This Sunday: 3rd Sunday in Lent - "Bearing Fruit"
This Sunday's Gospel reading is "The Parable of the Barren Fig Tree." Jesus tells the story of a fig tree that has not produced any fruit in three years. Though the vineyard owner wants to cut it down, the gardener says: "Give it one more year. Let me see what I can do."
Our purpose for being is to bear the rich, abundant fruits of the Spirit, so what is blocking you from experiencing the fullness of life right now?
Join us this Sunday at 10 AM (either in-person or streaming live online) as we explore together what this parable means for our lives today, especially during this season of Lent.
Message: Pastor Sal. Music: Peter Black and Stan Greene.

Last Week's Service Video — "Strong & Tender"
An image of Jesus as a mother hen protecting her chicks graces the altar front of the Church of Dominus Flevit in Jerusalem. In our gospel reading for the 2nd Sunday in Lent, Jesus refers to himself as a "Mother Hen," strong and protective, yet gentle. Please enjoy last Sunday's service, when we contemplated this image together and celebrated the 2nd Sunday in Lent.

In this season of Lent, we remind you that we hold a contempletive prayer service each Thursday at 5pm in the Sanctuary. A good time and place to quiet your mind and heart during this sacred season.
Please join us on April 14 at 6 PM for our Maundy Thursday service. This powerful service commemorates Jesus's last meal with his apostles and his seven last words. We will begin in the Friendship Hall with a simple meal of soup and bread, followed by a time of prayer and reflection in the church, where we will darken the sanctuary in preparation for Good Friday. If you plan to attend, please sign the poster hanging in the Friendship Hall or email julie@douglasucc.org, so that we know how much food to prepare. Thank you.
Help us fill our Easter Altar with Lilies
in Honor or Memory of Loved Ones
On Easter Sunday, we hope to have our altar filled with Easter Lilies! Please consider purchasing an Easter Lily plant for $15. Please use the special "Easter Lily" envelopes in the pews on Sunday (or mail a check to Douglas UCC, P. O. Box 519, Douglas, MI 49406). You can purchase a plant in honor or memory of a loved one, whose name will appear in the bulletin on Easter Sunday, and you can take the plant home after our Easter service. Thank you so much!
Call for UCC Board Candidates
The Nominating Committee of the United Church of Christ General Synod is encouraging the best minds and creative souls across the denomination to use their gifts in service to the church on the UCC Board. Committee members are looking to identify a number of candidates in a process that begins in March, to join the UCC Board for a six-year term from 2023 through 2029.
There are 12 at-large board seats available. The nomination process is open through Oct. 1. Candidates can be suggested by Conferences of the UCC, ministers, members of historically underrepresented groups, and even by self-nomination. Any UCC member is eligible.
'Wide array' neededThe Rev. Rachel MaeRose chairs the 2022 committee. The pastor of Christ Community Church in Cortland, N.Y., has been serving on the committee since 2017. They said the group is "seeking nominees from a wide array of backgrounds and regions."
"Without people from a wide array of experiences, perspectives and expertise, the UCC would lose part of our fundamental identity, and we would be much poorer for it."
The UCC Board meets twice a year as a group in March and October. Virtual meetings have replaced in-person gatherings in Cleveland due to the pandemic. The UCCB, currently coming together on Zoom, works with the three elected officers to steer the vision, goals and actions of the national setting of the denomination.
Visit this link for more on candidate nominations.
UCC Issues Appeal for Ukraine
The United Church of Christ is issuing an appeal for the people of Ukraine and will be working with global partners to assist vulnerable communities within that country.
The appeal joins an earlier call to prayer issued by the UCC's executive officers and an invitation from Global Ministries to pray with the worldwide interfaith community. The national ministries are also encouraging people to call on the Biden administration to offer Ukrainians more humanitarian assistance, both in the U.S. and abroad.
Read more about the UCC's appeal here.
Dontate to help Ukrainians
The United Church of Christ is appealing for support for refugees and for elderly and other vulnerable people who are displaced within Ukraine and unable to leave. As a member of the ACT Alliance, UCC support is being targeted to people most in need through humanitarian relief partners with a history of working in the region.
All donations will be deposited into the International Disasters fund designated for "Ukraine Relief." Your generous financial support will be used by our partners in the areas of greatest need. One can also mail a check made payable to the United Church of Christ PO BOX 71957 Cleveland, OH 44194. Please be sure to note "Ukraine Relief Fund" on your check in the memo section.

Additional equity or debt financing may not be available when required or available on commercially favorable terms or on terms that are otherwise satisfactory to us, in which event there may be a material adverse effect on our financial condition.
The electricity produced and revenues generated by a wind power plant depend heavily on wind conditions, which are variable and difficult to predict. Operating results for wind power plants vary significantly from period to period depending on the wind conditions during the periods in question. We have based our decisions about which sites to develop in part on the findings of long-term wind and other meteorological studies conducted in the proposed area, which measure the wind's speed, prevailing direction and seasonal variations. Actual wind conditions at these sites, however, may not conform to the measured data in these studies and may be affected by variations in weather patterns, including any potential impact of climate change. Therefore, the electricity generated by our wind power plants may not meet our anticipated production levels or the rated capacity of the turbines located there, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. In some quarters the wind resources at our operating wind power plants, while within the range of our long-term estimates, have varied from the averages we expected. If the wind resources at a facility are below the average level we expect, our rate of return for the facility would be below our expectations and we would be adversely affected. Projections of wind resources also rely upon assumptions about turbine placement, interference between turbines and the effects of vegetation, land use and terrain, which involve uncertainty and require us to exercise considerable judgment. We or our consultants may make mistakes in conducting these wind and other meteorological studies. Any of these factors could cause our development sites to have less wind potential than we expected, or to cause us to develop our sites in ways that do not optimize their potential, which could cause the return on our investment in these wind power plants to be lower than expected.

