Anime REvisited: Chivalry of a Failed Knight Season One Episode Nine!
Aside July 29, 2020 D&A Anime Blog Anime, Anime Reviews, Anime REvisited, Filler Posts
What's up anime fam! We're coming to you once again with another anime review from our Anime REvisited pick that you already know to be; Chivalry of a Failed Knight! With only three more episodes remaining in the season, it looks like this is where things start to come down to the wire. So, let's get to it!
So far Ikki and Stella have been racking up wins like crazy, as the two of them are on a 12-game winning streak. After their battles they were sent on somewhat of a vacation for a week by the headmaster, little did they know they would end up having to clean the floors and windows of training camp facility thanks to the student council of the school. Around this time Shizuku went back to her family's home for a while and didn't want anyone to bother her, as she looked at old pictures of her brother when we was younger. Meanwhile Ikki and Stella take a trip to the waterfall that she saw while riding on the bus, but she was feeling a little bit…sick.
As it started raining in heavy downpours, Ikki took Stella to an empty cabin in the woods as the two of them dried off by the fire. Now here's where things get a little…interesting. Stella's clothes are wet as they're lowering her body temperature, so to make her feel a little less embarrassed, Ikki decided to strip down to his drawers as well. Stella needed help undoing her blouse so Ikki being as noble and professional as he can, helped her unbutton it; thus exposing her bra. Ikki thought he was done, until Stella asked him to unhook her bra – because it was hard for her to breathe. Basically at this point Stella is pretty much naked aside from her panties, and I know it sounds like we're heading towards soft-core hentai territory, but bear with us a little longer.
As Ikki covered her up Stella tells him how hard that must've been to help her undress while maintaining professionalism and keeping her safe, but that statement went moot as she also told him that his member was at full attention (BEAR WITH US!!). Trying to hid it Stella told him that she didn't mind it and that it made her happy that she was able to get him excited, of course that was followed up with the question of does Ikki want to do 'it' with her. Finally after reacting like a terrified virgin, Ikki calmed down and stated that he wants to stand proudly with Stella, and let the world know just how he feels about her, and that they should wait until their married to have sex. Ladies, find you a guy like Ikki; who will respect you enough to wait until your wedding day!
Later on things get crazy as a giant golem attacks the cabin that Ikki and Stella were in; the keyword is 'were', because Ikki got Stella the hell outta there and somewhere safe for the moment. He tried to fight the golem on its own, but then it split into a small army of golems as they made their way towards a not-100% Stella. However the student council showed up just in time to take down the golem army, with the council president Tohka Todo finishing the army in one fell swoop. Back at the Kurogane household, Shizuku's next opponent is the student council president herself.
Things will be getting really interesting from this point on, so until next review, continue to stay safe amongst this pandemic, and continue to love one another! 🙂
Anime REvisited: Chivalry of a Failed Knight Season One Episode Eight!
Hello again, and welcome to another anime review of our Anime REvisited pick; Chivalry of a Failed Knight! This time it's all come down to this; Ikki, Stella, and Ayase confront the Sword Eater known as Kuroato, who defeated Ayase's father and took their dojo. In the eighth episode of the series, it all goes down right here in this review!
Ikki, Stella, and Ayase travel to her father's dojo, which has now become the official headquarters of Kuroato and his gang. Ayase tells the story of what happened two years ago, when Kuroato defeated her father; the last samurai (not the one you're thinking of), to a kendo match. Though he talked a lot of vulgar smack Kuroato had the skills to back it up thanks to his high reaction speed, which is why he was able to defeat Ayase's father. Right off the bat Ikki and Kuroato went at it in 'his' dojo as the two of them locked eyes and formed their weapons while Stella and Ayase watched. Ikki and Kuroato crossed blades pretty much the whole episode as Kurogane used his Perfect Vision skill to try and dodge Kuroato's incoming attacks.
This episode is pretty much Ikki and the Sword Eater crossing blades with one another while having a bit of fun at the same time. During the fight Kuroato realized that a lot of Ikki's attacks mimicked Ayase's father's techniques. Eventually Ikki decided to take the battle to the next level as he pulled out his best technique known as Blade Steal; where he not only steals the opponent's technique, but also a part of their will and spirit as well. After one final clash Kuroato fell to Ikki as both of their devices disappeared.
Realizing that Ikki will be quite a foe during the Seven Star Sword Art festival, Kuroato decided that they'll finish their battle there, and that he has given the dojo back to Ayase and her father. Watching the battle made Ayase realize that she has a lot of work to do if she plans on becoming a great swordswoman, and that she has to study the 'Warrior's Way' a little bit more. At the end of the episode Shizuki and Alice show up stating that they were a little peeved that they weren't involved in the episode, which caused Stella and Shizuku to have yet another riff between them.
Well, that's it for this review! As always guys, continue to stay safe and stay united! 🙂
Anime REvisited: Chivalry of a Failed Knight Season One Episode Seven!
Welcome back guys! It's anime review time once again with our Anime REvisited pick; Chivalry of a Failed Knight. Last post we've talked about the Sword Eater known as Korato (I'm guessing a 'nickname' given to him by his friends), but now we're learning something about Ayase that seemed confusing at first…but now we're starting to see where she's coming from. So let's go ahead with the review! (See what I did there? XP)
Ikki was on the rooftop with Ayase as she asked him a bit of a weird question about their friendship, but suddenly she used her device which happened to be a crimson-colored katana (with no guard on the edge of the hilt), and slashed the gate behind her as she fell through. With no choice but to use it Ikki channeled his power to rush to Ayase's aid to save her, only to discover that this was her intention this whole time. With just ten hours before the start of his next battle; which happens to be against Ayase, Ikki finds himself in a hospital bed while recovering from his weary state. Although there's not a whole lot of information about Ayase, her ranking, or even her skill and technique, Ikki and the others knew that her reasoning behind what she did, was to get back her father's dojo from Korato.
