Elphis is a new Android game from the South Korean developer Com2uS. The company describes it as a "casual role-playing game" that takes in elements of time travel and fairy tales to produce a substantial free-to-play adventure. It's available now via Google Play.
Note: This game was tested on a Motorola Xoom tablet running Android 3.2. No compatibility issues were encountered, though the visuals and controls were simply scaled up for the tablet's larger display rather than optimized.
Elphis casts players in the role of Little Red Riding Hood and takes the form of a side-scrolling platform/role-playing game combination. Using on-screen controls, players navigate Little Red Riding Hood through a variety of different environments and time periods, battle enemies, find items, complete quests and work their way through the story.
The game uses a heavily-exaggerated super-deformed "chibi" art style and bouncy, cute music, making it a game suitable for all ages despite combat featuring heavily in gameplay. Enemies take the form of various silly-looking cute creatures and animals, and Red Riding Hood attacks them using a comically giant mallet. As she levels up from completing quests, the player unlocks the ability to make use of various special abilities, some of which provide ongoing "passive" bonuses to Red's capabilities, while others must be mapped to on-screen "hotkeys" in order to unleash. The game does not support separate USB or Bluetooth control devices — players must use the on-screen controls in order to play the game. These are mostly responsive, though it's sometimes easy to get locked into an attack animation while facing the wrong direction.
The game may be played and enjoyed from start to finish without paying any money whatsoever. As the player proceeds through the game, they will earn in-game currency with which Red may purchase new equipment, which changes her on-screen appearance. This equipment is enough to see Red through her entire adventure, though players also have the opportunity to make use of a premium item store to further enhance her abilities. These items include consumables; bonuses to Red's statistic and skill points; and items for enhancing equipment. All may only be purchased using premium currency.
The premium currency in the game is known as "stars" and players get their first ten for free by signing up for a proprietary Com2uS network account. Beyond this, free stars may be earned via a Tapjoy offer wall or in-app purchase. The offer wall seems to mostly contain cross-promotional efforts between Com2uS' titles and a variety of other Android games and apps, though various other local offers are also available. There is the potential for players to earn a considerable number of stars through taking advantage of the various free offers, though those who simply wish to quickly acquire them may do so easily.
Elphis is a good-quality game with endearing pixel-art graphics and catchy music. It is fun and relatively straightforward to play, though Com2uS' claims that it is a "casual" role-playing game are somewhat questionable — a number of systems in the game are relatively complex and are not immediately explained through tutorials. There is a comprehensive in-game help facility, however, which allows players to refer to detailed information at any time — though this does tend to assume a degree of prior role-playing game experience on the part of the player, and the translation from Korean could be better in a few places.
These issues aside, however, Elphis is a high-quality, deep role-playing game that provides an extremely generous amount of content for free and has the potential to monetize very well simply by providing a good experience for players. It's an excellent addition to Android's growing game library and a great example of how retro console-style gameplay can work well on mobile devices.


Gloucester's commercial property market performed strongly in all sectors throughout 2015 although there is increasing concern about a structural lack of supply in the county, says Alder King in its annual Market Monitor report. This picture is replicated in many centres across the South West including Bristol, Exeter and Swindon.
Demand for both Grade A and secondary offices in Gloucester was strong throughout last year, with a steady number of transactions. Total take-up for 2015 was 145,000 sq ft, in line with 2014's figure but 19% above the five year average, reflecting increased occupier confidence. As a result of improved take-up and the conversion of redundant buildings to residential use, the level of supply for office accommodation dropped to 140,000 sq ft, an 18.6% fall on the five year average. Much of this supply is secondary space and there are no proposals for speculative office development in the near future.
and sustainable low carbon energy. Staff will move into the property in early 2016. Goodman was advised by Alder King and Strutt & Parker.
The South West remains attractive to investors looking for value outside London, with Gloucester securing £32.7 million investment in 2015, predominantly in the retail warehouse sectors. The largest retail warehouse transaction was Picton Capital's purchase of Gloucester Retail Park from Brockton Capital for £14.65 million at a NIY of 6.9%.
Gloucester's retail and leisure market remained active through 2015, with improving demand across the four key streets of the city centre and out of town at Triangle Park where Costa Coffee's forthcoming arrival has fuelled strong interest from other national chains.
. 2015 regional office take-up was 1.9 million sq ft compared to 2.2 million sq ft in 2014.
. Supply of office stock across the region fell 15% compared to 2014 to 3.2 million sq ft, a figure 30% below the five year average.
. 2015 regional industrial take-up increased 24% from on 2014 to 5.9 million sq ft of take-up, up 18% on the previous year.
. Industrial supply fell 40% on the 10 year average to 4.3 million sq ft across the region.

Q: "weak" convergence in C (not L^1) ==> convergence in L^1 Imagine I have $g_n, g \in\mathbb  L^1 (\mathbb R)$ that are non negative ($g_n,g\geq 0$) and I know that
$$\int_\mathbb R f(x) g_n(x) \mathrm dx \rightarrow \int_\mathbb R f(x) g(x)\mathrm  dx$$
for all $f \in C(\mathbb R)$ that are bounded. (Note: I don't assume for all $f\in \mathbb L^1$!)
Does this imply that $g_n \rightarrow g$ in $\mathbb L^1(\mathbb R)$ ?
Thanks!

A: Even if you did assume "for all $f\in L^1$", the answer would still be negative. Let $g_n(x)=(1+\sin  nx)\chi_{[0,2\pi]}$ and $g (x)= \chi_{[0,2\pi]}$. By the Riemann-Lebesgue lemma, $\int fg_n\to \int fg$ for every $f\in L^1(\mathbb R)$; in fact for every function that is   integrable on $[0,2\pi]$. Yet, $$\|g_n-g\|_{L^1} = \int_0^{2\pi}|\sin nx|\ge \int_0^{2\pi} \sin^2 nx  =\frac{\pi}{2}$$ does not tend to zero.

Donald Trump: EU was formed 'to beat the US at making money'
The US presidential hopeful has renewed his criticism of the EU and defended his attacks on Nato allies

Donald Trump has claimed that the European Union was created to "beat the United States when it comes to making money" in an interview with NBC News.
Speaking to Chuck Todd, whom the Republican nominee has repeatedly berated as "sleepy-eyed", Trump also said of the EU "the reason that it got together was like a consortium so that it could compete with the United States".
The European Union was founded as the European Coal and Steel Community in 1952 in an effort to promote strong cross-border ties in Europe and avoid future wars. It has since evolved to a customs union and eventually to the transnational entity devoted to removing internal trade barriers, building a common market and a fiscal union. Its development and growth has been repeatedly supported by the United States under presidents of both parties.
Donald Trump: the madman in his castle
Trump's anti-European statements come after the Republican nominee repeatedly praised Brexit, the vote by the United Kingdom to leave the European Union, including in a press conference in the day after the referendum held at a Trump golf course in Scotland.
In the interview, Trump defended his recent attacks on Nato, saying that countries in the organization needed to pay more to the United States in order for Washington to meet its treaty obligations of mutual defense. In doing so, Trump called Senate majority leader Mitch McConnell "100% wrong" for rebutting his comments earlier this week. The Kentucky senator told Politico: "Nato is the most important military alliance in world history. I want to reassure our Nato allies that if any of them get attacked, we'll be there to defend them."
Trump also called both the World Trade Organization and Nafta "disasters".
The Republican nominee also said that his call to ban people from the United States from "any nation that has been compromised by terrorism" was an expansion on his infamous Muslim ban of December, 2015. "I actually don't think it's a rollback. In fact, you could say it's an expansion," said Trump. He added: "I'm looking now at territory. People were so upset when I used the word Muslim. Oh, you can't use the word Muslim. Remember this. And I'm okay with that, because I'm talking territory instead of Muslim."
The Fear Factory: the driving force of the RNC
Trump also stood by longtime friend Roger Ailes, who left Fox News this week after being accused of sexual harassment by a number of former and current employees. "He's been a friend of mine for a long time," said Trump. The Republican nominee went on to describe the situation as "very sad. Because he's a very good person. I've always found him to be just a very, very good person".
Trump added: "I feel very badly. But a lot of people are thinking he's going to run my campaign."
He also confirmed reports that he would seek revenge against former presidential nominee rivals John Kasich and Ted Cruz by funding a super PAC in the 2018 cycle to help defeat their respective attempts to win the gubernatorial election in Ohio and US Senate election in Texas.
"I'll probably do a super PAC, you know, when they run against Kasich, for $10m to $20m, against Ted Cruz," said Trump. "And maybe one other person that I'm thinking about."
Trump also initially hedged on whether he'd support the Senate candidacy of former Ku Klux Klan candidate David Duke, who announced Friday that he would mount a bid as a Republican in his home state of Louisiana. When asked: "Would you support a Democrat over David Duke," Trump responded: "I guess, depending on who the Democrat was, but the answer would be yes."
Duke has cited Trump as an inspiration for his candidacy and is a long-time endorser. The Republican nominee has faced controversy during his campaign for his unwillingness to condemn Duke at times.