Iran's crackdown on western destabilizers
by Pallak Kashyap
in West Asia
In the list of victims of the US's false propaganda and crimes against humanity, Iran tops the list. On the path to attaining its ulterior motives, Washington has, for decades, shamelessly never stopped plotting against the rise of Iran.
In its latest ploy, the US has employed the anti-hijab movement as a tool to weaken the diplomatic, financial and political interests of Iran.
Trudeau's policies make Canadian universities the cradle of China's technological feat
During the Iranian revolution against the regime of Mohammad Reza Shah in 1979, Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps were on a quest to eliminate any sign of American influence. Iran's anti-US environment resulted from the US's unlawful interference in the troubled Middle Eastern nation for a long time.
In such a backdrop, after the rise of Ayatollah Khomeini's rise into power in 1979, Iran was subjected to unprecedented levels of diplomatic and political isolation at the hands of the US in the international arena. The period of the Iranian revolution coincided with heightened Cold War tensions when the CIA was quite successful in infiltrating the intelligence system of several nations.
Source- NDTV
However, the notorious American intelligence agency, which is responsible for many regime changes, was unable to successfully intrude on Iran's intelligence structure. Irrespective of this, the US kept trying to get somehow involved in the internal political, military and social domains of Iran in order to destabilise it. That is why during the Iran-Iraq War of 1980-88, the US even backed Saddam Hussein. The same Saddam Hussein who later turned out to be one of the primary rivals of the US in 2003.
How the West destroyed Iran?
Throughout the years, the US damaged and hurt the political, economic and diplomatic interests of Iran. Washington along with its allies which include the UK, Canada etc created a misinformation campaign against Tehran on the geopolitical stage.
In addition to persuading other nations to suspend trade, military and other bilateral ties with Iran, the Western superpower bullies imposed sanctions on Tehran and banned it from the international financial market. The West also embraced Iranian dissidents in order to ascertain what is happening internally in the nation.
Source- Time
Unfortunately, the US and its allies' measures culminated in adverse repercussions for Iran. The country is not only abandoned by rich and powerful nations but also the regional powers such as Saudi Arabia.
But the probability of lights at the end of the tunnel was evident during the signing of the landmark Joint Comprehensive Action Plan (JCPOA). As per the agreement, Iran would allow extensive international inspection of its nuclear program in exchange for billions of dollars worth of sanctions relief. The agreement marked a sea change in how Iran, the US and other regional states interacted.

However, sadly the US withdrew from this remarkable accord in 2018 under the Trump administration. Not only the US resumed its diplomatic onslaughts on Tehran following this humiliating withdrawal, but it also attacked several prominent Iranians.
In these unpredictable circumstances, the killing of Mahsa Amini by Iran's morality police for not wearing hijab further plunged the nation into a deep political turmoil. As hundreds of thousands of Iranians took to the streets against the regime of Ebrahim Raisi, the US, Canada etc saw an opportunity to interfere in the internal affairs of Iran. Biden, Trudeau and their allies soon joined the destructive anti-national forces to defame Iran, annihilate its sovereignty and destroy its political stability.
Read more: Biden's propaganda warfare is flaring up tensions between Saudi Arabia and Iran
The sudden interest of Justin Trudeau, Joe Biden and Emmanuel Macron in Iran's social, religious and political affairs is a clear-cut sign that they are using the anti-hijab protest as a weapon to hurt Iran.
Tehran fights back against Western atrocities
However, the Iranian government is also not backing down in light of such baseless attacks on its credibility by nations whose own track record is questionable. Despite widespread systematic misinformation campaigns by the Western mainstream media and leaders, the Iranian authorities are leaving no stone unturned to avert any endeavour to incite a political crisis in the country.
It has ended up arresting a lot of foreign nationals who took part in the massive anti-national protests disguised as advocating for a woman's right to wear a hijab. But in reality, these so-called expressions of civilian dissent are the West's strategy to destroy Iran. Earlier, the US and EU diplomatically isolated Iran, destroyed its economy and now they are creating trouble internally.
But simultaneously, Iran is not letting the West dictate it on how to govern itself. For a long time, Tehran avoided any major confrontation with the US. However, as Washington and Ottawa have crossed all the limits, Iran is compelled to crack down on spies and moles who have disguised themselves as peaceful demonstrators. Iran is taking all measures to protect its espionage system from the vicious attempts of the West to infiltrate it.

What We Do to Help ?
How Can You Donate ?
What Do We Need Right Now ?
Wow, I think we all surpassed ourselves in so many ways tonight. 40 people came through the door and apparently 31 by 6.15pm, it must have been the smell of the cooking. On the menu, this evening was Carrot and Lentil Soup, Pork Ribs with a sticky marinade, Boston beans, Sausages and Apple Crumble and Custard. We seem to have ended up with three courses over the last two weeks. Due to the glut of food, we are getting we are trying to use as much as we can.
This week Jan has had so many carrots she reckons she is going to look for some horses to feed, we cooked some, gave a box out in the Soup kitchen last night to the clients, left some for the Foodbank session to give to their families and still had loads left. Meryl has been given an enormous crate of beautiful red peppers that will be roasted and frozen ready for soup or a pasta sauce, the supermarkets are so generous. We think the Soup Kitchen should get some culinary award, the menu tonight was fantastic. Everything was eaten and all the food from Greggs and Pret A Manger were consumed or taken away too.
One of our clients whom we spoke to last week popped in while we were setting up. They came to see Meryl thank her for sorting out a new freezer with The Community Furniture Project which was delivered on Tuesday. They arrived early and wanted to stay inside because of the cold. We use the time before each session to have a confidential briefing so we had to ask them to step outside. Whereas before this person would have been difficult and argumentative it was accepted and understood. Meryl thought how much this person has changed over the last two years, they are trying so hard to turn their life around and make better choices. They have had a horrendous upbringing and struggled with life.
Alice came in from Healthwatch this evening to promote the new Healthcare card that we talked about last week. The laminated cards are on site and she gave out quite a few.
The session was very busy and one of our regulars was very agitated when he came in. He was upset as he has a court appearance soon and is worried he will be going to prison. He needed lots of reassurance, especially from Jan that he was a good person. He calmed down and settled as the session went on. Sadly people such as him do not always have someone to go to court with as support. They trust so little and it takes a long time to gain that trust.
Another regular client was very drunk and loud requiring Mai-Britt and Jan to spend a long time calming and talking them down as they were very very loud and upset about a relationship. Eventually, they settled down and we got as much squash down them as so they could sober up a bit and rehydrate them. This person left much happier than when they came in. Often a person just needs to rant and let off steam to someone who will listen and support them. Again, over the two years, we have been open we have worked hard to gain the trust of our clients. We help where we can to bridge the gaps and be there when possible. If we cannot be there we try to find the help needed.
Some of our clients of ours live on boats on the canal which can be very cold if they are unable to heat them properly. A client we have at present is very cold as their wood burning stove is broken so a couple of volunteers are going to meet them together next week with some sealant for their stove. Hopefully, it will be enough to fix it. In the Soup Kitchen session this evening they phoned a stove engineer and asked a few questions and between them worked out what the problem was. They are not going themselves onto the boat but again small simple gestures can go a long way into sorting a problem that can be enormous for someone else.
The Canal Trust are very supportive of the Soup Kitchen clients, we will see what else we can arrange to make their lives easier. Meryl will speak to the Canal Trust to see if I can get their 20-mile travel contract up and down the river reduced as they are vulnerable. When people live on a barge or boat and they do not have a mooring the rule is their boat has to move up to approximately 20 miles up and down the canal in a year as it is not a fixed mooring. In the past, Meryl has spoken to the Canal Trust who are very understanding to support vulnerable people with this. It people have and need a support mechanism behind them in way of charities and statutory services it makes sense to reduce that move on area to keep them near the people that help them. If people, for example, have medical needs it is important that they need to be near their doctor. We will hopefully be able to support them a bit to make their situation a bit easier.
One of our long term clients who has turned her life around and is clean from drugs now for four months (we are so proud of her) came in and Meryl saw her outside, she was so excited to come in and tell us how she was getting on.
Occasionally we have to deal with altercations between clients which often start and finish in a blink of an eye. Most of the time you get a sense when trouble is coming and can nip it in the bud, unfortunately, this time it got a bit physical. To ensure that there were no further issues Sue our Community Police Officer and Meryl went together to ask her to go home. Sue called her police colleague Matt who was on duty to pop in just in case. Sue gave this lady a firm lecture and explained the possible outcome of behaviour like that. We explained how violent behaviour like that could affect her future and her beautiful home, reiterating that she had been up until now doing so well.
We discussed that I would be banning her and why and she took that on board. She wanted to apologise to all the staff and to the innocent lady she had knocked to the floor, she said she saw red and the aggression overtook her. She was very cross with herself, embarrassed and very remorseful. Due to that Meryl and Sue did not involve the police but told her in no uncertain terms if she did assault anyone again in the Soup Kitchen we would not be so forgiving next time and that it would result in an assault charge.
One of our clients who is very kind and often taken advantage of by others has got herself in a difficult situation. She is looking after a dog for a friend and now the friend is not answering any calls. This person cannot keep the dog as she cannot afford it and she is unable to have animals in her property.
Meryl has phoned the RSPCA for advice. The dog cannot be given to them as we understand it the owner is the only person who can sign the dog over. The owner does not want to take responsibility for the dog as he cannot have it in his property because of his tenancy, he is happy however it seems to risk this persons tenancy. Often we see the same people used, exploited, taken advantage of and hounded to lend money that invariably does not come back. Vulnerable people often become a target for such behaviour and they do not often recognise it.
Meryl was on Kennet Radio on Tuesday with Chris Boulton the CEO from Greenham Trust who does a show every Wednesday morning with a charity section. The Soup Kitchen was the first charity of the year, he has a long list of local charities signed up to have a chat with him. It was good fun and Meryl enjoyed answering the questions about what we do and our plans for the future.
We are still looking for a suitable building to move into so we can expand into a Community Support Centre under the HAVEN (West Berkshire) charity. Until then the Soup Kitchen will continue as normal in the Salvation Army hall as it is now a division of HAVEN (West Berkshire). The Salvation Army is very kind and supportive to the Soup Kitchen allowing us to use their facilities.
Our article "A homeless person is not just for Christmas" will be in the NWN this week (letter section) and also on our website. Our Amazon Wishlist is still active this can also be found on our website. All items are desperately need are updated regularly so please keep an eye on that. At present we are in need of strong paper plates, they are on our list at present.
We were able this week to have a wonderful display of toiletries and goods for people to help themselves regardless of their situation. The generosity of the local community has been wonderful this Christmas.
The homeless people in our community struggle every day regardless of time of year. Now Christmas is over please do not forget them. We are here every week hopefully keeping their voice alive and up to date.
The continued support, belief and genuine love of what the volunteers do at the Soup Kitchen is so wonderful to witness. When something happens in the session we work so effectively as a team, together. It is a special place I know for so many.

