Transgender People In The Media - Media Transphobia and Proper Reporting Standards
Gender Dysphoria is a serious medical condition that causes a person to identify in every way possible with the physical sex opposite of what they were born. Past oversimplified terminology that has been quite well-meaning has said "trans persons were simply born in the wrong body". In this day and age, we now know more about this condition than we did in decades past.Up until recent times, just like homosexuality, the clinical working group at the American Psychiatric Association thought that trans persons were suffering from a serious mental illness. The APA has reviewed the evidence for and against this thinking, and has come to the conclusion that no such empirical evidence exists to support the notion that trans persons are mentally ill at all. The 5th generation of the APA diagnostic and statistical manual of mental disorders will list Gender Dysphoria only as a medical problem, not as a mental illness.
This author once worked for a transgender radio station Director who was born female, but identifies as a male, this is known as a trans*male or transman. Someone who was born male, but identifies as a female is properly called a trans*woman or transwoman. My experience working for a trans*man happened at a Canadian station and was quite literally the best experience I have ever had, and the station Director was a pleasure to work with and work for! Jules Sherred runs a rather creative, fun, and well known station called "The Look 24/7". Jules openly identifies as transgender.
Shortwave America originally had an audio show planned on this topic, but, that will come at a later time. At one time or another, all of us have either seen or heard a trans person on TV or on the radio. There are even transgender amateur radio operators! The Rainbow Amateur Radio Association supports LGBT persons and helps provide a sense of community, advocacy, and fosters an environment whereby LGBT amateur radio operators and their supporters can enjoy the science of communications. Like other radio clubs, RARA offers operating awards to those licensed amateur operators who meet the criteria for those awards.
Do You Have a Male or Female Brain?
Dr. Daphna Joel, Ph.d., has performed groundbreaking research that shows us the difference between sex and gender, and how the brain is structured in regards to sex and gender. Professor Joel received her Ph.D. in psychology in Tel-Aviv University, and joined the faculty of TAU in 1998. Prof. Joel is presently the head of the Psychobiology graduate program at the School of Psychological Sciences, and a member of the Sagol School of Neuroscience.
Prof. Joel's research interests focus on understanding the involvement of basal ganglia-thalamocortical circuits in normal and abnormal behavior, using mainly animal models of psychopathology. More recently Prof. Joel has expanded her work to research questions related to brain, sex and gender, and in particular the complex interplay between sex and environment in the development of psychopathology.
Dr. Joel and other medical, psychiatric, and psychological researchers have shown us that a person can be born with what we see as either male or female anatomy, but there IS a difference between what we see and how a person is really born in regards to the separation of sex and gender, in that gender is in the brain, not the genitalia. Physical sex is only what we see, not how we experience gender. Biological chromosomes can be any combination of xx, xy, xxx, xxy, etc. While a person's genes may say they are male or female, biology science is striving to find out why someone born with what can only be explained as typically male or female chromosomes can literally NOT be either of these designations. Dr. Joel's research is one of many other discoveries that has paved the way for more studies to be done.
Recent Wave of Transphobia At Radio Stations
On June 5th, 2013, the Sacramento Press reported on an incident that occurred at KRXQ Radio 98.5FM, also known as "98Rock", During a May 28th, 2013 discussion, show presenters Rob Williams and Arnie States read from a news article describing a male child in another state as being permitted to enroll in school as a female. States said he would harm his son if ever he found out his son identified as trans, and as the show went on, Williams and States took calls from listeners during which they bashed trans people with different slurs, accusing trans people of being attention seekers.
Their third presenter on the show, Dawn Rossi, because disgusted and attempted to accurately educate her show co-workers on what it means to be transgender, saying, "Those that really have this, it is a struggle for them! It is heart-wrenching for them! They have always felt like a different sex! And they've never felt like themselves." Here is the audio from this show.
The two male halves of this show only defended their behavior and their on-air dialogue, never publicly acknowledging the harm they did. In response to the duo's refusal to act in a civilized manner and to hold themselves responsible for dangerous conduct, the following happened:
"While it was heartening for us to hear that Rob Williams and Arnie States did not advocate for violence against children," GLAAD reported on their blog, "they also did not hold themselves accountable for their dehumanizing and defamatory words used to describe transgender children in last week's show."
That didn't sit well with advertisers either. Shortly after Wednesday's show aired, the Dr. Pepper Snapple Group wrote an e-mail to GLAAD announcing they were pulling their advertisement-based support for KRXQ. "We found the segment to be offensive," a statement released by the Dr. Pepper Snapple Group read, "and as a result, we are pulling our Snapple advertising from the station."
This show has paid FCC fines in the past for "On-Air Indecency" in 2004, the show was fined $55,000.
Also on June 5th, 2013, Trans Advocate reported on a story originating on the SirusXM Satellite Radio provider Martine Rothblatt, a publicly "out" transwoman, bought XM satellite radio in 2008 and re-named it as SiriusXM. A show called "Lex and Terry" aired a segment during which they openly advocated for the cold-blooded murder of trans persons in their version of a defense for "Trans Panic". On Friday (06/03/2013), the Lex and Terry show began discussing this issue saying, There's a teen that shot a tranny after finding out that it was a man after they had a little sexual encounter. A co-host responded, I don't blame him. I would have shot his ass too.
Here is the audio from that show:
This show segment was badly timed, as there have recently been two violent hate incidents against two different transwomen, Coco McDonald and Ms. Victor Diego. Both of these women were attacked violently only for living in their true gender and sex.
Just prior to these incidents, Ramblin' Ray Stevens and his co-presenter, Lisa Dent were heard by their listeners on April 29th, 2013 going on an anti-trans rant during which Lisa Dent said she would "never allow" her child walk around the house in her heels, while claiming to be old fashioned. This rant was in response to public panic and false charges of child harm over Celine Dion disclosing that her 2 year old son loves to play around the house in her high heel shoes.
Lucy Meadows and the Print Media Fisaco - Coroner Shames Media For Lucy's Death
Lucy Meadows was a School Teacher in the U.K. when she was introduced by way of a formal letter from her school to the parents and families of her school. The letter was clear that Lucy underwent a gender transition to include gender re-assignment surgery. "Mr Upton has recently made a significant change in his life and will be transitioning to live as a woman," wrote the head, Karen Hardman, in a letter that made headlines in the national press. Mr. Littlejohn, a reporter at the U.K. Daily Mail, ran with the story with great irresponsible fervor, creating what has been known as nothing short of character assassination. Lucy Meadows committed suicide, and a U.K. Coroner's Inquest found great evidence of shameful behavior by the media in Lucy's case. The coroner literally shamed the media in public. Shortly after Lucy's death, the town turned against the media with great anger.
Proper Reporting Rules For Transgender News Coverage
The Associated Press maintains a Style Book that lays out the proper reporting guidelines to follow when reporting on various subjects. Transgender issues and the people that experience them are: trans identified persons, their friends, families, co-workers, fellow students, teachers / professors, etc.
The open transphobia in the media is one trigger that moves people with pre-existing culpability and prejudices towards murdering trans persons. When trans persons are violently attacked or murdered, they can be doubly victimized. GLAAD has this resource that gives all of us reporters an easy way to understand HOW to properly report on trans victims of crime, and can even be used to conduct common-sense everyday reportage of trans persons in the media spotlight.
Recent Television Coverage
Society is becoming more and more educated in these times, and this has led to schools and even private family homes like yours or anyone else's, becoming even more supportive and attentive to their children. We now know that being born transgender is not uncommon and not unheard of. Katie Couric did a show this year that explored the lives of children who transitioned genders prior to their 18th birthdays.
International Media and Transgender Journalists
International Media Organization, Bianet, printed a piece about Turkey's FIRST Transgender Television reporter. "Activism is not only about demonstrating on the street. It is important to show that 'others' are also capable of doing meaningful things. Therefore, I am marching with my flag in the hand," Michelle Demishevich, Turkey's first trans television reporter, told bianet.
Michelle Demishevich
Eden Lane is a reporter for her own show, called, "In Focus With Eden Lane"
Eden Lane
The Huffington Post published an article about Eden, called, "Eden Lane, Transgender Broadcast Journalist, Discusses Her Career, Being A Role Model And More"
The ABC News Corporation recently saw the gender transition of their long-time reporter, Don Ennis from male to female, and now Don is Dawn. This article by Business Insider tells the basic details.
Dawn Ennis
"Today I begin anew," she begins. "Please understand: This is not a game of dress-up, or make-believe. It is my affirmation of who I now am and what I must do to be happy, in response to a soul-crushing secret that my wife and I have been dealing with for more than seven years, mostly in secret." - Dawn Ennis
The story told by sports reporter, Bobbie Dittmeier, about her transition from male to female is not a rare set of details to hear. Resources for those transitioning gender are not abundant, and those with a public spotlight on them face even harsher circumstances. The fact is that it is not uncommon for ANY trans person to attempt gender transition more than once, and finally be successful.
Bobbie with her friend, Beth
Here is a quote from Bobbie:
"I think things are a lot different than when I first attempted [ the transition ] 15 years ago," Dittmeier said. "I think the younger generation has less of a hang-up with things. I work with a lot of younger people, people in their 20s, and to my knowledge, [ being transgender ] has never been an issue."
Dittmeier and sportswriter Christina Kahrl, of Chicago, are the only two transgender sports journalists in the U.S.
Bobbie also says:
"People here have been very nice overall, but they don't fully accept me," said Dittmeier. She noted that many locals still call her Bob and use male pronouns when talking to, and about, her. "That doesn't particularly bother me, but it is a reminder," she said.
"One of my great disappointments, one of the definite things that I've learned since I've transitioned, is how little everyone else really wants to know about it. They don't ask questions. My family doesn't even ask questions."
Shezow
Shezow is a cartoon series that has aired in Canada and Australia. The protagonist is a male child who cleverly turns into a female superhero. Comics Alliance has this piece on Shezow to introduce the U.S. public to the show concept. Comics Alliance says "Created by Obie Scott Wade, SheZow is the story of Guy Hamdon, a young kid who inadvertently takes on the mantle of his late aunt's celebrated superhero alter ego. Some in the media have dubbed it a "transgender" kids' show, because some in the media like to use transgenderism to try to provoke outrage regardless of the social cost, but as it happens SheZow is not about transgenderism at all. Guy is a boy who takes on a female cover identity. He does not become female. He does not identify himself as female. Crucially, he does not want to be female. He is defintively not transgender; he is, in his own words, a dude. He's a dude whose superhero identity has long hair and a skirt. Like Thor."
Media Reactions From The Far Right
Far right, religious, political groups such as "One Million Moms", who have much less than one million members, have knowingly parroted misinformation that is meant to stigmatize and shame those with a valid medical condition. Recently, O.M.M. went so far as to label gender dysphoria and gender confusion as a "sin" even though they privately realize, but will not publicly acknowledge that their beliefs should never be pushed on others or used to persuade the media from accurate reportage on transgender issues. The O.M.M. organization also realizes but will not publicly acknowledge that there is a conflict between their beliefs and what hard science shows us.
Their line follows that of the scientifically discredited repairative therapy. Here is that quote directly from the organization: "Thousands of Christian counselors and pastors are available all across the country to help anyone who is struggling with any kind of sin including homosexuality, gender identity disorder, gender confusion or gender dysphoria." We have yet to actually see ONE confirmed medical problem that has been done away with by practice of religion. There are simply no confirmed reports of this happening.
Shortwave America went looking for any scripture that says anything about these issues being "sinful" just to be fair in this piece. When all the religious material is examined properly in its context, there are no such references to these medical problems as sin. What this proves, combined with the above statement from Comics Alliance is that far right groups such as O.M.M. are creating harmful propaganda that is fueling violence.
Proper Reporting On The Gender Spectrum
Many people conflate being transgender with being gay or lesbian, also as seen with almost every case of bi-phobia and inaccurate comments on bisexuality, transgender people are NOT confused, and most trans people are straight. That is the vast majority of transmen are attracted to females, and the vast majority of transwomen are attracted to men. As highlighted above, GLAAD has a reference and the A.P. has a style book that tells reporters proper guidelines for gender spectrum reporting.
When reporting about gay, lesbian, and bisexual people, it is important to remember that scientific advances have been made, and we know more today than we did a long time ago. Scientists have found epigenetic factors that may possibly be the "switch" that tells a person that they are gay. This is mentioned here to help separate sexual orientation from gender identity. As shown above in the section featuring Dr. Daphna Joel, sex and gender are separate from each other. This means that sexual orientation and gender identity are also separate.
Transman = male pronouns: he, his, etc.
Transwoman = female pronouns: she, her, her's, etc.
Transgender names: the name a trans person uses IS his or her real name. Their birth name is of no concern to anyone for any reason.
Anatomy questions: Would you like it if someone asked you about YOUR genitalia? So, don't do it to a trans person!
Surgical status: again, none of anyone's business unless the trans person voluntarily discloses such, and even then, you keep it to yourself! Not every trans person wants or needs surgery. Some trans persons want and / or need surgery, but cannot have it for a long list of reasons mostly involving cost or medical problems that stand in their way.
Hormone treatment: again, none of anyone's business. Some trans people don't want or cannot have chemicals for a long list of reasons.
Is it ok to talk about a trans person's past life in an article, audio, or video piece? The short answer is NO!
Is it ok to ask sexual questions, such as: well, how do you have sex? NO! Reporters do NOT ask these questions, it isn't any of your business!