These are the people who make Omega happen!
The Omega To-Do List
Obviously this won't be on the final-draft website.
So what is Omega anyway?
In the words of the universe's initiator:
Good question. Omega is a shared universe created on-line by the writers in the Omega Writer's Group. The basic premise for the universe is that all super powers are explainable by psionic powers. From there, we've built a world where some Omegas, people with psi powers, are virtual gods while others can make flowers change color. Some want to change the world, some can't even change their pants. We have honest to God villains, like the late, lamented Jarvin Tazakles, and we have reluctant heroes, like Anne Benson. The Seekers are the US Government's response to the Omega, and Stormkiller seeks to develop the means to kill the most powerful of them, who happens to be an eighteen year old just reaching his adulthood. Some wear masks and call themselves by code-names, others find the concept ridiculous. Omega started out as an attempt to write more 'serious' stories. I don't know what we became. You tell me.
Omega is special to me, and I hope to explain why in a little detail here. Don't worry...I'll try not to bore the living shit out of you. I might end up doing so, but it was unintentional. Omega was the first independent universe to come out of the wake of the rec.arts.comics.creative vote. Basically, after the vote passed and the group was formed, I posted, almost as an afterthought, that I'd like to try and start a universe where I could write my more serious comic-book inspired stories. Apparently this was a timely posting. Within a day, I was swamped with mail from all sorts of people. I think I ended up with thirty-five responses. Most of them found out that there's a reason Marie Antoon refers to me as "Hyper-Kinetic" and walked away. A few intrepid souls decided that they could put up with my insanity, and we formed the Omega Writers Group. Three years, more than ten series and several massive crossovers later, we are still here. I blame our society and its crippling phobia about drug use, myself.
We're the Knights of the Omega Table
We angst because we're able!
We fight and laugh and jump and play
Because Owen's around and demonically
Plotting our demise!
We've got Covenant to wisecrack and
Legacy being relevant to beat the band!
Tempest likes to brood and pout,
But not when Rene Johnson's about!

Gambian representatives at London Olympics opening ceremony wearing APRC Green fatgues!
Three officials led by Momodou Demba, the development officer of the Gambian National Olympic Committee (GNOC) and Gambia Chef De Mission, joined only three participants at the London Olympics opening ceremony to represent the Country.
Old and frail looking men with one female were seen representing the Gambia, when the name of the country was announced at the opening ceremony of the London Olympics on Friday 27th July 2012.
An angry viewer of the event, who contacted Kibaaro News, asked why this has become the trend in the Gambia, as if no one cares. A former athlete, who also contacted us, accused the Gambian Olympic Committee of being bias by denying deserving athletes the opportunity to travel to represent the country at the Olympics.
Some Gambians said they were embarrassed to see their country's representatives dressed in complete green outfit, which symbolizes the ruling APRC flag. They wondered why they did not wear any of our colourful national outfits.
The Gambia National Olympic and Commonwealth Games Association was formed in 1972, under the stewardship of Mr Omar Sey. The former Director of Youth and Sports, who later became the President of the organization that attained full membership of the International Olympic Committee four years later. His prominent successors were Alhaji A .B. Dandeh-Njie elected President of the Association and Alhaji A.M Touray Secretary General.
Gambia's first attendance of Olympic and also its biggest to date was in 1984 when all the 10 athletes competed at the Los Angeles Olympic Games in 1984. They included twins Paul and Peter Ceesay who took part in the 1, 500 and 800 meter events, respectively. Though no medal was won, the spirit of the game kicked off in Banjul with young aspirants showing talents. One such talent was Jay Suma Saidy-Ndure who had so much hopes of a silver wear in sprinting. He was reported to be frustrated with the corrupt system of sport officials in Banjul, prompting his decision to run for Norway where he later naturalized.
In the last trials for qualification held in Dakar Senegal from the 15th – 16th May 2010 attended by Gambia, Ghana, Nigeria, Mali, Ivory Coast, Burkina Faso, Benin, Mauritania and Cape Verde in Pre-Olympic Youth Qualification for West Africa Region; Gambia scored the following positions. What had happened after that became a complete mystery, with people questioning how the country's representatives made it to London.
1. Fatou Sowe 100m Girls 2nd position Heat 1 timing 12.50Q, 100m Girls 3rd position Final timing (12.48).
10. Momodou Lamin Kujabi 400m boys 3rd position Final timing (49.46).
The Gambian team came out 2nd position in the final 4x1x2x3x4 men's relay. The team comprised Ousman Gibba, Ebrima Saine, Momodou Lamin Kujabi and Omar Jammeh with a record timing of (1.57.24) and Omar Jammeh came 1st in the 1000m boys final.
Out of all the above performances, there were no mention of either Suwaibou Sanneh or Sariba Colley who are representing the Gambia at this year's Olympics. Sariba clocked her best performance at the Benin trials clocking 12.12 in women's 100m race. Suwaibou Sanneh is expected to make his debut on Saturday 4th of August 2012 at 11.30 am GM in the men's 100m race.
Three athletes represented Gambia at the Beijing Olympics, where two competed in 100m races; one in boxing. All three athletes in Beijing were eliminated in the first rounds. However, there too, the country was represented more by officials than athletes.
Gambia has few highlights to report on Olympic success, but Dawda Jallow came seventh in 400m at Seoul in 1988, reaching the quarter finals.

Without volunteers the institutional church would close its doors for good. As Christians we believe that all those who are called to follow Christ have a part to play in helping the Church become the Body of Christ here and now. If you are looking to volunteer your time and talents, there are a number of positions across our group of parishes that need people with specific skills. If you think you could do any of the positions listed below and would be interested in volunteering please contact Rev Chris at the Rectory. Contact details are across the page.
This position takes a couple of hours each month, to enter the monthly transactions onto a spread sheet and prepare simple accounts for the PCC at the end of the year. At present other volunteers pay the money into the bank and issue cheques but this could also become part of the role. If available you would be invited to PCC meetings to report on the current financial state of the accounts. The PCC meets 4 times a year.
Skills in simple book keeping whether on computer or paper are essential.
We need someone to help publicise the events that take place across our group of parishes throughout the year and to help us develop a tourist trail for those interested in visiting old churches. Two of the churches in our group are listed in Simon Jenkins book 'England's Thousand Best Churches' - Heckington & Swaton, and so we already get people seeking us out.
Good people skills and the confidence to liaise with local newspapers and radio stations is essential. The ability to produce posters & handouts and to get them to the right places to be seen or distributed would be helpful. Marketing skills would be useful too but not essential.
Help is needed to keep this website and other sites connected with our Group up dated with details of events that are coming up and news about what is happening across our Group of parishes.
Computer skills are essential and creative ideas to make and keep the websites relevant and useful.
There will soon be a number of positions available to help launch and maintain our new Friends Group for Heckington Church one of the 100 best churches architecturally in England. We will need help in a number of areas with developing a friends group so if you have any expertise in this area we would love to hear from you. Watch this space for future developments.


