A "beer style" or "style of beer" is typically a term used to categorize beers by considering a variety of factors. Common factors include the appearance, flavor, ingredients, origin, history, and production method. One of the first official styling structures was created by Michael Jackson, the writer not the pop star, in his 1977 book The World Guide to Beer. His work was advanced by Fred Eckhardt in 1989 with the publication of The Essentials of Beer Style.
Unfortunately, there is no universally agreed-upon list of beer styles which can make it difficult to unequivocally identify certain types of beer. Along with the popular publications of Jackson and Eckhardt, other commonly used style guidelines are based upon popular beer competitions. They include the World Beer Cup, CAMRA (Campaign for Real Ale), BJCP (Beer Judge Certification Program), and the Brewing Industry International Awards.
The first way to determine the style of the beer is by looking at its origin. The geographic origin of a beer plays a significant role in determining what ingredients are used, what the original flavor profile is, and may affect the brewing process. For example, there is a noticeable difference between an American, English, and Belgian IPA. The same is true for all types of beers.
Another popular way to determine the style of a beer is by focusing on the ingredients and the brewing process. Any number of ingredient combinations can churn out a different beer based upon the brewing process. Similar to styling by location, styling by ingredients in the brewing process can be difficult as well. It has become even more complicated with the introduction of hybrid beers.
The pilsner is not only the most popular styles of beer in the world, it's also the youngest. It is a light, clean and simple pale lager. Usually a light to golden yellow, the pilsner features a strong hoppy flavor that is both fragrant and slightly bitter.
Wheat beers are actually similar to some of the first brewed beers. They are a mixture of barley and wheat grains and have very little hops presence. They are typically cloudy in appearance and the range of flavors is significant depending on the type of wheat used. Traditionally, this style of beer accounts for many popular summer and spring seasonal brews.
The brown ale typically has a dark brown or amber color. Historically, it is an extremely old style of beer whose history can be traced back to un-hot ales. They typically have a higher malt level which gives them an earthier and less bitter flavor. Brown ales may also have a slightly sweet flavor.
The pale ale is one of the most popular beer styles in the world. Made by a warm fermentation method and pale malt, this style has a wide range of flavor and strength. In the UK, a pale ale has a strong malty flavor whereas in the United States it has more hops.
The India Pale Ale, also commonly referred to as an IPA, comes from the 1700's when English troops lived in India. Additional hops were added to their typical beer to keep it from spoiling before their ship reached Indian shores. This style is known to have a strong hoppy flavor with a slightly bitter taste. The color of an IPA can range from a light golden yellow to a darker red amber.
A bock beer is stronger than your average beer. This popular beer style has a robust malt flavor. The bock originates from German monasteries where it was used as sustenance during Lenten fasts, but is now commonly brewed all around the world.
Orginally brewed in London in the 18th century, the porter is a very dark style of beer. A porter includes roasted malts or roasted barley, and are typically mild beers with hints of chocolate and toffee.
Stouts are always 100% opaque and are consistently the darkest beers. The head of a stout beer is extremely thick and usually brown. They have a controversial history, however it is widely believed that the stout style originally derived from porters. They feature a heavily roasted flavor and often contain hints of chocolate, licorice, molasses, or coffee.

I remember when I was planning my first Cape Wrath Trail expedition a few years ago. I was desperate to find any information I could about the trail, from whatever source.
The lack of one place to find everything I was looking for and the venerable nature of some of the guides prompted me to start writing the new guide.
I remember being particularly keen to see photos of the trail. Although I'd walked extensively in some of the areas, there's nothing like seeing the terrain you'll be up against.
That's one of the reasons I set up the Cape Wrath Trail group on Flickr, so we could build a collection of photos from the trail cataloguing each section. I hadn't quite bargained on the encyclopaedic contributions from @ttwff.
I was astounded to find his superlative Flickr set containing more than 5000 shots from the trail. It is almost like having Google Street View for the Cape Wrath Trail.


It is generally agreed that when traveling on a bike, it is safer to look up at the road instead of down at your handlebars. But if you're using your smart phone or GPS device to figure out how to get somewhere, you may be stuck looking down in a rather distracted way more often than you want to be. Designer Kim Tae-Jin came up with an interesting solution for that. The concept design for Open Sight brings your eyes back up to the road while telling you how to get from point A to point B. Yanko Design writes, "The Open Sight GPS beams out powerful directional laser arrows that are visible even during the day. So basically you end up concentrating on your path rather than consulting the GPS interface for directions."
Open Sight would be petal-powered, and function much like existing GPS devices, but with the addition of a bright laser projection telling you when to turn which way. The designer also points out that the laser projection works for safer riding in low light or at night, since it is added light that drivers will notice.
Is this a concept device you'd be interested in using? Let us know what you think in the comments.
This concept device puts the navigation instructions on the road in front of you, where your eyes should be, instead of on the handlebars.