At Hornsby Dental Clinic, we have a simple philosophy, which is to provide quality dental care, in a friendly and caring manner, at a good price point, to ensure that our patients receive value for money.
Hornsby Dental Clinic is also a Network provider with Australia's major health funds, being Medibank Private and BUPA. The benefit you receive is that if you are a member, you should be able to maximise your health fund dental benefits. (please speak with your health fund if you have any specific questions about your particular health fund cover).
We have a team of over 5 dentists and 5 support staff to take care of all your dental health needs.
Welcome to Hornsby Dental Clinic, our practice focuses on you and your smile. We are located at Edgeworth David Ave, 2 minutes from Hornsby Westfield Shopping Mall.
I graduated from the University of Otago, New Zealand, in 2005. After gaining experience and having received mentoring in several different dental practices, I decided to begin a surgery of my own in Hornsby, near the edge of Waitara. I looked around a lot of suburbs, and found Hornsby to be a great location.
I strongly believe in continuing education in any profession. My main interest in professional development in the past few years has been with restorative dentistry involving aesthetic restorations, dental materials research, and implant restorations. I maintain an active account with several prominent overseas research institutes to keep me updated of the material research and treatment modalities. At present, I am also studying towards a Masters in Aesthetic Dentistry by distance learning at Kings College London.
Outside of Dentistry, family is very important to me, especially having two young children keeps me pretty busy on weekends.
Feedback from my patients is that I am a kind, considerate and gentle dentist within the community and have had many referrals to me through my existing patients. I have a wide depth of experience in many facets of dentistry ranging from simple restorative, endodontics, periodontics to more complex crown and bridge work.
I am a firm believer in continuing education and believe it is important for a dentist to have the most up to date knowledge of materials and procedures to provide patients with optimal dental care, thus I regularly attend conferences, seminars and the like to be able to offer my patients the best clinical practice dentistry. I also have a bachelor degree in medical laboratory science, graduating with distinction, majoring in both pharmacology and haematology. This knowledge has helped me develop a more holistic approach to patient care. We would like to hear from you.
Outside of work, I have three young boys which also keeps me busy trying to keep up with them.
If you would like more information on Hornsby Dental Clinic or how we can help create and keep your smile looking great please contact us.
I am thorough in treatment planning and I enjoy providing treatment for gum disease. I am meticulous when it comes to my restorative, endodontic and prosthodontic clinical work, as I would want my own dentist to do the same when performing treatment on me.
Outside of dentistry, I try living life to the fullest. I enjoy the adrenaline rush with bungy jumping, sky diving, canyoning, abseiling and numerous other random physical challenges. On the flip side spending time with family, friends, eating well, travelling and learning new things are equally rewarding.
He believes in providing a friendly and comfortable dental experience to all patients. Prioritising the patients' health and well-being first and working together to achieve a healthy smile is of utmost importance.
Outside of the dental clinic, Richard enjoys many sporting activities, soaking up the sun at the beach, trekking along scenic walks, as well as indulging on good food with friends.
Take a Tour of North Sydney Dental – (coming soon!). Watch the Video below…for our Hornsby practice.


