Two Season Renewal at CBS
by Shelby Scott May 9, 2022

We're edging ever nearer to summer. But, while we're happy for the warm weather, that means some of our favorite shows have ended or are coming to an end. Fortunately for fans of CBS's "FBI" series though, the news isn't all bad. To our relief, that break will only be temporary because the entirety of the "FBI" franchise has been approved for not just one, but two, season renewals following the 2021/2022 season.
That's right "FBI" fans, take a breath. "FBI," "FBI: Most Wanted," and "FBI: International" might be headed toward their year-end finale at the end of the month. However, CBS plans to air all three shows again this fall. ET delivered the good news regarding the "FBI" season renewal Monday afternoon.
As per the outlet, the series' latest renewal brings the flagship show, "FBI," through to its sixth season. As for "FBI: International" and "FBI: Most Wanted," those two shows will see their 3rd and 5th seasons, respectively.
Kelly Kahl, president of CBS Entertainment, spoke to the renewal of the "FBI" franchise, and further praised its success.
"The 'FBIs' are one of the most successful brands in the entire TV landscape and a powerful cornerstone of our #1 lineup," Kahl boasted. "They've attracted a dedicated, loyal fanbase thanks to the extraordinary vision of executive producer Dick Wolf and the talents of all three outstanding casts and creative teams."
The CBS Entertainment president summed, "I know we and our viewers look forward to two additional seasons of engaging, heroic stories."
'FBI' Mastermind Dick Wolf Speaks to Franchise's Multi-Season Renewal
Kelly Kahl represents CBS's views regarding the "FBI" franchise. However, Dick Wolf, the mastermind behind these series, not to mention the "One Chicago" and "Law & Order" franchises, took a moment to celebrate the multi-season renewal of "FBI."
"Everybody who works on these three shows is over the moon about the multi-year pickups," Wolf said. He continued, "We are all incredibly grateful to CBS and our partners at Universal Television and CBS Studios."
The highly regarded executive producer further shared his thanks for those involved with the creation of the "FBI" franchise.
"I personally would like to thank the incredible casts, talented writers and dedicated producers, not to mention three crews who never missed an airdate despite the difficulties of producing full seasons during the COVID-19 pandemic."
The "FBI" franchise itself has gained a massive fanbase over the years. And a lot of the series' success has to do with its cast members. When the three shows return in the fall, following their finales, fans look forward to some beloved actors' returns. Two include Zeeko Zaki and Missy Peregrym. The latter, however, will return with some good news though, as she's temporarily leaving "FBI" on maternity leave.


Use pipes to connect your pumps with ponds. Protect your base pump at all costs!
Choose the location of your base pump carefully. Once placed, you cannot move it. If another player destroys your base pump, you're out of the game.
As you level up, you'll unlock better equipment such as bigger pipes, more powerful weapons, placeable defense objects and water processors. Water processors can be used to heat, filter and purify the water which increases the flow rate of your pipes.
Ponds will be depleted over time, so make sure you plan ahead.


"I definitely, definitely want a family...I've been blessed to have an amazing mom and two amazing sisters — so they set a very high standard," he says. "Obviously looks play a big part. Being attracted to someone plays a big part, but there's also so much more than that for me. It's about finding someone sweet and kind — and that has a servant's heart. It's about finding a girl who likes me for me, and not because of what I do or who I am or the name."
These leather toe-sock shoe-things Prada showed for spring: discuss.
"I think design has led the consumer attitude change," Oaten said. "And also a younger generation whose passion is not animal rights. They're very motivated on environmental issues, more than on animal rights issues, and that for us represents a new industry demand, because we have gone a long way to ensure welfare is of the highest standard.
"There is less focus on welfare. Maybe it's because we've got our act together, maybe it's because attitudes have changed, maybe it's because they're seeing fur more on the catwalk, in magazines and in products that they like," he explained. "The younger generation loves fur trim, and they are buying it."
True, Cathy Horyn is my girlfriend. Nevertheless, I feel it necessary to cudgel Gaga for her badly informed, dumbing-down opinion that an uninformed opinion is as valid as that of a seasoned critic — as though Gaga and Bridget Foley of WWD or David Denby of The New Yorker or Ben Brantley of The New York Times or Brooks Atkinson or Pauline Kael or any professional critic is just another opinion and that Gaga's vacuous thoughts deserve the same status. Grow up, Gaga.


More common in newer grills, Heat Plates are also known as burner shields, tents, radiation shields, or heat angles. It protect the burner from corrosive grease and drippings that fall from food especially meat during grilling. It also disperse heat that the burner produces evenly throughout the grilling surface that helps prevent uneven cooking and maximizes your grilling space to fit more meats. Although these plates serve the same purpose as a rock grate, there are some advantages of using it over rock. Aside from lightweight and easier to replace, it vaporize drippings so that they don't build up on the plates themselves and do not harbor bacteria. It come in materials like stainless steel, porcelain, and porcelain coated stainless steel. All of these materials are able to protect your burner, and when the meat drippings fall onto the gas grill heat plates, it release the flavor from the drippings into the air surrounding the grill. The aroma of this vapor adds flavor to your food, so you should pick a material that goes well with your grill and that you enjoy.