Why It's Important To See Asian-Australians On Screen In This Racist Country

"I am only going to explain this once because I am so tired of explaining it to privileged, over-represented people time and time again."
by Michelle Law 20 August 2018
So, I have a bone to pick with Asian representation in western media.
While channel surfing a couple of weeks ago, my boyfriend and I landed on a Survivor promo that has since disappeared from TenPlay called 'Champions v Contenders: Choose Your Steve'.
In the promo, viewers are encouraged to back either Steve, the hardcore Commando Steve from The Biggest Loser (so a typically masc, white Australian man) or Steve, an Asian delivery man edited to look comical and weak in comparison, whose talking head was about his strategy of "being sneaky".
Afterwards, my boyfriend and I became very quiet, and then we began swearing at the TV like an R-Rated version of Gogglebox.
We were furious because we're both Asian, and we both work in the performing arts industry, and despite the terms "diversity" and "representation" being bandied about to the point where they've become buzzwords, nothing seems to change for Asian-Australian people.
Or, maybe this is a problem that extends to Asian people living in any western country.
Asians At The Party
Despite the success of films like Black Panther, Get Out, Coco and Hidden Figures, there is still so little cultural diversity on our screens.
A recent report from the University of Southern California about diversity in Hollywood, which analysed the top 100 films each year since 2007, found that while the percentage of white characters in these films decreased slightly over time (they still nabbed a whopping 70.7% of all speaking roles last year), the number of non-white characters in 2017's list was grim: 12.1% Black, 6.2% Hispanic, and 4.8% Asian characters. The behind the camera figures are just as, if not more, depressing.
It's evident that all the fears online commentators had about diversity "changing the culture" and Hollywood succumbing to the "PC police" was not only discriminatory — it's also completely unfounded.
My critique of Crazy Rich Asians is that it doesn't represent people like me, Vietnamese-American men aged 31 who grew up in the suburbs of Massachusetts and had two dogs growing up, a yellow labrador that died and was later replaced by a golden doodle. My piece:
— Kevin Nguyen (@knguyen) August 13, 2018
In Australia, there are a handful of brilliant initiatives and organisations (such as CAAP, with whom I've been lucky to work with) fostering Asian Australian creatives, but Asian people still rarely feature in Australian narrative shows. (We do great on reality cooking shows because apparently cooking and serving people is the only thing audiences are comfortable seeing us doing.)
Which is why there's such excitement about big blockbuster films featuring Asian representation like Crazy Rich Asians.
In the lead up to the US release of Crazy Rich Asians, actors from the film spoke to The Hollywood Reporter about their excitement and what it meant to them as Asian-American artists.
It's the first major studio film to feature an all-Asian lead cast in 25 years, following The Joy Luck Club in 1993. It's a big deal.
The actress and rapper Awkwafina spoke about how many Asian American people have an inexplicable urge to cry when they see the movie, and how she empathised with that, having teared up seeing rushes during filming.
"I've never seen myself as a character in a movie," she told director Jon M. Chu at the time. She'd never been allowed to just be as an actor.
Buying my ticket to Crazy Rich Asians opening day tomorrow, where I will show up at a non-descript theater and recite all of my lines at the screen while eating an entire Cosco chicken.
25 years, baby. Let's show them how much this matters. 🥠🎉🍾
— AWKWAFINA (@awkwafina) August 15, 2018
I have always known on a political and intellectual level that representation is vital — it validates our experiences, normalises our differences, and humanises people and communities.
But when I saw Crazy Rich Asians, I couldn't stop sobbing. I cried because the film's an incredibly well crafted tearjerker. I cried because I was relieved that it was brilliant. (There is so much riding on this film as THE Asian film that will make or break the future successes of Asian stories and actors on screen. And it's been criticised for not representing more Asian identities, which is understandable, however I'd say that it's unrealistic and unfair to expect one film to right decades' worth of Hollywood's wrongs.)
I cried because I didn't have to undertake the automatic and unconscious process of having to project myself onto white characters.
But mostly I cried because I felt my world and my future open up to me: as a westernised person from the East Asian diaspora, I finally, profoundly understood that I could have dreams and flaws and relationships and families that are real and not just punch lines.
I understood that in my gut; I didn't just understand it in my head. It's one thing to imagine that for yourself through white characters; it's another thing to be seen.
Dreaming Of Being White
Because I'm Australian and I've never even been to China, I have only ever consumed Australian media. And in all of the shows, movies, magazines and advertisements I saw growing up, I rarely saw anyone who looked like me.
And when I did, the person was either a docile or feisty (pick one only) sex worker, cleaner, assistant, mail order bride or international student. They always had foreign accents, and their main purpose was to be a hypersexualised and exotic beauty ripe for consumption by white and therefore powerful men.
'Homecoming Queens' Is The Hilariously Messy Comedy That Australia's Been Waiting For
My boyfriend and my male Asian friends only ever saw themselves in characters who were weak, unattractive and nerdy — anyone worthy of ridicule. They worked computers, or delivered takeout, or performed surgery, and they always lost out to the perceived natural smarts, athleticism, and good looks of white men. When Asian men weren't represented, they were forgotten, and when they were, they were made the fool.
As an Australian-born Asian, or as an Asian person who's spent their formative years in a western country, you learn to internalise the hatred and disdain that others have for you. You start to believe other people's racism is valid, and so everything bad that people say about you must be true.
So, you deny your culture. You deny your language. You deny your customs. You even start denying people of the same ethnicity who are embarrassing you because they present as "too ethnic".
You dream of being white.
That immediate self-denial — that you are less than, that you don't belong — is rife in Asian communities.
And it's stronger than ever: remember how Kelly Marie Tran was bullied off social media after copping racist abuse from Star Wars fans?
my friend cosplayed Rose at the premiere of TLJ and got to meet Kelly Marie Tran and she told her how much Asian representation means to her and how important Rose is and there are pictures of them hugging and crying and wow my friend is so valid

As model minorities, we're either afraid to speak out against racism (because people are more upset about being called racists than with racism, which makes the POC look like a troublemaker) or too tired to call it out (because making others more comfortable is less exhausting than having to justify our own discomfort to privileged people).
Acting Asian In A Racist Country
I've always wanted to be an actor, but I chose to become a writer because I wanted more agency and control in a racist country.
I wanted to create leading roles for myself and other people of colour, like Hsiao-Ling Tang, who plays the mother character in my play, Single Asian Female. Tang was 19 when she graduated from drama school, fully trained and ready to be a working actor in Sydney. But there were no meaty roles for someone like her.
"I had a 100% strike rate, which was unheard of, but that's only because every role I went for was a bit part ethnic character," Tang tells me. "You let a lot of things slide when you're young and wanting to work; my older self is pretty ashamed at the way I allowed myself to be treated."
Hsiao-Ling Tang and Alex Lee in 'Single Asian Female'.
Again, this comes back to those feelings of self-denial embodied by so many Asian-Australians. Tang had a long acting hiatus where her opportunities dried up and she left the industry.
"[I thought] I'm just not going to be an actor anymore."
However after starring in Single Asian Female, and then Rice by Michele Lee, Tang was suddenly flooded with acting opportunities:
"It was insane, like nothing I'd ever experienced before. I think they saw how many different things I can do and now I'm being cast in roles that aren't necessarily written for ethnic people."
An Idiot's Guide To Representation
"Stop complaining," some readers are probably saying to themselves right now. "What about in China? What about Bollywood? You don't see white people in Asian productions, but you don't call that racist!"
I am only going to explain this once because I am so tired of explaining it to privileged, over-represented people time and time again.
1) Asian films are not normally about the experiences of people who are part of the Asian diaspora. They are about Asian people in Asian countries doing Asian things with other Asian people.
TL;DR? Not all Asian people are from Asia so they cannot relate to "Asian" stories. NEXXXXXT.
2) When Caucasian people feature in Asian media they are often idolised. For example, if a white person speaks Cantonese terribly on a TVB show, they're applauded and revered for being so damn smart.
They're not stereotyped either; they simply exist as a part of that show's world. Western and European beauty is also highly prized in East Asian cultures, which is why blepharoplasty (double eyelid surgery) is such a common procedure and skin bleaching products sell bucketloads.
3) Asian people in Asian countries care less about representation because they live in widely mono-ethnic countries; they're the majority, and so they're in charge of their stories. (It's why Crazy Rich Asians may not be released in China, because Chinese people in China cannot empathise with the Asian-American experience.)
Scarlett Johansson in Ghost in the Shell was a cool novelty in Japan because there is Japanese representation in the original Ghost in the Shell anime and manga.
Matt Damon in The Great Wall didn't bother Chinese audiences because he was acting in a fantastical story about a period in Chinese history that has been dramatised in Chinese productions before.
Emma Stone in Aloha didn't bother Hawaiian-Chinese audiences because nobody saw it because it was a terrible film.
In Western countries, Asian people do not get to tell their own stories (with a few wonderful exceptions, like Fresh off the Boat in America, and The Family Law in Australia). Yellowface and white-washing offends us because there are already so few Asian people in our media with whom we can identify.
You also have Asian Australian actors finally getting a role for which they're suitable, only to have that opportunity stolen from them by a white actor.
4) For many [racist] people, the solution is simple: if you don't like being underrepresented or misrepresented, then go back to where you came from.
It's funny… when a white Australian complains to me about being swamped by non-English speaking migrants I'm inclined to tell them the same thing.
If only centuries of migratory patterns caused by displacement due to war, poverty and colonisation was that simple.
Crazy Rich Asians beating a Mark Wahlberg film at the box office is vengeance.
— E. Alex Jung (@e_alexjung) August 14, 2018
Building My Own Goddamn House
Constance Wu, star of Fresh off the Boat and Crazy Rich Asians wrote on Twitter in the lead up to the Crazy Rich Asians US premiere:
"My friend Ava DuVernay says, 'I work in an industry that really has no regard for my voice and the voice of people like me and so, what do I do? Keep knocking on that door or build your own house?' My dear Asian-American friends, we are building our own damn houses. We got the tools, the ability and we definitely got the style. Just because others don't see it, doesn't mean we don't have it. We do. I've seen it."
Wu and DuVernay are right. The talent is there in America: but it's in Australia too.
I don't know how we'll reach the same heights as Crazy Rich Asians in Australia; I'm just one of the powerless creators that Wu is talking about — I'm not a producer, or an executive, and I don't work for a broadcaster.
But I know that I can't rely on those people, either, no matter how well intentioned or allied to our cause they may be.
So, I'm going to build my own goddamn house. I'm going to build it on a hill, and I'm going to fight and die on that hill, even if I don't see outcomes in my lifetime.
White visitors are always welcome round for a cuppa in this house, but Asians and other POCs are invited to come on as co-owners. Why? Because they'll know to take off their shoes without me having to ask them.