At 3pm the battle between Ikki and Ayase started as the two of them prepared to fight one another. Before the start of the match Ikki caught on to the fact that Ayase booby-trapped the arena, as slashes were appearing from out of thin air due to her device's ability. The sword fight was actually pretty good, but it wasn't until near the end of the episode that Ikki knew what he had to do – defeat Ayase with all of his strength and get back what she lost. Ayase tried to fight against her truth but Ikki exposed it, and it was at that moment she realized that in order to get her father's dojo back, she would have to regain the pride that he took in protecting it back. Yeah, Ayase lost the match putting Ikki at 7-0, but now she realizes what she must do, but she'll need Ikki's help to do it.
This one's a little short but that's all we've got for this episode review. As always continue to uplift one another, and stay united my friends! 🙂
Anime REvisited: Chivalry of a Failed Knight Season One Episode Six!
So here we are once again guys n' gals; another installment of our Anime REvisited pick known as Chivalry of a Failed Knight! Things get pretty interesting in this episode so let's get right into it! By the way, a lot of PG-13/R-rated language and mildly abusive violence will be seen and heard throughout this episode, so viewer discretion is advised.
Ikki and Stella have won yet another match against their selected opponents, as a girl with navy colored hair watches from the stands. While walking through the campus along with Shizuku and Alice, they all suddenly notice the same girl from the stands following them; who is now identified as Ayase. (Though she comes off as shy and aloof right now, you'll find out what she's truly like later on.) Throughout the episode we see Ayase getting acquainted with Ikki and the rest of the cast; from training with them to even eating with them.
Though she's a bit of a mystery, Ikki still helps her to get stronger for her father who is in the hospital due to an injury during one of his battles. Here's where things get interesting; you know that one dude in every action/fighting anime who's a total d**k to everyone, but has fighting/battle skills that can rival any S-Class fighter out there? (And 9 times outta 10, he becomes the frienemy/rival of the main protagonist.) Well that's Korato.
He and his gang storm the restaurant and pretty much disrespect Ikki right in front of Stella; bashing him on the head with a beer bottle and hawking a loogie on his face. Unless you've got Saiyan powers or happen to be a certain red-headed Ronin samurai, you're kinda stuck with the fact you're outnumbered 5-to-1. This was pretty much Ikki's case. After toying with him while growing bored in the process, Korato and his gang left the restaurant while Stella was fuming at the fact that her man didn't deck the bastard's ass; cuz' she would have! However, Ikki knew that if he fought, he would've been expelled – but he also knew that he would get back at Korato and his gang soon enough.
After all of that Ikki was talking to Alice about everything that happened, but then he got a text from Ayase telling him to meet him on the roof top later that night, and Alice knew something was up. Ikki stated that he was going even though in his eyes Alice was against it, and surely Ayase was waiting for Ikki…but there was definitely something up about her.
That's it for this review, but there's more to come on this saga on our next post! Until then friends, continue to love one another in this crazy time we're living in. Black lives are under attack, and it's up to us to hold those accountable, and fight against racial and social injustice against African-Americans (like myself). It's 2020, and we can see clearly now!
Anime REvisited: Chivalry of a Failed Knight Season One Episode Five!
Hiyo! We're back with another episode review on our Anime REvisited pick known as Chivalry of a Failed Knight! So far things have been going well in the story character-wise, and the pacing doesn't seem too fast or even too slow. With all that said, let's get into it!
Ikki has just defeated another opponent making it his fifth consecutive victory in a row. It is also around this time that he and Stella have been dating for two weeks, so could it be that things are starting to get a little serious between them? Stella thinks so, as she proudly proclaims Ikki as her boyfriend in the beginning of the episode. Awhile after his battle Ikki stood outside on the academy grounds as a group of girls came up to him and asked if he could train them; which made Stella a bit jealous upon hearing his reaction. Eventually this drew the attention of several boys who were envious of Ikki and decided to attack him, but Korugane used his fighting skills to take em' down a peg. After begging for his forgiveness and asking if he would train them too, Ikki happily smiled as he told them he would.
By the middle of the episode Ikki, Stella, Shizuku, and Alice along with the others who wanted Ikki to train them, find themselves on a bus trip to a Japanese indoor waterpark. We knew it was going to happen eventually, so here is the 'Beach Episode' you've all been waiting for! Sadly, there aren't any hijinks in this episode as there would be in any other beach episode of any other anime title, but there was something else. Ikki and Stella manage to get a moment alone with one another under the water mushroom as Ikki thought about if dating Stella was the right thing.
They've been going out for two weeks and now Ikki is having second thought about their relationship. To that Stella assumed that they were breaking up; to which Ikki was shocked and asked her where she heard it. A lover's quarrel started as Ikki and Stella were angrily trying to get their feeling across, but then as the two calmed down they both thought it would be a good idea to say what they want to say to each other at the same time.
They basically wanted to kiss each other, and they did just that. Then on the bus ride home Ikki and Stella were holding each other's hands as they were now official! So what started off as doubt has now become assurance, as Ikki and Stella are now boyfriend and girlfriend. Like a lot of anime romance titles, we usually don't see the final conformation until the last two episodes of the season or series, but in the case of Chivalry of a Failed Knight we saw it before we've reached the halfway episode of the series. Could it be that once the series is over, Ikki might…pop the question? Guess we'll have to wait to find out!
Until next review guys, stay safe and united! 🙂
Anime REvisited: Chivalry of a Failed Knight Season One Episode Four!
Welcome back guys! We're now on the fourth episode of our Anime REvisited pick; Chivalry of a Failed Knight. Things are about to get a bit more interesting from here on out, so without further delay, let's get on with the review!
The qualifying rounds for the Seven Star Sword Art festival have now begun, as Stella faces her first opponent at the beginning of the episode – only for them to concede 30 seconds later. Later on Ikki is back at the dorm room while watching footage of Kirihara's previous battle; where his Blazer allows him to hide himself as well as his projectiles, while he aims them at his opponents causing damage in the process. Stella looks at the footage and is disgusted by the way Kirihara fights, but deep down inside…Ikki was actually a little bit nervous about his match with him. After talking with Alice outside by the school water fountain, Ikki discovers that he's taken a lot of abuse growing up – to the point where he can't even tell when he's mentally about to reach his breaking point. (And perhaps it might even affect the outcome of his match.)