You can look at your fixed and variable costs to see if anything could be reduced. This could help to increase the amount the business can afford to pay you (your drawings).
Although these costs are usually the same each month, there are still ways of reducing them or managing them more easily.
Always get professional help from your accountant or business adviser before making any drastic changes to your business.
You could try to negotiate better terms with your landlord on your business rent, especially if the property is likely to be difficult to rent out to someone else. If your landlord will not reduce the rent, you could think about whether to end the lease or pass the lease on to someone else and look for cheaper premises.
It may be that you don't need business premises to trade. Think about whether you could trade from home to save you money on business rent, business rates and utility bills.
You may qualify for a reduction on your business rates bill, depending on where your business is and what type of business you are. The rules can be complicated and you would need to contact your local council to find out what you are entitled to. Contact us for advice.


Read some more about Eunomia. This is an ill-conceived idea and I'm confident in predicting it will not work.
Algorithmically capturing trust is doomed to fail. We don't even know how to properly define trust. You can guarantee this is going to be gamed. Throwing "big data" and "blockchain" in there doesn't matter at all. Those are words that get you funding.

CVV Redichem is een Nederlandse amateurvoetbalclub uit Heelsum in Gelderland, opgericht in 1959. Het eerste elftal van de club speelt in de Vierde klasse zaterdag (2022/23). De clubkleuren zijn geel-zwart.

Geschiedenis
Al van 1929 tot 1933 kwam Redichem op zondag uit met meerdere teams in de competitie van de Arnhemsche Voetbalbond. Ze speelde op diverse plekken in het dorp Renkum waaronder op de weide van het toenmalige Huis Heelsum (nu Koningshof). Ook speelden ze op de Noordberg op een veld met alleen maar helmgras en vlak bij een schaapskooi. Een andere locatie was een weiland achter het bedrijf van Leeuwis op de Bellevue (nu restaurant Happy garden).

In 1959 werd de voetbalafdeling van Redichem heropgericht en speelde in eerste instantie op het oude veld van Harten Rijn dat in 1946 was opgegaan in CHRC in de uiterwaarden aan de Bokkedijk. Later vertrok de club naar sportpark Wilhelmina. Het clubhuis was destijds een oude schaapskooi maar men heeft tegenwoordig een eigen kantine. Redichem was in het verleden een omnivereniging met onder andere ook een korfbalafdeling.

De club speelt op het Wilhelmina sportpark in Heelsum.