Cut-price Action Fluff: Escape Under Pressure (2000)
Matty's words on this two star time-killer from the prolific Unified Film Organization.
Ostensibly 'Die Hard (1988) on a cruise ship' — or, you know, another Speed 2 (1997) — Jean Pellerin's ESCAPE UNDER PRESSURE was done better by Jim Wynorski as the similarly themed Final Voyage (1999), which just about pipped Pellerin's film to the post release-wise. Of course, in the murky, convoluted realm of millennial DTV distribution, which flick truly came first is anyone's guess. Pellerin's potboiler and Wynorski's programmer both yield 1999 copyright dates, but the latter apparently premiered in Malaysian cinemas four months ahead of Escape Under Pressure's opening in South Africa in February 2000. Their American home video releases further muddy the waters: Escape Under Pressure hit stateside TV via HBO in May '00 with a VHS and DVD bow following in November; Artisan dropped Final Voyage on tape and disc in the June between them. Either way, it's mostly irrelevant: the pair of them were part financed and/or snagged and sold by Alan B. Bursteen's New City Releasing, and Bursteen was more than happy to supply each movies' distributor with a McTiernan-indebted shelf/schedule filler.
However, although Final Voyage is the superior offering, Escape Under Pressure ain't a total write-off. It's not good as such, but it's an acceptable bit of fluff that should quench anyone's thirst for cheap-o action. Stilted and boring for its opening half hour, Pellerin's jankily scripted quickie jumps up a notch once Harry Van Gorkum's nasty merc commandeers the ocean liner that hydro technician/unassuming hero Rob Lowe (cast prior to his stalled career getting a second wind thanks to The West Wing) has boarded to help save his floundering marriage. Van Gorkum's motivation is some Ancient Greek artefact (which, as far as production value goes, looks closer to a bit of tat you'd find at a car boot sale than a priceless antique) that his greedy, art-collecting boss, Craig Wasson, wants but it doesn't matter. Instead, just enjoy Pellerin's mostly successful attempts to mask Escape Under Pressure's budgetary and narrative shortcomings with immersive handheld camerawork and tension-building Dutch angles. They're a little rough on occasion, admittedly, but these tried and true visual tricks aid the sense of frenzy that Pellerin seems to be aiming for during his moderately exciting set pieces. The bulk of the CGI on show is fairly well done too — even if the pulpy, vaguely 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea (1954)-esque design of the subaqueous stuff is at marked odds with the rest of the film's aesthetic.
Produced by Phillip J. Roth's Unified Film Organization, scenes for Escape Under Pressure were shot atop the Morris Dam near Azusa, California, and, as with Final Voyage, aboard the retired RMS Queen Mary, which has been permanently moored in Long Beach since 1967, serving as a hotel, museum, and tourist attraction.
Released in the UK as 'The Cruel Deep'.

The site was previously a narrow entrance to a school which was demolished to make way for a new housing estate. The developers were reluctant to build houses on this part due to anticipated difficulties with foundations due to the large trees present, which required the use of piled foundations.
The shape of the site defined a simple layout featuring reception/waiting at the front and a single corridor through to a fire exit onto the back. The reception has good visibility of all circulation areas.
Accommodation at the site was maximised by using attic trusses for the roof construction which provided space for a conference room, health visitors office and two admin rooms.


Nine Snow Hill athletes announced their intent to play in college, headlined by future Maryland Terrapins' wrestler Decklan Fischer.
Decklan Fischer never really expected wrestling to take him anywhere big.
When he was in fifth grade, a young Fischer joined the wrestling team in hopes to learn moves that would help him take down his two older brothers, who were normally beating on him.
Fischer discovered that wrestling came natural to him, but almost quit the sport two years later because his heart didn't appear to be in it. But through clubs and practice, he stuck with it and ultimately joined Snow Hill's team once he entered high school.
Over his four-year career, Fischer tallied many wins, broke records and established a reputation as one of the top wrestlers in his class on the Eastern Shore.
One of Fischer's biggest accomplishments came in January when the senior broke his older brother's record for most wins in school history. Suiting up in the 138-pound class, the wrestler was a force for Snow Hill, tallying more than 135 total victories.
When it came time to decide whether he wanted to take his skills to the college level, Fischer once again followed in his older brother's footsteps, committing to the University of Maryland College Park's wrestling program.
His older brother, Camden, wrestles for Lehigh University — a Division I program.
Fischer signed his national letter of intent Wednesday at Snow Hill, but he wasn't the only Eagles athlete who will take their game to the next level.
Eight other members of the school will head to college programs after graduation, having athletes at each level of the NCAA.
Snow Hill produced four college football players in A-Monty Allen, Ray'shon Baine, Stanyle Coulbourne and Jordan Bishop.
Bishop and Baine will suit up at the Division III stage, playing for Lebanon Valley and Wesley, respectively. But Allen and Coulbourne will stick together, taking the gridiron at Bowie State University.
Allen was the sole player from Snow Hill to earn an All-Bayside first team nod in 2017, while Coulbourne was awarded a second team selection.
Going through a frustrating recruiting process, Allen said he felt like giving up at times and putting his football career to the side.
The senior had experienced much frustration during his time with the Eagles' football team. In October, Snow Hill finally won its first game since 2014, in a tight battle against Washington. Throughout the season, Allen had also dealt with injuries, while playing multiple positions due to a lack of depth.
But wanting to make his family proud and play the sport he loves, the Snow Hill running back pushed through the adversity and eventually found a new place to call home.
The Eagles also sent off a trio of soccer players, as Zack Donoway signed with Lycoming College, while Kelsey Hall and Haley Cook announced their commitment to Washington College and Notre Dame of Maryland University, respectively.
Bailey Lambertson also signed with William Peace University for softball.
Having won the Bayside South Player of the Year award in 2017 to go along with multiple first team honors, Hall said she's ready to take her game to the next level. Wanting to stay close with her family and friends, the multi-sport athlete chose a school where she could meet new people while still being close to home.
With a large group of athletes heading to college, Hall said it speaks volumes to the program's dedication to its players and teams.
While she's excited to take the next step in her own journey, the Snow Hill senior hopes her success will send a message of determination to the current Eagles' athletes.
Though they might be playing in the small town of Snow Hill, Hall said anything is possible with hard work and support from coaches and teammates.