Tampa, FL – The Florida Aquarium officially opened its $4.1 million Sea Turtle Rehabilitation Center in Apollo Beach today. The two story, 19,000-square-foot center features five different rehabilitation pools including one of the state's deepest turtle-exclusive dive pool with observation window.
The pools at the new care center range in size from 1,500 to 25,000-gallons. The sea turtle dive pool, which reaches a depth of 11-feet, will be used to assess buoyancy issues, swim conditioning and food trials before turtles are cleared by FWC to be returned back into the wild.
The center also includes a state-of-the-art sea turtle surgery suite.
"We believe we have a responsibility to be good stewards of our environment and the animals that depend on it, and this investment will only help us further our mission of protecting and restoring our fragile Blue Planet," Germann added.
The Sea Turtle Rehabilitation Center was made possible through a unique public-private partnership consisting of groups who all shared the same common goal of working to achieve and maintain healthy sea turtle populations. The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC), contributed $3 million, The Spurlino Foundation and others donated $690,000, The Florida Aquarium contributed more than $400,000 and TECO Energy helped make the center a reality through a generous land use agreement.
The Florida Aquarium's Animal Response Team, that manages sea turtle rescue, rehabilitation and release efforts, has recently been expanded, thanks to a $250,000 grant from Florida Blue.
Since opening its door, The Florida Aquarium has helped rescue and rehab more than 150 threatened or endangered turtles. The Sea Turtle Rehabilitation Center will only ensure that number grows.
Roughly 90% of all sea turtle nesting in the United States takes place on Florida's beaches.
There are seven different species of sea turtles including Flatback, Green, Hawksbill, Kemp's Ridley, Leatherback, Loggerhead and Olive Ridley.
Of the six sea turtle species found in U.S. waters or that nest on U.S. Beaches, all are designated as either threatened or endangered.
Some sea turtles can live up to 50-years or longer.
Leatherback sea turtles can travel more than 10,000 miles every year.
Green sea turtles can stay underwater for up to five hours.
The Florida Aquarium is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit institution whose mission is to entertain, educate andinspire stewardship about our natural environment. It has been voted a Top 3 Aquarium in North America by the readers of USA Today (May 2018), it's earned a Trip Advisor Hall of Fame Rating (2018). The Florida Aquarium has also earned a 4-Star rating from Charity Navigator and been awarded a platinum rating from GuideStar.