These easy marinades for grilled chicken combine big flavors with almost no prep work. And the marinating times? Well, unlike tough cuts of meat, chicken doesn't need long dips in the marinade pool before hopping onto the grill. So you can have marinated grilled chicken for dinner even on your busiest summer days.
Marination times. Some of the recipes below call for hours of marinating. You can certainly go the distance if you like, but it's fine to reduce the marinating time. Also, if you start with cold chicken, fresh from the fridge, and cover the chicken and marinade mixture or seal it up tightly in a large plastic bag, you can let it come to room temperature -- not longer than 30 minutes. And then take it directly to the hot grill.
Start smooth-side down. Chicken pieces typically have a smooth side and a rough side. Place your marinated chicken smooth-side down on the hot grill grates to start. If you begin rough-side down, the chicken is more likely to stick, tearing as you turn it.
Thick parts over the hot spots. Position the chicken pieces so that the thicker parts are sitting over the hottest part of the grill.
Thighs are great for grilling. Chicken breasts are always delicious. But chicken thighs can be a bit more forgiving on the grill. Because thighs are a little fattier than chicken breasts, they can withstand a smidge of overcooking on the grill. The fat keeps the meat nice and juicy.
Start with a good sear. Get a good sear on one side, then turn the chicken and finish grilling with the lid closed. This method gives you nice grill marks and also turns your grill into an oven, which will will help cook your chicken evenly.
Boil extra marinade. Extra marinade? If you boil your marinade for at least 3 minutes, you'll have yourself a tasty sauce. But you must boil it first to kill any bacteria that may have built up. Boiling marinade will also concentrate flavors.
You want simple? This chicken marinade combines Italian salad dressing, garlic powder, and salt. Add the chicken and marinate as long as you like. "I don't know what magic occurs when these 4 little ingredients come together," says momabroad. "But the results are fantastic."
Here's an easy chicken marinade for quick weeknight meals. All you do is mix together lemon juice, soy sauce, ginger, and black pepper and pour it into a large, resealable plastic bag. Add boneless, skinless chicken breasts, and marinade for 20 minutes or more.
The only chopping you'll need to do here is the parsley. Otherwise, it's just combine vegetable oil, red wine vinegar, lemon juice, soy and Worcestershire sauces, mustard powder, minced parsley, and the chicken pieces of your choice.
Here's a super-simple recipe for boneless, skinless chicken breasts. Just whisk together vegetable oil, vinegar, molasses, soy sauce, and a few seasonings -- lemon-pepper and garlic and onion powders. Dinner's ready in no time.
Here's a lime chicken marinade straight from the Florida Keys. "This recipe is the best chicken marinade," says TINA B. "And it only takes 30 minutes from prep to grill."
A soy chicken marinade with garlic. "This is the easiest marinade I have ever used," says CANDIELIPS. "It works well with any cut of chicken -- thighs, legs, whatever you have."
With this recipe, you chop nothing. Just mix together lime juice, honey, vegetable oil, and a few ground spices. "It seriously doesn't get any easier than this," Terri confirms. "And to top things off, I had all the items in my cupboard."
Crush a little fresh garlic, and mix it with soy sauce, vegetable oil, brown sugar, and the secret ingredient, sherry! For best results, use drinking sherry not cooking sherry, which is loaded with sodium. Stephani dispensed with the sherry entirely, using cognac instead, all to 5-star effect: "Really simple and just great!" she raves.


Case Summary: Though case of true hyponatremia can be multifactorial, cisplatin is the most likely primary culprit in this case. Let's take a look at the clues. First things first – is this true or pseudonatremia?
Now that we know this is true hyponatremia as the serum osmolality is indeed low, let's divide our differential for true hyponatremia into 3 buckets based on volume status: hypovolemic, euvolemic, and hypervolemic (keeping in mind that assessment of volume status is not always straightforward).
On initial presentation and physical examination, we find a woman with a history of recent spinal surgery, poor oral intake, recent chemotherapy with multiple agents including cisplatin, and hints of hypovolemia on physical exam (dry mucous membranes). From the history and exam, hypervolemic etiologies of hyponatremia seem less likely (i.e. cirrhosis, congestive heart failure). We'll need some more information to figure out if this fits in the hypovolemic or euvolemic category.
Remember that hypervolemic and hypovolemic both patients develop hyponatremia as their low effective circulating volume (ECV) leads to increased antidiuretic hormone secretion (ADH), insertion of aquaporins in the distal tubule, and ultimately absorption of free water and hyponatremia. Though hypervolemic patients have high total body volume, their ECV is low. In patients with low effective circulating volume, we would usually expect LOW urine sodium.
Hypovolemia and increased serum osmolality are stimuli for increased ADH secretion, with the hypovolemic stimulus being more potent (imagine getting bitten by a tiger and needing to conserve your body volume!) and the osmolality stimulus more sensitive.
Onto more data. We find a high urine sodium (suggests euvolemia) and a high urine osmolality (suggests high ADH activity).
This smells like SIADH right? A classic feature of SIADH is euvolemia.
Other etiologies of euvolemic hyponatremia include psychogenic polydipsia, "tea and toast" diet, and beer potomania.
But on physical exam, we find orthostatic hypotension! How can we put it all together? Close review of the patient's medications shows us cisplatin use within the last week – which is known to cause renal salt wasting (RSW) and explain the high urine sodium. With RSW, the urine studies are indistinguishable from SIADH and we must rely on the patient's history and thorough physical exam (including orthostatics) that confirm hypovolemia. The treatment? Give back the salt and replete the volume! This can be done with isotonic solutions such as normal saline (154 meq NaCl/L).


If you looked at the changes in many areas of the world today, you would conclude that none of these changes come without the effect of the technology.One of the areas that technology has really made an irresistible effect is in the manufacturing of drones. Buying the right iris+ batteries is one of the effective ways you can use to maintain a drone.
If there is something that most people are talking about in the tech world is about drones. It's amazing that business owners, adults, and kids want to own a drone for their own reasons. Don't just assume that buying your kid a drone is easy because most of the aerial vehicles for kids are also quite expensive.
It's also important to think about the battery life the drone will be using. The time the drone would remain in the air is highly dependent on the quality of the batteries and the battery life. Find out the duration it would the drone to have its used batteries fully recharged.The most appropriate drone should offer a flight of about 20 minutes and take about 30 minutes to recharge its batteries.
When buying a drone, you shouldn't invest your money in any type before you have thought about the availability of the replacement parts. While it's true that drones are some of the aerial vehicles manufactured, one shouldn't assume that they are free from accidents.It has been established that lightweight drones are prone to falls that may necessitate the need for replacement parts such as gears, propellers, extra batteries and rotor blades. Knowing if these replacement parts can be accessed with ease is paramount consideration.
Before you buy a drone, it's vital to find out more about its speed as well as elevation. Although the smaller drones are easy to buy and maintain, they can't fly as higher as the larger ones can do. If your primary aim is to take great aerial photos, you should go for a drone with advanced systems. The four points above are important for any individual who is planning to own a drone for their desired purpose.


Join with others to urge Congress to reauthorize the Trafficking Victims Protection Act.
The Trafficking Victims Protection Act (TVPA) of 2000 is the cornerstone of Federal human trafficking legislation, and established several methods of prosecuting traffickers, preventing human trafficking, and protecting victims and survivors of trafficking. The act establishes human trafficking and related offenses as federal crimes, and attaches severe penalties to them. It also mandates restitution be paid to victims of human trafficking.
It has been reauthorized and extended several times, including in 2013, when it was passed as an amendment to the Violence Against Women Act. The reauthorization established and strengthened programs to ensure that U.S. citizens do not purchase products made by victims of human trafficking, and to prevent child marriage. It also put into place emergency response provisions within the State Department to respond quickly to disaster areas and crises where people are particularly susceptible to being trafficked. The reauthorization also strengthened collaboration with state and local law enforcement to ease charging and prosecuting traffickers.
The Scourge of Human Trafficking. Tell Congress to Take the TPVA to the next level.