Sheldon Adelson Bets Big on Romney – and He's Just Getting Started
The right-wing casino magnate could drop $100 million on this election

Sheldon Adelson just staked another huge bet.
The international casino magnate made history during the primary campaign by funneling an astonishing $20 million into the SuperPAC supporting, of all people, Newt Gingrich. He's on the record saying he doesn't much like Mitt Romney, because he's a slippery fish who won't give firm committments.
"He's not the bold decision maker like Newt Gingrich is," Adelson explained during the primary campaign. "Everything I've said to Mitt, [Romney responds,] 'Let me look into it.' He's like Obama."
Nevertheless, Adelson is cutting a $10 million check to the Romney SuperPAC, Restore Our Future, according to a report in the Wall Street Journal. This donation would put Adelson first among Romney donors, displacing Texas McMansioneer Bob Perry. (For more on the top donors to the Romney SuperPAC, read my recent Rolling Stone piece.)
The rapprochement is not unexpected. Romney met with Adelson a couple weeks back — the same day he was palling around with birther Donald Trump. And Adelson's donation is a strong sign that the billionare and the Republican nominee have come to see eye to eye. Besides Adelson's obvious interest in the gambling arts — he owns the Venetian in Las Vegas — he is fiercely hawkish on issues relating to Israeli security, particularly vis à vis Iran.
Perhaps the more eye-popping figure from the Journal report is that Adelson's donation to the Romney SuperPAC represents only 1/10th of the money he plans to drop in this election cycle – $100 million in all.
It is not immediately clear whether this sum is already accounted for in the reported $1 billion war chest Romney's richest right-wing allies are building up. According to the Journal, much of Adelson's lucre is expected to fuel Karl Rove's "dark money" machine, American Crossroads GPS, which does not disclose its donors.

To drum up interest in its new five-storey flagship retail shop in New York, Microsoft has been pushing through a few guerrilla marketing strategies, which you may well have seen last year if you were traversing the streets of the Big Apple in October.
Several campaigns were running towards the end of last year, with food trucks being positioned around the city offering workers a free lunch. The trucks were decked out in the familiar Microsoft Windows blue and hungry people were not only given a free bite to eat but also advised to upgrade their day at the new flagship store, WinBeta reports.
But that's not all. The company also offered people free tickets to a Pitbull concert on October 26th. The first 1,000 people in the queue for the flagship store opening on that day were given two free tickets to the event.
The third strategy employed by the brand involved the use of vending machines dotted around the city that dished out free Xbox Ones and Surface tablets if people tweeted directly from the machines.
There are many benefits to guerrilla marketing campaigns, great news for anyone who's yet to try this kind of strategy. For example, they can be very cost effective, often have the potential to go viral very quickly if done right and are both unique and memorable, so your company is sure to stick in the mind of consumers for a lot longer.
To find out how you could turn this marketing strategy to your own advantage, get in touch with us here at Ambient today.


Coach Rollins welcomed my son to the team with an open-mind, open-heart and offered my son the opportunity to become a part of something far more valuable than a football team with a lot of W's. My son became a part of the "Patriot Family". Coach Rollins was there to push him, encourage him and put him back on the right track when he faltered. It gives me great pleasure at home to say, "If you don't complete your assignment or chores, I'm telling Coach Diesel." Your name has great level of respect in our household and for that, I thank you for all you do on and off the field.
My son Elliot wanted to try out for football one year ago not knowing anything about the sport just video games! So we signed him up & it all began. What we gave Coach Diesel to start out with was a shy & quiet kid. He signed up for his first Owning the Trenches Camp last year & did a 360 change! He was learning about football & self-discipline. I had a son that was so impacted that he changed in school, better grades & doing homework. He has a positive outlook & a don't quit attitude from being coached by Diesel. We are looking forward to this years Owning the Trenches Camp!
David "Diesel" Rollins is a native Floridian born and raised in the Orlando area. He is the youngest of five children. Coach Diesel fell in love with the game of football at the early age of 10. He contributes his success to the positive influences he was exposed to through the sport and the spiritual guidance of his mother and father. In addition to football, Diesel participated in track & field, weightlifting and wrestling at Lake Brantley High school. His participation in state level athletics afforded him the opportunity to attend Jacksonville University on a football scholarship. After college, Diesel moved back to Altamonte to be a part of Lake Brantley High School's elite football and weightlifting program. He has been recognized as Seminole County Public School's employee month in 2014-2015. Currently, Coach Diesel serves as the freshman defensive coordinator, Varsity defensive lineman/strength coach, varsity boys/girls weightlifting coach and youth football coach in Altamonte Springs. He currently uses this outlet to mentor and develop future athletes and positive members of society. David "Diesel" Rollins is making his vision a reality through his newly founded corporation "Owning the Trenches".
It's unbelievable how amazing Coach Diesel is with every age. Our 8 year old son, Hayden, had never played football before. Coach Diesel encouraged him, built his confidence and taught him so much. Coach can go from working with a group of high schoolers to a group of 3rd graders and adjusts his technique and style to best suit the needs of the kids surrounding him. The kids respect him deeply and it shows both off and on the field. Your kids couldn't be in better hands with Coach Diesel. He holds a special place in our hearts and always will. We have invested a great deal of time and money in several other training facilities and camps with our older son. Coach Diesel's skill sets and expertisematches or surpasses any camp or training facility we have been to.