By the middle of the episode the match between Ikki and Kirihara was about to begin. Kirihara used his Blazer's technique to cover the stage in a forest of green in order to conceal himself and his weapon, while Ikki summoned his blade. During the battle it seemed like Ikki had a good idea of how Kirihara's attack pattern works, that is until he made his projectiles invisible as well. Stella could only watch in horror as Ikki was getting shot by the arrows coming from Kirihara's bow, and once things went further south, Kirihara chanted to the crowd in calling Ikki the "worst one".
Officially pissed off Stella raised her voice to the sky and demanded that Ikki man up and take down Kirihara, to which Ikki did just that as he developed a new technique called "Perfect Vision"; which allows him to see everything Kirihara can throw at him. In the span of 2 minutes of episode time, Ikki took down all of Kirihara's attacks and came gunning for the coward before he conceded defeat; as the sharp part of Ikki's blade scratched his nose. Automatically everyone in the stands cheered him on after winning, though Ikki quickly collapsed afterwards.
Near the end of the episode Stella was by Ikki's bedside while he recovered from his wounds. The two of them share a rather touching moment, but they also made a promise that they would meet each other at the Seven Star Sword Art Festival. Thus, this is where the episode and our review on the episode will end. Ikki won the battle against his cowardly obstacle of an opponent, but could there be more obstacles that he'll have to overcome in the coming episodes? I guess we'll find out next time!
As always guys n' gals, stay united and stay safe! 😉
Anime REvisited: Chivalry of a Failed Knight Season One Episode Three!
Yo! We're back with another installment of Anime REvisited with our pick; Chivalry of a Failed Knight! It's episode three so let's get right to it!
A new battle awaits Ikki and Stella!
So the episode opens up with Ikki and Stella having a sparring match, and so far they're both vastly improving to get ready for their upcoming matches. With the weekend already here Stella bashfully asks Ikki if he would accompany her on a date – at least that's what she's trying to make it sound like without sounding too obvious. There is one small detail that she forgot to take into account; Shizuku. With her around there was no way in hell Stella would get the chance to be alone with Ikki.
Surely enough Ikki, Stella, and Shizuku along with Alice head to the mall in Japan; as the antics between Shizuku and Stella continue between them. Little did they know there's trouble afoot; as a rouge Blazer named Bishou has taken over the mall with his gang of low-lifes, and holds the people of the mall hostage. Anyone who has seen this scene play out in an anime title such as this knows just how the story ends; with the bad guys getting the snot beaten out of them. Although things looked pretty rough for the moment and it looked like Bishou and his gang was going to win, out comes Ikki from above as he slashes off the right arm of the villain; preventing him from using his blazer. The battle seemed like it was over until Bishou pulled a last-minute trick up his sleeve, and had another member of his gang hide among the hostages pretending she was one.
Then out of nowhere another Blazer appears and kills the female gang member, as he approaches Ikki and a semi-naked Stella – who regains her clothes thanks to Shizuku. Outside of the mall a small group of released hostages crowd around the Blazer by the name of Kirihara, who has some history with Ikki – and has been issued to be his next opponent in one of the battles he'll be fighting in along with the other students. Stella defends Ikki by telling Kirihara that he'll win, but…does Ikki think he'll win?
Since episode one we've seen what Ikki can do, so it was only going to be a matter of time until we see what Ikki can do in a real battle. Episode four is going to be interesting to say the least, but until that post, remember to mask up and stay safe! 😉
A Founder's Thoughts with D.J. Lewis (07/10/20)!
Aside July 10, 2020 D&A Anime Blog Filler Posts
Hey guys! So, we're ten days into the month of July, and there's only five months left of 2020. I'm pretty sure I don't even have to tell you guys what's at stake for the country come November; as it's been broadcasted all over social media. At the end of the day, African-Americans and other people of color everywhere just want to be given the same opportunities as their white counterparts. We're not here to steal your jobs or take your opportunities, because there will always be opportunities available! Honestly as an African-American anime-lovin' man, it both saddens and sickens me to my core upon seeing all the asinine racism that comes out of the mouths of our so-called president's people, as well as him! I'm not the political type (in fact I'm an Independent), but I'm pretty sure the world doesn't want another four more years of this.
The only reason so many African-Americans and people of color are upset is because we're TIRED! Tired of the racism, tired of the bigots, tired of the 'Karens' and 'Kens', we're TIRED of looking over our shoulder – wondering if we'll even make it home! Black Lives Matter does NOT mean Black Lives Better, it means that for all of our lives to matter, we as African-Americans want to be put on the same playing field; be it entertainment or in life in general. There are other races in countries that are more united than we are, so instead of fighting over our differences, why not find common ground? How do hateful people live like this?! Like they've got nothing else better to do than to make the lives of others (especially people of color and LGBTQ+) a living hell! Look, I'm all for the American flag and everything, but we need to put the 'UNITED' back in United States.
COVID-19 isn't going away anytime soon, and even when we get a vaccine in 2021, we still have to deal with the remnants of the virus. Unless we want the country we call home to go down in flames, because it will if we LET it, we need to get our act together! As for anime and gaming conventions moving forwards, they will return – just not in the same format we're used to. (In fact many of the mega cons will have to downsize if they plan on surviving.) So yeah, this post kinda did turn into a small rant, but at this point in the year…I'm just tired!
I'll probably be in a better mood next post, so until then…stay UNITED!
Anime REvisited: Chivalry of a Failed Knight Season One Episode Two!
Aside July 9, 2020 D&A Anime Blog Anime, Anime Reviews, Anime REvisited, Filler Posts
What's good, anime fam? Welcome back to another installment of Anime REvisited with our latest pick; Chivalry of a Failed Knight! As we mentioned in our last review, we think this series needs a bit more love as it's flown under the radar of some of its more popular titles. With that in mind let's move on the review!
Stella and Ikki, of course!