NBA trade rumors
Report: Nuggets won't be trading Michael Porter Jr.
We analyze what Denver needs to do before the deadline and update you on the latest news and rumors.
By Garion Thorne Updated Feb 4, 2020, 11:25am PST
Share All sharing options for: Report: Nuggets won't be trading Michael Porter Jr.
Throughout last year's run into the second-round of the NBA Playoffs, the Denver Nuggets appeared to be a team that was destined to underwhelm in the NBA's second season. It's a common narrative. Even going back as recently as a decade, we've had countless examples of squads being deep enough to thrive during the regular season grind, but lacking the star power to rise to the top when rotations shrink in May and June. That's why it seemed so likely that Denver would take a stab at Bradley Beal this past summer. They had the trade assets, they had the cap room, they had everything you could possibly need. Alas, Beal inked an extension with Washington and that dream fell through the cracks.
However, it's obviously not all doom and gloom in Colorado. The Nuggets are 28-12 and Nikola Jokic has slowly - I stress slowly - played his way back into game shape as the season's rolled along. Still, could Denver be active at the deadline? Could they try and push the chips all-in?
Latest news, rumors, analysis for Denver Nuggets
Report: Michael Porter Jr. not going anywhere
Update, Feb. 4: The Denver Post is reporting that the Nuggets have no plans of trading Michael Porter Jr. before Thursday's Trade Deadline. Denver is also seeking a first-round pick for G Malik Beasley in any trade talks.
NBA trade deadline: Nuggets aren't trading Michael Porter Jr., are seeking first-round pick for Malik Beasley, according to two league sources.
The latest @DPostSports. https://t.co/XNMiLw77KR

How can the Nuggets replace Mason Plumlee?
So Plumlee isn't out for the season, but he's expected to be sidelined through the Trade Deadline on Feb. 6 potentially. With Paul Millsap also injured, the Nuggets have been using Jerami Grant and Michael Porter Jr. at SF and PF next to Nikola Jokic. This hasn't been an issue — both Grant and Porter have played very well. But let's say Plumlee and Millsap stay out or don't get healthy, what are Denver's options?
This would be pretty drastic, but is adding Kevin Love in play? The Nuggets would have to give up picks and dump Millsap's salary, but this is the type of move that could push the Nuggets over the top and able to compete with the Clippers and Lakers. Robert Covington also fits the mold of a versatile swingman who can guard multiple positions.
Jrue to the Rescue?
This is setting up to be a bit of an odd trade deadline. With the eight-seeds in each conference being so wide open nearly half-way into the campaign, it's sort of a mystery as to which teams might position themselves as sellers. Take, for instance, the Pelicans. The Athletic's Shams Charania reported back in late December that New Orleans and Denver might be looking to come together on a deal centered around point guard Jrue Holiday; however, the Pelicans are now 7-3 in their past 10 contests with the league's seventh-best offensive rating (114.3). Also, they're expected to welcome back first-overall pick Zion Williamson from injury on Jan. 22. I'm not 100% sure that sounds like a profile of a squad looking to sell-off parts. Still, it wouldn't be insane for David Griffin to consider getting some assets for Holiday, especially with how well Lonzo Ball has looked in recent weeks. Plus, Holiday would give the Nuggets some much needed secondary play-making to assist the heavily burdened Jokic. Additionally, his presence would slide Jamal Murray over to the two, where his skill-set makes a little more sense.
The Untouchable Michael Porter Jr.
It's unclear if Denver would have to include Michael Porter Jr. in a possible deal for Holiday, but, if the rumblings are to be believed, that might be a deal-breaker. The Nuggets feel strongly about the upside of their former lottery pick from 2018, enough where they've almost made the 21-year-old untouchable in trade negotiations. Now, two months ago, that inclination seemed a little crazy, yet Porter's potential has become obvious with his role increasing so far in January. The Missouri product has averaged 10.0 points and 3.6 rebounds with a .715 true shooting percentage in just over 17 minutes per game. The question now isn't necessarily if Denver would be willing to part ways with Porter, but rather what kind of player it would take to get them to consider it.

DH: HEH! Where'd ya get a video of my Uncle Jun?

It looks like the man's name is Pasquale Sciarappa, from Long Branch, NJ. Doesn't some of your DH's family live in NJ, K-Girl?
His shirt might be spotless, but how many wardrobe changes did he go through?
Interesting and fun. Thanks for sharing but it's worth noting that the canning process used isn't safe. These should be processed in a water bath for about 35 - 40 minutes.
does cooking it on an open wood burning fire add anything to the flavor of the final product ?
I doubt it. It seems like that is how it was done when he was a kid in Italy, when the whole town got together to make sauce. I assume he is just following tradition -- and sharing a bit of history with us.