In our homes, the kitchen is one of the rooms that are mostly used. It is in the kitchen where meals are cooked and eaten.Families come together to talk as they share a bite. Thus, you need a functional and attractive kitchen. Nevertheless, the cost of remodeling the kitchen is often a challenge to many people since they may not have the finances.Here are some of the benefits that are worth considering in deciding whether or not to undertake kitchen remodeling in your house.
You do not need to remodel your kitchen all at once which eases your financial burden.This is unlike many other rooms in your house.You can choose to remodel your kitchen as you get the finances and time to get the job done.For instance, projects such as replacing your light fittings and faucets are not expensive and hence can be easily completed within a day or during a weekend in comparison to changing your cabinet hardware and painting the walls of your kitchen and cabinet which can take more time.
Another advantage of remodeling your kitchen is that you can use other methods to achieve the results you want without having to spend a lot of money.For instance, in case you want to replace your counter top, you can have the new counter top fixed on top of the old one instead of spending money to have your old counter removed.Alternatively, you can sand and then paint your old counter top which can save you from having to change the counter top.
Kitchen remodeling is also important because it can make your kitchen more functional.If you bought a house that was already constructed, chances are that you are staying with an idea that belongs to someone else of what a functional kitchen is. What is functional to you may be different from what someone else finds to be functional.Remodeling your kitchen provides you with the chance to make to your kitchen functional.
Another importance of kitchen remodeling is that it can raise the value of your house. More often, remodeling your home rises its value if you decide to sell it. Buyers who are ready to pay the asking price will be attracted by kitchens that are more appealing and functional since they will mostly make a house to appear more inviting and friendly.
Remodeling your kitchen also makes it attractive which is very vital. This makes it exciting to spend time there cleaning up and preparing meals.
Lastly, as now you are aware of the importance of remodeling your kitchen, you can decide if the effort to remodel it is worth considering.

2002: Hisarönü to Kalymnos
This web page contains the logs of the third leg of a 53 day sailing trip that I took, together with Alice Riginos, with S/Y Thetis from Bozburun in Turkey to Emborios in the island of Kalymnos. The logs cover a period of 10 days. Places visited are: the islands of Symi (Panormitis, Nana-Maria, Thessalona, Ayia Marina, and Yialos), Yiali, Kos (Kamari), Kalymnos (Vathis, Arginondas, and Emborios), and Telendos.
The logs are illustrated with maps and also include some historical and geographical descriptions of the places visited as well as several links to other related web sites. The usual photographs are missing because my digital camera broke down.