Gun Girls of CPAC – Killing the Stereotype
Posted by Tony Oliva on Mar 10, 2014 in America, Email Featured, Featured, Real tales of self defense, video | 3 comments
Gun controllers and gun grabbers of the intolerant left have long tried to promote this idea that gun owners are a fraternal order of good ole boys. That ALL gun owners can be encapsulated in a caricature of being a bunch of old fat white guys.
Nothing could be further from the truth. Personal protection, freedom from tyranny; these are sentiments that translate regardless of age, gender or color.
Gallup Polling has been tracking guns trends and women have skyrocketed in recent years in terms of gun ownership and concealed weapons permit applications. After all, why wouldn't they? Most women in their right mind realize that they don't need to be a victim or helpless in order to be a feminine woman.
Only liberal mouth breathing troglodytes who hate guns think that it is morally superior for women to be raped and murdered than to fire a gun in their own self defense.

I put the above picture up instead of the meme because I wanted to show an actual photo of their page to dispel any naysaying liberal apologists that claim the Brady Campaign never actually made that meme and put it on their Facebook page.
Anyways, back to women who roar.
As I was taking a shuttle to the convention center that was holding CPAC, a young woman struck up a conversation with me when she saw my media credentials. When you have something that says "Bullets First" on it, gun owners tend to take notice. While on the ride to the National Harbor in Maryland she told me the story of how she got involved in firearms and what the right to keep and bear arms meant to her.
Now, while I am used to women gun owners I began to think of all the stereotypes the gun controllers like to spew forth. So I decided to document gun owners at CPAC who did not fit the stereotype. Once I got rolling though the project took on a life of its own. Not only gun carriers but those who will soon be carrying, those who are denied their self protection by school or state, wanted to say their peace…so I let them.
Unfortunately my auxiliary microphone was broken on the trip to DC so some ambient background noise was captured and I had to cut out parts where it was overwhelming.
While I had to do some editing else the video would be an hour long, the one thing that remained constant throughout the interviews was that these strong, fierce women, fully reject the notion that it is somehow feminine to be victims. They take personal responsibility for their own protection and the defense of their own liberty.
Some were hunters from 9 years old, others started carrying handguns when they were in college through friends. While their age and paths to the 2nd Amendment differed, all shared the want of having the ability to protect their liberty that only the keeping and bearing of arms ensures.
I would like to thank again all those who participated. While a few among the girls were bloggers or a reality TV star (did you notice Jessa Duggar in the mix?) the vast majority of these women were just regular folks, yet all of them are just people who want to live their lives in peace and safety.
And they are growing in number.
No wonder gun controllers would rather pretend that they don't exist.

Disenrollment is the process to end your membership in our plan. You can disenroll or your membership may be ended involuntarily for specific reasons shown below.
In most cases, you can leave our plan by enrolling in another health plan during an available election period. Any member can disenroll during the Medicare Advantage Open Enrollment Period from January 1 – March 31 to return to original Medicare, or join another Medicare Advantage plan. If you want to switch from one of our plans including prescription drug coverage to original Medicare, which does not have a prescription drug plan, contact Vibra Health Plan Member Services and ask to be disenrolled. Or, call Medicare at 800.633.4227, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. TTY users should call 877.486.2048.
Note: If you disenroll from Medicare prescription drug coverage and do not have creditable prescription drug coverage, you may need to pay a late enrollment penalty if you join a Medicare drug plan. Creditable coverage means coverage that is expected to pay at least as much as Medicare's standard prescription drug coverage, on average.
If you move out of our service area or are gone from it for more than six consecutive months, or if we no longer offer the plan in your geographic area, you will be disenrolled and return to original Medicare. If you qualify for a Special Enrollment Period, you can choose a new plan.
If you do not pay your plan premium or any late enrollment penalty for more than two calendar months, you could be disenrolled and return to original Medicare. If you qualify for a Special Enrollment Period, you can choose a new plan.

As part of a database tuning effort you increase the SGA/PGA sizes; and Oracle greets with anORA-27102: out of memoryerror message. The system had enough free memory to serve the needs of Oracle.
27102, 00000, "out of memory"
Not so helpful. Let's look the alert log for some clues.
Oracle is trying to create a 10G shared memory segment (depends on SGA/PGA sizes), but operating system (Solaris in this example) responded with an invalid argument (EINVAL) error message. There is a little hint about setting shm parameters in/etc/system.
Now it is clear that the system is using the default value of 8G in this scenario, where as the application (Oracle) is trying to create a memory segment (10G) larger than 8G. Hence the failure.
So, the solution is to configure the system with a value large enough for the shared segment being created, so Oracle succeeds in starting up the database instance.
On Solaris 9 and prior releases, it can be done by adding the following line to/etc/system, followed by a reboot for the system to pick up the new value.
set shminfo_shmmax = 0x000000028a006000Howevershminfo_shmmaxparameter was obsoleted with the release of Solaris 10; and Sun doesn't recommend setting this parameter in/etc/systemeven though it works as expected.
Finally make sure the project is created withprojects -lorcat /etc/projectcommands.
With these changes, Oracle would start the database up normally.
Thanks for a great explanation, I would like to add one comment that will help those with an Oracle RAC installation. Modifying the default project covers oracle processes great and is all that is needed for a single instance DB. In RAC however, the CRS process starts the DB and it is a root owned process and root does not use the default project. To fix ORA-27102 issue for RAC I added the following lines to an init script that runs before the init.crs script fires.
So simple yet it took me a week working with Oracle and SUN to come up with that answer…Hope that helps someone out.