News & Media > DUEL BY THE SEA! Rising Challenge Tour Stars Set for Ras Al Khaimah Showdown
DUEL BY THE SEA! Rising Challenge Tour Stars Set for Ras Al Khaimah Showdown
The big tournament buzz is descending on Ras Al Khaimah as the emirate readies to host this month's Ras Al Khaimah 2016 Golf Challenge – the penultimate event on the 2016 European Challenge Tour – at the spectacular Al Hamra Golf Club, the emirate's very own home of golf.
Setting the pace in the coveted Road To Oman denouement are a clutch of players that have been in-and-around the top of the Challenge Tour leaderboard all season. English duo Jordan Smith and Sam Walker currently occupy the top two slots on the overall leaderboard, with New Zealand's Ryan Fox hot-on-their-heels in third place.
Smith, is top of the pile and already has a Challenge Tour 2016 win to his name this season. The 23-year-old Englishman consolidated his position with a second-place finish in the recent Kazakhstan Open, where he finished runner-up to Walker.
"I am really looking forward to it," said Smith. "I have never been to that part of the world before, so I am very excited to experience the culture of Ras Al Khaimah. I can't wait to play the course either as I have heard a lot of good things about it. Overall, I'm really keen to get out there and have some fun."
Walker believes his win in Kazakhstan, the 38-year-old's second Challenge Tour victory of the season, gives him the perfect springboard to challenge Smith as the Challenge Tour leaders prepare for a shoot-out at Al Hamra Golf Club.
"It is a new venue for the Challenge Tour and because of where it is located I think it will be one of the best places we've played at all season," said Walker. "I have only heard good things about the course and although I haven't been there myself, I am really excited to go there."
Sponsored by the Ras Al Khaimah Tourism Development Authority (RAKTDA), the Ras Al Khaimah 2016 Golf Challenge will gather a field of 105 players from 16 nations in a battle for a US $350,000 prize purse. The tournament is expected to draw the region's sporting enthusiasts to witness world-class action on the fairways.
"International events of this stature cement our vision as an emerging golf destination. As we continue to position Ras Al Khaimah as a tourist hub for adventure and wellness, Ras Al Khaimah is the ideal venue and host to provide first-class facilities for players and spectators alike," said Haitham Mattar, CEO of RAKTDA.
UAE interest will see Dubai-based Michael Harrdine challenging on a course designed by his father Peter Harradine.
"The Challenge Tour has so many experienced and emerging players, it's always a very strong field," said Harradine, who also plays for the Swiss national team. "I've obviously played a few more rounds at Al Hamra than most of the field but that isn't really a factor when you're in a field as accomplished as the one lining up in Ras Al Khaimah in a few weeks."
The inaugural Ras Al Khaimah 2016 Golf Challenge runs from Wednesday 26 - Saturday 29 October.
The 7,325-yard Al Hamra Golf Club is one of two 18-hole, all-grass courses in Ras Al Khaimah, the other being the 7,199-yard Tower Links course which meanders through a mangrove reserve.
The Ras Al Khaimah 2016 Golf Challenge has attracted a marquee line-up of international sponsors including RAKTDA as title sponsor, Al Hamra Golf Club, RAK Rock, Stevin Rock, RAK Chamber, BMW and Rivloi as event sponsors, and Waldorf Astoria, Voss Water, Wicked, icflix and Nike Golf as event partners.

I would have to agree that the question "A Dime & A Nickel Gives How Many Pennies?" is a bit confusing from a cognitive accessibility/usability/internationalization standpoint.
The user must uncheck this checkbox to submit the form, "I am a Robot. Uncheck this if you're Human."
You left the "I am a Robot" checkbox checked and the message will only send for Humans."
I do get spam but it's from humans about SEO junk so they're manually filling out the form and submitting.
I used to have a CAPTCHA question that said "Is Fire Hot or Cold?" which seems like a simple question to answer for any user.
Just another idea I wanted to throw out there.
> works in Linux using LYNX webbrowser.
>> international traffic, "dime" is probably not clear to non-native speakers.
>> In those cases I usually use something like "thirteen if you take away six"
>> or "19 minus twelve leaves"
>> so it should be accessible as well.
>>> letter number things often used.

Three Sport Athlete Max Durtschi Has Fingers Crossed for Olympics
Max Durtschi, shown competing at the USA National Championships, utilized the Idaho Digital Learning Academy to help him finish high school while he was racing as a cross-country skier and a professional bike racer.
You would think Max Durtschi would have had his hands full as a pre-med student studying neuroscience at Dartmouth College.
But, after competing on the world stage in cross-country skiing and bicycle racing for nearly half his life, Durtschi realized he missed the goal setting and the regimen of training that had dominated his days.
He went after a third sport, landing a spot with the U.S. Biathlon team. And now he has his fingers crossed and his legs scooting strong in hopes of landing one of four spots with the team in the 2018 Winter Olympics in South Korea.
Max Durtschi raced for Sun Summit Cycling in his early career.
"My chances are slim to none since I'm still relatively new to the sport, this being just my third season," said Durtschi, who is competing with nine others for those four spots plus an alternate spot. "But we have another series of international races in January, and I've learned that you never know what can happen in sports. I'm just going to put forth the best effort I can and trust everything will fall in place."
Durrschi, 26, grew up racing with the Sun Valley Ski Education Foundation's Nordic team, his lean, muscled 6-foot-2 and a 165-pound body a familiar sight whizzing down the steep cross-country ski tracks at Lake Creek north of Ketchum.
He had success on national and international levels as a junior cross-country skier. Then he added bike racing to his portfolio, going pro as an 18-year-old high school student, even though he had been recruited to ski by Dartmouth College in New Hampshire.
In 2009—the year he turned pro—he represented the United States internationally in both cross-country skiing and cycling. And he won two national bicycle championships—in Road Race and Criterium—riding with a fractured hand.
Max Durtschi compted in the inaugural cyclocross race in Sun Valley.
While a six-year- member of the U.S. National Cycling team from 2008 to 2013, he also rode for Garmin-Cervelo's continental program for two years, then competed as the only American on Leopard-Trek's European squad based in Lucca, Italy, for another two years.
"I was on the U.S. team but I was sometimes employed by European teams where no one else spoke English," he said.
Durtschi competed in some of the world's biggest bike races, including Tour of Utah. He also competed in Europe, Arica, Asia and North and South America, learning a useful amount of Italian, French and Dutch along the way.
Riding through African jungle and desert sand was made all the more bearable by seeing fans lined up six and seven deep kilometer after kilometer.
Max Durtschi, shown her racing for Garmin, had to work on his upper body strength after returning to cross country skiing.
Bike racing is a thrilling, exciting beautiful sport, Durtschi said. But it's also one of the scariest since it comes with a lot of bad crashes—often in foreign countries where racers can't decipher what the doctor is telling them.
Durtschi crashed during a high-speed descent in Africa when he couldn't get around an accident, flipping off the road.
"Afterwards, the doctor noted a stinger in me—a stinger he couldn't identify. Luckily, it turned out not to be so serious," he said. "You have to accept that accidents are part of the game because the sport is so fast, so competitive. It's just accepted you will have a bad injury along the way."
Everything is more difficult when racing abroad, including putting up with hotels that lack electricity, Durtschi said.
"When you have unnamed bugs crawling around the wall, it makes being on a bike the most relaxed part of your day," he said.
Durtschi also learned to be smart about the food he ate in places like China as he watched teammates become violently ill.
"But I met a lot of interesting people from different cultures and saw some remarkable countryside scenery in China," he said. "We finished one stage on top of a mountain and it was remarkable how much the mountains looked like the front range of Colorado or the Wasatch Mountains in Utah."
Durtschi eventually decided he was ready to be a college student in the fall of 2013. But, while skiing with college buddies that winter, the young man who'd grown up skeet and trap shooting with his father realized he wanted to try biathlon.
That June he received an invite to the U.S. Biathlon Talent ID Recruiting Camp in Lake Placid where he was put through several days of rigorous testing in the weight room. Team managers charted every pull-up and sit-up and clocked his uphill running stints.
Identified as a potential major talent, he was ushered to the Olympic Training Center in Lake Placid, N.Y. He moved up quickly, competing internationally his first year. The second year he made his World Cup debut in Canmore, Alberta, in 2016.
"The first year I spent so much time getting in and out of the shooting position that my knees and elbows were bleeding," he said. "The sport is tough, and so you've got to be prepared for that."
Durtschi quickly learned that biathlon is the most popular televised winter sport on the European continent. He watched, amazed, as 120,000 tickets for a World Cup biathlon meet sold out in one day.
"I really enjoy the places we go. Usually, they're nice ski areas like Sun Valley," he said. "I really like Italy for scenery. And Nove Mesto in the Czech Republic, which hosted the 2013 Biathlon World Championships, was so cool because of all the fans. But, as much as I enjoy seeing different venues , getting back to Sun Valley is pretty dang special."
Biathlon is even more difficult than it looks, Durtschi said. The targets are small and shooting when the heart is racing is difficult. Sometimes his fingers nearly freeze on the trigger in blustery weather.
Not only does he have to know how hard he can ski without diminishing his chances of acing a shot, but he has to keep track of things like humidity and wind.
Cold, dense, moisture-laden air magnifies the influence of wind. On cold days biathletes must compensate by raising their sights. Even falling snow can affect shooting as the light reflected from it makes the target appear brighter, reducing some shooter's accuracy
"You think biathlon is skiing with shooting—but it's not. It's a whole other sport," said Durtschi. "More often than not, you nail three of five components. But to do well in biathlon you need to nail every component. You need to ski fast and shoot efficiently. And, when it all comes together, it's an amazing feeling."
Durtschi uses a rifle that belonged to Willie Neal, a former member of Sun Valley Ski Education Foundation's Olympic Development Team. Neal was killed while rollerski training in Maine in 2009 when he was struck by a motorist who was reaching for his cell phone.
Durtschi is supported by USA Biathlon, as well as PowerBar, the Willie Neal Environmental Awareness Foundation and Ketchum's Play Hard Give Back.
He relishes every opportunity he gets to train on the familiar trails of his youth. The trails at Galena Lodge and Lake Creek, he says, are just as difficult as any he's skied in World Cup races. And he loves the view from the White Clouds Nordic trails at Sun Valley.
But, he notes, while it's easy to ski the trails, it's more difficult skiing around with a rifle and ammunition--especially if you want to shoot that rifle.
"Luckily for me, Sun Valley's Head Nordic Coach Rick Kapala and his team are can-do. They're able to make things work," he said, describing how Kapala helped him secure gym time and Sun Valley Company and the Hurtig Shooting Center at Ohio Gulch have provided him with appropriate shooting venues.
Durtschi has stayed in contact with all his early Sun Valley mentors including Billy Olson of the Powerhouse Pub in Hailey, Chris Mallory of the Sun Valley Ski Education Foundation and Bob Rosso and Nappy Neaman at The Elephant's Perch.
Durtschi says he often hears the words of Rick Kapala in his head as he trains.
"Some of the biggest things he stressed were: Trust yourself, trust your training and just go for it. Be a good human being first, then a good skier. He's produced some world-class athletes, but he's produced even more world-class human beings," he added.
Now Durtschi is trying to pass it on as he serves as a volunteer ski coach and a consultant for elite athletes wanting an extra edge and citizen athletes wanting an enhanced fitness routine.
"One thing I've learned over the years is never give up," he said. "Biathlon is a pretty brutal sport. It involves lots of travel and training, and it puts you through so many highs and lows. But, if you can stay focused on what you want, you will make it through."
And, that, he said, includes his tiny window of opportunity for the Olympics.
"I just want to give it my best effort. And, even if I don't go to the Olympics, I can focus on having a good second half of the season."
Max Durtschi's favorite quote is from Admiral William Halsey: "Touch a thistle timidly and it pricks you. Grasp it boldly and its spines crumble."