With all of the main character introductions out of the way (as well as the mock battle), Ikki and Stella are seen jogging with one another as it looks like Stella might kinda be out of breath. Near the end of the last episode, we've noticed that Stella's been taking kind of a liking to him, and though she hated him in the beginning…it kinda looks like she's a bit flustered in a semi-perverted way. Later on both Ikki and Stella are in Ms. Yuri's class (who looks a bit zombie-looking and might have a blood disorder that causes her to vomit a liter of blood per day), as she talks about how the students will battle against one another in a tournament until they have the Top 6 selected for the Seven Star Sword Art Festival.
Each student will fight ten matches each, and will have a match every three days. After class Ikki and Stella were on their way somewhere until they met a girl who is starting her own Newspaper club named Kagami; who was a bit clingy towards Ikki – more than she should be. This caused Stella to act upset and somewhat jealous, but what happened next threw her into an emotional frenzy. Ikki's sister Shizuku found him at the school…and kissed him. (Yep, she's a 'little sister' type character. We can smell that troupe a mile away.)
Confused as hell, Stella tried to ease the tension of the area because the scene was drawing a crowd; however Shizuku had a different idea. She believed that Stella was trying to 'steal' her brother away from her, thus introducing another common troupe; the 'Tsnundere'. (Basically the 'I will end you, thot!' type character.) Things got heated after a while as Stella and Shizuku readied their weapons and struck one another, causing an explosion to take out half the hallway; covering it in fire and ice. As punishment both girls had to clean all 26 bathrooms in the academy. Welp, they know what they did…
Eventually as the episode went on Shizuku was introduced to her new roommate Alice, as he told her that she can talk to him about anything. Elsewhere Stella was making dinner while Ikki was taking a bath…and somewhere in the process she thought it was a good idea to join him. Needless to say, the night ended off with a bang – but not in the way you'd hoped it would. So that it for the second episode review of the series, and so far the introduction phase has entered level two. What will Ikki's battles be like? What kind of opponents will Stella face? Guess we'll have to wait until the next episode!
As always guys n' gals, stay safe and stay nerdy! 😉
Anime REvisited: Chivalry of a Failed Knight Season One Episode One!
The time has come guys n' gals! Anime REvisited is back with a new anime series for us to review; episode by episode! This time we've picked a series that honestly needs more love and doesn't get the credit that it deserves! That series is Chivalry of a Failed Knight! Many fans know this to be an underrated gem with only one season – which is a crying shame compared to other series like it (like Asterisk War…yeaaah…). Hopefully we'll get another season of this sometime in the future, of course for that to happen you gotta get enough people to talk about it – and even get the attention of the animation studio behind it as well. So, let's get on with the review!
The legendary Crimson Princess with Ikki Korugane!
With this being the first episode we're thrown into an alternate version of Japan, where individuals known as Blazers have the ability to draw weapons (mostly swords) from their own will. Basically they're known as magical knights who are ranked based on skill, prowess, and magical abilities. One of the most prominent Blazers is a crimson haired princess known as Stella Vermillion (vermillion is an actual color by the way), as she is an A-Rank. At Hagun Academy a student by the name of Ikki Korugane narrates his story at the beginning of the episode about being the underdog and how the gifted are privileged while the ungifted get casts to the side in life. Right away I kinda knew that this was going to be a story about how the underdog protagonist goes against all odds and comes out on top – like a lot of characters we're all familiar with that have that same mindset!
Ikki makes it back to his room after jogging to find an almost-naked Stella in his room. His response was to get naked himself so she wouldn't feel uncomfortable. (We all know how this story ends! XP) Ikki's then called into the office of the academy, to which the Headmaster calls in Stella so that he can apologize. Stella accepts but being the 'spoiled' princess that she is, demands that Ikki drops dead on his own sword. As the misunderstanding gets worse Stella swears that she'll incinerate Ikki with her own fire, but to that he responds that he's never seen a woman so beautiful before. Comedic embarrassment aside Ikki and Stella find out that they're both living together – which was a shock to them. The Headmaster then suggested that the two of them fight each other in a mock battle to decide on how to handle the co-ed situation with the room.
An hour later Ikki and Stella meet face to face as they agree upon the terms of the battle. Ikki draws his sword from the power of his own will, which is a basic katana that is his primary weapon. Stella then draws her weapon as flames surround her, before a Claymore-type yellow-bladed sword appears. The two then fight each other as their swords clashed while a small audience is watching the action. During the battle Stella notices that Ikki has memorized her attack patterns and is using them against her. Before the battle ends Ikki uses his ultimate blade technique since no one ever taught him how to use it, as he focuses all of his power into one swing of his sword. He struck Stella with a final blow before passing out himself due to using all of his power, thus winning the mock battle.
Afterwards Stella returns to her and Ikki's room and finds him sleeping; to which her sudden curiosity is sparked at the fact that his back is exposed, and she's never seen a man's back before. One can assume she's never had a real boyfriend due to the restrictions of being a princess, and also the fact that she's a celebrity in Japan, and her having a boyfriend means so much unwanted media and paparazzi coverage. After Ikki wakes up Stella tells him that she'll be a little less mean to him after discovering how hard he had it growing up, and realizing that all he can rely on is hard work as opposed to pure talent. Afterwards Ikki jokes with Stella telling her that she still has to abide by the bet she made earlier, and though she gets mad and pouts at him due to what she thinks he might ask her to do, he shocks her and tells her that he just wants her to be his roommate – and wants to be closer to her as friends. Stella responds that she will be Ikki's roommate, but she doesn't want him to be close to her. (Although that might change later on down the line as the series progresses…)
So with this being an introductory episode, we're treated to seeing a battle between the main characters of the series – with Ikki proving to Stella that he more than just an F-Rank knight. Right away on the first episode you don't even have to wait to see what kind of skill Ikki has with his blade, and though he's marked as an F-Rank in the academy, he shows Stella that he can go toe to toe with her despite him not having any good magical abilities. It'll be interesting to see what Ikki's like down the road, and what kind of relationship he'll have with the Crimson Princess Stella Vermillion.
That's all we've got for our Anime REvisisted review for now, and until next post, stay safe and continue to stay united! 🙂