Continuing all the exciting AFAID 2012 reports my colleagues have brought you so far, now here comes the fourth part! For a short opening paragraph, let's wind the clock back for a bit. At nine thirty in the morning, Japanesense Crews and several of their friends had finally managed to squeezed themselves into the already too-packed Exhibition site. Looking at all the nearly possessed people going frenzy over all the stands on the ground, we immediately came to a realization: It'd be very hard to smoothly carry out our initial objective of slowly enjoying ourselves while neatly documenting everything to be brought as an offering for you dear readers.
And it was not an overstatement. It was really difficult to do both simultaneously, but somehow for the first couple of hours since the 2nd day was opened, we came up with decent documentaries. Exhausted, but still reminded of our obligation to you, the Japanesense Crews dragged their wobbling feet to the main stage to see one of the most famous cosplayers in the world, Akatsuki Tsukasa.
First impression was all you needed to be smitten by her charm. Dressed in soft white color, her appearance on the stage felt like an angel had descended upon us. Her cute smile and humble demeanor instantly soothed our tired souls that had struggled within the ever enthusiast crowd. Akatsuki Tsukasa was welcomed by the host of the first segment, and accompanied by an interpreter to kindly translate her native tongue of Mandarin into Indonesian. Right, let's move on to the interview right away!
Of course, self-introduction came first. She's Akatsuki Tsukasa, a cosplayer from Taiwan who's been in the business for 9 years. Asked what she's wearing on stage, she confidently said that she was posing as "Sheryl Nome" from Macross Frontier, and the outfit is one of Sheryl's stage outfit. This clearly hints us that it's her most favorite character. The woman clad in white then started to name her favorite anime one-by-one, among them are "One Piece", "Hakuonki", "Vocaloid" (well not really an anime but, oh well), "Kuroko no Basket" (The audiences went all kyaa~ when Tsukasa mentioned she likes "Aomine"), and of course, "Macross Frontier".
Tsukasa was first introduced to the cosplay world by one of her classmates in school. Since then she's been posing as many famous characters, and the admirable thing is, she makes most of her outfits by herself! Tsukasa also runs a studio making outfits. Usually after conducting a thorough research of the character in question, the average time needed to make one outfit would vary from 2-10 days, depending on the difficulty. Out of all materials exist, she pointed out velvet, flowery fabric and shiny materials as her favorites.
On a side note, if she's not confident with the character she's cosplaying for, or doesn't feel right about them, she'll still take a number of photos, but then will be put in as a part of her private collection and won't spread them around to public.
The interview then focused on her favorite characters, or the characters that she feels most confident to cosplay for. And the answer's obvious, Sheryl Nome. Tsukasa likes her strong and brave personalities when the usually pink-haired woman's facing problems. On the other hand, Sheryl's also outgoing, loving and absolutely attractive. Tsukasa also adds Sheryl's list of pluses by saying that she does everything she could to calm and help others even when she's in despair; even when knowing that she'll be replaced, she's still a responsible person and knew exactly what she wants the most in her life.
The next character in line, and also an opposite gender of Sheryl Nome is "Hijikata Toshizo" from Hakuonki. Tsukasa hopelessly fell in love with him after reading "Peace Maker". She loves Hijikata's life goal and spirit of self-sacrifice for the one he followed. If there's a time-machine (Perhaps she should go consult Doraemon for that kind of thing), Tsukasa would like to go back in time and meet Hijikata Toshizo in person. Wow, her love's the real deal!
Two last questions on the list, when asked who her favorite cosplayer is, Tsukasa mentioned two-names: First is the dashing "Kaname", and the second is "Leika", a famous cosplayer from Japan. To the last question of what dreams do you have, or, what do you want to do in the near future, her answer was to travel around the world and find good spots for photo shoot.
The interview session closed up and audiences were allowed to take pictures of Akatsuki Tsukasa who's kindly posing up for around five minutes before the segment came to an end. Thank you very much dear goddess, we hope you'd kindly grace us with your presence some other time!
If you'd like to get a little closer to Akatsuki Tsukasa, these addresses below might be of help.

All Who Died in 2016…
Photo by Mark Dumont
Giancarlo Diotaiuti, Photographer
As we look back on the year 2016, it's important to remember what we've gained this year. But also, it's important to remember who we lost. So here, we offer our thoughts about some of the most important people that passed away this year.
Alan Rickman (1946-2016)
2016 started off with a bang by slapping us in the face with the death of none other than the great Alan Rickman. Rickman, 69, spent most of his adult life as an actor, both on the stage and on the screen. He is best known for his role as Severus Snape in the popular Harry Potter film series adaptations. On her Twitter account, author of the Harry Potter series J. K. Rowling memorialized the actor by saying "There are no words to express how shocked and devastated I am to hear of Alan Rickman's death. He was a magnificent actor & a wonderful man."
Muhammad Ali (1942-2016)
Nicknamed "The Greatest", Muhammad Ali was tragically taken from the world in early June. Born Cassius Clay, Ali was a 3-time world champion boxer who changed the face of the sport, becoming not only a well-liked athlete but also an icon. His confidence in himself became legendary, as he said once "I am the greatest. I said that even before I knew I was." He leaves behind an inspirational legacy as one fueled by his passionate drive to be nothing short of incredible.
Harambe (1999-2016)
Arguably the greatest loss of the year was my homeboy Harambe the Gorilla. Harambe was unfortunately assassinated in the defense of a small child who was carelessly allowed to fall into Harambe's enclosure at the Cincinnati Zoo. However, the nation united in the memory of the gorilla, constantly remembering him through hilarious internet memes. This celebration of Harambe's life was not appreciated by all, as the taunts from the people eventually caused the Cincinnati Zoo to shut down their Twitter account. Rest well, Harambe, and just know that we will never stop loving you.
Or your memes.