Disappointed by the high costs and elusive benefits, early adopters of customer relationship management systems came, in the post dot-com era, to view the technology as just another overhyped IT investment whose initial promise would never be fulfilled. But this year, something unexpected is happening. System sales are rising, and executives are reporting satisfaction with their CRM investments. What's changed?
A wide range of companies are successfully taking a pragmatic, disciplined approach to CRM. Rather than use it to transform entire businesses, they've directed their investments toward solving clearly defined problems within their customer relationship cycle.
The authors have distilled the experiences of these CRM leaders into four questions that all companies should ask themselves as they launch their own CRM initiatives: Is the problem strategic? Is the system focused on the pain point? Do we need perfect data? What's the right way to expand an initial implementation?
The questions reflect a new realism about when and how to deploy CRM to best advantage. Understanding that highly accurate and timely data are not required everywhere in their businesses, CRM leaders have tailored their real-time initiatives to those customer relationships that can be significantly enhanced by "perfect" information. Once they've succeeded with their first targeted CRM project, they can use it as a springboard for solving additional problems.
CRM, in other words, is coming to resemble any other valuable management tool, and the keys to successful implementation are also becoming familiar: strong executive and business-unit leadership, careful strategic planning, clear performance measures, and a coordinated program that combines organizational and process changes with the application of new technology.
Frustrated by high costs and dubious payoffs, managers that used the first customer-relationship management (CRM) systems came to view them as overhyped IT investments. Accordingly, CRM spending plummeted between 2001and 2003. But now CRM system sales are soaring, as executives from a wide variety of industries tout CRM's value.
What's changed? Rather than trying to transform entire businesses through full-scale CRM implementations, companies are applying CRM in disciplined, focused ways—and getting more from it. How to realize the same benefits from your CRM initiatives? Use CRM to solve highly specific customer-relationship challenges—such as accurately diagnosing call center customers' problems. Invest in real-time information—the holy grail of CRM—only where it's needed. For example, a hotel manager requires real-time data on room availability, not on customers' opinions about room decor. Equally crucial, use what you learn from successful smaller CRM projects to tackle larger problems.
By knowing where in your business to deploy CRM, and how, you stand to score impressive revenue gains—as companies like Kimberly-Clark, Ingersoll-Rand, and Brother have done.
Aircraft-parts distributor Aviall Inc. needed a well-trained sales force to achieve its strategic objective: becoming the premier industry provider of supply-chain management services. The company installed only those CRM elements required to enhance sales-force and order-entry productivity.
Consumer-goods giant Kimberly-Clark's pain point lay in its retailer promotions. Running thousands of promotions annually, it couldn't discern which promotions strengthened retailer loyalty and sales. It installed a modest CRM system that enabled managers to track the return on investments in individual promotions. In the initiative's first year, Kimberly-Clark streamlined budgets and increased profits by redirecting $20 million in promotion spending.
Japanese equipment maker Brother International's U.S. arm faced high product-return rates stemming from customers' dissatisfaction with call-center service. The company launched a new CRM system that enabled service reps to identify customers when they called, quickly locate their purchase records, and provide codified responses to common questions. Call times shrank by 43 seconds, saving $855,000 annually. Product returns fell by one-third over three years.
Diversified manufacturer Ingersoll-Rand recognized that customers who purchased its golf carts might like to buy other divisions' products, such as Bobcat mini-excavators and loaders. The company spurred cross-selling by expanding its golf-course division's CRM order-taking function to include other divisions. The initiative generated additional orders of $6.2 million in its first few months.
A comprehensive CRM system can, in theory, automate every aspect of a company's relationship with its customers, from all the activities needed to target customers through those for product development, sales, service, and retention. But smart companies sharply focus their CRM implementations, carefully choosing which segment of the cycle, and which functions within that segment, are likely to deliver the greatest return on an initial CRM investment. Success with this first effort often lights the way to subsequent projects—automating additional functions in the same segment (as Kimberly-Clark did), steadily moving from segment to segment (as Brother did), or even moving to critical business processes beyond CRM (as Molex did).
With clear thinking and a basic grasp of decision diagrams, any manager can estimate the true value of information. Let's take a look at a disguised example we'll call Ace Grocery.
Todd Green, Ace's owner, was deeply concerned when a new competitor entered his area. A newspaper poll indicated that 20% of his customers planned to switch. But a consultant said that 50% of the potential defectors could be retained if Ace offered each $100 in retention rewards. Unfortunately, spending the $100 on loyal customers would probably not make them more loyal, and Ace didn't know which customers were which. Todd began to sketch out his options.
Ace had 1,000 customers, each worth an average of $1,000. If Todd did nothing, he'd retain only 80% of them, and Ace's value would fall from $1 million to $800,000. Todd tried another option.
Todd would lose fewer customers but would spend so much that the store's expected value would still fall to $800,000. Todd began to wonder if he could use CRM data to predict which customers would defect. He estimated how much that would be worth.
If Todd could manage to offer $100 to all (and only) the potential defectors, Ace's expected value would only fall to $880,000. So $80,000 became the most Todd would pay for perfect information.
Todd called CRM Systems, a software vendor with the best package for predicting defectors. The system cost $20,000, but Todd estimated that additional implementation costs would add another $30,000. That $50,000 was still far below the $80,000 hurdle rate, so Todd asked for a meeting. He learned that the CRM system could correctly identify 60% of potential defectors. Unfortunately, 30% of loyal customers would also be identified as potential defectors. Todd calculated the value of this "imperfect" information.
Since the implementation of this software would drop Ace's value to $774,000, Todd rejected the proposal. Todd decided that the best approach was to offer all customers $100. Ace would retain 900 customers instead of 800, and his most loyal customers would not feel shortchanged.
Through this process, Todd learned to address four critical questions.
Todd knew that the value of information generally rises with its immediacy (making timely actions possible) and accuracy (making actions more productive). But Todd learned that reported accuracy often tells only half the story. Correctly predicting 60% of defectors sounded good until Todd's analysis showed that 30% of the loyal 80% would also be wrongly labeled as potential defectors. That would mean that a customer identified as a potential defector would be a true defector only 33% of the time. Forecasting is not always more valuable than guessing.
Information that helps satisfy customers is far more valuable than information that merely satisfies curiosity. Todd calculated that the imperfect CRM information combined with a $100 retention program that saved only 50% of vulnerable customers created an expected value of just $774,000. However, if the $100 retention program could save 100% of vulnerable customers, the same CRM system would create an expected value of $834,000. Of course, offering loyalty rewards to every customer would now create an even greater value—$900,000.
Todd's analysis demonstrated that the $20,000 CRM costs were swamped by the additional expenses of training, data collection, data analysis, information dissemination, and implementation programs. If Ace had failed to include these costs, it would have incorrectly calculated an expected value of $804,000, chosen to implement the system, and actually destroyed value.
Although expected values were necessary, they weren't sufficient for the final decision. Several other considerations, including the number of retained customers and fairness to loyal patrons, proved crucial as Todd weighed Ace's options.
It was nothing if not ambitious. In January 2001, fast-food giant McDonald's launched a five-year, $1 billion initiative to overhaul its information systems to enhance customer service at its more than 30,000 restaurants around the world. The vast effort, dubbed "Innovate," involved installing a new, Internet-based data management infrastructure for the company that would cover everything from electronic links with suppliers to software for tracking customer purchasing patterns to sensors for remotely monitoring the temperature of fat in french-fry vats. The company believed that once the new systems were in place, it would be able to scrutinize every detail of its business in real time, ensuring that each outlet fine-tuned its operation to serve customers flawlessly.
But just two years after Innovate's launch, a new CEO, Jim Cantalupo, pulled the plug on the project, announcing that McDonald's would take a $170 million write-off related to the termination of the initiative. Facing financial pressures and an eroding stock price, Cantalupo (who died suddenly a year later in April 2004) determined that, to revitalize itself, McDonald's needed to focus on two priorities: customers and existing restaurants. The massive IT program simply would not deliver enough improvements in those areas to justify the enormous expense and operational disruptions it presented.
McDonald's might be an extreme example—billion-dollar IT initiatives remain rare—but it also offers encouraging news. After disbanding the Innovate initiative, the company launched a series of more modest CRM efforts—such as installing touch screen–ordering systems and improving a customer service hotline—aimed at solving particular customer relationship problems. These highly targeted efforts have contributed to a resurgence in sales and profits.

Twittering Birds Never Fly #6 Kou Yoneda June (it's been a long wait...)
Blue Period #5 Tsubasa Yamaguchi Kodansha (review to follow) - the second half of Episode 8 of the anime is based on the first chapter of #5 [Stroke 17] so we're nearly all caught up now.
Toilet-bound Hanako-kun volume 11 - Things are getting very interesting in the plot recently, looking forward to seeing where volume 12 takes us!
Eromanga Sensei volume 8 (JP)
Hell Mode: The Hardcore Gamer Dominates in Another World with Garbage Balancing volume 2 (LN)
If I Could Reach You vol 1
Crushing hard.
Was reading the first volume to check if I wanted to get the next volume and I think I will, although as I have 5 volumes already and I've just found out there's 7 in total I probably would have continued even if it was middling.