The other morning I was walking through a field near my home. The air was warm and still and scented with earth and wet leaves, comforting and promising. An ordinary field in November, almost colourless at first glance, it slowly unveiled it's subtle beauty. The textures of grass, seed pods, Queen Anne's lace, spikey sticks and rounded shrubs, flat gray rocks and splashes of lichen and moss, subtle hues of slate, sepia, sap green and graphite, all held me captive. This is what makes me paint, to translate this, interpret it as art. The quietest moments are worthy.
Years ago, walking the same path, I was startled when a young deer lifted her head from the grass and stared at me. It was a spring evening and she was back lit with a setting sun, the soft hair on her ears glowing, we locked eyes. In an instant she was off , graceful arcs disappearing into twilight. This simple thrilling moment is fixed like a photograph in my brain waiting to be recalled.
Being in nature, open to the present moment and memory feeds my soul and my art practice.

Q: In the task manager why does Cefsharp created browser instance does not show embedded browser webview where as webview2 shows? I created a browser instance using Cefsharp library. In the task manager I see only the below processes and not embedded browser webview.

But, when I created browser instance using the Microsoft Edge WebView2, I see that process as well present. Since, both are chromium based I was thinking same set of processes to be present.

Any explanation should greatly be helpful.

A: Both CefSharp and MS Edge WebView2 are based on Chromium, so both libraries use multi-process architecture.
The msedgewebview2.exe process with the --embedded-browser-view=1 command line parameter you see when running MS Edge WebView2 represents a main Chromium process. It doesn't have --type=....
In CefSharp you don't see the main Chromium process, because CefSharp initializes Chromium inside a .NET application which might have absolutely different name.
So, the behavior you see is expected and there's nothing strange or unusual if you know how it works inside ;)

People are used to the adage that beauty can only be achieved through buying products in the market or visiting a salon. Although these methods are true, there are also unusual beauty regimens that can be practiced in order to stay healthy and good looking. Here are some tips for you to try.
Toothpaste can be used as an emergency treatment to pimples in the absence of creams and ointments. Apply a small amount of white toothpaste on your forefinger and apply this on that specific spot on your face. Allow this to sleep overnight and observe the change in the morning. It is said that toothpastes can dry pimples easily therefore, it serves as a useful alternative to anti-acne products.
Spoon can be used to treat bulgy eye bags. Put two teaspoons in the freezer for five to ten minutes. Place each spoon on each eye allowing the chill to penetrate into the skin. Do this until the icy feeling disappears. This method is a good alternative to cucumber and tomato.
Honey is known to contain some anti-bacterial compounds that are why it can be used as a home remedy to cuts and wounds. Apply a small amount of honey on the cut or wound and wrap it with bandage. Honey will help fight bacteria and allow the wound to heal faster.
Studies have shown that there are more germs found on the surface of a cellphone than that of a toilet bowl seat. These germs are transferred to the face especially when doing voice calls. As a result, the germs penetrate into the skin making it prone to acne, allergy and other types of skin problems. It is similarly true when using your laptop. Never use your laptop directly on your lap like that when you are playing a bingo game or when surfing www.kasinoland.com, as this is harmful for the health. Keep your gadgets clean by wiping them with a clean cloth and water. Disinfectant sprays are also good but must only be done occasionally. Make sure that your phone should not be too close to your head and ears or should not be placed in the pocket as well because radiation can be transmitted.
As you can see, making oneself healthy and beautiful is not just depending on salons, spas and boutiques. It is an interesting fact that you can improve your health and physical appearance by engaging in strange tips but effective beauty regimen. All you need to do is to give it a try.

Aid and government fiscal behaviour: What does the evidence say?
Oliver Morrissey / Feb 2012
Donors are concerned about how their aid is used, especially how it affects public spending. For low-income countries that receive significant amounts of aid relative to GDP, most of the aid spent in the country is given to the government either directly, or by financing services that would otherwise be a demand on the budget. To illustrate, in 1997 aid accounted for almost a third of government spending on average in low-income or sub-Saharan African countries, and over 100% in some countries. On average during the 1990s aid amounted to over 100% of government spending in Burundi, Ethiopia and Sierra Leone; during 2001-07 it was over 100% in Sierra Leone and Zambia, 70% in Uganda, 50% in Ghana, and 20% in Kenya. It follows that aid should have a direct and significant impact on the level (relative to GDP), evolution (increases over time) and composition (the allocation of spending to different types of public goods and services) of government expenditure. Aid may also affect the level of tax revenue, either because it influences tax effort or because policy reforms associated with conditional lending affect tax rates or the tax base.
My WIDER working paper 'Aid and Government Fiscal Behaviour: What Does the Evidence Say?' reviews the recent evidence on the fiscal effects of aid, on government spending and tax effort, in recipient countries. Given severe data limitations in analysing the relationship between aid and spending, little more can be claimed other than that aid finances government spending. Spending may not increase by the full amount of aid, either because the aid is used to reduce domestic borrowing (often a requirement of multilateral agencies) or is not actually reflected in the budget. Considerable amounts of aid are disbursed through donor projects that do not appear as spending in the budgets; indeed, to the extent the government is aware of these projects it may reduce its own spending in these areas. Thus, the direct link between aid and government spending is weak, although there are indirect effects whereby spending increases in line with the allocation favoured by donors over time.
Country studies of fiscal response show that aid does contribute to increased expenditure in total and in the sectors favoured by donors, and that aid has no consistent effect on tax revenue (there is no robust evidence that aid, whether grants or loans, reduces tax effort). As governments in low-income countries have limited ability to alter tax revenue in the short term but can readily alter borrowing, the observed association between the change in aid and spending in any year is largely determined by changes in borrowing behaviour. There are legitimate concerns about how aid is used and whether it is fungible, but there is very little evidence that these present a challenge to aid effectiveness, at least in fiscal terms. The fiscal environment for aid has improved markedly in many recipients, presenting an opportunity in many countries to reduce the transactions costs by delivering aid in the form of budget support that enhances the fiscal effectiveness of aid.
Three generalizations are permitted by the evidence: (i) aid finances government spending; (ii) the extent to which aid is fungible is over-stated and even where it is fungible this does not appear to make the aid less effective; (iii) there is no systematic effect of aid on tax effort. Beyond these conclusions effects are country-specific.