There are several online businessmen who think that they don't need a merchant account and can easily carry out financial transaction using other payment processing option like Paypal, Authorize Net, WorldPay, No Chex, FastPay, Website Payment Pro, Barclaycard e PDQ and others. But do any of these options match up to the service quality and security offered by merchant account service providers.
The first argument favoring Merchant accounts is that it offers international transactions. Most other alternative payment options are restricted to inbound transactions. For example FastPay, No Chex and Barclaycard e PDQ can be used by British customers while Authorize Net and Website Payment Pro can only be used by people living in the United States. Then there are international processing options like Paypal and WorldPay that allow a businessman carry out international transactions. But the word international needs to be used in a limited sense, since even PayPal is not is available in not available in number of counties.
Moreover if currency conversion is involved, PayPal has its own conversion rate which it keeps changing depending on market conditions. This usually works out to about 5% more than the international bank rate.
Moreover PayPal has a notorious reputation of withholding money over due to fickle reasons causing both parties a lot of undue stress.
Customers find it very hard to get in touch with PayPal representatives as they don't give their contact numbers to their customers. But technical support staff of merchant services can be reached at all hours of the day, usually though toll free numbers.
So it's obvious that merchant accounts offer the best services at convenient prices. Now by logging on to AMS you can find out about the number of other unique advantages offered by AMS. Advanced Merchant Services not only authorize your merchant account with 24 hours but will also provide you with a free credit card terminal with each new account. AMS also offers a rebate of $200 dollars to anyone who processes $10,000 in any of the first three months of the service. So log on to www.merchantaccounts.co experience the benefits of AMS.

Q: Save Bitmap to disk and release saved file Rendered from DevDept Eyeshot In a WPF application, I need to save a Bitmap to disk and than after some changes I try to delete the saved file and save again the modified image.
The problem is once saved, the bitmap doesn't release the file and throws an exception when I try to delete it.
       //Gets a bitmap from DevDept.EyeShot model via Scene.RenderToBitmap() and save it to disk
       using (var bmpRight = Scene.RenderToBitmap(new System.Drawing.Size(100, 100)))
       {
         bmpRight.Save(rightPath.Replace(".stl", ".jpg"));
       }

Than the user modifies the 3D model and tries to save again with the same name. (Because it is associated to an appointment).
When I try to delete it
      if (System.IO.File.Exists(rightPath.Replace(".stl", ".jpg")))
         System.IO.File.Delete(rightPath.Replace(".stl", ".jpg"));

I throws an error :
The process cannot access the file because it is in use by another process.
If I do the same thing without Scene2.RenderToBitmap() method of the 3D plateforme, it doesn't produce any error. But, how can it be ? There is no relation between the physical file and the plateforme!
Any idea pleae ?

Contract farming in the Mekong Delta's rice supply chain
Hung Nguyen | Published Tue Feb 5 06:06:17 2019
We study three obstacles of the expansion of contract rice farming in the Mekong Delta (MKD) region. The failure of buyers in building trust-based relationship with small-holder farmers, unattractive offered prices from the contract farming scheme, and limited rice processing capacity have constrained contractors from participating in the large-scale paddy field program. We present an agent-based model to examine the viability of contract farming in the region from the contractor perspective.
The model focuses on financial incentives and trust, which affect the decision of relevant parties on whether to participate and honor a contract. The model is also designed in the context of the MKD's rice supply chain with two contractors engaging in the contract rice farming scheme alongside an open market, in which both parties can renege on the agreement. We then evaluate the contractors' performances with different combinations of scenarios related to the three obstacles.
Our results firstly show that a fully-equipped contractor who opportunistically exploits a relatively small proportion (less than 10%) of the contracted farmers in most instances can outperform spot market-based contractors in terms of average profit achieved for each crop. Secondly, a committed contractor who offers lower purchasing prices than the most typical rate can obtain better earnings per ton of rice as well as higher profit per crop. However, those contractors in both cases could not enlarge their contract farming scheme, since either farmers' trust toward them decreases gradually or their offers are unable to compete with the benefits from a competitor or the spot market. Thirdly, the results are also in agreement with the existing literature that the contract farming scheme is not a cost-effective method for buyers with limited rice processing capacity, which is a common situation among the contractors in the MKD region.

AMC releases a teaser for the six new season 10 episodes of The Walking Dead, the first of which, "Home Sweet Home," premieres February 28.
AMC has released a teaser for The Walking Dead season 10's six bonus episodes. Although the Whisperer War storyline has come to a close, the show will focus on some specific characters before diving into the Commonwealth arc in season 11. One of these bonus episodes will show Negan's past, and even features Jeffrey Dean Morgan's real life spouse as Lucille, the character's wife.
Later in 2021 will mark 11 years since The Walking Dead premiered on television. The show has adapted almost all the major storylines in the comics, from the prison arc, to All Out War. All the while, it has featured strong performances and characters being ingrained in popular culture. Perhaps as a surprise to some, the show will come to an end in season 11. The Walking Dead will live on in spinoff shows and films, but the main program will conclude. For comic readers, this isn't surprising, as Commonwealth was the last arc before the final issue's timeskip. Before Commonwealth, fans will get to enjoy six bonus episodes exploring certain team ups and character backstories. The first of these bonus episodes airs February 28.