Been reading the Saga of Tanya the evil manga and it's striking how different it is from the LN and anime. I've seen the anime and movie. I've read through the currently released 8 LNs and currently on vol 4 of the manga.
Some of the biggest changes is that all political imagery and war overview is drawn in propaganda style instead of realistic, where each side is drawn as anthropomorphised stereotypical animals instead of humans.
Tanya's magic is also more akin to DBZ character and can just shoot out energy beams or slice people in half with her bares hands, doesn't even use a gun.
Also Tanya acts a lot more cute and girly, with plenty smiling faces and even flowery imagery.
At first I was initially put off by the differences, but I'm glad they exist as it makes it a completely unique experience rather than just rereading the same exact story.

I've been reading Summit of the Gods and all I have to say is wow, I'm not finished yet and it's already one of the greatest manga I've ever read. I never see any talk of this whatsoever and it has to be one of the most underrated manga (in English), maybe that's just because the publisher is a pretty obscure one... but I urge you to pick this up. It's so great that I don't even feel like I can compare it to anything, it just stands up in a league of it's own.
The artwork is breathtaking, the story and characters and the way their stories weave together is masterful. You can tell that it was originally written as a novel because wow the writing is incredible, it's like the pairing of an incredible artist and writer together to make something that's truly excellent. It's the type of story you just can't put down, you feel immersed and the characters feel truly real.
The story is raw, human and real to the point where I really do feel like I'm reading a real life account. It makes you feel deeply in the scene there with the characters, there are times where it made me so emotional that I cried. It makes you contemplate the vastness and brutality aswell as the beauty of this world we live in. It makes you want to pursue to reach the greatest heights, while also grounding you to reality, there are no miracles here only your own determination and what you make of it. Most importantly, it makes you feel. This manga is a true hidden gem.
I was drawn to this one when I saw the covers. Despite my bias for light and fluffy stories, I also enjoy realism, raw stories and topics of human determination. This story delivered so much more than I had expected. It's rare I feel like writing about my reads lately admittedly but for this one I just wanted to come here and spread the good word of it.

Houkago no Goumon ch 106 - 107
Received my first ever pre-order manga, Who Wants to Marry A Billionaire?
Before ordering this I had been pretty excited about it so I had looked at the genres online and such. And... nothing prepared me for what it actually was like, lol.
I want to be clear first and state that I enjoyed this and will be buying the rest. But boy, I have never felt catfished by a manga before now!
The impression I got from the description, cover images and genres I read online... this would be a fun, lewd manga. I expected some lighthearted lewdness and that's all I really wanted. Seven Seas listed it as "Drama, Harem" under genres. Yes it had the "drama" genre but that just means drama between contestants, right? Nothing big, they are competing over a guy afterall so there should be some drama moments...
The cover and back cover lined up with that image too when I got it.
All of that was quickly shattered however when it takes twist and turn and surprises you over and over. It is VERY intense and left me wanting more, it just isn't what I thought I signed up for! I'm happy with it but the cover and description are very misleading imho I can see how some people might not take it as well as I did.

The Magician Who Rose From Failure volume 4 (LN) - Caught up with the Japanese releases now, not been one for a bit so I hope we don't end up with it going unfinished like the authors other series The Magic in This World Is Too Far Behind. :<
Black Summoner volume 7 (LN)
Bungo Stray Dogs: Beast volume 2 - Still enjoying this one as far as Bungo spin-offs go, although I imagine volume 3 will be the end of it given how far through the story we've gotten. Maybe vol 4 at most.
Momo Oni (One-shot, JP)
The Girl I Saved on the Train Turned Out to Be My Childhood Friend volume 1 (LN)
Yozakura Quartet volumes 12-13
Noragami volume 23 - This one feels like it barely comes out anymore, but when it does it's always fantastic! Quite a few plot twists in this one that I'm looking forward to watching play out in the books to come.
Astra Lost in Space volume 3
With a Dog and a Cat, Every Day is Fun! volume 6
I Married My Best Friend to Shut My Parents Up (complete)
A short and sweet yuri story about an OL and her friend, who was her kouhai at school, who suggests they get "married" to stop the OL's parents from bugging her about finding a man.
Due to circumstances the kouhai moves in and gradually the OL falls in love with her. There's a slight awkward feeling that the kouhai, who has liked her friend since school used the situation to finally get what she wants, but the OL does genuinely seem more pleased with life now she's accepted someone into her life in such a way as she seemed to be drifting along in life beforehand.
It's probably a bit too short, 3 chapters plus a short bonus chapter, to really get a good feeling for the characters, but I enjoyed it enough.
There's also a one shot about 2 high schoolers in a school renowned for athletics. One has always lost to the other and is a little obsessed with her, whilst the other struggles to stay at the top. It was OK, but definitely not as good as the main story.
Reactions: WMD
My Hero Academia School Briefs 4
Another fun entry. I really like that these books give more of a spotlight to side characters.
Also read a load of comic form Kickstarters. Buuza vol3 was especially good. Set in an alternate middle east with a fantasy twist and a bunch of lgbt+ characters that adds a really interesting side to the character stories.
WMD said:
That sounds really cool I wish I could find the time to read it XP
Suppose a Kid from the Last Dungeon Boonies Moved to a Starter Town volume 5
A School Frozen in Time volume 4 (Complete)
In Another World with my Smartphone volume 24 (LN) - Another volume of nothing really happening...
How a Realist Hero Rebuilt the Kingdom volume 15 (LN)
Yagi the Bookshop Goat (complete)
Astra Lost in Space volumes 4-5 (complete) - Had a blast revisiting this one through the original manga. Also showed how good an anime adaptation it had since basically nothing got left out or removed.
Altina the Sword Princess volume 12 (LN)
Bootsleg volume 2 (JP) - All caught up now, which pains me since the series is released very slowly. Hopefully there will be a volume 3 toward the end of 2022 because I sure am a huge fan of this one already.
Just read volume 1 of one of Seven Seas' newest releases, The Savior's Book Cafe Story in Another World.
This one is an isekai. Among all the genres I'd say I'm least interested in isekai, harems and horror. But there are always exceptions and what caught my eye about this one was that it is a josei, a really underrepresented demographic among English published manga and it also had these lovely romantic vibes to it. I decided to pre-order as I like to support Seven Seas' releases, I love how they pick up so many smaller less hyped series that are hidden gems.
What exactly is my problem with isekai? Well, I don't mean to stereotype the whole genre as it is quite broad and diverse, but generally I am not a fan of the cliche "I've been sucked into an RPG and now I'm super strong and I have hot women in my party who adore me"... it feels a little like the fantasy of a teenage boy, perhaps because they are usually the intended audience. It doesn't appeal to me. This one takes a different direction and appeals instead to the fantasy of an adult woman who likes quietly enjoying her hobbies and reading - for me, much more relatable.
This one delivered what I expected from it but I enjoyed it even more than I thought I would. It has these dreamy, romantic vibes and the artwork is very soft and pleasant to look at. I found the protagonist very relatable and far from typical, a pleasure to read. It left with our protagonist in a dilemma so I'm very much interested to see what happens next and I hope it doesn't affect her comfy lifestyle too much. From the upcoming covers and what we've seen so far, I'm sensing that it will go in a romance direction and I'm hoping that it will. I'll definitely be picking up the next volume!
I recommend this one to people who like light and dreamy manga, particularly the type written for women. If you don't enjoy the typical isekai like me, this one might be for you.