Naira Crashes To N470/$1, As Turnover Drops By 59%
@cynthia |Business |
source: ripplesnigeria
The Naira has, once again, weakened at the black market as the exchange rate at the parallel market suffered its second depreciation of the year. The exchange rate between the Naira and Dollar at the black market closed at N475/$1 representing a N3 drop when compared to the N472/$1 it closed on January 8, the last trading day for the previous week. This is the second time the Naira will depreciate this year after it had traded at N470/$1 for almost two weeks since December 29, 2020. The pressure experienced at the black market, according to market experts, can be attributed to a surge in demand as holiday makers source for forex to return to their bases abroad. Demand for forex by parents of Nigerian students who school abroad have also increased as they rush to fund their tuition and allowances, and this is likely to sustain the pressure at the black market which has been a major source for price discovery for the foreign exchange market. At the NAFEX (I&E Window) where forex is traded officially, the exchange rate closed at N393.33/$1, a slight appreciation from the N393.50 recorded on January 8. The drop in Dollar supply is occurring at the same time there was a price increase on Monday, sustaining the previous trading day's increase. The exchange rate at the I&E window has held steady despite the major depreciation on the last day of trading in 2020 when it closed at N410/$1. The exchange rate disparity between the parallel market and the official market also widened again to N81.67, representing a 17.2% devaluation differential. The opening indicative rate was N393.69 to a dollar on Monday, representing a 20 kobo loss when compared to the N393.49 that was recorded on Friday, January 8. The N411 to a Dollar was the highest rate during intra-day trading before it still closed at N393.33 to a dollar, while also selling for as low as N350.27/$1 during intra-day trading. Forex turnover dropped from $65.63 million on Friday, to $61.73 million on Monday, while the average daily forex sale for last week was about $169.93 million, which represents a huge increase from the $34.5 million that was recorded the previous week. However, increased demand is expected in the coming days as exporters strive to fulfill letters of credit obligations through their local banks.

The Toll of the Sea (1922) is an American silent drama film, directed by Chester M. Franklin, produced by the Technicolor Motion Picture Corporation, released by Metro Pictures, and featuring Anna May Wong in her first leading role. The film was written by Frances Marion and directed by Chester M. Franklin (brother of director Sidney Franklin), with the lead roles played by Wong and Kenneth Harlan. The plot was a variation of the Madama Butterfly story, set in China instead of Japan.

Preservation status
The film was the second Technicolor feature (after 1917's The Gulf Between), the first color feature made in Hollywood, and the first Technicolor color feature anywhere that did not require a special projector to be shown.
The film premiered on 26 November 1922 at the Rialto Theatre in New York City, and went into general release on 22 January 1923.
When young Chinese woman Lotus Flower sees an unconscious man floating in the water at the seashore, she quickly gets help for him. The man is Allen Carver, an American. Soon the two have fallen in love, and they get married "Chinese fashion". Carver promises to take her with him when he returns home. Lotus Flower's friends warn her that he will leave without her, and one states she has been forgotten by four American husbands, but she does not believe them. However, Carver's friends discourage him from fulfilling his promise, and he returns to the United States alone.
Lotus Flower has a young son, whom she names Allen after his father. When the older Allen finally returns to China, Lotus Flower is at first overjoyed. She dresses in her elaborate Chinese bridal gown to greet him. However, he is accompanied by his American wife, Elsie. Allen has told Elsie about Lotus Flower, and it is Elsie who persuaded her husband to tell Lotus Flower the real situation. When the boy is brought to see his father, Lotus Flower pretends he is the child of her American neighbors. Later, though, she confides the truth to Elsie and asks her to take the boy to America. She tells the child that Elsie is his real mother. After Elsie takes the boy away with her, Lotus Flower says, "Oh, Sea, now that life has been emptied I come to pay my great debt to you." The sun is then shown setting over the water, and it is implied that Lotus Flower drowns herself.

Because the Technicolor camera divided the lens image into two beams to expose two film frames simultaneously through color filters, and at twice the normal frames per second, much higher lighting levels were needed. All scenes of The Toll of the Sea were shot under "natural light" and outdoors, with the one "interior" scene shot in sunlight under a muslin sheet.
The film is recognized by American Film Institute in these lists:
2003: AFI's 100 Years...100 Heroes & Villains:
Lotus Flower – Nominated Hero
Believed to have been lost in the 1967 MGM Vault fire, it was restored by the UCLA Film and Television Archive, under the supervision of Robert Gitt and Richard Dayton, from the 35mm nitrate film original camera negative in 1985. As the final two reels were missing, Gitt and Dayton used "an original two-color Technicolor camera" to shoot a sunset on a California beach, "much as the film's original closing must have looked." Because modern film technology was used to create a color print instead of the original Technicolor Process 2, which involved cementing together two film strips base to base, the resulting image quality is better than the original prints appeared.
The restored version is available as one of the titles included in the 4-DVD box-set Treasures from American Film Archives, 50 Preserved Films.