On behalf of Vincent, Romeo & Rodriguez, LLC posted in Estate Planning on Thursday, May 31, 2018.
It appears that only 45% of Colorado residents are prepared for their end of days. In fact, research indicates that approximately 55% of Americans have done no formal estate planning. They have not created a will or done anything to ensure that their families and assets are protected upon their deaths and that their final wishes are carried out.
One of the primary benefits of estate planning is that the individual maintains control over how his or her assets are distributed. While some assets, such as a life insurance policy or bank account, may be transferred through documentation associated with the account, the majority of assets will need to be identified and directions given regarding how these assets should be distributed. In addition to providing direction, this action can also minimize controversy regarding who gets what within the family.
Another benefit of estate planning is that it can help to protect assets. As one grows older, the possibility of requiring nursing home care increases. This can be an expensive venture. However, by planning ahead and being familiar with Medicaid policies, one can take steps to protect assets.
Finally, depending upon the extent of one's assets, they can be subject to taxation upon death of the individual. Fortunately, there are ways to protect one's assets from excessive taxes and probate fees. However, in order to do so, proper estate planning steps will need to be taken.
Research suggests that the majority of Colorado residents have done little to protect their assets and loved ones upon death. At the very least, the individual will want to draft a will. An experienced attorney can review the individual's circumstances and recommend other estate planning tools that can also offer the protection desired.

Quorum Sensing
Bacteria, usually found in multi-species neighborhoods with billions of cells, where thought to live and divide isolated from its surroundings. However, bacteria do not try to out-compete the neighbors by mindless exponential growth but can exchange information via cell-to-cell communications in order to coordinate gene-expression and as a result the overall behavior of the population. This communicative endeavor is commonly described as quorum sensing and based on the synthesis, secretion and diffusion of small molecules or 'autoinducers'.
One of the best studied quorum sensing models was found in the Gram-negative bacterium V. fischeri in the early 1980s[4]. Depending on the cell density and the corresponding autoinducer concentration, communication between the bacteria induces bioluminescence in the whole V. fischeri population.

This cross-talk has to be taken into account when re-engineering LuxR/LuxI like systems for synthetic modules and circuits[6].
Integrases
Site specific serine recombinases, or integrases, are enzymes recognizing pairs of short and non-identical DNA sequences. Within those sites they irreversibly catalyze the excision or unidirectional inversion of the DNA bases, depending on the orientation of the recognition sequence (often referred to as attB or attP). Many recombinases originate from phages integrating their genes into bacterial host genomes, hence they often do not require specific co-factors and are fully functional when heterologously expressed in bacteria. As a result, they can be employed as molecular tools in biotechnology[7].
Due to the site-specificity, recombinases like Bxb1 and ΦC31 can be employed orthogonally in synthetic systems. In addition, the combination of multiple recombinases -and their corresponding specific recognition sites- with gene regulatory sequences like promoters and terminators, allowed the engineering of Boolean logic gates[8]. For example, when an asymmetric terminator sequence is placed within a pair of recombination sites, the RNA polymerase can only proceed along this sequence if exactly one recombinase is available. Otherwise the terminator is blocking gene transription by default, or due to the repeated inversion, is again fully function as soon as both recombinases are present[9]. Such recombinase-based logic gates are at the core of our genetic circuits.

Nanomedicine will soon be used for diagnosing and treating cancer, musculoskeletal and inflammatory diseases, neurodegenerative diseases, diabetes and infectious diseases. In general, nanotechnology has the incredible potential to improve patient outcomes. What does this mean? Patients will be living longer with a greater quality of life!
In the fight against cancer, nanotechnology introduces unique approaches to diagnosis and treatment that could not even be imagined with conventional technology. New tools engineered at sizes much smaller than a human cell will enable researchers and clinicians to detect cancer earlier, treat it with much greater precision and fewer side effects, and possibly stop the disease long before it can do any damage.
Nanotechnology is the development and engineering of devices so small that they are measured on a molecular scale. This emerging field involves scientists from many different disciplines, including physicists, chemists, engineers, information technologists, and material scientists, as well as biologists. Nanotechnology is being applied to almost every field imaginable, including electronics, magnetics, optics, information technology, materials development and biomedicine.
Nanoscale devices are one hundred to ten thousand times smaller than human cells. They are similar in size to large biological molecules ("biomolecules") such as enzymes and receptors. As an example, hemoglobin, the molecule that carries oxygen in red blood cells, is approximately 5 nanometers in diameter. Nanoscale devices smaller than 50 nanometers can easily enter most cells, while those smaller than 20 nanometers can move out of blood vessels as they circulate through the body.
Because of their small size, nanoscale devices can readily interact with biomolecules on both the surface and inside cells. By gaining access to so many areas of the body, they have the potential to detect disease and deliver treatment in ways unimagined before now.

Vail Resorts Takes Precautions for Coronavirus (COVID-19)
All Vail Resorts properties are operating normally.
The health and wellbeing of our employees and guests is our top priority. As a part of that commitment, Vail Resorts is closely monitoring the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and World Health Organization's (WHO) statements regarding novel coronavirus (COVID-2019) and following the guidelines from these agencies, as well as from local health departments where we operate resorts in the United States, Canada and Australia.
We are taking all appropriate precautions across all of our locations, as advised by the CDC and local public health agencies. These measures include properly disinfecting our facilities and ensuring the preparation of our employees. For confirmed cases at any of our locations, we will follow the direction and guidance of local health officials.
Additionally, the Vail Resorts Health & Safety team has communicated with employees about illness prevention, including the CDC's recommendation of everyday preventive actions to stop the spread of germs, such as:
Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. If soap and water are not available, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer.
What is 2019 Novel Coronavirus?
2019 Novel Coronavirus, or COVID-19, is a respiratory virus first identified in Wuhan, Hubei Province, China. The World Health Organization reports, as of March 5, there were 95,333 confirmed cases around the world. A small number of confirmed cases have been detected in the United States, Canada and Australia. Learn about COVID-19.
What are the signs and symptoms?
Patients with confirmed COVID-19 infection have reportedly had mild to severe respiratory illness with symptoms of:
All Vail Resorts employees have been instructed to contact their health care provider and supervisor if they develop any of these symptoms.
How does the virus spread?
Some viruses are highly contagious (like measles), while other viruses are less so. It is not clear yet how easily COVID-19 spreads from person to person. When person-to-person spread has occurred, it is thought to have occurred via droplet transmission or when an infected person coughs or sneezes, similar to how influenza and other respiratory pathogens spread.
Transmission from asymptomatic people is not thought to be the main way the virus spreads, according to the CDC. Additionally, the CDC says intermediary surfaces are generally not considered capable of transmitting the coronavirus after two hours following contact by the infectious person.
How can I protect myself?
There is currently no vaccine to prevent the COVID-19 virus. The best way to prevent infection is to avoid being exposed to this virus. The CDC always recommends everyday preventive actions to help prevent the spread of respiratory viruses, here.