A teaser for The Walking Dead season 10's six bonus episodes has been released, preparing viewers for the upcoming storylines. Sadly, there's no footage, but the major characters have dialogue teasing what to expect. Check out the teaser below.
It's easy to see the storylines being teased here. For example, the teaser shows Gabriel and Aaron together. The two will be the center focus in "One More." Meanwhile, it sounds like Princess' backstory will be covered in "Splinter." Fans of Daryl and Carol should enjoy "Diverged" based on the description. The second episode of the six, "Find Me" will dive into the time Daryl "left the group after Rick disappeared." Daryl saying, "I'm not gonna stop 'till I find out," probably references his search for Rick. No footage from these episodes has been shown, but AMC has released in-production videos, including one for "Diverged."
These six bonus episodes should do a good job further developingThe Walking Dead characters that appear in them. Daryl and Carol had a rocky relationship toward the latter half of season 10, so it will be interesting seeing where "Diverged" leaves them. "Here's Negan" should be incredibly interesting, as it looks to detail the backstory of one of the show's most popular characters. Of course, probably one of the most highly anticipated scenes coming up is Maggie's reaction to Negan being out in "Home Sweet Home." There are quite a few things to look forward to before the Commonwealth storyline takes the focus in The Walking Dead season 11 later this year.

The Walking Dead Trailer Teases Season 10's Six Extra Episodes - Screen Rant
Posted in The Walking Dead| Comments Off on The Walking Dead Trailer Teases Season 10's Six Extra Episodes – Screen Rant
The Walking Dead creator Robert Kirkman revealed that he almost made the decision to kill Rick off early in the series instead of Shane.
The Walking Dead nearly had a very differentbeginning to the iconic comic series. The comic book's creator Robert Kirkman revealed this week that he considered killing Rick Grimes instead of Shane Walsh early on in its run and explained how he would have made the bold decision - and it was equally as violent as how things actually played out for the two characters.
The Walking Dead comic series first debuted back in 2003 with Kirkman working alongside Tony Moore for the first six issues. Charlie Adlard would take over art duties from issue seven until the series' final issue, with the comic being wildly successful, winning multiple Eisner Award's and getting adapted into an uber-popular TV series (with multiple spinoffs), video games, novels, and more. The main protagonist Rick Grimes nearly made it to the end of the comic series, as he was shockingly killed off in issue #192 - however, it could have been a lot sooner if Kirkman went withhis alternate plans for the character.
Related:The Walking Dead: Who Really Survives In The End
In the reprinted, colorized edition ofThe Walking Dead Deluxe#6 (H/T ComicBook.com), Kirkman wrote about an alternate storyline that would have involved killing Rick instead of Shane. In the comics, Rick kills Shane, his former partner with the police, but Kirkman said he considered Shane killing Rick instead - with Carl finding them in the woods just as it was about to happen. Shane wouldn't have seen Carl and it would create some serious tension throughout the comic. He wrote that Shane would have been the first big villain of the book.
Rather than Carl killing Shane, I considered having Carl find them in the woods just as Shane was killing RICK. That's right I considered killing Rick Grimes as early as issue No. 6
Shane wouldn't have known Carl had seen him, so there would have been a lot of tense exchanges between the two of them," Kirkman explained. Shane would have been the first real big villain in the book, and he would have been with the group, on the same side as them, the enemy sleeping the next tent over.
The ripple effect of Shane killing off Rick just six issues intoThe Walking Deadwould have been huge. Would Shane become the de facto leader? Would Carl's ultimate mission be to avenge his father and would he succeed? Would he become the main character of the series? Would the series been as popular and had a television adaption if Rick was killed off? Killing Rick so soon after he awakensin the middle of a zombie apocalypse would be perfectly fitting for the dark series but it makes sense why Kirkman went with different plans.
Kirkman is never afraid to pull the rug from under readers feet with shocking decisions and deaths - especially in The Walking Dead. But in this case, he made the right choice and killed Shane off instead of Rick. It's impossible to imagine just how different the story and it's adaptations would be if he went through with the alternate plan. Thankfully,The Walking Deadstill lives on more than a decade-and-a-half after it first debuted.

The first trailer for Netflix's Penguin Bloom sees The Walking Dead's Andrew Lincoln enduring a different kind of tragedy alongside Naomi Watts.
Netflix has released the first trailer for Penguin Bloom, Andrew Lincoln's first film since departing The Walking Dead. Lincoln's career goes all the way back to the mid-90s, with roles on screens both big and small. Despite that, he achieved more global recognition for his role as tortured group leader, Rick Grimes, on AMC's post-apocalyptic series. After nearly a decade, however, Lincoln departed the show. It was then announced that three Walking Dead movies centered around Rick were planned.
In the meantime, Lincoln signed on for several new projects. The first would see him play Australian photographer Cameron Bloom. Equally based on a book (written by Bloom and Bradley Trevor Grieve), Penguin Bloom saw Cameron and his family endure a different kind of tragedy. After his wife, Sam (Naomi Watts) was paralyzed in a tragic accident the family struggled to move forward as she succumbed to depression. Fortunately, hope and solace came in the form of an injured magpie the aiding of which served to bring Sam and her family back to life (in a less zombified fashion). Netflix has since released the first trailer, which can be seen below:

Attorney on Bones and Walking Dead Profits Cases Sues Her Former Law Firm – Variety
An attorney who worked on two high-profile profit participation lawsuits has filed a suit against her former law firm, alleging she was never paid her fair share of the legal fees from those cases.
Mansi Shah worked on the Bones lawsuit for Kasowitz Benson Torres LLP. The case resulted in a $179 million arbitration judgment against Fox, though the award was later slashed to $50 million by an L.A. Superior Court judge, and ultimately settled out of court. She also worked on the Walking Dead profits case, representing AMC Networks in its long-running fight with show creator Frank Darabont.
Shah co-founded the law firms entertainment practice group in 2013 with John Berlinski, after both left NBCUniversal. According to the suit, they built up a lucrative practice representing profit participants against studios.
Shah says she was the only non-white partner in the firms Los Angeles office, and one of only a few nationwide. She alleges that she soon found herself cut off from the opportunities afforded to white partners. She resigned from the firm in May 2016 and now works for Warner Bros.
Shah alleges that Kasowitz Benson is now employing Hollywood studio tactics to deny her share of the fees from her work.
Ironically, now that Ms. Shah is no longer at the Firm, it has chosen to engage in the same delay and denial tactics it routinely accuses Hollywood studios of employing, in an attempt to avoid its clear contractual and fiduciary obligation to pay Ms. Shah her agreed upon share of the significant revenues generated by the matters she originated with Mr. Berlinski, the suit alleges.
Under her contract, Shah was entitled to 6.25% of all fees above $1 million generated by her work with Berlinski, up to $500,000 per year. She alleges that she is owed the full $500,000 for each of her two years there, including fees from the Bones and Walking Dead cases. She also represented Genting Malaysia Berhad, which later sued Fox over a theme park near Kuala Lumpur.
The suit states that the firm initially refused to pay Shah any of her cut of the fees, saying she had given up those rights by resigning. The firm later relented and paid her small amounts, eventually totaling $282,020. The firm has offered to pay her another $324,739, but has not done so, according to the claim.
Shah claims that Kasowitz Benson Torres LLP still owes her more than $717,980, plus interest.