Route from Hisarönü Bay
Tuesday September 3, 2002 Day 13
Before leaving Bozburun, taking advantage of the fresh water connection, we washed the deck and the cockpit with soap and water. We got back the laundry. Tuesday in Bozburun is a market day. There were carts full of fresh produce, meats, fish, spices, tablecloths, shoes, tools, mousetraps, bee smokers, you name it. Again I wished I had a working camera. We spent all of our left-over Turkish liras and some single US dollars.
After we returned to Thetis we cast off at 1100 and motored 1.8 M to Kizil Adasi [36° 39.9' N 28° 02.4' E] where we anchored in 8 m depth. The wind was a light western 10-14 knot breeze. We had a pleasant swim which was followed by lunch. Later in the afternoon the wind increased and we dragged our anchor. It was time to go.
We left at 1518. The wind now was a good 15-21 knot breeze from the WSW. We took down the tent, raised the zodiac on deck, opened the genoa, and turned off the engine. We had to tack twice before clearing Kizil Burnu and exit Sömbeki Körfezi. After this it was a straight up-wind sail to the southernmost point of Symi. After rounding the point we rolled-in the headsail and motored the remaining 3 M to Panormitis, our destination.
We arrived in Panormitis [36° 33.2' N 27° 50.8' E], Sými at 1930 after sailing for 22.6 M. Inside the large landlocked anchorage there were strong gusts from the west. We anchored in 4.5 m depth. Later we repeatedly were blown uncomfortably close to another sailboat and were forced to re-anchor. This time we anchored away from the other three boats already in the anchorage, but we were more exposed to the incoming swell. During the night the wind was mild but it came from almost all directions.
Sými or Sími or Syme (Σύμη) used to be off the beaten track and its harbor Yialos, is a jewel of a town with colorful houses built up the steep slopes. Unfortunately this lovely island has been "discovered." It became an "in" place and in the summer it is crowded and the lovely harbor sports the usual bars with their loud music. On the other hand, many of the abandoned houses have been restored. In the last few years, however, the level of tourism has been upgraded, featuring some upscale restaurants and less loud bars, along with more restorations.
Sými along with Kalymnos and Halki is famous for its sponge divers and at the height of the sponge trade in the early 20th century was very wealthy. Sponge diving in Sými has been going on since ancient times.
According to the mythology the island was named after princess Sými, the daughter of the king of Rhodes Ialysos. She was abducted by Glaukos the famous builder of Jason's Argo who brought her to the island. Her descendants were renowned ship builders. According to another myth, the Titan Prometheus modeled a man out of the clay from the island. This angered Zeus so much, that he turned Prometheus into a monkey. Since then the word "simian" is connected with monkeys.
Pelasgian walls found in Chorio attest to the long history of the island. In the Iliad, Homer tells how Symi mastered three ships which were led by king Nireus. In later times the island was part of the Dorian Hexapolis (six cities) and dominated by Rhodes. The Romans fortified the acropolis at Chorio and the Byzantines converted it into a fort. Later this fort was renovated by the Grand Master of the Knights of St. John, Foulques de Villaret. During the knight period the island prospered.
When the Ottoman sultan Suleiman the Magnificent attacked Rhodes, the Symiotes avoided the attack by offering their most precious sponges for his harem. He granted the island some independence and made it into a free port. The island continued to prosper under the Ottomans and the islanders in turn sent sponges to Istanbul every year. After the Greek revolution, some of the privileges were withdrawn but the island still remained prosperous.
The island was occupied by the Italians from 1912 until the second World War. During this period, because the Italians closed the island to the Asia Minor markets and because of the competition from steam ships, the fortunes of Symi declined. Its population dropped from 23,000 to 600.
On May 8 1945 the treaty granting all of the Dodecanese to Greece was signed in Symi, and the island became part of Greece in 1948. Today, with tourism and with wealthy Athenians and Rhodians buying and reconstructing its old houses, the island is regaining its former wealth.
Wednesday September 4, 2002 Day 14
We stayed in Panormitis. We went ashore to the Monastery of Panormitis. The monastery operates a wonderful bakery from which we bought some crusty peasant bread. We then proceeded to the inner courtyard and bought tickets, for 1.5 €, to visit the two small museums within the monastery. We succeeded in visiting the Folklore Museum but by the time we finished, the Byzantine Museum had closed down. It turns out the museums open only when there is a tour boat. We hung around until the next tour boat arrived. Many people landed, mostly Greeks carrying brooms! The Byzantine Museum now opened and we went in. There were the usual icons and ecclesiastical garments but the most interesting exhibits are various bottles cast into the sea by distressed seamen. They usually contain a note addressed to Archangel Michael, the patron of the monastery, with names to be used in prayers, and some offering, usually money but some of them have olive oil. These bottles "inevitably" find their way here by sea and are collected by the monks. One bottle contained a model sailing ship and it came from Lipsi. Other bottles contain oil or seeds. We asked the young lady who was minding the museum why so many people carried brooms. It turns out that many faithful come with brooms with which they sweep the Archangel's church and then leave them. The monastery store also sells brooms to the pilgrims who forgot to bring their own.
While visiting the monastery, strong gusts developed and Thetis had dragged her anchor. We rushed back and re-anchored her this time also taking a stern line ashore.
In the evening, after the day cooled down, we went ashore again and took a two hour walk up the hill into the woods towards Faneromeni. We were treated to a gorgeous sunset. By the time we returned to Thetis it was dark. We made for dinner pepper-flavored pasta from Turkey which we served with a fresh tomato sauce along with a Doluca Turkish red wine. A good day.
Thursday September 5, 2002 Day 15
Early in the morning I took the zodiac and went ashore to the bakery for bread. Then after I untied the shore line, we raised the dinghy and the anchor. We departed Panormitis at 0935. We motored for 9.1 M east and then north checking along the way various coves for the possibility of anchoring in the future. We checked Faneromeni Bay, Marathouda (a very attractive cove with a small hamlet), and Ormos Nanou-Maria [36° 34.9' N 27° 51.6' E] (a lovely cove). Here we anchored in 12 m depth at 1140. We swam and had lunch. While we were eating a familiar sailboat came and anchored next to Thetis. It was the S/Y Dolce Vita that I had met earlier this year in Límnos and at Samothráki.
We left Nanou-Maria at 1615. We motored for 2 M north to the next cove, Thessalona or Ayios Yiorgios [36° 35.9' N 27° 52.3' E] where we arrived at 1645. We anchored in 7 m over sand. Thessalona is a deep cove with very clear waters surrounded by tall dramatic rocky cliffs. Again I missed my camera. There were violent gusts from all directions. They did not abate and kept blowing all night.
Friday September 6, 2002 Day 16
After a slow start we were ready to depart from Thessalona but when I pressed the starter button it disintegrated. It took some time to replace it with a spare. This is the second time this season when the starter button failed. Now Thetis is without a spare. Eventually we departed at 1015. There was hardly any wind and we continued our exploration of the east coast of Symi by motoring.
We entered the cove of Pédi (Πέδη) which is just S of Yialos the main harbor of the island. It certainly looks like it is an attractive alternative to Yialos which can at times be very crowded. At the northern exit of Pédi there is the very attractive small anchorage of Ayia Marina [36° 37.4'N 27° 52.3' E]. We anchored there at 1110 in 4 m over sand.
We spent a most pleasant afternoon swimming and reading under the tent. The only problem was that the light wind kept, almost continuously, shifting direction and we had to re-anchor. We departed Ayia Marina at 1600 and motored to Yialos (Γιαλός) [36° 37' N 27° 50.2' E] arriving at 1645. The total distance we came from Thessalona was 6.7 M. Amazingly enough there was an attendant, Michalis, a surly fat individual, who directed us to an empty spot and received our stern lines. His services were 2 €. I gave him as a tip an extra 2 € but he did not seem to be pleased.
After deploying the passarella and taking showers we went ashore. Yialos has been upgraded since our last visit in 1986. Many of its old buildings have been restored and now gleam in their fresh many colored pastel paint. There are blissfully few discos and the town is, considering that it is a major tourist attraction, surprisingly quiet. We ended having dinner at the Manos Fish Tavern (Ψαροταβέρνα) which is one of the Alpha Guide's recommendations. We were served nichakia — "small nails" as an appetizer. These were small snails with a tail ending in a tiny nail, hence the name. They were tasty. The main dish was grilled barbounia (red mullets) and loutsoi (a longish gray fish) which were delicious. It was a terrific but rather expensive meal.
After dinner we took another walk in the narrow streets. We were drawn by the sound of island music to the back of the town hall. There, in an opening, a free concert was in full swing. The group of three musicians, with native instruments, called the Travelers of the South (Ταξιδευτές του Νότου) were singing songs from Crete, Symi, and Kasos. We enjoyed this "extra" very much. All together this was a very satisfying day.
Saturday September 7, 2002 Day 17
Our original plan was to go south from Symi to the islands of Alimnia and Chalke but Alice was not feeling very well and so we decided to skip them and go back to Yiali and Niseros. After some provision shopping we departed from Symi at 0955. The wind was 8-14 knots WNW almost from the same direction as our course of 280°. Nevertheless, we raised the mainsail and opened the genoa and sailed. After several tacks and 43.4 sea miles we arrived in our favorite anchorage in Yiali [36° 38.6' N 27° 06.9' E] at 1745.
Here on the SW tip of the island we were sheltered from the waves. We anchored over sand in 4 m depth. We had a nice swim in the clear waters and later, while sipping ouzo, watched a lovely sunset. The evening was very clear and we were treated to wonderful views of Cape Crio (Knidos), Niseros, and Kos. We made pasta alla puttanesca for dinner. Everything would had been fine except for poor Alice who was not feeling well and was running a low fever.
Sunday September 8, 2002 Day 18
We had a quiet and restful day in this very pleasant anchorage. I went snorkeling in the clear waters and saw several small fish. In the late afternoon we launched the dinghy and went ashore for a walk along the sandy beach. There were pumice stones everywhere. The colors of the various soft rock formations were fantastic. There are small mountains of mined chalk in many shades of white. A large conveyor belt gives the whole island, which appears deserted, a very surrealistic appearance. The dingy had developed a new leak which I patched.
Alice was still not feeling well. Made dinner of rice with tuna. The night was very peaceful. There was a new moon.
Monday September 9, 2002 Day 19
Alice continued not to feel well and as a result we had a slow morning. A fishing boat came from Kos. We went over and asked if they had any fish. All they had were gopes (sardine like fish). They gave us about 15 of them and under no circumstances they would accept any payment. We took the fish ashore and cleaned them. I then gave the fishermen a bottle of ouzo from Samos. This they did accept. I made a fish soup which we ate for lunch. It was delicious.
Alice, however, was not getting any better. Now she did not feel like going to Niseros anymore. The zodiac was still leaking. It was getting old and I really do need to replace it. We decided to start on our way back towards Leros and stop in Kamari.
We departed Yiali at 1550. We had a nice 10-12 knot WNW breeze with which we were able to sail with full genoa while keeping on the tent for shade. We arrived in Kamari, Kos [36° 44.1' N 26° 58.4' E] at 1800 after 10.2 M. Although there was plenty of room at the quay we did not dock. Instead we anchored off in 5 m depth, letting out 50 m of scope, just N of the mole. Here it gets deep very quickly. Thetis settled at 14 m depth. It seemed a pleasant enough place and the water was clear. There were, however, several tavernas and large hotels and Heikell warns of noise. This and the strong lights at the quay were the reasons we anchored off.
We did not go ashore. For dinner we ate more of the fish soup, which I thickened with avgolemono (egg and lemon). True to Heikell's predictions, around 11 PM we could hear disagreeable disco music from the shore. Other than that, this was a pleasant anchorage. Alice continued not to feel well.
Tuesday September 10, 2002 Day 20
We departed Kamari, Kos at 0840, our destination was Vathis in Kalymnos. There was a light WNW breeze of 8-12 knots but we had to motor because we were heading against it. At 1050, after rounding Cape Dafni, the northwesternmost point of Kos, we opened the genoa, keeping on the tent because Alice did not feel very well, and turned off the motor. We sailed the rest of the way to Kalymnos. On the way, we had to change course to avoid colliding with the large tanker Asset from Valletta which was anchored approximately 5 M off Kos. I had seen the tanker from a distance and also observed it on the radar but had assumed that she was under way. Being anchored and not moving had fooled me.
We arrived in Vathis, Kalymnos [36° 58.4' N 27° 01.7' E] at 1335, with a total of 28.6 sea miles. Ahead of us in the narrow cove was a 50' Dutch sailboat with an elderly couple. They had the hardest time docking stern-to. Thetis stood by waiting for them to finish their maneuver. After several unsuccessful attempts, they appeared to give up and moved away. We proceeded to anchor but as we started backing up to the quay, they came back and cut us off. I got rather upset but I pulled away and waited again. At last they docked. We anchored and backed up again but the quay where we were heading seemed too shallow and had large underwater rocks so we made a second attempt and docked without much trouble near the end of the mole which is marked "For Ferries." I think the Dutch couple realized that they had cut us off because they came right away to help us with our stern lines.
Vathi or Vathis (Βαθύς) is a pleasant place. Free water is available on the quay but there are no other facilities. Despite Alice not feeling well we took a long walk inland. There are many orchards here. We had a delicious grilled fish along with a marvelous cucumber-tomato salad with hard toast and a local cheese at the Popy's Restaurant.
Wednesday September 11, 2002 Day 21
We stayed in Vathis. Fortunately there were no new terrorist activities on this bleak anniversary of last year's infamous attacks in the US. We had been told last night that the bus to Pothia, the main town and harbor of Kalymnos, arrives here in Vathis at 10:30 and we had even bought tickets for the bus. We waited and waited for the bus but it did not show up. A nice man, who has lived in Australia for many years, gave us a ride to town in his van. He told us that the buses, starting today, operate on the winter schedule. Walking in Pothia, one takes his life in his own hands. The streets are narrow, many without sidewalks, and most drivers are dare devils. We managed to locate a replacement starter button and bought some glue which may or may not be suitable for patching the zodiac. We took a taxi and visited the modern monastery of Ayios Savas which overlooks the town. After our visit, the taxi drove us back to Vathis.
In Vathis our Dutch friends had departed but there were two new arrivals. The S/Y Riks with John and Mary Richmond who also keep their boat in Agmar, and another sailboat with a Norwegian couple also from Agmar. John and Mary I have been meeting on and off for several years now and as a mater of fact they are the people who first introduced me to the Agmar (now Moor & Dock) in Leros.
We ate dinner again at Popy's. The meal was presided over by the proprietor, Mrs. Sevasti, a very lively 55ish grandmother who knows everyone on the island. Unfortunately Alice's condition had deteriorated. Now she had developed a very painful rash. After reading Thetis' medical books and matching her symptoms we had concluded that she may have herpes zoster, a serious viral infection. We need to get her to a doctor.