Firstly, all this new DLC and ATS coming out soon has gotten me hyped up. Sick of driving European crap (sorry boys), started modding ETS2 with american trucks, (has a more, unique, imported feel?) with trailer mods ive used before and whatnot.
Starting with ProMods, a massive land expansion which goes through Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Finland, France, Germany, UK, Netherlands, Belgium, Liechtenstein, Switzerland, Austria, Italy, Estonia, Latvia, Island (currently here, amazing!), Faroer Islands, Slovenia.
Lots of new added countries, plus updates and more cities to already existing countries. Definitely recommend.
Currently the main truck mod I use at present. Amazing, it might be that i havent used one since, well ever being ETS2, (always driven a MAN), its a fantastic mod. Sounds great, pretty good mod options, worth testing if you're into American.
Jazzycat is well known for adding massive mod packs with trailers, cars, and general game extending and randomising.
This just adds far more real life cars into the AI traffic.
Jazzycat again, this time with more styles and loads of trailers. Do recommend, it also adds more missions to cities.
Sand that T800 mod is not the same as in the picture..
Its same mod. The picture doesnt have the wing/spoiler that i have at the top of sleeper cab.
No the mod you linked has almost no tuning options.. not the same mod.
Sand, which version of ETS2 do you need for that map mod (With Iceland and other places)? Also, do you need to download all parts and move them to your map folder(I want to download the 1.91 version)? And..My Steam version seems to crash all the time (No idea how.. but nobody knows xD), but my normal version doesn't crash.. can I just move my mods to the normal version?
I have the latest on beta, so 1.19.0.19s.
The Promods link i posted above tell you what version of ETS is compatible with each version of PMs.
You put the 3 .scs files in documents/ets2/mod. Both retail and steam version use same mod folders bro. you shouldnt need to move anything.
Downloaded v1.91, all four parts and the ''dev'' file. Unpacked the files, put em in my mod folder, started ets2, created new acc and.... crashed.. Yesterday I updated ETS2 to the latest version.

Another defensive stalwart sidelined
Cornerback Ward has injured calf
CLEVELAND — The Browns are down another defensive star.
Starting cornerback Denzel Ward, who leads the NFL in passes defensed and is coming off his best game this season, will miss time with a strained calf he sustained in Sunday's win over Philadelphia.
Ward's injury is just the latest to a big-name player for the Browns (7-3), who are already missing dynamic end Myles Garrett. He'll miss his second straight game this week at Jacksonville (Sunday, 1 p.m., CBS) as he recovers from COVID-19.
Garrett, who has 9 1/2 sacks and made several game-swinging plays, tested positive for the virus last Friday. It's not known when he'll return.
Cleveland has managed to stay in the playoff picture despite not having running back Nick Chubb for four weeks, starting guard Wyatt Teller for three and wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr., who is out for the season with a knee injury.
To this point, the Browns have been able to overcome the injuries — and COVID issues — and are in position to make the playoffs for the first time since 2002.
On their day off, the team also placed defensive end Joe Jackson on the COVID-19 reserve list. He joins Garrett, fullback Andy Janovich and offensive lineman Chris Hubbard. Janovich and Hubbard have both also tested positive for the virus.
Jackson did not play in Sunday's game and hasn't played since Week 4 at Dallas. The Browns claimed him off waivers from the Cowboys in early September.
Ward intercepted Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz and had several pass breakups in the 22-17 win. He underwent an MRI on Monday. The Browns may place him on injured reserve, which would keep him out for at least three weeks.
Ward has been having a Pro Bowl-caliber season. He leads the league with 15 passes defenses and he's anchored a secondary decimated by injuries. Other than Garrett, he's easily been Cleveland's best defensive player.
Early in Sunday's game, Ward blitzed and hit Wentz just as he was delivering a pass, which was intercepted by linebacker Sione Takitaki and returned 50 yards for a touchdown.
Ward made the Pro Bowl in 2018 after the Ohio State standout was selected by the Browns with the No. 4 overall pick.
He was supposed to pair this season with cornerback Greedy Williams, but he suffered a nerve injury in his shoulder and hasn't played in 2020.
With Ward sidelined, the Browns could slide nickel back Kevin Johnson into his spot and use Tavierre Thomas in the slot.