A School Frozen In Time
Really great little story this. The set up and mystery are really well presented the horror vibes are really well done. At the start of the final reveal I thought I knew it! It seemed very obvious but as it all unfolded there were still some surprises along the way which really elevated the whole thing for me. Suicide is a major part of the story from the first page so may be triggering for some but it was a very good manga and only 4 volumes to tell a complete story.
Therapy Game Restart Volume 1 Meguru Hinohara SuBLime
My Summer of You Volume 2: The Summer of You Nagisa Furuya Kodansha (recommended)
The Two Lions Nagisa Furuya Seven Seas (also recommended!)
My Boy Volume 8 by Hitomi Takano Vertical
The Witch and the Beast Volume 7 by Kousuke Satake Kodansha
Hitorijime Boyfriend by Memeco Arii Kodansha (the prequel)
Reviews will (eventually) follow - and I'm sure more of these will be recommended when I've finished them!
(Mostly reading manga in French, as always, and some great new titles there as well as the penultimate volume (27) of Karneval.)
Ended up reading a lot while I was under the weather after my booster on Tuesday...
That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime volume 18 - Almost through the content of the last anime season.
Can Someone Please Explain What's Going On?! volume 8 (LN)
Slayers volume 12 (LN)
Our Bodies, Entwining, Entwined volume 2 - Still enjoying this one but did have an oddity with the translation where they'd chosen to use "sheerly", which is a word I have never heard in my life so I had to work out both what it meant and why it was being used in a modern-day slice of life setting. I remain unconvinced that it was a good choice for the scene/character.
The Splendid Work of a Monster Maid volume 1
The Emperor's Lady-in-Waiting is Wanted as a Bride volume 3
My Next Life as a Villainess: All Routes Lead to Doom volume 10 (LN) - All caught up to the JP releases now, if it continues down this path it might wrap up soonish.
I am a Cat Barista volume 1
Uwasa no Saiki wa Kare to Koi ga Suitai volume 1 (complete, JP)
The Great Cleric volume 6 (LN)
Endo and Kobayashi Live! The Latest on Tsundere Villainess Lieselotte volume 2 (LN, complete) - Nice to have a series that wraps up in a couple of volumes and doesn't feel like it got cut off early. Not the most amazing series out there but certainly a whole lot of fun if you're into the villainess trend at the moment.
Nice to see some positive thoughts on this one! I've been excited for it since Seven Seas licensed it, but I haven't picked it up yet since it went on my Christmas list instead. I admit I don't mind isekai (as you'll probably have noticed from my posts in this thread/my reviews) so that wasn't ever going to be an issue for me, but I'm glad that it fits well with the story here regardless.
Yes, I loved it and would definitely recommend it! It's not that I have something against isekai on a whole, I just tend to be picky and go for the atypical ones. Same with harems and horror, they also exist in my collection but I'm very picky. Reincarnated as a Slime however does also take my interest, I see you mentioned it, that one looks pretty fun.
The protagonist in particular was lovely to see. She has this gentle, peaceful personality which I love. It seems like a trend to always make female protagonists fiesty (which I tolerate but I don't love) but I much prefer to see a softer female protagonist (who is still strong, as she has strong magic!). I would love to see more like this.
Gamer girl.
Checked to see how long ago the anime was. It was 3 and a half years ago already. Still remember the opening chapter and the Bloody Butterfly chapter, but had forgotten the rest.
Whoops forgot to press Post on this the other day
Posing.

Each evening is unique in that we ask chefs to create a menu that is entirely their creation – from elegant seven-course dinners to chocolate beer, concretes and burgers! All proceeds from the event go to the SF-Marin Food Bank. In 2017, we helped to raise over 65,000 meals.
The dates are December 2nd through 13th, and we'll be hosting all of the nights, with exception of movie night, in a beautiful loft space on the second floor of our soon to open chocolate factory on 16th and Alabama Street. Our annual Willy Wonka movie night will take place at our Valencia café.

African court rules that Victoire Ingabire did not receive a fair...
In 2010, Victoire Ingabire attempted to run for president against Rwanda's Paul Kagame, but went to prison instead. The Rwandan Supreme Court ultimately sentenced her to 15 years. On Nov. 24, the African Court of Human and People's Rights ruled that she did not receive a fair trial, that she had not denied or minimized the Tutsi genocide, and that her criticism of the government should have been allowed as part of her freedom of expression within Rwandan law.
Judicial sovereignty: Victoire Ingabire and the African Court
Friends and supporters of Rwandan political prisoner Victoire Ingabire are still waiting for the African Court on Human and Peoples' Rights to rule on her appeal. In 2010, Victoire attempted to run for president against military dictator Paul Kagame and went to prison instead. Many Rwandans describe their country as a tinderbox, an earthquake fault, or a smoldering volcano because of its brutal oligarchy, unresolved ethnic polarization, and repressed memories of violence and loss.
Dr. Leopold Munyakazi deported to Rwanda
Dr. Léopold Munyakazi was deported to Rwanda early this morning. The linguist, scholar and former French professor at Goucher College was arrested shortly after giving several lectures at Northeastern University college campuses in which he said that the Rwandan war of the 1990s was a class conflict, not an ethnic conflict, and that it was therefore incorrectly characterized as genocide.
Unworthy victims: Houthis and Hutus
Last week the U.S. helped its Saudi pals bomb another hospital and school in Yemen. Don't imagine that its intentions are any more humanitarian in Burundi just because they're not selling fighter bomber jets and guided bombs to their pal Paul Kagame, Rwanda's president for life. Kagame is intent on bringing down President Pierre Nkurunziza's government in Burundi, as Saudi sheikhs are intent on bringing down the Houthi government in Yemen.
Rwandan prisoner Victoire Ingabire takes case against Rwandan regime to international...
After becoming the leader of the Rwandan Diaspora's opposition to the authoritarian regime of Rwandan President Paul Kagame, Victoire Ingabire returned to Rwanda to run against him in the 2010 election. She was instead placed under house arrest shortly after her return and is now serving a 15 year sentence. This week the African Court of Human and People's Rights agreed to hear her case on appeal, in Arusha, Tanzania.