Thursday September 12, 2002 Day 22
Mrs. Sevasti of Popy's had told us last night that the bus to Pothia had indeed changed schedule. Now it comes in Vathis at 8:30 AM. We were there and took the bus. In Pothia, we asked at a drug store for a doctor recommendation and we located his office. He was fairly young but sharp. He confirmed our diagnosis of herpes zoster and prescribed a series of drugs: an anti-viral, a strong pain killer, and a skin ointment. After filling the prescription, we took a taxi back to Thetis. As there was no more reason to stay further in Vathis we prepared for departure and topped the water tanks.
We departed Vathis at 1315. There was almost no wind, just the lightest 5-8 knot NW breeze. We motored the 14.5 M to our destination the small island of Telendos, on the W side of Kalymnos. We arrived in Telendos [36° 59.9' N 26° 55.4' E] at 1605 and we anchored in 7.5 m depth and well clear of the underwater cables connecting the two islands. I snorkeled and checked the anchor. I was not pleased because it was embedded in weed but since there was no wind and I had let out plenty of chain we should be all right. I used the new glue that we had purchased yesterday and patched the holes on the zodiac. The leaks now appeared to have gone.
Later, after the glue had dried, we launched the dinghy and went ashore where we took a long walk ending in the Plaka restaurant. Alice was not actually better but we were both very relieved that we knew the cause of her ailment and that she was now taking the proper medication.
Friday September 13, 2002 Day 23
Alice felt somewhat better. We were keeping our fingers crossed. We left Telendos at 1035 and motored along the NNW side of the island after which we changed direction and headed to Arginondas in Kalymnos [37° 00.9' N 26° 58' E] where we arrived at 1145, after 3.4 M. The wind was a very light but variable breeze of 4-6 knots, mostly coming from the SW. We anchored in 5 m over sand. We stayed in Arginondas for lunch but the water was not very clear and we did not swim.
At 1645 we departed and motored for 2.9 M W to Emborios [37° 02.7' N 26° 55.7' E] arriving at 1720. We tied to one of the moorings belonging to the Captain Costas restaurant. This is a pleasant anchorage save for several fish-farms which pollute the waters and spoil the scenery. The leak on the zodiac was less but not completely gone. We went ashore for a walk. I climbed the very steep hill to the ruins of a medieval watch tower which is now used as a goat shelter. It was very slippery. Alice wisely did not follow me. This side of the island has a very desolate and inhospitable terrain.
Back on Thetis we took showers and then went ashore for dinner at the Captain Costas restaurant. We ate octopus balls (χταποδοκευτέδες) a Kalymnian specialty, and a large grilled sargos (a flat silvery fish). Captain Costas was not there but we were served by his children, a young man of about 18 and his older sister of 24 with a small baby. Both young people were very attentive and personable while the food was very tasty.

Keyamot Theke Keyamot (; ) is a Bangladeshi musical romantic drama film directed by Sohanur Rahman Sohan. The film was released on Eid vacation and was a huge success throughout Bangladesh. This movie was also the debut film of its two main leads Salman Shah and Moushumi, both of whom later became top movie stars in Bangladesh. The film is an official remake of the 1988 Hindi Language film titled Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak, and like its predecessor, is based on Romeo and Juliet.

Plot
Mirza and Khan are two rival influential families in the village. The younger Khan son of the rich Khan family, Kabir Khan engages in a love affair with the younger Mirza sister, Dimple Mirza and makes her pregnant after dumping her. But Kabir, who's engaged to another girl, later refuses to marry Dimple after denying the allegations made by Boro Mirza which dishonours the Mirza family leading to the suicide of Dimple. Mirza Salauddin avenges death by killing Kabir, at his wedding, after showing him her body there and is sentenced to imprisonment. Boro Mirza leaves the village with Mirza Salauddin's wife Shahana and son Raj and move to Dhaka at his other's sister's house out of shame that their girl's lover will marry someone else especially after he impregnates her. He begins a successful clothing business with his brother-in-law Jamal.

Production
The production house Anandamela Cinema Limited bought remaking rights of three Hindi films including Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak and proposed the director Sohanur Rahman Sohan to make a film based on one of them. Sohanur Rahman Sohan decided to make a film with completely new leads. Moushumi, who was then an emerging model, was selected for the leading female role. Initially, Amin Khan was supposed to do the film as the lead protagonist in place of Salman Shah, but he was opted out of this film by director Sohanur Rahman Sohan and producer Sukumar Ranjan Ghosh and the leading male role was eventually given to Salman Shah after it was turned down by actor Tauquir Ahmed and model Adil Hossain Nobel.

Music
Alam Khan worked as the music director of this remake film while the original music in Hindi was composed by the Anand–Milind duo. Lyrics are written by Moniruzzaman Monir. Music was recorded in Anupam Recording Studio and singers were Runa Laila and Agun. The film is also the playback debut of singer Agun.