Some of the fun finds are Dr. Faciler, Remy, Figment, Evil Queen, Rapunzel, Aurora, and Mickey as the Brave Little Taylor. The "Haunted" one isn't a character, but the Haunted Mansion is my all time favorite so I couldn't resist including it.

The festival was created in 2013. Italian promoter Carlo Visintini visited a concert of the Moscow Youth Chamber Orchestra in the Great Hall of the Moscow Conservatory and invited them to play in Italy. The performance was a success, the young Russian musicians impressed the Italian public so much that it was decided to make their concerts a regular event. Thus the Artistic Director of the orchestra Valery Vorona and producer Carlo Visintini came up with the idea of a joint Festival of Russian-Italian culture.
The project was strongly supported by the Mayor of Montecatini Terme Giuseppe Belandi and the President of the Italian Festival «Estate Regina» Giovanni Fiori. The name for the new festival project was chosen not without reason – Montecatini Terme was the filming ground of Nikita Mikhalkov's famous movie "Ochi chornye" with Marcello Mastroianni in the leading part. In 2014 the renowned filmmaker was the guest of honor of the Festival.
Over the years, the Festival has acquired a lot of friends and admirers. Russia and Italy are linked with longstanding creative bonds. Evstigney Fomin and Maxim Berezovsky, Mikhail Glinka and Pyotr Tchaikovsky, Alexander Ivanov, Mikhail Vrubel, Andrei Tarkovsky — for each of them Italy was a source of mastery and inspiration.
The festival is famous for its unique traditions. In 2015 and 2016 monuments to the great Italian composers Giuseppe Verdi and Giacomo Puccini were unveiled in the center of Montecatini Terme. Both the monuments, which later on became a beautiful attraction of the resort, were a gift from the talented Russian sculptor Aidyn Zeinalov.
Another remarkable feature of the Festival which has become a tradition is that not only world-famous artists take part in the festival concerts, but also young virtuosos from Russia and Italy – scholars of the Russian Performing Art Fund and of the Vladimir Spivakov Fund, as well as pupils of the school of the Moscow Conservatory and Italian music schools and colleges.
One of the concerts of the festival is traditionally dedicated to young talents and has a symbolic name "The Future of the Great Music". Besides, at the Festival 2017 there will be held a Charity raffle, the proceeds of which will be used to support young talented musicians.

The President of the Union of Students in Ireland (USI), Laura Harmon, has warned this morning (Thursday) that a combination of a shortfall of purpose-built accommodation for students and the current state of the private rental sector will inevitably lead to students being forced to drop out of college.
Harmon's warning comes less than a month before CAO offers are set for release. Parents and prospective students are already facing difficulties, with all 3,000 purpose-built student beds in the city now booked out for the coming academic year.
USI is calling on government to urgently make provision for student accommodation in the capital and campus towns.
Rents across Ireland are rising, but rises are particularly pronounced in Dublin, where there is a 13% increase in on-campus rental prices.
A report by the Higher Education Authority released earlier this week highlighted high levels of drop-outs, particularly from students reliant on the student grant. Rental availability is known to be a key factor in drop-outs.
USI President Laura Harmon met with Senator Aideen Hayden, who has raised the issue of student accommodation shortfall in the Senate. Photo for free distribution when used with story. Click for high res.