BOUQUET OF DEATH: WHY ISIS FIGHTERS BRING FLOWERS TO SUICIDE BOMBINGS
BY HUGO KAAMAN
The use of suicide car bombs, or Suicide Vehicle-Borne Improvised Explosive Devices (SVBIEDs) by non-state actors has seen quite a dramatic increase in recent years. The Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) has been an especially prolific user of this powerful mobile weapon. The group has used thousands of up-armoured SVBIEDs. This began during their initial expansion and later as part of a continuous attempt to stave off efforts by opposing forces to capture their ever-shrinking territory.
As part of my extensive research into the group's use of this SVBIED weapon, I've documented countless different design iterations. Different vehicle types, armour makeups, payload compositions, and so on. No matter how rigid and intricate they may have looked, these overhauled vehicles of death have naturally always projected a cold and menacing feeling. That is, until you see the rare ISIS SVBIEDs that were decorated with flowers...
ISIS SVBIEDs, with and without flowers
An ISIS photo report released in mid-October 2016 showcased some of their fighting against Iraqi forces in the Shirqat area of Iraq's Salah Al-Din province. One photo showed the staging area of the ISIS contingent, with a desert-coloured up-armoured SVBIED. It wasn't the vehicle itself that drew the viewers eye though, it was the exceptional nature in which it was decorated. The frontal slat armour of the SVBIED had been decorated with an assortment of different brightly coloured flowers.
At first glance, the floral mount seemed absurd. Why would someone eagerly racing towards imminent death in a rolling bomb take the time to arrange such an ornate display? It turns out there's a twisted logic to this floral effort, but it has more to do with the suicide bomber himself than the chosen vessel used in the attack. In order to understand it, it's important to realise that regardless of how wrong and murderous ISIS ideology may be, there are actually a multitude of religious customs and traditions that surround their execution of suicide attacks.
First we must understand that the jihadists themselves don't refer to suicide bombings as "suicide bombings". Instead, they're referred to as "Martyrdom Operations" (or "Amiliyat Istishhadiya")—a euphemism that shows just how pious the group considers these attacks to be. In the minds of ISIS fighters, sacrificing themselves for the "the cause" is one of the most noble deeds one could perform. It's also considered a sure-fire way of reaching heaven (or "Jannah"). Jannah, the Arabic for garden, is supposedly a lush paradise where scores of the purest virgin angels (known as "Houris") await the arrival of those who've managed to please God. But what does that have to do with flowers?
When used by jihadists, flowers typically represent both martyrdom and paradise. For example, yellow flowers often represent a sense of living, or, paradoxically, inevitable martyrdom and the reward of everlasting paradise. A white rose acts as a symbol of purity and martyrdom. Red roses, another symbol of martyrdom, signifies violent jihadist struggle more broadly. Other kinds of red flowers can also be used synonymously with the red rose.
Captured floral SVBIEDs
Seeing as most flower-adorned examples of ISIS up-armoured SVBIEDs were documented in the period of 2016 - 2017, one could assume that it's a fairly recent and emerging phenomenon. But that isn't quite the case. In actuality, the direct ISIS predecessor group, the Islamic State of Iraq (ISI), had a thing for the floral imagery almost a decade prior to the recent documented examples.
In the fourth iteration of their "Knights of Martyrdom" (or "Fursan al-Shahada") propaganda video series released in September 2008, two fighters are seen messing around while preparing a covert SVBIED, before finally adorning it with a red flower.
From the Knights of Martyrdom propaganda video
The Knights of Martyrdom series is full of floral imagery. The animated introductory graphic of some of the videos even shows a poorly rendered 3D tanker SVBIED in a lush garden, with bird calls in the background. As the camera zooms out, fields of yellow flowers can be seen reaching to the driver's seat. The reference to the promised paradise is clear, and the colour of the flowers reinforces the intended message.
From the Knights of Martyrdom intro graphic
According to Thomas Hegghammer, author of "Jihadi Culture" and Senior research fellow at the Norwegian Defence Research Establishment (FFI), suicide attacks are seen as a kind of wedding celebration for jihadists. This is also why many prospective suicide bombers groom their bodies in anticipation of meeting the virgins in heaven. In this context, it might make sense to bring flowers as a gift for them.
Adorning an up-armoured SVBIED with flowers as both a wedding gift to the virgins of the everlasting paradise, as well as an intra-jihadi signal of piety may sound bizarre, but in a sense, if you think about it, it's poetic in a very grim sense.
Floral SVBIEDs
Religiously referencing the outcome of their actions and connecting it to past Muslim battles, even to the Prophet Muhammad himself, is a common trope among fervent jihadists. This all ties into SVBIED operations as whole.
For example ancient stories from the Quran repeatedly detail how the bodies of martyrs, as well as paradise itself, emanate a sweet smell of musk. This sweet perfume is repeatedly invoked in jihad and martyrdom literature. Occasionally the sweet smell even emanates from the person prior to his martyrdom, in order to indicate that this person is about to go to heaven. In an attempt to emulate these stories, some present day suicide bombers actually apply perfume to their bodies before executing their mission.
An ISIS suicide bomber putting on perfume before his attack
In the eighth Knights of Martyrdom video by the ISI, one such instance was showcased. The driver of one SVBIED was offered perfume, and used it before driving off towards his target. He dabbed it onto his cheeks with the back of his hand.
There is also an effort to portray the SVBIEDs as the modern equivalent of the horses that the Prophet Muhammad and his followers used to ride into their battles on. As such, SVBIEDs are often referred to as "steeds" by some jihadists. While giving his martyrdom speech from the cab of his SVBIED, one suicide bomber in a 2012 ISI video proclaimed: "This martyrdom car is the horse of these times!"
So it's clear that the flowers adorning the "steeds"—the ISIS SVBIEDs—are not just for show, but a deeply symbolic gesture that, for the jihadists at least, speaks to the pious nature of their suicide operations.