15th Summer of Education Pioneers Fellowship Cohorts Announced
Contact for Education Pioneers
Sara Guderyahn
Vice President, External Relations
Sara.Guderyahn@educationpioneers.org
National nonprofit Education Pioneers announces next cohort of fellowship program for future education leaders
BOSTON, MA — As the education sector faces a growing challenge in recruiting and retaining passionate professionals, Education Pioneers (EP) announced today their 15th summer of cohorts for the Fellowship which offers future education leaders a 10-week experience to apply their skills to a mission critical project at an education organization along with K-12 professional development among a cohort of peers and EP's national network of more than 4,000 Alumni.
The talented professionals chosen to participate in the selective program are rising leaders who are eager to put their skills to work for school districts, charter management organizations, state education agencies, and other organizations working in public education on behalf of our nation's highest-need students. EP provides participants with the knowledge, resources, and network to inspire careers in education.
"We need leaders at all levels to work in complex, high-impact roles in the education sector," said Melissa Wu, CEO of Education Pioneers. "By connecting our national network of diverse leaders with local education organizations, Education Pioneers is ensuring the education sector has access to the top talent coming through graduate school programs while advancing important initiatives to eliminate the opportunity gap."
"I believe our movement's success depends largely on our leaders' capacity to deliver on the promises made to our families and communities," Tracy Session, Vice President of Program at Education Pioneers said. "Providing EP Fellows with the community and context they need to understand the complexity of local and national education issues puts them on a path towards inclusive, transformational leadership."
The EP Summer Fellowship is a 10-week summer experience that previews the impact a future leader can make in the education sector and lays the foundation they need to become a lifelong leader. Of the 2019 EP Fellows, over 60 percent self-identify as people of color, 45% are new to the education sector, and 80% are recent graduates or currently in graduate school.
Fellows learn from experts and from one another to collectively enhance their impact in the projects they're currently working on with EP's network of partner organizations, and to strengthen the pipeline of talented leaders ready and interested in taking on roles in data analytics, strategy, finance, project management, and more across the education sector. The first 15 years of cohorts total more than 4,000 EP Alumni, 70% of whom continue to work in education today.
"I hope to gain a more clear understanding for how I can translate my business management skills into the education sector while promoting and supporting equity and opportunity," said Natosha Safo, a 2018 CORO Fellow, former Business Development Manager in the San Francisco Mayor's Office of Economic & Workforce Development, and current EP Fellow at Great Oaks Charter.
I'm looking forward to an opportunity to immerse myself in a role that will allow me to directly combat the education gap. I want to better utilize my skillset to be a catalyst for a more equitable public education for all students," said Daniel Flores, a graduate of Northwestern University's Kellogg School of Management, former management consultant, and current EP Fellow at Chicago Public Schools.
For the full list of 2019 Summer Fellows and the Partners for whom they're working, click here.
Additionally, more than 20 professionals already working in the education sector will join cohorts as Visiting Fellows. The Visiting Fellowship focuses on developing emerging leaders who are well-positioned and eager to deepen their impact at their existing organization. Participating in EP's signature leadership development and cohort experiences help these leaders re-energize their commitment to education by deepening their hard and soft skills, engaging in peer consulting, and expanding their professional network. For the full list of the 2019 Visiting Fellows who were nominated by the supervisors to participate in the program, click here.
Of the organization's Alumni in the workforce, more than 70 percent serve in education and lead or contribute to work that impacts public school students in major cities across the nation, most of whom are students of color and growing up in underserved areas.

words.js
========

**words.js** is a library/toolbox for working with strings and words. Great for handling command-line or text input, educational tools, word-games, text filters, password generators, etc..

___

**a few quick examples:**
```javascript
import Words from 'words.js';

const words = new Words('pick the words you need with indices');

console.log( words.get(1, 3, -2, 3) );
// pick words with words

words.set('you can be very specific with upper and lowercase')
	.upper(-1, -3, 'y', 'specific')
console.log( words.$ );
// You can be verY SPECIFIC with UPPER and LOWERCASE

words.set('you can reverse all word positions').upper(-1, 3).reverse();
console.log( words.$ );
// POSITIONS word all REVERSE can you

words.set('or reverse or remove specific words and sort?')
	.reverse(2, -1).remove('or', 'remove').sort();
console.log( words.$ );
// ?tros and esrever specific words

words.set('noticed you can remove indices and words mixed?')
	.remove('noticed', -2, -4, 'and');
console.log( words.$ );
// you can remove mixed?

words.set('or shuffle specific words').shuffle(2, 3);
console.log( words.$ );
// or seuhlff fiiespcc words (pseudo random)

words.set('.startsWith searches for matching complete words');
console.log( words.startsWith('.startsWith search') );
// false
console.log( words.startsWith('.startsWith searches') );
// true

// more examples below in the API
```
___

**Dependencies and loading**

words.js depends on strings.js.

- strings.js is a flexible string manipulation library. It's API can be found at: https://github.com/phazelift/strings.js

___

Most methods overload strings.js methods, only to focus on words rather than characters.
Where in strings.js you use shuffle to randomly reorder the characters in a string, in words.js the overloaded shuffle function randomly reorders the words in a string, or you can shuffle the characters of a specific word in a string, and much more. See the API for examples.

All indexes in words.js are 1 based. Negative indexes can be used in most functions. -1 references the last word in the internal words array, 1 references the first word.

words.js is made for chaining operations on words in strings, most of it's methods return their
own context. To return the actual value of the internal string/array, one can use `.get()` or `.$` or `.string`.
___
All input and output is type save; you can throw in any type and still get a string if the expected output is of type `<string>`. If any method receives an argument of a type it cannot process, the argument will simply be ignored.

___
API
---

If you see `<string>/<number>`, it means you can either enter a String or Number argument, both will be parsed correctly.
___

**Words.prototype.words**
> `<array> words`

> The internal array were all (space seperated) words are stored. Better not use directly to avoid bugs, instead use .set() to set, and .get(), .$ and .string to fetch.

**Words.prototype.constructor**
> `<this> constructor( <string>/<number> string= '' )`

> Initializes the contextual object.

> Use any combination of arguments to form a string. All invalid arguments will be ignored.

```javascript
var words= new Words('numbers and strings accepted', 123, 'not objects, arrays etc..', {}, [1,2,3], 'they are simply ignored..');
console.log( words.$ );
// numbers and strings accepted 123 not objects, arrays etc.. they are simply ignored..
```

**Words.prototype.count**
> `<number> count`

> A getter to get the amount of words in this.words.

```javascript
var words= new Words('word counting included');
console.log( words.count );
// 3
```

**Words.prototype.set**
> `<this> set( <string> string1, ..., stringN )`

> Set this.words with string(s). The strings can be given in the 3 (types.js) .intoArray forms, see .intoArray description in types.js.

> Use any combination of arguments to form a string. All invalid arguments will be ignored.

```javascript
var words= new Words();
words.set( 'numbers and strings accepted', 123, 'not objects, arrays etc..', {}, [1,2,3], 'they are simply ignored..' );
console.log( words.$ );
// numbers and strings accepted 123 not objects, arrays etc.. they are simply ignored..
```

**Words.prototype.get**
> `<string> get( <string>/<number> index, [index1, ..., indexN] )`

> Returns the word(s) found at index(es).

```javascript
var words= new Words('we can be very specific and pick any word we need');
console.log( words.get(5, -1) );
// specific need
```
**Words.prototype.$**
> `<string> $`

> A getter for .get()

```javascript
var words= new Words('fetch the whole string with a getter');
console.log( words.$ );
// fetch the whole string with a getter
```

**Words.prototype.string**
> `<string> string`

> Another getter for .get(), similar to .$.

**Words.prototype.xs**
> `<this> xs( <function> callback(<string> word, <number> index) )`

> Access every index/word of this.words and apply the result of callback to it. After a call to xs, this.words will be changed to the results of the callback.

> If the callback returns true, word is applied, but you could also return word which has effectively the same result. If the callback returns false or undefined, word will be skipped. Any character, String or Number returned by callback will be applied to index in this.words.

```javascript
// dispose all words longer than 4 characters
var words= new Words('words of more than 4 characters will be removed');
words.xs( function(word, index){
  if( word.length < 5 )
    return true;
});
console.log( words.$ );
// of more than 4 will be
```

**Words.prototype.find**
> `<array> find( <string>/<number> substring )`

> Returns an array containing all indices(numbers) in this.words where substring is found.

```javascript
var words= new Words('finding words with words is easy!');
console.log( words.find('words') );
// [2, 4]
```

**Words.prototype.upper**
> `<this> upper( <string>/<number> value, [value1, ..., valueN] )`

> Change words or characters to uppercase. If no arguments are given, all words are changed to uppercase. If index is set to 0, all character positions denoted by position, in all words, are changed to uppercase (if alpha of course). If indices is not set to 0, the words found on indices are changed to uppercase. valueN can also be a word, and words can be mixed with indices.

```javascript
var words= new Words('you can be very specific with upper and lowercase');
console.log( words.upper(-1, -3, 'y', 'specific').$ );
// You can be verY SPECIFIC with UPPER and LOWERCASE

var words= new Words('you can be very specific with upper and lowercase');
console.log( words.upper(0, 1, -1).$ );
// YoU CaN BE VerY SpecifiC WitH UppeR AnD LowercasE

var words= new Words('shout it all out!');
console.log( words.upper().$ );
// SHOUT IT ALL OUT!
```

**Words.prototype.lower**
> `<this> lower( <string>/<number> value, [value1, ..., valueN] )`

> The same as with .upper(), except for that uppercase characters are changed to lowercase.