Mother Feather announces new album, 'Constellation Baby'; stream scorching first single "Red Hot Metal" now
September 6, 2018 September 6, 2018 by RockMetalNews
Share the post "Mother Feather announces new album, 'Constellation Baby'; stream scorching first single "Red Hot Metal" now"
New York City's Mother Feather have perfected the formula to pay homage to the roots of punk'n'roll and heavy rock injected with their own brand of the divine feminine, and since their debut album have been keeping the audience on their toes. The evolution of their high-energy "pop cock rock" surges forward this November with their sophomore album Constellation Baby, out via Metal Blade Records / Blacklight Media.
The first taste of the new Mother Feather comes in the form of lead single "Red Hot Metal", now available to stream and download. Just like you'd expect from the name, the track embodies the smoldering nature of the NYC five-piece, radiating controlled adrenaline, highlighted by the production of Grammy-nominated Joshua Valleau. Explains lead singer Ann Courtney, "'Red Hot Metal is a deathmatch wrestling event of the anxious mind. It's a fever dream of some of the darkest hours writing the new songs for the album, as I fought to keep my grip on my sanity and the wheel of an old – but fast – red car."
"Red Hot Metal" indeed gives the listener a vibrant mental image – and Brooklyn Bazaar will witness their glittery, smoky stage presence later this month. Mother Feather will be opening up for metalhead disco-rockers Tragedy this September 29 – for more info, please visit: https://www.facebook.com/events/260967624482743/
Mother Feather's Constellation Baby will be available November 2 via Metal Blade / Blacklight Media, and is available for pre-order now at: https://metalblade.com/motherfeather/ – where you can also stream "Red Hot Metal" (also posted at the end of this post).
More on Mother Feather:
New York City. The lights go down, Mother Feather stride onto the stage. The bass frequency clarion call that kicks off their opening song charges its way through the packed room, a ripple of electricity riding off its back. Vocalist Ann Courtney steps to the microphone and purrs the first line: "I need your full attention…" And she's got it. What follows, every single time the quintet stand before an audience, is pure rock and roll catharsis, for Courtney, for her band mates, and for every individual crammed into the room.
Mother Feather made their introduction with two independently released EPs, which were then released as their 2016 self-titled debut full-length on Metal Blade. Now, the band makes their Metal Blade return with their sophomore album Constellation Baby, an extension on the band's self-styled pop cock rock, with catharsis bleeding through the speakers in the form of gritty, garage-y glamour. Their songs marry the scratchy yet catchy, swaggering and dangerous sounds of The Stooges, New York Dolls or The MC5 with the playfulness, pop sensibilities and exuberance of the finest 90s alt-rock, a little upbeat 50s rock n' roll thrown in for good measure. Combined with Courtney's overtly optimistic, inspiring lyrics, the band deliver an energizing and irresistible concoction that captures the attitude and beating heart of New York City on its best day, empowering everyone in their path.
Of course, the band is far bigger than Courtney alone, having surrounded herself with her best friends, who happen to be extremely talented musicians. Every member plays an intrinsic part when bringing the songs to life, both on record and when unleashed on stage. She affectionately refers to guitarist Chris Foley, bassist Matt Basile and drummer Gunnar Olsen as "three beasts", all of them bringing so much attitude, energy and personality to the songs. Then there's keyboardist/vocalist Elizabeth Carena, only ever "Lizzie" to Ann, whose interplay with Courtney is one of the most electrifying facets of their performances. "She's my best friend, my hype woman, and we support and play off each other. I think it's such an exciting, empowering thing to see two women on stage supporting each other and totally committed to pop cock rock. It's an overtly feminist statement. I get excited when I see women with their eyes lit up in the crowd."
Still, as thrilling as the album is, when it comes to Mother Feather all roads lead back to their incomparable live show. While some may look at the costumes, the makeup and the choreography and see the band as heirs to the crown of the likes of David Bowie and the mystique-chasing glam rock stars of the 70s, the last thing the band want is separation between artist and audience, the connection between them integral. "When I'm on stage it's not a persona. Mother Feather is not a character. Mother Feather is the real me. Who I am off that stage is more of a persona," she states plainly. "To make that connection with people you must commit, wholly, and that means being present in every breath and dance move. That's where the space is, to be wild and crazy and nasty and vulnerable, the space to be terrifying. I want to see everything in a rock show. I want the horror, I want the beauty, I want the fun, I want it to be garish. I want it to be wild, I want it to be loud, I want the drama, I want the camp, I want it to be stripped bare. I want to have the whole world for dinner. So that's what we try to do, every single time."