Perspectives on Eureka
MHHV > Articles > Colonial to 1899 > Perspectives on Eureka
The Eureka Rebellion holds an interesting place in Victorian history depending on who you talk to, or, who happens to be writing about it. For an event that took less than 15 minutes (the tourist re-enactment takes longer than the real thing), it's interesting to speculate as to why the rebellion has acquired such iconic status.
Eureka was viewed by Henry Lawson in 1889 as an heroic stand against tyranny which he writes about in fervent and passionate terms:
"But not in vain those diggers died. Their comrades may rejoice,
For o'er the voice of tyranny is heard the people's voice
It says: 'Reform your rotten law, the diggers wrongs make right
Or else with them our brothers now, we'll gather to the fight."
"Few and taken by surprise,
Oh the mist that hid the skies –
And the steel in the diggers eyes –
Sunday morning in December long ago;
And they grapple and they strike
With the pick handle and the pike
Twenty minutes free Australia at Eureka long ago"
Eureka Stockade Battle
However, exactly how a rebellion against the perceived injustice of having to pay a licence fee to extract gold from crown land at the Ballarat diggings could "free Australia" isn't quite clear here. Undeniably, there were abuses of power on the goldfields and many today would wholeheartedly agree with the miner's view that "… it is the inalienable right of every citizen to have a voice in the making of the laws he is called on to obey, that taxation without representation is tyranny" but the fact is, there were no such things as 'inalienable rights' for anyone in the Australia of the 1850s and the notion that 'taxation without representation is tyranny' was just an opinion at the time, certainly not established political thought.
Others have used the events at Eureka as a personification of the Australian character "The Eureka spirit lives on today for one reason: it encapsulates much of what we hold dear as Australians….. Like Gallipoli, where glory came from defeat, and even like Ned Kelly taking on the police at Glenrowan, Eureka represents something enviable and durable about the Australian character." (The Age 29th November 2003)
Yet how many of those at the diggings who agitated for 'reform' were actually Australians? Certainly, of the thirteen miners who stood trial for their part in the rebellion, only one was an 'Australian' – is this then representative of the 'Australian character'? And what aspect of the 'Australian character' is being explored here?
H.V. Evatt, ALP politician and historian, claimed Eureka was "the birthplace of Australian democracy" but Peter Lalor, seen as one of the key leaders of the rebellion, denied any claims to be an advocate for democracy:
"I would ask these gentlemen what they mean by the term 'democracy'? Do they mean Chartism or Communism or republicanism? If so, I never was, I'm not now, nor do I ever intend to be a democrat."
Peter Lalor 1856 by Ludwig Becker. National Library of Australia.
Lalor later went on to actually oppose the extension of the franchise to people such as those on the diggings. In addition, by the time of the rebellion, political reform and the expansion of the franchise were already well underway, so we can hardly hold up Eureka as the catalyst for a change of heart by a 'tyrannical' colonial administration because no such change of heart occurred after Eureka. Prior to the rebellion, Governor Hotham had already instituted a Royal Commission into miner's grievances thereby showing an acknowledgement that the goldfield's administration needed an overhaul and a willingness to find a more effective strategy to deal with the varying interests within the colony. The 'birthplace of Australian democracy' argument doesn't really fly.
The symbol of the rebellion – the Eureka flag – has taken on an identity of its own, quite separate to the rebellion. It has been adopted as a symbol of the trade union movement and is waved at nationalistic occasions and dragged out when the republican debate flares. So how should we view Eureka? Something noble and soul stirring? A revolt against tyranny? Free enterprise against excessive taxation? Labour against the privileged ruling class? A republican movement? A fight for democratic 'rights' where there were none? A push for parliamentarian representation? Or something far more basic? Simply vested self-interested objections against a licence fees to extract gold? What do you think?
The military force at Eureka totalled 276 men, 152 from the 1st Battalion, 12th (East Suffolk) Regiment of Foot and the 1st Battalion 40th (2nd Somersetshire) Regiment of Foot, plus police and gun crews, and four artillery pieces. The force was under the command of Captain John Wellesley Thomas of the latter regiment. Commissioned in 1839 he had fought at Kandahar in the first Afghan War of 1841-1842, and had been badly wounded in India in 1843 in the Battle of Maharajpore. He was not about to be trifled with.
Lieutenant-General Sir John Wellesley Thomas, KCB (1822- 6 February 1908)
Thomas picked 40 soldiers and 26 police to attack the stockade on foot, protected on their flanks by 100 police and soldiers on horseback. The remainder of his force was held in reserve. In the early hours of Sunday 3rd December 1854, when Thomas reasoned that most of the miners would be asleep and some still drunk from the night before, his strike force made a quiet indirect approach through the bush and uphill to Eureka. There was to be no shooting unless his bugler gave the signal. At dawn the soldiers were spotted less than 200 yards from the stockade. Some miners opened fire, the bugle sounded, and the soldiers fired and charged. There was a brief but vicious fight inside the stockade before the miners surrendered, and Thomas ordered a ceasefire.
From the first shot the attack lasted barely 15 minutes. 24 miners were killed or died of wounds. Two soldiers of the 40th were killed, and Lt Henry Wise of the 40th and three soldiers of the 12th later died of their wounds. There were no police casualties.
List of casualties:
Lt. Henry Christopher Wise, aged 26, 40th Regiment, DOW.
Pte. Joseph Wall, aged 21, 40th Regiment, KIA.
Pte. Michael Ro(o)ney, aged 21, 40th regiment, KIA.
Pte Felix Boyle, aged 32, 12th regiment, DOW.
Pte. John Hall, aged 30, 12th regiment, DOW.
Pte. William Webb, aged 19, 12th Regiment, DOW.

We've been hard at work this spring and all the smaller and bigger changes we have announced have been a run-up to the announcements we're proud to make today. With UpCloud, we set out to give developers and organisations better performance, reliability and control over their cloud servers. With MaxIOPS, we have excelled in performance metrics. With our automated and N+1 redundant stack, we have given customers unprecedented reliability, something we can back up with a 100% SLA. We have also aimed to build our control panel in such a way that it is easy, intuitive and gets the job done on all aspects relating to your infrastructure.
Based on numerous discussions with a vast variety of customers with different backgrounds, we have understood that customers want us to offer more competitive pricing with regards to smaller cloud server configurations. Linode and DigitalOcean have been cited numerous times as offering the price level customers want.
We're proud to announce that today, we are launching preconfigured cloud servers that match or exceed the resources provided by the aforementioned companies and most importantly – at the prices customers have learned to value. In short, we are launching four preconfigured server instances that customers can choose at deployment to get even better value for their money. Furthermore, these instances can be topped off with a free choice of storage (MaxIOPS or HDD, where available) and again, you only pay for what you use.
*prices valid in Chicago and London, prices in Helsinki 1.5x.
The maximum price customers will ever pay for these servers are either $10, $20, $40 or $80 a month, when they keep their outbound traffic below the amount included. Please also note that preconfigured server instances are charged hourly even though they are turned off. Once the servers are deployed, customers can then add firewalls, backups and more disk space as needed – for an additional charge as listed in our pricing page. Also, if you reach the limits of the resources configured in your server, you can easily switch it to a server with a custom configuration or then upgrade to the next level of pre-configured cloud servers.
We have wanted to give our customers the best of both worlds – the prices of pre-configured cloud servers and if a time comes to scale things up – you can do so, just as you have been able to do before.
Our goal with respect to the Helsinki data centre has been to offer the most competitively priced cloud servers in Finland. We want to take leaps and bounds to exceed this goal and offer even more competitively priced resources in Helsinki, in addition to the preconfigured cloud servers.
We're happy to announce that we have lowered the prices of CPU and memory resources dramatically. CPU pricing has been lowered some 15% and memory is now almost 33% lower. These new prices are valid immediately and automatically applied to all customers utilising these resources in Helsinki.
The new pricing is available on our pricing page. 1 CPU core is currently priced at $8,93 (7,95€) and 1 GB of memory goes for $9,79 (8,71€). Both prices valid for a period of 30 days, calculated from the new hourly pricing.
We have also revamped our deployment process of servers to better serve our customers with regards to the new products. We also hope this is more straightforward, intuitive and effective process when deploying your servers.
We couldn't be happier with all the hard work we have accomplished leading up to the announcements made today. We sincerely hope you will also enjoy all the new products and pricing.