10 Best Chinese anime characters
Bilal
Anime is Japanese, we all know that and that is why their stories are based mostly on Japanese culture, Japanese characters, and the experience of their different social levels … or the rest of the world, okay, according to the perspective of the Japanese. And what about the other countries?
This time, in Honey's Anime we created a list with the best Chinese characters, those who are sometimes protagonists and sometimes simply a stereotype of a culture in a constant love-hate relationship with Japan. Here are 10 must-see characters!
10. Count D from Petshop of Horrors
Sentai
Issue: March 1999
Let's start with a mysterious character and with a certain halo of fear, of whom little is known except for his Chinese roots. Count D is the owner and manager of a strange pet store in Chinatown, which sells animals that we would surely not find elsewhere. Is this earl a real human? The answer is no, but you don't have to be human to be Chinese, since China has a very rich history, full of mythological beings…
9. kohran li from sakura wars
Broadcast: April 2000 to September 2000
Turning now to Sakura Wars, an anime based on the video game franchise of the same name, let's talk about Korhan Li, the Chinese member of the Hanagumi team. If we know China for something, it is for its technology, and that also carries over to this girl … although it is not that in Japan they are denied in this regard, right?
Humor – and perhaps that Japanese hint that sticks like a dagger – makes Korhan's creations often fail, but that doesn't stop this Chinese. Korhan Li not only keeps inventing things, but he does it with the best of optimism and always with a smile on his face.
8. Madoka Fujisaki from Kidou Tenshi Angelic Layer
amazon jp
Issuance: April 2001 to September 2001
We have fabulous battles between electronic dolls as part of a game called Angelic Layer, and thus begins a long adventure that transforms a rookie into the possible new great champion. But beyond the protagonist, Misaki Suzuhara, we have to talk about the participant who represents China.
Another typical element of China is kung fu, a martial art that Madoka Fujisaki uses to control her angel in battle. Unfortunately, the methods that this girl and her sister use are not correct and they are not doing very well either. In this case, pride is a theme that has a lot to do with Madoka's appearance in the plot, both for better and for worse.
7. Ling Yao from Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood
crunchyroll Chinese anime characters
Issuance: April 2009 to July 2010
Although many know the original Fullmetal Alchemist anime, only those who knew the manga could complain or at least notice the lack of a Chinese character in the adaptation. Fortunately, it was in Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood that we got to see the appearance of Ling Yao, a boy of Xing origin, the equivalent of China in this universe.
I wish we could tell the whole story of Ling Yao without falling for the spoilers, but that would be quite impossible. Likewise, we have to highlight his figure as well as that of Lan Fan, his main bodyguard. Another highlight of Yao is his majestic use of dao, a Chinese sword that turns lethal in his hands.
6. Fon (Fēng) from Katekyo Hitman Reborn!
Issuance: October 2006 to September 2010
Once a filler character, he later became a favorite of many. We are talking about Fon, a charismatic Chinese and very good at martial arts, being a multiple champion. Precisely, his appearance in chibi mode is very similar to that of the great Bruce Lee.
This fighter, in addition to being an I-Pin coach, is one of the 7 select members of the I Prescelti Sette group and the representative of the color red in the Arcobalenos. Peaceful, funny but sooo dangerous if we make him mad, Fon is another good representative of China in the anime.
5. Hakuryuu Ren from Magi: The Labyrinth of Magic
Issuance: October 2012 to March 2013
We know what they are thinking, and it is that in Magi there really is no China or other real countries. However, a little research makes us notice that the Kou Empire not only has certain similarities with the Chinese Empire but is directly inspired by it.
Within the Ren family, we highlight this time the fourth prince of the empire, Hakuryuu Ren. Although we have talked about characters that stand out for their personality, this time we wanted to talk about a slightly dark character, with quite reprehensible gestures and attitudes. Likewise, you have to know more about their history to understand their reasons, and it is up to each one to justify it or not.
4. Ranma's Shampoo ½
The shampoo is a very special girl who gets caught up in the adventures and misadventures of Ranma Saotome, in Ranma ½. She is a great warrior who represented her Amazon village in China, but was defeated twice by Ranma, once in her female form and once in her male form. Thus, Shampoo ends with two missions in her life: marrying the male version and killing the female … two sides of the same coin.
In China, Shampoo is an employee of the family food store, where she works with her grandmother Cologne, who trains her. For an Amazon warrior, Shampoo is a gorgeous girl, so we can't blame Akane for turning her into a worthy rival.
3. Lau from Kuroshitsuji
Chinese anime characters
Another important element when it comes to Chinese stereotypes is the appearance of opium, a drug that is extracted from the royal poppy, a flower that dates back to trade between Europe and China in the 16th century. This time, the opium is tied to Lau, a Chinese character who has some business with Ciel Phantomhive.
If one saw Lau without knowing anything about him, we would easily realize his Chinese roots by his clothes, gestures, and customs. What we would not notice is everything that this man hides beyond his seemingly innocent smile, and that is why it is worth highlighting. Unfortunately for you, it's time to watch the anime or read the manga to find out more about this character, because revealing more information would be to spoil part of Kuroshitsuji.
2. Yao Wang (China) from Hetalia Axis Powers
CDJapan
Issuance: January 2009 to March 2010
Who could better represent Chinese characters in anime, than the stereotypical and anthropomorphic version of the country itself? Hetalia offers us the same for several countries related to World War II, and China obviously has its appearance, with its alias Yao Wang .
The most outstanding characteristics of this character are born from China's relationship with its neighboring countries, the same ones with which it maintains a relationship of true brothers: sometimes protecting itself and others, the most common, being rivals. If you want to learn more about the good and the bad of China, as seen by other countries, then you must see Hetalia!
1. Syaoran Li from Cardcaptor Sakura
Issuance: April 1998 to March 2000
We have in the first position little Syaoran Li, a character who stood out most in Cardcaptor Sakura but has also appeared in several CLAMP works. Sakura Kinomoto's friend and potential boyfriend is a reserved, mature, and very intelligent character, but he also knows how to be very tender when it comes to Sakura, and even when he is around his cousin Meilin.
Versed in magical powers, Syaoran comes to Japan from Hong Kong, where he lived surrounded by women in his family, with his mother and 4 older sisters. Blessed are you, Syaoran! Although he leads his life in Tomoeda, Syaoran is always aware of his origins and continues to maintain his love for dim sum, a typical Chinese food.
China is a great nation, not only because of its size or number of inhabitants but because of what it has contributed to the world. Interestingly, it is rare to see that those more than one billion inhabitants are hardly noticeable in Japan when we talk about anime. If all these characters have been good at one thing or another, we want more Chinese in anime!
What is your favorite Chinese character in anime? What do you think of the Japanese treatment of their neighbors on this list? We want your opinions! However, with that, we also have to say goodbye. Until another!

We still don't know when Google's Nexus 5 will be released, but recent rumors peg it as launching later this month. That certainly seems appropriate as more and more people are somehow getting their hands on the latest smartphone from Google and LG.
smartphones.sfr.fr recently got its hands on the Nexus 5, and uploaded seven minutes of them playing around with it. Even more exciting than the Nexus 5, however, is getting to see more of Android 4.4, or KitKat. Unfortunately, the build on display here is incredibly early so it's probably lacking some of the features that are likely to be in the final release.
Still, it's our best look at the Nexus 5 and Android 4.4 yet, and it's looking really good so far. Like the Nexus 4 before it, the Nexus 5 looks to keep things simple with a nice design that doesn't try to drastically change the smartphone in any way. It will surely be a hit when it launches later this month (or year), especially if Google is able to keep it at $300.
If you need a refresher, the Nexus 5 is pretty much confirmed to be near identical to the LG G2 in terms of specs. That means the phone will have a 5-inch 1080p display, 32GB of internal storage, 2GB of RAM, a quad-core 2.3GHz Snapdragon 800 CPU, a 2300mAh battery, LTE compatibility and NFC.
We're likely to see it revealed alongside the new Nexus 10 and Android 4.4 sometime later this month if Nestle is to be trusted.