**Words.prototype.reverse**
> `<this> reverse( <string>/<number> index, [index1, ..., indexN] )`

> Without arguments this.words is reversed; not the characters, like with Strings.reverse(), but the words positions in this.words are reversed. If index is 0, every word is reversed, but will remain on it's original/current index, every additional argument is then ignored. With index or indices given, the characters in the words denoted by indices are reversed.

```javascript
var words= new Words('reverse words positions');
console.log( words.reverse().$ );
// positions words reverse

var words= new Words('words are reversed in place when 0 is given');
console.log( words.reverse(0).$ );
// sdrow era desrever ni ecalp nehw 0 si nevig

var words= new Words('any reason to reverse a specific word?');
console.log( words.reverse(1, -1, -2).$ );
// yna reason to reverse a cificeps ?drow
```

**Words.prototype.shuffle**
> `<this> shuffle( <string>/<number> index, [index1, ..., indexN] )`

> Shuffles the word on index, if index is given. If index is/are strings, the matching words will be shuffled. If index is 0, every word is shuffled, but will remain on it's current index, following arguments are ignored. Without arguments, all indices are shuffled.

```javascript
// pseudo random

var words= new Words('let\'s mess up this sentence');
console.log( words.shuffle().$ );
// sentence let's up mess this

var words= new Words('or mess it up totally in place');
console.log( words.shuffle(0).$ );
// ro esms it up ltlotay ni eclpa

var words= new Words('let\'s shuffle some specific words');
console.log( words.shuffle(2, -1).$ );
// let's efsfluh some specific srowd
```

**Words.prototype.clear**
> `<this> clear()`

> Resets this.words to empty [].

**Words.prototype.remove**
> `<this> remove( <string>/<number> indices and or words )`

> Removes any combination of indices or words from this.words. Without arguments remove does nothing. Invalid arguments are ignored

```javascript
var words= new Words('removing specific words is very easy');
console.log( words.remove(2, 3, -2).$ );
// removing is easy
```

**Words.prototype.pop**
> `<string> pop( <string>/<number> amount )`

> Removes the last word from this.words if no arguments are given. If amount is valid, amount words will be removed from this.words, starting from the last word going backwards.

> A string of all words 'popped' in reverse order, will be returned.

```javascript
var words= new Words( 'pop means: get and remove words from the end of this string' );
console.log( words.pop(3) );
// of this string
console.log( words.$ );
// pop means: remove words from the end
```

**Words.prototype.push**
> `<this> push( <string>/<number> word, [word1, ..., wordN] )`

> Adds words to the end of this.words.

```javascript
var words= new Words( 'push means: add to the end of this' );
console.log( words.push( 'string' ).$ );
// push means: add to the end of this string
```

**Words.prototype.shift**
> `<this> shift( <string>/<number> amount )`

> Removes the first word from this.words if no arguments are given. If amount is valid, amount words will be removed from this.words, starting from the first word going forwards.

```javascript
var words= new Words( 'shift means: remove words from the start' );
console.log( words.shift(2).$ );
// remove words from the start
```

**Words.prototype.unshift**
> `<this> unshift( <string>/<number> word, [word1, ..., wordN]  )`

> Adds words to the beginning of this.words.

```javascript
var words= new Words( 'adding words to the start of a string' );
console.log( words.unshift('unshift', 'means:').$ );
// unshift means: adding words to the start of a string
```

**Words.prototype.insert**
> `<this> insert( <string>/<number> index, <string>/<number> word, [word1, ..., wordN]  )`

> Insert word(s) at index of this.words.

```javascript
var words= new Words( 'insert a word in this string' );
console.log( words.insert( 3, 'specific' ).$ );
// insert a specific word in this string
```

**Words.prototype.replace**
> `<this> replace( <string>/<number> selection, <string>/<number> replacement )`

> Replace all words equal to selection to replacement.

```javascript
var words= new Words( 'to replace or not to replace' );
console.log( words.replace('replace', 'be').$ );
// to be or not to be
```

**Words.prototype.sort**
> `<this> sort()`

> Sorts this.words alphabetically

```javascript
var words= new Words( 'testing words is really funny actually' );
console.log( words.sort().$ );
// actually funny is really testing words
```

**Words.prototype.startsWith**
> `<boolean> startsWith( <string>/<number> string )`

> Returns true only if this.words starts with string

```javascript
var words= new Words( 'is this a start or an end?' );
console.log( words.startsWith('is this a start') );
// true
```

**Words.prototype.endsWith**
> `<boolean> endsWith( <string>/<number> string )`

> Returns true only if this.words ends with string

```javascript
var words= new Words( 'is this a start or an end?' );
console.log( words.endsWith('an end?') );
// true
```

__________

change log
==========
**0.4.1**

replaced deprecated code with strings.js dependency
adds babel transpile stage for higher quality bundle code (improved compatibility)
upgraded jasmin testing setup
cleaned up the readme

---

**0.4.0**

changes lisence to MIT

---

**0.3.9**

Updated the included types.js to version 1.5.0.

Deprecated .flexArgs. .flexArgs is now included (in the included) types.js and has been renamed to .intoArray. Use .intoArray instead of .flexArgs which will be removed at some point in time.
___
**0.3.8**

Added AMD support.
___
**0.3.7**

Changed:
- Words.prototype.pop: .pop used to return context to allow for chaining, but I decided to have it return a reverse ordered
(space delimited) string of the popped words instead. I missed that feature and considered it more valuable. Unfortunately
this can break some code, so check your project before upgrading it to this version.

Added Words.flexArgs convenience method in order to allow more flexible input. The constructor and Words.prototype.set are now
accepting: space delimited strings, multiple arguments and array
___
**0.3.6**

Updated the included strings.js to version 1.2.3
___
**0.3.2**

Removed strings.js dependency. types.js (1.4.2) and strings.js (1.2.2) are now included in words.js

___
**0.3.0**

Updated
-	strings.js dependency to the latest version 1.2.1.
-	readme

_______________________________
**0.2.9**

Finaly, the Jasmine tests have arrived. Fixed some minor bugs along the way.

_______________________________
**0.2.7**

Words.upper and Words.lower now accept multiple indices and/or words as mixed arguments.

```javascript
var words= new Words('you can upper or lower with indices and words mixed');
console.log( words.upper('can', 0, 1, 'indices', 'words') );
// [ 'You', 'CAN', 'Upper', 'Or', 'Lower', 'With', 'INDICES', 'And', 'WORDS', 'Mixed' ]

Updated strings.js dependency to version 1.1.9, which includes types.js version 1.3.6.
```
_______________________________
**0.2.4**

Updated strings.js dependency to version 1.1.6, which includes types.js version 1.3.4.
_______________________________
**0.2.0**

Modified:
- Words.prototype.reverse() - The default reverse without arguments no longer reverses all characters. This functionality
was 100% similar to the default Strings.reverse(), so pointless to overload. Now .reverse() reverses the positions
of all words, which is more useful as addition.

Added:
- Words.prototype.startsWith()
- Words.prototype.endsWith()

Don't mind the version please, as for every typo in the readme I have to bump the version for npm..
________________________________
**0.1.2**

words.js now depends on strings.js version 1.1.4.. strings.js now includes types.js version 1.2.8, which is
improved with force'Type'. Check types.js in the phazelift repo for changes and API.

Words.prototype.find only finds words now, use Strings.find for finding characters in words.
Words.prototype.remove(0) has been removed as an option to clear this.words. Not a big thing, I just thought
that we have .clear() for that, so it felt a bit confusing and redundant.

The manual is now more complete and up to date.

Next up are the Jasmine tests!