Review: Bridge Constructor: The Walking Dead – Movies Games and Tech
Bridge Constructor: The Walking Dead is a good game. Some might expect that this game is lacklustre attempt to expand the already saturated Walking Dead universe. Raising an eyebrow to another Zombie videogame. But this is not the case and is no ordinary zombie game. It is a fun, intricate and smart bridge simulator and puzzle game. That deserves the spotlight.
Dead-ication is key
Bridge constructor: The Walking Dead is a bridge-building simulator at its heart, but a particularly clever one at that. From starting the beginning tutorial levels of the game. I was quickly impressed by the bridge/puzzle mechanics the game brings to the table. Resulting in intricate level design and presenting a real challenge. To complete a level, you have to manage to get your controllable characters to a checkpoint. While killing any walkers (zombies). Doing this requires intricatebridge-building skills to get a perfect balance between saving your players and defeating enemies.
An example would be to create a bridge that allows your player to cross a particular area. At the same time simultaneously pulls a specific large object onto the walkers. Killing them due to the characters weight on the bridge effectively pulling the object onto the walkers. This smart and sophisticated level design mixed with bridge and puzzle mechanics makes this game stand out. At multiple points during levels, I found myself completely surprised at the intricacy needed to complete a level, through building the perfect bridge.
Likewise, the variation in materials used in building bridges and your characters offensive capabilities such as bombs. Makes for a fun, challenging and fulfilling bridge-building simulator. Bridge constructor: The Walking Dead also has a great cartoon style vibe. It looks great with a story spread across its several chapters. Although it isnt as profound as storytelling goes compared to its Telltale counterparts, it offers some story nonetheless.
A bone to pick
However, on the flip side, despite me singing the games praises, it has flaws. Firstly, although it plays okay on the console, it is better suited to the PC or mobile. The controls on console seemed clunky, making it a reasonably arbitrary process to build bridges. At multiple times, I became frustrated at the characters movement mechanics and how long it took to connect two wood pieces. It, therefore, needs better optimisation for consoles in terms of its controls. Likewise, Im not sure about the games replayability and longevity either. You have a several chapter campaign, and thats it. Once you master a level, there is no need to go back without endgame content such as a level builder or other challenge options. Players dont need to come back to ita shame for such a cleverly designed game.
Overall, Bridge constructor: The Walking Dead is not just another addition to its already saturated entertainment franchise. It is a creative, intricate and well-designed game. That offers notable fun and challenge despite replayability issues and a relatively poor console optimisation. It is a good game. There needs to be more attention given to it.

Zack Snyders zombie film overshadows The Walking Dead – The Courier
If Zack Snyder is currently busy with the famous Justice League Snyder Cut, which is eagerly awaited by his fans, the director of Man of Steel and Batman vs. Superman doesnt forget his other big project: Army of the Dead, his zombie film for Netflix to be revealed with new pictures.
As a filmmaker who was particularly valued for the very sophisticated aesthetics of his plans, Zack Snyder quickly became the great architect of the DC Extented Universe. If the American director quickly became one of the great specialists in adapting comics to cinema (300, Watchmen), then he does not seem tied to any particular genre.
We told you a few months ago: Zack Snyder decided to return to his first love by directing Army of the Dead for Netflix, the sequel to his first feature film: Dawn of the Dead. A project that we are following with great interest for several reasons.
First of all, if Dawn of the Dead may not be Zack Snyders most successful film, it is still the film the filmmaker seemed the freest one for. The director does not feel compelled to re-record an existing work shot by shot, as was the case with the adaptation of the comic by Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons. And unlike the DCEU films, Zack Snyder wasnt restricted by the studio that added another free electron: James Gunn, the future director of the Guardians of the Galaxy two shutters, who signed the script for the film. .
Second, because Dawn of the Dead was an effective remake of George A. Romeros masterpiece of the same name. If Snyder took some distance from the anti-capitalist discourse of Romeros film, Dawn of the Dead still managed to capture the essence of zombie films and give the viewer a real serve. This shows the opening scene of the film which is a real lesson in the cinema.
After all, because Army of the Dead is supposed to be the starting point of a new expanded zombie universe produced by Netflix. It is absolutely exciting to see the various networks try to reproduce the Marvel wonder on the small screen in an attempt to crush the competition.
Entertainment Weekly magazine not only published two never-before-seen photos of the film, but also gave an interview to Zack Snyder in which the director confided that Army of the Dead will be a film at the intersection of two highly codified genres: the zombie film and the robbery film .
Its a real zombie heist film in itself, its a genre film within a genre film. So you expect pure zombie mayhem and get 100% it. [] We tried to do with all tropes of the genre.
For those who needed zombies in The Walking Dead, this movie can be served! For those who fear the film is too cartoonish, however, Zack Snyder has the words to put our minds at ease, You have fun with the genre but without making fun of it. Theres a pretty thin line, there he too about his approach.
Snyder is also giving updates on the animated series, which will be a sequel to Dawn of the Dead and Army of the Dead.
I have analyzed the origins of the zombie plague very carefully. Suffice it to say that she is from Area 51, which is in the opening scene of the film. The entire cast is in the animated series and Christian Slatera has the role of the antagonist. We are delving really deep into the origin of this zombie plague
We cant wait to discover these new projects. We will of course keep you informed of their development.