YOUR VIEW: Give authorities room to make decisions in repatriations
Submitted by farhan on Sat, 11/01/2014 - 7:50am
Asking "What does it meant to be granted a discharge amounting to an acquittal by the courts?", Yahoo contributor Andrew Loh in his commentary "Why deport the acquitted in Little India riot?" objects to the deportation of an "innocent" Indian worker who was "acquitted" after the prosecution opted to discontinue the case against him.
In his Parliamentary speech in 2008 (which Loh had cited from) Law Minister K Shanmugam in fact explained what an acquittal means. Referring to a lecture by former Attorney-General (later Chief Justice) Chan Sek Keong, Min. Shanmugam noted that:
"... [AG Chan] pointed out that a person acquitted of a charge is legally innocent but may not be factually innocent [and that] the presumption of innocence is a presumption that an accused is legally innocent."
Min. Shanmugam then quoted the court in DPP v Shannon (a case from the highest court in England) as saying:
"... The only effect of an acquittal, in law, is that the accused can never again be brought before a criminal court and tried for the same offence."
In short, the acquittal of foreign workers essentially establishes nothing about whether the men were factually involved in the riot or not. Thus, the acquittals really should have no implications on whether deportation action ought to be taken.
The real question for deportation cases is what process should apply.
Some have argued that only a court process is "due" process but castigating all repatriations, taken after Ministers or officials have considered the facts, as inherently faulty or lacking "due" process is wrong. In fact, such actions are routine. In the past three years, there were some 13,000 repatriation cases annually. In this context, taking action upon due consideration by officials can be "due" process.
What is the best process?
In any case, the crux of the issue is not merely about "due" process (though that is important) but what process Singapore should adopt, all things considered, and whether the elected Government of the day should decide, or whether our courts should decide or oversee the process.
But first, what of existing law?
Loh referred to certain statements by lawyer M Ravi, purporting to rebut the Government's statement that "a foreign national… has no right under our laws to challenge the repatriation order in court". M Ravi argued that Section 39A of the Immigration Act allows the courts to review certain decisions by the Minster or Controller of Immigration.
In fact, Section 39A is entitled "Exclusion of judicial review" and prohibits judicial review of any actions or decisions of the Minister or Controller under the Immigration Act, excepting only questions relating to compliance with procedural requirement under the Act or regulations.
In short, substantive discretion on immigration matters clearly lies solely with the Government and any judicial review is thus very limited in scope.
Returning to the question of what repatriation process ought to apply, I believe that the Government should decide, for several reasons:
• Most Singaporeans do not support deporting foreigners arbitrarily (i.e for no rational reason) but would also agree that foreigners have no rights to remain in Singapore – indeed, our courts have actually acknowledged in a 1988 case that rules of natural justice therefore do not even apply to foreigners in the context of immigration laws.
• Repatriation should not be a criminal justice matter – criminal conviction requires proof of guilt beyond reasonable doubt but such a high minimum standard of proof would be too stringent for repatriation.
• In the context of the riots, a vital public security consideration is at stake. Safety and security do not always trump considerations of justice or fairness but their importance must not be forgotten either.
This does not mean foreign workers facing repatriation by employers or the State should enjoy no safeguards. There should be safeguards, but these must not (a) make the repatriation process burdensome and protracted, as has happened elsewhere in the name of human rights; or (b) ignore other relevant national interests.
What then should be the approach, which strikes a fair balance among the competing values?
Foreign workers clearly have no right of permanent stay in Singapore. In my view, they should thus be prepared to leave upon the expiry of their passes or when their contracts are terminated -- although safeguards for foreign workers to change employers are appropriate in some situations, e.g. in cases of whistleblowing (to be assessed by MOM), or where the worker is awaiting compensation after injury and cannot perform his old job, or in cases of employer bankruptcy.
As for deportation by the State, as noted above, repatriations e.g. of illegal immigrants or vice workers happen on a routine basis, day-in-day-out. The State has wide powers, but has exercised them judiciously. There is hence no warrant or sense to change the existing procedure wholesale.
Mistakes possible, and how we should deal with this
So why should the alleged rioters be subject to a fundamentally different process altogether?
To me, there is no sufficient reason. I do acknowledge that amid the chaos of a riot, mistakes are a possibility. We should be open-minded enough to recognise that. However, the solution is not to make criminal conviction a pre-condition to repatriation, because proof beyond reasonable doubt is too stringent. Also, as many diverse policy considerations arise in deciding whether any foreigner should be permitted to stay in Singapore, the existing approach in the law whereby judges effectively cannot second-guess the calls of Ministers or officials remains the right general approach in my view.
Thus, the safeguard in repatriation cases should lie within the administrative process itself, i.e. with the authorities being lmindful, in exercising their powers, of the possibility for error. For example, assuming flight risk can be addressed, giving a foreign worker proposed to be deported time (e.g. a few days to a week) to make some formal representations if he wishes would have been no bad thing. Conversely, where the authorities assess that the evidence is clear, immediate repatriation should still be permitted. This is essentially no different from a vice worker arrested red-handed.
Ultimately, in my view the best way to protect our interests, all things considered, remains for Singaporeans to give the Government, whom we have elected, and the professional officers on the Home Team, room to make the necessary judgments on our behalf.

"On Edge" is a large scale CNC milled lantern. I had made smaller laser cut versions but I was interested in making a lantern that can take over and entire gallery/room with its shadows. This is my process of building the lantern.
First, you can use any CAD program to design the pattern for your lantern. I used Rhino to create the pattern from Persian Calligraphy. This project uses 5'x5' panel of 0.25" mdf sheets and 7/8" pieces of poplar for corner pieces.
Using Rhinocam, I generated the toolpaths for cutting the pattern. For this piece, I primed and painted the pieces before I started cutting.
If the pattern is dense and a large portion of the material is being removed, the cut order can be crucial. I started cutting in the center and worked my way to the corners.
After cutting all six panels, I cut 7/8 x 7/8" pieces of poplar for the corner pieces. I glued the poplar to the cut mdf panels.Using insert nuts and bolts, I assembled all sides of the cube. In order to keep the cube on its edge, 2 pieces of 1/4" steel were bent and attached to one corner with bolts.
To conceal the corner pieces, they were painted the same color as the mdf panels. Then all pieces were sprayed with Polyacrylic. For the light source, I used a 200w mini candelabra bulb. I needed the smallest and brightest bulb I could find in order to get the strongest shadows.
The wire is attached to side of one of the panels using wire clamps and comes out from the side of the lamp.
The pieces can be stored as flat panels. Assembly only requires Allan Wrenches and takes 2-3 hours.
Step 2 shows an image of what appears to be a video of the piece being cut. The doesn't seem to be a link to that video. Is there a link to the video available?
Yes that is a screenshot of the video. I don't have the video uploaded anywhere, but it's only the simulation of the cut through Rhinocam.
For the first question: In my studio practice as an artist, I use a lot of Persian calligraphy as it is related to the concept of my work. I usually create the calligraphy using Rhino. In this particular piece, I used a simple grasshopper script to array the words, adjust the spacing etc.
for the 2nd question: I made 3 different patterns full-scale and improved the design each time, before cutting the final piece. Still some small pieces broke but I was able to glue them back together for the most part. Having pieces break off is a problem when working with fine and thin detail, but the missing pieces are usually not noticabe since the pattern is so dense.
kianahonarmand thank you for your advice. I made one following your guidelines. I've used inkscape for the design and a laser cutter. For the light source I make use of a LED. The laterne mesured 5 by 5 by 5 inches.
Verry interested to see more of your artists work.
I would be interested to know what CNC machine you are using and also you said you had a Laser cutter.
I would like to know what people are using as I am looking to buy one very soon.
This is gorgeous. Sadly, my CNC router isn't big enough to make it the size of yours... but I could easily do a scaled-down version. Might use Celtic knotwork for the motif.
Thank you. I have made smaller versions that were laser cut . You can still get decent shadows from smaller lamps. Hope you can make one and share pictures of it.
I would try displaying this piece with a corner facing downward, rather then edge downward. Or it could be hung by a corner as a ceiling fixture.
Impressive. Will try and make one too.
Looks like tricky work to me but all i can say that guy got skills.
